Talisman Emperor
Chapter 49 – Cave
Bang out!
A black silhouette like an enormous falling meteor as it smashed into the pitch-black rock covered in dust and let out a loud eruption.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xi woke up in great pain. The incomparable pain that was like his heart was pierced by ten thousand swords and bitten by many ants, causing him to slightly recover a trace of consciousness and open his eyes. What greeted his eyes was the thick poison and fog that was impossible to dissipate, and he was unable to clearly see his surroundings.
The only thing Chen Xi could confirm was that he was not dead and this place was clearly the bottom of the ravine in the Crimsonflame Mountain Range.
"Are you awake?" Accompanied by this voice, the bewitching red blood mist around him suddenly dispersed to reveal Ji Yu's thin face.
Chen Xi stretched her body for a moment, and other than the fiery pain in her body, she did not feel any other discomfort. He then gritted his teeth as he crawled to his feet, and he was already sweating profusely from the pain when he reached this.
“ Experiencing this incident is a good thing for you. "Ji Yu's expression looked very solemn, and he said in a low voice," You should always remember that except the sword of friendship to live and die, otherwise, you should always remember that, leaving your back to someone else doesn't respect your own life! "
Chen Xi nodded silently. If he was a little wary at that moment, there was no way Chai Letian would succeed in his sudden attack.
"Let's go . "Ji Yu seemed to understand as well that this incident was a huge blow to Chen Xi, so when he saw Chen Xi acknowledge his gaze, he did not speak any further. His figure swung and the tip of his foot did not touch the ground as he soared into the depths of the fog like a small boat.
Chen Xi glanced around, then asked in a daze. "Where to go?"
“50 km ahead from here is the basic location of this formation. If you want to get out of here then break the foundation. "Ji Yu's voice drifted out from within the fog.
…
The Qi and fog that invaded scattered into the air and the howls of the ferocious beasts resounded.
Chen Xi followed behind Ji Yu. As he stared at the dense red-red mist like lava and the pack of ferocious beasts raging within the fog, his nerves tensed to their limits.
He had even seen a monstrous ferocious beast that was the size of an entire hill slowly walk out from the mist, and the ferocious and terrifying aura it emitted caused him to feel suffocated.
However, to his surprise, as long as he followed behind Ji Yu, not only would the thick fog automatically scatter, but even those monstrous beasts would not dare to approach. Along the way, they had actually never encountered a single attack!
After time for incense to burn.
Ji Yu stopped in front of a jet-black stone wall within the abyss.
Chen Xi raised her eyes to look and she saw that various solid patterns were like decorative patterns inscribed on the jet-black stone walls. The patterns were rough as if they were formed naturally, some places were already blurred and unclear, and they carried an aging ancient aura.
“It seems my conclusion is correct. Sure enough, this mountain range was the Baleful Condensation Formation. ”
Ji Yu appraised the patterns on the stone wall for a moment before walking forward, then he swung his sleeves and a wisp of pitch-blue mist swept over and smashed into the stone wall.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
A jet-black stone wall with countless patterns inscribed on it opened from the center to reveal a pitch-black cave. At the same time, an extremely cold cold aura whistled. Everywhere passed, a thick layer of black ice instantly condensed on the ground!
So cold!
Chen Xi could not help but tremble as this ice-cold aura gushed at him and his teeth trembled. He hurriedly circulated his True Essence, and it was only then that he was able to dissolve the ice-cold aura that invaded his body.
After following behind Ji Yu to enter the cave, Chen Xi clearly saw the environment inside.
This place seems to be a very ancient cave with dark blue stone walls that are steep and speckled around the cave. Natural marble looks rough and dull, with no trace of artificial polishing.
Furthermore, in the center of the cave was a pond in the form of an octagonal prism. Eight swords with stinging cold rays were inserted into the eight corners of the pond. A circle of ripples appeared above the pure black-colored milky liquid that slowly flowed within the pond, and a bone-chilling chill of ice spread out from it.
The most interesting of all is the black lotus that blooms completely in the middle of the pond. The lotus had 36 petals that were like black jade and shone with traces of calming energy.
Ji Yu walked around the side of the pond then shook her head and sighed. "There was a sword drawing very bad qi, a very bad lotus condensing qi, and eight retaining bottles to hold extremely dangerous qi. The person who set up this formation was fully prepared, but unfortunately, the quality of all of this was simply too low. Moreover, he did not possess the Spirit Drawing Pearl. Without someone to control the formation, it could only be a waste until now. ”
Chen Xi was completely chaotic and said inwardly, They are treasures used by the supreme talisman formation grandmaster to set up the formation, they are treasures, but why did they become treasures of a lower quality than Senior Ji Yu?
“However, these things can still be used for you. "Ji Yu pondered for a moment then flicked his sleeve. The eight swords on the sides of the pond shouted in unison, then lifted from the ground and turned into eight extremely bright flowing lights as they descended into Ji Yu's palm.
"These eight swords were originally heaven-ranked Magic Treasures, but unfortunately they had already been sealed for too long here and had corroded Netherezim Baleful Qi for countless years. Now, they at most had the strength of a top-tier yellow ranked Magic Treasures. ”
Ji Yu evaluated before throwing the eight swords at Chen Xi, then he once again flicked his sleeve and the black lotus in the middle of the pond was pulled out by his roots and descended into his palm.
“This string is not bad. This is the Heartlotus Icesoul born of heaven and earth. Putting it by your side while cultivating will give you the amazing effect of exterminating your Inner Demons and clearing your mind. ”
As he spoke, Ji Yu stretched out his hand to lightly stroke the black lotus and the extremely ugly strands of Qi disappeared from the lotus, instantly turning it into a snow-white lotus that emitted a cold and refreshing aura. "I've helped you get rid of the terrible qi contained in this lotus, take it!"
