For example, after Li Wuyi's group flew up and found the sect all the way, Qiu Zhongnuo actually saw them and witnessed these people flying away, but he regarded them as normal Wangliang Sect disciples...
After Qiu Zhongnuo left Wangliang Sect, he began to travel around the world, hoping to find his own destiny in the process and further improve his cultivation.
After reaching Body Integration Realm, it would be extremely difficult to improve even an inch. This was the main reason why he went to Yellow Springs City. From there he could communicate with other ghost cultivators and obtain Yang Realm's rare training materials.
Under normal circumstances, it is quite difficult for a monk to find an opportunity. Some people spend their whole lives in vain, but in the end they can only end up doing nothing...
However, after traveling for decades, Qiu Zhongnuo accidentally obtained a broken Jade Slip in a small market. That Jade Slip recorded some wild history about the "Dim Heaven Dark Earth" wilderness.
Most of the things described in it have been widely circulated in the outside world about "Dim Heaven Dark Earth". There are only one or two things among them that even with Qiu Zhongnuo's experience, he has never heard of them.
The reason why he bought this Jade Slip was because there was a passage in one of the recorded events that made him discover a secret.
That is to say the names of some forces that may have existed in the "Dim Heaven Dark Earth" wilderness. Since Jade Slip has been damaged, only a small part of the recorded content has been retained.
Moreover, the describer also said at the beginning that it was Duchai. Among the four names of the forces left in Duchai, Qiu Zhongnuo discovered the name of the sect called "Qingmian Sect".
This immediately made Qiu Zhongnuo pay attention to it. He didn't know how well others knew about this sect. However, in his memory and understanding, there was only one record of this sect in his own sect's classics.
The reason why Qiu Zhongnuo pays attention to it is that his sect's classics say that "Qingmian Sect" is also a ghost sect, and it is a powerful ghost cultivating sect.
This sect has many powerful ghost cultivation techniques, but the most shocking thing is that this sect is good at cultivating a kind of ghost called "Seven Spirits Mist Roar".
The cultivation process of this thing is quite long, but once this kind of ghost is successfully cultivated, it will actually have the strength of the Body Integration Realm. It is basically the most precious treasure to suppress the sect. It is a method that some ghost sects may think of to strengthen their sect if they do not have powerful monks to guard them.
"Seven Spirit Mist Roar" also has a more powerful effect, but this effect only affects ghost cultivators.
That is, if this ghost can be cultivated, once a ghost cultivator can successfully perform a blood sacrifice, the "Seven Spirit Mist Roar" can be integrated with the main body Nascent Soul, which can at least help the monks break through a small realm, or even a large realm.
Therefore, it has a great effect on monks Body Integration and Bandit Cultivator. Because the cultivation level of monks below Body Integration Realm is too low, they cannot use the blood sacrifice to refine it. In that case, the "Seven Spirit Mist Roar" will definitely turn against the guest and turn the monk into a puppet.
This item is also of some use to monk Mahayana Realm, but monk Mahayana is too powerful. To be effective, at least four "Seven Spirit Mist Roars" are needed to be effective.
Even if it is to cultivate a "Seven Spirit Mist Roar", I don't know how much heaven and earth treasures will be consumed, but once it is successful, the sect will have one more Body Integration Realm terrifying ghost.
A first-class sect can only dare to cultivate one in stages, such as tens of thousands of years. No matter whether it is successful or not, it will need to rest for a long time before it has the strength to try to cultivate it again...
This ghost is often used for blood sacrifice fusion, which is used by the Body Integration Realm ghost cultivators to break through to a large realm, or used by the Tribulation Transcendence Realm monks to improve a small realm.
It is precisely because of this huge temptation that the monks of the Night Walk Sect have inquired about the "Qingmian Sect" for generations, but they have never been able to find the whereabouts of this sect. The result is that the "Qingmian Sect" has long been annihilated in the long river of time...
However, Qiu Zhongnuo found a record about the "Green Face Sect" on the broken Jade Slip. This sentence would have no effect on monks from other sects, even if they just saw it.
And when it fell into Qiu Zhongnuo's eyes, as soon as those words entered Divine Sense, there was undoubtedly a burst of lightning and thunder in his heart, which shook his mind!
He immediately studied the Jade Slip carefully, but the result was that except for that sentence, there was no record of the "Qingmianmen".
However, Qiu Zhongnuo did not find anything new. Through the material of this broken Jade Slip, he finally concluded that this Jade Slip has a long history and was not burned by today's monks.
Combined with other records about "Dim Heaven Dark Earth", Qiu Zhongnuo guessed that this may be after the formation of "Dim Heaven Dark Earth", which will not exceed the appearance of Jade Slip in a hundred thousand years.
