"That's unbelievable!"
The golden barrier invaded Qin Shi's body and took root in his sea of knowledge. It floated in the air like the scorching sun in the afternoon, gently shining down on the earth.
The barrier was still covered in mysterious patterns. The symbols on the patterns were constantly rotating, and as they rotated, they gave off a golden light.
Every time the barrier rotated, his Sea of Consciousness would expand, increasing bit by bit.
Among the countless runes, there were four clear words.
Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation!
"Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation?
What kind of strange thing is this? "Qin Shi snorted as he looked at the four words on the golden barrier.
He could feel that his spiritual power was rapidly rising, and he had suddenly received a qualitative leap.
This leap was similar to the blood essence inheritance of the Qin family.
His sight, hearing, smell, touch, and five senses became especially clear in an instant. His control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also became smoother. "Hah, Xue Xin was right?
This barrier is really helpful to me? "
"But, why is that?"
Qin Shi didn't understand. A strange Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation of unknown use appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
He also didn't know whether this ancient formation was good or bad for him.
But at least for now, it seemed to be good, not bad.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he gave up and shook his head. "Who cares. Anyway, this formation doesn't seem to be bad for me."
"Qin Shi, how are you feeling?"
Qin Xue Xin asked worriedly.
Qin Shi quickly recovered from his shock and stopped thinking about the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation. In order not to worry Qin Xue Xin, he didn't mention the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation. He just changed the topic and said, "No, I was just thinking that you bullied me in the barrier. Now that I'm safe and sound, shouldn't I take revenge?"
"Don't be serious."
Qin Xue Xin rolled her eyes. She was relieved that Qin Shi was fine.
"Hehe, I like to flirt with you without being serious!"
Qin Shi laughed loudly and searched along the walls of the secret room. However, he did not find anything else. He said, "It looks like the Emotion Severing Soul Flower is not here. Let's go to the other two forks to take a look."
After that, Qin Shi held Qin Xue Xin's hand and turned to walk out of the crossroad.
Qin Xue Xin was stunned for a moment. She was used to Qin Shi's ruffian behavior, so she let Qin Shi pull her and obediently followed behind.
The two of them left the left fork and went deeper into the middle fork.
The fork in the middle was deeper than the one on the left. Cold wind constantly whistled from inside. The cracks on the cliff wall, which had been eroded by the wind for years, were like a spider web, continuously expanding. From afar, it looked more like a soaring dragon.
An hour later.
The two of them still had not reached the end. Their surroundings were so dark that they could not even see their own fingers.
At this time, a pungent fragrance came from afar. Qin Shi could not help but be intoxicated. He was surprised and thought, "What a strong fragrance … It seems like the Emotion Severing Soul Flower is here."
Qin Xue Xin was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
After recovering his wits, Qin Shi realized that it was because of the Ancient Profound Heaven Formation that he could smell the flower's fragrance. Scratching his head, he said, "It's nothing. I was just enjoying myself."
"Strange!"
Qin Xue Xin looked at Qin Shi strangely and continued to move forward.
Standing in the same spot, Qin Shi was suddenly stunned and fell into a long silence.
"Why didn't I tell her about the Emotion Severing Soul Flower?"
Looking at Qin Xue Xin's back, Qin Shi asked himself in his heart. His expression became gloomy. "Don't I want her to recover?
Perhaps, but what will she become if she recovers her cultivation? "
"Will she still be like this after recovering to the Cryptic Spirit realm?"
A dejected thought exploded in Qin Shi's heart, like an unstoppable river, "If I could stay like this with her at the bottom of the Passionless Cliff, it would be a kind of happiness."
Perhaps this was a selfish thought, but it was a genuine one.
A sense of loss welled up in his heart, but there was no turning back now. He could only silently follow behind Qin Xue Xin and enter the fork.
Finally, when they reached the end of the fork, a strong fragrance of flowers filled the air, like a clear tropical rainforest, accompanied by a slightly cold breeze.
At the end of the fork, there was a slightly elevated boulder, and in the cracks on the boulder, there was a stalk of green spirit flowers.
The flowers had five leaves, and they were very beautiful.
"Emotion Severing Soul Flower?
That's great! "Qin Xue Xin was ecstatic.
Behind her, Qin Shi was a little disappointed. He lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.
After obtaining the Emotion Severing Soul Grass, Qin Xue Xin would recover her cultivation. But once she recovered her cultivation, it meant that she would have to leave the Passionless Valley and return to the distant Blue Snow Sect.
"I hope that she doesn't return to her original ice-cold self because of her recovery …" Qin Shi could only silently pray in his heart, praying that the two of them wouldn't miss the opportunity because of these Emotion Severing Soul Flowers. "Heart Penetrating Snow, a clear pool of water can penetrate poetry. Let me protect your fragility!"
Weng weng weng!
At this time, just as the two of them were thinking about their own matters with different states of mind, waves of wild tremors came from the surrounding cliffs.
"What's going on?"
The sudden tremor shocked the two of them.
Bam!
After a strong tremor, countless terrifying ravines appeared on the cliff, and the ravines were filled with wild spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy gushed out, and what followed was an endless stream of blood?
The blood water was like a ferocious demon, wildly invading the fork along the gully. It was like a stormy wave slamming against the corroded cliff walls around it. Bit by bit, it spread up the boulders. In the blink of an eye, half of the stilts at the end of the fork were submerged. It was like an isolated island in the middle of a vast ocean.
