Chapter 1648 Obtaining precious stones, time is ruthless

There is something beneath the sea of ​​fog.

At the moment when the thick fog was cut, Chen Qingyuan looked closely and saw it very clearly.

a rock!

The purple oval boulder stood upright, about ten feet high.

The material of this stone should be Zilan Fairy Crystal, one of the ten great precious stones in ancient times. Its value is self-evident.

Chen Qingyuan had only seen such a large piece of Zi Lan Fairy Crystal in Tianshu Tower. It was truly a miracle.

Even the Immortal Ancient Clan could not take it out. The items in the clan treasury were at most the size of a fist, and they were very rare.

"There seems to be something inside the Zilan Stone."

Chen Qingyuan made other discoveries during his quick glance just now. He looked solemn and muttered to himself.

The spiritual energy in this area is very chaotic, and it is very likely caused by this stone. To be more precise, it is the unknown object inside the stone.

Driven by curiosity, Chen Qingyuan decided to figure out the situation, otherwise he would feel itchy and uncomfortable.

In addition, such a large piece of Zilan Immortal Crystal is rare in the world. If it can be obtained, it will definitely be enough to repair those damaged Ultimate Dao Soldiers. Maybe it can also extract a small amount of Jingshi Lingmian, which will play a big role in the recovery of Zijun Sword.

He hadn't sensed any dangerous aura for the time being, so Chen Qingyuan planned to use all his strength to get out the piece of Zi Lan Fairy Crystal below so that he could study it carefully.

"Shh-"

He did it right away. He grabbed the sea of ​​fog below with both hands and began to tear it apart with force, as if he wanted to tear the world in half.

Powerful pressure surged out from Chen Qingyuan's body, wreaking havoc on this world, causing billowing winds and waves, violently swirling fog, and the void trembling and distorting.

"Open it for me!"

Chen Qingyuan's eyes were sharp and he shouted sternly.

Mobilize the power of the Tao body and continuously increase strength.

The sea of ​​fog beneath him was torn open, forming a crack that spread over tens of thousands of miles. Thick fog rolled and the laws of nature were disrupted.

A ten-foot-high Zilan Immortal Crystal suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"rise!"

Without observing the situation inside the fairy crystal for the time being, he controlled the crack with one hand to prevent it from healing instantly, and reached out to the stone with the other hand, lifting it with all his strength.

"Boom"

After a turbulence, the space where the Zilan Immortal Crystal was located exploded directly, and a huge black abyss cave appeared, which looked like it could swallow several stars.

The Zi Lan Immortal Crystal broke free from the seal of the fog sea's rules, and Chen Qingyuan immediately let go, allowing the crack to recover on its own.

Then, he flashed to the location of the fairy crystal and observed it closely.

In the void at the top of the sea of ​​fog, Chen Qingyuan was only a few meters away from the huge precious stone, and the detailed patterns on the surface of the stone could be seen clearly.

The eyes penetrated the outer layer and saw the scene inside.

"Corpse!"

Chen Qingyuan's pupils trembled slightly, showing surprise and shock.

A female corpse was sealed inside the stone. She was wearing a cloud-patterned brocade skirt and was in a meditative posture.

Her skin was dry and yellow, like a dead tree without moisture and vitality, and full of death. Her hair was black and white, with a wooden hairpin inserted in it.

You can't get the full picture with just a few glances.

Seeing the corpse, Chen Qingyuan became more interested. He raised his right hand and gently touched the Zi Lan Fairy Crystal to see if he could open it and take out the corpse.

Find a way to open the Zi Lan Fairy Crystal without destroying its spiritual charm, otherwise it will be a loss.

After checking for a while, he found a crack on the surface of the fairy crystal that was invisible to the naked eye. Chen Qingyuan was slightly shocked and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"call out"

Without hesitation, he condensed an invisible thread at his fingertips and probed into the crack on the surface of the stone.

The silk thread penetrated into the crack and touched an invisible sealing barrier, which must be the power of ancient prohibition.

"Self-seal?"

Chen Qingyuan determined this through the slight fluctuation of the forbidden power.

This invisible barrier was created from the inside out.

This shows that the body was not imprisoned by others, but was an independent act during its lifetime.

With a "bang", the forbidden barrier that had lasted for a long time had little power left. Chen Qingyuan controlled the thread of law, pierced it, and then it shattered.

With a little force, the Zilan Immortal Crystal was opened.

The moment she came into contact with the laws of the outside world, the female corpse, whose appearance was still intact, had her clothes turned into nothingness, and her body turned into bones, without a single piece of flesh and blood left.

"Time is too long, and entering the world means decay."

Chen Qingyuan was not surprised by what was happening before his eyes. He thought it was a normal phenomenon.

“I don’t know where it came from.”

Even if Chen Qingyuan was knowledgeable, it would be difficult for him to know his identity just by looking at the wreckage.

"She probably wanted to use the precious stone as her foundation, seal herself off, avoid the laws of time, and live a new life. Unfortunately, she failed."

The realm of enlightenment has its own rules and order. Planning and making plans here may be easier than in the outside world.

As a sign of respect, Chen Qingyuan sent the corpse under the sea of ​​fog, where it drifted into the depths and rested forever.

As for this precious stone, it naturally became Chen Qingyuan's possession and could not be abandoned.

There should be many cases similar to the female corpse. But there are only a handful of successful people. For example: the white-haired woman who created the era of the three emperors, Situ Lin who created the nine volumes of the heavenly book, the medicine lady who used her own soul to enter the Taoist instrument, and the treacherous Peach Blossom Fairy.

People like Sword God Li Jinzhou live their lives as chess pieces. It's not their own ability, so it's better not to mention it.

"Time is merciless, alas!"

After sighing for a moment, Chen Qingyuan turned around and went somewhere else.

He took out a pot of wine, took a few gulps, and suppressed the depression in his heart.

Stepping on the sea of ​​fog, heading towards the distance, without any specific destination.

A month later, he found a holy medicine of fairly good quality growing in a ruin. At the same time, adhering to his good character of never wasting anything, he absorbed the pure spiritual energy of the ruins into his body without leaving any trace.

Although precious stones and precious materials have been obtained recently, it still requires the intervention of a top-level equipment refiner to restore the damaged Taoist weapons to their original state.

Chen Qingyuan had some knowledge of weapon refining, but he was not an expert at it. There was no need for him to mess around with it himself, as it would waste time and materials, and might even cause further damage to his weapons, which would not be worth the effort.

"Your honor!"

While searching for opportunities, Chen Qingyuan noticed that the laws of the void around him were fluctuating. Then, a calling voice sounded in his ears.

The voice was familiar, and after a little thought, I knew who it was.

Chen Qingyuan stopped walking, turned slowly, and saw a black dot in the distance, approaching quickly.

After a while, the man appeared in front of Chen Qingyuan, his face full of excitement. He straightened his clothes, bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty."

This person was wearing a light grey garment, his face was full of wrinkles, showing the vicissitudes of life and bitterness. He was short and looked like a dwarf.

His name is Zhao Jianghe.
