I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 240 The jade tower hides treasure, and monsters protect the mountain!
"Third-level high-grade secret realm?"

Gu Yuan's heart moved.

The secret realm is a more precious existence than ordinary spiritual peaks and spiritual islands.

It is a complete small world.

The so-called third-level spiritual peaks and third-level spiritual islands are both an island and a spiritual mountain.

But in the third-order secret realm, there can be several, dozens, or even hundreds of third-order spiritual peaks.

Just like the Ziyang Secret Realm of Qingfeng Taoist Temple, there are ten third-order spiritual peaks in it, which are one of the Taoist temple's heritage.

However, secret realms are all small worlds, and their ability to restore and nurture spiritual energy is far inferior to that of the four realms. Therefore, every once in a while, the secret realm must be closed to cultivate the spiritual veins.

Otherwise, over time, there is a risk that the spiritual veins will dry up and the secret realm will collapse.

The same is true for the Ziyang Secret Realm. After the death of the last True Legend, it was kept for hundreds of years before being re-gifted to Gu Yuan and others.

Although there is only one Lingshan Mountain, it stretches for thousands of miles, is very vast, and is much larger than the ordinary Lingshan Peak.

"Ok?"

In the Lingshan Mountain, there are countless monsters and spiritual insects.

The Heart-Eating Insect's wings clicked again, and a green image stone lit up, projecting another picture.

But just like that, it is already a forbidden treasure land of the Chixiao Sect, and it is impossible for ordinary disciples to enter it.

Looking at the situation, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Ordinary Lingshan Mountains are only a few hundred feet long, and some majestic ones are only a thousand feet high. But the Lingshan Mountain in front of you is thousands of feet long, rising from the ground like a blue dragon, soaring all the way into the sky.

"Master, please look!"

The aura inside is ethereal, clouds and mist are everywhere, and the spirit is full of immortality.

"What a wonderful spiritual mountain!"

"Most of these photo stones show scenes of us fighting to escape. Master, you can look at this one directly."

A small white jade pagoda stands on the mountainside, but strangely, the top of the pagoda is facing down, the bottom of the pagoda is facing up, and the entire jade pagoda hangs upside down in the air.

Thousands of miles across, the mountains are verdant, and a huge mountain peak hovers like a dragon across the land.

Although the Chixiao Secret Realm is also a secret realm, there is only one third-order low-grade spiritual peak in it, and the rest are only second-order spiritual peaks.

To the left and right of the Jade Pagoda, there are two white jade foxes lying under the Jade Pagoda, curled up comfortably, seemingly extremely comfortable.

Just when Gu Yuan wanted to take a closer look, the photo stone suddenly shook violently, and the picture shook and shook.

Wisps of golden light flow endlessly along the top of the tower.

"boom!"

The Heart-Eating Insect moved its wings, and another cyan image stone suddenly floated out, projecting a vast picture.

Just in the picture in the image stone, you can see several demonic raptors circling, and the majestic horses are majestic.

The Heart-Eating Insect lowered its head in shame: "There are many monsters in this spiritual peak. This is a tiger monster from the Earth Monster Realm attacking us. During the battle, the Image Stone will inevitably not be taken care of."

"These two white jade foxes are the late-stage alien species of the Earth Demon. They are extremely powerful."

"If it weren't for the golden magic power given by the master, I'm afraid I would have been responsible for it!"

Looking at these two cute and auspicious white foxes, Heart Eater also had a look of fear on his face.

"But fortunately, I finally succeeded in killing the two jade foxes and got the golden talisman in the tower!"

"But because of this, his strength was greatly damaged. He missed the period of returning to the secret realm and was trapped in it for twenty years."

"However, in the past twenty years, Xiao Hema Wu discovered the corpses of several disciples of the Chixiao Sect, obtained some information, and figured out some of the origins of this secret realm."

Heart Eater slowly informed him of the information he had obtained.

