Chapter 2178 Refining the Order of Life and Death

"No problem, I am indeed curious about the mysterious core area and want to find out!"

This time, the skinny old man who had turned into a puddle of mud agreed without hesitation.

In fact, he had been secretly planning to follow Matthew to the legendary core area to find out.

The mysterious core area has been attracting him for many years and haunting him.

However, when he saw Matthew's cautious attitude, he couldn't help but worry, fearing that his rash mention of this matter would arouse Matthew's suspicion.

The vigilant aura emanating from Matthew's body was like an invisible shield, making him dare not act rashly.

Fortunately, Matthew actually took the initiative to mention this matter, which was exactly what he wanted, as if God had opened a door to hope for him.

So, he agreed without hesitation, and his voice was full of joy that could not be concealed.

"Okay, that's settled. But before that, I'll have to trouble you to stay in this Azure Dragon Bracelet for the time being."

Matthew nodded slightly to show his agreement, and gently shook the Azure Dragon Bracelet on his wrist.

In an instant, the Azure Dragon Bracelet flashed a dazzling blue light, as dazzling as the bright stars in the night sky suddenly bursting with light.

The Azure Dragon carved on the bracelet seemed to come alive in an instant, with dragon scales flashing and dragon whiskers dancing, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, a blue glow suddenly gushed out like a dragon out of the sea, sweeping towards the mud on the ground at lightning speed.

Wherever the glow went, the air seemed to be ignited, and ripples appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the mud was tightly wrapped by the green light, and quickly sank into the Azure Dragon Bracelet as it was pulled by the glow.

"Fellow Daoist Ma, there is a floor in the upper left corner of this platform. As long as you can break it, you can get out of here. But before you leave, it's better to thoroughly refine the life and death order."

At this moment, the skinny old man's slightly urgent reminder came from the inside of the Qinglong bracelet.

The voice seemed to come from a distant valley, with a hint of echo, echoing in Matthew's ears.

The old man knew the importance of the life and death order and the difficulty of refining it. The reminder at this moment was not only for Matthew to better control his own destiny, but also for him to explore the core area with the help of Matthew in the future.

Matthew nodded when he heard it, and didn't say much. He sat cross-legged again and continued to refine the life and death order in his hand.

His face was cold and his eyes were focused. The air around him was still heavy, like a materialized lead block, which was so oppressive that it made people breathless, but Matthew seemed to be completely unaffected and devoted himself to refining.

Time was like a slowly flowing stream, and as time went by, the Life and Death Order in Matthew's hand was completely wrapped in white and black light.

The light was like two lively ribbons, entwined and dancing with each other, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

This object had long been separated from his hand, floating quietly in front of him, as if held up by an invisible force.

The entire refining process did not require Matthew to do any complicated operations, he just had to keep his mana full.

The two runes that entered the Life and Death Order would help him refine this object.

However, the consumption of mana was indeed not small.

As the refining continued, Matthew could clearly feel the mana in his body receding like a tide, as if his body was being drained out bit by bit.

From time to time, he needed to take out a jade bottle and pour some spiritual liquid into his mouth to replenish the consumed mana.

Matthew closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on feeling the changes in the Life and Death Order.

In his perception, the Life and Death Order was like a mysterious little world, with runes flashing inside and energy surging.

The two runes kept exploring and grinding inside, trying to awaken the hidden power deep inside the Life and Death Order.

Matthew could keenly capture every energy fluctuation, as if he could hear the subtle "buzzing" sound.

As the refining deepened, the light around the Life and Death Order became more and more dazzling, like a star about to explode.

Fine beads of sweat gradually oozed out of Matthew's forehead, like dew on the grass leaves in the morning, shining under the light.

His clothes had long been soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his back, but he seemed unaware of it and was still immersed in the key process of refining.

After a long period of hard work, the light of the Life and Death Order finally began to stabilize.

It was as if the sky gradually returned to calm after a violent storm.

The black and white light no longer flickered violently, but softly intertwined together, like a harmonious painting.

Matthew's heart moved, he knew that the refining had entered the final critical stage.

He took a deep breath, mobilized the remaining mana in his body again, and sprinted with all his strength.

Like a runner sprinting to the finish line, he put all his strength into it.

The Life and Death Order seemed to sense his determination, and the light trembled slightly, as if responding to him.

Finally, after a long and arduous refining process, under Matthew's unremitting efforts, the Life and Death Order was completely refined!

The originally dazzling light gradually became softer and slowly converged. Finally, as if it was tamed, the Life and Death Order quietly hovered in the air, like a docile bird, lightly falling into Matthew's palm.

Matthew slowly opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time, and a trace of fatigue that was difficult to conceal was revealed in the depths of his eyes.

However, behind this exhaustion, there is more of the indescribable joy brought by success after going through untold hardships.

He stretched out his hands with a slight tremor, gently held the Life and Death Order in his hands, and felt the powerful power and mysterious aura contained in it.

Then, Matthew slowly stood up. His body seemed a little stiff because he had maintained the same posture for a long time.

He gently twisted his neck and stretched his limbs to relax himself a little.

After doing these simple movements, Matthew's eyes naturally turned to a corner of the platform.

That was the place where the skinny old man said he could leave.

Now that the Life and Death Order has been completely refined, the next step is to leave this place and find the location of the seven spirit beads.

He was not too worried about this matter.

Even if the guardian beast is strong, he has already subdued the Xuanwu Beast King.

If it doesn't work, wait until the other three beast kings are subdued together, and then look for the guardian beast.

With four beast kings, there is no need to worry too much about this matter.

In addition, he could wait until he succeeded in reaching the Spiritual Transformation stage before doing this.

After quickly sorting out the subsequent plans in his mind, Matthew walked towards the corner.
