I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"Although I don't know what means Fellow Daoist Wei used to enter this tortoise-belly space, but seeing that Ye Ya and the other two also regard you as a threat... Hehe, does Fellow Daoist count this as walking into a trap?"

The cold voice of the girl in white robe sounded in Wei Tu's head, with a rather mocking tone.

However, these words had a different meaning to the ears of Wei Tu, a seasoned man.

If they were really hostile, they would have started fighting long ago instead of deliberately bullying him with words.

These words were nothing more than an attempt to use the huge threat posed by the environment here to force him to take sides immediately.

Therefore, after hearing this, Wei Tu did not hesitate at all, and directly gave up the false and asked with a flash of his eyes: "Fairy Xue, are you planning to cooperate with me to deal with Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou together?"

"In this matter... I can ask Wei to cooperate, but Fairy Snow must also let Wei trust you, so as to avoid Wei shooting himself in the foot and living in regret in this turtle belly space."

In the outside world, he had the formation flags to maintain the barrier passage, and he could use the Sky-Splitting Eagle's "Sky-Splitting Escape" to escape from here, coming and going freely, without falling into the danger of being besieged by the two parties.

But... since he dared to enter this "turtle belly space", he naturally did not want to return empty-handed.

And this would inevitably require them to cross the "lava sea" like Ye Ya and the white-robed girl, and head to the tall "J"-shaped building on the other side of the "lava sea".

But the key to the problem is that the node of the barrier channel is on the east coast of the lava sea, which is where he is standing at the moment.

Once you leave this place, it will be difficult to find a space node and escape from this "turtle belly space".

By then - if he was surrounded by Ye Ya and the white-robed girl, even if he had extraordinary abilities, he might die in this foreign land.

Therefore, after hearing that the girl in white robe had the intention to cooperate with him, Wei Tu did not resist in his heart. However, the premise was that there was a certain basis for cooperation between them - that is, he must believe that the girl in white robe would not engage in "secondary cooperation" with Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou here.

In addition, Wei Tu also kept this in mind. He wanted to find out the "organization" behind Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou and test the white-robed girl to see if he could get any secrets out of her.

However, this little thought is not worth mentioning in the face of the great opportunity of the "Turtle Belly Space".

And on the other side...

Seeing that Wei Tu was willing to cooperate, the girl in white robe couldn't help but feel happy. She knew Wei Tu's ability. Now Wei Tu was inclined to their side. Inside this "turtle belly space", the power of their Snow Infant Clan would undoubtedly have a great advantage.

As for Wei Tu's little thoughts, with her intelligence, she was aware of them, but she didn't care.

After all, in front of the immortal fate, even beloved relatives and friends sometimes have to step back a little, not to mention the force that has just recently cooperated with the Snow Infant Clan.

Even if Wei Tu hadn't said this, she would have told it all in order to publicize the huge threat posed by Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou to Wei Tu.

"My Snow Infant Clan is just a foreign race to the human race. No matter how much I say, I don't think Fellow Daoist Wei will believe it easily."

"But... the Jingwang Society won't care about these. In order to protect the secrets in the tortoise's belly, Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou will never let you go..."

The girl in white robe smiled coldly.

She knew very well that when asking others to make a choice, it would be better to do her best to discredit the other side instead of promoting how good her side is.

This way, the chances of success are greater.

Moreover, what she said was not wrong. If Wei Tu was not a cultivator of the Jingwang Society, he would be hunted down by the Jingwang Society 100% sure after entering this place by mistake.

"Jingwanghui." Upon hearing this, Wei Tu narrowed his eyes slightly and realized that this was the name of the force behind Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou.

If he wants to get more information about this organization, he will have to wait until he really confirms cooperation with the girl in white robe and then let her reveal the information.

"For the opportunity here, although my Snow Infant Clan and the King Jing Society had a cooperative relationship before, now... it's just a life-and-death battle. Brother Wei should be able to see this..."

