Phoenix Corpse

"Senior Sister Chi, Senior Sister Chi!"

In the induction, Chi Pengpeng and others gradually pulled away from her. Ruan Ci called twice, and seeing that Chi Pengpeng did not approach, she knew that she was the same as herself, and could not use energy to resist while falling, so she stopped shouting, lest she attract attacks. Entering a dangerous place for the first time, naturally, one should be careful everywhere. She buckled the Spiritual Flower Jade Wall in her palm, ready to release sword energy at any time.

In the strong wind, the falling momentum gradually stopped. Ruan Ci did not dare to land on the ground, and hovered in mid-air, looking down at this place, but saw that everything around was thick black, although it was sunrise outside, but there was no light here at all. The ground was dark red, with many gullies and wrinkles.

Ruan Ci took out a small piece of spiritual jade from the Universe Bag at will and threw it to the ground. Only a flash of spiritual light was seen, and the light green spiritual jade smoked white. Green miasma emerged from somewhere in the wrinkles of the ground, thick as if it were water. She couldn't help but frown slightly: It seems that there is also Green Jade Miasma here, and the miasma is thicker than outside. But it can be faintly sensed that the ground is stone, and everyone was not captured and eaten by any living creature, but fell into a secret realm.

Looking back at where she came from, it was already a thick black, and wanting to fly back was almost no longer possible. Ruan Ci pasted a Miasma-Avoiding Talisman on her body, and recited the Body Purification Spell, Miasma-Avoiding Spell, Heaven and Earth Purification Spell, Mouth Purification Spell, etc., closed her eyes and sensed the surrounding aura, only feeling that the spiritual flowers were rolling here, and wanting to find a specific aura was extremely difficult. She thought to herself, "Whether it is Panpan or Tianlu, they did not mention that Huang Shoushan has such a secret realm. Is it because no one has entered before? Or is it because most of the people who entered died here."

If it is said that no one has entered before, it is somewhat unreasonable. The Demon Sect disciple clearly intended to lead her to this place. Ruan Ci was more inclined to believe that this is a secret realm discovered by the Demon Sect. Except for the Demon Sect, the foreign cultivators who came here have all died. In this way, the Demon Sect disciple led them here, also with the idea of exterminating them all here, and not leaving a single survivor.

Such a dangerous situation could not shake Ruan Ci's mind. She was just curious about how the Demon Sect disciple could track them in this secret realm. The Demon Sect is also a cultivator, and the Green Jade Miasma will also affect them. It is not easy for them here either. Being sucked into this secret realm, the place where everyone fell is not necessarily the same. How does that devil intend to find people? Is he practicing the Heavenly Demon Induction Method? If not, the spiritual machine is so chaotic, how can he be sure to find the enemy's trace?

Or, is he mastering the way to leave? Wanting to trap a few people in this secret realm and come back to collect the corpses after a few years? After all, the spiritual flowers here are chaotic, and it has exceeded the limit of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to straighten out the spiritual energy. Everyone cannot get supplements here, and can only draw spiritual machines from spiritual jade, and the Green Jade Miasma here is so thick, after the Miasma-Avoiding Talisman is used up, they can only hold the spell to resist, and the consumption of spiritual machines is doubled. Everyone cannot support it for long.

This Demon Sect disciple is also a rare opponent among his peers for Ruan Ci. Since she practiced Dao, her cultivation has always been the first among the same level. After Foundation Establishment, she has also seen many immortal children through various channels. She thinks that the fifth Cang is not a one-move enemy if he fights with her. Even the flourishing sect disciples are like this, so why mention others? This Demon Sect disciple is the first opponent to have the upper hand in the confrontation. He didn't even show his face, and quietly planted magic thought seeds among the fellow travelers. If she and Chi Pengpeng were not careful people, I'm afraid they wouldn't know until last night that they were actually in a dangerous situation, and the brothers and sisters around them could be transformed into Demon Sect puppets at any time.

