Chapter 397: Secret Realm

When night fell, a light rain began to fall in the air. Then the rain quickly became heavier, and soon the whole heaven and earth were united.

On the mountain path, several black-clothed people walked through it quickly, firmly protecting the tall figure in the middle.

It's a woman. Turning a corner, she stopped, looking straight ahead. Extending in the direction of his gaze, a reckless and heavy mountain could be faintly seen, like a giant beast lying prone on the earth, still asleep in the wind and rain.

After a few moments, they came to a cave. The man in black quickly cleared a small clearing and spread a blanket on top of it so that the woman could sit down and rest for a while.

"The closer you get to the Hidden Place, the more you feel a dull and oppressive atmosphere, and I don't like that feeling very much." She sighed and leaned back against the cold stone wall.

"I don't know why Your Excellency summoned me back this time."

"Since the last retreat, his old man has driven everyone out of Molian Mountain, and at this time, he suddenly asked me to go back, is there something particularly important that needs to be explained?"

"Huh!?" Halfway through her words, she fell silent.

"What's that!?" The woman sat up straight, her eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at the white mist that was surging silently outside the cave.

And in the depths of the white mist, something strange seemed to be meandering. It rustled, mingling with the sound of wind and rain, but it was a little distinct.

The white mist quickly spread towards the cave. Soon the entire cave became hazy and dreamlike.

The rustle was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to have come to the side. The woman took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and subconsciously tightened the clothes on her body.

There was silence all around, as if everyone else had vanished. She was the only one left, lost in the sudden white mist.

She didn't know what the situation was now. It is not known if all of his subordinates have died. But even if she was ambushed, she was a little helpless.

Because of the existence of this white mist, it has completely obscured her perception, let alone burst out against the enemy, and she can't even find the trace of the enemy.

Swish! Suddenly, the cold and slippery touch came. She retracted her hand reluctantly, her heart suddenly tightened, and she missed a beat at this moment.

So, they wanted to find a cave to rest in the rain, but they ended up breaking into the nest of a giant python?

The woman stepped back like lightning and reached out to press the talisman on her body. Katsa! Her hand was caught. The whole person also seemed to have hit an iron tower, and his whole body was in pain.

"You, what the hell are you......" The woman struggled desperately, but she couldn't get out of the confines of that big hand.

Even the clothes on his body have been torn, exposing large areas of skin, and with red blood stains, it presents a different kind of beauty.

However, the tall man who pressed her against the wall was expressionless from beginning to end. There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.

"Do you want to die or live?" Wei Tao let go of the clamp, allowing her to breathe through.

"In this case, does it matter whether I am dead or alive?" The woman gasped,

"But I'm curious to know, who are you who dare to ...... near the Ink Refining Mountain, "Kacha!

Wei Tao's hand suddenly tightened, and the powerful force made her face suddenly turn pale, and she couldn't even breathe at all.

"What a stupid woman, who doesn't even have her life in her own hands, and dares to threaten me."

"I'm kind enough to remind you, I'm limited in time and I'm in a hurry, so there's no room for you to talk nonsense here." He let go again, looked down,

"I've been around here for two days, and I haven't been able to find your hiding place."

"So, as long as you can take me to find Mo Lian, you can survive, and you will even get my heartfelt thanks."

"You, you're going to the teacher?"

"You're going to find a teacher?" The woman was calming her breathing, and when she heard this, she was instantly stunned, and a surprised and puzzled expression appeared on her face.

"I'm not looking for him, am I looking for you?" Wei Tao frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that the woman in front of him seemed to have a big hearing problem in addition to being stupid.

She was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed,

"If you don't know the way, it's really hard to find a secret place."

"Since you want to go to the teacher, then I will take you to the secret place, I hope you don't regret it."

"I retract the criticism I just made of you." Wei Tao waved his hand lightly, and in an instant, the clouds and fog dissipated, and the beetle snake disappeared.

Several black-clothed talismans lay on the ground, motionless and sleeping soundly.

"What's your name?" He looked her straight in the eye and smiled gently,

"Compared to other talismans, you're a very interesting person, not as boring as them."

"Your Excellency can call me Mo Ling, the ink of ink, and the Ling of Bingling." She laughed along, as if the danger of almost dying just now was just an illusory dream.

Two days later, Wei Tao stopped at a mountain pass.

"This is the place of secrecy?"