Chen Xi glanced at the row of small flying swords in his right palm, then glanced at the Icesoul Heartlotus he had just obtained, and his heart was filled with excitement.
The postnatal Realm Cultivators and Innate Realm cultivators could only use mortal weapons, and the Azurebolt Sword that Chen Xi had used before were high-level mortal weapons.
Only after developing the Violet Palace and establishing his Dao Foundation could he control the Magic Treasure.
Magic Treasures were divided into four ranks, namely yellow rank, profound rank, earth rank and heaven rank. Each rank is further divided into four classes, namely low class, middle class, high class and upper class.
Furthermore, the Magic Treasure above is an Immortal Artifact!
However, to Chen Xi, the Immortal Artifacts were too far away, as practically its existence could only be a coincidence due to luck and not sought after. At this moment, having eight top grade yellow ranked flying swords had made him uncontrollably happy.
Moreover, the Icesoul Heartlotus was extraordinary and outstanding. With that in his possession, not only would he be able to exorcise his inner demons to prevent qi deviations, it could even provide great benefits for his cultivation speed.
“These eight swords corrode Netherezim Baleful Qi for 10,000 years, but eventually fell into my hands. It was also a kind of fate, why don't I call it the Netherezim Sword? ”
Chen Xi had already rushed over to start naming her Treasure Magic, then she frowned as she said inwardly, I am only at the perfection stage of the Innate Realm now, I was worried that I would temporarily be unable to control this Netherezim Sword.
"Chen Xi, the terrible qal within this pond is solid to the point of turning liquid. This is perfect for you to reduce your physical. "Ji Yu's voice sounded from beside the pond.
Chen Xi hurriedly threw the Netherezim Swords and Icesoul Heartlotus into her storage ring, then walked over and asked, "What should I do?"
Ji Yu pointed to the swimming pool. “Jump in and stream the Combat Art of the Body of the Stars of Universe Starslayer. But you have to be careful, even though this extremely bad qi cannot be compared to the extremely bad qi of the stars, it is still the famous Netherezim Baleful Qi which is extremely cold. If you feel unable to hold on, then get out quickly. ”
Chen Xi did not hesitate as she took off her clothes immediately, then walked towards the pond.
As soon as his skin came into contact with the layer of pure black liquid within the pond, the piercing coldness of the bones felt like a piercer as it pierced through his skin before flowing all over his body. Chen Xi's face instantly became a bluish-purple color and his body trembled violently and uncontrollably.
Hu!
Chen Xi did not dare to delay and sat in the pond with a splash. As soon as he did this, he focused his mind and left all intrusive thoughts before quickly spreading the Universe Starslayer Body Forging Arts.
The liquid form of Netherezim Baleful qi within the pond was only enough to cover Chen Xi's neck just to reveal his head. He closed his eyes tightly as a thick layer of black ice instantly condensed on his face. From afar, Chen Xi was like a stone carving sealed with candles.
"This boy is so obedient, he actually didn't ask me why I wanted him to do that …"
Ji Yu took out his wine gourd and took a few gulps, then shook his head and sighed. “It looks like I've taken very good care of him. Too much dependence would cause him to forever be unable to become a true expert. ”
"However, once he advances to the Violet Palace Realm and passes the first level of the Heavenpeak of Trials, I probably won't be able to come out anymore. Mmm, I'll keep taking care of her. Many years ago, Master also kept like this .. ”
His voice grew lower and lower before gradually fading away. Ji Yu seemed to have recalled some past events that she was unable to look back on, and a wisp of grief that was so dense that it could not be removed appeared in her eyes that had undergone many life changes.
It's cold!
The cold ice that pierces the bones!
Chen Xi felt a river of ice flowing between the flesh, blood, and bones all over his body, and the coldness of the ice enveloping from within his body caused him to gradually lose all consciousness.
However, his soul still maintained extreme clarity and calmness as he systematically circulated his mental cultivation method to slowly absorb drop after drop of the terrifying Netherezim Baleful Qi, using this to dampen the skin, bones, flesh, and muscles.
Compared to the pain that the qi brought from the stars to him, this cold feeling caused by Netherezim Baleful Qi was instead much less of a burden for Chen Xi.
Right now, Chen Xi's cultivation in body refinement had already broken through to the Innate Realm long ago. At this moment, continuing to cultivate carefully with the help of Netherezim Baleful Qi caused his cultivation to increase at a noticeable speed.
Three days later .
Waves of cracking sounds from something breaking into small pieces suddenly sounded within the silent cave.
Chen Xi stood inside the pond as the thick layer of black ice condensed on top of her skin shattered into pieces and dripped down like powder. Revealing a formidable body with perfect and masculine lines, like a masterpiece sculpted by the hand of a god and filled with dazzling glitter.
Swooshes!
Chen Xi stretched her muscles and felt the vital energy throughout her body boil, as if she could lift a mountain by raising her hand.
Moreover, many faint black patterns were faintly visible on his spine and seemed to be extremely mysterious.
Ji Yu lay on the rattan chair as her gaze swept over Chen Xi's back and she said indifferently, “Vena shaman marks have appeared on her back. It seemed like his body refinement cultivation had advanced to the perfection stage of the Innate Realm. ”
The perfection stage of the Innate Realm in body refinement!
Chen Xi was stunned speechless. I have reached the perfection stage of the Innate Realm in body refinement within three days?
