It took Xu Qing some time to finally recover his consumed energy.
But the heaviness in my heart still weighs down like a huge rock.
Why did something exactly like the Six Dings and Six Jias appear in the Kuroshio?
What exactly are those things?
Why did they attack the old man?
I can’t figure it out! I can’t figure it out!
Countless thoughts emerged from the depths of his sea of consciousness like an explosion.
But all the thoughts could not be condensed into a reliable guess.
Instinct told Xu Qing that there was a huge problem behind this, and it was very likely related to the secret of the disappearance of immortals and gods.
But there were only two glimpses of the picture, and the information was too little to make any effective judgment.
"call"
Xu Qing took a deep breath.
This time strangely, the Six Ding Gods in his body did not force his consciousness to calm down.
He can only make adjustments on his own.
He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the chaotic and disturbing thoughts in his mind, and turned his attention to the current trip to the Dragon Palace.
"Where is this place?"
Every time the Dragon Palace is opened, new areas will be unlocked.
The place where he is now is a bit like an underwater forest.
At a glance, the naked eye cannot see the end.
It should be a small secret place in the Dragon Palace, or a cave.
"It's a pity that the treasure that Li Ping'an and his team used to allow people who entered the Dragon Palace to be dropped into the same place can only be used once."
Xu Qing’s first goal of entering the Dragon Palace this time was still the secret realm of assessment.
The long sword containing the destiny of the previous dynasty has been placed there. If one wants to explore its situation, that place is the first choice.
Xu Qing released the black cloud.
The speed of the ink cloud in the water slowed down greatly.
But it is much better than wasting his energy on traveling.
Xu Qing planned to move to the border of the underwater forest first to see if there was any entrance or exit.
If not, try to break the boundary by force.
At the same time, the three monsters, tiger, deer and sheep, were also looking for a way to leave this underwater forest.
Outside the Dragon Palace.
The deepest part of the East China Sea.
A huge pressure enveloped all around, and the sea water seemed to solidify.
Monsters below the fifth realm would have difficulty moving forward here.
But at this moment.
This place gathers all the seventh level dragons and water descendants from all over the world.
In the past, these dragon-derived water descendants who had fought fiercely for the transportation of the four seas were now gathering together quietly to discuss something.
"Have enough human cultivators and demons died in the Dragon Palace? Can beings with great magical powers be allowed to enter?"
"Not enough, far from enough." A seventh-level dragon-type water descendant with a dragon head and a turtle body shook his head, "If we want the gate of the Dragon Palace to be able to allow great supernatural powers to enter, the current supply is far from enough."
“Have we already counted the human cultivators and demons that entered this time?” asked another seventh-level dragon of the water race with a tiger body and a dragon head.
"In the past, 30% to 40% of the people and monsters that entered the Dragon Palace would stay inside. This time, we'll use 50% for the calculation."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the dragons and water descendants present fell silent.
The Dragon Palace is open. Don't think that they are really forced by various forces to compromise and allow other forces to enter.
Actually.
When they first obtained the method to open the Dragon Palace and needed to perform a blood sacrifice, they tried to capture a lot of water monsters to "feed" the Dragon Palace.
But it took a huge amount of blood and flesh sacrifices to barely open a crack in the gate of the Dragon Palace, allowing the little monster of the first realm to enter.
From then on, these seventh-level dragon-type water descendants knew that if they wanted to open the gate of the Dragon Palace to the point where they could enter, the amount of blood and flesh sacrifices they would need would be so great that they would have to use up all the water-dwelling monsters in the four seas.
In order to continue walking on this dead-end road.
They do not mind sacrificing other waterborn.
But the cost of "feeding" all the water creatures in the four seas to the Dragon Palace would be too high.
What's more, once the Dragon Palace is real, it will be impossible for people and monsters from other forces not to get involved.
By then, they will have to share the results with other forces after paying such a huge price, which is something they absolutely do not want to see.
That’s why there is a current situation where various forces share the Dragon Palace.
Why is the Dragon Palace opened one realm at a time?
That’s because the cultivators who died in the Dragon Palace would be absorbed by the Dragon Palace as “nutrients”, thereby allowing the gate of the Dragon Palace to open step by step, allowing stronger human cultivators and demons to enter.
"I have secretly contacted some forces and asked them to start a massacre after the Dragon Palace is opened, leaving at least 70% of the human cultivators and demons in the Dragon Palace."
The dragon-like water creature with a dragon head and a turtle body spoke, breaking the silence.
"Which forces?" asked a seventh-level dragon-type water creature with a dragon head and a fish body.
