"Don't be afraid, he's my senior brother. As long as I'm here, he won't hurt you," Ye Feng comforted him.

Lu Yao hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

Li Kuang had originally planned to leave, but after hearing what Chang Qingyue had just said, he actually followed her.

"Chang Qingyue, you just said that demonic arts have weaknesses. What do you mean by that?" Li Kuang asked.

Night Wind also wanted to know the answer to this question, so it looked towards Evergreen Moon.

As Chang Qingyue walked, she said, "Whether it's the White Bone Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, or the Nine Ghosts Sect, they all cultivate themselves by absorbing the essence of other martial artists' bodies. Although this method of cultivation makes the physical body stronger and the martial arts strength more powerful, it has a very serious impact on the soul."

"Because absorbing the essence of another's body will inevitably introduce impurities, thus making the soul less pure."

"Therefore, the best way to deal with the warriors of the White Bone Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, and the Nine Ghosts Sect is to attack their souls."

Li Kuang stroked his beard and said, "There aren't many techniques and martial arts that attack the soul. Do you know any?"

“Of course I can. My Extinction Sword Scripture itself contains martial arts techniques that target the soul,” Chang Qingyue said.

Li Kuangwen was shocked: "The Extinction Sword Scripture? You actually cultivated the Extinction Sword Scripture!"

"What do you think?" Chang Qingyue said arrogantly.

Ye Feng also knew little about the Extinction Sword Scripture, so he asked, "Senior Brother, the Extinction Sword Scripture you cultivate is..."

"It is one of the three top-level techniques of our Xuanji Sect."

Chang Qingyue turned to Ye Feng and said, "Junior brother, the three top-level techniques of our Xuanji Sect are the Extinction Sword Scripture, the Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique, and the Great Dream True Technique."

"So the Starry Sky Sword Technique is also a top-tier technique of our Xuanji Sect." Ye Feng chuckled.

“That’s right, that’s why I recommended you practice the Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique,” ​​Chang Qingyue said with a smile.

The secret realm has come to an end.

Here was a spacious circular area with arrays on the ground, and an old man sat cross-legged in the center of the arrays.

The old man placed his hands, palms up, on his lap. He had a porcelain bottle in his right hand, but his left hand was empty.

"I don't know which senior passed away here. I pay my respects."

After speaking, Chang Qingyue bowed.

Seeing this, Ye Feng also bowed, and Lu Yao followed suit and bowed as well.

Li Kuang stroked his beard and asked, "This secret realm is a celestial realm. Could that old man be a Void Returning Realm expert?"

“How could that be? He’s dead now, and I can’t tell what realm he was in, but he definitely didn’t reach the Void Returning Realm,” Chang Qingyue said with great certainty.

After a pause, Chang Qingyue continued, "The previous leaders of our Xuanji Sect were all Void Returning Realm Immortals. I have seen their remains. Even after death, the bodies of Void Returning Realm Immortals are still lifelike, exactly the same as when they were alive."

“But the old man in front of me has become a dried corpse, so he definitely hasn’t reached the Void Returning Realm.” Li Kuang suddenly realized.

Ye Feng looked at the old man's right hand and said, "The small porcelain bottle in his hand should contain pills. I'll go get it, and we'll split it equally."

"Wow! Wow!"

Li Kuang said, and then flew towards the old man impatiently.

But as soon as Li Kuang stepped onto the formation, he suddenly froze and fell from the sky, crashing to the ground unable to move.

"I'm imprisoned!" Li Kuang shouted.

The array on the ground had been activated at some point, and beams of light were flashing within its circuits.

It was obvious that the formation was working, trapping Li Kuang there and rendering him unable to move.

"You haven't even figured out the power of this formation, yet you rushed over to grab the pills. You really don't know what's going on with you," Chang Qingyue said coldly.

Li Kuang quickly said, "Senior Brother Chang, Brother Chang, I was wrong, please help me!"

Chang Qingyue ignored Li Kuang and turned to look at Ye Feng: "Junior brother, you are knowledgeable, do you recognize this formation?"

Ye Feng observed carefully for a while before saying, "This is the Earth Element Revolving Array, which can use the power of the earth's veins to achieve a sealing effect."

"How do we crack it?" Chang Qingyue asked.

"The key to the formation is beneath that mummified corpse; to break it, we must go there," Ye Feng said.

Chang Qingyue frowned slightly.

To get to the location of that mummified corpse, you either have to teleport there, walk there, or fly there.

However, if you walk or fly over there, you will be sealed by the Earth Element Revolving Array.

The skill of teleportation can only be used when one reaches the Divine Travel Realm.

Chang Qingyue is currently at the peak of the True Essence Realm, while Ye Feng is equivalent to a martial artist in the Separation and Union Realm. Neither of them has the ability to teleport.

"It seems we have no choice but to force our way in," Chang Qingyue said.

"Be careful," Ye Feng cautioned.

Chang Qingyue circulated her true energy and stepped onto the Earth Element Rotation Array, immediately feeling heavy pressure coming from all directions.

The pressure was incredibly strong; he felt as if his body was about to be crushed.

Chang Qingyue knelt down on one knee with a thud and didn't get up for a long time.

However, as time went by, the fluctuations of true energy emanating from Chang Qingyue's body grew stronger and stronger. He finally got up from the ground little by little and walked step by step toward the mummified corpse.

Ten meters.

Nine meters.

Eight meters.

Chang Qingyue got closer and closer to the mummified corpse, but the closer she got to the core of the formation, the stronger the pressure from the surrounding area became.

Under this immense pressure, Chang Qingyue's face turned red, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Senior brother, if it really doesn't work out, we can retreat. We don't necessarily have to get the pills," Ye Feng said.

"I'll try again."

Chang Qingyue gritted her teeth and continued walking towards the mummified corpse.

Seven meters.

Six meters.

Five meters.

Chang Qingyue was now closer to the mummified corpse, but the pressure she was under was several times greater than before.

His body surface was covered with bulging blood vessels, some of which even ruptured and turned into clumps of bright red blood mist.

"He won't die, will he?" Lu Yao asked, somewhat frightened.

"Don't worry, it won't happen," Ye Feng said earnestly.

Although he said that, Ye Feng was also worried for Chang Qingyue.

Chang Qingyue was covered in blood, but it wasn't very noticeable because he was dressed in black.

However, a strong smell of blood had already filled the air around them.

Three meters.

Two meters.

One meter.

Chang Qingyue finally crossed the last three meters and grabbed the small porcelain bottle from the mummified corpse's hand.

As Chang Qingyue snatched the porcelain bottle, the mummified corpse immediately collapsed and dissipated, turning into dust.

Chang Qingyue swung her sword, destroying the key element of the formation.

As a result, the array circuits on the Earth Element Revolving Array dimmed, and the light within disappeared.
