Chapter 148: The Witch God Ruins
With the return of a large amount of spirit ore from the disciples of the Spirit Forging Hall, the first friendly transaction between the Tianhua Sect and the Wizard Clan can be regarded as the first completion, and with the foundation of the first successful transaction, the future cooperation will become very easy.
Shi Xuan undoubtedly played an important role in this matter, he served as a bridge between the two major forces of the North and the South, and it was he who gained mutual trust.
Shi Xuan, Han Yunyi and the others were also treated as guests by them in the Wu Clan, and Shi Xuan and they also came to their aid many times, helping them repel the raids launched by the Wu Gu Tribe, and won a lot of benefits for them.
Among the Wu Clan, Shi Xuan and they have been coming to the Wu Clan for a long time, and they have never forgotten to find the secret realm of the Wu Clan.
But no matter how Shi Xuan searched, there was no clue, and now the forbidden land of the Wu Clan had become their ultimate goal, and only by entering it could they have the opportunity to find the location of the secret realm.
One night, Shi Xuan went out again, and he was ready to approach their forbidden place to investigate up close.
There are a lot of patrols in the important places of the Wu Clan, and it is very difficult for Shi Xuan and them to enter the forbidden land, but in order to complete the task, Shi Xuan has to take risks, maybe there will be danger in their forbidden land.
In order to help Shi Xuan get close to the forbidden place, Han Yunyi and the others also deliberately caused some chaos among the Wu Clan, successfully attracting the attention of many patrol officers, Shi Xuan took advantage of the emptiness of the patrol personnel, he quietly approached the forbidden place. In the dark night, Shi Xuan walked into the back mountain alone, and in order to avoid encountering a powerful altar, he also specially borrowed the formation core rune stone from Huang Shuhan.
Shi Xuan skillfully avoided several patrolling evil people and took advantage of the darkness to enter the back mountain, this is the forbidden place of their Wu Clan, and they must not easily set foot without the consent of the Great Chief, this involves the secrets guarded by their Wu Clan.
Shi Xuan moved forward cautiously, paying attention to the environment here at any time, there must be some prohibitions on the mountain.
On the back mountain, the terrain here exudes strange fluctuations, which reminds him of the situation of the Nine Dragons of the Wu Clan, the surrounding nine mountains have changed the surrounding terrain, and countless spiritual energy has been gathered here, it seems that this is the core of the unhindered, on this mountain, perhaps the ancient secret realm is among them.
When Shi Xuan sensed the source of the fluctuations, he took out the artifact Rune Stone, which was the key to open the secret realm of the Wu Clan, and had a powerful sensing ability.
When Shi Xuan urged the Rune Stone, a strange change immediately occurred on the mountain in front of him, and the space here was extremely distorted and very similar to the terrain of Yao Mountain.
"There may be some special connection between the two, and the secret realm may be here", Shi Xuan was even more convinced.
He walked along the mountain road all the way and came to a dark place, and when Shi Xuan saw it clearly, he found that this was the ancestral ancestral hall of their Wu clan, and there were countless altars behind the ancestral hall, and there were countless Wu clan powerhouses here compared to the countless burial people.
There was an altar blockade in front of the ancestral hall, and Shi Xuan didn't dare to offend their ancestral hall, so he could only bypass it and enter the mountains, along the way he saw many ancient altars, which were used to worship the ancestors, Shi Xuan went straight to the core area, he knew that it might be his destination.
When he arrived at this mountain, he found that the energy on this mountain was extraordinarily abundant, far beyond the rest of the Wu Clan, perhaps related to the special Nine Dragons Arch Beads here. The rune stone in Shi Xuan's hand radiated light under his urging, and a strange aura made noise to advance the mountain wall in the middle of the mountain in the distance, and the mountain wall was suddenly covered with runes, and it seemed that there was a huge prohibition.
"Sure enough, here, the secret realm should be in this mountain", Shi Xuan was overjoyed, and he continued to move forward, hoping to open this secret realm.
