The group planned to return to the eighth floor of the secret palace.
Before leaving, Zhao Huaizhong turned his head and glanced at the bronze gate and bronze platform.
After the bronze door of the bronze platform was opened, the murderous aura quietly subsided and became silent.
But while Zhao Huaizhong was watching, ripples appeared in the blood pool on the bronze platform, and something moved in it.
Zhao Huaizhong narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and followed Zou Yan and Xunzi who opened the wall pattern and left the ninth floor.
When everyone returned to the eighth floor, they felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
On the ninth floor, I didn't actually encounter much danger, but there was an inexplicable pressure that filled my heart. After leaving the ninth floor, the pressure dropped sharply, which made people feel relieved inexplicably.
But what everyone didn't know was that after they left the ninth floor.
On the surface of the closed copper door, a breath seeped in and evolved into a small turtle, which stretched its neck and sniffed around the ninth floor for a while.
Finally, the turtle re-hidden into the space behind the copper door.
Everyone stopped for a while in the Eighth Floor Death Palace, then returned along the original route, preparing to leave the Secret Palace, while King Zhou returned to the coffin.
In the burial pit between the seventh and eighth floors of the secret palace, monsters are still absorbing the yin energy.
His body became more than ten feet tall, black energy surged, and the demonic shadow behind him became increasingly clear.
"With the increased power of this monster, this time out, it will be able to effectively contain the monster clan, and other plans can also be gradually launched..." Zhao Huaizhong thought.
The Yin Qi in the burial pit has become much thinner, and you can see more clearly that the burial pit is like a miniature world, with countless Yin soldiers as small as ants galloping and killing in it.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong held out a formation diagram in his hand, but it was Baiyao's killing formation diagram.
Baiyao was arranged by him to do other things, and the formation diagram was brought over.
Zhao Huaizhong planned to use the Yin soldiers in the burial pit to worship this formation and increase its power.
When the formation map appeared, driven by the power of Zhao Huaizhong, there were Yin soldiers in the burial pit who were captured by the formation map and transferred to the ancient battlefield on the formation map. They became a nutrient for the murderous intent of the formation map to rise. They were captured by the formation map.
Refining.
Time passes.
In the end, most of the Yin Qi in the burial pit was swallowed up by monsters, and some of the Yin soldiers were extracted and refined by the formation diagram.
The foundation under this burial pit is an immortal weapon array, which is integrated with the base of the entire Yin Shang Secret Palace.
When he first came in, there was an immortal weapon formation disk as the core at the bottom of the burial pit, and it was Ji Xian who saw it first.
The killing formation map collected nearly one-third of the Yin soldiers in the burial pit, and the immortal light overflowed from below, competing with the formation map.
Continuing to absorb it will cause the collision between the immortal weapon formation plate and the formation diagram, shaking the foundation of the entire secret palace.
At this stage, Zhao Huaizhong did not intend to do this. He accepted the formation map obediently, and the group left the secret palace and returned to Xianyang.

Demon ruins.
In the green pool of Kyushu, hazy scenes vaguely emerged, including the fleeting Secret Palace of Yin and Shang.
"Since I received the news from the clone last time, King Qin has sealed the entrance to the secret palace that I use...
At that time, he obviously deliberately asked the clone to send a message back, taking the opportunity to trace the location of my demon ruins, and at the same time find out the secret palace path used by the clone to send the message, and cut it off so that my demon clan can no longer enter or exit the secret palace."
The voice of Demon Lord Tianhu and Golden Crow talking:
"The secrets hidden deep in the secret palace may have been discovered by him. If he unlocks the ban, the qi of heaven and earth will change, and I am afraid that the previous environment of Kyushu will be restored, and it will be more difficult for our clan to plot the land of Middle Earth."
"There's still some time."
"Even if there is some time, we can't wait any longer..."
————
In the Xianyang Palace, Zou Yan and Xunzi each sat on a low seat, and Yu Gui also sat on the lower seat.
Everyone is waiting for Zhao Huaizhong to review what happened behind the bronze gate of the secret palace.
"Is the Kunlun Palace behind the bronze gate?"
