A tearing force came, almost tearing their protective aura shield apart. The two of them tried their best to maintain their balance and block this force, but their bodies fell down uncontrollably like kites with broken strings.
The feeling of losing control lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Finally, with a bang, the sword aura of the Three Yang Real Fire Sword seemed to have smashed something, and the two of them fell down heavily.
The whining sound of the wind suddenly subsided. After a while, the two of them got used to it and crawled up in a daze.
"Are you okay?" Qin Xi asked.
Mo Tiange took a deep breath and shook her head. "I'm fine."
Her meridians and body were incomparable to ordinary cultivators. She just felt a little dizzy after losing control for so long. "How about you?"
Qin Xi shook his arm and withdrew the Three Yang Real Fire Sword. "I'm fine." He had also been tempered by the Vermilion Bird, so a small impact was nothing to him.
After making sure they were fine, the two of them looked around and found that the place they fell into was a pit surrounded by yellow stones. Not even a blade of grass grew there.
There was no gales and only a slight sound of the wind.
The two of them came out of the pit.
The place they were in seemed to be a canyon surrounded by yellow stones. There were no living creatures. The whining sound of the wind came from a distance, but they couldn't hear it clearly.
Above the canyon, the light was dim, and the breath was chaotic. There was only a very narrow crack.
Following the sound of the wind, the two of them found the center of the vortex.
At the entrance of the canyon, the gales gathered into a vortex. This vortex wasn't big, but it was very powerful. As soon as they approached, the spiritual aura fluctuations brought by the vortex cut their bodies like sharp blades.
Qin Xi frowned slightly. He shook his sleeves and a sword aura flew out, piercing the vortex.
The closer they got to the vortex, the harder it was to control the sword aura. As soon as it touched the center of the vortex, it suddenly lost control and was thrown out by the vortex. With a bang, it hit the yellow stones on the side and shattered them.
Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other and their expressions changed slightly.
This sword aura was separated from the Three Yang Real Fire Sword by Qin Xi. It contained the breath of the Vermilion Bird and was connected to his mind, but he lost control so easily.
No wonder they were easily sucked in. Even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't directly resist the power of this vortex.
"What should we do?" Mo Tiange asked after hesitating for a while.
Qin Xi looked around and said, "Let's walk around first and see what kind of place this is."
"En." Mo Tiange nodded. This was the only way.
The two of them walked along the canyon, all the way to the depths.
Although there were no spirit veins or strange creatures here, due to the existence of the vortex, they did not dare to casually use Dharma Spells. They only surrounded themselves with protective spiritual energy and slowly moved forward.
The path up the canyon was very complicated. The two of them walked for a long time before they realized that it was not a canyon, but a very deep cave. The cracks on the canyon had disappeared.
As they got further and further away from the vortex, the sound of the wind gradually faded away. The world around them was quiet except for the sound of their footsteps.
The surrounding stone walls gradually turned into a greenish-gray color.
After walking for another half a day, she still couldn't see the end of the road, and the scenery didn't change in the slightest. Mo Tiange was baffled. "What the hell is this place? Why does it seem like we're still in the same place?"
Qin Xi looked at the scenery around him and said, "This cave is indeed too long." As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and shot out a spiritual aura, preparing to carve a mark on the stone wall of the cave.
A red light flashed and touched the greenish-gray stone wall, but there was no sound as expected. There was only a slight "chi" sound. Soon after, the red light disappeared and there was nothing on the stone wall.
Qin Xi's expression changed greatly and he stood still.
Mo Tiange was also stunned. After a long time, she finally found her voice. "How could this be?"
After a while, Qin Xi finally regained his composure. He didn't answer. Instead, he took out the main body of the Three Yang Real Fire Sword and stabbed it at the stone wall.
The tip of the sword didn't encounter any obstruction and easily touched the stone wall, but it stopped at the bottom. The sword couldn't pierce the stone wall in the slightest, and the Vermilion Bird's flame on the sword also disappeared completely when it touched the stone wall.
This stone wall could even swallow the Vermilion Bird's flame!
The two of them glanced at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
For Nascent Soul cultivators like them, the most frightening thing wasn't a powerful opponent, but having a divine ability but being unable to use it.
Mo Tiange stretched out her hand and gathered a ball of golden lightning in her palm. She waved it lightly and threw it at the stone wall.
There was still a slight "chi" sound. The golden lightning touched the stone wall and disappeared without a trace.
The Vermilion Bird's flame and heavenly tribulation lightning — these two could be said to be the most powerful spells in the world, but they unexpectedly didn't have any effect on this ordinary stone wall!
"What the hell is this …" Qin Xi muttered to himself.
Although he wasn't very old, he had been traveling everywhere since he built his foundation, so his knowledge was very extensive. However, not only had he never seen this thing, but he had also never heard of it.
Mo Tiange's expression was solemn. She made a hand seal and cast a series of spells.
Saber light, sword shadow, dancing leaves and flying flowers, rain and sorrow, Vermilion Bird burning the sky, earth sinking quicksand … She cast high-level spells of the five elements, as well as other spells of wind, thunder, and ice. All the spells disappeared without a trace when they touched the stone wall.
