If the Hermit Peak was said to be the best place for hermits to live, then the Ethereal Peak was the place for fairies to live in seclusion.
Above the Ethereal Peak, not only was mist lingering around it, making it seem faintly discernible, there were also countless rainbows hanging within the mist, making it extremely beautiful.
Above the clouds of the Ethereal Peak, there were many palaces floating in the clouds. Beautiful women in green dresses could fly in the air without using the purple clouds. They were like butterflies dancing in the clouds, truly living up to their name of fairies.
At that moment, Xing Jue and the others were in one of the most important palaces in the Ethereal Peak, the Autumn Moon Palace. This was the residence of the Ethereal Peak's management elder, Elder Qiu Yue.
"This is the Ethereal Peak's management elder's resting palace? It really is different from the rest! "
After Xing Jue entered the Autumn Moon Palace, he discovered that the Autumn Moon Palace was extremely simple. In fact, it wasn't because of how gorgeous the decorations inside were. Rather, it was because the Autumn Moon Palace was actually filled with spirit formation gates.
There were hundreds of barrier gates, and above each barrier gate was the name of a grotto-heaven. Just from the names of the grotto-heavens, Xing Jue could tell that those grotto-heavens were not simple.
"These grotto-heavens are our Ethereal Peak's forbidden areas. In order to prevent any accidents, Elder Qiu Yue opened a space portal in the palace that leads directly to the grotto-heavens."
Just as Xing Jue was thinking about the names of the grotto-heavens, a sweet voice suddenly came from behind him. At the same time, an alluring fragrance also came into his nose.
Looking back, he saw the world's most beautiful woman, Murong Xiaoxiao, standing behind Xing Jue. She was using a pair of charming eyes to look at him.
"Is Senior Sister Xiaoxiao's palace the same?" Xing Jue asked with a smile.
"Of course not. However, not everyone can set up a space portal that leads directly to a forbidden area," Murong Xiaoxiao replied with a smile. Her smile was sweet and alluring. She was indeed a beauty that could topple cities.
"Yo, Junior Sister Xiaoxiao and Junior Brother Xing Jue seem to be having a good chat." Suddenly, Bai Ye's voice sounded. Looking over, Bai Ye and Xing Jue were walking side by side.
"Junior Xiaoxiao, Junior Xing Jue, Elder Qiu Yue has already taken out the straw boxes, and the three elders are about to open them. Let's go over and not miss the wonderful moment when the three elders use their world spirit techniques," Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"En." Murong Xiao Xiao smiled and walked towards the straw box with familiarity.
"Kid, stay away from Murong Xiaoxiao!" However, just as Xing Jue turned around, a cold and threatening voice suddenly entered Xing Jue's ears. This voice belonged to Bai Ye.
Looking over, Bai Ye had an attentive smile on his face as he chatted and laughed with Murong Xiaoxiao. However, no one would have thought that he would secretly threaten Xing Jue.
"My apologies. She approached me on her own. Even if you want to stay away, you should say it to her." Xing Jue mockingly replied.
"... You've got guts." Bai Ye's voice rang out again, but this time, the hatred was even stronger.
"Heh..."
However, Xing Jue only indifferently smiled at Bai Ye's threat. He did not have the slightest bit of fear. Xing Jue had never been afraid of other people's threats.
That was because this was how he had gotten to where he was. Anyone who dared to threaten him had already been trampled beneath his feet.
Following Murong Xiaoxiao's footsteps, Xing Jue and the others quickly arrived at a living room. The living room wasn't very big, but there were orderly symbols engraved all over it.
As for Xing Jue, who was proficient in world spirit techniques, he was able to tell with a single glance that those runes and symbols were extraordinary. They were most definitely carved by an expert. Every single stroke contained enormous power. It could be said that under the illumination of those runes and symbols, the living room became a grand formation.
In the center of the living room, there was a circular stone pillar. There were also special symbols engraved on the stone pillar. However, what attracted Xing Jue's gaze was the straw box on the stone pillar.
