Master, you go first!

The moment he stepped into the portal, the talisman held in Gu Jiu's other hand burned.

This is one of the life-saving talismans that he has prepared long ago. If he is attacked, he will be teleported to a place ten miles away immediately. He was afraid that he would be tricked as soon as he entered. This was the basic quality of a slut.

But Shen Nian didn't think as much as he thought. He just left, and even if he met someone he wanted to hit, he would hit him.

Fortunately, what Gu Jiu was worried about did not happen. They entered the secret realm safely.

The secret realm was not as scary as Gu Jiu imagined. What caught their eyes was a blue sky and white clouds, with mountains rising one after another in the distance. What they came to was a plain area, surrounded by flowers and green grass, which was very beautiful.

Gu Jiu was a little surprised. Judging from the names, "Senluo Palace" and "Jiuyou Palace", didn't they all sound spooky and spooky at first hearing? This was too deceptive.

The surroundings were very quiet, not a single person was around. Gu Jiu raised his eyes and looked around, and found a crossroads not far away. There was an ancient stone monument beside the crossroads.

So, he pulled Shen Nian towards the stone monument, well, in a physical sense, he forgot to let go.

Shen Nian realized that he had no intention of letting go of the hand he was holding, and wanted to remind her, but felt that it was unnecessary, so she let him pull her and follow her to look. This was the first time she was held by someone's hand, and in her heart, the deer lined up and hit the tree, killing one after another.

Gu Jiu came to the stone tablet and saw that there was actually an explanation. That would be easy.

"Welcome to the 996th District of Jiuyou Palace."

……

Gu Jiu smiled, and after going round and round, it was still 996. This is a joke.

According to the description on the stone tablet, Gu Jiu roughly figured out the situation.

There are 999 areas in the entire secret realm. They came in very late, so they were basically at the end of the queue.

All areas are not independent, but are connected, just like the seamless map of online games.

Each district has a lot of natural and earthly treasures, and of course there are also monsters running rampant. However, the level of the monsters can be dealt with in the pill-forming stage.

In the middle of the secret realm are Jiuyou Palace and Senluo Palace. When he saw this, Gu Jiu began to think that it was okay for people outside to call Senluo Palace. It turned out to be a hidden copy.

The two palaces will not appear at the same time. Jiuyou Palace only appears at night, and Senluo Palace only appears during the day.

To get the spiritual fire, you can only enter the palace to search for it when Jiuyou Palace appears at night.

Gu Jiu nodded and said,

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's originally the Nine Ghost Fire, so it should naturally appear in the Nine Nether Palace."

After checking these messages, Gu Jiucai felt the heat in his hands and let go of Shen Nian's hand in embarrassment.

The embarrassment is really embarrassing, and the secret pleasure is also really secret pleasure.

Of course he won't show it, he will analyze it calmly,

"Master, we need to enter Jiuyou Palace at night. Now let's go to a place closer to the center of the secret realm. It may be night before we fly there."

"okay."

They flew very low so as not to draw too much attention to themselves. After leaving their own area, there was a huge forest all the way, and they only flew as high as the canopy.

At this time, the monks in the secret realm had already begun to explore. There are actually not many people with clear goals like Gu Jiu. Most people, especially casual cultivators, are basically still in their own area.

Because the middle area is the main resource area, but casual cultivators know that those places are basically large battlefields, and they may have been a cannon fodder in the past.

According to past experience, every time after entering the secret realm, people from each major sect will make an appointment to gather at a place before exploring.

Several large sects are harmonious on the surface, but they are incompatible with each other inside the secret realm, and they want to kill each other.

But they don't just fight in groups, more often some unlucky ones who are alone may be killed and the treasures taken away.

After all, when we are a group of people, no one can guarantee that they will completely destroy each other, and trouble will come if they get out of the secret realm.

So judging from Gu Jiu's current situation, it would be relatively safe in the short term. After all, it would take some time for several large disciples to gather.

In order to hurry up, Gu Jiu directly asked Shen Nian to use a high-grade flying sword to accelerate towards the middle area.

Along the way, you will occasionally see monks fighting monsters or fighting with each other. But they didn't stop and flew away.

Some monks saw their flying swords and drooled greedily, but they tried to catch up but couldn't, so they could only watch as they flew away and disappeared from sight.

It took about two hours to fly. After finding a deserted area, Gu Jiu went down to look at the area stone monument.

In two hours, they had flown to more than 700 zones. According to the above explanation, the middle zone was probably around 500, so it should be almost there in another two hours.

At least they were sure that the direction was correct, and Gu Jiu and the others continued to move forward.

After another hour or so, Gu Jiu went down to look at the stone tablet, area 666. Gu Jiu had to give likes.

Just when they were about to set off again, there was a rush of footsteps in the woods not far away.

Gu Jiu reflexively hid behind Shen Nian. This was a good habit he had developed over the years. Well, if something happens, master, go. If nothing happens, go..., bah, if nothing happens, it'll be fine.

Shen Nian was also looking at the direction where the footsteps came from, and she frowned slightly.

They saw a woman in white running out of the woods. This person was Chang Ling'er they met halfway.

Chang Ling'er had tears in her eyes and ran toward the stone monument with a frightened expression.

The clothes on his body were torn in many places, and there were signs of burns. His white and tender arms were now covered in scars. The lively and talkative boy was now so embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jiu had a guess in his mind. It seemed that he was being hunted. It's very likely that he killed people and took treasures.

After all, if it were a monster, the three people in their sect wouldn't be in such a mess.

"Friend Daoist Shen, save me!" Chang Ling'er saw Shen Nian and shouted in panic.

Gu Jiu asked Shen Nian in a low voice, "Save or leave?"

He is not a holy mother, his goal is spiritual fire, not a hero to save the beautiful. It is normal for monks to fight between the weak and the strong, but if they cause trouble, it will waste time and be dangerous.

But Shen Nian wouldn't think about it that much. Since he promised to take care of each other, he would help whenever possible.

"Save." He simply replied to Gu Jiu with one word. Shen Nian asked Chang Ling'er who hurried over again,

"What happened?"

"Three, three people from Guangming Sect are all in the late stage of pill formation." Chang Ling'er ran to the two of them and panted, saying,

"My senior sister, all of them were murdered."

Gu Jiu heard that he didn't want to fight at the late stage of three pill formations.

"Master, why don't we take her and leave quickly? We should be able to get rid of her."

"You still want to leave, where are you going?" At this time, three people in the forest chased them out, and the leader said contemptuously.
