Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology - Chapter 475

"The direction of this geo-pulse detector... is a little strange."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Normally, the negative energy of the netherworld would interfere with the operation of the geo-pulse instrument, but this needle is unusually stable, as if it is attracted by some force."

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, a golden light flashed in his flaming eyes, and he looked in the direction of the pointer.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes:"It seems that what we are looking for is hidden deep in this fog."

Upon hearing this, Nezha clenched his flaming spear, the flame on the tip of the spear flickering slightly, reflecting the fighting spirit in his eyes:

"Monkey, are you saying that the ancient artifact is still in there?"

Sun Wukong nodded, his eyes sharp as a knife:

He paused, his tone serious.

"The direction of the earth vein instrument is so stable, which means that the artifact has some connection with the earth vein."

Yang Jian raised the geomancer and carefully looked at the direction indicated by the needle, then looked up at Sun Wukong:

“Great Sage, if that artifact is related to the earth veins, we must find it as soon as possible, otherwise, the remaining forces of Chen Tianjun may continue to use it to plot.”

The three of them stepped into the depths of the fog again. The yin energy around them was even denser than before, as if countless ghosts were wandering around, making low groaning sounds.

There was a suffocating smell in the air.

Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel slightly, and a faint glow emanated from the cudgel, driving away the surrounding negative energy.

His gaze was fixed straight ahead, his piercing eyes piercing through layers of fog, searching for any trace of the artifact.

His three-pointed, double-edged sword trembled slightly, and the runes on the blade glowed faintly, as if warning the surrounding ghosts not to get close.

Nezha walked at the end, the flame of his flaming spear was particularly dazzling in the darkness. The flame at the tip of the spear cut through the fog, leaving behind a trail of burning marks.

"The fog is getting thicker. I'm afraid the artifact is just ahead."

Yang Jian whispered, his eyes fixed on the pointer, which was still pointing steadily into the depths of the fog.

The three continued to move forward, and the surrounding negative energy gradually condensed into black barriers, trying to block their progress.

Sun Wukong snorted coldly and swung his golden cudgel violently. The golden light split the black air barrier like a sharp sword, and part of the fog in front of him dissipated immediately.

Upon seeing this, Yang Jian suddenly thrust out his three-pointed, double-edged sword. The blade drew an arc and completely dispelled the remaining negative energy.

"This is it."

The three of them approached the stone platform and saw a piece of crystal clear jade suspended on the platform. Pure light was flowing on its surface, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding yin energy.

However, a dark aura emanated from the center of the jade, as if it was corroded by some force.

"Is this the ancient artifact?"

Nezha frowned and clenched the Fire Spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickering slightly.

"Yes, this is the artifact that Chen Tianjun tried to devour. This jade has some connection with the earth veins of the heavenly court and contains powerful power, but..."

He paused, his tone serious.

“The black energy in the jade…I’m afraid it’s the remaining power of Chen Tianjun.”

Yang Jian raised his three-pointed, double-edged sword, pointed the blade at the jade, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes:"Great Sage, we must deal with this jade as soon as possible, otherwise, Chen Tianjun's remaining power may use it to revive."

He stretched out his hand, a faint glow emanating from his palm, and tried to touch the jade.

However, just as his fingers were about to touch the jade, the jade suddenly burst out with a powerful black energy, shaking his hand away.

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:"The black energy in this jade is so stubborn."

Upon seeing this, Yang Jian quickly performed a magic spell and swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword violently. The blade drew a dazzling arc and went straight to the jade.

"No, brute force alone cannot break this black gas barrier."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Nezha gripped the Fire Spear tightly, and the flame at the tip of the spear suddenly exploded, transforming into a fire dragon that pounced straight at the jade.

The flames roared in the air, carrying with them scorching heat, trying to completely burn the black air.

"This black energy is more powerful than I imagined."

Nezha frowned, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, then raised his head with a look of determination in his eyes:“Perhaps, we can use the power of the earth veins in the heaven to completely dispel the black air in this jade.”

Yang Jian nodded, his tone calm:"The Great Sage is right. The jade is connected to the earth veins. If we guide the power of the earth veins, we may be able to purify the black energy in the jade."

He whispered a spell, and the golden light gradually condensed into runes, connecting with the power of the earth veins.

Yang Jian also quickly made some hand gestures, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword was inserted into the ground. Runes flowed on the blade, echoing with the runes of Sun Wukong.

Nezha stood aside, the flame of his fire spear flickering slightly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

As the runes gradually lit up, the power of the earth veins was slowly guided and gathered around the jade.

However, just when the black gas was about to be completely dispelled, the jade suddenly burst out with a powerful energy wave, which pushed the three people back several steps.

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian and Nezha were repelled by the powerful energy fluctuations. They staggered back a few steps. After they stabilized themselves, their faces instantly became solemn. Sun Wukong held the golden hoop tightly in his palm, and the golden light on the stick trembled slightly, as if resisting the sudden force.

"The evil energy in this jade stone actually has such a strong backlash force!"

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the floating jade, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice:

"The black energy in this jade is connected to the Yin energy of the Netherworld. It cannot be suppressed by brute force alone. It must be completely purified with a stronger force."

Nezha gripped the Fire Spear tightly, and the flame at the tip of the spear suddenly exploded. The flame made a "crackling" sound in the air, reflecting his cold face.

