Do not die

And at the next moment when Lian Ziling's mind was agitated and he was shocked and speechless, in the traces of time, the human-shaped flame that balled up the "film" had moved away from the altar.

The pale flaming figure with a hint of green also shattered in Lian Ziling's eyes, extinguished, and completely disappeared.

Lian Ziling can no longer look back in time to find any trace of it in the magma sea.

"This should be a real departure."

Lian Ziling made this judgment in his heart.

Although he only had a superficial understanding of the mysterious monk through capturing the traces of time, even the image of the young monk, he only regarded it as a temporary skin, and did not hastily overlap the two images. together.

But even so, Lian Ziling can basically draw the conclusion that the appearance of this mysterious monk has a very clear purpose, just to find this altar, and from it he exclaimed "Tianchi Star" A strange thing named "mud".

It is conceivable that even the Divine Soul Armor, which he attaches great importance to, is nothing more than a mention to this mysterious being. With such a personality, after acquiring such a rare object, he will definitely not do anything extraneous. thing.

This means that his tracking will have to stop at this step and will no longer be sustainable.

Whether it was that mysterious existence, or the large group of "Tianchi Star Mud" that made him covet, or the divine soul armor that "Qihuangzi" gave him - this was also the real thing he had tracked down all the way. The original intention...all of this had to come to an abrupt end at this moment.

All the clues disappeared suddenly into this sea of ​​magma.

"This person is definitely not from this domain. He must have used some means to sneak in from outside the domain."

This is an easy conclusion to draw.

For this alone, the ability of this mysterious existence cannot be lowered!

Because he knew very well that the "sky curtain" of Xingxiu Sea and the "realm of death" that isolated the eight wastelands in the outer world seemed to be unrelated and independent of each other.

But in fact, the Xingxiu Sea, as the core of the world with a radius of more than a million miles, is not only a natural hub of qi, but also the "sky curtain" of the Xingxiu Sea and the "realm of death" that isolates the outside world. This feature is further strengthened.

Taking advantage of the power of heaven and earth, and amplifying and amplifying the favorable factors, one can only use the power of four taels to leverage the huge power of heaven and earth that weighs a thousand kilograms or even ten thousand kilograms.

This is almost an instinct that is burned deep into the souls of all formation mages.

Although there are many advantages to this, there are also disadvantages.

The biggest disadvantage is that the Xingxiu Sea has become the "heart" of this land with a radius of more than a million miles. This vast world is forcibly bound to the Xingxiu Sea, and a life gate is created.

For Xingxiu Palace, this is not a disadvantage. On the contrary, it is the key to ensuring that Xingxiu Palace can always hold the world with a radius of more than a million miles in its hands.

And for this reason, when the Xingxiu Palace "closes the mountain" and completely blocks the "sky curtain" of the Xingxiu Sea, cutting off the inside and outside, the "realm of death" that is integrally connected with the Qi machine is also equivalent to the original foundation. An additional lock was added.

This world with a radius of more than a million miles is like a big city under a "curfew", and the neighborhoods that are not connected to each other are closed and locked.

During this period, if a monk who is not from the Xingxiu Palace wants to travel between the realms without a "key", the difficulty will also increase sharply, which is far more difficult than before the "canopy" of the Xingxiu Sea is closed.

Not to mention outsiders, even he, a member of the Xingxiu Palace, knew all the joints inside and outside, and spent a lot of energy in order to sneak into this area secretly without alerting other people in the Xingxiu Palace.

Therefore, Lian Ziling judged in his mind that the mysterious existence that appeared in this magma sea in the form of a human-shaped flame was at least not inferior to him in terms of knowledge and experience, and was even better than him.

As for the shape of the humanoid flame he saw, it was very likely that it was similar to him. It was just a special clone arranged by the mysterious existence into this domain.

After the mission is completed, this special clone will naturally return to its true body.

It was precisely because of this thought that he decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to track it.

Thinking of this, Lian Ziling even had a bolder guess in his mind——

[This being is probably not from an outer land, but an outer continent! 】

Because taking into account all the eight wastelands in the Outer Realm, he really couldn't think of any place where he could quietly raise this person without disturbing the Constellation Palace.

