295. The Villain Elder in the Cultivation World (11) (1/2)
The mortal world has been very lively recently, because it is rare for the mortal world to come out of a secret realm in a thousand years, but it actually happened once this year.
Monks from all over the country, whether they were in retreat or preparing to enter the realm, all rushed here. The destination: Yecheng, Tongzhou, on the edge of the sea.
The people of Yecheng were urgently notified by the government to leave this place. Although the secret realm has not appeared in the mortal world for thousands of years, there have always been records. Secret realms like this were generally created when the mortal world and the cultivation world were not divided into two. Those left behind before falling or ascending can be discovered and cultivators enter, triggering the restriction inside. Five days after the cultivators enter, no matter whether these cultivators have gained any benefit from it, everyone will be excluded and sealed again.
The subsequent opening time will be fixed, which may be once every few decades, or it may be hundreds or thousands of years. Often, the royal family will not intervene in such a secret realm. At most, they will allow cultivators from the royal family to enter together with other cultivators. After that, Record it and wait until the next time it is opened before sending someone in.
The local people will ask the royal family to notify them to leave, so as to avoid causing trouble if there are too many cultivators and ordinary people who are unable to resist will be accidentally injured.
Of course, there will still be due compensation.
Therefore, when the cultivators arrived, they were faced with an empty city.
The older cultivators with information channels were not surprised. The other cultivators who didn't understand why didn't understand, but didn't say anything.
There is still a difference between the mortal world and the world of cultivation. In the mortal world, most practitioners are not very advanced. Most cultivators still have their own power and family. The few casual cultivators are almost equal to none. After all, in the mortal world, a person Those who practice in the foundation building stage can start from scratch and become a big family.
And there are no sects in the world of cultivation in the mortal world, replaced by families.
Because there are few resources, most of the practitioners know each other and have some contacts from time to time.
Everyone looked around and saw a lot of familiar faces, and they gathered together in twos and threes to talk.
"I don't know if this is a big secret realm or a small secret realm."
"It must be a small secret realm. I just met Prince Cheng. Among the secret realms recorded by the royal family, there has never been a big secret realm for tens of thousands of years."
"A small secret realm is a small secret realm. It's better than nothing. I also met Prince Cheng. Judging from his meaning, he should be about to form a pill and go to the upper realm."
Having said this, the faces of those who were talking couldn't help but look a little more envious: "I don't know when I will be able to practice to the golden elixir stage."
Although I would rather be a phoenix than a phoenix, once I embark on spiritual practice, as long as I can see the way forward, I am reluctant to stop.
Those who stopped, like the head of the Gu family who didn't come at all, were just the helpless choice of having to reach the foundation building stage because of the sky.
Because they talked about the upper world, several cultivators who were usually the most powerful ones in the human world looked lonely.
Their spiritual roots are not considered good. After all, if they were good, they would have been chosen when the upper world came to choose disciples. The cultivation they have today is all due to their unwillingness to give up and their hard work day after day. , although I don’t regret taking this path, but speaking of it, I can’t help but feel a little regretful.
"I heard that the eldest prince of the royal family has gone to Chengxiao Sect. That is a big sect. I am afraid that the royal family will rise again."
"Get up when you get up. It's just that I have met the eldest prince once. Perhaps because he is not a direct descendant, his character is a bit..." The speaker was an old man. When he said this, the expression on his face paused strangely, "No. Let’s not talk anymore, today is the third day, the day we agreed to enter the secret realm together, we should prepare early.”
The other people didn't ask in detail. Whether the eldest prince was good or bad had nothing to do with them.
When the sun was right, all the cultivators were waiting in front of the secret realm. This place was originally a valley, but it was sunken due to the sudden appearance of the secret realm. In the eyes of mortals, the cultivators who looked aloof all had excitement in their eyes. color.
It wasn't until the light flashed at the entrance to the secret realm that the door opened and everyone rushed in.
"Huh??"
