Su Zimo paused in his tracks and frowned slightly.
There were elixirs and elixirs in this side hall – why would the Hell Suppressing Tripod have such a reaction?
The Hell Suppressing Tripod had always only devoured spirit treasures and had never been interested in elixirs.
Furthermore, the elixirs here were tainted by the curse and had long lost their medicinal properties – they were of no value.
However, the abnormality in his consciousness was extremely obvious and could not be an illusion.
To be precise, it was even greater than the reaction of the Hell Suppressing Tripod when it encountered a spirit treasure!
Su Zimo began searching carefully beneath the ruins.
Beneath his feet was a pile of dust and debris that buried a pile of useless items. All sorts of elixirs were mixed in the mud and were almost indistinguishable.
Su Zimo bent down and searched carefully.
This area wasn't big, but there was a lot of junk. There were broken stone tables, broken tables, abandoned bronze lamps, and many broken pots and porcelain pieces ….
Su Zimo searched for a long time but could not find anything worthy of the attention of the Hell Suppressing Tripod.
After pondering for a moment, his gaze shifted back to the bronze lamp from before.
The bronze lamp had a simple design and was extremely common. There was nothing exquisite about it and it was mostly buried in the mud. It should have been an ordinary illumination item that was embedded into the walls of this side hall.
Furthermore, the exposed parts of the bronze lamp were covered in a layer of green spots – it was clear that it was corroded by the curse of the emperor's tomb.
That was the reason why Su Zimo did not pay much attention to the bronze lamp when he first caught sight of it and swept his gaze past it.
At this moment, he approached the Antique Bronze Lamp and bent down, wanting to pull the Antique Bronze Lamp out of the ground.
As soon as his finger made contact with the Ancient Bronze Lamp, his body trembled, and his mind went blank.
Suddenly, a strong and strange suction force burst forth from the bronze lamp. Su Zimo felt as though his Essence Spirit in his consciousness was about to leave his body and enter the bronze lamp!
The Creation Lotus Platform sensed danger and shone brightly. Instantly, streams of jade green light burst forth from the 81 lotus holes and turned into thin threads that wrapped around Su Zimo's Essence Spirit and fixed it on the lotus platform.
Even so, the suction force was still extremely strong!
Pang pang pang!
After a short stalemate, the green threads on Su Zimo's essence spirit were all severed!
Even the Lotus Platform of Creation could not withstand this power!
Hum …
Suddenly!
In Su Zimo's sea of consciousness, there was a vast sound of Sanskrit. There were actually many phantoms of Buddhas that appeared, chanting Buddhist scriptures loudly.
The content of the sutra was precisely the Prajna Nirvana Sutra!
Around Su Zimo's Primordial Spirit, Sanskrit characters appeared one after another, glittering with golden light, dignified and mysterious, forming a Sanskrit barrier.
Strangely enough, after the phantoms of the Buddhas appeared and the Buddhist scriptures rang out, the strange suction force gradually weakened, and the attack was not as strong as before.
However, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra was incomplete. After the Buddhas chanted for a while, their voices stopped. The golden Sanskrit characters around them also faded rapidly.
The suction force from the ancient bronze lamp increased once again!
Su Zimo's consciousness had already regained a brief moment of clarity. He hurriedly retracted his palm and took half a step back with a shocked expression!
What was that ancient bronze lamp? It nearly devoured his Primordial Spirit!
Even the Lotus Platform of Creation could not protect him. If not for the fact that he had cultivated half of the Prajna Nirvana Sutra and caused the phantoms of the Buddhas to appear to chant the sutra, he might have died without knowing why!
This thing was truly sinister and could not be touched at all.
Su Zimo waved his sleeves and wiped away the mud around the ancient bronze lamp, gradually revealing its true appearance.
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's gaze froze as he looked at the lower half of the ancient bronze lamp that was buried in the mud and frowned slightly.
The part of the Ancient Bronze Lamp that was exposed to the outside was covered in green spots, but the part that was buried was dark yellow in color, without a single green spot.
Everything in the emperor's tomb was corroded by the curse and the soil beneath his feet was not spared either.
Logically speaking, even if the ancient bronze lamp was buried in the soil, it should have been corroded by the curse of the emperor's tomb.
However, the situation of the ancient bronze lamp was rather strange.
Su Zimo stared at the green spots on the ancient bronze lamp for a while and gradually discovered something amiss.
If he was not wrong, the green spots on the ancient bronze should not be caused by the curse of the emperor's tomb, but a type of copper rust!
In other words, the ancient bronze lamp was not corroded by the curse after being in the emperor's tomb for countless years!
In the emperor's tomb, even spirit Dharmic treasures could not withstand the corrosion of the emperor's tomb's curse. Up till now, Su Zimo's Hell Suppressing Tripod was the only one that was not tainted by the emperor's tomb's curse.
In other words, the ancient bronze lamp was definitely better than a spirit Dharmic treasure!
There was a high chance that it was a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure or a Grotto-Heaven Spirit Treasure!
At that thought, Su Zimo was secretly delighted.
If that was the case, there was a chance that the fourth wall of the Hell Suppressing Tripod could be repaired after devouring and refining the ancient bronze lamp!
Su Zimo looked around and when he realized that there was no one else in the side hall, he took out the Hell Suppressing Tripod.
The Hell Suppressing Tripod was in his consciousness and he did not dare to throw the ancient bronze lamp into it.
In fact, he did not even dare to use his spirit consciousness to move the ancient bronze lamp, afraid that the previous dangerous situation would occur again.
Carefully, Su Zimo circulated the Perfection of Wisdom Nirvana Sutra and covered his sleeves with a faint layer of golden Buddhist light.
Thereafter, he flicked his sleeves and swept up the ancient bronze lamp on the ground, tossing it into the Hell Suppressing Tripod.
With a plop, the ancient bronze lamp fell into the red-hot molten iron in the cauldron, disappearing from sight.
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and was about to put away the Hell Suppressing Tripod when he heard a splash. The molten iron in the tripod surged and the ancient bronze lamp floated up once more!
Immediately after, the Hell Suppressing Tripod shook continuously and the molten iron rippled, throwing the ancient bronze lamp out of the tripod and onto the ground.
"This …"
Su Zimo was stunned and dumbfounded.
The Hell Suppressing Tripod spat out the ancient bronze lamp?
After spinning around in the Hell Suppressing Tripod and being cleansed, the ancient bronze lamp was still intact and seemed to have turned even more mysterious.
The green spots on the ancient bronze lamp had already been washed away by the molten iron in the tripod and it returned to its original bronze color.
"Even the Hell Suppressing Tripod can't swallow this thing?"
Su Zimo stared at the ancient bronze lamp and his eyes flickered in deep thought.
This ancient bronze lamp might be even more valuable than he had imagined!
After washing away the green spots on it, a word was vaguely engraved on the top of the lamp that stored the oil.
Su Zimo walked closer and took a closer look before murmuring softly, "Soul …"
The word 'soul' was engraved on the lamp and it was written in Sanskrit. That was the reason why Su Zimo did not recognize it immediately.
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo took out a new storage bag and circulated the Perfection of Wisdom Nirvana Sutra according to the same method as before. He used his sleeves to keep the ancient bronze lamp in his storage bag and stored it separately.
He still didn't know where this thing came from or what it was used for.
However, something that even the Hell Suppressing Tripod could not swallow was definitely not ordinary!
Right then, a commotion sounded from the direction of the main hall.
The formation was broken!
