Chapter 477
Master Xuanqing looked at the vortex, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "The energy contained in this vortex is too strong. If we force our way in, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger."
Fu Shaoping looked at the Spirit Realm Star Guiding Plate in his hand and had an idea: "I'll try using the Spirit Realm Star Guiding Plate to see if I can find the weak point of this vortex." After that, he injected a large amount of spiritual power into the Star Guiding Plate. The star map on the Star Guiding Plate flashed rapidly, and rays of light shot towards the vortex.
When the light touched the vortex, the light of the vortex flickered slightly, and Fu Shaoping's eyes lit up: "Found it, it's right there!" He pointed to a corner of the vortex.
Without saying anything, True Lord Xuesha rushed in that direction first. The Blood Demon Armor on his body was fully operational, turning into a beam of blood light and rushing towards the weak point of the vortex.
True Lord Xuanqing followed closely behind, and the Qiankun Lingyu Hairpin in his hand released a spiritual power shield, protecting himself as he moved forward in that direction.
Fu Shaoping held the Netherworld Ghost Banner in his hand and used the eerie aura emitted by the banner to interfere with the surrounding energy fluctuations, and then rushed towards the vortex.
When the three of them approached the weak point of the vortex, the energy strangling force was still very strong. Blood Demon True Lord roared, and raised his spiritual power to the limit. The magic pattern on the Blood Demon Armor burst out with a strong light, and forcibly tore a hole.
Zhenjun Xuanqing took the opportunity to throw out the Qiankun Ling Jade Hairpin, which turned into a huge white lightsaber and inserted into the opening, temporarily opening up a space for passage.
Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth, put away the Netherworld Ghost Banner, held the Spirit World Star-Guiding Plate in front of him, and with the help of the Star-Guiding Plate's power, he rushed towards the opening.
With the combined efforts of the three, the weak spot of the vortex was finally torn open temporarily, and True Lord Xuesha, True Lord Xuanqing and Fu Shaoping rushed in one after another. The scene inside the vortex was completely different from the outside world. In the chaos, stars could be vaguely seen twinkling, as if in another world.
True Lord Xuesha felt the fluctuation of the surrounding energy and frowned, saying, "The energy here is extremely unstable. We must find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise once the vortex closes again, we may be trapped here."
Master Xuanqing nodded, and the Qiankun Lingyu Hairpin in his hand once again released spiritual power, trying to stabilize the energy fluctuations around him: "I will try my best to maintain stability here, you guys look for any clues."
Fu Shaoping continued to use the Spiritual World Star Guide Disk, trying to find the exit of the vortex. The star map on the Star Guide Disk flickered again, pointing in a direction: "Over there, there seems to be a sign of an exit."
The three of them immediately headed in that direction. As they went deeper, the energy fluctuations inside the vortex became more and more intense. The Blood Demon Armor of True Lord Xuesha kept making humming sounds, and it was obviously under tremendous pressure.
At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the vortex, as if some huge existence was awakening. The three of them felt nervous and quickened their pace.
Suddenly, a huge wave of energy came from the front, and Xuanqing Zhenjun's Qiankun Lingyu Hairpin was instantly blown away, and he himself was also shocked back several steps. Xuesha Zhenjun and Fu Shaoping were also almost unstable by the impact of this force.
"Not good, there seems to be some powerful existence in this vortex!" Xuanqing Zhenjun's face was solemn, "We must find an exit as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and persisted. The Spiritual World Star Guide Plate in his hand continued to emit light, guiding the direction of progress. The Blood Demon True Lord used all his strength to operate the Blood Demon Armor to resist the surrounding energy impact.
Finally, with the combined efforts of the three, they saw a ray of light ahead, which was the exit of the vortex. The three rushed over without hesitation, and with a violent vibration, they finally got out of the vortex.
As soon as True Lord Xuesha, True Lord Xuanqing and Fu Shaoping escaped from the whirlpool, they were sucked into a small cave in the void.
In this small cave, the space seemed to be divided by countless mirror fragments, and each fragment reflected a different scene, some were hells with blazing fire, some were fairylands with blooming flowers, and some were eerie and terrifying ghost caves. The three were somewhat at a loss for what to do with this strange scene.
