Chapter 18: The Statue of the Demon Beast
Ziyun Cave, located in the deepest part of the Xiao family's mansion, has a strong family all year round, and outsiders do not want to enter.
Even if it is a child of the Xiao family, he can't get close on weekdays.
When they were still some distance away from the Purple Cloud Cave, all the clansmen, even the elders and deacons, stopped, and only those who had obtained the cultivation quota could continue to advance.
Xiao Yi, Xiao Ruohan, Xiao Zimu, Xiao Zhuang and other ten people, under the eyes of the clansmen with hope and hope, walked step by step.
They represent the most outstanding children of the younger generation of the Xiao family, and they will be the warriors who will carry the backbone of the Xiao family in the future.
All the clansmen secretly blessed them, hoping that they could gain something in the Purple Cloud Cave.
Except for one, the five elders.
The vicious gaze that was very well concealed was staring closely at Xiao Yi's back.
As long as my plan is not disrupted, when my son Ruohan comes out of the Purple Cloud Cave, it will be the time to completely erase you from the Xiao family. ”
The Five Elders had already had a series of vicious plans.
On the other side, Xiao Ruohan, who was advancing with Xiao Yi and the other disciples, also glanced at Xiao Yi with slanted eyes, and was secretly proud in his heart, "Hmph, what if you make a splash today." I have stepped into the Mortal Realm Sevenfold for a long time, and I will soon be able to break through the Mortal Realm Eightfold, and I will have a good chance to break through to the Acquired Realm after ten days of cultivation in the Purple Cloud Cave, and when the time comes, your death period will come. ”
The Purple Cloud Cave is opened once every three years, and every time, the children of the family who enter the cultivation will increase their cultivation greatly, and it is not impossible to even jump a few times.
Xiao Yi keenly caught Xiao Ruohan's eyes, and even felt the stinging gaze behind him, but he didn't care, and smiled indifferently.
"This sinister father and son are thinking of some bad idea. Xiao Yi said secretly.
If it was Xiao Yi before, he would have been cleaned up by them a long time ago. But now Xiao Yi is just a clown who jumps off the beam.
"Huh?" Xiao Yi suddenly paused, his gaze fixed on the distance.
There, there is a huge statue, all red and lifelike.
On the outside, it appears to be an unknown monster, somewhat resembling a lion, but it is much larger, with a terrifying horn on the top of its head and wings on its back.
In the entire Xiao family, no one knew the name of this demon beast statue. I only know that this is what the ancestors of the Xiao family put here a hundred years ago.
Ever since the Xiao family established a clan in Purple Cloud City, it has existed.
Every child of the Xiao family, before awakening the martial spirit, will come here to observe it.
The martial soul awakened by the warrior comes from everything in this world.
When a warrior is young, he usually observes various things, and his eyes are engraved in his heart, and his heart is transmitted to the gods. The more a warrior feels and is impressed by such an object, the more he can awaken this martial spirit.
For example, if you go to observe a piece of grass all year round, you will awaken the grass martial spirit.
After observing a sword all year round, he awakened the sword martial spirit.
Naturally, many big families, or sects, sects, etc., will prepare a more powerful item for their younger children to observe all year round.
The Xiao family is the same, it is said that the most precious thing of the Xiao family is this statue.
However, the more powerful and advanced the thing, the harder it is to awaken.
For example, a peerless sword, those with poor talent are likely to awaken only a sharper sword, or even worse, they will awaken the most ordinary iron sword.
Of course, there will also be extremely talented people who awaken more powerful sword martial spirits.
The Xiao family is the same, no one has ever been able to awaken the martial soul of this demon beast statue.
And obviously, the demon beast of this statue is a fire attribute demon beast.
Therefore, almost all the awakened martial souls in the Xiao family are related to the fire attribute.
Xiao Ruohan's Fire Cloud Python, Xiao Shi's Fire Wolf, Xiao Xingyang's Wild Fire Bull and so on.
And Xiao Yi's qualifications were extremely low back then, so he awakened the most garbage fire control beast.
Xiao Yi pursed his lips and said secretly, "If I had crossed over here a few years earlier, I might have been able to awaken the martial soul of the demon beast depicted in this statue." I really want to see what this monster beast is, and how powerful it is. ”
Just when he had this thought, his body suddenly shook, and an unprecedented sense of crisis arose.
It was as if he was being targeted by a peerless beast, and his whole body was numb and he couldn't move.
He seemed to see that the bronze bell-like gaze of the demon beast statue was staring at him tightly, intending to devour his mind.
