"This is not fireworks, how can it be beautiful?" Ma Congqiu was speechless about this junior fellow apprentice of Qianji Sect. He looked like a vase and spoke like a vase.
You Fushi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, just a quick glance without any emotion.
For a moment, Ma Congqiu felt as if the surroundings had frozen, as if his throat was pinched by invisible hands, and his face suddenly changed.
Ye Su seemed to sense something and turned her head to look at You Fushi, but she only saw her junior brother with his eyes drooping and a very sleepy look on his face. He also stuffed the Earth Illusion Lotus into her hand, but she was too lazy to take it.
The invisible aura disappeared without a trace again, and Ma Congqiu even wondered if he was having an illusion.
It's impossible. This junior brother from Qianji Sect is not as powerful as the previous Yi Xuan. I must have had an illusion just now.
Thinking of this, Ma Congqiu felt annoyed by the fear he had just felt.
"The four-sided staff is a special tool of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. It can suppress demons and clear the mind." Xu Chengyu looked at the strange-looking staff on the lotus platform and said, "Perhaps the secret realm here was left behind by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect."
After he said that, he frowned and threw the sword on the ground.
Zhou Yun sensed something was wrong: "Big Brother?"
Xu Chengyu raised his hand: "I'm fine?"
The spiritual energy here was too dense, and he had just comprehended the sword intent, so he could not suppress his boiling soul at all.
"You are about to break through." Ye Su understood and came over and said, "Brother Xu, just leave one person here."
A Jindan-stage swordsman, plus Lu Jiu, and she herself is also here. There are no monsters here, so they can always protect themselves.
The surrounding spiritual energy began to flow towards Xu Chengyu. He turned around and looked at Ming Liusha and the other two who were meditating, and said to Cong Qiu: "You come with me, and Junior Sister Zhou stay here to protect them."
Zhou Yun's swordsmanship is better than Ma Congqiu's, so Xu Chengyu feels more at ease if he stays here.
After all, their Wujian Sect promised to protect Qianji Sect, but now, it is he who has made a breakthrough in the secret realm on his own.
Xu Chengyu wanted to reach the Nascent Soul stage, which required a huge amount of spiritual energy, and might interfere with the breakthroughs of Ming Liusha and the others, so he had to move to other places.
As soon as he and Ma Congqiu left, Ye Su took out the Flying Mirror Armor and threw it into the sky, opening the protective shield and covering Ming Liusha and the other two.
The monks on the lotus platform were fighting each other to the point of bleeding heads just to fight for the staff on it. Not everyone could fully recognize what it was, but it was obviously a treasure.
There may be people watching nearby, waiting to take action at the last moment, and they will look towards Ye Su vigilantly.
"Ye Su." Lu Jiu said with a strange look on his face, "I think I'm about to break through too."
The spiritual energy here is really too rich, and she cannot fully control herself to absorb and transform it.
"You go in." Ye Su glanced at the protective shield and said to Lu Jiu.
After Lu Jiu went in and sat down, ready to break through, he saw cultivators in his realm stopping one after another, setting up protective magic weapons around him and breaking through on the spot.
Ye Su's gaze fell on Xu Chengyu in the distance, and then swept over the cultivators who were breaking through in various corners. His brows gradually frowned: Something is not right, too many people are about to break through.
Ma Congqiu had said before that he felt the spiritual energy here was too strong and guessed that there was some kind of formation set up underneath.
"Ye Su, I'm sleepy." You Fushi next to him said again.
Ye Su turned to look at him, and just as he was about to say something, he saw his junior brother falling straight towards him.
She stretched out her hand to hold You Fushi: “…” Is this sleepy, not dizzy
"What's going on with them?" Zhou Yun had already seen Ma Congqiu sitting down in the distance. He was obviously there to protect the law.
Ye Su said nothing, looking at the lotus platform expressionlessly.
At this moment, most people were in a state of concentration, breaking through the realm, and only a few were awake. There were two monks on the lotus platform, who took the lead and grasped the four-sided Ksitigarbha staff from the left and right sides at the same time.
The two of them did not let go of each other, and each pulled them towards themselves, while the other hand released spiritual power to attack the other.
