Chapter 20: Progressing to the core
"Alright, boy, don't rub around here, hurry up. This is only the entrance part of the Demon Cloud Cave Heaven, and there are more magical places inside it that are worth exploring!" "Walking intently inside the Demon Cloud Cave Heaven, it took several breaths to find that Ye Qiuli did not follow, but stopped at the entrance of the Cave Heaven, not knowing what he was thinking, Zhong Li Shang hurriedly turned around and said hello.
At this time, he once again successfully entered this ancient ruin, which he had been obsessed with for more than 100,000 years, and finally had the opportunity to make up for the huge regret that he had lasted for an unknown amount of time, all his spirit had been attracted by the artifact magic weapon that might exist in it, and he couldn't wait to rush over immediately, rummage through it on the spot, and collect it back, but there was not much time to waste and delay like Ye Qiuli.
"Oh, got it, I'll follow. Hearing Zhong Lishang's greeting, Ye Qiuli didn't hesitate much, even if he raised his head in response, then quickly packed up his mind, took a step directly, followed Zhong Lishang's figure, and slowly walked towards the interior of the cave.
At this time, although he had successfully judged through various signs and reasoning that there might be a real artifact magic weapon in this ancient ruin, he didn't have much to think about it, and after thinking for a while, he quickly regained all his attention.
That kind of top-level treasure, even if it does exist, it is definitely not something he can touch, rather than wasting his energy on things that are completely impossible, it is better to be realistic and think about his future. In the current situation, that matter was clearly more important to him.
Unfortunately, he was involved in the calculations and plans of super masters of the level of the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor, and completely fell into a huge whirlpool that he could not get out of.
His cultivation realm at this time was still a long way from the minimum requirement for successfully urging the artifact magic weapon, even if he was lucky enough to get one or two of these treasures, he would not be able to get any immediate help from them, but he might even cause some unnecessary trouble because of his innocence and guilt, and finally add some unpredictable crises and tribulations to his already very difficult cultivation life.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had taken the initiative to admit the Lord and surrender to the best artifact he had accidentally obtained from Arcturus before, if it weren't for the special reason of his physique, I am afraid that by now, there would be no trace of subjugation, let alone any realistic effect from it.
However, even if that superb artifact has taken the initiative to recognize him as the master, and there is no need for hard training, control, and insufficient cultivation, he still can't urge it to exert its own magical functions and powerful power, and can only passively use the magical rhythm emitted by the artifact itself to accelerate the ascension of his own Dao realm, and if he wants to actively control it to achieve what he hopes to achieve, it is completely impossible.
With such a stark example on his side, how could he still be greedy and unwanted to have unnecessary desires for other artifacts. Those things, even if they fall into his hands, won't have much obvious effect, so it's better to just give up and improve your cultivation strength.
For him at the moment, that's the most important thing. When the cultivation realm is improved, there may not be any need to look for any artifact magic weapons at all, and directly urging all the functions of the Imperial Thunder Jinjian in his body is enough to defeat most of the artifact magic weapons left in the five worlds of immortals, demons, demons, Buddhas, and humans. No matter how many of these treasures the others had, they wouldn't be able to resist his efforts.
A top-level artifact that is completely consistent with its own qualifications and cultivation, after it is fully activated, the efficacy and power that can be exerted in the end are definitely not comparable to ordinary artifacts, and with such a top-notch treasure self-defense, even if everything else is given up, it doesn't matter at all.
"You must be more careful yourself, don't break in casually, although the formation prohibitions in this cave are much less than those outside, but each of them is an extremely powerful existence, even if this seat accidentally falls into it, it will take a lot of effort to successfully break through, not to mention that you are a cultivator in the human realm, unfortunately entangled by it, even if you don't die, you will definitely have to take off a layer of skin!"
Seeing that Ye Qiuli had quickly followed, Zhong Lishang didn't say any more nonsense, and after carefully reminding him again, he immediately focused all his attention on his actions again, repeatedly deducing the exploration and operation steps after that, so that he could spend the least time and the least cost, successfully find out the deeply hidden artifact magic weapon, and successfully subdue it into his hands, completely achieving the biggest goal of his operation.
He didn't expect that although he didn't show the slightest tone and acted very carefully, Ye Qiuli had already deduced the biggest secret that existed in this ancient ruin through the specific environment of this Demon Cloud Cave Heaven and his movement trajectory. If it weren't for the fact that the cultivation of the two sides was too different to be comparable to each other, whether he could successfully achieve his set goals on this trip was probably really a problem.
