Wonderland

Chapter 119
It is precisely because of the inability to control weapons that practitioners in the qi refining stage and foundation building stage can only walk with their feet if they want to practice in this snowy field of thousands of miles.

However, even if a cultivator pours mana into his feet, his speed is much faster than that of ordinary martial arts masters, so there is no inconvenience.

Landing in front of Xuelao Pass, Xiao Lin, like most of the practitioners in the refining period, lined up to enter Xuelao Pass. After entering Xuelao Pass, he walked through the streets inside the pass, and soon he came to the Wanli Snow Field entrance.

The entrance to the Wanli Snowfield is a huge bronze gate that is more than ten feet high. At this moment, the bronze gate has been opened, and many practitioners of the Qi refining period filed in from the bronze gate. After entering the snowfield, they quickly disappeared In the vast ice and snow.

Along the way, Xiao Lin saw a lot of practitioners in the Qi refining period walking on the snow field. Most of them were like ordinary warriors, pouring mana into their legs to increase their walking speed, and some of them had practiced The cultivator of the Wind Control Technique casts this basic spell and gently skims over the snow, leaving only a shallow footprint.

Xiao Lin naturally also used his Dzogchen-level Wind Control Technique. With the help of the mundane lightness skill of Flowing Clouds and Light Body Technique, he surpassed most of the practitioners in the qi refining period in terms of speed. They are all more than ten feet long, and there is no trace of the snow under your feet. This is much better than the worldly kung fu of stepping on the snow without a trace.

Numerous cultivators in the qi refining period walked in this icy snowfield, basically in a state of silence. For them, the catacomb trial was undoubtedly a steep gully. No one had the confidence to cross it. , so everyone's heart is undoubtedly very heavy.

The same is true for Xiao Lin, who kept silent all the way and hurried on his way silently. The Catacomb Trial is related to how far he can go on the road of cultivation. He naturally attaches great importance to it and tries every means to improve his combat power, but the other participants Is this not the case for the cultivators of the Catacombs Trial?

Three days later, Xiao Lin came to a small valley. This small valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was only an entrance several miles wide on the south side. The valley was about tens of miles long. There is a huge stone tablet, on which the word [Cave] is written in ancient seal characters.

Other than that, everything is covered in ice and snow, and the entrance to the crypt cannot be seen at all.

When Xiao Lin rushed to the valley, the valley was already densely packed with cultivators. Most of them found a place, sat down cross-legged, and quietly closed their eyes to adjust their breath. Even many cultivators came early, The whole body is covered in ice and snow, it seems that he has entered the cultivation state where the five senses are closed.

The entire valley was shrouded in a chilling atmosphere, so even though at least thousands of practitioners had gathered in this valley, it was silent, and the only sound was the whistling of wind and snow.

Xiao Lin silently found a stone, blew out a stream of magic power from his palm to clean the snow off the stone, then sat cross-legged on it silently, and after taking a modified version of Yunling Pill, Xiao Lin began to practice .

Even though he was in the process of cultivation, Xiao Lin did not close the five senses, he would pause his cultivation every once in a while, and open his eyes to observe. After just half a day, the number of monks in the valley increased a lot. It made Xiao Lin's heart feel more and more heavy.

Sensing the few monks around them, they also took a look at Xiao Lin and remained silent, but the coercion of the late stage of Qi refining on them was still unreservedly released. The cultivators in this valley are undoubtedly I came to participate in the Catacombs Trial. Among these cultivators, most of them are in the late stage of Qi refining, but there are also quite a few cultivators who are in the Dzogchen realm during the Qi refining period. What makes Xiao Lin quite speechless is that There are also quite a few mid-stage qi refining practitioners.

The Catacombs Trial is the most dangerous trial in the Tianlu cultivation world, with a death rate as high as [-]%. Therefore, every time the Catacombs are opened, most of the people who enter it are those who are in the late stage of Qi Refining and the realm of Qi Refining Dzogchen. Because even if the cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi refining enter the burrow, they are mostly cannon fodder, and the probability of survival is extremely low.

But after thinking about it, Xiao Lin also figured out the reason for this. After all, the Catacomb Trials only start once every 30 years. The probability before the age of 40 is not very high. Even many cultivators encountered the opening of the crypt when they were in their teens, and they will be over 40 years old when it is opened next time.

Those cultivators who happen to be in the golden age of 20 to 30 years old, and their cultivation is still in the late stage of Qi refining or Dzogchen are undoubtedly lucky. If they can pick purple spirit flowers in the cave, they will undoubtedly be able to build their own foundations. hopes have grown.

