Chapter 522 Xiying’s Handwriting
Yuan Ming did not rush to activate the runes on the metal and iron, but waited for Huazhi to devour the tree demon and put it back into the spirit beast bag first.
Huazhi's breath surged, and vines grew out, entwining its body inside, and soon formed a huge vine ball.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming knew that Huazhi began to break through. If he could successfully break through, he would have another Yuanying stage combat force by his side.
He took back his consciousness from the spirit beast bag, took out the thunder hammer and held it in his hand, and then slowly injected spiritual power into the iron tree.
The next moment, Yuan Ming's figure disappeared in an instant, and then appeared in an underground hall.
The walls and ceilings were made of gray stone bricks, and the night-shining pearls inlaid in the gaps provided some light for this fairly wide space.
But compared to this firefly light, another light green spiritual light shield was more eye-catching.
The eggshell-like shield occupied half of the hall. In the shield, two figures stood opposite each other. One of them had an elegant face and held a compass in his hand, as if he was calculating something, while the other was dressed in a red robe with a resolute face, but there was a bit of depression between his brows.
"Oh, good luck, someone else is here."
The elegant man caught a glimpse of Yuan Ming's arrival, stopped calculating, turned around and waved to Yuan Ming with a smile.
The red-robed man also noticed Yuan Ming's appearance and frowned.
Yuan Ming didn't find his reaction strange. After all, this person was Yan Xiang, a Yuanying cultivator from Yehuo Island. He defeated Cui Yu and squeezed Yehuo Island out of the top 16. It would be strange if he had a good face when he saw him.
As for the elegant man, Yuan Ming had also seen him at the Immortal Fruit Meeting. He was a Yuanying cultivator from Hongyu Island, but he didn't know his name.
"Friend Yuan, you've come just in time. I'm Lei He from Hongyu Island, and this is Yan Xiang from Yehuo Island. I'm sure you've recognized him. We're trapped in this magic array, and we're worried about not being able to get out. Can you help us break it?" The elegant man said in a friendly manner.
"So you're the two seniors, Lei He and Yan Xiang. I wonder how you got here?" Yuan Ming said with a bow.
According to the information he has currently, the Nascent Soul cultivators from Fusang, Jin'ao, Kongling, and Dihua Islands may have entered Sanxian Island, but Lei He and Yan Xiang shouldn't be here. Could it be that the owner of Fusang Island is so generous that he brought in the Nascent Soul cultivators from other first-class islands in the East China Sea?
When he was investigating the situation in Fusang City in the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, he did not find any Nascent Soul cultivators from the East China Sea islands in the city. No wonder the Wu Yue Sect was able to capture Fusang City so easily.
"Oh, I passed by here with my friend Yan Xiang and accidentally found a formation pattern painted here. I was excited to see the prey. After studying it, I found the life gate, and then used my spiritual power to activate the iron tree, and then I came here. When I explored again, I accidentally touched the mechanism and restriction, and then I ended up in this situation." Lei He sighed.
"Senior, you misunderstood. I wanted to ask how you two came to Sanxian Island. The teleportation array leading to this place is located in the secret realm, and the two seniors cannot use it. But what happened outside the secret realm?" Yuan Ming shook his head and continued to ask.
Lei He nodded slightly, his expression still calm: "This matter is strange. We all stayed on Fusang Island, waiting for you to come out of the secret realm. Unexpectedly, a silver light door suddenly appeared on the island, and there were words on the stone wall next to the door indicating that this door leads to Sanxian Island. Naturally, we want to find out."
Hearing this, Yuan Ming vaguely understood something.
Xiying had previously tampered with the teleportation array in the Sanxian Palace. He didn't know what Xiying had done, but the silver light gate mentioned by Lei He was most likely Xiying's work.
But what was Xiying's intention? Letting so many Yuanying-stage cultivators enter Sanxian Island would only intensify the chaos and fighting on Sanxian Island. What good would that do for her?
"The entry of so many Yuanying-stage cultivators into Sanxian Island would be of great benefit to the actions of Wuyue Sect. Could it be that Xiying is teaming up with Wuyue Sect this time?" Yuan Ming thought to himself, feeling that he could no longer see through Xiying.
"How about it, my friend, do you have anything else to ask? If not, can you help us unlock this array now?" Lei He saw Yuan Ming lost in thought and spoke.
Yuan Ming came back to his senses, looked at the light green spiritual shield for a few times, and then bowed to them: "I am afraid that I will disappoint the two seniors. My strength is low, and how can I solve the formation that the two of you can't break. But according to Senior Lei He, there should be many seniors on the island now. I will go find one to help you two get out of trouble."
As he said, Yuan Ming quickly stepped back.
He just used the consciousness of the first soul to explore the underground hall and found that there was a teleportation formation hidden at the entrance of the hall, which might be a way to leave here.
Seeing this, Lei He sighed and was about to explain, but Yan Xiang stopped him.
"Lei He Daoyou, they clearly don't want to let us out, so why bother to humiliate ourselves. But his idea is not wrong. If he is not trapped by this formation, Yan Xiang would like to learn from him what means this dark horse who rushed into the top 16 has." Yan Xiang laughed with a cold tone.
"Daoyou Yanxiang, you and I both witnessed the battle between Yuan Xiaoyou and Cui Yu that day. Yuan Xiaoyou won fairly and without any tricks. Why should you be angry about this? Besides, there is a greater opportunity in front of you now, so what does the ranking in the Immortal Fruit Conference mean?" Lei He advised.
Yanxiang still had a cold expression on his face, and it was unknown whether he had listened to Lei He's words.
