Chapter 1248 Ghost Palace
Xiao Lin had also heard of the Tianwei Clan, which was also a subsidiary race in the Ling Clan area, and its status was almost the same as that of the Tianmu Clan.
The Tianwei Clan and the Jiuwei Clan that Xiao Lin saw in the lower realm were not the same clan. The Tianwei Clan looked like humans, and their average height was about a foot taller than that of humans. The only difference between them and humans was that their members had a natural long tail with a hook at the end of their tails, which was extremely hard and poisonous.
Before adulthood, the Tianwei Clan used this tail hook as a means of self-protection. After adulthood, the tail hook of the practicing Tianwei Clan gradually degenerated and fell off, while the tail hook of the Tianwei Clan that had never practiced would always exist until they died of old age.
Therefore, in the Tianwei Clan, the method of seeing whether a member of the clan was practicing was very simple. Just look at whether there was a tail hook.
"Perhaps the secret of the fall of Tianxuanzi and the destruction of the ruined city is in this Tianxuan Palace. We can naturally solve this mystery of the ages when we enter it." The cultivator surnamed Jiang said.
"Yes, we should open the door of Tianxuan Palace as soon as possible and enter it to search for treasures." Huosha also echoed from the side.
Jinzhu Shangren and Shuisha also expressed their agreement, but Xiao Lin did not react at all. Of course, his reaction was not important.
After exploring the surrounding environment, several people stood in front of the bronze door. The bronze door seemed to sense the approach of a living being, and it flashed a rich five-color spiritual light on its own, wrapping up the entire palace.
On the bronze door, five whirlpools were flashing, showing red, yellow, green, blue and gold.
Xiao Lin and the other five people each pinched the spiritual formula to accumulate mana. After a while, they all shot out a stream of mana and injected it into the five whirlpools in the air. The whole gate immediately shone with spiritual light.
The entire underground space was filled with five-color spiritual light, and then countless spiritual light filaments extended from the five whirlpools, like a spider web, extending in all directions, and soon wrapped up the entire bronze door.
Not only that, after wrapping the bronze door, the spiritual light filaments continued to expand in all directions, and soon wrapped up the entire palace.
"Kacha~~" Suddenly a crisp sound rang out, and the five vortexes on the bronze door collapsed, and then accompanied by a "zaza" sound, the bronze door actually opened inwards by itself, revealing the darkness inside.
"Sure enough, it opened." Everyone showed joy.
It turned out that the method of breaking the restriction recorded on the map after the five animal skins were fused included the restriction of the Broken Dragon Stone outside, as well as the method of opening this bronze door.
There was nothing else.
In other words, once they entered this bronze door, they could only rely on their own cultivation and luck to find treasures.
"After the bronze door is opened, we should have entered the outer three halls. As for how to enter the inner three halls and whether there are powerful restrictions and protection, we need to explore it ourselves. Everyone, take care of yourself. My husband and I will go in first." After Huosha finished speaking, he and Shuisha turned into two escape lights, shot into the bronze door and disappeared without a trace.
The cultivator surnamed Jiang followed closely behind the two and entered silently.
"Xiao boy, when you enter the Tianxuan Palace later, I will not be able to take care of you. Whether you can find treasures in it depends on your own luck." Master Jinzhu suddenly turned around and said to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin knew that Master Jinzhu was telling him that once he entered the Tianxuan Palace, if he encountered rare treasures, he would inevitably fight for them. First, if the two met, Master Jinzhu would not think of their old friendship. Second, if Xiao Lin was ignorant of the current situation and dared to compete with Master Jinzhu, he would never show mercy. Of course, if Xiao Lin was chased by the other three, he would also stand by and ignore it.
"Junior understands that for unowned treasures, everything depends on fate. If junior has no fate, then everything is in vain. Junior wishes senior to return with a full load and find the treasure he likes." Xiao Lin bowed and replied.
Master Jinzhu nodded upon hearing this, and a golden light appeared under his feet, followed by a flash of golden light.
Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, and sensed that there were already many cultivators in the Refining Void Realm like him coming towards the Tianxuan Palace in the distance. Xiao Lin no longer hesitated, and launched a light of escape, shooting into the Tianxuan Palace, and disappeared without a trace.
Not long after Xiao Lin entered the Tianxuan Palace, more than a dozen lights of escape shot down in front of the Tianxuan Palace. They looked at the open bronze door and all showed expressions of surprise.
