A month later, Fang Yue successfully became an elite disciple of the martial arts hall with his own efforts and talents, and was able to step into the legendary Sutra Hall to explore the secrets of martial arts.

The Sutra Hall, an ancient building located in the heart of the martial arts hall, seems to carry thousands of years of wisdom and secrets.

On the golden plaque hanging high on the door of the hall, the three characters "Sutra Hall" shine brightly, exuding an indescribable solemnity and sacredness.

Under the guidance of the deacon elder, Fang Yue stepped into this mysterious hall.

The light in the hall is soft and bright, and rows of towering bookshelves stand quietly around like loyal guardians.

On the bookshelves, all kinds of secret books are dazzling, some are simple and old, as if telling the glory of the past; some are dazzling, revealing an extraordinary atmosphere.

The deacon elder smiled and introduced to Fang Yue: "There are many kinds of secret books here, whether it is the method of cultivation, martial arts secrets, formation layout, or alchemy, everything is available.

You can choose the most suitable secret book for your practice according to your interests and needs.

But remember, each secret book contains unique restrictions. If you practice without permission, it may cause serious consequences."

Fang Yue heard this and secretly warned himself, his eyes shuttled through many secret books.

Finally, his sight was attracted by a secret book with a strange light flashing on the cover.

This secret book looks ordinary, but the runes flowing on the cover reveal its extraordinary origin.

Fang Yue carefully took down the secret book and opened the cover. He saw that it recorded a practice method called "Xuantian Poyuan Jue".

This practice is profound and mysterious, describing a unique way of running Yuan Qi, which can greatly improve the practitioner's Yuan Qi condensation and explosive power.

Fang Yue's heart moved, this is exactly what he urgently needs at the moment.

Facing the threats of the mysterious black-robed man and the powerful demons, he knew that his strength was far from enough.

Only by constantly improving himself can he gain a foothold in this world full of dangers.

So Fang Yue took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to silently comprehend the mysteries in "Xuantian Poyuan Jue".

As time went by, he seemed to be immersed in a mysterious world and couldn't extricate himself.

When he woke up from the state of cultivation, he had actually broken through the original bottleneck of cultivation and his strength had made a qualitative leap.

He was surprised and looked at the secret book in his hand with gratitude. The deacon elder looked at Fang Yue's changes and nodded with satisfaction:

"It seems that you are quite talented in this technique. But remember, the road of cultivation must not be eager for quick success and instant benefits, but to move forward step by step. Only in this way can you go further on this road."

Fang Yue replied respectfully: "Thank you for the elder's teachings, Fang Yue will definitely remember it in his heart."

During the days in the martial arts hall, Fang Yue not only devoted himself to practicing "Xuantian Poyuan Jue", but also made many like-minded partners.

They exchanged martial arts and experiences and made progress together.

From them, Fang Yue learned a lot of valuable experience and skills, which also made him more deeply appreciate the profoundness of Dajin martial arts.

"The martial arts of Dajin are indeed extraordinary. Even the low-level martial arts have benefited me a lot, as if a whole new world has been opened." Fang Yue said with emotion.

While practicing in the martial arts hall, Fang Yue asked around about the rumors of the demon disaster and the monster race. However, to his surprise, there was no relevant record in the martial arts hall.

Whether it was the vast books in the library or the memories of those experienced elders and senior disciples, there was no trace of the demon disaster and the monster race.

Fang Yue was full of doubts and uneasiness. He knew the horror of the demon disaster and the cunning of the monster race. During the Wei Dynasty, he had personally experienced fierce battles with the monster race and witnessed the tragic situation after the demon disaster.

But in the martial arts hall of the Dajin Dynasty, it seemed that these dangers had never existed.

He couldn't help but think to himself: "Is it because the territory of the Jin Dynasty is too vast, far away from the activities of the demons and monsters? Or is there some special reason for this place to deliberately conceal this news?"

All kinds of speculations kept circling in his mind.

In order to find out the truth, Fang Yue decided to hold a small exchange party in the martial arts hall and invite those disciples who had traveled all over the world and were knowledgeable to come.

