The Severed Soul Stage cultivator didn't have to share the pressure with Xiao Lingyu. He could continue forward alone. After all, this was a secret passage with a shortcut. It was much easier than climbing the mountain from the outside.
Xiao Lingyu didn't blame the other party too much. After all, if it was him, he might have thought of doing the same.
As the saying goes: every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost!
Although the Severed Soul Stage cultivator tried his best and was able to bring Xiao Lingyu to the end of the stone steps, who knew if there were any unknown dangers ahead. For a cultivator who came to adventure, it was very necessary to maintain their strength to the maximum extent.
But what Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that after the Severed Soul Stage cultivator reached the end of the stone steps, he turned around and smiled at Xiao Lingyu. Then, he took out a spirit talisman and threw it at Xiao Lingyu.
As soon as the spirit talisman left the palm of the Severed Soul Stage cultivator, it turned into a golden brick and smashed down at Xiao Lingyu's head.
However, due to the restrictions of the spatial pressure, the brick didn't hit Xiao Lingyu. Instead, it exploded in front of Xiao Lingyu. However, the powerful impact caused Xiao Lingyu to roll down the stone steps.
Seeing that Xiao Lingyu had rolled down, the Severed Soul Stage cultivator turned around with a smile.
After a moment of dizziness, Xiao Lingyu stabilized his body. His expression was extremely angry.
He didn't mind that the Severed Soul Stage cultivator abandoned him. He could also understand that the cultivator went up alone. However, he couldn't forgive the other party for attacking him after reaching the destination.
He couldn't withstand the spatial pressure here, but that guy still attacked him. He was clearly adding insult to injury. If Xiao Lingyu had the chance, he would definitely kill such a sinister person.
At the same time, Xiao Lingyu was a little regretful. He regretted that he didn't let the serpent come out earlier to kill that person. He regretted that he didn't let the serpent come out immediately when that person put him down.
Xiao Lingyu felt that the serpent was his biggest trump card. Everyone said not to reveal their biggest trump card easily, so he had been hiding the serpent in front of everyone.
However, there was no need to hide it anymore. With a thought from Xiao Lingyu, the snake flew out of the spirit beast bag and coiled around Xiao Lingyu's arm like a small snake. At the same time, it released a spirit light that enveloped Xiao Lingyu's body.
With this spiritual light, Xiao Lingyu could no longer feel the pressure of the space. He drank a few mouthfuls of the spiritual liquid, and after recovering slightly, he quickly rushed towards the open stone door.
Behind the stone door was a large hall. The hall seemed a little empty and ancient.
There were several silver pillars in the hall that needed two people to wrap their arms around, and the pillars were engraved with some mysterious runes and lifelike mythological beasts.
Xiao Lingyu knew that this hall was the place where the treasures were hidden, and he also knew where the real treasures were hidden.
At present, no one else had come. Only the Severed Soul Stage cultivator was standing at a table in the hall.
There were three light shields on the table, and there were several treasures inside the light shields.
It was clear that the Severed Soul Stage cultivator was trying to break the light shield to obtain the treasures.
With a bang, the light shield didn't break, but the Severed Soul Stage cultivator was repelled far away.
After the Severed Soul Stage cultivator stabilized himself, he looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked in surprise, "You … How did you come up?"
"Hmph! If you can come up, why can't I come up? " Xiao Lingyu didn't take the treasures. Instead, he slowly walked towards the Severed Soul Stage cultivator. His expression was a bit gloomy, and his killing intent was undisguised.
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator narrowed his eyes and asked, "You want to kill me?"
"That's right!" Xiao Lingyu responded indifferently. Just as he was about to order the serpent to attack, a violent and ruthless aura rushed in, pushing him and the Severed Soul Stage cultivator back.
"What the hell is this place? If there is no good treasure, this old man will tear this place down!"
The cold wind stopped, and a cultivator wrapped in a tattered black robe rushed into the hall.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at him, and his heart immediately skipped a beat. The person who came was the Body Integration Stage cultivator. However, he looked a bit embarrassed. His black robe was tattered, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his black and white hair was very messy.
If the Body Integration Stage cultivator was in such a state, it could be imagined that if there was no secret passage, Xiao Lingyu would have to spend a lot of effort to reach this hall. He would probably have to feed the serpent the last bottle of the Ten Thousand Year Queen Bee Nectar.
"Eh? Two juniors came before this old man! " The Body Integration Stage cultivator looked around and saw Xiao Lingyu and the Severed Soul Stage cultivator. His expression was surprised and suspicious.
"Haha, fortunately, the treasure is still here!"
Just when Xiao Lingyu and the Severed Soul Stage cultivator were about to face a great enemy, the black-robed man walked to the front of the offering table.
Bang!!!
The Body Integration Stage cultivator didn't hesitate at all. He immediately slapped the light shield on the offering table.
Unfortunately, like the Severed Soul Stage cultivator, he was bounced back by the light shield, but the light shield didn't shatter.
"This old man doesn't believe that a broken light shield that has been eroded for many years can stop this old man from taking the treasure!"
