Just when Yuan Ming thought he would be trapped on the stone bridge, the number of thunderbolts falling from the sky gradually decreased, and finally disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
When Yuan Ming saw this, he immediately changed his form and ran quickly towards the other end of the stone bridge. However, not long after, another round of thunder and fire came down, and Yuan Ming had to transform into an immortal tree again to resist.
After such repeated cycles, Yuan Ming changed the immortal tree seven times before finally seeing the end of the stone bridge.
He did not dare to delay, so he put away the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick, and before the real fire surrounded him, he jumped off the stone bridge and stood on the other side of the river of fire.
As Yuan Ming left, the real fire on the bridge also died down, reappeared and disappeared without a trace in a short moment, as if it had never appeared.
Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, took out a healing elixir and drank it. At the same time, he used the power of the undead tree demon to recover all the hidden injuries in his body.
Only then did he look around again, and a gentle voice suddenly came to his mind.
"You finally came."
Yuan Ming's body trembled and he followed the sound.
I saw a slim figure in an indigo dress standing not far away, and it turned out to be Xiying.
"Xiying? Why are you here?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.
"There is no time to explain. You listen to me first. Not far away is the inheritance of Danwang Pavilion. You must take the inheritance before everyone else. You must not let it fall into the hands of Ouyang Qiang and others, otherwise
The consequences will be disastrous!" Xiying quickly stepped forward, grabbed Yuan Ming's hand, and pulled him to leave.
"Wait, let's make it clear first. Weren't you in Zhongzhou before? Emperor Yan's mausoleum is located in the abyss. How did you arrive?" Yuan Ming frowned slightly, as if there were roots under his feet, and he did not move a step.
"Hey, it's already this time, why are you still worrying about trivial matters? Danwang Pavilion is the sect of Zhongzhou. Naturally, there are many secret realms in Zhongzhou. I came from one of the secret realms in a teleportation formation and found that you are here too.
, so I stayed here to wait for you!" Xiying said angrily, speaking quickly.
"This is strange. Fairy Yunluo told me clearly that the secret realm of Danwang Pavilion in Zhongzhou has been damaged and is completely inaccessible." Yuan Ming's eyes showed doubts.
"Then Fairy Yunluo is just a monk who has returned to the Void, and she has left the Su Nu Sect for many years. How can she know the information about Danwang Pavilion?" Xiying frowned.
"Oh, that's because I remembered it wrong." Yuan Ming nodded, as if he believed Xi Ying and was about to follow her.
But in the next moment, he suddenly raised his hand, and the Soul-Destroying Sword came out instantly. The sword light flashed past and cut Xiying into two pieces.
"Yuan Ming, what are you doing!" Xiying screamed in pain, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"I haven't contacted Xiying for a while, and I have never told her about Fairy Yunluo. So, how did you know about Fairy Yunluo?" Yuan Ming asked slowly.
Xiying's face suddenly showed a look of resentment, and she wanted to speak, but Yuan Ming didn't give "her" a chance, and directly killed "her" with a sword.
Xiying's body shattered into pieces and disappeared into a puff of black smoke.
Yuan Ming sighed, a white light flashed in his hand, and an extra white rune appeared. It was the Dream Rune of All Living Beings, buzzing and trembling.
Although what he had just said was conclusive, if it hadn't been for the illusory breath sensed by the Dream Rune of All Living Beings, he might not have been able to make up his mind to kill Xiying.
Yuan Ming's surroundings changed rapidly, and he was back on the stone bridge. He was only one step away from the red mist at the end, and countless real fires were rushing toward him behind him, about to devour him.
Everything just now was just an illusion.
Yuan Ming decisively stepped forward and stepped off the stone bridge, passed through the red mist, and stepped onto the land on the other side of the Fire River.
He calmed down and looked around the empty surroundings. He couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or happy.
But at this moment, the communion talisman on his body suddenly shook, flew out, and floated in front of him.
"Yuan Ming, tell me your current situation immediately!"
"What dangers are there on the bridge?"
"What are you doing? Talk back right now!"
Ouyang Qiang's voice kept coming from the talisman, obviously filled with anger.
Yuan Ming smiled coldly, suddenly raised his hand, crushed the Talisman of Shared Life, then turned around and moved forward without any intention of staying.
Soon, a three-story mahogany loft appeared in front of Yuan Ming's field of vision.
And when he got closer, he found a stone tablet erected outside the attic, which read - "Those who pass the test can enter and exchange the fire beast crystal core for treasures."
Yuan Ming was stunned, Fire Beast Crystal? Could it be referring to the fiery red crystal core that fell after hunting those flame beasts?
He looked down at the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick in his hand and smiled bitterly.
Along the way, all the fire beast crystal cores Yuan Ming obtained were fed to the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick. Even when he was traveling with Fairy Yunluo, he quietly put the harvested crystal cores and the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick together.
Stick swallowed.
Now, all the crystal nuclei have entered the "belly" of the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick, and Yuan Ming cannot take out any of them, let alone exchange them for treasures.
Is it possible that this trip will be in vain?
Yuan Ming sighed and finally walked into the attic.
