Chapter 1971 Tomb Chamber
The originally dark underground space was illuminated by the colorful glow of the gorgeous palace, becoming like daylight.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin stood below, looking up, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
“I didn’t expect that the Queen Mother of the West, who was so powerful back then, is now buried in such an inconspicuous place.”
Wuxin murmured to himself, then became a little confused and looked around. He said softly: "Liang Yan, do you feel it?"
"Yeah."
Liang Yan nodded.
Ever since he approached the palace, he felt an invisible suppressive force that prevented the spiritual power in his body from flowing. It was not obvious at first, but as the distance to the palace grew closer, This repression is getting stronger and stronger.
"What's going on? There are obviously no restrictions here, why can't mana be used?" Wu Xin frowned.
“The answer may lie above.”
Liang Yan pointed to the palace above.
Wuxin looked in the direction he pointed and found four stone pillars standing around the palace. Different monsters were carved on each stone pillar, some were shaped like goshawks, and some were like red beasts. Most of the pigs are ferocious and look down with cruel eyes.
“These stone pillars are very unusual, they can actually block our spiritual power!” Wuxin said in surprise.
"It is estimated that this is the last defensive restriction left by those eight people. It seems that Demon Lord Qingyun did not destroy it, but used a trick to pass it." Liang Yan said slowly.
"Yes, there is no other way here. They must have entered the palace. However, this palace is suspended high in the sky, and our spiritual power is sealed. How can we get up?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan did not speak, but fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he suddenly said: "Do you still remember the eight statues you saw before?"
"Of course you do."
"Those eight statues?" Not all people are from the human race. One of them is a monk from the demon race, whom we met before. The Zerg Clan, Giant Spirit Clan, Blood River Clan, etc. are all different. They should be the ancestors of the Shadow Clan or the Void Clan."
"Yes, that's true." Wuxin thought for a while and said." Do you suspect that this last restriction was placed by the demon monk?”
"That's right."
Liang Yan nodded, narrowed his eyes and said: "If I guessed correctly, the magical power practiced by this demon clan Yasheng is specifically to restrain the movement of spiritual power, and Demon Lord Qingyun can board Getting to this palace may not rely on spiritual power.”
“No. Spiritual power? Is it the demon power of the demon clan? Even if he can swallow the power of the law, he doesn't have the original demon power, right?"
"Hehe, he doesn't have it, maybe his companions do."
“You mean Wu Changqing?”
"No."
Liang Yan shook his head, his eyes flashing.
“After conquering Cloud-Stepping Pass, I searched Xue Ju’s soul and learned that a monk named ‘Bitter Bamboo’ had come to him and wanted to borrow his Ten Thousand Demons Banner for use once. That Bitter Bamboo was A demon cultivator escaped without a trace before the city was destroyed. I am afraid he is not from Beiming."
"Do you suspect that he is an accomplice of Demon Lord Qingyun?"
" Not bad! ”
Liang Yan said slowly: "As a descendant of the traitor, Wu Changqing must know what is inside the tomb, so he made full preparations before entering this place. He wanted to get the Ten Thousand Demons Banner before, maybe just for Faced with the restrictions here, I finally got the Ten Thousand Demon Banners, and they had no choice but to find other alternatives."
Wuxin's expression changed when he heard this. He was happy and said with a smile: "With your analysis, it is really possible! However, our spiritual power has been sealed, so we have to call the civet cat to come out to help."
"Xiaosong was seriously injured, and now he is still alive." I haven’t woken up yet, let’s let Lao Jin give it a try.”
After saying that, he reached out and patted the Taixu gourd on his waist, but saw a flash of light, and Lao Jin’s figure appeared in front of the two of them.
In the previous battle in Wusheng Valley, Li Xiaosong resisted the alien army and more than a dozen Huajie elders, and was the most seriously injured, so he remained unconscious. On the contrary, Lao Jin and Zhao Xunzhen, whose cultivation levels were not as good as hers, were not seriously injured.
"Lao Jin, I'll teach you the formula to activate the Ten Thousand Monsters Flag. You can try to take us into the palace above."
Liang Yan said and handed the Ten Thousand Monsters Flag into Lao Jin's hands.
“I’ll try my best.”
Lao Jin didn’t say much, took the Ten Thousand Demons Banner and unfolded it.
He closed his eyes and muttered something in his mouth, and a pale golden glow soon appeared between his eyebrows, and entered the Ten Thousand Demon Banners under his spell.
Original demonic power!
