Chapter 163 Secret Realm, Aura, Aura!
Yu Que felt his head spinning. When his consciousness finally recovered, he immediately released his family's ancestral temple and stood guard over it.

As a result, after the ancestral temple was opened, the dizziness still lasted for about a hundred breaths before it was relieved.

Damn it!

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in horror. A dilapidated loess wall appeared in his eyes, with strange runes smeared on the wall.

Seeing this scene, Yu Que turned around in a daze and looked around, wanting to leave and return to the ground.

Such a weird thing happened right after entering the underground palace, so it’s better to leave.

But when he turned around, there was another solid wall behind him. When he looked up, he saw it was also made of yellow earth, with no opening to enter or exit.

"How is this going?"

Yu Que's expression was even more surprised. After his eyes changed for a while, he thought to himself:

"Could it be the teleportation array that was rumored?"

Rumor has it that in ancient times, immortals had developed a "teleportation array" that could transport people and objects thousands of miles away. It was also often used by immortals as the entrance and exit of their caves.

However, this legend is too far away, and there is no credible record in the existing documents and books of the Xianghuo Dynasty. Therefore, even in the eyes of the immortals, the teleportation array is still a fairy tale.

Yu Que thought about it carefully and soon came up with a more credible reason.

He squinted his eyes and looked around: "If it's not the rumored teleportation array, then I must have fallen into a spiritual realm, or a secret realm, or a void cave."

He bravely took a few steps in the narrow space where he appeared, and found that the place where he was seemed to be used only for storing sundries. A lot of pottery and porcelain fragments could be seen on the ground, piled up layer by layer, suspected to be burial objects.

Suddenly, Yu Que found a skeleton among a pile of debris.

He swung out the White Back Sword and easily dug out the skeleton completely.

After identifying the undecayed clothes on the skeleton, the understanding on his face became more obvious, and with it came a hint of excitement.

"That's right. There are skeletons of bandits here. It should be the secret cave buried under the mound. As long as we can leave here, we can return to the outside world."

This kind of situation is not uncommon in rumors and books.

Especially during a certain period of time when incense was in vogue, the imperial court had made great efforts to explore strange and bizarre places all over the country, and thus found many secret caves.

According to Xianghuo Yizhao, these secret realms or evil sects, in order to protect themselves when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exhausted, imitated the various paradises of their predecessors and hid their mountain gates in the earth veins and water veins, establishing their own sects, different from the outside world, and forming their own area.

But it is not the residence of immortals, nor can it be considered a paradise, so it is called a "secret realm".

In addition, there were many Taoists in ancient times. They did not have a sect, but they also faced the problem of spiritual energy depletion and the severance of their spiritual veins. They chose to isolate their own caves from the outside world as much as possible, trying to lock the spiritual energy in the caves and preserve a part of the inheritance.

This type of secret realm is even smaller than the secret realm left by the evil sect. Sometimes it is only the size of a coffin. The spiritual energy inside can only preserve the appearance of the corpse in the coffin. Once opened, the appearance will quickly decay and fade, and the heritage inside will also be destroyed.

If one wants to obtain this kind of inheritance, the immortals must boldly let their spirits leave their bodies, leaving only their spirits in the coffins, first earning the inheritance and then breaking out of the coffins.

Yu Que pondered, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he immediately took out several talismans from his sleeves, and slapped them left and right, suppressing the aura within a ten-foot radius to avoid exposing himself.

He sat cross-legged in the darkness created by the talisman, slightly closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation.

The next moment, a breath that was unimaginable to him appeared in his perception.

This thing is like air but not air, like light but not light. It can barely be called "Qi". It fell into his consciousness, changing in a thousand ways and was extremely mysterious.

While Yu Que was visualizing his own Yin Spirit, as his Yin Spirit flickered like breathing, the aura around him actively came up to it, broke up into pieces, and slowly merged into his Yin Spirit.

