The blue light sphere flickered, appearing extremely unstable.
Ye Chenming hesitated for a moment, then released another stream of blood, merging it into the red seal. Immediately, the red seal trembled a few times, releasing a red light wave that covered the blue light sphere.
The light sphere then stabilized, turning into wisps of blue smoke, all of which were absorbed into the seal.
Finally, the red seal rapidly expanded, turning into a giant seal two *zhang* wide, falling straight down from above and imprinting itself on the giant stone.
With a loud bang, the giant stone was directly smashed into countless pieces. Strangely, the碎石 moved automatically without wind, and actually began to rearrange and integrate.
In a short while, a square stone platform only two *zhang* in diameter was formed on the ground. Dark, dull spiritual纹(灵纹: spiritual patterns) appeared on the stone platform, like a very small altar.
Zhang Ling lightly exclaimed in surprise, instantly recognizing it as a small teleportation array.
Teleportation arrays are not easy to build, and the materials required are extremely precious spiritual mines. Don't look at how small this teleportation array is, but to build it successfully, the value spent is at least the value of several magical treasures.
"Senior Zhang, we can reach the Ye family treasure vault through this teleportation array," Ye Chenming said with great joy, greatly relieved to see the teleportation array assembled.
Zhang Ling simply nodded, not immediately stepping onto the teleportation array, but carefully examining this small teleportation array. Although he didn't know where this teleportation array led, the transmission distance would definitely not be too far, definitely not exceeding a thousand *li*.
This also put him at ease, but to be on the safe side, he waved his hand, and a yellow umbrella floated above his head, casting a yellow罩(光罩: light罩) to protect his whole body.
"Let's go." Zhang Ling flashed and stood on the teleportation array. Ye Chenming followed closely beside him, and hesitated for a moment before saying.
"By the way, Senior Zhang, this teleportation array left by the ancestor is quite special. It doesn't require spiritual power to activate, but it requires some of this junior's blood essence to activate. However, this junior needs to release some blood energy to cover you as well, to prevent triggering the restrictions on the other side…."
"Since that's the case, then you cast the spell." Zhang Ling looked at the teleportation array under his feet and indeed didn't find any place to put spiritual stones. He signaled Ye Chenming to cast the spell.
Ye Chenming responded with a sound and patted his chest, spurted out a团(一团: a mass of) essence blood, while the fiery red seal turned back to its original size and was held in his hand. The magic诀(法诀: incantation) changed rapidly, and the essence blood burst with a *pu* sound, turning into a blood mist that covered the two of them.
Strands of blood energy stained the teleportation array, and the teleportation array immediately lit up with a blood-red spiritual light, flashing a few times before being activated.
Ye Chenming's face also turned pale. He had lost some blood earlier, which was not a big deal, but now he looked like this because he had lost essence blood.
After all, he only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, and consuming essence blood to cast spells would naturally cause some damage to his body.
Zhang Ling frowned slightly as he was covered by the blood mist. Sensing that he could easily break this layer of blood罩, he didn't care too much.
At the same time, he thought to himself, this Ye family ancestor also had quite some methods, being able to build such a special teleportation array here. If one didn't know the trick, rashly using spiritual stones or spiritual power to activate this teleportation array might encounter danger.
After the teleportation array was activated, the two figures flashed and were directly teleported away.
……
When they reappeared, they were already in an ice-blue space.
Sure enough, the teleportation distance was not far.
Zhang Ling only felt a heaviness and lightness on his body. As soon as he opened his eyes, he appeared in this space. He didn't even experience the dizziness caused by the spatial squeeze when using the teleportation array. Of course, this was also because he had summoned the Yellow Luo Umbrella to protect himself.
Scanning the environment he was in, everything was ice-blue. All around were chunks of giant ice. Except for the small teleportation array under his feet, everything was an icy environment, as if he were in an ice cave.
Ye Chenming shook his head, feeling a little dizzy. He quickly took out a jade bottle, poured out a few pills and swallowed them, and his face improved a little.
Although the shield formed by the Yellow Luo Umbrella had also covered him earlier, his strength was too low, and he was still affected during the teleportation process. Looking up, down, left, and right, all around were thick ice, and Ye Chenming also showed a surprised expression.
He didn't know much about this place either. After all, the red seal in his hand was not personally granted by the ancestor, but after the ancestor passed away, the family had changes, and his grandfather secretly let him take charge of it.
As for his father, he died when the family had internal strife. His father's spiritual root aptitude was very poor, and his strength was only Pseudo-Core Realm. He had tried to form a Core twice but failed.
The family naturally gave up on nurturing him, and even the position of the previous generation's family head had always been in his grandfather's hands, never transitioning to his father's side.
Even if the ancestor hadn't suddenly passed away, there would have been many disputes within the Ye family. Perhaps in the next clan competition, he might not even be able to keep the title of direct grandson.
But now, because of the family's upheaval, this inheritance token fell into his hands. This aroused the jealousy of his younger brother.
Scanning his surroundings with his divine sense, Zhang Ling walked straight ahead. It didn't seem very big here. There was only an ice path two *zhang* wide under his feet, leading to a stone door in front. Behind the stone door seemed to be the treasure vault secretly藏(秘藏: hidden) by the Ye family ancestor.
The stone door in front was only two *zhang* tall, smooth and without any carvings. However, it was in a half-open state, but the half-open stone door was also frozen by a thick layer of frost. It was dark behind, and for a while, he couldn't see anything.
With a wave of his hand, a gust of yellow strong wind swept out from his sleeve, hitting the stone door all at once. The stone door made a loud noise and was not pushed open, but instead, a cloud of icy cold air emerged.
He frowned slightly, not expecting that there was still a restriction on this half-open stone door.
This seemed to trigger some kind of restriction. As the icy cold air on the stone door quickly condensed, it transformed into a giant ice蟒(冰蟒: python), opening its big mouth and instantly shooting out countless ice刺(冰刺: spikes).
Zhang Ling's face darkened, and a flying sword appeared in his hand. In his perception, although this ice蟒(冰蟒: python) had considerable power, the spiritual power it emitted was only equivalent to the level of a sixth-order demon beast. He could kill it with one sword.
Just as the flying sword flashed with green light and had not been sacrificed out, Ye Chenming hurriedly shouted, "Senior, stop! The restrictions here are somewhat special. Once attacked, the treasures behind the door will be instantly destroyed by the restrictions left by the ancestor."
Hearing this, Zhang Ling's expression changed, and the magic诀(法诀: incantation) quickly changed. The flying sword turned into a sword wheel, blocking the ice刺(冰刺: spikes)'s attack in front of him.
The crisp sound of *ding dang* continued, and after hundreds of ice刺(冰刺: spikes) attacks, the ice蟒(冰蟒: python) stopped attacking. Very intelligent, it transformed back into an ice mist state and drilled into the door seam in a flash, disappearing.
