On the table below the scroll lay three yellowed jade slips with mottled marks on them. The owner had probably read them many times.
Xiang Sheng picked up the first one and placed it between his eyebrows. A map immediately appeared in his sea of consciousness. There was a red mark in the center of the map, which should be the location of Zhulong's lair.
Putting down the jade slip, Xiang Sheng focused his mind slightly, and the artistic conception of time flowed in his eyes.
The rhythm of time on the jade slip immediately resonated with everyone, like the mist that lingered in the forest all year round, dispersing layer by layer.
With such a rich rhythm of time, the jade slip must have existed for at least 30,000 years.
It has been so long that no one knows whether Zhulong is still there.
Moreover, the route drawn on this map does not match any area in Xizhou.
Combined with the previous daily record jade slips, it is not difficult to guess that this map is most likely pointing to the underworld.
The yin energy in that world is too strong, she cannot stay there for long, so how can she find it?
But just because she couldn't verify it didn't mean Qin Tianque didn't have it either.
But she didn't trust Qin Tianque. If she gave the jade slip to him, how could she guarantee that the information she got was true?
This is not a place for deep contemplation. Xiang Sheng pondered for a moment, then put his thoughts aside, picked up the second jade slip, and scanned it with his spiritual sense. Several obscure and profound secret methods came into view.
Xiang Sheng glanced over a few articles on the general outline of the secret technique, and his eyes suddenly became much deeper.
The method of symbiosis between mythical beasts, the secret method of dispelling the enemy's weapons, the method of mending the remaining sky...
These secret techniques may be performed in various ways, but their purpose is the same: to prolong life.
The method of divine beast symbiosis is not difficult to understand. It is to use some secret method to make the recipient and the divine beast share the same lifespan.
The Heavenly Dao in this world is imperfect, and cultivators cannot transcend tribulations, with a lifespan of only eight thousand years at most. Divine beasts have long lifespans, allowing them to live for tens of thousands of years regardless of their cultivation, let alone those with profound cultivation.
If one can find a divine beast and share his life with it, he will be able to remain in the world for a long time.
This powerful soul cultivator was looking for Zhulong, probably for this technique, but for some reason he gave up halfway and chose to come here to fight to the death with the "Incomplete Technique of Repairing the Sky".
According to the secret method, this incomplete technique is based on spiritual clay, and uses refined essence and soul as the core of life to reshape the body, which can prolong life for ten thousand years.
This method is naturally not as good as the symbiosis of divine beasts.
Most of the time, the powerful soul cultivators encountered some obstacles while searching for the divine beast, so they chose to settle for the second best.
But now it seems that the second one was not obtained. Otherwise, the record in the diary would not have disappeared.
As for the method of dissolving the enemy's weapons...
After Xiang Sheng learned a little about it, he found that this was a method that was purely for seeking death.
The method of dissolving a weapon by force was used in ancient times on cultivators who failed to pass the tribulation.
In ancient times, the way of heaven was intact, but the calamity of heaven still existed.
After a cultivator breaks through the fusion stage and enters the tribulation period, he must undergo the test of thunder tribulation before he can break through to the Mahayana period. After that, everything will go smoothly and when he reaches the perfection of Mahayana, he can ascend to become an immortal.
Thunder tribulation is the last hurdle in becoming an immortal, so it is naturally extremely dangerous. Only a few can survive it, and those who cannot will die.
However, there is always a way out. Under the natural disaster, there is still a glimmer of hope left in the way of heaven, which is the death of the warrior.
If one knows that he cannot survive the thunder tribulation, he can disintegrate into immortality in advance, destroy the vitality of his physical body and become a wandering immortal. He can use his physical body to nourish his soul, increase his strength, and extend his lifespan by three thousand years.
However, if the cultivator is unable to survive the thunder tribulation and recover his vitality within a thousand years, his soul will disintegrate and die along with his body!
