Chapter 1117 Endless Long Step
"We're here!" Gui Bugui's face was filled with joy. He lowered his head and fiddled with the compass for a while, and then took out a scroll: "The road to the southeast is poor, and we see a large rift valley with steep stone walls and ravines under the cliff. It's hard to predict what's going on. Deep——This should be it!”
"The cave of Old Man Tianji is down there?" Liu Qinghuan asked, glancing at the yellowed paper in his hand: "Is that a note in the senior's hand?"
"That's right, but there are only a few records left by monks who have been here. The other party only knows that the cave is most likely down there, but we have to find the specific location ourselves."
Gui Bugui controlled Yunzhou to fly above the abyss. Yunzhou suddenly trembled and seemed to fall down. And Liu Qinghuan immediately felt something strange. The speed of spiritual power in his meridians suddenly dropped and became stagnant.
"Yes, this is it!" Gui Bugui hurriedly pulled Yunzhou back and landed on the edge of the cliff: "This rift valley has a natural forbidden spirit restriction. It is said that even Mahayana monks like us will have their magic power stagnated here. .”
Liu Qinghuan's face became unhappy, and he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down: "Forbidden Spirit?! How are we going to get down? The abyss is so deep, how can we climb down?"
Something suddenly happened to him: "The energy of death...and it's extremely pure!"
But the light in the bottomless rift valley was very dim, and thin wisps of mist flowed between the cliffs, dyeing the sparse dead trees and weeds black.
"Don't look at it. The old man was practicing the way of life and death that day. It's normal to have death energy here." Gui Bugui flew forward along the edge of the cliff, while exploring his head.
"Senior, what are you looking for?"
"There should be a stone step leading to the bottom of the cliff. Only on that stone step can spiritual power function normally."
The two of them flew hundreds of miles in one breath, and sure enough they found protruding rocks on this side of the cliff.
Liu Qinghuan said in astonishment: "This, is this considered a stone step?"
The first dozen or so steps were quite orderly, with one level going down, but starting from the thirteenth step, it was diagonally lower two or three feet away from the previous one, and then the stone steps seemed to suddenly break here, only There is a protruding rock with an irregular shape about ten feet away, and there are a few more normal steps.
The entire stone steps were intermittent, barely in the shape of steps, extending into the cold darkness below.
Spiritual power is banned here, and such stone steps will have a big impact on them.
But this was not the worst. Gui Bugui reached out and flicked his hand, and a strong wind blew by. The soil and fallen leaves accumulated on the stone steps that had not been visited for many years were immediately swept away.
Liu Qinghuan was startled, looking at the green rock that revealed its true material, like a burning will-o'-the-wisp: "Chaos Soul Jade!"
Chaos Soul Jade, a heaven-level spiritual material!
A small piece is enough to refine a top-quality evil or ghost weapon, but there are large pieces on the abyss cliff used as stone steps?
"Are we going to step on the Chaos Soul Jade?" Liu Qinghuan frowned deeply: "It's okay to come into contact with this kind of heaven-level spiritual material occasionally, but after being exposed to it for a long time, it will have a very strong effect just like its name. The effect of chaos and evil spirits. ”
"This is only the second thing." Gui Bugui said: "Look at that piece. Are there formation patterns painted on it?"
Liu Qinghuan looked along his fingers and saw that the complex formation pattern was vaguely visible on the thirteenth level, while the next level was more than ten feet away. He could imagine that when he stepped on the stone steps, if the formation suddenly started to activate, it was difficult to predict what would happen. With the spirit forbidden here, if he wanted to jump to the next step steadily, an accident would most likely occur.
"It's so difficult to walk all the way down these stone steps!" Gui Bugui shook his head and said, "The person who wrote the note retreated halfway. It is said that the further you go down, the harder it is to walk. There are many illusions and many traps." .”
He looked at Liu Qinghuan: "So do you still dare to go down?"
Liu Qinghuan was silent for a moment and said: "We are all here, isn't it already too late to back down?"
He smiled: "You have to give it a try first. If it doesn't work, then just return."
"Okay!" Gui Bugui shouted, turned around and jumped down, landing on the first-level Chaos Soul Jade: "Then give it a try!"
In the blink of an eye, he passed the twelve easy steps in front of him. When he stepped on the thirteenth step, he saw something strange suddenly appeared under his feet. A ball of green fire burst out, and he was instantly drowned!
"Hahaha!" There was laughter in the firelight, and a ball of golden Yangshen virtual fire extinguished the surging green fire in an instant. Gui Bugui jumped out, jumped more than ten feet away, and landed on the fourteenth step. superior.
"Young man Liu, are you watching? I'm exploring the way ahead for you!"
"Thank you very much, senior!" Liu Qinghuan replied with a smile and jumped to the first step.
There is a unique texture of jade under the feet, and a cold that is completely different from ice and snow lingers through a thin layer of boot soles, as if a ghost has climbed up the back against the thighs, exhaling a cold breath from the back of the neck. gas!
Liu Qinghuan did not release Yang Shen's virtual fire like Gui Bugui, but unfolded the Tao realm. The life and death sword intent flying out from the center of his eyebrows turned into black and white qi, spinning around his body like a yin and yang fish, and all the gathered coldness disappeared. Blanking is gone.
He has cultivated the way of life and death, and is recognized by Heaven as a renouncer. Anything related to dead souls can now hardly hurt him.
He stepped down slowly and reached the thirteenth level. There was still green fire remaining on the jade, but it did not suddenly spurt out like when Gui Bugui passed by.
Liu Qinghuan didn't take it seriously. He stepped forward and flew out into the air. Suddenly, a ghost hand stretched out from the green jade and grabbed his ankle!
Just after leaving the stone steps, he already felt that his spiritual power had become somewhat sluggish. If he was caught by the ghost hand in mid-air again...
Liu Qinghuan's eyes flashed sharply, and the black and white energy surrounding him turned back into a small sword in the blink of an eye, cutting off the ghost hand!
After landing steadily on the fourteenth step, he looked back and saw that the chopped off ghost hand had turned into a black mist again and retracted into the Chaos Soul Jade.
Gui Bugui also saw this scene and shouted from below: "The traps on the stone steps are actually changing in various ways? It seems that my exploration in front is not very useful. You should be careful and don't stay too far away from me." , so as not to be unable to rush for help.”
Liu Qinghuan responded, speeding up a bit to keep up with Gui Bugui's footsteps.
All the way down, stone steps are scattered on the cliff, like an endless road leading to the Nine Netherworld, with no end in sight.
The skylight above the head gradually faded away, and the dead branches and leaves blocked the rift valley, making it darker and darker, and the aura of death became more intense.
The green fire and ghost hands are just the crudest traps, and they become less and less important as you go down, and the symptoms of being on the Chaos Soul Jade for a long time also begin to appear. Although it is not the level of shaking the soul, there are illusions. They appear frequently and always appear suddenly at the most dangerous times!
