'The power of pain' is generated by the secret realm?
That being the case....
After hearing what the disciple said, Cheng Huo looked around and saw that the 'power of pain' was the strongest in a nearby corner, so he leaned towards it.
He guessed: "As expected, this location should be the entrance to Xuantian Sect's secret realm."
After saying that, he used the spiritual power in his body and waved his hand.
Along with the successful action, a gap appeared in front of everyone for no reason.
"this...."
Seeing the entrance to the secret realm appear, the Xuantian Sect disciple showed a look of shock.
Tieniu was also puzzled: "Zhengshuo, how did you find this?"
Cheng Huo smiled and didn't answer. He just glanced at the Xuantian Sect disciples on the side and gestured: "You go in and try..."
In Xuantian Sect, everyone knows that Patriarch Huyan behaves treacherously.
The Xuantian Sect disciple was afraid of being plotted by the trap left by his ancestor, so he showed a troubled expression and hesitated.
"Hurry up." Seeing this, Chengshuo urged him in a nonchalant manner.
Forced by his lustful power, the Xuantian Sect disciples had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the secret realm...
After a few seconds, Chengshuo asked inside: "How is it? Is there any danger inside?"
No one responded.
Chengshuo frowned and waited patiently at the entrance of the secret realm for nearly a quarter of an hour: "How are you doing? Can you hear me?"
Still no one responded.
Live thoughtfully.
There was a hint of threat in his tone, and he said to her again: "Don't say anything and pretend to be dead... I will go in later, and if I find you alive inside, you will see if I can do anything to you. "
"Sir, calm down! Calm down!"
This time, as soon as Cheng Huo finished speaking, he heard a response from the secret realm: "Sir, I was just distracted and didn't hear your voice."
Finally, he said: "This secret realm is very safe. You can come in with confidence!"
Chengshuo and Tieniu looked at each other.
Tieniu took the initiative and said, "This time, let me go in first!"
"Um."
Chengsheng didn't argue with him, he just nodded and moved away, watching Tieniu enter the secret realm.
Not long after, I saw Tieniu's voice coming from the secret realm: "You come in too, there is really no danger here."
After Tieniu confirmed it, Chengsheng felt relieved and followed him into the secret realm.
Inside the secret realm.
As soon as you enter Chengsheng, what comes into view is an exquisite and simple wooden house.
There are stone tables and chairs outside the wooden house.
Beside the stone table, a girl wearing white clothes and an otherworldly temperament was suspended in the air.
This girl is extremely beautiful, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura all over her body. Her clothes are fluttering in the wind.
At a glance, she looks like a mysterious goddess descending from the nine heavens.
It's just that look...
After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Cheng Sheng was stunned: "Are you the junior sister who followed Hang Baixia that day?"
Mid-air.
The girl looked forward, her eyes dull, as if she had not heard the sound of life.
Something weird....
Chengshuo looked at the Xuantian Sect disciple on the side: "What is this woman's name and what is her status in the sect?"
The disciple thought for a while and replied: "It seems that her name is Qin Zhenzhen. She is an inner disciple... She has a pretty good relationship with Hang Baixia, the true disciple of the inner sect."
Out of caution, Chengsheng did not intend to keep this woman alive.
He stretched out his right hand, intending to clench it into a fist and crush the opponent to death...
But just when Cheng Sheng was about to use the "Retrieval of Objects from the Air" spell, he suddenly recalled the Huyan Ancestor whose behavior was extremely abnormal.
When facing him and Tieniu, Patriarch Huyan would rather die than escape from Xuantian Sect.
This shows that there is probably something more important than the life of Patriarch Huyan hidden within the Xuantian Sect.
Just like....
The 'mother' in Huyan Patriarch's mouth.
Or perhaps, Hang Baixia's junior sister is floating in the secret realm at this moment.
Of course there is another possibility.
I don’t know why, but a strange thought suddenly came to Chenghuo’s mind: Could it be that the ‘mother’ mentioned by Patriarch Huyan was the girl in front of him, Qin Zhenzhen?
