Hearing this, these disciples all nodded to indicate their understanding, and then continued to follow Jian Wuxin and the two elders deep into the canyon, and came to the bottom of a mountain peak. There was an entrance there, but it was obviously dug manually, but there was not much. The traces of decorative changes seem to be natural.
"I've seen the headmaster. Did the headmaster bring these kids in to practice?"
At this moment, a smiling voice suddenly appeared at the entrance. Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they noticed that there were two more figures there.
One was wearing black elder clothes, with silver-white hair, and a dry skin. His temperament was somewhat similar to that of Yuan Nian from the Cheng family not long ago.
The other one was a chubby middle-aged man with a cynical attitude and a smile on his round face. It was this man who spoke, who looked familiar to Jian Wuxin.
Zhao Jiuge couldn't tell the cultivation level of the two of them, but this secret place was obviously an important place, and naturally there would be some elders with advanced cultivation to guard it. Moreover, Zhao Jiuge heard that ordinary people were not allowed to enter such important places at will. If you want to enter, you must have orders from the top, and the entire Xuantian Sword Sect with this kind of authority can be counted on one hand.
After all, the entire Xuantian Sword Sect is too powerful, just like a towering tree, and there are too many people with advanced cultivation in the sect. It is inevitable that there will be some senior elders with high authority who will use their connections to let their juniors or disciples There are only so many resources to practice in there, and they can only be given to those who are outstanding, so we have to use this method to put an end to things that are selfish and bend the law.
The two elders in front of them are not only guarding the secret place here, but also blocking some guys from the sect who have not been allowed to enter. They are not the only ones guarding here. They secretly include many or There are still some people.
"Yes, the sect martial arts competition is approaching soon, so I brought these little guys here to give it a try, just to see if they can improve their cultivation level."
Jian Wuxin smiled easily. The guy in front of him was still a disciple of the same generation as him. However, he likes to be quiet by nature, so he stays in the sect and doesn't like to go out. He only studies and practices.
"Then you go in quickly. If you lead the team yourself, I won't accompany you. You are more familiar with the roads than me."
The chubby middle-aged man nodded and did not reminisce too much about the past with Jian Wuxin. After all, business was important. However, while talking, a pair of eyes kept looking at Zhao Jiuge. It was obvious that he also knew that Zhao Jiuge was Jian Wuxin's apprentice. Take this opportunity to take a good look.
"Hehe, each of your apprentices is getting better than the last. It seems that I have to find time to accept an apprentice and inherit my mantle."
After observing Zhao Jiuge for a moment, the chubby middle-aged man said with a smile, shaking his head, and the praise in his mouth made Zhao Jiuge feel a little shy and embarrassed.
"You are too lazy to die, so you should find something to do. I'll go in first, so you have to hurry up. When you have time, you can go to Xuantian Palace to talk to me about old times."
Jian Wuxin smiled and cursed helplessly, and then when he saw the chubby middle-aged man nodding, he immediately led a group of people into the mountain.
Entering the mountain peak, it was dark, and only the general outline could be seen clearly. Zhao Jiuge just observed secretly, but he could feel that he should have been walking towards the bottom of the mountain peak, or even underground.
Remembering Jian Wuxin's previous words, no one made a sound and seemed relatively quiet. However, what made Zhao Jiuge a little strange was that usually when entering such a place, it is relatively humid, but at this moment, Zhao Jiuge felt There is some heat, and this feeling becomes more and more obvious the deeper you go.
After walking for about half an hour, I could clearly feel a kind of heat. Not only Zhao Jiuge, but also other disciples could clearly feel this obvious discovery. On the way, Zhao Jiuge even felt two obscure auras. , seeing Jian Wuxin and the two elders' silent expressions, Zhao Jiuge guessed that they were the ones guarding the secret place.
Not long after, after passing through the dark area in front of them, they suddenly found a piece of light at the corner, with a slight red halo. The disciples couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and it seemed that the surrounding environment had become much clearer.
After turning the corner, their eyes suddenly became much brighter, and then everyone discovered that the place they were now was under the mountain peak, in the middle of the mountain. Everyone was exposing themselves to the outside, and the scene in front of them was a fire.
Opposite is also a brown-grey mountain. There is an exposed entrance at the belly of the mountain. Connecting the two sides is an iron bridge. The entire body of the iron bridge is made of black iron. It is extremely hard. It is said to be a bridge, but it is made of dozens of iron bridges. It was made of chains made of black iron, but it looked a bit scary because it was shaky.
When they saw the whole place below, the disciples couldn't help but change their expressions. There was actually a river composed of magma below, which was still flowing slowly. They could only see an orange-red color. It was not clear what it was.
