Chapter 774 The opening of the secret realm and the five-color lake
The living room instantly became quiet, and Mo Juren did not put away the things on the table, but made a cup of spiritual tea and began to drink it himself.
He was not kept waiting for too long, and soon Ye Yunge sent back the news that the exchange was agreed to by the superiors, and there was no need to add any other conditions.
This was not too unexpected by Mo Juren. After all, the two ancient treasures seemed ordinary to him, but they were not bad for others. They were enough to exchange for four materials.
Especially at this important moment when the Ye family is trying its best to increase its strength, as long as it is not necessary for itself, why not exchange some materials in stock for ready-made ancient treasures?
Of course, there may not be any intention to win over, as long as Mo Juren is not confused, he can see it.
He didn't take it to heart to win over others, and he couldn't really devote himself to the Ye family, but he remembered these favors.
It is inevitable that the Ye family will suffer in the future, and of course it is self-inflicted. Naturally, it is impossible for him to intervene, but there is no harm in doing what he can when the time comes...
With this thought in his mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately put the things on the table into the Wanhun Gourd.
Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already three days later.
In the early morning, streaks of escaping light suddenly appeared in the sky above Jinjing City. They didn't pay any attention to the unspoken rules against flying, and headed towards the north in a majestic manner.
On a square somewhere inside the imperial city, the square-faced old man couldn't help snorting coldly when he saw this scene, his face looked very ugly.
It is an unwritten rule that monks are not allowed to fly within a thousand miles of Jin capital city, but it is only for those low-level monks. Even the monks in the Danjie stage are not willing to follow it, so why are these old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage?
Although he was well aware of all this, the old man, who was a member of the Ye family, was still a little unhappy when it really happened. This was enough to prove that the attitude of good and evil towards the royal family was not taken seriously at all.
Suddenly he turned his head to look at the cold woman beside him, and asked with an intriguing look:
"The man surnamed Mo rejected our invitation, but agreed to someone else. He must be a man of both good and evil paths. What do you think of this?"
"Second uncle, are you planning to give up on winning over this person?" Ye Yunge did not answer directly, but asked the other person in return.
"It doesn't matter giving up. After all, it was just a little trial before, and we didn't lose much. But this person's performance is too eye-catching, which makes me a little undecided." The square-faced old man frowned.
"Undecided?" Ye Yunge was a little confused. Since the other party was so outstanding, he naturally wanted to continue to win over him, especially since he was from overseas and had a deep relationship with Elder Mo.
With so many prerequisites, why still hesitate?
She had taken the initiative to report Mo Juren's information before, but the family's attitude was very cold. It was not until the auction started and some information was learned that she changed her attitude.
It is a pity that there is no explanation from the beginning to the end, including the second uncle in front of me. It can be seen that there must be some unknown factors.
Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate any longer and directly expressed her doubts.
"Of course there is something hidden in this..." The square-faced old man suddenly showed a look of helplessness and did not hide anything. He then told Elder Mo about his previous opinions and the other party's attitude.
After listening to it, Ye Yunge was immediately stunned. He thought it was for some other reason, but he never thought it was like this!
Elder Mo is indeed related to Mo Juren, otherwise he wouldn't have the same name and surname, and even his appearance is very similar.
However, what I didn't expect was that the relationship between the two parties would be so bad, even to the point of "with him and without me". It's no wonder that the second uncle behaved like that at that time.
"So, you are concerned about Elder Mo's opinion?"
"So be it." The square-faced old man nodded. After all, Elder Mo has clearly joined the Ye family and has invested a lot in the other party. If he is unhappy and chooses to leave because of an uncertain goal, then
It's like drawing water from a bamboo basket with both ends empty.
Now it seems that his idea at that time was correct. After seeing the latter's outstanding performance at the auction, he couldn't help but extend an olive branch to him. However, the other party was obviously not that interested and even deliberately alienated him.
It can be seen that this person is not a suitable recruitment target. His heart is on the side of good and evil, and his original intention to further win over the other party has naturally faded away.
"Okay, let's let this matter go. The secret realm of Pagoda is about to open, so let's not delay." Putting away his thoughts, the square-faced old man no longer struggled, but Ye Yunge's bright eyes flashed slightly and he asked tentatively,
"Since I don't plan to win over the other party anymore, do I still need to follow?"
