“Anyway, I don’t think we will be able to go to the bottom layer where the seal is this time!” Zixia Fairy shook her head, wearing a very serious face.
She looked at the bizarre sea and said in a deep voice, “This Array is based on the heaven and earth’s energy. It looks like a checkerboard with the dotting stones as the pieces. Each piece represents a certain position. Among all the pieces, there is only one that can take us to the other side!”
Hearing this, the cultivators behind exclaimed, “What?”
“If what you say is true, then with the moving stones, the Array could change itself any minute!”
“Then…how can we pa.s.s it?” The cultivators became very desperate.
The spell’s power was beyond their comprehension. Even Xu Que had no idea how to break it. Xu Que’s face got very serious.
Judging by this, the Array is probably superior to an Ancient Ominous. I don’t think I can break it with my King of Tough-Acting Fist.
“It seems that we have to find another way!”
The cultivators shook their heads. In fact, they really wanted to stick to the path, since they had overcome many difficulties to get here. Now they had not even found the Fate, not to mention an ordinary Spiritual Herb. They did not want to go back empty-handed.
As for Xu Que, he did not mind taking another path, since he did not care about finding the Fate. He only wanted to find out what Zixia Fairy intended to do and stop her from destroying the seal of the Five Elements Mountain.
Suddenly, Zixia Fairy said, “Joker, I want to give it a try! Don’t move and wait here!” Then she gently tiptoed out and flew upward like a fairy.
“Wait!” Xu Que shouted abruptly.
He was too late, since Zixia Fairy was almost about to land on a moving black round stone. She landed on it gently, but even so, the stone sank a bit and caused a series of ripples. The ripples changed the moving tracks of other stones, and more ripples appeared. At last, the already complex checkerboard become even more complex.
Even a person who knew everything about the game would have had no idea what was going on.
Suddenly, a little cracking sound commenced, as if something was going to come out. Zixia quickly jumped back.
Bang! A heavy metal sound erupted. A long, rusty iron rope suddenly appeared out of the water and locked on her feet. Then she was harshly pulled back.
Bang!
Great waves tumbled across the sea. All the black-and-white round stones were moving up and down; the entire sea began to spread in all directions.
“For G.o.d’s sake, the Array has been activated.”
“She is in really bad luck. I never thought she could accidently activate the Array just like this!”
“Back off, or we will be devoured by the sea!”
The cultivators began to run in the other direction.
At the same time, Zixia Fairy, who was tied tightly on the black round stone, was losing her energy, as well as her vitality, by the very minute. She looked very desperate, but she still shouted to Xu Que, “Joker! Run away! Leave here now!”
Screw the Array! It must be even more powerful than an Ancient Ominous. I don’t think I can find any way in the System to break the Array!”
Normally, Xu Que would run away under such circ.u.mstances, but he would not be able to forgive himself if he ran away like this, leaving Zixia Fairy behind. Xu Que raised his head and saw her face had turned completely pale and rather scary. Obviously, her body was almost full of the Lifeless Qi….
“I have to take a risk to save her by using the Divine Tracking Emblem.” Xu Que tightly clenched his teeth and was about to go forward to rescue Zixia Fairy.
Bang!
Xu Que turned around and was shocked by what he saw. The road behind him had been devoured by the darkness. The darkness looked very bizarre, just like the darkness in the void, and was rather similar to the color of the black round stone.
“c.r.a.p!” Xu Que cursed.
It is even more scary than the moving round stones!
Xu Que hurriedly flew upward without any hesitation toward Zixia.
“Joker, don’t come, it’s very dangerous!”
She had no idea the road they had taken earlier had been destroyed and got very anxious when she saw Xu Que flying toward her. Her face was twisted; clearly, she was suffering a lot. Being devoured by the Lifeless Qi seemed very painful.
“I won’t leave you here!” Xu Que said firmly. “I am not a man who is afraid of death. If I leave you here, I would be ashamed of myself and could never call myself a man!” He grasped Zixia Fairy’s hand and activated the Divine Tracking Emblem at the same time. The Divine Tracking Emblem burnt out, but he and Zixia were still there.
I am doomed, the Divine Tracking Emblem does not work here!
“Joker, leave now!” Zixia said with all her strength.
Xi Que forced out a smile.
For G.o.d’s sake, the road has already been destroyed, I cannot get out of this place!
The Lifeless Qi was about to invade his body. Xu Que clenched his teeth and jumped to the white round stone right next to Zixia. As soon as he landed, a long, rusty iron rope came out and tied him.
“Joker…” Zixia Fairy was stunned when she saw that Xu Que had also gotten stuck, “in fact, I can…”
Before she finished her words, she began to spit out blood. Her blood was quickly absorbed by the stone, and her face got even more pale.
“Zixia, are you all right?” Xu Que was frightened.
This Array is really scary. Even Zixia Fairy cannot get out.
“What?!”
Why am I not invaded by the Lifeless Qi? What is going on?
He looked down and was stunned. A huge amount of energy was erupting out from the iron rope and the energy was rus.h.i.+ng into his body.
“So, the white round stone is giving me all the energy that the black round stone extracted from her?” Xu Que was shocked.
“No, this is not right.” He used his divine strength to find out the origin of the energy. After a while, he found it! It was a pool of energy that was as significant as an endless starry sky. A cultivator like Zixia Fairy who was in the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage, could not have such a powerful energy.
Obviously, this energy did not belong to Zixia, rather, it must belong to a creature living beneath the sea.
“How frightening this is, if anyone has got energy like this, he must have lived as long as tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years!” Xu Que was shocked.
But soon, his face began to look pale too. His body could not take this much energy.
His body was already full of energy and, if he continued to allow the energy to get into his body, he would explode.
“c.r.a.p! This is no better than dying from an invasion of the Lifeless Qi!”
But why on earth would there be this amount of energy inside an Array full of Lifeless Qi? Why would I happen to find it?
I see! There are countless Arrays in this world, and among the most powerful and intricate ones, there must be the Life Door and the Death Door!
Zixia just happened to step on the Death Door, and I happened to step onto the Life Door, right next to her?! Is it because I am extremely lucky? But this does not make any sense. Can it be possible that this is because of the Red Rope of Marriage?
Thinking of this, Xu Que was so surprised that his eyes flew wide open.
“Zixia, don’t be afraid, I have come to save you!” Xu Que said, while holding her hands and transmitting energy to her. In just a few seconds, the Lifeless Qi in her body was almost cleared away. Zixia, who had already pa.s.sed out, slowly began to open her eyes. Then she looked at Xu Que with great surprise and exclaimed, “Joker, what are you doing? Stop! Otherwise, you will die!”
“No!” Xu Que smiled and stared at her with a lot of emotion, “As long as I can save you, I will do it, even if it would cost my life!”
