Chapter 466 Lingbao
The resources on the first and second floors of the secret realm have been collected, and there may be high-level monks guarding them outside. Of course, it is better to leave as soon as possible at this time.
But looking at Tang Tianbao's appearance, it seems that he has no intention of leaving directly, as if there is something else to do?
With this question in mind, Liu Yu frowned secretly.
Starting with the Sanyuan fruit, the last thing he wanted was to make troubles, and now he wanted to return home.
Uncle Yang and the others were also puzzled, but their eyes briefly met, and out of absolute trust in the Son, they followed immediately.
"Tap"
The seven of them rushed all the way, running and jumping in the silent mountains and forests.
Ever since they met once at Shenghuo Peak, the remaining three of Tianyi Sect seem to have left, and there is no half of them anymore.
When the seven people were collecting resources, they almost walked through the second floor of the secret realm, but they didn't meet them once, and they didn't hear anything, which seemed a little strange.
Speeding all the way, Tang Tianbao stopped in front of a hill less than five miles away from the Holy Fire Peak, and looked around to assess the surrounding environment, as if comparing something.
"This hill is very ordinary."
Liu Yu glanced at it casually, and easily came to a conclusion, a little unclear.
According to the spiritual perception, the aura fluctuations on this hill are extremely weak, and there is no possibility of spiritual veins. It is really just an ordinary barren mountain.
The height of less than fifty feet is really insignificant compared to the nearby Holy Fire Peak.
"However, when Tang Tianbao came here at this time, it is obvious that this mountain hides a secret that no one knows."
As soon as this thought flashed through, Liu Yu waited silently without saying a word.
He noticed that Uncle Yang, Zishan and others also looked puzzled, but they just watched quietly without saying anything.
Anyway, even if there are high-level monks "blocking the door" outside, they can't get in now. It's been less than a day since the secret realm was opened for four days, and there is still plenty of time to stay here.
"what."
Liu Yu's heart moved,
He noticed that Zhou Ziwen's reaction was a bit strange. Although he also looked puzzled, it seemed to contain other emotions.
This kind of emotion is well restrained, and ordinary monks can't notice it at all.
But how sharp is Liu Yu's spiritual sense?
In addition to his rich experience, he still noticed the difference. This person has a subtle emotional difference from Uncle Yang and others.
But before he had time to think about it, this slight difference had disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
"strangeness."
"Could it be him?"
Liu Yu thought about it.
Tang Tianbao squinted his eyes slightly, looked around constantly with a serious expression, his pupils diverged a little as if he was thinking about something.
This person kept walking around, observing some terrain and other things, and seemed to be confirming a certain idea in his mind, and he didn't speak for a long time.
The scene was silent, and the six people quietly watched Tang Tianbao busy alone. This situation lasted for about half an hour.
Just when someone could no longer hold back, he finally stopped, continued to approach the barren mountain, and stopped again about three feet away from the foot of the mountain.
"Do you know why the ancestors of the Holy Church established this secret place?"
Turning around, Tang Tianbao asked the six people.
In the common sense of the Holy Fire Cult, this question is a bit strange, even redundant.
Even Liu Yu, a monk who has just come into contact with the core of the Sacred Fire Cult, knows that the purpose of establishing the secret realm is to allow the sect to pass on better, to have sustainable development resources, and to wait for possible "greatness" again in the future.
"For the inheritance of the holy religion."
"There are enough resources for the development of the sect."
Without thinking, Uncle Yang, Zishan and others blurted out.
Although there are different opinions, the meanings are generally the same, and it is for the better inheritance of the sect.
Unexpectedly, Tang Tianbao nodded and shook his head after hearing the words.
He looked up at the barren mountain, with inexplicable complexity, and said softly:
"You are right."
"However, this is only one of the reasons, and the most important reason is not this!"
Hearing this, the six people reacted differently, with disbelief and suspicion on their faces.
"what?!"
Uncle Yang's expression changed.
The existence of the secret realm is for the inheritance of the holy religion. He has heard this saying for almost 200 years.
Now that his lifespan is about to expire, it has been denied to a certain extent?
This made him feel cheated, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable when something he had believed in all his life was denied.
