Chapter 240 Dou Zun's Remains, Turtle Spirit Earth Fire

Around the statue, there are some stone platforms on which various ancient utensils are displayed. Each piece is covered with a light layer of dust, obviously having experienced a long time. Although these utensils are simple, their exquisite craftsmanship and ancient charm cannot be concealed in the dim light.

As their eyes moved slowly, Xiao Ling and everyone discovered a stone staircase behind the statue, which spiraled upward and disappeared into the darkness at the top of the hall. The stone steps are old and solid, and each step seems to record the precipitation of time and the whisper of history.

Xiao Ling and the others approached lightly, and the stone steps echoed slightly under their feet, leading them to explore higher.

Looking towards the end of the stairs, there is a high platform. On the high platform, there is a jade bed carved from jade. The jade bed exudes a faint cold air, as if it contains the power that has been frozen for thousands of years.

As Xiao Ling got closer to the high platform, the four strange fires in his body suddenly fluctuated slightly.

This feeling is like there is mutual repulsion between different fires, and at the same time there is an indescribable mutual attraction.

This unique resonance will only appear when there are multiple strange fires in the same space. Xiao Ling's heart moved, and there was probably another strange fire hidden nearby. And this strange fire was most likely what they were looking for on this trip, the turtle spirit that the Venerable Turtle Spirit had conquered during his lifetime. Earth fire.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's eyes glowed with light, as if he had glimpsed the secret hidden in this ancient hall.

"It turned out to be the Ice Soul Cold Prison Jade, and it's such a big piece..." Behind the few people, Yao Lao's surprised voice suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility in the hall.

"Teacher, what is the Ice Soul Cold Prison Jade?" Qing Lin asked curiously.

"That is a kind of extremely cold jade. It is one of the few rare objects in the world that can withstand being calcined by strange fire." Yao Lao's voice was filled with a hint of excitement. He looked in the direction of Xiao Ling and continued, "If this kind of jade is used, Jade can be made into jade boxes and jars, and it can even store strange fire. Moreover, the bone spirit cold fire in my body just now reacted. Xiao Ling, I think you must have noticed it. Not far ahead."

"Hiss..." Xiao Ling took a breath and became excited. He walked forward quickly and carefully looked at the jade bed that exuded cold air.

Everyone also followed Xiao Ling's footsteps. The closer they got, the more they felt a bone-chilling chill, as if even the air was frozen by the cold air.

Although Xiao Ling possesses strange fire in his body and has natural resistance to cold, the Little Medical Fairy and other companions are also highly cultivated people and can withstand the cold air emanating from the Ice Soul Cold Prison Jade.

But Xiao Ling considered the comfort of everyone, and with a thought, he released the Hai Xinyan in his body.

The appearance of Hai Xinyan was like a warm light in the deep sea, and the ripples like water waves slowly spread out, gradually dispelling the cold air around him. This warm current not only neutralized the chill of the Ice Soul Hell Jade, but also brought a touch of warmth to everyone present, making them feel more comfortable in this cold hall.

As the cold air dissipated, everyone focused more on the jade bed and the body of Venerable Turtle Spirit in front of them.

On the high platform, the jade bed is crystal clear and exudes a faint blue light. Every trace on it is clearly visible, just like a masterpiece of nature. The cold air of the jade bed comes into contact with the warm air around it, forming layers of thin frost and mist, making the entire platform look like a fairyland.

On the jade bed, lying quietly was a skeleton wearing a gray robe. The skeleton's posture is peaceful, with his hands folded on his chest, as if he is sleeping peacefully.

The gray robe has weathered, but it still covers the bones, maintaining its last dignity. In the dim light, the skeleton stood out. There were no grave goods around it, only an unearthly tranquility and peace.

Qing Lin stared at the skeleton on the jade bed, with a hint of awe in his tone, and said softly: "This must be the remains of the Venerable Turtle Spirit."

Her voice echoed in the hall, and everyone's eyes focused on the gray-robed skeleton.

In the dim light, there seems to be a faint halo surrounding the skeleton, which is the trace left by the passage of time and the afterglow of the Venerable's powerful cultivation during his lifetime.

Xiao Ling nodded, with a solemn and serious expression: "It should be so. The aura exuding from this skeleton is different from ordinary people. It must be Venerable Turtle Spirit."

"Xiao Ling, go ahead and check. The Turtle Spirit Earth Fire should be in that body." Yao Chen said, stroking his beard, with a hint of expectation in his voice.

Xiao Ling nodded, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then slowly walked forward. His steps were steady and cautious, and every step he took seemed extremely cautious, for fear of something unexpected happening.

As Xiao Ling got closer to Venerable Turtle Spirit's body, an indescribable feeling arose in his heart. He could feel that the special wave that echoed the strange fire in his body was getting stronger and stronger, as if calling him.

However, at this moment, the originally motionless body suddenly changed. Dark brown flame light erupted from the eyes of Venerable Turtle Spirit's skeleton. The light was deep and mysterious, carrying an ancient and powerful power.

