ninety thousand miles

Chapter 689 Core
The evil spirit did not pass by, but the sound of the golden bell changed again - it returned to its previous tone.

The clouds in the Tai Su domain finally broke through the last layer of obstacles and poured down.

……

"what is this?"

On Yingfeng Terrace, a Four Gods Palace monk looked around at the clouds lingering around him and muttered to himself. Towers, mountains... everything in the secret realm was blurred in the clouds.

He took out a jade token, poured spiritual energy into it, and said, "Everyone, come to Yingfengtai."

……

All the monks in the secret realm stopped.

……

"Taisuyu?" Li Chuan felt that the shape of the clouds was very familiar. He took a breath and said, "Is Immortal Weng taking action?"

Shortly after entering the Luoxia Secret Realm, he met Jiang Song who was alone. At this time, they were heading towards Yingfengtai.

"What's going on?" Jiang Song stopped and asked.

"Don't worry about anything else, just protect me." Li Chuan sat down and took out the Tianyin Pot and the Butterfly Spirit.

"Okay." Jiang Song said.

The gentle and soft sound of the kettle began to sound.

……

"Wen Guying, give up." The demon's voice sounded in Wen Guying's ears again, "Even if you find it, it can't help you, because just now, it used up its last strength to fend me off. That's why Tai Su Yu fell so quickly."

Wen Guying ignored her. He sank into the spiritual energy vortex with his whole body and soul. If he sank a little deeper, just a little deeper, he would be able to touch the core of the Luoxia Secret Realm...

"If you don't believe me, wait until you are completely submerged in it, and then I will come to take your body away." said the demon spirit.

It was just to distract him, Wen Guying should remain silent.

The demon spirit continued, "After the fall of Taisu Domain, the entire Luoxia Secret Realm is completely under our control. I failed, but my failure is not important. There will be many opportunities to make up for it in the future. But you..."

Dozens of sword lights flew towards the direction of the evil spirit.

But the evil spirit completely avoided the sword light and pounced on Wen Guying's position from another direction.

Wen Guying felt the spiritual energy float a little, but this time, the evil spirit was not pushed away.

A gloomy aura lingered around Wen Guying.

"Soul Nail, Soul-Eroding Cauldron, are there any others? Are there any magic weapons from Xuanmen that can target me?" The demon spirit's long hair fell on Wen Guying's shoulders and hung down into the spiritual energy.

The demon's hand fell on Wen Guying's back. Wen Guying did not resist. The pale, ghostly hands easily penetrated his body and tore his flesh.

"It seems that there is no more. Then..." The demon spirit bent down, and her body became as vague and illusory as a shadow again. She hugged Wen Guying and lowered her head. Her blurred face gradually overlapped with Wen Guying's face, and then her hands, and her entire body... and finally the dense black hair, which meandered in the wound on his back, tightened little by little, and finally the wound was sewn up.

"So, I have completed my part." The demon spirit said using Wen Guying's body. After saying this, she paused for a moment and added, "Idiot."

She felt the spiritual energy rejecting her.

She shook her head nonchalantly and said, "You are just a small spirit of a secret realm. I have kept you here until now only because..."

The demon suddenly lowered his head.

She saw some red light shining on Wen Guying's body. That was... that was the sword energy she had felt before. Not long ago, that sword energy had divided her body into several parts. It's just that Wen Guying's strength was too weak, so she recovered easily... But that kind of sword energy could indeed pose a threat to her, or at least cause some trouble.

But now... she was trapped in a body again. Leave.

The demon spirit made a decision immediately. When she was about to leave, she found that she couldn't leave - this body had been torn apart.

"Do you really want to die?" the demon spirit asked in shock.

Wen Guying still did not respond.

At this time, the vortex of spiritual energy surged violently...

……

Wen Guying felt that the spiritual energy that was releasing kindness to him was constantly pulling him down.

He continued to sink until he was immersed in an icy air. He opened his eyes and saw countless pieces of ice of various sizes floating in the magnificent light.

He tried to raise his hand and it came up.

It was his consciousness, not his body, that was pulled into this space. Wen Guying realized this. Here... this should be the core of the Luoxia Secret Realm. The consciousness of the secret realm may be hidden here. After realizing this, he stood up, walked through the broken ice, and walked towards the magnificent light.

Different reactions to the past appeared in the broken ice.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he heard a faint voice calling his name.

"Revisiting the past."

Wen Guying stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from. He saw a ball of red aura floating not far away.

Consciousness of the secret realm?
Wen Guying's intuition told him that it was not the real person, so he asked, "Is it the Immortal Yingfeng?"

"I'm just a part of her." said the red aura.

"How can we help you?" Wen Guying asked.

"Don't worry, time stands still here. All your questions can be answered." said the red aura.

Wen Guying looked around at the broken ice and asked, "How many times have I come here?"

"Every choice you make has brought you here. So, this is the first time that you are complete." The red aura replied, "This is why you can be here, but she can't."

"She? Demon spirit?" Wen Guying asked, and then he realized, "So she can't get the core of the secret realm?"

"That's right." Hong Ling said, "She has been wavering. There were several times when she even chose to give up and leave."

"What is your reason for letting Xuanmen know the time and place of the secret realm's emergence in advance?" Wen Guying asked in a deep voice.

"Because I must tell the truth." said Hong Ling.

"Then why do we need more than 160 monks?" Wen Guying asked.

"That was not my decision." said Hong Ling.

"Is it Immortal Weng?" Wen Guying asked.

"It seems you already know a lot." said Hong Ling.

"Please tell me again, Immortal." Wen Guying said.

"Okay." Hong Ling agreed. She said, "You must remember what I said." She paused. "During the great catastrophe of gods and demons, I looked at that beam of light and suffered a severe blow to my path. After that, I have been recovering from my injuries. A thousand years ago, Tian Su asked me to refine a spiritual treasure into a magic weapon, and I agreed. After I refined that magic weapon, a strange phenomenon appeared between heaven and earth, and the place where I was healing was also sensed by those who were interested."