The box was woven from tree roots, grass, and vines. Extremely powerful runes were engraved on every single vine. These runes formed an invisible Spirit Formation, causing the originally fragile grass box to become indestructible.
"It really is an extraordinary item."
Xing Jue tried to use his Soul power to pierce through the straw box, but it was bounced back by the Spirit Formation. That caused Xing Jue to be even more curious as to what was inside the straw box. After all, to be able to catch the attention of three grand characters like them, it meant that it was valuable.
"Elders, what treasure do you think is in the box?" Elder Qiu Yue asked with a smile.
"This box is woven from grass vines. I think that the box contains an Immortal Herb. As for the rank, it should be rank five," Elder Zhuge replied.
After hearing Elder Zhuge's words, Xing Jue nodded his head. His thoughts were the same as Elder Zhuge's. He felt that the legendary rank five Immortal Herb was very likely to be inside the box because Xing Jue felt that the ordinary-looking grass vines were actually very extraordinary.
"Hmph. Impossible. It is definitely not a rank five Immortal Herb." Elder Lei Dong coldly snorted.
"Then, Elder Lei Dong, what do you think it is?" Elder Qiu Yue asked with a smile.
"The Fallen Goose Valley is an ancient battlefield. It is a place where countless ancient seniors have fought and killed."
"It's said that in the ancient times, rank five Immortal Herbs were not rare items. How could the experts of that era use such a method to trap an ordinary rank five Immortal Herb?"
"So, in my opinion, it is a supreme Battle Skill. It is very likely to be an Emperor Level Battle Skill."
Elder Lei Dong's words shocked everyone present, especially Xing Jue. He had never heard anyone mention the Fallen Goose Valley, the so-called ancient battlefield.
However, just from the meaning behind elder Lei Dong's words, Xing Jue was able to tell that the Fallen Goose Valley was not simple. If it was really as he had said, that the grass box contained a Battle Skill from the ancient times, it would truly be priceless.
But no matter what, Xing Jue knew that the item in the box was definitely extraordinary. No matter what it was, it seemed to be something from the ancient times.
"Heh, won't we know what it is after we open it?"
Elder Zhuge did not refute. Instead, he seemed to be eager to try. Then, he said to Xing Jue and the others, "Xing Jue, Bai Ye, Xiao Xiao, Lu Yuan, the four of you leave the guest room first."
After hearing elder Zhuge's words, Xing Jue did not hesitate and hurriedly left the guest room. Even Bai Ye and the other two Great Asura Martial Gods did not dare to tarry.
After all, the difference between every level after becoming an Asura Martial God was like the distance between heaven and earth. Although they were peak experts among the younger generation, they were still like ants before Elder Zhuge and the others. They naturally did not dare to get too close to the three super experts who were breaking the seal together.
"Let's begin!"
After Xing Jue and the others left the guest room, the three elders began to form strange hand seals. Then, with a thought, they struck out with their palms. Layer upon layer of powerful energy ripples surged towards the straw box.
That was not the power of Asura. Instead, it was a powerful Spirit Formation technique. It was a Spirit Formation technique formed by tens of thousands of runes. They were currently breaking the seal on the straw box together.
Three mid-level Asura Martial Gods had unleashed their world spirit techniques at the same time. Although it appeared to be very ordinary, Xing Jue, who was proficient in world spirit techniques, was able to tell how powerful the methods the three of them had unleashed were.
* hum, hum, hum … *
Formless ripples spread out nonstop. Soon, the runes on the guest room started to flicker with a faint light. From weak to strong, the light grew brighter and brighter until it covered the entire guest room. The dazzling light blocked the line of sight of Xing Jue and the others.
* whoosh *
Seeing that, Xing Jue hurriedly closed his eyes. Since he was unable to see what was happening in the guest room with his naked eyes, he could only rely on his soul to observe everything.
