After hearing what Ji Lai said, Liang Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, since Liang has been involved, what's the harm in cooperating with Brother Ji again? But I don't know where this opportunity is yet. Can Brother Ji make it clear?"
Ji Lai smiled slightly and said: "How can it be so easy to detect the birth of a strange treasure in advance? Even the ancestor of Huajie among the four major families can only vaguely guess the approximate location and time when the opportunity will appear. Even this opportunity
It’s impossible to guess what it is, so naturally we have to rely on ourselves to find the specific location.”
"this"
Liang Yan frowned and said: "The Senluo Secret Realm is so big, and there is a vast and boundless foggy area. If we don't have a target, wouldn't we be looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Brother Liang, there is no need to worry."
Ji Lai's face showed a confident look, and he took out a palm-sized disk from his sleeve.
Liang Yan took a closer look and saw many beads the size of rice grains in the disk. They were dotted in various shapes and colors, making them look mysterious and unpredictable.
"This is a secret treasure given by my master. It can help us track the location of the rare treasure."
After talking about the plan, he smiled and said: "Actually, it's not just us. There must be experts in the four major families who are good at deduction and calculation. Otherwise, the Su family would not be able to search for Brother Liang in the vast secret realm.
position."
"I see."
Liang Yan took a deep breath, looked at the disk in Ji Lai's hand, and said lightly: "It seems that this rare treasure has not yet appeared, otherwise the people of the Su family would not be entangled with Liang here, I am afraid it would have been already
Came over."
"good!"
Ji Lai nodded and said: "The most important thing for us now is to seize the time to explore the secret realm. If we can reach the vicinity of the place where the exotic treasure is, my compass will sense it, and then we can take the lead."
It’s a chance.”
"Okay, without further ado, let's set off now!"
After hearing Liang Yan's urging, Ji Lai smiled slightly, then raised his hand and waved, and the four masked men in the woods moved at the same time and landed behind him.
"let's go!"
Over the next thirty days, Liang Yan followed Ji Lai and others to explore the Senluo Secret Realm.
The entire Senluo Secret Realm is vast and boundless. The four major families and the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce have only developed a small part of the area, and there are still large areas of territory that have not been explored.
During this period, they also encountered two Thunder Sound Nine Flame Wolves, but they didn't have the slightest interest in these beasts, so they avoided them whenever they could.
Liang Yan could not release Li Xiaosong in front of everyone, so he could only choose to ignore it.
Fortunately, Li Xiaosong has already devoured nine Thunder Sound Nine Flame wolves, and now he no longer clamors to hunt the demon wolves. Instead, he stays quietly in the wooden house, wondering if he is in retreat to attack the bottleneck.
This group of six people searched in the Senluo Secret Realm for more than a month. Although they encountered occasional dangers during this period, they were able to resolve most of them easily.
In the early morning of this day, Ji Lai, who was originally picking spiritual herbs and elixirs, suddenly felt something in his heart. He took off the disk from his waist and put it in front of him to observe it carefully.
Seeing several of the stars begin to move slowly, Ji Lai's eyes narrowed slightly.
He pinched the fingers of his left hand to calculate silently, while his right hand continued to type out several spells. The stars in the disk began to flicker in and out as he cast spells, and finally formed a specific hexagram.
"From small to large, there is inner yang and outer yin. This is a dragon in the wild, dominating the southeast!"
Ji Lai murmured in his mouth, glanced at the southeast location a few times, and suddenly raised his hand to punch a few spells into the disc.
As this magic formula was played, the disk of stars suddenly brightened, and countless rice-sized beads bloomed, just like the vast sea of stars in the dark night.
"It's done!"
Ji Lai's eyes lit up and he said with great joy: "The exotic treasure is about to be born, and it will be in the southeast, less than 800 miles away from where we are!"
After hearing this, everyone present was slightly excited. One of the masked men said in a low voice: "There won't be any problems with the results of your divination this time, right?"
Ji Lai first showed a hint of embarrassment, then patted his chest, pretending to be confident.
"Thirty-six auspicious stars are shining together. This time it is absolutely true and there will never be any mistakes! A strange treasure is about to appear in the world. I will rush there now!"
"Okay, since you are so sure, let's go now."
