Purgatory

Chapter 6 Seven Great Families
In front of the scattered rocks, the shrill wind whistling like a ghost crying makes people shudder.

Pang Jian in the corner remained silent, staring blankly at the pile of stones, waiting for the newcomer to figure out the predicament in front of him.

"Old Han, can you break the formation?"

Zhou Qingchen yelled and got off the one-horned rhinoceros, came to the front of the stone pile, and looked around curiously.

There was no crowd blocking the way, and he saw Liu Qi's body lying on his back inside the stone pile at a glance, and asked in surprise, "Are any of you dead?"

Ning Yuanshan, who hadn't mentioned this before, explained with some embarrassment: "He is greedy for the artifacts left by the blood moon practitioners. We didn't know that the pile of rocks turned into a strange array, so..."

Zhou Qingchen smiled brightly, expressing his understanding: "If we had come here instead, if Lao Han hadn't been here, the people below would probably not be able to bear seeing that the Blood Moon cultivator had died and there were artifacts left behind."

After speaking, he looked at the bloated Han Duping again.

Han Duping, who was observing around the stone pile, also leaned over at this time, and said with a relaxed expression: "It should be no problem to break the formation, but it will take some time. When the formation is broken, the strong cold aura gathered in it will dissipate." , the weak beast will dissipate by itself."

"Oh, right."

After thinking for a while, he went to ask Ning Yuanshan and Ning Yao to know the specific form of those "beast spirits".

Ning Yuanshan explained carefully, saying that they were some common wild beasts in the mountains, then pointed to Pang Jian not far away, and said: "He is a native hunter of the Cenji Mountains, and he is very familiar with the wild beasts that haunt here, and he knows the general level of power of the wild beasts."

"Little brother, what kind of beasts have you seen near the canyon before? How about their strength and ferocity?" Han Duping looked very polite and asked Pang Jian with a smile.

Pang Jian briefly described the common wild boars around the canyon, groups of white wolves, pythons and other wild animals.

Han Duping nodded slightly while listening, and said with confidence: "They are all ordinary beasts, not fierce beasts or spirit beasts. The sha they turn into after death should be easy to deal with, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

Wild beasts, ferocious beasts, spirit beasts.

Pang Jian was stunned for a moment. He only knew that there were wild beasts in the mountains, but he had never heard of fierce beasts or spirit beasts.

As if seeing his doubts, the chubby Han Duping casually revealed the difference between the three.

"We are in the fourth world, and there are many places where there is aura of heaven and earth."

"However, in the world under our feet, the aura is mixed with a lot of filthy impurities. Some filthy impurities also contain highly toxic and hallucinogenic powers, which are actually very dangerous."

"Human practitioners like us can gather aura to enhance their own strength, and some beasts can also incorporate the aura of heaven and earth into their bodies, thereby transforming themselves."

"After we absorb the spiritual energy, we need to get rid of the dross and impurities that enter the body with the spiritual energy, so as not to harm the body and mind."

"Wild beasts, if they don't know how to remove the filth in the aura, they won't be able to increase their wisdom. Even if they become stronger because of this, they can only be called ferocious beasts. Ferocious beasts are brutal and bloodthirsty, and it is difficult for us to communicate with them."

"The so-called spirit beasts are beasts that can remove the filth and impurities in their bodies just like us. With their own strength, spirit beasts often have extraordinary wisdom, and they can communicate with us normally."

Han Duping explained in detail.

After listening to his explanation, Pang Jian understood that the divine bird hovering over his house should be the kind of spirit beast he mentioned.

"Okay, give me some time, I'm going to break the formation now."

Han Duping signaled everyone to wait patiently.

He moved forward alone again, still did not directly enter the rock pile, first tried to fiddle with smaller rocks nearby, and figured out the composition of the array.

While he was busy, Zhou Qingchen also talked with Ning Yuanshan and Ning Yao, talking about the great change in the upper realm.

The newcomer Zhou Qingchen deliberately ignored He Ziren, as if the young master of the He family did not exist in front of him at all.

He Ziren, who used to be domineering and arrogant, also behaved calmly in the face of such a No. [-] person, and did not get angry because of his neglect.

"The Zhou family..."

Pang Jian's mind turned, thinking of the seven families of Qi refiners dominating the fourth realm, he knew that the Zhou family ranked second only to the Dong family, and was the most powerful and powerful family in this world.

The Ning family and the He family are ranked behind the Dong family, Zhou family, Shangguan family and Ouyang family, and the Ning family is still in front of the He family.

The He family is only slightly stronger than the bottom Su family.

The rankings of the seven major families in the Fourth Realm are not static. Sometimes with the appearance of superpowers in one family, the ranking of the family will be improved.

But this often only happened to the Shangguan family, Ouyang family, Ning family, He family and Su family in the back.

The Dong family and the Zhou family at the front, it is said that for hundreds of years, their rankings have never changed, and they have always been ranked first and second.

Since Zhou Qingchen came from the Zhou family, he didn't care about He Ziren from the He family, so it's not surprising that He Ziren could hold back his anger.

"Tianfeng's bones were broken, and it was rumored that there was a mysterious inheritance in one of the bones. Most of the remains were scattered in the third and fourth realms, and even many sects in the upper realm I am looking for the divine bone that may have inheritance."

"As for the ones that fell on the Cenji Mountains... From my point of view, it is unlikely that there will be that divine bone."

Zhou Qingchen talked about the secrets of the upper realm.

When Pang Jian heard the words "Tianfeng" and "Divine Bone", he immediately listened attentively and confirmed that the huge dead bones hanging down from the Cenji Mountains from the upper realm were the so-called Tianfeng remains.

