In a mountain stream, Li Yan set up a formation with a gloomy face, and once again did not hesitate to consume the power of his spiritual consciousness to absorb the gray-haired old man into the "spot of earth"...
After a stick of incense, Li Yan's face in the outside world froze. In the "earth spot", the gray-haired old man who was under the palm of his phantom suddenly showed a painful expression on his face.
The next moment, a deathly aura emanated from his body, and without a sound, he died.
Li Yan was shocked and hurriedly checked the old man in black robe again. After seeing the situation inside his body, he found that the other party was already dead and could not be deader.
However, he had already obtained a lot of information from the gray-haired old man, but just now he touched the forbidden area in the other party's memory, and the old man suddenly died.
This old man is a deacon of a nearby sect, and his cultivation is in the late Nascent Soul stage.
When Li Yan received this news, he was shocked. Today he finally met face to face and experienced the horror of a soul cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
When he was in the outside world, this kind of cultivator could not cause any harm to him, but if he hadn't reacted quickly to the attack of this soul cultivator, it would have been hard to say who would have won.
After the sect to which the gray-haired old man belonged received the message a few days ago, not only did the gray-haired old man set up an ambush outside, but three elders who had reached the state of spiritual transformation were also dispatched.
This made Li Yan shudder with fear. The soul cultivators' detection method was not based on spiritual consciousness, but rather on the use of magic weapons, formations, or secret techniques to search for fluctuations in soul power in the surrounding area and detect the existence of living beings nearby.
If my soul power was not stronger than the golden elixirs I encountered a few days ago, I might have been discovered.
For this purpose, Li Yan specially searched for the relevant skills of the old man in black robe, but what made him depressed was that he only found some basic soul cultivation skills in the other party's memory.
In fact, these skills are already quite precious to cultivators from the outside world. Soul cultivation skills have always been extremely rare and can hardly be seen in the market.
The same is true for Li Yan. He came from a wild background, and he and Zhao Min slowly figured out some soul cultivation methods in the long underground alleys of the "Soul Prison Clan".
In fact, as long as Li Yan learns these basic skills, he will be rewarded handsomely. His strength will increase immediately, and he will have a real way to attack and defend with his soul power.
However, Li Yan wanted to obtain some skills to detect the fluctuations of soul power, so that he would know how to deal with it here next.
However, just as he detected a certain memory area of the other party, a long knife suddenly appeared there and chopped towards his consciousness fiercely.
If Li Yan had not had absolute suppression ability in the "Earth Spot", his consciousness would have been almost cut by that knife. Li Yan instinctively counterattacked and smashed the long knife directly.
He realized that it should be a restricted area where the other party had sealed important memories in order to prevent others from searching their souls.
Li Yan had anticipated this kind of thing. Many cultivators would do this, but it could still be cracked.
With Li Yan's ability in the "Earth Spot", he has a strong suppressive effect on others. Even Chong Yangzi's spiritual consciousness can be modified by him and no flaws can be found.
Besides, the gray-haired old man is only a Yuanying-level cultivator? The other party only has a strong soul, and his consciousness is still within the normal range of a Yuanying-level cultivator.
But at the moment when Li Yan smashed the long sword, the soul of the old man in black robe suddenly collapsed on its own, which caught Li Yan, who was searching his soul, off guard.
He didn't expect the soul cultivator's methods to be so overbearing, but he soon understood.
The soul cultivator has connected his sea of consciousness with his soul. This is a ruthless method that would rather die than let others know his secret.
As for some basic soul cultivation techniques that Li Yan obtained, they should not be the techniques practiced by the old man in black robe. They were just some other information that he knew.
Just like some of the most common entry-level skills in the Wuliang Sect, some were stolen from others, and some were created by their own disciples.
After Li Yan saw these skills, he felt that they were dispensable for a cultivator of his level and he would not carefully seal them up.
"What a pity. There are still some things that I haven't explored yet. In the future, if I encounter a memory sealed area like this, I should leave it to the end to explore. This way, I can get more information..."
Li Yan thought to himself that he had been careful enough and had avoided these areas before. But just now, after finding some soul cultivation techniques, he couldn't help but make some changes here.
It is not easy to capture a valuable person and search his soul nowadays.
This time, Li Yan finally got more detailed information about the "Earth True Realm" and confirmed that he was indeed being hunted by someone.
Li Yan quickly sorted out the information he had obtained. Although he was unable to completely search all the memories of the soul cultivator, he also obtained a lot of shocking news.
Although these news were considered "earth-shattering secrets" in Li Yan's opinion, they were not secrets to the cultivators here.
But while Li Yan was terrified, he was also filled with worries.
This is indeed a place called "Earth Realm", and it also belongs to the fairyland, and even to the "Heavenly Demon Grassland".
In the memory of the gray-haired old man, this place is considered a secret place of the "Heavenly Demon Grassland", but it should be the transformation of an ancient Heavenly Demon after its death. This monster is a kind of Heavenly Demon called "Dream Return Ant".
This celestial demon might have been a combined or even higher level terrifying existence during his lifetime, but he died for unknown reasons. His body did not decay, but turned into a piece of heaven and earth.
It may be due to the cultivation method of this celestial demon himself, or his innate supernatural powers. After his death, the five elements rules in his body were different from those in the outside world, and had undergone certain changes.
The transformation between the five elements is not smooth, but there are some barriers between them. This makes the rules of heaven here somewhat different.
However, this does not have much impact on the cultivators here. They are just cultivating their main spiritual roots and performing the techniques they have learned. Ninety percent of them are of a single attribute, so there is no problem.
