"Has it been a thousand years?" The woman in red looked at the two of them with confused eyes and said, "You... are mortals, right?"
Yan Qing's eyes widened. This woman looked weird and had no breath. It was too weird. And the meaning behind her words...
"Could it be that you are an immortal?" she asked tentatively.
"Me?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I'm not an immortal."
Just as Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, the woman tilted her head and said, "I am the master's fairy pet."
"Immortal pet?" Yan Qing's expression changed. She thought of Jin Mang's similar person in the cave. According to Jin Mang, that should also be an immortal pet.
"Then you are..."
The woman stretched out her finger and slowly pointed at the creek: "I was originally a red carp there. Three thousand years ago, I suddenly opened up my spiritual wisdom. When my master saw that I was smart, he gave me guidance on how to practice. Two thousand years ago, I was able to do it for the first time.
Transformation."
The woman lowered her gaze and suddenly became sad: "But a thousand years ago, the master suddenly said that this place was going to collapse. He wanted to find the Three Life Stones to fill it. He told me that after sleeping for a thousand years, I could see the master again."
As the woman narrated, the water in the stream suddenly boiled, and the surrounding spiritual energy became chaotic. Yan Qing had no choice but to protect Rong Che.
"So, you have been sleeping for a thousand years?" Yan Qing asked quickly, interrupting the woman's mood.
"Ah?" The woman was confused for a moment, then nodded, "It must have been a thousand years...otherwise I wouldn't have woken up, and there wouldn't have been so many...mortals coming in here."
The woman suddenly raised her head and glanced at Rong Che, waving to him, and Rong Che flew over involuntarily.
The woman stared at him for a long time, frowned and said: "You can actually carry the soul of a demon king!"
Soul?
Yan Qingzheng asked quickly: "You said he has the soul of the Demon King in his body? It's just the soul?"
The woman was very surprised: "Of course it's the soul, otherwise how can it be possessed! But... it can make the possessed demon king so quiet... I understand, the demon king must be injured!"
Rong Che lowered his gaze and said, "Is there a way to make him leave my body?"
The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Why should I tell you?"
Rong Che said: "That stone table just now..."
When he said this, Yan Qingzheng had already flown back to the pavilion, his fingers hanging an inch above the pattern of the stone table.
The two of them had such a tacit understanding, which obviously made the woman feel a little at a loss. Perhaps she had been asleep for too long and couldn't turn her mind around for a while. She forgot that she was not even a little bit higher than the two of them in cultivation, so she just said urgently: "Don't
!Don’t touch it, I said!”
Seeing that her anxiety was not fake, Yan Qing thought for a moment and retracted her hand, but still stayed at the stone table.
"We don't mean to offend, but this matter is really important to us. Please speak up."
The woman sighed, glanced at Rong Che, and said, "If you die, he can leave your body."
Rong Che's eyes flickered, but before he could say anything, Yan Qingzheng said firmly: "No! He can't die."
The woman spread her hands: "Then there is nothing we can do."
Just as Yan Qing heard the words, he put his fingers on the pattern of the stone table again. The woman looked at her fingers nervously and said hurriedly: "I said, I said!"
The woman took a deep breath and reluctantly said: "The devil only has his soul left, and he is still possessed by mortals, which shows that he is very weak, and even mortals can bear his soul. So we only need to prepare a spiritual power for him
With his powerful physical body, he will definitely abandon this mortal body and immediately possess the powerful physical body."
"But, where can we find a powerful physical body?"
"Just find a person with advanced cultivation and seal his soul!"
"But isn't that equivalent to killing that person?"
The woman smiled disdainfully: "I want to be possessed by the devil, but I don't want to hurt other people's lives! Nothing in the world is so cheap!"
Yan Qing said righteously: "Is there no other way besides this?"
"Yes!" The woman chuckled, "Give the Demon King enough spiritual power to restore his soul and reshape his body, and he can break the barriers of space and return to the Demon Realm!"
"How much spiritual power is needed?"
"Spiritual power is easy to say. The spiritual power in this secret realm can be supplied, but... it is a bit difficult to reshape the physical body. I'm afraid you won't want to see that day."
"How to say?"
"I took a look. The possessed demon king should be at the level of a demon king. Reshaping the body requires at least the flesh and blood of a living being from one world. With your pretentious temperament, you are not willing to sacrifice anyone, let alone a living being from one world.
!" The woman smiled sarcastically.
Yan Qingzheng said: "We just stick to our principles."
The woman tilted her head and thought for a while, and actually agreed.
"That's right. Stick to your own principles and no one else can care about you..."
Rong Che was completely desperate. It seemed that he would never be able to get rid of this devil in his life. But just when the woman said that the devil would leave if she died, Yan Qing said resolutely that she could not let herself die.
He blurted it out without hesitation, which made him feel warm in his heart.
She still cares about him.
"But Rong Che is just a mortal. He will die eventually. Then will the devil find someone else to possess him?" Yan Qing was just thinking about this possibility, and her heart ached for some reason.
