"What?" Zhou Yang felt that his chest was pressed against a hard object, and his skin and flesh were a little painful. When he looked down, he was shocked to see that there was a square mark on the robe on his chest, but the clothes were not torn.
He hurriedly reached into his arms and took out the hard object.
"This is..." What appeared in his hand was a square object. It was not heavy. It looked like some kind of metal, but he didn't recognize it.
As he penetrated his spiritual consciousness into the artifact, many words and graphics appeared in his mind.
The graphics are very strange, but it can be seen that it is a formation, consisting of many formation patterns, which is extremely complicated. There are words underneath each graphic, but unfortunately he doesn't recognize any of them.
"It's ancient writing again!" Zhou Yang was a little depressed.
This square artifact is definitely a good thing. It should be related to the formation. You must learn the ancient characters after you go out, otherwise you will not know the treasures.
As early as when he first picked up the Five Elements Token in Cangshou Mountain, he had made up his mind to cultivate the ancient characters, but even today he has not been able to achieve it.
This time he was really determined to learn it no matter what the cost.
"No, there seems to be something missing?" Seeing this square utensil, Zhou Yang suddenly remembered something.
When leaving the mysterious palace, there was a final dragon roar, and it seemed that a sound wave rushed into his sea of consciousness. It is somewhat inaccurate to say that it is sound waves, but it is similar to sound transmission, but it is different from sound transmission.
"It seems, as if a consciousness has forcibly entered into my sea of consciousness!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang was frightened and his spine went cold. It would be terrible if he was possessed by something. However, there was nothing in the sea of consciousness. He hurriedly checked his soul. The three souls and seven souls were doing their jobs, and there was nothing abnormal.
"This is strange, what is it?" Zhou Yang was holding the square object in a daze.
After a long time, he sighed and put the utensils back into the storage bag, ready to explore the surrounding environment.
However, a treasure light suddenly emitted from the storage bag, and the treasure light broke through the storage bag and flew straight into the sky. Zhou Yang was startled and hurriedly put his consciousness deep into the storage bag to check.
But he saw that the square object was emitting a bright halo, but it was fading rapidly. At this time, his destiny talisman was also filled with runes, and a halo surrounded the body. It had an inexplicable connection with the square artifact, and was undergoing some kind of transformation.
"This...these two are connected, could it be..." Zhou Yang's eyes lit up, and he had some kind of guess.
This square artifact should be related to the Ming clan. Maybe it is a treasure of the Ming clan, otherwise it would not be connected with the destiny talisman.
If this is the case, then this mysterious palace in the secret realm is probably related to the Ming clan.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in his mind, as if someone was speaking to him.
At the same time, his body and consciousness were instantly numb, unable to move, and his consciousness was somewhat blurred. He could only passively listen to the voice.
After an unknown amount of time, the brilliance of the fortune talisman and square utensils in the storage bag gradually dimmed, and then they all disappeared.
The square object was restored to its original state, but the black fortune talisman had undergone great changes. It turned into a rectangular cyan object, densely covered with runes, with a ferocious blue dragon pattern on the front and a blurry map on the back. , the appearance cannot be seen clearly at all.
At this time, Zhou Yang's consciousness gradually woke up, but after waking up, his expression did not change at all. He seemed very indifferent, but he was quietly digesting the information in his mind just now.
"The Code of Destiny!" It turns out that this is a classic that records the inheritance of the Ming clan, and it is also the supreme treasure of the Ming clan.
The content of the classics is huge and vast. It was created by countless sages of the Ming clan. It integrates the secrets of martial arts, alchemy and weapon refining, strange formations, medical treatment of diseases, pulse and treasure hunting, etc. It is an encyclopedic treasure.
However, the consciousness that entered his sea of consciousness only told the basic situation of this code, that is, the general outline.
He needs to read other contents by himself, and there are many restrictions, mainly limitations on cultivation. With his current strength, he can only watch a very small part, and he still has to understand ancient texts.
The amount of information was not large. In addition to introducing the general outline, it also reminded cultivators who obtained the code to keep it carefully and not to let anyone outside the Ming clan see it. In particular, they should not let outsiders obtain the code and the celestial talisman at the same time.
"It turns out that my destiny talisman is called the Heavenly Talisman. Isn't it the highest-level destiny talisman? Without this destiny talisman, I would never have obtained this treasure book." Zhou Yang murmured to himself.
Anything with the word "Heaven" in it is usually extremely precious, so he made this guess.
So, everything he encountered in that mysterious palace was a test for himself? It seems that he has passed the test, but what does the green dragon in the yellow mantle have to do with the Ming clan?
"Code of Destiny, Destiny..." The name of the code made Zhou Yang have many thoughts.
He has seen in many classics the way Hezhou cultivates the world, which is based on destiny. Could it be that this way of counting is related to the code of destiny? Or is it that the Code of Destiny is named after the Hezhou calendar?
There is also the topic of Tian acupoints in the cultivation system. So there are so many Tian characters in the Ming clan. Is this all a coincidence?
