Chapter 655: Searching for the Secret Realm of the Sky

He took a deep breath and pressed the beads firmly against the stone door.

Suddenly, the stone door made a loud noise and slowly opened inwards.

A strong energy surged out from the door, and both Luo Yao and Li Qingyun felt a strong suction pulling them towards the door.

They passed through the stone door and came to a spacious space.

They saw a huge stone pool in the center of the space. The stone pool was filled with golden liquid, which was exactly the Tianji Liquid they were looking for.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun were so excited that they immediately walked to the stone pool, carefully took out the "Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Pearl" and put it into the stone pool.

As soon as the beads came into contact with the Tianji Liquid, they emitted a dazzling light, and the entire space seemed to be lit up.

Both Luo Yao and Li Qingyun felt a powerful energy pouring out of the beads and pouring into their bodies.

They knew that this was the "Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Pearl" absorbing the power of Tianji Liquid and restoring its own strength.

They stood aside quietly, guarding the bead until the bead completely absorbed the power of Tianji Liquid and restored its former glory.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun looked at each other and smiled. They knew that they had finally found a way to restore the power of the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pearl".

They put the beads back into their bodies, feeling the powerful power contained in the beads, and their hearts were filled with anticipation and excitement.

They understand that the next road will be more difficult, but with the power of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pearl", they are confident to face all challenges.

However, just as they were about to leave this mysterious space, a sudden violent vibration came, and the entire Tianji Mountain seemed to be shaking.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun immediately became vigilant. They looked around and saw the runes and patterns in the space beginning to glow, as if some power was awakening.

Suddenly, a huge beam of light shot up from the stone pool and shot straight into the sky.

"What's going on?" Li Qingyun asked in surprise.

Luo Yao frowned, feeling a strong sense of crisis welling up in his heart.

"We have to get out of here quickly!" Luo Yao said decisively.

They quickly rushed towards the stone door, but at this moment, the entire space began to collapse, with boulders and gravel falling from all directions.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun struggled to avoid falling rocks while looking for opportunities to escape.

However, just when they were about to be buried by falling rocks, a golden light flashed out from them, forming a huge golden shield.

It is the power of the "Xuanhuang Pearl of Heaven and Earth" that protects them.

They took the opportunity to rush towards the stone door, but the stone door had begun to slowly close.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun tried their best and finally rushed out when the stone door was about to be completely closed.

They escaped from the collapsed space, but when they looked back, they saw that the entire Tianji Mountain had been enveloped by a powerful force, as if it had turned into a huge fireball.

"We almost couldn't get out." Li Qingyun said with lingering fear.

Luo Yao nodded. He looked at Tianji Mountain in the distance, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

"What secrets are hidden in Tianji Mountain? Why are we in such danger?" Luo Yao said to himself.

Li Qingyun also fell into deep thought. They knew that this experience was just an episode on their path of cultivation.

In the future, it is estimated that countless dangers will follow.

After all, this is the coldness and cruelty of the spiritual world.

This is the reality.

If you want to be strong, you always have to pay a certain price.

...

After the Xuanhuang Pearl of Heaven and Earth was restored.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun then walked towards the foot of Tianji Mountain.

I don’t know if it’s because Tianji Mountain was destroyed.

Or it's because there's too much movement here.

On the way down the mountain, Luo Yao always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

"Brother Li, do you feel..."

Before Luo Yao finished speaking, Li Qingyun had already nodded, his brows furrowed and his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

"It does feel like I'm being spied on, but this place is far away from Tianji Mountain. Logically speaking, no one should be chasing me again."

The two quickened their pace, trying to get rid of this uneasy feeling.

But no matter where they go, the feeling of being spied on follows them, as if there is a pair of invisible eyes, always watching silently behind them.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it an unusual smell.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun stopped at the same time and turned to look in the direction of the wind.

I saw a figure slowly walking out of the woods, dressed in black, with a stern face, and a sharp light shining in his eyes.

"You are finally down."

The man in black said coldly, with a hint of ridicule and provocation in his voice.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun looked at each other and saw surprise and vigilance in each other's eyes.

They have never met this person, but the other person seems to know them well.

This made them begin to wonder if there was a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it.

"Who are you? Why are you spying on us here?"

Luo Yao asked in a deep voice, already clenching the weapon in his hand.

The man in black smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you have obtained the Tianji Liquid and restored the power of the Xuanhuang Pearl of Heaven and Earth.

This is a huge threat to me. "

"Threat? We have no grievances against you, why are you threatening us?"

Li Qingyun asked puzzledly.

The man in black shook his head and said, "You may not know that the power of Tianji Liquid and Tiandi Xuanhuang Pearl is a treasure coveted by all the practitioners in Shenmu City."

"If you get them, it means you are standing on the opposite side of countless practitioners."

"And I am just one of them."

When Luo Yao and Li Qingyun heard this, their hearts sank.

They never thought that they would fall into such a dangerous situation because of these two treasures.

But now that things have come to this, they can only face reality and bravely meet the challenge.

"In this case, let's see if you have the ability to rob our treasures!"

Luo Yao shouted, moved his body, and rushed towards the man in black.

The man in black sneered, flashed his body, and disappeared on the spot.

When he appeared again, he had come behind Luo Yao and slapped out with a palm, bringing a strong gust of wind.

Luo Yao was startled, but reacted very quickly, turned his body, and dodged the palm.

However, the man in black did not stop there. He flashed and slapped several palms in succession, forcing Luo Yao to retreat again and again.

Seeing this, Li Qingyun immediately swung his sword forward and fought with the man in black.

The two had exquisite sword skills and agile body movements, and for a while they were evenly matched.

