Before the sinking, the battle between King Ming and Che Qingtian was triggered, and most of the spiritual power accumulated in Yanjia's dantian had been consumed, and there was not much left.
He took out nearly ten thousand immortal jades, and threw them into the dantian magic circle that destroyed King Ming like a bean. Immediately, the calcining magic circle glowed bright red, burning like a raging fire. He turned these immortal jades into spiritual power and hoarded them. Still failed to replenish the spiritual power in Yanjia.
"As expected of a half-step Tianzun's Yanjia, the consumption is astonishing." He snorted, took out another five thousand immortal jade and put it in, and only then did he recover all the spiritual power of Yanjia.
King Ruin Ming, who had recovered his spiritual power, exuded that terrifying aura of destroying everything again from his whole body, and Shen Luo felt a little terrified even with his current strength.
Fortunately, this terrifying power is now completely in his hands.
A flash of excitement flashed in Shen Luo's eyes, and then he immediately regained his composure, leaving the Xiaoyao Jing, leaving King Destroyer Ming in the Xiaoyao Jing.
This Yanjia is his biggest hole card now, and he can only use it at the most critical moment.
He immediately walked out of the secret room, and destroyed the restriction outside the door with a sword, so as to prevent the people behind from discovering the secret here.
After finishing these, Shen Luo left Tiangong Hall, took out the map to look at, and then flew away in another direction.
Apart from the Jinshi Pavilion, the Tiangong Hall, and the Artifact Refining Hall, he has never been to the two marked places in the Spiritual Beast Garden in this Tianxuan Maze. Can't let go.
Shen Luo searched according to the plan, and arrived at the Spiritual Beast Garden a quarter of an hour later, with a dazed expression on his face.
The layout of the Spiritual Beast Garden is similar to that of the Tiangong Hall. There is a huge stone gate as the entrance, but the gate is half collapsed at the moment. It seems that it was destroyed by force, and the interior seems to be damaged.
He hurried into it. The space in the Spiritual Beast Garden was ten times larger than that of the Tiangong Palace. It looked like a small secret place. The sky was blue with white clouds floating. The flowers and trees are lush, and a stream meanders between the two peaks. The scenery is very beautiful.
There are black animal cages placed all over the Spirit Beast Garden, up and down the mountain, there are twenty or thirty scattered here and there, each cage is tens of feet in size, the whole body is black and shiny, I don't know what it is Forged, it looks extremely strong, and there are many intricate patterns engraved around the cage, which are obviously forbidden spirit patterns.
It's just that a big hole was opened in all the animal cages at this moment, and the forbidden spirit patterns on them were also dimmed. Obviously, they were all destroyed. Inside each animal cage was a shriveled corpse of a monster, which seemed to be the original spirit in the cage. beast.
"What's going on? Could it be that someone came here before me? It doesn't look like it." Shen Luo muttered to himself.
Whether it's the gate of the spirit beast garden, the breaches in the animal cages, or the corpses in the cages, they all seem to have happened many years ago.
He rolled over a corpse with a flick of his sleeve, and his brows were quickly frowned. This corpse was only an empty shell, all spiritual power had disappeared, and it had no value at all.
"It seems that some kind of spirit devouring power sucked up the whole body's energy, and threw the bones into the free mirror. I'll take a closer look." Huo Lingzi said.
Shen Luo flipped his hands over the corpse and put it into the Xiaoyao Mirror, and continued to check all parts of the Spiritual Beast Garden.
All the spirit beasts in the cages had already fallen, leaving corpses one after another, but there were three cages where a big hole was broken, but the inside was empty, and no corpses were seen.
"It seems that the spirit beasts in the three cages escaped. If my guess is correct, the corpses of the spirit beasts in the garden are probably related to the three spirit beasts that escaped from the cages." Huo Lingzi's voice came from Xiaoyao. Came out from the mirror.
"Eighty percent." Shen Luo also thought so, with a regretful expression on his face.
He thought that he could collect a large amount of treasures like Tiangong Palace and make a fortune, but he didn't expect it to be empty.
Chapter 1606
Shen Luo didn't stay in the Spirit Beast Garden, and quickly left for the last area: the Artifact Refining Hall.
