Five Immortals Gate

It was discovered that the Zhenhun Palace was not the first cultivator to come here, because the jade slips recorded that they were swallowed by a heavenly demon called "Dream Return Ant" in the fusion realm.

They were eventually refined by this heavenly demon, but every time the "Dream Return Ant" was full, it would fall into a deep sleep.

Some cultivators who did not die at the time were even more painful to be refined later. Some of them needed to be refined for dozens or hundreds of years while the heavenly demon was sleeping, which made them live a life worse than death.

So some jade slips and talismans were left behind, and most of them were engraved with vicious curses similar to witchcraft against this "Dream Return Ant".

Some were left for later generations, because they found that the "Dream Return Ant" did not refine jade slips. These people hoped that if someone could finally escape from the world, they would take their news out.

Of course, these were just a helpless sustenance before people died.

This scared the cultivators of the Zhenhun Palace to death. They did not expect that the paradise they entered was actually in the body of a legendary heavenly demon.

In other words, is this demon sleeping or is there something else that allows them to survive temporarily? Will they also be refined in the future?

So, he quickly reported the matter to the sect.

In the end, this matter even alarmed the old sect master who had abdicated and became the Grand Elder.

At this time, the Soul-Calming Palace also had a biggest problem. The Grand Elder could not break through to the Fusion Realm.

After learning the news, he immediately came out of retreat, and after a secret discussion with everyone, he personally led the powerful gods in the sect to explore everywhere.

He even took the risk to enter the remaining dangerous places to look for various clues.

After more than ten years of careful investigation, the Grand Elder finally came to a conclusion that they were indeed in the body of a demon, but the demon had already fallen.

The reason for the fall is unknown. It may be that he died together with other powerful people after a battle. This can be inferred from the fact that his body was not taken away.

The corpse of a demon of this level is a top-level material for refining weapons.

Or after a battle with other powerful people, this demon was seriously injured, and died in seclusion due to a relapse of the injury, and finally the powerful body turned into this secret realm.

Finally, there is another possibility, but the possibility is not too high, that is, this demon devoured too many monks.

And those monks did not die immediately, so they left a lot of things.

Among them are many cursed ghost symbols, which are quite vicious. Although this demon is very powerful, if there are too many such curses, once it breaks out, it may cause him to die unexpectedly.

And in the exploration of more than ten years, the supreme elder unexpectedly found a place, where he actually sensed the opportunity for breakthrough.

It was also this place that finally allowed the old master to break through to the fusion realm first, and that place also became the most secret and important place of the Zhenhun Palace, with heavy protection.

But here, he can only break through to the fusion realm, and in the endless years afterwards, there will be no similar "blessed land" anymore.

But it is precisely because of the control of this only important place that the Soul-Calming Palace gradually allowed those outside soul cultivators to establish a sect here.

Anyway, no matter how hard they practiced, they could only cultivate to the Refining Void Realm.

The Soul-Calming Palace itself eventually formed a situation of three halls and one palace. The sect master and the supreme elders lived in the Soul-Calming Palace at the core of the sect, and the "Hu Shi Hall", "Fu Chen Hall" and "Yi Que Hall" were set up below.

Among them, the cultivators in the "Yi Que Hall" were basically outside soul cultivators, and the outstanding disciples of small sects in the future could be selected to join the Soul-Calming Palace.

Later, with the increase of various small sects and families, some cultivators who were excluded in the sects and families had to go out, and some casual cultivators appeared.

And these casual cultivators would also try to see if they could pass the assessment and enter the Soul-Calming Palace; if not, they would continue to live freely as casual cultivators.

After Li Yan sorted out these situations, he finally figured out his current situation.

"Even cultivators in the fusion realm cannot leave here, what can we do?"

How could Li Yan be willing to stay in the "Earth Realm" for his whole life, when his relatives were still outside.

"Since there is an entrance, there must be an exit. Either the exit is extremely difficult to appear, and no one has encountered it yet. It may be that it cannot appear because of some powerful restrictions.

