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

Chapter 249 The Extremely Deep Truth
The distance of a thousand feet passes in an instant.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

More than a dozen rays of escaping light hovered one after another, and many golden elixir monks appeared to be surrounding them. They were holding magic weapons and preparing magical powers, staring at everyone with eager eyes.

Not long ago, the two sides were still fighting for life and death, but now they have a common goal, and the convergence was completed immediately.

"Mingyuan!"

An old man with red eyebrows in a deep red robe stepped out from the crowd and said coldly:

"Hand over Mitensha!"

"Otherwise, you will never leave this place alive today!"

"Insanity!"

Ancestor Mingyuan was so angry that he laughed back and said sarcastically:

"Yinyan, just you? How dare you speak so brazenly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step in the void, the mana aura on his body surged, and he released powerful spiritual pressure.

"boom……"

The powerful spiritual pressure turned into a frenzy and swept towards the opposite side, causing a slight commotion among the dozen or so Jindan monks.

Most of the golden elixir monks on the opposite side are only at the early stage of the golden elixir. If it were a fair contest, I am afraid that five or six early golden elixir monks working together could only barely match the Ancestor Ming Yuan.

But it is a pity that among them there are also strong men who are not inferior to the ancestors of Mingyuan.

"Humph!"

Patriarch Yinyan snorted coldly, and without showing any weakness, summoned mana and cast spiritual pressure, confronting Patriarch Mingyuan tit for tat.

"Buzz!"

Two equally matched spiritual pressures collided with each other, causing the surrounding magnetic energy to faintly vibrate and make a buzzing sound.

Next moment:
Zhang Yao took a step forward with an expressionless face. As his magic power surged, powerful spiritual pressure poured out.

The two torrents converged and immediately broke down the dam unstoppably.

"Well……"

Ancestor Yinyan's face turned slightly pale, he groaned, and couldn't help but take a step back, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He had heard of the name of Ancestor Qingxu a long time ago, but he did not expect that this person was only at the early stage of Jindan, and his magical power was really no less powerful than those in the later stage!

Just the two of them working together is already extremely difficult, not to mention that there are many helpers on the opposite side, as well as two strong men in the middle stage of the Golden Core... It is really difficult to deal with!
"Ancestor Yinyan!"

Ancestor Ming Yuan was keenly aware of his wavering attitude, so he seized this opportunity and said forcefully:
"Are you really thinking about fighting us to the death?"

"How did Sima Yan die just now? Didn't you see it?"

As soon as this statement came out:
Patriarch Yinyan remained silent, frowning tightly, and the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators behind him couldn't help but get together in twos and threes, discussing and exchanging spiritual thoughts.

The mysterious black shadow that made a sneak attack and killed Sima Yan just now was not only able to shuttle freely in the black tide, but could also control the black evil beast. It was obviously a lie to say that he was not afraid or afraid.

But with priceless treasures like Mi Tiansha right in front of them, it is even more impossible for them to give up just like that.

"Friend Qingxu!"

While Ancestor Yin Yan and others were hesitating to discuss the plan, Ancestor Ming Yuan urgently sent a message:
"How about we take a step back and kill people with a borrowed knife to get rid of this scourge?"

Zhang Yao was startled when he heard this, then his mind changed and he immediately understood his plan.

For Ancestor Ancestor Ming Yuan, the threat of the mysterious black shadow is like a stick in his throat, and he would rather give up some of the benefits of Mitian Sha to get rid of this beast.

But for the rest of the people, they still had to think carefully about whether it was worth it, so he immediately went to Zhang Yao to discuss it, just to seek his support.

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to handle..."

Zhang Yao frowned slightly, acting in a difficult manner.

Want his support?No problem, it depends on how big the chips Ancestor Ming Yuan can offer.

"……How about this!"

Ancestor Ming Yuan gritted his teeth and responded with his spiritual thoughts:

"As long as fellow daoists support me, I will tell you all the grievances and grievances with fellow daoists afterwards, and I will give you a great opportunity!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yao thought a little, nodded and said:
"Okay, then I will help Fellow Daoist for a while."

"That's good, thank you fellow Taoist!"

Ancestor Ming Yuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

In a team of ten people, their master and apprentice already had a dominant position, but now that they have received the approval of Ancestor Qingxu, the opinions of the remaining people no longer matter.

"Ancestor Mingyuan and Ancestor Qingxu."

While the two people were transmitting their spiritual thoughts, the Yinyan Ancestor and others on the opposite side also reached a basic consensus:
"Now that the enemy is on the side, we, the human monks, should really put aside our past grudges and join forces to fight against the enemy."

