Chapter 81 Entering the trial field and acting separately
"Rumble..."
The Piaomiao Sect is in turmoil.
After fifteen years, the heaven-level trial ground and the Demon Nest of the Nether Cave finally ushered in the opening day.
The main peak in the center is crowded with people, and pairs of eyes full of solemnity are staring at the giant monument of 100 feet.
Unlike entering other trial grounds, this time everyone was not only expecting but also cautious.
Everyone knows that the danger factor of the Ghost Cave Demon Nest is very high.
"It's coming, it's coming, I've been waiting for more than ten years."
"Youku Demon Nest, once you enter it, you should be able to intuitively feel the appearance of Youyuan Prefecture in the past years."
"Yes! Speaking of Youyuan State, it is really a pity. If they are allowed to continue to develop for three hundred years, they will definitely give birth to forces that are comparable to our seven major sects in the Eastern Wasteland."
“I don’t know what kind of good fortune I can get this time.”
"..."
While everyone was looking forward to it, the team from Nirvana Hall also arrived at the main peak square early.
Led by Lou Qing, Chang Qing, Lan Meng, Guan Xiang, and Xiao Nuo, there are almost thirty disciples in the Nirvana Hall.
Their appearance involuntarily attracted the attention of people from the other four surrounding halls.
"Huh? Nirvana Palace? What's going on?"
"Where is the Nirvana Hall? I have received the news. The top leaders of the sect have issued a notice to abolish the Nirvana Hall."
"Yes, I have also heard that the third elder personally issued the document. A few days ago, I saw Deputy Hall Master Tang Lie taking people to the Nirvana Hall."
"Hey, it's a good thing to abolish the Nirvana Hall. They no longer exist."
"Doesn't it exist? I don't think so. For eight consecutive years, it was the people of Nirvana Palace who brought the insult of Tiangang Sword Sect back to Piaomiao Sect."
"..."
The two words Nirvana Palace and ‘shame’ have been bound together.
When people in the other four halls see the people in Nirvana Hall, they will think of Ying Wuya's tragic defeat eight years ago, the loss of the Sky Burial Sword, and the seven geniuses who died under Feng Hanyu's sword...
Even though what Xiao Nuo did in Holy Tree City not long ago caused quite a stir, it was still not enough for people to re-accept the Nirvana Palace.
"Xiao Nuo..." At this time, a slender and graceful figure came in front of everyone in the Nirvana Hall.
The visitor was none other than Mu Yue'er from Taihua Palace.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, and it turns out you're here! What, do you want to form a team with us? The Demon Nest in the Underworld is very dangerous..."
Xiao Nuo smiled politely and then shook his head, "No, we have our own team."
"Huh?" Mu Yue'er looked at Lou Qing, Lan Meng and the others beside Xiao Nuo, and she subconsciously asked, "Are all the people from Nirvana Palace here?"
As we all know, there are only twenty or thirty people left in the Nirvana Hall.
"Junior Brother Xiao Nuo wants to carry out the sect's mission with us..." Guan Xiang opened his mouth to explain.
"Sect mission?" Mu Yue'er was even more puzzled. "What do you mean?"
A young man standing behind Mu Yue'er opened his mouth and asked, "Are you trying to achieve the sect's contribution points?"
"Eh?" Mu Yue'er turned to look at the other party, "Senior Brother Songfeng, what are you talking about?"
Song Songfeng chuckled with amusement, and said, "Junior sister Yue'er doesn't know, right? Because the Nirvana Hall has had zero sect contribution points for three consecutive years, the third elder has ordered the abolition of the Nirvana Hall. If they want to keep Nirvana,
If you want to join the palace, the first thing you have to do is make up for the three years of contribution points..."
"Isn't it? The contribution points in three years are 30,000 points!"
Mu Yue'er was shocked, obviously she didn't know about this yet.
Thirty thousand points, ten thousand points a year.
This is only the lowest standard. Like the other four temples, the contribution points they bring to the Piaomiao Sect every year are far more than this number.
But the Nirvana Palace is different. Based on the current situation of the Nirvana Palace, it is difficult to achieve the basic contribution points of 10,000 points per year.
The most important point is that there are only the last ten days left in the Nirvana Palace.
"Haha, it's a bit funny. If you want to complete 30,000 contribution points in such a short time, is there something wrong with your brain?" Another man from Taihua Palace sneered.
The group of people in the Nirvana Hall were obviously uncomfortable when they came into contact with the strange looks in their eyes.
"Everyone, this is our Nirvana Palace's own business. It's not your turn to point fingers!" Lou Qing's voice was filled with coldness.
Mu Yue'er quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
She then glared back at the two talkative senior brothers behind her, "You can't stop saying a few words."
