Do not die

Meng Zhou withdrew his continuous attention and refocused on his own cultivation and understanding.

However, although he did not continue to pay attention, everything that happened at the "birth elf" that had completed the breakthrough from the third level to the fourth level was still shared with him without reservation.

However, in order to avoid the interference of this endless stream of information, Meng Zhou took the initiative to cut off the acquisition of this information and instead introduced it into the "interpretation world".

At this moment, the pink and cute "birth elf" that made people want to bite it when they saw it was sitting on the shoulder of a woman with long green hair.

This female cultivator who was transformed from a true spirit always had a cold face towards other Nascent Soul cultivators, and even other humans transformed from true spirits were indifferent.

But she loved the child transformed by the "birth elf" very much and took the initiative to get close to him.

Looking at her appearance, she even had some fawning meaning.

Fortunately, she did not have a tail, otherwise, Meng Zhou really suspected that she would shake her tail on the spot.

After the "natal elf" took the initiative to climb onto her shoulder and get close to her, she was so happy that she almost forgot everything else and spontaneously took on the role of "guardian knight".

All the covetous eyes directed at the "natal true spirit" would immediately be targeted by her most hostile.

And everything that happened around her was also recorded in the "interpretation world" through the eyes of the "natal elf".

...

[Elf: Level 4 1000/100,000]

The natal elf is certainly not as weak as it appears. Apart from anything else, it can be known that it is definitely not a good person to survive the 72 heavenly tribulations.

However, as for its specific abilities, Meng Zhou only had a rough estimate because it was not by his side and without a careful inventory.

This is probably the biggest difference between the strange existence of the "natal elf" and the natal living poison and the golden armor spirit insect.

In terms of the closeness of the connection, this natal spirit is actually deeper than the golden armor spirit insect before being "assimilated", and is not inferior to the natal living poison and golden armor spirit insect after completing "assimilation".

But when the latter two are completed "assimilation", they are more and more like the extension of his power, and it is difficult to call them independent life forms.

The special thing about the existence of "natal spirit" is that on the one hand, it has a close connection with Meng Zhou that is no less than that of the natal living poison and golden armor spirit insect after being "assimilated", but on the other hand, it maintains a precious complete form.

It can even be said that for its breakthrough from the third level to the fourth level, the improvement of its own strength is secondary, and what is more valuable is the evolutionary leap in this life form.

A sound mind, a complete spirituality, completely unaffected by Meng Zhou's personality, as clear and pure as a child.

Of course, if you put it another way, "clear and pure" is actually a kind of "stupidity", and it is still the kind of stupidity that brings great danger.

If Meng Zhou wasn't there, if she was really a "wild" spirit, no matter how strong she was, she would be in great danger.

Of course, this was exactly why Meng Zhou chose to let her break through so blatantly in front of a group of True Spirits and Nascent Souls.

To be a wedge, to blend into this group, to become "one of their own"?

It can't be said that there was no such consideration at all, but it was a very minor reason.

If it was just for this reason, he didn't need to do it at all.

...

Meng Zhou has now basically determined that Lian Ziling is no longer Lian Ziling, at least, not the Lian Ziling he knew before.

As for the reason for this change, Meng Zhou's eyes naturally fell on the statue of Lihen.

In this case, Meng Zhou discovered that "Lian Ziling" disguised his identity and mixed into a group of newly promoted fourth-level True Spirits and Nascent Souls, and then witnessed his plan to let these forces enter the Xingxiu Sea.

Although "Lian Ziling" didn't know that after him, Xingxiu Palace had added another "little junior brother" "Kou Chong", this did not prevent the absolute difference in strength caused by the absolute difference in numbers between the two sides.

Moreover, because of the practices of the Xingxiu Palace, especially the cold killing of all "crossers" by several Yuanying, no matter whether they are Yuanying cultivators or fourth-level true spirits, they have no good feelings towards the Xingxiu Palace.

Such a group of beings entering the Xingxiu Sea will definitely bring violent shocks to the Xingxiu Palace.

