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

Chapter 515: Exploring the Mystery of the Ruins: Xiao Bei is Confused

The earth shook and rocks fell like rain.

Xiao Bei only felt a huge force coming from under his feet, and he was almost knocked to the ground.

He grabbed Beili and steady himself, but found that Beili was looking at him strangely.

"Xiao Bei, you...your eyes..." Bei Li's voice was trembling.

Xiao Bei's heart sank, and he quickly practiced the Golden Bell Cover technique to suppress the restless black power in his body.

hateful!

At this critical moment, this force comes out to cause trouble again!

He felt his consciousness begin to blur and the scenery before his eyes became distorted.

"Roar!" A deafening roar came from the depths of the ruins, and two huge guardian beasts broke out of the rocks.

The first guardian beast of the ruins is covered with thick scales, like a moving steel fortress; the second guardian beast of the ruins is agile, as fast as lightning, and has a pair of sharp claws that flash with cold light.

"Beili, be careful!" Xiao Beiqiang cheered himself up and protected Beili behind him.

"Hmph, just two small monsters, look at me..." Before Xiao Bei could finish his words, the guardian beast armor of the ruins suddenly rushed over. The huge impact force made him retreat repeatedly, and he almost hit Bei Li behind him.

"Oh my god, this power is too outrageous!" Xiao Bei complained and quickly steadied himself.

The ruins guardian beast B took the opportunity to attack from the side, and its sharp claws went straight for Xiao Bei's throat.

Xiao Bei dodged sideways and slapped the ruins guardian beast B with his backhand.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the guardian beast B of the ruins was knocked back several steps, but it quickly adjusted its posture and pounced again.

"Xiao Bei, don't fight hard, let's retreat first!" Bei Li shouted anxiously.

"Retreat? We finally found a clue, how can we give up so easily!" Xiao Bei

"Xiao Bei, calm down!" Bei Li grabbed Xiao Bei's arm, trying to wake him up. "Look at your eyes, what have they become!"

Xiao Bei suddenly shook off Bei Li's hand and stared at her with cold eyes: "Are you annoying?! Get out of the way!"

Xiao Bei's eyes were now completely covered with a layer of scarlet blood, like an evil ghost crawling out of the abyss of hell, full of bloodthirsty madness.

A strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had become a different person. Where was the shadow of the sunny and cheerful Xiao Bei in his daily life?

Black aura surged around him, and he was like a huge black hole, absorbing all the light around him.

"Annoying? In the way?" Xiao Bei repeated his words sinisterly, his voice low and hoarse, sounding chilling.

He suddenly raised his hand, and a black energy wave condensed instantly and slammed towards Beili fiercely.

Beili widened her eyes, never expecting Xiao Bei to attack her.

The powerful pressure brought by the energy fluctuation made her terrified.

She instinctively dodged and avoided the attack in a panic. Her eyes, which were originally full of worry, were now filled with sadness and disbelief.

She looked at Xiao Bei, tears falling uncontrollably, and murmured, "Xiao Bei, you...how could you..."

Xiao Bei seemed not to hear Bei Li's voice, and the madness in his eyes became even more intense.

He attacked Beili again like an out-of-control fighting machine.

His punches were fierce and each one carried great power, as if he wanted to tear Beili into pieces.

Bei Li could only dodge while trying to awaken Xiao Bei's sanity, but it was all in vain.

In the interval between attacks, a flash of clarity came to Xiao Bei's mind. He looked at Bei Li who was dodging in fear and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

What is he doing?

How could he attack Beili?

However, the black power seemed to have life, tightly binding his consciousness and making him unable to control his body.

At this moment, Bei Li stopped dodging. She let Xiao Bei's fist hit her hard, but she hugged him tightly in her arms, tears pouring out like a dam bursting, "Xiao Bei... wake up, don't be like this, wuwuwu..."

Feeling Bei Li's warm embrace and real temperature, Xiao Bei's body shook violently, and the madness in his heart seemed to be extinguished and gradually dissipated.

His originally bloodshot eyes gradually regained clarity. Looking at Beili, who was crying in his arms, he felt endless guilt and self-blame.

He reached out his hand, gently wiped Beili's tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry... I..."

The roars of the surrounding guardian beasts rose one after another, and the ruins and rubble were filled with a dangerous atmosphere. However, this warm and touching scene seemed particularly abrupt, like a small boat in a storm, weak yet tenacious.

"Xiao Bei, you're finally back." Bei Li hugged Xiao Bei tightly, as if wanting to merge him into her body, with a hint of relief in her voice for surviving the disaster.

Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li. He pushed Bei Li away suddenly. A complicated light flashed in his eyes again. He muttered to himself: "I... I can't stay here!"

He didn't even glance at Beili, nor did he pay attention to the surrounding guardian beasts. Instead, he turned around and ran deeper into the ruins without looking back...

Xiao Bei's actions stunned all the creatures present.

The two guardian beasts looked at each other in bewilderment. They obviously didn't expect that this human would suddenly run away. This was not according to the rules!

Beili was also confused. He looked like he was going to fight her to the death just now, so why did he run away now?

But she didn't think much about it. Worried about Xiao Bei's safety, she quickly chased after him, cursing in her heart: What is this guy doing again!