"Just let you go and find the artifact magic weapon that may exist by yourself, but I won't participate in it!" Seeing that Zhongli Shang's absent-minded and soulless abnormal appearance, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but chuckle secretly, and then didn't say much, even silently following behind him, and kept walking towards the center of this Demon Cloud Cave Heaven. The final destination of their operation is obviously located in that place.
......
"What a Immortal Cave Mansion, it really is not comparable to the ordinary mortal scene!" After passing through a deep canyon thousands of meters long at a constant speed for three or five minutes again, Ye Qiuli's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but praise loudly on the spot.
At this time, what was presented in front of him was no longer the comfortable and plain natural scenery before, but a completely different and magnificent scene. I saw that in the vast valley with a radius of thousands of miles, a magnificent palace group, as if it was on the sea of clouds, looming in the green mountains and forests, floating and sinking in the green water flowers, it seemed to be full of countless ethereal and leisurely meanings.
In addition to those palace buildings, there are also countless exotic flowers and plants competing for beauty, and the immeasurable gorgeous scenes are dazzling. In the surrounding green mountains and forests, fairy birds are flying, the posture is graceful, the strange beasts are hidden, the fairy spirit is awe-inspiring; in the streams and lakes in front of you, the koi fish jump, the spirit is vivid, the giant tortoise is hidden, the expression is leisurely, there are seven-colored lotuses in the middle, just like the elves in the forest, stretching the stems and spreading the leaves, swaying and dancing, at a glance firmly attract all the eyes of the observer, so that it can not stop for a moment. This boundless realm, ten thousand palaces, strange flowers and plants, cranes are auspicious, and the end is a fairy atmosphere.
Walking a few steps, climbing the stairs, really stepping into the vast palace complex, the scene in front of you is rapidly changing, as far as the eye can see, there are carved railings and jade bricks everywhere, hooking the eaves and fighting corners; you can see rare and exotic treasures everywhere, one after another, countless ordinary circumstances are not seen at all, or even if there exists, the number of top spiritual materials is extremely rare, as if they are ordinary mountain stones, they are directly used as building materials.
Those things, each of which is a rare treasure above the top grade spiritual material, fell into the hands of a real refining master, not to mention how outstanding the immortal weapon, magic weapon, general spirit weapon, treasure weapon, can still successfully refine countless pieces, at this time, it was used as a brick and stone and floor, piled up on the periphery of each building, and tiled on all the vacant ground, it looks really shocking, and it is not comparable to the general scene.
All the way forward, passing by countless palace buildings, crossing countless flower beds and streams, the style that I saw was quietly changing again, there was a little more solemnity in the luxury and gorgeousness, and there was a little more agility and nature in the solemnity, anyway, it was not something that ordinary cultivators in the human world could imagine at will.
And in this strange feeling, a white marble square spread out far away, and at the end of the square, a majestic hall stood tall, and under the sunlight, the whole body exuded a glittering golden light, as if it was completely made of gold. However, judging from what was observed before, it was obviously not ordinary gold, but another top-level treasure, no matter the grade or function, it was not comparable to ordinary spiritual materials.
Looking up, there was an aquamarine plaque hanging above the gate of the majestic hall, and in the middle of it was coiled into three ancient seal characters the size of a grinding disc with red blood jade coral-"Demon Cloud Palace", although the glyph was very ancient, completely different from the various words used in the current cultivation world, but the meaning could not be more clearly expressed, no matter who it was, as long as he released his divine sense to contact it, he could interpret it clearly on the spot.
Obviously, these words were attached to these words by the ancient monks who originally built this Demon Cloud Cave Heaven with very magical spiritual ideas, even if the existence of the words themselves is not considered, just through the spiritual ideas attached to them, the specific meaning can be fully understood. The method of keeping books by cultivators is indeed not something that ordinary mortals can imagine, and the specific name of this ancient relic is derived from here.
"Such a powerful spiritual power, after the slow passage of I don't know how many years, it still has such a clear might, the cultivation of the ancient monks who built this cave heaven in the first place really can't be underestimated!" Standing up straight, concentrating on the majestic ideas contained in the three ancient seal texts of the "Demon Cloud Palace", even if he had been prepared, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but secretly exclaim, his face was full of indescribable shock.
Although the spiritual ideas contained in these ancient seal inscriptions do not seem to have much specialty, and they are completely the same as the methods used by ordinary cultivators, but after a careful understanding, you can find that there are secrets hidden in them that many people cannot understand, and the more you understand them, the more you can feel the extraordinary, the more powerful the spirit, the more you can appreciate the vastness of it, and its magic is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
