In the darkness, he slowly opened his eyes.
The surroundings were dark. Then, not far in front of him, a faint light slowly lit up, like a weak candle flame in the night, quietly burning.
He silently looked over there. That ray of light was a light purple, then it turned green, and then it slowly turned dark green. Like this, it kept changing, flickering with all kinds of colors, it was very beautiful.
[Zhi zhi, zhi zhi …]
Suddenly, beside him, Xiao Hui's low voice was heard, as if because it was in the darkness, even its voice, did not dare to be too loud.
Ghost Li turned his head, as expected against that faint light, he saw the monkey Xiao Hui crouching beside him.
He smiled, subconsciously clenched his teeth, wanted to endure the pain and sit up first, to take a clear look at the surroundings before doing anything. Unexpectedly when he turned over and sat up, it was extremely smooth, there was not the slightest pain in his body, he sat up smoothly, instead it surprised him.
In the darkness, that constantly changing colour light, gently shone on his body. Ghost Li looked at his body, the injuries from the Black Water Mystical Viper's heavy collision, for some reason, suddenly unbelievably recovered.
He frowned slightly, in his heart was really surprised but for the moment he could not think of any reason, he wanted to stand up and take a good look at the surroundings first.
Thinking of this, his body had just moved, suddenly, he stopped, his body seemed to suddenly stiffen.
He didn't know when it started, but there was another hand in his hand, a fair, slender, and gentle hand.
Their grip was so tight, so natural, that it made one forget that their hands were still holding together.
Ghost Li was stunned, and then slowly looked to the side, that faint light, gently floating in the darkness, reflected that cold beautiful face. Anan's eyes were still closed, her face still pale, at the corner of her mouth, there seemed to be a faint trace of blood, like a strange red flower petal, landed on that snow-like fair face.
Her lips, slightly pursed, as if still carrying a faint smile.
A stretch of, silence!
Whose eyes, quietly staring in the darkness, time like water, ten years of time, deeply engraved in life, but also like, everything had never happened, like it was yesterday.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud sound exploded in this dark space. Immediately, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. In the distance, there seemed to be a clear cry of a phoenix and a furious roar. The entire dark space shook violently. Xiao Hui gave a strange cry, its body turned into a rolling gourd, stumbled to the side and with a plop fell onto the ground. Ghost Li was also unable to sit properly and leaned to the side.
And this force, shook Lu XueQi's body, as if she suddenly woke up, she let out a soft cry, as her body tilted, she opened her eyes.
The first thing that entered his eyes was darkness. Then, he saw a familiar face sitting beside him.
Just like ten years ago at the bottom of the Forsaken Abyss at the Heartless Sea!
The tremors slowly subsided, and the surroundings gradually returned to normal. Who knew what was going on with this violent tremor?
Lu XueQi slowly sat up and looked at Ghost Li. Ghost Li did not avoid her gaze and looked back at her. A moment later, they lowered their gazes. Their hands were still tightly clasped together.
Lu XueQi did not speak, his body did not move. Ghost Li's lips moved a little and then he slowly released his hand and retracted it.
Lu XueQi indifferently looked at that hand which retracted back into the darkness. That hand which just a moment ago, was still emitting a faint warmth. In her eyes, a faint sorrow suddenly appeared and then it disappeared and she resumed her calmness.
She stood up and at the same time, her brows slightly frowned. It seemed like she was also surprised by the sudden recovery of her injuries. She looked around and quietly said, "What is this place?"
Ghost Li also slowly stood up and said, "I am also not sure but I remember that we flew into the Celestial Emperor Treasury."
Lu XueQi was silent for a moment and said, "Was it you who saved me?"
Ghost Li glanced at her and then indifferently said, "No, it was your luck that you flew in before the stone door closed."
Lu XueQi turned her head and expressionlessly looked at him, a pair of eyes which were still bright in the darkness, seemed to be glowing.
Ghost Li did not look at her eyes, turned his head away and started to walk towards that faint light, at the same time he said, "You do not owe me anything, if you want to kill me, just do it."
Lu XueQi quietly stood in the darkness behind him, stood there for a long time and then gently patted the dust off her body and tidied up her appearance.
[Zhi zhi, zhi zhi!]
Xiao Hui who was dizzy from the fall just now, now recovered and leapt over. In a few leaps, it scurried up to Ghost Li's shoulder and crouched on his shoulder, looked towards that flickering mysterious light.
