"The water flow in the Black Water Pool is completely controlled by ancient restrictions, forming a huge Evil Water Array. When we enter it, it's like going deep into endless undercurrents. Originally, Jin Mou(金某: Jin Mou, a name) summoned that Old Man Wan(万老头: Old Man Wan, a name), wanting to rely on this Human race Array Master's array methods to break the underwater restrictions, so that we could be much easier. But this person and that female cultivator haven't come to join us. Relying on the protection of the Water-Shedding Pearl, we can only slowly dive."
Jin Yu(金羽: Jin Yu, a name) casually cast several spells on the Water-Shedding Pearl, controlling the pearl while explaining the situation of the underwater restrictions.
Everyone naturally had some understanding of the general situation in the Black Water Pool. They had already decided on several plans when they discussed it before.
It's just that several plans were mainly based on Old Man Wan. Now that Old Man Wan hasn't come, they can only act on their own. Fortunately, with the Water-Shedding Pearl and the cooperation of several people, they can cope with the underwater restrictions. At most, it will just take some time and consume some spiritual power.
Dark undercurrents surged in the pitch-black water, condensing into huge water snakes. These water snakes were all transformed from the underwater restrictions.
The attacks released by Xuan Gui(玄龟: Xuan Gui, a name), and others could easily stop the water snakes from attacking. However, after dispersing a wave of endless water snakes, more quickly condensed.
Although they were all transformed demon cultivators, they couldn't withstand the continuous consumption. Fortunately, they were about to approach the bottom of the water. Everyone continued to dive in a depressed environment.
Half an hour later, Xuan Gui shook apart a large wave of water snakes and suddenly saw a strange light shining not far away underwater. It was a faint blue color and a small spot of light.
He couldn't help but take another look. The Black Water Pool was very strange. After diving so deep, he hadn't encountered any living creatures along the way, not even an ordinary fish demon beast.
It may be because of the ancient restrictions in the water, so there were no living creatures. The discovery of light at this time indicated that they were approaching the bottom of the water.
Xuan Gui was thinking this when he heard Jin Yu's laughter.
"Haha, look, the location of that light source is the Water Mansion left by Xuan Ming Turtle(玄冥龟: Xuan Ming Turtle, a name) below. As long as we enter it, we will not be trapped by the underwater restrictions. However, fellow Taoists, please be prepared. To enter the Water Mansion, there is still a special restriction to break. Fellow Taoist Xuan Ling(玄灵: Xuan Ling, a name), it's up to you next." Jin Yu laughed and turned to face Xuan Gui.
The eyes of the others also instantly fell on Xuan Gui. Jin Yu had told him about this matter before. Xuan Gui nodded expressionlessly. "Since the last restriction can be of use to me, Brother Jin, just tell me what to do."
Jin Yu waved his hand and took out the Xuan Ming Turtle's carapace, handing it directly over.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Ling, I will pass on to you a set of special blood refining methods. You should first refine this piece of carapace. Then, cooperate with the Water-Shedding Pearl, and we have a high probability of passing through the last restriction instantly."
Xuan Gui glanced at the carapace and found that this piece of Xuan Ming Turtle's carapace had many strange, faint blue water patterns on it compared to when Jin Yu took it out before. It looked as if it had been refined into a special magic weapon. Its volume had also shrunk to half a zhang(丈: a unit of length, approximately meters) in size, emitting a layer of dark black water spiritual power.
Xuan Gui took the carapace without hesitation. At the same time, he heard Jin Yu's voice transmission in his ear. A set of blood refining methods entered his ears. He squinted his eyes to sense it and roughly grasped it. After hesitating slightly, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of essence blood, wrapping the carapace.
Suddenly, a vague turtle demon phantom appeared on the carapace, which was the image of the Xuan Ming Turtle. Xuan Gui took a breath, and the carapace flew directly into his mouth and swallowed it.
Then, his body swayed and came directly to Jin Yu's side, sitting cross-legged. Spiritual power floated on his body, and he began to refine the carapace.
Long E(龙鳄: Long E, a name) also instantly arrived at the position he had just guarded. The crocodile tail wrapped around his waist flicked, throwing out black rays, dispersing a large number of attacking water snakes, and guarding this position instead of Xuan Gui.
Then, Jin Yu controlled the Water-Shedding Pearl alone, taking everyone to move towards the direction of the light spot.
As they got closer and closer to the light spot, everyone saw that the light spot was getting bigger and bigger. The light spot was not ordinary fluorescence, nor was it a restriction shield, but a huge jade stone emitting spiritual light.
