The mountains in the distance also looked yellow and white.

At first glance, it seems that there are no other colors in this world, no green, and no trace of life.

The bright sun in the sky shines on this cold land, reflecting a faint metallic luster.

It seemed as if this world was made of a huge piece of steel, desolate and cold.

Time seems to not exist here.

No one knew how much time had passed, but a suspended portal suddenly opened in the sky above this dead and silent world.

The door slowly opened.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Hundreds of rays of light burst out from the portal.

At the same time, enter this world through that portal.

They were carried by a mysterious force in mid-air, shooting in all directions of the earth and scattering randomly on the land.

Until all the glory has disappeared from this world.

Clang! The suspended door suddenly closed.

The sight shifts to a low-lying area on the loess land.

There are some rare and unusual colors here.

The black unknown liquid gathered in the low-lying area, forming a small lake, about two or three miles long and wide.

The black lake did not reflect any light under the sunlight.

It seemed that all the light that shone on it was swallowed up by the liquid.

Whoosh! A beam of golden light flashed.

A ray of light descended from a portal in the sky and suddenly landed on the edge of the lake.

The light faded, revealing a handsome young man in loose blue clothes.

He has an elegant demeanor and a quiet and calm air like a secluded valley.

As soon as he appeared, alertness appeared in the boy's eyes. His deep pupils looked around, sizing up the surrounding environment.

Only after confirming that there was no danger did he relax.

Kong Ju looked at the scene he saw, the land full of metallic texture, and the lifeless mountains in the distance without a trace of green, and murmured softly: "This place really agrees with the record of the Great Geng Essence in "Xianji".

As soon as the words fell.

Huh! A breeze suddenly blew from the distant land, blowing across Kong Jue's body inadvertently.

Kong Ju didn't care at first.

Soon his brows furrowed.

I saw that the robe he was wearing was cut into several pieces by the breeze.

Not only that, his skin exposed to the air also felt painful when the breeze blew past, as if it was being cut by countless tiny blades.

Feeling the slight pain on his skin, Kong Ju subconsciously activated his spiritual power.

The colorless spiritual energy instantly floated on the surface of the body, blocking the breeze.

"There's something strange about this wind!" Kong Ju said secretly, and immediately opened his virtual soul vision to observe the obviously strange breeze blowing over.

Through his virtual vision, he could clearly see that the breeze coming from all directions was mixed with golden light.

It is as thin as a hair, and although there are not many of them, each ray of light has an astonishing sense of sharpness.

It was the golden light mixed in the breeze that had just torn Kong Jue's clothes and caused the pain on his skin.

Kong Ju stretched out his palm, pinched two fingers, caught a ray of light in the wind into his hand, and then observed it closely in front of his eyes.

It can be seen that even though the ray of light was wrapped in Kong Ji's spiritual power, it was still constantly bursting out with sharp power, trying to break free from Kong Ji's control.

Kong Qi narrowed his eyes as he watched the scene, and spoke softly to judge the power of the light:

"Such pure golden spiritual energy, a cultivator at the Shenglun realm can resist it. But if a cultivator at the Yanglun realm encounters this golden wind, he will probably be cut into several pieces on the spot."

After saying this, Kong Ju relaxed his fingers slightly, but the golden light still flowed from his fingertips.

He finally understood why the birthplace of the Great Geng Essence was barren.

"This world is really strange. Even the wind is filled with the power of sharp gold."

"However, this golden spiritual power is a great tonic for sword cultivators. It is simply a holy place for sword cultivators to practice." Kong Ju sighed and gained a new understanding of the Chaodi Ancient City.

But now is not the time to worry about these things.

Now that we have come to the ancient city of Chaodi, the next step is naturally to think about how to seize the opportunities.

Kong Ju suddenly looked up, and used all his strength to activate his virtual vision, looking towards the sky of this world.

The sky is clear and blue with no cloud in sight.

Obviously, Kong Ju did not see what he was looking for.

He had to look away and muttered, "The Chaodi Ancient City is suspended in the air. It is a city in the clouds. My virtual soul can see more than 200 miles, but I really can't see the ancient city."

"How big is this world?"

Fortunately, this was not the first time Kong Jue came to this kind of blessed land-like space.

The areas of Xihuang Blessed Land and Qinghu Blessed Land are comparable to a whole region. Kong Ju was not surprised by the space of Chaodi Ancient City.

After taking a moment to think, he took out the heirloom token.

He thought that since the heirloom order was the key to entering the ancient city of Chaodi, it should show some performance.

As expected, a ray of golden light appeared on the surface of the ancient token of Chaodi Ancient City.

It was like a pointer, pointing to the left front direction of Kong Jue, and its meaning was self-evident.

