Seeing that he didn't respond, Xiao Li said again: "Go back."

The swordsman of the Lingyue Sect came to his senses and said hurriedly, "Thank you for saving my life!" He practiced his energy for a while, and his face turned ugly - his golden elixir was really broken, so the loss of spiritual power could not be stopped. If he turned back now, he didn't know if he could return to the mainland by himself, but if he continued to move forward, it would undoubtedly be more dangerous.

Finally, the swordsman from the Lingyue sect chose to turn around and go back. Yi Xichen threw a handful of fire talismans to him and said, "Daoyou, take it!"

When spiritual power is insufficient, the fire-starting talisman can also start a fire, but its power is very weak and can only save an emergency but not a life. Lingyue sent the sword cultivator to thank him, and while his golden elixir was not completely destroyed and his spiritual power was still a little bit left, he quickly returned with the sword and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Yi Xichen glanced at Xiao Li and thought: He saved someone again! But why didn't he move when others were in danger just now? Does he save people based on his mood?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the voice of his eldest grandson Zijun coming from a spiritual connection: "There is a ghost aura about him."

"Ah?" Yi Xichen was surprised. "Ghostly energy? Could he be a ghost cultivator?"

They had never known Xiao Li's identity or the depth of his cultivation, but just when Xiao Li tried to treat the sword cultivator of the Lingyue School, the eldest grandson Zijun finally detected a trace of ghost energy from him.

Everyone else was busy with their own affairs, so of course no one would care about Xiao Li. Only Master Hong Yi glanced at Xiao Li warily, but didn't say anything.

The so-called ghost cultivation is that a living being will become a ghost after death. Human beings originally have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are the living soul, the spiritual soul, and the conscious soul, which respectively control the life, mind, and consciousness of the living being; the seven spirits are the corpse dog, the hidden arrow, the sparrow vagina, the swallowing thief, the non-poison, the cessation of filth, and the smelly lung, which control the seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire. After life and death, the living soul leaves the body, the spiritual soul and the conscious soul are broken, and the seven spirits may also be lost. Because ghosts have more or less lost part of their souls and spirits when they die, some have completely lost their memories of their previous lives, some have some memories left, some are crazy, and some only have one or two of the seven emotions left, and they only know sorrow and anger but not joy. The loss of different souls is easy or difficult. The most common ghosts often leave behind some souls and hidden spirits, and only remember the hateful, evil and hateful things they did in their lifetime. After cultivating the ghost way, they often seek revenge on their enemies in their lifetime. Such ghosts are regarded as debt collectors by the world.

However, if one loses all of his soul at the time of death, then he will not be qualified to become a ghost cultivator and can only become a corpse.

Yi Xichen looked at Xiao Li again, and his mood changed: Could it be that this person had died? What souls had he lost? Was this the reason why thunderstorms and evil spirits had no effect on him?

Finally, the number of evil spirits began to decrease gradually. The group fought and retreated. After the last invisible hand was burned away by the fire, people were still frightened. It was not until there were no more evil spirits for a long time that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

People looked at each other. Not to mention how miserable the survivors were, the number of people alone was already three less than before. These people were usually capable of standing on their own, but after entering the Void Realm, they were already like this at the very beginning...

However, after a moment of loss, everyone cheered up and continued to move forward.

As a Mahayana cultivator, Yuan Chendu, the master of the Void Sect, is already an earthly immortal. Apart from those immortals who have ascended to heaven, he is almost the most profound person in the land of cultivation. Most of the people present are Jindan cultivators. Jindan is a huge hurdle for ordinary people, and Mahayana is another huge hurdle for Jindan cultivators. The early, middle and late stages of Jindan cultivators are just the difference in cultivation, while the difference between Mahayana cultivators and Jindan cultivators is the difference in realm. Some of these cultivators present have encountered bottlenecks, and some are even about to face a heavenly calamity. They came here to ask Yuan Chendu for the Tao, and they all have the belief that they must obtain the Tao, and they have long been prepared to die.

