I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 384: Leaving the Xuanwu Secret Realm

"Get out of here!" Xia Daoming made a tiger handprint with one hand and pulled out the black tiger knife with the other, and rushed down forcefully.

Soon, a fierce fight broke out at the bottom of the lake.

Huge waves rose on the lake.

By the lake, Xiao Jin watched the calm lake surface suddenly surge. The golden hair on his neck stood up, and his eyes flashed golden light across the lake. Unfortunately, this lake water was not ordinary water, and his divine eye had limited visibility, so he couldn't see clearly what was happening below.

Half a day later.

"Crack!" a sound.

The lake water suddenly surged upwards, and a figure rushed out in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"Master! Are you okay?" Xiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Daoming return.

"I'm fine, but I was too optimistic just now and forgot to consider one thing, that is, the island at the bottom of the lake also has forbidden protection.

At the bottom of the lake, my abilities were restrained to a great extent, and it was difficult to break through the restriction and enter the island. I just fought with the four dark water turtles guarding the island, but failed. "Xia Daoming frowned and said.

"It's a pity that Xiao Jin is too weak and can't go to the bottom of the lake to help his master." Xiao Jin blamed himself.

“You relied on swallowing and fusing the ancient golden roc essence twice before, and your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but it was too rapid after all, and your foundation was somewhat unstable, and the golden roc essence was not truly integrated.

During the past twenty years, you have protected me and been tempered by this great environment. You have completely merged the two strands of ancient golden roc essence into one. Your cultivation has improved a lot, your foundation is solid, and your strength is much greater than before. If you can go to the bottom of the lake and lend me a hand, I should be able to break the restriction.

But you don't have to blame yourself and worry. I still have a way to break the restriction, but if you do this, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for a while longer." Xia Daoming said.

"What method?" Xiao Jin asked.

"I am only a little short of breaking the restriction. As long as I can break through the Qi Refining to the late Jindan stage, the two combined forces should be no problem. If it still doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that I can calm down and practice for a while, and improve the body refining a little bit, and I will be able to break the restriction.

However, in the body refining, I am taking the extreme path, so it is much more difficult to improve. But in the Qi refining, I have accumulated many great opportunities before, and in the past twenty years, I have been trained by the Crimson Palace. As long as I calm down and practice, and take more spiritual medicines, it shouldn't be a problem to break through in a short time. "Xia Daoming explained.
-
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

this day.

The Ghost Abyss is more than 100,000 miles away from the Mingyou Island.

It was still as spooky as before, shrouded in dark clouds and fog.

Even the blazing sun at noon could not drive away the eerie fog.

A pair of ghost-headed chariots pulled a chariot surrounded by black mist from a distance.

There were four Jindan cultivators and twelve foundation-building cultivators surrounding the chariot on both sides, making it look quite impressive.

Sitting in the carriage was a tall and thin man in black. He was none other than Cang Mingzi, who had chased Xia Daoming from Mingyou Island when he was trying to seize the Soul Refining Pearl more than 20 years ago.

The convoy quickly arrived above Guiyuan and then disappeared into dark clouds and fog.

Suspended in the dark clouds and mist, looking at the deep and bottomless sea below and the huge whirlpool with eerie ghostly aura constantly gushing out, the accompanying foundation-building cultivators all showed a trace of fear and terror in their eyes, and even the Jindan cultivators' expressions became solemn.

"Set up the Four Symbols Locking Evil Formation!" Cang Mingzi said in a cold voice.

"We will follow the ancestor's orders!" Everyone responded and stood in four directions in groups of four, with one Jindan cultivator and three foundation-building cultivators.

Then each of them took out a peach wood sword and pointed it at the mouth of the Ghost Abyss. The shadows of four divine beasts appeared in the void, suppressing the evil spirits pouring out of the Ghost Abyss.

At this moment, a flag flew out from the carriage and floated above the whirlpool.

The banner unfolded, revealing a deep vortex.

Immediately, the evil spirits that were suppressed were sucked into the vortex on the banner.

As the wind blew, ghostly shadows appeared on the banner, showing their fangs and claws, making sharp cries, as if they were trying to break free from the banner and kill people and drink blood.

As the flag absorbed more and more evil spirits, the ghost shadows on the flag also increased in number, becoming more solid and clear.

Inside the carriage, Cang Mingzi's expression began to become distorted, as if he was enduring some pain.

At this moment, no one knew what happened below, and the evil spirit of the evil ghost suddenly surged out.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The four shadows were unable to suppress the sudden surge of evil spirit from the ghost, and they exploded and turned into nothingness.

The people controlling the formation also flew back. "No, didn't a ghost tide just break out more than 20 years ago?" Inside the carriage, Cang Mingzi's face changed slightly, and he raised his hand and took back the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.

This banner is an ancient magic treasure he found in a secret place a hundred years ago. It can be refined and used to drive away thousands of ghosts. Once it is truly refined and used, thousands of ghosts will come out together with great power.

However, this treasure has a strong backlash on spiritual consciousness, especially when absorbing and refining new evil spirits. Therefore, in the beginning, Cang Mingzi could sacrifice and refine this ancient treasure by himself. Later on, he needed his disciples to help suppress the evil spirits first, and then absorb and refine it with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.

Even so, the backlash that Cang Mingzi's consciousness suffered was still very powerful.