Then, Mu Yue'er smiled apologetically at Xiao Nuo, "Let's go there first."
Song Songfeng and another person wanted to respond to Lou Qing, but they were forcefully pushed away by Mu Yue'er.
Although Mu Yue'er also felt that the people in Nirvana Palace were too naive, but after all, Xiao Nuo was here, and she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness with Xiao Nuo.
However……
After a while, most of the people in the main peak square were talking about the Nirvana Hall.
"Huh? To make up for three years of contribution points? Is there any serious illness? I remember that it took us two months to reach 10,000 contribution points in Yuanlong Palace. If he reaches 30,000, doesn't it take six months?"
"What six months? Look at how many people are left in Nirvana Hall? Look at how many people are left in Yuanlong Hall?"
"I can't wait that long. I heard that the third elder only gave Nirvana Hall half a month. After half a month, Nirvana Hall will no longer exist."
"What did I say? All the people from the Nirvana Palace are mobilized. I am here to 'pursue dreams'. Hey, daydream!"
"..."
Listening to the sounds around them, the faces of everyone in the Nirvana Hall became increasingly ugly.
You don't need to think about it to know that this must have been spread by those people in Taihua Palace.
Lan Meng's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and dug her fingernails into her flesh. She originally thought this matter was extremely difficult, but now that she was hearing these sharp words on the court, she felt even more complicated.
"rumble!"
Suddenly, there was a deafening storm in the sky.
I saw a majestic air current centered on the 100-foot stone tablet, surrounding it in a spiral.
"Buzz!"
Waves of spiritual energy rippled across the sky and the earth, and streaks of aurora lightning flashed across the surface of the 100-foot stone tablet.
"Chichi..."
The auroras gathered together and then turned into a spectacular beam of light that shot straight into the void.
"Bang!"
The vast tide spread across the world, the clouds tore apart, and a dazzling and mysterious talisman light array suddenly appeared above the stone monument.
The talisman light array is like a huge stone plate. It rotates slowly and then sheds a rainbow-like channel to the ground.
"The Cave Demon Nest...is officially opened!"
In the sky, thick clouds gathered, and a figure of immortal wind and a crane appeared in the sky, and then the majestic and solemn voice invaded everyone's eardrums.
"This is the second elder's voice..." someone exclaimed.
"Well, it is indeed the most dangerous heaven-level training ground, and the second elder is actually responsible for it himself."
"..."
The second elder's voice came again.
"The cave monster nest is very dangerous. You must think twice before entering."
"This time the Underworld Demon Nest will be opened for ten days!"
Ten days!
Hearing this, the whole place was in an uproar.
The hearts of everyone in the Nirvana Hall could not help but tighten, and their time was once again compressed.
This is really adding insult to injury!
The second elder stood in the sky, overlooking the people below.
"Enter!"
The sound of entering the room ignited the atmosphere of the whole place. In an instant, the dark figures were like a school of fish rushing towards the sea, rushing forward one after another.
"Whoosh!"
"call out!"
As soon as everyone touched the rainbow-like passage, they were immediately sucked into the talisman light array in the void.
Lou Qing looked firmly at Xiao Nuo, Chang Qing, Lan Meng, Guan Xiang and the others.
"Walk!"
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone in the Nirvana Palace immediately entered the Demon Nest of the Deep Cave.
On a peak in the south.
Elder Xiu, Deputy Mo Huayuan of Yuanlong Palace, Deputy Head of Taihua Palace Lin Ruyin and several other sect senior officials stood here, looking at the opened heaven-level trial field.
"The Nirvana Palace is really a group of people who don't know the heights of heaven and earth. This kind of behavior can't even be considered temporary support." Mo Huayuan said with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Lin Ruyin said, "The dissolution of Nirvana Palace is a foregone conclusion. I wonder if that Xiao Nuo is willing to come to our Taihua Palace..."
The elder Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said cheerfully, "I probably won't go."
"Oh?" Lin Ruyin was confused and asked, "Did he agree to the invitations from the other three palaces?"
"is not what it means……"
"what is that?"
"What I mean is that the Nirvana Palace may not be exhausted yet."
…
The cave monster nest!
This is a dark world!
The desolate mountains are like giant dragon skeletons that have been stripped of their scales and drained of flesh and blood.
Abyss, grottoes, forests, swamps, and areas all present a dark tone.
Youyuan Prefecture was once full of spiritual energy and vitality.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy here has long been lost, replaced by the dangerous evil spirit with a fishy and cold aura.
At this moment, Xiao Nuo, Lou Qing, Chang Qing and other Nirvana Palace disciples appeared on a high ground. Surrounding them were deep barren valleys...
There are many in the deserted valley
There are many corpses of ferocious beasts, as well as human bones.
