Chapter 1237 City of Ruins
"Let's go." Xiao Lin waved his sleeves without hesitation and took Bai Ling forward.
The golden figure in the Lei Ze grassland looked deeply at the flash of dark green light in the distance, without any expression on his face.
"Is it that monk surnamed Jiang?" Bai Ling asked in a low voice during the flight.
Xiao Lin nodded after hearing this: "I didn't expect that we would be traveling with this person. It seems that the other three monks in the fusion realm are not far from us."
"What do you mean, Brother Xiao?" Bai Ling immediately understood after hearing this.
Xiao Lin smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that the Tianxuan Palace they are looking for may also be near the ruins city. Since the monk surnamed Jiang is behind us, the other three should not be far away."
"With their speed of flight, it is reasonable that they should have left us far behind. Why is the monk surnamed Jiang still behind the two of us?" Bai Ling asked in confusion.
Xiao Lin was also somewhat puzzled. Although his speed of flight was not inferior to that of ordinary cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Refining Void Realm, it was still a small witch compared to the cultivators in the Fusion Realm. Moreover, he did not fly at full speed along the way.
Logically speaking, those cultivators in the Fusion Realm should have been ahead of them long ago.
"Maybe they have other plans, which led to the delay. We should be careful on the road and try to avoid these people if we can." Xiao Lin couldn't figure it out and could only guess.
"The Five Fire Cave is behind us. The Five Fire Cave is much more dangerous than the Lei Ze Grassland, and the range is narrow. Should we hide first and wait for the cultivator surnamed Jiang to enter the Five Fire Cave before we enter?"
At this time, Xiao Lin also saw a huge mountain far ahead. The foot of the mountain was unusually thick, and it was afraid that it covered a thousand miles. What was strange was that both sides of the mountain were covered with five-colored poisonous fog, and even half of the mountain was immersed in the five-colored poisonous fog.
It seemed that there was no way out all of a sudden.
At this time, Xiao Lin thought of the Five Fire Caves that Bai Ling mentioned. After injecting his magic power into his eyes, Xiao Lin saw that at the foot of the mountain, there were five huge black caves lined up in a row. There was a faint flicker of fire inside the caves. It should be the Five Fire Caves that Bai Ling mentioned.
"Let's go in directly. With the huge divine consciousness of the fusion realm cultivators, we will be easily discovered even if we hide next to them." Xiao Lin thought for a while and replied.
Bai Ling heard it and felt that it made sense, so he did not insist. He nodded, and the two flew straight to the Five Fire Caves.
"Brother Xiao also saw this Five Fire Cave. It is actually five cave entrances. The source of the flames inside is unknown. It seems to be the legendary Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire. It contains extremely cold air. It can not only freeze the human body, but also freeze the soul of the cultivator. It is indeed extremely powerful. It can only be defended by the fire of the Yuanshen."
"Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire?" Xiao Lin was slightly stunned. He thought of entering the Senluo Realm when he was in the mortal world. According to rumors, the Senluo Realm is the only way to the Netherworld, and the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire is burning at the entrance of the Netherworld, which can cleanse the distracting thoughts of the souls entering the Netherworld.
Of course, these are just legends. The Netherworld is illusory. The Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire, in his opinion, is just a very powerful ghost flame.
The two soon came to the Five Fire Cave. When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, several figures appeared as several spiritual lights flew from a distance.
These people were all in the realm of the Void Refining Stage. They were obviously not on the same path. After looking at each other, they each found a cave entrance, shot into it, and disappeared without a trace.
"Brother Xiao, which cave entrance should we choose to enter?" Bai Ling's voice sounded in Xiao Lin's ears.
"Since the flames in this Five Fire Cave are all Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire, then it doesn't matter which one we choose. Let's go into this one?" Xiao Lin pointed to the cave entrance not far in front of him and said.
"Bai Ling, follow Brother Xiao's instructions."
After the words fell, the two of them drove the escape light at the same time and shot into the dark cave...
As soon as they entered the cave, Xiao Lin and Bai Ling felt an astonishing chill coming from the surroundings. This chill not only made the two feel that their body temperature dropped rapidly, but even their souls felt trembling.
"What a powerful Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire?" Xiao Lin's face condensed, and he couldn't help but exclaimed. Bai Ling's pretty face turned pale. Obviously, this coldness had a great impact on her.
