The entrance to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm.
Beside the large altar with a radius of several hundred feet, dozens of Taoist immortal elders were cautiously guarding the side. Once a monk was teleported back by the death jade talisman, they would take action in time to lure him down.
Those who can use this altar to resurrect must be prominent figures in the major forces. Even the Taoist court will not neglect them and provide thoughtful and meticulous care to all aspects.
In the central area of the altar, the sound of the Great Dao Lun resonated and colorful light rain rose up. Su Zhengji's figure emerged after a few breaths. His breath was a little sluggish and his face was sinister. Other than that, there was no other obstacle.
"Elder Su, what are you..."
There were also several ordinary elder-level monks guarding nearby in the Shadow Killing Hall. When they saw his figure, they were surprised and surprised, and hurried over to respectfully salute and greet him.
Before that, they really didn't expect that Su Zhengji would fall into the secret realm with his tyrannical cultivation. Who could kill him? Could it be that he encountered some accident and fell into the natural forbidden trap in the secret realm?
"I'm fine, don't ask anything!"
Su Zhengji replied angrily, which frightened the monks into obeying and no longer dared to say anything.
The hierarchical rules within the Shadow Killing Palace are strict and strict. The superiors often impose heavy punishments on the inferiors. Their methods are no different from those of the Demonic Sect. Therefore, when Su Zhengji is in a bad mood, he can scold and punish those disciples whose status is inferior to his at will. Others will never say a word about it.
"...Damn young Yunmeng Tiangong, this matter is not over yet! I must catch you all!"
Su Zhengji gnashed his teeth and cursed in his heart. He took out a red bronze mirror with dragon and phoenix inscriptions on it from his arms, injected it with magic power, and the surface of the bronze mirror lit up with a gray brilliance, with tens of thousands of light spots faintly visible. emerge.
However, if you carefully observe the number of breaths, you will find that nearly half of the light spots in the bronze mirror are stagnant and have obvious death ashes. This means that the disciple represented by the light spots has been completely dead and there is no replacement jade. Fu Shengli, if you die, you are really dead.
"This... how is this possible? It has only been a few days since the secret realm was opened, and nearly half of the manpower has been lost? What are they doing in there? What a bastard!"
Su Zhengji's face was as gloomy as if it was about to drip, the fire in his heart was boiling, and his bloodshot eyes were looking around viciously, as if he was a gambler who had lost his mind and was ready to hurt others.
This time, the Shadow Killing Palace dispatched tens of thousands of elite killer disciples at once, under the command of Su Zhengji, the core elder, not only to compete for various opportunities in the secret realm, but more importantly, to target this large group of Yunmeng Tiangong. Business.
Before entering the secret realm, Su Zhengji was very confident, thinking that he would complete the matter successfully and lead most of his disciples back in triumph.
Little did they know that in just a few days, half of their manpower had been lost. The losses were so great that the heavy casualties could not be described.
In a word, unless the senior officials of the Shadow Killing Palace call in more elite support in time, this task will be impossible to complete, and even how many of the remaining disciples will be able to come back alive in the end has become a problem.
For failing such an important errand, Su Zhengji will definitely be severely criticized by the senior officials of the Shadow Killing Palace after he returns. If he is unlucky, he might even lose his position as a core elder.
"Elder Su, do you have... any orders?"
Feeling the pressure from him who was about to go berserk, the ordinary elders around him were so frightened that their scalps were numb, and they were complaining in their hearts. They did not dare to run away, so they could only ask with a grimace and trepidation.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a large number of monks looking over here. Su Zhengji's furious mind calmed down a little. He took a few deep breaths and then said firmly: "It's okay, let's go to the camp to talk."
In the valley near the entrance to the secret realm, all the major forces have set up temporary camps, and the Shadow Killing Palace is no exception.
Su Zhengji's figure turned into a stream of light and escaped into the camp. Immediately, the sound of smashing objects could be heard from inside. I don't know how furious he was.
…
In the secret realm of the cave.
"... Senior sisters, let's say goodbye for the time being and wait until this grand gathering of immortals is over before we come to visit you."
Chi Yeling spoke politely to the girls Xue Bingxuan.
Although most of his clan members survived, their bodies were clean and clean. All the elixir supplies had been exhausted, and they could no longer continue their in-depth exploration. They had to return to the entrance of the secret realm and go to the temporary camp of the ancient Qilin clan to replenish them. resources before entering.
Xueyou's eyes were filled with waves, and she could not move away from Qin Muling. Unfortunately, in full view of everyone, she really couldn't find a suitable reason to come and chat with this beautiful young man in purple.
The surviving disciples of other Taoist forces are in a similar situation. Only Qin Muling and the others still have sufficient resources and can continue to explore secrets and search for opportunities without being affected.
Xue Bingxuan said a few polite words as usual, said goodbye to many monks one by one, and watched them take off into the sky.
"Sister, I..."
Qin Muling was about to speak when she was stopped by Xue Bingxuan: "It's not very convenient here. Let's move to another place first. We can talk about anything later!"
Looking at the monks lying on the ground who had not yet recovered, as well as the mutilated corpses all over the ground, the smell of blood was so strong that it was indeed not a suitable place for communication, so Qin Muling did not raise any objection.
After a few breaths, the star boat rose into the sky, turned into a stream of light and accelerated away. Suddenly it was hundreds of miles away.