Fu Shaoping approached a piece of debris curiously, wanting to take a closer look at the scene inside, but found that an invisible force gently pushed him away. Xuanqing Zhenjun tried to touch the fragments with his spiritual power, and as soon as the spiritual power came into contact, it was dispersed into countless tiny rays of light and merged into the surrounding space.
True Lord Xuesha frowned. He found that the ground under his feet was also made up of these fragments, and these fragments seemed to be moving slowly, changing the layout of the small cave.
When True Lord Xuesha, True Lord Xuanqing and Fu Shaoping found themselves trapped in this small cave in the void, they felt uneasy.
In this small cave, fragments were still floating around, emitting a cold light. Fu Shaoping unwillingly took out the spiritual world star disk again, trying to find clues to the exit, but the star map on the star disk was just flashing disorderly, without any direction.
True Lord Xuesha tried to use violence. He raised his spiritual power to the extreme and punched a seemingly weak space. The powerful spiritual power rushed over, but only made the fragments shake slightly, and there was no sign of the space breaking at all.
Xuanqing Zhenjun calmed down and carefully observed the fragments around him. He found that although these fragments seemed to be in disarray, they actually had some subtle connections. The patterns on some fragments could fit with other fragments, just like a puzzle. So the three of them began to try to collect the fragments that could fit with each other, hoping to find some secrets about this small cave or a way to open the exit.
They collected a lot of fragments, and Xuanqing Zhenjun tried to piece them together according to the patterns. When he pieced together a part, the fragments suddenly released a faint light, and there seemed to be some vague images flashing in the light. The image was an ancient ritual, and some monks in strange costumes were performing some kind of space sealing spell.
Fu Shaoping speculated: "Could it be that this small cave was sealed by humans, so we can't find the exit?" Blood Evil Master frowned and said: "If so, how can we unlock this seal?"
Xuanqing Zhenjun continued to piece together the fragments. As more and more fragments were pieced together, the light released became stronger and stronger, and the image became clearer. They saw that the monks put a special magic weapon into the space at the end of the seal.
Fu Shaoping suddenly thought: "Could this magic weapon be the key to unlocking the seal of this small cave?" So they began to look for that special magic weapon in this small cave.
During the search, they found that some fragments would have a special reaction to spiritual power. When Fu Shaoping approached a fragment emitting blue light, his spiritual power involuntarily flowed towards the fragment. They realized that these fragments might have been set with some kind of restriction to hide the magic weapon.
Fu Shaoping took a deep breath. As a sixth-level formation master, he had unique experience in breaking restrictions. He slowly squatted down, his eyes fixed on the fragment emitting blue light. He first carefully extended a little of his spiritual power, like a cautious little snake, slowly approaching the restrictions around the fragment.
The restriction seemed to sense the invasion of spiritual power, and instantly flashed a layer of faint blue light, like a vigilant guardian issuing a warning. Fu Shaoping frowned slightly, but did not retreat. He increased the output of spiritual power and quickly formed seals with both hands. Complex seals flew out of his hands, like agile butterflies dancing around the fragments.
As the number of seals increased, beads of sweat began to appear on Fu Shaoping's forehead. The power of the restriction was very strong, constantly resisting his spiritual power and seals. Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth, mobilized all his spiritual power, and chanted a low spell. At this time, his spiritual power rushed towards the restriction like a surging tide.
Under the impact of Fu Shaoping's powerful spiritual power, the restriction began to show cracks, just like a solid mirror being knocked into tiny cracks. Seeing this, Fu Shaoping did not dare to relax at all. He accelerated the speed of forming the seal and injected more spiritual power into it.
"Crack!" A crisp sound was heard, and the restriction was finally completely broken. The fragments scattered like fireworks, revealing the innate spiritual treasure hidden in it.
As soon as the innate spiritual treasure appeared, it emitted a dazzling light, which contained a strong and pure power. True Lord Xuesha widened his eyes, his eyes were full of greed and surprise, he couldn't help but take a step forward, muttering: "Innate spiritual treasure, it's actually an innate spiritual treasure!"
