Chapter 1254 Entering the Inner Hall
Xiao Lin watched the four people from afar.
The four people quickly arranged the formation, stood in their respective positions, input mana into the formation plate, and soon a golden thundercloud condensed above the palace.
After another cup of tea, the lightning in the golden thundercloud began to crackle.
The five-colored spiritual light above the palace was so strong that it almost formed a thick light curtain to resist the attack of the lightning.
Xiao Lin knew that the forbidden method in the inner hall was much weaker than the dragon-breaking stone with forbidden runes, but it was not easy to break.
After a long time of estimation, Xiao Lin could probably estimate that even if the four people attacked continuously, it would take at least several days.
The ghost hidden pill did not last long. If he kept guarding beside it, once the effect of the ghost hidden pill disappeared, he would definitely be discovered.
So after thinking again and again, Xiao Lin quietly left the lake, found a very secret cave, and hid in it.
Although the four of them would also use a little of their spiritual power to pay attention to the surroundings, due to the suppression of spiritual consciousness in the entire space, their spiritual power could not go beyond the range outside the lake, and they could not detect Xiao Lin's trace.
Xiao Lin sat cross-legged in the dark cave, thinking about how to deal with it.
Since he had already reached the door of the inner hall, it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Lin to give up. Facing four old monsters in the fusion stage, he had no chance of winning. Even if he was fighting for treasures, he was completely at a disadvantage and might even lose his life.
This also made Xiao Lin secretly annoyed. Because of the obstruction of the water evil, his plan to destroy the jade tablet failed. However, he changed his mind and thought that if he really blocked a few old monsters in the fusion stage outside, he was afraid that he would not be able to break the restriction of the inner hall and would still not be able to enter the inner hall.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's hand flashed with inspiration, and at the same time, he shook his hand and shot out a flame, illuminating the cave. He looked at the incomplete map of the heavenly palace in his hand and fell into deep thought.
This fragment of the Heavenly Palace originally recorded the restrictions of the outer palace, but on the back, it recorded the path to the inner palace.
This fragment of the map does not seem as simple as it looks on the surface.
Xiao Lin carefully looked through the fragment, not missing any details, even the map of mountains and rivers depicted on it, and carefully rechecked them one by one.
Half an hour later, Xiao Lin still found nothing, as if this fragment of the Heavenly Palace had no connection with the inner palace.
Xiao Lin suddenly had an idea, and a green flame suddenly burned on his hand, and a chill spread in the cave.
Xiao Lin directly sacrificed the Jade Gui Ice Flame, but the fragment of the map still had no reaction under the Jade Gui Ice Flame. After a moment, a flash of fire flashed on Xiao Lin's hand, and then turned into a raging fire.
Under the scorching flame, the fragment of the map was still intact, and it was unknown what kind of creature this animal skin was, but it was invulnerable to water and fire.
Then, a purple light flashed in Xiao Lin's palm, and the innate purple thunderbolt turned into endless tiny lightning and penetrated into the animal skin.
"Hush, hum~~" The change suddenly increased. After the innate purple thunderbolt merged into the animal skin, a ball of golden spiritual light flashed from the animal skin. This ball of golden spiritual light floated in the air and soon turned into a perspective view of a palace.
After seeing the perspective view of the palace, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and then showed a happy expression.
He didn't expect that the design of this incomplete picture was so clever. From the appearance, this palace was exactly the same as the palace attacked by the four old monsters in the fusion period. Obviously, this was the perspective view of the inner palace.
This inner palace was indeed divided into three floors. Xiao Lin could even see the layout of the entire palace, and even the restrictions were all revealed.
"Small Five Elements Life and Immortality Restriction?"
Xiao Lin looked at the runes on it and finally understood the specific name of the restriction that the four people outside were attacking.
"Restriction center?" Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. He noticed that there was a secret room under the third floor of the palace. In the secret room was a jade tablet about ten feet in size, which was the restriction center of the inner hall.
As long as he could refine it, he could control all the restrictions in the inner hall, and then he would be invincible.
Then Xiao Lin looked at the perspective map carefully again, looking for a passage to enter. Xiao Lin believed that in addition to breaking the restriction and forcibly opening the palace door, there must be other ways to enter.
