A burst of white light flashed by, and when I came back to my senses again, what I saw turned out to be an open-air high platform. It was small in area, only more than ten feet long and wide. The ground was paved with neat white jade stones, which exuded a faint shimmer from time to time.
The entire open-air platform is located in a huge valley, and the surrounding forest is as deep as the sea and lush, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.
There are not only dense forests in the valley, but also the existence of countless formations, which greatly interferes with the monks' spiritual consciousness and makes it difficult to detect too far.
Even Mo Juren was no exception, but he had obtained detailed information about the interior of Talisman Burial Valley from Dongmen Tu in advance, so he naturally understood what was going on.
These formations are derived from those talisman masters of the past generations. Each one will make some arrangements with the help of the sect before sitting down. If you want to truly obtain the inheritance, you must pass their test.
"You all should be familiar with the situation in Talisman Burial Valley, so I won't go into details. There are no restrictions here. Everything can only rely on one's own opportunities and talents..." Xie Yuan gave a few instructions to the ten young Talisman Masters. sentence, and then said,
"Okay, time is limited, so you can set off immediately. Remember, you must not go deep into the valley, otherwise you will encounter unforeseen dangers. In addition, each person can stay in the valley for up to three months, so you can't miss it either. "
As soon as the words fell, everyone stopped delaying and each chose different directions to dive into the surrounding dense forest. In the blink of an eye, there was no trace left.
At this time, there were only three Danjie elders left in the square. Xie Yuan was the first to say goodbye and leave, while Elder Han did not move and turned to look at Mo Juren beside him.
"This time I entered the Talisman Burial Valley, firstly to find some opportunities, and secondly, to be entrusted by the elders of the East Gate to handle some matters, so I can't go with you all the time." Mo Juren did not hide anything and explained immediately.
"Handling things?" Mr. Han's expression changed and he immediately reacted,
"But what happened seventy years ago? Is it possible that it was not dealt with thoroughly at that time and there are still hidden dangers?"
"Theoretically there is no problem, but just in case, it's better to check it again." Mo Juren shook his head slightly.
"That thing is not simple. When there was such a big disturbance, four Yuan Ying stage elders were dispatched to calm it down. If there is another problem, will it be too dangerous for you to go there alone?" Elder Han was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I know it well." Mo Juren didn't explain much, just comforted the other party with a smile.
"Okay, but be careful in everything." The other party was so confident that Elder Han couldn't persuade him any more, so he could only tell him again, and then left. Although he is the leader, as a Talisman Master, he naturally covets the inheritance in the valley, and the opportunity cannot be missed.
After the other party's figure disappeared into the dense forest, Mo Juren did not act immediately. Instead, he used his hand and a jade slip appeared.
This is the detailed information in the Burial Talisman Valley, and the map is naturally there. The location of the task he needs to handle is clearly marked on the map. It is nowhere else but the deepest part of the valley.
After checking it carefully and confirming that there was nothing wrong, he put the jade slip away directly, and then the light flashed and flew away in a certain direction.
The entire valley is extremely huge. According to records, its width reaches dozens of miles, but its depth is as much as seven hundred miles.
This distance was nothing to Mo Juren, and he didn't intend to stop in the middle to look for opportunities, so he flew to his destination not long after.
Looking down, what he saw was no longer a dense forest, but a stretch of barren mountains. There were more than thirty of them, ranging in height from tens to hundreds of feet, and each one was completely bare. Not a hint of green.
But Mo Juren knew very well that this was the real core area of the Talisman Burial Valley. The top Talisman Taoist masters, including the legendary Talisman Saint 'Tianmiao Zhenren', all rested in this stretch of barren mountains. among.
The inheritance of Talisman Burial Valley is quite special. Chance is only one of them. What really plays a decisive role is talent. Otherwise, even if you encounter a certain Talisman Master's place of incarnation, you will only be happy if you fail to pass the test.
It is precisely for this reason that every time the Talisman Masters enter the valley, they only look for inheritance in the outer area, that is, in the dense forest, but few people go straight here.
It's not that I don't want to, but it's useless even if I come. The tests left by those Fu Dao masters and even Master Tianmiao are too abnormal and cannot be broken by ordinary people.
Naturally, there are lucky Talisman masters, but unfortunately, no one has ever succeeded. They all just wasted precious time, and finally returned to the outer area in despair.
