"Hehehehe..."
"Lowly creature, since you're here, you might as well stay and keep your grandpa company!"
A sinister, hoarse laugh suddenly echoed from the darkness, making Luo Xiu's scalp tingle. But Luo Xiu had already recovered and wasn't the least bit panicked. In such pitch-black darkness, anyone would be intimidated by the unknown. However, after being ambushed twice in a row, he had figured out what the other party was.
"You've co at just the right ti. Perfect for trying out my new toy." Luo Xiu's lips curved into a smile as he reached out, and a bronze mirror appeared out of thin air in his hand. It was the Sun Well he had just found!
As the Sun Well was activated, a terrifying heat instantly spread out, emitting a dazzling light!
To Luo Xiu's surprise, the light from the Sun Well wasn't being devoured by the darkness. The light's range wasn't wide, however, illuminating only a radius of a dozen ters or so, its power likely diminished by the oppressive darkness of the place.
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey! That's enough, kid! Knock it off!" As Luo Xiu revealed the powerful magical treasure, an anxious and fearful voice, one he found incredibly familiar, suddenly cried out from the darkness ahead.
He tilted the Sun Well's mirror upwards. "Keep playing, then!"
WHOOSH! A vase flew in front of him, and Master Ping's voice erged from it. "Damn it... Can't you take a joke? It's , Master Ping! I was just ssing around, and you had to get all serious!"
As it turned out, the "Void Creature" that had been launching sneak attacks from the dark was none other than Master Ping. After being ambushed twice, Luo Xiu had already guessed it was him.
If it had been a real Void Creature, the ambush would have been lethal. How could it just be a light bump, like Master Ping did?
Luo Xiu's face darkened. "You damn sandbagger, how did you end up here too?"
"Of course, I was worried about you, so I secretly followed," Master Ping replied. "Besides, Shan Shan begged to. For her sake, I'm doing you this favor."
Luo Xiu pursed his lips. "No wonder my Divine Sense couldn't detect you. I suppose only you in this entire world would know how to evade it."
"Heh heh, you flatter ."
Luo Xiu was about to speak again when he suddenly frowned and surveyed his surroundings warily. With the Sun Well illuminating the area, he noticed wisps of gray gas drifting about.
He suddenly asked, "Won't being in a place like this get you infected?"
"Don't worry," Master Ping laughed. "This Void Virus only infects creatures of flesh and blood. Since I've reverted to my artifact form, it can't do anything to ." He then asked curiously, "By the way, where did you find a magical treasure like this?"
Luo Xiu knew he was referring to the Sun Well and smiled. "This is the Sun Well. I found it in a Corpse Nest before coming here."
"Speaking of which, this was a magical treasure I used in my past life. I must have lost it sowhere, and it was picked up by those scrubs from the Celestial Realm."
"To be honest," Master Ping said, "I've read about the Sun Well in the *Divine Register*. This artifact is no simple matter. The mirror's surface is like a well connected to the Indestructible Divine Fla. Of course, to be precise, it connects to the corpse of the Indestructible Divine Fla."
Luo Xiu was surprised. "The Indestructible Divine Fla has a corpse?"
"Naturally," Master Ping explained. "That Indestructible Divine Fla was much more powerful than the one you carry. It had already cultivated into a creature of flesh and blood called the 'Lord of the Divine Fla.'"
Luo Xiu nodded. "The Sun Well ntioned that before."
"It's a pity the Lord of the Divine Fla was unable to break through that final barrier," Master Ping continued. "Its lifespan was exhausted, and its corpse ultimately beca a sun that has existed for billions of years. And this so-called Sun Well can connect directly to the corpse of the Lord of the Divine Fla, allowing you to draw upon the power of the Indestructible Divine Fla."
"You know quite a lot," Luo Xiu remarked.
"Of course! I've existed for ages! I used to roam the Celestial Realm before I fell into the Kunlun Ancient Realm."
Catching the slly vase off guard, Luo Xiu suddenly grabbed it and roared, "I don't care how long you've existed, you dared to ambush !" He yanked it in front of him, unfastened his trousers, and prepared to relieve himself into the vase's mouth, treating it like a chamber pot.
Master Ping beca frantic, struggling with all his might. "Damn it, damn it! You're playing dirty, kid!"
"Admit you were wrong?"
"Wrong, I was wrong! Master Ping was wrong!"
"Still calling yourself 'Master'?"
"This little brother was wrong."
Only then did Luo Xiu release Master Ping. Of course, he was just ssing around. He would never actually use Master Ping as a chamber pot.
After they fooled around for a while, Luo Xiu prepared to get down to business: casting the seal. The Wood Path Law he had mastered was different from the Lightning Principle. His Lightning Principle was inherently destructive, whereas the Wood Path Law's nature was sealing.
A long ti passed.
When Luo Xiu finally finished covering the great hole above with the Azure Heaven Seal, he was panting from exhaustion. The seal's drain on his Divine Sense was simply imnse.
Master Ping perched on Luo Xiu's shoulder and asked curiously, "Say, is this seal of yours really going to work?"
Luo Xiu wiped the sweat from his brow. "This seal is stronger than the one I cast in my previous life. Besides the inherent 'sealing' of the Wood Path Law, it also incorporates the 'destruction' of the Lightning Principle and the 'stasis' of the Wind Dao Principle. With the three combined, if anything from The Void dares to approach, it will be instantly annihilated!"
"Sounds pretty powerful," Master Ping praised.
Luo Xiu said no more. He took a deep breath, bit his index finger, and channeled the Power of the Wood Path Law, drawing a rune in the air before him and sending it into the Azure Heaven Seal.
As the seal activated, it suddenly burst forth with light! The radiance of the combined Power of Laws was so brilliant that not even the darkness of this place could engulf it. Countless tiny, tri-colored bolts of lightning instantly filled the entire dark space. The gray mist floating in the air was captured and absorbed by the lightning in a flash before being pulled into the seal.
Luo Xiu clapped his hands. "All done!"
Master Ping laughed. "I didn't expect it to be this easy. Why did the Celestial chanism Elder have to be so cryptic about it?"
Luo Xiu smiled faintly. "Let's get out of here. This damned place is too depressing."
"Speaking of which, when we get back to Yan Huang Star, you owe a palace," Master Ping remarked.
"Sure thing. I'll build you the biggest one and even find you a bunch of maids—the kind who wear black stockings."
"..."
The two continued to joke around as they prepared to head back, but a strange suction force suddenly emanated from the great hole, locking onto them both.
"Damn it, what's happening!" Master Ping cried out in alarm. "Does your seal trap us too?"
Luo Xiu's heart suddenly pounded with urgency; he had no idea what was happening. The suction was so strong that he couldn't resist it!
In just a mont, the pair were yanked into the great hole, plunging into the ultimate darkness.
