The Art of the Great Sword

Chapter 227 Do you know how precious it is!

"Clan leader, it should be Lu Ningwei's credit that this giant bronze door can be opened!"

An elder said with a smile, "This girl Lu Ningwei is not only extremely talented, she is also an eternal new star in our Liu Clan's deduction. If our Liu Clan has her, she will definitely sweep away all the geniuses of the same realm in the future. No one can compare with her." !”

"I have known about Lu Ningwei's situation for a long time."

Liu Qingqing smiled lightly, "She just tried to open the giant bronze door yesterday and failed. Now the giant bronze door has opened on its own initiative. It can be seen that it has an inseparable relationship with her!"

"Seal the news first, and after I have collected all the treasures in the ancient ruins, I will give her a big reward!"

Liu Qingwu waved his hand. Those who could appear here were all the backbone of the Liu clan and his confidants.

At times like this, the fewer people who know, the better.

After arranging everything, Liu Qingqing waved his hand and retreated. He himself looked at the huge bronze door that opened in front of him, excitement flashing in his eyes.

He stepped forward.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Just when he was about to approach the giant bronze door, an inexplicable force suddenly blocked him from the outside. It was a transparent barrier. When it was rippling in the void, Liu Qingqing thought it was energy released from outside.

"Um?"

Suddenly blocked by this inexplicable barrier, Liu Wuqing frowned. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to push the barrier away.

But no matter how hard he tried, the barrier wouldn't budge.

"interesting!"

An icy look flashed in Liu Wuqing's eyes. No one had ever let him be defeated before. At that moment, he gathered the power of a saint and poured a majestic and terrifying wave into his fist, hitting the transparent barrier hard.

The barrier doesn't move at all!

All the power was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, directly losing its voice.

Liu Wuqing was shocked. He had already used 70% of his strength in this blow. He wanted to break the barrier instantly, but unexpectedly failed to do so.

"Impossible, there is still power in this world that can stop me?"

As a saint, Liu Wuqing was undoubtedly very proud. He did not believe that he would be blocked by an ordinary-looking transparent barrier.

I saw him frowning, thinking about how to deal with it.

If 70% of your strength is not enough, then use all your strength!

"Exit the cave!"

Liu Wuqing shouted and ordered all the elders to leave.

As a saint, once all the power of a saint explodes, I am afraid no one can withstand it. Even if these elders are put together, they are not enough to crush him with his breath.

The remaining elders immediately exited the cave. Confusion flashed in everyone's eyes, as if they didn't know what to do.

"The giant bronze door has obviously been opened, why can't I still enter?"

"Yes, this is really strange. Could it be that God doesn't want us to enter and explore it?"

"Shh, don't say this nonsense."

The group of elders gestured to each other with their eyes.

Looking at the whole thing, it is indeed a bit absurd. The door is opened and there is a transparent barrier blocking it. This is sincerely opposing my Liu clan.

But they didn't dare to say it, so they could only shrink their necks and wait for the final result.

After a while, an elder was called in.

After a moment, he hurried out, looking flustered, "Go and invite the Supreme Elder."

"What?"

The pupils of many elders shrank. The clan leader was unable to do anything with the barrier, so he actually wanted to invite the Supreme Elder.

As we all know, the Supreme Elder's lifespan is about to end, and he must go into retreat for a long time to prevent the consumption of his lifespan. Usually, he needs to take a lot of blood-replenishing spiritual stones and place them in the retreat place, so that there is fresh blood to absorb anytime and anywhere.

In this case, every move will increase the burden on the longevity of the Supreme Elder. Unless the family's life is in danger, he will never take action.

"Is it so serious?"

An elder chased after him and asked in a low voice, "The giant bronze door has obviously been opened, why can't we get in?"

"Alas, I don't know either, but this is the order of the head of the family, and we can only obey it."

The elder shook his head. He was the only one who had been called into the cave before. He didn't say what the situation was, and no one knew.

