From the beginning, he knew the origin of this secret realm, and got acquainted with Xiao Hong, a peerless expert in the ancient martial arts lineage. In addition, Ling gave him some appropriate tips. Before entering the secret realm, he made a decision.
This may seem like a nonsensical but very reasonable strategy.
I will follow you, wherever you go!
Judging from the current results, this is an extremely correct strategy.
As for why no treasures could be found except for cosmic alloy in this secret realm, combined with some of the information revealed by Arman and some of his own speculations, Li Yi had a bold idea.
However, this idea cannot be verified until all the alloys have been collected.
...
Currently in a secret realm.
In a hidden space that no one can see.
An egg that is half the size of a basketball court is spinning endlessly.
And around this egg, there are countless spider-like silk threads that lead to unknown places, densely packed throughout the hidden space. Among them, the fifteen largest and thickest silk threads are actually somewhat inappropriate to say silk threads, because
These giant tubular passages are almost large enough for one person to pass through.
Since the secret realm was opened, these tubular channels have been continuously transporting unknown liquids into the egg. Of course, not all liquids can be completely transported into the egg.
There are also some "waste" liquids that cannot meet the transportation standards and penetrate into the outside of the hidden space through silk threads of different sizes in the spider web.
Once these liquids flow out of the hidden space, they immediately volatilize and dissipate between heaven and earth.
And this is the source of the spiritual energy in the secret realm!
Xiao Hong and the others would never have imagined that the secret realm of spiritual energy they thought was actually just a bit of "waste" accidentally leaked from a hidden space, and that even waste that did not meet the transportation standards could have such a big impact.
Let an ancient martial arts successor who had almost given up hope of promotion see a new opportunity for breakthrough.
Li Yi looked at Xiao Hong, who was overjoyed. At this time, the other person was repeatedly checking his physical condition, and while looking, he was laughing with unknown meaning.
"Hehe, it's really good to have spiritual energy! My old bones can be rejuvenated."
Li Yi:......
"Old Xiao."
Unable to stand it any longer, Li Yi had no choice but to speak.
"Have you ever thought about a question?"
"What's the problem? Let me tell you, about sixty years ago, I was in the same situation as I am now. Hey, sixty years ago, our Xiao family was the first family in ancient martial arts. I, Xiao Hong, was also the first person in martial arts.
, there were no new weapons at that time, nor were there any of those messy superpowers, hey... it’s better to get over it!”
Seeing Xiao Hong's expression of remembering the past, Li Yi hesitated.
Should I tell him this obvious thing?
This spiritual energy is only present in the secret realm, but after returning to the outside world, the nourishment of spiritual energy is no longer available.
In other words, now Lao Xiao can enjoy this feeling of rejuvenation, all thanks to the continuous nourishment of spiritual energy. Once he returns to the outside world and loses his spiritual energy, he will gradually return to his original state and his strength will drop again.
.
Can Lao Xiao bear this sense of loss again?
"I know what you want to say."
While he was hesitating, he heard Xiao Hong speak.
"Isn't it just that after going out and not being nourished by spiritual energy, my strength has dropped again? As for returning to youth, it will naturally be like a mirror."
Xiao Hong glared at Li Yi with disdain, and the latter scratched his head with some guilt.
"I'm over a hundred years old, how can I still not understand such a trivial matter?"
"Don't worry, I can think about all these things. The reason why I keep looking inward to check the condition of my body is actually to get things as soon as possible under the limited time and go back to save my useless traitor."
Having said this, he sighed deeply.
"I don't have much time left to live. Although the treacherous son failed to live up to expectations, at least he gave me a live-up grandson! I saw it before I came here."
"He is very good. He has a bit of the same spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat that I had back then. Although without his spiritual energy, his achievements are destined not to be too high, but it should be more than enough to maintain the Xiao family lineage."
Seeing that this person seemed to have thought about it a lot, Li Yi smelled a bad taste in Lao Xiao's tone.
"Old Xiao, don't think so much. I...although I can't tell you the purpose of collecting alloys, I think things are not as pessimistic as you think. Since this secret realm can only be opened once in five hundred years,
Maybe, every opening also means the resurgence of spiritual energy?"
Xiao Hong glanced at him and smiled faintly: "You don't need to comfort me. Who can say anything about this kind of thing? It doesn't matter if you say it. Anyway, I have already thought about it, no matter what your ultimate goal is
, I have seen your behavior all the way, even if you are using me... Although I don’t know why, I can see it. Don’t think that my old man is real.
I don’t know anything.”
Li Yi: ...I don’t even know the reason myself, it’s just that a certain super intelligence told me.
"Ah!...Huh? Am I still catching a cold? Is the human sensory coefficient set too high?"
At this moment, a certain beautiful woman was sunbathing on the beach and said to herself.
...
After finally persuading Xiao Hong, the two of them once again came to a scene they had never seen before.
A deserted beach, with waves constantly lapping at the beach, and an endless coastline in the distance. Apart from that, there is not a single person in sight.
On the surface, there's nothing noteworthy here.
But Li Yi just glanced at the system radar out of habit.
Xiao Hong just closed his eyes and felt the environment here.
The two looked at each other and immediately had a tacit understanding.
If nothing else, it should be right here!
At this time, the system's radar was covered with light spots of two colors. As mentioned before, these represented the identities of humans and gods respectively. After Li Yi counted them for a while, he already knew it in his mind.
Except for the people I met before, everyone else gathered on this beach!
"The spiritual energy here is very abundant, and the marble square just now cannot compare with it." Xiao Hong said firmly.
Li Yi nodded. Although he was just entering ancient martial arts for the first time, he could still feel this.
In other words, there is no need for him to sense it.
The sea water that keeps lapping ashore in the distance is not sea water at all!
It turned out to be a sea of spiritual energy formed by too much spiritual energy!
