After a while, Jiang Ming listened to the description of the young man in black robe and finally understood some of the reasons why the immortal cultivators appeared here.
It seems that some of the things found in the Black Stone Ruins back then contained some secrets, related to certain secret places outside the Black Stone Ruins.
And somewhere deep in this mountain range is one of the secret places, where some treasures seem to be buried.
"However, the level of this secret place is low. The major forces have agreed that only Qi practitioners are allowed to come here to practice. Anyone who violates the rules will be severely punished by all parties..."
The young man in black robe named Li Xu explained: "Furthermore, the news came suddenly. It was still several years before the Black Stone Ruins were opened. Many qi-training geniuses did not have time to rush to Lihuo Realm. Among the people who participated this time, they came from
There shouldn’t be too many people in the outer realm, even we are short of manpower..."
Jiang Ming nodded slightly, no wonder cultivators would suddenly appear in this place with thin spiritual energy.
Immediately, he felt a little worried about Lu Xiaoyu. He didn't know who had fallen into the hands of someone, or had some other accident happened.
"Panicing and rushing around is not an option... Then let's follow the trend. When we get to that secret place, maybe we can find Lu Xiaoyu!"
During the conversation with Li Xu, he also asked if he had seen mortal women in this mountain. However, he only heard that some small forces would recruit mortals to explore the way. Li Xu himself had never seen them. They came from Qingyu Dao.
The academy's trial team doesn't even bother to do such a thing...
Jiang Ming saw that Li Xu was trying to win over him, so he nodded and said: "In that case, it will be too much trouble... But let's agree first that whoever finds the treasure will get it. I don't want to be in the same team.
There was a fight and robbery."
In fact, Jiang Ming didn't care at all...but he still had to do something like this adventurous attitude of an immortal cultivator.
Sure enough, when Li Xu heard Jiang Ming's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This is a normal immortal cultivator.
The two of them rushed deep into the mountains and forests together. Jiang Ming also discussed some issues with Li Xu. After all, he was from a large place and his understanding of the world of immortality was not comparable to that of a casual cultivator like him.
"What is the origin of this black stone ruins?" Jiang Ming asked: "Why do even the three major caves and Qingyu Taoist level forces have to get involved?"
Li Xu smiled: "This was indeed a secret that not many people knew back then, but it has been spread more and more widely over the years, so it is not really a secret anymore..."
"According to the information collected from various parties, the source of the Black Stone Ruins was a disciple trial site established by the world's top Immortal Cultivation Holy Land thousands of years ago. However, later that Cultivation Holy Land seemed to be pursuing some shocking goal, and eventually the cult was destroyed.
, the entire holy land disappeared without a trace..."
"It wasn't until the last time the Black Stone Ruins was opened and the powerful sermons appeared that someone discovered that this ruins had some connection with that Immortal Cultivation Holy Land... and according to rumors, this Black Stone Ruins might be that Immortal Cultivation Holy Land.
One of the inheritances deliberately left behind by the Holy Land, in order to convey certain messages to future generations."
Jiang Ming was horrified when he heard this. The top holy land for cultivating immortals... this kind of name is not something that can be given casually. It is definitely a giant that is countless times more powerful than the three caves. It actually destroyed the religion. What happened to it?
What?
"What...are they pursuing?" Jiang Ming couldn't help but ask.
Li Xu shook his head: "I really don't know. Maybe Mr. Li Qianya knows some secrets, but he has never told us."
"However, I have heard a few words... In order to achieve that goal, the holy land of cultivating immortals seemed to have explored many different paths. This black stone ruins is related to one of the exploration paths, and this path seems to be related to martial arts.
It’s a bit involved!”
"Martial arts?" Jiang Ming was stunned, thinking of Qingshui City where martial arts was prevalent, and also of the mortal world on the border of Lihuo Domain.
"Martial arts, body training... There are different opinions, but the purpose is to temper the body. According to ancient records, this path was extremely popular in the world of immortality thousands of years ago. Top warriors can compete with the powerful immortals. That is an incomparable brilliance.
During this era, many paths to immortality competed, and all kinds of extremely evil geniuses emerged."
"However, after that, it was as if it flourished and then declined...all the paths disappeared, leaving only the path of Qi training.
"
Li Xu sighed: "Even in those ancient books, there is not much introduction to this change, as if it has become a taboo topic... The only thing that can be determined is that the turning point of prosperity and decline seems to be related to the Black Stone Ruins.
The time when the holy land for cultivating immortals was destroyed was the same.”
Jiang Ming's mood was ups and downs when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a secret in the world of immortality. Martial arts really had its glory days, but it is no longer the past...