The huge jade stone was integrated, the whole was faint blue, crystal clear and very beautiful, it looked like an oval, the volume was more than ten li(里: a unit of length, approximately 500 meters) wide, and there were many black cracks crisscrossing on it. It looked like a huge turtle shell buckled on the ground. It seemed that only a small half of the exposed part was exposed.
Such a huge piece of jade placed in the water didn't look like something original here. I don't know if it was left by the ancient monks, or it was made by the Xuan Ming Turtle.
The closer they got to that side, the more everyone found that there were many buildings buried around the jade stone. They could see broken stone pillars, stone balls and other things buried in the silt, like arriving at an underwater ruin.
Only the light emitted from the huge jade stone was like a beacon, guiding everyone's direction.
After a cup of tea, the people approached that side, and did not directly fall on the jade stone. But under the instructions of Jin Yu, they fell on a stone pillar obliquely inserted in the silt a hundred zhang away from the jade stone.
When the divine sense swept towards that side, they could see that the jade stone facing everyone was as smooth as a mirror, forming a semi-circular jade wall, with many spiritual patterns engraved on it, forming a strange mural.
On the mural, flowing cloud patterns, wind, fire, thunder and lightning and other illusory scenes were vividly depicted. The main body of the picture was the true spirit images such as the Divine Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, and the main part was the turtle and snake image of the true spirit Xuanwu.
Suddenly, the true spirit images on the jade stone seemed to come alive, and a series of phantoms appeared within the scope of the picture, walking on the surface of the jade stone like phantoms.
Such a strange jade mural was reflected in their eyes, and everyone couldn't move their eyes away. Only Xuan Gui was sitting cross-legged in the air, with a layer of icy cold air emanating from his body, still refining the carapace.
However, he naturally saw everything outside in his eyes. A wisp of divine sense also sensed the true spirit mural on the jade stone.
After a while, the spiritual power on Xuan Gui's body flickered a few times. He returned to a calm state, stood up, and with a spray, a hazy black and red spiritual light shot out of his mouth, and released the carapace again.
It's just that compared to just now, there are many blood-red spiritual patterns on this carapace. This thing has been stained with a lot of his blood and energy, and a wisp of divine soul has also been integrated into it. The treasure refined by the blood refining method can better display its power.
Several magic formulas were struck on the carapace, and the carapace rotated. In a moment, it turned into a blood-colored turtle about ten zhang in size. A dark black spirit snake surrounded the carapace, swimming vividly.
Xuan Gui's second Nascent Soul moved his mind, and the blood-colored turtle made a dull cry. After the refining was completed, he could easily control the blood-colored turtle transformed by the carapace, just like controlling a divine sense incarnation.
"It seems that Fellow Taoist Xuan Ling has completed the refining. This method really needs a transformed spirit turtle like Fellow Taoist to complete the refining."
As the blood-colored turtle made a cry, Jin Yu and others also came back to their senses. Jin Yu laughed even more, revealing a look of joy.
Several magic formulas were struck on the Water-Shedding Pearl, and the pearl emitted a strange spiritual light, rotating around the little turtle. A large piece of strange spiritual light merged into the blood-colored turtle.
Xuan Gui clearly sensed the change of the blood-colored turtle. The spiritual power gathered on the little turtle instantly increased several times. The hazy phantom gradually solidified, turning into a crystal clear, blood jade carved little turtle.
After the blood jade little turtle took shape, Xuan Gui instantly sensed a very familiar aura in the huge jade stone through the little turtle, as if it was summoning him.
The blood jade little turtle cried a few more times, and actually took the initiative to act, turning into a blood light, rushing out of the water cover transformed by the Water-Shedding Pearl, and flying directly towards the huge jade stone.
"Quickly control this treasure." Jin Yu quickly reminded.
Without Jin Yu's reminder, Xuan Gui controlled the blood jade little turtle that was about to fly away at the same time as Jin Yu spoke. He was quite surprised in his heart.
After refining this carapace, the blood-colored turtle was like a magic weapon controlled by him. He didn't expect it to be so spiritual, and this thing took the initiative to act.
Xuan Gui felt that he had not completely controlled this thing, and couldn't help but glance at Jin Yu.
Jin Yu just nodded at him and didn't say much. He glanced at everyone and instructed, "Fellow Taoist Xuan Ling, next, I will trouble you to control this treasure and release the blood light to cover us. Pass through the last restriction."
Although Xuan Gui had doubts in his heart, he had already arrived here, so naturally he would not shrink back. He glanced at the jade stone in front of him, and several spiritual powers struck the blood jade little turtle.
Under his control, the turtle's head and the spirit snake on its back opened their mouths at the same time, spraying out a large piece of blood light, covering everyone. Jin Yu also cooperated with him to cast spells, controlling the Water-Shedding Pearl to rotate around everyone, forming a thick water cover again.
