Immortal Palace Longevity

The resources on the first and second levels of the secret realm have been collected. There may be high-level cultivators guarding outside. Of course, the sooner you leave, the better.

But looking at Tang Tianbao's appearance, he doesn't seem to have the intention to leave directly. It seems that there is something else to do?

With this question, Liu Yu frowned secretly.

He didn't want to cause trouble after getting the Sanyuan Fruit. He was eager to go home.

Uncle Yang and the others were also puzzled, but their eyes met briefly. Out of absolute trust in the Son of God, they immediately followed.

"Tap tap"

The seven people rushed all the way, running and jumping in the silent mountains and forests.

Since they met at the Holy Fire Peak, the remaining three people of Tianyi Sect seemed to have left, and there was no trace of them.

When the seven people collected resources, they almost walked through the second level of the secret realm, but they didn't meet them once, nor did they hear any movement, which seemed a bit strange.

After running all the way, Tang Tianbao stopped in front of a small hill less than five miles away from the Holy Fire Peak, looking around and taking in the surrounding environment, as if comparing something.

"This hill is very ordinary."

Liu Yu glanced casually and easily came to the conclusion, somewhat confused.

According to the spiritual perception, the spiritual energy fluctuations on this hill are extremely weak, and there is no spiritual vein. It is really just an ordinary barren mountain.

The height of less than fifty feet is really insignificant compared to the Holy Fire Peak, which is close at hand.

"But Tang Tianbao came here at this time, obviously this mountain hides unknown secrets."

With this thought flashing through his mind, Liu Yu waited silently without saying a word.

He noticed that Uncle Yang, Zishan and others also looked puzzled, but they just watched quietly and didn't say much.

Anyway, even if there are high-level cultivators "blocking the door" outside, they can't get in now. It's been less than a day since the secret realm was opened for four days, and there is still plenty of time to stay here.

"Huh."

Liu Yu's heart moved.

He noticed that Zhou Ziwen's reaction was a little strange. Although he also looked puzzled, he seemed to have other emotions.

This emotion was well restrained, and ordinary cultivators could not detect it at all.

However, how sharp was Liu Yu's spiritual perception?

In addition to his rich experience, he still noticed the difference, the subtle difference between this person and Uncle Yang and others.

But before he had time to think about it, this slight difference had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"Strange."

"Could it be that he...?"

Liu Yu's thoughts turned.

Tang Tianbao squinted slightly, looking around with a serious expression, his pupils were a little scattered as if he was thinking about something.

This person kept walking around, observing some terrain and other things, as if he was confirming an idea in his mind, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The scene was silent, and the six people watched Tang Tianbao busy alone, and this situation lasted about half a quarter of an hour.

Just when someone was about to lose control, he finally stopped and continued to approach the barren mountain, stopping again about three feet away from the foot of the mountain.

"Do you know why the ancestors of the Holy Church established this secret realm?"

Tang Tianbao turned around and asked the six people.

In the common sense of the Holy Fire Church, this question is a bit strange, even a bit redundant.

Even Liu Yu, a cultivator who had just come into contact with the core of the Holy Fire Church, knew that the establishment of the secret realm was to allow the sect to be better passed on and have sustainable development resources to wait for the possible "greatness" again in the future.

"For the inheritance of the Holy Church."

"For the sect to have enough resources to develop."

Without thinking, Uncle Yang, Zishan and others blurted out.

Although there were many different opinions, the meaning was roughly the same, which was to better pass on the sect.

Who knew that after hearing this, Tang Tianbao nodded and shook his head.

He looked up at the barren mountain, with an inexplicable complexity, and said softly:

"You are right."

"However, this is only one of the reasons, the most important reason is not this!"

Hearing this, the six people reacted differently, and most of them were filled with disbelief and suspicion.

"What?!"

Uncle Yang's face changed.

The existence of the secret realm is for the inheritance of the Holy Church. He has heard this for almost two hundred years.

Now that his life is coming to an end, it has been denied to a certain extent?

This made him feel cheated. Something that he had believed in all his life was denied, and he felt indescribable discomfort.

