Chapter 2642: Chapter 2643: How About Making a Deal?
Very quickly, the Spirit of Crystal Stone realized something was amiss; if this continued, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t lead Ye Luo straight to her lair!
If Ye Luo obtained her true form, it would mean controlling her, which was something the Spirit of Crystal Stone found unacceptable.
Subsequently, the Spirit of Crystal Stone became smarter and deliberately chose the wrong path; after all, this was her home, and even if she took a wrong turn, she could easily find her way back.
However, Ye Luo, using his Clairvoyant Eye, did not follow the Spirit of Crystal Stone this time and instead took the correct cave path!
After walking a short distance further, the image of a hazy woman appeared in front of Ye Luo.
The Spirit of Crystal Stone finally revealed her form, unable to remain calm, because the ore vein had almost completely been traversed, and Ye Luo was close to finding her true form.
"What, couldn’t hold back any longer?" Ye Luo chuckled lightly.
"Have you been able to detect my whereabouts all along?"
The Spirit of Crystal Stone’s appearance was quite vague, and even with Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye, he could only see a dense source of Spiritual Energy. However, she had already developed Spiritual Intelligence, understanding cultivation, and being more adept at it than other species.
Her voice was more beautiful than that of a regular woman.
"I was just interested in the cave you’ve designed, but your traps are rather ordinary, without significant power!" Ye Luo said indifferently.
In reality, the cave’s traps were anything but ordinary; Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye allowed him to breeze through without falling into any traps.
"Hmph, say what you like. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. This cave isn’t as simple as you think; if you don’t know when to stop, you will be the one suffering in the end!" her voice suddenly turned cold.
Ye Luo laughed awkwardly, "I want you; will you give yourself to me?"
As soon as Ye Luo said this, the cave fell silent.
Although the Spirit of Crystal Stone was quite hazy, Ye Luo could sense her emotional shift.
After all, she had a gender, and possessing a Spiritual Body meant her feelings were not much different from other species!
"Oh, don’t misunderstand. I only want your true form with no further intentions!" Ye Luo added.
Still, there was a teasing undertone in what he said.
"You clearly don’t know what’s good for you. I initially saw you as a genius and wanted to offer you some guidance, but since you’re like this, go ahead and seek your own death!"
After speaking, her form dissipated directly, transforming into strands of Spiritual Energy that dashed towards the cave ahead.
She did this only to confuse Ye Luo’s view, thinking he had found the correct cave due to her revealing her tracks.
Ye Luo shook his head and paid her no mind as he continued his journey.
Just then, in the distance, a golden light suddenly flashed; it was a trace of his residual sense returning to his true form! It was indeed the deep thought he left in the sachet with the Infinity Sect Leader!
Judging by the time, he had been in the ore vein for more than ten days. Something must have changed outside!
Previously, he instructed the Sect Leader to hide the Infinity Sect members if something seemed amiss, knowing the Five Great Sects wouldn’t let things rest. The Sect Leader assured Ye Luo he had his own ways to hide from them, putting Ye Luo’s mind at ease.
But now the pouch was destroyed, indicating the Infinity Sect has encountered turmoil!
What troubled him more was that his Divine Sense was severely damaged, with no information returning, hinting that the opponent must be a Martial King Realm expert!
Unambiguously, it was the old undying sect members who took action!
Yet he couldn’t think much about it now; even if he went out, he might not be able to save the Infinity Sect members, and would just confront those undying sect members himself, plunging into danger!
Now, the only plan was to find the Spirit of Crystal Stone’s true form and then devise a strategy!
Rumble! Suddenly, the entire cave began to shake violently.
Ye Luo was immediately horrified because he perceived that this force came from outside. What kind of power could cause the entire cave to change?
Even several Martial King Realm experts couldn’t achieve this!
This meant it was the effect of a Formation, an enormous one, definitely not temporary, but planned over a long time, possibly years, to construct such a large Formation!
Could it be that someone had long had designs on the cave? But this was just speculation, as now he faced a real existential crisis; the Formation’s force could very well refine him, especially with his realm diminished, thus unable to escape!
The power was extremely wild, threatening to overturn the entire cave.
Moreover, a force was extracting the Law Power within the cave, clearly intending to refine the whole cave and force the Spirit of Crystal Stone’s true form out!
It seemed their target was indeed the Spirit of Crystal Stone, and without obtaining the true form, capturing the Spiritual Body was pointless, as disbursing it yields nothing; only by acquiring the true form could they solidly conquer the Spiritual Body.
Ye Luo then smiled bitterly, realizing he was entirely caught in this disaster; if he hadn’t come, it wouldn’t have had anything to do with him!
At least, the situation had escalated past the point where, even if he exited, those people wouldn’t let him slip away!
Rather than this, it would be better to delve further!
With determination, Ye Luo activated the Clairvoyant Eye, quickly advancing deeper into the cave; he moved swiftly, though the wild Law Power now caused everything to be somewhat sluggish.
As he stepped through an entrance, he saw a vague Spiritual Body bound by a mysterious power, indeed, the Spirit of Crystal Stone!
Ye Luo slowly approached; this power seemed to be a rare Law, one he had never seen, seemingly created specially against Spiritual Bodies, making escape exceedingly difficult once bound.
The Spiritual Body had been struggling intensely, but upon seeing Ye Luo, she abruptly ceased.
"How about we make a deal?" she suddenly proposed to Ye Luo.
