Chapter 251

At this moment, Zhou Qing, who returned to the deck, rubbed his somewhat swollen eyes, also feeling distressed.

The physical body of a Soul Severance Demon Emperor, even a thigh, would be an unimaginable treasure if placed in the Taiqing Sect.

But.

And cutting weeds and eliminating roots also seems to be a manifestation of Six's personality.

Zhou Qing silently noted this down; it's better to provoke her less in reality in the future.

"Shameful!" Lu Yaoyao on the side said suddenly.

Zhou Qing chuckled, you don't know anything.

Your Shixiong just had a stroke of luck and obtained an innate divine ability from an ancient demon beast—the Void Spider—【Heavy Pupils】.

Didn't you hear what those two Demon Emperors said before? Maybe even the operating laws of a fifth-level array can be seen through at a glance. With this thing, he's simply like a tiger with wings.

In the future, whether it's refining, arranging, or repairing, he can prescribe the right medicine and get it done easily.

"Do you have an opinion?" Six, who had finished all this, looked at the Dragon Emperor lightly.

The Dragon Emperor's expression suddenly stiffened, waving his hands repeatedly, and he said righteously: "Senior killed well, killed wonderfully, killed excellently."

"This woman actually dared to play dirty against the Senior on my territory, obviously intending to drag me into the water. Such a vicious person really deserves to die."

Six turned around and instantly appeared on the flying boat in the air.

"I hate people who kick others when they're down!" After saying that, she controlled the flying boat to leave.

The Dragon Emperor looked sheepish, and only after watching the flying boat's figure disappear completely did he hurriedly wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

It was truly a walk through the gates of hell.

It seems he has to keep a low profile in the future, because you never know if the person you meet next time is a pig pretending to be a tiger.

However—

The Dragon Emperor's eyes soon lit up, and he immediately shouted: "All Demon Kings and Demon Commanders, assemble quickly! Before the Thousand Illusion Maze reacts, hurry up and attack it for me!"

In an instant, the entire Blood Prison Mountain was filled with Demon Qi, roaring non-stop.

On the flying boat, looking at Six who was still standing at the front of the deck, silent, Zhou Qing was full of joy.

Last time they met at Canglan Mountain, he gained three drops of Golden-Winged Peng essence blood and successfully cultivated the "Di Huang Jing".

Meeting this time, before they even reached their destination, he directly obtained the innate divine ability 【Heavy Pupils】 of the ancient demon beast, the Void Spider.

Speaking of which, you can also be considered my person of fate.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly moved to the side, leaning against the cabin wall of the flying boat, carefully condensing a mirror with spiritual power.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, calming his slightly excited mood.

With a thought, in an instant, another pupil slowly emerged in his originally pitch-black pupil. The double pupils were side by side, emitting a ghostly red light.

The two pupils reflected each other, fitting together, and strands of spiritual power flowed within them.

However, in the newly emerged second pupil, there seemed to be a strange spider phantom, full of ancient aura.

Seeing himself like this for the first time, Zhou Qing felt indescribably strange.

"Is this double pupils?" Zhou Qing only felt his heart beating uncontrollably.

As he looked around, the textures of the ordinary cabin walls now presented countless subtle spiritual power patterns.

Even the water vapor in the clouds outside the flying boat, its condensation, flow, and the faint spiritual power fluctuations contained within, were clearly displayed before his eyes.

Such a scene made Zhou Qing ecstatic.

It's just that it consumes a lot of spiritual power. This time, after a while, with his Soul Formation reserves, he had unknowingly consumed nearly half.

"It seems that if I really use it, I have to be careful!" Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

Just then, the flying boat suddenly dived downward.

"We're here!" Six said coldly.

Zhou Qing subconsciously looked at Six, but found that a layer of faint cold air permeated her body, as if it were a naturally formed defense.

It seems the Spider Emperor didn't die unjustly at all!

However, doesn't this 【Heavy Pupils】 allow one to see the essence of things? Why can't it see through her veil, or even her clothes...

Zhou Qing immediately slapped himself in the eye.

Filthy, truly filthy!

Because the consumption was too great, Zhou Qing hurriedly put away the Heavy Pupils, but suddenly, the flying boat came to a sudden stop.

Lu Yaoyao, who was looking down curiously, almost flew out due to inertia. Fortunately, Zhou Qing was quick-eyed and fast-handed, immediately pulling her back.

"That was close, that was close!" Lu Yaoyao patted her small chest, her face full of lingering fear.

Zhou Qing was speechless.

You're at the Soul Formation stage, even if you fell, you wouldn't break an arm.

Afterwards, the two looked at Six, only to see her furrowing her brows, looking extremely displeased.

The two looked down along her gaze and were stunned.

What appeared below at this moment was a vast, boundless deep blue ocean, on which countless islands were scattered like stars.

