Chapter 54 - Dao talismans
"NO!" Wait a minute, haven"t you noticed that there"s something off about this place? "
Li Mu shook his head, signalling Young Master Yun not to make a move first.
"Something"s wrong? I don"t think it"s anything much. Such an intense battle is enough to be worthy of such a great reputation as the Ancient Emperor"s tomb. "Young Master Yun rubbed his head, confused.
"NO!" Even though this kind of battle is enough to show the terror of the Ancient Emperor"s tomb, but did you realize, that the main character still hasn"t appeared? Also, Cloud Cracking Sect"s group definitely wouldn"t have nothing to do after eating their fill and brought a treasure like the Vermillion Bird Mirror to such a dangerous place. "
Li Mu"s intelligent eyes flashed with an indescribable radiance as he spoke out his opinion.
"Actor? You"re talking about the Ancient Emperor"s corpse! Yes, it should be the true owner of the ancient tomb, and it has not appeared until now, so it is indeed very clear what is going on. This group of Cloud Cracking Sect people, if I am not mistaken, are here to hunt down the Ancient Emperor"s corpse s or this formation. "Young Master Yun subconsciously looked towards the golden coffin floating in the middle of the cave. Although he was not 100% sure, there was a 80% chance that the Ancient Emperor"s corpse were inside the cave.
"Go to h.e.l.l!"
Suddenly, the empress phoenix robe angrily shouted from within the cave. Unknowingly, she had arrived underneath the golden coffin and stood on the blood-red altar.
The phoenix robe demon corpse took a deep breath at the black hole in the center of the blood-colored altar. An extremely dense wave of cold Miasma energy was sucked out from the bowl-sized black hole.Under the control of the phoenix robe demon corpse, the dense cold Yin energy turned into a huge ferocious ghost that was covered with barbs and completely black.
As soon as the Demonic Ghost revealed itself, it roared at the Flaming Great Bird that was flying towards the Phoenix Robe Empress, and then rushed towards it, entangling itself with the Flaming Great Bird.
The Flaming Great Bird"s claws moved at the same time as its wings surged with flames, pouncing onto the evil ghost"s body. The evil ghost was not willing to be outdone, and the barbed thorns on its body emitted a dense, cold light.
"Buzz!"
The cave trembled as rocks and gravel tumbled down. The two ma.s.sive beasts were engaged in a fierce battle. The cave was on the verge of collapse.
"Boom!"With a loud violent noise, the evil ghost suddenly exploded after grabbing the two claws of the Flaming Great Bird, transforming into a ring of pitch black cold yin energy that spread out.
The Flaming Great Bird was the first to be hit by the blast, and the flames on its body flickered unstably due to the sudden explosion. In the end, it directly scattered and turned into a stream of flame, returning to the Vermilion Bird Mirror in Chu Yu"s hands.The aura on its body weakened by a large amount, and Chu Yu and Ma Zongyun, who was controlling the Vermillion Bird Mirror, also felt quite uncomfortable. Ma Zongyun was a bit better, but his primeval essence was too much and it was a bit weak, so Chu Yu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as a piece of white paper.
"After all, external objects are external objects. So what if you can borrow strength? Today is the day you die! "However, I am really unable to understand why you would barge into our tomb if we stay in this Qingyun Mountain and provoke all of you before entering this world."
The phoenix eyes of the phoenix robed empress stared at Chu Yu and the others, as she asked with a puzzled expression.Indeed, there is nothing between the two of us, but the cadaveric pearl in the corpse of your high level demon is a treasure in the eyes of us cultivators. However, I did not expect that, other than the Primordial Emperor of Da Xia, there would be another Empress like you.
Chu Yu and the empress looked at each other. Although they were not in a good state, they were still confident.
"Oh? To speak in such a manner in your current state was simply boasting! If you can"t even deal with me, then forget about the Yuan Emperor who is several times stronger than me! "
The Phoenix Robe Emperor glanced at the five of them in disdain. With their opponent"s current state, even if he had the Vermillion Bird Mirror, his chances of winning against her wouldn"t be very high."Humph!" Do you think that if we only had this little bit of ability, we would dare to come here and find some unlucky existence whose strength is comparable to the existence of a sacred art? To tell you the truth, if you and Emperor Yuan were to spit out the cadaveric pearl and give it to me, then everything will be fine.
"If you dare to say half a "no", heh heh, your thousand years of cultivation will also vanish into thin air today!"
Chu Yu laughed coldly as he took out a stack of multi-colored talismans from his bosom. These talismans were all paper in nature, but every single one of them had a faint multicolored light flowing within them, so it was obvious that they were not ordinary talismans.
"Dao talisman!" So many precious Dao talismans, how could a little girl of the Innate Realm like you have them! "
Seeing the stack of talismans in Chu Yu"s hands, the phoenix robe demon corpse"s originally confident face greatly changed. The balance of victory seemed to instantly lean towards Chu Yu.
