The locust tree demon moved the roots of the tree, came to Xiang Shu, and presented two jade slips.
Xiang Shu took one of them, scanned it with his consciousness, and immediately found that the lines carved in it were slightly different from those on the altar at the moment.
"Sir, the inscription on this one in your hand was before the formation was activated."
The locust tree demon passed the other one in his hand forward, and said sarcastically: "This one is the change after the formation was activated. The change is really complicated, and the little demon only remembers part of it."
Xiang Shen took the jade slip with a calm expression and said calmly: "Go out and guard the entrance of the valley. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
When the locust tree demon heard this, he knew that his life was saved, and he left happily.
The valley became quiet again.
Xiang Shu came to the edge of the altar and sat down cross-legged. He took out a blank jade slip and quickly traced an outline by comparing the pattern of the altar with the one drawn by the Sophora tree demon.
This is the part where the two jade slips of the Sophora Tree Demon coincide with the altar, accounting for one-third of the entire formation.
The remaining two-thirds need careful consideration.
There are still eleven months left before the appointment to go to Xitian City.
Xiang Shen was not in a hurry, calmed down, and gradually deduced based on his own understanding of the restrictions.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days passed.
Xiang Shu was still sitting on the side of the altar, surrounded by discarded jade slips piled up into a hill.
Snapped!
Another jade slip was ruined.
Xiang Shu threw it aside, rubbed his brows, and did not continue.
Over the past few days, she had compared the pattern changes provided by the Sophora Tree Demon and confirmed the restrictions she had learned, and she had understood the formation to a great extent.
The remaining two or three points were beyond her restricted range, and any further research would be a waste of time.
According to her deduction, the altar pattern will absorb the scattered spiritual power within forty-nine days and continue to change until it is full of spiritual power and the pattern is completely covered by light paths, allowing people to teleport.
However, during the more than twenty days she waited, the pattern of the altar in front of her did not change at all.
Or, the formation pattern is damaged.
Or...it's the part of the formation that accumulates spiritual power, which needs to be opened manually.
Although the altar formation pattern is messy, there are no breaks. Therefore, of the two guesses, she prefers the latter.
The giant snake demon disciple has cultivation and low intelligence, so it should not be difficult to open the formation pattern. As for the formation on the altar, there is only one simple change.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu didn't hesitate, he immediately raised his hand and bluffed with his fingertips.
The forbidden runes quickly condensed in the air, turned into dots of spiritual light, and fell into the altar pattern.
Part of the lines suddenly lit up, was moved, turned at a right angle, and connected with the other two lines.
As soon as the two lines were connected, the entire teleportation array immediately buzzed and a weak suction force came out.
The spiritual energy scattered in the void gradually gathered under this suction force, covering the altar with a thin layer of white light.
The locust tree demon was standing outside, sensing the spiritual energy in the void beginning to flow toward the altar, with a look of shock on his face.
It had previously coveted the opportunity of the giant snake demon and had been secretly studying the teleportation array. Otherwise, it would not have been able to carve out the changes in the altar array pattern in just nine days.
The altar formation pattern is so complex that it took a hundred years for it to be roughly memorized.
The Immortal stayed here for only a month, and he actually cracked it directly?
"That snake died in her hands, it was not unjust..."
It murmured to itself, with awe in its heart, and immediately put aside some of its inappropriate thoughts, and guarded the valley honestly.
Xiang Shu naturally didn't know that the Sophora Tree Demon had other ideas, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
She reached out and touched the storage ring, took out the four high-grade spiritual stones, placed them in the four corners of the formation, and waved her sleeves casually.
But with a loud bang, the spiritual stones in all directions exploded and turned into powder.
The rich spiritual energy flows from the powder into the formation, and the formation lines light up quickly, skipping the forty-nine days of accumulation and reaching the perfect state.
An extremely obscure spatial fluctuation spread out.
Xiang Shu looked at the activated teleportation array, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not step in in a hurry, turning over his hand and taking out a paper figurine.
She stretched out her hand and touched the paper man's eyebrows, covering it with a wisp of spiritual thoughts, and then flung out her flying sleeves.
call out--
The paper man flew into the air, quickly filled up, and turned into a living person that was no different from Xiang Shu, and landed in the center of the formation.
Half of the light pattern of the teleportation array was extinguished instantly, and the paper man disappeared.
At the same time, Xiang Shu closed his eyes tightly and felt that the connection between himself and the paper man instantly opened an extremely long distance.
The location is right underneath the ground!
Xiang Shen's eyes suddenly opened, and a bright light flashed in them.
She immediately thought of the earthquake that the Sophora Tree Demon had mentioned before.
The underground location opposite the teleportation array is thousands of miles away from the ground, and it cannot be shaken out by a mere earthquake.
The teleportation altar in front of you was probably a portal in ancient times. Even if it was covered up by the years, it was still in the soil very close to the surface, so it could be easily shaken out.
All kinds of thoughts passed through her heart, and she felt it carefully. Seeing that the paper man's aura was always stable, she did not hesitate anymore, used the breathing technique, and took a step forward.
The remaining half of the light pattern of the teleportation array was extinguished instantly, and Xiang Shu's figure also submerged into the teleportation array and disappeared.
After a brief period of darkness, Xiang Shen's vision returned.
