"Chu Xuan! We don't want to be your enemy, please let us go!" Chen Jie gritted his teeth and shouted.
"We have no grudges against each other, there is no need to fight!" He Ru also shouted.
Zizai sneered, "If I hadn't reacted in time, I would have been seriously injured by you!"
"How can this be called no grudges or hatred?"
The two were so depressed that they almost wanted to vomit blood.
What do you mean by timely response?
It was clearly us who reacted promptly and retrieved the spiritual weapon immediately.
Otherwise, the spiritual weapon may not be recovered!
Besides, what do you mean you might be seriously injured?
With your strength, even if our two spiritual weapons hit you, can't you block it?
Not to mention serious injuries, not even a corner of his clothes can be torn!
"This is too bullying!" Chen Jie gritted his teeth.
He Ru said angrily, "Fight him! We have to make him understand that we are not easy to bully!"
Bang bang bang!
After just three or two rounds, the two were at a complete disadvantage.
Even Chen Jie's magic weapon was destroyed in one move.
If He Ru hadn't held up four huge shields, I'm afraid both of them would have been seriously injured.
Chen Jie's expression changed several times, and then he laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Chu, we were just joking with you. How could we be your opponent?"
He Ru coughed lightly, "Fellow Daoist Chu, although the two of us are no match for you, you can't kill us quickly either."
"Once the fighting here gets louder, it will attract more monks and wild ghosts to come closer."
"It's not a good thing for either of us."
"How about we just go our separate ways?"
Zizai said cautiously, "You want me to let my guard down, so take advantage of the opportunity to attack me!"
"I won't fall for it!"
Chen Jie and He Ru complained in their hearts.
Who would take advantage of you?
Even if you attack from behind, you still can't win unless you can kill him instantly.
Chen Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, we got three Yin Pearls, and we'll give them all to you."
He Ru also reacted, "I have two here too. Brother Chen is right. Let's just consider it as making friends."
Zizai rubbed his hands together and said, "How can I be so embarrassed? I even broke your spiritual weapon."
He Ru quickly said, "Of course I'm glad to hear that! We'll be friends from now on!"
Chen Jie followed suit, "It's okay, it's okay. It's just a spiritual weapon. It can't compare to the friendship between us!"
As he said this, his heart was bleeding.
That was one of the few high-grade spiritual weapons he had.
I'm afraid it can't be used anymore.
Zizai chuckled, stretched out his hand, and took the five Yin beads away, "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse."
Chen Jie and He Ru breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and retreated.
When it was a certain distance away from the Demon Body of Freedom, it immediately accelerated and flew away, and disappeared in a moment.
He smiled lightly.
Just as Chen Jie and He Ru had just said, although he was powerful enough to overwhelm these two people, he could not kill them in a short period of time.
The Valley of the Dark Wind is not a place for bravery and violence.
At least when the benefits are unknown, there is no need to take too much risk in fighting.
"In this way, there are eleven Yin beads."
He smiled with ease and understanding.
After thinking about it, I just wiped it off and wandered around with a different face.
Killing the wild ghosts by yourself is really too slow.
It's still more cost-effective to rob others.
A month later, Zi strode to the valley entrance.
The entire Yinfeng Valley is actually very large, and in this month, he has only walked about one-third of it.
The entrance to the valley is narrow and tight, only allowing up to three people to pass through closely together.
But the cultivators who entered this cave all had their own plans, so how could they get so close to others?
Therefore, only one person can pass through this valley entrance at a time.
But Taniguchi couldn't just leave whenever he wanted.
Because there is a gray-black light curtain here.
At this moment, seven or eight people had gathered nearby.
But no one dared to approach the light curtain. They just stood far away and communicated in low voices.
They clearly didn't know how to get through.
Still in the dark.
Seeing Zizai approaching, they all looked a little surprised, wanting to see how he would get through.
Shangguan Youlian was also among them.
When she saw the Devil's body, she quickly walked over and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Devil, don't go over there. There's a Ghost King inside that light curtain. He attacks anyone he sees. He's extremely powerful. We're trying to figure out a countermeasure."
Zizai pretended to be curious, "Really? I'll go check it out."
Shangguan Youlian wanted to stop it, but couldn't. She could only watch as the demon body walked into the gray-black light curtain.
There is a small secret realm within the light curtain.
There is nothing around.
There was only a huge ghost king in front of him that was a hundred feet tall.
This Ghost King has a green face and fangs, three heads and six arms, and holds a huge hammer in his hand. He is extremely ferocious.
It is like an iron tower, its soul is extremely solid, and there is a strong yin energy lingering around it.
The evil energy even condensed into the shape of a skull, constantly rotating around the Ghost King.
Even if it is just motionless and pretending to sleep with its eyes closed, it still exudes an extremely ferocious aura, enough to scare a Nascent Soul to death and frighten a Spirit.
As if sensing the breath of a living person, the Ghost King suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of creepy black ghost eyes.
As soon as it opened its eyes, it suddenly roared and swung its huge hammer.
Relaxed and thoughtful.
The strength displayed by this Ghost King on the surface is that of a ninth-level Ghost King.
But in fact, it is backed by the entire cave.
No matter how many out-of-body monks there are, they are no match for it.
Moreover, every cultivator who enters the gray-black light curtain will face the Ghost King alone.
Therefore, it is almost invincible.
Before the giant hammer fell, Zizai said calmly, "I have the Yin Pearl, and I want to trade with you."
The giant hammer suddenly stopped.
The Ghost Emperor smacked his lips, "Finally, I've met a smart trial participant."
Bang.
It retracted the giant hammer, put it aside, and said lazily, "Give me fifty Yin Pearls, and you can go to the Meteorite Bridge."
That fierce and violent temperament disappeared without a trace at this moment.
They are completely different.
Zizai smiled and took out a Qiankun bag and turned it upside down.
The Yin beads rushed out.
In a short while, it was piled up into a small hill.
Most of them were stolen from others.
The rest was obtained from hunting wild ghosts.
Zizai smiled and said, "A total of one thousand and twenty."
The Giant Hammer Ghost King's eyes widened, and he was very excited. "Young man! You are very sensible!"
"Tell me what you want!"
"I can tell you how to cross the meteorite bridge!"
Zizai smiled and said, "I don't need a way to pass through the meteorite bridge."
The Ghost King was stunned and scratched his head, "Then what do you want?"
Smiling comfortably, "Can I choose for myself?"
"Kungfu techniques, talismans, elixirs, formations, spiritual objects, and spiritual tools, I want to see them all."
The Ghost King scratched his head and said, "Young man, you have a big appetite."
"But I like it!"
It laughed heartily, stretched out its hand, and a large amount of treasure fell from the air in front of it.
Secret techniques, magic weapons, elixirs, everything is available!
With a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he quickly found a lot of things he needed from the mountain of treasures.
Such as the spiritual object "Tianqiao Fruit" which is needed by late-stage out-of-body cultivators to improve their realm.
The "Locust Mother Wax" required to upgrade the Thousand Insect Nest.
The "Burial Flower Bones" and "Black Dragon Skin" required to enhance the Sky-covering Umbrella.
It is in line with the "untransformed Gangfeng Essence" required for practicing "Gangtian Xuanji Baolu" and so on.
He picked out some of the things he needed most and put them in his pocket.
Finally, there are fifty Yin beads left to trade.
He thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly fell on the Ghost Emperor's giant hammer, "I want your giant hammer ghost weapon too."
The Ghost King flatly refused, "No! This is my treasure!"
Zizai smiled and said, "You don't need this ghost weapon to guard the house."
"Give it to me."
"The rules of the trial in Yinfeng Valley are all about exchanging benefits."
"As long as I offer a deal and there are enough Yin Pearls, you must accept it."
"Your master probably didn't say that the giant hammer ghost weapon is not included in the transaction."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King became extremely angry. The Yin energy in his body boiled and his body suddenly increased several times in size, as if he was going to swallow Zizai in one gulp.
But Zizai just stood there, smiling without saying a word.
This scene lasted for more than ten breaths.
The Ghost King immediately became depressed. "Okay, here you go."
It threw the giant hammer ghost weapon directly over.
"Thank you." Zizai accepted the giant hammer ghost weapon and nodded with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scenery changed drastically.
He stood in front of the gray-black light curtain again.
But this time, a door opened on the surface of the gray-black light, allowing him to pass through.
The cultivators around, including Shangguan Youlian, were all dumbfounded.
What's going on?
We pondered for a long time, entered the gray-black light curtain several times, and tried every possible means, but we were unable to defeat the Ghost King.
