Chapter 5: Seals
"Frost?"
"Yes, Frost, Ancient Excalibur. In the past, there was a piece of Xuan Ice that coexisted with heaven and earth in the far north, and that Xuan Ice absorbed the breath of extreme cold every day, and over time it actually gave birth to a scorpion-type demon beast. The demon beast called itself the Cold Emperor Scorpion, this scorpion was a disaster to the world, and it was frozen for thousands of miles everywhere it went. Fortunately, there is a hero who surrenders him. Pull out its tail thorns, mix it with the ice, and make a frost. After the frost, the whereabouts of the owner changed hands several times and I didn't expect to meet it here today. β
"But don't I have no end? This frost is useless to me! β
"Are you stupid, you have a sword body, and it is a heavenly sword bone, the more divine swords you have, the stronger your strength will be!" Xiao Yuan looked at Chi Yuan with a hopeless expression, "What's more, if this sword is here for a long time, this place may become an ice desert." Xiao Yuan looked at the cold air emanating from all around, thoughtful.
"Huh? What's going on? β
"The artifact uses the qi of heaven and earth to nourish itself, and at the same time expands its own realm and accelerates the gathering of spiritual energy, but once the surrounding spiritual power is exhausted, it will become a dead land."
"So what to do?"
"Find it, and then subdue it, but you'd better hurry, the aura around here is full of life, and its sword soul may soon have its own consciousness!"
Hearing this, Chi Yuan no longer hesitated, and dodged into the ice city.
"Left!" Xiao Yuan's voice sounded in Chi Yuan's ears, Chi Yuan's figure flashed, and he continued to jump forward, and the surrounding buildings gradually became scarce, and finally became empty.
"Stop!" Chi Yuan stabilized his body when he heard the sound, stopped in the middle of the flat ground, and only heard Xiao Yuan say: "The aura is the most abundant here, and the frost should be here!" But the aura around it was messy, and I couldn't tell where it was. β
As soon as Xiao Yuan's words fell, the ground swelled, and just as something was about to come out, Chi Yuan threw a punch into the ground. After the loud bang, a wave of air rushed by, scattering half a foot of snow in all directions, revealing a slightly protruding plaza with fog surging on the field.
Suddenly a red light flashed in the fog, and a huge scissor-shaped object stabbed at Chi Yuan, Chi Yuan turned his sword into a sword, shot out a sword qi, and then retracted his fingers into a fist, and swung forward with all his might.
After the fog cleared, I could see the thing in the fog clearlyβa giant scorpion with a dark blue body. This scorpion is huge, its pincers glow with a piercing cold light, its tail is erected upward, but there is no tail spine, and there is a crack in the left jaw, which should have been injured by Wuya just now.
"Chilling Emperor Scorpion!" Xiao Yuan flashed out of nowhere. Looking at the demon beast in front of him, Chi Yuan was also taken aback, and then his face became solemn.
"The crack in his pincer is being repaired," Chi Yuan said in a deep voice. Xiao Yuan looked at the crack, it was indeed slowly recovering, but the aura around him did not flow, but avoided him from a distance.
Xiao Yuan looked up and saw that a gossamer-like aura was overflowing from the thunderclouds directly above him, dispersing into the body of the Cold Emperor Scorpion. This should be the reason for his recovery. Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, looked at Chi Yuan and said, "You drag this demon beast, there is something weird in this thundercloud, I'll take a look." β
Chi Yuan nodded, and as soon as his mind moved, Wuya turned into himself and floated beside Chi Yuan. Xiao Yuan entered the boundless, and the streamer flashed, flying towards the thundercloud above the square.
Seeing this, the Emperor Scorpion hurriedly rushed upward, but was blasted into the ground by the leaping Chi Yuan's punch, and a big pit was blasted out in an instant. Chi Yuan stood on the edge of the pit, defiantly looking at the frenzied Chill Emperor Scorpion in the pit, and then jumped into the pit to fight with it.
