As for where they can go in the end, Li Yan doesn't care, as long as they can get benefits, even if the benefits last until today, after all, they got it, and people can't be too greedy.
Li Yan still didn't know the situation ahead of the long alley where they were.
Their consciousness can still only cover fifty feet away from their current location, and they still don't know how long this long alley is.
The "souls" they have encountered so far are basically in the middle stage of foundation building, and their number has also increased a lot.
Li Yan and the others also tried to rush together with the three of them half a month ago. That time, they moved forward for more than 400 feet when they were surrounded by dense "souls" who attacked the three of them crazily.
Those attacks fell like a hail of arrows on the three of them. Although they could easily kill these "souls", they could not escape the fate of being attacked.
The attack direction of the "soul" was only known when it was close to their bodies, so those attacks were overwhelming and basically fell on the three of them.
If they hadn't used all their magic to activate all the defenses, and if these "souls" were of a weak level, they might have been trapped in it that time.
In the end, the three of them reluctantly retreated after being attacked countless times and with 80% of their soul-healing elixirs used up.
Since that time, Li Yan has completely given up the idea of forcing his way through.
After this battle, the three of them discussed it carefully.
The final opinion is also surprisingly consistent. If the disciples of the "Soul Prison Tribe" tried here, there would definitely be other ways to quit midway.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.
Otherwise, most monks come here basically to die.
Now that the three souls have been tempered, they can allow up to two attacks to enter the sea of consciousness at the same time, but this is already the limit.
Half a month later, when Shuang Qingqing returned to the Tianling Clan, Bai Rou was waiting for her alone.
"Master, you haven't found them either?"
Bai Rou's pretty face is getting whiter and whiter, which is a sign of losing color.
"No, but I also got some news. After searching the souls of some monks, I found from their memories that Li Yan and the others had indeed entered the secret cave.
It was last discovered more than three months ago, near the river in the secret cave. The two seemed to be looking for something.
This is consistent with what Li Yan once said about looking for the 'Haohan Stone', and no one has seen them since.
I checked the entire river from beginning to end, but couldn't find any trace of them, and the guards there couldn't remember whether Li Yan came out."
Shuang Qingqing paused for a moment after saying this. She had actually searched for the souls of at least twenty people in the underground cave and killed many of them.
But the news I got was really not much.
The Jindan monks who guarded the underground secret cave were so mixed with monks that they couldn't even remember whether people like Li Yan and Zhao Min went out.
"Then they..."
Bai Rou's eyes revealed A sad look.
"Don't worry, unless they are in a desperate situation like the crack in the Yin Mo Cliff, it will be difficult for them to have that kind of luck again.
But that kind of danger is not something that is always there. If others want to kill them with their combined strength alone, I still say that it will be very difficult!"
Shuang Qingqing can also be so comforted.
However, she was already worried on her way back. There were also a lot of golden elixirs in the underground secret cave. If many people joined forces, the worst situation might happen.
"Okay, let's wait for a while, maybe we can see them tomorrow!"
Shuang Qingqing looked at Bai Rou's slightly red eyes and said softly.
Shuang Qingqing was just like Li Yan. She didn't expect what would happen next. She waited for three years and the two never came back.
Finally, at Shuang Fengyan's urging, Shuang Qingqing and San Nian left with Bai Rou alone, just as they had come to Qingqing Continent together.
However, Bai Rou's cultivation had greatly increased at this time, and she could vaguely feel that her opportunity to form a pill was slowly approaching.
Similarly, in the fourth year after Li Yan disappeared, Su Hong also left Qingqing Continent with Mi'er.
"This person is really heartless. Even if you have the ability to leave here, at least you should say something before leaving.
I still want to compete with you, I haven’t seen your ghost in four years, hum!”
Su Hong was dissatisfied before leaving. She also made a guess after getting the news that Shuang Qingqing should have left.
It is not easy to get the whereabouts of a Nascent Soul cultivator, unless "Gui Gu Lai Xi" really sends out strong men of the same level to keep an eye on the opponent.
Therefore, it was not until several months after Shuang Qingqing left that they analyzed some of the signs and concluded that the two elders of the Tianling Tribe had left.
After Su Hong got the news, she immediately determined that Shuang Qingqing was most likely taking Li Yan and the others away.
He had helped Li Yan a lot, and even helped him deliver news to Desolate Moon Continent, but the black-skinned boy didn't even reveal any news to him when he left.
This made Su Hong feel very unhappy, and she could only leave with Mi'er in anger.
Time will not change just because there is one more person in the world or one person is missing. It still passes alternately in the changing sun and moon.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the tenth year that Li Yan and the others had entered the underground cave.
Looking at the unchanging gray long alley in front of him, Li Yan, standing aside and protecting the two of them, sighed helplessly in his heart.
If he and Zhao Min were not both determined people, whoever saw the same dark scene every day and every moment in the past ten years might have gone crazy.
Just like Zikun, his character eventually entered the "earth spot" at some point. He wanted to see the bright light.
of heaven and earth.
Usually after staying in "Tuban" for a period of time, they will be willing to come out again.
Now Li Yan and the others have met the "souls" in the early and middle stages of Jindan.
