Li Yan has been looking around since he landed. He also checked a lot of books about the secret realm before coming here. He knew that the monsters opposite him were the ones who participated in the secret realm picking and the wheel of life and death.
Obviously, those three people were definitely not human. They were probably third-order monsters transformed into human form. First-order monsters are usually evolved from ordinary monsters, or are formed from the natural bloodline of different species.
After the wild beasts have devoured the treasures of heaven and earth and begin to consciously absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they have a certain chance of evolving into ordinary monsters. After further training, ordinary monsters have the hope of being promoted to first-level monsters.
Some powerful monsters have the blood of ancient monsters. When they are born, they are already first-level monsters, or even second-level monsters. These monsters are all ancient species and are extremely rare.
First-order monsters have already awakened their intelligence. When they reach the second order, they slowly begin to possess the ability to transform. Some monsters with powerful bloodlines can completely transform into human appearance at the second order.
During this period, most second-level monsters can only transform certain parts of their bodies, such as a beast head and a human body, or a human head and a beast tail, etc., which cannot be considered a real change.
Once the monsters advance to the third level, their magical powers become fully developed. They become no different from humans in appearance, except that the demonic aura on their bodies cannot be eliminated. However, this can usually only be seen by cultivators of the same level or higher.
When it reaches the fourth stage, it is equivalent to the existence of the human race's Nascent Soul ancestor. All the demonic aura is basically eliminated. As long as the true form is not revealed, it is difficult to be detected, unless you encounter a cultivator with strong spiritual awareness.
Li Yan could not see any so-called demonic aura from the three people he saw, which only showed that his realm was too low.
In the chaotic team behind these three monsters, there are dozens of half-human, half-monster creatures born from monsters.
The monster had a snake head and a human body, its upper body was naked, revealing its slender muscles, and it held a giant fork in its hand. It spewed out a red snake core from its mouth, and from time to time it rolled up and licked its nostrils, making a hissing sound, and its pair of green eyes emitted a sinister glow;
There was also one lying on the ground like a huge, plump white maggot, but with a human mouth and an upright nose on its head. The places on both sides where there were no ears were covered with densely woven eyeballs like copper coins. Dozens of pairs of eyes kept turning in all directions, which was a bit nauseating to look at.
The pangolin-like monster was covered with scales and stood upright like a human. Its limbs were no different from those of humans, and even its arms were a healthy wheat color. However, its head and tail were like sharp cones, which looked very strange...
Behind each team of dozens of monsters, there are more than a hundred monsters that cannot transform.
Li Yan guessed that the dozens of monsters in front should be second-level monsters, like human foundation-building cultivators; the ones behind them were first-level monsters, which were equal to his own Qi Condensation Stage.
Just as Li Yan was observing, he suddenly felt someone walking towards him. He turned his head and saw Li Wuyi walking towards him slowly.
This place should be the destination of this trip. The Jindan cultivators in front were talking, and those foundation-building cultivators were either talking in low voices or looking around, observing the monsters opposite and the opponents from another sect.
Li Wuyi did not participate in the competition, he just came here to lead Xiaozhu Peak on behalf of Wei Chongran, so he would not observe his opponent.
"Big Brother!"
Li Yan bowed slightly, Li Wuyi waved his hand to indicate that Li Yan did not need to be polite, and walked over to stand with him. He just saw Li Yan looking at the monsters, listening to the monsters shouting without scruples, Li Wuyi spoke in a low voice.
"This is the nature of demon beasts. They are naturally hostile to humans, so they don't have any so-called scruples or considerations.
The monsters are brutal and like to devour the body directly after killing the opponent, and will not even let go of the soul. After losing the soul, there is no chance of reincarnation, and they completely disappear from this world.
What’s more, some monsters like to rape and kill human female cultivators. If a human female cultivator falls into their hands, the end will be tragic…”
Li Wuyi's voice sounded in Li Yan's mind.
"Then... In that case, why did you send female cultivators to participate? Moreover, this kind of thing is also a taboo among cultivators. Doesn't the sect care about it?"
Li Yan couldn't help but frown when he heard it, and looked in the direction of Gong Chenying, Zhao Min, Li Changting and others. You know, even among the four sects, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen.
