Chapter 695: National Treasure, Trap (2)

695 National Treasure, Trap (2)

The power that surpassed the top standards of the cultivation world made everyone drool.

Unfortunately, the spiritual qi had already been refined and could not be used directly.

However, everyone still tried their best to gather spiritual qi. Perhaps they could study a way to advance further.

“Continue to ring the bell!”

They were all very excited. Just the spiritual qi emitted was so powerful. How heaven-defying was the main body of that national treasure?

Jiang Li controlled the corpse of the Polar Mountain King and continued to ring the bell.

As the bell continuously sounded, this space began to tremble violently.

A large number of spiderweb-like cracks spread everywhere, and the entire Epang Palace seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

However, gradually, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

“Why does that smell make my hands tremble?”

An Earth Immortal who was collecting spiritual qi suddenly realized that his hand was not listening to him.

When he looked at it, he realized that his hand was trembling continuously.

As an Earth Immortal, he would always make others tremble wherever he went.

He had not felt such a tremble because of his instinctive fear for at least two thousand years!

Looking down, the deep well that was already covered in cracks and falling rocks from time to time suddenly gave him a terrifying feeling like he was in the eighteenth level of hell.

Swoosh!

Not only was the air around him trembling in fear, but an increasingly terrifying aura was also coming from the well.

“Something’s wrong! Is that really a national treasure?”

The sound of swallowing could be heard. Many people retreated warily and maintained a distance from the well.

“Something’s awake down there!”

The expressions on everyone’s faces froze from excitement to anticipation.

As the terrifying aura continuously surged out, a powerful divine sense suddenly stretched out from below and swept past everyone.

Jiang Li only felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His skin was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and a numbing feeling passed through his body.

Something swept past them with extremely invasive methods.

It was a hundred times stronger than a certain power or Essence Soul probing.

“That national treasure… could it be… a living thing!?”

“A living thing… could it be an artifact spirit? Perhaps it’s only a powerful artifact spirit?”

An Earth Immortal’s head was covered in a cold sweat as he tried to find a better possibility.

“No! It can’t be an artifact spirit!”

“There’s a monster down there! When my Essence Soul collided with that divine sense, I saw eight terrifying eyes!”

In the field, a monk was holding his eyes tightly. A large number of blood tears flowed down from the gaps between his fingers.

Jiang Li knew the person who spoke. He was an Earth Immortal-level monk cultivator who grasped the Buddhist divine art, Heavenly Eye.

Those eyes were as bright as stars and could destroy illusions.

Its profundity was not inferior to Jiang Li’s ears.

However, when he moved his palm away, the pair of Heavenly Eye eyes were already covered in fine cracks. The originally resplendent light had completely disappeared, becoming gray.

Earlier, he had only used his Heavenly Eye to investigate that divine sense, but this person’s eyes were actually about to go blind!

The thing under this deep well was definitely not good, nor was it a precious treasure that could allow one to ascend to the Immortal Dao!

“Stop the bell! This is a trap.”

“Damn it, this is not a national treasure! It was left behind by the Qin Dynasty! It’s their revenge to destroy everything!”

Previously, everyone from the Divine Judgment Hall had been blinded by their greed for the national treasure.

They might have thought of some possibilities, but for the sake of benefits, they instinctively ignored those dangers.

The so-called national treasure under this well was just like the temptation of Pandora’s box.

If he did not open it, he would not know what was below.

However, once it was opened, what was released could destroy the world!

No matter how patient a person was, how could they endure such temptation for a hundred years, two hundred years, a thousand years, or two thousand years?

Only then did they react.

This was a trap set up by the dead thousands of years ago!

In fact, when the divine sense swept past earlier, Jiang Li had already made his clone stop knocking.

However, the huge bell continued to ring deafeningly as if it had gone crazy.

Boom!

The ground beneath everyone’s feet was suddenly pushed up by something.

“Oh no, everyone, strengthen the seal together! We can’t let that thing below come out!”

The sudden change in the situation caught them off guard.

The Qin Dynasty’s move was really inexplicable.

For some reason, they had actually left such a monster in their core Epang Palace.

If it was a life and death situation, if only the Qin Emperor was trapped in the palace, he would ring the bell and release the things below to flip the table.

Even if the dynasty was destroyed and the Qin Emperor could not sound this bell, in the end, there was more than a 90% chance that this method would still be triggered.

This was because anyone who knew that the best and largest palace in the Immortal Qin Dynasty hid the most precious national treasure in the world would do everything they could to take it out.

This point was very accurate from the fact that the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Region had been in chaos because of this news.

Now, after more than five thousand years, most of the people from back then had already died. He did not expect that the final trap would still be personally opened by them.

Jiang Li cursed in his heart. He was really honored to have encountered such a thing!

He felt the increasingly terrifying dangerous aura below.

Everyone present seemed to have returned to being powerless ants. They were thrown onto a volcano that was about to erupt at any moment.

The spiritual perception of their Essence Souls alerted them crazily in the depths of their souls.

Jiang Li was clearly not injured at all, but he felt a sharp pain in his Essence Soul, as if countless steel needles were stabbing him.

This kind of soul-piercing alarm represented a possible fatal crisis.

This time, no one had the intention to hold back.

They all sealed the crack, the bell, and the well that was constantly erupting with spiritual qi.

Nine Nether! Earth Amber!

Arhat Suppression!

Nine Cauldron Spirit Subduing Technique!

Sea Border! Dark Frost Under the Moon!

Eight Treasures Blazing Flame Mystic Lock!

Heavenly Sorrow Plum Blossom Earth Thorn!

…

Jiang Li summoned a large number of roots that spread out and stretched into the shattered cracks. The roots secreted the Nine Nether Amber to seal it.

The 18 Earth Immortal monks transformed into golden Arhats together. They lay or sat on the ground in 18 different positions, suppressing the ground with their bodies.

Another nine three-legged cauldrons were thrown out by Concubine Yun of the Cloud Manor, suppressing the ground with the power of the Nine Palaces.

The Sea Palace, the Flame Dynasty, and the other experts also spared no effort to attack.

After a few breaths, the vibrations below finally slowed down.

The huge bell that was ringing non-stop was also sealed by ice and fire. The two forces no longer made a sound.

Everyone quietly froze on the spot, maintaining the posture of maintaining the seal. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Apart from Jiang Li, everyone else was above the Earth Immortal realm. Holding their breath for a month was nothing.

For a time, the air was silent until one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was tense as they sensed the situation below.

Although they had not seen the appearance of the thing below, the aura just now and the spiritual qi and divine sense that surpassed all of them were enough to make people tremble in fear.

Who would be willing to become enemies with such a monster?

“Was… was that enough?”

As time passed, an Earth Immortal could not endure the oppressive atmosphere and asked.

It was as if he had made a sound that broke the silence.

Jiang Li discovered that the dust by his feet suddenly jumped for some reason.

“This is… a heartbeat?”

The sound that came through the layers of seals was very weak, but Jiang Li still acutely sensed something.

Dong!

Two breaths later, there was a second muffled sound.

This time, the others heard it clearly.

It was indeed the heartbeat of a certain creature.

However, the beating sound made people feel deeply uneasy.

Then, there was a third and fourth sound. The heartbeat began to become stronger and faster.
