Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Seeing that the strong wind was so powerful, Song Qingming's hand flashed with inspiration, and he increased his magic power and injected it into the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of him. He then reduced the size of the protective shield formed by his own magic weapon, and then raised his leg to continue walking forward.

After walking forward for dozens of feet with the help of the protective shield, Song Qingming suddenly felt that the surrounding strong wind had weakened a lot. He was delighted and immediately quickened his pace.

After walking for more than ten steps, just as Song Qingming expected, he passed through the barrier of the restriction and came out of the strong wind.

After breaking through this restriction, Song Qingming arrived at a very ancient circular hall.

This hall is much smaller than the outermost one, only about five or six feet long and wide. There are more than a dozen stone statues around the hall, each of which is carved with various monster heads.

There is a high stone platform in the center of the hall, on which is placed a very quaint wooden box that is half a foot long.

When Song Qingming saw the wooden box, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought that there must be something good in it.

Just as he was about to take a step forward and take the wooden box, Song Qingming suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from his body, which made him stop in surprise.

"Could this be such a coincidence?"

After Song Qingming exclaimed in surprise, he quickly reached out his hand and gently waved it across his chest, taking out the ancient fragment of the picture that had been sewn on his chest.

Song Qingming's face was filled with shock as he felt that the incomplete map in his hand, without any magic power covering it, was actually emitting a faint spiritual light and became very agitated.

Ever since he obtained this incomplete map that year, when Song Qingming did not actively use it to absorb spiritual energy, it was no different from an ordinary piece of rag and had never changed.

The only time this kind of change occurred was when he and Huo Feng happened to find another incomplete map in the "Taiyue Lake" secret realm.

Seeing the unusual reaction of the incomplete map in his hand, Song Qingming immediately realized that there was most likely another incomplete map hidden in the hall, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

As the biggest secret of his own, ever since he knew the special function of the incomplete map, Song Qingming has always wanted to know what kind of treasure this incomplete map in his hand is.

It’s just a pity that even though Song Qingming has now successfully formed a golden elixir and become a high-ranking Jindan cultivator, he still hasn’t been able to learn any information related to the incomplete map from various classics in the world of immortal cultivation.

That year, he found another similar incomplete picture. It seemed to be related but could never be pieced together. Song Qingming has studied it countless times over the years, but has never gained anything.

If he could find another incomplete map this time, maybe he would have a chance to unlock the secret of the incomplete map on his body. How could he not be excited?

After putting away the incomplete map in his hand, Song Qingming glanced around the hall again, then cast a spell to summon "Golden Wind" and directed it to walk towards the stone platform step by step.

Just as he reached the edge of the stone platform and was about to take the wooden box from it, a noise suddenly came from the sky above the hall. A white light shield suddenly appeared out of thin air above the empty stone platform, covering the wooden box below.

Immediately afterwards, extremely sharp golden sword lights shot out from the tops of the stone statues around them, heading straight for the location of "Golden Wind".

"Sure enough, there are still restrictions!"

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming, who had been prepared, immediately controlled the "Golden Wind" to release a protective aura to block the flying sword light, and then quickly retreated back the original path.

Although he retreated in time, "Jinfeng" was still beaten into a state of disarray by the golden sword lights. Not only were his clothes tattered, but there were also several bloody holes on his body.

Fortunately, "Jinfeng" is just a corpse puppet after all, and this injury is not too serious for him. He only needs to recuperate for a period of time to recover.

Knowing that the restrictions guarding the wooden box were quite powerful, Song Qingming did not dare to be careless anymore. After carefully observing his surroundings, he waved his hand and took out a set of formation flags, and then set up the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" on the spot.

After using this formation to cast a set of protective spiritual light, Song Qingming cast a spell to release his own magic weapon, adding an extra layer of protection inside, and then took the first step and walked towards the platform again with "Golden Wind" beside him.

When Song Qingming arrived near the platform, just like the "Golden Wind" just now, he quickly triggered the ban, causing the surrounding stone statues to attack him.

However, Song Qingming's cultivation level was not comparable to the "Golden Wind" of the fifth level of the Golden Core. In addition, he had already arranged the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" in advance. The protective power of his body at this moment had almost reached the peak of the Golden Core cultivator.

Facing the rapid and continuous golden sword lights coming from all around, Song Qingming remained calm. After seeing that the formation could defend against these attacks, he directly faced the sword lights and approached the platform.

