Chapter 2313: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2294: Salvage
"Good. But before that, we must make some other preparations. Ying'er, tell them to start setting it up." The Asura Spider Clan Mother nodded and said indifferently to the blood-skirted girl.
"Yes, Mother. You all take out the things and start modifying the Dharma array." The girl agreed and turned to order the other clan members who had come with her.
Other Asura Spider clan members heard this and immediately soared into the air, flying toward the Dharma array around the ice platform.
Some took out array disks in the air, some took out array flags, and some even directly took out unknown Dharma artifacts with strange styles, tossing them toward the vicinity of the ice platform.
These things fell into the Dharma array and turned into colorful glows, sinking into the ground and vanishing without a trace.
Following that, these Asura Spider clan members began chanting incantations, forming seals with one hand and pointing repeatedly at the Dharma array below.
The entire Dharma array hummed endlessly, and all the spiritual patterns began to flow bizarrely while shining. In a short while, it actually transformed into another completely different large Dharma array.
As soon as this Dharma array took shape, a crisp "ga beng" sound came from the cylindrical ice platform standing in the middle, and white marks appeared on its surface.
These white marks rapidly turned from thin to thick, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into cracks the thickness of a finger.
After a loud "boom," the entire ice platform shattered inch by inch, and a miniature water pool ten or so zhang in size was revealed.
This pool's water was as clear as a mirror. As soon as it appeared, a white, misty light pillar soared into the sky.
But this light pillar had only rushed a hundred zhang high when suddenly, with a "pu chi" sound, the surrounding Dharma array shone brightly, and a pale blue light curtain appeared in the high sky, covering Han Li and the others and a small part of the mountain valley beneath it.
The light pillar struck the light curtain in the high sky, and immediately a muffled sound rang out, exploding into dots of white light.
A ball of white, misty cold energy rolled out in all directions.
Wherever the cold energy passed, "chi la" sounds rose up, and sheets of ice emerged out of thin air, rapidly rolling toward Han Li and the others.
But Han Li and the others didn't panic at all. Spiritual light flashed on their bodies, forcing these ice sheets away, unable to get close to them in the slightest.
"The cold energy here doesn't seem as terrifying as imagined." Black Scale swept his divine sense over these cold energies and said with a curl of his lips.
"Is that so? Try it again, Fellow Daoist!" The Asura Spider Clan Mother's eyes flashed with strange light, and she suddenly beckoned at the water pool with one hand.
Red light flashed in several places at the edge of the water pool, and four balls of red light flew out, circling and hovering in the low sky without moving.
They were a ruyi, a mirror, a crystal ball, and a ring.
These four treasures all emitted waves of scorching heat, turning the nearby cold energy into nothingness.
And the seemingly calm water pool let out strange, gurgling sounds. The light pillar spraying out from within thickened, actually turning into a milky white color that looked like a solid substance.
In an instant, the cold energy within the light curtain intensified. The degree of extreme cold was more than ten times greater than before.
Everyone, under the pressure of this extreme cold, had their protective spiritual light flicker uncertainly, immediately appearing unable to hold on.
Xue Ran, Mo Jianli, and others were shocked. Either raising one hand or forming seals with their hands, various protective treasures flew out, circling and dancing in front of them, only then forcing the cold energy back.
"It's really different from before. These few artifacts are the Pure Yang treasures buried by your clan, right? But if it's only to this degree, with your divine abilities and exotic treasures for protection, Fellow Daoist, it should be barely possible to enter the pool and take the treasure directly." Han Li spoke slowly.
Although he didn't release any treasures for protection, a layer of faint silver flames flickered on his body. Every time the cold energy touched it, it was sucked into it like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to get close to him within a few zhang.
"If the cold energy in the pool were only to this degree, I would naturally risk it. But what you don't know, Fellow Daoist, is that for every zhang deeper one goes into this pool, the degree of ice cold becomes one point stronger. The depth of this pool is something even I haven't been able to explore clearly until now. Using normal methods to take out the treasure at the bottom of the pool is simply wishful thinking. Otherwise, how could our clan have left the treasure outside for so many years?" The woman replied with a sneer, but the look she gave Han Li had a hint of wariness.
Previously, the old man surnamed Yi's divine abilities were no worse than the Asura Spider Clan Mother's.
Han Li was able to destroy his physical body and severely injure his Nascent Soul, so injuring or killing the woman naturally wasn't too difficult either.
"So that's how it is. Then how do you intend for us to help, Fellow Daoists?" Han Li nodded and asked without changing his expression.
"It's very simple. This Dharma array is one that our clan's array master spent several hundred years conceiving. As long as there are six or more Mahayana existences at the same time pouring Dharma power into it, we can urge its power and take the treasure in the deep pool directly. Before, because our clan couldn't gather so many Mahayana existences, we could only shelve this plan. Now that we have you Fellow Daoists, it is as easy as turning over one's hand." The blood-skirted girl beside him explained with a light laugh.