"Where's my cultivation level!"
"what happened!"
The crowd came out again in panic, only to find that their cultivation base was still there.
This is actually a secret realm that will cause cultivators to temporarily lose their cultivation.
If they go in, they may encounter danger. If they lose their cultivation, they may lose their lives. If they don't go in, they will lose their chance.
When the cultivators present hesitated again and again, Wei Mingyan and Gu Xingxue had just arrived.
He was still dressed in white. Although he came without a sword this time, he was accompanied by Gu Xingxue, who could tell from a glance that he had not encountered any major hardships. He still attracted everyone's attention.
Without him, these two people are too conspicuous.
After seeing them, the cultivators unconsciously became quiet. It wasn't until Wei Mingyan led people in that someone frowned slightly in confusion.
"who is this?"
"I've never seen him before, and he doesn't look like a junior."
"Mr. Ye, do you sense their cultivation level?"
The man known as Ye Lao looked solemn and shook his head: "The one in black is at the third level of Qi training, and the one in white... I can't feel it."
He can't sense it, which means that his cultivation is higher than Mr. Ye.
Several people looked at each other and were a little shocked. Mr. Ye was the rare cultivator in their lower realm who had reached the golden elixir stage but had not yet left. In other words, the man in white had a cultivation level of at least the golden elixir stage or above?
When did such a big man appear in the mortal world?
People outside had many guesses, but Wei Mingyan and Gu Xingxue were not affected at all. The two walked on this dark road. As they walked, he told them in a faint voice: "In this secret realm, what you find is yours, no need to give it to me."
Gu Xingxue clenched the sword in her hand, "Yes."
"You are very smart."
Wei Mingyan laughed a few times: "This attitude is very good. In the future, as long as I am your master, you must treat me like this."
In the darkness, Gu Xingxue, who was still dressed in men's clothes, paused, "Now neither of us has any cultivation, I can kill you."
"You can try."
Wei Mingyan's voice was full of laughter: "If you can kill me here, I have no objection."
His teasing tone made Gu Xingxue feel very aggrieved. But along the way, the man in front of her did teach her swordsmanship several times in the name of master. It must be said that even without cultivation, her swordsmanship is definitely not as good as Wei Mingyan's.
Gu Xingxue didn't speak again on the way. There was light in front of her, and the secret realm was completely revealed to the two of them.
She and Wei Mingyan kept a distance, and checked separately. Although Gu Xingxue had never been to the secret realm, she was always alert along the way. Sure enough, a few strange beasts would come out every once in a while. After killing these strange beasts, she would find some spiritual herbs around them. She gradually discovered this pattern and began to actively look for strange beasts. Although Gu Xingxue had practiced martial arts since she was a child, she had no experience. At the beginning, the strange beasts were easy to deal with, but later, every time she killed one, she would be exhausted and panting. After walking for less than three hours, she was already covered in blood, some of which were from strange beasts, and naturally some were from Gu Xingxue herself. Wei Mingyan always followed behind slowly, and killed any strange beasts that attacked actively, but did not pick up those spiritual herbs. Gu Xingxue was already exhausted, but in a blink of an eye, she saw the leisurely attitude on the face of the man following behind her, gritted her teeth and continued to move forward with the bloody sword. She could feel that her realm was loosening. Sure enough, compared to cultivating spiritual power, it is more suitable for her to prove her way with the sword.
***
Gu Xingxue gradually found her position in the secret realm, and also honed her swordsmanship little by little in various actual combats. When she saw the strange beast for the first time, she would immediately take a defensive posture while quickly thinking in her mind how to fight it in the simplest way.
During these five days, although Wei Mingyan always followed her, he never helped her, just watched her break through.
On the fifth day, he spoke, "Even without me, you can find your own way here."
Gu Xingxue kept silent. She knew that if Wei Mingyan hadn't been following her all the way, she would never be able to do this without worrying about fighting outside.