The two came to the mansion where the Supreme Elder was retreating. The walls were tall and elegant, and the stone door was carved with ferocious animal faces. The flowers and plants at the door were withered, as if they had lost all life, and there was a sense of decay from the inside out. Qi.

"If I remember correctly, the Supreme Elder has not been out of seclusion for at least two hundred years. The last time he was out of seclusion was when the barbarians invaded in large numbers."

"For the family, the ruins inside the giant bronze gate are extremely important, and can even be compared with the family's survival."

The two chatted for a few words, and then one person stepped forward and knocked on the stone door, "By order of the patriarch Liu Wuqing, I respectfully invite my ancestor to come out of seclusion!"

He shouted three times in a row to show respect.

In an instant, the animal face on the stone door seemed to come alive, and a pair of scarlet eyes lit up, staring at the two of them, "What's the matter?"

The words he spoke were like ghosts from the underworld, rushing straight into people's souls, making people feel hairy and shuddering in their hearts.

"Back to the ancestors, the clan leader has encountered a big difficulty and needs the ancestors to cooperate with him. If this is done, it will make our Liu clan stronger!"

The elder made a respectful request based on what Liu Wuqing taught him.

"Ancestor, every time I leave seclusion, I have to consume a lot of blood spirit stones. I hope that boy Liu Qingqing can understand and don't wake me up easily until the critical moment!"

The voice spoke coldly, and it could be seen that even Liu Qingqing, as the clan leader, usually could not invite the Supreme Elder unless there was something special.

The red pupils of the beast's face narrowed, and the huge stone door made a loud and vibrating sound. It slowly moved away, and the breath of death rushed towards the face. Even though the two elders were princes in the divine destiny realm, they were also affected by this wave at this moment. His breath was so shocked that he almost spit it out.

Decay, death, bad smell, stench!

You can't describe the strangeness of this smell in words. It's like a corpse that has been left for many years. Once the stench spurts out, it makes people feel nauseous.

But the two of them did not dare to change their expressions, and stood on both sides in fear. In terms of seniority, the Supreme Elder was their ancestor!

They dare not be disrespectful!

A short and thin figure in black robes walked out of the stone door, like a ghost. He raised his thin face with only a layer of skin left and stared at the two of them, "Lead the way."

The sound was hoarse, like two things rubbing against each other.

In this way, the Supreme Elder was brought to the formation.

He glanced around and strode into it.

Outside, many elders shuddered.

"Even the Supreme Elder has come out of seclusion. Something big is bound to happen."

Several elders whispered, "I really hope that our Liu clan can successfully enter this ruins. This is the only opportunity that can transform our family in recent years!"

"Ring Wu, why are you calling me ancestor?"

The Supreme Elder strode in vigorously and resolutely.

Every minute and every second he spends outside requires a large amount of blood spirit stones, which means that the Liu Clan has a deep foundation to be able to support all this.

If it were any other force, they probably wouldn't be able to support him at all.

"Ancestor, do you still remember the ancient ruins I reported to you before? Now that we have opened the giant door of the ancient ruins, a transparent barrier has appeared, making it impossible to enter!"

Liu Qingqing frowned, "I have exhausted all my strength, but I still can't shake it. I invited the ancestors to come today because I want them to work together with me to break down this barrier."

The Supreme Elder stretched out his hand to touch the barrier. After a moment, his eyes darkened, "This barrier is like a product of the power of rules. It is difficult for ordinary manpower to destroy it!"

Liu Qingqing's expression froze, "We managed to open this giant bronze door with great difficulty. Why, why did there appear rules to prevent us from entering? Are we, the Liu Clan, not protected by God?"

"How to open it?"

The Supreme Elder asked back, "When you reported this to me, you said that you couldn't open this giant bronze door despite all your efforts. You could only wait for the eternal new star, and only with the secret key condensed from his blood, could you open it. The giant bronze door..."

