Chapter 459 Concerns
Daoist Xie walked along the path overgrown with weeds and came to a strange rock shaped like an old ape. He stopped suddenly, pointed at it and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, why don't you take a look, what is this?"
Han Li frowned slightly, stepped forward quickly, raised his hand to wipe the strange stone, and looked carefully for a moment.
"Could it be...the desolate stone?" He frowned even more, a little uncertainly.
"That's right, it's this thing." Taoist Xie nodded and said.
"It's no wonder that when I probed with my spiritual sense, I couldn't find any fluctuations in the formation here. It turned out that it was covered by the waste rock. It's just that I didn't expect the effect of this thing to cover the aura of the formation to be so strong?" Han Liruo thought Said thoughtfully.
"If it's just these desolate rocks, it's certainly not enough for you, Fellow Daoist Han, to be unaware." Daoist Xie glanced at Han Li and said.
"Is there any other means?" Han Li asked with a flicker of eyes.
Daoist Xie didn't speak, and led Han Li to continue walking towards the depths of the dense forest. In the end, the two came to a relatively open forest glade.
When Han Li walked in and took a look, he found that the middle of the open space was scorched black. The low bushes that had grown had been burned to ashes by the flames, and a circular stone platform the size of a millstone was exposed on the ground.
The surface of the stone platform was also scorched black by the flames, and the rune patterns originally engraved on it also became blurred and difficult to recognize.
Han Li rolled up his sleeve robe, and a gust of wind swept past, sweeping away the ashes and dust on the stone platform, revealing the whole picture of the stone platform again.
"What is this?" Han Li leaned over to take a look, his brows furrowed.
I saw that on the stone platform, engraved with nine petal-shaped strange runes, put together like a huge dream epiphyllum, and the texture of the petals also contains many complicated and secret special features. runes.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a very profound dream-hidden rune, which can cover the aura fluctuations of many magic weapons and magic circles. After cooperating with the desolate stone, it will hardly be detected by the divine sense." Crab The Taoist explained.
"Since Fellow Daoist Xie knows the root of this tattoo, he must have a way to break it?" Han Li asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Fellow Daoist Han, please look at the center of the epiphyllum road..." Facing Han Li's question, Daoist Xie replied noncommittally.
Han Li moved his eyes and saw that there was nothing there. He frowned slightly and looked at Taoist Xie in puzzlement.
"That's where the Dream Epiphyllum stamen was originally located, but it was completely destroyed for some reason, and it can no longer be recognized." Daoist Xie said slowly.
After Han Li heard this, he observed carefully again, only to find that there were indeed traces of human destruction there.
"Since you have identified the origin of this pattern, it shouldn't be a big problem even if it is damaged. We just need to decipher it according to the law. Could it be that there is something weird about this pattern?" Han Li said after a little thought.
"Fellow Daoist Han, have you ever heard of the saying 'Dream Three Thousands'? The reason why this rune is called Mengyin is because of its rich variety and variety. In this blank space, as long as there is a rune change in the lines , the cracking method of the entire magic circle will be completely different, even if I have the memory about it, I don’t know all the cracking methods, I just want to try one by one, but I can’t do it.” Daoist Xie shook his head and said .
"If that's the case, then we can only use force to break the spell and completely destroy it." Han Li said after pondering for a moment.
"This... Fellow Daoist Han, you might as well give it a try." Daoist Xie said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Han Li saw that his expression was a little weird, so he knew it must not be that simple, but he changed his mind, and the golden light flashed all over his body, and he directly transformed into a mountain giant ape about ten feet high.
The mysterious orifice on his body shone brightly, and he let out a low shout, raised one arm, clenched a huge fist, and slammed it down heavily on the stone platform.
Just listen to a loud bang!
The entire stone platform was shaken, and a golden arc of light surged up, turning into a hurricane, hitting all directions.
Wherever it passed, sand and rocks flew, and trees collapsed. After spreading for hundreds of feet, the momentum gradually died down.
At the same time, the Mengyin runes on the stone platform suddenly lit up with a golden light, and golden lines like vines spread along the surroundings of the stone platform, extending into the depths of the dense forest like a spider web.
Han Li turned into a giant ape at this moment, so he had a wide field of vision to see extremely far. He noticed that there were golden patterns lit up in the entire city outside the garden, and the vine-like patterns covered the entire land of the secret realm, which looked dazzling. Don't have a view.
"According to my estimation, in order to break the restriction here with external force, at least the strength of the Golden Immortal Realm is needed. I can't do it with a blow with all my strength." Daoist Xie said after a moment of pondering.