Liang Yan knows that this is the original demon power that every demon clan has. Although the demon cultivator has learned the cultivation techniques of the human race and has spiritual power flowing in his body, the original demon power is innate to them. Yes, many natal magical powers rely on this demonic power to activate.
Lao Jin injected his demonic power into the Ten Thousand Demons Flag, and he quickly reacted. A faint golden light flowed out from the flag, wrapping all three of them in it.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.
"As expected! It seems that these four stone pillars only suppress spiritual power, but not demonic power!"
"Lao Jin, send us up!"
Following Liang Yan's order, Lao Jin activated the Ten Thousand Monster Flags, swept everyone up with a golden light, and flew high into the sky together.
In the darkness, the three of them rose higher and higher, and in a blink of an eye they were at a height of ten thousand feet!
The colorful palace is suspended here, surrounded by mist, making it appear mysterious and unpredictable.
However, this palace has no entrance. The old Immortal Courtyard that built it had no intention of letting anyone in.
"The seal of this palace is so perfect that we cannot break it with our cultivation. Fortunately, some of the eight people had ulterior motives and deliberately left a flaw."
Liang Yan said and pointed. Southeast of the palace, an inconspicuous corner.
The spatial fluctuations there are obviously different from other places. They look like flowing water, with subtle changes appearing from time to time.
In addition, many cyan silk threads can be seen attached to the palace walls.
"The Heavenly Witch Bell! That's the remaining trace of the Heavenly Witch Bell!" Wu Xin said via voice transmission.
"Well, this is where Demon Lord Qingyun and Wu Changqing entered. The entrance has been opened, let's go in too!"
After listening to Liang Yan's order, Lao Jin immediately activated the Ten Thousand Demon Banners and led two The man galloped forward and soon came to the wall he just pointed to. Without any pause, he rushed forward decisively!
The moment they hit the wall, everyone felt a lightness all over their bodies, then the world started spinning and they closed their eyes involuntarily.
The next moment, when they opened their eyes again, they were already inside the palace.
Wuxin looked around subconsciously, and saw three people standing in a long golden corridor, surrounded by magnificent and beautiful surroundings.
“Be careful!”
When they got here, everyone was very alert, because they might encounter Demon Lord Qingyun at any time.
However, what makes Liang Yan more relieved is that after entering the palace, the four stone pillars can no longer affect them, and his magic power has been restored again, which also gives Liang Yan enough confidence.
"Lao Jin, you can't help us in the fight later. Let's go to the gourd to recuperate first."
Liang Yan raised his hand to cast a spell, put Lao Jin into the Taixu Gourd, and at the same time activated the Tianji Pearl to completely hide himself and Wu Xin's aura.
The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and walked carefully along the corridor.
But it is said that the space inside the palace is very huge, with many corridors and passages intertwined with each other, with nine twists and turns, like a huge maze.
The material here is extremely strong, and ordinary magical powers cannot break it, and it can also block the detection of spiritual consciousness. Therefore, it is impossible to tell the direction here. Many forks in the road seem calm, but in fact there are hidden mechanisms. Wrong, I'm afraid it will trigger a ban and siege.
Fortunately, Demon Lord Qingyun showed them the right path.
Wherever the organic formations are destroyed, it must be the path taken by Demon Lord Qingyun and others. Liang Yan and Wu Xin can keep up with each other as long as they follow these traces.
After walking in the huge maze for about half an hour, I suddenly heard a slight conversation in front of me, as if someone was arguing.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other without saying a word. They both concealed their aura to the extreme and walked cautiously towards the direction of the source of the sound.
After a while, the two came to a huge bronze door.
The door has been opened slightly. Looking inside through the crack in the door, I see a huge tomb. The walls of the tomb are carved with dragons and phoenixes, which are magnificent. There is a jade coffin in the middle. The lid of the coffin has been removed. Open.
There was a woman lying inside, elegant and majestic, exactly the same as the statue of the woman I saw before at the lakeside.
“The Queen Mother of the West!”
Liang Yan and Wu Xin’s pupils shrank.
Although he has been dead for tens of thousands of years, the Lord of the Immortal Court, the overlord who suppressed the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent, still shocked them deeply.
However, this shock lasted only a moment. Soon, they focused their attention on the jade coffin.
There is a white jade pure vase suspended there. The mouth of the vase is narrow, the body of the vase is slender, and it is painted with nine phoenixes and wings. It looks extremely luxurious.
