Chapter 442: Mysterious Banner
In the spiritual world, the distribution of a top-grade spiritual vein can completely cause a life-and-death battle between two races.
At least, this is the case for the human race. If they lose their only top-grade spiritual vein, the human race will never recover.
In the best spiritual veins, the cultivation speed of low-level cultivators of all races will often be much faster. As a result, the proportion of high-level cultivators will also increase.
But no matter how good a spiritual vein is, it cannot compare to a piece of spirit-gathering jade.
After all, the top-grade spirit veins are too large and inconvenient to move, but the spirit-gathering jade can be carried with you, and you can transform any place into a top-level holy place for cultivation at any time.
In this case, it is self-evident how valuable this item is.
What surprised Ye Changsheng the most was that in that underground cave, the gold-eating insects found not just one piece of soul-gathering jade.
But it’s a full six pieces!
No wonder the rich spiritual energy in that place has turned into liquid.
When Ye Changsheng first received these six pieces of spirit-gathering jade from the gold-eating bugs, he was a little dazed.
If these six pieces of spirit-gathering jade are placed outside, they will probably attract the Mahayana masters from the big and super big clans to come and snatch them.
But here, it is buried in the yellow sand in obscurity, and no one knows about it.
"Fortunately, I let the gold-eating bug go in to take a look, otherwise I would have missed these things!" Ye Changsheng sighed in a low voice.
Then, he took out a few jade boxes, carefully sealed the spirit-gathering jades in them, and pasted talismans on the jade boxes to impose a ban.
When he becomes stronger in the future and returns to the human race, these spirit gathering jades will be of great use to him.
"What are you going to do next?" Bing Feng's voice came from the spirit beast bracelet.
"Let's go and meet up with those three people, but along the way, we can also explore this ruins!" Ye Changsheng said.
…
Ten days later, over a small lake about three or four miles in size with dark green mist in the sky, a man and a beast were fighting fiercely.
The dark hills kept falling down, terrifying blades of light were shot out from the bronze short spear, and silver firebirds were flying, setting off flames all over the sky.
The person who made the move was Ye Changsheng, and opposite him was a white fox with nine tails. The fox had dark green eyes, and its nine white tails were so flexible that they held up the dark mountain.
As his eyes flashed, scenes of extremely erotic illusions flashed before Ye Changsheng's eyes, constantly affecting Ye Changsheng's mind.
However, Ye Changsheng, who was used to big scenes, was too lazy to even look at this insignificant temptation.
Moreover, his spiritual awareness is extremely powerful, so it is difficult for him to be confused by such an illusion.
He activated one magic weapon after another and attacked the nine-tailed white fox in front of him.
This white fox was probably a cultivator at the fusion level when he was alive. Although the illusion that appeared here was less than one tenth of Ye Changsheng's power, it still caused Ye Changsheng a lot of trouble.
After exhausting all means, even sending out gold-eating bugs, Ye Changsheng finally broke through the white fox's defense.
Yuanci Mountain crashed down with a loud bang, and with a deafening sound, the phantom of the white fox was shattered and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Ye Changsheng put away his magic weapon, flashed his body, and dived to the bottom of the lake.
This lake looks ordinary, but it is bottomless. Ye Changsheng flew for a whole incense stick of time before he reached the bottom of the lake.
According to the rule that where there are fantasy beasts, there must be treasures, Ye Changsheng searched carefully.
Sure enough, there was a different world under the lake. A crystal palace stood tall at the bottom of the lake.
This palace covers an area of about tens of acres and is made entirely of crystals. It appears extremely colorful under the refraction of water light, giving people an unreal feeling that is both illusory and real.
A corner of the palace gate had been damaged, and the restrictions that originally existed here seemed to have been broken, as if someone had gotten there first.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng immediately became alert, slowly pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.
What appeared before my eyes was a corridor that was more than ten feet wide and was made of whole pieces of crystals of various colors. It looked extremely gorgeous and majestic.
On both sides of the corridor, crystal pillars about ten feet thick are neatly arranged, and various ancient animal patterns are carved on the stone pillars, which are extremely exquisite.
