But after the mud is removed from the sediment, it compresses into ice, and in the process, the density increases, and the volume will definitely decrease. w

In the case of condensation, water in the air is added in the process of refining, although the volume will also be reduced, but in comparison, it is larger than the original.

Converted to the power of the soul, Xiao Ning condensed the power of the soul through the origin of the cicada, and the energy was lost, but the power of the soul was also growing all the time.

Since this increase is very low, it will not be felt unless the consumption is not large.

When Xiao Ning was casting the Star Realm, the soul power was consumed a lot, so he naturally couldn't detect this.

Originally, with Xiao Ning's insight, as long as there was a slight change, he would soon be discovered, but unfortunately, the soul power was too ethereal, and it was very difficult to sense, so it was delayed until now that it was discovered.

"This is good news, in the future, I will be able to use the origin of the cicada and slowly cultivate the power of the soul. ”

After knowing this, Xiao Ning did not feel depressed because of the previous neglect, but looked happy.

You must know that the future realm is no longer something that can be easily improved by cultivating the true element, it is all about constantly tempering the state of mind and having a stronger comprehension ability to be able to reach a higher realm, and the key to determining the level of the state of mind is the power of the soul.

When thinking about these things, Xiao Ning did not leave behind the matter of looking for treasures, but when he searched the entire mountain and all the houses, he still couldn't find any clues, so he had no choice but to return to the top of the mountain and come to the altar.

Although he couldn't find that thing, the search just now was not a waste for Xiao Ning.

If it weren't for this effort, he wouldn't have been able to discover the power of the Heavenly Cicada's origin to condense the primordial gods, and he still made money, so he couldn't find anything, and his mood was very happy.

"How's it going?"

Not long after Xiao Ning ascended the altar, he found that Jiang Cheng had already returned here, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

He is the ability to use the origin of the cicada to condense the power of the soul, so that he can find such a large area in a short time, but what is this Jiang Cheng relying on.

"Sure enough, none of the people who have become famous in the cultivation world at a young age can be despised by. ”

Xiao Ning sighed secretly in his heart, but in the face of Jiang Cheng's question, he did not hesitate, shook his head, and said directly: "I have already found all the places I can find, and it is certain that Sect Master Tao definitely did not hide things in the mountains." ”

Looking at Jiang Cheng's expression, Xiao Ning also knew that the latter must not have been found, the two glanced at each other, their hearts moved at the same time, and they turned their eyes to Tao Shanlong on the altar.

"What do you think?" Jiang Cheng fixed his gaze on Tao Shanlong and asked Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning also didn't squint, nodded and said, "It's very likely." ”

"Looks like we're thinking of going together!"

Jiang Cheng turned his head, looked at Xiao Ning and nodded, and slowly walked towards Tao Shanlong's corpse.

"Sect Master Tao, there are many offenses, please forgive me. But I don't think you blame us!"

Xiao Ning and Jiang Cheng saluted Tao Shanlong, and then stepped forward, carefully moving his bones aside.

After removing Tao Shanlong's corpse, the two looked at the place again, and under the cover of Tao Shanlong's clothes, there was a slightly darker stone slab, which was obviously different from the surrounding floor, and there must be another mystery in it.

"I'll come!" Xiao Ning stepped forward, slammed the ground with the cicada sword, and gently pressed down on the stone slab.

"Click, click!"

The stone slab slowly sank down with the sword of the cicada, and a sound of blinking came from the altar at the same time.

"Sure enough!"

The eyes of the two of them stared at the same time, turned their heads to look around, and not long after the sound of the machine came, suddenly the entire altar began to tremble slightly.

With a rumbling sound, the Primordial Demon Statue not far away suddenly trembled, and slowly moved backwards, revealing a hole below.

"I really didn't expect that there was a secret room hidden on the altar, and this Open Heaven Sect was not afraid of offending the gods and demons. ”

Looking at the suddenly exposed hole, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly.

No matter where it is, no matter what it believes, the altar must be the most sacred place, who would have thought that the Open Heaven Sect would actually build a mechanism here.

Xiao Ning smiled slightly, and said, "It's because I can't think of it, so it's safe, otherwise how can I deceive the eyes and ears of the devil?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, although they hadn't gone down to the hole yet, they were already sure that what they were looking for must be down here.

The two of them didn't stay long, and after the mechanism was fully opened, they no longer hesitated, and entered the hole one after another.

The secret room exposed under the statue of the Origin God is not large, and the entrance of the cave can only barely allow one person to pass through, and a staircase below extends downward, and Xiao Ning and the others slowly walk down the stairs.

There were luminous beads embedded in the stone walls on both sides, and their vision was unobstructed, and they could clearly see what was going on inside.

The place was obviously carefully built, and the walls were all paved with very hard blue jade, so that once the cave door was closed, even if there was a fierce battle on it, this stone chamber would not be damaged.

