There is another world under the sea.
The Sea Bone Pit was originally an earth vein, with majestic earth energy flowing all year round. Now most of the earth energy has been cut off, and a small amount is still filled in the tunnel, preventing seawater from pouring in. People walking inside can feel the pressure of the earth energy. Of course, this pressure no longer poses a threat to cultivators above the Qi Refining Realm.
The underground path has main paths and branch paths. The big one is as wide as a palace, and the small one can only accommodate one or two people. Because of the erosion of the earth's energy, the walls of the path are all reddish rocks. Many green plants grow in the cracks of the rocks. They are short in stature. These are not ordinary plants. Most of them are spiritual trees and demon vines, and there are many spiritual medicines among them.
Gu Pinglin had never been into the sea bone pit. He had speculated about it before, but when he saw the scene with his own eyes, it was roughly the same as he had imagined, so it was not that strange.
Qi Wan'er was shocked and exclaimed: "What a blessed place under the sea!"
"The spiritual energy is abundant, it is worthy of being the secret realm chosen by the ancestor," Xin Ji praised twice, but he had other plans in mind, and said to Gu Pinglin, "Too many people came here, even if there are good herbs outside, they have already been taken away, why not look for them deeper."
Gu Pinglin did not respond and turned to look at the boy next to him.
The boy with the green headband was looking around in amazement, his face full of excitement: "Oh, this place is really interesting!"
Seeing that Gu Pinglin was interested, Xin Ji stepped forward, stroking his beard, and asked kindly, "What is your name, young friend?"
"Ah?" The green-haired boy's eyes widened when he was suddenly approached. "Are you asking me?"
"Of course." Xin Ji thought to himself, this kid is a little stupid.
The young man said "Oh" and said happily: "My name is Cheng Yi. Are you also here to look for the sword manual?"
Xin Ji looked at the green sword on his back and said, "So you are a master of swordsmanship."
Cheng Yi was embarrassed and blushed: "I'm not an expert." Then he looked at him excitedly, "Do you know how to use a sword?"
Xin Ji acted like a senior and said with a smile, "I only know a little bit, a little bit."
"You know a thing or two," Cheng Yi said with a disappointed look on his face, losing interest in him. "Then I'm leaving."
Xin Ji was dumbfounded, and his beard stood on end with anger.
I was just being modest, you damn thing took it seriously!
Qi Wan'er had long doubted Xin Ji's swordsmanship. Seeing that he had hit a snag in his pretense, she was immediately very happy. She suppressed her laughter and shouted, "My dear brother, if you want to learn swordsmanship, you have found the right person."
Cheng Yi was surprised and turned around: "Can you?"
With Yao Feng's example, Qi Wan'er didn't dare to judge people by appearance anymore. She bowed and asked, "I am Beiqi Thirteen. I wonder who your master is?"
Cheng Yi was discouraged, with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong with you all? We are clearly talking about swordsmanship, why are you asking about the master, the sect, and the practice?"
This is really a casual cultivator without any sect or school. Qi Wan'er was stunned for a moment and said, "The big sects and aristocratic families are famous all over the world, and their swordsmanship must be unique. It will be more beneficial to learn from them."
"Is that so..." Cheng Yi understood, "Are you from a big sect?"
After the introduction, who knew that the other party didn't know the Qi family at all. Qi Wan'er's eyebrows twitched. She saw that he was ignorant of worldly affairs, so she endured it and didn't care. Her tone was much lighter: "Even if the Northern Qi family is not big, it still has a place among the aristocratic families in the cultivation world." The words were subtle, but inevitably a bit arrogant.
"It's not that big," Cheng Yi lost interest again and waved his hand, "Then you play by yourself." Then he turned and left.
"You you..." Qi Wan'er reacted and almost vomited blood.
The young man from an aristocratic family was proud of his status and should be polite and humble when introducing his family. However, Cheng Yi actually took such polite words seriously and let him "have fun by himself".
"This boy is really honest." Xin Ji laughed.
"You ignorant wild boy." Qi Wan'er kept her composure and snorted.
Gu Pinglin stopped the two of them: "Let's go."
The further the three walked, the more forks in the road there were, there were tens of millions of them, large and small, crisscrossing and connecting with each other, just like the blood vessels in the human body. The ground was also undulating, with strange rocks everywhere, and occasionally there were small hills rising from the ground, and gullies crisscrossing, which were very suitable for hiding.
Places with abundant earth energy are most likely to breed high-level beasts. In addition, there were all kinds of people coming here, so the three of them understood the reason and did not disperse. Gu Pinglin randomly picked a fork in the road, and the three of them walked lightly. There was no trouble on the first day. Occasionally, they met fellow travelers at the intersection, and both sides tacitly avoided them. Everyone came to find the inheritance, and there was no need to start a war at this juncture. During this period, Qi Wan'er and Xin Ji asked about the search for medicine, but Gu Pinglin perfunctorily answered them.