"Even if it can be done, I'm afraid it can't be done. The runes here are connected to the entire secret realm space. Once it is destroyed by violence, it may cause the entire secret realm to collapse. What will happen at that time, none of us can do it." Estimated." Han Li said with a flash of light, his body retracted, and he returned to his original shape.
"Exactly." Taoist Xie nodded and said.
Han Li frowned and walked around the stone platform, seeing that the golden light on it had dissipated, his heart suddenly moved.
I saw his hands pinch the formula, and the golden light gushed out from his back immediately, and the wheel of mantra emerged out of it.
As soon as his gaze turned, the huge golden eyeball on the Mantra Treasure Wheel also slowly turned, and a real golden light hit the stone platform.
As the golden light fell, the entire stone platform flashed, and the scorched black marks on the surface immediately dissipated, and it became clean as new.
And the blank place in the center also glows with a hazy light, and strands of lines gradually emerge, shaped like stamens, extremely complicated.
When Han Li was about to take a closer look, the light and shadow in the blank space trembled rapidly and became very unstable.
After watching for a while, Han Li felt dizzy for a while, and was startled, so he had no choice but to retract the wheel of mantra into his body.
"How?" Taoist Xie asked.
"This space is really weird. Although many ordinary things contain the power of the law of time, they are extremely weak. Every time I use the eye of reality to investigate, the result is blurred and useless. No exception." Han Li said with a wry smile.
"Your mantra treasure wheel is not at its peak state, maybe after its full power is restored, you will be able to see the whole picture of this dream hidden rune..." Taoist Xie thought for a moment and said.
"What you said, I have already thought of it before. It's just that it takes too much time. After all, the opening time of the secret realm of Nether Cold Immortal Mansion is limited. Once the exit to Beihan Immortal Territory is closed, it will be opened next time. , don’t know what year and month it is?” Han Li murmured after hearing the words.
The only thing he worries about now is how to get out of this predicament. Of course, once he finds a way to leave, he doesn't mind staying here for a while. After all, he doesn't care about what happened outside during the few days he came in. Clear, but I think that Qu Ling will not spend a lot of time guarding himself here in vain.
"With your immortal body, your lifespan is almost infinite. Why worry about time? The strength of the heaven and earth here is no less than that of other places in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory. You can practice here with peace of mind. It will be the next time the secret realm is opened. That's it." Daoist Xie said suddenly.
Hearing what Taoist Xie said, Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
Before provoking a behemoth like Beihan Immortal Palace, his situation was not good, but now Qu Ling is thinking of him again, and with that creepy Feng Tiandu, he can be regarded as the best in Beihan Immortal Territory. There are many crises.
In contrast, staying in this secret realm is safer.
"Having said that, once this Nether Cold Immortal Mansion is closed, no one can predict what will happen in the secret realm. Once the environment deteriorates, the situation will probably be worse than Qu Ling..." Han Li thought over and over again , still a little worried.
What he didn't say was that if he was really trapped in this secret realm for hundreds of thousands of years, although nothing would happen to him, the changes in the outside world would be earth-shaking. Under the threat of the enemy, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, and he still has many people he can't let go of.
"No matter what, there is no way to leave here now. Daoist friends may wish to try to recover the treasure wheel's supernatural power first, maybe it won't take too long, it will be enough to see the hidden dream rune." Daoist Xie nodded and said so .
"Right now, it's the only way to go." Han Li nodded and said.
...
Time passed, and several days passed.
In the center of this ruined small city, a huge square with a radius of several hundred feet wide suddenly appeared.
Its central core is paved with white stone slabs, and the periphery is covered with newly dug reddish-brown soil, which is mixed with many broken stones, rubble and fragments of window edges and doors, obviously just been leveled out.
On the square, there are extremely deep ravines all over the place, connecting with each other, forming a huge formation with extremely complicated lines.
This array is called "Zhou Tian Gathering Stars Great Array", appended at the end of the second half of the Great Zhou Tian Xing Yuan Gong. It is an orthodox array that assists in the cultivation of this skill, and it is far from comparable to the "Star Gathering Array" of the past , even Han Li himself improved a series of star circles, compared with them, they are still quite inferior.
There are ninety-nine and eighty-one star positions in the Zhoutian Star Gathering Formation, which are evenly distributed around the formation. Each of them can be inlaid with a star stone, which is used to assist the cultivator to absorb the power of the stars more quickly.
Han Li estimated that if he used this formation to practice from the very beginning, the time for his Great Zhou Tianxing Yuangong to enter the realm would be cut in half at least. , and at least twice as much as before.
