Chapter 270 Ancient Corpse
The entrance to the tomb is not above the ground, but suspended in mid-air.
A space crack was opened by the magic circle, more than two thousand feet in length and breadth, like a heavenly eye, spanning the sky, and a glazed mountain and river reflected in it, a small world.
There are many floating islands around the space rift, with various flags standing on them.
To open up a small world, you must have a certain understanding of the laws of yin and yang and the five elements. Chu Zheng's yin and yang immortal bones and the five elements spirit body have no shackles in this regard.
Immortal monks can open up the cave world by stepping into the secret realm of Immortal Tribulation. Chu Zheng's cultivation level is sufficient, but he has not yet begun to try.
Opening up a small world requires a lot of resources. At the same time, improving your cultivation will also be subject to some limitations of the small world.
Once the small world is opened, Chu Zheng will need to spend a lot of energy to improve the world's heritage. For him, this is like one more thing to distract, and his energy is limited.
With the support of the small world, immortal monks can enter the true inner cycle, their dependence on heaven and earth will be greatly reduced, and their ability to continue fighting in the starry sky will undergo a qualitative change.
At the same time, the small world is also a means to increase combat power. It can burn the origin of the world in a short period of time and explode with amazing power.
This is basically a means to suppress the bottom line. It will damage the foundation of cultivation in exchange for temporary prosperity. No monk will be willing to use it unless it is a matter of life and death.
The entrance to the curtain was surrounded by evil spirits and gloomy air. The sun was high in the sky, but it was still bitingly cold.
Such an environment is somewhat comfortable for Chu Zheng.
He turned around and took a look. The many creatures that initially followed him now had only a few breaths left, and the rest had basically retreated in recognition of the difficulty and no longer wanted to take advantage of him.
However, because of this, the few auras left behind are all very difficult to deal with. They are all existences that have at least entered the fifth level. They obviously have a considerable degree of confidence in their own strength.
Chu Zheng opened his spiritual eyes and carefully looked at the crack in space not far away, his eyebrows gradually raised.
Strong Yin Qi surged at the entrance to the tomb, constantly overflowing.
This is not just a big tomb. In this small world, there is definitely more than just an unknown strong man buried there. It is a burial pit. I don’t know how many lives have died to accumulate such a Rich yin energy.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Zheng rose into the air and headed towards the entrance of the tomb.
Before he could get closer, more than a dozen figures rose up from the four floating islands in the sky and headed straight for him.
These figures have different auras. Only a quarter of them are humans. The rest are aliens with ordinary cultivation. The strongest ones are only third level. They pose no threat to the current Chu Zheng.
Even so, Chu Zheng was still very cautious and stopped.
"Senior, is this your first time here? Do you need a guide?"
"I have the latest map of the tomb here, which can save you a hundred years of hard work, but you have to buy a copy ?”
“My map is the most detailed. Fellow Taoist, you might as well take a look at mine first.”
"This is the latest map drawn yesterday. It only requires two third-level elixirs!"
"The Yin Qi is rampant in the tomb, and there are many evil things breeding. How many spiritual talismans do I need to buy to protect myself?"< br>
More than ten figures gathered around and spoke one after another, clarifying their intentions.
In an instant, Chu Zheng realized that this tomb had existed for too long, and the news spread far and wide. Monks from all races often came here to try their luck.
Many creatures have discovered business opportunities and are already making a living from it.
After some consideration, Chu Zheng rejected the guide, then took out some low-level magic weapons and bought all the maps.
A larger number of maps can also corroborate each other, which is naturally better for him.
As for foreign objects such as talismans and magic weapons, they were also excluded by Chu Zheng due to their low grade.
The evil creatures nourished by the yin energy on the left and right are similar to his current situation, and they may be considered half of the same race.
A moment later, after completing the transaction, Chu Zheng stepped into the spatial rift.
At the same time, there were no less than a hundred people entering and leaving the tomb in an endless stream.
The reputation of this large tomb is so wide that few people within thousands of miles around know about it.
It is said that there was once a force that wanted to forcibly control this entrance to the tomb, and then demanded tolls from every creature who wanted to explore the tomb.
In Chu Zheng’s view, this is an excellent idea, but the premise is that there is sufficient strength to support it.
The final result was no surprise. They were attacked by a group of people, and the follow-up was nothing.
Since the day this large tomb was discovered, countless lives have died.
