Chapter 550
"Shao Ping, this place is so eerie, and it feels like there are dangers everywhere." Nangong Wan tightened the sword in her hand, looked alert, and said softly to Fu Shao Ping. Her eyes were shining with a smart light, with both worry about the unknown and expectation of exploration.
Fu Shaoping nodded slightly, his eyes sharp as he glanced around vigilantly: "Well, this relic is full of restrictions, and the treasures must be extraordinary. We must be extra careful. Every step may hide a fatal trap." He was tall and straight, his black robe fluttering in the wind, and his resolute face revealed his fearless determination.
In a hidden corner of the ruins, they found a treasure chest emitting a faint light. The treasure chest was engraved with complex runes, which shone with a mysterious luster, like a flowing galaxy. The lines of these runes twisted and intertwined, forming a series of strange patterns, some of which were like a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring, with flames rising around it; some were like a giant dragon winding and circling, majestic and imposing. Each rune contained a powerful forbidden power, as if telling the vicissitudes and mystery of ancient times.
Fu Shaoping squatted down, carefully examining the rune, frowning, lost in thought. His fingers gently touched the rune, feeling the residual spiritual power fluctuations on it, trying to find clues to crack it. Nangong Wan was also nearby, his eyes moving back and forth between the rune and the treasure chest, trying to search for relevant information from the ancient books in his memory.
"Shao Ping, I have never seen runes so complex. They seem to be a fusion of multiple ancient rune systems." Nangong Wan said solemnly, with a hint of anxiety in her voice. After all, the runes in front of her were beyond her cognition.
Fu Shaoping gently stroked the rune, his eyes focused: "Wan'er, although this rune is complicated, it must have its own rules. Look, the flashing frequency of these runes seems to have a certain rhythm." His eyes revealed determination and confidence, and he firmly believed that he could find a way to crack it.
After a lot of hard work, Fu Shaoping finally found the flaw in the rune. It turned out that the light of the rune was subtly related to the orbit of the ancient stars. He touched the runes in the order of the star orbits, and the light of the runes gradually dimmed, and the restrictions on the treasure chest loosened.
"Done!" Fu Shaoping shouted excitedly, and together with Nangong Wan, he worked hard to open the treasure chest.
The treasure chest glowed brightly, and several pills emitting rich spiritual energy appeared before their eyes. These pills were round and full, with colorful light flowing on the surface, and spiritual energy overflowing. Some pills were surrounded by wisps of flames, as if they contained endless heat; others emitted soft blue light, revealing a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
"The quality of these pills is extremely high, they must be extraordinary." Nangong Wan said in surprise, her eyes full of joy and greed. She knew very well that these pills would be of great help to their cultivation and would allow them to achieve a qualitative leap in their strength.
Fu Shaoping picked up a pill and observed it carefully: "This pill can improve the level of cultivation. After taking it, our strength will definitely be improved. And this one can heal serious injuries and save lives at critical moments." His heart was also full of excitement, but he also maintained a trace of calm, knowing that in these ruins, danger could come at any time.
In addition to the elixir, they also found some strange magic weapon fragments in the ruins. These fragments were of different shapes, some were like sharp blades, emitting cold light; some were like broken shields, with mysterious patterns engraved on the surface, still containing powerful power.
Fu Shaoping picked up a piece of debris and felt the surging spiritual power in it: "Wan'er, these fragments may be the remains of some ancient magic weapon. It is said that the ancient magic weapon is extremely powerful. If we can collect them all and repair them, we will have a powerful helper in the world of cultivation."
Nangong Wan carefully put away the fragments, his eyes full of anticipation: "I hope that one day we can unlock their secrets and restore the glory of the magic weapon."
As they explored further, they came to the core area of the ruins. There was a thick layer of fog, with faint light flickering in the fog, revealing a mysterious and powerful atmosphere. A huge statue stood in the center, depicting an immortal dressed in ancient clothes. The immortal had a stern face and deep eyes, as if overlooking everything in the world. The immortal held a sword in his hand that emitted a mysterious light, and strange runes flowed on the sword. The light of the runes intertwined with the surrounding fog, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan approached the statue and felt the powerful force contained in the sword. This force was like a surging wave, impacting their minds and making their heartbeats speed up involuntarily.
