And the mysterious white mist that brought Song Qingming here drilled into the cyan stone tablet in front of him not long after arriving here, disappearing from Song Qingming's eyes.

Song Qingming, who was teleported here inexplicably, saw that the white mist did not continue to release thunder light to attack him, and there was no danger around, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he didn't know where he was, Song Qingming was very worried about whether he would be found here by Xiao Haoran and the two outside, so he wanted to leave quickly.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that after searching around the stone room, Song Qingming unexpectedly discovered that there was no exit to leave here at all.

Moreover, there were very powerful thunder light restrictions on the walls around the stone room, and even the magic treasures released by Song Qingming could not damage them in the slightest, so there was no way to forcibly break the restrictions and go out from here.

Seeing that he had no way to leave for a while and did not see Xiao Haoran and the others searching in, Song Qingming, who was slightly relieved, searched in the stone room, wanting to find other ways to go out.

And in this stone room, which is only five or six feet in size, except for the cyan stone tablet located in the middle, there was only a pile of rubble and a few corpses of cultivators who had already turned into white bones left around.

These corpses still carried a trace of faint spiritual light, and they were at least Jin Dan cultivators with successful cultivation before they died. It seems that they have fallen for a very long time, at least hundreds of years.

Seeing that there were some charred places on these corpses, as if they were traces of being attacked by thunder light, Song Qingming quickly judged that these people should have fallen under the mysterious thunder light he encountered before.

Before encountering the mysterious thunder light attack released by the white mist, if Song Qingming had not relied on his profound cultivation and possessed the "Thunder Gathering Bead," a special magic tool that restrains thunder light, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to stand here intact.

If it were an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator with average strength, encountering this kind of mysterious thunder light that suddenly attacked, it would indeed be difficult to resist without full preparation, and it is reasonable to fall here.

After seeing the corpses of these fallen Jin Dan cultivators, Song Qingming first stepped forward and searched them.

The result made him somewhat disappointed. He did not find any spiritual objects useful to him, such as storage bags, nearby, and only found two useless magic treasures that were completely damaged.

Seeing this situation, Song Qingming could only sigh disappointedly and dug a pit nearby to bury these nameless cultivators separately.

These people should all be cultivators who came to the secret realm to look for treasures. Regardless of whether they were good or evil before they died, since they have already fallen here, Song Qingming did not want to see them continue to be exposed in the wilderness like this.

Although it was a bit simple, only three feet of yellow soil could bury them, not as good as their infinite glory before they died, but they were finally buried in the earth.

After doing these things, Song Qingming came to the cyan stone tablet located in the middle of the stone room and began to study the patterns on the stone tablet carefully.

Since there is no exit to leave around this stone room, the key place to leave here should be on this stone tablet.

Seeing the corpses of those Jin Dan cultivators before also proved from the side that there must be more than one cultivator who was involved in this place by the mysterious white mist.

And although many of those people fell here, there should still be people who successfully left here, otherwise, the corpses of those Jin Dan cultivators buried by Song Qingming before would not even have a storage bag found on them.

For the next few days, Song Qingming began to study the cyan stone tablet in front of him seriously, trying to find a way to leave here.

This cyan stone tablet stood here, and I don't know how many years of wind and frost it had gone through. The two portraits carved on it were still vivid, without any signs of blurring or damage.

At a glance, one could see that the material used for the stone tablet was definitely not an ordinary vulgar object, at least a high-tier mineral above the third tier in the cultivation world.

Being able to make such a whole piece of high-tier mineral into such a tall stone tablet, it can be seen that the person who erected the tablet must also have a high cultivation, and it is very likely that it was done by those ancient great power cultivators.

Before, through the detailed introduction given to him by Senior Feng He, Song Qingming also had some understanding of this "Wind Thunder Island" secret realm, knowing that this secret realm was a cave heaven and blessed land built by an ancient Soul Transformation great power cultivator.

It's just that later, for some reason, this secret realm was destroyed in the war and was lost in the spatial crack for I don't know how many years before it reappeared in the world nearly ten thousand years ago.

After the "Wind Thunder Island" secret realm reappeared, the numerous high-tier spiritual objects hidden within it not only caused a sensation in the entire "Tianhai Cultivation World" but also attracted the prying eyes of many cultivators outside.

For a time, countless cultivators came to the secret realm to look for treasures, fought fiercely here to compete for spiritual objects, and also caused no small damage to this secret realm that was already somewhat incomplete.

It was not until later that all the Nascent Soul major sects of the "Tianhai Cultivation World" reached a unified agreement on this secret realm that the "Wind Thunder Island" secret realm slowly stabilized and became what it is today.