At the party, Fang Yue sincerely asked everyone: "Everyone, I have heard that there are demons raging in the distance, and the monsters often stir up trouble, but there is no news in our martial arts hall. I wonder if you have heard about it during your travels?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. A disciple named Zhao Qi said: "Brother Fang, we have been in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty for many years, and have never encountered what you said, nor have we heard of such rumors.

Perhaps this is just an individual phenomenon in other regions and has nothing to do with our Great Jin."

Another disciple named Qian Feng also echoed: "Yes, I have been to many remote places, and everywhere I went was peaceful and there was no sign of demon disasters or monsters making trouble."

Fang Yue frowned, and his doubts became more and more serious.

He knew that the harm of demon disasters and monsters could never be limited to the Great Wei Dynasty, but why did it seem to be forgotten in the Great Jin Dynasty?

At this time, the elder Li Tong, who had been silent all the time, slowly said: "Fang Yue, what you mentioned is too bizarre.

I have been in the martial arts hall for many years, and I have never known of such a disaster.

However, I have heard that in some ancient ruins on the border of the dynasty, there seem to be many unknown secrets hidden, and perhaps there will be the answers you want there."

Fang Yue's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly: "Elder, where are these ancient ruins? I would like to go and explore them."

Elder Li Tong shook his head slightly and said: "The location of those ruins is extremely secret, and there are many dangers. Many people who went to explore them never returned. I have only heard a little about it, and I don't know the exact location."

Although Fang Yue felt a little disappointed, he also understood that this might be his only clue at the moment.

He decided to continue practicing in the martial arts hall to improve his strength, and at the same time pay attention to the news about the ancient ruins.

In the following days, Fang Yue practiced more diligently.

Not only did he practice "Xuantian Poyuan Jue" more deeply, he also tried to combine it with "Youying Huanyuan Jue" to try to create his own unique martial arts.

In the competition with his partners, he constantly tried new moves and gradually explored a fighting style that combined concealment, surprise attack and powerful explosive power.

As for the news about the ancient ruins, Fang Yue did not miss any possible clues.

He often communicated with merchants and adventurers who traveled around, hoping to get useful information from them.

Finally, by chance, Fang Yue learned from an adventurer who had just returned from the border of the dynasty that a place suspected to be an ancient relic was an abandoned ancient temple deep in the misty forest.

It is said that the ancient temple is surrounded by mist all year round, and people who enter it will lose their way, and there are often strange noises, which are frightening.

After Fang Yue got the news, he was both excited and uneasy. Excited that there was finally a possible direction to explore the secrets of the demon disaster and the monster clan; uneasy because the misty forest and the abandoned ancient temple sounded full of unknown dangers.

He knew that this trip was difficult, but for the belief of protecting peace in his heart, in order to fight against the mysterious man in black robe and the monster clan, he resolutely began to prepare. Fang Yue carefully packed his bag, bringing enough dry food, healing pills and some small items that might come in handy at critical moments. The little demon beast seemed to sense the unusualness of this trip, and followed him closely, with a hint of uneasiness and determination in his eyes.

When saying goodbye to the deacon elder and his companions, everyone looked worried. The deacon elder said earnestly: "Fang Yue, this trip to the Misty Forest must be dangerous, you must be careful. If you encounter a predicament that you can't deal with, don't be stubborn, just return in time."

Fang Yue clasped his fists and saluted, and responded sincerely: "Thank you for your concern, elder. Fang Yue will do his best and do what he can. When I return, I will tell you in detail what I encountered."

The companions gathered around, some gave precious amulets, and some shared their unique experience of survival in the wild. Lin Yu patted Fang Yue on the shoulder and said: "Brother Fang, you must be safe on this trip. We are all waiting for you to return in the martial arts hall. Then we will drink and talk together and talk about martial arts."

Fang Yue embarked on the journey to the Misty Forest with everyone's blessings and concerns. Along the way, he slept in the open air, traveled day and night, and as he gradually approached his destination, the surrounding environment became more and more eerie. The originally lush trees became sparse and twisted, and the branches and leaves showed a strange black color, as if they had been eroded by the power of darkness.

