Immortal Palace Longevity

There is a saying that no matter how difficult a task is, as long as you do it without distractions, you are already halfway to success.

There is also a saying that if you walk a hundred miles, you have to walk ninety miles before you can be considered halfway.

Liu Yu deeply agrees with both of these sayings.

So even when he reached the 999th step, with only one step left to leave the black stairs, he still did not let his guard down.

Go all out!

With one step, the mental pressure reached its peak, and every thought turned very slowly.

In an instant, the familiar dizziness came again, and the most powerful illusion came.

One moment, two moments...

But Liu Yu went all out, and after half a breath, he woke up and reached the end of the black stairs.

"Step"

He took a step and completely left the stairs.

Standing in the huge alien palace, Liu Yu, who had not entered the true body state, looked extremely small at this moment.

The palaces in front of him were like mountains, waiting for him to climb and surpass.

"Hu~"

After taking a step forward, the mental pressure suddenly disappeared, Liu Yu let out a long breath, feeling particularly relaxed physically and mentally.

He looked far into the distance, looking at the situation in the ancient forbidden land. With his extremely sharp five senses, he could faintly hear the sound of fighting coming from the depths of the forbidden land.

It must be that the three great true masters and the five great demon kings who entered first were fighting for the treasures in the forbidden land.

"The road to refine the mind..."

On the stone tablet on the left side of the road, three large characters were written in foreign languages, and Liu Yu read them out softly.

In addition to the three large characters, there are two lines of small characters the size of sesame seeds, explaining the function of this black staircase.

Because he wanted to understand the secrets of the ancient times, he often read ancient books, and the immortal cultivators could remember everything they saw, so they had already learned the languages ​​of all the ancient races.

After all, Liu Yu is now more than 400 years old, and he spends a lot of time studying the secrets of the ancient times.

He stayed where he was, without making any rash moves, and looked at the stone tablet carefully.

As expected, this ancient forbidden land was indeed built by the great power of the two-headed tribe. The black stairs that we just walked through were called "the road of refining the mind".

In ancient times, the main function of the road of refining the mind was to test the members of the two-headed tribe.

Only those who have cultivated to the peak of the fourth level and walked through this road in one breath are qualified to receive the resources of the transformation of the spirit from the two-headed tribe.

"The road of refining the mind."

"Test will and Tao heart."

"So that's it."

After reading the stone tablet, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with understanding.

He had long been surprised that although it was very difficult to pass the road of refining the mind, it seemed that there was no danger, and as long as you exited in time, you could get out of it safely.

If it was just for the test, everything would make sense.

"It seems that my character and will have reached the requirements of impacting the bottleneck of transformation of the spirit."

"With the help of spiritual objects such as the "Illusion Heart Flower", I should have a greater chance of passing the heart demon tribulation of transformation of the spirit."

This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

It must be said that he did gain a lot from the test of the road of refining the mind of the two-headed tribe.

After the tempering of the 1,000-level Refining Heart Road, I deeply realized what deficiencies there were in my character, so as to avoid disasters when I was impacting the spirit transformation in the future.

It is not too late to face up to my own shortcomings.

There is no such thing as a natural saint. Life is all about growing up in setbacks and pain.

"Should I explore the forbidden area alone first, or wait for Huang Mei and Mo Mei?"

After this thought flashed through his mind, Liu Yu turned around and looked at his teammates who were climbing hard.

Both of them performed well. At this time, Huang Mei was at the 739th level and Mo Mei was at the 731st level.

Judging from this speed, it is not small that they can pass the Refining Heart Road. It is just a matter of time.

The "Refining Heart Road" of the Double-Headed Clan is mainly a test of character.

In this era of scarce resources, except for very few individual cases, those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm will not have too many problems in their character.

Great monks are even better among them.

"One more teammate will bring many benefits."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu decided to wait.

Because the five of them entered the forbidden area relatively late, some powerful teams had already gone ahead.

Looking around, although he became the ninth cultivator to pass the Heart Refining Road, there were still many powerful True Lords and Demon Kings who were close to the finish line because of the late climbing time.

Looking around, there were already more than ten True Lords and Demon Kings after the 900th level, and their cultivation was all in the late fourth stage without exception, and there were several peak fourth-level cultivators.

And there were more than 20 between the 700th and 800th levels, most of whom were in the late fourth stage, with only a few in the middle fourth stage.

In this case, after entering the forbidden area, those powerful teams can still act as a team.

In this way, fighting alone would be too disadvantageous.

After all, the strongest people of various races present had a cultivation level of at least the fourth level, and those who could pass the Heart Refining Road were the best among them, so they should not underestimate the heroes of the world.

