Because of the presence of darkness, the Great Crossing Crack is extremely dark all year round, with very little light appearing.
At this moment, in a small crack in the central area of the big crack, a strong light suddenly burst out. Although it still failed to break through the dark atmosphere here, it brought a breath of new life to the place that had been dark all year round.
This ray of light was not emitted by some kind of treasure, but erupted from Shi Jiu sitting cross-legged in a small crack.
At this time, Shi Jiu's whole body was filled with surging life energy. As he continued to breathe in and out, these energies were transformed by Beiming's breathing method and gathered into a sky-high light that penetrated into the large crack above.
After a long time, the light above Shi Jiu's head gradually disappeared, and the surging life energy around him also disappeared into the body and was stored in the muscles, bones and organs of the body.
"Ah, my body has finally recovered." Shi Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and all the previous unhappiness was swept away.
Through inner vision, all the broken ribs have been connected and repaired as before, and the blood in the body is running faster and more energetic than before.
"Unexpectedly, my cultivation has improved even more after this recovery!" Shi Jiu was delighted to find that his cultivation, which was originally in the late stage of the Qi Po realm, has now reached the peak of the late stage. If he goes further, he will reach the Li Po realm. .
Shi Jiu stood up, stretched his shins a little, then raised his toes slightly. The next second, his whole person disappeared from the same place, and fifty meters away, his figure appeared out of thin air, and then he disappeared from the place again. , and then kept changing directions, leaving a faint afterimage where he briefly stayed. At this time, if someone looks from above, they will find that the layout of the formation is faintly visible where Shi Jiu passed.
The steps Shi Jiu is showing now are the Big Dipper Steps he obtained in the Five Gates Ruins. As his strength increases, his Big Dipper Steps become more and more proficient, and there are faint signs of success. The most intuitive sign is It was the shadow of the formation that began to appear wherever he passed, and he himself was aware of this.
"No wonder this Big Dipper Star Step has become one of the Five Sect's secret techniques. It really makes sense. The place I just passed by already has the smell of dot matrix method." After stopping, Shi Jiu looked carefully He recalled the feeling he just had and tried to write it down and imprint it into his mind.
Then, Shi Jiu used Po Shan Dian and Po Shan Plum Blossom Hand respectively, and gained new results.
"Sure enough, with the improvement of my strength, I have further understanding and gains from the various techniques I have practiced." Shi Jiu was very satisfied with this practice, which was obviously much better than what he practiced before he was injured.
"Since my cultivation level has improved a bit, I should be able to understand the dark laws here a little bit more?" Thinking of this, Shi Jiu immediately sat cross-legged under the dark star vine and began to feel the aura of dark laws everywhere around him.
An hour later, Shi Jiu slowly opened his eyes, with a satisfied look on his face.
"Sure enough, with the improvement of my cultivation, my understanding of the laws of darkness has also come closer."
Now Shi Jiu has comprehended 10% of the laws of darkness, which is already a very impressive achievement. You must know that many monks in the central realm and even the spiritual wisdom realm may not be able to comprehend 10% of the laws of darkness. This means that His talent and understanding are no worse than the top geniuses in Yongyan Mansion. Even if he gets the three most powerful Central Mansion in Youlong Continent, he is still extremely outstanding. But Shi Jiu didn't know all this.
"Now that I have fully recovered, I can't be trapped here anymore. I can get out at any time." After finishing all the training, Shi Jiu looked up at the large crack above. It was still dark there and filled with the domineering dark energy.
But after thinking for a moment, Shi Jiu decided to stay here for the time being, because he still had important things to do, which was to open up the three special meridians in his body to prepare for the practice of Black Light Fist.
This place is off the beaten path and is a good place for natural retreat to practice without worrying about being disturbed by others.
However, Shi Jiu did not start immediately, but planned to start tomorrow. After all, his body had just recovered and needed to adapt.
Outside the large cross-cutting crack, Jin Yuner, Mr. Ming Jing and Manager Wu stood a mile away.
"Uncle Ming, can you sense Shi Jiu's aura?" Jin Yuner asked worriedly, looking at the large crack not far away.
"The dark atmosphere here is too strong, which greatly weakens the spiritual consciousness. I can only go into the big crack to search." Mr. Ming Jing shook his head. He is a strong man at the peak of the Soul Realm, so he has naturally opened up his spiritual consciousness. , but in this large crack full of dark atmosphere, the detection range of divine consciousness is extremely limited, up to fifty meters away, and it may be even shorter if it goes deep into the large crack.
"The aura of dark will here is very overbearing. If you can't hold on, go back to the camp and wait for me." Mr. Mingjing ordered. At this time, the sweat on Manager Wu's forehead couldn't stop flowing down. Jin Yuner was doing better, although there was no sweat. She was sweating, but the expression on her face was extremely solemn. It was obvious that she was trying hard to resist the erosion of the dark will here.
"Okay, then Uncle Ming, you have to be careful. We will wait for you in the camp." Jin Yan'er also noticed the incompetence of Manager Wu on the side, and had no choice but to agree.
"Well, I'll go then." After saying that, Mr. Ming Jing walked forward step by step until he disappeared into the big crack.
"Steward Wu, let's go back to the camp." Jin Yuner said after taking one last look at the big crack ahead.
"Okay, miss." Manager Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to stay here, he would be unable to hold on and pass out here.
Mr. Ming Jing, who had already entered the big crack, extended his consciousness to the maximum range and began to carefully search for traces of Shi Jiu.
