Luo Xue held her breath and watched the whole process carefully.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise from below. She looked down and vaguely saw a familiar figure.
Before she could recognize who this figure was, Luo Xue had already entered the secret realm with other cultivators.
At the moment the secret realm was opened, to everyone's surprise, a figure suddenly soared into the air and flew towards the crack in the secret realm.
It seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to open the door to the secret realm and force his way through.
Everyone was stunned. How could this be done
Several sharp-minded monks reacted instantly, and in less than half a breath, they followed the figure into the air and rushed towards the gate to the secret realm.
There was still excitement and anticipation in their eyes, as well as a bit of greed.
"Heavenly Dan Qi... I have a chance too!"
When the examiners saw this scene, they did not become anxious. Instead, many of them showed a hint of mockery in their expressions.
Are these people really not afraid of death
The reason why they didn't worry about unqualified people forcibly entering the secret realm was that without the mark, the moment they passed through the door to the secret realm, the space would completely tear their bodies apart, leaving no blood foam.
So, the examiners all folded their arms and remained indifferent.
However, the perceptive elders of the clan saw an unusual one among these monks.
"It's Nangong Mian, stop her quickly!"
That’s right, the first person to take off was Nangong Mian. She had long expected that the examiners would choose to stand idly by, so she was so unscrupulous.
However, Nangong Mian did not expect that the elders had been paying close attention to her movements and did not relax even until the last moment.
Are they really afraid that Nangong Mian will enter the secret realm again
Upon hearing this, the examiners were horrified. Their eyes were fixed on the leader Nangong Mian, and they used magic to try to stop her.
But unfortunately, since the door to the secret realm is still open, the messy space around it hinders the use of magical powers.
In addition, the examiners did not dare to give their all because they were worried about affecting the door to the secret realm.
"Hehe, you want to catch me? No way!"
Nangong Mian looked at the examiners chasing after him from below, with a slight smile on his face.
The magic weapon that she had prepared earlier to pass through the secret door began to take effect gradually, and her figure slowly merged into the opened secret door.
It has come to this point, and the examiners can only stop with regret.
If they continue to try to stop him, Nangong Mian’s life might be in danger.
After all, he is the direct descendant of the Sixth Great Uncle. If he is killed, there will be no way to explain it... Most of the examiners are disciples from other branches, and they dare not act rashly.
When the elders saw this scene, they could only frown and breathe heavily, thinking about how to tell Nangong Ling about this matter.
It wasn't that they wanted Nangong Mian to help. She just ran in on her own.
"Bye~"
Nangong Mian smiled like a flower, waved to everyone, and then his figure completely disappeared.
At the same time, several other monks with quick reactions crashed into the door to the secret realm.
While they were still congratulating themselves on their cleverness, in just a moment, they exploded from the inside out.
Not even a trace of residue was left.
This scene directly stopped the monks who were ready to move, and they realized that the door to the secret realm was not so easy to enter.
Less than a few breaths after Nangong Mian sneaked into the secret realm, the blood color above the sky gradually dimmed, the door to the secret realm was closing, and the Blood Sea Secret Realm was once again disconnected from the real world.
"The speed of recovery has slowed down a lot," an elder said worriedly, "I'm afraid that at most we can only open the door to the secret realm once more."
If the limit is exceeded, the next bombardment will not open the secret realm, but destroy it, which is almost the same as the result of entering the secret realm above the Jindan realm. This is definitely a situation that the elders do not want to see.
"I just hope... this can go smoothly."
The elders sighed and continued to guard outside the secret realm.
... ...
The skinny old woman was half leaning on the recliner, her cloudy eyes slightly closed. A terrifying dusky aura enveloped her, as if she would step into the underworld in the next moment.
Next to him was a quiet woman sitting in a wheelchair with a respectful look on her face.
"Ling'er, there has been some unusual movement in our ancestral land. I'm afraid you may need to go over there." The old woman said slowly, "You are the one with the purest bloodline in this generation. I can only ask you for help."
