Chapter 66

People who can enter the top ten of the Seven Springs Hall, besides their own innate talent and strong strength, must have artifacts to protect them.

Artifacts are also part of strength.

Xue Zheng is naturally no exception, the four-foot ring-handed sword in his hand is a low-grade artifact bestowed by the Yang clan when they recruited him.

It is precisely because of the resistance of this artifact that even if he was hit by the lightning released by the black iron seal, he did not completely lose his combat power. He lay on the ground, holding his sword to guard, his eyes fixed on Li Youyi who came with his sword, with a desperate fighting spirit to fight to the death.

Li Youyi wanted to go up and give him a fatal blow.

But the arrow shot by Murong Xiao from afar flew over.

"Junior, the debt you owe the Zhanglin Gang, the old man will collect it personally."

The long voice of the deputy leader of the Zhanglin Gang, Tang Yan, came from the depths of the dense forest.

The terrifying energy of the Five Seas Realm powerhouse made the fallen leaves in the forest fly up, following his figure and rushing forward like water waves. The fallen leaves stained with magic power were like flying knives, hitting into the tree bark.

"Your strength is not weak, wait for me to break through another realm, and then take you to test the sword."

Li Youyi threw this sentence to Xue Zheng, immediately retracted his sword, and fled south.

After a while.

Turned into a group of pitch-black nether mist, and rushed away with the sound of bells.

Xue Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was too dangerous just now, he had already prepared the psychological preparation to perform the final ultimate move to die together.

Among all the opponents encountered in the Gushing Spring Realm, Li Youyi is not the strongest, but he is the one who pushed him to the most dangerous situation.

Break through another realm?

"Is he going to impact the Nine-Spring Supreme Person?"

Xue Zheng naturally thought that Li Youyi was currently at the level of opening eight springs.

After all, Li Youyi is neither a special deformed species nor a pure immortal body, just a mortal, being able to have such combat power in the eight-spring realm is already quite remarkable.

Tang Yan, the deputy leader of the Zhanglin Gang, arrived.

Murong Xiao also gathered over.

Tang Yan glanced at Xue Zheng, whose arms were charred, and asked coldly: "What's going on, with the strength of the two of you, you can't handle him together?"

Murong Xiao said: "He is very likely not only practicing magic martial arts, but also a thought master."

Xue Zheng moved his painful and numb arms, not afraid of Tang Yan, and said lightly: "He is very likely a successor seed of the Thunder Heaven Sect, holding a powerful lightning artifact, and an unknown escape artifact that can make a bell sound."

He did not tell about the spatial treasure.

"Thunder Heaven Sect?"

Tang Yan's face changed.

The Thunder Heaven Sect is located in the Eastern Region and is one of the ten-million-strong sects of the Lingxiao Life Realm, and may even be the leader.

Xue Zheng nodded and said: "Except for the successor seeds cultivated by ten-million-strong gates and ten-million-strong sects, who can possess so many artifacts in the Gushing Spring Realm? Back then, Cang Li also possessed multiple artifacts to protect his body in the Gushing Spring Realm."

Murong Xiao thought the more she felt that Xue Zheng's analysis made sense, and said: "No wonder the Cang Li tribe values him so much, no wonder he is young, but his combat power is so strong. The Cang Li tribe should have known his identity long ago!"

Tang Yan pondered for a moment, and his eyes became cold: "So what if he is a successor seed of the Thunder Heaven Sect? Those ten-million-strong gates and ten-million-strong sects will cultivate multiple seeds, like raising gu, and only those who survive in the end can become true successors. Besides, he died in this Mang Mountain range, who knows if he died in the belly of an exotic beast or the claws of a evil demon?"

Xue Zheng was afraid that Tang Yan wouldn't dare to provoke the Thunder Heaven Sect, so he immediately echoed: "Anyway, he didn't reveal his identity, who knows if he is a successor seed of the Thunder Heaven Sect? The most important thing at present is to execute the Eldest Miss's order. However, the artifacts on him..."

Tang Yan understood instantly and smiled: "The artifacts on him that only we know about are naturally kept secret, and no one is allowed to leak a word. Bringing a corpse back is enough to explain to the Eldest Miss."

The giant camel released by the Evil Camel Bell is fast, but it consumes too much magic power.

Li Youyi can only ride it for a quarter of an hour after opening six springs, and in the end, he still has to rely on two legs.

Perhaps he has to enter the Five Seas Realm, open the gas sea, or break through the eighth spring "Fengfu" and the ninth spring "Ancestral Field," and possess the ability to store magic power before he can last long.

For the next five days, Li Youyi ran away in the mountains and ridges while healing his injuries.

Every hour, Senior Lingwei would show him the way.

Tang Yan, Xue Zheng, and Murong Xiao caught up from time to time, Li Youyi did not fight hard with them, and every time he escaped very dangerously, the injuries on his body had never healed. Once, he was almost severely injured by Tang Yan, and it was only by borrowing the Evil Camel Bell and the black iron seal that he escaped.

From beginning to end, the protective wife did not appear, and I don't know if it was because she felt that he had been too close to Li Ling and Cai Yutong during this period. In short, Li Youyi felt that pinning the hope of survival on her was very unreliable.

Five days later.

Li Youyi dragged his scarred and exhausted body, traveling day and night, sleeping no more than two hours a day, and finally crossed hundreds of miles to reach the edge of the Nine Li clan's ancestral realm.

Standing above a waterfall on the hillside, looking out from afar.

A magnificent snow-capped mountain was located in the distance, surrounded by countless steep and dangerous peaks and rolling hills, only the mountainside could be seen, and everything above the mountainside was covered by clouds.

