However, the size of the secret realm does not represent the quality of the things hidden inside.
He only knew that the vengeful spirit of the Pixiu should be inside, but he didn't know what else was inside.
The Pixiu statue has been in Qi Honglian's hands for many years, but because she doesn't understand the Cheng family mystery lock, she doesn't know the secret inside the statue.
But she knew that such strange changes would occur under the moonlight.
However, Zhao Kangping did not learn the truth from her, but discovered it on his own. This way, she had no way to control him.
"Master, I'll go in and explore the way first." Luo Xueqing was very adventurous and was ready to be a pioneer.
"Okay, be careful." Zhao Kangping nodded.
Then Luo Xueqing's figure sank into the vortex light gate.
Zhao Kangping wanted to follow, but was stopped by a jade hand.
Qi Honglian said resentfully, "You, why don't you ask me about this Pixiu statue? If you ask again, I'll tell you."
It turns out I'm still struggling with this little thing.
Now that he knew it himself, there was no need to ask her again. She was so unwilling that she lost her composure.
"Then Aunt Lian, tell me."
"You...you already know and yet you ask."
"So? Actually, I can figure it out myself."
"You bully me. Ugh!"
The more Qi Honglian thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the tears that had just stopped welling up again.
This little thief was just trying to piss her off on purpose. As a man, what's wrong with being submissive to a girl? Why did he have to go against her?
"I suddenly remembered. Aunt Lian should guard the door. The two of us, master and disciple, can handle it from inside."
"Ah, why? I want to go in and take a look too."
"Things are happening outside. You see, after this small secret realm was opened, a trace of its aura was leaked. Maybe there are other cultivators nearby who have discovered it and come to disrupt the situation. What should we do?"
"You have a point, but..."
"It's nothing to worry about. If I find any treasures inside after I go in, the majority of the money can be shared with the Xianyun Sect. If someone else goes in, the situation will be hard to predict. So Aunt Lian should stay at the door to prevent other possible competitors."
Qi Honglian had no way to refute what he said and had to agree reluctantly.
"The same goes for you, just stay here and follow Sect Master Qi." Zhao Kangping said to Ji Miaoyan.
The Sixth Princess had originally wanted to go in and get some treasures, but even Qi Honglian was stopped by him. What else could she say? She could only blame the other party for being stronger than her.
……
This little secret place is a dilapidated ruin.
Judging from its size, it should be an abandoned sect.
Why did he know that this was a sect? Of course, it was because when he was walking up the mountain road, he saw three large characters carved in a flamboyant style on a high peak.
Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
When he saw these three words, his pupils dilated.
Because he knew this sect.
It was a sect that specialized in the art of taming beasts and was once very prosperous.
But this sect had long been destroyed, and they were a sect in the Southern Region.
How come a mountain that is suspected to be the home of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was discovered in a small secret place in the Eastern Region?
Could it be that this place is also an illusion?
Just as he was beginning to have doubts, he heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
Needless to say, it must be Xueqing over there.
When he got there, he saw his beloved disciple charging into a sea of blood and corpses, holding a sword.
The ones besieging her were a group of zombies, and they were not ordinary zombies.
Among them were humans and beasts. Most of the humanoids wore dark green Taoist robes, which seemed to be the standard uniform of a certain sect.
The variety of zombie beasts was even more diverse, including lion-tiger monsters, three-headed pythons, and giant skeletal birds flying in the sky. The flesh and blood of these zombie beasts had mostly rotted away, but they had not completely turned to bones. Some rotten flesh still hung on the bones, making them look particularly terrifying.
None of these half-dead ghosts has a strength greater than that of a Golden Core, but there are too many of them, and it seems that they can never be killed.
Luo Xueqing originally wanted to try out the newly learned sword moves, but each enemy was killed one by one with one sword, and she couldn't test the power of the sword moves.
She quickly lost her patience, and then she raised her sword and swept it across. The sword light was like a waterfall of starlight falling from the sky, the sword light falling like rain, and like gorgeous fireworks.
With just one sword, no matter how many demons and monsters there are, they will all be shattered in the sword light as deep as the sea.
The remains of houses in the ruins were also affected and crushed into dust.
A large section of the mountain where the Wanshou Sect was located was also cut off.
However, after the sword energy penetrated the ground, it seemed to encounter some obstruction and could not penetrate.
The foundations of those buildings were exposed under the broken soil layer, and there were actually some formation protections inside.
However, these formations had fallen into disrepair over the years, and while they had absorbed most of the power of the sword moves, they had also completely ceased to function. They must have exhausted their last bit of energy and completely lost their effectiveness.
"Xueqing."
Zhao Kangping rushed over from a distance. He appeared beside the female disciple and asked again, "Have you seen a huge Pixiu ghost?"
"The vengeful spirit of Pixiu?" Luo Xueqing looked confused.
It seems that he didn't see it.
Zhao Kangping did not explain it to her first. He looked at the foundation of the ruins below.
It turns out there is an underground passage below, and maybe there is a complex maze waiting for them to explore.
But Zhao Kangping felt that his time was precious and he didn't want to waste it on looking for the way.
Maybe the vengeful spirit of the Pixiu is hiding underground.
The normal process should be that the person who accidentally discovered this place entered the underground maze below, then killed the monsters along the way, and finally faced the Pixiu boss.
But Zhao Kangping didn't think it was necessary to go through so much trouble.
He stretched out a huge spiritual hand and grabbed the ruins directly, picked up large pieces of earth and rocks, and directly lifted the roof of the maze.
Crash.
With the sound of rocks being crushed, a large amount of stones and bricks were thrown far away.
Zhao Kangping also remembered more information about the Wanshou Sect.
