Chapter 293: Immortal Lord Explores the Mystery: Xiao Bei Sees the Truth
Xiao Bei pulled Bei Li and left the noisy fairy palace in a flash.
"Come on, wife, let's do something!" His tone was relaxed, as if he was going on an outing, but there was a glimmer of determination in the depths of his eyes.
Bei Li naturally followed suit, following closely behind, and even complained: "Husband, can you not be so sudden every time? My high heels are about to break!"
The first target chosen by Xiao Bei was the area where mysterious forces had frequently been active before.
It is located on the edge of the fairyland, a desolate place with thin spiritual energy. It is shrouded in gray fog all year round, exuding an unsettling atmosphere.
"This place is so eerie, just like something out of a horror movie." Beili rubbed his arms and muttered softly.
Xiao Bei also felt that the air around him seemed to have solidified, with a sense of oppression and heaviness.
He released his spiritual sense and carefully explored everything around him.
Suddenly, Xiao Bei stopped.
"Interesting." He pointed to a seemingly ordinary rock in front of him. There were some strange runes carved on the surface of the rock, flashing with faint light.
"These runes... look a little familiar..." Xiao Bei tried hard to recall, feeling that he had seen similar patterns somewhere.
Before he could figure it out, the runes suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful force surged out, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped Xiao Bei and Bei Li.
"Shit! What's going on?" Xiao Bei felt his head buzzing and scenes of illusions appeared before his eyes.
He saw himself returning to Earth, living an ordinary life; he also saw himself overcoming all obstacles in the world of immortal cultivation, ultimately becoming a supreme being; he even saw his child with Beili, the three of them living happily together...
These illusions are so real, so tempting, as if they are within reach.
Xiao Bei felt his consciousness becoming blurred, as if he was about to sink into this illusory beauty.
"No! This is an illusion!" He bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the intense pain woke him up.
He looked at Beili beside him and found that she was also trapped in the illusion, with a happy smile on her face.
Xiao Bei's heart tightened, he knew he had to break this illusion as soon as possible.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the runes to see if he could find a way to crack them.
However, the moment his fingers touched the rune, a powerful suction force came over him, and the immortal power in his body began to dissipate uncontrollably...
"This..." Xiao Bei's face changed.
Xiao Bei felt that his immortal power was pouring out like a flood, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"This thing actually absorbs immortal energy! It's even more cruel than a vampire!" He complained, but did not dare to be careless at all.
If this continues, he will be turned into a corpse without the enemy having to do anything.
Bei Li, who was standing by, also noticed something strange about Xiao Bei and woke up from the illusion.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly, even worse than if you had eaten expired spiritual fruit!" She asked worriedly, reaching out to touch Xiao Bei, but he pulled her back.
"Don't come over! This thing is very evil and can absorb the immortal power!" Xiao Bei hurriedly stopped her, fearing that she would be affected as well.
At this moment, nearly 30% of the immortal power in his body had been lost, and an unprecedented feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
The air around him became even heavier, making it hard to breathe.
Just when Xiao Bei was at a loss, the little spirit bird that had been napping on his shoulder suddenly flapped its wings and flew up, circling around the rune formation several times, making crisp chirping sounds.
"Chirp chirp... Stupid master... Don't confront me head-on..."
Xiao Bei was stunned. This little guy was actually talking to him?
Although I have been able to sense the intelligence of the little spirit bird before, this is the first time I have seen it express its meaning so clearly.
"Can you understand the meaning of these runes?"
The little bird proudly raised its head and drew a graceful arc in the air.
"Jiji... I don't understand... I feel... I feel..."
"Feeling?" Xiao Bei frowned. What this little guy said was confusing and incomprehensible.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
The little spirit bird landed in front of Xiao Bei and pecked his forehead with its tiny beak.
"Jijiji... idiot... don't crack it... find the weakness..."
Give up cracking and look for weaknesses?
Xiao Bei's mind moved. This little guy's hint might be the key to breaking the deadlock!
He carefully observed the rune formation and no longer tried to crack it. Instead, he followed the guidance of the little spirit bird and looked for the weak points of the formation.
"Here... seems a little different..." Xiao Bei pointed to a tiny crack on the edge of the formation, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
The little spirit bird circled excitedly above his head, chirping non-stop, as if encouraging him.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath, concentrated the remaining immortal power at his fingertips, and slowly stretched them towards the crack.
At this moment, Beili suddenly said: "Wait!"
Xiao Bei's finger stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Bei Li in confusion: "What's wrong, wife? Is there a problem?"