"Yes, great-grandmother."
Nangong Ling lowered his head and replied, but he was still worried about his sister in his heart.
Based on her understanding of her sister, she might have gone to the Blood Sea Secret Realm...
It’s just that Taizu-grandmother called so urgently that Nangong Ling really had no chance to make good arrangements.
Taizu's status in the Nangong clan is even higher than that of the Emperor and Empress.
Her generation is much higher than that of the Emperor and Empress, and she is the ancient being closest to the eternal era.
Therefore, since Taizu Lao personally summoned him and it was so urgent, Nangong Ling did not dare to be negligent at all.
Now it seems that this matter involves the ancestral land... It is indeed a serious situation.
"Don't worry, Wan'er will go with you."
Grandma Taizu opened her eyes, her pupils almost spread to the entire white of her eyes, and she could hardly focus her vision.
"She has returned from the Imperial Palace. She has spent a lot of time with you in the past. Although she is a little weaker, she controls the laws of space. I think she can be of some help."
"... Yeah, I understand."
Nangong Ling nodded. The Wan'er that Grandma Taizu mentioned was the old lady who was the etiquette officer in the imperial palace. She was also a descendant of the Nangong family, but only a side branch.
Chapter 181: The Strangeness of the Sea of Blood and the Immortal Will
The ancestral land of the Nangong clan is not near the Nangong Holy Land, it is quite far away.
Today, the Nangong Holy Land is located in the east of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, in an area with the most abundant spiritual energy in the eastern heaven and earth. It is the most powerful among several hidden ancient clans.
However, the ancestral land of Nangong is located in the wild area in the south of the Great Qin Dynasty, and it is even in a relatively remote place with almost no people.
According to legend, in ancient times, the Nangong clan was just an inconspicuous tribe. It was only because they were favored by the ancient mythical beast, the Phoenix, that they were able to grow into the behemoth that now covers half of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The place pointed out by the mythical beast Phoenix is the ancestral land in the wild south.
Although this statement is just a legend that cannot be true, the location of the Nangong ancestral land is indeed not that good.
Not to mention that there are now unextinguishable flames burning everywhere in the ancestral land. Without a certain level of cultivation and bloodline, it is difficult to even get close.
There was a reason why Grandma Taizu specifically asked Nangong Ling to go to the ancestral land to check out any unusual movements. In addition to strength and bloodline, Nangong Ling's principles of cultivation were also very consistent.
It is the most difficult of the several avenues left by the ancient divine phoenix. It is named "Immortality", while its counterpart is the dreaded "Withering" in the world.
The flames of the ancestral land have an immortal nature, and only Nangong Ling, who controls the same laws, can better explore the ancestral land.
Besides... this is also an opportunity.
The changes in the ancestral land do not necessarily mean a disaster. It may be a great fortune, just like when Nangong was favored by the divine phoenix.
Therefore, due to various considerations, Taizu chose Nangong Ling and asked Nangong Wan'er, who was good at the laws of space, to accompany him, hoping that there would be a chance to escape when an accident occurred.
"Sister Wan'er..."
Nangong Ling's eyes flickered slightly. She had heard about what happened in the imperial palace some time ago, and she was a little worried about her sister Wan'er, with whom she grew up.
It’s just that Sister Wan’er has been in seclusion these days, and it’s inconvenient for her to disturb her, so they didn’t meet.
"Don't worry about Xiao Mian's matter," Great Grandma saw Nangong Ling's hesitation and said slowly, "The clan will take care of her. Although I am older than you, I still have some face."
In fact, Taizu's strength is not particularly strong. She is just an ordinary person in the Crossing the Sea Realm, but in terms of seniority, no one can match her.
Even the Emperor and Empress dared not ignore what she said.
"Thank you, great-grandmother," Nangong Ling breathed a sigh of relief. With the great-grandmother's promise, there was no need to worry too much about Xiao Mian's affairs. "By the way, should I go find Sister Wan'er..."
