Endless and foggy.
Four or five remnants of gods and demons attacked at the same time, but they were easily dispersed by Liu Yun and several other cultivators.
Along the way, Jing Yue and the others found a lot of treasures. The shiny stone at the bottom of the puddle was an extraterrestrial meteorite that was very suitable for sword making.
Of course, they also encountered several waves of remnant souls of gods and demons, at most 20 at a time, but for some reason, the strength of the remnant souls has dropped a lot.
Jing Yue was perplexed and even more vigilant in his heart, but he had not encountered any danger for several days.
When they came to a Tiankeng, they saw white plants growing at the bottom of the pit, like white snow, and the wind kept blowing up, making a creepy howl.
Jing Yue: "Those plants are said to be grown from the bones of ancient gods and demons. If you are lucky, some leaves will have patterns about ancient times."
Liu Yun: "What do you mean?"
Jing Yue: "It is estimated that some consciousness of the original owner remains in the skeleton. After the plant grows, the consciousness turns into a pattern."
In his previous life, he learned many ancient secrets from here.
After hearing what Jing Yue said, most of them were eager to try, but only a thin old man said, "Can Patriarch Jing be sure?"
Jingyue turned his head and saw that it was a cultivator of the Zixia faction who returned to the virtual world. Thinking of the changes in the secret realm, he was also a little confused, and only said: "This is what happened when Long Zu came back."
The old man smiled, somewhat disdainfully, "It's been ten thousand years."
Jingyue smiled reservedly and politely.
The old man said that, of course, he also had to enter the tiankeng.
When they were about to go down the pit, suddenly, a hand attacked Jingyue!
Jing Yue suddenly avoided, and at the same time he drew his sword and chopped it down, but the opponent grabbed his sword with one hand, making him feel the pressure of the mountains and seas.
Others also came to help, and they all saw that this remnant soul was very different from what they had just seen, and it was obviously much more solid. The remnant soul was wearing half-damaged armor, with the imprint of the Protoss on his forehead. If his eyes were still dull, everyone would almost think he was alive.
However, when they really fought against it, they found that the remnant soul was very strong, and it was enough to return to the virtual world, and it seemed that it was still in the upper realm of returning to the virtual world.
Despite this, the two fists of the remnant soul lost to the four hands, and they soon fell behind under the siege.
Then, the remnant escaped...
Everyone was stunned. The remnant souls they encountered didn't know how to avoid them at all, they only knew how to attack, but this Protoss remnant soul seemed to be still conscious
Jing Yue's heart was even more shocking. The last time he came to the secret realm, none of the remnant souls he met would escape.
Could it be that in the past 10,000 years, the remnants of gods and demons in the secret realm have gradually regained consciousness
Seeing that his expression was different, Qin Yanzhi said, "What's wrong?"
When Jingyue told the situation, Qin Yan's face also sank. If this was the case, it would be dangerous.
He looked around vigilantly, his pupils shrank suddenly, "We are surrounded!"
Everyone was shocked, but found that there were more than ten remnants of souls on all sides of the Tiankeng. Even though they had practiced for many years and encountered countless life and death crises, they could not help but feel a little hopeless when they thought that these remnants might have returned to the void.
Is it going to be wiped out
Everyone has such conjectures in their hearts.
But even so, they can only fight, only fight!
When they really fought, they found that there were only four remnant souls who had returned to the virtual cultivation base, and one of them happened to be the Protoss who had just escaped.
In terms of strength on paper, they still have the upper hand in the battle, and after all, these remnant souls have lost their intelligence, and they are not as flexible as they are, and the final outcome is still to dissipate.
The danger finally passed, and everyone let out a long sigh.
An injured Dongtian cultivator took the medicine pill and said, "What's going on? Could it be that the remnants of the Protoss just moved to rescue soldiers? Are they still conscious?"
The old man of the Zixia School said with a cold face: "This is going to ask Old Ancestor Jing. What Old Ancestor Jing said before, is it because he wants to trick us?"
Jingyue didn't like his words with a gun and a stick, but he had heard that this person was always yin and yang, so he didn't care about him, only said: "I have already said, ten thousand years, there may be changes in the secret realm, how exactly? I don't know. However, the remnant souls with low cultivation base were obviously controlled by several remnant souls who returned to the Void. I suspect that they did have some consciousness."
Liu Yun: "The number of remnant souls in this space is immeasurable, and the Void Return is far better than me, so what should we do?"
Hongluan: "It's useless for us to guess here, only one step counts."
The old man: "Humph!"
Qin Yanzhi glanced at the old man coldly, and was about to speak, when he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned to other people, and finally fell on Jingyue.
"Ajing, why do you have white hair?"
Jing Yue was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed a handful of hair and glanced at it. His long hair as black as brocade was indeed mixed with strands of silver.