Guided by the map, the Tianxuan Maze was useless to him, and he soon arrived at his destination.
The Artifact Refining Hall is similar to the previous Tiangong Hall and the Spirit Beast Garden. It is also located in a place with a large space, consisting of four or five large stone chambers. Unfortunately, it is also empty here. Obviously someone took the first step.
However, unlike the Spiritual Beast Garden, the traces of looting here are very new, and it seems that it happened not long ago.
"Fellow Daoist Huo, what clues can you see?" Shen Luo sent a voice transmission to Huo Lingzi.
He has cast spells to detect the remaining breath here, and that person seems to be hiding it intentionally, erasing all traces, and he can't detect it.
After hearing this, Huo Lingzi didn't say much, and flew out from the Xiaoyao Mirror, raised Gu Xuan's star plate and activated a magic circle on it, and a milky white beam of light rushed straight up, hitting the top of the Artifact Refining Hall.
A series of white spirit patterns shot out from the beam of light and spread rapidly on the top stone wall.
Huo Lingzi didn't stop casting spells, but he activated a silver magic circle on Gu Xuan's astrolabe, and countless silver rays of light spread out.
He quickly made a tactic with both hands, and the light of the two silver and white magic circles merged together, and countless tadpole-like silver and white spiritual scripts emerged, swimming towards the surroundings like living creatures.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's eyes flashed with admiration.
Tao Xiang also activated several magic circles in Guxuan's astrolabe at the same time before, but they all fought on their own, Huo Lingzi was able to combine the two detection magic circles, and the method was more than ten times better than Tao Xiang's.
White tadpoles quickly filled the entire Artifact Refining Hall, looking for clues everywhere, and there were also many tadpole runes swimming in the void.
At this moment, a flash of white light suddenly came from the depths of the Artifact Refining Hall.
"Found it!" Huo Lingzi and Shen Luo hurried over, and came to a dark red wall, with a large number of white tadpole runes attached to the wall, shining continuously.
Seeing this, Shen Luo was about to step forward to investigate, but Huo Lingzi had already stepped forward and emitted a red light, which hit the corner of the dark red wall, where there was a small bump, which was hard to detect unless one looked carefully.
Rumble!
The dark red wall vibrated and moved sideways, revealing a small door about Zhang Xu high.
"Secret room?" Shen Luo looked happy, and stepped into it.
Here is a fiery red stone room, not large in size, more than ten feet in size. A complex fiery circle is engraved on the ground, and there are many grooves in the circle, which should be the place to install immortal jade or flame spar.
At this moment, these grooves are all empty. I don't know whether it is the way it is, or the crystals installed have been taken away.
In the center of the flaming circle, there is a round hole about the size of a foot, and from time to time, a few flames come out from here, emitting a frighteningly high temperature.
"Is this the weapon refining circle?" Shen Luo looked at the fiery red magic circle on the ground.
"This magic circle is very interesting. It's really fantastic to combine the Lihuo Xuanyang circle, the nine-nine refining fire circle, and the dragon and tiger cauldron circle in this way." Huo Lingzi looked at the fiery red magic circle, his eyes were extremely bright.
Shen Luo didn't know much about formations, and he didn't know much about the refining formation, so he couldn't see the mystery of the fiery red formation, so he came to the round hole and looked down.
I saw a large black formation floating below the round hole, faintly in the shape of a vortex, and it was still slowly rotating at this moment. Through the large black vortex formation, there was a crimson sea of flames in the depths, in which countless crimson flames surged and mixed. There was a golden flame, and there was a rumbling sound as it surged.
"What is this black formation? Look at the breath, it's not a magic formation, nor is it a yin attribute formation? And these red and golden flames are earth fires? It doesn't look like it." Shen Luo frowned, feeling more and more that this Tianyan Palace is unfathomable.
He raised his hand and shot a stream of red sword energy, which slashed at the black magic circle in the cave. A long gap was cut in the magic circle, and wisps of black energy drifted out from the gap, exuding a special wave of breath.
"Warrior!" A silver light flashed in the void beside her, and Nie Caizhu's figure appeared, her face full of astonishment.