There is no such soil!

In this way, there will be a new explanation for "Qihuangzi" and "Qihuangmen".

"This is a spy planted from another continent!"

"And the most important job of these spies is to detect some secret information that is not even known to us without alerting our Constellation Palace!"

In this way, the "Qihuang Sect"'s professional system with different styles will have a more reasonable explanation.

When "Qihuangzi" shared these new professional inheritances for the first time, Qingxuan Sect did not fail to study them deeply.

But in the end, the reason was attributed to the fact that all of this is the result of the accumulation and continuous exploration of the "Qihuangmen" from generation to generation.

But that is because their understanding of the "Qihuang Sect" almost all comes from imagination. As for how the Qihuang Sect was accumulated and how to explore, they have no idea.

At the same time, they also underestimated the difficulty of this matter.

Lian Ziling had a deeper understanding of "Qihuangmen". He knew very well that "Qihuangmen" had not experienced the process of "accumulation from generation to generation and continuous exploration" imagined by Qingxuanzong.

At the same time, his vision is not limited to the corner of the "Juye Wilderness". Standing on the higher level built for him by the Xingxiu Palace, he can better understand the relationship between these and the entire Outer Realm and the Xingxiu Palace. What a difference.

These professional inheritances are self-contained and so complete and beautiful, yet they seem so abrupt and out of place, as if they fell from the sky.

Now, when he connected the source of these inheritances with other continents, all the doubts related to them suddenly disappeared.

This also explains why "Qihuangzi" and other senior officials of "Qihuangmen" would self-destruct so decisively the moment he appeared.

They are actively seeking death!

Because for practitioners, death is certainly scary, but there is something even more terrifying than death, that is when you want to die but fail to do so, that is truly life worse than death!

If I had known this before they blew themselves up, it would definitely have been a different outcome.

With more complete psychological preparation, he will definitely do everything possible to prevent their self-destruction.

wanna die?

Not that easy!

When he realized this, Lian Ziling even felt a little annoyed.

What an opportunity for me to learn more about another continent, I just missed it!

Some monks who were born in the wilderness of the outer world may occasionally have a feeling of being in a cage, and therefore develop an instinctive hatred for the Constellation Palace that caused all this.

But how could they know that a being like him who was already standing at the top of the Constellation Palace would also feel the same way.

And because I stand higher and see more clearly, this feeling becomes more intense.

Finally, he approached the tetrahedral altar and made a careful inspection, confirming that there was no longer a "film" called "Tianchi Star Mud" on the altar's surface. Lianzi Mausoleum no longer stayed and left the magma sea.

Lian Ziling, whose thoughts had already drifted to the outer regions and even outer continents, left the crater with inexplicable emotions and subconsciously headed towards the Wumeng Sea in the Qingxuan Region in the north.

Halfway through, he suddenly woke up.

"What are you going to do? Is this necessary?"

Everything that needs to be discovered has been discovered.

Although the incident happened in this domain, he already knew very well that the source of the incident was not in this domain.

If he wants to continue to search for answers, he shouldn't exert force in this area. It would be completely useless.

"It's time to leave."

At the moment when he made the decision, Lian Ziling felt a little relaxed, but also felt a little hollow.

He himself was confused.

On the one hand, he truly felt that he had gained a lot from this operation.

There are many gains that were not anticipated before taking action.

He even felt that his "world" had become much broader because of this action.

But on the other hand, Lian Ziling felt that he had spent so much time creating a clone at the risk of damaging his foundation, even building a fourth-level physical body into one.

After paying such a huge price, in terms of harvest, there is almost nothing!

None of the expected goals were accomplished.

Come empty-handed, leave empty-handed!

What kind of gain is this? !

"Why!"

In the end, Lian Ziling himself didn't know whether he made a profit or a loss on this trip. He just sighed leisurely and slowly faded into the void.

