Three months passed in a flash.

Just north of Jinguang Mountain, about to leave the southwest cultivation world, there are 100,000 mountains. The mountains are surrounded by miasma and monsters are rampant. This is the primitive cultivation world, rarely visited by people. The monsters living here are mostly uncivilized monsters, mainly beasts, and there are very few monsters who have opened their spiritual intelligence.

Two streams of light streaked across the sky.

One blue and one silver.

The leader had gray hair and a stern face, with a black long sword on his back. The other one wore a green robe with long fluttering sleeves, looking like a tourist who came here for an outing.

"Greetings to the two seniors."

Three female cultivators stood on the platform at the entrance of the cave and bowed to the two people falling from the sky. These three women were the three Zhu Yu sisters who had received Chen Luo and Zi Tianji outside the exchange meeting.

At this moment, the three of them looked at the two people in front of them cautiously.

Zhu Yu, who was in the lead, felt the hot jade pendant in his hand and was shocked.

Both of them are Venerable Fanxu!

This is different from what I saw three months ago. Before, I thought that the man in green at the back had hidden his cultivation level. Now it seems that the Yuanying old monster who was standing in the front at the beginning also hid his cultivation level.

"Why are you guys here again?"

These two people were Chen Luo and Zi Tianji who were invited.

"We three sisters are the registered disciples of the Venerable. We are responsible for all the reception tasks here." Zhu Yu replied cautiously.

"Please come in, both of you."

Zhu Li who was standing next to them also sensed the aura of the two people. She turned sideways and led the two people into the cave.

Chen Luo looked at the cave in front of him.

From the outside, this was just an inconspicuous cave in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. But after a closer look, he discovered that the interior of the cave was filled with a large number of restrictions, a large part of which he had never seen before.

Formations and restrictions are inseparable at a low level.

Restrictions are related to many fields, such as talismans, formations, refining equipment, etc. However, starting from the Return to Void Realm, restrictions were separated from many skills. Ancient cultivators who mastered powerful restrictions were not necessarily formation masters or talisman masters, but powerful talisman masters and formation masters must have mastered powerful restriction techniques.

As you walk into the cave, a strange wave of water passes by your feet.

What I saw was not a dark rock passage, but a huge space. The interior was like another world, full of various exotic trees and flowers. The abundance of spiritual energy was several times that of the outside, reaching the level of the fourth-order spiritual vein.

This is not the era of the later Corpse Immortal Dao. In this period of time, the fourth-level spiritual vein is a spiritual place that all Taoist sects have to fight for. The Five Elements Patriarch, with such a high status, only occupies a fourth-level spiritual vein. Relying on this spiritual vein, he integrated the entire southwest cultivation world into his own hands, and made a lot of money by selling caves.

There were three people sitting next to the strange tree. When Chen Luo and Zi Tianji came in, the three people who were talking stopped at the same time and turned their heads.

The divine consciousness probed over.

"snort!"

Zi Tianji took a step forward, the spiritual sword behind him trembled slightly, and sword energy rushed up into the sky, instantly cutting the consciousness of the three people into two.

Return to the Void Sword Cultivator?

The three people's expressions changed slightly.

The Return to Void realm is not scary, what is scary is the Return to Void sword cultivator. Everyone knows that sword cultivators are fools, and they will fight to the death if they disagree with each other. They are the most difficult group to provoke in the world of immortal cultivation. If a Return to Void sword cultivator draws his sword, someone will definitely die in the fight.

"I didn't expect that you are a Return to Void Sword Cultivator. I was negligent before."

The figure of the Five Elements Patriarch gradually became solid like a phantom, and earth-based spiritual power gathered from the ground. By the time he took three steps, the body of the Five Elements Patriarch had become completely solid, just like a real person.

"I came here uninvited, I hope you won't blame me, old ancestor."

Zi Tianji restrained his breath and said with a cold expression.

"You are too polite, fellow Daoist."

The Five Elements Patriarch smiled, glanced at Chen Luo behind Zi Tianji, and gestured with his hand.

"This way, please."

Chen Luo nodded, and walked to the seat next to him and sat down with Zi Tianji.

When the Five Elements Patriarch discussed the profit sharing with him, he had said that the two of them would each take 30%, and the remaining 40% would be taken by others. The three people next to him should be the "others", but I don't know if there are any other people.

"I don't know the two Taoist friends. I wonder which immortal mountain you usually practice in."

The woman among the three 'others' asked curiously.

This female cultivator looked to be in her twenties, with a graceful figure and peach-like eyes. Her eyebrows were full of seductiveness, and the small black mole at the corner of her mouth was like an embellishment, making her look even more attractive.

"Who are you?"

Zi Tianji glanced at the other person and responded coldly.

He was very clear about his position. Chen Luo brought him here this time just to attract attention. It was because he understood this that he put on such a cold attitude from the beginning, as if he would draw his sword and kill someone if he disagreed with him.

"I am You Zhao from the Three Immortals Cave, and my Taoist name is Qingping Sanren."

The immortal cultivators of this era are very different from the "corpse immortals" of later generations. Every immortal cultivator has his own Taoist name and his own immortal mountain cave where he practices. Even if he is a casual cultivator, he has his own place to learn skills and become an apprentice.

