I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 365 Xuanwu Lake

As we progressed step by step, ten days passed quickly.

Xia Daoming and Xiao Jin both looked tired.

The mind is always highly tense, and in order to break some restrictions, it is inevitable to exhaust energy and even have to fight.

Even with Xia Daoming and Xiao Jin's cultivation level, they still found it a bit too much to handle.

However, there was a hint of excitement and anticipation in Xia Daoming and Xiao Jin's eyes.

In the first eight days, their gains were very limited.

But starting from the ninth day, their harvests began to gradually increase, and they also began to see the whereabouts of some people.

However, everyone saw it from a distance and consciously avoided it, so there was no conflict.

Those who can enter the depths of the secret realm, even if they are not powerful figures, generally have powerful life-saving items.

There are still more than ten days left before leaving the secret realm. The most urgent task is to find an opportunity, rather than to start a war easily before understanding the other party's background.

When the time comes, if no great opportunity has been found, some people may become bold and want to kill and rob.

"Master, look over there!"

The man and the bird both looked a little tired as they moved forward cautiously. Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Xiao Jin pointed to a huge, ruined palace in front of them on the right, with most of its four walls collapsed.

The sky above the palace without upper walls and dome was covered with golden light.

In the golden light appeared the shadow of a gigantic mythical beast with a tail like a dragon and a body like a tortoise. It was none other than the legendary Golden Turtle.

Under the golden light curtain and the phantom of the golden turtle, three rays of brilliant light continuously shot up into the sky, but were knocked down by the golden turtle's dragon tail and huge tortoise palm.

"The golden turtle is guarding the palace. It seems there must be good things there!" Seeing this, Xia Daoming raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After exploring the depths of the secret realm for the past ten days or so, Xia Daoming has more or less summed up some rules.

The Xuanwu Secret Realm regards Xuanwu as the supreme being, followed by the mythical beasts related to turtles and snakes.

Once the phantom of a mythical beast related to the turtle and snake appears in the restriction, the power of the restriction is often quite strong. This also shows that the area guarded by the restriction should have been an important place in the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

Xia Daoming had found two good things in the past two days. One was the Sun Gold Ganoderma, which could directly offset the hard training of an early Nascent Soul cultivator for more than 20 years, and the other was the Green Blood Resurrection Grass, which could heal the injuries of a seriously injured early or middle Nascent Soul cultivator in a short period of time. Both were found in the restricted area related to the Turtle and Snake restriction.

While they were surprised, Xia Daoming had already taken Xiao Jin towards the ruined palace that showed strange visions.

Only when they approached the ruined palace did Xia Daoming and Xiao Jin discover how magnificent it was.

The small half of the remaining wall was surprisingly hundreds of feet high. Not only that, the aura emanating from the golden turtle in the golden light was also extremely majestic and fierce, which made people frightened and dared not approach.

"Master, are we going to charge in?" Xiao Jin looked up at the magnificent ruined palace, eager to try.

"No rush, let's wait and see for a while, and you and I will take a break and recover our strength." Xia Daoming said as he took out a half-inch long section of Red Fire Polygonum multiflorum from the storage ring, cut it into two halves, threw one half into his mouth, and gave the other half to Xiao Jin.

Seeing his master throwing over a small piece of red fire Polygonum multiflorum, Xiao Jin's eyes lit up and he quickly opened his mouth and took it.

Xiao Jin naturally knew how precious this level of Red Fire Polygonum multiflorum was. Even with the wealth of his master, there was only a piece of it four or five inches long left in the storage ring.

If he was not in such a dangerous place, he would never be willing to take it out to replenish his magic power and blood.

The man and the bird were refining and absorbing the surging medicinal power of Red Fire Polygonum multiflorum and rapidly recovering their magic power and blood, when suddenly a crack was blasted in the golden light curtain, and then three brilliant rays of light flashed through the crack and rushed out.

The brilliant light disappeared, revealing three late Jindan cultivators with disheveled hair, pale faces, bloodstained clothes, and looking extremely miserable.

When Xia Daoming saw the faces of the three people clearly, he was startled at first, then felt awe-inspiring.

The three people are one man and two women.

The man looked like a scholar, and the two women, one had a cold temperament, and the other was petite and dressed in red.

They were actually three of the two men and two women he met in the Tianshuang Palace on Xuanyin Island, whose strength should be ranked very high among the late Jindan cultivators.

The man with a face full of flesh and a ferocious look, like a butcher, is now nowhere to be seen. He is most likely dead.

