Li Zhi and Ao Ling randomly chose a direction and continued moving forward.
Anyway, there are no special signs in this secret realm. Everything seems to be a lucky break.
Li Zhi did not continue to question Ao Ling's decision. Fortunately, this "secret trial" lasted for a total of three years, and it would not be automatically transferred out until the time was up.
"Kuroro, why do I feel that this place is too quiet and even a little miserable? Could there be some kind of monster?"
The two of them didn't know how far they had walked. There was no sun or moon in the secret realm, but it was always like daytime, and they never saw the coming of night.
However, after turning a hill, the surrounding scenery turned dark.
This is a long and narrow canyon, with high mountains on both sides, reaching the top.
There was a stream flowing through the place, and the sound of gurgling water just brought out the tranquility of the surroundings.
"Kuroro, look, why is this stream black?"
Sure enough, the stream didn't seem to be too deep, but the bottom was so black that Li Zhi couldn't feel any water aura.
Is this it?
Li Zhi seemed to have thought of something. He opened his right hand and captured a water line from the stream, hovering in Li Zhi's palm.
Even Li Zhiqiang's physical body, which is at the peak of "Golden Immortal", can still feel the corrosive power contained in the water.
"Sister Long, be careful. The water here is actually weak. Even someone as strong as the "Golden Immortal" may hate it. Don't get involved."
The two of them carefully walked forward along the stream, but the terrain became lower and lower as they went, as if it was leading underground. When they looked up at the sky, it had become a very thin line.
While I was walking, a fisherman appeared out of thin air in front of me?
That's right, a gray bamboo hat, a gray raincoat, and a slender fishing rod, fishing by the weak water stream.
The Diaosou was sitting there. He couldn't tell how tall he was, but his body was vaguely stooped. His gray hair was vaguely visible on the outer edge of his bamboo hat.
There are people fishing next to weak water?
Li Zhi secretly used the "Breaking Golden Eyes" to take a look. It was strange, why didn't this person have any magic power?
Another one he couldn't see the realm of, which surprised Li Zhi.
You know, with his current "green" level "Delusion-breaking Golden Eyes", there is no way to hide from the quasi-sage. Could this person be a quasi-sage?
In other words, he is simply an ordinary mortal?
This is the only two judgments, but no matter which answer it is, Li Zhi cannot accept it.
"You two little friends, don't know where you came from?"
While the two were sizing up the fisherman, a voice came.
Li Zhi was startled again. Looking at the thin old man, he had such a powerful and powerful voice, which made him very surprised.
"My descendants, Li Jiu and Ao Qi, have met our seniors. We are from heaven. I wonder who your seniors are? Why are you fishing here?"
After meeting each other by strangers, Li Zhi also kept an eye on him.
He knew in his heart that this place was a relic of the Lich War, so the people he met inside might have come for the trial, or they might be the "indigenous" of this secret realm.
As for the person in front of me, since the rules for entering the trial in heaven are below "Daluo Jinxian", then this person is either not a practitioner, or he is not from heaven.
"Heaven? Whose heaven is the "heaven" that my friend is talking about? Dijun and Tianyi? I wonder if you can help me clarify my doubts?"
Sure enough...
Li Zhi sighed lightly, it seemed that his guess was correct.
"Senior, the "heaven" I come from is the heaven where the Jade Emperor is revered. The demon clan's heaven no longer exists..."
For some reason, Li Zhi was inexplicably full of trust in this person. He sat down cross-legged and leisurely told the fisherman what he knew.
From the war between the lich and the demons, to when Haotian proclaimed himself emperor, from the destruction of the ancient world to the rebirth of the Three Realms.
"I don't know who the senior is, but I must be missing you here. Meeting you here is a fate, I know it.
It’s limited, but I hope I can help my seniors a little bit.”
The fisherman listened quietly, even frowning at times, but never interrupted Li Zhi.
"Thank you for your answer, little friend. After thousands of years, I didn't expect that the prehistoric era has ceased to exist. Many talented and wise people have disappeared into thin air. I'm afraid there are not many of my old friends left."
