Chapter 290: Sword Witch
Seeing Xu Qing like this, Immortal Zixuan felt it was more interesting the more she looked.
She had seen many people in her life. It wasn't that there weren't any as beautiful and shy as the little friend in front of her, but she didn't pay attention when she was young. Now, for some reason, seeing this type, she wanted to tease them.
So she slowly approached Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's body was stiff, his scalp was numb, and his breathing became rapid in this tension.
His body couldn't move. Under that huge pressure, his soul was shaking, especially as Immortal Zixuan got closer and closer, until that peerless face was next to Xu Qing's side profile.
The fragrance from Immortal Zixuan, with the freshness after bathing, permeated Xu Qing. As he had to inhale it into his body with every breath, Xu Qing's complexion also became pale with tension, and he could even hear his own heartbeat.
It was really because this was completely different from the female disciples he had encountered before.
This scene made Wu Jianwu feel like a thunderbolt had fallen into his sea of consciousness, making him dazed and producing a doubt. He felt that perhaps Chen Erniu and Xu Qing calling him from thousands of miles away was just to let him see this scene.
This scene made his heart sour. He felt that he actually wanted to see the Profound Heaven Ancient Emperor more.
And that old man with six heavenly palaces had a normal expression, still respectful, lowering his head and not looking sideways.
Only the Captain had a rich inner world at this moment.
"Little Ah Qing, Senior Brother also had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. That hairpin was also very expensive. Everything is for your own good. It's just that ginger is still spicy when it's old. After taking my hairpin, she still came so late..." The Captain blinked, feeling even more distressed about the spirit stones he had spent.
"It would have been better if she came earlier..."
While the Captain was sighing, Xu Qing's mind was somewhat blank. Until the next instant, Immortal Zixuan blew a breath of air gently into Xu Qing's ear.
This hot air fell on Xu Qing's ear, like a lightning bolt directly striking his body, making Xu Qing's body shake, as if he had a feeling of being at a loss for the first time in his life.
This scene made Immortal Zixuan quite happy, and she let out a laugh.
Her laughter was like an oriole coming out of a valley, round and moist, making everyone who heard it feel intoxicated.
In the laughter at this moment, she moved her body away. In front of Xu Qing, she lazily stretched her waist. The charm unintentionally revealed was full of amorous feelings.
It seemed that teasing the little friend was just a hobby she used to adjust her mood on weekdays. After the teasing ended, she took out a token, pinched it with two fingers, placed it in Xu Qing's arms, and patted it gently.
"Little friend, take my token, you can go deeper into this land of creation." Saying this, Immortal Zixuan laughed lightly, turned and walked onto the sky, like a fairy returning to the palace, scattering countless fragrances, walking further and further away.
Only in a place where no one could see, Immortal Zixuan shook her head gently while walking.
"Seeing such a cute little guy on the outside, I can't help but want to tease him. This habit needs to be changed. It's a pity... smelling the blood on his body, it has already reached his bones. Hidden under the cute appearance is endless malevolence. I think he is not a person with light in his heart."
Until Immortal Zixuan left, Xu Qing's body recovered as usual. After breathing heavily for a few times, he suddenly raised his head and looked silently at the Captain.
The Captain felt a bit of a chill in his heart from being looked at by Xu Qing, so he coughed.
"Let's go in quickly. This cost money, and now the time is starting to count!" After speaking, he stepped into the vortex first, his speed very fast, fearing that Xu Qing would attack directly.
Wu Jianwu on the side was still dazed.
He looked at Xu Qing, his expression somewhat dazed, and then looked up at the place where Immortal Zixuan left, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Xu Qing didn't pay attention to Wu Jianwu. He stared at the Captain's disappearing figure, gritted his teeth and kept this matter in his heart, turned and walked into the vortex. Seeing that both of them had entered, Wu Jianwu took a deep breath and muttered in a low voice.
"We cultivators should not be close to female colors. Female colors are of no benefit to cultivation, disturb people's hearts, and add trouble, especially being clingy. We cultivators should set our ambitions to travel far in life, so that we can achieve hegemony. This is what the Profound Heaven Ancient Emperor once said..." Wu Jianwu originally approved of this statement extremely, but now his heart was a bit shaken.
