Soon, Li Yan confirmed his true identity because he had spiritual awareness, which was something that ordinary people did not possess.
"But Qingshanai, Aying, Xiaogong, Xiaomeng, Dong Lingmin..." Familiar figures and names flashed through his mind, so real, not like a dream at all.
After being in a daze for a long time, Li Yan finally let out a long sigh. Whether he wanted to believe it or not, it was all a dream.
But this dream was completely different from ordinary dreams. When he woke up from an ordinary dream, he would not take it to heart at all, but the dream just now was like he had experienced a lifetime.
"The separation of life and death is both real and false, just a dream, and the dust has settled!" After thinking for a while, since the real dream left Li Yan puzzled, he stopped thinking about it.
But when he remembered himself as a marshal in his dream, a sense of heroism rose from his chest, because he still wanted to see the person he wanted to see, just like rushing back from "Luoxianpo" at all costs.
In the dark passage, a skinny figure walked forward again. The waves of heat were the same as before, but they seemed to ignite the oil fire in his heart.
Day after day passed, and years passed without anyone noticing. One day, Li Yan, who was crawling, vaguely felt as if a ray of light appeared in front of him, which made Li Yan stop.
He took a deep breath. This hallucination would appear every once in a while. He needed to work hard to calm himself down before the hallucinations would disappear.
Li Yan closed his eyes. Actually, here, there was no difference between opening his eyes and closing them. The key was still to rely on his spiritual sense. But opening his eyes would make it less likely for him to fall asleep.
After a moment, Li Yan opened his eyes again and looked up. This shocked him, because through the gaps in the drifting black smoke, there was indeed a ray of light that appeared and disappeared.
Li Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and this time he sent a wisp of spiritual consciousness forward again. After a long while, a long-lost smile appeared on Li Yan's face.
"This is really not an illusion!" After he withdrew his spiritual consciousness, the spiritual power in his body began to circulate at a speed several times faster than before. He did not intend to speed up, but to activate a spiritual power shield all over his body. This action would undoubtedly consume a large amount of spiritual power, but the more hope there was, the more careful Li Yan became.
A dry palm appeared at the edge of the cave, and then with the black spiritual power flashing on the palm, it had already grabbed the wall of the cave. With the five fingers suddenly pressing hard on the wall beside the cave, a figure shot out like an arrow.
This is a secret room filled with golden light, about twenty meters in size. There is nothing inside the room, only a tightly closed stone door in front, and the surroundings are still hot.
After the figure came out, the black passage on the wall behind him flashed and then disappeared.
This is a tall and thin man in a black robe. He has one hand raised above his head while the other one hangs down to his leg. The protective light shield on his body is shining brightly.
The figure first turned around quickly in this strange posture, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find any attack coming. Then he slowly put his hands together in front of his chest, one up and one down, in a somewhat stiff manner.
As he withdrew his hands, there was a continuous "crackling" sound from the joints. At the same time, the man in black robe slowly began to shake his body and legs, and more sounds like frying beans came from him.
Then he began to do the stretching movements at an even slower pace. He did it extremely slowly, so slowly that half an incense stick of time had passed by the time he finished a set of movements.
This person was undoubtedly Li Yan. After seeing the light in the dark passage, it took him more than a day to finally escape.
Feeling the unfettered freedom, Li Yan actually walked quickly here with a loud laugh. It was not until a long time later that he slowly stopped and then let out a long breath.
Li Yan looked around again through the gaps in his long hair that fell on his forehead, and then his gaze fell on himself. The black robe on his body was still torn. This black robe was comparable to a low-grade spiritual weapon, but it was still damaged.
Then, the black robe on his body exploded with a "bang", and a wave of air spread out from the black-robed man, creating a heat wave that was almost visible to the naked eye. The surrounding area was distorted by vibrations. First, the storage bag on his waist floated in the air, and then the black robe on his body suddenly turned into pieces of black butterflies.
Afterwards, when Li Yan was about to take out new clothes from the storage bag, his eyes froze again.
He looked down and saw a skeleton wrapped in dry skin. Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his arms that seemed to be dried by the wind and looked at it again and again, then touched his face. It was still skinny and bony, with two high cheekbones.
Li Yan, who was originally thinking of casting a spell to conjure up a bronze mirror, immediately gave up the idea. He knew what he looked like without even looking at it. After casting the "Yunyu Jutsu" to simply wash himself, Li Yan quickly took out a new black robe and put it on. He simply tied his long hair behind his head, and then he felt much better. At least his skin was not so dry, but his spirits did not recover much.
Li Yan first walked to the door, and after feeling it with his spiritual sense, he quickly confirmed that this was a one-way door, which means that the door can only be opened from the inside and cannot be opened from the outside. The reason is very simple. There is a formation restriction on the door, which is the kind of one-way restriction formation that Li Yan is familiar with.
