"Don't get me wrong, fellow Taoist Mo. Wu did remind you out of good intentions. Since fellow Taoist doesn't appreciate it, forget it..." vaguely seeing the other party's plan, the man surnamed Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, but Suddenly something occurred to him, and he smiled warmly again.
This time it was Mo Juren's turn to be surprised. He thought that there would be a fight, but he didn't expect that the other party chose to retreat, which was a bit beyond his expectation.
Judging from the current situation, the four opponents have an 'absolute advantage' and cannot give in. Then there is only one possibility, that is, he has other plans and plans to retreat in order to advance.
This couldn't help but make him a little curious, and he thought to himself, since you want to play, then let's play. I want to see what tricks I can play?
Thinking of this, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, and immediately strode forward, pushed open the stone door in the eyes of the four people with different expressions, then stepped in, and disappeared in an instant.
"Brother, what are you..." Next to the man surnamed Wu, a middle-aged man in a green robe was a little confused and asked quickly. The other two people also cast doubtful glances.
"Don't worry, I did this for a reason." The man surnamed Wu had obviously expected it, and he did not explain immediately. Instead, his body swayed, and the next moment, an illusory figure emerged.
That figure is very special. Judging from the appearance, it is almost exactly the same as himself, but there is a trace of strange mana fluctuations permeating the whole body, making its entire body dream-like and somewhat unreal.
"Three unique illusions, brother, you have successfully cultivated this top secret technique!" The moment he saw the figure, the man in green robe suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Even if you practice to a small degree, you can only condense an illusory body." The man surnamed Wu smiled slightly, but there was a trace of unconcealable confidence in his eyes.
"I have long heard that among the seven top secret techniques created by Sect Leader Wu of your sect, this 'Three Absolute Illusion Body' should be the secret of clones. It is indeed well-deserved. I didn't expect that Wu Daoyou could actually master this secret technique. It is really enviable. "The other two people also congratulated.
"It's just a gift from our ancestors, and Wu got it by luck." The man named Wu chuckled, and then, with a thought in his mind, the illusory figure turned into a ray of light and flew into the central stone door.
"Big brother asked the phantom body to go, could it be that he planned to..." The man in green robe was startled for a moment, but he quickly realized it, and there was a vague guess in his heart.
"Isn't that guy surnamed Mo awesome? Let him take the lead. No matter what he encounters or what he gets in the end, it doesn't matter. I can't run away even if my phantom is watching." The man surnamed Wu smiled coldly. , but then a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing four spiritual talismans. After handing one to the three of them respectively, he said again,
"It's time for us to set off. It just so happens that the four of us each choose a side entrance. No matter what we gain, it all depends on our own luck. We also try to save time and reunite here later to meet this Taoist named Mo. friend."
"Brother Wu is indeed unparalleled in resourcefulness. This arrangement is very appropriate, so we will take the first step." The other two people cupped their hands and immediately chose a stone door to enter.
"Let's go too." The monk surnamed Wu nodded and called to the man in green robe beside him to enter the remaining two side doors.
…
After the stone gate is a narrow passage, which is not very long, only a few dozen feet away to the end. There was no obstruction to the exit, and after crossing it, it suddenly became clear that it was a dense forest.
Mo Juren was slightly surprised. He thought it would lead to a palace or something, but he didn't expect to end up in the wild?
He did not move forward immediately, but carefully explored it. Sure enough, this dense forest is not simple. The forest is filled with colorful and strange mist, which becomes denser the deeper you go.
You don't need to think clearly, the mist must be carrying poison. And in the poisonous mist, there were constant rustling sounds, as if there were endless poisonous insects crawling.
"Interesting!" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. The environment here was similar to the Poisonous Swamp outside, but it was obviously worse.
It's not that he is afraid. With his strength, it is not difficult to enter it. He just continues to avoid poisons and insects. Anyway, I was well prepared for this trip, so there was nothing to worry about.
What's more, there is no need to go through the dense forest, you can just fly at high altitude.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately jumped into the sky. However, before he could fly forward, a strange scene happened. The dense forest below grew rapidly as he ascended, seemingly endless, always above him.
"This...formation!" Mo Juren was a little shocked. Obviously, this is an effect that can only be achieved by some kind of magic formation. However, I didn't notice any mana fluctuations just now, and when did I fall into the formation? Could it be the moment of stepping into the stone gate?
He immediately turned around and glanced behind him. Sure enough, there was no passage anywhere, and even the exit where he was standing before disappeared.
