Sword Blade Peak, Wash Sword Lake.

The mountain peaks are like sword blades rushing into the sky, reflecting in the lake, just like a sharp sword in the water, the waves are surging, as if rippling between the blades of the sword, washing away the filth of the blade.

Its name and its meaning are all in line with reality.

Chu Mu had already arrived at the lake, staring at this scene, and then looking around, his eyes moving slightly.

According to Zhao Shuang, the ancient monk's cave is hidden at the bottom of the lake, the battle ban still exists, the terrain is hidden, and entering the cave mansion seems to be going through the test of alchemy.

But...... The secret realm has been looted for seven years, and the information given by Zhao Shuang is still a few years ago.

Will there be other changes over such a long period of time?

Chu Mu groaned slightly, and between his gazes, occasionally a few rays of light flickered in the sky, which was also clearly visible.

If he could, he really didn't want to clash with other immortal cultivators, after all, the immortal cultivators of the major forces were basically in groups of three or two, relying on each other.

He is a casual cultivator, and he is also an evil cultivator with a huge bounty on his back, and in this kind of environment, if he is not careful, his situation will be extremely difficult.

After observing the environment for a moment, Chu Mu looked at the Sword Washing Lake in front of him.

The waters are vast, and it is difficult to see the end at a glance.

Although the water waves are rippling, they only move with the wind, and the overall appearance seems to be extremely calm.

If you are in the East Lake outside, it is obvious that there is basically no danger in the water.

After all, the land of spiritual veins is occupied, there are countless immortal cultivators, and there is no living space for demon beasts in the water at all.

Even if a mortal falls into the water, as long as he is good at water, there is no need to worry too much.

But this law obviously does not apply in this secret realm.

The extremely rich aura, the long-term unmanned and isolated environment, has undoubtedly become a paradise for the savage growth of demon beasts.

There are countless demon beasts in the mountains and forests, and in the past few days, the demon beasts he has encountered and seen are already innumerable.

And in this lake, according to the information left by Zhao Shuang, there are many demon beasts.

Moreover, encountering monsters on land and encountering monsters in the water are obviously two completely different concepts.

He checked his magic weapons, talismans and many other means, and then observed the surroundings, and then grabbed Wangcai, took off the sword, and flew forward above the lake.

In the end, with the information given by Zhao Shuang, after determining an approximate location, the flying sword light suddenly stopped.

He led Wangcai to the surface of the water, and finally slowly sank into the lake.

The water was much deeper than he had imagined, and it took him hundreds of meters to reach the bottom.

At the bottom of the lake, it seems to be a gentle slope that continues to fall, and as the progress continues, the water gets deeper and deeper, and the vision becomes darker and darker.

He didn't go more than a hundred meters, and when he looked up, with his current transformed body functions, it was difficult to see too much light.

Looking around the surrounding waters, it is only a few tens of meters away as far as the naked eye can see.

The release of the divine consciousness is limited to the obstruction of the lake, and the distance covered by the divine consciousness has also plummeted by more than half compared to the land covering.

"The aura seems to be a lot richer."

Sensing the aura at the bottom of the lake, the vigilance in Chu Mu's heart became more and more intense.

The aura in the secret realm is already extremely rich, and at the bottom of this lake, the intensity of the aura has been further improved, which undoubtedly shows that at the bottom of this lake, there are spiritual veins!

In this secret realm, it is not the Great Chu Immortal Realm in the outside world.

In the outside world, the spiritual veins are all occupied by the major forces, and in this secret realm, where the spiritual veins are located, it will only be occupied by powerful demon beasts.

"Second Order?"

Chu Mu had a little drum in his heart, judging from the experience of the secret realm, first-order demon beasts were everywhere, and they could be seen everywhere, only second-order demon beasts seemed to be worthy of the word powerful.

As soon as he thought of the second-order demon beast, Chu Mu almost couldn't help but think of the terrifying two-headed giant snake in the valley......

He practiced qi cultivation all over his body, almost all of them were above the fire attribute, and in this water, he was already severely restricted.

Refining body cultivation, under the action of water pressure, is not small.

If a water-attribute second-order demon beast emerges......

Chu Mu stopped his steps, looked at Wangcai who was following beside him, raised his hand and touched it, signaling Wangcai to be vigilant.

After walking for about a kilometer, Chu Mu looked up again, and there was no light, and the surroundings were even darker, but the aura at the bottom of the lake was getting stronger and stronger.

Chu Mu was observing the surrounding environment, and suddenly, there were water waves surging behind him, and an inexplicable feeling of palpitations suddenly appeared.