"Contains the inherited divine bones?"

He felt that the bone that was crystal clear like white jade after shooting that divine bird might be the divine bone of the Heavenly Phoenix that had been inherited.

Unfortunately, he only saw the image of countless runes whistling like bright diamonds when the divine bone killed the divine bird, and he didn't know where the divine bone went afterwards.

"The Star River Alliance, Blood Moon, and Yinling Temple people who died in the Cenji Mountains either died because of the bones of the gods, or because of the pervasive mist!" Zhou Qingchen said again.

Hearing him mention "Strange Fog", the faces of the Ning family and their Zhou family members, including He Ziren, all turned ugly.

It seems that the "strange fog" gradually spreading towards the north of the Cenji Mountains is the real source of their fear, which is more terrifying than the deaths of the Star River Alliance, Blood Moon, and Yinling Temple.

"Strange fog."

Pang Jian raised his eyebrows, the extreme north of the Cenji Mountains, the area closest to the boundary wall in the legend, was set as a restricted area by his father, and he was expressly prohibited from entering.

After his father disappeared, because he had to take care of his younger sister Pang Lin, he never dared to take too many risks, so he didn't get involved.

He also vaguely knew that the vast majority of practitioners in this world seemed to be full of fear of the "strange fog".

No matter the lower bound or the upper bound.

"It's done!"

When everyone was talking, Han Duping in front of the stone pile in the distance shouted loudly, and immediately heard a "bang", as if he had pushed a huge rock to the ground.

"Hoo! Hoo hoo!"

There is a cold wind trapped in the stone pile, howling out from the gap in the rock, and there is an increasingly sharp and piercing howling sound.

When the gust of wind scattered, it also blew on Pang Jian's body. He suddenly felt a cold and gloomy feeling, and couldn't help shivering.

Also at this time.

The bronze medal under his lapel became hot, and the "Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Jue" that he had concentrated on practicing recently was also quietly running.

The dantian "spiritual pot" he visualized in his mind seemed to gradually turn blue-black in his conscious perception.

Suddenly, those icy and gloomy winds were strongly attracted by some kind of magnetic field when they passed by him like fog, and turned back abruptly.

A trace of cold power escaped from the gloomy cold wind into his dantian spiritual sea.

Pang Jian was surprised.

He secretly felt it, and felt that there were some more pieces of ice in his spiritual sea, filling the "cotton"-like spiritual sea dross.

"Ice slag" has a magical supernatural power, and when it comes into contact with "cotton wool", both of them melt away.

Pang Jian closed his eyes lightly, feeling that there was also a part of aura in this cold force.

That cold power, like a kind of sediment in the airflow, seems to be what everyone calls impurities and dirt.

"Everyone, please pay attention, the power of Xuanyin contained in Siyi Spiritual Qi is not something you can bear. If you are not a practitioner of special formulas, if you take the power of Xuanyin into your body, it will only make them miserable." Ning Yuanshan drank.

He didn't need to remind him, everyone except Pang Jian didn't dare to try to absorb the spiritual energy in the cold wind and cold air, and they all knew that the gain outweighed the loss.

"The power of Xuanyin?"

Pang Jian thought for a moment.

The alien force in the "ice slag" is washing the "cotton" in his spiritual sea at this moment, making his spiritual sea clear and clean.

But he was not in such pain as Ning Yuanshan said.

"Heaven Pot Nourishing Qi!"

He secretly praised the magic of this formula, and even felt a little grateful for Sun Bin who is now lifeless.

In a remote place far away from everyone, he kept silently guiding the gloomy cold air into his body.

When the cold air blew away with the wind, everyone's attention was focused on Han Duping among the stone piles, and no one cared about Pang Jian who was standing in the corner.

"almost."

Accompanied by the sound of rocks moving, the fat Han Duping finally dared to walk from the outside to the inside of the stone pile.

At this time, the ear-piercing whistling sound in the stone pile suddenly stopped.

Soon, Han Duping came to the dead Liu Qi, looked at the bloody hole in his forehead, and then looked at the white paper fan.

On the paper of the white paper fan, the original green bamboos are now blood red.

Han Duping's eyes fell on the corpse holding the white paper fan again, and said: "These blood moon guys, their cultivation level... is comparable to ours, but they are only at the Tongmai level. The real big men, Search for Tianfeng's remains in the upper realm, because the most likely place for that divine bone to appear is in the upper realm."

"After all, the divine bone has the miraculous Tianfeng inheritance, and there are more amazing talents in the upper world."

As if to cheer himself up, Han Duping stared at the white paper fan for a moment in front of the pile of rocks where the yin energy dissipated, and then planned to reach out to get it.

"I trust Lao Han's ability and judgment."

The tall and fierce Zhou Qingchen looked quite relaxed, and said with a smile, "The deceased is in the same state as us, and he has been dead for a long time, even the power of Xuanyin has dissipated, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

After saying that, he mounted the one-horned rhinoceros again, and took the lead to run towards the pile of rocks.

As soon as he moved, those Zhou family members who followed him no longer hesitated, and immediately chose to follow his pace.

"Ning Yao, there may be danger inside." He Ziren reminded suddenly.

Ning Yao ignored him, exchanged a glance with Ning Yuanshan, and led the Ning family inside.

Suddenly, outside the stone pile, only He Ziren and Pang Jian were left.

Pang Jian huddled in a corner, still cultivating with the overflowing "Power of Mysterious Yin", in order to eliminate the dross and impurities in the spiritual sea in a short time, and become a real Qi refiner.

"Boy, do you think they will all die inside like Liu Qi?"