However, the changes in the rules of heaven and earth still brought about a biggest problem, that is, among the cultivators here, the strongest can only cultivate to the fusion realm.
Moreover, there is only one place in the "Earth Realm" where one can break through to the fusion realm. According to the speculation of the cultivators here, this is most likely related to the celestial demon "Dream Return Ant" itself.
When this celestial demon died, he should have been in the fusion realm, or was in the state of transcending tribulation. This also limited the strength of the rules of the secret realm transformed by his original body.
At the same time, another piece of news that surprised Li Yan the most was that once you enter, even if you are a cultivator in the fusion stage, you will not be able to leave. After receiving this news, Li Yan was stunned for more than ten breaths.
The locations of the entrance and exit of the "Earth Realm" are not fixed, so the exact number cannot be counted.
This passage is usually hidden somewhere underground in the "Heavenly Demon Grassland" and will occasionally emerge once in dozens or hundreds of years.
The location where it appears may not necessarily be deep in the "Heavenly Demon Grassland", it may also be somewhere on the periphery, and no one has figured out the conditions for its appearance until now.
But as soon as it appears, it will create an illusory world and make that space restricted. Anyone who falls into it still has a chance to break out.
For example, he could break through the void, enter the turbulent space, and leave from there. Another thing is that he could rely on his strong strength to force his way out of this restricted area when he felt something was wrong.
Unfortunately, no one in the fairy world knows about these situations, because those who are weak will be sucked in here and can never get out.
As for the strong ones, when they found themselves entangled in strange restrictions, they would basically use their magical powers to break free and escape. When they went to look for it later, the restriction had disappeared.
Of course, there are also powerful cultivators or monsters here. After the inexplicable disappearance of their relatives, clansmen, or disciples, they finally found the entrance to the "Earth True Realm" after searching for a long time.
But even though they wanted to get in here in the end, and even gave up resistance, wanting to rely on their defenses to go in and check, they still failed.
This "Dream Ant" who had long since fallen must have suffered severe damage to his sea of consciousness when he died.
This caused the power of spiritual consciousness in the final rules formed here to almost dry up, making it impossible to form corresponding rules of heaven and earth, almost forming an absolute suppression of spiritual consciousness here.
Even if a cultivator in the state of fusion were here, he could only release his spiritual sense to a distance of less than five inches at most.
The "Earth Truth Realm" radiates to the outside world, and the traction channel formed by the Taoist spiritual consciousness probably only retains the strength of the Refining Void Realm.
The closer this traction entrance channel is to the monk's body, the more it will be affected by the rules of the body.
Those powerful monks who have surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm cannot be teleported in. Their bodies and consciousness are too powerful, and their flesh, blood, and bones have long since become transcendental.
The entrance restriction of "Dream Return Ant" could not withstand the powerful impact of the rules at all, and it collapsed and dissipated on its own as soon as the transmission began.
This is also the self-protection of the rules of heaven and earth, just like the reason why the lower realm repels cultivators from the upper realm.
It's just that the repulsive force of this small world is not strong, and it can't forcibly repel cultivators except those above the Fusion Realm. But he can interrupt his own teleportation power by himself.
Once the transmission traction channel collapses, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years for the small world transformed by the "Dream Ant" to create a transmission channel in the "Heavenly Demon Grassland" next time.
With the continuous operation of the internal five elements rules, this transmission channel can slowly recover, and finally communicate with the external five elements again and create the entrance and exit again.
In this way, if the entrance traction channel is intact, it will appear at any time in dozens or hundreds of years.
Once destroyed, it may not appear again until hundreds or thousands of years later.
This makes it extremely difficult for some cultivators from the outside world to find it, even if they are determined to find it. As time goes by, they will eventually lose their patience.
However, only the monks who have entered the "Dream Ant" will slowly know the whole process of these situations, but it is useless for them to know, as they cannot send this information out at all.
Therefore, these things will not appear or be recorded in some external classics.
After Li Yan searched the soul and got this information, he was silent for a long time. The thing he least wanted to see happened.
He only came out to help Dong Lin Tingyue once, and chose to do so on the outskirts of the "Heavenly Demon Grassland", but was thus drawn into a secret realm.
In the memory of the gray-haired old man, no cultivator who entered here had ever been able to leave.
Even the strongest cultivator in the fusion realm here tried his best to leave here and break through to a higher realm.
In the end, without exception, no one succeeded.
Such news made Li Yan's heart sink to the bottom in an instant, and he almost had the urge to bang his head against the wall.
Coming to the fairyland unintentionally was already depressing enough, and I hadn't had the chance to discuss many things with Gong Chenying and Zhao Min.
Although there were the two demons and the "Heart-Entangled Twins Gu" in Zhao Min's heart, they would definitely become suspicious if they couldn't find me for a long time.
If one falls into a black hole in a turbulent space, or into a space crack, those places may not be able to transmit any aura. Death is death, and it will not lead to changes in the blood covenant and other rules.
In fact, I have already made various preparations, and even thought about practicing while crossing the "Heavenly Demon Grassland" little by little.
Even if you are not strong enough, just go wherever you can!
Then stop in a certain area until your practice has improved further, and then continue moving forward.
He believed that one day he would be able to cross the river successfully. This was actually a stupid method, but it would make him get closer to his goal.
But now, he was actually dragged into this kind of hellish place, a place where even a strong man in the fusion realm could not get out.
If I can give you hope, that's fine. If you can't reach the fusion realm, then you can practice to the point of transcending the tribulation and forcibly break the restrictions here. Although I don't know when that will happen, there is still hope after all.
But in the memory of the gray-haired old man, no one here could break through to the Tribulation Realm. This was undoubtedly a big blow to Li Yan!
