Immortal Palace Longevity

…

Mottled walls,

dilapidated doors and windows,

There is still a vague glimpse of what it looked like back then.

A group of people walked on the ancient streets,

Looking around with mixed feelings,

With inexplicable sadness.

"How grand was the sect back then?"

Tang Tianbao couldn't help but think as his eyes swept over the large buildings.

The secret realm is only opened once every hundred years, and as the Holy Son of this generation, this is his first time to enter.

Although there are resources left by the ancestors in the secret realm, they can greatly alleviate the current predicament.

However, Tang Tianbao, Zhou Ziwen and others were surprisingly not happy. Instead, they felt guilty towards the ancestors of the sect.

Since the beginning of their cultivation, they have been instilled with the concept of reviving the sect and cultivating hard, and they have already truly recognized their identity as Holy Fire Cult monks.

If the younger generation is not incompetent, why should we always rely on the legacy of our ancestors? !

But the facts are facts. Since losing its dominance, the Holy Fire Sect has been suppressed by the God Samana with all its strength. It has become increasingly weak and has to remain anonymous.

The most critical cultivation resources are becoming less and less available, and the situation is becoming more and more embarrassing.

After the death of the last elder, Shi Renjie, there was an embarrassing situation where there were no Jindan monks. This made many loyal believers unwilling but helpless.

"..."

Feeling ashamed, Tang Tianbao, Zhou Ziwen, and Uncle Yang walked forward slowly, and no one spoke for a while.

As an alchemist, Liu Yu's revealed cultivation level is only in the middle stage of foundation building, so naturally he is in the safest position in the middle.

He joins the Holy Fire Sect now only for the "Three Yuan Fruit". He has no special feelings and no burden.

However, as fellow sect monks, they can understand the current mood of the six people.

The core members who can be selected to enter the secret realm and can naturally be trusted are mostly trained (brainwashed) by the sect from an early age and receive resources far beyond those of ordinary monks.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

In this case, if you don't feel a little guilty, you have no conscience.

Tang Tianbao and three others were in the front, Liu Yu was in the middle, and the other three later-stage foundation-building disciples were behind.

A group of seven people groped forward cautiously.

Carefully avoiding the puppet's sensing range, the seven people walked between the decaying buildings. Tang Tianbao, who had been silent for a long time, slowly opened his mouth and told the news about the secret realm.

Although the Holy Fire Order can prevent the second-level guardian puppets from being regarded as intruders, each third-level puppet is controlled by a separate system formation. It is difficult to say whether it will have any effect.

As a secret realm left behind when the Holy Fire Cult flourished, third-level puppets also exist, and their number is no longer small.

Naturally, the seven of them had to be careful and not take their lives for granted.

"The secret realm is divided into three levels..."

Having said this, the seven people stopped walking and came to a crossroads. There were guardian puppets on both sides of the road.

Tang Tianbao spoke for a moment, estimated the puppet's sensing range, and silently jumped onto the house and climbed over the eaves and walls.

After the six people following him were all in place, he continued to introduce.

The physical body of the immortal cultivators in the foundation-building stage is no longer a mortal body, so it is no problem to jump onto a building more than ten feet high with a little help. The seven of them have already climbed up each building as if they were walking on flat ground.

Liu Yu followed closely the footsteps of the three people in front, less than two feet away, and remembered every word of the secret information that Tang Tianbao said in his heart.

At this distance, if he chooses to make a sneak attack, he is very sure to contact someone.

"Perhaps, when Tang Tianbao has almost finished the secret realm news, he can decisively kill this person and get the Holy Fire Token?"

Walking along the eaves and walls, an inexplicable color flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and a bold idea arose.

With his current strength, if it were a sneak attack, he would be very confident that he would kill any one of the three people first, and then escape unscathed from the attacks of the remaining five people.

The means are a little despicable, but he doesn't mind using them as long as he can achieve his goal.

However, Liu Yu thought about it again and again, and finally put an end to this idea for the time being.

Although Tang Tianbao behaved openly and openly in the past, no one knew whether he had a hand in such an important matter regarding such an important matter.

After all, I know the person but not the heart, and there is no way to verify the authenticity of the news at this time.

It's better to follow this person and wait until you reach the location of the Three Yuan Fruit or when you have the right time to take action!

Liu Yu listened carefully. Tang Tianbao spoke very fast. In just twenty breaths, he roughly introduced the situation of the secret realm.

According to it, the entire secret realm is divided into three levels.

The first and second floors store a large number of resources left over from the heyday of the Holy Fire Cult, but each resource is protected by formations, puppets and other means.

If there is no Holy Fire Order to open it, you can only rely on brute force to crack it.

As for the third level, it is the core of the entire secret realm. Tang Tianbao only mentioned it in a few words and seemed unwilling to mention it more.