At that time, there were still many relatively accurate records about "Dim Heaven Dark Earth". Unlike now, thousands of years have passed and the information that can be preserved is either lost or collected by some sects and is no longer easily spread out.
So from this point of view, the credibility of this Jade Slip is still relatively high, especially the sect names burned on it, Qiu Zhongnuo thinks it is very valuable.
Although Qiu Zhongnuo had only heard of the "Qingmian Sect" based on his experience, this did not prevent him from inferring that these names were not made up by anyone.
After making these judgments, he immediately decided to go into "Dim Heaven Dark Earth" to investigate. His first purpose was to find the "Qingmianmen" and see if he could find any skills there?
As for the "Seven Spirit Mist Roar", Qiu Zhongnuo wanted to get its cultivation method the most, but that was almost entirely a luxury wish. It would be nice to get one of its techniques, but it was always a hope, wasn't it?
The "Green Face Sect" technique is an ancient ghost cultivation technique. For a ghost cultivator, it is a priceless treasure. As long as Body Integration Cultivator can learn from it, his cultivation level may be improved.
Just thinking about such a thing made Qiu Zhongnuo unable to suppress the joy in his heart. Almost as soon as he had the idea, he immediately set off for "Dim Heaven Dark Earth".
And as soon as he entered this wilderness, year after year, all he got was that sentence, and there were almost no useful clues.
Trying to find a sect that seems to be missing in the vast wilderness is almost the same as finding a needle in a haystack.
But Qiu Zhongnuo was determined to find out before giving up. Otherwise, after Ye Xing Sect lost the resource support of Yellow Springs City, if he wanted to improve with his level of cultivation, it was a matter of two minds whether he would have hope in this life.
He didn't want everything to depend on God's will, so that if God favored him, he would be able to pass the exam, otherwise he would die of old age at the Body Integration Realm, slowly watching his lifespan run out.
In the wilderness, Qiu Zhongnuo relied on his powerful cultivation and the unique detection methods of the Ghost Sect to start looking for that glimmer of light.
Although he cannot cast spells, he can sacrifice different ghosts. There are various types of ghosts in his spirit storage bag.
In the end, he unexpectedly found a place that was suspected to be the "Qingmian Sect", which is the dilapidated sect where Li Yan is now.
But at that time, Qiu Zhongnuo couldn't be sure, and after he searched here day and night, the results made him more and more disappointed.
In a place where a sect was once established, except for a ruined tower that still retains one and a half floors, the rest of the place is completely in ruins and rubble.
Even if he did not hesitate to expend Divine Sense to explore every piece of rubble in the ruins, just to see if there were any scraps of records on it.
If there is a section of the technique that would be the best, otherwise it would be fine to get some information through the remaining writings and confirm that this is the "Green Face Gate".
But even after such careful investigation, there was no good result. The fundamental reason is that "Dim Heaven Dark Earth" has existed for too long.
If there were any suspicious handwriting or clues here, they had been searched out by generations of monks. How could they be left alone with him?
Qiu Zhongnuo was able to cultivate to the level of the Body Integration Realm. Qiu Zhongnuo had a very tough mind. Since he had doubts, he simply stayed here and continued to use various methods to further investigate.
This exploration lasted for decades, Qiu Zhongnuo worked around the clock, and he had encountered almost all kinds of weather conditions in "Dim Heaven Dark Earth".
And in similar environments, he used different methods to investigate again and again, hoping to get different results. His perseverance was so strong that it was almost crazy...
During a storm, after Qiu Zhongnuo released a ghost again, he looked up and saw thunder and lightning flashing continuously in the dark clouds in the distant sky.
Suddenly an idea came to his mind, couldn't he borrow the power of heaven and earth? That was to trigger the thunder and lightning from the sky to strike all the places here.
This idea seemed extremely boring, but Qiu Zhongnuo felt that maybe he could get a different result. After all, he had almost exhausted all the means he could use here.
Without the power of the laws of heaven and earth available, he could not use 80% to 90% of his methods. Perhaps his previous tests were just a little less powerful...
It was Qiu Zhongnuo's sudden idea that made him discover a secret, a secret that surprised him!
Since it was a rainy day and Qiu Zhongnuo was familiar with the roads, he placed himself in the ruined tower first, so it was impossible for him to consume a lot of mana for no reason.
He sat in the ruined tower, released a ghost into the rain, and then drove the ghost to run quickly with his thoughts...
Qiu Zhongnuo has lived in "Dim Heaven Dark Earth" for so many years and has long been familiar with those thunder and lightning. He knows that when there is a creature running in the rain, and the speed exceeds a certain limit, it will attract thunder and lightning to follow.
And at some point that day, his luck also appeared. Although he wanted to use the power of thunder and lightning from the sky and the earth to destroy the ruins of the entire sect.