Even though those corpses and withered bones had been dead for a long time, the sight in front of them still sent chills down the spine.
"Where to go next?" Guan Xiang asked.
Everyone looked at Lou Qing.
As the eldest senior brother in Nirvana Hall, he is like the leader of the team. As long as he is there, the team will not disperse.
Lou Qing turned around and faced everyone. .??.
"The Ghost Cave Demon Nest will only be open for ten days. Our time is limited, so I want you to act separately..."
As soon as these words came out, Chang Qing, Lan Meng and others all looked tense.
There are many dangers in the Ghost Cave Demon Nest. If you act separately, the danger level will increase by one point.
But at this point, they have no better choice.
"Lan Meng, Guan Xiang, you two are in a group. Chang Qing, Xiao Nuo, you are in a group. I am in a group alone, and the others are in groups of four or five..."
Lou Qing distributes the road.
Xiao Nuo said, "I will also be in a group alone!"
"Junior brother, it's very dangerous here. There are multiple people and multiple caregivers..." Guan Xiang advised.
Xiao Nuo shook his head, "It's okay, senior brother Chang Qing can bring others and form an extra group!"
Lou Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "If you are confident of protecting yourself, then just do as you say!"
Later, Lou Qing distributed the scroll filled with task lists and a signal arrow.
"If you encounter an emergency that cannot be solved, send out a signal arrow. People nearby will receive the signal and go to support immediately."
"clear!"
After the solemn explanation was completed, everyone in the Nirvana Hall immediately dispersed.
…
"Woo!"
"Roar!"
In the distance, the mountains tremble.
The forest is dark and lightless.
The Heaven Level Trial Field is now in full swing.
The disciples of the Piaomiao Sect have entered various places in the Demon Nest of the Deep Cave, and most of them have even begun to fight with the vicious demons here.
At this moment, Xiao Nuo entered an unknown mountain.
The rolling hills look like evil dragons, and a terrifying roar of beasts can be heard in the distance.
Not long after, Xiao Nuo passed by a large cave.
This cave is connected to a deep underground valley.
"The bottom of this cave should be the 'Eclipse Flame Valley'. If nothing else, you should be able to find 'Purple Sun Grass' inside."
Xiao Nuo murmured to himself.
Last night, everyone in the Nirvana Hall also made a lot of preparations.
Lou Qing tried his best to collect some intelligence information about the Demon Nest in the Dark Cave.
Ziyangcao is on the task list issued by the sect.
If a purple sun grass is given to the sect, it can be exchanged for 100 points of contribution points.
Without much hesitation, Xiao Nuo dodged directly into the cave.
In less than half an hour, Xiao Nuo successfully arrived at the Eclipse Flame Valley.
This is an underground valley with dark light.
There are round stones everywhere on the ground.
The internal area of the Eclipse Flame Valley is quite wide, both in terms of the distance between the stone walls on both sides and the height of the ground and overhead.
After some searching, Xiao Nuo successfully found a purple sunflower plant.
The purple sunflower plant grew quietly in a remote stone crevice. It was about the height of a chopstick and had four petals. Each petal was like a burning purple flame.
"What a rich spiritual power..."
Xiao Nuo showed a hint of joy.
A purple sunflower plant is worth a lot of money, and many expensive elixirs require the use of this medicinal material.
Xiao Nuo carefully dug out the purple sunflower root and roots, then stuffed it into a cloth bag and put it away.
In this way, one hundred sect contribution points are obtained.
Xiao Nuo continued to move towards the depths of the Erosion Flame Valley. The sect continued to need things like purple sun grass.
If you can find more purple sungrass, you can add sect contribution points.
Of course, it takes two or three years for a purple sunflower plant to take shape, and Xiao Nuo is not sure whether he can still find it.
At this time, the voice of the Hongmeng Golden Pagoda Spirit sounded in Xiao Nuo's ears.
"There is a strong spiritual energy fluctuation inside. Go in and take a look. There should be a treasure!"
"Oh?" Xiao Nuo's eyes lit up slightly, "What baby?"
"I'm not sure what it is, you'll know if you go and take a look."
"good!"
There was some expectation in Xiao Nuo's heart.
His purpose in entering the Demon Nest of the Nether Cave was not only to obtain contribution points for the Nirvana Palace, but also to search for opportunities.
Whether it is to protect the Nirvana Palace or to strengthen
themselves are extremely important.
"Ta! Ta!"
Xiao Nuo's footsteps stepped on the stones, making a slight sound.
The huge Erosion Flame Valley was like the deep, dark mouth of an ancient giant python, and Xiao Nuo walked all the way into the depths.
"That is?"
