Tian Xiaoding used psychic skills to communicate with a giant tree at the entrance of the valley, and learned that the place where he was transported by the teleportation array was a secret realm of the ghost tribe, called the Nether Secret Realm.
This netherworld secret realm opens once every hundred years, and each opening lasts for half a month. The secret realm contains spiritual plants, weapon refining materials, and other unique heavenly materials and earthly treasures unique to the Netherworld that can be used by the ghost tribesmen during their cultivation. The official opening time will be two days later. The reason why Xiao Ding was able to enter the secret realm in advance was because he was not a member of the ghost tribe and was not subject to this restriction.
In addition, the giant tree also told Xiao Ding that the teleportation array outside the secret realm is a random teleportation array. If you ride this teleportation array into the Netherworld Secret Realm, you will be randomly sent to various places in the secret realm.
Even so, Xiao Ding is still worried that a large number of ghost tribesmen will enter the Netherworld Secret Realm in two days, which will be detrimental to him, so he is already considering making preparations in advance.
From the giant tree, Xiao Ding also learned that there is no Wangchen River in the secret realm. If he wants to go to the Wangchen River, he can only wait for the secret realm to end and then look for it after being ejected from the secret realm.
Saying goodbye to the giant tree, Xiao Ding walked towards the depths of the valley. Although he had already checked through his spiritual consciousness and found that there was nothing dangerous within the scope of his spiritual consciousness, he still walked very carefully. 33
After all, this is an unknown place, and who knows if there may be potential dangers that cannot be detected by the divine sense.
The mountains within the secret realm were shrouded in thick black mist. According to what the giant tree said, this black mist or black energy is the ghost energy that the ghost tribesmen need when they practice. It is the same as the spiritual energy that humans need when they practice. It is very important to the ghost tribesmen.
It's a pity that so many ghost energies in the secret realm are of no use to human monks. Not only that, the other spiritual plants and weapon refining materials in the secret realm are also exclusively used by the ghost tribe and have no use for humans.
However, this secret realm cannot be entered or exited. Even if Xiao Ding does not want to stay in it, he will have no way to get out until the secret realm ends.
Now, he can only find a hidden place for the time being, hide for half a month, and then wait for the secret realm to end, and be automatically teleported out of the secret realm along with other ghost tribesmen.
Xiao Ding moved forward in the secret realm. As the giant tree said, he met many spiritual plants used by the ghost tribe to make elixirs. Although he could not recognize them all, he had seen a few of them in some classics. For example, corpse ginseng, corpse flower, ghost grass, soul-breaking wood, etc.
Xiao Ding also didn't know much about the refining materials used by the ghost tribe. He only knew that the ghost tribesmen had their own unique recipes whether they were refining elixirs or refining weapons. They will use will-o'-the-wisps to refine elixirs and weapons.
Will-o'-the-wisps are extremely sinister flames, and the materials for refining elixirs and refining weapons are also of sinister nature. Therefore, the elixirs and utensils refined using will-o'-the-wisps are all filled with sinister aura. This is not true. What humans can control.
If humans want to forcefully use the elixirs or artifacts of the ghost tribe, in many cases, not only will they fail to achieve the expected results, but they will often suffer from evil backlash, and the gains outweigh the losses.
In this way, although Xiao Ding entered the ghost tribe's secret realm, he was not interested in the things in the secret realm at all.
After he entered the valley, he walked along the mountain wall on the right. When he reached a corner, he saw a large area of rocks. In the gaps between these rocks, there are actually many dark flowers growing.
Xiao Ding couldn't identify what kind of flowers these black flowers were. He only saw bursts of rich black energy exuding between the petals of these flowers, which made him feel an evil feeling. Xiao Ding guessed that this kind of flower might be one of the precious spiritual plants needed by the ghost tribe.
So, he decided to set a trap in this rocky area. If there were ghost people who wanted to harm him, then he would lure them here to plot.
Two days later, thousands of ghost tribesmen had already gathered outside the huge light curtain of the Netherworld Secret Realm barrier. The highest level of cultivation of these ghost tribesmen is the realm of ghost generals.
This is because only ghost generals and ghost tribesmen below are eligible to enter the Netherworld Secret Realm.
The dozen ghost tribesmen who were chasing Xiao Ding were also mixed in the crowd. That day they chased Xiao Ding and watched helplessly as Xiao Ding disappeared on the teleportation array. This made them very angry. Although they gritted their teeth and hated Xiao Ding deeply, they had no choice but to wait outside the light curtain for two more days, waiting for the secret realm to open.
Seeing that the time for the secret realm to open was approaching, all the ghost tribesmen in the Ghost General Realm stood in front and gathered around the teleportation array. The other ghost tribesmen with relatively lower cultivation levels were automatically ranked behind.
There is no way, the law of the jungle applies everywhere. Among the ghost tribe members, the strong are also given priority here. Naturally, the ghost tribesmen with low cultivation level did not dare to compete with these ghost generals for positions.
When the time came for the secret realm to open, the light pillar on the teleportation array outside the light curtain immediately shone, and gradually started to rotate from slow to fast.
This shows that the teleportation array has been automatically opened.
