Alienated Martial Arts

The underground space that originally exuded a faint silver light, like the autumn moon, has now become extremely dim.

There were also rumbling thunders and howling strong winds, which made people almost unable to stand still.

But these are not the point.

What really makes Qiu Mei feel uncomfortable is the surge of spiritual energy.

Converging in one direction from all directions.

They all disappeared deep underground, where the spiritual spring is located.

Even the spiritual energy accumulated through her practice was ready to move, and there were even signs of breaking out of her body.

Only by relying on the technique of using all his strength, he could barely keep his mind calm under such drastic changes.

boom! ! !

Suddenly there was another muffled thunder explosion.

The entire underground space is in constant turmoil.

I don’t know how long it will take.

All the changes are finally settling down.

But when everything stabilized, the silver bright band manifested by the spiritual veins became increasingly bleak.

Qiu Mei took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, feeling a heavy haze rise in her heart at this moment.

If this continues, it may not take too long for the spiritual spring formed by the intertwined spiritual veins in the underground to dry up and disappear.

If that day comes, the Qiu family's reliance on domination in the North may no longer exist. From now on, I am afraid that no one will be able to break through the barrier and become a great monk in the Lingquan realm.

Just thinking about the cause of this crisis and predicament, the fire that had just risen in Qiu Mei's heart was completely extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

So what if the spiritual spring does not exist?

Do they still dare to rebel against the Lord of Pain?

After all, this situation is considered a chronic death at best, and there is no telling that there will be other turning points in the future. However, once the seemingly gentle and kind-hearted Lord of Pain is angered, the entire Qiu family may be immediately annihilated.

At that time, let alone whether a new spiritual spring realm monk can be born, whether there is anyone left alive in the family depends on the kindness of the person.

Chi! ! !

The sound of the blade entering flesh sounded again.

Qiu Mei's somewhat anxious and confused reverie was interrupted.

She subconsciously turned around and saw Mo Du with a fanatical expression on his face, chipping away at the muscles in his arm.

The knife was struck so hard and with so much force that the white bones could be clearly seen.

"The pain is great. This time I actually vaguely saw the gray fog and heard the sound of gurgling water. Perhaps this is a barrier that blocks the truth. I need to understand my heart and nature under the guidance of my Lord, so that all illusions will no longer exist. ."

Mo Du held the handle of the knife in his back, put his hand on his forehead and kowtowed again. After a moment, he slowly stood up from the cold ground and looked over with a twisted smile on his face.

"Miss Qiumei, don't you really consider joining me to explore the truth on the basis of understanding and feeling pain?"

Qiu Mei shook his head firmly and refused, "Mr. Mo, there is no need to persuade me any more. After all, we are practicing different paths. If we forcefully change the path, not only may I not be able to perceive the reality with pain, but the most likely possibility is that I will face life and death head-on and fall." Into the abyss of endless darkness.”

"That's such a shame."

"Miss Qiu has the body of a fairy, but she has no firm heart towards the Tao. It is really disappointing and hard to control herself."

Mo Du spoke slowly, then suddenly the topic changed, and his eyes lit up, "Miss Qiu really don't think about it anymore? You must know that my Lord once said that there is great terror between life and death, which means There is great pain between life and death.

Therefore, with Miss Qiu’s talent and qualifications as a fairy body, she might be able to break through the illusions and evil deeds at the intersection of life and death, and see the reality of the world hidden behind the fog barrier..."

"It's impossible to think about it, not even once in your life."

Qiu Mei's eyes fell on the ferocious twisted body, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were twitching slightly.

This is pure madness.

He doesn't take his life seriously at all.

This includes not only others, but even himself.

Except for the Lord of Pain that he passionately believed in, everything else was no different in his eyes. They were just tools that could be used to seek the truth.

If it weren't for the restraint of the Lord of Pain, he might have tied her to the bed long ago, and then cut her into thin slices with a knife. He might not have finished it for ten days and ten nights.

She tried hard to collect her thoughts and walked forward quickly, not wanting to say another word to this lunatic.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a dark shadow flashing across, and Qiu Mei, who had a keen sense of perception, quickly caught it.

She couldn't help but stop, squinted her eyes and looked around.

Uh-huh! ! !

After a few breaths, another shadow flashed past.

Like a long snake between reality and reality, the bright silver band appeared in the underground spiritual veins, but it just flashed and disappeared.

"What the hell is this?"

"When I was close to the underground spiritual veins before, I never saw such a strange scene."

"Could it be that these shadows that look like illusory snakes are also related to the Lord of Pain who occupies the spiritual spring to practice?"