Henry Chu only went in once, and only a short while had passed. How could he have passed?
A cultivator's eyes rolled and his speed increased dramatically, trying to rush through the door before Chu Xuan.
However, just as he was about to pass by, a huge and thick ghost hand suddenly stretched out from the gray-black light curtain.
With a sudden grab, he pulled the cultivator's soul out of his body, pinched it and threw it into the light curtain.
Then came the scalp-numbing chewing sounds.
Seeing this, Zizai chuckled, picked up the body on the ground, and then strode through the door.
Before passing through the door, he looked back at Shangguan Youlian and his lips moved slightly.
When he passed through, the door disappeared.
The gray-black light curtain returned to its previous appearance.
Shangguan Youlian was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about something.
From the lip movements, she seemed to have guessed something.
On the other side, Zizai smiled slightly.
Each of the five trials in Hun Tianjun's cave corresponds to a rule.
As long as you can grasp this rule keenly, you can pass the test easily.
The Ghost King at the entrance of Yinfeng Valley is so ferocious and violent that it is obvious that he must be defeated before passing.
When most people meet, they will subconsciously activate their spiritual weapons to defend against the enemy.
But in fact, as long as you provide fifty Yin beads, you can pass through easily without any effort.
If you can provide more Yin beads, you can also trade various treasures from the Ghost Emperor.
However, Zizai looked down upon those ordinary spiritual objects, and it would be a waste to exchange Yin beads for them.
He fell in love with this giant hammer ghost weapon at first sight.
If it can be used by four arms, its strength will be greatly improved.
Moreover, he didn't plan to stay in the Valley of the Dark Wind for too long.
Because more treasures can be obtained in subsequent trials.
The treasures of Yinfeng Valley are just appetizers.
As for helping Shangguan Youlian, it was only because Shangguan Youlian had once provided help to me.
Shortly after leaving, Shangguan Youlian also successfully passed through the gray-black light curtain.
A surprised smile appeared on her face.
"Sure enough! The key to passing through the gray-black light curtain is the Yin Pearl. He didn't lie to me!"
After a while.
Shang Xingchen and Liudao both arrived here.
They collected enough Yin beads and wanted to exchange them for many things.
"Gone?" Shang Xingchen looked shocked.
The Ghost Emperor nodded and said depressedly, "Yes... before you, there was someone who took out more than a thousand Yin Pearls and exchanged them for many valuable treasures."
"He even took my sledgehammer away. It's so infuriating!"
Shang Xingchen smacked his lips.
It's easy to tell with your toes that it must be the free demon body walking in front of him.
"Forget it. I'll go and exchange it with him in person after I leave the cave." He smiled bitterly.
…
Rumble.
A deafening sound was heard.
Countless huge meteorites fell from the sky and hit the surface of the bridge in front.
The bridge seemed to be shaking violently every moment.
It seems like you may fall into the abyss at any time.
There are also many strange-looking birds flying in the sky.
These birds all have huge fleshy crests and a raised tumor in their throats.
They spit fireballs from their mouths and attack every trialist who tries to cross the bridge.
Although the power of this kind of attack is not as strong as that of a meteorite, its speed is much faster and it can catch people off guard.
At this moment, several figures on the bridge were moving quickly, trying their best to avoid meteorites and fireballs, looking very embarrassed.
Several others were recovering from their injuries on this side of the bridge.
Judging from their appearance, they were obviously injured by the meteorite and had to stop temporarily.
Zizai looked ahead and exclaimed in amazement, "Is this the Meteorite Bridge?"
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you are here too." Yun Teng smiled bitterly.
He was Yun Teng, an out-of-body cultivator from the Fire God Valley. He had previously fought with Chu Xuan in the deadly place by the river.
Realizing that he was no match for his opponent, he immediately gave up the fight.
Zizai nodded, "How is the situation?"
Yun Teng shook his head repeatedly, "It's not fair to be objective. Only three people have passed."
"Sang Ling from the Black Gu Cult, Luo Yunni from the Joyful Dao, and Li Lingshu from the Nine Nether Palace."
"The rest of them were not strong enough, and most of them ran out of energy halfway through and had to turn back."
Yun Teng thought for a moment, then whispered, "I learned from the first trial. I also killed a few birds and obtained a few fire beads. But there is nothing to trade with here."
"This fire bead has no other use except for containing a vast amount of fire spiritual energy."
He nodded in understanding.
It is normal to associate the situation of the meteorite bridge with the Yinfeng Valley.
However, Lord Hun Tian set up five trials, and their core rules could not be exactly the same.
The spiritual jade slip that Shang Xingchen gave him only mentioned the core rules of Yinfeng Valley in detail. As for the four trials that followed, there were only four words, which was very brief.
The core rule of this meteorite bridge is just four words: "divert the trouble away."
"Divert the trouble to the east..."
He chewed over these words and stared at the meteorite for a long time, suddenly seeming to be thinking about something.
"I'll go for a walk too."
He stomped the ground hard and flew towards the meteorite bridge.
boom!
The meteorite hit immediately.
These meteorites seem to have life and will not all attack the same person.
Each person is simply targeted by seven or eight meteorites at the same time.
Looking at the meteorite that was hitting him first, Zizai immediately used the Void Stepping Wind and Thunder Technique. His speed increased dramatically at this moment and he dodged it easily.
But less than five breaths later, the second meteorite arrived.
He used the Void Stepping Wind and Thunder Technique again and easily dodged it once again.
Four breaths later, the third meteorite appeared.
This time it won't be so easy.
The escape technique of stepping on wind and thunder is fast, but also consumes a lot of energy. If it is performed multiple times in a short period of time, the spiritual power will fluctuate greatly, which will consume more spiritual power.
When the sixth meteorite hit, Zizai also felt powerless.
Moreover, the fireballs spewed out of the mouths of those strange birds also came one after another.
At this moment, his eyes focused, and he suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the monk next to him.
The meteorite that was heading towards him naturally changed its direction.
The monk was shocked and angry, "What are you doing!"
There was a loud bang.
The two meteorites collided right in the air and exploded into countless pieces!
The fragments flew in all directions, sweeping across the strange bird in the air.
Many strange birds cried out and fell to the ground.
Zi Da clenched his hands and instantly collected the meteorite fragments and the body of the strange bird. He then chuckled and said, "Of course, I'm diverting the trouble away."
The monk looked confused.
A moment later, the seventh meteorite came crashing down.
Zili flashed and approached another monk next to him.
This time, the two meteorites collided again.
Taking advantage of this gap, he accelerated his flight and rushed across the meteorite bridge in one go.
This method of crossing the bridge surprised everyone else.
"I never thought that two meteorites could collide and cancel each other out... Wonderful! It's truly wonderful!"
Yun Teng clapped his hands in approval.
He hadn't expected this at all.
"Holy crap! It's still possible! I can do that too!"
A cultivator who had reached the state of out-of-body experience in Yaoguang Cave Heaven suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
He was full of confidence and rushed onto the meteorite bridge in one stride.
The others also looked over curiously.
He was soon locked onto by five meteorites.
Before the first meteorite fell, he quickly ran towards the next meteorite.
Hoping that the two meteorites would collide, thus defusing the attack.
But the next moment.
Two meteorites passed each other.
He happened to be standing in the middle of the impact points of the two meteorites.
boom!
A violent roar suddenly sounded.
Half of the body of this out-of-body cultivator from Yaoguang Cave Heaven was shattered on the spot.
He was so panicked that he had to abandon his physical body and escape with his soul.
This operation made the other monks sweat on their foreheads.
"Why? Why can he pass but I can't?"
"What's the difference?"
The unfortunate fellow wailed and cried out in pain.
The loss of the original physical body is a fatal blow to most cultivators.
It will be extremely difficult to make further progress in the future.
The other cultivators, including Yun Teng, seemed to be thinking about something.
A light bulb went off in Yun Teng's mind, and he seemed to understand the truth.
There's actually a reason for these meteorite bombardments.
Before a meteorite falls and hits other meteorites, the first thing to do is to remember the various possible falling trajectories of the meteorite.
Thinking of this, Yun Teng immediately stared at the meteorites intently.
After a while, I felt my eyes dry and painful.
These meteorites do not fall naturally, but will track nearby monks.
The falling tracks are as numerous as the stars in the sky!
Yun Teng couldn't help but show admiration, thinking that everyone else thought Chu Xuan had gotten through easily.
But he only now understood that Chu Xuan had actually memorized a lot of falling trajectories in order to pass.
The other side.
