Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 185
The moment you step into the magma area:

"boom……"

Zhang Yao only felt a hot wave coming, and the mana in his body was consumed rapidly, and the speed of the drain was more than ten times faster than before.

Even though there are double barriers of spiritual weapons and Taoism, he can still feel the threat. It is conceivable that if he falls into it without protection, even an iron man will disappear in an instant.

"It can still hold on."

Zhang Yao sensed the passing speed of mana, and felt a little relieved.

The temperature and destructive power in the magma will not change much. If it is only at the current level, then he can last at least half an hour.

"Go!"

Zhang Yao played a formula, and the five-color streamer flashed across his fingertips.

His eyes were red, his vision was obstructed, and his divine sense was greatly suppressed, barely covering tens of feet.

If he hadn't learned the induction method through Yu Wentai's memory, even if he knew that the entrance to the secret realm was within the magma area, it would be almost impossible for him to find it.

"found it!"

After waiting for a while, there was a response from Fajue, which immediately made Zhang Yao smile.

He continued to maintain the body protection method and the spiritual weapon, and drove the escape light to shuttle through the red magma that was as bright as molten iron, and walked towards the place where the induction fell.

Escaping in the magma has great resistance, even with Zhang Yao's strength and without specific escaping techniques, he can only travel more than a dozen feet in an instant.

After fleeing for half an hour, Zhang Yao's mana was consumed by nearly half, before he finally saw a simple bronze door in this vast and endless magma area.

The bronze door is nine feet high, and the whole body is blue-gold, with intricate and exquisite patterns and symbols carved on it, shining with a gray luster, and a large stream of magma is automatically discharged around it, forming a pure land.

"The door to the secret realm!"

Zhang Yao's spirit lifted, and he flew away in a hurry.

The moment he passed through the invisible barrier, Zhang Yao felt light all over his body, and the speed of mana consumption dropped sharply.

"call……"

Zhang Yao let out a long breath, and after adjusting his breath for a while, he flew forward and stopped in front of the bronze gate.

This bronze door itself did not impose any protective measures, but he learned one thing through Yu Wentai's memory:

Before the announcement of the Wulinggen recruitment order, when the four major Jindan forces decided to close the Five Elements Secret Realm due to heavy losses, the four Jindan ancestors once joined forces to impose a seal on it.

This was the only and last defense they left behind.

"Um……"

Zhang Yao observed carefully for a moment, stretched out his hand and turned it over, and there were three red thunder beads in his palm.

"If you want to blast away this layer of protection, I'm afraid it can only be done if these three 'Quadrilateral Thunderbolts' are fired together."

"But if you use it like this, you will lose a big hole card..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao couldn't help falling into hesitation.

These three thunderbolts are the most powerful cards in his hand, enough to pose a strong threat to Jin Danqi.

Especially after the Five Elements Secret Realm is reopened, and the Golden Core stage cannot be entered, then this kind of third-order secret treasure with great power and a golden core strike becomes the key to determining the outcome.

He can be sure:
The Lingyang Sect, the Shanhe Sect, and the Dugu Clan have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and they must have Tier [-] secret treasures in their hands.

The re-opening of the Five Elements Secret Realm is to go straight to the core and compete for the most important "Innate Pure Yuan Pill". Every family will definitely go all out and use whatever treasures they have.

In this case, if he doesn't have a Tier [-] secret treasure by his side, then once the situation develops beyond his control, he will have no strong means to serve as the last guarantee.

"...That's all."

"Indecisiveness leads to disaster!"

Zhang Yao pondered for a while, and finally decided to use thunder beads to blast through this layer of protection, and enter the Five Elements Secret Realm first.

After all, although he is confident that he will not be exposed easily, but when the secret realm is opened, there will definitely be Jindan Patriarch watching in person, and it would be too risky to fish in troubled waters and try to sneak into the secret realm.

And he has Yu Wentai's memory, and the Five Elements Secret Realm is equivalent to his home field. He thinks that even if he loses three thunder beads, he still has the confidence to complete the layout.

"call!"

Zhang Yao took a deep breath, and after making up his mind, he fled away in one breath.

After retreating a full thousand feet, Zhang Yao aimed at the bronze gate, activated it with mana, and threw three thunderballs heavily.

"Shh!"

After throwing three thunderballs, Zhang Yao turned around without saying a word, and galloped away with the Escaping Light, running away at the fastest speed.

