Chapter 391 The Mysterious Immortal Lotus, Mo Fan's Fortuitous Encounter

"Yes, it is indeed spatial folding," Mo Fan nodded and said.

"If the ancient teachings haven't deceived us, then the key to unlocking this spiritual gallery lies in these stone paintings, and if I'm not mistaken, it should be this one."

Su Xiaoluo, however, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly walked to one of the stone paintings, staring intently at an ancient woman figure carved on the stone.

As she spoke, Su Xiaoluo reached out and touched the carvings on it. After touching the stone-carved woman, Su Xiaoluo seemed to be attracted by something, as if her whole soul had been drawn into the painting, and her eyes revealed a variety of different emotions.

Su Xiaoluo's expression kept changing, sometimes furious, sometimes heartbroken, and sometimes overjoyed. The speed of her emotional transformation was astonishing, but it was clear that Su Xiaoluo's emotions did not seem fake.

"Has she entered an illusion?" Mo Fan asked Fang Gu after noticing Su Xiaoluo's unusual behavior.

"Yes, this gallery is likely a product of the combination of mental and spatial elements. If we can't find the key to unlocking the illusions created by these stone paintings, we'll be completely trapped here," Fang Gu nodded and said.

While Su Xiaoluo was entering the illusion, Jiang Han was using spatial resonance to explore the gallery. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the exit of the gallery. It has to be said that the Ancient King had mastered the use of magic that combined mental and spatial elements to perfection, leaving no flaws. At the same time, there were also many illusionary stone paintings that could directly annihilate the soul.

"Truly worthy of being called the most brilliant and ambitious magic emperor in China's thousands of years of history," Jiang Han thought to himself with sincere admiration.

After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of the endless gallery, less than a hundred meters away from them.

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiaoluo's eyes regained their sparkle, but the experience in the illusion still left her feeling somewhat dazed. Zhang Xiaohou quickly stepped forward to support her and inquire about the situation, while Jiang Han took out a potion to restore her spirit from the system space.

"This is a special potion for restoring mental strength." Jiang Han handed the pale purple potion to Su Xiaoluo.

"Thank you." Su Xiaoluo said thank you and then drank the light purple potion. After drinking the special potion given by Jiang Han, Su Xiaoluo immediately felt her mental fatigue disappear.

After passing through the gallery, what appeared before Jiang Han and his companions was an incredibly spacious front palace. The entire main hall of the front palace was made of white jade, and the floor was so smooth that it could be seen in a mirror.

Several pillars stand in front of the hall, each requiring four or five people to encircle, and covered with dense and intricate incantations.

The former palace seemed to be empty, deserted, with the sound of Jiang Han and his companions' footsteps echoing through the deathly silent hall.

Suddenly, Mo Fan stopped in his tracks. Noticing something was wrong, Zhang Xiaohou turned around and asked in confusion, "Brother Fan, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just wondering why there are lotus flowers in this tomb, especially the kind that emits a strange fragrance. By the way, have you seen this in the well painting?" Mo Fan asked Su Xiaoluo and Fang Gu.

Just now, the little mudfish pendant around his neck suddenly trembled excitedly. You should know that apart from the time it ate the Earthly Holy Spring, the little mudfish had never trembled like this before. And that time it devoured the earth, which also enhanced the little mudfish a lot. That is why Mo Fan suddenly stopped.

Upon entering the palace, Jiang Han noticed the demonic lotus on the central stone platform and also caught a whiff of its faint fragrance.

The palace was completely sealed off, and apart from the strange incantations on the pillars, the demonic lotus on the stone platform was particularly eye-catching.

"It seems so..." Su Xiaoluo said somewhat uncertainly.

Fang Gu's eyes never left the demonic lotus on the stone platform. Seeing that Jiang Han and the others were looking at him, he finally spoke up, "I'm afraid we won't be able to find the way forward. This demonic lotus seems to be an immortal lotus. Ancient teachings say that the bridge to the altar will only appear when the immortal lotus dies."

"Eternal Lotus, does eating this thing grant immortality?" Mo Fan immediately became curious. Sure enough, anything that could pique the little mudfish's interest was a good thing.

"I'm not sure if it has the effect you described," Fang Gu said, shaking his head.

"Such things exist in this world? The bridge to the altar appears when the demon lotus dies. Are we supposed to wait? Can't we just break it into pieces?" Zhang Xiaohou asked疑惑地问道.

"You can give it a try," Fang Gu said.

Zhang Xiaohou then planned to walk towards the stone platform, but Jiang Han stopped him, saying, "It's better not to make direct contact. If that thing is poisonous, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohou nodded, and then immediately released a mid-level wind-type spell.

The azure star map lit up, and the violent whirlwind instantly tore the demonic lotus on the stone platform into powder. However, after the whirlwind dissipated, all the powder returned to the stone platform and condensed into the pinkish-blue demonic lotus. This scene left Zhang Xiaohou dumbfounded.

Although the Wind Tornado is not the strongest among elemental magics, it can still severely injure or kill slave-level demons. Can you believe it?

"Let me try." Black flames gathered on Jiang Han's right arm and then blasted towards the demonic lotus on the stone platform.

The enormous fiery fist slammed into the demonic lotus, the scorching heat instantly burning it to nothingness. Just as Mo Fan was heartbroken that the demonic lotus had been destroyed by Jiang Han's fierce fist, the pale blue demonic lotus on the stone platform reappeared.

Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, while Jiang Han frowned. He knew that his Fierce Fist was enhanced by the top-tier Soul Seed Dragon Flame, which would seriously injure even a Corpse General. Yet, it couldn't even deal with a single demonic lotus.

The eerie lotus still blooms on the stone platform. It has existed there for countless years, seemingly unmoved by the changing of the sun and moon or the transformation of the sea. It remains there, fragrant and eternal.

But if the Demon Lotus cannot be destroyed, millions of people in the entire ancient capital will be destroyed.

"How about I give it a try?" Just as Jiang Han and the others were frowning and deep in thought, Mo Fan suddenly spoke up.

Jiang Han had originally intended to refuse, but after noticing the little mudfish pendant swaying around Mo Fan's neck, he changed his mind. "This is the only way now. I hope you can succeed."

"Don't worry, I can definitely take care of this demonic lotus," Mo Fan said with unusual confidence.

After saying that, Mo Fan walked to the stone platform and firmly grasped the demon lotus in his hand. His confidence came from the little mudskipper. In order to conceal the special nature of the little mudskipper, Mo Fan took the demon lotus to a dead corner in the hall.

"What is he trying to do?" Fang Gu, Zhang Xiaohou, and Su Xiaoluo all looked puzzled.