The masked man nodded, without saying anything more, turned around and used the escape light together with the others, and flew in the direction pointed by Ji Lai.
Liang Yan naturally followed behind everyone. In fact, he was not too eager to compete for this opportunity. In comparison, he was more concerned about Su Yan's life and death.
Ever since the battle at Black Wind Mountain, this woman had tried every possible means to kill Liang Yan, and she had caused him huge crises both times.
For the first time, he used the "Blood Cloud Branch" that he needed most as bait, and had a Tongxuan realm monk to help him. If he hadn't been cautious by nature, and happened to get Qian Yexue's warning, he would have been dead.
The second time not long ago, five people from the Su family besieged him. He was also unable to fight alone and was almost forced to use his sword pill.
If he and Su Yan were just fighting for opportunities before, but after these two times, they were already fighting to the death. If she was allowed to walk out of the secret realm alive, she might secretly plot against him in the future.
This time the four major families are competing for the rare treasure. Liang Yan wants to see if he can fish in troubled waters and get rid of this girl secretly, which can be regarded as removing a thorn in his heart. Even if he does not get the opportunity in the end, it is still considered a failure.
It’s a waste of time.
Liang Yan followed Ji Lai and the four members of the Murong family, and soon flew through the forests and entered a vast swamp.
"Be careful, this is not a place we have explored before, but an area that has been exposed again after the poisonous gas receded." Among the four members of the Murong family, a tall man said slowly.
"So that's it. It seems that the place where this opportunity appeared is the part of the area that was previously hidden in the mist and poisonous gas. No wonder no one discovered the last meeting between Senluo and Luo." Another monk from the Murong family said, although his voice
A little hoarse and vague, but she seems to be a female nun.
"It's not that simple."
Ji Lai shook his head and said: "Whenever an opportunity arises, there must be some reason. Even if people from the four major families found this place twenty years ago, they would never gain anything."
"Huh, I just hope you didn't make a mistake in your calculation."
The last short monk of the Murong family snorted coldly and said: "According to the ancestor's instructions, we are just trying our best to help you fight for the rare treasure, but there is no guarantee that you will get it. The final result depends on you.
Luck!"
After hearing this, Ji Lai chuckled and said, "Just do your best in everything. If Ji fails to do what you want in the end, I will never blame you fellow Taoists."
"Humph, that's good if you know!"
The short Murong monk from before seemed not to have a friendly relationship with Ji Lai, so he just left these words and said no more.
Liang Yan looked at it and felt a little strange in his heart, but soon he heard Ji Lai's voice coming from behind:
"Hey, this man's name is Murong Tuo, and he is Ji's love rival. Although he is a little dissatisfied with me, his behavior is quite upright and he will not defect in the face of battle. Brother Liang can rest assured."
After hearing this, Liang Yan suddenly understood and thought to himself: "It seems that Murong Xuewei has returned to her home from Nanchui. This plan looks like a playboy, but she didn't expect that this time she would be so infatuated and follow Murong all the way."
Come home."
It was related to other people's private matters, so Liang Yan didn't want to ask any more questions. At this time, he just nodded slightly and followed him with his escaping light.
After a few people entered the vast swamp, they flew not long before they saw the water flow in front of them suddenly become stronger, and a giant wave a hundred feet high was set off, which seemed to knock everyone under the water.
The six people present were all at the Golden Core Realm, so naturally they would not be frightened by such a strange sight. At this time, they each used a spell to break the huge waves that hit them.
"What a rich spiritual energy. It seems that the place where opportunity appears is here!" A monk from the Murong family couldn't help but say.
"Look!"
Another monk suddenly pointed at the water surface, and everyone looked down in the direction he pointed.
On the surface of the Daze River not far away, a strong wind suddenly blew out of thin air, and the water flow became more and more rapid, actually forming a vortex in place.
Waves of extremely rich spiritual energy erupted from the vortex, like a volcano erupting, and it was out of control.
These spiritual energies slowly unfolded in mid-air and turned into colorful auspicious clouds, as if they were welcoming something.
"Something's coming out!"
At this moment, such an idea came into everyone's mind. Before they could think about it carefully, they heard a dull sound suddenly coming from under the water.
Rumble!
