Chapter 519
After cleaning up the corpse of the Ghost King, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at the jade box in their hands, their hearts filled with joy and anticipation. This battle not only allowed them to defeat a powerful enemy, but also obtained precious treasures. They knew that these treasures would bring great help to their cultivation path and would also bring new hope to the future of the family.
They carefully put away the jade box and smiled at each other.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan carried the jade box containing the corpse of the Ghost King, their hearts filled with joy after victory and expectations for the future. However, they knew that it was not over yet. In order to completely eliminate the hidden dangers and explore more possible treasures and secrets, they decided to look for the Ghost King's lair.
The two stood in the center of the ancient battlefield, looking around, trying to find some clues about the ghost king's lair from this mysterious land. Fu Shaoping frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. He recalled the details of the battle with the ghost king, trying to find a clue from the ghost king's magical powers and behavioral patterns.
"When the ghost king appeared, it emerged from the ground. Perhaps its lair is deep underground." Fu Shaoping said slowly, with a determined light in his eyes. Nangong Wan nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. We might as well start our search from here."
After that, the two began to use their spiritual power to sense the surrounding underground space. Fu Shaoping performed the "Spiritual Sense Probing Technique". His spiritual sense was like an invisible tentacle, slowly going deep into the ground. Every inch of land was under his spiritual sense exploration. He carefully felt the spiritual power fluctuations and spatial structure underground. Nangong Wan performed the "Mysterious Light Tracking Array" on the side. The array released a series of mysterious lights, illuminating the surrounding ground, and could also respond to any abnormal conditions that might exist underground.
As the investigation deepened, Fu Shaoping's spiritual consciousness suddenly detected a faint but familiar breath. This breath was very similar to the breath of the Ghost King. He was delighted and hurriedly continued to explore in the direction of this breath. Nangong Wan's Xuanguang Tracking Formation also responded at this time. The Xuanguang in the formation flickered more violently, as if guiding the direction they were going.
Following the guidance of the aura and the formation, the two came to a remote corner of the ancient battlefield. The ground here looked normal and no different from the surrounding land. However, Fu Shaoping could clearly feel that under this seemingly ordinary ground, there was a powerful force hidden.
Fu Shaoping squatted down, gently touched the ground with both hands, and then slowly injected spiritual power. The ground trembled slightly under the effect of spiritual power, and a hidden portal gradually appeared. This portal exuded a dark light, surrounded by strange runes. A strong breath surged out of the portal, causing Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan's faces to change slightly.
"It seems that this is the lair of the ghost king." Fu Shaoping stood up, took a deep breath, and revealed a trace of caution in his eyes. Nangong Wan also clenched his weapon and prepared for battle.
The two carefully stepped into the door, and the scene in front of them shocked them. This was a huge underground cave, filled with black mist and faintly flickering with strange light. The walls were engraved with various mysterious runes and patterns, which seemed to tell the story of the Ghost King.
In the center of the cave, there was a huge stone platform. On the stone platform were placed various treasures and magic weapons, emitting powerful spiritual fluctuations. Fu Shaoping's eyes were attracted by one of the treasures, which was an ancient book emitting a faint light. He could feel that this ancient book contained powerful magical powers and cultivation methods, which would be of great help to their cultivation.
However, just as they were about to approach the stone platform, a group of black ghosts suddenly emerged from the surroundings. These ghosts exuded powerful netherworld power, with blood-red light flashing in their eyes, and rushed towards Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan.
Fu Shaoping was startled, and he quickly used the "Star Scimitar". The starlight shot out from the scimitar, facing the ghost's attack. Nangong Wan used the "Eight Trigrams Mysterious Spirit Formation" to cover them in the formation and resist the ghost's attack.
During the fierce battle, Fu Shaoping discovered that these ghosts seemed to be controlled by some force, pouring out from all corners of the cave. He realized that he must find the source of controlling the ghosts in order to completely solve the crisis at hand.
While fighting the ghost, Fu Shaoping used his spiritual sense to explore the depths of the cave. Finally, he found a mysterious altar hidden in the darkness. A black flame was burning on the altar, and a black figure was faintly emerging from the flame.
"This should be the source of the ghost control." Fu Shaoping shouted to Nangong Wan. Nangong Wan nodded, and the two decided to join forces to attack this mysterious altar.
Fu Shaoping used the "Twelve Thunder Swords Forming Taiyi Sword Formation", which flashed with lightning and shot towards the altar. Nangong Wan used the "Wanxiang Blessing Magical Power" to gather various powers together and integrate them into the Taiyi Sword Formation, enhancing the power of the sword formation.
Under the joint attack of the two, the mysterious altar was finally destroyed. The black flames were extinguished instantly, and the ghosts also dissipated. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief, successfully resolving the crisis at hand.
They walked to the stone platform and carefully examined the treasures and magic weapons on it. In addition to the ancient book, they also found some precious materials and elixirs. These treasures were of great value to their cultivation and the development of their family.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were preparing to leave the ghost king's lair with great joy after their fruitful harvest. Just as they were about to leave the cave, Fu Shaoping's eyes were suddenly attracted by a strange light in the corner.
"What is that?" Fu Shaoping said softly, and his footsteps involuntarily walked towards the light. Nangong Wan also noticed something unusual and hurriedly followed.
When they approached the source of the light, they found that it was a teleportation array hidden in the shadows. The teleportation array was circular, composed of various mysterious runes and glittering crystals. A soft light emanated from the center of the array, as if an invisible force was attracting them.
"This is actually a teleportation array!" Nangong Wan said in surprise, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his eyes. Fu Shaoping squatted down and carefully observed the runes and structure of the teleportation array. He found that these runes were similar to some ancient arrays he was familiar with, but seemed to contain more profound mysteries.
