Chapter 340: Immortal Formation, Demon God of Dust
Just as the three were puzzled, pillars of light suddenly rose up in the valley. They were arranged in a certain pattern, forming a huge magic circle.
There seemed to be a powerful force gathering in the center of the magic circle.
"Is this... an immortal magic formation?" Yun Ge said in surprise.
Paimon seemed a little nervous. He grabbed the corner of Ying's clothes tightly and asked in a low voice: "Ying, what should we do?"
Ying frowned slightly, analyzing the situation.
The magic arrays set up by immortals are usually extremely powerful. Now that they have been activated, there may be greater dangers next.
"Let's leave here first." Ying said decisively. She didn't want to let Yun Ge and Paimeng fall into unknown danger.
However, just as they were about to leave, the power in the center of the magic circle had already reached its peak.
A dazzling light shot up into the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the entire valley began to shake.
"Let's go!" Ying shouted, and she quickly pulled up Yun Ge and Paimeng, spread her wings of wind, and flew out of the valley.
Behind them, the power of the magic circle exploded completely, forming a powerful shock wave that swallowed up everything around it.
After a while, the light dissipated and the valley returned to calm, but the original magic circle and light column had disappeared.
Ying took Yun Ge and Paimeng to a safe place and landed slowly.
"It was so thrilling!" Paimeng patted his chest with lingering fear.
Yun Ge also looked frightened. She looked at the medicine basket in her hand that contained the Jingchen Flower and said with emotion, "Fortunately, we got the Jingchen Flower. It can be said that the adventure was not in vain."
Ying nodded and said, "But the magic circle in this valley is too mysterious, and I don't know where it came from."
"No matter what, let's go back to the village first. The villagers are still waiting for this Jingchen Flower to save their lives." Yun Ge said.
"Okay~" Ying and Paimeng nodded, and then the three of them returned the same way.
Suddenly, just as they turned around and prepared to leave, a low and melodious chanting sound suddenly came from the valley, like an ancient call, or the awakening of some mysterious power.
Yun Ge, Ying and Paimeng stopped involuntarily and looked back.
I saw beams of light rising up from where the magic circle was originally located. They slowly rotated and formed a huge vortex of light.
In the center of the vortex, something seemed to be rising slowly.
"What is that?" Yun Ge asked nervously, holding the medicine basket tightly.
Ying stared at the vortex of light, then immediately grabbed Yun Ge and Paimon's hands and ran out.
"It may be dangerous, let's go!"
Wave--
At this moment, a sound like bubbles bursting was heard, and a strong suction force suddenly came out from the center of the vortex in the valley, locking the three people tightly.
Ying felt that the suction was extremely strong, and even she couldn't easily break free.
"Hold on to me, don't let go!" Ying shouted loudly, while mobilizing the elemental power throughout her body to try to resist the suction.
But it was all in vain. The three of them were suddenly sucked into the vortex by the powerful suction force, and their eyes were suddenly plunged into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a strange place.
There was dust flying all around and the wind was howling. The three of them stood in this unknown land, surrounded by vast desert and no sign of life.
"Where is this?" Yun Ge looked around, feeling confused.
Paimon tightly grasped the corner of Ying's clothes and whispered, "Have we been teleported to another world?"
Ying took a deep breath and tried to calm her emotions. She knew that now was not the time to panic.
She observed the surrounding environment and said, "Don't panic yet, we have to find a way back."
Yun Ge nodded. She opened the medicine basket and confirmed that the Jingchen Flower was still there, which made her feel relieved.
"Well, no matter what, I can't give up. The patients in the village are still waiting for me to go back and treat them."
Ying said no more. She closed her eyes, feeling the flow of elements around her, trying to find any possible clues.
However, the elements here are extremely thin, as if they had been extracted by some force.
"The elemental power here is so weak." Ying said with a frown.
Ying's words also made Yun Ge and Paimeng feel a little uneasy.
The thinness of elemental power means that they may not be able to rely on Ying's elemental skills to deal with possible crises.