At first, Yu Que did not dare to incorporate these strange auras into the Yin God. He chose to feed them to the household gods first, to see how they were doing, and then decide whether to feed them back to him.

When the household gods showed no signs of abnormality and were instead all in high spirits, Yu Que became even bolder and directly refined the aura around him into his own Yin God.

With a buzzing sound, the spiritual light on both sides of its Yin God was blessed by the mysterious aura, and it immediately became brighter, like adding oil to a candle.

After only sitting cross-legged in meditation for half an hour, Yu Que's Yin Shen golden body grew stronger. This speed was almost no different from when he was cultivating a Five Internal Organs God in his body!
Such a mysterious aura is exactly the rare thing that the immortals of the world desire but cannot obtain.

"Spiritual energy! There really is spiritual energy in this world."

Yu Que suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bright.

As an immortal in this world, he had heard the word "spiritual energy" so many times that his ears were almost callused. However, this was the first time for him to experience it personally and refine it into his body.

Moreover, the miraculous effect of the spiritual energy made him addicted to it immediately, and he almost became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

Because compared to using the household god to refine the incense first and then getting feedback from the household god, refining the spiritual energy for his Yin God is like arranging a ritual or swallowing pills with every inhalation and exhalation. Every wisp of spiritual energy can immediately show its miraculous effect on his Yin God and strengthen his Yin God.

Yu Que also discovered that his Yin Spirit had made great progress in terms of solidity after absorbing the spiritual energy.

In other words, the foundation cultivated through spiritual energy is much more solid than that cultivated through incense.

Thinking of this, Yu Que's face showed excitement and sigh.

The reason why he broke away from the state of cultivation just now was not only because he still had a little rationality in his mind, but also because in half an hour, all the free spiritual energy nearby had been absorbed by him.

However, the spiritual energy that was slowly drifting over from other places was so slow that he could not wait any longer.

If he wanted to continue practicing as vigorously as he had just now, he'd better change his position.

With his eyes flashing, Yu Que silently stopped practicing, then stood up and looked towards the dark opening in front of him.

As he stood up, groups of fat and strong ghost cavalrymen appeared silently on his left and right.

They were crowded in the narrow loess wall. If they were not all souls and could overlap with each other, they would have been squeezed and unable to move.

Yu Que summoned the ghost soldiers, and after a few moments of hesitation, his eyes became firm:

"Now that I have come to this opportunity, if I don't take it, I will suffer the consequences." He has already made up his mind to wander around this secret cave. He doesn't want to get any great treasures, but at least he wants to have a good feast of spiritual energy!
Otherwise, if I just wait for Jun Baifeng, Lao Mahou and others to come find me later, it would be a waste of this opportunity and I would regret it a lot.

........................

at the same time.

In several other places, the same expression appeared on other people.

The seventh commander Fei Wu, who was the first to enter the secret realm of the cave, was ecstatic after refining the free spiritual energy around him:
"Hahaha! It turns out to be the spiritual place as rumored. Immortal fate, immortal fate!"

The fear that originally existed in his heart now turned into covetousness.

After the ecstasy, Fei Wu calmed down and showed a sinister smile on his face: "Jun family bitch, if it weren't for you leading the way, how could this commander set foot on such a treasure land. When I succeed in finding the treasure, I will definitely reward you in the future!"

Whoosh.

This person entered this place earlier than Yu Que, and his actions were more impatient than Yu Que's.

And according to what Fei Wu knew, as long as there was still spiritual energy in the place, there would often be various kinds of elixirs and treasures left by the ancients, and some secret caves were actually prepared by the predecessors for future generations.

Among them there will be not only elixirs and magical instruments, but also the skills and even blood inheritance of the predecessors.

Even though many of the ancient traditions are no longer suitable for today's world, this does not mean that those traditions have become waste.

It can not only be used to comprehend evidence and improve knowledge, but also as long as the spiritual energy is found, the immortals of today can still practice the ancient inheritance. However, if it is used, it will often consume a lot of spiritual energy.

