Chapter 340 Xiang Zhili Appears Again
“No matter what their plans are, we can’t let the Ye family succeed!” said Old Demon Qian coldly.
"Brother Qian is right, but as far as I know, there are quite a few people from the Ye family coming this time. I'm afraid we have to unite!" Hua Wuqi suggested.
Hearing his words, Old Demon Qian narrowed his eyes immediately, chuckled sinisterly, and sent a message to Hua Wuji .
While the two were talking with their own hidden agenda, suddenly, a disciple of the Poison Saint Sect emerged from the soil and said with excitement on his face:
"Found it. It's twenty miles north of here, underground, and a crack has appeared in the barrier!"
Upon hearing this, Old Demon Qian burst into laughter, and then five white shadows fled downwards together. In the blink of an eye, they sank into the lake and disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go, we'll follow!" Hua Wuji immediately gave the order and flew towards the entrance with four fellow disciples from the Poison Saint Sect.
Ye Changsheng and the others were naturally unaware of the commotion happening outside. At the moment, they were staring at the old man named Fu who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cave, without blinking.
It would be more accurate to say that he was staring at the old man, or rather, he was staring at a golden cauldron in front of the old man. The cauldron was three feet off the ground, suspended in the air, and slowly rotating.
The old man surnamed Fu spewed out wisps of emerald green fire from his mouth. He made some unknown hand gestures with his hands and kept hitting the cauldron.
Every time a spell was cast on the cauldron wrapped in green fire, it created a five-colored glow, appearing gorgeous and colorful.
And bursts of medicinal fragrance were wafting from the cauldron, the aroma was mellow and tempting.
The old man's spells became faster and faster, and his expression became more and more solemn, and it was obvious that the elixir refining had reached a critical moment.
Han Li and others on the side had calm expressions on their faces, but they were a little nervous in their hearts.
The Yin Zhi Ma and some other rare materials have been thrown into the cauldron in the past few days. If the elixir in this cauldron is not successful, there will be no second Yin Zhi Ma to use for refining medicine.
Just as everyone was staring at the cauldron with different thoughts, the cauldron suddenly paused and stopped turning, and a buzzing sound came from it.
The medicinal aroma in the cauldron suddenly became three times stronger.
The old man surnamed Fu's eyes lit up, and the magic spells in his hands and the baby fire in his mouth paused at the same time. He turned his hand over again, and a small vermilion gourd appeared in his palm, about four or five inches in size.
The other hand flicked the middle finger, and with a "bang", a white light bullet hit the lid of the tripod.
As a result, the lid of the tripod trembled and slipped off.
The humming sound of the cauldron stopped, and immediately six fist-sized light balls shot out from it. In each light ball, there was a thumb-sized green ball, which was emerald green and sparkling.
After circling above the cauldron, these light balls scattered in all directions, trying to escape.
But the old man surnamed Fu, who had been prepared, hurriedly shook the gourd in his hand, and a ray of light spurted out from it.
After a flash of inspiration, all the light balls were swept up and stored in the gourd.
"Okay, it's done!" The old man then let out a long sigh, turned around, and said to everyone with a smile on his face .
"Thank you, Brother Fu!" Han Li said with a relaxed expression.
After hearing this, the old man surnamed Fu smiled and took out pills one by one from the gourd and distributed them to the beautiful woman in black, Bai Yaoyi and others.
He also said: "Fellow Daoists, it is best to use wooden objects to hold this elixir, otherwise the spirituality will be lost!"
After distributing it to several people around him, he chuckled and threw the entire gourd to Ye Changsheng.
"The two remaining pills here all belong to Brother Ye!" said the old man surnamed Fu.
Ye Changsheng reached out to take the gourd. Naturally, the others had no objection to this scene, as this had been agreed upon before.
Seeing him put away the pills, the smile on the old man surnamed Fu's face became even more intense, and his heart slowly settled down.
After the elixir was refined, he was really worried that Ye Changsheng would suddenly attack and kill him and his junior sister.
After all, he was no longer of any use at that time.
"Now that the elixir has been made, we should find a way out as soon as possible and explore this mountain at the same time. We may gain something else." The old man looked in the direction of the cave entrance and made a suggestion.
But as soon as these words came out, the whole cave suddenly shook slightly, and then a dull rumbling sound came faintly from the surrounding stone walls, continuously.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other!
