Beast Mastery

Three days later, a burst of mysterious light suddenly rose outside the valley where Zhang Nuo was located. These lights kept twisting and tangled in mid-air, and finally turned into nothingness. At the same time, the valley here also disappeared.

On the second day after the valley disappeared, two rays of light appeared here. The rays of light faded away, revealing Wu Xu and Fu Ling.

As soon as they heard that there was a mysterious valley here, the two people rushed over immediately. However, after flying above the valley for a long time, they could not find the place described by Xue Qianyang at all.

"Qianyang, you can't remember it wrong, right?"

Fu Lingdai raised her eyebrows slightly and asked the disciple beside her.

"Master can't be wrong! I remember this place very clearly, but why is it missing again?"

The pretty face was full of suspicion, and Xue Qianyang was also puzzled.

Fu Ling glanced at Wu Xu opposite him, and saw him looking at his son Wu Gang with the same confusion. After a long time, the four of them had no choice but to fly away in the light.

Zhang Nuo saw everything that happened just now through the array. He had to admire Chunyangzi's sharp thinking. Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang really brought the masters of the two magic mountains here.

, if Chunyangzi hadn’t practiced the phantom formation in time, this cave would have been discovered by two powerful men.

Although the stone formation can block Wu Gang, it may not be able to stop Wu Xu and Fu Ling. After all, this formation has existed for too long, and there are no monks to repair it regularly, so the psychedelic ability is no longer what it used to be.

"It's okay now! They won't come back again! You can practice here with peace of mind!"

Looking at Zhang Nuo, Chunyangzi said with a tired look on his face. In the past few days, he had basically spent all his efforts to repair the phantom array. Now when he saw that the phantom array was completed, he could no longer hold on and dived in.

Inside the sword box.

Zhang Nuo stepped out of the stone chamber and came to the hall of the cave. He carefully collected the pile of powder that the previous monks had turned into, walked outside the cave, and buried him devoutly!

After returning to the cave, he sat down with peace of mind. As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt the spiritual energy around him rushing towards him. It turned out that this seat was the place with the strongest spiritual energy in the entire cave. Could it be that the original owner of the cave,

I will sit down here.

After calming down, Zhang Nuo felt everything around him. After four or five days, he opened his eyes again. He felt confident about the spiritual energy activity in the cave, and decided to start a long-term retreat.

After finding a few elixirs from the stone room where the elixirs were stored, Zhang Nuo placed them in front of him and put the Nine Dragon Sword Box to one side. The retreat officially began!

One year! Two years! Three years! As the saying goes, there is no time to practice. Zhang Nuo sat in the cave for three years. Cultivation is an extremely boring thing. If you want to succeed in cultivation, the first thing to do is,

Just being able to endure loneliness.

In the past three years, Zhang Nuo was like a wood carving and clay sculpture, his body motionless. Under the influence of the Nine Dragon Sword Box, the aura around him began to become more and more intense. Sometimes, he could even feel the aura falling like dewdrops.

On the body.

These are things that Zhang Nuo would never even dare to think about, especially the bottles of elixirs in front of him, which were more effective than he imagined.

According to Zhang Nuo's knowledge, there is no pill on the Tianjiang Plain that can compete with it! Even people like Patriarch Nanxuan have probably never heard of it.

I believe that in another three to five years, he may really be able to reach the realm of the Danjie stage. During the period of Zhang Nuo's cultivation, Chunyangzi was not idle either. He would come out of the sword box whenever he had nothing to do.

Explore the stone chambers in the cave. The collection is also quite rich.

In the three years since Zhang Nuo disappeared, Nanxuanzong was in trouble. Zhuge Qing sent countless disciples out to search, but there were no clues, and no one was alive or dead!

Zhuge An was equally anxious. He didn't expect that a small task assigned to Zhang Nuo would cause such a big thing. If something happened to Zhang Nuo, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

In the past three years, the four major sects have fought several battles with the five major demon mountains, but there has never been any progress. Except for the few demon fortresses captured at the beginning, not even a single demon mountain has been conquered.

Come down.

When Patriarch Nanxuan learned that Zhang Nuo was missing, he was also shocked. He did not believe that Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang could kill Zhang Nuo with their combined efforts. But since he was not killed, why didn't he

What about coming back?

Everything was confusing to everyone. Sometimes Zhuge An would think that Zhang Nuo had escaped before the battle, but if he wanted to leave, there were many opportunities before and there was no need to wait until this time.

Every time in the dead of night, Zhuge Qing would always look up at the sky silently, recalling Zhang Nuo's face. This seemingly ordinary boy had given her so many surprises that she would never forget it.

After waking up from the trance several times, she found that Zhang Nuo was no longer by her side. She felt a drunken longing in her heart, which made Zhuge Qing deeply feel that she might have fallen in love with that ordinary boy.