Suddenly, Xiao Nuo's pupils shrank, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
What appeared in front of Xiao Nuo's eyes was a Taoist platform covered with devastation and overgrown with weeds.
The platform is octagonal and more than 100 meters wide.
There are more than a dozen spacious steps on each of the eight sides of the countertop.
However, what shocked Xiao Nuo was that there was a huge skeleton on the Taoist platform...
Judging from the shape of the skeleton, its upper body is that of a beast, its lower body is that of a python, and its ferocious head is flat...
With such a shape, it probably has the head of a lizard, the body of a tiger, and the tail of a python.
"It seems to be undoubtedly the corpse of the 'Purple Gold Fire Beast'..."
Xiao Nuo said.
The Purple Gold Refinement Beast is a 'general-level' monster. The Purple Gold Refinement Beast can easily hunt high-level monsters when it is young.
However, the purple gold refining beast in adulthood has the strength of the psychic realm.
The corpse of the fire-refining beast in front of me almost reached the width of the Taoist platform.
Xiao Nuo had never heard of the Purple Gold Fire Beast that was nearly a hundred meters long.
"Is this a fire-refining beast king?"
Xiao Nuo frowned slightly.
Close observation shows that the corpse of the Purple Gold Fire Beast is more visually impactful because its bones are not straightened.
If it were straightened, it might be more than 100 meters.
With some vigilance, Xiao Nuo walked up the steps lightly and steadily, and then discovered that there was a cauldron in the center of the platform.
The cauldron is about three meters high and has three legs.
The tripod ears on both sides were locked with iron chains, which connected the platform to the ground and were covered with dust.
"what is that?"
"It should be a 'Gathering Flame Cauldron'." Ta Ling replied.
"Gathering Flame Cauldron? Is it a spiritual weapon?" Xiao Nuo asked expectantly.
The pagoda spirit denied, "You can't take this Flame Gathering Cauldron with you. You see its cauldron ears are locked with iron chains, which means that it is integrated with this Taoist platform, unless you move the entire Taoist platform together..."
…”
Xiao Nuo was a little disappointed. This platform was more than 100 meters in diameter, with eight sides and steps in eight directions. How could it be moved?
"The Juyan Cauldron can only serve as a container at most. What really exerts its power is the 'Juyan Formation' arranged in this Taoist platform. This Taoist platform has not damaged anything. Presumably the Juyan Grand Formation is still intact. You
Go and see if there is any spiritual fire left in the Juyan Cauldron..."
Tarling said.
Xiao Nuo was puzzled, "What's the use of the remaining spiritual fire? Can't it be taken away?"
Ta Ling said, "You can't take it away, but you can use it directly here."
"Um?"
"The fire collected with the Spirit Gathering Fire Array is definitely extraordinary fire. The person who built this Taoist platform must be an alchemist or weapon refiner. He used the Spirit Gathering Fire Array to collect the beast fire from the 'Purple Gold Refining Fire Beast'.
Then refine it into spiritual fire and use it to refine elixirs or weapons..."
Tarlington paused and continued, "If there is still spiritual fire left in it, you can use this spiritual fire to refine your body and temper the ancient bronze body to the middle stage. In time, not only will your strength increase several times, but your bronze shield will also
It can also transform into 'bronze armor', and even the best spiritual weapons can't do anything to you!"
Middle Bronze Archaic Period?
After hearing what the other party said, Xiao Nuo immediately became interested.
He asked curiously, "Can flame strengthen my ancient bronze body?"
"Of course, fire can purify all things, and any impurities will be burned away under the erosion of the flames. Your ancient bronze body is in its early stages, and your constitution is not pure enough. The more powerful the spiritual fire, the more powerful your physical body will be.
...It’s the same principle as an ordinary piece of iron that, after being tempered over and over again, becomes a superior weapon!”
The metaphor of the tower spirit is very intuitive. Although it sounds very scary, for Xiao Nuo, who pursues power, this kind of pain is bearable.
The tower spirit continued, "Don't worry! What you practice is "". This level of spiritual fire cannot burn you to death unless you give up resistance."
Xiao Nuo nodded, "I understand!"
Immediately, Xiao Nuo walked towards the cauldron.
He raised his hand and pressed it on the tripod, and a scorching temperature came from his palm. Xiao Nuo felt happy, there must be some flexibility left in it.
But when Xiao Nuo jumped up and moved to the top of the cauldron to check, he was stunned.
Inside...it's empty!
"There is no remaining flame!" Xiao Nuo said.
The tower spirit was also surprised. "There is no reason. There is obviously a strong spiritual energy fluctuation here."
Xiao Nuo shrugged his shoulders and jumped down.
Just when he was about to search elsewhere, Ta Ling suddenly said, "I know where the spiritual fire is..."