Zizai had already reached the other end of the meteorite bridge. After resting for a while, he passed through the gray-black light curtain.
The meteorite fragments and the strange bird corpse are the most valuable things in this second trial.
These meteorite fragments were all broken into pieces by various comets that Hun Tianjun caught.
Although comets do not contain the vast spiritual energy like the stars in cultivation, they do not give birth to original spiritual objects.
But it also hides a very faint trace of the original energy.
In other words, as long as the method is correct, the original energy in these meteorite fragments can be extracted and used to create artificial original spiritual objects!
As for the corpse of the strange bird, the fire bead inside its body is a rare spiritual object with fire attribute.
The meat is also quite delicious.
The spiritual jade slip given by Shang Xingchen specifically mentioned this, saying that this strange bird is called the Fire Bird, and Hun Tianjun likes the spiritual food cooked with the Fire Bird the most.
"This is, Smoky Lake?"
Zizai looked at the misty, red lake in front of him, lost in thought.
Smoky Lake, with hot lava flowing beneath it.
Snow water flows down from the surrounding mountains, pouring onto the lava and producing thick steam.
The lake appears calm, but it is actually full of dangers.
You can't tell which piece is completely cooled rock and which piece is hard on the surface but full of lava.
If you step on empty air, you are likely to be seriously injured.
There was also black smoke everywhere above the lake.
These black smokes contain toxins, and breathing them for a long time will cause spiritual power to stagnate.
In addition, there are the fiery flying fish swimming in the lava and the black and poisonous evil spirits hiding in the thick smoke.
These are extremely terrible dangers.
It can be said that the Smoky Lake is the most terrifying trial among the five trials.
However, there are treasures everywhere here.
With just a casual glance, you can see many spiritual minerals dug out from the lava.
The unique scene of the fusion of water and fire has also become a breeding ground for many spiritual creatures.
But it's strangely quiet here.
There was only the gurgling sound of surging lava.
And the gurgling sound of snow water flowing down.
Besides, you can hear a pin drop.
Zizai also kept silent and moved lightly.
The rule here is to strike back and then strike back.
But Zizai feels that it should be described as a "dark forest".
Anyone who reveals his position first will be attacked most violently and fall into the most dangerous situation.
Just then, a surprised voice came from behind.
"Oh my god, is this the Red Sun Golden Root?"
Zizai's expression changed slightly, and he immediately hid behind a huge rock, holding his breath and concentrating, lowering his voice to the lowest level.
The next moment, more than ten voices roared away.
It was obvious that the evil and poisonous ghosts wandering around in the black smoke had heard the sound.
"Damn...what kind of monster is this!"
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"
The sounds of hippos, surging spiritual energy, and the whistling sounds of spiritual weapons came out at the same time.
In this smoky lake where you could hear a pin drop, it was like a thunderclap.
More and more evil spirits are gathering from all directions.
They let out soul-shaking screams and rushed straight towards the unlucky guy.
After a while, Zizai heard only a scream that suddenly stopped.
The evil ghosts then dispersed contentedly.
Zizai slowly stood up and looked at the unknown surroundings with lingering fear.
If he had not learned about the situation of Tianjun's cave beforehand, he would probably make a sound subconsciously, which would immediately lead to attack.
After being attacked, the monk will naturally fight back subconsciously.
This will only result in the voices being raised higher and higher, leading to more and more violent attacks until death.
However, this may not be a bad thing.
A large number of evil spirits will be attracted by the monks who have just entered the smoky lake.
Then the rest of the place will be safer.
There is no need to be cautious all the time and keep your voice as low as possible.
Thinking of this, Zizai immediately sped up and moved away from the entrance of Smoky Lake.
You must keep a distance from the monks who have just arrived at the third trial.
Otherwise, sooner or later you will be affected.
As he moved forward, Zizai easily discovered many spiritual objects.
For example, blazing fire sand, as the main material of spiritual weapons, can be used to refine high-quality spiritual weapons with a high probability.
Even if it is only mixed with spiritual weapons later, it can greatly enhance its ability to conduct fire spiritual power.
Another example is Xianyang Juice, which can be used as the main ingredient for refining pills and can help cultivators with fire spiritual roots to at least reach the level of earth spiritual roots.
There are also Nine Yang Red Gold Pearls, which are the best quality that can only be produced by giant clams that grow in lava.
This pearl is a natural elixir without the need for any auxiliary materials.
Once one pill enters the stomach, even a mortal without spiritual roots can develop fire spiritual roots.
Fire spirit roots below the best grade can be transformed into the best grade on the spot.
Even if it is an earth-grade fire spiritual root, there is a 30% chance of being promoted to a heaven-grade fire spiritual root.
This Nine Yang Red Gold Pearl has such an effect even if you eat it raw.
If it can be refined into pills, it will have endless uses.
He didn't leave any of them behind and put them all into his Qiankun bag.
"This Nine Yang Red Gold Pearl is truly top-grade, round and smooth, without any flaws. I must take it back and have my Imperial Academy clone refine it into an elixir."
Thinking this way, I continued to move forward and explore my surroundings.
"Um?"
At this moment, he felt the jade slip of spiritual consciousness getting slightly hot. He picked it up and saw that a spot of light was getting closer and closer to him.
"Is it Shang Xingchen or Liudao?"
Zizai seemed lost in thought, hiding behind a huge rock and waiting quietly.
A moment later, a figure arrived here quickly and looked around.
"It's you. Where is Shang Xingchen?" Zizhe appeared and spoke in a low voice.
He lowered his voice almost to the extreme.
It is as small as a mosquito.
Liudao smiled and whispered, "I'm in the east of Smoky Lake, searching for something that might be of great use in the future."
Zizai raised an eyebrow, "Netherworld Mountain?"
Liu Dao shook his head, "Only after passing the five trials can you have a chance to see the Netherworld Mountain."
"There is a Nine Yang Red Gold Pearl inside the Smoky Lake Lava Giant Clam, which is very useful for my cultivation."
"There's also an area west of Smoky Lake that may have a large number of giant lava clams. Let's go there."
"You and your original body should also need the Nine Yang Red Gold Pearl."
He nodded in understanding.
The other party indeed has more detailed information.
However, now that you have told me, it would be disrespectful to refuse.
…
A few days later.
West of Smoky Lake.
Zizai and Liudao each got a few Nine Yang Red Gold Pearls and were all very happy.
Although the giant lava clam is very large, it is very stupid.
It's easy to catch.
Their only means of self-preservation is to release a slow-moving cloud of lava, which is also easily avoided.
After catching them, the pearls in their bodies can be taken at will.
"Well, what's wrong?" Liudao asked in a low voice when he saw Zizai suddenly looking at the black smoke in the distance.
Zizai frowned deeply, "It seemed like someone was spying on us just now, but now he has disappeared."
Liudao immediately became alert and looked in that direction, but saw nothing.
The two did not give up, but searched around very vigilantly, but still found nothing.
But they all inherited the cautious character of the original body.
I immediately decided to go fishing for giant lava clams in another place.
After they left, a figure appeared from the black smoke.
It was Chi Yi.
"Senior, why don't you let me take action?" Chi Yi frowned. "Those two have obtained a lot of Nine Yang Red Gold Pearls. Those things can suppress the Dark Sun Magic Seeds and are already extremely rare outside."
Luan Xing said calmly, "Although these two are clones, their original bodies are one is the new master of the Xuanwu Seal, with the support of the Wanxing Immortal Palace, and the other is Shura's son from the Shura Killing Realm, with the support of that protective old man, the Immortal and Undying Heavenly Venerable."
"Who do you want to offend?"
Chi Yi frowned, "Shurazi? It's not like I haven't killed anyone before."
Luan Xing sneered, "There is a gap between Shura children and Shura children."
"Of course it's okay if you kill an ordinary Shurako."
"But what ordinary Shura child could be swept away by the Ancient Styx River, come back alive, and even secretly sell the water of the Ancient Styx?"
"That day when the Immortal Celestial Lord uprooted the Greedy Giant Tree, he had already remembered Shang Xingchen."
"When someone is remembered by the Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, he will know immediately if he dies, and he can also see who the murderer is."
Luan Xing said meaningfully, "Remember, among the six sects of the Immortal Alliance, no matter who you make enemies with, don't make an enemy of the Shura Killing Realm."
"The difference between a demonic cultivator and a fallen cultivator is often just a matter of a thought."
Chi Yi was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded, "I understand."
"So what should we do?"
Luanxing pointed at the gurgling snow water ahead and said, "Don't waste time on useless things."