The thoughts of the other people were generally the same.

If providing resources for the Holy Church is only one of the reasons for the establishment of the secret realm, then what is the real reason?

At this moment, Uncle Yang, Zishan and others all raised this question.

Liu Yu also thought of this, but he did not have the same complicated feelings as others. After all, becoming a senior guest of the Holy Fire Church was just a means for him to achieve his goal.

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, Tang Tianbao had no intention of stopping to appease them, but continued to speak:

"Back then, more than 3,200 years ago, the Holy Church was not weak, but rather a relatively strong period."

"At that time, there were three Yuanying ancestors in the church, and their reputation spread far and wide, dominating all directions, and they had the entire Xisha area firmly under their control, and their status was unshakable."

"As for why the mountain gate was breached and it declined overnight, it was definitely not because of the Shenshamen!"

"At that time, the Shenshamen was just a small sect!"

Speaking of this, he was very angry and excited, and his words showed disdain for the Shamen.

He took a few deep breaths before continuing:

"Among the three Nascent Soul ancestors, one is a master of refining weapons, and his attainments in refining weapons have reached an incredible level."

"By chance, this ancestor had the idea of ​​refining spiritual treasures, and received full support from the other two ancestors."

"Things went very smoothly, and the refining of spiritual treasures was close to success, with only the last step left."

"But this last step has not been completed yet."

"And the news that the Holy Church secretly refined spiritual treasures was leaked for some reason, so a shocking change occurred!"

"Seven "The Nascent Soul cultivators concealed their identities and took advantage of the night to suddenly besiege the Holy Church's mountain gate, and a battle that affected the rise and fall of the Holy Church broke out!"

"In the end, the three ancestors were outnumbered, two of them died on the spot, and only the weapon refining master Tianhuo escaped."

"The mountain gate was broken, and the Holy Church began to weaken from then on, and the refining of the spiritual treasure failed."

"The Nascent Soul cultivators who concealed their identities may come from the righteous and evil ways, or they may be other sects in the Seven Nations Alliance."

"But before his death, Tianhuo Patriarch warned not to trace the origins of the seven people."

At the end, Tang Tianbao's tone changed from indignation to calmness.

But this does not mean that the hatred has disappeared, but it is hidden deep in his heart.

Liu Yu looked normal, just listening quietly.

Listening to the rise and fall of the big sect with three Nascent Soul cultivators, he was also full of emotion for a while, and had a deeper understanding of the rise and fall of the immortal forces.

"A sect that was once so glorious and even more powerful than Yuanyang Sect would actually perish overnight."

"This world is full of twists and turns."

"The road to destruction is indeed shorter than imagined!"

Listening to Tang Tianbao's personal narration, Liu Yu felt heavy in his heart, with a solemn feeling of reading history.

The so-called "spiritual treasure" is a kind of existence that surpasses all magic weapons and instruments.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as destroying the world with its power.

Even a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage would find it difficult to find it.

Looking through the classics, even in ancient legends, the number of times spiritual treasures appear is very few.

Once a battle between spiritual treasures occurs, it often changes the pattern of the cultivation world at that time.

Lingbao, like the great power in the Refining Void Stage, symbolizes the peak of this world and was generally controlled by the great power in the Refining Void Stage in ancient times.

It is just that after the ancient war, the entire world of immortal cultivation was slowly declining. After the Middle Ages, there was no more existence of the Refining Void Stage. Only a small number of them were finally mastered by the top cultivators of the Transformation of the Spirit Stage and existed as the highest deterrent force.

After the immortal cultivators reached the Transformation of the Spirit Stage, they could already control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a large scale, and possessed earth-shaking power with every move.

At this time, the increase in strength from general magic weapons was extremely limited, and it was even not as good as the cultivators directly attacking with magic spells.

Only treasures of the level of Lingbao can greatly improve the strength of immortal cultivators after the Transformation of the Spirit Stage.

The reason why Lingbao is so special is that the key lies in the word "spiritual".

Unlike the magic tools used by the cultivators of Qi Refining and Foundation Building, and the magic tools used by the Golden Core Yuanying cultivators, the magic tools and magic treasures are just "dead" things no matter how powerful they are.