Qiu Mei thought silently, her cheeks turned white without warning, and there was almost no trace of blood.

Swish, swish, swish!

Because just after she discovered the two shadows, countless "illusory snakes" suddenly appeared within her spiritual veins.

They are intertwined and crowded.

In the increasingly dimmer silver band, various weird and terrifying images are transformed.

What's even more frightening is that after staring at these shadows for a long time, she even became mentally trance-like.

His vision went dark and quickly became blurry.

Wherever he looked, there seemed to be ghost images.

Nearby are the increasingly dim spiritual veins and the deep, empty underground space.

There were ripples in the distance, presenting a completely different fantasy scene.

"No, it's not two double images."

"After the two layers of ghosting, there seems to be a third layer of scenes!"

"What on earth is that? It seems to have a great attraction, and it wants to capture my true spirit and soul, but I can't really see what it is that can bring me such great fear."

Tick ​​tock! !

Tick ​​tock!

Drops of blood dripped from the corners of his eyes, falling to the ground along his pale cheeks, making an undetectable sound.

As time went by, more and more blood poured out of Qiu Mei's seven orifices.

The whole person also quickly became weak and declined.

But she didn't even notice it, and didn't even raise her hand to wipe it.

He just stood there in a daze, staring at the void in front of him, as if his true soul had been taken away and turned into a lifeless sculpture.

She saw a chaotic mist like the deep sea.

Spots of light, large and small, swim among them.

Although they looked almost nothing, they gave her a rather dangerous feeling.

Even facing the two ancestors of the Spirit Spring Realm in the clan, they had never experienced such tremendous pressure.

However, the ocean of chaotic mist and the light spots within it, which together formed the second layer of ghost images outside the underground space, were not the real source of extreme fear for Qiu Mei.

What's even more terrifying is yet to come.

Through the vast fog, she vaguely saw a dark and silent void.

There is also a looming huge shadow, suspended motionless among them.

They are located deep in the dark void, filled with the endless death energy of silence and despair.

The huge corpse that seemed to be decayed and decayed made her horrified and frightened, as if it would be devoured of all life in the next moment.

Suddenly, two scarlet full moons slowly rose.

There was an icy cold light inside.

He quickly illuminated the large area of ​​darkness and applied a layer of scarlet blood that was even more weird and terrifying than ink.

During this time, those illusory snake shadows appeared again, meandering and swimming in the spiritual veins, as if they were integrated with the blood-colored light, blending perfectly.

But with the appearance of these two blood moons, Qiu Mei became calm and peaceful, no longer the panic that almost drove her crazy when multiple shadows suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

She let out a long sigh, unaware that she was slowly walking forward.

What is on my mind is no longer the fear of death, but perhaps the feeling that dying like this is something to be thankful for.

At least it would be better than sinking in the darkness just seen and then waiting for death in utter despair.

But as time passed, Qiu Mei was surprised to find that she did not feel any pain at all.

Not only did the great terror between life and death not come, but even the true soul, which was affected by multiple phantoms, seemed to become much more comfortable and lighter.

What's more important is that her cultivation level has improved visibly under the light of the blood moon.

A large amount of spiritual energy gathered.

All of it poured into her body.

She didn't even need her mastery technique, it was directly absorbed and transformed, turning it into a source of power that she could use at will.

"This feeling is so refreshing."

"If I can continue like this, I can even break the barrier in a short time and reach the same spiritual spring level as my ancestors."

Qiu Mei was completely immersed in this wonderful feeling, completely forgetting the passage of time.

It wasn't until the scarlet light disappeared silently and the dark shadow quietly retreated that he reluctantly broke away from the samadhi.

She subconsciously opened her eyes and saw a pair of feet standing in front of her.

Looking up again, he saw a snow-white gown covering the tall figure.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but in her perception, the man in front of her was like a black hole, swallowing up everything around her. Only the position where she was standing was reserved for a small safe area. It didn't have much impact in the end.

Qiu Mei shivered, and then suddenly came back to her senses.

She also didn't expect that she would arrive near the spiritual spring without knowing it.

Mo Du's presence disappeared beside her, and only this figure in white robe appeared silently in front of her.

Qiu Mei immediately gathered her thoughts, bowed and saluted, "I am in great pain. I will pay my respects to my lord."

"Lord of Pain?"

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Who gave this name? Although it sounds a bit weird, it has a somewhat mysterious flavor."

Qiu Mei did not raise his head and carefully replied, "To my lord, this is the name given by Mr. Modu."

After saying this, she couldn't help but notice something was wrong.

After all, given this person's high level, how could she tell her what her name was?

