Chapter 966: The Old Shadow and the Relics of the Pill Bead

After stepping through the main door of the hall, Chen Chuan did not rush to the lacquer box on the table, but looked around.

As soon as he came in, he felt an invasion coming, and the second I immediately showed signs of becoming virtual. Although this invasion was relatively small, it did exist after all.

The signs of infection that appeared on Xu Mutang's body just now were most likely due to entering this place.

However, it now seems that some of the original arrangements here have been weakened, perhaps because Xu Mutang just destroyed something.

In addition to this, the positions of some of the incomplete murals and eternal lights around are also very particular, as if they vaguely constitute some kind of ritual.

He only had a basic understanding of esoteric rituals, but could tell that this ritual was not offensive in nature, but rather one of maintenance. The layout and furnishings here were completely different from those outside, and they looked as bright as new. Apart from the material itself, this should be due to the maintenance of the ritual.

After looking around, he finally looked at the lacquer box. According to what Xu Mutang had just said, the thing that escaped from Yuwen Yuanqi's body might be the god of Emperor Ying.

It is very likely that he had cultivated the state of a god in the past, which is why he was able to occupy Yuwen Yuanqi's body and fight. However, after a thousand years, he should not have much strength left, otherwise he would not have abandoned his most useful body and escaped just now.

In the end, he hid here. Was it because there was something inside that could provide him with shelter?

He walked closer, stared at the thing, took out the Xuejun Knife and used it to pick up the lid of the box.

But at the moment when the lid of the box flew up, an unexpected scene was seen. A luminous mist like a gauze suddenly rose from the sharp arrow and rushed to the top of the hall, as if it wanted to leave. However, several attempts were unsuccessful because it was being dragged by a golden pill from behind, and that thing seemed to be eating it away bit by bit.

Chen Chuan looked up, his eyebrows twitching slightly, and immediately he saw a face vaguely emerging in the bright mist.

This is most typical of fighters who practice the divine form. They themselves actually have no specific outlines, but their faces represent the most fundamental self-awareness.

Without this, he would not be able to maintain his true form and would completely lose himself. However, above this face there is a faint imperial crown, which is enough to prove his identity.

After struggling for a long time and failing to escape, Emperor Ying suddenly looked at Chen Chuan and sent him a spiritual thought, which meant that he should let go and eliminate himself and allow it to live in him.

Chen Chuan raised his eyebrows. Was this guy too arrogant, or did he not learn his lesson and forget about his miserable condition? He could actually make such a request in front of the person who beat him up, and it seemed like it was natural.

But then he changed his mind and thought, maybe it was because of the golden seal he was carrying?
He reached into his pocket and took out the golden seal. Then he crushed it in front of the other person and threw it on the ground, then looked at him calmly.

The divine figure opposite seemed extremely furious when he saw this scene, and immediately rushed towards him.

Chen Chuan held the Xuejun Sword hanging on one side with both hands. Driven by his mind, a dazzling light suddenly appeared on the blade, and at the same time a platinum-colored aura floated around. When the rushing god arrived in front of him, he turned his waist and swung his arms, driving the blade to slash upwards, and instantly a shining arc of light was drawn in the hall!
As the knife passed, the contours of the face suddenly distorted, and then an expression of mixed emotions such as shock, anger, despair, resentment, and unwillingness was revealed. Then the entire group of mist separated along a smooth knife mark.

Chen Chuan watched intently. Even the divine form could not resist the spiritual fire and the slashing attack. Instead of running away, the opponent actively rushed forward. In this case, he could only help him.

Just at this moment, the pill in the box suddenly emitted a stream of light, and the dazzling light instantly filled the entire palace.

He raised his hand to block it, and could see that the mist seemed to be dissolved by the light and was absorbed into the mist.

Then he heard an exclamation of admiration, and a hand stretched out from the light and took the pill. Its owner seemed to look at it for a moment, and then a gentle voice sounded in his ears: "My pill is ready. I have a destiny with your help and a gift for you. I will leave this thing to you."

After he finished speaking, there seemed to be a whisk sweeping by, and the light quickly condensed. When he looked again, he saw that the pill was still on the long table, and it seemed that it had not been taken away. Could it be that what he saw just now was just an illusion?
wrong.

He felt that it was not an illusion, but most likely some method of using spiritual power, which was presented in a way that he did not understand yet.

What was taken away might refer to something contained in the pill, including the remaining image of Emperor Ying that suddenly disappeared just now.