Xiao Lin's mind moved, and he opened his mouth. A small silver mirror shot out and flew to the top of Xiao Lin's head, and then a large area of green light spread out, wrapping the two of them.
After being wrapped in the green light, the two immediately felt that the chill had dissipated a lot, and the feeling that made their souls tremble also completely disappeared.
"It really works." Xiao Lin was delighted. The soul light emitted by the Soul Condensing Mirror really had the effect of isolation. At the same time, Xiao Lin was also very vigilant about the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire. It was the first time that he had seen a flame that could affect the soul. In comparison, the Jade Gui Ice Flame he practiced could not do it.
After the two went deep into the cave for hundreds of feet, groups of green flames began to appear on the walls of the surrounding caves, and the surrounding cold became more and more intense.
But the feeling that made their souls tremble did not appear again.
Bai Ling looked at the silver mirror on Xiao Lin's head with curiosity on her pretty face, and soon her curiosity turned into surprise. It turned out that she saw a circle of mist around the silver mirror, which was obviously a performance that only fairy treasures could have.
"First-level fairy treasure?" Bai Ling glanced at Xiao Lin's back, and her curiosity about this person became more and more serious.
Only then did she understand that Xiao Lin's magical power was unfathomable. She didn't know that such a powerful person had been born in the mortal world. Then she smiled dumbly. When she ascended, Xiao Lin was probably still an unknown little cultivator. How could she notice him?
Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart again. She thought that she had ascended to the spirit world a long time ago. Until today, thousands of years have passed, but she still stayed at the peak of the spirit transformation realm, without any progress. In comparison, after Xiao Lin ascended, he advanced to the virtual refining realm in just a few hundred years, which really made her ashamed.
Suddenly Xiao Lin stopped. Bai Ling was still immersed in her thoughts. She was caught off guard and almost bumped into Xiao Lin's back.
Xiao Lin felt something and turned his head to look at Bai Ling in surprise. Seeing this, Bai Ling's pretty face became hot.
"Bai Ling was just thinking about something and lost her mind." Bai Ling hurriedly explained to cover up her embarrassment.
Xiao Lin nodded and looked ahead and said, "The front is actually filled with the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire. If we rush in rashly, I'm afraid there will be unexpected consequences, right?"
Bai Ling also noticed at this time that the sporadic flames in the cave a few dozen feet ahead had turned into blazing green flames, almost filling the entire cave.
The temperature in the entire cave was also reduced to an astonishing level. Bai Ling believed that even a great cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage would be instantly frozen into an ice wither in such extreme cold.
"Fairy Bai, do you know how to get through this Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire?" Xiao Lin thought that since Bai Ling knew about the fire in the cave, she might know how to get through.
Bai Ling heard this, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face. She shook her head and said, "Bai Ling only knows that this Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire has an extremely cold attribute, and it also has a certain lethality to the soul of the cultivator. As for how to get through this Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire, I don't know. Maybe I can only rely on my own cultivation to get through it."
Seeing that he could not get any useful information from Bai Ling, Xiao Lin closed his mouth and pondered.
After a while, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a foot-long knife-shaped magic weapon. The magic weapon exuded a faint golden light, and then the knife-shaped magic weapon turned into a golden light and shot straight into the flame.
But the moment it shot into the flame, a "crackling" sound was immediately heard.
On the knife-shaped magic weapon, a layer of black ice condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon the magic weapon lost its spirituality and fell directly to the ground.
Xiao Lin couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face. The Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire was more powerful than he expected.
It seemed that if he wanted to pass, he would have to go through a lot of trouble.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, with his cultivation, it would be no problem to resist the erosion of the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire in a short period of time, but he was not sure about the length of the cave. If the length was too long, he might not be able to withstand it.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin thought of a feasible way in his mind. Just when he was about to try it, his face suddenly froze.
Xiao Lin pinched the spiritual formula with both hands, and a gray sphere immediately appeared on his body. The surface of the sphere was still flashing with bright silver fragments of light. The sphere expanded and wrapped Bai Ling in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go?" Xiao Lin's voice sounded in Bai Ling's ears, and then the two shot into the flames.
As soon as the two entered the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire, a golden light flashed at the place where they were standing, and a forty-year-old long-bearded man appeared. It was the cultivator named Jiang who was in the Fusion Realm.
