Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

These five magical artifacts were all cone-shaped and named 'Formation Breakers' because this area had been sealed by the five major sects working together with a special formation.

Only these five Formation Breakers could break the seal and release the secrets within.

The five elders simultaneously activated their magical power, and the five Formation Breakers instantly merged in the air, erupting with earth-shattering power, as if even the entire sky was trembling.

The giant warhammer aimed at a crucial node of the seal and slammed down fiercely.

Each strike was accompanied by earth-shattering tremors, causing everyone's hearts to tremble with fear.

With the continuous descent of the three hammers, all the disciples held their breath, not daring to make the slightest movement.

Their faces were solemn, deeply awed by this powerful might, their hearts filled with reverence.

However, those disciples with low strength or weak willpower found it even more difficult to withstand this power.

Some even spat out blood, their spirits instantly withering, as if all their life force had been drained away.

The five elders did not pay much attention to the condition of these disciples.

In their eyes, these cannon fodder disciples were like ants, and even if many of them died, it would not cause them the slightest regret.

As long as the elite disciples were safe and sound, the sect would have hope, and the future would be promising.

As expected, the valley ahead crackled under the force of the powerful energy, finally splitting open a huge gap tens of feet wide.

A gloomy, terrifying, and evil aura surged out like a tide, making people shudder.

This mysterious place, known as the Ghost Valley Secret Realm, got its name because it concealed countless remnant souls, evil ghosts, and even specters.

These terrifying existences filled countless people with fear, but just as yin and yang complement each other, and positive and negative coexist, the other side of the secret realm was a different scene altogether.

There, exotic flowers and rare herbs grew in abundance, harboring countless precious spiritual medicines, opening once every ten years, with the five sects sending disciples to explore!

After the crack opened.

Elder Ai He said, "Hurry in and seize the opportunity!"

With a wave of his hand, the Puppet Sect's disciples, led by the elite disciple Hua Rui Chu, leaped up, their flying swords piercing the air at great speed, instantly plunging into the crack.

The other sects were the same, entering the secret realm one after another.

However, upon entering, it was as if they had fallen into a giant wave, and everyone was instantly scattered to different locations.

This was the rule of the secret realm, not allowing disciples to gather together with a unified aura, but they could survive inside, slowly contact each other, or find secret information to gather again.

The disciples fought on their own, beginning to explore this Ghost Valley Secret Realm full of unknowns and dangers, searching for those rare spiritual medicines.

Most of the rogue cultivators flashed across the sky like shooting stars, passing by in a hurry, perhaps to be forever buried in the secret realm.

Only the elite disciples, with detailed maps and rich experience in hand, could avoid many detours and evade endless risks.

Li Chengfeng, having spent countless spirit stones, had finally gained insight into everything about the secret realm. At this moment, he set foot here, his divine sense rippling like ripples, taking in the scenery within a hundred miles.

This secret realm before him was vast and boundless, and if he relied solely on brute force, he would probably find it difficult to reach the end.

The Nine Desires Valley, with its Nine Desires Celestial Bloom, was a must for him. It was undoubtedly a trick of fate that he had inadvertently landed here, tens of thousands of miles away from his destination.

Even at his speed, it would take him ten days. In the meantime, there were countless dangers, but he was prepared and had no fear in his heart.

Fortunately, there were few demons and beasts here. He had not encountered any attacks along the way.

However, faint wails of ghosts could be heard from underground. If it were a righteous cultivator, he would probably have been eroded by this ghostly aura and his mind would have been confused.

However, Li Chengfeng regarded this ghostly aura as a rare tonic. He circulated the 'Flourishing Decay Sky-Reaching Skill', absorbing the ghostly aura into his body to improve his cultivation.

He walked leisurely. The map showed that there was a spiritual herb for refining Foundation Establishment Pills ahead, called 'Moon Child Grass', which was exactly what he was looking for.

He had promised Chu Zheng in the Blood Demon Sect to refine Foundation Establishment Pills for her.

Now that he had obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, he only needed to find all the necessary spiritual herbs to refine them.

Although this was not a place for refining pills, he would find a quiet place to refine Foundation Establishment Pills for himself after he left.

Naturally, the more Foundation Establishment Pills, the better.

Li Chengfeng did not pay much attention to Chu Zheng, whom he had tricked.

He knew that he had stood her up, and she must be furious, but there was nothing she could do. The Demonic Path was originally about mutual exploitation, seeing whose methods were more clever.

At this moment, his heart was only focused on that 'Moon Child Grass' spiritual herb.

However, the place where this spiritual herb was located was guarded by a group of giant apes with immense strength, and their strength should not be underestimated.

These giant apes were by no means a match for ordinary disciples. They might have already advanced to the second-order demon beast stage, with strength equivalent to that of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Although they were not intelligent, their brute force alone was enough to make people shudder, let alone a group of such demon beasts.

For a Qi Refining expert like Li Chengfeng, first-order demon beasts might not be a problem, but second-order demon beasts were enough to distract most of his mind.

He flew non-stop, while also using the 'Dust of History' technique, completely concealing his aura, as if he had become an invisible fighter jet, so that the other party's divine sense would sweep over him without noticing.

But Li Chengfeng could keenly capture the other party's aura. As he flew, he suddenly felt a strong surge of spiritual power coming from ahead.

Li Chengfeng's divine sense was like a sensitive radar, quickly scanning the surrounding area.

He discovered that a fierce battle was taking place. A group of giant apes and a giant fire python were engaged in a life-and-death struggle.

This fire python was no small matter, having already reached the realm of a second-order demon beast.

Its whole body exuded a scorching aura, spewing out flames, like a fire dragon emerging from the sea. Wherever it went, the grass and trees were burned to scorched earth.

Those low-level giant apes that were touched by the flames were instantly turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Among these giant apes, there was one that was particularly eye-catching.

It was more than ten feet tall, its muscles were knotted, full of power, and it had obviously reached the strength of a second-order demon beast.

However, when facing the fire python that was more than twenty feet long, this giant ape seemed powerless and could not gain the slightest advantage.

The fire python's scales were as hard as iron, its skin was thick, and every attack could make the giant apes feel bursts of severe pain.

Moreover, the fire python's flames were even more powerful, making it impossible for the giant apes to get close.

Li Chengfeng noticed that the fire python's target seemed to be that Foundation Establishment stage spiritual herb.

This spiritual herb grew on a boulder, emitting a faint light, obviously extraordinary. 5 giant apes were guarding it there, motionless.

The lines on the fire python's body also seemed unusually active, as if it was about to break through the bottleneck and advance to a higher realm.

He needed to carefully observe the fighting skills of the fire python and the giant apes, as well as their struggle for the spiritual herb, so as to provide more inspiration and reference for his own cultivation path.

He keenly felt that the rules here seemed to be quietly changing, and the next time the cultivators who entered would probably no longer be in the Qi Refining stage, but in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Because the demon beasts here had already broken through to the second order, and cultivators in the Qi Refining stage would only find death if they came in.
