Chapter 2312: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2293: Cold Pool
"It's a pity that two of the puppets given by Brother Han were destroyed while luring the enemy. Afterward, this old man will definitely compensate for them." Mo Jianli said with some apology.
"Those puppets were originally given to you, Fellow Daoist, so it doesn't matter if they are all destroyed. Brother Mo, don't take it to heart." Han Li laughed dumbly, appearing not to care at all. Mo Jianli saw this and naturally thanked him repeatedly.
After another while, a rumbling sound rang out in the sky, and the four adult Asura Spiders also appeared, riding a strange wind.
However, these four Body Integration stage monsters, two of them had revealed their giant spider original forms, and although the other two still maintained human forms, their clothes were tattered, appearing even more disheveled.
Clearly, these four Asura Spiders, although they rushed out of the Dharma array Mo Jianli had set up, had also suffered a great deal.
But as soon as they fell into the Stone City, Han Li opened his mouth indifferently:
"Fellow Daoist Ying, now that everyone has gathered, we can go salvage that treasure. Where are your crystal cores?"
"Fellow Daoist Han, don't worry. Those crystal cores are on little sister's body. There are six here; catch them." The blood-skirted girl stood gracefully in the void, and upon hearing this, she smiled. Her palm flipped, and a white jade box flew out from within.
Seeing this object, Xue Ran, Mo Jianli, and others all had slight changes in their expressions, but no one reached out to grab it rashly.
Only Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he shook his sleeve, grabbing the jade box into his hand.
After opening the box lid and sweeping his divine sense through it, everyone's face showed joy.
The jade box really contained six crystal-clear, snow-white crystal cores, each only the size of a thumb, but emitting a strange, mysterious aura.
Han Li only thought for a moment before his palm holding the jade box suddenly shook.
Instantly, three white lights flew out from within, shooting toward Xue Ran and his brother, while two others circled and fell toward Mo Jianli.
Spiritual light flashed.
The jade box, along with the remaining crystal core inside, was collected by Han Li into his storage bracelet.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han!" Xue Ran and Black Scale saw this, and the joy on their faces could no longer be concealed.
Xue Ran grabbed at the void, and the two crystal cores that shot over fell into his hand.
Black Scale saw this and hesitated slightly, but didn't say much, raising his hand to scoop the third crystal core into his sleeve.
"Fellow Daoist Han, you only took one. This is somewhat inappropriate." Mo Jianli grabbed the two falling crystal cores, but couldn't help but hesitate.
"Brother Mo, don't worry. The remaining crystal cores will just arrive a bit later; what difference does it make?" Han Li said indifferently.
"Since Fellow Daoist Han has said so, this old man will accept them first." Mo Jianli's expression changed a few times, and after gritting his teeth, he didn't decline, carefully collecting the two crystal cores.
"Little sister has already paid the reward in advance. Should we set off now?" The girl said unhurriedly.
"No problem. Please lead the way, Fellow Daoist." Han Li naturally had no reason to disagree and replied immediately.
The girl smiled enchantingly and agreed, immediately falling into the Stone City.
One of the Body Integration stage demon clan members in the Asura Spider clan, after a command from the girl, rolled on the ground. A wild wind rose, and he actually transformed into a black giant eagle over ten zhang long.
The girl, the Asura Spider Clan Mother, and others moved their bodies, flying onto the eagle one after another.
After a long cry, the giant eagle immediately spread its wings and shot toward the edge of the sky.
"Let's follow too. I hope the remaining crystal stones can also be obtained smoothly."
Han Li said indifferently, raised his hand, and a cyan light shot out. After a flash, it transformed into a triangular cyan giant vehicle, and he was the first to step onto it lightly.
Mo Jianli, Xue Ran, and others didn't dare to be negligent and soared into the air, boarding the flying vehicle.
Han Li formed seals with one hand, and the giant vehicle shook, turning into a ball of cyan light and shooting away, following closely behind the black giant eagle in front.
One in front and one behind, they vanished without a trace at the edge of the sky in the blink of an eye.
Half a day later, on the surface of a sea that seemed to have no end, a black wind and a ball of cyan light traveled rolling.
Some powerful aquatic exotic beasts in the nearby sea area, after sensing the faint auras emitted by the two, fled far away in shock, fearing they would provoke the terrifying existences within.
Suddenly, the black wind in front paused, its speed slowing down significantly. Then, the evil wind scattered, revealing a divine giant eagle with iron feathers.
"Why? Have we arrived at that place?" Behind, the cyan light also subsided, and a giant vehicle appeared with a hum, emitting a faint male voice.
"Brother Han, don't be impatient. That cold pool is on an island not far ahead. At that time, you will all need to exert great effort." On the giant eagle in front, the blood-skirted girl's exceptionally pleasant voice rang out.
"It's good that we've arrived. If it took any longer, I'm afraid we would have had some bad thoughts." Han Li stood at the front of the flying vehicle, replying calmly.
