Chapter 193 Secret Realm Advancement
That day, at the top of Wanluo Peak, in front of the ancient trenches crisscrossing in the center, nearly a hundred young and middle-aged monks gathered.
Most of the monks came from various forces in Wanluo Immortal Mountain. Most of them were at the ninth level of Qi Refining or the perfect Qi Refining realm, and only a few were below the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"Why is he here?" Mo Rujun saw Xia Daoming and a tall and burly woman appear on the top of the peak, and his face changed slightly.
"Rujun, what's wrong?" A woman in her thirties at the ninth level of Qi Refining asked.
"Who is that woman?" Mo Rujun asked instead of answering, pointing at Lu Ziying.
The woman looked up at Lu Ziying, her face showing a thoughtful look.
"With such a tall and burly figure, that woman should be Lu Ziying, the latest rising monk of the Lu family in Jingui Peak in the north." Before the woman answered, a man next to her, who was also about thirty years old but had already reached the perfect Qi Refining realm, raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth and said.
"Jinguifeng Lu Family? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it a Qi-refining family?" Mo Rujun said with contempt.
She has been practicing in Qingyuan Sect for many years, and only pays attention to some foundation-building forces in Wanluo Xianshan, and rarely hears about and pays attention to Qi-refining forces.
"More than three years ago, it was still a Qi-refining family. Later, the head of the family, Lu Jinglong, broke through and became a foundation-building cultivator, and then joined the foundation-building forces." The man explained.
"It turned out to be a newly rising foundation-building force. No wonder I haven't heard much about it. By the way, how strong is it?" Mo Rujun asked.
"It has only been more than three years since he rose to power, and Lu Jinglong is already over a hundred years old. The initial stage of foundation building should be his limit, and his strength ranks at the bottom among the foundation building forces in the north.
It is said that in the past year, the Lingdao Sect and the Xie family have suppressed the Lu family in many ways to prevent the Lu family from rising. Given the situation of the Lu family, if no new foundation building cultivators are born, it is estimated that they will be beaten back to their original form in a few years.
But how can foundation building cultivators be born easily? With the foundation of the Lu family, it is already a great luck to have a foundation building cultivator. It is difficult to have another one!" The man said the latter, shaking his head repeatedly.
"There are many Qi refining families in Wanluo Xianshan. Every few years, there are always families that have joined the foundation building forces, but many of them are short-lived, and the Lu family is no exception." The woman took over the conversation.
"I see, no wonder the Lu family invited him to help. With the foundation of the Lu family, it must be that they really can't find a suitable disciple." Mo Rujun said with a look of relief.
"Could it be that the man next to Lu Ziying is the one who rejected my Mo family's 20% chance proposal?" The man's face changed slightly, and he looked at Xia Daoming with a cold look.
"That's right." Mo Rujun nodded.
"Humph, the road of martial arts has come to an end. In the way of Qi Refining, he has only reached the seventh level of Qi Refining at such an old age, which is basically the end. The Mo family gave him a chance, which shows that they think highly of him. Where does he get the confidence and courage to put on airs in front of our Mo family?" The man saw Mo Rujun nod, and his face turned completely cold.
The man's name is Mo Shouzhe, the grandson of Mo Bowen, the head of the Mo family. He has an outstanding talent for cultivating immortals. He has cultivated to the perfect state of Qi Refining at the age of 28. He is the most promising child of the Mo family to build a foundation.
This person is extremely talented, and his cultivation is also the best among the younger generation of Wanluo Xianshan. He has always been very self-reliant and has a proud personality.
A few days ago, he was very upset when he heard Mo Rujun mention Xia Daoming. He wanted to scold him in person, but Xia Daoming had already left, so he had to give up.
"Seventh brother is right. You don't know that this person was so arrogant that day. If it weren't for the fact that he was also a disciple of Qingyuan Sect, my grandfather would have suppressed him at that time." Mo Rujun said.
"Isn't he just an outer sect disciple? My great-aunt is also the elder of the outer sect Lingtian Hall!" Mo Shouzhe smiled coldly and walked towards Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying.
