Chapter 70 Wizard Civilization, Guarding the Secret Realm
"arrive."
Accompanied by Shen Linyuan's calm voice.
The two emerged from the shadows and arrived at a dense forest through which a river flowed.
"This is the Dark Fortress area of the Ether Domain, and the secret realm you are stationed in is right here."
This used to be the territory of some dark wizards, with more than twenty resource points and seven secret realms. Now it has been completely divided up by our three factions..."
Shen Linyuan led the way while explaining the facts.
Li Qingshan reviewed the information about the garrison.
only...
If he remembered correctly, the base camp was nearly 5,000 li away from here.
They arrived in no more than fifteen minutes.
It lasted about twelve or thirteen minutes.
Li Qingshan quickly did some mental calculations and was astonished to discover that Shen Linyuan had just been traveling at nearly ten times the speed of sound.
It's still that kind of silent, ten times the speed of sound.
His gaze towards Shen Linyuan was now completely clear.
Shen Linyuan seemed to sense something, turned around and met Li Qingshan's gaze, and said with amusement, "What, want to learn the Shadow Crossing technique from before?"
"Shadow Crossing the Void?"
Li Qingshan felt the name was strange, but nodded wholeheartedly.
Shen Linyuan shook his head: "This is my Dao Body's innate divine ability. You can't learn it. It's a pity it's an escape technique, only suitable for traveling and escaping to save your life, not for fighting."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan's eyes lit up even more: "Master, how does one awaken the innate supernatural abilities of a Dao Body?"
He also possesses the Dao Body.
It is still the boundless body of the ocean, a Dao body worth seven coins.
As they walked, Shen Linyuan explained, "The Dao Body's innate divine power is a manifestation of the rules. Once you comprehend the meaning of martial arts, you will be able to condense a seed of your soul and awaken your own Dao Body's innate divine power. This divine power will grow and improve along with your martial arts realm..."
Or perhaps they were simply in the mood.
Shen Linyuan continued:
"In fact, many martial arts techniques above the Spirit Transformation Realm are derived from the reverse deduction of various Dao bodies."
This is why martial arts cultivation to the Spirit Transformation Realm can give rise to minor martial arts supernatural abilities.
It's not just our Guixu Martial Arts.
The same goes for those wizards.
You've fought wizards before, what did you think of their strength?
Li Qingshan thought for a moment and shook his head: "The ones I've encountered are all pretty ordinary. They seem to be able to unleash various energy attacks, but they all feel chaotic..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Linyuan chuckled:
That's because you've only encountered half-finished cannon fodder.
A true wizard, after advancing one level, possesses a soul strength comparable to a martial arts expert at the Meridian Opening Realm.
Depending on their meditation methods, different runes are inscribed in their souls during their ascension.
This spell can be cast instantly when needed.
Furthermore, with each advancement, this magic not only evolves but also inscribes new magic, forming a combination of magic.
It gets more and more terrifying as you go on.
After reaching the third ring, its soul can be completely elementalized, making it extremely difficult to kill.
Besides this kind of traditional shaman.
There are also various classifications of wizards that incorporate many characteristics of different civilizations.
Do you know what this means?
Li Qingshan thought for a moment, then asked, "Have many civilizations already perished at the hands of the wizard civilization?"
Shen Linyuan nodded:
"Yes.
Any knowledge that comes into their hands can be quickly integrated into their power system.
At the county level, the Bitter Realm is alright because the energy level is not high. Even if an accident occurs, it will be at most similar to this time, and they cannot even suppress and kill someone at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The hardships in the prefectures and counties are quite different.
Decades ago, a problem arose in the Bitter Realm of Tianyun Prefecture. A wizard who was about to be sacrificed went mad and sacrificed himself first, attracting the projection of an evil god from beyond the realm.
The entire sect from Tianyun Prefecture was wiped out on the spot, with only a few managing to escape.
The aura emanating from the evil god's projection also polluted Tianyun City in Guixu through the passage, resulting in the deaths and injuries of over a million people...
In the end, it was only when a powerful expert from the Martial Alliance at the Dharma Aspect Realm descended and forcibly tore apart the projection of that evil god that the evil god was prevented from descending into the Ruins of Return.
In short, this is a terrifying civilization.
Never underestimate anything.
"Tianyun Mansion, white mist..."
Li Qingshan was taken aback.
Could it be the prefecture city where his grandfather was born?
As for the Dharma Aspect Realm, it is too far away for him.
Nourishing the body, physical body, Qi sea, meridian opening, spiritual transformation, supernatural powers, Dharma form, celestial being, domain lord...
Nine steps to heaven.
He is now just an ant at the Qi Sea Realm.
...
The two walked and talked along the river until they arrived at a simple campsite.
The campsite was only about a hundred square meters, with just a few rough wooden houses, and an invisible light shield covering the outside.
In Li Qingshan's perception, this light shield was more of a warning device than a defensive one; it couldn't even completely block his senses.
As soon as the two passed through the light barrier, they saw a man and a woman sitting lazily on a wooden platform built in the camp, with a fishing rod and a bucket at their feet.