After searching for an hour, Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up. He finally found the key to the entrance and exit of the palace. It was in an inconspicuous cave deep at the bottom of the lake. From there, he could directly enter the first floor of the palace, and the map also indicated the method of entering.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin was ecstatic.
He didn't expect that the fragmentary map of the Heavenly Palace he accidentally obtained was the key to the entire treasure hunt in the inner hall.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin thought of a question. Since the Heaven Palace fragment map can open the internal perspective map by inputting the power of thunder and lightning, then does the Ghost Palace fragment map he still has have a similar effect?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin took out the Ghost Palace fragment map again and poured the innate purple thunder into it. With the infusion of the innate thunder and lightning power, the Ghost Palace fragment map actually emitted a golden light, and soon a golden light curtain about a foot in size emerged.
There were some tiny dots of light flickering on the light curtain, and some words could be vaguely seen.
Xiao Lin's heart moved, and he injected his magic power into his eyes, and used his spiritual eyes.
"Ancient inscriptions?" After seeing the words on it clearly, Xiao Lin showed a surprised expression on his face. It turned out that the words on the light curtain were the legendary ancient inscriptions. It was rumored that these ancient inscriptions came from the netherworld and were the words of the netherworld, but in the eyes of most cultivators, this was simply nonsense.
Although the netherworld has been circulated in the cultivation world for a long time, no one has really seen or been there. It is just a legend.
But the ancient inscriptions, like the texture of heaven and earth, can be combined into many powerful spells. By reciting them, part of the power of heaven and earth can be mobilized and condensed into a powerful attack.
Therefore, the ancient inscriptions were rumored to be popular in ancient times. However, although the incantations chanted through the inscriptions have strong attack power, they are not the magic power of the cultivators themselves. Moreover, just being proficient in the inscriptions and incantations, in addition to having strong attack power, cannot bring longevity.
Therefore, for countless years, the ancient inscriptions gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and now they can only be seen in some restrictions.
Xiao Lin judged from this that this should be a method to break the restrictions of a secret room. It seems that even if he refined the central jade tablet, he could not control all the restrictions in the inner hall.
Xiao Lin then opened the perspective view of the Heavenly Palace Remains. Sure enough, in an inconspicuous corner of this perspective view, he also saw a similar light curtain.
However, it was not an inscription, but an ancient immortal seal script.
"The third floor of the inner hall?" Xiao Lin also judged the location of the secret room from the perspective view.
"It seems that the other three fragments also have similar ways to crack the secret room ban." Xiao Lin pondered for a while and finally figured out all the keys.
It turned out that these five fragments, from the outer hall to the inner hall, all played an extremely important role. However, although Xiao Lin had studied the fragments several times before, he did not discover the secret of the inner hall perspective map.
Xiao Lin did not rush to enter the hall immediately, but looked at the perspective map again, remembering every corner and every detail in the perspective map deeply in his mind.
The next day, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation. After thinking for a while, he flashed out of the cave.
After swallowing a ghost hidden pill, Xiao Lin sneaked into the lake from the edge of the lake. After sinking to the bottom of the lake, Xiao Lin saw at a glance that the four old monsters in the fusion stage were still operating their magic power and working together to attack the inner hall ban.
Xiao Lin quietly hid his body and carefully searched around the bottom of the lake.
After searching for half an hour, Xiao Lin finally saw the cave entrance, which was only a foot in size, under a patch of water grass.
Xiao Lin was very dissatisfied in his heart. Tian Xuanzi was really a weirdo. He actually opened a secret passage under his cave, and the exit of this secret passage was also at the bottom of the lake. This was a bit superfluous. After all, if someone came to attack, they would definitely block the entire bottom of the lake.
But after Xiao Lin entered the cave and went hundreds of feet deep, Xiao Lin realized that he was wrong. It turned out that the cave passage below was very spacious, and one end led to the palace, while the other end led to another direction.
Xiao Lin suddenly realized through the rich spiritual energy that continued to flow into the passage on the other side that the other end of this passage might lead to the spiritual vein space of the fourth-level immortal spirit vein.
When the spirit vein is upgraded to the immortal spirit vein, many independent spaces will be formed between the entire immortal spirit vein. These spaces may only be the size of a palm from the surface, but after entering, they are an independent and huge space.
This is what the Buddhist sect said about putting Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed and creating a space of its own.
