Chapter 2314

The cyan silk flashed and vanished, silently sinking into the rune ball and disappearing without a trace.

Then, the woman began to chant, her ten fingers pointing repeatedly at the space above the cold pool like a spinning wheel.

With a "Puff" sound.

The surface of the rune ball shone with ten thousand rays of rosy light, and after spinning around, it suddenly transformed into a funnel-shaped five-colored cloud.

Runes flickered within the cloud, its aura changing in a myriad of ways, as if something were rapidly condensing within.

When the Asura Spider Matriarch gave a low shout, the cloud blurred, and at the same time, light flashed at its base. Five brilliant crystal threads, each as thick as a thumb, emerged from it and descended toward the surface of the cold pool.

With a "Sizzle" sound.

As soon as the crystal threads touched the water of the cold pool, a layer of milky-white cold air rolled up, and a layer of white frost appeared on their surfaces.

The woman raised her eyebrows, and without a word, she pointed her finger solemnly at the cloud once more.

With a muffled thunderclap, a stream of five-colored rosy light rolled down along the crystal threads, and as soon as it touched the milky-white cold air, it instantly rolled it away.

The frost on the surface of the crystal threads immediately vanished without a trace.

After the crystal threads sank, they submerged back into the cold pool.

The Asura Spider Matriarch's face showed a hint of caution, her hands continuously changing magic seals.

The five crystal threads continued to sink deep into the cold pool.

Han Li stood on the stone pillar, his gaze flickering as he watched all this, while his internal magic power rolled and mobilized, continuously injecting into the magic array beneath him.

Although the woman had told them to give it their all, given the depth of Han Li's magic power, using only a small half was enough to handle this matter.

He secretly used a secret technique to silently calculate the specific depth to which the crystal threads had sunk into the cold pool.

Ten zhang, thirty zhang, one hundred zhang, three hundred zhang...

As time passed bit by bit, Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

By this time, hindered by the extreme cold in the depths, the descent speed of the crystal threads had clearly slowed down significantly.

When they passed a depth of one thousand zhang, the woman could not help but let out a light breath, her face full of cautious expressions.

At this point, with every breath, the crystal threads could only sink a few inches deeper, and it had become extremely difficult.

In the past, hindered by the cold air, this Asura Spider Matriarch could only explore to this depth at most with the help of treasures.

Therefore, from here on, these crystal threads could touch the bottom of the cold pool at any moment, making the woman not dare to be careless for a single second.

At this moment, the blood-skirted girl's entire figure was submerged in a mass of blood mist, and a blurry, indistinct shadow flickered slightly behind her.

Although he did not know what secret technique this girl was using, the aura emanating from it was truly no weaker than that of an ordinary Great Ascension stage cultivator.

What she had said earlier about using a secret technique to directly raise her cultivation by a major realm was indeed no lie.

This caused the gazes of Xue Ran, Mo Jianli, and the others to frequently linger on her.

Half an hour passed.

The parts of the crystal threads exposed above the water, despite the five-colored rosy light flowing over them, still began to re-condense a thin layer of frost, and their descent speed had reached a point where it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

With Mo Jianli and the others injecting magic power continuously for such a long time, even if they could still persist, their expressions were no longer as relaxed as they had been at the beginning.

Xue Ran frowned and quietly exchanged a few sound transmissions with Hei Lin, not knowing what they were discussing.

As for the group of Asura Spider clansmen outside the magic array, their faces were even paler, in a state of beginning to collapse.

The woman saw all this in her eyes and became extremely anxious.

If she still could not retrieve the treasure from the pool under these circumstances, there would likely be no possibility of doing so in the future.

Thinking of this!

This Asura Spider Matriarch secretly steeled her heart, suddenly slapped her crown with one hand, and with a flash of cyan-green light, a foot-long jade spider flew out from it.

This spider was crystal clear with green light, but its compound eyes on both sides had purple flames flickering eerily. As soon as it appeared, it opened its mouth toward the space above the cold pool. A fist-sized cyan light was spat out, vaguely wrapping a white crystal core inside. After a flash, it sank into the funnel-shaped cloud and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Han Li and the others all felt a chill in their hearts.

This woman had released her natal crystal core; it seemed she really intended to risk everything.

After the cloud inhaled the crystal core, a loud rumbling sound erupted within it. A piercingly bright light rolled down aggressively along the crystal threads.

The frost condensed on the crystal threads was driven away once more, and at the same time, the descent speed was more than ten times faster than before. After a short while, it sank several dozen zhang deeper before slowing down again.

Seeing this, the woman's face could not help but sink.

But just then, a light sigh from the girl came from the blood mist. After the mist rolled for a while, a silver pillar of light suddenly spat out, flashing and sinking into the cloud as well.

The rosy light rolling within the cloud immediately became even more intense, and the descent of the crystal threads accelerated once more.

But this time, after the five crystal threads sank another seven or eight zhang, they all trembled slightly and stopped moving.

"We've reached the bottom. Fellow Daoists, persist a little longer; I will now locate the exact position of the treasure." Seeing this, the woman's spirits were greatly lifted. She spoke rapidly, changed her hand seals, and closed her eyes.

