Chapter 470
He picked up the key, put it away carefully, and then walked towards the direction of the artifact chamber shown in the picture. Along the way, he saw various ancient murals engraved on the walls, which told the history of the Pantheon and the legendary stories that had happened here.
When he arrived at the door of the secret room, he found that the door was engraved with runes. These runes formed a huge seal, which exuded a powerful forbidden force. Fu Shaoping tried to touch these runes with his spiritual power, but was bounced back by a powerful force. He realized that he had to find a way to crack the rune seal in order to enter the secret room and obtain the artifact.
Fu Shaoping began to study the runes on the door carefully, and he put all the knowledge he had learned about runes into practice. After a long period of thinking and experimentation, he found that there was a delicate balance between the runes. As long as this balance was broken, it would be possible to unlock the seal.
He began to try to adjust his spiritual power, injecting it into the rune at a special frequency. As the spiritual power was injected, the light on the rune began to flicker. Suddenly, the rune seal on the door emitted a strong light and then slowly opened.
Fu Shaoping looked at the slowly opening door of the secret room, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. He stepped into the secret room cautiously, and a strong aura rushed towards him, as if it was the essence accumulated over countless years.
In the secret room, various lights flickered. Fu Shaoping's eyes were quickly attracted by the artifact placed on the central stone platform. It was a sword emitting a faint blue light, with delicate runes engraved on the scabbard and a dazzling blue gem inlaid on the hilt. There seemed to be spiritual fluid flowing in the gem, revealing a mysterious power.
Fu Shaoping slowly approached the stone platform. When he stretched out his hand and was about to touch the scabbard, a blue arc suddenly shot out from the sword and hit his palm. Fu Shaoping quickly withdrew his hand, secretly shocked. He knew that this artifact must have its own spiritual consciousness or protective prohibition.
He paced around the stone platform, his eyes fixed on the sword, thinking about how to break this last obstacle. He remembered that he had seen a similar situation in an ancient book. A powerful artifact would form a spiritual resonance with the surrounding environment. If you want to take it away, you must first break this resonance.
Fu Shaoping began to carefully observe the layout of the secret room. He found some shallow lines engraved on the floor of the secret room. These lines extended to the surrounding of the stone platform, which seemed to be a path for the conduction of spiritual power. He squatted down and felt along the lines with his fingers, while releasing his spiritual power to perceive the mystery.
After some investigation, Fu Shaoping found that these lines formed a small spiritual power circulation formation. He speculated that this formation was the key to maintaining the resonance of the spiritual power between the artifact and the secret room. So he decided to try to start from the weak point of the formation.
Fu Shaoping mobilized his spiritual power, condensed it into a sharp spiritual thorn, and then carefully stabbed it towards the weak point of the formation he judged. When the spiritual thorn touched the pattern of the formation, a strong spiritual power fluctuation broke out, and Fu Shaoping was shocked and took a few steps back. But he did not give up, and after adjusting the output intensity of his spiritual power, he launched another attack.
This time, he successfully tore a small hole in the formation. With the appearance of this small hole, the spiritual energy in the secret room began to become disordered. The light on the sword also flickered more violently, as if resisting this change.
Fu Shaoping took advantage of the victory and continued to expand the gap. His spiritual power was consumed quickly, but he gritted his teeth and persisted. Finally, with a slight "click", the entire spiritual power circulation formation was completely destroyed by him.
The light on the sword suddenly dimmed, and Fu Shaoping knew the time had come. He walked to the stone platform again and slowly grasped the hilt of the sword. A cool feeling spread through his arm and his whole body. He could feel that the spiritual consciousness in the sword was having a subtle communication with his soul.
At the moment when Fu Shaoping grasped the sword, a melodious sword sound suddenly rang out in the secret room. Then, sword marks appeared on the wall of the secret room, and these sword marks formed a series of sword moves. Fu Shaoping's heart moved, and he realized that this might be the peerless sword move contained in this artifact.
He let go of all distracting thoughts and focused on the sword moves diagram on the wall. The first move diagram lit up, and Fu Shaoping saw that the starting position of the sword move was extremely strange, which was very different from the sword techniques he had learned before. He began to imitate the posture in the diagram, and at the same time used his spiritual power to guide the movement of the sword.
