Only by breaking this formation and placing the Xuanhuo Mirror inside the stone carving can the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox be released.
Soon, the Crimson Flame Beast had taken shape.
Li Qing'an waited quietly, wanting to test whether the Crimson Flame Beast, which had previously beaten Gui Li to the point of near death, could withstand a single blow from him.
"Roar...."
A deep roar echoed, and the entire hall seemed to tremble as a giant beast pounced down on Li Qing'an from above.
Its enormous body was several meters tall, with thick limbs, sharp claws, and flames burning fiercely all over its body!
The Crimson Flame Beast raised its massive head, flames burning in its eyes, and the huge flame totem on its back began to slowly rotate. With a roar, it pounced towards Li Qing'an.
The heatwave kept hitting Li Qing'an, blowing her long hair.
Li Qingan remained expressionless, extended his right hand forward, and then slowly lowered it with his palm facing down.
Above the Crimson Flame Beast, a Bagua diagram several meters in size, radiating pure energy, appeared out of thin air and slowly pressed down on the beast.
"boom--"
A tremendous sound echoed throughout the hall once again, causing the entire hall to shake violently.
Faced with Li Qing'an's subsequent palm strike, the Crimson Flame Beast was completely powerless to resist and was suppressed without any obstruction. The beast's body even dissipated in this space.
"Not bad!"
Li Qingan boasted to himself and walked towards the round hole leading to the third level.
"The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, I'm finally going to see it!"
Chapter 211 Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!
"Da da da"
Footsteps came from the round hole in the second altar.
Li Qingan followed the stone cave through the darkness and came to a thing that was emitting a faint light.
The stone platform, which is more than half a person tall, is cylindrical. In addition to constantly emitting changing light, there is a circular groove on the surface of the stone platform, with three words engraved next to it: "Mysterious Fire Mirror"!
Li Qingan raised his hand and touched it.
Yes, it's very clean. Even if nothing has been placed there for three hundred years, it still doesn't have a speck of dust on it.
Clearly, Shangguan Ce was well-preserved and missed the Xuanhuo (mysterious fire) in Li Qing'an's hands—no, the Five Elements Mirror.
Unfortunately, Shangguan Ce has no hope in this lifetime!
This thing has been renamed now.
Li Qingan took out the Five Elements Mirror, which he hadn't used for a long time, and placed it in the seamless indentation of the sky.
Just after it was put down, a dull thud came from above. The stone slab slowly receded, revealing a stone hole.
The moment the cave opened, thick white mist billowed out, just like the cold air rushing out when a freezer is opened.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, becoming bitterly cold.
Li Qing'an casually put away the Xuanhuo Mirror, and without saying a word, headed towards the stone cave leading to the third level.
The entire route was filled with hard, ancient ice that had existed for countless years, emitting a faint, eerie light.
The chilling aura emanating from the ice filled the entire space completely, obscuring everything.
The sound of his footsteps on the ice echoed from the spot, shattering centuries of tranquility.
Before Li Qingan could speak, a deep, gentle voice, tinged with surprise, suddenly echoed from the other side of the mist.
"You're not Shangguan Ce?"
Li Qingan stopped and looked in the direction of the voice into the darkness, then slowly said, "What do you think I am?"
He was a little confused. He had been imprisoned for three hundred years, and they even had to ask if he was Shangguan Ce.
Perhaps understanding Li Qing'an's unspoken meaning, the voice said again, "You're not that old ghost, he wouldn't talk like that!"
Li Qingan: "Then ask!"
Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox: "..."
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was speechless, seemingly having been rebuffed by Li Qing'an.
A period of inexplicable silence,
Who would understand? She hadn't spoken much for hundreds of years, and when someone finally came, she kindly greeted them, only to be subtly mocked for having a mental problem.
She remembered this grudge.
As her emotions fluctuated, the blue light emanating from the surrounding ice seemed to flicker.
After the silence.
Within the mist, two faint, luminous lights flickered, gazing at Li Qing'an and Xiao Luo perched on his shoulder.
"You're not one of Shangguan Ce's people?"
"Shangguan Ce?" Li Qingan scoffed. "He's not worthy. I've come here for you!"
