Chapter 1286: Heavenly Illusive Secret Realm
The tunnel was full of radiance. It looked quite mysterious, faintly leading to the deep underground.
Liu Ming could only feel that his eyes were filled with various lights. He couldn’t see the figures of other elders in front clearly, and his Divine Thought was also limited within a range of 3 meters.
Just as he vigilantly walked 90 meters forward, he suddenly found himself in an underground hall.
The hall was quite wide, about 300 meters. There were carved beams and painted buildings. The decoration was quite luxurious. On the top was a jade bead with a size of several tens of meters, emitting a soft green light that illuminated the entire hall brightly.
Liu Ming glanced around and saw countless mysterious runes engraved in a criss-cross pattern on the ground in from. It vaguely outlined a rather mysterious hexagonal array.
Qing Cong was standing in front of the array with his hands behind his back. The other 3 elders of the Qing Family lined up behind him.
With a thought, Liu Ming appeared behind Qing Cong in a flash.
Qing Cong glanced at 4 of them and said,
“Everyone, I will be waiting for your good news here. After you return, I will pass on the position of family master to the person who has obtained the Illusion Power Seed according to the family rules, then I will stay in retreat to break through to the Mystic Comprehending State until I die. There are many dangers in Heavenly Illusive Secret Realm, so be careful!”
As soon as he said that, without waiting for their reply, he appeared in the air.
There was an object like a jade seal in his hand. As he chanted, a dozen green symbols flew into the jade seal.
The jade seal was immediately activated. It flew above the hexagonal array and spun slowly.
Waves of green lights gushed out from the jade seal and fell onto the array below according to a certain law.
The spirit patterns on the surface of the hexagonal array lit up one after another, then a fissure opened up in the air, forming a light door about 30 meters in size.
Qing Songzi and the woman in a green shirt glanced at each other and flew into the light door togehter.
Immediately afterward, a green light stream flashed into it. It was the bald muscular man Qing Gu.
Liu Ming glanced at the expressionless Qing Cong in mid-air, took a deep breath, and also flew into the light door.
As soon as he entered the light door, he felt his body tremble as if Mo Tian’s blood in his body was connected with the entire secret realm.
He didn’t find it strange. Qing Cong had already told him that this situation was just a blood screening for the people who entered the secret realm.
Immediately afterward, he only saw a flash, and a dizzy feeling came from his head.
When he opened his eyes, he hurriedly looked around and got a clear view of the surrounding situation.
At this moment, he was on the edge of a rolling hill. What he saw were dark skies and lush tall forests.
As for Qing Songzi, the woman in green clothes and the burly bald man, they were separated within a radius of 300 meters, but their eyes still looked dazed. Apparently, they had yet to recover from passing through the space fissures yet.
Suddenly, Liu Ming felt his body sink. It seemed like extremely heavy shackles were put on his body. The gravity of the ground was more than 10 times stronger than that of the outside. Although he could still fly, it felt much more difficult than outside.
Moreover, there seemed to be an invisible binding force in the space. The range of Divine Thought was greatly affected. It could only spread to a range of tens of miles around.
Liu Ming looked at the other 3 people who had just woken up. They were also startled by the gravity change.
“I have long heard that the secret realm will restrict the strength of foreign cultivator, but I didn’t expect the effect to be so huge.” The burly bald man, Qing Gu, said with a flash in his eyes.
In the mid-air behind the 4 of them, the green space fissure was still flickering.
“The space fissures can only last for 1 month. You must come back before that…” At this moment, the voice of Family Master Qing Cong suddenly came faintly from the space fissure.
There was a gleam in Liu Ming’s eyes.
This was the first time he knew about the time limit of the secret realm, but the others didn’t look surprised. Obviously, they had known about this from the beginning.
They quickly adjusted their status and gradually got used to the strange gravity in the secret realm.
“Elder Qing Gu, now that we have arrived at the secret realm, I don’t need to remind you about the danger here. In my opinion, you might as well join hands with me and Junior Qing, so that we can take care of each other on the way. What do you think? “Qing Songzi turned a blind eye to Liu Ming and said directly to the burly bald man.
“Thank you Elder Qing Songzi for your kindness, but I’ll pass. After all, only 1 person can be the family master.” The burly bald man glanced at Qing Songzi and said with a smile.
Qing Songzi’s complexion changed slightly. He snorted, cast a fierce glance at Liu Ming, and then flew away together with the woman in a green shirt.
In the blink of an eye, only Liu Ming and Qing Gu were left behind.
“Elder Liu, now that Qing Songzi has teamed up with Qing Shang, if you and I split up, it may be very disadvantageous. I wonder if Elder Liu intends to go with me?” Qing Gu touched his bald head and said to Liu Ming kindly.
