Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"It is said that this curse was passed down from the Spiritual Witch Clan in ancient times. Sister Wen was able to obtain an important token from the Spiritual Witch Clan this time and activate it. It seems that she has a good connection with the Spiritual Witch Clan..."

After hearing the conversation between Wen Qing and Lu Tiandu, Li Rong said, "It's just that this place is full of dangers after all, especially in the core area. No one knows what the situation is. It's a bit worrying for Sister Wen to go there alone..."

During the journey together, Li Rong also witnessed Wen Qing's magical powers other than spells. The cultivators of the same level were really no match for him, but the power of the core restriction here could defeat even the Mahayana cultivators. In her opinion, it was too dangerous for Wen Qing to go alone.

"Don't worry, Sister Rong. Youtian is here. I'll be fine."

Wen Qing gently held Li Rong's small hand and smiled tenderly.

Although they had only been together for a few months, in this short period of time she had come to know that Li Rong was not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted and humble. The three women got along quite well with each other.

She naturally heard the concern in Li Rong's words.

"There's really no need to worry. Even if you don't get the opportunity, it won't be a big problem if you withdraw safely."

Lu Tiandu smiled and said, "Let's go find the Xuanqiao wood first. Finding this wood as soon as possible will also give Sister Qing more time."

The area of ​​this ancillary space is naturally not very large, but because of the existence of various cursed powers and the fact that people can only stay here for two months, in fact, one-third of the area has never been explored by anyone.

The sooner they use Wen Qing's spell to find the Xuanqiao Wood, the more time they will have.

Of course, if you can really find a good opportunity, it’s okay to spend more time.

After all, the two-month stay limit since entering this place is not a problem for him, they can break through the boundary and leave at any time.

The group of four found the right direction and set off again.

A few days later, the group appeared above an island in the middle of a lake that was tens of miles in size and began to observe the situation on the island.

This is the third place where the Xuanqiao Wood may exist. The second place they broke through was a place where the Lingwu tribe practiced. Although they gained some knowledge about witchcraft, they did not find the Xuanqiao Wood.

Thick green fog enveloped this small island. Through the green fog, the four people only needed to sweep their spiritual sense to sense the existence of a layer of forbidden light curtain.

"It seems to be some kind of ancient formation with five elements attributes!"

Lu Tiandu carefully sensed the island with his spiritual sense, and combined with his own experience in formations, he instantly understood that the formation here was not the curse-type formation he had encountered many times before.

After a brief discussion and a method to crack the problem, the four of them split up into four groups and together used their treasures to bombard the forbidden light curtain surrounding the island in the middle of the lake.

For a moment, colorful rays of light flashed across the sky and rumbling sounds came one after another.

In order to break the ancient formation here as soon as possible, Lu Tiandu also tried his best.

While offering up the Four-Colored Extreme Mountain, he opened his mouth and spit out five swords that were either water drops, willow leaves, flames, small swords, or square ones that were an inch in size. They shot out at once and turned into giant swords that were a hundred feet long in a flash. They were surrounded by lightning of various colors and slashed towards the green mist with the sound of wind and thunder.

This was the first time that Lu Tiandu had wielded all five swords at the same time since he had refined the five Xuanzhen swords.

In addition, the power of the five Xuanzhen swords has greatly increased, no less than the Xuantian remnant treasures. The five sword lights turned into five-colored chains of black, white, red, yellow and green, flashing and flickering. The large light curtain covering the island in the middle of the lake made crackling sounds from time to time as the five Xuanzhen swords slashed through.

Seeing the six treasures that Lu Tiandu had sacrificed, which were so powerful that he could almost break the ancient formation by himself, except for Wen Qing, who was not surprised, the Li sisters were also shocked.

Obviously, judging from the power displayed by the six treasures in Lu Tiandu's hands, except that he is temporarily unable to mobilize the power of the laws of heaven and earth, Lu Tiandu's attack power is no weaker than that of an early Mahayana cultivator.

Of course, this small space seems to be somewhat special. Most of the power of the laws that can be mobilized are the laws of curse. When the time comes, the power of the laws that can be mobilized may not necessarily be used by the cultivators.

Wen Qing did not hide his abilities this time, and used the two Xuantian remnant treasures, the Four-Colored Extreme Mountain and the Tianyue Hook, together, showing amazing attack power.

As for the Li sisters, although they also have supernatural treasures in their hands and one of them is a sword cultivator, they are much stronger than other cultivators of the same level, but when compared with Lu Tianduo, the gap is extremely obvious.

After a full quarter of an hour, with the joint efforts of the four, accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion and countless green air waves rolling in, the ancient formation here was finally broken by the four.

Before the spiritual power fluctuations in this place dissipated, the four people swept their spiritual senses over the situation on the island in the middle of the lake, and immediately showed expressions of surprise.

At the same time, rich spiritual energy far surpassing that of the outside world diffused from the sky above the island in the middle of the lake, mixed with a refreshing fragrance.

"There are hundreds of Xuanqiao trees here. This is really a great opportunity!"

Lu Tian couldn't help but feel overjoyed as his spiritual sense carefully scanned these peculiar-looking spiritual trees.

