Chapter 60 The truth behind the misty secret realm
Zhang Ke then discussed the strategy of curing the Japanese zombies with Shiraishi Zhenren and several others.
Then Zhang Ke left the alchemy room and came to the big tent where True Lord Lieyan was.
After entering, they found that Lieyan, Jiuren, and Furong were all there.
There were Lu Gong and Xin Hongcui who came after hearing the news, but none of the secret realm practitioners were seen.
After Zhang Ke entered the account, he bowed and saluted.
"Disciple pays homage to the two ancestors!"
True Lord Jiuren said with a ‘haha’ smile:
"Ruyi, I've been waiting for you for a long time, sit down!"
When Zhang Ke sat down, Lu Gong and Xin Hongcui also bowed their hands to Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke smiled and cupped his hands as a greeting.
True Lord Jiuren glanced at True Lord Lieyan and said with a smile:
"I heard that you gave Shiraishi a lesson in the alchemy room?"
Zhang Ke asked with some dissatisfaction:
"Grandmaster! Senior Brother Baishi's behavior is a bit too much, why don't you try to dissuade him?"
Lord Lieyan coughed twice in embarrassment and changed the subject:
"Since you have dealt with this matter, don't mention it again.
By the way, what are you going to do with the secret realm practitioners in the camp?
Zhang Ke asked:
"Why did the camp bring in so many secret realm practitioners?
If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."
True Lord Jiuren sighed:
"Alas! I don't know the harm in this.
For the past two years, I have not dared to blink my eyes day and night for fear that something would go wrong.
Fortunately, you killed Sun Kou and Chi Fengying a few years ago, which made these secret realm Nascent Souls timid and did not dare to cause trouble.
We are helpless. Once we forcibly drive away these secret realm practitioners, I am afraid they will think that we have a guilty conscience.
This caused chaos, so we had no choice but to let them in."
Zhang Ke roughly guessed this was the reason and said:
"I have ordered Baishi to notify the practitioners in the secret realm and evacuate them all within three days."
Although they are unwilling to admit it, both True Lord Lieyan and True Lord Jiuren actually know in their hearts that Zhang Ke's strength at this time has far surpassed his own.
So when Zhang Ke came back, several people suddenly felt that the pressure in their hearts was much lighter.
True Lord Furong smiled and said:
"Now that Ruyi has made a decision, let's do it your way."
Zhang Ke was secretly wondering, at some point, Zhenjun Furong's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a lot.
With Zhang Ke in charge of the camp, True Lord Lieyan and others would no longer be afraid of anything happening, and decided to follow Zhang Ke's orders.
After settling the matter in a few words, Lord Lieyan and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
True Lord Lieyan glanced at Lu Gong and Xin Hongcui, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"In the past few years, I have noticed that both the clouds and the aura fog seem to be receding. Is it you?"
Zhang Ke nodded, took out a silk book from his arms and handed it to True Lord Lieyan.
"The matter of the spiritual energy mist can be solved at any time. I found it in the 'Dispersing Element Array' in the center of the earth."
Lord Lieyan slowly unfolded the silk book, only to see that it was filled with densely written small characters.
If you look closely, you will see that they are all written in secret characters.
He can still speak a few words about Mystic, but his writing is much worse.
After looking at it for a few times, he simply handed it to Zhenjun Jiuren next to him.
Asked: "Ruyi, what is this?"
Zhang Ke explained:
"This is left by a Nascent Soul Lord from the 'Spirit Realm' named Sikongwu.
According to the silk book he left behind, the disciple roughly knows what is going on in the Mist Secret Realm now.
Lan Shaocheng's previous statement was true. The Mysterious Mist Realm has been transporting True Lord Nascent Soul to the 'Haojing Shang Yuanling Realm'.
This process lasted for thousands of years until the truth was revealed by Luo He, the True Lord of the Secret Realm Nascent Soul.
Later, due to the resistance of practitioners in the secret realm and the fewer and fewer Nascent Soul Lords in the secret realm, the resources invested could not get the expected return.
The ‘spiritual world’ gradually stopped investing in the mysterious realm of mist.”
Lieyan Zhenjun and others' expressions changed, and Lu Gong and Xin Hongcui on the side also focused their attention.
Lord Jiuren asked:
"Ruyi! What are the resources of the 'spiritual world'?"
Zhang Ke explained:
"The layout of the dispersing magic circle requires a lot of magic weapons. If you want to convert the vitality of heaven and earth into 'spiritual energy', you also need a treasure called the 'Liangyi Pearl'."
As a reward for opening up the secret realm, any treasures obtained by one of the air sects have nothing to do with the other sects.
Lu Gong's mouth moved. Although he was a little curious, he did not open his mouth to ask.
Zhang Ke continued:
"Although the 'Spirit Realm' is no longer asking for the secret realm, the 'Spirit Realm' has not given up on this secret realm.
According to the layout of the six-pointed star of the 'San Yuan Array', they sent seven true monarchs to sit in the center of the earth all year round.
According to the meaning contained in the silk book left by Sikong Wu, the 'spiritual world' is going to let the secret realm recuperate for a period of time.
In the future, they will come to the secret realm again to harvest."
Zhenjun Jiuren thought for a moment and asked:
“Do you know when the ‘spiritual world’ will return to the secret realm?
Also, where are the seven true kings who guard the center of the earth now?"
Zhang Ke replied:
"This is the key point of the changes in the secret realm. About four thousand years ago, the 'spiritual world' secretly sent seven true monarchs to sneak into the center of the earth to protect the 'Dispersing Element Array'.