Xiao Bei ran wildly all the way, so fast that only a shadow was left, and the guardian beast behind him was left far behind.

He could feel the black power in his body clamoring wildly, trying to completely control his body.

But he knew that he couldn't let this force succeed, he had to find a way to control it.

As he ran, Xiao Bei's eyes suddenly opened up and a huge stone chamber appeared in front of him.

In the center of the stone chamber, a white-haired old man was sitting cross-legged, as if he had been waiting here for a thousand years.

The old man had white hair and a youthful face, and he looked like an immortal. He exuded an awe-inspiring aura, but his deep eyes held a hint of vicissitudes and helplessness.

"Young man, you are finally here." The old man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a torch, as if he could see through everything about Xiao Bei.

"Who are you?" Xiao Bei suppressed the restlessness in his heart and asked vigilantly.

"I am just a remnant soul guarding this relic, not worth mentioning." The old man smiled slightly, his voice gentle but with a hint of ancient air.

Xiao Bei was shocked. A remnant soul?

There is such an operation!

It seems that this old man is of great importance, but now is not the time to worry about these things.

"Senior, what is going on with this power in my body? How can I control it?" Xiao Bei asked anxiously, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

The old man stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "The power of an ancient curse resides within you, brimming with destructive force. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous. The only way to control it is..." The old man paused, his gaze deepening, "to suppress it with even greater power, or to find its source and eradicate it completely."

As Xiao Bei listened to the old man's words, his heart was filled with hope, as if the clouds had parted and the blue sky was revealed.

This old man really knows some inside information. This trip to explore the ruins was not in vain!

"Boy, seeing that your forehead is black, I'm afraid you have been tortured by this power recently!" The old man smiled jokingly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"That's right! I'm almost destroyed by this power!" Xiao Bei also smiled, and the originally depressing atmosphere suddenly became a little relaxed.

At this moment, Beili also caught up and saw Xiao Bei and the old man talking happily. She became even more confused, but she did not interrupt them. Instead, she stood quietly aside, waiting for Xiao Bei's explanation.

"Okay, kid, this is all I can say. Next, you..." The old man stopped talking suddenly before he finished speaking. He looked at Xiao Bei deeply, and there seemed to be something unspeakable in his eyes.

Then he slowly stood up and walked towards the depths of the stone chamber.

"Wait, senior, you haven't finished yet!" Xiao Bei asked hurriedly, but the old man ignored him and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Xiao Bei, what is going on?" Bei Li walked to Xiao Bei, looked at him and asked with confusion.

Xiao Bei didn't answer her. He just felt his heart skip a beat. Then he turned his head and looked deep into the stone chamber. There, something seemed to be calling him.

Deep in the stone chamber, the darkness was as black as ink, as if swallowing up all light.

Xiao Bei and Bei Li stayed for a while at the place where the old man disappeared. After making sure that the old man would not appear again, they found a relatively clean place to rest.

"Come, let me wipe the sweat off your face." Bei Li took out a clean silk handkerchief from the storage ring and gently wiped the sweat off Xiao Bei's forehead.

Her movements were gentle,

Xiao Bei felt Bei Li's gentleness and his heart was filled with tenderness.

She was like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the haze in his heart.

He held Beili's hand and gently placed it on his cheek, feeling the warmth of her fingertips.

An ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two of them, as if the air had become sweet.

"Xiao Bei, are you okay?" Bei Li looked at Xiao Bei. She knew that Xiao Bei had just been eroded by that mysterious power. Although he was awake now, he must be feeling bad.

"I'm fine. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything." Xiao Bei smiled slightly.

The two snuggled together, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

However, Xiao Bei's heart was not calm.

He always felt that the old man's words seemed unfinished and the clues he provided seemed incomplete.

He frowned and took out the clue left by the old man from the storage ring. It was an ancient jade slip with some obscure words engraved on it. Xiao Bei carefully studied the words on the jade slip, trying to find some clues from it.

"What's wrong, Xiao Bei? Is something wrong?" Bei Li couldn't help asking when he saw Xiao Bei's solemn expression.

"Well, I always feel that this clue is incomplete." Xiao Bei frowned, looking a little annoyed.

He looked at it carefully again and again, but still felt that something was missing.

He studied the jade slip over and over again, but still made no new discoveries, and the feeling of irritation in his heart became more and more intense.

He threw the jade slip to the ground with a loud sound.

"Bang!" The jade slip fell to the ground, but did not break. It lay there quietly, as if mocking Xiao Bei's incompetence.

Xiao Bei scratched his hair in annoyance. He hated the feeling of being led by the nose, and he hated the feeling of being powerless even more.

He really wanted to smash the relic to pieces with one punch.

Beili looked at Xiao Bei. She knew that Xiao Bei was a man who never gave up, but now he was stumped by this clue. He must be feeling very uncomfortable.

She walked gently to Xiao Bei and wanted to comfort him, but when she saw Xiao Bei's expression, she stopped abruptly.

Xiao Bei's eyes were fixed on the jade slip on the ground. His expression was extremely solemn, like the calm before the storm, which made Bei Li's heart sink suddenly.

Xiao Bei slowly bent down and stretched out his hand. His fingertips lightly touched the jade slip. At this moment, he suddenly raised his head.
