Chapter 74
After that, Black began to break the Glass Bead. Lyu Liang came out of the room and with great interest, began to observe the surrounding landscape.
The back hill was not big, but it was actually a place surrounded by mountains on three sides. The only entrance, usually prohibited, was impossible for anyone except those who held the master keepsake, to pass.
What interested Lyu Liang most, was the colorful barrier behind the house. It was a bare barrier, up and down, left and right, with nothing, just like a ripple suspended in the air.
Lyu Liang was curious. Since Yang Ying had not said that the barrier could not be touched, it showed that there would be no danger. He reached out and touched it gently. The next moment, his arm crossed the colorful barrier and appeared on the other side. Lyu Liang simply brought his whole body across and there was no strange feeling.
"Black, can you help me see what the barrier is? Is it a barrier or a formation?" Lyu Liang consciously told himself that the reason he was brought here, was absolutely related to this barrier.
"There’s a very good restriction formation here and there’s something else in it. I can help you get in. But wait a minute. Since I saw you, I felt like I was being spied on and not only from one place. I have to put a formation that shields divine sense here." After Black finished, Lyu Liang felt silky black gas streams coming out of Black’s body. After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Black’s voice echoed again, "It’s done, let’s go!"
Lyu Liang did not hesitate to step into the multicoloured barrier, but this time he did not cross it, but disappeared directly.
When Lyu Liang crossed the barrier, he suddenly had the feeling that there was something familiar about it. By the time it became clearer, he was already in a dark cave.
"Well, what’s that?" Lyu Liang suddenly found a pool not far ahead, which was not that big as it could only sit one person at most. Surprisingly, in the dark environment, the water in the pool emitted a faint blue light. Meanwhile, it seemed that there were wisps of hot steam constantly rising up from it.
"Little Liang, look at the stone wall behind the pool!" Black’s voice suddenly rose a degree and there was a tremor of surprise in it.
Lyu Liang looked up and glanced at it. On the stone wall, he saw nine words "Five-Element Secret Treasure Heaven-Hell Water" engraved deeply and forcefully.
Lyu Liang was dumbfounded or it should be said that he went gaga after this huge surprise! It was something like when he was sleepy and someone immediately sent pillows to him. According to what senior Feng Li said, the Five-Elements Secret Treasure was the most mysterious and rarest thing in the world. How could someone have prepared it for him when he had only just arrived at Pangu Origin World?
"Little Liang, I will lose control of the outside barrier and cannot support it for long. After four hours at most, we have to exit, or we’ll be exposed! Before enemies and friends can be distinguished, it would be better to be cautious in such a place where people are not familiar with each other. Didn’t the old man Feng Li give you a scroll? Look at it first!" Black’s voice sounded very urgent. It seemed that it was more important for Lyu Liang to know the function of the Heaven-Hell Water.
Lyu Liang tapped his head and a blue scroll unfolded. Then he read it carefully. On the scroll was written the secret technique of how to achieve the fully activated state of the five-element body!
Lyu Liang’s present situation belonged to the "semi-activated" state. Only by absorbing and refining five five-element Secret treasures would he be able to reach a state of "fully activated". Although it was still not an "immortal body", the powerful functions made Lyu Liang salivate profusely.
However, the five kinds of treasures were all things that could not be found easily in the world. Specifically, they were: Heaven-Hell Water, Illusory Fire, Purple Electrical Gold, Dirty-Evil Soil and Mysterious Meteorite Wood.
The characteristics of each material were described on the scroll. The Heaven-Hell Water was like what Lyu Liang saw,
Five kinds of materials, except the Dirty-Evil Soil only existed in the devil realm; the other four kinds could be found in any realm.
Finally, the refining methods of each secret treasure were introduced on the scroll. It stated that as long as Lyu Liang had the ability to collect five kinds of five-element treasures, the five-element body in the state of "fully activated" would come into being.
After Lyu Liang took up the scroll, he sighed slightly and felt a bit helpless: "These things I have never heard of and I need to find in what year and what month! It seems that in the future, we need to go out and shop more. Some people may know about these things. If ready-made ones can be exchanged, it would be wonderful!"
After understanding this, Lyu Liang did not think about it anymore. After all, time was precious. It was better to refine the Heaven-Hell Water present.
Lyu Liang never thought about it. "This was the place of Zi Tong Sect. Without the landlord’s permission, could he do it by himself?"
It was just that he was so familiar with the feeling here. Especially those big characters that were clearly engraved by a powerful figure of Sword Tao with such strength. Every stroke showed threads of sword qi and the strength of the strokes was just right. Most surprisingly, these nine characters were all in one. There was also a set of swordsmanship hidden in them. If it wasn’t for the urgent refinement of the Heaven-Hell Water, Lyu Liang almost wanted to look more carefully at those characters!