Unless the spiritual energy in the outside world is revived one day, all the magic spells practiced in the secret realm will only be able to be used like talismans. After being used a few times, they will drain all the spiritual energy in the immortal's body.

If you don't have enough spiritual energy and you try to use it forcibly, it will directly damage your foundation.

Thinking of this, Commander Fei Wu's breathing became more rapid.

The man showed a grim smile on his face: "If I can cultivate mystical skills here, then in this secret place where you can't see the sky above and the ground below, I can directly kill all of you, and no one can blame me."

It was as if there was a fire burning in this fellow's heart. He released his spiritual sense and quickly rushed towards the direction where he sensed the most concentrated spiritual energy.

………………

“This is—reiki?!”

Jun Baifeng was in a corner, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

Although there was a look of surprise on this woman's face, she was not as overly suspicious as Yu Que and Fei Wu.

Instead, she frowned and pondered: "What's going on? Ten years ago, although there was spiritual energy here, it was not as direct as it is today where I could sense it and absorb it into my body for refining.

Did the bandits come in and destroy the coffin and formation, causing the spiritual energy to leak out? Or is there something mysterious here that I don't know about?"

It turned out that Jun Baifeng had known from the beginning that everyone would fall into a secret cave, but to her surprise, the situation in the secret cave was very different from what she knew.

This made Jun Baifeng's heart sink slightly, and then she whispered: "Not good."

The woman took out a palm-sized compass, muttered a few spells, clenched her sword finger, held a hair between her fingers, and pointed it at the compass!
Buzzing, the needle on the compass suddenly spun wildly, as if looking for something.

But it turned more than ten times, swaying unsteadily, still without a steady direction, as if it was disturbed by something.

This made Jun Baifeng's eyes change slightly: "Sure enough, the spiritual energy leaked out, and the ground energy here has also changed. As a result, the induction-type spells and magic tools have been greatly affected."

After thinking for a while, a gloomy look finally appeared on her face.

Jun Baifeng couldn't help but want to crush the compass directly.

Her original plan was that after everyone fell into the secret cave, she would rely on the magic weapon in her hand and her ability to foresee the future, so that she could first calmly gather important figures such as Yu Que to her side, and then take the opportunity to kill people like the seventh commander Fei Wu in the secret realm, so as to eliminate future troubles and leave no handle.

But now the spiritual energy in the cave was growing, which disrupted her plan.

Now, let alone looking for someone, she didn't even know where she was in the secret cave.

After thinking for a moment, Jun Baifeng suppressed the violence in her heart. She just snorted coldly a few times, put the compass into an iron ring on her wrist, and strode towards the direction where the spiritual energy was rich.

“Although there have been changes, I am still the most powerful man here!
I just hope that Master Yu will not let me down and not die here prematurely."

She was talking to herself in her heart, coldly and sighing.

........................

Except for Yu Que, Commander Fei Wu, and General Jun Baifeng, other commanders, abbots, personal soldiers, and Old Monkey who entered the tomb, also boldly stepped out of their hiding places after being shocked.

"Hahaha, this is fate!"

"No wonder the general wanted to come here alone. I didn't expect the opportunity here to be so great."

"In my lifetime, I don't know how many opportunities like today will come to me - let's go for it!"

Among them, the old monkey's face turned into a monkey's butt with excitement, and he was more excited than others.

This guy didn't expect that he just came with Yu Que to join in the fun, but he would actually encounter such a fairy fate.

Ma Hong thought excitedly in his heart: "It is said that the effect of the ancient elixir is incomparable to that of today. The ancients who left tombs for inheritance often had elixirs that can prolong life and restore youth in their tombs.

If I could get a few pills, I wouldn't ask to live a few more decades, but I would ask for them to help me stay alive and continue my journey!"

The fiery look almost filled the old monkey's eyes.

Whoosh, this person's movements were more urgent than the commander Fei Wu. He shook his body and wandered around in the secret realm.
