Immersed in continuous cultivation, Ye Shuo didn't know how long time had passed. One day, ten days, or a month, it doesn't make much difference to the current state.

As his spiritual power was released, a surging wave of energy formed around his body, and the light on the stone wall continued to shine, and every ancient character seemed to come to life, slowly floating like water lines. The dark blue light poured down, and at the same time, there was a silent aura in his body, as if echoing it from afar, surging and surging.

The plain figure sat safely, two completely different energies were merging with each other, but they collided with each other, forming an obvious dividing line. From the top of the head to the upper half of the body, they are shrouded in a dark blue vortex, like a glass cover that is buckled down the head, and from the waist to the place where the cross sits, there is a pale white flame, like a rotating lotus platform.

As the blue light continued to expand, the flames burned more and more violently, and at first it seemed that water and fire were incompatible, but under careful induction, the fluctuations of these two breaths were infinitely compatible, absorbing each other's essence and nourishing themselves. Now, from the outside, the ghostly light and the white flame are already faintly connected.

After the two masses of energy completely fused into a moment, Ye Shuo slowly opened his eyes.

"It's really weird to say. ”

Staring at the stone wall, but unable to find the answer from the flickering words for a long time, Ye Shuo had no choice but to turn his gaze away, "When I was cultivating here, I had the feeling that I had become the true god of heaven and earth, as if everyone was cheering and worshipping me...... Qingxiangxiong, don't laugh at me, I don't know why this is happening......"

Qingxiangxiong's voice sounded slowly: "According to what you said, it should be the power of faith." When a cultivator cultivates, if he can bathe in the power of faith, it will be of great help to himself. That's why so many people take the initiative to start a sect, just to gain more believers. But why is there so much power of faith gathered here...... And what's even more strange is that faith can only act on individuals, and I have never heard of absorbing the power of other people's beliefs, is it because of your hodgepodge of physique?"

"If you ask me, who should I ask? Ye Shuo helplessly held his forehead, "Qingxiang Xiong, I found that your knowledge is as half-baked as your prediction ability." ”

Sighing, and was about to re-enter the cultivation state, he suddenly felt the storage ring tremble, and then with a "whoosh", a scroll automatically flew out, and the scroll was spread out, suspended in mid-air. The stone wall sprinkled light again, this time Ye Shuo saw it clearly, the words on the wall cast a phantom, as if they were about to fly off the wall, and the scroll couldn't help fluttering, and the spiritual runes above seemed to be being rewritten rapidly, from shape to arrangement, they were constantly changing.

Ye Shuo didn't know whether this change was good or bad, and he didn't know if he should stop it, to be honest, at this moment, he had already been completely shocked by this scene and forgot any action. It wasn't until the entire scroll was "renewed" several times that the light and shadow on the scroll gradually dimmed, and it turned into a flat long scroll again, falling lightly to the ground.

Ye Shuo sat in place, stunned for a while, before he saved himself to pick up the scroll. Re-reading it, although he still couldn't read a word, he could vaguely feel that the sense of oppression exuded by the scroll had been more than several times higher than when he first got it......

"Hey, master, are you hitting a lot of luck?" Qing Xiangxiong exclaimed in surprise, "This cloud-swallowing level secret method...... Although I don't know why, it has already been automatically promoted to the Xuantian level just now! And even in the Xuantian-level secret method, it is definitely a high-end product, and it directly threw off those ordinary secret methods a few streets!"

Although Ye Shuo also had a hidden guess just now, he was still very surprised after being confirmed by Qingxiang Xiong himself.

Before, he had long felt that an ancient inheritance that had been passed down from the beginning of the establishment of the Fu Master Sect and that no one could break for hundreds of years should not be only at the level of Cloud Swallowing Level. In this way, it seems that half of the contents of the scroll have been sealed, and only by coming to this stone wall can you get the key to completely open it. The Mighty One made this second-hand preparation, which can be regarded as another test for the inheritor.

"However, why is this happening? Could it be that the senior has anything to do with this Aragami Tomb?" Ye Shuo scratched his scalp in confusion, "Moreover, there is no mention of any information about the Aragami Tomb in that scroll, and Master Mishen obviously doesn't know, if I hadn't come here by accident, wouldn't I have never had a chance to unlock the seal in it?"