An hour later, except for harvesting five or six black shadow grasses, Mr. Mingjing found no trace of Shi Jiu.
"Strange, where is that kid? Why is there no trace of him? Even if he is seriously injured or dead, he should leave something behind." Mr. Ming Jing frowned and tried hard to observe and sense everything around him.
The dark will here is very strong, more than ten times stronger than the outside world, and even he feels great pressure.
"Although that kid's willpower is amazing, the dark will here is too overbearing. He can't stay here for a long time. Could something really happen?" After searching for an hour, he couldn't find anything, which made Mr. Mirror think something bad. Feel.
"Huh? That's..."
After walking dozens of steps forward, Mr. Ming Jing discovered the gravel scattered around. He immediately walked over, squatted next to a piece of gravel, and examined it carefully. On the surface of the gravel, there was a pool of black solid matter. attachments.
"This is... blood stains. There was a fight here."
After dipping his fingers into some black attachments and rubbing them back and forth, Mr. Mirror discovered that the black attachments were the product of blood drying and solidifying over a long period of time.
"Could it be that boy Shi Jiu?" Mr. Ming Jing was not sure, but he already believed it in his heart.
Except for Shi Jiu, almost no living beings come here. After all, this is the core area of the Great Rift. The dark atmosphere is extremely domineering and raging. Even high-level underworld beasts cannot resist the erosion of dark energy.
"What happened to that kid? Is he bleeding here?"
Even if it is determined that there were traces of fighting here, the specific circumstances are still unknown.
Finally, Mr. Mirror checked again and after confirming that he could no longer find any useful information, he had no choice but to return to the camp and tell Jin Yuner about the situation here.
"Uncle Ming, do you mean that Shi Jiu died in the large cross-cutting crack?" After hearing what Uncle Ming said, Jin Yuner couldn't believe it.
"Most likely, but I didn't find his body. It's possible that he's still alive." Seeing the shock on Jin Yuner's face, Mr. Mirror comforted him: "Yner, don't blame yourself too much. We have reminded him He can't stay there for a long time. Since he chose to meditate and practice in the Great Crack, he must also know what kind of consequences will happen. The current situation is his own choice and he can't blame others. "
"Uncle Ming, I know this. I'm just sad. I won't blame myself for this." Jin Yuner nodded.
She and Shi Jiu are friends. Now that the other person's life and death are unknown and there is a high probability that he is dead, it is normal to feel sad inside.
"Well, that's good." Jin Yuner's words satisfied Mr. Ming Jing. As her successor, Jin Yuner must learn to treat the life and death of people around her with a normal attitude. As the person in charge of Fengbaozhai, she must maintain a consistent attitude at all times. A normal heart.
"Nowadays, the situation in Lanming City is unstable. Dong Tianling from the Shuntian Escort Bureau does not want to participate in the fight between the Ghost Fire Sect and the Jueshi Palace. He wants to use the power of Fengbaozhai to remain neutral. Although I have not explicitly agreed, I do have the intention. I want to help, what do you think?" Mr. Mirror asked.
"Uncle Ming, I think it's okay. The Shuntian Escort Bureau is a relatively decent force, and Dong Tianling is a good person. They have always cooperated well with us before. If we help them now, it should help us in this situation." The development of the surrounding counties." Jin Yuner quickly recovered from her sadness and then expressed her thoughts.
"Okay, since you think it's okay, then I will contact the headquarters of Yongyan Mansion and let Mr. Yuan Chen decide this matter." Mr. Ming Jing nodded, "Okay, the matter here is over, let's go back. We have a lot of things to do next, Manager Wu, please go down and prepare to return to the city."
"Yes, Master Ming."
…
"Great Elder, Mr. Mingjing has promised to report our matter to Lord Yuanchen of Fengbaozhai. It is estimated that there will be a reply in two days." In a secret room of the Shuntian Escort Bureau, Dong Tianling and the old man with white hair and beard were having a secret conversation. .
"As long as we tie up Fengbaozhai, the Ghost Fire Sect and Jueshi Palace will no longer force us." Dong Tianling continued.
"The helmsman is right, the only thing we are worried about now is whether Lord Yuanchen of Fengbaozhai will agree to us." The great elder on the side said with some worry.
"Although I'm not sure, Mr. Ming Jing said that the probability of success is very high. Of course, the main reason is that I have entered the soul realm and can help Fengbaozhai in many things."
"Fengbaozhai is one of the few superpowers in Youlong Continent. If we can really get close to them, it will only do us good and no harm. No power in the entire Yongyan Mansion will dare to threaten us. I hope they will reply to us quickly. Now everyone in the escort agency People's emotions are unstable, even the elders are complaining."
"I've also noticed this. We have to rely on you, the Great Elder, to appease everyone's emotions. We can get a reply from Fengbaozhai in at most two days, and then we can breathe a sigh of relief." The Great Elder looked to the side. , said.
"Well, that's all. I hope Fengbaozhai's reply won't disappoint us." The great elder sighed silently, and then left the secret room, leaving Dong Tianling alone.
Seeing the departure of the great elder, Dong Tianling also felt depressed. Naturally, he knew the situation in the Escort Bureau. The people in the Escort Bureau had been forced by the alliance between the two parties these days, and everyone in the Escort Bureau was in urgent need of good news. To break the current dullness, Fengbaozhai's reply is the best voice to break the situation.
"Fengbaozhai, don't let us down!" Dong Tianling said slowly, and then left the secret room.
