The moment you step into the magma zone:
"boom……"
Zhang Yao felt a billowing wave of heat coming over him, and the mana all over his body was being consumed rapidly, and the speed was more than ten times that of before.
Even though there were dual obstacles from spiritual weapons and Taoism, he could still feel the remaining intimidation. It was conceivable that if he fell into it without protection, even an iron man would melt away in an instant.
"I can still hold it."
Zhang Yao sensed the flow of mana and felt a little relieved.
The temperature and destructive power in the magma will not change much. If it is only at this level, he can last at least half an hour.
"Go!"
Zhang Yao cast a spell, and thin five-color light flashed across his fingertips.
His eyes were red, his vision was blocked, and his spiritual thoughts were greatly suppressed, and he could only barely cover a few dozen feet.
If he hadn't learned the induction method through Yuwentai's memory, it would have been almost impossible for him to find it even if he knew that the entrance to the secret realm was within the magma area.
"found it!"
After waiting for a moment, there was a response from the magic formula, which immediately made Zhang Yao smile.
He continued to maintain his protective Taoism and spiritual weapons, and controlled the escape light to shuttle through the red and bright molten magma, heading towards the place where the induction landed.
The resistance to escaping in magma is extremely high. Even with Zhang Yao's strength and no specific escaping techniques, he can only travel more than ten feet in an instant.
After fleeing for almost half an hour, Zhang Yao finally used up nearly half of his mana before he finally saw a simple bronze door in this vast and endless magma area.
The bronze door is nine feet high, with a green-gold color throughout. It is engraved with complex and exquisite patterns and symbols, and shines with a gray luster. A large amount of magma is automatically discharged around it, forming a pure land.
"The door to the secret realm!"
Zhang Yao was refreshed and quickly flew away.
The moment he passed through the invisible barrier, Zhang Yao felt light all over, and his mana consumption rate dropped sharply.
"call……"
Zhang Yao let out a long breath, adjusted his breath for a moment, then flew forward and stopped in front of the bronze door.
The bronze door itself did not have any protective measures, but he learned one thing through Yuwentai's memory:
Before the Five Spiritual Roots Recruitment Order was announced, when the four golden elixir forces decided to seal the Five Elements Secret Realm due to heavy losses, the four golden elixir ancestors had joined forces to impose a seal on it.
This is the only and last line of defense they have left.
"Um……"
Zhang Yao observed carefully for a moment, then stretched out his hand and found three red thunder beads in his palm.
"If we want to blast through this layer of protection, I'm afraid we can only do it by firing these three 'Quartet Thunders' together."
"But if you use it like this, you will lose a big trump card..."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but hesitate when he thought of this.
These three square thunders are the most powerful trump card in his hand, enough to pose a strong threat to the Golden Core stage.
Especially after the Five Elements Secret Realm is re-opened and the golden elixir stage cannot be entered, this third-level secret treasure with huge power and a golden elixir strike becomes the key to determining victory or defeat.
He is sure:
Lingyang Sect, Shanhe Sect and Dugu Family have passed down the inheritance for hundreds of thousands of years, so they must have third-level secret treasures in their hands.
When the Five Elements Secret Realm is reopened, it is time to go straight to the core place and compete for the most important 'Innate Pure Yuan Dan'. Each family will definitely go all out and use whatever treasures they have.
In this case, if he does not have the third-level secret treasure by his side, once the situation develops beyond his control, he will not have strong means as a final guarantee.
"...That's all."
"Indecisiveness leads to disaster!"
Zhang Yao thought for a long time, and finally decided to use thunder beads to blast through this layer of protection and enter the Five Elements Secret Realm first.
After all, although he is confident that he will not be exposed easily, when the secret realm opens, there will definitely be an ancestor of Jindan who will be watching personally. At that time, if he fishes in troubled waters and tries to sneak into the secret realm, the risk will be too great.
And since he had Yu Wentai's memory, the Five Elements Secret Realm was equivalent to his home field. He asked himself that even if he lost three thunder beads, he was still confident that he could complete the layout.
"call!"
Zhang Yao took a deep breath, made up his mind, and fled away in one breath.
After retreating thousands of feet, Zhang Yao aimed at the bronze door, activated it with his magic power, and threw three thunder beads heavily.
"Uh-huh!"
After throwing three thunder beads, Zhang Yao turned around without saying a word and drove away with the escape light as fast as possible.
