Eternal Tranquility

The four of them stopped quite far away from the lake. Wu Wangzhi took out a few flags and threw them forward, counting with his fingers while performing various spells.

The other three people stood aside and waited. Liu Qinghuan looked at the large lake in the distance, and then turned to both sides of the lake.

It seems to be a quiet place, but there is actually a feeling of light on the back caused by the change of space. A gust of wind blows, and there are faint ripples like water waves emerging, covering the entire lake and a large area on the side of the lake.

And further away, it was like a layer of black veil covering the sight, making it difficult to see clearly.

The female cultivator named Mei Yan suddenly said softly: "I heard that there is extremely rare warm snow-skinned mud at the bottom of Guizao Lake. I don't know if it is true."

Gui Chan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Meiyan was born with ice skin and jade skin, so there is no need to use any warm snow mud. Moreover, the ghost algae in Guizao Lake is as good as life-threatening, so it is best not to go down there." ”

Meiyan's wonderful eyes turned, and she said with a half-smile: "Don't worry, I still know the importance, and I didn't want to make trouble at this time."

Gui Chan choked and felt a little embarrassed. He turned to Liu Qinghuan and said, "Speaking of which, this is my first time coming to Xuwei Mountain. If it weren't for Liao'er Cemetery, I would never want to come to a place like this."

Liu Qinghuan said: "Yes, I heard that this place used to be the sphere of influence of an extremely powerful ghost emperor..."

At this time, Wu Wangzhi put away the flag, and Liu Qinghuan stopped chatting and saw that he only left a small yellow flag in his hand and said: "Go forward, there are all kinds of invisible restrictions all along the road. There are only some very narrow gaps in the middle to pass through, so you must follow closely and make sure every step is not different from mine, otherwise the restriction will be triggered, and no one knows what the consequences will be!"

Everyone nodded to show their understanding, and he immediately walked a few steps away, his eyes suddenly burst into black light, he raised his left foot in the air, and his body floated forward one foot.

He glanced at the flag in his hand, made a mistake on his foot, took three steps to the left, tilted his body slightly, swung his right shoulder a little wider, a strand of hair floated out, and he saw several numbers suddenly appearing in the air. A sharp blade flashed silently, and the strand of hair was neatly cut into several sections!

He immediately retracted his shoulders and floated stiffly for several feet in a weird posture. He forcibly reversed his direction several times, and finally landed in a slightly sunken depression.

In just a short distance, Wu Wangzhi was forced to break out in cold sweat and said: "Do you see clearly? Come over here. Your foothold must not be more than two feet in diameter from where I am standing."

After taking another two breaths, Wu Wangzhi floated half a foot high without stopping, turned suddenly in the air, and continued moving forward.

Liu Qinghuan and others all saw the danger, and they all looked solemn and followed suit, paying attention to Wu Wangzhi's footwork.

The four of them circled along the left side of the lake shore, walking through the restraint of murderous intent at every step. They did not dare to miss a step with every step they took. Their minds were like strings that were stretched to the extreme, and no one had the energy to talk anymore.

The distance that could usually be crossed in just a few breaths took several people a long time to finally pass safely. Looking back, Guizao Lake seemed to have suddenly grown legs and was already far away in the horizon.

Fortunately, they were all Nascent Soul cultivators, so they adjusted their condition after adjusting their breath a little.

In the next few days, the group went on a killing spree in a canyon full of corpses, passed through a group of abandoned palaces with heavy restrictions, and encountered a dense forest full of poisonous insects. They trudged deep into the Xuwei Mountain. .

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and the four of them were not seriously injured.

On this day, the three of them climbed up a hill and saw a large mountain in the distance crossing the road ahead.

I saw colorful spots of light flashing all over the mountain, which could be seen from such a distance. The ripples that were constantly annihilating and regenerating caused the space to be slightly distorted. The light that burst out from time to time was like fireworks exploding in the dark night.

Liu Qinghuan's face turned very bad because the route they planned included crossing this mountain.

Gui Chan frowned and said: "Sure enough, the place where they said the large-scale collapse of the ban should be Taimu Mountain. No wonder so many people have turned back. It seems we have to go to other places."