Bei Li pointed at the crack with a serious expression: "Husband, do you think this crack is... a little too obvious? Could it be a trap?"
Xiao Bei was stunned, and after a closer look, it was true!
Although the crack is tiny, it is particularly eye-catching under the flickering rune light around it, as if it was left there deliberately to lure people into the trap.
"Oh my god, I almost got tricked! You are worthy of being my wife, with sharp eyes and golden pupils!" Xiao Bei hugged Bei Li into his arms and kissed her hard.
The little spirit bird also chirped, as if agreeing with Beili's judgment.
"Then what should we do now?" Xiao Bei asked.
"Since this is a trap, let's use it to our advantage!" Bei Li said, "Husband, inject your immortal power into the crack, but don't inject all of it. Leave some..."
Beili whispered a few words into Xiao Bei's ear.
Xiao Bei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Brilliant! Honey, your trick is absolutely amazing! You are worthy of being my military advisor!"
Following Bei Li's plan, Xiao Bei injected part of his immortal power into the crack, and at the same time secretly practiced another set of exercises to condense the remaining immortal power into an invisible barrier to protect himself and Bei Li.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the rune formation shone brightly, and a powerful suction force came from the crack, madly devouring the immortal power injected by Xiao Bei.
"It's now!"
Xiao Bei shouted loudly and used the powerful magic "Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Art" that he had prepared long ago.
Purple lightning gushed out from his hands like dancing dragons, slamming heavily into the rune formation.
"Crack!"
Cracks appeared on the rune formation, and eventually it shattered with a loud bang, and the dangerous aura around it dissipated.
"It's done!" Xiao Bei waved his fist excitedly. This move simply wowed the whole audience!
Bei Li hugged Xiao Bei excitedly, her eyes full of admiration: "Husband, you are so awesome!"
Xiao Bei felt Bei Li's love, and his heart was filled with warmth. At the same time, he became more determined to find out the truth.
"Come on, wife, let's keep moving!"
Xiao Bei walked in the direction where the formation had been broken. He could smell a faint musty smell mixed with some unknown fragrance. This smell...
Why does it look a bit like the dried durian he has collected for many years?
The corners of his mouth twitched. Could it be that someone really eats durian in the fairyland?
This is too heavy!
After walking a few steps, Xiao Bei stopped.
"Wait..." He pointed to a seemingly ordinary stone wall in front of him, on which an almost imperceptible crack was faintly visible.
"Wife, do you think there's something wrong with this stone?"
Bei Li circled the stone wall twice, stroking his chin, looking like Sherlock Holmes. "Hmm... so ordinary, without any flaws. Is this the legendary return to nature?"
Xiao Bei rolled his eyes, "Wife, your analysis is the same as if you didn't say anything." He stretched out his hand and gently touched the stone wall. A faint energy fluctuation came from his fingertips.
"There is something strange indeed!" He activated his magical power and gently pushed the stone wall.
"Rumble--"
The stone wall slowly opened, revealing a dark passage leading underground.
"Oh my god, it really is a hidden cave! The design is even more advanced than my underground garage!" Xiao Bei exclaimed.
The two men entered the cave cautiously and lit a night-shining pearl. The situation inside the cave gradually became clear.
The walls are engraved with dense words and patterns, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere comes to the face.
"What...what kind of words are these?" Beili pointed at the words on the wall, looking confused.
Xiao Bei identified it carefully and said, "It seems to be ancient immortal writing. Fortunately, I have read a lot of books and understand a little bit." He coughed twice in a pretentious manner and began to decipher the words on the wall.
These texts record some descriptions of mysterious power, which seems to be an ancient prophecy, predicting that this power will come again and bring great disaster to the fairy world.
"Fuck! This plot is quite exciting!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but swear. He felt like he was playing a puzzle game, getting closer to the truth step by step.
"It seems like we've really hit upon something big this time!"
However, when Xiao Bei continued to interpret, he found that the record suddenly stopped and the remaining part seemed to have been deliberately erased.
"What's going on? He fails at the critical moment. This is more uncomfortable than watching a TV series and then having a power outage!" Xiao Bei looked depressed. He felt like he was hanging in mid-air, neither going up nor down, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
"Wife, let's go!" Xiao Bei took Bei Li's hand, his eyes flashing with determination, "The real adventure has just begun!"
In his hand, he held a black stone that he had picked up from the depths of the cave. It was cold to the touch and emitted a strange aura.
"This thing..."
