Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 23: Breaking the conspiracy without any trace, showing extraordinary wisdom

The disciple lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "They said... in an ancient ruin, there is a peerless treasure hidden! It is said that it is a magical artifact left by the ancient great man, and obtaining it can make you reach the sky in one step!" Xiao Bei raised his eyebrows. Why does this routine seem a bit familiar?

"Which ruins?" he asked with feigned curiosity.

"It's the 'Netherworld Ghost Cave' in Black Wind Ridge!" the disciple blurted out with a hint of fear, "That place is very evil. Nine out of ten people who go in will never come back..."

"Ghost Cave of the Netherworld? Divine Artifact?" Xiao Bei touched his chin, pretending to be in deep thought.

He had heard a little about this place, and it was indeed extremely dangerous, but with his current strength, plus the assistance of the system, he was not completely without a chance.

However, the news came too suddenly, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

After returning to the room, Xiao Bei immediately turned on the system detection function and soon discovered the clues.

"Hehe, Liu Meng, Senior Sister Zhao, you two are really still harboring evil intentions!" Xiao Bei sneered. The system showed that the person who spread the news was none other than the confidant of Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao.

They deliberately spread the news to lure him into the trap.

There is no magical weapon in this "Netherworld Ghost Cave", it is clearly an elaborately designed trap!

"Want to trick me? Then I'll play with you." Xiao Bei raised a cunning arc at the corner of his mouth.

He deliberately spread the word that he was determined to obtain the artifact in the "Netherworld Ghost Cave" and was preparing to go there on a certain day.

Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao were ecstatic when they heard the news.

They have already laid a tight net in the "Netherworld Ghost Cave", waiting for Xiao Bei to fall into it.

Before leaving, Xiao Bei found Bei Li.

"Li'er, there's a great place. Do you want to explore it together?"

When Bei Li heard about adventure, her eyes lit up immediately. She hugged Xiao Bei's arm and said excitedly, "Go! Of course I have to go! I love adventure the most!"

Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li's excitement and couldn't help but smile.

With her around, this adventure will definitely not be boring.

"This place is a bit dangerous, you have to follow me closely." Xiao Bei warned.

"I know, I know!" Bei Li waved her hands impatiently, "You always say that, I'm not a child!"

Seeing Bei Li eager to try, Xiao Bei smiled slightly, but had a plan in mind.

"Let's go." Xiao Bei took Bei Li's hand and walked towards the "Netherworld Ghost Cave".

As night fell, two figures quietly approached the entrance of the Netherworld Ghost Cave...

Xiao Bei and Bei Li stepped into the Netherworld Ghost Cave, and a cold breath hit them in the face.

The cave is dimly lit, full of strange rocks, and creepy noises can be heard from time to time.

Bei Li tightly grasped Xiao Bei's arm and whispered, "It's eerie and a little scary here."

Xiao Bei chuckled: "What are you afraid of? I'm here." While saying this, he deliberately stepped on a loose stone slab and triggered a small mechanism.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound echoed in the cave, and several poisonous arrows were shot out from the darkness.

"Oh my god, this is serious!" Xiao Bei shouted exaggeratedly, pulling Bei Li away nimbly.

Although Beili was a little scared, she gradually calmed down when she saw Xiao Bei's calmness.

Seeing this, Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao, who were hiding in the dark, looked at each other and smiled triumphantly on their faces.

"This kid has taken the bait!" Liu Meng whispered, "Wait until he gets a little deeper, then we'll activate the formation and make it impossible for him to escape!"

Xiao Bei continued to go deeper and deliberately triggered some small mechanisms to make Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao more convinced that he had fallen into the trap.

"This kid is really greedy. Even at this time, he is still looking for treasures." Senior Sister Zhao said sarcastically.

Finally, Xiao Bei came to an empty cave.

"Li'er, be careful, something seems to be wrong here." Xiao Bei said with pretended vigilance.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao jumped out from the dark and surrounded Xiao Bei and Bei Li.

"Xiao Bei, you didn't expect that we would be waiting for you here!" Liu Meng said with a grin.

"Oh? Really?" Xiao Bei raised a playful smile.

He had already learned of Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao's ambush through system detection and deliberately lured them here.

Senior Sister Zhao snorted coldly: "Stop pretending, you've fallen into our trap!" Spiritual power surged in her hands, preparing to launch an attack.

Just then, Xiao Bei moved.

He suddenly appeared behind Liu Meng like a ghost and slapped him on the back.

Liu Meng was caught off guard and was knocked away. He fell heavily to the ground and vomited blood.

"What?!" Senior Sister Zhao was shocked.

She didn't expect Xiao Bei to be so fast and be able to accurately predict their attack route.

"That's all?" Xiao Bei clapped his hands and looked at Senior Sister Zhao with disdain. "You're just showing off your skills in front of an expert?"

Senior Sister Zhao's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be complacent. We still have a backup plan!" Then, she pulled out a jade talisman from her bosom...

Senior Sister Zhao crushed the jade talisman, a dazzling white light flashed, and a huge formation instantly enveloped the entire cave.

"This is the 'Dragon Trapping Formation,' designed to deal with arrogant people like you!" Senior Sister Zhao said smugly, "Just wait for your death in there!"