"In the heaven you just mentioned, was there a fairy named "Heng'e"?"
What Li Zhi said was quite magnificent. After listening to it, Diaosou calmed down again.
"Heng'e?"
Li Zhi felt that this name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and it seemed that this person did not exist in heaven.
"Hey, it was my fault back then. Without divine power, there would be no divine power. Why did you ask Queen Mother Naxi? Haha, how could two people ascend if they only got a bottle of elixir?"
"Now that I think about it, I took advantage of Queen Mother Naxi and let Xiao'e secretly take the elixir and leave me..."
Li Zhi hadn't thought about who the so-called "Hang'e" was, but Diaosou was talking to himself. Although his voice was not loud, Li Zhi heard it clearly.
Queen Mother of the West? Stealing the elixir? Ascension? Could it be...
"Senior, did the person you mentioned ascend to the Moon Palace? Now there is a "Fairy Chang'e" in the heaven, who is very similar to the person you described."
"Ah, could it be said that the senior is actually the great witch Houyi who shot the sun back then?——"
Li Zhi was so shocked that he stood up immediately. If these descriptions were true and it was Chang'e who ascended, then wouldn't the person in front of him be the great witch Houyi?
"Haha, I didn't expect that you, a young man from the human race, could actually know my name."
"Hou Yi is true, but the word "hero", hey, everything is just a conspiracy of the superior..."
Although Li Zhi looked at him with such admiration, the old man still maintained his calmness and was even a little bit worried about his shooting of the sun.
"I have nothing to do, would you be interested in hearing me tell you a story?"
Without waiting for Li Zhi's reply, the fisherman adjusted his sitting posture, gently put the fishing rod aside, and began his story.
It turns out that after the "Long-Han Catastrophe", the Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin tribes were all defeated and withdrew from the center of the world.
The wilderness was once again without a master, and other tribes began a secret struggle. In the end, the two Lich tribes rose up with strength.
The demon clan dominates the sky, and the witch clan controls the earth. Originally, the two clans were equally powerful. Although there were some small frictions in local areas, no powerful person from the two clans ever intervened.
At this time, the demon emperor Jun, who is known as the most powerful warrior under the saint, used the building wood of Weushui as the stem, the horn of the prisoner cow in the East China Sea as the horn, the tendon of the dragon in Wu Xi's leize as the tendon, and the dragon in Taize as the tendon.
Turtle glue is made from turtles, using celestial silk from Arctic ice silkworms as silk and Guoshan lacquer as paint.
Finally, the bow string was made from the tendons of the dragon, and its soul was fused to the bow as its spirit. It was placed on the top of Kunlun, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon.
When the weapon spirit on the bow turned into a dragon and flew up, the bow was finally refined.
With a powerful bow, it is natural to have powerful arrows to match.
The material used to refine the arrows was the black stone left behind by Nuwa when she was patching up the sky. A total of 108 black stone arrows were made.
”.
The divine bow already has spirit, and even those with great supernatural powers cannot fully control it.
As a result, the Demon Emperor Jun announced to the Great Wilderness that he placed the divine bow and the "Sky-Mending Arrow" on the Great Wilderness Mountain, and sincerely invited the heroes of the great wilderness. Anyone of any race who can draw this divine bow can take it with them.
However, the divine bow and the "sky-repairing arrow" were released in Dahuang Mountain for ten years, and no one was able to pull them apart until Hou Yi appeared.
That day, the scorching sun was shining in the sky, and all the virtuous people in Dahuang Mountain were here.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hou Yi pushed the back of the bow with his left hand, pinched the bow string with his right hand, and with both arms fighting, the bow opened like a full moon, and he pulled the divine bow to the full length.
Then, Hou Yi laughed three times, took the magic bow and "Mending the Sky
Arrow" and walked away.
Unexpectedly, on the second day after Hou Yi obtained the divine bow, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time.
Not long after, the river was dried up, countless fish and shrimps were killed and injured, the crops were scorched, and the ground was covered with red land.
