The core area of Xutian Temple is undoubtedly the fifth floor of the giant tower.
On that day, the reason why Ancestor Jiyin and others did not dare to explore that layer deeply was mainly because they were afraid of the restrictions there. Secondly, they only wanted to get the Xutian Cauldron and did not really search that layer carefully. .
With his current profound cultivation and unique pupil skills - Ming and Qing spiritual eyes, Yan Yun may be able to reveal some mysterious secrets.
As for the ice phoenix at the tenth level, no one knew what kind of spatial magical power it used to escape from the scene.
Despite this, Yan Yun was not worried about this. He was convinced that Bingfeng would never be able to easily escape from the giant tower or even the surrounding Xutian Palace.
The reason is that he has already conducted detailed exploration on the edge of the giant tower and found that there are as many as ten kinds of restrictions attached to the tower wall.
Most of these restrictions he could not identify, but fortunately, the few restrictions he recognized contained restrictions specifically designed to isolate the power of space.
Therefore, unless you use the special teleportation array in the temple, any idea of trying to leave the giant tower through magical powers similar to space transfer is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
In addition, even with Yan Yun's current strength, he can still feel the power and depth of other restrictions on the tower wall.
If this were not the case, he would not need to look for the control circle at all. He could easily break through the tower wall and leave this place by using his great supernatural powers.
After two teleportations, Yan Yun finally reached the fifth floor of the giant tower and appeared in front of the Hanli Platform where he had obtained the Xutian Cauldron.
It is worth mentioning that the successive great elders of Xiaoji Palace are all known as Master Hanli. This is another strong proof of the relationship between Xiaoji Palace and Xutian Palace.
However, the steps where the Xutian Cauldron has been removed are now in dilapidated condition, completely preserving the marks left by the fierce battle between Jiyin Patriarch and Wan Tianming and others.
What surprised Yan Yun was that the woman in silver was actually standing on the high platform at this moment, staring at the altar that day, with deep thoughts on her face.
Yan Yun's appearance obviously attracted the woman's attention.
She turned her head indifferently, glanced at Yan Yun, and then she flashed, turning into a bright crystal rainbow and galloping away from the stone platform, disappearing in the numerous bluestone passages in an instant.
Yan Yun quietly watched the woman's leaving figure and did not take any action to stop her.
When the woman's escaping light completely disappeared, he slowly walked to the altar, looked into the cave where the Xutian Cauldron was taken for a few times, and then began to search the entire stone platform for clues to control the magic circle.
Soon after, Yan Yun confirmed that there was indeed no trace of the control array on the Hanli Platform, and immediately centered on the platform and gradually expanded the search area.
However, whether it was because the control circle was too hidden or Yan Yun had not yet found the correct position, he was still unable to gain anything.
As time went by, Yan Yun's search footprints were left in every corner of the fifth floor. However, after more than half a month of hard work, apart from his increasingly gloomy face, he still could not find any clues to the control of the magic circle.
At this moment, Yan Yun came out of a corner, but still found nothing. He leaned against a nearby stone pillar and fell into a brief contemplation.
Could it be that the control array of the Void Spirit Palace is not located on this floor, but is distributed on the other four floors?
Yan Yun couldn't help but have such doubts in his heart.
Just as his mood was ups and downs, suddenly a light flashed nearby, and with a harsh "Zila" sound, the space was torn open, and the figure of the woman in silver clothes appeared.
Yan Yun's expression was serious, his eyes were fixed on the woman in silver shirt in front of him, and he remained silent without saying a word.
He was filled with doubts and never believed that this mysterious woman came to his door for no apparent reason just to chat. He was eager to hear the true purpose of the woman's visit.
In recent days, this woman has not appeared on the fifth floor. Could it be that she has found a way to escape in the passages leading to other floors?
The woman in the silver shirt smiled softly and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Yan, have you found a way to leave this place?"
Yan Yun replied calmly: "If I have found a way to leave, why should I continue to stay here? From the words of fellow Taoist, I seem to have discovered something. Can you tell me what the situation is?"
