Chapter 220 Dusk Valley
"Hehe! Brother, what you said is indeed reasonable. I'll listen to you!" Hu Longhai nodded in sudden enlightenment after hearing what Huang Shengxin said.
The remaining Huang Shengyue and Song Qingming also nodded without objection. After entering the secret realm, they basically listened to Huang Shengxin's arrangements directly and did not raise any other opinions.
When several people sat under the tree to rest for a while, Song Qingming touched the colorful feathers on his body and couldn't help thinking in his heart.
"It's been five days since I entered the secret realm. The Fire Phoenix hasn't contacted me yet. I don't know if she has sneaked in."
Since Song Qingming entered the secret realm, he has been waiting for the Fire Phoenix to give him a signal. He followed Huang Shengxin and the others just to have more self-protection power. As for which direction to go, he didn't care. Anyway, he still had to wait for the Fire Phoenix to tell him where he was going in the end.
Fortunately, the entire Taiyue Secret Realm is so large. No matter where the Fire Phoenix wants him to go, it should take at most a few days to travel at full speed.
——
At the northernmost part of the entire Taiyue Secret Realm, there is a huge canyon that spans half of the Secret Realm, called the Mutian Canyon. The canyon is full of white fog that covers the sky and is bottomless. From time to time, there are bursts of thunder-like sounds in the white fog, which makes people feel very scary inside.
The Mutian Canyon is silent within a hundred miles around it. It is also white and wrapped in slightly lighter white fog. Generally, after the cultivators come here and take a look, they will basically leave immediately and dare not walk into this unknown fog. Even if they are brave enough to rush in, they basically can't find any spiritual objects in it.
After the secret realm was opened, although many cultivators passed by here, no one dared to enter it until three days later, when a young woman in red came here.
The woman in red looked at the dense white fog in front of her, without showing any surprise, and directly raised her legs forward, and walked into the dangerous fog without hesitation, as if she had been here before.
After walking forward for dozens of miles, the woman in red finally appeared at the edge of the canyon. Looking at the white mist gushing out of the deep valley, she calmly took out a bronze mirror from her body and placed it on the mountain wall on one side of the canyon.
As the spiritual power in the woman's hand surged, the bronze mirror attached to the cliff wall emitted a dazzling red light, slowly sank into the cliff wall, and merged with the surrounding rocks.
After doing all this, the woman in red smiled and nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left the canyon, and walked out from the original road.
After walking out of the mist, the woman in red then walked towards a high mountain not far away. Not long after walking, there was a rustling sound in the grass on the side in front. The woman hurriedly stopped and looked over, only to see a triangular head emerging from the grass. It was a level 2 giant lizard monster that had been hovering nearby for a long time.
What was a little strange was that this second-level giant lizard monster did not choose to attack the woman in red not far away, but just stared at her blankly for a few seconds. After a while, its huge head slowly shrank back and soon disappeared directly into the bushes.
It was not until the giant lizard monster slowly left here that the woman in red turned around and continued to move forward. After she saw the monster, she did not care about it, but left here on her own.
If this amazing scene just now was seen by other cultivators who entered the secret realm, they would definitely be shocked. The cultivators who came here basically felt that the native monsters in the secret realm were extremely aggressive. Basically, as long as they saw a living person, they would take the initiative to attack. I don’t know what special ability this woman in red has, which can directly scare away a second-level giant lizard.
After the woman in red left here, the area around the Mutian Canyon soon fell into silence again, until a few days later, another group of people suddenly came here.
This group of people were all dressed in white clothes, and they all looked very young. They were the Xingchenmen monks from Wu.
These Xingchenmen monks, like the woman in red a few days ago, directly broke into the white fog and came to the edge of the canyon.
Liu Zongping, standing above the canyon, frowned and looked at the white fog in the canyon, then took out a few pieces of talisman paper that looked a little special from his storage bag.
After Liu Zongping injected spiritual power, the talisman paper in his hand slowly flew into the air, turned into a few dancing paper cranes, and flew directly to the bottom of the canyon.
This spell is a special secret method unique to Xingchenmen, "Thousand Objects Spiritualization Technique".
After learning this technique, some ordinary dead objects that have been refined in advance can be instantly transformed into living creatures with spirits. It is a very useful pathfinder secret method, and not everyone in Xingchenmen is qualified to practice it.
Several small paper cranes slowly went down until they were about a hundred feet below the canyon. Suddenly, there were several thunder and lightning sounds, and the paper cranes below instantly turned into a beam of fire and disappeared into the canyon.
At the same time, Liu Zongping, who was sitting on the ground above the canyon and controlling the paper cranes, suddenly had a cloud of black smoke in his hand, and slowly disappeared into the air.
Liu Zongping stood up slowly and said calmly: "At present, the barrier below has not loosened at all. It is not the time to go down yet. Next, everyone will take turns to perform secret techniques and explore every hour to strive to enter the inner valley first.
Don't worry about the herbs in the outer valley. There are some outside and there are also in the inner valley. And the elders have already expressed their attitude when they came here. This time, as long as we can successfully get the spiritual object inside, everyone will get a generous reward after returning to the sect."
After hearing Liu Zongping's words, the disciples of Xingchen Sect nodded one after another and guarded the edge of this canyon with full confidence.
The bottom of the Mutian Canyon is actually the entrance to the inner valley of the Taiyue Secret Realm. The reason why Liu Zongping and his team didn't dare to go down is that there is a very powerful barrier below the canyon, which separates this place from the inner valley. If they go down rashly, they will basically be struck into ashes by the lightning above the barrier like the paper cranes just now. They must wait until the power of this barrier weakens a little before they can use external forces to break through.
When the power of the barrier weakens, it usually happens about ten days after the secret realm is opened. From this time to the time when the secret realm is closed a month later, as long as you bring a few magic weapons to resist lightning, you can basically pass through the barrier smoothly. This is also the experience summarized by the senior monks of several sects after thousands of years of exploration and countless sacrifices.
Not long after the Xingchen Sect disciples arrived here, the monks of the Lingyin Sect also arrived on the other side of the Mutian Canyon. Like the Xingchen Sect, they explored the barrier in the canyon and chose to stay by the canyon.
