Chapter 144 Cleaning up the portal While the two were fighting, Ruan Xing ran in another direction and secretly released Jian Lai from the wooden box, and then let Jian Lai take the little boy number one in the storage bag and hide. However, her little action was still noticed by Taoist Qingyuan. He didn't know what Ruan Xing had done. With his cultivation level, he didn't need to take anything this Jindan-stage junior did seriously. He waved his hand lightly, and three sword lights came over. The sect leader flew sideways and blocked two of them, but he was no match for Taoist Qingyuan. He had been seriously injured in the previous few fights, and blood was gushing out from the torn wounds on his body. With Ruan Xing's level of cultivation, the sword light hit her, and with a snap, the robes that Qin Taihe gave her exploded into pieces. The whole person flew far away and hit the barrier set up outside the gap in time and space. He was covered in wounds, naked, and almost unable to move. Ruan Xing thought to herself that it was fortunate that she was using Qin Taihe's body at the moment, otherwise she would be the one being seen naked. The violent impact caused the barrier to shake, and the two Nascent Soul cultivators inside were also startled. They looked at each other, quickly opened the barrier and came out, only to see this scene. One of them shouted with a look of doubt on his face: "Why is your Xuanbing Sect making such a fuss here?" "Can't you see it?" Daoist Master Qing Yuan said, "This person violated the sect's rules. I am cleaning up the sect. To avoid affecting the relationship between our three sects, you two just watch." Before he finished speaking, two more streams of light quickly rushed into the barrier. They were Master Xu and Master Cheng Feng. When the two were about to approach the gap in time and space, they suddenly threw out a large net woven with golden threads, made seals with their hands, and chanted magic spells.
"Not good! They are trying to seal the gap in time and space!" The cultivator from Hanhai Sect yelled and was about to go over to stop them, but was stopped by Taoist Qingyuan. He said indifferently: "In my opinion, you two should stay where you are. If you take another step forward, don't blame me for being blind with my sword." The two men were angry but dared not say anything. A Taoist master who had reached the state of transformation of spirit stood in front of them. The pressure emanating from his body alone was enough to make them sweat profusely. If we really fight him, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg. The dying leader of Nanzhou lying on the ground is a lesson for us. After a while, the monk of Jinxia Sect said, "It was originally our three sects' alliance, but Daojun wantonly destroyed it. When we return to the sect and report to the sect master, we will definitely ask you Xuanbing Sect to give an explanation!" "Explanation? Hasn't it been given?" Daoist Master Qing Yuan raised his eyebrows and pointed at the position of the head of Nanzhou. "This person violated the sect rules and destroyed the covenant. This is why I came here." Seeing that Taoist Qingyuan was talking nonsense, the two were speechless. They did not hear the conversation between Qing Yuan Dao Jun and the other person before the barrier was opened. Just this explanation... The Xuanbing Sect used the life of a Yuanying Zhenjun as a raft to exchange for a secret realm. Such a decisive and generous move, if it was a business, this deal would have made a fortune, but their two sects combined did not have such foundation. The Xuanbing Sect's 180 peaks all had a peak master in the Yuanying stage, so sacrificing one would not hurt much, and if they had thirty to fifty Yuanying stage people in one sect, it would be considered the sect's heyday. If this place wasn't in Nanzhou, located at the junction of Jinxia Sect and Hanhai Sect... According to the rules, this secret realm should have been shared by the two sects. However, because more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators from Xuanbing Sect lost their lives when passing by here, the Xuanbing Sect naturally intervened, and now they even want to monopolize it! "If you two are not satisfied, you can do it yourself. I will never stop you." Taoist Qingyuan said leisurely. Anyway, he has already seriously injured the leader of Nanzhou. Even if he is still alive now, it is just his last struggle. He is willing to watch the other party gasping like an ant. The two Nascent Soul cultivators were shaking slightly with anger, but neither of them moved. Ruan Xing had already taken out a healing pill from his storage bag with great effort and swallowed it. Taoist Qing Yuan looked over with indifferent eyes, "And you, little mouse." He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to use some magic, but before he could do so, there was a sudden loud bang! Boom——! This is the moment Ruan Xing has been waiting for, Little Boy No. 1 starts! But she herself was not immune to the damage caused by Little Boy No. 1. At such a close distance, Qing Yuan Dao Jun might not be killed in the explosion, but she herself would definitely die. So at the moment the explosion sounded, Ruan Xing felt a cold body covering her, and she did not hesitate to frantically input the remaining spiritual power in her body into the key in her hand. The light gate opened. Ruan Xing no longer had the strength to move. Jian Lai held her and rolled over into the light gate. Her wooden box had been smashed to pieces by the sword light of Taoist Qingyuan, and she didn't know where her flying sword had gone. Fortunately, the storage bag was still on her body and did not disappear with the exploding robes. She still had several healing pills in her mouth, which she bit into pieces and swallowed. It all depends on whether you can survive the fall.
