Chapter 388: Entering the Second Floor
Seven days later, Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth and inhaled, and the purple flag that was spinning in the air was sucked into his stomach. During these seven days, he did the most basic work on the "Big Dragon Elephant" It is still difficult to control Ruyi now, but simple manipulation is no longer a problem. When the matter has come to this point, Li Yan no longer wants to delay in the melting cave.
"The Great Dragon Elephant Formation is like a natal magic weapon. It also needs to be warmed and maintained in the Dantian. This is different from the formations I knew before." After looking up at everything in the cave again, he looked into the distance again. Cheng Wenming’s mummy is everywhere.
Li Yan cast the spell with an expressionless face, and made several "whistle" sounds in succession. Several formation flags flew out from the ground and the cave wall respectively, and were rolled up by Li Yan's sleeves into his pocket. It was exactly There were two other sets of formation equipment in the cave, and then Li Yan stopped looking at them. He swayed and shot towards the entrance of the cave. While traveling at a high speed, his figure became illusory and erratic until he returned to the melting cave. There was silence.
Li Yan did not plan to hunt any more monsters during the rest of the journey. The purpose of his coming here was not to kill the beasts for materials, so when he moved forward in the melting cave, he would rather walk slower to consume more spiritual energy. Under such circumstances, he always used "Stealth and Night Hiding" to move quietly.
This journey lasted for five days. During the five days, he traveled more than four thousand miles and encountered dozens of monsters. However, he knew nothing about Li Yan who walked by.
On this day, Li Yan, who was traveling, used the Guishui Sutra with all his strength to maintain the smooth operation of the five elements in order to reduce the loss of spiritual power. However, even so, Li Yan had to stop when he was traveling about three hundred miles. Come down and find a hidden place, swallow the elixir and meditate to recover.
Fortunately, he had prepared elixirs on him, and there were also many qi-moving elixirs in the storage bags of Cheng Wenming and the others, so he was not afraid of such consumption. But most of the time, Li Yan is still willing to use spirit stones to recover, and he has more spirit stones. Although the recovery is not as fast as elixirs, the effect on restoring spiritual power is better and purer.
As Li Yan was marching, his consciousness was fully unfolded, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face that had always been neither happy nor sad. What appeared at the end of his consciousness was no longer an endless blue hole, but a slit. White light, of course Li Yan knew what the white light in front of the melting cave meant.
"That is to say, I will be able to get out of the melting cave in another thousand miles. Calculated by the length, there should be six snow spirit masters in this melting cave. I also sensed two powerful auras while traveling before. The remaining snow spirit masters may be hidden. , or maybe it was not sensed by me for other reasons.”
Li Yan did not cause any trouble on the road ahead, so the rest of the thousand-mile road was naturally moved forward quietly. One day later, Li Yan was standing outside the long wall of ice and snow.
The sunshine outside the cave makes people feel open-minded and free from depression. Looking back, the long wall of ice and snow looks even more majestic.
Li Yan took a long breath, let go of his consciousness, and found four monks standing outside the long ice and snow wall three hundred miles away. They were also looking around. At first glance, they were people who had just come out of the melting cave. These four monks Among the monks, there were three Foundation Establishment monks and a Qi Condensation Stage disciple. When the three of them caught sight of Li Yan with their spiritual consciousness, their expressions changed several times. They glanced at Li Yan from a distance and whispered something. In a sentence, he hurried away with the Qi Condensation Stage disciple.
These three foundation-building monks were not stupid. They did not have the idea of stepping forward to kill and steal goods just because Li Yan was alone. On the contrary, they had to stay away quickly. A man who had just emerged from the melting cave Regardless of whether a monk broke into the melt cave with a companion before, the last person appearing here alone represents great strength.
Li Yan was unmoved by the reaction of the monks next to him. He continued to scan the left, right, and front three directions with his consciousness, and found several groups of monks. Some were coming towards the long wall of ice and snow, and most were heading towards the long wall of ice and snow. Going south, coming and going, each with different purposes.
Li Yan withdrew his consciousness and shot forward directly.
…………
What came into view was an endless river, with pieces of ice of various sizes flowing slowly on the river, and some icebergs in the distance reflected in his consciousness. Li Yan had been traveling through this world for nearly a day. .
Most of the day ago, he passed the "Foehn" Road, which is a somewhat strange narrow mountain stream with endless towering snow peaks on both sides. The monks were walking in the mountain stream, and there were silver-white wind pillars rising from the ground. , constantly stirring, coming and going from far to near, like jumping balls of silver-white will-o'-the-wisps.
If this wind blows on a person, even if the clothes are of low-level spiritual weapon level, they will turn into fly ash in an instant, not to mention the exposed skin. Only by turning on the spiritual shield can one be spared, but in any case In fact, "Foehn Wind" is not as difficult to pass through as "Snow Field" and "Melting Cave". As long as one has reached the eighth level of Qi Condensation Stage or above, one can form a shield with spiritual power to resist it. During the process, monks in the Qi Condensation Stage often find it difficult to maintain their spiritual power after traveling for a certain distance. It is necessary to swallow pills or use spiritual stones to recover slowly from time to time, which is extremely dangerous for monks in the Qi Condensation Stage.
