It must be said that West Lake, no matter which world it is in, is always this beautiful.
The water sparkles beautifully on a sunny day, and the misty mountains are equally enchanting in the rain.
If you want to compare West Lake to Xi Shi, she is beautiful whether she is lightly or heavily made up.
Su Shi's poem perfectly captures the boundless beauty of West Lake.
Li Yao gazed at the lotus blossoms of West Lake, remaining silent.
After a long while, he finally turned his gaze to Leifeng Pagoda beside West Lake.
Then he strolled away.
His purpose in this trip was none other than to obtain the sacred stone alms bowl.
Li Yao knew that more than a hundred years ago, the divine stone was obtained by the immortal god of the Search God Palace.
The god of immortality was Bu Jingyun's ancestor.
The Bu clan is called a divine clan because every hundred years, an amazing genius appears in their family.
Examples include: "Sword God", "Knife God", "Fist God", and so on.
Moreover, these people all share the same name: Bu Jingyun.
Even their appearances are exactly the same.
Perhaps this extraordinary talent was envied by the heavens, as almost no one from the Bu family lived past forty.
Until several hundred years ago, a member of the Bu clan created the Divine Technique of Moving Heaven.
This divine skill can grant practitioners immortality, thus breaking this fate.
The one who breaks this fate is the god of immortality.
However, this person was too ambitious, attempting to become the only god in the world.
Therefore, he established the Palace of Searching for Gods, intending to secretly control the world.
After obtaining the divine stone, the god of immortality forged it into the most powerful super weapon in the world: the alms bowl.
Today, the alms bowl should still be kept at the base of Leifeng Pagoda to prevent the water of West Lake from flowing back into the Earth's core.
Soon, Li Yao appeared at the foot of Leifeng Pagoda.
He looked up at Leifeng Pagoda.
Immediately, he flashed and appeared on the top of the tower like a feather in the wind.
Soon, he discovered four lines of powerful characters on one of the tiles at the top of the tower:
"When West Lake dries up, the rivers and lakes become still; when Leifeng Pagoda collapses, the White Snake is born!"
Li Yao knew, of course, that these sixteen characters were deliberately left by the High Priest of the Search God Palace, with the aim of luring Bu Jingyun into the tower, but Nie Feng was the first to see them.
Li Yao didn't think much of it, but instead turned his gaze to the exquisitely carved columnar spire.
Immediately, he gripped the spire tightly and twisted it forcefully to the left.
Crush!
A dull creak of machinery turning filled the air.
The four triangular roof tiles are like four trapdoors, all tilting inwards, while the support structure and spire of the tower remain unchanged.
Immediately, Li Yao's feet lost their footing, and his body plummeted uncontrollably downwards.
Each floor inside the tower was like two trapdoors, collapsing downwards.
Li Yao's body felt as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss, constantly plummeting downwards.
Meanwhile, in a small village a few miles away from Leifeng Pagoda, two women seemed to sense something.
Their expressions suddenly changed drastically, and they all looked in the direction of Leifeng Pagoda.
"Xueyuan, Leifeng Pagoda has suddenly been opened. Something bad may have happened. It seems someone wants to take the divine stone. We must go and stop them as soon as possible," a woman said hurriedly.
“Yes, the sacred stone is related to the stability of the land of China and cannot be moved,” another woman said, frowning.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two women moved and used their lightness skills to fly towards Leifeng Pagoda.
Li Yao continued to fall inside the tower.
Just as he was about to fall to the first floor of Leifeng Pagoda, the stone floor at the bottom of the pagoda suddenly opened up to reveal a bottomless stone cave.
This change was exactly what he had anticipated.
This stone cave is not vertical; it has an angle and is a passageway that you can slide through.
So he quickly adjusted his body, found a place to grab onto, and slid down the tunnel.
Soon, he passed through the passageway and entered a huge cave.
He continued forward.
Along the way, he encountered many traps and mechanisms.
However, Li Yao not only cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, making him invulnerable to swords and spears, but he also possessed profound internal energy to protect his body.
Therefore, these traps and mechanisms were like paper tigers to him, completely vulnerable.
After traveling for a short while, he arrived at a cave that was much larger than the one he had just entered.
He stood in the center of the cave, carefully examining its structure.
He discovered that the cave floor was riddled with holes, and there were seventy-two openings in the cave walls.
It seems this is where Nie Feng encountered the seventy-one giant stone traps.
However, this mechanism should have already been destroyed by Nie Feng.
Therefore, there should be no more mechanisms now.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar shook the entire cave, as if it were about to collapse.
"No way!"
"The mechanism is still there!"
Li Yao was somewhat surprised.
However, upon closer reflection, it's not actually that strange.
The mechanism here was likely restored by the goddess Xiaoqing and the goddess Xueyuan to prevent anyone from coveting the divine stone bowl.
The cave kept shaking, and small stones fell down in a rustling sound.
Suddenly, huge rocks rolled out of the seventy-one cave entrances like lightning.
There was only one opening from which the boulder did not roll out, and above this opening were five small characters: Tomb of Bai Suzhen!
Seventy-one boulders, each ten feet in diameter, rolled toward Li Yao from all directions toward the center of the cave, instantly sealing off all his escape routes and threatening to crush him into mincemeat.
At the same time, countless chilling short swords suddenly rained down from the cave ceiling, dense as rain, sealing off the airspace that the boulder could not reach.
Even if you could jump upwards to avoid the boulder, you would inevitably be riddled with quills by the short swords at the top of the cave.
There's no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to hell!
This is a deadly trap!
It seems there are only two possible outcomes: either you turn into mincemeat or you turn into a hedgehog!
Faced with such a predicament, even the top masters in the martial arts world would be helpless.
In the original novel, when faced with this deadly trap, Nie Feng used his Wind God Leg technique, which was like a lightning bolt drilling through a hole in one of the boulders, and then hid inside.
This method is indeed ingenious, but it's a bit too pathetic.
This is not in line with Li Yao's style.
For Li Yao, it was simply a matter of brute force against the boulders and the rain of swords; there was no need for anything more complicated.
After thinking it over, his expression suddenly changed, his muscles bulged, and he instantly transformed into an ancient wild beast, exuding an incomparably domineering aura.
Suddenly, he pushed his hands outward with force.
Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm!
boom!
A deafening roar.
A powerful, deep red aura suddenly exploded.
Like a tsunami, it swept out in all directions, surging and turbulent.
At the same time, the originally dark cave was instantly illuminated by the deep red energy.
Under this domineering and fierce force, the short sword above the cave instantly emitted a sound of being unable to bear the weight.
Ding ding dong...
The short swords, raining down like a storm, shattered into powder as if tempered glass had been broken.
Rumble!
Amidst the deafening roar, the seventy-one massive boulders that had been rolling in were blasted into small stones by the powerful force of the impact, as if a heavy bomb had exploded from the center.
The enormous commotion caused the entire cave to shake violently several times, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting apart.
In an instant, debris flew everywhere and dust filled the air.
A moment later, the dust settled, and the cave returned to calm.
Li Yao's gaze fell upon the cave entrance inscribed with the five small characters "Tomb of Bai Suzhen".
Chapter 221 The Divine Technique of Shifting Heaven (3000 words)
Of the seventy-two cave entrances, seventy-one had boulders rolling out, but no boulders rolled out of the cave entrance above which was inscribed with "Tomb of Bai Suzhen".
Clearly, the clue to the divine stone lies within it.
