Chapter 524: Searching for the Power of Dragon Veins
They chose a suitable location, set a trap, and waited for the person behind the scenes to appear. Soon after, the man behind the scenes actually appeared. He led a group of men and confidently walked into the range of the trap. However, they did not find that Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue were quietly lurking nearby.
Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue suddenly appeared in front of the people behind the scenes. They exuded a powerful aura, which made the people behind the scenes feel a little fear.
"You two boys, how dare you go against me!" the man behind the scenes said through gritted teeth, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"We don't dare to go against you, but we want to protect our own strength and opportunities. If you know what's going on, you'd better leave quickly!" Gu Jiuchen said coldly.
The person behind the scenes sneered, and said without flinching: "Do you think you two juniors can deal with me just by yourself? You are so naive!"
After saying that, the man behind the scenes waved his hand and ordered his men to attack. Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue stepped forward to fight, their figures flashed rapidly, and every shot was a fatal blow.
Time passed by minute by second, and the battle entered a fierce stage. Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue showed talents and strength beyond ordinary people. Every attack they made made the people behind the scenes and their subordinates feel powerless and desperate.
However, the man behind the scenes did not give up. He ordered his men to attack with all their might, desperately trying to defeat Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue.
Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue also felt the increase in pressure, and their bodies were beginning to show signs of fatigue. However, they did not give up. They knew that only by persisting until the last moment could they win.
At the critical moment, Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue launched the most powerful attack at the same time. Their attack power merged together to form an unparalleled light.
This ray of light directly hit the man behind the scenes, and his body was completely destroyed in an instant.
The moment he disappeared, he shouted: "Haha, you just killed a clone of me. Just wait, when my true form comes, it will be your death."
Hearing this, Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue were stunned. They never thought that the killing place they carefully arranged would only kill a clone of the other party.
It is still not clear who this mysterious force is. They want to kill them for the inheritance they have received.
Now the strength of the two of them is very strong. Gu Jiuchen's fourth cultivation has reached the late stage of pill formation, and Si Mingyue's semi-infant realm is not far away from breaking through.
But in the face of the hidden forces, there were still some shortcomings. The two of them relied on formations and illusions, and they only killed a local clone and some small shrimps.
Such a record may seem impressive, but it is nothing to be proud of.
The most frightening thing is that they don't know how powerful the force behind the scenes is, and whether it has become a god or not is the most critical thing.
But fortunately, a super boss in the realm of gods will not move easily, and judging from the opponent's clone, he is only in the late Nascent Soul stage.
That person is very likely to be at the peak of Yuanying. Such a strong person is not something they can defeat now, unless Gu Jiuchen breaks through and becomes Yuanying in one fell swoop.
But it's impossible. The extreme breakthrough he needs cannot be achieved now.
Gu Jiuchen's brows furrowed, and Si Mingyue's eyes also showed a trace of solemnity. Facing an unknown enemy, they know that this battle is far from over, it is just the beginning, a dangerous prelude.
"Mingyue, we need more information. The master behind this force must not be simple, and we must find out as soon as possible." Gu Jiuchen whispered to Si Mingyue.
Si Mingyue nodded, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Jiuchen, I will immediately use my resources in the Dark Moon Sect to explore the details of this behind-the-scenes force."
The two acted separately. Gu Jiuchen decided to practice in depth and strive to break through the current limit of cultivation in the shortest time. Si Mingyue used her influence in the Dark Moon Sect to start collecting clues about the mastermind behind the scenes.
A few days later, Si Mingyue brought back some news. It turns out that this behind-the-scenes force is inextricably linked to Tianji Sect, one of the largest sects in the world. The Tianji Sect has always been the leader in the world of cultivation. Their power spreads all over the world and is bottomless.
"Tianji Sect," Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, with a flash of understanding in his eyes.
"Yes, but Tianji Sect is so huge that we cannot determine the exact identity of the enemy." Si Mingyue's tone revealed a trace of helplessness.
Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "We need stronger power. Maybe it is time to find the legendary Dragon Vein Secret Realm. Only by obtaining the mysterious power in the Dragon Vein can we possibly compete with Tianji Sect."
Hearing this, Si Mingyue's eyes also shone with anticipation. The Dragon Vein Secret Realm is a mysterious area that has been circulated in the world of cultivation for a long time. It is said that it contains the power of the ancient true dragon. Any monk who can enter and be recognized by the true dragon will have great opportunities.
The two decided to temporarily avoid the sight of Tianji Sect and go to the depths of the Dragon Vein Secret Realm to seek opportunities. However, what they didn't know was that their every move had already been noticed by the top leaders of Tianji Sect.
On the way to the Dragon Vein Secret Realm, Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue encountered countless challenges and tests. They encountered sieges by wild beasts, obstructions by ancient formations, and even plots by other monks. But they relied on their extraordinary strength and tacit cooperation to break through the difficulties one by one.
Finally, they came to the entrance of the Dragon Vein Secret Realm, where there was a huge light curtain with a dragon-shaped totem on it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Just as they were about to enter the light curtain, a thunderous sound rang out, and an old man wearing a Taoist robe and a star crown suddenly appeared in the sky. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and he saw through the identities of Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue at a glance.
"Are you young people who are looking for the power of dragon veins?" The old man's voice echoed in the valley, with a hint of inexplicable majesty.
Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue looked at each other, and Gu Jiuchen stepped forward and answered respectfully: "Junior Gu Jiuchen, this is Si Mingyue, we are indeed here for the power of the dragon vein."
The old man nodded, with a flash of admiration in his eyes: "The power of the dragon vein is extraordinary. If you want to get it, you must pass the test of the dragon vein. But remember, once you enter, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven."
Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue nodded firmly, indicating that they understood.
"Then go in, the Dragon Vein Secret Realm will be the turning point of your destiny." The old man waved his hand, and the light curtain slowly opened a passage.
The two took a deep breath, stepped into the light curtain, and set foot on the road to the Dragon Vein Secret Realm. The old man behind him had a deep look in his eyes, as if he had anticipated everything that was about to happen.
Inside the Dragon Vein Secret Realm, the ancient dragon vein power flowed in their bodies, constantly testing their will and strength. They need to pass the nine tests before they can truly touch the origin of the dragon vein power.
Gu Jiuchen and Si Mingyue fought side by side along the way, overcame countless difficulties, and finally came to the last test. It was a vast dragon vein lake, in the lake there was a huge dragon-shaped stone pillar, on the stone pillar were inlaid countless gems, the gems contained powerful power.