"So that's how it is!" A smile appeared on Kong Ju's face, and then he put away the order and was about to take off.

But before taking off, his virtual vision, which had always been open, was not closed.

I have been paying attention to the sharp gold power in the wind.

Ignoring the sharp golden energy for the moment, his peripheral vision allowed him to see a cluster of light in the black lake beside him.

The light flashed blue-black and was soon covered by the black liquid.

If Kong Ju hadn't been so meticulous, it would have been almost overlooked.

This discovery made Kong Ju give up the idea of ​​leaving immediately. He used all his strength to activate his virtual vision and turned to look at this strange lake.

In this desolate world filled with golden spiritual energy, the appearance of a black lake is a strange thing.

Kong Ju hadn’t thought about it carefully before, but now looking at it, he just felt it was extremely weird.

He had never seen a lake of this color before.

When the sun's light shone into the lake, not even a single ray of light was reflected, as if it had been completely swallowed up by it.

What surprised Kong Ju even more was that his virtual soul vision could not see through the lake, as if there was a barrier blocking his sight.

Its extremely deep pure black color gives people a bad feeling.

After a closer look, Kong Ju roughly understood where the problem lay.

Following his virtual vision, he saw a strong black spiritual energy spreading above the black lake.

Kong Ju stretched out his hand, picked up a ball and placed it in his palm. He could feel the moistness brought by the black spiritual power between his five fingers.

"It's water-based spiritual power!" Kong Ju found out the reason and waved his hand to disperse the spiritual energy.

"Gold gives birth to water! In this world filled with sharp golden spiritual energy, there is naturally a cycle of the five elements giving birth to each other."

After saying that, Kong Ju looked at the black lake again, and his eyes suddenly became different.

This pool of black liquid is pure water-based spiritual power. No wonder my virtual soul vision cannot see through it.

If a cultivator who practices water-based skills comes here, he can turn it into his own cultivation without too much refining.

"Moreover, such a rich water-based spiritual energy has condensed into liquid. There must be spiritual creatures growing in it."

"That fleeting brilliance just now must be a spiritual object without a doubt."

Kong Ju suddenly laughed while speaking. His luck sometimes brought him unexpected surprises.

Such a big world, and it just happened to land here.

Whoosh! A figure covered in a black tights appeared beside him.

From the little bit of skin revealed through his facial mask, you can see that his skin is blood red.

It is a puppet made from Xianyu Yanhe's corpse.

It has the strength of the Youjing realm, is a puppet itself, has an extremely strong body, and combined with the blood essence of a wild beast of ninth quality, ordinary Youjing cultivators cannot defeat it.

The deep pool before them was beyond the reach of even Kong Ju's spiritual vision.

Who knows if there will be any danger inside? For such a risky thing, of course we have to use puppet refining to explore the way.

"Let's go!" As soon as Xianyu Yanhe appeared, he rushed towards the Black Water Lake under the control of Kong Ju.

Plop! With a splash of water, Lian Kui's entire body disappeared under the water.

At the same time, Kong Ju lightly tapped his forehead with his finger, and the golden bean of his consciousness immediately emitted light.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The divine puppet training is activated.

Kong Ju's consciousness entered the body of the puppet.

Through the perception of the puppet's body, Kong Ju first sensed the coldness of the black mysterious water, and a sticky feeling that enveloped the puppet like a swamp.

Fortunately, this puppet's body is strong enough. Although its speed is hindered by the black water, it can still move freely in the water.

Kong Ju controlled the puppet refining to go deeper and deeper.

He discovered that the lake was not as small as it seemed.

It's very deep beneath the surface of the water.

Lian Kui swam downstream for several miles before he finally touched the bottom of the lake.

Since black water has the property of absorbing light, there is no light at all underwater, and it is pitch dark at the bottom of the water, so vision is completely useless.

Kong Ju had no choice but to use the puppet training to activate the power of his spiritual consciousness and spy on the scene under the lake.

What is strange is that Kong Ju's spiritual power can now cover an area of ​​nearly a thousand feet in the outside world.

But under the lake, it was weakened more than ten times.

I can only see an area of ​​a hundred feet in radius.

"This water is too strange. It can even drain the power of spiritual consciousness." Kong Ju sighed secretly and tried to control the puppet to move underwater.

Since the range of spiritual awareness is limited, let the puppet be moved.

At this moment, a ray of light flashed again under the lake.

Its color was blue with a hint of black, exactly the same as the light Kong Ju had seen on the shore before.

Moreover, under this lake, the brilliance is particularly eye-catching.

A flash of light illuminated the pitch-dark bottom of the lake.

"The black water that even sunlight couldn't penetrate was actually penetrated by that light."