Liu Yu looked calm, but secretly felt something strange in her heart.

However, the inquiry was too abrupt at this time, so he did not speak. Anyway, in the end, all the answers to the mystery will be revealed.

As for whether he can make it to the end, Liu Yu is sure.

"tread" "tread"

There were slight footsteps on the somewhat rotten eaves.

Although they have restrained themselves enough, the six of them are not like Liu Yu, who has minute control over their own strength.

Inevitably, there was still a slight movement.

Fortunately, the seven people were outside the perception range of the guardian puppet, and the slight movement would not affect the situation.

After walking slowly for a while, they returned to the bluestone ground. Tang Tianbao raised his hand and the seven people stopped in front of a tall tower.

On the surface, the tower was dark green and had seven floors, and seemed to be built of wood.

However, Liu Yu glanced and knew that this tower was not an ordinary building.

How could an ordinary building not decay after three thousand years?

At least it was built of spiritual wood, and it was also specially treated, and it was blessed by runes and formations to keep its original appearance.

After visual inspection, the tower was about twenty-one feet high, and each floor was about three feet.

Unlike the decayed buildings around it, although there were some old traces, it was not decayed at all.

"--Tower"

The square plaque did not seem to be blessed by the formation. The traces of the first two words were blurred, and only the last word "Tower" could be barely recognized.

There is a huge puppet hovering beside the entrance of this tower. It seems to be a guarding puppet.

Liu Yu looked at it carefully, his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly, and he felt a strong palpitation in his heart.

This is a snake-shaped puppet. Compared with the tiny human, the hovering body alone is seven or eight feet high.

If the whole body is fully stretched out, it is estimated to be at least ten feet.

The body is composed of sections, two huge fangs, and the dark green appearance is like a knife and an axe...

Even in deep sleep, the breath exuded by this snake-shaped puppet still makes the seven people feel as if they are facing a great enemy and feel strongly uneasy.

There is no doubt that this is a third-level puppet with a golden elixir-level combat power!

Reminding himself to act carefully, Liu Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Tang Tianbao and waited for the next words.

"Qingmu Tower."

Tang Tianbao muttered to himself and said the name of this tower.

After several breaths of contemplation, he seemed to have made a decision. He spoke softly with a solemn expression:

"The Qingmu Tower was built by the last Yuanying ancestor of the Holy Church. It is a place for storing elixirs."

"The elixirs placed in it can preserve the medicinal properties well and maintain immortality for five thousand years."

"Ziwen, Uncle Yang, and Fellow Daoist Hong, you wait here, and I will go in and get the elixirs myself."

Not to mention the array mechanism in the Qingmu Tower, the snake-shaped puppet at the door alone is a natural barrier for these foundation-building cultivators.

And after years of corrosion, whether the original control array can operate is still a matter of debate.

Gu Lu

The danger can be imagined!

"I don't know if the Holy Fire Order can still work."

Looking at the tower from a distance, Tang Tianbao's eyes were complicated.

"No."

"The secret realm array has been corroded over the years and has not been effectively maintained. It is still unclear whether the Holy Fire Order is useful."

"Holy Son, you must not take risks yourself!"

"Let me do such dangerous things."

"Anyway, I am already 250 years old. My life will come in the next few years. It is time for me to contribute my remaining energy to the Holy Church."

Uncle Yang, who was white-haired, thin, and old, stepped forward and spoke in a firm tone.

He looked serious and his words and actions did not seem fake.

"Yes, Holy Son."

"You are the hope of the Holy Church. If something happens to you, what should we do?!"

Three late-stage foundation-building believers also spoke to dissuade him.

Looking at this touching scene of "competing to die", Liu Yu's heart was calm and he just stood aside in silence.

He had no idea of ​​taking risks, so he naturally would not speak at this time.

Even if he wanted to "perform", it was not at this time. If the other party agreed, wouldn't it be a dilemma?

Besides, Liu Yu has been a guest official in the Holy Fire Church for less than a year, so it is not his turn in terms of seniority.

So at this time, it is better to remain silent.

"Tianbao understands your intentions."

"But this is the responsibility of every Holy Son. I cannot choose to escape because of danger. I have no choice but to do it!"

Facing the core members such as Uncle Yang, Tang Tianbao slowly shook his head and nodded, and finally said firmly.

"Holy Son..."

Uncle Yang and the other four were very anxious when they heard this, and did not give up persuading them.

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind."

"The Holy Church is now in turmoil and lacks all kinds of resources. Everyone understands the situation."

"Tianbao has been trained by the Holy Church with all its strength since he was a child. Now is the time to fulfill his responsibilities!!"

Tang Tianbao said firmly.

In the face of danger, he did not retreat and firmly fulfilled his responsibilities as a Holy Son.

"Holy Son, you can't..."

Several people still did not give up persuading.

