Bone Taoist

Chapter 689 North Channel
The ancient city walls are covered with traces of time.

The air was filled with blood and energy all around, the twelve-tier lotus throne was swaying, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Ye Zang soared into the air, his Dharma eyes piercing through. He could vaguely sense quite a few Taoists, probably hundreds of them, all of whom had strong Taoist aura.

Those monks were scattered throughout the ancient city, because there were many ancient caves left here, and they were all in seclusion.

It seemed that the place was occupied by Tianming monks, and there were no monks from Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Ye Zang walked into the air and went away.

The interior of this ancient city is very spacious, and the ruined gate alone is a hundred feet high. As soon as Ye Zang approached the area of ​​a thousand feet, a man and a woman flew out of the ancient city. They were both in the second stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. With such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, their talents were already extraordinary.

Judging from the way they are dressed, they seem to be disciples of Shenzhao Island in the Burial Immortal Sea and people from the five major inherited families.

"Who are you?" The male disciple held a sword, looked at Ye Zang, and asked in a rather cold tone.

"My name is Ye Han, and I come from the north of Tianming River." Ye Zang bowed.

This name was something they had never heard of before. The man and woman looked at each other and looked at Ye Zang with some caution.

"Is there anyone traveling with you?" the female disciple asked in a cold tone.

"I entered the secret treasure house with Chief Cao of Piaomiao Palace, Xue Ning of Shenyin Valley, and Jiang Ni, a disciple of your sect. They are on their way here now." Ye Zang said calmly.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the male disciple raised his eyebrows and put away his magic weapon slowly.

The female disciple's expression also relaxed, and she said calmly: "Brother Dao, please don't blame me. Although most of the ruins in the northern part of the secret treasure are controlled by our Tianming cultivators, many Taoists from Dongsheng Shenzhou have sneaked in a few days ago. We are helpless to interrogate them here."

"It's okay. It's always better to be cautious." Ye Zang shook his head and smiled.

Although they said this, the two still did not let Ye Zang in.

It seemed that he wanted to wait until he saw Cao Guanjiu and Xue Ning with his own eyes before letting Ye Zang enter the ancient city.

There was nothing to do for the moment, so Ye Zang casually said, "May I ask the two Taoist brothers, what is the current situation in the secret vault? Can we, the Tianming cultivators, gain an advantage?"

The secret treasure has been open for half a year.

This place is very large, with many places of good fortune scattered everywhere. The cultivators from the two continents of Tianming and Dongsheng are fighting fiercely for the chance to seize the land.

"Dongsheng and my Tianmingzhou are located in the north and south respectively." The male disciple said with a frown.

“There are many opportunities in the secret treasures. In the past six months alone, we have discovered thousands of ruins. Those ancient ruins even contain the Taoist teachings left by the real person back then, so there have been constant fights.” A gleam appeared in the woman’s eyes.

“But the most important thing is the number of natural treasures, which is completely beyond our imagination.” The male disciple spread his hands and said excitedly.

It is unknown how long the secret treasure of the Nascent Soul in the God and Demon Rift has been floating and deposited under the rift.

Moreover, the ruins here have a natural spirit gathering formation, which gathers spiritual energy to various places and forms natural caves.

The spiritual places in the ten continents are disappearing and becoming thinner, but the spiritual places in the secret treasures are still full of vitality. Instead of secluding yourself in the door, you might as well go and explore the secret treasures. There are not only caves for cultivation, but also other creations.

This is also the reason why there are more and more people in the God and Demon Rift.

"This Nascent Soul secret treasure is hundreds of thousands of miles long and wide from north to south, comparable to a part of my Tianming. Moreover, someone has discovered a boundary crack here that leads to other secret treasures." The male disciple said.

The realm of heaven and earth under the God and Demon Rift is like this, exactly the same as the great demon realm in Wanduan Mountain, but there has been no repair by Taoist Master here, so it is very dangerous, and the entrances to the secret treasures of other realms are also extremely unstable.

The three of them were talking.

There seemed to be a sound of flying coming from behind.

A strong wind cut through the sky, and Cao Guanjiu came through the air with a sharp aura and an extremely domineering attitude.

However, after seeing Ye Zang who arrived earlier, Cao Guanjiu looked a little surprised.

"Chief Cao!"

"I am Chu Lan, a disciple from Shenzhao Island. Nice to meet you, Senior Brother Cao. I have heard of your great name for a long time." The female disciple's expression lit up with joy and she immediately greeted him enthusiastically. Her attitude was completely different from before.

Cao Guanjiu bowed casually, then looked at Ye Zang with a slightly frown.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, when did you get here?" Cao Guanjiu asked. He was from the Wanxiang Gangfeng Sect, and in terms of escape speed, he was at the forefront of all the great Daos. The four of them entered the secret vault, and the distance between them was no more than a hundred miles, but Ye Zang arrived here before him, which really concerned Cao Guanjiu.