Unlike later generations, the entire world of cultivating immortals was in chaos, with people digging up corpses to cultivate their own way and evil magic everywhere.

"I am Zi Guang! I am a wanderer, my Taoist name is Sword Maniac."

Zi Tianji is also an old fox who has been practicing for more than two thousand years, and he can use a pseudonym and Taoist name casually.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zi Guang."

You Zhao ignored the Taoist name Zi Tianji gave himself. A Taoist name like "Sword Maniac" was not credible at first glance. Nine out of ten sword cultivators in the world were sword maniacs. This kind of trait could not possibly be a Taoist name.

"Fellow Daoist You is the master of illusion. If we want to enter that place this time, we cannot do without your help." The Five Elements Patriarch said with a smile on his face.

Anyone who can take away 40% of the profits from the Five Elements Patriarch is naturally not a simple person.

"These two are Fellow Daoist Zhu Chang and Fellow Daoist Gao Jie."

The Five Elements Patriarch briefly introduced the remaining two people. One of them was a formation master, and the other was a talisman master, both of whom were level six.

Then he introduced Chen Luo.

"This is Fellow Daoist Chen. Like me, he is at the late stage of Return to Void. If you encounter any troubles while entering the main tomb, you can leave them to us two to solve."

After hearing the introduction of the Five Elements Patriarch, the three of them simultaneously looked at Chen Luo. Gao Jie and Zhu Chang even had a hint of fear in their eyes.

Late stage of Return to Void!

There is only one Five Elements Patriarch in the entire southwest cultivation world, and now there is one more. What Zhu Chang and the other two don’t know is that whether it is the Five Elements Patriarch or Chen Luo, their true strength is more than just the late stage of Return to Void. Both of them have reached the peak of Return to Void. Especially Chen Luo, his own cultivation is only in the middle stage of Return to Void. But with the blessing of the perfect foundation, his strength is half a level stronger than the Five Elements Patriarch who is at the peak of Return to Void.

"We were just discussing how to break through the defenses of the 'Three-barreled Golden Bull'. With the addition of the two Taoists, we will definitely be able to break through this barrier in the shortest possible time and enter the core of the ruins."

You Zhao extended an invitation to Chen Luo and Zi Tianji with a smile on his face.

She was the only female cultivator in the field.

For her, the more chaotic the situation, the greater her advantage. Before, she was afraid that the Five Elements Ancestor would dominate the world, but now with Chen Luo as a check and balance, she has become much safer.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is of course no problem, but as for this fellow Daoist Zi Guang, I don't know what the meaning of his existence is."

Gao Jie suddenly spoke up.

His purpose was very clear, which was to drive Zi Tianji out. Zhu Chang next to him was also silent.

When it comes to interests, no one is willing to give in.

They both had the same idea.

Each of these people in the field has his own ability. You Zhao is an illusionist, the high-level one is a restriction, and Zhu Chang is a formation. Only Zi Tianji is the most ordinary. His swordsmanship may be very strong, but there are already two stronger swordsmen in the late stage of returning to the void in the field. In comparison, Zi Tianji, a swordsman in the early stage of returning to the void, really has no need to join.

It has no effect other than allocating more resources.

Zi Tianji glanced at Gao Ji, reached out to take the spiritual sword behind him, grasped the hilt with his right hand, and pulled it gently.

The sword blade is three inches away from the sheath.

The sword energy spread out like waves. In an instant, everyone present felt the cold sword intent, and all the distracting thoughts in their minds were annihilated at the moment the sword energy overflowed.

bass!

The sword was sheathed, Zi Tianji looked at Gao Jie and said in a cold voice.

"My sword can cut off all distracting thoughts in your mind!"

Gao Ji suddenly fell silent, looked at Zi Tianji with fear, and finally said nothing more. Zhu Chang beside him also suppressed his thoughts, but You Zhao looked at Zi Tianji with a little more fear in his eyes.

This kind of sword intent is the most effective in restraining her illusion.

"Since you all have no objections, let's start preparing. I spent a lot of money to get the information about the three levels of restrictions from the Ancient Sword Sect."

The Five Elements Patriarch seemed not to notice the little thoughts of the few people, and smiled as he distributed the jade slips in his hand.

You Zhao and the other two had already read the contents of the jade slip, and put it aside after receiving it. Chen Luo and Zi Tianji saw the information about the tomb for the first time.

According to the description on the jade slip, the outer restrictions of the tomb are divided into three layers.

The 'Three-pointed Golden Bull' mentioned by Zhao before is the outermost defensive puppet of the tomb. This puppet is made of purple jade essence all over, and has a large number of high-level prohibitions engraved inside.

It is immune to water and fire, and cannot be damaged by magical weapons.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of these puppets. It is very difficult for them to break through the defense of these puppets without alerting the Ancient Sword Sect.

The second and third floors have similar guards.

This group of people did not take the right path into the tomb, so they were bound to run into these guards.

"What were you planning to do before?"

Chen Luo put down the jade slip and looked at You Zhao who spoke first.

The information given by the Five Elements Patriarch was reserved, and the information on the second and third layers was very vague. But this was inevitable. It was a cooperative relationship. After entering the tomb, how much you can get depends on your personal means. The Five Elements Patriarch could not tell them all the information. (End of this chapter)
