Tianyou and Xiaotong have also made good progress during this period. Xiaotong has broken through to the third level of Qi refining. Tianyou is even more unexpected, breaking through to the fourth level of Qi refining in one fell swoop. This kind of growth makes Du Pangpang feel ashamed. He is afraid that he will not be able to use it if he doesn't work hard.
How long will it take before Tianyou's strength will surpass that of his uncle?
Lin Mingyuan arranged everything properly, and studied the mountain-protecting formation with the three people, and then left the sect hall with confidence. He was curious in his heart, what kind of secrets were buried under Qingyun Sect, and what was behind the stone gate?
The spiritual consciousness in the late stage of Jindan gradually spread and enveloped the entire Qingyun Sect. Lin Mingyuan was sensitive to the strange fluctuations. There were obscure spiritual power fluctuations in a cliff in the back mountain.
Lin Mingyuan's figure flickered, leaving an afterimage on the spot. The next moment, he appeared in front of the cliff at the back of the mountain and looked at the environment carefully.
The concentration of spiritual energy around him was very ordinary, but Lin Mingyuan felt a little different at the cliff. It seemed that something was suppressed under the cliff, giving people a dull feeling.
He pulled out his green sword and slashed it on the cliff. Countless gravels spilled out under the sword energy, and a gap was instantly opened in the hard cliff.
"Huh?"
Lin Mingyuan's expression changed, because an incredible scene appeared in front of him. Originally, with his sword energy, he could easily break through any kind of rock, but the cliff in front of him was different.
Qingjian seemed to have encountered some obstacles when opening up the cliff, and could no longer move forward. Lin Mingyuan withdrew the green sword, came to the hole that was opened in front of the cliff, and gently put his hand up.
It's cold when you hold it, and it doesn't feel like a stone at all, but more like a piece of jade, with not a single scratch left on it.
Lin Mingyuan frowned slightly. There must be a lot of things inside the cliff that even his own cultivation at the Golden Core Stage could not break, but how to enter?
His eyes fell on an indentation on the cliff, he thought for a moment and took out a jade token from his arms.
This jade token is completely gray, and is actually very similar to the color of the cliff. It is the leader's talisman that Lin Mingyuan got from the old sect leader after he took over the Qingyun Sect. He originally thought it was just a token of the Qingyun Sect, but he didn't expect it to be used here.
superior.
The jade tablet was placed into the cliff, and it fit together instantly, but there was still no movement. Lin Mingyuan injected another spiritual power into it and waited quietly.
Sure enough, at the moment when the spiritual power was injected into the jade tablet, the cliff reacted, the ground shook slightly, and the surrounding rocks made a tooth-gripping sound. A crack suddenly appeared on the originally smooth stone wall, and slowly appeared in front of Lin Mingyuan.
Expand.
There is no light behind the stone door. The sunlight shining in seems to be swallowed up, making it appear bottomless and everything is weird.
Lin Mingyuan could feel that there was a restriction deep in the stone gate, suppressing something. He took steps to enter the stone gate and took the leader's talisman back into his arms.
Dark and humid.
All light was swallowed up by darkness. Fortunately, Lin Mingyuan's spiritual consciousness was powerful and he could barely explore the surroundings under the restriction.
Behind the door are endless stone steps, with no end in sight all the way down.
Lin Mingyuan concentrated his mind and slowly moved his steps downwards. An ominous feeling enveloped him, as if some force was hindering him.
Click——
The sole of his foot seemed to hit something, and there was a soft sound. Lin Mingyuan looked into it with his mind, but saw a horrifying scene.
A white skeleton was lying in the corner. The bones on it had weathered and turned into powder under Lin Mingyuan's touch.
His posture was very weird, without any struggle, as if he was trying to crawl toward the exit.
Lin Mingyuan noticed the cloth left on the ground. The patterns on it were clearly in the style of the Taoist robes worn by the old master of the Qingyun Sect.
Could it be that this person was the previous sect master of Qingyun Sect, because only those with the sect master's talisman can enter it.
Looking around, white bones appear one after another. The marks on their bodies indicate the identity of each other. They are all seniors of the Qingyun Sect, but their cultivation levels have not exceeded the Golden Core stage.
Lin Mingyuan already had a guess in his mind. Before each Qingyun leader left office, he would hand over the command talisman to the next leader, tell him the secret, and go to the cave in person. It was the old sect leader's turn to suddenly be seriously injured.
, he drove Hexian away without having time to explain. Tianyou and Xiaotong were young, so of course they didn’t know the allusions of Qingyun Sect. It wasn’t until Lin Mingyuan broke through the Golden Core stage that they discovered that it was unusual.
I heard from Tianyou that the Qingyun Sect was once a first-rate sect, and there were even great masters at the Nascent Soul stage in the sect. However, it suddenly declined overnight and all the masters disappeared. It was really strange.
Thinking of the sealed spiritual power of Qingyun Sect, Lin Mingyuan's expression became more determined. No matter what dragon, pond, or tiger's den lay ahead, he had to understand the mystery. Thinking about it, these previous sect masters took the initiative to enter the stone gate when their life span was approaching, hoping to help Qingyun.
The door is unsealed.
However, their cultivation level was too low, and the bones all over the ground proved their countless failures, and their talents have withered until today.
If Lin Mingyuan hadn't come, I'm afraid Qingyun Sect would have been annexed by the Langya Sect and its incense would have been completely cut off.
After settling his mind, Lin Mingyuan continued to move forward. The endless stone steps seemed to have no end in sight. No matter how Lin Mingyuan accelerated his pace, he still did not reach the end.
I don't know how much time passed, but Lin Mingyuan felt a little tired, and he became wary.
It is normal for ordinary people to feel tired, but Lin Mingyuan is a golden elixir stage monk. It is impossible for his body to become tired in just a few hours, unless there is something weird about the stone steps!
Lin Mingyuan cheered up and moved slowly.
Nothing changed around him, it was dark and cold, but Lin Mingyuan noticed a white mark on the stone steps.
This is?
The ashes from when you first entered Shimen?!
Lin Mingyuan's heart froze, and he finally felt the strangeness of the stone steps. After walking around for several hours, he actually returned to the starting point.
It was obvious that the stone steps continued downward, but he was spinning in circles. No wonder so many sect masters eventually turned into bones here.
They were not killed by evildoers, but were trapped in the stone gate and fell into an endless cycle, until their longevity was exhausted and they died here of old age!
Two words instantly appeared in Lin Mingyuan's mind.
