In a valley deep in the territory of the Wood Spirit Tribe, there is a tree stump with a diameter of thousands of feet, entrenched in the valley like a hill as big as a millstone. Emerald green runes can be faintly seen on the surface of the dry and yellow bark, as if it is pregnant with something.
A special vitality.
In a tree hole deep in the Mopan tree stump, nine Wood Spirit monks gathered in a circle. They sat cross-legged, surrounded by bright emerald green vitality. A terrifying aura permeated the surroundings.
They are all terrifying existences at the level of refining the void.
The leader is an old man with gray-green hair and a withered face. The emerald green energy around him is the strongest, leading the energy of others.
Mysterious runes flashed in the depths of these halos, and they were arranged in a special array. Except for the withered old man, the other eight Void Refining monks frowned, as if they were comprehending something.
Suddenly, the haggard old man at the head suddenly opened his eyes, and the halo of the rotating runes around him trembled and slowly dissipated.
At the same time, an old woman wearing brocade clothes across from her suddenly woke up with a look of surprise in her eyes.
The other Wood Spirit Tribe monks also noticed the strange movement and stopped comprehending. Next to the withered old man was a half-human, half-tree man. He said directly: "Great Elder, what's wrong?"
The withered old man did not answer directly, but looked at the old woman opposite. Her withered mouth turned into wood and could not be opened. A voice came from her chest: "Sixth Elder, the life runes of Mu Wan and Mu Lan have also disappeared.
Already?"
The old woman nodded solemnly, then her face changed and she said: "Great Elder, could it be that Mu Lei and the others also..."
"They also died. If I'm not mistaken, they died within the Dead Soul River."
The haggard old man known as the Great Elder showed no emotion in his eyes. He just raised his head and looked to the east, as if he was looking at the River of Dead Souls in the distance.
When the other elders saw this scene, they all showed a bit of shock.
"Mu Lei and the others all died?"
"No way, Great Elder, they just went to arrange holy water, how could they all die?"
"If you die in the Dead Soul River, will a dead soul appear?"
"Impossible, the altar is on the edge. There have never been dead soul soldiers there. At most, there are only dead soul soldiers at the peak of god transformation."
Listening to everyone's words, the great elder's body and chest shook and said: "The thunder beads I gave Mu Lei and the others can completely scare away a dead soul general and make them all fall. It must be dozens of dead soul soldiers, and even some
A dead soul will lead the team."
"How is it possible? Such a thing has never happened in tens of thousands of years!"
The withered old man shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that the riot of dead soul creatures was recorded once in the ancient books."
The half-tree man's expression changed and he said: "Great Elder, are you talking about the riot of dead soul creatures caused by a demon king from the demon clan entering the river of dead souls more than 100,000 years ago?"
Hearing these words, the other elders of the Wood Spirit Tribe all looked shocked.
"Has another demon entered the Dead Soul River?"
"The dead soul soldiers that Mulan encountered last time seemed to be dead soul armor made from demons. Could it have anything to do with this?"
The withered old man listened to everyone's discussion and remained silent for a moment. "There must be some connection between the high-grade holy water that appeared strangely at the altar, the riot of dead soul creatures, the weird dead soul generals, and the sacrifices of human monks."
"Holy water is related to the advancement of high-level monks of our clan. Second Elder, Sixth Elder, and Ninth Elder, please go and investigate the situation. With your clan's sacred objects, even if you encounter a dead soul riot, or a real demon,
Sir, you can escape unscathed."
As he spoke, the withered old man's chest slowly split open, and something like a tree root came out of it. It looked extremely ugly, just like a random tree root dug up in the mountain.
Everyone showed respect when they saw this tree root that looked like a mortal thing. The half-tree man next to the great elder bowed and took the root with both hands. His originally nervous expression suddenly relaxed a lot.
, it seems that with this tree root, the danger of dead soul creatures is greatly reduced.
"Mu Lei and the others died near Altar No. 3. Before that, Mu Lan encountered a dead soul creature with demon armor at Altar No. 5."
"You should go explore these two places and see if you can find any clues. As for the human sacrifices, we are not in a hurry. We will wait until the cause of the riot of dead soul creatures is found out."
"Yes, Great Elder, let's go now." The half-tree man, the old woman, and a young man at the end stood up and saluted. A token appeared in their hands, and with a flash of spiritual light, they disappeared into the tree hole.
.
Looking at the remaining old men, the withered old man closed his eyes again, his chest shook and said: "Continue to understand the secret technique of wood and stone. This is improved by me and fellow Taoist Shi Lei. Only by cultivating it to great perfection, you and Tianshi can
Fellow Taoists of the tribe can use the dual spirit secret technique at the early and middle stage of Xu Lianxing, and their self-protection power will be greatly increased."
