In the mountain behind Hanling City, inside a waterfall cave
Deeper into the cave, the light gradually dims. Wisps of dampness and coldness were approaching, but for Qiye, who had survived the extreme cold in the snowy area, this coldness was simply refreshing, cool, comfortable and pleasant.
Qiye walked carefully and slowly, his eyes bright, dispelling the gloom. As I walked, I looked around: the cave was not particularly spacious, like a room. The uneven and hard rock formations formed a long and winding path. Looking for the familiar route in my memory, Qiye walked forward without any confusion and knew the road well...
The ground is wet and slippery with rocks, so be careful when traveling. The path twists and turns for about a hundred meters. Qiye walked to the middle of the cave. The light here was cut off, it was cold and gloomy... The passage bifurcated into three separate paths. If ordinary people came here, they would definitely make a careful decision, but Qiye did not. Without stopping, he walked naturally and continuously towards the hole as high as a door on the far right.
After entering this cave, Qiye became very energetic. Although he had long known that this cave entrance was the only correct way to survive, Han Qi remembered that Han Qi was suspicious by nature and sought stability in everything, so he still set up many secret doors to prevent others from entering by mistake. In addition, the cave is almost completely dark, so the mechanisms hidden in every corner are even more deadly. Qiye blew the fire fold and moved carefully step by step, following the route of memory, confirming the proper placement of each step.
Looking at the poisonous arrows waiting to be fired in the dark corner of the rock wall, the cold gleaming sharp knife above my head, and the spiritual trap buried under my feet, I felt a palpitating feeling of walking on the tip of a knife, and the panic lingered... Every day for seven nights Taking a step forward cautiously, he felt his vest become wet. Although it was cold and damp inside the cave, after just a short step of more than ten meters, my vest was already soaked through.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Controlling his breathing tightly, Qiye kept hinting to himself. Don't dare to breathe loudly, even if you already know very well how to land, but when you actually lift your legs to step out, you are still walking on thin ice...
The path in the middle of the cave was only a few dozen meters long, but it took Qiye more than double the time to walk the previous section. When they walked out of the dangerous passage, a dim yellow light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tunnel ahead.
"There is light!" Seeing this scene, Qiye's hanging heart finally settled down, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace towards the dim light.
Turning the corner of the cave, a stone door more than two meters high appeared in front of Qiye. There is a fluorescent oil lamp on each side of the stone gate. If you look carefully, there is half a bowl of lamp oil in the oil bowl. What is surprising is that there is no wick in the oil lamp, just a cluster of flames the size of winter jujubes. , suspended above the lamp oil and burning quietly...
Qiye approached the stone door ignoring everything around him and pressed his rough little hands against it. There is no decoration on the stone door. It is extremely smooth, cold and heavy. No matter how hard the force pushes it, it won't move at all. Looking closely, there is a pattern the size of a lotus leaf on the inner layer of the stone door, with countless dim lines forming a complex pattern.
This is the auxiliary spiritual formation engraved on the door: Palace Lock! As a uniquely identifiable 'anti-theft device', it requires the soul of the person who installed it to open it.
"Great Protector, let me lend you the Black Demon Flame!" Perhaps because of what the Great Protector said before, Qiye asked directly without wasting time. Now that Han Qi is dead, without his life soul as the key, this door is like the door of death.
"Oh, now that you know how to borrow the power of this Great Protector, you are not too stupid!" the Great Protector said quietly in the Huntian Wheel.
After Qiye listened silently, he raised his right palm without protesting and mobilized the black demonic flames in his body. Wisps of black demonic flames spurted out from the palm of his hand and gently pressed against the cold stone door. The black demonic flames burned along the special spiritual formation lines on the door like a tarsal bone area. In a moment, the complex spiritual formation on the stone door completely emerged.
"According to the human race rating, this is a third-level auxiliary spiritual formation, consisting of 500 formation lines. It is a bit more powerful than the one outside, equivalent to the 'late stage battle ax level'." In the Huntian Wheel, Qiye has been paying attention The great protector of progress suddenly explained.
"Can the black demon flame be broken?" After listening to the Great Protector's brief explanation, Qiye directly asked the question he was most concerned about.
"You brat, you underestimate the Black Demon Flame too much. Not to mention this small third-level spiritual formation, even if it is Level 4, 5 or even 6, the Black Demon Flame can still be broken. It's just that now the Black Demon Flame is affected by you. Due to the influence of strength limitations, it will take some time to break this spiritual formation..." The Great Protector said angrily in the Huntian Wheel.
"How long will it take?" Qiye still spoke briefly.
"About ten breaths." The Great Protector estimated with anger still lingering.
"I wonder what this spiritual formation does?" Qiye underestimated in his heart, seeming to be interested in the spiritual formation on the stone gate.
"This is considered a third-level advanced spiritual formation. It doesn't have much use. It can only be used as a treasure seal, and it can return twice the amount of forced attacks below the 'war spirit level' to the attacker." The Great Protector said. To look down upon.
"What! Attacks below the 'War Spirit Level' will be returned twice as much!" Qiye screamed in horror. Only after inheriting other people's memories did he understand the level of strength of cultivators. So far, the one with the highest strength I have seen is the 'Fighting Spirit Level'.
Suddenly, Qiye felt a chill in his back. If he continued to attack recklessly like before, his arm would not be broken. The spiritual formation, which was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Great Protector, was simply an insurmountable high wall for Qiye, who was now at the 'elementary eighth level'.
