Lan Qiyao quietly stared at the map of the secret realm in front of her, with no emotion on her beautiful face. Dozens of elders around her held their breath and kept silent, patiently waiting for orders from Her Royal Highness the Saint.
The map given by the Taoist high-level officials is relatively rough, and many sensitive areas are missing. It can only be used as a reference at most. After monks from various Taoist forces enter the secret realm, they mainly have to rely on their own exploration.
If the monks are unlucky and inadvertently break into some natural and dangerous areas, or the territory of dangerous and dangerous animals, then they can only hope for good luck.
In fact, this is nothing. If the monks from an orthodox force can form a group to act, safety can still be guaranteed. If we adopt the method of zoning responsibility, as long as there is enough time, we can stitch together and draw a more accurate picture.
Secret map, that is also completely feasible.
The key is that the secret realm of the Youxuan Taoist Cave is so vast that a mere hundred days is not enough to use it. The higher-ups of the Taoist court will not let you take advantage of the loopholes.
The more troublesome problem is that when the monks enter the secret realm, they will be randomly transported to an area. It is possible anywhere in the world. Because the laws of the great road inside are different from those in the outside world, monks of the same force want to re-enter the secret realm.
It was too difficult to get in touch and get together in time.
The reason why Su Zhengji failed was not only because of his own bad luck, but also because he failed to gather all his disciples in time. Otherwise, if tens of thousands of elite killers acted together, no matter what kind of orthodox forces would have to stay away, they would also be attacked by Yunmeng.
Will the disciples of the Heavenly Palace fight back?
Now this important task falls on Lan Qiyao, and how to break the situation is also a big challenge for her. If she cannot effectively solve this problem, the transcript she hands over in the end may not be as good as Su Zhengji.
Now that the opportunity has been lost, most of the disciples of Yunmeng Tiangong have gathered together. The Shadow Killing Palace wants to reverse the situation. How easy is it to complete this task?
It's just that... no matter how difficult the task is, someone has to do it. Lan Qiyao knows it well. This is a special test for her by her master. Whether she can complete it successfully will directly affect her status as the helmsman in the future.
"Elders,"
After thinking about her words for a while, Lan Qiyao finally said: "About this mission, I plan to..."
…
In the secret realm.
On the endless plain, green spiritual grass like a giant carpet fills the field of vision. The flowers are in bloom, the spiritual energy is steaming, and occasionally a bright glow can be seen, which is probably where some kind of sacred medicine is hidden.
On the blue sky, from time to time, blue spiritual birds with a wingspan of more than a hundred feet can be seen flying quickly, leaving a faint trail of stars behind them, and the faint sound of wind and thunder echoes. This is the overlord of Xingpeng Plains:
Leiyu Xingpeng. A kind of gregarious ferocious creature. Adult individuals have the strength close to that of Yuanxian and have extremely high intelligence.
Among the many ferocious creatures born and raised in the secret realm, this Thunder Feather Star Peng definitely belongs to the level with the highest value. Of course, it is also the level that is least likely to be provoked. If a monk who is not strong enough dares to attack them, he will basically be killed.
What happens if they divide and eat each other.
However, in the map given by the Taoist court, Xingpeng was one of the few areas that was introduced in more detail, especially the various functions of the Leiyu Xingpeng. The Taoist court also offered a very high reward.
, as long as a monk hunts this kind of vicious beast and turns it in, he can get corresponding generous rewards.
Its feather bones, blood eyes, and inner elixir core all have a lot of uses, and the meat tastes extremely delicious. It can also greatly replenish vitality and improve cultivation. It is a rare and rare medicine for monks.
However, this vicious beast is not easy to provoke. In recent days, groups of monks have come over from time to time to try to hunt. As a result, they are often beaten until they run around in panic. Many unlucky guys have become the prey of this vicious beast.
Only a handful of people succeed by luck.
Think about a large group of ferocious birds whose average strength is close to that of Yuanxian. They join forces to cover up and kill them. How many Taoist forces can resist? Even if they can, I'm afraid they will have to pay a huge price.
After all, the monks here can only show their strength in the Ascension Realm. At most, they have more fighting skills and experience. Even with powerful magic weapons, they cannot exert too much power. Facing these indigenous ferocious beasts, they are really at a disadvantage.
According to the map given by the Taoist court, there is a large area of palace ruins in the core area of Xingpengyuan. The opportunities hidden inside are extremely rare and rare. It is said that even heavenly medicine, ancient elixirs, lost heaven-reaching skills and supernatural powers, and acquired spiritual treasures are not available.
