As he moved, the patterns on the jade box changed. In the end, it actually made a sound as if it was about to be opened.
Seeing this, Chen Fan immediately backed up a few steps, until he was standing next to the window on the third floor.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief as the spirit energy on his body exploded. The Slaughter Sacred Artifact was already in his hand, he was obviously preparing to take action if something went wrong.
Luo Li, who was at the side, also took a few steps back. She stood still in the air and raised the jade slip in her hand, preparing to record the moment the box was opened.
"Crack!"
Under the tense gaze of the two, the jade box turned before splitting open from the middle, revealing the contents within.
What he saw in the jade box was a stone. This stone was completely black and had a circular, teardrop-shaped green pattern engraved on it.
Those teardrop-shaped patterns were emitting a faint light. The light that they had seen from the jade box earlier was emitted by this pattern.
However, although this rock looked pretty, there was no spirit energy on it and it didn't look out of the ordinary.
Chen Fan frowned as he looked at the stone, but he didn't rashly approach it. Although the stone didn't contain any spiritual energy, it was hard to say whether or not it contained danger.
That was especially true of the teardrop-shaped green pattern. Chen Fan suddenly felt a slight pang of grief in his heart, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"This rock is not bad, it's so pretty!" At this time, Luo Li put away the jade letter and descended from the sky. She placed the stone on her palm and slowly stroked it.
Seeing Luo Li picking up the stone without permission and seeing that nothing strange had happened, Chen Fan frowned and said:
"Don't you have a strange feeling when you hold this stone? "Such as feeling sad or something?"
Hearing this, Luo Li froze. She didn't know what had just happened, but she suddenly had an impulse in her heart, making her want to pick up the stone.
As he recalled carefully, he could not help but notice something strange. He immediately said, "I don't feel sad at all. It's just that I feel that this stone is attracting me!" "Wait, why can't I throw the stone away!"
As she spoke, Luo Li tried to throw the stone in her hand away, but the stone seemed to grow in her palm and she was unable to do so.
Seeing this scene, Luo Li wanted to cry, but there were no tears. She turned to Chen Fan and asked for help.
Shaking his head, he inwardly sighed at Luo Li's carelessness. Chen Fan put away his Slaughter Sacred Artifact and walked over to take a closer look.
After looking at it for a while, he realized that the stone was merely attached to Luo Li's hand. However, it did not pose any danger. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief and say:
"I told you not to touch anything. You wouldn't listen. Aren't you an Aurous Core stage expert? Let's see if you can use your Pill Fire to shatter it! "
Hearing this, Luo Li's eyes immediately lit up. A faint golden flame emerged from her palm and wrapped around the green-patterned stone.
However, no matter how she burned it, there was no change to the stone. Helpless, Luo Li could only retract the Pill Fire.
Who would have thought that the stone was stuck to her Pill Fire? It disappeared from her palm in an instant and entered her Dantian.
"This... What should he do? Chen Fan, tell me, is there any other way? This stone has entered my body. Am I going to die? "
When Luo Li saw the stone enter her dantian along with the Pill Fire and attach itself to her aurous core, she immediately cried out.
At this moment, the stone was attached to her dantian and slightly moved. In the sky above the Immeasurable Dragon Mystic Realm, countless black holes suddenly appeared in space and waves of strange astral winds appeared.
The astral winds formed a ring shape that stretched for tens of thousands of meters. It seemed as if they could tear the dome of the Sunset Dragon Mystic Realm apart. However, they were still too far away from Chen Fan and the others to notice.
Holding his forehead, Chen Fan's face was filled with black lines. Although this Luo Li was an Aurous Core stage expert, she was still a carefully nurtured flower of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
"Alright, if this stone is only going to enter your dantian and there's no change, then don't worry about it! Just wait until we get out of this secret realm, and then you can have the almighty elders from your sect come out to help you! "
After saying this, Chen Fan turned around and walked down the stairs, obviously preparing to leave the pavilion.
"Die Chen Fan! Destroy Chen Fan!" Didn't you say that you wanted me to use the Pill Fire to burn it? Otherwise, how would it enter my dantian? Now that you're ignoring me, I … I don't care. If this stone doesn't come out from my body, then I will be depending on you! "
Luo Li pouted in anger, and with an unrelenting expression, she floated in the air and tightly held onto Chen Fan's sleeve. Her face had a look of 'If you don't want me to, then I'll let you see my death.'
Speechless, he looked up at the sky and sighed. Just like that, Chen Fan brought Luo Li out of the pavilion. After looking around, he opened his mouth and said:
"Alright, I will accompany you!" However, if you find anything else here, don't touch it! "
Hearing this, Luo Li nodded her head in satisfaction and let go of Chen Fan's sleeve.
Just now, she had absorbed an unknown stone, causing her to feel some fear towards this place.
Although Chen Fan's cultivation base wasn't as high as hers, for some reason, she felt a sense of security when she was by his side.
Chen Fan looked around. Ever since he had entered, he had noticed that the area was filled with similar white jade buildings. The only difference was that the central area seemed to be an open space.
At this moment, he and Luo Li were walking towards the center. Along the way, they explored a few white jade pavilions.
However, they did not discover anything this time around. After an hour had passed, the two of them searched all the buildings in the surrounding area. Finally, they arrived at the center of the area.
The center was exactly as Chen Fan had expected. There were no buildings here, or more accurately speaking, the buildings had already collapsed.
This place had originally been a jade-like structure, but for some reason, it had turned into rubble and fallen to the ground. Within the rubble was an ancient tree that was about ten meters wide and thirty meters tall.
This ancient tree was very curved, surrounded by dragon-like branches. There were no leaves on it, and an axe was stuck into the trunk of the ancient tree.
The axe was very ordinary and it looked like a mortal axe. The handle was made of wood and it was full of cracks. The axe blade had a layer of rust on it and it looked like it was going to rot.
This was the first time Chen Fan and Meng Hao had seen such broken buildings on the platform. The rest of the buildings were in perfect condition, except for the ruins, which must be some sort of secret.
Luo Li, who was following behind Chen Fan, looked at the ancient tree and exclaimed:
"This is the Immortal Spirit Ancient Wood. I have read about it in the ancient records of Heavencraft Pavilion!" This type of tree can only be grown with celestial spiritual energy, but it is a pity that it has already withered away. Otherwise, every 10,000 years, the top will form a peach that will increase a person's cultivation by 1000 years! "
Pausing for a moment, Luo Li took out the jade chip to record this information. She extended her hand in an attempt to touch the ancient tree, but when she recalled the lesson earlier, she withdrew her hand.
Chen Fan only glanced at the ancient tree before retracting his gaze. His gaze was fixated on the rusted axe. He didn't know why, but he felt a chill in his heart when he saw the axe.
Chen Fan stretched out his hand and released a strand of spiritual energy. The strand of spiritual energy turned into a sword in midair and struck the axe blade that was covered in rust.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, a powerful force suddenly appeared from the axe, pushing Chen Fan back more than ten steps, causing him to look over in surprise.
He only saw the spiritual energy collide with the axe blade and not even a single piece of iron was swept away. The axe that looked like it was about to rot was actually so hard!
