Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology - Chapter 472

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, looking at the jade in his hand calmly, and gently ran his fingertips across its surface, feeling the pure fluctuations of spiritual power.

He whispered:"The power contained in this jade is extremely pure, but also extremely strange. Since Chen Tianjun uses it as a medium to store energy, there must be other strongholds using similar jade. We must find these strongholds as soon as possible to completely dismantle his arrangements."

Yang Jian stood aside, his three-pointed, double-edged sword trembling slightly, his cold eyes fell on the jade, and his tone was steady:

"The Great Sage is right. The energy fluctuations in this jade seem to be related to the heavenly veins. Perhaps we can start from here and track down Chen Tianjun's other bases."

Sun Wukong nodded, carefully put away the jade, then looked up at the sky, and said firmly:"Let's go back to heaven!"

The three of them turned into three streams of light, rushing straight into the sky, and soon arrived at the South Gate of Heaven.

Li Jing had already received the news and was waiting here with a group of heavenly soldiers and generals.

Seeing Sun Wukong and the other two return, Li Jing stepped forward quickly, frowning slightly, with a hint of urgency in his tone:

Sun Wukong took out the jade from his arms and handed it to Li Jing:

"Chen Tianjun has indeed set up more than one place. We found this jade in a cave deep in the Kunlun Mountains. It seems to be a medium for storing energy. I'm afraid Chen Tianjun has similar bases in other places."

Li Jing took the jade, looked at it carefully for a moment, and gently rubbed the surface of the jade with his palm, feeling the pure and powerful energy fluctuations in it.

He nodded, his tone serious:

Yang Jian stepped forward and looked at Li Jing sternly, with a hint of decisiveness in his tone:"Li Tianwang, the energy fluctuations in this jade seem to be related to the heavenly veins. Perhaps we can trace the spiritual veins of the heavenly court and find the location of other jades."

Li Jing heard this and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes:"Yang Jian is absolutely right. I will mobilize the resources of Heaven and fully assist you in the investigation!"

At the same time, Taishang Laojun also rushed over, waved the whisk in his hand lightly, glanced at the jade, and frowned slightly:"The energy in this jade is extremely pure, but also extremely evil. Chen Tianjun was able to combine pure spiritual power with evil magic. His methods are indeed weird."

Sun Wukong looked at Taishang Laojun, with a hint of inquiry in his tone:"Laojun, can this jade be traced back through the spiritual veins?"

After saying this, Taishang Laojun turned and left, and returned a few moments later with an ancient instrument.

He placed the jade in the center of the ley line instrument, gently ran his fingers over the runes on the instrument, and then whispered a spell.

As the spell was chanted, the runes in the geomagnetic instrument gradually lit up, the energy fluctuations in the jade were rapidly amplified, and the pointer of the instrument began to slowly turn.

Taishang Laojun stared at the pointer, with a hint of caution in his tone:"The geomagnetic device has been activated. We just need to follow the direction of the energy fluctuations to find the location of the other jade stones."

"So what are we waiting for? Let's act now!"

At this moment, the needle of the geomagnetic instrument suddenly stopped and pointed to the east.

Taishang Laojun raised his eyebrows, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes:"The energy fluctuations come from Penglai Fairy Island."

Nezha's eyes flashed with excitement, and he gripped the Fire Spear tightly, with the flame on the tip of the spear dancing slightly:"Penglai Fairy Island? That's one of the three great fairy islands. How dare Chen Tianjun set up a base there!"

Sun Wukong nodded, his eyes swept over everyone, and his tone was full of determination:"Okay, Nezha, Yang Jian, the three of us will head to Penglai Island immediately. Li Tianwang, Laojun, the follow-up support from the Heavenly Palace will be left to you!"

Li Jing and Taishang Laojun nodded at the same time, and Li Jing said in a deep voice:"Don't worry, Great Sage. We will mobilize the heavenly soldiers and generals right away and be ready to support you at any time."

The three of them did not delay any longer and turned into three streams of light, heading straight for the Penglai Fairy Island.

Penglai Fairy Island is located on the coast of the East China Sea. It is surrounded by clouds and mist and filled with fairy air. It has always been one of the most mysterious fairy islands in the Three Realms.

Nezha frowned slightly, his eyes swept across the sky above the fairy island, with a hint of doubt in his tone:"Monkey, why is the spiritual energy of Penglai Fairy Island so chaotic? Could it be that Chen Tianjun has already taken action?"

Sun Wukong's eyes were stern, with a hint of vigilance flashing in them:"Something is wrong. The spiritual energy of Penglai Fairy Island has always been stable. Now it is so chaotic. I am afraid someone did it deliberately. We have to go to the island as soon as possible to check it out!"

The three of them quickly landed and stepped into the territory of the fairy island. The air on the island seemed to be frozen, the originally fresh spiritual energy became turbid, and the flowers, plants and trees around them also lost their vitality and looked extremely withered.

Yang Jian clenched his three-pointed double-edged sword, and glanced around, with a hint of vigilance in his tone:"This island has been infected by some force. We must proceed with caution."

Nezha responded, holding the Fire Spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickered slightly, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit:

"Okay, I'll be in charge of the east, Monkey, you'll be in charge of the west, and Yang Jian will be in charge of the south. We'll meet in the center of the island!"

The three of them quickly dispersed, each rushing off in different directions.

Nezha headed eastward, the flame on the tip of his spear particularly dazzling in the darkness. He carefully sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, and suddenly noticed an extremely secret energy fluctuation coming from deep underground.