"No...how could a mortal possessed by the Demon Lord die? The Demon Lord would not watch him die." The woman shook her head.
"However, mortals will experience birth, old age, illness and death..."
"As long as the demon king's soul is immortal and no other body can be found, the possessed mortal will never die."
Yan Qing was looking at Rong Che, who was also looking at her.
For a moment, the two of them were in such complicated moods that they could not speak.
"Then...can he practice?"
"Yes, but the higher the level of cultivation, the longer the Demon Lord will be awake. What the Demon Lord will do when he is awake...no one can guarantee that."
Yan Qingzheng is not discouraged. The woman in front of her has only opened her spiritual wisdom for three thousand years, and she has been sleeping for another one thousand years. Things that she thinks she can't do may not necessarily be impossible for others.
Rong Che also stood beside Yan Qingzheng at this time.
He didn't understand the world of cultivating immortals, so he was always quiet.
Yan Qingzheng also knew that he shouldn't be immersed in thinking at this time. This woman appeared out of nowhere, but she didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He might as well ask her about some things.
"I don't know what to call you?" She said that she was a fairy pet, but her cultivation level was very high, so she didn't know what to call you for a while.
"Hmm..." The woman seemed not to have thought about this problem. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Master calls me Xiaohong... but you can just call me Hongli."
"Senior Hongli, which immortal's cave is this?" Yan Qing asked.
"I don't know. I haven't left that creek since I became intelligent. I don't know what the owner is called outside."
Yan Qingzheng and Rong Che looked at each other, and to be honest, they were both a little disappointed.
However, the red carp answered all the subsequent questions.
There are indeed many people living in this secret realm, including mortals, immortals and spiritual pets, and these people in this secret realm all serve the master of the secret realm. The mortals plant spiritual plants, clean the palace, and serve the master, and the immortals make elixirs for the master.
, refining weapons, managing secret realms, and sometimes leaving secret realms to run errands, while spiritual pets usually go out to fight.
Rong Che suddenly remembered the cave and asked, "Does your master have a spiritual pet of a giant python?"
"You said Nine Snakes... that's right. But in the end it left with its master and never came back."
"The ones we left together a thousand years ago?"
"Yes, it came to see me before it left. It seemed like it knew that there was a narrow escape from death. It was very pessimistic."
"Then do you know how to get out of here?"
"Want to go out?" Hong Li asked, tilting her head. She seemed to like this action very much and often tilted her head.
"Of course, we just came in to take a look, and we always have to leave."
"I don't know about this. I have never been out. But wouldn't it be good for you to stay here? The spiritual energy here is abundant and there are no foreign enemies."
"We still have things to do when we go out."
"You can't get out."
Yan Qing was anxious and said quickly: "You can leave any secret realm, it just depends on the length of time."
Hong Li shook his head and said: "I don't know what it's like outside, but the master said that the exit in the secret realm is some kind of hall, and you need a token to get out."
"But we don't need a token to come in?" Rong Che said.
"That must be because you are on the teleportation array, but the teleportation array is one-way to prevent people here from escaping."
Yan Qing was stunned.
At the same time, Pei Xing and Jin Mang also encountered trouble. They were trapped in the underground palace and could not find a way out.
Pei Xing and Jin Mang's cultivation is considered to be at the top of the space, but they still encounter obstacles in this secret realm. The two of them also made some gains, but there is no news at all about the Soul-Retracing Grass that Pei Xing is obsessed with.
Seeing that they couldn't get out, the two of them were not in a hurry. Pei Xing found a corner and sat down against the wall. Jin Mang found a clean place and took out the demon crystal. His eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
What.
She tried many methods, but it was still difficult for her to absorb the power of the demon crystal. After all, such a large demon crystal was beyond her ability.
However, she is not greedy, she only absorbs a little bit every day, and her cultivation level is steadily improving.
But Pei Xing didn't have any demon crystals, so he took out the spirit stones he had packed earlier and started practicing slowly.
The two of them were practicing and banging around, hoping to find a way out. The underground palace was also very large, but strangely there was no furniture at all, and it was so empty and cramped.
"I wonder how Xiao Qinger and her little lover are doing..." Jin Mang guessed with a smile when he was free.
Pei Xing frowned and said: "There are institutions everywhere here. Even if we can't get out, they may not be able to get better. So don't expect them to save us. If we can't find a way out, we can only hope that our realm will be improved enough to break this restriction.
Already."
"Then it will take years and years to go!" Jin Mang sneered, "These people have to believe in fate. I think those two people are very lucky, and they may have adventures!"
"You are just wishful thinking!" Pei Xing shook his head, his patience almost collapsed.
They had been locked up in the underground palace for more than a year, and he had almost given up hope.
Jin Mang took a deep breath and her eyes dimmed. She didn't know that hope was slim...
Suddenly, in the dark underground palace, in the open space in the center of the hall, an array with a light blue glow suddenly appeared.
"Teleportation array!" The two exclaimed, and immediately stood up and ran over. No matter where it was, it was better than here!