The Body Integration Stage cultivator was a little angry. He opened his mouth and spat out a ray of light, and a black spirit sword appeared.
As soon as the black colored spirit sword appeared, the wailing of malicious spirits shook the hall. Its entire body was suffused with a shocking black mist, yet it rippled with a sinister killing intent that caused one's entire body to tremble.
Obviously, this black-robed man was a demonic cultivator, and the black sword was definitely a great killing weapon.
The attention of the Severed Soul Stage cultivator and the black-robed man was focused on the three light shields on the offering table. Xiao Lingyu, however, glanced at the entrance of the hall.
On the floor of the entrance of the hall, there was a stone sculpture of two dragons playing with a pearl.
The pearl that was embedded in the ground didn't have the slightest energy fluctuation and didn't look strange at all. It seemed to be carved from stone. It was the best treasure hidden in this place.
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator and Xiao Lingyu had taken a shortcut and entered the hall without passing through the entrance. As for the Body Integration Stage cultivator, he definitely wouldn't stay outside for even a moment. Furthermore, the three treasures on the offering table had completely attracted their attention.
Xiao Lingyu waited for the black-robed man to attack the light shield with the demonic sword before quietly running outside. He bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood essence on the stone pearl.
When the Essence Blood fell on the stone bead, the stone layer on the surface of the stone bead immediately exploded. A fist-sized bead that was shining with an emerald green light slowly rose up. If one looked closely, they would discover that Xiao Lingyu's Essence Blood was spreading into wisps of blood within the bead. After spreading throughout the entire bead, they slowly disappeared.
Xiao Lingyu reached out to grab the pearl. Although he could grab it and wasn't injured, he couldn't move it at all. He couldn't put it in his body or his storage belt.
At the same time, there was another explosion in the hall, followed by the laughter of the Body Integration Stage cultivator.
"Haha, it's a top-grade spirit artifact!"
"Congratulations to Senior Wu for obtaining the treasure!"
"It's just a top-grade spirit artifact. It's nothing to celebrate. I hope there are immortal or demonic artifacts in the other two light shields!"
Xiao Lingyu was very nervous. He stared at the emerald green pearl in front of him and tried to form a mental connection with it.
Dripping blood was to make the pearl recognize him as its master. Now that the master recognition was completed, the pearl seemed to be a little slow after being sealed for so long. It would take a while for it to obey the orders of its new master.
Xiao Lingyu was afraid that his actions outside would be noticed by the two people inside, especially the Body Integration Stage cultivator. Even if Xiao Lingyu and the serpent worked together, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Although the two masters in the room were still thinking about the other two light shields and didn't notice Xiao Lingyu's movements, a Severed Soul Stage cultivator rushed up from the foot of the mountain at this time.
The scene of the emerald green pearl appearing in front of Xiao Lingyu was seen by the Severed Soul Stage cultivator who had just come up.
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator was also quite knowledgeable. He saw the magic of the pearl at a glance and noticed that Xiao Lingyu's cultivation wasn't high. He directly rushed over, and a stream of light transformed from a spirit talisman shot towards Xiao Lingyu first.
"Bad luck!"
Xiao Lingyu cursed and swung his arm. The serpent rushed out and spat out an ice arrow to block the spirit talisman.
The serpent directly returned to its original size. The aura of a Severed Soul Stage cultivator surged out. Its serpent tongue was like a sharp sword that could extend infinitely. It rushed out very quickly and pierced the Severed Soul Stage cultivator's lower abdomen.
The serpent's tongue immediately rolled back and swallowed the Nascent Soul of the Severed Soul Stage cultivator into the serpent's stomach.
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator didn't even have time to shout before he died. He had consumed too much energy on the way up.
However, the battle outside and the aura released by the serpent had already attracted the attention of the two experts in the hall. At this time, the black-robed man broke the second restriction light shield and obtained another top-grade spirit weapon. In addition to being happy, the black-robed man and the Severed Soul Stage cultivator looked at the entrance of the hall together.
Under Xiao Lingyu's urgent mental summons, the emerald green bead had already begun to tremble slightly. It wouldn't be long before Xiao Lingyu could absorb it into his body. However, the two experts in the hall had already discovered that it wouldn't be easy for him to take the bead away so easily.
"Good treasure, it's mine!"
After the black-robed man took a look, he immediately shouted with his eyes wide open. His body flashed and like a black wind, he rolled to the door and held the pearl in his hand.
"Attack!"
In a hurry, Xiao Lingyu gave an order to the serpent that had just swallowed the Nascent Soul of the Severed Soul Stage cultivator.
Although the serpent was a little afraid of the Severed Soul Stage cultivator, it still pounced without hesitation.
"Beast! Go away! "
The Severed Soul Stage cultivator frowned slightly. He raised his other arm and slapped at the serpent. The mighty and powerful palm force directly blasted the serpent far away.
Although the serpent was only one step away from the Severed Soul Stage, this step represented the gap between two big realms. Even though it had the blood of the Azure Dragon, it was not a real dragon after all. It was difficult for it to challenge someone of a higher realm.
