So in a broad sense, Luo Yunshi Gorge is also a secret place, but the scope of this secret place is relatively large, and all the cultivators of Shangyong Country know about it.
"On a branch of the Hongmang Mountains that extends southward." Yi Ming replied, "The area seems to be called the Yunyun Mountains."
"The Yunyun Mountains are located in the northwest of Jing Country. Because of the terrain, they are covered with clouds all year round, locking up spirits and gathering energy. The richness of the spiritual energy is even stronger than that of the Hongmang Mountains. If it were not connected to the Hongmang Mountains, where powerful beasts often appear, I estimate that many sects would build their mountain gates in the Yunyun Mountains."
Qingyangzi taught Yi Ming about the Yunyun Mountains. "However, there are still many cultivators who covet the rich spiritual energy in the mountains and build caves in the mountains to live in seclusion. This is not only helpful for cultivation, but also convenient for collecting resources and materials. As a result, some people die of old age in the caves, some are killed by the secret dangers in the mountains, and naturally some are devoured by beasts, leaving behind a legacy and savings for future generations."
"So the Yunyun Mountains are a famous place for training in Jing Country. However, due to its vast area and numerous dangers, it has never been fully explored." Yuqiao Sanren added, "Almost every few years, a new secret realm or powerful inheritance is discovered, which also attracts more cultivators to explore."
"So, this place is actually a hodgepodge?" Yi Ming frowned, "There are various monks living in seclusion here, and there are countless people going there to explore the secrets?"
"That's right. The fighting is everywhere. Most of the monks who went to explore the secrets not only failed to find opportunities, but instead turned their own savings into opportunities for others." Tiezhen said disdainfully.
Yi Ming continued, "The protective formation at the entrance of the cave has been mostly damaged, but there are other auras similar to the fluctuations of the formation coming from the entrance. However, she didn't understand the formation very well, and she couldn't take down the Black Alligator at that time, so she didn't continue to pester it, but left it for later."
The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!
"What did you say?" Yuqiao Sanren was shocked when he heard this. "You mean Wan Qingying was still in the late stage of Qi Refining at that time?"
The monk's talent, skills, experience, accumulation of true essence, magic tools, and secret techniques are all factors that determine combat effectiveness. How can it be determined by just looking at the cultivation level? This is true for monks and fierce beasts. For example, the Black Blade Crocodile at the early stage of the Xuan level is definitely much more powerful than the Lightning Raccoon at the same level.
“The Duyuan Sect is a famous sword-cultivating sect in Shangyong Country. Even if she doesn’t have a Xuan-level flying sword, it should not be a problem for her to take down a Xuan-level early stage black-bladed crocodile.” Yi Ming had seen Wan Qingying take action, and compared his own strength with that of her after he was promoted to the early stage of Ningyuan. Of course, he didn’t believe that a beast of the same level could stop her.
Anyway, they are not in a hurry! "Miss Wan is quite amazing. She has only been promoted to the initial stage of Condensation not long ago, but she dares to go deep into the Yunyun Mountains alone for 800 miles." Yuqiao Sanren's eyes were full of admiration, "You know, there are Xuan-level beasts lurking after 300 miles in the mountains."
"It's guarded by a formation. It sounds like a cultivator's cave." Qingyangzi said, stroking his beard.
"The entrance to the secret realm is a cave at the bottom of the swamp. When she was fighting with the Black Crocodile and stirring up the swamp, she accidentally discovered a little bit of formation aura emanating from the bottom of the swamp. After that, she intentionally fought nearby for a while, and finally found the cave."
Yuqiao Sanren was too lazy to pay attention to Tiezhen. How powerful was the Jindan Patriarch? Did he need to hide at the bottom of the swamp in the Yunyun Mountains? "No matter what, we have to go and take a look. If we wait until the formation is broken and the black-fronted crocodile breaks into the secret realm of the cave, I'm afraid there will be nothing left." Yi Ming said.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"...
They had no interest in competing with the mysterious birds flying between the clouds and the sky, and they were also worried that if they flew too low, they would be attacked by the ferocious terrestrial beasts in the forest. So it was better for them to land in the mountains and travel slowly. Although it was not as fast as flying, it was safer.
"Miss Wan gave me a map. It shows that we enter the Yunyun Mountains from Feilang Valley in the east, and go 800 miles deep into the mountains. It is a low-lying valley surrounded by mountains on all sides." Yi Ming continued, "As for the ferocious beast, it is a black-bladed crocodile."
Three hundred miles deep into the mountains, as a sharp whistle reached everyone's ears, the four of them tacitly lowered their altitude and landed in the mountain woods.
For example, due to his lack of skills and foundation, Yuqiao Sanren might only be able to fight this black-bladed crocodile to a draw. However, the daughter of the leader of the Guoyuan Sect, once she is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, she will definitely not take a black-bladed crocodile seriously.
Yunyun Mountains, Feilang Valley.
"That's the lower limit, the possibility is very low. The upper limit could be a Jindan ancestor." Tie Zhen argued.
Yi Ming and the other three flew in the air, leaving only four streaks of light in the sky, and soon disappeared from the sight of the many Qi Refining cultivators below.
Then Yi Ming got a bargain.
"He lives at the bottom of the swamp and has a Black-Edged Crocodile at the early Xuan level as his guard beast. His cultivation must be at least at the middle Condensation level." Tie Zhen pulled his steel-needle beard and continued his analysis.
Generally speaking, cultivators in the early stage of Condensation and ferocious beasts in the early stage of Profound Realm are in the same realm, and theoretically their strength should be similar.
However, this is just a theory. You know, even though they are both cultivators in the early stage of Condensation, the gap in strength between them may be very large. For example, Yi Ming can easily kill Duan Changzhu now.
Nodding meant that he agreed with Yuqiao Sanren's words that Wan Qingying was amazing, while shaking his head meant that he denied Yuqiao Sanren's second sentence, "If Wan Qingying had advanced to the Condensation Stage at that time, there would be no such thing as our business."
Yi Ming nodded. Wan Qingying came to Jingguo for training, and he didn't have any secret information, so of course he could only go to such popular places. It's just that he was extremely lucky, so he could find hidden secrets in such popular places.
"Black Alligator?" Qingyangzi frowned, "Is that a swamp?"
Qing Yangzi frowned, not understanding what Yi Ming meant, "You mean..."
Yi Ming nodded, then shook his head.
"That's right." Yi Ming nodded. "I heard from Wan Qingying that the surface of the place was ordinary. If it weren't for the sudden attack by the Black Blade Crocodile, she wouldn't have discovered the secret place."
Therefore, Wan Qingying, who encountered this black-bladed crocodile, should have been in the late stage of Qi Refining.
"Awesome." Tiezhen said admiringly.
Several people also believed in Yi Ming's judgment. Wan Qingying's sword skills were soaring, and he was definitely not inferior to Qing Yangzi. If he had the cultivation level of the initial stage of Condensation, he should not be unable to take down a Black-Blade Crocodile.
He was able to go 800 miles deep into the mountains with the cultivation level of the late Qi Refining stage, fight a fierce battle with a Black-Blade Crocodile of the early Xuan level, and discover a hidden secret realm. Such talent and such willpower made Tie Zhen have to admit defeat.