Of course, Meng Zhou doesn't care about these.

What he really cares about is that there is a "Lian Ziling" with ulterior motives hidden in it, who is very likely to be directly related to the Lihen Statue.

Meng Zhou naturally thought of--

[What impact will this have on me? ]

[Will it hinder my meditation? ]

Then go a step further--

[Will this bring me danger? ]

This is not Meng Zhou's paranoia, this is respect for Lian Ziling's strength.

Not to mention that Lian Ziling's body may have been replaced by a "new player", even if Lian Ziling is still the same Lian Ziling, Meng Zhou does not despise him at all.

Although Meng Zhou is confident in his current strength, it is better to be more cautious and restrained for such an unknown existence.

He clearly knew about it in advance, but he just waited for them to come to him without making any preparations. Isn't that stupid? !

And the "wild elves" who successfully survived the tribulation in full view of the public and exuded an alluring aura were specially prepared by Meng Zhou after some thought.

"Was it useful?"

"I hope so."

Meng Zhou asked himself and answered himself in his heart, and he was quite confident about the result.

...

Except for the initial guidance, in the process of finding the "key" to enter the Xingxiu Sea, "Lian Ziling" did not make any more tricks.

After all, the four-level true spirits and Yuanying Zhenjun who were fooled by him to participate in the action were either strong, smart, or both. None of them was easy to deal with, so the fewer tricks, the better.

This was also the most profound lesson he learned from the internal conflict with the three Yuanyings of Xingxiu Palace. "He" was in the know and "I" was in the dark, which was a huge advantage, but he could not treat "them" as fools because of this.

If so, he might be killed by the "fool" one day.

Although "Lian Ziling" did not make any more guidance, with the secret cooperation of the Lihen Sect's high-level officials, it took some time and brains.

In terms of the result, it was undoubtedly very successful.

"Found it!"

In the original furnace wasteland, a Yuanying cultivator took out a piece of stone that looked like an ordinary slab from a hidden cave, and said excitedly.

And soon after he exclaimed, a group of fourth-level true spirits and Yuanying cultivators gathered around him.

The seemingly ordinary stone slab was passed from one hand to another.

When they handed the stone slab to another person beside them, some people frowned, as if they were thinking hard; some people seemed to have some enlightenment, as if they had some enlightenment...

After the stone slab was passed through everyone's hands, the Yuanying cultivator who found the stone slab asked everyone: "How is it?"

Some people nodded, but they were also a little confused: "This is indeed a way to lead us to a new place, but it is not certain whether it is the Xingxiu Sea."

"This is not simple, don't you know if you try it?" Someone suggested.

But soon someone objected.

"Didn't you notice?

Before you have the exact information of the other side and mark the stable control point, using this method not only has risks in the process itself, but also will cause intense void ripples on the other side.

It can't be hidden at all!"

Everyone was silent.

They all understood what this person meant.

There are four Yuanying in Xingxiu Palace, which everyone knows.

-The outside world does not know that there was an internal conflict among the Yuanying in Xingxiu Palace, nor does it know that a new Yuanying was born. However, although the process is wrong, if we only look at the results, it just happens to coincide, which can be regarded as a coincidence.

If we arrange one or two people to verify the authenticity of this method and whether it leads to Xingxiu Sea, it will be very dangerous and will arouse the vigilance of the four Yuanying in Xingxiu Palace.

Therefore, when it is uncertain what this secret method is, the first person to try it has the meaning of "testing the law with his own body and throwing a stone to ask for directions".

It is precisely because of this understanding that no one is willing to be such a "stone" thrown out to ask for directions.

Just as the Yuanying cultivators were hesitating, a True Spirit who had transformed into a young man said impatiently:

"What are you waiting for? Why don't we go over and take a look together!"

"Go over together?" The Yuanying cultivators were stunned when they heard this, but soon, they unexpectedly discovered that this seemingly casual sentence was the most appropriate.