Kong Ju sighed, and at the moment when the light covered the surroundings, he saw the source of the light through the puppet refining.

It is a plant that is blue-black in color and has seven purple leaves.

Its roots penetrated deeply into the iron-hard bottom of the lake, and a strange flower shaped like a lotus bloomed.

It’s a pity that the brilliance was fleeting.

Before Kong Ji had time to take a good look at the plant, the light emanating from its body suddenly dimmed.

Darkness returned to the bottom of the lake again.

Kong Ju recalled the appearance of the plant he had just seen in his mind, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"That plant looks a bit like the third-grade magical medicine mentioned in the book."

But the time was too short, and Kong Ju didn't have time to see some details before the light disappeared.

But now that he has already seen it, no matter whether it is a magical medicine or not, there is no reason for Kong Ju to let it go.

He immediately controlled the puppet and swam towards the source of the light.

Although the black water has great resistance, the bottom of the lake is only three miles in radius.

Soon, Lian Kui swam to the location of the plant in his memory.

As the distance got closer, the blue-black light emitted by the plant finally became clearer and shone on Lian Kui's face.

Kong Ji also saw the appearance of the plant.

His perspective was mainly focused on the blue-black lotus flower.

In the center of the pistil, there is a cluster of black fruit, occasionally flashing blue-black light.

The source of the light just now was the fruit bursting out from the center of the pistil.

Seeing this, Kong Ju's pupils narrowed slightly, and then he revealed an expression of joy that he could not hide, and blurted out four words: "Soul-Rising Lotus!"

The Soul-Restoring Lotus is a third-grade elixir and the main ingredient for refining the Soul-Restoring Pill.

For cultivators, damage to the soul is more harmful than damage to the body. In severe cases, not only will their cultivation level drop, but they may even lose their lives.

Nowadays, there are almost no elixirs that can heal the soul in the world, and it is almost impossible to heal the damaged soul.

The reason is that the Soul-Giving Lotus had already disappeared in the Xianyun Realm ten thousand years ago, before the spiritual change.

Without the main material for refining the Soul-Returning Pill, how can we refine the Soul-Birthing Pill? The reason why it appeared in this Chaodi Ancient City is naturally self-evident.

This place is a space of its own, and changes in the outside world have no impact on this place at all.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju did not hesitate at all. He controlled the puppet to carefully pick off the soul-giving lotus flower.

He did not harm the roots of the Soul-Giving Lotus.

In the current Xianyun world where spiritual energy is scarce, any extinct spiritual plant must be carefully protected.

Who knows, with the nourishment of this pool of black water, it is possible for it to grow a soul lotus again.

Moreover, this Soul-Bearing Lotus might be the only one left. If it were to be uprooted, it would be against the harmony of nature.

As an alchemist, Kong Ju would never do such a thing.

"Haha, this is a pure surprise. If this Soul-Growing Lotus is placed in Xunyu Pavilion, its value will be at least over 200,000 Spirit Crystals. If it is used to refine the Soul-Growing Pill, its value will double."

Kong Ju looked at the Soul-Bearing Lotus in his hand and laughed.

Before he could indulge in the joy of obtaining the elixir for too long.

Buzz! Under his feet, the lake bottom that looked like pure iron suddenly began to tremble.

The vibration directly caused the flow of water in the entire black lake.

The entire black water lake began to boil.

The sudden change made Kong Ju's heart solemn. He hurriedly controlled the puppet to put the Soul-Resting Lotus into his arms.

Then he turned his head and looked towards the source of the vibration.

With the help of the light emitted by the Soul Lotus in his arms, Kong Ju saw the outline of a giant black beast slowly crawling out from the bottom of the lake.

Because the light was too dim, Kong Ji couldn't see its appearance clearly and could only vaguely see a contour.

Its huge body tore through the lake bottom and walked out of the crack.

A pair of blood-red eyes, like two lanterns, opened in the black mountains and waters, with undisguised anger in their eyes.

Waves of ferocious aura raged beneath the Black Water Lake and pressed down on Lian Kui's body.

"Transform into soul!" Through puppet refining, Kong Ju sensed the exact strength level of the giant beast, and his eyes changed immediately.

Soul transformation is the final realm of the ascension realm.

Ordinary Ascension Wheel monks and Soul Transformation monks are at two different levels, and there is absolutely no possibility of winning.

This conclusion can be drawn by referring to the fight between Kong Ju and Zhou Yufeng.

Moreover, Kong Ju felt that as soon as the giant beast appeared, its eyes were fixed on the Soul-Realizing Lotus inside the puppet refining clothes.

The meaning is self-evident. (End of this chapter)