Discovering this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that this Open Heaven Sect is quite generous. Originally, I thought it was because of the power obtained by the sacrifice of gods and demons to protect this altar, but I didn't expect it to look ordinary on the outside, but in fact, there is another mystery inside. ”

Although this blue jade stone is not the hardest stone in the cultivation world, it can also be ranked, even if the dark gold is strong, it is difficult to damage the blue jade stone without deliberately destroying it.

Therefore, in fact, this green jade stone is still very expensive, at least a second-rate force like the Open Heaven Sect, it is very difficult to get it, let alone use it to build a secret room, which is indeed beyond the expectations of Xiao Ning and the others.

The stairs of the passage went all the way down, and when the two of them estimated that they were almost at the top of the mountain, the stone staircase finally came to an end.

This also means that the entire altar platform is actually a secret room, and there is a complete vacuum inside.

Of course, these only made the two sigh for a while, but they didn't care too much.

After all, they are all people from major sects, and they have seen a lot of more money, so where will they be moved by the secret room in front of them.

For example, the pumice stone cloud hall in the inner courtyard of Tianlong, compared to the secret room in front of him, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

The whole secret room is not big, it is slightly smaller than the space on the high platform, only dozens of square meters, and you can see it all at a glance.

The so-called secret room is generally impermeable on all sides, dark and damp, but there are luminous beads, which does not look gloomy, and the location on the top of the mountain is also relatively dry, just because the surrounding area is impermeable, it looks a little stuffy, but these are not too big a problem for Xiao Ning and the two who have reached the Jindan realm.

After descending the stairs, they saw that there were some sacrificial pictures carved on the stone walls around them, but Xiao Ning and the others directly ignored those sacrificial pictures, but at the same moment, fixed their eyes on the center of the secret room.

There was a miniature version of the altar, on which there was also a statue of the Primordial God, exactly the same as the one on the high platform, except that the statue was nearly ten times smaller, slightly larger than that of ordinary humans.

In addition to the statue of the first god, there is another incense case on the altar, and there are only two items on the table, a beast bone, an animal skin, and that's it.

Xiao Ning's eyes were on the two things on the incense case.

"These two things aren't what we're looking for, are they?"

The entire chamber can be seen at a glance, and there is nothing else worth noting other than this animal bone and skin.

Xiao Ning raised his head and said, "Just go over and take a look." ”

Before he didn't know the situation, Xiao Ning naturally couldn't say, maybe there was something else to do with these two things.

The two came to the altar and walked directly to the incense table.

These two items must be very old, and the color is a little dull, especially the animal bone, which has turned black, and its material looks more like.

Judging from the shape, this beast bone should be the forearm bone of some kind of beast, but I don't know if it was originally like this, or if it has been refined, and it is half smaller than a human arm bone.

And the animal skin, which should be the weakest piece under the chest and abdomen, is only the size of a palm, dark yellow, and the hair on it is very thick. Hard.

"Do you recognize what kind of beast this is?"

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Ning rummaged through the various demon beasts he knew in his memory, but none of them could match the number, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Cheng.

However, Jiang Cheng's brows were also furrowed, he shook his head, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm lonely and unheard, I've never seen this type of demon beast." However, judging from the style, these two things should be sacrificial vessels, and there is a good chance that they will ...... Nine is what we're looking for. ”

Xiao Ning nodded in agreement, but didn't take them away, just looked away again.

There was nothing to see on the altar, but after a glance, Xiao Ning set his eyes on the stone walls around him.

At this glance, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Brother Jiang Cheng, look at the sacrifice pictures around you. ”

The so-called sacrificial pictures are generally carved with rumored deeds of the objects of worship, which is also a devotion to the gods and demons.

Previously, Xiao Ning's attention was attracted by those two sacrificial vessels, but they didn't look carefully, and when they looked at it again, they found that these sacrificial pictures around them had nothing to do with the Origin God and Demon.

"What is this?"

Hearing Xiao Ning's words, Jiang Cheng also turned his gaze, but he was also stunned, and under the feeling of strangeness in his heart, he immediately walked towards the stone wall.

The two of them came to the stone wall sacrifice map, which was a picture of the two ethnic groups fighting, and the two looked at each other, from right to left, one by one.

The sacrifice pictures on this are just around a story, and the first picture is a scene of some human beings encountering demons.

Then someone holds the animal skin and presses it on the chest, and someone holds the animal bone and presses it on the arm.

The skin and bones were exactly the same as the two on the altar. They seem to have some kind of magical power, and when they are pressed on their bodies, they are absorbed and do not fall off even if they are waved.

In the next picture, the appearance of those human beings has changed greatly, the whole human body is a few circles thicker, if the original proportion is six feet tall, then after the change, it is at least nine feet tall, and the body size has also increased by one and a half times.

In addition to their figures, they also have more demonic patterns on their bodies, like arrows, radiating from the position of animal skins or bones to their whole bodies. (Pear Tree)
