Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 121 Breakthrough to Super Level
Everyone continued to climb up the stairs. What made people feel relieved was that these stone statues did not come alive. Soon everyone was about to reach the main entrance.

Mo Fan didn't know why, but he always felt that these stone statues didn't play by the rules. This made Mo Fan a little depressed. He was fully prepared, and then nothing happened, which made him seem like an idiot. Especially when he saw Lin Ran's half-smile, he was even more depressed.

“It may be that your Weiju Village bloodline has frightened these stone statues... But some monster will definitely emerge from this bronze mirror.” Mo Fan said.

The bronze mirror that Mo Fan mentioned was hung in front of the main entrance of the tomb palace. The door of the tomb was closed and looked square, with some white ancient tripods on both sides.

"I was scared when I walked up here just now. I thought this tomb had a big one-eye looking at us." Su Xiaoluo also expressed his opinion.

Lin Ran didn't say anything.

At this time, Mo Fan moved a little closer, and in an instant he felt the feeling of being stared at as Su Xiaoluo had described, and Mo Fan got goosebumps all over his body.

"It does look like an eye... By the way, Su Xiaoluo, do you think that looking from here, this white staircase looks a bit like our well water painting?" Fang Gu thought of something and said to Su Xiaoluo seriously.

"Well water painting?" Su Xiaoluo was puzzled for a moment, then quickly turned around and looked down at the entire long white staircase from here. The confused expression on his face gradually turned into surprise: "Yes, it is indeed a well water painting. I felt very familiar with it when I was walking on this white staircase just now!!"

The well water painting mentioned by Fang Gu and Su Xiaoluo made everyone else a little confused.

"Our Kunjing is very magical. At a certain time in the night, if you look into the well, you can see a lifelike painting. Well, to be precise, it seems that the bottom of the well is transparent, and you can vaguely see the scene of another world through the deep well. One of the scenes in my memory is a piece of jade white, and it appears like steps, which are the steps we just climbed." Su Xiaoluo said.

At this time, Mo Fan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. Could it be that the Kunjing that the Weiju Village had guarded for generations was actually this white tomb palace?

And the strange picture they could see from the well was actually the imperial mausoleum!!
Lin Ran was not too surprised. He vaguely remembered that there was something in it that could help him break through to the super level...

"I guess it's the evil eye bronze mirror. I think the picture we see through Kunjing is actually reflected by this evil eye bronze mirror. You are right when you say it looks like an eye!" Fang Gu suddenly said, pointing at the evil bronze mirror.

Su Xiaoluo, who was reminded, suddenly realized something. Her eyes flickered frequently, "That is to say, the paintings we saw in the well water are all real, and they are the scenes in our ancestors' tombs!"

After hearing what the two said, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes. This was too surprising.

Is this a remote surveillance camera from over 2,000 years ago?!
The thing that the ancient king asked Weiju Village to guard from generation to generation is actually his tomb.

It is estimated that the energy this king spent on unifying the six kingdoms in the mortal world was probably not more than the energy he spent on building this mausoleum after his death. Otherwise, how could he have created such a kingdom of death in that backward civilization and rested here for more than 2,000 years without being disturbed at all? ?
"Although I don't know if it will work here, let's give it a try." Fang Gu suddenly muttered to himself, and then took out a very old bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror was only the size of a palm, but its shape was very similar to the evil eye bronze mirror hanging at the main entrance of the tomb palace. Everyone saw Fang Gu raising the small bronze mirror in his hand and shining a light into the evil eye bronze mirror...

At this time, the evil eye bronze mirror suddenly blinked, and it turned into a huge eye, and its gaze reflected Fang Gu, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Lin Ran, and Su Xiaoluo!

“Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, the doors all around slowly opened, as if something had pulled open the heavy white stone door. The moment it opened, an extremely terrifying gust of wind howled out from inside, almost knocking several people directly to the stairs.

It is obvious that no one has opened this door since it was closed, and the air pressure inside is extremely different from that outside!
"Hurry up, those stone servants we just saw are alive." Fang Gu said hurriedly.

After he understood the things about the well water painting, he understood some things here.

Everyone ran away.

Mo Fan couldn't help but turn his head to look, and then he heard a series of noises coming from the stairs. Looking down, he saw that all the stone servants had woken up. They had slept for many years and had even forgotten how to walk. They looked like staggering babies.

But this is not funny. Mo Fan can feel the extremely powerful aura emanating from these resurrected stone servants. Each one of them is stronger than the white sand giant in the Shawang River.