Every island here was vast and wide, with undulating mountains and dense forests.

Zhou Qing remembered that the Shengwu Dynasty faced the sea on one side and bordered a third-level cultivation nation and a fourth-level cultivation nation on the other two sides.

And the remaining south side, which is the current area, is in direct contact with the Endless Demon Mountain.

It's just that he didn't expect that after passing through the Dragon Emperor's Blood Prison Mountain, there would actually be an inland sea area here, which is quite wonderful.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is, on an island below, a man was sitting cross-legged.

When he saw the man's appearance, Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed, because he recognized this person.

The first time in the Peng Emperor's cave, when he used the 【Corpse Touching Post】 to touch Situ Jiuyao's corpse, he had substituted into the other party's vision and seen Six, who had just condensed eight thousand spiritual seals, as well as another man.

This person had condensed more than nine thousand spiritual seals at that time, seemingly even more powerful than Six, especially with eyes full of admiration for Six.

And last time in the Shenxu Tiangong, Six probably thought this person was Number One. After all, not many people knew about her living habits and her visit to Situ Jiuyao.

Zhou Qing guessed that Six should have gone to find this person to verify.

"Soul Severance stage, fourth-level array master!" This was Zhou Qing's guess.

At this time, Six furrowed her brows, and a layer of cold air continuously permeated her body, as if checking something.

But after checking a circle, she found nothing. After a brief hesitation, her brows furrowed slightly, and she immediately controlled the flying boat to go down.

"Why are you here? Are you following me?" As soon as Six landed, she asked directly.

The man also slowly opened his eyes, showing surprise, then laughed: "Hanyi, what a coincidence. Why did you come here too?"

Hearing this, Six's eyes narrowed instantly, the cold air around her became more intense, and strands of ice crystals spread rapidly under her feet.

Seeing this scene, the man hurriedly stood up, his expression slightly embarrassed, coughed, and said: "Ever since you broke through to the late stage of Soul Severance, you ran over for no reason to spar with me and even beat me into serious injury."

"Without even an apology, I have to know the reason. Don't worry, after following you here and seeing you leave in a hurry, I've been guarding here for you."

Hearing the man's words, Six's expression was extremely displeased.

Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao looked at each other and subconsciously looked at her.

Hanyi?

Is this her name?

It's just that he didn't know her specific surname, otherwise he could have bound her directly, just in case.

After all, his innate skill 【Heart Mirror Vision】, since reaching level five, had six more slots for binding.

Now, he had only bound Sikong Yan and Lin Jin.

"Yo, is this your apprentice? In Tianyun, countless people want to be your apprentice but can't. I didn't expect you to take an apprentice in such a remote place?"

The man seemed to feel a bit embarrassed, hurriedly shifted his gaze, and looked back and forth at Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao.

Especially Lu Yaoyao, he felt the same cold aura as Hanyi's.

Six didn't answer, her eyes like cold pool water, staring at the man.

It could be seen that being followed made her very unhappy.

"You have a love rival!" Lu Yaoyao suddenly transmitted her voice secretly.

Zhou Qing's expression stiffened instantly, hurriedly responding: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I am Yan Sen. May I ask how the two of you are called?" Yan Sen was warm, bowing slightly, his posture elegant, looking polite.

For some reason, Zhou Qing had a feeling that under this man's seemingly gentle appearance, there was actually an unknown sharpness hidden.

"Zhou Qing!"

"Lu Yaoyao!"

The two had to return the courtesy. After all, no matter what, as a Soul Severance expert, he was greeting them with enthusiasm.

Hearing this, Yan Sen's smile became even brighter: "So it's Young Friend Zhou and Miss Lu. Nice to meet you."

Afterwards, seeing that he had no common language with the two, Yan Sen had to smile sheepishly and look at Six again.

But when he met those cold eyes, he couldn't help but shiver, immediately thick-skinned, patting his chest to guarantee.

"Hanyi, don't worry, we grew up together. Since you discovered this place first, I, Yan Sen, will never touch it. If you want me to leave..."

"Leave!" Six said.

Yan Sen: "..."

"I mean, this mystical realm seems extraordinary, I can stay and help you," Yan Sen said.

Six walked straight ahead and said: "Not needed."

Yan Sen hurriedly chased after her: "Look at what you're saying, we are both fourth-level array masters, and I have comprehended two thousand more spiritual seals than you. Maybe..."

Watching the two walk further and further away, Lu Yaoyao hurriedly gathered around and started transmitting her voice.

"I don't like this guy. He always gives me the feeling of a smiling tiger!" Lu Yaoyao said.

Zhou Qing felt the same way.

But he still looked at Lu Yaoyao solemnly and said: "Be careful what you say in the future. People like this are the most petty, especially since he's at the Soul Severance stage. The strength gap between us is too big. If you're not careful, you'll bring trouble upon yourself."

