The cave is actually myself

Chapter 264
After figuring out that his identity would not be discovered by Yun Lang for the time being, Lu Yuan felt relieved and talked with Wu Li.

"Friend Daoist Lu, what we are going to explore together is a certain secret realm. According to legend, that secret realm is part of the Broken Cave Sky."

"After entering the secret realm, the monk's five senses will be deprived, especially vision and hearing. Remember to completely seal it, otherwise you will suffer extremely serious damage."

"Only spiritual thoughts are relatively less affected in the secret realm, so entering it requires extremely powerful spiritual thoughts."

Wu Li introduced Lu Yuan about the exploration of the secret realm.

"There is also a strange thing called Nian Po in the secret realm. Each Nian Po contains the Nian Po Beads, which are particularly effective in enhancing spiritual thoughts. There may be other good things hidden deep in the secret realm, but last time We were not prepared enough and only explored the outer areas of the secret realm."

"By the way, fellow daoist Lu, besides you and fellow daoist Yunlang, there is another fellow daoist who is also in the middle stage of alchemy and has a special spiritual sense. It is estimated that he will arrive soon."

Not long after Wu Li finished speaking, a woman covered in a mask came to the valley.

The woman's figure was thin, her arms were as white as snow, without any blood. Just as Lu Yuan was looking at her, suddenly half of her body was drilled into her neck.

His face was blurred, and his body was dissipating like smoke. Lu Yuan suddenly felt a cold aura locking him. He looked away, and the half of his dissipated body immediately returned to the woman's body.

"Let me introduce you two. This is Fellow Daoist Liu Yinzhu, a monk from the Jiyin Sect who is good at the secret method of incarnation. This is Fellow Daoist Lu, the owner of the mysterious Immortal Fate Building that appeared some time ago and is very powerful."

"Fellow Taoist Yunlang was once nourished by the dragon soul. His spiritual thoughts are powerful and he also has strange abilities. I tested Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan not long ago and found that the strength of his spiritual thoughts is just as strong as mine. Fellow Daoist Liu is good at the art of clones. Needless to say, his spiritual thoughts , and I have some experience in the agency, and since I need to control so many agency puppets, my spiritual thoughts are acceptable."

Wu Li said, introducing Lu Yuan and the woman to each other. The four of them had a conversation, and after confirming that all the preparations needed to enter the secret realm were in place, they took a short rest and rushed to the secret realm together.

Lu Yuan and the other two stood on Wu Li's huge mechanism bird, and they were flying like lightning. Two days later, they came to an abyss.

The abyss was endless, and black clouds and mist were billowing, blocking the sight of Lu Yuan and the others. Looking from above, there was an extremely terrifying aura faintly coming from them.

"This is the entrance. There are many weird monsters in this black devil abyss, and there are dangerous places everywhere. I want to distract the puppet of the torso, and also ask a few fellow Taoists to pay attention to the surroundings, if they encounter any monsters without eyes. The beasts are weird, kill the weak ones quickly, and run away quickly to avoid wasting time if they are troublesome.”

Wu Li said to Lu Yuan and the others. Seeing the three of them nodding in agreement, the spiritual energy in his body began to circulate. The runes on the huge machine bird lit up, and a thick blue-gray shield appeared on the surface of the bird.

The mechanical birds fiercely dived into the clouds and mist of the Black Demon Abyss.

All the way down, Lu Yuan's mind felt that the concentration of clouds and fog was getting higher and higher, and his mind felt a vague sense of stagnation.

Perhaps it was because Wu Li and the others were already familiar with the route, they didn't encounter any danger along the way, and occasionally encountered a few monsters of average strength, but they were also killed by Lu Yuan and others who each guarded a position.

Lu Yuan hid the little paper man and the Huan Yin Tong very well inside his body, and used the talisman and the Vajra Blood Sword Embryo to kill the two monsters respectively.

The flying speed of the mechanism birds in the cloud and mist is getting slower and slower, and there are traces of black air on the aura shield, which is constantly corroding the surface of the shield.

About five hours later, the mechanical bird stopped, and the aura shield on the surface could not be eroded by the black air and suddenly shattered.

"Okay, we will have to rely on ourselves for the next part of the journey. Everyone, please be careful and cover your eyes and ears in advance."

Wu Li reminded.

Although I am not a real person now, and the deprivation of my five senses has little effect on me, I still have to show off in order not to attract the attention of the other three people.

Lu Yuan took out a white gauze magic weapon from his storage bag and covered his eyes and ears at the same time.

He let go of his spiritual thoughts and could keenly feel the presence of the three people beside him. He followed the team and slowly walked forward.

After a while, when he came to the front of a restriction, according to Wu Li's instructions, Lu Yuan created a divine sense, and together with the other three, they worked together to open a hole in the restriction.

Taking advantage of the crack to close, the four of them quickly entered the secret realm.

As soon as he entered, Lu Yuan noticed that his environment had changed significantly.

