"Bang!"
A dull thud woke me up from my daze. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was still in the water. The strong current had pushed me into the rocks at the bottom of the lake, and my head was covered in algae and moss. Behind me, there were rays of blood-red light. The interface of my Dark Pupils showed that they were all minibosses. The God's Ruins really was a place that no one could get close to. Not every boss had an ancient divine skill, but there were so many of them. Especially after entering this underwater cave, I encountered all kinds of bosses. Any one of them was enough to make me suffer, and there were so many of them.
Luckily, the bosses didn't seem to notice me. Or maybe they didn't care to kill me. In their eyes, I was just a small shrimp swimming in the water...
This was good. At least I didn't have to die here. Many of the bosses in the God's Ruins had the ability to break through my Invincible Shield. Once I was caught, it would be difficult to escape.
… …
I looked up and saw a ray of light above the bottom of the river. My breathing bar was less than 20%, so I slid my hands and used my Ghost Shadow War Boots to swim upstream.
"Pu …"
My head broke the surface of the water, and I immediately opened my mouth and sucked in air.
When I opened my eyes, the sunlight was so strong that it was hard to open them. I opened the map. This was obviously not the map of Jishui River, but a different world at the bottom of the lake. Yes, it could be called a cave. The river flowed through a giant whirlpool and reached this cave. The walls of the cave were covered with gold and green gems. Although I wasn't a miner, I could see that they were at least Rank 9 or 10 ores. There were even some that were above Rank 10. Unfortunately, I couldn't excavate them, or I would definitely make a fortune. The other readers looked at it normally.
My war boots dripped with water as I stepped onto the stone floor. I walked out of the river and shook my body. The water slid off my war armor and left a long trail of water on the ground.
As I walked on the stone steps, I slowly walked forward. At the center of the Heaven's Hollow, there was a tall stone statue. It was of a young girl wearing light muslin. Her eyes were like stars, and she had a graceful and charming appearance. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she held a long golden sword in her hand. She stood there, looking extremely lifelike, as though she was a real person.
I walked up and looked around. Below the girl's statue, there were two words carved on the stone base — Mysterious Lady.
"Oh, Mysterious Lady?"
I was bewildered, but I felt an irresistible affinity from the stone carving. Or, it could be said that it was a kind of domain power.
"Weng!"
A portion of the rock beneath my feet suddenly caved in, and a light blue magic light rose up, instantly forming a trigram formation that revolved around the surroundings. Blood-red threads entrenched themselves in the surroundings, tightly locking the young girl's stone carving. I instantly understood that there was a sealing formation here, sealing the stone carving.
Could it be that the girl was a real person?
I stepped into the formation with my right foot. Flames immediately burst out of the ground and engulfed me, causing me to lose 190k + HP. But I had over a million HP right now, so I could endure it. I gritted my teeth and continued to walk forward. At the same time, I drank a Saint Spirit Potion.
Finally, when I took seven steps and arrived in front of the young girl, I endured a great deal of pain. My spirit trembled, and I seemed to be able to sense the reaction of the stone carvings.
"Young man …"
A voice filled with sweetness and tiredness came to his ears. The other book friends looked at him as usual.
I raised my head in shock and looked at the girl's stone. "Is that you?
Are you talking to me? "
The stone trembled slowly as the voice continued, "It's me, it's me … I beg you, help me open the seal. I … I've been imprisoned for a hundred thousand years. Please open the seal for me …"
I shuddered. "How do I open the seal?"
"There are three profound stones beneath my feet. Shatter the profound stones and you will be able to remove the seal on my stone skin …"
… …
I looked down and saw that the three seven-colored stones were right in front of the girl's feet. Their toughness was 10k each. Hmm, destroying this shouldn't be a problem.
I swung the Purple Ying Sword at the rock and lost 97 points of toughness. My Purple Ying Sword had the Mountain Crush effect, but it only dealt so little damage to the rock? This is ridiculous! Just how high is this rock's Defense? I can't believe it! I can't believe that the rock's Defense is so high!
I continued to hack away at it, but I didn't use any skills for fear that I'd damage the girl's stone. A long time later, the three profound stones finally shattered one by one.
"Weng!"
Golden light lingered around the stone carving, and in the next moment, crackling sounds rang out. Cracks appeared on the stone carving, and the moans of a young girl could be heard. She had been sealed for far too long.
I stood there in shock. I extended my hand and put the Nine Heaven Li Fire Bracelet on my finger. I slowly touched the stone carving on the girl's body. The moment I touched it, the stone surface of the carving shattered and a white-clothed girl stood in front of me. She was clean and sweet, the kind that belonged to the heavens and earth. She was dressed in white, with white skin and exquisite facial features. Her watery eyes looked at me without any impurities. That was the most innocent gaze in the world.