The silver-shirted woman's eyes flashed with wisdom, and she slowly explained:
"I have roughly completed the exploration of this place. If you want to use brute force to break through the restriction and leave, it will require the joint efforts of at least two or more monks in the transformation stage. However, there are only two of us here now, and this obviously cannot be achieved. .”
Yan Yun was secretly shocked, but still maintained a calm and composed attitude on the surface. The woman in the silver shirt snorted with some displeasure, and then said:
"Aren't you looking for the control circle here?"
Yan Yun's expression changed slightly and he responded candidly: "That's true. Does Fairy Feng have any advice?"
The woman in the silver shirt took a deep breath, and her face suddenly became serious. She stared at Yan Yun and asked word by word:
"Are you willing to tell the truth about the connection between this place and the Ice Soul Fairy back then and whether the small cauldron in your hand is the Xutian Baoding?"
Yan Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly:
"Bingso Fairy? Who is she? As for that small cauldron, since fellow Taoist believe it is the Xutian Cauldron, then just assume that it is!"
When the silver-shirted woman heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes. After a moment of silence, she spoke again:
"Bing Soul Fairy is the ancient monk who created the dry blue ice flame, and is also the founder of Xiaoji Palace! It seems that you really know nothing about these things. But about the Xutian Cauldron, it is still detailed The explanation is more appropriate. If you have the Xutian Cauldron, you can use it to activate the control circle; otherwise, it will have no effect. Therefore, I don’t think it is necessary to disclose this information to you.”
The look of surprise in Yan Yun's eyes flickered. After thinking for a moment, he responded without hesitation:
"Since Your Excellency has put it like this, there is indeed nothing that needs to be hidden there. That mysterious object is the Xutian Cauldron! However, may I ask, Your Excellency, where is the control circle hidden?"
"Very good. Since you have told me frankly, please come with me. This time, if we want to successfully escape from this place, we can only work together. Before leaving this place, it is best to put aside the grudges between us for the time being. , otherwise no matter who it is, it may be difficult to leave this place alone.”
The silver-robed woman responded calmly, seemingly not surprised by Yan Yun's answer. Then her body swayed and turned into a bright crystal light, speeding straight towards a certain bluestone passage.
Yan Yun frowned slightly, but before he had time to think more, he immediately turned into a stream of cyan light and followed closely behind.
However, after flying for only a moment, Yan Yun showed a surprised look.
Because the crystal light leading the way is obviously heading in the direction of Hanli Terrace. He has searched there countless times, how could there be secrets that have not yet been discovered?
However, the woman transformed from an ice phoenix in front showed no intention of stopping, so Yan Yun had no choice but to suppress his doubts and follow closely all the way. After about a meal, the crystal light circled around the high platform and landed steadily on the altar. The light gradually converged, revealing the graceful figure of the Yinshan woman.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, are you sure you are not looking in the wrong place? Is the control circle really here?"
Yan Yun also landed on the stage and finally asked uncontrollably.
"Looking in the wrong place? Huh, even if I close my eyes, I can still find the control circle here accurately."
The silver-shirted woman responded contemptuously.
"What does this sentence mean? Have you ever set foot in this place?" Yan Yun couldn't help but feel shocked.
"How could I come here! It's just that there is a place on Bingyuan Island where our Bingfeng Clan lives that is very similar to this stone platform. In fact, the tripod you are holding in your hand is very similar to that of our Bingfeng Clan. They are also inextricably linked," the woman in silver shirt explained with a sneer.
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Yan Yun to show a surprised expression, the woman suddenly floated in the air, and her hands suddenly moved towards several locations above the altar.
In an instant, there were several crisp sounds of breaking porcelain in the void, and several dazzling white lights emerged in the air.
Immediately afterwards, these light spots trembled slightly, expanded rapidly, and instantly became the size of a wheel, like several blazing white suns shining in the sky at the same time, and finally merged into one, forming a huge ball of light, slowly spinning.
Yan Yun gritted his teeth gently, the shock on his face was beyond words.
The silver-robed woman glanced at Yan Yun, then continued to cast spells expressionlessly, her fingers dancing rapidly, one after another, the spells were submerged into the ball of light and disappeared without a trace.
