The next day.
Chu Xun and the brittle confederacy of humans and Lost Races champions came together to the Hanyang Peak. The soft morning fog veiled much of the upper half of the summit, but it did little to obscure the rainbow-like radiance shining at the top.
They barely got near and the enchantment, sensing their arrival, shimmered as if to greet them, enveloping the entire mid-hill to bar them from climbing. But they could see that the myriad-colored lights were pouring out of a stone portal.
The entryway hewn from the rock of the mountain looked ancient and old with hardly any engraving or markings. Just a simple set of doors made of cold, heavy granite.
The left door was ajar and that was where the lights were pouring out from.
Chu Xun stepped forward and examined the enchantment.
All six mutant champions stared quietly in silence, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Gao Mohan and his
Chu Xun looked around but could not see anything for it was totally dark.He tried to explore the place with his divine sense, but he was shocked to find that there seemed to be some kind of restraint that his divine sense could only cover the area within ten meters.He realized that the owner of this ancient relic had to be a Taoist Almighty.Chu Xun began to take the owner seriously.Taoism had a long history, and Chu Xun thought he should show his respect to the owner of this relic with awe in his heart.After all, in his heart, Taoism was worthy of respect.He could look down on anyone but those who killed the evil and monsters and who upheld justice.Observing through his divine sense, he chose a direction and groped his way forward in dark.The place seemed to be boundless, and he had walked for a long time but hadn't reached the end.He started pondering. Taois
The Flaming Lotus Enchantment of Purification started running. However, it was not easy to purify those Evil Shadows because the process would be extremely painful.Though the essence of the purple lotus was as thin as a needle, it contained extremely powerful fire elements, which were very violent and could easily melt rocks.Gao Mohan and the others were all at the Immortal Level. Though their bodies were not as hard as copper or iron, they had profound cultivation and could withstand the purifying power of the purple lotus.With cold sweat on their foreheads, Gao Mohan and the other two trembled slightly, their faces twisted, looking like they were in great pain.When the purifying power of the purple lotus got into their bodies, they felt like a burning needle was stabbing and melting their flesh and blood. This kind of pain would last for a long time.Gulp!A bubble broke in the magma lake, but it did
"We positively felt our physical properties being enhanced, Samsara? What happened?" asked Gao Mohan."Spirits and wraiths might be foul beings, but the Purplish Lotus Enchantment of Purification can do wonders by cleansing any foul aura that passes through it. In fact, one could argue that the sanctified aura is now fresh spiritual energy. That is why, upon consumption, you could feel yourselves being invigorated and strengthened. That is good news."All three of them heaved sighs of relief. Their journey into this place had been nothing but marvelous and weird. They had seen nothing of the like before, in spite of their being Immortal-leveled champions, and only after this explanation, they could finally breathe easily."Your mastery in the magic of enchantments really is impeccable and rare, my friend," Gao Mohan commented frankly, giving credit where it was due."Just a simple trick or two, that's all I'm good at."
Sapphire and Violet talked as they strode, although they never once let down their guard.But unbeknownst to them, Chu Xun was following right behind them. With his magic, they could never have known.Through halls and corridors, the women passed through until they reached a deserted corner of a remote chamber inside the castle. Violet looked around carefully to make sure no one was watching, then she quickly twisted an orange-glazed lamp hanging from a pillar.Rumble! The ground trembled and a portal opened at where a flat wall once stood.Sapphire and Violet peered around again cautiously before slipping inside and the door slowly slid shut.They did not see Chu Xun perching right at the top of the pillar. He had been there, watching every move they had made. He waited for minutes before he finally glided down and he twisted the glazed lamp.The stone door groaned open and Chu Xun dove insi
It would take a week for the Soul-curing Flower to reach full bloom.The castle was a figment of magic; an enchantment conjured by Periwinkle Sol. In fact, everything – including any non-existent servants and guards in the castle – were all contrivances of Periwinkle’s magic except for the sisters.Once again, Chu Xun felt awed by his magic.But more importantly, Scarlet no longer tried to stop Chu Xun from taking the Soul-curing Flower. But he would first have to defeat the Flaming Qilin first.Scarlet’s other sisters joined them. Chu Xun beheld the beauty and charms of all seven of them; they really were so gorgeous that true enough, kings and lords would gladly trade away their kingdoms and power for any of them."Violet, release those men," instructed Scarlet.Violet nodded, but before she could leave, Chu Xun stopped her.All seven of them were perplexed by this, but Chu Xun proffered no
Flaming Qilin, an ancient sacred beast, came to the stage with imposing momentum. In no time, he directly crushed the lower half of Hei Zong's body.Hei Zong howled miserably. His voice was as shrill as that of a crying ghost. Half of its body had been burnt into a cinder. Few could bear this kind of pain."How dare you eye on the Soul-Curing Flower. You are really courting death." Flaming Qilin's eyes, which were as formidable as a tiger's, glared around at the crowd with disdain.As an ancient sacred beast, Flaming Qilin indeed had something to be proud of. His cultivation was incredibly mighty. He undoubtedly had the qualifications to overlook all living things.It could be said that the giants of the six alien races were in a rather miserable state. Kong Liqun and Huang Hai had been seriously injured. Hei Zong had completely lost his fighting capacity."Brother Flaming Qilin." Zi Yan was not afraid of him. On the c
Boom!The impact from the Flaming Qilin colliding with the huge monolith quite literally whisked up a storm that swept over the entire grounds. Long and fearsome cracks elongated everywhere, spreading fear and panic.Chu Xun was genuinely surprised. He knew that the Flaming Qilin would be a formidable opponent, but he did not expect it to be able to sustain a blow from his Demon-slain Finger technique.An Eternal Phoenix Scripture technique!Screech! A phoenix's resonant cries pierced the sky, leaving the ears of everyone who heard it ringing. Up in the air, a huge fiery bird more than thirty meters long spread its wings, sending the entire vista into a purgatory of fire."How about this, Flaming Qilin!"Chu Xun thrust a finger into the air.The flaming phoenix let loose another ear-splitting screech, bringing with it a blazing inferno in its wake as it swooped down at the chimer
Chu Xun hiked up the hill to retrieve the three magical swords before collecting the Soul-curing Flower using his magic.He was anxious. Very, very anxious. For twenty years he had been searching for the Flower to revive Hua Qingwu and after so long, her long slumber inside the ice sarcophagus was finally coming to an end.The Flaming Qilin had left, unable to prevent Chu Xun.Gao Mohan and his fellow champions could offer no protests. Compared to the entire company of Lost Races champions who had been slain like dogs, they should at least be thankful that they were able to emerge at the end of this adventure with huge sums of magical supplies in their pockets."What about you? Would you like to come with me?" Chu Xun asked Scarlet.She nodded. "It is time. The blooming of the Flower marks the end of our watch."With the seven sisters in tow, Chu Xun, Gao Mohan, and their fellow human champions left the ru