The girl in white robe turned her head and glanced coldly at Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou, who were immersed in the lava sea water with slightly ugly expressions, and then spoke.

As soon as these words fell.

Wei Tu would not hesitate any longer and immediately agreed to cooperate with the girl in white robe.

This time, they didn't communicate via telepathy, but actually spoke to each other.

"Wei Tu! You are from the human race, how can you cooperate with the Snow Infant tribe?" Seeing this, Ye Ya couldn't help but get anxious and immediately turned the tables on Wei Tu.

She didn't know that Wei Tu had already seen through her tricks when he was in the outside world, and she mistakenly believed that everything could still be salvaged if she "reversed right and wrong" later.

Therefore, as soon as she made a move, she intended to use the righteousness of the human race to directly intimidate Wei Tu and force Wei Tu not to join forces with the girl in white robe.

This kind of method has been effective in the past King Shocking Meetings and is enough to intimidate fellow cultivators.

But unfortunately, these words fell on deaf ears of Wei Tu.

"Now that I have agreed to join forces with Fairy Snow, it is time for Fairy Snow to tell me the secrets of this turtle belly space and the Jingwang Society..."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and looked at the girl in white robe with burning eyes.

Although he and the girl in white robe did not mention this matter during their previous communication, both parties knew it well. This was the basis for their cooperation and trust-building.

If we don't tell him about the turtle belly space and the Jingwang Society... then, unless he has gone crazy, he will never cooperate with the Snow Infant Clan who also have "ulterior motives" towards him.

The Jingwang Society, to which Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou belong, are hungry wolves, eyeing him covetously, but that doesn't mean the Snow Infant Clan are harmless sheep.

Hearing this, the white-robed girl nodded slightly and agreed directly, saying: "This... To be honest, my Snow Infant Clan doesn't know much about the turtle belly space. Most of the information was obtained from the Jingwang Society..."

After a while, following the narration of the white-robed girl, Wei Tu roughly understood this "turtle belly space" and the alliance between the Snow Infant Clan and the Jingwang Society.

This "turtle belly space" is formed by the remains of a true spirit that has reached the peak of the fusion realm - "Lishan Turtle".

This turtle also had a Taoist name during his lifetime, called "Lishan Taoist", and was very famous in the spiritual world.

However, this happened hundreds of thousands of years ago.

In today's spiritual world, except for some old guys, almost no one knows that hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a powerful true spirit named Lishan Taoist who was active in the world of immortal cultivation.

The Stone Cocoon Secret Realm is the place chosen by Taoist Li Shan for himself to sit and die.

In other words, this secret realm was originally the burial tomb opened up by the powerful true spirit of Taoist Lishan.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Snow Infant Clan monks and the Blood Stone Clan monks, who were friendly with the human race at the time, jointly discovered the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm... The two forces have been cooperating in the development of the realm.

During this period, the Snow Infant Clan was lucky enough to obtain a tortoise shell token that could open the "turtle belly space".

Unfortunately, neither the Snow Infant Clan nor the Blood Stone Sect have ever discovered the tomb within the tomb in the "Turtle Belly Space".

The Snow Infant Clan also regarded this tortoise shell token as an ordinary item.

Until seven years ago——

After the Snow Infant Clan "betrayed" the human race and joined forces with the Fog Ghost Clan, he learned about this from the monks of the "Jingwang Society".

And this is why the Snow Infant Clan temporarily changed the rules of the sword fighting competition today.

He was providing convenience for himself and the monks of Jingwang Society to enter this place.

As for the opportunity in the "Turtle Belly Space" and the detailed information of the Jingwang Meeting, the girl in white robe was vague and only said that she didn't know either...

As for the latter, Wei Tu felt that the girl in white robe should not have lied. Since the Jingwanghui and the Snow Infant Clan were only temporarily allied, they would not easily reveal too much information about themselves.

"But the former..."

"She must have lied!"