"Are you sure you're not lying to me?" He looked at the narrow crack in front of him, which was no more than a foot long and only a few feet wide, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Mo Ling sighed,

"Although I am not a good person, I have always been a man of my word, so since I have promised to take Your Excellency into the Secret Land, I will never lead you anywhere else." Wei Tao was noncommittal, carefully observing everything around him.

After a moment, he nodded slightly,

"If this is the case, it's no wonder I didn't find the entrance." The two entered the chasm, and soon came to a stone wall at the end.

After getting closer, Wei Tao finally sensed a wisp of breath, which leaked out from the inside of this smooth mirror-like stone wall.

He followed behind Mo Ling, took a step forward, and disappeared directly into the stone wall. Inside turned out to be a dark space.

A trail looms, and I don't know where it leads. After traveling a distance, there are looming points of light floating in the void, like fireflies flying smartly.

Wei Tao slowed down and felt carefully. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed at a point of light. Swish! The five fingers quietly closed, but it turned out to be inexplicably missing.

The point of light was still suspended in the void, as if it had no substance, and passed directly through his palm.

Mo Ling turned his head to look,

"It's useless, the teacher has also thought of many ways to collect these things, but in the end they have not succeeded." Wei Tao didn't speak, bowed his head thoughtfully.

Silently, the white mist gradually rose. Quickly spread in all directions. A huge snake head quietly appeared, opened its mouth and took a deep breath like a whale.

Rumble! In an instant, a large spot of light disappeared. A huge spherical cavity was formed. Mo Ling was dumbfounded, watching all this happen, and couldn't even believe his eyes for a while.

"It's a feeling of great satisfaction."

"It turned out to be directly acting on the true spirit soul." Wei Tao had a thought in his heart, and drove the tail of the beetle snake to attack everywhere.

Quickly devour and absorb the surrounding light spots. At this moment, a little realization suddenly rose in his heart.

"These points of light seem to be shattered true spirits."

"And they all point to a name, called the Djinn." Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes flashing with doubt.

He had always thought that the Hidden Place was inextricably linked to Ximu. But I didn't expect to find something related to the djinn inside.

"I still remember the reason why the green mantis went to find Xi's mother, it was the fall of the djinn, and if you want to pull it forward to find an opportunity, it is best to pounce on the body of the djinn for a full meal."

"Therefore, this heaven and earth have left the mark of the giant spirit, and the Xi Mu will weave the cobwebs here. Thinking about it further, Xi Mu may have discovered the error of the giant spirit earlier, and secretly made a layout without the green mantis, wanting to swallow this place alone. Wei Tao felt more and more full of spirit, and the thoughts in his heart flashed rapidly, connecting all the discoveries after coming to this heaven and earth little by little.

At this moment, a surging light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes. A tall and heavy altar appeared in front of him.

The blazing white flames at the top four corners are the source of all light. There are also faintly visible translucent cobwebs, knotted in the void above the altar, crystal clear in the light of the fire, as if they were seamless.

Mo Ling stopped, knelt on his knees and saluted respectfully. A long figure stood on the altar and slowly turned to look down.

It collided with Wei Tao's gaze that looked up in the void, intertwined.

"Your Excellency is Mo Lian?" Wei Tao slowly walked forward to the edge of the altar.

"I'm Mo Lian." The man smiled,

"In you, I feel a familiar atmosphere, and it should be connected with Ximu."

"Besides, even I have not been able to see the methods you have shown to absorb those broken true spirits." At this, he sighed lowly and looked up at the cobwebs that seemed to have congealed above.

"However, what surprised me even more was the change in the clouds around you when the fog rose, as if there were a pair of eyes that seemed to exist and did not seem to exist, looking down from above. I tried to find its source, but there was no trace of it, only a dark void of dead silence full of horror. ”

"That's the mist and clouds, the true meaning of the beetle snake." Wei Tao was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little more solemn,

"At such a distance, Senior Mo can still sense the gaze of the beetle snake, which is a bit beyond my expectations."

"The beetle snake really means." Mo Lian fell into thought, and only after a moment did he slowly say,

"Why did you come to the Hidden Land?" Wei Tao raised his hand and pointed above the altar,

"I came here for the things left behind by my mother, and after seeing this cobweb, I basically achieved my goal." After a pause, he continued,

"But after seeing the cobwebs, I have a question that I don't understand."

"Since Ximu has already knotted the net here, and I am just an ordinary person, why was I still chosen by Ximu to become the mark it left in this world?"