Spiritual arrays are spiritual traps constructed by spiritual array masters through spiritual consciousness and spiritual power arrays. They have different functions such as attack, defense, confusion, and containment of enemies. The levels of human spiritual arrays are divided into: from low to high: Level 1-8.
While sighing, the black demonic flames had burned and devoured all the formation patterns on the stone door. Looking at the gradually dimming light and shadow on the stone door, Qiye could not hide his excitement. After all, he was still young, and while his little face was excited, a pattern that was exactly the same as the spirit formation on the stone gate appeared in the void in the spirit world.
"Hey, what's going on?" Sensing the patterns emerging out of thin air in the spiritual world, Qiye screamed in surprise.
"I'm really ignorant. This is the spiritual formation that was just swallowed by the black demonic flames. It's just that now the spiritual formation is seriously damaged and the spiritual light is dim. It can barely be used once." In the Huntian Wheel, the Great Protector looked down upon it.
"Oh, that's it." After listening to the Great Protector's story, Qiye, who had become numb to the heaven-defying devouring power of the black demonic flames, had an expression of 'I see.'
Without paying much attention, Qiye turned his attention to the stone door again. Now that the spiritual formation has been broken, all that's left is to use all your strength to push it away.
Qiye planted his feet firmly, his body shook, and his palms pressed against the stone door. More than 14,000 spiritual stars in the spiritual world were shining with all their strength at this moment.
In an instant, Qiye yelled "Open!", exerted force with both hands, and the two stone doors retreated faintly. The thick stone door seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and Qiye's face turned red from the pain. After much effort, the stone door was finally pushed open through a narrow crack. Although the door gap is small, it is more than enough for Qiye, who is already thin and thin.
After successfully using up his strength, Qiye turned sideways and entered the treasure cave very smoothly...
The cave is like a temple with a high ceiling and wide open space. Several oil lamps around the corners give the entire cave a suitable light. Countless spiritual stones and gold vessels were piled randomly on the ground, four to five meters high, like several hills. In the middle of the cave, several simple nanmu fragrant pear shelves are neatly placed with a dazzling array of treasures: rolls of simple and dusty scrolls of martial arts, artifacts of different shapes, and well-sealed jade boxes. ...
These artifacts emit colorful auras, ranging from red to purple. A discerning person will know at a glance that these things are of extraordinary value. For Qiye, who had never seen a treasure before, it was a feast for the eyes.
In the middle compartment of the shelf, there are three exquisite jade boxes the size of bricks. Among such a dazzling array of treasures, it looks gentle and calm. Qiye stepped forward steadily and carefully looked at each neatly organized and valuable treasure. By reading Han Qi’s past memories, Qiye knew that when Han Qi took him as the lord of Hanling City, he spent his life searching for and accumulating treasures. He did not store them personally in the spiritual ring, but safely placed them in two different places:
One is in the underground palace under the main palace of Hanling City. As a resource consumption for the entire Hanling City's foundation reserve and strength improvement, that treasure house is now very likely to be discovered by Wolf Guards. The other one is the cave here, to prevent yourself from losing power in the future and have a chance to make a comeback.
As the saying goes: eggs cannot be put in the same basket. However, no matter how hard Han Qi racked his brains, he would never have thought that his cunning plan would actually greatly benefit a young man of just a few years old. Let Qiye jump from a poor pauper to a wealthy high roller. The sudden sight of wealth made Qiye dumbfounded and lingered in it like a dream.
"Idiot! Why are you standing there in such a daze? Why don't you just pack your things and leave!" The obsessed Qiye was woken up by the Great Protector scolding him. Blinking his dizzy eyes, Qiye quickly regained his composure. With a touch of space in his right hand, a golden spiritual ring was held in his hand.
"Take it!" The spirit ring was activated, and a peaceful golden light scattered out. The golden light passed by, and rows of treasures were instantly put into the spirit ring. In just a dozen breaths, the originally dazzling array of spiritual stones and treasures piled up like mountains were easily put into the spirit ring by Qiye. The spiritual rings that originally had a hundred square meters of storage space were filled to the brim in an instant. After neatly sweeping and packing all the treasures, Qiye checked again and made sure nothing was missing before he turned around and floated out of the cave door.
Qiye quickly evacuated along the route he came from. As soon as he walked out of the maze of the cave, "Boom!!!" a loud noise came from outside the cave. The whole cave shook violently and seemed to be about to collapse. Qiye was caught off guard during his quick steps, and his body became unstable and he suddenly fell to the ground. .
"What was released?" Qiye asked immediately after trying to stand up and stabilize his swaying body.
"Hurry up and hide! There is a strong force outside. With your current strength, you are no match!" Inside the Hun Tian Wheel, the Great Protector said with rare solemnity.
Unexpectedly, his previous movements attracted attention so quickly, and Qiye was also surprised. Judging from the loud noise just now, the enemy has probably broken through the barrier behind the water curtain. After a series of possibilities flashed through his mind, Qiye quickly retreated into the maze passage behind him.
At this moment, it was impossible to rush out. The only way to escape this disaster was to use the dark light in the cave, the intricate paths of the maze, and the gaps in the rock walls to hide themselves. This is the only effective rescue method that Qiye can think of at the moment. When it comes to hiding the aura, the Hunyuan Refining Realm is naturally the biggest reliance. The aura is not leaking at all, just like an ordinary mortal. However, the enemy is naturally not stupid, and those who can enter the cave are not real ordinary people. Qiye hides in the darkness with fear.
