"I surrender!" Qin Zijin's immortal energy was exhausted and he had no strength to fight anymore. In desperation, he could only admit defeat. After a moment, she asked again: "What you just used was Sword Domain?"
Cheng Ling said: "Yes, this is just the first glimpse of the door. There is still a long way to go."
Qin Zijin was silent. Just a glimpse of the door was able to completely suppress him. This sword realm is too terrifying!
Su Nianli couldn't help but ask: "How did you gain enlightenment? And how can your fighting style be so changeable?"
"I just discovered it by chance. As for the fighting style, it is simpler. Learn and master different sword techniques, take their essence, and then combine them with your own characteristics. After fusion, no matter light, heavy, tricky, strange, etc., etc., All kinds of sword techniques are at your fingertips."
The two women shook their heads and smiled bitterly. He said it easily, but if you have to master different sword techniques and understand the essence of them, how many people can do it?
However, they were not discouraged. On the contrary, they ignited a raging fighting spirit. From today on, they would ask him for sword skills every day. They did not believe it and could not understand the sword domain!
The relationship between the force field and the sword domain is actually a process from weak to strong. Ordinary monks, with extremely high inheritance and hard training, can basically master the force field. After that, the use of the force field became increasingly sophisticated, eventually transforming into the sword field.
Unlike Cheng Ling, his superb understanding and several opportunities allowed him to directly skip the force field and comprehend the sword realm. Therefore, fighting with two women will be of great help to him. After all, he is self-taught. Understanding more about the subtle changes in power will also be of great help in improving his sword domain.
In this way, the three of them had one more task to do every day. In addition to searching for buildings and practicing, they also had to fight Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling did not hide his secrets, and told them his understanding of the sword domain in detail. During daily sparring, he also pointed out some shortcomings of the opponent.
Soon, a month passed, and the three of them gradually became better, and their cultivation and swordsmanship improved greatly. Especially Su Nianli, who seemed to be stimulated by Qin Zijin, and practiced very hard. After a month, they finally Under Cheng Ling's heavy pressure, he fully understood the force field and used it in battle.
And their search for the ancient city continued to increase, and eventually, the search was almost completed. Unfortunately, nothing was found, and even Cheng Ling lost his patience.
On this day, it was time to go out to search for buildings again, and the three of them still acted separately. Unfortunately, after searching for most of the day, Cheng Ling found nothing after searching ten buildings. He returned to the tower dejectedly, deciding in his heart that this ancient city was just a relic from a long time ago, and there was nothing valuable left.
Not long after, Qin Zijin also turned back, glanced at Cheng Ling, and said helplessly: "More than three months have passed and nothing has been found. Are we just going to stay at the bottom of the sea like this?"
Cheng Ling was about to speak when suddenly, the jade slips hanging around their waists vibrated. Cheng Ling opened it and saw Su Nianli's voice coming from the jade slips: "Cheng Ling, I found a place It’s a magical place, come and see it.”
The two of them were stunned, ignited a glimmer of hope, and flew in the direction indicated by Su Nianli.
After about a quarter of an hour, the two came to a square building.
The style of the building is very peculiar, different from many buildings in the ancient city, and its outer wall is built with dark black boulders, which is more primitive and heavier than the buildings I have seen before.
In the center of the city wall, there is a huge closed gate. This city gate is really too big.
Ling and Su Nianli stood in front of it like ants.
At this time, Su Nianli was waiting patiently outside the gate. When he saw the two people approaching, he said, "This gate is very strange. No matter how I attack, I can't open it. Come and see what's going on?"
Cheng Ling took a step forward, with a flash of blue in his eyes. In front of him, he saw huge faces transforming on the city gate, looking down at him fiercely.
"This is... the Hundred Refined Demon Soul!" Cheng Ling's expression changed. Xie Feng had mentioned this situation before.
The so-called hundred-refined demon soul means that the souls of a hundred demon clans must be refined and fused into one demon spirit. This demon spirit not only has the magical powers of a hundred demon monks, but it can also merge and mutate into a more powerful magical power.
However, these monsters are no longer living monsters, but have become demon spirits. The more powerful the one hundred refined demon clans are, the more powerful the refined demon spirits will be. Demon spirits have no independent consciousness and will only act according to the orders of their masters. They will not stop until they are out of their wits!
Looking at the demon spirits on the gate, they are not low in grade, at least they have reached the realm of demon masters, which is equivalent to the immortal master stage of human monks.
But this didn't bother Cheng Ling. The gate guarded by the Hundred Refined Demon Souls must have a restriction to seal them inside. Once the restriction is broken, the condensed demon spirits will collapse and dissipate between heaven and earth.
With Destruction in your hand, any restriction in the world can be resolved.