The four-sided Ksitigarbha staff floating on the lotus platform began to shake due to the fight between the two people. The spiritual energy in Jing's eyes gradually flowed into the staff, including the spiritual energy of the two monks who were fighting for it. Starting from the hands holding the staff, their spiritual energy was sucked away completely, and even their bodies were shrinking little by little.
Zhou Yun looked at the two monks in shock, his expression turning ugly.
"The realm breakthrough is different." Ye Su tilted her head to look at Zhou Yun, "Do you have any protective magic weapon on you? Something that your two senior brothers don't have."
All three of them are direct disciples of Wujian Sect, but Zhou Yun's identity is more special. She is the daughter of the Sect Master and has many protective magic weapons.
Zhou Yun hurriedly checked his protective magic weapon, and finally lowered his head to touch the silver cloud collar lock on his chest: "The Qing Mantra Ring Lock was given to me by the Five Elements Sect when I was born. My brothers don't have it."
"What is the Qingzhu Ring Lock?" Ye Su only knew about things related to refining equipment and had never heard of this.
"A spell." Zhou Yun explained, "A powerful person from the Five Elements Sect has cast a spell of clearing the mind inside the lock. Wearing it can break all the temptations of fog."
The higher the strength of a cultivator, the more difficult it is to have children. Therefore, when the leader of our sword sect had a daughter, it was a great joyous event. All the sects and schools sent generous gifts. The Qingzhu Ring was the most practical and convenient gift among them. Her father put it on her immediately and she has never taken it off since then.
Ye Su nodded and helped the fainted You Fushi to lean against the stone wall: "Please take care of them. I will go to the lotus platform."
"But..." Zhou Yun looked at the two monks who had become mummies on the lotus platform, "There's something wrong with that staff."
Ye Su looked down at the Earth Magic Lotus in her hand: "If we don't try, they will all die here."
"What?" Zhou Yun looked around and suddenly discovered that all the cultivators who had entered into a state of meditation and made a breakthrough were having their spiritual energy sucked away by the staff on the lotus platform. She looked anxiously at Xu Chengyu and Ma Congqiu, and her senior brothers and sisters were also hit.
Ye Su didn't know why the four-sided Ksitigarbha staff would absorb the spiritual power of the monks, but she didn't have the Mantra Ring, and the only thing she had more than others was the Earth Illusion Lotus.
Coupled with You Fushi's somewhat puzzling words, Ye Su was willing to give it a try.
Ye Su held the Earth Magic Lotus in her hand and walked towards the lotus platform step by step. The originally rich spiritual energy around her was all poured madly onto the four-sided Ksitigarbha staff on it, or it would be more appropriate to say that she took it back.
The four-sided Ksitigarbha staff is seven feet high, with three obsidian jade lotus pedestals on the top of the staff and small circles hanging from the four outer circles. It is used to suppress illusions and clear demons, and was owned by a disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect before the death of the god.
This is a sentence that Ye Su saw in a notebook on the fifth floor of Qianjimen's Collection Pavilion. To be more precise, it was a piece of paper sandwiched in the notebook, which was torn off by a senior and stuffed inside.
Ye Su stepped onto the lotus platform step by step, but did not touch the staff immediately. Instead, she turned around and looked down. She narrowed her eyes slightly: Formation
The entire secret realm is located on high ground, and the lotus platform is ten meters high, so it is easy to see most of the secret realm.
Ponds, lotus, stone steps…
Ye Su couldn't recognize it, but she could vaguely sense that there was a large-scale formation here. The fluctuations of spiritual energy connecting heaven and earth were very similar to the feeling of drawing talismans.
If Ye Su understood the formation, she would find that this formation was not transmitted to the four-sided Ksitigarbha staff on the lotus platform, but instead flowed towards the direction of the Earth Illusion Lotus they had discovered before.
She turned around and stared at the four-sided Ksitigarbha staff for a while, and finally her eyes fell on the "lotus table" where a complex pattern was engraved.
