"Qing Xi, the Xiao family's Devil's Heart Pond has been too old to allow too many people to practice at the same time, so I won't accompany you in. You should be more careful." Xiao Ningyuan put away the magic formula with a stiff smile on his face. , said to Gu Qingxi.
It's not because he is unwilling to let outsiders go to the Devil's Heart Pool to experience it, and he is forced to smile or something. But because of Gu Qingxi's promise yesterday, the old man smiled from ear to ear all night long, even while sleeping.
So my mouth started cramping when I woke up in the morning, and it hasn't gotten better yet.
Isn't it just hugging a big thick leg, and the elders of the family, it makes you happy. Next to him, Xiao Yutang curled his lips involuntarily.
But he completely forgot that when he heard Gu Qingxi's words yesterday, he had the same ups and downs in his heart. He couldn't calm down for a long time, and he still has two big black circles under his eyes.
"Elder Xiao, we will be careful." Gu Qingxi nodded and stepped into the hall with Xiao Yutang.
Behind him, the heavy palace door slowly closed.
Of course, Xiao Ningyuan, the head of the family, and others would not stay outside all the time. They left after seeing that there was nothing else to do.
Outside the hall, there were only a few young disciples who were on duty to guard the Devil's Heart Hall, including Xiao Yujin's young confidant.
The so-called Devil's Heart Pond is actually not a pond, but a huge rock nearly ten feet in diameter. The entire Devil's Heart Palace is built around this huge stone.
After hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain erosion, the surface of the rocks is uneven and the abrupt edges and corners appear in various shapes, like monsters looking up to the sky and roaring, or like fairy birds spreading their wings and flying high.
This is called Kun Yuan Stone. In terms of texture and use, it is not even the lowest level spiritual crystal, but it can imprint the laws of heaven and earth from the changes in the world, and integrate the killing intention of the powerful demon cultivator into it.
Since ancient times, demon cultivating families and sects in the world of cultivation have used this characteristic of Kunyuan Stone to build the Demonic Heart Pool.
However, the texture of Kunyuan Stone itself is too fragile and cannot withstand strong killing intent. Therefore, in Tiancang Continent today, there are very few demon cultivating families and sects with demon heart pools.
Although Xiao Yutang is a direct descendant of the Xiao family and has the unremitting support of the great elder, this is his first time to experience the Demonic Heart Pond.
As far as he knew, even Xiao Yujin had just been promoted to Transformation God. In order to show encouragement, the master of the family specially opened the Demonic Heart Palace and let him come in to practice for a long time.
"Qingxi, shall we start practicing now?" Xiao Yutang said to Gu Qingxi impatiently.
At the moment when the palace door was closed, ethereal and fantastic lights filled the air from the strange rocks. What was contained in them was the killing intention left by the ancestors of the Xiao family.
These killing intentions are somewhat similar to the thousands of sword intentions that Gu Qingxi comprehended in the Nine Li Mingxu Realm, but because they come from demon cultivators, they are purer and can help future generations of demon cultivators greatly consolidate their demonic hearts. The effect is better than Other heavenly materials, earthly treasures or elixirs are ten times or a hundred times more powerful.
"Wait, don't rush yet." Gu Qingxi said cautiously, concentrating his consciousness and moving towards the main hall and the Kunyuan Stone at his feet to carefully inspect it.
Xiao Yutang was so anxious that his mouth was blistering, but after hearing what Gu Qingxi said, he still suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Seeing that her expression was serious and she still held the hilt of the sword, she was cautiously on guard.
The facts that have happened have proven to him countless times that he believes that Gu Qingxi will not be wrong. Especially if you are in a dangerous situation and want to survive, I believe that Gu Qingxi will not be wrong.
As a loyal fan, Xiao Yutang's belief will never waver.
But this time, Gu Qingxi seemed to have guessed something wrong. She searched again and again with her spiritual mind, but she never found anything strange.
"Qing Xi, what happened?" Xiao Yutang finally couldn't help but ask.
