Chapter 22: Test Place, Sudden Change
Chapter 22: Test Place, Sudden Change
It is not his turn to get the spiritual stone mine because the second true disciple Lu Yibin is too powerful and has many second-level magical weapons.
What’s more important is that his escape speed is not slower than mine. If he really wants to fight me, it will be difficult for me to escape.
Wei Zhong understood that it was not because he was not diligent enough in practicing the Cloud-Leaping Technique, but because its original level was too low, and it was only a first-level technique.
According to Wei Zhong's observation, the ghost-like footwork that Lu Yibin displayed was at least a second-level escape technique.
In terms of basic strength, he is much better than Wei Zhong, but his proficiency is not as good as Wei Zhong's Cloud-Leaping Technique, so they are on par.
'Oh, forget it. Don't be greedy, the risk is too great. I am a calm person by nature, and I cannot do such a risky thing.
If they really took the risk and successfully robbed the spirit stone mine of Qingmu Sect, once the secret realm was over, I am afraid that all the independent cultivators would be forcibly detained by Qingmu Sect. Wei Zhong did not forget that the passage to and from the "Qingchuan Secret Realm" was inside the mountain gate of Qingmu Sect.
At that time, Wei Zhongcai really couldn't escape.'
After calming down, Wei Zhong began to search among the palace complex.
This palace is located on a spiritual stone mine. Both sides of it are at the same level as immortal residences, so there must be some good things there.
But after searching around, Wei Zhong finally felt that his idea was a bit too optimistic. Not to mention spiritual objects, even the spiritual materials on the pavilions and towers had been completely looted.
"Relationships are not only eroded by time, but also by human calamity. The guys from the Qingmu Sect are too cruel. They have torn down the caves of our predecessors."
But on second thought, instead of looking for some uncertain elixirs in the outside world, it would be better to demolish the house here. After all, it is a first-level spiritual object, and at least this trip to the secret realm will not be completely fruitless.
Generation after generation, this immortal residence has been plagued by disasters.
As soon as Wei Zhong went on a treasure hunt, he accused Qingmu Zong of disrespecting his ancestors.
There was no gain in the periphery, so Wei Zhong walked towards the tall tower in the center.
I was worried that Lu Yibin would make a surprise attack, so I chose to wander around.
But this moment also confirmed that it would not catch up.
Walking up to the square in front of the tower, I found that the floor tiles under my feet had been lifted up and were lying in a mess in front of the tower.
'That's really outrageous.'
As we approached the tower, we discovered that the plaque on the tower was broken, with half of it missing, and the remaining half was also tattered and we couldn't make out the words clearly.
Walking in from the ruined central gate, there is a spacious hall. The interior of the circular hall is covered with countless murals.
It depicts both landscapes and human figures; it contains scenes of immortals as well as worldly life.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, sunrise and sunset, seem to paint all the happenings in the world.
Wei Zhong stepped closer and touched the murals around him. The texture was rough, just ordinary rock, and it was only preserved because it was carved inside this tall tower.
Some of the murals show signs of human damage, which must have been the work of Aoki Mune.
In the center of the hall was an extremely high platform, about several dozen feet high, with the skylight from the dome falling down above it, leaving dots of starlight on the stone platform, which was extremely beautiful.
He was about to fly up to the top of the platform to see what was going on, but when Wei Zhong used the cloud-flying technique, he found that the technique was extremely weak and he could only fly about ten feet into the air.
When performing other magic spells, their power will also gradually diminish after reaching an angle of ten feet.
He took out his magic sword and planned to fly with it, but the height was also ten feet. If he went any higher he would encounter great resistance.
"Is this a ban on flying or magic?"
Wei Zhongyou had heard from people that there were all kinds of strange restrictions in some secret realms, such as the prohibition of flying, the prohibition of fighting, and the isolation of spiritual energy.
I didn't expect to meet you on this trip to this secret place.
There are various reasons for the formation of such restrictions. Some are set up by masters, and some are formed naturally by heaven and earth. If you want to break through the restrictions of the restrictions, you often need to break the balance of the area and make the formation ineffective.
It is difficult to do it with one person's strength, and the consequences of destroying the ban are unknown. Perhaps this is why the Aoki Sect let go of this hall.
So he couldn't fly, so he had to climb? Looking at the platform with dazzling white light above his head, Wei Zhong felt a little bitter.
If I fell from such a height with my physique, I would be seriously injured if not dead.
"Health-preserving Exercises" has the word "nourish" in it after all, so the physical strength cannot be compared with physical cultivation.
Fortunately, no one could attack me from high altitude, otherwise I would be killed on the spot by an enemy.
Wei Zhong did as he said. He took out a rope from his storage bag. It was made of special spiritual herbs and was extremely tough. It could not be cut by any illegal tool.
Wrap the rope around your waist and find a protrusion on the stage to hang yourself on.
Going up step by step, the rope hanging on the high platform more than ten feet high suddenly broke.
Wei Zhong wiped it off with his hand and nothing was damaged.
"Well, even this kind of external force cannot be used."
Wei Zhong had no choice but to give up the rope and climb up with his hands and feet.
The higher you go, the greater the pressure on your body, as if you are carrying something heavy on your back, and the weight increases as you go higher.
When I looked back, there was nothing.
This test was too torturous. Sweat dripped down Wei Zhong's forehead. It was the first time he felt so tired since he traveled through time.
Immortals have their own magic, why would they need to use such brute force?
Unfortunately, magic power is forbidden here, which makes Wei Zhong suffer a lot.
When he reached a height of three meters, Wei Zhong discovered a depression with a stone sword rack inside. It seemed that there had been some precious sword placed there before, but it had been taken away long ago.
The stand was quite stable, as if it was carved out of the stone platform. Wei Zhong simply held the sword stand with one hand and rested for a while.
Looking up to a higher place, Wei Zhong suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that all the treasures there had been taken away?
Moving forward again, after the sixth meter, there was another depression, which was also empty.
The ninth zhang, the twelfth zhang...
It is like this all the way up to the top which is thirty-six feet high.
Wei Zhong couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to curse, but his physical exhaustion made it difficult for him to speak.
I could only roar in my heart: "Qingmu Zong, it's none of my business!"
He angrily slapped the physical platform in front of him, but his limp arms didn't allow him to exert much strength.
"How come you don't know how to replenish the rewards in this test place?"
Wei Zhong was so depressed that he almost cried.
Finally, he put on a wry smile, and finally understood why no disciples of the Qingmu Sect came to this palace.
As for the independent cultivators, I'm afraid they will be killed by Lu Yibin as soon as they get close to the spiritual vein below.
"Forget it, the opportunity is not with me, so I'd better leave now. It's better to find some spiritual medicine to prepare for the foundation building."
Just as Wei Zhong was about to leave, something in his mind seemed to emit a white light, and the sunlight shining from the tower also changed.
In an instant, the tower was brightly lit, and the murals around it seemed to float slightly under the light.
"what happened?"
Wei Zhongshang didn't understand what was happening as his body left the platform and floated in the air.
The opportunity is coming!!!