"Congratulations to Tiandu (Brother Lu)!"

The three girls also showed surprise, took a step forward, returned to Lu Tiandu, and congratulated him with a smile.

Li Rong and Li Meng only knew from Lu Tiandu's explanation that the key to Mahayana physical cultivation is to open up the mysterious orifice in the body, and the Xuanqiao Wood Heart is the first spiritual object used by high-level physical cultivators in ancient times to open up the mysterious orifice.

Obviously, with these more than a hundred mysterious wooden hearts, Lu Tiandu, who is in the Mahayana stage, will not lack the resources for physical cultivation.

It is rumored that in ancient times, the Lingwu tribe not only had mysterious spells, but also had extremely powerful bodies. Seeing this island in the middle of the lake that was obviously used to cultivate the Xuanqiao wood, they became more certain of this news.

"There's no danger here, let's go down and take a look!"

Lu Tiandu used all his spiritual sense, not only carefully scanning everything on the island in the middle of the lake, but also spreading out his powerful spiritual power, which penetrated into hundreds of Xuanqiao trees and examined them carefully.

They did not discover any subsequent measures that the Lingwu people had arranged in the Xuanqiao wood. The four of them flashed and landed on the island in the middle of the lake, examining these Xuanqiao woods from close range.

Each of these trees is nine feet tall and about the thickness of two people hugging together. They look black, with thick, gnarled and strong trunks. At the top, there are nine withered-looking flowers arranged in a row, which looks quite strange.

At first glance, the trunk seems to be a whole, but a closer look reveals that it seems to be made up of nine branches that wind up to form a ribbed and winding trunk.

At the middle of the trunk, a large bulge suddenly appears, then about a foot upwards, it shrinks back.

There is no doubt that the mysterious wood heart is inside.

With a gentle sniff, a strange fragrance emanates from the spiritual tree in front of you.

Looking at the nine-zhang-tall strange spiritual tree in front of him, Li Meng used a top-level spiritual treasure-level flying sword to chop it down. His expression changed, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and he sighed:

"This Xuanqiao wood is indeed one of the three great spiritual trees of ancient times. It is really amazing! But it may not be easy to take these spiritual trees away!"

With her cultivation level at the middle stage of fusion, repeated chopping only left some marks on the spiritual tree in front of her. This shows that the Xuanqiao wood, an ancient spiritual material famous for its hardness, is worthy of its reputation.

In this way, when Wen Qing leaves later, time is limited and they may not be able to take away all the spiritual wood even if they work together.

"Each of the 120 Xuanqiao trees here is nine feet tall. Apparently, each one has grown for more than ninety thousand years. The Xuanqiao wood cores inside are also perfect. This trip is really fruitful!"

Lu Tiandu gently tapped on a Xuanqiao tree in front of him, and listened to the sound of metal and stone coming from the trunk, feeling quite satisfied.

With these Xuanqiao wood hearts, his body refining cultivation will be guaranteed in the future. As for how to take these Xuanqiao wood away, it is not a big problem.

Obviously, from Li Meng's actions just now, it can be seen that in the remaining one month, for a combined cultivator, it would be good enough to be able to cut down a Xuanqiao wood and take it away.

But for him, there is naturally no need to go through so much trouble. He can just break through all the arrangements made by the Spirit Witch Clan underground of this island later and move away from this island directly.

"Don't worry. After I break the forbidden power underground, I will find a way to take away all the spiritual trees on this island."

Lu Tiandu smiled and said, "But before that, I will protect you first. Sister Qing, please try to activate the black token completely!"

"Okay, let's go to the place near here where we can sense the summoning power."

Wen Qing took out a black triangular token from his sleeve and his expression became serious.

The four of them returned to a nearby ruin and got ready.

A set of Tongtian Lingbao-level armor appeared around Wen Qing's body, and the Four-Colored Extreme Mountain and Tianyue Gou were also ready. After Lu Tiandu left his magic mark with the secret technique, she held the black token in her hand, looked at the sky and waited quietly.

A moment later, when a five-colored rainbow appeared in the void above his head, Wen Qing did not hesitate. With the help of the power of the curse in his body, he activated the token in his hand with all his strength.

The next moment, the token in Wen Qing's hand emitted a black light, and in a flash it appeared above her head, turning into a size of about ten feet.

The triangular token slowly turned, revealing two golden runes, which were exactly the two strange characters on the token before.

At the same time, the five-colored rainbow in the sky, which usually only lasted for a few breaths, suddenly trembled, as if it sensed something.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of five-colored light flashed away from the rainbow, shot out, and instantly sank into the token above Wen Qing's head.

Immediately, the black token glowed with five-colored light, and with a "click", it split into five pieces. After a while of changes, it seemed to form some kind of magic circle, and a five-colored light column about ten feet thick emerged from it, covering Wen Qing in an instant.

Lu Tiandu had been watching the changes in the token. At this moment, he sensed the rich power of space in the token, but seeing that Wen Qing did not seem unusual, he did not take any action.

The next moment, the magic circle composed of five black fragments burst out with rich five-colored light. With a roar, it soared into the sky and disappeared with Wen Qing.