Lu Yaoyao stuck out her tongue, but still nodded obediently, saying: "I know, I know. Better to offend a gentleman than a villain, right? I'll be careful."

But soon, she seemed to think of something and said: "Zhou Shixiong, Big Sister is called Hanyi. Don't you think that name sounds good?"

Zhou Qing nodded, his face without much expression.

The name Hanyi indeed carried a unique charm, fitting the temperament Six radiated.

The two followed silently.

This island didn't seem to have any demon beasts gathered. Along the way, the surroundings were depressingly quiet, with only the sea breeze blowing through the forest, making the leaves rustle.

Until they arrived at the center of the island.

The terrain here rose suddenly, forming a sunken basin.

And in the center of the basin, a pool of ghostly green lake water lay quietly, like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky.

And Six and Yan Sen also stopped at the edge of the lake water.

Anyway, there were many slots, so just in case, Zhou Qing immediately aimed at Yan Sen and bound him.

Soon, the 【???】 on his head slowly turned into a line of golden notes—【Ant】!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing chuckled in his heart.

Sure enough, but he understood.

A Soul Severance expert from a mysterious fifth-level cultivation nation, seeing a Soul Formation expert from a remote area for the first time, that's how he would see him.

Maybe some early-stage Soul Severance experts were just slightly larger ants in his eyes.

"Big Sister's surname is Shen, Shen Hanyi. It really sounds good!" Just then, Lu Yaoyao said excitedly via transmission.

Zhou Qing was stunned and asked: "How do you know?"

Lu Yaoyao said: "Didn't you hear that Yan Sen kept saying things like 'Father Shen is worried about you'? It's obvious her surname is Shen."

Zhou Qing hadn't really listened carefully to this.

If so—

Zhou Qing looked directly at Six and said in his heart: "Bind Shen Hanyi."

Soon, the 【???】 on Six's head quickly turned into the three words 【Person of Fate】.

Zhou Qing shook his head with a smile; it was about what he expected.

Looking at the flattering Yan Sen, the two walked up.

"This barrier is quite interesting. If there's no correct way to enter, I'm afraid all one sees is a pool of lake water. Hanyi, how did you discover it?"

Yan Sen asked Six with a smile.

Six's expression was flat, responding: "You followed me all the way, I don't believe you didn't see it."

Her voice was cold, without a hint of temperature, extremely dissatisfied with Yan Sen's stalking behavior.

Although she said so, Six still took out the beast skin scroll.

Long ago, the old Old Peng Wang had a late-stage Soul Severance cultivation. According to the notes left in his storage bag, he had only surveyed the outer layer of this ruin.

Deeper inside, barriers were everywhere, and dangers abounded.

At that time, a great opportunity seemed to appear in the Eastern Region of the Lingyun Mansion, attracting experts from all sides.

After weighing the pros and cons, the old Old Peng Wang chose to hide this place and then followed some semi-pure-blood demon beasts to go there.

Who could have expected that this trip would become a road of no return, ultimately leading to his fall there.

Time passed, and the sea turned into mulberry fields.

The former plains rose into high mountains, and several former third-level cultivation nations were re-granted ownership by the Imperial Alliance due to the rise of the Shengwu Dynasty.

And the reason she came here was because the notes recorded that the old Old Peng Wang had seen a strange divine medicine in this ruin.

That divine medicine was still very young back then, so the old Old Peng Wang didn't pick it rashly.

Now that so many years have passed, she thought that divine medicine should have matured.

In the Shenxu Tiangong, thanks to Number One's help in simulation and teaching her fourth-level array techniques, she successfully obtained one of the shape-shifting divine medicines, 【Ice Glazed Bingli Lingque Zhi】.

She was full of hope that this divine medicine could save her younger brother, but the result was unsatisfactory. Although her brother's body woke up, his primordial spirit was still sealed in his body.

And the only way to save her brother was to find a shape-shifting divine medicine, any one would do.

For this, she ran through all the surrounding cultivation nations but found nothing.

Even if she went deep into forbidden areas to explore, she only saw that 【Ice Glazed Bingli Lingque Zhi】.

In other places, let alone entering in reality, even trying in a simulated environment was a desperate situation with ten deaths and no life.

After all, shape-shifting divine medicines in this world are too rare.

Looking at the beast skin scroll, Yan Sen's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't say anything more, but a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.

Six suddenly turned to look at Zhou Qing: "You come here!"

Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao hurriedly went up.

Six said solemnly: "There is a six-colored barrier here. I can't solve it. If we attack it by force, it might permanently seal this entrance."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Sen's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were even a bit panicked.

Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao were full of surprise.

Such an ordinary pool of water actually hid a six-colored array. Is this something that can appear in a fourth-level cultivation nation area?

No, this place is no longer an area that the Shengwu Dynasty can manage, but belongs to the demon beast's sphere of influence.

