"This...is this martial spirit?!"
After a while, the old man spoke in disbelief.
Before Li Xiuping could speak, he shook his head and said, "No, Wuhun shouldn't be like this."
Li Xiuping finally said: "This junior knows very little about martial arts, so I wanted to ask my senior."
The old man nodded, and then kept muttering: "Martial Spirit...Martial Spirit..."
As he spoke, he took down the lantern on the wall, and then hurriedly walked towards the place where the martial arts books were placed. He rummaged around and finally found a book after half a day. He opened it and read it quickly.
Li Xiuping just watched quietly without disturbing him.
"found it!"
After a while, the old man suddenly exclaimed, then carefully read the contents of the book again, and said: "It's strange, Yuan Dan and Wuhun are clearly independent, but why can you be integrated together?"
Li Xiuping stared at the classics in his hand and said bitterly: "Senior, you don't even know, then I don't know even more."
The old man continued: "Tell me specifically about your physical condition when you went through the tribulation."
Li Xiuping nodded and recounted the situation as thoroughly as possible without omitting anything.
After hearing this, the old man fell into thinking and said after a while: "It seems to have a lot to do with the fairy beast you got."
Li Xiuping nodded again and asked, "Is this a condition for condensing martial souls?"
The old man was startled, looked up at Li Xiuping, and then fell into deep thought.
Indeed, he himself didn't know how to condense the martial soul. So could Li Xiuping's current situation be the conditions needed to condense the martial soul? Of course he wasn't sure.
After a while, the old man seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "Maybe, you can give it a try."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
The old man continued: "For thousands of years, I have been looking for ways to condense martial souls, but I have never thought of using animal souls as a substitute. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try."
Li Xiuping nodded. Say no more.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and then Li Xiuping said goodbye and left.
The old man didn't know anything about the secret realm, and he probably didn't even know about the demon clan. After all, the realm of strength was there, otherwise he wouldn't be guarding the library here.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel a little sad. When they first met, he couldn't feel any of the other person's aura because he practiced martial arts. Li Xiuping thought that the old man was a peerless strong man, but he never thought that he was only at the golden elixir stage. Cultivation.
Of course, with his peak Yuan Dan stage strength, he shouldn't have any problems even against ordinary Yuan Ying stage monks.
When Li Xiuping returned to his residence, he lay down directly, waiting to go to the so-called secret realm early tomorrow morning. As for the current condition of my body, since I can't get an explanation for the time being, I can only let it go and wait for the old man in the library to verify it.
Anyway, everything seems to be a good thing now and there is nothing wrong with it. However, this time to overcome the tribulation, a big price has been paid. First of all, the jade hairpin has been completely shattered. This is equivalent to missing a life-saving magic weapon. Then there is the jet black dragon. What is the situation now? Not sure yet.
The next day.
Li Xiuping pushed the door open and saw He Feng already waiting in front of the door. Not far away was the blue water unicorn, who looked a little bored at the moment.
Just at this time, layman Qingming also came out and asked with a smile: "Are you all ready?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he walked outside first. The green water unicorn stood up reluctantly and followed the three of them.
After the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xiuping first went to the place he made an appointment with yesterday. When the three of them arrived, the old man was already waiting, and there was a young man beside him who seemed a little impatient.
Seeing Li Xiuping and the others approaching, the old man immediately greeted them with a smile. He glanced at the extra Qingming layman beside Li Xiuping and the blue water unicorn. He didn't pay much attention to it and said with a smile: " It seems that Mr. Li has made a decision."
Li Xiuping smiled and nodded: "It would be a pity to miss the Immortal Secret Realm."
He looked at the young man behind the old man and asked doubtfully: "Who is this?"
The old man smiled and said: "This is the disciple I accepted before. He has made little progress over the years, so I plan to take him to try his luck and make Mr. Li laugh."
Li Xiuping waved his hand and said: "Senior, you are serious. Since there is no problem, let's set off."
The old man nodded and rose directly into the air, and his disciple followed suit.
Li Xiuping did not ride the blue water unicorn, but directly chose to fly in the air. The reason was that he was finally able to fly in the sky, so he had to feel and enjoy it.
As Li Xiuping Yukong, Qingming layman, He Feng, and the blue water unicorn also followed Yukong, they all appeared above the sea of clouds in an instant, and then headed north under the leadership of the old man. 33
Judging from the current situation, there should not be many people who know that secret realm, so they can be one step ahead.
Although it is said that treasures from heaven and earth can be obtained by those who are destined, but sometimes it is really first come, first served. After all, even if it is your own destiny, if you don't fight for it, it will not fall from the sky just by chance sitting at home.
A journey of five to six hundred miles would only take about half a day if we were to fly like this, so if something really went wrong, it would be too late whether we were returning to Emperor Wu City or coming to the rescue from Emperor Emperor City.
After flying in the air for a long time, everyone came to a valley. The old man in front stopped and pointed to the valley below: "This is it."