"You girl, what are you thinking about?" The square-faced old man didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, and then he laughed and cursed angrily,
"Even if the previous mission is cancelled, it doesn't mean that we have to burn bridges. After all, you are also a bloodline of my Ye family, and you are qualified enough to get this opportunity. Of course, I don't need to tell you about the dangers involved. Do you want to go in?"
It’s best for you to decide for yourself.”
"Thank you, uncle, for taking care of me. My niece is willing to take the risk." Ye Yunge answered directly without any hesitation. The square-faced old man burst out laughing when he heard this.
"Yes, are these the children of my Ye family?"
After the discussion was settled, the two of them did not hesitate anymore and immediately jumped into the sky, turning into two escaping lights and flying towards the due north at high speed.
…
"So, the opening location of the secret realm of Pagoda is fixed?" Mo Juren, who was escaping rapidly in mid-air somewhere, suddenly asked the person next to him.
"It's not completely fixed." Kun Wuji shook his head slightly.
"According to records, every time the secret realm of the Pagoda is opened, the entrance is near the 'Five Color Lake' in Mengzhou in the north. It can be anywhere within a radius of more than a thousand miles."
"Five-color lake?" Mo Juren frowned, not really impressed. Seeing this, Kun Wuji immediately took the initiative to explain with a smile,
"Brother Mo is from overseas, so it's normal for him not to know about Five Color Lakes.
Just to the north of Jinjing City, in a mountainous area about 70,000 miles away, there is a peculiar lake. The color of the lake water will constantly change, with green, red, yellow, white and black alternately rotating.
The name Wu Color Lake comes from this.
At first, everyone thought there was some treasure in it, otherwise how could such a strange phenomenon occur? However, the strange thing is that many people have carefully explored it for tens of thousands of years, but unfortunately nothing was found.
It seems to be just an ordinary lake, but how can an ordinary lake be so special? In the end, everyone can only guess that it may have something to do with the secret realm of Pagoda."
"So that's it." Mo Juren suddenly understood, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little curious about this special lake.
A journey of seventy thousand miles was not too far for the two of them, and they had reached the edge of the mountainous area in less than a day.
This place was not far from Five Color Lake, but Kun Wuji in front suddenly stopped escaping light.
Mo Juren was a little surprised, but he saw the other party flipped his palm and a silver token appeared.
He was very familiar with this thing, it was the Buddha Token. However, what surprised him was that the token was obviously different at this time, and the surface actually lit up with a dazzling silver light.
He was a little surprised. He also slapped the Ten Thousand Soul Gourd and took out his own one. Sure enough, it had the same changes as the other's.
He had specifically checked when he was in Jinjing before and found that there was no such situation.
"Only when you are within a thousand miles of the entrance to the secret realm, the Pagoda Order will sense it and display the exact location of the entrance." Kun Wuji explained with a smile, apparently guessing what the other party was thinking.
"You can only feel it if you are within a thousand miles!" Mo Juren couldn't help but secretly complained. This thing was obviously poorly designed, and it was far different from the original Xutian residual map. However, the entrance to this secret realm was basically fixed, so there was no need for it.
Made it so far.
With the input of mana, the silver light on the surface of the token instantly began to distort and change, and actually condensed directly into an illusory map, with a bright light shining somewhere in the center.
"Above Five Color Lake! Let's go there quickly!" After looking at the map, Kun Wuji's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and he continued,
"Even when the secret realm is open, the entrance changes at any time. We must go there immediately."
"There is such a thing!" Mo Juren was a little stunned and did not dare to delay. He quickly turned into a white rainbow and chased after him.
The two continued to set off, and this time they stopped again after only a moment.
What comes into view at this moment is a huge valley basin, with an irregular circular lake in the center, about several hundred feet in diameter, but the lake water is as red as blood, giving people an extremely strange feeling.
Mo Juren was naturally a little surprised. If Kun Wuji hadn't introduced it before, he would have really thought that this was a lake of blood.
About a hundred feet above the lake, a five-color vortex with a diameter of several feet was suspended out of thin air. It was constantly spinning at a high speed, as if the mouth of a giant beast was trying to swallow everything.
"Is that the entrance?" Mo Juren asked in disbelief.
"The so-called entrance is a randomly generated space vortex. If you want to enter it, you must have the protection of the Buddha Order, otherwise even the strong ones in the late Yuanying stage will not be able to withstand it." Kun Wuji's expression condensed slightly, and he continued,
"Let's go, otherwise the entrance will disappear after a while, and then appear at another location within a thousand miles, and you will have to make another trip."
