Chapter 1612: The Secret Realm of the Magnetic Abyss
"My name is Xiao Lin, nice to meet Sect Master Luo. I came here to ask for a favor, and that is to get a spot to enter the Tianciyuan secret realm." Xiao Lin spoke with a warm expression, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
There was no response from inside the bamboo house, instead there was silence.
The five people outside all showed angry expressions. It turned out that this person came to ask for a place in Tianciyuan. If the sect master really agreed, wouldn't one of the five of them be unable to enter Tianciyuan? Moreover, this person knocked out the chief elder, so how could the sect master give up the place?
Xiao Lin still had a smile on his face. He naturally understood that if he didn't show some strength, the other party would not surrender obediently. The leader of the Hercules Sect was famous and was the number one master in the Heavenly Punishment Domain. However, after advancing to the sixth level of the Bu Tian Sutra, Xiao Lin had full confidence. Even a strong man in the Spiritual Venerable Realm would not be enough to make him retreat in front of him. This was his confidence.
The Mahayana cultivators who have been able to cultivate to this level are all very smart, especially when it comes to unknown dangers, they are extremely sensitive.
After a while, Li Huang's voice sounded again: "You can go back. This matter will be decided by this sect master."
His words were not intended to answer Xiao Lin, but to address the five people. Upon hearing his words, the five people were stunned, then bowed, and left the canyon with the fainted white-haired old man.
"It is not difficult for you to enter the Tianciyuan secret realm. You only need to withstand three attacks from me, and I will give you a place." The voice of Li Huang sounded in the bamboo house.
Xiao Lin did not show any strange expression when he heard this, as if he had expected it. He smiled and said, "Master Luo, please take action."
Xiao Lin's body shook slightly, and he retreated a hundred feet away. The Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art in his body began to operate. During the three thousand years of seclusion, although Xiao Lin still did not comprehend the Zen of Extinction to the highest level, and the sea of blood had not merged with his heart, he could not go any further and enter the realm of super first grade. But with his current realm of a first-grade immortal warrior, he would not be afraid even if he faced a Mahayana cultivator.
What's more, he has advanced to the sixth level of the Bu Tian Sutra, and his mind black hole ability has become his most powerful killer. In terms of power alone, it is probably not inferior to the Immortal-Slaying Blade.
Therefore, facing the three-move challenge from the leader of the Hercules Sect, he was full of confidence.
Just as he stood firm on his feet, Xiao Lin saw a large amount of white mist pouring out of the bamboo house in front of him. At the same time, a huge force shot out from it and arrived in front of Xiao Lin in the blink of an eye.
The energy and blood in Xiao Lin's body were running wildly, and golden light flashed in his palms. The next moment, he punched out, and a golden light shot out and collided with the white mist.
"Boom~~~" The entire canyon was shaken, and the ground began to crack into dark gullies centered on the point where the golden light and white mist collided. Xiao Lin moved his right foot back a step and steadied his body.
Before Xiao Lin could make any move, a white light suddenly flashed before his eyes. There was a slender figure in the white light. Xiao Lin also saw this slender figure in an instant.
This man was eight feet tall, not very tall, and looked a little thin. He was wearing a white robe, and his long hair was tied up in a ball of white silk.
His facial features were as sharp as if they were chiseled by a knife or an axe, with clear edges and corners, and a hint of coldness in his majesty. His right fist was flashing with a cold white light and had already reached Xiao Lin's chest.
At this moment, Xiao Lin's body shook and he retreated three steps from his original figure. Then he threw out the same punch, colliding with the incoming fist.
"Boom~~" The platinum and gold light scattered in all directions, and the ground in the entire canyon exploded one after another. At the same time, the cracks on the ground expanded again, and soon turned into dense gullies, and it was unknown how deep they were.
Xiao Lin took two steps back, and the man in white robe also frowned and took a step back.
There was a bit of surprise in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Xiao is really the first genius I have met since I started cultivating immortals. With only the late stage of transcending tribulation, he has actually cultivated the body-refining technique to the first-grade immortal martial arts realm. And if Luo feels right, Fellow Daoist Xiao's real trump card is not even the first-grade immortal martial arts realm."
"Master Luo, you are too kind. In terms of strength, I am indeed slightly inferior. Master Luo, please make the third attack?" Xiao Lin did not take it lightly. The master of the Hercules Sect, a top-level powerful man in the Mahayana realm, was definitely not just powerful enough as he showed before his eyes.
