I don't know how much time passed, but the three of them could no longer feel the passage of time in the stone chamber that was completely isolated from the outside world. However, they still didn't find any mechanism in the stone chamber that could open the closed door behind them. . The will pressure in the stone room has always been huge. They couldn't mobilize all their abilities, not to mention that Dugu Huntian had already tried.
The strength of that gate has far exceeded their attack level.
When he was at a loss, Dugu Huntian began to regret. He regretted that in order to fulfill his wish, he had put Xiao He and Dugu Yixue into such a desperate situation. Although there was no danger here, if they could never get out, what was still waiting for them would be Death, however, none of them wanted to die here. Dugu Yixue's will gradually gave up and she sat aside blankly. Dugu Huntian never gave up searching. He thought in his heart that since this is a restriction left by the sages, always There is some way to open it, but this method may be very clever, and he didn't discover it for a while.
However, no matter how hard Dugu Huntian tried, they could not find even a single clue left by this sage, let alone the imaginary remaining consciousness of the sage to guide them in the direction.
But Xiao He became more and more calm. He observed the giant Buddha in front of him, thoughtfully.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Dugu Huntian noticed Xiao He who had been staring at the Buddha and thinking, and asked.
Xiao He was still thinking and said slowly: "I always feel very familiar with the energy around this giant Buddha."
After hearing this, Dugu Huntian showed a hint of surprise and asked, "Brother, is there a way to crack it?"
Xiao He opened his mouth and replied: "I looked at the holy light of this giant Buddha, towering above the sky and covering the entire Dazhi Mountain. If my guess is correct, the source of the magic power of this stone chamber should be the holy light around this giant Buddha, and this energy , I seem to recognize it again.”
After Xiao He finished speaking, before Dugu Huntian could speak, he took out the wine gourd with a thought in his mind. He tossed it lightly with his right hand, and the wine gourd floated in the air. As expected by Xiao He, the wine gourd and the holy light around the Buddha A clever connection was immediately formed, and Dugu Huntian was once again surprised and said: "Brother, your magical weapon is really wonderful. The energy around the Buddha statue seems to be absorbed by it!"
Xiao He smiled and replied: "Brother, please protect me!"
Dugu Huntian nodded, Xiao He thought again, and his spiritual consciousness entered the inside of the wine gourd, and appeared in the endless space inside the wine gourd again. Xiao He realized for the first time that he had control over the unknown magic power inside the wine gourd. The elements seemed not so strange anymore, and Xiao He could almost slowly sense the boundaries of the space inside the wine gourd. The huge and hard light wall that his consciousness could detect before seemed to be closer to him now.
With the cultivation of the three realms, Xiao He had stayed inside the wine gourd for a year, and only spent one day and one night outside.
Once again, Xiao He sat cross-legged and breathed in the void. Finally, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to be able to begin to absorb the golden energy inside the wine gourd.
However, when new energy entered the body, although Xiao He did not feel the body's rejection of this energy, within his Dantian, the energy contained in the natural Tao method was enveloping the four elements of ice, fire, wind, and earth. This energy began to confront the newly entered mana.
When the mana collided, Xiao He gritted his teeth and endured the pain like muscle tearing from every part of his body.
After concentrating and calming down, the teachings from Master Tianyanzi seemed to reappear in my ears: "The universe is infinite and Tai Chi. Chaos cannot be separated, Yin and Yang are not separated, and there are two rites, so Tai Chi."
Finally, Xiao He's Dantian gradually formed the Yin and Yang poles under the continuous operation of natural Taoism, rotating and harmonizing. The four attribute mana in Xiao He's body finally slowly subsided, and the severe pain faded away. With the addition of new mana elements, Xiao He's body The severe pain gradually faded away, replaced by a very gentle energy.
Xiao He didn't know that just as he was drinking tea, Dugu Huntian and Dugu Yixue, his protectors, were really startled. He had a pained expression, raised his head and roared, and his clothes were almost completely soaked with sweat. , Dugu Huntian was very worried, but did not dare to stop Xiao He rashly, so they had to wait slowly. Finally, Xiao He's body gradually recovered and the strangeness disappeared, and they were relieved.
Xiao He, on the other hand, continued to fall into a long and repeated cycle of seclusion and practice.
Dugu Huntian and Dugu Yixue, who are their guardians, also meditate and regulate their breathing in place. Although the energy here cannot be used by them, it does not affect their own cultivation. The difference is just the speed of the effect. In such an absolutely closed environment, perhaps the only advantage is that the retreat is very safe.
Xiao He has been in seclusion and is completely unaware of everything in the outside world. As time goes by, the magic power in the wine gourd is absorbed by him. In the outside world, the magic power around the Buddha is also absorbed by the wine gourd. This cycle repeats without end.
Although the three of them are trapped here at this time, they are all practicing in seclusion, so they are safe. What the three people don't know is that in the eastern part of the continent, war has spread everywhere, and the thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands have become chaotic.
In fact, the relationship between the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens and the Shadow Alliance has been very mysterious since the emergence of the Shadow Alliance. Although everyone felt that an inevitable war was about to break out, they still maintained a relative balance under the caution of everyone. , the war really broke out when the bell ghosts from Nankui Cave went to Jian'an Cave to snatch the Yuquan Crystal and failed.