Mo Rujun saw this and showed a trace of gloating, and hurriedly followed.
There were also two other Mo family members who looked at each other and followed.
The two Mo family members, one was the woman Mo Rujun had just questioned, 33 years old, and in the ninth level of Qi Refining.
The other was a man, 38 years old, also in the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"You are Xia Daoming, right? I thought you were very proud, so you refused to help my Mo family, but you ran to the Lu family with your eyes wide open. I wonder how many opportunities the Lu family gave you?" Mo Shouzhe walked up to Xia Daoming and said with a sarcasm on his face.
When Lu Ziying saw Mo Shouzhe suddenly come to provoke and ridicule his uncle, his face changed on the spot, and he was ready to step forward to scold and argue, but was stopped by Xia Daoming.
Seeing Xia Daoming reach out to stop Lu Ziying, Mo Shouzhe thought he was scared, and showed a trace of smug disdain on his face.
Xia Daoming was not angry when he saw this, but just looked at Mo Shouzhe calmly and said lightly: "Who are you? Do I know you?"
"I am Mo Shouzhe, the grandson of the Mo family!" Mo Shouzhe was slightly startled, and then said proudly.
"So what? Am I familiar with you?" Xia Daoming glanced at him and asked.
Mo Shouzhe was startled again.
"Of course not, how could you possibly be familiar with my seventh brother!" Mo Rujun took over the conversation.
"If you are not familiar, then don't try to get close to me! Except for Elder Mo, I don't want to know anyone else in your Mo family." Xia Daoming's face suddenly darkened.
"You are so presumptuous!" Mo Shouzhe suddenly woke up, his face showing anger, and his internal energy and magic power surged.
"Why, I don't want to know you, but you want to fight me out of shame and anger, then fine, just use your moves!" Xia Daoming looked at Mo Shouzhe and said lightly.
Mo Shouzhe was so angry that his face turned blue.
Mo Rujun was the same.
But neither of them dared to take action.
Xia Daoming is a great master of martial arts. Unless the four of them come together, they can win steadily.
But the secret realm is about to open, and they must remain at their peak.
"If you don't dare to take action, then get out!" Seeing this, Xia Daoming's face darkened again and he scolded.
"Okay, okay, when we get out of the secret realm, I have to make you look good!" Mo Shouguan said angrily, and finally left with Mo Rujun and others.
Watching Mo Shouguan and others leave, Xia Daoming secretly shook his head.
He couldn't understand why Elder Mo was such a sensible old man, but all the children of the Mo family were not only short-sighted, but also had eyes on their foreheads.
The sun is gradually setting in the west.
The setting sun shines on the top of the mountain.
The huge ravine formation actually started to ripple.
A huge door with glowing light appeared above the ravine pattern.
The crowd roared and took out tokens one after another.
The mountain engraved on the token seemed to have come true at this time. The clouds and mist surrounding the mountain peak slowly flowed, and green colors were reflected from the clouds and mist.
"The Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Snails is opened!"
"The secret realm is opened 1"
People reacted when they saw the token, and everyone looked excited.
Soon, people were holding tokens in their hands and rushing up to the huge door that shone with the glow of the sun.
People disappeared into the giant door one after another.
"Let's go too!"
Upon seeing this, Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying also rushed towards the giant door.
After a burst of distorted light and the sky spinning, Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying found themselves standing on a vast flat land.
This flat land is also the top of a high mountain, which makes people think of Wanluo Peak.
But there are no other mountain peaks around. It's so yellow and misty that you can't see anything, not even a cloud.
The surroundings were so quiet and empty that it was disconcerting, there was no wind.
Nearly a hundred people emerged from the void one after another and landed on the top of this vast mountain.
"Spiritual stones! There are a bunch of spiritual stones there!"
"It's there too!"
Suddenly a sound broke the silence.
I saw clusters of bright lights flashing on the empty flat ground not far from where the people were staying, which turned out to be piles of spiritual stones.
There are piles of five or six yuan, and there are piles of more than ten yuan, scattered in different places.
