Chapter 58 Best Route

In the evening, the dusk fell and the dense forest was shrouded in smoke and fog.

A dark red old vine was entwined on a towering ancient tree. At this moment, Ning Daoran was hiding in the tree, quietly looking at the area dozens of feet away.

I saw the remains of an ancient palace standing in the dense forest, with vines tangled and wisps of blood-colored restrictions emitting a faint glow.

This is the core of the legendary secret realm.

It is said that there was once a great Nascent Soul cultivator who lived there and treated this place as a medicine garden.

After his death, the medicinal herbs in the medicine garden grew wildly and eventually evolved into this Cangnan secret realm.

A large number of foundation-building pill ingredients are hidden in the core area, in addition there are also powerful restrictions left by the old Nascent Soul monster.

Many years later, later monks gradually figured out the rules of the Cangnan Secret Realm. Affected by the tides, the restrictions in the secret realm would be greatly weakened every fifty years.

Now is the best time to enter the secret realm to hunt for treasures. On the third day when the tide begins, the restrictions in the core area will weaken. This is the perfect time to break through the restrictions and pick top-quality elixirs.

Outside the ancient palace, two groups of people were already confronting each other.

One side is the Burning Sea Sect, and the other side is the Soul Devouring Sect. Both sides are already impatient and ready to take action.

As for other sects, Ning Daoran could only see disciples from Xingyue Pavilion, Gangmen Sect, Ziyun Sect and other sects from afar, but he did not see anyone from Chaos Sect.

And even so, the disciples of these sects could only watch from afar and did not dare to approach the core area for fear of being killed by the disciples of the two first-rate sects.

"I wonder how Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Liu are doing..."

Ning Daoran frowned, feeling quite uneasy.

…

"Fellow Daoists from the Fenhai Sect."

A true disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect had a sinister look in his eyes and sneered, "The inner barrier is about to reach its weakest moment. Instead of confronting each other here, why don't we work together to break the barrier first, and then fight for it. How many of the three main medicines you can get depends on your own ability. How do you think?"

"Can."

The only disciple of Fenhai Sect who followed his lead was Qin Buhui.

He held a long sword, and a powerful aura of magic surged throughout his body. The bearing of the first true disciple was definitely not something that other disciples of the Fenhai Sect could possess.

So much so that when many female disciples of the Fenhai Sect looked at Qin Buhui, their eyes naturally became burning.

"In that case."

Another true disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect said in a deep voice: "Then what are we waiting for? The disciples of the Burning Sea Sect attack the left side of the restriction, and the disciples of the Soul Devouring Sect attack the right side of the restriction. Together we will break through the restriction and enter the hall!"

"Well, that's it."

Qin Buhui smiled calmly, and with a flick of his sleeve, he led many disciples of the Fenhai Sect to attack the restriction on the left.

He was calm and composed. At this moment, in the core area of ​​the entire secret realm, only Qin Buhui had the strongest cultivation. Lin Chi had not been seen for a long time, and that man was most likely dead. Looking at the entire secret realm, no one could do anything to him.

"Attack, break the ban!"

A group of Qi Refining disciples frantically used magical weapons and mana to bombard the restrictions in front of them.

For a moment, the blood-colored restriction continued to ripple, and the mana fluctuations emitted by it trembled violently, and the power of the restriction was slowly weakening.

Ning Daoran's body was running frantically with the breath-concealing technique, wood escape technique, invisibility technique, and sound-absorbing technique at the level of returning to nature. He hid in the vines without moving, and watched from afar the disciples of the two sects attack the restriction.

When the restriction is lifted, he will naturally find a way to enter the hall. Since he is here, he must take the opportunity that belongs to him.

…

"Look, the people from the Burning Sea Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect have begun to attack the restricted area in the core area!"

In the distance, disciples of Ziyun Sect were watching from afar, holding magical instruments.

"snort!"

Immediately, an inner sect disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect turned around and sneered, "Get away from me! Do you think you are worthy of coveting the spiritual medicine in this ancient temple? If you don't want to die, then stay away."

Several Soul Devouring Sect disciples turned around at the same time, their eyes gradually becoming dangerous.

“…”

A group of people from Ziyun Sect had cold eyes and frowned brows, but there was nothing they could do. When they were weaker than others, they could only endure it. Therefore, no one spoke and they just watched from afar.

Half an hour later.

The restrictions ahead were becoming weaker and weaker, and the blood-colored curtain had become quite thin, and it felt like it would break if torn apart.

“Almost there!”

The two true disciples of the Soul-Devouring Sect looked at each other.

"Get started!"

Suddenly, everyone started to attack, and countless magical weapons smashed towards the people from Fenhai Sect not far away.

"I knew you had bad intentions!"

On the Fenhai Sect side, Qin Buhui shouted: "Junior brothers and sisters, block their attack and continue to attack the restriction. We must be the first to enter the ancient temple!"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

There was a melee between the two sides, but each side retained some disciples to continue attacking the ban.

Soon after, a wisp of tender golden ripples "hum" bloomed from around the ancient temple, and the restriction was finally broken! "Charge!"

The disciples of the Burning Sea Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect stopped attacking and rushed into the ancient temple together.

At the same time, a deep red vine also began to rustle. Ning Daoran quickly performed the Wood Escape Technique and followed the vines and the ancient tree to land several meters away from the restriction.

