Chapter 457 Concerns
The crab Taoist walked along the weedy path and walked to a strange rock shaped like a hunched old ape and suddenly stopped, pointing to him and said, "Fellow Daoist Han might as well see, what is this?"
Han Li frowned slightly, stepped forward quickly, raised his hand to wipe the strange rock, and looked at it carefully for a moment.
"Is this... a stone of transformation?" His brows frowned even tighter, and he said with some uncertainty.
"Yes, it's this thing." The crab Taoist nodded and said.
"No wonder when I was exploring my spiritual sense, I couldn't find any waves of the formation here. It turned out that they were covered by this wild stone. I just couldn't imagine that the effect of this object covering the aura of the formation was so strong?" Han Li said thoughtfully.
"If it were just these wild stones, of course, it would not be enough for you to be unable to notice even Fellow Daoist Han." Daoist Crab glanced at Han Li and said.
"Is there any other way?" Han Li asked with a slight flash of eyes.
The Taoist Crab did not speak and led Han Li to continue walking towards the deep forest. Finally, the two of them came to a relatively open forest clearing.
When Han Li walked in, he found that the open space was burnt black. The low shrubs that had originally grown had been burned to ashes by flames, and a round stone platform the size of a millstone was exposed on the ground.
The surface of the stone platform was burned black by flames, and the runes originally engraved on it became blurry and difficult to identify.
Han Li rolled up his sleeves, and a breeze washed over, rolled up the ashes and dust on the stone platform, swept all the side, revealing the entire view of the stone platform again.
"What is this?" Han Li leaned over and looked at it, his brows twisted into pieces.
I saw that there were nine strange runes engraved on the stone platform, which looked like a huge dreamy celestial flower, and the petal texture contained many complex and secret special runes.
"If I read it correctly, this is a very profound dream-hide talisman that can block the aura fluctuations of many magic weapons and magic arrays. After cooperating with the Wasteward Stone, it will hardly be detected by the spiritual sense." The crab Taoist explained.
"Since fellow crab knows this pattern, I guess there is a way to crack it?" Han Li asked with a slightly raised eyebrows.
"Fellow Daoist Han, please look at the center of this ephemeral pattern..." Facing Han Li's question, Taoist Crab replied without comment.
Han Li looked around and saw that there was a blank space there, there was nothing at all. His brows frowned slightly and looked at the crab Taoist in confusion.
"It was originally where the Meng Tiantian stamen was, but for some reason it was destroyed and could no longer be identified." The crab Taoist said slowly.
After hearing this, Han Li observed carefully and found that there were indeed traces of human destruction there.
"Since you have identified the origin of this pattern, even if it is damaged, it should be fine. We just need to follow the method to crack it. Could it be that there is something strange about this pattern?" Han Li thought for a moment and said.
"Have fellow Daoist Han heard of the saying "Three Thousands of Great Dreams"? The reason why this rune is called Mengyin is because it has a variety of varieties and is varied. In this blank space, if there is a rune in the pattern, the method of cracking the entire magic array will be completely different. Even if I have memories of it, I don't know all the methods of cracking, and I just want to try it one by one, but I can't do it." The Crab Taoist shook his head and said.
"If this is the case, then you can only use force to break the method and completely destroy it." Han Li said after pondering for a moment.
"This... Fellow Daoist Han, you might as well give it a try." Daoist Crab said with a slight flash of eyes.
Seeing that his expression was a little strange, Han Li knew that it was not that simple, but after a moment of thought, a golden light flashed around him, and directly turned into a mountain giant ape about ten feet tall.
The mysterious orifice ray of light lit up on his body, and a low shout came out of his mouth. He lifted his arm, clenched a huge fist, and smashed it hard on the stone platform.
There was only a loud "boom" sound!
The entire stone platform shook, and a golden arc of light surged up, turning into a hurricane, striking all directions.
Wherever it passes, sand and stones fly, forests collapse, spread hundreds of feet before the momentum gradually stops.
At the same time, the Mengyin rune on the stone platform suddenly lit up a golden light, and golden patterns like vines spread along the stone platform, extending into the depths of the dense forest like a spider web.
Han Li transformed into a giant ape at this moment, and his natural vision was wide and he could see far. He found that golden patterns were lit up in the entire city outside the garden, and the vine-like patterns actually covered the entire secret land, looking gorgeous and dazzling, with a unique scenery.
"According to my estimate, if you want to break the restriction here with external force, you need at least the strength of the Golden Immortal Realm. Even if I have a blow with all my strength, I cannot do it." The crab Taoist said after pondering for a moment.
