Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 852: The Undercurrent of Immortality: Xiao Bei Explores the Mystery

The scene after Shadow Phantom's self-explosion was in a mess.

The scorched earth had a pungent smell of sulfur, making it difficult to breathe.

Xiao Bei's face was stern, and his deep eyes were like an ancient cold pond, without a trace of ripples.

He picked up a charred fragment with his fingertips. It was the remaining corner of Shadow Phantom's clothes. The material was special and was definitely not used by ordinary monsters.

"There must be someone behind this shadow." Xiao Bei's voice was low, but with unquestionable majesty.

Beili followed closely behind him, and Lingdie flapped its wings anxiously on her shoulder, as if it also felt the oppressive atmosphere.

Elder Lingfeng and Fairy Xinglan stood a little further away, not daring to make a sound.

Xiao Bei exudes a powerful aura, which invisibly gives people a huge sense of oppression.

Xiao Bei paced slowly, his eyes sweeping over every inch of land.

Suddenly, he stopped, squatted down, and picked up a piece of debris engraved with strange patterns from the rubble.

"This is..." He looked at it carefully, his fingertips gently stroking the strange patterns, and a familiar yet strange feeling came to his heart.

"Master, what is this?" Fairy Xinglan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xiao Bei did not answer, but handed the fragment to Elder Lingfeng.

"Elder, you are knowledgeable. Have you ever seen this kind of pattern?"

Elder Lingfeng took the fragment and carefully examined it for a long time, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"This... this looks like an ancient secret pattern from the immortal world, but it's different. It seems to have been modified by humans."

Xiao Bei's brows were furrowed.

"The secret pattern of the fairy world? Could it be... someone inside the fairy world?" This thought exploded in his mind like thunder, making him feel unbelievable.

He had always thought that it was the demonic forces behind the scenes, but now it seemed that things were far from that simple.

If there really was someone in the Immortal Realm colluding with the Demon Realm, then the scale of this conspiracy would probably be far beyond his imagination.

He stood up and scanned everyone present with his sharp eyes.

Elder Lingfeng is his old friend for many years. He is an upright person and would never do anything to betray the fairy world.

Although Fairy Xinglan is a rising star, she is talented and simple-minded, and does not seem to be someone with ulterior motives.

But, apart from them, who else could be involved in this matter?

The high-ranking officials in the fairy world are all highly respected and virtuous people. Who has the courage to go against the world's condemnation?

Xiao Bei was in a huge struggle.

On the one hand, he was unwilling to believe that there would be a traitor within the fairy world; on the other hand, the evidence before him forced him to doubt.

"Abei, what are you thinking about?" Beili asked cautiously. She could feel the fluctuations in Xiao Bei's heart.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"It's alright, I just need to confirm something." He looked at Elder Lingfeng and said in a deep voice, "Elder, immediately go and look up the ancient texts of the immortal world to see if you can find any records of this pattern. Xinglan, assist the elder and make sure to find out as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lord." Elder Lingfeng and Fairy Xinglan took the order and left.

Xiao Bei's gaze fell on the devastated land again, and he secretly swore in his heart that no matter who was behind the scenes, he would find them out and restore order to the fairy world.

"Abei, the road ahead may be difficult." Beili looked at Xiao Bei worriedly and said softly.

Xiao Bei held Bei Li's hand tightly, his eyes firm.

"No matter how hard it is, I have to keep going." He raised his head and looked into the distance, "Some things must come to an end..."

[Event occurred]

Beili bit her lips tightly, digging her nails deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

She looked at Xiao Bei's tall back, which looked particularly lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.

How she wanted to share the burden on his shoulders, even if it was just a little bit.

However, she knew that her strength was too weak.

Faced with this complicated situation, she could do nothing but accompany him.

"Abei..." She called softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

Xiao Bei turned around and saw the tears flashing in Bei Li's eyes, and his heart softened.

He walked up to her, gently stroked her cheek, and said softly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"But..." Bei Li hesitated to speak. She wanted to say that she couldn't help, that she was useless, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

She didn't want Xiao Bei to worry about her anymore.

The depressing atmosphere was like an invisible net, covering Beili's heart.

She felt a tightness in her chest and could hardly breathe.

She knew that the storm had just begun and the road ahead was long and difficult.

At this moment, Psylocke, who had been silent all the time, suddenly squeaked twice, breaking the suffocating silence.

It flapped its wings and flew in front of Xiao Bei, pointing in a direction with its little claws and making rapid chirping sounds.

Xiao Bei's eyes instantly became sharp. "Psylocke, what did you find?"

The spirit butterfly flew around Xiao Bei and landed back on Bei Li's shoulder, gently flapping her cheeks with its wings, as if urging her to do something.

"Abei, Lingdie said that it smelled a trace of residual scent at the place where Yingmei self-destructed. The scent was very faint, but very special. It had never smelled it before." Beili said quickly.

Xiao Bei's brows relaxed slightly, and he glanced at Psylocke with appreciation. "Well done, Psylocke."

Psylocke raised her head proudly, her little eyes sparkling with pride.

It flew around Beili and Xiaobei happily, as if celebrating its own achievement.

Xiao Bei followed the direction indicated by the spirit butterfly and searched carefully.

Sure enough, in a hidden corner not far from the center of Shadow Phantom's self-explosion, he found a broken stone.

There was a faint scent lingering on the stone, exactly the same as the one described by Psylocke.

"This is..." Xiao Bei took the stone in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The texture of the stone is very ordinary, but there is an extremely obscure symbol engraved on it, which cannot be discovered unless you look carefully.

"Master, what is this?" Xiao Bei heard a voice asking.

Beili's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The voice was low and hoarse, with a strong demonic aura, and it was clearly not from the immortal world!