Without saying a word, he directly made countless mysterious handprints on the towering door. Waves of ripples suddenly appeared on the door, and those huge demon spirits suddenly dispersed, disintegrating into individual souls and collapsing around.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
A long time passed like this, and when all the souls on the door disappeared, there was a "squeak~!" and it slowly opened inwards.
Cheng Ling glanced at the two women and walked in first.
Inside the gate is a square space with extremely poor lighting. Opposite the door, two dark portals can be vaguely seen. There seems to be a magical power in the portal on the left, and all the light spreads there. , and finally disappeared without a trace.
Su Nianli was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that there seemed to be a strong call in the door, and walked forward slowly without realizing it.
Cheng Ling hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing? The situation at hand is unknown, so don't rush in yet."
Su Nianli came to her senses and said, "But I think the things in there are very friendly and will definitely be of great help to me."
Cheng Ling was confused and turned to Qin Zijin and asked, "How do you feel?"
Qin Zijin shook his head and said calmly: "I don't feel anything."
Cheng Ling frowned. To be honest, he had no idea why Su Nianli was different from them.
After pondering for a while, he said: "In this case, we must look at these two doors. Since you can sense something, let's go to the door on the left first."
The two women nodded, but Cheng Ling still protected Su Nianli behind him and walked in through the door on the left first.
Su Nianli's eyes were filled with brilliance, and Cheng Ling's protection made her very useful.
Stepping into the portal, the three of them were surprised to find themselves on a water surface, but miraculously, the water did not flow out of the portal. It was unknown whether it was the function of the water-proof beads on the ancient city or another mystery.
Cheng Ling couldn't think of the reason for a moment and stopped thinking about it. This place seems to be deep in the sea, and the pressure brought by the sea water can be clearly felt.
And it is getting darker and colder.
The temperature of the water is extremely low, but it will not freeze. However, if a person with insufficient cultivation enters it, let alone whether he can withstand the terrifying and ubiquitous pressure. The mere hint of coldness is enough to kill someone. Even the soul will be frozen, let alone the body.
It was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to tell the direction. With Cheng Ling's eyesight, he could only see dozens of meters away. He hesitated, wondering whether he should move on.
At this moment, Su Nianli behind him said via voice: "I felt that call again, and it was stronger than before. Cheng Ling, why don't you let me lead the way?"
Cheng Ling thought for a while and finally agreed, but still warned: "Be careful!"
Su Nianli nodded slightly and sneaked in the direction from which the call came. After about a quarter of an hour of diving, Cheng Ling felt as if he had entered a trench. The trench was very narrow and deep.
Dive, continue to dive, keep diving, the water pressure is getting stronger and colder. The three people dived much slower than before and were more cautious.
Just when they felt they couldn't hold on any longer, Su Nianli suddenly stopped in front of them. Her eyes caught sight of something on the trench wall. That thing was embedded in a sunken trench wall.
None of the three of them knew how far away from the sea it was, but when they came to the edge of the thing, they found that the light around them was darker. Su Nianli couldn't help but said: "Cheng Ling, look at what that is, it's too It’s dark and I can’t see clearly.”
Cheng Ling sneaked for several feet, struggling to support the pressure from the sea water. When he felt the limit, his eyes flashed with blue light, and he took in a panoramic view of the scene in front of him.
It was a stele, a stele shaped like a sword. I saw that the stele was black, a deeper and darker black than the color of the trench. There was black light lingering on the black sword stele, and it was covered with lines. , densely criss-crossed.
Seeing this black sword stele, Cheng Ling was shocked. He felt that this sword stele looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but Cheng Ling was certain that he had never seen this sword stele before.
"Is that...the Monument of Darkness?" I thought hard for a long time, and suddenly remembered that the Great Light Monument in Wuji Sect seemed somewhat similar to the stone monument in front of me. Not only the shape of the stele, but also the lines, but the lines on the dark stele are much richer and more mysterious than the broken great light stele.
When Su Nianli heard this, he didn't care anymore and sneaked down for a few more meters. He didn't stop until he was within one meter of the stone monument. She clearly felt the pure dark aura emanating from the stone tablet, which lasted forever.
He stared at the dark sword tablet with his eyes tightly, staring at the lines on it, eliminating distracting thoughts and being highly concentrated. In a flash before her eyes, the Dark Monument seemed to disappear, and the lines expanded rapidly, finally enveloping her entire body.
Cheng Ling was startled and was about to take action, but Qin Zijin stopped him and said: "Don't worry, he is studying the Monument of Darkness. The Demon Flower Immortal Emperor's lineage has unique insights into the mysteries of darkness. The Dark Monument has been of great help to her.”
Cheng Ling suddenly realized that just like he had understood the Great Light Monument before, the Dark Monument could help him understand the secrets of darkness. Speaking of which, it was also of great help to him. But in this case, Qin Zijin was left with nothing to do.
He felt guilty and said, "Why don't we go to another portal and have a look!"
Qin Zijin nodded happily, and the two returned along the original route.
