In the early morning of the fifth day, as the sky was just beginning to break, an ancient and vicissitudes of life suddenly swept through the entire village.
All the warriors who were practicing or resting were awakened and walked out of their residences.
Gu Sheng Open your eyes.
"It's finally starting."
As soon as he and his companion Ye Jianjia walked out of the room, they felt a familiar spiritual power sweep over them.
Gu Sheng followed the sensor and saw Shen Qingyun looking at him in the open space not far away with a half-smile. Next to Shen Qingyun, stood a middle-aged man, whose face clearly looked like that of Situ Qingfeng, but Gu Sheng could tell at a glance that it was a disguise.
When Shen Qingyun saw Gu Sheng looking over, he raised his hand in front of his neck and made a throat-cutting motion, with a cruel smile on his lips.
At the same time, a voice sounded in Gu Sheng's ears.
"Gu Sheng, the last chance. Whichever of the two of you can bring the other's head to see me, I will spare his life. Remember, this is your only chance to survive."
Gu Sheng's face didn't change, and he just patted Ye Jianjia's shoulder lightly.
"Let's go, the secret realm is opened."
The moment the bloody light door condensed and took shape outside the village, the whole world seemed to tremble.
The red portal was ten feet high, with strange blood patterns flowing on its surface, exuding suffocating pressure and a spiritual energy so rich that it was almost liquefied.
"Is this the entrance to the secret realm?"
Ye Jianjia stood next to Gu Sheng, his slender fingers unconsciously clenching his sleeves.
Gu Sheng glanced across the light door calmly, turning a blind eye to Shen Qingyun's provocative eyes not far away.
"Let's go."
He whispered, taking the first step towards the light door.
"Gu Sheng!"
Shen Qingyun's voice came from behind, with undisguised murderous intent.
"Do you think you can survive in the secret realm with a bottle of oil?"
Gu Sheng didn't stop, and didn't even look back.
Ye Jianjia couldn't help but turn around and glare at Shen Qingyun, which received a disdainful snort from the other party.
The moment the two of them stepped into the light door, Gu Sheng felt the blood in front of his eyes surge, and his body hurt as if it had been cut by countless tiny blades.
This feeling only lasted for a short moment, and the next moment, his feet had stepped on solid ground.
The bloody light dissipated, and what came into view was a vast wasteland. Strange fluorescent plants grow sporadically on the crimson soil, and the air is filled with a faint fishy-sweet smell.
"Jianjia?"
Gu Sheng looked around and found that Ye Jianjia was nowhere to be seen.
He frowned slightly.
"The law of random teleportation?"
He closed his eyes to feel the situation in his body, and sure enough he found that a strange restriction suppressed his energy and mental power to the Spirit Martial Realm peak level. This is consistent with the information previously provided by Situ Qingfeng.
"The detection range of mental power has been compressed to a hundred feet."
Gu Sheng opened his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This kind of suppression might be a problem for others, but for Old Monster, who had explored countless secret realms in his previous life, it was just a piece of cake.
"Spirit fetus, detect the nearby treasures of heaven, materials and earth."
Gu Sheng calls in the heart.
At the dantian, Innate Spirit Embryo trembled slightly, and a response came after a moment.
"Master, there is a strong smell of treasure seven or eight miles to the north, at least a high-grade Xuan-level treasure."
Gu Sheng nodded and headed north without hesitation.
There was silence in the wasteland, except for the slight "click" sound when he occasionally crushed fluorescent plants under his feet.
While walking, Gu Sheng tried to run Nine Dragon Qiankun Art, and was surprised to find that although the total amount of infuriating energy was suppressed, the running speed in the secret realm was nearly 30% faster than the outside world!
"Interesting."
His eyes flashed.
"The aura of this secret realm has a special structure, which may help me break through the Black Tortoise Realm."
At the same time, bloody light flashed throughout the secret realm, and a famous warrior was randomly teleported to different locations.
Most people panicked and checked their own conditions as soon as they landed, and found that they were even more confused after their cultivation was suppressed.
"Why did my cultivation level drop to the Spirit Martial Realm?!"
"Damn, there's something weird about this secret realm!"
"Don't panic, everyone, gather together first!"
Among the noise, only Shen Qingyun was slightly startled after landing, and then quickly calmed down.
He felt the infuriating energy in his body that had been suppressed to its peak Spirit Martial Realm, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Suppress cultivation? Oh, Heavenly Martial Realm's fighting consciousness and understanding of martial arts, can't be restricted by a mere ban?"
He looked around and found himself in a valley. Not far away, a dozen warriors were gathering in twos and threes. Some looked frightened, while others had their eyes rolling around, obviously thinking of something.
"Look, isn't that Shen Qingyun?"