"I just arrived too." Ye Zang didn't say much.

"Chief Cao, let's go into the ancient city first and discuss this later." The male disciple interrupted hurriedly.

When the two disciples of Shenzhao Island saw that Cao Guanjiu knew Ye Zang, they did not stop him anymore.

The three of them walked towards the interior of the ancient city.

The gate was wide open, and the rolling and majestic spiritual energy inside rushed in, which was really amazing. It was not much inferior to Langya Palace. No wonder the cultivators of Tianming were unwilling to retreat anymore, and they risked their lives to come to the God and Demon Rift Valley to compete for opportunities. This was a good opportunity to make a leap, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for independent cultivators.

In this great era, there may be disasters and chaos, but it is also the key to the rise of the younger generation, because all the opportunities and fortunes have emerged.

"Where is Chu Qianchao?" Cao Guanjiu asked straight to the point as he walked.

Upon hearing this, Chu Lan immediately tilted her head and responded, "Brother Chu is currently in a ruined area southwest of the secret treasure, fighting with the cultivators of Dongsheng Shenzhou for control of the formation there. As for where exactly he is, Brother Chu has not yet told us with his flying sword."

"Where is Han Kan?" Cao Guanjiu asked again.

"This... we have no idea about it at all." Chu Lan said hesitantly.

"Senior Brother Han has been in the secret vault for more than half a year, and I have only seen him once." The male disciple also echoed.

This secret treasure is very large, comparable to a large area.

The four of them came to the center of the ancient city.

This is a renovated courtyard with several large spirit protection formations. This is because a spirit vein has accumulated beneath the ground here, which is also the source of the spiritual energy of this ancient city.

Ye Zang took a casual look with his Dharma eyes and saw an extremely thick and strong spiritual vein of the highest quality, which was ten thousand feet long and coiled under the ancient city like a dragon's bone.

"Chief Cao, don't worry. Senior Brother Chu comes back here every month. If there is anything urgent, I can hand you a letter with a golden flying sword." Chu Lan said with a smile.

"No need, I will go to the southwest to find him in a few days." Cao Guanjiu said expressionlessly.

The two didn't say much.

With Cao Guanjiu's ability, ordinary Taoists from Dongsheng Shenzhou cannot stop him. Even the demons in the secret treasure cannot do anything to him unless there are tens of thousands of them.

As they were talking, they came to a courtyard cave.

On the table here, there is a spiritual map.

"Senior Brother Cao, please look." The male disciple stretched out his hand.

"What is this?" Cao Guanjiu narrowed his eyes.

Ye Zang looked over and saw that in the Lingjian map, the ruins were displayed like a landscape painting. The north and south directions were marked with ruins, divided by the position of Juntian.

"We are in the largest ancient city in the north, called Beiqu. After investigation by Senior Brother Chu, we found that it was a war city on the border in the late ancient times. So after the death of the master of Tiandao Island, this ancient city was also evolved."

After the death of a real person, Shenzang and Zifu will evolve into a world of heaven and earth.

Back then, the spiritual energy in the God and Demon Rift was not as thin as it is now.

It was precisely because of the existence of spiritual veins here and the border between the two continents that there was such unrest and frequent wars. In the era of the second generation of the headmaster, there were many cities and caves around the God and Demon Rift Valley.

The Tianbei City Gate, which was similar to the border of the Corpse Demon Sect, once existed, but due to several earth-shattering wars, it collapsed and sank into the Valley of Gods and Demons.

"Many years ago, there was only a small rift valley less than ten thousand feet wide in the border area, and the surrounding area was a land of opportunity with rich spiritual energy. After endless years of fighting, this place has become a forbidden place, with evil spirits rippling day and night." Chu Lan said sternly.

“Those opportunities did not disappear, but sank into the God and Demon Valley and were collected in countless secret treasures. They finally came to the world this time.” The male disciple said sternly.

Cao Guanjiu and Ye Zang looked at the spiritual map.

In the northern part of the map, today the Tianmingdao people control more than a dozen ancient ruins.

In contrast, Dongsheng Shenzhou has more than half a hundred people.

"How many people has Taoist Dongsheng brought? Have they already controlled so many ancient sites?" Cao Guanjiu raised his eyebrows.

"They are occupying ordinary ruins." Chu Lan said calmly: "The spiritual vein of Beiqu City is the largest spiritual vein discovered so far. If there were not many Tianming Taoists guarding this place, they would have been killed long ago."

"So that's how it is." Cao Guanjiu narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands tightly.

He could no longer hold back and wanted to compete with Taoist Dongsheng.

"By the way, has your sect's Ye Zang arrived?" Cao Guanjiu suddenly asked, remembering something.

