295. The Villain Elder in the Cultivation World (11) (1/2)
The mortal world has been very lively recently, because the mortal world, which rarely appears in a secret realm once in a thousand years, actually appeared in a secret realm this year.
Cultivators from all over the world, whether they are in seclusion or preparing to break through the realm, have all rushed here, the destination: the edge of the sea, Tongzhou Yecheng.
The people of Yecheng were urgently notified by the government to leave this place. Although the secret realm has not appeared in the mortal world for a thousand years, it has always been recorded. Secret realms like this are generally left behind by great powers before they fell or ascended when the mortal world and the cultivation world were not divided into two. After being discovered, cultivators enter and trigger the restrictions inside. After the cultivators enter for five days, regardless of whether these cultivators have gained any benefits from it, they will be excluded and closed again.
The opening time will be fixed afterwards, which may be once every few decades, or it may be hundreds or thousands of years. Often, the royal family will not interfere with such secret realms. At most, the cultivators in the royal family will enter together with other cultivators, and then record it and wait until the next opening before sending people in.
The local people will let the royal family know to leave, to avoid any trouble caused by too many cultivators, and ordinary people who are unable to resist will be accidentally injured.
Of course, there will be compensation.
Therefore, when the cultivators arrived, they faced an empty city.
The older cultivators who had information channels were not surprised, and the other cultivators who didn't understand why didn't say anything.
There is still a difference between the mortal world and the cultivation world. Because most of the cultivation in the mortal world is not very high, most cultivators still have their own forces and families. The few scattered cultivators are almost equivalent to having none. After all, in the mortal world, a foundation-building cultivator can start from scratch and become a big family.
The sects in the cultivation world are also not available in the mortal world, and they are replaced by families.
Because of the lack of resources, most cultivators know each other and have some exchanges from time to time.
Everyone looked around and saw a lot of familiar faces, so they simply gathered in twos and threes to talk.
"I don't know if this is a big secret realm or a small secret realm."
"It must be a small secret realm. I just met Prince Cheng. Among the secret realms recorded by the royal family, there has never been a big secret realm in tens of thousands of years."
"It's a small secret realm, it's better than nothing. I also met Prince Cheng. Judging from what he said, he should be about to form a pill and go to the upper realm."
Speaking of this, the faces of the people who were talking about it couldn't help but have a little more envy: "I don't know when we can practice to the Golden Core stage."
Although it is better to be the head than the tail, once you embark on the practice, as long as you can see the way forward, how can you bear to stop.
Those who stopped, such as the head of the Gu family who didn't come at all, were just helpless choices because they could only practice to the foundation-building stage at best.
Because they talked about the upper realm, the expressions of several cultivators who were usually able to call the wind and rain in the human world became lonely.
Their spiritual roots were not good. After all, if they were good, they should have been selected when the upper realm came to select disciples. They could achieve their current cultivation because they refused to give up and worked hard day after day. Although they did not regret taking this path, they still felt a little regretful.
"I heard that the eldest prince of the royal family went to Chengxiao Sect, which is a big sect. I am afraid that the royal family will rise again."
"Rise up, but I have seen the eldest prince once. Maybe because he is not a legitimate son, his personality is a little..." The speaker was an old man. When he said this, his face looked a little strange and paused. "No more, no more. Today is the third day, the day when we agreed to enter the secret realm together. We should prepare early."
The others did not ask in detail. Whether the eldest prince was good or not had nothing to do with them.
When the sun was just right, all the cultivators waited in front of the secret realm. It was originally a valley, but it was sunken because of the sudden appearance of the secret realm. The cultivators who seemed high and mighty in the eyes of mortals were all excited.
Until a flash of light appeared at the entrance of the secret realm, the door opened, and everyone rushed in.
"Huh?"
"Where is my cultivation!"
"What happened!"
The crowd came out again in a panic, but found that their cultivation was still there.
This was actually a secret realm that would make cultivators temporarily lose their cultivation.
If they went in, they might encounter danger. Without their cultivation, they might lose their lives. If they didn't go in, they would lose their chance.
When the cultivators present hesitated again and again, Wei Mingyan and Gu Xingxue just arrived.
He was still wearing white clothes. Although he didn't come on a sword this time, he was accompanied by Gu Xingxue, who was obviously not in any major hardships, and still attracted everyone's attention.
There was no other reason, these two were too conspicuous.
After seeing them, the cultivators unconsciously quieted down, until Wei Mingyan led people in, some people frowned slightly with doubtful expressions.
"Who is this?"
"I haven't seen him before, and he doesn't look like a junior."
"Master Ye, have you sensed their cultivation?"
The man called Master Ye looked serious and shook his head: "The one in black is at the third level of Qi training, and the one in white... I can't sense it."
Can't sense it, which means his cultivation is higher than Master Ye.
The few people looked at each other in shock. Master Ye is a rare cultivator in the lower world who has reached the Jindan stage but has not left yet. In other words, the man in white has a cultivation level of at least Jindan stage or above?
When did such a big figure appear in the mortal world?
There were a lot of speculations from people outside, but Wei Mingyan and Gu Xingxue were not affected at all. The two of them walked on this dark road. As they walked, he told them in a faint voice: "In this secret realm, what did you find?" It’s yours, no need to give it to me.”
Gu Xingxue clenched the sword in her hand, "Yes."
"You are a good sleeper."
Wei Mingyan laughed a few times: "This is a good attitude. From now on, as long as I am your master, you will treat me like this every day."
In the darkness, Gu Xingxue, who was still dressed as a man, paused, "Now that neither of us has any cultivation, I can definitely kill you."
"You can try."
Wei Mingyan's voice was filled with a smile: "If you can kill me here, I have no objection."
