Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan has been thinking about various problems that need to be solved and encountered in the past few months.

The biggest problem he faces now is, of course, to break the blood-colored death ban, then restore his spiritual consciousness, and then repair his body to fully restore his cultivation.

But if he really considers it in this order, Li Yan's final result can only be waiting for death, because he has no ability to restore the blood-colored death ban.

Instead, after the order was reversed, his only opportunity appeared, and the "Higanbana" made his "Immortal Dark Phoenix" bloodline react.

That is because there is a critical point of power alternation between the Yang World and the Yin World in the flower.

Then these "Higanbana" have a very strange growth range, only growing on both sides of the "Minglun River", which means that they are affected by the "Minglun River".

So Li Yan's final goal is locked on the "Minglun River". Judging from the results of his own exploration in the first mission, "Higanbana" should be the first choice.

As for whether it is feasible or not, put it aside first. Once there is a glimmer of hope, then Li Yan will need a lot of "Higanbana".

But Fanan didn't give him that much time, so Li Yan wondered if the water in the "Minglun River" also contained the power of the Yang World and the Yin World.

If it did, the river water would be much more than the "Bianhua", which might be the result he wanted.

However, the water in the "Minglun River" also contained those critical point powers, and Fanan and his men should have discovered them.

Wouldn't it be better for them to give up picking "Bianhua" and directly use the river water to refine the elixir? But the other party had no intention of doing so.

Li Yan gave a possible explanation in his later thinking.

That is, there should be such power in the water of the "Minglun River", but the critical point power in the river water may be very overbearing and strong.

Those ghosts in the underworld only dared to touch the "Bianhua" that had its critical point power neutralized and stabilized after the life span was absorbed. Maybe even the Hades Emperor didn't dare to touch the river water?

If a cultivator were to go and take the river water, a cultivator would be drained of his lifespan, not to mention being able to return with the river water.

At the same time, there are so many strange creatures in the "Minglun River", and Li Yan and his people have lost their cultivation.

Basically, when they get too close to the river, the people in the prison are almost dead.

And Li Yan wants to go and confirm whether there is the critical point power in the river water that he guessed?

If his guess is correct, then this "Minglun River" is too vast, and he needs to repair the power of his body, and maybe he can succeed in just one time.

What Li Yan lacks most at present is time. He must restore his strength as much as possible before Fa Nan finds out the abnormality in his body.

However, the various possibilities of the appearance of the "Minglun River" are just some judgments made by Li Yan through analysis, plus conjectures.

Maybe it's not the case at all. Even when he was approaching the river, there were too many strange monsters, or they were extremely sensitive, and he was attacked to death.

Maybe there is a critical point of power in the river, but it is just as Li Yan thought, the power is too overbearing, so overbearing that Li Yan can't bear it at all.

The moment he came into contact, either his lifespan was exhausted, or his body was washed and exploded...

And the following possibilities are the most likely results.

The path of cultivating immortals is extremely dangerous, and Li Yan has walked on the edge of death again and again.

This time, he just repeated what he had done before, and risked his life again. Even if he died, he couldn't stay in such a prison.

There was not much time left for him in a mission, and he had to consider the journey back later, so Li Yan tried his best to fly along the "Ghost Thorn" all the way.

At the same time, he had to pay attention to the dangers around him at all times. As long as he was entangled by those strange monsters, even if Li Yan could escape, his time this time would not be enough.

He could only hope for the next time, but could he guarantee that he would not encounter those strange monsters on the next path?

"I'll do my best to reach the river this time, as long as there is some hope..."

Li Yan was determined, and he began to focus only on the front. Without his spiritual sense, his perception had become too weak.

He even gave up the exploration on both sides, so that his forward speed could increase again, but this was undoubtedly a gamble with his life for every step forward.

At his current speed, he would not be able to react if there was an attack on both sides.

"Safety, safety...safety..."

Li Yan kept repeating these two words in his mind. What he needed most at the moment was safety, without any obstruction.

As time passed quickly, Li Yan felt like he had walked through a long life in the short four miles, and felt that it was endless.

And under his expectation, there really was no accident, and he had already arrived at a place about half a mile away from the "Minglun River".