"The Nine Suns Red Gold Pearl is precious, but it's nothing compared to the Netherworld Mountain."
"Something's not right up front. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the backdoor left by that old ghost."
"That old guy loves to play this trick in the trial cave."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we can bypass the third and fourth trials and go straight to the fifth trial."
Chiyi nodded and walked straight towards Xueshui.
He expected to crash headfirst into the rock wall.
Unexpectedly, it passed through easily as if passing through a curtain of water!
The heat and high temperature disappeared, replaced by a dark corridor.
It is the "Gallery of Souls".
…
Zizai, Shang Xingchen and Liudao got together, and after obtaining enough treasures in the Smoky Lake, they came to the exit of the Smoky Lake.
From a distance they could see a giant turtle lying there taking a nap.
Flames were rising from the back of the giant turtle.
The body temperature is extremely high.
Even if you are thousands of feet away, you will feel like you are being roasted.
There were several corpses on the ground next to the giant turtle.
It was obviously a monk who had arrived here before them.
But these people obviously didn't understand how to pass, and unfortunately died here.
Sensing a living person approaching, the giant turtle slowly raised its head.
There was a cruel look in the turtle's eyes.
I saw it open its mouth wide, and suddenly a terrible suction force came out of its mouth.
He was going to suck the three of them in together!
In the black smoke in the sky, countless evil ghosts are wandering around.
In the lava not far away, the fiery flying fish kept jumping out and falling back into the lava.
The terrible suction even pulled out the rocks on the ground.
But the three of them just smiled and stood there motionless.
I don't want to use any means of defense at all.
The huge suction force made them get closer and closer to the giant turtle's mouth.
It's like approaching an abyss.
Until it was almost stuck to the giant turtle's mouth.
You can even smell the fishy stench accumulated in its mouth over the years.
The giant turtle suddenly became annoyed and cursed, "Why didn't you react?"
"If you keep doing this, I'll really eat you!"
The powerful suction force disappeared immediately.
The three of them remained silent.
The giant turtle wilted. "Forget it, just go away. Go away. You are too smart."
"The master wasn't as smart as you back then."
"But before you leave, could you please leave your names?"
"At least leave some impression on me, Old Turtle, right?"
"After all, no one has been here for a long time."
"The last time a trial participant came here was over ten thousand years ago..."
The three of them all glanced at the giant turtle, still smiling without saying a word, and then walked straight towards the gray-black light curtain.
Even the way he walked was neither hurried nor slow, and almost no sound was made.
A moment later, the three of them passed through the light curtain and disappeared.
The giant turtle cursed, "These three are so damn boring."
"I'm really not as good as the previous person. I spoke without thinking."
After saying this, it chuckled again, "However, a small incident has occurred in the Blood Demon Cave. If they don't know how to adapt, they will probably be killed by that old corpse."
…
Zizai and the other two passed through the gray-black light curtain, and a bright red scene immediately came into their eyes.
Red sky, red sea.
Although red is festive, if you keep looking at it, you will soon feel dizzy.
This is true for mortals and for cultivators as well.
After all, that red color is produced by blood.
And the blood here naturally cannot be any ordinary blood.
Three people stood on a small island.
It is so small that you can see the edge at a glance.
Looking around, there is no other island within a thousand miles.
"Blood Demon Cave?"
"But it feels different here."
Shang Xingchen frowned slightly.
Zizai said in a deep voice, "The core rule of the Blood Demon Cave is... to go along with the corrupt?"
Liudao nodded, "To go along with the flow means that we must become one with the blood here in order to pass smoothly."
"If you keep rejecting it, you will encounter many obstacles."
The three of them were about to have a conversation first.
But the sea surface began to shake slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a huge tsunami arose from the sea in the distance and rushed towards here.
The tsunami was a thousand feet high.
It can be said that it connects the sky and the earth, and it wishes to destroy everything in the world.
The three people's expressions changed slightly, but none of them resisted.
Since you want to go along with the crowd.
Then you can't resist it.
boom!
Photographed right before the tsunami.
The three were knocked unconscious on the spot and were swept into the depths of the sea of blood.
…
On another small island.
Sang Ling and Luo Yunni stood side by side.
The blood condensed into a delicate baby, giggling softly.
Although the baby was very cute, his tone was very old-fashioned. "How about it, are you willing?"
"You two are quite powerful, and should be the two strongest. I will give you a task. Hunt down other trial participants. For each one you kill and bring back their bodies, you will receive my gift."
"If you miss this deal, it's gone."
Seeing that the two of them remained silent, the baby sneered and wanted to leave.
Both of them said in a deep voice, "We are willing!"
The baby finally nodded in satisfaction, "Okay! Then let's go kill someone now."
"The blood fish will help you."
Luo Yunni frowned, "Do you believe what he said?"
Sang Ling shook his head, "I'm half-believing, half-doubting."
"But if we don't help him, we will die."
Luo Yunni was stunned.
Sang Ling pointed to the waves surrounding the island and said, "Under the surface of the sea there are bloody fish."
"Let's do it. If you obey him now, you can still survive."
…
Zizai woke up leisurely and found himself lying among a group of reefs.
The surrounding area is full of red sea water.
But you can still barely see the sea.
A layer of Styx blood cloud appeared around him.
It was the blood cloud of the Styx released by the Blood Demon Pot that prevented him from being corroded by the surrounding blood.
He also discovered that the blood cloud of the Styx was slowly absorbing the blood outside.
He stretched out his hand and touched the blood outside.
I immediately felt a strong burning sensation on my fingers and quickly withdrew them.
If one were to be contaminated by such blood and water, his entire body would probably be destroyed before long.
"Shang Xingchen is right. There really is something wrong with the Blood Demon Cave. Could it be that the rules here no longer apply?"
Zizai frowned deeply.
After a moment, he relaxed again with relief.
It is unknown how many years have passed since the establishment of this trial cave. After years of changes, some small accidents and changes have occurred inside, which is normal.
If he continues to rely on the so-called core rules, clinging to them without knowing how to change, he will not be able to pass through this Blood Demon Cave.
After moving forward for a while, Zizai encountered a large school of fish.
None of the creatures that can survive in this sea of blood are easy to deal with.
These fish look small, each one is only the size of a palm, but they are extremely ferocious.
The densely packed sharp teeth in its mouth are like cutting machines.
When the fish smelled the scent of living people, they immediately swarmed over.
However, they can come and go freely in the sea of blood, but once they get close to the blood cloud of the Styx, they immediately become like wilted cucumbers and lose their spirit.
As the blood cloud of the Styx turned, all these strange fish turned into blood water and merged into the blood cloud.
Zizai nodded in satisfaction, "Fortunately I have the Blood Demon Pot. It seems that the blood cloud of the Styx is more powerful than the blood water here."
There are such benefits in exploring every path.
No matter what kind of crisis you encounter, you will never be completely helpless.
Not long after he moved forward, another group of strange fish attacked him.
These strange fish are bigger than the first batch.
Each one is the size of an adult's thigh.
Blood spears can also be ejected from the mouth.
Tens of thousands of strange fish spewed out blood spears at the same time, blocking every escape route for Zizai.
However, when these blood spears ram into the blood cloud of the Styx, their speed will drop rapidly.
Then he began to tremble wildly.
In a short while, it was completely refined by the blood cloud of the Styx and completely merged into a part of the blood cloud of the Styx.
After a while, the strange fish scattered like birds and beasts.
Even Zizai was a little surprised.
He knew that after refining a large amount of Styx Blood Essence, the blood cloud in the Blood Demon Pot had undergone a qualitative change.
But I didn't expect it to be so scary.
Even the enemy's blood attacks can be absorbed and refined!
Continue to move forward freely, and collect the spiritual objects you can see everywhere.
All the spiritual creatures in the Blood Demon Cave are, without exception, condensed from blood.
It is even more suitable for the growth of the Styx Blood Cloud.
far away.
Sang Ling and Luo Yunni looked over here from afar with their brows deeply furrowed.
There were many strange fish surrounding them.
It makes them look like the kings controlling the fish.
In front of each of them was a palm-sized conch.
Through the conch, you can see the distant scenery.
Unlike ordinary cultivators, after entering this sea of blood, his spiritual consciousness was greatly suppressed and he was almost blind.
This conch is one of the conveniences they gain by working for the Blood Baby.
Sang Ling frowned, "The blood cloud surrounding this person is very powerful. Fighting him is a waste of time. Let's change the target."
Luo Yunni's eyes lit up, "Why change the target?"
