Turned a corner while ascending

Osawa.

This is a desert in the depths of Daze. There is no one inhabited within ten thousand miles. Pieces of broken walls are half buried in the sand and half stand on the ground. The style is rough and wild, and it can roughly be seen that it looks like a palace.

If you look carefully, you can still see all kinds of grotesque birds and beasts on the broken pillars and roof beams, but most of them have been worn away by the years, and now you can only see a vague part.

This is the ruins of a certain temple of the ancient beast race that once ruled this realm in the second great reincarnation of the Qioming Realm. The contents inside have been emptied long ago, leaving only an empty shell to withstand the years of wind and sand here.

No one knew that at the bottom of this dilapidated temple, in the heart of the earth at an unknown depth, there was an almost identical temple.

The temple stands in the quiet darkness, but bright lights are lit everywhere inside.

At this time, in an empty and huge room in the side hall.

A circular altar rose from the ground. Surrounding the altar was a group of ugly insects with dark green skin, no hands, no feet, and eyes closed. Counting them, there were as many as eighteen of these insects.

This place is extremely quiet, and there is an oil lamp in front of each insect. The light of the oil lamp is a bit bigger, but it is extremely bright, illuminating the space here completely.

In a corner of the room, a human-like creature with a rhinoceros-like nose was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, dozing off bit by bit.

But at this time, in the extreme silence, in front of a huge bug, the bright oil lamp suddenly went dark!This seemed to indicate something ominous, and a trace of pain flashed on the ugly face of the corresponding bug.

Then without any warning, the dimmed oil lamp suddenly went out!

There was a soft "pop".

The creature keeping the lamp was startled awake, went to the altar to look, and saw the extinguished oil lamp, and then looked at the big bug corresponding to the oil lamp, the color of the whole body was much lighter, showing an ominous gray-green .

Seeing that something was wrong, the creature hurriedly ran out.

After a while, a group of people followed this creature and entered here. The three people in the front were completely human-like, wearing robes, gorgeous crowns, staffs in their hands, and old faces.

Behind the three was a man who looked like a human, but his skin was dark green, which looked very weird. In the end, there were two rows of humanoids with strange rhinoceros-like noses, which were like the lamp-keepers.

After this group of people entered the room, the three leading men with old faces did not speak, and the rest of them did not dare to vent their anger.

The green-skinned man stretched his neck and looked at the group of people on the altar, his face was full of anxiety and bewilderment.

After an unknown amount of time, the atmosphere in the room was silent and oppressive.

Suddenly, the lamps on the altar went out at a very rapid speed.

Looking at the green-skinned man, he couldn't stand up for a long time, and he was sweating profusely.

Finally, in an unspeakable silence, the last bright oil lamp was also extinguished.

With a "Plop", the green-skinned man took two steps forward and knelt down in front of the three of them.

"Master High Priest!" He howled out of tune, his whole body trembling because of fear.

"This little thing can't be done well." One of them said, with little joy or anger in his voice, "Chong Shen, go and find out who owns the holy egg. If you can't bring back the holy egg, your family will die." There is no need to exist anymore."

"High Priest, please be careful." Someone behind him reminded softly, "Now is not the time for us to fight each other."

"Shut up! It's because of your repeated promises that I can safely send these idiots to do things. Now, the holy egg is lost, and you dare to remind me of caution?" His scepter hit the ground heavily.

The man behind him didn't dare to speak.

"High Priest, Chongshen....Chongshen is about to set off, and we must find the holy egg!"

"Go, if you Mudie tribe can retrieve the holy egg, you will be rewarded, if you can't..." The unfinished meaning in his words caused Chong Shen to fight coldly!

"The High Priest..."

"Needless to say, I will report this matter to the Holy Maiden immediately, or do you want to wait for the Holy Maiden to decide in person?"

"......"

Three months later, the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm.

"Brother Wang, you have gained a lot this time." In the huge cave, a person greeted a new practitioner who came in.

The man called Brother Wang was carrying a large package on his back, and was holding a pot in his hand. Something was moving inside, making the pot rattle.

"Brother Liu, you're not bad." After he came in, he naturally walked over to Brother Liu and put down the jar.