When he was young, he loved reading books. He not only read manuals on cultivation techniques, but also read miscellaneous books about the history of the world of immortal cultivation or various gossips.
He had seen it in an ancient book.
The Myriad Beasts Sect, which practices beast taming, was once a glorious sect and was considered a household name in the Southern Territory as a first-class sect.
They excel at commanding beasts in battle and possess extensive experience in taming, breeding, and training them. The "Beast Taming Sutra," compiled by the ancestors of the Myriad Beast Sect, is said to be the pinnacle of beast taming. It is not only a manual of secret techniques related to beast taming, but also encompasses all the specialized knowledge related to beast taming, from entry-level to the pinnacle of mastery.
I heard that even a fragment of the Beast Taming Scripture could fetch a sky-high price among those beast taming monks, not to mention the complete version which had long been lost.
Nowadays, the Liaoyu Palace in the Ziyang Holy Land also has the tradition of taming beasts. I heard that the related techniques there were also created by the ancestors through studying the incomplete copies of the "Beast Taming Sutra".
Let’s talk about the Wanshou Sect itself. This sect has existed for about 12,000 years, which is not a short time.
But its demise left many mysteries.
That ancient book did not give a detailed account of the cause and effect of the Wanshou Sect's demise, but only mentioned that they had been invaded by foreign enemies.
As for who this foreign enemy was and the process of the battle between the two sides, there is no description at all.
Finally, it was mentioned that a huge explosion seemed to have occurred in the Wanshou Sect, and the mountains where the entire sect was located were razed to the ground.
……
"How dare you, you daring thief, break into my Myriad Beast Sect!"
As the ruins were peeled away, revealing the maze beneath, a dark blue spirit came into view.
There is a hall area in the maze that is as big as eight football fields. The Pixiu ghost is grinning, and its huge body makes it look majestic.
It spoke in human language, its voice was like thunder, and it carried an aura of oppression as if it were a ferocious beast from ancient times.
The pale blue, transparent beast was approximately ten feet long, including its tail, and stood over six feet tall at the shoulders, with its head about seven feet off the ground. Its eyes, ablaze with blue will-o'-the-wisp, radiated a fierce light.
Even though Zhao Kangping had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, he was still slightly affected by that kind of pressure.
Although only a small impact.
When the other party yelled at the top of his lungs, Zhao Kangping's heart was indeed shaken.
However, the corners of his mouth soon curled up, because he realized that this Pixiu ghost was only at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he was afraid that even Luo Xueqing could deal with it.
Apart from the fact that it roars a little louder and its voice carries the pressure of an ancient beast, its own combat power is not very high.
Perhaps it possessed more power than this in life, but time is the most formidable weapon in the world, and nothing can withstand the wear and tear of time. After a long slumber, its spirit has begun to show signs of disintegration.
Perhaps it is this world that protects it.
If it is placed outside and exposed to the sun, it will soon be destroyed.
That’s right, there is no sun in this little secret place, only eternal darkness.
But the spiritual energy here is very thin and is not suitable for cultivation at all.
But the yin energy here is very heavy, which is very suitable for the breeding of ghosts.
The vengeful spirit of the Pixiu in the original novel is also active at night and disappears during the day. It must have hidden in some shelter.
He remembered the zombies and zombie beasts that he saw Xue Qing killing when he just came in.
Then he had a bold guess that this place might be related to the disappeared Wanshou Sect, or even the Wanshou Sect that was destroyed that year.
For some reason, the Wanshou Sect, which was supposed to be razed to the ground, was actually moved to the Eastern Region as a whole.
This wasn't just a fantasy; some high-ranking cultivators and masters did possess such means. However, moving an entire sect to such a great distance would incur a significant cost.
But Zhao Kangping was not interested in these. He was just a greedy adventurer and came here naturally to look for treasure.
Well, this Pixiu ghost was also part of the treasure. Killing it would grant a permanent wealth buff. So he had no intention of engaging in verbal battle with the Pixiu.
So, a wild thunder finger was fired directly at his face.
boom!
There was a loud thunder and a flash of blazing white lightning.
The vengeful spirit of Pixiu is a soul body, also belonging to the category of ghosts and evil spirits, and is just restrained by thunder and lightning.
The two monks were not scared by it at all, but it was frightened to death by the thunder.
The lightning fell too fast and it had no time to dodge.
"Wait, spare my life, I am actually a human, please let me go..." The Pixiu ghost that looks ferocious is actually a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Before it could finish its words, lightning struck it.
The lightning blasted the huge beast into pieces, and in the blink of an eye it turned into starlight and disappeared.
"Hey, that's not right. How could it be so vulnerable?" Zhao Kangping instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Then after careful consideration, I realized that I didn't seem to have gained any wealth buff.
He remembered clearly that there was a description in the book after Nangong Yue killed the vengeful spirit of the Pi Xiu.
After the huge beast fell, there was a deep sense of unwillingness in its eyes. At the end of its life, it struggled to raise its head and let out a roar.
But before it could open its mouth, its body began to disintegrate and turned into bright starlight.
Nangong Yue leaned tiredly on the ground with her sword, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down from her forehead, along her fair cheeks with a little blush, and finally fell from her pointed chin.
"Did we finally win?" Her spiritual power was almost exhausted and hallucinations began to appear in her eyes.
She saw a golden light blooming before her, and out of that light emerged a golden beast. It had a dragon-like head and a single horn, a tiger-like body, short wings on its shoulders, and a long, slender dragon tail as it walked towards the woman.
Nangong Yue drew her sword, her hands trembling, she no longer had the strength to fight.
But what awaited her was not a fierce battle.
