Whether it is Zhou Yang, Xu Song, or even Xiao Ying, they are all very curious about how Zhou Yuanyao and her daughter were trapped in the underground ruins.
This underground ruins was guarded by a fifth-level high-level formation. With the help of Xu Song, a fifth-level mid-level formation mage, it took them more than ten years to break through the formation and enter.
Zhou Xuanyu was only at the third level of foundation building, and Zhou Yuanyao was only at the ninth level of Qi training. Under such circumstances, how could the mother and daughter enter the formation without destroying it?
At the same time, how did they survive for nearly eighty years?
You must know that neither the monks in the Qi training stage nor the monks in the foundation building stage can completely live without food. Even if they bring a lot of food medicine pills and "golden pearl rice" when they go out, they will definitely not be enough to consume in so many years!
In response to these questions, Zhou Yang asked the mother and daughter one by one after their emotions stabilized.
Of course, before that, he and Xiao Ying very thoughtfully brought out some food and drinks such as monster meat jerky, preserved fruits, spiritual wine, etc. and gave the mother and daughter a feast.
And Zhou Xuanyu, mother and daughter, did not resist the temptation of these foods. After eating and drinking a lot, they answered Zhou Yang's questions with happy faces.
It turns out that the reason why the mother and daughter got trapped in the underground ruins was a complete accident.
When Zhou Yuanyao went out to practice under the secret protection of her mother, Zhou Xuanyu, because she knew that her mother, who was in the foundation-building stage, was protecting her, she naturally didn't know what to say, and no adventure team dared to get involved.
That time, when she was among a group of casual cultivators, she got mixed up with a team of monks in the Qi training period who went deep into the sand sea to explore the ruins of the caves of their predecessors.
This team is composed of seven late-stage Qi-training monks. Including Zhou Yuanyao, there are a total of three people who are at the ninth level of Qi-training. From this point of view alone, the strength of this team is still very good among the low-level monks.
The good strength allowed this team to dare to go deeper into the sand sea to hunt for treasures. They went all the way deep into the sand sea until they reached a depth of nearly 30,000 miles from the starting oasis before reaching their destination. At this time, they spent a lot of money on the road.
The time has reached more than three months.
After arriving at the destination, the leader of the team explained the details of the adventure.
It turned out that they were going to explore an ancient monk's cave, which was suspected to be a high-level monk's cave left thousands of years ago. The formations inside had been eroded by time and were no longer as powerful as they were at their peak. The monks in the Qi-training period only needed to prepare
If you have enough, you can even venture into it if you have enough.
When he heard that the cave he was going to explore was a cave left behind by a high-level monk, Zhou Yuanyao was moved at that time, so he left a message via a coded code to his mother Zhou Xuanyu who was following him behind, hoping to use his mother Zhou Xuanyu's power to dominate the cave.
However, just when Zhou Xuanyu received the message and followed him deep into the cave and was about to take action, some monk accidentally touched a certain residual formation in the cave, and then everyone in the cave, including Zhou Xuanyu, was teleported here.
On the altar in the underground ruins.
What happened next was simple. After finding out that he was trapped in the ruins and unable to get out, in order to collect resources to support himself and wait for his family to come to rescue him, Zhou Xuanyu naturally killed all the casual cultivators.
Of course, even if they collected the food resources from a few casual cultivators, it would definitely not be enough for the mother and daughter to support them for nearly eighty years.
Therefore, the reason why they are able to survive until now is because they are self-reliant in farming in this underground ruins.
According to what the mother and daughter said, there was originally a pool the size of three-thirds of a floor in the "Guangming Hall", which was originally planted with ornamental plants such as lotus. After the mother and daughter found that there was not enough food, they removed the pool.
The water inside was drained and "Golden Pearl Rice" was planted.
Thanks to the abundant spiritual energy nourishment in this underground ruins that is comparable to the fifth-level spiritual veins, and Zhou Yuanyao, who practices wood-type exercises, has also taught himself the spiritual cultivation skills and learned to use some ripening spells to accelerate ripening.
The "Golden Pearl Rice" that originally ripens once a year can be harvested three times a year after it is planted in the pond, and the yield is more than twice that of planting it in the third-level spiritual field.
Mother and daughter Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Yuanyao managed to survive nearly eighty years just by relying on this half-acre of less than five-level spiritual land!
As for why they were transported to this underground ruins, Zhou Xuanyu and his daughter had not figured out why they were transported to this underground ruins for nearly eighty years. They only speculated that it should be related to the remains of a monk they found in the "Guangming Hall".
"That monk's remains must have been a senior in the Golden Core stage. His location was originally protected by a layer of formation restrictions. We tried our best to break the restrictions!"
As Zhou Yuanyao spoke, she secretly glanced at Xu Song, who was not far away. She already knew from Zhou Yang's mouth that this guy full of ghostly aura was actually a Golden Core cultivator, and a rare ghost cultivator.
"Senior Xu, you also heard what Yao'er said. What do you think of this matter?"
