Chapter 60: The Secret of the Seal
With the departure of the demon cultivators, the Bingyan Lake seemed empty, lonely and cold.
Zhang Ran sat cross-legged on the white jade boat, and his strong divine sense probed back and forth, except for feeling the extremely strong power of water and fire, he still found nothing. The surroundings of the lake have been searched several times, and there is no trace of a hole in the opening of the house. Could it be that I was wrong again, and the place where the circle was drawn on the skin of the demon beast appeared elsewhere?
His skull hurt, and he didn't know what to do for a while. If you continue to investigate aimlessly, I am afraid that it will be a poor toss.
Thinking of the power of fire and water, Zhang Ran was shocked, how could he forget this. It's not impossible that this cave is under the water. As soon as he thought of it, he put away the white jade boat, stretched out the lilac shield, and entered the water directly from the center of the Icy Lake. Open the Clarity Eye to see if there is anything unusual in the water.
The small silver-white fish were startled by Zhang Ran, who suddenly broke in, and scurried around. Some sticks with rotten skin and protruding bones, all over the water. Zhang Ran slowly sank to avoid the dark green aquatic plants that were pestering. Although his true yuan is strong, he can't stand the large consumption of true yuan. After five breaths, my feet stomped on the smooth stones on the bottom of the water.
Qing Lingmu used it for too long, and there was a burst of sourness, squeezing out a few tears. The bottom of the water is black and mushy, but fortunately, Qing Lingmu can still hold on to three breaths. The general situation under the water can also be seen clearly.
A small pile of strange rocks formed a half-circle, which did not look like a natural formation, but seemed to be made by man. Zhang Ran squatted down, his eyes were bright blue, and in the stone pile, there was a small cloud of green light faintly. Just as he was about to release the True Yuan to investigate, the purple lotus in the sea couldn't wait to suck this green light in. It turned out to be a soul array, this can't be wrong, that soul cultivator set up a soul array here to cover it, but it still can't escape Zilian's perception.
Without the soul array, a secret passage was revealed under the water, and the lake was surging and pouring back. Zhang Ran hurriedly squeezed in, casually laying a ban to prevent the lake from pouring in again. This soul cultivator is a good method, I don't know what method he used, he was able to explore the secret passage under the water. Could it be that the Jindan monks are all so powerful? The stone steps continued to stretch forward, and after five breaths, a stone gate blocked the way.
Zhang Ran stretched out his hand and pushed, but he didn't move. Again reluctantly used the Qingling Eye, but the effect was greatly reduced, except for seeing a little bit of lilac, nothing else was found, and the Qingling Eye was used too frequently. Putting away the secret technique, his divine sense moved, and a spirit exploration talisman probed towards the stone gate. Sure enough, the spirit exploration talisman caused a violent tremor, and with a "snap", the talisman turned into ashes. There is indeed a formation set up here.
Zhang Ran released the seven-star sword and slashed towards the stone gate, leaving only a few light white stone marks on the stone gate, which was hard and could not be done. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, his divine sense condensed, and a purple ball of true yuan floated into his palm. Zhang Ran carefully touched the stone gate with a hand full of Zhenyuan. Suddenly, the purple light of Shimen bloomed, like a frightened snake, and surrounded Zhang Ran at once. The true element in the dantian seemed to encounter a strong suction, and the true element was continuously sucked away. Zhang Ran was terrified and wanted to take his hand away from the stone door, but he couldn't move a bit, as if this hand was also firmly stuck to the stone door.
The dantian seemed to have been dug open, and the true yuan gushed out desperately. The body is sucked again, there is no possibility of getting rid of it, and he dies by himself, who is to blame. Hurriedly looked inward, the Zhenyuan pool was basically bottomed out, with only the slightest water stain. If this continues, it will not only be the true yuan that will be sucked away, but I am afraid that the flesh and blood of the whole person will also be sucked dry.
The divine consciousness also seemed to be imprisoned in some way, and there was a space filled with purple qi in front of him.
"Hey, you're finally here, old man Xiaoyaozi, you've been waiting for a thousand years. I don't want this barren green desolate world to really have someone who is destined. An old voice seemed to sound from the distant sky.
Zhang Ran was extremely frightened, and said loudly: "Seniors, juniors have strayed into this place, and there are many offends, please don't be embarrassed by the seniors." ”
"You can come in, because you have a relationship with the old man, and you can be regarded as the old man's successor from generation to generation. The weakened voice seemed to gasp for a while, and he didn't mean to talk to Zhang Ran at all.
He also said to himself: "If you enter the purple space, you will bear the spiritual root of water, fire, and water." must have cultivated the "Yin Yang Ascension Sutra" handed down by the old man, so it is not wrong to say that you are the successor of the old man. ”
No, Zhang Ran thought, what he cultivated was the "Ice Melting and Flame Technique", not the "Yin and Yang Ascension Sutra". Could it be that this "Yin Yang Ascension Sutra" is the follow-up part of "Melting Ice and Transforming Flames", is there really such a coincidence in this world.
"I'm a freelance son in the green wilderness realm, with the "Yin and Yang Ascension Sutra", there are few opponents. I also obtained this exercise by chance. The Qinghuang Realm lacks spiritual energy, what kind of power will there be, leaving exercises here. I also doubted that this immortal cultivation realm was also a corner of the immortal cultivation realm in ancient times. It's a pity that this exercise can only be cultivated to the Jindan part, hey. A long sigh of unwillingness, with too much resentment and sadness.
"The old man cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage, but he couldn't find an exercise that matched the water and fire spiritual root, so he had to change his cultivation. The old man's cultivation qualifications can also be said to be the assets of heaven and man, in the green wilderness world, no one can buy the price faster than the old man, hehe. Speaking of this, there was a slight smugness in the old man's voice.