As he moved, the sword seemed to come alive, wielding nimbly in his hand. After mastering the first move, the diagram for the second move immediately lit up. The difficulty of this move increased suddenly, requiring the spiritual power to be changed in a very short time, and the sword's attack angle also became very tricky.
Fu Shaoping practiced the second move over and over again, his clothes soaked with sweat. He failed again and again, but started over again and again. After countless attempts, he finally succeeded in performing the second move.
At this time, some puppets formed by spiritual power appeared in the secret room, holding swords and attacking Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping knew that this was a practical test to test his mastery of sword moves.
He clenched the sword in his hand, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. When the first puppet approached, he used the first move he had just learned. The sword shadow flashed, and the puppet's weapon was easily picked up. Then, more puppets came up, and Fu Shaoping was not in a hurry. He flexibly used the first and second moves and shuttled freely among the puppets.
However, the number of puppets increased, and Fu Shaoping gradually felt a little tired. He knew that he had to master more sword moves as soon as possible to deal with them. So, while resisting the attacks of the puppets, he also focused part of his attention on the sword moves he had not yet learned on the wall.
The third move diagram lit up. This move needed to use the surrounding spiritual power to enhance the power of the sword move. Fu Shaoping dodged the puppet's attack while trying to guide the surrounding spiritual power according to the instructions of the diagram. At the beginning, he always failed, either because of the wrong spiritual power guidance or because the puppet found a flaw and attacked.
But under the pressure of life and death, Fu Shaoping's potential was constantly stimulated. He finally succeeded in channeling the surrounding spiritual power into his sword moves and performed a powerful third move. As soon as this move was performed, a large number of the surrounding puppets were instantly repelled.
As he mastered the third move, Fu Shaoping began to take the initiative. He shuttled through the puppets like a blue lightning, and each swing of the sword could destroy several puppets. Soon, all the puppets in the secret room were destroyed by him.
At this time, the top of the secret room slowly opened, and a strong light shot in. Fu Shaoping looked up and saw that there seemed to be a passage leading to a higher level of space in the light. He knew that this artifact brought him not only powerful power, but also an opportunity to reach a higher level.
He clenched the sword in his hand and flew towards the light without hesitation. The moment he entered the light channel, he felt his body being wrapped by a powerful force, constantly rising towards an unknown place.
During the ascension process, Fu Shaoping felt that his spiritual power was constantly being compressed and purified. His soul also seemed to be undergoing a baptism, becoming more tenacious and pure.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Shaoping finally came out of the light channel. He found himself in a fairyland shrouded in mist. The mountains here were towering into the clouds, and all kinds of rare spiritual plants grew on the mountains. Spiritual springs flowed down from the mountains, making pleasant sounds. Not far away, Fu Shaoping saw a magnificent palace. The gate of the palace was closed, and a powerful forbidden force emanated from the surroundings. He approached the palace and found a line of words engraved on the gate: "If you want to enter this palace, break the ban first."
Fu Shaoping began to study the restriction on the gate. He found that the restriction was made up of a variety of spiritual powers of different attributes, including the sharpness of gold spiritual power, the vitality of wood spiritual power, the flexibility of water spiritual power, the heat of fire spiritual power and the heaviness of earth spiritual power.
He tried to use his spiritual power to touch the restriction, trying to find the weak link. However, every touch would trigger the restriction to counterattack. Fu Shaoping's body was hit several times by the power of the restriction and suffered some minor injuries.
But he did not retreat, but calmed down and carefully analyzed the spiritual power fluctuation pattern of the restriction. He found that at every hour of the hour, the spiritual power fluctuation of this restriction would be disordered for a moment.
Fu Shaoping decided to wait for this opportunity. He found a place to sit down, and while recuperating from his injuries, he paid close attention to the changes in the restriction. Finally, when the hour arrived, the spiritual power fluctuations of the restriction became disordered.
Fu Shaoping immediately stood up, mobilized all his spiritual power, and rushed towards the weak point of the restriction. The sword in his hand also released powerful spiritual power, combining with his own spiritual power.
After a burst of dazzling light and a violent collision of spiritual power, the restriction was successfully broken. The palace door slowly opened, and a strong spiritual energy rushed in. Fu Shaoping walked into the palace and found that it was filled with various precious treasures and secret books.