After just two or three breaths:
"Boom!"
A loud roar that shook the heavens and the earth suddenly exploded!
The aftermath of the terrifying power rippled out, causing the extremely thick magma to become like water waves, sweeping layer by layer, destroying countless mountain and rock passages.
Zhang Yao only felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, and the protective aura flashed a few times. His whole body was pushed hundreds of feet away by the wave of magma, and then he gradually stabilized.
Because of this thunder bead bombardment, the entire depths of Prison Gate Mountain trembled slightly, showing how powerful it was.
"boom……"
Zhang Yao didn't wait long before he felt the abnormal flow of magma around him.
Wave after wave of magma collapsed and gathered like a whirlpool, sweeping away in a certain direction, where the bronze door was located.
It was the terrifying power of the three thunder beads that exploded and formed a large vacuum area at the point of impact, which caused the magma in all directions to roll back after the aftermath of the power dissipated, resulting in such a strange scene.
"It should be almost done."
Zhang Yao estimated the time, maintained his protective skills and spiritual weapons, and flew away in the direction of the magma flow.
After a while, he came to the bronze door again and saw that the gray luster had disappeared.
The surrounding exclusion area is still there, but the bronze door has lost its aura, leaving only its original simple green-gold color and looking like an ordinary antique.
"Success!"
A smile appeared on Zhang Yao's face, and he slowly flew forward and arrived in front of the bronze door.
His figure did not stop and continued to fly forward. He just disappeared into the bronze door and disappeared straight away.
…………
In an instant, the world was spinning.
Zhang Yao felt a little dizzy and closed his eyes subconsciously. When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly came to a different small world.
Looking at it, the sky is yellow and misty, as if it is shrouded in sandstorms all year round. There are no light sources such as the sun or the moon, but the whole world is not dim.
Surrounded by a desert-like scene, there was no trace of green, and an air of desolation and loneliness hit our faces.
"In this small world of earth elements, luck is pretty good..."
Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at the small world in front of him.
He has already focused on the memory of the Five Elements Secret Realm. Coming here can be said to be like returning home. It is familiar and can no longer be familiar.
The structure of the entire Five Elements Secret Realm is actually very simple, divided into only two layers - the outer layer and the core.
This was originally a natural secret space. It was discovered by Liu Cang, the Five Elements Sanshi at that time, and was regarded as a hidden mansion. It was not until his death that large-scale transformation was carried out.
The entire outer layer is divided into a total of 1,200 different small worlds by the formation. Each small world is only a dozen miles in size and can be seen at a glance.
One thousand two hundred small worlds are divided into five elements.
In these small worlds, there are basically different tests and rewards. The worst rewards are second-level elixirs and spiritual weapons, which shows the luxury of the Five Elements Sanren back then.
"There should have been some formation puppets like sand beasts here to test the entrants."
"It's just that the test here has been broken and the original rewards have been taken away. If the formation detects this, there will be no more sand beasts."
Zhang Yao just glanced at it and judged the state of this small earthy world.
Before and after the Five Sects War, expedition teams dispatched by several Jindan forces explored this place for decades. It can be said that most of the small world was basically plundered by them.
It was precisely the repeated explorations and accumulation of wealth that made several Jindan ancestors feel satisfied and at the same time became increasingly greedy, eager for the precious heritage of the core land to the extreme.
The disputes and fights during the exploration also led to deeper and deeper conflicts among several families, and eventually they were all buried, waiting to explode one day.
"This is a ready-made spider web that has been compiled in advance. It would be such a waste if it is not used."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he thought of this.
The entire outer world of 1,200 seems to be to take care of the younger generations and to select successors, but in fact it is just a means to hide from others.
The real Five Elements Sanren Liu Cang is a ruthless and uncompromising overlord of the southwest. How can he be so kind and kind?
In fact, the ecstasy formation based on the 'Three Illusion Formations' recorded in the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" is spread throughout the outer layer. Once you enter here, you will be subtly affected by the ecstasy formation.
The top level three enchantment formation, let alone resisting it during the foundation stage, can't even detect it.
Under the ecstasy formation, any slight dark thought will be amplified, and the power of negative emotions such as anger, frustration, resentment, hatred, etc. will gradually exceed the original level.
simply put:
What was originally supposed to be a quarrel will turn into a fierce battle; what was originally just a preparation to decide the outcome will eventually turn into a battle of life and death without realizing it.