“All the members of the forces that did not participate in the blood sacrifice will leave their lives in it.”
In the beginning, they spent a huge amount of blood and flesh as sacrifices before the Dragon Palace was allowed to allow human cultivators and demons of the first level to enter.
But it was opened a second time later.
They secretly joined forces with other forces to do this.
People in the world only know that when the Dragon Palace was opened, it was already able to accommodate human cultivators and demons of the second realm.
Little did they know that the gate to the Dragon Palace was opened step by step.
It was just that the first two times the gate of the Dragon Palace was opened, it was these dragons and water descendants from the four seas and other forces who opened it using blood sacrifice.
"Are you not afraid of those forces causing trouble?"
"As long as enough sacrifices are left, the Dragon Palace may be able to be opened directly to the point where the seventh realm can be entered. When the Dragon Palace is opened, who will have the time and energy to take care of these things?"
"It would be better this way." said the dragon-like water creature that looked like a snail with a deer horn and fish scales inside.
"Those forces were able to enter the Dragon Palace to seek opportunities without paying a price. Now they are just making up for it."
"Jiaotu" shook his head and didn't continue the conversation.
In the past, those forces captured other people and monsters for blood sacrifice, but now they are the backbones and talented disciples of their own sects.
If they were all killed in the Dragon Palace, they would definitely be seriously injured, or even have their spines broken, which would surely lead to all kinds of disputes.
But that's for later.
There is "immortal fate" in the Dragon Palace. It is rare for them to stop fighting and appear here with a unified opinion just for this.
It is hard to say whether they can survive after entering the Dragon Palace.
The dangers lurking in the Dragon Palace's "Immortal Fate" are so great that even the seventh-level realm masters in the human world are at risk of death.
"Baxia, since you have a solution, why did you call us here?" The water descendant with a jackal's body and a dragon's head, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
“Because the Dragon Palace will most likely let us in next time, we need to prepare in advance and block people from other forces to buy us more time.” “Ba Xia” with a dragon head and a turtle body said lightly.
"Before we find our destiny, we need to work together and unite as one."
"After finding the immortal fate, each of us will use our own abilities to obtain it."
"Especially you, Ya Zi, don't act impulsively."
Ya Zi grinned and didn't take Ba Xia's reminder seriously.
"Don't the human and demon races of the forces you contact know that the next time the Dragon Palace opens, the Seventh Realm may be allowed to enter?"
"I just told them that according to the current level of blood sacrifice, the next Dragon Palace may not be able to be opened, and they need to help." Ba Xia sneered, "After all, the Dragon Palace is the place of our Water Clan." "They don't understand the Dragon Palace any better than we do."
"Where is the person who summoned the Dragon Palace and told us how to open it?" Jiaotu's cold voice sounded.
When the man wearing the Qilin mask was mentioned, the dragon and water descendants fell silent again.
"He inherited the legacy left by Emperor Dasheng II, and that Emperor Dasheng II was the only one in the past ten thousand years who had entered the Dragon Palace and used the Dragon Palace to take people to another world." Jiaotu continued to himself.
"When it comes to our familiarity with the Dragon Palace, we are far inferior to him."
"What you said is very correct. We must be on guard against this guy." Chiwen said in a deep voice.
However, at this moment, Ba Xia said something that surprised and puzzled all the Dragon and Water Descendants present:
"Don't worry about that guy. He won't show up in the Dragon Palace."
"Baxia, where did you get the news?"
"Don't worry, that guy was stripped of his position as the God of Fire due to some reasons. He is now trying to reintegrate the position and has no time to get involved in the Dragon Palace."
"In addition, the Dragon Palace and his position as the God of Fire are naturally in conflict. The Dragon Palace's immortal fate is useful to everyone, but it is useless to him."
In the Dragon Palace.
Xu Qing rode the black cloud and wandered in this underwater forest.
The area of this underwater forest was much larger than he had imagined.
Even though Mo Yun's speed had slowed down in the water, it had already been half an hour since he boarded the Mo Yun, but he still hadn't seen the boundary of the underwater forest.
suddenly.
When Xu Qing flew out of a forest of water plants.
Suddenly, several water snakes jumped out from below and opened their mouths to shoot water arrows towards Xu Qing.
Xu Qing waved his long sleeves, and the surge of Yuan Qi destroyed those water arrows.
"Snake demon? No, it's a water spirit."
Xu Qing reached out and grabbed those water snakes.
"This is... Pure Yuan Shui Ling."
The so-called pure water spirits are a very special kind of water spirits. They are born from pure water energy.
