"Pang Jian, you made me walk for a whole day and night to get from that snowy peak to the Yinling Temple!"
"Even if you want to take back Cao Mang's Black Iron Mountain, you should send me to the Yinling Temple first!"
"… "
Dong Tianze, who was in the center of the ghost altar, cursed loudly with a grim expression.
Pang Jian's expression remained calm and he remained silent as usual.
Based on his understanding of Dong Tianze, it would be best not to say anything at this time, otherwise it would only provoke a more intense reaction from Dong Tianze.
really…
Dong Tianze, who was cursing the heavens and the earth, spitting everywhere, soon stopped cursing and gasped, "You are not in the forbidden land of Qiling?"
In his sight, Pang Jian was in a swamp, with short flowers, plants and trees growing around him.
This is obviously not a forbidden place for praying to the spirits where no grass grows.
"Who said I was in the forbidden land of prayer?"
Pang Jian asked curiously.
"The Sword Tower has asked the people from Hongshan to look for you. Zhao Yuanqi is driving the Chixia Boat with Zhou Qingchen and others, floating near the Qiling Forbidden Land, but they dare not enter the forbidden area."
Dong Tianze had a cold face and explained it first. After thinking for a while, he said, "The second world is a forbidden area called Juetian, which is shrouded in strange fog and is designated as a trial place by the higher-ups."
"In the forbidden land of Juetian, many ferocious beasts and evil spirits have been bred, and there are also many alien god puppets roaming around. I wonder what they want to do in there."
"I heard that the forbidden land of Juetian is very strange, with mysterious mist, and it seems that practitioners in the upper fifth realm are not allowed to enter."
"The higher-ups were worried that the alien god puppets that entered might cause some horrible incidents, so they organized a wave of trials."
"Many major sects in the Second Realm and the First Realm have joined in, and are hunting gods in the forbidden land of Juetian."
"Over at the Sword Tower, Qi Qingsong specifically asked to take you in with him."
"… "
Dong Tianze explained the situation in detail.
"There is a strange god..."
Pang Jian immediately became interested.
He wanted to search for the incomplete alien gods and condense more golden consciousness, so he asked, "Could it be that there are many alien god puppets formed by altars, stone statues, and wood carvings similar to those in the forbidden land of prayer spirits?"
"Well, I heard that the awakened alien gods from the second world and some forbidden areas of the first world have also entered the forbidden area of Juetian."
Dong Tianze nodded.
"Superior, why do you think that cultivators below the Condensed Spirit Realm can deal with those alien gods?"
Pang Jian said in confusion.
"It is said that the alien god puppets that entered the forbidden land of Juetian are not particularly strong." Dong Tianze replied based on the information he had inquired about, "Also, there are so-called peerless geniuses who entered from the first and second realms. Most of those people hold holy weapons, and some may even have divine weapons."
"The blessing of holy and divine artifacts?" Pang Jian suddenly realized.
The fighting power that Li Yuqing unleashed with that huge silver sword in his hand far exceeded that of Yin Yiqing and Tang Hongxiong. He saw this with his own eyes.
“Ahem.”
Pang Jian coughed lightly, and then he showed the black iron mountain: "You can use the soul technique of Yinling Temple to activate this thing, and it can be used for attack or defense."
Dong Tianze snorted and said coldly: "I knew you wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rip me off. Name your price!"
He has been staying in the cave recently, guarding the ghost altar, just to purchase this Black Iron Mountain.
There are many beast souls in this mountain, as well as many high-level spiritual evil spirits that can fly in the air. They are indeed extremely suitable combat weapons for him.
"Name your price."
Pang Jian said calmly.
Dong Tianze looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have discussed this with my master. Cao Mang's Black Iron Mountain is worth about 70,000 spiritual jades. In addition, I can also add five bottles of Soul Nourishing Pills, each containing ten pills."
"make a deal!"
Pang Jian was extremely decisive.
After Black Turtle Armor's "gravity control" talent emerged, he could fly hundreds of feet in the air without relying on the Jingzhi Spear, and all he consumed was the blood and energy in his body.
In other words, even if he lost the Black Iron Mountain, he still had the ability to fly in the air.
As for the ferocious beast souls in the Black Iron Mountain and the spiritual evil spirits refined by Dong Tianze, they were not his forte. This mountain could not be stored in the storage bracelet, so it was not very convenient to keep them with him.
"Please take the Lingyu!"
On the other side, Dong Tianze couldn't wait to put out the 70,000 spiritual jades and five bottles of soul-nourishing pills rewarded by Han Zhiyuan, and hurriedly activated the trading array.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The Black Iron Mountain thus fell into Dong Tianze's cave, while 70,000 spirit jades and soul-nourishing pills appeared in Yunze.
"Another 70,000. The bottomless pit of Rock and Broken Earth must be filled."
Pang Jian muttered something, moved a little away from the ghost altar in front of him, and used the bronze plate to send the spirit jade directly to the rocky ground.
After coming back, he found that Dong Tianze, who had taken over Black Iron Mountain, had not left, but was waiting for him quietly.
"Anything else?"
Pang Jian was stunned.
"I will also go to the forbidden place." Dong Tianze said suddenly.
Pang Jian was stunned.