Seeing Zhao Huaizhong's slow and silent expression, the two old saints asked first.
Yu Gui closed her eyes and listened on the side.
"In the chaos behind the copper gate, there is an ancient teleportation array.
King Zhou and I went in, and King Zhou knew how to open the array. After opening it, the location we were teleported to... was the Kunlun Palace!"
Zhao Huaizhong's face showed a look of reminiscence.
Although the Dharmakaya was not his own person, his consciousness was the same and there was no distinction between them. The Dharmakaya's situation at that time was equivalent to Zhao Huaizhong's personal experience:
"The situation in Kunlun Palace is very strange. As soon as we teleported there, we encountered a kind of guard who was between life and death. He had no vital signs but was conscious, like... a kind of 'living corpse'.
'He' found out that King Zhou and I had teleported over, and immediately killed him.
And the behemoth that carries the Kunlun Palace, the mythical beast Xuanwu, is definitely an existence beyond the level of a saint.
It separated out a ray of Qi and chased after it. The tooth marks on the bronze man's body were the wounds sustained by the Xuanwu formed by its Qi."
Zhao Huaizhong said: "The Tongren and I joined forces to withstand the offensive that pursued us. In the end, the other party took the initiative to retreat."
"When King Zhou and I first teleported outside the Kunlun Palace, we also found many strange beasts that looked like giant pythons swimming in the void, besieging the basalt beast that was burdening the Kunlun Palace.
The Kunlun Palace guards who were chasing us retreated probably because the situation in Kunlun Palace was critical and they were eager to retreat to join the battle."
Zou Yan said: "So, the Yin Shang Secret Palace is indeed connected to the Kunlun Palace."
"Well, through the teleportation array, you can teleport and appear outside Kunlun Palace." Zhao Huaizhong's eyes flashed and he gave a positive reply.
Zou Yan: "I have a new guess.
I remember that before ancient times, some legends and ancient books said that our continent was divided into nine states and was much larger than it is now.
Today's Middle-earth is only one of the original Nine States, and it is only the core part of the Middle-earth China.
Since ancient times, the Kyushu Continent suddenly disappeared. There is also news that the disintegrated Kyushu Continent turned into countless caves.
But I have always believed that there may be another hidden reason for the disappearance of the real Nine Provinces continent. This hidden reason is closely related to our land of Middle-earth, and it is also closely related to the Yin Shang Secret Palace and Kunlun Palace that have revolved around the Middle-earth China for thousands of years."
Historically, Zou Yan, a Yin-Yang master, also mentioned the theory of the division of land into nine states by means of deduction.
Xunzi said: "You mean, the Kunlun Palace and the Yin-Shang Secret Palace hide the secrets of the disappeared continent of Kyushu?
Just because the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang and the Kunlun Palace are connected with each other and revolve around China, it is not credible."
Zou Yan rolled his sleeves and said: "Deduced a law that reflects the movement of the sky. I once deduced the number of digits corresponding to the stars. The earth should have nine states. I can't explain this to you clearly."
Xunzi ignored him: "What did King Qin get in the blood pool in the secret palace? Maybe he can find more secrets from it."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded and took out the treasured money.
On the copper coin, a faint light flickered, and the wing patterns and incantations imprinted on the front and back glowed at the same time.
The two wings flapped slightly, and ripples in the void around the copper coins were seen, and four things fell out one after another.
One of them is a black armor, surrounded by fairy light.
It was when he first entered the eighth floor of the Palace of Death that one of the several immortal artifacts that rose from the six coffins was the most valuable property of the Yin and Shang dynasties.
The other thing is a "molybdenum" (zi), a closed tripod unique to the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
This thing was fished out of the blood pool, and the smell it spread showed that it was a near-immortal ancient artifact.
There is also a bronze long sword.
The last thing left was a green bead as big as a fist.
A total of four treasures were scraped down, as well as a few artifacts obtained from outside the blood pool. They were all sacrificial artifacts. They were not of high grade and could not be considered a harvest.
Molybdenum and copper Ge are both near-immortal ancient artifacts.