The quantity was not large, but it was scattered on the ground like this, and it seemed that you could pick it up just by bending down, which instantly made the Qi Refining monks in the secret realm red-eyed.
Soon, the sound of clothes hunting sounded.
There are dozens of figures flying towards the spirit stone in almost no particular order.
There were several people who took a fancy to a bunch of spiritual stones at the same time, and there were also some who took a fancy to a bunch of them alone.
Lu Ziying also wanted to rush forward.
Of course you have to pick up the spiritual stones you picked up for free.
But Xia Daoming held her back.
"It's just a few spiritual stones. If there's anything worth grabbing, let's check the situation first."
Nearly half of the people had the same idea as Xia Daoming, including four members of the Mo family.
When everyone flew close to the spiritual stone pile, the ground around the spiritual stone pile suddenly rippled like water, and spiders as big as basins crawled out from below.
These spiders' eight claws run like lightning, are as sharp as knives, and can also spray green light. Their strength is comparable to that of a seventh-level Qi refining monk.
Not only that, the more people rush to grab the spirit stones, the more spiders will appear next to the pile of spirit stones.
"The more people there are, the more spiders there are. Obviously, trying to seize opportunities with the strength of people will not work. You must rely on true strength." Xia Daoming looked at not far away, where the monks and spiders were fighting, touching He held his chin thoughtfully.
"It seems that Elder Mo's guess is very reasonable. This Ten Thousand Snail Secret Realm is most likely a trial place left by a certain sect in ancient times. Only those with strong strength can seize the opportunity. The starting stage should be the seventh level of Qi Refining. "
Thinking in his mind, Xia Daoming raised his eyes and looked beyond the area where the monks and spiders were fighting, to the plain land further away.
"That, that is the Flame Heart Stone!"
Those who stopped and did not take action seemed to have similar thoughts to Xia Daoming, and they also raised their eyes and looked further away.
Their eyes were sharp and they soon discovered something even more valuable.
This time, they could no longer hold back their inner desires and rushed forward one after another.
The Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Snails is only opened once every sixty years, and each time is limited to two hours.
When the time comes, you will be teleported back to the top of Wanluo Peak.
Therefore, the opportunity is fleeting and cannot be delayed any longer.
Seeing this, Lu Ziying did not rush forward this time. Instead, she turned to look at Xia Daoming, her eyes full of expectation.
However, Xia Daoming was unmoved. He wanted to further confirm his speculation before making a decision.
"Don't worry, let's take another look." Xia Daoming said, looking further away.
Every opportunity there has defenders popping up around it.
This time, not only spiders appeared, but also giant fire ants, centipedes, scorpions and other monsters with different strengths.
Among them, the giant scorpion is the most powerful, comparable to Qi Refining Perfection.
The giant scorpion also has the greatest chance of protection.
Mo Shouguan focused on a popular stone.
The wind stone can give the magic weapon the attribute of wind and speed it up. A fist-sized wind stone can be sold for at least a hundred spiritual stones.
The popular stone that Mo Shouguan found was almost as big as a fist.
It's a pity that there were three giant scorpions guarding the Fengxing Stone. With Mo Shouguan's strength, he couldn't break through their defenses and seize the Fengxing Stone, which made Mo Shouguan turn livid with anger.
But in the end, I can only retreat and seize the time to look for other opportunities that are easy to seize.
Many people also found the Wind Stone, but when they saw the three giant scorpions, they had no choice but to give up.
One Qi Refining Perfection cultivator was unwilling to give up, so he found another Qi Refining Perfection cultivator to cooperate. As a result, the ground rippled like water, and three giant scorpions appeared again, which made them so angry that they had no choice but to give up.
"This trial site seems to be only for Qi Refining Realm cultivators. No wonder they are so stingy, just scattering some objects worth a few, dozens, or at most one or two hundred spirit stones!
However, the sect that built this trial site is really powerful. It can actually transform so many monsters with the power of the secret realm formation, and it can also make intelligent changes according to the situation.
It's a pity that I didn't bring Lian'er here, otherwise she might be able to comprehend something from it." Xia Daoming thought to himself and decided to take action.