On the second day, there was finally movement ahead.
"Such a strong evil aura!" Qi Wan'er stopped and asked cautiously, "Is it a ferocious beast?"
Gu Pinglin also sensed it: "Go and take a look."
“It’s better not to meddle in other people’s business…” Xin Ji stopped talking before he finished.
More than a dozen monks were running towards them, several of them were injured, their clothes were soaked with blood. In mid-air, a black shadow flashed through the crowd like lightning, and a few screams were heard, and someone was carried into the air by the black shadow.
After a while, a dried corpse fell in front of the three people.
An invisible barrier enveloped the monks, preventing them from performing any escape techniques. Seeing that they had nowhere to run, someone shouted “fight to the death” and everyone gathered around the shadow, fighting desperately with it. The scene was quite heroic.
Qi Wan'er looked up at the black shadow and was horrified: "What kind of monster is this?"
Gu Pinglin looked down at the corpse on the ground and said casually, "It's a sacrificial bat."
Xin Ji asked hurriedly, "What is bat sacrifice?"
"It's actually a sacrificial bat," Qi Wan'er gasped. "Legend has it that sacrificial bats are high-level vicious beasts that suck the vitality of living people. This place has abundant earth energy, no wonder there is... Oh no, let's go!"
"We can't leave," Gu Pinglin shook his head, "We are already inside its barrier. Once we touch the barrier, it will immediately notice it."
As he was speaking, two more mummies fell from the sky.
Qi Wan'er gritted her teeth and said, "In that case, let's go too."
"These people are all independent cultivators, their magic is too weak, and we three can't defeat them," Xin Ji sighed repeatedly, "What do you think, Master Gu?"
Gu Pinglin remained silent.
Seeing that he had no idea, Qi Wan'er could not help but said, "How do we know if we don't fight? Once it kills all those people, we will be dead. If we don't fight now, when will we fight?" He decisively summoned the Jade Emperor Sword and started with the "Eight Hundred Princes Paying Homage to Lingshan". The majestic sword energy rolled into a golden airflow two or three feet wide in the air and slashed towards the sacrificial bat not far away!
Hit by the sword energy, the sacrificial bat flipped over in mid-air, threw away the monk, and pounced towards Qi Wan'er.
The monk escaped death and sat on the ground trembling.
"Everyone, come on!" Qi Wan'er shouted, and blocked the attack of the sacrificial bat with another sword. However, his cultivation was still shallow, so how could he defeat a high-level beast? The bat's wings raised a strong wind, and Qi Wan'er was accidentally caught in it. He felt the true energy in his dantian surging, and he hurriedly dodged, not daring to confront the sacrificial bat head-on again.
The sacrificial bat changed its target of attack, and those wandering cultivators had a chance to catch their breath. They actually retreated and were unwilling to fight forward again.
Qi Wan'er went out alone for training for the first time and didn't know human nature. When she saw the bat priest alone, she felt something was wrong and cursed: "Damn it! A bunch of short-sighted people!"
At this moment, the sacrificial bat suddenly rolled several times in the air and was on the verge of falling, as if it had been attacked.
"Hmm? This sword energy..." Gu Pinglin was the first to notice the abnormality.
This was a kind of sword energy that had never been seen before. It was light and swift, and there was no sound when it was released. It was difficult for others to detect it. It was difficult to describe it except as "weird".
"It's you!" The newcomer shouted happily to Qi Wan'er, unaware that he had entered the bat sacrifice barrier and was in danger.
Cheng Yi? Qi Wan'er was also surprised.
"Your swordsmanship is pretty good!" Cheng Yi's face was full of excitement.
Qi Wan'er couldn't help but smile when she was praised, and said politely, "Brother Cheng, you are too kind."
"Really?" Cheng Yi nodded repeatedly, his big round eyes sparkling. "You are almost as good as me."
Almost the same as you? Qi Wan'er almost choked, her handsome face twisted a little.
"Come on, let's have a competition." Cheng Yi casually struck the sacrificial bat with a sword.
This time he attacked in public, and the trajectory of his sword energy was more obvious. He looked like he was at most an external elixir cultivator, and it was impossible for him to stop the sacrificial bat. Seeing that he was about to suffer, Qi Wan'er was about to help him, but the sacrificial bat unexpectedly changed direction halfway, as if it was very afraid of this sword energy.
Cheng Yi was also surprised: "Oh, this evil creature didn't hide when he saw me. It's hard to deal with him."
Seeing the reaction of the bat priest, Qi Wan'er was secretly suspicious. She put away her contempt and tried to ask, "I wonder which senior Brother Cheng learned swordsmanship from?"
"I didn't learn it from anyone." Cheng Yi said.
The sacrificial bat swooped down again. This time, it probably understood Cheng Yi's strength, so it didn't hide anymore. It spit out a wind blade from its mouth, opened up the sword energy, and then bit Cheng Yi's shoulder with lightning speed. Fortunately, Qi Wan'er was prepared. The Jade Emperor Sword broke through the ground and hit the sacrificial bat's abdomen. The sacrificial bat then let go of Cheng Yi and spit out a wind blade towards Qi Wan'er.
