"It's good to have no spiritual energy. No spiritual energy means it's safe!" Ning Chen murmured to himself.
I don't know if this holy land has any rules restricting flying, so Ning Chen didn't fly in the air, but jumped through the mountains and forests, and soon arrived at the center of the entire holy land.
There are only four peaks with buildings and formations, one big and three small. Moreover, this formation is not a powerful protective formation. It just serves as a gathering of spirits, covering spiritual consciousness and sight, and warning and driving away wild beasts.
function.
Even so, these formations are already on the verge of collapse, and can only survive with some remaining spiritual energy.
However, because the formation has not collapsed, these four peaks are also very lucky not to be disturbed by wild beasts. The buildings on the mountains are still intact, and even because of the formation, they look like people living in normal times.
Ning Chen picked a mountain peak on the edge and stepped into it slowly.
With his current level of cultivation and formation strength, these guarding formations that were on the verge of collapse were nothing to him, so he simply made a few hand seals and passed through the formations.
In the past, it did not cause any reaction from the formation.
Slowly walking up the mountain, Ning Chen found that the entire mountain peak was dotted with some scattered small courtyards and buildings from bottom to top. They seemed to be the residences of the Holy Land disciples in those days, and there were no other places for alchemy, weapon refining, and martial arts competitions.
So he went all the way up the mountain, picked several buildings in succession, and walked in. He found that all the buildings were empty, no resources were found, and no bodies were found.
"What's going on?" Ning Chen's eyes flickered, a little strange, "Did they finally run out from underground? Then wouldn't it be a huge loss for me to risk my life and come in?"
But this doubt was completely solved when he finally reached the top of the mountain.
I saw hundreds of bones sitting densely on the path in front of the main hall on the top of the mountain and in the forest.
"I'll go! Fortunately, I used my spiritual sense to see it first, otherwise I would have been scared to death!" Ning Chen stood on the periphery, watching this slightly terrifying scene.
"What's going on? Could it be that because we couldn't get out, we completely lost hope, and then everyone committed suicide together and died?"
Ning Chen walked among the bones and then came to the main entrance of the mountaintop hall.
The door of the main hall was closed, but not locked. Ning Chen stretched out his hand and pushed it gently, and the closed door was pushed open silently.
A very ordinary hall, dozens of feet in diameter, made entirely of high-quality jade. The decoration of the hall is primitive and simple, and it is extremely empty. Except for a three-foot-high wall carving carved on the front of the hall, there is almost nothing else.
In front of the wall carvings and on the front of the hall, there is also a white skeleton sitting.
The difference is that this white skeleton still has a storage ring on the finger of his right hand and a jade slip on his hand.
Ning Chen did not move, carefully feeling the fluctuations in the surrounding space, checking whether there was any hidden formation in the hall.
After a long time without finding anything, Ning Chen waved his hand and took the jade slip into his hand.
After carefully checking for a long time and confirming that there was no problem, Ning Chen probed his spiritual sense into the jade slip, and then he knew the cause and effect of this holy place.
This holy place is called Qingkong Sect, and it was founded by Master Qingkong in the Nascent Soul stage.
Consistent with the reasons recorded by the Mingji Sect, Master Qingkong left shortly after founding the Qingkong Sect. However, unlike the inexplicable disappearance recorded by the Mingji Sect, the disciples of the Qingkong Sect clearly knew that their ancestor was
I went to another continent with my friends.
However, when Master Qingkong left, he said he would return in a hundred years, but they waited for a thousand years. As a result, not only did they not wait for their ancestor, but they also waited for the sect's enemies.
In order not to be destroyed by the enemy, all the Jindan monks in the sect joined forces to use the backhand left by the ancestor, using the Great Teleportation Technique to move the entire mountain gate. However, due to the opponent's obstruction, there was a mistake in the casting of the spell.
, moved the mountain gate hundreds of miles underground, and also integrated the mountain protection formation with the underground earth and rocks.
Due to the backlash of the spell error, several late-stage Jindan monks in the entire sect were all dead at that time, and most of the middle-stage Jindan monks were also dead. The remaining few were also injured one after another and could hardly do anything anymore.
And after paying such a high price, they discovered to their horror that without the late-stage Jindan monks, the mountain-protecting formation was no longer within their control.
It cannot be entered or exited, and it has merged with the surrounding earth and rock veins, causing some inexplicable changes.
This means that unless there are three late-stage Jindan monks or the Yuanying Ancestor personally takes action, they will not be able to get out of this formation at all!
The formation that was supposed to protect them turned into a cage that imprisoned them.
Don't even think about reaching the Nascent Soul realm. Their biggest hope is that three more people can advance to the late stage of the Golden Core, break the formation, and escape with the monks of Qingkong Sect.
So they pooled their resources and tried their best to support several talented disciples in the sect.
After closing the sect's weapon refining hall, alchemy pavilion and other halls, everyone gathered on the four peaks, led by the four geniuses that the sect fully supported.
And the owner of the jade slip in front of Ning Chen is one of the geniuses.
But unfortunately, they failed.
One by one, his fellow disciples who had no resources finally died facing the main hall, and he could only watch helplessly until all the monks on the mountain where he was located died. He was still lingering in the middle stage of the Golden Core, with no hope of the late Golden Core stage.
Ning Chen shook his head, what a sad story.
After putting away the jade slip, Ning Chen took the storage ring and inspected it carefully again.
In the end, the jade slip only introduced that all the monks in this mountain peak were dead, and did not say what happened to him in the end.
Although it seemed that he had exhausted his lifespan and died of old age here, or had committed suicide because there was no hope, Ning Chen still did not dare to be careless.
The Illya witch on the earth has developed a different kind of immortality with her cultivation in the Qi refining period. Who knows if the genius of the Qingkong Sect in front of her has similar means of stripping the soul from the body and possessing it in a jade slip or storage item?
Take the ring and wait for the day to come again in a few years.
Within the mountain gate of Qingkong Sect, Ning Chen's spirit has been highly tense and he has never relaxed for a moment.
However, there was nothing unusual about the storage ring. Ning Chen carefully probed his spiritual sense into the storage ring and discovered a mountain of middle and low-grade spiritual stones in the storage ring, as well as hundreds of thousands of magical weapons, elixirs, and materials of various grades.
,ore.
All the resources in the entire mountain are contained in this storage ring.
Until his death, he did not reach the late stage of Jindan cultivation, nor did he use up the resources allocated to him. Now he has taken advantage of Ning Chen.