"It seems that even in the ancient times, it was difficult to obtain resources to reach the fifth level of transformation."

As this thought flashed through his mind, Liu Yu got a glimpse of the situation in the ancient times.

This is not surprising. Just like it is becoming increasingly difficult to advance in the path of cultivation, high-level resources have always been much scarcer than low-level resources.

The resources to reach the fifth level of transformation are not easy to come by, so the Shuangshou Clan has to set up the Heart Refining Road to test its members.

Not only this clan, but also the human clan and the demon clan are also like this.

The rarest resources are always provided to the most outstanding descendants first. Only the most outstanding ones in each generation can receive the highest priority training from the sect and ethnic group.

Looking at the alien palace and listening carefully to the movements in the depths of the forbidden area, Liu Yu stood beside the stone tablet and waited quietly for his two teammates.

He quietly released his consciousness, but the next moment he felt something was wrong.

One hundred and twenty miles after the spiritual consciousness left the physical body, it was actually difficult to move forward at all.

"The spiritual consciousness that can reach more than 1,200 miles in the outside world can only be released for 120 miles in the ancient forbidden land."

"What a powerful suppressive force."

Feeling the suppression of spiritual consciousness here, Liu Yu frowned.

He was used to being able to grasp all situations as soon as his consciousness came out. This feeling made him slightly uncomfortable.

The ancient forbidden land was at least a thousand miles in radius. After the spiritual consciousness was suppressed to a hundred and twenty miles, it meant that he could not control the overall situation anytime and anywhere.

In the secret realm, there is a magic circle that suppresses divine consciousness, which Liu Yu had already expected.

But it is still a bit surprising that the suppression is so powerful.

"But fortunately, just restricting the separation of spiritual consciousness from the body will not weaken the power of one's own spiritual consciousness, and the power of spiritual consciousness attacks will not be affected."

Frowning and then relaxing, Liu Yu shook her head slightly. .

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

While he was waiting, another ten breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

A thin demon cultivator with thick red hair and a black tail on his butt finally reached the finish line.

This demon looks thin, but whether it is the evil spirit it exudes or the long claws on its hands, it shows that it is definitely not easy to mess with.

"Blood Leopard Demon King"

With a glance, relevant information suddenly appeared, and Liu Yu instantly recognized the demon's identity.

The Blood Leopard Demon King is from the blood leopard clan of the spirit demon bloodline. His cultivation level is at the peak of the fourth level, and his strength is definitely the strongest among the peak demon kings.

Despite his "humble origin", because of his powerful strength, his status among the demon clan in southern Xinjiang is still comparable to that of the deceased "Feng Jiuxiao".

Sensing Liu Yu's unabashed gaze, the Blood Leopard Demon King looked up through the Lianxin Road.

Their eyes met, one person and one monster were fighting, and a dangerous aura instantly filled the air.

It seemed like the next moment, there was going to be a big fight.

"..."

It was obvious that his cultivation level was superior, but after looking at each other for half a breath, the Blood Leopard Demon King still looked away first.

He walked to the other side and waited silently for his teammates.

Although this demon was obviously superior in terms of cultivation, Liu Yu reached the finish line first, in about the same time as the three true kings and the five demon kings, but it made him extremely fearful.

I don’t want to fight easily unless necessary, let alone a fight of emotions.

To a certain extent, this can be considered a concession.

Liu Yu was not aggressive and looked away when he saw this, and continued to look at Lianxinlu.

On the thousand black steps, strong men of all races were climbing hard, and every step was difficult and heavy.

In fact, if you want to get rid of your competitors, now may be a good opportunity.

Before, during and after the climb, Liu Yu had this idea more than once, but every time his spiritual sense would warn him, as if something bad would happen if he took action.

He has always believed in spiritual perception, so after weighing the pros and cons, he still suppressed his thoughts in this regard.

Not only Liu Yu, but those who can cultivate to the fourth level are not fools. They may also have a premonition, so they gave up the opportunity to eliminate their competitors and tacitly agreed not to take action.

In this way, everyone remained on high alert and the climb was generally uneventful.

As time goes by, one strong person reaches the end.

There are true kings and demon kings who are powerful, or they want to seize the opportunity and choose to enter the depths of the palace first.

There are also people who make the same choice as Liu Yu and the Blood Leopard Demon King, standing at the end of the heart-refining road and waiting for their teammates.

At the end of the Heart Refining Road, the people waiting were far apart, and their eyes occasionally met with each other, all with deep vigilance.

No matter what the relationship is with the outside world, everyone is a competitor here, and all the true kings and demon kings know this.

What bullshit friendship and racial justice are not worth mentioning in the face of cold interests!

