Chapter 46 Chapter 46 MVP settlement reward? ...
As everyone flew forward, the turbulence of the five elements became more and more chaotic. Pei Zhaoting frowned and said, "Not good, it's getting faster and faster."
He scattered the grass seeds he had just collected, and saw that they were swallowed up by the invisible cracks. He said in a deeper voice, "There are more cracks!"
"Why are you secretly increasing the difficulty?" Bai Lu dodged and saw that the corner of his clothes was caught in the gap. Fortunately, Qiusuo and Jin Sunzhi next to him held him firmly, otherwise he would have been caught in the gap as well, and only a corner of his clothes would have been torn.
"We have to get through here as soon as possible."
"How about we retreat and think of another solution?"
This was obviously not a good place to think, and there was no way to retreat. Pei Zhaoting tilted his head, leaving a bloody scratch on his cheek, and indicated the route more concisely: "Right."
But in the next moment, a cultivator from the Yujing Palace behind him was suddenly swallowed up by the rapidly changing space rift. The speed was so fast that Pei Zhaoting was unable to catch him in time even when he reached out his hand.
Before anyone could exclaim, something happened behind him.
You Yue cursed as his entire right hand entered the gap. His eyes widened: "Ahh, it's cold, why is it cold over there? Is my hand going to be gone?!"
Bai Lu was worried about him, even though it might be useless: "Brother, maybe you are going to be in trouble!"
You Yue grabbed Yan Changming who was passing by with his other hand, and his body stopped temporarily, still shouting frantically: "Save me, save me, save me!"
Yan Changming: “…”
Yan Changming grabbed him speechlessly and said disdainfully: "Can you just go there peacefully?"
The next moment, the gap suddenly expanded, swallowing up both groups of people, as well as Yan Changming's curses. He really learned a lot of bad things after coming to the right path...
"Uh, they seem to have died together." Bai Lu grabbed Ning Yanhu, "Senior Sister, what should we do!"
They are the only incomplete group left.
It was too late to report the location at this time, and they could only rely on instinct to rush left and right. Several people were crowded together, and as a turbulent current hit them, they were pushed backwards and fell into a space crack!
Bai Lu only felt a sense of weightlessness, and her whole body fell and then landed on the ground.
His heartbeat hadn't recovered yet, and when he looked up and saw the scene in front of him, his pupils trembled: How did he return to the Thunder Cloud Canyon! And in the canyon, the thunderclouds above his head were already brewing a thunderstorm!
NOOOOO! I didn't ask for a rollback!!
Ning Yanhu, who had landed nearby, took a closer look and instantly let out a sharp roar: "Junior Brother! Dharma Master!!!"
Could it be that the Dharma Master that the senior sister mentioned was Faraday? At such an urgent moment, a thought flashed through Bai Lu's mind. As expected, calling him Demon Master would also be a duplicate of the name, and calling him Dharma Master would also be a duplicate of the name. An ID with two characters is too difficult to grab.
Bai Lu was frantically trying to get the cage out, when a bolt of lightning struck her—
The unlucky wizard was not chopped to pieces. It turned out that Pei Zhaoting jumped up and blocked the attack with his body above everyone's heads!
Brother Pei, this is great! Bai Lu, speed up your hands.
Then, before the surrounding lightning struck again, Bai Lu had already unfolded the cage, and several people rushed into the cage as if they were being chased by dogs. Even Pei Zhaoting was not as calm as usual.
"Huh..." Ning Yanhu's face was still pale. It seemed that even though the senior sister was knowledgeable and experienced, she was still frightened by what happened just now.
"How come this is really an upgraded version of Junior Sister Ding's teleportation array that will randomly teleport us to other places in the secret realm?" Bai Lu thought that it was a good thing that they landed here, with him and Pei Zhaoting. If it were someone else, wouldn't they have been struck to death?
So sinister!
"I don't know where the others are."
Pei Zhaoting looked around and confirmed that the others had not landed in the canyon together. He said decisively: "Let's go directly to the cliff. If they are not stupid or too far away, they will know to meet there."
Everything happened again.
Bai Lu controlled the cage and passed through the canyon with ease. Then, she had to go into the water again. Bai Lu looked at the clothes she had finally dried and Qiusuo beside her, and said in a worried voice, "I have to go into the water again... By the way, Qiusuo, is this level easy for you to pass? You haven't lived for long yet, so you shouldn't have many troubles down there, right?"
Qiusuo said blankly: "In this sea of suffering, I keep thinking of the questions you once asked me, such as..."