He raised his head and stared blankly at Qin Yanzhi. Yu Guang noticed Hongluan beside Qin Yanzhi and hesitantly said, "Ancestor Hongluan, you... you seem to be haggard?"
What he really wanted to say was that many fine lines appeared on Hongluan's face at some point.
Hongluan instinctively raised her hand to touch her face, and suddenly felt that her skin and flesh were loosened a lot, and she was in a state of surprise, and then heard Jingyue say, "Liuyun, you seem to be a little younger."
Liu Yun: "… "
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, the details that you didn't notice before, but at this moment, you can see that most of them have changed.
Time seems to have left different traces on them, either backwards or forwards.
Jing Yue suddenly had a conjecture, is the change in the secret realm due to different time? Time goes forward in some places, and time goes backward in some places. If people and remnants are in it, there will be two changes.
It's like a puddle of water with two colors, red and blue. Red represents advancing, and blue represents retreat. Those infected with red will grow old, and those infected with blue will become younger. The same is true for the remnant soul. The faster the flow of time, the closer the remnant soul will die, so its strength will degrade; conversely, as time goes back, the power of the remnant soul will gradually recover, and even a little consciousness will emerge.
They had changed so obviously in just a few days after coming here, but the remnant souls have been floating here for thousands of years.
At this time, Jingyue heard Lan Feng say to him in consciousness, "Jingjing! Jiji knows!"
The space jade pendant refined by Jingyue is not like the Sumeru Ring. Although Lan Feng is inside, he can still perceive the outside world.
"This is the Star Extinguishing Formation! The flow of time in the formation is different. It may be a year for one step forward, and ten years for the next step. This type of formation is born naturally from heaven and earth, and people cannot control it. In the formation, even the stars can perish."
Jing Yue: "Star Extermination Formation? What is it?"
The rare and reliable Lan Feng can't explain the reason, it can only say "half knowledge and half ability": "Anyway, anyway, it's a very powerful formation!"
Jing Yue suddenly thought, "Jiji, if you come out, will this place speed up your growth? Is what you sensed just the time here?"
Lan Feng: "Although Jiji doesn't know what that important thing is, it's definitely not the time. The time in each place is different, and Jiji can't tell the difference. , is about to become an egg, Jiji doesn't want to be an egg, and Jiji would rather not want that thing, and don't want Jingjing to become older than Xiaoye! Jingjing, let's leave!"
Jingyue: "..."
Jing Yue hesitated a bit. Although they had a heavy responsibility here, they didn't know what kind of changes had occurred in the secret realm before. Facing the current situation, it is very likely that they would perish before they knew it.
Also, that scene won't be long.
After hesitating for a moment, he relayed Lan Feng's words to everyone, and then said: "The Cold Cloud Sect has some brief records, but the specific principles are not clear. I also see that this situation is quite similar to the Star Extinguishing Array, so I have this guess. ."
Liu Yun knew very well that Jing Yue was lying, but he was good at cooperating with Yi Ye. At this time, he was very attentive and said, "So that's the case. When the ancestor mentioned it, I also remembered it. It's really similar!"
Jingyue: "..."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, Jing Yue's previous worries also made everyone anxious, and everyone looked at each other, at a loss.
Jing Yue: "I want to ask for your opinion, should I go or stay?"
As soon as the voice fell, the old man of the Zixia School immediately said: "Of course, go! As you said before, if you want to find a way to deal with the devil, you have to enter the core of the secret realm, but just the battlefield of gods and devils doesn't know when it will end. Delay, I'm afraid everyone will die!"
Another person echoed: "If we sacrifice here in vain, the right path will not be able to withstand such a loss."
However, Hongluan said: "We have spent a lot of energy to come here, and there is only one chance. If we leave like this, wouldn't it be a pity? Even if we leave at this time, the right way preserves our strength, but we will still be helpless when the devil comes into the world. What's the use? Besides, since Biyun Bell is considered to be alive here, there may not be a turning point."
Several people agreed with her words, and the scene became stalemate for a while.
Seeing this, Jing Yue suggested: "Otherwise, we will stay for another ten days. After ten days, whether there is any gain or not, we must leave the secret realm."
Everyone thought, ten days should not let them run out of life, maybe there will be a turning point in ten days? So they all agreed.
After making a decision, Jingyue sighed and said to Qin Yanzhi with joy: "My body was originally hundreds of years younger than yours, but now, maybe when we leave, I can be your grandfather. already."
He was reborn, his real age was more than 10,000 years old, but his physical body was young, and Qin Yanzhi was a real new born even though he had forgotten his reincarnation.
But after this encounter, maybe he had to answer Lei Jing's words "pear flower" and "begonia" from heart to body.
Qin Yanzhi was stunned for a while, and said, "That's not bad, I'll accompany you to grow old."
Jingyue: "..."
Here again...