At least it cannot happen openly. Even if you have reasons to kill the other person, you cannot allow rape. Violators will be severely punished.
"Of course the four major sects have discussed this matter with the secret realm monsters, but we cannot see the situation inside the picking area from outside. What happened inside? How to get evidence? It is all very difficult.
Although there were cultivators who carried special jade slips in the past in order to record some images at critical moments, these jade slips were firstly too rare and not everyone could carry them. Secondly, even if you brought them in, you would have to have a chance to burn them, and the chances were slim.
Therefore, in the end, this matter became a tacit agreement. However, as a result, the human cultivators also launched their revenge.
After killing the monsters, their spirits will not be let go. Their consciousness will be eliminated and then injected into the monster core. Such monster cores can improve the level of medicine and weapon making by several levels. This is also a taboo in the outside world.
Monster beasts that have lost their primordial spirits are also unable to enter reincarnation. If they are refined into spiritual tools or magic weapons, they will be driven forever until their primordial spirits are exhausted, which is no less terrible than entering the eighteen levels of purgatory.
But this is a bloody trial. If either party touches upon these two situations in the outside world, they will be hunted down to death by the other party.
There are more filthy things going on in the world of immortal cultivation. Aren't female cultivators cultivators? Even if someone protects them, will they never be allowed to leave the sect? Will there be no day for us to perish? How will they survive then?"
Li Wuyi's indifferent voice sounded in Li Yan's mind. It had lost its usual gentleness and was so calm that it made people feel unfamiliar.
Li Yan was stunned after hearing this, and then remained silent.
"Cultivating immortals, cultivating immortals, every step is a thorn, relying on the flowers in the water, the mountains will fall one day, the water will dry up one day, the only thing left is yourself."
What he thinks in his heart.
"I believe they all have the means to quickly understand themselves. If they really don't have time to use them, then find out who that person is and kill him."
Li Wuyi's voice was very soft. Li Yan was stunned, he felt that the eldest brother had something else in mind.
"If we kill him, won't we be able to enter the secret realm once every fifteen years? And will those monsters still participate next time?"
"Hehehe... Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you know what the three monsters in front are?"
Li Wuyi obviously didn't want to continue this topic. There were some secrets that Li Yan couldn't know at this time.
Li Yan shook his head. Although he had noticed them just now, apart from roughly guessing that the man in black robe with a sinister appearance, deep eyes and a hooked nose might be an eagle, he could not see any characteristics of the other two.
“I do know a little bit about it. I met these three people one after another when I participated in the secret picking several times before, and later I asked Master.
The skinny man in black robe is a late-stage third-order Swift Eagle, named Yin Congfeng. It was heard that he had entered the late-stage third-order many years ago.
This demon cultivator's innate magical power includes the power of space. It is said that he has mastered some of the basics of the power of space. However, with just this basic knowledge, he has already achieved incredible speed and unparalleled escape skills.
I heard that a senior master from the Ten Steps Academy had a sparring match with him. Although he suppressed him at a smaller level, he was still defeated despite the sharpness of the sword immortal's attacks and the speed of flying with the sword.
Afterwards, the uncle-master said that this monster was a top-notch expert in the Jindan stage who was extremely difficult to deal with, and that there would be no hope of defeating it unless there was a preset formation or a magical weapon that could confine space.
The handsome young man was a jade unicorn named Lin Mingyu, an extremely rare ancient species. He was a first-level monster when he was born. It was said that he had reached the peak of the early third level thirty years ago, but no one knew what level he was at now.
Its innate magical power is to understand the will of heaven, listen to the destiny, and have the ability to predict and foresee.
Master once said that with the combat power of this monster at the initial stage of the third level, it might not be impossible for it to escape even if it faced a human at the late stage of the golden elixir. How powerful it is. Generally speaking, when a late stage of the golden elixir faces an ordinary monster at the initial stage of the third level, although it cannot be said to be a piece of cake, it will not take too much effort.
The purple-robed man next to him is actually a mountain-devouring beast named Yan Motian, who was at the middle third stage of cultivation fifteen years ago.
