Taojun realm.
The people here built a city specially for the opening in a few days, and it seemed that it was built in a short period of time.
Just as he was about to step into the city gate, someone stopped Yun Shu.
"You have to pay five spiritual stones to enter the city. This city was built by our Chu family. When you come and go, you will naturally have to pay some temporary accommodation fees." A person who looked like a guard said.
Yun Shu took a look at his cultivation level and found that he was in the fake elixir stage.
At such a level, in today's Wanjiang Pavilion, he is already qualified to control the sect. For example, Shangguan Yi has always wanted to control the sect.
But here, he is just a gatekeeper.
The Chu family is considered to be the top big family in the great domain. It is about the same strength as the Wuji Immortal Sect, and they are both extremely powerful.
As expected of a family, there are many ways to make money.
Building a city is just a resting place, but if you can't get in, you will naturally be excluded.
This rough and simple city is like a big city in the world. It doesn't take much time and spiritual stones to collect the fees for coming and going, and it can even record the strength of the people who come and go around it. This is to achieve multiple things with one stone.
"Then I won't go in." Yun Shu took a few steps back and smiled.
He came here for the Taojun treasure, not to show off in the city, and even if there was a trading market, he didn't think it was anything. He had plenty of things he brought with him, and he didn't lack anything. This about them.
Five spiritual stones, what a joke.
Is this how spiritual stones are used?
So, simply don’t enter.
"I paid the benefactor's fee. Little benefactor, you should go in and have a look. There will be a lot of news inside. The more news you have, the more protection you will have." A young novice monk wearing a gray robe came over with a smile. , said, "Don't lose your life because of these spiritual stones."
He is a very smart monk, with a handsome and delicate face, and his whole person exudes a mysterious and mysterious atmosphere.
Then he cheerfully took out ten spirit stones, but before Yun Shu could thank him, the man walked over directly.
Yun Shu glanced at his back, he was a very interesting person.
Then he followed the young novice and walked in.
"What's your name? I don't have any spirit stones to return to you." Yun Shu shouted.
"Poor Monk Kongxing, as for the spiritual stone, since you have seen it, you are destined to be a donor, and there is no need to return it." The little novice clasped his hands together and said without looking back.
Yun Shu's eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn't see through this person's strength. There seemed to be a layer of mist, but he was able to get a rough idea with his strong mental power. His strength should be around the early stage of Nascent Soul.
And, emptiness?
Wankongshan Buddha?
He didn't continue to chase or ask questions. Knowing these two pieces of information was enough.
Wan Kong Mountain is a force even more powerful than Wuji Immortal Sect.
As for how powerful they are, Yun Shu doesn't know, but their inheritance is far older, even longer than Wanjiang Pavilion.
Wanjiang Pavilion has only been around for less than two thousand years, with ups and downs, ups and downs.
But Wankong Mountain has always been half hidden and half real, but it has survived for so long.
It doesn't seem strange that there is an extremely powerful old monk inside.
A Buddhist disciple would be so powerful, so he must be quite famous.
Yun Shu casually found a place to stay, but he didn't stay in a hotel because that also cost spiritual stones.
Although there are spiritual stones, they are not worth it.
He can stay anywhere, it's just cultivation.
I found a secluded open space to practice for one night.
The next day, he went to the trading market.
He didn't get anything in exchange, but he bought some alchemy materials at a low price.
Many medicinal materials were recorded in Wanjiange's classics. Many powerful sects destroyed Wanjiange's classics, but these ancient books recording common sense were also preserved.
So there was no pressure on him to identify the herbs.
He had nothing to sell, but bought a lot.
Moreover, it is very cheap, has sufficient medicinal properties, and has not disappeared anywhere.
Most of the traders in this kind of business are casual cultivators. After the casual cultivators picked this elixir, it was more or less damaged and the appearance was not very good, but the potency of the medicine was still sufficient.
And if you only have one or two plants, many shops won't accept them, but you can still sell them here.
Even if this price is reduced, it will not be much lower.
They may just try their luck in the secret realm, and trading is their real purpose.
Yun Shu was also happy.
But it would be better if these casual cultivators could be included in their own organizations.
He couldn't say that these were all desperate people, but at least they were those with no hope of life. They all had limited qualifications and talents, and it was extremely difficult to improve themselves.
