"This secret realm has a great impact on our flight. It seems that it is difficult to use the escape light to travel quickly."
Lu Qing felt a little heavy-hearted.
With his background and foundation, even flying in the sky would be difficult for him.
For other cultivators who entered the secret realm, even those in the late Jindan realm with innate superior golden elixir, it would probably be more difficult for them to fly than him.
"It seems that this secret realm is different from the large secret realms that have appeared in the sacred mountain before. No wonder it was so abnormal when it was conceived this time."
Taoist Wubao also looked unhappy.
This means that most of the information he had worked so hard to collect in Tianshu City would become useless.
"Why is the secret realm that appeared this time so strange? What are the opportunities and treasures in the secret realm?"
Taoist Wubao was extremely puzzled.
Why did so many cultivators flock to the Tianshu Sacred Mountain after the news of the secret realm appeared? Even many sects and forces far away in several continents sent their elite disciples to Tianshu Continent.
Isn’t it because over the past tens of thousands of years, every time the secret realm of Tianshu Mountain is revealed, it is accompanied by a large number of opportunities and treasures?
But this time they have entered the secret realm for some time, and so far, they have not found any treasure.
Even this secret realm looked very barren, not like a treasure land that could produce a large number of opportunities and treasures.
And where have all those monks who entered the secret realm early gone? Why can't I meet anyone?
Many doubts arose in the mind of Taoist Wubao.
"Even you don't know, so I have no idea either. It seems we can only think of a solution as we go. Our most urgent task is to find a way out first."
Lu Qing looked around. He had not seen any other living creatures in the forest yet.
But somehow, he always felt that there was a sense of danger lingering in his heart. It was not strong, but it always existed.
This shows that this secret realm is not as peaceful as it seems.
“According to the information I collected before, after entering the secret realm, there are two ways to get out again.
One is to return along the same route you entered the space vortex.
The second method is to use the secret realm beads in the bodies of some powerful spiritual beasts in the secret realm.
However, this time the secret realm is so strange, it is hard to say whether this second way will work or not. "
Taoist Wubao was not sure.
"No matter what, we have to try it to know." Lu Qing said, "Master, you are good at fortune-telling, why don't you tell us which way we should go?"
"Divination? That's a solution." Taoist Wubao's expression changed when he heard this. "Although the rules of heaven and earth in this secret realm are different from those in the outside world.
But if you are just asking about good or bad luck, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Daoist Chen, please help me protect the Dharma for a while."
Taoist Wubao was also a decisive person, and he immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Then he took off a black ancient tortoise shell from his waist, put a few copper coins into it, and blew a breath of vital energy onto the tortoise shell.
As the magic formula was pinched, the black tortoise shell suddenly floated in the air, emitting bursts of brilliant light and spinning around.
After more than ten breaths, the black turtle shell suddenly turned over, spitting out the several copper coins, which fell to the ground.
Taoist Wubao put away the tortoise shell and looked at the coins carefully.
Then, his expression changed slightly.
"Master, how is it? Is there any result?" Lu Qing asked when seeing this.
"The hexagram shows that among the eight directions, three are slightly auspicious, four are slightly inauspicious, and one is a sign of great misfortune!"
"A bad omen?"
"Yes, it is due north. The hexagram shows that there are very scary things over there. It is extremely dangerous." Taoist Wubao said with a serious face.
"In that case, let's go to the direction shown for Xiaoji."
Lu Qing thought about it and suggested.
Although he has enough confidence in his own strength.
But a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This secret realm is now full of weirdness and is obviously not an ordinary secret realm.
He didn't intend to take any risks before he figured out the details of this secret place.
What if the danger level of this secret realm is extremely high? The so-called minor danger may also be a major danger that is difficult for the Jindan realm to resist?
“Then I will go southeast if I can’t, but Fellow Daoist Chen, I need to make it clear in advance.
The past is unpredictable, and divination is not necessarily accurate.
Even if the hexagram shows good luck, it does not necessarily mean that everything will go smoothly.
For this, please be mentally prepared. "
"I naturally know that. Taoist Priest, please rest assured that I will be careful and cautious and will not let my guard down."
Lu Qing nodded seriously.