Because the whole process is extremely obscure, the treasures in the secret realm are inherently thrilling, and the dangers of each small world itself, the existence of the ecstasy formation has never been discovered.
And now——
Yuwentai is dead, and Zhang Yao, who inherited his inheritance, is about to become the new owner of this secret realm.
What Zhang Yao is going to do is also very simple - wait for the rabbit and build a net for the fish.
He doesn't need to worry about it at all. Once the Realm Breaker breaks through to the foundation-building stage, his greed will prompt outside foundation-building monks to swarm in, and they will eventually become his resources.
"Let's go."
Zhang Yao flew away and came to the edge of this small world.
Under the powerful division of the formation, outsiders only need to touch the edge of the world to be transported to a new small world.
Under normal circumstances, you have to explore for a long time and pass through one small world after another before you can figure out the rules and then get closer to the core place little by little.
But for Zhang Yao, there is no need to be so troublesome.
"Wow..."
Zhang Yao's mana surged all over his body, and he fired more than a dozen magic spells in an instant, which landed on the space barrier at the edge of the small world.
As the magic formula falls:
The spirit pattern veins were like golden threads, emerging from the air little by little, and eventually spread throughout the sky.
Wherever you look, the entire small world is wrapped in endless spiritual patterns, like a giant fetal egg bound by layers of spider webs, which looks particularly shocking.
"bring it on."
Zhang Yao slowly stretched out his hand and tapped into his own magic power.
The moment he came into contact with the pure five elements mana, the whole space seemed to tremble, and the dense golden threads all emitted brilliance.
After the light fell, Zhang Yao's figure disappeared directly into this small world.
The next moment:
Zhang Yao's eyes flashed, and after seeing his surroundings clearly, he came to a magnificent palace complex that stretched for dozens of miles and had various features.
"It's so luxurious!"
Zhang Yao opened his mouth and sighed in admiration, then flew forward.
The place where he is currently is the core of the Five Elements Secret Realm, and it is also the cave where the Five Elements San people used to be.
Although Liu Cang, the Five Elements Sanshi at that time, did not establish a sect, he still had many relatives and disciples under his command, and his followers lived together, which is why the cave was so wide and equipped with all kinds of facilities inside.
This is also the reason why the Five Elements Sanren moved directly to the cave after dismissing all their relatives and disciples before they died.
Two thousand years ago:
Liu Cang, who was out looking for a chance to break through, bumped into an old Nascent Soul monster who acted secretly and attacked him whenever he disagreed. Liu Cang was forced to fight back.
But the Yuanying Master did not expect that Liu Cang had already reached the perfection of the golden elixir at that time, and had also refined the most powerful magical power 'Nine-Colored Heavenly Wheel' recorded in the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra", and his combat power was terrifying. .
After a fierce battle between the two sides, both sides ended up losing.
Liu Cang's injuries were too serious and he died not long after returning to Dali. The Five Elements Secret Realm and memory copying were also a series of hastily arranged methods before his death.
"Boom..."
The magnificent palace gate, which had been closed for two thousand years, slowly opened.
After two thousand years, this cave that was once the Five Elements Sanren welcomed its second guest.
Zhang Yaodun entered with familiarity and passed through many buildings such as Lecture Hall, Alchemy Cauldron Hall, Medicine Garden, Sutra Collection Pavilion, etc., and arrived at the deepest part of the cave.
This is the place where the Five Elements San people practiced and lived.
With a "crunch", Zhang Yao pushed open the door of a palace and stepped into the inner hall covered with white jade bricks.
There used to be forbidden laws here, but they were lifted by Yu Wentai a long time ago, which happened to be an advantage for Zhang Yao, so he didn't need to put in any more effort.
Inside the hall: In front of a futon, there is a crystal clear jade pillar, emitting a faint light.
Zhang Yao took a few steps forward and came to the crystal jade pillar. With a solemn look on his face, he stretched out his hand to press it up and receive the power of his spiritual thoughts.
"Crack!"
Yuwentai's remaining brand was easily defeated by him.
After Zhang Yao spent several hours, he finally refined and controlled this extremely complex formation center, leaving his own imprint of mana and spiritual thoughts.
"It's finally done!"
A sincere smile appeared on his face:
"The food and wine are ready, now we are waiting for the guests to arrive..."
