Chapter 236

But Zhou Qing already understood what his Senior Uncle meant.

Indeed, the Grand Elders can't even enter the gravity zone now, so what way do they have to intervene?

Admittedly, he could tell everyone about the secret passage, but what about after entering the coffin?

There is a terrifying Soul Severance realm existence inside; a slight carelessness could lead to falling inside.

"Master—" Just at this moment, Cao Zhengyang suddenly removed the sound-insulating barrier, and then He Han's anxious voice was heard.

After several people walked out of the camp tent, they saw a large group of people diving down toward the abyss, and the many tomb keepers on the cliff wall were crazily attacking these people.

However, they were casually slapped into fly ash by some Divine Transformation realm experts, and the scene was chaotic.

"This disciple just heard that the mystical realm entrance has appeared again!" He Han said hurriedly.

Cao Zhengyang looked at the crowd swarming down, his eyes full of heartache.

This group of shameless people, that is my Taiqing Sect's thing.

"Zhou Qing, you stay here with He Han; we old guys will go down and take a look first!" Cao Zhengyang immediately ordered.

Zhou Qing saw that Sikong Yan and the others had already gone down first, but shook his head and said: "Senior Uncle, this disciple is already in the Divine Transformation realm, and I want to go down and take a look to confirm it!"

Cao Zhengyang still wanted to say something, but Mo Xingjian stepped out and said decisively: "Let's go!"

After speaking, he went down.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and followed without hesitation.

Cao Zhengyang sighed softly, hurriedly gave He Han two more instructions, and then hurriedly led Tong Min and the others toward the bottom of the abyss...

This was Zhou Qing's first time stepping into this abyss; the sensation caused after trapping and killing the old Peng King that day was too great, and he still had lingering fears.

Plus, Xuan Yuan Shuo should be in the vicinity, so he and his Third Zhou Shixiong had to leave quickly to avoid causing suspicion.

It's just that he didn't expect it to be so deep, and the range was boundless.

It took a full incense stick of time for the six people to reach the bottom.

The spiritual power here was violent, and negative emotions were extremely rich; even with Zhou Qing's state of mind, he felt sometimes disappointed, sometimes excited, and even somewhat unable to control himself.

The surrounding environment was similar to the image stone that Zhou Shixiong He Han brought back a few days ago, pitch black, with white mist drifting and permeating.

Soon, rustling footsteps came from all around, from far to near, clearly others had arrived one after another.

"Be careful!" Cao Zhengyang immediately took out his weapon, stood in front of the crowd, and exhorted.

As soon as the words fell, roars and fighting sounds came from all around, but this sound soon decreased a lot.

There was no way; even the tomb keepers in the central area who had transformed into Divine Transformation realm existences were not many in number, but the people swarming down now were a hundred times more than them.

Almost simultaneously, the people above the abyss, seeing that the Divine Transformation realm experts had all gone down, estimated that they had cleared away most of the danger, and followed suit.

Nascent Soul realm, Jin Dan realm, and even Foundation Establishment realm experts all wanted to come and get a share of the spoils.

If some Divine Transformation realm or Nascent Soul realm expert accidentally fell, they could also get unexpected benefits like rats.

After all, the bold are stuffed to death, and the timid are starved to death.

Beneath the abyss!

Several people moved forward cautiously, and soon after, they saw a large expanse of ripples wriggling.

Hundreds of experts from the early to Great Completion Divine Transformation realm were all waiting on the side, watching with burning eyes.

Zhou Qing and the others looked over and saw that behind the ripples, there was indeed a red high tower standing quietly.

Besides that, there were some wandering souls roaming inside.

"It really is the scene of the first coffin!" Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Zhou Qing only felt his heart sink.

Vaguely, there was an ominous premonition about to happen.

However, the ripples had not completely solidified and looked somewhat illusory; who knows, it might dissipate in a while just like last time.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Six figures landed directly in front of the crowd.

The two Prefecture Lords of Lingyun Prefecture and Qingming Prefecture stood with Su Lishan.

The two Prefecture Lords of Haomiao Prefecture and Xinghan Prefecture stood with Wu Tiangang.

Regarding these six highly respected figures, the crowd didn't dare to have the slightest offense, moving to the side one after another, giving them space.