"Why? Do you still not trust little sister until now, Fellow Daoist?" The blood-skirted girl giggled and replied.
"Hehe, that's hard to say. Until I have the remaining crystal cores in hand, I won't be too at ease." Han Li yawned and said noncommittally.
The girl laughed lightly but didn't interject.
At this time, countless black shadows appeared on the sea surface ahead. After getting closer, it was discovered that it was a dense cluster of islands.
These islands were large and small, some lush and dense, some desolate, and the scenery was mostly completely different.
"Interesting. The distribution of heaven and earth origin energy here is actually different in every place." After approaching these islands, a strange look flashed in Mo Jianli's eyes, and he couldn't help but marvel.
"There are restriction waves; it seems there are many restriction Dharma arrays set up, which is why the spiritual energy is so strange. Fellow Daoist Ying, what kind of place is this?" Xue Ran swept his divine sense toward the cluster of islands ahead and asked with a solemn expression.
Han Li frowned and swept his gaze toward the Asura Spider clan members on the giant eagle ahead, not asking anything immediately.
"You are overthinking, Fellow Daoists. This is just an ancient battlefield left over from ancient times. Hence, although there are many residual Dharma arrays and restrictions here, they are all incomplete and pose no threat to us at all. If you don't believe me, Fellow Daoists, just check carefully and you will understand." The Asura Spider Clan Mother replied with a sneer.
"It really is just some incomplete restrictions; their effectiveness is not even one or two percent of the original." Mo Jianli hurriedly probed with his divine sense and said with relief.
"Hehe, we were overthinking." Xue Ran also swept his divine sense, and his expression relaxed.
In this way, the giant eagle and the war vehicle didn't stop in the void, entering this cluster of islands sea area one after another.
The Asura Spider clan was clearly exceptionally familiar with this sea area.
The giant eagle flying in front turned left and right in the empty high sky, easily avoiding the many residual restrictions blocking the way, and entered the depths of the cluster of islands without any obstruction.
An hour later, when the void suddenly turned cold, a giant island covered in ice and snow appeared before their eyes.
Looking from afar, this island was ten thousand li wide, and every part of it was covered by goose-feather snow. Everything looked blurry, and there were faintly several giant peaks standing on it.
"This is the place. That cold pool is in a mountain valley. Fellow Daoists, let's go down together." The blood-skirted girl saw this island, her eyes showing a hint of heat. After greeting Han Li and the others behind, she urged the giant eagle to land on the island.
Han Li and the others looked at each other and naturally followed closely.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a group of people appeared in a mountain valley piled with thick snow, hovering in the air a dozen zhang above the ground.
The giant eagle and the flying vehicle had both vanished without a trace.
"This is the place. Where is that cold pool?" Black Scale swept his divine sense in all directions and asked with a hint of strangeness.
"Fellow Daoist Black Scale, although the treasure in the cold pool cannot be taken out by outsiders, this place is so remote, so our clan naturally couldn't leave it exposed out of thin air. We covered it with a Dharma array long ago. Come, remove the illusion array." The Asura Spider Clan Mother explained expressionlessly and ordered.
Two of the four adult Asura Spiders immediately stood out and floated toward a corner of the mountain valley.
One flipped his hand, and a square, gorgeous array disk appeared in his palm.
Another opened his mouth and sprayed, and a white, misty array flag appeared.
The two chanted incantations, tossed the treasures in their hands out simultaneously, and pointed repeatedly with their fingers.
After a few "pu pu" sounds, the square array disk spun, and countless five-colored runes flew out from within, drifting toward the front.
The white array flag flashed with glow, and a roar rang out. Faintly, a giant white tiger phantom appeared on it.
"Boom!" A loud noise, the white tiger opened its big mouth, and a beam of light that was completely transparent sprayed out, sinking into the corner of the mountain valley in a flash.
And those five-colored runes mixed into the wind and snow, rolling toward the same place.
The next moment, the void in the corner of the mountain valley flashed wildly, and after a blur, a large Dharma array appeared.
This Dharma array looked quite mysterious, and its edges were stuck full of fist-sized crystal stones of various colors, looking exceptionally eye-catching.
At the center of the magic array, layers of crystal-like black ice were spread out, vaguely forming a cylindrical high platform from which faint wisps of white light seemed to emanate.
"This is the cold pool you mentioned? It doesn't look like much." Xue Ran swept a glance at the column-shaped high platform, frowned, and said.
"Hmph, if it were really like this, it would be fine. If I hadn't used a Dharma array and several Pure Yang treasures to suppress the cold energy of this pool, I'm afraid the moment the seal was lifted, the entire cluster of islands sea area would have been completely frozen." The Asura Spider Clan Mother snorted and glanced at Xue Ran.
"The entire sea area would be frozen? Is it truly that terrifying?" Mo Jianli heard this and changed color.
"How it is, won't we all know in a while? Fellow Daoist Luo, open the cold pool. Let us take a look first." Han Li, however, said as usual.