But when he reached the front, a secret altar suddenly activated, this was the secret altar guarding the forbidden land, and Shi Xuan was trapped in it at once.
Shi Xuan looked at the unpredictable altar and did not panic, he had already made full preparations, the core of the formation given to him by Huang Shuhan played an important role at the moment, he drew a scoop according to the gourd, and arranged the spiritual materials prepared in advance according to the method taught by Huang Shuhan. Then he began to urge the core of the formation, and sure enough, it had a miraculous effect, and he successfully broke through the blockade of the altar against him.
Shi Xuan walked to the mountain wall, the environment here was inaccessible, and no one from the Wu Clan had set foot here for many years.
When Shi Xuan carefully inspected these mountain walls, he found that they were protected by a powerful energy shield, and his strong spiritual power hit the mountain walls without any waves, and he must have the protection of the enchantment.
"It's up to you", Shi Xuan took out the glowing rune stone and began to urge with all his might, trying to open the secret realm here.
However, when he urged the rune stone, a powerful light curtain enchantment appeared, and a strange rune flowed, but no matter how Shi Xuan urged him, he was never able to complete the last step.
"Damn, what went wrong?" Shi Xuan couldn't figure out.
He carefully recalled every word the Witch King had said to him at the beginning, "By the way, I am not from the Witch Clan, how can I open their secret realm without the approval of the altar?" Shi Xuan finally understood the reason.
After many attempts to no avail, Shi Xuan had no choice but to return the way he came, avoiding the many patrolling wizards and returning to their residence.
Han Yunyi asked, "How is Shi Xuan, is there any result?"
"The place where the secret realm is located is in the deep mountains of the forbidden land, but no matter how much I urge the rune stone, I can't open it, I think it's because I'm not their wizard, I can't get the approval of the altar at all, and if I want to enter the secret realm, I can only rely on the people of their witch clan to open it themselves," Shi Xuan said.
"So, we can only hand over the rune stone to their great chief and let them open this ancient relic by themselves?" Zhao Zhuo said.
"It seems that this can only be the case, we can't get the approval of the altar, it is not realistic to forcibly open the secret realm, since this is their Wu clan's business, let their Wu clan decide who will inherit the wizard treasure book by themselves?" Shi Xuan said.
"What about the rune stones?" Han Yunyi asked.
"The rune stone is very important, we must let them return the rune stone to the Earth Temple on time, otherwise it will be very dangerous if there is a problem with the seal there?" Shi Xuan said.
"We've been here for a long time, and we really should leave," Zhao Zhuo said.
"According to our observations, only Zhu Li is the only one in the witch clan who is worthy of the great responsibility, maybe he is a good heir, he is an aspiring and capable wizard, and the wizard book should be worthy of the witch king's entrustment?"
"Tomorrow, we'll go to the Great Chief of the Wu Clan to explain the matter," Shi Xuan said.
The next day, Shi Xuan and his party came directly to the main hall of the council, and happened to meet Zhu Li, "How many people have come to the main hall, are you looking for my father?" Zhu Li asked.
"We have something very important that we have to discuss with the Great Chief?" Shi Xuan said.
When they arrived at the main hall, the chief asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Great Chief, we have come here to have an opinion on the future of your Wu Clan, I think it's time for you to let it know?" Shi Xuan said.
The Great Chief looked at the other elders and asked with some confusion, "What kind of thing makes you so cautious?"
"This matter has been going on for a long time, so I'll tell you what we know briefly, right?" Shi Xuan said.
"You may say that all of us have seen your help to our Wi clan these days, and I believe you," said the High Chief.
"We have previously found your dead wizard king thousands of years ago in the ruins of the Yak Bull God Clan, and we have been blessed by him, so we promised him to help him fulfill a long-cherished wish, he has run out of oil at that time, and he asked us to help you witch clan find the long-lost wizard book and help him find a suitable heir," Shi Xuan said.
