Chapter 2118 Insight
The green dot was flashing in the middle of the medicine field.
Looking around, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Zhou Shu stared at the ground, seemingly thoughtful, and Jian Lao also spoke, "dig down."
The talisman comes with the law of life and death, and gray mist can penetrate a certain distance, so it is not difficult to penetrate the soil underground.
Start digging.
There is a layer of black scum on the ground, hard but sticky, and indescribably weird. It is formed by the accumulation of dead air. When you dig it up, black air will emerge, like erupting oil. The middle man feels like vomiting.
Zhou Shu resisted the strange smell and kept digging.
Fortunately, the smell becomes lighter as it goes down, and the color gradually becomes lighter.
After digging for about five or six feet, a hint of green finally appeared in the black soil, which stood out here, like emerald in the soil.
A scent of fragrance spread out, driving away all the disgusting smells.
A ray of light emitted from the Xuanyuan Sword, surrounding the green mass. "Don't let the gray mist pollute it. This is a good thing. Put it away quickly."
Zhou Shu took a few cursory glances and immediately took it into his body.
"Is this fairy grass?"
"It should be said that it is a fairy root. It has no sprouts, just a rhizome."
"what is it call?"
"I don't know, but in such a place full of death, suppressed by the gray fog and death air outside, you can still survive stubbornly, maybe even for many years. It is definitely not an ordinary fairy. If you take it back and plant it, you may not be able to use it. How long will it take for it to break through and sprout?”
"good idea."
Zhou Shu couldn't hide his joy as he gained something just after entering the ninth floor, and might even get immortal materials.
After bypassing the medicine field and walking for a while, there was a dilapidated building ahead. Looking at it, it gave people the feeling of a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
It should be the alchemy room at Xingshan Gate.
Most of the buildings have collapsed. Among the ruins, there are many old and broken large alchemy furnaces. There are almost hundreds of them. A sect that can easily build hundreds of large alchemy furnaces can be said to be extraordinary. It is better than Zhou Shu's He The Yin Sect is much stronger, and only Kunlun in the Xuanhuang Realm can compare with it. However, such a large sect will inevitably weaken and become desolate until it is annihilated.
Walking in the alchemy furnace, Zhou Shu tried his best to let go of his consciousness. Although it was only a few feet away, he wanted to see it more clearly.
The runes on the alchemy furnace and the relics in the room are all worth searching, and maybe you can find a few remaining alchemy recipes.
After searching around, it turned out that it was just a fantasy. There was thick black soil everywhere, and the dead energy had penetrated deep into the ground. Nothing could be left behind. Moreover, it could be seen that there were many new traces in this area, all left by the loose immortals. Even if there is anything, someone else will get there first.
Continuing inward, after a short walk, a tall tower appears in front of you.
When you look up, you can't see the top at all. The ruins underneath are dozens of feet high, piled up into a hill. There are broken bricks and rocks everywhere, and there is almost no footing.
Zhou Shufei went over and looked around a few times, but when he came back he just shook his head.
"What a tall tower. It's at least four hundred feet tall, and it's only half the height. The upper part has completely collapsed, and you can't tell how high it was. The tower is full of formation talismans. There are countless large and small ones. It's a pity. None of it works, nothing can be seen.”
Zhou Shu was secretly stunned. The cost of building this tower was probably worth half of the Heyin Sect.
After walking a few miles, there was another tall tower ahead, similar to the previous one, only more dilapidated.
The tower was densely covered with holes, as if they had rolled over from the nail board.
Zhou Shu still turned around a few times, but when he came back he was still shaking his head, with a relatively complete formation talisman in his hand.
Among the tens of millions of formation symbols, only this one can still be seen.
Light yellow, like gold or jade, but neither gold nor jade, it makes a bang bang sound when knocked on it. It is only three inches in size, but has nearly ten thousand talisman patterns, which are outlined and drawn, but have no connection with each other. They are exquisite and unusual. Zhou Shuyuan couldn't reach the formation path, but after taking a closer look, he felt like he was addicted to it.
If we can really understand the secrets, we will definitely be able to advance further in the formation path.
"Go back and study it slowly."
Zhou Shu suppressed his curiosity, put away the formation talisman, and continued to move forward.
Surprises continued one after another, and a total of nine similar towers were discovered.
Nine towers formed a ring shape. The tower in the middle was the tallest and the most damaged. Only a large piece of rubble was left. Even the original appearance of the masonry could not be seen. It was broken into slag and piled up. It's like a hill.
From the remnants, which are hundreds of feet high and nearly ten miles high, we can see how majestic and spectacular the original tower was.
Compared with the central tower, the other towers may just be a few pillars.
Jian Lao seemed to be thinking, "It should be the ancestral protection formation of Xingshan Gate."
Zhou Shu also felt the same way, but he was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
Just a branch of Xingshan Gate has such a scale. What about the real Xingshan Gate and other vast immortal gates?
My heart surges when I think about it. As an immortal, what kind of achievement would it be if we could establish such an immortal sect?
Zhou Shu secretly made a wish.
After standing quietly for a while, Zhou Shu continued to move forward.
This experience seems to be fruitless, but in fact it is not. It has increased knowledge and broadened horizons, which is very important to the development of Shu Zhidao and Zhou Shu.
There were shadows ahead, rising and falling, like a hundred ghosts walking at night. When I got closer, I saw that there were many small hills of different sizes. They were probably the residences of Xingshan disciples. They were also dilapidated and covered with a layer of Several feet thick of black and gray, making it difficult to distinguish the original appearance.
Obviously, the formation here has also been destroyed.
Zhou Shu just walked in a few steps and stood still, staring ahead with a solemn look on his face.
On the talisman, a black spot swayed leisurely. The color was extremely dark, darker than the one-eyed rotten corpse I encountered before.
Jian Lao said in a deep voice, "You're a dead creature at the level of a true immortal, so hurry up."
Zhou Shu shook his head gently, "It's too late."
A few hundred feet away, a figure appeared on the hillock. Although not tall, it looked particularly clear in the gray mist. It was a rotten corpse that looked like a cultivator.
"So fast?"
Jian Lao was shocked. They discovered this dead thing as soon as it appeared on the talisman. As soon as they said a word, the rotten corpse came from the edge of the talisman to the front. Whether it was perception or speed, this rotten corpse even surpassed them. many.
Possibly the strongest person you will encounter when entering the ghost realm.
The rotting corpse was completely black, with no luster visible, but a pair of eyes flashed with faint light from time to time, as if watching them.
Zhou Shu held the traceless sword tightly and stood ready.
The rotten corpse suddenly jumped up, and in just a blink of an eye, it landed in front of Zhou Shu from a distance of hundreds of feet.
Both palms were pushed out flatly, and a mighty force came straight towards Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu was already on guard, with the Dao Tower raised and the Traceless Sword blocking his chest.
Snapped!
Although the Traceless Sword withstood most of the power, Zhou Shu's Dao Tower still shattered into pieces. Before it could gather again, it was shattered by the remaining power of the rotting corpse. The remaining power surged to his chest, like The sharp blade penetrated into the heart, and Zhou Shu's heart jolted, feeling like he was on the verge of despair.
Zhou Shu retreated quickly and used the power-refining technique to neutralize it. It wasn't until he retreated several hundred feet away that the terrifying power was completely offset.
