After a thorough observation, Zhou Qing identified the venerable person here and kept him in mind.

Compared with other geniuses in the Manifestation of the Holy Spirit and Cleansing Marrow Realm, these venerables are obviously more threatening in terms of their realm.

Crossing the border and possessing the combat power of a Venerable, or even killing a Venerable, is the ultimate way to reach that realm.

These practitioners who are at the Yin Shen Zhen Xue realm are already in that realm, and they can be more comfortable in many environments.

After all, this Dark Ancient Temple is not a planned training ground, and there is no rule that only those below the Yin God True Blood Realm can enter.

As long as they are willing, practitioners at any level can go in and explore.

Wherever Zhou Qing goes, he will be restricted by his realm. People stronger than him cannot enter, which makes it convenient for him to kill as much as he wants. There is no such good thing in the world.

This is reality, not storytelling.

"Brother, don't worry about these venerables."

Lu Yuanyuan said in the mental network: "The ones with extremely high realms and extremely strong strength among the venerables will not appear here."

"Senior Sister Lu is right."

Shi Yi explained: "Although it is impossible to judge from the outside what size the Underworld Ancient Temple is and how many treasures it contains before the exploration is completed, everything is possible."

“But generally speaking, its specification level is still related to the place where it was born.”

"The closer you get to the Dark Ancient Temple deep in the sacred mountain, the higher its average specifications will be. For example, this unborn temple cannot attract the strongest among the venerables."

"We will still have to face more dangers from the temple itself."

Those masters can get more and greater benefits by going to other places. Fighting in a temple of this scale will only be counterproductive.

This doesn't mean that they would just leave the ready-made treasures unused. With their strength, they might be very competitive against other peers.

But in any ancient temple, the greatest danger is always the temple itself. Even for a strong one among the Venerables, it is not safe to enter such a temple.

The temple itself is somewhat special. The forbidden magic arrays and various protective creatures inside have a lower limit, but they also have the meaning of becoming stronger when facing a stronger opponent.

Especially the restriction array, combined with the entire temple, if all the restrictions explode at the same time, the power can be imagined.

Therefore, even if a real master comes, it is impossible to do a sweeping purchase, and instead he has to bear the risks.

There is really no need to take risks for some unknown treasures in the temple that was born in this location.

In fact, if there were no treasures in the Ancient Nether Temple that could be used for the Three Condensations and Three Dispersions, then this place would have no appeal to Murong Yanran, who was at this level of the Xuan Du True Teachings.

A temple that cannot attract masters among the Venerables will naturally not be able to attract the Ten True Disciples.

The ten true disciples are not as wealthy as Zhou Qing, but their wealth cannot be underestimated.

It’s just the condensed and dispersed treasure, which is an exception.

Of course, if the news that this temple contained earth-grade opportunities spread, then this place would have been surrounded by a large number of venerables long ago.

Unfortunately, others cannot predict it in advance.

"I don't know how long it will take for this temple to be born."

They came early, so if nothing unexpected happened, they would probably have to wait.

At this moment, someone suddenly approached the five of them, attracting Zhou Qing and the others to look over.

The visitors were a team of three, one of whom was actually a young man from the Snow Tribe.

"Greetings to all the Taoist friends from Xuandu Temple."

The young man from the Snow Tribe introduced himself with a friendly smile on his face: "My name is Midu, from the Yuchi Holy Mountain of the Snow Tribe. I am one of the Holy Sons of the Holy Mountain. These two are fellow practitioners of the Snow Mountain Sect."

Yuchi Holy Mountain, like Tianxuan Holy Mountain, is one of the seven holy mountains of the Snowman Tribe and has a revered status.

There is not only one holy son in each holy mountain of the Snowman tribe, but also a holy daughter, which is similar to the true teachings of Xuan Du.

This Midu has a very high status in the Snow Clan. In terms of status, he can talk to Zhou Qing and others.

The Snowmen look very similar to humans, with only some minor differences. As can be seen from their tribal name, this tribe actually considers themselves human.

Therefore, the relationship between the Snowmen and the Humans is relatively friendly.

In addition, the Snow Clan as a whole rarely goes to war with the human race, so when the two tribes meet, they usually give each other face.

