"Got it!"
Zhang Yao was overjoyed.
He withdrew his hand, looked down at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and directly opened the cork.
Inside the small white porcelain bottle is a pure white elixir, simple and natural, with a faint fragrance rising from it.
"call!"
Zhang Yao took a deep breath and felt the magic power in his body boiling, and he suddenly felt certain in his heart:
"It's indeed the Foundation Establishment Pill."
As soon as the thought in his mind came to an end, a light door appeared silently on the wall opposite the hall, and another vast hall behind the light door could be vaguely seen.
"I can only choose one of three, it's a pity..."
Zhang Yao glanced at the treasures on the jade pillars on the left and right, shook his head, put away the Foundation Establishment Pill, stepped forward and passed through the light door.
The hall behind the light door is very vast, measuring a hundred feet square. The dome is not visible. The white walls around it seem to reach straight into the sky with no boundaries.
The huge hall was empty, with only Zhang Yao alone.
"Um?"
Zhang Yao glanced around and was immediately attracted by the golden text and pictures on the white wall.
"It's really the twelve methods of Pingdu."
There was a smile on Zhang Yao's face.
Tiandu Secret Treasure is, after all, intended to pass on the Pingdu Sect’s orthodoxy and prepare for a comeback.
Therefore, the level of some magic elixirs, spiritual materials and other treasures may not be high, but the inheritance of the most important classics must be complete.
"Whether those guys succeed or fail, it will probably take a while."
"Take advantage of this opportunity to collect the inheritance of Pingdu Sect first."
Zhang Yao thought of this and took out a few blank jade slips from his storage bag.
He stepped forward and looked up at the content on the wall. At the same time, he poured mana into the jade slip and burned the inheritance.
On top of the white wall:
In addition to the most well-known 'Pingdu Twelve Techniques', there are also several sets of exercises, one of which is the 'Great Method of Ensuring All Living Beings', which is a top-level exercise that requires earth-attributed heavenly spiritual roots to practice.
In addition to this set of top-level exercises, the remaining sets of exercises are also very good. They can be practiced all the way to the golden elixir stage, and are of great value to the outside world.
"It's a pity that these sets of exercises cannot see the light of day."
"Otherwise, just by selling these sets of exercises, you can get several Foundation Establishment Pills."
Zhang Yao felt a little regretful, but he moved very quickly. After finishing recording these exercises, he went on to record the contents of the 'Twelve Pingdu Techniques'.
The founder of Pingdu thousands of years ago was a strange man of his generation.
Although his cultivation level is only at the late stage of Golden elixir, he is proficient in various arts of cultivating immortals. He is also a master figure in elixir refining, weapon refining, formations, and talismans. His reputation is far-reaching and he is good friends with many Nascent Soul monsters.
The "Twelve Methods of Pingdu", which he was most proud of in his life and also the most famous, is said to be the most extensive set of spells among the southwestern countries.
Each of the twelve spells of Pingdu is at the level of divine channel magic, and there are corresponding simplified versions of high-level spells. For example, the 'Qinglian Song' simplified from the 'Baolian Song Jue' is one of the established sects of the Qinglian Sect. base.
"The way of yellow talismans, the art of refining corpses, the art of refining gu, the art of raising insects and controlling beasts, the art of raising and refining Taoist soldiers, the way of music, the puppet method, the magic of souls..."
Zhang Yao was filled with wonder and admiration.
"These twelve laws of Pingdu are all-encompassing, and their truth is not trivial."
"It seems that the Patriarch of Pingdu back then was probably a man of great origin."
It is obviously impossible to say that so many magical techniques were created by Pingdu Patriarch alone.
After all, human energy is limited. Not to mention that the golden elixir stage only has a lifespan of 500 yuan. Even the old monster Yuanying who lives for a thousand years cannot dabble in so many magical channels at the same time.
Moreover, apart from Pingdu Sect, looking at the entire world of immortal cultivation in the southwestern countries, there is no other sect or family that can master such a large number of divine channels with completely different effects.
"After the Pingdu Sect was destroyed, there are still four major golden elixir forces left in the Dali Immortal Realm: Lingyang Sect, Fuhai Sect, Dugu Family, and Shanhe Sect."
"They should have the inheritance of the Twelve Pingdu Dharma in their hands, which means there is a high probability that it is also in Tianbao Tower, and there are channels to spread it to the outside world..."
Zhang Yao felt relieved when he thought of this.
He is still quite interested in some of the twelve methods of Pingdu, such as the 'Path of Yellow Talisman', 'Soul Magic', etc.
