Chapter 103
Uncle Foundation Architect introduced the situation of the secret realm.
"Affected by the spiritual beasts when the secret realm appeared, the original entrance to the secret realm has been closed. Now this entrance is a new entrance created by the real person in the sect using a teleportation formation, which will directly teleport you underground."
Looking carefully at the edge of the mountain peak, you can vaguely see the cracked earth under the aura of the formation. The cracks in the ground are constantly releasing spiritual smoke outwards. This is a situation where the secret realm node is on the verge of collapse.
"This small secret realm of Ten Thousand Caves is also underground? I heard that Luoxia Sect and Yuhua Sect also discovered a spiritual stone mine recently. There is also a small secret realm under the mine, which is also underground."
"I've heard about it too. It seems that they sent many disciples down there for testing. But their secret realm must be safer than ours. Look at the ground. I heard it was cracked by force during the last raid on the underground spirit beast nest."
Uncle Foundation Architect also heard the sporadic sounds on the ground, but did not comment.
They pinched a spell, and dozens of spiritual lights shot at all the disciples, falling into the hands of the disciples and transforming into a palm-sized jade slip.
"This is a blank secret slip. This is your evidence for this assessment. When you enter the secret realm, the secret slip will automatically record all the roads you have taken. Until you pass through the secret realm of ten thousand caves, a complete map will be formed. , the map should also record the identification of various special places, such as spiritual beast dens and elixir growing points."
"Don't think that this secret realm trial is simple. This secret realm is still a new secret realm. Anything can happen in it. The secret realm only allows cultivators under the foundation to enter. If something happens to you, you have to try your best to save yourself. At the same time, I will give you The Blank Secret Note is actually a defensive talisman. When activated, it can withstand a full blow from the foundation. You can take this opportunity to escape, but you will also lose your qualifications as a contestant."
Uncle Foundation Architect glanced at everyone on the ground and said, "This may be the first life-and-death trial for many of you. It all depends on your strength. You can take care of yourself. I will wait here for seven days in total. Everyone is back."
"Follow your uncle's decree, and we will live up to your uncle's expectations."
All the disciples shouted in unison, and under the command of Uncle Establishment Master, they all flew towards the central teleportation formation that looked like a heavenly gate.
"Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning." Yun Jinfan shouted to Zhao Ning when she was riding the wind. Zhao Ning turned sideways and saw Yun Jinfan flying towards her. She looked a little nervous, "This is the first time I passed through this teleportation array. There are... some Fear."
Zhao Ning couldn't understand Yun Jinfan's expression. After practicing so far, formations, runes and other mysterious things should be as common as common sense. Why is Yun Jinfan still having such a shock to his three views and not adapting to the new world.
"It's just a matter of closing your eyes for a moment." Zhao Ning's expression remained the same as he calmly comforted her.
Until he flew in front of the formation, the aura of the formation reflected on his clothes, and the wind gave the aura its shape and swept over the hem of his clothes.
Zhao Ning lifted her clothes and saw that Yun Jinfan was grabbing her clothes. Zhao Ning simply reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into the light of the formation.
"Ah——" A small scream rang in his ears.
"Junior sister Yun, come in." Zhao Ning reminded.
Yun Jinfan's scream was stuck in her throat, and she covered her eyes with her palms. She stamped her feet, feeling grounded, and peeked between her fingers.
"This...so fast?"
In front of him is a rather open cave, ten feet square, but no more than four feet high. There are more than a dozen deep passages around the cave. There is a similar formation in the center. As the light flows, disciples are constantly teleporting in. They are just moving around. He took one look and left in a hurry.
"It turns out that the feeling is no different from when I saw it hanging in the sky. I thought it was going to fall...Eh...Zhao Ning, don't walk so fast, wait for me."
Yun Jinfan followed Zhao Ning closely. For some reason, she started talking more at this time, as if she wanted to cover up her panic with constant chatter.
Zhao Ning chose a passage at random. The passage was winding and the walls were not flat. Fluorescent moss was climbing on the wall. The subtle fluorescence became the only light source in the passage.
"This light is a bit scary. It's green, and it feels like ghosts will emerge from it." Yun Jinfan shrank behind Zhao Ning and followed, "Zhao Ning, aren't you scared?"
"Junior sister Yun." Zhao Ning had to remind her, "We are cultivators, ordinary ghosts cannot hurt us."
"But cultivators are human beings, too." Yun Jinfan muttered.
Zhao Ning suddenly paused. They came to a fork, and it was a four-way fork.
"Junior sister Yun, let's take a look at each other first, and then gather together to choose the next way. It's faster to explore this way."
Yun Jinfan looked at the deep holes on three sides and swallowed, "I...I..."
"You go to the left. There is no wind and no sound on the left. It seems to be a dead end. It won't be too long. Just write down the road."
Zhao Ning spoke gently, saying that Yun Jinfan couldn't shirk anymore, "Then don't go too far, or I won't be able to catch up with you later."
"Yeah." Zhao Ning responded and watched her go inside.
With the mysterious person protecting her, nothing will happen to Yun Jinfan, and if Yun Jinfan enters the secret realm, the mysterious person may not want Yun Jinfan to hide behind her like this.
Zhao Ning lowered his eyes and did not move. Instead, he glanced in the direction he came from, and then walked to the passage on the right.
The passage here was a little twisted, and after turning several turns, Zhao Ninghu's Yufeng flew into the gap in the rock wall above his head.
Less than half a cup of tea later, three figures floated over, all wearing inner disciple uniforms.
They went straight into the depths without stopping.
Zhao Ning slowly fell to the ground, and when she extended her right hand, the black brocade whip was wrapped around her wrist.
