Looking at this scene, Chen Yun frowned slightly, and subconsciously he had already intentionally kept a certain distance from the black-faced practitioner in front of him, so that he could respond in time in any emergency.
In fact, it was not just Chen Yun. All the other cultivators except Nanlong Hou and the old man in white shirt also took the same action, causing the originally close-knit team to instantly disperse more than ten feet away.
Although Nanlong Hou and the old man surnamed Yun were aware that their companions were wary of them, they pretended to be unaware and continued walking forward without showing any dissatisfaction or uneasiness.
After a long meal, Chen Yun and others finally stepped into a mysterious hall one by one.
The main reason why it is called mysterious is that the walls surrounding this hall are glowing blue. The entire hall is crystal clear, as if it was carved from a huge piece of jade, and it looks particularly gorgeous and dazzling.
When everyone stood in this spacious hall of dozens of meters, they all showed surprise on their faces.
These items are naturally not real jade!
The moment Chen Yun entered the hall, he immediately used his spiritual sense to scan one of the walls.
However, when the spiritual consciousness touched the wall, it was bounced back and could not penetrate at all.
Chen Yun was not shocked by this, but continued to use his spiritual sense to conduct a comprehensive search of every corner of the hall, but the outcome was surprisingly similar.
Chen Yun speculated secretly in his mind and turned to others for answers.
Wang Tiangu, Monk You and other colleagues could not hide their confusion, and it was obvious that they had encountered similar difficulties.
"Could this be the place where the 'Great Divine Prohibition' is set up? It seems that what Nanlong Hou said is true."
Chen Yun was thinking silently in his mind when suddenly the whole hall began to shake violently, followed by a continuous roar from the back.
The old ladies and others were startled and looked back hurriedly, only to find that the original entrance had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a wall that was also glowing blue.
The entire hall fell into deathly silence in an instant.
"Fellow Daoist Nanlong, what on earth is going on?"
When the black-faced man saw the scene, his face suddenly turned gloomy and he questioned Nanlong Hou seriously.
Wang Tiangu and others also showed vigilance, staring at Nanlong Hou and the old man in white, their eyes full of confusion and suspicion.
Nan Longhou explained expressionlessly: "Everyone, don't panic. This is the self-activation of the external restriction, which has re-sealed the stone mountain. In the past, when we faced this situation, we had to wait for three days until the power of the restriction weakened before we could break it out again. There is absolutely no risk of being trapped. At the same time, because the outer restriction is closed, the magicians cannot detect that we are here."
After hearing this, the cultivators gradually calmed down. As long as Nanlong Hou and Fellow Daoist Yun were still in the hall, they didn't need to worry about the other party's conspiracy.
The dark-faced man bowed to Nanlong Hou and apologized: "I was reckless just now."
"No problem! The most urgent task now is to break the ban. This is where we failed last time. The 'Taimiao Divine Ban' is not easy to break." Nanlong Hou answered lightly.
The old woman showed a rare smile and said confidently: "Is this restriction really indestructible? I have obtained a magical weapon that can cure all kinds of restrictions and protections. Maybe we don't have to go through so much trouble. We can just use it to break this restriction?"
The old man in white shirt had an excited look in his eyes and answered affirmatively: "Indeed, if Madam Tai had this magical weapon, she could naturally try to break the restriction. But when we use our spiritual sense to remove the restriction, the success rate cannot be guaranteed to be 100%."
"That's right, Brother Yun, please use your magical powers immediately. We will never stop you."
Nanlong Hou also said with joy.
"Since both of you have agreed, I will not refuse. However, if I am lucky enough to break the restriction with the help of this treasure, can I choose the treasure with you two?"
The old woman smiled slightly, and a shrewd light flashed in her originally turbid eyes, and she frankly stated her true intentions.
Hearing this, the cold-faced monk, Wang Tiangu and others' expressions changed slightly, but then they waited for Nanlonghou and the other man to respond.