"The power of this sword is too strong. If we take it rashly, it might be dangerous." Nangong Wan said with some concern. Her face turned slightly pale and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.
Fu Shaoping took a deep breath and suppressed his inner tension: "Wan'er, this sword must be an extraordinary thing. If we can get it, it will be of great help to improve our strength. We just need to be careful." His eyes revealed a firm determination. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, he must get the sword.
Just as they were about to take the sword, suddenly, three figures slowly emerged from the mist. The three figures gradually became clearer, and they turned out to be three guardian puppets in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. The puppets exuded a metallic luster, with hard lines and cold murderous intent in their eyes.
"Oh no, it's the Guardian Puppet!" Fu Shaoping's face changed, and he immediately took a defensive stance. He held his weapon tightly in his hand, stared at the three puppets, and quickly calculated a countermeasure in his mind.
Nangong Wan also reacted quickly. She changed the spell in her hand and began to arrange the formation to assist Fu Shaoping. Her eyes were full of tension and concentration, and she knew the danger of this battle.
These three puppets are not only powerful, but also have six kinds of magical powers. One puppet spewed out a hot flame from its mouth. The flame was dark red and extremely hot. The air was ignited wherever it passed, making a "sizzling" sound. Another puppet waved the huge mace in his hand, and a black airflow gushed out. The airflow cut through the surrounding space like a sharp blade, making a sharp whistling sound. The third puppet used the earth-related magical power, and huge rocks instantly rose from the ground and attacked them like cannonballs.
Fu Shaoping was not afraid at all. He used the Daluo Vajra Seal. He quickly formed seals with both hands, and a huge golden handprint appeared out of thin air. The handprint was engraved with ancient runes, exuding a sacred aura. The golden handprint faced the blazing flames. With a loud "bang", the flames and the handprint collided, generating a strong shock wave that dispersed a large area of the surrounding fog.
Then, Fu Shaoping used the Qiankun Reversal Palm. His figure flashed and he instantly appeared in front of the puppet. As he waved his hand, a powerful palm force surged out. The palm force, with the momentum of reversing the Qiankun, distorted the surrounding space and confronted the black airflow head-on. The palm force and the airflow entangled with each other, making a "crackling" sound. In the end, the palm force was slightly better and dispersed the black airflow.
However, the third puppet's earth-based magical stone had already attacked. Fu Shaoping immediately used the Prisoner Ice Seal. He muttered something, and a crystal ice curtain appeared instantly, wrapping the stone. The ice curtain flashed with a cold light, and the temperature was extremely low. The stone was quickly frozen in the ice curtain and could not move forward any further. Nangong Wan used her full strength to assist in the formation. The formation she arranged emitted a soft light, which merged into the magical power of Fu Shaoping, enhancing the power of the magical power. Her eyes were full of determination and concentration, and she constantly adjusted the power of the formation to ensure that Fu Shaoping could gain the upper hand in the battle.
Fu Shaoping took advantage of the victory and took out the Star Scimitar. The scimitar emitted brilliant starlight, and the blade flowed with mysterious power. He swung the Star Scimitar, and an arc of starlight slashed at a puppet. The puppet dodged quickly, but was still hit by the starlight, and a deep wound appeared on its body, and metal fragments flew out.
At the same time, Fu Shaoping summoned twelve Jinglei Swords to form the Taiyi Sword Formation. The Jinglei Swords flashed with lightning, and the sound of thunder and lightning was endless. The sword formation was like a lightning storm, sweeping towards the other two puppets. The puppets felt a huge threat, and they quickly used their magical powers to resist. For a moment, various lights intertwined, and the roar was deafening.
In the fierce battle, Fu Shaoping took out the broken sword of the innate spiritual treasure. Although the broken sword was incomplete, it still contained powerful power. He raised the broken sword of the innate spiritual treasure, and the broken sword emitted a dazzling light, which contained the power of ancient laws and rushed towards a puppet. The puppet was hit by the light, and its body trembled violently, and the rune light on its body dimmed a lot.