"Yes, the Eternal Star has been found. She activated her essence and blood yesterday to inject it into the giant bronze door. All the elders present truly felt the power of resonance, and as a result, the door opened today."

Liu Qingqing said.

"How do you prove she drove it?"

The Supreme Elder sneered, "If her essence and blood can really open this giant bronze door, why didn't it open yesterday but opened it today instead? What is the meaning of this transparent barrier? Invite her here and you will know once you try it."

"That's right. It's all my fault that I was too impatient and ignored these things!"

Liu Qingqing slapped his head and immediately called the elders outside and asked him to invite Lu Ningwei.

Not long after, Lu Ningwei, Liu Mu, and Jiang Ding appeared outside the formation at the same time.

Jiang Ding looked a little worried. He sent a message to Liu Mu, "We were suddenly asked to come here today. Could it be that there are some things... that we can't hide?"

He was very flustered in his heart. He had just thought of defrauding the Liu Clan yesterday and asked for the Yin-Yang Sky Cloak through Liu Mu's hands. Unexpectedly, he was invited over before he left.

Have your thoughts been known to the Liu Clan?

"Husband, don't worry, they probably don't mean this."

Liu Mu consoled him, "You just agreed to lend me the Holy Realm Spirit Soldier yesterday, and you regret it today. It's absolutely impossible. With the size and background of the Liu Clan, the words you say are like water being poured out!"

Jiang Ding suppressed his inner ambition and nodded, "I hope so."

"Lu Ningwei."

An elder came up and said, "The patriarch and the supreme elders are waiting for you inside. Come in."

Lu Ningwei's expression changed slightly. The clan leader, the supreme elder, and the two great saints of the Liu clan actually wanted to see her?

She was in a confused mood, but her steps were uncontrollable as she gradually walked inside.

Liu Qingwu and the Supreme Elder were standing around the transparent barrier. When they saw Lu Ningwei coming in, Liu Wuqing was the first to speak, "Are you Lu Ningwei?"

"I've met the clan leader!"

"I've met my ancestor!"

Lu Ningwei suppressed all the fears in her heart and forced herself to salute calmly.

When she raised her head, she suddenly caught sight of the giant bronze door opening from the corner of her eye. At this moment, a fire of hope suddenly ignited in her heart. The excitement was self-evident.

Yesterday, I just injected the essence and blood into it, and today the door is opened?

Sure enough, I opened it!

Lu Ningwei was overjoyed. Before she could speak, Liu Qingqing raised her hand and said, "Come here."

Lu Ningwei didn't dare to think too much and walked up immediately.

"Try to see if you can cross this barrier."

Liu Wuqing gave the order calmly.

Only then did Lu Ningwei realize that there was a condensed barrier in front of her. It was very transparent. If she didn't look carefully, she couldn't see clearly. She didn't understand what Liu Qingqing meant, but she still did it.

Lu Ningwei stretched out her hand to cross the barrier, but like Liu Qingqing, she was blocked by the barrier and could not cross it no matter how hard she tried.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Liu Wuqing's eyes, completely undisguised.

He waved his hand, "Okay, you can go down."

Lu Ningwei's mind has turned around at this moment. The door has been opened. Most likely she opened it by herself, but the appearance of this transparent barrier is very strange.

However, the situation did not allow her to say more than a word, so she was asked out by the elders.

"How's it going, Ningwei?"

Seeing Lu Ningwei walking out unscathed, Jiang Ding felt at ease and quickly asked.

"The giant bronze door inside opened."

Lu Ningwei sent a message, "But there is a transparent barrier blocking their way. Even the clan leader is helpless."

Jiang Ding looked stunned. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Inside the cave.

Liu Wuqing sighed, "Not even her."

"That means that she did not open this giant bronze door. How could a person of destiny not be able to enter the corresponding ruins?"

The Supreme Elder sneered, "Now that all the methods have been considered, there is only one move left. You and I will work together to attack this transparent barrier. If it can be opened, it means that the power of the rules is not so strong that it cannot be shaken. If we attack Not opening it only means that we have no chance of it.”