Lingbao has "spirituality" and is no longer completely dead.

What is "spirituality"?

Spirituality is a comet that cuts through the darkness in the dark night, bringing light, hope and infinite possibilities!

It is a miracle born out of the impossible in countless ordinary interpretations!

Although the spiritual treasure with "spirituality" is not a real life and has no real wisdom, it is no longer a simple dead object, but an existence that can reverse life and death.

Because of this, the spiritual treasure has all kinds of incredible abilities, and can even mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, which is a natural difference from magic weapons and instruments.

Liu Yu is 84 years old this year, and has been on the immortal road for 77 years. He has heard some gossip about the cultivators in the God Transformation Period, but he has never heard of the news about the spiritual treasure except in the classics.

Of course, it is more likely that his level is too low and he cannot get in touch with too high-level news.

"The birth of each spiritual treasure is a coincidence, and there is no possibility of duplication."

"Even the top refining masters can only refine top magic weapons, but they are at a loss as to how to refine spiritual treasures."

"One is a dead thing, and the other has vitality. The mystery between life and death may not be understood even by the great powers."

"Perhaps, only the great existence of immortals and near immortals can truly reverse life and death!"

"Can the founder of the Holy Fire Sect refine spiritual treasures?!"

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and he gave a negative answer. He was not optimistic about the result of the Holy Fire Sect refining spiritual treasures.

However, if it was because of the spiritual treasure, the demise of the Holy Fire Sect was indeed justified.

The power of the spiritual treasure was too strong. Even if it was just possible to refine it successfully, many cultivators did not want to see it. It was reasonable to unite and destroy the Holy Fire Sect on this ground.

"So after the Holy Fire Sect's mountain gate was breached, what happened to the "spiritual treasure"?"

"Could it be...?!"

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's heart moved.

Although he was sure that the semi-finished spiritual treasure would not be successfully refined in the end, he was aiming to refine the spiritual treasure anyway, so the spiritual materials used should be top-notch, right?

If you can't refine a spiritual treasure, it should be easy to refine it into a magic weapon after refining it.

Moreover, what if you really succeed in refining it?

If you miss the spiritual treasure, you will regret it!

Thinking of this, he admitted that he was moved and was not in a hurry to leave.

Liu Yu never thought that he was a pure "good person" or a pure "bad person".

What good and evil, righteousness and evil are just the definitions of the world. He just wants to be his pure self.

Be your own king!

It is said that the spiritual objects of heaven and earth belong to those with virtue. If the spiritual treasure is really refined, and the Holy Fire Sect is "without virtue", it is reasonable for him to take it.

It was like this three thousand years ago, and it will be like this three thousand years later. This is the rule of this extraordinary world!

Liu Yu acts according to his inner thoughts without any burden or guilt.

"Three thousand years ago, the spiritual treasure was not successfully refined, but it did not fail completely."

"The half-refined spiritual treasure was finally brought out by Tianhuo Patriarch."

"The main reason for the establishment of this secret realm is to continue refining that spiritual treasure and complete what was not completed that year!"

"The core of the third level of the secret realm was built for this purpose. Tianhuo Patriarch arranged the formation and refined the spiritual treasure day and night, hoping that it would succeed one day."

"The Patriarch left a prophecy. Originally, it should not be born at this time."

"It's a pity that the news of the secret realm has been leaked. This place is no longer safe and secret. In order to avoid it falling into the hands of other cultivators, they can only break the Patriarch's arrangement."

Speaking, Tang Tianbao sighed heavily, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"The younger generation disciples are incompetent, and the holy objects are lost. Today, I can only break the Patriarch's arrangement."

"If the Patriarch and all the ancestors know about it, I hope you won't blame me."

Having made up his mind, he put his hands on his chest and performed a salute in the direction of the Holy Fire Peak.

When he looked up after the ceremony, Tang Tianbao's face had calmed down.

He took out the Holy Fire Token without hesitation and slowly cast out the ancient and complicated spells, dozens of them in a row.