Bai Lu glanced at the other cultivators in the group and said, "...Alright! Stop, stop, stop. There are outsiders here. Stop talking."
The monks from Yujing Palace in the same group: “?”
It's so mysterious! I really want to know what secret puppet training techniques Xuanshan has.
"Wait." Ning Yanhu called a halt before entering the water. "I say, this time, how about we each touch a little bit - while we can control ourselves."
Pei Zhaoting hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you talking about the golden lotus root?"
"Yes, Bai Lu cooked a pot before, and he was able to pull out a few roots by himself." Ning Yanhu said as a matter of course, "Don't waste this opportunity now that you are here, Bai Lu, cook another pot, this time put less meat and more lotus root."
"Sure, Senior Sister. I will ensure that you complete the task!" Bai Lu raised her hand.
Others: “…Yeah!”
I'm a little speechless, but I'm really a little greedy...
Several people went through the bitter sea again, and when they came out this time, each of them was holding a few golden lotus roots in their hands. Then, they ran into other people head-on.
Everyone looked at each other.
The clothes of Yan Changming and the others were still wet, and it seemed that they had just crawled out of the sea of suffering not long ago. What was even more tacit was that each of them also had a few golden lotus roots in their hands!
Everyone: “…”
After a moment of silence, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Great, I didn't expect that we all thought alike." Yan Changming couldn't help but say. After he finished talking and joking, he felt something strange in his heart, as if he had unknowingly integrated into this temporary group.
——You Yue felt cold before because the gap on their side led directly to the Sea of Bitterness. He fell directly into it, which saved him a little trouble compared to Bai Lu and the others.
In fact, swimming across the sea of suffering is still very tiring. This is the second time. After everyone laughed and felt their tired minds recovered a little, they began to discuss how to cross the cliff.
The messy and dangerous space before them was temporarily named "Silence" by them.
When they crossed the canyon for the second time, everyone was still divided into groups, but this time they were reorganized. Bai Lu also made two new Faraday cages to ensure that each group had a cultivator in the middle stage of the Thunder Listening Realm and a Faraday cage, so as to prevent them from accidentally falling into the Thunder Canyon again.
Change the calculation method and start again.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. This time they managed to last longer in the empty space. Unfortunately, they were still sucked into three different gaps in the end. This time everyone was mentally prepared: "If bad luck comes, we'll see you here again—"
Before she could finish her words, Bai Lu was already lying on the soft ground.
It turns out that you can't be a pessimist. What you say will come true.
It's a dark and sticky place. The more you struggle, the faster you sink. What kind of terrain is this called?
Bai Lu couldn't think of the word for a moment, and was a little anxious. After a long while, she squeezed out a sentence: "Non-Newtonian fluid!!"
"Swamp!" Ning Yanhu, who almost said the correct answer at the same time, glanced at Bai Lu worriedly, "Is this another hometown dialect? Or is it a dream talk?"
"...Swamp, swamp." Bai Lu was about to fly up when she felt her feet being entangled by something. She looked down and screamed, "Jing Tian Si Di Vine!!"
…
It was burned with difficulty. Now it's good, making up for the shortcoming that Bai Lu was not entangled by the vines of the heaven and earth before.
The group finally climbed out of the swamp, all dirty and with tattered clothes. Fortunately, they were all immortal cultivators, and Bai Lu had countless spare clothes in her space ring, so they just needed to change into a new set.
Bai Lu dried her wet hair while looking around: "Do you think we are heading in another direction? Or after the dense forest, will we pass through the sea of suffering?"
Qiusuo squatted down and sensed the earth's network in a posture somewhat similar to Huo Xuexiang - he was also a wood element after all.
Bai Lu watched his movements and couldn't help but think of her Master.
It was fine when I was busy, I didn't have the heart to think about this or that, but when I suddenly had some free time, it seemed easy to think about Master, especially when he suddenly went offline...
Alas, my master and I are like a newlywed after a short separation.
Bai Lu also knew that he had probably used the wrong allusion, but since no one was correcting him now, he just let him make the mistake for once. He couldn't think of any other wording in this situation.
"In that direction." Qiusuo pointed in a direction.
There is only white but no black in this secret place, so you can only tell time by yourself. And this swamp is in another direction, it took them two days to reach the original cliff, and if they want to reach the sun star position, they must pass through here.
By the time Bai Lu and his group arrived, the other two groups had already tried once and twice, and there were more golden lotus roots on the ground...
