Hearing Gongshu Jiu's words, Xue Ying's heart skipped a beat. She felt that there was a layer of invisible light around them, trapping them inside.
"Palace Master Xiao's cultivation has improved a lot in recent years. He wants to unite all the forces in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm and has done a lot of things in the dark. That's why the Celestial Realm hasn't been peaceful for the past thousand years.
Ever since the attack on Baili Yan, the Fu Ling Sect and the Cangliu Palace have become more well-behaved, but in fact, they've been hiding and accumulating power.
If Palace Master Xiao continues to act willfully, the Northern Frost Celestial Realm will change sooner or later. I have no choice but to do this … "Xue Ying said slowly with a serious expression.
"There's no need to think about it. Even if you didn't contact me, the Heavenly Court would have already noticed that this place isn't peaceful.
In fact, the Samsara Temple has become more and more active in recent years. The Northern Frost Celestial Realm isn't the only place that is in turmoil.
I came to the Northern Frost Celestial Realm late because I had to deal with something in another Celestial Realm.
Coincidentally, the Netherfrost Celestial Mansion appeared, so I came here directly, "Gongshu Jiu said with a wave of his hand.
"I was lucky to meet Uncle Gongshu this time. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take for me to get out of here. I'm sorry," Xue Ying said and cupped her fists.
"This is a Black Tortoise Water Array. It can only be broken by entering the water from the outside and destroying the pivot.
All of you are already trapped in the array. It will only become tighter and tighter. Even a late-stage Golden Immortal can't save yourself, "Gongshu Jiu said with a smile.
"We were tricked by that old fox, Luo Qinghai." Xue Ying sighed with a trace of sadness in her eyes.
"Where is Xiao Jinhan now?" Gongshu Jiu changed the topic.
Xue Ying was slightly startled as she hurriedly said, "Junior had parted ways with him just before coming here. I'll lead you to him right away."
"Let's go." Gongshu Jiu nodded and waved at the void.
The massive snow-white Pi Xiu had swallowed the black millstone. It opened its mouth and burped. All of a sudden, the light dimmed, and its body shrank. It turned into a white jade handle, flying back to Gongshu Jiu's hand.
However, there was a small black dot in the middle of its abdomen, and it was still in the form of a burp.
Afterwards, the two of them brought the True Immortals and flew out of the lake, flying into the distance.
What they didn't know was that under the ruins of the ancient tomb in this lake, there was a black stone corridor that extended downwards. It was inlaid with pieces of irregularly shaped white fluorite, which illuminated the entire corridor.
There was a graceful figure in the passageway. She was slowly walking towards the depths of the passageway.
Under the illumination of the fluorescent light, her skin was whiter than snow, and her features were picturesque. She looked to be around twenty years old. It was Lu Yuqing.
But at this time, although her eyes were as bright as stars, her face was expressionless. She just walked step by step towards the ground.
The mountains and rivers engraved on the white stone wall glowed with golden light. Golden runes flew out of the layers of rock and winding rivers that were carved with sharp edges and corners and reached the white light screen.
The light suddenly scattered and then melted into the light screen.
The light screen that was originally violently surging suddenly became very viscous, as if it had been stirred into a large amount of golden liquid. At the same time, it became stable again.
Seeing this, Luo Qinghai frowned slightly. His hands changed the seals, and he let out a low shout.
Along with this sound, the shadow of the lotus platform suddenly shone brightly, becoming more and more solid.
At the same time, there was a slight sound of wind around the lotus platform. A blue vortex condensed, and a powerful suction force came from it.
Seeing this, Han Li's expression suddenly changed. He felt that the Celestial Spiritual Force in his body was like a flood that had opened the floodgates, crazily pouring into the lotus platform vortex.
He shifted his gaze and swept across the other people in the formation, only to see that they all had strange expressions on their faces. Obviously, like him, a large amount of Celestial Spiritual Force had been absorbed.
At this time, Luo Qinghai suddenly spoke, his voice coming from the air, "Everyone, don't panic. The stone wall's restriction is a bit stronger than we expected. It will take some effort."
"Fellow Luo, just focus on breaking the restriction.
If you want to use this method to consume the Celestial Spiritual Force of others, it's too crude. I don't think you're going to use this method. "Feng Tiandu said in a hoarse voice.
"Since Fellow Feng thinks so, I can rest assured." Luo Qinghai replied with a smile.
As he spoke, the lotus platform under him had completely solidified. It looked like it was carved out of blue crystal, and it was crystal clear, reflecting rays of light.
Seeing this, the corner of Luo Qinghai's mouth curled up into a smile, and he shouted.
