The earth spirit monster controls the power of the earth and lives underground all day long. When it moves in the soil, it has a strong ability to hide and is almost silent, so it will not be discovered by anyone.
Just like when you walk around in your own house, how can people passing by your house know what you are doing?
Earth escape is a Taoist technique that humans need to learn for cultivation, but for earth spirit monsters, it is an instinct. They can move freely in the earth by nature, and the effect is much better than normal earth escape.
The thick earth is their best cover.
Zhou Qing planned to use the body of an earth spirit monster, with the help of various treasures that could conceal his aura, to sneak up to the giant elephant from underground, open the treasure chest while it was napping, and run away.
The beasts were dumb, so it was impossible to detect him while he was hiding.
Perfect plan.
If his actions were observed by the masters on Black Mountain, it would be easy to explain. They could just say that he borrowed a treasure from Lu Qingmo that could transform souls, and after the transformation, he could use some of the abilities of the transformed object.
Anyway, that’s what I said to Ao Xuanwei before.
Doubt? What's wrong with Xuandu Taoist Temple having such a treasure? It's the national religion of Daqi, and the immortals are in charge. You can go directly to the door to question it, but you can't rob it.
Lu Qingmo was able to obtain peerless Taoist magic through chance in his early years. What's wrong with him getting another magical treasure without anyone knowing? Don't meddle in the affairs of peerless geniuses.
As for what to do if the giant elephant finds out when opening the treasure chest to take the treasure...
Of course I ran away.
With Zhou Qing's spiritual cultivation, there was no way this giant elephant could take him down. Now that he had the treasure in hand, he could do whatever he wanted with it.
It is precisely because of the powerful soul strength that Zhou Qing has the confidence to do such things.
It’s best not to be discovered. Come quietly, leave quietly, and be well on your own.
If he is discovered, just force him. He won't be in danger anyway.
All I can say is that there is a lot of room for this wave of operations.
He first opened up an underground space in the form of an earth spirit monster. After making sure that there were no wild beasts around, Zhou Qing quietly sneaked towards the giant elephant.
After reaching the treasure chest, he just thought about it and the box opened directly.
A claw stretched out from the ground and then quickly disappeared.
Because they had left the earth and were very close to the giant elephant, although the beast was unintelligent, it was at least in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, so the dozing giant elephant suddenly roared and trampled on the ground.
It looked around, trying to find the insidious little demon that had snuck up on it.
But after some observation, there was nothing.
He looked again at the treasure he was guarding, and it was not lost, and his child was not in any accident.
The giant elephant was stunned. Its walnut-sized brain couldn't comprehend what was happening.
The dark hand in the dark, just sneak up to it and stretch out a hand to greet it? Forget it, continue to sleep.
Zhou Qing quickly returned to his physical body and left.
When the work is done, he will leave, hiding his achievements and fame.
After a while, the blessed land of Black Mountain appeared in front of them, about a hundred meters away from Zhou Qing.
When we arrived at this area, there were no wild beasts. It was very safe, and it seemed like a peaceful and tranquil place, like a holy place on earth.
Zhou Qing looked at the Black Mountain and could clearly sense that there was something covering the entire mountain, isolating the inside and the outside.
Let those stupid beasts ignore that place and not attack it.
This should be a formation set up by the mountain god, or some other divine means.
Zhou Qing guessed that it might also have the function of gathering the vital energy of heaven and earth so that it would not dissipate.
He walked towards the Black Mountain, and suddenly a black shadow flashed at the foot of the mountain, and then he saw Venerable Tianhe appear there.
From the last test by the mountain god, it can be seen that the Yun family in the Black Mountain seemed to want this Tianhe Reverend to contact the outside world and show up in public.
Zhou Qing quickened his pace, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
"No need to be so polite." Yun Tianhe said with a smile:
"Come up the mountain. I'll take you to get the Xuanteng Divine Armor."
Then Yun Tianhe explained: "The divine armor has been refined, but because you said you would come to get it yourself, it is still with the Black Fire Ant Tribe."
"I will take you directly to the Black Fire Ant Tribe. With their assistance, I will help you refine the divine armor. This will speed up your refining process and allow the divine armor to recognize its master more thoroughly."
"Otherwise, if you take it back and refine it yourself, it will still take some time."
Zhou Qing nodded. He didn't expect that he would get such a benefit when he came to get the armor.
It's a bit like an unintentional success.
This in itself is not a problem. He can make the divine armor recognize its master without the assistance of the black fire ants. It is just a matter of time, so Yun Tianhe did not mention this before.
But since he came in person, I might as well help him again and save Zhou Qing some time.
Zhou Qing stepped onto the Black Mountain and followed Yun Tianhe up the mountain. The path was winding and full of primitive flavor.
"You have been promoted to bone refining?"
Yun Tianhe asked, but there was not much doubt in his tone, and it was obvious that he had already made up his mind about this matter.
Zhou Qing nodded, "Thanks to the help of the Origin Divine Pond, I saved a lot of time."
It is not surprising that his martial arts skills were seen when he was in such close contact with a Yin Shen Venerable.
His means of concealment were not absolutely effective. There were very few means that could conceal one's cultivation level in front of practitioners at a higher level.
Moreover, cultivators are better at perception than warriors. At least at the Yin Shen True Blood stage, warriors cannot catch up with them in this aspect.