What came into view was an extremely spacious jade corridor. Spiritual stone lamps were embedded on both sides of the corridor. The spiritual flames were as green as will-o'-the-wisps, and they had been shining for who knows how many years.
Under the reflection of the spiritual flames, a bloodstain about ten feet wide was clearly visible on the ground, extending all the way to the depths of the corridor.
The giant snake monster was so injured by her that it was still alive?
Xiang Shen's eyes were slightly cold, and when he reached the point, he thought, and the paper man who was stuck at the entrance of the corridor immediately flew deeper into the corridor.
Xiang Shen fell far behind, and after following the blood stains through the two vertically intersecting corridors, his vision suddenly became clear.
In a huge underground cave, a giant snake demon covered in blood was lying in a pool of green water, panting quietly.
Wisps of green smoke rose from the surface of the pool water. Most of the wounds on the giant snake's body that were originally covered in flesh and blood have healed.
The giant snake demon never thought that Xiang Shu could catch up here. At this moment, the enemy was already in front of him. It didn't notice it at all and was still concentrating on healing its wounds.
Xiang Shen looked calm and flicked his right hand. Two white sword lights fell like mercury on the ground and cut along the wound on the snake's body, instantly cutting the giant snake demon into three pieces.
"hiss!!!"
The giant snake demon's eyes widened, and under the stimulation of severe pain, it raised its head and let out a miserable howl, struggling for death in the pool water.
A large amount of blood was spilled, dyeing the water in the pool blood red and illuminating the entire cave.
Xiang Shu waited quietly at the entrance until the snake's body was completely silent. Then he jumped on the snake's head. Without saying a word, he punched the giant snake's brow and took out a fist-sized crystal.
Without the crystal, the huge body of the giant snake demon quickly became shriveled up.
Xiang Shen used his spiritual consciousness to investigate and found that the snake corpse was an empty shell, and there was no monster or anything like it.
She raised her hand and glanced at the three-color crystal in her hand.
Is this thing the life core of the giant snake demon?
Having lost its life core, it seems that it is really dead this time.
With this thought, Xiang Shu sat down directly on the snake's head and carefully looked at the crystal in his hand.
The crystals are three-color in color, much purer than those of the human-faced snake monsters in the valley, but the smell is exactly the same, with an indescribable weird fragrance.
Xiang Shu couldn't find the source for a moment, so he didn't hesitate and jumped down and landed by the pool.
The green water in the pool had been disturbed by the giant snake demon, and it had already turned turbid and blood-red. However, after leaving it alone for a moment, it returned to its original clarity and was even slightly more alive than before.
Xiang Shen put his fingertips into it and sensed it for a moment, then raised his eyebrows suddenly.
Although this pool has healing power, its energy is extremely violent and is not suitable for people.
The family absorbed it, and its properties are somewhat similar to the Ten Thousand Refining Pearl.
It would take thousands of years for Demon King Huoyin and his wife to refine a Ten Thousand Refining Pearl. Here is a huge pool for healing monsters, which is enough to be worth thousands of Ten Thousand Refining Pearls. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it was formed naturally.
Could this underground space be the lair of an ancient demon clan?
No!
wrong.
The corridor at the teleportation array is very neat, and the spiritual stone lamps on the wall are not much different from those used in the current cultivation world. They are obviously the work of the human race.
Moreover, the ancient teleportation array is complicated and obscure, and it is not like something that the demon clan can understand.
Only humans.
She specifically checked the records related to teleportation arrays in the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect. Even if the teleportation arrays were placed in the ancient world of cultivation, ordinary monks could not afford them, and most of them were controlled by wealthy families.
If this clan was prosperous enough in ancient times, they might not only have mastered this kind of teleportation array across regions, but they might also have clues to the starry sky teleportation array!
Before she retreated, Qin Tianque said that the world and the earth were sealed here, and only by opening the inheritance tower could it be possible to leave this cultivation star.
She only believed half of it, and she still needed to verify the other half herself...
Xiang Shen's thoughts changed in his mind, but his hands kept moving, collecting the entire pool and the giant snake corpse into the blood ring.
She has been in seclusion for forty years, refining two million beads, her physical body is perfect, and her true energy cultivation has reached the peak of the late stage of leaving the body.
Although Wuxia Sword Intention has not been specially cultivated, when he understood the Sword Intent of Time, he was also touched. When he understood it to 49%, he could use his Sword Intent to break through the realm at any time and break through to the stage of divine transformation.
Once she breaks through, her physical body can continue to be tempered, and this pool of clear water will then be useful.
It's just that her true energy cultivation is now too far behind her physical body. Even if she has sword power to make up for the shortcomings, her lethality is still far behind her physical body's strength.
The most important thing to avoid in the way of cultivation is imbalance.
She had a hunch that if she made a hasty breakthrough under such extreme circumstances, her own practice would be in great danger in the future.
This problem cannot be solved by seclusion.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu sighed silently, put his thoughts away, and returned his attention to the cave.
She explored for a while and soon discovered that in addition to the tunnel she came from, there was also a rather hidden path in the cave.
The path was dark and there were no spiritual stone lamps to decorate it. The entrance is irregularly circular and should be used by the giant snake demon to pass through.
Xiang Shen repeated his old trick and controlled the paper man to walk in front, while he fell far behind and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"Thank you readers for your concern! I haven't updated during this period because my mental state was too bad and I went out to relax. Now I'm back and resume updating. Happy National Day, babies!"