With the strength of these four people, they are qualified to compete with Nascent Soul cultivators for opportunities in an environment that is relatively more unfavorable to Nascent Soul cultivators.

As a result, they didn't expect that with more than ten days left, one of the four had already died. The three looked at Xia Daoming and Xiao Jin from a distance, with a flash of surprise in their eyes.

Obviously the three of them had some impression of Xia Daoming and were surprised that he could make it here.

This is already considered the middle area deep in the secret realm.

However, the three men's gazes only lingered on Xia Daoming and Xiao Jin for a moment before they looked back at the ruined palace, their eyes full of regret and unwillingness.

Then, the three of them left quickly.

"It seems that they failed to get the treasure, but just barely broke through the restriction and escaped. This Golden Turtle restriction is not simple!" Xia Daoming said, touching his chin.

"If they were able to escape with their skills, then we will certainly be able to do so. In fact, they also helped us figure out the degree of danger," Xiao Jin said.

"You are smart, but there were four of them. The combined strength of the four should be able to compete with the Nascent Soul. If another one dies in this restricted area, then it must be more dangerous than you think. Be careful when you go in later." Xia Daoming touched Xiao Jin's head and said.

A man and a bird broke into the dilapidated palace before them.

Soon, the disappeared golden light curtain and the huge golden turtle phantom appeared again above the ruined palace.

Under the golden light curtain and the golden turtle's phantom, there was a golden light like a giant bird and a black knife like a winged tiger, constantly charging and killing.

Half an hour later.

A black blade light broke through the golden light curtain.

A man and a bird rushed out from the crack in the light curtain.

"Haha, not bad!" As soon as he rushed out, Xia Daoming couldn't hide the joy on his face.

In the corner of this ruined palace there is a spiritual medicine garden, where there grow three turtle-snake spiritual herbs that can increase the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator by sixty years.

This turtle-snake spirit herb is of no use to Xia Daoming now, but to a Nascent Soul cultivator whose lifespan is coming to an end, it is a priceless treasure.

In a blink of an eye, another seven days passed.

There are only ten days left before the portal to the Xuanwu Secret Realm appears.

During these seven days, Xia Daoming got some opportunities, but he did not continue his previous good luck. What he got was not a big opportunity for him. As for the Black Tortoise Blood Pearl, there was no trace of it.

During this period, the dangers he experienced became increasingly severe. Not only were the five remaining pathfinder skeletons destroyed, but his combat power was also greatly depleted, forcing him to release the Mountain God's Sceptre many times.

I don’t know whether the area behind this place has been searched before, or whether it was swept away by people in the ancient times.

But no matter how you put it, the dangerous experiences of these seven days and the cost and gain of recovering mana and blood energy are somewhat disproportionate.

“Since the Xuanwu Secret Realm was opened to the public, there have been very few Nascent Soul cultivators willing to enter the secret realm. It seems that not only are the prohibitions here very unfavorable to Nascent Soul cultivators, but also because there are very few opportunities here.

After all the efforts, even at the cost of serious injury or life, it is often in vain. It seems that I can't waste time here any longer. I have to rush to the innermost Xuanwu Lake, where many treasures are said to have flowed out, to look for opportunities. "

Seven days later, when Xia Daoming once again painstakingly broke through layer after layer of restrictions, he found that there was nothing inside. He finally decided to go straight to the most important opportunity area in the Xuanwu Secret Realm, and also the most dangerous place - Xuanwu Lake.

On the fortieth day after the Xuanwu Secret Realm was opened, a man and a bird came to a huge black lake.

This black lake is completely different from the surging Xuanming River.

There was not a single ripple on the surface of the lake; it was as quiet as a huge piece of black jade.

In the middle of the lake, there is an island, and on the island is a completely black palace.

However, most of the palace's structure has collapsed and ruined, leaving only a corner of the palace.

But in this corner of the palace, the remaining wall reaches up to the sky, making it impossible to see the end.

It is hard to imagine how magnificent this palace would have been if it were complete.

There are four giant turtle statues located in the east, south, west and north of the island.

Although these four giant turtles are already in tatters and covered with traces of war and time, they still have the appearance of bird heads, turtle bodies and snake tails. They are exactly the same as the spiral turtles that Xia Daoming saw in the ancient ruins of Nieyan, except that these four giant turtles are completely black.

It is another branch of the spiral turtle, named the dark water spiral turtle.
