Five Immortals Gate

The mountain path below narrowed again, and the two needed to be even more careful when descending rapidly, lest they attract attacks from the black light vortex below.

Although the sky above was still filled with azure light, it flew straight over their heads.

Even though it could no longer reach their position, Li Yan still controlled the Kui Yi Dividing Water Thorns, continuing to spin them rapidly in front of him, transforming them into a shield of shadows to block the two behind.

He didn't know if those azure light attacks would be controlled by the little girl in the blood-red dress, suddenly changing direction and shooting over...…

After another dozen or so breaths, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Kui Yi Dividing Water Thorns in Li Yan's hand disappeared, and the sky above no longer emitted azure light from the light curtain.

The ear-piercing, sharp whistling sound that had been filling the heavens and earth vanished after the last wave of azure light was emitted, and the place instantly returned to its previous state of deathly silence.

This abrupt change from movement to stillness made the place even more filled with endless eeriness, and Li Yan could even hear Mei Hongyu's rapid heartbeat...…

"A very powerful restriction, we can't force our way through. Next, I'll try to break the restriction!"

Li Yan said, and from his voice, Mei Hongyu still heard an extraordinary calmness.

While Li Yan was speaking, his eyes were still looking upwards. His previous test was to see if he could force his way through.

Obviously, the feedback from forcing his way through was also very direct, which was that he would face the terrifying attacks from just now, which Li Yan could not withstand directly.

Li Yan said quickly, and the soreness and weakness in his arms were gradually recovering with the rapid flow of mana...…

Although the attacks just now were very dense, Li Yan felt a little relieved in his heart. The azure light attacks just now could not cause him a fatal blow.

Then he would have some confidence in breaking the restriction next. This way, if he failed, he would still have a chance to defend himself.

However, this was not absolute. Often, the eruption of a restriction during the breaking process would be more powerful than this kind of trigger-type attack.

It was like someone's bottom line being touched, and the intensity of the resistance would definitely be unprecedentedly sharp. In that situation, where the danger was doubled or multiplied, it could really kill him in an instant!

After Li Yan finished speaking, he walked forward. With a bottom line in mind, he still had some ways to break the restriction next.

Mei Hongyu felt her body temperature begin to recover at this time. The azure light, like sharp arrows, was too shocking. Even though she had confidence in Li Yan,

at the same time, she also offered protection, but the feeling of being in the middle of it, the pressure of death squeezing her to suffocation, still made her heartbeat accelerate, and her whole body sweat, and her mouth dry...…

This time, without Li Yan's careful instructions, she immediately followed. Mei Hongyu knew that after Li Yan saw that forcing his way through wouldn't work, he would use skill to break it!

The only thing she needed to do now was still not to let anyone suddenly launch a sneak attack. She would leave the other things to Li Yan. Mei Hongyu once again deeply felt her own weakness.

Li Yan decided to use the "Prison Break" technique as soon as he went up. This was his strongest restriction-breaking technique at present. As his cultivation level increased day by day, the power of this technique continued to increase.

As for the "Sky Stealing Cloth", which could also break restrictions, besides the fact that it was very strange some time ago, its current restriction-breaking function could no longer meet Li Yan's needs.

And at this moment, Li Yan's heart suddenly stirred. In his divine sense, there was actually some movement coming from the "Earth Patch".

The "Earth Patch" was closely connected to Li Yan. Almost in the next moment, Li Yan saw the source of the movement, which was the "Sky Stealing Cloth" that he had stored in a cave.

He had just thought of this thing, but at this time, it actually floated up automatically in the cave, and then began to constantly hit the sealed cave.

Many of Li Yan's precious things were sealed by him in different caves. As long as there was any movement in those seals, Li Yan would be able to sense it in the first time.

"Hmm?"

Li Yan's divine sense saw this scene and couldn't help but be stunned. The thought of this thing had just fallen, but he didn't plan to use this treasure first.

After all, the speed of the "Sky Stealing Cloth" in breaking high-level restrictions was even slower than a snail's pace, which made him, who was walking, suddenly stop.

"What's wrong? Young Master Li?"

Mei Hongyu saw that Li Yan had only taken a few steps after finishing speaking about breaking the restriction, but suddenly stopped, which made her heart panic and she quickly asked!

The various silent attacks that appeared here at any time had already made Mei Hongyu nervous. Any move by Li Yan would immediately make her think of an accident.

"Wait a moment, I'll carefully sense the azure light curtain above. If there are no more attacks, we'll go over!"

Li Yan replied quickly. Of course, he couldn't tell the truth. Mei Hongyu suddenly felt relieved. She didn't doubt it either.

They were about to return to the previous position. In view of the previous terrible attacks, it was normal for Li Yan to make a final confirmation.

While Li Yan was speaking, a wisp of divine sense had quickly entered the "Earth Patch", and soon came to the cave.

After this cave was sealed, the other creatures in the space could not find this place at all, and only Li Yan could enter and exit here normally.

The seal on the cave was of course also a kind of restriction, but this was in the "Earth Patch", and it was all personally arranged by Li Yan here, which was the supreme way of heaven.

Even if the "Sky Stealing Cloth" had a strange restriction-breaking power, it was still a magic weapon after all. Whether magic weapons were used for attack, defense, or restriction breaking,

The Li Yan phantom formed by divine sense quickly appeared in the cave. He looked at the "Sky Stealing Cloth" floating around quickly below, and many thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

This situation with the "Heaven Stealing Cloth" was the first time he had ever seen anything like it; it was as if it had suddenly gained intelligence.

