Chapter 117 Trapped in the Secret Chamber
“I fell in love with you at first sight, and I am willing to become your Daoist partner. If you like this mirror, I will give it to you. From now on, everything I own will belong to you. I am a fire spirit and you are a wood spirit. If we cultivate together, it will be of great benefit to both of us.”
"Fairy, what do you think?"
Han Wei sneered: "This full-length mirror is already mine. Why would I ask you to give it to me? You're shameless!"
"It seems the fairy isn't very clever. This mirror can't deal with me. How can you, a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, possibly fight me?"
The man in black sneered, and enormous fire pythons appeared from the sea of flames. All the massive fire pythons lunged at Han Wei. Han Wei put away the mirror, her body becoming light as she floated backward. With a flick of her finger, the Nine-Turn Ice Heart Lotus appeared before her, its extreme cold aura sweeping across the entire hall.
Click click click~
The main hall was frozen solid by ice and snow, and all the fire pythons were also frozen.
"Nine-Turn Ice Heart Lotus?!" The man in black was somewhat surprised, but quickly, he took a step, and all the ice and snow on the ground melted, and the scorching heat once again baked the entire hall. A huge fireball appeared in his hand, and the fireball looked like a flower bud, which then bloomed into a blood-red lotus flower.
This lotus is a flower of fire, and this fire carries the aura of hell. As soon as it appears, it is as if one can hear the wailing of countless vengeful spirits.
"The Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire!" Han Wei was extremely surprised.
This guy actually refined the Karmic Fire Red Lotus!
This is bad!
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Han Wei's forehead.
The Karmic Fire Red Lotus is a rare flower that can only be found in hell. It is formed from the karmic fire of hell, and even immortals have to be wary of it.
Upon seeing the other party take out the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Han Wei turned around and transformed into a streak of lightning that pierced through the wall, escaping away.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
The man in black snorted coldly and immediately chased after Han Wei.
————
The vast corridor was riddled with various restrictions, and two figures flew past one after the other. One was a stunningly beautiful girl in colorful clothes, and the other was an ugly man in black. They chased each other, but the girl in colorful clothes was ultimately faster. She quickly distanced herself from the man in black, then pointed her finger, casting several spells onto the wall.
Rumble—
The surrounding restrictions shifted, transforming into various weapons—swords, spears, axes, halberds—that flew towards the ugly man in black. Behind the man in black, a massive Dharma image appeared, resembling a deity engulfed in flames. The Dharma image clenched its fists, shattering the incoming weapons one by one, and a gale swept through the entire passage.
The passage was clearly made of a special material, and it remained completely undamaged despite the fierce gale.
The man in black, his face grim, continued chasing ahead.
A compass gleaming with purple light remained suspended in front of him. Although he had lost sight of Han Wei, she was still within his perception range. He was astonished to see her pass through the densely protected hall without any hesitation.
Why is this woman acting like she's strolling through her own backyard? She seems to know all the restrictions here inside and out, and just now she even used them to attack me. Could it be that her skill in creating restrictions has surpassed that of the Ancestor?
The reason the man in black was able to reach the center of the Jade Palace was not only because he was a fire spirit, but also because of the compass magic artifact floating in front of him. This artifact could calculate the weaknesses of various restrictions, which allowed him to walk all the way to the hall where the body-revealing mirror was placed.
If it weren't for his compass, Han Wei would have already shaken him off. Han Wei was simply moving through the barrier without breaking it, precisely to use the barrier to stop the man in black from catching up.
The longer it went on, the more shocked the man in black became.
He thought to himself: The ancestor once said that without this Great Evolution Compass, even he himself would have to be extremely careful in this Jade Palace. How could this woman...?
Could it be that she also possesses a magical artifact like the Great Evolution Compass?
He didn't believe that Han Wei, who was only at the early stage of the Integration Realm, could be more skilled in creating forbidden artifacts than his ancestor, who was at the late stage of the Mahayana Realm. He could only assume that Han Wei also possessed a powerful magic weapon similar to his Great Evolution Compass.
The two chased each other until they reached a secret room.
Han Wei entered the secret chamber first and immediately closed the door. Then she activated the restriction on the door, preventing the man in black from pursuing her. Outside the secret chamber, the man in black launched a fierce attack, the restriction runes flashing incessantly, and the secret chamber shaking violently.
Han Wei was in the secret room, looking around. It was a closed space with only one exit, which she had now blocked.
Rumble—
The man in black was still attacking the door to the secret room.
Han Wei gritted her teeth, thinking: He can't get in anytime soon, so why not see if there's any opportunity here? Even if there isn't, maybe we can find another way out.
So she looked around and saw many shelves. Each shelf held numerous bottles and jars. Han Wei casually waved her hand, and a purple bottle flew towards her, hovering in front of her. Han Wei opened the bottle and smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
It's a miracle cure.
All the bottles and jars here are miracle cures.
Han Wei recognized some of these pills, while others she didn't. But that didn't matter; with her Wood Spirit Body, she was immune to poison. If the poison didn't kill her immediately, she could survive and it would transform into her abilities, making her poison resistance stronger and stronger.
So Han Wei picked up the purple bottle and poured all the pills inside into her mouth, swallowing them whole. Like popping candy, she picked up each bottle and jar, consuming the elixirs within. Streams of medicinal power were released into her body, making her feel burning hot.
After Han Wei had eaten her fill, she sat down to meditate and refine the medicinal power.
Normally, she doesn't need to refine pills, as they usually melt instantly upon entering the mouth. However, now that she's consumed too many, she can only use her internal energy to catalyze the absorption of the medicinal properties.
Her power surged, and she began to break through the bottleneck of the initial stage of fusion.
Rumble—
Outside the secret chamber, the man in black violently attacked the door while verbally harassing it.
"My beauty, although the restrictions on this secret chamber are powerful, they are no match for me. I can break through them in seven days at most. I will set up a magic array around it, and then you will have no chance to escape."
"You can't escape, so you might as well just submit to me!"
“I, Li Chong, am a core disciple of the Lingtian Palace in the Void Spirit Realm, and my master, True Person Dongyang, is a powerful expert in the Tribulation Transcending stage. Am I not worthy of you?”
Li Chong used a combination of threats and inducements, constantly harassing Han Wei with words from outside. Han Wei ignored him, focusing on breaking through the bottleneck of the early stage of the Fusion Realm. Because of the restriction, Li Chong was unaware of the situation inside the secret chamber. Seeing that Han Wei remained silent, he let out a cold snort.
With a wave of his hand, two beams of light flew out from his storage bracelet, transforming into two mid-stage Nascent Soul puppets upon landing. These two mid-stage Nascent Soul puppets were clad in jet-black armor, completely covered, with corpses protruding from them, suggesting they were corpse-refining artifacts.
Li Chong, along with the two puppets, joined forces to attack the restrictions on the secret chamber.
