The first volume debuts Chapter 12 Unblocked!
After returning to the room, Li Xuanfeng couldn't wait to take out the purple short stick and began to use the method he had found in Shen Hua's study this month to try to activate the purple short stick.
He first practiced cross-legged for a while to restore his spiritual power to its peak state. Then, according to the method recorded on a jade slip, he carefully controlled the spiritual power to condense at his fingertips and drew the pattern recorded in the jade slip on the short stick.
According to the records, some magic weapons were sealed by previous users, and they could only be unlocked by drawing the correct unlocking pattern with spiritual power. Unfortunately, Li Xuanfeng tried all the dozens of unlocking patterns recorded in the jade slips, but the purple short stick still had no reaction.
Gritting his teeth, Li Xuanfeng once again sat cross-legged to practice and replenish the spiritual power he had consumed. Then, according to a primary spiritual fire technique recorded in a jade slip, he made a special seal with both hands, mobilized the fire attribute spiritual power in his body, and condensed it in his right palm. After trying three times, he finally condensed the spiritual fire.
After placing the purple short stick on the spiritual fire for half an incense stick of time, Li Xuanfeng was already sweating profusely and had to stop the technique, panting. The spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted.
The short stick still did not change at all, except that the temperature on the surface rose a little, and even the color did not change at all. There was no sign of being burned by the spiritual fire.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. According to the description in the jade slip, the temperature of this spiritual fire was higher than that of ordinary flames, but there was no sign of the short stick burning red, which made Li Xuanfeng more and more curious about the material of the short stick.
Li Xuanfeng had no choice but to sit cross-legged again to absorb spiritual power. Although his spiritual power was severely depleted each time he tried to unblock it, his spiritual power improved significantly without him noticing as he absorbed the replenishment.
After recovering his spiritual power, Li Xuanfeng was silent for a while, with unusual determination and ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.
He took out a small knife from the storage bag and cut his wrist without hesitation. Bright red blood flowed out, and he carefully let all the blood drip onto the purple short stick.
The bleeding did not stop until the wound on the wrist healed a little and stopped bleeding. After practicing, the body's recovery ability has also been greatly enhanced. If it was before practicing, the wound would have to be bandaged to stop the bleeding.
This was a blood sacrifice method recorded in a jade slip. Li Xuanfeng ignored the wound on his wrist and made a complicated handprint to input spiritual power into the purple short stick. Unfortunately, there was no change until the blood on the short stick solidified. Li Xuanfeng had to give up with a sigh. If a blood sacrifice could be performed, the blood on the surface would be absorbed.
I went out to the pool and cleaned the blood on the short stick. I stroked the lines on the short stick and suddenly found that I seemed to have seen similar lines in other places, but I couldn't remember them for a while. I returned to the room and closed my eyes while absorbing spiritual energy, recalling the books and jade slips I had read in the master's study, looking for other ways to unlock the seal.
A light bulb suddenly lit up in my mind, and I remembered that there was a special sealing method that required finding the key to unlock it. However, finding the key was like finding a needle in a haystack, so I didn't pay much attention to this method at the time. Then I thought again, when I was cleaning the short stick just now, I felt that the pattern on the stick seemed to have been seen somewhere before. Where was it?
Suddenly, Li Xuanfeng, who was thinking with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly. With a gleam of light in his eyes, he took out the metal piece with the Liejin Jue recorded on it from his storage bag.
There are some patterns on the metal sheet. Previously, I only paid attention to the skills recorded in the metal sheet and did not look closely at the pattern on the surface. Now, when I compare it with the patterns on the short stick, I find that there are many similarities. Could this metal sheet be the key to unlock the seal of the short stick?
Li Xuanfeng carefully compared the similarities between the patterns on the metal sheet and the short stick, and found that many of the patterns were the same, so they looked similar. So he concentrated his spiritual power on the metal sheet and drew the same patterns on the short stick one by one. When the last stroke was completed, the metal sheet disappeared from Li Xuanfeng's hand as if it melted, and was actually absorbed by the short stick!
Surprised Li Xuanfeng knew that he had finally guessed right. He saw that the purple color on the short stick became deeper. In a flash of purple light, Li Xuanfeng once again felt the distorted feeling as if the world was spinning around him when he was sitting in a teleportation array. When he adapted again, he found that he was already in another space.
This space has mountains, water, sky, clouds, flowers, plants and trees, but strangely, this space is extremely quiet. Li Xuanfeng carefully observed and found that there is no animal life in this space. Although there is water, there are no fish; although there are mountains, there are no birds or beasts. The highest level of life is these plants.
