Chapter 1439 The Secret of the Earthly Realm (IV)

It was discovered that Zhenhun Palace was not the first monks to come here, because it was recorded in the jade slips that they were devoured by a celestial monster in the Fusion Realm called "Menghui Ant".

They were eventually refined by this demon, but the "Dream Return Ant" would fall into a deep sleep every time it was full.

Some monks who were not dead at the time had to undergo a more painful refining process later on. Some of them needed to be refined for dozens or hundreds of years while the celestial demon was sleeping, which made life worse than death for them.

So some jade slips and talismans were left behind, and most of the jade slips were inscribed with vicious curses similar to witchcraft directed at this "Dream Returning Ant".

Some of them were left to later generations, because they discovered that the "Menghui Ants" did not refine things like jade slips. These people hoped that if someone could finally escape, they would bring their news out.

Of course, these are just a kind of helpless sustenance before death.

This scared the monks of Zhenhun Palace to death. They didn't expect that the paradise they entered was actually inside the body of a legendary celestial demon.

In other words, is this heavenly demon in a deep sleep now, or is there some other abnormality that allows them to survive temporarily? Will they also be refined in the future?

So, he quickly reported the matter to the sect.

In the end, this incident even alarmed the old sect leader of the Void Refining Realm who had long since abdicated and became the Supreme Elder.

At this time, the biggest problem also appeared in the Zhenhun Palace. The Supreme Elder was still unable to break through to the Fusion Realm.

After he learned the news, he immediately left the seclusion, and after a secret discussion with everyone, he personally took the powerful deity transformers in the sect and began to search around.

He even took the risk himself and entered the remaining dangerous places to look for various clues.

After more than ten years of careful investigation, the Supreme Elder finally came to the conclusion that they were indeed in the body of a sky demon, but the sky demon had already died.

The cause of his death is unknown, but he may have died together after a battle with other strong men. This can be inferred from the fact that his body was not taken away.

A corpse of a heavenly demon of this level is top-notch refining material.

Or maybe after a battle with other strong men, this heavenly demon was seriously injured. The injury recurred and he died in seclusion. Finally, his powerful body transformed into this secret realm.

Finally, there is another possibility, but the possibility is not too high, that is, this demon has devoured too many monks.

And those monks did not die immediately, so they left a lot of things behind.

There are many cursed ghost talismans among them. These things are quite vicious. Although this sky demon is very powerful, if there are too many such curses, once it breaks out, it may cause him to die unexpectedly.

During these more than ten years of exploration, the Supreme Elder unexpectedly found a place where he sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough.

It was this place that finally allowed the old sect master to break through to the Fusion Realm for the first time, and that place also became the most secret place of the Soul-Suppressing Palace, heavily protected.

But here you can only break through to the Fusion Realm, and in the endless years, there will never be a similar "blessed place" again.

But precisely because it controlled this only important place, the Soul-Suppressing Palace gradually allowed those foreign soul cultivators to establish sects here.

In the end, no matter how hard they practice, they can only reach the Void Refining Realm.

The Zhenhun Palace itself eventually formed a situation of three halls and one palace, with the sect leader, the Supreme Chief

He always lives in the Zhenhun Palace at the core of the sect. There are "Hu Shi Hall", "Fu Chen Hall" and "Yi Que Hall" below.

Among them, the monks in the "Yi Que Hall" are basically composed of outside soul cultivators, as well as outstanding disciples from small sects in the future, who can be selected to join the Soul Suppressing Palace.

Later, with the increase of various small sects and aristocratic families, some monks who were squeezed out within the sect and clan had no choice but to go out, and some loose cultivators appeared.

And these casual cultivators will also try to see if they can pass the assessment and enter the Soul-Suppressing Palace; if not, they will continue to live happily in front of the casual cultivators.

After sorting through these situations, Li Yan finally figured out his current situation.

"The monks in the Fusion Realm can't leave here, so what should I do?"

How could Li Yan be willing to stay in the "Di Zhen Realm" for the rest of his life, when there were still relatives outside.

