Chapter 1288: Three Illumination Painting

Xie’er glanced at Mo Tian, ​​snorted softly, turned back into the palm-sized silver scorpion, and stopped on Liu Ming’s shoulder.

Liu Ming stroked the silver scorpion a few times and launched a sword symbol. The Void Sword Maru turned into a golden sword light, supported his body, and dashed away.

After flying not far away, the silver wings spread out behind him, accelerating the speed of the sword light.

After flying at full speed, he disappeared from the snow land in the blink of an eye.

Liu Ming didn’t realize that after he left, a fissure split open in the sky above the blue lake, and a fist-sized white eyeball emerged from it. After turning around, it looked at the place where Liu Ming disappeared. After blinking a few times, the white eyeball disappeared in the snow land again.

3 hours later, at Liu Ming’s full speed, he finally flew out of the snow land and came to a black mountain peak.

“This place is not far from the seal. Wait a moment, I will use mystic art to inspect the situation of the seal.” Mo Tian said suddenly.

“No problem!”

Liu Ming nodded and landed on a relatively flat mountain in a flash. After a roll of black air, Mo Tian once again appeared.

Mo Tian sat cross-legged beside Liu Ming, looked around a few times, and said meaningfully, “Boy Liu, first cast a spell to cover this place so that no one is eavesdropping.”

Liu Ming’s eyes flashed. He chanted a few times and covered the surrounding 30 meters in radius with black mist.

…

In a huge cave in a valley in Heavenly Illusive Secret Realm.

There were bursts of flames in the cave. Waves of heat rose from the bottom to the top of the cave.

In the middle of the cave, a hooked nose middle-aged man in a green robe was sitting cross-legged. In front of him was a quaint cauldron as tall as a person. As he chanted, the boiling sound came continuously from the big red cauldron. At the same time billowing flames burst out.

Around the man in a green robe, there were arrays of different sizes. Countless black runes floated out of the arays and merged into the flames emitted from the red cauldron. At the top of the flames, a white scroll that was about a foot long was vaguely visible.

Those black runes went into the scroll little by little, but the white scroll didn’t have any response except for emitting white fluorescent light.

Seeing this, the hooked nose man gradually frowned.

At this moment, a gray shadow flew from outside the cave.

When the gray light faded away, it turned out to be a woman wearing a gray shirt with a high crown on her head. She looked only about 30 years old. She had thin eyebrows and fine eyes. There was a vertical line in each of the green pupils.

The hooked nose man took a look at the woman in a gray robe, then he continued to chant. His hands were launching waves of black lights into the arrays on the ground.

“Is the Three Illumination Luo River Painting still unresponsive?” The woman in a gray robe glanced at the white scroll and asked.

The woman’s voice was unexpectedly hoarse as if metals were rubbing against each other.

The hooked nose man’s face darkened. He let out a muffled snort from his nose.

The woman in a gray robe sighed and said slowly,

“After all, Three Illumination Painting is the immortal weapon of that old demon. He has already laid many enchantments in it. With our strength, it will not be easy to refine so quickly.”

Hearing that, the hooked nose man stopped and waved his hand. The light of the arrays on the ground quickly dimmed.

“It’s fine. I’ve already refined 2 of the enchantments. As long as I can refine one more enchantment, we can use the power of Three Illumination Luo River Painting to crack the enchantment that the old demon set in our bodies, then we can leave this damn place.” The hooked nose man said with a fiery look in his eyes.

A look of longing flashed in the woman in a gray robe’s eyes, then she seemed to remember something and said, “By the way, I’m here because I want to tell you something.”

She waved her hand. A white light shot out and formed an oval water mirror.

There was a burst of ripples in the mirror, then several blurred figures emerged.

One of them was a figure shrouded in black mist, which was Liu Ming. The other was burly bald man Qing Gu, Qing Songzi and Qing Shang.

“These people are the cultivators of the Qing Family. Counting the time, it is indeed time for the Qing Family to enter the secret realm.” The hooked nose man’s expression changed, and he said slowly.

“Now is the critical moment to refine the Three Illumination Painting. You can’t let the Qing Family know what’s going on here. Go out and kill one or two people at will, refine an Illusion Power Seed, and send them out of the secret realm quickly.” The hooked nose man waved his hand and said casually.

