Chapter 1573 Xian Lan
"You're going to kill me!"
Chen Xuan instantly unleashed his full strength, unleashing several palm strikes, spewing out violent spiritual energy!
Crack crack crack!
The ice arrows that were in the direct path were shattered by Chen Xuan's true qi.
But as they continued, Chen Xuan's true qi became insufficient, and they rushed forward directly.
He dodged and weaved. Although his movement technique was excellent, he was still hit in the thigh by an ice arrow.
Blood flowed down his thigh.
Furthermore, the moment the ice arrow pierced his thigh, it instantly transformed into a talisman seal, sealing Chen Xuan's entire thigh, freezing it instantly. The ice then spread along Chen Xuan's body at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, even his blood seemed to have frozen.
It's over!
Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly urged his true qi to resist the cold, but it was useless.
"World Tree, hurry and help me, or I'm doomed!"
Chen Xuan shouted, pinning his hopes on the World Tree.
Without the power of a Nascent Soul, Chen Xuan was likely the weakest in the Nascent Soul realm. However, with the World Tree's augmentation, Chen Xuan might become the strongest in the Nascent Soul realm!
The World Tree knew that Chen Xuan could not be harmed, otherwise, it would also be doomed. Immediately, it transmitted a surge of immense energy.
The encroaching cold instantly halted.
"There's hope!"
Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, continued to circulate his true qi, and the frozen cold slowly receded and was neutralized.
Finally, Chen Xuan dispelled the cold.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to relax, he was stunned. The formation flashed, and over twenty ice arrows condensed around him, their tips aimed at Chen Xuan.
His face turned uglier than if he had eaten a fly.
What the heck am I supposed to do?
"World Tree, your power should be able to handle this, right?"
"Don't count on my power..."
"Then what do we do?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the ice arrows shot out, moving at extreme speed. Their tips rotated, resembling water dragons, creating a massive momentum.
"Find a way to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation."
"Easier said than done, how do we break it?"
"There's a rockery over there. There's a talisman on top of the rockery. Break that talisman and see if it works."
Chen Xuan turned his head and indeed saw a talisman pasted on the rockery. However, the talisman was ancient, and it was unknown how many years it had been there. It was covered in dust. If not for his sharp eyesight, he would never have discovered this rune.
But the problem then arose: how could he destroy that talisman without getting hurt?
"Damn it, I can only go head-on!"
Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and circulated all his spiritual energy to the extreme!
He shot forward like a cannonball towards the location of the talisman.
Fast!
As long as he was faster than the ice arrows, they would be helpless against him!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As Chen Xuan moved swiftly, the ice arrows followed closely behind.
The ice arrows coming from the left and right, due to their rapid approach, could not brake in time. Some of them crashed into each other, and all of them were destroyed.
Chen Xuan's heart rejoiced at this sight, but he still dared not be careless.
Because there were still fifteen or sixteen ice arrows behind!
Chen Xuan's speed was fast enough, but it couldn't match the ice arrows. Seeing that the ice arrows were already right behind his backside.
He acted decisively, executing an emergency stop. The moment he stopped, his true qi was already prepared. He turned his head and unleashed a fierce palm strike!
Instantly, the five or six ice arrows following behind were shattered.
Soon, he continued towards the rockery.
Quickly, he reached the top of the rockery and tore off the spiritual talisman.
The spiritual talisman was ancient and grand, exuding an aura of slaughter.
This spiritual talisman had existed for countless years, with complex runes Chen Xuan had never seen before. He only recognized one character on it.
"Lu!"
The 'Lu' of slaughter!
The 'Lu' of butchery!
The 'Lu' of the God of Slaughter and Immortal Slayer!
At this moment, the ice arrows also followed, directly targeting Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan remained unmoved and slapped the spiritual talisman with his palm.
Crack!
This palm strike instantly severed the spiritual talisman's connection with the entire Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
The approaching ice arrows suddenly paused, and the next moment, they all collapsed with a bang.
The light between heaven and earth flashed slightly, and then disappeared.
The Immortal Slaughtering Formation was broken!
"You scared me to death!"
Chen Xuan gasped for air.
Suddenly, he remembered something and got up, preparing to head towards the heavenly treasures.
"Hey, this Immortal Slaughtering Talisman is a good item, don't throw it away."
Suddenly, the World Tree's voice sounded.
Chen Xuan looked at the spiritual talisman he had thrown on the ground. He thought that if even the World Tree called it a good item, it must be good. However, he couldn't think about it anymore. He tossed the Immortal Slaughtering Talisman into his Qiankun Bag and turned to rush towards the heavenly treasures.
The closer he got to the heavenly treasures, the denser the surrounding energy became.
But Chen Xuan couldn't spare the time to refine and absorb it.
In less than two minutes, he was stunned by the scene before him!
An open space of about two hundred square meters contained a giant Immortal Orchid, emitting a soft glow. The surrounding energy had already crystallized.
Countless iron chains bound the branches and leaves of the Immortal Orchid.
The chains swayed, and runes flickered.
"What's going on!"
Chen Xuan was surprised. He instinctively wanted to step forward, but suddenly the World Tree warned him, "Don't move!"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xuan retracted the leg he had just raised.
Even the World Tree was so vigilant, it was evident how dangerous it was inside.
"Don't move at all, or you won't be able to get out once you're in!" the World Tree said.
"What's wrong again?"
"This is the Immortal Trapping Formation, an Immortal Trapping Formation that can trap immortals and demons, with no exit."
Chen Xuan gasped, "How can there be an Immortal Trapping Formation here?"
The World Tree said, "The reason the Immortal Trapping Formation appeared here is likely because a powerful immortal cultivator discovered the Immortal Orchid and wanted to use its energy to create a sacred land, which is why the spiritual pool came into being."
"You're saying the spiritual pool exists entirely because of this Immortal Orchid?"
Chen Xuan said in surprise.
"Precisely!"
The World Tree said, "Look at the chains trapping the Immortal Orchid, they are like continuously drawing out the Immortal Orchid's energy, releasing it into the spiritual pool for people to refine."
"So pitiful."
Chen Xuan looked at the Immortal Orchid, which seemed to be bleeding, and suddenly felt a pang of compassion.
He knew he shouldn't think like this, as he had also absorbed the Immortal Orchid's energy, but he felt this method was cruel.
"The martial arts world is a world of the fittest, very cruel," the World Tree said.
"Yes, I know," Chen Xuan nodded.
"Hurry up and leave, there's no need to waste time here. You can't get in, and even if you could, you probably wouldn't be able to get out."
Chen Xuan didn't think much of it. He glanced at the Immortal Orchid and prepared to turn away.
However, suddenly he looked into the distance and froze.
"Huh, what's that?"
Chen Xuan saw that on the mountain behind the Immortal Orchid, there seemed to be a door. It seemed to be covered in algae and rust due to years of disuse. If Chen Xuan hadn't reacted quickly, he wouldn't have been able to spot it.
"It should be a backdoor left by the formation setter. However, so many years have passed, the formation setter must be dead, and the passage to the backdoor has likely disappeared," the World Tree said.
"What a shame."
Chen Xuan took another look at the door, feeling it was extremely familiar, but he couldn't find any clues.
Then, he turned and left.
As soon as Chen Xuan left, the Immortal Orchid trembled slightly and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, the chains swayed gently, and a small piece of algae fell from the door, revealing a bronze color underneath.
