Chapter seven hundred and eighty third thirty-year agreement
"This spiritual treasure is very evil. I'm afraid it is not prepared for normal monks. It must be treated with caution!"
With a thought in his mind, Luo Hong began a comprehensive investigation of the Underworld Gate.
Perhaps because of the refinement of his evil energy, this treasure did not resist his spiritual thoughts at all, and he could "see" every inch of it clearly.
However, the restrictions on this treasure are quite complicated, and Luo Hong couldn't figure out how to do it in a short period of time.
Before he could open his head, Old Demon Han flew over, so he simply put the matter aside for now, since he still had thirty years to spare anyway.
"Senior Brother Luo is quite right, so just wait a few days."
Controlling the formation was their only hope for getting out of trouble, and Han Li felt they couldn't take any chances.
"By the way, Junior Brother Han, do you have any plans for your ascension? Smuggling across space nodes is not an easy task!"
The opportunity was rare, Luo Hong had a change of heart and was ready to consolidate the timeline.
"Well... Although junior brother is currently somewhat confident about breaking through to the late stage of Nascent Soul, the realm of becoming a god is still far away, and ascension is really not something that junior brother can consider now.
However, Senior and the others are exploring the space nodes left by Linglong, and they will surely have results within a hundred years.
Senior Brother Luo can discuss the matter of ascension with them."
Han Li was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was quite strange that the topic suddenly changed from escape to ascension, but he still provided his opinions seriously.
"Junior Brother Han has misunderstood. Brother is not thinking about himself.
In fact, Brother Wei is exploring another method of ascension, but this method is too special to benefit others, otherwise Brother Wei will definitely share it with Junior Brother Han.
Now that I see that Junior Brother Han’s cultivation is approaching the point of ascension, I want to show Junior Brother a clear path.”
Luo Hong shook his head slowly and looked at Old Demon Han with solemn eyes.
Another way to ascend? Clear path?
The information was too much and too heavy. Han Li pondered for a while, then said with a serious face:
"Please give me some advice from Senior Brother Luo."
"With the information left by the Linglong Demon Concubine, it is not difficult to find a suitable space node. What is difficult is how to fight against the space storm when sneaking into the space node.
That thing is extremely dangerous. Even if a monk who transforms into a god encounters something particularly violent, he will be dead.
However, Fellow Daoist Bingfeng's innate magical power can sense space storms, which will definitely be of great help when sneaking across."
Luo Hong pretended to be profound and authentic.
"Senior Brother Luo, do you mean that Junior Brother and that ice phoenix will fly together?"
Han Li frowned and said with some resistance.
"Yes, this should be the most appropriate way. Junior Brother Han must not try to gain momentum."
Luo Hong saw that he looked wrong and immediately tried to persuade him.
"What the senior brother has taught me is that the matter of ascension does not allow for disputes of temper. The junior brother will consider it carefully."
Han Li nodded, and after thanking him again, he sat down cross-legged on the high platform.
There was no conversation for the next three days. In the early morning of the fourth day, Bai Yaoyi and Bingfeng arrived on the fifth floor together.
"Fairy Bai, you look so bad, but what accident happened to you?"
Seeing Bai Yaoyi's pale face, Han Li couldn't help but frown and asked.
"I'm ashamed to say that when I was searching on the first floor, I found a stone door with runes that were different from other stone chambers. I then forced the door open without thinking about it. As a result, many people came out of the stone chamber.
Wolf puppet.
Although I tried my best to destroy some, there were too many puppets and the passage was very narrow. As time went by, I suffered some losses.
Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Feng suddenly appeared when my magic power was about to run out, blocked the passage with ice flames, and brought me to the second floor, and I was able to escape from danger."
After Bai Yaoyi said it with shame, she glanced at Bingfeng gratefully.
Good guy, you poked a hole in the puppet nest, and you were too careless.
Luo Hong shook his head secretly. The former elder of Xiaoji Palace was probably in a hurry.
"Fairy Feng, why did you appear on the first floor of the inner hall? Aren't you responsible for searching the third floor?"
Han Li asked with some confusion, and glanced at Bai Yaoyi, obviously suspecting that she still had murderous intentions towards Bai Yaoyi.
If this is indeed the case, Han Li will refuse Luo Hong's kindness.
"Huh! Of course I can't trust you!
I don’t need to worry about the fourth floor where Fellow Daoist Luo is responsible for searching, but I can’t worry about the place where you two are responsible for searching, and I have to search it myself.