Go!
Everyone took several layers of light shields and flew towards the jade wall.
This time, Xuan Gui took the lead, and the blood-colored turtle swam in the front, constantly spitting out blood mist. In a moment, they were within thirty zhang of the jade wall. Seeing that everyone was about to approach the jade wall.
A sudden change occurred. The jade wall suddenly trembled strangely, and the true spirit mural on it turned into another picture in a black light. It seemed that countless snake shadows were hovering and circling on it.
Before everyone could see this change clearly, a cloud of black mist emerged from it and expanded instantly. Vaguely, a giant snake phantom was formed.
Upon closer inspection, the image of the giant snake was actually a human-faced snake. The snake's body was a hundred zhang long, and a huge snake head was hidden in the black mist. It manifested into a pale human face, with strange black hair, like countless small snakes coiling and dancing.
This human face was pale and bloodless, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female, but it was indeed a human face, strangely embedded on the head of the giant snake. Before its eyes were opened, it let out a cry like a baby.
Everyone trembled and sensed a powerful aura coming towards them.
Xuan Gui, who was standing at the front, felt it even more strongly. He only felt a sound piercing through his eardrums rush into his ears, and he couldn't help but stop the escape light.
The human-faced giant snake that suddenly appeared exuded a powerful spiritual pressure, which was even stronger than the ninth-order demon cultivator Long E beside him.
"Human-faced Viper, how could we encounter such a ferocious beast in this place…."
The faces of the other demons also changed, and they all stopped the escape light. Madam Yan(燕夫人: Madam Yan, a name) and Liu Qing(柳青: Liu Qing, a name) even took two steps back, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
"Don't worry, this is the last restriction left by the Xuan Ming Turtle. In the past, this great demon king had beheaded a powerful ancient beast, which was said to be the Human-faced Viper. The demon soul of this beast was refined into a town spirit beast, guarding outside this water mansion. If we come here alone, we will be immediately attacked by the demon soul. But now we have Fellow Taoist Xuan Ling, who has refined the Xuan Ling Turtle's carapace. We are all stained with a lot of Xuan Ming Turtle's aura. As long as you don't expose your own aura, there is a high probability that you can avoid the fight and pass directly through."
Jin Yu chuckled and explained.
After the Human-faced Viper appeared, it did not move forward except for exuding an amazing aura. Xuan Gui and others also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that, as Jin Yu said, this powerful demon soul would not attack them.
Xuan Gui pointed at the blood jade little turtle swimming in front and flew forward again. Madam Yan and others also restrained their own aura and remained in the blood mist range.
For the sake of caution, he did not travel in a straight line, but detoured from below, approaching the jade wall.
Everyone could see the picture on the jade wall clearly. It had indeed turned into a strange picture. The picture was no longer a true spirit pattern, but a strange giant snake pattern.
The image of the giant snake was exactly the Human-faced Viper that had emerged. It was only slightly different. The Human-faced Viper in the picture was even more ferocious, with nine different human faces strangely growing, looking like a nine-headed snake.
Upon closer inspection, this was not a simple jade carving. The human-faced snake pattern on it was lifelike, and it was actually inlaid with black snake bones. Between the vague shadows, a huge snake shadow could be seen, looming on the surface.
It could be sensed that these spirit bones exuded a strong fierce aura. Obviously, they were spirit bones that had been refined by some kind of evil magic. The snake shadow in it was likely to be the essence soul of the Human-faced Viper.
Otherwise, the aura emitted by a single demon soul would never be so strong. But no matter what, the Human-faced Viper did not attack everyone. At this moment, they had to quickly enter it, so naturally they would not delve into the matter.
As soon as they approached the jade wall, Jin Yu cast the spell without hesitation. The magic formula struck the Water-Shedding Pearl, and the pearl flashed and merged directly into the blood jade little turtle.
The blood jade little turtle burst out a special spiritual pressure, and re-transformed into a hazy form, and suddenly merged into the jade wall.
Suddenly, a black slit cracked in the center of the jade wall, like a stone gate, opening a gap of several zhang long.
Everyone entered it without hesitation, and the spiritual light flashed again, and the crack closed again. The Human-faced Viper also re-transformed into wisps of mist, and merged into it and disappeared.
As if nothing had happened.
It's just that, slightly different from before, the pattern on the jade wall did not return to the original true spirit pattern, but still showed the Human-faced Viper, and the image of the Human-faced Snake had changed. The nine human faces strangely opened their eyes, exuding a captivating spiritual light.
Xuan Gui and others did not notice this scene.