Liu Qingqing sighed, this was the only way at the moment.

The two of them each took a step back to create enough distance. After ordering the elders to retreat, they each displayed the terrifying power of the saint.

A large amount of blood energy halo appeared around the Supreme Elder, which was bright and scarlet.

Every time he circulates his spiritual energy, his complexion will appear as ruddy as full of blood. This is because he is condensing all the blood energy in his body to form an offensive.

There is no way, his life span is not enough, so he can only use this method to maintain it.

Unless he can find a way to break through, let him go further and gain more longevity, so that he can live another life.

"boom!"

With a loud noise that shook the world, the two men's joint attack hit the barrier heavily. The two saints took action, destroying everything.

However, the transparent barrier didn't move at all.

It seems that the power the two of them have gathered cannot shake its rules at all!

Liu Qingqing's face turned ugly. This transparent barrier was even more outrageous than the hard bronze door before. He attacked the bronze door with all his strength, and at least a vibrating sound would be heard as feedback.

Attacking this transparent barrier with all your strength is like a mud cow entering the sea, without making any sound.

"This rule is beyond the combined efforts of the two of us. It's not at the same level at all. Even if we die here from exhaustion, we still can't shake this transparent barrier at all."

The Supreme Elder stopped his hand and looked cold.

Liu Qingqing was silent. Judging from the facts, this was indeed the case.

"Perhaps, this ancient ruins are destined to have no fate with our Liu Clan. It is better not to place your hopes on this thing. It is only right to find ways to seize luck in the next era of great strife and allow our Liu Clan to give birth to a few more saints. way!"

The Supreme Elder shook his head slightly, and it was obvious that he was very disappointed.

Liu Wuqing gritted his teeth, he was unwilling to give in!

The hope he had been looking forward to for so many years suddenly came to nothing. No wonder he couldn't accept it.

...

...

Inside the ancient ruins.

Fang Qingyang didn't know what was happening outside. He was following the middle-aged man's instructions and heading east.

Along the way, he saw many palace complexes that had existed for an unknown period of time.

Instinct drove him to enter these palaces to find out what was going on, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it should be divided into priorities.

First enter the ruins left by the strong dragon clan, and after returning with a full load, it is not too late to explore these small places.

Finally, when it was getting dark, Fang Qingyang finally saw what was ahead of him. It was a huge ancient palace built on the mountain, with a lot of Qi growing around it.

The whirlpool was raging in the sky above the ancient palace, and the dark clouds were dense, exuding a dark color. Just when Fang Qingyang was about to approach, several thunders fell from the dark clouds out of thin air, splitting the void.

Such a powerful aura, any thunderbolt can probably chop me into ashes, even if my body is far stronger than the average prince... Fang Qingyang thought in his heart, his expression was filled with chills.

Seeing that the terrifying vision that suddenly appeared was getting stronger and stronger, it was already blocking his way. Fortunately, this thunder did not spread outwards, otherwise Fang Qingyang would have to turn around and run away.

I don't know how long it took for the thunder to gradually dissipate, leaving only the aura of violence and violence in the void, like a battlefield after a ravage.

It wasn't until this moment that Fang Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of depression dissipated from his heart, as if a big stone had been removed from his heart.

He approached the ancient palace cautiously, fearing that the rioting thunder would strike again. Fortunately, all worries were groundless. No strange phenomena occurred until Fang Qingyang walked to the side of the ancient palace.

"How many treasures must exist in the place where a dragon emperor sits?"

Fang Qingyang was full of longing. The huge door of the huge ancient palace was ajar. When he pushed the door open and entered, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Just when Fang Qingyang stepped into the hall, a dull loud sound suddenly sounded in his ears, bang, bang, bang, very rhythmic, powerful and continuous.

It's like someone is beating a drum in your ears!