With his strength, as long as he finds the objects in this place, it is basically no different from picking them up.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
In two hours, if you look carefully, you can put together a plate.
"Let's go, keep your eyes open, if you find it, you'll make a profit!" Xia Daoming said.
"Yes, uncle!" Lu Ziying was excited.
After that, Lu Ziying looked around.
Nearly a hundred people came in, and now most of them have become small black dots, and some people have disappeared.
The secret realm is very large.
Opportunities are scattered everywhere.
There are only two hours left for everyone.
Time is limited, so when these people encounter powerful guardian monsters, they basically adopt a strategy of giving up and looking for opportunities that are easier to obtain.
"The trial land has now become a place of plunder, forgetting the original intention!" Xia Daoming saw that in a flash, the people who came in together left some relatively valuable opportunities and ran to farther places to find opportunities. While complaining, he walked towards the wind stone.
Three giant scorpions appeared.
"Uncle, be careful!" Lu Ziying had just seen the power of the three giant scorpions, and subconsciously blurted out.
As a result, before she finished her words, she saw a glimmer of light on Xia Daoming's wind-chasing shoes, and then a trace of afterimage was left on the spot, and his men had already rushed to the three giant scorpions.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three punches were thrown out like lightning.
The three giant scorpions exploded on the spot, rolling up gusts of wind, and then turned into streams of light and disappeared.
Lu Ziying's eyes were dull, and the back was cold.
She knew that Xia Daoming was powerful, but she never dreamed that he was so powerful that killing Qi-refining Perfection was as easy as chopping vegetables!
"Not bad, it's quite refreshing!"
Since Xia Daoming cultivated to the Grandmaster Perfection realm, this was the first time that he had exploded his martial arts power, and he did it without any scruples, which was quite pleasurable.
While speaking, Xia Daoming had already picked up the Wind-walking Stone.
Seeing Xia Daoming pick up the Wind Stone, Lu Ziying suddenly shuddered, her eyes sparkling, as if she had seen a mountain of shining spiritual stones.
At this moment, she truly understood what it meant to find and earn!
Lu Ziying couldn't imagine earning hundreds of spiritual stones in just a blink of an eye.
"We walk side by side, you are responsible for searching the left, I'm responsible for... eh..." Xia Daoming put the Wind Stone into the storage ring while instructing Lu Ziying, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something and hurriedly took out the Wanluo token.
On the token, the clouds and mist that originally lingered around the mountain peaks actually dissipated a lot, and the mountain peaks looked much clearer.
"Show me your token." Xia Daoming said to Lu Ziying with a move in his heart.
Although Lu Ziying was confused, he immediately took it out and presented it with both hands.
Xia Daoming took the token and found that Lu Ziying's token was still the same as when he came in.
"Strange, why did my token change? Could it be related to my killing of the three giant scorpions?" Xia Daoming looked thoughtful.
"Uncle, look, there is a light over there." At this moment, Lu Ziying pointed to the left front and said with surprise.
Xia Daoming looked up in the direction of Lu Ziying's finger, and indeed saw a very faint light.
There were several figures leaving quickly beside the light.
Xia Daoming's heart moved, and he grabbed Lu Ziying's hand, and he flew towards the light like a ghost.
"Purple ice crystal!" Xia Daoming's eyes lit up slightly. This is a kind of ore that can be used to refine high-level water magic tools, and it is very expensive.
The small pile of broken purple ice crystals they found is worth at least 150 spirit stones.
However, there are ten iron-backed centipedes with a length of more than ten feet surrounding and guarding.
Xia Daoming glanced at the place where the figures disappeared just now, and a trace of relief appeared on his face.
This time, Xia Daoming took out the Black Tiger Knife that the Pavilion Master of Baiqi Pavilion had personally made.
The knife was three feet long and half a foot wide, with a thick back and a sharp blade.
The knife came out.
The knife light passed through the void, like a shocking black lightning.
"Swish!"
A slight sound of a knife cutting through paper was heard.
The iron-backed centipede, which was comparable to the ninth level of Qi Refining, did not even have a chance to resist, and was cut into two pieces flatly.