I saw the vortex getting bigger and bigger. At first it was no bigger than a small island, but now it has a radius of a hundred miles. As far as everyone can see, it is no longer a vast ocean, but a bottomless black hole.
At the same time, a green mountaintop slowly poked out from the black hole.
"not good!"
Everyone present was shocked, because the moment the mountain appeared, everyone's escape light disappeared, and they fell neatly from the mid-air.
"There are air restrictions around this mountain peak!"
Liang Yan understood it instantly and hurriedly ran the magic formula to cover his whole body with protective golden light.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of sounds came, but they were the sounds of people falling into the ground.
After a while, the surrounding ground loosened, and Liang Yan, Ji Lai, and several people from the Murong family jumped out of the ground one after another.
At this moment, what was displayed in front of them was a huge mountain with no end in sight, with green vegetation and trees on the mountain, creating a vibrant scene.
And their location is at the foot of this mountain peak.
After Liang Yan came out of the underground, his first reaction was to release his spiritual consciousness and look around.
However, he was surprised to find that his consciousness could only see a distance of less than a hundred feet around him. If he tried to explore further, he would be blocked by an invisible force.
There was a hint of surprise in Liang Yan's eyes. Looking at Ji Lai and several other people from the Murong family, it was obvious that they had also discovered this.
"This place is very strange. Our spiritual senses can only see within a hundred feet." A monk from the Murong family was the first to speak.
"Yes, it seems that this opportunity is not so easy to come by. It is best to be careful in everything and never act alone." Ji Lai said with a solemn expression.
Liang Yan's eyes were looking forward at this moment, and he saw a mountain road winding down from the mountain peak. Many places in the middle were covered with weeds, and the end position was right in front of him and others.
"Does this mountain road lead directly to the top of the mountain?"
Liang Yan looked at the top of the mountain hidden in the colorful auspicious clouds and murmured.
Ji Lai took a step forward and stood side by side with him, looking at the top of the mountain together.
"We have to hurry up. When I just fell from the sky, I saw that there is more than one road leading to the top of the mountain. The other three major families should have arrived at this time. If they get there first, we will lose the opportunity."
Ji Lai said slowly.
Everyone present nodded slightly, and without too much hesitation, they climbed up the stone steps in front of them.
This mountain road was winding and winding. Every time they went up a step, there was an invisible force pressing on them, as if they were preventing everyone from going up the mountain.
Originally, with Liang Yan's physical strength, even if he could not fly in the air, he could climb a high mountain with only his legs.
But that was not the case now. Everyone present walked extremely slowly, and it took them most of the day just to get to the halfway point of the mountain.
"It's really evil!"
Among the crowd, a short monk from the Murong family suddenly shouted: "Why is this place so weird? There is obviously no powerful aura, but there is always an invisible pressure, as if it is everywhere."
Liang Yan glanced at him and remembered that Ji Lai had just said that this man's name was Murong Tuo.
There were already large beads of sweat on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly white. It was obvious that he was not feeling well under this invisible pressure.
In fact, it's not just him, everyone in the Murong family is having a hard time at the moment. They practice the supernatural power of the corpse path, and their abilities are all based on their own golden corpse. As for their own strength, they are average.
In contrast, Liang Yan has practiced "Eight Divisions of Evolution" for nearly a hundred years, and his physical strength far exceeds that of monks of the same level. At this moment, even without any magical powers, he can still resist this pressure, but he is walking a little slowly.
"Look, what is that?"
Another person in Murong's house shouted.
After hearing this, everyone stopped in unison and looked in the direction pointed by this person.
I saw a faint dark object in the grass on the right side of the mountain road, but it was blocked by the weeds, so I couldn't clearly see what it was.
Liang Yan let go of his consciousness, only to find that it was also blocked.
"what?"
A brave man in Murong's family released the golden corpse from the coffin behind him and asked him to come forward to check it on his behalf.
After the golden corpse walked to the roadside and pushed aside the grass, everyone saw clearly that it turned out to be a dead tree in the grass.
There are three words carved on the dead wood, exactly: "One foot of wood"!
"There's something over here too!"
Murong Tuo came to the left side of the mountain road, stretched out his hand to push aside the grass, and saw a stubborn stone on the left side of the mountain road. There were three words carved on the stone, which was: "Halfway Stone"!