The Wu tribe lives on the earth, so they were naturally impatient when they saw such a scene, and went to the tribe to invite Hou Yi.
Hou Yi was originally the best archer in the entire Wu clan, and he had just obtained the divine bow, which made him even more famous.
Hou Yi was also worried about the situation before him, but what could he do?
At this moment, an old man suddenly suggested.
"Hou Yi, you are always good at shooting, why not use the magic bow and the "sky-repairing arrow" to shoot the other nine suns, maybe you can drive them away."
When the witches heard what he said, they all felt that what the old man said was reasonable, and they all agreed with him.
Hou Yi glanced at the old man. He was a complete stranger. He had never seen him before. Hou Yi felt something was wrong.
He is very aware of his proficiency in bows and arrows. Even if he has a divine bow and a "sky-repairing arrow", after all, he is only a great witch, and he has no confidence that he can shoot into the sun.
Unfortunately, the situation at that time was very urgent, and more and more Wu tribes gathered around, and Hou Yi could not tolerate refusal.
He had no choice but to take out his divine bow, put the "sky-mending arrow" on his back, and set off towards the top of the mountain.
After arriving at the top of the mountain, I saw Hou Yi taking off his divine bow, attaching a "sky-repairing arrow", and shooting an arrow at the sun in the sky.
"Shua——"
When the "sky-repairing arrow" was sent out, Hou Yi felt like he was receiving divine help?
Yes, there has never been such a powerful force. In other words, the "sky-fixing arrow" is more like flying rapidly through the air, towards the direction of the sun.
"Pfft——"
With a muffled sound, a sun fell.
"How could this happen?"
Hou Yi looked at his hands and couldn't believe it. Are these still his own hands?
However, to say that he did not ejaculate by himself, the divine power in his body did consume a lot.
The young and energetic Hou Yi didn't think too much. He was able to shoot down the sun with one arrow. What a great feat it was!
What's more, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, there were so many people from the Wu tribe waving flags and cheering for him, and Hou Yi seemed to have infinite power.
One arrow after another, "Pah, pah, pah -" eight more "sky-repairing arrows" were shot out in one breath, and the eight suns fell in response.
Hou Yi, who was excited about shooting, wanted to take another "sky-repairing arrow", but the old man spoke again.
Eleven of the twelve ancestral witches died in the battle, leaving only Queen Houtu, but she turned into the "Six Paths of Reincarnation", and the tyrannical witch clan fell from then on.
The demon clan also did not take advantage. Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi died in battle one after another, and all the demon gods also died and fled. From then on, the demon clan became a race that everyone shouted to fight.
After this battle, the two temporarily powerful races, the lich and the lich, completely lost their chance to stand at the center of the historical stage.
Li Zhi listened quietly to Hou Yi's story. Of course, it had a different flavor when he told it from his own mouth.
Even Ao Ling was moved after hearing this. Even though they were familiar with many things, they had at least heard of them.
"My little friend, can you hear anything wrong?"
For a long time, Hou Yi seemed to be waiting for Li Zhi to digest his story.
"What the seniors said is almost the same as what the juniors know, but the seniors asked that there was something "wrong" about it. Could it be that the shooting of the sun by seniors was secretly controlled by someone?"
Li Zhi is the brain of later generations, and his brain circuit is not comparable to that of people of this era. This has nothing to do with realm, it is just a matter of vision.
"Haha, good, good, good, you are indeed an interesting little friend. I have been sitting here for thousands of years to figure out something, but I didn't expect this little friend to understand it at once."
"Yes, the shooting of the sun even triggered a war between lich and lich. I have indeed taken advantage of others. The reason why I have been troubled for so many years is precisely because this person's identity is too special."
After Hou Yi finished speaking, he seemed to have stopped intentionally. Instead of continuing, he took off the bamboo hat on his head.
With gray hair, a shriveled face, and a stooped body, the only thing that shows vitality is the pair of bright eyes.