"If we can kill him, all his treasures will be ours!"
"Don't forget, he's only one person, but we have two, and we also have the blood fish in this sea of blood to use!"
Sang Ling's frown deepened. "Luo Yunni, did you intend to steal his essence from the very beginning?"
Luo Yunni chuckled softly, "You saw through it all. The first time I saw him in front of the Tianjun Cave that day, I wanted to steal his Yuan Yang."
Sang Ling shook his head and walked away immediately.
Luo Yunni was stunned, "Don't go!"
Sang Ling said calmly, "That man is not someone who can be killed easily. You are stubborn and I am too lazy to persuade you."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Luo Yunni looked at his departing back and snorted coldly, "Coward! I don't need you, I can do it on my own."
"With my skills and the blood fish, I can kill him with a pile of them!"
…
The other side.
It is very joyful to collect spiritual objects freely.
When it is thrown into the Blood Demon Pot for refining in the future, the blood cloud of the Styx will surely expand a lot.
However, before the situation calmed down for long, a third group of strange fish swarmed in.
This time, the strange fish were bigger and more numerous, covering the sky and the earth.
At least a million.
Being attacked three times in a row, it was clear something was wrong.
He realized that he was most likely being targeted.
He frowned deeply and suddenly shouted, "Come out!"
"Hehehe..." A silver bell-like laughter came.
Immediately afterwards, a group of strange fish surrounded a graceful figure and appeared in front of Zizai.
The woman was dressed in pink, with a plump and graceful figure.
One more look at it makes my heart burn.
It can be said that it is popular among both men and women.
"It's you?" Zizai frowned.
This woman's name is Luo Yunni, and she comes from Huanxidao in the Shura Star Region.
That day, when Tianjun's cave was opened, he met Luo Yunni.
The look in Luo Yunni's eyes at that time made him feel very uncomfortable.
Luo Yunni covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sir, why are you so rude to me? I have always wanted to spend a good night with you."
She blinked her eyes slightly, her gaze moving, full of charm.
Zizai said nothing and directly urged the Blood Demon Pot to spray out more blood clouds from the Styx.
Wherever the blood cloud from the Styx passed, the strange fish that were nearby disappeared in groups.
Just like a snowman under the scorching sun!
The strange fish is also a living creature. Even if it is temporarily controlled by Luo Yunni, it still feels fear and instinctively retreats to a distance.
"Don't retreat! His blood clouds can't be endless!"
Luo Yunni growled and swung the long whip woven from seaweed and coral.
This is another treasure given to them by the Blood Infant.
It is with this thing that she and Sang Ling can control the blood fish.
crackle.
The long whip lashed in the water, and all the strange fish were terrified and could only spit blood spears at Zizai from a distance.
Hundreds of thousands of blood spears shot out at the same time, slamming straight into the blood cloud of the Styx.
However, in Luo Yunni's view, these blood spears seemed to have pierced into cotton and did not react at all.
On the contrary, the strange blood cloud did not decrease at all, but surged even more violently.
Then an expansion.
It actually swallowed up the schools of strange fish that were unable to escape.
It's like a monster that eats people without leaving any bones!
Luo Yunni was shocked and angry.
She had never expected that the other party's blood cloud would be so terrifying.
She had come into contact with at least eight hundred Blood Dao monks in the Shura Star Region.
I have never seen such a terrifying blood cloud!
"Come on, all of you!"
Luo Yunni opened her mouth and sprayed out pink smoke that enveloped the school of fish.
For a moment, the strange fish became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, rushing upwards desperately, completely unaware that they were seeking death.
Even though the blood cloud of the Styx is extremely powerful, it cannot be digested in a short time as so many strange fish have died so madly.
Many blood clouds had to retreat back into the Blood Demon Pot to digest the strange fish.
The area covered by the blood cloud of the Styx naturally became smaller and smaller.
Wait until all the strange fish are swallowed up by the blood cloud of the Styx.
The area it can cover is only three meters around the body.
Luo Yunni chuckled, "I can't hide it anymore."
She flipped her palm and a pink fan appeared in it.
With a slight wave of the fan, countless blood suddenly rolled up and whistled towards Zizai.
Such a large amount of blood rushing towards you is like a herd of giant elephants charging head-on.
Zizai's eyes were calm, and with a thought, a mountain appeared in front of him.
The vast blood was divided by the mountains and turned into two streams.
Luo Yunni refused to give in. She gathered her spiritual power and waved the pink fan again, gathering all the blood around her.
She held the fan in both hands and was about to fan with all her strength.
Suddenly I felt a tingling sensation in my soul.
The next moment, a hairpin inserted in the black hair suddenly broke into two pieces.
Luo Yunni turned around suddenly and saw a strange ghost with four arms standing behind her.
There were four ghost weapons in his hands that were about to fall on his head.
If it weren't for the hairpin magic weapon she was wearing that had the ability to protect her soul, her soul would have been seriously damaged by now!
"Damn it…!"
"When did this Ghost King come here?!"
Luo Yunni screamed.
There is no room for maneuvering now.
At this moment, a small black shadow suddenly rushed out and blocked the attack of the four arms.
When Zizai looked closely, he found that it was a baby girl of two or three years old.
But there is nothing like the innocence of a baby between her brows.
Instead, her eyes were exactly the same as Luo Yunni's charming ones.
"Clone?"
"But this baby girl's body seems to have a close blood connection with Luo Yunni."
Zizai raised his eyebrows.
He seemed to understand.
It is very likely that Luo Yunni practiced a secret technique, gave birth to a daughter, and then split her soul and replaced the baby girl's spirit with her own.
Thus refining it into one's own clone.
The clone created by this method has a closer relationship with the original body.
Almost impossible to betray.
As for the baby girl's soul, it was obviously impossible for her to survive.
Zizai couldn't help but shake his head.
Even if you embark on the path of evil, there will inevitably be things that you despise.
He took out the sky-shading umbrella and said in a low voice, "Two Arms, go help Six Arms too."
"Yes, Second Dad!"
The two arms with a human body and a snake tail rushed out of the sky-covering umbrella, waving the Jiuquan flag, and killed towards the baby girl's clone.
With the second and fourth arms working together, it was only a matter of time to kill the baby girl's clone.
What he needs to do now is to quickly get rid of Luo Yunni.
Seeing the second Ghost King rushing out, Luo Yunni couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She has seen many ghost monks.
Naturally, I know the cost of raising ghosts.
Raising a Ghost King consumes a large amount of souls every day.
If you fail to satisfy the Ghost King's appetite, you will suffer backlash.
This is also the biggest problem of the magic path.
This Chu Xuan, can actually raise two Ghost Kings?
And they are all very strong.
Know how to control ghost weapons!
Seeing these two Ghost Kings, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
"I don't believe you have any other tricks up your sleeve." Luo Yunni growled.
Zizai smiled slightly and said, "You can try it."
Luo Yunni gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand, and a pair of silver bracelets on her wrist suddenly flew out and expanded rapidly.
One on the left and one on the right rushed forward freely.
As Zizai thought about it, four large shields suddenly appeared and blocked his side.
Ding dang dang!
The sound of metal colliding continued to be heard.
The pair of silver bracelets collided with the shield dozens of times in a row, but they were still unable to break it. They only made some dents on its surface.
Instead, the aura on his face gradually dimmed.
Luo Yunni was incredulous and doubtful, "Even a top-grade spiritual weapon can't break this huge shield..."
"This is another top-grade defensive spiritual weapon!"
These four large shields, together with the huge mountain before, are already two top-grade defensive spiritual weapons!
Little did she know that this was the special feature of the Qiankun City spiritual weapon.
All sub-spiritual weapons are connected by formations, and any damage to any sub-spiritual weapon will be borne by other sub-spiritual weapons.
Therefore, even if the sub-spiritual weapon itself has not reached the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon, it can still withstand the attack of a top-grade spiritual weapon.
Continuously using spiritual weapons to attack like this will inevitably lead to the loss of one's own spiritual power.
The frequency of spiritual weapon attacks will soon decrease, and the flaws will become apparent.
Sure enough, a moment later, Zizai seized the opportunity when Luo Yunni's spiritual power was difficult to recover and suddenly attacked.
The Water Gourd and the Fire Tower flew out at the same time.
The drowning soul water and the netherworld fire bypassed the pair of silver bracelets and went straight to Luo Yunni's body.
Luo Yunni's pupils shrank, she screamed, and suddenly stepped back.
He subconsciously activated the only defensive spiritual weapon left on his body to resist.
At the same time, he used the escape technique to escape.