After Li Xiuping stopped, he released his consciousness and felt the situation in the valley below.
After not feeling any breath, Li Xiuping asked: "Senior, how are you doing?"
Master Qingming shook his head and said: "I can't feel any breath, but there seems to be a huge space below. It should be a secret realm."
Li Xiuping nodded and said to He Feng: "Follow me soon."
He Feng nodded, his expression suddenly became a little nervous.
Li Xiuping nodded to the old man in front of him, and the old man took the lead to fall towards the valley below, followed by Li Xiuping and others.
The valley was very large, and everyone landed in an open space. In front of them was a huge deep pool, with a waterfall hanging down, constantly hitting the pool surface, making loud roars, and filling the air with mist.
The old man pointed to the waterfall and said: "It's right behind. I happened to chase a spiritual beast and got here. It's embarrassing to say that I was not strong enough to enter it."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Let's go."
After speaking, he raised his hand, and a sword energy suddenly shot out, splitting the waterfall into two.
Behind the waterfall, there was a cave that led to nowhere.
Layman Qingming said: "Follow me."
After saying that, his body rose into the air and headed towards the cave.
Li Xiuping glanced at He Feng, and then also rose into the sky, following behind Master Qingming.
The cave is not small. Even if five people and one beast stand side by side, it is still extremely wide.
The layman Qingming said: "Be careful, someone has been here."
Everyone was stunned.
After Master Qingming finished speaking, he directly held out the flying sword. The sword glow overflowed and floated in front of everyone, completely illuminating the cave in front of him.
Everyone just walked along the mountain road, and soon reached the end of the cave. The sky suddenly appeared, and their vision suddenly became clearer. Everyone was standing on a cliff, with water flowing down, forming a slender waterfall. , there are birds and beasts circling.
Standing on the cliff and looking forward, I saw that there was also a valley in front of me, but I could feel that it was not a real scene, but that it was covered by some force.
The old man said at this time: "This is it. There is a protective formation in front. I have tried several times before but failed to open it."
Master Qingming nodded, and his body left the cliff, suspended in mid-air. In front of him, the long sword began to rotate faster and faster, and the sword energy on it continued to surge.
I saw him using his sword skills, and the long sword immediately rushed forward.
"Boom!"
As the long sword moved forward, it soon seemed to be hindered by some invisible force. With a loud noise, runes continued to emerge, and the scene in the valley began to shake, as if It looks like a reflection in the water.
The sword thrown by Master Qingming was probably just a test, so he said at this moment: "This formation can block monks below the god transformation stage. I will open a gap in a while, and you can take the opportunity to enter."
Everyone nodded at the same time.
Seeing everyone nodding, Master Qingming changed his seals with his hands, and then the sword energy on the long sword continued to grow, and it actually passed through the energy barrier.
As the long sword passed through the energy barrier, it was directly divided into two, and then continued to pull apart to both sides. The energy barrier was also directly torn into a gap. From here, the two swords looked like two big hands. , is now forcibly pushing aside the barrier.
"Walk!"
Li Xiuping spoke, and then his body turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the gap.
As Li Xiuping entered the gap, the others followed one after another. After everyone entered, Master Qingming followed. Then the two swords merged into one, and the broken energy barrier also closed again.
At this moment, everyone was standing in the sky, but everyone's face was extremely shocked.
What you can see is not the valley like before, but a big city with various buildings lined up in rows and towering majestic, which is no worse than Emperor Wu's city.
The young man following the old man exclaimed: "Is this the remains of the immortal?"
However, layman Qingming looked a little heavy and said: "Someone got there first."
After saying that, he fell directly downwards.
Li Xiuping was about to speak, but he could only fall down. After standing on the ground, he said: "Senior, do you feel that the rules here are a little different from those outside?"
Master Qingming nodded and said: "Generally, when you enter a secret realm, your realm will be affected to some extent, so don't worry too much."
Li Xiuping nodded, but he was a little confused, because when he entered the Penglai Immortal Boat and the ruins of the ancient battlefield, nothing like this happened.
Li Xiuping then asked: "How many people are there specifically? Can seniors feel it?"
Master Qingming shook his head and said: "Affected by the secret realm, the spiritual perception has been suppressed, but there must be a lot of people."
Li Xiuping nodded again and said no more.
This situation has actually been expected for a long time. Since a monk at the Nascent Soul stage can discover such a secret realm, then others will naturally discover that being rushed ahead is just a normal thing. If it is just a treasure hunter, that's it. I'm afraid He was afraid of encountering those powerful people who wanted to take action against him, such as the Star Observation Tower.
This secret realm is not small. Previously, Yukong could not see the whole picture, but now he feels even more insignificant when he is in it.
Everyone chose a path to move forward. After walking for a while, Master Qingming couldn't help but frowned and asked Li Xiuping, "Do you have a familiar feeling?"
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It feels familiar, but I can't put my finger on it."