"There must be something in this turtle's belly that the Snow Infant Clan and King Jing would care about. Otherwise, how could Pei Hong's fiancée risk her life to enter this place?"

Wei Tu sneered secretly.

However, this does not affect the "alliance" between the two parties. For him, it is harmless and there is no need to point it out directly.

“The Jingwang Society should have known about the existence of the turtle belly space a long time ago, but the Blood Stone Sect and our clan have been guarding this place...so it wasn’t until seven years ago, when our clan and the human race became hostile, that they sought cooperation with our clan…” The white-robed girl spoke cryptically, pointing the finger at Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou.

in short.

If Wei Tu wants to seize the opportunity from the turtle's belly, he must unite with the Snow Infant Clan to target Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou who know more information here.

Secret information is sometimes stronger than the strength on paper!

"What the Snow Fairy said is very true."

"If you want to seize the opportunity here, it is necessary to kill Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and agreed.

However, the white-robed girl who heard this couldn't help but glance at Wei Tu, as if to say: What will you do if Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou are really killed?
After all, when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.

Once Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou are dead, there will be no need for the Snow Infant Clan to cooperate with Wei Tu anymore.

Fortunately, both of them knew that this alliance was just a "false agreement" and that their words could not be trusted. Therefore, after the white-robed girl's random thoughts circulated in her mind for a while, they were immediately suppressed deep in her mind.

……

With the cooperation with the Snow Infant Tribe.

For a short period of time, Wei Tu was no longer afraid of man-made dangers in the turtle's belly space.

He no longer hesitated and immediately entered the lava sea in front of him like Ye Ya and others.

As soon as he entered, Wei Tu immediately realized how difficult this lava sea was. There was a rare "no-fly ban" on the sea surface, which strictly prohibited monks from flying over the sea.

Or in other words - this is the power of some kind of rules, which compels these Void-Refining Monks to rely only on their magic power and physical bodies to cross the lava sea in front of them.

Moreover, this lava sea water is not only extremely hot, but also extremely heavy. Every step you take feels like you are carrying several mountains on your legs.

“No wonder this lava sea of ​​only a hundred miles has stranded Ye Ya, Xue Qiongyu and others for so long…” Wei Tu was immediately relieved, knowing what was going on.

However, just when he was about to be happy that his physical strength was once again put to good use, the sea water under his feet suddenly became heavier, making it difficult for him and Ye Ya and the others to move forward.

But after seeing this situation.

Wei Tu was not discouraged.

First, judging from the special rules of the lava sea, this turtle belly space meets the characteristics of the inherited secret realm: experience! Selectively select monks.

This means that the danger in the secret realm should not be great, at least not like the "Spiritual Zombie Secret Realm" in the lower world, which can easily cause the death of cultivators.

Secondly, even if his body refining realm really had a "miraculous effect" in the lava sea, he did not dare to bypass Ye Ya and the white-robed girl and the other two groups of cultivators to break into the "J"-shaped building on the shore first.

After all, when leaving, who knows if you will have to pass through the lava sea again.

By then, the opportunity will be seized by him, forcing the two groups of monks to "merge" again. He will have the life to take it, but not the life to enjoy it!

He had a clear judgment of the current situation: to unite with the Snow Infant Clan and see if he could be the fisherman in this fierce battle between the snipe and the clam.

If it really doesn't work, waiting out from the turtle's belly and then hunting in secret is also a feasible option.

There is no need to fight to the death in the turtle's belly to determine the winner.

“Just treat it as a practice.”

Wei Tu suppressed his distracting thoughts and carefully felt the coordination between his physical body and his magic power in this extreme environment.

Gradually, he became more focused and walked faster.

The distance between them and the Snow Infant Clan is getting closer and closer.

at the same time.

The white-robed girl in the lava sea had a blush on her cold face due to the huge pressure of the sea water, and tiny beads of sweat visible to the naked eye appeared on her nose.

Seeing Wei Tu so relaxed, he immediately felt a little envious and thought to himself, "As expected of him, he is at the peak of the fifth level of physical training."