Ye Su squatted down and looked at the patterns for a long time. She heard Zhou Yun calling her anxiously from below. She stretched out her fingertips and used her spiritual power to draw a heavy line on the ground, destroying the pattern. Then she stood up and placed the Earth Illusion Lotus Bud in her hand onto the middle lotus platform.
The moment it was put on, in Jing's eyes, countless lotus leaves swayed in the wind, and the lotus flowers bloomed to the extreme, but withered and dried in an instant, as if sucked away by something, while the Earth Fantasy Lotus gradually swelled from a bud and transformed into two lotus buds.
It really looks good.
Ye Su thought, it's a pity that one of the junior brothers had fallen asleep and couldn't see.
"Stop!" Zhou Yun shouted from below.
The spiritual energy of those monks who are in the process of breaking through the realm will no longer be sucked away.
Ye Su watched the four-sided Ksitigarbha staff floating on the lotus pedestal slowly fall to the ground. A faint black light flashed across the three-layer lotus pedestal on the staff head. She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grasped it.
—Nothing happened.
Ye Su put the four-sided Ksitigarbha staff into his Qiankun bag without any hesitation, then stepped down from the lotus platform.
"They haven't woken up yet." Zhou Yun asked nervously, "Will something happen?"
"The spiritual energy is still there? Please swing your sword, Junior Sister Zhou." Ye Su pointed to the surrounding ponds and said, "Chop them open."
"How to chop it?" Zhou Yun asked.
"Just destroy one and cut off the spiritual energy inside." Ye Su said.
Zhou Yun nodded, glanced at his two brothers in the distance, drew his sword and jumped up, light and ethereal, but when he swung the sword down, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, carrying an overwhelming force.
In the eye of the scene, with the location where Zhou Yun landed as the point, a deep sword mark was cut in the pond.
The pond cracked, sewage and sludge flowed out, revealing the array stones inside, and the originally rich spiritual energy in Jing's eyes suddenly dissipated.
"There is indeed a formation in here!" Zhou Yun frowned, "I wonder whose secret realm this is. It is so vicious that it actually set up a formation to absorb the spiritual power of the cultivators."
As she spoke, she smashed the stones in the formation.
Ye Su did not pay any more attention to them, but instead focused his attention on Ming Liusha and the others who were in meditation.
Many cultivators who had pseudo-breakthroughs gradually came to their senses. Lu Jiu and Ma Congqiu were among them. The rest were probably about to have a real breakthrough.
"Big sister." Ming Liusha slowly opened his eyes, stood up with a pale face, and probed his soul palace, saying in a hoarse voice, "I'm in the middle stage of foundation building."
Losing spiritual power during a breakthrough is not a good thing for anyone. As expected, when Xiyu and Xia Er woke up after the breakthrough, they also felt uncomfortable. Xia Er couldn't even stand up and fell down directly.
The most serious case was Xu Chengyu, who had comprehended the sword intent and should have formed his Nascent Soul.
A faint blue light emerged from Xu Chengyu's body. He folded his hands in front of his abdomen, and his spiritual consciousness wandered, following the surroundings and moving further away. He saw the last step of forming a baby, but he didn't know what he had explored. The true form of the Nascent Soul was shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Big Brother!" Ma Congqiu acted decisively and pressed on his Tianzhu acupoint to seal his spiritual power.
Zhou Yun half-knelt on the ground and took out a medicinal pill from his Qiankun bag and fed it to Xu Chengyu: "How could this happen?"
There were obvious signs of the Nascent Soul's true form, so how could it fail to form an infant
"We should leave now." Ye Su pointed upwards and said to Ma Congqiu and Zhou Yun, "The secret realm here is about to collapse."
"Again?" Lu Jiu held the sword and shook her head in surprise. She had entered so many secret realms, but only the last time and this time were like this.
Normally secret realms would just open and close randomly, so how could they collapse
"It's probably because the treasure of the state of concentration was taken away." Ye Su said.
"The treasure of the state of concentration?" Lu Jiu was surprised. After she entered the state of concentration, she didn't know what happened afterwards. "Who took it?"
Ye Su said lightly: "I."
"Is that four-sided staff a treasure for settling into a state of concentration?" Lu Jiu asked curiously.
Ye Su helped You Fushi up: "It should be."