The big chief's eyes suddenly shone brightly, the Wizard's Book had long been a heart disease for them, and the division of the Witch Clan over the years was more or less related to the Wizard's Book.
"And what clues do you have?" asked the Dharma Protector anxiously.
"In fact, the wizard's book has never been lost, it is safely placed in the secret realm of your witch clan, we have found the key key in Yao Mountain according to the instructions of the witch king, and can help you open the ancient secret realm and find the wizard's book", Shi Xuan said.
"I didn't think you knew the secret of Yaoshan?" said the Great Chief.
"As the descendants of the witch god, you witch clan have the obligation to stick to Yaoshan, the earth temple must be guarded by you, now the energy of the secret key is about to be exhausted, in the future, your witch clan must kill the earth element lord who sealed it again, make his spirit core into a secret key to seal the earth temple again, the Buddha will be occupied by demons instead," Shi Xuan said.
"How can you be sure that the Wizard's Book is in our secret realm?" asked the High Chief.
"This is what the King of Wizards personally told us back then, and they were all present to prove it", Shi Xuan pointed to Zhao Zhuo and a few others.
Zhao Zhuo and the others nodded, "The Witch King did say so, and that's why we came to your Witch Clan," Han Yunyi said.
"Don't hide it from you, there is indeed an ancient secret realm among our Wu clan, but with the strength of our clan, we can't open it at all, we know that this is the place of trial left by the gods, but since the decline of our clan, no one can open this secret realm, and we can only completely close the place of the secret realm to outsiders to know", the big chief said helplessly.
"Now, we have obtained the key to open the secret realm according to the guidance, but I am not a member of the Wu Clan, and I can't get the approval of the altar, so I can't open the secret realm at all, so I need you Wu Clan to choose the strongest and most talented clan among the younger generation of your clan to open the secret realm with us and recall your long-lost wizard book," Shi Xuan said.
"So you've entered our forbidden land?" asked the Great Chief.
"We were instructed by the Wizard King to trespass on your forbidden land in order to find the location of the secret realm, so I ask the chief's forgiveness, but fortunately I found the secret realm," Shi Xuan said.
"I can't imagine that after thousands of years, we and other wizard clansmen will have the opportunity to see the wizard's treasure book again, it is really blessed by the witch god", an elder sighed.
"We have been here with your Wu Clan for a long time, and we can be regarded as having a comprehensive understanding of your Wu Clan, Zhu Li is also the best among the young disciples, he may be the best heir of the Wu Clan's inheritance, I believe that he will be able to complete the test left by the Witch God in the secret realm, and help your Wu Clan take out the wizard's treasure book," Shi Xuan said.
"How can I be?" said Zhu Li.
"No, you are the future of our Wu Clan, since the test of the gods is just around the corner, you must complete the test of the gods on you and help our Wu Clan recover the wizard book that has been lost for thousands of years", the Great Chief said to Zhu Li.
"This is the artifact rune stone that we took from the altar of the Earth Temple, the sealed altar is operated by its potential, when you complete the trial, you must return the rune stone to the Earth Temple, in the future, the rune stone energy is exhausted, you must defeat the demons in the Earth Temple, regain the brand new rune stone, and seal the Earth Temple again", Shi Xuan took out the huge artifact rune stone.
Shi Xuan and the others brought them shocking news, the wizarding treasure book that had been lost for thousands of years could not be imagined that it was in their closed secret realm, and Zhu Li and they had searched for many relics of the gods of the wilderness and had not found any whereabouts, which made them even more surprised.
"Brother Zhu, I'm really sorry, I didn't tell you in advance for the sake of safety, because we didn't know anything about your Wu clan at the time, so we were going to observe you for a long time, and we didn't want to live up to the Wu King's instructions," Shi Xuan said.
"Everything Brother Shi Xuan has done is for the sake of the future of the Wu Clan, how dare I blame it?" I am only worried that it will be difficult for me to take on a big responsibility?" Zhu Li said.
