Gu Changfeng naturally didn't pay attention to Lan Xiangxiang's thoughts.

He gently patted the carapace on the golden beetle's body, draining the latter's pure spiritual power.

The golden beetle squinted its four eyes with ease like a wounded person who had been treated.

After a while, after Gu Changfeng saw that the golden beetle's state was stable, he asked, "You should have a good spiritual intelligence." ”

"I'll call you Xiaojin in the future."

The golden beetle with the name looked very happy and waved its feet a few times excitedly.

"Tell me the story of this place." Gu Changfeng sent a message to the golden beetle through his divine sense.

“.”

"Hello Master."

"This is the Ethereal Sect, and the place where the master is now is the living area of the intermediate disciples."

The golden beetle transmitted a message to Gu Changfeng through his divine sense, and although it was a little confused, it was still able to express what it had to say.

"Ethereal Sect?"

Gu Changfeng frowned, and began to recall the historical information of the Eastern Landing Star that he had obtained in the Roselle Valley.

In the history of the Eastern Landing Star, there is no record of the Ethereal Sect.

"What star is the Ethereal Sect on?" Gu Changfeng asked.

"Which star?" The golden beetle obviously didn't know how to answer Gu Changfeng's words.

It was silent for a moment, then finally said, "I don't know the meaning of the stars in my master's mouth. ”

"The Ethereal Sect is the number one sect in the Xingyang Realm, and of course it is in the Xingyang Realm."

"Master, aren't you from the Xingyang Realm?"

"Huh? Your costume is not the costume of the Ethereal Sect! ”

The golden beetle said with some surprise, its little head melon didn't seem to know that the first sect in its mouth had become a relic.

"Xingyang Realm"

Gu Changfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, but his heart was not calm at all.

The term "interface" or "plane" originated several eras of practice.

According to the current records, there seemed to be no stars in the sea of stars in the universe at that time, and some were just patches, huge continents floating in the starry sky of the universe.

No one knows exactly what era it was at that time and what the cosmic sea of stars looked like.

However, through this, Gu Changfeng could be sure that the time that this relic had existed was much longer than he had estimated.

More than 100,000 years is like a drop in the ocean compared to an era of cultivation.

"Xiao Jin, I think the Ethereal Sect should no longer exist." Gu Changfeng thought for a while and said.

"Can you tell me what happened before you fell asleep?"

"Yes, master."

The golden beetle seemed to fall into the memory, and it was a full half an hour before Gu Changfeng received the divine consciousness fluctuation from it again.

"I am a sect protector spirit insect unique to the Ethereal Sect, a golden beetle."

"The Golden Beetle clan likes to devour all kinds of ores, and it also has a restraining effect on the monk's magic weapon."

"Therefore, after the golden beetle becomes an adult, it will be selected by the disciples of the sect and become a contract spirit worm."

"This kind of contract is actually a two-way choice, while the disciples of the sect choose us, we are also choosing the disciples of the sect."

"The greater the potential, the better the talent of the disciple, is the existence of our clan competing with each other."

"Until one day."

The golden beetle's divine sense intermittently transmitted information to Gu Changfeng, and some of the information was incomplete, and Gu Changfeng still needed to guess it in combination with the words before and after.

This couldn't help but make Gu Changfeng feel that the golden beetle had hurt Zhihai in the process of self-sealing and sleeping.

"Until one day, the best talented disciple of the inner sect of the sect came to select spirit worms."

"This is our chance, too!"

"Many of the same kind are secretly riveting, just to be able to reach a contract with this Tianjiao."

"But this Tianjiao's conditions for choosing the golden beetle are extremely harsh."

"She took out a piece of xenoore, or a star beast heart."

"Star Beast Heart!?" Gu Changfeng's heart moved, and when he thought of the system's promotion of him, he mentioned the little gold in front of him, and it was because he had the heart of a star beast that the abnormal change occurred.

"The attributes of this Star Beast's heart and ore are similar, and this Tianjiao said that that Golden Beetle can successfully devour the Heart of a Star Beast without dying."

"You'll get her contract."

"The harsh conditions have made a lot of my kind retreat, but I don't."

"I managed to devour the heart of this star beast, and I didn't die, and not only that, but my body also underwent some abnormal changes."

"Since then, that Tianjiao has taken me."

"However, what disappointed me was that she didn't contract me, but found a hidden place in this intermediate disciple area and studied my mutation in private."

