Chapter 652: Yin Spirit Spell
"Brother Ye, this place looks like an underground spiritual vein, but judging from its desolate appearance, it must have been abandoned for a long time."
Following the black air, Yu Wanqing looked around with her beautiful eyes, as if she had judged something.
Ye Chunyang was silent for a while, and then several spiritual lights flashed from his fingertips, hitting a boulder not far away with a rumbling sound, and instantly turned into gravel and splashed.
He took a piece of gravel in his hand and measured it. After a moment, he seemed to have discovered something. He frowned and nodded, saying: "Miss Yu is right. This place was indeed a spiritual vein, but now it has dried up."
Yu Wanqing was about to say something, but Ye Chunyang said something that surprised her: "Judging from the degree of exhaustion of this spiritual stone, this place has probably been abandoned for tens of thousands of years."
"What? In that case, could this place be a spiritual vein in ancient times?"
Yu Wanqing took a breath.
Ye Chunyang looked thoughtful and said, "Didn't you say that the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Demons was a strange place opened up by ancient cultivators? Judging from the situation here, if I'm not mistaken, this is probably the place where they used to seal the evil demons."
"Yes, my Xuanyue Divine Sect once had a book recording the origin of the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. If it is true as Brother Ye speculated, it is not surprising that this vein has existed since the ancient times." Yu Wanqing thought about it for a while and then realized it.
She looked up and saw that the black air transformed by several demon insects did not continue to escape after arriving here, but stopped in the distance and hovered, as if looking for something.
"These black air should be controlled by some thoughts, otherwise they would never escape to this place on their own, but why did they stop moving after arriving here?" Seeing this scene, Yu Wanqing couldn't help but be suspicious.
She didn't know that while he was talking, Ye Chunyang's consciousness had already explored around the black air, and then his face changed slightly as if he felt something strange. Then he slapped the Qiankun bag, and several colorful flags flew out.
He waved the flags, and the wind suddenly blew up, and dazzling streams of light shot up into the sky. The flags that flew out of Ye Chunyang's bag flashed and swirled and intertwined, and the surrounding demonic energy was instantly dispelled.
A shocking scene appeared.
After the magic array dispelled the demonic energy, several hills around suddenly moved, and they spun rapidly from slow to fast as if moving mountains and overturning the sea. Then, a huge gully emerged in a thunderous explosion, and an altar-like site broke out of the ground.
The altar was about a hundred feet wide, surrounded by eight stone pillars, covered with evil runes and countless hideous and terrifying human faces, like some kind of magic method, emitting bursts of extremely dense black air.
The aura was actually consistent with the magic insect and the magic light sword array.
At the moment when the altar emerged, the two of them clearly heard a series of piercing screams, and then the several black air that brought them here also flew towards the eight stone pillars with great excitement as if they were inspired, and instantly disappeared into them.
Yu Wanqing's face showed great shock. She didn't expect that such a strange altar was hidden under this abandoned spiritual vein, and it was pulled out by Ye Chunyang's magic circle. When the eight stone pillars emerged from the ground, she stared at the runes on them with her beautiful eyes wide open, and a little strange color flashed in her eyes.
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly. Just now, he felt from the black air transformed by those demon insects through his spiritual sense that they seemed to have a strong intention towards this place. He couldn't help but infer that there might be a secret hidden here. After increasing his perception and detection, he found that there were some abnormal fluctuations in this abandoned spiritual vein, so he activated the magic circle to pull it out.
I didn't expect it to be such an unexpected scene.
Judging from the aura flowing on the altar at this time, it is obvious that the previous magic light sword formation and magic insects all came from here, but for some reason, except for the magic energy transformed by the magic insects, the sword formation is nowhere to be found.
"Yin Ling Fa Zhu..."
Just when Ye Chunyang was puzzled, he heard a murmur from his side. Yu Wanqing's beautiful eyes stared at the eight stone pillars on the altar, her eyes flickered, as if she saw something from this place.
"Miss Yu, do you recognize this altar?" Ye Chunyang's face flashed with suspicion.
Yu Wanqing was a little absent-minded, and only came back after hearing the question.
"This altar is called Yin Ling Fa Zhu. It is a magic formation used by my Xuanyue Divine Sect to seal evil demons, but this formation is too sinister and evil. The formation method has long been erased by the predecessors of the sect. I didn't expect it to appear here."
She walked forward slowly, stood under a stone pillar, raised her head and stared, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and she murmured to herself.
"Could it be left by the elders of your sect?" Ye Chunyang speculated.
Yu Wanqing seemed to be thinking after hearing this.
She seemed to have the same idea as him. After walking up to the altar of Yin Ling Magic Spell, Yu Wanqing raised her hand, mobilized her magic power and gently wiped the black jade bracelet, carefully observing it.
But after a while, there was nothing unusual about this treasure.
Seeing this, Yu Wanqing's face flashed with disappointment, and she said: "The notes of my predecessors only mentioned that the masters who chased the defected elder had gone deep into the ancient cave of ten thousand demons, and the Yin Ling magic spell was only set up by people in my sect. The appearance of this formation here must be related to them, but the black jade bracelet has no response here, and it is estimated that the dry dragon jade is not here."