After Ye Changsheng carefully looked around, he walked forward with extreme caution.
The corridor was very quiet, without any presence of anyone, as if there was no one there.
But Ye Changsheng still walked forward step by step with the utmost caution, guarding against falling into any trap.
Even after he reached the end of the corridor and entered a hall, he still didn't see any human figure.
"No one?"
Ye Changsheng was a little surprised. It seemed that there were really no foreign cultivators here.
But the ban at the palace gate was clearly broken.
Could it be that the ban was broken by someone who came in ten thousand years ago?
But this is unlikely. If someone had come in earlier, the treasures here must have been taken away.
Then, after losing the spiritual objects, no more phantom beasts will form here.
Ye Changsheng looked around the hall, only to see that it was empty, with no one in it.
A puzzled look appeared on his face. He took a few steps forward and suddenly heard a soft voice behind him:
"Husband?!"
Hearing the voice, Ye Changsheng's body was shocked and he immediately turned his head to see a stunningly beautiful woman in white clothes behind him looking at him with surprise.
Nangong Wan!
"Husband, you finally come to see me!" Nangong Wan's face showed surprise, and she took a few quick steps and threw herself into Ye Changsheng's arms.
Ye Changsheng's expression was shocked, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hands, as if to greet Nangong Wan.
Nangong Wan's face showed joy when she saw this, and she moved closer to Ye Changsheng more tenderly. But when she got close to Ye Changsheng, suddenly a ball of silver flame flew out from Ye Changsheng's body, instantly submerging Nangong Wan in it.
"Husband, you have such a cruel heart!" Nangong Wan's face changed drastically upon seeing this. Her eyes were full of sorrow and she looked at him in disbelief.
The silver flames quickly engulfed Nangong Wan. At this moment, a voice full of horror and disbelief rang out from the side:
"Husband, what are you doing?!"
"Why did you do such a cruel thing to Sister Nangong?"
"Husband, have you forgotten us? Don't you want us anymore?"
"You have a new love in the spirit world, do you want to kill us?"
…
Voices of exclamation and grief rang in Ye Changsheng's ears. Yuan Yao, Senior Sister Chen, Zi Ling and others appeared one after another, crying and complaining with tears in their eyes.
Ye Changsheng's face turned cold, and silver flames swept across his body, burning all the women to ashes.
"Ye Changsheng! The devil from outer space! The intruder! Kill!"
A cold and ruthless voice suddenly sounded behind Ye Changsheng.
When he turned around, he saw a pair of golden eyes appearing behind him, staring at him coldly.
A golden spear shot out from the eye and rushed towards Ye Changsheng.
The spear seemed to be a punishment from heaven and earth, carrying an aura that made people dare not disobey. It seemed that no matter who they were, once they encountered this spear, they would no longer have the desire to resist it.
But Ye Changsheng just struggled for a bit, then his eyes became cold, he snorted lightly, and his eyes suddenly became weird.
A crystal light appeared from his eyes, condensed into a crystal light thread, flew out of his eyes, and crashed head-on into the golden spear.
"boom!"
The crystal thread collided with the golden spear, and a terrifying wave spread out, causing the entire hall to shake.
"Performing magic tricks in front of me?!"
Ye Changsheng snorted coldly, and crystal light burst out from his eyes, turning into two flying blades, rushing towards the golden eye.
“Crack!”
When the two flying blades hit the golden eyes, the golden eyes instantly shattered into pieces like shattered glass.
"boom!"
An invisible storm swept over, and Ye Changsheng felt that the world in front of him began to collapse. After a flash of white light, he found himself standing in the lake.
It was pitch black all around, with waves rippling in all directions, and in front of me were some remaining ruins.
There was no magnificent palace or colorful walls. All that appeared before his eyes was a broken fox statue.
The statue was already in a very broken state, and now it made a "crack! crack!" sound, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered into pieces.
A residual spiritual power also dissipated from the broken statue, and the entire statue became completely dim and turned into a pile of rubble.
"What happened just now ?" Bing Feng's somewhat doubtful voice came in his heart.
"Well... did you notice anything unusual just now?" Ye Changsheng's expression relaxed and he asked slowly.
