Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 140 Mysterious Cave!
Although Li Xuanfeng brought the Purple Destroying Stick into the Moon Sea Secret Realm, he was unable to use it to gain an advantage over others.
As everyone knows, the higher the quality of a magic weapon, the stronger the spiritual power required to activate it. The spiritual power of a cultivator at a lower level is simply not enough to activate it.
Only when the spiritual power of the person using it is at the same level as that of the magic weapon, will the spiritual power be sufficient to activate the magic weapon. If a person of a lower level tries to activate it by force, not only will he fail to activate the magic weapon, but all the spiritual power in his body may be directly sucked dry by the magic weapon!
But the Purple Destroying Stick is not like that!
The Purple Destruction Stick is extremely sophisticated. Although it has been unlocked to the fifth level by the Five Elements Venerable, Li Xuanfeng can still use it. He just cannot unleash the power of the fifth level.
To use the Purple Destruction Stick, one needs to inject spiritual power into the nine-story tower in the Purple Destruction Space. However, Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power cannot be activated to the fifth floor at all. At this time, his cultivation has reached the perfection of the spiritual foundation, and he can barely activate the second floor and exert the power of the spiritual pill realm.
The subtlety of the Purple Destroying Stick lies here. There is no need to activate all levels. The power of several levels can be exerted as the spiritual power is activated.
This kind of magic weapon is rare in the world and is extremely ingenious!
Venerable Five Elements once suspected that this magic weapon, when it was being cast, started from the spiritual foundation realm, and was continuously added layer by layer to finally create such an exquisite third-realm magic weapon.
Today, Li Xuanfeng can only barely exert the power of the second level, and that is only a small part of the power. Now his spiritual power is still far from fully activating the second level.
While Li Xuanfeng was on his way to the center of the first floor, Chen Gen and the other three had also arrived. Shen Luoyan stopped talking with Wen Xiaowan and immediately swept his eyes over everyone here.
She was looking for the figure in her heart.
To her disappointment, she saw the eldest and second senior brothers, but not the figure she wanted to see.
Shen Luoyan was disappointed. She and Chen Gen came to Senior Brother Zheng Cheng and asked expectantly, "Senior Brother, have you seen Xuanfeng?"
"I haven't seen him. Has he entered the second level?" Zheng Cheng was also wondering. Now the slowest ones have basically arrived. Logically, Li Xuanfeng should have arrived by now.
"Are you talking about the young man in blue who entered the secret realm with you?" At this moment, a young man in gray who was the leader of a group of Tianjian Sect disciples not far away heard their conversation and asked with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"Yes, it's him. Have you seen him? Where is he?" Shen Luoyan asked immediately after hearing it, without carefully observing his expression.
"Then you should hurry back in this direction. You should be able to collect his remains. If it's too late, there might not even be bones left!" The young man in gray had a more sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth. He pretended to be thinking about Shen Luoyan and the others, pointed in a direction, and said in a sarcastic tone.
"What did you do to Xuanfeng?" Shen Luoyan became furious upon hearing this. His perfect spiritual foundation realm cultivation burst out without reservation, and his tone instantly became threatening.
During the two years that Li Xuanfeng was away, Shen Luoyan swallowed the top-grade foundation-enhancing pill he gave her with a hint of reluctance, breaking through her cultivation and entering the late stage of the spiritual foundation realm.
After entering the first level of the secret realm, she accidentally entered a cave while avoiding a ferocious beast. When she opened the stone door, she discovered that extremely pure spiritual power was sealed inside. The concentration of this spiritual power was more than ten times that of the outside world!
Shen Luoyan absorbed the practice with surprise, and in just a moment, his cultivation reached perfection in the Spiritual Foundation Realm. After finally absorbing it, his cultivation was about to break through again, and he was already very close to the Spiritual Pill Realm!
Not only that, Shen Luoyan also found several pill bottles and an pill furnace inside. The rich spiritual power in the cave was released because the pills in the pill furnace were not preserved intact, while the pills in the pill bottles were still well preserved. Unfortunately, he had never seen them before and could not recognize them, so he had to put them in his storage ring first, and prepare to find Li Xuanfeng and let him identify them.
Second senior brother Zhu Lie even took out a giant axe, staring at the gray-clothed young man with his tiger eyes. The spiritual power in his body began to stir, emitting a dangerous aura. If he really dared to harm the junior brother, after asking for the location , he would kill him with one axe!
"You won't let me go? You'd better not cause trouble for the spirit beasts!" The young man continued to mock when he saw the two men were anxious to attack.