Faced with this sudden change, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo immediately became vigilant and quickly stepped forward. Their eyes showed alertness, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

Such sudden situations are often accompanied by unpredictable risks. They must remain highly vigilant to ensure the safety of Xiao Ling and others.

In everyone's sight, the body of the turtle spirit and earth fire seemed to be awakened by some mysterious force. It slowly rose from the jade bed of the Ice Soul Cold Prison and floated into the air. Dark brown flames flashed in its empty eyes. Watching Xiao Ling and others quietly.

The appearance of this scene really shocked everyone present unprecedentedly.

Qing Lin and the Little Medical Fairy were close to each other, with wary expressions on their faces. A poisonous gas began to gather in the hands of the little medical fairy, obviously ready to take action at any time. Qing Lin waved his hand and summoned several snake-like monsters, which quickly surrounded the two of them, forming a line of defense.

Zi Yan was also concentrating on it. She spread her fighting spirit wings and floated lightly in mid-air. Purple light flashed on her fists, and she was ready to fight at any time. The whole scene was tense and solemn, and everyone was preparing for a possible battle.

Xiao Ling seemed relatively calm, collected himself, frowned slightly, and asked Yao Chen, "Yao Lao, what is going on? Could it be that this is the remnant soul of Lord Turtle Ling?"

His guess was not groundless. As we all know, the powerful souls of Dou Zun-level warriors are shocking enough. Take Yaotianhuo as an example. His soul can survive in the magma world for thousands of years. This is certainly due to the blessing of the soul by the fallen heart flames. But Yaotianhuo can maintain his soul for so long, and he can also survive from this This shows how durable Dou Zun's soul power is.

Although the strange fire mastered by Venerable Turtle Ling may not be as helpful to the soul as Fallen Heart Flame, it should not be underestimated. Moreover, he is also an eighth-level alchemist, and his soul power is definitely much stronger than Yaotian Fire. Maybe, Venerable Turtle Ling's soul has still not dissipated.

Yao Chen carefully observed the situation in front of him, thought for a moment, and then responded: "This situation should not be a remnant soul. I speculate that this may be a mark of will left by the Venerable Turtle Ling during his lifetime. He may be on the body. A certain restriction is imposed, and once someone triggers a specific condition, this body will react. "

Yao Tianhuo also nodded and agreed: "Brother Yao is right, this is more like a protection mechanism. Venerable Turtle Ling definitely didn't want his body and strange fire to fall into the hands of unscrupulous people, so he left it behind Such a backhand.”

Xiao Ling felt a little relieved after hearing this, but he knew that they must be more careful next. He took a deep breath and said to the three women behind him: "Everyone, stay vigilant and don't act rashly. We don't know how this brand of will will react, nor what kind of test it will bring."

The three women nodded, knowing in their hearts that in the face of such an unknown situation, any reckless behavior may lead to adverse consequences for themselves.

At this moment, a burst of white light suddenly burst out from the eyes of the body of the Venerable Turtle Spirit suspended in mid-air, shooting towards the direction of Xiao Ling and others.

All of this happened too suddenly, without any warning. The light did not carry a murderous attack power. It did not arouse the alert of several people in the first place. Even Yaochen and Yaotianhuo, who were the fastest responders, failed to respond in time. reaction.

That ray of light cut through the air like lightning, shining directly on the bodies of the Little Medical Fairy, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Xiao Ling. Everyone's hearts tightened, and they instinctively wanted to dodge or fight back, but found that the light had already touched their bodies.

When several people came to their senses and were about to respond, the light dissipated as abruptly as it appeared. All that was left were the slightly flickering lights on each person's body, proving that the scene just now was not an illusion.

The Little Medical Fairy, Zi Yan and Qing Lin looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they were fine. Xiao Ling looked inside and checked himself, but also found no discomfort.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and confirmed everyone's status. "We have no problem." There was a hint of reassurance in his voice.

Yao Chen, as the most knowledgeable among the group, calmly analyzed: "This should be a program set by Venerable Turtle Ling in advance to conduct some form of inspection on you." His eyes sparkled with wisdom. , seems to have his own understanding of this phenomenon, "Such methods are not uncommon. Many powerful beings will set up various mechanisms in their own ruins to ensure that only suitable candidates can inherit their legacy."

After hearing Yao Chen's explanation, everyone understood the situation and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just when they thought this was just a peaceful anomaly, suddenly, a voice echoed in everyone's mind. This voice is low and full of majesty, as if it has crossed the boundaries of time and space: "Young practitioners, I am Venerable Turtle Ling. The fact that you can arrive here shows that there is some kind of special fate between us. I leave this Dao will is to find a suitable successor."

"Although after investigation, I found that you are not my direct descendants, but that is not important. If you can pass the test I set and defeat me, I will pass on my strange fire and relics to you without hesitation . However, if you cannot prove your strength, then you will stay here forever, become a part of this hall, and sleep with it."

After hearing these words, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and a glint of interest flashed in his eyes. It seemed that if he wanted to get the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire and the remains of the Venerable Turtle Spirit, he would need to talk to the Venerable Turtle Spirit first. The will of the person has been in a struggle.