If these twelve techniques are all top secret and forbidden techniques, then even if he has practiced them, he would not dare to display them openly, and he can only become the same trump card as the 'Tian Can Secret Technique'.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yao carved all the twelve laws of Pingdu into the jade slips and carefully put them into his storage bag.
"Yes, this trip can be considered a very rewarding one."
He nodded with satisfaction and glanced at the light curtain on the other side.
On the light screen, the first monk from the Dongge Sect, codenamed 'Qing', had already reached the ninth level.
"It seems that we have to wait for at least another hour."
All challengers, whether they succeed in the trial, quit midway, or fail, will eventually come to this inheritance hall.
This inheritance palace is also the only place in the Tiandu Secret Palace where you can take action, and only when everyone is present can the exit emerge.
"Then just wait."
"I hope one of them can give me an unexpected surprise."
When Zhang Yao thought of this, he raised his head again and looked at the words on the white wall in front of him, carefully pondering and understanding its essence.
More than a quarter of an hour later:
"Buzz!"
In the center of the inheritance hall, the air suddenly trembled, and a door of light appeared out of thin air.
A middle-aged man in a black robe walked out of the light door, holding a magic weapon in his hand and looking around cautiously.
At the same time, the third person on the light screen, codenamed 'Zi', disappeared in an instant.
"It's him!"
The eyes of the middle-aged man in black robes instantly locked onto Zhang Yao, who was standing dozens of feet away under the white wall with his hands behind his back, and his expression changed slightly.
"Codenamed Orange... Judging from his performance during the battle, this man's strength is probably unfathomable!"
“I don’t know where the Xige Sect found such a monster!”
He was extremely fearful and quietly retreated to a corner, preparing to wait for several other comrades to arrive before making any plans.
But just as he retreated to the corner, a voice came into his ears:
"You are very smart……"
Zhang Yao turned around slowly, with a calm expression, and looked at the man in black robe in the corner:
"I thought you would try to sneak up on me."
"...Your Excellency, you are joking."
The man in black robe twitched his face and forced a smile:
"Fellow Taoist, can you show your respect? After all, we are both from the Pingdu sect, so we can be considered to be of the same spirit..."
"Of course not."
Zhang Yao shook his head and said indifferently:
"You haven't given up your murderous intention against me, but you want me to show my favor to you? I really don't know where you got the face."
"Either you commit suicide now, or I send you on your way. You choose one."
"Arrogant!"
Hearing Zhang Yao's words, the man in black robe was furious, with a ferocious look on his face:
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Before he finished speaking, there seemed to be a thin silver light flashing through the hall, which was hard to catch and incredibly fast.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Yao suddenly stretched out his hand, seemingly slowly but quickly, and reached out to grab the air in front of him.
A slender silver flying needle was tightly held in his hand, and he struggled desperately like a jumping fish, but in vain.
"you……"
The man in black robe subconsciously took a step back, showing a look of horror.
His sneak attack with flying needles has always been unfavorable, and he has killed several masters of the same level.
If it was blocked by a magical weapon or spell, he wouldn't be surprised, but if it was intercepted by someone's body, it would be a bit shocking!
"Are you a physical practitioner?"
The man in black robe subconsciously used a protective weapon.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Zhang Yao didn't respond, he unfolded his sleeves, and the thunder cone and purple light sword flew out, roaring and killing.
After just a few breaths, the body of the man in black robe fell to the ground, with a big hole in his chest. The broken internal organs and bones were carbon black, and his eyes were round and round.
“Don’t overestimate your own capabilities.”
Zhang Yao shook his head, stretched out his hand, and put away the storage bag and magic weapon.
He turned around and took a look and found that the Dongge sect disciple codenamed 'Qing' on the light screen had passed the tenth level.
"very good."
There was a hint of expectation in Zhang Yao's eyes.
"I hope this person can surprise me."
Every time Tiandu Secret is opened, not all people can get through to the last level.
Even if you are very strong, if you are unlucky, you will probably fail at level seven or eight, and you won't even be able to get any rewards.
However, this disciple of the Dongge Sect, codenamed 'Qing', has a good momentum of breaking into the formation, and there is a good chance that he can complete the trial.
…………
More than half an hour later.
"Hoo, hoo..."
Zhuge Xing was panting violently, sweating profusely, and looked tired.
In the hall in front of him, various mutilated corpses lay scattered on the ground. There were no flesh and blood and internal organs, only metal and jade.
"These Dao soldiers are really difficult to deal with."
He took a deep breath, with a smile on his face:
"But this twelfth level is finally cleared."