Fu Shaoping knew that the critical moment of the battle had arrived, so he used the Fei Tian Fu Mo body protection ability. He was surrounded by a layer of golden light, and the phantom of Fei Tian Fu Mo appeared faintly in the light. This layer of light not only strengthened his defense, but also gave him a stronger attack power.
In order to increase his chances of winning, Fu Shaoping summoned the Dragon God of the Underworld Temple to assist him. The Dragon God was huge, exuding a mysterious aura. It roared, and the sound shook the entire ruins. The Dragon God waved his huge claws and pounced on the puppet.
Nangong Wan was also not idle, she continued to use various auxiliary magical powers to provide strength support for Fu Shaoping. Her forehead was covered with sweat, but her eyes were still firm, and she tried her best to help Fu Shaoping cope with this difficult battle.
Fu Shaoping seized the opportunity and used his natal spirit talisman. The talisman in his hand flashed with mysterious light, and the power of the rune combined with his natal spirit power to form a powerful attack force. The spirit talisman rushed towards a puppet, and the puppet finally couldn't hold on in front of this powerful force and collapsed.
Then, Fu Shaoping took out the Hun Tian Pearl. The Hun Tian Pearl emitted a colorful light. He integrated the power of the Hun Tian Pearl into himself, and his strength instantly increased by a small realm. He took this opportunity to launch a final attack on the remaining two puppets together with the Dragon God.
Under Fu Shaoping's powerful attack and with the help of Nangong Wan's formation, the two puppets gradually couldn't resist. Finally, with two loud noises, the two puppets collapsed one after another.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan successfully defeated the three guardian puppets. They were exhausted, but their eyes were filled with the joy of victory.
"We succeeded!" Fu Shaoping shouted excitedly. There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of joy and pride.
Nangong Wan smiled and nodded: "Thanks to your magical powers and our cooperation, otherwise it would be dangerous this time." Her face was filled with a gratified smile. This difficult battle has tempered their strength and deepened their tacit understanding.
They walked forward and successfully took down the sword. As soon as they got the sword, a strong force surged into their bodies, making them feel refreshed. This sword was not only extremely sharp, with a cold light flashing on the blade, as if it could easily cut through everything in the world, but it could also automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enhance its own power.
After collecting the spoils, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were not in a hurry to leave the ruins. They knew that there might be more secrets hidden in the ruins. So they began to carefully search every corner of the ruins, not missing any details.
On the walls of the ruins, they found some strange patterns and words. These patterns were colorful, some depicted fierce battles between immortals and monsters, and some showed mysterious immortal cultivation rituals. The words were simple and vigorous, as if they were engraved directly on the wall by some powerful force.
"Shao Ping, these patterns and words seem to be telling an ancient story." Nangong Wan said, pointing to the patterns on the wall.
Fu Shaoping carefully examined the patterns and words, and fell into deep thought: "From these patterns and words, this relic is the place where the immortal practiced. And those phantoms of transformed monsters are the protective forces set up by the immortal to prevent interference from the outside world."
By interpreting these patterns and texts, they also found some clues about the hidden treasures in the ruins. The clues pointed to the basement of the ruins, where it seemed that even more amazing secrets were hidden.
According to the clues, they found a hidden secret room in the basement of the ruins. The door of the secret room was tightly closed, and there were powerful restrictions around it. The restrictions emitted a faint blue light, which contained powerful spiritual power fluctuations. If you are not careful, you may suffer serious damage if you touch the restrictions.
"This restriction is stronger than any we've encountered before. We have to be careful when dealing with it." Fu Shaoping frowned, thinking about how to break it.
Nangong Wan took out his magic weapon, a jade pendant that emitted a soft glow, and tried to use the power of the magic weapon to detect the weakness of the ban.
After some efforts, they finally found the flaw in the ban, successfully cracked the ban, and entered the secret room. In the secret room was a huge crystal coffin, which was crystal clear and emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire secret room like daylight. (End of this chapter)
