Wang Yu
Chapter 36: Stealing the Beams and Pillars
The hall was not large, only twenty to thirty zhang in size. In the center stood a thick white jade pillar, engraved with countless runes. Soft yellow light emanated from the top of the pillar, forming an inverted bowl-shaped yellow light screen, enveloping a certain area. Within, a dozen or so stone cabinets glowing with red light could be vaguely discerned, but the items placed inside were unclear, giving it a mysterious air.
The figure stood still, not moving forward, carefully observing the yellow light screen before them, with faint blue light appearing in their eyes.
After a moment, they waved their hand, and dozens of black lights shot out. These were black array flags, scattered strategically around the yellow shield. Then, with a hand gesture, beams of black light flew out from the surrounding array flags, connecting in mid-air to form a larger hemispherical light screen of light black color, enveloping the entire yellow light shield below.
The yellow light shield originally occupied nearly half of the hall's space, and the light black light screen nearly filled the entire hall.
The figure opened their mouth and spat out a breath of green gas, landing on the yellow light shield, attempting to break open a hole as before.
Unexpectedly, as the green gas barely corroded a palm-sized hole, the surface of the light shield immediately shone brightly. Countless yellow rays of light appeared out of nowhere, actually enveloping the mass of green gas.
At the same time, the rune patterns on the white jade pillar at the center of the light shield suddenly lit up.
The surface of the yellow light shield intensified, and countless dazzling thin yellow light strands emerged, entangling the mass of green gas and then fiercely constricted.
The green gas was instantly cut into countless pieces and scattered, while the yellow light quickly dissipated, and the hole that had appeared earlier healed as before.
The figure remained unmoved upon seeing this scene, seemingly unsurprised. Their gaze remained fixed on the white jade pillar for a long time, then they flipped their hand and took out more than a dozen array flags of various colors.
With a wave of their hand, all the array flags floated in mid-air, arranged in a strange oval array. It looked chaotic, yet contained hidden mysteries.
As the figure rapidly made hand gestures, black light flickered in their hand.
The dozen or so array flags also emitted various colors of light, like javelins, striking the yellow light shield, drilling inwards like nails, forming an area about ten zhang in size.
The surface of the yellow light shield flickered wildly, slowing down the array flags' advance, and at the same time, a fairly strong fluctuation of magical power emanated, but as soon as these fluctuations touched the outer light black light screen, they disappeared like mud entering the sea, without spreading outside at all.
As an obscure incantation came from the figure’s mouth, the light on the surface of the dozen or so array flags intensified, and their speed increased, finally embedding themselves completely into the light shield.
In the next moment, the yellow light on the surface of the ten zhang area covered by the array flags quickly dimmed.
The figure immediately opened their mouth and spat out a breath of green gas, landing in this area.
The dimmed light shield had no resistance, and in the blink of an eye, it was largely corroded by the green gas.
However, the runes on the white jade pillar in the middle now all flashed wildly. The other areas of the yellow light shield shone brightly, and more yellow rays of light surged forth, impacting the area surrounded by the dozen or so array flags like a raging tide, but they were firmly blocked by the array flags.
Intense fluctuations of magical power spread out, blocked by the surrounding black light screen, but this time the fluctuations were too intense, and the black light screen also trembled with a "buzzing" sound, becoming more and more intense, seemingly unable to withstand it.
Fortunately, after two or three breaths, a large hole was corroded by the green gas in the ten zhang area.
The figure quickly shot in, landing near the white jade pillar, opening their mouth and spitting out a thick black gas, enveloping the pillar. At the same time, they made hand gestures, and beams of black magic flew out, striking the pillar.
The black gas quickly spread on the pillar, staining the runes black.
The light on the pillar quickly dimmed, and the surging rays of light on the yellow light shield slowly dissipated, and everything returned to its original state.
With a wave of their hand, the dozen or so array flags from the light shield emerged from inside, flying back to the figure's hand, and were put away.
Without stopping, they flipped their hand and took out a stack of yellow array flags, which turned into more than a dozen beams of light and shot out, hitting the yellow light shield from the inside.
These array flags entered the light shield without any resistance and disappeared.