With that said, he directly held the token in hand and rushed straight towards the five-color vortex in mid-air, and then plunged into it and disappeared without a trace.
Mo Juren looked at the token in his hand, and without any further hesitation, he also flew into the air.
The moment he approached the whirlpool, he immediately felt a terrifying suction force, and without any resistance, he was instantly sucked into the whirlpool.
In an instant, he felt an extremely powerful force squeezing from all directions, but was immediately cut off by a layer of silver light shield formed by the token, and there was nothing abnormal anymore.
In just a blink of an eye, he had escaped from the whirlpool, and only now did he realize that he had entered a strange world.
The vegetation is lush, the birds are chirping and the flowers are fragrant, just like a paradise.
This was Mo Juren's first impression of this world.
Looking around, the two of them were now in a mountainous area. There were countless low hills in all directions, which were covered with dense flowers and vegetation, making them appear full of vitality.
What’s even more astonishing is that the concentration of spiritual energy here is extremely high, which is much higher than those of the Holy Vein Spiritual Lands outside.
"What a treasured land in Lingshan Mountain!" Mo Juren sighed with emotion, but suddenly said,
"Is this place really as dangerous as Taoist friends say?"
"This is just an appearance. Brother, please don't be fooled by this. The real danger has not yet been encountered." Kun Wuji looked solemnly and continued,
"Although it is the first time that Kun has entered this secret realm, and all his understanding is limited to the information left by the sect, the dangers here are generally recognized in the world of Dajin cultivators, and there is no way there can be any mistakes."
"The magic power is operating normally, and the spiritual consciousness has not been suppressed. However, it seems to be interfered by some kind of force. It can only be explored at close range, and it becomes blurry when it is far away." Mo Juren sensed it carefully for a while, and frowned slightly.
"It should be caused by chaotic space energy." Kun Wuji nodded and said with an unusually solemn expression,
"The biggest danger in the secret realm here is the ubiquitous space vortex, which appears and disappears anytime and anywhere, which will naturally lead to the leakage of space energy.
Those space vortices are divided into bright vortices and dark vortices. The former is not dangerous. After being sucked in, it will be immediately transported to another place in the secret realm, and you can continue to explore later.
The dark vortex is different. No one knows where it is connected, but one thing is certain. The monks who were sucked into it have never shown up again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Among them, there are quite a few strong ones in the late Nascent Soul stage, so I must not be careless in the journey later."
While speaking, a jade slip appeared in his hand.
After browsing it carefully, he looked around for a moment and suddenly said with a happy expression:
"We found it. We were lucky. We happened to appear near the 'Wanqiu Ridge', which belongs to the western part of the secret realm and is also the area with the smallest probability of space vortex appearing in recorded history."
"Wanqiuling is worthy of its name." Mo Juren looked around again and continued,
"You mean, not only is the entrance to the secret realm constantly changing, but the location after entering is also different?"
"Indeed." Kun Wuji nodded solemnly, thought of something else, and then took out a blank jade slip, made a copy of the information in his hand and handed it directly to the other party,
"Danger may be encountered at any time in the secret realm. Even Kun cannot guarantee that it will be foolproof. This information was accumulated by the ancestors of my Xueqie sect at endless cost, so I will give it to my brother. If something unexpected happens,
, maybe it comes in handy.”
This gift was not light. Mo Juren took a deep look at the other person and wrote down this friendship.
He might refuse other things, but when his own life was involved, it was no joke, so he accepted the jade slip without hesitation.
I was immersed in it, and in a blink of an eye I read all the contents.
At this time, he once again felt the preciousness of this gift. It mentioned too many precautions in almost every detail, and even contained a detailed map of the entire secret realm.
In such a dangerous place, one can imagine how much the ancestors of the Xueqie Clan paid to accumulate their wealth bit by bit.
"Our target is in the area slightly north of the center of the secret realm, which is the circled position on the map. The distance is not close, not to mention the dangers on the way. We must be extremely careful later."
"Can't fly?"
"Theoretically it's possible, but I don't recommend you do that. Even other monks who have learned about the secret realm will not do that." Kun Wuji directly denied it and explained at the same time,
"According to the rules, almost 90% of space vortices appear in mid-air. It is too dangerous to walk from above. It is better to run fast on the ground, and the speed is not slow."
"I see, then let's go quickly!"
Mo Juren nodded, and then the two of them turned into an afterimage and shot forward.