"You can be chosen, and there is a reason why you are chosen." Mo Lian thought about it and said slowly,

"In my opinion, maybe the Joy Mother wants to take you under her command and become a Voidwalker to do things for it."

"I've heard this title several times, so do you know what Senior Mo really means?"

"Void walkers, walking in the dark, shuttling through different worlds, accumulating resources, feeling and cultivating, and leaving a mark, in order to be able to continue their lives until they reach the level of immortality and transcendence." Mo Lian said slowly and began to walk down from the center of the altar.

"If you had been here earlier, I might have taken you down and taken you down. However, after this retreat, I no longer have this kind of thought, and I don't need to use this method to comprehend the practice anymore. So you came just in time, and you and I were able to get here before I left. Wei Tao asked,

"Where is Senior Mo going?" Mo Lian's tone sighed with emotion, sighing inexplicably,

"This kind of life where I can see the end at a glance has made me feel a little tired and depressed. The so-called Demon Dao Leader, or even the First Talisman Master, doesn't really mean anything to me at all. Therefore, since I have obtained some of the djinn inheritance and successfully incarnated as a voidwalker, I naturally have to find the various marks left by the djinn, constantly improve and sublimate myself, and seek a glimmer of hope for transcendence. As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed.

Katsa let out a soft sound. Wei Taomeng narrowed his eyes, looked over a slowly opening stone slab, and saw the two well-preserved statues of the goddess Xi Mu inside, as well as the corresponding white jade spider.

"I've got the Djinn Inheritance, so these things aren't of much use to me." Mo Liandao,

"Since you have something to do with Ximu, you can take them all away if you need to, and it doesn't take a trip in vain." Wei Tao was silent for a moment, bowed and saluted,

"Thank you Mo seniors for the gift, and the cobwebs above the altar, if the seniors don't want it......" Mo Lian was slightly stunned, and then nodded.

"Cobwebs are also for you."

"Take your things, and you can leave."

"I'm about to close the secret realm, break through the void and leave this world, but it's inconvenient for Xiaoyou to stay and watch." Wei Tao ascended to the altar and quickly pocketed the cobweb.

He clasped his hands into fists and saluted again,

"If I have the opportunity to see Senior Mo again in the future, I will definitely thank you in return." Straightening up, he exhaled softly a cloudy breath,

"Since Senior Mo is going to close the secret realm, then I will take the first step, and I wish the senior in advance success and successfully find all the marks of the djinn." When the voice fell, Wei Tao smiled contentedly and took a slow step forward.

Mo Lian didn't care at first. The next moment, he narrowed his eyes. The hole shrank to the size of a pinpoint in an instant.

Mo Lian's eyes were extremely surprised, looking at the figure on the altar in the sky, and then disappeared out of thin air under his gaze, and he could no longer find the slightest trace of existence.

Little by little, time passed. I don't know how long later. Mo Lian finally came back to his senses, walked to the altar step by step, and stood in the last position where Wei Tao stood.

"It's so smooth, so powerful."

"The old man hasn't left yet, but he took the first step, but he was a little blind."

"Watching his trip, it made me feel a lot, and it was very helpful for the future journey to find the djinn mark."

"In this way, I owe him." He muttered to himself, and suddenly burst into laughter.

The sound grew louder and louder, and even the entire altar trembled slightly. ……………………………… Happy Mother's Lair, Dark Stone Temple.

Wei Tao opened his eyes little by little, and slowly got up from the ground where he had been sitting for an unknown amount of time. He felt the fullness of the true spirit, his fingers touched the center of his eyebrows, and the headache that was almost about to explode had disappeared without a trace.

This wonderful feeling that he had never felt before even immersed him in it, as if he thought he was dreaming.

Silently, the status bar came to mind. Absorb all the statues of the Mother of Joy and the white jade spider, and the gold coins jump sharply and skyrocket.

For the first time, it broke the three-digit mark, staying at the number of one hundred and three. After pondering for a moment in silence, he decided to return to the territory of Great Zhou first.

Once you have prepared sufficient supplies, you can immediately start improving the exercises you have cultivated. Then it's time to get rid of the spirits and clean up all the problems.

Wei Tao moved his somewhat stiff body, and soon came to the entrance of the spider web, and stepped forward with a familiar car.

Darkness swells and light comes. He opened his eyes from his dizziness and observed the surroundings of the garden pavilion, and after a moment he suddenly frowned, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Cangyuan City, it seems that something is not quite right. But what was wrong, he couldn't see it thoroughly for a while.