"You have achieved such an achievement because of your own talent. There is no need to be modest. Although the Origin Divine Pool is useful, it was already the limit for you to break through a small realm at that time. It is more about enhancing your potential."
Yun Tianhe shook his head, speaking with emotion.
"You are indeed a peerless genius who has risen against the sky in just a few months. Few people can match your speed."
"With your current cultivation speed, it won't be long before I have to call you a fellow Taoist."
Zhou Qing is like the rising sun, full of vitality. His changes and improvements can be said to be extremely rapid, and becoming more and more brilliant.
Although Yun Tianhe cannot be said to be a setting sun that is about to fade away, it is indeed difficult for him to make further progress given his current state of mind.
One is making rapid progress, while the other is unable to break through the barriers of heaven and earth. It is entirely possible for one to catch up with Yun Tianhe in cultivation.
Not only Yun Tianhe, every practitioner will encounter such a situation.
Even if a master on the Mountain and River Common People Ranking is invincible, there will not be a day when he will be caught up by latecomers.
Like Zixiao Tianjun, before he was even born, Suidi, Dragon Emperor, Xuandu Temple Master and others were already masters of the fairyland who dominated the world.
Later, Zixiao Tianjun ascended to heaven. Regardless of whether his strength could be compared with those predecessors in the fairyland, at least his realm had reached a higher level.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
It is normal for the predecessors to be overtaken by the successors. This is the charm and magic of time, which is incredible.
You don't move, but others do.
Yun Tianhe asked Zhou Qing some questions, and while Zhou Qing was answering, he was also looking around.
After opening the giant elephant treasure chest, the next treasure chest refreshed on this mountain, but he has not seen it so far.
It should be somewhere higher.
In this regard, Zhou Qing just wants to say that we should increase our efforts.
The higher the treasure chest is, the better. The higher the position, the higher the level is estimated to be.
Just don't go to the Daohua Jueyu on the top of the Black Mountain.
Yun Tianhe noticed Zhou Qing's moving gaze and asked with a smile:
"Are you interested in this place?"
"After all, it is the only blessed place I have ever come across." Zhou Qing admitted frankly and said:
"The information about the blessed land in the world is too legendary. There are endless legends. There are immortals' dojo, magical places connecting the immortal world and the human world, and so on."
"This is the first time... the second time I've entered this top-level place for cultivation in the world."
He was here last time.
Yun Tianhe smiled and didn’t think that Zhou Qing’s behavior was weird or abrupt.
In this world, which cultivator does not yearn for a blessed land? "Although Black Mountain is also a blessed land, it is not the best among them. In the future, you may have the opportunity to occupy such a blessed land."
Yun Tianhe was modest for a moment, and then said, "If you have the chance in the future, you can go to Xuanfa Mountain, the gate of Xuandu Temple, or the Book Mountain and Sea of Learning of the All Saints Academy. Those are the top blessed places in the world, and the cultivation environment is like a fairyland."
Zhou Qing heard this and smiled helplessly, "Your Excellency, please stop praising me. It's not that easy to occupy a blessed land."
"It's hard to say whether there are still ownerless paradises in the world. I don't have the ability to do that."
As a lone strong man, unless you are on the list of the most powerful people in the world, it is basically impossible for you to occupy a paradise by yourself.
Two fists cannot beat four hands, and even a tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves.
Zhou Qing heard from Lu Qingmo that the reason why the mountain god was able to occupy Black Mountain alone was not only because he and the Yunjiang Dragon Palace helped each other, but more importantly, there was another hidden story.
Yun Tianhe said: "You still have hope."
"After you get the divine armor, you can take a walk in the mountains if you like."
Zhou Qing was delighted. He was just waiting for these words! If he couldn't move freely, how could he find the treasure chest?
So Zhou Qing did not refuse and accepted the invitation directly.
"Thank you for your care, Your Excellency. Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will never go to a place that I cannot go to."
"There is no place on this mountain that we can't go to." Yun Tianhe shook his head.
"The demons and wild beasts living in the Black Mountain often move around in the mountains. This is normal."
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the black fire ant tribe's territory.
Yun Tianhe seemed to have notified this place in advance, so a middle-aged man was already waiting for them.
The man had dark skin and there seemed to be flames flowing in his hair.
Yun Tianhe introduced Zhou Qing: “Reverend Black Fire, the current leader of the Black Fire Ant Tribe, and a master of weapon arts.”
"Hei Huo, this is the owner of the Black Vine Divine Armor, Zhou Qing, who has an extraordinary talent."
"Greetings, Lord Blackfire." Zhou Qing said.
Regardless of whether it is a human or a monster, the one who is more capable comes first, and because of the Yun family, the other party is obviously a friendly unit.
He also trained weapons for Zhou Qing, so it was natural for him to respect the Black Fire Lord.
Lord Blackfire nodded, looking not very interested in talking, and turned to walk inside.
Yun Tianhe privately sent a message to Zhou Qing:
"Black Fire is just like this, he doesn't like to talk, but he is extremely powerful."
Zhou Qing nodded slightly, without any objection in his mind.
There was no demonic energy emanating from this Black Fire Venerable, but Zhou Qing could sense that his body was very strong and did not look like a demon at all.
This made Zhou Qing have some guesses. Could it be a demon that practiced both soul and martial arts?