"There is no better heir to the Wu clan right now, and you have to bear this heavy burden?" said the Great Chief.
"Yes, we Wu clan are known as the servants of the earth, and we have adhered to the will of the gods for generations, he sealed the earth temple back then, and our Wu descendants should also continue to fulfill the aspirations left by our ancestors and stick to the earth temple, this is the glory of our Wu clan", the Great Chief encouraged.
"I will definitely do my best to pass the trial of the witch god and find the wizard book of the witch clan," Zhu Li said.
"Tomorrow, you immediately gather the younger generation of people you have encountered, and together we will open the ancient secret realm that has been sealed for thousands of years, and welcome the return of the wizard's book," said the Great Chief.
Shi Xuan and the others have gone through a lot of hardships, and they finally have a result, and their task in the Wu Clan is about to be completed.
On the second day, Zhu Li was anxious about all the younger generations of the wizard clan and explained to them what had happened, and they would enter the forbidden land together and open the ancient secret realm.
For their wizards, they can only enter the ancestral hall to carry out sacrificial activities when the clan holds a sacrifice ceremony, and usually the wizard clan never allows others to enter the forbidden place without permission in order to protect the secret realm and the ancestral hall, and violators will inevitably suffer heavy punishments.
Today's rejoicing young people of the wizard clan heard about the wizarding tome, and everyone was very happy, once they found the wizarding tome again, their witch clan revitalization was hopeful.
Shi Xuan and the others had been waiting for this moment to come early, and they and Zhu Li began to enter the forbidden land of their wizard clan.
Huang Shuhan and Han Yunyi were also surprised by the forbidden land of the wizard clan, the aura here was extremely abundant, far beyond other places.
"It seems that this is the reason for the Nine Dragons Arch Beads, otherwise it would be impossible for such a strong aura to gather here, and their ancient secret realm may not be extraordinary," Huang Shuhan said.
"It is estimated that even the witch gods did not expect that their witch clan would decline into what it is now, and they would not even be able to open their trial secret realm?" Han Yunxi said.
"The internal division of the wizard clan has indeed caused them to suffer a heavy blow, and many tribes are hostile to each other, and the eventual decline is expected," Huang Shuhan said.
"The Wu clan is one of the guardians of the earth, and their clan bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the earth temple, which may be the will of the witch god, so that they will once again shoulder the responsibility of guarding the earth," Shi Xuan said.
They soon arrived at their ancestral hall, where the chief led their people to open the seal of the altar in front of the ancestral hall and enter the ancestral hall to carry out a large-scale sacrifice to thank the gods for their protection.
Shi Xuan and the others personally felt the devout sacrifice of the gods and ancestors of the Wu clan, full of awe, in their bodies, Shi Xuan saw the difference between them and other Wu tribes, they did not cherish the evil demon power, adhered to the way of wizards, still remembered the supreme glory brought by the ancestors, had lofty ideals, and the younger generation of wizards never forgot the teachings of the sages.
After a long time, the people of the wizard clan finally completed the sacrifice ceremony, and then set off again into the depths of the back mountain, ready to open the ruins.
Their Wu clan has their own way of revoking the altar they have arranged, and along the way, Shi Xuan and they don't have to rely on their own methods to avoid the attack of the altar.
Everyone looked at the majestic Witch Sacred Mountain, which was the place of trials opened up by their witch gods, a place dedicated to the practice of wizards, and a place where their wizards could gain many inheritances, and their revival was hopeful in the future.
The Great Chieftain came to the Holy Mountain, looking at the Holy Mountain, with a respectful expression, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.
"Shi Xuan Xiaoyou, this is the place where our secret realm is opened, the altar here has long been sealed by the powerful witchcraft of our clan, many people in our clan have tried to open it over the years, but the strength is far from meeting the requirements of opening the secret realm, it has been closed for thousands of years, today you brought the rune stone to open the secret realm, finally let us see hope, today there will be you", the big chief said.