At least when there is no conflict of interest, this face is still useful.

"Daoyou Midu."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "I am Zhou Qing from Xuandu Temple. What can I do for you?"

"You must have come here for this Hades Temple."

Midu said: "But as you can see, there are quite a few Taoist friends who have come here for this purpose, and it looks like this temple will only be unveiled in a day at the earliest, so there will surely be many more Taoist friends coming later."

"With your strength, you are definitely not afraid of competition, but it would be a good thing to have fewer opponents. What do you think?"

"Daoyou Midu has a point."

Zhou Qing looked at Midu and asked, "I don't know what you mean?"

Could it be that they want to unite with us and kill some of the people here first? Are the Snowmen so brutal? "I am not talented, but I have some attainments in formations and restrictions, and I have a rare treasure that is specifically designed to break restrictions."

Midu looked at the lake, "But this is the Minggu Divine Mountain, the forbidden array is profound and unfathomable, and my treasure cannot break it, but I can find its weak points and make it unstable."

"If we take the opportunity to attack the restriction, as long as we have enough power, we can significantly weaken the restriction in a short period of time."

"By then, the temple may be able to appear immediately, or at least the time can be shortened. After entering the temple, everyone will rely on their own abilities."

Zhou Qing and Ao Xuanwei looked at each other and then said:

"That's a very good idea."

If we can enter the temple earlier, there is no need to wait outside.

Midu continued, "After my investigation, I have gained a certain understanding of the lake's restrictions. If everyone works together, we will have a 70% to 80% chance of success."

"In fact, the three of us arrived here only about an hour earlier than the five Taoists. After arriving here, I have been investigating the restrictions. I just happened to see the five Taoists coming, so I wanted to ask for your opinions."

"If you agree, then I will be more confident when I talk to other Taoist friends about this plan later."

This is Hanzhou. The majesty and status of Xuandu Temple are indisputable, and no force can match it.

Midu wanted to unite the strength of everyone, so Zhou Qing and the other four were naturally his first targets for persuasion and cooperation.

When the others saw that Xuan Du Zhenchuan had agreed to Midu, their impressions were completely different.

If Zhou Qing and the others do not agree, then when Midu joins forces with others, there will inevitably be suspicion.

Even Xuandu Zhenchuan doesn't agree with you. You, a member of the Snow Clan, are proposing this plan. Is there any conspiracy behind it?

Zhou Qing looked at Ao Xuanwei and the others, and Murong Yanran said secretly: "You can agree to it. Even if he has evil intentions, I have a way to keep everyone safe."

Zhou Qing thought the same thing to me.

Even if Midu was up to no good, he still had the means to protect the five of him.

What's more, there are many masters here. If the three people from Midu want to do something wrong, they are bound to suffer.

Even if the lake ban breaks out completely, it is impossible to destroy everyone here.

“We can cooperate.”

Ao Xuanwei and the others also expressed their opinions, so Zhou Qing said to Midu: "If fellow Daoist wants to intervene in the ban, then the five of us are willing to help."

Midu smiled slightly, "With the help of five of you, this matter will be mostly done. I will convince the rest of you fellow Taoists."

"Thank you for troubling Daoist Midu."

Midu said a few polite words, then turned and left to find other people.

Their communication was aboveboard to show that they had no ulterior motives.

Watching Midu wandering around, Lu Yuanyuan smiled and said, "This fellow Taoist from the Snowman tribe is really a timely help."

Shi Yi said: "If his idea can be realized, it will also help us."

“Well, it’s a help indeed.”

Of course, this matter is also beneficial to Midu. After all, the three of them cannot shake the ban.

Others will benefit from this, and Midu himself will definitely not suffer any loss. This is a win-win situation for both parties.

"I seem to have heard of this man's name."

Ao Xuanwei suddenly said: "It seems that he is a rising star in Yuchi Holy Mountain. He has a high status in Yuchi Holy Mountain and is highly valued."

"oh?"

Zhou Qing asked: "Is there any other information about Midu?"

"He seems to be a hybrid of the human race and the snow race, but he has alien blood, so he was accepted by the snow race. I heard that he has a good reputation in Yuchi Holy Mountain and the Snow Mountain Sect."

