Jiang Yuhan and Hu Bugui were in front, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian were behind, and they went into the crevice of the rock.

The strange thing is that, looking from the outside, the crevice becomes narrower as you go deeper into the rock; but once you actually get in and take a few steps, the space ahead becomes wider and wider.

After walking a few dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up. The four people were actually on a cliff platform, having emerged from a stone cave.

There was a vast sea of ​​clouds ahead, with white mist rolling like tides. There was no sun in the sky, but it was as bright as day.

A long iron cable bridge extended from the platform to the distance. Just as Jiang and Hu said, the dome of the fairy palace could be seen in the distance, standing above the sea of ​​clouds, majestic and magnificent, making people unable to help but yearn for it.

In front of the long bridge, a god in golden armor and silver robe stood silently, his eyes closed, motionless, with the long sword in his hand leaning against the ground, as if rooted.

The four of them stopped at the same time and looked at the warrior in golden armor.

It is impossible to fly the sword here. If you want to move forward, you can only pass through the long iron chain bridge - however, to get on the long bridge, you will obviously have to fight against the golden-armored warrior.

Qiu Changtian stared at it for a while, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Kunlun Mirror in his sea of ​​consciousness shout in shock:

"The Palace of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Its voice paused for a moment, then continued:

"Oh, it turns out to be the Divine Fire Dao."

"Divine Fire Dao?" Qiu Changtian asked.

"To become a god through incense and vows is the way of divine fire." Kunlun Mirror replied.

"Now that you mention it, I have heard of it before." Qiu Changtian said in amazement, "The ancient human sect branch, the Divine Fire Sect, inherited the 'inaction' thought of Taishang Laojun."

"It advocates not breathing, not refining qi, not practicing any method, but gathering the power of will and becoming a god through sitting... but later on, the Taoist tradition seems to have become extinct."

"If the road ahead was cut off by a sword, wouldn't it be extinct?" Kunlun Jing said with emotion, and suddenly remembered something, and said in a deep voice, "Since it was built to imitate the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West, the secret realm here should be the secret realm of the ancient Divine Fire Dao, and it is not something that you, the foundation-building disciples, can enter without permission."

"A Jing is right." Qiu Changtian cleared his throat, pretending to have discovered something, frowned and said, "Huh?"

"Senior Brother Qiu, what's wrong?" Jiang Yuhan asked in a low voice.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the secret realm of the Divine Fire Sect." Qiu Changtian replied.

"The Divine Fire Sect?" Everyone was speechless and stunned. They only heard Xu Yinglian say, "The Divine Fire Sect that pretends to be a god?"

"That's right." Seeing that Jiang and Hu were still a little confused, Qiu Changtian explained, "This Taoism is a branch of ancient human teachings. It advocates not breathing and refining qi, but saving the world and the people, spreading faith, and relying on the faith and will of the people to become gods."

"Is this possible?" Hu Bugui said with a smile, "Just like the land god in the temple, if people worship him with incense, he can become an immortal?"

"No one knows the specific way of cultivation, because the Divine Fire Dao's tradition was extinct ten thousand years ago." Xu Yinglian added, "According to what Senior Brother said, this golden-robed general guarding the bridge should be the 'Golden Armor Warriors' of the Divine Fire Dao, and each of them has strength comparable to the Golden Core Stage."

"The strength of the Jindan stage..." Jiang Yuhan and Hu Bugui looked at each other, and they both read fear on each other's faces.

When they entered the secret realm earlier and saw the majestic and awe-inspiring general guarding the bridge, they did not dare to make any attempts to attack him, so they left the secret realm and went back to ask for reinforcements.

Now it seems that it is a good thing that he did not take action, otherwise he might have been killed by the golden-armored warrior with one sword.

"In that case, shall we go back to the sect and ask the elders to come and deal with it?" Jiang Yuhan said hesitantly.

"It should be so." Qiu Changtian said with a smile.