But cultivators in the late fusion stage have no way here. Does it mean that the restrictions that suppress the "Earth Realm" have already exceeded this realm, but they cannot break through to the Tribulation Realm..."

For a while, Li Yan fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it has been, Li Yan felt a burst of pain in his brain, and he woke up.

He didn't know how long he had been thinking, and he even felt a tingling in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling bitter and confused.

Li Yan was in a daze for a long time, and then slowly made himself sober.

He wanted to leave this space too much, especially when he thought that he might never meet his relatives again in his life, he became restless.

He lost his former composure. As his cultivation became more profound, his hands were stained with too much blood, making his heart as hard as ice and rock.

But people who are familiar with Li Yan know that his biggest weakness is still family affection.

Once family affection is involved, he will become crazy and irrational, otherwise he would not have dragged a spiritual cultivator to death because of Gong Chenying.

"I really think too much. All the foreign cultivators who come here must have thought about this problem.

Although no one has left, at least they have more explorations after living here for a long time. If I can get this news, maybe I can get or discover something from it.

In addition, I haven't even reached the spiritual realm yet, and I'm actually thinking about fusion and tribulation. This is not very realistic..."

After calming himself down, Li Yan put these things aside, and his eyes narrowed again.

Now this is the world of soul cultivators, so he is in danger all the time. It is a luxury to find a way to leave the "Earth True Domain". Saving his life is the most important thing to consider at the moment...

Li Yan, who was thinking, was thinking hard about how he should face the environment here next. He even found a place to hide and couldn't get out, and the soul cultivators could also find out!

At a certain moment, Li Yan's eyes suddenly focused. He had been sorting out the information he had received, but he had overlooked another thing.

That is, when the gray-haired old man quietly launched the second attack, he stopped for a moment and asked Li Yan in confusion.

"He asked me if I was a soul cultivator? At that time, my defense subconsciously appeared after feeling the throbbing of the soul..."

The hasty defense was an instinctive defense, which came from the uninterrupted sharpening of more than ten years in the underground alley. It was a subconscious instinctive defense formed after being attacked by soul cultivators.

And why did the opponent's two attacks cause fluctuations in the human soul? This made his reaction faster.

"Yes... it's because of the Guiyi Fenshui Ci technique! Yes, that's right, the two levels of the technique are to attack the soul, in fact, it is a soul-type technique!

Moreover, I have already cultivated it to the second level, that is, it has reached the point where it can affect people's souls..."

These thoughts emerged in Li Yan's mind one by one, and Li Yan suddenly had an epiphany,

"Normal cultivators, even if they are born with strong souls, cannot drive them before practicing special soul cultivation techniques, so they cannot be called soul cultivators!

But whether it was my situation on the Qingqing Continent or some of the techniques in the Guishui Xianmen, I have dabbled in soul-type techniques...

So in this way, I actually have the possibility of becoming a real soul cultivator, and it is feasible to pretend to be a soul cultivator!

Before, the reason why I was discovered by the gray-haired old man was because I hid my body, and the fluctuation of my soul power was detected by the other party, which really made people feel a little sneaky and seemed to have something to hide..."

Li Yan suddenly seemed to open a window, and his eyes slowly lit up.

After searching the soul, he now has some basic soul cultivation techniques in his hands. If he can study and learn more about soul cultivation techniques, then he should not have to hide anymore.

Moreover, soul cultivation techniques are powerful. Li Yan, like other cultivators, has always wanted to obtain their techniques.

He is now practicing both the Dharma and the body, and has a fragmented poisonous body. He is a rare opponent of the same level. If he has such a strange method as soul cultivation, then he will have more means to save his life in the future.

Li Yan looked forward, where there were two bracelets on the ground, one belonging to the black-robed Jindan cultivator, and the other to the gray-haired old man.

These two bracelets are the storage space magic weapon of soul cultivation, called "Empty Shadow", which is made of other refining materials and "Soul Crystal Bud".

