Changsheng: My realm is more than perfect

Chapter 172 Half a Thousand Ruins with Sword Shadows

Thick leaden clouds cover the sky.

Luo Qingbao stood at the edge of the dense forest, looking at the scene in front of him, his expression completely dull.

one two Three……

He counted instinctively, as if confirming over and over again to convince himself of the scene before him.

There are five chief-level disciples...

He died in front of his eyes so easily.

So simple... it made him think of the monkey demon that Wu Meng killed that night...

Is this the true strength of Junior Brother Wu?

Seeing it with your own eyes and hearing about it in rumors are two completely different feelings.

The mortal who had been led through the door by him back then had thrown himself away to an unreachable distance before he had time to react.

The more Luo Qingbao thought about it, the more he felt disillusioned with the collapse of his three views.

"Senior Brother Luo...are you okay..."

Wu Meng's shout brought him back to reality.

"Um...it's okay...hiss!"

The severe pain that spread throughout his body finally brought him back to reality.

Wu Meng handed over a pill: "Calm down your emotions first and recall your previous feelings."

"How does it feel?" he asked subconsciously.

Wu Meng smiled and said, "The feeling of life and death."

The thin line between life and death...

This word seems to have special power.

Luo Qingbao's expression gradually calmed down, and his whole person once again fell into the wonderful state before...

……

About the same time.

Somewhere in the forest, next to a blue lake.

Lin Youjiang walked quickly through the waist-high bushes.

It is said to be a shrub, but it is more of a variety of emerald green plants, growing near the lake, lush and fertile.

In just a few steps, he had collected seven or eight kinds of spiritual materials, half of which were more than five hundred years old, and a few were over a thousand years old!

For spiritual materials, there are many ripening methods in the world of cultivation, but the effects are far from those of naturally grown materials.

He leaned slightly and swept the entire wetland around the lake. He finally stopped with a smile on his face.

Yakumo hugged his hands and followed him leisurely. He couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"Does this satisfy you?"

Lin Youjiang nodded seriously: "I am easily satisfied."

"It's really yours..."

Yakumo shook his head and was speechless.

"Three continents have been affected by the Tianzhan Sect, and their spiritual energy has been weakened too much. If you have the opportunity to go outside, you will find that the human monks are nothing more than a drop in the ocean."

"So, you have a lot of spiritual materials?"

"Infinite, inexhaustible..." The man held the wine bottle and grinned: "As long as your life is tough enough."

Lin Youjiang did not answer the topic.

The two of them left the lake and went into the dark forest. After walking a few steps, he asked, "Why are you wandering around with me if you don't say that the young immortal has orders?"

"Curious."

Yakumo took a sip of wine and swayed his hair on his forehead: "It's your fault that a talented person from an aristocratic family ended up like this."

Lin You Jiangman didn't care: "Just think of me as weak and incompetent."

"Hey!"

Yakumo's expression was like, "Believe it or not," he said, "Let's go, sharpen the knife and chop wood. In two days, this forest should be over..."

"and many more!"

Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly paused, lifted up the dark brown twine, and hung the wine bottle in the air.

At this time, the surroundings were quiet, with only the cold air flowing and no sound of wind.

But the wine bottle was shaking abnormally, quite a bit.

Yakumo felt it for a moment: "There are strong spiritual energy fluctuations in that direction."

He shook the wine bottle in different ways, as if making calculations, and his eyes lit up.

"Okay! It's not less than two days of travel, and the transmission can still be so strong. Is it possible that the young immortal is present? Come on, we have to join in the fun!"

After saying this, he took a step forward and in the blink of an eye, he looked back from a few feet away.

Lin Youjiang's eyes flashed, and he used magic to follow.

……

Wu Meng and the two were walking through a tower that no one had set foot on for hundreds of years.

Half a day ago, while Luo Qingbao understood the power of the sword, he skillfully cleared away the traces of the fight in the forest.

By the way, I briefly cleaned the storage bags of the four people.

It was probably on the eve of the opening of the Sword Ruins that they all exchanged their spirit stones for immediate combat power. A total of less than three thousand spirit stones were found on the five people.

On the contrary, in terms of utensils, there has been a pretty good harvest!

The most conspicuous one is naturally the 'Shadow-Replacing Spiritual Mirror'.

This thing can be carried as a treasure by the Luo family leader, so it has many advantages, but it still needs to be studied.

Next is the 'Xuanjing Ice Talisman' driven by the Qi family's sister.

This was an unusual talisman. He tried it briefly and found that it was much more powerful than he imagined.

If you want to fully activate it, you need enough spiritual energy, and you also need to perform long-term sacrifices.