"It's a pity, after the old man bought the price of Yuanying, he couldn't get an inch. On the one hand, the aura of the Green Desolation Realm is insufficient, and on the other hand, the resources in this place are really unable to withstand the consumption of the Yuanying Monks. After checking through the classics of the sect and the secret history of other sects, I learned that this Qinghuang Realm was really where it was abandoned. ”
"Every five hundred years, the boundaries of the Green Desolate Realm and the West Sea Realm are loosened, and the two realms are in a shocking battle, and blood flows and pestles. Looking through the classics, there is no explanation for the reason for this battle. The old man didn't have time to sit and wait for five hundred years, so he and his friends explored the passage from Qinghuang to the West Sea. ”
"Sure enough, the three seals actually sealed the Qinghuang Realm, and it was impossible to break it. I don't want to accidentally unintentionally perform the "Yin Yang Ascension Sutra" and break the seal. ”
"Unexpectedly, breaking this seal also ushered in endless pursuits. The Supreme Elder of this sect, together with the mysterious gray-clothed monk, launched a hunt for us. The old man concluded that the person who pursued and killed him must be the guardian of the seal. They were very hidden, and as for why they were guarding the seal, the old man didn't know. ”
"If you don't get into your infancy, you can't break it at all. Later, the old man and his friends discovered that no matter whether it is divine consciousness or true yuan, as long as it is contaminated with a trace of sealing power, no matter where it is, it will be discovered by the guardians. ”
In desperation, the old man ventured through the only seal that was broken, and actually went to the Xihai Immortal Cultivation Realm. The West Sea has countless resources, heaven and earth are full of spiritual treasures, and the old man quickly cultivated to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant. Hundreds of years have passed, and none of the cultivators of the Western Sea Realm have cultivated to the late Yuan Infant stage. Based on his previous experience, the old man thought that the Western Sea Realm must also be a sealed place. However, after hundreds of years of exploration, it turned out to be useless. ”
"The monk of the middle of the Yuan Infant Dynasty, with a lifespan of 1,200 years, is no match for the Dao of Time. Before the fall, the old man returned to the Blue Wilderness Realm and opened a cave here. There is a copy of the jade slip of the "Yin and Yang Ascension Sutra" cultivated by the old man, and there is a secret map jade slip of the three sealed places, plus some sundries. Among the miscellaneous items, there is a fragment of a seal, which I wanted to destroy, and I don't know if it will be of use to you, so you should be careful. ”
"Out of this cave, there is a small teleportation array set up by the old man, which can only accommodate one person to pass through. I don't know if it will be useful hundreds of years later. I wanted to announce this news to the Blue Desolation Realm, but I was afraid that human nature would be greedy, so I kept it for myself. I am even more afraid that the Seal Guardian will find out, but it will bring turmoil to the Blue Desolation Realm. ”
"The inheritance of the old man has been searched for in the West Sea Realm to no avail. If Xiaoyou is interested in inheriting the old man's unfulfilled wish, opening up the two worlds of the West Sea and the Blue Wilderness, and finding a new realm of cultivating immortals, the old man will also be blinded under the nine springs. What the old man said was just a divine thought. The space is broken, the purple qi is dispersed, and the old man's divine thoughts will be completely dispelled. ”
"Please, if you really fulfill the old man's last wish, the old man will thank the little friend on behalf of the world. If you can't, you can also inherit the exercises practiced by the old man. Remember, remember, this teleportation array must never be exposed. ”
The purple mist slowly faded, and there was still the stone gate in front of him, and Zhang Ran fell to the ground. Divine thoughts leave a voice, only the great supernatural can do it.
The world of cultivating immortals is high and high, and there are still people like Xiaoyaozi who have such broad ambitions. Xiaoyaozi's words brought Zhang Ran not only a shock that he had never heard of, but also a great joy that the follow-up exercises had been settled, and it was also a heavy responsibility and mission.
Soon, Zhang Ran recovered. Do you really have so much power to put the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm on your shoulders, he shook his head with a wry smile, he can really be delusional.
There was a loud "boom", and the stone door opened. Zhang Ran sat cross-legged on the ground, thousands of fast-tasting spirit stones were scattered on the ground, and a little spiritual explosion trick was realized, and a storm of spiritual energy surrounded Zhang Ran. The Ice Melting Flame Recipe was running at a high speed, and a large amount of aura was transformed into true yuan. The long-drought dantian finally ushered in the rain and dew, and the shriveled pool finally had a little watery color. I wanted to take out the high-grade spirit stone to recover, but I didn't want to think about it. It is wasted here, and it can only be used at the critical moment when the realm is broken.
"Whoa", another pile of medium-grade spirit stones was exploded, and the true yuan in the dantian recovered most of it, Zhang Ran was still not very relieved, it was so dangerous, it was better to be careful. After consuming nearly 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones, Zhang Ran's true yuan completely returned to normal.
Zhang Ran felt very strange, Zhenyuan not only recovered as before, but even condensed the essence more than before.
The stone door opened, and Zhang Ran used his divine sense to probe in, but there was no movement. Zhang Ran stepped in, and just after taking a few steps, there was a loud "bang", and the stone door was closed. Zhang Ran's heart was cold for a while, what is this Xiaoyaozi doing, will there be any space arranged.
Zhang Ran turned around, put Zhenyuan in his palm, pressed it to the stone door, and prepared for Zhenyuan to be sucked wildly. The scene that was hoped for did not reappear, and Shimen no longer absorbed the true element. There is no turning back, that can only go forward.
