In the palm of Xie Huazhang's right hand, an ice-blue prismatic spiritual essence was constantly rotating, and the icy air it emitted smoothed the road ahead.
All formations related to desire were suddenly frozen.
He still held Xue Qingyi's slender waist, flew quickly to the end of the road, and then clenched his right hand.
The prismatic essence containing rich ice-attributed spiritual power instantly shattered in his palm.
Behind the two of them, the frozen formations began to shatter.
He did this all the way to the agreed location, without using any magic weapon, and simply relied on his absolute strength to break through all formations, restrictions, or other dangers he encountered.
Xue Qingyi speculated secretly.
The way of ruthlessness is close to the way of heaven.
It is said that if one cultivates the Way of Mercilessness to its peak, one will be infinitely close to the Way of Heaven, and the cultivator's strength will be comparable to the power of the Way of Heaven.
But will the Heavenly Dao really tolerate such an existence?
Five days later, the two finally arrived at the agreed location.
The hunchbacked monk Wu Yu has arrived.
After waiting for another two or three days, Xunhuan and Xunyue from the Hehuan Sect, and Gu Teng from the Wuhen Sect also arrived.
The three of them looked quite embarrassed, and it seemed that they must have encountered some unexpected danger along the way.
However, seeing the satisfied expressions on the faces of the three people, they must have obtained some extraordinary magic weapon.
Seeing that everyone was present, the hunchbacked monk immediately took out his magic weapon, the golden bowl.
The golden bowl flew into the air with the platinum mouth facing downwards.
The hunchbacked monk was meditating with his body floating in the air, making a seal with one hand and chanting some mantra continuously.
After a moment, a golden pattern suddenly appeared in the place illuminated by the light of the golden bowl. When all the golden patterns appeared, it was discovered that this was actually an ancient teleportation array!
"Fellow Taoists, you may go in now."
When the hunchbacked monk saw the ancient teleportation array appear, he immediately landed and said.
He walked in first.
Seeing this, the other people followed suit. Xie Huazhang was still the last one to go in, bringing Xue Qingyi in.
As soon as everyone gathered, the hunchbacked monk activated the magic circle.
After a burst of golden light shot up into the sky, Xue Qingyi felt a sense of space being pulled, and a brilliant light flashed before her eyes. When she recovered from the dizziness of teleportation, she found herself at the bottom of an underground pool.
"Did the Demon Buddha Tuntian die here?" Xun Yue asked first.
"According to the ancient scrolls I obtained, this is the place," the hunchbacked monk replied.
"There are three secret passages in different directions here. Which one leads to Tuntian's remains?" Xunhuan asked.
"The ancient scroll doesn't explain it clearly, so we have to split into three groups. Whoever finds Tian Tun's remains first will mark the location on the map in his hand, and we will see it."
The hunchbacked monk said, "There are six of us in total. The two Daoists from the Hehuan Sect must go together. Daoist Fellow Gu and I will go together. I just don't know if it is appropriate for Daoist Fellow Zhang to bring his concubine alone."
With this distribution, Xie Huazhang and Xue Qingyi were obviously at a disadvantage.
After all, on the surface, Xie Huazhang is only in the initial stage of transformation, and Xue Qingyi has no cultivation at all.
If they encounter any danger along the way, it will be more difficult for the two of them to deal with it than the other four.
"Okay, but if we find the Demon Buddha's body, I won't talk about magic weapons or anything like that, but I want to choose one thing from the Demon Buddha's body first." Xie Huazhang said at this time.
The other four people listened and had no objection.
After all, they all came for the magic weapon. As for whether the remains of the Demon Buddha are still there, it is not certain. Anyway, they will not suffer any loss.
"Since everyone has no objection, I'll go ahead first." Xie Huazhang said, and for the first time he took the lead and took Xue Qingyi through the leftmost passage, and soon they disappeared.
Seeing this, the hunchbacked monk sneered and chose the middle passage.
Seeing this, Gu Teng hurriedly followed.
Xun Huan and Xun Yue had no choice but to take the rightmost aisle.
"He always walks at the back, but this time he got ahead. Could it be that he sensed the correct location of the Demon Buddha's remains?" Gu Teng said with a puzzled look on his face on the road.
"It's only the initial stage of transformation. Is it possible?"
The hunchbacked monk sneered with some disdain, "Moreover, according to the ancient scrolls I have obtained, the remains of the demon Buddha are very likely to be in the direction of this middle passage. Taoist friend Zhang is being too smart."
"So if we find the Demon Buddha's remains first, do we really have to wait for him to arrive and choose first?" Gu Teng asked again.
"He is just in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Do we need to be so trustworthy? Even if he chooses something first, what can he do? Could it be that he wants to fight against you and me? You should know that the transmission channel to enter this cave requires five cultivators at the Spiritualization Realm to open, but there is no limit to leaving."
The hunchbacked monk chuckled.
Gu Teng naturally had no objection to this.
In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. Even if this person suffered a loss in front of them, he could only endure it. Who made him weak?