Ancestor Yinyan said solemnly:

"But the treasures of heaven, materials and earth are also on a first-come, first-served basis. This huge sand was discovered by Lao Chan and others first."

"If you want to retreat, you can, but you need to leave half of the Mitiansha behind!"

Obviously, they still had scruples in their hearts. They didn't say it to death, they just wanted to split it in half.

But even if it was half, Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan were reluctant to hand it over like this. The latter immediately frowned and said:

"Half, isn't that too much?"

"good."

Zhang Yao's eyes swept across the opposite side and his tone was calm:

"Everyone just had a fight to the death, and you don't seem to be in good condition. And this Mo Yuan is full of dangers..."

Ancestor Yinyan heard the hidden threat in his words, and immediately said with an ugly face:
"Ancestor Qingxu, what do you mean by this? Do you think..."

The two sides refused to give an inch. They went back and forth and exchanged words with each other for half an hour before reluctantly reaching an agreement.

Mitiansha scored [-]%, Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan got [-]%, Ancestor Yinyan and others got [-]% - they had just had a fierce battle, and they were indeed in poor condition, and some were seriously injured. , after all, lack of confidence.

soon:

Witnessed by more than 20 Jindan monks from both sides, Zhang Yaozhi took Sima Yan's storage bag and prepared to open it under the supervision of many spiritual thoughts.

"Buzz!"

Sima Yan was already dead, and the remnant brand left behind quickly collapsed under the washing of the tyrannical mana and divine sense.

The storage bag was quickly refined by Zhang Yao, and he gained control. He was unambiguous, and immediately opened the storage bag and dumped everything out:
"Whoa!"

There are mountains of low-grade and medium-grade spiritual stones, and there are hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones.

The rest of the second- and third-order spiritual objects, dozens of spiritual weapons, and the radiant magic weapons, rare treasures, panacea, etc., many Jindan monks who saw it were very moved.

But everyone's attention was still focused on the cluster of gravel shaped like black mud.

"This is Mi Tiansha..."

When everyone was jealous and enthusiastic, the partition was quickly completed.

The [-]% shared by his side will be temporarily handed over to Zhang Yao for safekeeping and will be divided later. After all, the trust between each other is still there.

But it was different on the other side. After Sima Yan's incident, everyone no longer believed in the integrity of the ancestor Yinyan, and they were determined not to hand over the Mitian Sand to him for safekeeping.

More than a dozen Jindan monks fought for such a small share. If it weren't for Zhang Yao and the ancestors of Mingyuan who were standing next to them, they would almost fight again. "Wealth touches people's hearts."

Seeing this, Zhang Yao secretly sighed in his heart.

As long as there are living beings and desires, they will never escape the struggle for interests. This is true in the mortal world and the same is true in the world of immortality.

After a moment:
Ancestor Yinyan and more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators finally reached a compromise and adopted a division plan that everyone could barely accept.

And just after they were allotted, the ancestor Mingyuan stepped forward and said:

"Ancestor Yin Yan, fellow Taoists!"

"As you have just seen, that monster is too great a threat to our monks. If it is not removed as soon as possible, many fellow Taoists may die!"

He said, proposing:

"Why don't we both join forces to eliminate this scourge as soon as possible!"

When Ancestor Yin Yan heard this, he immediately nodded his head and directly agreed with Ancestor Ming Yuan's proposal. The two of them hit it off and had a tacit understanding.

The remaining people were still a little hesitant at first, but after Yinyan Ancestor's persistent persuasion, they all agreed one after another.

obviously:
The ancestor of Yinyan has a long-term plan, and he must go deep into the deep layers. It will be very dangerous for him to encounter the black tide monster when he is alone.

It would also be beneficial to him if he could take advantage of the current opportunity of more than 20 Jindan monks to join forces to kill the black tide monster in advance.

But unfortunately:

The two sides joined forces and used the vast golden elixir magic power to cut off the tributary of the black tide for a moment. They searched with great fanfare, but could no longer find any trace of the mysterious black shadow.

Even the few black evil beasts disappeared without a trace, and seemed to have escaped long ago with the help of the tributaries of the black tide.

Everyone was helpless, and after a few polite words, they could only disperse.

…………

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

The light escapes across the sky and shuttles through the dark cave.

Ancestor Ming Yuan's face was gloomy, and he was obviously in a very bad mood.

This time was the best time to eliminate the powerful enemy, but the battle over the Mitian Sand delayed a lot of time, and the monster escaped.