As dozens of spells were printed on the Holy Fire Token, the floating token's red light flashed and became more and more dazzling.

Every time it flashed, the light would be stronger, and the speed of the flashing would become faster and faster.

When the red light was as dazzling as a torch, a thick beam of light suddenly shot out and sank into the ground of the hill.

"Boom boom"

"Clatter"

The hill in front of everyone kept shaking and swaying, and the stones and soil on it kept falling down.

With such a close distance, the ground under Liu Yu's feet was also shaking violently, as if an earthquake was about to occur.

"Crack~"

As Tang Tianbao controlled the Holy Fire Token, the hill shook more and more violently, and finally split into two halves in a series of roars, slowly moving to both sides.

Seeing this, Tang Tianbao made a new move, and he continuously launched fireballs, bombarding the open space exposed by the moving hill.

"Bang bang bang!"

The smoke and dust filled the sky, blocking the view.

When the hill stopped moving, the smoke and dust thinned a little, and a two-meter-wide cave opening straight down appeared in everyone's sight.

"Let's go, this is the intersection leading to the core of the secret realm."

"If you have any questions, we'll talk while we walk."

With a sigh, Tang Tianbao turned around and walked towards the entrance first.

"What does that semi-finished spiritual treasure look like?"

"Sword? Spear? Tripod? Flag?"

"What kind of arrangement did the founder of the Holy Fire Sect make inside?"

With many curiosity, Liu Yu followed him in, stepped into the cave entrance and walked straight down.

"Such a rich fire spirit."

As soon as he stepped into the cave entrance, his spiritual sense sensed the rich fire spirit, and this fire spirit was still very active.

As they went deeper, the concentration of fire spirit energy continued to increase, and so did its activity.

On the contrary, spirit energy of other attributes was very thin, and was much "quieter" than the outside world.

"It seems that the spiritual treasure that the Holy Fire Sect wants to refine should undoubtedly be of fire attribute."

Liu Yu had this thought while walking.

This is not difficult to guess. An environment with suitable attributes will have a certain blessing, although the effect on the refining of spiritual treasures is minimal.

"Holy Son..."

Suddenly hearing the reason for the decline of the followers, Uncle Yang and other followers were full of questions, and they asked them one by one at this time.

Liu Yu also had many questions, but he only asked one or two irrelevant questions selectively.

He had only been a senior guest of the Holy Fire Sect for a year. Although he was brought into the secret realm, it was obviously impossible to gain true trust, so he was tactful and did not ask more questions.

But he still heard every word of the conversation between the few people.

After Tang Tianbao's brief explanation, Liu Yu knew that the spiritual treasure that the Holy Fire Sect wanted to refine was a sword, named "Holy Fire Sword".

There are actually two sets of fourth-level formations in this secret realm, one is mainly responsible for maintaining the operation of the secret realm, and the other is mainly responsible for refining the "Holy Fire Sword".

The two sets of formations complement each other, and their power is close to the fourth-level upper grade. Even if a Yuanying period cultivator comes in person, he can't easily break it.

Liu Yu didn't find it strange that the founder of the Holy Fire Sect could arrange two sets of fourth-level formations under such unfavorable circumstances.

After all, there are mutual connections among all the arts of cultivating immortals, just like when he learned to refine pills, he would naturally know a lot about the cultivation of spiritual herbs.

It is necessary to engrave runes or even small formations on the magic tools and treasures to refine the equipment, so the founder of the Holy Fire Sect may also have profound attainments in formations, which is normal.

"In order to ensure the safety of the Holy Sword, the founder of the Heavenly Fire Sect left a will, and this secret can only be passed on orally among the Holy Sons."

"So I'm sorry, everyone, Tianbao did not intend to conceal it."

At the end, Tang Tianbao paused, turned back and bowed, and said seriously.

"Since it is the will of the founder, we must naturally obey it, and the Holy Son does not need to care."

Uncle Yang said first, and the others nodded slightly.

The passage leading to the core of the secret realm is very spacious, but it is pitch black without luminous stones and other lighting objects.

But for the foundation-building cultivators, ordinary darkness has no effect, whether there are lighting objects or not is the same.