"If it follows his own plan, it should be to take action in a few days, kill the disciples with magic thoughts one by one secretly, and turn them into sacrifices to improve his own cultivation. This is a common means of the Demon Sect. If he can plant seeds in our hearts, it will be easier for him to succeed." Ruan Ci thought to herself, "The changes last night were also an accident for him. However, such a treacherous person will not have only one plan. It seems that this mountain secret realm is the second way to kill the enemy he prepared for himself."

"He is still in the Foundation Establishment stage and cannot simulate a split spirit. Just now I locked his aura, and it became extremely vague in front of the cliff, as if it was integrated with the steaming meaning of the morning sun, so I hesitated. The geography here is actually very similar to the Green Jade Bright Hall. Both have Green Jade Miasma and are also rich in snake and insect demon beasts. Above the Green Jade Bright Hall, many changes were triggered when the Yin and Yang qi met. It seems that the triggering of this mechanism is also related to the birth and transformation of Yin and Yang. After he triggered the change, was he sucked in together, or was he hiding outside?"

She closed her eyes and sensed for a while, and thought to herself, "I can still faintly feel his location, feeling not far or near... It seems that he also followed in. If I were him, I would first find an opportunity to kill a few weak ones, and after the cultivation power improves, rely on the familiarity with this place to take action against the masters. If it doesn't work, then I will find an opportunity to retreat, and come back to collect the corpses after a few years."

Blindly hiding, waiting for the opportunity to escape when the time is right, and finding an opportunity to come back to collect the corpses, this is naturally the most secure way. But this Demon Sect disciple dared to hunt down righteous sect disciples in Huang Shoushan, naturally he is a bold person who likes to take risks. Ruan Ci stayed in the air for a while, looking at the Green Jade Miasma eating up the spiritual jade, and then set off to explore the surroundings. It seems to be extremely large here, and she walked for a long time without seeing the border, but she faintly heard human voices in the wind, and the sound of Chi Pengpeng's bell drum. Ruan Ci raised her guard and followed the sound, only to see everyone above the bamboo forest. Seeing her coming, they were all relieved and asked each other. It turned out that this was Chi Pengpeng's idea. She found that spiritual sense was not very useful here, but sound could still be transmitted as usual, so she used the bell drum as a signal to recruit everyone. At this time, except for Ruan Ci, only Junior Sister Shi had not returned to the team.

For Ruan Ci, the Donghua Sword suppresses the mind, and the Foundation Establishment illusion has no effect on her. She is not suspicious of the authenticity of everyone, but everyone has some precautions against her, and they are far away from each other, so as not to be a transformation of the Demon Sect disciple, or have become his puppet. Everyone expressed their opinions and said their own views, and many people thought of what Ruan Ci thought, that is, this secret realm is very dangerous and not suitable for cultivators to survive. For Demon Sect disciples, as long as they master the entrance, in fact, he has already won.

"In my opinion, this secret realm is by no means a place he can control at will. This place is extremely large, and we haven't touched the border. Such a cave, even a Golden Core master may not be able to refine it. If so, we still have a glimmer of life." Li Pingyan also had a view. He said, "First, Junior Sister Lian has a protective jade pendant in her hand. At the critical moment of life and death, activate the jade pendant, and the Pinghai Sect will have masters to protect the Dao. Although we cannot leave together, I think we can get some guidance."

Everyone can maintain composure at this time, naturally not everyone has put life and death out of their minds, but all have left a backhand. For example, Junior Sister Lian's protective jade pendant is a protective magic treasure common to all sects. Although it is said to be protective, the cost of driving it is also quite large. Like Junior Sister Lian, if she activates this jade pendant, naturally there will be Nascent Soul masters, or even cave masters coming to rescue, but returning to the sect, she will never hope for the Dao again, and will immediately turn into an outer sect elder. She was not eroded by magic energy before, and would never activate it rashly. Last night, the devil also quietly replaced the jade pendant with a magic seed, otherwise the real jade pendant is also strictly collected and needs to be opened with secret methods. Where can it be activated as casually as Junior Sister Lian?