Zhou Qing looked lightly at Xiao Cancan's father—Lingyun Prefecture Lord Xiao Ji, and Ke Shu's father—Haomiao Prefecture Lord Ke Zhenxiong, and frowned slightly.

Afterward, he looked at the image in front of him and immediately performed an identification.

【Soul World Second Entrance: This is an entrance to a small world belonging exclusively to wandering souls, with countless opportunities inside, but the danger coefficient is also extremely high, especially at this moment, a Ghost Emperor is watching quietly inside.】

Seeing the feedback information, Zhou Qing's heart suddenly tightened.

Sure enough, the manifestation of the entrance of this first coffin here is by no means accidental.

At this moment, Cao Zhengyang also looked at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing knew what his Senior Uncle wanted to ask, so he nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Cao Zhengyang felt even more heartache.

But just the next moment, Zhou Qing felt several gazes fall behind him; turning his head to look, the first thing that caught his eyes was the Tianji Sect Master—Master Xuanji, not far away.

The note he had about him, which had been 【The Kid Who Should Be Cut into a Thousand Pieces】 years ago, had also changed to 【A Threat That Must Be Eliminated Early】.

Sure enough, the notification sound from the Jade Meal Hall that day came from Immortal Xuanyou and Master Xuanji.

After learning that he had reached Divine Transformation, they both had murderous intent toward him.

At this moment, Master Xuanji and several other late Divine Transformation realm experts had gazes as cold as frost, staring fixedly at Zhou Qing.

They even undisguisedly released wisps of spiritual sense to confirm whether he had truly stepped into the Divine Transformation realm.

Zhou Qing ignored them and turned his gaze to the other lines of sight cast toward him.

Jin Leizong Sect Master Lei Wuji, including Lei Lie on the side, were also looking him up and down; seeing Zhou Qing look over, they nodded slightly, which counted as a greeting.

Sure enough, the next moment, he saw the Number Four Green Ball, Number Five Cyan Ball, and Number Six Blue Ball appear together.

"It looks like when I entered the Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace that year, I should have been like this." Zhou Qing muttered to himself; for some reason, he was inexplicably excited.

Subsequently, he hurriedly took out spirit stones to replenish energy, and his spiritual sense entered instantly.

After a moment of hesitation, he reached out and took the image stone directly, examining it carefully.

But soon, the ripple scene seemed unstable, flickered twice, and then disappeared suddenly, everything returning to calm.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing's frown deepened, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

Cao Zhengyang saw this and immediately said to He Han: "You go back and rest."

He Han also understood something, saluted, and left.

And Zhou Qing, after a brief ponder, looked at Cao Zhengyang with a solemn face.

"Shibo, not to hide from you, Er Daye once took me to the Cave Heaven, and the image in the image stone seems to be the scene inside the first coffin," Zhou Qing said slowly.

Cao Zhengyang heard this, his face changed drastically, full of disbelief.

"Are you sure?" He hurriedly asked.

Zhou Qing nodded solemnly and said earnestly: "Er Daye and I also attacked that Red Tower Mountain; there are countless vengeful ghosts living inside, and the whole thing is shrouded in a three-color barrier."

Cao Zhengyang hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, I mean, isn't that inside the coffin a corpse, but something like a small world?"

Zhou Qing was stunned.

Only then did he react; the Taiqingmen ancestors never found a way to safely pass that river full of blood and dead crows.

Let alone having the opportunity to open the coffin and see the scene inside.

Only Er Daye doesn't play by the rules, putting three dead crows on his forehead and shoulders, delaying the attack of those three corpse-wax crows, and thus being able to enter the interior of the coffin.

At this moment, looking at Shibo's glowing eyes, a sense of sadness surged in Zhou Qing's heart.

He had to nod and said: "Hmm, Er Daye first took me to the third coffin, inside there is a Soul Severance realm Flame Fire Crocodile, and the scene in the image stone just now is from the first coffin."

"As for the other coffins, I haven't been there, but Er Daye guesses that each one should have an existence like the Flame Fire Crocodile King."

Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Cao Zhengyang couldn't help but gasp, a sense of indescribable shock surging in his heart.

The entire fourth-level cultivation country, eighty-one counties and seventy-two prefectures, boundless territory, only has a dozen Soul Severance realm experts.