"How to get there!" Mei Yan said impatiently: "To the left is Corpse Mountain, to the right is Blood Palace. Either side is rumored to be the most terrifying place. You rarely come back after going there!"

Several people had to stop and look at each other.

Liu Qinghuan asked: "Do you want to turn back?"

"No!" Gui Chan said gloomily: "I have to go to Liao'e Lingyuan, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of blood in front of me, they can't stop me!"

Mei Yan looked at Wu Wangzhi hesitantly, who spat hard, with a hint of ferocity on his face: "Give up? I, Mr. Wu, don't have the word 'turn back' here!"

Now that they all decided to go on, Liu Qinghuan mused: "It's better to go through the Corpse Mountain. Although there are elusive flying-headed demons up there, it's better than going to the Blood Palace."

Wu Wangzhi disagreed: "That's not right. The demon-faced blood leeches in the Blood Palace are afraid of fire and are easier to deal with than the flying-headed demons. I think it's better to leave from the Blood Palace."

The two had different opinions and both looked at Gui Chan.

Before the ghost toad could speak, Mei Yan said with a look of disgust on her face: "Don't leave from the Blood Palace, the devil-faced blood leeches are too disgusting, especially when they are twisting and turning, I can't stand this!"

Wu Wangzhi had nothing to do if his wife refused to do it. After discussing for a while, the four of them diverted to Corpse Mountain.

Halfway through, Gui Chan suddenly stopped and looked to the left, with joy on his face and shouted: "Look over there!"

But there was a sunken mountain valley over there, and countless rocks were covered in gray-white flames that were the same color as the ashes.

"What's the matter with the immortal fire?" Wu Wangzhi turned around and said, "You can't touch this kind of fierce fire. If it touches a little, it will be difficult to extinguish. You can only endure the burning every day until it burns to ashes."

Ghost Toad nodded: "I know, I mean didn't you see something in the fire?"

Liu Qinghuan frowned. He had clearly seen what it was, but he didn't look happy. Instead, he looked at the other three people.

Meiyan jumped up and said: "What is it? Hey, it sure is there! It seems to be a small pot, but it was not burned in the eternal fire!"

"Come on, let's go over and take a look!"

The other three were more active than Liu Qinghuan and had already rushed out.

When they arrived outside the mountain col, they finally saw clearly. In the midst of the flames, under a semi-tilted boulder, a small pot the size of a palm was half sunk in the soil, revealing a small arched ear and most of the The round body of the pot, with its moist and delicate surface painted with mountain stone patterns, looks very extraordinary.

Meiyan exclaimed: "Qingshan Pot!"

Liu Qinghuan asked in confusion: "Qingshan Pot?"

"The Qingshan Pot is a very famous treasure in the Netherworld. It has been missing for many years." Ghost Toad only said these two sentences, then turned around and said: "Look, there is a pool of ashes not far from the big stone. , I don’t know which fellow Taoist died here.”

"More than that." Liu Qinghuan pointed to the other side, where there was an unburned skeleton: "Someone came here not long ago."

It's a pity that he didn't take away the small pot, but he was burned to death. Judging from the messy stones around, many people have visited here.

Wu Wangzhi snorted coldly: "Those people don't have the ability, but they don't represent me! Let's talk about it first, whoever gets the pot first will get it, everyone depends on their ability!"

He glanced at Liu Qinghuan warily, pursed his lips, puffed out his cheeks, took a deep breath, and blew again!

Whirlwinds suddenly emerged, whirling into the mountain col, carving a path in the blazing eternal fire.

Meiyan smiled proudly, stretched her hand forward, and a smog-colored thread flew out from her sleeve, passed through the separated flames, and rushed towards the small pot.

Liu Qinghuan sneered in her heart and watched expressionlessly with her arms folded. He glanced at Gui Toad and saw that the other person was smiling slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

Seeing that the whirlwind was about to reach the small pot, he saw the gray-white flames suddenly surge, and several more strands sprang up from the cracks in the rocks, scattering the whirlwind!

"ah!"

Meiyan screamed, but before she could take it back, her pigeon was pinched by the fierce fire and immediately burned to ashes!

"Hehe!" Gui Chan smiled and patted Wu Wangzhi on the shoulder: "Brother Wu, the immortal fire is not that easy to deal with. How about I give it a try?"