If Xiao Ding were here, he would be surprised to find that it turns out that when the ghost tribesmen enter the secret realm by riding the teleportation array, they do not need to throw spiritual stones into the array, nor do they need to use additional spiritual power to activate the array eyes. They only need to wait until it is turned on, and the teleportation array will start running automatically.
This teleportation array can accommodate eight people at a time. Therefore, when the ghost generals surrounding the teleportation array see that the teleportation array is running, they will automatically float up to eight people.
Although there were many people around waiting for the teleportation, no one would step forward to fight for it. After all, everyone is in the realm of ghost generals. If they fight here, it will not only delay the time to enter the secret realm, but also, if not done well, both sides will be hurt.
Therefore, everyone tacitly waited patiently around the teleportation array. As long as the ghost tribesmen on the teleportation array disappeared, eight of them would immediately stand up again.
In this way, the transmission speed is not slow.
The ghost tribesmen who were teleported into the secret realm were randomly sent to various places in the secret realm and scattered. Everyone gets what they need, and there is not much fighting. This is very different from the situation when the secret realm of mankind is opened.
Xiao Ding has participated in several human secret realms before, all of which were full of dangers. After entering, you must be wary not only of the various monsters inside, but also of other monks who intend to kill people and seize treasures. If you can walk into those secret realms and leave alive, you are considered lucky.
But the ghost tribe's secret realm is a little different. First of all, the various natural and earthly treasures in the Netherworld Secret Realm are not guarded by monsters. Anyone who encounters them can pick them at will without any danger. Secondly, the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Netherworld Secret Realm are also of different levels. Different levels and types of spiritual plants or materials are suitable for ghost monks of different levels. Everyone gets what they want and there isn't much conflict.
Unless two ghost cultivators of the same level are interested in the same spiritual plant or other treasure, and neither party is willing to give in, a conflict will arise. Most of the time, ghost cultivators in the ghost general realm only look for spiritual plants or materials suitable for the ghost general realm, while ghost cultivators in the ghost warrior realm look for spiritual plants and materials suitable for the ghost warrior level.
Without the conflict of interest, there is no need for high-level ghost cultivators to go on a killing spree and kill low-level ghost cultivators. Ghost cultivators of the same level are mostly indifferent to each other, and are easily and unwilling to fight with each other for a certain spiritual plant or other materials. If a fight breaks out, most of the time the result will be a fight in which both sides will be injured and no one will benefit.
Therefore, Xiao Ding, who had been hiding in a valley in the secret realm for a long time, had discovered several waves of ghost tribesmen passing by the valley where he was, but no fights occurred.
This made Xiao Ding very curious. If it were a human, with so many types of spiritual plants in the valley, if anyone were to encounter them, they would definitely want to devour them for themselves.
On the first day when the Netherworld Secret Realm was opened, the ghost tribesmen Xiao Ding met in the valley were all low-level ghost cultivators, and they did not find Xiao Ding hiding in the dark.
On the second day, a ghost general who had been chasing Xiao Ding walked into the valley.
Xiao Ding originally wanted to use invisibility and concealment skills to avoid it. However, when he saw that the ghost general was alone, his mind immediately became active.
With his current force value of the 27th level of Qi training, plus his many other methods, Xiao Ding felt that he was still capable of fighting against a ghost general who was equivalent to the human Golden Core stage. What's more, he also has a unique trick - Divine Light, Heavenly Fire and Thunder. This extremely strong and extremely yang technique can be used to deal with the evil and weird ghost tribesmen, and it can just restrain them.
In addition, even if Xiao Ding cannot defeat the ghost general on his own, there are Ah Li, Ouyang Qing, and eight monsters and spirits in his Qian Kun Pot, who can come out to help him at any time.
Therefore, Xiao Ding feels that as long as the opponent is alone, then if he fights with the opponent, he should have a 70% chance of winning.
So, Xiao Ding simply stopped hiding. Now that the other party has been singled out, if you can kill one of them, kill the other one first. In case the secret realm ends in the future, if he encounters their group of ghost tribesmen again, wouldn't he have to run away everywhere?
Xiao Ding deliberately revealed his whereabouts and was quickly discovered by the ghost general.
To Xiao Ding's surprise, after the ghost general discovered Xiao Ding, he did not immediately run towards Xiao Ding's hiding place. Instead, he took out a shiny pipa bone from his storage bag and stretched out his hand. Degui Claw clicked on it several times in succession.
Xiao Ding couldn't figure out why the ghost general did this. He only saw several lines of black air lingering on the pipa bone, and then there were densely packed bright spots.
After poking the Pipa bone several times, the ghost general put away the Pipa bone and drifted towards Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding still pretended not to know, standing on the spot, looking at the high mountain peaks hidden in the black mist, as if he was looking for a way out of the valley.
When the ghost general came about four or five feet away from Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding suddenly turned his head, looked at the ghost general, gave him a wicked smile and said, "Did you come here by yourself? ?”
The ghost general opposite was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xiao Ding to ask such a question. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted and said coldly: "What? Can't I kill you by myself?"
The reason why this ghost general said this was because he only saw that Xiao Ding was at the Great Perfection of Qi Practicing. Although he had encountered Xiao Ding twice before, in those two times Xiao Ding either became invisible or escaped. He did not He didn't see Xiao Ding's true ability, so he didn't take Xiao Ding seriously.
Some people died, but not completely...