After stabilizing his mind, Lyu Liang began to refine it according to the instructions written on the scroll. The method was very simple, he directly entered into it and as long as the refinement lasted for two hours, it would be successful! At the same time, it would also activate the powerful effects of the five-element body in the water system.
Lyu Liang’s eyes showed his excitement and he flashed away. The next moment, his whole body was already immersed in the pool. To Lyu Liang’s surprise, the pool was very deep. When Lyu Liang sat at the bottom of the pool, his head was already submerged in the water, about six meters away from the surface of the water.
About 90 minutes later, a tragic cry rang. Lyu Liang jumped out of the pool, gritting his teeth and cried out: "I’m being burnt to death! Dying! 90 minutes seems to be the limit at present. I was just thinking how is it that such a treasure can be so easily refined!"
At this time, Black also emerged from the top of Lyu Liang’s head, as if thinking about something. After a moment, it said slowly: "Little Liang, the water is weird. I have a hunch that when you succeed in your refinement, I may never be able to lodge in your soul again!"
Lyu Liang was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Ah? So, what about that? How can I activate the Shadow-devil Domain if you can’t blend with my soul?!"
Black appeared very calm and said unconcernedly: "I’m just saying that I can’t stay in your soul. I’m not saying that you can’t undergo the unity of human and beast! I’ve always been in your soul, at first because I was afraid of exposure and then I got used to it after a long time! I was on her shoulder when I accompanied Feiwu! Anyway, at that time I was the mythological beast of Xuanli clan and I was not afraid of what other people thought."
"Oh, you should have mentioned it earlier, you are making me a little confused. If it’s really a conflicting issue, then I really have to think about it." Lyu Liang was relieved and then said, "I have a cave house here. You can go in if you want. Or you could lie on my shoulder. Anyway, nobody knows who you are in this big world."
Black thought about it and nodded, saying "Then it’s better to lie on your shoulders. Anyway, I can rely on the barrier not to show on general days."
After the discussion, Black went back to work on the glass bead and Lyu Liang simply concentrated on those characters.
Two hours later, Lyu Liang’s eyes gradually blurred, as slowly, a whole person seemed to have been integrated into the "five" word. Inside, he saw the vague shadow of a white-robed man, who was now practising his moves with his sword.
Every time the white-robed man performed that style, there would be a destructive aura emerging. Although Lyu Liang could stand it, he was deeply shocked. Suddenly he recognized that the gesture seemed to be a form of powerful swordsmanship!
A sword in the hand of the man in a white robe was thrown into the air at will. Then, ten identical swords appeared around the sword and rained down on the ground below. Look at the style, it was almost the same with Lyu Liang’s Linghuang Sword Essence! But its power, was obviously stronger!
Linghuang Sword Essence also made dozens of swords smash downwards. But if they simply smashed downwards, they could only exert damage on the area directly below. And this sword array, after hitting the ground, the swords obviously caused an impact on the area of about 30 meters wide!
Lyu Liang was so fascinated by this! It was not until Black forced him to awaken in his soul that he reluctantly gave up focusing on the enlightenment. At the moment when his consciousness left the word "five", a buzzing sound came into his soul, "The first style of the Heaven-burning Sword Formation, Sword Control Formation."
Lyu Liang knew that it must be time for the barrier outside to disappear, that was why Black had to interrupt him. Before leaving here, Lyu Liang kowtowed three times respectfully to the nine characters and at the same time he said aloud: "Thank you seniors, for granting me access to this sword array! Tomorrow, this junior will come back to study again!"
Returning to his house, Lyu Liang had a little difficulty in calming his excitement. Unexpectedly, there was such a huge opportunity in such a small non-influx sect. It seemed that his plan needed to be adjusted slightly. Originally, he had planned to leave as soon as he was restored, but now it was necessary to refine the Heaven-Hell Water. Besides, it was better that this sword formation could be taken away with him; It would be even more perfect!
At this time, the horizon turned slightly white. Lyu Liang suddenly went into a trance and he fell headlong into the bed. Half an hour later, he woke up in a leisurely way and the hint of foolishness was there again in his eyes, saying: "It’s dawn, Ying’er is coming!"
……………………
In front of the main hall of Zi Tong Sect, the white-haired woman stared at the tall figure standing not far from the sect gate, her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness. As the day grew brighter, she reluctantly stepped into the hall.
Slowly, there were more disciples near the main hall, but no matter what they did, they would always bow three times when they came near the statue.
This was a statue of a man in a white robe. The man had his hands crossed at the back. There was a semi-golden mask on his face and his two gleaming eyes seemed to be looking at the rising sun. On his shoulder, a black cat was sitting quietly and its eyes were also full of brilliant light.
