Rumble! The mountains and rivers trembled, and one formation after another sprang out from the ground, forming a large circle again.

Amidst the dazzling spiritual light, Shen Lian’s voice was heard simultaneously from more than ten locations.

"I won't disturb you friends when you get together."

At this moment, Shen Lian realized that the three people in front of him were the protagonists of the secret realm.

"I haven't seen you for many years. You have already reached the Golden Core stage. I have a magic skill that I wanted to give to you. Unfortunately, you didn't give me face and killed my clone right away, which made it so hard for me to catch up with you."

Heiya's words reminded Shen Lian of what happened outside Haijiao Fairy City that year.

That year, he was still a young foundation-building expert, and he ran away in a panic like a dog.

Inside the formation, Shen Lian was also feeling annoyed.

We don't have enough experience in setting up formations in this secret realm. The formation is too restrictive after it is circled. It's okay to deal with normal Jindan cultivators, but it may not be easy to deal with the three in front of us.

"In the future, we need to include non-human species as well. The targets of prevention cannot be limited to humans and ordinary alien races."

His worry was not without reason. Just look at the insects, tree roots, and grass surrounded by the formation. None of the three guys showed any fear.

I am really speechless.

Moreover, the three guys in front of him are just immediate problems, the real crisis comes from outside the secret realm.

Previously, with the help of spiritual herbs, he killed dozens of Jindan cultivators.

Most of these Jindan cultivators are elders from major sects, and they must have left soul lamps in the sect.

Especially for the second-tier Jindan forces, the death of one of them would cause a huge earthquake to the sect.

Not to mention, there is also Jin Jian Zhenren, the cultivator who holds the Yunshang Sect's inherited magic weapon.

The fall of so many golden elixirs will inevitably trigger a chain reaction among the external sects.

Maybe, the strong men from Yunshang Sect are already on their way.

It’s better to keep one more hand.

When Shen Lian thought of this, the Five Elements Spirit Puppet clones appeared on the colorful gourds floating in various places in the formation, and each clone took out a crystal ball in his hand.

This is a photo ball.

He also forgot which market he bought it from, but anyway he used it today and it was not wasted at all.

He just couldn't believe that with so many old guys in the world of immortal cultivation, they were not interested in the two non-humans in front of them.

"My friend, this thing comes from the Immortal Palace. It is made from the essence of heaven and earth. It is comparable to the precious medicine in the world. How about we share it?"

Seeing that Shen Lian was hiding in the formation without saying a word, the old demon Heiya continued to persuade him and pointed at the sword-shaped spiritual herb.

“…Dirty stuff.”

The shadow on the sword-shaped spiritual grass was so angry that it started yelling again.

Heiya didn't care about this at all, and said to himself, "You just saw it, this grass has a special liking for cultivators with five spiritual roots. I don't need to say more about the consequences once it controls you."

"shut up!"

Although the spiritual grass's intelligence was still evolving, it understood that Heiya was trying to sow discord between them. It didn't even have a puppet now, and if it was really eaten, it would be really tragic.

"I and five... five... five spiritual roots... yes, yes, yes..."

Then, Shen Lian saw a scene that he had never seen before.

Seeing that he could no longer speak, the four remaining leaves of the sword-shaped spiritual grass shook violently, forming ripples that moved towards the dead tree roots where Heiya was.

Black ripples also appeared on the roots of the dead tree. The two waves collided in mid-air, continuously generating huge waves.

The two energies also made a chirping sound.

“Yo yo.”

The remaining little bugs looked up, and a green light flashed on their bodies. The void twisted and their bodies gradually became ethereal.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

“Chichi!”

“Puff!”

A blade of grass and a piece of tree root were communicating fiercely, leaving Shen Lian completely confused.

How important it is to learn a cross-species language.

With his perception, he could only sense that the two were communicating, and the ripples contained fluctuations of divine thoughts, but he had no idea what specific information it was.

But one thing is certain, the two may be combined.

The sudden disappearance of the small insects also made him very alert.

In a flash, Shen Lian drilled into the underground spiritual vein, rolled up the storage ring that the black-horned ant had collected, and prepared to escape.

At this moment, a storage ring appeared in his hand.

This storage ring was not picked up, but belonged to him, and contained a spiritual object.

It was the leaf of the spiritual herb that he had cut off with his sword before.

Before, I would like to know why he wanted to chop off a piece of spiritual grass leaf. It was because he was a little dizzy after making continuous moves. He saw that he tried his best to destroy the spiritual grass, but it was snatched away by a piece of tree root and a small insect.

Shen Lian, for some unknown reason, just swung his sword casually.

But he had been cautious for a long time, so when he collected it, he directly put it into a separate storage ring and added several seals.

Apart from the hidden crisis, this sword was not in vain, at least it weakened the strength of the spiritual grass.

After fighting with the spiritual herbs, Shen Lian understood the current combat power of the spiritual herbs and there was no need to worry.

