The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Chapter 42 Yunmeng Mountain Forbidden Land

Afterwards, Xuyang found an inconspicuous mortal city in the neighboring country of Dongyu, hundreds of thousands of miles away from Mengyun Mountain, and let Mu Nianxi settle down temporarily there, asking her to wait there, and then returned to Yunmeng Mountain.

One morning three days later, deep in the Yunmeng Mountains, there was an unnamed valley that was shrouded in damp fog all year round. The fog was filled with poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions, and no mortal humans were seen.

Xuyang was hiding in a poisonous fog above the valley and had been observing secretly for two days. The reason why he was waiting here instead of just forcing his way in was not only because of a middle-Nascent Soul cultivator and several Core Formation cultivators who had been in seclusion here for a long time.

This is because an extremely powerful restriction has long been set up at the entrance to the Spirit Eye Tree, where there are piles of rocks in the valley. This restriction is not only able to resist the divine thoughts of the Nascent Soul Stage, but also contains the mysteries of the Eight Trigrams. Unless one is a cultivator who is familiar with this formation and holds a specific magic weapon to open it, he will inevitably lose his senses in the formation and trigger the warning formation plates in the three sects at the same time.

According to what the Mu siblings had inquired about, only when the three sects held their spiritual conference every five years would they bring a large number of low-level new disciples to the valley to prepare the Ming and Qing spiritual water.

Normally, deacons are sent by the rotating sect to deliver supplies once a year to replace the rotating monks. This is also an extra benefit. After all, who doesn’t want to practice under the top-level Spirit Eye Tree?

Whenever they encountered such an assignment, the Jindan cultivators who were facing bottlenecks in the three sects would almost break their heads over the chance to get it. Later, with the introduction of a rotation system within the sect, the assignment was gradually changed to that of the sect's Nascent Soul ancestors.

This kind of assignment is also criticized by the slightly weaker minority of master-disciple inheritance within the three sects. After all, the so-called three sects are nothing more than forces controlled by several powerful families. Who wouldn't want to take more of such benefits?

According to past practice, today was the day of handover. At this moment, the clouds outside the valley suddenly moved without wind. Two beams of light broke through the fog and descended one after the other. Two male monks appeared in front of the pile of rocks.

A young man in black with a cold and serious expression, and an ugly old man in a red robe who was sloppy and shabby. They were holding wine gourds and took a sip in mid-air before the wine landed on the ground, looking like they were addicted to alcohol.

After the cold-faced young man landed, he first scanned the area with his spiritual sense, nodded, and then carefully took out a jade token and meticulously pasted it on the several giant stone formations around the stone pestle. After finding nothing unusual, he turned to the old man and said solemnly:

"I've checked it, and there's no problem. Big Brother, you'll be the one to activate the formation."

"Haha, Junior Brother Gu, you have the body of a sword spirit, you should be free and easy, why do you always look so cold, no wonder you didn't become a Taoist partner with Fairy Mingyu from Baiqiaoyuan, who can stand you being so serious all the time? This forbidden area is located in the heart of our three sects, is there any blind person who dares to sneak in? Come, have a sip of the green blood wine made from the thousand-year-old green blood grass, it's really strong!"

The sloppy old man shook his head, tapped the former with his finger, and handed over the gourd in his hand with a look of disappointment and ridicule.

The cold-faced young man did not take it, but continued to speak coldly: "This time, our master sacrificed his reputation and went to the Great Elder. I don't know how much effort he put into it, before he finally got the quota for the Holy Land for the next ten years of our sect. Now, I give it all to you in one go. Brother, you have been in the late stage for many years. If you cannot use the pure and spiritual energy of the Holy Land to achieve a false infant this time, after our master passes away, it will be difficult for our lineage to gain a foothold in the sect again!"

"Okay, I'll start the formation now."

The sloppy old man sighed upon hearing that, his expression became a little more serious, he made hand gestures with one hand and silently chanted a spell, then raised his hand and shone a beam of white light onto a seemingly inconspicuous stone nearby, and then continued to hit several stones in a seemingly random manner.

Suddenly, the pile of rocks emitted a bright white light. Countless rocks floated up and were arranged in an orderly manner to form a huge magic circle. A beam of white light came out from the magic circle, which was hundreds of feet long. After sweeping around, it shone directly on the two people, as if checking something.

At this time, a faint old voice came from the magic formation: "It turned out to be Brother Ouyang and Brother Gu from the Ancient Sword Sect. Your master Li is practicing a secret technique and is unable to get up. This time, I will open the formation. Please wait a moment."

Then the rocks fell, and the magic circle returned to its original state. A small teleportation array three meters in size appeared in its place.

The cold-faced young man and the sloppy old man did not say a word the whole time. When they saw the teleportation array appear, they walked into the array without hesitation.

But when the lights at the four corners of the teleportation array lit up and they were about to teleport, a faint figure floated down silently from the clouds above, landing in the array like a ghost, and stuck closely to the back of the cold-faced young man. The two of them didn't notice it at all. It was Xuyang who performed the Great Invisibility Technique.

At this time, the teleportation array had finally completed its preparations. With a flash of light, the three people disappeared.

Because the teleportation distance was very short, it was not like the ultra-long-distance teleportation array that Xuyang had taken before, which connected Tiannan and Chaos Star Sea. It gave him a dizzy feeling as if the world was turned upside down. After a slight change in space, he arrived at a huge stalactite cave.

The inside of the cave was somewhat similar to the grotto at the ancient teleportation array, but as soon as Xuyang came in, he felt an extremely pure and clear spiritual energy coming towards him, which was far beyond what the teleportation array grotto could match, and even better than the spiritual jade obtained a few days ago. It was truly worthy of being the famous holy land spiritual vein in southern Tian!

Besides being surprised, Xuyang couldn't help but murmur a little.

"How did the three sects protect Yunmeng Mountain, a spiritual vein as good as this one? Could it be that the righteous and the evil have something better?"

Inside the cave is a closed underground world, hundreds of feet long and wide, and dozens of feet high. The countless stalactites are not hanging upside down, but are thick at the bottom and thin at the top like trees, blocking the view like a forest of stones.

Xuyang did not hesitate and swept his spiritual sense directly across the interior of the cave. However, his spiritual sense was bounced back in a stone forest in the center, and he did not find any cultivators or spiritual eye trees.

There are actually forbidden mechanisms inside the cave!

These people really put in a lot of effort to protect the sacred tree.

At this time, the two people in front recovered from the teleportation a few breaths later than Xuyang and had already stepped out of the teleportation array. Xuyang did not slack off and followed the cold-faced young man closely.

Approaching the stone forest where the restriction was set, the sloppy old man still chanted the spell to open the restriction.

A moment later, countless stone pillars emitted a milky white light at the same time, and began to move like the rubble outside, forming a straight path dozens of feet long.

The two of them were cheered up and were ready to take big steps forward.

But a loud roar with full power suddenly spread throughout the entire underground world.

"Who are you? How dare you sneak into the forbidden area of ​​the three sects!"

"what?"

The young man and the old man were shocked, looked at each other quickly, their pupils shrank, and they hurriedly looked behind them.

You wouldn't know until you see it. You were shocked when you saw a young man in ancient clothes and a tall hat, standing closely behind them, a few inches away. He was smiling at them strangely, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.