That was because, from the very start, Xing Jue discovered that the Spirit Formation seal on the straw box was not simple at all. No matter how powerful the three elders' Spirit Formation technique was, if they were unable to find the opening point, they would not be able to open it.
Indeed, it was as Xing Jue expected. The three elders' Spirit Formation technique was like a million soldiers as they attacked the straw box nonstop. However, the straw box was like an airtight fortress that could not be broken through.
On the other hand, the straw box was actually endlessly devouring the three elders' power. It was extremely strange. After two whole hours, even with the three elders' strength, they were sweating like rain and their stamina was gradually weakening.
"This won't do. We are unable to open it. Should we give up?" Elder Zhuge's voice suddenly sounded out from the guest room.
"What? Even the three elders are unable to open that straw box? " After that voice rang out, Murong Xiaoxiao and the others were greatly shocked. However, after the next voice rang out, they became even more nervous.
"This won't do. It's already too late. This straw box is very strange. Its power has not weakened, and instead, it is intentionally concealing itself. It seems to be intentionally luring us to use our full power so that it can devour our power. If we give up now, we will definitely receive a backlash," Elder Qiuyue said gravely.
"Then let's continue. I do not believe that the three of us will be tricked by this little box. Today, I must open it." Elder Lei Dong had actually put all of his power into the straw box. He wanted to open the straw box in one go.
"It seems that we can only do this." Seeing that Lei Dong was using his full power, Elder Zhuge and Elder Qiuyue no longer held back and used all of their power to open the straw box.
At that moment, the three of them were already in a hopeless situation. They could only make their final gamble or else they were fated to fail.
However, the reality was not as simple as the three of them thought. Even though the three of them used all of their power to open the straw box, the straw box was still unbreakable. Instead, it was rapidly devouring their power. The three elders were already showing signs of being unable to endure it.
Just at that moment, Elder Zhuge shouted loudly, "The four of you, quickly retreat."
* whoosh whoosh whoosh *
After hearing Elder Zhuge's words, Murong Xiao Xiao and the other two instantly retreated. This was because they had heard what the three elders had said earlier.
The power that could devour the three elders was definitely not a small matter. If they were to be drawn into it, they might not even be able to keep their lives.
However, as the three of them retreated, Xing Jue was still standing on the same spot. His eyes were still tightly shut and he was even drenched in sweat. His expression was extremely grave.
* whoosh * Finally, Xing Jue's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. At the same time, an ecstatic expression surged onto his originally grave face.
"Master, the Sealing Spirit Formation of this straw box is a mysterious formation. It cannot be broken with common sense."
After discovering the weakness of the straw box, Xing Jue quickly transmitted his voice to Elder Zhuge. "First counter, second counter, third counter, fourth attack. If we use this formation four times, we will be able to break it."
"Elders, listen carefully. The Sealing Spirit Formation of this straw box is a mysterious formation. It cannot be broken with common sense."
After receiving Xing Jue's transmission, Elder Zhuge did not have time to think and immediately shouted, "First counter, second counter, third counter, fourth attack. If we use this formation four times, we might be able to break it."
* buzz buzz buzz *
At such a crucial moment, the two elders did not dare to hesitate. They quickly followed Elder Zhuge's instructions and began to break it. However, after they used this method, the light in the living room became even more dazzling.
* whoosh *
Facing such a situation, Xing Jue did not dare to hesitate. He leaped and arrived beside Murong Xiao Xiao and the other two.
At that moment, Bai Ye looked at Xing Jue with disdain. He seemed to look down on Xing Jue's super slow reaction speed.
* boom ~ ~ ~ ~ *
However, right at this moment, a loud sound suddenly came from the living room. It was as if lightning had struck the living room, causing their ears to ring. However, such a terrifying sound did not cause any damage. In fact, not even the energy ripples spread out.
"Quick, stop it."
* whoosh *
* Ji ji ji ~ *
As soon as Elder Zhuge's voice was heard, a ray of light had already shot out from the living room. It was so fast that Xing Jue could only feel its aura and hear its voice, but he could not see it at all.
