Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 483 The Lower Bound
In the early morning, in the Five Elements State, deep in the vast mountains, with flourishing ancient forests and abundant vegetation, nocturnal beasts are returning to their nests one after another, replaced by the howling of monkeys, the crying of birds, the roaring of deer and the roaring of lions. The entire wilderness is gradually waking up from its slumber.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the dense tree canopy, bringing new light to the world under the forest, two children wearing animal skins could be vaguely seen hiding in the dark, staring at a cave on the hillside with their eyes wide open.

They are like experienced hunters, hiding themselves near the set traps and quietly waiting for the prey to appear.

Although the two little faces were filled with fatigue, their eyes were full of determination, just like ferocious beasts that had accumulated strength and were ready to attack and hunt at any time.

Suddenly, the pile of weeds in front of the cave entrance shook slightly, and the two children who were lying in ambush nearby immediately held their breath.

When a silver-haired, mouse-like beast showed its head at the cave entrance, the little boy who was observing the cave from the front shouted to the hillside, "Xiaoyu, do it."

In an instant, the little girl hiding behind a huge rock on the hillside took out a sharp sword and stabbed it straight towards the ground right above the cave.

The little boy threw out a treasure seal and smashed it towards the monster's head.

The monster was frightened and retreated instantly, but unfortunately the powerful sword energy released by the divine sword in the little girl's hand had pierced through the ground above the cave and penetrated deep into the cave, directly blocking its retreat.

"Oh!"

The monster was unable to retreat, and was hit hard on the head by the magic seal sacrificed by the little boy. Its brain burst and it died on the spot.

However, the two children did not go over to collect the spoils, but quickly ran away from the cave.

It seems that killing the monster in the cave is not the real purpose of their trip.

Just after the two children escaped to a safe place dozens of miles away, a sharp roar came from the cave.

Only after they hid in a tree hole in an ancient tree with a diameter of several feet did they completely escape danger.

After taking off the animal skin coat she had worn as camouflage, the little girl asked, "Brother, can that method really kill all the cave rats in that nest?"

"Of course you can. I've been observing for more than ten days. Almost every morning, the first cave rat to leave the nest is the pathfinder of their family. Given the timid nature of the cave rat, after the pathfinder is killed, the rat king of the tribe will immediately move with his people, and the original nest will be abandoned. Moreover, the nearby armored beasts like to eat cave rats the most. The bloody smell of the cave rat we killed will soon attract the armored beasts to come for food." The little boy said as he handed the cracked nuts to the little girl.

"Is this the military strategy of driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger, and then reaping the benefits?" The little girl asked with a little curiosity while eating nuts.

"I don't know either." Although the little boy is two years older than the little girl, he is still just a child under seven years old, and his knowledge outside of cultivation is extremely limited.

"Brother, shall we go to the cave rat's nest to mine tonight?" the little girl asked after she had eaten.

"Well, we'll go tonight. Hopefully there's enough Voidstone in that cave."

In order to reach the eight realms of the lower world, the brother and sister have been traveling in this primitive wilderness for more than three months since leaving the Dragon Cave.

Li Zhi saw all their performance during this period. In order to collect things containing the power of the void, the two children honed themselves into the best hunters.

Even when facing ferocious beasts at the spiritual level, they can overcome the danger with their own cleverness and wisdom.

Of course, as the Great Wilderness of the Three Thousand Dao States, it is impossible that there are only these inferior ferocious beasts. It’s just that the ferocious beasts above the inscription level were scared away by the aura secretly released by Li Zhi.

Letting them collect treasures containing the power of the void is only to hone them, not to let them die.

Li Zhi had already sensed that inside the cave dug by the Void Rat that the brother and sister were targeting this time, there were many Void Stones. Even deep in the cave, there was a piece of metal ore that barely reached the level of Void Divine Gold.

After smelting the metal from the original ore, it is enough to refine a supreme artifact.