Once all three mysterious crystals are successfully refined, their power will be no less than the foundation-building level.

Then there is a pair of ‘big scissors’ donated by Senior Brother Luo Maple Valley!

Its name is 'Qiuyang Scissors'. It is also a top-quality magical weapon. It is extremely sharp and can cut through spiritual consciousness.

After Wu Meng saw it, he could only sigh that he was worthy of being a chief-level disciple.

Although there are not many spiritual stones, these three items are no less valuable than Long Pei's belongings back then.

Any one of them, if it comes into his hands a dozen years ago, can be turned into a well-deserved trump card.

Although it is lacking a bit now, fortunately, even if it breaks through the foundation building, it can be used as a supplement to ordinary means.

After all, it's impossible to reveal your trump card with just one move.

Of course, there is another harvest that is ‘hard to distinguish between good and bad’, which is the skull of the ‘two-five-year-old’ who has not been fed well.

In the memory fragments of the other party, he saw a divine treasure.

Since it has nothing to do with Jianxu, I won’t think deeply about it for the time being.

"I've found the feeling of gaining momentum!"

Luo Qingbao's slightly excited voice sounded in his ears.

He came back to his senses and quickly glanced around. He was standing between a broken and narrow tower bridge.

There are ancient trees and winding vines on both sides.

Although it is dilapidated, from a distance, you can see the Tower Bridge flying across like a rainbow, stretching between two towering octagonal towers.

With just one glance, you can already get a glimpse of the past artistic conception of this place in your mind.

Withdrawing his mind, he thought about the contents of "The Collection of Three Lives Taoism".

Knowing how to build momentum means that the opponent has reached the late stage of the first level of the Heart Refining Sword.

This was a blessing in disguise.

This guy is a bit reluctant in Sword Ruins.

Now that he has made a breakthrough before the battle, coupled with his transformed character, if he only stays on the edge, the probability of walking out of the Sword Ruins alive is no less than 70% to 80%.

After a few brief words, the two of them stopped talking as they went deeper into the ruins.

There are about seven or eight blue towers in the entire ruins.

These buildings are built between several giant trees. The crowns are cut off and the branches are bent to serve as the base. There are twenty or thirty floors above.

After five hundred years of wind and frost erosion, most of them are in dilapidated condition, and only a few still retain their complete structures.

The two of them spent half a day exploring.

They were probably on the edge. Different from the expected dangers, there were no dangers for half a day. The most difficult things they encountered were just a few first-level restrictions. After five hundred years, there is not even one remaining power left.

After this exploration, Wu Meng was basically certain that this place was a small stronghold where immortals and mortals lived together.

Or it could be said to be a ‘spiritual animal workshop’ for cultivating three-fingered monkeys.

Judging from the size of the pavilion, there were approximately fifty monks living there during its heyday.

What's just chilling is...

Along the way, every corpse found, whether immortal or mortal, looked extremely 'natural'!

Logically speaking, nature means the most ordinary state, and it should not be linked to horror in any case.

But here is the problem.

Throughout the ruins, everyone seemed to be experiencing the most ordinary day in their lives. Some were meditating, some were walking through the pavilions, and some were drinking and talking.

Then, at a certain moment, they all lost their life.

It was as if there was an invisible hand that inadvertently wiped out everyone's lives.

This is a city! !

Wu Meng couldn't imagine what kind of powerful monk it would be to be able to do this.

The more they walked, the more frightened they became.

In comparison, the tens of thousands of spiritual stones and several sword techniques collected scattered along the way did not arouse much joy.

The sky is getting dark.

The two finally reached the 'end' of the ruins, in front of a green tower.

This is the largest building in the entire ruins. It is located between the stars and serves as the center of the Tower Bridge.

It is also the place where the leader of the three-fingered monkey guards in the plundered memory.

Strange to say.

Since entering the tower, the figure of the three-fingered monkey has only appeared in the canopy of the trees, and at most it has glanced at the two people from a distance.

Not a single attack occurred.

Now, as the two of them stood still, there was finally movement in the surrounding tree canopy.

Wu Meng raised his head slightly and looked around calmly.

He saw hundreds of fluorescent eyes, densely dotted in the darkness, staring at the two of them.

The number is at least seventy or eighty.

Such a battle makes one's skin crawl.

Wu Meng had experienced the more terrifying Ten Thousand Nether Jiao, so his expression remained unchanged, but Luo Qingbao beside him was unconsciously breathing rapidly.

"As expected, the only second level monk in this stronghold is in this tower."

It can make a group of monkeys that have reproduced for countless generations so fearful. One can imagine how strong the fear that the master had imprinted on the hearts of the three-fingered monkeys was!

