Seeing Ning Fan's serious expression, as if he had already sensed the danger of the second floor, Yao Qingyun raised her brows and explained.
"In this floor of the underground palace, what you need to be wary of the most isn't the undead spirits but the decadent sound of their flutes. That sound is filled with desires and formed an invisible sound formation. In ancient times, this formation was called the 'String and Bamboo Spirit Dispelling Formation'. This sound formation has a formation spirit. That formation spirit is at the Early Void Shedding Realm. Even I can't defeat it directly. You can't underestimate it. "
"These undead spirits are formed by magical techniques. They can't be killed and no one can stop them from playing the flute or the zither. As long as the sound of the flute and the zither can't be broken, this formation can't be broken. Once you force your way into this formation, you will be attacked by the formation spirit. In order to break this formation, you need to break the sound formation with sound attacks. However, according to my guess, even if you break the sound formation, you will only weaken the formation spirit's cultivation base at most. You won't be able to get rid of it completely … "
Speaking of this, Yao Qingyun frowned.
"Even if the sound formation is broken, the formation spirit won't disappear? Why? "Ning Fan was slightly surprised.
Currently, his cultivation base in the Dao of Formation was far inferior to Yao Qingyun's. It was reasonable for him to have doubts.
"I feel that this underground palace itself is a grand formation … The Golden Armor Immortal Formation on the first floor is a grand formation of the metal element. The String and Bamboo Spirit Dispelling Formation on this floor is a grand formation of the wood element. The grand forces of the first and second floors actually have a mysterious connection … If my guess is correct, this underground palace has at least five floors. Moreover, the first five floors are arranged according to the five elements. When combined, they will form a killing formation … "
"A killing formation, huh …?" Ning Fan's eyes flickered. If this so-called Five Elements Grand Formation really exists and if he has enough time, he would not mind devouring all of the five elements power in the formation.
It should be able to greatly increase the power of the Great Five Elements Physique.
"Do you want to play the zither or the flute?" Yao Qingyun suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" Ning Fan was stunned and asked.
"Your cultivation base isn't enough to break the formation directly. You will play the zither to help me break the formation. If you play the zither, I will use your music to break the sound formation. If you play the zither, I will break the formation with the sound of the zither. If you play the flute, I will break the formation with the sound of the flute. "
"Zither." Ning Fan suddenly recalled the time when Xu Qiuling taught him how to play the zither. His face was full of reminiscence.
That expression made Yao Qingyun feel extremely irritated, extremely … unpleasant!
This brat had a blissful expression on his face. It was obvious that he was thinking of a woman!
What made her the most upset was not that Ning Fan was thinking about women, but that ever since the blood pool baptism, she had been unknowingly affected by Ning Fan's words!
"Alright, I'll lend you this guqin. Play the song you're best at!"
Yao Qingyun patted her storage pouch and took out a zither Dao-weapon made of Frost Parasol Coldwood.
Yao Qingyun's Dao weapon was actually a zither!
Ning Fan sat on the ground and placed the zither on his lap. He felt that the zither was incomparably cold.
That coldness was grief, despair, unwillingness, helplessness, and the loneliness of being isolated from the world …
This zither was Yao Qingyun's dao weapon. All of the concepts and emotions within it came from the depths of Yao Qingyun's heart.
Back then, when Yao Qingyun had refined this Dao Weapon, she had been filled with grief and despair.
How sorrowful must it be to be able to cast such a zither …
Three feet, six inches, and six parts. Every string and every column was filled with a sorrowful aura.
There were bloodstains on all seven strings.
This zither was too sorrowful.
"What do you think of my Dao weapon?" Yao Qingyun could not help but feel a lot better when she saw Ning Fan looking at the zither so seriously.
"It's a very good Dao weapon. This Dao weapon has been infused with emotions. Its power shouldn't be weak. "Unfortunately, this zither was too sorrowful.
Ning Fan naturally would not say the latter half of the sentence.
"You have good eyesight. The power of this zither naturally can't be weak. I once used this' Severing Cloud Zither 'to slaughter an entire low-grade star region with a single song. "
After hearing Ning Fan's praise, Yao Qingyun nodded satisfyingly. Then, she took out a jade slip. What was engraved on it was a song score.
"This song score records my strongest sound technique. When you play this song, I can display my strongest ability and break the formation in one fell swoop!"
"Alright."