Naturally, he would not think that the information obtained by divination was necessarily accurate.
If this is true, then divination and calculation is the most powerful path.
This secret realm was full of unusual things, and even his special abilities were temporarily useless.
How could he let his guard down?
After the two of them discussed it, they set off immediately, turning into streams of light and heading southeast.
This time, they learned their lesson and stopped flying high.
Instead, it only rose a few dozen feet and flew almost close to the treetops.
In this way, although the consumption is not small, it is at least within the range they can bear.
Just like this, the two flew for dozens of miles and saw that there was still an endless forest in front of them. They were estimating how long it would take to leave the forest.
Suddenly, Lu Qing felt a sense of alarm and looked down, only to see a black light coming towards them at a very fast speed.
"careful!"
Lu Qing gave a reminder, and at the same time, with his mind urging, a sword energy had already cut off the black light.
boom!
The sword energy accurately cut the black shadow, and powerful energy burst out, creating waves of air.
The black shadow was immediately knocked back, rolling down continuously and falling back into the woods.
"Um?"
Lu Qing was a little surprised.
He felt that his sword energy seemed to have hit an extremely hard object, causing it to shatter without actually cutting through it.
"What?"
The sudden attack startled Taoist Wubao.
He did not sense the coming danger in advance.
"I don't know, it seems to be some kind of creature."
Lu Qing looked at the forest below with a solemn expression.
He discovered that after the thing fell into the woods, his spiritual sense could no longer detect its trace.
"Ah Qing, it's at the bottom left!"
At this time, Xiao Li's soul transmission suddenly sounded in Lu Qing's mind.
Lu Qing immediately looked towards the lower left side of the woods below, and sure enough, he saw a black shadow flashing.
His eyes focused and the magic power in his body surged out.
He condensed a glazed palm that was dozens of feet wide and glowing with colorful light, and slapped it down.
Boom!
The power of this palm was extremely fierce.
The mountain forest with a radius of dozens of feet below was shattered in an instant. The powerful and boundless force made the vast forest undulate like waves.
Seeing the horrific scene he had created, Lu Qing's expression did not change at all.
He stared intently at the ground below, and sure enough, amidst the debris of trees, a dark shadow was fleeing in panic.
However, no matter how it fled, it could not escape the range covered by the Five Elements Palm.
Lu Qing urged his mind and suddenly clenched the Five Elements Palm. The powerful sealing force instantly suppressed the black shadow so that it could not move and was pinched in the palm of his hand.
Then the Five Elements Myriad Laws Palm quickly shrank and continued to rise. When it returned to Lu Qing, it had become only half the size of a human.
Taoist Wubao stared blankly at the scene in front of him, especially the extremely clear palm print imprinted in the forest below, and was very surprised.
This was the first time that Lu Qing used offensive Taoist magic in front of him.
But the magnitude of its power was so great that he was terrified.
All along, Wubao Taoist knew that Lu Qing’s strength must not be as simple as it seemed.
Otherwise, those inner sect disciples of Qiankun Sect would not have been so respectful to Lu Qing.
Even in his expectation, Lu Qing might have already entered the late Jindan stage.
And now, Lu Qing's action this time confirmed his guess.
The power of this palm is simply beyond the reach of a middle-level Jindan realm.
Lu Qing didn't care about the expression of Wubao Taoist. He was observing what he had just caught.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what is this?"
At this time, Taoist Wubao came to his senses and also looked at the black shadow suppressed in the palm of Wuxing Wanfa.
After taking a closer look, the two discovered that it was actually a creature covered in scales, with a pair of wings, four claws and a long tail, and it looked like a mouse.
"What kind of monster is this?"
After seeing the appearance of the black shadow clearly, Taoist Wubao was surprised.
He had never heard of this kind of creature.
"I don't know." Lu Qing shook his head. "This little thing's body is very tough. Even my sword energy can hardly cut it. Moreover, it seems to have the innate ability to hide its breath. It is obviously not an ordinary creature."
Thinking of this, Lu Qing still felt a little surprised.
How powerful he is now.
Even if he didn't use his full strength, the sword energy he unleashed was not something that an ordinary Jindan realm expert could resist.