After walking for a while, they saw several ferocious beasts swimming in the void sea ahead.

This sea of ​​nothingness is actually called nothingness. It originally has nothing in it. It does not produce humans, monsters, or spirits. It absorbs foreign things. Therefore, the souls of people who die in the sea of ​​nothingness will be eaten by the sea of ​​nothingness, and they cannot become ghosts or be reborn. After the sea of ​​nothingness absorbs foreign things, these things are refined in the sea of ​​nothingness for many years and become a brand new form.

For example, the evil spirits just now were condensed from the evil spirits of the deceased, and the ferocious beasts that appeared in front were monsters that absorbed a large amount of spiritual power from the void. Although they had spiritual bodies, they had no minds and were extremely ferocious.

Sure enough, as soon as those ferocious beasts sensed the breath of living people, they rushed towards the monks without saying a word!

Unfortunately, the poor monks have not yet recovered from the shadow of the evil, and have to face a group of powerful enemies once again.

The eldest grandson, Jun, said, "Give me your sword."

Yi Xichen immediately drew his sword and handed it to him.

The swords of sword cultivators are connected to the mind of their masters. Yi Xichen's sword is naturally driven by him. If it were used by the eldest grandson Jun, it would not be so easy. The eldest grandson Jun poured his sword energy into Yi Xichen's sword, but did not force Yi Xichen to break the connection with the sword. Instead, he said, "Southeast!"

Yi Xichen understood what he meant, and immediately drove his sword towards the ferocious beast in the southeast!

The sword pierced the beast's chest fiercely. It let out a deafening roar and then turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared into the sea of ​​nothingness!

Yi Xichen's sword originally did not have such power, but with the sword energy of his eldest grandson Jun, and when he controlled it, its power naturally became much stronger. The reason why the eldest grandson Jun did not control his own Cangyun Sword was because he had to use the sword to hold him and Yi Xichen together, so the Cangyun Sword could not be used in battle.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and killed three beasts in a short time, handling the chaotic battle with ease. However, others were not so lucky.

Sword cultivators had to use swords as boats to drift on the sea of ​​nothingness, and also use swords as weapons to attack the beasts, which was equivalent to mastering two techniques at the same time. The more agile ones could handle it by stepping on their precious swords to fight in the beast formation, but the cultivators with poor control over the swords would fall off the swords when they flew towards the beasts. The nameless power under the sea of ​​nothingness sucked them in, and the cultivators who fell off the swords were immediately swallowed by the nothingness.

As for the phantom sword, since the sword itself cannot be used as a weapon, its effect is greatly weakened. Even a Jindan cultivator cannot kill a ferocious beast with several swords. However, there are endless ferocious beasts here. When several ferocious beasts attack one person at the same time, that person will find it difficult to resist.

Gao Tianzhu hadn't even formed his golden elixir yet, so he was completely unable to cope with such a dangerous situation. He was completely dependent on Master Hong Yi's protection to barely survive.

However, no matter how high Master Hong Yi's cultivation was, he had to face so many ferocious beasts at the same time, and he had to fight with his sword and protect his disciples. He gradually became overwhelmed. He simply followed the example of Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun. He jumped onto Gao Tianzhu's sword and said, "Be careful with the sword!"

Gao Tianzhu was the eldest disciple of the world's number one sect, and with his master's protection, he blocked out all distracting thoughts and focused on his sword, and was able to advance steadily in the sea of ​​nothingness. The sword of Master Hong Yi was freed, and he threw himself into the battle with all his strength. The dangerous situation was immediately resolved, and he was finally safe.

Seeing this, other sword cultivators followed suit. Two people formed a pair, one defending the sword, and the other fighting the beasts with all his strength. The beasts here are indeed powerful, but those who come here are no longer ordinary people. If a beast can fight a Jindan sword cultivator to a draw, and there are countless beasts attacking at the same time, I am afraid that no one can get through this Void Sea. Therefore, although the beasts are fierce, if the sword cultivators can go all out, they can deal with it.