In the immortal spiritual vein, there are countless similar spaces, and one can even connect through such spaces to enter deeper underground or escape through an entrance to the outside world from the spiritual vein.
Of course, Xiao Lin was not in the mood to explore all this at the moment, but fled along the corridor towards the palace.
Soon Xiao Lin saw a stone door in front of him. Half of the stone door was covered with inscriptions, densely packed, and flashing with a gloomy atmosphere, while the other half showed golden textures and emitted a faint golden halo.
"Yin Yang Gate?" Xiao Lin saw the plaque on the door and couldn't help but smile. This Tian Xuanzi really likes to be mysterious.
Xiao Lin followed the method of breaking the restriction recorded in the perspective map and began to use the spiritual formula. Pure mana was injected into the stone door. The inscriptions and golden patterns on the stone door lit up at the same time, and Xiao Lin also felt a chill and a warm yang energy coming towards him.
Xiao Lin hummed softly, and under the operation of the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, the blood and qi dispelled the two forces.
After a while, the inscriptions and golden patterns on the stone door began to dim, and then returned to calm again. With a "zaza~~" the stone door closed again.
Xiao Lin showed a hint of joy on his face, and flashed into the stone door, and the stone door closed again. The gray inscriptions and golden patterns also flashed with rich spiritual light again.
After Xiao Lin entered the stone gate, he quickly reached the end of the cave. At the end of the cave, there was not a door, but a teleportation array emitting a purple halo.
Xiao Lin walked into the teleportation array without hesitation.
"Stop" Xiao Lin's eyes went dark, and the next moment, he appeared in a hall.
"It's actually a one-way teleportation array?" Xiao Lin muttered to himself. The purple halo in the cave was just a one-way teleportation array, which could send cultivators into the palace, but it couldn't send them back.
But Xiao Lin also had a little doubt in his heart. The arrangement in the cave could obviously be used as a back road, and if it was only a one-way transmission, this back road seemed to have lost its meaning of existence.
"Is the teleportation array that teleports into the cave not here? But in some hidden place?" Xiao Lin thought of a possibility.
"Boom~~"
Bursts of thunder came from above his head. Xiao Lin understood that these were three old monsters in the fusion stage who were attacking the palace restrictions together. They could not have dreamed that Xiao Lin had found another way and entered the palace first.
Xiao Lin began to look at the hall. There were eight stone pillars standing in the hall, showing the eight trigrams, and many runes were engraved on them. Around the hall, there were more than a dozen jade platforms around the walls, and on each of these jade platforms, a finished magic weapon was placed.
Xiao Lin came to the jade platform and looked at the dozen magic weapons with a surprised expression on his face.
It turned out that the magic weapons on these dozen jade platforms were all top-grade magic weapons, including various weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, and even three of them were complete sets of top-grade magic weapons.
And on these dozen jade platforms, they were all wrapped in a layer of forbidden aura.
Obviously, if you want to obtain these magic weapons, you need to break the forbidden aura on them first.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiao Lin began to search the hall. Soon, he saw a golden rune on the right side of the Bagua stone pillar. This rune would emit a faint golden light every few moments.
"So it's here." Xiao Lin smiled slightly and came to the golden rune. The moment the golden rune lit up, he plunged into the golden light and disappeared.
The next moment, Xiao Lin appeared on the second floor of the hall. The second floor of the hall looked much smaller, but in the center of the hall, there were more than a dozen cushions, and around it, there were five secret rooms.
On the stone doors of these secret rooms, the five characters of heaven, earth, man, god and ghost were written in ancient seal script, and under the stone doors, there was a palm-sized rune that would flash every once in a while.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin frowned slightly and continued to search on the second floor.
Soon, he saw the same golden rune on the wall on one side as on the previous floor. The moment the golden rune flashed, he entered it again.
After entering the third floor of the inner hall, Xiao Lin immediately felt a strange force coming at him.
His whole body suddenly sank, as if he was pressed down by a huge mountain.
"Nine Qi Pool?" Xiao Lin saw at a glance that in the center of the third floor of the inner hall, there was a pool about ten feet in size, with a ball of colorful mist flashing in the pool. This colorful mist condensed and did not dissipate, tightly wrapping the pool, like an inverted ball of light.
