Chapter 1213: Forcing the Spirit to Drive Itself
After everyone arrived at their respective positions, they felt that there were dozens of spiritual light balls rising to a high place behind them, illuminating the huge cave pit brightly, without any dark corners.
This provided sufficient light for everyone. They had brought lamps with them when they came in, but now they didn't need them.
Moreover, these spiritual fires can also serve as a warning. Once an invasion occurs in the cracks, it can be detected immediately.
Chen Chuan stood and looked upward. As he observed, the ritual patterns were clearly visible.
We have to thank the original people here. Even though the original ritual was not fully completed, a huge cage was built, locking the rift and the evil spirit firmly here. There is no way out, and it can only infiltrate outwards little by little day after day.
Although some of the power overflowed, it could not come back, and instead dispersed the power of this thing.
It can be said that this gap was deliberately left for him so that he can vent continuously, but there is no way to break free.
It was precisely because of knowing this that everyone present felt relieved. Moreover, with Chen Chuan here, out of trust in him, they did not worry about their own safety and were able to concentrate on doing their own things.
When Chen Chuan and others were here, they were also paying attention to everyone's actions. After all, it was their first time to perform the ritual of the Chu people, so they might make mistakes. He could correct any problems in time.
He soon discovered that this group of ritual experts was actually very skilled, worthy of being the elite members of the Purity Faction. They were very efficient, and not only were there no mistakes in filling in the materials, but they were also very economical in their use. Every detail was precise and in place, and there was no need to do it a second time at all.
He originally estimated that it would take about six hours to complete all this, but now it seems that at this speed, it won't take that long at all, and three hours at most will be enough.
In fact, the longer the time is delayed, the more complicated the situation will be, and the more tired people will be. After all, rituals and spirits will influence each other. The longer the time is, the more spirit is consumed, and the efficiency will be correspondingly reduced, so it will take longer in the end.
After judging the time, he looked towards the crack. It was just the beginning, and there was no movement there. However, he might not be able to hold back. In fact, if he didn't come out, it would be no problem. He could just seal it and suppress the crack, and then he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
It seemed like not much time had passed, and in a flash more than two hours had passed.
Just as Chen Chuan expected, due to efficient allocation and collaboration, the ceremony was gradually coming to an end.
No matter whether the thing on the opposite side comes out or not, the outcome will be revealed soon.
Vigadov was a little anxious at the moment. He stared at the light above the crack and tightly grasped the civilization staff in his hand.
He was worried that the other party would not come out, but also worried that the other party would really come out. His mood was very contradictory. As a fighter, he seemed very impatient, too enthusiastic and irrational towards people, but it was normal for a fighter to have any problems. As long as he existed, it was all reasonable.
Chen Chuan was still as calm as before. He had dealt with old sins, dealt with the opposing existence, and even been to the other side of the rift. He had witnessed too many similar scenes.
At this time, he still had time to pay attention to the outside of the mountain, because he could feel that some of the power of the thing opposite him had leaked out.
Chao Ming is now flying and circling in the sky, but the boundary it carries cannot connect to the field information due to the distance barrier and the obstruction of the mountain.
But his current spiritual power is not comparable to the past. It can easily spread outward and connect with Chao Ming's field, so that he can clearly see what it sees. Of course, if he goes to investigate by himself, it is also possible, but it is a waste of spiritual power. There is no need to do so with Chao Ming there.
At this time, he discovered a problem. The wind and sand outside the mountain were getting stronger and stronger. It was Chaoming. Ordinary birds could not fly in this strong wind.
There are indeed strong winds in the central and southern parts of the Federation in March, but they usually take shape from April to June. They are not as strong as they are now. Apart from that, the ground is also shaking slightly.
Chen Chuan looked down and soon discovered that there was a powerful force that was originally well hidden under the ground of the mountain. At this moment, it began to stir, and it seemed that it wanted to cause some vibrations to cause the mine to collapse.
His eyes flickered slightly. There was no doubt that this was caused by that thing. If the mine collapsed, it would be a real problem. Although he could guarantee the safety of all personnel, the problem was that the rituals were all built on and attached to these things. If they were damaged, the rituals would no longer exist.
But the other side underestimated the pure faction.
This is a mine, and accidents could easily happen if one is not careful, not to mention that there is an evil creature lurking here. How could Vigadov and the others ignore this?
