In the swamp, what looks like ordinary grass may actually be a sticky mud pit. If you're not careful, you can get stuck and slowly sink.
Moreover, the swamp was filled with a strong, pungent stench.
This is the stench emanating from the mud pit. If it weren't for the antidote, everyone would have been poisoned if left there for too long.
Above, towering trees blocked out the sky; looking up, all you could see was the dense foliage and branches, with almost no sky visible.
In such a place, the group found their journey very difficult.
Fortunately, they could still see markings along the way, indicating that Fan Guangxin and his group had gone deeper into the area.
After walking for a day, they stopped in front of a cave entrance when it got dark.
The entrance to this hole looks strange.
Su Qing felt that it looked somewhat familiar, and finally her pupils shrank as she said, "This seems to resemble the ruins of the Gobi Desert."
When Mu Zihan and the others took a look, they realized that it did indeed look somewhat similar.
“I once read in an ancient book that in ancient times, powerful beings possessed boundless magical power, and mortals could sense their power, so they built altars. These mortals offered sacrifices to the ancient powerful beings, and these sacrifices were transformed into incense and prayer power. With the replenishment of incense and prayer power, these ancient powerful beings were able to become even stronger and eventually become ancient gods,” Su Qing said.
"Could it be that these ruins are altars?" Mu Zihan asked.
“Very likely,” Su Qing said.
Su Qing appeared calm as she spoke, but her heart was already churning with turmoil.
Unexpectedly, she was able to come here again in this lifetime!
In her previous life, she had entered a secret realm.
The entrance to that secret realm appeared by chance, and she entered it unconsciously.
Su Qing was framed by Shui Qingrou and was on the verge of losing her life. She forced herself to enter a mirage to escape Shui Qingrou's pursuit.
Su Qing was on the verge of death when she collapsed on the Gobi Desert.
She was exposed to the scorching sun on the Gobi Desert for three days and was on the verge of death when a strange wind came and swept her into it. When she woke up again, she found herself in an ancient ruin.
Su Qing didn't know what was going on at the time; she was locked in a stone chamber.
The stone chamber was empty. Su Qing recuperated and healed her injuries inside the chamber. It wasn't until ten days later that she was able to move her body with difficulty. Only then did she discover that a set of sword techniques was carved on the wall of the stone chamber.
"The Subduing Elephant Sword Technique".
When Su Qing joined the Cloud Sword Sect, the cultivation method she received was only of the lowest grade. Not only was her cultivation slow, but the Cloud Sword Sect was also extremely poor, without a single Foundation Establishment Pill. Su Qing cultivated to the peak of the Qi Refining stage, but she was still unable to establish her foundation.
After being framed by Shui Qingrou, she was poisoned and her meridians were damaged. She thought she would never be able to cultivate again.
In my mind, I was just thinking, since things have already come to this, I might as well give this sword technique a try.
Unexpectedly, after Su Qing practiced the Subduing Elephant Sword Technique, her meridians were opened.
The venom was then cleared from her body, and her cultivation even improved slightly.
Unfortunately, Su Qing didn't have any Foundation Establishment Pills, otherwise she could have established her foundation immediately.
After Su Qing mastered the sword technique, the door to the stone chamber opened automatically. Su Qing walked out of the stone chamber and realized that it was actually an altar.
She was hiding in the darkness at the time.
She met the dazzling disciples of the five major sects!
They were all at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, just like her, but each one of them was dazzling.
They all possessed top-grade magic treasures, and the disciple robes they wore were made from defensive magic treasures. The talismans and pills they casually tossed out were treasures that Su Qing had seen in the Cloud Sword Sect's library but had never had the chance to see before.
Su Qing was stunned and hid in a corner, not daring to move. She thought to herself, "Is this how Su Ruoshan joined the Xuanling Sect?"
Is she just as radiant?
Thinking this, he glanced around at the disciples of the Xuanling Sect a few more times, but did not see Su Ruoshan.
At that time, Su Qing thought that even with her poor aptitude and three spiritual roots, she was at the peak of the Qi Refining stage and about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Su Ruoshan's aptitude was even better, and she was probably already at the Foundation Establishment stage, which was why she hadn't come to the secret realm.
She certainly didn't expect that Su Ruoshan had already started to enjoy the relaxed cultivation environment of the Xuanling Sect, and after several years, she was only at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage.
Su Qing remembered that after the cultivators from the five major sects fought in front of the altar, Yan Ziying of the Wuji Sect was finally recognized.
Yan Ziying was radiant at that moment, and Su Qing was completely stunned.
Because she saw Yan Ziying, with her Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, fuse Heavenly Fire and Netherflame on the altar.
Afterwards, the secret realm dissipated, and Su Qing was ejected from it, returning to the Gobi Desert once again.
During that secluded encounter in the secret realm, Su Qing obtained the Fuxiang Xiaoxiao Sword Technique, which can be considered a stroke of luck. Of course, she also witnessed the grandeur of the disciples of the five major sects.
From that day on, Su Qing became different.
Su Qing took a deep breath, trying to find herself again from her memories of her previous life.
In this life, she doesn't want to only obtain a technique like the Subduing Elephant Sword Art. In this life, Su Qing has decided that she wants to obtain the Heavenly Flame Nether Flame.
“Let’s go in!” Mu Zihan said.
Upon entering the altar, there is a passageway leading directly underground.
Although Su Qing had been here in her previous life, she was already in the stone chamber when she woke up. After seeing the altar, she was ejected.
Su Qing really didn't know what was inside.
The walls of the passage were made of a luminescent mica, so it was brightly lit when you entered.
After walking about a kilometer, we came to a large, domed room. This room was so big that it was surrounded by stone chambers, densely packed together.
Some are closed, and some are open.
Su Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.
It's this kind of stone chamber.
Could it be that each of these stone chambers contains a secret manual?
"Why don't we go in and take a look?" Mu Zihan said.
“Let’s go in together,” Wen Yougui said.
They walked together toward one of the stone chambers, but as soon as Mu Zihan stepped inside, the stone door slammed shut with a bang.
Everyone was locked out.
"Senior Brother Mu!" Wen Yougui was startled. He had already stepped inside with one foot. If Su Qing hadn't pulled him back quickly, his foot would have been crushed by the suddenly falling stone door.
"I'm fine!" Mu Zihan's voice rang out from inside the stone gate.
At this moment, the people from the outer sect finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thousand Machine Puppet Technique." Su Qing looked at the sign outside.
It turns out that this stone chamber has a traditional name.
"Heavens! There's a puppetry technique here!" Mu Zihan's voice rang out. "Junior brothers and sisters, you should go explore the other stone chambers first. I think I've encountered an opportunity here. I need to study this puppetry technique carefully."
Upon hearing that Mu Zihan was alright and even had a chance, the other Xuanling Sect disciples' eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, after obtaining the sea buckthorn dragon spirit fruit, they were also able to inherit its legacy.