This loud noise can directly shock people's internal organs, like a terrifying magic sound that shocks the mind, making Fang Qingyang dizzy and the blood all over his body rolling.

It took a long time for Fang Qingyang to gradually become familiar with this rhythm, but when he thought about it, he felt strange that the sound was so loud, why didn't he hear it at all when he was outside?

Fang Qingyang tried to exit the ancient palace. After the figure completely emerged, the shocking loud noise disappeared and silence returned again.

It seems that only when you step into this ancient palace can you hear that voice... Fang Qingyang pondered, this time he was fully prepared and walked in again.

Sure enough, the voice came again.

Fang Qingyang ignored this and searched in the ancient palace. It was very empty inside. There was only one passage leading to an unknown place. On the left and right sides of the passage entrance, there were two magnificent and ferocious-looking bronze statues, each holding a hand in his hand. The strange weapons and sharp blades seemed to be guarding something, and the power they exuded was frightening.

Dragon head body?

Fang Qingyang saw the difference in this statue at a glance. He narrowed his eyes. Could it be that all the dragons in ancient times looked like this?

Inside the Dragon Emperor Sword, the middle-aged man seemed to understand Fang Qingyang's thoughts and mocked, "I told you, it's just a little snake with some real dragon blood. A real real dragon doesn't look like this."

Fang Qingyang looked around, but didn't find anything valuable outside. He walked into the passage. The bronze stone walls on both sides were extremely primitive, exuding the aura of ancient vicissitudes, and the pressure came to his face.

The moment he stepped into the passage, the dull sound became clearer.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every now and then, it's like beating a drum next to your ears, making your soul tremble.

Fang Qingyang held on to the excitement in his heart and walked to the end of the passage. What he saw was a huge palace. Inside the palace were dozens of skeletons lying staggering. Each skeleton had been dead for who knows how many years. They were naked except for their flesh and blood. The lower bones are as crystal clear as jade.

"I'm afraid these are the bones of a saint! As far as I know, even the bones of a powerful prince cannot show such a color after death. So many saints died here?"

Fang Qingyang's pupils shrank violently. At this moment, he indeed felt the unknown danger approaching.

"Master, these skeletons are all saint-level experts, right?"

Fang Qingyang asked in a low voice.

"yes."

Inside the Dragon Emperor Sword, the middle-aged man didn't show off, "Seventeen skeletons of saints and three skeletons of the leader."

"Leader?"

Fang Qingyang was curious.

"Above the Holy Realm is the Ascension Realm. The strong men in the Ascension Realm are all giants, and everyone is respectfully called the leader!"

The middle-aged man said, "So, you should understand how precious the inheritance of this place is."

"..."

Fang Qingyang didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't see how precious it was, but I saw how dangerous it was. Even the leader of the Ascension Realm died here. You asked me to come and get it? Aren't you harming me?"

"You are my only precious disciple, how can I harm you?"

The middle-aged man said with disdain, "You should believe me."

"I......"

Fang Qingyang was a little panicked. He wanted to believe it, but his legs were not working.

Seventeen saints died and three religious leaders died.

These are existences that are far stronger than him!

"Okay, let's go for it. If we don't die today, I, Qingyang, will soar into the sky!"

Fang Qingyang gritted his teeth and strode forward.

Every time he passes a skeleton, an inexplicable picture floods into his mind, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, or like being in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with the earth shaking, deafening, and constant roaring.

The sky and the earth turned into blood, and endless murderous intent spread over it, making it ferocious and terrifying.

Gradually, Fang Qingyang felt that his mind was affected, his eyes were red, and his breathing became much heavier. There was only one word left in his mind: kill!

Suddenly, Fang Qingyang's mind automatically turned to the idea of ​​​​Great Freedom. He hugged Yuan Shouyi and clung to the mirror to expel this thought.

I was actually affected by the residual evil spirit here... In an instant, Fang Qingyang's eyes returned to clarity, and he broke into a cold sweat.