The thoughts of several other people are generally the same.
If providing resources for the holy religion is only one of the reasons for the establishment of the secret realm, then what is the real reason?
At this moment, Uncle Yang, Zishan and the others all raised this question.
Liu Yu also thought of this, but he didn't have as complicated emotions as others. After all, becoming a senior guest minister of the Holy Fire Cult was just a means for him to achieve his goal.
No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, Tang Tianbao didn't stop to appease him at this time, but continued to say:
"Back then, more than 3000 and two hundred years ago, the Holy Cult was not in decline. On the contrary, it was a relatively strong period."
"At that time, there were three Nascent Soul Patriarchs in the sect, who were well-known and coercive. They firmly controlled the entire Xisha land, and their status was unshakable."
"As for why the mountain gate was breached and declined overnight, it was definitely not because of the god Samana!"
"At that time, God Samana was nothing more than a small sect!"
Speaking of this, his expression was very angry and excited, and he dismissed the god Samana in his words.
After taking a few deep breaths, he continued:
"Among the three Yuanying patriarchs, one of them is a master of crafting, and his attainments in crafting have reached an incredible level."
"By chance, this patriarch had the idea of refining Lingbao, and got the full support of the other two patriarchs."
"Things went very smoothly, and the refining of Lingbao was close to success, only the last step."
"It's just this last step, but it has been delayed."
"And the news of the Holy Cult's secret refinement of spirit treasures leaked out for unknown reasons, so a shocking accident happened!"
"A total of seven Nascent Soul monks concealed their identities and suddenly besieged the Holy Cult's mountain gate together in the dark, and a battle broke out that affected the rise and fall of the Holy Cult!"
"In the end, the three patriarchs were outnumbered, two of them fell on the spot, and only the master of refining, Tianhuo, escaped."
"The mountain gate was broken, and the Holy Cult began to weaken from then on, and the refining of Lingbao fell short."
"The Nascent Soul cultivator who concealed his identity may come from the orthodox evil way, or he may be from another sect in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance."
"But Patriarch Tianhuo warned before he died not to trace the origins of those seven people."
At the end, Tang Tianbao's tone changed from indignation to calm.
But this does not mean that the hatred has disappeared, but has been hidden deep in his heart.
Liu Yu looked as usual, just listening quietly.
Hearing the rise and fall of the great sect with three Nascent Soul cultivators, he felt a lot of emotion for a while, and gained a deeper understanding of the rise and fall of the cultivating forces.
"The sect that was once so brilliant and even stronger than Yuanyang Sect will perish overnight."
"This is a treacherous world."
"The road to perdition is really short beyond imagination!"
Listening to Tang Tianbao's personal narration, Liu Yu's heart was full of solemnity, and he felt a solemn feeling of looking through history.
The so-called "spiritual treasure" is an existence that surpasses all magic weapons and magic tools.
The power is so great that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as destroying the world.
Even a cultivator at the stage of transforming gods, it is difficult to find and find them.
Looking through the classics, even in ancient legends, the number of times Lingbao appeared is very few.
Once there is a battle between Lingbao, it will often change the pattern of the world of cultivating immortals at that time.
The spirit treasure is the same as the great power in the refining period, symbolizing the pinnacle of this world, and it was generally mastered by the great power in ancient times.
It's just that after the Great War of the Ancients, the entire world of cultivating immortals was slowly declining, and after the Middle Ages, there were no existences of the Void Refining Stage born, and a small number of them were finally mastered by the top monks of the Transforming God Stage, and existed as the highest deterrent force.
After the cultivators reach the stage of transforming gods, they can already control the aura of heaven and earth on a large scale, and possess earth-shaking power with every gesture.
At this time, the increase in strength of ordinary magic weapons is already extremely limited, and it is not even as good as direct shots by immortal cultivators, using magical powers to attack.
Only treasures at the level of Lingbao can greatly improve the strength of immortal cultivators after the transformation stage.
The key reason why Lingbao is so special lies in the word "spirit".
Different from the magic weapon used by monks who refine qi and build a foundation, there is also the magic weapon used by monks who use Jindan Nascent Soul. No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it is just a "dead" thing.