They saw someone coming over.
The two disciples quickly stood up, a snake-shaped phantom flashing in their eyes, and then bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Shen, greetings, Elder Li."
Shen Linyuan nodded: "You guys get back to work."
The two obediently sat down to fish again, but they looked much more reserved, their previous lazy atmosphere gone.
Shen Linyuan looked at Li Qingshan: "Go inside and wander around, I'll wait for you outside."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded.
He learned about the secret realm through the recording stone after taking office.
He took out a talisman and infused it with his true energy.
next moment.
His figure merged into the void.
When perception is restored.
He had already appeared on the top floor of a tower.
According to the detailed description in the photo stone.
This secret realm is mainly managed by a high-level alchemical golem, with ordinary alchemical golems handling everything below.
Airships regularly deliver cultivation materials.
The garrison rotation is every three years.
...
It seemed as if they sensed his arrival.
A grotesque skeleton slowly materialized and appeared on the top floor of the tower, bowing respectfully to Li Qingshan: "Gargamel greets his esteemed master."
Li Qingshan waved his hand: "Everything is as usual. I'll call you if I need anything."
The skeleton bowed once more, then turned into dust and vanished.
"This secret realm is a special resource-type secret realm. There aren't any counter-rules, but the negative energy is too concentrated. Living people who come here will quickly turn into dead people..."
The description of the secret realm flashed through Li Qingshan's mind, and water ripples appeared beneath his feet, lifting him into the air.
From this vantage point, everything is laid out before you.
"This secret realm is even more terrifying than what was seen in the memory stone..."
Li Qingshan glanced around and couldn't help but complain.
This is a strange, secluded place, grayish-white in color, like an old black and white photograph. It is not large, only about the size of sixty or seventy football fields, and you can see the end of it at a glance.
The area outside the secret realm is blocked by countless swirling black mists, like the edge of a world cut off.
The tower beneath their feet was located in the center of the secret realm.
The tower is constructed entirely of dark-patterned black stone. Its towering and straight body is engraved with winding runes on its outer walls, which glow with a fluorescent light, blocking out a large amount of visible blackish-gray mist.
Looking down, you can see rows of stiff, alchemical golems carrying various tools and bags as they enter and exit through the four tower gates.
The tower is surrounded by gardens separated by barriers.
Inside the garden, there were all sorts of strangely shaped plants.
These plants are incredibly active; there are strange trees that writhe like snakes, plants with howling fruit, and grass-like plants that scurry about...
When I first watched it, it felt somewhat fantastical, as if I had entered the lair of some evil wizard.
Take a stroll around.
Li Qingshan immediately felt unwell.
Even though he used his true energy to isolate himself from the corrosive negative energy outside in this gray and white secret realm, and his soul consciousness was constantly frozen, his mood still inexplicably became depressed.
"This place is definitely not suitable for long-term survival; even my frame rate can't protect against the continuous corrosive effects..."
Li Qingshan lost interest in strolling around and returned to the tower to reactivate the talisman.
...
outside world.
When Shen Linyuan saw him return, he pointed to a pile of rocks in front of him and said, "These two disciples are your assistants. Your staying here will only make them uncomfortable. Let's go over there."
Li Qingshan naturally had no objections.
These two disciples, one male and one female, were said to be assisting, but in reality, their bodies and souls had been implanted with a special spirit-suppressing mark from this place, making them human early warning systems.
If something goes wrong.
As the guardian elder, he could immediately sense it through the talisman.
They saw the two leave the camp.
The two disciples, one male and one female, both breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was Elder Li just now. He seems even more handsome than he appeared in the video. Ah, I wish I could reach the Meridian Opening Realm too..."
The female disciple touched her face.
Upon hearing this, the male disciple chuckled, "Not every elder is this handsome. I do know why. Junior sister, why don't you come to my room tonight for a chat..."
The female disciple rolled her eyes at him: "Get lost!"
Among martial artists, unless it's done intentionally, there won't be any ugly people.
After all, those in the physical body realm undergo three transformations, so their physical appearance is naturally exceptional; they are all tall and well-proportioned with striking and well-defined features.
However, it still falls short of the refinement of heaven and earth after the Dao body is condensed.
...
A pile of rubble.
Shen Linyuan waved his hand.
Numerous dark shadows wriggled and transformed into a gigantic maw hundreds of meters in size, swallowing the surrounding rocks whole.
After a few breaths.
The shadows dissipated.
The pile of rubble in front of them had been transformed into a small stone courtyard covering two or three hundred square meters. Although it looked rough, it had everything they needed.
Li Qingshan began to worry.
Behind martial arts, it seems, lies something like playing with rules and supernatural powers.
If I drive a 100-ton king on the ground every day, will I fall behind the version's mechanics?
"Let's go. I'll go through the entire martial arts system with you from beginning to end, and I'll also give you the introductory gift I've prepared..."
Shen Linyuan took a step forward and sat down on a chair in the stone courtyard.
"Entrance ceremony?"
Li Qingshan rubbed his hands together and followed.