For any practitioner who practices the great way of water or cultivates water techniques, it is a very precious treasure.
Although Xu Qing had not practiced water magic, this was a precious treasure and he would naturally not let it go.
He collected a few water spirits and continued to fly towards the border.
However, the further they went, the more pure water spirits they encountered, and their sizes became larger and larger.
Xu Qing frowned and took the four water spirits that were attacking him.
"Could it be that I went in the wrong direction? My original location is the border, and this is the core location of the cave?"
Xu Qing had no choice but to doubt.
Only the core area of the cave can breed such aquatic creatures.
Think of this.
Xu Qing was quite distressed.
"Forget it, now that we are here, let's take a walk."
"I heard that the Dragon Palace will be open for three days this time. It shouldn't be a problem to waste some time here."
Xu Qing continued to fly forward.
And the other side.
All over the Dragon Palace.
In order to compete for various opportunities, brutal and tragic killings took place.
It was clearly only the first day in the Dragon Palace, but under the push of some people with ulterior motives.
A large number of human cultivators and demons lost their lives here.
At this time, most of the human cultivators and demons did not react.
After all, casualties are normal.
The emergence of every treasure land is bound to be accompanied by bloody storms.
Jingqing and Jingxin have already reunited at this time.
More disciples from Yuanfu Temple are gathering.
"Have you noticed anything wrong?" Jing Qing looked around the Dragon Palace and suddenly frowned.
"Something's wrong? What's wrong?" Jingxin asked carefully.
"Hmm." Jing Qing tapped his brows, "My talisman is giving a warning. Some dark clouds are spreading towards me."
"Is there a problem with the opening of the Dragon Palace this time?" Jingxin said in a deep voice.
He knew that Jingqing's "Talisman of Slaying Thousands of Gods and Tens of Thousands of Ghosts" was extremely special. Not only did it have extremely high killing power, it also had a certain blessing of avoiding danger and seeking good fortune. It was normal for him to have some warning.
And this warning is often not to be ignored.
Nine times out of ten it will come true.
Jing Qing shook her head: "No, according to the warning in the talisman, it should be some kind of man-made disaster."
"Man-made disaster?" Jing Xin frowned, "Someone is targeting our Yuan Fu Temple?"
"It's possible, but the warning from the talisman this time is very strange. I have an indescribable feeling."
"It seems to be directed at me, but it also seems not to be."
I thought about it in my mind:
"Could it be a demon from outside the pass? Last time, Junior Brother Jingdu seemed to have ruined the good deeds of the flood disaster owner."
"The last time I left the Dragon Palace, the flood disaster owner was furious and wanted to cause trouble for Junior Brother Jingdu. Fortunately, Master Tianyou intervened."
Jingqing's brows relaxed and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"That flood disaster master caused trouble for my junior brother last time?"
"Ah."
"Why didn't you tell me after you returned?"
"Junior Brother Jingdu is fine, and my master was protecting us in secret at the time. No matter what, Junior Brother Jingdu would be fine, so I didn't say anything."
"No wonder the flood disaster owner wanted to use his power to bully Junior Brother the moment they met." Jing Qing said unhappily, "Next time, don't hide this kind of thing. Just because Junior Brother is fine doesn't mean he hasn't been wronged."
"Since he has been wronged, we must vent his anger!"
Be calm and focus your attention on the area between your eyebrows.
The Dharma talisman emerged.
Her "Talisman of Slaying Thousands of Gods and Tens of Thousands of Ghosts" has the ability to record the aura of certain monsters and ghosts, and find their whereabouts based on the aura.
Before entering the Dragon Palace, she secretly recorded the aura of the demons in the camp outside the pass.
When she displayed this ability to record breath, even a person at the seventh level of the human world might not be able to detect it if they were not paying attention.
"Let's go." Jing Qing's figure turned into a rainbow and flew up. "Before gathering the fellow disciples, let's go meet the group of demons outside the pass and kill a few of them to vent my anger for my junior brother."
Follow the guidance of the breath of the magic talisman.
Jingqing quickly found the nearest demon outside the pass.
But beyond their expectation.
The demons from the camp outside the pass have gathered in large numbers in such a short period of time, and mixed with them——
There are also lamas from the Great Snow Mountain, a prince from a country in the Western Regions, poison masters from southern Xinjiang, tribes such as the Earth Sheep Ghost, people from certain sects in Dasheng, and other large and small sects and forces.
“So many forces are actually mixed together?”
When they found that multiple forces were gathering together ahead, Jingqing and Jingxin instinctively realized that something was wrong! (End of this chapter)