He quickly locked onto the source of the energy fluctuations and found a hidden entrance covered by vines.

Nezha swung the Fire Spear without hesitation, and the flame from the tip of the spear instantly burned all the vines, revealing a deep underground passage behind it.

Nezha stood at the entrance of the passage, staring ahead with a sharp gaze. The passage was pitch black, and he could vaguely feel the cold and damp air blowing towards him, mixed with some powerful energy fluctuations.

He tightened the lance in his hand. The flame at the tip of the lance flickered slightly in the darkness, reflecting his stern face.

Nezha whispered to himself, a trace of caution between his brows. He did not hesitate and stepped into the passage. The ground under his feet was slippery, and every step made a slight sound of water.

The passage was silent, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing between the walls. After walking about ten feet, the air around him became increasingly cold, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him in the darkness.

Nezha gripped the flaming spear tightly and glanced around vigilantly. The flame at the tip of the spear illuminated a small area of ​​the surrounding scene.

"Huh, pretending to be a ghost."

The end of the passage gradually became apparent, and a huge underground space appeared in front.

The ceiling of the space is high, and the walls are covered with complex runes. The runes flicker with faint light, as if telling of some ancient forbidden power.

Nezha's gaze quickly swept across the entire space and finally stopped on the altar in the center.

The altar was made of black stone with a surface as smooth as a mirror. There were several crystal clear jade stones placed on the altar. Pure spiritual power flowed on the surface of the jade stones, but a strange black aura was faintly revealed.

Nezha frowned slightly, his eyes lingered on the jade for a moment, then he looked around, and after confirming that there were no other threats, he slowly walked towards the altar.

He stood in front of the altar, slightly raising the flaming spear in his hand. The flame at the tip of the spear flickered gently, reflecting the light flowing on the surface of the jade.

He reached out and gently touched one of the jade stones. The touch from his fingertips was as warm as jade, but with a disturbing hint of coldness.

"The spiritual power of this jade is extremely pure, but it coexists with that black energy. It's really weird."

He turned his head and looked around, and after confirming that there was no other movement, he returned his gaze to the jade.

"It seems that these jade stones are the key to Chen Tianjun's energy storage."

Nezha pondered for a moment, then took out a jade box that he had prepared long ago from his arms, took out the jade stones on the altar one by one, and carefully placed them into the jade box.

He quickly made some hand gestures and spiritual patterns appeared around the jade box. The patterns intertwined and formed a solid seal to prevent the spiritual energy in the jade from leaking out.

However, the moment he turned around, the runes around the altar suddenly lit up, and a powerful energy wave quickly spread in the space.

Nezha suddenly turned around, staring at the altar with sharp eyes, and quickly raised the fire spear in his hand. The flame at the tip of the spear suddenly surged, illuminating the entire space.

"Humph, there really is a backup plan!"

Nezha snorted coldly, with a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.

The black shadow gradually condensed into a human figure, which was Chen Tianjun's other soul.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Tianjun's soul let out a sinister laugh, the sound was hoarse and harsh.

"Nezha, I didn't expect you to find this place. Unfortunately, you are too late!"

However, before the flames could touch Chen Tianjun's soul, they were blocked by an invisible barrier and quickly dissipated.

Chen Tianjun's soul sneered:"Nezha, your flames can't hurt me."

Nezha's brows were tightly furrowed, and the fire spear in his hand trembled slightly. The flame at the tip of the spear looked particularly dazzling in the darkness.

He said coldly:"Chen Tianjun, your conspiracy has been discovered by us, just surrender."

Nezha did not respond, but gripped the Fire Spear tightly. The flame at the tip of the spear suddenly surged and turned into a fire dragon, rushing straight towards Chen Tianjun's soul.

The flames roared in the air, with scorching heat, as if they were going to engulf the entire space.

Chen Tianjun's soul raised his hand slightly, and a black aura surged out from his hand, instantly swallowing the flames.

He looked at Nezha, his eyes full of contempt:

Nezha's brows were tightly furrowed, the fire spear in his hand trembled slightly, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was gradually replaced by solemnity.

He took a deep breath and scanned the runes around the altar. Suddenly, his eyes lit up:"The layout of this altar... seems to be related to the forbidden techniques recorded in the Heavenly Court's scriptures."

He quickly took out a yellowed book from his arms and opened one of the pages. The lines of the runes were very similar to the runes on the altar.

"It seems that the runes on this altar require a specific spell to break."

His voice echoed in the space, the runes on the altar gradually lit up, and the black aura began to flow slowly, as if awakened by some power.

When Chen Tianjun's soul saw this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes:"This is impossible! How do you have the ability to decipher runes?"

Nezha did not respond, but the incantation in his mouth gradually became faster and faster. The runes on the altar spun rapidly, and the black aura was gradually suppressed.

He swung the flaming spear in his hand violently, and the flame at the tip of the spear turned into a dazzling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.

"Chen Tianjun, no matter how strong your black energy is, it cannot resist the power of heaven and earth!"

Nezha said in a cold voice, then swung the Fire Spear violently, and the beam of light instantly turned into countless light blades, heading straight for Chen Tianjun's soul.

The blade of light whistled in the air with unparalleled power, as if it was going to completely shatter all the darkness.

Chen Tianjun's soul tried to dodge, but the light blade was so fast that it surrounded him in an instant.

As Chen Tianjun's soul dissipated, the runes on the altar gradually dimmed, the black aura completely disappeared, and the entire underground space returned to calm.