"What do you mean? If you keep on talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!" Zheng Cheng, who had always been steady, suddenly said angrily, causing the young man in gray to show a look of fear in his eyes and the sarcasm on his face disappeared instantly.
Although the gray-clothed young man is in the middle stage of Lingdan, Zheng Cheng 's cultivation has reached the perfect Lingdan realm. At this time, other Lingdan perfects have entered the second level. He is already the strongest fighter in the first level. If you make him angry, you will be in big trouble!
"I don't know whether your junior brother Xuanfeng is stubborn or stupid. He actually hunts spiritual beasts everywhere in this secret realm. Is he lucky enough to be alive now?" The young man had to tell the truth and didn't dare to tease Shen Luoyan and the others anymore.
When he saw Li Xuanfeng hunting spirit beasts on the way, he immediately moved away to avoid being attracted by ferocious beasts. He secretly cursed him for being so stupid. He was in the late stage of the Spirit Foundation Realm and dared to hunt spirit beasts in this dangerous secret realm. He was simply asking for his life to be too long.
After hearing this, Zheng Cheng and the others' faces changed and they immediately fell silent. Although this young man was mocking Li Xuanfeng , there were indeed some things he could not refute.
In the first level of this secret realm, even those in the Spiritual Pill Realm have to be cautious. Hunting spiritual beasts is most likely to attract powerful spiritual beasts, or locusts and vultures, which is equivalent to bringing danger to oneself.
Zheng Cheng was helpless. His junior fellow apprentice brother was really a cause for concern. He had no idea what he was thinking and why he chose to hunt spiritual beasts here.
"Senior Brother, let's go pick up Xuanfeng!" Shen Luoyan became a little worried after hearing the explanation from the young man in gray.
Zheng Cheng was a little hesitant. He couldn't use the sound transmission jade slip here. The first layer was so vast. If he went back to look for it and didn't encounter it, he might not be able to find any trace of Li Xuanfeng even after searching for a long time.
After they entered this secret realm, when they wanted to use the sound transmission jade slips to contact their companions, they found that the sound transmission jade slips could not be used here at all. They had to keep searching for their companions as they moved forward.
But if we don't go looking for him, as the gray-clothed young man said, Li Xuanfeng is hunting spiritual beasts and we can't wait here without worry.
"Senior Brother, you lead everyone to wait here. I will go back in this direction to look for it. If I can't find it, I will come back here in three days." Chen Gen saw the concerns of Senior Brother Zheng Cheng and took the initiative to speak.
Wen Xiaowan, who was beside Chen Gen, couldn't help but hold his big hand tightly when she heard his words, and worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.
At the entrance to the second level vortex, for some unknown reason, no ferocious beasts approached. This place was much safer than other places on the first level. We only needed to be on guard against people from other sects.
This place can be said to be the only safe place in the first layer. There are even people who are frightened by the dangers of the secret realm and plan to spend the next five years here safely, and return to the Spiritual Continent when the entrance to the secret realm is opened again.
"Third Junior Brother, your method is very good, but let me go to find Fifth Junior Brother, and you and Second Junior Brother stay here." Zheng Cheng agreed with Chen Gen's method, but did not agree to let him go to find Li Xuanfeng.
"Senior Brother and Junior Sister all need protection. Second Senior Brother and I are not strong enough to protect them. It would be most appropriate for me to go. Let's do it this way." Chen Gen did not give Zheng Cheng the opportunity to go by himself, and the reason he gave made him unable to refuse.
"Okay then, be sure to pay attention to safety." Zheng Cheng had no choice but to agree and instructed.
"Okay, help me protect Xiaowan." Chen Gen said to Zheng Cheng, then patted Wen Xiaowan's hand gently to reassure her.
"I'll wait for you to come back." Wen Xiaowan had no choice but to let go of her hand. With a hint of mist in her eyes, she spoke softly with determination.
She had decided that if he didn't come back, she would wait here.
"If you dare to deceive us, I guarantee that you will not have the chance to leave this secret place!" Zheng Cheng was still a little worried and threatened the young man in gray fiercely.
If he was played around by this young man in gray just to separate them in this dangerous secret place, Zheng Cheng would not be in a good mood to let him go.
"How dare I deceive Senior Brother Zheng? Please rest assured, I am only kindly informing you of the whereabouts of your junior brother." The young man in gray explained hurriedly with cold sweat on his forehead.
If one were to be noticed by a Spiritual Elixir Master, coupled with the dangers in the secret realm, the danger to oneself would increase several times!