However, the existence of this level of "souls" is already very rare, and they will no longer appear in large numbers like they did in the past.
They are often separated by hundreds of feet and only one or two will come out occasionally, but they are even more difficult to deal with.
"Go on, Zi Kun will be the protector this time!"
A clear and melodious sound sounded like the impact of ice cubes.
In the past ten years, not only has Zhao Min's appearance not changed at all, but because her soul has become stronger, Zhao Min's overall popularity has become extremely strong.
Her originally snow-white skin was even smoother, white and rosy, and so gorgeous that it made people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.
Li Yan still had short hair, and the muscles under his black robe followed the gentle movement of his body, tightening pieces of the robe from time to time, giving the impression that the muscles under the robe were beating flexibly.
Li Yan, with short hair, is more like a Dharma Protector. Without concealing his aura, his aura appears strong and domineering.
In just ten years, their souls grew at an alarming rate. Of course, this was compared to their previous soul strength.
If we only look at the progress of the soul as a whole, it is probably 20 to 30% better than before.
If this were replaced by pure training of mana, with such training conditions in ten years, the mana would definitely be twice as diligent as before.
Li Yan's cultivation level has also reached the realm of false infants, and Zhao Min has also reached the point where he is faintly about to break through the bottleneck of the late golden elixir stage, and is not far from the realm of false infants.
But Zikun used to have a divine soul body, and his soul was already powerful, but he progressed the slowest among the three.
There is still a long way to go before he can break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, but he has gained something. His current combat power is far beyond that of a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
The soul of the crossbow insect king has also been greatly improved. It is still a second-level monster, but the attack speed and power of controlling the crossbow insect swarm have more than doubled.
If the crossbow swarm were to face an early-stage Jindan monk like An Die now, although they could not kill him, they would definitely be seriously injured in the end.
Moreover, in the past ten years, Li Yan and Zhao Min have practiced the hidden skill "Tide Tide" at the same time, and they have both reached the entry level.
At this time, the two of them continued to suppress their cultivation, and it was already difficult for anyone among the Jindan monks to discern the truth.
Especially since Li Yan himself still had the hidden aura of the "Guishui Sutra", Li Yan felt that even Shuang Qingqing, who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, might not be able to see his true state at this time.
"Okay, then continue!"
Li Yan repeated the words he had said countless times.
Immediately, he and Zhao Minren shot out, and soon a huge shadow floated in front of them. It was a third-level "ghost-faced bone scorpion"...
Three years later! Li Yan and the other two allowed each other's attacks to come to them. Although the sea of consciousness was still painful and made people shudder, it was no longer a huge obstacle to their attacks.
The sky was filled with ice arrows, wind blades and claw shadows overlapping each other. After half a stick of incense, the last three golden elixir-level "souls" in front turned into pieces and quickly drifted away.
Upon seeing this, the three people immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and began to repair the wounds in the sea of consciousness.
More than half an hour later, Li Yan stood up first. Several years later, the level of "soul" continued to increase.
The souls of the three of them are also growing. Nowadays, the number of golden elixir-level "souls" is even rarer. Unless you deliberately attract them, many of them will gather.
Therefore, after they kill each other, they no longer deliberately keep people to protect the law, but practice together.
"In the past half year, many false infant realm 'souls' have appeared. If we encounter such existences from the beginning, there is a 70% chance that we will be instantly killed by the opponent while we are unconscious."
Li Yan thought in his heart that as their souls continued to grow stronger, the sea of consciousness also became unusually tough.
Now if they meet those "souls" in the foundation building stage again, they can stand still and let the other party attack. At most, the sea of consciousness will be constantly shaken, and it will just shake the tree!
Now that Li Yan and the others are very familiar with the attack methods of "souls", it is difficult for the ghost-like attacks of "souls" of the same level to easily break through the defense of the three of them.
"Souls" have very weak defenses without a physical body. This is different from real soul cultivators who have a physical body. Li Yan and the others can kill them quite easily.
It's just that once Zi Kun encounters a "soul" whose level is higher than his own, he will need to spend more time.
"If the flow rate of time here is the same as that in the outside world, more than three years should have passed by now. Going forward, there may be Nascent Soul-level 'souls'. How will we deal with them then?"
Li Yan looked at the unchanging dark long alley ahead, his heart already numb. The sight that did not change day after day had turned into the same scene before him forever.
Even if he is as determined as he is, he still feels extremely bored and powerless in his heart, but now the problem he was most worried about has finally appeared.
While Li Yan was thinking, Zhao Min, dressed in white, also stood up.
"Thinking about the road ahead?"
Now the two of them can say that they have the same mind. You can basically know what the other person is thinking just by taking a glance at it.
This is not only because they are together all the time, but also because of a pair of "heart-wrenching worms" in their bodies.
They have become more and more closely aligned with the two people's bloodlines, and their mutual induction has become more sensitive and understanding.
"My feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger today. Later, you will use a long spiritual rope to hold me and keep a distance of fifty feet from me.
As soon as I sense that there is any problem with the 'soul' that appears, I will take the initiative to withdraw, and you pull me back as fast as you can!"
