Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 120 The Tomb

The sky is spinning and the earth is spinning, and there is endless darkness.

Bai Zichen only felt nothingness above, below, left, and right, could not feel the changes in time and space, and could not use any magic power.

 When the spiritual consciousness leaves the body, the induction is instantly lost.

That kind of darkness is not the black of the night sky, but the boundless black that can never be explored to the bottom. It is chilling and the deepest fear arises from the bottom of the heart.

 Without loneliness, one can only visualize the oven of heaven and earth in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Unexpectedly, in this special environment, the sea of ​​consciousness would be exceptionally clear, the world in all directions would become more real, and the baking in the oven would make all the scenes more condensed.

Hung on the westernmost corner of the sky is a five-crystal divine iron. Although it is only as big as a grain of rice, it cannot be ignored.

As long as you look at the entire sky and earth, you can't miss it, like the dazzling stars in the dark.

“I wonder if I can visualize the glazed fire jade at the same time…”

 Bai Zichen thought of this and did it immediately.

I have had such an idea before, but when I was practicing the magic of casting gods while visualizing glazed fire jade, it collapsed quickly after I tried it briefly, and my consciousness was paralyzed for several days.

 It can only be attributed to the fact that the spiritual consciousness is not strong enough to reach this level.

At this moment, entering the ancient secret realm and falling into this strange space, I subconsciously thought of it.

At the east corner, a red light flashed, and a glaze fire jade the size of a fingernail appeared, immediately setting off a terrifying storm.

The whole oven of heaven and earth seemed to be hit by a catastrophic disaster. Mountains and rivers collapsed, rivers poured in, several big holes were broken in the sky, and even the oven turned upside down.

 But for the first time, the visualization map constructed in the sea of ​​consciousness did not collapse immediately and was maintained precariously.

Bai Zichen seized this rare opportunity and used all possible means to maintain the simultaneous existence of the three major visualization objects.

He had a feeling that if he could sustain one more breath, he would benefit greatly.

 In the strange environment of unknown time and space, the intensity of Bai Zichen's consciousness was rapidly increasing.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly something brightened up in front of my eyes. Before Bai Zichen had time to rejoice, he fainted.

 …

　　When Bai Zichen woke up, he felt sore all over his body and his head was a mess. It took him a while to realize what had happened.

 “This is the secret realm…”

It was almost the same as the shadow that Lu Song showed through the ink jade ring. It was ten feet in diameter, with dozens of broken weapons stuck crookedly on the ground, and a lonely tomb in the center.

Beside him, Lu Song was half floating in the air, shrouded in a circle of black light, still in a coma.

"The world of immortal cultivation has limited understanding of secret realms. No one has been able to accomplish this feat of opening up a small world with its own spiritual energy for many years... Among the secret realms, there are those that can be entered and exited at will without any threshold, and there are also those like the Liansheng Secret Realm. To enter through the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, you need to be at the level of a real person to form a pill to start with.”

Bai Zichen looked at Lu Song with slight envy. The black flames were seeping into his body, which obviously had extra benefits.

 The black jade ring was refined with Lu Song’s essence and blood, so it can be regarded as the inheritor of the secret realm, and it is normal to receive extra treatment.

"The scale of this secret realm is the smallest among all the secret realms I have heard of... There are two possibilities. One is that the founders have limited strength and can only maintain such a small world. The other possibility is that this place has been established for too long and has been lost. The owner was later eroded by time, and the space became smaller and smaller.”

From Lu Song’s description, the secret scene he saw in his childhood dream was more than a hundred feet long and wide, and there were thousands of weapons on the ground.

 Inferring from this, it should be the second possibility.

The opening of the ancient secret realm here may be much earlier than they imagined.

Bai Zichen took a step forward and moved his fingertips. There was no wind or water in the air. Although there was light above his head, there were no sun, moon or stars.

The end of the space is dark and unclear, with faint signs of inward expansion.

 The spiritual energy in the secret realm is at most equivalent to that of a first-order high-grade spiritual land, which shows how much it has degraded over time.

Bai Zichen walked up to a broken sword and stretched out his hand to pull it out. As soon as he touched the broken sword, it turned into a pile of debris and slipped away from his fingertips like quicksand.

“It’s been too long, coupled with the lack of spiritual energy in this place, this situation has been formed by tens of thousands of years of erosion...”

These weapons are all of a simple style, without patterns or decorations, which is completely different from what is popular today.

However, whether it was a halberd, axe, a flying sword, or a hook weapon that is rare in the world of immortality today, they were all turned into powder after being touched, and not a single molded weapon was left.

Bai Zichen quickly walked around the entire secret realm and returned to the starting point when he entered.

 At the moment, there is only one barren tomb left in the secret realm that has not been entered. If you want to gain something, this is the only chance.

“It won’t be a wasted trip, it’s just an abandoned secret realm…”

Bai Zichen glanced at Lu Song, who was still in a coma, and couldn't help but sigh that he was a lucky person.

At Lu Song's age, he had only reached the sixth level of Qi refining at the age of 15, so he could already declare that the great road was over.

But the black flame obviously has the function of repairing the body and replenishing the essence. In a short time, it can be seen that the jade color appears under the surface of Lu Song's skin. This is a sign that the essence cannot be refined at once and is floating outside the body.

After this experience, there may be an opportunity to reach new heights and build a foundation.

 Although the most common ones are the ruined secret realms that yield nothing.