So what is the true meaning of the word 'Mom' spoken by Patriarch Huyan?
Thinking of this, Chenghuo said to the Xuantian Sect disciple on the side: "Take a sword and stab her."
"ah?"
This Xuantian Sect disciple instinctively felt that doing so would be dangerous, so he showed a cowardly look on his face: "Really going?"
"Hurry up!" Chengshuo urged from the side again.
Forced by his lustful power, this disciple had no choice but to stab Qin Zhenzhen in the calf with his sword...
"Ouch!"
The moment the sword tip touched Qin Zhenzhen's calf, the disciple's whole body felt like an electric shock. He only screamed and then twitched and collapsed to the ground.
Chengshuo rushed forward and kept a certain distance: "What's wrong with you?"
"pain!"
The disciple's face was distorted, as if he had suffered unspeakable pain.
A few seconds later, he was frothing at the mouth, rolled his eyes, and passed out on the spot.
Tieniu stepped forward and pressed the tip of his sword against the disciple's heart.
After a while, he shook his head and said: "He is dead. Looking at him like this, it seems that he was hurt to death."
this....
Seeing the disciple's death state and then raising his head to see Qin Zhenzhen suspended in the air, there was no otherworldly feeling at all.
What he saw was an indescribable and unexplained horror.
Suddenly, Qin Zhenzhen's whole body expanded rapidly.
Her eye sockets were sunken and her eyeballs protruded, her body became extremely bloated, and her skin became moist and plump.
At first glance, they looked like the villagers who had turned into 'Dao Fruit' before.
The mutated Qin Zhenzhen stared at Chengshuo and said with a painful look on his face: "Save me!"
? ?
Is she asking for help?
The sudden scene scared Chengshuo and involuntarily stepped back a little.
Sweat beaded on his forehead and he had a frightened expression on his face.
But when he looked up at Qin Zhenzhen again, he found that the other person had once again transformed into that person exuding a divine aura.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Cheng Huo stunned on the spot, uncharacteristically, Tieniu asked doubtfully: "What happened to you just now?"
"I have no idea."
After Chengshuo replied, he decided not to care about Qin Zhenzhen hanging in mid-air.
This woman is so evil.
The method Chengshuo used when pressing in created a gap in the secret realm: "This place is very weird. It's best for us not to stay here."
Tieniu glanced at the dead Xuantian Sect disciple and slapped him on the head: "Okay, this place is really weird, let's go!"
…
After leaving the secret realm of Xuantian Sect, Chengshuo and Tieniu searched around the sect for useful items.
Food, clothes, weapons, elixirs, etc. are all collected.
When they searched the main hall of Xuantian Sect, they also found an entrance to the underground in the corner.
The words 'retreat' and 'secret room' are written on the entrance.
Chengshuo and Tieniu walked step by step and entered carefully.
From the words "retreat, secret room" written on the entrance, it is not difficult to see that this should be a place for Xuantian Sect disciples to practice in retreat.
Entering the secret room along the downward stairs, the first thing Chenghuo saw was a large amount of black gas that was so rich that it seemed to be substantial, floating in the secret room.
That is, the 'power of pain'.
As for where these 'powers of pain' come from...
Continuing to walk inside, you can still see countless mortals tied to stone pillars in the secret room, with scars all over their bodies.
Around these mortals, there are also various instruments of torture such as whips and pokers used to torture people.
Apparently.
The 'power of pain' in the secret room is all generated by these mortals.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Shengruo realized something: "I understand!"
"The 'power of pain' is the power that practitioners can only generate after feeling pain."
"So if you want to absorb the 'power of pain' and become stronger, you have to continue to feel the pain and torture yourself."
"But practitioners often want to become stronger but don't want to be tortured."
"So, they use 'accepting disciples' as an excuse to teach mortals how to practice the exercises..."
"When mortals have mastered the techniques to the point where they have become practitioners, we will capture them all and torture them to continuously extract the 'power of pain'."