However, this kind of "Soul Crystal Bud" that can refine "Empty Shadow" must be more than 500 years old.

Therefore, this is not something that ordinary mortals can grow, but must be cultivated by cultivators themselves.

The "Empty Shadow" of the middle grade or above can be refined with the "Soul Crystal Bud" of more than 500 years as the tool, and a Heavenly Soul of Yuanying Realm or above as the law of heaven and earth.

The low-grade "Empty Shadow" also requires more than 500 "Soul Crystal Buds" and a hundred Heavenly Souls of Jindan Realm or above, but the size of the space inside is usually only one to five meters.

Li Yan raised his hand and took a bracelet in his hand. Now Li Yan knew that it was a soul mark of the other party, so he just needed to remove it.

In Li Yan's opinion, the two had died long ago, and his soul power was not bad. It would take some time to open it...

Half an hour later, a layer of sweat appeared on Li Yan's forehead, and his face turned pale due to excessive use of soul power.

He spent half a day trying, but still couldn't open any "Empty Shadow" bracelet.

"No, not only did it not open, but my soul was also shaken. Although there is a soul mark of a Jindan-level soul cultivator here, it cannot be broken.

My soul power should not be inferior to his... I can't even eliminate his soul mark. This is caused by the wrong way I use my soul power!

Even if the other party is dead, the soul mark is a special existence. Even if the main body dies, it is estimated that it will not dissipate as quickly as the consciousness mark.

Or it will not dissipate at all, just like a trace of soul of some cultivators, which can appear after several years..."

Li Yan thought in his heart that he felt that his soul power was far superior to other monks when dealing with the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

Now, with the increase in cultivation, the degree of soul cohesion is also increasing simultaneously. The reason why he cannot open the "empty shadow" should not be because his soul power is not enough. This may be because the way he uses the soul power is too rough. .

Not only is the attack power small, but it also wastes a lot of soul power.

After Li Yan thought about it, he made a plan.

He planned to choose a safer place nearby, use the formation to protect himself, and then learn some superficial soul cultivation techniques from the memory of the gray-haired old man.

In the memory of the gray-haired old man, in addition to some crude soul cultivation techniques, there are also some basic entry techniques. They should not be practiced by the old man himself, but just memories he has seen.

If he is discovered by others while practicing here, he will no longer hide and can try to go out and deal with it.

Anyway, from the memories of these two people, there are also casual cultivators in the "Earth Realm".

They were either unsuccessful in their sect and were bullied and ostracized; or they were unwilling to be restricted by the sect's rules and went out on their own, which was a good status.

Li Yan's soul power should be very strong, and he can meet the requirements for using some superficial spells, so after a brief understanding, he will see if he can open the two storage bracelets...

Sunset and sunrise, morning dew and evening dew, five days later, a figure shot out from a barren mountain, paused briefly in the air, and then flew away in one direction.

During the five days, perhaps due to the concealment effect of the formation, or perhaps because the place Li Yan chose was relatively remote, no one really found this place for the time being.

In such a short period of time, he did not practice soul cultivation techniques, but concentrated on studying the simple use of some techniques, although they were still very unfamiliar to use.

But Li Yan has the ability to "lead the soul to kill", and at least he has learned some methods of using it.

When he even tried to open the "Kong Shadow" bracelet, the soul seal on it seemed to be a little loose. Although he still couldn't open it, this also gave Li Yan a surprise.

Since he could simply use the soul cultivating technique, he didn't want to linger here anymore. Li Yan planned to test it first to see if he could deceive the soul cultivators outside.

Only after passing this level can he carefully consider his future plans and decide whether it is worth doing. He does not have much time to waste.

But just after Li Yan flew dozens of miles away from this mountain peak, he met three monks head-on. After seeing Li Yan's figure from a distance, these three people immediately came up to them and blocked Li Yan's path.

"Fellow Taoist, where did you come from?"