The dozen or so peaks around were already very spectacular, but they were suppressed by the central snow-capped mountain, and their momentum was gone.

Behind Li Youyi, the stone coffin that was originally placed on the ground suddenly stood up.

The voice from the coffin came out: "See that most magnificent and magnificent snow-capped mountain, it is shaped like a crown, and the snow on the mountain never melts all year round."

Li Youyi said: "Could it be that that is the Cang King Tomb?"

"No!"

Senior Stone Coffin said: "That is the Nine Li Shenshan, and the Nine Li God Chi You is buried under the ancestral snow-capped mountain. Whether it is really buried there is hard to say, but the Nine Li Shenshan is definitely worthy of being one of the top three most dangerous and mysterious places in the entire Southern Region. Even when I was at the peak of my cultivation before I died, I almost buried myself in it."

Li Youyi had heard the name of the Nine Li God long ago, and he was really shocked at first, the name was too close to that legendary figure in ancient Chinese mythology, and it was hard not to make people think about it.

Hearing Senior Stone Coffin's statement, Li Youyi's heart naturally set off waves again.

He had long guessed the identity of the person in the coffin, and his strength before he died was definitely something that the chieftains, sect masters, and ancestors of Lizhou today could never see the back of. Breaking into his own ancestor's tomb, he almost didn't return?

Senior Stone Coffin continued: "According to ancestral legend, the Nine Li God gave birth to eighty-one children in total, all of whom were buried around the Nine Li Shenshan, turning into these peaks and hills you see before you. Nine of the eighty-one children are the ancestors of the nine major tribes of the Nine Li clan today."

"What about the remaining seventy-two?" Li Youyi asked.

This obviously asked about Senior Stone Coffin's blind spot of knowledge!

After a long pause, Senior Stone Coffin continued: "Cang King is the eldest son of the Nine Li God and the ancestor of the Cang Li tribe, buried in the place closest to the Nine Li Shenshan. It is the first peak to the right of the snow-capped mountain!"

Li Youyi saw that peak, it was very imposing, and the peak was close to the clouds.

Senior Stone Coffin said: "However, the vast forest area occupied by the ancestral realm is extremely dangerous, with many protective forces left by the sages, and even the power of the Nine Li God. If you don't walk the few paths of life, even if a Longevity Realm person breaks in, they will have to peel off a layer of skin."

"So as long as we enter this ancestral realm, we will be much safer, and those people chasing behind, even if you give them ten guts, they wouldn't dare to break in."

"Next, I will go forward with you."

"You support the Nine Emperor Banner, it can silently open the light gauze barrier guarding the ancestral realm."

An hour later, Li Youyi came to the bottom of the waterfall, carrying the stone coffin on his shoulder, holding the three-meter-long white Nine Emperor Banner, like a funeral person, opened the enchantment light gauze, and officially walked into the ancestral realm of the Nine Li clan.

Too strange!

Walking into the ancestral realm, the sky instantly darkened, just like entering the night.

Everything was silent, and even the birds couldn't be heard.

The firmament appeared with dense stars... it actually looked very much like the Milky Way...

Li Youyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked Senior Stone Coffin, and was told that the ancestral realm can be called the ancestral realm, it must be different from the outside world, and it is a small world arranged by the Nine Li God.

As for the stars in the firmament, they have been like this since ancient times, and Senior Stone Coffin said he couldn't understand it either.

"From here, is it possible to walk back to Earth?"

Li Youyi muttered this in his heart, and just as he was muttering, a hundred-meter-high hill in front of him suddenly wriggled, raised a bull's head the size of a palace, and his eyes released a soul-stirring momentum.

Countless mountain stones rolled down from its back.

The night was thick, and he couldn't see clearly. But Li Youyi's scalp was numb, and he just wanted to turn around and leave, it was too dangerous here, not a place where his current cultivation should come.

Senior Stone Coffin said: "Don't panic, it's the tomb-guarding beast Mud Ox. Use the Nine Emperor Banner to open the way, it won't hurt you."

How can you not panic?

Li Youyi held his breath, gave a stiff smile to the hill-like Mud Ox, walked past it carefully, and always felt that the huge bull's head was staring at him. Fortunately, after bypassing it, the huge head lay down again and no longer had any movement.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

He walked along a stream that emitted night light, the water was like a glowing silk ribbon.

After walking for half an hour, green light groups suddenly appeared from the ground, each wrapping a shell creature the size of a basin. They had sharp claw arms like mantises, and their heads were human-like, looking extremely gloomy and terrifying.

Li Youyi swallowed his saliva wildly, and sweat kept seeping from his hand holding the Nine Emperor Banner.

"Don't panic, it's the tomb-guarding insect race Yan Kan clan, use the Nine Emperor Banner to sweep it, they will naturally make way." Senior Stone Coffin was very calm.

"So big... you say they are insects?"

Li Youyi could feel that these Yan Kan were not simple, each one was more dangerous than Xue Zheng, so he followed the instructions and gently swung the Nine Emperor Banner.

The Yan Kan on the ground really became docile and automatically gave way to a path.

Walking through the area occupied by the Yan Kan, Li Youyi couldn't help but ask: "Master Coffin, what exactly are we going to take from the Cang King Tomb, with the danger level of this place, I feel I can practice for another two years before coming."

Senior Stone Coffin smiled: "Don't worry, without more than ninety percent certainty, you won't be asked to take risks. Besides, you are no longer five springs, but six springs, and you have cultivated the last bit of thought power. I think the danger is already minimal..."

"Someone!"

Li Youyi heard something, immediately put the Nine Emperor Banner on the ground, squatted down, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