"Are there other people in this mountain?" Bai Yaoyi bit her red lips and said in surprise.
"Maybe there are other people who have strayed in like us, but it's also possible that this thing exists in the mountain itself. We should be careful next time!" said the beautiful woman in black with some worry.
"Let's go, let's go out and take a look first!" Ye Changsheng stood up and looked towards the exit.
When everyone came outside, the rumbling sound had faded, but everyone present had extraordinary hearing, so they had naturally memorized where the sound came from.
"Instead of running around here like headless flies, why don't we go to where the sound is coming from!" Ye Changsheng suggested.
Hearing this, the old man surnamed Fu and the others looked at each other, looked at Ye Changsheng, and said: "That's good, with Brother Ye here, we don't have to worry about any accidents!"
"Haha, Brother Fu, don't have too high expectations of Ye. Fellow Taoists, you should be careful next time. In a place like this, who knows what powerful things may appear." Ye Changsheng laughed twice and reminded everyone.
He didn't need to say much, everyone present naturally knew what to do in such a place, and one by one they showed their methods and concealed their breath and figures.
However, in this place where spiritual consciousness is severely suppressed, the effectiveness of the concealment techniques seems to have been greatly reduced. Although everyone's means of concealment are very sophisticated, they still reveal many flaws.
Flying all the way, every place we passed was lush and green, full of spiritual energy.
Almost every place is an excellent place for cultivation in the human world. If it were placed outside, I wonder how many immortal cultivation sects would fight for it.
After flying for several hours, a large cloud of white fog appeared in front of everyone.
Ye Changsheng and Han Li's eyes flashed blue light, and they both saw what was behind the white mist.
"Let's go over there!" Ye Changsheng said, then increased his speed and flew forward.
The people behind him followed, and after passing through the white fog, a wide white jade staircase appeared in front of them, leading straight to the bottom of the mountain and up the mountain, with no end in sight.
Next to the steps in the mist, there stood a white stone tablet, about ten feet high and three feet wide.
There are only two ancient characters on the stone tablet, two huge golden characters written in a flamboyant style.
The moment they saw those two words, the old man surnamed Fu, Bai Yaoyi and others' faces changed drastically, with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
"Kunwu! Could this be the legendary Kunwu Mountain?!" the old man surnamed Fu blurted out, unable to conceal the surprise on his face.
"Yes, it must be Kunwu Mountain. In ancient times, this mountain was known as a fairy mountain. It was a holy place where ancient cultivators gathered to practice."
"But according to rumors, wasn't this mountain brought to the spiritual world by ancient monks, or sank into the underworld because of a fight between monks? How could it appear here?" Bai Yaoyi muttered to herself as she stared at the stone tablet, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Those are just rumors. It seems that the real situation is that this mountain has been sealed for some unknown reason. With the name of this mountain, there must be countless caves of ancient cultivators here. As long as we can find some, we will definitely gain a lot." The old man surnamed Fu recovered quickly, but his voice was full of surprise.
"Maybe, but judging from the fact that this mountain is sealed, those ancient cultivators should have prepared to leave the mountain. I don't think there would be too many useful things in those ancient cultivators' caves." Han Li shook his head and said calmly.
"I don't know if there are any treasures on the mountain, but looking at this stone tablet, it is quite extraordinary!" Ye Changsheng said as he patted the stone tablet in front of him.
Then, the palm of his hand that was pressed on the stone tablet instantly emitted a golden light. The stone tablet suddenly trembled violently and began to shrink rapidly in the golden light.
When he saw that it had shrunk to half of its original size, Ye Changsheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and noticed that something strange had happened on the stone tablet.
The seemingly ordinary bluestone stele suddenly hummed, and then emitted thousands of white lights.
Almost at the same time, Ye Changsheng suddenly felt it sink and fall downwards.
He exerted force with his hands and firmly grasped the stone tablet. At this time, the old man surnamed Fu suddenly exclaimed:
"Hey! The surface of this monument?"
The old man surnamed Fu pointed at the back of the stone tablet, his face full of surprise.
Ye Changsheng looked at the back of the stone tablet, and saw that the originally blank back of the stone tablet was actually broken into pieces, but in some deep cracks, there was a bright blue light flashing.
He raised his eyebrows and shook his palm. In an instant, stone chips flew everywhere and all the stones on the surface of the stele were scattered on the ground.