A tall and thin warrior lowered his voice and said to his companions.
"I heard that he was Heavenly Martial Realm strong in the outside world, but now he has been suppressed to the Spirit Martial Realm, maybe."
"Do you want to die?"
His companion hurriedly interrupted him.
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if we are suppressed, they can crush us to death with just one finger!"
Shen Qingyun moved the tips of his ears slightly to hear all these conversations.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Ah!"
A scream sounded out, and the head of the tall and thin warrior flew high into the sky, blood splattering several feet away.
"You"
Just as his companion had time to utter a word, his chest was pierced by Shen Qingyun's palm.
"Who else wants to try?"
Shen Qingyun shook off the blood on his hands, and his cold eyes swept across the audience.
The third warrior who participated in the discussion turned around and ran away, but was cut off by an invisible energy force. His upper body crawled on the ground for several meters before he died.
There was silence in the valley for an instant, and all the warriors looked at this scene with pale faces.
Shen Qingyun shot so fast, they didn't even see how he moved!
"Now, listen up."
Shen Qingyun stood with his hands behind his hands, his voice was not loud but everyone could hear him clearly.
"I want you to do one thing - find Gu Sheng and Situ Qingfeng, take their heads and give them to me."
Seeing everyone's hesitation, he continued.
"If he completes his mission, I can spare his life. Otherwise."
He pointed to the three bodies on the ground.
"This is what happens."
A brave warrior mustered up the courage to ask.
"Senior Shen Chen, it is said that Gu Sheng is also Heavenly Martial Realm. How can we be his opponents?"
Shen Qingyun sneered.
"He is now suppressed to the Spirit Martial Realm like me. There are so many of you, are you still afraid of him?"
After a pause, he added.
"Remember, I only want results. As for what means you use, I don't care."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and finally bowed their heads in response under Shen Qingyun's cold gaze.
"Go ahead, don't make me wait too long."
Shen Qingyun waved his hand, as if chasing away a swarm of ants.
After everyone dispersed, Shen Qingyun took out a blood-colored jade slip from his arms and whispered.
"Situ Qingfeng, you disguise yourself very well, but you can't escape my eyes. This secret realm is your burial place."
At the same time, Gu Sheng had arrived in front of a canyon. Innate Spirit Embryo's induction is getting stronger and stronger, indicating that the treasure is deep in the canyon.
"Huh?"
Gu Sheng suddenly stopped and was keenly aware of the sound of fighting ahead.
He restrained his breath and approached quietly.
In the canyon, two Black Tortoise Realm warriors were fighting fiercely. On the ground between them grew a Ganoderma lucidum emitting three-color light.
"Old Ghost Li, I discovered this three-color Ganoderma lucidum first!"
A big man with a sinister face roared angrily.
"Fart! I was obviously the one who got here first!"
Another skinny old man responded viciously, and a short blade glowing with green light in his hand suddenly changed his moves and swiped across the big man's arm.
"Ah!"
The big man screamed, and the wound quickly turned black. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, losing his breath in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, you don't overestimate your capabilities."
The old man put away his short blade proudly and was about to bend down to pick Ganoderma lucidum when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
A sharp sword energy passed by silently, and the old man's head flew high, with a proud expression on his face.
Gu Sheng stepped out of the shadows, and Severing Wind Ancient Sword returned to its sheath. "
Poison Blade plotted against him, and he deserved his death. "
He commented lightly and put away the three-color Ganoderma lucidum.
As they continued to move forward, Gu Sheng encountered several more waves of treasure hunters. These people were either avoided by him in advance or dealt with by him with thunderous means. As he went deeper into the secret realm, he found that the surrounding plants were getting denser and denser, and the fluorescence was getting brighter and brighter, making the entire secret realm look like a dream.
"Master, there is danger ahead."
Innate Spirit Embryo sudden warning.
Gu Sheng immediately stopped and saw that the ground in front of him looked normal, but upon closer inspection, there were subtle fluctuations in spiritual power.
"Trap?"
He narrowed his eyes, picked up a stone from the ground, injected it with Qi, and then threw it forward.
The moment the stone fell to the ground, the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a deep pit full of spikes, and dark green liquid was boiling at the bottom of the pit.
"Poison Swamp Trap. It seems someone got there before us."
Gu Sheng Avoid the traps and move forward more vigilantly.
On the other side, Shen Qingyun was walking through a swamp with a group of warriors who were forced to surrender. Suddenly, he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
"Senior Shen, what's wrong?"
A warrior asked cautiously.
Shen Qingyun didn't answer, but suddenly slapped the swamp on the left. Wherever the wind passed by, several figures fell out of their disguises in embarrassment.
"Want to ambush me?"
Shen Qingyun sneered.
"You're still a little green."
Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, those casual cultivators turned around and ran away, only to be surrounded by Shen Qingyun's men.
"Spare your life! We just..."
"Senior Shen is so noble!"
Before the cry for mercy ended, Shen Qingyun had already waved his hand.
"Throw them into the poisonous swamp."
Amidst the screams, several casual cultivators were mercilessly pushed into the swamp, and in a blink of an eye, they were corroded by the venom until only their bones were left.
"Did you see that?"
Shen Qingyun looked around at everyone.
"This is the consequence of disobedience. Now, continue to look for Gu Sheng and Situ Qingfeng!"
At the same time, Gu Sheng followed the guidance of Innate Spirit Embryo and walked through a dense ancient forest. The dead branches under his feet made a subtle cracking sound.
Every step he takes is as light as a cat, and his breath is restrained, as if he is one with his surroundings.
"It's right in front."
In the sea of consciousness, Innate Spirit Embryo's voice was as clear as a child's, but it carried unquestionable authority.
After pushing aside the last bush, Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly opened up - a cave half covered by vines and weeds appeared in front of him.
The entrance of the cave is not big, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to discover it without the guidance of the spiritual fetus.
However, Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly condensed.
At the entrance of the cave, a slender figure stood with her back to him.
The man's whole body was covered in a dark gray cloak, with only a section of his snow-white neck exposed. The most eye-catching thing is a palm-sized golden mouse held in her right hand, which is spinning restlessly in her palm.
"Treasure Seeking Mouse?"
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank, and he was secretly shocked.
Although this kind of first-grade monster has no fighting power, it can accurately sense the energy of heaven, material and earth treasures. In his previous life, he had only seen it once when he traveled around. At that time, the Treasure Seeking Mouse was regarded as a treasure by a hidden great master.
"Be careful, this woman is not simple."
The voice of the spiritual fetus sounded in the sea of consciousness.
"There is a mysterious power in her body. Don't fight her unless necessary."
Gu Sheng nodded slightly and was about to retreat quietly, but the woman suddenly turned around.
"Who's there?"
The voice was wary, but surprisingly pleasant.
Gu Sheng knew he couldn't hide anymore, so he simply walked out of the bushes openly, spreading his hands slightly to show no harm.
"People passing by are not hostile."
The woman's face under the cloak was obscured by shadows, but Gu Sheng could feel a sharp gaze sweeping over her body.
The Treasure Seeking Mouse in her hand suddenly stopped moving, and she raised her ears and looked at Gu Sheng warily.
"Passing by?"
The woman sneered.
"You know how to choose a place to pass by in these barren mountains and ridges."
Gu Sheng is unhurried.
"Collecting herbs in the mountains, I lost my way."
"Hmph."
The woman obviously didn't believe it. She turned over her right hand and put Treasure Seeking Mouse into her sleeve.
"No matter what your purpose is, I have discovered the thing in the cave first. If you want to rob it, you have to do it."
Gu Sheng noticed the flaw in her words - there is no three hundred taels of silver here.
The more she emphasized that there was treasure in the cave, the more nervous she became. But Gu Sheng doesn't intend to get entangled. The spiritual fetus's perception ability is not weaker than Treasure Seeking Mouse, so he can look for another opportunity.
"Girl, you are worrying too much."
Gu Sheng slightly arched his hand.
"Since there is an owner here, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Stop!"
The woman suddenly shouted.
"Who are you?"
Gu Sheng stopped for a moment without looking back.
"We meet by chance, so why bother to ask more questions."
"You"
The woman seemed to be choked and spoke again after a moment.
"I'm warning you, I have my grandfather's Heavenly Martial Incarnation on me and other powerful means. If you dare to have any ideas."
Gu Sheng The corners of her mouth were slightly raised. This woman's words revealed an unworldly arrogance. She was obviously a child of an extraordinary family.
He said no more, strode away, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
According to the new guidance of the spirit fetus, Gu Sheng came to a deep mountain stream.
The stream is clear and the cliffs on both sides are as steep as a knife. After walking along the stream for about half a mile, something suddenly opened up before us - a naturally formed stone platform stood abruptly at the end of the stream. On the stone platform, a green spiritual grass grew quietly, exuding a faint halo.
"This is."
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank and he sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose.
The scent of the spiritual grass made his blood boil, and every cell in his body was jumping for joy.
"Never seen it before."
Gu Sheng was extremely accomplished in alchemy in his previous life, but he had no impression of this spiritual grass.
He observed carefully and found that there were fine golden lines on the leaves of the spirit grass, distributed like blood vessels, and there were three crystal-clear fruits like pearls in the heart of the grass.
" After the death of Shapeshifting Great Demon, a spiritual creature nourished by flesh and blood."
The spiritual fetus judged in the sea of consciousness.