Mo Juren is naturally self-aware. He is known outside as a genius of Fu Dao who is rarely seen in a thousand years, but he has too much water. His own talent in the talisman field can only be considered good, and cannot be compared with genius.
Of course, with his good talent and continuous study over the years, he is now quite accomplished in Fulu, which is not worse than those Fudao masters.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he looked carefully at the barren mountain area below for a while. He seemed to suddenly find something, and then the light flashed and flew down towards a certain valley at high speed.
At the bottom of the valley, on a raised boulder somewhere.
At this moment, Mo Juren was standing still, looking somewhere ahead. There was a huge deep pool with a diameter of tens of feet. The water in the pool was dark green, giving people a bottomless feeling.
Four thick stone pillars about ten feet high were built in four directions around the pool. They were densely covered with spiritual patterns, forming a powerful formation.
"The Jueling Pond, the Four Elephants Evil-killing Formation, should be here!" Mo Juren murmured, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a special token flashing with golden light appeared.
Looking at the token, he couldn't help but think of the chaos in the past.
The pool in front of you is called the "Jue Ling Pond". As the name suggests, the pool contains the weird "Jue Ling Water". Any treasures related to spiritual energy or monks will lose their spiritual power in an instant once they fall into it. lose.
How could the many seniors of the Yuling Sect not be interested in such a strange water pool? Naturally, a lot of time and energy was spent on research.
Unfortunately, apart from knowing the terrifying power of the magical water, there is nothing to gain. What's even more special is that the magical water cannot be preserved. Once it leaves the pool for more than a quarter of an hour, it will lose all its effectiveness and turn into pure ordinary pool water.
There is no way around it, because no monks, spiritual beasts, magic weapons, etc. dare to be tainted by the existence of the magical water, let alone go deep into it. Naturally, it is impossible to really investigate anything.
Fortunately, this pool is just a special pool, and nothing unusual or even dangerous has ever occurred. In the end, the investigation could only be dropped.
In this way, thousands or tens of thousands of years have passed by in a flash, and Jueling Pond is still sitting here quietly without any change.
It wasn't until the Talisman Burial Valley opened more than seventy years ago that a group of young Talisman Masters entered the valley. One of them was too confident and went straight into the barren mountain area.
However, before he could find the Fu Dao Grandmaster's inheritance, he was suddenly alarmed by the changes in the Jueling Pond. A huge figure suddenly flew out of the pool of water. It turned out to be a mysterious giant turtle, and Fang swallowed it up as soon as it appeared.
Although the talisman master used the talisman for help before he died, the speed of the giant turtle was too fast and could not wait for rescue, and in the end he could only suffer from hatred.
The giant turtle had just come out of seclusion and was hungry. He sensed the presence of other monks, so he naturally wanted to eat to his heart's content, especially the two elders in the alchemy stage, which made him salivate.
As a result, it walked towards the crowd at high speed.
Because of the help talisman, the two pill-forming elders naturally paid great attention to it, and immediately rushed towards the direction from which the talisman flew. Unexpectedly, they met a giant turtle just halfway through the flight.
Without saying anything, the two sides immediately started a brutal fight.
It was only then that the two discovered something unusual. The giant tortoise was not a living thing, but a corpse tortoise that had been dead for an unknown number of years and then reborn with a new consciousness by chance.
Although I don’t know how long he has been practicing, the majestic corpse energy emanating from his body is enough to show how terrifying he is. The two elders who reacted instantly were all dead. They dared not fight, so they could only escape as fast as possible, and immediately activated the token to attack The sect's supreme elder conveyed a message for help.
Fortunately, this is the headquarters of the Yuling Sect, and there are not too many strong people. After receiving the call for help, four Yuanying stage elders arrived in time.
Although the corpse turtle is powerful, it may even reach the ten thousand year level. If it is just one-on-one, the ordinary Yuan Ying early stage monks are definitely no match for it.
It's a pity that the place where it was born was poorly chosen. Facing four strong men in the Nascent Soul stage, the leader of which was Dongmen Tu in the middle Nascent Soul stage, it was naturally difficult for him to beat four hands with two fists, and he was quickly defeated. They were defeated steadily.
In panic, he could only choose to escape. As long as he could get back the Jueling Pond, even the powerful ones in the transformation stage could do nothing to him. However, how could it hide this idea from several Nascent Soul stage elders, who had already blocked all directions in unison.