And those eyes were staring at Li Zhi's face at the moment, as if they were asking him something.
"Senior said that person's identity is special. How special can it be? So that no one will suspect that he triggered the Lich War?"
Following Hou Yi's train of thought, Li Zhi tried to ask.
"Well, the younger generation is awesome. My little friend's intelligence is really no less than those of the mighty men who roamed the ancient world. It's a pity that my cultivation level is far behind."
Hou Yi first praised Li Zhi, and then shook his head.
"Everyone will say that it was I, Hou Yi, who shot and killed the nine sons of the Demon Emperor Jun, which triggered the Lich War."
"However, who would go and explore why ten suns appeared at the same time? The heavens at that time were also very strict, so were the ten princes of the demon clan really so bold and reckless?"
"Who would pay attention to the fact that I, Hou Yi, a great witch, really have the ability to shoot down nine suns?"
"What's more important is that the divine bow, which was later called the "Sun Shooting Bow", was refined by Demon Emperor Jun himself."
"On the second day after it was in my hands, Hou Yi,
By chance, the ten princes of the demon clan ran out together? Haha, there were too many doubts, which were covered up by the subsequent lich war."
The more Hou Yi talked, the more excited he became. Perhaps he had been feeling aggrieved for too long. He had been sitting here for countless years and finally found someone to talk to.
"Senior, what do you mean..."
Li Zhi already had a vague judgment in his mind, but he was still unwilling, or dared not, to believe it, even if his soul came from that future generation with infinite imagination.
"Yes, the initiator of everything is Demon Emperor Jun himself..."
Hou Yi finally spoke out, and he sat there for countless years before slowly clarifying his thoughts.
Unfortunately, it's already too late.
"How is it possible? Those nine demon princes are all his biological sons. How could the demon emperor Jun do this?——"
This time, it was Ao Ling’s turn and couldn’t believe it.
"Haha, how is this impossible? Are you a member of the Dragon Clan? The Dragon Clan also dominated the entire sky back then and was the leader of all spirits, but what about now?"
"Although Emperor Jun is said to be the most powerful person among saints, he can only be said to be inferior to saints. No matter how powerful a "quasi-saint" is, he will always be a "quasi-saint". If he wants to be completely unscrupulous, he must become a true
Saint!"
Yes, all saints are ants, the ancestral dragon, the Yuanfeng, the ancestral unicorn are like this, the emperor Jun, Taiyi, and the twelve ancestral witches are like this.
"The last "Hongmeng Purple Qi" has disappeared, and the normal path to becoming a saint has been completely cut off. If you want to become a saint, you have to break the sky."
"To break the sky, you need to sacrifice to heaven first. The nine sons of Emperor Jun can be regarded as sacrifices to heaven. However, humans are not as good as God. Emperor Jun's organs have been exhausted, and he will eventually die. Everything is God's will.
”
The surroundings fell into silence again, with only the gurgling weak stream flowing slowly.
"Senior, what about you? What happened to you later and why are you sitting here?"
The conclusion given by Hou Yi was so shocking that Li Zhi couldn't even verify its authenticity, so he simply changed the topic.
After all, so long has passed since the Lich War. Even if what he heard today was the truth, so what?
It seems like nothing can be changed, right?
"Haha, I have been a mortal for a long time. Maybe it is a trace of obsession that supports me. Now that I have been on the beach with my little friend for a long time, the suffocation in my chest has gone away, and it is time for me to leave."
Li Zhi was shocked when he heard what Hou Yi said.
I came here to listen to a story, but did I hear the remnants of Hou Yi, who had been sitting there for countless years, directly to death?
"Senior, you..."
"Okay, little friend, I just said that it is fate that you and I meet here, so I will leave a souvenir for you."
After Hou Yi finished speaking, a drop of blood as big as a fist floated out from between his eyebrows.
Li Zhi was no stranger to this thing. Back then, at the bottom of "Yingchou Stream", he had obtained a drop of Zhulong's essence and blood. It seemed that Hou Yi's drop of essence and blood was purer.