Rumble!

Before Chu Mu could move, behind him, Wangcai surged violently, the water waves were turbulent, and the claws directly pierced through a water snake with a thick arm that suddenly attacked, and as soon as he bit his fangs, he directly bit the water snake in two.

A thick stream of blood surged out, and it immediately stained the waters red.

Chu Mu frowned, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

The world of demon beasts is the law of the jungle.

Wangcai is just a worldly dog, how long will he follow him after being otherworldly?

Right now, it is already equivalent to the late stage of Qi cultivation for immortal cultivators, and they are even close to consummation.

What is the reason for such rapid growth?

Because of the fighting again and again, the flesh of the immortal cultivator is eaten as food, and after entering the secret realm, he eats his demon beasts as food!

This is just like him, although Linggen's qualifications are inferior, his external resources are sufficient.

And the resources of demon beasts, except for some natural treasures, are the weak and the strong.

The smell of blood is revealed, so what is next......

Chu Mu looked around, patted Wangcai, who was still devouring the remnants of the water snake demon beast, and then walked quickly to the bottom of the lake, and the speed of his progress seemed to have increased a lot.

But it seems, a little late.

In this water, the sensitivity of the demon beast to blood was still beyond Chu Mu's expectations.

In just a few moments, several water monsters attacked one after another.

The scarlet spread with the current in the water, and the gloom between Chu Mu's eyebrows became more and more intense.

Rumble!

There was another roar, and a fish monster that looked like a shark in the previous life appeared, and before it could get close, several water arrows that merged with the lake water attacked.

Chu Mu didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, the giant god arm swung out, and the terrifying power directly knocked down the head of the giant whale, and then Ming Hong's knife appeared, and with a knife falling, it was directly beheaded.

Rolling blood, the entire body of water seemed to have turned into a strange scarlet.

Feeling the increasingly clear tyrannical aura of the surrounding waters, Chu Mu couldn't care too much, and kicked out, kicking the giant whale corpse in the opposite direction.

"Let's go!"

didn't leave any more strength, pulling Wangcai to run wildly under the water, running wild only a dozen steps, Chu Mu's steps stopped suddenly, looking at the dozen or so demon beasts that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was already speechless.

The only thing that seems to be fortunate is that these demon beasts are not very high in cultivation, and they are only first-order demon beasts.

The bloody battle reappeared, but this time, although it was devastating, but this kind of devastating and decaying only lasted for dozens of breaths, and Chu Mu could only lead Wangcai to flee in embarrassment!

And behind him, there were dense monsters of all kinds of strange shapes, including those who killed each other, those who fought for corpses, and those who took Chu Mu as their prey......

This seems to be a vicious circle, the stronger the smell of blood, the more demon beasts, even if Chu Mu has confidence in himself, such a vicious circle, he obviously does not dare to be reckless.

Yu fled in embarrassment in the water for nearly half an hour, and after confirming that those demon beasts had been thrown away, Chu Mu stopped slightly, his breath converged, and the phantom mask covered it, hiding the traces as much as possible.

Looking around, Chu Mu tried his best to identify the traces at the bottom of the lake, comparing them with the information about the Ancient Monk Cave Mansion left by Zhao Shuang.

Right now, he had no doubt what Zhao Shuang said.

After all, the water of the lake is at least hundreds of meters deep, and such a huge water pressure, as well as the existence of the lake, are almost limited in all aspects for immortal cultivators!

Even if it is a body refining cultivator, the huge water pressure and the restriction are extremely large.

Coupled with the endless stream of aquatic demon beasts, there is also a keen sense of blood.

The bottom of this lake is simply a forbidden place!

The only good thing is that he didn't attract the attention of high-level spirit beasts, these first-order demon beasts have low intelligence, and chasing him is only out of desire for prey.

When encountering other targets that are better prey, they are immediately distracted.

Otherwise, it's really going to be a big problem.

In such a place, if you don't know exactly what the opportunities are.

Ordinary immortal cultivators obviously don't run over to find it boring.

"It should be on the northeast side of the Ancient Monk's Cave Mansion, and the reef is marked in the jade slip."

Recognizing the surrounding environment, Chu Mu cautiously moved forward, the experience just now was really terrifying.

If you do it again, the ghost knows if it will attract the second-order demon beasts.

He didn't dare to gamble.

"Huh?"

After walking a few steps, the strange feeling coming from the soles of his feet also made Chu Mu subconsciously stop.

He took a step back, and the place where he had originally stepped on was faintly visible.

"Alert."

Chu Mu patted Wangcai, then slowly squatted down, brushed away the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake, and what caught his eye was a ...... Broken sword?

