Chapter 882 Is there demonic energy?
The next time he appeared, he was behind Cai Heming. The man in red pointed at the back of his head again. Cai Heming dodged to the left, but ran straight into a cold embrace. Turning his head, he saw a pale face with a long tongue hanging out, smiling at him. A cold palm pressed on his chest, and a negative energy suddenly entered his body. Cai Heming felt a chill in his chest. The chill rushed from his chest to his forehead, causing him to shiver and wake up immediately.
"what……"

Cai Heming stayed where he was. The ghost in front of him smiled and disappeared into black smoke. When he turned around, he saw his spirit sword hovering over Pu Yanlan's head. He was looking for an opportunity to stab her, but was blocked by a small golden sword. The two swords were fighting fiercely.
"What...what's going on?"

Cai Heming was startled, and Pu Yanlan was also happy to see that he was awake.
"Elder Cai, quickly put away your spirit sword and speak!"

Seeing this, Cai Heming quickly put away his magic sword and took back the monkey that was chasing Hong Yi around. At this time, he also understood and asked,

"Did I just fall into an illusion?"

Pu Yanlan nodded, told the story, and said,

"It seems that Elder Cai's magic sword is the key to breaking the formation. Elder Cai, please use your magic sword..."

Cai Heming thought about it and nodded.
"Elder Pu is right. That elder of Sanyuan Sect told us that the spirit sword can enter the treasure land. There must be a reason for that!"

As expected, he summoned the spirit sword again, and it turned into a beam of light that passed in front of the monks who were still trapped in the magic circle.
“Po…po…po…po…po…”

A series of sounds like bubbles bursting, and everyone woke up as if from a dream. At first, they stood still, and after they came to their senses, their eyes gradually became clear, and they turned their heads to look around, and then they suddenly realized,
"It turns out we have been in an illusion array all along!"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but secretly exclaim,

"This ancient magic circle is really powerful! We were careless and thought that it would be fine if we just broke it, but we didn't know that after breaking it, it would open another circle. We got caught by mistake..."

Knowing that it was Cai Heming who saved them, they hurried forward to salute. Cai Heming waved his hand and said,
"To be honest, I was also trapped in the battle array and almost injured Elder Pu. It was Elder Pu who woke me up!"

Everyone was amazed at what he said. Elder Pu was indeed extraordinary. Pu Yanlan said,

"It's not that I'm so powerful, I just happened to practice the way of ghosts, so my soul is stronger!"

Seeing that they were out of trouble, everyone discussed going to the next hall. Pu Yanlan said,
"Elder Cai's spirit sword should be the key to breaking through the formation. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Elder Cai to lead with his spirit sword later!"

Cai Heming nodded.
"I neglected this matter earlier. This sword came from Sanyuan Sect and is the key to obtaining the treasure. It should have been sacrificed long ago!"

As he spoke, the spirit sword trembled and came out of its sheath.
"Om..."

A beam of spiritual light circled around everyone and then headed towards the second palace. Everyone hurriedly followed Ling Jian to the palace. After crossing the square, they saw the thirteenth jade staircase. Cai Heming stood below and looked at it carefully before stepping up.

"Wait a minute!"

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows.
"Wait a minute, Elder Cai. Why do I feel that this jade staircase is a little strange?"

"Oh……"

Cai Heming was stunned when he heard this. He stood there without daring to move, and looked down.
"I wonder what's so strange about it?"

Pu Yanlan took a step forward.
"It's not the jade steps, but the jade beasts on each step. Can Elder Cai see what's going on?"

Cai Heming looked at it intently, and after a while he said,
"I just found that there were traces of spiritual energy flowing on the thirteen pairs of jade beasts on each level, but I didn't find anything strange?"

This entire treasure cave was filled with spiritual energy, flowing everywhere, and there was nothing strange about it, so Cai Heming did not find anything wrong. Pu Yanlan said,
"Yan Lan didn't observe the aura, but... judging from the number of these thirteen pairs of jade beasts, they are somewhat similar to the arrangement of the Thirteen Beast Kings Formation, so I reminded Elder Cai to be careful..."

"Thirteen Beast King Formation?"

No one had heard of the name of this formation, Pu Yanlan said,
"I also happened to read the records in ancient books. The Thirteen Beast Kings are no matter which thirteen beasts they are. After taking the souls, they are sealed in the jade beast heads on both sides. They are usually placed on both sides of the steps. They look inconspicuous, but in fact..."

At this point, Pu Yanlan casually took out a small bead that emitted a cold light and flicked it forward gently.
"pat..."

The small bead fell onto the first jade step, and after rolling twice, it became motionless. Just when everyone thought that Elder Pu had made a mistake this time, they heard a beast roar.
"Roar……"

As the roar came, a huge beast claw appeared out of thin air on the jade steps, and then slammed down hard on the small bead.

