In her previous life, Han Wei painstakingly cultivated to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, only to die under the celestial thunder meant for ascending to immortality. When she opened her eyes a...
Chapter 127 Acquiring Another Immortal Artifact
As Han Wei spoke, an axe appeared in her hand. The axe had an ancient design and was one of the spoils of war obtained from Li Chong's storage bracelet after killing him.
She poured all her magic power into the axe, and many flashing inscriptions appeared on it.
Seeing this, Yan Ci grabbed with his fingers, and a jade ruler appeared in his hand. The ruler emitted a dazzling blue light, and then many ruler shadows appeared.
Rumble—
Han Wei and Yan Ci attacked the wall together again, but this time they still failed to leave any marks. Seeing this, Yan Ci became enraged and was about to attack again, but Han Wei stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
"What's wrong?"
Yan Ci looked at Han Wei.
Han Wei's emerald-green eyes stared at the restrictive runes appearing on the ground and walls. Originally, there weren't many restrictions on the walls and ground, but now she noticed that the number of restrictions in this space had increased several times over. It seemed that just now, with each attack, the restrictions actually multiplied.
“Fellow Daoist Yan, have you noticed that every time we attack the wall, the restrictive runes here change?” Han Wei said.
Yan Ci looked at her and said, "I know absolutely nothing about restrictions."
Han Wei explained to him, "Each attack left no mark on the wall; instead, it was absorbed by the existing restrictive array. The absorbed attack power turned into restrictive runes, causing the number of restrictions here to keep increasing."
“When I first came in, I didn’t pay much attention to the restrictions on the walls because they didn’t seem very strong. But now the restrictions have evolved to an astonishing degree. If we continue to attack, the number of restrictions will only increase exponentially. At that point, we might be trapped here for the rest of our lives.”
Yan Ci asked in surprise, "Then what should we do?"
“If we can’t attack it, then we can only untie it,” Han Wei said.
Yan Ci immediately sighed: "I can't lift the restriction."
After saying that, he plopped down on a large box, looking at Han Wei.
Han Wei carefully observed the changes in these restrictions, and the Divine Wisdom Dao Fruits in her sea of consciousness emitted dazzling light one by one.
Using the Divine Wisdom Dao Fruit to calculate the evolution of the restriction also requires Han Wei to expend a lot of divine sense. Therefore, she does not connect with the Divine Wisdom Dao Fruit with her divine sense all the time. She only does so when necessary. Otherwise, she should have noticed the secret here from the beginning.
With the extraordinary Divine Wisdom Dao Fruit as her secondary brain, Han Wei easily understood the various changes in the array and restrictions here.
Yan Ci watched her quietly from the side, his hands supporting his cheeks, his golden eyes blinking.
Han Wei began forming hand seals, her hands moving to create various colored restrictive runes. These runes landed in different locations, creating numerous magic arrays of varying sizes within the inner space. Yan Ci, seeing these changes, was slightly surprised, her mouth slightly agape.
There are a staggering 23,951 magic arrays here; even a true immortal would be trapped and die here. Although Han Wei understood all the mysteries, her strength was only at the peak of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, so it took her a great deal of effort to open the passage out.
Countless runes surged like a torrent, then converged towards a center under the guidance of Han Wei's magic, forming a huge vortex, which was the gateway to the outside world.
Upon seeing the open door, Yan Ci immediately jumped down from the box, her face beaming with joy.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, let's go outside!"
Han Wei glanced back at Yan Ci, and then she and Yan Ci flew towards the vortex in two streaks of light.
After emerging from the whirlpool, the two found themselves in an enormous crater, inside which stood a glass pagoda, hundreds of feet tall, topped with a huge crystal ball-like gem. The pagoda's body was carved with reliefs of many strange beasts. It turned out that the two of them had just been inside this glass pagoda.
This glazed pagoda is surrounded by celestial energy; it is actually a magical artifact.
With a flick of her finger, Han Wei shrunk the glass pagoda from a hundred feet tall to the size of a palm, and it flew into her hand. Han Wei held the pagoda and looked at the boy beside her.
Yan Ci crossed his arms over his chest. When Han Wei looked over, he said, "You lifted the restriction, so this tower is yours. I won't take it."
Han Wei smiled gently, then absorbed the glass pagoda into her body and placed it in the Wood Spirit Cave.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, you mentioned before that you're not very good at breaking restrictions. I have a magic weapon here specifically designed for breaking restrictions. I wonder if you'd be interested?" Han Wei said, taking out Li Chong's Great Evolution Compass. The compass floated in her palm, emitting a faint purple light.
Yan Ci looked curiously at the Great Evolution Compass in her hand. Han Wei directly handed the compass to him. Yan Ci reached out and took it, channeling his divine sense into it. After examining it, he asked Han Wei:
How do we trade?
"Do you have any silk from the Azure Silkworm or feathers from some rare spirit birds?" Han Wei asked.
With a wave of his hand, Yan Ci conjured the corpse of a gigantic fire spirit bird. He looked at Han Wei and asked, "Will this work?"
Although the Fire Spirit Sparrow was dead, its feathers still emitted a red glow, each feather shimmering and beautiful.
Han Wei reached out and stroked the Fire Spirit Sparrow's feathers, then smiled at Yan Ci: "Deal."
Yan Ci smiled and put away the Great Evolution Compass. Han Wei reminded him, "This compass is my trophy, from a core disciple of Lingtian Palace."
She didn't say who it was, only reminding Yan Ci that if there were any experts from Lingtian Palace, the compass should be used discreetly. However, since she had already killed Dongyang Zhenren, the possibility of someone else seeking revenge for Li Chong was probably slim.
Yan Ci scoffed, "Lingtian Palace? I'm not afraid of it."
Looking at his handsome profile, Han Wei thought that Yan Ci had a mysterious background and extraordinary talent. She figured he would soon enter the Mahayana stage, so she probably wouldn't have to worry about his safety.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, where are you going next? I plan to go to the Central Continent," Han Wei said.
Yan Ci looked at her: "You're planning to go out?"
Han Wei said, "It's quite a distance from here to the Central Continent. I should be able to find other opportunities along the way. I've already seen enough on this trip and don't want to stay here any longer. After all, I'm just a minor mid-stage Integration Realm cultivator. There are probably countless old monsters at the Mahayana and Tribulation Transcending stages in this Xuan Tian Secret Realm."
Yan Ci said, "I'd like to visit other places as well."
"Since that's the case, then let's part ways here! Until we meet again!" Han Wei clasped her hands in a fist salute to Yan Ci.
The white-clad, golden-eyed youth clasped his hands in a fist salute to her, and the two parted ways once more.