A massive force of spiritual sense was released from the woman's brow, following the five crystal threads downward, instantly reaching the bottom of the cold pool and sweeping rapidly in all directions.

After a moment, joy appeared on the woman's face. She said, "Found it," opened her eyes immediately, and at the same time, pointed her finger repeatedly at the five crystal threads in the empty air, her incantations becoming urgent.

Almost at the same time, Han Li felt his internal magic power suddenly tighten, and it began to surge toward the stone pillar below at a speed more than double what it had been before.

He frowned, adjusted his internal magic power slightly, and stared fixedly at the surface of the cold pool.

At this moment, the five crystal threads first swayed, then trembled violently, emitting a humming sound as they were slowly pulled up into the cloud.

One inch, two inches, half a foot, one foot...

The speed was extremely slow, as if they had snagged something exceptionally heavy, appearing very strenuous.

And the originally calm water surface began to spin crazily. Amidst the loud rumbling, it formed an unfathomably deep, pitch-black whirlpool, as if it wanted to grind everything to pieces.

Only the five crystal threads remained standing straight in the center of the cold pool.

Bursts of cold air, several times stronger than before, surged out from the whirlpool, but they were all blocked by the surrounding restrictions.

Such a great momentum caused Xue Ran, Mo Jianli, and the others to be moved as well, and they all stared at this without blinking.

But the time taken to lift the crystal threads was even longer than the time taken for them to descend.

After an unknown amount of time, following a huge muffled sound from the whirlpool, a pale blue stone the size of a human head was finally pulled out by force, and at the same time, a strong fluctuation of laws emanated from it.

"Power of space."

Hei Lin felt the law power contained in the fluctuation and couldn't help but mutter with a flash of greed.

Although the power of space was not as mysterious as the power of time, powerful existences who truly mastered and were proficient in this law were few and far between.

Most Great Ascension existences could perform some feats like tearing through the void or teleporting their physical bodies across space, but most still relied on powerful true essence and some spatial treasures to achieve this level. Compared to existences truly proficient in the laws of space, they naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.

And a treasure that could allow one to comprehend the laws of space was naturally a rare treasure that was hard to come by for Great Ascension existences.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly and did not speak.

He himself could transform into a Heavenly Phoenix proficient in the power of space. If he wanted to comprehend the laws of space, as long as he was given enough time, he would naturally gain some insight, so he did not care about this treasure.

Xue Ran's gaze toward the blue stone also had a hint of heat.

Mo Jianli's expression remained calm as usual, seemingly unaffected by this stone containing the laws of heaven and earth.

However, just as Xue Ran and Hei Lin were both hesitating, the girl in the blood mist gave a low shout, raised one hand, and a cluster of crystal threads shot out. With a flash of cyan light, it wrapped the pale blue stone inside.

With a "Bang," the stone was thrown toward the blood-skirted girl like a crossbow bolt.

Xue Ran's expression remained uncertain, but the palm hidden in his sleeve curled slightly without him realizing it.

But just then, a cold gaze stared over like a blade, making his face feel a slight pain.

Xue Ran felt a chill and couldn't help but sweep a glance toward this gaze.

The Asura Spider Matriarch was staring at him with a sinister gaze, clearly carrying a hint of warning.

Xue Ran felt a slight shock in his heart. His gaze quickly swept over Han Li and Mo Jianli, and finding that both were standing calmly on the stone pillars without the slightest unusual movement, his thoughts turned rapidly. He squeezed out a smile on his face, and the fingers in his sleeve relaxed.

Nearby, Hei Lin saw this and felt some unwillingness in his heart, but he could only watch helplessly as the blue stone sank into the blood mist.

"Many thanks to you all for your help. This matter is a great success, and this treasure has finally fallen into our clan's hands." After the blood mist rolled and dispersed, the girl who had revealed her true appearance again held the pale blue stone in one hand and spoke with a hint of joy on her face.

"We have already helped you get the item. What about the remaining crystal cores?" Han Li had already slowly retracted his internal magic power, glanced at the object in the other's hand, and said indifferently.

"That is easy to say. Since you fellow Daoists have kept your promise, I naturally will not break the agreement." The blood-skirted girl smiled sweetly. After a flash of blue light in her hand, the stone disappeared, and another white jade box appeared, which she tossed toward Han Li with a shake.

With a "Swish," the gazes of Xue Ran and the others all fixed on the box.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he shook his sleeve, caught the jade box in his hand, and opened the lid.

"Not bad, your clan is indeed a trustworthy one. Fellow Daoist Xue, let's divide them." Han Li swept his gaze into the box and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Good, having obtained the remaining crystal cores, our purpose for this trip has been achieved, and we can finally truly set our minds at ease." Xue Ran laughed and said, rubbing his hands together.

Clearly, compared to the pale blue stone in the girl's hand, this thunder talisman that could reduce the power of the thunder tribulation was more important in his mind.

Hei Lin and Mo Jianli also found it hard to hide the hint of excitement on their faces.

Han Li smiled slightly, shook his sleeve lightly into the box, and immediately four crystal cores flew out, shooting toward the three of them respectively. RQ!!!