In this way, Chen Gen set out to find Li Xuanfeng, while Zheng Cheng and others continued to stay here and wait.
Originally, Shen Luoyan and Zhu Lie also wanted to go together, but were persuaded by the eldest brother and Chen Gen. Because the secret realm was too dangerous, it would be much safer and more convenient to go alone.
At this time, many assembled teams have entered the second level, all led by cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Spiritual Pill Realm.
As for the strong ones in the late and perfect Lingdan realm, except Zheng Cheng, almost no one would bring along their fellow brothers and sisters with lower cultivation. They believed that it would just be a burden and would affect their search for fortune in the secret realm, which would not bring any benefit.
The cultivators in the early and middle stages of Lingdan only gathered a group of people to enter the second level because they did not have enough confidence. When there was danger, they planned to send these fellow disciples to explore the way for them first.
Their mentality is completely different from that of Master Shen Hua and his disciples. They only think of their own interests as the most important thing and do not consider the lives of other brothers at all. The unity of Master Shen Hua and his disciples is completely incomparable to them.
This was one of the few lucky things for Li Xuanfeng. Because of this, he was not only rescued by Shen Hua, but also taken care of by his senior brothers and sisters.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng was still on his way to the center of the first floor. Not only was he not in a hurry, he also suddenly stopped.
On the way forward, Li Xuanfeng kept sending out his spiritual awareness to pay attention to the situation around him. Just as he was speeding past an ordinary mountain, his spiritual awareness suddenly moved and he turned back.
There was a flash of shock in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. He sensed that when he passed by this place, a jade slip in the high tower of the Purple Destruction Space emitted a slight vibration. Although it subsided quickly, it was still noticed by the careful Li Xuanfeng!
At this time he turned back, and the jade slip vibrated slightly again. It seemed that it was only vibrating slightly because the distance was too far.
Although the Five Elements Venerable opened the seal of the Purple Destruction Stick, allowing Li Xuanfeng to inject his spiritual power and consciousness into the Purple Destruction Space, it was in another space after all, and it was extremely rare for this jade slip to emit a slight vibration.
Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but be shocked. This jade slip was the collection of the Five Elements Venerable. How could it vibrate here?
Could this secret place be related to the Five Elements Venerable? But the Five Elements Venerable had never been to this planet before, let alone the Spiritual Continent!
However, at this time, the Five Elements Venerable had already been lying in the tower again and fell into a deep sleep. His body had become much weaker, and was even almost as weak as it was when he created the Five Elements spirit body for Li Xuanfeng. Li Xuanfeng had no way to wake him up to ask the reason.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng discovered that this jade slip was slightly different from the others. The material of this jade slip was extremely ordinary compared to the other jade slips, and it seemed to be completely not on the same level.
Not only is it ordinary, the aura emanating from this jade slip is also more vicissitudes of life, as if it is older than the other jade slips.
While flying around the mountain, Li Xuanfeng used his spiritual sense to carefully sense the vibration changes of the jade slip. He then discovered that the closer he got to the middle of the mountain, the stronger the vibration of the jade slip became.
So Li Xuanfeng slowly approached the halfway point of the mountain, looking for the reason why the jade slip was vibrating.
After a moment, Li Xuanfeng finally found the place where the jade slip vibrated most strongly!
This is a huge rock, dozens of feet high. At this time, the vibration of the jade slip is no longer intermittent, but has been maintaining a strong vibration!
With interest in his eyes, Li Xuanfeng slowly and carefully approached the boulder, only to find that the boulder was extremely ordinary, without any abnormality.
The boulder was covered with moss, and the whole stone had turned green, which was very ordinary.
If the jade slip had not vibrated, Li Xuanfeng would not have noticed such a piece of stone at all.
Li Xuanfeng stretched out his hand and pressed it, exerting force to grab it directly, but found that he only grabbed a piece of moss, and there was not even a trace left on the stone, and no spiritual power appeared at all!
Even with Li Xuanfeng's physical strength at the late stage of spiritual foundation, he did not damage the surface of the stone at all. This is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this stone!
However, the first layer of the Moon Sea Secret Realm is so vast, with innumerable mountains and even more countless stones, as well as ferocious beasts everywhere. No one would pay attention to this moss-covered stone.
Li Xuanfeng was extremely puzzled. Since this stone was so hard, why didn't any spiritual power emerge from it?
With a decisive look in his eyes, he took out the Purple Destruction Stick, condensed the Purple Destruction Sky, and knocked it down with one swipe of the stick!
The purple shadow of the stick instantly hit the boulder, and a large piece of moss fell off, but there was still no trace left on the boulder!
