Li Qingfeng used both hands to dig and pull, pushing the soil under him aside.
As the soil continues to be pushed away, things buried deep beneath it are gradually revealed.
It was a toad-shaped puppet beast, its entire body made of ironwood that was over a century old. Its surface is pitted and pitted, with traces of corrosion, and a large crack in the middle. The crack is extremely uneven, and it doesn't look like it was chopped with a sharp instrument.
Ironwood is a type of spiritual wood commonly used in the world of immortality. This kind of spiritual wood is easy to plant, has a short growth cycle, is hard in texture and not easy to decay, and is very easy to maintain. It is deeply loved by ordinary monks in the world of immortality. It is often used in the refining of magic weapons and puppet beasts. Even some spiritual weapons or high-level puppet beasts use high-aged ironwood as the main material.
There was a puppet beast here, which Li Qingfeng did not expect.
Have any monks ever fought here?
He thought for a moment, dropped the ironwood toad first, and crawled through the hole in its head. Looking back, looking at it from this angle, the only remaining eyeball of the ironwood toad is staring here. Paired with the turbid water, it's really a bit of a scary atmosphere.
After getting through the puppet toad, the passage in front became wider and wider. Li Qingfeng swam forward for half a cup of tea, but there was no way ahead. Looking up, I can see something moving - the water.
He slowly rose up and surfaced without making a sound. He looked around with his consciousness and saw that there was no living thing around. Only then did he surface completely, took a few breaths and looked around.
This is another cave. There are also many stone pillars hanging from the top of the cave, and yellow-green vines are coiled on them. On Li Qingfeng's right hand side, there is a stone protruding out of the water, which is the only place to stay in this pool.
Li Qingfeng looked around and made sure there was no danger here, then he fell back into the water. He was going to take out the ironwood toad.
Down, left, down, and forward. Li Qingfeng swam back, feeling quite familiar with the road. Soon, he found the location of the toad puppet.
He hugged the toad puppet with both hands and found a suitable point to exert force. Li Qingfeng pulled hard and the puppet did not move at all. He followed the puppet down, and sure enough, half of the toad puppet's body was buried in the rocks.
He stretched out his hand to release the ice pick technique, which was particularly effective when placed in water. As soon as Li Qingfeng raised his hand, the ice pick pierced the water flow, and half of his body penetrated into the joint between the stone and the toad puppet.
Perhaps because of the constant impact of water flow, the rocks here are not very hard. Under Li Qingfeng's operations, the earth and rocks under the toad puppet were gradually pried open and smashed. Slowly, the entire body of the toad puppet was gradually revealed.
Li Qingfeng pushed with his hand, and the toad puppet moved. He continued to dig at the rocks underneath, and even took out the Water Element Shield to pry it off. He looked like a hard worker in mining, without any trace of the demeanor of an immortal cultivator.
Halfway through digging, he swam back to the surface to take a breath. The water repellent spell can only create a cover around him and hold a certain amount of air, but it cannot allow him to breathe in the water. Although there is such a technique in "Ruoshui Jue", it consumes too much spiritual energy to maintain it with his current cultivation level. He still had to save his spiritual energy to deal with the monsters hiding somewhere. Although it was a little troublesome to breathe again and again, Li Qingfeng was not in a hurry. He's not afraid of trouble. The monster hasn't appeared yet, so it's not a bad thing to have more spiritual power.
After several trips, Li Qingfeng finally dug out the toad puppet completely from the earth and rocks. I didn't feel it when it was buried underneath, but looking at it this way, the puppet beast is not small. Li Qingfeng glanced up and down and discovered that the ironwood toad was nearly a person tall and more than six feet long. It was covered in iron black and was covered with dents and cracks.
With a wave of his hand, he put the ironwood toad into his storage bag and swam towards the newly discovered cave - he couldn't drag it out. After half a cup of tea, he emerged from the water, took a few breaths, climbed up to the small island in the pool, and released the toad puppet.
This puppet beast was from a long time ago. As a casual cultivator in his previous life, Li Qingfeng knew very well about common materials like ironwood. The iron wood on the toad puppet beast is more than a hundred years old. This kind of iron wood is mostly used by monks in the foundation building stage to refine spiritual weapons and puppets. From this, it can be seen that this puppet beast most likely once belonged to a monk in the foundation building stage. He is also a puppet beast in the foundation building stage.
The century-old ironwood is very wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, but there are signs of decay here. Li Qingfeng speculated that this puppet beast had been soaked here for at least fifty years. If we look at the history of the world of immortality here, it is very likely that it was a product of the war between humans and demons more than a hundred years ago.
It has been half a month since I came back from Fangshi. In the past half month, apart from practicing daily to heal his injuries and reviewing his knowledge of formations, Li Qingfeng spent most of his time reading the miscellaneous books he bought from the market. And by reading those miscellaneous books, he finally got a rough idea of the situation in the world of immortality here.
The world of cultivating immortals here is called the world of immortality.
There is a poem from the ancients that goes: "On the thirty-three days of the sky, there are gods above the white clouds. Gods are made by mortals, but they are afraid that mortals' hearts are not strong." In the world of immortality, look for immortality. In this world, all humans, whether they are mountains, rocks, vegetation, animals, birds, or spirits, can become immortals through cultivation.
But at the same time, there is a poem from the ancients: "Immortals have immortal bones, and they also have immortal fate. Bones cannot be replaced by medicine, and fate cannot be formed by good love." This refers to whether a person has spiritual roots. The great road is ruthless, and people without the "immortal bones" as the ancients called them cannot cultivate immortality. It is said that there are similar restrictions to humans when it comes to beasts turning into demons and rocks turning into spirits.
It is said that humans in this area came from the sea to the west. Therefore, the monks in this world call that sea the Immortal Sea, which is the sea where humans in this world originated. However, there are countless monsters in the sea, and the risks are extremely high, making it unsuitable for human survival. Therefore, the ancient monks from the Immortal Realm set foot on the mainland all the way east, and then took root and settled on the mainland.
This continent is also called the Immortal Continent. The book states that it is very broad and boundless. Before the human monks landed on the mainland, the Xianyuan Continent was ruled by monsters and there was no human habitation at all. At that time, in order to obtain a place to stay on the Immortal Continent, the ancient monks started a centuries-long war with the demonic cultivators and monsters on the continent.
According to the records in the book, this war was called the Battle of the First Yuan Dynasty, symbolizing the first time humans set foot on the Immortal Continent.
After hundreds of years of fighting, the ancient human monks who were born in the Immortal Sea finally defeated the monsters on the mainland, successfully won a place on the mainland, and called that land Tianxingzhou. It is said that it is also the most prosperous land under human control in the entire Immortal World. There are six major sects on it, all founded by ancient monks.