The decoration in the attic is very simple, with only a few half-person-high mahogany tables and neatly arranged light red candle holders placed against the wall.
Opposite the small mahogany table is a high wall with hundreds of squares inlaid on it.
The surface of these squares is shrouded in a thick white light curtain, making them appear indestructible.
Inside the square, there are various rare and rare treasures stored, while outside the square is a wooden sign that records the number of fire beast crystal cores required, as well as an array plate for placing the crystal cores.
Yuan Ming took a closer look at the treasures in the grid, including elixirs, spiritual materials, and various magic weapons. Even through the white light curtain, he could feel the surging aura hidden in them.
Unfortunately, the amount of fire beast crystals required for these treasures is also very large. Even if the required fire beast crystals are not many, Yuan Ming, who is empty-handed, can only stare blankly at this time.
Yuan Ming looked at the treasures in the squares, and then at the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick in his hand. He immediately became angry and put it away directly, out of sight.
If you go deep into the treasure mountain, how can you pass by empty-handed?
He put away the mahogany square table and other items in the attic, then took out the Zhuxian Sword and slashed it against the high wall.
A green sword energy struck it, but disappeared in a flash and was swallowed up by the white light curtain, without any effect.
Yuan Ming had a look of surprise on his face, raised his hand and pressed it on the white light screen, sensing it carefully.
"So that's it, it's this kind of restriction..." His face quickly showed joy.
The white light curtain arranged around the square is an extremely clever space restriction, making it impossible for any attack or method to touch the square.
And if you want to break this restriction, with Yuan Ming's current formation level, the time it will take is still incalculable.
However, since the restriction cannot be touched or removed, Yuan Ming simply chooses to bypass it directly. He has another way.
Yuan Ming summoned the Heavenly Demonic Pillar with one move with one hand.
Through the ability of this object to break through the air, it may be possible to directly take out the treasures in the square.
But Yuan Ming is not sure whether there are other forbidden guards here, so he will give it a try.
Yuan Ming thought as his consciousness wandered through the attic, looking for the most worthy target.
Suddenly, he noticed that in a square at the bottom of the high wall of the attic, a yellow stone talisman less than half the size of a palm was lying quietly. Its appearance was almost exactly the same as the Sky-Escape stone talisman held by Uru.
Yuan Ming has long seen the power of the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman. Even if he advanced to return to the void, he still couldn't see through Ulu's invisibility. This object is so similar to Ulu's Sky-Escape Stone Talisman. Could it be a treasure with similar effects?
With this thought, Yuan Ming made a decisive choice, quickly came to the square where the yellow stone talisman was located, activated the magic pillar to the sky, and broke through the white light curtain in front of the stone talisman.
The white light curtain was extremely tough. Although it was not as good as the space barrier of Stealing Heaven Cauldron, it still took him a quarter of an hour to break through it.
A space crack the size of an adult's arm instantly appeared in front of him. Through the crack, he could clearly see the yellow stone talisman lying in the red cloth, as if there was no restriction.
Yuan Ming immediately stretched out his hand, passed through the crack in space, and grabbed the stone talisman.
"The Heaven-Bearing Demonic Pillar can indeed break through this white light curtain!" He was overjoyed and was about to break through the restrictions in other squares.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a space restriction covering his body. Before he could make any reaction, his eyes suddenly blurred and he came to another strange place surrounded by red walls.
"I can only take one treasure... What a pity!" Yuan Ming sighed. After wiping his sweat, he lowered his head and saw that the stone talisman was still in his hand, and he immediately smiled.
He put away the Heaven-reaching Demonic Pillar and used his spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings. He found that the surrounding red walls were made of unknown materials and could not only emit a faint light, but could even isolate his spiritual consciousness.
And the place where he is now is also quite small. It is surrounded tightly by four walls and roofs, leaving only four deep narrow passages leading to nowhere.
Yuan Ming's consciousness extended along the passage and found that there were similar small spaces on the opposite side.
There are also passages in those spaces, leading in all directions, and the passages connected are still narrow spaces, looking like a maze.
Yuan Ming did not move forward immediately, but raised the stone talisman, looked at it for a moment, and then began to practice it.
Soon, he understood the function of the stone talisman.
This talisman is called the Shapeshifting Stone Talisman. It has no magical power for attack or defense. The only magical power is shapeshifting. When activated, it can transform itself into a stone.
"Transformation..." Yuan Ming muttered to himself and activated the stone talisman.
A yellow light flashed across his body, and his body quickly shrank, turning into a gray stone the size of a washbasin after a few breaths.
All of Yuan Ming's mana, soul power, and qi and blood power have been sealed. The gray stone has no aura fluctuations and is completely a real stone.
"Good stuff, really good stuff!" Yuan Ming was not disappointed, but overjoyed.
Compared with the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman, this Talisman is more limited in use and cannot be moved after transformation, but the concealment effect is not bad at all and consumes very little. It can maintain the transformation state for a long time without worrying about being revealed.
Yuan Ming tried it several times and was quite satisfied with the effect of the stone talisman. Then he put away the transformed stone talisman, picked a passage, and continued moving forward.