But her escape technique was no match for the free and easy Xu Treading Wind and Thunder.
In less than a few breaths, the drowning soul water and the netherworld fire enveloped Luo Yunni.
It's only a matter of time before you're buried there.
What she is doing now is nothing but a last-ditch resistance.
Luo Yunni's eyes were filled with fear, and her previous charm and confidence were long gone.
"Forgive me… spare my life!"
"You can ask me to do anything! I can be your slave!"
"I know how to make poison, I can make poison for you!"
"I can also transfer my spiritual power back to you through the double one cultivation!"
Zizai chuckled, "Anything is possible?"
Luo Yunni nodded frantically as if she had grabbed a lifeline. "Yes, yes, yes! Everything is fine!"
Zizai smiled even more happily, "Then I'll lend you my body and soul!"
He clenched his hands, and the Netherworld Fire exploded, immediately swallowing Luo Yunni.
A moment later, a scream was heard from the side. The baby girl wailed, and her soul was pulled out by the four arms.
"call..."
Zizai retracted his second and fourth arms into the sky-covering umbrella and exhaled lightly.
Just then, a laugh was heard.
"Trialist, do you desire power?"
Zizai looked suspiciously at the direction where the sound came from.
The blood there actually condensed into the shape of a baby boy.
She looks cute, but her eyes are violent and cruel.
Just looking at each other for a few seconds is enough to make people shudder.
Zizai was thoughtful, "Are you the blood corpse from the Blood Demon Cave?"
The blood baby laughed strangely, "It's me, but I gave myself a new name."
"Please call me Bones."
comfortable,"?"
"Why is it called Bones?"
The Blood Infant chuckled, "Don't you think this is quite a contrast?"
comfortable,"..."
"So, what did you mean by that just now?"
Blood Infant White Bone laughed heartily, "You are very strong, much stronger than this woman!"
"I hadn't noticed it at all before."
"Now I know, you are the one for me."
"Help me kill five trial-takers, take me out, and you will receive my gift!"
"For example, in this Blood Demon Cave, you can use the conch to see distant scenes."
"For example, you can also control the fish here to attack the enemy."
"I can even tell you information about the Soul Corridor."
"I'm quite familiar with that old horse."
Zizai raised his eyebrows.
No wonder Luo Yunni can control the blood sea monster fish.
Is it because of this blood baby who calls himself White Bone?
"Why should I help you?" Zizai said with a half-smile.
He didn't think it was a good thing.
The other party has ulterior motives, and who knows whether it is true cooperation or false cooperation.
He even suspected that this blood baby was no longer bound by the rules of the cave.
The cooperation between me and the other party is completely built on loose soil, but has no solid foundation.
Blood Infant White Bone was very surprised when he heard this, and then he showed his anger, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"Okay, then you will become my nourishment!"
It stretched out its little hand and the sea of blood immediately surged.
At this moment, all the creatures living in this sea of blood heard the call and rushed here.
In a short while, thousands of strange fish opened their mouths wide and swallowed them.
And there were more strange fish following closely not far away.
Obviously, this sea of blood has truly bared its fangs and is ready to swallow the enemy in one gulp!
Zizai took a step back and immediately controlled the Blood Demon Pot to spray out a large amount of Styx blood cloud, surrounding his body.
The blood cloud of the Styx will indeed harm itself.
But the protective shield he formed now did not have the Styx Blood Cloud in the middle.
In this way, the only shortcoming of the Styx Blood Cloud is naturally avoided.
"Come out, let me see your limit." Zizai chuckled and released all the blood clouds of the Styx in one go.
In the few days since he came to the Blood Demon Pot, the blood cloud of the Styx has quietly refined a lot of blood.
As for the strange fish that grows in blood and water, even more can be refined.
Perhaps it is because it has been refined enough.
Gained a deeper understanding of its nature.
The speed at which the Styx Blood Cloud is refining them is getting faster and faster.
He also wanted to know how much blood the Styx Blood Cloud could absorb.
Boom boom boom!
Endless blood and schools of strange fish came overwhelming.
But it was like pouring in a huge sponge.
Whatever comes will be absorbed.
Moreover, after absorbing and refining the blood and strange fish, the blood cloud of the Styx expanded at a rapid rate.
At the beginning, the blood cloud of the Styx was only a tiny part, and compared with the blood in the entire Blood Demon Cave, it was just a drop in the ocean.
But as time went on, the level of the blood sea in the Blood Demon Cave continued to drop.
The blood cloud of the Styx was growing at an extremely fast speed.
A few days later, the Styx Blood Cloud even gained the upper hand!
The blood baby's expression also changed from full of confidence at the beginning to disbelief now.
"This is impossible. What kind of blood cloud is that? Why can it suppress me?!"
The sea of blood in the Blood Demon Cave was extracted from the blood of the "Corrupted Immortal Dragon", a demon beast in the Hedao period.
As for the various strange fish and creatures in the sea of blood, they are condensed from the essence of the blood of the corrupted immortal dragon.
For tens of thousands of years, countless trial-takers have entered this place, but few have been able to pass and reach the Corridor of Soul Return.
I happened to meet such a person today.
The blood method he used could actually suppress the blood of the Corrupted Immortal Dragon!
It's totally unacceptable!
But the offensive and defensive situations seemed to be different.
The blood baby could no longer sit still.
It said timidly, "I'll give you one last chance!"
"Give up resistance and do things for me!"
Zizai's response was just a sneer.
The blood baby was furious, "You're done! Do you know what it means to make me angry?"
Zizai smiled, "What does it mean?"
The blood baby roared, "It means you kicked the cotton!"
"Please take me away!"
"Don't make me say it a second time!"
Zi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "I didn't expect your expression to change so quickly."
He pondered for a moment, "I can take you away, but you have to listen to me."
The Blood Infant gnashed his teeth and said, "Alright, a real man can bend and shrink... I won't bother with you."
Zizai nodded with satisfaction, "Then continue the attack."
Blood Infant was stunned, "Why?"
Zizai, "I want to take away the entire sea of blood."
The blood baby stomped his feet and had to do as he was told.
A few days later.
The entire sea of blood in the Blood Demon Cave was collected into the Blood Demon Pot.
The same is true for the strange fish creatures among them.
Although the sea of blood formed by the blood of the corrupted immortal dragon is not as strong as the blood cloud of the Styx in essence, its quantity is very huge.
If it is completely refined and absorbed in the future, the total amount of the Styx Blood Cloud will surely break through again.
Moreover, there is also a unique existence called Blood Infant.
The power of the Blood Demon Pot will only increase several times!
At this time, Zizai looked around and found that the sea of blood had completely dried up.
He was standing at the bottom of the Blood Demon Cave.
I guess the other monks who came here were all confused.
Where is the sea of blood?
What about such a vast sea of blood?
"Tell me about the situation in the Soul Corridor." Zizai said casually.
The blood baby looked dissatisfied, "I won't tell you that Lao Ma likes to use illusions to tease people."
It is still brooding over what happened just now.
phantom?
Relaxed and thoughtful.
Combined with the fact that the core rule of the Soul Returning Corridor is "unwavering determination", he immediately understood what this fifth trial was about.
The exchange of interests in Yinfeng Valley is the basic ability for the demonic cultivators to grow and develop.
Diverting the disaster of Meteorite Bridge to the east is the best way for the demon monks to avoid disaster and seek good fortune.
Striking from behind the Smoky Lake or the Dark Forest is the only way for the demon monks to survive in the world.
Going along with the Blood Demon Cave is the only way for a cultivator of the Demonic Path to integrate into the Demonic Path.
As for the unwavering determination of this Soul Corridor, it is the only criterion for the cultivators of the Demonic Path to keep their original aspirations and stay firm on the path!
Lord Hun Tian set up these five trials and established these five rules, which was not without purpose.
Those who can truly pass it will definitely gain a lot.
As for the old horse in the Soul Return Corridor mentioned by the Blood Infant, he likes to use illusions to tease the trial participants.
It is not difficult to understand.
All kinds of illusions are one of the easiest ways to break one's mind on Tao.
Thinking of this, Zizai immediately used his escape technique to fly into the air.
After a while, they arrived at the junction of the Blood Demon Cave and the Soul Return Corridor.
There is also a gray-black light curtain here.
When he arrived here, he saw several figures rushing towards this side.
After a while, Shang Xingchen, Liudao, Sang Ling, Li Lingshu and others arrived.
In addition, the out-of-body avatars of Taoist Master Shendu and Taoist Master Qingxie also arrived here.