The real danger came from the old demon Black Cliff and the bug that just escaped. His divine sense was unable to sense how it disappeared.

It is rumored that when the old demon Heiya was in the Wanxing Sea, he was able to fight with the ancestor of the Xuanhai Sect who had reached the great perfection of the golden elixir.

We must be more on guard against our current strength.

I really want to just leave.

“Chichi!”

At this time, one of the leaves of the spiritual herbs that were talking intensely bent and pointed towards a certain place in the formation.

And the direction he pointed to was exactly where Shen Lian was hiding.

Without hesitation, Shen Lian ran away.

I knew that the two alien species would work together.

"idiot."

Seeing the action of the spiritual grass, the old demon Heiya cursed inwardly.

Does it need to be so obvious?

It seems that the intelligence of these spiritual herbs is indeed a flaw, and that insect also looks confused.

"My dear, why are you leaving again?"

"Wait a minute, how about you and I join forces to kill this magical herb, and then we can leave the secret realm."

"Don't worry, I never bear grudges."

"You killed several of my disciples and stole the spiritual objects that I spent decades planning. I have long forgotten these trivial matters."

"Do you think you can hide in the secret realm?"

"All the plants and trees in the secret realm are the eyes and ears of this spiritual herb. Although its intelligence is not complete, its power of possession is far beyond your imagination."

Shen Lian sneered at the words of the Black Cliff Demon. In terms of the power of possession, the old demon's methods were even worse.

At this moment, the crow is simply standing on the black pig and sees that it is black.

Besides, even if you guys are the only ones with spies, his black-horned ants will soon crawl all over the secret realm.

"Oh, by the way, the plants and trees here are also my spies. As long as you are still in the secret realm, the ancestor will be able to sense your presence."

“…”

"This grass is different from me. It just told me that it likes you very much and really wants to take you as its host."

"Your five elements magic power can help it nourish its essence and serve as the nutrients for its transformation into a sword spirit tree."

"If it doesn't become a spiritual tree, this grass will eventually wither."

"Kill the spiritual herbs, and I will give you a magic method. This method is very suitable for the cultivation of cultivators with five spiritual roots. It is a method engraved on the Five Elements Immortal Tree in the Immortal Palace."

"You should be familiar with the Five Elements Palace."

"I, this grass, and the little bug just now, all fell from the Immortal Palace when it descended upon the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World more than a hundred years ago."

Shen Lian, who had already left a mark with the shadow ball, pulled it hard.

Wow, this is some big news.

This news is enough to become the number one topic on Tiannan’s topic list and attract the attention of the old man in the Nascent Soul stage.

"How about it? Not everyone has the opportunity to practice the Five Elements Immortal Technique."

After hearing what the Black Cliff Demon said, Shen Lian was even more afraid to join forces with it. This was tantamount to trying to get the skin of a tiger.

Among the three guys that fell from the Five Elements Fairy Palace, the Black Cliff Demon looked the most sinister. The rest of the grass spirits were not fully intelligent, and the bugs looked like idiots, and they even acted cute towards him.

"Don't believe it. It is an evil thought born from the filth of heaven and earth."

At this time, the voice of the spiritual grass sounded, and it was amazing that it spoke so clearly this time.

Unfortunately, Lingcao's words were interrupted by the Black Cliff Demon.

It was originally a careful voice transmission, but it suddenly turned into a group chat among three objects.

Heiya's mouth was filled with resentment. "What an evil thought! You claim to be born from the essence of heaven and earth, but you still want to absorb the blood and flesh of living beings. From the moment you absorb blood, you are no longer pure."

"Wake up, Cao, you are already dirty."

"Either you become a filthy, evil tree like me in this life."

"Or let me swallow you up and leave some immortal spirit in the world."

Looking at the trembling spiritual herbs and then at the bewitching Heiya, Shen Lian realized that Heiya was truly a master.

All these years in the world of human cultivation have been worthwhile, as I have learned all the essence of the human race.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Human, you help me transform into a spirit tree, and I will help you enter the Immortal Palace and obtain the complete Five Elements Immortal Art."

Lingcao's words became more fluent at this moment, as if they had suddenly become clearer.

"The part of my body you just cut off can help you make further progress in a short time after refining it."

…

Whoosh! A cloud of red smoke went straight into the void from afar.

Then, red smoke began to rise into the sky one after another, as dense as fireworks, and it seemed to be scattered here and there without any pattern.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lian frowned.

Here we come!

So fast!

The red smoke was released from the demonized black-horned ant. As a cautious person, Shen Lian had prepared this thing long ago.

There is no technical skill involved. It is just a wisp of smoke sealed on a small animal skin, and then attached to the abdomen of the black-horned ant. After camouflage, it looks like a layer of skin.

Once the black-horned ants sense a terrifying aura entering the secret realm, they will release red smoke.

Since the black-horned ants have low intelligence, there will be a scene with red flames scattered here and there in a random pattern.

