Chapter 141: Selecting the Spiritual Pearl, Climax and Ending
Chapter 141: Selecting the Spiritual Pearl, Climax and Ending
The spirit pearl was firmly embedded in the groove on the stone statue's chest.
The palace shook more and more violently, and rubble from the dome fell down as if the end of the world had come.
Red light burst out from the eyes of the stone statue, interweaving into a huge light net that enveloped Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
The majestic voice sounded again, this time filled with fear: "No! You will release it! You will regret it!"
Bi Yao and Li Yuan held each other tightly, trying to endure the oppressive feeling brought by the fluctuation of spiritual power.
The air around them seemed to freeze, and it became difficult for them to breathe.
Li Yuan's talkative nature was suppressed by the tense atmosphere, and he just silently held Bi Yao's hand tighter.
"Regret? We've already traveled to this hellhole, what else is there to regret!" Bi Yao gritted his teeth, trying hard not to let his body be crushed by this force.
She felt that the spiritual power in her body was suppressed to the point where it could hardly function, but she still tried to mobilize every bit of strength to resist this powerful pressure.
The red light net became tighter and tighter, as if it was going to crush them into pieces.
Bi Yao felt dizzy and everything in front of her became blurry.
But she still stared at the statue, trying to see the source of this power.
Suddenly, the light network disappeared.
The tremors also stopped.
Everything became quiet, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
The eyes of the stone statue still emitted a red light, but it was no longer so glaring, instead it had a soft glow.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan slowly released their hands and looked around vigilantly.
The palace returned to peace, with only the stone statue emitting a faint light, illuminating everything around it.
"What's going on?" Li Yuan finally broke the silence, his voice filled with a hint of confusion and uneasiness.
Bi Yao did not answer. She walked to the stone statue and observed it carefully.
She discovered that the spirit pearl had disappeared from the stone statue's chest, leaving only an empty groove.
At this moment, the statue's eyes suddenly closed and the red light disappeared.
The palace fell into darkness again, with only a faint light emanating from the chest of the stone statue.
Bi Yao stretched out her hand and gently touched the chest of the stone statue.
A warm feeling spread throughout her body, making her feel extremely comfortable and at ease.
"What is this..." Bi Yao muttered to herself, her eyes fell on the chest of the stone statue, where a new pattern was slowly emerging.
"Yaoyao..." Li Yuan's voice rang out in the darkness, trembling slightly, "Look..."
Bi Yao suddenly thought that he could use logical reasoning based on modern knowledge to analyze this warning.
She thought calmly, what exactly is this so-called "release"?
Her previous experience in the world of immortals taught her that behind many seemingly dangerous restrictions, there are often huge opportunities hidden.
This warning is more like a test, testing whether they have the courage to break the rules and challenge authority.
"Li Yuan," Bi Yao said with a glint of wisdom in her eyes. "I think this warning might be fake. If this thing is really that dangerous, why don't they just destroy it directly instead of building such a complicated mechanism?"
Li Yuan slapped his head and said, "Yeah! Why didn't I think of that! Yaoyao, you're so smart!" His usual talkative nature seemed to regain some vitality with this sudden realization.
They decided to take the spirit pearl.
The moment Bi Yao's hand touched the spirit pearl, a cold wind suddenly blew in the palace and the temperature dropped sharply.
Strange patterns appeared on the surrounding walls, twisting and changing, wriggling like living things.
Then, a horrifying scene appeared.
Phantoms floated out from the walls one after another, gradually solidifying and transforming into the most feared images in their hearts.
What Bi Yao saw was the scene of himself being alone before he traveled through time, while what Li Yuan saw was the illusion of Bi Yao disappearing in front of him.
"Yaoyao, don't be afraid!" Li Yuan drew his sword and stood in front of Bi Yao, "I'm here to protect you!"
Bi Yao also reacted quickly, drew out his dagger and prepared to fight.
Although these phantoms have different shapes, their attack methods are extremely unified. They all directly strike at the fear in their hearts and try to undermine their will.
The battle was extremely difficult.
The surrounding space continued to distort as the battle intensified, making terrifying sounds.
The phantom's attacks are unpredictable and hard to guard against.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood back to back, encouraging each other and constantly looking for flaws in the illusion.
