Yuanjing died in a zombie siege during the apocalypse. To gain a chance at rebirth and rewrite his life,
Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.
...Chapter 745
Ao Xiaojin quickly moved in and out of the yellow sand, and soon caught a scorpion-like insect beast with bared fangs and claws and returned to Yuan Jing. The shell of this insect seemed very hard just by looking at its appearance, and its scorpion tail was sharp and poisonous, and a fishy smell wafted out. It might not be a big deal if it was stung by one sting, but what about hundreds or thousands of poisonous scorpions?
Yuan Jing reached out and knocked on the poisonous scorpion that was bound by the immortal power and could not move. The shell was really hard. Yuan Jing tested how much effort it would take to knock open the insect's shell. Finally, he threw the poisonous scorpion that he had knocked to death back into the sand. After a few rustling sounds, he dragged the dead scorpion down and started to eat it.
"Brother Yuan, what do you want to do?" Qin Zichuan looked puzzled.
Yuan Jing kindly answered, "I'm thinking of a way to leave this damn place. Master Qin doesn't really want to fight with these countless poisonous insects, does he?"
"Of course not. It would be best if there was a way to leave. Otherwise, if I'm not killed by the poisonous insects, I'll be sunburned to death first." Qin Zichuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the sky with lingering fear. The sun in the sky was too poisonous. If it stayed hot for a while longer, he felt that fire poison would be generated in his body.
Yue Chenchu said on behalf of Yuan Jing, "Because Yuan Jing discovered that the energy here is special, the shells of these poisonous insects are so strong because of the environment and energy here. This energy can be greatly utilized. Besides, the energy here has reached a balance. Maybe if we break this balance, we can find a way to leave."
"Really? How to break it?" Qin Zichuan asked in surprise.
Yue Chenchu smiled and didn't continue talking, but looked at Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing stretched out his hands as if hugging someone. At this time, sandworms emerged one by one under the yellow sand. Looking down, one could see many black spots, which made people dizzy. These poisonous insects were also smart. After realizing that they could not reach the monks above, they began to pile up with a rustling sound. After a while, a small hill was piled up below, getting closer and closer to Yuan Jing and his companions who were in the low sky.
Yuan Jing still closed his eyes to feel the situation outside. Suddenly, Qin Zichuan felt an energy storm rising around him, and Yuan Jing himself became the eye of the energy storm. He looked at Yuan Jing suddenly with a look of shock.
Yes, Yuan Jing turned himself into the eye of the storm. The energy around him quickly gathered and swarmed into his body. He was not only the eye of the storm, but also turned into a black hole. It seemed that no amount of energy could fill his body.
"How is this possible?"
"What's impossible? What a fuss." Ao Xiaojin and Sanwei looked down on Qin Zichuan, who was surprised by everything. Then, they and Yue Chenchu attacked the poisonous insects that were running up. They killed the insects and fell down one by one, but there were still more insects crawling up from behind, which looked extremely terrifying.
Qin Zichuan was just shocked and hurried to kill the bugs, so that they would not disturb Yuan Jing. It turned out that his so-called destruction of balance was carried out in this way. But could Yuan Jing really digest such a rough and hot energy? Wouldn't he burst himself?
Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu had discovered long ago that Yuan Jing's body was actually no different from a black hole. After his body merged with the small world, the so-called spiritual root attributes were a joke. They had no attributes at all, or he could transform them into whatever attributes you wanted. This led to him being able to absorb any kind of energy, accepting none.
The energy here has one benefit, which is that it is extremely helpful in tempering the body. This was the result of examining the scorpion's shell. So Yuan Jing unscrupulously opened his small world to devour the energy here, while using the energy purified and transformed by the small world to temper his own body.
The energy storm was growing bigger and stronger. Now, there was no need for Yue Chenchu and his men to take action against the army of poisonous insects that kept coming. Those that were close were swept into the storm, and those that were far away quickly dived back under the yellow sand. They dared not show their heads again until the storm stopped.
Even Yue Chenchu and the others had to stay away from Yuan Jing. Qin Zichuan was watching in horror. If this continued, wouldn't the person really be blown to pieces?
The water mirror outside scanned various places in the secret realm. It now scanned the desert area that they had previously ignored. When they were about to pass by, several people said, "Wait, what's going on here? What are those little guys doing?"
"Huh? Are you absorbing the energy in the desert? Can you absorb it this way? From what I know, the energy in there is very violent and hot. Aren't you afraid that you will end up being burned to death by fire poison all over your body?"