Ma Wu also added details.

After one person and one insect explained it, as well as the picture of the shadow stone, Gu Yuan gradually understood the origin of this secret realm.

Although the Chixiao Sect was also a Jindan sect back then, it did not have a powerful secret method of inheritance. After there was only one Jindan sect, the sect fell into a situation of lack of support.

But at this moment, a disciple of the Chixiao Sect accidentally discovered the token.

After the Chixiao Sect's exploration, they finally discovered the function of the token. That is the key that can open another third-level secret realm!

However, the token will slowly open the passage to the secret realm every few decades. It also requires a formation to stay in the void, and it must return within half a month, otherwise it will be trapped in the secret realm.

The Chixiao Sect used the sect's many years of knowledge to finally set up a formation that could stabilize the void. However, after only a brief exploration, something happened inside the sect.

A far-reaching civil strife swept through the Chixiao Sect.

With the help of others who were interested, the huge Chixiao sect was destroyed in a very short period of time. Only the foundation-building monk who finally mastered the jade key escaped and sat in the mountains. His legacy was taken by Ma Wu.

"The huge Jindan Sect, with its rich foundation, was destroyed like this?"

Gu Yuan took the jade key from the Heart-Eating Insect, rubbed it gently, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Without the golden elixir, the Chixiao sect is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. How can it protect the vast spiritual land?"

Ma Wu also sighed, a little sad.

However, these are all events of the past, and the details cannot be traced anymore. Gu Yuan does not care about the reasons for the collapse of the Chixiao Sect.

Now he is only interested in the secret realm connected to the token.

"Except for this dragon talisman to avoid disaster, are there any other treasures?"

Gu Yuan asked, reaching out and flicking.

Dozens of shadow stones all bloomed with light, turning into dozens of projections, suspended in mid-air.

There was a golden light in his eyes, but in an instant, he browsed through all the photos.

"Jade Tower..."

In the casual picture of the Shadow Stone, you can vaguely see that there are several jade pagodas hovering above the majestic Lingshan Mountain, blooming with spiritual light.

"Master's wise eyes!"

"This secret realm seems to be a place of trial and treasure storage. Every once in a while, there will be a jade tower. Each jade tower is guarded by powerful monsters."

"But if you can defeat the monster, you can seize the treasure in the jade tower!"

"The little dragon talisman to avoid disaster was found in the third jade pagoda!"

"Although I am unable to go any higher, I have secretly spied on it. There is a higher-level jade pagoda on the spiritual peak, and there must be more precious treasures inside!"

The Heart-Eating Insect pointed at the image stone to show some distant images and reported to Gu Yuan.

"The jade pagoda hides treasures, and monsters protect the mountain. What is the origin of this secret realm?"

Gu Yuan was slightly confused.

"I'm not sure, but from what I've seen, this secret realm is probably not owned by the sect. It may be left by some casual cultivator!"

Heart Eater said uncertainly.

But its speculation is not unreasonable.

If the sect forces capture the secret realm, there will be heavy human traces on the Spirit Peak. Even if ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter the secret realm at will, there will still be facilities such as medicine gardens and palaces.

But on the spiritual peak in the secret realm, there are almost no man-made objects. It seems that all the secrets are hidden on the top of the mountain.

This is extremely consistent with the scene of being alone, sitting on the top of a mountain, watching the clouds roll and relax.

"Rogue cultivators..."

Gu Yuan pondered slightly.

It is extremely difficult to achieve Taoism through casual cultivation in this life, but if you succeed in learning, it will surely shake the world.

This disaster-avoiding dragon talisman is a proof.

"It's not urgent, we'll talk about it later!"

Gu Yuan put away the jade key and did not intend to explore this secret realm for the time being.

He has just broken through the golden elixir, and his methods are too lacking, so he must practice in a Taoist temple.

Moreover, he has the stone liquid in hand, so he can first detect the chance concentration before taking action.