The layman Qingming also nodded. He felt the same as Li Xiuping. He always felt that there was a familiar feeling in this secret realm, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Li Xiuping's steps suddenly stopped, and his face became a little gloomy.
That familiar feeling is exactly the same as the aura that Master Huo Ling exuded after he used the secret technique of the demon clan. The difference is that at first, Master Huo Ling only released that aura by himself, but now the entire secret realm is filled with it. That kind of breath, although weak, is definitely there.
Li Xiuping's sudden change was naturally noticed by everyone, especially He Feng who was following Li Xiuping. At this moment, he directly asked: "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said nothing, and then used his magical power to transmit sounds to the layman Qingming and said: "Senior, this aura seems to be the same as the aura of Master Huo Ling after he was demonized, so I'm afraid this is not some immortal secret realm, but …”
At this time, layman Qingming also stopped, his eyes scanned around, and he also used the divine channel of sound transmission: "What you said is indeed the same. Let's go ahead and have a look. If it doesn't work, exit immediately."
Li Xiuping did not refuse this proposal.
Everyone continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, they arrived under the tower of the entire city. Almost everyone looked up at the same time, looking at the huge plaque hanging on the tower, and saw two large characters engraved in ancient Chinese on it: "Magic City!"
It was exactly as Li Xiuping guessed, this was not some immortal secret realm, but the ruins of the demon clan.
Everyone's faces became a little heavy at this moment, because just looking at those two big characters could make people feel uncomfortable, but the young man and He Feng didn't seem to feel this way.
It seems that this feeling will also be affected by the realm. The higher the realm, the greater the impact.
Master Qingming asked this time: "Do you want to go in?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "We're here, but we have to go in and take a look. And we have to deal with the demons. Maybe we can get some useful information here."
Just as Master Qingming was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and then he made a sword formula with his right hand and pressed it down at the same time.
A long sword appeared out of thin air and was inserted into the ground in front of everyone, and then a sword energy barrier appeared directly, blocking everyone.
As the sword energy barrier appeared, masses of black energy poured out directly from the city, constantly hitting the sword energy barrier, but were almost instantly destroyed by the sword energy barrier.
He Feng and the young man at the Golden Core stage were pale with fear because they had never encountered such a situation.
"Are these demons?" The old man who brought Li Xiuping and others narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
The layman Qingming was still controlling the long sword, constantly using his sword energy to resist the impact of the black energy, but did not answer.
Li Xiuping did not answer, but said: "It seems that the information about the demons that came out of Emperor Wu City did not come from Emperor Emperor City, but most likely came from here. In other words, this secret realm has probably been there for a long time. exists.”
The layman Qingming nodded at this time and said: "This is very likely, but it is so close to Emperor Wu City. Why has Emperor Emperor City not received the news until now?"
Li Xiuping was stunned and shook his head. This also made him confused.
Ahead, after the black energy impacted for a while, I don't know whether there was no more black energy, or because I knew that such an impact had no effect. At this moment, all the black energy disappeared and returned to its original appearance.
Qing Ming layman removed the sword energy barrier, but did not put away the fairy sword, but just held it in his hand.
He did not enter the city directly, but turned to look at Li Xiuping and said: "It may be too late to leave now. Once you enter, it is difficult to guarantee what dangers you will encounter."
Li Xiuping looked at the city gate in front of him, lost in thought.
Since it is a relic left by the demon clan, even if there is a treasure, it is probably a demonic treasure. It is probably of little use to the immortal cultivators. In other words, this time it is destined to return empty-handed.
Anyone faced with this situation will inevitably hesitate and naturally become curious.
The entire human world, including the demon clan, attaches great importance to the demon clan and even flocks to it. Now they have encountered the ruins of a demon clan. Regardless of whether there are treasures in it, there must be some information about the demon clan.
If you want to fight against the demons, you must understand the demons. In other words, if it is the city lord of Emperor Wu City, if it is those saints and sages, they will definitely choose to enter it at this moment to find out, even if they know that it is full of dangers.
Seeing that Li Xiuping did not speak, Master Qingming continued: "Now the situation has exceeded expectations, so you can return to Emperor Wu City first and inform you of the situation here. The major holy places and Emperor Emperor City will make a decision. I can go in first. have a look."
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "The situation in Emperor Wu City is not optimistic now. I am afraid that it cannot be taken into account. And I feel that Emperor Emperor City is not really unaware of the situation here."
The layman Qingming was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "You mean they knew the situation here, that's why they asked you to come?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "If this were not the case, how could they come up with so many valuable magic weapons? Obviously they couldn't take care of it, so they pushed me out."
Master Qingming said: "Even so, you still have a choice."
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Since this is the plan, let's go in and take a look. I can't trust others, but Senior Brother Qi and Senior Sword Master shouldn't harm me."
Seeing Li Xiuping's decision, Master Qingming said nothing more. After nodding, he took the lead in entering the city.
The others followed behind, looking confused and worried...
Some people died, but not completely...
