Chapter 1578: Secret Realm of Earth Veins
Duan Qing has sorted out most of the things that happened before.
Now, there was only one thing left that he couldn't figure out.
Wang Zilai needed a living sacrifice to restart Yuan Ding, so why not choose someone else instead of risking offending the Soul Searching Sect and using Wu Ji!
This issue still needs to be clarified by him.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing decisively sacrificed the Immortal King Cauldron and injected spiritual power to activate it.
Following Duan Qing's move, a scene similar to the previous one at the Tianzong Main Vein Site immediately reappeared. First, there were phantoms of buildings around him, and then a pillar of light shot out from the bluestone in the center of the building.
With a thought in mind, Duan Qing cautiously used Vermillion Bird Armor to protect his body, and then used Bai Mengxing to hide his body, and then quietly entered the beam of light.
In an instant, the scene changed, and Duan Qing had entered the secret world of earth veins.
After first making sure that no one else was around, Duan Qing took stock of the situation in front of him.
The situation in the Earth Vein Secret Realm is completely opposite to that of the Heaven Vein Secret Realm. There is no majestic mountain. Instead, dozens of miles ahead, there is a huge sinkhole with a scale of more than a hundred miles.
In addition, the Earth Vein Secret World is not like the Tianmai Secret World, which suppresses people all the time. Not only does Duan Qing not feel any abnormality at all, he even has the illusion that the person is so light that he is about to take off on the ground, as if he is blessed by a mysterious force. Similar.
Is it because of this thing?
Duan Qing glanced at the Immortal King Cauldron in his hand, with some surprise in his eyes.
Without any time to think, Duan Qing quickly activated the Immortal King Cauldron to close the entrance to the secret world of earth veins, and then quietly flew towards the huge sinkhole ahead.
Soon, Duan Qing came to the edge of the sinkhole and stretched his head to look down.
I saw that the tiankeng was about tens of thousands of feet deep. Inside the empty tiankeng, there was a huge cauldron of ten thousand feet. The shape of this cauldron is very similar to the Yuan cauldron in the secret world of Tianmai, but the details are slightly different. It must be correct. It is another Yuan Ding from the Tianding Sect.
Different from the Yuan Ding in the Tianmai Secret Realm, this tripod is not placed upside down, but is placed upright with the mouth of the tripod facing up.
At this time, one person and one cauldron were suspended directly above the mouth of the Earth Vein Yuan Cauldron.
The cauldron was about one foot in size, with the mouth of the cauldron facing downwards. It shot a beam of light towards the interior of the Yuan cauldron directly below, slightly illuminating the interior of the Yuan cauldron.
The person parked next to the tripod looked a little short from the back, which gave Duan Qing a sense of familiarity, but he was far away and Duan Qing couldn't tell who it was.
While Duan Qing was secretly observing all this, the short figure above Yuanding suddenly looked back and looked at where Duan Qing was.
"Since you're here, why not show up and see me."
Duan Qing couldn't help being shocked when he heard the voice and saw the man's face.
How could it be this person!
This person...is none other than the baby-faced boy Duan Qing had rescued in the Thunder Vein Secret World, Yu Songsong.
Duan Qing suppressed the surprise in his heart, removed Bai Mengxing and Suzaku Armor, jumped up, and flew towards Yu Songsong in the sinkhole.
Seeing Duan Qing flying directly over, Yu Songsong's eyes clearly flashed with surprise, but he quickly covered it up.
Staring at Duan Qing who was parked dozens of feet away, Yu Songsong sighed a little: "I really didn't expect that you were the first one to come."
Although his voice sounds childish, there is a sense of vicissitudes and sophistication that cannot be concealed in his tone.
Duan Qing glanced at the giant cauldron next to Yu Songsong and asked tentatively: "Why, Fellow Daoist Yu is waiting for someone else?"
Yu Songsong smiled calmly: "Haha, that's not really true. I just feel that if I'm going to come, the soul-searching sect's surnamed Shen should come first."
"Who are you?" Duan Qing asked with a frown.
Yu Songsong pointed to his nose: "Me? Fellow Daoist Duan doesn't you know very well? I am Yu Songsong."
Duan Qing looked around and asked again: "Where is Fellow Daoist Gu, where is he now?"
"Don't worry, I, Yu Songsong, am not one of those inhumane Earth Sect remnants who can attack one of my own. She is safe now."
While speaking, Yu Songsong glanced at the spirit beast ring on his wrist, and the meaning was obvious.
Duan Qing frowned even more as he stared at the innocent Yu Songsong in front of him.
Previously in the Thunder Vein Secret Realm, I didn't notice this person's flaws at all!
After a moment of silence, Duan Qing directly asked the question he was most concerned about.
"The soul-searching sect's shaman is my fellow Taoist, but is it in your hands?"
"Not bad." Yu Songsong nodded and admitted simply.
"Do you want to use him as a living sacrifice to cooperate with Sect Leader Wang to restart the Yuan Cauldron?" Duan Qing asked.
Yu Songsong looked at Duan Qing in surprise: "Do you know a lot?"
"Why do you have to have fellow Taoist witches?" Duan Qing was very curious.
Yu Songsong chuckled: "Haha, I thought you knew a lot, but it seems you only have a partial understanding."
After saying that, Yu Songsong glanced at the big cauldron that was emitting a beam of light next to him.
"It doesn't matter, it still takes some time anyway. It doesn't hurt to talk to you and make you understand."
"Since you know that opening the Yuanding requires a living sacrifice, do you know what the living sacrifice is used for?"
Duan Qing shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Yu Songsong pointed to a black hole about a thousand feet in size in the Yuan Ding below: "Everything in the world has a price. To open the Yuan Ding, you need to pay the price of Yuan Jing. To maintain the Yuan Ding's continuous operation, there is also a price."
"Before the Tianshang Tribulation, all of this was maintained by Yuan Ding drawing energy from the Nine Yuan Heaven Realm. After that, we need to take the initiative to provide it."
"Maintaining the continuous operation of the Yuan Ding consumes a lot of vitality and cannot be messed up. At least it requires the support of a powerful true spirit."
"The stronger the vitality, the longer the Yuan Ding can operate and provide more Yuan Jing."
"The cultivation of the Soul Search Sect kid is a little bit worse, but his vitality is so strong that it is rare in the Immortal Spirit Alliance. Do you think there is anyone more suitable to be a sacrifice than this person?"
Duan Qing suddenly realized.
So that's it.
Wu Ji is the same as Yu Wen Gu Dao, both are immortal, and unlike Yu Wen Gu Dao, he does not use the Tianji technique to reverse time and revive, but relies purely on his body. His vitality is indeed extremely strong!
No wonder Wang Zilai chose Wu Ji as a sacrifice!
Oh, that's right!
At this time, Duan Qing suddenly thought of something, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