The passage is still full of dangers, including formations, restrictions, and the appearance of some magical beasts.
Xue Qingyi follows Xie Huazhang and doesn't need to worry about these things at all.
They cleared the way through ice and snow.
Soon, the passage came to an end and a stone door to a secret room appeared.
Xie Huazhang raised his hand and the stone door opened with a bang. There was a bright light inside, as if there was some powerful magic weapon.
He did not rush in rashly, but took out the short magic sword he had used before. The sword flashed with spiritual light and kept spinning around the two of them.
The two then stepped into the secret room.
When Xue Qingyi went in, she discovered that although there was nothing visible from the outside of the secret room, there was actually a lot of secrets inside.
It is divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower.
The lower level is filled with various magical weapons that shine brightly.
The middle layer contains the most exquisite spiritual stones of unclear quality.
On the upper level, various jade slips of martial arts techniques are piled up like mountains.
But no one knows where the body of the demon Buddha Tuntian is.
"Master, isn't it here?" Xue Qingyi couldn't help but ask.
"On the way here, I asked you to practice the Tianyuan Yushen Jue to the third level, and integrate it with your killing sword moves. How is your practice going?" However, Xie Huazhang answered the question irrelevantly.
Xue Qingyi was stunned when she heard this.
She took one look at the room full of treasures and the dazzling scene of bright rays of light and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
After a moment, she raised her hand and grabbed it.
The Lingxi sword in the void was held in her palm, and she slashed it out horizontally.
This sword energy combined all her current spiritual power.
Suddenly, the sword energy swept through the air, and the rosy glow in front of me was torn into a hole, but in an instant, the hole was closed again.
Unfortunately, just when the gap was about to be completely closed, the murderous aura left over from the gap lingered, and finally an unhealable crack remained.
This scene made Xue Qingyi stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood.
Everything you see before your eyes is an illusion!
And hallucinations are creations of divine consciousness.
If one wants to tear these illusions apart, one must attack with spiritual consciousness. If one then combines it with her killing sword moves, the killing aura on the sword moves will prevent the illusions from counterattacking.
No wonder Xie Huazhang made such a request to her before coming!
"Master, did you know that there would be such an illusion restriction here?" Xue Qingyi couldn't help but ask at this time.
"The ancient scroll about the Demon Buddha's Heaven-Devouring Cave in the hands of Monk Wu Yu was given to him by me." Xie Huazhang replied calmly.
But obviously, the monk Wu Yu was not aware of this!
A hint of depression appeared on Xue Qingyi's face, as if at this moment, she saw another unknown side of her master.
It turns out that he can be so sinister and calculating towards others!
"Go on." Xie Huazhang said.
Xue Qingyi nodded, and then used the second move of the Heart Demon Slash.
She flew into the air, and her sword moves were as fast as lightning, integrating her spiritual power, and fell forward densely.
Suddenly, cuts were torn open, and because of the murderous aura, they could not heal. Under Xue Qingyi's continuous attack, more and more cuts appeared, and the illusion in front of him was torn to pieces.
When he saw that it was almost done, Xie Huazhang finally took action.
He pointed his finger.
Suddenly, the overwhelming spiritual power of ice and snow froze the remaining illusions, and then shattered them, and the illusion completely collapsed.
The magic weapons, top-grade spirit stones and countless jade slips of martial arts techniques that were originally seen all disappeared at this moment.
The three-story attic also collapsed, turning into a pile of spiritual fragments, and then disintegrated into a pile of dust.
Until this time, a huge golden Buddha statue several dozen feet tall appeared before their eyes.
And in a lotus flower held in the Buddhist monk's equally huge palm, a black monster was sleeping inside.
"This is..." Xue Qingyi couldn't help but look surprised.
"The remains of the Demon Buddha Tuntian." Xie Huazhang replied calmly.
Xue Qingyi thought so too.
Since it is an ancient demon god, it probably does not have the form of a human. It should be the same as other demons, with a strange appearance.
At this time, Xie Huazhang held Xue Qingyi's slender waist again and flew into the air, reaching the same height as the lotus. He then produced a tripod-shaped magic weapon in his right hand, and actually took in the entire body of the Demon Buddha!
"Take this lotus and play with it."
Xie Huazhang took out the pink lotus held in the Buddha's hand and threw it directly to Xue Qingyi.
Xue Qingyi was so shocked that she quickly raised her hand to catch it!
This is an ancient treasure level!
Just give it to her like this?
Then, Xie Huazhang swept away all the magic weapons on the entire Buddha statue.
Then he marked the location on the map for others.
"Master, didn't you say before that you would only take one thing from the Demon Buddha's body first? But now, you have taken the entire body. I'm afraid the others will make trouble, right?"
Seeing that he had gained so many benefits but had no intention of leaving immediately, Xue Qingyi couldn't help but ask.
"No problem."
However, Xie Huazhang said calmly, "They may not share the magic weapons they obtained in the secret rooms at the end of other passages with us."
Just one sentence was enough for Xue Qingyi to understand.
The world of cultivation is indeed full of old monsters with sinister intentions!