"Ahem, don't think too much, and don't rejoice too soon. Qing Xiangxiong responded, "Although this secret method has become more advanced, but master, you couldn't even cultivate the Cloud Swallowing Level Secret Method, and now that it has been upgraded, your comprehension has not been upgraded, alas-" Qing Xiangxiong spread his hands and replaced his unfinished words.

Ever since Shen Xinglie left, Qingxiang Bear's mouth has become more and more unforgiving. Although its reminder was indeed like a basin of cold water, Ye Shuo was still excited when he clenched the Xuantian-level secret method in his hand.

This one, plus the one given to him by the master in the Xuantian Sect earlier, so that he has two copies of the Xuantian-level secret method, even if it is the children of those big sects, it is nothing more than that. With enough resources at hand, the next step is to see if he has enough ability to turn them into his own strength......

Closing his eyes, Ye Shuo once again sank into a state of cultivation, and time once again inadvertently passed quietly in him.

When he was treating the girl who was infected with cold poison in the town, Ye Shuo had condensed the cold qi absorbed from her body into a Yin Pearl. Now in this extremely yin place, when Ye Shuo tirelessly absorbed the yin qi from all sides, the yin beads that had been honestly suppressed in his body before also began to rotate slowly.

Wisps of yin qi continued to leak out of it, and after being swallowed by the host, drops of extremely cold liquid gradually came out of the yin beads. Every drop contained the purest yin qi, and at first Ye Shuo's soul trembled slightly, but soon, he adapted to this coldness, and his thirst for new yin qi became more urgent.

In this way, the volume of the yin bead rapidly decreased, and in the end, it was completely dissolved. The cold liquid flowing on all sides, accompanied by bursts of bone-eroding cold air, also spread silently in this sea of soul consciousness......

……

One morning a few months later, Ye Shuo quietly opened his eyes.

"Hey, Qingxiang Bear, wake up, I feel like I'm about to break through the bottleneck!"

The Yin Beads in his body, as well as all the Yin Qi that could be absorbed in this ancient tomb, had been completely collected by him, and under the brief induction, his strength should now be in the fifth stage of Qi cultivation.

Although it is only two small levels, compared to the "leapfrog advancement" he is used to, it is not much improvement, but as long as he breaks through the most difficult bottleneck, and at the same time, a large amount of energy storage is accumulated in his body, and when he is promoted to the next level, it is a thick accumulation, and he has a chance to be promoted to the chemical gas level in one fell swoop!

The long-term depression was swept away, and Ye Shuo couldn't wait to find someone to share his joy.

Qingxiang Xiong lazily turned over in his soul: "Oh, it's about to break through, that is, it hasn't broken through yet?"

With a serious sigh, Qing Xiangxiong then rolled again, "Master, your qualifications are really poor enough." Cultivating so far, even if I have touched your light, I have already advanced several levels in a row, and you haven't even broken through the bottleneck?"

"Since it's stained, don't talk about it anymore!" Ye Shuo's face was black, "However, although I haven't broken through yet, the benefits of cultivating here are very obvious." The yin qi in my body seems to have reached saturation. ”

"So next, it's time to go all out to find yang energy?" Qing Xiangxiong quickly said.

Ye Shuo nodded, stood up and stretched hard. Walking to the side of the wall, he pushed a stone brick inside, and after a while, there was a heavy sound of the secret door opening on the upper side, and a ray of light also fell in the distance.

After staying in this dark place for so long, feeling the natural light again, Ye Shuo was very kind. The next goal has been clear, and his journey is about to start again!

The high-spirited young figure soon disappeared at the end of the secret door. Where he had sat before, the stone wall still emitted a faint glow.

And beneath the stone wall, even further underground, there is a real mass grave. A large number of skeletons were piled up scattered, and everywhere they could be seen, they were filled with a deep aura of death.

There are a few white bones stacked in the corner, holding up a skull passively, and two black hole eyes, as if looking up at the free world. Everything under heaven is included in it, but all that is left is emptiness, complete emptiness.

Someone has come and someone has left, they don't know it, their time has stood still. The flesh and bones had long since been dried and turned into dust underground, and those who remembered them were buried one by one. But even though even the proof of existence has completely rotted, they are still waiting, waiting for that breath to be redeemed......

***

Nine Shades Palace.