It feels like the whole person has entered a dead silent world, without a ray of light, without any sound, and the range of activities of the divine mind has been reduced by an unknown number of times.

"I heard Wu Li say before that the maximum range of movement of spiritual thoughts after entering the secret realm is about ten feet. If it exceeds ten feet, you cannot sense the movement in the secret realm."

Lu Yuan recalled the information Wu Li revealed before coming in, and his spiritual thoughts slowly extended forward.

One zhang, two zhang, five zhang, ten zhang...

Ok?
Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder. His spiritual thoughts easily reached ten feet away, and he didn't even feel any difficulty at all.

I don't know how far the limit can go?
Lu Yuan was thinking this in his mind, worried that the people around him would notice something strange about him, so his mind returned to his body, and he planned to find an opportunity to experiment again.

Affected by the secret realm, under the perception of divine sense, Wu Li and the others next to him could only vaguely perceive the existence of the other party, and there were still some gray lines swimming nearby. The four of them were on guard carefully, lest there was any terrifying existence hidden in the gray lines.

"Fellow Taoists, remember not to expose your eyes and ears, just communicate with your spiritual thoughts. At the same time, due to the limitations of your spiritual thoughts, don't be too far away from each other, so as not to fall into the unfavorable situation of fighting alone. .”

Lu Yuan's spiritual mind sensed Wu Li's reminder beside him, and he also responded with his spiritual mind to express his agreement.

As you enter deeper and deeper into the secret realm, the gray lines around you tend to gradually increase.

Lu Yuan followed the three of them and had a sudden idea.

If I use the avatar of Huan Yin Tong to inspect it and then share it, what will happen?

Anyway, the loss is only one eyeball clone, and the Phantom Yin Pupil can be split into new ones at any time. With its current disaster-level strength, the loss of an eyeball clone is not very big, even if it is more, it is acceptable.

He did what he thought of, and while using most of his spiritual thoughts to pay attention to the surroundings, he sent a ray of spiritual thoughts to the chest of the Bone Erosion Demon Puppet.

Using green ginseng fruit as bait, he tricked Huanyin Tong into creating an eyeball clone inside his bones.

Although Huanyin Tong felt extremely uncomfortable after entering the secret realm, blocked by Lu Yuan's skin and the bone-eating demon puppet, it could not withstand the temptation of delicious food and its eyes widened. Then, a much smaller scarlet red Eyeballs popped out of a pupil on the surface.

The pink-tinted tentacles of the small eyes swam, and according to Lu Yuan's instructions, they came to the gap between the bones. A thin crack suddenly opened on the back of Lu Yuan's neck, exposing the eyeball clone that had already found its position.

"Huh? Why didn't you respond?"

Lu Yuan waited for a long time, but his mind did not see the formation of a screen in the dark bones, let alone sense the environment outside the secret realm.

After a brief communication with Huanyin Tong, Lu Yuan realized that the moment the clone appeared, the main body lost contact with it, and it would take a certain amount of time to transmit what the clone saw and for the main body to display it on the screen. .

Lu Yuan nodded secretly. After thinking for a while, he thought of another way.

Since there is not enough time to share the vision of the clone, why not directly possess the eyeball clone and see it?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. Anyway, his spiritual consciousness was strong enough in this secret realm. Even if it separated and possessed the Huanyin Tong clone and was destroyed, it would not have a great impact on him.

He was also a little curious about this weird secret realm, so he separated a small part of his spiritual mind. After the Phantom Yin Pupil separated into an eyeball clone, he used the distraction technique to place it on the eyeball clone.

Then, he crawled to a prepared position, and after a crack opened in the skin, Lu Yuan's mind possessed his eyeballs and looked out.

What comes into view is a gray world with nothing clearly visible.

Before Lu Yuan could take a second look, the eyeball clone dissipated in an instant, along with a wisp of Lu Yuan's spiritual thoughts.

Fortunately, his spiritual consciousness is now as profound as the sea. Losing one ray will have no impact on him at all. Lu Yuan followed the same method and separated another ray of spiritual consciousness. He used the distraction technique to possess a new eyeball clone. .

After experimenting like this for a few times, he summarized it and finally had a rough impression of this secret realm.

Everything in the secret realm has no clear and obvious outlines, as if there are many shadows. If you take a second look, your sight seems to be absorbed by these shadows. The entire secret realm is gray and filled with a strong atmosphere of death.

After Lu Yuan discovered the situation in the secret realm, no new spiritual thoughts were differentiated, and the Huanyin Tong body no longer produced new eyeball clones.

His spiritual sense can explore a huge range of the secret realm, far more than ten feet. When possessed by the eyeball clone, he can also see the surrounding scene clearly for a short time. Lu Yuan plans to hide these, maybe he can use this at a critical moment. Two killer tricks.

Each of the four of them held a position, leaving part of the area where their spiritual thoughts could jointly buffer, maximizing the use of the range that their spiritual thoughts could extend.