In other words, some of them simply have unknown identities, and some may have become rogue cultivators after they killed someone and kept their names anonymous to prevent tracing.
But Yun Shu didn't care.
No matter what their status is, as long as they can do things for him, they are good people.
Yun Shu is a person who only looks at the results, not the process.
So no matter what the method was, he didn't think there was anything shady. It was just one of the necessary methods to achieve things.
Among these people, the most powerful ones even reached the Golden Core stage.
Casual cultivation in the golden elixir period.
See the unseen.
However, it still seems to be very common here.
At least the third-grade and fourth-grade elixirs in his hands were contributed by these people.
They even called their friends to come over and take out the elixir for Yun Shu to choose.
This is the casual cultivator. The most important thing for them is connections and interpersonal relationships, so most of the casual cultivators who are easy to open are all good-looking people. They can make you feel very comfortable in front of you, but they can make you feel chilly behind the scenes. .
Yun Shu naturally understood, so the relationship with them went very far.
Moreover, the price of herbal medicines was cut to a very low level, at least the price of spiritual stones that they could hardly accept. In this way, Yun Shu also avoided a lot of trouble. Otherwise, what would happen if these people thought he was some wealthy businessman and targeted him to send money? ?
He didn't want to deal with these golden elixirs all the time. Not to mention the trouble, they wouldn't be able to provide him with many spiritual stones.
Especially casual cultivators, they are all poor.
On the third day, Yun Shu gradually heard people talking that the Dao Lord Realm outside was about to open.
Now there are outlines.
It is said that this was the treasure of Daojun Xuanyue many years ago.
"This name sounds so familiar." came the Patriarch's voice. "Thousands of years have passed. I originally thought he was still alive. Unexpectedly, he died a thousand years ago?"
"But in this secret realm, maybe he didn't die. He just left his inheritance here. Maybe, a person of this level is not that worthy of attention."
"The Patriarch has seen him?" Yun Shu asked gently.
"I've never seen it, but I've only heard of this name. In this great domain, he is still one of the top ones. After all, except for us, the strongest person in the great domain is around the stage of becoming a god, but he is a demon. Xiu, you should pay more attention to this point, I just heard about him at that time."
"That's right." Yun Shu nodded lightly. It seemed that the ancestor also knew something was wrong.
It was just a demon cultivator that the Patriarch had heard of occasionally, and he never paid it any attention, let alone whether he was dead or alive. But now it seems that he should have died as early as the Patriarch's time.
If he could survive until now, he wouldn't have established any inheritance, because the demon cultivator didn't care about these things at all.
Demonic cultivation only cares about oneself and is a more personal type of cultivation.
Because they themselves are still in danger, they may be killed by the scourge at any time. The power of this scourge far exceeds their imagination.
And there are no relatives or friends at all. Except for those demon cultivators from the sect, other casual demon cultivators have a solitary character.
Because it is better to do some things alone.
Demon cultivators sometimes need that kind of evil spirit to practice. This kind of evil spirit can only kill people.
Therefore, even if such a person is dead, he may have to be extremely careful in this secret realm.
"Then what strength did he have during his lifetime?" Yun Shu paused and asked.
"It should be at the stage of becoming a god, or above it, and it will not go beyond this stage, because he was really a very young demonic monk at that time. As for why I have heard of his name, it is because he and An inner disciple of the sect had some conflicts, and one of his arms was chopped off by that disciple," said the Patriarch.
Yun Shu, "..."
The Wanjiang Pavilion back then was indeed powerful, and even this kind of monk was not looked down upon, but for the current sect, such a person can be destroyed with a snap of a finger.
It’s not that it’s getting worse, it may just be because this group of people haven’t grown up yet.
Now it seems that this monk should have a grudge against Wanjiange.
We can only pray that his soul has already returned to the ground by now, otherwise it may be a big trouble. After all, thousands of years have passed, and no one knows how far his strength has grown.
Yun Shu suddenly felt that as his strength became stronger and stronger, the strength of those he came into contact with also increased.
And there seems to be quite a lot of these hateful exchanges.
However, everyone pushed against the wall. Thousands of years have passed, and no major accidents have happened. Now that the sect is in such a state of decline, no one may care anymore, and it is not the same thing as it was back then.