"They are very strong. If we can't open this door, we will probably be killed by them soon." Fang Gu said.

Mo Fan also nodded. With his own strength, he could only deal with two or three of these stone servants, but there was a large group of them rushing over from the stairs, even comparable to a group of zombies!

The few of them did not dare to delay and quickly stepped into the white tomb palace.

Everyone followed Fang Gu and moved forward. Fang Gu would stop to recall and ponder almost every time they walked a certain distance. It was obvious that the things they had been guarding for generations were related to this white tomb palace, so with these clues they should be able to find the ancient king relatively smoothly.

The group walked through a long gallery, where hanging on both sides were what seemed to be lithographs from the ancient king's personal collection.

“Remember, don’t look at those paintings. There are mental traps in them. If you fall into the trap of a painting by mistake, it is like escaping into an illusion or a dream, and it is difficult to extricate yourself.” Fang Gu seemed to have been here before and actually reminded everyone in advance.

The more one understands the art of bewitchment and dreams, the more one can appreciate the terrifying power contained therein. This must be the mechanism used by King Qin - Ying Zheng to prevent outsiders from disturbing him.

He has been sleeping for more than two thousand years. Unless he can survive like the stone servants at the door who never die, other creatures are unlikely to be able to guard his tomb. Naturally, there must be various traps in his tomb to make intruders lost or die...

"We've been walking for so long, why haven't we reached the end of this gallery yet?" Suddenly Zhang Xiaohou asked a question that made everyone suddenly realize that something was wrong.

"Village chief, could this be the Endless Corridor?" Su Xiaoluo said.

Fang Gu nodded, then he looked behind him and said, "Look, we are actually not far from the main entrance."

Several people turned around one after another. Just as Fang Gu said, they were not far from the main gate. It did not look like they had been walking in this gallery for more than ten minutes.

"If the ancient teachings are not deceiving, then this picture should be it." Su Xiaoluo suddenly walked to one of the stone paintings. She stared at a pattern carved with an ancient woman with her bright eyes.

She slowly stretched out her hand, and then gently touched the inscription on it, and at the same time touched the stone woman...

Gradually, Su Xiaoluo seemed to be attracted by something, and then her soul seemed to be hooked into the painting, and her eyes actually revealed different emotions.

"She entered the illusion by herself." Mo Fan looked at Su Xiaoluo in surprise.

Lin Ran nodded and said, "Yeah."

The expression on Su Xiaoluo's face kept changing. Sometimes she was angry, and sometimes she was sad and tearful. Although the transformation was very fast, it was definitely not false.

"She is reading an illusion. This gallery is probably a combination of mental and spatial tricks. If we can't find the key from the illusions of these stone paintings, we will probably be trapped here to death..." Fang Gu said.

Su Xiaoluo just stood there blankly, his emotions changing faster and faster. He didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly a ray of light appeared in front of the endless gallery, and the end suddenly appeared less than a hundred meters away!
In an instant, Su Xiaoluo's eyes regained their own spirit.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Xiaohou hurried over and asked.

Su Xiaoluo shook his head and said, "It seems that only people like us from the Weiju Village can enter here. Others may easily get lost and be trapped to death in this tomb palace."

...Everyone walked through the gallery, and then a spacious front palace appeared in front of everyone. This front palace was built with mournful white stone jade, and the ground was so smooth that you could see your own reflection...

The pillars stood upright, and each one required at least four or five people to hug. They were covered with densely packed patterns and spells that Lin Ran and his companions could not understand at all.

There seemed to be nothing in this former palace. It was empty and only the sound of footsteps echoed.

"Buzz~~~~"

Everyone was moving forward in the same direction, but suddenly the small loach pendant on Mo Fan's neck began to vibrate.

Suddenly, Lin Ran seemed to sense something, and he began to walk forward with big strides.

After a while, everyone saw a magical lotus.

Fang Gu stared at the demon lotus intently. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he spoke up, "I'm afraid we can't find the way forward, because this demon lotus is the lotus of immortality. Ancient teachings say that the bridge to the altar will only appear when the lotus of immortality dies."

"Eternal Life Lotus, is there such a thing in this world? Death, look, I'm going to smash it into pieces." Zhang Xiaohou said.

"You can try." Fang Gu said.

Zhang Xiaohou was very direct. He used his hands to tear the pink-green demon lotus apart with extremely swift movements. In a few moments, he had torn the strange-looking demon lotus into pieces. The lotus petals scattered all over the ground, creating a mess.