In the past few years, not only has the mine been re-supported and reinforced, but they have also set up a large circle of peripheral rituals outside as a blockade.
He had seen it before. The main idea was to release the outside and guard the inside, mainly to suppress the power of that thing from the inside. Now he could see that as the turmoil in the underground began, the ritual began to take effect, suppressing the power. Although there were still some vibrations, it did not cause much damage to the overall structure of the mine.
After seeing this, he could not help but nod his head. Although filling the gap at the end of the ritual was the most critical part, without the efforts and arrangements made by the members of the Purity School over the past few years, the prerequisites for doing this would not exist. If not, he would have to do the reinforcement work first, and then come back to do this, which would take a long time. It would be better for him to just go in and give it a try.
After a while, the hurricane outside became more and more violent, and the turbulence underground became more violent, but it still failed to break through the limit, so it did not affect here much. And because of Chen Chuan's sense of security here, everyone was doing their own things without distraction.
Seeing that the mine could not be shaken at all and the ritual repair was gradually being completed, the thing hiding in the crack seemed to be a little anxious, and vague black shadows could be seen swaying in the crack.
At first, perhaps because it was worried about something, it never came out. However, as the ceremony gradually came to an end, it finally couldn't bear it anymore, and in the flickering light, a figure walked out from inside.
This is a young man with three-dimensional features, a square face, deep eyes, but with a somewhat vicissitudes and melancholy temperament. He looks less than 30 years old and is wearing a slim formal suit with a lotus leaf collar.
His hair was slightly messy, slightly covering his forehead. He should have been a very handsome man, but at this moment, both his face and the exposed skin were covered with fine cracks, and wisps of burnt black smoke floated out of the gaps.
Vigadov couldn't help but get excited at this moment, but when he saw the dark eyes with black smoke floating in them, he closed his eyes reluctantly and sighed.
With the appearance of this person, the brightness of the spiritual light ball in the sky began to dim, and strange rustling sounds appeared around. It was a sound that seemed like a whisper in the ear, but it was impossible to hear clearly.
The people who were repairing things around seemed to sense something, but they quickly eliminated the distraction and continued with their work.
Originally, the strong attack was enough to affect these people, but the area around here was densely covered with Chen Chuan's field and spiritual power, so all the attacks were borne by him alone.
Chen Chuan looked at the figure. Although the thing opposite seemed to have walked out, he knew that it was only a projection of part of the power, so there was no need to take action now.
That thing seemed to have no effect on other people, so it sent a trace of spiritual power to Chen Chuan, as if it wanted to convey some information.
Chen Chuan took a look and found that most of the information conveyed by this thing was threatening, and it also hinted at benefits for him.
He ignored it.
He simply ignored the threats and came out to fight him if he had the ability. As for the benefits, he only knew that as long as he killed this thing, it would be good for him.
Instead, he could feel from that spiritual power that its original body was some kind of natural spirit that was worshipped. Later, it was polluted and turned into an appearance similar to the one in front of him, and now it has found a host body.
This was somewhat different from the opposite existence he had seen, and the pure old evil. But no matter what it was, they were the ones who closed the rift and blocked it.
Seeing that temptation and threats were useless, and as the ritual was gradually perfected, the opening was closing tighter and tighter, the thing finally seemed unable to bear it anymore, and the black smoke on its body suddenly spread outwards.
The smoke instantly covered the entire pit, inevitably colliding with Chen Chuan's field and spirit.
Chen Chuan only felt a loud bang around him, and the world suddenly turned black and white. This was a scene formed by the power of another world being poured in in large quantities and integrating with the material world here.
But because it was created in a hurry, it looks broken and messy.
The way he looked at the other side, it was obvious that this thing was tactical and was using every advantage it could.
Because this pit is surrounded by the ritual of the First People, it is equivalent to weakening the suppressive power of the World Ring in disguise, so it can temporarily project more power of the rift outward.
At the same time, he took advantage of his need to protect the people around him, making it inevitable that his spirit and field would be connected, thus pulling him in and forming an independent airspace with only two existences.
But it didn't matter, or it was exactly what he wanted. At this moment, he placed one hand on the hilt of Xuejun's sword. As the blade was unsheathed, a platinum-colored spiritual fire suddenly rose from his body.