Over the past ten thousand years, many cultivators have entered the secret realm to look for treasures every hundred years, but there are many restrictions in the "Wind Thunder Island" secret realm. Even if they are destroyed by cultivators, they will self-repair after a period of time.

Especially in the "Wind Thunder Hall," which is located at the core of the entire secret realm, the restrictions here are even more mysterious, and even those Nascent Soul major sects do not know much about what is inside.

Song Qingming had never heard any information about this suddenly appearing stone room from Senior Feng He, and he was also helpless about this.

The two paintings on the stone tablet, one depicting a person with a fairy-like aura, looks like a great power cultivator with profound cultivation. I don't know if it is the original owner of this secret realm.

The other group of palace portraits looks somewhat similar to the map of the entire "Wind Thunder Hall" outside.

It's just that the "Wind Thunder Hall" has become a ruin after so many years, and there is no way to infer what it originally looked like. Song Qingming is also not sure whether his guess is right or wrong.

Song Qingming, who had studied for a long time without finding any clues on the murals, could only try to cast spells to use his own magic power to stimulate the patterns on the stone tablet, but no matter how he tried, there was always no movement on this cyan stone tablet.

For several consecutive days, Song Qingming had studied the entire cyan stone tablet up and down, and all kinds of methods had been tried, but the stone tablet still had no reaction at all, which made him not know how he should walk out of this restriction for a while.

"That's not right! I clearly saw that when the white mist drilled into the stone tablet, there was a sudden flicker on it. Why is there no reaction at all now? Could it be that the method I used is wrong?"

After studying the stone tablet for a few days, Song Qingming, who still had no gains, simply gave up the idea of finding a way out from here, turned around and left the position where the cyan stone tablet was located, and sat cross-legged in a cleaner place on the side.

Subsequently, Song Qingming waved his hand and took out a black token from his body, took it into his hand, and without any hesitation, directly cast spells to start driving the black token in his hand.

This black token in Song Qingming's hand was the teleportation token he obtained by handing over spirit stones at the entrance before entering the secret realm. As long as it is a cultivator who enters the secret realm, everyone will have one on their body.

Since he couldn't find a way to go out, he could only try to see if he could leave this place in advance with the help of the teleportation token in his hand.

After activating the teleportation token in his hand with spells, a layer of faint white spiritual light immediately covered the token. As the spiritual light became brighter and brighter, soon the white light on the entire token wrapped Song Qingming into it.

About a quarter of an hour later, as the white spiritual light on the token became brighter and brighter, it also illuminated the stone room, which was still a bit dark, like daylight.

"I hope it works!"

As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, a powerful spiritual power fluctuation suddenly appeared on the black token, followed by a spiritual energy vortex appearing in the void in front of the white light, sucking the entire white spiritual light into it.

As the white spiritual light disappeared, the entire stone room suddenly dimmed, and it returned to its original calm before long.

And at this time, in mid-air hundreds of feet away from the teleportation formation on "Wind Thunder Island" outside the secret realm, a white light suddenly appeared out of thin air with a flash of spiritual light.

Seeing this scene, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding near the teleportation array, seeing that someone had been teleported out of the secret realm in advance again, hurriedly stepped on magic tools and flew forward to approach.

But what made them somewhat surprised was that as the white light slowly disappeared, no figure appeared inside, only a black teleportation token and a small cloth bag tied to it.

Seeing this scene, the two were also somewhat surprised. After recovering the teleportation token, they opened the cloth bag and saw a small golden butterfly flying out of it suddenly.

This golden butterfly was not of high grade, having just advanced to the second tier. Just after being rescued from the cloth bag by them, it flew toward the distance and disappeared from the two's eyes soon.

The two did not pay attention to this golden butterfly that escaped, but looked at the teleportation token in their hands with full of doubt, somewhat puzzled why what was teleported out was only a low-tier spirit insect.

Since the secret realm opened, at least hundreds of cultivators have been teleported out in advance these days.

These people, some because they were injured and unable to continue exploring the secret realm, some because they were trapped in powerful restrictions and unable to escape, and some were directly scared out by the dangers in the secret realm.

Regardless of the reason for leaving the secret realm in advance, as long as the white light appeared, there would definitely be cultivators coming out from inside. This is the first time the two have seen a situation where only the teleportation token appeared alone without a figure, and they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.

"Strange, since this person used the teleportation token, why didn't he come out directly? Could it be that some accident happened during the teleportation process?"

Hearing the companion's inquiry, another long-bearded old man sighed slightly: "We are not inside, who knows what happened?

In the past, such situations were not without occurrence. Most of them were targeted by others during teleportation, and as a result, they were interrupted at the last moment and could not come out with the teleportation token. No matter what happened to this person, as long as he is still alive, he will be teleported out uniformly when the secret realm closes, so we don't need to worry about him."