That day, Jian'an Dongtian showed his Shennong bloodline for the first time, catching Nankui Dongtian off guard. As a result, the sect leader Zhong Gui had to remove one of his arms and fled back to the sect. However, Zhong Gui had just led his remaining disciples back to the sect. When they arrived at Nankui Cave, new nightmares followed one after another.
Zhong Gui had just returned to the sect not long ago. He was still frightened by his experience in Jian'an Cave. Thinking of the painful loss of his right arm, he felt resentful in his heart. He had gone to Jian'an Cave to rob the Yuquan Crystal, but he was also disabled. By himself, thinking of this, Zhong Gui clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed the stone table beside him. At this time, a disciple hurriedly ran into the other courtyard. He wanted to report, but when he saw the furious Zhong Gui, he did not dare to say anything and just knelt down on the ground.
Looking at his disciple, Zhong Gui still tried to calm down his anger and asked, "What's the matter?"
The disciple kneeling on the ground trembled and replied: "Qing... Elder Qinggui is here."
Zhong Gui's heart sank. What was he doing here at this time?
Although he was hesitant in his heart, he had to see the person when he arrived. Zhong Gui stood up and walked quickly towards the main hall, followed closely by the two elders who had been beside him.
Arriving in front of the main hall, it was indeed Elder Qing Gui, standing in the courtyard with a group of disciples. When he saw Zhong Gui, he greeted him with a smile.
"Elder Zhong Gui, you have worked hard on this trip! I heard that you were seriously injured, so I came here to visit you with the sect's holy healing medicine!" Qing Gui said with a smile.
Looking at the friendly Qing Gui on the surface, Zhong Gui Sect Master felt angry but could not express it well. He bowed slightly as a greeting and said, "It is really a sin for my small injury to trouble Qing Gui Sect Master down the mountain!"
Elder Qinggui was still smiling and said, "Come quickly, Master Zhong, I'll check it out for you!"
Zhong Gui was extra cautious, but took a few steps forward and stood in front of Qing Gui. Just after standing still for a second, a sharp sword suddenly burst out of the ground at Zhong Gui's feet and slashed Zhong Gui's body from bottom to top. When it penetrated, Zhong Gui's head immediately spurted out a pillar of blood several meters high, and his face was forever fixed with a wide-eyed expression. Zhong Gui never thought that at this stop, he would end his life.
The incident happened so suddenly that the disciples in Nankui Cave didn't even react. Even the two Taoist Priests closest to Zhonggui were stunned for a few seconds before they thought of taking action. However, it was too late. Taoist Priest Qinggui led them. The figures of the disciples who arrived were fully unfolded. Within the Nankui Cave Heaven Sect, hundreds of sword shadows of different shapes rose up at once. Under the flickering sword shadows, Nankui Cave Heaven disciples fell one after another. Down.
Only Ao Gui, after taking Zhong Gui's life, stood firm and motionless, standing among the crowd with a very calm face, as if the killing around him had nothing to do with him.
In the end, every disciple brought by Qing Gui was unscathed, while thousands of disciples in Nankui Cave were killed by various sword energies.
This matter soon spread back to Jian'an Cave Heaven. The news was told by Li Sikong of Lanyue Dongtian. If there is any sect among the thirty-six caves that is best at collecting intelligence, it must be Lanyue Dongtian. None other than. When Li Sikong told the Huayan Sect Master that Zhong Gui had just returned to Nankui Cave Heaven and his entire family was slaughtered, he was convinced.
But, who did this? But everyone had no clue at all, and Sect Leader Hua Yang fell into depression again.
The bloodline of Shennong has been exposed, and it is difficult to live alone in Jian'an Cave. Now, the bell ghost who tried to snatch the Yuquan Crystal was killed in such a short period of time, so there can only be two possibilities, one of which is the bell ghost. There was another fairy-level magic weapon like the Yuquan Crystal that was coveted by others, so they came to rob it; another possibility was that Zhong Gui was also ordered by others during his trip, so he was silenced.
The first possibility is extremely small. Even Li Sikong has never heard of such a magic weapon in Nankui Cave. Then the truth of the matter is probably the second one. Someone wants to snatch the Yuquan Crystal and the bell ghost of Nankui Cave. Just a pawn.
So who could it be? Sect Master Huayan had no idea when he had a splitting headache. Originally, he was going to report the matter to the Shanhai Shenzong. As a top sect, the Shanhai Shenzong had always taken care of all matters of the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens. However, now, he felt a little confused. It's time to throw the rat into a trap.
You must know that none of the thirty-six caves have the strength to instruct Nankui Cave to do things for themselves, and they can kill people and silence them without leaving any traces. In other words, the person behind this is either the Shadow Alliance, or one of the three top sects of the Zhenwu Divine Sect, the Shanhai Divine Sect, and the Cantian Sword Sect.
If this is the case, then Hua Min will definitely not dare to act rashly.
Seeing the current situation, Li Sikong had no choice but to send his disciples from Lanyue Cave to the Thirty-sixth Cave to conduct open and covert visits. Hua Yan did not dare to take any action until the exact information arrived.