Chu Mu was stunned, stretched out his hand to hold the tip of the sword, and gently pulled it out, the mud and sand surged, and the whole sword was cut off, and it was also directly pulled out and appeared in front of him.

The broken sword is only a few feet, the formation ban has been damaged, and even the material of the sword body has been corroded by the years.

And the hilt of the sword .........

At the hilt of the sword, there is like a steel palm, and it is still tightly gripping the hilt.

“…… Be...... Puppet? ”

Chu Mu frowned slightly, looking at the puppet palm in front of him.

The puppet's palm seems to have been cut off directly, and although the interface has been corroded by the years, the clues can be faintly seen.

The pattern of the forbidden array, like the broken sword, has long been invalid, only faint traces can be seen, and even the material of the body has been corroded to the point that it cannot be seen.

Obviously, this mutilated puppet palm, as well as this broken sword, must have existed for a long, long time.

Otherwise, under the nourishment of the aura of the array forbidden weapon, the loss of only natural static wear and tear can easily be relaxed for thousands of years, even if it is damaged, it will not completely destroy the entire array forbidden.

Not to mention the main material of this broken sword, the spiritual material is originally created by heaven and earth, smelted and refined, and it makes the material itself go to the next level.

"Is it ......?"

Chu Mu speculated slightly, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

Immediately, he searched for it little by little within tens of meters of the surrounding area.

In just a few moments, in front of him, there were more than a dozen pieces of various refining artifacts that had been eroded by the years.

Swords, guns, swords, halberds, and broken puppet components, such as palms, broken arms, broken legs, and half a head.

"So...... Once, there was a big battle in this Sword Lake? ”

Chu Mu looked around at the bottom of the surrounding dark lake, his eyes moving slightly.

After a moment, he could only suppress the meaningless speculation and look at the things in front of him.

The pattern of the forbidden weapon, as well as its own material, have all been corroded, and these tattered things in front of him have obviously lost any meaning.

After looking at it casually, he was about to throw it away, but then he seemed to notice something, and his eyes instantly fixed on the broken puppet head.

"It's ......"

Chu Mu broke open the puppet's head, and the skull was already a mess, and the once sophisticated structure had been corroded.

But in the center of the skull, a round jade the size of an eyeball, inky black and translucent, is very conspicuous.

"Yes...... Soul Stone! ”

The puppet inheritance in my mind was flowing rapidly, and soon, this slightly unfamiliar word was easy to freeze in my mind.

Chu Mu's eyes lit up, and he looked at this soul condensing stone, as if he couldn't hide his eagerness!

Soul Stone, a second-order lower grade spiritual material.

The second-order low-grade spiritual material doesn't seem to be rare.

But...... Soul Condensation Stone, the word Condensation Soul, can undoubtedly explain a lot.

The soul-condensing effect it possessed undoubtedly gave it a value far beyond that of a second-order lower-grade spiritual material, as well as its rare rarity.

After all, in this immortal cultivation world, as long as anything involves the divine soul, its value must be soaring, and it must be extremely rare.

At least, as far as he knew, all the magic weapons involving the divine soul, the indispensable spiritual material, was this soul condensing stone.

On the market, there is no existence of the Soul Stone at all.

The level of the spiritual weapon, he has not yet touched it, and he is not very clear, but since it is a second-order spiritual material, its utility will obviously also act on the spiritual weapon.

He didn't have much need for a condensing magic weapon, after all, the existence of his Divine Soul Knife was enough to replace any Divine Soul Magic Weapon.

But the other effect of this Soul Condensation Stone was extremely important to him, to him as a refiner, a puppeteer.

According to the Puppet Inheritance, this Soul Stone is also an important spiritual material for refining puppets.

In the puppet system, the role of the soul condensation stone is to carry the soul and be the core center of the puppet.

In other words, if it is an ordinary puppet without a Soul Stone, its control center can only receive some extremely simple commands.

Just like the four bamboo dragonflies he refined, he basically relied on his own control, and even if he let it investigate, he could only give some extremely simple instructions.

But if the Soul Condensation Stone is used as the basic spiritual material and refined into a puppet control center, it is equivalent to installing an intelligent center on the puppet!

Its significance is equivalent to the mecha in the previous life, with an additional intelligent chip.

It's like a robot with some logic and intelligence!

Its role is obviously self-evident.

Chu Mu took out a jade box like a treasure, and carefully put the half of the head into the box and sealed it.

When he looked at the bottom of the dark lake around him, there was only unspeakable eagerness left in his eyes......