"Even if you can do it, I'm afraid you can't do it. The runes here are connected to the entire secret realm space. Once they are destroyed by violence, they will probably affect the entire secret realm's collapse. No one of us can predict what will happen at that time." Han Li's light flashed, his body retracted, and he returned to his original state.
"That's true." The crab Taoist nodded and said.
Han Li frowned and walked around the stone platform. Seeing that the golden light had dissipated, his heart suddenly moved.
I saw him pinching the magic trick with both hands, and golden light immediately gushed behind him, and the Truth Word Treasure Wheel emerged.
As his gaze turned, the huge golden eyeball on the True Word Treasure Wheel also slowly turned, hitting a golden light that was as solid as the stone platform.
As the golden light fell, the entire stone platform shone with a flash, and the charred marks on the surface suddenly dissipated and became as clean as new.
And a hazy light lit up in the blank space in the center, and strands of lines gradually emerged, like stamens, extremely complex.
Just as Han Li was about to check it carefully, the light and shadow in the blank area trembled quickly and became very unstable.
After watching for a while, Han Li felt dazzled and was shocked. He had no choice but to take the Truth Wheel back into his body.
"How?" asked Daoist Crab.
"This space is really weird. Although many ordinary things contain the power of the law of time, they are extremely weak. Every time I use the eye of reality to explore, the result is blurry and useless. This stone platform is no exception." Han Li said with a wry smile.
"Your Truth Wheel is not in its peak state. Perhaps after its power is fully restored, you can see the full picture of the Dream Invisible Rune..." The Crab Taoist said after hearing this and thought for a moment.
"I have thought about what you said before. But it takes too much time to take. After all, the opening time of the Secret Realm of the Minghan Immortal Palace is limited. Once the exit to the Beihan Immortal Realm is closed, I don't know when the year and month will be opened next time?" Han Li said in contemplation when he heard this.
The only thing he is worried about at the moment is how to get out of this predicament. Of course, once he finds out the way to leave, he doesn't mind staying here for a while. After all, he doesn't know what happened outside during the few days he came in, but I think Qu Ling won't spend a lot of time here to guard him.
"With your immortal body, your life span is almost infinite, so why worry about time? The vitality of heaven and earth here is no less than that of other places in the Northern Han Immortal Realm. You can practice here with peace of mind, and wait until the secret realm is opened next time." The crab Taoist suddenly said.
After hearing what the Taoist Crab said, Han Li's eyes flashed slightly and he fell into deep thought.
He had provoked such a giant like Beihan Immortal Palace before, and his situation was not good, but now he was being missed by Qu Ling. In addition, the Fengtiandu that made him creepy, he was in great danger in Beihan Immortal Realm.
In contrast, staying in this secret realm is safer.
"With that being said, once the Minghan Immortal Palace is closed, no one can predict what will happen in the secret realm. Once the environment deteriorates, the situation is probably worse than that of Shangqu Ling..." Han Li thought about it again and again, and still said a little worried.
What he didn't say was that if he was really trapped in this secret realm for hundreds of thousands of years, although he might not have any problems, the changes in the outside world would probably be earth-shaking. Jin Tong is now under the threat of Qu Ling, and the misfortunes and fortunes are unpredictable, and he still has many people who can't let go.
"No matter what, I can't leave here now. Fellow Taoist might as well try to restore the magical power of the treasure wheel first. Maybe it won't take too long to see the Dream Enchantment pattern clearly." The crab Taoist nodded and said.
"Now, I can only do this first." Han Li nodded and said.
...
Time flies and several more days pass.
In the center of this ruined small city, a huge square of hundreds of feet wide suddenly appeared.
The central core area is paved with white stone slabs, and the outer periphery is covered with newly turned reddish-brown soil, mixed with many gravel rubble and fragments of window edges and doors, which are obviously flattened just now.
On the square, there are extremely deep gullies, which connect with each other, forming a huge magic array with extremely complex patterns.
This array is called "Zhoutian Star Gathering Array". It is appended to the end of the second half of the Great Zhoutian Star Yuan Gong. It is an orthodox magic array that assists in practicing this technique. It is far from comparable to the "Star Gathering Array" and the like back then. Even the series of star magic arrays improved by Han Li himself later are still much inferior to it.
The Zhoutian Star Gathering Array has a total of 9981 star positions, which are evenly distributed around the magic array. Each of them can be inlaid with a star stone to assist practitioners and absorb the power of stars more quickly.