"I didn't expect that we were so lucky. Not only did we find the entrance to the Tianxuan Palace, but we also had the chance to enter it."
"I was afraid that after we entered, we would run into those old monsters in the fusion realm, and in the end we would not get the treasures, but would lose our lives."
"Hehe, this kind of immortal palace and treasure land does not rely entirely on one's own combat power. Sometimes it also depends on the word fate. If fate is not there, it is useless to have a high level of cultivation. If fate is there, maybe you will encounter treasures with your eyes closed."
"Yes, we cultivators are going against the will of heaven. How can we give up the immortal path for a mere risk? You and I chose to enter the Tiandu Secret Realm because we have stayed in the Lianxu Realm for too long. We want to try our luck here. Now we are fortunate enough to enter the Tianxuan Palace, so we naturally cannot miss it."
"Daoyou said it's true. It's said that Tianxuanzi is a top-level cultivator in the late stage of the Tribulation. The treasures he left behind are not ordinary. We should go in quickly to avoid being beaten by those old monsters."
A dozen people talked in front of the door. On the one hand, they encouraged each other, and on the other hand, they were waiting for Master Jinzhu and other old monsters in the fusion realm to go deeper to avoid hitting a wall as soon as they entered.
Soon, feeling that the time was almost up, more than a dozen people also drove their escape lights and shot into the bronze door.
After Xiao Lin entered the palace, he saw that there were several ever-burning lamps on the stone pillars on the left and right sides of the hall, emitting a faint orange-red light.
It was unknown what kind of creature's oil these ever-burning lamps were made of. After so many years, they were still burning.
After entering the hall, Xiao Lin did not see the figures of Master Jinzhu and the other four people. In the depths of the hall, there were five portals. These five portals were about ten feet high and three feet wide, flashing a layer of dark purple halo, which was obviously a teleportation entrance.
Xiao Lin came to the five portals and carefully checked them, but did not find any difference. He thought that Master Jinzhu and others had all entered the depths of the hall through these five portals. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin chose the portal on the far right and flashed into it.
After a long time, Xiao Lin came to an empty hall. The hall here was different from the outside. There were eight stone pillars placed around the eight trigrams, and in the center of these eight stone pillars, there were eight ten feet high light circles flashing.
In the light circle, runes flowed, emitting amazing spiritual pressure.
"Teleportation array?" Xiao Lin looked at the eight ten feet high light circles, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. These eight light circles represented eight teleportation arrays. Where did these teleportation arrays teleport to? Xiao Lin was doubtful.
This Tianxuan Palace was mysterious and unusual, and the layout inside was probably unpredictable. If he teleported rashly and ended up in a dangerous place, wouldn't it be a loss?
Xiao Lin carefully looked at everything in the palace, not missing any corner, but after a while, Xiao Lin found nothing and did not find anything suspicious.
Xiao Lin then looked at the eight light circles. In front of each of the eight light circles, there was a rune. Xiao Lin saw at a glance that these eight runes represented the eight poles of the Eight Diagrams, namely Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui. These were the Eight Diagrams and could not be used as guides for the portal.
Xiao Lin believed that in this Eight Diagrams teleportation light circle, there must be a real teleportation array that would teleport to the next level, but Xiao Lin did not know how to choose.
Xiao Lin had a thoughtful expression on his face, and his mind was turning rapidly.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin's face froze, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. A gray light flashed in Xiao Lin's hand, and two fragments of the map appeared silently in Xiao Lin's hand.
Xiao Lin turned one of the fragments over, and on the back of the fragment, there were five ancient seal characters - heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts. Under the characters of heaven and ghost in these five ancient seal characters, there was an eight-diagram graphic engraved, one for Xun and the other for Dui;
Seeing this, Xiao Lin's face suddenly showed a look of great joy. He put away the two fragments of the map, and then his face froze, and his body flashed into the light circle of the Dui position. With a flash of spiritual light, Xiao Lin's figure had disappeared without a trace.
After Xiao Lin teleported, four spiritual lights flashed in the hall. One of them was the monk surnamed Jiang. When the other three saw the monk surnamed Jiang, their faces changed drastically, showing a vigilant expression.
The cultivator surnamed Jiang did not even look at the three people, but stared at the eight-diagram light circle in front of him, with a hesitant expression on his face.