As it got nearer, the things reflected in their eyes also became clearer.
This was a wooden platform erected in the darkness, about half a person's height, a circular wooden pillar about the thickness of a baby's arm connected to the ground. At the top, there was a small platform about one chi in size.
In the middle of the platform, there was an ancient cup that seemed to be made of wood. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the entire wooden platform and the cup were completely connected to each other, as if they were one with the underground trees.
But the most attractive thing, was the thing in this small wooden cup. The wooden cup was about three cun tall, two cun wide, in the middle was a transparent liquid and floating above that liquid, there was a small transparent stone, with five flat sides, sparkling and translucent. And from this stone, a gentle light was emitted, forming a semicircular light screen on the small wooden platform, refracting various colours of light, spreading out in all directions.
Right now, Lu XueQi had already walked over, stood beside Ghost Li and looked at that wooden cup.
In the air, a strange fragrance floated faintly, pervading everywhere, making one's spirit roused when one smelled it.
Ghost Li and Lu XueQi were not ordinary people but right now they could not tell what exactly it was. Actually on this wooden platform in the Celestial Emperor Treasury, what was contained in the cup, was the legendary celestial medicine from the Celestial Emperor's secret treasure. This wooden platform and wooden cup, were connected as one with this unique tree, using this unique tree's ten thousand years of spiritual energy, to preserve the elixir.
And outside the Celestial Emperor Treasury, to be able to make the Black Water Mystical Viper this kind of ancient demonic beast drool over it so much that it did not hesitate to confront its natural enemy, the Yellow Bird that guarded the elixirs, it was precisely this cup of elixir that looked unremarkable.
And Ghost Li and Lu XueQi's injuries suddenly mysteriously recovered, was actually related to this elixir and this treasury.
Just that this kind of legendary secret news, today most people did not know, Ghost Li and Lu XueQi did not know, facing this kind of treasure, they only frowned in puzzlement.
While pondering, suddenly, another loud sound was heard, the entire Celestial Emperor Treasury shook violently, at the same time the Black Water Mystical Viper's terrifying roars were heard again, it seemed like this ancient demonic beast was extremely enraged and still refused to abandon the elixir.
Although the Celestial Emperor Treasury was an ancient wondrous place but right now, firstly it had been a long time, secondly it was unknown how many times the Black Water Mystical Viper had rammed into it, this level of ancient demonic beast's power, how could it be ordinary? If it was not the Celestial Emperor Treasury, if it was an ordinary small hill, most likely it would have been razed to the ground by the Black Water Mystical Viper.
Right now cracking sounds were heard all around, everywhere reverberated with the sounds of hard trees groaning in pain, the twisting sounds that made one's heart jump, at the same time the treasury shook violently, Xiao Hui screamed and almost fell down from Ghost Li's shoulder again, while Ghost Li and Anan felt the earth shaking around them, almost losing their footing.
Logically speaking, under this kind of violent impact, even if it was the entire wooden table and wooden cup, the elixir in the cup, would also be spilled out. But just as the wooden cup was shaking violently, the stone floating on the surface of the water suddenly emitted a thin golden light. It shot straight up and shone on the light screen. Immediately, the entire light screen was dyed gold. Then, the light suddenly grew brighter.
Under the illumination of this light screen, the wooden table which seemed ready to move, in the violent shaking, suddenly quietened down. Until the surrounding shaking gradually calmed down, that golden light then slowly weakened and returned to its original state.
Ghost Li and Lu XueQi looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment and admiration, this kind of uncanny workmanship, was really unimaginable.
Ghost Li looked around again, borrowing the light from this strange stone, he saw that other than this wooden table, there seemed to be nothing else in this treasury. But looking at this stone, it was crystal clear, immortal energy lingering in it, it was definitely not an ordinary item, it seemed like the rare treasure that he had been searching for so many days was this item.
Once he thought of this, his heart warmed, he stretched out his hand to touch that wooden table's light screen.
"Don't you touch it!" suddenly, Lu XueQi's voice, suddenly turned cold, rang out beside him.
Ghost Li's hand stopped in mid-air and then slowly retracted, turned around and faced Lu XueQi.
Both of them stood face to face, the distance was less than three chi but the indistinct warmth between them, right now suddenly turned cold, replaced by the coldness behind the silence.
Ghost Li looked at Lu XueQi, unhurriedly said, "I want this thing."