"Huh? The power of the Yuan magnetic field has integrated the rules of space, and it has actually isolated the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire. Although this person is only in the realm of the Refining Void Stage, his magical powers cannot be underestimated." After saying this, a dazzling golden light appeared on his body, and then he took a step and walked straight into the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire.
In the endless green flames, a gray light shield with silver starlight flickered in the flames, and every time it moved, it moved dozens of feet away.
Bai Ling, who was in the gray light shield, knew nothing about this.
After Xiao Lin advanced to the Refining Void Stage, he became more and more proficient in using the power of space rules. The Yuan magnetic space he cultivated also gradually merged with the power of space rules, and he was able to move within a small range of space.
Of course, this kind of movement is not comparable to the advanced dark magic that Xiao Lin practiced, nor is it comparable to the space movement magic that he practiced.
But in this dangerous Tiandu Secret Realm, Xiao Lin did not dare to use the space movement magic directly. If he suddenly entered a dangerous place, it would be more trouble than gain.
However, the Yuan magnetic space that integrates the rules of space is extremely suitable. The isolation power of the Yuan magnetic space can block the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire, and the power of space allows them to move a short distance, so as to quickly escape the coverage of the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire.
Xiao Lin felt that his mana was also being consumed rapidly. The Yuan magnetic space was fine, but the use of the power of space rules consumed a lot of mana. This was also the reason why the cultivators in the Refining Void Realm did not often use the power of rules.
Fortunately, the coverage of the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire was not large. After flying over a thousand feet, Xiao Lin felt the pressure outside ease, and then Xiao Lin found that the Five Ghosts Netherworld Fire outside had disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Lin immediately dispersed the power of rules, but the Yuan magnetic power did not stop, wrapping Bai Ling and constantly flying forward.
Bai Ling also felt it at this time, and curiously looked outside through the gray Yuan magnetic power. After another cup of tea, when Xiao Lin dispersed the Yuan magnetic power, the two appeared in a vast mountain range.
"We are finally out of the Five Fire Cave. The City of Ruins should be nearby." Bai Ling's pretty face showed excitement. As long as she found the super cross-domain teleportation array, she could return to the demon clan. Only by entering the demon pool and shedding the lower world's mortal demonic energy on her body could she break through and advance to the Void Refining Stage.
Xiao Lin could also feel her inner joy, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Then let's continue to move forward."
The two of them turned into two escape lights, shot into the sky, and then turned into the wild forest in front.
This wild forest was surprisingly large. Xiao Lin and the others flew for more than 100,000 miles before they stopped.
They stood in the void of thousands of feet. Hundreds of miles away, they could vaguely see a ruin, and from the ruins they could vaguely see broken tiles and broken walls.
And in the ruins, there was actually a lot of five-color poisonous fog, which cut the large ruins into countless pieces, and on top of the ruins, there were many buildings, some high and some low, continuous, and at a glance, there was no edge.
"Is that the ruined city?" Xiao Lin looked at the ruins and could vaguely imagine its prosperity in the past. In terms of size alone, it was also the largest city Xiao Lin had ever seen.
"Yes, the most dangerous place in this ruined city is not the five-colored poisonous fog. On the contrary, the place with the five-colored poisonous fog is relatively safer."
Xiao Lin was puzzled after hearing Bai Ling's words.
Seeing Xiao Lin's puzzled look, Bai Ling continued to explain: "The City of Ruins was originally one of the most prosperous immortal cities on the Holy Moon Continent, but in ancient times, it suffered a disaster and the entire city was destroyed. Now, after countless years of changes, no one knows when it began to be shrouded in the five elements of poisonous fog. In the city, there are many dangers due to the tearing of space. The most terrifying one is cosmic rays. Since the space around the City of Ruins is extremely unstable and there are many weak points, the various divine lights transformed by the original power of the universe often penetrate the weak space, thus causing fatal damage to the surrounding immortal cultivators."
"Cosmic rays?" Xiao Lin roughly understood it. After all, whether it is the spiritual world or the mortal world, or the legendary immortal world, they are all floating in the void of the universe.
The power of the interface can defend against most of the dangers of the universe, but for some places where the space is unstable, it will cause the dangerous forces in the universe to penetrate the space.
If there happens to be an immortal cultivator staying nearby at this time, it will be very dangerous.
