Embers of Sword

Chapter 80 The Secret of the Secret Tomb
In the Daolu Hall, rays of divine light poured down like waterfalls.

Daojiu flicked his sleeves lightly.

The blazing red light washed over the ground and turned into a door in front of everyone.

"The secret mausoleum left by the master is covered by one hundred and eighty-eight outer formations."

Dao Jiu said calmly: "Unless the outer formation is destroyed, anyone who wants to leave here will need to wait for the formation to be restored!"

"So...what is this door?"

"This is the 'gate of life'."

Dao Jiu said calmly: "Although I am only a weapon spirit, I have followed the master after all, and I know most of the operating rules of the outer array. If you want to survive, you only need to step into this 'life gate'. After that, every time the array pattern overlaps, a 'life gate' will appear before your eyes... Repeat this process, and in about an hour, you can leave the secret mausoleum."

After these words were spoken, no one dared to move.

The disciples of Baihua Valley all looked at Xie Xuanyi.

"I can only maintain this 'life gate' for a hundred breaths. Please think carefully about it."

Dao Jiu said calmly: "If you don't believe it, you can choose not to go. This secret mausoleum is huge, you just need to wait for the next time the formation is activated, then turn around and leave."

Say it.

He closed his eyes and rested, as if what happened here had nothing to do with him.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie?"

Yuan Yi spoke cautiously.

She couldn't make up her mind and could only look to Xie Zhen for help.

Although we didn't meet for long.

But for some reason...she has placed Xie Zhen in an extremely important position in her heart.

"Miss Yuan."

Xie Xuanyi said seriously: "I'm not sure about the others, but the Bai Ze Secret Realm is indeed covered by many formations... If you want to leave the secret realm, the opportunity in front of you may be the best opportunity."

Daojiu did not lie about this!

Every once in a while, the secret realm will be dismantled and redistributed!

"What about you?" Yuan Yi asked nervously.

She saw it from the beginning.

Xie Zhen’s identity is very unusual. He seemed to have other purposes in entering the Bai Ze Secret Realm.

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said, "I have something important to do, so I won't consider leaving for the time being."

Traveling with the disciples of Baihua Valley was just a coincidence.

He entered the Bai Ze Secret Realm in order to find [serious illness]... Saving Yuan Yi and killing the evil cultivator from Southern Xinjiang was both a "coincidence" and an "inevitability".

But if you go deeper into the secret tomb.

Xie Xuanyi and the disciples of Baihua Valley will face this situation sooner or later.

Lu Yuan and her friends no longer had any intention of treasure hunting. After being ambushed by the Chu family, their only wish was to leave the secret realm alive and deliver the information to the outside world.

There was a bang.

The sky above the Daolu Hall began to tremble—

This sound made all the disciples of Baihua Valley change color. This was the sound of the formation in operation!

The outer formation of the Bai Ze Secret Realm will be broken down and reorganized every once in a while!
The rumbling sound meant that the secret realm was about to change... In other words, this was the last chance to make a decision.

Lu Yuan gritted her teeth, took a step forward and spoke respectfully.

"Senior Daojiu."

The spirit of the weapon raised its eyes slightly and glanced at the woman in front of it expressionlessly.

Lu Yuan said sincerely: "I am from Baihua Valley in Qingzhou. I would like to thank Senior Daojiu for saving my life... If I can return to land safely, I will report to you. I hope you can show me some mercy and give me more guidance in the future."

"Flower Valley?"

Dao Jiu sneered and said calmly: "I haven't heard of it, and I don't care."

Lu Yuan's expression froze slightly.

However, Dao Jiu could hear the woman's tentative intention.

"Don't test me."

Dao Jiu said lazily: "If I really wanted to kill you, why would I lie and why would I waste my energy opening the door?"

This sentence made Lu Yuan silent.

"Ten breaths, if you don't leave, you will find another place."

Dao Jiu waved his sleeves.

The portal that was vaguely visible under the light of the furnace fire now became dim.

Lu Yuan's expression was uncertain.

She turned around and glanced at her fellow disciples behind her...some were injured or disabled.

If we continue to stay in the secret tomb, I'm afraid no one will survive.

"go!"

Lu Yuan let out a low shout, carried the unconscious junior sister on his back, and rushed towards the gate first.

Upon hearing this, the other disciples of Baihua Valley no longer hesitated, and all of them rushed towards the door with dim flames.

Only Yuan Yi.

"...Thank you, Master."

Yuan Yi held the reed sword, reluctant to leave.

Dao Jiu looked at this scene with a hint of disgust in his eyes and slowly turned around.

"Miss Yuan, don't worry about me."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Take care of yourself, we will have another chance to meet after we get out."

"That's right, sir."

Yuan Yi sighed in her heart. She looked at Xie Zhen reluctantly for the last time, her eyes full of regret.

pity.

From beginning to end, she never saw Xie Zhen's face clearly under the hat.

"Yuan Yi!"

Hearing the call of Senior Sister Lu Yuan from afar, Yuan Yi no longer hesitated and turned to rush towards the door. But when she finally stepped into the door and the fire was about to dissipate, she suddenly looked back and threw the reed in her arms with force.

A stream of light penetrated the hall.

Xie Xuanyi reached out and caught it steadily.

The flames died down, and specks of light dissipated under the eaves of the hall.

"It's...disgusting."

Dao Jiu turned around and said expressionlessly: "What is your relationship with that woman?"

Xie Xuanyi said: "I've only met him once."

"Tsk." Dao Jiu smiled: "Why don't I believe it? We've only met once, and she almost wants to dig out her heart and liver and give it to you. In my opinion, if you just opened your mouth, she would definitely choose to stay regardless of her master."