Now that he knew the situation, he didn't want to stay any longer.
All he had to do was wait outside for it to be activated. It was not the time to activate it yet. It was the same as practicing here as outside. Anyway, there was no shelter from the wind and rain, and he didn't need any shelter.
After exiting the city gate again, he fled into the distance.
The Dao Lord Realm is indeed not far from here, and it can be seen from a distance. Now I can also feel the change of the aura. There is an extremely powerful aura permeating there. It must be guarded by a formation, but now It's not time to turn it on yet.
This is the first time he has faced this kind of secret realm, and he feels that he must at least adjust his aura to its peak first.
Otherwise, there might be a lot of dangers inside that he hadn't expected. If he really fell into it, it would really be more of a loss than a gain.
During this period of time, he has been practicing the Four Symbols Technique.
If you can really reach the peak of divine transformation, you won't need to do too many actions.
A person who has been dead for a thousand years, or a secret realm that has existed for a thousand years, may have long lost its original power.
No matter how powerful the formations and people are, they cannot withstand the erosion of time, so these are originally hidden and can be revealed after the spiritual energy is consumed. This is the secret realm.
Secret realms need to be attacked, because the owner inside will set up many obstacles, and it is impossible for anyone to disturb his sleep or corpse.
Yun Shu looked into the distance and walked closer and closer.
There is a light blue light shining here, and the entire secret realm is hidden in the void. There are many formations here, and from his perspective, the level of this formation is very high.
"Why do demon cultivators practice so many formations? It seems like everyone is proficient in them." Yun Shu was quite curious when he thought of this.
The Patriarch explained it to him patiently, maybe out of boredom, "They are also using their own way to analyze the world, and they are more skillful in using formations. They completely regard formations as a means of attack. This is also easy to understand, they are mostly stragglers, and having a little more formations will give them more protection, and they can also be used to fight against natural disasters."
"If you look carefully at the formation in front of you, there shouldn't be any big loopholes. This proves that his formation method has been perfected and his strength is not bad, at least it has reached the level of god transformation. It's just that this Why Level died here is a mystery.”
Yun Shu nodded gently. The Patriarch had personally proved that this person's strength was above the stage of transformation into a god. Otherwise, he would not have been able to set up such a large formation.
As for why it fell, I'm afraid no one knows.
But as long as you can walk in, this mystery will no longer be a mystery, and there will definitely be an answer, because this kind of dojo is basically left by people when they are about to die.
It is possible that they are not passing on their own skills, but are just serving as a cemetery.
Now because the spiritual energy is not enough and it has dissipated too much, it is also possible that it will resurface after a thousand years, and this is the case in most cases.
Hide your own cemetery in the void to form a special field, and then you can be stable for a long time.
But this is not permanent. Even the secret realms of those super powerful people will still be coveted. Whether they are of the same level or higher, they will be tempted by the burial objects inside. Unless you have nothing and don’t need anything. It's nothing if you come to be buried with him.
But having nothing is not an option. Someone might be interested in your body.
There is also some spiritual energy in the corpse, so it can be made into puppets, devils and the like.
This kind of magic method is really shameful.
But then again, who wouldn't want to use such a method, because it can increase combat power out of thin air.
Whatever strength this person had in life, it is entirely possible for him to achieve that strength after being refined into a puppet.
Of course, it is only possible. This requires too many materials. It is completely refining. Most of the puppets are not as strong as they were in life. One-tenth of them is already considered extremely impressive. .
It is no exaggeration to say that the resources required to refine the puppet of a super strong person can completely cultivate a super strong person.
This place is not completely open yet, and even part of it is hidden in the void. Now you can only see the light blue formation, and you can't see clearly inside because there is an illusory formation, so you can only see it in confusion. A mist.
Maybe you really have to wait for it to be completely opened before you can break in.
Now that this formation has appeared in people's field of vision, it no longer has much effect.
So it is relatively easy to break in, but there will be many obstacles inside. Demonic cultivators are bloodthirsty by nature, and they will not pay attention to those who are weaker than themselves. If there are many people to be buried with them, then of course it will be It could not be better.
So even after it is turned on, you must be extra careful.
Yun Shu was not the first to come here, nor was he the last.