However, as time went on, the man in black seemed to gradually gain the upper hand.

His offensive became more and more fierce, and Luo Yao and Li Qingyun gradually felt a little powerless.

At this moment, Luo Yao suddenly remembered the power of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pearl.

With a thought in his mind, he took out the pearl, and suddenly a powerful energy surged from the pearl and poured into his body.

Luo Yao felt his power surge in an instant, he shouted loudly, flashed, and came in front of the man in black.

He punched out with a strong gust of wind, directly hitting the man in black's vitals.

The man in black was shocked when he saw this, but it was too late to dodge.

He could only try his best and greet it with a palm.

The two palms intersected, making a loud noise.

The man in black felt a powerful force coming, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.

Luo Yao stood in place, his body did not move, but his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The man in black stabilized his body, looking at the Tiandi Xuanhuang Pearl in Luo Yao's hand, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He knew that he could no longer gain the upper hand.

But he did not give up, but smiled coldly: "It seems that you really have some skills, but it is not so easy to keep these two treasures."

After speaking, the man in black turned and left, disappearing into the woods.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun stood in place, looking at the direction where the man in black left, their hearts full of vigilance and uneasiness.

They knew that this was just the beginning, and the road ahead would be more difficult and dangerous.

But they also believed that as long as they worked together, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

As night fell, the stars dotted the dark sky, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching this land.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the direction where the man in black disappeared, their hearts filled with solemnity.

Li Qingyun sighed and said, "Brother Luo, what should we do next?"

Luo Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Although the man in black has retreated, we can foresee that there will be more practitioners in the future to snatch the Tianji Liquid and the Tiandi Xuanhuang Pearl."

"We must improve our strength as soon as possible to cope with the next challenge."

Li Qingyun nodded and said, "Brother Luo is right. We have to find a safe place to practice well."

So, the two decided to leave Tianji Mountain and go to a remote valley to practice.

In the valley, the spiritual energy is rich and the environment is quiet.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun built a simple residence here and began their arduous journey of practice.

They practiced swordsmanship during the day, and at night they used the power of the Tiandi Xuanhuang Pearl to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and improve their cultivation.

As time went on, the strength of both of them improved significantly.

However, just when they thought they could rest easy, an unexpected news came to their ears.

It is said that after the collapse of Tianji Mountain, the power of Tianji Liquid and Tiandi Xuanhuang Pearl leaked, attracting the covetousness of countless practitioners.

Some powerful forces have begun to look for the whereabouts of these two treasures and prepare to rob them.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing the news.

They knew that although they had improved, they were still insignificant in the face of those powerful forces.

However, at this moment, a mysterious person found them.

This mysterious person was wearing a robe, and his face was obscured by the shadow of the brim of his hat, so his true appearance could not be seen clearly.

He held a cane in his hand, but he seemed as light as the wind when he walked, as if he was not bound by any gravity.

He came to the residence of Luo Yao and Li Qingyun, stopped, and coughed lightly.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun came out after hearing the sound, and saw the mysterious man in front of them, and couldn't help but feel alert.

They looked at each other and saw the same doubts and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

The mysterious man smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to steal your treasures."

"On the contrary, I'm here to give you some news."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun looked at each other. Although they were confused, they still asked politely, "Excuse me, what news do you have, senior?"

The mysterious man sighed and said, "The leakage of the power of Tianji Liquid and Tiandi Xuanhuang Pearl has caused a shock to the entire cultivation world."

"I know that you hold these two treasures in your hands, which will surely attract the covetousness of countless practitioners."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun felt nervous when they heard this. They knew that the mysterious man was right.

They have felt the pressure and threats from all sides, but they have never thought of giving up these two treasures.

The mysterious man seemed to see their determination and continued, "I also know that you will not give up these two treasures easily."

"But what I want to tell you is that your current strength is not enough to deal with those powerful forces."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun were silent for a moment, then nodded. They knew that the mysterious man was right.

Although they have improved, they still seem insignificant in the face of those giants in the cultivation world.

Seeing this, the mysterious man smiled slightly and said, "However, I can provide you with an opportunity to greatly improve your strength in a short period of time."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun were delighted when they heard this. They knew that the opportunity mentioned by the mysterious man was crucial to them.

The mysterious man continued, "In the far east of Shenmu City, there is a mysterious place called 'Cangqiong Secret Realm'.

There is endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth there, which can help you quickly improve your cultivation."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun looked at each other, with a firm light in their eyes.

They knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that they could not miss.

The mysterious man seemed to see their determination, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, then I wish you a safe journey and a quick return."

After that, the mysterious man turned and left, disappearing into the night.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun stood in place, looking at the direction where the mysterious man left, their hearts full of gratitude and respect.

They knew that the appearance of this mysterious man was not accidental, and there might be deeper secrets and conspiracies hidden behind it.

However, at this moment, they have no time to delve into these.

They have only one thought in their minds, that is, to find the secret realm of the sky as soon as possible and improve their strength to cope with the upcoming challenges.

The night is as dark as ink. Luo Yao and Li Qingyun stand in the valley, feeling the breeze blowing across their cheeks, their hearts are full of expectations and uneasiness about the future.

The next morning, Luo Yao and Li Qingyun packed their bags and set off on the journey to Shenmu City.

They crossed the vast sea of ​​forests and mountains, and experienced hardships along the way, but their hearts were full of determination and faith.

After several days of trekking, they finally came to the far east of Shenmu City.

This is a barren land with no human habitation, only a barren desert and a few lonely peaks.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun stood on the edge of the desert, looking at the scene in front of them, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