"Brother is right. As long as we can successfully recover the teleportation token, it doesn't matter whether anyone comes out or not, and it has nothing to do with us.

Since these people chose to take the risk to enter the secret realm to look for treasures, they must bear the risk of death. There is no such thing as a white opportunity in this world."

Just after the two finished speaking, a burst of white light suddenly lit up not far from them.

Seeing that there were cultivators teleported out in advance nearby again, they did not pay attention to this matter anymore. After putting away the teleportation token in their hands, they hurriedly turned and approached the position where the other white light was located.

At the same time, inside the secret realm, Song Qingming, who was trapped in the stone room.

Sensing that the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" he released had successfully been teleported out of the stone room, Song Qingming, who was still staying on the spot, suddenly showed a look of joy on his face.

"It seems that my guess is not wrong. The restriction in this stone room cannot block the teleportation token. As long as you use the teleportation token on your body, you can also leave here at any time.

Most of the cultivators who accidentally touched the restriction and entered here before also used the teleportation token to leave here in the end."

Even though he had just used a teleportation token, Song Qingming was not worried that he would not be able to leave next, and his face still maintained a smile.

After killing those few Foundation Establishment cultivators of the "Golden Blade Gate" in the outer hall before, although Song Qingming did not find any good things from them, the few teleportation tokens in their hands all fell into his hands.

Originally, he thought he would not use these teleportation tokens, but unexpectedly, they helped him a lot this time. Song Qingming was very fortunate about this, and fortunately, he did not choose to discard these things casually at that time.

When using the teleportation token just now, Song Qingming just tied a spirit insect "Golden Illusion Butterfly" he had cultivated for many years to the teleportation token, making it successfully teleported out of this stone room.

And he himself took the initiative to walk out of the teleportation formation covered by white light at the last moment and did not choose to teleport out of the secret realm directly now.

The reason why he did this was also because according to the rules on "Wind Thunder Island," even cultivators who were teleported out of the secret realm in advance could not leave "Wind Thunder Island" immediately.

Everyone must wait until the secret realm closes before they can uniformly use the teleportation formation on the island to disperse and leave. This is also to protect all cultivators who have obtained spiritual objects in the secret realm, so as not to be targeted by people with ulterior motives after they leave.

But for Song Qingming, who killed Qiu Wuxin not long ago, leaving the secret realm also means that he will be exposed to everyone in advance.

After all, Qiu Wuxin had already died in his hands for several days, and the people of "Falling Maple Valley" who were still in the secret realm should have discovered this matter as well.

If he goes out now, in case the people of "Falling Maple Valley" notice that Qiu Wuxin's storage bag is on him, he will inevitably be targeted by them in advance, which is not a safe choice for Song Qingming.

It is better to wait until before the secret realm closes and then go out with the many cultivators who stayed inside. At that time, there will be many cultivators on the island, and it will not be easy for the opponent to notice him, which is definitely safer than going out now.

Anyway, he has already found a way to leave here, so he doesn't have to worry about being trapped here for a while. Next, just wait patiently for the secret realm to close.

Compared to other places in the secret realm, this stone room, which I don't know where it is located in the "Wind Thunder Hall," has become the best hiding place for Song Qingming now by a blessing in disguise.

Thinking of this, the expression on Song Qingming's face also became much more relaxed at this moment.

After casting spells to sense that the heaven and earth spiritual energy around was not weaker than outside, Song Qingming stayed on the spot and sat cross-legged patiently, starting to practice the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" in his body.

After the battle for spiritual objects in the "Spirit Medicine Garden" came to an end, the many Jin Dan cultivators who entered the "Wind Thunder Hall" to compete for spiritual objects, as the ownership of spiritual objects was gradually determined, also began to gradually choose to leave the vicinity of the "Wind Thunder Hall."

Cultivators who were lucky enough to grab spiritual objects inside would naturally choose to find a safe place to hide or teleport out of the secret realm in advance at this time, just like Song Qingming.

Only some loose cultivators who had no gains were still somewhat unwilling at this moment and stayed near the "Wind Thunder Hall" to explore.

And the people of "Qingyang Gate," who had been searching on the spot for several days, had not been able to find Song Qingming's trace. In the end, Xiao Haoran also gave up the search very helplessly and chose to take others to leave there and go to other places in the secret realm to continue exploring.

Only the people of "Falling Maple Valley," who were somewhat at a loss because of Qiu Wuxin's sudden disappearance, had no intention of going to search for spiritual objects.

After not being able to find any news of Qiu Wuxin for so many consecutive days, they finally felt that something was not quite right. It is really possible that Qiu Wuxin has fallen in the secret realm.