Sure enough, idiot fans are idiot fans. Even though they know nothing, their beliefs are still extremely firm.
"I have some doubts. Xiao Yuquan's strength, Xiao Yujin's spells and formations are all related to the Devil's Heart Pool. Elder Xiao was immersed in extraterritorial devilish energy some time ago, which may also be related to the Devil's Heart Pool." Of course Gu Qingxi would not be right. Xiao Yutang was hiding something and said frankly.
"What?" Xiao Yutang was startled, and his hand on the sword hilt tightened.
"Then did you find anything?" Before Gu Qingxi could say more, he asked nervously.
"No, I have checked repeatedly and found nothing strange." Gu Qingxi shook her head and said.
"Then, could it be that you guessed wrong? In addition to the Devil's Heart Pond, our Xiao family also has several other blessed places for cultivation, which are also forbidden places for ordinary Xiao family children." Xiao Yutang reminded.
In fact, it was not that he doubted Gu Qingxi's guess, but that the Devil's Heart Pond was too important to the Xiao family and he really didn't want to see anything go wrong in the Devil's Heart Pond. This kind of reminder is more of a self-comfort.
However, Gu Qingxi thought: That's right, a cultivation family like the Xiao family often has more than one blessed place for cultivation. The improvement in Xiao Yujin and Xiao Yuquan's strength, as well as Xiao Ningyuan's being immersed in extraterritorial demonic energy, are not necessarily related to the Demonic Heart Pond.
"Quack..." Just as he thought of this, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from his ears.
A bloody bird seemed to appear out of thin air behind Xiao Yutang, flying towards him like a sharp arrow.
The distance was too close, and the bloody bird appeared too suddenly without any warning in advance, so even Gu Qingxi was caught off guard. Although she drew her sword, she had no time to stop it.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xiao Yutang's usual stupidity came in handy. Although Gu Qingxi was reminded in her mouth, she still remained vigilant in her heart and kept holding the sword tightly in her hand.
Hearing the weird bird song behind him, he turned around almost instinctively and swung his sword.
Gu Qingxi's "careful guidance" for a month and the sword skills given by Shen Mengli also came in handy. This sword was as fast as a flying fireball, and even Gu Qingxi couldn't help but feel amazed.
"Ding!" The blood bird was knocked back by Xiao Yutang's sword.
However, with his cultivation in the early stage of becoming a god, he was unable to kill him. When the long sword struck under the blood-red wings, a stream of sparks flew out, making a crisp sound like the sound of gold and iron.
After only retreating a few feet, the blood bird flapped its wings quickly and flew towards Xiao Yutang again.
Xiao Yutang's sword strike just now was beyond his level, and the spiritual energy in his body was almost consumed instantly. How could he stop it from attacking this time? Seeing this, I felt a chill all over my body, as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
However, Gu Qingxi had already taken action at this time. The long sword in his right hand slashed towards the blood bird, while his left hand quickly shot out more than a dozen spiritual talismans.
The runes exploded, and the figure of the blood bird that was speeding forward stagnated, as if it was trapped in an endless swamp. At the same time, the sword light fell.
"Chi!" There was no accident this time. The blood bird was split in half with a sword and fell to the ground.
Xiao Yutang breathed a long sigh of relief. It's a long story, but from the time the blood bird appeared to when Gu Qingxi took action, it only happened in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, he walked back and forth twice between the gates of hell and hell.
"What kind of monster is this?" Xiao Yutang asked with lingering fear as he looked at the blood bird split into two pieces at his feet.
Bloodbirds are small, similar to wild geese. But the feathers all over the body were so dazzlingly red, as if they had just been fished out of a pool of blood, giving people an eerie and eerie feeling.
The beak, which is almost half the length of the bird's body, is as sharp as a knife, and its teeth are densely covered with cold light. You can imagine with your toes what the result would be if you were stabbed in the vital part by this bird's beak just now.
"Blood Crow." Gu Qingxi replied.
Xiao Yutang gasped, and his expression changed again.
