"Don't worry!"
Lin Zhongtian took the token, patted his chest, and promised solemnly: "I will definitely meet up with you as soon as possible!"
The muscles in the corners of Zhou Tianyi and Liu Ruoqin's eyes twitched, and they both expressed doubts about Lin Zhongtian's assurance.
This guy clearly acted very shrewd and reliable when he was on Qingli Island, but once he left the Star Sea, he became so unpredictable as if his nature had been released.
The two looked at each other and could see the worry in each other's eyes.
But no matter what, things have come to this point and we still have to enter this secret realm.
Soon, the three of them stepped into the blue light gate in front of them one after another.
A blue light flashed in front of Zhou Tianyi's eyes, and in an instant he came from the coral reef to a dark and damp cave.
The world of cultivating immortals is worthy of being called the world of cultivating immortals. The cave in front of us is more like a cave residence than a cave.
The bluestone passage in front of us alone is twenty to thirty meters high.
In the long passage ahead, there is an ancient bronze lamp every ten feet.
Walk straight ahead for thirty feet and you will see a stone chamber that is ten feet wide.
Looking at the stone chamber within sight, Zhou Tianyi did not go over to explore, but took out the token immediately and tried to contact Liu Ruoqin.
After a burst of meaningless noise, Zhou Tianyi finally got in touch with Liu Ruoqin.
"Tianyi, where are you now?"
"..." Zhou Tianyi looked around and said frankly, "I'm in an abandoned cave. It doesn't look like there's any danger."
"Then you are lucky. The Beihai branch sect was attacked suddenly that year, and many cultivators rushed to fight. After the branch sect fell, Beihai Zhenjun used his great magical powers to sink the entire branch sect to the bottom of the sea. The cave you are in should have a lot of things that the previous cave owner didn't have time to take away."
Hearing Liu Ruoqin's words, Zhou Tianyi felt a little relieved.
Then he asked, "Where is Senior Brother Lin?"
"I don't know." Liu Ruoqin's tone was a little gnashing. "Before contacting you, I contacted him first, but there was no response. He either appeared in a place where even the identity token could be isolated, or he deliberately ignored us."
"To be honest, I think the latter possibility is more likely!"
Zhou Tianyi was not surprised at all, and sighed softly: "Ignore him for now, let's explore a little, and then gather at the hall you mentioned."
Liu Ruoqin responded: "Well, this is the only way for now!"
After that, the two of them maintained communication and began to explore the surrounding environment on their own.
Zhou Tianyi came to the door of the stone chamber and looked inside carefully. He found a green cushion in the stone chamber. There was a spirit gathering formation engraved on the ground around it, and many small spirit stones were scattered around.
There is no doubt that this should be the quiet room where the owner of the cave used to practice.
Zhou Tianyi waved his hand to summon three blue shields, which covered him like a shield formation. Then he carefully stepped into the stone chamber and picked up all the scattered spirit stones.
A rough calculation shows that there are about a thousand spirit stones.
Although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing.
Zhou Tianyi put away the spirit stone with satisfaction, and then summoned a golden-haired rat.
This is a second-level demon beast, the treasure-hunting rat. It is a spiritual rat bred by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect specifically for treasure hunting. It is extremely sensitive to the smell of various natural treasures.
Zhou Tianyi took out a red pill, fed it to the treasure-hunting rat, and then put it on the ground.
After the treasure-hunting rat took the pill, its nose twitched, and then its eyes lit up, and it ran quickly towards the bluestone passage ahead.
Zhou Tianyi followed closely behind and soon arrived in front of a black stone door.
The treasure-hunting rat stopped in front of the stone gate, with its two front paws resting on the door, looking back at Zhou Tianyi and squeaking excitedly.
Clearly, something big is coming!
Zhou Tianyi suppressed his excitement, grabbed the treasure-hunting rat and put it on his shoulder. He first tried to see if he could push open the stone door. When he found that he couldn't, he used his hands to make a mysterious seal, summoned three ice-blue flying swords, and continuously bombarded the black stone door in front of him.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Under the bombardment of the ice-blue sword light, the black stone gate continued to emit a forbidden light.
Soon, Zhou Tianyi stopped attacking with a look of regret.
Because he found that his attacks seemed to be ineffective in front of this black stone door.
But it doesn’t matter. As a time traveler, Zhou Tianyi has been able to live freely to this day thanks to his flexible mind.
After a little thought, Zhou Tianyi changed his target and blasted the sword towards the ceiling above his head.
Sure enough, the ceiling was not as hard as the black stone door.
Zhou Tianyi was invigorated and continued to bombard the ceiling, digging out a zigzag passage and entering the stone chamber from the top.
Just as he expected, the cultivators in this world of immortal cultivation were not very smart. They only knew how to cover their heads but not their butts.
And when a door is too solid, the walls in other directions become real doors.
Soon, Zhou Tianyi fell into the stone chamber from the ceiling, and then he took a quick look and his eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw that this stone chamber was hundreds of feet wide. There was a small spiritual field on the left side near the wall, on which grew many second- and third-level spiritual medicines.
On the right hand side is a green pool of water that is a hundred feet wide. In the center of the pool is a stone platform with a green cushion placed on it. Rich spiritual energy emanates from the pool and fills the entire stone room.