The blue crystal lotus platform that had gathered everyone's Celestial Spiritual Force immediately flew out from under his feet. With a flash of light in mid-air, all the petals floated down, flew into the golden light screen, and landed on various parts of the white stone wall.
Then, a miraculous scene appeared on the stone wall.
Where the petals landed on the stone wall, blue light gushed out, and among the petals, blue lotuses bloomed, covering the entire stone wall.
Seeing this, Han Li's heart was filled with admiration, but at the same time, he was alarmed.
Luo Qinghai had ordered them to set up the Nine Palaces Formation Breaking Diagram together and use the Nine Spirits Absorption Technique. The purpose of the Nine Spirits Absorption Technique was only to borrow their immortal spiritual energy. The true method to break the restriction here should be the blue crystal lotus.
Just when he was worried that something unexpected might happen, Luo Qinghai's palms had already pushed out. His movements were slow and casual, as if he was pushing open the door to his own courtyard.
However, as his palms pushed forward and then separated to the sides, the golden light screen that enveloped the white stone wall that was already covered in lotuses suddenly shattered. A golden line also appeared in the middle of the stone wall, and it opened to the sides like a door.
The stone wall slowly opened inwards, and there was not the slightest sound. The valley was also silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the dazzling white light behind the door. Their expressions were abnormally nervous.
However, when the two stone walls were completely opened, there was still only a white light behind the door. It was so bright that it was blinding, and there were no strange objects flying out, nor any strong fluctuations coming out.
Han Li flipped his hand and took out a pill to recover Celestial Spiritual Force. After consuming it, he held an Immortal Meta Stone in his hand to absorb spiritual force, and at the same time, he used his Spirit Eye Divine Ability to explore the white light.
But very soon, he found that there was not much effect. What he saw was still a vast expanse of whiteness, and even his Divine Sense could not penetrate it.
"Everyone, the restriction has been opened. Please enter according to the previously agreed number of people. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to remove the method and close the restriction again. Only the heavens know what will happen then." Luo Qinghai smiled and spoke in a gentle but unquestionable tone.
Hearing this, Feng Tiandu nodded at Qi Tianxiao. The two of them took a step forward, flew into the white light, and disappeared. As expected, the rest of the Fu Ling Sect stayed where they were, and no one followed.
Immediately after, the two cultivators from the Southern Li Clan also flew into the white light.
After Daoist Huyan and Yun Ni whispered a few words, they nodded at Han Li, and the two of them also flew up and entered the white light.
The moment they entered, Han Li only felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
In the next moment, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in another strange world.
All he saw was a vast expanse of whiteness around him, and it was full of white mist. It did not look thick, and at a place that was slightly closer, one could still distinguish between the mist and the void with their eyes. However, a few hundred meters away, the two had completely merged into one.
After a brief exploration, Han Li found that not only was his vision blocked, even his Divine Sense could not see too far.
He found that the few people who entered this place before were also suspended in the vast white mist, and there was some distance between them. They were all looking around with serious expressions.
It was obvious that after entering this place, everyone was nervous, and no one dared to rush into the thick mist.
After a while, Ouyang Kuishan and another Golden Immortal from the Torch Dragon Sect also appeared in the white mist. The two glanced at Daoist Huyan, but they only closed the distance between them, and did not gather together.
Soon, Luo Qinghai also brought his disciple, Nan Ke Meng, into this place.
"Eh, why are all of you still here? Could it be that you're waiting for me?
That would be a waste of my time. "
He had a warm smile on his face as he asked. However, his eyes were unceremoniously scanning the surroundings.
Everyone present did not respond, and they were all using their own techniques to search for a direction.
Han Li looked at the mist around him, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. His Spirit Eye Technique was useless here, and if he used the Eye of Truth, he might be able to find something.
However, if he did that, he would expose the fact that he was cultivating, which was definitely not a good thing for the upcoming situation.
Just as he was hesitating, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the handsome man who was standing next to Luo Qinghai. There seemed to be white mist rising from the man's eyes, and he was staring into the void in a daze.
Luo Qinghai, who was next to him, seemed to be aimlessly searching everywhere, but his attention was always on his disciple.
Han Li's gaze turned, and he also looked in that direction. However, there was only the vast white mist, and he could not detect anything.
Could it be that that man had some special power of the Spirit Eyes?
Han Li was puzzled, so he divided a part of his attention and stayed on him.
After a while, Luo Qinghai suddenly said loudly, "It's not a good idea to just wait like this. Everyone, why don't you each choose a direction and personally explore it?"
"Hmph, this white mist can block divine sense, who knows what is hidden inside?
Isn't flying into it courting death? "The white-haired old woman from the Southern Li Clan said coldly, holding a golden staff in her hand.
"Since no one is willing to take the risk, I will go first," Luo Qinghai said with a smile.