Then he cast a spell and turned the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", his life-saving magic weapon, into five bronze mirrors. He shot several colorful rays of light at the light shield on the stage, hoping to destroy the shield in one fell swoop and get the wooden box inside.

Unexpectedly, even though the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" had been attacking for a long time, the light shield did not weaken at all, which made Song Qingming a little surprised.

Although the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" can resist the attack of the golden sword light outside, it also consumes the magic power in Song Qingming's body.

In addition, he had to control his own magic weapon and the "Golden Wind" to attack the white shield on the platform. However, in just a quarter of an hour, more than half of Song Qingming's magic power had been consumed.

Seeing that this didn't seem to be a solution, Song Qingming immediately changed his idea of ​​getting the treasure and looked directly upwards.

When the ban was just activated, there was an obvious noise coming from above, which indirectly proves that the mechanism controlling these bans is most likely right above.

Now that he couldn't open the shield for the time being, Song Qingming could only give up the idea of ​​taking the treasure head-on and try to break the last restriction that was blocking him from other directions.

After taking back his life-saving magic weapon, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", Song Qingming flew directly to the top of his head, searched the dome carefully, and soon saw a somewhat unusual ancient rune pattern.

"It should be right here!"

After Song Qingming whispered to himself, he waved his hand and threw out three formation flags, which were fixed around the rune. He then took out a third-level sealing talisman and attached it directly on the rune.

"Success or failure depends on this one move, stop it right now."

With Song Qingming's loud shout, the sealing symbol above the rune immediately emitted a golden light and directly merged into the rune.

Song Qingming also used the method that Bai Yunhua had used to break the formation, but the sealing talisman he took out was much more advanced than Bai Yunhua's. It only took him a moment to seal the entire rune.

Not long after he finished casting the spell, Song Qingming immediately felt his body lighten, and the golden sword light that was constantly attacking him suddenly disappeared quickly.

Seeing that the white shield on the platform below also disappeared, Song Qingming was delighted and a smile appeared on his face. He quickly descended from the air and walked towards the platform.

After successfully getting the wooden box, Song Qingming immediately opened it.

Unexpectedly, the thing inside was not the incomplete map as he imagined, but a palm-sized green jade bottle magic weapon.

"Hey! What's going on here?"

Although this magic weapon "Green Jade Bottle" is not a common item, its quality has reached the fourth lower grade, and it is more powerful than any magic weapon Song Qingming has.

However, Song Qingming did not find the incomplete map he wanted most in the wooden box. At this moment, his face was still disappointed. After putting away the "green jade bottle" in his hand, he immediately searched around the stone platform.

The incomplete map on his body had been reacting abnormally, obviously sensing that there were other incomplete maps nearby, but Song Qingming looked around and found nothing around and did not find any other places where spiritual objects were hidden.

Seeing that his hurried search was useless, Song Qingming took a deep breath and calmed down slowly, then took out the original incomplete map from his body.

Just like before, the remaining picture emitted a faint spiritual light, and the spiritual energy on it was also very agitated, as if it was being summoned by something.

Song Qingming pressed the incomplete map against his chest again, then closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense. After his spiritual sense filled the entire hall, he slowly moved his feet and began to walk around the hall.

With the help of his powerful spiritual sense, Song Qingming was able to capture the subtle changes in the spiritual energy in all corners of the hall, hoping to find out if there was anything unusual hidden in the hall.

After walking around the hall for a few times, Song Qingming suddenly walked back to the stone platform, opened his eyes and began to search carefully above the empty stone platform.

He didn't notice any unusual spiritual energy around him just now, but he found that the farther he was from the stone platform, the weaker the reaction of the incomplete picture attached to his chest.

The change was so slight that Song Qingming had not sensed it before. It was only when he opened his spiritual sense and focused on searching the surrounding spiritual energy that he accidentally noticed this situation.

After searching the stone platform, I found it was empty without any patterns or rune marks, nor did it seem like there was any hidden mechanism or information.

After standing there and thinking for a moment, Song Qingming retracted his gaze, waved his hand and took out a golden ring, cast a spell to magnify it several times, and then smashed it directly at the stone platform.

"Since there is no way to find it directly, we can only use extraordinary means."

Under the powerful blow of the "Golden Treasure Halo", a loud noise was heard above the entire stone platform, and then a large cloud of dust immediately rose up around it, and countless pieces of gravel began to burst out in all directions.