Inside the cabin, Xue Bingxuan used the sect's secret method to carefully conduct a comprehensive inspection of Qin Muling and the others, and only after confirming that they were not plotted by some mysterious and special magical powers did she really feel relieved.
This is an indispensable precautionary measure when traveling abroad. The saying "be careful to sail a ship that lasts for ten thousand years" is most suitable for monks who have a long life.
"Okay, now let's talk in detail about your experiences these past few days, and then we'll discuss how to proceed next."
Xue Bingxuan said with a smile. She was also a little curious about Qin Muling's experience. It had been so long since they last saw him, and his cultivation level had increased significantly. Even Cheng Yulan and Yu Binghua were no exception. It was really... let She didn't know what to say.
So Cheng Yulan opened his mouth and recounted Yunji's experience in the Taoist Pagoda in detail, especially the magical effect of the fortune-telling machine. Qi Yalan, Luo Wanqing, and Luo Huan's beautiful eyes shone with surprise.
"It's really unbelievable, but...it's understandable."
Xue Bingxuan sighed slightly. After all, the monks who are qualified to participate in the Immortal Grand Meeting are all elite disciples of various Dao lineages. They are more or less capable, and their qualifications are not bad. They are definitely not Comparable to ordinary disciples.
However, among the hundreds of thousands of elite monks in total, in the layers of screening tests in the Yunji Taoist Tower, only nearly a hundred people survived to the end. It can be said that the passing rate is less than one thousandth. The difficulty It's so high that it's insane.
Of course, compared to the almost heaven-defying miraculous effects of the Creation Spiritual Machine, it seems that such difficulty is not incomprehensible. The senior officials of Taoist Court have always been fair in this regard. As much hardship and suffering as you can endure, you will get as much benefit in the end as long as you can persevere until the end.
Finally, Cheng Yulan mentioned Miao Xin of Dafanyin Temple. This would-be Buddha tried to lure and poach Qin Muling with huge profits. If she and Yu Binghua had not arrived in time, the junior brother might have been in danger.
"I will explain this matter to Master when I get back. I want to see how the senior officials of Dafanyin Temple explain it."
Xue Bingxuan snorted coldly, her impression of this supreme Buddhist orthodoxy in her heart suddenly deteriorated to the extreme. No matter what kind of person or force, anyone who dares to have an idea of their junior brother is just trying to touch their enemies. It will never be tolerated!
The speed of the star boat was extremely fast, and in a moment it had arrived at a large lake with beautiful scenery thousands of miles away.
After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, Xue Bingxuan decided to stop temporarily and took out the Ten Thousand Years Black Water Turtle from the bracelet. She used her flying sword to chop off a few chunks of the fattest meat and threw it into the copper cauldron for cooking. After cooking, he put out all the various holy medicines and spiritual fruits collected along the way, as well as spiritual wine and nectar, and started preparing for a barbecue feast by the lake.

Of course, the meat of the black turtle is basically prepared for Qin Muling. Just looking at the fiery eyes of the senior sisters looking at the younger junior brother, one can imagine what will happen next after eating and drinking.
"I always feel that after the Shadow Killing Palace has suffered such a big loss this time, it will definitely not give up and will use all means to get revenge."
Qin Muling thought for a while and said that he was not worried about himself and his senior sisters, but there were thousands of disciples and elders of Yunmeng Tiangong who entered the secret realm this time. If they were targeted by the surviving disciples of Shadow Killing Palace, the situation would be different. So optimistic.
Xue Bingxuan nodded: "That's the truth, so we still have to try to join them as soon as possible and everyone can act together to ensure safety."
Although it was a bit difficult to connect them, with Qin Muling's terrifying luck, it was basically a sure thing for him to use the secret technique to deduce the whereabouts of his fellow disciples.
After a while, steam came out from several bronze cauldrons. The snow-white and delicate meat of the black turtle was rolling up and down in the thick soup. There was a faint bright glow rising up, and a strong aroma filled the air. You can't help but move your index fingers.
Qi Yalan also threw in a large number of sacred medicines and rare treasures, supplemented by various seasonings and ingredients. The glow suddenly became much brighter, and there were faint fragments of Taoist rhyme flowing.
Luo Huan took out the sapphire tableware, filled a large bowl of meat soup from the cauldron, and handed it to Qin Muling with both hands.
"Junior brother, go ahead and eat. It's all prepared for you. After eating, let's go practice and fight together!"
Luo Wanqing said with a smile.
Qin Muling rolled his eyes at her, picked up the spoon and started to enjoy the food. The meat of this black turtle contained incredible blood essence. The tender and juicy meat melted in the mouth, and the pure, thick and unimaginable heat poured into his belly. His body temperature rose sharply, and billowing white gas gathered above his head, almost burning from the inside out.
After finishing one bowl, Luo Huan would immediately serve him another bowl, while the senior sisters just ate some spiritual fruit snacks and basically didn't touch the black turtle meat.
"Don't be idle either,"
After finishing another bowl, Qin Muling put down the tableware and said, "Would it be better to refine and absorb the good luck inspiration obtained from Yun Jiwen Pagoda as soon as possible? Even if you can't break through to a new realm immediately, you can still improve your strength a lot."
Xue Bingxuan nodded: "Okay, this matter won't take much time. Once it's finished, we can practice together."
