Chapter 1604 Goodbye Xian Lan
"Chen Xuan, quickly take this immortal orchid down. If you take it down and refine it, your realm will surely advance by leaps and bounds. Next time you face that Queen in Red, you won't be so disheveled."
The World Tree urged.
Chen Xuan's gaze also fell on the immortal orchid imprisoned by chains.
The dense energy emanating from the immortal orchid was almost tangible.
He swallowed and said, "I'll take it down now!"
With that, he leaped straight towards the immortal orchid.
The moment his palm touched the immortal orchid, the runes on the chains suddenly lit up, and lightning surged, blasting Chen Xuan away.
Bang—
Chen Xuan slammed hard against the wall.
The World Tree's voice echoed, "There are indeed restrictions on this immortal orchid."
Chen Xuan, who was already unhappy about being tricked, was so angry that he almost spat blood upon hearing this, "You knew that and you didn't tell me beforehand?"
"Cough cough cough, I forgot."
"I think you're trying to harm me."
"How could that be? You are my provider now. Without you, I can't live. How could I possibly harm you?"
"Provider? Call me daddy quickly!"
The World Tree: "..."
Chen Xuan tried a few more times, but the power of the runes was too strong. Moreover, the runes exuded an ancient aura, seemingly very distant. Chen Xuan had never heard of these runes and didn't know how to break them.
Unable to break them, he couldn't take the immortal orchid.
"Chen Xuan, this should be the Spirit Confinement Array. To break it, you need to find the array's eye. If you find the array's eye and break it, you'll definitely be able to get this immortal orchid," the World Tree reminded him.
"Spirit Confinement Array?"
Chen Xuan blinked and said, "Then I'll try..."
The method to find the array's eye is simple. Generally, the array's eye is where the spiritual energy gathers in this area. If one has a Bagua disk, they can easily see the flow of spiritual energy and thus find the array's eye.
But his Qiankun Bag was stolen, and he had nothing in his hands.
In desperation, Chen Xuan could only rely on his senses to perceive the gathering of spiritual energy.
He closed his eyes to rest and slowly released the spiritual energy within him.
The spiritual energy, like mist, gently swirled above his head, then surged in one direction...
"Could it be over there?"
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw the spiritual energy converging on the wall not far away.
He walked over quickly, cleared away the surrounding vegetation, and reached the wall.
The wall was covered with green algae.
He raised his hand and struck out with a palm. The wind, like a blade, instantly revealed the wall's true appearance, smooth as jade.
Seeing the stone wall, Chen Xuan's pupils contracted.
On the white wall, there was not an array's eye, but a complex set of runes.
They were obscure and difficult to understand, but they exuded a strange aura.
However, it felt somewhat familiar.
He thought for a moment, but couldn't recall where he had seen it before.
"World Tree, do you know what this is?"
The World Tree replied, "I think I've seen it before, but I don't know what it is."
Even the World Tree didn't know, which made Chen Xuan feel helpless.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan remembered something. "I know what this is!"
"What?"
"I saw it on the back of Su Yunxi's father. The curse runes on Su Yunxi's father's back are similar to this, seemingly of the same kind."
Chen Xuan said excitedly, "This curse is related to that. Perhaps we can find something out."
He felt this was the biggest gain from this trip.
He quickly looked for something to engrave the runes onto himself, so he could transcribe them later when he returned.
"We should hurry and find the array's eye, or we'll be trapped here," the World Tree said.
Without the help of the邋遢道人 (Lātà Dàorén - Unkempt Daoist), they couldn't open the bronze door. Now, they could only find a way to break the formation here to get out.
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan had finally found some clues about the curse, and was now full of enthusiasm.
"I'll help you find the array's eye. You release the spiritual energy," the World Tree said.
Chen Xuan quickly released his spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy continued to drift.
This time, the spiritual energy drifted to a large rock nearby.
"The array's eye is at that large rock!" the World Tree said urgently.
Chen Xuan quickly walked to the large rock and found that this rock was also unusual. It had runes similar to those on the chains. "This large rock might really be the array's eye!"
"Break it, and we can break the Spirit Confinement Array!"
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan's gaze sharpened. He gathered all his spiritual energy and struck the large rock with a palm.
"Boom!"
A rumbling sound echoed.
On the large rock, runes suddenly appeared, as if gathering strength to resist Chen Xuan.
At the same time, the entire array seemed to be activated, and the runes on the chains all appeared.
"Bang bang bang!"
As his strength was about to be offset by the runes, Chen Xuan struck a few more palms. The rumbling sound echoed through the heavens.
After a few palms, the large rock finally showed cracks.
"It's working, this is great!"
Chen Xuan, who had some doubts, was overjoyed to see the cracks on the stone and gathered his strength, striking it a few more times.
At the same time.
As cracks appeared on the array's eye, the entire spirit pool began to shake violently. Tall water columns surged into the sky, like a tsunami arriving.
In the next moment.
Swish swish swish!!
Several ancient clan elders in green robes appeared near the spirit pool. Looking at the strange phenomenon, their expressions were all solemn.
"This is bad, the spirit pool is acting up!"
"Our ancient family's ancestral teachings state that if the spirit pool acts up, it means the spirit pool is facing destruction. Is the prophecy truly coming true?"
"We don't know!"
"It's a pity, we are powerless!"
One by one, the ancient clan elders could only watch helplessly. With their abilities, they were unable to do anything. So, someone quickly reported this matter to the Gu family, causing another uproar.
The peerless heavenly demon had brought immense disaster to the Gu family. After paying the lives of several clan elders, they finally killed the peerless heavenly demon. Unexpectedly, one wave had not subsided before another arose.
Is the Gu family truly facing disaster?
The ancestors of the Gu family once said that this day would be a year of great tribulation for the Gu family. If they wanted to survive, they would need the help of a Child of Destiny to overcome the crisis, otherwise, the Gu family would disappear into the river of history.
No one in the Gu family had ever believed this matter, but at this moment, they all began to believe it.
The Gu family patriarch, Gu Boyun, immediately said, "Quick, quickly invite the Mountain Master of Longhu Mountain to find the Child of Destiny for our Gu family!"
...
At this time, Chen Xuan had struck the large rock a few more times. The large rock was already covered in cracks. With two more blows, this rock would surely shatter completely!
Chen Xuan took a breath and struck the rock two more times!
Crack crack!
The cracks spread again, and finally, the large rock suddenly collapsed.
The runes on the chains that confined the immortal orchid instantly dimmed.
"Boom!"
Chen Xuan raised his hand and blasted out. The chains, which were originally indestructible, snapped like tofu in an instant.
The immortal orchid, with a crash, fell towards the ground.
