Chapter 163: The Ichimu Clan
"Maybe, it's really the underworld!"
Li Zhen quietly felt the qi projected from these void cracks, and his heart was full of realization.
Li Zhan would make this kind of speculation, not without purpose, because he had seen the underworld blood river in Lin Rouniang's dream, and he had also seen a lot of records about the underworld river and the sea of blood from the "Chronicles of the Scenery of All Nations".
One of the most famous places in that realm is the Sea of Blood, which occupies almost ninety percent of the entire underworld.
There are many rivers scattered across the land of the underworld, and almost every one of them is a murky body of blood, a vein of the evil and evil forces of the earthly world.
The aura here is very close to the Styx in Li Zhen's impression, although he has not really entered the underworld, but combined with the strength that Lin Rouniang and the others have shown before, he can still guess a few points.
He could even smell the smell of blood in the air nearby, the sinister aura that wafted from the cracks and deposited in the room.
The evil spirits from the underworld have polluted it into a river of blood, faintly distorted by strange shadows that resemble human figures, but they are disembodied, and there is no drowning and resentful spirits in the sea of blood.
Li Zhen guessed based on his own knowledge that these shadows were the spiritual thoughts that those resentful spirits had inadvertently emanated, and they had not yet condensed into spirits, but they had the projection of dreams.
Just as Li Zhen was silently watching the blood-colored river, the blood mist floating in the sky, and in the blood mist, ink-like cracks suddenly writhed, moving like life.
"Huh?"
Li Zhen's heart moved slightly, and he was blessed to the heart, giving birth to an ominous premonition.
But he saw that the red light was pervasive, like a stream of water seeping in.
A terrifying force of palpitations spread, everything around seemed to freeze, and the struggling and twisted figures above the river froze.
Li Zhen hurriedly turned around and retreated, running back with inexplicable palpitations, and soon after, he used his remaining strength to fly into the air, and after a while, he disappeared in place by means of a road mark.
Just after he left this place for more than a hundred breaths, the terrifying red light that condensed like a substance was like a blood carpet, and many illusory things like projections appeared in the heavens and the earth.
It was a tall giant wearing an animal skin apron and totem paint on his body, all of them with no eyes on their faces, only their foreheads and one eye erected.
A familiar figure stood in the crowd, the figure behind him was more than a thousand feet tall like a mountain, and his huge arms were outstretched, climbing on both sides of a huge crack.
Snort......
Like the sound of a cloth tearing, the crack seemed to become a little bigger.
Blood surged and poured into it at an even more frantic rate.
And on the side of the dream world, the red rays are like straight laser projections, shining in all directions.
......
"Husband, you finally woke up, it's been a day and a night, what happened?"
When Li Zhen woke up, the ninth princess was still standing by the bedside, and she couldn't help but be happy when she saw this, but at the same time, she was a little worried, and said with some doubts.
"I explored the boundary between reality and dreams, and I didn't expect that this place would be like this. Li Zhen groaned slightly, telling him what he had seen and heard on this trip.
Especially the experience of encountering the cyclops at the end, he emphasized it, and immediately asked: "Have you ever heard of the cyclops in the underworld?"
The ninth princess said with a little surprise: "I've really heard of it." ”
"Oh?" said Li Zhen, "what is that? I suspect that the Yaksha encountered a creature from the underworld like the Yakshas, but I heard that the Yaksha clan is beautiful and ugly, similar to Shura, and they must have blue faces and fangs, and they don't have one-eyed characteristics." ”
The Ninth Princess said: "That's indeed not a Yaksha, but a Ghost Fang Country's One Eye Clan!"
"The Ichimu Clan?" Li Zhen said in surprise.
The Ninth Princess said: "Yes, it is a powerful race native to the underworld, and the underworld sect has broken out a war with it since it entered the territory and established a path, and it is also from that era that the world knows that it is brave and good at fighting. ”
"So, what I met at that time was a giant of the Ichimoku clan who entered the dream of exploring the shadows?" Li Zhen couldn't help but sweat, "At that time, I thought it was some unknown little demon......