Lu XueQi looked at that man's eyes, quietly said, "I will not let you get it, unless you kill me first."
Ghost Li did not speak.
That faint light in the darkness, gently swirled, changing into seven colours, as if narrating something?
[Rumble!]
Another deafening deafening sound, similarly the earth quaked and the mountains swayed but this time the scale was even greater than before, although that strange stone emitted golden light to protect the wooden platform but the surrounding walls of the Celestial Emperor Treasury seemed to be unable to hold on anymore.
Following a hoarse snapping sound, above their heads, a huge piece of wood suddenly fell. Ghost Li and Lu XueQi jumped away at the same time, following which the deafening sounds continued incessantly, the Black Water Mystical Viper outside seemed to have gone into a frenzy, unceasingly striking the Celestial Emperor Treasury, at the same time the clear cry of the phoenix in the roar, also became more and more enraged and agitated!
Outside, an earth-shattering battle seemed to be going on!
The entire Celestial Emperor Treasury, under the immense external pressure, finally started to slowly deform, the walls on all sides started to slowly cave in, the broken pieces of wood started to fall like rain.
Under such circumstances, Ghost Li and Lu XueQi temporarily only cared about avoiding the falling huge pieces of wood and for the moment could not be bothered with the wooden table.
It looked like this Celestial Emperor Treasury was about to collapse but at this moment, as if it was the power of the ancient deities, that strange stone suddenly emitted a much thicker and more dazzling golden light, abruptly turned into a pillar and shot up to the sky. And this time, it broke through that light screen that enveloped the wooden table, and shone directly on the Celestial Emperor Treasury's dome.
In the treasury, a mysterious and distant voice suddenly sounded, like the mysterious Sanskrit chanting in Mount Lingshan, and also like the soft murmurs of the nine netherworlds lonely souls. Following that golden light pillar pressing against the dome, the entire Celestial Emperor Treasury seemed to receive some kind of strong support and stopped caving in, the falling pieces of wood also gradually stopped.
Then, in Lu XueQi and Ghost Li's line of sight, on the entire Celestial Emperor Treasury dome, in that dazzling golden light, suddenly, that mysterious voice sounded, as if it was chanting something, golden characters the size of a dou, under the illumination of the golden light, one after another appeared in the air:
Heaven and Earth heartless, treating all living things as straw dogs!
Ghost Li's body shook greatly.
After a moment, those nine words slowly disappeared but that mysterious chanting voice instead became louder and louder, more and more vigorous, in an instant, that dazzling golden light pillar suddenly like an explosion, blazing hot shot towards the entire Celestial Emperor Treasury, on the surrounding walls, under the illumination of the golden light, one after another golden characters appeared in the air, the strokes were bold and vigorous, as if they were flying.
Circling around Ghost Li and Lu XueQi, in the rumbling, flying in circles!
Ghost Li and Lu XueQi were awed by this breathtaking strange scene but following that they were attracted by the surrounding mysterious characters, they looked on hungrily, forgetting everything around them.
And Ghost Li's heart was beating faster and faster, at this moment, there seemed to be a voice shouting loudly in his heart,
"Tian Shu! Tian Shu! This is the third volume of Tian Shu! "
Outside the Celestial Emperor Treasury, FaXiang and the rest hid far away in the sky, watching the battle between the two ancient beasts on that strange tree, their faces involuntarily turned pale.
The huge tree trunk which was originally exuberant with vitality, lush foliage and surrounded by innumerable vines and flowers, right now it seemed to have suffered a once in a million years calamity, everywhere were broken branches and withered flowers, a tragic state.
And in front of the tree trunk, outside the Celestial Emperor Treasury, the Black Water Mystical Viper coiled tightly around the Celestial Emperor Treasury's stone door, its enormous snake head roared towards the sky. The divine beast Yellow Bird flapped its wings and flew, every time it flapped its wings, a gust of gale would blow up, even FaXiang and the rest who were watching from afar could feel the strong wind.
The Yellow Bird was covered in orange yellow feathers, both of its wings spread out to almost a hundred zhang, sharp beak and eyes, its claws were also huge and sharp, right now it kept on swooping down, using its sharp beak and huge claws to attack the Black Water Mystical Viper. And the Black Water Mystical Viper's mouth kept on spitting out poisonous gas, its snake head swayed, its fangs sharp, counterattacking with all its might and occasionally struck the Celestial Emperor Treasury below it.
