The cave is quiet, and because it is inside the mountain, it is extremely cool.
Mr. Crab looked at Xu Yue blankly, not understanding what just happened.
The black skin on the ground is the terrifying demonic figure from before?
Already killed?
In front, after Xu Yue killed the demonic shadow with one blow, he sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. Looking at that appearance, he seemed to be comprehending something.
Mr. Crab didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to stand there and wait for Xu Yue to wake up.
Not long after, Xu Yue was suddenly shrouded in a hazy golden light, accompanied by a faint spiritual power, as if a god descended into the mortal world, and was extremely peaceful in this dark cave.
Finally, the golden light and spiritual power merged and condensed into a dancing golden thread, all restrained in the center of Xu Yue's eyebrows, completely natural, extraordinary and holy.
Xu Yue opened his eyes and looked at the dimming golden light on his body, with a happy smile on his face.
"Xuan'er has already left everything to me."
Xu Yue's consciousness stared at a scripture in his mind, with an expression of shame and emotion.
Just now, the trick he used to kill the demonic shadow was one of the important gains from this battle at Yidi Mountain - Di Lin.
As the last form of the Three Emperors Technique, Emperor Lin has unparalleled destructive and suppressive power. Just like what he did just now, Xu Yue didn't even use his full strength to use this technique, it was enough to cross the realm and kill the demonic shadow instantly.
And with just such a blow, the spiritual power that Xu Yue had finally recovered in his body was gone.
The consumption of Di Lin was terrifying.
But these, at most, surprised Xu Yue, but could not make him sigh.
What really made Xu Yue's mood fluctuate was this scripture that appeared in his mind after Emperor Lin disappeared.
Emperor Sutra!
The most complete inheritance of Yidi Mountain!
If the Imperial Technique is only the attack technique of Yi Di Mountain, then the Imperial Sutra also contains methods of cultivation, which can be called the foundation of a sect.
Xu Yue looked at the obscure characters one by one, his eyes reflected the golden light, and he understood everything.
It turns out that as early as a hundred years ago, when Mu Chuxuan handed over the Three Emperors Technique to herself, the Emperor's Scripture was also attached to it and given as a gift.
It wasn't until Xu Yue realized Emperor's Coming in the battle with Zong Qing not long ago that this precious scripture was fully inspired and emerged in his mind.
"They say that I, Xu Yue, have taken care of you a lot, but who knows, without you, I would have been unable to move forward."
The golden light in his eyes dissipated, and Xu Yue's consciousness returned to the cave. He sighed and stood up.
"Are you okay?"
Mr. Crab's frustrated voice came from the side. Xu Yue looked over and saw the man lying weakly in the corner of the cave with a look of despair.
"Son, I am strong as a father, so I won't die that easily."
Xu Yue glanced at it, ignored it, took two steps forward, squatted down, looked at the lifeless shadow on the ground, and frowned.
"Not a monster."
Xu Yue's fingers glowed with spiritual light, feeling the special touch and whispering slightly.
There is no kind of monster that is neither human nor ghost, neither god nor beast.
"But it has a complete mind and is definitely not a remnant soul or a ghost."
Xu Yue pinched his chin. After thinking for a long time, without any clue, he picked up the human-skin-like demonic figure and threw it into the storage bag.
"Let's go." Xu Yue turned around and glanced.
"Huh? I think it's pretty good here..." Mr. Krabs looked scared.
Seeing this, Xu Yue grinned, stretched out his hand to grab, and a thread of cause and effect flew out, entangled Mr. Crab, and walked out of the cave entrance.
"This thing is in the early stage of the Condensed Realm, but it can move freely here, so it must not be affected by the power of the barrier. In other words, it did not come in through regular channels."
Xu Yue walked in the dark cave, thinking, grabbing the causal thread wrapped around Mr. Crab with one hand, and swinging it around like a yo-yo.
"But if there is no token, how can it get in here? Could it be that it is really a secret realm creature?"
While Xu Yue was thinking in his mind, Mr. Crab's screams kept coming to his ears. Unknowingly, he had walked past the snake's body and reappeared at the cave exit.
It's still dark outside, but the passage of time here seems to be a little different. There is already a faint white fish belly appearing on the horizon, and it should be dawn soon.
Xu Yue faced the mountain wind and paused for a moment, then jumped high in the face of Mr. Crab's frightened look, and appeared thousands of feet high in the sky in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, before Mr. Crab could recover, the flow of spiritual energy in his body immediately stagnated, and his whole body began to fall rapidly toward the ground.
