After half an hour, Ji Jiu was down-to-earth and reached the bottom of the lake.

Different from Ji Jiu's imagination, I thought that the depths of the lake would be a mess of rocks and silt, but what about the buildings in the area?

It is said that it is a building complex, but in fact it is just a broken wall, but it stretches for thousands of miles, and it looks like it has existed for countless years, and the vicissitudes of life are still strong.

It's more like a city that has been destroyed in a disaster.

Ji Jiu walked on the dilapidated streets, separating the lake, and there was silence all around, except for a faint glimmer of light overhead.

The bottom of the lake is dark, and it is as if forgotten by the world.

If no one sets foot today, I don't know how long this ruin will sleep.

The ground of the street and the ruined stone walls around it are carved with strange murals that Ji Jiu has never seen, and it seems that there is a mysterious force that supports it, so that this ruin has not been turned into ashes in the torrent of time.

Ji Jiu walked all the way, gradually stepping into the center of the city, his soul swept by, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

This is a vast square, nine huge pillars as black as ink like optimus pillars fall in all corners, each thick and invisible, exuding ancient and unpredictable meanings, countless twisted snake-like lines carved on it, looking at it, you feel a tingling in your mind, as if your soul is about to be sucked into it.

Each pillar was wound with chains, and the chains were stained with blood, which had not dissipated after countless years, and the white bones of the forest were scattered around it, and the white bones were piled up all over the ground, each one the size of a hill.

The giant toad's huge body was falling under a pillar, its vitality had long been extinct, its eyes were huge, as if it was looking in a certain direction, and the regret and unwillingness in it had not gone away for a long time.

Ji Jiu slowly approached there, although the giant toad was dead, there was still a faint coercion on its body, which was mixed with the destructive aura of heavenly thunder, and the tiny thunder flowers were still flashing on its corpse, like a small snake climbing.

"It's a pity, most of the essence blood has been dissipated, and now there is only an empty shell left, but it can still be used after some refining. Ji Jiu looked carefully, his brows furrowed, and then he took a few steps closer to the giant toad's corpse, this bit of coercion could not make him retreat.

If someone looks down from a high place at this moment, they will find that Ji Jiu is really as small as an ant in front of the giant toad, just like an ant standing in front of the giant elephant, and then the ant stretched out his hand and touched the giant toad, and the water-like ripples spread out at the bottom of the lake, like ripples.

At the place where Ji Jiu touched the giant toad, a bit of black spread out, like a drop of ink falling onto the white paper, and immediately spread in all directions, and the traces like spider webs suddenly spread densely, which was the magic pattern.

These magic patterns seemed to be breathing, and they were slowly seeping into the belly of the giant toad's skin, but the giant toad's body was too large, and although the magic patterns grew like weeds, they were still difficult to cover completely.

Time passed slowly, about hours later.

Ji Jiu withdrew his palm, his face was extremely pale, the spiritual power in his body was depleted quickly, and he needed to rest for a while, and then he closed his eyes in place and began to recover.

Half an hour later.

Ji Jiu continued to put his palm up.

The magic pattern spread again.

......

This was repeated dozens of times before Ji Jiu stopped moving.

"The magic pattern has already covered its whole body, and it can start refining. ”

After a moment of silence, Ji Jiu squeezed out a few drops of dark cyan blood from the center of his eyebrows, and then sketched it on the body of the giant toad with a finger pen, the blood slowly penetrated in, and the magic pattern also lit up, it was a strange and deep color, and it was clearly distinguished from the darkness at the bottom of the lake.

A strange scene appeared.

At the bottom of the icy lake, a dark blue flame burned, followed by a second, a third, and a fourth...... Countless flames lit up, burning from the toad's corpse, and then engulfing it bit by bit.

Ji Jiu looked at everything expressionlessly.

The body of the giant toad was shrinking rapidly, as if it was being squeezed by a pair of invisible hands, first expanding and then breaking, and then the useless parts fell off, and the useful parts continued to be retained and tempered, and it was a few hours later.

A disgusting mass of sarcoma bounced out of it, the sarcoma was a man tall, all covered in demonic patterns, and some parts even gave birth to scaly bone spurs, which looked extremely hideous.

"It's still a little bit hot, but that's fine. Ji Jiu nodded, then squeezed out a few drops of blood and threw it into the sarcoma, and the moment the blood fell, it trembled violently.

Refining it with Ji Jiu's extremely precious eyebrows and hearts can be said to have taken a lot of money.

Don't look at Ji Jiu's face as usual now, he looks fine, in fact, he has lost a lot of qi and blood, such a powerful puppet can be used as Ji Jiu's current pressure box.

Slowly, the sarcoma squirmed, and after a while, a pitch-black figure was formed, with a somewhat similar face to Ji Jiu, but the body was all covered with black lines, and the soft parts were covered with pitch-black scale armor, and there were two prominent pitch-black bone spurs on the shoulders, like sharp swords.

"The hosts. ”

His eyes were deep, he knelt down on one knee, and his voice was cold.

Ji Jiu nodded and smiled, "From now on, your name is Ah Da." ”

"Yes, master. ”

Immediately, Ji Jiu waved his hand and put him into the Sumeru ring.

This is not a perfect puppet, just the power of the physical body can crush the soul melting stage, so far Ji Jiu is still very satisfied.

This trip to the secret realm is not a loss.

However, Ji Jiu still had no intention of leaving, his spirit swept over the nine pillars, endured severe pain, and looked carefully, only to find that the lines on them were ancient characters that he had never seen before, and after some thought, he knew that he did not have the strength to explore now, so he gave up.

He swept his spirit deeper into the ruins, as if the giant toad was looking in that direction when he was dying, and the look of regret in his eyes was very strong.

After bypassing the collapsed buildings, Ji Jiu's divine soul spread out in all directions, and after a while, he found a place where the cold air was so strong that it almost froze his divine sense.

Enduring the pain of his divine sense, Ji Jiu hurried over in a few steps, it was a collapsed palace, in the dark bottom of the lake, there was a faint blue light in it, which was extremely conspicuous.

The palace is extremely dilapidated, and it has lost its former glory.

Inside the palace, an ice-blue spring less than a foot in size was spewing cold air outward, and the cold air was like a cloud, and in the spring, a crystal coffin rose and fell, up and down.

In the ice coffin, a vague figure can be seen.

Ji Jiu stood outside the spring, looking at the ice coffin with deep eyes, and the cold air that wanted to freeze his soul was now around him, unable to hurt him.

And all this is precisely because the white chess pieces in his ring are buzzing and trembling, and the dazzling light of the Dao is emanating, faintly connected with the ice coffin.