The Corpse Turtle had no choice but to forcefully accept the challenge and use its strongest defense to its maximum. Unfortunately, the strength gap between the two sides was too great, and the outcome was still extremely miserable. The four Nascent Soul elders jointly beat the turtle shell into pieces and the body collapsed.
Seeing that he was about to completely lose his soul, he never thought that when he was on the verge of death, the corpse turtle would activate its potential again. The soul took the corpse pill and escaped at a high speed, and finally escaped back to the Jueling Pond.
Such a result made the four Nascent Soul elders look at each other in disbelief. This turtle was not only powerful, but also cunning. He was able to find a flaw to escape in such a desperate situation.
Although the four of them were depressed, they had no choice but to set up a 'Four Elephants Evil Killing Formation' near the Jueling Pond to prevent other incidents from happening again.
The impact of this battle was not small. Not only were the formations left by the Talisman Masters of the past generations damaged to varying degrees, but the entire forbidden formation outside the Talisman Burial Valley was also affected.
Those are all formations left over from ancient times, and many of them have been lost by now. Such a loss is not insignificant. Even if the Ten Thousand Years Corpse Turtle is rich in treasures, it will still be far from being able to make up for it.
In desperation, the sect could only retrieve some of the sealed data that had not been lost, and then gathered all the formation masters to work together, spending a lot of time and energy to repair the damaged formations one after another.
This process lasted for more than sixty years and was not completed until a few years ago. Even so, it is still incomparable to the original formation.
Mo Juren came here this time because he was entrusted by Dongmen Tu to conduct a careful inspection of Jueling Pond. After all, although the body of the ten-thousand-year-old corpse turtle collapsed, it escaped with its soul and even retained its corpse elixir.
Under such circumstances, there is a high probability that it is impossible to die, and there will definitely be a comeback in the future. Even now, once it is allowed to escape, it will still be a great threat to low-level monks.
Flying down the boulder, holding the token, he gradually approached Jueling Pond, and did not stop until he reached a stone pillar. He looked carefully at the surface of the stone pillar for a while, then pointed at the token, and a spiritual light suddenly shot to a certain location within it.
In an instant, the stone pillar began to vibrate slightly, followed by the second, third, and fourth pillar. At the same time, a transparent light curtain suddenly appeared over the pool, with countless dense golden spiritual patterns flashing alternately on it.
This is naturally the restriction formed by the formation. It has been in a hidden state before, but now it is directly activated by the token, revealing its true face.
Mo Juren carefully sensed it for a moment, and then nodded slightly after making sure that the formation was functioning properly. Immediately afterwards, he continued to move forward with the token in hand, and in the next moment he passed directly through the light curtain and entered the formation.
Standing at the edge of the pool, he just now truly felt the strangeness of the Jueling Pool. Although there was no contact at all, the suffocating feeling of being barred from all spiritual energy was already coming to my face.
The water in the pool had no effect on his consciousness, allowing him to penetrate very deep easily. The depth was much higher than he expected, and he couldn't see the bottom at all. As for the soul and corpse elixir of the ten-thousand-year-old corpse turtle, he couldn't sense it at all.
Fortunately, he was not unprepared. In order to investigate the situation of the corpse turtle, a certain elder within the sect specially refined a magic weapon, called the 'Blood Moon Mirror', which is a kind of imaging tracking through the power of blood. of strange treasures.
The theoretical tracking distance of this mirror can reach three hundred miles, and Jueling Pond obviously cannot have such a depth. If the soul of the ten-thousand-year-old corpse turtle is still there, he will definitely not be able to escape his pursuit even if there is interference from the pond.
Without further ado, he flipped his palm again, and a small crimson mirror the size of a palm appeared with a slightly rustic style. Immediately afterwards, a small jade bottle about an inch tall appeared in his hand again. After opening it, a strong smell of blood hit his face, which was even mixed with the smell of corpse.
Mo Juren automatically blocked his breathing and poured out all the corpse blood in the jade bottle on the mirror. At the same time, he muttered words in his mouth, and the mirror lit up with a layer of blood light, and in the blink of an eye, all the corpse blood was poured out. Absorbed completely.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and continued to recite the magic formula. Something magical happened. The originally empty and even slightly rough mirror surface suddenly began to change and became extremely clear.