Finally arrived at the edge of the misty forest, a chill hit him. The mist was like thick ink, constantly rolling and surging, and the faint strange sounds were like ghosts crying and wolves howling, which was creepy.

Fang Yue took a deep breath and performed the concealment technique of "Shadow Illusion Yuan Jue", while circulating the internal energy to the whole body to form a layer of protection. He stepped into the misty forest carefully, and the little demon beast followed closely behind him, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

As soon as he entered, Fang Yue felt that his vision was severely obstructed and he could only see the scene within a few steps.

He could only rely on hearing and his keen perception of the fluctuations of the energy to judge the surrounding situation. Every step he took seemed to be on the edge of unknown danger.

Suddenly, there was a slight rustling sound from the left. Fang Yue was alerted instantly, stopped, held his long sword in front of him, and stared at the source of the sound with a sharp gaze.

The little demon beast also arched its body and let out a low roar.

A moment later, a huge demon beast that looked like a black panther but had strange red eyes flashing out of the mist.

It exuded a strong bloody smell, and was obviously a ferocious predator in this forest.

Fang Yue's heart trembled, and he did not dare to slack off at all, and quickly displayed the unique martial arts after fusion.

He flashed and disappeared from the spot like a ghost, and then appeared on the side of the demon beast, with the long sword in his hand wrapped in vigorous vitality, stabbing fiercely at the waist of the demon beast.

The demon beast reacted very quickly, it turned around suddenly, and pounced on Fang Yue with its sharp claws.

Fang Yue performed the "Shadow Step" to cleverly avoid the attack. At the same time, he took advantage of the force to jump up and displayed the explosive power of "Xuantian Poyuan Jue" in the air. The long sword brought a dazzling light and slashed at the head of the monster.

The monster raised its head and roared, and a black flame spurted out of its mouth. The flame swept towards Fang Yue with scorching heat and pungent smell.

Fang Yue hurriedly held his breath and used the skills in "Shadow Huanyuan Jue" to quickly retreat and narrowly avoided the invasion of the flame.

The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Fang Yue gradually gained the upper hand with his superb martial arts and rich combat experience.

After a hard fight, he finally found the flaw of the monster and stabbed it with all his strength. The long sword accurately pierced the monster's vitals. The monster let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground.

Fang Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted slightly.

He knew that this was only the first test of entering the misty forest, and the road ahead was long and full of dangers.

After a short rest, he continued to move forward into the depths of the forest. As he went deeper, the mist became thicker and the strange noises became more frequent.

Fang Yue always remained highly alert and focused on dealing with possible dangers.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Fang Yue vaguely saw the outline of a building looming in the mist ahead. He was moved. Could it be the legendary abandoned ancient temple?

He quickened his pace and walked towards the outline of the building.

As the distance got closer, an ancient and dilapidated ancient temple gradually appeared clearly in front of him.

The walls of the ancient temple were covered with moss and vines, the roof tiles were incomplete, the door was closed, and the copper ring was rusty.

Standing outside the ancient temple, Fang Yue could feel the mysterious and ancient atmosphere emanating from it.

He understood that there might be the answer he was looking for, but there must also be huge dangers hidden.

He took a deep breath, used the art of concealment again, and walked carefully towards the door of the ancient temple.

The little demon beast followed closely behind, also carefully looking at the ancient temple.

When Fang Yue walked to the front door, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed the closed door.

The door made a dull "creak" sound and slowly opened.

An old and decayed smell came to his face, and it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.

Fang Yue condensed the vitality in his body, forming a ball of soft light in his hand, illuminating a small area in front of him.

He slowly walked into the ancient temple with the light.

The ancient temple was very empty, the ground was covered with thick dust, and the walls were engraved with strange patterns and runes. Those patterns and runes flashed with faint light, as if telling a long history.

Fang Yue walked slowly along the wall, carefully examining those patterns and runes, trying to find some clues from them.

Suddenly, he found that a pattern on the wall seemed to have traces of being touched by humans. The traces were very new and out of tune with the dusty environment around it.

Fang Yue's heart moved, could it be that someone had been here recently?

He continued to explore along the direction of the traces and found a loose floor tile in a corner. (End of this chapter)