Just as Cang Mingzi was a little surprised, a figure rushed out from the whirlpool.

The man who came had disheveled hair and looked quite disheveled. It was Xia Daoming.

A year ago, due to the constraints of the underwater environment, he was unable to break the restriction on the central island of the seabed. He had no choice but to calm down and comprehend the art of Qi training, and finally broke through to the late Jindan realm a few days ago.

After breaking through to the late Jindan realm, Xia Daoming first spent some time searching the island that was exposed on the lake surface. Not only did he find two more Xuanwu Blood Pearls, two Liangyi Yuan Fruits, and five Turtle Snake Spirit Grasses, he also found the Qiankun Guiyuan Fruit that Mo Li had been longing for. In addition to these, there were many other opportunities.

After searching the island that emerged from the lake, Xia Daoming spent some time looking for the storage rings and magic weapons of the Nascent Soul cultivators who died in the Xuanwu Tide.

The environment of the Xuanwu Secret Realm is special. After two hundred years or even longer, some of the treasures left behind by the fallen monks of past generations have been frozen under the earth and are difficult to find. Some have been sucked into space cracks, and some have been eroded and destroyed by the special laws of the heaven and earth here and the Xuanming cold wind, becoming useless.

Just like the storage rings and magic weapons of the Nascent Soul cultivators who were buried in the Xuanwu Tide this time, even though they were of very good quality, they were basically broken and tattered after two hundred years of repeated erosion, crushing and washing by the lake water containing the Xuanming True Water.

But now only about twenty years have passed, so most of it is still well preserved.

Unfortunately, Xuanwu Lake is quite large and the environment is harsh. Even though Xia Daoming had the help of his divine eye, he only found six magic weapons of Nascent Soul cultivators and five storage rings of Nascent Soul cultivators after searching for dozens of days. Among them, one magic weapon and one storage ring belonged to Mo Li.

Mo Li was tricked by Xia Daoming and failed at the last moment, and was eventually killed in the Xuanwu Tide.

Xia Daoming had a rough idea of ​​where he died, so he expanded the search area to where he was buried, and he actually found it.

In addition to the magic weapons and storage rings of the Nascent Soul cultivators, Xia Daoming also found fifteen magic weapons and thirteen storage rings of the Golden Core cultivators.

After all, the number of Jindan cultivators on the surface of Xuanwu Lake and on the island at that time was several times greater than that of Yuanying cultivators.

Most of these Jindan cultivators are in the late Jindan stage, and the good things in their magic weapons and storage rings should not be underestimated. Putting so many of them together, even with Xia Daoming's wealth, it would be considered a huge fortune.

Because he was concerned about his relatives and friends outside, after two consecutive days of no gain, Xia Daoming decisively gave up the plan of continuing to search for magic weapons and storage rings at the bottom of the lake, and instead began a new round of attacks on the restrictions on the islands at the bottom of the lake.

With the help of Qi Refining, Xia Daoming narrowly broke through the restriction after several days. He was blocked by the restriction outside the passage gate for several days and finally reached the passage gate.

As for the opportunity on the island at the bottom of the lake, although Xia Daoming was also jealous, he could only exert 10% or 20% of his strength at the bottom of the lake, so he naturally did not dare to take risks easily.

If you get trapped in a restriction, you really can't get out.

Moreover, Xia Daoming had also observed and thought that the passage portal at the bottom of Xuanwu Lake should be different from the passage portal that only appears at a specific time outside the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

The passage portal here should most likely have always existed.

Once he gets out, he will most likely be able to return to the Xuanwu Secret Realm through this portal.

If his guess is true, then this Xuanwu Secret Realm has almost become his private secret realm where he can come and go as he pleases and receive opportunities at any time.

As for the island at the bottom of the lake, he could wait until he became stronger and then search slowly.

So after weighing the pros and cons from many aspects, Xia Daoming finally resisted the huge temptation to search for the island at the bottom of the lake, broke through the restriction and headed straight for the portal.

However, even though Xia Daoming resisted the temptation to search for the island at the bottom of the lake, he still experienced many hardships and dangers before he was finally able to step into the portal.

As soon as he walked out of the passage, he found himself in an extremely cold abyss.

But the coldness in this abyss is different from the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

Beneath the chilly and chilly atmosphere of the Xuanwu Secret Realm, there is a hint of pure and vigorous vitality.

But the coldness in this abyss is filled only with the dark power of death.

The entire abyss is filled with evil spirits and full of murderous aura.

"Thief, it's you!" Cang Mingzi was slightly stunned when he saw Xia Daoming rushing out, and then blurted out the words with murderous intent in his eyes.

"It's you! Cang Mingzi! So, this is Guiyuan? Haha, that's great, it's Guiyuan!" Xia Daoming was slightly stunned when he saw Cang Mingzi, and then suddenly he pointed at Cang Mingzi and laughed as if he had a mental disorder, as if he was unaware of Cang Mingzi's murderous intention towards him.

"That's right, this is the Ghost Abyss, and soon you will become one of the many evil spirits in this Ghost Abyss!" Cang Mingzi smiled coldly.

As he spoke, Cang Mingzi grabbed Xia Daoming through the air, and five black air shot out from his fingertips, transforming into five extremely cold black snakes that flew towards him.
