No money for martial arts university? Slay your way through the border to the top martial arts schoo

Starting from a small town in the Northwest Military Region, we flew northwest along the mountains, and the landscape became increasingly desolate.

In the first half, you can still see scattered villages and military outposts, but in the second half, there's nothing at all.

The green on the ground gradually faded away, leaving only weathered rock in the end.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the dragon's back, and the circulation of his internal energy was noticeably slower than when he was in the capital.

The communicator's signal was getting weaker and weaker.

After flying for about two hundred kilometers, the earth dragon slowed down.

It's not that I'm tired.

It is hesitating.

The dragon's head swayed left and right twice, and a low buzzing sound came from its throat.

Lin Feng had only heard this sound once before, in the core area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains; it was the earth dragon's instinctive reaction to the dragon vein.

There's something underground ahead.

Lin Feng's mental energy probed downwards.

About 300 meters down through the weathered rock layer and the scree belt, there is a pulsating energy.

The frequency is very slow, about once every four or five seconds.

It's like something breathing deep underground.

Lin Feng took out the jade tablet from his storage ring and checked the coordinates again.

Arrived.

"fall."

The earth dragon folded its wings and swooped down, its four claws stomping on the wasteland ground, crushing a layer of weathered rock.

Lin Feng jumped off the dragon's back and looked around.

There are no landmark buildings within a radius of several kilometers; it is just a flat wasteland.

The coordinates on the jade plaque point to a position 30 meters north of the feet.

Lin Feng walked over.

The weathered rock underfoot was no different from anywhere else.

It feels hard underfoot, and the surface is covered with a layer of fine sand.

The mental energy penetrates downwards.

At a depth of thirty meters, the energy pulsations became even more pronounced.

But no traces were visible on the surface.

Lin Feng raised his foot and stomped down.

Qi and blood flowed into the soles of the feet, and the power of the second stage of Martial Saint was unleashed at full force.

boom!

The weathered rock within a ten-meter radius of his feet was completely shattered, and fragments of rock flew everywhere.

The stone slab below is now exposed.

The surface is engraved with dense array patterns.

The patterns have been filled with sand and are not visible unless you look closely.

Lin Feng squatted down and used his hands to remove some of the sand from the array patterns.

The array patterns are spiral-shaped, converging from the outer edge towards the center.

A fist-sized groove is embedded in the center.

Its shape is exactly the same as the bottom of the jade pendant.

Lin Feng pressed the jade pendant into the slot.

no response.

He tried again, pressing down a little.

Still no response.

The jade plaque remained perfectly still in the groove, and the patterns on it did not gleam.

Lin Feng took out the military's permit and read through the instructions.

"Secret Realm Entrance Activation Method: Unlocked through both Qi and Blood Infusion and Spiritual Power. Requires a cultivation level of Martial Saint or higher to trigger."

He took the license back.

With his left hand pressed on the jade tablet, blood and qi surged from his palm and flowed into the array patterns along the jade tablet.

At the same time, spiritual energy was pushed out from between the eyebrows and seeped into the patterns of the array.

hum!

The array patterns lit up.

A dark golden light emanated from the outer spiral patterns, spiraling towards the center. Each time a circle lit up, the ground trembled.

The whole process lasted half a minute.

When the innermost array pattern lit up, the stone slab under our feet began to move.

The stone slab sank two meters, revealing a stone door.

The stone gate is three meters high and two meters wide.

The door frame is engraved with the same patterns as the ground, but the door panel itself is smooth.

The material doesn't resemble stone; it's more like some kind of metal, with a faint, dark sheen on its surface.

A crack runs from top to bottom through the middle of the stone gate.

The seam is getting wider and wider.

The door opened.

Inside is a stone staircase leading downwards.

It was pitch black and couldn't be seen from the bottom.

But something was gushing out of it.

An air with an indescribable odor.

Lin Feng took a sip.

He was familiar with this smell.

This is the taste of blood after a large amount of blood has oxidized.

But the smell is too strong.

The earth dragon took two steps back.

Lin Feng glanced back at it.

The stone gate is only two meters wide and three meters high.

The earth dragon's size couldn't fit inside.

"Stay outside and don't wander off. Shout if anything gets close."

The earth dragon's head nodded.

Lin Feng glanced at the sky again.

The eagle circled high in the sky.

"Get down a bit, and guard this entrance."

The griffin folded its wings and dropped to about ten meters in altitude.

Everything is arranged.

Lin Feng turned around and faced the stone gate.

The gold-plated spear is unusable; the cracks on the shaft haven't been repaired yet.

He took out the remaining twenty-four Starfall Nine Tribulation Blades from his storage ring and hid them in two sets in his sleeves.

The indestructible golden body circulates, and golden patterns float on the surface of the skin.

