"I couldn't help it for the moment. We are all cultivators, you should be able to understand me," Chen Luo said sincerely to Ding Zhao who was recovering to his original state.
Ding Zhao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
If he had a choice, he would have turned around and left immediately.
"The person you are looking for is behind the passage. It's up to you whether you want to go or not."
After being shot in the head twice in a row, Ding Mao no longer planned to waste time talking to Chen Luo. He even didn't want to deal with the green-haired monster anymore. He turned around and took two steps back.
The body was scattered on the ground like ink, and the black juice flowed into the giant sword through the cracks and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chen Luo did not try to persuade him to stay.
This old man has a lot of secrets. Eleven out of ten words he says are false, and the remaining words are already made up before they are spoken. If you do business with such a person, you will be easily deceived if you don't have an absolute advantage.
"We can only let Zi Tianji and the others suffer."
With a sigh, Chen Luo collected the things around him, turned around and left the cave.
It was impossible for him to go there in person, and neither could his puppet clone. The puppet clone had a trace of his soul in it, and if he encountered an immortal who knew how to curse or use the soul technique, he might be in trouble. Even if he didn't encounter an immortal, he would still be in trouble if he encountered some Mahayana cultivators or cultivators who were transcending tribulations.
The world of immortal cultivation is so vast that it is necessary to be cautious.
If I do everything by myself, all my cultivation would be in vain.
"We should give the people below more opportunities to perform."
Outside the cave.
Zi Tianji and the other five were standing outside obediently. When they saw Chen Luo coming out, they instantly perked up.
The five elders and peak masters who were able to call the shots outside were as obedient as quails in front of Chen Luo.
"You all performed very well this time. I will give you credit for your contribution later."
Chen Luo praised several people, especially Li Taixuan and his two companions. They had fished out the old man Ding Mao and helped him solve many doubts. They had made meritorious contributions and could be rewarded with some useless pills later on.
"It is our duty to share the Master's worries."
The mission was completed, and Zi Tianji was relieved. He finally got through this level without any danger. He stood at the front and said loyally. This is the opportunity to show yourself. It is important to do things well, but it is more important to let the people above know what you have done.
"Very good, our Qionghua Sect needs talents like you who are willing to make sacrifices!" Chen Luo patted Zi Tianji's shoulder with satisfaction.
???
Zi Tianji's body stiffened and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Li Taixuan and the other three behind him quickly stepped back half a step, leaving him room to perform.
"There is a passage inside that has not been explored clearly. Taixuan and the other four have low cultivation levels, so you need to go down and take a walk."
"I"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Chen Luo gave him a positive answer, and in order to reassure Zi Tianji, Chen Luo also painted a big picture for him.
"As long as you complete this mission, I will take you to comprehend the Sword Soul Stone when you come back."
"Who else but me should take risks for the sect?"
As soon as he heard the word Sword Soul Stone, all the fear and retreat in Zi Tianji's mind disappeared, and his whole body was like a sword drawn from its sheath, emitting a sword intent that soared into the sky.
Half an hour later.
Zi Tianji, with a nervous look on his face, returned to the area where the black sword was.
With He Chi's previous experience, Chen Luo has found a way to enter the cave where Ding Mao is. Ghost cultivation aura! As long as the person who enters the cave has the aura of a ghost cultivator, he will inevitably be pulled into the cave where Ding Mao is. There may be other methods, but this is the only one Chen Luo has summarized.
"Burn."
Zi Tianji stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and the power of the legendary world seeped in.
An octagonal palace lantern appeared in his hand.
Holding the lantern, Zi Tianji looked at the bottomless passage in front of him and walked in.
The damp and cold air spread up along the soles of his feet, and Zi Tianji shivered subconsciously. He spread his spiritual sense and sensed it, and found that there was an aura similar to the legendary world in this place. His spiritual sense was greatly suppressed here, and he could only sense the area about ten meters around him. He could not sense anything farther away.
“Weird.”
Zi Tianji circulated his spiritual power and slightly dispelled the coldness in his body.
He had only taken one step when the temperature difference was so great that even a Return to Void cultivator like him was affected. If he went down there, wouldn't he be frozen into an ice sculpture?
Tick
Drops of water kept dripping down from the protruding rocks. They hit the bluestone steps, splashing a large area of tiny water droplets. The gaps between the stone steps were covered with green moss, and some dark insects were moving in them. When the firelight shone on them, these insects would quickly fade away, making a rustling sound.
Zi Tianji walked slowly and cautiously.
When he encounters water droplets, he will use his spiritual power to bounce them away to prevent them from falling on himself.
In the long, narrow and cold passage, footsteps can be clearly heard.
The octagonal lantern illuminated an orange area, and the dark shadows were projected onto the stone wall, like a demon.
Half an hour later.