He felt powerless, he panicked, and he found that under this feeling, he was naturally powerless to resist.
Suddenly, there was another turmoil in his body, and the Bingluan Sword Martial Spirit suddenly shone brightly, and a sharp and indestructible aura enveloped his body.
After the aura of the Bingluan Sword appeared, the sense of crisis instantly subsided, and the body returned to normal.
"What's the matter, delusion?" Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, and he found that the clothes on his back had been wet with sweat.
Xiao Yi didn't have time to think through the problem when he was interrupted by a rough voice.
"Xiao Yi, why are you stunned, keep up. ”
"Uh, oh, okay. Xiao Yi was stunned and hurriedly followed.
It was Xiao Zhuang who called him just now.
"Xiao Yi, thank you for the incident a few days ago. Xiao Zhuang walked up to Xiao Yi and whispered.
"It's just a small thing, no thanks. Xiao Yi shrugged.
Xiao Yi didn't know long ago that the young kid who was bullied by Xiao Jie and Xiao Shi that day turned out to be Xiao Zhuang's younger brother.
Xiao Zhuang, as his name suggests, looks burly and tall, like a cow, shook his head and said, "It's not a trivial matter, if you have another chance in the future, I will definitely return you this favor." ”
"Whatever you want. Xiao Yi replied lightly.
A few minutes later, everyone finally came to the front of the Purple Cloud Cave, and at this time, the second elder was already waiting for everyone here.
The so-called Purple Cloud Cave is actually just centered on the statue of the demon beast, and then a piece of land with a radius of several hundred meters is demarcated.
Generally, the children of young families, even if they observe, can only be thousands of kilometers away.
Only when the Purple Cloud Cave is opened once every three years, can the children with a quota get close to these hundreds of meters.
The sons listened to the order and stepped forward. The second elder didn't have any nonsense, and drank directly and majestically.
Ten disciples stepped forward at the same time.
When this step was taken, Xiao Yi immediately showed surprise.
Because, the aura around him has completely changed. It was obvious that the aura beside him was so strong that it was terrifying.
The aura around was even ten times richer than the outside. You don't even have to take the initiative to absorb it yourself, and the surrounding aura has automatically poured into your body.
"Sure enough, it's an excellent treasure place for cultivation. Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise.
Moreover, this is the purest heaven and earth aura, without any impurities, and there is no need to have any worries, the effect is much, much better than swallowing the pill.
Xiao Yi turned around and looked behind, and the second elder was standing behind them.
It's just a step away, but the surrounding environment has changed so much.
Xiao Yi guessed that there must be a powerful force here, blocking the rich aura within hundreds of meters, so that these aura would not leak out, even a single leak would be impossible.
At this time, the second elder, who was one step away, commanded solemnly, "Listen, the statue of the Xiao family has an extremely strong coercion, and the closer you go, the greater the pressure." Within fifty steps, it is the maximum you can bear. Fifty steps away, even the acquired realm is unbearable. ”
"Remember, no one is allowed to step more than fifty paces, or his life will be in danger. ”
"Follow the instructions of the second elder. The ten disciples replied respectfully.
The second elder nodded, and after giving a serious order, he took a few more steps back, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
He really deserves to be a martial idiot, and he won't waste any cultivation time.
Everyone began to continue to walk forward, and the closer they got to the statue, the greater the coercion, but the greater the spiritual energy contained, and naturally, the faster they cultivated.
Of course, as long as it does not exceed a distance of fifty paces, there is no danger.
According to the rules, Xiao Yi walked to the front, and stopped after exactly fifty steps.
Five steps later, it was Xiao Ruohan.
After that, it is decided according to the ranking of the family competition.
Within the range of fifty steps, according to the interval of five steps per person, ten people began to cultivate separately.
The distance of five steps is exactly that each other's cultivation will not affect each other, and they will not rob others of the aura and affect the cultivation of others.
Xiao Ruohan looked at Xiao Yi's back in front of him, gritting his teeth with hatred, Xiao Yi's position was the position with the strongest aura and the fastest cultivation, and he naturally blushed.
Xiao Yi naturally felt his gaze, but he was too lazy to bird him. The most important thing now is to hurry up and cultivate and enhance your cultivation.
Under the absorption of the twin martial spirits in the body, the surrounding spiritual energy was overwhelming. Especially with the terrifying absorption speed of the Bingluan Sword, Xiao Yi immediately felt that his cultivation was improving at a terrifying speed.