Although Li Xuanfeng was a little restrained when performing the elixir for fear of attracting spiritual beasts, it was still able to reach the power of an early stage spiritual elixir, but it still could not damage the boulder!
Suddenly, Li Xuanfeng had an idea. Since the jade slip was vibrating because of the huge stone, could it be used to open the huge stone?
As soon as the idea came to his mind, Li Xuanfeng started trying it without any hesitation.
He injected his spiritual power into the Purple Destruction Space, and then used his spiritual consciousness to guide the spiritual power into the jade slip. A dazzling white light instantly appeared on the jade slip!
The white light on the jade slip suddenly rushed out, directly passed through the purple annihilation space, appeared in the outside world, and entered the boulder!
Suddenly, countless lines began to appear on the boulder, densely covering the entire boulder, making the originally ordinary stone full of spiritual light and extremely dazzling.
Li Xuanfeng was very familiar with these lines; they were the spiritual power lines that made up the formation!
The lines of the formation on the boulder instantly intertwined, covering the entire boulder, leaving only a ten-foot-wide hole in the center of the boulder.
After a breath, the hole suddenly sank, and a hole appeared in the center of the boulder. It was pitch black inside, as if it could swallow up everyone who entered!
It turns out that this is an independent stone, but because it is hidden by a formation, people with insufficient cultivation cannot find any clues at all.
However, the power of Li Xuanfeng's magic was only at the initial stage of Lingdan Realm, and he was unable to break the formation, so he did not cause any damage to the boulder.
I didn’t expect that this jade slip was actually the jade slip that could open this giant stone formation. It could open this hidden formation in an instant!
Li Xuanfeng stood in front of the hole and sent out his spiritual sense to sense it carefully, but he found that after his spiritual sense entered, it was like a stone sinking into the sea and was actually swallowed up directly!
His face turned slightly pale, as his spiritual consciousness being devoured caused some damage to himself. Fortunately, he was cautious and only released a trace of spiritual consciousness to perceive, so the impact was not great.
There was a gleam of caution in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. Given the Five Elements Master's temperament, it was hard to judge whether this place was dangerous or a blessing, so he shouldn't rush in lightly.
At this time he decided to use a trick he had never used before!
He poured a large amount of spiritual power into the Purple Destroying Stick, and his spiritual consciousness revolved around the Purple Destroying Stick, beginning a transformation!
The Purple Destroyer Stick began to stretch from a stick shape to a wider shape, gradually covering Li Xuanfeng's entire body. Finally, after a few breaths, the Purple Destroyer Stick completely turned into a slightly twisted sphere, and Li Xuanfeng's figure was completely hidden.
This is exactly the method of switching between offense and defense with the Purple Destroying Stick that the Five Elements Venerable used several times when he was fighting against Li Tang who had been possessed by another spirit last time!
However, Li Xuanfeng's conversion speed was too slow. The Five Elements Venerable could convert instantly, but he needed several breaths.
Moreover, the sphere he transformed was not a sphere at all, but just a lump with an uneven and crooked surface. Compared with the round and smooth sphere transformed by the Five Elements Venerable, it was like a crudely made inferior product!
But this cannot be blamed on Li Xuanfeng, as his cultivation was far inferior to that of the Five Elements Venerable at that time.
This was only after his cultivation had reached the level of perfect spiritual foundation and his spiritual power was equivalent to the early stage of spiritual elixir realm, that he was able to barely use the conversion method in the Liejin Jue.
And for now, this is the only simplest defense method we can use.
Li Xuanfeng carefully controlled the ball, passed through the hole in the center of the boulder, and entered the boulder!
As soon as he entered, the stone in the center of the boulder fell down again, completely blocking the hole in an instant, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
Li Xuanfeng was startled and was about to turn around and escape, but the stones had already blocked him!
Inside the sphere transformed by the Purple Destroying Stick, his speed slowed down a lot and was totally incomparable to the speed of the falling stone!
After the stone fell, a light suddenly appeared in the originally pitch-black space, illuminating the space behind the boulder. Li Xuanfeng could see the scene clearly.
This is a very simple cave!
There are only four walls in the cave, with large pieces of text engraved on the left and right sides, but the front and back stone walls are blank. The stone wall at the back is the huge stone that Li Xuanfeng had just entered.
At this moment, Li Xuanfeng's eyes swept across the two stone walls with large pieces of text engraved on them, and suddenly his eyes narrowed!
He discovered that these words recorded a kind of magic, and it was a magic that he had seen before!