Qiu Mei was frightened in her heart and wanted to explain, but she couldn't even utter a single word after slurring her lips.

"Modu, if he had the same talent and qualifications as you, coupled with his perseverance, it might be possible to break through the barriers of knowledge and see some hidden truth through the fog.

But you don't have to be afraid. Since I didn't let Mo Du touch you at the beginning, I won't change my mind later. After all, you don't have a stubborn and crazy will like him, and many things you do are too much. "

Wei Tao sighed softly, looking away from the frozen Qiu Mei, and looked up at the gloomy and dark heights.

It was as if through the entire underground space, I could see the winter night sky that I had not seen for a long time.

"What did you just discover?"

After a moment, he spoke again, breaking the dull and oppressive atmosphere in the venue.

"My slave saw the vast fog and the even more distant dark void."

"And deep in the dark void, there seems to be something terrifying. No matter how hard I concentrate, I can't see it clearly..."

Qiu Mei spoke slowly while recalling and thinking.

Describe in detail what you just experienced.

Looking out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly discovered that the feet of the "Lord of Pain" in front of her seemed to be a little unreal. To be more precise, they seemed to be between reality and reality. They were completely different from what she saw at first. appearance.

However, Qiu Mei did not dare to show any signs of this. Even the nearby spiritual spring did not raise his head to take a look.

Wei Tao listened carefully and nodded slowly, "It is indeed the body of a fairy spirit. Although I have not yet figured out the secret, it will not delay you from gaining something under my guidance and discovering a path that you have never imagined before. "

Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed secretly, "The basalt turtle and snake are entangled and supporting each other, and the yin and yang interact to evolve all things. But now they are surrounded by death, hidden in the dark void. I wonder if the turtle and snake can be reborn and the basalt can be reborn."

Through your perception, I know the attraction of the Taixu Realm to the ancient Holy Spirit. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But now that I have come to this step, I simply put aside my doubts and continue walking. It will also allow me to take a closer look at what is going on here and where the remnant soul of the ancient god and giant spirit is hidden. "

"The tortoise and snake are reborn, and Xuanwu is reborn."

"The realm of Taixu, the ancient Holy Spirit, and the ancient gods and giant spirits."

Qiu Mei listened silently. Although she had no idea what it meant, her thoughts were so complicated that she couldn't help but feel confused for a while.

Time passed little by little.

It wasn't until the gentle man's voice sounded again that she woke up from her unconsciousness.

"This spiritual spring can no longer meet my needs."

"If you continue to practice regardless of the situation, it will be a trivial matter to take it away. It may even affect large areas of spiritual veins and directly disconnect them from other underground spiritual veins."

This spiritual spring can provide training for the entire Qiu family, but it can't meet this person's needs?

Or even drain it, affecting the operation of the entire spiritual vein?

The level of pain was beyond her imagination.

Qiu Mei was filled with surprise and confusion.

But there was no doubt whether he could do it.

Because just walking all the way, the shock that the entire underground space brought to her all showed the terror and horror of the "Lord of Pain".

It can really dim the manifestation of spiritual veins. Even if you come close to the spiritual spring, you can hardly feel the existence of spiritual energy.

It wasn't until he allowed it that Lingyuan surged again.

It was even as if he had turned into a well-behaved and obedient pet. Not only was he allowed to be driven by his will, but it was also easily poured into her body, leading her to soar all the way to the top.

Wei Tao paused for a moment and then continued, "Unfortunately, I failed to discover some problems in advance during this retreat, which makes it a little inconvenient to move around now.

Therefore, I need you to take action to bring more and larger spiritual springs under the control of the Qiu family, so that I can build on the existing foundation and reach the height I want in the shortest possible time. "

"More, bigger spiritual springs."

Qiu Mei took a deep breath and replied cautiously, "Since my lord has issued the decree, my family will obey it to the death. If I want to control more powerful spiritual springs, I must have a head-on confrontation with other sects and families.

And with the current level of strength of the family, I am afraid that even if they all go out, they will not be able to do it. Therefore, I am extremely worried and worried that I will miss my master's important event. "

"Your worries are reasonable, but I can't delay my affairs."

"Since you have decided to make the next step, you must make plans in advance. Naturally, you cannot fight an unprepared battle."

Quietly, Wei Tao's figure disappeared.

Only the sound that gradually faded away was left, still echoing in the underground space.

"If you are not strong, then practice and become stronger."

"You are responsible for going underground to practice, and I am responsible for making you stronger."

"It is necessary to create an army whose individual strength is above the Lingquan realm in the shortest possible time."
