Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 253: The Power of Xuanwu and the Mystery of Water

“Ah…”

The four sacred beasts roared in unison, like a loud thunderclap, with overwhelming force and overwhelming pressure.

This is not simply physical oppression, but an impact on the spiritual realm!

Li Qingyuan suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if countless needles were piercing his brain.

At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded in his ears:

"Human boy, go back to where you came from. This is not the place for you!"

Li Qingyuan suppressed his headache and looked around, but found that there was no one around.

He immediately understood that this was one of the four sacred beasts speaking human language.

"My dear seniors, I am the new owner of Qiankun Palace."

"Senior Qiling guided me here for an opportunity. I hope you seniors will help me!"

This was Li Qingyuan’s response.

"Haha...Now, even ants like this can be chosen. It seems that its vision is really getting worse."

The ethereal voice came out again.

Li Qingyuan couldn't tell which sacred beast was speaking, but he speculated that the "it" mentioned in the words was most likely the spirit of the weapon.

This shows that these four sacred beasts have known the little boy spirit for a long time and have a deep connection with him.

But he didn't dare to say much at this moment and could only wait for the next move of the Four Sacred Beasts.

He believed that since the spirit of the weapon allowed him to enter the third door, there must be a reason for it and it would never let him die.

Besides, this little bit of flesh and blood of his might not even be enough to fill the teeth of these four sacred beasts!

......

Suddenly.

A gentle voice came slowly:

"Opportunities exist naturally, but how much you can obtain depends entirely on your own ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingyuan felt his body floating up uncontrollably, drifting straight towards the direction of the Xuanwu sacred beast.

When he got closer, he was shocked to realize that this sacred beast Xuanwu was not a physical entity, but a phantom, just like the spiritual form of an artifact spirit.

However, the mere power emanating from the shadow was enough to make Li Qingyuan feel as insignificant as a drop in the ocean.

Facing the shadow of the sacred beast Xuanwu, Li Qingyuan suddenly felt the pressure like a mountain, but he still tried his best to calm his mind.

At this moment, a black light flashed by.

Li Qingyuan only felt that his soul left his body and was sucked into the black light.

Once inside, he found himself in a vast ocean of black water.

now.

His soul transformed into a little man similar to his original body, floating on the black water and rapidly flowing down along the current.

Li Qingyuan realized instantly that he could not let the water carry him forward.

He must not go with the flow!

......

Li Qingyuan began to struggle violently, trying to swim upstream.

However, the more he struggled, the faster the water flowed, as if it wanted to swallow him completely!

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan had to stop his actions, his mind racing, and he activated his time and space divine body.

In an instant, the speed of his downward movement slowed down a little, and he felt a little relieved.

He began to try to blend into the black water.

After trying several times, I found that this black water seemed to be no different from ordinary water except for its dark color and cold temperature.

However, he guessed that this must be the method of the sacred beast Xuanwu - Xuanming Ice.

A flash of enlightenment suddenly flashed through his mind:

Even though the water flows fast, one must remain calm. The faster the water flows, the calmer one must remain.

This is to refine the mind!

......

After figuring this out, Li Qingyuan's soul lay down calmly, allowing the water to carry him downstream.

But he didn't seem panicked at all, instead he felt relieved.

In just a few breaths, he was rushed far away and continued to dive downwards.

However, the water flow seemed to have no end, extending downwards.

Just as Li Qingyuan gradually adapted to this drifting state.

At a certain moment, his mood suddenly elevated again.

Compared with before, it is more stable and heavy, and even has a little inexplicable sense of protection.

In a moment.

Li Qingyuan suddenly felt that the water flow had stopped, and the sound of the rushing water disappeared.

He suddenly opened his eyes and found that his soul had returned to his sea of ​​consciousness.

The shadow of the sacred beast Xuanwu still stood quietly in front of him.

Suddenly.

A black light came swiftly like a nimble water snake and penetrated into his brow.

Li Qingyuan knew in his heart that he had successfully passed the test of the sacred beast Xuanwu and obtained the opportunity that belonged to it.

He immediately looked inward and was surprised to find that his lifespan had increased a lot.

At the same time, the strength of the body has also increased a bit, becoming more resilient.

In addition, there is a mysterious power flowing in his body...

At this moment, a deep voice sounded in his mind:

"This is the power of my Black Tortoise. You can use it to comprehend the mysteries of water."

Li Qingyuan's heart moved, the power of Xuanwu?

His gaze involuntarily turned to the other three sacred beasts, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind:

If he could pass the test of these three sacred beasts and obtain their opportunities—

Wouldn't that make him a "polygonal warrior"? !

......

Without any hesitation, Li Qingyuan moved and instantly came to the shadow of the sacred white tiger beast in the west.

"Roar!"

The white tiger shadow growled.

The copper bell-like eyes stared at Li Qingyuan coldly, and the voice exploded like thunder:

"Human boy, are you sure you want to continue?"

"I won't show mercy just because you're the owner of Qiankun Palace. If you die here, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Li Qingyuan's expression was calm, his eyes were firm, and he nodded without hesitation: "Senior, please teach me."

The white tiger phantom said no more. The next moment, Li Qingyuan felt his soul leaving his body again and being swept into a bloody light.

The scene before his eyes changed instantly, and he found himself in a place filled with smoke.

Deafening shouts and shrill screams echoed one after another without stopping.

Looking up, I saw a vast battlefield.

The battlefield was extremely large, and wherever you looked, you could see people fighting, with no end in sight.

Here, not only are there humans, but also cultivators from various races such as demons, spirits, and monsters gathered together, and a huge war broke out.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, the ground was stained red with blood, and broken limbs were everywhere.

Li Qingyuan's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: This test is actually a killing battlefield?

at this time.

With a "swish" sound, a sharp blade light cut through the air and slashed towards him.

Li Qingyuan reacted quickly and dodged sideways immediately, and the knife light brushed past the corner of his clothes.

His eyes turned cold, he clenched his right fist, gathered his profound strength, and punched the man in the face with his backhand.

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound.

The man's head split open instantly, blood splattered everywhere, and then he fell down with a scream of pain.

Li Qingyuan looked down at his fist, confused:

Is this test so simple? Just killing?

......
