Chapter 754: Getting there first
The valley is huge.
The valley was filled with black mist, and the surrounding mountains were shrouded in black mist, like a huge monster with its fangs and claws bared.
Even with Qin Ziling's cultivation and spiritual means, he could not see the specific situation in the valley at this time.
However, from the general terrain around it, it can be determined that this is the place depicted on the animal skin map.
"It should be here, but the situation inside is unknown now. You go back to Qiankun Cave Heaven first, and I will go into the valley alone to find the entrance." Qin Ziling said to Lan Ran.
"Okay, be careful." Lan Ran nodded and said with concern.
"Yes." Qin Ziling nodded.
After moving Lan Ran into the Qiankun Cave Heaven, Qin Ziling entered the valley alone.
Not long after Qin Ziling entered the valley, a cold spear suddenly shot out from the black mist. A terrifying, cold and strange aura with extremely violent and cruel brutality followed the spear and attacked Qin Ziling's brain.
Qin Ziling was not at all panicked when he saw this. A cold light flashed in his hand, and a big knife appeared. The big knife was obviously black, but it exuded an incomparably pure and powerful masculine aura, as if there was a flame burning in the knife.
The masculine power of qi and blood is most effective in suppressing this kind of evil and strange power.
Cut it down with one knife.
With a "bang" , the cold spear, which was comparable to the full-strength attack of an eighth-grade true immortal, exploded instantly and turned into black cloud and dissipated.
At the same time, a golden light burst out from between Qin Ziling's eyebrows, and the cold and strange aura that was rushing towards the Niwan Palace in his brain, carrying with it a monstrous, violent and brutal aura, instantly evaporated like water vapor and rolled back.
As Qin Ziling advanced along the way, these kinds of evil demons would appear from time to time, but he was familiar with them and killed them easily.
Two days later, Qin Ziling finally broke through the numerous obstacles of the strange fog and found the entrance to the Twelve Underground Palaces' Mysterious Gate Array.
It was a pile of rocks in the valley.
Mixed among the rubble are some stones of very special material. After long years of erosion, they still retain a few smooth surfaces, as well as some faintly visible ancient texts and runes.
"I don't know whether this Twelve Underground Palaces Formation was built on the ground in the past or was buried underground after a war and crustal changes." Qin Ziling thought as he found a narrow passage between several huge rocks and walked in.
The entrance to the narrow passage is inconspicuous, just like an ordinary crack in a large stone, and it is easy to be overlooked.
But the further you go in, the wider the passage becomes, and there are even huge steps.
The steps are all made of polished ancient jade stones, showing the glory of this place in the past.
After walking nearly a thousand feet, the view in front of us suddenly opened up.
This is an extremely huge underground world.
Although there are broken walls and ruins everywhere and the scene is desolate, just looking at the remaining broken walls that are hundreds of feet high, it is not difficult to imagine how magnificent and grand this ruins once was.
In this ruined underground palace, there stand twelve palaces as majestic as giant mountains.
These twelve palaces are also in ruins, with solidified black bloodstains, traces of knife and axe cuts, and collapsed walls, all of which are the marks left by endless years and fierce wars in the past.
The main parts of the twelve palaces have not been destroyed, and ancient runes are engraved on them.
Those runes were dim in the dark underground world. Apart from their ancient charm, they looked like words written by ordinary people, and there was nothing special about them.
But when Qin Ziling's eyes fell on these ancient runes, he smelled danger.
“Even though this twelve underground palaces mysterious gate formation has gone through countless years, its power is still much greater than the one in the misty sea. If it were intact, even powerful Taoist immortals would be trapped and it would be difficult for them to escape.
Even though it is very incomplete now, if the twelve underground palaces are activated together, it will take at least the strength of a half-way immortal to get out." Fire Dragon said in the Niwan Palace.
"At least the strength of a half-immortal!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard that.
He is now at the eighth level, which is comparable to a powerful ninth-level true immortal. However, he has only been promoted not long ago, so he is still some distance away from becoming a half-way immortal. He needs some time to refine and absorb more precious blood and flesh medicines before he can reach the level of a half-way immortal.
And now Huolong said that he was at least a half-way immortal. Obviously, just reaching the half-way immortal level was definitely not enough.
“Yes, I don’t know who set up these twelve underground palaces. They are very mysterious. Even though they are now broken and have exposed many flaws, I cannot really judge their power unless the twelve underground palaces are activated at the same time.
"Half-Daoxian is just a conservative estimate, maybe he can trap Daoxian, so you'd better not touch the two underground palaces of Sheti Ge and Zhixu." Fire Dragon said.
"That's such a pity. According to what you said, there must be great treasures hidden in those two underground palaces." Qin Ziling said.
"You can't get in with your current strength, but maybe you can get in after a few years." Fire Dragon said disapprovingly.
Qin Ziling smiled without comment, then carefully inspected each underground palace, and then returned to the starting point.
"Ju Gongyan is right. Among the twelve underground palaces here, the weakest ones are 'Kundun', 'Dahuangluo', 'Xieqia' and 'Qingtan'. Then there are 'Zuo', 'Yanmao', 'Chifenku', 'Shanyan', 'Dunzhang', 'Dayuanxian', and then 'Zhixu' and 'Shetige'." Qin Ziling said.
The power rankings of the following eight underground palaces were calculated based on his own observations.
"Your formation skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, and your inference is correct." After listening to it, the Fire Dragon could not help but admire.
"Since what the senior said is correct, then it must be correct." Qin Ziling smiled faintly, then headed towards the "Xieqia" underground palace.
"Kundun" and "Dahhuangluo" had been looted by Ju Gongyan not long ago, and their value was very small. Even if they were to be found, they had to be arranged later.
Harmony, harmony of yin and yang, all things come into being.
When Qin Ziling broke in, the divine beast Fu Chi rushed out from the underground palace.
Fu Chi is an ancient sheep, but it has nine tails, four ears, and two eyes on its back.
When Qin Ziling broke in, flaming fire swords and cold ice swords shot out from its eyes and four ears, with power as great as that of a ninth-grade immortal.
However, Qin Ziling easily defeated him and broke into the "Xieqia" underground palace.
Not long after entering the "Xieqia" underground palace, Qin Ziling's expression suddenly changed.
"Someone has already got there first!"
Qin Ziling made a prompt decision to withdraw from the "Xieqia" underground palace and immediately broke into the "Qingtan" underground palace.
There are signs that the "Qingtan" underground palace has been searched.
Qin Ziling withdrew again and broke into the "evil" underground palace.
The "evil" underground palace has actually been searched by someone.
Qin Ziling was naturally unwilling to give up, so he withdrew from the "Zuo'e" underground palace and continued to go down to the "Yan Mao" underground palace, which he believed was ranked sixth in power.
When the eunuchs are luxuriant, all things are covered and grown.
The "Yanmao" underground palace was desolate, dark and lifeless.
But in a corner of the underground palace, there is a ray of light rising into the sky, and the place is full of vitality.
Not only that, there was a group of people standing in that area.