Shang Xingchen glanced at the blood infant beside Zizai and said in amazement, "It seems that the disappearance of the blood sea is related to you."
He smiled comfortably without saying a word.
When Sang Ling saw Zizai, his pupils shrank and his expression became extremely fearful.
He cupped his hands and said, "I am Sang Ling from the Black Gu Sect. I am honored to meet Fellow Daoist Chu."
Zizai smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."
Sang Ling added, "It seems Luo Yunni is already dead. Daoist friend's strength is indeed impressive."
"I once advised her not to attack you, but she vowed to take your vital energy. Sigh..."
Just smile when you feel at ease.
After listening to their conversation, Li Lingshu's eyes became even more complicated.
Is Luo Yunni from Shura Star Region dead?
Although he had never fought with Luo Yunni, he could tell at a glance that she was a difficult woman.
I didn't expect that he would die at Henry Chu's hands!
This is enough to prove once again how strong Chu Xuan is.
Li Lingshu was dejected. "When he fought me that day, he might not have used his full strength..."
The clone of Taoist Qingxie looked at Zizai with admiration.
The incarnation of the Taoist Master Shendu seemed to be thinking about something and did not say much.
"Let's go?" Liudao said with a smile.
"Walk."
The crowd did not fight for it, and stepped into the gray-black light curtain one after another.
…
He looked around freely.
They were in a dark palace.
There was nothing in the palace.
The ground is also made of black square stone slabs.
If you reach out and touch it gently, you can feel the coldness penetrating into your soul.
The strange thing was that although there was no light source, there was a faint light inside the palace, allowing them to see the scene inside the palace clearly.
Zizai saw that there were twelve doors leading to twelve passages.
I don't know where these passages lead to.
The Blood Infant asked curiously, "Strange, where is Lao Ma? Why didn't he cast an illusion for you?"
Zizai was puzzled. "You mean, the trial-taker has already been under the illusion when he reaches the fifth trial?"
"Yes, I often visit the Soul Corridor. As soon as Old Ma comes, he will cast an illusion on me." Xueying nodded.
Zizai and Shang Xingchen looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
If it is really as Xueying said.
Then something is really wrong with the Soul Corridor this time.
I'm afraid the core rules have also become invalid.
"Let's explore separately."
After Zizai finished speaking, he randomly chose a passage and walked into it, and his figure disappeared.
The same is true for Shang Xingchen, Liudao, Sang Ling, and Li Lingshu.
"Is there any danger in the Corridor of Soul Return?" Zizai asked casually.
The Blood Infant snorted coldly, "You didn't even beg me..."
Zizai glanced at him coldly.
"...I would have told you even if you didn't ask me." The Blood Infant said with a stern face.
"The greatest danger in the Corridor of Souls is Old Horse. He's a two-headed, colorful-scaled horse. He's the best at creating illusions, and he can strike from a great distance."
"Next are the Li Yuan, Mi Die, and Huan Frog."
"Li Yuan is very large, bloodthirsty and ferocious, but it's no problem for you. Every time I visit the Soul Corridor, I will pick up a few to eat."
"Butterflies appear in groups and create illusions."
"The same goes for the phantom frogs, the difference is they're very good at hiding. For example, the broken wall right in front of us is made up of many phantom frogs lying together."
Upon hearing this, Zizai looked forward and immediately saw a broken wall.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like much.
If it weren't for the Blood Infant's reminder, with his powerful soul, he wouldn't even be able to see it.
This really shows how terrifying the phantom frog's camouflage ability is.
The Blood Infant smacked his lips and continued, "Actually, the most powerful person in the Soul Returning Corridor is Old Ma."
After saying that, he muttered, "How strange! Where on earth did the old horse go? It obviously always loves to tease the trial participants."
Relaxed and thoughtful.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse never came out, which must mean that a greater danger is brewing.
He thought to himself, "Let's explore the surroundings first. There are many spiritual objects in the Soul Returning Corridor that can increase the power of the soul. Now that we are here, we can't waste them."
Thinking of this, he looked at the Blood Infant and asked, "Have you been to the Soul Returning Corridor many times?"
Xueying crossed his arms, looking very old-fashioned. "I can't say it's many times, I just come to visit occasionally."
Zizai said, "Then you should know where there are more spiritual creatures."
Blood Baby, "Of course I know, but why should I tell you?"
Zizai said calmly, "I can take you out."
The Blood Infant thought for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll lead the way, follow me!"
It immediately flew towards the distant passage.
Freedom follows closely behind.
The deepest part of the Soul Corridor.
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse was shrouded in countless phantoms, with pain in its eyes. It fell to the ground and struggled continuously.
Directly in front of it was a figure in a red robe.
It was Xue Ziyi's out-of-body clone Chiyi.
Above the red-clothed man's head, a spirit rose into the air, shocking the two-headed colorful-scaled horse.
Countless phantoms are still flying out of the soul and crashing into the two heads of the two-headed colorful-scaled horse.
It was Luanxing's method that caused it so much pain.
Luan Xing frowned. "The spirit of the Colorful Scaled Horse is already powerful, and the mutant two-headed Colorful Scaled Horse is several times more powerful than the ordinary Colorful Scaled Horse."
"I can only control one of its heads and suppress the other, but it won't last long."
"Take this opportunity to find Nether Mountain immediately."
"I can sense it. It's nearby."
Chiyi nodded seriously and immediately chose a passage and flew in.
With a loud bang, Luanxing flew directly into the larger head of the two-headed colorful-scaled horse.
The huge Soul Returning Corridor and countless interconnected palaces and corridors appeared in his mind.
This is also the reason why the two-headed colorful-scaled horse is the most terrifying in this Soul Corridor.
It has almost an omniscient perspective and can see everything that happens in every corner of the Corridor of Souls.
Now that Luanxing controls one and a half heads of the two-headed colorful-scaled horse, he can naturally see the scene in the Soul Returning Corridor.
"They are coming too, and they are coming very quickly."
Luanxing frowned slightly.
He didn't want to waste time dealing with someone who had a backer.
But that doesn't mean he will give up the treasure.
Especially that Shurazi, once he gets close to Netherworld Mountain, he will definitely be recognized by Netherworld Mountain.
"In that case, let's hinder their progress a little."
Luanxing's mind moved.
The horse's eyes, which had been tightly closed due to pain, suddenly opened.
Seven colors suddenly appeared in the horse's eyes.
The next moment, endless illusions flew out from his eyes, flying through the passage at an extremely fast speed, heading straight for Zizai, Shang Xingchen, Liudao and others.
Right now.
Zizai casually put a mushroom-shaped spiritual object into his pocket.
This thing is called Shadow Mushroom, which can be used as an auxiliary material for many elixirs, and almost all of them have the effect of improving the soul.
The blood baby guided him to a ruin where a large number of shadow mushrooms grew.
This was already the twentieth Shadow Mushroom he had collected.
If you leave it outside, you might not even find a single Shadow Mushroom even if you search for a year or two.
At this moment, colorful phantoms suddenly appeared on the wall and approached Zizai rapidly.
Zizai's expression changed slightly, and he immediately used the Void Stepping Wind and Thunder Technique to dodge.
However, the colorful phantom was even faster.
It directly penetrated his body and blasted into his soul!
In an instant, countless illusions flooded into my mind.
The previous moment, he was a wealthy businessman, earning countless spirit stones with just a few clicks of his fingers.
The next moment he became the founding emperor who was feared by all, sleeping on the lap of a beauty when drunk and holding power over the world when awake.
Then he turned into the almighty Lord of Tribulation, and the life and death of hundreds of millions of cultivators depended on his gestures.
In the end, he even ascended to the fairyland, and the birth and death of the realm all depended on a single thought.
Such a scene is hard to resist for anyone.
In the ocean of Dantian, the Fallen Dragon Dharma Seed hummed and turned.
At this moment, his eyes were replaced by dragon pupils.
The appearance of this dragon pupil is an opportunity, a sharp sword to break the illusion.
Self-will immediately takes over.
All the illusions in my mind soon disappeared without a trace.
"phantom..."
"Fortunately, the original master placed a strand of the Dragon-Falling Technique Seed in my Dantian."
Zizai breathed a sigh of relief.
Before setting off, the main body gave him a lot of things.
Qiankun City is just one of them.
The most important thing is actually a breath of the Fallen Dragon Dharma Seed.
The main body has already cultivated the "Taiyin Falling Dragon Breathing Method" to the third level, and has learned the "Destruction Eyes", which can see through illusions, capture souls and shock spirits, and kill one and destroy ten thousand.
