"Fellow Daoist Yan, you are... so polite! Don't worry, when I come out of confinement, Dai will be my concubine." Dai Yiping pretended to decline for a few times, and finally put the elixir in his sleeve.

The old man Qing Guan was overjoyed when he heard this. The reason why he sent gifts several times was just because of this sentence.

"With Brother Dai's words, Yan is finally relieved."

"No, no, it's just a sentence, it doesn't matter at all."

Just when Dai Yiping finished speaking, his ears suddenly twitched, and his expression instantly became serious and respectful, as if he heard something, he bowed and nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, the man smiled at the old man Qingguan and said, "Congratulations to fellow Taoist Yan. I have just been released from seclusion. Now I specially invite you to come into the house for questioning."

The old man Qing Guan said happily: "Really? That's great. I don't dare to keep Master Zhao waiting for a long time. Brother Dai, please take me in quickly."

Dai Yiping secretly sighed that the other party was very lucky. There were countless people outside who wanted to meet his master, but they were never able to do so. Unexpectedly, this person only came a few times and got such an opportunity.

It's hard to tell whether the master is interested in the fact that the other party is a descendant of the Yan family.

Dai Yiping led the old man Qingguan into the cave, walked along the corridor for several miles, and finally came to a secret room.

When the two of them approached the secret room, the jade-white stone door suddenly opened without any wind, and a faint light poured out from inside.

Dai Yiping stopped in front of the door, turned around and made a gesture to invite him in.

The old man Qing Guan straightened his clothes again, took a deep breath, and walked into the secret room solemnly.

As soon as his figure stepped into the door, the stone door suddenly closed on its own.

Not long after, the stone door opened again, and the old man Qingguan walked out of it with a somewhat dazed expression.

When Dai Yiping saw this, he didn't ask any questions and just silently led the other person outside.

At this time, in the secret room, soft light fell from the roof, illuminating the cold and quiet space.

Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged in the middle of the jade platform, his eyes flickering slightly, and he gradually fell into deep thought.

The man just now was born in the Hongli Yan family, and the ancestor of the family was the seventh senior brother Yan Yue.

Because the seventh senior brother was about to pass away, everyone in the Yan family was in panic and had to anxiously find a new supporter.

He is not the Yan family's only choice, but he is the most promising one to become the family's new backer.

In addition, this person also tried several times to test whether he had plans to open up new territories.

According to the tradition of the Immortal Sect, every newly promoted Lord Returning to the Void has a special right, that is, he can choose a wild area in Dakunzhou and personally open up a new human spiritual realm, such as Chen Bei's in Jinlan Spiritual Realm.

The development of any new territory has always been a major event with both benefits and risks. Although the possibility of failure in the development is extremely high, the rewards after success will make people crazy. Not only will the benefits be endless, but also the future generations of the family.

It is a blessing that lasts for countless years.

The most vivid examples are the third senior brothers Chen Bei and Jinlan Chen Jia.

It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. But after thinking for a long time, Zhao Sheng still temporarily gave up the idea of ​​opening up new areas.

Speaking of which, opening up a new domain is not that easy. It is an extremely complex and time-consuming system project.

According to the old practice of Third Senior Brother Chen Bei, he needs to sit in the New Territory for at least several thousand years before he can initially consolidate the foundation of the New Territory.

Zhao Sheng has practiced cultivation for less than a thousand years in this life, and his cultivation has reached the realm of returning to the void.

If it had been thousands of years, he would have broken through to the Fusion Realm and opened up the Divine Palace and Cave Heaven. There would be no need to work hard to open up a new spiritual realm.

Therefore, for him, opening up new areas is a long-term chore with little profit, and it seems absolutely uneconomical.

"But... there is a place that would be quite suitable."

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Sheng suddenly muttered to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person disappeared from the secret room without a trace.

…

Boom, boom...

On the vast and boundless land, the mountains, rivers, soil and rocks are all black in color, and the darkness is cold and hard. The sky is covered with thick thunderclouds, dense thunder and lightning are shuttled through the clouds, and thunder rainbows like giant dragons and wild pythons strike from time to time.

Falling down, the further it extends into the depths of the earth, the denser and thicker the thunder in the clouds becomes.

When we reached the deepest part of the darkness, we could see the overwhelming thunder, pouring down like a torrent, as if the sky had collapsed.

Thunder in the depths of the sky was filled with brilliant colors, seven colors of red, orange, green, blue, yellow, purple and black thunder crashing down wildly, and pieces of almost liquefied crystal thunder slurry filled the void, which made people shudder to look at it.

This is the Dark Iron Thunder Domain, which is shrouded by endless thunder all year round, with an area of ​​nearly ten thousand miles, and the underground is covered with an unknown number of miles thick layer of spiritual iron ore.

And in the deepest part of the Black Iron Thunder Domain, there stands a jet-black iron mountain. This mountain is no more than a hundred feet high. It is bathed in a torrent of colorful thunder slurry all year round. The mountain has long been transformed into a wonder of heaven and earth, and it is not afraid of the thunder and thunder in the world.