Ao Xuanwei recalled: "I learned this from my friends in the Snow Dragon Tribe when I went to the Shiwan Snow Mountains last time."

Zhou Qing nodded, "Since the reputation is good, then I believe this matter won't be a big problem."

Even people with good reputations cannot be guaranteed to have no bad intentions at times like this.

But at least he is more trustworthy than a notorious person.

“I didn’t expect that this ancient temple would attract people from the Snow Clan.”

"This is quite normal. If you stay here for a long time, you will see many people from the Snow Clan. The practitioners in Hanzhou are generally not hostile to the Snow Clan, so they can move around Hanzhou without any hindrance."

The same is true in reverse.

"Brother."

Lu Yuanyuan then said to Zhou Qing: "In the future, if you need any resources that are unique to the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains and the sect can't find them, you can go to the Snow Mountain Sect to have a look."

"I see."

Zhou Qing nodded, "I have seen this Snow Mountain Sect in the sect's books."

The Snow Mountain Sect is a relatively interesting force in Hanzhou.

This is a sect mainly composed of humans and human-snow hybrids. It is very powerful and has close ties with the Snow Clan.

The Snow Tribe does not prohibit intermarriage with other races, but the prerequisite is that the mixed-race offspring born from the intermarriage are of Snow Tribe foreign blood, like Midu.

If you are not of alien blood, you will not be considered a member of the Snow Clan. And if you are not a descendant of alien blood, it is not a good thing to stay in the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains all year round when you are weak.

The Snow Mountain Sect is where those mixed-race descendants who are not of alien blood go.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

In this context, the Snow Mountain Sect is actually a force supported by the Snow Clan.

Perhaps in the beginning it was just a place to accommodate non-alien blood descendants, but over time, when the Snow Mountain Sect grew to a certain size, its nature naturally changed.

Because it contains both humans and mixed-race people, it is located in the territory of Hanzhou, but it has an inseparable connection with the Snow Clan.

It is impossible to say which side the Snow Mountain Sect belongs to completely, because its composition is indeed very complex.

So gradually, the Snow Mountain Sect became a buffer zone between the human race and the Snow Clan, as well as a channel of communication.

The Snow Clan needs the resources of the human race, so the Snow Mountain Sect is one of the main channels, and the same goes for the human race.

Having a stable trading channel and location is much better than the human or snow tribe directly rushing into each other's sphere of influence and running around everywhere. This is good for both parties.

The Snow Mountain Sect is very lively all year round. People from all ethnic groups can be seen here, sharing what they have and getting what they need. It is very prosperous.

With Zhou Qing's current status, if he has any needs for Snow Clan resources, he can go directly to the Snow Mountain Sect to purchase them.

"roar!"

Suddenly, a beast roared, and then a fierce aura came from afar, approaching here quickly.

Everyone looked and saw a gigantic two-headed dog beast striding towards them, looking very majestic.

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, "True blood beast..."

The two-headed dog glanced at the crowd, a look of brutality flashed in its eyes, but it did not make any unnecessary movements and found a place to lie down.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "It was so loud that I thought it was coming to clear the place."

Ao Xuanwei glanced at the two-headed dog, then looked away.

"Even if it is a wild beast, it knows that those who dare to come here now are not simple and will not be so stupid."

The situation where someone thinks he is so powerful that he randomly picks someone to establish his authority upon arrival is impossible to happen here.

Shi Yi said: "This is a wild beast born in the Minggu Divine Mountain."

“So it’s a local beast?”

Zhou Qing was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he understood.

The local animals also want to make progress.

The wild beasts in the Ancient Dark Mountain follow the same growth patterns as those in the outside world. When they reach the True Blood Realm, they will become psychic and have their own territories. It is normal for them to compete for treasures as they are intelligent.

On the other side, Midu had already contacted quite a few people. After he had a certain number of contacts, he did not communicate with them one by one, but directly shouted loudly:

"My fellow Taoists, I am Midu, the Holy Son of the Snowman Clan and the Holy Mountain of Yuchi. Please listen to me."

"This is a restriction, I..."

Next, Midu expressed his plan and mentioned that many fellow Taoists had agreed to join forces with him.

Like Xuandu's true story...