It’s just that most people don’t have the tacit understanding that Chang Sun Zijun and Yi Xichen have. Except for the master and disciple pair Gao Tianzhu and Hong Yi Zhenren, almost all the others started dealing with each other only after entering this Void Sea. It is inevitable that mistakes will be made when they cooperate to wield swords and kill enemies, so the situation is still full of dangers.

In contrast to the frantic movements of those people, Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Jun were relaxed. At the beginning, the eldest grandson Jun said a few words to express his feelings to Yi Xichen, but he hardly spoke again after that. Yi Xichen had fought side by side with him for ten years and knew his thoughts and habits like the back of his hand. The two of them were invincible among the ferocious beasts. Therefore, after killing the ferocious beasts, Yi Xichen even had the mind to observe Xiao Li for a while.

When they first entered the beast's territory, the beasts also attacked Xiao Li. However, that only lasted for a short while, and soon, the beasts began to ignore Xiao Li just like the thunderstorm and evil spirits before.

However, Yi Xichen soon found the reason this time - Xiao Li released his ghost energy. And his ghost energy was so strong that even Yi Xichen could feel it without his eldest grandson Zijun reminding him.

"Are there still evil spirits here?" a swordsman asked in horror.

Yi Xichen was able to sense it, and naturally other cultivators had also sensed the sudden ghost energy. However, they did not know where the ghost energy came from. Some of them thought that there was a powerful ghost in the ferocious beast formation, and they were frightened, and immediately the power of their swords was greatly weakened, and they were bitten by the ferocious beasts!

"Ah!" the man screamed. The beast tore off a piece of his flesh and skin, revealing the pale bones. The pain made him almost fall off the sword!

"Be careful!" Yi Xichen swung his sword at the beast's forehead, and the beast immediately disappeared.

"Zijun." Yi Xichen said.

"Don't worry, hold on tight." The eldest grandson Jun replied. He noticed that Yi Xichen had slowed down his attack and seemed to have other plans, so he stopped infusing his sword energy into Yi Xichen's sword and began to concentrate on controlling Cangyun.

Yi Xichen sheathed his sword, and the Cangyun Sword encircled the two of them, moving quickly back and forth in the beast formation. Wherever the sword passed, the beasts screamed and disappeared one by one into the sea of ​​nothingness. The eldest grandson, Zijun, and Yi Xichen stood very steadily on the sword, without even a sway.

Yi Xichen was now fully focused, and he handed over all the tasks of defending the sword and fighting to his eldest grandson Zijun. He took out a few substitute talismans from his bag, bit his finger, and used his blood to smear on the talisman paper and threw it out!

All the substitute talismans turned into Yi Xichen's appearance, and roamed stiffly among the beasts. The beasts immediately pounced on the people transformed from the talisman paper! The people transformed from the paper only had a human form, but in essence they were just talisman paper with low spiritual power. Once bitten by the beasts, they immediately turned back into pieces of talisman paper and sank into the sea of ​​nothingness.

Yi Xichen said: "Sure enough!"

These beasts have no mind and strange appearances. Some have no eyes or ears, some have no mouths, and some have no facial features at all. After all, they are monsters formed by the spiritual energy in the void sea, not normal monsters. When they attack, they attack completely according to the breath of living people, not by judging by the five senses.

The substitute amulet was stained with the blood of its master and thus had the master's aura, so the ferocious beasts immediately attacked them as well.

After understanding what he wanted to confirm, Yi Xichen drew his sword again. Although the eldest grandson Jun could protect the two of them by himself, it would consume too much spiritual energy for the eldest grandson Jun, so Yi Xichen only temporarily entrusted the important task to him and returned to the battle.

While he was fighting the beast, he said, "Fellow Daoists, hold your breath! Take out all the substitute talismans you have, throw your substitutes out, and take the opportunity to escape from here!"

Few people paid attention to what he said.