Seeing that Lu Tiandu seemed to be sensing something silently, the Li sisters also concentrated and waited quietly.

On the other side, Wen Qing, holding two precious treasures in his left and right hands and looking alert, had appeared in a mysterious hall somewhere.

At this moment, she was standing on a jade platform, and there was nothing unusual about her.

At her feet, above a complex magic circle, five black fragments with dim light lay motionless.

"Looking at the style of the buildings here, they are obviously from the Lingwu tribe. I just don't know what the words on the token mean... Let's contact Tiandu first!"

After casually taking a look at the situation here, Wen Qing took back the five dull black fragments with a wave of his hand. He was not in a hurry to leave the magic circle, but took out a Wanli Talisman and began to transmit the information.

Sure enough, after receiving Lu Tiandu’s reply soon, Wen Qing felt relieved.

Information can be transmitted here using the Wanli Talisman, so it is obvious that the distance between the two is not too far.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that this ancillary space is not very large.

After leaving the magic circle and getting off the jade platform, Wen Qing walked towards the only door of this stone hall.

On both sides of the gate, there were two three-headed strange beasts about ten feet tall. Wen Qing could not recognize what kind of beasts they were.

Just as Wen Qing approached the gate, he seemed to sense something. Among the beasts guarding the gate on both sides of the stone gate, one of the three-headed beasts suddenly lit up with six eyes. While looking at Wen Qing, it spoke:
"Welcome this fellow Taoist from another race to our clan's trial hall! You will then enter the trial path of our Spirit Wu clan and participate in the path of the Wu Spirit awakening!"

"The requirements for the first stage of the trial are recorded in the jade slip. If you are well prepared, you can push open the stone door and accept the trial! If you fail the trial, you can use the teleportation array to leave on your own!"

After saying this, the middle-headed beast with three heads opened its big mouth, and a black light shot out, revealing a black jade pendant.

Then the black jade pendant flashed with black light, and hundreds of black spiritual characters were projected into the void. The black jade pendant flashed and sank into the mouth of the strange beast again.

Wen Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the spiritual texts condensed from the black light.

These spiritual characters were not the strange characters on the triangular token before, but a kind of ancient universal spiritual characters, and she happened to recognize this kind of characters.

Since the stone beast suddenly spoke, she knew that it was something similar to a spirit puppet.

And from the words of the strange beast, I learned that this place was set up for foreign monks, and the last trace of worry in my heart disappeared.

"The Copper Tendon and Iron Bones Curse? If you learn this curse, you can accept the trial of this level, and after passing it, you can enter the next level. It seems that this place is indeed a place where the Spirit Wu Clan has passed down its legacy, but it seems to be specially opened for cultivators of other races."

"This Copper Tendon and Iron Bones Curse is not difficult and can be learned in a few days at most. The limited nine days is more than enough. So there is no need to rush to accept the trial. Tell Tiandu about the situation here first."

Wen Qing looked at the black words in the air, a thought flashed through his mind, he took out the Wanli Talisman and contacted Lu Tiandu again.

After a moment, Wen Qing put away the Wanli Talisman and sat cross-legged, meditating on the Copper Tendon and Iron Bones Curse.

On the other hand, after learning that Wen Qing successfully entered a trial site set up for foreign monks, Lu Tiandu realized that the black token should be some kind of special token.

And this token can only be activated by a monk who possesses the power of curse.

Since Wen Qing has already obtained a method for practicing a spell, we can roughly guess that the more levels he passes on this trial path, the more methods of practice he will obtain from the Spirit Witch Clan.

After making sure that Wen Qing was not in any danger for the time being, Lu Tiandu and the Li sisters returned to the island in the middle of the lake. After some searching, they soon found the various magic arrays that the Lingwu monks had set up under the island.

Obviously, as a place dedicated to cultivating Xuanqiao wood, the magic array here should not be underestimated.

In addition to various spirit gathering arrays and protective arrays, the most important ones are the various confinement arrays that restrict the theft of spirit wood.

Soon, when the three of them broke through a square formation base and were chatting and laughing about looking for the next formation base location, Lu Tiandu let out a light exclamation, as if he sensed something unusual in his body, and his face changed.

In just a moment he sensed some extra strange power in his body. When he quickly looked at the two women beside him, he saw that Li Rong and Li Meng had also changed. Their pretty faces were flushed, and they stared at him passionately with seductive eyes and irresistible looks.

"When did I get cursed? And it seems to be somewhat similar to the lust curse in the seven emotions curse that Sister Qing mentioned before..."

Listening to the two women's rapid breathing, Lu Tian felt the power of the curse flowing through his body and the changes in his body, and he suddenly remembered something.

"Not good. The power of this lust curse is related to the cultivation level of the person who casts it. Ordinary dual cultivation can break it, but a more advanced one might..."

Just as he was about to try to wrap up these strange forces with his magic power and force them out of his body, two soft bodies crashed into his arms at the same time.

As two slightly different scents penetrated into Lu Tiandu's heart, the curse power in Lu Tiandu's body immediately erupted... (End of this chapter)