As long as the black-horned ants are carrying smoke-sealing magic, they will activate it when they see red smoke appear.

In fact, the black-horned ants move too slowly.

The sound of a dragon's roar was heard in the secret realm, coming from far away in the sky.

A vast blue ocean appeared between heaven and earth, and in the huge waves of the ocean, a white and blue dragon came through the air, swallowing up the clouds and mist.

Above the hundred-foot-tall demon dragon stood a man with a disdainful look.

Yunshang Sect’s new Golden Elixir Great Perfection Master Yunlong.

Even though they were separated by the vast void, Shen Lian still felt a chill.

The spiritual power of the person who came was too strong. Even if he did not use any spiritual power, it still made people feel frightened.

I have to say that the Yunshang Sect arrived at the right time. There were only three lively spiritual creatures left, and they came in to pick the fruits.

"My two Taoist friends, I can't beat him, so I'll leave first."

Sensing the arrival of Master Yunlong, Shen Lian did not hesitate at all and ran away.

But before leaving, a spiritual light flashed in his hand, and a spiritual leaf emitting dazzling green light was attached to the flying sword and flew towards the direction of Master Yunlong.

This is not the end yet. One after another, the shadow balls flew out with a whoosh and flew in all directions.

Divert trouble away.

Send a big gift to Yunshang Sect.

"grumble!"

Seeing Shen Lian running away.

The old demon Heiya took a look, and with a whoosh, he turned into a black light and smashed into the ground. Before leaving, he grabbed a shadow ball.

"My friend...you really deserve to die!"

From deep within the earth, a rumbling sound was heard.

“Chichi!”

Seeing this, the spiritual grass screamed and stretched out a slender root, trying to catch Shen Lian's body back.

However.

A green light flashed in the air, and the little bug came out again and bit the leaf.

The small body bit the leaves and ate them in big mouthfuls, while dragging the spiritual leaf in the direction where Shen Lian fled.

"Don't come over here!"

He sensed Shen Lian outside with his divine sense and was shocked when he saw the little bug.

Is this bug mentally retarded?

He finally threw it out, but it was pulled back again.

Fortunately, the insect was not very stupid. It watched the mist in the air evolve into a big hand, threw away the half-swallowed leaf, and rolled towards Shen Lian.

“Yo yo.”

Before Shen Lian could react, the little bug suddenly appeared beside him and bit his finger.

It doesn't hurt.

It is to drain his five elements of magic power.

…

As luck rolled over, there were bursts of dragon roars, and Master Yunlong came riding a dragon, with half a spiritual leaf and a few shadow balls in his hand.

The divine consciousness rammed into the image-retaining ball without any hesitation.

The contents in the photo ball were all edited by Shen Lian, and everything related to him was deleted.

The main features are a blade of grass, a piece of tree root, and a bug.

As he flipped through the contents of the photo ball, the aura of Master Yunlong shook slightly, and suddenly the void in all directions was injected with a terrifying aura and became sticky.

"Oh……"

His eyes swept around, looking at the collapsed ruins on the ground and the remaining formations.

"Can you leave?"

It would be difficult to defend in the outside world, but this is a secret place, a natural place to catch turtles in a jar.

As soon as he noticed the fall of the golden sword, he knew that big changes had taken place in the secret realm.

…

"Pah."

After escaping far away from the core area, Shen Lian frowned and pinched the little bug, pulling it out to a foot long, but still failed to pull the little bug off his finger.

After trying several times, I finally pinched it off.

Not only was the bug shameless, it also curled up and landed on the bun on his head.

"I raised you, so you can't be my enemy."

In desperation, Shen Lian reached out to his head and tapped the bug.

“Yo yo.”

…

"Search it inch by inch and turn it all out."

The secret realm became lively again, with teams of foundation-building monks wearing Yunshang Sect robes riding spirit ships and flying boats across the sky.

A mirage dragon hundreds of feet in size stirred up the wind and clouds back and forth.

One by one, the direct descendants of the Yunshang Sect’s Jindan cultivators soared into the air.

However, after searching for several days.

"Sixth Elder, not found."

"There is still one disciple missing."

Master Yunlong frowned.

The tree roots were not found, the magical herbs were not found, the insects were not found, and even the people were not found.

I lost one myself.

A bunch of trash! ...

"My friend, how about we join forces?"

Shen Lian, who was hiding in the spiritual vein and setting up a formation, frowned when he saw a figure wearing the uniform of the Yunshang Sect poking out of the mud.

"Well, the flame in your hand can be dispersed now. It's so spiritual that it will attract the monks from the Yunshang Sect, which is not good."

Shen Lian shook his fingers, and a flame danced on his fingertips.

Looking at the monk with yellowish green eyes, he said softly, "It's okay, light it up, it's dark, I'm afraid you'll get impulsive."

"My friend, I can help you enter the Five Elements Palace and obtain the complete Five Elements Immortal Technique."
