Chapter Thirteen: Stone Pillars
There was not much time left for Yu Xiao. The violent vibration just now had caused unknown damage to the entire Earth Fire Spiritual Vein.
The worst result is that the lower area completely collapses and all the passages connecting the two places are destroyed.
As a result, if he wants to leave this place, the normal method will no longer work, and he needs to find another way.
However, Yu Xiao didn't know how to cross this insurmountable cliff. He was just a monk at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Without the Meditation and Antipyretic Talisman, even self-protection was a problem.
There is only a dead end if he continues to stay here. His only option is to go elsewhere, and there may be an unexpected way out.
After observing the flow direction of the magma, Yu Xiao carefully groped in the opposite direction.
The ground here looks very solid, but in fact some areas are extremely fragile. It is not enough to support your weight if you step on it. If you are not careful, you will fall down.
Even for immortal cultivators, facing the scalding magma, it is difficult to resist the invasion of that temperature, and the result will be that not even the slag will be left.
There are also narrow cracks in some places, and high-temperature spiritual energy spurts out along these cracks. If you are contaminated by them, you will suffer some burns at least, or the whole person will burn, which is also very dangerous.
In addition, the Earth Fire Flame Spirits wandering around are also a great threat. Compared with the middle area of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein, the Earth Fire Flame Spirits born here are obviously more powerful.
Sure enough, not far after walking, in front of a place where magma meets, a huge fire spirit that is more than six stories high is constantly throwing out the molten material on its body, squirming while devouring the material it comes into contact with.
red earth.
Tens of feet away from the other party, Yu Xiao could already clearly feel the hot pressure coming from the boiling magma in the center of the earth, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.
This earth fire flame spirit has probably reached the level of the late stage of Qi refining, or even stronger.
Fortunately, as long as such creatures with low intelligence do not actively provoke them, even if they notice traces of humans, they will generally not choose to attack. Otherwise, this place will be a desperate situation for all monks.
Yu Xiao did not overestimate her ability to challenge the other party, and hurriedly avoided the behemoth, for fear of disturbing the other party's eating process.
Continuing to move forward, Yu Xiao discovered more Earth Fire Flame Spirits along the way. They were not as huge as the first time he saw them, but they were more numerous and he did not dare to provoke them, so they all got out of the way.
Right now, the most important thing is to find a way back to the upper space of the Earth's Fire Spirit Vein. Collecting the Fire Spirit Qi has become a less important thing. It can save mana and pass through safely, which is naturally the best result.
This time, after about a cup of tea, Yu Xiao stopped again. On the ground in front of him, under the arched stone ring formed by two rock cones protruding from the ground, there was a relatively dazzling red light.
He only took one look and determined that it was not a strange phenomenon caused by the confluence of magma. Looking from a distance, it seemed that a red ball of light covered with cloth fell on the ground, which was very strange.
When he got closer, he realized that the luminous object was a thick stone pillar over five meters high that required three people to hug it.
The stone pillar is not standing on the red ground, but floating half a meter above the ground. The whole thing is very round. At a glance, you can tell that it is not natural, but man-made.
On the surface of the stone pillar, you can vaguely see the strange carved runes and numbers. They contain infinite magic power, like a water pump, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and radiating a faint white light.
What puzzles Yu Xiao is that when viewed from a distance, the stone pillar looks like a red-hot iron block. As the distance gets closer, the light of the stone pillar becomes less dazzling, almost like the moon on a foggy night.
.
"What a strange place!" Yu Xiao thought deeply, and slowly walked forward, wanting to observe the stone pillar up close.
His intuition told him that the stone pillar must be something left over from the Fuguang Sect. On this endless crimson land, he didn't see any iconic terrain structures along the way.
There is actually an arched stone ring surrounded by rock cones and luminous stone pillars standing here, which may very well be the key to leaving this place.
As soon as he came closer and before he got close to the stone pillar, Yu Xiao suddenly discovered that there was already a person standing on the other side of the arched stone ring surrounded by pitons.
As expected, the man was also wearing the dustproof uniform of a registered disciple of the Luoxia Peak of the Fuguang Sect, and was looking at the stone pillar intently, very lost in thought.
As if feeling someone approaching, the person slowly turned sideways, revealing a dark face.
From the other party, Yu Xiao felt a stronger fluctuation than his own cultivation level, which was about the level of the fifth level of Qi refining.
You don't need to think about it to know that the other party must be like him. He was affected by the shock wave and fell here from the middle area during the previous earth fire spiritual vein riot.
We are both lost in the world, and at this moment, the two sides seemed to feel some sympathy for each other.
When the dark-faced man saw Yu Xiao for the first time, he showed a hint of surprise. Then he quickly regained his composure and acted very friendly. He cupped his hands with a smile, pointed to the sky and said first: "I'll be in Xialu Wuqi."
, Junior Brother must also have fallen from above."
"To be honest, senior brother, junior brother has been falling for a while." Yu Xiao nodded and responded while looking at the other party.
After seeing that there was nothing unusual about Lu Wuqi, he still did not relax his vigilance. After all, he had just been attacked by a sneak attack before. Who knows if the person who attacked him had also fallen to this level. In short, he could not take it lightly at any time.
"What do you call me, junior brother? Did you find anything along the way?"
Lu Wuqi only glanced at Yu Xiao and didn't look any further. Then he continued to focus on the stone pillars and asked for news unhurriedly.
"Junior brother Yu Xiao, I only discovered something weird here along the way. I wonder if senior brother knows where it comes from and what it is?" After reporting his home, Yu Xiao quickly changed the subject and asked about the origin of the stone pillar.
Hearing this, Lu Wuqi pondered for a moment, raised his hand and counted the numbers in mid-air, and suddenly there was a violent fluctuation in the spiritual energy around him.
At the same time, a strange scene happened. The stone pillar also flickered brightly and darkly with the violent fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual energy, as if it was alive.
After reaching this point, Lu Wuqi smiled with certainty and replied in a deep voice: "It should be correct. As far as I know, this stone pillar is probably a spiritual pivot."
"Lingshu?"
Yu Xiao murmured in his mind and quickly searched his mind for information about Lingshu.
When he was studying the treasure of the five-pole formation flag, he briefly studied the formation method. There was an introduction to the Lingshu in the "Six Arts Miscellaneous Book".
Generally speaking, any large-scale formation barrier will have a common problem, that is, the range of the formation is often too large, causing the overall spiritual energy flow and dispersion of the formation to be uneven, resulting in certain problems in the formation.
Some places are very fragile, exacerbating unstable fluctuations.
At this time, the spiritual hub is needed to play its role. It is a device that can operate on its own without the need for manual transmission of spiritual power. It can be used to balance the flow of spiritual power, stabilize the formation, and enhance the strength of the barrier.
