Chapter 99 You are stronger and I am stronger
"How could this be?" Li Fan was stunned and asked in surprise.
"Didn't you say it was just the cave of the Golden Core cultivator? How come even the Nascent Soul cultivator died?"
Yu Wenxing shook his head: "No one knows the specific situation now. It's just that the entrance to the cave has been temporarily blocked, just for fear that some unsuspecting people will break in and die."
Having said that, Yu Wenxing sighed again: "In the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Island, there are only a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators. Now that one of them has suddenly died, the loss is not small."
"Not to mention the four Jindan and thirteen foundation builders who died together during the two explorations."
"The island is not peaceful now. So many monks have died, and all their positions on the island have become vacant. In order to compete for these fat jobs, various forces have begun to secretly compete."
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has also restarted the investigation into Zheng Xiaoyun. This time, Elder Gongsun of Tianji Hall personally took action. I don't know if we can find out the reason."
"What a troubled time..."
Li Fan saw that Yu Wenxing seemed to be worried for another reason, but since he didn't say anything, Li Fan couldn't ask rashly.
So after a few more pleasantries, they returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island through the teleportation array.
The atmosphere on the island has become much more serious, and the faces of the monks who come and go are no longer as relaxed as before.
After some inquiries, Li Fan found out the reason for Yu Wenxing's sad face.
It turned out that the backer behind Yu Wenxing was the fallen True Lord Gouxuan.
It was precisely because of this relationship that he was able to defeat many competitors and become the guard of Liuli Island.
Now, before my butt is even hot, my backer has fallen first.
No wonder he looked worried.
"The powerful Nascent Soul has fallen, and that cave is really extremely dangerous."
"It seems that Fellow Daoist He's body will not be recovered for a while."
Li Fan originally thought so.
However, a few days later, things seemed to take a turn for the better.
The results of the investigation by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are out.
The golden elixir monk named Zheng Xiaoyun has no problem.
And the reason why he went on this first expedition was because he only had a golden elixir cultivation level and could still escape.
On the second expedition, the great monk Yuanying died.
In fact, it’s because the puppets in Tianyang Zhenren’s cave have a strange characteristic:
When you are weak, you are weak; when you are strong, you are strong.
When Zheng Xiaoyun led the team for the first time, those machine puppets only showed the combat power of the Golden Core stage.
Zheng Xiaoyun's own strength is acceptable, and with five other foundation-building monks attracting firepower, he can barely save his life.
And when Zhenjun Gouxuan led the team, the combat power of those machine puppets all expanded to the Nascent Soul stage.
The Nascent Soul stage of more than a dozen people broke out in an instant, and they were caught off guard.
The second batch of expedition teams were all wiped out in an instant.
Of course, there must be an upper limit to the so-called mechanism puppet's ability to become stronger when strong.
But what is the upper limit of the strength of this mechanism puppet now?
It’s really hard to say.
Although Zhenren Tianyang was only a cultivator of golden elixir during his lifetime, before his death, he set up his cave inside the submarine volcano.
For thousands of years, those machine puppets have been absorbing the energy of the Earth Fire.
Directly causing the active submarine volcano to become an extinct volcano.
And now that the Earth Fire is active again, it probably means that after so many years, the machine puppet has grown to its upper limit.
The ancient mechanism technique has been lost for a long time, and it is unknown how powerful the mechanism puppet that has grown to its limit is.
But come to think of it, in the era before the Great Tribulation when the Nascent Soul was not as good as a dog, the mechanism technique could have a place.
This puppet definitely can't be too weak.
The lowest level is Nascent Soul, and it is not impossible to transform into a god.
so……
True Lord Gouxuan, his death was truly unjust.
After all, no one would have thought that there would be such a terrifying fighting force ambushing this small Jindan monk cave.
As soon as the official announcement from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance came out, the haze that shrouded the Ten Thousand Immortals Island suddenly dissipated.
Everyone is quite convinced by the survey results.
Because Elder Gongsun of Tianji Hall has always been famous for his ability to explore heavenly secrets and determine cause and effect.
The conclusions he made after investigation were basically close to the facts.
As a result, the largest number of Qi Refining monks in Cong Yunhai all became excited.
The dozen or so Nascent Soul Stage machine puppets are truly terrifying.
But a dozen puppets in the Qi refining stage...
It can be said that it has no deterrent effect at all.
If I could bring even one puppet back...
Countless Qi Refining cultivators suddenly had their imaginations racing, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
So everyone clamored to form a team to explore Tianyang Zhenren's cave.
When he heard the news, even Li Fan couldn't help but feel excited.
During the Qi refining period, wasn't he almost invincible?
Those with a lower level than him have insect-binding magical powers and can grab them directly.
He is also in the late stage of Qi refining, and he possesses many methods such as phaseless murderous intention, cloud and water fantasy, blue flame fantasy spirit, etc.
Li Fan didn't believe there was anyone stronger than him in this Congyun Sea.
How about exploring this cave?
Li Fan's heart was moved for a moment, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.
If these machine puppets really only become weak when they are weak and become strong when they are strong.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance officials could secretly summon a group of late-stage Qi Refining monks to break through the cave and move all these puppets back.
How could the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance give up on such a good thing to suddenly have more than a dozen puppets with at least Nascent Soul stage combat power, and instead foolishly make this information public?
The only explanation is that there must be other weird things about the puppets in the cave.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is not sure either.
So I chose to let these numerous Qi Refining monks risk their lives to explore the way.
Li Fan also heard about Elder Gongsun.
When he completed the reward for the strange beast Dragon Whale, Elder Gongsun had investigated it.
They only found out the direct cause of the dragon whale's death: he was besieged by several deep-sea monsters and exhausted his life.
But failed to find the most fundamental cause of death: Li Fan's phaseless murderous intention.
Therefore, Li Fan believes that it is true that Elder Gongsun can indeed investigate the secrets of heaven.
But it can only be like a blind man touching an elephant, he can only get one part, but cannot see all of them.
Li Fan is not the only one who understands this truth.
The initial excitement passed and everyone calmed down in time.
But there are always some monks who are lucky and think that they are destined to be destined.
They banded together and numbered about thirty people.
Three explorations of Tianyang Cave.
Li Fan just put the bounty on He Zhenghao's body back on and waited for the good show.
Ten days later, the expedition returned in disgrace.
Most of the thirty or so people fled back.
In their tearful cries, everyone watching the show also knew what happened in the cave.
There are seventeen puppets in total, they are really too powerful!
The whole body is made of unknown materials and is extremely strong.
No matter what spells are applied, they have no effect at all.
Not even a scratch left.