"You … young man …" the girl said softly. "Your hand …"
I shuddered. Oh, my finger touched the stone to unseal her. Now, my finger was still pressed against her chest. That tall and proud chest gave me a supple and soft feeling.
I hurriedly retracted my hand and continued to look at her. The light of the formation was faintly discernible. Blood red chains wrapped around the young girl's body, preventing her from moving. It was obvious that simply breaking three profound stones wouldn't be enough to break the seal.
"Ah …"
She exclaimed and slowly knelt on the stone. A holy light shone around her body. She looked at me and said helplessly, "Can you … Can you help me?
Please … "
I was stunned for a few seconds.
After being stunned for a few seconds, I looked at the long sword in the young lady's hand. It was just too resplendent. However, the long sword slowly turned into rays of golden light that seeped into the young lady's body. It was as though the sword had melted into her body and completely fused with the young lady.
"That …"
I said softly, "This sword, is … Is it …"
The girl smiled, "Yes, it is the legendary- Xuanyuan Sword …"
"Xuanyuan Sword!"
I shuddered and nearly knelt down. I stared at the girl, "Why is Xuanyuan Sword in your hands? Isn't Xuanyuan Sword Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's weapon?"
The girl nodded and sadness appeared in her eyes, "Yes, this is Xuanyuan Sword, because I … Because I am Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's daughter …"
I understood right away, "Mysterious Maiden, you are Xuanyuan's daughter, but why is Xuanyuan's daughter imprisoned here? Who set up this formation?"
The girl said, "Chi You …"
"Chi You?!"
I was shocked, "Wasn't Chi You defeated by Yellow Emperor and Flame Emperor?
Why is he still imprisoning you here? "
Mysterious Maiden raised her head and looked at me. Her beautiful eyes were filled with grievance, "Although Chi You died, his soul didn't dissipate and became Chi You's spirit. After father ascended, Chi You's spirit did evil in the human world. He recruited the Jiu Li tribe and tried to topple the human world's order, even …"
"Even what?"
"Moreover, the evil spirit of Chiyou possessed the sacred beast Xuanyuan, turning it into a ferocious and violent beast. It killed countless descendants of Xuanyuan and imprisoned me here with the Nine-heavens Formation. Now, my power is fading away bit by bit, and I can no longer summon the Xuanyuan Sword …"
I gritted my teeth, "Chi You's spirit possessed the Holy Beast? What is the Holy Beast?
Mysterious Maiden, tell me, how can I save you and not let you suffer in this place for ten thousand years? "
Mysterious Maiden suddenly smiled, the corners of her mouth rising, "Young man?
You … you really want to save me?
Even … even if you know how difficult it will be, even if you have to pay with your life? "
I abruptly placed the Zi Ying Sword on the ground and knelt on one knee in front of her. I raised my head and said, "Chi You's spirit has harmed the human world, and everyone has the right to kill him. Moreover, he imprisoned you here, defenseless, and used his strength to bully the weak. This evil spirit deserves to be killed even more. Mysterious Maiden, you are Xuanyuan's daughter, and I am Xuanyuan's descendant after 7000 years.
I can save you without hesitation! "As I said that, I remembered that Mysterious Maiden wasn't a defenseless girl. She had the Xuanyuan Sword. If that was considered defenseless, then what did it mean to have a divine weapon …
Looking at my expression, the Mysterious Fairy couldn't help but smile. It was as though an iceberg had melted. She said softly, "Since that's the case, I'll thank you on behalf of the world. The Chi You evil spirit has possessed the Holy Beast's body and has already been severely injured by the Xuan Yuan Sword during the final battle with me. The Chi You evil spirit is rather weak. Perhaps you can really kill him, but the prerequisite is that you must be able to kill the Holy Beast that the Chi You evil spirit has possessed. The Holy Beast has experienced 100,000 years of life and has devoured the spiritual essence of the heavens and earth.
I nodded and said, "What I need to do is kill the Holy Beast?"
"Yes."
Mysterious Maiden nodded and continued to say, "After you kill the Holy Beast, give me the Holy Beast's inner dan, and I will be able to break this Nine Heavens Mysterious Formation. Thank you!"
"Where is the Holy Beast?"
"In the Holy Pond."
"Where is the Holy Pond?"
"Go straight east for a mile, and you'll probably see it. But you have to be careful, the sacred lake is guarded by two powerful Chiyou imperial guards. You have to kill these two Chiyou imperial guards first, only then can you approach the sacred lake and kill the holy beasts and Chiyou evil spirits."
"Yes, I understand … …"
… …
Standing up, I lowered my head to look at Mysterious Maiden and said, "Wait for me here."
She blinked her bright eyes and murmured, "Promise me that you will come back alive, okay?"
I smiled, "Yes, don't worry. I won't die!"
"Oh … …"
