In the mezzanine space of the stone hall, the light was dim and silent. On a simple stone platform made of the remains of broken stone statues, six artifacts were quietly placed.
Jiang Li glanced over and was first attracted by a small, dusty cauldron.
It was about the size of a palm, and its entire body was covered in dust. Its original appearance could not be seen, but it gave Jiang Li a feeling of familiarity and kindness in his heart.
Jiang Li flicked his fingers, and a gust of wind blew past his fingertips. Ashes and dust flew up, and Xiaoding's true form was revealed.
On the body of the bronze-green tripod, a vast plain emerges, with lush vegetation and countless small lakes dotted among it. There are also long rivers meandering between the plains and mountains, giving people a vast and boundless feeling.
Standing in front of Xiaoding, it is as if he has transformed into a god, overlooking the entire state.
There are also many ancient and mysterious powerful creatures that live in it, fight with each other, and protect all living things.
"Another cauldron!"
The moment Jiang Li saw the copper-green small cauldron, for some reason he suddenly remembered the black-red cauldron in his mind.
Although the colors of the two are different, the shapes and the relief images carved on the tripod are also very different, but they both have a feeling of being like thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and vast mountains and rivers.
It is as if controlling this cauldron can control the movement of heaven and earth.
Jiang Li had been very curious about the cauldron in his mind before, and had searched the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion for documents that might record these cauldrons, but he had found nothing.
"Last time, when I collected the black and red cauldron, it seemed that with just a slight touch, the cauldron sank directly into my body and entered the space of the altar!"
Jiang Li took a deep breath, slowly stretched his hand forward, and touched the cauldron lightly with his fingertips. A slight cold feeling spread from his fingertips, but other than that, nothing strange happened.
The bronze green cauldron was calm as usual, without any reaction.
"Is it because of the blood in my body?"
Jiang Li frowned. He cut his fingertips and grabbed the small cauldron again, and even actively activated the golden pages in the space of the altar. However, the copper-green small cauldron remained calm as before.
Even the Sumeru Precepts cannot contain it.
"Isn't this small cauldron the same kind of cauldron as the one in the altar in my mind?"
Jiang Li couldn't find a solution and was about to give up. When he was looking for a piece of cloth to wrap up the small cauldron and take it away, the black and red small cauldron, which had been silent since entering the space of the altar, suddenly started to tremble slightly.
A strange wave was transmitted along Jiang Li's arms and blood to the bronze tripod.
"Buzz"
Jiang Li's palm trembled slightly, and the bronze cauldron began to tremble as well.
It seems to be responding to the black and red small tripod?
A very strange feeling arose in Jiang Li's heart.
The two cauldrons vibrated continuously, and different vibration frequencies were transmitted back and forth between Jiang Li's body.
"Is it a matter of communication?"
Jiang Li did not dare to act rashly and could only wait for the final result of the negotiation between the two cauldrons.
"Buzz, buzz!"
After an unknown amount of time, the small bronze-green cauldron trembled "reluctantly", and with a flash of green light, it disappeared into Jiang Li's fingertips and disappeared.
In the mental stage, beside the black and red cauldron, green light flashed, and the bronze green cauldron appeared out of thin air, floating side by side.
It is still arranged with the remains of Pan Emperor and the finished words on the golden pages.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but although the golden pages are still suspended at the top, the position of the two small cauldrons has been slightly raised, slightly higher than the remains of Pan Emperor on the side.
Jiang Li was amazed when he saw it.
Treasures have spirituality and can they be sorted automatically?
But since the quality of the two cauldrons can be compared with the remains of Pan Emperor, why are they like two dead objects without any superpowers?
Have you not fully recognized the Lord?
Or is it that with his current strength, he cannot reach the level of using a cauldron?
Jiang Li shook his head and put the question behind him. Anyway, he had collected the two cauldrons, so he could just explore them slowly in the future.
He looked at several other items on the stone platform, but they were a half-broken ancient armor, a jade slip, a large animal skin scroll, a black copper box and a gold vial.
Jiang Li first looked at the half-mutilated armor.
The armor is all green and gray, and seems to be carved from some kind of stone. It has a simple style and almost no decorative patterns. It looks like the armor worn by gods in temples in remote mountain villages.
The armor had suffered fatal injuries and was almost on the verge of breaking.
However, Jiang Li tried to use the magic sword to chop with increasing force, and finally even used the increase in the ultimate human realm of "Wrath of the Wild Sky", but he failed to leave a single shallow mark on the armor.
Looking over the armor, there are all kinds of complicated and arcane patterns inside, as well as some small circular grooves at some key nodes.
