Chapter 179: Exploring the Mystery of the Abandoned Palace and Finding the Final Destination
The cold, damp air, carrying the smell of decay, blew in their faces. Bi Yao and Li Yuan stepped into the ruins, and the stone door slammed shut behind them, as if isolating them from all the noise of the world.
The darkness swallowed up the light, only the ancient runes on the wall flickered with a faint green light, jumping like will-o'-the-wisp, reflecting the solemn faces of the two people.
There were slippery stone slabs under my feet, and every step made a slight echo, which was infinitely amplified in the silent ruins, as if knocking on my tense nerves.
Bi Yao could smell the dust in the air, with a pungent musty smell that made her hold her breath.
The two walked forward cautiously. Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand, and the warm touch on his palm gave her a little comfort.
On the surrounding walls, ancient runes were like twisted words, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura. Bi Yao looked at them carefully, but was unable to decipher their meaning and felt dizzy.
Suddenly, a dazzling red light shot out from the wall, heading straight for Bi Yao's face!
"Be careful!" Li Yuan growled and suddenly pulled Bi Yao behind him. The red light almost brushed past her nose, and the scorching temperature made her feel suffocated.
The laser swept back and forth, cutting the narrow passage into dangerous areas.
The air was filled with a burning smell, which was generated by the high temperature when the laser touched the wall.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan could only dodge and move in the cramped space. Waves of heat from the laser came one after another, and sweat instantly soaked their clothes.
"We can't go on like this!" Bi Yao gasped, feeling a burning pain in his lungs.
Li Yuan's expression was also very solemn. The speed and power of this laser were far beyond their imagination.
He protected Bi Yao tightly, and quickly scanned the surrounding environment, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.
Bi Yao's gaze fell on the runes on the wall, those symbols that flickered under the laser light...
“Li Yuan, look…” Bi Yao pointed at the runes on the wall, a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
Li Yuan looked in the direction of Bi Yao's finger, and the runes were flashing with strange light under the laser.
"Could it be... that these runes control the lasers?" he muttered to himself.
Bi Yao nodded. "The laser has a pattern. You see, before each launch, the corresponding rune will light up first."
Bi Yao's brain was working rapidly, and his knowledge of optics from modern physics came in handy at this moment.
"These runes are like switches that activate lasers. We can avoid them by predicting the order in which they light up!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up. "Great idea!"
The two held their breath, their eyes fixed on the runes on the wall.
A rune lit up, and Bi Yao immediately determined the direction of the laser and pulled Li Yuan to dodge to the other side.
"Whoosh--" The laser shot past their bodies, and the scorching temperature made them feel frightened.
As they mastered the rules of the runes, their movements became smoother and dodging became easier.
A feeling of excitement spread between the two of them, and they cooperated tacitly, as if they were dancing a thrilling dance.
Finally, as the last laser was shot out, a loud "boom" sound was heard on the wall, and a secret door slowly opened.
Behind the secret door, there was a soft light, and faintly visible were mountains of spiritual stones and precious medicinal herbs.
"We succeeded!" Bi Yao and Li Yuan smiled at each other, their joy beyond words.
The dust in the air seemed to become fresher because of their success.
However, just as they were about to step into the secret door, a deafening roar came from behind the door and the ground shook violently.
A huge mythical beast, covered in green scales and with eyes like burning flames, appeared before them.
It waved its claws angrily and pounced towards the two men.
The ground cracked under the tremendous force of the divine beast, and gravel flew everywhere.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan dodged quickly, but the beast's attack speed was astonishingly fast, and they could only flee in panic.
"Its eyes!" While dodging, Bi Yao keenly captured the weakness of the divine beast.
Li Yuan also noticed this, "Okay, let's attack its eyes!"
They stopped hiding and started fighting back.
Bi Yao used the terrain to flexibly avoid the beast's attacks, while looking for opportunities to get close to its eyes.
Li Yuan was responsible for attracting the attention of the divine beast and using spiritual power to attack its body to create opportunities for Bi Yao.
The fierce battle lasted for a long time, and both Bi Yao and Li Yuan were injured.
Finally, Bi Yao seized an opportunity, condensed the spiritual power in his hand into a sharp sword, and pierced the eyes of the beast!
The divine beast let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Yao'er..."
