Lu Xuanxin was an amazing master of formations. She was tall and slender, with a beautiful face, long black hair fluttering in the wind, and her eyebrows revealed an extraordinary temperament. At this moment, she was standing on a barren mountain, surrounded by rugged rocks and withered plants, only her bright eyes flashed with wisdom.
Without using a compass, Lu Xuanxin accurately found the location of Qian by mental calculation. She rushed over quickly, her figure like a meteor, breaking through the silent open space. As expected, she found an abandoned cave, the entrance of which was covered by weeds and rubble, and it was difficult to find without careful observation.
This cave looked ordinary from the outside, as if it was a small hole carved casually by nature. However, when Lu Xuanxin approached, he could feel a deep and dark breath coming from the depths of the cave, like the big mouth of a giant beast, ready to swallow intruders at any time.
Lu Xuanxin hesitated for a moment, but soon she strengthened her faith and bravely stepped in. Her figure disappeared in the darkness, leaving only a series of light footsteps echoing in the cave.
Everyone followed her closely, taking out treasures such as night pearls to illuminate the cave. However, the cave was dark, as if it was an endless abyss that swallowed up all the light. There was nothing special, and everyone wondered why Lu Xuanxin brought them here.
"Doesn't this road lead to that valley?" a burly man asked doubtfully. His voice echoed in the cave, sounding a little eerie.
"Maybe, but if there is such a road, how could the demons not guard it?" another thin man answered, his eyes flashing with vigilance.
"Maybe the demon himself doesn't know this road?" A clear female voice sounded. She was the only female in the team. She was petite but had a firm look in her eyes.
"It's possible. I heard from Miss Lu that this place is very dangerous, but it doesn't look like anything special." said a young boy with a bit of childishness on his face.
"Yeah, it's too normal, there's no danger at all," another man agreed.
"What do you know? The more ordinary it is, the stranger it is! Everyone should be careful, look out for each other, and don't accidentally fall into the devil's cave." An elderly man reminded, his voice steady and powerful.
Everyone was talking about it, but looking around, they still felt that this cave was quite ordinary. However, Lu Xuanxin didn't care what they thought, she had already walked in alone. Feng Chen, Feng Ling, Feng Qianxun, Ah Man and other masters also hurried to follow, fearing that something might happen to her.
The cave was like a maze, winding and unfathomable. At first, everyone walked carefully, fearing that they would touch any mechanism. However, they found nothing wrong and began to speed up and fly forward. Their figures shuttled through the cave, like streams of light, cutting through the darkness.
Half an hour had passed, and they still hadn't seen the bottom. Moreover, as they went deeper, they felt the mountain shaking more and more violently, as if it was about to collapse at any time. The air in the cave also became heavier and heavier, making it difficult to breathe.
"If I die here, I won't have to become a mummy, right?" Someone joked, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. However, his laughter echoed in the cave, sounding a little weird.
"Young lady, hurry up!" The mysterious voice urged again, its voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained some kind of irresistible power. Lu Xuanxin had already tried her best, her figure shuttled quickly in the cave, like a flash of lightning.
"Grandmaster, please take me with you, quickly!" Lu Xuanxin was worried about her companions and asked Feng Qianxun for help. There was a hint of anxiety and pleading in her voice.
"Okay!" Feng Qianxun agreed without hesitation. He took Lu Xuanxin and flew faster, leaving a sentence: "You guys should catch up quickly." His figure disappeared into the darkness like a stream of light in an instant.
Feng Chen, Feng Ling, and Ah Man were not to be outdone and rushed forward at an accelerated pace. Others also showed their abilities and sped up. Soon, dozens of people were divided into three or four teams, moving quickly through the cave.
The further you go, the greater the pressure. Even a master like Feng Qianxun feels a little overwhelmed. Not to mention the heat coming from below, it's like an invisible force, oppressing everyone's nerves. Feng Qianxun's forehead is covered with fine beads of sweat. He grits his teeth and tries his best to resist the pressure.
"Young lady, what's down there?" Feng Qianxun asked as he resisted the pressure. There was a hint of panting and confusion in his voice.
"I don't know either. Since the last earthquake, I often heard that mysterious voice guiding me here. Today it was more anxious, saying that time was running out and it couldn't hold on any longer." Lu Xuanxin replied, with a bit of worry and determination in her voice.
"I guess this is where the Demon Lord is sealed, and the one who led us here might be the soul of this formation!" Feng Qianxun said with sudden enlightenment. He knew that everything has a soul, and it was not surprising that a powerful formation would give birth to a soul after years.
"So the Demon Lord was about to break the seal, and the soul of the formation asked you for help?" Feng Qianxun continued to ask.
"That should be the case." Lu Xuanxin nodded, with a determined look in her eyes.
"It looks like the Demon Lord is about to break the seal. Once he escapes, I'm afraid we'll all be doomed." Feng Qianxun sighed, his voice filled with helplessness and worry.
However, Lu Xuanxin did not give up. She silently practiced the technique, absorbing and transforming the heat. Her body was like a huge whirlpool, sucking the surrounding heat into her body and then transforming it into her own strength. As she practiced, Feng Qianxun and the others felt a lot more relaxed and their pressure was also reduced.