Ning Fan received the jade slip and glanced at it, memorizing the song score in his heart. If Ning Fan's cultivation base was high enough and he was proficient in sound techniques, this song would be comparable to a Shedding Void Realm ability. Its power would be terrifying.
Being able to obtain such a powerful immortal song for free was also considered a gain.
When he was about to return the jade slip, Yao Qingyun did not want it anymore.
"I find the things that you have touched dirty. I don't want them anymore. This jade slip is yours!"
Her words were still annoying but Ning Fan vaguely understood that Yao Qingyun was giving him an opportunity.
After thinking for a while, he did not reject her and kept the jade slip.
His ten fingers stroked the strings of the zither. When he closed his eyes, a sorrowful song was played.
At this moment, Ning Fan's robes were as white as snow. His black hair was like a waterfall. His expression was as leisurely as an immortal.
Although it was a sorrowful song, when played by him, it gradually became sorrowful but did not hurt.
If one wanted to play such an effect, it was no longer possible to rely on one's superb zither skills.
A zither player must have a strong heart!
He must erase all the sorrows in his heart. He must also keep all the sorrowful past and remember it in his heart.
Only then could he be sorrowful but not hurt.
When Yao Qingyun suddenly heard this song, her phoenix eyes were dazed, as if she had recalled the sorrowful past.
This song was composed by her life experiences. It contained her Dao, her sorrow and her loneliness.
She rarely used her sound technique to kill her enemies. Even though it was her strongest ability, every time she used it, she would recall the past and feel pain in her heart.
Originally, she thought that she would feel pain again when she heard this song. However, when Ning Fan played this song, not only did she no longer feel pain, she even felt that the knot in her heart was slowly being lifted.
Sorrowful but not hurt. Sorrowful but not hurt …
Yao Qingyun suddenly had an epiphany. She finally knew how to face her past.
If she could not let go of the past, then there was no need to let go. As long as her heart was not sorrowful, so what if this song was sorrowful …?
At that moment, Yao Qingyun seemed to have let go of all the knots in her heart.
At this moment, she actually faintly touched the bottleneck of the Mid Shedding Void Realm!
When one's cultivation base reached the Shedding Void Realm, it was already very difficult to increase one's cultivation base by relying on pills, Dao Fruits and incense flames.
The Shedding Void Realm and the Shedding Void Realm were the keys to cultivating this realm.
At this moment, Yao Qingyun had let go of the sorrows in her heart and retained the beautiful memories of the past.
Her Dao had become even more complete!
After a long time, Yao Qingyun finally regained her senses. Ning Fan had already finished playing the zither and was looking at her with a strange expression.
"Very nice? Are you intoxicated? Didn't you say that you want to break the formation? "
"Nice? Are you kidding me?! Your zither skills can only be considered above average at most. It's still far from the level where it can make me intoxicated! "However, your Dao of the Zither is something that even I can't reach. Sorrowful but not hurt. You can do it easily but I just realized it today.
Yao Qingyun would definitely not tell Ning Fan the second half of her sentence.
How could she possibly do something stupid like praising Ning Fan?
"Continue playing. Don't stop. I still need to listen to it a few more times. Only then can I perfectly perform my sound technique according to your melody." Yao Qingyun said in a serious tone.
"… Alright." Ning Fan shook his head. He kept having a feeling that Yao Qingyun was not only listening to his zither because she wanted to break the formation.
She also had other motives …
Yao Qingyun indeed had her own motives. She wanted to continue listening to Ning Fan play the zither to completely erase the sorrows in her heart.
After returning to the Slaughter Palace, she only needed to go into seclusion for a long period of time and she would be able to break through to the Mid Void Shedding Realm.
How could Yao Qingyun not grasp such an excellent opportunity to advance?
Thus, Ning Fan played the zither over and over again. She listened to him over and over again.
Gradually, Shuang Han's beautiful face turned gentle. In the end, she stroked her black hair and smiled sweetly.
Ever since she left the Yao Family in a sorry state in the past, this was the first time she smiled from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, there was no longer any sadness in her heart.
"Thank you." Yao Qingyun's voice was very soft like the fragrance of wild ginger flowers that dispersed with the wind.
"Thank you?" Ning Fan looked at Yao Qingyun with a strange expression. He had only played the zither a few times but he actually made Yao Qingyun say thank you willingly …
Ning Fan knew his own limits. He did not think that his zither skills were so good that he could move Yao Qingyun's twisted heart.
"It's nothing. Start breaking the formation!"