Nan Longhou showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he quickly glanced at the old man, then suddenly turned to the people in the hall and announced loudly:
"Whether it's Madam Tai or any fellow Taoist present, as long as they have the ability to break the restrictions here, they can choose an item first after the two of us have chosen the treasures. What do you think of this arrangement?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nanlong Hou specifically observed the reactions of Chen Yun and others.
As expected, Chen Yun and Wang Tiangu both behaved quite calmly. Although the black-faced burly man and the cultivator surnamed You looked unhappy, they did not directly oppose the matter, but acquiesced to the decision.
Then Nanlong Hou smiled and said to the old woman:
"Since all of you fellow Taoists have no objection, Madam Tai, you may begin your action."
"In that case, I will dare to give it a try." The old woman was secretly happy and full of confidence in the treasure she held.
As long as it wasn't an invisible restriction like the illusion array, she believed she had a good grasp of it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked making this suggestion, so as not to offend her fellow travelers.
The woman surnamed Tai reached into her wide sleeves and took out an object that was only a few inches long.
This object has a sharp front end and a wide back, and the entire thing is fiery red, like a sharp cone.
The woman completely ignored the gazes of others, opened her mouth and spit out a ball of dazzling light, which landed accurately on the sharp cone.
In an instant, the object glowed brightly red, and a breath of blazing flames quickly spread throughout the hall.
Nanlong Hou, the old man in white and others were well-informed. When they saw this scene, they immediately realized that this treasure was extraordinary. They stepped back a few steps and carefully looked at the sharp spike in the old woman's hand.
A flash of white light appeared, followed by an inaudible "crackling" sound coming from the sharp cone.
Chen Yun and others were stunned for a moment, trying their best to concentrate and watch.
They finally discovered that in the hot flames of the pointed cone, there were actually a few arcs of white lightning hidden, jumping continuously.
It turns out that this treasure is actually an ancient artifact with the dual attributes of thunder and fire.
In an instant, eyes of various expressions were focused on the old woman.
However, the woman didn't care about it at all. She took a deep breath, silently looked at the blue wall in front of her, and with a slight wave of her hand, she threw the thunder and fire cone in her hand over.
Red light splashed everywhere, and a low roar sounded.
The pointed cone was seen spinning rapidly above the woman's head, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a tiny red and white light, speeding through the hall at a speed so fast that it was almost unnoticeable, shocking everyone present.
Chen Yun was even more astonished. He had never seen such a fast ancient treasure. If this technique was used to the fullest extent when fighting against the enemy, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to avoid its powerful power.
"go"
The elderly and noble woman pointed slightly towards the empty and faint light and shadow, and solemnly chanted a spell.
In an instant, red and white light flashed continuously, and the lightning and fire cone arrived in front of the blue crystal wall in front of the old woman at an incredibly fast speed, and attacked it fiercely without hesitation.
A dull loud "bang" sound was heard by everyone, and electric arcs and flames erupted instantly, completely covering the surface of the entire crystal wall, making it impossible for the people present to see the specific situation inside for a while.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Yun's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Although he had not personally felt the tremendous power contained in the Thunder and Fire Cone, just from the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from it at this moment, the power released by this magic weapon was undoubtedly extraordinary.
It is no wonder that the lady named Tai was so confident when she issued the challenge.
"However, facing the Great Divine Prohibition, relying solely on this kind of magical power may still be insufficient..."
Before Chen Yun could finish his deep thinking, the power of thunder and fire on the crystal wall had gradually subsided.
The lightning and fire cone was quietly suspended a few inches in front of the crystal wall, but the surface of the crystal wall was intact, without even a tiny crack.
Nan Longhou, who was standing aside, showed a trace of disappointment on his face, but still kept smiling and said slowly:
"The power of this treasure cannot be ignored, but if you want to break the Taimiao Divine Prohibition, I'm afraid more efforts are needed. Thank you for your efforts, Taoist friend Tai! I wonder if you Taoist friends have other magical powers that can try to break this restriction?"
"Humph! When did I ever say that this is the true power of the magic weapon in my hand? I just carried out a preliminary test attack. It seems that if I don't do my best to promote the energy output of this treasure, I am afraid that I will not succeed in the end."