The monk surnamed Liu also had a big package on his body, and there were three large gourds hanging on his waist. He didn't even look at the jar at this time, and continued to chat with the monk surnamed Wang.

"Before I came here, I also said how dangerous this Northern Wilderness Secret Realm is. Who knows that in the past three months, I haven't encountered many living people, but..."

"Hush!" Cultivator surnamed Wang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he pulled Cultivator surnamed Liu, "Keep your voice down, there might be people from the Eight Great God Mountains here."

"What are you afraid of? I heard that they fought fiercely among themselves. Few of them died because of some spirit tree."

"Be more cautious, even if there is only one person left, we are not enough for him."

"Right."

So the two found a passageway where no one was around, and whispered again.

"Is it true what you said about the infighting among the sects of the Eight Great Divine Mountains?"

"Why, didn't you see the corpses in the secret realm? Those who died were all disciples of Shenshan, so it's not true."

"Just for a spirit tree?"

"Don't underestimate this spiritual wood, it is said to be tens of thousands of years old."

"Hey, I really want to see what kind of treasure this is, so many people are fighting for it."

"Don't think about it. The cultivation base of the platform building stage should honestly pick up some spiritual herbs and medicines that they don't want. Haha, it's really cheap."

"That's right, the city lord must be delighted to bring so many treasures back, and maybe he can give you a book or two."

"This time, this secret realm is really easy."

"Don't say that, with so many Shenshan disciples dead, maybe there will be some disturbances."

……

The two were talking, but they heard some commotion in the middle of the cave. Looking there, it turned out that the time had come, and the entrance to go out was finally opened.

"Let's go, Brother Liu."

"Brother Wang please first."

"Haha, don't be too polite, this channel will only exist for one or two hours, go quickly." The two moved with the flow of people, and finally touched the transmission channel after a quarter of an hour, and both of them were teleported out.

At this time, there were not many people in this cave, and Baihecheng Tanxiaoshu, with a few unscathed companions who also came from Baihecheng, was still anxiously waiting for something.

at last.

In a certain dark passage, there was a burst of undisguised footsteps.

Tan Xiaoshu stretched his neck, and even in the dark environment, he could clearly see a line of people approaching in the passage.

The first is the two people side by side, one tall and one short, one white and one black, the man in white looks very good, the man in black looks like a boy under 13 years old, and he is also small and delicate, which makes people fall in love with him at first sight.

Behind these two people, followed a young man in fine clothes, his appearance was dignified but a little pale, with a small gourd and a small sword hanging from one ear on the left and the other on the right.

Then there are three cultivators, the one in front has short hair, a slightly fat body, gorgeous clothes, a simple white jade belt around his waist, and two pairs of lifelike wings in the center, guarding a thumb-sized orb.The latter two are not very good-looking, but they also have the logo of two pairs of wings.

These people left the passage one after another, and finally——

Talking and laughing book shines.

A little beauty with a cold temperament came into view first, dressed in a pink dress, with a delicate hairstyle, but her eyebrows were furrowed, and she looked a little sad.

And then--

The few people who stared at it opened their eyes wide.

A huge log was exposed first, and the diameter was enough for one person to encircle.

And a cultivator easily carried this huge piece of wood with one hand. After they came out, the two realized that its height was as tall as a person.

What kind of wood is this, worthy of carrying such a step without falling?

They looked at each other, and there were a few large characters clearly written in each other's eyes: 燳烧智木!

This group of people is Jin Que and others who have cultivated in the secret realm for three months.As for Yuan Hongyi, because of Rong Chang's relationship, he left alone a long time ago.

"Two seniors! The young suzerain!" Tan Xiaoshu's voice came with surprise.

However, Jin joined Tan Xiaoshu and the others, Rong Chang and the others finally stopped following, and led the nephews to the transmission channel, and they all disappeared here very quickly.

Because there are living creatures in the spirit wood, this thing can't be put into the Qiankun Ring at all, although Bai Zhizhuo secretly doubts whether they have such a large-capacity storage magic weapon in their hands.

So Rong Chang could only go out with such an eye-catching trunk.