“Could it be a problem from the last devouring? After this period, has the ‘Heaven Stealing Cloth’ already integrated those powers…?”

The last time, in the ice plains of the Northern Ice Continent, the “Heaven Stealing Cloth” devoured a considerable amount of red arc lightning, as well as the core of a goblin.

At that time, it had already caused some differences to appear on the silk threads inside it, but when Li Yan was testing it, he didn't discover that this object had been upgraded, or that there was anything abnormal.

At the time, he was afraid that there was a dormant artifact spirit inside the “Heaven Stealing Cloth.” If his divine sense entered, he would completely lose his way and be unable to find it, so he put it away.

However, the sudden appearance of this anomaly today, although Li Yan had some guesses last time, the sudden occurrence of such a thing still startled him.

Li Yan had never been able to figure out the origin of this magic weapon, and that inexplicable ability to break formations and release restrictions made Li Yan want to understand it even more.

When Li Yan didn't use it, the "Heaven Stealing Cloth" was always like a dead object. Now, one day, without anyone driving it, the "Heaven Stealing Cloth" suddenly floated up on its own.

This was not just a matter of its change, but it made Li Yan immediately think of something, something he was most unwilling to see…

“Is there really a once-severely injured artifact spirit inside it? After the last devouring, has it finally awakened today?”

Li Yan floated in the air, his pupils suddenly shrinking, looking at the "Heaven Stealing Cloth" that was still floating around randomly, he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

If everything was really as he guessed, then the hidden artifact spirit in the “Heaven Stealing Cloth” was definitely a terrifying existence.

Even if he had grown to this point, he might not necessarily be his opponent, because he couldn't see at all how the other party broke the restrictions.

Fortunately, the suspected artifact spirit, before this, may not have attacked him because of his serious injuries, and the “Heaven Stealing Cloth” was moved by him into the “Earth Spot”.

“…No, if there was a hidden artifact spirit inside, then it should have awakened when it devoured on the ice plains.

Otherwise, if it was only relying on instinct to devour, then when his divine sense entered to investigate, he should have discovered that those devoured powers would merge and converge in one direction.

That way, he would be able to follow and find the other party, but he didn't discover these anomalies at that time, that is to say, if there was an artifact spirit, the other party concealed everything because he was awake.

Once the other party discovered that he couldn't integrate the power in time after devouring, he didn't take any subsequent actions without being sure of dealing with him, the purpose was to wait for it to continue to integrate the power to recover.

Then, after the 'Heaven Stealing Cloth' entered the 'Earth Spot', with the ability of that artifact spirit, it should know that this is a storage space.

No matter how great its magical powers are, it won't forcibly break the space. Just the result of the space breaking is not something it can bear.

Even if it can survive in the turbulent space later, it doesn't know where it will be sent?

At the same time, this magic weapon has also been refined by me. As the artifact spirit of this object, it will definitely be affected. If it wants to kill me, it will also suffer a strong backlash, even death on the spot.

Then the best way to deal with me is, since you know that I may not be aware of its existence, then you can continue to hide, and then slowly plan…

I will definitely have a day to take out the 'Heaven Stealing Cloth', at that time, if it suddenly launches an attack, it will control me in one fell swoop.

Then, the refining mark on the 'Heaven Stealing Cloth' can be removed, and then I can be killed, instead of bumping around here like a soulless ghost.

Although this may also be done deliberately by it, just to make me feel that everything is inexplicable and think that the victory or defeat is due to other reasons.

But it also exposes the possibility of its existence. Compared to this, it is completely not worth the loss…

Thoughts flashed through Li Yan's mind, but at this moment, a faint desire came from his mind again, and the source was the "Heaven Stealing Cloth" that was floating around.

This is not a conscious exchange, but a special connection between the mind and the magic weapon after the cultivator refines it.

It is not easy for an artifact spirit to be born in a magic weapon. Except for the soul that is directly refined into it, it is very difficult for an artifact spirit to appear in a magic weapon itself.

That requires a long period of nurturing, so the normal refining of magic weapons is to make your mind have a mark-like connection with the magic weapon, which is also the main reason why cultivators can control magic weapons as they wish.

And in some cases where the level of the magic weapon is higher, it will also cause the phenomenon of psychic connection due to the long time of use after refining, even if the artifact spirit does not appear by itself.

This is precisely because some magic weapons have been with a certain cultivator for too long, and when the cultivator himself is in danger, the phenomenon of self-protection can occur, after all, this is a fairy treasure.

Li Yan judged that this was not a communication with intelligence, but a desire of the magic weapon itself.

This kind of desire is incomprehensible to others, but for Li Yan, who is the master of refining, he can understand what the other party is expressing at this moment.

The "Heaven Stealing Cloth" wants to go out, but the meaning expressed by the other party is only this simplest desire, and no more information is revealed to Li Yan.

This made Li Yan not know why the other party wanted to go out today? The expression on his face immediately became uncertain.

Is it true that the artifact spirit hidden in the "Heaven Stealing Cloth" deliberately did this, so that he seemed to see through the other party's plan, but in fact it was true and false, difficult to distinguish.

If he misjudged and let it go out, the consequences might be disastrous…

While Li Yan was thinking, the "Heaven Stealing Cloth" in the cave was floating faster and faster, seeming very anxious.

“Young Master Li, has there really been another problem?”