But his Dao heart was firm, and he soon recovered, his eyes revealing persistence, and he stepped into the vortex.
As the three of them walked into the vortex one after another, soon a heaven and earth isolated by seals appeared in front of them.
This place was very large, with mountain ranges undulating in circles.
The sky was formed by formations, and the earth was built by restrictions. Its overall size looked similar to the main city of the Seven Blood Children in the former Nanhuangzhou.
In the middle position, within the circle of mountain ranges, there was a huge lake.
The water of the lake was blood-colored, as if formed by flowing blood.
Standing in the lake was a huge pillar, which seemed to support heaven and earth. It was pitch black, with flashes of lightning moving on it. While shocking, it contained an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.
As if it had existed for countless years, witnessing countless histories.
At the top of this pillar, one could see a thick chain, carved with formation marks, emitting terrifying fluctuations. And what was locked by this iron chain was actually a huge bone snake!
This bone snake had a very long body, coiled around the surroundings with the pillar as the center, turning into the mountain ranges of this place, with the innermost circle surrounding the lake.
It was huge and shocked the mind.
And the location of the snake head was on that huge pillar, looking as if the mountain range was spreading from one side in mid-air.
The snake head was ferocious, without flesh and blood, leaving only black bones, seemingly carrying unwillingness before death. Its big mouth was open, revealing sharp teeth.
One could see that on the big tooth on the front right, there was still a trace of golden withered blood.
And it was this trace of golden blood that emitted a momentum that shook the sky and earth, rumbling through the nine heavens.
This momentum carried dominance and nobility, enough to make anyone who saw it have a rumbling mind and an unstable soul.
Everything was very similar to what was carved on the mural. The difference was that the feeling formed by seeing it with one's own eyes was far greater than just looking at the mural.
Especially the terrifying aura of the nail, and the pressure that still existed after the bone snake died, made the three of Xu Qing all change their expressions and their heartbeats accelerate.
The Captain's eyes were even straighter, staring straight at the tooth in the snake head that was stained with a trace of golden dry blood, his breathing intense.
"I'm too stupid. Why do I always think about the treasures outside? I didn't expect that there would be such an object within the Alliance!"
"Could that be the blood of the Profound Heaven Ancient Emperor!"
" "
Xu Qing didn't pay attention to that tooth. After his gaze swept across the four directions, the focus of his feeling was the dense soul power contained in this place.
The density of this soul power was as if it had turned into a soul sea, making Xu Qing's Malevolent Fire Soul-Swallowing Scripture begin to operate on its own, pulling a trace of soul power into his body.
"This place is indeed a land of creation for opening magic apertures!" Xu Qing was moved, but he didn't act rashly. Instead, he looked around from mid-air and continued to observe.
The focus of his attention was the cultivators present in this place. There were not only the three of them here. Whether it was the disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect itself or disciples of other sects, there were always those who spent spirit stones to practice here.
Especially the Profound Heaven Sect, they couldn't be at the same price as the disciples of other sects. Clearly, they had more ways to obtain the qualification to enter. So, among the dozens of people in this place that Xu Qing's gaze swept over, the Profound Heaven Sect disciples accounted for the majority.
These people were sitting cross-legged, all practicing. And Xu Qing saw that the vast majority were on the outermost circle of mountain ranges formed by the bone snake, with few approaching the core.
This made Xu Qing think of the token given by Immortal Zixuan.
Clearly, practicing in this place, the closer to the core, the denser the soul power.
However, Xu Qing weighed it. Even if he went to the core, three days of time would not be enough to support him in opening ten magic apertures. To open ten magic apertures, it would take at least a month in this place.
In addition, if the soul power required for the subsequent magic apertures increased, a month would probably not be enough.
"Not that many spirit stones..." Xu Qing turned his head to look at Wu Jianwu. The Captain's gaze also fell on Wu Jianwu swiftly while gasping.
Whether the two of them could achieve their goals depended on the degree of stimulation Wu Jianwu had on this demon snake.