A considerable number of these monks who are still insisting on exploring the tomb are actually not here for the tomb itself, but to search for the many legacies of the monks who died before.
This is also a quite amazing wealth.
The moment he crossed the crack in space, a strong Yin Qi spread across the surface.
Chu Zheng's whole body breathed smoothly, and his false form was directly torn apart. His hair glowing with rich purple light stretched out, and his bone wings were fully extended, spanning more than ten feet.
This kind of environment, for him, is like a dragon swimming in water, and it couldn't be more comfortable.
The expressions of the several monks who followed Chu Zheng into the space rift suddenly changed, their expressions were startled, and they stopped unconsciously.
They discovered that Chu Zheng was haunted by Yin Qi early in the morning, but they did not expect that it was actually a flying corpse.
The intelligence of the Inferi is extremely low. Even if it is a flying corpse, its intelligence is at most equivalent to that of a five or six year old child.
Furthermore, even flying corpses are disgusted by sunlight. Although they will not be harmed by sunlight, they do not like to be active during the day.
Along the way, this infernal corpse's intelligence was obviously no different from that of ordinary people, and it was not afraid of the sun at all. All its behaviors were too abnormal.
The most likely explanation is that the cultivation level of this Infernal Corpse is far more than what it appears.
When something went wrong, he became a demon. Several monks unanimously gave up their previous plans and no longer followed Chu Zheng.
Most of the Inferi walk alone. There is no sect power behind them, and they don’t have much wealth at all. It’s not worth taking the risk.
Chu Zheng turned around and looked away. These few people were still somewhat sensible, otherwise they would inevitably start killing again today.
He came here to visit the tomb to search for opportunities and collect fragments of high-level spiritual objects. He did not want to cause more disputes. The current situation was just what he wanted.
The sky above the small world is also different from the outside world. The sun and moon are parallel, the sunlight is dim, and it is faintly suppressed by the moonlight.
This is absolutely impossible to happen in the big universe. This means that in the world in front of us, the balance of Yin and Yang has long been lost.
If this situation continues, the Yang Qi will one day be completely swallowed up, the sun will be extinguished, and this world will become a paradise for ghosts and ghosts.
Chu Zheng took out all the maps he had purchased before, compared them one after another, and confirmed his position.
This large tomb is in the shape of a mountain. It is divided into four levels inside and outside. The outermost level has the widest area. The further you go in, the heavier the yin energy becomes. In nearly ten thousand years of exploration, monks of all races have only opened two levels of mountain passes. No one has ever set foot on the third level and the fourth level at the core.
The third major pass, an eighth-level strongman once entered, but after less than two thousand miles, he encountered a corpse king. After a battle, he was severely injured and only Can't help but turn back.
According to what he said, there is far more than one corpse king in the second mountain pass. Even the owner of this big tomb may have become a Yin corpse under the nourishment of Yin Qi over the years.
Under such circumstances, naturally few people dare to take a step beyond the realm of possibility.
The strong men who have entered the ninth level or even higher realms don't seem to be interested in this place, and have never heard of existences of such a realm coming.
Chu Zheng’s goal is at least the third mountain pass.
The existence of eighth-level ancient corpses proves that in that area, there are definitely fragments comparable to the treasures of true immortals. For him, their value is beyond doubt.
In this small world, there are many spiritual mines, and those that have been discovered have basically been occupied by various forces.
However, in this world, there are no rules. Bloody conflicts often occur. The spirit mine has changed owners several times, which is normal in this place.
Chu Zheng followed the direction marked on the map and began to circle around the outermost area.
There should be many fragments of ancient artifacts in this area. He has plenty of time, so there is no need to rush.
In order to avoid some troubles, he did not fly through the air with great fanfare. Instead, he relied on the method of earth escape to travel through the earth while emitting weak spiritual thoughts to sense some buried objects. Fragments of antiquities.
The yin energy underground is more intense, mixed with the unique spiritual energy of the earth, making Chu Zheng feel more and more comfortable.
The Inferi originally originated from the earth, and are naturally close to the energy of earth.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Traveling under the earth, Chu Zheng harvested a lot of fragments of ancient objects, including mostly magical weapons and soldiers, some fragments of talismans, and some strange and strange ornaments.
The grades vary, but they are not ordinary objects, at least above the second level, and there are not a few of them of the sixth or even seventh level.