They were stuck in time, and they didn't say much. After greeting each other, they teleported away together.

Another month passed.

The turmoil in the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm was really stirred up.

Just because of a rumor, it started from many third-rank and fourth-rank sects in the Eight Great God Mountains, and it spread all over many realms. This rumor is:

The ancient beast clan appeared in the secret realm of the Northern Wilderness, and went on a killing spree, killing many sect disciples!The most miserable ones belonged to several fourth-rank sects, such as Tiangang Cave, where all the disciples sent, including the first disciple under the cave master's seat, were trapped inside.

But the bigger news is obviously not this, but: the disciples of Zhaoxin Sect and the disciples of Tianxuanzong defeated the ancient beast clan together, and the Zhizhi Lingmu fell into the hands of Tianxuanzong!

As soon as this news came out, everyone was in an uproar, speculating whether the four major sects were going to make any big moves, and even the Zhao Xin Sect and Tianxuan Sect, who had always had a deep hatred, let go of their prejudices and began to cooperate.

However, the news of the appearance of the ancient beast clan did not attract many people's attention.

At the beginning, Jin kept Yuan Hongyi because he wanted him to vigorously publicize the ferocity of the ancient beast clan, but he never thought that his misunderstood master's background would suddenly overshadow the ancient beast clan's limelight. The two names of Zhizhuo were also widely spread along with this incident.

At least many people have heard of the name of Rong Chang, the second generation disciple under the head of Tianxuan Sect, but a boy under 13 years old?A handsome young man in white?The mysterious Zhao Xinzong disciple obviously attracted more topics.

And what made this matter another small climax was the statement made by Zhao Xinzong later. There are no these two disciples in the sect, so everyone should stop guessing too much.

This time it was even worse, from the original yearning and admiration for these two people, it suddenly turned into gloating at the fact that these two people dared to pretend to be disciples of the Zhaoxin Sect.

Humans are like this, according to the mind is high above, with its backing, but the image of Jin and Bai Zhizhuo is extremely brilliant, no matter how outrageous the rumors about their abilities are, some people will believe them.

But suddenly lost the banner of the Zhaoxin Sect, and the tall first-rank sect disciple suddenly fell into the mortal world and became a wild boy who didn't know his origin. I began to look forward to what Zhao Xinzong could do to show these two people some color.

Pretending to be a famous disciple, this matter can be big or small, it all depends on Zhao Xinzong's attitude.

As for Gong Shiming?I'm sorry, but according to the rumors, it's just a brave second-rank bone-forging cultivator, and the reputation of the two first-rank realm practitioners is simply incomparable.

But it's a pity that after the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm, these two people evaporated like others, and they couldn't be found everywhere, and even the Tan family was nowhere to be found. Under the repeated questioning of the good people, the Tan family in Baihe City let out a sigh. But Jin and Bai Zhizhuo will go to this year's Qianlong meeting.

Then the news spread quickly, and of course Zhao Xinzong must have known about it.

As a result, many idlers began to gear up and prepare to watch how Zhao Xinzong would handle this matter.

As for the spirit beast egg that appeared in the Sunburnt Spirit Wood and its final arrangements, those who knew it were ignored, at least so far, no rumors have spread.

And the Tianxuan Sect has also become the sect that belongs to the Sunburnt Spirit Wood. Although many people are not surprised by this, there are also many monks who wonder why the Tianxuan Sect is interested in this Sunburnt Spiritual Wood. Although the Spiritual Wood is rare, But compared with the giant of Tianxuanzong, it is still a bit stingy.

Jin, who was the most hurt in this incident, said that this is not the result I want at all.

It may be that not many people died, and the disturbances in the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm are really far worse than those in the previous life.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, no matter how big the turmoil was this time, everyone's fixed concept of the ancient beast race must still be that simple and honest race that shrank in Daze.

Moreover, there will soon be bigger and more powerful news spread throughout the cultivation world. At that time, except for a few sects that suffered a lot, no one will pay attention to the ancient beast clan.

The news is——

The Ruomu fruit on Yuqiong Mountain, the holy land of Zhaoxin Sect, is a space dao seed that has matured.
