The river is extremely majestic, with a width of more than ten miles. The water in it is red in color. When the waves hit the shore, they will immediately make a "sizzling" sound.
It turns out that the scorching power in the river is even stronger than that in the sand!
"This river does not appear to be a natural formation. Instead, it looks like a link in a large formation. Junior brother, you may as well go down the river and you should find something."
Luo Hong reminded him.
After secretly nodding, Han Li copied Luo Hong's words and began to lead everyone towards the direction of the river.
This time, after walking for less than three days, they found a huge oasis.
Although most of the vegetation in the oasis is also red in color, it is finally a little different and is no longer the same sandy land.
There was nothing to say, everyone just calmed down and walked towards the depths of the oasis.
But not long after entering the dense forest, Fang Chan found a series of footprints. After checking carefully, he said in a deep voice:
"The footprints are very new. It seems that someone found this place before us."
"Maybe the people in Puppet City should be more careful."
Han Li nodded, gave a reminder, and continued to lead the people forward.
A few hours later, they walked out of the dense forest, and a huge city suddenly opened up in front of them!
There are buildings standing in the city, and the roofs are like huge swords piercing the sky, and they are all red.
The city gate was half-open, and everyone easily entered the city. However, after searching, they found that this ghost place was extremely poor, and there was nothing good in it.
Of course, they also found traces of rummaging by the previous group of people.
But it's obvious that they didn't gain much, otherwise the traces would definitely not be so few.
"It is said that there are countless treasures in the Great Ruins, but we have also explored two areas. Except for some star weapons, we can't find any treasures that are useful for cultivation!"
"The news about Daxu was spread by Ehuang and Shaxin. They deceived us like this. I'm afraid they have other agendas."
"There is no one in Puppet City. This ghost place really makes people want to stay less and less."
After going through so many dangers before entering the Great Ruins, the harvest was very little. Fang Chan and other white rock city blacksmiths could not help but feel a lot of resentment in their hearts.
"Since there is no treasure, don't waste time and go to the center of the city to have a look."
Han Li came out of a building empty-handed, greeted everyone, and walked towards the center of the city.
Not long after, everyone arrived at a huge square in the center of the city.
Looking at the crimson altar in front of them, Han Li and Shi Chuankong could not help but think of the word "sure".
Although the color is different, the appearance of this altar is very similar to the one encountered in the ruins of the palace before.
I saw a plaque hanging at the entrance of the altar, with the three characters "Youming Hall" written in Xuan script on it.
"As expected, there will also be a holy key in this altar.
Brother Shi, are you sure you must collect all five Holy Keys to open the Holy Palace?"
Han Li withdrew his gaze, looked at Shi Chuankong and asked.
"The five holy keys are indispensable. If you want to forcefully enter, you must have Tao Ancestor-level strength!"
Shi Chuankong was absolutely certain.
"If that's the case, we don't have to compete with those people. We have to cooperate in the end anyway."
From what is known, there are five such altars in total, and they should be distributed around the periphery of the ruins.
Others don't know how, but Ewan and Sha Xin will definitely not die so easily, and they will definitely get two holy keys.
In this way, the more dispersed the Holy Key is, the safer those who hold the Holy Key will be.
"Then Brother Li means we won't go down?"
When Shi Chuankong heard what he said, he felt it made sense and couldn't help but ask.
"No, although we don't necessarily need to get the holy key, there may not be anything good under the altar. How can we just take advantage of others?"
Han Li had a clear idea. He entered the altar this time to gain as much benefit as possible, and maybe he could conquer some more Taiyi-level star puppets.
Immediately, the six people entered the altar together, and soon came to a hall.
The light in the hall is quite bright, and there are no furnishings. Instead, there are square holes several feet high on the four walls, but it is empty inside.
But no one had any doubts about this, because there must have been puppets placed in these caves, and these puppets are now scattered on the floor of the hall.
These puppets were different from what Luo Hong and the others had encountered before. Each one was covered in red armor and had all the internal organs in its body, with large amounts of silver mucus pouring out of its remains.
Fang Chan picked up a piece of broken red armor from the ground, squeezed it in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"The strength of these puppets is not weak. The people in front can easily deal with them. Their strength should not be underestimated."
After saying that, he squeezed the armor piece hard with his right hand and smashed it into pieces!
