Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480 Gain Award
Ye Liuyun approached the edge of the cliff and looked down. The rock wall was extremely smooth, with dark small openings that seemed to be the positions where crossbow arrows were shot.
Ye Liuyun released his Divine Sense and found that the rock wall was hollow, containing the mechanism for the crossbow arrows.
For Ye Liuyun, this wasn’t difficult.
He used the Qiankun Palm, slamming it into the rock wall, creating a large hole. Then, he used Hyper Hop to move the crossbow arrows away.
The cliff on the opposite side was too far, and despite Ye Liuyun striking it several times, he couldn’t break it.
He didn’t dare to use Hyper Hop to move over because he was afraid there might be other restrictions.
So, he could only extend his Divine Sense into the opposite cliff and then use Hyper Hop to dismantle the crossbow arrow mechanism.
This was much more challenging than moving objects with Hyper Hop, and it consumed a considerable amount of Divine Sense.
Ye Liuyun proceeded slowly, taking a long time to dismantle one.
In the end, he couldn’t be bothered to dismantle it anymore. Instead, he directly destroyed it, which was much simpler. Afterward, following Meng Changxing’s instructions, he went to the bridge to disarm the mechanism.
The mechanisms on the bridge were all under the single-plank bridge.
Fortunately, Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes could see through it all. Otherwise, if Meng Changxing had to disarm them, he would have to grope around bit by bit.
There were three mechanisms on the bridge that would cause the bridge to suddenly break apart.
Ye Liuyun lay on the bridge, reaching under it to easily destroy the springs of the three mechanisms.
"The mechanisms are disarmed. Restore your senses and follow me across the bridge!"
Ye Liuyun was concerned that their senses might be too weak, and they could fall off the bridge.
However, as soon as they restored their senses, they felt the air around them become even colder.
Unlike absolute coldness, this kind of coldness made them shiver.
Even the faint breeze blowing felt like skeletons breathing down on them, whispering chilly air against their skin.
Ye Liuyun led the way, crossing the bridge first and guiding them to the other side.
One by one, they crossed the bridge.
"A bit to the left... Alright, now you’re facing the bridge. Take a step!" Ye Liuyun was directing Guo Da to cross the bridge.
Guo Da moved hesitantly, and Ye Liuyun had to help him adjust his direction. If he deviated slightly, Ye Liuyun had to make him readjust.
The second one to cross was Arya. She was already trembling with fear, and the cold wind made her teeth chatter.
Afraid to take a step, she moved forward carefully, finally managing to get across.
Next was Luo Yun, who also walked slowly and cautiously but successfully crossed.
When it came to Meng Changxing, he was already so cold that his legs were stiff.
Each step was a struggle, and in the middle of the bridge, he felt that he couldn’t lift his legs anymore.
At this moment, Meng Changxing felt as if he were in a cold, gloomy quagmire, surrounded by Yin-souls and skeletons constantly pulling and tugging at him.
His legs were frozen and wouldn’t respond, no matter how hard he tried to lift them.
Seeing this, Ye Liuyun used Golden Phantom Eyes to release flames beside him, but it had no effect.
This cold feeling was a Formation attacking the Divine Soul. External flames wouldn’t make him feel warm.
Helpless, Ye Liuyun had to rush over and carry Meng Changxing across the bridge.
"Hey? It’s not cold anymore, but it’s very hot!" Meng Changxing, crossing the bridge, found a different temperature on this side.
Of course, these were their perceptions.
Looking at the others, Ye Liuyun noticed sweat on their foreheads.
"Seal your senses!"
Helplessly, Ye Liuyun had to let them close off their senses again.
After sealing their senses, the situation improved, but walking was akin to moving like zombies, their legs not very agile.
"This is the best we can do! Let’s get out as soon as possible!"
Ye Liuyun led them through another section of the path, which seemed short to him. If they walked normally, they would face various tests, and few could pass them all.
On the sides of the road, they could even see human skeletons, likely those who failed the trial and died there.
However, their virtuoso had been taken by later arrivals, so the bodies had decayed, leaving only a pile of bones.
As they approached the end, Ye Liuyun and the others encountered a path blocked by Devil Qi.
If they used genuine energy to protect themselves, they would inevitably have to activate some of their senses.
So, Ye Liuyun asked them to wait and ran into the Devil Qi to absorb it. He wanted to absorb all the Devil Qi here.
As Ye Liuyun absorbed the Devil Qi, he observed the area and noticed the strongest energy fluctuation where the Devil Qi was thickest.
Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Phantom Eyes and saw that the Devil Qi was gushing out from a cave. Inside the cave, there were heaps of spiritual stones. Even Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes couldn’t see through the spiritual stones to discern what lay behind them. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Moreover, the Devil Qi there was so strong that, apart from devil cultivators, even martial practitioners at the Sacred Majesty ninth level would find it challenging to resist.
"I didn’t expect such good stuff hidden here! It seems no devil cultivator has reached this place before; otherwise, the spiritual stones would’ve been taken." Ye Liuyun felt fortunate that no devil cultivator had reached this place before.
While absorbing the Devil Qi, Ye Liuyun entered the cave and started putting spiritual stones into his Spatial World.
Only after he filled it did he realize that behind the spiritual stones was a black bead emitting continuous Devil Qi.
"This is a good thing!" Ye Liuyun sealed the black bead with advanced energy and put it away.
Although he didn’t know how much Devil Qi the bead could release, the amount it had released so far was enough for him to cultivate for a while.
For Ye Liuyun, this black bead was more valuable than the spiritual stones.
At the moment he took the bead, the Universal God Token in his Ocean of Consciousness also stopped emitting light and fell silent.
"Oh! So, this bead is the core of the Formation, the source of its energy!" Ye Liuyun suddenly realized.
He immediately exited the cave and found the others still standing in place, motionless.
Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to communicate with them, asking them to restore their senses and try again.
This time, what the others saw matched Ye Liuyun’s experience.
Ye Liuyun asked Guo Da to confirm, "Is the Formation still operating?"
Guo Da inspected and found that although they were still within the array, they had indeed lost their effect.
Ye Liuyun then shared his findings in the cave with them.
The Devil Qi bead was useless to the others, but Ye Liuyun could distribute the spiritual stones among them.
