Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 563: Earth God, an old monster from thousands of years ago, an alien

Inside the underground palace, Luo Yan looked around carefully.

His eyes kept darting back and forth.

The images of gods carved on the stone pillars were like a beautiful legendary painting, slowly unfolding in his mind.

The picture is both old and timeless, making Luo Yan subconsciously immersed in it.

He had a feeling that there seemed to be some secret hidden in this.

"Huh? Who!"

Suddenly, the divine eye between Luo Yan's eyebrows flickered, and he turned around abruptly with a fierce look in his eyes.

Looking over there, there was no one in that area.

The entire underground palace seemed silent and empty, without any spiritual energy.

You can see it clearly at a glance!
Luo Yan frowned, feeling something was wrong, because the Divine Eye of Hexagrams was transformed by the power of destiny and it was impossible for it to be wrong.

He had indeed sensed some unusual noises before.

But now it seems that there is no movement, as if he had sensed it wrongly.

Luo Yan remained on guard without moving, his mind at its highest point.

'Om! '

The divine eye of the hexagram swept across, the power of fate entangled, countless mysterious runes disappeared into nothingness, and it looked in all directions along the strands of cause and effect.

After a long time, Luo Yan finally caught a glimpse of something.

They were several human-shaped shadows, without substance, condensed from smoke, but they really existed and could drill into the statue on the stone pillar at any time!

"Hmph! Pretending to be a ghost!"

"Brilliant thunder and lightning, obey my command and lead them with your energy." Luo Yan shouted softly, and crackling silver light condensed on his body with a terrifying sound.

In an instant, the entire underground palace was shrouded in the violent aura of the Thunder Realm.

He looked as if he wanted to destroy this underground palace with thunder and lightning.

"Wait a minute, my friend. We have no ill intentions and are not trying to spy on you. Please show some mercy!"

A human-shaped shadow emerged from a stone pillar on the side.

As he appeared, his figure gradually became more solid.

It is old, with unique patterns and a large group of spots, and seems to be from a very ancient style.

Not like the beautiful black robes we have today.

"I am Chi Jinzi, nice to meet you, young friend!"

Finally, the phantom transformed into an old man with a few round buns on his head, a slightly hunched body, an ethereal aura, and a temperament as deep as the ocean.

"You don't have the aura of a true spirit, you don't look like a living person."

"Who the hell are you?" Luo Yan asked.

He looked over and saw no one there, and his true spiritual consciousness could not sense any trace of the other party.

If it weren't for the third eye between his eyebrows shining, Luo Yan would definitely not be able to see the old man's figure.

It is very strange, as if it does not exist in this world, yet it has substance.

"Young man, your vision is indeed sharp and your cultivation level is extraordinary. You can see through my figure at a glance." The mysterious old man said with a smile.

Many creatures have entered this underground palace, but the Taoist in green clothes in front of him is the first one who can see their figures.

Very amazing!

Although Luo Yan's previous words sounded like an insult, they both knew that was not what he meant.

What’s strange is that although it was the first time for both parties to meet, the mysterious old man seemed very enthusiastic.

This made Luo Yan secretly frown, and he automatically became immune to compliments, his eyes remaining calm.

I was wondering what was going on with this old man's condition.

It is not a real living being, nor is it a ghost.

They cannot be seen by ordinary means!
The lightning on Luo Yan's body did not dissipate, and still shone in all directions, like a ball of silver flame, burning everything.

"I am the incarnation of the thoughts of this underground palace, and I am also the god of the earth." The mysterious old man replied.

Finally, the hunchbacked old man gave an explanation.

"Earth God? It's a very novel thing." Luo Yan's eyes showed strange color.

Rumor has it that some living beings still have attachment to the human world after death and are unwilling to return to the underworld.

So they use some special means to merge their souls with the earth or physical objects, in order to form something like an earthbound spirit.

With this, the state of spirit and soul completely disappears, turning into another very mysterious state.

As long as the physical object that is integrated is not destroyed, an alternative kind of eternal life can be achieved!

This is even more amazing than immortals and gods!