Zhou Yang turned his eyes and asked Xu Song's opinion.
Of all the people and ghosts here, Xu Song is the most knowledgeable. In addition, as a fifth-level array mage, he must have a higher say in this regard than anyone else.
"I just took a look. The altar in the square should be a large-scale long-distance teleportation array. This type of teleportation array may not be as good as the rumored cross-continental teleportation array, but a single teleportation can reach a distance of more than a million miles.
!”
"But you have also seen that the matching black crystal stone on the teleportation array has been removed, and the array is in an unusable state."
"If you are asking me what I think about these two little girls being inexplicably teleported into this ruins, I judge that it was an accident. The formation they triggered in the cave was originally supposed to be used to escape in an emergency.
Sexual teleportation circle."
"This one-time teleportation array is a one-way teleportation array. There is no fixed number of where it will be teleported, but it will usually be given priority to places within the range where the laws of space are weak."
"The two little girls who were teleported into the ruins must have been mistakenly received by this teleportation array during the transmission. After all, when this large-scale long-distance teleportation array was deployed, it would have chosen a place where the laws of space were relatively weak.
!”
As expected, Xu Song didn't hide his secrets and immediately expressed his opinions.
But when Zhou Yang heard what he said, he was shocked.
"What? This altar is a large-scale remote delivery circle? Senior, you read that right!"
Zhou Yang looked at the altar in the center of the square with a shocked face, a look of disbelief on his face.
Of course he knew about the large-scale long-distance teleportation array. This type of teleportation array was a must-have for contact between top powers. It could teleport millions of miles at a time, allowing one party's support personnel to reach millions of miles away in an instant.
The other sect is located.
Like the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and their die-hard ally Yuqing Dao Sect, although the two sides are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, there is such a large long-distance teleportation circle. If either side is in trouble, the masters of the other sect can teleport through it.
The team arrived instantly to provide support.
To build such a large-scale long-distance teleportation array, not only does it require a sixth-level array mage who is proficient in space teleportation arrays to personally take action, but it also requires the consumption of many precious fifth-level spiritual objects. Just building such a teleportation array costs a lot.
, which is equivalent to the entire assets of a small sect.
How could Zhou Yang not be shocked that such a precious and large-scale long-distance teleportation array would appear in a resource-poor place like the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World?
"Although I don't know how to build a teleportation circle, you can't doubt my eyesight because of this. Besides, if it's true, you only need to take out the relics of the corpse inside and you will know it!"
Xu Song glanced at Zhou Yang with an unhappy expression and said this in a dull voice.
When he said this, Zhou Yang came back to his senses from the shock and daze. Then an embarrassed look flashed on his face, and he smiled and said: "Hahaha, senior is right, let's go and take a look at the body inside first."
Bones."
Walking into the "Guangming Palace", Zhou Yang saw at a glance the three-quarter area where Zhou Yuanyao's mother and daughter had relied on for their survival over the years.
This main hall is not divided into front and back halls like ordinary palaces. There is only an extremely wide front hall. After entering the door, there were two lotus ponds about ten feet long and one foot wide on both sides. Now they are filled with "golden flowers".
Pearl rice".
In the center of the two lotus ponds is an aisle about one foot wide, which leads to the deepest part of the hall.
In the center of the deepest part of the hall stands a several-foot-high white jade statue that shines with holy white light. The statue is carved of a man with a majestic and divine appearance. He holds a white jade magic sword in one hand and a crystal orb in the other.
Facing the main entrance of the hall.
When Zhou Yang and the others walked into the main hall, the first thing they saw was the eyes of the white jade statue.
Those eyes seemed to be subject to some kind of spiritual ban. When Zhou Yang and the others looked at them, there was a kind of pressure from the depths of their souls that forced them to lower their gazes and bow their heads in salute.
Since Zhou Xuanyu's mother and daughter had been informed in advance, although Zhou Yang was a little unhappy about being plotted against, he did not really force himself to resist. He lowered his eyes slightly as a salute.
Not only him, but also Jindan monks like Xu Song did not choose to go back.
Because according to Xu Song's guess, if he chooses to bear down on the power emanating from the eyes of the statue, it is likely to trigger some kind of self-destruction ban inside, causing the entire hall and even the entire ruins to be destroyed.
After entering the main hall with his head bowed like this, Zhou Yang also saw the so-called corpse at a glance.
The bones were placed on a futon under the statue. Because of the passage of time, the skin and flesh of the bones had all decayed and dissipated, leaving only the skeleton shining with jade luster. Just looking at the shining jade bones, Zhou Yang knew that Zhou Xuanyu
The mother and daughter were right, the owner of the corpse must have been in the Golden Core stage during his lifetime.
"No! These are not the remains of ordinary Golden Core monks, these are the bones of at least the ninth level of the Golden Core, or even the Nascent Soul monks!"
Exclamations rang out from beside him. Zhou Yang turned around and saw Xu Song's eyes fixed on the corpse. His ghostly green eyes were full of greed.