The armor has fairy weapon fluctuations, but it is very weak. It can be regarded as an artifact that is barely worthy of being a fairy weapon.
Zhao Huaizhong's eyes fell on the faint green bead.
A ray of light flowed from his hand, refining the bead like a flame, refining the blood contained on its surface.
Then he picked up the beads.
After entering the ninth floor of the secret palace and approaching the bronze platform, Zhao Huaizhong once stood on the shoulders of the bronze man, activated his magic power, and saw the truth. He saw that the bead was treasure money, brushed from a corpse among the corpses in the blood pool.
.
It was also after the beads were brushed off that the light flowing on the bronze platform became weaker.
Zhao Huaizhong suspected that the remains in the middle of the blood pool were the ancestors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties mentioned by King Zhou - Qi.
He is a mythical figure, and his elder brother is Yao, one of the Five Emperors.
According to legend, Hou Yi, who pulled out the sun, was just a fierce general under Yao. Yao's daughter is more famous, and her sister married Shun's Ehuang Nüying together.
As for the master of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it is said that his mother swallowed the egg of a black bird and gave birth to him. He was born with magical powers and was the most powerful in his era.
After his death, his body was placed in the middle of the six coffins in the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang, and the bead was held in his mouth.
When Zhao Huaizhong held the bead in his hand and pushed magic power into it, he saw scenes of images reflected in the bead, which were the secrets of ancient times.
In the picture reflected by the beads, there is the Kunlun Palace, and some scenes that are suspected of being in the real immortal world... The most special one is the picture of a huge old turtle dragging a continent away and disappearing into the chaos.
And on Xuanwu's back, there were figures that looked like immortals, overlooking the world.
Immediately afterwards, one, two, three, four, a total of four old turtles appeared one after another, each carrying a continent on their backs, and wandered into the void.
The mirror image in the bead is constantly changing, and what appears seems to be some secret about the changes in continental displacement in ancient times.
Zhao Huaizhong, Xunzi, Zou Yan, Yu Gui, and Xin Wu standing on one side looked at each other with blank faces.
"The beads show four old turtles, all of them are Xuanwu mythical beasts?
Are there so many Xuanwu in the world?"
"What you are talking about is not the point. According to ancient legend, the earth is divided into four poles, and Xuanwu corresponds to the four directions. It is not surprising that there are four Xuanwu.
The four Xuanwu in this picture are dragging the mainland away...what do they mean?"
After following Zhao Huaizhong, several years passed, and Xin Wu, who had no more than ten lines, interjected: "Is it possible that in ancient times, the scene in the picture really happened, and the immortals worked together to push the ancient continent to separate."
Zou Yan: "The picture in the bead may imply a means of sealing the four poles of the earth."
"seal?"
"Well, I haven't seen all the mysteries, so I have to think about it again." Zou Yan said thoughtfully.
Soon after, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.
In Xianyang Palace, Zhao Huaizhong held the bead in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Others had no chance to touch the bead and did not notice that in the middle of the chaotic aura churning inside the bead, there was a miniature cauldron rising and falling.
"After this time, the things in the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang have been basically emptied. The remaining few items have to be kept by King Zhou. He is too pitiful to take any more."
Zhao Huaizhong sensed the empty gourd again.
The monster has swallowed a large amount of yin energy and refined it in the gourd. After about a few days, it can be released to attack the monster clan.
In the evening, Fan Qingzhou sent a piece of information about the battle between Qin and Chu:
"On the western front to attack Chu, General Lian Po's troops have gained an advantage along the way.
The confrontation between the two armies on the Eastern Front was fierce, and not only on the battlefield, but also secretly, there were many confrontations between the people of the Chu people, Mo Mansion, and our Ye Yu Mansion."
"There has been no new news from the team that entered the Chu realm in the past two days."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded. After Fan Qingzhou left, he also left Xianyang Palace and came to a palace.
At the right time, when night falls, the temple is lit with lanterns and colorful decorations.
In the bedroom of the palace, there sat a beautiful woman in wedding clothes, with slender and plump legs, a delicate appearance, and a hint of charm in her shyness.