Mo Tiange stopped and stared blankly at the stone wall without saying anything.
She had the Spiritual Roots of the Origin, so she could use spells of the five elements, including other spells. However, no matter which element she used, they couldn't cause any damage to the stone wall and were all absorbed.
What happened in front of her reminded her of the three-headed ape that appeared in the Carefree Valley in the Clouds.
None of the spells or weapons could harm the three-headed ape. However, that was different from the situation in front of them. The three-headed ape was alive, but the stone wall in front of them was a dead object!
After thinking for a while, Mo Tiange opened the spiritual beast pouch and released Feifei.
"What's wrong?
I'm sleeping! "Feifei rolled out of the spiritual beast pouch, looking somewhat dissatisfied.
Mo Tiange ignored its tone. She pointed at the stone wall and asked, "Feifei, under what circumstances can spells of the five elements and other spells be absorbed?"
"Huh?" Feifei stretched out its paw and touched its head.
She continued to ask, "Do you remember the giant ape in the Carefree Valley?
Its cultivation level obviously wasn't high, but it wasn't afraid of our attacks at all.
Why is that? "
Feifei blinked its eyes and said, "Are you talking about that giant ape called Stone?
It grew up in that kind of strange place, and its cultivation method is very unique. It was exposed to spiritual aura, devil aura, dead aura, and filthy aura since it was a child and combined them into one, so it produced this kind of effect.
If you want to ask why, I can't tell you. There are many strange things in this world. "
"What about this?"
Mo Tiange pointed at it. "Spells that hit these stones had no effect at all. They seemed to be completely absorbed, and even sharp weapons couldn't pierce them."
"Absorbed?" Feifei's tone became serious.
It turned to look at the stone wall, reached out its hand, touched it, and cast a simple spell. In the end, it squatted and didn't move, seeming to be thinking.
"What do you think?" Mo Tiange urged.
After a while, Feifei said, "If this was a living thing, I really wouldn't be able to answer. I can only say that the world is full of strange things. However, this is a dead thing, so I have an idea."
"Quickly say it!"
She urged it anxiously. Feifei cast a sidelong glance at her and rolled its eyes. It then stretched out its paw and took out a teacup out of nowhere. "Look at this cup. If you hit the side of the cup, it would be smashed by you, right?"
Mo Tiange nodded.
Feifei turned its palm. "But what if you hit it from the mouth of the cup?"
"…"
Qin Xi frowned and said, "You're saying … this is a container?"
Feifei nodded with satisfaction. "Yes.
Since this thing can absorb spells of the five elements, it means it can store the power of the five elements. The only difference is that when you put things into the cup, you have to put them from the mouth of the cup, but this thing can be put in from anywhere. "
Upon hearing this, an idea emerged in Mo Tiange's mind. "If this stone is refined into a magic weapon …"
"It should be the best defensive method!" Feifei said indifferently. "But the problem is, how can you refine it into a magic weapon?
Which kind of fire can refine it? "
Mo Tiange was stunned but soon said, "Since it can store the power of the five elements, there must be a limit, right?
As long as it's full and can't absorb anymore, can't we refine it? "
"You're right, but you just said this thing can't even be pierced by sharp weapons, so how can we take it away?"
This was indeed a big problem. Mo Tiange hesitated and looked at Qin Xi.
Qin Xi thought for a long time then shook his head. "I also don't know."
"Hehe!" Upon seeing their expressions, Feifei smiled slyly. "I have a way."
Mo Tiange glared at it. "If you have a way, why don't you say it quickly?" Whose spiritual beast is this? It's so unconscious!
Feifei continued to smile slyly and scratched the ground with its paw. "What's in it for me to tell you?"
"…" After staring at it for a while, Mo Tiange said, "Just say it. What do you want?" This guy must've thought of a condition.
Feifei immediately jumped up. "I want Blood-eating Vines! A lot of Blood-eating Vines!"
Blood-eating Vines were spiritual creatures they obtained in the Sea of Returning Ruins. This kind of spiritual creature fed on demonic beast flesh and was also a great tonic for demonic beasts.
At that time, they chopped a lot of them and later divided them among the four spiritual beasts. Xiaofan advanced, and the other three spiritual beasts' cultivation levels also soared and were about to advance.
Upon hearing this request, Mo Tiange breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not a big deal. If I don't give it to you, do you think I'll eat it myself?
Tell me quickly, and I'll give you as many as you want! "
"Remember what you said!"
Feifei emphasized and then said, "You can use Spirit Tempering Water. Spirit Tempering Water can wash away all the impurities in the world. If you remove the impurities, the stone will disappear."
Mo Tiange was stunned and suddenly understood.
Why didn't she think of this?
The most difficult part of tool-refining was to separate the impurities from the materials, and the impurities were often mixed with the materials. If the impurities were removed, the materials would generally become small pieces.
"Okay, let's try first. If we succeed, I'll give you a pile of Blood-eating Vines." As she spoke, she opened the spiritual beast bag and picked up Feifei.
Feifei twisted and turned while shouting, "I want it now …"
Mo Tiange tied the spiritual beast bag and its voice disappeared.