I can't even finish eating it. Bai Lu silently picked up all of them and put them into her space ring. Why did she feel like they were okay, while Dichen Jinlian suffered more?
After eight attempts, the group had tried everything they could and were exhausted. They collapsed on the ground and looked at each other in pain.
"This is not good. How can we possibly get through with such a dense crowd at the end?" Ning Yanhu was in a dilemma. Everyone here was at the level of Thunder Listening Realm or above. "Maybe we have to go to the Fairyland to get through?"
"So are we going to stay here? Let me tell you, we have been here for several days and there is no sign of reinforcements..."
Yan Changming also analyzed coldly: "If the reinforcements want to come in, they have to find this place first. If this is really the Qing Emperor's ruins, it is said that it has not been seen for tens of thousands of years. This is because the ruins are hidden in the earth network, and most of them can only be found by the great men of the Wood Clan. The Wood Clan has been in decline for a long time, and there have been no rumors of anyone coming in for a long time."
Wood grows from the earth, and the Wood Clan's knowledge of the earth's network is beyond the reach of other races. For example, the monks of Yujing Palace were able to gather qi into a state, which was also due to the use of the Feng Shui of heaven and earth. The art of Feng Shui actually originated from the Wood Clan, but they still did not realize that the Qing Emperor's Relics appeared on their territory.
"Don't think about those trivial things for now. All we can do is try our best to cross the Silence Cliff." You Yue said in a deep voice.
Who doesn’t want to live like this? Isn’t there anything we can do about it?
Pei Zhaoting had been observing this place for so many times. Formation cultivators were best at seeing the overall situation. He came up with a new idea: "If the rifts here randomly lead to any place in the secret realm, then is there a place that leads to the end?"
"Um?!"
Everyone hesitated. This guess...
Very interesting.
It was so interesting that their hearts began to pound. This was indeed possible, but how could they prove it?
"Let Pei Zhaoting calculate it?" Yan Changming said with a smile. This was indeed the role of the formation master. "But if there is no shortcut at all, then trying to save effort will be counterproductive."
That would take more time.
"But, could this be the correct way to pass the level?" Bai Lu suddenly had an idea. "The Green Emperor is from the Wood Clan. It's hard for us to verify, but what about the Wood Clan? Do you remember what happened in the dense forest?"
What happened? They were in a dense forest, and the roots penetrated their bodies, and finally they were diverted by the water flow.
Plants grow towards water and also towards sunlight.
This entire secret realm is built in accordance with the customs of the Wood Tribe. The center point or end point is the direction of the sun, which is also the orientation of all plants. There is the best light, the best water, and the best air.
"Qiusuo, you come and give it a try." Bai Lu looked at the newly born wood-element spirit. Qiusuo could barely be considered half of the wood clan. "I remember you can do the 'Green Wood Like Life' move."
The green tree you seek can grow thousands of branches and leaves and abundant flowers, which are originally used to protect its owner.
At this time, Qiusuo nodded, closed his eyes, and walked into the silent space. Thousands of branches and leaves grew on his body, slowly extending out, more and more, and reaching into the messy cracks like tentacles.
He searched carefully in the chaotic five elements, where was the direction of the sun?
But Qiusuo actually doesn't have many memories as a life, let alone a member of the Wood Tribe. He grew up in a human settlement, and the memories he has received are all those of humans.
Perhaps only a true wood race can find what they want among these five elements...
"Qiusuo, don't be impatient. Just slowly figure it out. Open yourself up and merge with nature." Bai Lu gathered water and slowly seeped into Qiusuo's skin. "In fact, you are in contact with every element. This is the water you are familiar with. Only with water can you grow."
Pei Zhaoting also lost a spiritual energy, "Water gives birth to wood, making wood sprout, wood gives birth to fire, fire is bright..."
You Yue smiled slightly: "Earth produces gold, just like the withering grass and trees in autumn."
“…”
Dozens of people used just a few sentences and a trace of spiritual power to outline what they had gained, while at the same time sensing the five elements of energy around them.
Seeking to accept spiritual power, calm down, and feel everything, is the body of plants and trees, to find the deepest sense, rather than following any orders...
He needs to make a judgment and decision on his own.
As everyone stared, it was unclear whether a long time had passed or just a moment.
"Over there." Qiusuo opened his eyes and pointed to a crack, "The Sun Star."
"How about it? Let's vote. Are you all willing to try this route?" Bai Lu looked around and asked, "You know, if we fail, we will be exhausted for several days before we can come back."