"There's a witch formation below here." Shen Luo also recognized the wave of breath and pointed down.
Nie Caizhu hurried over and looked down at the black magic circle.
The black magic circle has a strong recovery power, the spirit patterns in the circle flicker, the gap shrinks rapidly, and soon completely heals, and the witch power breath that emanates also disappears.
"What a powerful witch formation, it can hide its breath to such an extent!" Nie Caizhu said with a twinkle in her beautiful eyes.
"Caizhu, can you see what kind of witch formation this is?" Shen Luo asked.
"I can't see clearly, I just inherited the power of God Houyi, and I don't know much about the witch clan, but according to my feeling, this seems to be a summoning witch formation, and the flames below are all summoned from this formation. "Nie Caizhu said so.
Shen Luo was not surprised by this remark and nodded.
Tianyan Palace is a building suspended in mid-air, and it is not connected with the fire of the earth. It is not surprising that these flames are summoned.
"Cousin, what is this place? Why is there a witch formation?" Nie Caizhu asked.
She had been consolidating her cultivation in the Happy Mirror just now, and she came out only after sensing the fluctuation of witch power, and she didn't understand the situation in front of her.
"Fellow Daoist Huo, don't worry about appreciating the magic circle, you can find out who looted this Artifact Refining Hall." Shen Luo heard the words and then remembered the purpose here, and quickly explained the current situation to Nie Caizhu , and then looked at Huo Lingzi, who was still obsessed with the fiery circle, and urged in a deep voice.
Huo Lingzi just stared at the magic circle on the ground, without looking at Shen Luo, and waved his hand.
Numerous white tadpole runes appeared here, condensed into a big white hand, and grasped the void.
Streaks of extremely faint black threads appeared, and then condensed together, turning into a thick strand of black air, falling in front of Shen Luo.
"Demon energy!" Shen Luo's pupils shrank, and he immediately recognized the origin of the black energy.
"It seems that Wu Luo did all of this, and she really went to Tianxuan Maze." Nie Caizhu said with a slight frown.
She was already extremely sensitive to the devilish energy, and she could tell who the devilish energy came from.
"It hasn't been long since you arrived at the second floor of Tianyan Palace. It's not unusual for Wu Luo to find this Artifact Refining Hall in such a short time and loot all the contents. Could it be that he also has a map in his hand?" Huo Ling Zi finally stopped to look at the magic circle and walked over.
"Perhaps." Shen Luo's eyes flickered, and he turned and left the place.
Huo Lingzi and Nie Caizhu didn't stop either, and followed closely behind.
Several places in the maze were cleaned, Shen Luo did not stay here for long, and went towards the exit of Tianxuan Maze.
An hour later, he reached the end of the maze.
A white light gate is suspended in front of it, exactly the same as the light gate that appeared after defeating the human-shaped Yanjia on the first floor.
Nie Caizhu stood beside him, while Huo Lingzi returned to Xiaoyaojing.
Shen Luo originally wanted Nie Caizhu to return to Xiaoyao Jing, but then he wanted to enter the third floor of Tianyan Palace, which he had never set foot in, and Nie Caizhu wanted to be with him no matter what.
Shen Luo couldn't hold back Nie Caizhu, so he had to let her follow.
"Caizhu, follow me closely." Shen Luo said, leading Nie Caizhu into the gate of light, the figures of the two disappeared out of thin air.
Chapter 1607
As soon as Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu entered the third-floor space, they felt a wave of scorching air rushing towards them. When they turned around again, the light gate behind them had disappeared.
Shen Luo raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a big sun hanging above his head, releasing scorching power wantonly, and everywhere he could see was a boundless yellow sand sea, without any signs of oasis or living things in it.
"This place seems to be in a state of desperation. I can't detect any aura of heaven and earth in the surrounding space, and my spiritual consciousness is also greatly restricted. The range I can detect is less than a hundred feet away." Nie Caizhu looked around and said.
"I'm a little stronger, but my spiritual sense can only detect a distance of more than 300 feet, and for some reason, using the power of my spiritual sense here seems to consume a lot more than usual." Shen Luo nodded and added road.
"The distance of three hundred feet is not very useful. Let's save our strength first." Nie Caizhu said.