Song Qingming raised his hand slightly and released a protective shield to isolate the rubble outside. Then he waved a light breeze to blow away the dust in front of him. Then a black wooden box floating in the air appeared in front of Song Qingming.

Seeing this simple wooden box, Song Qingming's face immediately showed some excitement, and he quickly ordered "Golden Wind" beside him to take it over. After opening the wooden box, an extremely familiar animal skin map soon came into view. Song Qingming picked it up and took a look, and soon confirmed that this was the incomplete map he had been thinking about, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I never expected to find a fragment of the map here. It seems that this thing is really meant for me."

This time, when Song Qingming followed Bai Yunhua to the Qinghe Cave, he originally wanted to see the cave of this ancient cultivator and try his luck to see if he could gain something here.

Before coming here, Song Qingming did not have high expectations for this cave, and he never thought that he could find something related to the incomplete map in it. How could he not be overjoyed?

Not only that, just now on the stone platform, Song Qingming also found a valuable fourth-grade lower-grade magic weapon "Green Jade Bottle", which was a great harvest and far exceeded his previous expectations.

A fourth-level low-grade magic weapon would be worth at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones if placed outside. The value of this spiritual object alone is no less than what Song Qingming obtained when he explored the cave of "Tianshi Taoist" in the East China Sea.

After getting the incomplete map, Song Qingming, who was still a little excited, couldn't help but start wondering why this strange incomplete map appeared here.

The magic weapon "Green Jade Bottle" that Song Qingming had obtained before was placed directly on the stone platform. As long as someone could get in, there would be a great chance that they could take it away.

However, the incomplete map stored in the stone platform was hidden more secretly. If Song Qingming had not sensed it because of the other incomplete map on his body, he would definitely not be able to find it for a while, and he might really miss this opportunity.

It can be seen that the owner of this cave really wanted to hide the information of the incomplete map from others, which is why he hid it so secretly.

The owner of the cave in the "Taiyue Lake" secret realm just threw the incomplete map into a pile of messy things, obviously not knowing the true purpose of the incomplete map.

However, the owner of this cave directly used a fourth-level magic weapon to cover up the existence of the incomplete map, which indirectly proves that he is very likely to know the value of this thing.

"Could it be that the other two fragments of the map were spread out from this ancient cultivator's cave?"

The location of this Qinghe Cave is close to "Yunwu Mountain", not far from where Song Qingming found the first incomplete map, probably only about a thousand miles away.

It is very likely that the ghost cultivator "Wen Tianyang" found the remaining map here.

However, after he obtained this item, no one knew what happened and he ended up dying in the nearby "Yunwu Mountain".

Although the "Taiyue Lake" secret realm is a little far from Qinghe County, the two places are also connected by "Qinghe", so it is not impossible for the other party to find this cave.

"Wen Tianyang" had reached the Jindan stage during his lifetime, and the owner of the "Taiyue Lake" cave was most likely a great cultivator in the late Yuanying stage. Both of them, like Song Qingming now, were fully capable of entering this cave and obtaining the "incomplete map".

Thinking of this, Song Qingming's heart suddenly became clear.

Although these things may have happened thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, Song Qingming was able to find some connections after some careful consideration.

After figuring out these things, the "Qinghe Cave Mansion" in front of him became more and more mysterious in Song Qingming's eyes.

If the owner of this cave is the previous owner of these fragments, then he is very likely to know the true purpose of these fragments. Maybe the secret to unlocking the fragments is right in front of him.

After thinking for a while, Song Qingming took out the other two incomplete maps and put them together.

After a closer look, I found that the edges of two of the pictures were somewhat similar and could be pieced together, but after trying for a while, I couldn't find any similarity in the remaining one, so it was obvious that there was still something missing.

"I thought I had collected all the pictures, but I didn't expect there were other fragments. It seems I have to find them all."

After Song Qingming sighed softly, he put away the "Golden Wind" beside him, and then put all the three incomplete maps in his hand into the storage bag on his waist. He planned to leave here first and look for information about the incomplete maps somewhere else.

Since one can be found in this cave, it proves that there are very likely other incomplete maps. I now have three incomplete maps on me, and I can use the fact that they can sense each other to find other incomplete maps.

After putting away the incomplete map in his hand, Song Qingming turned around and walked directly out of the hall, wanting to see if he could find the remaining incomplete map from other fellow practitioners Bai Yunhua mentioned.

But at the moment Song Qingming turned around, a white aura suddenly appeared around him and surrounded his body, and began to flicker continuously.