Cheng Yi took a few steps back, surprised: "This evil creature is worth more than a fairy.

"This is a ferocious beast, why don't you get out of the way!" Qi Wan'er shouted hurriedly, avoiding the wind blade.
Cheng Yi said "Oh" and said sensibly: "We can't beat it, so let's just run away."
He turned around and tried to run, but ran into the barrier head-on. The sacrificial bat was startled and turned over and spit out several wind blades at him.
"Oh no, I can't run away!" Cheng Yi resisted in a hurry. His sword made no sound, as if it was born for hunting. Xin Ji was a demon in his previous life and he thought long-term. Knowing that he couldn't escape, he went to help. The three of them cooperated and managed to restrain the sacrificial bat for a while, but they were also struggling and could not hold on for long.
The group of independent cultivators all wanted to break through the barrier and escape, but they were afraid of alerting the sacrificial bats, so they were ready to make a move nearby.
Gu Pinglin walked over.
All the independent cultivators looked at him warily.
Gu Pinglin looked at them and said, "It's impossible to break through the barrier and escape. If you listen to my instructions, it won't be difficult to kill it."
The situation was not good. All the scattered cultivators began to waver after hearing this. Someone asked in surprise, "Really?"
“Don’t listen to him,” a casual cultivator sneered and stopped everyone, “This thing must be a high-level ferocious beast. There is no way we can defeat it with so many people. He is trying to coax us into fighting so that he can escape…” Before he could finish his words, several balls of blood mist exploded in front of his chest and he was pierced by several sword energies.
This man was also an outer alchemy cultivator, and was very influential among the cultivators. However, he was no match for Gu Pinglin's move at this moment. The other cultivators saw him fall to the ground and die, and they all retreated in horror.
Gu Pinglin stopped.
This person is good at instigating and holding a grudge. Keeping him here will only make things worse. Since he will die in the sea bone pit sooner or later, it is better to kill him now and save trouble.
"what are you up to!"
“Why kill people!”
The scattered cultivators questioned him in a stern but cowardly manner.
These scattered cultivators are just a temporary gathering, and they can't make a difference. No one will stand up for the death of others. It's a waste of time to deal with them. Suppressing them with strength is the most direct and effective way. Gu Pinglin looked solemn and said sternly: "This is a high-level beast bat sacrifice. The three of them can't hold on for long. According to my plan, there is still a way to survive. If they hesitate any longer, everyone will die. I just don't want everyone to lose their lives because of him. Who has any objection?"
The scattered cultivators were shocked and looked at each other, and their attitudes softened.
"Who knows if you are using us to kill us?" someone asked boldly in a low voice.
"I have a sword formation. You will know the truth after trying it," Gu Pinglin said. "If you die, I will also die. Now we should work together to save ourselves. However, if anyone insists on dying--" Gu Pinglin paused and did not say anything else. Instead, he smiled slightly and softened his tone. "If no one has any objections, let's form the formation."
The scattered cultivators looked at each other and acted as they were told. Even if some were reluctant, they did not dare to openly object.
Gu Pinglin originally entered the sword art through formations, and he is proficient in formations. This formation is called "Shadow Breaking and Heaven Opening Formation", which combines the advantages of ten sword formations. There is no limit to the number of people in the formation. The more people in the formation, the better. With every five people added, the power will be multiplied. It was originally created in the previous life to deal with Duan Qingming. It took its initial form at that time, and now Gu Pinglin has perfected the formation.
The coordination of the Kaitian formation was not easy. Everyone barely formed the formation, and the power was immediately revealed. The bat sacrifice was suppressed by the sword formation. The scattered cultivators were surprised and happy. Knowing that they were not deceived, they worked harder. Qi Wan'er and Cheng Yi were both masters of swordsmanship. How could they miss the good opportunity to attack? They showed their skills and used all their strength.
Severely injured, the sacrificial bat struggled frantically, and the pressure on those guarding the formation doubled, but they also knew that only by defending the sword formation could they survive, and no one dared to relax.
"hold onto!"
"careful!"
At the critical moment, a dazzling purple light lit up from the formation, and the surroundings fell into a dark sword realm. Then, thousands of sword flowers bloomed in the air!
It was a scene of "butterflies and chaos among flowers".
Amid the thunder, the tunnel shook. With the help of the power of the sword formation, the sword flowers shattered the barrier, and the sacrificial bat's head exploded, rolling to the ground!
The scattered cultivators were stunned.
The sea of flowers collapsed, the sword realm disappeared, and the light reappeared.
A purple sword floated in the air, with a tall figure standing on the sword. His black cloak reflected the firelight on the rock wall, and his long hair was flying behind him due to the sword energy, giving him a majestic demeanor.