Besides, the opponent has not yet exerted the rules of force. In his opinion, the two attacks just now were just tests.
The man in white robes heard this, but suddenly stopped, and the aura on his body slowly dissipated. Then he waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need for a third strike. The two strikes just now couldn't do anything to you, so it would be useless even if you strike a few more times. Besides, with your strength, it is no problem for you to just get a place in the Tianciyuan Secret Realm."
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned. He did not expect that his trip would be so smooth. The Power Emperor in front of him was the leader of the Hercules Sect, known as the number one person in the Heavenly Punishment Domain. Xiao Lin originally thought that it would take quite a bit of twists and turns, but he did not expect it to be so smooth.
So Xiao Lin also received the technique, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Sect Master Luo."
At this time, Luo Yan waved his sleeves, and a set of simple tables and chairs immediately appeared in front of the bamboo house. He then smiled, made a "please" gesture and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao has amazing magical powers, and I admire him. Why don't you sit down and have a few drinks and exchange your thoughts together?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin gladly accepted it. Although the leader of the Hercules Sect was not an immortal warrior, he had practiced body-building exercises. What's more, he had comprehended the rule of force, one of the ten great rules. The two attacks just now were just tests. If he really used all his strength, he might not be able to defeat him.
If one could communicate with such a person, he would naturally benefit a lot. What's more, Xiao Lin came here just for a quota and did not really want to become an enemy of the Hercules Sect.
After sitting down, Luo Wei took out a pot of wine, filled it up, and the two of them raised their glasses to drink.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you don't seem to be from the Heavenly Punishment Realm, but I wonder where you came from?" Luo Wan put down the wine glass in his hand and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin did not hide anything and simply recounted how he accidentally arrived at the Gu Yang Continent during his travels, as well as some of his experiences afterwards. Of course, Xiao Lin omitted the key secrets.
Even so, it took a full hour to finish the story.
Luo Yan was also filled with sighs when he heard this. He seemed to have not expected that Xiao Lin had actually gone through so many twists and turns.
"I see. Fellow Daoist Xiao's experience is truly fascinating, but this also indirectly shows that Fellow Daoist's magical powers are absolutely astonishing, which is why he was able to remain safe and sound amidst all the twists and turns."
"Master Luo, you are too kind. What I want to do now is to find the way back to the Holy Moon Continent. I wonder if Master Luo could give me some guidance?" Xiao Lin cupped his hands and spoke.
Luo Yan was silent for a while, then he said, "The spiritual world is vast and boundless. Even though I have cultivated to the Mahayana realm, I have never really exhausted all the regions of the spiritual world. However, thousands of years ago, my master, who had not yet passed away, once mentioned to me that there was a place that seemed to lead to the outside of this continent."
It turns out that the continent where the Heavenly Punishment Domain is located is called the Cursed Land. The reason why it has such a strange name is because of the magnetic force of the Heavenly Punishment Domain. Although there are many races living on this land, they have all gone through endless years of screening before they can survive.
Countless years ago, this was a normal continent. There was no such terrifying magnetic force. In addition, the temperature here was just right, and there were birds singing, flowers blooming, and all things flourishing.
But one day later, the primordial magnetic force suddenly appeared. The moment the primordial magnetic force appeared, all living creatures on the entire continent died almost instantly. Especially now in the Heavenly Punishment Realm, it was like a purgatory on earth, with broken flesh and blood everywhere, and the bloody smell lasted for several years before gradually dissipating.
After hearing this, Xiao Lin was able to understand that the force of Yuan magnetic force was a force beyond the power of the five elements. A gravity field would be formed within the space covered by the force of Yuan magnetic force. The stronger the force of Yuan magnetic force, the greater the gravity. Imagine if an ordinary person was suddenly pressed down by a weight a hundred times heavier, he would be crushed into powder in an instant.
The sudden appearance of horrific gravity killed almost all the creatures on this continent. Some of the survivors were able to gradually resist the horrific gravity through training, and a small number of them actually developed talents in this extreme environment and were able to gradually adapt to the horrific gravity.
This went on for countless years before the many races we have today gradually formed.
The sudden appearance of the magnetic force was also called the Immortal Curse by the creatures on this land, so this continent was also called the Cursed Land.
There are three domains in the Cursed Land, namely the Black Abyss Domain, the Heavenly Punishment Domain, and the Storm Domain.