"Since there is an entrance, there is an exit. Either the exit is extremely difficult to appear and has not been touched by anyone yet. It may be that it is unable to appear due to some powerful restrictions.

But the monks in the late stage of integration have nothing to do here. Does this mean that the restriction that suppresses the ‘Earth True Realm’ has exceeded this realm, but they can’t break through to the Tribulation Realm...”

Li Yan fell into deep thinking for a while.

I don't know how much time passed, but Li Yan felt a stabbing pain in his head, and he finally woke up.

He didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, but it actually made his consciousness tingle.

He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling bitter and confused at the same time.

Li Yan stayed in a daze like this for a long time before slowly waking up.

He wanted to leave this space so much, especially when he thought that he might never be able to see his relatives again in his life, he became impatient.

He lost his former calmness, although as his cultivation became deeper and deeper, his hands were stained with too much blood, making his heart as solid as a rock.

But anyone who is familiar with Li Yan knows that his biggest weakness is still family affection.

Once family ties were involved, he would become crazy and irrational, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged a god-transformation monk to death because of Gong Chenying.

"I really have thought too much. Of all the foreign monks who come here, there must be countless people who have thought about this problem.

Although none of them have left, at least they will have more exploration after living here for a long time. If I can get this news, maybe I will get or discover something from it.

In addition, I have not even reached the state of becoming a god yet, so I am thinking about merging and overcoming the tribulation. This is no longer realistic..."

After Li Yan calmed himself down, he put these things aside and narrowed his eyes again.

Now this is the world of soul cultivators, so I am always in danger. It is a luxury to think of a way to leave the "Earth Realm". Life-saving is the most important thing to consider at the moment...

Li Yan, who was thinking, was thinking hard about how he would face the environment here next. He even found a place to hide without being able to escape, and even the soul cultivator had a way to detect it!

And at a certain moment, Li Yan's eyes suddenly froze. He had been sorting out the information he had received, but he ignored another thing.

That was when the gray-haired old man quietly launched his second attack, he paused for a moment and asked Li Yan doubtfully.

"He asked me if I was a soul cultivator? At that time, after I felt the throbbing of my soul, I subconsciously acted defensively..."

The hasty defense is an instinctive defense, which comes from more than ten years of continuous training in the underground alleys. It is a subconscious instinctive defense formed after being constantly attacked by soul cultivators.

And why did the opponent's two attacks cause fluctuations in human souls? This allowed him to react more quickly.

"Yes...it's because of Guiyi's water-splitting technique! Yes, that's it. Those two layers of techniques are designed to attack the soul. In fact, they are soul-type techniques!

Moreover, I have already cultivated it to the second level, which is to the point where it can affect human souls..."

These thoughts emerged in Li Yan's mind one by one, and Li Yan suddenly had a clear understanding.

"Normal monks, even if they are born with powerful souls, cannot control them before they practice special soul cultivation techniques, so they cannot be called soul cultivation!

But whether it was my situation on the Qingqing Continent or some of the spells in the Guishui Immortal Sect, I have dabbled in soul spells...

So in this way, I actually have the possibility of becoming a real soul cultivator. It is also feasible if I pretend to be a soul cultivator!

Before, the reason why I was discovered by the gray-haired old man was because I hid my figure and my soul power fluctuations were detected by the other party. It really made people feel a little sneaky and seemed to have something in my heart..."

Li Yan suddenly seemed to have opened a window, and his eyes slowly lit up.

After searching for souls, he now has some basic soul cultivation techniques. If he can learn more about soul cultivation techniques after studying them, then he should no longer have to hide.

Moreover, the soul cultivation technique is powerful, and Li Yan, like other monks, has always wanted to obtain their technique.

Now that he has dual cultivation of law and body, and possesses a detached poison body, he is already a rare opponent at the same level. If he has such a strange method as soul cultivation, he will have more ways to save his life in the future.

Li Yan looked forward, where there were two bracelets on the ground, one belonging to the golden elixir black-robed monk and the other belonging to the gray-haired old man.