"Looking at the traces here, there should only be four people in front of us. There are many of us, so don't worry too much and keep moving forward."
With Luo Hong secretly helping him, Han Li had nothing to fear as long as he didn't encounter E Pang or Sha Xin.
Soon, the six people passed through the hall and entered a corridor.
This corridor is not straight, but winding and extending downwards.
However, Han Li had previous experience and was quite familiar with this.
However, after turning a corner, Han Li immediately encountered a situation that was different from before.
I saw that the corridor ahead was suddenly divided into three, and it didn't look any different.
"There are footprints on the fork in the middle. The four people before us should have chosen this path. Fellow Daoist Li, how should we go?"
Fang Chan looked around and found that the forks on the left and right were very clean. Obviously, the people in front did not divide their forces here.
"There is no need to rush to catch up with them. There are many of us, so we will simply split up here.
Fellow Daoist Fang, the four of you go to the fork on the left, while Brother Li and Brother Shi go to the fork on the right.
If the forked path you choose reaches the end, turn back here and take the forked path in the middle."
After Han Li pondered for a while, he immediately made a decision.
"No matter how it is, if we continue to follow them blindly, it will be difficult for us to gain anything.
But I also ask fellow Daoist Li to rub another thunder seal for Fang, just in case."
Fang Chan quickly agreed to Han Li's proposal, but also made a request.
It turns out that the Great Black Sky Thunder Seal of Fang Chan and others cannot be retained for a long time because it was not given by Luo Hong personally, so after more than two months of traveling, it has already faded away.
"This is a small matter, reach out here."
After asking Luo Hong secretly, Han Li immediately agreed.
After a while, Fang Chan, who had regained the thunder seal of Mahakala, led people into the fork on the left.
"Let's go too."
After saying hello, Han Li led Shi Chuankong into the fork on the right. The further they walked, the wider the passage became.
After just one stick of incense, the passage was enough for six people to walk side by side.
Suddenly, a sharp roar came from the front. Han Li saw a white shadow flash, and a man in white rushed towards him like lightning. The white lightsaber in his hand turned into a cold light and pierced Han Li's heart!
"No need to hide, use the sword of spiritual thought!"
Just as Han Li was about to dodge, Luo Hong's voice came from his soul.
Almost subconsciously, Han Li's eyes flashed, and he gathered his consciousness and shot out a small crystal sword that was about an inch long. It entered the body of the man in white one step faster than the lightsaber.
Suddenly, the figure of the man in white froze, but Han Li immediately stepped forward, reached out and pulled out a palm-sized white talisman directly from his chest.
"It turns out to be General Tian Kuixuan. Fortunately, Brother Li, you are quick to react. This general is a talisman transformed from a talisman. It can change between virtual and real. There are naturally many ways to deal with it in the outside world, but in this scale-scaled sky realm, it is
Very difficult!"
Looking at the white talisman in Han Li's hand, the look of panic on Shi Chuankong's face suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help but express admiration in his tone.
"Brother Shi seems to know him very well, but is there any way to subdue him?"
Han Li held the dishonest talisman in his hand and was reluctant to destroy it.
"Brother Li only needs to seal it with a spell to prevent it from absorbing the power of the stars and make it no threat.
And if you want to conquer it, all the methods Shi knows must be used after you get out."
Shi Chuankong replied immediately.
"I see."
When Han Li heard this, he immediately had a thought and condensed a crystal chain, which was exactly the magical power he had born from practicing the divine art - the chain of divine thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, he used the element-separating magic chain method obtained from Fengtiandu to turn the chain of spiritual thoughts into a seal.
After putting away the peaceful white talisman, the two continued to move deeper along the passage.
A quarter of an hour later, the light in the passage began to become brighter and brighter, and a wave of star power that they had never seen before became more and more obvious.
Although the two of them didn't speak, they were both silently on guard, ready to deal with any changes that might occur at any time.
Just after the two of them turned the next corner, a square stone hall suddenly appeared in front of them, with five crystal clear white stone pillars standing in it, emitting bursts of starlight.
I saw that on these five stone pillars, except for the leftmost one, the remaining four had a white talisman affixed to them, which was the Tiankui talisman that Han Li had obtained previously.
The Tiankui Talisman in the middle is obviously much larger than the other three.