Although he had the trump card "Xiandu Thunder" which was specifically designed to defeat immortal gods with willpower, he did not want to fight the golden-armored warrior head-on in an unfamiliar secret realm - even if he defeated the opponent, God knew what was behind it.

So everyone turned around and went back into the cave, walked a few dozen steps, and then came to a dead end.

Everyone:?

"How could it be a dead end?" Jiang and Hu were horrified and quickly used their flying swords to cut the rock wall in front of them, trying to dig out an entrance on it.

Of course, there are more rock walls behind the rock walls.

"You two should stop digging." Qiu Changtian couldn't bear to watch and tried to persuade them, "I think it's not the mechanism that blocked the entrance, but something went wrong with the prohibition of this secret realm that trapped us inside."

Xu Yinglian next to him raised his eyebrows. Senior brother was really used to being invincible. Even a horrible thing like "being blocked by a restriction" could be described so lightly. He was worthy of being senior brother.

[Invincible character, synchronization value +1. ]

Qiu Changtian turned around to look at Xu Yinglian in shock, while Jiang and Hu could not remain calm when they heard that they were "trapped in the secret realm". They immediately used all their strength to activate their flying swords, transformed into crazy excavators, and continued digging desperately on the stone wall.

Seeing that persuasion was futile, Qiu Changtian could only give Xu Yinglian a look, indicating that she should leave with him.

The two walked out of the cave again and returned to the cliff platform by the sea of ​​clouds. They saw the golden-armored warrior standing majestically nearby and the sea of ​​clouds slowly rolling like waves in the distance. The view seemed wide, but it gave people a strange feeling of narrowness and crampedness.

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Xu Yinglian asked in a low voice when she saw that he was calm and not panicked at all.

The reason why Qiu Changtian was not panicked was, of course, because the Kunlun Mirror could teleport him out of the secret realm at any time, and then he could find his master to come back and save his junior sister.

Ajing, the eternal God!

Of course, this carries a high risk of being exposed.

I won't say anything about my junior sister, but even my master would definitely ask:

How did you get out of that secret realm?

If it really comes to a life-and-death crisis, there is nothing we can do; but as long as there is a way, it is better not to use Ajing, the ultimate weapon.

After careful consideration, Qiu Changtian said calmly:

"From the perspective of the ban designer, if the entrance is suddenly sealed, it must be for the purpose of trapping people."

"There is no way to remove the restriction by simply staying at the entrance. If you can't stay, you can only move."

"As for where to go, it seems we don't have much choice, does it?"

"Indeed." Xu Yinglian looked at the long iron chain bridge in front of him, "But this golden-armored warrior..."

"According to records, the reason why this golden-armored warrior is 'comparable to a Jindan master' is because he is invulnerable to swords and spears, extremely strong, and difficult to kill by non-Jindan-level means, but he does not really have the strength of a Jindan-level." Qiu Changtian thought for a moment and said slowly, "Perhaps we can try to make a move..."

Before he finished speaking, the warrior in golden armor suddenly opened his eyes and raised his sword. He ignored Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian who were quickly preparing to attack, and just strode into the cave.

With Qiu Changtian's extensive knowledge and Xu Yinglian's keen insight, they could see that Jiang and Hu had dug too far and triggered the forbidden counterattack. They all closed their mouths in unison for fear of attracting the hatred of the golden-armored warrior.

As the strongman entered the cave, Qiu Changtian suddenly came to his senses and grabbed his junior sister's hand and said anxiously:

"Walk!"

Xu Yinglian also reacted, and taking advantage of the opportunity when the golden-armored warrior entered the cave, he immediately followed Qiu Changtian and rushed onto the iron chain bridge.

Since they couldn't fly swords in the secret realm, the two could only run forward along the long bridge.

The iron chains were shaking and trembling, the bridge planks beneath my feet were trembling constantly, and the sea of ​​clouds on both sides was deep and boundless, giving people an unpleasant feeling that they were "heading towards a point of no return."

After running out for about a few hundred meters, I heard a sudden short scream from behind.

Jiang and Hu in the cave were probably killed.