Yao Qingyun narrowed her eyes. All of a sudden, she moved her feet lightly and began to dance with Ning Fan's zither music.
Her light green dress fluttered in the wind as she danced. Suddenly, using her right foot as the axis, she gently waved her sleeves and her delicate body began to rotate.
Her body was completely stretched, making her look like a green butterfly that was dancing.
Her black hair fluttered with the wind. The light green ribbon that bound her hair also fluttered in the wind.
There was no sadness or indifference. There was only the calmness after seeing all the bustling scenes. Her slightly narrowed eyes were as calm as water. Her dance became even more graceful like the clouds.
Every frown and smile of hers was like a swaying nebula.
A light fragrance drifted into Ning Fan's nose. Even though it was very faint, it could not be erased.
Ning Fan played the zither with his ten fingers but his eyes were fixed on Yao Qingyun. He could not shift his gaze away.
He did not have any desires. He just felt that this dance was very beautiful, so beautiful that he could not bear to interrupt it.
"No matter how stupid a woman is, she will also have a skill." Ning Fan thought inwardly.
If Yao Qingyun knows about this thought, it is unknown whether she would be angry or not.
Yao Qingyun danced with Ning Fan's music. Her dance steps were light and graceful. Wherever she went, her sound was condensed into a formation.
She was really breaking the formation. Using her dance to condense sound and using her music to break the sound formation.
The sound formation under her feet gradually took shape. The grand momentum of the entire second floor of the underground palace was divided into two.
Half of it was taken away by the sound formation controlled by the undead spirits while the other half was taken away by Yao Qingyun.
The power of the formation was entirely dependent on its momentum. Without momentum, one would not be able to form a formation. Controlling half of the grand momentum was already enough for Yao Qingyun to break the formation!
She suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were as cold as water. When she pointed at a certain spot in the sky, a ray of green light shot out from her finger, bringing along the sound of Ning Fan's zither.
All of a sudden, Ning Fan's zither music spread to every corner of the second floor of the underground palace like waves.
As a result, the rhythm of the zither music played by the undead spirits was disrupted!
Rhythm was one of the most important aspects of the palm momentum of a sound formation!
Once the rhythm was disrupted, the sound formation would naturally be disrupted!
"Those who disrupted the Immortal Music of Six Desires, kill!"
Each of the undead spirits was enraged. They charged towards Yao Qingyun and Ning Fan with murderous intent.
Yao Qingyun sneered disdainfully and instructed Ning Fan. "You play the zither. I'll kill them!"
She continued to dance as usual. However, every time she took a step, an undead spirit would be destroyed by the grand momentum!
These undead spirits were formed by magic techniques. They were born because of the momentum. It was difficult for divine abilities and magic techniques to destroy them.
Only by breaking the momentum with the momentum could one have a chance to kill them!
* Bang * * Bang * * Bang *
Each of the undead spirits lost their lives under Yao Qingyun's dance. After a single dance, all of the undead spirits in this place were dead. Finally, an unusually strong qi gradually condensed on the second floor of the underground palace.
A three-headed giant suddenly appeared in the sky. It was clad in green devil armor and its body was shrouded in devil qi!
The moment Ning Fan saw the three-headed giant, his ten fingers did not stop moving. His expression did not change but his heart was filled with shock.
It was because the three-headed giant was actually the corpse of an ancient devil!
The ancient devil's corpse was left here as the spirit of the formation.
This corpse was controlled by the sound formation. Since Yao Qingyun wanted to break the sound formation, he had to kill her!
He was originally an ancient devil that was comparable to an Early Shedding Void Realm cultivator. During his lifetime, he could kill Early Shedding Void Realm cultivators with his physical strength.
Now that he was dead, he only had a strong physical body. He could no longer use any ancient devil abilities. Moreover, the sound formation was broken by Yao Qingyun. His strength was weakened and his movements were slowed down. Even if his physical body was strong, it would be difficult for him to use his physical strength.
"It's actually an ancient devil! Unfortunately, it's just an ancient devil corpse. It's useless. If it's a living ancient devil, it would be very useful to bring it back. I might be able to find out the secret of the 'blood' of the ancient devil clan. What a pity … "
Yao Qingyun tapped the ground with the tip of her feet and flew up. With a wave of her hand, the Severing Cloud Zither that was originally on Ning Fan's lap immediately returned to her hand.
This was her Dao Weapon. She could summon it back as she pleased.
"Break!"
Yao Qingyun held the zither with one hand and plucked the strings with the other. Immediately, a wave that was as clear as water rippled violently.