The structure of this 'Scattered Element Array' is very complex. It is made up of seven complete small spaces that are superimposed and nested.
Six of them guard the six branch formations of the 'Hexagram', and one person is the head of the seven and sits at the core of the 'Hexagram'.
However, there is a problem here.
The True Monarch of Nascent Soul only has a lifespan of three thousand years, which also includes the time spent practicing all the way.
Coming to the secret realm to guard the center of the earth is actually equivalent to going to jail, and you may even sit there until you die.
Therefore, no one from the Nascent Soul Realm in the ‘spiritual world’ is willing to come.
In the end, the 'Spirit World' had no choice but to place restrictions on the six True Lords who had failed to fight with other worlds or who had escaped from the battlefield and forcibly sent them here.
The person commanding them is Sikong Wu, who is a disciple of the Lingji Cave, a large sect in the ‘spiritual world’, and he took the initiative to come here.”
Lieyan Zhenjun did not read the silk book and did not understand some things very well. Hearing this, he asked with some doubts:
"Why did Sikong Wu take the initiative to come here? Could it be that the secret realm is better than the world?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Ke replied:
"That's the crux of the matter.
In order to reward practitioners who take the initiative to come to the secret realm, the 'spiritual world' will teach a secret technique of 'capturing the element' and an innate spiritual treasure."
"Ss—!"
Everyone present, including Lord Lieyan and others, as well as Lu Gong and Xin Hongcui, took a breath almost at the same time.
They didn't know what the secret technique of 'Capturing Yuan' was, but the innate spiritual treasure instantly attracted everyone.
You must know that every innate spiritual treasure is a treasure that can suppress the destiny of the sect.
Everyone was secretly horrified.
Just for the unknown future of this secret realm, the 'spiritual world' is willing to pay an innate spiritual treasure as the price.
Perhaps the value of this secret realm may not be comparable to an innate spiritual treasure.
From this we can see how fertile a realm the ‘Haojing Shang Yuanling Realm’ is.
Zhang Ke continued:
"Four thousand years ago, Sikong Wu's lifespan was less than eight hundred years.
In order to obtain the secret technique of 'capturing the Yuan' to extend his life [Xiaozhutian Four-Nine Return to Yuan Method] and other treasures, he resolutely took the initiative to come to this secret realm.
It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans, and the six Nascent Soul Lords who were forced to come here are unwilling to sit back and wait to die.
Just three thousand years ago, six Nascent Soul Lords who were locked up here fought for a chance of survival.
They communicated with each other using secret methods, fought back with their bodies destroyed, and fought back together with Sikong Wu.
The result of this battle was the death of five true kings, and Sikong Wu was also seriously injured.
It was precisely because of the continuous bloody battles between the seven people that the heaven and earth's inspiration was triggered, causing many spaces to be damaged when the 'Scattered Element Array' was deployed.
As a result, some of the formations of the 'Scattered Element Array' lost their function, causing the secret realm to gradually become what it is today."
"Oh I got it!"
Everyone finally knew how the secret realm of mist was formed.
True Lord Furong could not help but ask:
"Ruyi, where is the innate spiritual treasure?"
She didn't care about anything else, the only thing she cared about was this thing.
Zhang Ke smiled lightly and said: "This thing has fallen into my hands!"
Several people's eyes brightened, but then dimmed.
Now that it fell into Zhang Ke's hands, they no longer had any thoughts.
Zhenjun Jiuren said thoughtfully:
"Five true kings have fallen, and Sikong Wu has been seriously injured. There seems to be one missing among them?"
Zhang Ke smiled and nodded.
"What the Patriarch said is right, let me listen to my disciple and explain it slowly.
The only remaining True Lord Nascent Soul is named 'Kaka', and he is a disciple of another major sect in the 'Spirit World', the 'Lingxu Pavilion'.
Speaking of this person, let’s talk about the secret technique of ‘capturing the Yuan’.
This is an extremely vicious method of extending life.
First of all, a creature with a long life, such as a giant, or a creature with the blood of a mythical beast, is needed to become the host body.
Secondly, you must use a secret method to refine your blood essence into a drop of blood.
Then, use [Xiaozhutian Four-nine Return to Origin Method] to integrate a drop of blood that has condensed the essence of a lifetime into the body of that long-lived creature.
Use the majestic vitality of this creature to give birth to yourself again.
Like a parasite, it will absorb all the vitality of this creature, and when its essence is exhausted, it will burst out of the host's body.
In this way, the host can increase his lifespan by another 3,600 years and obtain an innate Tao body."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but feel excited.
No matter how vicious this method is, as long as you can survive, sacrificing others is nothing.
Zhang Ke also knows what everyone is thinking.
Zhengse said:
"Disciple, I swear by my future path, I have not obtained the [Small Heavens Four-nine Return to Origin Method]."
True Lord Lieyan and others were greatly disappointed, and True Lord Jiuren reluctantly searched for clues in the silk books.
But there is basically no difference between what is recorded in the silk book and what Zhang Ke said.
Zhang Ke continued:
"In order for Sikongwu to be able to guard the heart of the secret land with peace of mind, the 'spirit world' specially prepared a young wild giant as his host body.
But after the two sides fought, Sikong Wu was seriously injured, and the wild giant fell into the hands of Lord Kaka.
Later, Sikong Wu recorded all this in this silk book before he died."
