The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2296: Deep in the Clouds

As Matthew's hands danced slowly, as if drawing some mysterious runes in the void, the purple light escaping from his body initially ran around like headless flies, without any order.

However, as time went on, these purple lights seemed to be pulled by some invisible force and began to slowly gather in front of Matthew, gradually condensing into a vague outline.

Although Matthew had his eyes closed, his perception was extremely sharp, and everything in the outside world was clearly reflected in his mind.

In this world shrouded by violent dark clouds, Matthew was like a stone sculpture that had experienced the baptism of wind and rain, sitting firmly on the huge golden lotus. No matter how the outside world changed, I remained unmoved.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment. After an unknown amount of time, when the last ray of purple light shot out from Matthew's body, a purple box about ten feet long appeared in front of him.

The box exudes a faint purple light, as if it contains endless mysteries.

There is a groove about three feet long inside the box, which seems to be tailor-made for some special thing.

Matthew slowly opened his eyes, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.

He exhaled gently, as if expelling all the impurities in his body.

Then, he flicked his fingers, and a wisp of golden gas flew towards him as if summoned.

Matthew didn't even look at the gas, and used his magic power to guide it into the long purple box.

As soon as the golden gas entered the box, it disappeared instantly like a drop of water in the ocean.

Matthew seemed to be accustomed to this, and there was no trace of emotion on his face.

He moved his fingers and more golden gas floated in from all directions. Without exception, these gases swallowed a lot of lightning and contained powerful energy.

Matthew had a blank expression on his face throughout the whole process, like a puppet, repeating the same actions meticulously.

Every movement he made seemed so natural and smooth, as if he had merged into one with the world.

As more and more golden gas was introduced into the long purple box, the purple light on the surface of the box became increasingly intense, as if it would break out of the box at any time.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The long purple box that had been lying quietly aside suddenly vibrated violently without any warning, making a "buzzing" sound, as if an ancient ferocious beast was imprisoned in the box, struggling frantically, trying to break free.

Matthew noticed this sudden change and frowned slightly, forming a faint "川" character.

However, the movements of his hands to guide the magic power and maintain the rosy glow barrier did not stop at all, and were still as smooth as flowing water.

Matthew took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his state. He quickly formed seals with his hands in front of his chest, and his ten fingers flexibly changed into various complex gestures. He muttered something in a low and mysterious voice, as if he was communicating with the heaven and earth, and performing some ancient and powerful secret method to suppress the abnormal movement in the box.

As he moved, the air around him seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, forming small air vortices visible to the naked eye, which rapidly rotated around him and the long purple box.

As Matthew was using all his strength to perform the secret technique, beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and each drop of sweat sparkled with colorful light under the reflection of the surrounding glow.

His eyes were firm and focused as he stared at the long purple box that was constantly vibrating, as if he wanted to penetrate the box with his eyes and see the mystery within.

As Matthew performed his secret technique, the vibration of the long purple box gradually weakened, and the "buzzing" sound became quieter and quieter.

The box, which was shaking violently, slowly calmed down and stopped steadily in place, as if the crazy struggle just now was just an illusion.

However, Matthew did not relax his vigilance. His eyes were still fixed on the box, and his eyes were full of deep vigilance.

Taking a deep breath to calm his slightly rapid breathing, Matthew continued to guide the golden gas into the box.

The golden gas was like a lively elf. Under Matthew's control, it slowly approached the long purple box, and then penetrated into it little by little through the gaps in the box.

Every time a trace of golden gas was integrated, a layer of faint golden light appeared on the surface of the box, and the light flickered.

In the following time, the box would move strangely at regular intervals, as if controlled by some mysterious force.

Sometimes it was a slight tremor, sometimes it was a violent shake, and every movement was accompanied by a powerful force wave that tried to break through Matthew's suppression.

Fortunately, Matthew was well prepared and was able to react quickly every time. He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something again, and used powerful secret techniques to quickly suppress the abnormal movements in the box.

During this period of time, the huge golden lotus under Matthew was not static.

Every time the golden gas absorbed a certain amount of lightning, the huge golden lotus would slowly carry Matthew towards deeper places as if it was summoned by something.

The petals of the golden lotus swayed gently, emitting a soft golden light with each swing, forming a sharp contrast with the violent force of thunder and lightning around it.

As Matthew went deeper and deeper, the lightning and thunder became more and more violent.

The lightning that was originally as thick as an arm had now become as thick as a bucket, and with the momentum of destroying the world, it madly struck Matthew and the golden lotus.

Every time a bolt of lightning struck, it left black cracks in the surrounding space, as if space could not withstand such a powerful force.

As a last resort, Matthew increased his magic power to resist the violent lightning.

He danced his hands quickly, and the magic power in his body was like a surging tide, pouring out continuously and injecting into the rosy light barrier around him.

With the blessing of magic power, the rosy glow barrier became stronger and the light became brighter.

Facing the oncoming lightning bolts, the rosy cloud barrier was like an indestructible fortress, blocking all the power of lightning.

This situation continued for a while, and Matthew was now in a place completely covered by lightning.

The power of thunder and lightning here is several times stronger than any encountered before. The air is filled with a pungent smell of burning, and one can feel the power of thunder and lightning running through the body with every breath.

The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by lightning, presenting a strange scene. Countless lightning bolts intertwined together to form a huge lightning vortex, trapping Matthew and the golden lotus inside.

But Matthew was not afraid at all. Instead, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

His eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he saw the hope of a breakthrough. "Finally here."

Matthew stretched and laughed, with a hint of joy in his voice that was hard to conceal.