At this moment, a figure suddenly sat cross-legged on the top of the Iron Mountain, and the torrent of thunder in the sky actually formed a huge funnel.

The infinite thunder slurry flows down the "funnel" and is all absorbed into the figure's body, as if there is a bottomless abyss hidden there that can never be filled.

Zhao Sheng has been in the Black Iron Thunder Territory for ten years. Every second of every day, endless thunder power is crazily poured into his body. He enjoys the pleasure of soaring his cultivation level all the time.

There are countless returning half-immortals in the Taisu spiritual world, but almost no one dares to be as crazy as him. If ordinary people practice like this, they will either be exploded by super-charged thunder, or they will go crazy and die.

Zhao Sheng's ten years of crazy hard training is almost equivalent to others' thousands of years of training.

The results are naturally extremely satisfying.

In just ten years, his cultivation level has skyrocketed to the second stage of returning to the void, his golden flesh and jade bone body is nearly one-third complete, and his lifespan has also skyrocketed to 39,800 years.

"Hey, what is that?"

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly he let out a startled sound, and a dazzling light of lightning bloomed in his eyes.

There was a flash of lightning, and his figure instantly disappeared from the sky above Tieshan.

The next moment, his figure appeared out of thin air above the clouds.

Zhao Sheng looked surprised, looking down at the land below, with a dazzling look between his brows.

As his gaze swept across the land below, a mighty and majestic spiritual thought enveloped the mountains and rivers within a radius of three thousand miles.

After ten days of hard training, his will and spiritual thoughts gradually merged with the surrounding environment, and he vaguely reached the state of unity between nature and man.

It was precisely because the gods merged with heaven and earth that Zhao Sheng faintly sensed something was wrong.

It seems that there is some unknown existence under this land, which is always secretly affecting this vast mountains and rivers, and is even the source of this minefield.

Zhao Sheng hung high in the sky, his spiritual thoughts and will fields both expanded to the limit, and he carefully scanned the mountains and rivers within a radius of three thousand miles.

His spiritual thoughts gradually penetrated deep into the earth, slowly penetrating the spiritual iron ore layer that was unknown many miles away, and the expression on his face gradually became more wonderful.

"This...this is..."

Zhao Sheng looked extremely shocked, his eyes widened as he looked at the huge ravine stretching for thousands of miles below, and he was so shocked that he stuttered.

The next second, veins popped out on his forehead, and his figure expanded rapidly, turning into a thirty-six-year-old thunder giant in the blink of an eye.

"rise..."

"stand up..."

"Here, I...come out!"

Three loud roars in a row, each one louder than the last, suppressed the thunder in the sky for a moment!

Boom, boom...

At this moment, the mountains and rivers three thousand miles away were suddenly shaken, the void shook, and the color of the sky and the earth changed.

The black earth quickly cracked and collapsed, and the huge ravines stretching for thousands of miles suddenly burst out of countless spectacular air currents. Massive amounts of ore and sand rose into the sky, instantly setting off a storm of smoke and dust in the sky.

In the vast haze and dust, a huge black shadow slowly rose from the ravine to the ground, and then rose up into the sky little by little.

Zhao Sheng's face was pale, and he exhaled repeatedly with a ferocious expression, as if he was under extremely heavy pressure. Thousands of thunder lights lingering around him spread to the void hundreds of miles around him.

Thousands of miles of void are all encompassed by a huge "force field".

"Small!"

"Small!"

"Small!"

As three loud roars resounded through the sky, countless colorful thunderbolts were seen bombarding the huge black shadow, almost drowning it.

Under the constant bombardment of thunder in the sky, the size of the black shadow continued to shrink visibly to the naked eye, and the surface gradually faded away from darkness, revealing streaks of silvery white brilliance.

The thunderous bombardment lasted for a full day and night, and the originally huge black shadow had revealed its true face.

At this moment, colorful thunder is lingering in the void, and a silver-white ring is floating in the sea of ​​thunder. The ring seems to be only about a foot in size, but its true weight is far beyond the imagination of the world.

The surface of the silver ring is full of pits and cracks, as if it had been severely damaged a long time ago and had almost lost its spirituality.

It is almost unimaginable that this small silver-white ring can be thousands of miles in size when enlarged to the limit.

And it may be the "culprit" that caused the formation of this minefield.

If it weren't for the unity of heaven and man, if it weren't for the original spiritual consciousness being accidentally touched. If it weren't for him comprehending the divine thunder of metal, he would be particularly sensitive to the fluctuations of the laws of metal and thunder.

Without these coincidences, he would never have discovered the existence of this thing.

Thinking like this, Zhao Sheng paid more attention to the silver-white ring. Both his spiritual thoughts and will fell on it, and he took it back into his palm little by little.

Although the level of this item is unknown, and although it is temporarily difficult to refine, this item can be said to be his biggest gain from this practice.
