After knowing the difficulties of the third level of the maze, Ye Tian and Li Taibai were completely relieved and filled with excitement. They knew that without the treasure-hunting rat Shi Fei, it would be absolutely impossible to find the correct route in a short time.
In short, the treasures of this ruins are destined to be theirs.
The two were very excited at the moment, and followed the treasure-hunting mouse and began to pass through the light gates one after another. Every time they passed through the light gate, nine light gates would appear. After three days and three nights, the two passed through tens of thousands of light gates.
"I wonder how long it will be?" Ye Tian frowned. There must be too many light doors in this level of the maze. Without the treasure-hunting rats, they would never be able to find the accurate route.
Li Taibai looked very happy. He smiled and said: "The more, the better. This will make it even more impossible for Shi Fei to find the accurate route. This guy probably won't be able to get out in a few years."
"It's hard to say, there are countless masters from Qinglong Academy, and their Holy Son is comparable to the Divine Son of our Zhenwu Academy. If he can't get out, their Holy Son will definitely be notified, and we have to hurry up." Ye Tian said solemnly.
When Li Taibai heard this, his face suddenly condensed, and he nodded: "You are right, their five great saints are more powerful than each other. It is said that even some Martial Lords can't do anything to them."
"Squeak!" The treasure hunter in front pointed at a light door and shouted.
Ye Tian and Li Taibai looked at each other, stepped in one after another, and suddenly a burst of blazing light swept over them. They were so frightened that they thought they had encountered some triggering formation, and they quickly put up their defenses, and the light was brilliant.
"Oh my god! Brother Ye, look!"
Li Taibai's exclamation came.
Ye Tian looked intently, and saw that the light just now was not the triggering formation, but a huge crystal statue, emitting a dazzling light that made it difficult to open one's eyes.
This is a mermaid statue. The lower body is carved from blue crystal, and the upper body is made from white crystal. A pair of beautiful eyes, like two bright starry skies, reflect countless stars, as if they were made entirely from nature.
Ye Tian was immediately shocked.
At this time, they were in a square. The mermaid statue in front of them was located in the center of the square. Behind the statue was a beautiful and spectacular blue crystal palace, emitting bursts of hazy blue light.
"Brother Ye, this is really the ruins of the mermaid clan. I guessed it right, I guessed it wrong, I guessed it wrong..." Li Taibai knelt down in tears with excitement.
"Brother Li, even if it is really the relic of the mermaid clan, you don't have to be so excited..." Ye Tian rolled his eyes and was speechless.
However, the next moment, Ye Tian's pupils shrank and he looked at Li Taibai in front of him in shock.
After a flash of light.
Li Taibai held the body of a beautiful woman in his hands, crying and laughing, looking very crazy.
What shocked Ye Tian was that this beauty's lower body did not have legs, but a fish tail. She was not a human, she was a real mermaid.
"Unexpectedly... there really is a mermaid..." Ye Tian was shocked speechless. He never thought that he would see a real mermaid one day.
This mermaid is very beautiful. Her hair is dark blue and her eyes are blue, but there are countless stars twinkling in her face. Looking at all the beauties Ye Tian knows, I am afraid that none of the beauties Ye Tian knows can compare to this girl.
It's a pity that the mermaid in front of me is just a cold corpse, and she has been dead for many years.
"Xiao Lan, have you seen it? I have fulfilled your wish for you and taken you home. Please open your eyes and take a look!" Li Taibai's eyes were red, and two drops of blood and tears flowed down his cheeks, bright and bright. Incomparable.
Ye Tian's heart was shocked. Li Taibai was so sad that he was about to become possessed.
"Brother Li! Brother Li! Wake up!" Ye Tian shouted.
However, Li Taibai didn't respond, he was still howling and crying, and traces of black evil energy began to emerge from the top of his head.
"Not good..." Ye Tian's expression changed. Without any time to think, he activated his Devouring Body and struck Li Taibai with a palm. The powerful Devouring Power suddenly exploded, absorbing all the demonic energy born in Li Taibai's body.
"Pfft!" Li Taibai spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turned pale, but his eyes became clear again. He looked at Ye Tian in shock: "Brother Ye, you..."
At this time, Ye Tian was entangled by countless black demonic energies, and a terrifying demonic power erupted from him, like an invincible demon god.
At the same time, a huge demonic figure appeared behind Ye Tian, looking exactly like him.
Li Taibai was shocked when he saw the eyes of the huge demonic figure. What kind of eyes were those? It was like a dark abyss swallowing everything, making his soul tremble.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a blazing golden light burst out from Ye Tian's body, dispelling the evil energy, and the huge demonic shadow collapsed, revealing Ye Tian's true face.
"call!"
Ye Tian breathed a long sigh of relief, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He had just helped Li Taibai regain his consciousness, and almost made him become possessed.