Xuanqing Zhenjun was amazed, his eyes were full of awe, his hands unconsciously clasped together in salute, and said: "This innate spiritual treasure has appeared in the world, it must be a great opportunity."
Fu Shaoping wiped the sweat from his forehead, a gratified smile appeared on his face. He looked at the innate spiritual treasure with curiosity and excitement in his eyes, and said: "We finally found it. This may be the key to unlocking the seal of the small cave."
Fu Shaoping held the innate spiritual treasure with both hands, which exuded a powerful aura, and slowly walked towards the area that seemed to have special significance. True Lord Xuesha and True Lord Xuanqing followed closely behind him, staring at the spiritual treasure in his hands without blinking, with both expectation and a little nervousness in their hearts.
After Fu Shaoping stood still, he took a deep breath and carefully placed the innate spiritual treasure in the designated position according to the similar situation he had seen in the video before. In an instant, the whole space flashed with a dazzling light, which spread rapidly like a surging wave, covering everything around.
The greed on Master Xuesha's face instantly turned into fear, and he roared, "What's going on?" He tried to rush towards the innate spiritual treasure and take it out, but a powerful force bounced him back.
Master Xuanqing's face turned pale, and he said anxiously: "We seem to have made a mistake. This is not the exit, but the mechanism that triggers the complete closure of this space." The Qiankun Lingyu Hairpin in his hand released spiritual power again, trying to resist the force that closed the space, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and it was of no use at all.
Fu Shaoping's eyes widened with disbelief, his body trembling slightly with nervousness and regret, and he muttered to himself: "No, it shouldn't be like this..." He tried to use the methods of a formation master again, trying to find the weak point of this space to prevent it from closing, but he found that as the space closed, his spiritual power seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and he was unable to cast any effective spells.
The mirror fragments around them began to merge together quickly, and the different scenes - the blazing hell, the flourishing fairyland, the eerie ghost cave, all gradually blurred in the light. The three people could feel the space around them shrinking rapidly, and a strong sense of oppression came over them, and they seemed to be in a desperate situation.
Under the powerful feeling of oppression, the space shrank rapidly. True Lord Xuesha and True Lord Xuanqing knew that they were powerless to turn the situation around.
The Blood Demon Armor on the Blood Demon True Lord began to crack under the pressure of space, and the fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by a kind of determination. He shouted to Fu Shaoping: "Brother Fu, today is probably the day we die. I only regret that I can't go further on the path of cultivating immortals." After that, he poured all his remaining spiritual power into the Blood Demon Armor, trying to make a final struggle. However, the power of space was too strong, and the Blood Demon Armor was instantly shattered. The Blood Demon True Lord was directly crushed by that power, and even his soul could not escape, dissipating in the space that was about to close.
Master Xuanqing held the Qiankun Spirit Jade Hairpin in his hand, muttering something, trying to use the last of his spiritual power to maintain a small shield. He looked at Fu Shaoping with a trace of regret in his eyes: "Friend Fu, we made a mistake this time. The secret of this small cave is far from being easily deciphered by us." As the space further shrank, the Qiankun Spirit Jade Hairpin made a whine, then broke into several pieces, and Master Xuanqing's shield was also shattered. He was deformed by the force of space, and finally disappeared.
Fu Shaoping watched his two companions die in front of him, his heart filled with guilt and regret. His eyes were red, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must find a way to escape from this desperate situation and avenge his dead companions. However, as the space became smaller and smaller, he could feel that his vitality was also fading away bit by bit. He held the Spirit World Guide Star Plate tightly in his hand. Although it was useless at this time, it was his last bit of comfort. At the moment when the space was about to close completely.
Suddenly, Fu Shaoping had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that when he was breaking the restriction, a trace of spiritual power seemed to penetrate into the depths of this small cave. He held on to the last glimmer of hope, concentrated his mind, and tried to find the trace of that trace of spiritual power, hoping to find a glimmer of life. Just when the space was about to swallow him up completely, he followed the connection of that trace of spiritual power and found an extremely small space gap. Fu Shaoping did not hesitate to inject his soul power into it, trying to open the gap. This was his last struggle. He didn't know if he could succeed, but he didn't want to give up.
