Chapter 411 Altar
After breaking through a barrier, another stone cave came into view.
Chu Ning held the ancient treasure and looked around vigilantly.
This stone cave was also only a few dozen feet in size, but the stone walls around it were faintly shining with a light golden color.
In the middle of the stone cave, there was an ancient altar that was three feet square.
There were several stone pillars around the altar, and in the middle was a huge stone pier with various runes engraved on it.
Under the stone pier, there was a pile of dry bones.
Chu Ning scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that most of the dry bones had been crushed, but they were still large.
However, the structure was very different from that of human monks.
The head was twisted and the shape was irregular, which looked extremely strange.
In addition to the shoulders, there were two arms, and in the abdomen, there was also a long arm of dry bones.
"It's the three-handed demon!"
Chu Ning almost immediately thought of the extraterritorial demon who had possessed You Jing and entered the Golden Spirit Seed Spirit Realm.
In this way, everything made sense.
This place should be the place where the ancient monks imprisoned the demon from outside the domain, and was accidentally discovered by You Jing.
And he may have reached some kind of agreement with the demon from outside the domain, allowing it to possess him.
I just don’t know whether this happened before or after I cut off its arm.
And looking at the appearance of the dry bones, the body of this demon should have been damaged for a very long time.
After carefully sensing it with his spiritual sense, Chu Ning finally confirmed that it was just a dry bone, and there was no shadow of any demon from outside the domain.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
But he did not relax his vigilance in his heart, but began to carefully feel the surroundings of this stone chamber.
"Huh?"
This feeling made Chu Ning exclaim in surprise.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Bai Ling heard Chu Ning's sudden exclamation and couldn't help asking.
"Do you feel that the spiritual energy here is different from that outside."
Chu Ning asked Bai Ling.
"It's indeed different. It seems that it is not spiritual energy, but..."
Bai Ling blinked, looking uncertain.
Chu Ning nodded at this time, confirming Bai Ling's guess.
Just now, his attention was on the altar, and he didn't feel it carefully.
When he felt it again at this moment, he found that there was a strange energy in the restriction here.
It was the energy formed by the fusion of the original power and the spiritual energy.
But this energy here is much thinner than the valley where the Wanfa Tree is located.
I don't know whether it is because the energy here is thinner than there, or because the time is longer.
Chu Ning continued to speak with a trace of thought in his eyes:
"It seems that these ancient places have this kind of energy.
Could it be that the energy between heaven and earth in ancient times is different from now."
Chu Ning spoke, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
However, he didn't feel this kind of energy when he was in the Taixu Abyss.
I don't know whether the Taixu Abyss itself doesn't have it, or the Taixu Abyss is not as old as this place.
Bai Ling couldn't answer Chu Ning's doubts.
Chu Ning once asked her if there was any information about this kind of energy in the inherited memory.
But Bai Ling also thought about it for a long time, but didn't find it.
After Chu Ning felt it for a while, he thought about it and began to walk slowly towards the altar.
Standing under the altar and feeling it for a while, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It seems that there is no restriction here, but look at the runes engraved on the altar.
There should be a restriction on this altar before, maybe the restriction has expired."
Hearing what Chu Ning said, Bai Ling also felt it carefully.
Then nodded and said: "There is indeed no restriction on this altar, and I can't sense it."
Hearing Bai Ling say this, Chu Ning didn't carelessly walk up to the altar directly.
Instead, he released a black ice flame and hit the dry bones of the extraterritorial demon.
The ice flame met the dry bones and instantly wrapped the entire dry bones, turning them into an ice sculpture.
Then, the red flame ignited in the ice sculpture.
What surprised Chu Ning a little was that the dry bones did not burn into ashes directly under the burning of the black ice flame.
Instead, they began to shrink and condense gradually, as if they were being refined.
Chu Ning stared at this scene with a look of doubt, until finally, the whole dry bones disappeared.
And in the black ice flame, there was a black bead vaguely wrapped.
Chu Ning waved his hand and took back the black ice flame.
The black bead also fell into his hand, and it was immediately cold.
It seemed that there was a strong demonic energy on it.
Chu Ning looked at it and immediately looked serious.
"Even if it is just a skeleton of an extraterritorial demon, it actually has such a strong demonic energy.
It seems that when it was possessed by You Jing, the strength of this demon should be greatly reduced.
I don't know how powerful this extraterritorial demon would be if it had a complete body."
"Master, how should this thing be dealt with?" Bai Ling stared at the black bead in Chu Ning's hand and asked.
Chu Ning frowned, and was at a loss for a moment.
He took the black bead and slowly walked up to the altar.
He began to check the place where the extraterritorial demon was imprisoned and sealed, and was ready to take a closer look at the rune structure on the stone pillars and stone piers.