"Eh? Isn't that guy the three-tailed fox from the fox tribe? So he is here, but why didn't he move with the fox tribe, but followed a few people?"
The cultivators from the Dragon and Fox tribes were also shocked. It was clearly Yuan Jing who was at the center of the storm. What was this guy doing?
And just as Yuan Jing said, when the energy balance is broken, perhaps it is time for them to leave this desert environment. Energy storms surrounded him like a giant dragon. Suddenly, a black hole appeared above him, and the black hole grew bigger and bigger. Yuan Jing, who had closed his eyes to absorb the energy, finally opened his eyes and looked towards the black hole in the sky. What emanated from it was extremely pure fairy spirit.
"See? That's the way out, let's go!" Yuan Jing shouted.
"It's actually true, thank you!" Qin Zichuan didn't delay and quickly flew towards the black hole. Sanwei and Ao Xiaojin quickly followed. Yue Chenchu flew to the black hole and waited for Yuan Jing. Yuan Jing swallowed up all the energy gathered around him in one breath and rushed towards Yue Chenchu. As soon as they entered the black hole, the black hole shrank violently and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The desert returned to its original state, still with scorching sun and yellow sand, but to people looking at it, the color seemed to be a little lighter, and the sun was not as hot as before. However, later people who entered this desert would never notice the difference.
The huge water mirror outside was frozen in the desert. Many people were stunned when they saw it. It was not until the group of people disappeared completely that an Immortal Emperor shouted, "Quick, check where they went and where the black hole leads to."
Several Immortal Emperors who controlled the water mirrors immediately took action. The images in the water mirrors switched back and forth, but they searched everywhere they could and found no trace of them.
"Could it be that... they have already entered the inner layer of the secret realm in advance?"
"How is this possible? Doesn't the inner layer only open when the time limit is reached?"
"But apart from the inner layer, how could we not be able to find their location? Think about it, the Yuxu Secret Realm has been opened so many times, has anyone used the same method to escape as them? Maybe the Yuxu Secret Realm opened a passage specifically for them."
The Immortal Emperors did not refute this view, because they were inclined to believe that these people had entered the inner layer. They did not know which point of the secret realm was touched, and several Immortal Emperors asked at the same time: "Whose family are those guys from? Did anyone recognize them?"
"Go check and see who those monks are."
"Okay, I'll check it right away." Immediately, a subordinate took the order to check the identities of these people.
The results were delivered very quickly, because someone had recognized Fox Three-Tail's face a long time ago. After all, he had been in the fairy world for more than three thousand years, and because he often sneaked out to cause trouble for the Shao family, he came into the eyes of many forces. Everyone usually just watched the fun, but they didn't expect that this time Fox Three-Tail would lose face in front of all the forces in the fairy world, which was much more interesting than the previous trouble he caused for the Shao family.
The fox clan was also very confused. No one had expected such a result. It could only be said that they knew too little about the cultivator Yuan Jing. No wonder Fox Three Tail and Little Golden Dragon were always thinking about him. They underestimated this cultivator.
"Great Elder, they are all checking the identities of Fellow Daoist Yuan and the others, and they have also recognized Sanwei."
The chief elder of the fox tribe said, "Just recognize it if you want. It will be exposed sooner or later. It doesn't matter."
Anyway, those who were recognized are all outside, and the cultivators inside don’t have the clairvoyance to know the situation of Yuan Jing and the others. It will be too late to know when they come out of the secret realm ten years later.
The great elder of the Dragon Clan almost jumped out of his seat, feeling the same as the Fox Clan. He realized that he had still underestimated that human cultivator. Seeing how he was madly devouring energy, even the Dragon Clan wouldn't dare to do that. Could it be that his body could rival that of a Dragon Clan?
After hearing that the Immortal Emperors of other fairy realms were trying every means to investigate the identities of Yuan Jing and others, Ao Liqing felt it necessary to explain. Anyway, no matter how big the commotion outside was, it would not affect the secret realm.
Therefore, Ao Liqing first exchanged glances with the fox clan elder, then coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, those little guys, it just so happens that I know those old guys."
"No, I should ask the fox tribe. Everyone in the fox tribe should be very clear about their identities, otherwise they would not let the fox three tails follow them."
The chief elder of the fox clan smiled and nodded: "Yes, not only the three-tailed fox of our fox clan, but even the little golden dragon of the dragon clan is there. How could you not recognize it? This is the fault of the dragon clan, they hid it so deeply."
