Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

With Mo Juren's deliberate reminder, the abnormal situation somewhere at the bottom of the lake could no longer be concealed, and it was soon noticed by the monks who rushed over.

The impact is self-evident. Too many people were so excited that they were incoherent, as if they had really encountered some kind of heaven-defying opportunity.

What’s a pity is that the cultivation base of these monks is too low, so even though they discovered the existence of the formation, they ultimately found that they were completely helpless.

But this is not a problem. After trying to break the formation without success, everyone immediately took out their communication tools and transmitted information to the forces behind them.

There are many sects in the nearby area, such as the most powerful "Cangming Sect", which is a real super sect with strong masters in the fusion realm.

There are also countless sects or families that are slightly weaker than them. Once they learn of the situation here, they will definitely rush here as soon as possible.

Of course, compared to other forces, Lingyi City is the closest, and there is no need for anyone to send a message. At the moment when the nine beams of light shot up into the sky, the three city lords and deputy city lords in the Void Refinement Stage took action at the same time.

"It's coming so fast!" Somewhere by the lake, not long after, Mo Juren sensed three powerful auras coming at a high speed from the direction of Lingyi City.

As for the identity of the visitor, he could guess who it was without much thought, but he didn't care about it at all. Instead, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

After all, the cultivation of the monks present here is too poor, so they can only report the news. These three are qualified to be the real pathfinders, and I don’t have to do anything now, just wait patiently.

Although he had Zi Dian as his support, Mo Juren still didn't dare to take it lightly. Not to mention the existence of many powerful masters in the Refinement Realm, what if the great demon in the Fusion Realm that Su Ziru reminded him of also appeared?

These are all things that need to be considered carefully. If you insist on doing something when you know it is impossible, then it would be a bit risky.

Besides, he is not alone now, he has a little burden with him, so he naturally needs to think carefully, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret.

Don't be in a hurry to show up now. It's not too late to act when the time is right. This way you can be able to advance and retreat freely. If there is a chance later, you can take advantage of it. It doesn't matter how much you gain. But if things cannot be done, it means that the opportunity is not there, so you should retreat decisively.

"Uncle!" But at this moment, I suddenly felt my hand being gently held. It was Xiao Ya. She was obviously frightened by this sudden change, and her beautiful face was full of worry.

"Don't worry, it's okay!" Mo Juren gently patted the other person's white hand a few times and comforted him in a gentle tone. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, coupled with his calm expression, the latter immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's..."

"Don't worry, just wait patiently." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, and after hearing this, Xiao Ya understood that her uncle must have had a plan a long time ago.

Not long after, three figures appeared at the end of the sky, and the expressions of many monks present changed slightly.

The three people who came were the three city lords of Lingyi City. Except for Mo Juren, whom he met for the first time, most of the other cultivators, even those body cultivators, knew them.

The leader among the three should be the city lord, a silver-haired old man wearing a black brocade robe, and his cultivation is in the late stage of refining emptiness.

On the left and right sides, there is a man and a woman floating respectively. The man looks middle-aged, but he is extremely strong and tall. His figure like an iron tower gives people a strong sense of oppression.

In contrast, the woman had a charming figure and fair skin. Her beautiful face was covered by a purple veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly, but she must be quite good-looking.

The cultivation base of these two people is in the middle stage of Refining Void, plus the city lord is in the late stage of Refining Void, their strength is extraordinary, which is enough to show the importance of Lingyi City.

The moment he saw the three people, Mo Juren also secretly rejoiced.

It turned out that my decision of not rushing to show up was the right one. These three people were not good people. Rather than exposing my identity and being wary of each other and engaging in intrigue, it would be better to hide behind the scenes.

The three of them did not pause for too long. After their spiritual senses detected the situation at the bottom of the lake, they directly transformed into three beams of light and flew towards the surface of the lake. In the blink of an eye, they were all submerged in the lake.

It waited until it got close to the formation and then stopped again.

"Sure enough, there is a formation, and it's of a fairly high level. What's more interesting is that it looks like this formation was set up not long ago. It seems that someone else has already got there first!" The silver-haired old man looked at it for a while, then transmitted his voice with a smile.

"What surprises me even more is that there actually is something strange in this 'Hidden Dragon Lake', but why has it not been discovered before?" The burly man frowned, looking completely confused.

"Who knows? Maybe there is some hidden secret." The silver-haired old man shook his head slightly and continued,

"There is no time to lose. You and I will start right away. As long as we break the formation or find the person who went ahead, everything will be clear."

"Brother Guo is absolutely right! In that case, let me try out the quality of this formation first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man instantly flashed in front of the invisible restriction formed by the formation. His body was shining with golden light. He quickly raised a golden fist and then slammed directly towards the restriction.

Accompanied by a dull sonic boom, terrifying energy spread out, causing huge whirlpools to quickly condense around it.

Somewhere that was bombarded, a thick golden light curtain instantly appeared, with countless golden runes flowing on the surface.

"This... this is not a restriction, but a space barrier!" Seeing the scene in front of them, all three of them were shocked.

“The space barrier can only be condensed by some legendary ancient formations. In terms of defense level, ordinary restrictions are far from comparable.” The burly man flew back and said solemnly.

"It's indeed quite troublesome!" The silver-haired old man sighed. Although the burly man did not use his full strength in the previous test, he was definitely not weak. However, the space barrier did not move at all, which showed how terrifyingly strong it was.

With the strength of these three people, if they attack with all their strength, they can still successfully break the formation, but the mana and time required will be extremely long, which is really not worth it!

"Maybe I can give it a try." But at this moment, the mysterious woman on the side suddenly spoke, and upon hearing this, the silver-haired old man and the burly man were both stunned.