Yan Changming shrugged and said slowly: "As everyone knows, we demon cultivators love dangerous shortcuts the most."
"The worst that can happen is that we can just start from another place. Don't fall into the sea of suffering. Don't fall into the sea of suffering." You Yue muttered while holding up his palms, and he was the first to jump into the rift.
"Come on." Bai Lu pressed the broom and flew towards the crack!
A blinding white light.
Bai Lu was spinning in the air, and slowly opened his eyes. He saw that he was standing in front of a huge tree. This tree was much more exaggerated than the ones he had seen in the dense forest before. It was so tall that it almost reached the sky. The whole secret realm seemed to be supported by it, which was shocking.
In front of us, there is a hollowed-out section in the middle of the giant tree, into which someone has ingeniously carved an intricate palace.
Vines and mosses crawl on it, and circles of branches and vines are like steps, forming the surrounding space and making this wooden castle in the sky more magnificent.
A ball of green light hangs in the wooden temple, which is also the starting point of all energy.
Looking back, I saw my companions suddenly appearing from the cracks. Seeing this unique architectural style, they stared at it in shock for a long time without saying a word.
Everyone looked at everything in front of them in amazement. Could it be that when the Mu Clan was at its peak thousands of years ago, the buildings had been built in this style?
As if sensing their arrival, a spot of light floated out from the green light ball and hovered in front of them.
Bai Lu exclaimed, "Huh?" Is this the MVP settlement reward?
"Whoever touches, touches."
"Is this the ancient method of communication?"
"The Wood Tribe's way of communicating..."
Qiusuo looked at the ball of light in front of him, and suddenly felt an impulse, and said to Bai Lu: "Let me do it?"
This was also the first time he made a request. For him, who was half a member of the Wood Clan, this thing made him feel close to it.
Bai Lu nodded, and naturally the others had no objections. They watched Qiusuo close his eyes, stretch out his hand to touch the ball of light, and then showed a look of immersion, as if he was sensing something.
When Qiusuo opened his eyes again, he brought new news and said, "As you think, this is the secret place left by the Qing Emperor."
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
They really entered the secret realm left by the Green Emperor? !
You Yue suddenly turned around and said to Yan Changming and Pei Zhaoting: "Thank you!!"
If they hadn't been fighting, how could the secret realm have been opened accidentally?
There are many immortal cultivators in the world, but only a few can enter the secret realm of the Green Emperor!
Of course, what is more important is that they have found the Sun Star. Looking back now, the previous levels are rare challenges that cannot be found outside.
"What else? Did you tell me how to get out?" Bai Lu asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty the Green Emperor is generous. Anyone who enters the secret realm and passes the trial can receive spiritual power as a gift and practice the Sichun Technique. Once the technique is mastered, they will naturally comprehend the method of leaving the realm."
Qiusuo flipped his hand, and the ball of light turned into a jade slip with four ancient characters on it.
"That's actually what I mean. Only after you practice the Sichun technique can you go out?" Ning Yanhu confirmed.
This matter is also recorded. Qiusuo said: "Yes, as long as you inherit the Sichun magic formula, you will naturally know how to open the secret realm and get out. This is equivalent to a key. Afterwards, the secret realm will disappear again in the earth network until the next opportunity."
"Then, let's accept the kindness of His Majesty the Green Emperor?" Everyone was excited but also a little nervous.
It is true that after searching for a long time, you can finally find it without any effort.
After much hard work, they finally understood the secret of Jikong, and now it was finally their lucky moment. Entering the ancient secret realm and obtaining the inheritance of a powerful being, isn't this the story routine that every cultivator has heard of?
Finally they met!
"Si, Chun, Fa, Jue." You Yue looked at the four words on the jade slip and read them with a sigh.
"Senior Brother You, are you illiterate?" Bai Lu turned her head and asked in surprise.
You Yue was even more surprised than him and asked: "...What did you say about me?"
After spending so much time together, everyone knows each other.
Ning Yanhu looked at her sympathetically. It was Bai Lu's turn to call others illiterate.
Bai Lu had been studying ancient characters for so long, and it was finally his turn. He recognized these four characters, and they didn’t mean anything like Si Chun Fa Jue. He said proudly, “You read Si Chun Fa Jue as soon as you saw these four characters. Senior Brother You, you are simply—”
Pei Zhaoting whispered, "It's just what it says."
Bai Lu laughed wildly twice: "That's right, it's just what the words say!"
You Yue: “…”