“No… I only saw you dive into the bottom of the lake and come to this statue. You were stunned for a moment, and then I noticed that your consciousness began to fluctuate violently!”
"How long have we been here in front of this statue?" Ye Changsheng asked with a frown.
"It didn't take long. From the time you saw the statue to the time your spiritual consciousness began to fluctuate, it was only about a breath of time!" There was a hint of inquiry in Bing Feng's voice.
She had some kind of connection with Ye Changsheng, and she just noticed that in that short moment, Ye Changsheng's mood fluctuated violently.
Moreover, his spiritual consciousness suddenly became extremely terrifying, as if all the hidden spiritual consciousness was released at once, and he was fighting a fierce battle with something.
That terrifying fluctuation shocked Bing Feng immensely.
She guessed that Ye Changsheng must have encountered something the moment he saw the statue.
"So I fell into the illusion without knowing it? It's really scary. Fortunately, my spiritual sense is strong enough and I have practiced the Demon Seal!" Ye Changsheng thought with some fear in his heart.
The illusion just now was really hard to guard against.
And after thinking about it carefully, Ye Changsheng discovered that there was more than one level of illusion.
He encountered two things. The first was that he fell into the illusion of the colorful palace.
This illusion was only paralyzing his cognition, but it was not aggressive or dangerous at all.
This kind of illusion is the easiest to let down people's guard.
The second illusion is the appearance of Nangong Wan and others. This illusion is also very weak in attack and has a paralyzing effect.
If he fails to distinguish them, he will most likely fall into the third or fourth level of illusion...
The more you fall into a layer, the lower the possibility of escaping, and in the end you will probably die completely in the illusion.
Fortunately, his Demon-Suppressing Seal had a natural resistance in this regard, allowing him to discover the abnormality when he was at the second level and directly break through the illusion.
As for the golden eyes that appeared at the end, they should be a line of defense built by this illusion based on the most feared thing in people's hearts.
If you can't destroy the thing you fear the most, you may not be able to escape from the illusion.
It was also thanks to Ye Changsheng's extremely powerful spiritual sense that he broke through this invisible illusion.
This statue is really weird.
It seems that the nine-tailed fox killed outside was transformed by the spirit of this statue.
But now that the statue is destroyed, Ye Changsheng has missed out .
This is quite a pity.
But he did not gain nothing.
Ye Changsheng looked to the side, and Bing Feng also looked over there, and said with some confusion: "Who is this person... How did he die here? He looks like he didn't suffer any harm!"
Bing Feng was not pulled into the illusion because she was Ye Changsheng's spirit beast. However, if Ye Changsheng died in the illusion, she would certainly not be able to survive.
Just now, Ye Changsheng seemed to have experienced a long time in the illusion, but in fact it was only a moment, and Bing Feng had no time to remind him.
In other words, at that moment, Bing Feng hovered on the line between life and death.
If Ye Changsheng had not escaped from the illusion at that moment, Bing Feng would have died because of him.
Ye Changsheng looked at the corpse of an unknown race and said calmly, "I just encountered an illusion. This person must have failed to escape from the illusion, so he died!"
Taking two steps forward, Ye Changsheng arrived in front of the corpse and touched it lightly. The bones turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Under the environment here, no matter how powerful these things were in the past, they cannot withstand the erosion of ten thousand years!" Ye Changsheng said with some regret.
He looked at the storage bracelets, magic weapons, etc. that had fallen on the ground. All of these things turned into ashes as soon as they were touched.
There are several treasures among them, which, from Ye Changsheng's point of view, must be spiritual treasures, but they are still corroded and cannot survive here.
"Hey, this flag..."
Every time Ye Changsheng touched an object, it would immediately turn into ashes and disappear. Only when his hand touched a flag, the flag did not react at all.
Ye Changsheng exclaimed in surprise, picked up the flag and held it in his hand.
A cold feeling came over me. The flag was red all over, only about half a foot long. There was no spiritual light on it, only a few green spiritual patterns engraved on it.
"What is this?" Ye Changsheng showed a puzzled look on his face.