To make sure it was dead, Zhang Xiaohou stepped on it a few times and said, "Look, this is..."

Before Zhang Xiaohou could finish his words, the fragments of the demon lotus that had turned into withered petals began to float up, leaving not even a single crumb, and then all flew back to the stone platform.

They stuck together by themselves, and even the dirt and dust from Zhang Xiaohou's steps were all shaken off.

In less than a few seconds, the demon lotus returned to its original appearance. Not even a crack could be found. It was exactly the same as before.

"This..." Zhang Xiaohou was stunned for a moment. Then he used the same trick again.

This time he was even more brutal, almost like destroying a flower with ruthless hands, he almost put it directly into his mouth and chewed it.

But after a while, the demon lotus returned to its original state.

"All of you please step back... Feng Pan-Tian Luo!"

Zhang Xiaohou cast wind magic without hesitation, and the powerful wind wall instantly turned the demon lotus into powder.

But after the strong wind dissipated, all the powder quickly returned to the stone platform and then condensed into that innocent pink-green demon lotus. This scene made Zhang Xiaohou dumbfounded.

"What should we do now? We can't continue wasting time here?" Su Xiaoluo was extremely anxious at the moment.

Millions of people are waiting for them to save them. If they don't reach the Ancient King, Sha Yuan will drift in space again and everything will be over.

Nothing had ever stumped them before, but here they encountered an immortal demon lotus that could not be killed, burned, or chewed...

"It's useless. Even if you use super-level magic to attack this thing, it can still grow back to its original state." Fang Gu said.

"Damn it, we finally got here..." Zhang Xiaohou was extremely unwilling to give up, and he tore and stomped on it wildly again.

"The Lotus of Eternal Life is beautiful, isn't it..." A woman in a white dress appeared, but no one else noticed.

Before Lin Ran could say anything, the woman in the white dress said, "This is a gift for you. Go and absorb it..."

……

At this time in the clock tower, a palm-sized bronze mirror was placed on an old table. A group of people gathered around the table, staring intently at the picture in the bronze mirror.

"It's really them!!" Han Ji's face was full of fatigue, but he couldn't contain his inner excitement.

Originally, they thought that after they jumped into the Evil Abyss, they would completely lose any news of them and could only wait. However, they did not expect that Xie Sang, the village chief of Hua Village, would come and present this bronze mirror. This bronze mirror could just overlook the demon lotus. Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Su Xiaoluo, Fang Gu, and Lin Ran were standing around the demon lotus, worrying about it.

"What kind of plant is this and why can't it be destroyed?" the demon man asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid it's the Immortal Alliance that has been extinct for thousands of years. It is said that it is a divine creature that cannot be killed even by super-level magic. Although there were forbidden spell wizards who killed it in ancient times... it took a lot of effort." Han Ji is worthy of being an old wizard. He recognized it before Xie Sang could speak.

“Forbidden… Forbidden spell? Among them, only Lin Ran has a high-level one. How can he unleash the power of the Forbidden Spell?”

At this time, the palace in front of the tomb

The enchanting lotus is still blooming there quietly. It has existed for who knows how many years. It seems that the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life cannot shake it in the slightest. It is always here alone and fragrant, immortal!

Lin Ran stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

Zhang Xiaohou stepped aside. At this moment, Lin Ran spread out his hands and a flaming dragon appeared, then swallowed the demon lotus in one gulp.

Lin Ran could feel the huge power being swallowed by the fire dragon.

Lin Ran felt that he was about to break through, so he began to use this power to break through.

"You got it..." The woman in the white dress appeared in his spiritual world.

The woman in the white dress waved her hand, and then a picture appeared. The undead rushed towards the pyramid one after another. They were not afraid of the sunlight, and would not die even if they were crushed into powder. They would not die even if the undead crystals shattered. These undead were truly immortal.

"Do you know why you possess the immortal fire? Because you are the king, you can possess the immortal fire... You will make all your people immortal, and relying on the immortal soldiers, you can rule the world little by little. Hahahaha, but now is not the time. We probably have to wait until the fake king passes away. King... We want to rule not only this plane... Only you can accomplish this great feat." The woman in white dress disappeared.

Lin Ran opened his eyes, his fire element had broken through to the super level.

Lin Ran rubbed his head. It seemed like there was someone in his spiritual world just now. Maybe it was an illusion.