In the center of the palace, there is a huge stone platform, on which is placed a spiritual bead emitting colorful light. Fu Shaoping approached the stone platform and felt the powerful power emanating from the spiritual bead:
“This is a five-colored bead!”
In the ancient times, when heaven and earth were first separated, spiritual energy ran rampant in the world.
In a mysterious place called Linghuan Valley, it is the center of the vortex where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converge. There are five spiritual springs in the valley, each containing the ultimate spiritual energy of the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The spiritual energy of these five spiritual springs intertwined and merged in the Spiritual Valley. As time passed, this fusion became stronger and stronger. During a rare spiritual tide of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of the five spiritual springs erupted at the same time and gathered into a colorful spiritual energy ball in the air. This spiritual energy ball was constantly compressed and condensed under the push of the tide, and finally formed a crystal clear five-colored bead.
"This is a spiritual item that helps one break through to the God Transformation stage. It is also a rare treasure for a cultivator who has reached the God Transformation stage."
Fu Shaoping was very surprised.
When Fu Shaoping was about to touch the Five Spirit Pearls, a strong wave of spiritual power suddenly surged from around the stone platform.
In the blink of an eye, a Yuanying puppet appeared in front of him. This Yuanying puppet exuded a cold light, and its eyes flashed with a strange blue light, as if hiding endless power.
As soon as the Yuanying puppet appeared, it used its first magical power - "Flame Sun Explosion". It waved its hands, and the surrounding spiritual energy was instantly ignited, turning into huge fireballs that roared towards Fu Shaoping. Wherever the fireballs passed, the air was scorched and twisted.
Fu Shaoping did not dare to delay and quickly used the "Flying Demon Subduing Body Protection". A layer of light golden light appeared around his body, and those fireballs hit the shield, splashing brilliant sparks.
Immediately afterwards, the Nascent Soul Puppet activated its second magical power, “Phantom Trace”.
In an instant, its figure split into dozens in front of Fu Shaoping's eyes. These phantoms spun around Fu Shaoping at a very fast speed, making people dizzy. At the same time, it spit out a fifth-level spiritual treasure from its mouth - the "Spiritual Wind Banner". As soon as the Spiritual Wind Banner came out, a strong wind suddenly blew around, and the wind blades mixed in the phantoms and attacked Fu Shaoping together.
Fu Shaoping immediately summoned the "Heaven Prison Ice Seal". Ice-blue rays of light shot out from his hands. Wherever they went, the wind blades were frozen and part of the phantom was also frozen.
However, the attack of the Yuanying puppet did not stop, and it used its third magical power, "Ten Thousand Trees Prison". Countless thick vines suddenly stretched out from the ground, and these vines were covered with sharp thorns. They quickly intertwined together to form a huge cage, trapping Fu Shaoping in it. The vines continued to tighten, trying to strangle Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping took a deep breath and summoned the "Twelve Thunder Swords". Under the control of his spiritual power, these swords formed the Taiyi Sword Formation. The sword formation emitted a dazzling lightning, and accompanied by a roar, the sword formation began to rotate at high speed, cutting off the surrounding vines one after another.
Fu Shaoping knew very well that he could not always be on the passive defensive, so he flashed and used his magical power of "shrinking the earth into an inch" and instantly appeared behind the Nascent Soul puppet.
He quickly formed seals with both hands, and a huge "Daluo Diamond Seal" smashed towards the Nascent Soul Puppet. This Daluo Diamond Seal exuded a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, pressing down on the puppet like a small mountain. The Nascent Soul Puppet sensed the crisis and hurriedly used the fifth-level spiritual treasure "Spiritual Wind Banner" to resist. The two collided with each other, making a loud noise that shook the earth, and the surrounding palaces were shaken slightly.
Seeing that the battle with the Yuanying puppet was in a stalemate, Fu Shaoping made up his mind and decided to sacrifice his own natal spirit seal. He quickly formed seals with both hands and muttered something. A faint light flew out of his body. That was his natal spirit seal. The natal spirit seal quickly grew larger in the air, emitting Fu Shaoping's unique spiritual energy.
At the same time, Fu Shaoping mobilized all his spiritual power and continuously injected it into his natal spirit seal. After receiving the infusion of powerful spiritual power, the natal spirit seal began to undergo wonderful changes. Runes gradually emerged around it, and these runes flashed with mysterious light, intertwining and merging with each other. (End of this chapter)