She subconsciously held Xiao Bei's hand tightly, her fingertips were cold.

At the same time, a tall figure slowly walked out from the shadows.

He was wearing black armor, his face was ferocious, and his scarlet eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.

In his hand was a huge black magic axe, emitting a frightening murderous aura.

"Under the command of the Lord of the Abyss, the demon general 'Xue Tu' is here! Xiao Bei, your death has come!" Xue Tu's voice was like thunder, shaking the surrounding trees.

Xiao Bei's eyes flashed, and a powerful aura burst out from him, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant.

The air around seemed to be frozen, making people feel suffocated.

"Just you?" Xiao Bei sneered, and a light flashed in his hand, and a long sword shining with golden light appeared in his hand.

"Today, I will let you see the true power of the Eternal Lord of the Immortal Realm!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Bei's figure rushed towards Xue Tu like lightning.

The golden sword light cut through the night sky, carrying a sharp sword energy, and went straight to Xue Tu's throat.

Xue Tu roared, waving the magic axe in his hand to meet Xiao Bei's attack.

boom!

With a loud bang, two powerful forces collided with each other, bursting into dazzling light.

The surrounding fairyland was destroyed in an instant, trees were uprooted, and rocks were shaken into powder.

The wind was howling, dust was flying, and the entire battlefield was in a mess.

Fairy Xinglan stood in the distance, looking at Xiao Bei's heroic figure, her eyes full of admiration.

"Come on, my lord! You will win!" Her voice was crisp and firm, and it was particularly clear in the chaotic battlefield.

When Xiao Bei heard the encouragement from Fairy Xinglan, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He looked at her gratefully, and the sword in his hand became more fierce.

He knew that he was not fighting alone, and there were countless people supporting him behind him.

Xue Tu's attacks were extremely ferocious, and each axe carried destructive power.

But Xiao Bei's body movements were more flexible, and he could always avoid Xue Tu's attacks at the critical moment and counterattack him.

The golden sword light and the black magic axe kept colliding, making a deafening roar.

The two powerful forces intertwined to form a terrifying energy storm that swept across everything around it.

"Xiao Bei, do you think you can really beat me?" Xue Tu roared, and the magic axe in his hand suddenly burst out with even more powerful demonic energy.

Xiao Bei's eyes narrowed as he felt the powerful pressure emanating from Xue Tu.

He knew that the real battle had just begun...

"Show all your strength, Demon General!" Xiao Bei's voice was cold and firm, and the long sword in his hand made a humming sound, as if responding to his fighting spirit.

【Event】

The golden sword light shuttled back and forth like a dragon, and every flash accurately hit Xue Tu's flaw.

Although the magic axe was swung violently, it gradually lost its order. Amidst the dull sound of impact, Xue Tu's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the black demonic energy became disordered.

Xiao Bei's clothes fluttered and his figure was like a ghost. Every time he appeared, he was accompanied by the cold light of the sword, making Xue Tu exhausted to deal with it.

"It's over!" Xiao Bei's voice was as cold as ice. His long sword drew a perfect arc in the air. Golden light surged like a scorching sun, instantly engulfing Xue Tu's figure.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, Xue Tu's huge body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up dust all over the sky.

He struggled to stand up, but felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart. The severe pain made him scream miserably.

Xiao Bei walked slowly to Xue Tu, looking down at him condescendingly, the long sword in his hand flashing with a cold light.

"Tell me, who ordered you?"

Xue Tu’s “Haha… Want to know? Dream on! You’ll never know the truth!” He roared, spitting out a mouthful of black blood from his mouth, and his breath quickly weakened.

"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished." Xiao Bei's eyes turned cold, and a golden light condensed from his fingertips, slowly penetrating into Xue Tu's eyebrows.

The powerful immortal power instantly invaded Xue Tu's sea of ​​consciousness, searching for fragments of his memory.

The painful roar echoed in the valley, and Xue Tu's body twitched violently, as if he was enduring the most cruel punishment in the world.

After a moment, Xiao Bei withdrew his hand, and Xue Tu's body collapsed limply to the ground, completely lifeless.

Xiao Bei's face was a little pale, and searching his memory was extremely exhausting for him.

But his eyes were gleaming with excitement, as he had obtained some important clues from Xue Tu's memory.

"The stronghold of the Lord of the Abyss... is actually here..." Xiao Bei muttered to himself, his gaze heading towards the northwest.

There is the misty forest at the junction of the fairy world and the demon world.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Bei took Bei Li and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the misty forest.

Psylocke fluttered beside them, guiding them.

The Misty Forest is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and visibility is extremely low.

The deeper you go, the more you can feel a gloomy atmosphere, as if countless pairs of eyes are watching you in the dark.

Xiao Bei and Bei Li moved forward cautiously, always alert to the movements around them.

The Psylocke was exploring the way ahead, chirping from time to time to guide them.

Finally, in a hidden valley, Xiao Bei discovered a huge black stone gate.

The stone gate is carved with ferocious monster patterns, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

"This is one of the strongholds of the Lord of the Abyss." Xiao Bei could feel that there was a powerful restriction hidden behind the stone gate. If he rushed in rashly, he would probably fall into an irretrievable situation.

He took a step forward and was about to carefully observe the restrictions on the stone door, when suddenly, a powerful force burst out from the stone door and pushed him open.

"Who dares to trespass into the Demon Lord's forbidden area!" A low and majestic voice came from behind the stone gate. Then, the stone gate slowly opened, revealing a bottomless dark passage.

Xiao Bei's pupils suddenly shrank. He could feel that there was an extremely terrifying existence hidden in that dark passage.

"Abei, we..." Beili's voice trembled a little.

Xiao Bei signaled her to calm down and spoke in a deep voice towards the dark passage: "It is impolite not to reciprocate..."