Jianlai adjusted the angle of his falling and positioned himself under Ruan Xing. I don’t know how long it had been, but when Ruan Xing woke up again, it was almost dark. Her whole body was in severe pain, and there was still a lingering taste of the elixir in her mouth. Her careful movements still couldn't prevent her from screaming in pain. She tilted her head slightly and saw Jian Lai squatting beside her. His small body was huddled together, his hands resting on his knees with his chin resting on them. His two eyes, one black and one white, were looking at her quietly. Her illusion spell had failed, and she was covered in a snow-white coat. Ruan Xing suddenly felt much more at ease. "Jian Lai, how long have I been unconscious?" Jianlai thought about it, counted to three with his fingers. Three hours...less than a day. She used her spiritual power to sort out the injuries in her body, then sat up with difficulty and said, "Now we must first find a closed house to hide from the absolute soul insects." Jianlai nodded, helped her up, and wanted to carry her on his back. Oh, right, the key. Ruan Xing quickly searched his body and found the key in his arms. It seemed that it was not as fragile as he had imagined. Falling from the sky did not break it into pieces. The only difference from before was that there was a faint glow on it. This is a new change. Why? Ruan Xing thought about it for a moment, and then he saw the blood stains on the edge of the key... No way, she is not of the Qintai family, so can her blood be useful? Ruan Xing picked up the key in disbelief and wiped the blood from the wound on his body. The light on the key became brighter, one end was bright white and the other end was icy blue. I reversed the direction of the key, and magically, the two different colors of light also reversed. "So this is how it is used." Ruan Xing seemed to understand. only…… Which direction is right? There was no instruction manual, and the two lights pointed in different directions. How did she know which way to go? Fortunately, the key only had two ends, which helped her rule out the other two directions. She thought about it and realized that she had been to the outside before. The endless plain was actually an abyss full of traps. She could not see through the illusion there. Then we can only look in the direction inside. Perhaps the solution to the problem lies in the center of this soulless land. Jianlai limped along with Ruan Xing on his back, and Ruan Xing realized belatedly that Jianlai's leg bone seemed to be broken. However, he was originally a puppet, and his soul was in the ink marrow, so he was not sensitive to pain. Repairing Jian Lai's body requires Yin Energy, but there is no Yin Energy available in this land of absolute spiritual power. Ruan Xing hesitated for a moment, but still said nothing.
A rustling sound was heard, and Jianlai quickened his pace. Finally, they found a house that was half sunken. The two of them climbed in through the window and covered the window with the stone bricks next to it. "Take a rest for a while." Ruan Xing said. This half-underground house was cramped and small. The two of them pressed tightly together, leaning against Jianlai's cold chest. She had been unconscious for three hours and was not sleepy at all, but now she fell asleep unconsciously. The sounds of the soul-killing insects coming and going outside did not disturb her. When she woke up again, she felt much lighter and could walk on her own. It was already daybreak. When Ruan Xing pushed open the stone bricks blocking the window, a thick layer of dust hit his face. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. She came out from the window and brushed off the dust on her body. The coat Ruan Xing was wearing was a little loose, so she tied it up with a rope. After taking out the key and looking at the direction, the two continued to move forward in the indicated direction. This journey lasted for two days and two nights. The closer they got, the thicker the dust on the ground became. Ruan Xing couldn't help but suspect that the center was the nest where the absolute spirit insect made the sound. But the key's light was getting brighter and brighter, and the destination was getting closer. Ruan Xing couldn't let the efforts of the past two days go to waste, so he had to bite the bullet and keep going. Until a pillar of heaven appeared in her sight. The slender pillar stands vertically like a silk thread. Ruan Xing ran over quickly, no longer caring about the pain in her body. When she got closer, she could see clearly that the pillar was really an extremely thin silk thread. A circle of light spots surrounded it, making it look like a pillar. At the bottom of the pillar was a large circle of something like an array plate, which circled around the outside. On each circle, there were mysterious runes engraved that people could not understand. However, this large array was damaged in many places and had lost its original brilliance. Ruan Xing walked over, squatted on the ground and compared the keys. That's right... the material of this key is exactly the same as that of the array plate. Could it be that Immortal Lord