After adjusting his breath for a moment, he walked through the entire hall, passed through the huge light door, and came to the inner hall.
"The Foundation Establishment Pill is gone!"
Zhuge Xing's expression changed.
The first time he came here, he noticed that the jade pillar in the middle was blank, and the Foundation Establishment Pill that should have been there had disappeared.
"This is bad..."
His expression darkened and his mood became particularly solemn.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is not only his biggest target, it may also be his only chance to survive.
In his opinion, the mysterious man from the Xige Sect, codenamed 'Orange', was 80% stronger than him, and his chances of winning in a head-on confrontation were too slim.
If he can get the Foundation Establishment Pill, he can use it as a threatening bargaining chip to try to negotiate with the other party and gain a chance of survival.
But now, the Foundation Establishment Pill has been taken away by the other party.
The remaining second-level spiritual objects and primary-level spiritual weapons, no matter which one he chooses, will be difficult to destroy instantly based on his strength, and the other party may not care, so they cannot be used as a bargaining chip to threaten them.
"Hey, for the current plan, we can only take one step at a time."
"I hope that secret can be of some use..."
Zhuge Xing sighed deeply in his heart, stepped forward to collect the jade Ruyi on the right, and passed through the last light door.
In the inheritance hall:
"Buzz!"
In the center of the vast hall, the light in the air fluctuates faintly.
Zhang Yao's eyes instantly locked onto the center of the hall, where he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a blue robe walking out of the light door.
"It's him!"
As soon as Zhuge Xing came out, he noticed a sharp gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.
His eyes instantly swept across the hall, and he found three familiar broken corpses, which were the other three intruders from the Dongge sect.
"really……"
"The rest of the breaker failed to reach the last level and were killed by him after they came out early!"
Zhuge Xing's heart sank, but he was not too surprised.
The trials in Tiandu's secrets are all conducted individually, and there is no way to connect and agree on them in the middle. It is impossible for the four of them to come out together.
Even he didn't have the confidence to fight against such a powerful enemy alone, let alone the other three.
"Buzz!"
The moment the two faced each other, the white wall on one side of the hall shook violently, revealing a simple and ancient stone door.
"The secret exit!"
Zhuge Xing's expression suddenly perked up, and his eyes turned away unconsciously.
At the same time, the mana in his body was flowing rapidly in the energy veins around his body, and he was ready to flee at any time.
"You can try to distract him first, and then find the right opportunity..."
Such thoughts were swirling in his mind.
But at this moment, a purple flying sword flew across the sky in an instant, swimming in front of the stone gate, faintly blocking Zhuge Xing's escape route.
"you……"
Zhuge Xing's expression changed slightly.
"You are still not decisive enough. You should have escaped immediately."
Zhang Yao spoke slowly, with a calm expression:
"Did you choose that spiritual weapon or that spiritual object?"
Zhuge Xing's face twitched and he suddenly said:
"I can give you my storage bag. In addition, I will buy my life with an additional piece of top-secret information about Tiandu's secrets. How about that?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yao showed a faint smile:
"It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet."
"I want your life, and I want your top-secret information too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thunder cone shot out and turned into a blue lightning, roaring and roaring.
Zhang Yao's body swayed, and a brilliant golden light emitted from his body, like a cannonball, killing Zhuge Xing in the center of the hall.
"You forced me to do this!"
Zhuge Xing's eyes turned red, he roared angrily, and charged forward with his flying sword.
"Boom!" "Bang!" "Boom!"...
The war broke out suddenly, with waves of air roaring, and then ended abruptly after just a few breaths.
"Ahem..."
Zhuge Xing collapsed on the ground, with broken muscles and bones all over his body, coughing up blood in his mouth, and his flying swords and magic weapons were also knocked away.
Zhang Yao grabbed his collar and lifted him up. Invisible whirlpools surged in his eyes, and he used the 'Legilimency Technique'.
"Say it."
Zhang Yao's tone was erratic:
"What secret information do you know about Tiandu's secrets?"
"Ahem..."
Zhuge Xing coughed a few times, his expression was dazed, and he subconsciously replied:
"This is a secret I accidentally learned before setting off."
"Several foundation-building monks from the East Pavilion Sect and the West Pavilion Sect have always suspected that there may be some relic of the Five Elements Sanren hidden in the Tiandu Secret Crypt."
"The relic of the Five Elements Sanren?"
Zhang Yao was startled.
Isn't this the secret left behind by Pingdumen? Why is it related to the Five Elements Sanren again?
"Tell me carefully!"
Zhang Yao asked further, and Zhuge Xing responded dully:
"Is such that……"
There is still one today.