These two bracelets are the soul cultivator's storage space magic weapon, called "Kong Ying". They are made from other weapon refining materials and "soul crystal buds".

But this kind of "soul crystal bud" that can refine "empty shadow" must be more than five hundred years old.

Therefore, this cannot be grown by ordinary mortals, but must be cultivated by monks themselves.

A mid-grade or above "Kong Shadow" can be refined by using the body of a "soul crystal bud" that is more than five hundred years old as a weapon and a heavenly soul above the Nascent Soul realm as the law of heaven and earth.

The refining of the low-grade "Kong Shadow" also requires more than five hundred "soul crystal buds". It can also be refined by adding a hundred golden elixir-level heavenly souls, but the space inside is usually only one to five. Just ten feet.

As soon as Li Yan raised his hand, he caught a bracelet in his hand. Now Li Yan knew clearly that what was left on it was the soul mark of the other party, so he only needed to remove it.

When Li Yan thought about it, these two people had already died, and his soul power was not bad. It would take some time at most to open it...

Half an hour later, a layer of sweat appeared on Li Yan's forehead, and his face was filled with soul power.

Too much and become pale.

He spent a long time trying, but still didn't open any of the "Kong Shadow" bracelets.

"No, not only did it not open, but my soul was greatly shocked. Although there is a soul seal of a golden elixir level soul cultivator here, it cannot be broken.

My soul power shouldn't be inferior to his... I can't even remove his soul mark. This is caused by the wrong method of using my soul power!

Even if the opponent is dead, the soul mark is a relatively special existence. Even if the main body dies, it is estimated that it will not dissipate as quickly as the spiritual mark.

Or it may not dissipate at all, just like a trace of the soul of some monks can still appear after a few years..."

Li Yan thought to himself that his soul power was far superior to other cultivators when dealing with the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Now, with the increase of cultivation, the degree of soul condensation is also increasing synchronously. The reason why he cannot open the "Empty Shadow" should not be because his soul power is not enough. It may be that the way he uses the soul power is too rough.

Not only is the attack power small, but it also wastes a lot of soul power.

After thinking about it, Li Yan made a plan.

He planned to choose a safer place nearby, and after offering the formation protection, he would first swallow it and comprehend some of the superficial soul cultivation techniques he saw in the memory of the gray-haired old man.

In the memory of the gray-haired old man, in addition to some superficial soul cultivation techniques, there are also some basic entry-level techniques, which should not be cultivated by the old man himself, but just the memories he has seen.

If he is discovered by others while practicing here, he will not hide anymore, and can try to go out to deal with it.

Anyway, from the memories of these two people, there are also casual cultivators in the "Earth True Domain"

They are either unsuccessful in the sect and are bullied and excluded; or they are unwilling to be restricted by the sect rules and go out to explore on their own. This is a good identity.

Li Yan's soul power should be very strong, and he can meet the requirements of using some simple techniques. Then after a simple understanding, he will see if he can open the two storage bracelets...

Sunset and sunrise, morning dew and evening, five days later, a figure shot out from a barren mountain, stayed in the air for a while, and then flew in one direction.

During the five days, perhaps it was the effect of the formation hiding, or perhaps it was because the place Li Yan chose was relatively remote, and no one really found this place for the time being.

In such a short time, he did not practice soul cultivation techniques, but devoted himself to studying the simple application of some techniques, although it was still very awkward to use.

But Li Yan has the foundation of "pulling souls to kill", at least he has understood some methods of application.

When he even tried to open the "empty shadow" bracelet again, the soul seal on it seemed to be a little loose. Although it still failed to open, it also made Li Yan feel surprised.

Since he could use the soul cultivation technique simply, he didn't want to delay here any longer. Li Yan planned to test it first to see if he could deceive the soul cultivators outside.

Only after passing this level, he could carefully consider his future plans and decide whether it was worth doing so. He didn't have much time to waste.

But when Li Yan had just flown out of the mountain for dozens of miles, he met three cultivators head-on. After seeing Li Yan's figure from afar, the three immediately came up and blocked Li Yan's way.

"Fellow Daoist, where are you from?"