"Every once in a while, she will come here and put different spirit insects and even spirit beasts on my body through an evil formation."

"I can't remember how many years I've been tormented by her."

"Until one day, she never showed up again."

"I also had to fall into a deep sleep because I was confined here."

"Wake up again, I have been contracted by my master to become your spirit worm."

The golden beetle finally finished what it wanted to say.

Gu Changfeng's eyes moved slightly, and he secretly pondered in his heart.

The information brought by the golden beetle didn't mean much to him.

"Do you know that the Ethereal Sect's hidden supernatural power, if the cultivation is successful, even the monks who are one or two above the great realm will not be able to detect it." Gu Changfeng asked.

"Hidden powers?" The golden beetle was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Of course I do." ”

"This supernatural power is the secret of the Ethereal Sect, and it is a supernatural power recorded in the Ethereal Heart Method."

"Only core disciples have the opportunity to practice."

"Ethereal Method. The secret that is not passed on" Gu Changfeng seemed to have grasped the key point.

After a slight hesitation, he said to the golden beetle, "Xiao Jin, you just said that you tortured that pride of the sky, is she qualified to learn this ethereal heart method?" ”

"Although she is a rare genius, according to her status at the time."

"I shouldn't be qualified to learn the Ethereal Mind Method."

The golden beetle was silent for a moment before saying.

"Okay, I got it." Gu Changfeng didn't ask, but nodded, and then said to the golden beetle, "Xiao Jin, what are the stone roads and stone guards outside here?" ”

"The stone path is the defensive circle of the intermediate disciple area."

"The stone guard you mentioned should be the defense method of the magic circle."

"I haven't seen this circle activate."

"So there's not a lot of knowledge about it."

"Xiao Jin, you can engrave me a copy of the map of the Ethereal Sect that you know." Gu Changfeng thought for a while, took out a jade talisman and threw it to the golden beetle.

"Mark the areas where you think you might have ethereal methods."

"Good master." The golden beetle clamped its feet, and soon completed the jade talisman engraving and returned it to Gu Changfeng.

"You go back to the spirit beast bag and rest first." Gu Changfeng waved his hand and put away the golden beetle.

Then he slowly turned around, looked at Lan Xiangxiang and said, "It's really a right choice to take the Blue Fairy to explore the ruins this time." ”

"Although this spirit worm is a little ugly, its ability is strong one by one."

"Contracting this spirit worm should be my biggest gain now."

"It's good to be able to help my seniors." Lan Xiangxiang smiled gently.

"It's not just helping." Gu Changfeng said with a smile, "The Blue Fairy has helped me a lot." ”

"If there is no Blue Fairy, this stone path formation will be enough for me to have a headache for a while."

Through Lan Xiangxiang's induction, the two of them avoided many unnecessary battles along the way.

Exploring the area has gone well.

"It seems that the Blue Fairy and this ruin have a lot of fate." Gu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Senior Gu, you're laughing." Lan Xiangxiang said a little shyly, "If it weren't for the support of your seniors." ”

"With only this little bit of cultivation from the juniors, it's hard to get here."

"If you don't have a predecessor, even if you are destined, you will have no share."

"The Blue Fairy is too humble." Gu Changfeng beckoned and put away the spirit guards.

"I've got a map of the ruins."

"This is now the Intermediate Disciple Zone." Gu Changfeng picked up the jade talisman and looked at it and said, "The more you go inside, the higher your disciple's identity will be." ”

"The higher the chance of something good."

"Shall we go inside first?"

"Okay, everything is arranged by the seniors." Lan Xiangxiang said.

"Then let's go." Gu Changfeng beckoned, walked out of the wooden building with Lan Xiangxiang, and walked towards the inner area.

An hour later

"Boom"

A huge stone guard that was more than two feet tall fell with a bang.

The huge head rolled to the side.

A flying sword shining with five-colored glow flew back into Gu Changfeng's sleeve robe after circling.

As Gu Changfeng and Lan Xiangxiang got deeper and deeper.

The density of Shi Wei has also increased dramatically, and it has reached the point where it is unavoidable.

Moreover, Shi Wei's cultivation has reached the top level of the Melting Void Realm, and the Five Elements Spirit Guard has no way to compete with it.

After all, Shi Wei's foundation was in the entire defense array, and the spiritual power in his body could be continuously replenished from the array.

Based on this alone, Gu Changfeng's spiritual guard had no way to compare with it.