However, when the crypt was opened, cultivators who had not reached the late stage of Qi refining were in a very embarrassing situation. Go in, not to mention that the probability of picking purple spirit flowers is extremely low, even if they can come out alive. It's a very lucky thing. Don't go in. When the crypt opens next time, you must have passed the best age for cultivation.

Under this kind of contradiction, some cultivators with firm minds will also choose to participate in the catacomb trial and try their luck. If they pick the purple spirit flower and walk out of the burrow alive, it can be said that they will reach the sky in one step, and they will be able to join the five It is not impossible for a large sect to get a foundation-building pill, so as to step into the foundation-building period.

Just as Xiao Lin sighed secretly and was about to continue his cultivation, a huge escaping light with a length of more than ten feet flew from the sky. The escaping light was light red. As soon as it appeared outside the mountain, it came to the sky above the valley almost in the blink of an eye. , the light dissipated, revealing a middle-aged monk about 30 years old. The middle-aged monk has fair skin, good facial features, and a somewhat delicate appearance. At first glance, he does not look like a cultivator, but more like an advanced Scholars rushing to take the exam in Beijing.

But in the silent valley, there was a commotion the moment the middle-aged monk appeared. The middle-aged monk stood in the mid-air of tens of feet, as if he had merged with this space, despite the howling wind and snow. It is standing still.

"A cultivator at the Golden Core Realm?" Xiao Lin's expression changed. Even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage couldn't fly with an imperial weapon in this snowfield. use.

You must know that most of the magical tools used by cultivators are made of materials from monsters, mixed with some metals, and refined. They are cultivators below the Golden Core Realm, and they are basically unable to defend themselves in this snowy field of thousands of miles.

But Jindan Realm cultivators are different. They have already condensed the magic weapon in their bodies, and with the help of the magic power in the dantian to nourish it day by day, the magic weapon has already merged with themselves, and the energy of the five elements is gradually dissipating. However, the characteristics of the forbidden five-element weapon in the thousands of miles of snowfield are not applicable to Jindan realm practitioners.

The middle-aged monk glanced coldly at the many practitioners of the Qi refining period in the valley, and then looked away without any expression on his face. Then, under the surprised gazes of everyone, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Many qi refining period cultivators looked enviously at the middle-aged cultivator in the void, Jindan Patriarch level cultivators, for qi refining period cultivators, there is no doubt that they existed in legends.

In normal times, it is very common for some people to never see a cultivator at the level of Jindan Patriarch even after they have practiced for a lifetime. , a longer retreat may be the whole life of an ordinary qi refining period cultivator.

The huge spiritual pressure of the golden core realm cultivator emanating from the middle-aged monk made Xiao Lin, who was hundreds of feet away, feel horrified. Xiao Lin's face was full of envy besides palpitations. The former is already a legendary existence in the Tianlu Mountains.

The longevity of more than 500 years allows them to see all the vicissitudes of the world. In contrast, they have become completely mortals. If you let go of your own breath completely, I am afraid that the cultivators in this valley will probably not be able to bear it.

"The ancestors of Jindan from the five major sects have already arrived. It seems that the burrow will be opened soon."

"Golden Core Patriarch, my God, it would be great if I could cultivate to this level." A bearded man in his 30s looked at the middle-aged cultivator in the air and said enviously.

"You?" A sneer came from next to him, and a muscular man who looked 27 or [-] years old said, "If you want to enter the Golden Core Realm, you must first come out of the burrow alive."

Hearing this, the bearded man just touched his nose and smiled, but he didn't refute. Perhaps in his heart, he didn't think that he would be able to step into the Golden Core Realm one day.

After a brief commotion, the entire valley fell into silence again, but most of the cultivators lost their minds on cultivation and kept silent. Many people looked at the middle-aged monks in the air from time to time, showing envy color.

Another hour later, from outside the valley, there was another whistling sound of light tearing through the air. Two thick light beams flew from outside the sky, and they came to the sky above the valley in between breaths. The middle-aged monk also opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face.

"Fairy Liu, I didn't expect you to be the one who presided over the opening of the crypt this time. Why, Fellow Daoist Ling didn't come?"

The light dissipated, revealing two figures, one is a woman in her 20s, charming, wearing a pink robe, very conspicuous in this snow-white valley, with golden scale-like ornaments hanging all over her head , almost covering the whole head of black hair, and on the side of the golden scale jewelry, there is also a jade diamond inserted obliquely, shining with a faint blue light.

And beside him, stood an old man of five or sixty years old. The old man was full of white hair, but his face was like that of a newborn baby. His figure was extremely strange. At first glance, he was only four feet long. With white hair, he might be mistaken for a ten-year-old child.

Hearing what the middle-aged monk said, the pink-robed woman showed a chill on her face, and said indifferently: "It turns out to be Shangguan Taoist friend of Bailianmen."