Zi Tianji stopped and looked back. He could no longer see the way back. There was a dark passage in front and behind. The sound of dripping water and the movement of black insects in the cracks of the rocks could be clearly heard. There was no light in front and behind. The palace lantern in his hand became the only light source in this area.
Boom boom boom.
Zi Tianji stretched out his right hand and knocked on the stone wall next to him.
Translucent ripples spread out from the place where the impact occurred, and a palm-sized ginseng baby emerged from it.
"Immortal."
The ginseng baby was a phantom from the world of legends. Zi Tianji used the power of "transformation" to invite the "legends" within the channel. His cultivation was not high, so he could not invite the more powerful "legends". The only ones he could pull over were plant spirits like the ginseng baby, which had little combat power.
"How long is this passage?"
"I don't know."
The ginseng baby shook his head. He was not a real life. There was a long river between the legendary world and reality. Under the premise that there was no return to the void monk, the two sides were almost unrelated. The only connection was the sacrifice in reality and the dream in the legendary world.
"You haven't been down there?"
Zi Tianji was very dissatisfied. He took such a big risk to invoke the power of 'transformation' in the channel, but in the end he didn't get any useful clues.
"My spirituality is very weak. Before the Immortal summoned me, I had never left the legendary world."
The ginseng baby looks innocent.
His meaning was very clear. If you want to get information, just go find those powerful "legendary monsters". It would be a waste of time to look for a weakling like him, and you won't get any useful clues.
Zi Tianji's face turned dark.
He also wanted to ask those powerful "legendary monsters", but that required strength. With his strength at the initial stage of returning to the void, it was hard to tell who would be the winner if a powerful "legendary monster" appeared. It would be fine if this unlucky kid couldn't get the way, but he dared to stab him in the heart. It was really unreasonable.
Disdainfully dispersing the power of 'transformation', Zi Tianji could only pick up the palace lantern and continue downwards.
They walked for another half an hour.
The passage was still bottomless, and the temperature around it dropped a few degrees. The passages around it became narrower, and Zi Tianji could no longer stand and walk like before, and had to bend his body.
“Does this passage really have a bottom?”
A thought popped up in Zi Tianji's mind.
Judging from the distance, the distance he walked in more than an hour was enough to travel back and forth across the entire Taixu Realm, but it was inconspicuous in this passage, which made him a little suspicious. He suspected that he was trapped in some kind of formation.
'Keep going, there is no formation.'
As if knowing what Zi Tianji was thinking, Chen Luo's voice appeared in his mind at the right time.
"good."
Hearing Chen Luo's voice, Zi Tianji felt a little relieved from the pressure in his heart.
He picked up the lantern and continued walking down, this time he quickened his pace.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours
Zi Tianji's speed was getting faster and faster, and the passage was getting narrower and narrower. He could only fly straight at the end. The passage was only half a meter high. Finally, when Zi Tianji flew to the twelfth hour, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear, and a valley with birds singing and flowers blooming appeared in front of him.
The temperature has returned to normal, and the warm breeze blowing over gives people a feeling of being in another world.
"Come out?"
Zi Tianji was suspended in the air, looking back. The place where he flew out before was not a passage, but a hole on the stone wall. This hole seemed to be naturally formed, only the size of a millstone, and he could not sense anything when he scanned it with his spiritual sense.
"What is this place? Is it still in the realm of Taixu Sword Sect?"
Several questions flashed through Zi Tianji's mind.
'Go down and take a look.'
Chen Luo's voice sounded again. Zi Tianji fell from the air upon hearing this. He spread his spiritual sense and swept around like a net. The spiritual sense that was suppressed in the passage was restored.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, an unprecedented sense of relief surged in his heart, and all kinds of earth-attributed magic skills appeared in his mind like an epiphany.
Zi Tianji was stunned and stopped where he was for an instant.
The spiritual power around him began to fluctuate, and after a while, a stream of light burst out from Zi Tianji's body. His whole body was jumping for joy. In just a short moment, his earth attribute magical power actually broke through. Although it was only a breakthrough in the magical power moves, it was already a very rare opportunity for Zi Tianji.
After being promoted to the Return to Void stage, he has not made any breakthroughs in his cultivation for a long time.
Without the 'Tao', the initial stage of returning to the void is the limit.
"Go forward."
This time, without Chen Luo's reminder, Zi Tianji walked forward on his own.
After the epiphany he had just experienced, he also became curious about this place. Before breaking through the Return to Void Realm, Zi Tianji was also a famous genius of the Taiqing lineage, and he had visited many ancient tombs and ruins, but later when his cultivation level improved, ordinary ruins had no effect on him, so he stopped taking risks.
The canyon was very desolate. Zi Tianji walked forward for a while and suddenly saw a small river.
The river is only about seven meters wide, and there is a bamboo bridge in the middle.
At the head of the bridge stood a moss-covered stone tablet with three large characters written on it in black ink.
Gexianju. (End of this chapter)