When he arrived here, Li Yan, who was flying, suddenly stopped his steps, and he could already see the dark green river water in his eyes.

But he had to stop, because in front of him, the "Ghost Thorn" Mountain, which had been stretching out, had been getting shorter and shorter before, but suddenly disappeared completely here.

Li Yan began to move forward cautiously, and at this time he began to be careful and alert to everything around him again.

"These 'ghost thorns' may really have some restraining effect on the strange monsters in the river. Whether walking from the other end to the place where 'Bianhua' is picked.

Or walking from there to here, at least I didn't encounter those strange things, but what about this half mile?"

Li Yan's thoughts were flying. He felt that even the monks in the cells would know about the unexpected effect of "ghost thorns".

And "ghost thorns" may be the same as "Bianhua". It may take a certain number of years before the degree of disgust of the strange monsters in the river will be different.

Because when I first encountered the water ghost, there were some "ghost thorns" around the other party, but that thing was not too far away.

And the "ghost thorn" mountain that I walked through obviously took too many years to form, so the age is naturally very long.

This may be the reason why I didn't encounter those strange ghosts along the way.

But it's useless for the monks in the prison to know. The longer the "ghost thorns" grow, the tougher and sharper they are. It's difficult for those monks to walk on it for a long time.

Especially as he got closer to the "Minglun River", the black spikes produced by the "ghost thorns" could not be easily broken by Li Yan when he stepped on them, and he could only say that he was pressing them down.

Li Yan stood behind a cluster of "ghost thorns" that were as tall as a person. These were the few tall "ghost thorns" here, but they seemed to stand alone.

The remaining "ghost thorns" had already begun to grow close to the ground. This cluster of "ghost thorns" blocked Li Yan's figure. He only revealed a little bit of his sight and looked forward.

Li Yan could see that behind the edge of the "ghost thorn" mountain, a large area of ​​"Higanbana" had appeared.

Judging from his current experience, he could tell at a glance that there were too many "Higanbana", even more than seven hundred years old.

Li Yan also saw the dark green river water farther away. The light in this space might have become darker because of the river water.

Those swaying huge "Higanbana" flowers were so dazzling and bloody, like blurred blood lines swinging in the dark night.

After seeing it, people can't help but feel creepy.

Li Yan observed for a while, and found that in the flowers of those "Higanbana", there were some places where "ghost thorns" appeared, but they were not only very sparse, but also looked like a small bunch of weeds, very short.

"Let's fight!"

After watching for a while, Li Yan did not find any strange monsters in the river, so he decided to use the method he had just judged.

He grabbed the "ghost thorn" in front of him with both hands, ignoring the dense thorns on it, and directly clenched his hands, and then he lifted it with both arms.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, this "ghost thorn" that looked like a caltrop tree was pulled out by Li Yan.

Just when Li Yan was about to hold this thing and step out of the edge of this "ghost thorn" mountain, his body suddenly stopped.

The "ghost thorn" in his hand immediately blocked in front of him, because in the midst of the muffled sound, some extremely illusory shadows suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.

Fortunately, Li Yan reacted in time, otherwise he might have rushed in directly.

"The sound alarmed those strange things in the river..."

Li Yan quickly judged in his mind, his body motionless, looking at the shadows in the dark through the gaps between the branches of the "ghost thorn".

After he carefully identified it for a few times, his heart was already chilled. There was a shadow similar to a head, just floating quietly in the "Bianhua" bush, with a wide-open mouth and a zombie face with green whiskers;

There were also water ghosts that he had encountered before; there were also things like centipedes, with dense legs all over the body;

There were also corpses with their chests opened; there were also things that kept jumping around with their drooping eyeballs in their hands;

On the contrary, those white-clothed ghosts with disheveled hair made Li Yan feel that they were the most normal monsters here, at least he would often see similar ghosts in the cell.

These things had no trace before, but they appeared in the "Higanbana" bushes in an instant, completely blocking Li Yan's way forward.

Li Yan couldn't help but secretly groan. He didn't see how these things came out. They should have been attracted by the noise he made just now.

He could only hide behind this "ghost thorn" and keep his body motionless.

Li Yan kept looking around him, fearing that these strange things would suddenly appear beside or behind him, and he didn't know anything about it...