He cast a spell and instantly used the earth escape technique, entering the restricted area directly along the outer mud. After running for dozens of meters, he continued to cast spells and escaped along the old vines on the outer wall of the ancient temple.

…

In the ancient temple, the magical power fluctuates strongly.

As soon as the disciples rushed into the hall, they discovered a golden light in the sky.

An extremely delicate gold and jade armband with strong spiritual power fluctuations was suspended in the air, emitting a majestic aura, and there was also a small restriction around it.

"It's that jade arm ring..."

The eyes of a Soul Devouring Sect disciple were filled with shock: "This item is a top-grade magic weapon that has already appeared in the world fifty years ago! Brothers, as long as you can take this item and present it to the ancestor, the Foundation Establishment Pill will be in your pocket!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Over at Fenhai Sect, a group of disciples also looked at each other with fervent excitement.

"superior!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Qin Buhui said with a cold face: "This jade arm ring belongs to our Fenhai Sect!"

"It belongs to you? You, the Fenhai Sect, are so shameless..."

"Bah, all of you, the demon sect members, die!"

Not only did the two sides start fighting, but they also cursed at each other!

However, even so, the Burning Sea Sect and the Soul-Devouring Sect still sent out a part of their disciples to guard the forbidden entrance, not allowing disciples from other sects to come in. The two major forces wanted to monopolize the opportunities in the ancient temple.

No wonder every time in the Cangnan Secret Realm, the top two are always the Burning Sea Sect and the Soul-Devouring Sect, because other sects don’t even have the chance to get on the table, let alone compete.

Ning Daoran looked at the melee below with a cautious look in his eyes.

He released his spiritual sense and carefully scanned the entire internal structure of the ancient temple and all the hidden restrictions. It was quite dangerous. He had to say that the old Yuanying monster was really powerful. Even after so many years, the restrictions here were still seamless.

The cultivators who want to enter the ancient temple must break through a horizontal restriction in the center before they can enter the back area, and all the spiritual medicines here are planted in the hall in the back row.

However, it’s not that there is really no chance.

After repeated analysis, Ning Daoran confirmed a route.

He used Wood Release from the vines on top of the ancient temple to reach the right edge, where there was a crack in the damaged building, and the mountain stream outside was gurgling in to form a stream that went straight to the back hall.

This route is extremely difficult to detect, but it also has a flaw. That is, after entering the back hall, you can only pick spiritual medicine from the area where the restriction is broken. Most of the other spiritual medicines can only be entered after breaking the restriction by force.

However, Ning Daoran's goal was not high to begin with.

He only planned to rank in the top ten of the Chaos Sect in terms of his achievements and qualify for a Foundation Establishment Pill, so that he could legitimately establish his foundation in the future.

As for helping the Chaos Sect to fight for the first place in the secret realm?

That was not something that an outer disciple like him should consider at all. If he obtained too many main medicines, he would expose himself instead.

…

So, let’s do it! “Swish!”

Ning Daoran continuously performed Wood Release Techniques in the vines, silently passing over the battlefield. One could even feel the sharpness of the collision of various magical weapons.

These disciples of the Burning Sea Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect are very brave and diligent. Each of them is a foundation-building immortal seedling that is competing for the first place in the Great Dao! Not long after, his figure arrived at the right edge of the Water Hall. Ning Daoran cast three spells in succession and turned directly into a wisp of residual shadow. He escaped through the water successfully and flowed along the water all the way to the back hall.

His heart was in his throat, fearing that there might be some restriction that he couldn't detect with his own strength, and he had already designed more than a dozen retreat routes.

But none of these routes were used, and soon they arrived safely at a dilapidated medicine garden in the back hall.

Looking up, half of the night sky is in sight.

The original owner of the Cangnan Secret Realm, the great Nascent Soul cultivator, certainly had tremendous cultivation and his mastery of formations and restrictions had reached an incredible level, but he was still unable to resist the erosion of time.

After hundreds or even thousands of years of wind and rain, the entire structure and restrictions of this hall have suffered some damage.

Just like what is happening now, due to cracks in the wall and corrosion caused by rainwater, a small area of ​​the forbidden array pattern was corroded and became ineffective, creating an opportunity for Ning Daoran.

There is a strong medicinal aroma in the nose.

Just ahead, hundreds or even thousands of years old spiritual medicines were scattered among the weeds, all of them were the main ingredients for the foundation-building pill.

"Don't get excited, keep calm..."

While admonishing himself, Ning Daoran burrowed underground to the vicinity of the spiritual medicine. With each move, he put a spiritual medicine into his storage bag, just like pulling a carrot.

Soon after, there were more than forty spiritual herbs in the storage bag, which was enough and any more would be fine.

retreat!

He returned directly the same way he came, and while the disciples of the Burning Sea Sect and the Soul-Devouring Sect were still fighting, he had already escaped to the outside world along a vine.

At this time, the fight in the hall had nothing to do with Ning Daoran anymore. He had already achieved his goal on this trip! Unfortunately, he still didn't see Lin Sheng and Liu Ruyan, and he didn't know if anything had happened.

…

Outside the secret realm.

Tianhai Old Monster, Soul-Devouring Demon and other Jindan great monks had cold eyes. Not long ago, more and more soul tablets of disciples from both sides were broken, and the losses had exceeded expectations.

Jiang Yu frowned slightly as she looked at the soul tablets of the Chaos Sect's disciples, which were breaking one after another, with the loss of nearly 40%.
