650. Chapter 648: Abyssal Trial

He exuded a terrifying killing intent, his eyes full of bloodthirst.

Mo Di transformed into a true dragon's form and clashed with Xueying.

Su Liyan wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip and Ice Jade Chip, engaging in fierce battle.

Lu Yuan immediately deployed the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, manipulating the five elements into rays of light that protected himself and Zi Xi'er.

In the fierce battle, Lu Yuan continually employed profound immortal arts, trying to suppress Xueying.

The harmonious and agile Su Liyan used ice immortal arts and the Ice Jade Chip to provide Lu Yuan with great support.

At times lightning intertwined and exploded with a boom; at times ice and snow condensed, releasing a chill.

The two mutually responded, forming a resonance of strong defense and attack.

After experiencing a fierce melee, Lu Yuan and his companions finally repelled Xueying and his minions.

They successfully protected the Fu Shen Lu, preventing it from falling into evil hands.

After safely returning to Flowing Sand City, Lu Yuan entered the secret chamber in the Sea-Suppressing Pavilion again and began his closed-door cultivation.

The room was brightly lit, and a purple curtain embroidered with star patterns fluttered gently in the breeze.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion and placed the Fu Shen Lu before him.

This secret manual recorded many marvelous arts and techniques; he hoped to enhance his talisman way by comprehending its contents.

He read the obscure texts page by page, trying to integrate their theories into his unique cultivation rules.

During several days of painstaking closed-door study, Lu Yuan finally felt the enlightenment from the Fu Shen Lu.

The book records a talisman seal called the Star Transformation; this art relies on stellar power for layout and combat.

It can enhance offensive and defensive capabilities with stellar power.

Lu Yuan opened the interlaced golden talisman on his hand, and based on his understanding of the Fu Shen Lu's contents, began to condense talisman power.

He held his breath and focused; his mana surged, and the talisman in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light.

Meanwhile, the starlight in various parts of the room flickered unpredictably along with his cultivation.

Lu Yuan felt an unprecedented power surge into his body, as if stellar power swirled and gathered around him.

He realized he was mastering a new art.

At midnight, when Lu Yuan finally succeeded in casting his self-created Star Transformation talisman seal, a mysterious aura filled the entire secret chamber.

It seemed as if the stars resonated with his spirit, guiding his path forward.

The next morning, Lu Yuan left the secret chamber and found Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er in Flowing Sand City.

"Do you know that the Fu Shen Lu contains an art called the Star Transformation?"

Lu Yuan gazed sharply at the two of them.

Su Liyan asked in surprise, "Star Transformation? What kind of art is that?"

Lu Yuan smiled and explained, "The Star Transformation is an art that uses stellar power for layout and combat."

"It can infuse stellar power into the talisman, giving the talisman stellar power and agility."

"We can use it in upcoming battles to boost offense and defense, making us harder to defeat."

Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er nodded eagerly.

"Then let's try using the Star Transformation together to create our own miracles!"

Everyone said in unison.

Immediately afterward, Lu Yuan led Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er back onto the path of cultivation.

They came to an open area outside Flowing Sand City, ready to test the newly learned art.

Lu Yuan wore a green robe, held the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, and a huge star chart floated behind him.

Su Liyan wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip, while Zi Xi'er stood still beside them, holding an Ice Jade Chip.

Lu Yuan gazed at the vast sky ahead and began to manipulate the art he had comprehended—the Star Transformation.

Starlight shone in his pupils, and his powerful talisman power, after intricate circulation, burst forth as lively and strong energy.

Several beams of starlight streaked down from the sky, landing on Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan.

Their mana also surged, merging with stellar power.

Suddenly, a massive beam of starlight shot toward the ground, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day.

The Ice Crystal Long Whip became even more bone-chillingly cold, and the Ice Jade Chip emitted an even more icy aura.

Lu Yuan's Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword also emitted a lightning-like glow.

Everyone felt the power change from the newly learned art, and they stood up imposingly under the starlight.

The head of the Ziyun Clan, Zi Cui Ling, wore a splendid purple robe, her face beautiful enough to topple nations, her bearing noble.

She stood calmly in the central hall of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, gazing at Lu Yuan and the others.

"Lu Yuan, I've heard you have extraordinary accomplishment in the talisman way."

"I have an important task that requires your help," Zi Cui Ling said, her voice magnetic.

Lu Yuan blinked slightly; he knew the Ziyun Clan was one of the most prominent families in Heavenly Wind City, and he understood that Zi Cui Ling was a figure of high status and renown in the cultivation world.

"Please speak," he replied respectfully.

"I have obtained a clue about a treasure that can enhance spiritual power—the You Ming Zhu."

Zi Cui Ling stepped closer to Lu Yuan and handed him a bright white paper bearing the pattern of the You Ming Zhu.

Lu Yuan took the paper and examined it carefully.

"This is indeed a very precious treasure."

He frowned slightly, "But the You Ming Zhu is a legendary item that does not exist in the mortal world."

"Things are not simple."

Zi Cui Ling gave a bitter smile, "According to legend, in one of the Five Great Forbidden Lands, the Abyssal Land, there stands a huge Netherworld Divine Eagle statue, inside which the Netherworld Pearl is hidden."

"Only by overcoming various obstacles and obtaining the key to the secret chamber inside the statue can we acquire this treasure."

"The Abyssal Land?"

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, the word sending a chill down his back.

The Abyssal Land is a dangerous and unfamiliar place, filled with various dangers and the unknown.

Zi Xi'er gripped the cold jade ice shard, "We should go find the Netherworld Pearl; it will be a great aid on our cultivation path."

Su Liyan nodded in agreement.

"'Since the clan chief entrusted us with this task, we will surely give our all.'"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes firm.

"'Good!'"

"'Since everyone has decided to go to the Abyssal Land, let us join hands and venture into this unknown world together!'"

After the group returned to the secret chamber of Lei Huo Dan Ge for a brief period of secluded cultivation, they immediately set off for the Abyssal Land.

On the way, Lu Yuan led the team, while Mo Di guarded their rear.

Finally, they arrived at the legendary Abyssal Land.

Here was utter darkness, with a biting cold.

Lu Yuan felt his soul tremble, his whole body's mana taut.

In a cave hiding a huge Netherworld Divine Eagle statue, the group tiptoed through. (End of chapter)