"Foehn" is the best place in the tower for monks in the Qi Condensation Stage.
The gravel grinding place is a kind of experience for the condensation of spiritual power and the tenacity of monks, so Li Yan saw many monks in the Qi Condensation stage, either forming a team or composed of foundation-building monks, or even rare golden elixirs. The monks protect the people marching in the mountain stream.
Although the mountain stream is narrow, it is still wide for the cultivators in it. However, with Li Yan's spiritual sense, he can still find out in advance where there will be Jindan cultivators. He will avoid them early to avoid getting into trouble.
The "Fenfeng" road is also three thousand miles away. For a foundation-building cultivator like Li Yan, it is possible to fly through it quickly. During this period, Li Yan even wanted to release the spiritual power shield and let the pure physical body resist, because when he removed the spiritual power protection from his hands and exposed his hands to the "Fenfeng", his skin felt a sharp pain like a needle. Although that was all, Li Yan also felt that this was actually a kind of polishing of the physical body, which could be regarded as another practice of Qiongqi Purgatory Technique.
But this idea was dispelled after a moment. Although this place still looked wide, he would be discovered from time to time when the cultivators' spiritual senses were cross-scanning. Li Yan couldn't walk naked like this. If he used spiritual power to cover his body, it would lose the effect of grinding the body.
Li Yan could only sigh in his heart and move forward with all his heart.
After leaving the "burning wind", an endless river appeared in front of him. After carefully examining several icebergs in the distance, Li Yan's spiritual sense quickly locked onto a mountain peak because there were many cultivators coming and going there.
"The entrance to the second level of the southern glacier peak is so easy to find. If I had been teleported to the word 'concave', I would have saved a lot of trouble." In Li Yan's consciousness, the cultivators who flew out from the glacier peak, including monks and laymen, men and women, all showed deep magical powers. In just a short moment, Li Yan felt nine powerful auras, almost more than the total number of foundation-building cultivators he had met along the way.
After guessing the entrance to the second level, Li Yan no longer hesitated. His figure flashed and he went straight to the target. This time he did not hide his aura. After hundreds of miles, he arrived in front of a wide iceberg in just half a cup of tea. The reason why it is wide is that this mountain is thousands of feet wide and covered with a thick layer of ice, which looks a bit huge and "bloated".
In the process of approaching the iceberg, he had already looked around the mountain, so he landed on a place on the mountainside. The mountain in front of him reflected dazzling colorful light in the sun, and ice pillars crossed and covered the mountain in a slanting or straight manner.
, making Li Yan's vision full of a crystal mountain.
Not far from where Li Yan landed, there were two thick ice pillars on the surface of the mountain, which seemed to be thrown from the sky by a giant. Below the intersection of the two ice pillars was a dark cave, as if it led to the inside of the wide mountain, and it was unknown how deep it was. This was completely different from the ice house that could be left on the first floor of the tower. Those places were blocked by a door similar to a layer of blurred mirrors, and it was a teleportation place at a glance.
Li Yan looked at the dark cave indifferently. He had discovered that the cave entrance would occasionally twist, and then there would be monks walking out of it. Most of them looked extremely tired. As soon as they came out, they looked alert. After seeing the glacier scene in front of them, most of them relaxed their expressions a little, and then flew away quickly.
There were also cultivators flying from afar and landing in front of the pitch-black cave, and they plunged into it without any hesitation.
All of this was the same as described in the jade slip. Li Yan landed at this time and there was no one around. This was also the time he chose on purpose. He came to the pitch-black cave in a few steps, and entered with a spiritual light on his body.
In a flash, Li Yan appeared in a small space, and it was pitch black everywhere, but all this did not affect Li Yan's judgment of this place. This was a separate space, only two feet in size. It should be like entering the first floor of the tower. He was randomly teleported to a temporarily safe place. This should also be the place he needs to enter when he wants to leave the second floor and return to the first floor in the future.
Li Yan smelled a faint smell of decay, and his eyes gradually adjusted. In the dark space, a place in front of him was flashing with a faint gray light. Li Yan thought to himself, "After several months, I finally came to the second floor of the Beiming Demon Tower. Now it all depends on my luck."
In a dense jungle, Li Yan was walking in the forest, neither fast nor slow. The air here was humid and hot, and the trees were lush and green. Even if Li Yan spread his consciousness, he could not find the end. He could only judge the direction through the sunlight between the leaves and the growth direction of the branches and leaves of the trees. All this was very familiar to Li Yan. He grew up at the foot of Daqing Mountain since he was a child, and he had many years of experience in hunting in the mountains. For Li Yan, the jungle was several times better than the first floor of the tower.
In addition to flying high in the sky at the beginning and making detailed observations, Li Yan quickly descended back into the jungle. If he flew very high over the jungle, the monsters would naturally not be able to attack him, but he would usually be easily sensed by the spiritual consciousness of nearby cultivators, and the danger would naturally be much greater, so Li Yan was still willing to shuttle through the woods.