It is obvious that there should be a third-level spiritual vein under this green pool of water.
The spiritual field next to it was opened up because of this third-level spiritual vein.
Upon smelling the scent of the elixir, the treasure-hunting rat on Zhou Tianyi's shoulder's eyes suddenly lit up and pounced over without hesitation.
Fortunately, Zhou Tianyi was quick-witted and grabbed the treasure-hunting rat from mid-air and stuffed it into the beast-taming bag despite the rat's resistance.
"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Zhou Tianyi's eyes lit up, he ran happily towards the spiritual field and began to harvest spiritual herbs.
…
Compared with Zhou Tianyi, Liu Ruoqin's luck was not so good.
As soon as she entered the secret realm, she fell into a valley shrouded in fog, where there were thousands of one-horned rhinoceros monsters.
According to Liu Ruoqin's speculation, these rhinoceros monsters should be edible monsters specially raised by the Beihai branch in the past.
But now, the North Sea branch has fallen, and these monsters that were originally just food are able to develop on their own in this precious land.
To date, there are not only hundreds of second-level rhinoceros monsters in the monster group, but also dozens of third-level one-horned rhinoceros monsters, and a third-level peak one-horned rhinoceros king.
If it is converted into the realm of a cultivator, that is, the peak of the Golden Core stage, it is a monster beast that is about to form an infant and transform.
Liu Ruoqin was naturally no match for a monster of this level.
She could only try her best to control her breath and escape from the valley in fear.
…
At the same time, in a black forest five hundred miles away from here, a handsome young man in a purple robe sat on the back of a giant silver tiger, leisurely looking at the surrounding scenery.
Before entering the secret realm, Lin Zhongtian thought that this was an underwater palace complex similar to the Dragon Palace.
But after entering, he discovered that the so-called Sihai Sect ruins was actually a completely independent world.
In addition to the palace complex located in the center of the secret ruins, there are also continuous mountains and endless forests.
"As expected of the super power in the Starry Sea back then, it really has a bit of the meaning of an immortal sect!"
"It would be even more interesting if those palaces could be suspended in the air and surrounded by a sea of clouds..."
While thinking this, Lin Zhongtian looked at the surrounding environment with interest.
Suddenly, a black tiger with scarlet eyes appeared from the shadows of the woods.
The silver giant tiger paused, turned around and glared at it. A terrifying aura spread out. The black demon tiger's body suddenly stiffened and it quickly lay on the ground, trembling, not daring to move.
"Well, a peak third-order demon tiger, and a female one at that—Chang'an, are you interested?"
"roar!"
Chang'an roared in dissatisfaction, saying that the black tiger was too ugly and he looked down on it.
Fortunately, Changan is just a tiger. If his race were changed, there would be more than 10,000 comments...
Lin Zhongtian smiled and patted Chang'an's head, signaling it to continue moving forward.
Soon, Chang'an and Lin Zhongtian stopped in front of a magnificent palace.
Just as Lin Zhongtian was looking at the palace with great interest, a blue light suddenly flew out from the palace and turned into a blue shadow about three meters high in front of him.
The phantom was wearing a blue robe, had an old face, a tall figure, and exuded an aura as sharp as a sword.
...It is worthy of being the secret realm of the Four Seas Sect. One can actually easily encounter the residual soul of a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage!
Lin Zhongtian showed amazement on his face, then he took out the Void Jade Card with great interest and took a picture of the blue shadow in front of him.
The blue shadow looked at Lin Zhongtian's confusing behavior with some surprise.
Although he didn't understand what Lin Zhongtian was doing, since the other party came to his inheritance hall, it meant that the other party was qualified to inherit his mantle.
Thinking of this, the blue old man's face became solemn, and he looked at Lin Zhongtian and said in a deep voice: "I am the North Sea Sword Master, the leader of the Four Seas Sword Masters. When the Four Seas Sect fought with the cultivators from the upper realm, I had a premonition that I would fall, so I left my inheritance here."
"Since you can enter the secret realm of my Beihai branch sect, it means you are a descendant of my Sihai sect. And since you can overcome numerous crises, pass through the forest of death, and come to the place of my inheritance, it means you are qualified to inherit my mantle."
...multiple crises?
Forest of Death?
Lin Zhongtian looked back at the black forest behind him in surprise.
Eight hundred miles away, three Nascent Soul stage demons that had already transformed were hiding in a dark cave with fear on their faces, trying their best to restrain their aura for fear of being discovered by the terrifying silver demon tiger.
At the same time, the blue shadow or the remnant soul of Beihai Sword Master did not pay attention to Lin Zhongtian's actions, but continued in a deep voice: "Behind me is Beihai Sword Master's inheritance hall. As long as you pass the three levels in the hall, you can inherit my mantle--"
"etc!"
Lin Zhongtian hurriedly stopped Beihai Sword Master, then, under the puzzled gaze of Beihai Sword Master's remaining soul, he took out his identity token and excitedly transmitted the message.
"Junior Brother Zhou, Junior Sister Liu!"
"Come to me quickly!"
"I found the inheritance place of Beihai Sword Master!"
