The Secret Chamber and Senior Qingyun
Fang Hexuan rode the Divine Firmament Divine Lightning towards the giant claw, determined to prevent it from completely shattering the stone tablet.
Although the stone tablet is covered in cracks, its sealing power remains.
The power of the sealed demon was suppressed and could not be released for the time being, and they were not in a very dangerous environment.
However, if the stone tablet is destroyed, the Great Demon will break free from its seal, and their situation will be in grave danger.
Xie Zheng and Lu Xian immediately unleashed their full magical Law Power to kill the charging demon soldiers, helping Fang Hexuan and preventing him from being distracted.
In an instant, the Crimson Flame Saber burned with raging flames, and the power of Xuan Water condensed into countless ice arrows. The two of them, like two bolts of lightning of different colors, charged into the ranks of demonic soldiers.
Shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and the screams of demonic soldiers echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The power unleashed by the two far exceeded their usual strength, instantly killing countless demonic soldiers.
However, the number of demonic soldiers was simply too great; they poured out of the cracks like a tidal wave, and could not be exhausted.
Xie Zheng and Lu Xian could only do their best to hold on.
Fang Hexuan was already locked in combat with the giant claw.
The Divine Firmament Divine Lightning sometimes transformed into a pagoda, and sometimes into a long halberd, constantly blocking the giant claw from destroying the stone tablet.
The giant claw made several attempts, but all failed.
In an instant, surging demonic energy erupted once more. The owner of the giant claw looked furious, yet helpless.
In the distance, Li Yunjing watched as Fang Hexuan and the other two tried their best to stop them. He wanted to help, but he was powerless to do so.
If he were to help, he could only do so by killing some demonic soldiers or purifying the demonic energy.
He couldn't help with anything else.
The demonic soldiers seem endless, and the demonic energy is impossible to completely purify.
As long as that great demon is not eliminated, the demonic soldiers and demonic energy will continue to exist.
Li Yunjing forced himself to calm down; he wanted to see what could change the current situation.
However, Li Yunjing found that the current situation seemed to be a deadlock.
The only way to completely eliminate the current situation is to kill the Great Demon.
But now, the seal has only loosened, and the great demon releasing a portion of its power has already made them break out in a cold sweat.
Wanting to kill the Great Demon? That's just a pipe dream.
If the great demon isn't killed, the situation will remain at a stalemate.
If this goes on for too long, and their Law Power is exhausted, Li Yunjing and the others will be in danger!
Just then, the voice of the Five Spirits Lord rang in Li Yunjing's mind.
"Young master, there's something unusual in the southwest direction."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing immediately looked towards the southwest direction.
Li Yunjing didn't see anything.
However, Li Yunjing still trusted Five Spirits Lord, so he flew in that direction.
A moment later, Li Yunjing suddenly felt the space in front of him distort, and the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.
Fang Hexuan and the others did not notice that Li Yunjing had disappeared; they were focused on dealing with the situation at hand.
At this moment, Li Yunjing arrived at a secret room.
The interior of the secret chamber is not large, only a few dozen feet square, and the walls on all sides are covered with High Antiquity murals.
Li Yunjing calmly observed his surroundings and found no danger.
He took a deep breath and then began to examine the murals on the wall.
The mural depicts a simple scene: a group of people battling a hideous demon.
"Is this the great demon that was sealed away?" Li Yunjing wondered to himself.
After looking at the murals, Li Yunjing looked at the center of the secret room, where there was a stone platform with an antique wooden box on it.
Reaching the stone platform, Li Yunjing silently asked the Five Spirits Lord, "Can you sense any danger?"
"There is no danger," Five Spirits Lord replied confidently.
Hearing this, Li Yunjing felt relieved and reached out to open the wooden box.
The wooden box contained no earth-shattering treasures, only a yellowed bamboo scroll and a crystal-clear blue gemstone.
Li Yunjing picked up the bamboo slip, unfolded it, and saw that it contained the handwriting of a powerful figure from the Qingyun Clan.
He quickly browsed through the pages, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.
The bamboo slips contain a detailed record of how the great demon was sealed away, as well as the contingency plans left behind by this senior Qingyun Clan.
It turns out that the Qingyun Clan elders knew that the Great Demon could not be completely killed and would one day break free from its seal.
Therefore, at the core of the seal, he left behind a remnant of his soul and sealed the power of the Azure Wood Origin he had cultivated throughout his life within this azure crystal.
Therefore, by breaking this cyan crystal, his remnant soul can be summoned.
His remnant soul could then strengthen the seal, allowing the great demon to be sealed away for a longer period.
After reading it, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the seal can be strengthened again to prevent the great demon from causing further chaos, that will be enough.
Killing the Great Demon is not Li Yunjing's current objective.
Just as Li Yunjing was about to pick up the cyan crystal, an old yet gentle voice suddenly rang out in the secret chamber:
"My child, you've finally come."
Li Yunjing suddenly looked up and saw a blurry blue figure slowly emerging from the stone platform.
The figure had white hair and beard, wore a blue robe, and had a closed vertical eye between his brows. He exuded an aura of vastness and antiquity.
"You are... the senior from the Qingyun Clan who sealed the Great Demon?" Li Yunjing asked in surprise.
The figure in blue nodded, looking at Li Yunjing with kind eyes. "That's right, my name Qingyun Neng."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing quickly bowed and said, "Junior Li Yunjing greets Senior!"
The Grandmaster Qingyun waved his hand, a bitter smile appearing on his face, "No need for formalities, I am merely a remnant soul, I cannot hold on much longer."
Li Yunjing looked at Qingyun Neng and immediately asked, "Senior Qingyun, we did not touch the seal, so why was that great demon still able to be born?"
"The reason why the Great Demon's seal was loosened ahead of schedule was not because of the passage of time, but because someone deliberately sabotaged it from the outside." Qingyun Neng's face showed even more bitterness.
Li Yunjing was shocked. "What? Someone deliberately broke the seal? Who was it?"
Qingyun Neng's expression turned extremely solemn. "This person is one of our own people. You should have met him before; he is from the Biyuan People."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's eyes widened immediately. "Zhi Qianshu!"
Speaking of Biyuan People, Li Yunjing could only think of Zhi Qianshu he had met not long ago.
Qingyun Neng said, "I don't know his name, but I think it should be the person you're talking about."
He had entered the Myriad Spirits Ruins of Return and arrived here, where he destroyed the seal.
Unfortunately, I am merely a remnant soul. The power I accumulated was meant to reinforce the seal of the Great Demon, so when he wreaked havoc, I could only watch helplessly.
Li Yunjing took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that Zhi Qianshu, together with those three alien races, had all fabricated a lie to deceive him.
The Myriad Spirits Ruins of Return is not accessible to Great Qiu People alone.
As for Zhi Qianshu's purpose in doing this, Li Yunjing thought there was only one possibility: to revive the first ancestor of the Biyuan People.
"Just you wait..." Li Yunjing made a mental note of this.
This Biyuan People had left behind many contingency plans in order to revive themselves.
In order to revive himself, he has even resorted to any means necessary and disregarded everything else.
Li Yunjing will make him pay the price sooner or later!
"Not only that, but there were six other people besides me who accompanied me to suppress the demon back then, and the other six also left behind backup plans and remnants of their souls."
But as time passed, their remnants of souls were erased one by one by this person, and any remaining tricks they had up their sleeves were completely destroyed.
"Now, only my remnant soul and this Azure Wood Origin Crystal remain," Qingyun Neng added at this moment.