A red glow connected the jade bottle to the body of Queen Mother Xi. It seemed that the jade bottle flew out of Queen Mother Xi's body, but it was unwilling to leave and was still struggling to return to Queen Mother Xi's body.
"Demon Lord Qingyun, this is different from what we promised!"
Suddenly a high-pitched voice shouted loudly.
The speaker was an old man with white beard and hair. He was tall and thin, with a gaunt face. He was the "Bitter Bamboo" that once appeared in Stepping Cloud Pass!
Wu Changqing and him stood side by side, both standing on the east side of the jade coffin, while Demon Lord Qingyun stood alone on the west side of the jade coffin.
At this time, Qingyun Demon Lord was casting a spell. Rays of rays of light flew out from his sleeves and entered the body of the Queen Mother of the West, causing the white jade pure bottle to rise continuously, and finally flew out of the coffin and suspended in the air.
He seemed not to want to pay attention to Kuzhu's question.
Seeing this, Kuzhu raised his voice again and shouted: "Demon Lord Qingyun, do you want to break your promise and swallow the treasure?"
"I did not break my promise."
Demon Lord Qingyun glanced at him and chuckled: "We agreed at the beginning that all the other treasures here belong to you. I only want the 'Luo Shen Bottle', right?"
Kuzhu said angrily: "Return How dare you mention it? What did you say in the first place? There are countless treasures in the tomb of Queen Mother Xi, which can be divided up by us! But now? There is only a coffin and a corpse. What did you ask us to take if you took the 'Luo Shen Bottle'?" Qingyun Demon Lord haha He smiled and said, "Kuzhu, Kuzhu, if you think about it again, what I said at the beginning was, 'There is a great opportunity in the tomb of Queen Mother of the West!', but I did not say that there are countless treasures here. Everything is your own imagination. How can you blame me? "
"You!"
Ku Zhu laughed angrily: "Okay, Demon Lord Qingyun! Do you think we are three-year-old children? Are you determined to play this kind of game? Are we falling out?”
"Fellow Taoist, please be patient. In fact, I'm not lying to you." Demon Lord Qingyun said slowly and leisurely: "You are a demon monk and want to find a magic weapon that suits you. Isn't there a ready-made one here?"
"Where?" Kuzhu asked hurriedly.
"It's just outside the palace."
Qingyun Demon Lord still looked slow and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten the four 'Spirit Locking Stones'? Can you suppress it? The opponent's spiritual power must be activated with demonic power. As long as these four 'spiritual locking stones' can be refined, in the human continent, even the monks below the Yasheng are not Your opponent, even if you meet Yasheng, you have the power to protect yourself."
Hearing what he said, Kuzhu's expression softened. He thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, that's true. It's an opportunity. It's better than returning empty-handed. But how to collect the four 'Spirit Locking Stones'? Do you know the method?"
"Of course, I can tell you now. It's just that the process is a little troublesome. You have to do it first."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a cold snort.
I just heard Wu Changqing say coldly: "Fellow Taoist Kuzhu, don't be fooled by him, he is delaying time!"
As soon as these words came out, Kuzhu's expression immediately changed. Before he could speak, Wu Changqing continued: "Those four 'Spirit Locking Stones' have long been with this palace. If he has that ability, why does he still need you to bring him up with the 'glazed lamp'? After all, he just wants to swallow the Luo Shen bottle, but he is still casting spells and cannot be distracted, so he uses this method. Means to delay time.”
“Haha.”
Demon Lord Qingyun smiled slightly and said: "Brother Changqing is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. We have cooperated for so long, don't we even have this most basic trust?"
Wu Changqing He sneered and said: "Are you considered a gentleman? It's because I have worked with you that I know how cruel you are!"
After finishing speaking, he paused and then said: "However, there is one thing I have always been curious about. How do you, an outsider, know so many secrets about the Queen Mother of the West? There are some things that even I don't know, such as the secrets hidden in her corpse. The 'Luo Shen Bottle'!"
After hearing this, Demon Lord Qingyun raised his head and gave a haha.
"Brother Changqing, you and I made an agreement back then not to pry into each other's secrets. Don't you have a lot of questions today?"
"Okay."
Wu Changqing suppressed his anger, nodded and said: "Ignore other things for now, I just want to ask you one thing, if you get a wisp of holy energy from the Queen Mother of the West, can you really break the restriction in my bloodline? "
"Well?" Demon Lord Qingyun glanced at him and said leisurely: "Her body is there, don't you know if you try it yourself?"
