Between the rotation of the heavens and the earth, time and space change, and time and space span.

When I opened my eyes again, what greeted me was no longer the bustling and lively Shangjing City.

Let's look at the sky and the ground is far away, the white clouds are long, and the spring sun is shining, sprinkling the skylight.

A cry draws attention.

Yu Chen raised his head and saw that above the heavenly dome, a line of flying birds cut through the sky and flew towards the unknown distance.

They walked down this node array, and according to Wen Qitian's marquee memory, they went in the direction of the ancient mountain of Naxi Gorge.

This side of the world is slightly warmer than Shangjing in terms of weather.

Between the mountains and fields, the old trees sprout new buds, and the spring flowers bloom on the branches, but they are full of vitality.

Between the grass and trees, there were small beasts that woke up from hibernation, jumping and moving, causing the sound of rustling.

This sparsely populated West Gorge has become a paradise for these beasts and insects.

After Yu Chen and Wen Qitian walked out of the node of the Cave Void Great Array, they rushed all the way to the original residence of the King of Pingtian, the Xixia Ancient Mountain.

The two of them rode the nine ghosts, pierced the clouds, and overlooked the long land.

Most of the people they met on the way were some alchemists who had come to the Peaceful Heaven Secret Realm.

When you go out, you must be dispensable.

So even if you meet a lot of alchemists, or fly with the sword, or ride a flying horse, or shrink the ground into inches...... But when encountered, most of them looked at each other vigilantly and went their separate ways.

After more than half a month, Yu Chen and Wen Qitian have gone deep into the boundary of the West Gorge.

Along the way, I saw many abandoned cities, temples and ancient temples between the mountains and wilderness, mottled ruins, spreading green vines, and carving traces of time.

According to Wen Qitian, this is basically a product of the era of the Peace Heavenly King.

At the beginning, the West Gorge was barren, and the feng shui luck was bad.

It wasn't until the King of Heaven was born that he drove the fortune of the entire Xixia with the body of the King of Heaven that the Xixia prospered for thousands of years.

Those ruins of ancient countries, ruins of cities, temples and ancient temples, as well as the ruins of sects, came into being at the right time and flourished for a while.

But everything in the world has a time to pass away.

As soon as King Ping Tian died, Feng Shui fell, and the prosperous Xixia also fell.

It was okay at first, it was quite lively.

But thousands of years have passed, and the dead have died, walked, and returned to that barren and barren state.

Half a month later, the two of them took the Nine Ghost Chariots and flew over a huge canyon that seemed to completely separate the heavens and the earth, and they saw it from a distance, and the mountains were full of gold.

It was not a very tall mountain, but it was nestled among the mountains, and it was inexplicably like an emperor standing between the ministers and guards.

In addition, the golden-colored flowers all over the mountain reflect the whole mountain as if it were poured with gold, shining with golden light.

On the high peak of the gorge, the nine ghost chariots stopped aside, the four ghost horses snorted, and the fierce wind blew the robes of the two of them, looking at the golden mountain.

At the same time, a rich fragrance wafts in the wind and penetrates into the nasal cavity, refreshing people's hearts.

Wen Qitian's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, pointed to the mountain of gold, and said, "This is the Xixia Ancient Mountain, the passage to the Pingtian Secret Realm, also known as the Xixia Golden Mountain.

But in fact, it has nothing to do with gold, what really makes the ancient mountain like gold is the golden hazel orchid that spreads all over the mountains - this is a unique flower in the ancient mountain of Xixia, non-Gui Feilan, the fragrance of flowers floats for thousands of miles, and the flower mist ring is hundreds, and it is also the key to truly connect the secret realm of Pingtian in the small world. ”

As he spoke, he actually laughed, "At the beginning, my sister's favorite flower was this family's golden wield......"

Yu Chen: "......"

Along the way, it has been more than half a month, and he has not arrived at a place, and this Wen Qitian has to mention his senior sister Yan Yu.

Absolutely necessary.

Hearing this, Yu Chen's ears were about to become calloused.

But after thinking about it, if it weren't for such a strong obsession, it might not be possible to condense these three grand wishes.

"Let's go."

Yu Chen looked at the vast golden mountain, took a deep breath, and walked away, Wen Qitian also cleaned up his mood and followed.

Before they had really arrived, they saw from afar, in all directions of heaven and earth, figures piercing the sky, like moths to a fire, rushing into the ancient mountain.

Among them, there is no lack of terrifying aura that makes Yu Chen's heart tremble.

There was a monk in plain clothes and bare feet, with a compassionate expression, his hands folded, surrounded by Buddha light, stepping into the mountains and wilderness, and disappeared.

There is a young Taoist who stepped on the white crane, the qi of heaven and earth was mighty, and the wind and clouds were surging between his gestures, and the magnificent breath was like an abyss like a prison, and finally his body was swallowed by the gold.

There is a burly figure three feet high, covered in golden light, full of dragon scales, sideburns and double horns, a body of qi and blood, surging and mighty, every step, the world is shaken, between laughter, stepping on the golden ancient road, going to the small world.

There is also a long skirt, a goddess as cold and glamorous as a fairy, stepping on jade Ruyi, turning into a streamer and disappearing into the mountains.

……

One by one, Tianjiao came from all directions, and the strong aura was undisguised, and he walked up to the ancient mountain of Naxi Gorge, and finally under the guidance of the golden hazel orchid gui, he went to the secret realm of Pingtian that opened every ten years.

If there is a poem, the golden wisp returns to the fragrance for 3,000 miles, and the fish and dragons in the world enter the country!