She didn't know whether the heavenly tribulation still existed during the period when the soul cultivator existed, nor did she know what the final outcome of the soul cultivator would be.
But in today's world of cultivation, the way of heaven is incomplete and there is no heavenly calamity. If a cultivator uses the method of military destruction, he can only prolong his life by a thousand years, and he will definitely die after a thousand years.
Even if you take the risk of reincarnation, it is much better to be reborn and start over than to die in battle.
Shaking his head, Xiang Sheng picked up the third jade slip and scanned its contents with his spiritual sense, his eyes immediately becoming profound.
This jade slip actually contains a secret method to dissolve the latent Yin energy in the body.
According to the secret method, one only needs to practice a cycle of the secret method every ten days to avoid being invaded by evil spirits.
If you can persist for a long time, you can also eliminate the hidden injuries left by Yin Qi in the body.
Xiang Sheng's gaze lingered over the first two jade slips.
Putting these two jade slips together, it can be seen how much importance the soul cultivator attaches to this secret technique.
Could it be that this senior soul cultivator is not from the Earthly Underworld, and she guessed wrong?
Or is it that... the natives of the Underworld are also unable to withstand the long-term erosion of Yin energy?
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng's mind flashed with the image of the monk named Gong covered in runes. He narrowed his eyes, then stretched out his hand and wiped the blood ring, took away all the ancient books, scrolls, jade slips and bookshelves in the room, and turned to leave.
And just an hour after she left, Dong Jinghuan and the people from the Wanmai Sword Sect hurried over.
“It’s right here!”
Dong Jinghuan turned a corner, raised his hand and saw the open door, his face changed slightly: "Why is the door open?"
Feng Xuan flashed to the door and looked at the empty room with a gloomy expression: "I'm a step too late."
Dong Jinghuan stepped forward and grabbed the neatly cut forbidden pattern on the door, his face as gloomy as water: "This person's attainments in the art of forbidden techniques are extremely deep, I am far inferior to him."
Li Changting came over to take a look and said with a click of his tongue, "The restriction will be broken in less than two hours. Should we chase after them?"
Feng Xuan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "This place is well connected. Two hours is enough for the other party to travel a long way, and it will be extremely difficult to search.
If you have this much time, you might as well look for somewhere else.”
Ge Jun nodded: "Senior Brother Feng is absolutely right."
After saying that, he looked directly at Dong Jinghuan.
Dong Jinghuan understood, closed his eyes for a moment, and pointed to a passage on the left: "This way."
Everyone followed without saying a word.
Xiang Sheng naturally didn't know that Dong Jinghuan was walking together with the disciples of Wanmai Sword Sect behind him, and there seemed to be some kind of guidance method.
She found a map of the palace in the folded bookshelf, and followed the winding path straight to the back hall of the palace.
The entrance to the rear hall is on the left, and if you want to get through, you must go through the main path.
Fortunately, after such a delay of several hours, the clay army organizations in the righteous path had already withdrawn.
Xiang Sheng calmly crossed the main road and rushed along the side road. When he reached the entrance of the rear hall, he suddenly heard a roar from the front.
“This sound…”
Xiang Sheng raised an eyebrow, walked quickly and silently to the corner, and looked inside with his head tilted.
I saw dozens of ragged people crowded in front of a palace door, roaring and banging on the door in a disorderly manner.
Look at these people, their faces are dark blue and their bodies are as skinny as skeletons. They are clearly mummies who have been dead for many years.
Is he a demon who has been overly corroded by Yin energy?
Xiang Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the pieces of clothing hanging on the demon's body.
Judging from their attire, these people must be the first-class servants of the palace. After being degraded into demons, how could they have survived from ancient times to the present?
Or has some changes occurred that she doesn't understand?
Xiang Sheng was surprised when a cracking noise suddenly came from the nearby palace gate. "Five seconds off, I missed perfect attendance. I'm heartbroken and depressed for the whole day. I'll keep working hard o(╥﹏╥)o."
