Chapter 1248: Twists and Turns
Not long after, the meridians in Liu Ming’s body began to heat up. The crimson flame pill turned into a scorching stream of spiritual power, flowing rapidly in his body.
A look of pain suddenly appeared on his face
At this moment, through the clothes, one could clearly see a red light flowing rapidly on Liu Ming’s body.
After the red light circled around a few times, it rushed toward the sea of consciousness and disappeared in a flash.
Boom!
Liu Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and his body emitted an intense black light. A wave of extremely intense spiritual power spread in all directions.
Outside the cave house, Xie’er seemed to sense something. She stood up, looked at the direction of Liu Ming, and frowned…
As time pa.s.sed day by day, Liu Ming had entered the temporary cave house for about a month.
One day, there were thunderous roars from the sky above the cave house, and countless black spiritual clouds appeared above the island. They spun slowly, forming a black spiritual vortex with a radius of several acres.
In the spiritual vortex, waves of golden lightning danced wildly like snakes. The spirits in a radius of dozens of miles were stirred up.
Xie’er looked at the vision in mid-air in astonishment. She looked surprised and worried.
Such a huge vision was beyond Liu Ming’s expectations. The 2 arrays he had arranged in advance had no effect at all at the moment. Fortunately, the deserted island was surrounded by a sea of white mist, which played a big role in concealing it.
However, Xie’er still didn’t dare to be careless. She glanced deeply at the direction of the secret room, sat down cross-legged, and chanted. There was a burst of yellow light on her body.
Xie’er launched several symbols, then countless yellow scorpion phantasms the size of several feet flew out from her in all directions.
After advancing to the Real Pellet State perfect stage, Xie’er’s sensing mystic art was enough to detect any abnormal movement within a radius of thousands of miles. Much more sensitive than Divine Thought.
Although this mystic art consumed a lot of mental power, she had a firm belief in her heart, that was, no matter what, no one could disturb her master.
Just when Xie’er cast the mystic art, the spiritual vortex in midair began to change again.
As the black spiritual vortex continued to spin, black spiritual clouds flew out from the vortex and came into the cave house.
In the secret room, Liu Ming’s whole body was shrouded in turbulent black mist. There was a trace of pain on his face as if he was enduring something.
The black air on his body kept rolling, gradually forming a huge indistinct black phantasm behind him.
The spiritual clouds falling from the cave house were merged into this black phantasm.
As a spiritual cloud merged, the huge phantasm became thicker and clearer.
However, this process didn’t seem to be going smoothly. Although the black vortex in midair continued to spin, the falling speed of the spiritual clouds became slower and slower.
Every time a spiritual cloud fell, Liu Ming’s face became even more distorted as if he was enduring some kind of unbearable pain.
As time pa.s.sed, Liu Ming’s face became more and more solemn. The huge black phantasm behind him also began to show signs of instability at this time. Huge bubbles began to bulge on the surface of this semi-solid phantasm. Although it would slowly recover, other spots would still bulge again.
Outside the cave house, Xie’er seemed to sense something. She stopped using the sensing mystic art and stood up anxiously.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The black spiritual vortex above the cave house suddenly showed signs of trembling. The lightning in the vortex ran wildly, making strange whistling sounds.
Not long after, the black clouds in the vortex became unstable before bursting apart, turning into clouds of black mist, and spreading away.
“Not good!”
Xie’er was astounded. She rushed into the cave house, but the secret room was still tightly shut. The enchantment on the door also stopped her Divine Thought from sensing.
Although she wanted to rush in, she was afraid of disturbing Liu Ming at this critical moment and would be self-defeating, so she ran around in a hurry outside.
In the secret room, all the black air on Liu Ming’s body had dissipated. His eyes were closed tightly, his aura was weak, and there was still a dark red bloodstain overflowing from his mouth.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. His face was bloodless.
This forcible advancement unexpectedly failed not long after he started.
Now under the backlash of his spiritual power, not only his vitality was seriously injured and his meridians were damaged, the black and white real pellet in the sea of consciousness even had several cracks.
This made Liu Ming feel extremely despair in his mind!
His impulsive move was really a big mistake.
The bottleneck of the Celestial State was far beyond his original imagination. It was not comparable to the bottleneck of the Real Pellet State.
Now that his real pellet had suffered such damage, let alone advancing to the Celestial State in the future, whether he could recover to his original realm had become a big problem. “Master…”
Xie’er’s voice emerged from the bottom of Liu Ming’s mind, and her tone was full of anxiety.