After just two or three breaths:

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering roar suddenly exploded!

The aftermath of the terrifying power swayed away, causing the extremely thick magma to become like water waves, sweeping layer by layer, breaking down countless mountain and rock passages.

Zhang Yao only felt a "buzz" in his head, and the spiritual light of his body flickered a few times. After being pushed hundreds of feet away by the magma wave, he gradually calmed down.

Because of the bombardment of the thunder beads this time, the entire depths of Prison Gate Mountain trembled a few times, which shows the great power.

"boom……"

Zhang Yao didn't wait long before he felt the abnormal flow of magma around him.

Streams of magma collapsed and converged like a whirlpool, and swept away in a certain direction, where the bronze gate was located.

It was the terrifying power of the three thunderballs that erupted and formed a large vacuum area at the point of impact. After the aftermath of the power dissipated, the magma rolled back in all directions, forming such a strange scene.

"It should be almost there."

Zhang Yao estimated the time, then maintained the body protection method and the spiritual weapon, and flew away in the direction of the magma flow.

After a while, he came back to the bronze door, and saw that the gray luster had disappeared.

The surrounding exclusion zone is still there, but the bronze door has lost its aura, leaving only the original quaint azure color, which looks like an ordinary antique.

"Success!"

A smile appeared on Zhang Yao's face, and he slowly flew forward, arriving in front of the bronze gate.

His figure didn't stop, and continued to fly forward, just like that, submerged in the bronze door, and disappeared in place.

…………

In an instant, the world was spinning.

Zhang Yao felt a little dizzy in his head, and closed his eyes subconsciously. When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly came to a different small world.

Looking around, the sky is a yellowish color, as if it is shrouded in sandstorms all year round, and the sun, moon and other light sources cannot be seen, but the whole world is not dim.

Surrounded by desert-like Gobi scenes, there is no trace of green, and a desolate and lonely atmosphere blows over us.

"In the small world of Tuxing, luck is not bad..."

Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at the small world in front of him.

As for the memory of the Five Elements Secret Realm, he has already focused on looking it up. Coming here can be said to be like returning home. It is familiar and cannot be more familiar.

The structure of the entire Five Elements Secret Realm is actually very simple, only divided into two layers - the outer layer and the core.

This was originally a natural secret space, but it was discovered by Liu Cang, a Sanren of the Five Elements, and he used it as a hidden Beppu. It was not until his death that a large-scale transformation was carried out.

The entire outer layer is divided into 1000 or [-] different small worlds by formations. Each small world is only a dozen miles in size, and the end can be seen at a glance.

1000 two hundred small worlds are divided into five elements.

In these small worlds, there are basically different tests and rewards, and the worst rewards are second-level panacea and spiritual weapons, which shows the extravagance of the Five Elements Sanren back then.

"There should have been formation puppets like sand beasts here to test the entrants."

"It's just that the test here has been breached, and the original rewards have been taken away. If the formation monitors this point, there will be no more sand beasts."

Zhang Yao just glanced at it, and judged the state of this small earth world.

Before and after the Great War of the Five Sects, the expedition teams sent by several Golden Core forces have explored here for decades. It can be said that most of the small worlds have basically been scoured by them.

It is also the repeated exploration and accumulation of wealth that made several Jindan ancestors feel satisfied, but at the same time became more and more greedy, eager for the precious heritage of the core land to the extreme.

The disputes and fights during the exploration also led to deeper and deeper conflicts between the several families, and finally buried them all, waiting to be detonated one day.

"This is a ready-made spider web weaved in advance. If it is not used, it will be too wasteful."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

The entire [-] small worlds in the outer layer seem to be for the care of the younger generations and for the selection of heirs, but in fact they are just a means of deception.

Liu Cang, the real Five Elements Sanman, is a ruthless and uncompromising overlord of the Southwest, how can he be so kind and kind?

In fact, the ecstasy formations based on the "Three Illusions" recorded in the "Wanhuadu Tianzheng" spread all over the outer layer. Once you enter here, you will be subtly affected by the ecstasy formations.

The third-tier top ecstasy formation, let alone resist it, can't even detect it in the foundation building stage.

Under the ecstasy formation, any slight dark thoughts will be magnified, and the power of negative emotions such as anger, aggrieved, resentment, hatred, etc. will gradually exceed the original level.

simply put:
What was supposed to be a quarrel would turn into a fierce fight; what was supposed to be a fight would eventually turn into a life-and-death battle without knowing it.