"I'm here, Ling'er."
A steady voice sounded, and a petite woman stood at the door of the room. However, her appearance and other aspects... were definitely not those of a young girl.
It's just... it's completely different from the previous image of the hunchbacked old lady, except for some similarities in facial features.
But because of this similarity, even if Luo Xue, who lives with her day and night, appeared here, she might not be able to recognize that this woman is the old etiquette officer.
In fact, Nangong Wan'er's appearance in the imperial palace was just to conceal her identity. In the imperial palace, which was like a whirlpool of the abyss, a hunchbacked old lady was always easier to be ignored.
She is a cultivator in the Yuhua realm and is not about to die, so how could her face be so old
"Sister Wan'er, you're here?" Nangong Ling looked over, a little surprised, "How have you been lately?"
"I'm fine."
Nangong Wan'er nodded silently. She stood beside Nangong Ling and bowed to the great-grandmother.
"Meet the great-grandmother."
"Get up," said Grandma Taizu calmly, "This journey will not be easy, you two must act cautiously and do not rush into anything."
"yes."
Nangong Ling and Nangong Wan'er nodded in unison.
As the changes in the Nangong ancestral land were rather urgent, Great Grandma did not keep them any longer.
Soon, Nangong Ling and Nangong Wan'er set out for the southern wilderness, preparing to enter the ancestral land to find out what was going on.
When Taizu-lao saw them off, she did not stand up, but continued to lean back in the recliner with her eyes slightly closed, until a graceful and majestic figure appeared beside her.
"Purple Luan."
Grandma Taizu opened her eyes slightly.
"Greetings to Grandmother Taizu," the Empress bowed slightly and asked softly, "Have they left yet?"
"Um."
Great Grandma nodded.
“I didn’t expect that our ancestral land would undergo such changes... Coupled with this blood sea secret realm, I’m afraid that the Nangong clan will face changes like those in ancient times.” The empress frowned deeply. Although she was far away in the imperial capital, she was still concerned about the situation of the Nangong Holy Land.
Of course, she was the first to know the situation in the Blood Sea Secret Realm.
It seems that the Nangong clan does not seem to attach much importance to the Blood Sea Secret Realm. Even the people they deal with are just some elders of the clan. They even plan to seek help from monks from outside.
But actually... it's because of the ancestral land.
The collapse of the Blood Sea Secret Realm and the changes in the ancestral land occurred at the same time, and the further changes in the ancestral land last night corresponded to the disturbance in the Blood Sea Secret Realm.
After weighing the two factors, the Blood Sea Secret Realm was actually abandoned. What was more important was the situation in the Nangong ancestral land.
"If the sea of blood collapses completely, I hope you can help and at least save Ling'er's sister." Taizu Lao said softly.
A Jindan secret realm is not enough to make the Empress Dowager, who has reached the Duhai realm, helpless, not to mention that the law she possesses is the same space as Nangong Wan'er.
It's just that the Emperor and Empress are still stuck in the Imperial Palace, and the Blood Sea Secret Realm is complicated. If they want to rescue people from inside... I'm afraid they won't be able to save too many.
It would be best if the people in the secret realm could solve it by themselves, as people outside the secret realm really can't help much.
The Emperor and Empress chatted with Grandma Taizu for a few more words before the phantom slowly dissipated, leaving Grandma Taizu alone in the empty room.
She raised her head slightly, and her eyes seemed to pass through the ceiling, through the sky, and look up at the sky.
"Thousands of years..."
"Has this change finally come to an end?"
"It's a pity that I, an old man, will never see you again..."
... ... .
The pungent smell and the eerie coldness.
Luo Xue slowly opened her eyes and couldn't help shivering.
She is now at the peak of foundation building. Even if she goes to an environment of absolute zero, she can rely on the internal circulation to maintain her body temperature and will not feel cold at all.
There could only be one reason that could make her shiver.