At this time, Li Taibai also understood the danger he had just been in. He said with gratitude on his face: "Thank you, Brother Ye, for saving your life."
Ye Tian waved his hand, pointed at the mermaid in his arms, and said with confusion on his face: "Brother Li, is this?"
Li Taibai was not possessed this time. He looked at the mermaid in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "This is my wife. As you can see, Brother Ye, she is a mermaid, and she is the last of the mermaid clan. clansman.”
Ye Tian listened quietly. This was a sad story. The protagonists of the story were Li Taibai and the last member of the mermaid clan.
In ancient times, the mermaid clan faced a crisis of extinction. Therefore, in order to preserve the last trace of their blood, they sealed the royal mermaid princess with the best talent and the purest blood in the clan and placed it in a secret place.
This hidden place is here.
Fifty years ago, this mermaid princess woke up. She left the Sea of Stars alone and wandered in the boundless sea. Miraculously, she came to the Sea of Three Swords and met Li Taibai.
The mermaid princess has a pure heart and is very innocent. Li Taibai was attracted to her at the first sight. The two of them played around in the Three Swords Sea, and their feelings grew unknowingly.
It's a pity that Li Taibai at that time did not have the strength he has now. Once, he and the Mermaid Princess Wu entered a ruins left by a martial saint. They thought they could make a fortune and improve their strength.
But no one thought that the Martial Saint did not die. He still had the power to seize Li Taibai. In order to protect Li Taibai, the Mermaid Princess summoned the ancestral spirit of the Queen of the Mermaid clan at the cost of her life, severely injuring the Martial Saint. .
"Could it be him!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian's heart moved. He thought of the Martial Saint named Sword Master who merged with the King.
The title of the Martial Saint was Sword Master, and he must have achieved extremely high achievements in the way of swordsmanship, so only swordsmanship geniuses were selected as candidates for the title.
Li Taibai was a genius in swordsmanship, so it was not surprising that he led the martial saint to seize his body. Unfortunately, he was severely injured by the mermaid princess and escaped.
Only later did he choose the king.
"The world is so unpredictable!" Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that there was such a mystery in it.
Li Taibai gently stroked the face of the beautiful woman in his arms, with tenderness on his face, and continued: "Before she died, she told me that she wanted to come back here to have a look, and asked me to bring her back, and told me about this place. The location. After asking for a long time, I found out from a tutor at Zhenwu Academy that this is the Sea of Stars.”
Ye Tian immediately understood. No wonder Li Taibai knew this place and knew a lot about the secrets of the mermaid clan.
"I think my sister-in-law not only wants to come back for a visit, she also wants you to get the treasures in this ruins and increase your strength." Ye Tian sighed.
Li Taibai said nothing. He was not an idiot and had long understood his wife's true wish.
His wife was worried about him even before she died.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Ye Tian patted Li Taibai on the shoulder and said.
Li Taibai nodded, put his wife back into the small world, and then walked side by side with Ye Tian towards the beautiful and spectacular Crystal Palace in front of him.
The palace seems to be transparent, but the inside cannot be seen from the outside, and even spiritual thoughts are isolated and cannot be visited.
However, the palace door was open, and Ye Tian and Li Taibai entered easily.
As soon as the two entered, they saw nine shining light doors at the top of the hall.
"Why is there a light gate here?" Ye Tian looked at Li Taibai with confusion.
"Brother Ye, I forgot to tell you that this is not an ordinary mermaid clan ruins, but the second ancestral land of the mermaid clan. Through one of these nine light gates, we have to pass through a six-layer maze to truly reach the mermaid clan. ancestral land." Li Taibai said.
"So our trip was in vain?" Ye Tian was speechless. The nine-layer maze could trap the Martial Saint. Even if he had a treasure-hunting mouse to guide him, he would probably die miserably if he entered.
"Haha, Xiaolan actually told me at the beginning that only the Martial Emperor realm can enter the first three floors of the maze, the Martial Master realm can only enter the middle three floors of the maze, and the Martial Saint realm can enter the last three floors of the maze. The treasures in this hall have been Let's make this trip worthwhile, why go in and take risks again?" Li Taibai said and walked to the side hall.
Ye Tian heard the words and followed him.
"boom!"
When the palace door opened, a burst of precious light swept over, followed by strong fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Ye Tian and Li Taibai were shocked on the spot.
What appeared before their eyes were ten sealed holy ginseng trees, emitting dazzling precious light, and three longevity trees, which were also sealed, but still could not block the peerless precious light.
These three immortal trees are all kings of trees!
In addition, there were three golden elixirs flying everywhere in the palace. When the door of the palace was opened, they swiped and tried to escape.
Li Taibai's sharp eyes recognized the identities of these three pills at a glance, and exclaimed: "Brother Ye, take action quickly, these are three Emperor's Pills, one of them can improve our cultivation by one level."