"I wonder if fellow Taoists are willing to contribute a little. Let us work together to speed up the creation of this ancient temple!"

“We are willing to help!”

Someone immediately responded that it was the person who had just been contacted by Midu.

The others fell into deep thought, their eyes shifting between Midu, the lake, and Zhou Qing and the others.

"Yes, I am willing to join this matter."

Finally, some people began to express their opinions, and then there were voices of agreement one after another.

In the end, most of the people who were not contacted by Midu also agreed.

"good!"

Midu said: "If everyone works together, we will surely be able to build this temple in one fell swoop!"

Then Midu took out a shuttle-shaped treasure, poured power into it, and the treasure began to glow.

“Swish!”

With a sound of breaking through the air, the divine shuttle flew out directly and landed at a restricted position on the lake under Midu's control.

A rotating diamond of light appeared at the tip of the divine shuttle, constantly hitting the point where it landed.

The lines suddenly began to flicker rapidly, changing light and darkness quickly, and began to twist, as if the flow was not smooth.

"boom!"

The ban suddenly responded, power surged, and the lake water was turbulent.

But Midu did not stop and continued to drive the divine shuttle, causing the forbidden patterns to become more and more distorted.

"This should be a treasure that can break the ban."

Ao Xuanwei said this to Zhou Qing and others.

"This Yuchi Saint seems to be proficient in forbidden magic arrays."

Zhou Qing also learned about the treasure that could break the ban from the Tianyuan Formation Sutra.

This is a rare treasure refined by a master of formations, specifically designed to target the weak points of various restrictions.

This kind of treasure does not have specific grade classification like magic weapons; it all depends on the refiner's attainments in formation.

At the same time, if you want to use the treasure that breaks the ban, you must also understand this. Otherwise, even if you are given such a treasure, you don’t know where to use it.

Lu Yuanyuan said: "Midu has such ability, I am afraid he is one of our biggest competitors in the temple."

Zhou Qing laughed when he heard this.

"It's okay. I have a feeling that we will definitely be the biggest winners in this trip to the Hades Ancient Temple."

"No matter how high Midu's attainments in formation are, they are only three people. How can they be a match for the five of us?"

The golden finger clearly indicates that only five people with the blood of the five beasts can get the last chance.

Midu and his people definitely do not meet the requirements.

Unless he can break the ban on the entire temple, but this is simply impossible.

When Lu Yuanyuan and the others heard Zhou Qing's words, they did not understand the meaning behind them. They just thought that Zhou Qing was confident in the strength of their team.

After a while, Midu waved his hand, and the magic shuttle flew towards him, while Midu shouted:

"My fellow Taoists, now is the time to attack the position just now!"

Without hesitation, everyone took action, and attacks fell on the place where the divine shuttle was just now.

The roar continued. Under such a powerful attack, a venerable would be beaten into ashes immediately if he tried to withstand it head-on.

The ban on the lake surface flickered more rapidly at this moment, and then suddenly dimmed at a certain moment.

“Boom!”

The ground suddenly shook, the barrier dimmed, but the bottom of the lake became brighter than ever before, and the shadow of the temple became clear and real in a short time...

Finally, a corner of the eaves poked out of the water, which was like a signal. A moment later, a series of palaces were seen rushing out from the bottom of the lake.

The area of ​​the temple itself was actually larger than the lake! It rushed out of the lake and then covered the entire lake in turn.

The main body of this continuous palace seems to be made of a special metal, decorated with colored glaze, carved with dragons and phoenixes, with pillars standing one after another, and the top seems to be made of fine jade.

There are four doors on the four sides of the palace. On the door facing Zhou Qing and his friends, there is a lifelike dragon engraved on it.

Using spiritual perception to sense the other three sides, the other three doors were engraved with a phoenix, a black tortoise, and a white tiger respectively.

Zhou Qing's heart moved. This seemed to be related to the hint from the golden finger.

"call!"

The air flow was whistling, and four gates opened at the same time. Zhou Qing and his companions rushed directly into the True Dragon Gate without hesitation.

Some people saw this scene and were afraid. They were clearly in the direction of the True Dragon Gate, but chose to enter from other gates.

I would rather contend with the Venerable than fight with the Ten True Disciples of Xuan Du.
