Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology - Chapter 470
Chapter 470
Nezha rode on the clouds at full speed, the wind whistled past his ears, and the clouds under his feet glowed with a faint golden light under the sunlight.
His eyes were fixed on the front, with only one thought in his mind - to find the "Secret Valley" as soon as possible and bring back the "Pure Spirit Jade".
The outline of the Kunlun Mountains gradually appeared in the field of vision. The rolling peaks were like a giant dragon, and the clouds and mist lingered, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Nezha did not stop and flew directly into the depths of the mountains.
His figure was as fast as lightning, passing through layers of sea of clouds, and finally stopped above a deep valley.
"Secret Valley..."
Nezha muttered softly, his eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find any clues of the entrance.
He slowly landed in front of a steep rock wall, which was covered with moss and vines, looking extremely desolate.
However, Nezha keenly sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, which came from behind the rock wall.
"It's really here!"
A hint of excitement flashed in Nezha's eyes, and then he swung the broken spear. The flame at the tip of the spear suddenly rose up and chopped down towards the rock wall.
"boom!"
The rock wall was split by the flames, revealing a deep passage behind it.
The passage was pitch black, and one could faintly hear the whistling of the wind in the passage, as if someone was whispering.
Nezha stepped into the passage without hesitation. The broken spear in his hand emitted a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.
As he moved forward, the passage became wider and wider, and some ancient runes began to appear on the surrounding rock walls. The light of the runes flickered in the darkness, as if telling of some ancient power.
"Chen Tianjun's arrangements are quite in-depth."
Nezha sneered, but his steps became more determined.
At the end of the passage is a huge underground space. The surrounding rock walls are covered with dense runes. An altar is vaguely formed in the center of the runes. A crystal clear jade is suspended on the altar, emitting pure spiritual energy.
"Pure Spirit Jade!"
Nezha's eyes narrowed and he walked forward quickly.
However, just as he was about to approach the altar, the runes around him suddenly flashed with strong light, and a powerful backlash force suddenly erupted, heading straight for Nezha.
"Humph, you dare to stop me with just the backlash force?"
Nezha snorted coldly, and the flame of the broken spear suddenly burst out, turning into a fire dragon, rushing straight towards the backlash force.
"boom!"
The flames and the backlash force collided violently, shaking the entire underground space.
The backlash force was suppressed by the flames, and the flickering of the runes gradually weakened.
Upon seeing this, Nezha rushed to the altar without hesitation and reached out to take down the "Pure Spirit Jade".
When the jade is in hand, a warm touch is felt, as if endless pure spiritual energy is flowing within it.
"It's indeed a good thing!"
Nezha raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then took out a jade box that had been prepared long ago from his arms and carefully placed the "Pure Spirit Jade" in it.
He quickly performed a magic spell, and spiritual patterns appeared around the jade box. The spiritual patterns intertwined to form a solid seal to prevent the spiritual energy of the "Pure Spirit Jade" from leaking out.
"mission completed!"
Nezha put away the jade box, glanced around, and after confirming that there were no other threats, he turned and left the underground space.
He returned along the same route. The runes in the passage had been burned by his flames, and there was no longer any obstruction.
After walking out of the passage, Nezha rode on the clouds and rushed towards the heaven.
The clouds passed quickly under his feet and the sunlight shone on his face, reflecting a firm and confident look.
Nezha knew in his heart that bringing back the "Pure Spirit Jade" was only the first step, and the next battle would be the real test.
He held the jade box tightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes:"Chen Tianjun, your conspiracy will eventually be completely crushed by us!"
After leaving the secret valley, Nezha's speed became even faster.
He rode the wind, with clouds rolling under his feet, like a giant silver dragon, winding and shuttling over the Kunlun Mountains.
The rolling mountains below turned into blurred green lines during the rapid flight.
The sunlight was strong, shining on the jade box, reflecting off little bits of light.
In the Hall of Qitian, Sun Wukong took the jade box handed to him by Nezha and gently stroked the surface of the box with his fingertips, as if he could feel the pure spiritual energy emanating from the "Pure Spirit Jade" inside the jade box.
He looked up at Nezha, with a hint of approval in his eyes:"Well done, Nezha. With this 'Purifying Spirit Jade', the evil spirit in my body can finally be cleared."
Nezha grinned, clenched his fists, and looked a little proud:
"Monkey, you owe me a favor now! When you recover, you must treat me to a good drink!"