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian went up to the ancient mountain of Naxixia together, only to see the trees in the mountains, and on the trees were the golden flowers, which were shining and brilliant.

Wen Qitian picked a branch and said: "Start with flowers, sing the name of Pingtian, and you can step into the secret realm." ”

After that, he spoke softly and said: "There is a king in Xixia, and his life can be peaceful." ”

As the words fell, the golden flower suddenly burst out with a burst of brilliant light, completely submerging its body.

Yu Chen has learned from each other, and he is also reciting.

In an instant, the golden light surged, and there was another whirlwind of heaven and earth, and time and space shuttled.

When I opened my eyes again, it was another spectacle.

But I saw that it was a vast plain, overgrown with wild grass, thick fog, and shadows in the fog, rustling.

Looking up, above the boundless sky, there is a huge shadow in the distance, floating above the high sky, as if there is a supreme power, lifting the entire continent to the sky!

A dark golden passage descended from the heavenly continent and stood in the middle of this boundless wasteland.

"There, it's the second floor."

Wen Qitian explained: "The Pingtian secret realm is divided into seven layers, skin, flesh, bones, marrow, brain, heart, layers are very different, each layer corresponds to a palace, and the palace leads to the next layer, only if certain conditions are met, can you step into the middle and go to the next layer of the secret realm."

And this first layer is the layer of skin phase, also known as skin phase palace. Some natural treasures, rare and exotic grasses, ripe every ten years, although they are also precious, but compared to the upper level, it is lackluster, some alchemists such as the spirit phase god realm, without the ability to pass the skin layer, will knowingly find some opportunities in this skin phase palace, and withdraw from the palace. ”

Yu Chen snorted, and while walking towards the central Skin Xiang Palace, he opened his mouth and asked, "What are the conditions for passing through the Skin Xiang Palace?" Walking? Boundary? Combat power? ”

"No, it's neither, it's ...... Dermatophysiognomy. Wen Qitian shook his head slowly, "Although it is a secret realm of inheritance, everything that is related to those Heavenly King Venerables is extremely dangerous—even if it is a deliberate inheritance test.

The test of this skin palace is...... Here they are. ”

As he spoke, Wen Qitian stretched out his hand and pointed.

Just look at the thick fog, one after another figures like beasts that smell blood, passing through.

Along the way, it squirmed and reverberated around.

At the same time, a strong smell of blood came from the thick fog.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

It was like a ghostly laughter, resounding between heaven and earth.

Swish!

Suddenly, a humanoid object rushed out of the dense fog and rushed towards Yu Chen and the others with lightning speed!

It moves quite strangely, as if its knees can't move, and when it jumps, it kills straight in the air!

That speed, that power, and the turmoil of heaven and earth that it brought can make Yu Chen feel it.

- Comparable to the Divine Realm!

The next moment, look at the black figure, bursting out with a strong blood light, poking out two arms, and blood light bursting out.

Yu Chen's eyes lifted, his body did not move, and he shouted, "Fixed." ”

In an instant, as if it had really been frozen, the figure's fierce forward action stopped, and it fell weakly in the air and smashed to the ground!

At this moment, Yu Chen had the time to look at it.

Look at this is a crude scarecrow, woven with yellowed straw all over the body, but outside the straw, it is wrapped in a layer of bloody human skin, hanging on the straw, extremely terrifying!

The eyes were red because of the blood, like a mad ghost!

Wen Qitian stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

——The body of the paper figure that Yu Chen tied to him is the realm of the primordial gods, which can naturally allow him to exert his strength.

And the alchemists of the first way of the text are the ones who do not rely on the physical body to fight.

Listen to his muttering, and point his finger at the man's fur man, who seems to have been disintegrated by an invisible force, turning into wisps of straw and falling down.

And on that human skin, a golden-red light bloomed, converging on Wen Qitian's fingertips, turning into a golden-red liquid the size of a projectile, boiling and boiling, bursting into a blazing heat, as if it was about to ignite everything around.

"That's the key to getting through the cortical layer."

Wen Qitian looked at the boiling golden-red liquid in his hand, and explained: "This thing is called, gold juice and copper water, which is said to be a quenched spirit object refined by King Pingtian. ”

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the hot gold and copper water was imprinted on the paper figure.

At that moment, Yu Chen could clearly feel that the strength of the paper man's skin was obviously stronger in the place where the gold juice and copper water had been soaked.

"Fellow Daoist, the key to passing through the first layer of skin is to quench the skin with this gold juice copper water, and when the whole body is tempered by it, you can step into the skin phase palace, go to the sky, and reach the second layer."

Wen Qitian took a breath and continued: "Quenching skin, forging flesh, refining bones, nourishing organs, coagulation of marrow, strengthening the brain, and merging the gods - this is what countless intruders have to do in the Pingtian Secret Realm, which is called the Seven Refinements of Pingtian.

And in addition to the countless hidden heavenly treasures and chance creations in this Pingtian Secret Realm, countless alchemists came to this Pingtian Secret Realm just for this Pingtian Seven Refinements - even if they never stepped into that seventh layer in the end, the benefits they got were real.

I guess the last time I was on the seventh layer, I was stuck in this god stage, and in the end, I fell short, and my senior sister was also trapped in it. ”

Yu Chen nodded, it was clear, and asked on a whim, "What if the seventh refining god of the seventh layer also succeeds?" ”

"Nobody knows."

Wen Qitian raised his head and looked at the sky, his gaze was far-reaching.

"But there is a legend in the wild history - there are seven refinements in Pingtian, and there are seven refinements...... Can become immortals. ”