A shocking black lightning passed through the void.
The ten iron-backed centipedes were quickly cut into two pieces, and then turned into streams of light and disappeared.
This time, Lu Ziying had begun to adapt a little. Without waiting for Xia Daoming to speak, he had stepped forward to help pick up the purple ice crystals.
And this time, Xia Daoming did not even look at the purple ice crystals on the ground, but took out the token as soon as possible.
The clouds and mists lingering around the mountain peaks became lighter again.
"It's faded a little. It seems to have something to do with the guardian monster that I transformed from killing the secret formation. But what does this mean?" Xia Daoming rubbed his chin and thought.
"Uncle, purple ice crystal!" Lu Ziying offered the purple ice crystal with both hands.
Xia Daoming looked at the purple ice crystal presented by Lu Ziying, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his heart.
"For Lu Ziying and the others, this secret realm is a place to find opportunities, but for those monks in ancient times, it is a place of trial. The purple ice crystal is just some material rewards incidentally.
Since it is a trial, there must be standards for judging results, and there must be promotions if a certain score is achieved! This is a training ground for Qi refining level. If you advance, will it be like clearing a game and entering the next training ground? "
Xia Daoming's heart beat faster when he thought of this.
What will happen in the trial field after promotion?
"Ziying, if I suddenly disappear later, don't panic. Just continue to look for opportunities, but pay attention to safety." After having this guess, Xia Daoming motioned to Lu Ziying to put away the purple ice crystal and warned her in advance. road.
"Uncle Master suddenly disappeared?" Lu Ziying looked confused.
"Not necessarily, but it's possible. Anyway, you just have to know it in advance." Xia Daoming said.
"Yes, uncle." Although Lu Ziying was still confused, she still nodded.
Time passed by in the blink of an eye.
Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying harvested items worth at least two thousand spiritual stones within the time they spent burning incense.
Lu Ziying was very excited.
It's too quick and easy to get the spirit stone, it's almost like picking it up.
Just when Lu Ziying was excited about harvesting another popular stone, she turned around and found that Xia Daoming was missing.
Lu Ziying's face turned pale instantly. Fortunately, she remembered Xia Daoming's explanation, and her panic gradually calmed down, and then she began to explore the secret realm alone.
The other side.
Xia Daoming suddenly noticed a twisting ripple in the surrounding space. When he realized it, Lu Ziying was no longer around, and the scenery in front of him had completely changed.
He should be on top of an Optimus Pillar.
The stone pillars were surrounded by abyss and rolling clouds and fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
In front of him, stood a huge, ancient tower that was completely dark.
There are steps leading to the gate of the giant tower.
Guarding in front of the door was a giant wolf monster that was three to five feet long.
"This should be the new training ground. I wonder how powerful this giant wolf is?" Xia Daoming thought to himself and did not dare to be careless.
He covered his body with Hualilong Linjia, and took out the green light bead that he got from the hand of the skinny old man in Heiming Mountain.
With his magic power activated, a flash of green light enveloped his whole body.
With all defenses in place, Xia Daoming took his sword and slashed at the giant wolf from twenty feet away.
The powerful force shot out of the air along the blade, turning into a white tiger and pounced on him.
The giant wolf opened his mouth.
Wind blades roared out one after another, killing the white tiger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The white tiger raised its claws and slapped the wind blade.
The wind blade was blown away.
Xia Daoming felt very happy when he saw this.
The power of the wind blade displayed by this wolf is only comparable to that of a monk in the early stage of foundation building.
Xia Daoming stepped forward with confidence.
Swing the knife and slash.
The power of the white tiger increases sharply.
In the blink of an eye, the white tiger transformed by the power had already reached the door and smashed the giant wolf's head into pieces with one claw. The giant wolf turned into little bits of light and disappeared.
"Crunch!"
The tower door is wide open.
Xia Daoming climbed up the steps and stepped into the tower door.
In the middle of the bottom floor of the giant tower, there is a stone platform.
There are three things placed on the stone platform.
