Chapter 2247: Volume 11 True Immortal Descends to the World Chapter 2228 Phoenix Spirit Treasure Disk
Original Evil Lotus and Green Stone Ancestor couldn't help but stare at each other in shock. I want
"Evil Lotus Fellow Daoist, what should we do? Should we follow too?" Green Stone Ancestor said somewhat anxiously.
"What Brother Han said also makes sense. Since things have changed, staying here would actually be unwise. Let's go see what happened first." Evil Lotus's face changed rapidly a few times, then she gritted her silver teeth and said.
Afterwards, this woman shook her sleeve, a flower shadow flashed behind her, and she turned into a mass of illusion and shot away.
Seeing this, Green Stone Ancestor let out a light sigh, made a hand seal with one hand, green mist rolled over his body's surface, and he also rose into the air and followed.
At this time, Han Li had already brought the Crab Daoist, rushing along a narrow passage toward the direction of the strongest violent tremors.
Although under the ancient sealing power, the space ban still existed, but with Han Li and other Nascent Soul cultivators expending their full mana, their escape speed naturally wouldn't be too slow.
Han Li swept his divine sense left and right through the passage, and his brow couldn't help but furrow.
Though the passage appeared smooth on the surface, inside it was covered with fine cracks, and they were rapidly increasing at a visible speed.
This underground palace probably couldn't hold out much longer.
After Han Li's heart sank, he quickly made a judgment.
At this moment, the vibrations from ahead grew increasingly intense, as if the entire underground palace might collapse at any moment.
Suddenly, a fork appeared ahead. Han Li didn't hesitate, turned sharply, and his escape light plunged into the new passage.
But as the evil wind arose, two black shadows lunged straight at them—two black-bodied human-faced insects.
These two vicious insects seemed to have been waiting at the entrance of the new passage for a long time.
Han Li's eyes flashed with cold light, he let out a cold snort, and suddenly a jade-green sword shadow flashed at his arm. Immediately, a three-foot-long dark green sword appeared in his hand. He flashed forward and slashed at the two lunging insects.
With a "boom," the surrounding heaven and earth qi boiled violently, and simultaneously, an immense power of law descended into the passage.
The two human-faced insects only felt strange fluctuations around them. Their bodies instantly went numb and unable to move, then a green light flashed before their eyes, and they instantly lost all consciousness, feeling a chill.
Han Li staggered, his body blurring as he appeared behind the two human-faced insects. He shook his wrist, and the dark green sword flashed and vanished.
At this moment, the two human-faced insects emitted two "pupu" sounds, their bodies split in half at the waist, and immediately, flames engulfed them, turning them into flying ash.
Because he didn't want to be further entangled, Han Li didn't even let the Crab Daoist help, directly drew the Xuan Tian Slaying Spirit Sword, and slaughtered the two human-faced insects.
With his current cultivation, he didn't need to use the Nirvana Body to wield part of the power of this Xuan Tian treasure. Dealing with two human-faced insects that weren't even Nascent Soul level was naturally effortless.
Seeing this, the Crab Daoist's expression twitched slightly, but without a word, he tightly followed Han Li's escaping light as it flashed away.
After eliminating these two human-faced insects, the two encountered no more vicious insects in the passage.
After an unknown time, the scenery ahead opened up, and they emerged from the passage exit into a vast underground cavern.
The cavern floor was paved with pale silver fine sand, while the ceiling was covered with sharp, stalactite-like stones. Not far from the passage exit, however, rolling grayish-white mist spread out, and a faint sandalwood fragrance drifted from within.
Before the mist sea, several figures hovered in low air. One of them had a pink giant flower phantom slowly rotating behind her back—this was indeed the Treasure Flower.
At this moment, her jade-like face stared coldly at the grayish-white mist, but her eyes also flickered with a hint of surprise and doubt.
In the mist sea opposite, a blurry grayish-white mist face hovered there, lips moving silently, as if transmitting sound to this woman.
Behind the Treasure Flower, the black crocodile stood there with a face full of vigilance. The others were somewhat familiar Nascent Soul cultivators from other realms.
Now, upon hearing the sound of breaking space, these people all startled and hastily turned to look. But upon seeing it was Han Li and the Crab Daoist, their expressions relaxed again.
"How come, no other fellow Daoists have arrived? What exactly happened here?" Han Li swept his divine sense over the gray mist, then immediately stopped his escape light and asked in a deep voice.
"It's Han Fellow Daoist and Crab Brother Daoist—we also don't know what happened. Currently, Treasure Flower Fellow Daoist is communicating with the spirit of the ancient seal, inquiring about the truth. As for other fellow Daoists? You two are the first to arrive here!" said an old man wearing a golden ring, with an ancient appearance, solemnly.
"Is the ancient seal spirit this thing?" Han Li's eyes flashed, instantly fixing on the giant mist face, pondering as he asked.
At this moment, Treasure Flower seemed to have finished her conversation with the mist giant face.
The giant face rolled once and then dissipated into the mist sea.
