"You are very generous. You give away so many treasures as soon as you want."
Gu Sheng put away the map and token and said calmly.
"They need it more."
"Next?"
"Immortal Descent Realm."
Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"It is said that there is an opportunity to break through to the Concentration Realm."
Ling Xiao licked his lips.
"Just in time to try out my new baby."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned and ran in the opposite direction to the Mu Feng brother and sister.
On the mountain road, Mu Xi turned around frequently until Gu Sheng could no longer be seen.
"Brother, can we still see Brother Gu and the others?"
she asked quietly.
Mu Feng Hold my sister's hand tightly.
"I will definitely do it. When the time comes, I must be someone who can help them."
"Yeah!"
Mu Xi nodded vigorously.
"I will also practice hard!"
On the mountain path, two Dao Body figures quickly shuttled through the forest, their footsteps as light as swallows, but with a bit of haste.
"Senior Brother Gu, will it be too conspicuous if we are traveling like this?"
Ling Xiao lowered his voice and unconsciously touched the storage bag hidden on his waist.
The Profound Grade Peak spiritual weapon "Frost Blade" contained there is emitting weak spiritual energy. If it were not covered with a special magic formula, it would have been exposed long ago.
Gu Sheng looked back at the long mountain road behind him, frowning.
"Luoyun City Lord's eyes are spread over hundreds of miles. We must change our identity disguise as soon as possible."
He patted the sword case behind himself.
"Although I can suppress this 'Crimson Flame Sword' sword energy, I'm afraid if I encounter a monk above Golden Core Stage."
Before he finished speaking, a sheep's cry of "baa baa" suddenly came from the distance.
The two of them were alert at the same time, and quickly gathered their breath and hid in the bushes beside the road.
I saw an old man with white beard and hair, holding a green bamboo stick, slowly driving a group of white sheep from the corner of the mountain road.
Those sheep were all white, but their eyes were filled with a faint Spirit Light. The wind was blowing under their hooves, and they were actually stepping in the air three inches above the ground.
"Spirit Sheep?"
Ling Xiao whispered in surprise.
Gu Sheng hurriedly held his shoulders.
"Don't make a sound! This old man is not simple."
But it was too late.
The old man suddenly stopped and looked straight at where the two were hiding with his cloudy eyes.
"You two little friends, since we are destined to meet each other, why do you need to hide?"
The old man's voice was hoarse but loud, echoing in the valley.
Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao looked at each other and knew that their whereabouts had been exposed, so they had no choice but to walk out of the bushes.
"Junior has offended, please forgive me, senior."
Gu Sheng cupped his fists and saluted, but secretly he was already running his spiritual power, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, his eyes especially lingering on Ling Xiao's waist for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"Profound Grade Peak's cold-attributed spiritual weapon? It's rare. Unfortunately, it's too murderous and not suitable for a kid like you."
Ling Xiao was shocked when he heard this. He had obviously used a secret method to cover up Frost Blade's aura. How could this old man see through it at a glance?
Gu Sheng was also shocked. Crimson Flame Sword in the sword case behind him seemed to sense something and trembled slightly.
"Senior has good eyesight."
Gu Sheng forced himself to remain calm.
"I wonder what you call me, senior?"
"Mr. Yamano, my surname is Bai, everyone calls me Old Man Bai."
The old man tapped the ground with his bamboo stick, and the group of Spirit Sheep immediately formed a circle and lay down obediently.
"You two are in a hurry, but what trouble did you encounter?"
Ling Xiao was about to speak, but Gu Sheng was the first to speak.
"I'm just in a hurry, no trouble."
Old Man Bai stroked his beard and laughed.
"Young people are too wary. The old man has lived for so many years, what hasn't he seen?"
He suddenly lowered his voice.
"Luoyun City Lord sent three Golden Core cultivator to set up cards at the inn thirty miles away to check passers-by carrying high-level spiritual weapons."
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank, and his hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword.
"Who is the senior?"
"Don't be nervous."
Old Man Bai waved his hand.
"The old man just sees that you have good bones and doesn't want you to die on the way."
He paused.
"Although your two spiritual weapons are good, they are too eye-catching. Why not exchange them with the old man?"
Ling Xiao said warily.
"Senior, do you want our spiritual weapon?"
Old Man Bai shook his head and smiled.
"No, no. The old man has two Profound Grade Peak spiritual weapons that are more suitable for you. In exchange for them, we will treat them as a good relationship."
Gu Sheng was shocked and confused. Profound Grade Peak spiritual weapons are already rare in Cultivation World. How could this old man easily exchange two of them?
And it was really strange that he took the initiative to help them even though he knew they were being hunted.
As if sensing his doubts, Old Man Bai took out a simple wooden box from his arms and opened it gently.
Two spiritual weapons lay quietly in the box.
A sapphire finger ring and a silver wire bracelet.