This kind of protective magic treasure is born in response to the unwritten rules of the Langhuan Zhou Heaven. Langhuan Zhou Heaven does not like to bully the small with the big, and flourishing sect and flourishing sect disciples go out to practice. Even if they are killed in public, as long as they are in the same big realm, the elders will never come forward to seek revenge in person. Like Ruan Ci, she has the qualifications of a Dao ancestor, carries the Donghua supreme treasure, and goes out to practice. Even if there is a Nascent Soul guard, it is not too much, but the sect will never do this, only sending Qin Fengyu to protect her, and the two will meet in front of Hengzetian.

This Huang Shoushan is a dangerous place for Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it is not much in front of Golden Core cultivators. Can't the cave cultivators of the Golden Wave Sect and Pinghai Sect arrive in an instant? But even so, since these days, the disciples in the sect have died one by one, and the sect has no intention of intervening. All cultivators can only rely on their own strength. If they die, they die, and there is no room for turning back.

Such strict practice can make disciples truly grow up. And if you want to break this rule, you have to pay a heavy price. Some masters give protective magic treasures to their blood descendants or disciples they admire very much. Once this treasure is activated, the great power will come to rescue in person, but correspondingly, this cultivator will never hope for the Dao from then on. Therefore, even if Junior Sister Lian activates the magic treasure, when the Pinghai Sect master rescues her, she will not look at others more unless she asks for it herself, and if she asks for help from the master, after being rescued together, she will not get any resources after returning to the sect, and the path will be broken from then on, and there will be no room for turning back.

Such rules can also make flourishing sect disciples dare not rely on the power in the sect and increase their own progress. However, most cultivators with a little ambition are unwilling to carry them, and everyone only has such a piece in Junior Sister Lian's hand. Her face is also not very good-looking, snorting, "Little sister was also confused by the devil just now, so she activated it rashly. In fact, her ambition to the Dao is very firm. Everyone should rely less on it."

Naturally, everyone will not refute. Li Pingyan smiled slightly and continued, "As for the second, this devil opened the mechanism at sunrise. In my opinion, he has not refined this kind of mechanism, so he cannot open and close it at will. From the induction of heaven and earth, if he wants to open it again, then it should be midnight, or tomorrow morning. At that time, we can return to the place where we fell. Even try to refine the mechanism ourselves. If we can kill that person before this, that is the best. But I see that everyone's mind is clear and the scripture recitation is very diligent, he should not dare to show up."

Meng Lingyue interface said, "That's right, the more panicked and indignant we are, the happier the devil will be. In this way, he can divide and rule, and kill us one by one. At this time, we have to go the other way and deal with things more indifferently. Anyway, the worst result is just activating the protective jade pendant, and our Dao path is broken. If we really die here, that is absolutely not allowed."

Everyone has lofty ideals, and it is naturally very difficult to accept that the Dao path is broken here, but no matter what, this is always better than dying here. With this retreat, they can discuss the strategy of getting out with peace of mind. Chi Pengpeng said, "If you want to go out, you must first understand what this place is. If this is a masterless spiritual realm, we can also try to control this place. If you can break the true nature of this place, words have spirits, the more you say, the stronger your control over this place!—You sects are nearby, have you heard of anything?"

While she was talking, she was still shaking the bell drum, and her expression remained unchanged, showing her deep spiritual power. These two flourishing sect disciples have now convinced everyone with their extraordinary strength. Meng Lingyue shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of anything, but I have an idea. This mountain is called Huang Shoushan. The word Huang may be the same as Huang, just like Yanzhi Mountain and Yanzhi Mountain, which have been mixed up for hundreds of millions of years. The river nearby is called Fengfu River, Feng, Huang, and the Green Jade Bright Hall tens of thousands of miles away, also inhabited by many bird demon beasts, as well as snakes and insects, and that Green Jade Miasma is also inherited. I think, maybe..."

