Then, the three golden characters disappeared from sight and turned into countless golden stars. Gradually, they combined into a picture. Each star was moving rapidly, and the picture changed accordingly.
The rolling hills and towering peaks, judging from the terrain, are located somewhere deep in the Longyan Mountains.
Thousands of elders with extraordinary bearings were gathered here. The ground in front of them cracked open, revealing a bottomless abyss. Deep red magma was surging in the abyss, and flames shot up into the sky, as if to devour the entire world.
The elders all exchanged hand gestures, and powerful rays of energy, seemingly tangible, combined to form a massive seal that enveloped the abyss. Under the terrifying force, the cracks in the abyss actually began to slowly close.
One after another, hideous and strange-looking underworld beasts climbed up the walls of the abyss, but before they could show their heads, they would be cut by one or several domineering sword beams, rolling down, and then a ball of fiery red waves would splash up.
These thousands of old men were guarding one side of the abyss, constantly making hand gestures and slashing with swords. Sweat rolled down their faces, but no one relaxed at all. Their expressions were so solemn and focused.
No one noticed that a huge formation was gradually taking shape thousands of feet below their feet. Tens of thousands of underworld beasts gathered around it, injecting dark red rays of light into the formation.
"Not good!" Mu Hanyan, Hua Yue and others exclaimed at the same time. Even Jiang Yuzhe, who was always slow to react, suddenly changed his expression.
Although the ancient mirror was not large, the image composed of golden stars was extremely clear. With their current cultivation and eyesight, every face in the image seemed to be magnified before their eyes. Among these people, they saw familiar faces such as Mu Beichen, Gong Hongru, Nangong Jingyuan, and Lu Nianxin.
Obviously, that abyss is the seal crack of the Nine Netherworld Prison. Mu Beichen and other top strongmen from various countries on the continent gathered here, devoting their life's strength to seal it again, but they did not realize that the Nether Beast Clan had already set up a formation under them.
Although no one knows what kind of formation this is or how powerful it is, one thing is certain: once this formation is activated, the thousands of the most powerful people in the countries on the continent will surely suffer a devastating disaster.
"No, we have to notify them quickly!" Mu Hanyan was anxious as she looked at the solemn and focused faces of Mu Beichen, Lu Nianxin, Gong Hongru and others on the screen.
As she spoke, Mu Hanyan rushed out of the palace quickly, but when she reached the valley outside, she stopped again.
Although it was certain that the abyss was deep in the Longyan Mountains, Mu Hanyan did not know its exact location and had never been there during her training in her previous life.
"Do you know where that place is?" Mu Hanyan turned her head and looked at Ye Lanxuan, Hua Yue and others who followed.
Everyone shook their heads.
"How about we go back to Beining Pass first and send a letter by flying eagle to ask." Jiang Yuzhe suggested.
"I'm afraid it's too late." Zirong shook her head. She didn't hit Jiang Yuzhe as hard as before. After all, he had made great progress by coming up with the idea of sending a letter via flying eagle instead of foolishly running back to the capital.
However, judging by the image in the Tianji Mirror, the formation should be nearly complete. It would probably be too late to return to Beining Pass to send a letter by flying eagle and wait for a reply. They were already in the Longyan Mountains, and if they could just figure out the exact direction of the abyss, they would be able to get there much faster.
"By the way, Master Qu, can you try the Divine Attraction Technique again and see if it works?" Mu Hanyan suddenly remembered Qu Shanling's Divine Attraction Technique and asked expectantly.
"The Divine Attraction Technique uses the spiritual power of ancient divine instruments to find natural treasures or ancient relics. However, the Nine Netherworld Prison is neither a natural treasure nor an ancient relic. To be specific, it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Secret Mirror, so I can't do anything about it." Qu Shanling sighed and said.
Do we really have to go back to Beiningguan first to send a message by flying eagle as Jiang Yuzhe said? After hearing Qu Shanling's answer, Mu Hanyan felt disappointed.
"However, according to Master, this Heavenly Secret Mirror is destined to be with you. Even though it didn't shed blood, it should be considered to have recognized you as its master. Otherwise, your strength wouldn't have increased so much. Since it can show the scene of the Nine Netherworld Hell, it should be able to help you find its location." But immediately, Qu Shanling shook his head and said.
Not only Mu Hanyan, but even Hua Yue and others had the urge to pin this old charlatan to the ground and beat him up. They had just said that he had changed his nature recently, and was quiet and no longer pretending to be mysterious, but they didn't expect that he would return to his old ways so soon.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Mu Hanyan said unhappily.
"Don't you want me to try the Divine Attraction Technique to see if it works? I just want to tell you first." The old charlatan said innocently.
Seeing his innocent expression, Huayue and the others wanted to beat him up even more.
"I'll teach you the Divine Attraction Technique first, and you can try it yourself." Qu Shanling shuddered at their unfriendly looks and quickly got to the point.
Compared with ordinary hand gestures, the Divine Attraction Technique is extremely exquisite and ingenious. However, Mu Hanyan had already learned the Star Fantasy Thousand Machine Technique, and then practiced various strange and unusual skills at Longyan Academy. She was able to pick it up very quickly, and it took her less than half an hour to learn most of it.
Worried about Mu Beichen, Lu Nianxin and others, Mu Hanyan didn't have time to practice slowly, so she just performed the hand seals directly, and her mind was completely immersed in the Tianji Mirror.
That familiar and intimate feeling surged into her heart again, as if this Tianji Mirror originally belonged to her and had accompanied her through thousands of years. Mu Hanyan could even feel its deep attachment to her. Divine artifacts are spiritual, just like humans, they also have their own recognized friends, partners, and even relatives.
Following Mu Hanyan's hand gestures, suddenly, a golden beam of light shone out from the Tianji Mirror and headed straight into the distance.
Soon, the beam of light disappeared, and a feeling of exhaustion came from the Tianji Mirror. Obviously, the golden beam of light just now consumed a lot of its energy.
"Is it that direction?" Hua Yue asked worriedly.
Although the beam of light appeared for a very short time, its direction was clear and unmistakable. What Hua Yue was really worried about was what to do if that was not the direction where the Netherworld Crack was located?
"There's nothing wrong with that." Mu Hanyan said affirmatively.
The feeling of spiritual connection with the Tianji Mirror is not something that outsiders can understand, so she would never have any doubts.
Ye Lanxuan made another hand gesture and used the wind control technique.
Surprisingly, Xia Youchen also used the wind control technique.
After a moment's change of mind, everyone felt relieved. Xia Youchen was originally a master at the level of Sword Saint. Although his strength had only recovered to the level of Great Sword Master, it was not difficult for him to use the Wind Control Technique.