The ninth princess said: "That's an adult who has the ability to build a foundation, and the best have a natural Dao seed comparable to the cultivation of the Dan, there are many species in this world that are far more qualified than humans, and they don't need how to cultivate to have strong strength, and their bloodlines can inherit the natural supernatural powers, the kind that emits divine light with one eye and fixes your dream spirit, it seems to be the legendary dementor divine light, the supernatural power of the same name created by our human monks, originally imitated by its supernatural powers!"
The source of supernatural spells is similar to that of martial arts moves imitating beasts, either the wonders of heaven and earth, various disasters, or the innate abilities of other races.
Human beings grow up through continuous imitation and learning, but those species that are favored by heaven and earth are not, they have been active for countless years before humans become the protagonists of the era, and many things, human monks are still just students.
Within the Underworld, there is a magical power called the Soul Dementor Divine Light that comes from this, and it stands side by side with another magical power called the Soul Snatching Divine Light, both of which are powerful means of defeating the enemy.
She went on to explain: "The Soul Light can freeze the enemy's actions and make the physical body unable to move, while the Soul Snatching Light is the opposite, it is to capture the mind, seal the will to operate, and the mind is blank for a short time......
The two divine powers can be used together, which can effectively interrupt the enemy's movements, and ban all kinds of martial arts and divine channel methods. ”
When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Then I really killed a powerful opponent by mistake, but the other party doesn't seem to be very strong in his dreams, and I guess that he only has to build a foundation or even refine qi cultivation." ”
At this moment, his mind moved, and he suddenly took out a blood-red gem out of thin air, which was exactly the thing he had obtained in the dream.
"How can it be brought to reality?"
The ninth princess was also surprised when she saw it: "Ignoring the boundary between fantasy and reality...... This is already the embodiment of the law, and only high-grade spiritual materials, or some really special products, can do it!"
At the moment when this object appeared in reality, the gem was faintly shining, and the red light seemed to imprison Li Zhen himself and the nine princesses next to him.
At this moment, Li Zhen went out of his body, easily got rid of the confinement, and lifted it in the air.
After leaving the palm, the power of the gem decayed, and the body was finally released.
The ninth princess felt it for a moment, and her face was pale: "It seems to contain a lot of spiritual essence, at least equivalent to the level of a first-class magic weapon!"
This is really incredible, just a reliance has a weight comparable to the mana of a monk for decades?
Husband, you seem to have provoked a great person, and you still cut off part of his mana to create such a crystallization!"
"Really?" Li Zhen was surprised, "This doesn't make sense, why do I feel that he is a little weak?"
But soon, he remembered that he had been weakened by the laws of heaven and earth at that time.
Could it be that the cyclops should actually be Yuanying cultivation, but like himself at that time, he was weakened by that heaven and earth.
If you enter Dream Butterfly Valley, or other places that are biased towards dreams, will it become normal again?
If you think about it, it seems that there is some possibility.
Although the dream world and the underworld are called the netherworld, they are actually two completely different places.
The underworld is also a material world, and is essentially closer to the human world than to the dream world.
It may be that the laws of the two worlds intersect, and the lives cancel each other out, suppressing their respective supernatural powers and mana.
"Forget it, I don't care so much for the time being, the underworld and here are hundreds of millions of miles away, and it seems that there is no direct way, you need to travel through the void to arrive, if the other party is a strong person of another race, it will not be so easy to find, it's a big deal to be careful next time you go there." ”
Li Zhen had no clue about this, so he simply didn't care so much.
Despite this, thinking about some details at that time, Li Zhen couldn't help but secretly break out in a cold sweat.
Killing the Cyclops Dream Spirit by himself and causing it to collapse will reduce such a cultivation mana, what if it is the other way around, and is killed by it?
"Hmmm? No, it doesn't seem to worry, it's just a bit of a loss of energy. ”
"It's just a meeting of fantasy and reality, not reality. ”
"This kind of loss is calculated according to the proportion, it's not that I obviously don't have Jiazi cultivation, I will also cut down such a cultivation! If this is the case, maybe I will die in my dream on the spot and die in my sleep.
