The dense jungle is full of towering trees that cover the sky. Sunlight can't shine through, and the dim jungle is full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you will be attacked by poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and eventually you can only become fertilizer in the jungle.

This is a primeval jungle located in the Southern Wilderness, although it is not close to the core area, but it is also not a place to be underestimated.

The four directions of the Tian Yuan Continent are respectively called the Eastern Plains, the Western Desert, the Southern Wilderness, and the Northern Ridge in the cultivation world, mainly because the core areas of these four regions are very special places. For example, the core area of the Southern Wilderness is the natural barrier between the Yunxia Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty, that is, the paradise of demons and demons, the abandoned and deserted world, and the pure land of exiles and exiles - the Paradise of the Southern Wilderness.

The area radiating out of the South Lost Paradise as the core is the primeval jungle area.

At this moment, in the middle of this primeval jungle, a young man in a gray robe is trudging with difficulty, and he is holding a golden and white fox in his arms.

This person and a fox are Ye Xuan and Yuzao, who are separated from Taohua.

In the core area of the Southern Wilderness, there is no good impression of the disciples of the sect who claim to be righteous, after all, the Lost Paradise of the Southern Wilderness is a paradise for criminals in the cultivation realm. The people who live here are all chased and cornered in other places before hiding here, so they are deeply hostile to people who come from other places, especially the leading sects of the righteous path such as the Six Famous Sects.

Even Taohua, who has the name of a little grandmaster, doesn't dare to be too presumptuous here, because the Southern Wilderness Paradise is a place where the law of the jungle is completely put on the table. As long as you are strong enough, no one will interfere with what you want to do, even if you are a cultivator of the Three Demon Paths, you can still survive here.

It's a place of disorder and rules.

Therefore, Taohua could only send Ye Xuan to this vicinity and leave with Luo Yu. If Ye Xuan and Taohua acted here, then they would probably have died here before they reached the sect of the Demon Sword Sect.

It is reported that the Sheji School Palace is here in the Lost Paradise of the Southern Wilderness, and there have been a total of two grandmasters and nearly ten minor grandmasters before and after, as for other outstanding disciples of famous and decent families, there are also not a few. There was even a great war that almost broke out here, if it weren't for the people of the Yunxia Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty who stood on the side of the Five Great Demon Sects later, this Southern Desolate Paradise would have been completely uprooted.

Although the Yunxia Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty fought with each other from time to time, before the two dynasties were divided, the Southern Wilderness Paradise was once the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is precisely for this reason that even if the Yunxia Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty do not like each other, if an outsider says that this place will be completely erased, the two dynasties will be the first to stand up and oppose it.

At that time, the six famous sects were far from being as strong as they are now, so they didn't dare to rashly break out a war with the five major demon sects and the two dynasties, so they just had to back down.

Of course, the people of the Demon Sword Sect also knew the symbolic significance of this Southern Wilderness Paradise for the two dynasties, so although their sect was standing here, it was not at the core of the Southern Wilderness Paradise. And it is impossible for the two dynasties to let the other party control this Southern Wilderness Paradise, so over time, an undisordered situation in the core area of the Southern Wilderness Paradise has been formed, and the people of the two dynasties have a tacit understanding of this and do not interfere.

Perhaps for the two dynasties, the current situation is the best outcome.

Recalling the situation here in the Southern Wilderness Paradise, Ye Xuan swung the Wind Sword to cut off the thorns that stood in the way.

If Lu Jie knew that his love sword was so badly ruined by Ye Xuan, he would definitely hang Ye Xuan up and beat him severely. However, the Tiangang Seven-Star Sword that was still in Ye Xuan's Sumeru Ring, and the Qingfeng Sword were indeed only suitable for cutting thorns and the like.

"It should be here. Ye Xuan looked around and said with some uncertainty.

Around Ye Xuan, it was a rare place that was not covered by towering trees, and the sunlight sprinkled on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming a few spots on the ground. There are no insects, no birds, no people and animals, and it seems to be a forgotten place.

On Ye Xuan's left-hand side, there was a boulder about two people high that required at least five people to hug together, and the boulder was full of potholes, and the signs of weathering were more serious. Next to the boulder, there are many smaller stones scattered around, and if you look at the surroundings with the boulder as the core, you will have a peculiar feeling: as if the forest and the rocks are worshipping the boulder.

Ye Xuan stroked the boulder, then picked out a small stone with sharp corners on the ground, and then knocked it nine times on the boulder.

A breeze suddenly blew, and the fallen leaves on the ground fluttered up with the breeze, swirling towards the distance.

Suddenly, there was a ripple next to the boulder, as if a stone had been thrown into the water. However, if you look at the back of the ripples, you can't see this strange phenomenon, as if the ripples only work in one direction, and as the ripples gradually expand, the air seems to be torn open to reveal a crack.

The scene that originally stood in front of the ripples and looked at it had completely disappeared at this moment, and what appeared in front of Ye Xuan was a stone road paved with cobblestones, winding forward and not knowing where it leads.