However, Master Hong Yi immediately did as he was told. He tapped Gao Tianzhu's brow with his finger, sealed his apprentice's breath, and immediately sealed his own breath. He didn't have a substitute talisman with him, so he tore off a piece from his Taoist robe and threw it out.

The ferocious beasts actually gathered together him and Gao Tianzhu, and pounced on the corner of his clothes that came alive after he cast a spell!

Seeing this, everyone followed suit, holding their breath. Those who had a substitute threw it away, and those who didn't had a substitute thought of creating something similar to a substitute. The fierce but stupid beasts were distracted and pounced on the dead things, and the living people took the opportunity to escape. Using this method all the way, the danger was greatly reduced. Not long after, the beasts around gradually became scarce, and people finally escaped from the beast's territory.

When everyone counted the number of people, they found that two monks were missing in the battle with the beasts. However, if it weren't for the pioneering fighting style of the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen, I'm afraid that few of them would be able to leave the beast's land alive!

"My two Taoist friends," said one of the people who had just been helped by them, "I am Taoist Master Zhenqing of the Tiezhen Sect. Thank you for your help. May I ask what your name is?"

As usual, the two answered: Invincible, sure to win.

The name didn't sound like a real name, and the two of them were both more skilled and intelligent than others. Those who could come to the Void Sea were already rare among humans, and it was impossible for them to be unknown in the cultivation world. But since the two refused to speak, it was inconvenient for others to force them. Taoist Master Zhenqing said, "Today, I have received the kindness of the two Taoist friends. If I have the opportunity to repay this kindness in the future, I will not refuse."

Several other monks who had been helped by them also expressed their gratitude one by one.

Yi Xichen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, please don't be polite. This void sea is extremely dangerous. It's hard for the two of us to reach the void sea alone. It's only natural for us to help each other. Let's go quickly."

The group entered the sea of ​​nothingness, and there were thunderstorms, fierce beasts, and a day had passed in the blink of an eye. However, there was no distinction between day and night in the sea of ​​nothingness. If someone had not brought a timekeeping device, people would not be able to tell how much time had passed. For most people, this day was longer than a year, but they were not even halfway through their journey, and they didn't know what kind of difficulties and dangers were waiting for them.

At this point, people no longer think about those things and can only move forward, dealing with the situation as it comes.

The remaining less than ten people continued to move forward with the sword, and encountered some difficult monsters again. Fortunately, after going through several levels, everyone had a tacit understanding and helped each other, so they got through smoothly.

After an unknown amount of time, the black fog ahead became thicker and thicker, and visibility gradually decreased. Several people walked side by side, but the further they went, the harder it was to see the people around them.

Master Hong Yi shouted, "Everyone be careful, the evil spirit is very strong here!"

This sea of ​​nothingness is called nothingness. It does not produce anything, but it also cannot transform other things. For tens of millions of years, countless people, demons, and monsters have entered this place and could never get out. They died here, but the things they left behind were retained by the sea of ​​nothingness and redistributed through the strange spiritual field of this place, forming all kinds of bizarre demonic things.

This place was the Demonic Forest. The demonic energy that Void Sea had absorbed for tens of millions of years had accumulated here. They hadn't seen any evil creatures yet, but the dense demonic energy alone was enough to make their hair stand on end.

Suddenly, the Cangyun Sword shook violently, and the two fell down. Fortunately, the eldest grandson Jun quickly stabilized the sword and flew up again.

Yi Xichen was startled: "Zijun, what's wrong with you?"

The eldest grandson Jun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you hear the woman's laughter?"

"no."

"Hmm." The eldest grandson Jun nodded, as if he had expected it. He continued to move forward cautiously with his sword.

The black fog was too thick, and they could no longer see all the people around them. Only the faces of four or five people who were closer could be seen, and the rest were just shadowy shadows. However, although the monks looked very solemn and were very careful in holding their swords, they did not seem to be affected. Even if Yi Xichen was as low in cultivation, he just felt that the strong demonic energy made him very uncomfortable. But he did not expect that the first person to be invaded by the demonic energy and have hallucinations would be his eldest grandson, Zijun.