"Maybe this Huang Shoushan is transformed by the head of the Phoenix, right?" Ruan Ci interface said, but the tone was much more certain than Meng Lingyue's, "Above the Green Jade Bright Hall, the meeting of Yin and Yang qi will produce countless demon beast phantoms. Occasionally, a demon beast is injected with vitality, and it will turn from virtual to real. I think that Demon Sect disciple also realized the mystery in it. He hid in the vitality of the morning sun to trigger the Yin and Yang qi, so that this Phoenix head, which still retains a trace of vitality, turns from death to life, and we cultivators have become the spiritual bait that the Phoenix head instinctively preys on."

She had this idea, and thinking back to the cliff form, she was even more certain, "Think about it, does the stone protruding from the high cliff look like a bird's beak?"

Everyone recalled it, and couldn't help but feel creepy. Pan Tanruo took a breath of cold air and exclaimed, "Then, that cliff of a thousand feet high, is, is..."

"That's right, it's the bird's beak that is dying and wide open." Ruan Ci said, "And we were swallowed into the bird's beak, I'm afraid we came to the corpse of this Phoenix."

As her voice fell, the black mist around dissipated, and the green bamboo forest under everyone's feet turned into nothingness, turning back into dark red sandstone ground with many gullies. Ruan Ci said, "We were swallowed into its throat, and at this time we should have fallen into the Phoenix's stomach. The inner landscape world of this Phoenix has probably dissipated a lot, at least the main body is not here, but it still retains some characteristics of mutual generation and transformation between virtual and real. The Green Jade Bright Hall is like this. When I fell just now, my heart was free of distractions, and what I saw was this dark red land. The more I searched for you here, the more lush the vegetation, which may be because some thoughts in your hearts were captured by this place, and corresponding changes were born."

The more she said, the faster the black mist around dissipated. Everyone didn't need to be ordered, and each began to close their eyes and recite, holding the Heart Purification Great Spell. Chi Pengpeng held the bell drum and danced beside Ruan Ci. Ruan Ci stood in the center of the crowd, looking around, but saw the mountain walls were dangerous, dark red, although it was also unimaginably vast, but it was no longer as boundless as just now, but it had revealed its true appearance, which was a huge Phoenix stomach chamber that was connected to the top and bottom! Even the chaotic spiritual energy just now seemed to be smoothed by her words.

"Junior Sister Shi!"

Meng Lingyue pointed to the distance and shouted. Ruan Ci glanced at it, and sure enough, she saw Junior Sister Shi lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious. She didn't go to check first, gripped the Frost Sword tightly, pointed to a corner in the northeast, and said coldly, "Thief, why don't you show up?"

In a corner of the stomach chamber, on the red sandstone ground, a piece of black shadow squirmed, and was locked by Ruan Ci's sword intent, and then stopped moving. After a while, a black smoke puffed up, and a handsome cultivator walked out of it, smiled helplessly, "Profound Heaven disciple, really extraordinary. I am Zhou Zhimo, greetings."

Although Chi Pengpeng is indeed a Profound Heaven disciple and is standing next to Ruan Ci, everyone still looked at Ruan Ci, and there was no lack of surprise. After all, Ruan Ci had never revealed her identity to them. Ruan Ci smiled slightly and said, "You guessed I am a Profound Heaven disciple? Ah, I know, you come from Yanshan, are a subordinate of the Demon Lord, and want to remove the wings for the Donghua Sword Envoy, is that right?"

Updated, sorry for the long wait!

Sigh, I also want to update more for everyone, but I really haven't written any drafts recently. Fortunately, the result of going to the hospital yesterday was relatively good. It should be enough to go once a month later.

So far, no cooking has been done at home, so I don't know what to eat, I can't report... I didn't read novels yesterday either, I watched a movie, "Coraline", I don't know if I have recommended it, I think this animation is really well made, a masterpiece in stop-motion animation. It's just that when I watched it on B station, many bullet screens said it was a childhood memory, watched it in elementary school, which made me feel a bit old...