He also felt a little emotional that Li Xu was just a genius follower, but he knew so many secrets. He was much better than himself, a hard-working casual cultivator from Xiaoqianshan.
"But after a thousand or ten thousand years, who will be more knowledgeable than me... After all, the history books you read are all my personal experiences..."
Jiang Ming thought this, and his heart suddenly became more balanced...
…
It was getting dark, and the two of them entered a valley deep in the forest.
"Where are the people?" Li Xu looked at the extinguished bonfire, a little confused.
Jiang Ming was also speechless. Why are you kidding me?
Suddenly, a faint light appeared in front of him and flew towards Li Xu.
"Huh?" Li Xu caught the glimmer of light, and it turned out to be a communication talisman.
After reading the message about the communication talisman, Li Xu's expression changed slightly: "Someone has already arrived first, dug through the mountains, and entered an underground cave... Mr. Li Qianya has already led the team to rush in, and the people in front cannot be allowed to
Take away all the benefits.”
"And this secret place doesn't seem to be a low-level secret place... it's more important than everyone imagined. It seems... it seems like it's a retreat cave where a martial saint once lived?"
By the end of the browsing, Li Xu's tone changed, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"Martial Saint?" Jiang Ming also had shortness of breath.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Cangming Cave Heaven among the three major caves, as well as Lingcan Mountain and Qingyuan Sword Valley among the six blessed lands, their top geniuses seem to have arrived.
..."
Li Xu looked solemnly and looked at Jiang Ming: "Fellow Daoist Yan, I invited you to explore this place before. I didn't know that this place was so dangerous. Geniuses from all sides gathered together, and there might be a fight between life and death. If you don't want to participate in this, please leave as soon as possible.
go."
"What about you?" Jiang Ming said with a smile, looking at this Xiaoxiu who was at the fifth level of Qi training. Wouldn't it be more dangerous to participate in this kind of fight?
"I am a follower of Mr. Li. If he gives birth to me, I will live, and if he dies, I will die!" Li Xu looked calm when talking about this matter.
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows, looking at this person with admiration.
He then smiled and said: "There is an old saying in my hometown, you come even if you are called... Let's go and pay homage to this relic of the Martial Saint!"
Li Xu nodded, feeling a little solemn at this time, so he said no more and flew forward first.
The speed of the two accelerated a lot, and soon they saw a barren mountain with rugged rocks in front of them in the distance.
The barren mountain was pitch black, with no grass growing, and the spiritual energy fluctuations nearby were extremely chaotic, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
Halfway up the barren mountain, there is already a huge cave entrance that was messed up by bombs. It is vaguely visible that there are many spider web-like passages connected in the belly of the mountain. The light flashes in the cave and passages, and bursts of sound and fluctuations erupt. It seems that someone is already there.
Fighting.
At the same time, Jiang Ming also saw streams of light rushing into the cave entrance from the outside. Apparently, it was not only these Cave Heaven Paradises who were involved in the disturbance here...
"There is a formation seal under the ground, break it quickly!" There were faintly loud shouts in the cave.
"Bring this animal skin scroll to me... If you dare to mess with me, I don't want to live anymore!"
"It seems that the opportunity has not been snatched away yet..." Li Xu's eyes were excited and he couldn't wait.
"Treasures are disturbing people's hearts!" Jiang Ming shook his head slightly, flipped his wrist, and the Chili Sword turned into a stream of light, circling around him like a small red snake, always ready to take action.
"Let's go!" Li Xu rushed into the cave first and held out a small blue flag to protect himself.
boom……
Violent spiritual power fluctuations came from ahead. Jiang Ming saw a group of monks rushing into the cave before them, more than a dozen of them.
People's bodies all exploded and they died unexpectedly.
"If you dare to cause trouble in the early stage of Qi training, get out of here!"
A strong man holding a long sword sneered. Every time he swiped the sword in his hand, someone would become the soul of someone killed by the sword.
"From Cangming Cave Heaven..." Li Xu's face changed slightly, and he recognized this person. He was a master of the ninth level of Qi training.
It seems that the sound of snatching the animal skin roll just now came from this person.
But before Li Xu finished speaking, the strong man holding a long sword looked over coldly, and without saying a word, he slashed out a brilliant sword light and slashed towards Jiang Ming.
To him, Li Xu was no different from an ant. He could be strangled with the aftermath of a flash of a sword. Only Jiang Ming, who exuded the fluctuations of the ninth level of Qi training, made him interested in taking action...