After walking for a while, they came to a huge hall. This hall was terrifyingly spacious, almost as big as two football fields. It was very solemn inside, with complex array patterns carved on the ground and walls. These patterns were like living dragons, winding on the walls, emitting a powerful pressure. It was dazzling to look at, and a powerful pressure came over them, making people dare not look directly at it.
The nodes of the formation were filled with huge weapons - swords, knives, halberds, spears, and everything else. These weapons all emitted a faint glow, and it was obvious at a glance that they were powerful things. They used to be great treasures, and although they now looked like ordinary iron tools and their spirituality had weakened a lot, one could still see their former glory.
In the center, there stood an exquisite sword. The sword was snow-white, with a faint chill flowing through it, like an ice sword. A purple lotus flower bloomed on the hilt, and its petals were lifelike, as if they would bloom at any time. Lu Xuanxin felt particularly close to it as soon as she saw it, as if this sword had some special connection with her.
These weapons, they have witnessed countless battles and glories. Now, they are quietly inserted here, as if guarding some important secret.
Lu Xuanxin took a quick look and knew that this was where the Demon Lord was sealed. She took a deep breath and prepared to face the next challenge.
"Young lady, you are finally here." At this time, a purple-clothed woman slowly emerged from under the sword. She had long flowing hair, a beautiful face, and a graceful figure. With a kind smile on her face, she spoke gently to Lu Xuanxin. Her voice was like the sound of nature, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Although the ground outside was shaking, it was unusually peaceful here. Only the array patterns were flashing wildly, as if they would go out at any time. However, within this calm, there was an indescribable crisis hidden.
Lu Xuanxin looked at the purple-clothed woman with some confusion and asked, "Senior, didn't you say you couldn't hold on any longer?" She remembered that the mysterious voice had said this before.
However, the woman in purple replied with a smile on her face: "Silly child, I was lying to you. If I didn't say that, how could you have come so soon?" There was a hint of kindness and teasing in her voice.
Lu Xuanxin was stunned when she heard this, and then she suddenly realized. It turned out that all this was a plan by the purple-clothed woman. She said this on purpose in order to get herself here as soon as possible. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the purple-clothed woman with some emotion and admiration.
"Senior, you have worked hard." Lu Xuanxin said sincerely. She knew that the purple-clothed woman, as the soul of the formation, had been guarding here for hundreds of years. This kind of perseverance and dedication made her feel extremely admired and grateful.
The purple-clothed woman smiled and said, "It's okay. This is my duty. Now that you are here, let's face the next challenge together." Her voice was full of determination and courage.
Lu Xuanxin nodded. She was fully aware of the responsibilities and missions she shouldered. So, she took a deep breath and prepared to meet the next challenge with the purple-clothed woman. No matter what was waiting for them ahead, they would face it bravely until the last moment.
Let me introduce myself first. My voice echoed in this empty hall with an indescribable solemnity and tenderness. "I am not some magical object in this formation, but the heart of this world." My words contain the accumulation of years and endless wisdom, as if they can penetrate time and space and touch the depths of everyone's soul.
The woman's voice was a little hurried at first, like a flower just blooming in spring, eager to show its beauty to the world, but gradually, it became soft, like the breeze in a summer afternoon, gently blowing across the heart, carrying a warm and loving breath, making people involuntarily want to get closer and seek that peace.
"The heart of the world?" Lu Xuanxin murmured to herself, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then was replaced by deep shock. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, her steps were light but a little flustered, as if she was avoiding a truth that was about to be revealed. Suddenly, her heart moved, and she thought of her own heart, the unique existence that Zi Huang called the Heart of the Stars. Could it be that there really is some mysterious and subtle connection between the two?
The Heart of the World and the Heart of the Stars, what are the similarities and differences between them? Lu Xuanxin's thoughts were like leaves blown by the wind, chaotic and complicated. She looked up at the woman who claimed to be the Heart of the World, and an indescribable sense of vigilance surged in her heart. Could this woman be trying to take my heart? This thought was like ice, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"What is your purpose in bringing us here?" Lu Xuanxin's voice was trembling slightly, and her eyes were alert, as if she was ready to deal with sudden danger at any time. If this woman really had something in mind for her, then she could only escape to the Purple Flame Lotus Secret Realm, which was the safe haven prepared by Zi Huang for her and her last resort.
"You don't have to be afraid. I have no ill intentions. I just want you to help reinforce this formation to prevent the Demon Lord from breaking through the seal and escaping." The woman's voice was soft and firm, like a clear spring in the mountains, flowing through the heart, taking away a trace of uneasiness and fear. Her eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, as if she could see through people's hearts and see through all of Lu Xuanxin's concerns and worries.
"Reinforce? How can we do that?" Lu Xuan hesitated and stepped back again. Her eyes fell on the dazzlingly complex array patterns, and she felt powerless. These patterns seemed to be the most exquisite secrets between heaven and earth, which made people daunted. Could there be some conspiracy here, deliberately leading us here, and then taking our hearts away when we let down our guard? Her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness.
"Using the blood of twelve girls, plus a drop of your own blood, perhaps the seal can be maintained for another hundred years." The woman's voice sounded again, with a hint of unquestionable determination. Although my current cultivation is not high enough, a hundred years is enough time for me to improve a lot. Her words revealed her expectations and determination for the future, as if she had seen the dawn of victory.