Even if a strong man in the middle Jindan realm was hit by his sword energy, he would be seriously injured if not killed.
But the suppressed creature in front of him did not look powerful, it was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
After taking a solid hit from his sword, only a few scales on his body were cut.
It is incredible that a creature in the Foundation Establishment Stage could have such a strong physical body.
More importantly, he did not sense the presence of spiritual power in the body of this strange creature.
The opponent seemed to be purely physically strong and had no other powers.
Although the black creature was suppressed, the murderous light in its eyes remained as strong as ever, staring at Lu Qing and Wubao Taoist Priest.
It seemed as if he had some deep hatred with both of them.
Seeing this, Lu Qing's mind moved slightly. He quietly activated his special ability and looked over there.
Why did he go against his usual behavior and prefer to expose some of his strength in order to capture this strange creature?
Naturally, it is to use supernatural powers to explore its roots and see if we can get some information about this secret place.
As Lu Qing continued to investigate, after a while, a faint golden supernatural light emerged from the strange creature, and several pieces of information floated out.
[Black Rat with Black Scales: A powerful creature from the secret realm of the Tianshu Divine Mountain Trial.]
【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage Completed.】
[The black rat has a unique bloodline, a strong body, and its scales are extremely tough, making it difficult for magic weapons to damage it.]
[This creature has a single intelligence, and for some reason, it has an extremely strong hostility towards all creatures outside the Trial Secret Realm.]
[The creatures in the Tianshu Divine Mountain Trial Secret Realm all have mysterious blood in their bodies. After extracting it and refining it and absorbing it, the strength of the body can be greatly enhanced.]
…
"Black scaled black rat, trial secret realm?"
When Lu Qing finished reading those messages, his heart skipped a beat.
He obtained some crucial information from these notes.
First of all, this secret realm does not seem to be the blessed land that everyone expected in the past, containing countless opportunities and treasures.
It is a secret trial realm that was derived for a certain purpose.
As for what kind of trial it is, no one knows.
But it is obvious that from this point of view, the Tianshu Divine Mountain is really not formed naturally as many cultivators in the outside world have speculated.
Instead, it was built by some superpower or mysterious existence tens of thousands of years ago in ancient times.
It is not clear why this secret trial realm suddenly appeared.
And what does the so-called trial refer to?
"Fellow Daoist Chen, can you tell where this thing came from?"
Taoist Wubao saw Lu Qing staring at the strange creature and couldn't help but ask.
"I can't tell." Lu Qing shook his head, "But the strength of this monster cannot be underestimated, although the aura it reveals is only at the Foundation Establishment level.
But it has a strong body, sharp claws, incredible speed, and can hide its own breath.
In this strange secret realm, even a Jindan realm expert would be very likely to die if he was attacked by it without paying attention. "
“You are right. The spiritual energy in this secret realm is extremely thin, and the space is stagnant. Even our spiritual perception will be greatly restricted.
If you don't know about the existence of this monster in advance, you might be caught off guard if you are suddenly attacked."
Taoist Wubao recalled the scene in which the monster suddenly rushed out from the forest below, and nodded in agreement.
If Lu Qing hadn't been there and he was alone, he would have been seriously injured if not dead.
"This secret realm is getting weirder and weirder. Not only is the spiritual energy thin, but there are also powerful monsters like this. This has never appeared in previous secret realms. It's only the Foundation Establishment Realm, but it's already a threat to us. If it reaches the Golden Core Realm, how powerful will it be?"
Taoist Wubao said with some concern.
The appearance of this monster made him feel the danger of this secret place.
Lu Qing was silent.
Taoist Wubao was right, the creatures in this secret realm were indeed too powerful.
Judging from the performance of this black rat with black scales, if a beast in the late Jindan stage came, even he would not be able to suppress it.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, is this how you plan to deal with this thing?"
"Let's kill it. This little creature is extremely hostile to us. Even if we let it go, it will probably still attack us."
Taoist Wubao looked at the hatred in the eyes of the black-scaled black rat and nodded: "Then let's do as you say, Taoist friend."
Lu Qing did not hesitate. He urged his mind and powerful power burst out, and the suppressed black rat with black scales was crushed to death by him immediately.