And his small Taiqingmen actually hides six terrifying Soul Severance realm experts; if this were said out, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Is this the legacy left by the ancestors for their descendants?

At this moment, looking at Cao Zhengyang's glowing eyes, Zhou Qing hurriedly said: "Shibo, don't think too much, those Soul Severance realm experts we can't control, they should have transformed and broken through later."

"These not only can't become our reliance, but if they break through the coffin, I'm afraid they will bring disaster to the Taiqingmen."

Cao Zhengyang heard this, and also suddenly came back to his senses, nodding repeatedly.

Of course he knew this, and didn't dare to have the idea of being able to control Soul Severance realm experts.

That is even more terrifying than seeking skin from a tiger.

A slight carelessness, and one will be doomed.

"Wait, that is to say, the bottom of the Spirit Skull Mountain abyss, for some reason, is actually strangely connected to the first coffin?" Cao Zhengyang hurriedly said.

Zhou Qing nodded solemnly and said: "It looks like it."

"Then wouldn't that be a disaster? If this group of people goes in, will they come out from the Cave Heaven?" Cao Zhengyang was full of worry.

Zhou Qing also frowned tightly.

He remembered that when he went in with Er Daye last time, although they used 【Invisibility Talismans】 the whole time, Er Daye always felt that they were being watched by someone in the dark the whole time.

And that prying gaze, I think, is the master of that strange world, a true Soul Severance realm expert.

However, the other party should have their own thoughts and be much more rational than the Flame Fire Crocodile King.

Otherwise, they would have manipulated the wandering souls to attack them long ago.

More importantly, those wandering souls in the gravity zone.

People entering different realms will have corresponding realm wandering souls to train them.

It should also be manipulated by the other party.

Just don't know if there is a ghost king-like existence in this first coffin.

Subsequently, Zhou Qing told his guess.

Cao Zhengyang was stunned; only then did he know that the wandering souls actually came from the first coffin.

Now people including the Supreme Elders can't get into the Cave Heaven, it's because of the existence of these wandering souls.

No, what else did Er Daye take you to do?

What other things haven't you told us?

However, these don't matter now.

According to what Zhou Qing said, this first coffin is a world that even Er Daye hasn't explored, and there are countless treasures inside.

The good news is that there are barriers every three steps inside, and it can't be opened without a formation master.

The bad news is that now I don't know how many people are gathered at Spirit Skull Mountain; they can completely use brute force to break those things, but the result is that the good things inside might be damaged together.

"No, this is something left by my Taiqingmen ancestors, why give it to them? Where is Er Daye? Didn't he come back with you this time?"

Cao Zhengyang was a bit anxious; at this moment, he felt like his own backyard was being watched by a group of greedy robbers, ready to be looted at any time.

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly.

"Shibo, my meaning is, this secret realm has started to manifest an entrance, but our Taiqingmen people should not go in for now, it's very dangerous inside!"

Cao Zhengyang of course understood Zhou Qing's meaning, but thinking of the legacy left by his ancestors facing the situation of being coveted by others, he felt uncomfortable all over.

But he really couldn't stop it for a moment.

Silently for a while, Cao Zhengyang took the image stone again and examined it carefully.

"It looks like that picture is not stable yet, but I think it won't be long before it completely solidifies. Someone had seen similar scenes under the abyss before, but everyone just thought it was an illusion."

Cao Zhengyang frowned, muttering to himself.

"Now it seems, it's true. But that Spirit Skull Mountain is at least a few days' journey from our Taiqingmen, let alone the coffin being independent as a wandering soul small world, how could it connect there?"

Subsequently, he looked at Zhou Qing, a flash of probing in his eyes: "Could it be that the Soul Severance realm expert you mentioned did it? He tricked these people in, then killed them all, and used some means to turn them into wandering souls?"

Zhou Qing listened to Cao Zhengyang's words, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Can only say, the brain hole is big, but it's not impossible.

"Then Shibo, does Spirit Skull Mountain have any history?" Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and asked.

Cao Zhengyang shook his head: "Didn't pay much attention to the specifics, just that there are many white bones, and many demon beasts like to gather there when they are dying."

"But the successive sect masters of our five

Who is it?

Supreme Elders?

Thirteen Peak Masters?

In a short moment, various guesses came one after another.