"Who rings the stone bell?" a middle-aged man with a long beard stood in the middle of the stone path, carrying a man-tall giant sword behind him.

Beside the tower-tall man stood thirty-five young men and women dressed in blue and white cloth, each holding a bronze sword in his right hand. The movements of these people were very neat and uniform, if it weren't for the surprise they looked at Ye Xuan, outsiders would still think that these thirty-five people were just thirty-five finely crafted puppets.

"How do you know how to strike the sword bell?" there was also a hint of surprise on the big man's face, "It's impossible for the children of the outer sect to leave the mountain gate. ”

Although this big man's words did not show the slightest anger and murderous aura, Ye Xuan knew that if his answer could not satisfy the other party, then his fate was definitely conceivable.

The big man in front of him is the protector of the Demon Sword Sect.

On the Tian Yuan Continent, there are many secret realms, some of which have been discovered, and some of which have not yet been discovered. And the so-called immortal ruins and ancient ruins refer to these secret realms.

According to the different scales of secret realms, they can be roughly divided into three categories: large, medium and small. The smallest secret realm may only be as large as a dozen square meters, while the largest secret realm may be as vast as the territory ruled by a dynasty. And in the same way, these secret realms cannot all be safe, and some secret realms are even if the sages of the Sheji Academy Palace enter, they will die for a lifetime.

No one knows where these secret realms were born, but what people do know is that some secret realms are intact and have not undergone any damage, and there are even secret realms where dragon veins exist.

What does a cultivator need? It is nothing more than a place where spiritual energy is abundant.

Since these secret realms have no master, they have not been destroyed, and they are so abundant in spiritual energy, how can they be let go? Therefore, many sects will naturally snatch a secret realm as the sect's sect. In that dark period of history, many sects were destroyed because they occupied a good secret realm but were unable to defend it, and over time, the fact that the sect occupied the secret realm gradually became a secret, and only those sect disciples would know where the sect was.

It's just that even so, it's not safe, and occasionally some disciples are bought by other sects, and then some bloodshed occurs.

In order to cope with this situation, the position of doorkeeper was born in the monastic world.

Of course, the word "gatekeeper" is not meant to be fun. People who can become gatekeepers have good strength, and the reward of being a gatekeeper is that after serving as a gatekeeper for a certain number of years, they can get a higher status and better guidance. Over time, the "Door Protector" has become a kind of weather vane in the various sects: those who can become the Gate Protectors must be the inner disciples whose status is about to be promoted, and as long as they do not die, the minimum achievement in the future will inevitably be the elders of the sect.

Qi Jun and He Tianxiang are both leaders of the younger generation of Xuanwu Palace. But Qi Jun had been a gatekeeper for fifty years, but He Tianxiang didn't, so this is the reason why Zi Yan and Ye Xuan were a little jealous of Qi Jun, and they didn't care about He Tianxiang at all.

In the same way, the gatekeeper is just a tempering and responsibility, but it does not mean that the gatekeeper can stop the elder or someone who is too powerful. Therefore, every sect's secret realm will be equipped with a large gate protection array and special prohibitions, and the door protector in front of Ye Xuan and the thirty-five inner disciples of the Demon Sword Sect behind him are the key people who activate this door protection array and prohibition.

Tiangang Infinite Sword Array.

Born out of the Heavenly Sword Sect's 36,000 broken army array, the Demon Sword Sect's Gate Protection Array.

"Yes...... Ziyan's predecessors asked me to come. Ye Xuan pretended to be very timid, he didn't know who the door protector in front of him was, but he knew what kind of level the person who could be the door guard was.

"Zi Yan?" When he heard this name, Dahan's face became a little strange, while the thirty-five disciples behind him suddenly let out a whispering sound.

"Silence!" Dahan drank in a deep voice, and the disciples behind him instantly quieted, "You said that Ziyan asked you to come, but there are tokens?"

"Token?" Ye Xuan pretended to be stunned for a moment, his face showed a look of distress, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out the Screen God Jade pendant that had been hanging close to him, "This ...... Can it be counted?"

"Ping Shen Jade!" Everyone let out an exclamation when they saw the jade pendant that Ye Xuan took out, and there was undisguised greed on everyone's face.

As one of the leading sects of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sword Sect has many arrogant and uninhibited disciples, and most of their principles are to speak by force. At this moment, seeing the precious Screen Divine Jade, everyone's face naturally showed a look of greed, the value of this Screen Divine Jade, any cultivator is very clear, but they don't know that this Screen Divine Jade pendant on Ye Xuan's body is a Hades post to others.

"You all have a long life?" the big man said in a deep voice, waking everyone up from the look of greed, "That's the Xiaoyao Seal of the Xiaoyao Gate, you dare to take it?...... This thing is indeed enough to prove your identity. Only Ziyan would casually give such a precious thing to others as a token. Come in, I'll arrange for someone to take you to Yijian Peak, but it's hard to say if you can see Ziyan. ”

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”