Because the whole process is extremely obscure, and the treasures in the secret realm are already breathtaking, as well as the dangers of each small world itself, the existence of the ecstasy formation has never been discovered.

And now—

Yu Wentai is dead, and Zhang Yao, who inherited his legacy, is about to become the new owner of this secret realm.

And what Zhang Yao is going to do is also very simple - wait for the rabbit, and wait for the fish with the net.

He doesn't need to worry about it at all, as long as the boundary-breaker breaks through to the foundation-building perfection, greed will drive the outside world's foundation-building monks to swarm in, and eventually they will all become his merits.

"Let's go."

Zhang Yao flew away and came to the edge of this small world.

Under the powerful division of the formation, outsiders only need to touch the edge of the world, and they will be transported to a new small world.

Under normal circumstances, one would have to explore for a long time and go through one small world after another to figure out the laws and then get closer to the core.

But for Zhang Yao, there is no such trouble at all.

"Wow..."

Zhang Yao's mana surged all over his body, and he shot more than a dozen formulas in an instant, and landed on the space barrier at the edge of the small world.

As the formula falls:

Like golden threads, the spirit veins emerged from the air little by little, and eventually spread all over the sky.

As far as the eye can see, the entire small world is surrounded by infinite spiritual veins, like a giant fetal egg bound by layers of spider webs, which looks particularly shocking.

"bring it on."

Zhang Yao slowly stretched out his hand, entering his mana.

The moment he came into contact with the pure five-element mana, the whole space seemed to tremble, and the dense golden threads all emitted brilliance.

After the brilliance fell, Zhang Yao's figure disappeared directly into this small world.

Next moment:
Zhang Yao's eyes blurred, and after he saw his surroundings clearly, he came to a magnificent palace complex stretching for tens of miles.

"It's really luxurious!"

Zhang Yao sighed in admiration, and then flew forward.

The place where he is currently is the core of the Five Elements Secret Realm, and it is also the cave of the Five Elements Sanren.

Back then, Liu Cang, a man of the Five Elements San, did not establish a sect, but he still had many relatives and disciples living with his followers, which is why the cave is so wide and has all kinds of facilities inside.

This is also the reason why the Five Elements Sanren moved here directly after dismissing all relatives and disciples before his death.

2000 years ago:

Liu Cang, who was out looking for opportunities to break through, bumped into a Nascent Soul monster, who acted secretly and attacked him at the slightest disagreement, and Liu Cang was forced to fight back.

But the Nascent Soul Master did not expect that Liu Cang had reached the state of perfection of the golden core at that time, and he had also refined the strongest supernatural power 'Nine-Colored Sky Wheel' recorded in the "Wanhuadu Tianzheng", and his combat power was terrifying. .

After a fierce battle, the two sides ended up losing both sides.

Liu Cang's injuries were too serious, and he died not long after returning to Dali. The Five Elements Secret Realm and memory duplication were also a series of means he hastily arranged before his death.

"Boom..."

The grand gate of the palace, which had been closed for 2000 years, slowly opened.

After 2000 years, this former cave residence of the Sanren of the Five Elements ushered in the second guest.

Zhang Yao, who was familiar with the way, entered Feidun, passing through the Lecture Hall, Danding Hall, Medicine Garden, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion...and many other buildings, and came to the deepest part of the cave.

This is the place where the Five Elements Sanren practiced and lived.

With a "creak", Zhang Yao pushed open the door of a temple, and stepped into the inner hall covered with white jade bricks.

There used to be many forbidden laws here, but they were lifted by Yu Wentai long ago, which happened to be cheaper for Zhang Yao, so he didn't need to make any more effort.

Inside the hall: In front of a futon, there is a crystal clear jade pillar emitting a slight light.

Zhang Yao took a few steps forward, and when he came to the crystal jade pillar, with a solemn expression, he stretched out his hand to press it, and channeled his spiritual power.

"Crack!"

Yu Wentai's remaining brand was easily defeated by him.

It took several hours for Zhang Yao to refine and control this extremely complex formation center, leaving behind his own mana and spiritual imprint.

"It's finally done!"

There was a sincere smile on his face:

"The food and wine have been prepared, and now we are waiting for the customers to arrive..."