"Li Yuan, be careful!" Bi Yao caught a glimpse of a phantom about to attack Li Yuan from the corner of her eye. She pushed Li Yuan away suddenly, but was hit by the phantom and staggered back a few steps.
Li Yuan's eyes were bloodshot upon seeing this. He roared, and the sword in his hand shone brightly. With one blow, he shattered the phantom attacking Bi Yao, and then...
He turned around and swung his sword, destroying all the phantoms around him.
"Li Yuan!" Bi Yao exclaimed. Li Yuan groaned and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
In the attack just now, he used his body to block the fatal blow for her.
Bi Yao supported Li Yuan, tears welling up in her eyes. "You are so stupid! Why did you do this?"
Li Yuan smiled weakly and gently wiped the tears from Bi Yao's face.
"Because I love you more than anything."
Looking at Li Yuan's pale face, Bi Yao felt an unprecedented power surge in his heart.
She held Li Yuan's hand tightly, with a determined light in her eyes.
"Li Yuan, we will definitely overcome this together!"
At this moment, Bi Yao suddenly realized that the attacks of these phantoms were not physical harm, but were aimed at the fear in their hearts.
Fear is their biggest enemy.
She took a deep breath and looked straight ahead with a determined gaze.
"Li Yuan, look at me." Bi Yao's voice was filled with unquestionable power.
Li Yuan looked up and met Bi Yao's eyes.
In each other's eyes, they saw determination, trust, and love for each other.
"We are not afraid of anything!" Bi Yao's voice echoed in the palace, "We will face it together!"
As Bi Yao finished speaking, the phantoms around her began to distort, dissipate, and eventually vanish into nothing.
Peace returned to the palace, with only Bi Yao and Li Yuan hugging each other tightly.
Bi Yao touched the spirit bead again with trembling hands.
This time, there were no obstacles.
The spirit pearl emitted a soft light and slowly merged into Bi Yao and Li Yuan's bodies.
A powerful force surged within them, and they felt stronger than ever before.
Dazzling light emanated from them, illuminating the entire fairy world.
All the immortal cultivators felt this power and knelt down in the direction of the light.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan slowly opened their eyes, with a sacred light shining in their eyes.
"This..." Li Yuan muttered to himself as he felt the surging power in his body.
Bi Yao held Li Yuan's hand tightly, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly. "A new era..."
……here we go.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan bathed in the light of the spirit pearl, and an unprecedented power filled their bodies.
They felt as if they had become one with the entire world of immortals, and the rules of the world were like toys in their hands that they could manipulate at will.
Those who once questioned them now prostrate themselves at their feet, their clothes soaked with tears of regret; those who once were their enemies now tremble in fear, begging for only a little mercy.
Those who once laughed at Bi Yao for pretending to be weak now wished they could turn back time and take back those foolish words.
"Yaoyao, we really did it." Li Yuan was still talkative, but there was a hint of emotion in his tone.
He looked at the people kneeling at his feet, but he didn't feel proud at all, only a heavy sense of responsibility.
Bi Yao smiled slightly, with wisdom shining in her eyes.
"This is just the beginning." She felt the power surging in her body, but a sense of uneasiness arose in her heart.
This power is so strong, yet so strange, like a double-edged sword that can hurt you if you are not careful.
Suddenly, Bi Yao's face changed. She felt a strange breath coming from the far east, mysterious and powerful.
"Li Yuan, do you feel it?"
Li Yuan also put away his playful expression. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him.
"A...very strange power, I have never felt it before."
This power is hidden at the edge of the world, like a dormant giant beast, making it difficult to grasp.
It carries neither malice nor goodwill, but exists quietly, yet it makes Bi Yao and Li Yuan feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other and saw the same solemnity in each other's eyes.
What exactly is this force?
What kind of changes will it bring to the world of immortals?
Bi Yao stretched out her hand, pointed to the east, and said firmly: "Let's go and take a look."
Li Yuan squeezed Bi Yao's hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Okay! Let's go together!"
They soared into the air, transformed into two streams of light, and flew towards the east.
The sky of the fairy world seems especially empty because of their departure.
The wind whistled past, blowing Bi Yao's clothes. She looked into the distance, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
"No matter what it is..." Bi Yao paused and held Li Yuan's hand a little tighter.
