This scene stunned Zhang Ling. This bizarre transformation ability was definitely not ordinary, further convincing him that it was indeed the Rootless Lotus.
The colorful little snake moved incredibly fast, covering dozens of yards in an instant, heading towards the cave where he and the Azure Fox King had emerged.
Zhang Ling reacted instantly, transforming into a faint shadow and following closely behind.
He knew this thing probably wanted to leave this place.
Originally, this thing was hidden in the river, but the Azure Fox King alarmed the ancient beast, causing a battle to erupt, making this natural treasure sense danger in this area.
Seeing that the little snake was about to enter the cave,
Zhang Ling lightly tapped the ground, and a yellow light flashed. A yellow light screen suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. The little snake, caught off guard, crashed into it and was bounced back.
This little thing reacted extremely quickly. As soon as it landed, it burrowed into the ground, seemingly proficient in earth遁术 (earth escape technique). However, when half of its body was underground, it seemed to get stuck and bounced back again.
Zhang Ling also appeared at this moment, having used the Profound Yuan 重光 (Heavy Light) to block the little thing's earth遁 technique.
He activated a magic seal, pouring spiritual power into the Purple Gold Bottle. The treasure spun around, shooting out several golden water balls.
Then, all the water balls exploded, turning into countless golden water droplets. The black-gold light shone brightly, transforming into dense black-gold lines, forming a golden light screen within a breath, covering an area of thirty to forty yards.
The little snake also realized that burrowing underground was useless. Its body instantly turned into a colorful mist, rapidly sweeping towards another direction.
But it was too late.
Zhang Ling had already activated the Purple Gold Bottle to form a golden light screen, covering the surrounding area.
The mist transformed by this thing was immediately stuck upon hitting the light screen. Then, golden threads shot out from the golden light, firmly locking the mist.
Mist is an intangible substance, and ordinary methods cannot lock it. The Purple Gold Bottle happened to have a restraining effect on it. No matter how the mist rolled, it couldn't break free.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling revealed a happy expression, fully activating the Purple Gold Bottle, unleashing all the remaining golden liquid inside, transforming it into dense black-gold threads, all wrapped around the mist.
At the same time, this cloud of colorful mist seemed to have other transformation abilities, instantly splitting into several groups, turning into semi-transparent colored flying fish, flying around randomly.
Zhang Ling frowned slightly, using his divine sense to control countless threads, wrapping them around these flying fish, while pushing the Purple Gold Bottle, controlling the light screen to continuously shrink.
After a dozen breaths, the light screen shrank to the size of two yards, like a golden silk ball.
The trapped colorful mist inside also shrank a lot. At this moment, the mist's form changed again. The originally transformed flying fish all returned to the mist, turning dark black, transforming into a foot-sized black turtle, shrinking in mid-air and remaining still.
As the spiritual power in the light screen rapidly drained, the form of the little turtle transformed by this thing became unstable. Between the flashing colored lights, a palm-sized black lotus could be seen growing on the turtle's back.
Zhang Ling carefully examined the lotus flower. It looked somewhat illusory, and some colored light spots were swimming in the center of the lotus. He scanned his body and found that these small light spots were some millet-sized colored light fish, swimming vividly, conveying amazing spiritual power.
Is this the Rootless Lotus? He marveled at this bizarre form.
After a while, the transformed turtle form could no longer be maintained, and it directly turned into a thin cloud of colored mist, wrapping the black lotus.
The black lotus also shrank a little, but below it was a round yellow stone, which was the spiritual eye stone from before.
This spiritual eye stone looked very ordinary, like a pebble with an extremely smooth surface, without any spiritual patterns. However, some five-colored light spots were dotted around it.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but smile and thought to himself that this was the original form of the Rootless Lotus. He didn't expect this thing to be attached to a spiritual eye stone.
Spiritual eye spring, spiritual eye stone, and spiritual eye divine tree are all spiritual objects that accompany spiritual veins.
Only medium-grade or higher spiritual veins can give birth to this kind of spiritual eye object. Generally speaking, medium-grade spiritual veins can only give birth to one of them.
However, high-grade spiritual veins have no restrictions. Some huge high-grade spiritual veins can even give birth to five or more spiritual eye objects.
Carrying this kind of thing is equivalent to carrying a small spiritual vein with you.
It's just that ordinary people can't take this kind of thing away. Spiritual eye objects are connected to the earth's spiritual energy. Only by temporarily cutting off the earth's spiritual energy can this kind of thing be taken away.
And only Nascent Soul old monsters or some spirit-severing formations can cut off the earth's veins.
Zhang Ling thought to himself, but his movements were not slow. The golden light screen directly shrank to the extreme, wrapping the Rootless Lotus and the spiritual eye stone, turning into a golden light and collecting them into the Purple Gold Bottle.
He couldn't help but smile. The Purple Gold Bottle was specially refined by the Azure Fox King, and it easily collected these two natural treasures.
Zhang Ling stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he flipped his hand, and the Two-Worlds Gourd appeared in his hand. A cloud of blue and white energy turned into several strands of silk and entered the Purple Gold Bottle, directly wrapping the Rootless Lotus and the spiritual eye stone.
The two spiritual objects were instantly pulled out and collected into the Two-Worlds Gourd.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to succeed."
Zhang Ling muttered to himself. The Two-Worlds Gourd could also collect these two spiritual objects. Especially the spiritual eye stone, which stayed inside peacefully without any abnormality. It seemed that his natal magic weapon still had many wonderful uses.
But after thinking about it, he put the Rootless Lotus and the spiritual eye stone back into the Purple Gold Bottle. Although he coveted these two spiritual objects, he suppressed this greed.
As for the spiritual eye stone, Zhang Ling couldn't be sure whether the Azure Fox King knew that the Rootless Lotus was attached to the spiritual eye stone. It would not be wise to anger this demon king because of this.
And he couldn't be sure whether the Azure Fox King would monopolize these two spiritual objects. But now there are many dangers in the Abyss, so it's better not to act rashly.
Zhang Ling smiled bitterly and put away the Purple Gold Bottle, looking at the direction the Azure Fox King left. The spiritual energy fluctuations over there were extremely chaotic, and the fighting was quite fierce. After thinking about it, he decided to go over there and take a look.
Wearing the Spirit Concealing Veil, he turned into a faint shadow again and carefully probed in that direction.
As he approached, Zhang Ling also saw some of the situation clearly. Ten miles away, the river water all flowed into a huge underground pool.
At this moment, the pool was surging with waves, raising countless water waves, and a strange thing appeared in it. The special aura he had sensed earlier was emitted by this thing.