"It seems that I am still late." The cultivator surnamed Jiang looked at the light circle with a sharp look, and then with a slight shake, he was teleported back from the purple teleportation array behind the hall.
Xiao Lin's eyes went dark, and the next moment, he found himself in a gray space. He looked into the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
The space in front of him was a little weird, and the void was filled with a very dark and evil power. Xiao Lin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a possibility.
"Dark spiritual power?"
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is divided into nine categories according to its attributes: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, and dark. After the cultivator advances to the God of Transformation, the spiritual roots merge into one and become immortal roots. In principle, there is no distinction between attributes.
However, this attribute-free power is not the power cultivated by the immortal cultivators, and it does not have attribute bias, but it can absorb any attribute spiritual energy of the spiritual root attribute that one once possessed.
For example, if an immortal cultivator with three spiritual roots of water, earth and wood can advance to the stage of transformation and condense the immortal root, then when he cultivates, he can absorb the spiritual energy of the three spiritual roots of water, earth and wood at the same time.
As for the spiritual energy of the other six spiritual roots, they still have a strong repulsive force and cannot be directly absorbed into the body.
For an immortal cultivator with nine spiritual roots like Xiao Lin, it was originally very difficult to advance to the stage of transformation. Once he advanced to the stage of transformation and condensed the immortal root, the immortal root fused with the nine spiritual roots can allow him to directly absorb all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, swallow it into the body, and improve his cultivation.
This is also the advantage of having multiple spiritual roots. Of course, cultivators with fewer spiritual roots do not have no remedial measures. That is, when they transform into spirits, they can integrate more different types of seals to make up for the lack of spiritual roots.
However, the number of high-level seals is extremely rare. More than 90% of cultivators can fuse more than three high-level seals when they transform into spirits, which is already precious. For example, Xiao Lin, who directly fuses nine high-level seals, is not unique, but it is definitely rare.
Therefore, Xiao Lin can directly absorb this dark attribute aura. Dark attribute aura, which focuses on cold and evil, is the foundation of the cultivation of ghost cultivators and demon cultivators. Of course, it does not mean that ghost cultivators and demon cultivators cannot absorb the other eight types of aura. At this point, it depends on whether their immortal roots have the other eight types of aura attributes.
Looking at the gloomy scene in front of him, Xiao Lin could not help but mention the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, and walked forward with a vigilant face.
According to Xiao Lin's estimation, the space he entered in the position he chose should not be dangerous. Xiao Lin also understood through the incomplete map that these five incomplete maps represent the five spaces of heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts, and the correct way to enter this nowhere space is on the back of the incomplete map.
Just like his two incomplete maps, one is the heaven map and the other is the ghost map. Xiao Lin is now entering the ghost map.
"Could it be that there are not only three but five outer halls of the Tianxuan Palace?" Xiao Lin pondered, took out the incomplete map again, and looked at the back of the incomplete map carefully.
"Heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts, the master of heaven should be the leader, the earth, man, gods and ghosts map, the wonderful method returns to reincarnation."
At this time, Xiao Lin looked at the four lines of small characters on one side of the back of the incomplete map. This line of small characters looks like a poem, but it doesn't seem like it. Xiao Lin has seen these four lines of characters before, but he has never figured out their true meaning.
Thinking that he had entered the Ghost Palace among the Heaven, Earth, Human, Gods and Ghosts, and reading this poem, Xiao Lin suddenly felt moved and showed a surprised expression on his face.
"Could it be that the key to entering the inner palace lies in the Heaven Palace?" Xiao Lin suddenly thought of this.
"Heaven, Earth, Human, Gods and Ghosts, the one who controls the sky should be the leader?" Xiao Lin muttered to himself, and felt that his guess was almost right. He should have chosen to enter the Heaven Palace from the beginning.
At the same time, Xiao Lin was also shocked. He thought of a possibility. If he could think of this, those old monsters in the fusion realm would definitely not think of this. If he did not make a mistake in his estimation, the remaining pictures in the hands of Master Jinzhu and others should be the three pictures of the Earth, Human and God.
Once they thought of this, they would definitely try to return to the main hall and guard him. As soon as he appeared, he would be sniped.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's face couldn't help but look ugly.
He had not expected that he had originally intended to enter the Tianxuan Palace to try his luck and had no intention of having any conflict with those old monsters. But now, the development of things seemed to be gradually pushing him to the opposite side of the four combined old monsters.