“Thank you Elder Qing Gu for your kindness. It’s just that I’m used to acting alone, so please bear with me.” Liu Ming said with an apologetic look.
“Haha, since that’s the case, I won’t force you.” Qing Gu laughed as if he had expected it, then he flew in another direction and quickly disappeared into the dark sky.
After Qing Gu disappear into the distance, he released Divine Thought to check that there was no one around and said slowly, “Okay, now we are in the secret realm, you should also help me to show the way?”
“Hehe, of course, but you have sealed most of my spiritual power. Now I can only sense the distance of 2 miles around me at most. Even if I want to show you the way, I can’t do it.” Mo Tian sneered.
Liu Ming frowned with a look of hesitation as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Mo Tian didn’t urge him. Liu Ming stood there quietly for more than a quarter of an hour, and he sighed and waved his hand. Countless black runes emerged from his body.
The next moment, the black runes dissipated.
“Mr. Liu is really sensible. It should be like this between you and me.” A black air emerged from Liu Ming’s body and quickly condensed into Mo Tian’s figure.
“Okay, cut the nonsense. Where is the thing that can solve the short lifespan of Qing Family’s cultivators?” Liu Ming said indifferently.
“Let me take a look. I haven’t been here for tens of thousands of years, so I can’t remember the location in the secret realm.” Mo Tian stretched, then he flew into the air and looked around.
Liu Ming also flew up to take a full view of the surroundings. There was nothing particularly noteworthy.
His eyes flashed suddenly. At the end of his left field of vision, he could faintly see a red mountain, which seemed to be a volcanic area.
“That’s the Iron Fire Mountain Range! Hmm, then I should be able to determine where we are at the moment…” Mo Tian also looked at the volcanic area on the left and said so.
Liu Ming’s eyes moved without speaking.
“Let’s go along the Iron Fire Mountain Range first, then head south. You will encounter a cold land with a radius of 30,000 miles. Then…” Mo Tian roughly talked about the upcoming journey.
There was a thoughtful look on his face.
A moment later, he flew toward the Iron Fire Mountain Range.
…
About 3,000 miles away from where Liu Ming was, Qing Songzi and Qing Shang were in a huge basin with a radius of tens of miles.
The surrounding area looked bare with occasional dark stones.
Qing Songzi looked around a few times, and he launched several lights into the surroundings to open up a spiritual power enchantment with a radius of a dozen meters.
After finishing all this, Qing Songzi was relieved. He took out a gray brocade with many terrains painted on it.
“Every time entering the secret realm, the location we are teleported to is different, but with this secret realm map passed down from my father, we will be able to find the Illusion Power Seed before Qing Gu and Liu Ming. “Qing Songzi said confidently.
Qing Shang looked at the map in Qing Songzi’s hand with a hint of joy.
“By the way, you said before that you would take the opportunity to get rid of that Liu Ming in this secret realm. Are we really going to do it? That Liu Ming’s cultivation is progressing very fast. I think his strength seems to be much stronger than before.” Qing Shang suddenly remembered something and said with some worry.
“It is precisely because Liu Ming’s strength has increased so much that we have to get rid of him here. Otherwise, even if he becomes the family master, he will still be a problem.” Qing Songzi snorted and said.
When Qing Shang heard this, her eyes moved slightly.
“Don’t worry, I’ve prepared something that can restrain that Liu Ming. As long as we join hands, we can definitely kill him.” Seeing that Qing Shang was still hesitant, Qing Songzi comforted her confidently.
Hearing this, Qing Shang sighed and didn’t say anything more.
After Qing Songzi checked the terrain against the gray brocade, he quickly put it away. After whispering a few words to Qing Shang, they flew in the same direction.
…
Almost at the same time, a black mountain peak nearby.
With a loud impact, a black goat-like beastkin with a height of 24 meters fell to the ground heavily.
The huge body of the black goat made the surrounding ground tremble heavily.
It twitched a few times, then it was dead.
In mid-air, the burly bald man in a green robe emerged.
It was Qing Gu.
He waved his hand, and a black whip shadow flew out from the black goat and returned to his sleeve.
Qing Gu took out a gray mirror and launched a symbol. A layer of gray light appeared on the mirror surface, and a mini version of the terrain was reflected in it.
“Fortunately, I got this Thousand Miles Qian Kun Mirror, otherwise it would be really difficult to find the clue in this secret realm…” Qing Gu looked at the mirror with a gleam of joy in his eyes.
Immediately, he cut off the 2 horns of the black goat, put them away, and flew into the distance.
The direction he flew was similar to the direction Liu Ming was heading.