Otherwise, with my magical power to travel freely in the inner temple, how could I come to peace at this time?!"
Bingfeng did not hide her contempt, then looked at Bai Yaoyi arrogantly and said:
"As for me rescuing you, I only took the trouble to consider that you might be needed to get out of trouble, so you don't need to be grateful to me."
"This, having said that..."
Bai Yaoyi suddenly didn't know what to say, and felt frightened and angry.
"Ahem, since it's a near miss, there's no need to worry too much.
Fellow Daoist Feng, take a look, does the high platform under Luo look familiar?"
In order to avoid a dispute, Luo Hong decisively diverted Bingfeng's attention.
"Huh? This high platform does look familiar. It is the same as the priest's place on my Ice Abyss Island. Could it be..."
A look of surprise flashed across Bingfeng's face. Halfway through her words, she suddenly fled to the top of the high platform and placed her hands heavily on several places above Hanli Platform.
Suddenly, there were several crisp sounds of broken porcelain in the void, and several dazzling white spiritual balls appeared in the air.
I saw that after these white spirit balls trembled for a few times, they suddenly grew in size. In an instant, they expanded to the size of a wheel, and then they rolled towards the center at the same time, and soon merged into one.
Immediately afterwards, the huge ball of light formed by the fusion began to slowly rotate.
Under the shocked gazes of Han Li and Bai Yaoyi, Bingfeng continued to cast spells, flicking his fingers quickly, hitting spells one after another.
As these magic techniques disappeared into the light ball one after another, the huge light ball suddenly made a loud noise and turned into twelve snow-white formation flags.
These formation flags just turned twice in the air, then turned into twelve dazzling white rainbows that shot towards the surroundings, and then disappeared into the ground in a flash.
A moment later, a roaring sound was heard from under the Hanli stage, and after a violent shaking, a hidden giant formation emerged, with brilliant auras flashing endlessly in it.
There is no doubt that this is the control formation they are looking for.
"Fellow Daoist Han, please sacrifice the Xutian Cauldron. That spiritual treasure is the key to unlocking this formation."
Bingfeng couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw that she actually summoned the control circle after just a casual try, and she said quite forcefully at the moment.
Naturally, Old Demon Han would not do whatever she said. Instead, he first looked at Luo Hong aside, and after seeing him nodding solemnly, he spurted the Xutian Cauldron out of his mouth.
"go!"
As soon as his spiritual thoughts moved, the Xutian Cauldron was sacrificed by Old Demon Han to the center of the giant array. Before he could make any next move, a blue beam of light shot out from the center of the giant array, covering the Xutian Cauldron within it.
Suddenly, Han Li's consciousness was shaken, and he once again severed the connection with Xutian Palace.
Fortunately, Luo Hong was with him this time, so he didn't panic and waited quietly for the changes in the giant formation.
Just hearing a "buzzing" sound, the Xutian Cauldron immediately expanded and soon turned into the size of a house. The various patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish on it seemed to come alive, turning into phantoms.
The giant formation began to flow.
"The formation has been unlocked, everyone is putting out all their magic power!"
After giving a hurried reminder, Bingfeng pointed one hand and shot a white beam of mana light from his fingertips, hitting the Xutian Cauldron's body right in the middle.
As the master of the Xutian Cauldron, Old Demon Han did not have to do anything at this time, and his magic power was already being drawn by the Xutian Cauldron.
Luo Hong and Bai Yaoyi then each fired a mana beam to share the pressure for Old Demon Han.
However, even if the four of them gathered their strength and output a huge amount of mana equivalent to three late-stage Nascent Soul monks, it seemed that they could not fill the Xutian Cauldron at this time.
Soon, Bai Yaoyi, who was the weakest in cultivation, could no longer hold on. After her mana light beam was removed, Han Li suddenly felt a heavy pressure. He looked at the giant formation with an ugly face, only to see that only some of the runes appeared in the giant formation.
There is still quite a long way to go before it is fully activated.
"Junior Brother Han, please take back the Xutian Cauldron. It seems that with our current cultivation level, we cannot open this giant formation."
Luo Hong's voice seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. As soon as Han Li heard this, he no longer had the intention to persist. With a thought, he took the Xutian Cauldron back.
As soon as the Xutian Palace withdrew, the cyan light pillars ejected from the formation's eyes also disappeared, and the runes manifested in the giant formation gradually dimmed, and it didn't take long for calm to be completely restored.