In short, as long as you can come out alive, you will basically not come back empty-handed.
If you want to reach this place, you must first try to cross hundreds of millions of miles of Xingpeng Plains, break through the numerous Leiyu Xingpeng who are chasing and blocking them, and finally set foot on the palace ruins in the central area.
Since the first batch of monks appeared in the edge area of Xingpeng Plain seven days ago, the number of monks who have rushed over has reached more than 100,000. Whether they sneaked in alone or in groups, they were all detected by Leiyu Xingpeng in time.
, and returned defeated.
So far, very few monks have been lucky enough to succeed and break into the core area. Most of the monks can only surround Xingpengyuan from a distance, looking at the original and sighing.
"...It's a nice place."
On the front deck of the starship, Qin Muling stared at the extremely vast plain in front of him. With his perceptual ability, he discovered dozens of elixir resources worth collecting at a casual glance. And the deeper you go, the more good things you get.
It's just that this is the sphere of influence of Leiyu Xingpeng. Just looking at the groups of vigorous figures passing by in the distant sky and the pressure full of animalistic atmosphere, you can understand that this is not a place where anyone can run wild.
In the edge area below, there are many temporary camps scattered in groups in the east and west. They are all monks from different Taoist forces. These guys were unable to break through the interception of Leiyu Xingpeng and were unwilling to leave just now, so they gathered in
Waiting for opportunity here.
Xue Bingxuan glanced around and said: "There seem to be people from those hostile forces in the camp, but the number is not large. Do you want to clear the place first?"
"Of course, this is necessary."
Qin Muling said without hesitation that he also found the disciples of Shadow Kill Palace and Xuanji Star Palace, but there were only more than a hundred people in them. It may be that the rest of them haven't had time to arrive, or the previous group has already rushed in.
, leaving only them who came late.
Yu Lingzhou and other Supreme Elders had no objections, so the star boat hovered in mid-air, and thousands of female cultivators flew out in formation, like birds of prey hunting rabbits, and pounced on the targeted targets.
With an absolute advantage in numbers, magic weapons, and luck, these guys didn't even put up any decent resistance, so they were packed into dumplings. Hundreds of people in total died cleanly.
The disciples of the Taoist forces around them just looked on with cold eyes, and no one stood up for them. In the world of spiritual practice, such scenes of seeking revenge are commonplace, and everyone is used to it.
"Okay, now let's discuss how to enter the core area of Xingpengyuan."
After clearing the enemies, Xue Bingxuan said.
In fact, there are only two possible strategies. If you are strong enough, break in and kill all the Lei Yu Xingpeng who dare to attack. The other option is to sneak in secretly.
With the lineup of elder disciples from Yunmeng Tiangong, it is not impossible to break through forcefully, but the casualties are hard to say. Qin Muling roughly estimates that by the time they rush into the core area, at least 30% of the disciples will die halfway. This is obviously
It's not the result he wants to see.
If you choose to infiltrate, as long as it goes smoothly enough, you can reach the core area without any damage.
"Although there are many magical methods for concealing traces and concealing auras in the sect, none of them are foolproof. What's more, it is too difficult to ensure that so many fellow disciples and sisters are not exposed."
Tianjun Yueyi frowned and said in deep thought, the cultivation realms of the elders' disciples were uneven and could not be taken into account at all. Moreover, Lei Yu Xingpeng was alert and suspicious by nature, and was by no means an easy master to fool. If only one of them was accidentally exposed by then,
His deeds will inevitably affect everyone.
"Junior brother, do you have any idea?"
Yu Lingzhou looked at Qin Muling and asked quietly with his spiritual thoughts.
She thought of Qin Muling's method of transporting massive resources in the Mist and Fantasy Secret Realm. If she could smuggle everyone in using this method, they would naturally be able to pass without any damage.
Of course, this secret is too closely related and cannot be exposed to outsiders, otherwise the consequences will not be as serious as usual.
Qin Muling thought for a while and responded with her spiritual mind: "Yes, but you must ensure that they are not informed."
The internal space derived from the phantom of the green lotus leaf could not carry living creatures at first. However, Qin Muling has now reached the inner demon realm, and the internal space has been upgraded and transformed many times. Now there is no such restriction, let alone the past two years.
Thousands of senior fellow apprentices, even one hundred and eighty thousand monks can be packed in and transported away at once.