His heart suddenly trembled. It seemed that the situation was more troublesome than he expected. The only good thing is that when it falls to the ground again, the exit that originally disappeared also appears.
Seeing this, he just breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to worry about not being able to find the exit when he came back.
After thinking about it, a golden light suddenly flashed in his hand, and it turned out to be a gold-eating insect the size of a thumb. With a thought in his mind, the other party turned into a golden light and sank into the depths of the ground beneath his feet.
"I can sense some situations." But at this moment, Yin Yue's voice sounded in his mind, which made Mo Juren feel happy. The other party was not disturbed by the illusion array, which was a bit beyond his expectation. asked,
"you sure?"
"I can only faintly sense a special location, which feels bone-chillingly cold, but I can't be sure what it is."
"It's better to have a sense than to run around in confusion. You can show us the way and we will move forward immediately." Mo Juren made a decision immediately.
Yinyue didn't hesitate and immediately gave the hint.
After making some preparations, he headed straight towards the forest. Before taking a step, his eyes seemed to glance in the direction behind him inadvertently, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the next moment, he disappeared into the dense forest.
Soon, an illusory figure appeared at the entrance. After looking at the dense forest ahead for a moment, his brows furrowed.
Obviously, the harsh environment in the dense forest was somewhat unexpected, but it did not make him flinch. A layer of ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and his originally illusory body became more and more invisible, as if transparent.
The figure smiled, then turned into a transparent phantom and shot towards the forest.
"It's interesting." In the dense forest, Mo Juren, who was speeding forward, seemed to have noticed something, and his expression was startled. I thought that the harsh environment in the dense forest would make the other party retreat, but unexpectedly they followed him.
Sure enough, the monks have all kinds of strange methods, and you really can't underestimate anyone. Especially the one surnamed Wu, who was born in a powerful force and was a monk in the late stage of pill formation, must have his own uniqueness.
In fact, he noticed it after the strange shadow appeared behind him, and even vaguely guessed some of the other party's plans. He didn't care about this, and he was not in a hurry to deal with the other party, so he simply settled the matter.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he turned his attention to the surrounding dense forest. It has to be said that the further you go in, the more poisonous gas fills the air, and the protective aura around you is corroded and flickering.
This is a good thing. He is invulnerable to all poisons, and ordinary toxins can be completely ignored. Instead, he can directly swallow and refine it, improving his own physique.
The poisonous mist in the dense forest is naturally special. It is three times more intense than the colorful poisonous mist outside, exceeding the limit of the poison refining technique.
However, with the rich mana in his body and some poison-avoiding charms, he can last for a long time. Even during the process, some poisonous mist will be deliberately inhaled for refining, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Suddenly, he suddenly stopped. The illusory and transparent figure behind him, whether due to the influence of the illusory formation, was completely invisible at this moment.
He was just stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, but ignored it and continued to move forward. With Silver Moon's guidance, you won't get lost.
His speed was very fast, flying almost close to the ground, and soon he entered the depths of the dense forest. At this time, the surrounding poisonous mist has become increasingly dense, and there are countless poisonous insects surrounding it.
Not only did this make him take a breath of cold air, but with such an overwhelming swarm of various insects, most of them even had strong auras. If he really fell into it, even he might not be able to escape unscathed.
Fortunately, he had already used the Breath Condensation Technique to the extreme in advance, and his own mana and aura had almost completely disappeared, so he did not attract the attention of the poisonous insects.
It flew close to the ground for half an hour, until it flew out from the edge of the dense forest, and finally arrived at the destination indicated by Silver Moon.
The steps stopped and his eyes looked forward, and what he saw was a lake. The area is not large, only dozens of miles in radius, and there is an isolated island in the center of the lake, with a lonely bluestone hall built on it.
The moment he saw the main hall, Mo Juren couldn't help but look slightly happy, thinking that all the secrets should be in this stone hall. He was about to fly forward, but when he got close to the lake, he suddenly stopped.
He stretched out his hand and waved forward, and a group of lake water was instantly photographed in front of him. After careful observation, I discovered that the lake water was actually as black as ink, and it contained a strange cold aura. It was not an ordinary coldness, but a vague chill that penetrated the bones.
"What you just sensed was this lake?" Mo Juren asked, thinking of Yin Yue's reminder just now.
"Yes and no. To be precise, it should be in the center of the island, in the stone palace. There seems to be something there. The bone-chilling coldness is far more terrifying than the surrounding lake water."
