Eternal Tranquility

Flesh and blood were flying, flames were dancing wildly, and Xuezu Beast's huge core seemed to be about to explode at this moment, expanding and contracting rapidly, and the beating sound was like a heavy drum being beaten.

This sound became louder after getting into the core of the heart, coming from the depths of darkness one by one.

Liu Qinghuan raised her hand to touch the flesh wall, but she touched a hand of powder. With a slight twist, the powder spread out between her fingers. There was no trace of blood or any vitality.

There was a thud behind him, and Jin Jin also came in, but he accidentally hit the flesh wall and almost lost a mouthful of powder.

"Bah, bah, bah! It's obvious at first glance that he's a bastard, but that guy saw an opportunity and even thought of hiding in the core!"

Jin Jin peered in and saw no trace of the Zhigu. There was only a hole so deep that it seemed unexplorable, and he didn't know where it led.

His eyes flickered and he said, "Fellow Taoist Qinglin, do you feel..."

"Um?"

"I felt like there was something inside, but it was vague."

Jin Jin showed a puzzled look, and quickly said excitedly: "There must be something good inside, and Zong Gu must have found it before he got in! We have to hurry up, or he will beat us to it!"

Compared to Jin Jin, Liu Qinghuan's spiritual sense was stronger, but he also only had a vague feeling, and his sense of consciousness seemed to be blocked by something.

Seeing Jin Jin's excited look, he didn't say much and walked forward while observing the surroundings.

This hole must have been opened out of desperation by using stolen energy to replenish life. Therefore, the walls of the cave are lifeless and lifeless gray. Dust will fall straight down when touched, and only one person can pass through.

After walking dozens of feet like this, the narrow passage suddenly widened and three forked roads appeared.

"Here we go again!" Jin Jin said with a speechless expression: "The Xuezu beast is actually just a sieve. Why are there so many channels in the heart core?"

Liu Qinghuan touched the cave wall, shook his head and said, "This should have been a meridian, but the blood and energy in the meridian...may have been sucked dry."

Jin Jin was startled and quickly raised his hand to touch it. Sure enough, it felt slightly moist.

Liu Qinghuan hesitated between the three forked roads, quickly selected the one on the left and continued walking forward.

Jin Jin followed behind and saw that he only paused slightly every time he encountered a fork in the road, as if he knew the way to go. He couldn't help but said: "Fellow Taoist Qinglin, we have walked so far, we won't go the wrong way, right?"

"No." Liu Qinghuan said without turning around. After thinking for a while, he added: "There will be a faint trace of death where the bones pass."

"Really? Why didn't I feel it?" Jin Jin looked around in confusion.

"Because the death energy is very weak and difficult to detect." As for the way of life and death he cultivated, even if there is only a trace of death energy left, it cannot escape his perception.

In this way, after walking more than ten feet, the passage in front suddenly turned, and Liu Qinghuan's figure stopped suddenly.

Jin Jin poked his head over and screamed out!

It was a ball of bright yellow light, only the size of a fist, but like a blazing little sun, hanging in the small cave, making it almost impossible to look directly at it.

"This, this, this!" Jin Jin looked in disbelief: "Could this be the real core of Xuezu Beast? Oh my god, so we didn't find the right one before!"

Liu Qinghuan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly caught a glimpse of something underneath the light ball, so he stretched out his hand to take a photo!

It was a small piece of broken bone only the size of a fingernail. The bone was fresh in color and there were still a few strands of undried flesh and blood on it.

Jin Jin's eyes widened suddenly, he looked at the broken bones, then at the light ball that was expanding and contracting slightly in front of him, and he quickly took a few steps back.

"Could the crotch bone be... eaten by this thing?"

Liu Qinghuan frowned and threw the broken bones in his hand forward, and saw a light arc suddenly blooming from the ball of light, smashing the broken bones into powder like lightning.

At the same time, Liu Qinghuan felt an extremely strong spatial fluctuation, which was so powerful that it made people instantly feel extremely frightened!