"How do fellow Taoists feel now?"

Wu Li suddenly asked Lu Yuan and the others.

"Still the same as last time, there is no obvious difference from last time." Yun Lang replied in a muffled voice.

"Same." Liu Yinzhu said concisely.

"How about you, fellow Daoist Lu?"

me too...

Lu Yuan replied in his heart, paused, and said.

"After I came in, I felt that my spiritual thoughts were very limited. I could only perceive scenes within ten feet. I was not only blind, but my mind was also blind."

Lu Yuan spoke nonsense.

"This is normal. Fellow Daoist Lu must be careful when entering the secret realm for the first time. The thoughts inside are difficult to guard against and appear and disappear. In addition, our five senses are deprived and our spiritual thoughts are limited, making them very threatening."

"Okay, thank you Taoist Friend Wu Li for reminding me."

Lu Yuan spiritually thanked Wu Li for the piece of clear glazed tea that he had given him in return. Wu Li took good care of him along the way and even dragged him into this strange secret place.

The four people exchanged a few words with each other and immediately fell into silence.

At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that the gray line detected by his spiritual mind was flowing a little faster.

"Be careful, Nian Po is coming."

Yunlang's mind reminded him.

The gray lines beside him were like frightened fish, swimming chaotically in the air, and soon formed an irregular monster, swimming quickly to everyone.

"Roar~!"

Yunlang, who reacted the fastest, tilted his neck back, and the dark red scales on his neck spread ferociously. The dragon's roar sounded, and layers of air waves hit the gray line.

Under the impact of the sound waves, the gray threads on the monster's body continued to break, and soon extended new ones, forming a brand new monster.

However, this pause bought Lu Yuan and others some time.

Lu Yuan's lips were slightly opened, and a blood-red sword thread flew out of his mouth. He chanted Buddhist chants, and the gray thread seemed to be inspired. His movements slowed down a lot. The sword thread suddenly grew larger and turned into a small dark red sword. The sword surrounded the gray line monster and strangled it.

Under the rapid twisting of the Vajra Blood Sword Fetus, the gray thread broke into countless small gray dots.

It stands to reason that with such an appearance, most of the monsters would die on the spot, but the gray line monster is extremely tenacious, and has a tendency to heal and take shape again.

A strange insect with three pairs of wooden wings flew into the gray line monster's thousands of gray spots. The abdomen of the insect was extremely distended, and it was unknown what was hiding, and there was a faint violent aura.

Just when it fell, the insect's abdomen burst open, and countless flames rose into the air like fireworks.

In Lu Yuan's spiritual perception, the gray line monster completely turned into countless tiny gray light points. The light points no longer had the strong recovery power as before. They all floated in the air and slowly merged towards the center.

At this moment, half of Liu Yinzhu's body, which had been unresponsive, suddenly emerged from his neck. The body and the main body were connected by a gray mist, and instantly flew into the middle of countless gray dots.

Half of the body stretched out the illusory arm, stirring gently in countless light spots. Soon, a light ball the size of the tip of a little finger appeared in the illusory arm.

The light ball flashes into a faint gray light. If the mind keeps paying attention to its surface, a slight sense of solidity will be born.

"The gray line monster that Fellow Daoist Lu just saw is the so-called Nian Po in the secret realm."

Because Lu Yuan entered the secret realm for the first time, Wu Li Shennian explained to him.

"The Nian Po has a natural advantage in the secret realm and is extremely difficult to deal with. However, if it is completely eliminated, the Nian Po Bead will be born."

"After a monk takes it, it can greatly enhance his spiritual sense, and it may also add many magical effects."

"At the same time, it is also the main material for some seventh-grade elixir that enhances the soul."

"However, the one that attacked us just now was just an ordinary soul bead. The effect of the separated soul beads is relatively average, and the better ones are still deep in the depths."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, feeling a little interested in this Soul Bead. It was quite useful to him whether it was to enhance his spiritual thoughts or as a material for refining elixirs.

"What did Fellow Daoist Lu just sacrifice? It seems to have a powerful sword intention, but the spiritual sense feels that it is not like a flying sword."

Yun Lang beside him asked curiously.

"Indeed it's not a flying sword, it's just a sword embryo that I got by chance, and I used it fairly easily so I didn't refine it into a flying sword."

"It can easily cause damage to the mind. I'm afraid it's not an ordinary sword fetus, right?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said nothing, letting Yun Lang guess.

"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Liu got this rosary bead, it will be kept in her hands temporarily. When new rosary beads are obtained later, they will be kept by other fellow Taoists. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Yun?"

Wu Li's spiritual thoughts suddenly interrupted and spoke to the three of them.

The quality of this soul bead was average, and there would be new ones later. Naturally, Lu Yuan and Yun Lang had no objection. Amidst the uncertain gray lines, the four of them walked cautiously towards the depths of the secret realm.