They came for me!
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, lurking in the shadows, pondered: "The person before me possesses unfathomable cultivation; even I cannot fathom his true strength. No wonder he was able to bypass Shangguan Ce and break through the 'Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation' guarded by the 'Crimson Flame Beast'..."
"wrong!"
Suddenly, the nine-tailed celestial fox's voice rose sharply, as if it had thought of something, and a hint of excitement appeared in its voice.
"No matter how high your cultivation level is, apart from the secret technique mastered by that old ghost Shangguan, only the Xuanhuo Mirror in the whole world can open the third level of this altar."
"You, you possess the Mysterious Fire Mirror!"
Her excited voice echoed around her, and with that voice, the surrounding ice shimmered with blue light.
Perhaps it was because Shangguan Ce had previously mentioned to her that he would skin and dismember the six-tailed fox.
At this moment, her heart was filled with worry.
She unleashed her power, sweeping away the surrounding mist.
That imposing aura transformed into a strong wind, causing Li Qing'an's clothes to flutter loudly.
"You mean this?" Li Qing'an took out a round, jade-like object from his pocket. The ancient flame totem on it seemed to be burning slowly.
"Why? Why is the Mystic Fire Mirror in your hands? And where is Xiao Liu? Tell me, where is Xiao Liu...?"
She let out a sharp, long howl, her voice instantly becoming high-pitched, filled with worry, pain, despair, and sorrow!
Xiao Liu wouldn't easily hand over the Xuanhuo Mirror, and since it's currently in this person's hands, wouldn't Xiao Liu be...?
The entire third-level altar erupted with blue light, and nine enormous black shadows danced in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a figure flew out from the shadows, its enormous body like a demon emerging from the ancient desolation, its huge shadow constantly dancing.
Perhaps Li Qing'an was a little impatient upon hearing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's shrill voice.
He hadn't even said anything yet, and you were already planning to take action.
"Shut up, it's too noisy!"
A sharp shout reached the ears of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.
"What, what did you say...?"
The nine-tailed celestial fox paused, its enormous body momentarily still, its words seemingly filled with disbelief.
As a celestial fox who had lived for a thousand years, this was the first time she had ever heard a young human dare to be so disrespectful to her.
"You scoundrel, you'll be buried with my little Liu!"
Suddenly, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox let out a hiss, lifted its front paws off the ground, and stood up. The surrounding solid ice suddenly shone with a bright blue light, and with a roar, two huge ice blocks moved and smashed towards Li Qing'an.
A strong gust of wind swept by, but Li Qing'an calmly dodged it, moving with incredible speed, circling the white fox in an instant.
Then, Li Qingan stood still, made a sword-finger gesture with his right hand, and gently pointed at the white fox.
"bundle!"
A streak of blue light flew towards the white fox.
The azure light dissipated upon reaching the sky, transforming into beams of five colors that fell to the ground.
Instantly, array runes appeared on the originally solid icy ground, forming a huge array.
'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'
The white fox was startled. What kind of technique was this? It didn't resemble Taoist magic or Buddhist magic, but it vaguely resembled a curse.
But she knew it wasn't a curse.
The white fox bent its limbs, ready to leave this place.
But as soon as she took to the air, countless five-colored chains appeared on the ground and quickly wrapped around the nine-tailed celestial fox.
The white fox let out a low growl, its entire body was bound by five-colored chains, and then it slammed to the ground with a 'bang'.
The white fox struggled desperately, trying to break free of the thing.
However, all of this was in vain.
After all that trouble, I only ended up looking worse.
Li Qingan stepped forward and carefully examined the legendary nine-tailed celestial fox, his eyes filled with interest.
You should know that even in his previous life, in that primordial continent where the gods originated, nine-tailed celestial foxes were extremely rare.
In this small world of Jade Dynasty, the existence of a nine-tailed celestial fox is incredibly exciting.
It makes people want to find out more.
A smile involuntarily crept onto Li Qingan's lips.
He hasn't studied the nine-tailed celestial fox yet!
This is also why he hasn't explained it yet. What if he explains it to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and she refuses to let him see it?
Now it's fine.