Mu Hansha held a wine bottle in his hand, stumbling between the corridors, and every way, he raised his head and poured a large sip of wine vigorously, and the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy who passed by also repeatedly looked at him.

It wasn't until the bottle was empty that Mu Hansha poured it down several times to make sure that it couldn't pour a single drop of wine again, and then threw the bottle to the ground. Looking at the debris all over the ground, he raised his hand and was about to smash the jade slip in his other hand at the same time, but after several consecutive blows, he finally lowered his arm in despair, and his body was also leaning against the wall, and his long hair was scattered, which could not hide the bleak heartache.

About half an hour later, Mu Hansha, who came to the Nine Venerables' room to see, had already changed into clean clothes, his long hair was combed neatly, and he no longer looked abnormal except for the unrelenting haze in his eyes.

"Nine Venerables. Mu Hansha bowed respectfully. After Chu Tianyao motioned for him to get up, Mu Hansha's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately knelt down.

"I am appreciated by the Nine Venerables, but my subordinates are not enough to bear this love. Can you ask the Nine Venerables to transfer my recommendation to another person? This is his information......" took out the jade slip that had been prepared long ago, and held it high in both hands.

Chu Tianyao just glanced at him faintly, and didn't reach out to pick it up: "Is this your 'have to do' again?"

Mu Hansha was slightly stunned, and Chu Tianyao had already continued: "This recommended quota is not so casual. If the person you recommend is a mediocre talent, in the future, in front of the master of the Heavenly Palace, he will smash the signboard of our Nine Shadows Palace......"

Mu Hansha hurriedly said: "No, he is a talent, definitely a talent, Nine Venerables, you can assess him alone......"

"Enough. Chu Tianyao suddenly interrupted in a deep voice. Mu Hansha's heart was so cold that he even pleaded and pleaded.

"I don't understand why you're dedicated to living for others, but it's your business, and I won't ask. As for who the referral quota will be for, that's my business. ”

After saying that, Chu Tianyao didn't say anything more and walked straight past him. Mu Hansha knelt on the ground, looking at the hem of his clothes that he had dragged all the way, with infinite sadness on his face.

Subsequently, in another secret room in the temple.

Mu Hansha put a tray full of various side dishes on the coffee table, then picked up a cup of hot tea from it, and carefully held it to the old man in the dry chair.

The old man took the teacup, just took a sip, and then praised it: "Well, Hansha, you kid has always been so worry-free." Keep working hard, and you will definitely have a seat in the future Venerable Throne. ”

Mu Hansha lowered his head and said respectfully: "My subordinates don't want to be Venerable. If it weren't for the vigorous support of the Seven Venerables, there would be no subordinates today, and you are kind to your subordinates, and your subordinates are only willing to always follow your side and be loyal. ”

That old man was none other than the Seven Venerables of the Nine Shadows Palace. Unlike the greed of the Eight Venerables, the gentleness of the Nine Venerables, and the domineering of the Great Venerables, he seemed to be just an old man who had no quarrel with the world. At this time, he just smiled indifferently: "Hehe, the words are very good, but I don't want such a subordinate who is not motivated?"

Mu Hansha's expression froze, but the Seven Venerables didn't seem to care, turned his eyes and swept to the trays on several sides, and soon showed a transparent smile, "Today's dishes seem to be more sumptuous than usual." What, you kid have something to ask me?"

Mu Hansha immediately knelt down: "Seven Venerable Mingjian." The subordinates wanted to ask the Seven Venerables for a recommendation quota. He took out a gold-lacquered box from his sleeve and placed it on several sides, the lid of the box was lifted, and the magic crystals placed in rows and stacks shone brightly.

"Here is a little savings I have for many years, and if there are any places left for public sale, I beg the Seven Venerables to help. This subordinate is not asking for ...... for himself" At the same time, he reached into his arms, and then showed the information in the jade slip to the Seven Venerables.

The Seventh Venerable waved his hand, stopped his movements, and frowned, "This time, the hall master has been handed over to Lao Jiu to be fully responsible. As for the number of places sold, the eighth still has a few in his hand. Why don't you beg them?"

Mu Hansha just moved his lips, but after thinking about it for a while, the entanglement of interests involved in this was not right for him to say. Finally, he fell silent, staring at the various delicacies in front of him, but felt bitter in his throat.