"Be careful!" Li Xu's expression changed drastically. This was a genius at the ninth level of Qi training among the three caves. He could crush almost everyone at the same level, not to mention this casual cultivator named Yan Chixia.
But the next moment, a scene that stunned Li Xu appeared.
boom……
The Chili Sword burst out with bright spiritual light, and the sword energy soared into the sky, like red clouds across the sky, dyeing the nearby caves with a rouge-like blush.
The terrifying fluctuations in spiritual power made all the monks who were fighting nearby feel anxious and couldn't help but look this way.
When the red aura faded, the battle was completely over. The ninth-level qi-training genius from Cangming Cave Heaven had been chopped into two pieces. He died with his eyes wide open. It seemed that he could not believe such an end before he died.
…
"Hiss~"
Everyone around looked at this scene in horror. The person who just wanted to do evil to Jiang Ming and the two of them now had a look of fear on his face and turned around and ran away.
"Yan, Fellow Daoist Yan..." Li Xu also stammered, unable to believe that the person he randomly brought along to explore could be so powerful.
Aren't they rogue cultivators... Are there such terrifying rogue cultivators?
And he casually beheaded a genius from Cangming Cave Heaven... This matter was a bit tricky.
Jiang Ming's face was expressionless, and he quickly restored his damaged Dantian... He didn't bother to care about the background of Cangming Cave Sky. If someone wanted to cause trouble for him, then of course he had to solve the problem completely.
In order to kill with one blow, Jiang Ming directly used a wisp of mysterious fire to perform the Mysterious Fire Spirit Sacrifice Technique, bursting out with the peak strength of Qi training. Who is a genius or not? Who can block this sword?
"If one sword doesn't work, I'll give you another sword..."
Jiang Ming reached out and took away the strong man's long knife and storage ring without ceremony.
Many people around looked at it with envy, but no one dared to think of snatching it away... Just kidding, who thinks he lives a long time?
boom……
Suddenly, the cave shook, as if it was overwhelmed by the fighting of many immortal cultivators. Rocks fell rustlingly, and many mountain walls and passages collapsed, burying many cultivators inside.
"Ah..." Li Xu suddenly screamed and fell into a collapsed passage. In the blink of an eye, he was buried by a pile of collapsed rocks.
Jiang Ming was also caught off guard. He could only pray that Li Xu would be blessed. It was just a mountain of rocks. It should not be able to kill an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training...
"I don't know if Lu Xiaoyu is deep in the cave!" Looking at the densely packed and increasingly chaotic passages, Jiang Ming also had a headache.
Just when Jiang Ming was about to pick a road and rush in, there was a sudden "buzz" in his mind, as if he heard something.
"Into... bad..."
At the same time, the blood energy in certain parts of Jiang Ming's body seemed to be stimulated, and some trembled slightly.
His footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked towards a certain passage.
The sound that seemed to be there but not at all seemed to come from that passage...if he didn't have a keen sense of spirituality, he wouldn't be able to detect it.
And what shocked Jiang Ming even more was that the part where his blood was trembling seemed a little familiar...
After a while, the vague voice came again, and the blood in Jiang Ming's body trembled again.
"This is... the blood energy movement route of the Martial Tribulation Sutra?"
Jiang Ming was shocked. The Wu Jie Sutra passed down by the Lu family was actually related to this place?
"Could the Lu family be descendants of the Martial Saint?"
Jiang Ming couldn't help but think about it.
He just hesitated for a moment, and then rushed towards the passage where the faint sound came from. Now he was like a headless fly. Only this passage was a little unusual, so he could only explore it.
As he moved forward quickly in the passage, he felt that it was getting deeper and deeper into the underground. The faint voice seemed to be gradually becoming clearer, but Jiang Ming could only hear four words when he went back and forth.
"Become...live...bad...empty..."
Jiang Ming's heart moved slightly. Formation, residence, destruction and emptiness refer to the four calamities. It is a view on the birth and death of the world. What does it mean to appear here?
Wow~
Suddenly, Jiang Ming's eyes suddenly opened up, and he rushed into an underground cave. There were figures in front of him, and it was obvious that someone had come before him.
And the cave is not peaceful either. A dozen figures are faintly divided into three parties, spiritual power is surging, and the atmosphere seems to be a bit tense.
However, Jiang Ming's attention was not at all on the dozen or so people, but was attracted by the scene in the middle of the cave.
"This is……"
He stared at a pool filled with purple liquid in the middle of the cave. In the middle of the pool was a simple stone platform, and in the center of the stone platform, a figure sat cross-legged.
It was a black-haired man, with long hair like ink falling casually on the stone platform. His face was gentle and calm, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was sleeping.