Finally, the huge ball of light erupted with a loud noise and suddenly turned into a dozen formation flags as white as snow.
Each formation flag is five or six feet long, and is embroidered with indecipherable patterns composed of ancient runes.
These formation flags rotated in the void, then turned into a dozen dazzling white rainbows, shooting in all directions, then flashed past, quietly submerged into the ground, and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Yan Yun's eyes kept flickering, and there was a hint of enlightenment on his face.
At this moment, the entire Hanli Platform rang with a roaring sound, followed by a violent vibration. With the altar as the center, a huge magic circle emerged that almost covered the entire stone platform, with colorful spiritual lights flashing on it. indefinite.
The moment the mysterious magic circle emerged, the two of them floated in mid-air independently, observing the scene in the field with a bird's-eye view.
Yan Yun carefully examined it for a moment and determined that the array in front of him was undoubtedly the control array of Xutian Palace. At the same time, his eyes found a pattern that was exactly the same as Xutian Cauldron in the center of the array.
His mind immediately recalled the scene when he opened the Xuan Jade Cave in the Void Spirit Hall that day.
The magic circle that sealed the Xuanyu Cave at that time also used similar restraint techniques. However, the scale of the magic circle in front of me is more than ten times that of the former, and it appears to be more complicated and profound.
"Have you ever seen such a magic circle before?"
The woman in silver shirt seemed to notice something strange on Yan Yun's face. She put away the spell in her hand and asked Yan Yun.
"I have seen a similar magic circle somewhere in Xiaoji Palace."
Yan Yun didn't hide anything and answered calmly.
"So that's it! In that case, you should also have some understanding of how to control this magic circle. Please give it a try and see if the Xutian Cauldron is really the key weapon to control the magic circle." The woman in silver shirt did not Continuing to ask more questions encouraged Yan Yun to try.
After Yan Yun hesitated for a moment, he nodded slightly and muttered something.
Immediately afterwards, a stream of cyan light erupted from his body and floated straight towards the center of the magic circle. What was wrapped in it was the Xutian Cauldron, which was only a few inches in size.
During this process, Yan Yun was naturally highly vigilant towards the woman in silver. As long as she showed any intention of snatching the treasure, he would immediately take back the Xutian Cauldron.
As soon as Xutian Cauldron arrived at the center of the huge magic circle, it stopped steadily under Yan Yun's control, just facing the giant cauldron pattern below.
At this moment, the giant cauldron pattern suddenly burst into dazzling light, and a cyan light beam shot out from it, covering the Xutian Cauldron in the air.
Yan Yun felt his consciousness shake, and he lost the connection with the Xutian Cauldron again, and his expression couldn't help but change.
He quickly glanced at the silver-shirted woman next to him and found that she did not do anything unusual. This made him feel a little relieved and continued to pay attention to the changes in the magic circle and the Xutian Cauldron.
Under the shroud of the cyan beam, the Xutian Cauldron began to make a buzzing sound, and its volume expanded rapidly.
After just a moment, the size of the cauldron was similar to the pattern below, and at the same time, the various patterns of flowers, birds, insects, and fish on the cauldron began to float and change into various forms. Yan Yun felt his mind move, and he actually reestablished contact with Juding.
However, at this moment, he felt that his mana was continuously flowing into the giant cauldron.
Yan Yun's expression couldn't help but change again.
However, at this moment, the woman in silver clothes on the side suddenly made a hand gesture and pointed lightly towards the center of the magic circle.
A white spiritual beam shot out and disappeared into the giant cauldron pattern in an instant.
Yan Yun suddenly felt that the loss of mana slowed down and gradually returned to a controllable level, and his expression returned to normal.
If not, he would have immediately cut off the spiritual connection with the Xutian Cauldron due to doubts, and at the same time took back the Xutian Cauldron.
However, the Xutian Cauldron at this moment was like an endless black hole, constantly devouring the mana of him and the woman in silver.
Soon after, when Yan Yun lost more than half of his mana, his face turned gloomy again. (End of chapter)