"Since we have agreed to the Witch King's entrustment, we will naturally fulfill our promise", Shi Xuan handed the Rune Stone into Zhu Li's hands and said: "The Rune Stone is very important, when you complete the trial, you must return the Rune Stone to the Earth Temple as soon as possible, and the safety of the Earth Temple will be guarded by your Wu clan in the future."
"I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and recall the wizard book of the Wu Clan", Zhu Li took the powerful rune stone and walked to the place where the secret realm was opened, and he used his witchcraft to urge the rune stone.
Shi Xuan and the others stood far behind waiting for the secret realm to open, the rune stone shone brightly in Zhu Li's hand, a huge spiritual light shot towards the mountain wall, a huge light curtain enchantment appeared, and the ancient runes of witchcraft began to circulate.
In front of Zhu Li, a huge spatial vortex appeared, and the altar recognized his identity as a wizard clansman, and the space that entered the secret realm was finally opened by him.
"It's done, it's really done, the gods bless you," many young disciples of the wizard clan shouted excitedly.
Shi Xuan and they are also happy for the wizard clan, they helped the wizard clan, and it can be regarded as solving a huge hidden danger for them, the earth temple is related to the safety of the world, once something happens, it is not only the wizard clan that will suffer, the whole continent will be affected.
"Zhu Li, you young people, are ready to go in and investigate, and you must retrieve the wizard's book," the Great Chief said.
Shi Xiu'an and the others are also ready to find out, the current secret realm has not been opened for thousands of years, maybe full of variables, they are ready to go in to explore.
Colorful glow came out of the spatial portal, and a large amount of ancient aura rushed towards him, Zhu Li and many younger clansmen stepped into the spatial vortex one after another, and Shi Xuan and the others also followed suit.
The space changed, and soon Shi Xuan and the others landed in an ancient mountain, the environment here was very different from the outside, and many places still maintained the scene of 10,000 years ago.
Shi Xuan looked at this peculiar space, primitive and mysterious, quiet and serene.
Many wizards slowly explored forward, feeling the wonder of the place of trials, and they did not dare to take it lightly, such an ancient secret realm was by no means a place of peace, and there might be great dangers.
"Brother Zhu Li, you must complete the mission in the Land of Trials, the future of the clan depends on you," said some people from the Wu Clan.
"It's the same for everyone, the future of the Wu clan is in the hands of all of us, the secret realm has been opened, and it will definitely help our tribe become strong in the future, maybe in the future, we will be able to restore the glory of the ancient period again", Zhu Li shouted.
Zhu Li led the people of their wizard clan to explore the depths of the ruins, and sure enough, some strange-looking creatures soon appeared, these creatures were very primitive, even Shi Xuan and they had never heard of them.
"This is the Phantom Butterfly, an ancient creature, I didn't expect there to be surviving descendants in this secret realm?" Huang Shuhan pointed to a huge phantom disc and said, this phantom disc has reached at least the fifth order, it flashed its wings, rolled up a large yin wind, and the air was filled with a strange aura.
"The air it rolls up contains the poison on its body, everyone be careful," Zhu Li shouted.
Soon they started a big battle with these ancient creatures, and along the way, they encountered many strange creatures, the ancient beetle snake is an extremely dangerous ancient race, they can continue to evolve after cultivating to a high level, and even have the opportunity to return to their ancestors, incarnated as a sky-swallowing python, with super strength, but what they saw in front of them only reached the early stage of the fifth order, and even the transformation has not yet begun.
The five-tailed demon fox, the descendant of the ancient spirit beast, can evolve the nine-tailed after cultivating to a high level, the legendary ancient beast, which has long been extinct outside, and now appears again in these dense forests, these demon foxes have super strong spiritual illusions, the strength is terrifying, and people with weak souls are very likely to be enslaved by it when they meet.