At this moment, Wu Jianwu was trembling.
From the moment he walked out of the vortex and stepped into this place, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement, his eyes revealing unprecedented light, staring straight at the huge heavenly nail pillar.
On it, a poem was carved.
Xu Qing had noticed it before, and it was a bit different from what was carved on the mural, but he didn't pay attention to it. But in Wu Jianwu's eyes, this was the source of his longing.
There was no need for Xu Qing and the Captain to urge him at all. In this trembling, he slowly rose into mid-air, gazed at the poem, and muttered in a low voice.
"Heavenly nail suppresses snake demon, Emperor blood refines the universe!"
Xu Qing and the Captain's attention was highly concentrated, and they immediately sensed the surroundings, but there was no change in the surroundings, and everything was as usual.
"Ineffective?" Xu Qing sighed in his heart. He felt that he and the Captain had taken things for granted before. How could Wu Jianwu possibly attract the attention of the snake soul? Even if this snake soul had been sleeping for countless years, it wouldn't be so easily stimulated.
But the Captain clearly wasn't reconciled. He stared at Wu Jianwu, who was trembling in mid-air while savoring the Profound Heaven Ancient Emperor's poem, and spoke suddenly.
"Little Jianjian, imagine in your mind, the great Profound Heaven Ancient Emperor, he is wearing an imperial robe and an imperial crown, with a nine-layered canopy on his head and ten thousand rays of light all over his body, his whole person's momentum is earth-shattering. At this moment, he is walking from the endless sea. With one step, the sea sinks, and with the second step, the sea water forms a figure to kneel to him."
As soon as the Captain's words came out, Wu Jianwu's body shook violently.
"He took the third step and arrived at the Wanggu Continent. At that time, this place wasn't called Yinghuang Prefecture, but was controlled by a demon snake, and our human race's countless small countries were kept in captivity as blood food!"
"The Ancient Emperor was furious when he saw this. What was even more excessive was that this small sea snake actually bit the Ancient Emperor on the leg!"
When the Captain said this, Wu Jianwu's breathing was rapid, and this scene had already formed in his mind.
"The Ancient Emperor looked down with contempt, waved his hand to refine the five elements into a heavenly nail, directly suppressing this demon snake here, and before leaving, he casually wrote a poem!"
"Wu Jianwu, do you see this scene!!"
" "
Wu Jianwu's breathing was unprecedentedly rapid, and his body trembled more and more violently. In the scene formed in his mind, the Ancient Emperor walking from the sea gradually became his own appearance.
Even at this moment, his temperament changed unknowingly. It was really because Wu Jianwu liked to imitate the Profound Heaven Ancient Emperor the most, and had imitated him for many years, imitating him into his bones.
At this moment, under the Captain's depiction, he instinctively began to imitate. His complexion became gloomy, his expression became solemn, his eyes revealed contempt, standing in mid-air, sweeping the earth lightly, waving his sleeves, and speaking indifferently.
"A mere small snake bites this Emperor, be careful your teeth break and pierce your intestines."
As soon as his words came out, this place rumbled instantly. Faintly, it seemed that a roar came from countless years ago, carrying hatred, carrying ferocity, carrying madness, echoing in all directions, shocking the mind!
At the same time, in the forbidden land of the Eight Sect Alliance's Lingyun Sword Sect, there was also a roar that spread throughout the forbidden land's stone cave, carrying misery and even monstrous hatred.
"Xu Qing, I want to thank you properly. If it weren't for you keeping me between life and death, suffering torture until now, I, Saint Yunzi, could not have opened the one hundred and twenty-first magic aperture so quickly!"
As the roar echoed, Saint Yunzi rushed out from the blood pool in the cave, arriving in mid-air.
A large amount of blood flowed down from his body, revealing his strong physique and the peerless face under his red hair. It was just that his right eye had permanently turned pitch black, replaced by a golden crow hidden in the depths that outsiders could not detect.
This golden crow provided him with astonishing vitality to offset the poison in his body.
The moment the balance was reached, it also made Saint Yunzi find the one hundred and twenty-first magic aperture between life and death, opening it to form... five life fires. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