Wu Wangzhi took a step back with a dark face: "You may not be better than me!"

Ghost Toad shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case."

As he spoke, he patted his stomach, made two gurgling sounds, and spat out a ball of green gelatinous liquid.

The ghost toad's expression became solemn. He stretched out his finger, and the condensation turned into a hand. When it reached the top of the big stone, it suddenly pressed down!

The flames rushed up, and there was only a sizzling sound, and the liquid was smaller at first sight, but it was better than the previous training, at least it did not burn out all at once.

Ghost Toad's face was filled with joy, he controlled the condensation to grab the small pot, and lifted it up!

"Ugh!" Gui Chan let out a strenuous groan, but the small pot didn't move at all, and the condensate disappeared into nothing within a few breaths.

"Haha!" Wu Wangzhi laughed: "Brother Gui Chan, it seems you are not very good either."

Gui Chan cursed a few words and took a step back with a stern look on his face.

Wu Wangzhi took out a sword and said without hesitation: "Let me try again."

As he spoke, he swiped his fingers on the sword, pulling out a trace of blood, spitting magic spells, black and red blood flames rising from the sword, and then threw it forward!

Gui Chan opened his mouth, glanced at Liu Qinghuan, and finally closed his mouth.

The sword finally caught the dragon-shaped handle of the small pot, but it still couldn't be lifted. Finally, it reluctantly moved back before it was burned, but it was seen that it could no longer be used.

The three of them tried for a long time, exhausting all their methods, but in the end they couldn't take out the small pot from the Everlasting Fire. The best time was just to shake the small pot.

But after all, no one dared to take the risk of entering the flames, and the pools of humanoid ashes were clearly there.

Gui Chan sighed and said, "Ah, fellow Taoist Qingmu, don't you try it?"

Liu Qinghuan looked at it in silence for a long time, and then said calmly: "It seems to be a very heavy thing. You won't be able to get it out. I'm afraid..."

Seeing the corner of Meiyan's mouth curved in a mocking arc, he looked over coldly and said with a smile: "You still have to try, maybe a blind cat will encounter a dead mouse."

He made a stroke in the air, stretched out his hand, and the Tainan Fairy Sword with its sheath was slowly pulled out from the storage space!

Now that he has been bullied, he will naturally not be polite. Since everyone can't get along as equals, he doesn't hesitate to show his strong side. Blindly keeping a low profile and biding his time will only make people look down on him!

The other three people opened their eyes wide and their expressions changed slightly.

Because the filth had not gone away, the true form of the Tainan Immortal Sword was still hidden, so this group of people did not recognize it, but felt that the sword was extraordinary.

With a clang, the fairy sword was unsheathed, and Liu Qinghuan threw it out: "Go and get that little pot back for me."

The Tainan Immortal Sword shook twice and flew towards the mountain col. The fierce sword energy rushed the immortal fire out of a path, and soon reached the vicinity of the small pot. The tip of the sword was inserted into the ear of the pot!

At this time, the immortal fierce fire had rushed back and submerged the Tainan Immortal Sword. However, the sword seemed to be unaware of it and was only trying to pull out the small pot.

Liu Qinghuan smiled slightly. The Tainan Immortal Sword, which could not even be burned by the Green Lotus Fire, would be afraid of this immortal fire.

The other three people's faces were a little ugly, but they had done things extremely well before, so it was hard to speak now. Finally, Gui Chan said cautiously: "Fellow Daoist Qingmu, your sword is not afraid of strong fire. It is really extraordinary... Well, are you a sword cultivator?"

Liu Qinghuan looked as usual and said: "No, I am an authentic Taoist cultivator, but I am just good at swordsmanship."

The ghost toad laughed dryly and looked at Tainan Fairy Sword with burning eyes: "Tsk, tsk, what a sword! What a sword!"

At this moment, Tainan Immortal Sword finally pulled out the small pot, and flew out with the immortal fire, staggering towards Liu Qinghuan.

Seeing the fairy sword flying out of the mountain col, Wu Wangzhi suddenly moved, and in a flash he was behind Liu Qinghuan, with both palms out!

Meiyan, on the other hand, pounced forward and flew towards the Tainan Immortal Sword.

The ghost toad was shocked and shouted: "Brother Wu!"