But this is not the time to think too much. You have to leave here first, reach a safe place and then read the code carefully.
Fortunately, there was no one here, otherwise the treasure light rushing out would have attracted a large number of cultivators. He hurriedly put the storage bag into his arms carefully, and then looked around.
However, when his consciousness scanned the storage bag, his heart moved, as if something was missing inside.
What's missing? Zhou Yang checked carefully with his spiritual consciousness and found that the bones of the two golden elixir masters were missing!
One of them was obtained at the site of the Tongtian Holy Sect of the Kingdom of Jincheng. The other one was found in the dark space of Xuan Bing. I definitely didn’t throw it away, but where did I throw it away? Did you lose it during the battle with the Flame Beast?
Only at that time, his intermediate storage bag was bitten by the beasts, and the contents were scattered on the floor. The You brothers were present at that time.
Was it taken away by the You brothers? Ordinarily, given their personalities, they shouldn't.
No, in that mysterious palace, I unknowingly obtained the Code of Destiny. Is it possible that I also unknowingly lost the two bones?
If that were the case, it would be intriguing.
When he couldn't remember it, he stopped thinking about it, and Zhou Yang continued to explore the surrounding situation.
"Well, this is not the entrance to the secret realm of Baizong Mountain!" Except for the similar heat, everything else is different.
"Is there another teleportation point? No matter where you are teleported, it should be within the scope of Baizong Mountain. This may be a certain area of Baizong Mountain."
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Yang wanted to find the map of Baizong Mountain to check, but suddenly he felt the fire in Tanzhong Point move, and then the spiritual sea in lower Dantian also began to stir.
"Is this... about to break through?" Zhou Yang was shocked. He didn't expect that he would break through just after leaving the secret realm.
As early as half a year ago, he reached the third level of Tianyuan, but there has been no sign of breakthrough since then. That was due to the suppression of the secret realm. Now, as soon as he leaves the secret realm, there are signs of breakthrough. It seems that his perception and magic power have reached the critical point.
"The heat here is unbearable. There must be underground fire nearby. It would be better to find the underground fire first and then break through. That would be more effective." Zhou Yang looked around and thought to himself.
As soon as he thought of it, he did it. Zhou Yang tapped the ground lightly with his toes and immediately rose into the air.
This jump didn't matter, it actually shocked him. He didn't put any effort at all, but he was sixty or seventy feet tall!
"Haha, without the restraint of gravity, I feel like a bird out of the cage!" Zhou Yang was overjoyed. With a little help of magic, his body was raised fifty or sixty feet again, and then he swept forward with his sword.
The current flying speed is more than ten times faster than before, and the distance of tens of miles has been crossed in just ten breaths. The white mist is still there, but the heat has increased greatly.
"Hahahaha, so happy, so happy!"
Zhou Yang violently destroyed his magic power, and the flying sword flew across the sky like a shooting star. The speed was much faster, and the long sword light left a red ribbon in the white mist, which looked really beautiful.
After the cup of tea, the white mist gradually became smaller, and the red earth began to appear in sight. There were still huge amounts of red fire rocks, which were somewhat similar to the terrain outside the Baizong Mountain Passage.
"It's magma!" Zhou Yang, who was high in the sky, spotted the slowly flowing red liquid below at a glance.
In his opinion, there should be ground fire nearby. Unexpectedly, there was no ground fire, but magma appeared directly!
This is better. The temperature of magma is much higher than that of ordinary ground fire, so the breakthrough effect will be better.
He slowly lowered the flying sword and felt a wave of heat coming towards his face. At this time, it was still dozens of feet high from the ground. An ordinary person would have been roasted to the point of being unbearable.
But Zhou Yang has a dual-attribute physique, so he naturally doesn't care about these. After feeling the temperature, he put away his flying sword and fell directly into the magma.
The radius of this magma was unknown. After Zhou Yang sank about ten feet, he felt that it was much worse than the ground fire on the eighth floor of Jiuchigou, and could barely reach the temperature of the seventh floor.
He continued to sink his body, feeling that the temperature was slightly higher. It was not until he was a hundred feet deep that it reached half of the heat of the eighth level.
Zhou Yang paused for a moment, closing his eyes and feeling the earthly fire breath in the magma.
Different from the Netherworld Fire in Jiuchigou, the breath of the Earth Fire here is relatively mild, and the fire is absorbed very slowly. There is no need to deliberately control the fire and mind.
Zhou Yang felt relieved and continued his descent.
The temperature was getting higher and higher, and he felt a little uncomfortable, so he stopped to realize it again.
After repeating this process several times, Zhou Yang had penetrated a thousand feet into the underground magma. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the depth of the magma.
His body couldn't bear any further descent. Zhou Yang completely relaxed his mind and began to make a breakthrough. The essence of the earth fire deep in the magma began to penetrate into the fire. It was very slow at first, and there was basically no major confrontation with the nether earth fire.