"Doctor Yun Ge, since we were teleported here by that magic circle, perhaps the key to going back is also related to the magic circle. The reason why this magic circle was activated was that I picked the Pure Dust Flower. You also said before that the Pure Dust Flower was transformed by the power of the Demon God of Dust. Is it possible that the Pure Dust Flower can resonate with some kind of power here, and find a way to go back?" Ying looked at Yun Ge and put forward his own idea.
Yun Ge thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's possible, but I'm not sure how to do it."
"Just give it a try."
As Ying spoke, he took out the Dust-Purifying Flower from the medicine basket and carefully observed its reaction in the desert.
All three of them stared at the faintly glowing flower, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
But after a while, the Jingchen Flower still lay quietly in Ying's hand, without any change.
The wind in the desert continued to howl, and the mood of the three people gradually became heavy.
"Maybe we need to find a specific place, or the method of using the Dust-Clearing Flower is wrong." Yun Ge said thoughtfully.
Paimon looked around and saw nothing in the desert except sand dunes.
"It doesn't look like there's any special place here. Should we look around?"
Ying nodded in agreement, and the three decided to move forward in one direction, hoping to discover something.
They walked with difficulty in the desert. The scorching sun baked the earth and the sand under their feet was extremely hot.
Ying was fine, but Yun Ge's energy was consumed quickly. Only Paimon seemed unaffected and kept cheering for the two of them in the air.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, an ancient ruin appeared in front of us.
The walls of the ruins were covered with strange runes, which flickered faintly under the sunlight.
"Maybe there are clues here for us to get back!" Paimon said excitedly.
The three of them quickened their pace and gradually approached the ruins.
"Wow! How spectacular!"
The ruins are huge in scale, and despite the erosion of countless years, one can still feel its former glory.
The huge stone pillars and exquisite carvings all demonstrate the exquisite craftsmanship.
Yun Ge and Ying looked at each other and saw surprise and curiosity in each other's eyes.
Paimon excitedly turned around in the air a few times, urging people to go in and explore quickly.
And just as they walked into the ruins, the Jingchen Flower suddenly emitted an even stronger light, as if it resonated with some power in the ruins.
The light penetrated every corner of the ruins, and those ancient runes seemed to be awakened and began to shine brightly.
"Looks like we've found the right place," Paimon said, a hint of excitement in her voice.
Yun Ge held the Purifying Flower tightly, feeling the power contained in the flower resonating with the runes in the ruins.
For some reason, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, as if a kind and loving calling came from the depths of the ruins.
Ying looked at the strange scene in front of her, her heart still alert. She asked Yun Ge and Paimeng to follow her and walked carefully into the ruins.
As we go deeper, the surrounding light becomes stronger and the runes flash more frequently.
Suddenly, the Jingchen Flower broke free from Yun Ge and flew towards the depths of the ruins.
"Oh no, hurry up and catch up!" Seeing this, Ying immediately quickened her pace and chased after him.
The three of them chased the Jingchen Flower all the way and came to a huge hall.
In the center of the hall, there is a round stone platform, and the Jingchen Flower fell steadily on it.
At this moment, the entire hall was shrouded in light, and pictures began to appear on the surrounding walls.
In the picture, the figure of Hagentus, the demon god of dust, is looming, and she seems to be telling something.
Yun Ge looked at the images intently, trying to understand their meaning.
"Is this the memory of the Demon God of Dust?" Paimon said in surprise.
Ying watched her surroundings vigilantly to prevent any danger.
At this moment, the Jingchen flower on the stone platform began to become illusory. At the same time, a vague and slender figure gradually appeared relying on the Jingchen flower, emitting a soft and warm light.
The figure gradually became clear. It was a petite and beautiful girl with long gray-green hair tied into a low ponytail behind her neck with a blue hairpin. Two long strands of hair hung down from her temples, and gradient tassels hung from the interlocking hexagonal headdress.
She wore a blue and white short dress with a black lining underneath, and the outer garment was fastened with a chain knot at the junction of the chest and abdomen.
The hands are hidden in the large sleeves with starry sky patterns on the inside, decorated with rock flowers, and connected at the back.