His heart sank, and he looked at the light group and fell into deep thought.

"It's over, it's over!" Jin Jinhai then retreated to the entrance of the cave before stopping: "How are we going to get this? Who dares to get it! I'm just saying that Xuezu beast is so powerful, how can it be possible for someone to easily take away the heart core!"

Seeing that Liu Qinghuan was motionless, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Fellow Taoist Qinglin, this heart core cannot be moved. If you move it, you will die! How about we forget it? Anyway, you have gained a lot along the way. Let’s open the star gate and leave quickly, right?”

"No!" Liu Qinghuan raised his hand and said, "I can definitely get this heart core!"

Jin Jin was a little anxious and quickly grabbed him: "No, you can't go! Didn't you see that all the bones were 'eaten'? Although you have cultivated the way of space, the power contained in this heart core is obviously far beyond You're so good! We've been together for so many years, I can't just watch you die!"

Of course, there is another point. The Star Gate is now on Liu Qinghuan. If Liu Qinghuan dies, how will he get out!

Liu Qinghuan glanced helplessly at Jin Jin, who was holding his arm tightly, and said: "I'm not going to die, but I have a way to deal with it."

Jin Jin refused to let go: "What can I do?"

Liu Qinghuan said: "Don't forget, who we came in with this time is Xuan Yi. And Xuan Yi doesn't even have my spatial attainments, so why does he dare to target Xue Ancestor's heart core?"

Jin Jin's eyes lit up: "You mean?"

Liu Qinghuan broke away from him, took out the box containing the egg of the sun and moon gods from the ring, thought for a while, and took out the unknown stone bead.

The stone bead is as big as a palm and is wrapped in a thick stone cocoon. There is light flowing inside, making it look extremely mysterious.

"What the hell is this thing?" Jin Jin looked closer.

"I don't know." Liu Qinghuan said, "But it's worth a try."

As he spoke, he tentatively released a trace of spiritual power, which smoothly entered the stone bead.

Shi Zhu had no reaction, but at least there was no bad reaction, so Liu Qinghuan increased the input of spiritual power.

Fortunately, the commotion before the bone-breaking process allowed all of them to regain use of their spiritual power. The stone beads swallowed up nearly 40% of Liu Qinghuan's spiritual power, and the surface of the stone skin finally became like leaves, layer by layer. Open slowly.

"It's useful!" Jin Jin shouted excitedly: "This is amazing!"

Only the outer layers of the open stone skin are gray, while other colors gradually appear inside, like a colorful flower, revealing its exquisite beauty.

Liu Qinghuan tossed it lightly, and the blooming flower flew up. The petals spread out and floated towards the yellow light group suspended in the air!

The two people next to them watched nervously, fearing that Xuezu Beast's heart core would attack it. However, they did not encounter any obstacles this time. They saw that the heart core fell down on its own and fell steadily into the heart of the flower.

Amidst Jin Jin's repeated exclamations, the colorful flowers slowly gathered their petals, wrapped the newly added yellow flower core, and flew into Liu Qinghuan's palm.

"It's so easy!" Jin Jin opened his eyes and laughed loudly: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for successfully obtaining the heart core of Xuezu Beast. This core is definitely a big treasure, hahaha!"

Looking at the stone beads re-closed in his hands, Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to answer, his expression suddenly turned cold!

His figure suddenly changed, from solid to ethereal in just a short moment, and the next moment, a slender pale hand patted his back and passed through his chest and abdomen.

Turning around, I don’t know when there was a person behind me. The face that was once as dry as a skeleton was extremely young. He was also wearing a fitted robe. The skin of his exposed arms seemed to be broken by a blow, but there was an uncomfortable feeling. Normal paleness.

The young man obviously didn't expect Liu Qinghuan to escape the sneak attack, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. Jin Jin on the other side just reacted at this time and couldn't help but screamed in surprise.

Liu Qinghuan stared at the other party and smiled coldly: "Zi Gu! You are indeed not dead..."