A deep blue crystal appeared in his hand. The crystal was several feet long, blue and extremely crystal clear.
The entire bluestone stele seemed to be just the thick shell of this crystal stone.
This is a misty blue crystal monument that appeared in front of everyone, with runes flowing on it and flashing faint blue light.
Ye Changsheng, who already knew what this crystal stele was, chuckled, and with a flash of light on his hand, he quickly shrunk the crystal stele and put it into his sleeve.
When the old man surnamed Fu, Han Li and others saw this scene, their eyes flashed but they said nothing.
Everyone had no objection to Ye Changsheng taking away the crystal monument.
Next, after Ye Changsheng took away the crystal stele, everyone continued to move forward.
Except for Ye Changsheng, the others naturally didn't know that the roar they heard was actually the sound of the Ye family's cultivators struggling to break the ban on the mountainside at an unknown height.
However, they were still very far away from the Ye family cultivators, so they had no idea what was going on above.
Moreover, between them and the Ye family cultivators, there was a restriction left by the Ye family cultivators to prevent later comers, which prevented the two parties from meeting quickly.
Now, a group of people from the Ye family are desperately attacking a huge archway that is vaguely visible on the stone steps ahead.
The archway that was attacked by them emitted thousands of rays of light on its own, and was able to take all attacks, as if it were a rare treasure itself.
"Third boy, how long do you think it will take to break through the Gate of Ten Thousand Cultivators?" The strange man looked at the archway in front of him that was wrapped in colorful spiritual light, turned his head and asked the white-robed scholar, with a hint of anxiety on his face.
"It will be almost done in one day. This archway is much more troublesome than I thought. No wonder the Wanxiu Gate had such a great reputation in the past." The Confucian scholar said unusually calmly.
"It's only one day. I hope the people behind us won't catch up too quickly!" said the big-headed monster with a sigh.
It seemed that he was much more enthusiastic and anxious about entering Kunwu Mountain than the great monk next to him.
"We have also set up powerful restrictions below. It may not be easy for those who come later to catch up quickly!" said the Confucian scholar calmly.
Just as the Ye family cultivators were trying their best to attack the restriction, a light suddenly flashed at a seemingly ordinary thick barrier high in the sky above the stone pavilion where they had rested. Then a head full of white hair stretched out, poking its head out, looking a little funny.
When this person found that there was no one here, he immediately jumped out from the barrier with a silver glow all over his body.
Then the man stepped on a huge disc, slowly flew towards the stone pavilion, landed on the top of the stone pavilion, and stood steadily.
He raised his head, revealing a wrinkled face but with small, round eyes.
Xiang Zhili!
"This is Kunwu Mountain. Wow, the spiritual energy here is indeed extraordinary."
"But who would dare to open this seal if he has nothing to do but eat? If that thing is released, does he want the entire Jin Dynasty to be buried with him? I am unlucky and I happen to be nearby. I can't pretend I don't know."
Xiang Zhili looked around for a moment and suddenly heard a faint roar. He could not help but jump up and down on the stone pavilion and curse, with a gloomy look on his face.
"Since you know it's unlucky to come here, you still dare to come. I admire your courage."
Just as Xiang Zhili finished cursing, a sweet female voice suddenly came into his ears.
This was an extremely beautiful sound, but when Xiang Zhili heard it, he suddenly felt cold all over, and all his blood seemed to freeze.
"Senior, you...you came out!" The old man swallowed his saliva and began to stutter.
There was undisguised fear in his eyes. The woman's voice actually made him, a cultivator standing at the top of the human world, feel fear.
"Come out? I have come out tens of thousands of years ago! But the three Kunwu elders used the strength of tens of thousands of people to set up this last layer of restriction. It is really impossible for me to tear it apart by myself."
"Otherwise, I would have gone out long ago. Why would I wait until now?" The woman's voice was still extremely gentle, but Xiang Zhili's face turned pale in an instant.
"Impossible! Under the suppression of the two all-powerful magic treasures, it is impossible for anyone in this world to break free from the Nine True Demon Subduing Formation."
"Besides, the seal has already cracked. If you have really escaped, you could have left the mountain long ago. Why are you still staying here? Most likely, you have only managed to break free with a trace of spiritual consciousness, and you want to scare me away." After Xiang Zhili was frightened, he immediately remembered something and his expression regained composure in the blink of an eye.