But the secret realm that I had been looking forward to for many years finally only achieved Lu Song. I gained nothing, and my state of mind was inevitably a little bit different.

“Everyone has his or her own destiny. At least if you accidentally enter the realm of contemplating three objects at the same time when entering the secret realm, it can be considered a good harvest..."

 Bai Zichen has already sensed that the range of his consciousness should exceed 80 feet.

 Because this secret realm is too small, the spiritual consciousness cannot be used, so we can only calculate it based on our feelings, but it won't be too far apart.

Ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks have only a hundred feet of spiritual consciousness.

Bai Zichen has been building the foundation for more than a year, and he has developed a spiritual consciousness that is close to that of a monk in the late stage of foundation building. Even in the Naihe Sect, which has practiced the art of casting gods, this is a shocking progress.

Back then, the disciples of the Naihe Sect were able to basically make the disciples in the sect have a spiritual consciousness that was better than that of monks of the same level because of the secret method of casting gods.

But this kind of situation where the intensity of divine consciousness transcends two levels in a row has not been mentioned at least in the inheritance of divine casting.

 The barren tomb in the center of the secret realm is less than a foot high and made of an unknown gray material.

There is no trace of splicing, they are integrated into one body, with an extremely simple and even wild atmosphere.

Obviously due to the passage of time, the deserted tomb no longer has any magical properties, but I still feel the shock that goes straight to my soul in front of it.

Bai Zichen took a deep breath, bent down and leaned in through the low opening.

Sure enough, the style is consistent. There is no decoration inside the barren tomb. There are only a few large and disorderly characters on the bare gray walls.

I can’t understand the meaning of the big characters at all. I can only guess from the glyphs that they are older than the flower and bird urn.

The flower and bird talisman was popular around 30,000 years ago. Each word contains great power. It can be regarded as a natural talisman and the source of talismans.

 But because it was too difficult to learn and difficult to spread, it was gradually replaced by ordinary writing and was only spread among top-level monks.

 Nowadays, it is extremely rare for sects to have perfect inheritance of flower and bird urns.

The inheritance stone tablet in Wuyue Temple has the green words written on it using flower and bird urns.

However, the glyph shape of the flower and bird 瓓 is somewhat similar to the characters used today. Although the meaning is not clear, you can still get a little clue by guessing.

Unlike the seven big characters on the gray wall, it only has a strong emotional impact, and it is difficult to say that it is a glyph.

It’s more like a bunch of ghost talismans!

Bai Zichen didn't dare to make any move, so he took out a jade slip and entered the seven glyphs to see if there was any chance to decipher the meaning of the characters in the future.

Inside the barren tomb, there is only a stone platform, which looks like it was carved carelessly with a sword, not neatly.

 There are three items placed on the stone platform.

 A ball of lightning and thunder, gathered into the size of a fist, calmness accumulated there, restrained to the limit.

  If it is not seen with the naked eye, it is impossible to detect any fluctuations with spiritual consciousness alone, just like a dead object.

"None of the weapons outside have survived the passage of time. To be able to still take on the form of thunder and lightning after tens of thousands of years, the level must be much higher... The spiritual energy in the secret realm can no longer satisfy these treasures. Every trace of spiritual power leaked is damaging the treasures. One’s own origin.”

Anyway, Master Jiedan's magic weapon will fade into mortal matter in thousands of years if no one cares for it.

 It is unimaginable that a treasure of such a rank could survive tens of thousands of years, or even longer.

 The second piece is a piece of jade, which has cracks like spider webs. The jade is gray and white, with impurities infiltrated into it.

Bai Zichen stretched out his hand halfway and then retracted it.

 The last item is a long box, made of neither gold nor jade nor wood. It will be bounced open when the consciousness touches it.

"No matter what, you have to get it to know what its use is...you can't tell the difference by just looking at it."

Bai Zichen first took the jade in the middle in his hand, and some jade fragments fell down. He panicked and held the jade in his hand.

Just when he was about to study the mysteries of Yujue, the white light burst out, and a huge amount of content immediately appeared in his mind.

“The Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique…tempering the immortal bones is a body-building technique!”

Bai Zichen closed his eyes and browsed for a while, clarifying the content of this exercise that came into his mind.

It actually tempers the bones of the body, causing them to undergo qualitative changes and become the legendary fairy bones.

 Regardless of the level, the seven volumes before and after can be used to temper seven bones in total and turn them into different fairy bones.

The contents were vast, and Bai Zichen was worried that there would be other variables in the secret realm, so he only glanced at the contents of one volume.

The bronze bone of the sun is used to refine the skull in front of the forehead into immortal bone. The physical body is strong and tyrannical, and it is not afraid of the fire from the sky...

 Minimum cultivation requirements, spiritual consciousness sustenance, and golden elixir generation.

"It's good, but for me, the level is too high... Body training can only be practiced by a real person who can build the bottom pill. What's the use of it now?"

The jade in Bai Zichen's hand had all turned into pieces, and he exhausted his last spiritual energy to complete the inheritance of the technique.

Hands loosened, jade fragments slid down like quicksand.

“Besides, I already have a five-crystal glazed body that is extremely suitable for me. Even after forming the elixir, I probably won’t have the energy to practice two body-refining techniques at the same time…”

 After harvesting a top-level body-training technique that was of little use, Bai Zichen turned his attention to the remaining two items.