For these, Chu Zheng was not picky and accepted them all according to the order, so that they can be used in the future.
Ka——
Chu Zheng, who was walking under the earth, suddenly heard an unusual crisp sound.
The next moment, he entered a slightly slippery and muddy corridor. The corridor was filled with an aura that was very familiar to Chu Zheng.
Between and behind the corridor, there were several shriveled corpses scattered about. They all died from dried up essence and blood. They were dressed in different clothes, and a few were obviously alien species.
Boom——
A dull loud noise came, and a black shadow flew towards him, pressing Chu Zheng to the side of the corridor.
The corridor collapsed in an instant, and the remaining majestic force pushed Chu Zheng thousands of feet away, forcing another corridor to be carved out.
The thick arms wrapped in purple hair clamped down on Chu Zheng's neck, and a pair of bloodshot scarlet eyes were full of deadly murderous intent.
There is no doubt that this is an ancient corpse, which is very similar to Chu Zheng's cultivation level, or even better.
Chu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and without any hesitation, he took out the Hanling Ruler with his backhand and hit the ancient corpse's head hard with one foot.
Poof!
The head, which was stronger than ordinary magic weapons, exploded in an instant, black blood spattered, and the weak soul born in it was wiped out in an instant.
One face to face, one head froze, and the body was dead.
The power of the seventh-level treasure exploded in the ground instantly, penetrating to the surface, exploding into majestic waves of earth, and the dust smoke rolled up thousands of feet high, thousands of miles in radius, and the ground shook like an earth dragon turning over. , the movement was extremely terrifying.
After cooking this ancient corpse, Chu Zheng couldn't help but frown.
After the calamity energy disappeared from his side, his spiritual sense seemed to have weakened a lot, and he could no longer predict his own good or bad luck. It was only when he faced the enemy that he noticed a lot of discomfort.
The moment the ancient corpse pounced out, he could only react. If it weren't for the strength of the ancient corpse, which was only on par with him, he would be in great danger.
After regaining consciousness, Chu Zheng carried the remains of the ancient corpse, stepped onto the surface, and left the area first.
Such a big movement will definitely attract the attention of many creatures.
After about ten thousand miles, Chu Zheng stopped on a plain, then dived underground again, and opened up a temporary cave in twos and twos.
He could vaguely sense that there was something beneficial to him in this ancient corpse.
After studying for a moment, Chu Zheng suddenly realized. He raised his hand and turned into a knife, broke open the Dantian of the ancient corpse, and dug out a Yin Dan.
This is the essence of the ancient corpse’s cultivation, comparable to the golden elixir of a Qi practitioner.
At the same time, there is still residual corpse energy on the remains of this ancient corpse, which is also a great benefit to Chu Zheng.
If it were placed in front of ordinary Yin corpses, even if they saw it, they would not be able to absorb it. However, Chu Zheng was different. He possessed the method of subduing Qi and extracted the corpse energy contained in the remains of ancient corpses. It's a difficult thing.
Chu Zheng drew out the Corpse Qi in a few seconds, and then drank it together with the Yin Pill. Soon he felt his cultivation level begin to soar, approaching the sixth level rapidly.
After digesting it for several days, Chu Zheng had just refined all the Yin Dan and Corpse Qi, and his cultivation level had reached the sixth level.
The whole body is full of purple, without any trace of color.
This large tomb is obviously the right one to come to. Not only these fragments, but also these ancient corpses are also a chance for him.
Chu Zheng stood up with satisfaction and explored his spiritual thoughts.
After a moment, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he raised his eyes and glanced at a corner of the plain.
The bone wings opened, and in the next moment, he traveled thousands of miles and arrived in front of a ruined temple.
The temple has obviously existed for a long time and is almost completely decayed.
On the plaque in front of the door are five large gilt characters. They are mottled and slightly blackened, but the writing can still be seen.
‘Zhengchu Daojun Temple’
Looking at the dilapidated temple in front of him, Chu Zheng’s scalp suddenly felt numb.
How is this possible? !
Zhengchu Daojun, he obviously chose the Taoist name at will, how could there be the same temple here? !
He suddenly pushed the door open and stepped into the temple. On the three-foot altar, the statue of the god was preserved as before and had not been damaged.
The statue is wearing a yin-yang Taoist robe, and its face is exactly the same as that of Chu Zheng.
In an instant, the chill in Chu Zheng's heart spread to his bones, making it difficult to describe.