Six continued: "The old Old Peng Wang was not an array master. When he found this place back then, he used some special means to integrate himself with the array entrance."

"It can be said that he is also a gatekeeper, so I thought about using his essence blood to see if it could be opened. Unfortunately, it has already been refined by you."

"Now, the divine ability you comprehended also originates from him, so I brought you here to try your luck!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing finally understood.

He had to say, the old Old Peng Wang was amazing back then. If you can't beat them, join them, right?

He still remembered that deep in the abyss, after he burned three sticks of incense to worship him, his remaining divine sense transformed and appeared.

That was an old man with a very gentle face, wearing a smiling expression.

He even praised him for being able to bow to him, showing that he was a polite and kind-hearted person. He could die in peace by handing over what he left to such a junior.

And Yan Sen looked at Zhou Qing curiously.

Hearing this, is this person not Hanyi's apprentice?

"In a moment, I will activate the array first, and then you can try!" Six looked at Zhou Qing and instructed seriously.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, indicating he understood.

Afterwards, he hurriedly pulled Lu Yaoyao to hide a bit, until he saw Six's jade hand lift slightly, and terrifying spiritual power surged around her.

Ten thousand spiritual seals flashed out, accompanied by the formation of an ice dragon, and the spiritual seals instantly merged into it.

The ice dragon raised its head to the sky, let out a deafening roar, and then dived down.

The next moment, the originally calm lake surface actually rippled with light, and was drawn into a vortex, forming a huge whirlpool.

The whirlpool spun faster and faster, making a low rumbling sound.

Immediately following, from the center of the whirlpool, a thick six-colored beam of light shot into the sky, the colors intertwining, dazzling, breaking through the clouds, emitting a majestic aura that made people's hearts tremble.

And under the reflection of the array, the surrounding scenery began to become distorted and blurred, replaced by what seemed to be another world.

Lu Yaoyao, hiding far away, widened her eyes in shock, staring straight at this scene.

Is this a six-colored array?

It's truly magnificent!

Especially Zhou Qing, who was deeply shocked. As a second-level array master, he could clearly perceive the massive spiritual seal structure contained in this array.

And the one thousand spiritual seals he mastered were simply like a drop in the ocean in front of this six-colored array, too small to be worth mentioning.

"Eh~"

Soon, he saw something flickering in a corner of the array.

He looked closely and saw a phantom of an old man slowly emerging.

The old man was wearing a simple long robe, with golden hair, a kind face, but his eyes revealed a sense of vicissitudes and wisdom.

His body was almost semi-transparent, appearing and disappearing under the reflection of the six-colored light, as if he could dissipate at any time.

This was almost no different from the appearance of the old Old Peng Wang he saw under the abyss of Canglan Mountain.

However, at this time, he looked like a loophole in this six-colored array, because the spiritual power in the area where he was actually produced a trace of disorder.

Even the rhythm of the light's circulation was slightly stuck, as if his existence interfered with the normal operation of the array.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that if they wanted to break the array, this old man might be the key.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing didn't know why, but the word "sneaky" couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Even looking at the old Old Peng Wang's smug appearance, besides admiration, he also wanted to laugh a little.

But suddenly, the six-colored light on the light beam began to shrink rapidly and gathered toward the central area.

Then a extremely violent beam of light headed straight for Six.

Six's originally cold face changed color, and she decisively let go.

Her hands formed seals quickly, and in the blink of an eye, thick ice walls were built in front of her.

These ice walls were layered, runes flashing, emitting a bone-chilling cold.

As soon as the ice walls were formed, the beam of light containing violent power slammed into them.

In an instant, a loud noise resounded through the sky, and a dazzling strong light instantly submerged Six's figure.

The powerful impact compressed the surrounding air into ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the ground was lifted with layers of dust, and trees were uprooted.

Zhou Qing didn't hesitate, immediately transformed into a Golden-Winged Peng, opened his golden wings to protect Lu Yaoyao inside.

He didn't know how long it had been, but when the two carefully looked out again, they saw those ice walls had long since turned into countless ice shards scattered on the ground.

Six was still standing in place with messy hair, and a faint crimson on her veil looked particularly eye-catching.

"Hanyi, are you okay?" Yan Sen hurriedly removed the black barrier in front of him and rushed over anxiously, full of worry.

Six seemed to have lost her soul, staring blankly at the messy scene in front of her.

Afterwards, a monstrous anger suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart, her eyes instantly turned red, and her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

Suddenly, she turned her head, and her cold, bone-chilling gaze locked directly onto Yan Sen.

Yan Sen stopped immediately, full of guilt.

"You, you don't be angry first. I didn't know that after attacking by force, this array would lock up. I also had good intentions, waiting to give you a surprise after breaking the array!"

Yan Sen hurriedly defended.