Among them, the Heavenly Punishment Domain has the strongest magnetic force and the greatest gravity, which is hundreds of times greater than gravity. If it weren't for the later discovery of ornaments such as the magnetic pendant that can offset gravity, there would be no living creatures in the Heavenly Punishment Domain.
It was in this environment that coolies emerged as a profession of cultivation. There are also some differences in the gravity fields of the Heavenly Punishment Domain. In places with strong magnetic force, the gravity can even reach nearly a thousand times, and in places with weak magnetic fields, it is about a hundred times. Coolies usually choose places with a gravity field of a hundred times to practice body-building exercises and cultivate qi and blood. At the same time, they will constantly hone their will, especially the density and toughness of their muscles and bones throughout their body.
After adapting, they will go to places with stronger gravity fields to continue their practice.
In the Heavenly Punishment Realm, the strongest trial place is the Tianciyuan Secret Realm. The gravity inside can reach a terrifying three thousand times. Usually, only those who have reached the Tribulation Period and whose physical cultivation techniques have reached the pinnacle can enter it and further practice. Once the trial in the Tianciyuan Secret Realm is successful, the physical strength will reach the extreme intensity, and even bathing in heavenly thunder will not be a problem.
However, there are not many people who can complete the trial throughout history. After all, the gravity field is increased from a thousand times to three thousand times all at once. Most people cannot bear it at all. Once they can't bear it, they will be crushed into powder almost instantly and die.
And if you can leave successfully, you will also be awarded the highest honor of the coolies - the immortal.
If one can advance to the Mahayana stage, he can be given the title of Power Emperor.
After hearing this, Xiao Lin roughly understood that although the place in the Tianciyuan Secret Realm is precious, it is a life-threatening experience to enter it, which is the biggest test for practitioners.
Xiao Lin also understood that the Lord Luo in front of him must be an immortal warrior, and the strongest man in the Heavenly Punishment Domain, a true power emperor.
The title of Power Emperor represents double honor, which is the fusion of immortal power warriors and Mahayana cultivators. What's more, Luo Yan comprehended the rules of power. It is no wonder that he can become the strongest man in the Heavenly Punishment Domain.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin was very impressed with the Sect Master Luo in front of him.
"Master Luo, have you ever thought about why the magnetic force suddenly descended from the sky in this Heavenly Punishment Domain?" Xiao Lin suddenly asked after Luo Yan finished his story.
Luo Yan was slightly stunned, as if he had not expected Xiao Lin to ask this question. After thinking for a while, he answered: "After I joined the Hercules Sect, I also thought about this question and read many ancient books. My master even went into the Tianci Abyss to explore the answer to this question. Unfortunately, I never got the answer."
"Could it be that Brother Xiao is also looking for answers?" Luo Wei seemed to suddenly remember something and asked in surprise.
Xiao Lin replied, "I am just curious. After all, this incident seems to be very sudden, so there must be a reason. As for why I want to enter the Tianciyuan Secret Realm, it is not to find out the truth, but to practice a Yuanci magical power. That is why I offended Brother Luo. I hope Brother Luo will not be offended."
"No, no." Luo Wan was obviously an open-minded person and was not surprised. Although Xiao Lin was not a Mahayana cultivator, through the previous two attacks, he had already understood that the young man in his twenties in front of him was not inferior to himself in attainments in physical cultivation.
Luo Wei stretched out his right hand, a white light flashed in his palm, and a snow-white token appeared in his palm.
"This is the White Magnetic Token, and it is also the key to enter the Tianciyuan Secret Realm. The Tianciyuan Secret Realm opens once every hundred years. When it opens, you can enter with this token. With Fellow Daoist Xiao's attainments in body refining techniques, I don't think there will be any danger."
As he said that, he handed the token to Xiao Lin.
After Xiao Lin expressed his thanks, he took the token without hesitation and put it away.
After the two chatted for a while, they began to exchange their cultivation experiences. Since Xiao Lin started cultivating, the real physical cultivators he met were rare. However, the Sect Master Luo in front of him was a powerful person who had cultivated the body refining technique to the pinnacle. Xiao Lin would naturally not let go of such an opportunity, and the two began to communicate naturally.
The more they communicated, the more they benefited from each other. In the end, Luo Yan even grabbed Xiao Lin's arm and pulled him into the bamboo house to communicate behind closed doors. (End of this chapter)