"This is the Yuan Qi battle armor!"
Jiang Li's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a book he had read in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, which recorded some secrets from the medieval times.
Legend has it that in that era, the energy of heaven and earth was abundant. Regardless of the martial arts, Qi, Tao, and many inheritances that have disappeared in the long river of history, one could easily obtain Yuan Qi from the outside and strengthen oneself without having to rely on precious medicines or secrets. Medicine, or absorbing trace amounts of Yuan Qi from nothingness.
Under the earth and mountains, some rare ores containing rich Yuan Qi are born. People call them Yuan stones, which are mostly used for refining weapons, refining alchemy, and casting spells.
Some powerful armor masters also master the inheritance of secret techniques. They can carve magic circles on the armor and drive them with yuan stones, so that the wearer has defense and attack power that far exceeds the body's own.
The incomplete armor in Jiang Li's hand is the legendary Yuan Qi Battle Armor.
"It is said that the Great Zhou royal family's treasure house also contains some Yuan Qi battle armors inherited from the medieval era, but they are also incomplete to varying degrees. I don't know how they compare with this one!"
Jiang Li was a little excited. He knew the significance of this Yuan Qi battle armor. If the Yuan Qi battle armor could be completely restored, it would definitely be another powerful weapon to shock Kyushu.
After memorizing the patterns on the inside of the armor one by one, Jiang Li flashed a faint light in his hand and placed a dozen True Yuan Pills that emitted a faint golden glow into the grooves on the inside of the armor.
In modern and ancient times, Yuanshi has almost completely disappeared, and only ancient families and sects with long history have a small collection of Yuanshi.
However, the True Yuan Dan contains the essence of Yuanyang, and its essence is also an attribute embodiment of Yuan Qi, which may play a similar driving role.
"Buzz"
Sure enough, when all the grooves were filled with the True Essence Pill, the originally lifeless armor seemed to have life again and seemed to be breathing.
A layer of faint golden light covered the surface of the armor, slowly flowing and flowing, giving it a somewhat gorgeous and noble appearance.
Jiang Li put on the armor, and traces of Yuanyang Qi flowed against the surface of his skin, giving him a powerful spirit, fearless, and omnipotent.
"With the increase in combat power of this Yuan Qi battle armor, plus six times the power of Huang Tianwu, if we encounter a semi-saint-level White Walker, we should be able to fight!"
Jiang Li put away the Yuan Qi battle armor and did not try or use it.
These artifacts that have been handed down from the Middle Ages have been mercilessly attacked by the years. Since they can retain some power, they should be used less often.
Jiang Li continued to look at the stone platform, but this time he picked up a huge roll of animal skin.
The zhenqi support held up the leather scroll and slowly unfolded it. The black animal skin, which was ten meters long and three meters wide, was covered with blood-red unknown paint, and two vast but completely different maps were outlined on the front and back.
Jiang Li had seen the map on the front countless times in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion and knew it by heart.
It starts from the border of the Western Region and Yumen Province in the west, goes to Beimang and Daluo in the east, and finally reaches the border coast of the East China Sea.
Although the topography is not detailed, and many mountains, rivers, and towns are far away from each other, it at least completely depicts more than 80% to 90% of all the landforms in northern Kyushu.
The map on the north side of the animal skin is the world hidden underground in northern Kyushu. Countless underground passages traverse east, west, north and south, connecting locations marked with indiscernibles.
Although Jiang Li didn't know these words, he could roughly guess some.
Many location signs are stacked one above the other, which further demonstrates the complexity and depth of the underground world.
Jiang Li mapped the front and back maps and quickly found the location of the Stone Palace, which was on the edge of the core area of the White Walkers.
"I didn't expect that there is such a vast and vast ghost world underground in Kyushu. Is this the legendary underworld?"
Jiang Li's mood fluctuated and he could not calm down for a long time.
Judging from the animal skin map and the army of White Walkers he encountered along the way, the number of White Walkers living in the underground world was at least in the millions.
Although it is far less than the population of several countries in the Western Region, Beimang, and Daluo, an ordinary White Walker has the strength and physique equivalent to that of a martial artist in the Jiao Martial Realm or above.
If so many strange ghosts appear on the ground at the same time, it is even possible that Beimang and Daluo will be completely destroyed.
However, the underground world is thousands of meters away from the ground, and it is definitely not easy for the White Walkers to climb up.
Jiang Li believed that there were even certain restrictions and rules on location, otherwise the world on earth would have discovered the existence of the White Walkers long ago.
After all, it is difficult for ordinary White Walkers to climb tens of thousands of meters and rush to the world, but for high-level White Walkers, it is not difficult.