"Han Fellow Daoist, Crab Fellow Daoist, you've arrived just in time. Good—you can lend me a hand." Treasure Flower turned, solemnly facing Han Li and said.
"Treasure Flower Fellow Daoist, you haven't yet told Han Li what exactly happened here, or what that vibration over there is about?" Han Li's eyes flashed as he scanned deep into the mist sea, then countered with a question.
"It's the ancient seal power that has lost control! Whether it's the seal suppressing the mother of the plague insects, or the power restraining the Yuan Teng Daoists and others, all have suddenly lost nearly half. Now not only is that plague insect mother about to awaken, but the fellow Daoists trapped in the seal are also suddenly in danger. Without doubt, the first thing this insect will do upon awakening is surely to slaughter the Yuan Teng Daoists. As for this vibration, it's the manifestation of the ancient seal about to collapse—after losing so much power, the seal can no longer be maintained, and the entire underground palace may soon collapse." Treasure Flower sighed and replied.
"What? The seal has lost control. How is this possible! We haven't done anything—could it be that among the few groups repairing the restrictions, one made a major mistake?" a red-faced burly man exclaimed in shock.
"Treasure Flower Fellow Daoist, you just communicated with the ancient seal spirit—didn't you ask for details? As the spirit inherent to the seal, it should know the specifics." The ancient-looking old man also took a deep breath and asked.
Clearly, these people had only just learned of this.
"I certainly asked, but the seal spirit itself doesn't know what's happening—it only feels its own power has been suddenly sucked away by something. However, it has agreed to let us directly transfer to the place where the plague insect mother is sleeping, so we can strike first while she hasn't fully awakened, inflict heavy damage, and then talk. This way, we can temporarily hold back the insect, and give other fellow Daoists time to rescue those trapped. It seems human plans cannot match heaven's will—we can only abandon our original plan." Treasure Flower gave a bitter laugh and said.
"What? Just us few going to face that plague insect mother? Treasure Flower Fellow Daoist, are you joking?" the last woman in a black robe exclaimed, losing her voice.
Upon hearing this, the old man and the burly man both changed expression.
Han Li merely furrowed his brow, without saying anything directly.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoists, I naturally have some confidence in doing this. From the seal spirit, I learned that although the plague insect mother used the seal's power to bind Yuan Teng and over a hundred other Nascent Soul fellow Daoists in one breath, she herself paid a huge price. Moreover, this time she was forced to awaken, so her vital energy should not have recovered much—she cannot compare to her peak. The seal spirit also promised us it would no longer concern itself with other parts of the underground palace, but would channel all remaining power to assist us in this action. And for this mission, I specially borrowed a treasure specifically effective against insect clans from the Xuan Tian. So, we are not without a chance." Treasure Flower quickly explained.
After hearing her words, the three other Nascent Soul cultivators from other realms felt somewhat relieved in their hearts, but since this matter involved the lives of many, no one immediately gave a full agreement.
Treasure Flower naturally noticed the lingering hesitation in others' hearts, and after a moment of resolve, she forced a smile and said:
"Even if fellow Daoists are unwilling to take this risk, you should at least think of your trapped clansmen and friends. Now, Copper Crow Fellow Daoist and others are near where Yuan Teng and others are imprisoned. Even if we cannot directly slay this insect mother, if we can just entangle her for a moment, we can create a chance for others to escape. Moreover, I have a gift for each of you—if you possess this item, even if we truly cannot defeat this insect mother, we can still escape with ease."
As her words fell, Treasure Flower raised her sleeve, and with several "pupu" sounds, several red lights shot toward Han Li and the others.
The others instinctively grabbed the red lights before them.
Han Li looked ahead and brightened, only to find it was a red disk engraved with a complex pattern.
Han Li sensed faint spatial fluctuations emanating from the disk, his heart stirred, he turned it over, and on the back discovered a finely detailed feather pattern engraved—lifelike!
"This is..." Han Li couldn't help but show a hesitant expression.
"Phoenix Spirit Treasure Disk—this is the Phoenix Spirit Treasure Disk capable of instant transmission over millions of miles! Treasure Flower Fellow Daoist actually obtained this—what a tremendous fortune!" said the ancient-looking old man, after clearly seeing the disk's appearance and scanning it with his divine sense, he exclaimed in surprise and joy.
"What? This is the Phoenix Spirit Disk refined from the true celestial phoenix feather! Fellow Daoist, you couldn't have made a mistake, could you? I've heard that possessing this item is nearly equivalent to having an extra life, and almost no restriction or formation can directly block its transmission power." The black-robed woman also exclaimed in surprise.
"It's definitely not wrong—I once saw an identical Phoenix Spirit Disk at an auction in my youth; its pattern and the celestial phoenix aura it emitted were exactly the same." The old man said without hesitation.
"Good, since Treasure Flower Fellow Daoist is willing to give this item, I'll risk my life for this trip. If we don't end up using this miraculous object on this journey, I certainly won't return it!" The red-faced burly man stared at the disk in his hand, a flash of greed passed through his eyes, then he finally made up his mind and said. To be continued...