But what reassured him was that those strange things were just moving in the "Higanbana" bushes, and did not enter the "ghost thorn" that was like a mountain.

This made Li Yan feel more and more that his judgment on the "ghost thorn" might be correct.

But this was not the case at all. As time passed, Li Yan became more and more anxious. He felt that he might fail this time.

He could fight desperately, but facing so many strange monsters, he who had lost his cultivation would probably die in vain, and it would be useless!

Li Yan felt his heartbeat speeding up, he could even hear the "thump, thump, thump" sound, and his palms began to sweat.

But he kept his posture, and the "ghost thorn" in his hand did not move.

Every breath was so hard for Li Yan, he felt that his life was slipping away...

He could move laterally away from this section of the river bank, but Li Yan was not sure whether his movement would have any unpredictable consequences in the face of so many weird ghosts!

Just when Li Yan was thinking anxiously, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and then looked intently again. The erratic shadows in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Li Yan's heart moved, but he still didn't move his body. At this time, Li Yan began to become more and more careful.

After about a hundred breaths passed, a "Ghost Thorn" slowly walked down the edge of the "Ghost Thorn" mountain at an extremely slow speed and moved towards the "Butterfly Flower" bush...

Li Yan squatted in a half-crouch position, carefully avoiding all obstacles and trying not to touch any of the "flowers on the other side".

This black "Ghost Thorn" is like a small "tree" swaying slightly in the dark night!

Li Yan kept talking about the gods from all over the world in his heart. He hoped that those weird monsters in the river would never have intelligence.

Otherwise, such a huge "ghost thorn" appeared on the shore. Compared with the short and sparse "ghost thorns" around it, it would be a bit conspicuous.

Regarding these weird ghosts in the river, Bro also said that these weird things have no intelligence and should only rely on instinct every time they come out.

As for why they want to kill all ghosts and creatures that are not in the "Netherworld River", it may be to determine whether the other party has the aura of the "Netherworld River" water on them.

Everything Bro said was just what he heard from hearsay...

Of course, Li Yan didn't know whether the news was true or not, and he didn't know whether the "ghost thorn" in his hand could really make the other party completely avoid it and not want to get close.

Li Yan looked through the gap between the "ghost thorns" and looked at the dark green river in front of him, getting closer...

Suddenly, Li Yan once again felt as if someone had cast a immobilization spell on him. He squatted there, motionless, and his heart almost jumped out!

Just as he was moving slowly, looking behind him and on both sides, and turning his head to look forward, he saw a pair of eyes two feet away from him through the gap between the "ghost thorns" in his hands.

This caused large stains of sweat to appear on Li Yandeng's back. His eyes were glowing with deathly gray as he stared at the "Ghost Thorn" tree that suddenly stopped moving.

It was a fat woman dressed in red, with her head turned back at a weird angle, facing Li Yan with her back and face.

Li Yan felt that the "fatness" on her body was the result of being swollen by the river water. The woman's black hair was hanging down, and there were only two black holes left in her nostrils.

But in that black hole, there were two green snake-like things. They poked their heads out for a while, and then quickly retracted. They looked extremely gloomy...

The woman in red's gray eyes stared straight at the "Ghost Thorn". After a while, she suddenly floated in front of her.

The strangely turned head on the back almost instantly stuck to the "Ghost Thorn" tree.

Then, from the two black hole nostrils, two green snake-head-like things suddenly poked out, and began to shake their heads in an attempt to enter the "Ghost Thorn" bush.

But every time he only enters a little bit, he quickly shrinks back, making a strange "sizzling" sound at the same time...

Li Yan squatted on the ground. Although his back was already wet with sweat, he restrained himself from moving.

He knew that there were too many weird monsters that could appear at any time in the darkness around him. As long as he showed the slightest flaw, he would be surrounded in an instant.

Li Yan's expression was dull. He was holding his breath and concentrating. At the same time, the muscles in his legs were tense. As long as he found something bad, he would shoot out.

Although he didn't know whether he was retreating faster or the strange monster suddenly appeared from the darkness, this was his only way out.

"laugh!"

Li Yan felt his eyes flash, and the woman in red suddenly disappeared. Li Yan was shocked and immediately turned around to look around.