Lingbao has "spirituality" and is no longer completely dead.
What is "spirituality"?
Spirituality is the comet that cuts through the darkness in the dark night, bringing light, hope and infinite possibilities!
It is a miracle born out of the impossible in countless ordinary interpretations!
Although Lingbao with "spirituality" is not yet a real life and has no real wisdom, it is no longer a simple dead thing, but an existence that may reverse life and death.
It is precisely because of this that Lingbao has all kinds of incredible abilities, and even can mobilize the vitality of the world itself, which is completely different from magic treasures and magic weapons.
Liu Yu is 84 years old this year, and has been on the road to immortality for 77 years. He has heard some gossip about monks in the transformation stage, but he has never heard about Lingbao except in the classics.
Of course, it is more likely that his level is too low to get access to news of too high a level.
"The birth of every Lingbao is due to chance and coincidence, and there is no possibility of duplication."
"Even the top master craftsman can only refine top magic weapons, but he is at a loss as to how to refine spirit treasures."
"One is a dead thing, but the other has vitality. The mystery between life and death may not be able to be penetrated even by great powers."
"Perhaps, only the stalwart existence of immortals and near immortals can truly reverse life and death!"
"With the sacred fire teaching that patriarch, can you refine a spirit treasure?!"
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and he gave a negative answer, not optimistic about the results of the Sacred Fire Sect's refining spirit treasure.
But if it was because of the Lingbao, the Sacred Fire Cult's demise was indeed justified.
The power of the Lingbao is too powerful. Even if it is only possible to successfully refine it, many monks are unwilling to see it. Using this as a reason to unite to destroy the Holy Fire Cult is indeed justified.
"Then after the Sacred Fire Cult's mountain gate was broken, what happened to the "Lingbao"?"
"Could it be...?!"
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's heart moved.
Although it is believed that the semi-finished spirit treasure cannot be successfully refined in the end, it is aimed at refining the spirit treasure anyway. The spirit materials used should be top-notch, right?
If you can't refine a spirit treasure, it should be easy to refine it into a magic weapon by going back to the furnace, right?
Moreover, what if the refining is really successful?
Missing the Lingbao, wouldn't it be regrettable!
Thinking of this, he admitted that his heart was moved, so he left in no hurry.
Liu Yu never thought that he was a pure "good guy" or a pure "bad guy".
Good and evil, righteousness and evil are just the definition of the world, and he only wants to be his pure self.
Be your own king!
There is a Tao that the virtuous of the heaven and earth spirits live in. If the spirit treasure is really refined, and the Sacred Fire Cult "has no virtue", it is only natural to seize it by oneself.
This was the case 3000 years ago and 3000 years later, this is the rule of this extraordinary world!
Acting according to his inner thoughts, Liu Yu has no burden or guilt.
"Three thousand years ago, Lingbao was not successfully refined, but it did not fail completely."
"The half-refined spirit treasure was finally brought out by Patriarch Tianhuo."
"The main reason for the establishment of this secret realm is to continue to refine that spiritual treasure and complete the unfinished business of the year!"
"The core of the third layer of the secret realm was established for this purpose. Patriarch Tianhuo arranged a formation and refined spirit treasures day and night, hoping to succeed one day."
"The patriarch left a prophecy. It should not be this time when it was born."
"It's a pity that the news of the secret realm has been leaked. This place is no longer safe and secret. It will inevitably fall into the hands of other monks, and it can only break the arrangement of the ancestor."
As he said that, Tang Tianbao sighed heavily, and sadness flashed in his eyes.
"The disciples of the younger generation are incompetent, and the sacred objects will be lost. Today, they can only break the arrangement of the ancestors."
"If the patriarch and all the ancestors know about it, I hope you don't blame me."
Thoroughly made up his mind, he put his hands on his chest and performed a religious ceremony in the direction of the holy fire peak.
When the salute was over and he raised his head, Tang Tianbao had calmed down.
He no longer hesitated to take out the holy fire order, and slowly played out the ancient and complicated formulas, dozens of times in a row.
As dozens of formulas were imprinted on the holy fire token, the red brilliance of this floating token became more and more dazzling.