Although the heaven and earth of the original ancient world were shattered in the ancient battle of the immortals, the heaven and earth were broken into 19 continents, and the origin of the heaven and earth was not plundered like in later generations. Therefore, each continent can still give birth to countless creations.

Even the resources in each place are enough to support the monks living there to become immortals.

The reason why the cultivators of this era cannot become immortals is not always because of flaws in the great way of heaven and earth, but because they will encounter sudden invasions of dark forces when they are trying to overcome the tribulation of becoming immortals.

It is easier to overcome thunder tribulation than darkness. This is the reason why future generations cannot become immortals.

If there was an Immortal King willing to help them block the dark forces that appeared when they became immortals, it would be impossible that no true immortal was born in this era until now.

It’s a pity that the Ancient Era of Immortals came to an end, the Immortal Kings of the original ancient world died out, and the Immortal Kings in the restricted area ignored the affairs of the world, which led to a complete loss of true immortals in the outside world.

After the brother and sister took turns resting in the tree hole, night gradually fell.

After they packed up their things, they headed towards the cave rat's nest again.

Sure enough, there was no trace of the Dongxu Rat there, even the corpse of the Dongxu Rat that they killed had disappeared.

After the brother and sister entered the cave, they started mining directly with magic tools.

Even under Li Zhi's secret guidance, they dug out the ore of Void Divine Gold.

"Brother, with this piece of Void Divine Gold, we can go to the lower world, right?"

Seeing the huge piece of Void Divine Gold ore, the brother and sister were both very happy.

Then, the little boy took out the altar that Li Zhi had condensed using his own essence, and seemed to be planning to perform a sacrifice in the cave.

"Is this a Chaos Artifact? Why is it different from what grandpa described?" The little girl asked puzzledly, looking at the ordinary altar in the little boy's hand.

"This altar is not used for fighting. Its main function is to evolve higher-level Taoism. It is a platform for Taoist sacrifices." The little boy introduced to the little girl.

"Altar for sacrifice? What is that?" the little girl asked in confusion.

"I'm not sure either. Let's wait until we successfully reach the lower world, and then we can explore its specific functions." The little boy didn't quite understand the information that Li Zhi instilled in him, but he knew that now was not the time to explore the functions of the magic weapon.

"Yu'er, where did you put the immortal seed?" the little boy asked again.

The little girl immediately took out a pendant hanging around her neck and said, "I hid it in my pendant."

The little boy pondered for a moment and said, "Take it out and try to integrate it into your ancestral acupoint between your eyebrows."

The little girl asked doubtfully, "Brother, are we going to use it now? Didn't you say that I would absorb it into my body when I ignite the divine fire in the future?"

The little boy said, "This time in the lower world, apart from the magic weapon that grandpa left us, the only mysterious things are this immortal seed and the altar. I am worried that after we go to the lower world, the immortal seed will be lost or taken away by someone. After all, the lower world is a place where the most evil are imprisoned. It doesn't matter if the magic weapon is lost, but if these two things are lost, we will have no chance to grow up."

"Then I'll try." Then the little girl stuck the immortal seed condensed by Li Zhi on her forehead.

Without any surprise, the immortal seed entered her sea of ​​consciousness.

The little girl said in surprise: "Brother, I succeeded."

The little boy said, "Take the good things, and I will set up the altar for our underworld."

Li Zhi understood clearly that the little boy was worried that the altar would leave him directly after he went to the lower world, so he asked the little girl to try to integrate the immortal seed into her body.

After all, not everyone can control chaos magic weapons, they all have independent thinking abilities.

This is one of the things the little boy's grandfather told him about the precautions regarding magical instruments.

"What a thoughtful child." Li Zhi couldn't help but look at the little boy with admiration.

Just as the little boy and the little girl were preparing sacrifices and planning to open the passage to the underworld.

In the lower world, in the wilderness, in Shi Village, a group of young men, led by the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng, were praying to a lightning-struck tree at the entrance of the village, asking the sacrificial spirit to protect the tribe members and to bless them to return with a full load from hunting. When the two children had arranged the altar and offerings, the young men in Shi Village also returned from hunting, and almost everyone was dragging a ferocious beast in their hands.