They were already here, and it was too late to say anything now. If they were really invaded by the evil spirit, they would not be able to drive it away in this dark fog forest. Yi Xichen did not say much, but just held the hand of his eldest grandson, Zijun: "If you need it, feel free to exchange my sword."

"Okay." The eldest grandson Jun nodded and continued to move forward. If he needed to replace someone, he would not force it, but it was not necessary at this moment.

After walking for a while, they could see fewer and fewer people around them, and it became unclear whether those people were still with them.

The eldest grandson, Jun, breathed slightly faster. He could vaguely hear the woman's laughter and voice. But he didn't want to listen, didn't want to think about it, and those voices never came close to him.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of swords clashing again, and someone seemed to be screaming. The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen confirmed that they both heard it, and it seemed that it was not an illusion, maybe someone was in trouble. However, the evil energy and black mist were too strong, and they could not see anything.

"Master Hong Yi? Senior Brother Gao?" Yi Xichen tried to call out.

But no one responded.

"We got separated..."

The eldest grandson, Jun, frowned, stopped moving forward, and began to hold his breath and concentrate. Not to mention the thick black fog here, it was originally difficult to tell the direction in this sea of ​​nothingness. They were looking for the location of the sea of ​​nothingness, relying entirely on the strength of the spiritual energy to determine the direction. But the demonic energy in this sea of ​​black fog was so strong that it was difficult for him to capture the looming spiritual energy. If this black fog was stronger, there would be a real danger of getting lost.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down on the crown of the eldest grandson Zijun's head!

The eldest grandson's sword moved as he wished, and he easily avoided the lightning fire. He thought it was a thunderstorm in the void sea, but when the thunder fell beside him, he found that this lightning fire was obviously different from the previous thunderstorms. This was not like natural lightning fire, but more like a magic.

Immediately afterwards, the second thunder struck again!

The eldest grandson Zijun didn't even try to avoid it. As soon as he opened his body to protect himself, the thunder and fire quickly dissipated as if it was an itch.

Yi Xichen said: "It's the Thunder Fire Bird!"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, looked back. In the dark mist of evil energy, there was a dark shadow flapping its wings. With a little carefulness, one could tell that it was a demon beast, the Thunder Fire Bird!

Originally, they should have sensed the approach of a monster long ago, but the evil energy in the Black Mist Forest was too strong, weakening their senses, so they failed to discover it earlier.

The eldest grandson Zijun didn't know how a monster appeared in the black mist forest, but since the monster had already attacked them, he didn't hesitate and silently recited the fire spell, intending to burn the thunder and fire bird into a charcoal fire bird!

"Ouch." Yi Xichen suddenly drew his sword.

Just now, a monster suddenly slipped past his waist and tried to snatch his Qiankun bag. Fortunately, he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and drew his sword to repel the monster.

The eldest grandson, Zijun, was about to use his fire skills, but suddenly stopped and said in a cold voice, "Get out."

Yi Xichen immediately agreed: "You still want my bird? My fellow Taoist, you can get here, which shows that you are very capable. Why don't we join forces? We are in trouble now. If you can help us reach the Void World, I will give you the bird!"

There was no response in the darkness.

There is no doubt that the guy who sent the monster to attack them and wanted to steal Yi Xichen's bag was the evil cultivator, the beast Dan Xiu. Yi Xichen certainly couldn't have given Fei Ji to him, he was just deceiving that person. Presumably, one of that person's monsters had excellent vision and could see through the black fog, so they could attack them in the dark, and they couldn't find where that person was for the time being. Even if they couldn't trick him into showing up, as long as he made a slight move, they would have a chance to find his location.

That person was not stupid enough to show up just because of Yi Xichen's words, but he didn't know what was going on over there. The eldest grandson Jun immediately sensed that there was a different aura moving in the thick evil spirit. He led Yi Xichen to attack quickly, and a golden sword light dispersed the black mist!

Lang Yue and the beastly alchemist suddenly appeared before the two of them!
