The Lake of the Dead is located deep in Wangling Mountain. It is the only place in Wangling Mountain that is not set foot by evil spirits.
When Qi Yue came down with the Wuji Sect disciples, they saw this scene.
The gray mist is like an inverted bowl, cutting the outside and inside of the valley into two worlds.
You can still see a lot of gray vegetation outside, although if you look at it twice, you will feel an ominous premonition.
But the inside of the valley was not much better than outside. The ground was desolate, with a few scattered dead grasses hiding in the corners, looking tough but pitiful and cute.
The most eye-catching thing here is undoubtedly the black lake that occupies more than half of the huge valley, and an old tree that has long since died in the lake.
The reason why it is a black lake is because the lake is full of roots of old trees.
Under the old tree is the entrance and exit of Wei Yu's secret realm. Every midnight, the thick gray mist in the sky will lighten and disperse.
Then the bright moon hangs in the sky, and the old tree will suddenly come back to life and grow green leaves. The number of green leaves represents how many days the Yiyu secret realm will be open this time.
When Qi Yue and the others arrived, they were actually not too far away from Zi Shi.
Therefore, although everyone gathered together, no one spoke, and they all waited quietly for the moment when the cracks in the old tree grew.
Time passed little by little, and it wasn't until everyone noticed the wind blowing that they realized that the oppressive gray curtain above their heads had disappeared.
The clear moonlight fell gently, and the old tree, which was blackened and scarred by lightning, suddenly moved, causing the Nascent Soul monks present to look solemn.
None of the disciples knew that this old tree was originally a thousand-haired demon born out of resentment. Many golden elixir monks came to capture the demon many years ago, but none of them survived.
Then one day, when another monk came to find out what was going on, he discovered that the thousand-haired demon, which could not be killed at all, was mysteriously killed by lightning.
And that day, the monks stayed away from Wangling Mountain at night and witnessed with their own eyes what seemed to be a treasure light leaking out from under the old tree.
Those monks used all means but no one could cross the Black Lake safely, so one of them reported the matter to the sect behind him - Wuji Sect.
The Supreme Master of the Wuji Sect came to check it out in person, but the treasure light disappeared in the next few days.
However, the death of the Thousand-haired Demon aroused the curiosity of Taoist Master Huashen, so he used some tracing methods to find out the real cause of the Thousand-haired Demon's death.
When a secret realm first appears, there will usually be thunder and disaster.
The Thousand-haired Demon doesn't know whether it's really unlucky or it's destiny. The real body happens to be above the secret realm. The sky thunder came to the world to split the secret realm and introduce the laws of heaven and earth in this world, but he didn't expect that this place is not allowed to be in the world. Thousand-haired demon exists here.
As a result, the secret realm was struck, and the Thousand-haired Demon was also struck to death by the aggravated thunder calamity.
This is how the secret world of Wei Yu came to be.
A tiny green leaf popped up tremblingly, followed by the second, then the third...
Until the nineteenth green leaf came out, there was no other movement in the old tree, and everyone knew that the secret realm of Yiyu could only be opened for nineteen days this time.
Six days more than the last thirteen days.
Many disciples who knew the inside story were brightened when they saw this.
"Oh, give it to me!"
The Nascent Soul cultivator who led Youshui Palace this time immediately shouted loudly, flicked his sleeves, and the Dinghai Pearl fell in the sky above the Black Lake.
In an instant, the black lake was like a boiling oil pot, rolling continuously. When the movement finally disappeared, a long black tunnel was revealed.
True Lord Sheshan, who led the Wuji Sect this time, threw a flying knife, and when he came back, all nineteen green leaves were in his hands.
With a flick of his fingertips, nine green leaves rushed towards the black passage in the shape of flowers and disappeared into it.
The treasure light inside suddenly appeared, and after just two breaths, it dimmed.
The black channel is still bottomless.
But at this time, True Lord Sheshan shouted, "All Wuji Sect disciples, come in!"
On the Wuji Sect side, figures one after another glanced towards the black passage without hesitation.
Tianyimen followed closely, followed by Youshui Palace, Taibai Sect, Changchun Sect and Chihuoshuo Manor. The other small and medium-sized forces brought the least number of people. Seeing this, they ignored the fear in their hearts and rushed in.

In the green forest, someone suddenly fell down, causing the nearby birds to flutter and fly away.
Before Qi Yue landed, as soon as she noticed that the pressure on her body was lightened, she quickly hit the ground with a palm wind. Following the push from her hand, her body turned over lightly, and finally landed on the surface of a nearby tree. Strong roots.
After scanning the surrounding area, Qi Yue concluded that this should be the safest place in Wei Yu's secret realm - Evergreen Mountain. There are no monsters here and there are very few spiritual plants and elixirs.
Moreover, it is also the farthest from here to the misty forest where the fruits grow, so Qi Yue doesn't know whether her luck is good or bad.
Taking out a compass, Qi Yue began to punch in the keys. The spoon pointer on the compass rotated rapidly, and finally stopped at the northwest.
The anti-evil compass was specially developed for certain secret realms that can confuse monks' sense of direction, and Qi Yue has an additional function that is similar to treasure hunting in addition to identifying directions.
That is to say, it can detect places hundreds of kilometers away that are relatively rich in spiritual energy. Such places generally have no shortage of elixirs and plants.
After leaving Evergreen Mountain, there are still endless mountains outside, but they are a bit more lively than the Evergreen Mountain behind them.
From time to time, you can hear the roar of monsters and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
The chirping of birds was much less, and there was also a faint mixed smell in the air - the smell of rancidity, grass, flowers, or fishy smell.
The indescribable taste, coupled with the scorching heat, makes people feel tense immediately.
The Fire Cloud Whip in Qi Yue's hand has transformed into her hand, and her figure is constantly moving through the woods.
In the blink of an eye, snakes, beasts or demonic plants hiding in the trees will wait for opportunities to sneak attack.
However, they were instantly pulled back by the Fire Cloud Whip in Qi Yue's hand. Her whip was so fast that the monster's sneak attack was opened before it even touched her body.
Because none of the monsters here have broken through to the second level, it is very easy for Qi Yue to deal with them with his cultivation in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But this was only temporary, Qi Yue knew very well.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later.
Just when Qi Yue discovered a few saprophytic grasses not far away, she just walked towards it when she heard a crackling sound in the air.
The long black shadow above his head shone down, and Qi Yue's consciousness could only see part of the monster's body, but a chill immediately came out of his heart.
Ghost-eyed spider!
The monster has a body similar to that of a modern centipede, with countless small eyes on its abdomen, but it can spit out poisonous threads like a spider.
It is also considered an extremely difficult monster to deal with among the second-level monsters.
But fortunately, Qi Yue has an innate fire spirit root. From a certain aspect, she has a certain advantage in dealing with this poisonous monster.
Not to mention, Qi Yue still harbors strange fire.
So after fighting for more than ten breaths, Qi Yue burned the ghost-eyed spider with a burst of fire.
A darkness was left underground, but part of the poisonous spider silk nearby was still preserved due to Qi Yue's deliberate avoidance.
The silk of this ghost-eyed spider is also a good material for weapon refining, and the eyes on its abdomen. If it weren't so disgusting, Qi Yue would be able to sell a lot of spiritual stones if he picked it out.
These eyes have always been a must-have accessory for those monks who practice illusion.