Hearing these words, an old man couldn't help but said: "Great Elder, will the demons really pass through the wilderness three hundred years later?"
The haggard old man was silent for a moment and said: "This is what the old monster from the Star Soul Tribe agreed to. Without this condition, it would not be so easy for the Demon Tribe to cease the war."
"After all, in addition to the ancient vitality in the wilderness, there are also some places with primitive demonic energy."
"Although the combined body and above cannot enter the wilderness, the Demon Clan will definitely arrange for the strong Demon Lord to go in and escort him. Needless to say, the Star Soul Clan, the old guy's physical body will definitely go in to contain the Demon Lord."
"The Demon Clan and the Star Soul Clan have the strongest Void Refining Combat Power, the Blood Shadow Clan's magical powers are weird, and only we and the Sky Stone Clan are the weakest. Without the help of this secret technique, it would be too dangerous for you to go in."
Hearing these words, these Wood Spirit Tribe monks in the Void Refining Stage couldn't help but feel a chill all over their bodies. They didn't expect that the wilderness hundreds of years later would be so dangerous, but for the resources and ancient vitality inside, they had to go.
Everyone calmed down and continued to comprehend the secret techniques taught to them by the withered old man.
…
"Ancestor Lu, we are all the human monks in that secret realm. I heard from the guards of the Wood Spirit Clan that there are four other secret realms like this."
"But the Wood Spirit Tribe is arresting us casual cultivators. It's not worth the risk for you, old man. You must not go deep into the Wood Spirit Tribe's territory."
In the central hall of the Jiuling Underground Palace, an old man with white hair and a childlike face spoke excitedly. His expression was both excited and excited, but also worried. The wood-attribute magic power in his body in the middle stage of becoming a god fluctuated with his emotions.
Standing next to this old man is a middle-aged man wearing gray brocade clothes. This man has a plain appearance and long and narrow eyebrows, like two daggers. He is Jian Chen, the powerful deity-forming master of the Human Sword Sect.
Jian Chen looked at the excited old man and patted his shoulder. The old man was even more excited than he was before.
If he hadn't known this monk named Hua Tianqi in the early years and personally came over to introduce the identity of Patriarch Lu, I'm afraid this monk in the middle stage of transformation into a god would have thought that he had fallen under the illusion of the Wood Spirit Tribe and couldn't believe that the human race was still hiding something.
An Ancestor of Void Refining.
Lu Kun sat at the head of the hall. He sighed softly and said: "The clansmen imprisoned by the Star Soul Clan will not be massacred in two to three hundred years. After the Wood Spirit Clan's unusual movement in the Dead Soul River, their attention
It should have been transferred to dead soul creatures, and humans will not be sacrificed in the short term."
"Next, Lu is going to visit the territories of the Blood Shadow Clan and the Sky Stone Clan."
When Hua Tianqi and Jian Chen heard this, their expressions were full of worry.
Lu Kun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to capture some alien races and study their bloodline."
At this time, Jian Chen's mind showed Lu Kun's ability to fight one against three and his magical ability to travel underground, and he suddenly felt that he was worrying too much.
Hua Tianqi seemed to have thought of something at this time. A blank jade slip appeared in his hand. His consciousness kept surging, pouring information into it. After a while, he handed the jade slip forward and said respectfully: "
Ancestor Lu, you have just emerged from the secret realm of the human race, so you may not know much about the foreign race area."
"Although Hua is a casual cultivator, he has traveled to the four surrounding tribes and knows these alien races very well. I hope this information will be helpful to you."
Lu Kun took the jade slip, scanned it with his consciousness, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Yes, this is indeed helpful."
"Jian Chen, fellow Hua Daoist, I'll help you make arrangements. Without further ado, I'll take the first step." After saying that, Lu Kun put away the jade slip, golden light flashed around his body, and disappeared into the hall.
Jian Chen bowed respectfully in front of him, then patted Hua Tianqi on the shoulder and said in an excited tone: "Fellow Daoist Hua, come here, take a good look around this Nine Spirits Underground Palace of our human race."
"Let me tell you, this place is more than 8,000 miles deep underground. It is countless times safer than the Three Realms and Nine Realms. Even in the late stage of Void Refining, I am afraid that I will not be able to dive so deep."
"More than eight thousand miles underground, how is this possible?"
"Hahaha, this all relies on the magical power of our human race's physical training. You don't know that body training is very magical..."