Ye Chunyang nodded slightly. This matter was unexpected and reasonable.
The dry dragon jade has been lost for a long time. It would be strange if it could be easily found.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Since this formation comes from your sect, we might as well look around. Maybe there will be some clues."
Yu Wanqing also had this idea, and immediately surrounded the eight stone pillars to examine.
But just as they approached, the two of them took a deep breath, because they found that the faces in the eight stone pillars were not illusions of demonic energy but real, as if living people were melted into them.
"The people in these stone pillars were sacrificed alive. No wonder our ancestors were so taboo about this formation. Although such a sinister formation is powerful, the means of sacrificing so many living people are too cruel. Moreover, the heavy resentment formed by so many Yin spirits living here for a long time will also cause great hidden dangers to themselves."
Yu Wanqing was shocked.
Her understanding of the Yin Ling spell was limited to what she learned from the classics. She only knew that this formation was insidious and vicious, but she didn't expect that it was a way of sacrificing living people. Although the Xuanyue Divine Sect mainly practices magic skills, it will not do such a thing of killing innocent people.
Ye Chunyang shrugged, his face as calm as ancient water. He had no interest in knowing the past of the Xuanyue Divine Sect, nor did he want to know the origin of this Yin Ling spell. He just wanted to find clues about the Ganlong Jade as soon as possible.
Yu Wanqing looked around with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, her eyebrows suddenly raised, and the Tianjue Blade inserted behind her made a low humming sound.
This scene was naturally seen by Ye Chunyang. He looked at her in surprise, and saw that the Tianjue Blade flew out from behind the woman and quickly lingered around the eight stone pillars of the altar.
Judging from the appearance of this Tianjue Blade, no one would believe that this thing would be a magic weapon of a weak woman, but because the blade was really huge, it was even more amazing after being released.
Yu Wanqing didn't know why the Tianjue Blade suddenly changed, and hurriedly pinched the formula to recall it, but the blade seemed to be out of control. Not only did it not respond to her summons, but the demonic energy was rising wildly. A mysterious rune appeared and disappeared on the handle of the blade, and finally formed a dark light symbol that flew into the air and exerted a strong suction force on the eight stone pillars on the altar.
For a moment, waves of materialized demonic energy were seen being drawn into the black light symbol. The aura of the Heavenly Absolute Blade also surged in front of Yu Wanqing's shocked eyes. The demonic energy and human faces in the eight stone pillars gradually faded, and even the entire altar dimmed, as if they had become supplements to the Heavenly Absolute Blade.
Only after all the demonic energy in the stone pillars was absorbed did the Heavenly Absolute Blade return to Yu Wanqing's hands on its own.
Yu Wanqing looked at it with surprise. Although she was suspicious, she could not hide her joy in her eyes. After absorbing a lot of demonic energy, she clearly noticed that the aura of the Heavenly Absolute Blade became more fierce after absorbing a lot of demonic energy, and it was obviously improved.
"I didn't expect that Miss Yu's magic weapon could absorb demonic energy to improve. It is really a rare treasure in the world." Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but praise.
"To be honest with Brother Ye, this Heavenly Absolute Blade is the treasure of my Xuanyue Divine Sect. Although Wanqing was lucky enough to get it, her cultivation was too low to exert its power." Yu Wanqing said.
"Miss Yu, you don't have to worry. The upper-level spiritual treasure must be at least in the late stage of magic power to fully stimulate the spiritual power of the treasure. Although you can only exert 30% now, this treasure will bring you great help only when you advance in the future." Ye Chunyang smiled and comforted.
"I hope so, but it is not easy to break through the late stage of magic power. Brother Ye has made rapid progress, which makes me feel inferior. With brother Ye's talent, no one in Tianxinghai can match it." Yu Wanqing looked at Ye Chunyang, and a trace of complexity flashed across her eyes.
Recalling the first meeting in Huaxuemen, the two were only at the level of Qi Refining. After that, he shocked him several times when he met him, and even now he has reached the point where she has to look up to him. Who can match this talent?
"Talent?"
Ye Chunyang pursed his lips after hearing this, and a strange look appeared on his face, but he did not explain anything.
Seeing that he had no intention of discussing further, Yu Wanqing also tactfully stopped talking. She turned her head and looked at the altar in front of her. She changed the subject and continued, "Now that the altar has been destroyed and there is no demon worm to lead the way, it seems that we have no choice but to continue to go deeper into the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Demons to find the dry dragon jade."
Ye Chunyang showed a trace of hesitation on his face and said, "The situation in the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is complicated. Such an aimless search is not a solution. Instead, it will alarm some powerful ghosts inside. It is better to find another way."
The complexity of the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is far beyond imagination. If you trespass recklessly, it will probably cause unpredictable crises like before.
"Brother Ye, do you have any good ideas?" Yu Wanqing's heart moved when she heard this.
"A way..."
Ye Chunyang looked over the altar at the ravine under the mountain, frowning and thinking about something, but just halfway through his words, he suddenly heard a rhythmic sound of footsteps coming from below, and carrying a low roar that pierced the eardrum, as if some giant monster was moving, and the whole mountain was shaking with it.