…

"Hiss~"

Fifteen breaths later, Huang Mei passed the heart-refining path first and took the last step with sweat profusely.

With a look of relief on his face, he let out a long breath of relief.

But sensing the powerful auras around him, the next moment the person's body tensed up, not daring to relax for a moment.

Just because everyone around him has spiritual pressure that is at least as powerful as Huang Mei, and there are many who surpass him.

The realm of a great monk is very important to the Seven Nations Alliance.

But here and now, he can only be regarded as a "person". If he wants to be powerful, he must consider his own strength.

"Fellow Taoist Qingyang."

After adjusting his mentality, Huang Mei quickly recovered and came to his side with a hand in hand to say hello.

Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness communicated with Huang Mei the information he had observed while continuing to wait for Mo Mei.

After two more breaths, Mo Mei finally passed the path of mental refining.

"Sorry to keep you two fellow Taoists waiting."

After barely passing the path of mental refining, Mo Mei seemed to have consumed a lot of energy, and her condition didn't look good, so she reluctantly cheered up and handed it over.

"It doesn't matter, sharpening the knife will keep you from chopping wood."

Liu Yu smiled.

The combat power of a great monk was a big boost even to him now, and it was definitely not something he could give up just because he wanted to.

Immediately, Liu Yu's expression became solemn, and Huang Mei and Mo Mei immediately understood.

The next moment, the three of them turned around and ran wildly along the road after the Refining Heart Road without saying a word, gradually disappearing in the eyes of the True Lords and Demon Kings.

"Boom boom"

Everywhere in the secret realm, there were roars of fighting from time to time, and powerful auras were surging.

"Tap tap"

Running wildly along the road, the three saw ruins along the way, all of which were destroyed not long ago.

Even if they were not destroyed, the relatively well-preserved foreign buildings also had obvious traces of being explored, and wisps of aura had not completely dissipated.

"Tap~"

Running wildly all the way, the three of them stopped suddenly at the intersection at the end of the road.

Although the ancient forbidden land is wide, there are only twelve roads leading to the depths of the secret land.

But because of the late departure and the loss of the first opportunity, there are auras left by the True Lords or Demon Kings on each road.

To go to the depths of the forbidden land, you must choose one of them.

If you encounter a great monk or a great demon king, it's okay, but if you encounter the three great True Lords and the five great demon kings, the situation will be bad.

Seeing this, Huang Mei and Mo Mei's thoughts turned rapidly, and they looked around alertly.

But in the end, both of them did not say a word to express their attitude, leaving the choice to Liu Yu.

The strongest one naturally has the most say!

Standing in front of the intersection, Liu Yu looked around expressionlessly, and his spiritual consciousness and perception had already spread out.

Unless it was necessary, such as competing for the opportunity to transform into a god, he did not want to fight with the three great true monarchs and the five great demon kings, so it was better to avoid them if possible.

A blue spiritual light flashed in his eyes. Under Liu Yu's keen perception, the subtle breath and even the aura left by the true monarchs and demon kings were all visible in his eyes.

"Let's take this one."

After pausing for two breaths, sensing the breath on the roads, Liu Yu said lightly.

The next moment, he took the lead and rushed to the third branch road on the left.

"Ta-ta~"

Entering first can certainly seize the initiative, but facing the unknown dangers in the forbidden area and searching for treasures step by step, the speed will inevitably slow down.

And later, because the road had been searched, the speed would not be much slower.

In this case, it was only a matter of time before the two sides met.

"Swoosh~"

Liu Yu was in front, Huang Mei and Mo Mei were on the left and right behind, and the three of them all used spells such as "Light Body Technique" and "Wind Control Technique", so the speed was not slow.

In just half a quarter of an hour, they ran hundreds of miles.

Of course, the buildings along the way had been searched at least once. With the insight of the Yuanying cultivator, they could feel it without stopping, so they did not stop at all along the way.

While running, the three of them looked solemn, and their eyes and consciousness scanned the surroundings again and again.

They all knew that it was only a matter of time before they encountered a strong enemy. Everyone entered the forbidden area for treasures, and it was impossible for them to live in peace.

"Boom~"

As time passed, the roars from all directions became more and more frequent. It seemed that the True Lord and the Demon King had already started a fierce battle.

In front of Liu Yu and the other two, the roars were getting closer and closer.

When they advanced two hundred miles, four fourth-order late-stage spiritual pressures were sensed by the spiritual sense for the first time.

"Step"

The three of them paused, looked at each other, and then resolutely continued to move forward.

They all held real treasures, and the magic power in their bodies was running secretly, and they could strike with all their strength at any time!