He frowned slightly, with a hint of anxiety in his tone:"Monkey, we can't delay any longer. If we continue like this, the black energy in the jade may explode completely!"

"Okay, the three of us will work together to suppress the evil spirit in the jade with the power of the earth veins! Yang Jian, you will control the earth vein instrument and accurately guide the flow of the earth vein power; Nezha, you will use the fire spear to form a flame barrier to resist the backlash of the jade; I will use the golden hoop to stabilize the output of the earth vein energy and assist you in suppressing the evil spirit!"

Yang Jian did not hesitate and immediately took out the geomancer. He quickly made hand gestures with both hands, and the pointer on the geomancer trembled slightly. The runes gradually lit up, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to slowly gather.

His eyes were focused, and his fingers gently moved the runes on the instrument. The power of the earth veins flowed towards the jade in the direction he pointed like a trickle.

"The power of the earth veins has begun to gather, Great Sage, it's up to you now."

Sun Wukong nodded, and suddenly inserted the golden cudgel in his hand into the ground. The cudgel emitted golden light, and the power of the earth veins quickly gathered around the jade along the golden light.

He closed his eyes slightly and whispered a spell. The light of the golden hoop gradually spread, forming an invisible earth energy barrier that tightly wrapped the jade.

At the same time, Nezha quickly swung the Fire Spear, and the flame at the tip of the spear drew a hot arc in the air. The flame quickly condensed into a huge barrier, completely blocking the energy backlash of the jade.

The flame barrier roared in the air, and the scorching heat completely dispelled the surrounding negative energy, and the surrounding space instantly became bright.

Nezha shouted loudly, and the fire spear in his hand trembled slightly, with flames dancing on the tip of the spear, as if ready to meet a greater impact at any time.

Sun Wukong felt the black air in the jade being gradually suppressed, but his frown did not relax at all.

Although the evil energy in the jade was suppressed by the power of the earth veins, the black aura still flowed in the center of the jade, like a trapped ferocious beast that could break free at any time.

"not enough!"

Sweat was oozing out of his forehead, and it was obvious that he was using all his magical power.

Upon seeing this, Yang Jian quickly moved his fingers on the earth vein instrument, and the rune's light became more dazzling. The flow of the earth vein power was precisely controlled by him, like invisible chains, firmly locking the black air in the jade.

"The power of the earth veins is running at full speed, Great Sage, hold on a little longer!"

There was a hint of urgency in Yang Jian's voice, and it was obvious that he also felt the resistance of the evil spirit in the jade.

He gritted his teeth and swung the fire spear in his hand violently. The flame barrier was reinforced again, and the scorching flames completely burned away the surrounding negative energy.

"Monkey, hurry up! The backlash of this jade is getting stronger and stronger!"

Nezha shouted loudly, sweat from his forehead sliding down his cheeks, it was obvious that he had already used all his strength.

Sun Wukong did not respond, but his movements became even faster. The golden cudgel suddenly pierced into the ground, the stick body glowed with golden light, and the output of the earth vein power instantly reached its peak.

As his voice fell, the light of the golden hoop instantly poured into the jade. The black air in the jade suddenly stagnated, and then began to churn violently, as if a trapped beast was making its last struggle.

Upon seeing this, Yang Jian quickly performed a magic spell, and the flow of earth vein power suddenly accelerated, like an invisible sharp blade, completely cutting through the black air in the jade.

The black air gradually dissipated in the light, and the evil energy in the jade was finally completely suppressed.

Nezha's fire spear dropped slightly, the flame barrier gradually dissipated, and the surrounding air returned to calm.

"Finally solved!"

Sun Wukong also slowly put away his golden cudgel, and the golden light on the cudgel gradually dimmed.

His eyes fell on the jade. The black air in the jade had completely dissipated, replaced by a pure light, like a crystal clear gem, emitting a soft glow in the darkness.

"This jade... has finally returned to its original appearance."

Yang Jian put away the geomancer, glanced at the jade, and said in a steady tone:"Although the evil spirit in the jade has been dispelled, its connection with the heavenly palace and earth veins still exists. We must bring it back to the heavenly palace as soon as possible and hand it over to Taishang Laojun for study."

Nezha nodded, and gripped the Fire Spear tightly, the flame on the tip of the spear flickering slightly:

"Monkey, let's hurry up, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with in heaven."

Sun Wukong did not hesitate, he raised his hand and took the jade.

"Let's go back to heaven!"

Sun Wukong whispered, then turned into a golden light and rushed towards the sky.

Yang Jian and Nezha followed closely behind, and the three streams of light quickly disappeared into the sky of the underworld.

Yang Jian turned into a streak of silver light and followed closely behind Sun Wukong. Nezha was a little slower, but his speed was still astonishing. His flaming spear dragged a long tail of fire, like a meteor streaking through the night sky.

Sun Wukong and his two companions had just flown out of the Netherworld and were about to continue flying towards Heaven when suddenly Sun Wukong frowned, paused, and stopped in mid-air.

He looked down at the Qiankun bag hanging around his waist. The bag was bulging slightly, as if something was struggling restlessly inside.

"Ok?"

Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and squeezed the Qiankun bag, his brows frowned even more tightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Yang Jian held the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and asked in a low voice:"Great Sage, what happened?"