They returned home safely with a full load, which made the women, children and the elderly in the village very happy.

Among the prey there is a huge elephant with dragon horns, whose body is like iron and is difficult to be injured by swords and knives. Its pair of dragon horns are as sharp as spears and can easily smash boulders. There is also a one-legged Kui beast that looks like a wild bull, and its voice is like thunder. If it is nearby, it can shock a person to death. There is also the flying python with huge wings on its ribs, which can be called the killer in the jungle.

In addition, there are several more special beasts, such as the two-headed fire rhinoceros with a red body and the Pixiu with impure blood...

During this hunt, due to the great battle between the powerful men in the wilderness, many ferocious beasts with weak cultivation were affected, allowing them to obtain a rare and huge harvest.

Finally, under the leadership of the old patriarch, everyone carried the corpses of dozens of wild beasts to the lightning-struck tree at the entrance of the village and placed them all on the altar to sacrifice to the spirits that were protecting them.

The sacrificial spirit is the spirit of sacrifice, which is the abbreviation of a tribe's "spirit of sacrifice and offering". They guard the village, intimidate the ferocious beasts in the wilderness, and enjoy the sacrifices offered by the villagers.

The altar of Shi Village was built with huge stones and was quite spacious. The mountain of offerings piled up here was even taller than the spirits being worshipped.

Under the leadership of the old patriarch, the men, women, young and old of Shi Village prayed together, asking the willow tree for protection. This was a solemn sacrificial process that was carried out almost every time they came back from hunting.

The charred lightning-struck wood that was offered as a sacrificial spirit by the old and young in Shi Village did not absorb the essence and blood of the sacrifices like a normal sacrificial spirit. Instead, it was as silent as before, without any reaction, as if it had never taken any sacrifices in the past.

However, Shicun's attitude towards the sacrifice has not changed, and he still worships the charred willow tree according to normal rituals.

Just when everyone thought the sacrifice was over.

Above the sky, there was a sudden flash of lightning and rolling dark clouds. In addition, sounds like hammering continued to be heard from the thunder, as if the god of thunder in the sky was forging weapons.

At the same time, there was a pressure coming down from the sky, as if something was about to fall from the sky.

Upon seeing this, the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng's eyes widened immediately, and he instantly remembered the scene decades ago when the sacrificial willow tree fell from the sky.

That late night, there was lightning and thunder, heavy rain, and the storm was extremely violent. Many mountains were collapsed by lightning, mountain torrents were like the sea, and ferocious beasts were running like tides. The scene was terrifying.

At that time, a huge willow tree that reached the sky appeared in the clouds, bathed in the sea of ​​thunder, and the lightning thickened the mountains. Thousands of willow branches turned into blazing divine chains, piercing the entire sky, as if fighting something. fighting.

Finally, the big willow tree broke, its body turned black, and it shrunk to its current size. It fell down and took root in the Stone Village. At the same time, the lightning disappeared, the torrential rain retreated, and the sacrificial spirits of the Stone Village also left on their own initiative.

"Chief, what should we do?" Seeing such a horrifying phenomenon appearing in the sky, but the sacrificial spirit did not react at all, the leader of the hunting team, Shi Linhu, asked Shi Yunfeng.

"Wait, and believe that Lord Ji Ling will protect our safety." The strange phenomenon in the sky today is much smaller than the scene that Shi Yunfeng saw that year, so he said calmly.

Soon, the thunder and lightning in the sky disappeared, and then a huge fireball fell from the sky like a meteorite, hitting the outside of Shi Village.

"boom!"

Finally, the fireball landed less than a hundred feet away from Shi Village.

A huge hole with a diameter of ten feet was smashed directly into the ground.

"Lin Hu, Fei Jiao, the two of you take the ancestral artifacts and go over to take a look." Shi Yunfeng ordered after the heat wave in the pit dissipated.

Soon, Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao took the ancestral weapon of Shi Village and walked towards the big pit.