Sun Wukong smiled and nodded, then his expression became serious. He lightly flicked his finger and the lid of the jade box slowly opened.
A soft light shone through the box, and pure spiritual energy instantly spread. The surrounding air seemed to be washed and became extremely fresh.
"It is indeed a treasure of heaven and earth."
Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the "Pure Spirit Jade" in the box.
The jade was crystal clear, and there seemed to be liquid flowing inside. The purity of the spiritual power was so great that even he was slightly shocked.
He gently placed his palm on the jade, and immediately felt a gentle force flowing into his body through his palm. The black energy in his body began to become restless as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
Sun Wukong's eyes focused, and he immediately activated the spiritual power in his body, using the "Pure Spirit Jade" as a medium, and began to guide the power of heaven and earth to merge with his own spiritual power.
He sat cross-legged, and a faint golden light gradually appeared around his body. The golden light intertwined with the light of the "Pure Spirit Jade" to form a soft halo.
As time went by, the black air in Sun Wukong's body was gradually suppressed, and wisps of black air overflowed from his body and dissipated into the air like smoke.
Nezha stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, watching Sun Wukong's every move.
Seeing the black air gradually dissipate, he frowned slightly and whispered to himself:"This black energy is really weird. It can even make monkeys feel troubled. Where did Chen Tianjun get such a weird thing?"
Yang Jian appeared at the side at some point. He held a three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand and watched the changes in Sun Wukong's body with a cold gaze.
Hearing Nezha's whisper, he said in a deep voice:"Chen Tianjun's methods have always been treacherous, and this matter is probably far from over. We must find his remaining forces as soon as possible and completely eliminate the hidden dangers."
Nezha nodded, holding the broken spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes:"Once the monkey recovers, we will take action immediately. We must not let this old thief have a chance to catch his breath!"
The black energy in Sun Wukong's body finally dissipated completely under the suppression of the "Pure Spirit Jade".
He slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of fatigue in his expression, but more of determination.
He stood up, stretched his muscles, and his body had completely recovered.
"Thank you both very much."
Sun Wukong looked at Nezha and Yang Jian with a hint of gratitude in his tone.
Then, his eyes became sharp and he said in a deep voice:
"The remaining forces of Chen Tianjun must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles. We will act separately and make sure to find their base in the shortest possible time." Yang Jian nodded, his eyes grim:"What the Great Sage said is absolutely right. I will be responsible for mobilizing the heavenly soldiers and generals to block all the important roads to prevent them from escaping."
Nezha gripped the broken spear tightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit:
"Monkey, I'll go with you. Let's work together to completely crush their conspiracy!"
Sun Wukong smiled slightly and patted Nezha on the shoulder:
"Okay, let's go!"
The three of them made their decision after discussion and immediately went their separate ways.
Sun Wukong and Nezha turned into two streams of light and headed straight for Chen Tianjun's former stronghold.
The stronghold was located in a deep valley, surrounded by fog, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach.
As the two stepped into the valley, the fog around them quickly dissipated, as if it was dispelled by some force.
Deep in the valley, a ruined temple was looming. The temple was covered with complex runes, and a cold aura was faintly revealed in the runes.
"It seems like this is it."
Sun Wukong whispered, his eyes fixed on the palace.
He walked forward slowly, and the golden cudgel in his hand emitted a faint light, dispelling the darkness around him.
When the two stepped into the palace, the air around them suddenly became oppressive, as if countless pairs of eyes were secretly watching them.
Nezha snorted coldly, and the flame from the broken spear suddenly erupted, instantly illuminating the entire palace.
"Chen Tianjun, your lair has been discovered by us, why don't you come out and die!"
Nezha shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the palace, but the only response he got was dead silence.
Sun Wukong frowned slightly and swept his eyes across the temple. Suddenly, he noticed a strange rune on the ground in the center of the temple. A circular pattern was vaguely formed in the center of the rune, which seemed to hide some mechanism.
He walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the rune. The rune shook slightly, and then made a low humming sound.
"careful!"
Sun Wukong growled and pulled Nezha back quickly.
As the runes rotated, the ground slowly cracked, revealing a deep tunnel behind it.
The tunnel was pitch black, and low humming sounds could be faintly heard, as if something was stirring deep in the tunnel.