…

[Cultivation progress +300, eighth level of elixir formation 8825/10,000;

Hanhai Mingyue True Picture experience +10,800, Grandmaster 176,000/320,000. 】

Accompanied by the painter Bai Zhi, Meng Zhou, whose quiet practice could be called lively, did not go out of his way to see Lian Ziling off.

It wasn't until he finished his first retreat at the age of eighty-four without any delay that he repeated his last steps before leaving the five realms.

Compared with Lian Ziling, who was still wondering whether he would lose money or gain from this trip before leaving, Meng Zhou's mood was much more stable.

His biggest mood swing was when Lian Ziling lost his composure and made a sound in the magma sea.

Lian Ziling, who tracked him all the way to the magma sea, had hidden himself very well. Even if Meng Zhou used time to go back, no trace of him could be found.

But when he blurted out "Tianchi Xingni", perhaps his emotions were too intense, and Lian Ziling, who had been well concealed, was exposed.

Meng Zhou could also hear the "Tianchi Xingni" he blurted out across the river of time.

"Does he recognize this object?" Meng Zhou's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the spirit gourd space, and a ball of "Tianchi Star Mud" was quietly suspended there.

This brief trace of time was like a window. What Meng Zhou glimpsed was far more than this bit of information.

What Lian Ziling saw from the traces of time, especially everything about the "Tianchi Star Mud", was taken from the real "subject matter" - the original reproduction of the object he obtained here.

However, except for this fact, all other traces were fabricated by him.

The special human-shaped flame was made up by him, and the time it appeared was also made up by him, in order to make the traces of time here logically consistent with the similarly fabricated traces of time in the "Qihuang Gate" lair in Wumenghai.

These arrangements are not only the need for "the golden cicada to escape its shell", but also a conscious "fishing" test by Meng Zhou.

Although the humanoid flame form was made up by him, it was not made casually, but with very careful consideration and hidden thoughts.

Because before, while looking back at the traces of time in this area, Meng Zhou had discovered two forms of flaming humanoid outlines.

One is the blazing white flame stream. The humanoid silhouette in this form will come here regularly (for sixty years) to collect the "Tianchi Star Mud".

Another kind of flame humanoid, but showing an orange flame flow form.

Not only the difference in form, but also the time of its appearance made Meng Zhou have many doubts about the relationship between the two.

What is basically certain is that the two are not in the same camp. Even if they are in the same camp on the surface, there must be huge contradictions inside.

After confirming that Lian Ziling was the man behind Yan Zhuang, Meng Zhou actually had doubts in his heart.

——The orange flaming man who sneaked in to pick up leaks before the Xingxiu Palace closed the mountain, is it related to Lian Ziling, or is it even possible that it is Lian Ziling himself? !

Therefore, after referring to the two forms of flame people, the blazing white flame stream and the orange flame stream, Meng Zhou created a flame form that had many similarities with the two, but also had its own characteristics.

The pale flames contained a light green color that was cold to the bone marrow and cool to the soul.

To put it more simply, Meng Zhou referred to the nature and form of the "will-o'-the-wisp" in his memory.

At that time, Meng Zhou had two considerations in mind.

Lian Ziling either knows this place or he doesn't.

And by watching his reaction after he fished out the traces of time that he had deliberately buried here, Meng Zhou could indirectly verify the relationship between Lianzi Mausoleum, this altar, and the other two flaming figures.

It turned out that Lian Ziling had no impression of this place.

He didn't even know there was such a place in the Five Realms, and he didn't even know there was such an altar.

Because the strength after seizing the body did not allow it, Lian Ziling did not even dig out the other two flaming humanoids - this required him to go back in time nearly two hundred years ago.

It turns out that Lian Ziling, the "man behind the scenes," has nothing to do with this altar.

This result did not make Meng Zhou feel relaxed, but made him feel even heavier.

"This pool of water is much muddier than I originally expected."

"Yanzhuang, Lian Ziling... now another one appears who is hiding deeper..."

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but have an idea emerge in his mind.

——Lian Ziling is the "man behind the scenes" of Yanzhuang, so is it possible that Lian Ziling is also the puppet of someone who hides deeper? (End of chapter)