The closer you get, the more you can see that a group of people have been waiting here early, just waiting for the secret realm to open, and then rush in as soon as possible, and they may get more things.
However, it is very likely that they have become cannon fodder. They know this in their hearts, but there is no way.
They are just casual cultivators and have no one to rely on.
Even the training resources are obtained by robbing or being hired by others.
This secret realm is an opportunity for them to make a comeback. If they wait until the secret realm is completely opened before entering again, they will naturally not be able to capture the disciples of those big forces and sects. Therefore, they can only seek wealth and wealth in danger. The best result is to be able to seize the opportunity first. Use the machine, break in, pick up an item and come out immediately.
Regardless of whether the things obtained are extremely precious, at least it is enough for them to live and settle down.
When embarking on the path of cultivation, everyone is not satisfied with their current state. They abandon the wealth and honor in the world and abandon many things, just to be stronger and become a master.
It would be great if you could join a certain force and become a worshiper after becoming stronger.
But this is also an ideal situation. They still have to run for these resources every day.
Because resources are extremely limited, and most of them are controlled by powerful forces.
They had no choice but to fight with their lives.
In fact, this is the same as within the sect. Most people in the sect also have to struggle. Individual cultivators will have more freedom, but most people cannot be self-sufficient.
Therefore, Yun Shu can also understand them extremely well.
Just like I once worked hard for such a small amount of cultivation resources, not everyone's cultivation path is smooth, but everyone is equally dissatisfied.
Everyone wants to reach a higher realm, and everyone wants to have fewer people above them.
Perhaps this way they can demonstrate their strength and status. To be more realistic, the higher the level of cultivation, the longer the status and life span. This is fatally attractive to most people.
Two more days passed.
There are more and more people here.
You can even see many strong men with powerful auras.
They have all traveled a long way in the Nascent Soul stage, and they have all practiced the technique of concealing aura. Even Yun Shu cannot completely detect their level of strength. This may be a high-level secret technique or Some magic weapons to hide information.
This is also normal.
Although I can't see the specifics, I still have a general feeling. After all, his mental power is not in vain.
It's just not that clear, but it can still be locked within a certain range. For example, for the Chu family's genius, he can feel that that person's strength should be around the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
And the aura is powerful, at least close to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
This kind of strength is extremely strong, at least it represents the courage that a large sect should have.
If a genius within a large sect has not reached the Nascent Soul stage, then he may be a little bit inactive. As for what kind of physique he has, he doesn't know, but he has reached it at the age of less than thirty years old. At this level, it can be seen that it is normal.
Talent is almost unquestionable.
At least in Wanjiang Pavilion, such a genius could not be cultivated before.
This requires a lot of resource allocation to reach this level, and it is not just about talent.
Yun Shu would compare some things with Wanjiange.
After all, I came from a small place, and I was very interested in meeting Tianjiao.
Soon a young novice monk came over from a distance, wearing a dusty monk's robe, with ancient Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and his hands clasped together.
"Donor, we meet again." The little novice monk came over.
He is still smiling, his eyes are curved like crescent moons, very beautiful.
If he had hair, he would look like a handsome young man, but now he has a bald head, which gives him a different kind of beauty.
"Yes, what a coincidence, Master Emptiness." He even emphasized the last four words in his voice.
Just these words made everyone around him look over, and their expressions changed slightly the moment they saw the little novice monk.
Even the few people at the front came over to take a look, but presumably they had known the news for a long time, so there wouldn't be much fluctuation, but just letting them take a look was enough for Yun Shu's goal to be achieved.
Sure enough, soon the little novice monk was surrounded by several powerful casual cultivators and walked forward.
The other top powerhouses were all the kind who stayed away from strangers. Only the little novice monk was smiling all the time and looked extremely kind. Naturally, these casual cultivators regarded him as their backbone.
The little novice monk glanced at Yun Shu helplessly.
Yun Shu continued to sit there cross-legged.
Except for a few glances at him at first, no one paid attention to him anymore.
He was also happy with it.
After all, if you talk too much to the little novice monk, you will inevitably be stared at, which will not be good at that time. Moreover, he does not like the feeling of being in the spotlight. Cultivation is an extremely personal matter and requires a very quiet person. environment.