Two of them were about the size of a fist, and were shaped like the giant wolf guarding the gate just now. They were all dark and made of unknown materials.
The other one is an ancient scroll.
Xia Daoming first picked up the ancient scroll, opened it and glanced at it for a few moments, then showed a look of surprise on his face.
It turns out that the two wolf-shaped fist-sized objects are puppet machine beasts, and their strength is comparable to that of monks in the early stages of foundation building.
This ancient scroll introduces how to use the puppet machine wolf.
"What a good thing. If you can reach this level, you should be considered a leader among the Qi Refining monks even in this ancient sect.
The sect released these two machine wolves in this level. It seems that they are specially arranged to protect the top disciples, so that he will not die halfway, and at the same time, they can help him seize more opportunities. It can be said that they are well-intentioned! Don't know what the next level is? "
Xia Daoming thought to himself, looking up at the steps leading to the second floor.
Crouching there was a black tiger four to five feet tall, exuding an aura that was much more powerful than the giant wolf demon.
Xia Daoming put the puppet machine beast and the ancient scroll into the storage ring, walked slowly towards the black tiger, and stopped twelve feet away.
Draw the knife and kill the black tiger.
The black tiger roared and a knife came out of its mouth.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The two knives fought in the air, and a close clash broke out.
"Fortunately, it's equivalent to the mid-stage foundation building level!" A smile appeared at the corner of Xia Daoming's mouth.
Step forward.
The black tiger sword's radiance skyrocketed.
The tiger demon roared repeatedly, and the light of the sword filled the sky, but it could not block the light of the black tiger sword.
The sword light broke through the sword curtain and killed the white tiger.
The tiger demon raised its claws and slapped to block, but to no avail.
The middle stage of foundation building is too different from Xia Daoming.
In a blink of an eye, the tiger demon was killed and disappeared.
Xia Daoming climbed up the stairs and entered the second floor.
There is also a stone platform in the center of the spacious second floor.
There is a box on the stone platform.
There are six talismans made of unknown materials placed in the box.
The runes on the talisman were very ancient and complex, faintly emitting a mysterious aura of space, and the light falling on it was distorted.
"I don't know what kind of talisman this is, but it must be very advanced. Maybe Lian'er knows it. If Lian'er doesn't know, Sister Rui is knowledgeable and may know it." Xia Daoming thought to himself, put the box into the storage ring, and then looked up at the stairs.
The stairs had been submerged by a pool of dark water without knowing when.
The dark water surged, and a huge dragon head appeared. The dragon head was covered with black scales, and a fork grew on the horn.
A trace of cold and powerful emanated from the dragon.
Dark water dragon!
Xia Daoming couldn't help but look surprised.
He didn't expect to meet a powerful monster he knew here.
But after the accident, Xia Daoming was relieved.
The dark water dragon with a fork in the horn was equivalent to the late stage of foundation building.
For him who had already reached the perfection of the grandmaster, it was still a little weak.
"Early stage of foundation building, middle stage of foundation building, late stage of foundation building. It seems that after killing this dark water dragon, the foundation building should be complete. I just don't know if there will be fake pills and golden pills after the foundation building is complete?
However, with my current strength, I may be able to fight with fake pills to test my true strength, but I definitely don't want to think about golden pills." Looking at the dark water dragon not far away, Xia Daoming's mind turned.
Soon, Xia Daoming suppressed his distracting thoughts and killed the dark water dragon with the black tiger knife in his hand.
The dark water dragon raised the dark water, and suddenly the dark water turned into black ice arrows that shot out like rain, covering the space of two or three acres at a distance of twelve feet.
The cold air rolled, and the ice arrows covered the sky and the sun, with great power. Even a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building would be in a hurry to avoid such a large-scale attack.
However, Xia Daoming did not intend to avoid it at all.
For him, this is a rare opportunity for actual combat.
He held the knife and charged directly into the sky full of ice arrows. The knife light rolled up, like a series of black cold rays densely surrounding the surroundings, forming a huge ball of light.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang!"
The ice arrows in the sky shattered one after another when they touched the knife light ball and scattered on the ground.