Climbing up the huge rock, Qin Shi was stunned. "Could it be that the blood river collapsed?"
However, he didn't have time to think about it. Dozens of vortexes appeared in the blood water, and after a vast amount of spiritual energy surged out of the vortexes, the blood water was completely drained. Crimson figures floated to the surface of the blood water and stared at the two of them ferociously.
"Blood puppets?"
Qin Shi was shocked. Weren't these bloody figures blood puppets?
Most importantly, the abilities of this group of blood puppets were all above the Spirit Breaking Tier?
There were more than thirty of them, which was almost the same as the Blood Puppet King from before.
Qin Shi absolutely believed that this kind of lineup could slaughter the entire ancient city.
"It looks like we've triggered the mechanism here!" Qin Xue Xin exclaimed.
Qin Shi nodded, and suddenly stood in front of Qin Xue Xin, a strong desire to protect her rising. "Xue Xin, quickly go and cure the poison. Leave these little things to me. I can even defeat their big brother, so why would I be afraid of these little things??
Jun
"No, you've only entered the Spirit Breaking Realm. It's impossible for you to deal with so many blood puppets!" Qin Xue Xin shouted, shaking her head.
Qin Shi didn't give her a chance to finish speaking. He pulled out the Netherworld Sword and smacked his lips. "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry and cure the poison?
I'll buy you some time. Do you want us to die here and become a pair of bitter lovebirds envied by immortals? "
Interrupted, Qin Xue Xin fell silent.
She understood Qin Shi's words. Only by curing the poison of the Unfeeling Yin Yang Talisman could the two of them have hope and possibility of survival.
Thinking of this, she didn't try to be brave. Instead, her expression revealed a hint of determination. "Promise me, you can't die!"
Stunned, facing Qin Xue Xin's beautiful face, Qin Shi couldn't bring himself to joke. "I promise you!"
"If you die, I won't let you be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs," she suddenly said, her gaze fixed on Qin Shi, as if waiting for an answer.
Frozen on the spot, Qin Xue Xin's words echoed in his mind. Qin Shi was momentarily speechless. Finally, he laughed bitterly. "The road to the Yellow Springs?
I don't want us to be inseparable lovers in this world after you wake up, and make others envious of us! "
"Wait for me!"
Qin Xue Xin didn't nod or shake her head. She just turned around and sat down in the corner where the boulder and the cliff met. She crushed the stamen of a Soul Severing Flower, swallowed it, and began to circulate her spiritual power to detoxify the poison. She snorted. "Give me five minutes!"
"Half a cup of tea's time?"
Looking at Qin Xue Xin, Qin Shi was a bit conflicted. He thought to himself, "When you wake up, what will everything be like?
At that time, will you still remember our promise?
Will you still be the Qin Xue Xin I know?
Perhaps you will be the Qin Xue Xin who no longer needs my protection … Perhaps you will become the Spiritual Lady that only I can look up to? "
Everything was a bit heavy.
"Everything, everything, is waiting for you to wake up!"
Qin Shi wasn't a conflicted person. He glanced at the puppets in the pool of blood and waved the Netherworld Sword in his hand. He revealed a nervous and serious expression. "More than thirty Spirit Breaking Realm cultivators … There is indeed quite a bit of pressure …"
"But I said that no one can hurt this girl. I, Qin Shi, am a man of my words. Even if she will become the high and mighty Spiritual Lady, I will still protect her!" With a firm belief in his heart, Qin Shi suddenly bent his waist and shot out like an arrow leaving the sky.
Bang!
In the front, Qin Shi and two blood puppets exchanged blows.
A collision created a vast ripple in the pool of blood. Blood splattered everywhere in the cave like a downpour.
Blood rained down.
A Netherworld Sword cut through all illusions in the world. A Bloodthirsty Sword revealed the blood of the universe.
"Double-edged, Yellow Springs Nine Swords!"
Facing dozens of blood puppets, Qin Shi didn't use the Burning Mist Curse. The main reason was that the Burning Mist Curse consumed too much spiritual power. This kind of tug-of-war could easily put him in a difficult position.
Bang!
Eighteen rays of sword light filled the sky.
The sky shook, and the mountain swayed. Three or four blood puppets were sent flying.
However, these blood puppets didn't know fear. No matter how severe their injuries were, they could immediately stand up and attack again.
At this moment, a blood puppet crawled out of the pool of blood and approached Qin Xue Xin, who was in the middle of detoxifying the poison.
"Xue Xin?"
When Qin Shi turned around, he was shocked. However, the moment he turned around, two blood puppets viciously cut open a wound on his back. It was so deep that his bones could be seen.
"Ha!"
Intense pain surged through his body, but Qin Shi didn't have time to care. He forced the blood puppet in front of him to retreat and leaped in front of Qin Xue Xin. In a panic, he formed a hand seal. "Burning Mist Curse!"
Bang!
The Burning Mist Curse struck the blood puppet and sent it flying.
However, more and more blood puppets climbed onto the boulder and crazily tried to grab at Qin Shi and Qin Xue Xin.
Being surrounded by the blood puppets, the area became smaller and smaller. Qin Shi stood in front of Qin Xue Xin. His body was covered in wounds and he snorted, "Humph!
I've underestimated these blood puppets! "
Seeing the sky filled with attacks, Qin Shi's heart was filled with anxiety.
"Ah!
As long as I don't die, no one can hurt her! "Suddenly, Qin Shi angrily roared and made a bold move.
