As soon as Jiang Yuebai rushed into the inner hall, he saw Lu Nanzhi standing on the edge of the altar in the center of the inner hall, still wielding a sword.
It was she who had just swung the sword at the altar, which caused the loud noise.
The inner hall was not large, and its layout was similar to that of the hall outside, the only difference being that the yin and yang were reversed, with a white circular pattern appearing on the floor and a dark circular dome overhead.
On the surrounding transparent walls like colored glass, there is a picture carved with a group of monsters making a pilgrimage. Monsters of various races are bowing their heads towards Kunpeng, which is half hidden in the clouds.
This was the first time Jiang Yuebai saw the full appearance of Kunpeng. It looked like a whale, with wings. Its huge tail sank in the sea, and its wings spread out to fly towards the sky.
Jiang Yuebai took a quick look and then retracted her eyes. At this moment, there were only her and Lu Nanzhi in the inner hall, and no one else had come out.
The reason why Lu Nanzhi drew his sword was because there was an ancient stone platform in the middle of the white circle on the ground representing Taiyin Youying. Directly above the stone platform, a fist-sized round bead was suspended above it, with a blue background and white lines like the sky, and ripples appeared from time to time, like waves in the sea.
Kunpeng Eyes!
Jiang Yuebai opened her eyes wide in surprise, her heart beating inexplicably violently, the rhythm was exactly the same as the waves in Kunpeng's eyes. She felt that something in it was attracting her and making her heart beat fast.
This was the first time that Jiang Yuebai strongly felt a "push" from heaven and earth, asking her to get closer to the Kunpeng Eye.
But Jiang Yuebai forced himself to suppress this feeling and remained vigilant.
Lu Nanzhi swung his sword, but there was no damage to the stone platform and Kunpeng's eye. Instead, a horrible crack covered with frost appeared on the wall behind the stone platform.
The wall is made of water, and the cracks will heal themselves like water.
Jiang Yuebai walked quickly to Lu Nanzhi's side, "Why did you come out so soon? Didn't you get anything?"
Lu Nanzhi glanced around and whispered, "I couldn't obtain the demon race's Xuanwu inheritance, so I didn't waste time."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, she had guessed so.
"What happened to the altar?"
Just as Lu Nanzhi was about to speak, ripples suddenly appeared on the wall, and a cultivator from the Tianxing Sect who was in the late Nascent Soul stage walked out with a frown on his face, and it didn't look like he had gained much.
Soon after, other people also came out one after another, except Shen Mingjing.
Jiang Yuebai guessed that if Shen Mingjing was really a demon, and the Fire Qilin in the Tianqiang Realm was related to him, then he probably came here for the inheritance of the Qilin lineage.
Then he must have a way to obtain the things behind the Qilin Gate, which will naturally delay some time.
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi showed weakness to the enemy and took the initiative to retreat to the side, not competing with the four people from the Xiong family and the Tianxing Sect.
The two people from the Tianxing Sect were one in the late Nascent Soul stage and one in the middle Nascent Soul stage, while the Xiong Family had one in the middle stage and one in the early stage. In terms of strength, they were not as good as the two people from the Tianxing Sect, so they did not dare to act rashly and just observed from the side.
The two people from the Tianxing Sect looked at each other, then walked to the side of the altar and observed carefully.
Even Jiang Yuebai couldn't see anything unusual just by scanning with his spiritual sense. He felt that there was nothing around the altar. The Kunpeng Eye was just there, shining brightly, waiting for someone to take it.
but…
The two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tianxing Sect took out a magic weapon in turn, activated it, and shot it towards the Eye of Kunpeng on the altar.
The rainbow light shot out, and when it approached the altar, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two looked at each other in surprise, and neither of them could see clearly what was going on. The same was true for the two Xiong men standing nearby, as they did not see how the two magical weapons disappeared.
Jiang Yuebai on the side narrowed his eyes and did not detect any fluctuations in space, so the disappearance of things was not the transfer of spatial force.
Lu Nanzhi transmitted his voice to Jiang Yuebai, "It was the same when I drew my sword just now. All the sword beams that were facing the altar disappeared, and only the sword beams that were beyond the range of the altar slashed into the wall behind."
The two people from the Tianxing Sect tried various methods, but the result was the same: anything that approached the altar would disappear immediately, which was very strange.
Seeing this situation, the two men looked at the two men from the Xiong family. Among them, Xiong Tianlai, who was young and in the early Nascent Soul stage, thought for a moment, then released a golden-eyed eagle from the spirit beast bag at his waist and ordered it to fly towards the altar.
An eagle's cry resounded throughout the inner hall, and the golden-eyed eagle spread its wings and flew straight over. Just as it entered the altar, something strange happened.
The golden-eyed eagle's feathers fell off, its flesh rotted, and its bones weathered into ash at an extremely fast speed. The whole process took less than two breaths.
“This… this is…” The burly Xiong Wanjun, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul of the Xiong family, was shocked.
The ashes of the golden-eyed eagle fell on Kunpeng's eyes. Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up slightly, and he saw something on Kunpeng's eyes, like a small insect with wings.