At this time, he discovered that there was a hole on the stone pier where the extraterritorial demon's withered bones had blocked it.
It seemed like something was installed and then taken away.
Not only that, there are also holes on each stone pillar, which looked like they were connected by something before.
Chu Ning's heart moved, and she took out the black chain made of black black gold from You Jing's hand from the storage bag.
Even though Chu Ning had used a lot of various magic weapons in refining them before, there were still dozens of pieces of this black chain.
Chu Ning picked up one end of the black chain and compared it with the hole on the stone pier.
Sure enough, I found that the two should be connected.
Bai Ling also spoke out at this moment: "Master, was this black chain taken out from here?"
Chu Ning nodded slightly.
"Black Mystic Gold has a restraining effect on the demons outside the territory. The demons outside the territory were trapped here before, so it is normal to use this Black Mystic Gold.
This black chain was most likely used as a chain to lock the extraterrestrial demon, and then connected to the formation restriction on the altar.
It's just that for some unknown reason, the formation restriction failed, and the black chain was removed. "
When Chu Ning said this, his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.
"If we go by this assumption, when You Jing fought against me for the first time, he had already come into contact with this extraterrestrial demon.
Perhaps, the other party has also been possessed by an extraterrestrial demon.
But for some unknown reason, the extraterrestrial demon did not show up. "
Thinking of this, Chu Ning couldn't help but feel scared.
If the demon from outside the territory appears at that time, even though he has cultivated the immortal golden body.
However, the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique has not yet reached the second volume, and it may not be able to withstand the attack of the extraterrestrial demon.
Putting away the black chain, Chu Ning began to carefully consider the various runes on the altar.
He himself is very familiar with various formation patterns and talisman patterns. At this glance, he actually made quite a discovery.
“The forbidden runes here are composed of eighteen kinds of runes, although the runes on different stone pillars and stone piers are arranged differently.
But they are all composed of these eighteen kinds of runes, one of which I have seen before. "
Hearing what Chu Ning said, Bai Ling couldn't help but observe carefully.
However, her research on runes was far inferior to Chu Ning's, but she didn't see any clues.
When even curious asked:
"Master, where have you seen me before?"
"That was at a trade fair in Tianyin Pavilion when I first formed the elixir."
Chu Ning answered casually, and then roughly explained the incident when the monk from the Changming Sect asked him to analyze the source of the talisman and make the talisman.
Immediately, Chu Ning said thoughtfully:
“If this kind of talisman can be made into a talisman by itself, other talismans may also be made.
You might as well analyze the source of all these runes and master them, and then go back and study them slowly. "
Chu Ning thought like this in her heart as she started to touch the runes on the stone pillar with her hands.
The cold feeling made Chu Ning a little more curious about the material of these stone pillars and stone piers.
However, he immediately focused on the analysis of the source of symbols.
When Bai Ling saw Chu Ning analyzing the source of the symbols, he left the altar without disturbing him, and then began to wander around the cave to look around.
When he turned to the pale golden stone wall, Bai Ling couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
She stretched out her hand and touched the stone wall, then thoughtfully, she opened her mouth and sprayed out a white light that fell on the stone wall.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Ling stretched out his hands and swiped on the stone wall.
Suddenly a layer of golden sand fell on his palm.
"What is this?"
Bai Ling blurted out and asked.
Chu Ning, who heard Bai Ling's movements, couldn't help but raise her head and look over.
As his spiritual consciousness swept over him, Chu Ning couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.
"Star Gold Sand, this material is the same as black black gold, and it is one of the top ten weapon refining materials in ancient times.
It is mainly used for refining defensive magic weapons. How did you get it out of it? "
After Bai Ling heard Chu Ning's words, he once again spit out a mouthful of white light on the wall.
Then he scanned it, and suddenly, the gold sand on the wall fell into his hands again.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to have such magical powers."
Chu Ning chuckled lightly and then said:
"In that case, you can collect all the stars and gold sand on this wall.
Anyway, the extraterrestrial devil here is no longer here, so this kind of defense has no effect. "
"Yes, Master."
After hearing Chu Ning's instructions, Bai Ling collected the gold sand from the entire wall piece by piece.
Chu Ning, on the other hand, continued to analyze the eighteen kinds of runes on the stone pillars and stone piers.
With Chu Ning's current ability to analyze the source of runes, even if these eighteen runes are all mysterious and abnormal, it would only take him a little more time.
After analyzing the eighteen kinds of runes, Chu Ning thought for a while and recorded the structure of each stone pillar and the runes on the stone pier in a blank jade slip.
Prepare to take it back and study it slowly.
In fact, Chu Ning is also somewhat interested in the stone pillar material used to carve runes.
I want to take them away, but these are obviously connected to the restrictions here.
Worried that something unexpected would happen if he took it out, Chu Ning gave up.