The legs are bare, with only hexagonal foot rings around the ankles.
"So beautiful..." Yun Ge couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Although the girl in front of me is just a shadow, the tranquility and peace she exudes makes people involuntarily admire her.
The girl opened her eyes. They were a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky, and seemed to contain endless wisdom.
"Hmm... How long have I slept..."
The girl's voice was soft and ethereal, ethereal and gentle, as if coming from the distant sky.
She looked around, as if recalling something, and when her gaze fell on Yun Ge, Ying and Paimeng, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"You...are people from the future?"
Hagentus then looked at the Jingchen Flower again and seemed to understand something.
"You used the flower transformed from my original power to awaken me?"
"Are you... the Demon God of Dust?" After a moment of silence, Ying asked tentatively.
The girl nodded slightly, "Yes, I am Hagentus, the Demon God of Dust."
Yun Ge hurriedly saluted, "Lord Dust God, we have no intention of offending you. We just came here accidentally in order to find the Pure Dust Flower to treat the villagers."
"Dust-Purifying Flower? Save people?" Hagentus thought about it.
"So that's how it is. The flower transformed from my original power is called the Pure Dust Flower by you people in later generations. The reason you appeared here is because you wanted to save people and pick the Pure Dust Flower, but you accidentally triggered the Sealing Yuan Locking Heaven Array that I set up before my death, and brought you to my sleeping place." There was a hint of emotion in the voice of the Demon God of Dust, Hagentus.
Yun Ge hurriedly explained: "Lord Chenshen, we really have no intention of offending you. It's just that many patients in the village are in urgent need of the Pure Dust Flower for treatment, so we came here."
Hagentus gently waved his hand to show his understanding: "I don't mean to blame you. In fact, I am very happy to see people from the future again. As for the dust-purifying flower you asked for, since it is transformed from my original power, it does have a powerful purification power and can help you treat the patient."
"Really? That's great!" Paimon clapped his hands happily with a bright smile on his face.
"Then, Lord God of Dust, could you return the Purifying Flower to us so that we can go back and save the villagers?" Paimon looked at Hagentus expectantly.
Hearing this, Hagentus smiled slightly, "Well, it's not impossible, but this flower is currently the carrier of my remaining consciousness and power. If I give it directly to you, my remaining thoughts will dissipate. Although I am just a remnant soul, I don't want to disappear just because I can witness the beauty of the world again."
"Ah? What should we do then?" Paimon said anxiously.
Ying frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Lord Chenshen, is there any other way to keep your remnant and allow us to take the Pure Dust Flower to treat the villagers?"
"Haha, you are a kind-hearted girl," Hagentus chuckled, her eyes sweeping over the three people gently.
"Actually, it's not that I can't give you this Pure Dust Flower."
"But don't you need the Pure Dust Flower as a carrier of your consciousness and power? If you give it to us, you will die completely!" Paimon said anxiously.
"Listen to me." Hagentus smiled softly, "Death is indeed terrible. Even a demon like me is deeply afraid of it. But since this is my destined fate, it is useless to struggle. Even if my remaining soul can continue to survive, it will only wander alone in this endless darkness. It is better to help you and let the dust-purifying flower play its due role to save those innocent lives."
"Lord Chenshen..." Yun Ge was so moved that his eyes turned red.
Hagentus continued, "However, to me, everything in the world follows the principle of equal exchange. Therefore, before I give you the Pure Dust Flower, I hope you will agree to one condition of mine."
"Lord Chenshen, Miss Ying and Miss Paimeng are only here to help me find the Jingchen Flower. No matter what conditions you have, I will take care of them alone." Yun Ge said firmly.
Hagentus smiled and shook his head. "Haha, this is not something a mere mortal like you can afford. Besides, since the three of you came here together, you must accept it together."
"But..." Yun Ge wanted to say something.
Ying patted Yun Ge's shoulder, interrupted her, took a step forward, and said, "Help me to the end, Lord Chenshen, please tell me what the conditions are. I will do my best as long as it is not something that I cannot accept."