As soon as the two stepped into the stone hall, the four Tiankui talismans immediately sensed them, all emitting dazzling white light, and then flew out from the stone pillars, transforming into four men in white.
Three of the men in white clothes were exactly the same as those sealed by Han Li before. Only the man transformed by the largest Tiankui Talisman was not only much taller, but also wore a white armor and held a halberd, making him look even more powerful!
What's even more special is that the eyes of this talisman are flashing, and it seems that it has opened up its spiritual intelligence!
"This white-armored talisman not only has the strength of Taiyi, but also has spiritual wisdom, which is really rare.
Junior brother, please ask Shi Chuankong to exit this stone hall, and I will help you conquer them."
When Luo Hong spoke, four Tian Kuixuan generals pounced on him.
Especially the white-armored talisman, whose speed was astonishing. The long halberd in his hand was swung into pieces, and it also used some kind of starlight magical power to cover Han Li and Shi Chuankong, making them feel trapped.
The feeling of quagmire.
However, Han Li had mastered the means to restrain them after all. Even if he had to protect Shi Chuankong, he did not show any weakness in the fight with the help of the chain of spiritual thoughts.
"Senior Brother Luo, I can handle these days of General Kuixuan, so there's no need to go to such trouble, right?"
As he spoke, Han Li condensed another chain of spiritual thoughts, making the situation more favorable.
"As a brother, I believe that my junior brother can solve them, but the four Tiankuixuan generals are not the only ones that are valuable in this place. There are also the five white stone pillars, which are also rare and good things.
If Brother Wei is not mistaken, these five stone pillars have the magical power to attract the power of the stars. The Tiankui Talisman was attached to them before, which is to receive the nourishment of the power of the stars.
And once the battle situation goes unfavorable, they will definitely rely on the power of the stars in these five stone pillars to resist stubbornly. Junior Brother will not only have to work harder, but also very likely to damage these five stone pillars."
Luo Hong Chuanyin explained.
"I see, then thank you very much, senior brother!"
Han Li was very persuaded. He immediately understood that the White-armored Talisman was actually the Tiankui Talisman that had been nourished by the power of the stars for many years before it advanced.
Since he intends to conquer these Tiankui Talismans, it is best for him to keep this warm and nourishing magic circle in his bag as well.
As a result, Han Li immediately showed a slight weakness in the ensuing fight, and then pushed Shi Chuankong with his palm, sending him flying towards the entrance of the stone hall.
"Brother Shi, you don't have the means to deal with General Tian Kuixuan, so get out of here first!"
Shi Chuankong also knew that his stay was just a hindrance, so he quickly returned to the previous passage.
As soon as his footsteps became distant, four golden lights flew out from the patterns on Han Li's robes and fell on the four Tian Kuixuan generals respectively.
After hearing a few "ding ding" sounds, a layer of golden light emerged from the bodies of the four Tian Kuixuan generals, and they were all fixed in the air.
Han Li was overjoyed when he saw this. He pointed his sword and shot four chains of spiritual thoughts into their bodies.
After a few quick kneadings, he shouted "Photo"!
The four chains of spiritual thoughts were retracted together, and the ends were all wrapped with a white talisman.
Immediately, Han Li followed the law and sealed all four Tiankui Talismans!
After finishing, Han Li came to the five stone pillars and observed them for a while before discovering that there was a short stick sealed in each of the stone pillars.
It is full of mysterious star restrictions, and it is obvious that they are the core of this magic circle.
Therefore, Han Li then carefully took out the short stick, and asked Luo Hong to help open the Huazhi Cave and store them inside before he was completely relieved.
"Okay Brother Shi, let's move on."
After the two set off again, they encountered no more attacks and arrived at the end of the passage, in front of a black staircase with hundreds of steps.
The stairs spread downward, and at the end was an exit emitting white light. Behind it, you could vaguely see a huge and empty hall.
More importantly, there were also bursts of fighting and yelling.
"Brother Shi, there is a fight ahead. Li will go and see what's going on first. Don't move around here."
After saying that, Han Li used the Ten Thousand Apertures Empty Silence Technique to restrain his aura and walked down the stairs.
Not long after, he saw the people fighting clearly. It was the four people who entered the altar before them, and they were all his acquaintances.