After confirming the restrictions on the door, a smile appeared on Li Yan's dry face. When he first entered here, he felt the extremely rich fire aura. The fire aura here is almost comparable to the secret realm and secret room where Pingtu is located.
Therefore, Li Yan immediately thought that this should be the real internal location of the "Huoyan Palace", which is the dreamland of fire cultivators.
It may be a bit exaggerated to say that one can make rapid progress in practicing fire-related skills here, but one day of practice is definitely equivalent to more than a month of hard practice in the outside world. However, this only applies to fire-related practitioners and has little effect on other practitioners.
But Li Yan didn't think so. He actually felt that the black and golden channels were an important reason why the monks came here to break through. Otherwise, the "Huoyan Palace" was too targeted at fire monks.
However, the fire spiritual energy in this secret room, which is almost materialized, is specially prepared for fire monks.
Li Yan couldn't help but admire the meticulous thought of the great master who designed the "Fire Palace". When the cultivators experienced life and death and passed through the black and yellow channels to arrive here, both their spiritual power and physical body had reached the extreme. At this time, they were suddenly thrown into a place with rich spiritual energy. That kind of practice could transform a person.
But it was obvious that only fire cultivators could obtain the greatest blessing here, but this was no problem for Li Yan. After confirming the situation here, Li Yan opened his mouth and waved, and a small purple flag was spit out by him. With a spin, the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" in the secret room was immediately set up. At the same time, a purple light flashed, and a purple dragon flew out.
As soon as the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant flew out, it had a face full of resentment and was about to complain to Li Yan. Li Yan had left it there for more than a year this time and had not paid any attention to it at all. No matter how it tried to communicate, the other party did not respond at all. In the end, it had to give up the idea, which made the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant angry.
But when it saw Li Yan's appearance, it was startled and took a step back. Its soul power surged all over its body, and it looked alert. After a while, it looked at Li Yan with a puzzled look, and then asked uncertainly, "Master...? How did you become like this, neither human nor ghost?"
Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, but still briefly told the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant what happened. However, he omitted the process in the black channel and only said that the black channel severely suppressed the consciousness and soul, so it was not released.
In fact, Li Yan didn't know that if he really released the Purple Dragon Elephant, the black channel would not be so peaceful. No matter in the black channel or the golden channel, only one life form could appear at the same time.
However, if other life forms were released from within, it would not be as simple as expelling him. Instead, the difficulty would increase exponentially. He would probably let the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant be trapped like him. Not only would it not be able to help him, it would be possible that both the man and the beast would perish.
After listening to Li Yan's narration and looking at Li Yan's miserable appearance, even the Purple Dragon Elephant, with its unruly character, couldn't help but shudder, but soon it was attracted by the rich and fiery fire aura here, and no longer paid any attention to Li Yan, but directly found a corner, lay down on the spot, and started to breathe in and out. The aura here was much better than magma.
Li Yan would not care about it and sat cross-legged on the spot. With the operation of Guishui Sutra, he had transformed the spiritual power in his body into mainly fire spiritual power and slowly entered a state of meditation. Although he came here for the Red Mother Essence, this kind of cultivation environment is definitely not to be missed.
Time flies, and when the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant opened its eyes, more than a month had passed. At this time, the purple light on its body had turned into dark purple, and the lines on its skin were clearly visible to the naked eye. Even if ordinary cultivators used their spiritual sense to check, they might not be able to sense that this was a soul body. Its body was like that of a child about ten years old.
The Purple Divine Dragon Elephant stretched lazily with contentment. The fire spiritual power here actually allowed its grade to rise again. Now it was already in the middle stage of the second grade. It glanced at Li Yan who was not far away, and then a strange color appeared in its eyes.
At this time, Li Yan's skin was no longer dry, and as the air circulated over this period of time, his muscles had begun to recover. Although he still looked skinny, at least he looked like a human being now.
"Look at the spiritual power surging in his body. This is a sign of a breakthrough." The Purple Divine Dragon Elephant couldn't help but become curious for a moment. It was shocked by the powerful body-building technique of Li Yan.
However, Li Yan had never used any magic during the time he practiced with it. But it knew that any technique that could support such a terrifying body-building technique to be practiced repeatedly throughout the day must be the most advanced technique in the world.
When I woke up today and saw Li Yan's spiritual power fluctuating, I wanted to see the scene when Li Yan broke through.
Just like this, the Purple Dragon Elephant stared at Li Yan with its big eyes without blinking. Gradually, it became confused, because the spiritual power in Li Yan's body seemed to be boiling, but there was no sign of breaking through.
"Why is this situation different from other breakthroughs? With spiritual energy circulating at such a high speed, if it is just cultivation, aren't you afraid of damaging your tendons and veins?"
In fact, how could it know that Li Yan was circulating his spiritual power in this way? The five elements of spiritual power in his body were being rapidly converted and balanced, so as to maintain the harmony of yin and yang of the five elements. The spiritual power was circulating very quickly because the fire spiritual power here was too strong.