The old woman seemed quite embarrassed by this, and snorted coldly and said unhappily.
"I see! If you have any other tricks, please feel free to use them!"
Nanlong Hou's eyes sparkled and he spoke expectantly.
Hearing this, the old woman said no more and immediately formed seals with her hands. The originally motionless lightning and fire cone suddenly turned into a dazzling light and quickly returned to above the old woman's head.
Then, driven by the woman's spell, the lightning and fire cone began to rotate at high speed in mid-air, and the rotation speed became faster and faster. The lightning and flames gradually merged into one, and emitted bursts of creepy and strange humming sounds.
When everyone witnessed this scene, they were all excited and watched the changes in the field with full concentration.
After a short wait, the electric arcs and flames emitted by the Thunder and Fire Cone itself finally merged into one, forming a strange electric arc like a red ferocious beast, jumping and dancing wildly on the surface of the Thunder and Fire Cone, which had become a blurred shadow, presenting an extremely terrifying visual effect.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yun couldn't help but have a strong premonition in his heart, as if he realized a certain possibility, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
The other people around also showed astonishment on their faces, and their guesses and estimates of the actual power of the Thunder Fire Cone also increased significantly.
At this moment, the word "broken" came out of the mouth of the woman surnamed Tai.
The sound of "Zila" resounded through the sky, tearing out in a heart-shaking manner.
I saw a lightning and fire cone spinning rapidly like a ghost, with an extremely dazzling red arc. It disappeared without a trace once it moved, and hit the original crystal wall violently again.
However, this time, there was no spectacular sight of thunder and fire explosion, but instead a light "puff" sound was heard.
With the help of high-speed rotation and red electric arcs, the lightning and fire cone was only slightly blocked by the surface of the crystal wall, and then pierced deeply into the crystal wall like a sharp arrow.
Moreover, once this treasure entered the crystal wall, although its speed was greatly reduced, it was still controlled by the old woman's magic formula, rotating at full speed and slowly moving forward.
This scene made the old man in white and Marquis Nanlong both look ecstatic.
Wang Tiangu, the monk surnamed You and others had flickering lights in their eyes, revealing their extreme nervousness.
Did they expect the old woman to successfully break the ban, or did they expect her to fail in the end?
Seeing this, Chen Yun sneered in his heart, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
Chen Yun's expression did not attract the attention of others, but was caught by Yan Ruyan inadvertently at a glance.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and a look of confusion flashed in her bright eyes.
As a result, the thunder and fire cone, which had penetrated several inches into the crystal wall, finally suffered a devastating blow.
The crystal wall, which had been unchanged and seemingly peaceful, suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light, and then in the shocked eyes of everyone.
Countless thin, bright white rays of light emerged from the wall, instantly wrapping around the advancing lightning and fire cone. Then, the rays of light flashed rapidly and were pulled tight.
The loud "boom" was deafening, and the thunder and fire cone turned into pieces in an instant. Then the light flashed and disappeared without a trace, and the crystal wall returned to silence.
The old woman's face instantly turned as pale as paper, followed by a look of extreme anger.
This Thunder and Fire Cone was an ancient treasure that she had carefully planned and had gone through untold hardships to obtain. How could it be destroyed so easily? How could she not feel extremely heartbroken and regretful?
In an instant, the old woman felt a burning sensation in her chest, as if a stream of blood was about to gush out.
Everyone present was stunned and terrified.
Especially Yan Ruyan, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She turned to look at Chen Yun again, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Fortunately, the old woman was not an ordinary person. After her wrinkled face went through several alternations of red and white, she actually took a deep breath and calmed the surging blood in her heart.
"I am really sorry to have embarrassed you all this time. This Taimiao Divine Prohibition is indeed worthy of its name, and is one of the ten ancient prohibitions. I am really powerless and cannot break this prohibition. I hope that other Taoists have great magical powers and may be able to find a way to break the prohibition!"
She turned around and said with a wry smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman took a few steps back to show that she had given up. (End of this chapter)