And hearing that Number Seven and Number One were actually fellow townsmen, the other three light balls also became interested.

They were just about to ask, but Number Seven turned his gaze to the forbidden area pictures of the other three.

"Interesting, it seems we are all fellow townsmen, I have been to these places!" Number Seven said leisurely.

The other three frowned.

"So, are you talking nonsense?" Number Four Green Ball couldn't help but mock, his tone full of disdain.

Didn't expect Number Seven to actually nod and say: "Yes, I saw it recorded in ancient books, isn't entering here just to make yourself a bit mysterious? Just now, did your heart skip a beat, were you scared?"

"Madman!" Number Four Green Ball cursed and exited directly.

Anyway, the forbidden area that should be seen has already been seen, he hasn't been in contact with it, and he offended him from the beginning, staying is just asking for trouble.

Zhou Qing's expression was unprecedentedly solemn; others might think Number Seven was just joking, but he had a strong feeling that the other party might really be from Lingyun Prefecture.

Instantly, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged in his heart.

You must know that the Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace hides major secrets related to the seventh-level cultivation country; if outsiders know and lock onto him in a small range, let alone the small Lingyun Prefecture, I'm afraid the entire Shengwu Imperial Dynasty will not escape the fate of extinction.

Especially since the other party knows the forbidden area he has seen, but he has never seen his.

Who is it?

Who exactly is it?

"You don't need to introduce yourselves, I'll go in and try, let's talk another day!"

After speaking, Number Seven entered the simulation with full anticipation, and his picture became purple.

The entire space was left with only three light balls floating quietly.

"This person is not kind, and his brain has problems, let's be careful in the future!" Number Five Cyan Ball said, and also exited.

When Zhou Qing heard this sentence, his heart jumped wildly.

Because not long ago, he had talked to Shibo Gao Xuan about a person whose brain had problems, and he was his fellow townsman.

But it's impossible!

The other party seems to know everything about the Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace, unlike when he first came in, he still needed Number Six to explain it to him in detail.

Even if he knows the forbidden area he has seen, he should hide it calmly.

After all, what if he explodes because of the Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace in the future, wouldn't that involve him?

"Number One!" Just as Zhou Qing was pondering, Number Six spoke lightly, "Please come in for a chat!" Saying this, she pointed to her forbidden area picture.

Zhou Qing nodded and followed in.

Under the crooked-neck jujube tree, Zhou Qing looked at the paper money all over the ground and the shadowy black ancient ship in the distance, and turned to look at her.

"First of all, congratulations, it looks like seclusion is over, and the harvest is abundant!" Zhou Qing smiled.

Number Six didn't respond immediately, but stood quietly in place, her hazy body leaning forward slightly, as if carefully sizing up Zhou Qing.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qing felt uncomfortable being stared at by her and couldn't help but ask.

"You, you, do you know me, and are you very familiar?"

Zhou Qing was stunned.

"Why would you ask that?" Zhou Qing pretended to be calm.

Number Six took a step forward slightly: "Last time you left, you specially asked if I liked eating lotus seed cakes, sugar-steamed crisp cheese, wine-brewed balls, mung bean cakes, etc."

Zhou Qing's face instantly became sheepish, hurriedly saying: "The old man was just asking blindly on a whim..."

"I really like eating these!" Number Six suddenly interrupted his words, her tone firm.

Zhou Qing: "..."

No way, is Lu Shimei capable of fortune-telling?

"You are so clear about my preferences, presumably you should be someone around me."

"And last time you sent me the long-lost four-color array 【Taiyin Refining Soul Array】, used to trap that shroud; it can be seen that you know very well that I am a fourth-level formation master."

"And you suggested I find someone to refine the 【Ice Glass Spirit Sparrow Grass】 into 【Ice Glass Spirit-Rising Pill】, which is of great use to the Soul Severance realm; therefore, you know I am now in the Soul Severance realm."

Number Six approached Zhou Qing while speaking, her hazy figure seeming to carry an invisible pressure.

Zhou Qing smiled sheepishly and subconsciously retreated.

"So, who exactly are you? This is very important to me!" Number Six's gaze locked onto Zhou Qing, asking again.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath and said: "I really don't know you, all this might be a coincidence."