He walked over and stretched out his hand to pick up the pill. At first he thought that this thing might be the pill that Emperor Ying was refining in order to ascend to immortality, but after holding it, he found that it was not the case. He felt that this thing looked like a substance, but it had no weight, as if he was holding only a wisp of light smoke, but it was extremely solid when he exerted force, especially when he probed his spirit into it, he felt a sense of emptiness and nothingness, as if he had sunk into a bottomless deep cave.

Such feedback made him think of something he had mentioned when he and Mr. Zhuan were chatting. Legend has it that in the old days, in order to explore the secrets of immortality in the outer world, the Xuanjiao people collected hundreds of essences from the outer world and finally melted them into a body that could allow them to live forever in the outer world. That thing was said to be like a pill. Could it be this?
This is a good thing for a fighter with divine appearance.

No wonder Emperor Ying invested in this.

However, he was not in the divine form, so it seemed that he did not need this thing. But when he came to this thought, he seemed to think of something else. After pondering for a while, he opened his hand, and this thing slowly floated up and finally hid in the spiritual form.

This thing, like the armor and the sword, is between reality and illusion, so it can be accepted by the spiritual world.

He took another look at the main hall. This was the highest palace in terms of terrain, and Emperor Ying himself was also here, so the real things stored in the secret collection should be here.

After scanning the area, his eyes finally landed on the seat where Yuwen Yuanqi had originally sat. He could clearly feel that there seemed to be a void underneath.

But he did not open it immediately. Instead, he walked out and came to Xu Mutang, who was half-sitting there and had lost consciousness.
Because in order to create an opportunity for him to fight, he had squeezed out the last bit of spiritual fire that could be called upon outside, which also caused him to lose his protection and fail to withstand the attack just now.

But even so, the alienated tissues in its body still spontaneously resisted the infection, preventing the filth from spreading further.

At this moment, he stretched out his hand, and a dazzling light shone from the palm of his hand. Under the cover of this light, the tiny holes on the surface of Xu Mutang's body and the long worms that were going in and out of it all turned into wisps of black smoke and drifted away.

The power of the Great Light can purify these infections very well, but it only clears the outermost part. If you want to completely eliminate it, you need the other party to completely let go of himself, which is unnecessary. I believe that no fighter is willing to do this, and he can handle the rest by himself.

Xu Mutang's chest heaved at this moment, and he woke up suddenly. When he opened his eyes, he showed an extremely alert look, because his memory was still stuck on the moment when Yuwen Yuanqi let out a scream.

When he saw Chen Chuan standing not far in front of him, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately turned to look at the place where the battle had just taken place.

There were large areas of pits everywhere, and the most conspicuous thing was a set of armor and a long hammer gathered there. He paused, stood up slowly, and asked uncertainly: "Director Chen, you... Yuwen Yuanqi is...?"

Chen Chuan said naturally, "It's over."

Although Xu Mutang had already guessed the answer, he couldn't help but look at Chen Chuan, and his heart was very uneasy.

He had just experienced firsthand how powerful Yuwen Yuanqi was. Although the opponent might not have his original strength, he was still very difficult to deal with. This man did not show any signs of damage and looked very relaxed, as if he had not used much strength to deal with Yuwen Yuanqi. This gave him a new assessment of Chen Chuan's strength.

It's a pity that I didn't get to see the subsequent battle.

He exhaled slowly, and his physical condition improved. This should be because of the trick Chen Chuan used.

He looked at Chen Chuan and said sincerely, "Director Chen, you helped me solve my problem, right? Thank you, Director Chen, you saved me again."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "General Manager Xu, you don't have to be polite. If you hadn't helped me just now, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

Xu Mutang said, "This makes me feel a little ashamed. My actions just now were just for self-protection. If I hadn't relied on Director Chen, the consequences would have been unpredictable." After a pause, he asked, "Director Chen came in through the right way this time, right?"

Chen Chuan said: “Yes.”

Xu Mutang was silent for a moment, then he said, "To be honest with you, Director Chen, we in Longyou Dao have been eyeing this secret treasure for a long time. When I received the news that the ritual had changed, I rushed here as soon as possible.

I originally wanted to get the secret treasure before you, Director Chen, arrived, or at least occupy a part of it, so that too much of the secret treasure would not be lost. I didn't expect that I was too self-righteous. If it weren't for Director Chen this time, I might have died here. I think, Director Chen, only you are qualified to take the things here."