At the same time, in the cave where the Demon Emperor rebuilt his body, Wang Ji and others were also looking forward to it. Watching the Demon Emperor's distracted shadow gradually become more substantial, hope was rising in their hearts.

As for Zhang Nuo, they had long forgotten that he had not been seen in several battles. Maybe he had fallen into the stone formation, or maybe he left Nanxuan Sect on his own because he sensed something was not good.

No matter whether Zhang Nuo is dead or alive, as long as they leave Nanxuanzong and fight here, they will feel less pressure. They have a deep memory of that battle, and the team that killed Polang cannot be underestimated.

Regarding all this, Zhang Nuo, who was currently practicing, had no idea that his entire body and mind were devoted to cultivation, especially the temptation of the pill formation stage, which made him unable to extricate himself.

Now in the late stage of foundation building, Zhang Nuo already has three divine seas. Once the attack on the pill formation is successful, the fourth divine sea will be opened! By that time, the body's spiritual power reserves will be comparable to those in the general late stage of pill formation.

monk.

Generally speaking, most monks can only open the second divine sea when they reach the elixir formation stage, and they can only open the third divine sea when they reach the late elixir formation stage. That is to say, many monks in the late elixir formation stage are the third divine sea.

Some extremely talented monks may have four divine seas.

Based on this calculation, Zhang Nuo will have an advantage in terms of spiritual energy. Coupled with the weirdness of the 'Shangqing Sword Jue' and the sharpness of the magic weapon, theoretically speaking, he can compete with those in the early stage of pill formation.

The monks compete with one or two!

As for why he was a Dual Divine Sea cultivator in the first place, Zhang Nuo also asked Chunyangzi, but the answer given by the other party was very general. With Zhang Nuo's qualifications, it was impossible to start two Divine Seas as soon as he established the foundation.

In the end, Chunyangzi attributed all possibilities to the 'Xuantian Gold-eating Insect'.

Maybe it’s because Zhang Nuo is a parasite of the spirit worm and has something from the Xuantian spirit worm in his blood, so he opened the second divine sea!

On this day, Zhang Nuo finished practicing and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chunyangzi standing in front of him, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Senior, what happened?"

"I found another thing in the cave. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

Judging from Junyangzi's expression, it seems that this matter is not simple.

"What would make senior such a embarrassment?"

Zhang Nuo also became interested for a while. The things in this cave were so attractive to him. There were many things that he had never seen before. Since he had been practicing during this period, he did not study them specifically.

But Chunyangzi was different. He studied everything in the cave every day. Unexpectedly, more than three years later, rare treasures could still be found in the magic cave!

"You come with me!"

Chunyangzi shook his head, and reluctantly led Zhang Nuo towards the side of the cave. When he reached the end, he saw him waving one hand on the stone wall, and immediately the entire stone wall moved inside, slowly

Soon, a small stone room appeared in front of Zhang Nuo.

“There’s actually a darkroom here!”

Looking at everything in front of him in surprise, Zhang Nuo exclaimed. There are too many secrets in the cave. If a master like Chunyangzi hadn't discovered them, he might never know them in his life.

"I also discovered it accidentally. This dark room is very cleverly hidden. If I hadn't seen some clues left by the previous owner of the cave, I wouldn't have been able to do anything!"

Looking at everything around him, Chunyangzi sighed greatly. On the surface, this dark room was completely undetectable, and even his spiritual consciousness was isolated.

When the stone chamber was first opened, Zhang Nuo felt a cold air coming from inside, and even the hair on his body became stiff.

"Why does this breath sound like Yin Qi?"

Zhang Nuo had felt the presence of Yin Qi in the trial area.

"It's not like that! It's just that!"

Chunyangzi's face is ugly. He is a remnant soul and is even more sensitive to Yin energy!

"There is actually Yin Qi here. Who is the owner of the cave?"

"You'll know when you go in and take a look!"

After taking a look at Chunyangzi, Zhang Nuo felt that he was extremely wary of the things in the stone room, so he didn't ask any more questions and walked out of the stone room.

The space inside the stone chamber is not too big, but it gives people a gloomy feeling. Looking around, I saw a square crystal suspended in the center of the stone chamber. This crystal is one foot square. The whole body is exuding cold air.

.

Inside the crystal, there is a black butterfly frozen in ice. This butterfly is the same size as a normal butterfly, except that it is as black as ink. If you don't look carefully, you might think it is a piece of ink scattered into the crystal.

The black butterfly seemed to have been sleeping. No matter what Zhang Nuo did, it didn't respond. After watching it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what kind of butterfly it was.

After leaving the stone room, Zhang Nuo asked Chunyangzi:

"Senior, what's going on with the frozen black butterfly in the crystal?"

"Now, maybe I should let you know something about the underworld!"

With a long sigh, Chunyangzi began to think of things in the underworld.