In the center of this space there is a huge nine-story tower. The treasure pavilion of Xuanling Sect is less than one-fifth of this tower. The carvings and patterns on the attic are full of vicissitudes of life, which are things that Li Xuanfeng has never seen in the numerous books and jade slips he has checked. It is unknown how long it has existed.
Before Li Xuanfeng could continue observing, a disheveled man suddenly flew out from the woods, shouting excitedly: "Five thousand years, five thousand years, someone finally broke the seal. If no one breaks the seal, I'm afraid I'll go crazy..."
Li Xuanfeng was shocked when he saw the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, and hurriedly tried to gather his spiritual power to be alert.
But suddenly he found that he could not feel the spiritual power in his body. When he looked down, he found that his body was completely transparent!
The middle-aged man seemed to see what Li Xuanfeng was thinking and explained.
"Boy, now only your consciousness has been pulled into this purple annihilation space by me, and your body is still in the outside world. You can't mobilize your spiritual power!"
Li Xuanfeng felt the current state again, combined with the middle-aged man's explanation, he had no choice but to believe it. Now he could only see the scene and thoughts of this space, but he could not move at all, as if there was only one head entering this place!
“I am a cultivator from ancient times, revered as the Venerable of the Five Elements. In order to avoid the catastrophe, I sealed myself in this Purple Destruction Stick. I didn’t expect that after five thousand years, no one could break the seal. There is no spiritual energy or living creatures in this space, and I was almost driven crazy.” Seeing that Li Xuanfeng was full of confusion, the middle-aged man began to introduce himself to him.
"Then why don't you break the seal yourself and get out? Since you set the seal yourself, there should be a way to break it." Li Xuanfeng asked doubtfully.
"My body perished in the catastrophe that year, and I was lucky enough to leave behind this wisp of soul by using the method of self-sealing. After sealing this space, I cannot obtain spiritual power from the outside world, and my spiritual power was quickly consumed. This wisp of soul alone is not enough to unlock the seal." The Five Elements Venerable sighed helplessly.
"Then what was your cultivation level back then?" Listening to the middle-aged man's description, it didn't seem simple, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but ask in surprise.
“I am not talented, and my cultivation level is only the third level.” The words of the Five Elements Venerable seemed humble, but there was pride in his voice.
Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes. His master Shen Hua was only at the peak of the first realm, not yet at the second realm, and he was at the third realm and still said he was untalented...
"Then if you can let me know about my training, I can become a strong man as soon as possible and eradicate the Corpse Demon Cult!"
Hearing that Venerable Five Elements was a great being of the third realm, Li Xuanfeng seemed to see a way to become stronger faster, and asked Venerable Five Elements with anticipation in his eyes.
“I can guide you in your practice and help you become a strong man as quickly as possible, but I also have conditions.” The Five Elements Venerable said calmly.
"What conditions?" Li Xuanfeng knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. If the Five Elements Venerable had no conditions, it would make him suspicious.
"Now I only have a wisp of soul left, and it is extremely difficult to recover my cultivation. I need you to find my enemy in the future and help me take revenge. That is an ancient powerful being who can cause my death. Do you dare to agree?" The Five Elements Venerable asked with a sharp voice.
Li Xuanfeng was silent. Although the Five Elements Venerable had no expression on his face, a hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of his pupils. He did not expect that the junior who unsealed the Purple Destruction Stick would be so easily frightened that he dared not respond.
"Why not!" Li Xuanfeng, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head, and the determination in his eyes seemed to condense into substance: "As long as you guide me to cultivate and become a strong man to destroy the Corpse Demon Sect, what's wrong with helping you to take revenge!"
Venerable Five Elements couldn't help but look at Li Xuanfeng twice more. He thought that he was frightened by the ancient mighty and didn't dare to agree. He didn't expect that his answer was so firm. It seemed that there was another reason for his silence.
Li Xuanfeng was silent for a reason. He was thinking whether what the Five Elements Venerable said was credible. He didn't dare to easily believe that a middle-aged man who claimed to be an ancient great power suddenly appeared in front of a 12-year-old boy who had just started practicing. But thinking about himself, an orphan whose village was massacred, he had no value to use at all. Moreover, with the strength of the Five Elements Venerable, there was no need to spend time deceiving Li Xuanfeng.
And if what the Five Elements Venerable said was true, as long as he could avenge his relatives and villagers, Li Xuanfeng would not hesitate to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, even if it meant dying!