I'm afraid it won't be possible to have such a good opportunity next time, and the danger level has suddenly increased a lot.

"Everyone, please take a rest. We have been exploring for almost twelve hours."

After a while, Ancestor Mingyuan called out, and everyone looked for a hidden area to rest.

First, after distributing the Mitiansha and the many spiritual objects and rare treasures collected along the way according to the previously agreed proportions, everyone exchanged and celebrated happily for a while, and then swallowed the elixir to restore their magic power and cultivate their spiritual thoughts.

At this moment:
Ancestor Mingyuan found Zhang Yao in the corner and sealed it with his magic power with a wave of his hand, cutting off internal and external connections.

"Fellow Daoist Ming Yuan, you are finally here."

Zhang Yao sat cross-legged and showed a faint smile.

"It's time for me to fulfill my promise."

As Ancestor Mingyuan said, he also sat down cross-legged with a solemn expression.

He didn't keep it secret, and said directly:

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu, how much do you know about the deepest layers beneath Mo Yuan?"

"Basically nothing."

Zhang Yao shook his head and said:

"I have specially collected information about Mo Yuan before, but very few of them mentioned the very deep level."

"And most of them are either unclear, or simply based on rumors, or even wishful thinking on their part."

"of course."

Ancestor Ming Yuan smiled:
"Every monk who has been to the deepest level will basically keep this secret spontaneously."

"The reason why I'm telling you now is not only because I owe you a favor, but also because you would have chosen to enter the deepest level."

"Oh?"

Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows, showed a hint of interest in a timely manner, and signaled:
"Fellow Daoist, please continue."

Ancestor Mingyuan pondered for a moment before continuing:

"Unlike what most people imagine, the magnetic barrier does not follow the strict rule of one layer per layer."

"Below [-] feet, and not until [-] to [-] feet deep into the Mo Abyss, there will be a fourth elemental magnetic barrier, and the vast area during this period has given birth to a completely different underground world."

"……and many more!"

Zhang Yao saw the key point keenly and said in surprise:

"Underground world...you mean, there are creatures multiplying in the deepest levels?"

The living beings he was talking about were of course real living beings such as plants, mosses, and not black tide derivatives like the black evil beast that died without even a corpse.

"Correct."

Ancestor Mingyuan said calmly:
"Beneath the deepest layers, the underground world is boundless and magnificent, breeding countless lives."

"Such a vast world, with its proliferation and external human intervention, has even given birth to a civilization that is completely different from the outside world!"

"There are also humans living in the underground world. They call themselves 'Zhuoxiu'. They have the terrifying power to control the black tide, and they have been living in the underground world..."

Zhang Yao's face changed several times, and his heart was shocked.

Human race in the underground world?A civilization different from the Immortal Way?Zhuo Xiu?
It has to be said that the short words of Ancestor Ming Yuan directly subverted his previous understanding and caused a great shock to him.

"Zhuoxiu..."

Zhang Yao's mind was filled with thoughts about this word, and he couldn't help but say:
"Then why can't even a single underground creature be seen above the extremely deep layer?"

"the reason is simple."

Ancestor Ming Yuan said calmly:
"Because they have no way to escape the environment of the underground world, just like fish cannot leave the rivers, lakes and seas."

"In fact, every time the Kuroshio breaks out, there are also underground creatures that are swept up and washed up. Most of them become part of the Kuroshio, while a small number absorb too much of the power of the Kuroshio and become distorted... …”

When Zhang Yao heard this, he suddenly understood:
"So, this is the origin of the Black Evil Beast!"

"Correct!"

The ancestor Mingyuan's eyes were deep, and he said slowly:
"Not only that, those Zhuo cultivators have strange abilities and control unimaginable resources, and they also have a deep knowledge of the world of immortality on the surface."

"Any surface monk who enters the deepest levels will inevitably have to deal with them, and once you get used to the benefits they bring, it will never be possible to get rid of them..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, and said in a deep voice:
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

Ancestor Mingyuan smiled slightly and said leisurely:
"I'm just telling the truth."

"Perhaps you have also guessed that I have also entered the underground world and cooperated with those Zhuo cultivators, and I have received great benefits from this."

"How come I, an idle golden elixir from the southwest border, can call the wind and rain in Tianzhou and achieve the late golden elixir stage all the way? It's all because of the opportunity to cultivate in the underground world hundreds of years ago!"

Having said that, his eyes suddenly darkened:
"I thought I was the only one to leave the underground world that time."

"Unexpectedly, just before the large-scale black tide broke out, I actually sensed another 'Shaman Controller'..."