It's just that they still cannot determine whether Qiu Wuxin's fall was killed by someone or died in the powerful restriction in the secret realm.

Under the arrangement of Sect Master Luo Liangshan, a Jin Dan elder of "Falling Maple Valley" chose to use the teleportation token to leave the secret realm in advance and inform the sect's Chen Chen Laozu outside of the news of Qiu Wuxin's disappearance.

Others followed Luo Liangshan to continue searching along the place where Qiu Wuxin disappeared, hoping to find some clues about his fall.

Qiu Wuxin is the direct descendant of their own Chen Chen Laozu. Having disappeared in the secret realm so inexplicably, it is difficult for them to explain this matter after going back, so they can only search patiently, hoping to find a clue that can explain this matter.

Just when other cultivators in the secret realm outside were still searching desperately for spiritual objects everywhere, Song Qingming, who was hiding alone in the stone room and practicing with peace of mind, did not care about what happened outside.

After more than ten days passed, Song Qingming, who already felt that the heaven and earth spiritual energy in his body was gradually saturated, put away his magic power and stood up from the ground.

At this time, it is estimated that there is only one or two days left before the secret realm closes.

He has absorbed so much heaven and earth spiritual energy in his body at once, and he still needs a certain amount of time to slowly absorb and refine it. He cannot store any more heaven and earth spiritual energy in his body! After getting up and moving his hands and feet, Song Qingming took down the "Thunder Infant Fruit" he had been carrying on his back. Seeing that the thunder light remaining on the spiritual fruit had all disappeared at this moment, he took out a wooden box again to pack it and put it into his storage magic tool.

After putting away the "Thunder Infant Fruit" on his body, Song Qingming still did not rush to use the teleportation token to leave this place, but came to the front of the cyan stone tablet again.

After carefully checking the cyan stone tablet, seeing that it still had no changes, Song Qingming waved his hand calmly and took out the bead magic tool "Thunder Gathering Bead" on his body.

After casting spells to drive the "Thunder Gathering Bead" in his hand, a burst of white thunder light immediately flashed on it, exactly the same as the thunder light released by the mysterious white mist that Song Qingming encountered before.

The "Thunder Gathering Bead," a special magic tool, has the effect of restraining thousands of thunder methods in the cultivation world. It can not only absorb various thunder-attribute attacks released by the enemy but also store a part of the thunder light for his own use.

Last time, it absorbed a large amount of white thunder light released by the mysterious white mist, and the "Thunder Gathering Bead" was also full. At this moment, the white thunder light emerging on it was not weaker than the one released by the mysterious white mist before.

While staying in the stone room to sit and practice these days, Song Qingming was also constantly thinking about what was going on with this cyan stone tablet and how he could stimulate the restriction on it again.

Thinking back and forth, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Song Qingming's mind, and he thought of the situation he had been ignoring before.

The white thunder light was flickering on it before the mysterious white mist drilled into the stone tablet. If he tried with the same thunder method, would he be able to stimulate the restriction above?

This place is so mysterious that even Senior Feng He might not know about this cyan stone tablet. It is possible that some treasures are hidden inside.

If there is any opportunity in the stone tablet, since he has the fate to come here, he naturally cannot miss it.

Even if he didn't know what was hidden in the cyan stone tablet, Song Qingming didn't want to give up easily. Holding the "Thunder Gathering Bead," he hesitated for a moment on the spot, but still directly covered the thunder light in his hand on the cyan stone tablet.

As the white thunder light appeared above the stone tablet, the cyan stone tablet, which had no reaction at all, suddenly vibrated, and then the two carvings on it also lit up with bursts of white spiritual light.

"This was really guessed by me!"

Seeing that the murals on the stone tablet suddenly had a reaction, a look of excitement appeared on Song Qingming's face, and he locked his gaze firmly on the murals emitting white light.

After the white light lit up, Song Qingming was soon shrouded in white light, and then he was directly sucked into the cyan stone tablet, coming to a void that was incomparably dark.

"Could this be inside the stone tablet!"

Before Song Qingming could figure out his position, a dazzling white light appeared in front of him, followed by a huge palace map appearing in front of Song Qingming.

This map was exactly the same as what Song Qingming saw on the stone tablet outside, but above the largest palace on it, there was an extra figure holding a flying sword with a fairy-like aura, which was exactly the other portrait on the back of the stone tablet.

After the white portrait appeared in front of Song Qingming, it kept flickering with bursts of spiritual light. Before long, those palaces on the portrait that were still motionless suddenly seemed to come alive, floating out from the portrait and flying in front of Song Qingming. (End of this chapter)