"In the stone palace?" Mo Juren's heart moved, and then he let go of his consciousness and moved forward to explore. Sure enough, an abnormality was soon discovered. What was even weirder was that the Yinhan didn't seem to be a dead thing, but seemed to have intelligence.
With such a discovery, he was not only surprised, but also became more curious. Without any further hesitation, he immediately took up the Escape Light and flew forward rapidly.
The island is not large in size, but it is a bit strangely desolate. There is a layer of light black mist lingering on the ground, which is exactly the same as the cold atmosphere contained in the lake before.
Mo Juren observed carefully and found that the source of all the cold atmosphere was in the stone hall in the center.
He stepped forward and soon reached the front of the stone palace. The two doors, which are more than ten feet high, are tightly closed, with three simple large characters carved on the top.
"Nine Nether Palace"
Seeing this, Mo Juren was stunned.
These three words are not given casually. They are extraordinary enough to pioneer this place. I don’t know where they come from?
After looking carefully for a while, I found that there were no restrictions on the two stone doors. In this way, he directly raised his hand and pressed it on it, exerting force with one arm, and with a loud bang, the huge stone door was pushed straight inward by his terrifying power.
But at this moment, a thick black mist instantly filled the air, shrouding his entire body in it. The bone-chilling feeling seemed to be pervasive and rapidly penetrated into the body.
Seeing this, Mo Juren frowned, and a golden light flashed around his body, completely blocking out all the black mist. When the black fog gradually faded and his sight was no longer blocked, he stepped straight into the stone hall.
It was completely different from what he imagined. There was no gorgeous decoration inside, but it seemed extremely crude. Apart from a small pool about ten feet in diameter built in the central area, there is nothing special about it.
However, after taking a look around, Mo Juren's originally calm expression suddenly changed.
Not far from the pool, there was a black futon with a skeleton sitting cross-legged on it. Judging from the appearance of the undamaged dress, it should be a woman. Her slightly delicate hands are holding an unknown seal. She has obviously been dead for a long time.
Mo Juren's eyes couldn't help but look at the opponent's waist. There was a palm-sized black leather bag there, which was a storage bag. The use of this material and shape must have come from ancient times.
The treasure was close at hand, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he let go of his spiritual consciousness and continued to carefully explore the hall. After several times, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he reached out and took in the storage bag. In hand.
Looking at the bulging storage bag, he couldn't help but feel a little happy, and then he reached into his consciousness to check it.
As expected of an ancient monk, there are quite a lot of good things stored inside, including several ancient treasures of various types.
However, the largest number of them were various jade bottles of different colors and sizes, with hundreds of them in total. After inspection, it was found that they were all filled with refined elixirs.
Mo Juren couldn't help but guess that this woman was probably a master of alchemy. Otherwise, it would be impossible to carry such a large number of different types of elixirs with you.
Sure enough, after he checked the contents of the dozen or so jade slips inside, he could basically confirm that this woman had studied the alchemy path very deeply and had most likely reached the level of a master.
These jade slips are the inheritance left by the other party. They contain a large number of elixir recipes and alchemy techniques from ancient times, and their value is inestimable.
And through the information revealed between the lines in these jade slips, he also roughly understood the identity of the woman. She turned out to be a Nascent Soul stage elder from the Jiuyou Sect, one of the ten major sects of the Demonic Dao in the Great Jin Immortal Realm.
No wonder the main hall was named Jiuyou, it turned out to be this reason. The specific name of the other party is not known, but he has a title, called 'Xuanyou Fairy'. It seems that he was also a famous existence in ancient times.
As for why it appeared in Tiannan, it is unknown.
There is also a special jade slip inside, which is not some alchemy inheritance, but a detailed map. Not only the situation here is recorded, but also the places leading to the other four side doors are clearly recorded.
These four places actually lead to four medicine gardens respectively. Over such a long time, even the most common elixir must have grown to the level of more than ten thousand years. It is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless.
Mo Juren was naturally tempted, but he was not anxious at all, because he could not run away after all.
Instead, his eyes turned to the pool in the center. The jade slips clearly recorded that there was a strange elixir growing in the pool.
However, when he looked at the dark pool water, he didn't find anything. The spiritual consciousness penetrated into it, but it only penetrated to a distance of more than a hundred feet, and it was as if it was frozen by the extreme cold and could no longer move forward.
"No?" Mo Juren frowned, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
I had sensed it when I was outside. There was a cold, spiritual aura inside the stone palace, but why didn't I notice anything after entering?
There is nothing suspicious here except for the skeleton next to it that has been dead for an unknown number of years. If there is a real problem, it can only be the puddle in front of us.
