Chapter 13: The Secret Realm of the Sword Shrine
The main hall of Tianxuan Palace is a common style in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, but it may be a little more grandiose.
After entering the door, on the side facing the door is the seat of the sect master of the Xuanmen Sect, and on the left and right, it is the seat of the various peak masters of the Xuanmen Sect, and under the various peak masters, there are also high-level figures such as the elders of each peak.
Maybe it's the randomness of the immortal cultivators, in addition to the necessary furnishings, the entire hall does not have too many dazzling and gorgeous decorations, but has put a lot of effort into the formation patterns and materials.
A large hall built in this way can be said to be equivalent to a super-large magic weapon.
After the two of them came in one after another, they couldn't help but look at each other angrily, and then turned their heads and sat down in a muffled voice.
Everyone in the main hall looked at the two old rivals who came in, and each had their own thoughts.
Among them, Shao Zheng, the peak master of the Discipline Peak, was the most unacceptable, and when he saw that the two of them were still arguing and arguing regardless of the rules at the sect conference, he said coldly:
"Hmph, two old guys, if you don't know the rules, go back and learn well, lest you lose the face of the sect when outsiders are there!"
"What, you old man Shao, and you have disciplined Lao Tzu!" Gu Lie, who originally had a relatively big personality, suddenly became angry, daring to say that Lao Tzu had lost face in the sect, and he couldn't help it when he wanted to roll up his sleeves.
However, seeing the expressionless Sect Master sitting on the main seat, Gu Lie still barely suppressed his anger and said angrily:
"Hmph, if it weren't for the sect master here, I would have beaten you on the spot!!"
Seeing that Gu Lie couldn't help but not make a move, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't expect that this old fool had grown a little, and he actually knew the occasion.
That's right, why did Shao Zheng tease Gu Lie after he came in? Naturally, he wanted Gu Lie to start doing it now regardless of the occasion.
In this way, he will be able to disgust the old fellow by convicting him of disrupting the meeting in the name of the head of the Discipline Hall.
It's just that I didn't expect that in addition to Jin Zhenyu, who still has a few brains, Gu Lie actually endured it this time, I really didn't expect it~~
Seeing this, Shao Zheng and Jin Zhenyu both pouted in disappointment.
"Alright, that's it. Seeing that Gu Lie knew about the occasion this time, the somewhat surprised Sect Master Duan Sheng also hurriedly said the end of the sentence with some relief, and said:
"Now, this sect conference has begun. ”
"First of all, this year's Daozi selection is arranged with this sect competition, right? ”
"Tell the sect master, yes, this year's Daozi selection will be held in conjunction with the sect competition in a month, and at that time, various regulations will be carried out in accordance with the old system. ”
The following Elder He Chao replied, this Elder He Dynasty is the person in charge of Tianxuan Palace, and the sect master does not care about things in normal times, and some miscellaneous affairs and activities of Tianxuan Palace are organized by He Chao, which is roughly equivalent to the secretary assistant of the sect master.
Next, there are some related miscellaneous reports, such as the arrangement of personnel at each peak, the distribution of participants, and so on.
Listening to these trivial reports, not only Gu Lie, but also some of the other peak masters felt a little tired, and Gu Lie was even more excessive, directly in his seat, leaning on the chair and snoring.
Finally, in addition to the trivial affairs of the sect and some of the more important affairs of each peak, the highlight came, which was also the main reason for convening this sect meeting.
Sect Master Duan Sheng raised his head and leaned back slightly, put his hands on the armrests of the sect master's throne, and after scanning the high-level leaders of the Xuanmen Sect in the main hall, he said an important thing that had happened in the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm recently.
"The Sword Shrine Secret Realm is about to reappear!"
"What!"
"Huh?!"
Even the peak masters who knew about this matter before the meeting began, they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard the sect master confirm the matter.
Because the Sword Shrine Secret Realm that this sect master said was not an ordinary secret realm.
In the Tian Yuan world, in addition to the real space, there are many small spaces attached to this big world, and some of these small spaces are absorbed by the world after wandering in the void, and some are opened up by the monks who have been overrepaired by miraculous means.
And this Sword Shrine Secret Realm is one of the many small spaces that are absorbed by the world, and it is also one of the most famous small worlds.
Because it is attached to the main world, it is not integrated into the main world, so the chimera between the two spaces of the small world and the main world is not very stable.
Only for a considerable period of time, in a short period of time when the spatial fluctuations were relatively flat, could the small world show the spatial folds connected to the main world, which was commonly known as the space gate by the monks.
However, this kind of spatial gate formed spontaneously because of the consistency of spatial fluctuations is not stable, and it may disappear at any time due to the disorder of spatial fluctuations.
Therefore, this time is long and short, the long one has not disappeared for more than a month, and the short one has just entered the people sent by the sect, and the space gate has disappeared.
The major sects in the Tian Yuan Continent had suffered a lot of such losses, so after a long and meticulous study, the monks finally found a way to stabilize the space gate one after another.
