Xiang Sheng knew that the excuse he had just made was very poor.
If Dong Jinghuan jumped into the waterfall to verify it, he would immediately find that the cold pool under the waterfall would not have any effect on the rune at all.
However, Dong Jinghuan has been practicing for many years, so even if he really has doubts in his heart, he would not point them out to others in person.
And that was indeed the case, Dong Jinghuan didn't ask anything.
What happened next seemed to be a natural progression.
Three hundred years ago, Yuan Jing had refined the magical bed weapon with his bloodline.
She moved it under the waterfall, then she and Dong Kyung-hwan stepped aside.
The runes in the waterfall have dimmed.
Xiang Sheng walked to the bed magic weapon, clasped his hands together, and re-condensed the two characters "Gu" and "Rui", then snapped his fingers.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two runes flew into the water, and the waterfall suddenly slowed down, with signs of freezing.
Xiang Sheng stretched out his hand again and drew a line in the void. Countless past years turned into fragments and appeared in front of him.
This time, she didn't even need the assistance of Fire Illusion Feather. With just a slight hook, she easily pulled out the phantom of the waterfall from twenty years ago and merged it into the waterfall.
With this fusion, the flow of the waterfall suddenly stopped.
Then, accompanied by a series of "cracking" sounds, large amounts of rushing water froze into ice, pushing out the ice door hidden in the waterfall inch by inch, until it broke through the water curtain and restored the daylight.
The ice gate lost its support from the water curtain and slid down on its own, crashing into the bottom of the waterfall with a bang, splashing a large amount of water.
Xiang Sheng remained calm and waved his sleeves to block the splashing water drops.
She looked up and saw the cave entrance behind the ice door. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes. Without saying a word, she grabbed Yuan Jing's right shoulder, tapped the ground with both feet, and turned into an arrow, shooting towards the cave entrance.
Dong Jinghuan reacted very quickly and followed closely.
The three of them had just entered the cave when they suddenly heard a loud explosion behind them.
Dong Jinghuan was so shocked that he turned around and saw that the ice door that had originally sunk into the water suddenly rose up on its own as if time had gone back, and hit the cave entrance again.
"How……"
He had barely uttered a word when he saw Xiang Sheng grabbing Yuan Jing and continuing to rush deeper into the passage at a high speed.
He immediately realized something, his face changed slightly, and without saying anything more, he followed Xiang Sheng and ran into the depths.
Not long after the two left, the waterfall that had solidified into ice suddenly melted away, and the water curtain surged out again, pressing the ice gate into the depths of the waterfall.
Dong Jinghuan felt something while running, and looked back, only to find that the passage that had just extended out had disappeared out of thin air without him noticing.
Witnessing this change with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If he hadn't followed Xiang Sheng just now, where would he have gone after the passage disappeared? Or... would he have been wiped out directly?
How did Xiang Sheng know that the passage would disappear? Was it because of the Sword Intention of Time?
He took a deep breath, suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and made up his mind.
On the rest of the journey, he must follow Xiang Sheng closely to prevent encountering a similar situation again.
Xiang Sheng did not look back, but he knew better than anyone what happened next.
Her artistic conception of time could not change the flow of time. She simply used a trick to superimpose the past state of time onto the present to temporarily restore the waterfall's normal flow rate.
This state can only be maintained for three breaths.
After three breaths, everything will return to normal.
The same is true for Yuan Jing.
However, the flow of time in the channel has returned to normal and has not been affected by the illusion, so Yuan Jing's appearance has not aged again.
As for Yuan Jing herself, she had no idea at all.
She was led along by Xiang Sheng in a daze all the way, and by the time she came to her senses, they had already reached the end of the passage.
At the end of the passage, there is also an ice door blocking the way. There is a faint aura inside that seems to be about to explode at any time, constantly running around.
Xiang Sheng swung his right hand, and a "solid" rune flew out and merged into the ice gate, offsetting the unstable aura within it.
The ice door melted instantly, and a ball of colorful light flew out from it.
He stretched out his hand and took it firmly, then opened his palm and took a look.
As expected, another memory crystal was obtained.
I don’t know if there are any scenes she wants to see.
A thought flashed through Xiang Sheng's mind. Noticing Dong Jinghuan's inquiring gaze, he immediately put away the crystal stone, raised his head, and said softly:
"Keep going."
…
At the same time, Sui Lian was standing shirtless at the bottom of the volcanic lava river. His face was unfamiliar, no longer Wen Zizhen's appearance, and the blood-colored veins on the surface of his body had dimmed by more than 40%.
He looked at the open bluestone door not far away with an extremely ugly expression.
How could he not have imagined that he would pay such a huge price in this secret volcanic realm.
Long before entering the ancient forest, he left a tracking mark on Yuan Jing.
After Yuan Jing escaped, he easily found the exit of the ancient forest secret realm by following the traces left by the mark.
Although the snake and insect pattern restriction at the exit was exquisite, in his eyes, it was no different from paper.
With just two strikes, he broke through two restrictions and arrived at the secret realm of the volcano.
Just as he was about to continue following the mark to find an exit, he suddenly could not sense Yuan Jing's presence.
It was as if the tracking mark was quickly eroded by something and was completely consumed before he could find a way to remedy it.
Without any marks to guide him, he could only grope his way forward on his own.
However, before he could find the exit, the quiet volcano erupted without any warning!
The scorching magma swept over him like a flood, submerging him in an instant. The pain of his body burning reached deep into his soul, and even he could not bear it.
He immediately replaced his body in an attempt to offset the burning sensation.