It is well known that physical training is difficult.

All cultivators who can reach the fifth level of body refining are people with great perseverance and great talent.

She has no shortage of perseverance and physical training resources, but the only thing she lacks is talent in physical training, which has always been a regret for her.

"Young Clan Leader, do you want to take action against him?" At this time, another Snow Infant Clan cultivator asked after his eyes flashed slightly at the white-robed girl.

As an alien race, he naturally had no good feelings towards the human race, a hostile race. In addition, the conversation between the white-robed girl and Wei Tu just now was all through telepathy...

Therefore, even though he knew that his young clan leader had already cooperated with Wei Tu, in his heart, he only thought that it was just a pretense to deal with the threat of being "attacked from both sides".

Now, Wei Tu took the initiative to approach them, while Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou were still far away from them...

At this moment, the opportunity to take action against Wei Tu, the lone human, has obviously matured!

“If this boy was an ordinary human cultivator, we could attack him, but he is not…” Hearing this, the girl in white hesitated for a moment and then shook her head seriously.

Strength is the best deterrent.

If she didn't use that trump card, she wouldn't be sure to kill Wei Tu by fighting two against one.

After all, it took Wei Tu less than half a day to kill Yang Sheng of the Fire Sheep Clan.

Although Yang Sheng was not as good as her, he was still considered a leader among the cultivators in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

In addition, the most crucial thing is that in this turtle belly space, she has two powerful enemies, Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou. For the sake of the opportunity here, she must not give up her martial arts!
Secondly, when she was negotiating with Wei Tu just now, both she and Wei Tu knew that... Wei Tu had a second choice besides cooperating with her here.

That is... joining the Jingwang Club!

Therefore, she was not afraid of attacking Wei Tu, but was afraid that she would not be able to kill Wei Tu completely and push Wei Tu to the side of Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou and become a monk of the Jingwang Society.

In that case, the situation will be greatly unfavorable to her.

When the white-robed girl was talking with her fellow tribesmen.

Wei Tu, who entered the lava sea later, finally stood at the same "starting line" with the two of them at this moment.

Wei Tu, who was focused, woke up.

"Snow Fairy..."

He opened his eyes, smiled, and bowed.

"Fellow Daoist Wei."

The girl in white robe returned the greeting, and seeing that Wei Tu had a natural and clear look on his face, she felt even more fearful.

After a simple greeting.

Wei Tu said no more and quietly slowed down his pace, not making himself too "prominent".

The lava sea is hundreds of miles wide.

After walking for three or four days, Wei Tu could clearly feel that his body had become more and more perfect.

This kind of perfection is different from the "peak" of breaking through each level of physical training. It is a more extreme pursuit.

Although it did not necessarily make his own strength stronger, it undoubtedly made his foundation more solid.

After the seventh day.

Wei Tu and the Snow Infant tribe finally saw the other side of the lava sea and the clearer outline of the tall, five-character building hidden in the mist in the distance.

The first thing that comes into view is a tall archway with three ancient characters "Lishanfu" written in gold.

Further back, there were fortresses built of huge black stones, covered by various spiritual prohibitions.

Above the stone gate of the fortress, there are also small silver plaques with names such as "Alchemy Room", "Weapon Refining Room", etc., which are full of the flavor of cave life.

Obviously, this "Lishan Mansion" is the cave where the people on Lishan lived during their lifetime.

Behind this group of black stone fortresses, there is a dark silver tower hidden. It is this tower, together with the surrounding black stone fortresses, that form a building complex shaped like the Chinese character “几”.

This tower has no plaques or inscriptions, it is completely bare. From the half-closed door at the bottom of the tower, one can faintly hear the roar of beasts that shock the monks...

“Could it be that there are still living monsters in the turtle’s belly?” The Snow Infant Clan member Lianxu who was standing next to Wei Tu said with a pale face and a trembling voice.