Ao Liqing rolled his eyes. At this time, they were still dragging the dragon clan into the water. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't confront them, right?
Ao Liqing complained in his heart, but he made an agreeing expression on his face: "Yes, the most active child among them is from our dragon clan. We have no choice. Fox Three Tail and the children of our clan are related to that person. They insist on acting with them. We have no choice but to let them do what they want."
Several Immortal Emperors understood. After all, Fox Three Tail's excitement was not in vain. "So among those few cultivators, there is the master of the lower world that Fox Three Tail has been looking for? After Fox Three Tail, he received another little golden dragon? He sent it back to the dragon clan after coming to the Immortal Realm?"
Ao Liqing twitched his lips and said, "That's roughly the situation."
The eyes of several Immortal Emperors lit up after hearing this, and they carefully inquired about the names of the cultivators. Just from a few simple sentences and their performance in the secret realm just now, it can be seen that the luck of these cultivators is extremely high. Just think about it, before the appearance of the little golden dragon, there was no other golden dragon in the vast immortal world, but those few people cultivated it and sent it back to the dragon clan.
Even the three-tailed fox has the blood of a nine-tailed fox, and has now cultivated a true nine-tailed body.
Now he has been the first to enter the inner layer of the secret realm. Isn’t such good fortune eye-catching enough?
"Qin Zichuan? This name and appearance seem familiar." An Immortal Emperor muttered.
A cultivator not far away touched his chin and said sheepishly, "Qin Zichuan is exactly my disappointing son. He has been hanging out outside all day and hasn't come back for a long time."
Everyone turned around and saw that this person was Qin Rong, the person in charge of Tianji Pavilion, a cunning guy, but he was also very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to open Tianji Pavilion throughout the fairy world without offending anyone.
"So it's you, Emperor Qin. That means you, Tianji Pavilion, already knew everything about these guys. And your son wasn't sent to them by you, was he?" An Emperor Qin said sarcastically.
Qin Rong touched his chin and smiled, "No, no, these are friends that my kid met while he was training outside. He felt that he got along well with his friends, so he continued to get along with them. Even I couldn't call him back. The Tianji Pavilion does know something about the situation of these two little Taoist friends."
"What are you waiting for, old man? Do we have to pay the Tianji Pavilion immortal stones to know their identities?"
"Haha, no, no, Tianji Pavilion is a small business." After laughing, Qin Rong told the simple information of Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu. Of course, this information was only superficial. Even Tianji Pavilion itself was still guessing about the deeper level, so it could not be counted, but what was shown on the surface was also surprising.
For example, Qin Rong said that Yuan Jing was a mortal born in the fairyland, and later used special methods to build a Taoist foundation for himself, and since then he has soared into the sky. Therefore, the business partner of Tianji Pavilion in recent years in transforming the qualifications of mortals is this Taoist friend Yuan Jing. Of course, how he was the owner of the three-tailed dragon but was born in the fairyland, and how he got the little golden dragon, Qin Rong himself could not explain the truth, so he could only let the listeners guess for themselves.
After hearing this, the Immortal Emperors exchanged glances with each other. Now they were sure that the Ascended Cultivator that the Shao family was looking for with such a big fuss was actually the one born in the Immortal Realm. Was this a reincarnation to the Immortal Realm, or was it a possession of another's body? But if it was a possession of another's body, wouldn't others be able to detect it?
No matter what the situation is, this time Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu have caught the attention of these big guys and become their main focus.
The Shao family was also startled by this scene. They recognized Three-Tailed Fox at a glance. Seeing that Three-Tailed Fox was so close to the human cultivator, a guess came to their minds. The ascended cultivator that Shao Lu had always wanted to find had actually come to the fairyland a long time ago, and the Shao family was kept in the dark. No wonder there had been no movement from Three-Tailed Fox of the fox clan in the past twenty years. They thought that Three-Tailed Fox had made enough trouble and was unwilling to make any more trouble. It turned out that he had found his master.
Everyone in the Shao family who is close to Shao Lu knows what is going on between Shao Lu and the Three-Tailed Master. The Three-Tailed Master is Shao Lu's biological son who was reincarnated in the lower world. They are obviously father and son, but they ended up fighting each other with swords. However, Shao Lu, who entered the secret realm, is completely unaware of this at the moment. The Shao family members who have a vested interest in Shao Lu can only worry, but have no way to notify Shao Lu to be on guard.
