Chapter 169 Demonic Beast
Gu Shihan looked at Bai Li in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Senior. This is the Tianshui Secret Realm. I really don't understand why you are here? Is it just to stop the terrible demon shadow from escaping from here?"
Bai Li shook his head gently, his snow-white hair fluttering in the wind, making him look even more like an immortal.
He slowly said, "That's not the case! To be honest, I was tampered with by someone and fell asleep in this secret realm. I was awakened only a few years ago, and that demon shadow was just the jailer who was responsible for guarding me."
Hearing this, Gu Shihan was shocked. He wondered what kind of predicament this senior had encountered, and asked hurriedly, "Excuse me, why are you trapped here?"
Bai Li sighed deeply, as if recalling the past that he couldn't bear to look back on. He said in a slightly low voice: "It's a long story. Thousands of years ago, a certain tribe unfortunately offended a powerful person. The powerful person's strength is unfathomable, and his methods are all-powerful.
In the end, as a representative of the clan, I was severely punished and sealed in this deserted Tianshui secret realm. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet you guys who accidentally stumbled into this place today, I'm afraid I would have to continue to endure the pain of imprisonment for a long time, and I don't know when I can regain my freedom. "
Yu Tong, who was standing nearby, could no longer suppress her curiosity. She blinked her big, lively eyes and asked impatiently, "So, senior, do you know who that powerful person is? How could he possess such terrifying strength?"
When Bai Li heard this, his expression changed slightly and his eyes dimmed instantly, as if he was afraid of that powerful man.
After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and replied solemnly, "This is a secret of heaven and cannot be easily revealed. In short, the power of that powerful person is beyond your imagination. Although I have escaped by chance, my strength has not yet fully recovered and I still need some time to recuperate."
Just as everyone was lost in thought, Xing Bai, who had been listening silently, suddenly broke the silence and asked seriously, "If that's the case, then may I ask, Senior, are there any other unknown dangers hidden in this Tianshui Secret Realm? After all, we entered this place to seek the legendary opportunity."
Bai Li looked at Xing Bai, a light flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Can't you transform yet?"
Xingbai spun around, and a five or six-year-old little boy appeared in front of everyone. He said proudly, "Of course I can! Why not?! I just like to be held by Hanhan."
Bai Li smiled and pondered for a moment, "I only know there is a spiritual spring, but it is surrounded by restrictions, and it is difficult for you to approach with your current abilities. But in consideration of you saving me, I can give you a talisman that can ensure you can safely pass through the restrictions and go back and forth once. How many opportunities you can get depends on your luck."
Gu Shihan and the others looked at each other with surprise, "Thank you for your help, senior." Gu Shihan took the amulet.
Bai Li looked at Xing Bai and said in a gentle tone: "Well, now that the evil shadow has been eliminated, it's time for me to return to heaven. My friends, I will take you there right away. See you later!"
Under Bai Li's guidance, they headed towards the spiritual spring. Although there were still some minor obstacles along the way, relying on the experience accumulated before and Bai Li's protection, they successfully arrived at the spiritual spring.
The spiritual spring exuded a dense mist, and the surrounding spiritual energy was as dense as substance. "Such a rich spiritual energy!"
Bai Li waved his hand and the figure disappeared. Xingbai jumped down excitedly and ran towards the spiritual spring happily.
Gu Shihan and Yutong couldn't wait to get closer to the Lingquan Pool.
When they were about to touch the spiritual spring, it suddenly glowed brightly, and an ancient voice sounded: "To obtain the power of the spiritual spring, you must solve my riddle." Then, a string of flashing runes appeared in the air.
Everyone looked at each other, Xingbai scratched his fox head and said, "What should we do?"
Gu Shihan carefully observed the runes and tried to decipher their meaning. After some deep thought, her eyes suddenly lit up. She reached out to touch the runes and adjusted the order according to her understanding.
As the last rune returned to its place, the restriction of the spiritual spring disappeared.
Everyone cheered and rushed to the spiritual spring, starting to practice and absorb the power of the spiritual spring.
Xingbai felt that his spiritual power was purer and deeper, and there were signs of a breakthrough. With a turn, it disappeared and returned to the space.
Gu Shihan felt the abundance of spiritual energy, she raised her hand and brought Xiao Hei outside. She hoped that Xiao Hei could also be improved from here.
Yu Tong turned into a little fire phoenix, and her entire body was soaked in the spiritual spring. Three days later, she returned to the space to advance.
As time passed, Gu Shihan's cultivation level broke through to the late tenth level of the Golden Core. She seemed to feel that she had reached a bottleneck and there was no benefit in continuing to practice, so she stopped.
Xiao Hei also gained a lot. Suddenly, the secret realm shook. Gu Shihan took out the Tianshui Secret Realm Token and saw that the secret realm was opened.
Gu Shihan held the token tightly and said to Xiao Hei, "Let's go."
Xiao Hei hummed in agreement, and they flew quickly toward the depths of the secret realm.
On the way, they encountered a group of demonized monsters. These monsters had red eyes and exuded a strong evil aura.
Gu Shihan frowned, drew out the Seven-Star Silk Sound Sword in his hand, and prepared for battle.
Xiao Hei rushed forward first. He was agile and each of his attacks was powerful.
Gu Shihan cast magic, and beams of spiritual sword energy swept towards the monsters, but the demonized monsters were so numerous that they gradually surrounded them.
At this moment, Gu Shihan remembered a mysterious power he had obtained from the spiritual spring that he had not yet fully utilized.
Yes, this time of spiritual spring training has stimulated the hidden spiritual root in the body - the light spiritual root.
The spiritual power of light awakened. He calmed down and guided the power to flow through his body. Then he formed seals with his hands and chanted some spells.
A dazzling white light burst out from her body, and the demonized beasts screamed and retreated when they encountered the white light.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Shihan and Xiao Hei quickly broke out of the encirclement and flew into the depths of the secret realm.
Xing Bai succeeded in breaking through and couldn't wait to get out of the space. He said happily: "Hanhan, look, I've grown taller!"
"Xingbai, congratulations! You've grown so tall, that's great!" Gu Shihan said with a smile.
Xing Bai's figure flashed, and he turned into a little fox again. He frowned and said, "Hanhan, the Tianshui Secret Realm has been opened, and the cultivators have come in, but why do I feel that there is a trace of demonic energy? And your senior brother and Brother Shi should have come in as well, right? Do we need to contact them?"
Gu Shihan looked around and said calmly, "Don't worry, let's look around and find the source of the evil spirit. We encountered a wave of demonized monsters not long ago, but I don't know if anyone has been demonized. I always feel a little uneasy!"