Only at this moment did Zhao Jiuge feel a little relieved. No wonder he felt that the temperature continued to rise all the time. However, the reason why his face changed color was because the temperature of the unknown magma was so terrifying. Even from such a distance, it made him feel uncomfortable. His skin stung a little, and he didn't know what would happen if the magma really came into contact with his skin.
Jian Wuxin and the two elders were the first to step on the swaying iron bridge, and the other disciples followed. When they stepped on the iron bridge, many people couldn't help but look at the magma below, and they naturally felt the hot temperature. , for fear that he would fall. In that case, it would be particularly painful to die.
After crossing the iron bridge, we entered the darkness at the heart of the mountain again, but this time we saw the light again not long after, and the light was still orange-red.
Walking out of the darkness, Zhao Jiuge saw a wide square. There were some stone towers at intervals on the square. The square seemed to be suspended above magma. Although the square was quite large, it seemed to be surrounded by endless magma. Zhao Jiuge I guessed in my heart that this might have reached the center of the earth.
There are also platforms in twos and threes around the square, which are also suspended in the magma. However, these platforms are not large, as if they are just for people to stay. Zhao Jiuge discovered that these platforms are scattered around the entire square, but the distance is not very far. He knows this This place should be today's destination, and when seeing this place, the most mysterious thing is the magma. Zhao Jiuge thought that the secret place for this trip, and the secret place that needs to be obtained, are probably related to this mysterious magma.
Zhao Jiuge discovered that there were twenty or thirty figures in these squares. It seemed that they were not only practicing here, but also people had arrived. Under a certain stone tower in the middle of the square, two skinny old men were sitting cross-legged, both wearing elder clothes. Wearing clothes, we knew without even thinking that these two elders were waiting here, but Jian Wuxin obviously had no intention of going up to talk.
The most important thing is that Zhao Jiuge discovered that on the platforms around the square, there were actually two or three figures sitting cross-legged and practicing on them. The entire platform was only two or three meters away, which was just enough for one person to practice.
As for the other twenty or thirty people in the square, after seeing so many people appearing all at once, they had different expressions, some were curious and confused, and some looked unhappy. After all, this place is not a place where ordinary people can come to practice.
"Headmaster, why are you so excited? You brought so many people here all at once, and there are so many spiritual elixir realms. Is it possible that anyone can come in now?"
At this moment, seeing the scene in front of him, a handsome middle-aged man said with a smile in the square, but his words seemed a little dissatisfied.
The middle-aged man was not wearing a sword robe, but was just casually wearing a white shirt, but he had an extraordinary temperament, a strong aura, and seemed to have extraordinary strength. Zhao Jiuge didn't know this man, but he knew he must be an elder.
Next to him stood a dark-skinned young man wearing an ordinary black sword robe. The young man had a serious look and was a little thin. His eyes were particularly bright, but his skin was too dark.
The handsome middle-aged man has jade-like skin and is indeed somewhat handsome. His brows are full of pride. Although he looks good, his words are not very flattering. After these words came out, many disciples frowned slightly. Obviously there is a grudge.
Although they already know that this secret place requires at least the Nascent Soul realm, they are very happy that the headmaster can bring them to seek an opportunity, but they did not expect this man to be so annoying. After all, this secret place does not belong to him. Everyone has a share, and he is afraid that others will come here to practice, which will deprive him of his resources, and he can stay here, so why should he dislike them because they are so crowded and noisy, and others have not said anything.
"Oh, the sect martial arts competition is coming soon. I brought them here to see if they can improve their strength. For the sake of the sect's honor, there is nothing wrong with coming here to try the opportunity. Besides, there are still seven or eight people in this session. A disciple who has cultivated in the infant realm is already very good."
Jian Wuxin was expressionless and said calmly. He was obviously not interested in this middle-aged man, so he was not polite and directly said that he was the one who brought the person. Although it was not in line with the usual rules, who Let him be the leader, not to mention that the Supreme Elder personally ordered this matter.
The name of this handsome man is Huang Shenjian. His strength is among the best among the elders, and he is very promising to improve, so he has always been a bit arrogant. As for the dark-skinned young man next to him, Jian Wuxin has met him once, and he should be Huang Shenjian's apprentice. , it is naturally impossible for Huang Shenjian to practice here, he must have brought his apprentice here. Since he can come here, it means that his apprentice's qualifications are not bad, otherwise he would not be qualified to enter here.
Jian Wuxin silently thought that he might have managed to get a quota to enter here when his apprentice encountered a bottleneck. Now he saw a group of inner disciples coming in, including disciples in the spiritual elixir realm, so it was a bit unbalanced. Jian Wuxin could even see at a glance that swarthy young man's cultivation level, which was at the late stage of Nascent Soul realm!
