In the horrified gazes of many cultivators, countless waves swept in, striking the white mist formation.
The ground beneath their feet shook violently, accompanied by a thunderous roar, and countless cracks appeared.
The white mist shield protecting this place from the outside was also in imminent danger, obviously unable to hold on.
Zhang Ling's face was pale. He cast several defensive spiritual charms on himself, but seeing this situation, he had no confidence in his own defense.
In the blink of an eye, the water rushed into the formation. This water carried immense power. Being in it made even self-detonation difficult.
...
In a dark and lightless place, with a loud "bang," a fist-sized moonstone floated out of a small hole.
Then, a cracking sound came from the small hole, and a figure walked out from it. This was a natural stone cave, surrounded by gray-black rocks.
Zhang Ling looked at the surrounding environment. At this moment, he was drenched, with a look of relief on his face, as if he had survived a disaster.
He was now in an underground tunnel. The rocks on both sides appeared to be naturally formed, but the ground was paved with gray-white boulders, showing traces of artificial excavation.
The stone passages on both the left and right sides were pitch black, with no end in sight. Zhang Ling released his spiritual sense to investigate.
However, both sides of the tunnel were very long, and he could not reach the end of either.
The changes in the pool not long ago were definitely unusual. He did not know where he was now, but they had been swept away by the water, so they had to find a way out first.
Holding up the moonstone, he walked forward along the tunnel. Before long, he discovered that he was walking downwards.
The tunnel still had no end in sight.
Zhang Ling stopped, his face gloomy. He reached into his chest, took out a yellow spiritual talisman, and then injected spiritual power into it.
After a few breaths, the talisman transformed into a translucent yellow bead in a burst of light.
This was his talisman treasure, the "Yellow Pearl"(黄明珠: Yellow Pearl). With this treasure, he could use earth escaping technique. Then, holding the pearl, yellow light flowed around him a few times.
Zhang Ling leaned against the rock wall next to him, and his figure flashed and merged into the rock wall, disappearing without a trace.
The entire underground passage became pitch black again.
...
On the shore of the original Green Moon Pool, the water was gradually calming down at this moment.
However, the Demon Sealing Stone that originally stood in the center of the pool had disappeared, and a huge vortex had appeared. The water volume was being swallowed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Ding Ling Ling!
A clear ringing of bells sounded, and the group of white-clothed cultivators appeared by the pool. The red umbrella youth at the head first looked at the situation of the Green Moon Pool, then whispered something, and then he looked up at the full moon in the night sky.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and the bright moon hung high. Only the sound of water could be heard on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, after most of the water in the Green Moon Pool had dropped, a strange thing happened.
A layer of thin mist floated out of the Green Moon Pool. As soon as this mist appeared, the temperature dropped sharply, and the sound of water disappeared in a few breaths.
The entire Clear Moon Pool was also turning into an ice lake at an extremely fast speed.
"Has the time come?"
The red umbrella youth, who had been looking at the full moon in the sky, suddenly said this softly at this time, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or asking others.
However, none of the white-clothed people carrying the bronze coffin spoke, and only the occasional sound of copper bells could be heard.
"Six hundred years, my Yan family has finally had a chance to turn over." A gloomy voice sounded.
A crack suddenly appeared in the ice on the pool, and a gray shadow flashed, and a person stood in the air, glancing in the direction of the red umbrella youth.
"Third Uncle, is the Ghost King's Tomb really below?"
"Hehe, that's right, I have already checked it. There is a very large Yin Water River below, which is exactly the same as recorded in the classics. This place is very likely to be the secret place of the ancient Ghost King Sect."
The gray-clothed man's spiritual light scattered, and he was a hunchbacked hemp-clothed old man. The old man's messy red hair was very eye-catching.
However, the old man was standing in the air, obviously also a high-level cultivator. The old man looked up at the full moon in the sky while talking to the young man.
"Little Ten, it's almost time, take out that treasure."
The red umbrella youth nodded when he heard this. Then he closed the red umbrella in his hand and threw it aside.
When the red umbrella flew one zhang(丈: a unit of length) away from the young man, it suddenly stopped in the air, and then it opened by itself with a snap, floating in the air and spinning around.
Hee hee...woo woo!
A burst of baby laughter and crying came from under the red umbrella, the sound was loud and strange. As the red umbrella turned, five small figures could be vaguely seen gathering below.
These figures were only three or four years old, all with pale faces, but strangely, they laughed and played around as if no one else was there.
The young man ignored these, but his body flashed with spiritual light, and then his face showed pain as he pinched his fingers and cast a spell. A large amount of Yin energy emerged from his body, and its degree was at least equivalent to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
The Yin energy on this person's body shrank and expanded, lasting for a full stick of incense, and then a gray-green thing condensed in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, it was actually a jade seal, but the images carved on it were ferocious ghosts with blue faces and fangs.
This was a "Ghost Seal"(鬼玺: Ghost Seal).
The Yin energy on the young man's body dissipated. Seeing the Ghost Seal appear, his face became paler. Then he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of essence blood, wrapping the Ghost Seal in it.
Immediately, the Ghost Seal shook for a while, and countless ghost phantoms flew out of it. Just looking at it made people's scalp tingle and dare not look directly at it.
In the blink of an eye, the ghost phantoms devoured the young man's essence blood. Forming a scene of countless ghosts vying to devour each other.
The young man's hands also quickly changed the magic, and mysterious incantations came out of his mouth.
Hearing these incantations, the countless ghosts surrounding the Ghost Seal suddenly stopped moving, each with a look of horror.
The young man's magic hit the Ghost Seal, and this treasure trembled a few times, sucking all the ghosts into it, and the Ghost Seal also turned scarlet, and the ghost phantoms on it continued to change.
"Go."
The young man shouted in a low voice, and the Ghost Seal flashed and floated to the center of the Green Moon Pool, fixed in mid-air and rotating.
Before long, it formed a gray-green halo of several zhang(丈: a unit of length) in size.
"Okay, Little Ten, leave the rest to me."
The hunchbacked old man, who had been watching the young man's movements, flashed to the Ghost Seal when he saw this.
Holding the ball of light with one hand, he condensed spiritual power on his body and continuously injected it into it. The ball of light did not become larger or smaller, but gradually turned blood red.
Until it completely turned into a blood-colored ball of light, the old man shouted loudly and flew with the ball of light to a height of several tens of zhang(丈: a unit of length).
Then the old man waved his hand and a bronze ghost mask appeared and flashed on his face, and then the old man began to cast a spell.
The aura belonging to the Golden Core powerhouse on his body burst out instantly. One after another powerful spiritual power was injected into the blood-colored ball of light.
Looking up at the sky from below, it was like a strange double moon scene with one white and one red appearing in the night sky.
A quarter of an hour later, a powerful spiritual pressure condensed on the red ball of light, and then a buzzing sound shot out a blood-colored beam of light seven or eight zhang(丈: a unit of length) wide, densely covered with countless mysterious runes.
The beam of light flashed, like a ladder connecting the sky and the earth, one end straight into the sky and the other straight into the ground. With a loud bang, a large hole was made in the ice lake below.