“I’ll take care of this. Don’t be too anxious and use brute force to refine. It would be bad if the Three Illumination Water in the painting leaked out like last time.” The woman in a gray robe nodded, then she reminded him cautiously.

“Hmph, I don’t need you to tell me that.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the white scroll in the flames suddenly trembled. A dazzling white light appeared on it, and a giant white light beam broke through the top of the cave.

Several layers of enchantments appeared above the valley, but they could not stop the white light beam at all. The white light beam shot up into the dark clouds.

The black clouds in midair rolled violently. With the white light beam as the center, a huge black vortex quickly formed.

The white light beam became thicker and thicker. Within a few breaths, the diameter had grown to tens of meters in thickness, shooting straight into the sky like a pillar supporting the sky.

Seeing this, the hooked man and the woman in a gray robe couldn’t help but look at each other.

…

Far away from the white light beam, Qing Gu stood on a black mountain peak, looking in the direction of the white light beam. Although the white light beam could no longer be seen from such a distance, his cultivation could still clearly sense such violent spiritual power fluctuations.

“What happened? Something seems wrong.” He murmured to himself with a contemplative look, then he flew toward the light beam.

In another black forest in the secret realm, Qing Songzi waved his hand and emitted a green light, engulfing dozens of foot-sized purple-red strange bats.

The green light flashed and turned into green wind blades that decimated these strange bats.

There was a burst of crackling sounds, and these bats were turned into bloody light clusters and fell from midair.

As soon as Qing Songzi landed on the ground, Qing Shang appeared beside him in a flash.

After they whispered a few words, they flew into mid-air and looked in the direction of the white light beam.

They were relatively close to where the white light beam was, so they could faintly see the white light soaring into the sky.

They looked at each other in shock.

“Something seems to have changed there. According to the records of the clan, there has never been such a scene in the secret realm.” Qing Songzi said with a serious face.

“We have just entered the secret realm, so it’s still early. Why don’t we go and have a look first?” Qing Shang hesitated and said.

Qing Songzi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

With a wave of his hand, he released a green long-shuttle magic weapon, which grew several meters in size and carried them toward the light beam.

…

On top of the black mountain peak, Liu Ming stood in the billowing black mist and looked at the distant white light beam with a frown.

Mo Tian was sitting cross-legged on the ground beside him and chanting at the moment. Black runes flew out of his body, condensing into a black array around him.

Xie’er, who was originally standing on Liu Ming’s shoulder, was no longer there.

After a while, Mo Tian opened his eyes, looked at the white light beam far away with a smile, and launched a symbol. The black array suddenly dispersed.

The white light beam in the distant sky also slowly dissipated and finally disappeared without a trace.

“How is it?” Liu Ming asked.

“As I expected, the 2 beastkins that I originally placed in the secret realm to protect the Three Illumination Luo River Painting gradually have rebellious thoughts. They actually wanted to use the power of the Three Illumination Luo River Painting to break away from the Heavenly Illusive Secret Realm.” Mo Tian said with a sneer.

“You caused such an astonishing scene on purpose, right? Could it be that you want…” Liu Ming looked at Mo Tian and said thoughtfully.

“Since there are 3 other Celestial State cultivators in the secret realm, of course let them explore the way and test the current strength of the 2 beastkins.” Mo Tian said lightly with a cold smile on his face.

“Since you created this secret realm, can’t it be that you can’t deal with the 2 Celestial State beastkins?” Liu Ming asked with a frown.

“If I still have my own spiritual power, there will be no problem with the 2 Celestial State beastkins, but now I’m only a soul. In order to channel the Yuan Attracting Array before, my soul power was consumed a lot. Now I don’t have the strength to deal with them anymore. However, I know the weakness of these 2 beastkins, with your strength and that ghost spiritual pet, it is enough to kill them.” Mo Tian said lightly.

Liu Ming nodded immediately with his eyes moved.

“Use that totem art to conceal your aura and get closer.” Mo Tian turned into a black light and moved back into Liu Ming’s body.

Liu Ming glanced around and waved one hand. A green light appeared on his body, and he disappeared from the space.

When the surrounding black mist dissipated, there was no one on the mountain.

Tens of miles away, a faintly invisible shadow flew toward the valley where the white light beam was just now.