"We don't know where this teleportation array leads to. Should we try it?" Fu Shaoping looked up at Nangong Wan, his eyes flickering with the desire to explore. Nangong Wan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "The origin of this teleportation array is unknown. It may be dangerous to use it rashly. But if we miss this opportunity, we may regret it."
The two looked at each other and saw firm determination in each other's eyes. They decided to explore the teleportation array first and learn as much as possible about its situation before making a decision.
Fu Shaoping carefully stretched out his hand and injected a trace of spiritual power into the teleportation array. The spiritual power flowed along the trajectory of the runes, and the teleportation array trembled slightly, and the light became brighter. At the same time, some vague information emerged in Fu Shaoping's mind, which seemed to be about the destination of the teleportation array and some potential dangers.
"I feel that this teleportation array seems to lead to a mysterious relic, where more powerful treasures and cultivation resources may be hidden. But at the same time, there are also various powerful traps and guardian beasts." Fu Shaoping told Nangong Wan the information he felt.
After hearing this, Nangong Wan's face became more solemn. He knew very well that this was a choice full of challenges and opportunities. If they could successfully cross the teleportation array and reach the mysterious ruins, they might be able to gain huge rewards and further enhance their strength. But if they encounter danger, they may also be in a desperate situation. "No matter what, we have come this far and cannot give up easily." Nangong Wan clenched his fists, his eyes revealing a firm belief. Fu Shaoping nodded, and the two decided to try to activate the teleportation array after making full preparations.
They set up some defensive formations around the teleportation array to prevent attacks during the teleportation process. At the same time, they also took some pills to restore spiritual power and enhance strength to keep themselves in the best condition.
After everything was ready, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan slowly walked into the center of the teleportation array. As they stepped in, the light of the teleportation array instantly became dazzling, and a powerful force enveloped them.
With a "whoosh", their figures disappeared in the light, leaving only the flickering light of the teleportation array slowly dissipating in the cave.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan felt the light around them gradually weaken, and they appeared in a strange place. This was an ancient and mysterious relic, with all kinds of ancient runes and patterns engraved on the surrounding walls, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"It seems that we have successfully passed through the teleportation array." Fu Shaoping said softly, his heart full of curiosity about the unknown and the desire to explore. Nangong Wan also took a deep breath, scanning the surrounding environment, vigilantly guarding against possible dangers.
They walked forward cautiously and began to explore this mysterious ruins. In the ruins, they encountered various traps and attacks from guardian beasts. But with their strength and tacit cooperation, they were able to overcome dangers time and time again.
As they explored deeper, they found many precious treasures and cultivation resources. There were powerful magic weapons, rare materials, and some ancient cultivation methods. These gains made them feel extremely excited and made them more determined to continue exploring.
Deep in the ruins, they found a huge palace. The palace's door was closed, emitting a powerful spiritual power fluctuation. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other and saw the determination to challenge in each other's eyes.
They joined forces to display their powerful magical powers and attacked the palace gate. After a fierce battle, the gate finally slowly opened. The moment they stepped into the palace, a powerful force rushed towards them, causing their bodies to tremble slightly.
In the center of the palace stood a huge stone platform, on which was placed a crystal emitting dazzling light. The crystal contained endless spiritual power, as if it was the core of the entire ruins.
"Is this the core treasure of the ruins?" Fu Shaoping exclaimed. Nangong Wan nodded, and the two slowly walked towards the stone platform.
Just as they were about to touch the crystal, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared, emitting a powerful aura, with majesty and vigilance in his eyes.
"Who are you? Why did you break in here?" the mysterious figure asked coldly.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other and realized that they were facing a new challenge.
"We are here to explore the truth and pursue a higher level of cultivation." Fu Shaoping said calmly.
The mysterious figure frowned slightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly said: "If you want to get this crystal, you must pass my test."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan accepted the test without hesitation. A thrilling battle unfolded in the palace, and they used all their skills to engage in a fierce confrontation with the mysterious figure.
After a hard fight, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan finally defeated the mysterious figure with their tenacious perseverance and tacit cooperation. The mysterious figure nodded slightly and smiled approvingly.
"Now that you have passed the test, this crystal belongs to you. I hope you can use it to benefit all people." After the mysterious figure finished speaking, he gradually disappeared in the light.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief. They successfully obtained the core treasure of the ruins. With a full harvest, they set foot on the teleportation array again, ready to return to their own world.
Suddenly, a strong spiritual power fluctuation came from a distance, the ground began to shake violently, and the surrounding trees fell one after another. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan's faces suddenly became solemn. They knew that a fierce battle was about to come.
As the spiritual power wave approached, a huge figure appeared in front of them. It was a demon king who was several feet tall, exuding a strong demonic aura, and a pair of blood-red eyes that revealed endless murderous light. Next to the demon king, there was another figure, the mysterious ghost king.
The Ghost King was dressed in a black robe, with a stern face and a sinister aura. In his hand, he held an acquired spiritual treasure called the "Ghost Banner of the Netherworld", which emitted a dark light that seemed to be able to devour everything.
The battle broke out instantly, and the Ghost King was the first to display his magical powers. He waved his hands, and the Nether Ghost Banner released five strange lights, which turned into five magical powers and attacked Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan.
The first magical power is "Ghost Shadow".
Countless black ghosts emerged from the Nether Ghost Banner. These ghosts were extremely fast and surrounded Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan in an instant. Each ghost contained powerful spiritual power. Once hit, they would fall into a short coma. (End of this chapter)