"Girls of this age are always like this."

Xie Xuanyi held the reed scabbard and said calmly, "It will be fine in a few years."

In a few years.

Yuan Yi will gradually forget what she experienced in Bai Ze Secret Realm...

She will meet many people.

Slowly, slowly, she will forget herself and forget about "Xie Zhen", a person who does not exist at all.

"Interesting, how long have you lived?"

Dao Jiu narrowed his eyes and stared at Xie Xuanyi, "I don't think you look this age."

From the very beginning, he noticed that there was something wrong with Xie Xuanyi.

This boy looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but his behaviors are not what someone of this age would do.

the most important is--

Those disciples of Baihua Valley respectfully called him "Senior Daojiu"!
But Xie Zhen actually subconsciously called himself "Brother Daojiu"!
what does this mean?
This means... Xie Zhen doesn't think that he, a Taoist furnace spirit who has been practicing for thousands of years, is so powerful that he needs to be called a senior!
"A little longer than them, but much shorter than you."

Xie Xuanyi did not step into the hall, but sat in front of the main entrance of the hall, keeping a distance from the spirit of the weapon.

"If I'm not mistaken, you won't be able to leave here."

Xie Xuanyi got straight to the point.

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the Taoist furnace at the top of the hall.

From beginning to end, Daojiu was in the hall.

In other words, he has been staying in the area covered by the divine mist of the Dao furnace!

An artifact spirit can develop intelligence and can be transformed into a human form, but in the final analysis, it is still an artifact spirit... Everything Daojiu does must be based on the rules of his master. He must abide by the rules set by Great Sage Bai Ze.

If Bai Ze stipulates, it cannot leave the hall.

Then, no matter how much it practices, it will not be able to leave this place.

"good."

Dao Jiu smiled and said, "If the weapon spirit can move freely... then this secret tomb would have been in chaos long ago. How could you ants of the second and third realms have the chance to see me?"

"I'm afraid you won't live to see this day."

Xie Xuanyi's words made Dao Jiu's smile disappear completely.

"Everyone in the world knows that Great Sage Bai Ze has many secret treasures."

"There should be more than one real treasure in this secret tomb that is more powerful than you, right?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "If you allow your true spirit to move freely, I'm afraid that the [Dao Pen] would have wiped out all of your will long ago."

The three words "Dao Bi".

A hint of fear appeared in Dao Jiu's eyes.

The demon race has bloodline suppression.

The same is true for weapon spirits...

The quality of the [Dao Furnace] is indeed very high, and it has reached the threshold of the Yang God's treasure, but compared with the [Dao Pen], there is still an insurmountable chasm.

How dare the Dao furnace spirit compete with the Dao pen?

Dao Jiu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said coldly: "Heh, how is that guy better than me... He is a great and holy treasure of the Supreme Dao, but he doesn't have freedom?"

"Wait, the Dao Brush is really in the secret tomb?"

Xie Xuanyi's eyes lit up.

According to the information from the library...the news about the Dao Pen must be fake!

"Why, can the spirit of the weapon die?"

Dao Jiu sneered, but then he thought about something and frowned, saying, "Come to think of it, I haven't felt the breath of this guy for a long time...Isn't it really going to escape?"

Daojiu's words contain a lot of information.

Xie Xuanyi rubbed his brows...

Obviously, the Dao Pen has been cultivated into a human form, and its cultivation level is higher than that of Dao Jiu's level spirit!
Chen Jingxuan said that he did not sense the aura of the [Dao Pen].

Could it be that the Supreme Saint Treasure escaped from the secret realm after transforming? !

"By the way, shouldn't you be the one answering my questions?"

Daojiu suddenly realized something was wrong.

After sending those women away, Xie Zhen kept questioning him.

I was discovered...

Xie Xuanyi smiled helplessly.

"Brother Daojiu, just ask... I will tell you everything I know and answer everything I know."

Dao Jiu stared at Xie Xuanyi for a long time.

After a long time, he asked the first question.

"Have you heard of 'Eclipse Lake'?"

This first question made Xie Xuanyi stunned.

Of course he had heard of Eclipse Lake!
To the east of the Demon Country, it stretches for tens of thousands of miles... This territory belongs to the Great Sun-Swallowing Lord!

But how did Daojiu know this place?
"Many years ago, monks came here. They were very different from you."

Dao Jiu asked seriously, "How many years have passed outside? Has the Eclipse Lake been destroyed? What is the relationship between Baihua Valley and the Eclipse Lake?"

Xie Xuanyi lowered his head and silently looked at the soil beneath him that was dried by the years but still had traces of blood on it.

If I'm not mistaken, this blood.

It's demon blood.

A series of trivial information, densely packed, flashed into my mind.

The secret realm of Bai Ze has not appeared in Da Chu for thousands of years!

But Daojiu said that several years ago, a group of monks entered the secret realm and fought each other in an extremely brutal manner!
Beihai, Lichao River, Eclipse Lake...

"No way?"

Xie Xuanyi sighed with a headache.

Everyone thought that this secret place of Bai Ze was hidden under the tide of national destiny, so it had not been discovered for thousands of years...

Now it seems that the truth is not like that at all.

Could the secret tomb left by Great Sage Bai Ze actually move on its own? !

After today, I will fix the time. If there is an emergency, I will open a separate chapter to explain it to everyone. Currently, the update is tentatively scheduled to be twice a day. If there is a reward from the leader, there will be an extra update. If the monthly votes exceed 1000 votes, there will be an extra update~)