Nezha held the broken spear tightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit:"It seems that Chen Tianjun has a backup plan. Monkey, let's go down and take a look!"
Sun Wukong nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised:
"Well, I want to see what other shameful things this old thief has hidden!"
The two men stepped into the tunnel without hesitation, and the weapons in their hands emitted a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.
The tunnel became wider and wider, and the walls were covered with complex runes, which vaguely revealed an ancient and forbidden power.
Sun Wukong clenched his golden cudgel, his eyes full of vigilance:
"This tunnel is not simple, be careful."
Nezha nodded, the flame of the broken spear flickered slightly, and he whispered:“Monkey, the aura of this tunnel is very strange. It seems to be somewhat similar to the black air deep in the underworld.”
Sun Wukong did not respond, but just quickened his pace.
The two walked forward until the tunnel finally came to an end. A huge underground space appeared in front of them. In the center of the space, an ancient altar stood proudly.
The altar was surrounded by complicated runes, the light of the runes flickered in the darkness, as if telling of some ancient forbidden power.
Sun Wukong and Nezha stepped into the secret room under the altar. The air was filled with a smell of decay, as if no one had stepped into it for many years.
The walls of the secret room were engraved with ancient runes, through which a faint glow shone, as if telling some forbidden secret.
The two looked around vigilantly, and finally their eyes fell on the huge crystal ball floating in the center of the secret room.
The crystal ball was two people tall, and its surface was engraved with complicated runes. A faint black aura emanated from the runes, and it seemed to be slowly flowing with life.
The dark energy emanating from the crystal ball made people feel an invisible sense of oppression, as if even the air had become heavy.
Sun Wukong frowned slightly, staring fiercely at the crystal ball, and gently waved the golden hoop in his hand, and a faint light appeared on the stick:"This crystal ball... seems to have the same origin as Chen Tianjun's black energy."
Nezha took a few steps closer, his eyes filled with inquiry, the flaming spear in his hand trembling slightly:
"Monkey, this crystal ball is not simple. We have to be careful."
Sun Wukong nodded, walked slowly forward, and tentatively touched the surface of the crystal ball with his golden cudgel.
"Om-!"
At the moment when the golden hoop touched the crystal ball, the crystal ball suddenly vibrated violently, and the black aura in the rune suddenly burst out, forming a powerful shock wave that rushed straight towards the two of them.
Sun Wukong reacted extremely quickly. He quickly put away his stick and retreated, rolling in the air and landing steadily.
Nezha also retreated quickly, holding the Fire Spear across his body. The flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly, blocking the remaining power of the shock wave.
"What a powerful counterattack!"
Nezha frowned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This crystal ball not only has strong defensive capabilities, but can also actively counterattack."
Sun Wukong steadied himself and stared at the crystal ball with a stern look:"It seems that this crystal ball is Chen Tianjun's last resort. We must act with caution."
Nezha was not willing to be outdone, he raised his lips, his eyes burning with fighting spirit:
"Humph, since external forces can't destroy it, then let me try my flames!"
He swung the flaming spear violently, and the flame at the tip of the spear instantly turned into a fire dragon, rushing straight towards the crystal ball.
The flames roared in the air, lighting up the entire secret room.
However, as soon as the flame touched the crystal ball, it was quickly absorbed by the black aura in the rune, like a drop in the ocean, without any movement.
Seeing this, Nezha frowned, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was gradually replaced by solemnity:"Even my flames can't shake it!"
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly, and scanned the runes on the crystal ball carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up:"These runes... seem to be related to the forbidden techniques recorded in the books of the underworld."
He quickly took out the yellowed book from his arms and opened one of the pages. The lines of the runes were strikingly similar to the runes on the crystal ball.
Sun Wukong whispered:
"It seems that a specific spell is required to activate this crystal ball."
Nezha took a step closer and looked at the book with a hint of doubt in his eyes:"Monkey, can you decipher these runes?"
Sun Wukong nodded, and his fingers gently ran over the runes on the page, with a flash of thought in his eyes:
"The scriptures mentioned that these runes are an ancient sealing technique that can only be unlocked or activated with the correct spell."
He took a deep breath, fixed his eyes on the crystal ball again, and began to chant the spell recorded in the book in a low voice.
As his voice echoed in the secret room, the runes on the crystal ball gradually lit up, and the black aura began to flow slowly, as if awakened by some power.