The entire yellow light shield fluctuated slightly, and then returned to its original state, and the ten zhang hole that had been corroded by the green gas quickly recovered.
Only then did the figure turn their head and look at the ten or so stone cabinets distributed around the pillar.
Each stone cabinet was shrouded in a layer of deep red light.
The figure walked to a stone cabinet without hesitation and spat out a breath of green gas, landing on the surface of the light shield. That area immediately fluctuated violently, and the red light quickly faded, seemingly about to be breached.
Just at that moment, white crystalline light suddenly appeared on the surface of the red light, and the red and white lights reflected each other, immediately resisting the corrosion of the green gas.
At the same time, a piercing bell rang from the depths of the hall.
The void around the figure fluctuated, and they seemed quite startled.
But in the next moment, a low incantation came from their mouth, and their hands continued to change.
The mass of green gas immediately rolled around, transforming into various shapes, and quickly impacting the red and white restrictions, but no matter how the green gas changed, it could not break through.
The figure suddenly waved their hand, resolutely recalling the green gas, and then pointed two fingers at their brow. A black mark suddenly appeared on their brow, then cracked open, revealing a jet-black eyeball.
The eyeball moved slightly, and black runes faintly appeared inside.
Whoosh!
A beam of black light as thick as a finger shot out from it, flashing and hitting the restriction outside the stone cabinet.
The red and white restrictions were like paper in front of the black light, immediately pierced through, and shattered with a "bang".
The figure's brow flashed with crystalline light, emitting a vast divine sense, which split into more than a dozen parts, each entering a jade slip, quickly exploring the contents inside.
And as soon as the bell rang, the restrictions outside the Hidden Scripture Pavilion immediately flashed wildly, emitting a burst of warning sounds.
"Not good! Someone has broken into the Hidden Scripture Pavilion!"
"Who is so bold, simply courting death!"
"Could it be the thief who sneaked into the Heavenly Talisman Hall a few days ago?"
As shouts of anger came, figures gathered towards the Hidden Scripture Pavilion from all directions.
Having learned from the Heavenly Talisman Hall, these patrols did not hesitate at all. While sending people to notify the sect's higher-ups, the strongest captains immediately broke into the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
In the dark night, lights also lit up in various places of the Cold Flame Sect, becoming restless.
The first to react were the two Refinement cultivators at the entrance of the Inner Pavilion.
As soon as the alarm bell rang, the two of them jumped up, their faces showing a mixture of shock and anger.
Someone had actually sneaked into the Inner Pavilion under their noses!
"Could it really be a Great Ascension cultivator?"
The thought flashed through their minds, but they couldn't care about anything else at this moment. They immediately each took out a jade talisman, one shaped like a crescent moon, and the other a flat circle.
The two jade talismans were combined to form a complete circle, and they were placed on a certain part of the door without saying a word.
The water ripple restriction on the door flashed and quickly disappeared, and the stone door opened with a bang. The two of them shot in without saying a word.
Seeing the light black light screen inside, they were stunned.
The white fat monk's thoughts turned rapidly, and he gritted his teeth, flipping his hand and taking out a round mirror magic treasure.
He made a hand gesture, and gray light flashed wildly on the round mirror, spitting out a thick gray-white beam, hitting the black light screen, and emitting a deafening explosion.
The light screen immediately rolled violently, undulating like water waves, but it was not immediately broken.
Almost at the same time, four cyan flying swords also flew out of the tall and thin man's body, hovering slightly, and transformed into four cyan lotus flowers.
Countless cyan sword qi shot out from the four cyan lotuses, slashing on the black light screen.
Puff puff!
The black light screen finally could not withstand it and was torn open, revealing the situation inside.
"Audacious thief!"
The two Refinement cultivators felt a sense of relief when they saw the faintly visible light silver figure inside, but at the same time, they were filled with shame and anger.
The aura emanating from this figure was only that of a Core Formation cultivator!
However, this person completely ignored the two Refinement cultivators outside. At this moment, they had just finished reading the jade slip in the first stone cabinet. With a flash of their figure, they came to another stone cabinet next to it.
They used the same method to shoot out a beam of black light from their brow, shattering the restrictions around the stone cabinet, and then calmly released their divine sense again, probing into the jade slip on it.