"Fairy Gong, are you sure about what you are going to do?" the silver-haired old man asked hurriedly.

"Many years ago, when I was traveling, I got an object by chance. It should be no problem to use it to break through this space barrier." The mysterious woman smiled slightly, and while speaking, her jade hand reached directly to her slender waist, where a simple jade bottle only three inches in size was hanging.

After taking it off, as the bottle cap was opened, a gray light flashed, and then a mini silkworm with a dark gray body emerged out of thin air.

This silkworm was only two inches long and looked extremely ordinary, which made the silver-haired old man and the burly man look puzzled and fall into deep thought.

It was not until a moment later that the silver-haired old man was the first to react, and asked in a trembling voice: "This... could this be the legendary space-type spirit insect, the Sky-Smashing Silkworm?"

"Brother Guo is right. This is indeed the silkworm. However, it is only in the larval stage and needs to be further cultivated. When I first got it, it was still in the cocoon. It was only hatched successfully by chance a year ago." The mysterious woman nodded and did not deny it.

"This is a truly wild and strange insect. Even if it is a larva, it is already very amazing!" The silver-haired old man couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

'Broken Sky Silkworm' is a relatively special existence in the spiritual insect rankings. It is born with a trace of space talent, and is particularly able to grow by feeding on space energy.

Right now, this silkworm is still in its infancy, and apart from some innate instincts, it does not have much strength. But once it grows to maturity and breaks out of its cocoon to become a butterfly, it will be the famous 'Sky-Eating Butterfly' in ancient records.

This butterfly is a difficult character that even the strong ones in the fusion realm can't do anything about.

"It is truly a cause for celebration that Fairy Gong was able to obtain such a powerful spiritual insect! With this insect, it will be easy to break through this space barrier."

"All I can say is give it a try!" The mysterious woman nodded slightly, then issued an order with her mind moving. The next moment, she disappeared directly, and when she reappeared, she had already landed on the golden light curtain.

I saw the little silkworm first testing the light curtain, and then opening its small mouth and biting down.

A magical scene appeared. The light curtain that was supposed to be indestructible suddenly became completely defenseless and was easily bitten open.

What's even more strange is that a faint gray mist will be left where it is bitten, making it impossible to repair the light curtain.

And this was just the beginning. After the initial attempt, the little silkworm suddenly became excited and turned into a residual image, speeding up its gnawing. The small opening was also expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In addition, the light curtain could not be repaired at the places that were torn, so it only lasted for a moment before it completely shattered.

Seeing this scene, even though the silver-haired old man and the burly man had expected it, they were still shocked.

This 'Broken Sky Silkworm' is really too terrifying. It is simply the nemesis of space energy. Any space-related secret techniques, treasures, etc. will probably have no chance of winning when confronted with it.

As the space barrier disappeared, the formation was naturally broken. The scene that came into view at this moment made the three people look shocked.

"This... this is a space crack!" Looking at the huge gap about several feet long in front of him, the burly man said excitedly.

"It is indeed a space crack, and it is very likely to lead to a secret place somewhere." The silver-haired old man nodded and continued.

"It looks like someone has already gone in, which means the danger level isn't too high. Let's get going quickly, lest any good stuff falls into someone else's hands."

"Brother Guo is absolutely right!"

"..."

The plan was set, and the three of them did not delay any longer. They all took out their magical protective weapons, then turned into three beams of light and flew directly into the crack, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the low-level monks in the nearby area had completely lost their scruples and began to talk.

It has been basically confirmed that the other end of this space crack is very likely to be connected to a secret realm. What this means is self-evident, and almost all the monks have eager looks on their faces.

Unfortunately, not everyone can pass through the space cracks. At least one needs to have the cultivation level of Nascent Soul Stage or above. Otherwise, not to mention entering the secret realm, one might die halfway.

Among the many cultivators around, most of them are still low-level, and there are only two or three at the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, except for these few Nascent Soul cultivators who mustered up their courage and flew into the crack, the rest could only stand at the entrance and look at each other.

……

"Two groups of people have already gone in, uncle, why aren't you leaving yet?" In the flowers by the lake, seeing that Mo Juren didn't move, the little girl hurriedly reminded him.

"It is indeed time to act." Mo Juren nodded slightly, but suddenly said,

"This trip is unpredictable, and the degree of danger is unknown. With my strength, I can protect myself, but it would be too dangerous if I bring you with me. You should stay here for the time being and wait for me to come back."

"Then uncle must be careful." Xiao Ya naturally wanted to go along, but when she thought of her own limited strength, she gave up the idea.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If everything goes well, I'll be back soon." Mo Juren whispered to comfort her again, then dived into the lake without looking back.

Not long after, he also came to the vicinity of the space crack and looked at it carefully.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and everyone looked at him sideways, but that was all. No one dared to step forward to find out anything.

At the same time, in Lingyi City, the location of the teleportation point suddenly became lively, with one or even several figures teleporting in from time to time.

None of these people are simple. Their cultivation is at least at the Spirit Transformation Stage, and there are even two strong men in the Void Refinement Stage.

After arriving, these people did not stop for a moment and headed towards the west of the city.

……

Mo Juren was naturally very familiar with entering space cracks, and he was also well aware of how dangerous it was, so he was always cautious after entering.

Fortunately, the thing he worried about did not happen. He walked out of the crack passage smoothly and then entered an unfamiliar space.

Only then did he notice that this was actually a world of ice and snow. The sky and earth were filled with cold air, and everything he saw was covered in ice and snow.

The area here is extremely vast, at least with his spiritual power, he can't detect the end at all. The spiritual energy is also extremely rich, not inferior to some holy places for cultivation. (End of this chapter)
