Chapter 682

"Okay, don't waste time. This secret realm can only be opened for one hour, and the next time it will open will be twelve years later. If we can't find the artifact as soon as possible, we will be trapped here to death!" The Fourteenth Prince said with a serious face.

Hui Lin also dropped Chu Lu's body and licked the corner of her mouth, which had turned bright red from swallowing blood. She was still a little tempted.

How could the crowd dare to neglect and quickly rushed towards the center of the building. It could be seen that the layout here seemed to be a palace. Roughly speaking, there were probably thousands of houses, but there was no doubt that the pressure coming from the center was the strongest. If there really was a magic weapon, it would definitely not be elsewhere.

These palaces are of rough style, with the flavor of ancient times. Although rough, they are also somewhat majestic.

At this moment, bursts of tiger roars were heard from the center of the palace. The sound was somewhat similar to the sound made by the remains before, but completely different.

Although the tiger roar in the remains was powerful, it carried a strong sense of death and decadence, just like an old man who was already very old and about to die. Although it was powerful, it did not have any vitality. But it was no wonder, after all, it was just the sound of a corpse.

Even if they are the remains of a mythical beast, they cannot withstand the erosion of time and years. The boundary between life and death is so clear.

At this moment, the tiger roar from underground, although not strong enough, is full of vitality, just like the roar of a young tiger in the valley, which still frightens all the beasts.

As everyone climbed up to the roof, they could see that there were all kinds of rare and exotic animals in this palace. They lived in groups here, and it was like they had their own ecological cycle system. However, their strength was completely incomparable to those beasts in the outside world. They were only a treasure. Although Li Ming could not recognize all of them, none of the ones he recognized would be worse than Chu Lu.

There are all exotic beasts and rare treasures. If such a garden is taken into the possession of any major force in the world, managed well and harvested regularly, I am afraid that the cultivation resources obtained by the disciples will increase several times.

At this moment, a magnificent palace can be seen in the center. It is not magnificent, but it is definitely full of ancient charm and natural Taoist rhyme. Childish roars are heard from it, making the strange beasts on the periphery tremble. No wonder this Chu Lu appears at the outermost edge.

"Look, the plaque in the hall!"

The scholar Hongye looked into the distance, at the main hall in the center, and then at Li Ming.

This is because the characters on the plaque hanging high in this hall are the same as the seal characters on the previous boundary marker, and are obviously the same seal characters. Only Li Ming can understand the true meaning of them.

"This seems to be." Li Ming murmured, looking at the seal characters, and an image of a white tiger roaring to the sky inexplicably appeared in his mind. Combined with the shape of the white tiger remains he had seen before, a vivid picture took shape in Li Ming's mind.

"Perhaps it should be called the White Tiger Temple."

"Such a strong aura... It's like a real divine beast is roaring here. Every breath is shocking. It is definitely not inferior to any other powerful being!" said Qiao Tianbao.

The Fourteenth Prince was very happy. After all, according to his ancestor's will, he would be the one holding the artifact after he took it out. Naturally, he hoped that the artifact would be as powerful as possible.

In the absence of a master, it often cannot even exert one tenth of its power. Even if I am unable to support the full power of the artifact at that time, it will definitely be stronger than it is now, and my status will definitely be greatly improved!
The Fourteenth Prince's eyes flashed, and he immediately said, "Don't say anything more, let's go!"

"I wonder who designed this hall. I initially thought it was the work of an ancestor of the Xia family. Now it seems he wasn't that capable. At most, he was refining and improving upon what his predecessors had left behind!" Li Ming's eyes flashed with inspiration, and the surrounding earth veins were memorized. The legend of the four mythical beasts was universally acclaimed, naturally holding a high status in the hearts of the people. Even three-year-olds knew they were the guardians of heaven and earth.

"It seems that this is the true borderland. The boundary marker we saw before is just a reminder. This desolate forest filled with all kinds of ferocious beasts is just a buffer zone. But who knows what kind of world is on the other side of this desolate forest."

Li Ming's thoughts were turning, but at this moment, something strange suddenly happened.

A strange wind arose from nowhere and filled the entire secret realm in an instant, even covering up the sound of the tiger's roar.

"This? What's going on?!" The Fourteenth Prince was shocked and angry. Up to this moment, what happened could not be said to be completely under control, but it was almost the same as planned. If he followed the ancestor's will, the road ahead should be smooth. As long as he walked to the front of the artifact, he could take it into his pocket. What was going on?

Instead, Li Ming looked at the faint flames that lit up in the wind, and he had some guesses in his mind.

"So this is the layout and formation. It has been modified several times. I understand now!"

Although this place is somewhat similar to a secret realm, it is not a complete secret realm. After all, a real secret realm is a more independent existence and cannot last so long.

This secret realm might be more appropriately called a semi-secret realm. Although the word "half" is added, it does not mean that this semi-secret realm is inferior to the ordinary secret realm. It may even be the opposite.

This secret realm draws on the power of the earth's veins, and may even have absorbed the spirit and essence of the mythical beast White Tiger when it was alive as a source of support.

Add to that the star gold, and it's a perfect ecological environment that can circulate on its own.

I'm afraid that after the Xia ancestors found this place, they were amazed at the arrangements made by their predecessors, but they also had selfish motives and wanted to continue the fortune of their dynasty, so they carefully modified and adjusted the magic circle here.

He also buried the embryo of the divine weapon mentioned by the Fourteenth Prince, and silently absorbed the energy of the earth veins and the essence of the divine beasts here.

Li Ming was able to recognize the magic circle here at a glance thanks to the inheritance of Miaokun Temple. The Cangjie Knife and the Wendao Sword in his hands were also forged using similar techniques.

However, no matter the material of the embryo, the scale of the formation, the quality of the earth veins and the gestation time, they are far from comparable, but the principles are similar.

Just as we have seen before, there is not only spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but also evil energy. It was not a problem when the divine beast was alive, but now the White Tiger is dead, and it has been many years since he passed away. The magic circle is still running, so what is extracted is not only the spirit of the White Tiger when he was alive, but also the evil spirit within it.

However, the embryo of the divine artifact instinctively resisted and expelled it, and attached itself to the remains of creatures that had died naturally in the secret realm over the years.