Of course, he only had a tiny trace of the Dragon-Falling Technique Seed on him, and the power of destruction was not as strong as that exerted by the original body.
But as long as the illusion can be broken, it is enough.
Zizai frowned deeply, "Who attacked me? The two-headed colorful-scaled horse?"
The Blood Infant shook his head, "Unlike Old Ma, it would never use its abilities so roughly."
"Old Ma has always been particular about people, or rather, about horses."
Hearing this, Zizai couldn't help but think deeply.
If it wasn't the two-headed colorful-scaled horse, then who could it be?
It's impossible that the two-headed colorful-scaled horse is controlled by someone else, right?
When this thought came to his mind, he was suddenly startled.
Very likely!
Rumble.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Something seemed to be rising from the ground.
An extremely cold aura raged like a cold current, instantly spreading throughout the entire Soul Returning Corridor.
Even Zizai could feel the chill penetrating into his bones.
He was not surprised but happy.
Because Shang Xingchen once said that the Netherworld Mountain is full of cold and gloomy air, and once it is born, this kind of cold and gloomy air will appear.
This is obviously a good thing.
At this moment, another blurry illusion came along the wall.
With the experience from last time, Zizai immediately prepared to activate the Falling Dragon Technique to resist.
But this time, a voice came from the hazy illusion.
"Help me..."
"Whoever can help me escape this predicament will be given the supreme spiritual treasure used by Lord Hun Tianjun in the past, as well as his inheritance..."
"Come to the source of the cold and gloomy energy and help me..."
Zizai couldn't help but be stunned.
Instead, the Blood Infant cried out, "It's Old Ma's voice!"
Zizai asked, "Are you sure?"
The Blood Infant nodded. "I often visit the Soul Corridor. It always relies on the fact that it was the mount of the Heavenly Monarch when he was young to bully others and think it is superior to others."
"There's no way I could mistake the sound of it!"
"The old horse has always been very proud and rarely asks for help. He must have encountered a difficult problem."
At this point, it laughed strangely, "I really want to see how miserable Old Ma is now."
Zizai's eyes flashed, "Let's go to the source of the cold and gloomy energy!"
He wasn't the first to hear that sound.
Shang Xingchen, Liudao, Li Lingshu, Sang Ling, Qingxie's clone, Shendu's clone... all heard this voice.
They all put down what they were doing and ran straight towards the cold and gloomy air.
The best spiritual treasure!
This thing is enough to shock people!
The tools used by the cultivators of the Lianxu realm are spiritual treasures.
But not all cultivators in the realm of refining emptiness can use spiritual treasures.
Especially for those who have just entered the realm of refining emptiness or those in the early stages of refining emptiness, they are in a rather awkward situation in all aspects and it is extremely difficult to have a suitable spiritual treasure.
Most of them still use fake spiritual treasures.
Now there is a top-grade spiritual treasure used by Lord Hun Tianjun in the past.
How can this not make people greedy?
There is also the inheritance of Soul Tianjun. Although no one knows what is in it, it is the inheritance left by Tianjun after all.
Maybe it is a hint to perceive the void and comprehend the great Dao.
That was the advice from the Lord of Heaven!
Even if it is just a casual remark, it is likely to give enlightenment to cultivators below the Hedao level.
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts.
For cultivators who have reached the state of out-of-body experience, refining emptiness or even higher realms, anything that contains the great Dao is considered "wealth" in their eyes.
Several figures were running wildly in the Soul Corridor.
The Corridor of Souls is interconnected and is actually like a maze.
In addition, the rock is unique and can suppress spiritual consciousness.
It is almost impossible to use spiritual sense to explore the map in advance.
Even with the guidance of the cold and gloomy energy, it is still common to end up in a dead end.
Shang Xingchen and others encountered this situation.
Having to repeat the path I have taken.
But freedom allows you to move forward unimpeded.
Because he has a blood baby who often visits the Soul Corridor.
In this way, he was the first person to approach the source of the cold and gloomy air.
He ran freely all the way without stopping.
Frost gradually formed on the walls of the corridor ahead.
Later, it was even covered with icicles.
He immediately understood.
Almost there!
Soon, he turned a corner.
A huge space comes into view.
The exit he was at was just an entrance to this huge palace.
There are more than a dozen other exits on the opposite and surrounding walls.
It's like a honeycomb.
He was now on a high place, about three hundred feet above the palace ground.
On the ground of the palace, a giant horse covered with colorful scales was lying on the ground, struggling in pain from time to time.
One of its two heads stood up strangely, as if it was very energetic.
The other one drooped to the ground, dying.
The Blood Infant looked like he was just enjoying the fun, "That old Ma, he always takes advantage of his age in front of me, and now he's finally getting his comeuppance, hahahaha!"
Zizai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your relationship is quite disharmonious."
The Blood Infant snorted, "Of all the guardians of the Five Trials, this one is the most arrogant. Who would dare to get along with it?"
Zizai seemed to be lost in thought. "Do you know Youming Mountain?"
Blood Infant shook his head, "What Netherworld Mountain is? I don't know."
"Lord Hun Tian gave the last trial to Old Ma, and also entrusted all the treasures and inheritances to him for care."
"It's watching very closely, and won't let us touch it."
Zizai added, "Think about it carefully. If you can explain the reason, I will let you absorb some of the Styx Blood Cloud."
The blood baby's eyes lit up.
It had long been eyeing the blood cloud of the Styx.
After hearing Zi's words, he immediately racked his brains and started thinking hard.
It took a while before he suddenly realized, "I remember now!"
"Once, the old horse boasted to us that he actually had two mountains in his head. That was an important task left to him by his old master, more important than his life."
"Only the most powerful trial-takers are qualified to obtain those two mountains."
"It even said proudly that the old master entrusted it with such a task, which showed that he valued it very much."
"I laughed my ass off at that time. If Lord Hun Tian valued it so much, why would he send it to guard a trial cave like this?"
Zi was stunned. "Two mountains?"
He suddenly realized.
Huangquan Mountain and Nixue Mountain are the two magic treasures that were previously taken away by the Taiyin Tower.
Then he also learned that there was a Netherworld Mountain.
That is exactly the magic treasure that Shang Xingchen has been pursuing.
But no one said that there is no fourth or fifth such "mountain"!
"Sure enough, Shang Xingchen has been holding back for a long time. This guy wants to take both mountains for himself." Zizai sneered.
He didn't despise it.
If it were him, he would do the same.
Of course, I should keep such a treasure all to myself.
The so-called sharing is actually a compromise and concession made as a last resort.
The Blood Infant said excitedly, "What are you going to do? I can help! Just give me some of this Styx Blood Cloud!"
"Of course, you still have to take me out, as you promised me before."
He nodded in understanding.
He wanted to wait for a while and then show up again after the rest of the people arrived.
But the spirited head of the two-headed colorful-scaled horse suddenly looked over here and smiled strangely, "Don't hide, come out."
"I have control of this head. I can see everything that happens in the Corridor of Souls."
"That is to say, your every move is under my control."
Zizai raised his eyebrows, but still waited for a while, and only showed up when the other party spoke for the second time.
Because maybe the other party is trying to cheat him.
The original body had done this many times before, so he, as the clone, naturally knew it.
He stepped freely in the air, landed lightly, and looked at the head.
He didn't get too close.
And Qiankun City is floating beside him.
The horse head looked Zizai up and down for a few times, then exclaimed in admiration, "You are just a clone, yet you have such strength. It's truly enviable."
He looked as calm as usual.
Although he is exactly the same as the original, it is not perfect.
People who come into contact with it often can see it.
Even people with a huge gap in strength can see it.
The guy occupying the two-headed colorful-scaled horse is obviously the latter.
"Although your move to shatter the illusion just now was very well hidden, I still saw it."
"If I remember correctly, it should be the Destruction Eye, which is the third move of the Dragon Falling Technique."
"I haven't seen that move in years."
"The last time I saw this move, it was used by Mixian."
The horse head smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in its eyes.
Zizai frowned, "What on earth are you going to say?"
Since this person knew his every move, he would have taken action long ago if he wanted to.
Now I start to reminisce about the past.
I have no idea what he's thinking.
The horse head smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but when people get old, they tend to think about the past."
"Many people used to call me Chaos Star Lord."
"I met your true form once before. I was in Xue Ziyi's body at that time."
"What I want to say is actually very simple. Hand over the Dragon-Falling Seed to me."
"If you keep this top-notch sacred technique with you, it would be a waste of resources."