“Xie’er, I’m fine. It’s just failing to advance to the Celestial State, and my body suffered a slight injury. I will retreat for a period of time to recover. Just keep guarding the outside.” After thinking for a while, Liu Ming communicated with a voice transmission.
Hearing Liu Ming’s voice transmission, Xie’er breathed a sigh of relief. She continued to guard outside.
Liu Ming himself sighed, trying to cheer himself up. He consumed several healing elixirs.
At this moment, a little white light flashed in the sea of consciousness, and a mysterious bubble suddenly emerged.
Liu Ming’s vision blurred, and he appeared in the gray prison s.p.a.ce.
Not far in front, Luo Hu was with his hands behind his back and looked at Liu Ming with a blank face.
“Senior Luo Hu!” Liu Ming was surprised and delighted when he saw Luo Hu. He hurriedly bowed.
Luo Hu looked indifferent as if he didn’t see Liu Ming’s bow. After looking up and down at Liu Ming, he said expressionlessly,
“Although I used to think that your apt.i.tude was poor, your temperament was not bad… I never thought that you would be so rash. For a mere fox girl, you actually tried to break through to the Celestial State with a little preparation. Now I start to regret letting you become the master of this prison.”
“Senior Luo Hu, you have seen everything?” After hearing Luo Hu’s words, Liu Ming stood up straight and said so.
Luo Hu smiled and said nothing, apparently acquiescing to this.
“I was indeed too rash in this. Now even my real pellet has cracks. Does Senior Luo Hu have a way to remedy it?” Liu Ming gave a wry smile and asked with a bow.
“There is a way, otherwise do you think I just want to tease you by summoning you?” Luo Hu squinted and replied coldly.
“Please give me some pointers, Senior Luo!” Liu Ming said hurriedly when he heard the words.
“Just follow me.” Luo Hu said lightly and waved one hand.
Light flickered in the depths of the gray prison s.p.a.ce, then a deep s.p.a.ce tunnel emerged, leading to somewhere.
Liu Ming’s body was wrapped in a force and flew into the s.p.a.ce tunnel.
Before he had time to ask anything, the scenery in front of him changed rapidly. After a few seconds, he appeared in front of a gray and quaint hall.
Liu Ming glanced around. The s.p.a.ce in front of him was quite similar to the prison s.p.a.ce, but the area was much smaller. Besides, there was a strong demonic qi here.
“Senior Luo Hu, where is it?” He asked tentatively.
“This is the Demon Sealing Hall deep in the prison, where many demonic souls are sealed here.” Luo Hu said flatly.
Liu Ming gasped when he heard that, and he became silent for a while.
“Let’s go. Your injury is too serious. With the power I can use now, it is not enough to recover it, so we are going to meet a demon creature inside and ask him to help.” Luo Hu said while walking toward the main hall.
Liu Ming was taken aback by this, but Luo Hu had already walked into the hall, so he had to follow.
The main hall in front looked about 60 meters tall. It was made of a kind of black material, but it looked a bit dilapidated at the moment. There were some strange inscriptions engraved on it, giving people a very ancient feeling.
As soon as Liu Ming stepped into the hall, the s.p.a.ce suddenly changed drastically. The hall above his head suddenly rose infinitely higher, and the s.p.a.ce in the hall expanded by a hundredfold.
His vision blurred. When his vision returned to normal, the surrounding scene changed drastically. The hall could no longer be seen. He and Luo Hu were actually standing in an extremely wide s.p.a.ce.
The entire s.p.a.ce exuded a faint black air. There was a flat square underneath. The palace above was almost invisible as if it had merged with the sky.
The square was not empty. There was a giant black crystal pillar 90 meters tall every tens of meters.
There were strange demonic soul monsters being bound onto the pillars with black chains.
These demonic soul monsters were of different sizes and appearances. They were completely different from the many demonic creatures he had seen before.
But without exception, these monsters tied to the pillars all exude a strong true demonic qi. The aura emitted by them was higher than that of Liu Ming, at least the Celestial State.
Seeing the silhouettes of Liu Ming and Luo Hu, these monsters immediately let out a shrill roar, struggled violently, and rushed toward them.
But as soon as their bodies moved, the black iron chains tied to their bodies immediately emitted a faint white light. These demonic souls immediately calmed down as if they had been severely injured, but they still roared unwillingly.