That's what Shen Luo meant, and he immediately withdrew his power of consciousness.
At this moment, he raised his brows suddenly, took a few steps forward suddenly, raised his sleeves and waved towards the ground.
"Hula"
A gust of breeze swelled out from his sleeves, and in an instant, a tornado of moderate size was rolled up on the ground, rolling up a large piece of yellow sand and falling to the distance.
Where the tornado passed, a semi-shallow but not deep pit appeared on the ground, and half of the base of the black stone tablet was exposed inside.
Shen Luo leaned over and took a look, and saw that the fracture of the stele was flat and sharp, and the color on it still kept the original texture and color of the stone, and there were no traces of wind and sand erosion or sand stains on it.
"The cut is so new, it seems that it was cut off not long ago." Nie Caizhu also stepped forward and said with a frown.
"The people in front probably did it on purpose. They took the entire stele away. In this way, we don't know which direction to go ahead, and we don't know what taboos are here. It's really hateful." Shen Luo angrily scolded.
Hearing this, Nie Caizhu showed hesitation, and said, "If I try my best, I may be able to restore this stele in the river of time and see its original appearance with the help of a magic power of time travelling. I know what was originally recorded on the stele."
Shen Luo was overjoyed when he heard the words, but quickly put away his smile, shook his head and said:
"No."
"It's okay, just give it a try. If my mana is exhausted, you can let me go back to the Xiaoyaojing space to recuperate. It's okay." Nie Caizhu said with a smile.
"No. Your time-retrospecting supernatural power not only consumes a lot of mana, but also consumes the power of your blood. Once you use it, it will be too burdensome for you, and it may not necessarily be successful. It is not worth it." Shen Luo shook his head firmly.
When Nie Caizhu heard this, she didn't say anything more, but her heart couldn't help but feel warm.
"Then how should we go?" She raised her eyes to Shen Luo and asked.
Shen Luo grabbed a handful of yellow sand from the ground, opened his fingers lightly, and let the sand and dust leak from his palm, but saw all the fine sand slowly falling to the ground, without any obvious flying.
"There is no vitality flow in this place, and even the wind can hardly be felt. Normally, if there were predecessors who were active here, there should still be footprints left." Shen Luo hesitated.
"Could it be that they left by Feidun?" Nie Caizhu wondered.
"It's unlikely. Most of these secret realms have void restrictions. It's impossible for people to fly away. Generally, no one would dare to try that." Shen Luo shook his head.
While the two were talking, Nie Caizhu's expression suddenly changed, and she pointed to the distance and said, "Look over there!"
Shen Luo looked in the direction she indicated, and saw that the ground in front of the sandy sea was surging like water waves, with several huge bulges bulging up, forming a row, rolling and rushing towards them.
He stepped in front of Nie Caizhu, raised his hand and swung it suddenly, a powerful energy burst out from the palm of his hand, and suddenly blasted into the ground, causing the ground to tremble.
A layer of sand waves exploded tens of feet high, and four huge gray-brown figures jumped out from the ground.
Shen Luo glanced over, and saw that it was shaped like a lizard, but its body was many times larger. It was covered with taupe scales, and there were raised spines on its back. It was a unique sand lizard here.
The most peculiar thing is that the eyes of the sand lizards here are all white, and there are no pupils of different colors.
After the four sand lizards rushed out of the ground, the two in the middle opened their mouths towards Shen Luo and the two of them spit out, and two balls of thick yellow light spewed towards Shen Luo.
Before the yellow light approached, Shen Luo smelled a pungent sulfur smell, and immediately slapped it out.
A huge palm print made of blue light flew out and collided with the two clusters of yellow light. Immediately there was a roar, and a huge flame exploded immediately, sparks flying everywhere.
At the same time, two whistling winds sounded from left and right, and the other two sand lizards swung their giant tails at the same time, sweeping towards Shen Luo and the two of them.
Nie Caizhu subconsciously wanted to jump into the air to avoid it, but Shen Luo grabbed her shoulder.
With a wave of his hand, two pure-yang flying swords burst out from left and right, turning into two flaming giant swords, facing the giant sand lizard's tail, cutting them off instantly.