The two walked deep into the innermost part. There was no way ahead. What they should do now should be to wait for the five-day deadline to expire, and the secret realm would throw them all out.
Wei Mingyan, who had never shown any interest in the secret realm, now took up his sword and walked step by step to Gu Xingxue, who was covered in blood and leaning against a stone, panting slightly.
Her body stiffened for a moment, and she subconsciously took a defensive posture.
"Xingxue, have you heard of the Qingling Snake?"
Gu Xingxue leaned against the stone and shook her head slightly: "No."
"The Qingling Snake can be regarded as an ancient spiritual creature. The reason why it is called the Qingling Snake is that it likes spiritual stones the most. It usually lives near spiritual stone mines. Once it approaches it, as long as there is a slight movement, it will be attacked immediately."
Gu Xingxue nodded and wrote it down seriously.
Although she still rejected the man in front of her, she had to admit that he did know a lot and taught her a lot along the way. If that thing hadn't happened...
With a mess in her mind, Gu Xingxue forced herself not to think about it anymore and continued to ask: "What will happen after being attacked by the Qingling Snake?"
"The Qingling Snake is very fast. Most cultivators will be attacked before they can react. It has a strong poison in its body. After being attacked, the injured person cannot move within an incense stick. Someone must immediately cut the wound with a knife, and the black blood will flow out. After about a quarter of an hour, it will be considered as a decipherment."
Wei Mingyan finished speaking in a calm voice, and seeing Gu Xingxue's serious eyes, he suddenly said: "You are relying on the Qingling Snake."
"What...Ah!!"
Before she could react, she was suddenly pulled away. The next second after she was pulled away, the giant python that had been quietly disguised as a light yellow stone suddenly spread its body and spit out its tongue to attack quickly.
Even though Wei Mingyan, who pulled her away, dodged in time, he was still bitten on the calf. When he was bitten, his sword was inserted between the seven inches of the giant python.
The next second, the white-clothed immortal who was standing just now fell stiffly and lay on his back on the ground. The place where his calf was bitten was still bleeding black blood.
In less than two seconds, the battle was over.
Gu Xingxue's heart was beating fast. She took out the dagger from her waist with shaking hands, and quickly stepped forward to cut the cloth on the man's leg lying on the ground. After the skin was exposed, she calmed down her breathing for a few times, let her trembling hands calm down, and then gritted her teeth to cut the wound and drain the black blood out.
Unlike her panic, the injured Wei Mingyan still had a calm face, "I can't move now, why don't you kill me."
Gu Xingxue paused with the hand holding the dagger: "A warrior must be upright. Even if I kill, I won't take advantage of others."
What's more...
She lowered her head slightly, her face still cold: "What's more, you are trying to save me."
"That's difficult."
Wei Mingyan sneered, "Do you know how many years it takes to reach the Mahayana stage?"
"No matter how many years it takes, I will wait for that day."
"You have a better character than me." Wei Mingyan said quietly: "It can be seen at a glance that even if you reach the stage of transcending tribulation in the future, you will not give birth to inner demons."
"Xingxue, do you know Xu Ling Sect?"
Gu Xingxue didn't know why: "Didn't you make up the Xu Ling Sect?"
The man lying on the ground raised his lips slightly: "In less than a year, I want the name of Xu Ling Sect to be resounding throughout the world of cultivation."
Gu Xingxue: "Didn't you say you were wanted?"
Having said this, she looked at the mask still on the man's face: "Hidden face?"
"No."
"Now in the entire world of cultivation, our Xu Ling Sect should be the most confident."
"Who told me, we have a spiritual stone mine."
Wei Mingyan denied: "I want to be honest and go back as a traitor to the sect."
The author has something to say: The first ten little angels will give out red envelopes, and another hundred random little angels will give out red envelopes.
Sorry everyone, I'm really stuck. The next chapter will probably be very late. I'll give you a hundred random red envelopes to make up for it.