After a cultivator reaches the stage of spiritual transformation, he is no longer threatened by his lifespan. Instead, he is faced with repeated "lifespan disasters".

However, among the cultivators who can truly live for hundreds of thousands of years, there are very few who have reached the stage of spiritual transformation or refining emptiness, and most of them are at the stage of fusion or Mahayana.

In other words, if there really is a demon beast in the tortoise's belly, then the demon beast's cultivation is at least at the fusion level...

Even if we make a discount and he is not at the Fusion Realm, his strength at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm is still not something that the cultivators present can easily deal with.

“Snow Fairy, your Snow Infant Clan and the human race have agreed to only allow cultivators in the early stage of Refining Void to participate in this sword fighting competition... there must be another reason..." Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked the white-robed girl about this matter.

As per the original explanation.

The realm of the sword fighting competition is limited to the early stage of refining emptiness - this is because the Snow Infant Clan is worried about the foundation of the human race and is afraid of facing the true genius of the human race in the competition in the middle and late stages of refining emptiness.

This point has also been recognized by the Blood Stone Sect and the Three Mountains Taoist Sect.

At first, Wei Tu thought so too.

Even after arriving at the turtle's belly space, he didn't think much about it. He just thought of it as a place to collect treasures. Whether it was the Void Refinement Realm or the Fusion Realm, there shouldn't be much difference, so there was no need to set up separate rules.

But now... looking at this dark silver tower...

He couldn't think any more.

Because he was also worried that the danger of this secret realm would directly reach the level of fusion. After all, Taoist Li Shan was a cultivator at the peak of fusion when he was alive. It was not unimaginable to set up a backup plan that could kill a cultivator at the peak of fusion.

Compared with opportunities, he cares more about his own life!
Hear the sound of strings and know the elegant meaning.

The white-robed girl quickly understood what Wei Tu said. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "I am not qualified to participate in such a major event within the clan. I was sent to the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm by my father... I don't know whether this place is dangerous or not."

After she finished speaking, the girl in white robe said no more and quickened her pace. When Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou were about to go ashore, she instantly pulled herself out of the sea water, grabbed the right shoulder of her fellow tribesman beside her, and "flew" to the shore like a light feather.

He ignored Wei Tu, as if he was certain that Wei Tu would not betray the alliance or dare to set foot in the "Lishan Mansion" on the shore because of this "little thing".

"Interesting." Wei Tu, who stayed where he was, did not show any displeasure on his face after seeing this scene.

He narrowed his eyes, and his sleeves shook slightly in the sea water. After releasing some prepared measures, he jumped out of the sea water and crossed the lava sea at a speed not inferior to that of the girl in white robe, reaching the shore of the lava sea at almost the same time as her.

Being cautious does not mean being afraid.

He didn't know what methods Ye Ya and the white-robed girl had, but he knew that these four people were all at the "early stage of refining emptiness" realm...

Since the girl in white robe is not afraid of the threats within the Dark Silver Tower, then he naturally does not need to be afraid either.

As for the hidden means he possesses, with the [Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring], a magical treasure, he is not necessarily weaker than these two forces.

Secondly, the distance.

It was also enough for him to escape quickly using the "Sky Escape".

In the distance, Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou's pupils shrank slightly when they saw Wei Tu and the girl in white robe use their skills to reach the shore almost at the same time as her.

She didn't say much, just looked back at Zhuang Changyou behind her, said "let's go", and went straight to the black stone fortress in Lishan Mansion with a plaque marked with "Golden Marrow Palace".

"Golden Marrow Palace? Could it be that the thing is in this palace?" The white-robed girl's heart moved, and she followed Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou closely, not daring to move away from them at all.

A few days ago, she did not lie to Wei Tu. Their understanding of the turtle belly space was indeed far inferior to that of the Jingwang Society...

I just know that there might be some precious treasures inside.

After all, Lishan Taoist is not an unknown person. After knowing his name, with the power of a large family, we can find out his deeds during his lifetime. (End of this chapter)