"Okay, I'll take care of the confidentiality, just don't worry."
Yu Lingzhou couldn't help but say it, and then he took Xue Bingxuan, Bingyuan Tianjun, Yueyi Tianjun and other girls to discuss in secret for a while before finalizing the decision.
The star boat turned a corner and accelerated away, quickly leaving the perception range of the outer sect monks and flying millions of miles until it landed in a remote and uninhabited valley.
Next, under Yu Lingzhou's order, all the disciples swore a great oath, promising never to leak what they saw and heard today. Then they all entered the inner cabin of the star boat to rest, and were restrained and shielded by layers of formations.
Make sure that no matter what happens to the outside world, they will not notice it.
"Okay, little junior brother, can we set off now?"
On a giant rock, Yu Lingzhou said with a smile.
Qin Muling nodded slightly, and a ray of clear light emerged from his body, turning into a huge green lotus leaf shadow, and directly absorbed the star boat not far away and disappeared.
At this moment, only Yu Lingzhou, Bingyuan Tianjun, and Yueyi Tianjun, the three supreme elders, were left by his side. They were responsible for protecting Qin Muling's safety.
Senior sister Xue Bingxuan originally wanted to stay outside to protect Qin Muling, but Yu Lingzhou openly refused because of insufficient cultivation.
Yu Lingzhou felt that her reasons were sufficient. After all, everything was for the safety of her junior brother, not because of other small thoughts. She told herself with certainty that this was the whole story and she would not accept any refutation.
"It really works."
Tianjun Yueyi was happy with his eyebrows, and Zhanran's beautiful eyes were shining. With the methods of his junior brother, let alone passing the test safely, I am afraid that many rare resources in the Xingpeng Plain can be easily taken away, right?
It can be seen that the junior brother is not only the good fortune of the sect, but also their good fortune.
Bingyuan Tianjun hugged Qin Muling, smiled sweetly and said: "Let's set off, the opportunity in Xingpengyuan must belong to us."
Qin Muling agreed and activated his magical power of concealment. The whole person disappeared in an instant. He could not even figure out the destiny path. Even the three supreme elders who were very close at hand took turns using various secret techniques, and they could not detect the slightest trace.
Clues.
"how?"
After a few breaths, Qin Muling reappeared.
"It goes without saying that as long as you are here from now on, we really won't have much to worry about!"
Elder Loli touched him a few times, smiling with crooked eyes. The younger brother could always bring them different surprises inadvertently. As long as they hold on to him, maybe their cultivation will be further improved in the future.
Or even become a quasi-holy emperor?
Less than half an hour later, Qin Muling, accompanied by the three women, returned to the edge of Xingpeng Yuan. He used a secret method to hide his figure, briefly identified the location, and then sneaked in quietly.
Observed from a close distance, the number of spiritual plants in Xingpeng Yuan is beyond imagination. The green spiritual plants several feet high are so dense that you can’t see the edge. The grade is not very high, but the number can be called terrifying, but it is the basic level in Taixu Starry Sky.
Impossible.
In this dense sea of spiritual grass, there are also a large number of flowers and medicinal herbs. Clusters of fat mushrooms with flashing light can be seen everywhere at the roots of the grass. It can be judged from the pure and soft breath that these mushrooms are not poisonous.
They are all rare elixirs and treasures.
Qin Muling thought for a moment, and Qinghui swept out of his body, and rolled all these mushrooms into the space inside his body to store them. All types of spiritual grass and spiritual plants that he saw should be collected and brought back to the sect's main altar for study in the future.
If it is useful, you can try large-scale cultivation and planting.
In the sea of grass that looks like a dense forest, snow-white rabbits the size of calves can be seen scurrying around from time to time, as well as pheasants with brilliant feathers, roe deer, wild boars, and countless spiritual birds and beasts that cannot be named, and together with them
Many nests have been found, including unopened babies, unhatched eggs, etc.
These guys have been living for a long time, and they are full of energy, blood, and vitality. If you pick one out at random, they are all delicious elixirs. Needless to say, Qin Muling pocketed them all.
Since there were too many good things worth collecting, the speed of travel was not particularly fast. Later, the three women who were in the invisible state also helped collect. When the space bracelet was full, they were given to the younger brother. Anyway, the space volume in his body was large enough.
, with a radius of more than two thousand miles, it can accommodate any number of space magic weapons.
