C3666 Everybody Was Happy
Jiang Ting did not say anything when he heard this. He merely continued to size it up.
"Human, you want to go back on your word? You really aren't afraid of death!" The silver rabbit seemed to have noticed something and its voice became cold.
Jiang Ting's eyes flashed and he said, "No, I am not prepared to go back on my word. I just want to say that according to my estimation, you are only half a step away. You still need to split your body a little."
The silver rabbit's eyes froze.
After a moment, a fierce look appeared in its eyes. "Insatiable? Do you really think I don't know that if I continue to agree... You will continue to raise your conditions, and there will be no end to it! Now, break the seal immediately. Otherwise, even if I continue to be trapped... I will still kill you and take back half of my body!"
His voice was full of determination, coldness, and cruelty.
It was clear that even though the silver rabbit was naive, it didn't mean that it was stupid.
On the contrary, the silver rabbit had absorbed the memories of countless people. He was clear about all the twists and turns...
Thinking of this, Jiang Ting shook his head slightly. "What a pity."
He originally thought that he could get more solidified lightning as materials, but now it seemed that it was impossible.
"Human, are you able to pay the price for teasing me?" The silver rabbit's voice was sinister.
"Rumble..." The rumbling of thunder resounded within the hall.
Even if he didn't intentionally shift his gaze, it wasn't difficult to notice that, accompanied by the silver rabbit's fury, the sea of thunder rose once more.
Perhaps it was because the silver rabbit's cultivation base was far beyond Jiang Ting's, so on the surface, Jiang Ting couldn't see the difference between the sea of thunder and the sea of thunder from before. He couldn't tell how weak the silver rabbit was with just a wave of his hand.
But...
"The price..." As he whispered, Jiang Ting suddenly stretched out his right hand and made a grabbing motion. "You should continue staying here!"
His hand was only grabbing towards the empty air. Logically speaking, there should be nothing. However, with that grabbing motion, the invisible barrier suddenly solidified.
"Human..." The silver rabbit sensed that something was wrong. Its voice became furious, and the sea of lightning instantly erupted.
However, it was too late.
Even though the silver rabbit was furious, it still wanted to force Jiang Ting to break the seal. However, it didn't expect Jiang Ting to make a move. One step was slow, and every step was slow.
Even though the ocean of lightning was raging, the barrier's withdrawal didn't slow down.
As the barrier was withdrawn, the cracks on the surface of the shield that hadn't recovered a moment ago were restored in a flash. The shield once again became perfect and flawless.
Because the seal was completed and the strength of the silver rabbit was affected, the sea of lightning in the hall became slightly sluggish.
Of course, this was not the end. Otherwise... even if the seal was intact, the silver rabbit could still use the array formation to reveal its power in the hall.
At this moment, the sea of lightning had been affected purely because the seal had been perfected, causing the silver rabbit's control over the lightning to become slightly uncomfortable.
Jiang Ting didn't place his hopes on retrieving the barrier.
After he withdrew the barrier, he did not disperse the barrier. Instead, he grabbed the barrier from afar and slightly turned his wrist. At the same time, another barrier type talisman burned in his hand.
"Damn it... stop! Hurry up and stop!" The silver rabbit's expression changed greatly.
Only then did Jiang Ting speak slowly, "Since I can temporarily cut off the connection between this place and the earth vein, naturally... I can also cut off the connection between you and the formation... The mortal world is not suitable for you, so you should continue staying here. It's good that the outside world has become someone else's forging material. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the barrier rose once again.
It spread out exactly the same as before. What was different was that previously, it cut off the connection between this place and the earth vein, but now, it cut off the connection between the silver rabbit and the formation.
Instantly, the sea of lightning that was still churning flickered slightly and dispersed like boundless water.
The silver rabbit roared furiously within the barrier. "Human!"
Fury was overflowing with words.
Jiang Ting was just about to speak when his eyebrows suddenly twitched... He saw the silver rabbit in the cover of the wooden table flash slightly and sink into the ground of the hall. He did not know where it had gone.
The hall was still empty.
It seemed that the silver rabbit and the wooden table had never appeared.
That's right, according to his estimation, the wooden table and the silver rabbit should not have been in the hall to begin with... The only reason they were in the hall was because of their arrival. Previously, the silver rabbit had tried to mislead them so that they could break the seal.
Now that he had severed the connection between the silver rabbit and the formation, it was impossible for the silver rabbit to control the formation. Therefore, it would naturally send the formation back to its previous location.
"Crunch..." The tightly locked stone door suddenly slowly opened.
"It went so smoothly. Looks like I overestimated Silver Rabbit's control of the array formation and underestimated the binding seal of the lightning that the creator placed on it." With a low voice, Jiang Ting shook his head slightly and walked towards the opened door.
It was time to leave.
He was not only able to cut off the connection between the silver rabbit and the formation, he also had other ways to deal with it... However, since cutting off the connection had resolved the crisis, there was no need to mention other methods.
If the hall didn't open, he might need to think of a way to get out... But since the door had opened, there was naturally no need to stay here any longer.
He had already obtained a piece of solidified lightning, and his objective in entering the underground had been achieved! He had even caused the backlash of the ley lines to cause mountains and rivers to capsize.
This should be considered to be a happy ending for everyone.
He helped to fulfill the Dao of lightning, so that the lightning wouldn't be killed in the outside world and turned into artifact forging materials. He himself also obtained half of the lightning to observe and study its wonders.
After leaving the main hall, Jiang Ting lightly tapped his feet, and used the Body-Lifting Technique that he had not used for many years. With a leap, he jumped to the corner of the passage, and then he kept jumping, leaving at an extremely fast speed.
About an hour later.
"Rumble..." The silent main hall started to be filled with lightning once again.
"Ah... Human..." A faint roar filled with rage could be heard. Half of his body had disappeared, and although the lightning could still leak some of its power through the formation, it was still able to do so. However, it was clearly not as powerful as before, and there were also many more restrictions.
Unfortunately, there was no one here to see.
Sun Bai, who had left earlier, and the others who had come, were all dead.... Perhaps, after some time passed, more people would come. Or perhaps, no one would ever come.
Perhaps one day, some people would disregard the mountains and rivers and bring the lightning out of this place. Or perhaps, the lightning would never be able to leave this place until the Spiritual Wisdom dissipated.
...
Outside the tunnel, underground.
Following an afterimage, Jiang Ting jumped out of the tunnel and appeared in front of the black stone door... Even if it was just a step away, once he left the stone door, he would never be able to see the situation inside the stone door again.
Jiang Ting sized up the stone door, then ignored it. He circulated his magic power and left the tunnel. The suppression disappeared, and his cultivation base recovered.
With his cultivation base, even if the lightning broke free and attacked him, he could still deal with it, not to mention... half of his body!
Invisible ripples spread out, and piles of soil were squeezed. Jiang Ting walked slowly underground.
