Rong Zi was startled and hurriedly dodged to the side.
However, she was unable to use her spiritual power, which greatly reduced her dodging speed, and half of her hair was struck by lightning.
In an instant, the smell of burnt hair wafted into Rong Zi's nose.
Rong Zi raised his hand and touched it, directly pulling out a handful of burnt hair.
Rong Zi: "..."
Good grief, are you serious?
Rong Zi gritted her teeth in anger, pointing at the dark clouds, about to unleash a torrent of abuse, "Who exactly are you? If you've got the guts... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, the tortoise shell hiding on her shoulder jumped out in fright and blocked her mouth.
"Calm down, calm down!"
The turtle shell was terrified and almost pleaded with her, "Can we stop pursuing this? Don't you want the treasure anymore?"
The dark clouds overhead didn't seem to intend to really harm Rong Zi.
After giving her a warning, they gradually dispersed.
Once the dark clouds had completely disappeared, the tortoise shell finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Zi ripped the tortoise shell off his mouth, "This thunder..."
The tortoise shell hurriedly interrupted her, "My goodness, please stop asking, okay? I won't answer you no matter what you ask."
Rong Zi: "..."
Seeing that Rong Zi's expression was not very good, Gui Ke hesitated for a moment, but still gave her a vague explanation.
"I can only tell you that this is the Immortal Tomb, and the Immortal Tomb comes from the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm does not belong to the cultivation world. Its appearance here is a violation of the rules of Heaven. Therefore, we will all be subject to the shackles of Heaven here."
After hearing this, Rong Zi's eyes widened.
"You mean to say that the thunder just now was..."
Shackles of Heaven's Way?
She had heard it from Egg before.
Thinking of Egg, who had died as soon as they entered the secret realm, Rong Zi's expression darkened slightly.
The tortoise shell remained noncommittal. "Go find the treasure quickly. If you ask any more questions, not only will you lose the treasure you want, but this entire secret realm may also disappear from the cultivation world."
Even after realizing the seriousness of the matter, Rong Zi still had a lot of questions.
But for the sake of the treasure, she held back.
Let's get our hands on the treasure first.
Passing through the densely packed spirit tablets, Rong Zi arrived at the round platform that the tortoise shell had mentioned.
The truncated cone is about one meter high.
There was a box on top, only the size of a fist.
Rong Zi examined the box carefully and was surprised to find that it was made of the finest soul-nourishing wood.
Moreover, judging from the quality of this box, the wood used to make it must be at least ten thousand years old.
Soul-Nourishing Wood is an extremely rare treasure in the cultivation world.
It's something that can only be encountered by chance.
Even she only had the privilege of seeing a small part of it.
The piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood was originally taken by Gu Xiaochui from the storeroom of her Divine Consciousness Space, and she eventually used it to make glasses for Xi Ling'er.
If she remembered correctly, that small piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood was only a hundred-year-old piece.
Soul-nourishing wood that is ten thousand years old is extremely rare in the world.
It is said that a wood that has been growing for over ten thousand years can even nourish the soul of the deceased.
Even if the soul is damaged, given time and the right conditions, the Soul-Nourishing Wood can gradually repair it.
Rong Zi circled the round platform, her eyes sparkling.
Even the box for storing the key is made of soul-nourishing wood, so how rich must the real treasure be?
Rong Zi suppressed his excitement and pointed to the box in front of him, asking the tortoise shell a question.
"All you need to do is open it, right?"
"Hmm," the tortoise shell responded, and silently flew a little further away.
Rong Zi's attention was focused on the wooden box, and she didn't pay any attention to it.
She stepped forward and reached out to take the wooden box off the round platform.
However, the moment Rong Zi touched the wooden box, she felt as if her entire soul was trembling.
The contents of the wooden box seemed to resonate with her soul.
Upon realizing this, Rong Zi was taken aback.
Before she could react, the wooden box in her hand opened by itself without warning.
The moment the wooden box was opened, a dazzling light burst forth, so bright that Rong Zi couldn't even open her eyes.
She squinted and turned her head, subconsciously raising her hand to shield her eyes.
Just then, a faint energy body flew out of the wooden box, heading straight for Rong Zi's brow, and forcefully entered her body through her brow.
In that instant, Rong Zi felt a pain as if his soul was being torn apart.
Her eyes widened, and she loosened her grip on the wooden box.
The wooden box landed and rolled several times on the ground before coming to a stop.
Rong Zi clutched his head in pain and collapsed to the ground, unable to bear the pain.
"ah……"
She cried out in pain, bent her knees, and curled up, clutching her head.
it hurts!
My head feels like it's going to split open.
Her mind was a jumbled mess, with all sorts of chaotic images flashing through her thoughts like a slideshow.
Every scene in the picture could touch her heart, but she just couldn't capture it.
They couldn't even determine what those fragments actually were.
It sounded like someone was calling her.
"Little sister..."
"Immortal Emperor..."
"Owner……"
...
Countless voices raced wildly through Rong Zi's mind, as if desperately trying to break free from some kind of shackle and escape from a cage.
She didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly, the chaotic sounds vanished, and a tall, handsome man's figure filled her mind.