"Senior, how could I dare to ask you for such a generous gift?——"
Li Zhi was already half-kneeling down, and the drop of essence and blood was hanging above his head. As long as Li Zhi let go of his defense, the essence and blood would enter his body.
"Haha, my little friend is also a cultivator, why are you still so blind to it? I just passed away my regrets here, not that I have completely fallen from now on. Maybe you and I will still meet each other someday."
After Hou Yi finished speaking, his whole body slowly began to fade, and finally disappeared in front of Li Zhi.
"Senior——"
The echo of the canyon resounded above the weak water, but Hou Yi never waited for his answer.
......
"Jiulang, practice practice, practice three points and practice seven points. You came here to resolve the knot in the heart of senior Hou Yi for thousands of years. Maybe this is your "practice"."
"You'd better accept this drop of the great witch's blood essence. If it's completely refined, your physical body will probably reach the realm of a great witch."
Ao Ling's eyes showed envy again, yes
Yes, it’s just envy.
She felt that Li Zhi's blessings were truly incredible. At least the two times she met him, everything he did was incredible.
A witch?
Except for the ancestral witches, the witch clan has never cultivated the soul, but relying solely on the strength of the physical body is enough to run rampant in the prehistoric times.
The physical body of the great witch is more powerful than the physical body of "Daluo Jinxian". Compared with the current Li Zhi, it is three realms higher.
How could Li Zhi miss such a good thing, not to mention that Hou Yi Can Nian just said that the two of them might meet again.
In this case, Li Zhi simply accepted this cause and effect.
Hou Yi's great witch essence and blood entered his body. Li Zhi gestured to Ao Ling, which meant asking her to protect him. Then Li Zhi started refining the great witch's essence and blood on the spot.
With the previous experience of refining the essence and blood of the Zhulong, not to mention that Li Zhi is now in the late stage of "True Immortal", the speed of refining this drop of the Great Witch's essence and blood is obviously much faster.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to know the time, so Ao Ling stayed silently beside Li Zhi. When he got tired of waiting, he sat cross-legged and meditated, but he always kept a trace of his mind and paid attention to the movements around him.
This time is not short. Ao Ling has woken up from meditation six times and still sees Li Zhi still refining.
But Li Zhi's body is slowly changing, and he seems to be getting stronger, and even his face seems to be more mature?
Little did they know, they entered the secret realm and had been sitting there for a year.
"Ah——"
I don’t know how much time passed, but Li Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head and roared uncontrollably.
"Kuro, Kuro, are you okay?"
Ao Ling was so frightened that she woke up from her meditation and asked with concern.
This scene fell into Li Zhi's eyes, but his heart felt warm. Ao Ling's eyes and expression clearly revealed a trace of fatigue.
I must have spent too long refining the great witch essence and blood this time.
"Sister Long, thank you for your hard work..."
Li Zhi didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he had to say "Thank you".
"Humph, you are really like this. Either you stay motionless or say nothing, or you scream like this. Let's get out of this ghost place as soon as possible."
Ao Ling stood up first and shook off the non-existent dust on his body.
While Li Zhi was refining the essence and blood of the Great Witch, he made Ao Ling extremely uncomfortable.
It was quiet all around, and it was still a strange place, as if she was being imprisoned. If Li Zhi hadn't been sitting opposite, I'm afraid this little girl would have gone crazy.
However, she was not completely without gains. Not only did she completely refine the "Qingyun Sword" and master all its uses, but she also further consolidated her later stage of "Xuanxian".
Seeing that we are just one chance away from reaching Great Consummation and then hitting the realm of "Golden Immortal", isn't this what the secret realm trial is for?
"Haha, Sister Long, let me clear the way for you——"
Li Zhi suddenly turned around and punched the mountain cliff on the left.
"Boom——"
There was a loud noise that shook the sky, and Li Zhi punched a large hole half a man's height into the cliff. Strike while the iron was hot, Li Zhi punched again.