But at the beginning, of course, he still wanted to see the situation with his own eyes, so the place he chose was undoubtedly around him.
That way, he could see the results of the test first while saving Divine Sense, so the ghost was driven by him to run wildly in the rain.
When the speed reached a certain level, thunder and lightning were indeed attracted to pursue and kill them. The ghost was very afraid of thunder and lightning, and kept running desperately in fear.
At first, except for a series of terrifying thunder and lightning behind the ghost, Qiu Zhongnuo didn't find anything.
Soon, the ghost was running further and further away. It was a bit troublesome for Qiu Zhongnuo to observe, so he mentally ordered the ghost to start running back, but it was not the same route it had run before.
The main thing is to shrink in circles and circles and run around the broken tower, so that he can be observed more easily inside the tower.
Under this condition, the ghost could only be in fear, and kept running wildly in the rain as ordered, with a stream of blue sparks set off behind its butt...
For the first four or five rounds, except for the roaring thunder and the crackling of sparks, there were no other strange phenomena.
Qiu Zhongnuo also didn't have much reaction to this. He had already experienced countless disappointments by using similar means to investigate. Naturally, such a result would not surprise him.
However, just as the ghost shrunk once more and ran again, Qiu Zhongnuo, who had been constantly sensing the surroundings, suddenly felt that a sinister wind was rising around him at a certain moment!
Qiu Zhongnuo was a powerful ghost cultivator and was very sensitive to this. He immediately stood up, but the moment he stood up, a large number of ghostly ghosts appeared on the walls of the ruined tower.
Just when Qiu Zhongnuo was stunned, those ghostly ghosts rushed toward him one after another. Qiu Zhongnuo woke up in the next moment. Not only did he not have any panic, but he was instantly filled with a deep joy...
The number of these ghostly ghosts that pounced on him was very large, and their attack power was not weak, but to Qiu Zhongnuo, who was well versed in ghost ways, this was nothing at all.
He just suddenly released his magic power while he was running. The ghostly ghost that was originally charging toward him with a ferocious expression suddenly flashed past Qiu Zhongnuo as if he had encountered an extremely terrifying existence.
Their cries of ghosts and howls of wolves also turned into sharper howls, and their expressions all turned into fear and terror, as if they were afraid of snakes and scorpions!
Qiu Zhongnuo ignored this. He had seen more than tens of thousands of ghosts. Seeing those ghosts trying to avoid them, he did not kill them, but began to look for the formation's eyes.
So wherever he went, a large area immediately became vacant. In just a short while, Qiu Zhongnuo's eyes lit up, and a burst of ecstasy arose in his heart.
After all, he is a super strong man of the Ghost Sect, and he is quite knowledgeable. He has already seen the origin of this formation, which is an ancient formation of the Ghost Sect called "Dazheng Ghost Formation".
Although this formation was created a long time ago, it has been passed down. Some ghost sects have methods for refining this formation. Overall, it is quite rare. It can be regarded as a core secret of the sect's formation that cannot be passed on to others.
The Yexing Sect where Qiu Zhongnuo is located has records about this formation. Since this formation can be traced back a long time ago, and each ghost sect has a different inheritance Dao Path, this formation has certain differences between different ghost sects.
But no one can say that their mastery of this formation is the orthodox inheritance. They can only say that they are essentially the same, but each has its own differences in the detailed control.
This is also the reason why Qiu Zhongnuo did not recognize this formation at first sight before. The appearance of this formation means that the record he saw on the broken Jade Slip is true!
This is really the place where the "Qingmianmen" is located. He has really found the ruins of the Ghost Sect, which means that all his years of hard work have not been in vain.
The more important thing was the meaning of the "Dazheng Ghost Array", which made Qiu Zhongnuo's heart almost beat out, and he couldn't wait to break this array.
After seeing the origin of this formation, Qiu Zhongnuo went to look for the formation eyes, and felt much more relaxed. Although the "Dazhao Ghost Formation" in front of him may be the most primitive ancient refining method, the essential difference should not be big.
Qiu Zhongnuo followed the method he knew and began to calculate the direction and search. Sure enough, after only a short while, he sensed the location of the formation eye.
He still walked towards those ghostly ghosts, and just when he was about to try to use his magic power to attack somewhere on the ground, a sudden change occurred.
Without any warning, powerful suction forces emerged from the surrounding tower walls, continuously sucking in the surrounding ghosts and ghosts.
Those ghostly ghosts immediately made unwilling sounds, and while making sharp hisses, they tried desperately to break free and pull out of the wall again.
But they couldn't do it at all. In Qiu Zhongnuo's shocked eyes, those ghosts quickly disappeared into the wall one by one.
The fluctuations of the surrounding formations also disappeared completely at a speed visible to the naked eye, and only after a few breaths, the first floor of the tower door was revealed again on a tower wall on the side!