Li Yuan lovingly brushed away the scattered hair on Bi Yao's forehead, gently stroking her fair cheek with his fingertips, his eyes full of love and worry.
"Yao'er, are you hurt anywhere?" His voice was low and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing through Bi Yao's heart.
Bi Yao shook her head and smiled sweetly, her eyes full of tenderness.
"I'm fine, don't worry." She stood on tiptoe and kissed Li Yuan lightly on the lips.
The soft touch and sweet scent spread between the two of them, dispelling the cold and dampness in the ruins.
They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat, as if they were the only two left in the world.
After a moment of tenderness, they turned their attention to the treasure room behind the secret door.
Pushing open the heavy stone door, dazzling light instantly poured out, illuminating the entire room.
The mountains of spiritual stones emit colorful light, as dazzling as stars.
The rare medicinal herbs exude a refreshing fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan were stunned by the scene before them. They had never seen such abundant resources.
"That's great! With these resources, there will be no problem in establishing the school!" Bi Yao clenched his fists excitedly, with joy shining in his eyes.
Li Yuan was also very excited. He held Bi Yao's hand tightly. The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.
They began to collect resources carefully. Every spiritual stone and every medicinal herb were like seeds of hope, carrying their longing for the future.
"Yao'er, we finally..." Before Li Yuan could finish his words, Bi Yao's expression suddenly became stern, and her eyes were fixed on the corner of the treasure room.
There, an inconspicuous rune was flashing with a strange light.
"Li Yuan, look there!" Bi Yao pointed at the rune, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
Li Yuan followed her gaze, and his expression instantly became serious...
With a lot of harvest, Bi Yao and Li Yuan returned to the world of immortal heroes.
Abundant spirit stones and precious medicinal herbs piled up like mountains, emitting colorful light and refreshing fragrance, illuminating everyone's face.
With sufficient resource support, the construction of the academy progressed by leaps and bounds. Towering buildings rose from the ground, the wide training ground was as smooth as a whetstone, and rich spiritual energy lingered above the academy, making it look like a fairyland.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood on the newly built main building, overlooking the bustling scene below.
The young cultivators, dressed in uniform, practiced diligently under the guidance of their instructor. The fluctuations of their spiritual power rose and fell, converging into a vigorous and upward force.
Their faces were filled with youthful vitality and longing for the future, and their clear laughter echoed over the school, as sweet as wind chimes.
Looking at this lively scene, Bi Yao felt a warm feeling in his heart.
She took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual energy in the air, as if the whole world was filled with hope.
"Yao'er, look, how happy they are." Li Yuan's voice came from beside him, with a hint of relief and pride.
He looked at Bi Yao tenderly, her figure reflected in his eyes, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.
Bi Yao turned to look at Li Yuan, with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Yes, all this is the result of our joint efforts." Her voice was soft and firm, with a barely perceptible tremor.
"Yao'er..." Li Yuan gently held Bi Yao's hand, and felt a warm touch in his palm, as if an electric current was flowing through his body.
"Have you really decided to stay?" There was a hint of anticipation and uneasiness in his tone, as if he was afraid to hear an answer he didn't want.
Bi Yao's eyes were firm and gentle. She nodded slightly, her tone full of confidence.
"Yes, I have decided to stay. Here you are, our friends, and the school we built together. This is my home."
When Li Yuan heard Bi Yao's answer, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He hugged Bi Yao tightly, too excited to speak. Only the violent heartbeat in his chest told of his joy and excitement at the moment.
Bi Yao's decision quickly spread throughout the entire academy and even the entire world of immortal heroes.
The cheers came like waves, resounding through the sky.
The immortal cultivators rushed to tell each other and celebrated this important moment.
They regard Bi Yao and Li Yuan as the guardians of the fairy world, and they are heroes and legends in their hearts.
This decision means that Bi Yao and Li Yuan will always be with the world of immortal heroes and become eternal legends of the world of immortal heroes.
However, the future of the Xianxia world is still full of countless unknowns. How will they continue to lead the Xianxia world to new glory?
"Yao'er..." Li Yuan's voice was particularly clear in the noisy crowd. He looked at Bi Yao, a complex light flashing in his eyes. "Look..." He pointed to an inconspicuous pavilion deep in the academy. There, a strange energy fluctuation was quietly spreading...