Step through the stone gate.

As I stepped onto the first stone step, the stone door behind me began to close.

Lin Feng did not turn around.

I had considered this possibility before I came in.

It's normal for the entrance to close after entering an S-rank unexplored secret realm.

The military's explanatory documents did not mention this, probably because they themselves had never been inside and had no data.

The sound of the stone door closing echoed behind us for three seconds, then disappeared.

The light disappeared.

The passageway was completely dark.

But Lin Feng's Eye of Ten Thousand Beasts doesn't need light.

The vertical pupil lit up in the left eye, and everything in the darkness became clear.

The stone steps are blue-green, and each step is exactly the same height and width, cut very neatly.

The walls on both sides were also engraved with array patterns, but these array patterns had been extinguished, and there was no spiritual energy left.

The passageway is inclined at an angle of about thirty degrees and goes all the way down.

Lin Feng walked down.

I counted, and I climbed more than four hundred steps.

A rough estimate suggests that the vertical depth has exceeded one hundred meters.

The strange smell in the air grew stronger.

At the 450th step, the width of the passage suddenly widened.

It went from two meters to ten meters.

The stone steps disappeared, leaving behind a flat area.

Lin Feng paused for a moment after his feet touched the ground.

The mental energy pushes forward.

I pushed it for fifty meters without hitting the wall.

They pushed it for a hundred meters and still hadn't hit the wall.

When we pushed it to 200 meters, we encountered something.

The feedback from his mental energy told him that there were densely packed bones on the ground two hundred meters ahead.

Some are human, some are animal.

The size difference is huge.

The smallest is no more than one meter, the largest...

His mental energy traced the outline of the bone.

One of its ribs is over twenty meters long.

What kind of beast can grow so big?

Lin Feng walked forward.

After walking fifty steps, I stepped on something hard.

Looking down, I saw a broken sword.

Only half of the sword remained, and the metal at the break point had oxidized to a dark brown color.

However, the inscription engraved on the hilt of the sword is still faintly discernible.

Ancient seal script.

Lin Feng recognizes a few characters.

"Yongzhen".

The words that followed were rusted and illegible.

He ignored the broken sword and continued forward.

More and more debris is on the ground.

Broken swords, shattered armor, bones, and teeth were mixed together and laid out in a layer.

It creaks and groans when you walk on it.

This place has been the site of a war.

A long time ago.

They were beaten badly.

After walking about 200 meters, the pile of giant bones came into view.

Lin Feng looked up.

The Eye of Ten Thousand Beasts' gaze swept upwards along the contours of the skeleton.

A massive skull was half-buried in rubble, its lower jawbone detached, and each tooth thicker than Lin Feng's arm.

There are two eye sockets on the top of the skull.

Empty, pitch black.

A mental scan of the skull revealed a faint trace of dragon vein energy.

Dragon.

This is the remains of a dragon.

He's been dead for who knows how many years.

Lin Feng bypassed the dragon bone and continued walking in.

There's more behind the keel.

The second body. The third body. The fourth body.

He kept walking and counting.

After walking about 500 meters, I counted eleven dragon skeletons.

They varied in size, but each one was several times larger than his earth dragon.

Besides the dragon bones, the bones of other giant beasts were scattered throughout the area.

He could identify some species from their skeletal structure, but he couldn't recognize most of them.

At the bottom of this secret realm lies the ruins of a battlefield.

A battlefield between dragons and beasts.

The passage continued to extend deeper.

The flat ground disappeared, replaced by an uneven expanse of broken rocks.

There were cracks between the broken rocks, and a dark red glow shone through the depths of the cracks.

The light source is unclear.

Lin Feng squatted down and peered into the crack.

There is liquid flowing about ten meters below the fissure.

A viscous, slowly flowing liquid.

It's not a large area; it looks like just a narrow ditch.

But the temperature was very high, and hot air was rising from the cracks.

He probed the liquid with his mental energy.

The concentration of qi and blood is extremely high.

The concentration of qi and blood in this blood was several times higher than the dragon vein essence blood he extracted from Bai Yong's body.

Lin Feng stood up and looked around.

The area of ​​the breccia zone is approximately several hundred square meters, with crisscrossing fissures.

Dark red liquid was flowing beneath almost every crack.

S-rank unexplored secret realm.

The military did not have prior exploration data.

Now he understands why it's S-rank.

The blood alone from these fissures is of immeasurable value.

If it could be extracted, its benefit to cultivation would be immeasurable.

Ok?

Lin Feng's eyes suddenly focused forward.

At the edge of the scree field, about three hundred meters away, there was a huge shadow.

The shadow is moving.

Slow, rhythmic undulations.

Breathe.

There are living creatures.

Immediately afterwards, a deep roar came from three hundred meters away.