"Don't bother. The altar is shrouded by the law of time. Anything or any living thing that comes close will be turned into ashes by the power of time."
Shen Mingjing stepped out of the wall with a smile on his face, looking very proud, obviously he had made some very good gains.
"The laws of the Great Dao can also be divided into the innate Great Dao and the acquired Great Dao. For example, among the five elements, the Dao of gold, wood, water, fire and earth is nothing but the acquired Great Dao. Only by combining the five elements and controlling chaos can one be promoted to the innate Great Dao."
"And the five supreme and most difficult to control in this world are reincarnation, merit, time, space and chaos."
"The time rules around the altar were left by the demon saint Mayfly who controlled the power of time in the ancient times. Unless someone has the same level of power, no one can get the Kunpeng Eye."
Shen Mingjing's words made everyone feel cold in their hearts. They couldn't get the Kunpeng Eye, and there was also Wen Su Zhenzun outside who was eyeing them covetously. There was obviously no other way out. Are they really going to die here
"Then how did Immortal Lord Chongming get the Eye of Kunpeng in the first place?" Jiang Yuebai asked curiously.
Shen Mingjing walked to the outside of the altar, bent down to take a closer look, and said casually, "I am not a know-it-all. Immortal Chongming would never leak such a secret. Otherwise, this Kunpeng Eye would have fallen into Wen Su's hands long ago."
"If you get Kunpeng's Eye, a weaker one like Chongming Immortal Lord can comprehend the Water Dao Fruit. If you are stronger, you can master the power of the moon and the sun in the world like Kunpeng and synthesize the Chaos Dao Fruit, which is one of the five innate Dao Fruits."
After saying that, Shen Mingjing straightened up and stared at Jiang Yuebai with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Wangshu, aren't you tempted? You are the one with the best chance of getting Kunpeng's Eye."
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the inner hall looked at Jiang Yuebai.
Shen Mingjing had seen Jiang Yuebai use the Mi Chen Seal, so he must know that she could use the power of space.
Jiang Yuebai looked normal, but Lu Nanzhi's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he tightly grasped the Bingpo Sword.
When Shen Mingjing mentioned the innate Tao fruit just now, Jiang Yuebai guessed that perhaps the power of space was the only way to deal with the power of time, and she also possessed the aura of chaos, so there was indeed a glimmer of hope.
But here, she couldn't concentrate on getting Kunpeng's eye.
Jiang Yuebai held the Mi Chen Seal tightly, leaned against the wall, and secretly tried to break the wall with the power of space, but the wall of the inner hall was very strange and could block all forces, including the power of space.
Shen Mingjing narrowed his eyes and continued, "Wen Su is definitely not an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator. The flower basket on her body is an acquired spiritual treasure that Immortal Lord Chongming personally refined for her. Once the domain is opened, the heaven and earth will be destroyed, and no one will be able to escape."
"Moreover, even the divine consciousness of Immortal Monarch Chongming cannot penetrate into the Kunxu Divine Palace. At this moment, the Immortal Monarch is discussing the Dao with many Divine Transformation cultivators in a fantasy world. Wen Su dared to come here because the discussion must have entered a critical moment and he knew that the Immortal Monarch would not be distracted."
"In this case, our only chance of escape is to take the Kunpeng Eye. The two Kunpeng Eyes are the foundation that supports the entire Kunxu Secret Realm. When the Immortal King took one away, the space of the secret realm became unstable. As long as this Kunpeng Eye is taken away, I have a way to make the secret realm collapse immediately."
"By then, if you have Po Yun Chong, you can escape from the secret realm directly without fearing Wen Su. Daoist Wangshu is famous for his chivalrous and righteous character. Can you help us escape to heaven? Master Wangshu, rest assured, I will never take this Kunpeng Eye by force."
After thinking for a moment, the four people present nodded.
"Yes, we just want to leave. If you can take the Kunpeng Eye, feel free to do so."
"Don't worry, Daoist Wangshu. We, the Xiong clan, keep our word. If you can escape, we will definitely come to your house to express our gratitude."
Everyone looked at Jiang Yuebai, saying words of gratitude, but their eyes contained threats.
Lu Nanzhi also looked at Jiang Yuebai and said, "If you want to try, go ahead and try. I will do my best to protect you. If you don't want to, then I will fight with you."
Lu Nanzhi's words were like a reassurance. Jiang Yuebai weighed the pros and cons. The walls here blocked the power of space, and she had to go outside to tear open the space and escape from the secret realm.
It would be too dangerous to have a big battle here and then go out and face Wen Su.
Besides, she has a lot of "property" scattered around, which cannot be lost.
In addition, the strange attraction of Kunpeng Eye to her made her heart restless...
Jiang Yuebai secretly handed Lu Nanzhi a storage bag and took a step forward.
"Okay, let's try it, but I'm risking my own life to save yours, so shouldn't you show some appreciation to me first?"
Everyone:
Lu Nanzhi's hand holding the storage bag trembled, and then the corners of his mouth curled up. Well, this is still very naive!