"I begged my master, and he will arrange for someone to send me to the Absolute Forbidden Land. I also heard that Zhao Yuanqi asked the leader of Hongshan, and she also plans to go to the Absolute Forbidden Land to compete with the so-called peerless geniuses in the first and second realms."
"We are all in the Profound Cave Realm, so we are not necessarily weaker than the geniuses in the upper two realms. Qi Qingsong can go, and you Pang Jian will go, so there is nothing we dare not do."
Dong Tianze said with a cold face.
"Is it okay to go to that forbidden place at any time?"
Pang Jian wondered.
"It doesn't seem like there's any particular urgency, but you'd better contact Hongshan as soon as possible."
Dong Tianze replied.
"Well, we'll meet again in the forbidden land."
…
Yinling Temple.
The skinny Han Zhiyuan stared at the ghost altar in the corner and witnessed the entire transaction between Dong Tianze and Pang Jian.
He came here to discuss the forbidden land with Dong Tianze, and happened to meet Pang Jian opening the ghost altar at the other end.
"Tian Ze, Master Yin is gone, Pang Jian is now Li Zhaotian's apprentice."
"You and him, from now on..."
Han Zhiyuan pointed out.
"Master, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, the hatred between him and me was resolved when he gave me a Blood Essence Pill for free."
Dong Tianze controlled the Black Iron Mountain and left the Ghost Altar.
"Teng!"
A pitch-black demonic flame burned on Black Iron Mountain. He had a gloomy expression and a complicated look in his eyes inside the demonic flame.
He was still angry that after Pang Jian took back Heitie Mountain, he did not send him safely to the place where the Yinling Temple believers were active.
However, when he thought that when he was seriously injured and dying, Pang Jian not only gave him a lot of powerful Blood Yuan Pills for free, but also pushed Black Iron Mountain to him, it was difficult for him to hate Pang Jian to the bone.
"He and I will be rivals, but we won't be mortal enemies. We won't fight to the death."
Dong Tianze said softly in the dark devil flame.
"That's good."
Han Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.
He also came to the side of the Black Iron Mountain, reached out and touched it, and then said: "This thing is indeed more suitable for our practice. The beast souls inside, as well as several soul gathering arrays, I can help you carve them further."
"Tian Ze, this is a journey to a forbidden land, don't act too rashly."
"Facing the proud children of the First and Second Realms, our Yinling Temple's skills and the tools in your hands do not have any advantages."
"The sects of the two realms above want to test the abilities of each other's young people through this trial."
"But it does not include our Yinling Temple."
"So, you don't have to stand out too much, and our Yinling Temple doesn't need to attract so much attention."
Han Zhiyuan warned.
"Um."
Dong Tianze looked indifferent.
What he was thinking was... He was not just a believer in the Yinling Temple.
Behind him is the mysterious master of honorable status.
After hunting down several divine guards and being promoted to the middle stage of the Profound Cave Realm, he felt that his master would occasionally glance at him and clearly began to pay attention to him.
"I want to prove my potential and ability to my master through the journey to the forbidden land!"
…
Yunze.
A piece of green branch suddenly fell down.
Pang Jian opened his eyes and looked at the branch that stopped right in front of him with a strange expression.
On the branch, there is a palm-sized green leaf, which is wrapped in the bright divine light and becomes as smooth and translucent as a crystal.
"Father… "
A crisp voice suddenly rang out.
When this sound came out, it was reflected in Pang Jian's ears and... his heart.
Pang Jian had a dazed look on his face. He noticed a slender figure emerging among the crystal-like leaves.
She was a little girl wearing an emerald green gauze dress, her face was not yet clear.
The green spirit under her gauze skirt gave people an unreal feeling. Her facial features were mostly hazy, as if covered by some kind of fog. Only her emerald green eyes were extremely prominent.
"father?"
Seeing that Pang Jian did not respond, she timidly changed her address.
She was among the leaves, waving at Pang Jian and said carefully: "It's me, I am Pang Jian's little tree."
Pang Jian then stood up suddenly.
He approached this mysterious leaf and looked at the illusory little girl in the leaf. He was shocked and said, "You... have a soul?"
"It has always existed, but I just couldn't visualize it before. It couldn't appear in the form I imagined."
The little tree squinted and smiled.
"That terrible alien god died, and his power was melted away by me. Your soul grew stronger, and my spiritual wisdom grew. Then, I mastered the method of refining the spirit body."
She danced gracefully among the leaves, showing herself from multiple angles so that Pang Jian could see her more clearly.
Her spirit form was just a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. After dancing for a while, she let out a cute breath, feeling a little relaxed. She said with a smile, "Father, or Dad? How should I call you? Your last name is Pang, so... what should I call you?"
Pang Jian looked dazed.
"Father, the arrival of the Wood Tribe has established many bonds with my soul, which has contributed to the rapid sublimation of my spiritual wisdom."
"I know from what they do, from the silent observation of their conversations, that you created me, and therefore I am your... child."
"Since your last name is Pang, then I should also be named Pang. Please ask father to name me."
She pinched the corner of her gauze skirt and greeted Pang Jian gently from within the leaves, her emerald-clear eyes full of anticipation.
"Pang, Pang Ling."
Pang Jian, who was distracted, gave a name under her urging and guidance.