"Six Mahayana existences? Even adding Fellow Daoist Luo, we only have five people here." Han Li's eyes flashed, and he was somewhat surprised.
"Brother Han and the others don't need to worry about this. Little sister has a secret technique that can temporarily raise my cultivation by a level, so at that time, I can barely count as a Mahayana existence." The girl smiled enchantingly and said.
"You have this kind of secret technique, Fellow Daoist? Could it also be a type of time and space divine ability?" Upon hearing the girl's words, Han Li felt a chill in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist Han truly has quite an understanding of Time and Space Dharma law. This technique is indeed based on time and space power." The blood-skirted girl was stunned upon hearing this, and after looking at Han Li deeply, she replied slowly.
Han Li laughed and didn't pursue the matter further.
"Since everything is ready, let's do it. It's so cold here, I don't want to stay here for long." At this time, Black Scale hummed, appearing very impatient.
"Good. I don't want to delay any longer either. You Fellow Daoists just stand in these positions and enter the Dharma array. Hehe, with your attainments in Dharma arrays, you can naturally see at a glance that this Dharma array is harmless to you, so there's no need to worry at all." The Asura Spider Clan Mother agreed expressionlessly, and with one hand forming seals, she pointed at the four Pure Yang treasures above the cold pool.
"Boom!" With a sound, the four treasures flashed, turning into rolling fireballs. With their red flames rolling, they expanded wildly.
In the blink of an eye, they turned into four red suns hanging in the void, and at the same time, waves of fire rolled out in all directions.
Everything frozen in the light curtain melted away after the red waves flashed past.
At the same time, the Dharma array surrounding the cold pool hummed, and six stone pillars several zhang tall slowly rose from within.
These stone pillars were covered in glow, engraved with dense spiritual patterns, and at the top, there was a faint silver miniature Dharma array.
"Fellow Daoists, just stand on these pillars. When I give the order, pour all your Dharma power into them. The matter of manipulating the Dharma array will be left to our clan. Ying'er, you go first." The Asura Spider Clan Mother took a deep breath, dispersed the Dharma seals in her hand, and said.
She let the blood-skirted girl enter the Dharma array first, clearly intending to let everyone feel at ease.
However, this move was truly effective. Seeing the blood-skirted girl float into the array with a smile, Xue Ran and Black Scale looked at each other and moved their bodies without a second thought, occupying the other two stone pillars.
Mo Jianli hesitated slightly before flying over as well.
Han Li swept his gaze over these six stone pillars, smiled lightly, and formed seals with one hand. His body blurred and vanished from the original spot.
The next moment, ripples appeared on a stone pillar, and Han Li's figure appeared on it as if by teleportation.
The woman saw that everyone had entered the Dharma array and didn't dare to be negligent. After shaking a few times, she stood on the last stone pillar and ordered the other clan members outside the Dharma array:
"Start casting the spell. This time, we must succeed in one go."
"Yes, Clan Mother." One of the four adult Asura Spider men answered solemnly, beckoned, and the others moved their bodies, standing at the edge of the Dharma array and sitting cross-legged, beginning to chant incantations.
Instantly, the entire Dharma array hummed, and the spiritual patterns began to flow bizarrely. All the spiritual patterns began to shine, and runes began to emerge from all places, gathering toward the sky above the cold pool, faintly forming
At this moment, those Asura Spider clansmen either began to activate their magic tools or formed seals with their hands, starting to inject streams of pure magic power directly into the magic array.
The entire magic array began to hum loudly, and as the circulating spirit patterns flashed, they all became crystal clear, with the number of runes emerging from within increasing by more than half.
After a short while, the ball of runes above the cold pool had grown to the size of a zhang, and it became increasingly clear, as if it were a physical object.
The Asura Spider Matriarch watched the space above the cold pool without blinking. When the volume of the rune ball reached a certain point and could no longer increase, she finally tightened her expression and gave an order to Han Li and the others:
"It is time; fellow Daoists, begin injecting your magic power as well."
As soon as she finished speaking, spirit light flashed wildly over the woman's body, and rolling true power surged along her feet into the stone pillar beneath her.
Although the other five had different thoughts, upon hearing this, they did not dare to delay and each began to cast their spells.
In an instant, the six pillars of light began to flash wildly under the infusion of astonishing magic power. After the spirit patterns on their surfaces lit up, dense swarms of runes surged out, converging toward the heights.
A "Boom—" of a loud noise came, and the volume of the floating ball expanded rapidly after so many runes were integrated into it.
After a short while, it had turned into the size of a pavilion, covering the entire water pool beneath it in a silver shroud.
Seeing this, the woman showed a hint of joy on her face. She pointed a single hand into the empty space above the cold pool, opened her sandalwood mouth, and spat out a cyan silk net. RQ!!!