Guangyou picked off a piece of the array plate and carved it into a key? This array is about the size of a basketball court, with many broken and missing parts, and even some piles of corpses randomly placed on the side. Perhaps one of them is Qintai Gu's. Ruan Xing couldn't help but feel excited. The inheritance of Immortal Lord Guangyou was just around the corner. She began to check the objects next to the bones. However, when she stepped on a certain array plate, suddenly a bright light appeared under her feet, and the key in her hand flew out and merged with the array plate. The originally abandoned array plate started to work again. Of course, only this small area was operated. This was enough to make Ruan Xing worried, but her feet seemed to be welded to the formation plate and she couldn't move at all. Seeing this, Jian Lai wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Ruan Xing with her eyes. Soon, a shadow appeared in the light of the array disk, and a man in a purple robe and jade crown gradually emerged from the shadow. The two looked at each other in silence for a long time. Finally, the phantom spoke first. He coughed twice and said, "My time is limited. Since you have the key, are you a junior of the Qintai family? How could a Jindan-stage person like you be allowed in? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?" Ruan Xing hesitated for a moment, but still did not lie, "I am not from the Qintai family. I am Ruan Xing, a disciple of Qinghong Zhenjun of the Xuanbing Sect."
The shadow was stunned, with a look of nostalgia, "Qinghong... She actually accepted a disciple." Ruan Xing had seen the soul forms of the Demon Lord and the Fairy, but the phantom in front of him was different from them. It seemed very light and if it weren't for the fact that there was no wind in the Land of Absolute Spirits, it would have been blown away by the wind. This is also the reason why she is not very scared. The phantom should not be any danger to her. It is only the array plate under her feet that traps her, but the time is limited. Once the spiritual power in the key is exhausted, the array plate will become ineffective. The phantom even needs the spiritual power she inputs to open the formation...how could it possibly have the ability to hurt her. Ruan Xing asked, "Are you the Grandmaster?" "Yes and no." The shadow said, "I am just a trace of divine thought left by Immortal Guangyou, not Immortal Guangyou himself. Why are you here?" Ruan Xing thought for a moment before replying cautiously, "Uncle Qingping's child Qin Taihe is my senior brother. When we were chatting and playing together, he accidentally activated the key and I fell in. I remembered that my senior brother had told me about the origin of the key, so I thought since I was here, I should look for it for him." "I see." The shadow said slowly, "Then why are you fine?" Ruan Xing was confused for a moment and asked for advice quickly before he understood what the shadow meant. The root of the problem lies in what Elder Wen told her. Forgetting that you are a cultivator and losing the most important thing in your life is the same reason as not being able to use the key until you reach the state of spiritual enlightenment. This space is very strange. Immortal Lord Guangyou accidentally entered it once hundreds of years ago. At that time, he left a wisp of his divine consciousness here, and this is how he was able to escape. After Qintai Gu and Fairy Qingping were designed to be in this place, the most important bond between them was each other, so within two days they were exhausted to the point of being extremely weak. Even though they later realized that forgetting each other would allow them to survive temporarily, how could they control such a thing? Moreover, the two of them had no spiritual power to use, so they could only watch and wait for death. When Immortal Guangyou learned about it, he immediately rushed to rescue his disciple, but both of them had not yet reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, had never cultivated their spirits, and were unable to cut off their thoughts. Immortal Guangyou had no choice but to make up his mind and kill Qintai Gu. When Qintai Gu died, his thoughts disappeared and Fairy Qingping survived. Immortal Lord Guangyou used all his spiritual power to open the Pillar of Heaven and took Fairy Qingping away. No wonder Fairy Qingping died of depression just a few years after leaving... My lover died in front of me, and the one who killed him was my master, who also died in order to save me... It's understandable that Fairy Qingping couldn't bear such heavy pressure on her shoulders. "So, you are the divine consciousness left behind by Immortal Lord Guangyou hundreds of years ago?" The shadow nodded, "Yes, but he was too obsessed with me. I didn't disappear for hundreds of years. When he came in for the second time, he asked me to keep Qintai Gu's body safe." "Most of the cultivators in the world value their own cultivation the most, so he left behind the words that he forgot that he was a cultivator. But I still don't understand, don't you have anything important in your mind?" The phantom asked in confusion.