"Damn it, this huge formation is obviously not controllable by Yuanying monks. Even ordinary early-stage god-formation monks must not be able to resist how long this formation draws mana!"
The disappointed Bingfeng flashed with anger in his eyes, then looked at Luo Hong and said:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, at this point, I'm afraid we can only help us out of trouble by asking Senior Ying Ming to take action."
Han Li and Bai Yaoyi couldn't help but frown when they heard that this formation could only be driven by a god-transformation monk. However, when they heard that Luo Hong had another way, they couldn't help but look happy and looked at each other.
"Luo Mou advises you not to have too much hope. Ying Ming's situation is special than ours, and she may not be able to activate this formation."
He said that, but Luo Hong also knew that they would not give up unless they saw it with their own eyes, so with a thought, he summoned Lu Zhu and Ying Ming out of the Jade Mansion.
"Master, Uncle Han, Senior Feng."
As soon as Green Bamboo appeared, he called to people obediently without worrying about where he was.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, this place looks quite familiar to me. Isn't it the Xutian Palace?"
Ying Ming glanced around and said with a smile.
"It is Xutian Palace that needs the help of Fellow Taoist Yingming!
The restrictions here are too severe. If you want to wait for two hundred years before leaving, you can only use this control formation, but the mana required to control it is at the level of a god. If possible, please ask fellow Taoists to take action.
"
Luo Hong spoke out what Han Laomo and the others felt.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, you will really pose a problem for me. Logically speaking, if you want something, I should take action.
However, Xutian Palace and I have special circumstances, so this time we cannot do as you wish."
Ying Ming pouted her lips and complained a little.
"Senior, can you please make it clear? I think you are not willing to sit here for two hundred years."
Although Han Li was shocked that there was a strange god-transforming monk beside Luo Hong, he was still focused on escaping the tunnel.
"Gee, Fellow Daoist Luo's illusions are really powerful. Look at me again."
After Ying Ming chuckled, she activated a roll of spiritual power to break the illusion that Luo Hong had cast on her.
Han Li's eyes flashed, and he saw that the originally beautiful Ying Ming suddenly turned into a lifeless puppet, with her lively eyes and human blood disappearing like bubbles shattering.
"Senior is actually a puppet!"
Han Li was shocked. He had previously thought that his humanoid puppets had reached their peak, but he didn't expect that someone could refine a puppet at the level of a god. It was really as high as the mountain!
"It's a psychic puppet, not an ordinary puppet."
Ying Ming corrected her emphatically, and then began to explain:
"As a psychic puppet, what I control is not magic power like you and others, but unrefined spiritual power.
Although it is not difficult to control this giant array with my level of cultivation, due to the difference between spiritual power and mana, this giant array will inevitably be damaged after this activation.
This formation is the restraining center of the Xutian Inner Palace. Once damaged, it will affect the entire Xutian Inner Palace, and the consequences will only be more serious than sitting here for two hundred years.
I can’t go into details about this matter, but I guess Fellow Daoist Luo knows about it.”
After hearing this, Han Li pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly darkened.
"If it's because of that, you really can't take the risk."
"Fellow Daoist Luo, it seems that you concealed a lot of things in your previous introduction."
"That's not a good thing. If possible, Luo would rather know nothing about it so he doesn't have to be bothered by it."
Luo Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Since it's something that even fellow Taoist Luo feels a headache about, then it's really best that I don't know about it.
But what should I do next? Although I have a long life and I don’t care about these two hundred years, I won’t be willing to waste it in vain.”
Surprisingly, Bingfeng believed Luo Hong's perfunctory words and asked calmly.
"Actually, we are not completely hopeless on our own. After all, we just opened the giant formation half way without any preparation.
If he recovers from his injuries, practices quietly for several more decades, and finally uses some secret techniques to temporarily increase his mana, it may not be possible to completely activate this formation.
Presumably with Fellow Daoist Feng's innate magical power, this formation only needs to be activated for a moment to teleport us all out."
In the original time and space, Old Demon Han took drugs and practiced hard for more than eighty years in the Xutian Palace. After breaking through the late Nascent Soul stage, he and Bingfeng used secret techniques to temporarily increase their magic power and finally escaped from the Xutian Palace.
Now that there are four people here, it will undoubtedly be easier to use this method.
"Thirty years! After each of us has been cultivating for thirty years, we will try again here!"
Luo Hong suggested with other intentions.
"It's acceptable to be trapped here for thirty years. If I practice the Huayuan Qigong in this palace, I can more than double my mana in a short time!"