Chu Lan was stunned for a moment, then said, "I heard that Ye Kuishou has been in seclusion in Langya Palace, and has closed the door to visitors. However, given his personality, if he knew about the current situation in the God and Demon Rift Valley, he should come here soon."

"After all, it's only been half a year, and the situation here hasn't reached the point of complete confrontation. When more and more cultivators come here, the confrontation between us, the younger generation, will truly begin!" the male disciple also spoke.

The God and Demon Rift Valley was in turmoil in early spring.

Only three of the Nascent Soul secret treasures have emerged, and the fight here is expected to last for a long time.

Moreover, in the history of Gods and Demons Rift Valley, there had been secret treasures of Hedao, although they were fleeting. The secret treasures of Hedao were illusory, just like the Great Illusion, and their traces were uncertain.

The reason why Ye Zang came here was to try his luck.

Since he could no longer stay inside the Nine-Life Burial Coffin, he could only look for other secret treasures of the Dao to meditate and practice.

Ye Zang listened in silence.

After communicating for a while, Chu Lan arranged a courtyard in the ancient city for the two of them.

There are more than a dozen empty caves here, all of which were opened up temporarily and are also guarded by formations.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, these are the restriction token and the spiritual map. You can store them in the Primal Chaos Sea of ​​Consciousness. Don't let Taoist Dongsheng get them." Chu Lan warned.

In fact, it would be fine if they fell into the hands of Taoist Dongsheng, because outside the ancient city, there were disciples from Shenzhao Island guarding and interrogating day and night, and they could not get in.

"Chief Cao, we're going to go out on patrol first. You can call me if you need anything." Chu Lan bowed.

"Thank you." Cao Guanjiu bowed.

After the two left.

Cao Guanjiu sat cross-legged casually on the cushion and looked at the Lingjian map.

He planned to go to the southwest of the secret treasure because fights often broke out there and there were many ruins. However, there were also many demons in Jiuyuan, so it was very dangerous.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, would you like to come with me?" Cao Guanjiu glanced at Ye Zang and asked casually.

"Of course I am willing to go." Ye Zang smiled and said calmly: "In the next few days, we can first inquire about the situation in the southwest of the ancient city. I think many Taoists have been there."

"You are quite cautious." Cao Guanjiu looked at Ye Zang intently. He originally thought that Ye Zang was just an ordinary Yuanying casual cultivator, but after some contact, Cao Guanjiu found that he could not see through Ye Zang's Purple Palace cultivation. His spiritual consciousness was strong enough, but he could not see through it, which surprised Cao Guanjiu.

"It is better to be safe than sorry. The world inside this secret treasure is very vast, including Beiqu City. We, the Tianming cultivators, have limited eyes and ears. Even if we control some ruins of ancient cities, we cannot have omnipotent hands. Maybe there are many Dongsheng people lurking around." Ye Zang said casually.

The two looked at the spiritual map.

In the past six months, Chu Qianchao and some Tianming monks have occupied fourteen ancient cities in the north.

Among them, Beiqu Ancient City is the largest and has the best spiritual veins. There are hundreds of Yuanying Taoists living here. This number is not large, so there are often cultivators from the eight immortal sects and the six demon sects mixing in.

As they were talking, Xue Ning and Jiang Ni also came here one after another.

On the next day, the four of them went around the city to gather information and ask about the situation in the southwest.

After staying in the ancient city of Beiqu for three days, we were ready to set off to the ruins in the southwest to seek opportunities and fortune.

The sky was dim and dark, as if it was always filled with blood.

The gray-brown land in the distance was endless, with no end in sight. The mountains, rivers and swamps were like ferocious beasts, crawling on the earth veins.

Cao Guanjiu was in the lead, followed closely by Ye Zang and the other two.

Jiang Ni seemed very happy, and her smart eyes kept looking around.

"There is a magical fruit forest thousands of miles away. I heard from the Taoists in Beiqu City that there are natural treasures and even the remains of magical medicines in the deepest part." Cao Guanjiu said.

This was a piece of news he had found out.

"That is an unowned land. We may run into cultivators from Dongsheng Continent." Xue Ning said calmly.

"If I meet him, I will kill him." Cao Guanjiu's turquoise Taoist robe rustled.

Ye Zang listened to this and remained silent.

In the past few days, he has also found out a lot of information in the city.

The disciples of Qiandao Pavilion and Chongyang Lake are also in this secret world, plundering opportunities in the ruins in the southwest.

"Isn't it a bit too dangerous?" Ye Zang said at this moment.

Cao Guanjiu and Xue Ning looked at each other, seemingly thinking about something.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, if you are afraid, just stay outside." The speaker was Jiang Ni, and she said bluntly.

"That's what I was thinking, so I'll keep watch outside for you."

Ye Zang smiled calmly.