His teasing tone made Gu Xingxue extremely aggrieved. However, the man in front of her did teach her swordsmanship several times in the name of master. It has to be said that even without her cultivation, her His swordsmanship is definitely not comparable to Wei Mingyan's.
Gu Xingxue didn't speak again for the rest of the journey. There was light in front of them, and the secret realm was completely revealed to the two of them.
She and Wei Mingyan kept a close distance and looked at each other separately. Although Gu Xingxue had never been to the secret realm, she always remained vigilant along the way. As expected, several strange beasts would come out every once in a while.
After killing these strange beasts, some spiritual herbs would be found around them. She gradually discovered this pattern and began to actively search for the strange beasts.
Although Gu Xingxue had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, she had no experience at all. The strange beasts were easy to deal with at first, but later on, every time she killed one, she was panting from exhaustion.
After walking for less than three hours, she was already covered in blood, both from alien beasts and naturally from Gu Xingxue himself.
Wei Mingyan followed unhurriedly all the time. If a strange beast took the initiative to attack, he would kill it with one move, but he did not pick up the spiritual grass.
Gu Xingxue was extremely tired, but in a blink of an eye she saw the leisurely look on the face of the man following behind her, gritted her teeth and continued walking forward with the sword full of blood.
She could feel that her realm was already loosening.
Sure enough, compared to cultivating spiritual power, it is more suitable for her to prove the Tao with a sword.
***
Gu Xingxue gradually found his own position in the secret realm, and also honed his swordsmanship bit by bit in various actual combats. The first time he saw the strange beast, he would immediately make a defensive posture while thinking in his mind Think quickly about how to fight it in the simplest way possible.
During these five days, although Wei Mingyan was always following her, he never helped her and just watched her come all the way.
On the fifth day, he spoke, "Even without me, you can find your own way here."
Gu Xingxue remained silent. She knew that if Wei Mingyan hadn't been following him along the way, she would never have been able to fight without worrying about the outside world.
The two of them walked deep into the innermost part, and there was no way ahead. What they should do now was to wait for the five days to expire, and the secret realm would throw them all out.
Wei Mingyan, who had never shown any interest in the things in the secret realm, took his sword at this moment and walked step by step to Gu Xingxue, who was covered in blood and was leaning against a stone, breathing heavily.
She stiffened for a moment and subconsciously assumed a defensive posture.
"Xingxue, have you ever heard of Qingling Snake?"
Gu Xingxue leaned against the stone and shook his head slightly: "No."
"The Qingling Snake can be regarded as an ancient spiritual creature. It is called the Qingling Snake because it likes spirit stones the most. It usually grows near the spirit stone mines. Once you get close to it, as long as it makes the slightest movement, it will be immediately taken away. attack."
Gu Xingxue nodded and wrote it down carefully.
Although she still rejected the man in front of her in her heart, she had to admit that he did know a lot and taught her a lot along the way. If it hadn't been for that...
With his mind in a mess, Gu Xingxue forced himself to stop thinking and continued to ask: "What will happen after being attacked by the Qingling Snake?"
"The Qingling Snake is very fast. Generally, cultivators will be attacked before they can react. It contains highly poisonous substances in its body. After being attacked, the injured person cannot move within a stick of incense. Someone must use a knife to cut the wound immediately. , the black blood flows out, and it will be interpreted after about a quarter of an hour.”
After Wei Mingyan finished speaking quietly, seeing Gu Xingxue's serious eyes, he suddenly said: "You are leaning on the Qingling Snake."
"what!!"
Before she could react, she was violently pulled apart. The next second after she was pulled apart, the giant python that had been quietly disguised as a light yellow stone suddenly spread out, spitting out a message and quickly launched an attack.
Even though Wei Mingyan, who pulled her away, dodged in time, he was still bitten on the calf. When he was bitten, his sword was inserted between the seven inches of the giant python.
The next second, the white-clothed immortal who was still standing fell down stiffly and lay on his back on the ground. Black blood was still coming out from where his calf was bitten open.
In less than two seconds, the battle was over.
Gu Xingxue's heart was beating fast. She took out the dagger from her waist with trembling hands. She quickly stepped forward and cut the fabric on the legs of the man lying on the ground. After the skin was exposed, she took a few breaths to calm her trembling hands. After coming down, he gritted his teeth and scratched the wound, draining out the black blood.
Unlike her panic, the injured Wei Mingyan still looked calm, "I can't move now, why don't you kill me."
Gu Xingxue's hand holding the dagger paused: "A warrior must be upright and upright. Even if it means killing, I will not take advantage of others' danger."
not to mention……
She lowered her head slightly, her face still cold: "What's more, you are trying to save me."
"That's difficult."
Wei Mingyan sneered, "Do you know how many years it takes to reach the Mahayana stage?"
"No matter how many years it takes, I will wait for that day."
"You have a better character than me." Wei Mingyan said quietly: "It can be seen at a glance that even if you reach the stage of transcending tribulation in the future, you will not give birth to inner demons."
"Xingxue, do you know Xu Ling Sect?"
Gu Xingxue didn't know why: "Didn't you make up the Xu Ling Sect?"
The man lying on the ground raised his lips slightly: "In less than a year, I want the name of Xu Ling Sect to be resounding in the world of cultivation."
Gu Xingxue: "Didn't you say you were wanted?"
Having said this, she looked at the mask still on the man's face: "Hidden face?"
"No."
"Now in the entire world of cultivation, our Xu Ling Sect should be the most confident."
"Who told me, we have a spiritual stone mine."
Wei Mingyan denied: "I want to be honest and go back as a traitor to the sect."
The author has something to say: The first ten little angels will give out red envelopes, and another hundred random little angels will give out red envelopes.
Sorry everyone, I'm really stuck. The next chapter will probably be very late. I'll give you a hundred random red envelopes to make up for it.