"This 'Azure Spirit Ring' can help wood-attribute monks communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and this 'Star Brilliance Chain' can increase the power of the stars."
Old Man Bai introduced.
"Compared to your two murderous weapons, they are more suitable for hiding your identity."
Ling Xiao stared at the sapphire finger, desire flashed in his eyes.
He majors in wood-based skills, and this spiritual weapon is indeed more suitable for him than Frost Blade.
Gu Sheng is still worried.
"Senior, why do you want to help us?"
Old Man Bai put away his smile and looked up at the darkening sky.
"The sky is changing. The old man just hopes that young people with potential can seize the time to improve their cultivation."
he said meaningfully.
"When the time comes, save some face for Xinghong Spirit Domain."
This sentence made the two of them stunned at the same time. Heavenly Dao Curse is the biggest secret of Cultivation World. Only monks who have reached a certain level will know it.
How could this seemingly ordinary old man driving sheep say such a thing?
Before they could ask further questions, Old Man Bai had already thrust the wooden box into Ling Xiao's hands.
"Take it."
Gu Sheng also wanted to say something, but saw Old Man Bai turning around and waving his bamboo stick. The group of Spirit Sheep immediately stood up and followed the old man to the other end of the mountain road. The strange thing is that with every step they took, their figures became blurred, and within ten steps, they completely disappeared into the dusk.
"This"
Ling Xiao held the wooden box and was stunned.
Gu Sheng Take a deep breath.
"We have met an expert. At least Nascent Soul stage, maybe even..."
"What is it?"
"Nothing."
Gu Sheng shook his head, took the wooden box and inspected the two spiritual weapons.
"Try it first to see if it works."
Putting on Ling Xiao, you can immediately feel the surging wood spirit energy flowing into your meridians, which is several times smoother than when using Frost Blade.
Gu Sheng also found that Star Brilliance Chain fit perfectly with his Star Cultivation Technique.
"It seems that Old Man Bai didn't lie to us."
Ling Xiao said happily.
Gu Sheng frowned.
"That's why it's even more strange. Why does he know us so well? What does the phrase 'save some face for Xinghong Spirit Domain' mean?"
Ling Xiao scratched his head.
"Could it be related to Heavenly Dao Curse? Master once said that high-level monks are looking for a way to crack it."
"Be careful!"
Gu Sheng hurriedly stopped.
"This is not something we can discuss."
He looked in the direction where Old Man Bai disappeared.
"The top priority is to get to the Immortal Descent Realm as soon as possible. With these two spiritual weapons, we are more certain of passing the inspection."
The two immediately decided to abandon the original Frost Blade and Crimson Flame Sword, bury them deep under an ancient tree, and continue on their way with only the new spiritual weapons.
The night is getting darker and the mountain wind is howling.
Gu Sheng looked up at the sky from time to time, always feeling that after Old Man Bai's words, even the arrangement of the stars became unusual.
"Senior Brother Gu, look!"
Ling Xiao suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed.
After passing through the last forest, the view suddenly opened up. Cloud Sea During the tossing, a mountain peak shrouded in colorful rays of light loomed. There are countless ancient runes floating around the mountain peak, sometimes turning into birds, sometimes condensing into the shape of lotus, which is very mysterious.
"Immortal Descent Realm"
Gu Sheng murmured, his eyes reflecting that dreamlike light.
Leading to the mountain peak is a rainbow bridge condensed by spiritual energy. At the head of the bridge stand two stone tablets with ancient texts engraved on them.
"Once you enter the fairyland, it is limited to a hundred days; if the spiritual tide does not come, you will never be able to return."
Ling Xiao swallowed.
"You can really only enter but not exit."
Gu Sheng holds Star Brilliance Chain tightly and feels the warm power coming from it.
"The path of cultivation is to go against nature. If you don't even dare to take this risk, how can you make a breakthrough?"
"Brother, look at those trees!"
Ling Xiao pointed into the distance, his voice trembling slightly.
Gu Sheng Looking along his gaze, he saw a group of towering ancient trees standing on the horizon. Each tree was hundreds of feet high, and the trunks were so thick that dozens of people needed to hug them.
The canopy Shrouding the Heavens blocks the sun, and the leaves are as big as houses, glowing like emeralds in the sun.
What's even more amazing is that from time to time there are flashes of light between the branches and leaves of these giant trees, which is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that is so rich that it is almost substantial.
"No wonder Immortal Descent Realm is a holy place for cultivators."
Gu Sheng I suddenly felt like my internal organs had been washed.
"The concentration of spiritual energy here is at least ten times that of the outside world!"
Ling Xiao nodded excitedly.
"Brother, let's go there quickly! There must be more opportunities under those big trees!"
Gu Sheng shook his head and scanned the surroundings warily.
"Look over there."