"boom……"

The force was so great that even the jade steps shook and swayed a few times, and the bead was turned into powder. A gust of wind blew and it turned into a cold mist that drifted in the air.

Everyone looked at Pu Yanlan with admiration, and Cai Heming was also surprised.

"It is indeed an ancient sect, and there is murderous intent everywhere..." Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"Although this Thirteen Beast Kings Formation is powerful, it is just an ordinary defensive formation. It is not difficult to break it... But... if it is broken, I am afraid that it will trigger the second level of the formation like before..."

Cai Heming thought for a moment and said,
"Let me try it with my spirit sword..."

Then he sacrificed the spirit sword, which turned into spiritual light and flew towards the thirteenth jade step.

"Om..."

"Hoo...ho ho..."

After a series of beast roars, another beast claw slapped the spirit sword from top to bottom. However, the claw immediately disintegrated when it touched the spiritual light. The spirit sword moved freely across the thirteen jade steps and arrived in front of the palace gate.
"Om..."

The spirit sword was inserted into the palace gate. Everyone looked at each other and then at Cai Heming. Cai Heming wanted to call back the spirit sword, but it didn't move at all. After trying several times, Cai Heming finally shook his head solemnly.

"The spirit sword has been sucked in by a force, and I cannot recall it..."

After a pause he said,

"Let's go up and take a look first!"

Everyone climbed up the stairs and arrived in front of the palace gate. Cai Heming reached out and lightly touched the spirit sword.
"Om..."

The spirit sword trembled, and after struggling for a while, Cai Heming took it down from the door. Cai Heming looked at the spirit sword in his hand, his expression was solemn and puzzled. He looked at Pu Yanlan, who also had a puzzled look on her face. The two looked at each other, but they knew that some things could not be said directly in front of all the cultivators.

"Let's... go in and take a look first!"

Pu Yanlan looked at the tightly closed door, reached out and gently pushed it.
"Squeak..."

The door opened easily, and the dazzling light rushed towards everyone without any obstruction. The light was so bright that even the monks could not stand it. They stretched out their hands to block it. After they got used to it, they looked carefully and let out sounds of surprise.
"what……"

This hall is full of natural treasures, all of which are quietly suspended in the air, each one emitting red, orange, red, green, blue, and purple light. This hall is full of them. If you count them roughly, there are at least hundreds or thousands of them. The cultivators in this world have never seen so many treasures. They were stunned for a moment!
Pu Yanlan was the first to come to her senses. She coughed lightly and said,

"My fellow Taoists, please calm down. Although there are so many treasures right before your eyes, please be careful of the various methods used by the ancient immortal sect..."

The more readily available the item is, the more careful you should be. Once you are dazzled by the treasure and rush in without thinking, you may end up dead!

It's really a case of taking it while you can, but not using it when you die!
After all, they are cultivators, and their character is much more resilient than that of ordinary people. After Pu Yanlan's reminder, everyone came back to their senses from their excitement, and nodded,

"Elder Pu is right!"

So he collected his thoughts and looked around the hall, trying to see what was arranged there!
Sure enough, when everyone calmed down and took a look, they figured out some clues.

Someone pointed to the ground.
"Look... there are seventy-two Kuixing formations on the ground..."

Everyone looked down and saw that the ground was inlaid with several crystal stones the size of rice grains. The crystal stones were transparent and embedded in the white jade ground. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't see them!
Pu Yanlan looked at it and nodded.
"That's true..."

A cultivator stepped forward and offered his own magical weapon, which was a small jade plate. The jade plate rotated above the magic circle.

"Om..."

As the jade plate turned, countless rays of light shot out, hitting the crystal stones on the ground one by one.

"Bang bang bang..."

The crystals exploded one by one, and the formation was broken. However, because of the previous lesson, the monks retreated instead of advancing. Instead, they took a few steps back with caution.
"Om..."

As expected, once the magic circle was broken, the entire hall began to shake, and all the natural treasures suspended in the air suddenly began to move.
"Bang bang bang bang..."

The various colored balls of light actually collided with each other. The balls of light exploded, releasing streams of purple-black mist. Pu Yanlan's face changed.
"Demonic energy! Everyone be careful!"

Just as he was about to retreat, Cai Heming took a step forward and waved his sleeves, stirring up a gust of wind. It was too late for Pu Yanlan to speak out to stop it. She saw the gust of wind sweeping into the hall, and the demonic energy spread everywhere. It did not fade, but became thicker and thicker.
"call……"

The demonic energy suddenly increased, and the entire hall was filled with a purple-black aura. Everyone hurriedly retreated, facing the demonic energy from a distance through the hall door. Fortunately, the demonic energy did not leave the hall, but only rolled back and forth in the hall, and several demon claws were faintly visible during the rolling...

Cai Heming frowned.
"What's going on? Why is there a demonic aura appearing in the Immortal Cave?"