If fewer people go, the risk will be greater, and it will also make the other side alert;

If in order to reduce the risk, more people are arranged to "test the method" and throw more "stones" to ask for directions, the risk will be reduced, but for those who stay, it is inevitable to feel "abandoned", and the fewer people who stay, the stronger this emotion will be.

In this case, it is the safest way for everyone to go together.

Even if there is danger, they are confident that with the strength of their group, they are enough to withstand it.

They do what they say, and before long, everyone has mastered the method recorded on this stone tablet.

——For them, this secret method is not difficult to learn and master. As long as you get the right "key", you can open the right "door".

Before everyone was about to try the method, another Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly reminded:

"Everyone, your initial positions may not be in the same place, but the distance between each other should not be too far.

So, my suggestion is that no matter what happens, we should gather first to avoid being defeated one by one!"

"Okay."

"Not bad."

"Okay."

"..."

After being reminded, everyone nodded, and some people praised him for his thoughtful consideration.

After dealing with these, everyone did not delay any further and began to exert the power they had realized on the seemingly ordinary stone slab.

Soon, as the ripples of the void gently rippled and quietly spread, one after another disappeared into the void.

From the first person to the last person, the whole process happened very quickly, with a difference of no more than one minute.

Shortly after this void ripple disappeared, waves of void ripples spread rapidly over a vast sea area of ​​Xingxiu Sea, and soon, one figure after another appeared over this sea area.

Although they were quite scattered, they were basically within each other's sight range, and soon everyone gathered together.

When this group of 14 Yuanying-level masters suddenly descended on this sea area, it was like a huge rock hitting a calm lake, and violent void ripples shook and spread rapidly.

For this, the cultivators were mentally prepared.

Such violent void ripples must have alarmed the four Yuanyings of Xingxiu Palace.

Yes, there is an implicit premise here, that is, they have all entered the Xingxiu Sea, which they have only heard of but never really seen.

The surrounding void is filled with rich fourth-level spiritual energy, which is the best proof.

"The information on the stone slab is not false."

This has triggered more speculations.

And at this moment, a cry attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the sound, but saw that the "wild elf" who had been sitting obediently on the shoulders of the green-haired woman, with a cute child-like appearance, and had successfully survived the seventy-two heavenly tribulations, suddenly seemed to be possessed by evil, and seemed to be cast by someone's immobilization spell, and was frozen there like a sculpture, motionless.

This abnormal change made people's hearts tense, and the already nervous people were awed.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"..."

Everyone asked with concern, and some people even began to prepare to conduct a careful inspection of the "wild elf".

However, those who were ready to take action, whether with good or bad intentions, all failed and were avoided by the green-haired woman.

She avoided everyone from a distance, her eyes cold, "Can't you see? She was maliciously possessed!"

The others were all stunned when they heard this.

Of course, because the word "possession" is too intimidating, the moment it came out of the woman's mouth, it really had a sense of preemptive.

But soon, everyone came to their senses.

"How is it possible?"

"Are you mistaken?"

"..."

Everyone questioned.

This is not a random joke without any evidence. The premise of possession is that there is a huge gap in strength between the possessor and the possessed.

And everyone present had just broken through the realm not long ago. Even if there were differences in strength, it was definitely not possible for one person to possess another person silently.

Not to mention, the possessed person had survived seventy-two heavenly tribulations, and his absolute strength was the strongest among everyone present!

But——

The people who were thinking about it suddenly felt cold in their hearts and thought of a possibility.

There is a being with far more power than them, hiding among them!

Although this caused new doubts in everyone's hearts, just thinking of this possibility, everyone looked at each other and silently distanced themselves from the people around them.

They suddenly found that they were not familiar with each other at all.

As everyone moved, an abnormality became more and more prominent.

There was a person standing there quietly, motionless.

Everyone's eyes, including the eyes of the emerald-haired woman, were all focused on this person.

Then, under the astonished eyes of everyone, the facial features of the standing figure gradually distorted and changed into a completely new appearance. (End of this chapter)