On the edge of the forest of giant trees, dozens of Dao Body shadows were vaguely visible, some flying with swords, some controlling magic weapons, and some walking directly through the air - these were all cultivators of at least Golden Core Stage or above.
"There are too many people."
Gu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"We are new here, and we have secrets, so we shouldn't have contact with too many people."
Ling Xiao Although he is unwilling to do so, he also understands his senior brother's concerns.
They are "Gu Sheng" and his accomplices who are wanted by the Six Holy Lands. Once their identities are exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Then where are we going?"
Ling Xiao asked.
Gu Sheng closed his eyes for a moment and pointed to the southeast.
"The spiritual energy fluctuations there are weaker, but the advantage is that there are fewer people. I vaguely saw a bamboo forest, which should be a secluded place."
The two men immediately stood up with their swords and flew in the direction pointed by Gu Sheng. As the distance gets closer, a lush green bamboo forest gradually appears.
This bamboo forest is also huge. Each bamboo is as thick as a water tank and is as high as a hundred feet. The bamboo leaves are as big as small boats. When they sway in the wind, they make a roaring sound like waves crashing on the shore.
"What a huge bamboo forest!"
Ling Xiao exclaimed.
"If this were in the outside world, any piece of bamboo could be used as a pillar!"
Gu Sheng frowned.
"Strange, this bamboo forest looks inaccessible, but I always feel like something is wrong."
Just as the two were about to fly into the bamboo forest, Gu Sheng suddenly grabbed Ling Xiao.
"Wait!"
He was keenly aware of several weak aura fluctuations at the edge of the bamboo forest. Although the other party deliberately hid it, Gu Sheng's spiritual consciousness was able to capture the clues after special training.
"Is there anyone?"
Ling Xiao immediately became alert.
Gu Sheng nodded.
"There are more than one, and their cultivation is not weak. It seems that this bamboo forest is not as quiet as it appears."
The two looked at each other and decided to bypass those auras and enter the bamboo forest from the other side.
When they passed through the layers of bamboo leaves and landed deep in the bamboo forest, they discovered that the bamboo here actually showed a light purple color, and there were naturally formed runes on the bamboo joints, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"Is this. Purple Spirit Bamboo?"
Ling Xiao stroked the bamboo trunk in surprise.
"The legendary Spiritual Plant can help people realize enlightenment!"
Gu Sheng also looked happy.
"It looks like we picked the right place.
This bamboo forest is so large that even if there are other cultivators, it is difficult to meet them. We can just practice here for a while. "
Just when the two were about to find a suitable place to practice, Gu Sheng suddenly changed his face and looked up at the sky.
"Not good! Someone is scanning this area with their spiritual consciousness!"
Ling Xiao immediately became nervous.
"Are they the ones chasing us?"
Gu Sheng looked solemn.
"I don't know, but this spiritual consciousness is terrifyingly powerful, at least for masters in the late Nascent Soul stage! Quick, restrain your breath and hide under the bamboo leaves!"
The two quickly concealed themselves, and at the same time Gu Sheng took out a talisman from his arms and crushed it, forming a barrier to isolate his spiritual consciousness.
The moment the barrier was formed, a huge thought passed over their heads. Although it paused for a moment, they were not found in the end.
"Huh——"
Ling Xiao took a long breath.
"Almost discovered."
Gu Sheng frowned.
"Something's wrong. This consciousness is full of violence and hatred. It seems to be searching for something. Has our whereabouts been exposed?"
At the same time, from another entrance of the Immortal Descent Realm, a Dao Body shadow emerged from the sky, it was Luoyun City Lord.
His eyes were red, his face was distorted, and his whole body exuded suffocating murderous intent.
"Gu Sheng! I will cut you into pieces!"
Luoyun City Lord looked up to the sky and roared, the sound causing the surrounding rocks to crack.
He suddenly opened his consciousness, searching for any suspicious aura.
As a strong Great Perfection Nascent Soul, his consciousness is enough to cover a hundred miles in radius, and no slight fluctuation can escape his perception.
"Huh?"
Luoyun City Lord suddenly turned his head and looked to the east.
"There are people with spiritual power fluctuations from the Six Holy Lands over there?"
He snorted coldly and disappeared in a flash. After a few breaths, Luoyun City Lord appeared above an open valley, looking down at a dozen young monks in purple robes below.
"Who!"
The leading young man in purple robe shouted sharply, raised his hand and slashed a purple sword energy into the air.
Luoyun City Lord waved his hand casually, and the sword energy that was enough to kill Golden Core cultivator was shattered.
He looked down at these young people with disdain in his eyes.
"How dare a mere junior take action against me?"
Just when he was about to teach this group of young people who knew nothing about the sky and the earth, his eyes suddenly fell on the badge on the chest of the leading young man - it was a pattern of a purple sun reflecting the nine heavens, the logo of Zixia Holy Land!
Luoyun City Lord's pupils shrank, and his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