In some remote places, creatures like them have a very famous name - mountain gods or land gods!
"My friend, you are indeed well-informed and have even heard of my name." Chi Jinzi exclaimed.

Not only can he see through their figures, but he can also gain some insights from them. This is something that not everyone can do.

"What about them? Are they the same as you?" Luo Yan pointed at the stone pillars.

If Luo Yan saw correctly, there were several black shadows before.

"My fellow comrades, why don't you come out and meet this young friend?" Chi Jinzi smiled.

As he finished speaking, not long after, three more shadows gradually turned into entities.

One of them held a bamboo stick, another held a cane, and the other was a burly man with his upper body naked.

"The Lower God Chiqingzi, the Lower God Chisongzi, and the Lower God Wang Liaozi greet fellow Taoist." Three slightly dull voices sounded at the same time.

Luo Yan looked around and found that Chijinzi, Chiqingzi and Chisongzi did not look like earth gods, but more like three monsters and demons.

The main bodies are divided into three categories: rocks, bamboos and pines.

But after careful observation, it was found that there was indeed no aura of any living being on them, no level of cultivation, and no true spiritual consciousness.

The possibility that it is a transformed monster is greatly reduced.

The only special thing is that the current state of these people is very special, invisible to the naked eye and undetectable by spiritual consciousness.

Even if Luo Yan wanted to see their figures, he had to use the extremely mysterious power of destiny to get a glimpse of them.

"What do you want to do with me?"

Luo Yan was not a fool. Seeing the other party actively exposing their bodies, he guessed that they wanted something.

So he asked directly.

At the same time, he also became interested in the status of these people.

If Luo Yan could master this secret method of hiding his body, his escape skills would be greatly improved, and he might even be able to be respected among his peers!
"That's it, little friend!"

"The reason why we are spying on you and showing up in a hurry is that we have a great fortune to give you!"

Chi Jinzi's face was wrinkled with smile, and he looked very kind, like an amiable old man next door.

"Oh? What a great fortune?" Luo Yan did not comment and waited for the other party's subsequent words.

"Young friend, do you know the origin of this small world?" Chi Jinzi asked back.

Without waiting for Luo Yan's response, he continued after a moment:
"In ancient times, in order to solve the problem of their own scarcity of offspring, the True Dragon Clan came up with a method that allowed all spirits to transform into dragons."

“But how powerful is the bloodline of the True Dragon Clan? How can an ordinary creature, no matter how high its cultivation level is, transform into a dragon?” “These are two different creatures!”

“So the Ancestral Dragon at that time thought of a way to allow all the spirits in the world to transform into dragons, and also to strengthen the True Dragon Clan.”

"Based on this idea, that great being opened up this small world and passed down two methods: the Dragon Transformation Pool Baptism and the True Dragon Treasure Transformation Technique."

Chi Jinzi explained and pointed out the origin of this small world.

It wasn't very bland, but it barely satisfied Luo Yan's curiosity.

"What I want to tell you is the news about the Dragon Pond!"

"What do you think? Can this be considered a great fortune?" Chi Jinzi's laughter was bright and full of pride.

That’s the Dragon Pond!
Any living creature, once walking inside, will shed its mortal body and turn into a real dragon.

He masters the supreme principles of Tao, can move clouds, bring rain, transform wind, create fog, and dominate the heavens and myriad worlds.

Who wouldn’t like such a great existence?

"."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the underground palace fell silent for a while.

The enthusiastic scene that Chi Jinzi imagined did not happen. Instead, he was met with a strange look.

After a long while, Luo Yan asked curiously, "May I ask you, how long has it been since you left this barrier?"

"The lower god was originally an ordinary green bamboo, but was later spied on by outsiders. It must have been tens of thousands of years since he left the forest." Chi Qingzi said.

"The mountain where the lower god lived was once destroyed in a battle between several powerful magicians, so they had to hide here."

"Counting the time, it has been almost more than 10,000 years." Wang Liaozi glanced at the thin old man next to him, and said proudly.

It seems that living a long life is also a skill for them.

"It should have been several thousand years since the gods came here," Chisongzi also said at this time.