That wave was formed by the sound of the zither!
Wherever the sound of the zither passed, mountains would crumble into dust!
As for the ancient devil who was originally filled with killing intent, its eyes suddenly turned blank and its corpse fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The sound formation was broken!
If Yao Qingyun were to face the ancient devil head-on, she would only have a fifty percent chance of winning at most. Even if she wins, she would certainly suffer heavy injuries.
Today, she was dancing with Ning Fan while he was playing the zither. However, they managed to break the sound formation and defeat the ancient devil.
Luck. Luck.
"This ancient devil isn't a living creature. It's just a corpse. Moreover, it has been dead for many years. The essence of its flesh and blood has already been exhausted. It's useless to keep it. It's better to destroy it."
As soon as Yao Qingyun finished speaking, she plucked the strings of the zither, intending to destroy the corpse.
Ning Fan's expression changed. With a sway of his body, he appeared in front of Yao Qingyun and said hastily. "This corpse might be useful to me!"
It was just a possibility.
Ning Fan still did not know the cultivation method of the ancient devil. He wondered if he could find some useful information from the devil corpse.
"You need this corpse?" Yao Qingyun was stunned. Then, she looked at Ning Fan with great interest.
"Yes!"
"If you want it, then beg me!"
“...”
Yao Qingyun raised her head proudly with a complacent expression. Ning Fan, on the other hand, was speechless.
Could this Yao Qingyun be more childish …?
"If you don't beg me, I will destroy this ancient devil corpse …"
“...”
Ning Fan shook his head helplessly. He was not going to beg Yao Qingyun for an ancient devil corpse.
This ancient devil corpse was indeed useless. The essence of its flesh and blood had already been exhausted. It could not be used to refine puppets or concoct medicines. It was completely useless.
The only thing it could be used for was to study it. As for the ancient devil with ancestral blood, Ning Fan was probably the only one who could study it.
Ning Fan wanted to find information about the Second Step of the Ancient Devil Realm from this ancient devil corpse so that he could continue his cultivation.
However, he did not have the confidence to find anything from this ancient devil corpse.
He wouldn't beg Yao Qingyun for an uncertain factor.
Besides, if Ning Fan really wants to find out the cultivation method of the Second Step of the Ancient Devil Realm, he might not necessarily need to study this ancient devil corpse.
In the past four days, there were no true ancient devils but there were fake ancient devils.
Many body refinement immortal sects had mastered the cultivation method of incomplete talismans.
The so-called incomplete talismans were imitations of the devil talismans of the ancient devils. They were used as a medium to refine essence qi.
Among these body refinement immortal sects, many of them knew the cultivation method of the ancient devils.
However, they did not know the method to refine the devil talismans. Hence, they would never be able to become true ancient devils.
Since Yao Qingyun did not want to give up this ancient devil corpse, Ning Fan did not ask for it. He would try to study the ancient devil realm in the future.
"Let's go to the third floor."
Ning Fan shook his head and flew to the third floor of the underground palace.
Yao Qingyun was stunned. She could clearly see that Ning Fan wanted this ancient devil corpse. Why did he not want it?
Was it because he did not want to beg her? Would it kill him to beg her?!
Yao Qingyun played the zither and was about to destroy the ancient devil corpse.
However, right before she released the sound attack, she hesitated.
Yao Qingyun gritted her teeth and kept the Severing Cloud Zither unhappily. With a flick of her sleeve, she kept the gigantic ancient devil corpse into a storage pouch. Then, she took a step forward and caught up with Ning Fan.
"Take it. Consider it a reward from me!"
"… Thank you for your reward, Elder Qingyun."
"Mm."
Seeing that Ning Fan was tactful and kept the ancient devil corpse, Yao Qingyun smiled satisfyingly. Then, she grabbed Ning Fan and flew to the third floor.
The third floor of the underground palace was a world of ice!
Sure enough, there was a grand formation of water element here!
The first floor was metal, the second floor was wood and the third floor was water!
In this floor, there was a grand formation of ice dragons. Thousands of ice dragons at the Transcending Truth Realm hovered in the sky!
"This number is a little too much …" Yao Qingyun frowned. Ning Fan pondered for a while and passed a treasure to Yao Qingyun. It could be considered as a temporary loan for her.
"The treasure of dragon suppression!" Yao Qingyun held the Taigong Fish and looked at Ning Fan in disbelief.
How could he have the treasure of dragon suppression?