Every time it shines, the brilliance will increase by one point, and the speed of shining will become faster and faster.
When the red brilliance was as dazzling as a torch, a thick beam of light suddenly shot out and sank into the ground of the hill.
"Boom"
"crash"
The hill in front of everyone trembled and shook constantly, and the stones and soil on it kept falling down.
The distance was so close that the ground under Liu Yu's feet was also shaking strongly, as if an earthquake was about to occur.
"click~"
With Tang Tianbao's manipulation of the holy fire order, the hill trembled more and more violently, and finally split into two halves amidst a series of roaring sounds, and slowly moved to both sides.
Seeing this, Tang Tianbao made a new move, popping up fireballs one after another, bombarding the open space exposed by the movement of the hill.
"Bang bang bang!"
Smoke and dust filled the sky, obscuring sight.
When the hill stopped moving, the smoke and dust thinned out a little, and a hole two feet wide and straight down appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Let's go, this is the intersection leading to the core of the secret realm."
"If you have any questions, I'll talk while I walk."
Sighing, Tang Tianbao turned his head and said, and walked towards the entrance first.
"What does that semi-finished spirit treasure look like?"
"Knife? Spear? Ding? Flag?"
"Sacred Fire Cult Patriarch, what kind of arrangement did you make inside?"
With a lot of curiosity in his heart, Liu Yu walked in behind him, stepped into the cave and walked straight down.
"What a rich fire aura."
As soon as he stepped into the entrance of the cave, his spiritual sense sensed a strong fire aura, and the fire aura was still very active.
As it goes deeper, the richness of the fire aura is still increasing, and the same is true for the degree of activity.
On the contrary, the spiritual energy of other attributes is very thin, and it is much "quiet" compared to the outside world.
"It seems that the spirit treasure that the Sacred Fire Cult wants to refine must be of the fire attribute."
While walking, Liu Yu flashed this idea.
It is not difficult to guess that an environment with suitable attributes will have some blessings, although it will have little effect on the refining of Lingbao.
"Son."
Suddenly hearing the reason for the decline of the congregation, Uncle Yang and the congregation were full of doubts, and they all asked them one by one at this time.
Liu Yu also had a lot of questions, but he only asked one or two innocuous questions selectively.
He has only been a senior guest minister of the Sacred Fire Cult for a year. Although he was brought into the secret realm, it is obviously impossible to truly gain trust, so he didn't ask any more questions.
But the conversation of several people was still heard by him without missing a word.
After Tang Tianbao's simple narration, Liu Yu knew that the spirit treasure that the Sacred Fire Cult wanted to refine was a sword named "Sacred Fire Sword".
Also, there are actually two sets of Tier [-] formations in this secret realm, one is mainly responsible for maintaining the operation of the secret realm, and the other is mainly responsible for refining the "Holy Fire Sword".
The two sets of formations complement each other, and their power is close to that of the fourth-rank top-rank. Even if the Nascent Soul Stage monks come in person, it is impossible to break through it easily.
Liu Yu didn't find it surprising that the founder of the Holy Fire Cult could still arrange two sets of fourth-order formations under such unfavorable circumstances.
After all, all the arts of cultivating immortals have something in common, just like when he studied alchemy, he would naturally know a lot about planting spiritual grass.
Refining equipment needs to engrave runes or even small formations on the magic weapon, so the founder of the Holy Fire Cult probably also has profound attainments in formations, which is normal.
"In order to ensure the safety of the holy sword, Patriarch Tianhuo left a will. This secret can only be passed on by word of mouth among the holy sons."
"So I'm sorry everyone, Tianbao didn't hide it intentionally."
At the end, Tang Tianbao turned his head and cupped his hands in a sudden step, and said seriously.
"Since it is the patriarch's will, we naturally have to obey it, and the Holy Son doesn't have to care."
Uncle Yang spoke first, and the others nodded slightly.
The passage leading to the core of the secret realm is very spacious, but it is pitch black without lighting such as luminous stones.
But for Foundation Establishment cultivators, ordinary darkness has no effect, it doesn't matter whether there are lighting objects or not.