Wu Meng spread out his consciousness and allocated part of his mind to guard against the attack of the spotted old monkey.

The rest of his attention was focused on the door in front of him.

The same green wooden door, but the difference is that there is a sword pattern engraved on it, which is vivid, like a flying sword breaking through the sky and shooting quickly.

Just looking at it, a slight pinprick sensation exploded in the consciousness.

Wu Meng's heart trembled.

This seems to be a unique restriction of the 'Heart-Refining Sword' system.

It has lasted for five hundred years and still has such a sharp edge. How strong must it be during the entire period?

"Back off."

As he spoke, he flipped up his sleeves and shook out seven or eight small spiritual insects.

Pointing together, the spirit insects formed a shield shape.

This technique is an insect control technique recorded in "Xiao Yan Ling Chong Sheng". It places a greater burden on spiritual consciousness, but it can increase the effect by about 30%.

The number of spiritual insects is now very small, and the shield marks formed are no more than the size of a fingernail.

The protective area is not enough, but it is more than enough for testing.

The shield seal flew towards the wooden door.

Before he could touch it, he suddenly saw the outline of a human figure outlined on it. The silver edge is shining and the green background is mottled. It looks like a sword breaking through the wind, with beard and robe flying.

The outline is complete, and the green bottom turns into a snow-white robe.

The figure is completely alive, leaping out of the door with a flying sword!

"Who dares to break into my cave!!"

The voice was so exciting and high-pitched that it swayed a few times in the forest, causing the monkeys to scream and run away like crazy.

The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became chaotic like water pouring into boiling oil.

Wu Meng didn't have time to think too much.

Because the figure has drawn out a three-foot-long dazzling sword arc, slashing towards him.

This sword came very quickly, and it felt quite earth-shattering!

Not only that, the first thing that gets hit by the sword is not the body, but the heart!

The strong edge pierced his mind, giving him an irresistible and helpless feeling of despair.

At one moment, he even had the illusion that he had been cut into two pieces.

Fortunately, he is already in the martial arts realm, and his knowledge of the state of mind is far beyond what ordinary monks can match.

The ripples caused by the sword light in his inner lake could not last even for a moment before returning to calm.

He opened his mouth and spat out a spiritual toad, its body was green and its spine was covered with blood spots.

It prostrates itself in the void, bulges its belly and makes a roar, as if it is swallowing the heaven and earth. There are several green tornadoes condensing and swirling in its mouth.

This is the mutated Spirit Toad Devouring God.

Spells, creatures, tools and talismans, everything is swallowed up!

The sword light with astonishing momentum was swallowed by him in one gulp.

quack!

The spirit toad was lit from inside the body and became dazzling, like a daylight stone, and its body also expanded and deformed accordingly.

You must know that the second form of spiritual toad has reached the foundation building level.

Being able to push it to its limit shows how powerful this sword is.

Fortunately, the sword light failed to break the toad's body in the end, and the spirit toad returned to its original state and jumped into Wu Meng's internal organs a little tiredly.

Naturally, he would not remain indifferent after receiving a sword blow in vain.

I don't know when, two consecutive three-flower puppet wood techniques have been completed on Xuying's head.

Flower shadows sway.

The sword fairy in white robes beat the snow. As the flower branches swayed and rippled, they became light and transparent.

"Path of friendly means..."

The figure couldn't tell whether he was angry or smiling: "I'm waiting for you in the mansion..."

After saying this, the shadow completely faded away.

Bah!

The door turned into rotten wood and scattered on the ground.

"..."

"The restriction has been broken..."

Luo Qingbao murmured.

His expression was a little numb. He didn't know whether he was marveling at the powerful sword light or the spiritual toad spit out by his friend...

Wu Meng raised his head and looked at the monkeys among the ancient trees.

After the previous fright, the monkeys and their grandchildren had fled far away.

Although the spotted old monkey in his memory was still nowhere to be seen, he probably didn't dare to step forward to cause trouble.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

He withdrew his gaze and led the Xiaoyan spirit insect to explore the path ahead.

The two of them successfully entered the tower without any further trouble.

There seems to be a space array arranged here.

It looks thirty or forty stories high from the outside, but inside it is a connected complete space, or a cave.

There are blue sky and white clouds, mountains, rocks, vegetation, springs, flowers, birds, insects and fish.

It is like a paradise with pleasant scenery.

It's a pity that it has been in disrepair for a long time, and a big hole has been opened in the blue sky, revealing the decaying eaves of the blue tower. The shadows of birds and animals are dim, and the eyes are dull.

The two of them looked around, half surprised and half wary. After walking for a while, they came to an open area.

I saw a rock platform ahead.

A rotten skeleton was scattered among them.