In ancient times, there were indeed some legends of nightmare killing, which may be closely related to the application of this law, but as long as the spirit level is high enough, there will still be some resistance, and there is no need to worry about it. ”
Li Zhen said: "Let's not talk about this for a while, I brought out some good things from it this time, and left a new road sign in it, next time I may be able to go directly to the Dream Butterfly Valley, you can also help me refer to the details, how to do it, in order to maximize the benefit of ourselves and increase our strength." ”
The Ninth Princess said: "The gem turned into this eyeball is suspected to be a high-grade spiritual material, with its own magical powers, extremely precious, or it can be used to refine magic weapons." ”
Li Zhen said: "Refining the magic weapon? This requires the consumption of a lot of spirit crystals or other treasure materials to maintain its spiritual essence, and I can only practice it when I have more than six to ten years of cultivation. ”
The Ninth Princess said: "It may not necessarily be necessary for you to refine it yourself, because if you have enough cultivation, maybe it will take you thirty or fifty years to ensure that you have a certain amount of mana, or eat some heavenly and earthly treasures that benefit your cultivation to supplement it."
In other words, it will take at least ten or twenty years to realize, and in the process, a lot of capital will have to be invested to nourish and maintain, and in my opinion, it is better to simply sell it in exchange for some of the immediate needs. ”
"Sell? That's a way to do that. Li Zhen said, "To be honest, I don't know if the soul light it has is useless, it should be regarded as a dispensable thing, which is a bit tasteless and a pity to abandon it." ”
The ninth princess said: "It is also possible to entrust other predecessors to refine, as long as someone is willing to consume mana to refine it and transform it into a magic weapon, it is not difficult, but the premise is to ask a trustworthy person to make a move, and will not be ignored by them, or take the opportunity to slaughter a sum." ”
The process of refining the magic weapon is clear, and it can be carried out according to a certain process.
However, one of the difficult aspects of entrusted refining is whether the entrusted person is reliable enough.
When you meet a black-hearted senior master, they have embezzled your materials, saying that the refining failed, and you have to cry without tears.
Although his move is the cause and effect of this treasure, your strength is weaker than him, and you have no way to even file a complaint.
In addition, the cost of reciprocal consumption of cultivation is not idle, and the monk always needs to keep a certain amount of cultivation in himself, and he will not be easily reduced.
If the damage is excessive, it is easy to consume vitality, and it may even lose the longevity at that time, endangering life.
Li Zhen said: "Maybe you can come forward as a senior and entrust Mo Qingping to refine." ”
The ninth princess said: "This is a bit risky, although he is intimidated by the trust of his predecessors, he is willing to take over the refining, and he will not be greedy for ink, but the trouble mainly lies in Zixu Zhenren himself, who frequently comes forward, and if he does these trivial things, it is possible to arouse suspicion." ”
What the Ninth Princess said is indeed reasonable, and now she hangs Mo Qingping's appetite, so that she can pretend to be mysterious and pretend to be a master for the means she uses.
When necessary, it is okay to go out for a walk, and from time to time to do things for the juniors before and after the saddle, what is this?
But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, this time is a special case, just take this opportunity to reveal the Dao Symbol of the Dream World to him, and try to ask him to take us to open up!"
"It's a good secret place, but I'm alone, it's inconvenient, and my knowledge is not as broad as that of my predecessors, so I'm afraid to enter the treasure mountain and don't know ......."
The ninth princess said, "Do you want to ask him to bring it?"
Li Zhen looked upright and took it for granted: "Of course, isn't it the most efficient way to open up the secret realm and find someone to take with me?" When I am proficient and can obtain some products stably, I can go there from time to time." ”
The Ninth Princess smiled and sighed: "That's really the case...... Ordinary small secret realms have many restrictions of their own realms, and their cultivation strength is too high to enter, but the dream realm exists by relying on heaven and earth itself, and even the power of the gods can be easily accommodated, not to mention that it is just Mo Qingping. ”
"And he's a Dream Dao monk, and he's very interested in exploring such a place, so he can't really be a treasure for every Dao sign!"
Li Zhen said: "I'm not sure if he has a sign to go to Dream Butterfly Valley, if he had been there in his early years, this news would not have the slightest value, but in any case, let's try it first, I can take this opportunity to sell what I got there......"
Exactly a few days later, it was the December fair, which was the last of the year.
Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess waited until the time came, and together they took Dream Butterflies, rainbow flowers, and all kinds of plants, trees, sand and stones to Neverland to investigate.
