Chapter 2214 Jade Box
Chapter 2214 Jade Box
At this moment, although his spiritual consciousness was disturbed in the passage, Matthew had already determined that there was no fatal danger in the passage, so when he arrived at the entrance of the passage, he stepped in resolutely.
The passage was filled with a damp atmosphere, as if one was standing beside a secluded pool hidden in the mountains.
As soon as Matthew entered, he keenly sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy. Although the fluctuation was not strong, it was as pure as the purest spiritual spring in the deep mountains and valleys, without any impurities.
"Don't worry, Brother Ma. Since I asked you to come here, I won't do anything to harm you."
Meng Su's voice came from the Qinglong bracelet, as if he noticed Matthew's slow pace.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but I am cautious by nature. I will be like this whenever I go to a strange place."
Matthew raised the corner of his mouth slightly and responded with a voice transmission.
Caution is an important magic weapon for him to survive on this dangerous road of cultivating immortals.
Despite this, his steps were still steady and slow.
The walls of the passage are like a canvas of time, covered with mottled moss, like an emerald green carpet spread out wantonly.
Occasionally, a few small insects would crawl past, adding a different kind of vitality to this quiet passage.
Matthew looked around carefully with sharp eyes, trying to find some clues from these seemingly insignificant details.
As he went deeper, the fluctuations of the spiritual energy became stronger and stronger, as if there was a powerful magnetic field in the distance, constantly attracting his mind and filling his heart with irrepressible anticipation.
This anticipation is like the excitement before a long drought, or like the excitement of finally seeing a ray of light after groping in the dark for a long time.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in front of the passage. The light was particularly eye-catching in the dark passage, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Matthew was delighted and involuntarily quickened his pace and ran towards the light.
As he continued to move forward, the passage gradually became wider, as if a narrow stream gradually converged into a vast lake.
Finally, he came to a huge cave.
There is a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere in the cave, as if time has slowed down here.
In the center of the cave, an ancient stone platform stands quietly.
On the stone platform, a jade box exuded a strong spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was so rich that it seemed to materialize, forming halos visible to the naked eye.
There is a faint mist lingering around the jade box, and the mist is like a lively fairy, dancing around the jade box, making the jade box look even more mysterious.
Matthew's eyes were instantly attracted by the jade box. The jade box seemed to have an invisible magic that attracted his eyes and made him unable to look away.
However, he was not overwhelmed by the impulse, but stood firmly in place, like a pine tree rooted in the land, observing the surrounding environment calmly and carefully.
He knew very well that in this world of cultivating immortals, the more tempting an opportunity seemed, the greater the danger often hidden behind it.
At the top of the cave, stalactites hang down like sharp swords, shining with a strange luster under the faint spiritual light.
On the ground, some strangely shaped stones are scattered in an orderly manner.
There were faint flickering runes around the cave. These runes exuded a mysterious aura and seemed to be maintaining some kind of powerful restriction.
Matthew calmed down and carefully released his spiritual sense, trying to sense whether there was any potential danger around him.
However, the force that had interfered with his spiritual awareness in the passage still existed, making his exploration extremely difficult.
Matthew's brows were slightly frowned, gathered together like two small mountains, and his eyes revealed solemnity and thought.
The jade box in front of him was shrouded in a strange restriction, which was like an invisible yet tough barrier, emitting a mysterious and dangerous aura that made him dare not act rashly.
"Senior Meng, how do we remove the restriction here?"
Matthew asked after taking a deep breath.
This breath seemed to absorb the tense atmosphere around him into his stomach, so that he could face the current predicament more calmly.
"The Life and Death Order can unlock the restrictions here. You can take it out and point the living face towards the jade box."
Meng Su seemed to have anticipated that Matthew would ask this question. As soon as Matthew finished speaking, he quickly gave an answer with a certainty in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Matthew took out the life and death order without any hesitation.
The Life and Death Order felt cold and delicate to the touch. Following Meng Su's instructions, he slowly aimed his face towards the jade box.
However, Matthew did not immediately transfer his magic power into the Life and Death Order.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed closely on the restrictive patterns around the jade box.
These patterns are intricate and complex, like ancient totems, winding and circling on the jade box.
He tried to slowly extend his own magical power, like a cautious tentacle, to touch and sense those restrictions.
But as soon as the magic power touched it, it was like hitting a solid wall and was ruthlessly bounced back, making him truly feel the indestructibility of these restrictions.
Matthew's heart sank. At this moment, his only hope seemed to rest entirely on the life and death order in his hand.
"Friend Ma, what are you still hesitating about?"
Meng Su's voice sounded at the right time, breaking Matthew's thoughts, and it sounded particularly clear in this silent cave.
Matthew nodded slightly, took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, as if to give himself courage.
He secretly decided in his heart that he would trust Meng Su this time.
He slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breath, gradually calmed his mind, and then carefully injected his magic power into the Life and Death Order.
In an instant, the token began to glow slightly, and a soft white light was emitted from one end. The light was as warm and bright as the spring sun.
The white light and the restrictions on the jade box intertwined with each other, producing a wonderful resonance.
As Matthew continued to inject magic power, the restriction began to loosen slowly like a ripple that was touched.
A layer of light mist also appeared on the surface of the jade box. The mist was as ethereal as a veil, adding a bit of hazy beauty to the already mysterious jade box.
Seeing this, Matthew felt a surge of joy in his heart. It seemed that what Meng Su said was true, and the life and death order was indeed effective.
However, just when he thought everything was going well, something unexpected happened.
He suddenly felt a powerful resistance surging from the jade box. The force seemed to come from the abyss. Something inside was desperately resisting the release of the restriction.
The resistance was so strong that Matthew's arms began to tremble slightly.
With a light hum, Matthew immediately increased the amount of magic power he was transferring.
Suddenly, the life and death order in his hand began to make a buzzing sound.