In order to speed up the progress, Gu Changfeng had to personally kill these stone guards.

Lan Xiangxiang, who was following behind Gu Changfeng, was now full of numbness on her face.

Along the way, she couldn't even remember how many stone guards Gu Changfeng had killed.

These top stone guards in the Void Realm, under Gu Changfeng's hands, are like a child who has no power to restrain the chicken, and there is no one enemy.

All in one hit!

And in the successive battles, Gu Changfeng didn't seem to have consumed at all, and his breath was still stable and long.

"Senior Gu will be a Tribulation Realm cultivator?" Lan Xiangxiang thought to herself in her heart.

The strength shown by Gu Changfeng is really too powerful.

is so powerful that such a loose cultivation as Lan Xiangxiang has never even heard of it.

"Is this Xeon?"

Lan Xiangxiang honestly followed behind Gu Changfeng.

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart when she would be able to achieve this kind of cultivation, and how majestic it would be.

At that time, she should no longer be afraid of the small role of Black Lion Hall.

"We're here."

Just as Lan Xiangxiang was thinking a lot of things and was caught in the battle between heaven and man, Gu Changfeng's voice sounded in her ears.

Hearing this, Lan Xiangxiang hurriedly raised her head and looked ahead.

I saw a tall tower appear in front of the two of them.

The tower has a total of nine floors, each floor is about two zhang high, thick at the bottom and thin at the top.

From the outside, it is a decent tower.

At the main entrance of the first floor, there are three big characters on the book, "Flying Tower".

This tower was the closest and important place that the Golden Beetle had marked for him.

According to what the golden beetle said, this flying tower is used to assess intermediate disciples.

Intermediate disciples can pass the ninth layer in succession, and then they can become advanced disciples.

Thus receiving rich rewards.

As for what the content of the assessment is and what the reward is, the golden beetle does not know.

Gu Changfeng slowly walked to the door of the first floor with Lan Xiangxiang and looked at it carefully.

There is a fluorescent array on the Leap Tower, and there is no need to guess that it is a forbidden array.

Gu Changfeng poked out his divine sense, slightly felt the strength of the forbidden array, and found that it was only one-twelfth of the power of the magic circle at the entrance of the cave.

This strength naturally couldn't stop Gu Changfeng's footsteps.

However, he was not in a hurry to break the ban.

Gu Changfeng felt that this journey was a little too calm.

This Ethereal Sect is also a super force that dominates an interface.

Even if the former Ethereal Sect did not have the existence of the Immortal Realm, there should always be an Immortal Realm.

But after exploring all the way, Gu Changfeng has not encountered any decent dangers.

"What's the matter, Senior Gu?"

At this time, Lan Xiangxiang stepped forward and asked Gu Changfeng, "Is there anything wrong with this forbidden magic circle?" ”

After Lan Xiangxiang finished speaking, she also deliberately used her magical powers to check it out.

But she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

"Nothing." Gu Changfeng shook his head, "Blue Fairy, don't you think our exploration has been too smooth?" ”

"I just came across some small shrimps."

"There is no effective obstruction."

"I think this is a little too strange for a big sect."

"Huh?" Lan Xiangxiang looked at Gu Changfeng incredulously, and after being silent for a moment, she said, "Senior, do you have any misunderstanding?" ”

"Isn't it because of your strength?"

"If me, or those guys from the Black Lion Hall, come in."

"Senior, do you think they can get here without paying a certain price?"

Gu Changfeng's brows furrowed slightly, what Lan Xiangxiang said did make some sense.

But it wasn't enough to convince himself.

But the matter has come to this point, and Gu Changfeng can only take one step at a time.

He could only attribute the reason now to the fact that this was only an intermediate disciple area, and the resistance it brought was limited.

In other words, because of the relationship of time, the power of the various defensive formations has been dispersed.

Anyway, this leap tower, he is going to break through.

"Let's go."

After Gu Changfeng made up his mind, he waved his hand lightly, and the power of the spiritual void erupted and hit the prohibition of the gate on the first floor.

Seeing the surging spiritual light, the forbidden circle was quickly decomposed by the power of the spiritual void.

Soon, the door on the first floor was revealed in front of the two of them.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Changfeng shook his robe, swept out a stream of spiritual power, pushed the door open, and walked in with Lan Xiangxiang.

"The challenge begins."

As the two entered the first floor, the door behind them slammed shut, and a lifeless voice rang out.