Thousands of miles deep, the sounds of wind and thunder in the sky above our heads become more and more dense. Through the gaps between the grass blades, it is not difficult to find a large number of thunder-feathered stars flying by, including their sharp eyes and flashing wings of thunder.
, and the subtle patterns on the feathers are clearly visible.
As the solid pressure came one after another, Qin Muling also put away her relaxed and comfortable thoughts and walked silently with the three women. Their secret magic powers to cover up their tracks were also good, and they were not too worried about being discovered.
"The taste of this vicious creature should be very good. It would be great if I could catch a few of them and try them out."
Qin Muling spoke to the three women with her spiritual thoughts.
Yu Lingzhou pondered slightly: "It should be... ok. If we can find the lone Leiyu Xingpeng to attack, with the strength of the three of us, it will not be difficult to kill him with one strike."
"I think it would be great if we could find their nest, steal some eggs, and bring them back to the sect to hatch and cultivate them. Maybe we can create a powerful army of spiritual pets." Tianjun Yueyi suggested.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Qin Muling suddenly became interested, and his innate perception power was quietly activated, and any disturbance within a radius of more than a thousand miles was presented in his mind in detail.
As we go deeper, the whistling sound of the Thunder Feather Star Peng that penetrates the metal and stone rises one after another. Occasionally, we can see the juvenile Star Peng falling in the grass to preen its feathers or forage for food.
They seem to be omnivorous species. Whether it is mushrooms, spiritual fruits, or spiritual beasts and birds, it is their food, and they put it into their mouths whenever they catch it.
While Qin Muling was still hesitating, a dense sound of flapping wings came from above his head, and a young starpeng bird that had not yet fully grown its feathers stumbled into the grass, less than a thousand feet away from him, looking around with immature and curious eyes.
Although it is a cub, it can stand up to the height of an elephant. If it is taken back and slaughtered, its stomach filled with a large amount of elixirs and rare treasures, and then grilled together, it will taste very good.
Yu Lingzhou, who was in the invisible state, could no longer restrain himself from taking action. Several extremely condensed sword lights passed by silently, dismembering the cub easily, and then a freezing spell fell, sealing its body in ice, and then
It was stored inside the space bracelet.
The whole process was completed in less than one breath, and an adult thunder-feathered star roc patrolling the sky had lost the breath of a young bird before it could react.
By the time it realized something was wrong and pounced down to look for its child, Qin Muling and the others were already hundreds of miles away, and no trace could be found.
The anxious and angry roar of Leiyu Xingpeng came from far behind, and it was rolling incessantly. It also attracted many of its kind to help it search, but it had nothing to do with Qin Muling.
A moment later, another lone Xingpeng cub was discovered. This time, Qin Muling took action himself, easily killed it, sealed it in ice and stuffed it into a bracelet in space, then changed its direction and fled far away at high speed. The whole process was completed in one go.
In this way, the four of them flew and beat the autumn wind. After half a day's work, dozens of Xingpeng cubs had already arrived, and they could have a hearty meal when they returned.
After going millions of miles deeper, the surrounding environment seemed to have changed. The vegetation on the ground became denser and denser, and the number of Leiyu Xingpeng responsible for patrol duties in the sky was much greater, so that the power in the space became even more intense.
The pressure field becomes more and more intimidating.
Qin Muling continued to sneak quietly. After passing through a large area of exceptionally dense spiritual grass, the scenery in front of him made him lose his mind for a moment.
Each of the nests with a diameter of more than a hundred feet is half-buried in the ground, surrounded by dense spiritual grass. Only the upper part is exposed. The bright rays of light flicker through it. Occasionally, a large adult Thunder Feather Star Peng can be seen rising and falling in the nest.
, and brought back prey of different shapes.
Needless to say, these are the residences of Leiyu Xingpeng. If he is really sleepy, someone will give him a pillow.
Qin Muling immediately touched it, carefully bypassing the nests guarded by adult Thunder Feather Star Peng, and only selected those quiet nests to attack.
After looking at several empty nests, I finally discovered the latest nest. Four bird eggs, which were the size of a water tank and covered with faint blue stripes, lay quietly inside. The whole body was covered with bright sunlight, and the surface of the eggshells
There was a faint flash of electricity.
“It’s so good, it’s a rare delicious food!”
Qin Muling put it away excitedly, and said to the three girls with her spiritual thoughts: "Keep searching, search more, and I will treat you to eggs when I get back!"