From the expressions, demeanor, and the induction of spiritual perception, Liu Yu judged that several people did not seem to be faking, and his heart was moved.

In a sect, there are always some monks who are dedicated to the public.

Before the building collapsed, there were always a few people who chose to be buried with him.

Facing the persuasion of several people, Tang Tianbao waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to say more, then looked at the "Qingmu Tower" and the giant snake puppet, took out the Holy Fire Order and took a firm step.

No turning back!

He slowly approached the entrance, and at the same time pinched the spell to hit the Holy Fire Order, and began to activate the token.

Liu Yu, Zhou Ziwen, and Uncle Yang stood under the eaves, watching him walk alone.

After a while, the distance to the giant snake puppet was less than 15 feet.

As it entered the sensing range, the giant snake puppet was automatically activated by the power of the formation, and a faint light lit up in its pupils, which were larger than lanterns.

Almost half a breath later, the cold vertical pupils were lit up by the faint light, and looked like two green lanterns from a distance.

Under the eaves, Liu Yu's heart tightened when he saw this, and his mind was more tense than ever before.

As long as the situation was slightly wrong, he would immediately stay away from here.

Puppets are different from living beings. They do not have any wisdom. At that time, there is no reason to talk, and they will not accept "benefits". They will only follow the last order and are emotionless killing machines.

Moreover, the sensing range of the revived Jindan-level puppet is not comparable to that when it was silent.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu sent a message to Zhou Ziwen and others, and he quickly retreated to a safe place first. The six people quickly retreated to a safe distance.

In sight, the giant snake puppet has fully revived.

"Crack" "Crack"

In the sound like grinding teeth, it slowly stood up and waited, and the seven or eight feet body rose again to more than ten feet.

It seems that a fatal attack will be launched in the next moment!

From a distance, a fierce breath came towards him, accompanied by a strong sense of crisis.

Even though Liu Yu had retreated to a safe enough distance, the strong sense of crisis did not diminish at all.

"Is this the Jindan puppet?"

"If I can harvest one, I will have a certain ability to compete with the Jindan cultivators in the future, at least my own safety will be guaranteed."

Looking at the giant snake puppet, Liu Yu's greed flashed in his eyes.

But he still restrained himself. The most important purpose of his coming here was for the "Sanyuan Fruit".

Any other magic weapon, spiritual object or resource must give way to the spiritual fruit.

"After the Sanyuan Fruit, maybe we can make some plans. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

Liu Yu crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought of this.

On the other side, facing the revived giant snake puppet, Tang Tianbao's direct pressure can be imagined, and cold sweat has already appeared on his temples.

The green vertical pupils flickered with spiritual light, but the giant snake puppet did not move immediately, as if it was trying to identify whether it was an "invader".

Tang Tianbao's heart trembled, and the speed of pinching the spell in his hand became faster and faster. Under the crisis, the potential was released, and the fingers were almost left with afterimages.

Just when the giant snake puppet was about to attack, the Holy Fire Order finally responded, and a red light flew out.

Under the eaves, the six people also held their breath at this moment.

Zhou Ziwen, Uncle Yang and others frowned, as if they felt the same way, clenching their fists and looking a little nervous.

Facing the red light, the giant snake puppet did not dodge or avoid it, allowing it to sink three inches into the position.

Then, under the gaze of seven pairs of eyes, it slowly coiled down and resumed its original posture.

The lantern-like green vertical pupils gradually disappeared.

"Success."

Beside him, Uncle Yang was overjoyed and whispered.

Including Liu Yu, several people were relieved when they saw this scene. The formation was not completely damaged.

"Alas~!"

"If there had not been a Yuanying cultivator born in the sect, this secret realm would not be like this. Even basic maintenance cannot be done."

"The ancestors of the Holy Church took great pains when building it. As long as a Yuanying cultivator is born, he can immediately take over this place."

"With the secret realm as the foundation, he may not be able to wait for the opportunity to overthrow the Shensha Sect and restore the glory of the past."

"It's just that the younger generation of disciples are incompetent, so they have fallen to this point. It's all thanks to the ancestors' kindness that the inheritance can be maintained."

Uncle Yang sighed softly and spoke with emotion.

Hearing this, several people felt uncomfortable and looked at Tang Tianbao's back silently without saying a word.

Liu Yu's spiritual sense swept around, just silently watching Tang Tianbao's actions, he was walking towards the entrance and entering the tower.

Although due to the fourth-level formation, the consciousness was suppressed and could only spread six miles in a straight line in one direction with himself as the center.

But no matter what, his own safety was the most important, and he tried his best to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times.

Because of the "magic method of conserving the spirit", the degree of Liu Yu's soul was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.

Even if the consciousness was fully open, as long as the secret technique of consciousness was not used, it would not be a problem to maintain it for one or two days.

If he insisted on it, he could barely make it for three days.
