Chapter 46: Dragon-Tiger Secret Realm

Before entering, everyone would have thought that the place below should be like an underground palace.

After all, it was underground, and there was a door opening and closing above, which looked like an underground building no matter how you looked at it.

But when Jin Mingxiu looked down from mid-air, his heart skipped a beat.

Below was actually a plain. As if it were a mirror image of the above, it was the skeleton of a dragon and a tiger embracing each other below. Something should have been placed in the center, but it was missing.

The dragon and tiger skeletons were huge, like mountains. The dragon’s half of the earth was fiery red, and the tiger’s half was ice blue like crystal. The visual effect was truly very shocking.

At least in the Great Qian, people had never seen a dragon, nor had they seen a tiger that had grown to such a size.

The extremely rich spiritual energy almost seemed to turn into substance, slowing their descent speed by three parts. Looking around again, the boundary could be seen in the darkness, and the boundary looked like a mountain but was not a mountain; it was... a spirit stone vein!

Jin Mingxiu held his breath.

If he could occupy this place alone...

Glancing over, besides himself, four people came down. Among them, only the Sect Master and himself were Fourth-Grade, the white-haired girl was Fifth-Grade, and the other two were ignored. As long as he found an opportunity to sneak attack the Sect Master, wouldn't this place be left for him to ravage?

The fall wasn't high, and his thoughts raced. His feet had already stepped on solid ground, which was the empty space in the center of the dragon and tiger skeletons.

Jin Mingxiu hadn't had time to think of a sneak attack strategy, but those four people moved first.

The child and the white-haired girl who were ignored suddenly attacked from the left and right. Shen Tang sat in front and pushed her palms flat.

The majestic purple energy surged over like a mountain and a sea. Jin Mingxiu quickly drew his sword and slashed angrily, just like breaking against a wall, barely splitting the qi energy, and he was also blood-chaotic and staggered backward.

The child’s fist on the left and the white-haired girl’s sword on the right could no longer be dodged, and they hit his ribs squarely.

Jin Mingxiu really didn't expect that he hadn't sneak-attacked yet, but was sneak-attacked by this group of women and children first, and he didn't expect that this child was also so strong! He groaned in pain, shook off A Nuo and Dugu Qingli at high speed, turned, and fled: "The Sect Master sneak-attacked a loyal minister and acted perversely; I will go out and tell the whole sect, let everyone give an explanation!"

Fortunately, this child was only Fifth-Grade, and the white-haired girl was also Fifth-Grade. Although he was injured, his grade was there, and he was confident that he could shake them off in terms of speed.

Shen Tang was lame anyway and couldn't chase.

Just as he was thinking this, the sound of wind whistling suddenly came from behind.

Jin Mingxiu looked back in horror, only to see Shen Tang following behind him at a distance of less than ten feet as if she were taking a leisurely stroll: "It’s a pity you can’t get out."

Jin Mingxiu looked as if he had seen a ghost: "You, your legs..."

"It’s a coincidence, they recovered as before yesterday."

"So you let me come down, just to kill me in a place where others can’t see!"

"Then you think too much." Shen Tang smiled slightly: "It’s just because your mind is hard to fathom; leaving you outside, I wouldn't know who you would go to report to. It’s better to bring you down and solve it in advance."

Jin Mingxiu felt desperate in his heart. This Sect Master really didn't have so many twists and turns before; what happened now...

Between the two sentences, Shen Tang had already chased behind him, and her right palm slapped again.

That terrifying violent qi surged over again. Jin Mingxiu, who hadn't recovered from his injuries, responded with his sword very reluctantly. But the high-grade flying sword he usually prided himself on was almost like scrap iron in front of Shen Tang’s overbearing purple energy. The palm came out, and the sword broke.

"Bang!" The jade hand easily slapped away the sword qi and hit Jin Mingxiu’s chest heavily.

Jin Mingxiu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, looking at Shen Tang who was walking slowly as if looking at a devil: "You... practicing the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Scripture to this point, simply..."

Even if the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Scripture was the world’s super-grade cultivation technique, it didn't say that slapping a flying sword of the same level with bare hands was like slapping tofu. This was not only the power of the technique itself, but also the strength of the practitioner herself, whose body tempering had reached an extremely astonishing level, and who had condensed the technique’s qi energy like substance.

Jin Mingxiu could almost be sure that even if a certain prince practiced to the Fourth-Grade, he still couldn't be Shen Tang’s opponent.

Invincible at the same level, that’s what it refers to.

"You only know it’s the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Scripture now, which shows you are not the Emperor’s person, and the Emperor’s person wouldn't kill me now..." Shen Tang paced to him and whispered: "Tell me whose person you are, maybe I can consider giving you a quick death."

Jin Mingxiu sneered: "It’s just that seeing you young and in power, acting perversely, slaughtering the eight elders who worked hard to protect you and escape to Xiazhou, you are not worthy of being the master!"

"Why bother saying your idea of replacing me so high-sounding?" Shen Tang sighed and raised her palm, about to use an interrogation technique.

"Sister, wait." A Nuo carried the white banner and ran over: "Master said our Human Emperor Banner just upgraded, and now detaining soul spirits can retain more memories. Do you want to try? Maybe you can dig out more secrets."

Shen Tang turned around and rubbed her head: "I’ll leave it to you."

A Nuo looked at Jin Mingxiu, who was slumped on the ground, and revealed a simple and honest smile.