"Ahhhh!!"
An extremely strong feeling of weightlessness came, which was undoubtedly fatal to the crab that was afraid of heights.
During this period, it shut down its consciousness three times and fainted, but was forcibly awakened by Xu Yue's methods and suffered a lot of torture.
And when it opened its eyes for the last time, there was a bottomless lake in front of it.
boom!
Xu Yue fell in like a meteorite and returned to the happy home of the water monster and Mr. Crab.
As soon as it entered the lake, the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared. The Duobao crab, which had long been accustomed to living in the water, finally took a breath and looked at Xu Yue with a disheveled expression, daring to be angry but afraid to speak.
"I will take you flying this time. Next time, I will seal your spiritual power and throw you outside the territory."
Xu Yue threatened, Mr. Crab seemed to think of the endless outside world, and suddenly looked defeated.
Xu Yue glanced at it, snorted coldly, and regarded it as a small punishment. After scanning the surroundings, he slowly swam away.
There were constant undercurrents at the bottom of the lake, but under the control of spiritual power, it was as peaceful as a swimming pool.
"It's nice here."
After a while, Xu Yue swam to a deeper trench, nodded with satisfaction, and went all the way down to the darkness in the deepest part of the trench.
"What do you want to do?"
Mr. Crab also recovered at this time and followed him obediently.
"Of course it's time to study the trophies."
Xu Yue smiled and slowly took out a finger-sized spiritual grass from his arms.
The first treasure obtained in the secret realm, ambergris grass.
"Let me see what secret this is."
Xu Yue's fingers glowed with aura, and he grabbed the ambergris grass. The soft power crushed it into pieces of pure medicine residue, and then ignited a touch of flexibility and began to slowly refine it.
"Boring." Mr. Krabs glanced at it and said boredly.
It just wants to hunt for treasures and has no interest in refining treasures.
"If you don't want to stay here, you can walk around, but my power of cause and effect covers the entire lake, and you can't move outside the lake." Xu Yue said with a smile.
"I know! Why don't I go swimming!" Mr. Crab looked impatient, and soon disappeared from Xu Yue's eyes, and swam to the lake to blow bubbles.
"Hmph, it seems like it must be a little thing."
Xu Yue shook his head, then withdrew his gaze and concentrated on refining the ambergris spirit grass in his hand.
The people of Yidi Mountain once said that the first ten people to leave the secret realm can win the qualifications for the Emperor's Sacrifice.
But there is no clear explanation as to how it happened.
Xu Yue felt that the secret should be in this spiritual object guarded by the monster.
call out!
At a certain moment, the ambergris finally couldn't withstand the long-term burning of the spiritual fire and turned into a drop of green liquid, as transparent as amber, which Xu Yue swallowed in one gulp.
Suddenly, powerful power traveled through his limbs along his meridians. Xu Yue felt that most of his previously deficient spiritual power had been restored in an instant, and his whole person became extremely energetic, and his fatigue was gone.
Moreover, after refining the ambergris spirit grass, in addition to the pure medicinal power, a map also suddenly appeared in Xu Yue's mind.
"Huh? Is this the exit of the secret realm?" Xu Yue looked at the blurry map with surprise on his face.
But after observing it for a long time, he always felt that something was wrong with this picture. It didn't seem to describe this area.
Gradually, the medicinal power of ambergris began to decline from strength to strength, and the map in Xu Yue's mind slowly faded away like a foggy shadow in a mirror.
"Can this still happen?"
Xu Yue thought for a while, and then took out a small purple flower from the storage bag. It was the second treasure found in the lake, the Purple Ninghua.
But it was a pity that until Xu Yue refined all the Purple Ninghua, except for the majestic medicinal power, the map marking the exit of the secret realm did not appear again.
"Is it because this thing was not placed by Yidi Mountain, so it is not subject to that kind of prohibitive power?"
Xu Yue guessed that he probably understood the rules of the game. Without saying anything, he took out the mysterious purple thunderwood obtained in the mangrove, chopped it into several pieces with one palm, and began to refine it.
But this time, the purple thunderwood guarded by three crocodiles really worked. While continuously transmitting the power of thunder to Xu Yue, a map that was clearer than before also appeared again.
"No, this really doesn't seem to be this area, it's not even in the same boundary!" Xu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and after using his spiritual power to explore the map, he got some information.
That is the reminder left by Yidi Mountain, and it must be stimulated with enough restraining power to come out.
Soon, Zi Leimu's spiritual power was exhausted, and the map began to fade rapidly.