"Dao-seal?" "You actually brought so many Dao talismans with you. This is something that can only be drawn by a talisman craftsman at the Divine Art level. It can"t be said that our country doesn"t have any Dao talisman craftsmen at the Divine Art realm, but how can such a level of talisman craftsman exist?"
Young Master Yun could not help but exclaim in a low voice from the shadows.
This was a special group of talisman crafting masters. They were able to use special methods to seal all the sacred arts they knew into the talisman paper, which was also known as Dao talismans. Because the Dao Family"s talisman crafting techniques were the most prosperous and powerful, they were also known as Dao talismans.Every single talisman contained a sacred art of the Divine Abilities Realm Experts, and low level cultivators could use this kind of talisman as well, as long as they channeled a little of their spirit energy into it, it would suffice. Because it was not easy to create, it was extremely precious, ordinary Innate Rankers would have one or two of them with good luck in their hands, like Chu Yu, who only had one or two talisman.
"Young Master, where do you think the odds are against Chu Yu taking out so many Dao talismans?"
Looking at the large stack of Dao talismans in Chu Yu"s hands, Li Mu was extremely shocked as he asked.
"Who knows, I"ve never seen anyone at the sacred art realm, although I have seen some records of Dao talismans, but I have never personally experienced them either. It"s fine if we don"t know the results, but right, what is the cadaveric pearl that Chu Yu was talking about? I have never seen this recorded before. "The moment the cadaveric pearl was mentioned, Young Master Yun"s eyes lit up. In his opinion, people who were so valued by Chu Yu and the others must definitely be extraordinary.
"It"s the cadaveric pearl, the cadaveric pearl, it must be a pearl from the demon corpse, I"ve also never seen it before …"
Li Mu said half-heartedly. It wasn"t that he didn"t want to explain the cadaveric pearl to her, but if it was possible, she had to obtain the cadaveric pearl because it was something she needed. In order to avoid exposing its existence, he could only say it this way.
"How is it?! Are you handing the cadaveric pearl over to me, or do you want me to do it myself? "
Chu Yu played with the large stack of Dao talismans in his hand, and said with a serious tone.Her opponent was only at the level of Early Xiantian. As an existence at the Divine Abilities Realm, she was actually unable to retaliate under the suppression of the opponent.
"cadaveric pearl s are extremely important to us, just like the Yuan Dan of your human Divine Abilities Realm Experts. I don"t have anything else in this Emperor Tomb, but there are a lot of crystal s and things of gold and silver that were used to accompany the burial."Because she was afraid of the Dao talisman in Chu Yu"s hand, the phoenix robed empress spoke with a weak voice.
As for the crystal, although my Cloud Cracking Sect does not have a huge inventory of them, we do not lack them either. What I want is the cadaveric pearl, as a high level demon corpse, you should know how important your cadaveric pearl is to an existence at the Innate realm like me! "Su Yun said.
Chu Yu was happy that he submitted, but the more it was like that, the more unwilling she was to give in.
"Don"t go too far! Without a hundred years of hard training, it is impossible to recover. I have a thousand crystal here, take it, we are the emperors of the mortal world, not the emperors of the cultivation world. These thousand crystal are the most valuable things apart from the cadaveric pearl! "As she spoke, the imperial concubine grabbed at the rock wall not too far away. The rock wall that originally looked ordinary suddenly exploded, and a golden box immediately flew out from within.
When the golden chest fell to the ground, the empress waved her sleeves and opened the lid of the chest.
When the golden lid was opened, it immediately released a piercing rainbow light. It was actually a chest full of colorful crystal.
Seeing so many crystal, even though Chu Yu was rich, he still took in a breath of cold air. crystal were things that could only be encountered and not sought after on the market, even if it was an expert of the Divine Arts realm, it was not something that could be taken out with a thousand crystal.
As for Li Feng and the others, they were even more shocked. Although they were disciples of the inner sect of the Cloud Cracking Sect and had come into contact with crystal s before, and even had a few by themselves, wanting to use them to protect their lives in times of danger, they never would have thought that the Phoenix Gown Empress would actually use a thousand crystal.
"Wood, you"re so fast, why don"t you carry that golden chest away later? One thousand crystal s, this is not something that can be exchanged for ten million silver! "
Looking at the shiny box of crystal, Young Master Yun almost cried out.
Li Mu rolled his eyes as he looked at Young Master Yun, "Although the crystal is precious, it requires one"s life to flower. Don"t you know the situation?In short, take the crystal and leave, I can pretend that none of you have come. Although my cadaveric pearl is precious, but no matter how precious it is, it can"t compare to a thousand pieces of crystal.
The phoenix robed empress didn"t even look at the crystal, and directly looked at Chu Yu as she spoke.
Chu Yu thought, then looked at the big box of crystal, and hesitated for a moment.
"Miss! With cadaveric pearl, your ability will be reduced for a long time. Furthermore, if we kill the other party, aren"t these crystal ours the same as well? "Seeing that Chu Yu did not make a decision for a long time, Little girl in green Yun Er suddenly said.