"The underground world is connected to the ground. If it can be used properly, it may be used as a secret passage for the Zhou Dynasty to raid important military towns and tribes in Beimang!"
Jiang Li rolled up the black animal skin, put it into the Sumeru Ring Collection, and checked other items again.
""Void Step"!"
Jiang Li picked up the jade slip on the stone platform and studied its contents, but his eyes lit up.
Although this jade slip is placed together with the animal skin scroll and the Yuan Qi battle armor, it is a secret book of martial arts and body skills from ancient and modern times. It is unknown why it was harvested by the White Walkers.
It records a rather miraculous movement technique, which can use the reversal of Qi and blood and the wonderful force-generating skills of the physical muscles to enable the martial artist to burst out with extraordinary force in an instant, causing the body to become virtual in an instant and move to tens or even hundreds of meters. external location.
Whether fighting, chasing, or escaping, it can play an unexpected role.
Jiang Li was halfway through the scene when he suddenly remembered the strange movement technique that the crippled alien ghost used when escaping in the stone palace.
"You can use it just now by detonating your energy and blood?"
Jiang Li frowned slightly.
Although he has the power of the Nine Breaths of Tiangang and is not afraid of any secret method that depletes his energy, blood and physical potential, but when he thinks of fighting with people, blood spurts from behind...
That picture is really hard to accept!
"If this technique is really so special, it's better to use it as little as possible unless absolutely necessary!"
Jiang Li felt a little uneasy and continued to study.
However, until I read through it, I couldn't find any record of the side effects of blood spurting from behind.
Jiang Li closed the jade slip and tried to practice. His body kept moving around in the mezzanine space, exerting his luck.
The bones of Emperor Pan in the mental altar shimmered with white light, and there was also a shadow in the transparent bones that reflected with Jiang Li.
Even so, it took Jiang Li a full six or seven hours to master the method of reversing blood energy.
Then it took another day and night to master the muscle power skills and successfully use them.
This kind of speed in mastering the martial arts technique was something Jiang Li had never encountered before.
Even with Jiang Shirong's "Huangtian Killing Technique", it only took Jiang Li two or three hours at most to master a killing move.
But Jiang Li spent two whole days on this "Void Step" movement technique, and he only mastered two basic techniques, and he couldn't even coordinate them accurately to successfully perform them.
In the mezzanine space, Jiang Li kept moving. He kept trying for three days and three nights. Finally, on the sixth day after he entered the stone palace, he successfully mastered the technique and successfully performed the virtual step.
His figure was seen to be empty, leaving a shadow on the spot, and his true body had appeared dozens of meters away.
This kind of emptiness is not an afterimage left behind by a sudden burst of speed of the body that can be tracked and predicted by the opponent.
Rather, it is a martial arts body technique that is comparable to the real teleportation technique.
The figure instantly became blurred, and ghosts and gods were unpredictable.
The Wanfu Realm martial artist can use this technique to surprise and even easily kill the small master of the Yiwu Realm.
It is more lethal than the "Huangtian Killing Technique".
Jiang Li's physical strength is far beyond that of an ordinary Yiwu Realm martial artist, and his physical strength is even comparable to that of a mid-level Divine Transformation Realm warrior.
With the help of "Void Step", it may not be impossible to kill the peak martial artist of the Divine Transformation Realm who has developed many mysterious potentials in his brain.
Once a warrior enters the divine transformation, earth-shaking changes will occur.
When the brain's potential is stimulated, the spirit will become extremely sharp. Not only can it see through all the vitality of the opponent, but it also has many abilities such as photographic memory and premonition of danger. It can control all changes in the body and mind of oneself and even the enemy.
This is how he got his master's order.
Jiang Li successfully practiced "Void Step" and became almost undefeated under the Martial Saint.
In the future, he will advance to the Yiwu realm and will be the first person below the holy level.
"So you are here. I thought you found the secret passage to the outside and ran away by yourself!"
At the entrance to the mezzanine space, a big black dog flew up with four blood-patterned flying blades on its feet. It happened to see Jiang Li perform the empty step, and the dog jumped in surprise.
"What kind of movement technique are you doing? Your body shape instantly disappears. There is no flaw or warning. Darling, is this a movement technique or a Tao technique?"
The big black dog barked in shock, and quickly scanned all directions with a pair of piercing eyes. When he saw the stone platform on the west side of the space, he was immediately furious.
"Okay, let me tell you why you suddenly disappeared. It turns out that you found a treasure of ghosts. You are a human being and you are so heartless!"
The big black dog barked, straightened up, and ran towards the stone platform.