"Come again!"
Xu Yue gritted his teeth and without hesitation took out the last treasure, the earth-level spiritual treasure that he had just obtained from the cave not long ago - the Ice and Snow Jade Toad.
Click.
As soon as the Ice and Snow Jade Toad was born, some ice scum emerged from the bottom of the trench, affected by the terrifying low temperature.
Xu Yue didn't waste any time. After using his spiritual power, his hands became extremely red. Waves of Yang Yan's power spread out. He held the toad-shaped ice jade and began to dissolve and refine it.
Gradually, Xu Yue's body became cold and hot, red and blue, and the spiritual power formed small vortexes around him, rotating on their own.
That is the embodiment of the energy contained in these treasures. After all, they are not only used to provide information about the secret realm. The pure spiritual power is also an important help for Xu Yue on the road of cultivation.
Finally, relying on the powerful spiritual power of the Ice and Snow Jade Toad, an earth-level spiritual treasure, the map was completely presented before his eyes, and he fully grasped the information hidden on it.
Afterwards, Xu Yue couldn't help but scold his mother.
"Such a trap!"
Xu Yue looked at the map with mountains, rivers and rivers, and his expression was extremely ugly.
Indeed, there is a map now, and the exits are clearly marked, but the problem is that the place depicted on the map is not here at all!
In order to encourage his disciples to break through, Yidi Mountain set a rule.
That is the map that all disciples get after refining spiritual objects. They will not be nearby, but far away in other areas that are a small level higher than themselves!
For example, if you are in the late stage of Yuanxinjing, the map you get will only depict areas that can only be entered and exited by those at the peak of Yuanxinjing.
There must be monsters that are a little higher than yourself, and the fellow competitors in the trial are also a huge threat.
This will force the disciples to break through themselves, and only after they improve their realm can they be confident enough to venture into that dangerous place and leave the secret realm.
But in this case, Xu Yue would be miserable.
Even if others advance to a small level, they are still in the same large area.
What about him?
"I am now at the peak of the Yuanxin Realm. I have raised a small level to the Spiritual Separation Realm! That is not within the current realm at all!"
Xu Yue howled, now he also knew that the secret exits marked on the map were all located in the trial area where the disciples of the Spiritual Realm were located.
And if you want to pass, you must break through and be led by the power of the barrier!
Xu Yue was speechless. After calming down, the golden scripture appeared in his mind.
The realm of metamorphosis and the realm of solidifying spirits are the original true solutions he cultivated.
Yuan Xinjing did not cultivate spiritual power, but he still refined Pangu's heart.
Now, the spirit-splitting realm is approaching, and this Emperor's Scripture of Yidi Mountain is placed in front of him.
"The Yuanxin state gathers the power of the whole body to temper the heart, while the spirit-splitting state does the opposite, stimulating the power of the heart, distributing the pure power within it to the whole body, and feeding back the flesh, blood, muscles and bones. This is the spirit-splitting... Emperor Sutra Cultivation Technique, Golden light is an intangible substance and is extremely suitable for penetrating into any inch of flesh and blood. It is simply the only secret method for cultivating the spirit-splitting realm! Could it be that all of this is God's will?"
Xu Yue murmured, then followed the guidance of the Emperor's Scripture and slowly closed his eyes.
There was silence in the trench, which made Mr. Krabs, who was sunbathing on the lake, slightly suspicious.
Until a moment later, a burst of golden light shone, and the majestic spiritual power soared into the sky, like a beam of light, shattering the darkness above the lake.
"Eh? Is he going to do it?"
Mr. Krabs was surprised and immediately sank into the water and swam away.
However, before he could reach it, the golden light had disappeared, and even Xu Yue's breath was so slight that he could no longer detect it.
Mr. Crab looked serious and sped up. In the end, his magical instinct came into play. Following his footsteps, he found Xu Yue, who had completely hidden his aura deep in the trench.
"Are you about to break through? There is a formation nearby. Are you afraid of being attacked by others?"
Mr. Crab looked at the motionless Xu Yue and was slightly surprised.
Although it couldn't attack, its realm and knowledge were there. It could be seen at a glance that Xu Yue's current state was not right and he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
"With this kind of aura, I'm afraid that after the breakthrough, it will become an even bigger monster... Then, won't it be more difficult for me to escape from the clutches?" Mr. Crab said to himself, as if he saw the hazy golden Xu Yue sneering at him.
Then, it shuddered, and with an uneasy mood, it floated to the surface of the lake again, intending to find a way out.
