Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 172 The Underground Palace
In this sandy soil, there is obviously a hole in the sky.

Xu Chunniang looked towards the entrance of the cave with a look of hesitation.

There is such a place in the depths of the yellow sand desert, no matter how you look at it, there is something wrong.

Especially the black lines on the sand made this place even more mysterious.

Xu Chunniang didn't know much about Ozawa. Before she came, she only heard some common sense things from Xia Changge, who was also an outer disciple.

I don't know much about this yellow sand desert, so I can't judge what is down here.I don't know if it is a natural pothole or an artificial hole built the day after tomorrow.

But since it appeared under the quicksand, there must be something extraordinary.

Xu Chunniang quickly made a decision, and stabbed several times with the white gun, widening the opening a lot, then picked up a stone and threw it in.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

It seems that the pothole is not too deep, and the stone fell to the ground soon, followed by several echoes.

After Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, she jumped into the pothole.

This time I came to Ozawa to look for opportunities, and now that I have discovered something extraordinary, I can't miss it.

She jumped into the pit, raised her eyes and looked around, unable to hide her shock.

This is not a natural pothole, let alone a man-made hole. It is exquisitely shaped and made of exquisite materials, but it looks like a palace.

There was a piece of damage in a corner above the palace, it was the opening that Xu Chunniang had just opened.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in her heart, and looked at the walls on all sides, the black lines that were the same as those on the soil clods.

Just now the black lines on the stone were still indistinct, but now that Xu Chunniang went deep into the palace, these black lines covered the walls, making it impossible to ignore.

After staring at these lines for a long time, she felt in a trance, she immediately retracted her eyes, and silently recited the mantra of clearing the heart, and only then did she regain the clarity of the Lingtai.

These black lines are definitely weird, like some kind of witchcraft.

Xu Chunniang realized that there might be some unknown secrets hidden in this underground palace, and unknown dangers awaited ahead.

She looked up at the entrance, and there was still time to withdraw.

The Ozawa Realm has been open for so many years, and it has never been heard that there is an underground palace in the Yellow Sand Desert.

It's just that Xu Chunniang was a little unwilling to leave like this.

This palace is so extraordinary, maybe there are some amazing spiritual creatures?

"This Ozawa Realm is the secret realm of the Qi training period. The beasts in the foundation building period have been cleared by the foundation building masters, but this place is too deep, there may be some unknown dangers, but dangers and opportunities always go hand in hand.”

She murmured to herself, her eyes were stained with determination, and she walked along the long corridor towards the depths of the palace.

Xu Chunniang didn't go far, when she suddenly heard a "click" sound from a distance, followed by heavy footsteps, and something was walking in this direction.

She was secretly vigilant, looking towards the direction of the sound, and her pupils narrowed slightly after she saw the object clearly.

It looked very much like a tall person, but the heavy body and clumsy steps showed that it was not a person at all.

Xu Chunniang thought of the "silver corpse" she had encountered in the mortal world before, and the thing in front of her seemed to have similarities.

It's just that its cultivation base is only the ninth level of Qi training, and its cultivation base is not as good as that of the silver corpse in the foundation establishment period.

She didn't wait any longer, the white spear was like a swimming dragon, and went towards the thing, hit its head hard, and cut off half of it.

However, he saw that the thing lost half of its head, and after shaking slightly, it rushed towards this side.

Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, recalled the white spear with her spiritual power, and threw it hard again, destroying the remaining half of the thing's head.

After losing its head, the humanoid figure only paused for a moment, and its gait remained steady.

Seeing that the thing could act like this without a head, Xu Chunniang finally understood that this was not something like a silver corpse at all, but a puppet!
Only a puppet can retain its fighting instinct after losing its head, and will not stop fighting until its central organs are completely destroyed.

Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, first the black lines that were suspected of witchcraft, and then the extremely rare puppet art in the cultivation world, what secrets are hidden in this underground palace?
Seeing that the puppet had already arrived in front of her, she put away her white spear, sacrificed the blue-patterned cauldron and smashed it hard at the man.

The Qingwen cauldron weighed a thousand catties. Even though the puppet of the ninth level of Qi training was strong, it was thrown upside down on the spot, with a huge hole in its chest.

If the monk suffered such a serious injury, his life might be in danger.

But the puppet is an inanimate thing. After the first heavy injury, it stood up again not long after, and came towards Xu Chunniang.

Unless the central organ of the puppet can be found and completely destroyed, it will keep attacking until it completely loses its ability to fight.

But where the central organ of a puppet is, only the puppet master who made the puppet knows.

That's the scary thing about puppets.

Fortunately, Xu Chunniang is already at the ninth level of Qi training, and has the best spiritual weapon in hand, so it is no problem to deal with puppets of the same level.

The Qing Wen Ding hit the puppet again, and after successfully smashing his last leg bone, the puppet finally lost its ability to move, lying on the ground unable to move.

Xu Chunniang stepped forward and looked at the torn puppet.

The whole body of this puppet is black, and it is not known what material it is made of.

The originally smooth body surface became uneven due to the impact of the Qingwen tripod.

After thinking about it, she put away the destroyed puppet.

Puppets are rare to see, maybe they will be useful in the future.

After solving this puppet, Xu Chunniang continued on her way, and soon encountered some other puppets.

Without exception, these puppets are all nine levels of Qi training, and they don't look much different from the first one.

As Xu Chunniang walked forward, she kept destroying and collecting the puppets she encountered.

This underground palace was bigger than she had imagined, and the roads were even more intricate, as if it would never end.

She stopped suddenly and looked at the wall beside her.

In addition to the black lines on this wall, there is also a painting of a snake with four wings on its back. She had only seen this painting not long ago.

Unexpectedly, after walking for a long time, I saw the same painting again.

Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, realizing that she had unknowingly fallen into a maze.

She took out the Delusion Bead and poured spiritual energy into it, and suddenly a mysterious force emerged from it, covering both eyes.

Maybe it's because the power to break the delusion is not enough, the surroundings seem to be shrouded in mist, and it's hard to see clearly.

She continued to input spiritual energy into the Powan Pearl, and mysterious powers were continuously generated from it.

She could see more clearly, but this level was not enough.

Xu Chunniang gritted her teeth and poured a large amount of spiritual energy into the Powang Pearl.

With a few "clicks", cracks appeared in the broken pearl from the inside to the outside.

With the power to destroy delusion, she finally saw the truth in front of her eyes and found a secret door.

It turned out that she had been going around in circles before and couldn't find the right way at all.

After she saw clearly the location of the secret door, the Pohuangzhu finally couldn't hold it, and it was completely shattered into powder, unable to be used.

Xu Chunniang took out the white gun and threw it towards the secret door she found. After breaking it open, there was a downward staircase inside, and she didn't know where it led.

She headed towards the hidden door, and when she was about to climb down the stairs, she turned her head and looked at the pattern on the wall.