The Mountain Devourer likes to eat all kinds of rocks and minerals. It evolves very slowly, but its greatest feature is its exceptionally strong defense. Generally speaking, a Mountain Devourer in the early stage of the third order, in the late stage of the Golden Core, cannot be broken by pure magic attacks without the use of magic weapons. Its attacks are also fierce and powerful, and can be described as powerful enough to move mountains and overturn rivers and seas. "
After hearing this, Li Yan was quite surprised. He did not expect that these three monsters were so powerful. He did not expect that the ancient alien species he was just thinking about in the classics would actually see a jade unicorn here.
Which immortal built this secret realm? There are ancient species even among the monsters. In ancient times, there must be more monsters here.
Having said that, Li Wuyi looked at the group of half-human, half-demon second-level monsters behind him.
“Among the second-level monsters, I know a few that are also very powerful. When the Wheel of Life and Death is fought over, it is very likely that they will participate in the battle.
Jin Chuiyan, the race is the Golden Flame Holy Lion, the peak of the second stage, the same as the human foundation-building false elixir, good at fire-related magical powers, extraordinary courage, innate magical power Nine Seas Rising, large-scale group attack fire-related immortal arts, the power has a trace of the true meaning of the Golden Core Realm Samadhi True Fire, and cultivators below the Golden Core Realm will be killed instantly when they are touched by it. "
Li Yan followed Li Wuyi's gaze and saw a burly man with a lion face and a human body over ten feet tall standing behind Yan Motian. He was tall and strong, with a golden robe fluttering in the wind. He was glancing sideways at the two sects with his hands behind his back, looking like he was dominating the world.
There were several monsters beside him, saying something to him and pointing at the human monks from time to time. He just nodded occasionally and didn't say a word.
"Wu Wuan, from the Green Crystal Centipede race, at the peak of the second stage, is good at ice-related magical powers. He is insidious and cunning by nature. His innate magical power is Ice Breeze, which is a large-scale group attack. The ice crystals contain a unique and extremely poisonous poison. If a cultivator below the Golden Core level is attacked, his body will turn into wind and disintegrate within half a minute without an antidote. His soul is frozen by the poison and cannot escape, and cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation."
It was a monster wearing a green robe, also with a human body and a beast head. It stood behind Yin Congfeng, with its collar standing up, covering its neck. It had a slender figure. When Li Yan looked over there, he actually looked over here as well.
Suddenly, he and Li Yan looked at each other. Li Yan could see clearly that his head was black, green and red, with several long whiskers curving downward on his face. His mouth was wide open to his ears, with yellow fangs exposed.
Seeing Li Yan looking at him, he actually grinned. In an instant, his face seemed to be split into two parts at the mouth. When he looked further, there was only a black throat left in his head.
Li Yan felt a little frightened when he saw it, but Li Wuyi smiled at the green crystal centipede and turned to look elsewhere.
“Yuehen Guo, his race is Moon Shadow Cat, he is at the peak of the second stage, he is good at wind-related magical powers, his innate magical powers are like shadows and flowing light, he is an extremely fast attack type, his claws are comparable to low-grade magic weapons.
The scary thing is that it carries the power of time. The life force of the person who is hit will be lost at a very fast speed. After a foundation-building cultivator is hit, his life essence will be lost in fifteen or sixteen breaths at most, and he will age to death. "
Li Yan followed Li Wuyi and looked over. It was a petite, graceful and beautiful woman in a light green long dress. Her skin was as bright as moonlight. She was really pretty and charming.
Judging from her appearance, she had already completely transformed, and only when her long sleeves occasionally fluttered would a pair of white jade arms be revealed. In front of those white wrists were not a pair of jade hands, but a pair of furry claws.
"Yan Shuichu, Holy Voice Spider, peak of the second stage..."
Li Wuyi did not pause, and introduced seven or eight monsters in one breath before he stopped talking. The ones he mentioned were at the peak of the second level, and were the most needing attention among the monsters.
Then, he turned his gaze to Taixuan Sect...
Li Yan really admired the strength of this senior brother. He must have fought with him before to be able to come up with so many detailed conclusions.
At this moment, the Jindan masters who were whispering in front suddenly stopped talking. Even the Jade Qilin who was chatting happily with Master Li Feng and whose handsome face was as brilliant as the stars in the sky stopped talking. All the Jindan masters looked up into the distance!