At this moment, there were two children lying in the pit, almost burned to charcoal, and under them was something like a big pot.

"Chief, it's two children." After standing by the pit for a long time, Shi Linhu shouted to the villagers standing near the sacrificial spirit.

Then a group of villagers gathered around.

"They are still alive." A child shouted when he saw the fingers of the two children lying on the big pot at the bottom of the pit seemed to move.

"Yunfeng, is this the situation in the legend where a powerful person failed to cross the void and fell from the void?" an old man asked the village chief.

"It's possible. Since they are still alive, take them back." Shi Yunfeng said.

"Chief, we don't know where they came from. Is it inappropriate to bring them back to the village rashly?" Shi Feijiao said with a worried look on his face.

"Since Lord Ji Ling did not give any warning, it means they are not enemies and there should not be much danger. Let's take them back and see the situation. Maybe they can bring a different future to the children." Shi Yunfeng said.

That year, the big willow tree fell from the sky and brought a piece of precious bone with it.

Now it was very unusual that two children came down from the sky and brought a big pot with them.

Then Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao came to the pit, carrying the object that looked like a big pot, and carried the two children in front of the sacrificial spirit.

"Master Ji Ling, if these two children are disaster stars, please let us know." The old patriarch Shi Yunfeng asked respectfully towards the piece of lightning-struck wood.

However, the sacrificial spirit did not give any response, which made the people in Shi Village finally feel relieved.

In a place they couldn't see, Li Zhi, after seeing the piece of wood struck by lightning, couldn't help but sigh that he had finally seen the legendary Willow God.

Originally, when the brother and sister went down to the mortal world, Li Zhi wanted to send them to the Xuanyu where the Bulao Mountain was located.

After all, they came from the Five Elements State, and their spatial coordinates almost went straight to the Xuan Realm.

However, after descending to the lower world, Li Zhi immediately sensed the supreme aura belonging to the ancestral spirit between heaven and earth.

Then he changed the destination and sent the two children to the wilderness, to the side of the ancestral spirit.

Perhaps Emperor Huang Tian had already been born at this time.

In the eight realms of the lower world, although the essence of heaven and earth and the laws of the great way are not as perfect as those in the upper world, the supreme fortune is no less.

As far as the strong are concerned, there are not only the ancestral spirits who have achieved Nirvana in the eight realms of the lower world, but also the obsession of the Lord of the Yin-Yang Cross Forbidden Zone, and the remnants of three old guys who have not yet died in the Xiling Realm.

In addition, in the virtual world, there are the Taoist Immortal Gold and the second-best Yuanshen in the world of the original dragon clan. In Baiduan Mountain, there is suspected to be the foreign demon King Pu or his descendants.

Not to mention the Dark Immortal Kings and Dark True Immortals who were imprisoned in cages.

As for the inheritance of martial arts, it is not weaker than that of the upper realm at all. There is a complete inheritance of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique in the Xushen Realm, a complete inheritance of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique in the Kunpeng Nest in the North Sea, and the true dragon's parents and children are sealed in the lower realm, and the bloodline of the God Stone is also multiplying in this realm.

As for the things in the Supreme Hall such as the Caozi Sword Technique, I won’t say much.

There are even "The Original True Explanation" and "The Map of All Spirits", the true inheritance of the Immortal Emperor.

The eight realms of the lower world have so many amazing fortunes, it is simply an excellent place for growth prepared for the rise of the strongest.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Zhi sent them to the lower world to practice.

Not to mention another reason, there is Emperor Huang Tian, ​​a man born for the Tao in this world.

If they could grow up with Emperor Huang Tian, ​​the impact on them would be immeasurable. Not only would it allow them to understand what a true genius in cultivation looks like, but they would also be protected by a trace of mysterious luck, allowing them to grow more smoothly.

There have been many brilliant and talented Immortal Kings born in this world, but those who can still be active in the heavens and all worlds in the future will all be the partners of Emperor Huang Tian without exception.