At the same time, Xiao Yuan also entered the thunderclouds.
Xiao Yuan looked ahead, and there was a dark blue long sword entwined in the thunder and lightning, but the lightning was shining, and the specific sword shape could not be seen clearly.
"Frost, so you're here!" Xiao Yuan was about to take the sword forward, but with a flash of lightning, Xiao Yuan bounced away.
"What a strong seal!" Xiao Yuan shook off the hand that was numb, "I don't believe I can't untie it!" Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand and waved, and Wu Yan slashed towards the sword.
"Little girl, wait!" An old voice rang out from the thunderclouds.
"Who!" Xiao Yuan retracted his hand and looked around vigilantly.
"I am the consciousness of the Xuan Ice in the Frost, I was supposed to become the Sword Spirit of the Frost when I was subdued by the old master thousands of years ago, but the Emperor Scorpion actually hid the remnant soul in the tail thorn, and I fought with it to control him, but I couldn't become the Sword Spirit. Later, I was sealed here by a Shushan Demon Dao, asking me to accept the aura here, and connect my soul with this seal, I had no choice but to control the demon beast and disperse the creatures here, and I hid in this thundercloud, and the thunder and lightning qi here just hid the frosty sword qi, so it was not found by others. β
"Oh? Then I'll just break the seal."
"I don't want to go on like this anymore, it's against the way of heaven to collect the aura of living beings like this, but you cut the seal now, I'm afraid that the aura of me and the frost will both dissipate."
"Why is this happening?" Xiao Yuan's face was solemn.
"My soul is placed in the eye of the array, and my soul will be dispersed when the seal is dispersed, and the frost has not become a spiritual consciousness, so naturally it can't stop this thundercloud."
"Is there a way to unravel it?"
"Yes, as long as you find the Demon Sect Soul Bell Weakening Seal, plus the Heavenly Sword Bone to resist this thundercloud!"
"Okay, I'll go find these two things, you better not lie to me!" After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he stopped lingering and flew towards the ground.
"Boundless world, I think the Heavenly Sword Bone has also appeared, it's been three thousand years, I don't know what will happen to them this time!" Looking at the boundless flying away, the old man's voice seemed to be talking to himself, but it was like a murmur to an old friend.
At this time, on the ground, Chi Yuan and the scorpion demon had been entangled for several years, and his body was covered with frost, and the scorpion demon was also completely shattered, and he could not recover for a while. Chi Yuan saw Wuya flying back, jumped up, caught Wuya in the air, and shot a sword qi at the scorpion demon with his backhand, and the scorpion demon had just recovered a trace of shape, but it was shattered by this sword and escaped in the air.
"Little waste, withdraw first!"
Hearing this, Chi Yuan's feet used his spiritual power, and he jumped several times in a row, and in an instant, he was outside the ice city.
"What happened?" Chi Yuan asked.
Xiao Yuan told Chi Yuan what Xuan Bing said, and after Chi Yuan heard it, he pondered for a moment and said, "According to what you see, how long can this place drag on without harming the origin?" β
"It's only three days."
Hearing this, Chi Yuan sat down cross-legged, "In that case, you might as well wait here for two days, since the girl has this map before, she will definitely come here." Chi Yuan paused, and then said, "However, if she still doesn't appear within two days, she will directly cut the seal." β
"Are you crazy? It was frost, and countless people fought for the bloody sword! β
"So what? If it hurts the original spiritual power here, maybe it may not be able to recover for a thousand years, and it hurts the heavenly principles to seize the spirit of creation, and the living beings here are also a catastrophe, and they can't break the seal, which means that I have nothing to do with this sword, so why cling? After saying that, Chi Yuan used his skills and began to dissolve the cold injuries on his body.
"You little piece of waste, it's really hopeless." Although Xiao Yuan said this, there was a smile in his tone that seemed to be gratifying.