"Where are the people? I obviously saw them coming in here."
"Not good! Got noticed!"
"She can't escape. The entrance to the cave has been sealed by our formation. She must be hiding in some corner."
Zhao Ning stood still and allowed the group of people to turn back.
When they first bumped into Zhao Ning, the group of people were slightly startled, then sneered on their faces.
"Why, junior sister alone wants to ambush all of us?"
"That's not true." Zhao Ning said calmly, "It's just that a few senior brothers came all the way and were very annoyed, so they wanted to say hello to you all."
She looked at the three people in front of her, the three inner disciples, all of whom were at the seventh level of Qi training.
"Why, Senior Brother Jia is so unconvinced at Si Guo Ya that he asked three senior brothers to stop me."
The leader stared at Zhao Ning and said, "Shen Zhao Ning, don't think that because you have suddenly been promoted to the seventh level of qi training, you are qualified to speak with us. Today, we will not kill you, but you will have to suffer. You will not suffer. Don’t even think about falling behind.”
As soon as the words fell, the swords of several people suddenly rose.
Zhao Ning walked under the attack of three long swords, with long whips dancing around his body, making several clanging sounds to block the sword blades that wanted to attack him.
The moves of these three people are extremely weird, as if they are all integrated and taken from the same system.
If one long sword's attack is avoided, another long sword will take over. If it is resisted with a long whip, another long sword will attack from behind.
Zhao Ning could not stop at all times, constantly wandering among the three spiritual swords.
"Little Junior Sister, you resist as much as possible. Let's see how much spiritual power you have and how much spiritual power you can survive in our three-in-one sword formation."
The condensing long whip rotates, and the black aura spreads on the long whip, covering it into a shield, protecting the whole body.
She looked at this time, and saw three people holding the same sword technique and staring at her coldly. The light on their fingertips gathered, hiding their faces behind the shadows.
"Lingxiao Peak!"
The leader curled his lips and said, "So what, little junior sister, there are some people who cannot be offended."
As they spoke, the three of them turned their gestures at the same time, and the spirit sword was instantly wrapped in three rays of cold light, tearing open the protection, and slipped in from the whip spiral.
Zhao Ning scraped the ground with her toes and flew backwards quickly until she crashed into the stone wall.
She paused in holding the whip, then turned her hand, the ink-colored aura of the long brocade whip suddenly bloomed, and she heard a roar coming out of thin air, an ink dragon's head emerged from the ink, and bit the spiritual sword. , and then twisted backwards, and the three spiritual swords were thrown away.
The three of them were shocked at the same time, their fingertips trembling with light.
"Second level low-grade spiritual weapon."
"The Black Dragon Beast Spirit."
Even with such amazement and recognition, the expressions of these people did not change much, and they were even a little sarcastic.
"Junior Sister Shen, is this what you rely on to block us here? Junior Sister is too naive."
"Junior sister, although the second-level low-grade spiritual weapon is precious, it depends on who it is for."
Suddenly, they shouted at the same time, "Three swords merge into one, the fire phoenix eats the body!"
The three spiritual swords buzzed at the same time. It was obviously the sound of swords, but at the moment when the tips of the three swords touched each other, they emitted a phoenix chirp.
A golden phoenix covered with fire flew out from the center of the three swords and headed towards Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning stared closely at the fire phoenix. The fire phoenix approached quickly and swallowed up all the ink charm around Mo Jiao's body in an instant. A heat wave that was so hot that it seemed to ignite the spiritual power rushed towards Zhao Ning. In an instant, the fire suddenly burst out. When it burned, the moss on the rock wall was swallowed up by the flames, and the fire phoenix danced wantonly on the rock wall.
"Humph." One person smiled, "I thought there was some way to do it, but it's really useless."
"Senior Brother Jia, this fire phoenix true flame is really powerful. It blends into our sword formation and is comparable to the thunder and fire burning body formation. Let's see who else in the inner sect dares to ignore us."
"It's a pity that this true flame can only burn the body, but cannot burn the soul. Otherwise, no one can defeat it under the sword array."
"Remember to use the soul-binding talisman to press her soul into her charred corpse later. The soul will be immortal, and she will be alive even if she is not dead. I'm sorry that the soul lamp will not react at all."
The fire burned for a while and showed no signs of extinguishing.
"Why hasn't the thing that Senior Brother Jia asked for been burned?"
"Isn't it said that it is a fire element treasure? It will not be swallowed up by the true flame of the fire phoenix."
The leader seemed to have noticed something unusual and got a little closer. The temperature of the flames made him unbearable, and he could faintly see a figure rising in the flames.
He took a closer look, and saw the figure's fingertips moving slightly, and a long whip wrapped in flames was suddenly thrown away.
"Brother!"
"careful!"
The long whip was caught off guard by the man's neck, and the rising flames instantly flowed backwards along the long whip toward the man. In an instant, the whole person was enveloped in a sea of fire.
“Ahhhhh——”
Zhao Ning appeared intact, staring at the remaining two people with a cold expression.
"You...how could you..."
But she saw a spiritual talisman held between the fingertips of her left hand. The spiritual talisman was activated, and a transparent light curtain was attached to her surface.
"The ultimate fire-avoiding talisman!"
Chapter 104
"I wonder if any of you have prepared fire-avoiding charms to prevent backlash?" Zhao Ning smiled coldly.
The long brocade whip suddenly exerted force, and the disciple surnamed Lin who was bound by the whip was thrown towards the two of them like a fireball.
As the disciple surnamed Lin wailed in pain, the two of them subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the flames splashed around so that they had nowhere to hide. In an instant, the hem of their clothes was ignited in flames, and the next moment it would spread all over their bodies.