Hearing their responses, Luo Yan nodded, a trace of contemplation flashing across his face.

Changing the subject, Luo Yan looked at the old man in front of him: "What about you?"

"I have lived in this underground palace since the birth of my true spirit."

"The passage of time has never blessed me, the changes in the world have never affected my mind, I have long forgotten what age is!"

The red gold carries a sense of nostalgia and is full of the vicissitudes of life.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the first of the four to develop consciousness and is born divine!
"No wonder that's the case."

"It turns out that you are all hiding in this underground palace barrier, like a deep pool in the mountains, and have never known the changes in the outside world."

In this way, it all makes sense.

Where does that weird feeling of disharmony come from?

No wonder Luo Yan always felt that the tone and accent of these old guys' speech were strange, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"What do you mean, young friend?" Chi Jinzi paused in twirling his beard, his eyes filled with confusion.

The other three earth gods also cast their gazes over here.

Luo Yan withdrew a part of the power of destiny, revealing a trace of illusory aura, so that these "old antiques" could feel his current state.

Soon, several exclamations were heard one after another.

"How come there is no breath of life?"

"Are you not a human being too?"

Previously, they thought that this Taoist in green was just good at hiding his aura.

But now it seems that this is not the case!
Luo Yan was so upset that he gave an explanation, which ultimately caused the old men to fall silent.

"It turns out that you did not enter this world in your true body."

"No wonder I feel indifferent to the news about the Dragon Pond," Chi Jinzi murmured, and the smile on his face disappeared.

After all, one needs to have the real body to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool. The Taoist body is originally a collection of energy. No matter how it transforms, can it still transform into a dragon?
Luo Yan looked at him deeply, and then said, "You are spying on me, is it because you want to ask for something?"

"What is it?"

Chi Jinzi and the others looked at each other, and then added: "To be honest, my friend."

"For a long time, we have been confined to this underground palace barrier and cannot contact anything in the outside world. Therefore, we can only be in a state of long-term sleep."

"It was not until we sensed the special aura on you that we woke up from our deep sleep. We wanted to use the information about the Dragon Pond to make a deal with you."

Soon, Luo Yan figured out the demands of these earth gods.

They wanted to ask where the power of faith in Luo Yan came from and how to condense it.

This will be of great help to their Shinto practice!

The gods of the earth are actually a kind of divine soul, but their state is very special, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are completely dead.

It is between reality and illusion, having only form but not spirit.

This is the earthbound spirit!

Luo Yan thought about it and realized that the way the power of faith is condensed might not be well understood by outsiders.

But for him, he just happened to know the secret, which was not a big deal. If he wanted to trade it, it would not be worth it.

So I gave a brief explanation to these "old antiques".

The states of these earth gods in front of him were actually very strange. They had obviously lived for a very long time, but there was not a trace of law or magic power on their bodies.

This is more like some kind of obsession, not a real earthly god.

"A devout believer with a firm faith?"

"I see."

A few old men murmured for a while, and then their figures gradually turned into light smoke and slowly disappeared.

He came suddenly and left inexplicably.

‘Wow! ’

A brilliant light suddenly burst out from the stone pillars in the underground palace, and a soft holy light filled the air, reflecting on the top of the cliff of the underground palace.

That's a map.

A comprehensive map of the entire Little True Dragon Realm!
The landforms such as yellow sand, mountains, forests, wilderness, and water are all visible.

Relying on the route he took when he came here, Luo Yan quickly found his corresponding location.

A remote place in the southwest.

Following the projection of the holy light on the scroll, Luo Yan saw many circled areas of varying sizes.

After comparison, Luo Yan discovered that the circled areas seemed to be restricted areas.

After connecting all these areas, a new pattern is formed, the dragon!

It looks like a totem, but it also seems to contain some deep meaning.

In this scroll, there is an area that is particularly eye-catching, blooming with brilliant divine clouds, and the sound of dragon roars can be heard. The strange phenomenon alarmed the entire underground palace.

Luo Yan observed carefully and found that it was an ultimate place, hidden at the junction of several restricted areas.

At the same time, this also means that that place may be the place with the greatest opportunity in the entire demon world!