That is, first of all, according to the stability of the space, we should judge the upper limit of the monks who can enter it and the number of monks who can enter.
Because the larger the small world space, the more stable it is, and the more opportunities and risks exist at the same time.
Therefore, by observing the stability of the space, we can preliminarily derive a value to determine what level the small world connected by this space gate is.
And this value is the first evaluation level of this small world, and the immortal cultivation world usually divides it into four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, corresponding to the four levels of the highest limit cultivation period, the Yuan Infant period, the Jindan period, and the foundation building period.
And this Sword Shrine Secret Realm is a Ground Rank Secret Realm with extremely high danger.
Because the strength of the monk's own mana and the strength of the whole person's "sense of existence" itself will greatly interfere with the stability of the space, and the strength of the number of people entering the secret realm and the time of entry will become inversely proportional, so it is necessary to make a trade-off here to limit it.
(Whether it is to collect breath or consume all the mana, it cannot reduce the strength of the monk's own "sense of existence", so it is not feasible to seal the high-level monk, or consume the mana to a certain extent to enter the secret realm as a low-level monk.) )
The second is the means used to stabilize the space, and there are two main means that can be carried out in this regard.
Either set up a magic circle or magic weapon specially designed to stabilize the space door to stabilize it, or the great monk who is at least in the transformation stage will use his own ability to cultivate the stable space, so as to extend the opening time of the space door.
Of course, the materials that need to be consumed for a magic circle or magic weapon involving space are not easy to find, and the cost of using it once is quite expensive.
And not every sect will have monks in the god transformation period, and not all of them will make a move.
Therefore, in the face of the secret realm, only the big sects can explore relatively stably and safely, while the small sects can only either contact the big sects and drink some soup and water after giving most of the benefits, or they can forcibly send disciples into the secret realm regardless of the risks and loot the precious resources.
It's just that such teams generally go back and forth more often, because in the secret realm, in addition to the rare and unavailable resources of the main world, there are also many unknown risks.
And this Sword Shrine Secret Realm is an extremely dangerous secret realm.
Inside the secret realm, there is a world full of swords and stumps, according to the surviving disciples.
It seemed to be a large battlefield in the unknown world of the void, and for some reason it was shattered into space, and after most of it was wiped out by the void turbulence, one of the fragments that was left behind drifted with the void to the vicinity of the Tian Yuan Continent, and was absorbed by the world to form a small world.
I don't know how many years have passed in the secret realm, although most of the stumps and magic swords have decayed, but the evil spirit, killing intent, and even the remnants of the strong and spirit swords on the battlefield still exist.
And through countless years of unconsciously absorbing the evil qi and killing intent left on the battlefield, instinctive killing devouring the souls of the same kind continue to grow, and have already become powerful and fierce spirits, wandering on this broken battlefield.
And in the secret realm of the sword mound, there are countless such fierce souls...
......
"The Sword Shrine Secret Realm, it's going to open again..."
A young Taoist girl wearing a pale cyan robe said with some sighs.
The last time the sword shrine was opened, it was thirty years ago, although so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, but thinking of the tragic casualties caused by that exploration, the young Dao Gu still has some lingering palpitations.
In this era when the Heavenly Rank Secret Realm had not been visible for many years, a newly appeared Ground Rank Secret Realm not far from the Xuanmen Sect's territory and successfully attracted the attention of the vast majority of medium and large sects in Zhongzhou.
Therefore, even if the Xuanmen Sect is one of the twelve upper sects, it is not easy to occupy this secret realm alone, so it allocates the vast majority of the places in the secret realm together with the Taishang Qingtian Gate and the Ethereal Nine Heavenly Dao Palace, which are in Zhongzhou and are also one of the twelve upper sects.
As for the rest, it will be taken over by other sects.
Because it was the first time it was opened, although everyone didn't know what was inside, but because it was a long-lost secret realm through observation, everyone was not careless, and they all sent their own elite disciples into it.
At that time, the Xuanmen Sect sent out the elite forces led by the five Yuanying elders and the twenty Jindan disciples set out, which were also similar to the forces sent by the other two Taishang Qingtian Sect and the Ethereal Nine Heavenly Dao Palace.
But who knows, after this battle, even if it is a top-level sect like the Xuanmen Sect, it is also five Yuanying elders, two of them died in battle, and there are more than twenty Jindan monks, and only ten of them survived the dismal ending, let alone other sects.
You must know that the Yuanying Monk is not a cabbage, he grabs a handful, and the Jindan Monk is not a foundation to practice qi, which can be seen everywhere.
And the monks sent by the Xuanmen Sect in this battle are not the nameless wild cultivators of those small sects, but the powerful monks who practice the advanced and profound Taoism of the orthodox Zhongzhou Sect.
Even in the Xuanmen Sect, such a monk is an extremely backbone or even a high-level force.
And with such strength, he still suffered so much damage in this Sword Shrine Secret Realm. Even if it is a big sect like the Xuanmen Sect, this is a major loss that shakes the entire sect.