Shen Tang returned to the center of the dragon and tiger, Lu Xingzhou didn't even bother to look at the chase over there, he had been surveying here for a while, and Dugu Qingli also went to check the situation of the spirit stone vein in the surrounding area.

"How is it?" Shen Tang asked.

Lu Xingzhou looked at a depression in the center and frowned: "This must have been a pill furnace originally. I want to know why the pill furnace flew away, but unfortunately, I still can't draw a conclusion from here. As for the others..."

He pointed to the huge dragon and tiger skeletons around: "These skeletons originally contained great energy, but now they have long been absorbed into useless withered bones, and they will scatter if they are hit by a stronger impact. I suggest keeping them well; they should still have some value... at least they can be used for archaeology, to study what these are, after all, the Great Qian really doesn't have them."

Shen Tang nodded: "Good."

Lu Xingzhou fell silent after speaking, and Shen Tang sighed slightly.

If these dragon and tiger skeletons were still in their initial state, then immortal bones could be said to be as many as there were, and they could all be counted. But now there is a feeling of entering a treasure mountain empty-handed and finding that the treasure is already waste. It is conceivable how disappointed Lu Xingzhou is; it would be better not to find it.

Lu Xingzhou cheered up and smiled: "I’m not particularly wanting this kind of animal bone, it’s awkward... Such a large place, the survey has just begun, and there won't be only this little thing. Having said that, even if there is only this little thing, the Profound Heaven Sword Sect has made a big profit this time."

Shen Tang nodded. Not to mention that this extremely rich spiritual energy and the special yin-yang embracing atmosphere can create an excellent trial ground for sect cultivation, just the spirit stone vein nearby is a necessary condition for becoming a top sect.

There is no top sect that relies on selling herbs and flying swords to build up; that is the plan for ordinary sects to establish themselves. If you say the Tianyao Holy Land relies on selling medicine to supply the resources of its disciples, it would simply make people laugh their teeth off. Having a mine is the most confident thing, and the most important of which is the spirit stone mine.

Of course, you can't just eat the mountain and empty it; various industries must still exist to achieve virtuous operation, which does not conflict with the previous establishment plan.

The most wonderful thing is that this spirit stone mine is hidden in a secret realm and doesn't need to be placed on the table to attract covetousness.

But Shen Tang still couldn't be happy, and looking at Lu Xingzhou’s appearance, she always felt that there was a bit of forced smile. She didn't say much, and flew to explore the opposite direction of Dugu Qingli.

The so-called spirit stone mine is of course not purely piled up by spirit stones. Its main body is still a mountain. Since it is a mountain, there may still be other things in the mountain. The probability of special creation in a mountain body where such rich energy gathers is still very high, such as the likely existence of an immortal cave.

These dragon and tiger skeletons and the original pill furnace all prove that there must be human arrangements. Where was this person originally? It wouldn't be living in the wilderness.

Dugu Qingli had been checking this aspect from the beginning.

Little White Hair had been alone in the frozen moon and cold river for so many years, and the ancient tombs and ancient cave dwellings she dug under the glacier might be more than Lu Xingzhou had ever heard of.

"Lu Xingzhou." Dugu Qingli tapped a certain mountain body and pondered for a long time, then suddenly turned her head and shouted: "You take out some spirit stones and place them in the dragon and tiger eye sockets to try."

Lu Xingzhou’s heart moved. If there is an immortal cave, there must be a trick to open it. Judging by the gaze of the dragon and tiger in this place, it makes sense.

He slapped his wheelchair, flew up, and quickly took out four spirit stones from his ring, accurately throwing them into the empty eye sockets of the dragon and tiger.

Spiritual energy seeped into the eye sockets, and gradually the dragon and tiger eyes seemed to have a little agility, and the light flickered slightly.

Although there was only a faint light of fireflies, it was enough. With everyone’s eyesight, they could vaguely see four extremely thin lines of light shooting on the mountain wall in front of Dugu Qingli, forming four small points that were not very regular, but up, down, left, and right were still very clear.

The four people quickly gathered together.

"If there is no accident, this is the location of the prohibition to open, and it must be corresponding to the power of the four images." Dugu Qingli said seriously: "The power of the four images, I have the power of ice, which can correspond to Xuanwu; Lu Xingzhou is an alchemist who cultivates fire, which can correspond to Zhuque; Shen Tang is a sword cultivator who can correspond to Baihu..."

Saying that, she looked at A Nuo: "Although I don't know your specific cultivation, I always feel that your wood attribute is extremely prosperous. Is there any mistake?"

A Nuo nodded: "I can."

The four looked at each other, all feeling a strange fate. Everyone had never deliberately gathered any attributes, but unknowingly, the four images were all ready.

Shen Tang asked cautiously: "Since it is an immortal place, is our cultivation enough to open it?"

Dugu Qingli said: "Reasonably, this is a home door prohibition, not a tomb prohibition, and it doesn't require too strong power to open. No one wants to spend effort when going home. Probably the energy of the eighth or ninth grade is enough... What I can't confirm now is, does it need to be simultaneous, or is there an order?"

This door prohibition thing, opening it may not require any power, but if you press it randomly and trigger it wrong, I am afraid that the killer will not be merciful.

The original owner probably only had one person, but with his cultivation, it was very easy to trigger four points at the same time, so it was really hard to judge. If you have to click in order, that’s troublesome; no one knows what the other person’s password order is.

Lu Xingzhou touched his chin and looked at the four small points for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Of course it is simultaneous. Since it is going home, if you can open it at once, who has the patience to click four times? I would rather brush my face than enter a password."