"What is this.?"

Seeing this, Song Qingming instinctively cast a spell and released the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body to protect himself.

However, before Song Qingming could figure out what was happening, his surroundings were already engulfed in white light.

Immediately afterwards, Song Qingming felt a dizziness and the whole person seemed to be sucked into the air by a vortex of spiritual energy, making him unable to control his body for a moment.

After a long while, Song Qingming felt that the spiritual energy around him slowly calmed down, and then the white light suddenly disappeared, and Song Qingming fell directly from mid-air.

Although he was still a little confused after the dizziness just now, Song Qingming was already a Jindan cultivator after all. He quickly stabilized his body from the dizziness and slowly landed on the ground.

Song Qingming, standing in place, quickly checked himself and found that the white light that suddenly appeared did not cause him any harm. Only then did he feel relieved and observe his surroundings.

But when Song Qingming looked up and looked forward, he found that the place he was in was no longer the original round palace, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

"Hey! What's going on? Could the white light just now be a teleportation array?"

Seeing this, Song Qingming reacted and immediately flew into the air to carefully scan the surrounding environment. He felt that this place was somewhat familiar to him.

After flying forward for a distance, a high platform appeared in front of Song Qingming.

Just as he thought, he had already left the palace and came to the hall outside the passage.

"Senior Song, I'm so glad you're okay. I don't know what happened just now but I was sent out by a beam of white light!"

"Hey! Fellow Daoist Bai, you've come out too. It seems that I just touched some kind of restriction in there, causing both of us to be teleported out."

As soon as he arrived in front of the platform, Song Qingming heard a shout. He turned around and found that it was Bai Yunhua who had just been teleported out like him.

"Oh! Senior Song has already broken through the strong wind and entered inside. Has he found anything?" Hearing Song Qingming's answer, Bai Yunhua couldn't help but ask excitedly.

After parting with Song Qingming at the white stone gate, Bai Yunhua had been hiding in the formation he had set up, waiting for Song Qingming to break through the restriction before taking him in.

However, Bai Yunhua waited and waited in the formation for a long time, but the power of the strong wind outside did not weaken. He thought that Song Qingming was dead and was blocked by the restriction and could not get through.

Just when he was worried about Song Qingming's safety, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared beside him and teleported him and Song Qingming out directly.

However, the places where the two people landed were different. Bai Yunhua landed near the platform, while Song Qingming was teleported farther away and was almost at the entrance of the cave where the two of them came in.

Seeing Bai Yunhua's excited face and her concern for the things in the circular hall, Song Qingming smiled and nodded, saying, "You are right, there is indeed something in there, and this is what I brought out."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out the "Green Jade Bottle" he had found on the stone platform before and held it in his hand.

Seeing the exquisite magic weapon in Song Qingming's hand, although Bai Yunhua could not directly see the specific quality of the "Green Jade Bottle" due to his low cultivation level, he could still feel that this thing was very extraordinary.

After decades of painstaking research, Bai Yunhua finally confirmed that there were indeed spiritual objects hidden in the passage. He was extremely excited for a moment, and bowed to Song Qingming with a look of satisfaction, thanking him:
"Thanks to Senior Song's presence, I am fortunate enough to have seen this thing in my lifetime. This makes up for my regret!"

"It is indeed very dangerous in there. Even a Jindan cultivator would be in danger of losing his life. I spent a lot of effort to get this thing, but it's a pity that I only found this magic weapon."

Song Qingming nodded calmly and put away the "green jade bottle" in his hand.

"In that case, I am considered lucky. If I hadn't found Senior Song and brought others with me, I'm afraid I would have been defeated in the end."

Upon hearing Song Qingming say that it was very dangerous there, Bai Yunhua showed a bit of fear on his face, and secretly thanked God that he did not go to find other Jindan cultivators in the sect without permission.

Otherwise, if a sect's Jindan elder really died here, not to mention his life, the entire Bai family would probably disappear completely in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Friend Bai, there is nothing in the previous passage, but I still want to check other passages. Can you help me open another one?"

"Haha! I don't want to trouble you. Please wait for a moment, I will go over and open the passage right away."

Hearing that Song Qingming wanted to enter other passages, Bai Yunhua was a little surprised, but he did not dare to ask more questions and hurriedly walked towards the location of the mural not far away.

"Hey! Senior, these runes seem to be a little wrong." (End of this chapter)