"I don't believe it, today Number Seven you also saw, feeling his actions are a bit extreme, very unkind; if he is really your fellow townsman, in case..."

Number Six stopped mid-sentence.

Zhou Qing smiled bitterly in his heart.

This is afraid that people will find me, and then because I know you, then indirectly find you, right?

Considering it far enough.

Speaking of which, the one with the biggest headache now should be me, right?

You helped me a lot, I am really grateful to you, anyway, since you already know me, perhaps we can meet, and even unite to counter Number Seven's investigation of us, how about it?"

Number Six discussed.

Zhou Qing laughed.

Still want to meet?

I just reached Divine Transformation, back then at Old Peng Wang's place in Canglan Mountain, Xuan Yuan Shuo was already in the mid-stage of Soul Severance, and he couldn't snatch it from you.

You can even use huge spiritual power to sense the hidden inheritance under the abyss.

This time, using that 【Ice Glass Spirit-Rising Pill】, it's not impossible to promote two stages.

At this moment, you are either late Soul Severance or Great Perfection, and as a fourth-level formation master, fifth-level cultivation country, I'm looking for death to meet you.

However—

Looking at Number Six in a hazy state, Zhou Qing suddenly had a playful psychology.

"Meeting is fine, but there is one thing I want to ask you." Zhou Qing's mouth turned up slightly, a flash of cunning in his eyes, and he said.

Number Six heard this, the outline that was emitting light seemed to dim instantly, her tone full of disappointment, saying softly: "Please speak."

Zhou Qing paused slightly, then said slowly: "Many years ago, who was the person who visited Situ Jiuyao with you? At that time, you should have only condensed eight thousand spirit seals."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Qing clearly saw Number Six's hazy body tremble violently.

Even staring at him with an unbelievable gaze.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the entire space fell into silence.

For a long time, Number Six spoke slowly, her voice trembling, shocked: "You really know me..."

Zhou Qing just wanted to say something, but didn't expect her to suddenly laugh.

"When the true is false, the false is true; I probably know who you are. After all, not many people know about visiting Master Situ, I think we will meet soon!"

Number Six finished speaking, her figure instantly became illusory and exited directly.

And Zhou Qing, who was in her forbidden area, was also excluded by an invisible force, and then looked blankly at the space in front of him.

"She wouldn't go to find that person who loves her, would she?" Zhou Qing muttered to himself, a bitter smile on his face.

Subsequently, he shook his head and looked at the purple light screen again.

"You, who exactly are you?"

After Zhou Qing exited, he repeatedly savored every word Number Seven said, to see if he could find any clues.

"Perhaps, there is another way!" Soon, Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

You must know that the talent skill 【Heart Appraisal Vision】 also reached level five; compared to before, there were six more spots.

"If I can bind Si Kong Yan, perhaps I can see something." Zhou Qing muttered.

It's just that I don't know if it will normally manifest remarks after entering the Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace?

After thinking clearly, Zhou Qing was just about to set off to inquire about Si Kong Yan's movements, but Cao Zhengyang actually came.

"Guess why Immortal Xuanyou and the others came?" Cao Zhengyang said with a smile.

Zhou Qing shook his head; he had no interest in other things now, the most important thing is to exclude all candidates for Number Seven as soon as possible.

Cao Zhengyang didn't seem to notice Zhou Qing's distraction and continued excitedly: "Marriage!"

"Marriage? With whom?" Zhou Qing heard this and instantly widened his eyes, his originally scattered attention instantly pulled back.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 235 =====

This synchronized scene is truly wonderful, as if two worlds overlap at this moment.

I remember the last synchronization was when I met Er Daye who had sneaked back; I followed his footsteps to learn the method of crossing the blood river.

Arriving at the end of the passage, he took a look at the darkness on the left and let out a long breath.

He immediately jumped into the blood river at the fastest speed, grabbed the three dead crows, and then quickly climbed ashore.

After arriving at the first coffin, he directly transformed into the second form of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, no longer retaining his cultivation, and roared to start pushing the coffin.

You must know that when he came here last time, he was still in the late Nascent Soul realm and could push open a crack; now that he has promoted to Divine Transformation, his strength has greatly increased, so it should be about the same.

PS: It's the middle of the month, asking for a monthly ticket; it hasn't broken a thousand yet, so miserable!
