The old man spoke in a calm tone, but his face was full of a slight smile.

"Thank you two seniors!"

The excited look on Gao Yun's face suddenly retracted, and he bowed respectfully to the old man and the one beside him.

"Since your talent is so amazing, I guess I can't wait to test your current strength. The old man said leisurely, "Do you want to hit the second layer of the Nether Demon Dragon Trick now?"

Gao Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in confusion: "You can hit the next layer now?" didn't you say that you have to wait until a month later. ”

The old man smiled and explained: "Every month's battle test is actually a test of whether you can continue to cultivate, and when the time comes, as long as you have fought the phantom, you can continue to stay, and if you can't fight, you will be kicked out." And for a month, you can cultivate as much as you want, as long as you can defeat the trial of the guardian spirit. ”

"So that's the case!" Gao Yun's eyes were blazing, and he was immediately overjoyed, "Since that's the case, let's start the second game quickly." ”

......

While Gao Yun's soul was attached to Ying Huang's mind for the true experience of the memories of his previous life, his real body was lying quietly in a closed palace.

This palace is an inconspicuous one in a large group of palaces, and this palace complex, called the Hidden Palace, is a hidden place located in the southeast corner of the Netherworld, except for a small part of the entrance is located in the vast forest with undulating peaks and dense jungles, most of the other buildings are in the underground cavities dozens of miles below.

At present, except for the Netherworld Sacred Realm in the uppermost plane, which is jointly controlled by ten temples, and is still stable, all other planes are in a state of division and chaos, and there are thousands of separatist forces in the entire interface.

In the southeast of them, there are more than 200 large and small forces, some of which are cultivators like Kaiyang Palace, some are family-like forces established by a certain native tribe of the Netherworld, and some are bandit organizations formed by a group of outlaws who occupy a mountain forest or natural hazards, or those rebel armies established by civilian warriors who have nowhere to make a living due to the war.

And the Youxuan Palace is a family force reorganized by some of the shadow families who escaped from the Demon Imperial City after the Netherworld turmoil nearly 10,000 years ago, as well as the descendants of the side lineage.

Because they were always worried about being discovered by the enemy, they chose this vast dark forest in the east as the base, and spent thousands of years on the ground to build a huge underground palace that was more magnificent than the original imperial city and stretched for hundreds of miles. Competitive rings and so on, as for the field experience necessary for cultivation, the disciples were arranged to carry out it in the dark forest where all kinds of strange spirit plants and fierce beasts were rampant.

For the sake of safety, the Youxuan Palace does not recruit disciples from the outside world, but makes every effort to cultivate the family disciples in the palace, and at the same time, it will also send people out from time to time to search for the descendants of the Youyou Imperial City who are scattered outside, so as to strengthen their own strength.

After a long period of recuperation, the current Youxuan Palace has nearly 100,000 people, two of whom have reached the peak of the Heavenly Netherworld, and there are more than 50 elders and Dharma protectors who have entered the Heavenly Netherworld, and they are in the upper middle of the strength of the forces in the southeast region, but because the disciples in the palace rarely move around, almost no one knows.

The person who is now in charge of the Youxuan Palace is named Ying Xuan, the peak strength of the Heavenly Netherworld, and he is still the direct descendant of Ying Wutian, the chief elder of the Imperial City.

The courtyard where he is located is located at the rear of the main hall of the Youxuan Palace, called the Qingyou Courtyard, and the place where Gao Yun is lying now is adjacent to the right side of the Qingyou Courtyard, called the Jingyou Courtyard, which was left by the palace master at that time to the late city lord Yinghuang's family after the completion of the Youxuan Palace.

At this time, Gao Yun's eyes were closed, his face was serene, and his body was lying softly on the carved bed in the center of the palace's inner room, his breathing was steady, and even a slight snoring sound was faintly transmitted from under his nose.

In the room, there were wisps of faint gray-white aura that swirled gracefully around the entire space in the room, transmitting a trace of soft and light gentle energy, along the subtle pores that opened and closed up and down Gao Yun's body, slowly burrowing into his body, continuing to nourish his soul power and improve his physique......

In the room, there are two young girls who take turns to take care of Gao Yun, who is sleeping.

But they never imagined that they would take care of him for so long.

It's been more than a month since he entered this state of slumber!

After all, from the outside of Gao Yun, it was impossible to see too high a cultivation, although this kind of long-term dormancy would not have much impact on the cultivator's body, but it would also cause some disorder in the aura and floating in the foundation.

What's more, they had no idea why Gao Yun had been asleep for so long?

A gracefully dressed woman with a red sword in her hand pushed straight through the room and walked in.

She was the Zhu Ling who brought Gao Yun away from the Northern Desert.

Looking at Gao Yun's bed, Zhu Ling immediately asked, "Hasn't he woken up yet?"

"Yes, ma'am. ”

After listening to the maid's answer, although she expected it, her face still couldn't help but show disappointment.

Seeing the master's expression, the empty mirror beside him sighed secretly in his heart and remained silent.

Looking at Gao Yun, who was sleeping unconscious, Zhu Ling secretly clenched the long sword in his hand, and immediately without saying a word, he quickly turned around and left.

Walking briskly on the empty cloister of the palace, the footsteps of the two could be heard, and the echoes from all directions could be clearly heard.

Zhu Ling frowned, carefully recalling the scene at that time, wanting to find clues about the reason why Gao Yun couldn't sleep.

"First the Flowing Fire Soul occupied his body, defeated the madman from Kaiyang Palace, and then Freeze appeared, and then Huang appeared, but there seemed to be something wrong with his sanity, and he actually attacked Freeze and his friends, and even attacked me...... Then I brought him back, injected another strand of soul into him, and the next moment, he fell into a deep sleep. ”

She suddenly thought, could it be that there was a problem with the two souls of Ying Huang when they were combined, so they couldn't wake up?

Zhu Ling remembered that when she was carrying out the soul combination, this body had automatically trembled for no reason, and then she also carefully scanned the soul situation in his body, except for finding that the soul after the union was a little sluggish, there was no other abnormality.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ling suddenly stopped.

She suddenly discovered an extremely important omission!

Because she was too concerned about the situation of Yinghuang's soul, she unconsciously ignored other important things.

She instantly discovered that the original owner of this body, Gao Yun's soul, was gone!

And as soon as he came back and began to combine the two souls of Ying Huang, Gao Yun's soul was completely gone!

In addition to the soul form visible to the naked eye, including his soul aura, it all seemed to have evaporated overnight!

"Could it be that Gao Yun's soul was completely ruined by Yinghuang?" Zhu Lingdai frowned slightly and muttered, "But in terms of his temperament, it's not impossible, wait for him to wake up and ask......"

Just as they were thinking, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded in the empty hall, coming from the direction facing Zhu Ling and them.

Immediately, a clear and loud voice came.

"Yo, isn't this our Miss Zhu Ling!"

The person who came and spoke to Zhu Ling and the empty mirror was a young man in white, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, tall and tall, looking extraordinary and talented. After he finished reading Zhu Ling's eyes, there was an obvious burning heat.

Behind him, there were two old men, both of whom were not good-looking, one looked yellow-faced and thin, as if a gust of wind could be blown away, and the other was a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his eyes were burning, and his expression revealed a fierce and cold color.

Zhu Ling saw that it was a few of them, his face was still as calm as water, and he was silent, but secretly frowned.

"I didn't expect it to come to the door so soon......" I1387