At this moment, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo floated to Xiao Ling's side, their expressions were quite relaxed, and they seemed to have no sense of crisis in the current scene.

Yao Tianhuo asked: "Xiao Ling, do you need our help? It is not difficult for us to deal with a programmed will. If we deal with that guy, we should be able to capture the turtle spirit earth fire."

After this period of recovery, Yao Tianhuo's soul strength has been significantly improved, which is enough to cope with the six-star fighting power of ordinary Douzong. During the period of following Xiao Ling, he has been enjoying Xiao Ling's care and resources. Now, Yao Tianhuo also hopes to show his value through his own strength, so that Xiao Ling will pay more attention to his affairs.

Hearing Yao Tianhuo's inquiry, Xiao Ling did not answer directly, but planned to first explore the current level of the body in front of him.

After some induction, Xiao Ling has roughly figured out the strength of Venerable Turtle Spirit's will. Although it should not be underestimated, it has only reached the high level of Douzong, about the eighth or ninth star level of Douzong.

For Xiao Ling, who has conquered several kinds of strange fires and has many secret techniques at his disposal, he has enough confidence to deal with such an opponent.

So, Xiao Ling smiled slightly and replied: "Since it is a test, then I will try it myself. Facing the will of this venerable master is also a rare opportunity to experience."

When hearing these words, Yao Tianhuo's eyes couldn't help showing a trace of disappointment, while Yao Chen's eyes flashed with a glimmer of approval.

"Then, let us support you here. You just need to go all out and don't worry about anything else." Yao Chen gently stroked his long beard, his tone revealing his firm support for Xiao Ling's decision. "If you encounter any accident, I will do my best to prevent you from suffering any loss." After saying this, a sharp look flashed in Yao Chen's originally kind eyes.

Xiao Ling nodded, then stepped forward towards the body of Lord Turtle Spirit suspended above the jade bed.

As he approached, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more solemn, and everyone could feel the upcoming contest.

Zi Yan, Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin stepped aside to make enough space for the two of them to fight.

In the main hall, a battle spanning time and space is about to begin.

As Xiao Ling's steps gradually approached, the air in the bronze hall seemed to solidify, and the heavy atmosphere made everyone's heartbeat clearly audible.

He stood in the void, holding the Meteor God Soldier tightly in his hand, and the sharp spear tip shone coldly in the dim light. Xiao Ling's eyes were as calm as water. Facing the "Venerable Turtle Spirit" not far away, he spoke calmly, with a hint of calmness and confidence in his voice:

"Senior, since you have set a test, I, Xiao Ling, will accept it. Let me prove whether I am qualified to inherit the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire in your hands."

However, the "Venerable Turtle Spirit" opposite did not seem to be moved by Xiao Ling's words. The dark brown flames in his empty eyes burned quietly without a trace of ripples.

A moment later, a hoarse and majestic voice came from the immortal body, announcing the beginning of the test:

Since you are eager to prove, then let me see your strength. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the hall seemed to be clenched by invisible giant hands, and a pressure as heavy as a mountain was released from the body of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", making people breathless. If someone with a weaker cultivation level faced this momentum, they would probably be forced to their knees in an instant.

The Little Medical Fairy and Zi Yan reacted quickly, each releasing a layer of Dou Qi barrier, like a transparent shield, blocking out the surging momentum. Qing Lin was surrounded by a sixth-level shadow demon python and was protected without being affected at all.

Facing this momentum, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo looked calm, as if they were strolling in a garden, looking calm and unhurried.

Feeling the shocking strength of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", the three women couldn't help but sweat for Xiao Ling.

Qing Lin walked up to Yao Chen, with curiosity and concern in his eyes, and asked softly: Teacher, the opponent is so powerful, can the young master successfully pass this test? "

The other two people also cast curious glances. They knew that Xiao Ling's strength had reached the level of the three-star Douzong. However, facing the "Venerable Turtle Spirit" whose strength clearly surpassed the three-star Douzong in front of them, they couldn't help but feel... A twinge of worry arose.

Yao Chen smiled softly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. His voice was calm and confident: "Xiao Ling's strength is far beyond what you know. The power hidden in his body is enough to cope with this challenge. Believe in him, he will be able to succeed. Pass the test.”

Yao Tianhuo also added lightly: "Don't worry, if there is any accident, Brother Yao and I will take action in time. That kid, we won't let him make any mistakes."

When the three women heard this, the worries in their hearts gradually dissipated like clouds, replaced by their firm belief and trust in Xiao Ling.

With the heavy burden lifted from their hearts, their eyes once again focused on the tense confrontation between Xiao Ling and "Venerable Turtle Spirit".

The tension in the air seemed to freeze into ice, and every breath could feel the aura of battle about to break out.

As "Venerable Turtle Spirit" released his aura, the atmosphere in the entire hall became more tense. His momentum was like an unsheathed sword, sharp and unstoppable.

He raised his somewhat dry palm, and in his palm, a dark brown flame leaped up. The flame was beating, exuding a heart-stopping high temperature, as if even the air could be ignited.