"Boom——"
The cliff on the left has completely disappeared, and the endless mountains and forests are in front of us.
"Kuro, you...how did you do it?"
It turns out that this is the power of the great witch?
Li Zhi felt that the force of his attack now was at least ten times that of the original "Defense" when fully opened.
He has already explored ahead, continuing down the weak water stream, with no end within a thousand miles.
And what about thousands of miles later?
Li Zhi believes that this should be a road that will never be finished.
Hou Yi's incident inspired him that the secret realm itself does not exist in space, but in time.
In this case, there is no need for him to go forward. As for the way out...
Fortunately, Li Zhi made the right bet. With two punches, the towering cliff disappeared.
The mountains and forests that appeared again were beautiful and full of vitality.
"Sister Long, six hundred miles ahead, there are people from your dragon clan fighting with others. Should we go over and have a look?"
Li Zhi looked far into the distance and saw three people on the left and in front, besieging a man. However, these four people were not at a low level.
The one being besieged was a dragon, and he was clearly in the middle stage of "Golden Immortal". The three people who besieged him included one in the middle stage of "Golden Immortal" and two in the early stage of "Golden Immortal".
Li Zhi told Ao Ling what he saw and wanted to seek her opinion.
The Dragon Clan of the Three Realms is one family. If Ao Ling wants to go over and help, Li Zhi will naturally accompany him.
If Ao Ling didn't mean that, Li Zhi wouldn't take the initiative to block the fight. After all, those are three real "Golden Immortal" masters.
"Jiulang, that person is probably my eldest cousin, the eldest prince of Xihai, Ao Mo'ang. This time the Dragon Clan is here, he and I."
Ao Ling told the truth, but she did not specify whether she would help or not.
The friendship with this cousin is far less than that of his third brother Xiaobailong Ao Lie. What's more important is that there are three "Golden Immortals" opposite him, and Ao Ling is a little worried about Li Zhi's safety.
"Oh, it turns out he is Senior Brother Ao Lie's eldest brother, so you have to help me no matter what. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be hard for me, my junior brother, to explain myself when I meet Senior Brother Ao Lie later."<
/p>
Li Zhi didn't think much about his own safety. He was such an alternative, and he had never done anything with people below the "Golden Immortal".
What's more, now that a drop of the Great Witch Essence has been completely refined, it is estimated that it can kill a person in the realm of "Golden Immortal" purely by relying on physical strength.
Seeing that Li Zhi didn't care, Ao Ling didn't give any more advice. Regardless of Li Zhi's safety, the first cousin was still the first cousin. Even if the relationship was not close, fortunately there was no bad relationship.
Six hundred miles away, we arrived in the blink of an eye, and the four people in the field were still fighting.
I saw Ao Moang, the prince of the West Sea, wielding a three-edged mace in his hand. His moves were exquisite and his mace was powerful.
Of the three people facing him, the one who was also in the middle stage of "Golden Immortal" was the main attacker, while the other two, one on the left and one on the right, flanked the attack.
Li Zhi could see that if it was a one-on-one duel, Ao Moang should be no worse than any of them, but unfortunately now it is three against one.
Ao Moang could only guard the door tightly, and could only parry, but had no power to fight back.
"You muddy loach, please hand over that treasure just now, otherwise my brothers will be in great luck today. They will have a whole meal of dragon meat to eat, hahaha——"
Seeing that Ao Moang was no longer able to attack, the three men became even more aggressive.
Li Zhi was very surprised. How come these three people are also monsters, but they don't look like people from the Twenty-Eight Constellations. When did so many monsters appear in heaven?
In fact, Li Zhi misunderstood it, saying that it was a "secret trial" in heaven. Anyone who was related could get a few places, and these three are the ones in front of him.
"Kuro..."
Seeing his cousin in danger, the kind-hearted Ao Ling also looked at Li Zhi asking for help.
"How are you guys? We'll share half of it when we meet. If you have any good things, bring them out——"
The four people in the field were fighting in a hurry, but Li Zhi's "cheesy" voice sounded next to him...