Yuan Ming ignored the two and came to the entrance of the hall. He took out the Thunder Hammer and shot out a silver thunder as thick as a bowl, hitting the nearby wall.
"Boom"
A black hole about a foot in size was blasted out of the wall.
Lei He and Yan Xiang were surprised when they saw this scene.
The light green shield does not restrict the divine sense. They have been trapped here for a while and have already used their divine sense to explore the entire stone room. They did not find anything unusual behind this wall. The Jindan stage cultivator in front of them actually noticed it at a glance!
Yuan Ming urged the Thunder Hammer in succession, and soon expanded the hole to a height of about ten feet, and walked in.
Inside was a secret room, with a magic array arranged on the ground. The spirit stones inserted in it became gray and transparent. Obviously, the spiritual power in it had been exhausted, and the magic array was full of dust.
Yuan Ming replaced all the spirit stones in the magic array and cast a spell.
A bright white light lit up in the magic array, and it was humming.
His eyes lit up with joy, and he was about to activate the magic circle to the maximum, when the white light in the array suddenly died down, and the magic circle also stopped working.
Yuan Ming frowned, squatted down, and carefully checked the magic circle.
"It seems that this magic circle has not been used for many years, and there is a problem. Yuan Xiaoyou, don't worry. Brother Yan Xiang is proficient in magic circles. As long as we go out, we will definitely be able to repair the magic circle." Lei He saw this and said again.
Yuan Ming's expression moved when he heard this, and he took out the silver token and opened the silver barrier.
Lei He was stunned when he saw this, and didn't understand what Yuan Ming meant by this.
He used his spiritual sense to explore, but the silver barrier was as solid as a rock, and with his spiritual sense strength, he couldn't penetrate it at all.
"What is that silver token? It can actually open such a barrier. This boy has unfathomable background." Lei He said secretly.
Yan Xiang's eyes also flickered slightly, and I don't know what he was thinking.
Yuan Ming was afraid that the barrier could not stop the exploration of the Yuanying stage cultivators in the silver barrier, so he set up several layers of prohibitions around him to block the exploration and entered the space of the Stealing Heaven Cauldron.
After a while, the silver barrier dissipated with a bang, and Yuan Ming walked out of it, bowing and saying: "It's not that I don't want to, but the two Yuanying stage seniors can't do anything about this green shield. I am just a Jindan stage cultivator. How can I save you?"
"Friend Yuan, we all see your strength, so there is no need to belittle yourself. What's more, this green shield is a trap array, which can only protect the inside but not the outside. We are helpless inside, but you are outside. You only need to use magic weapons to attack the formation and break it." Lei He smiled without asking Yuan Ming what he did in the silver barrier.
"Trap array? That's it." Yuan Ming nodded and looked at Yan Xiang.
"Don't worry, Yuan Xiaoyou. What Brother Yanxiang said just now was just a joke. Daoist Yanxiang, don't you think so?" Lei He said hurriedly, and winked at Yanxiang.
"It was Yan who made a mistake just now. Please forgive me, Yuan Xiaoyou." Yanxiang's eyebrows trembled, and he said reluctantly after a few breaths.
"If Yuan Xiaoyou is still worried, Lei is willing to swear by his inner demon. After leaving the formation, if Daoist Yanxiang attacks you, Lei will protect you even if he dies on this Sanxian Island!" Lei He swore solemnly.
"Since Senior Lei has said this, how can I refuse again?" Yuan Ming said with a smile, and took out the Thunder Hammer.
He had just entered the Stealing Heaven Cauldron and contacted Yan Siyun to ask for information about Lei He. He learned that Lei He was the owner of Hongyu Island and the master of Qiongyun. He was kind and upright and had no bad reputation. That's why he decided to help.
"Excuse me, senior, do I just need to attack the formation?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, just attack the two nodes of Kan and Li." Lei He's face lit up, pointing to the two locations of the green shield.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming injected his magic power into the Thunder Hammer, and two thunderbolts suddenly appeared out of thin air, hitting the two locations mentioned by Lei He.
A burning smell instantly spread, and the spiritual light shield also flashed, but then it regained stability.
Yuan Ming frowned, used all his magic power to inject into the Thunder Hammer, and two thicker silver lightnings shot out and hit the green shield. The shield trembled violently, but still did not break.
"The thunder and lightning power contained in this treasure of Yuan Xiaoyou is extraordinary, but you don't seem to be able to use the power of thunder and lightning. The power is scattered and not condensed, which is why the effect is not good. Lei has a thunder gathering technique here. You may wish to learn a little bit, which may increase the power of this hammer." Lei He's voice sounded in Yuan Ming's ears, and then a secret technique appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Seeing that the Thunder Hammer was ineffective, Yuan Ming was about to take out the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear to try, but he didn't expect Lei He to teach him a secret method, and he immediately began to comprehend it.
The art of gathering thunder is not complicated, it is a secret art of condensing the power of thunder and lightning.
When Yuan Ming used this method, the silver thunder in the Thunder Hammer immediately gathered in the middle, and soon condensed nearly half, and the silver arc of the hammer body disappeared for the most part, but the thunder and lightning destructive aura it emitted was much stronger.
He had just learned this art, and compressing the power of thunder and lightning to this extent was already the limit, so he pointed it out in the air.
Two much smaller silver thunders shot out again, hitting the two nodes of the green shield.
A cracking sound was heard, and two holes were hit in the green shield.
The huge shield collapsed with a bang, turning into countless green streamers and drifting away, and soon disappeared completely.