Xiao Bei pretended to be panicked and shouted, "What the hell is this thing? Let me out!" While shouting, he secretly observed the structure of the formation.

The system quickly analyzed the data of the formation and simulated a cracking method in Xiao Bei's mind.

"Haha, just a mere trifle." Xiao Bei sneered in his heart, but pretended to be terrified on the surface.

He began to run around in the formation, deliberately triggering some small mechanisms to make Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao mistakenly believe that he was trapped.

"Haha, look at how miserable he is, he deserves it!" Liu Meng looked at Xiao Bei struggling in the formation, his heart filled with pleasure.

Senior Sister Zhao also smiled smugly and said, "He overestimates his own abilities. Now let's see what else he can do!"

Just when they were getting too proud of themselves, Xiao Bei suddenly stopped.

He took a deep breath, a gleam in his eyes.

"It's time to fight back!" He whispered, the spiritual power in his body circulated wildly, and a powerful force burst out from him.

He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Strange runes flew out from his hands and merged into the formation.

"What is he doing?" Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao felt a little uneasy when they saw this.

The next moment, the entire formation vibrated violently, making a loud rumbling sound.

"Oh no! He's trying to break the formation!" Senior Sister Zhao's face changed drastically and she exclaimed.

Liu Meng was also panicked and hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power to stabilize the formation.

However, it was too late.

With a loud bang, the formation shattered and turned into starlight that dissipated in the air.

"What's going on?!" Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao were stunned, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

Xiao Bei walked out of the formation, dusted himself off, and said calmly, "I told you, it's just a trifle." He glanced at Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor from deep within the cave, and the ground began to collapse.

"Oh no! The ruins are about to collapse!" Xiao Bei's face changed and he hurriedly pulled Bei Li out.

Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao were also frightened out of their wits and hurriedly followed Xiao Bei to escape.

However, the ruins collapsed too quickly and they had no time to escape.

"Ah!" A scream was heard, and Liu Meng was hit by a falling boulder, and his life or death was unknown.

Senior Sister Zhao was also in danger and was about to be buried in the rubble.

Xiao Bei looked back, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. "Save him, or not?"

Just then, he saw a ray of light deep in the ruins.

"That is..." Xiao Bei's heart moved, and he rushed towards the direction of the light regardless of danger.

"Xiao Bei! You're crazy!" Bei Li exclaimed.

Xiao Bei ignored Bei Li's calls. He passed through numerous obstacles and finally arrived at the source of the light.

There, he saw a gem emitting brilliant light.

"This is... the real treasure!" Xiao Bei was ecstatic and grabbed the pearl.

The moment he grabbed the orb, the entire ruins collapsed completely.

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li shouted in despair.

"I'm so glad you're okay!"

Beili snuggled up to Xiao Bei, and being particularly clingy after surviving the disaster made her.

"You are so smart. You can always get out of danger. You are simply my guardian angel!" She said with a smile, her eyes shining with admiration.

Xiao Bei touched her head lovingly, "No big deal, just sprinkle some water~" He shrugged as if he was nonchalant, but in his heart he was secretly glad for the power of the system.

If the system had not detected the danger in advance and provided an escape route, we might have really capsized this time.

The gem in my hand, which I got from the depths of the ruins, is now emitting a soft light, and the warm touch is refreshing.

This gem is the real treasure that the system prompted, and it is called "Qiankun Pearl".

"This thing looks ordinary, but it can cause such a big commotion. There must be some shocking secret hidden in it!" Xiao Bei thought to himself as he stroked the gem.

The system popped up at the right moment: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Qian Kun Pearl'. Unlock the hidden mission: Explore the secrets of the Qian Kun Pearl! Mission reward: Unknown."

"Unknown? This is really a suspense..." Xiao Bei curled his lips, but unknown rewards are often more tempting, and his heart was full of anticipation.

After returning to the sect, Xiao Bei immediately found his master and recounted his experience with exaggeration. Of course, he concealed the existence of the system and the secret of the Qiankun Pearl.

After hearing this, the master couldn't help but praise him, "Disciple, you did a great job this time! Not only did you see through Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao's plot, but you also escaped unscathed. You're truly a formidable young talent!"

Xiao Bei smiled modestly, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

This time, not only did he obtain the treasure, but he also slapped Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao in the face. It was really killing two birds with one stone!

After dealing with these trivial matters, Xiao Bei couldn't wait to return to his room and prepare to study this mysterious Qiankun Pearl carefully.

"Li'er, you go and rest first. I have something to take care of." Xiao Bei said to Bei Li.

Although Beili was curious, she nodded sensibly and left Xiao Bei's room.

After closing the door, Xiao Bei placed the Qiankun Pearl in his hand, concentrated his mind and tried to communicate with it.

Suddenly, the Qiankun Pearl shone brightly, and a powerful suction force enveloped Xiao Bei...

"Oh my god! What's going on?!" Xiao Bei exclaimed, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

At the same time, deep within the sect, an ancient secret cultivation room suddenly opened...

A white-haired old man slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "The Qiankun Pearl has appeared. It seems that the time has come..."
