I submitted my mathematics to the country and won 500 million yuan

Zhu Zihang frowned and said, "Where is this place with a forbidden magic array?"

Li Zheng also pondered. Now he has some common sense about formations.

The forbidden magic circle is a magic circle that is only equipped in prisons. Moreover, the magic forbidden arrays generally equipped in prisons only restrict the monks in the Qi refining period from casting spells. As for the True Yuan-level Forbidden Magic Array, it consumes too much True Yuan. There are only a few of them in the whole of Daxia, and they are all powered by the Power of Original Array.

And this unknown area hidden under the exchange competition venue, where even Zhu Zihang couldn't cast spells, must not be an easy place.

Li Zheng communicates with the competition badge through his mental power and can still contact the safety circle in the competition field. It seems that this underground area is still within the scope of the practice exchange competition.

Li Zheng was somewhat relieved. The venue for the second stage of the competition is so large and equipped with so many safety formations. Naturally, only the original power formation can provide such majestic power. Then the true element level forbidden magic array is just one of the supporting arrays.

But on the other hand, Li Zheng was also slightly nervous. The competition was still going on. Even if he couldn't cast spells, Li Zheng's physique during the Qi refining period was obviously no match for Zhu Zihang, who had nourished his body with true energy.

Li Zheng looked at Zhu Zihang and said decisively: "There is obviously something strange in this area. How about we stop fighting and investigate first?"

Zhu Zihang looked at the direction he entered this place, which was a wall made of rock and soil. At this time, the two of them were unable to cast spells. If they wanted to leave this place, they could only rely on their hands to dig a passage.

Zhu Zihang nodded and said, "Well, since we're here, let's take a look first."

Li Zheng was overjoyed that he and Zhu Zihang were accidentally trapped here. He only hoped that Zhang Wenbin and Li Tuyuan could seize the opportunity.

Li Zheng meditated slightly, and his meditation range and mental power were suppressed to within 10 meters, but he also roughly found out that this was an underground tunnel with a height and width of 3 meters.

This is somewhat similar to the Chang'an Underground Palace.

Zhu Zihang walked forward first. Since he knew that this place was still within the competition range, there could be no real danger. It was better to explore it as soon as possible.

After the battle just now, Zhu Zihang already knew that Chen Bixiao from Imperial University could join forces with Wang Ling'er and many students to set up a forbidden spell-level magic circle. That huge fireball falling from the sky was no better than the ancient innate method used by Li Zheng, Zhang Wenbin, and Kou Xinghe. If Chen Bixiao deploys another forbidden spell-level magic circle and joins forces with Zhang Wenbin to deal with Kou Xinghe, then the situation of Sanqing University will be a bit dangerous.

Zhu Zihang thought to himself, fortunately none of the students in the competition field knew that Li Zhenghe himself was accidentally trapped. Moreover, Li Zhengyifang's strategy from the beginning was to disperse operations as much as possible, so there should be no threat to Sanqing University in the short term. As long as you get out in time, the overall situation will still not change.

However, the practice exchange competition has been held for so many times, and this is the first time I heard that there is such a secret place hidden under the second stage of the competition, which is a bit intriguing.

Li Zheng immediately followed Zhu Zihang. Zhu Zihang was a typical good student. Since the truce was agreed upon, Li Zheng would not have any worries, just like the previous competition.

The two chatted about the Chang'an Underground Palace, and they both had some doubts about this place. They discussed it for a while but without any results.

As the two of them moved forward, the tunnel gradually became wider, until a stone tablet suddenly appeared at the end of the passage.

On top of the stele, there is an eye-catching pattern that occupies the upper half of the stele.

Above the pattern, endless smoke and dust covered the sky, and it turned out to be a mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

Li Zheng subconsciously thought of the group of Daxia cultivators and hundreds of thousands of students who went to the desert to forge swords for Daxia after the founding of the Yuan Kingdom.

This may be a monument to the history of sword-making in Daxia.

However, Li Zheng moved his gaze downwards and couldn't help but shrink his gaze.

He saw that half of the area under the stele was covered with inscriptions, and the title of the inscription was five large Chinese characters: Apocalypse Explosion!

Li Zheng was shocked. The Apocalypse Explosion is one of the three mysteries of nature in the scientific universe, along with the Tianzhu Death Hill Incident and the Tunguska Explosion.

But Li Zheng was cultivating the universe at the moment. When a monument to the Apocalypse Big Bang appeared deep underground, Li Zheng couldn't help but think of the magic book in the Chang'an Underground Palace records that destroyed the entire city of Chang'an.

Could it be that the demise of the Ming Dynasty is also related to the darkness in the records of ancient Chang'an?

Li Zheng and Zhu Zihang looked at each other, walked quickly to the stone tablet, and began to read it carefully.

It is recorded that in the late Ming Dynasty, when the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian were fighting, a group of talented people broke away from the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and began to summarize the teachings and practice. They have gone further during the Qi Refining period, and a few have even reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Although after practicing like this, almost all the talents who advance to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining are from the mortal realm, and their combat prowess is not even comparable to that of many geniuses in the later stages of Confucian Qi Refining. However, this method of practice is different from the four mainstream methods of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Emperor at that time, and the difficulty of practice has been greatly reduced.

The four methods of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism can only be understood by chance once you enter the late stage of Qi refining. Since ancient times, countless talented people have been trapped in the late stage of Qi refining and have been unable to make any progress for their entire lives. People who can aspire to the Great Perfection of Qi refining are rare in every era.

However, this newly emerged practice method is based on performance and derivation. You can discuss your performance experience with others and repeat the performance and derivation process, so that the road to the later stages of Qi refining will no longer be bumpy.

In fact, this method of cultivation has already sprouted in the Southern Song Dynasty. After hundreds of years of development, it has the miraculous effect of guiding the later stages of Qi refining.

However, in ancient times, the court only respected Confucianism, and acting has always been called a minor path. The path of practice derived from this kind of acting has greatly reduced the strength of people with the same level of cultivation, and is even regarded as a strange skill.

In the late Ming Dynasty, both parties paid little attention to this group of people. However, the then emperor Zhu Youxiao loved carpentry and was somewhat involved in acting. He liked this practice method derived from acting very much, so he took in these people. Talented men, let them explore the path of cultivation in the southwest corner of the imperial capital.

It was not until 1626 that these talents achieved a state beyond the Qi refining stage through acting. At that time, the Great Perfection of Qi Refining was already regarded as a terrestrial immortal, and the realm above the terrestrial immortal was already a realm of gods in the eyes of the world.

These talented people were overjoyed and decided to let He Zudao, who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining at that time, try to attack the True Yuan Realm on May 5th.

On this day, all the talented people exploring new cultivation methods gathered in the southwest of the imperial capital, hoping to witness with their own eyes He Zudao's breakthrough to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and to see the immortal realm beyond the Qi Refining Period.
