If the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave was the headquarters of the Blood Refining Hall back then, then the Dripping Blood Cave was the retreat that belonged exclusively to the black-hearted old man.

Chi Yao followed his memory and looked carefully at the edge of the Merciless Sea. His eyes scanned the stone wall above his head inch by inch, and he soon discovered seven red stones inlaid on the cave wall.

Each of those stones is about half the size of a palm. Except for the color, the texture is the same as the stone next to it. The seven stones are connected together to vaguely form the shape of the spoon of the Big Dipper.

"found it!"

He regained his composure and walked under the red stone.

There is a slightly shallower pool, with seven red stones reflected in it, vaguely forming the shape of a hand.

Chi Yao stretched out his palm and followed the reflection in the water all the way down, and found seven small bumps at the bottom of the pool. He used both hands to press down all seven bumps.

For an instant, the entire cave seemed to be silent.

The next second, the sound of "creak" sounded.

When Chi Yao heard the sound, he released his palms and looked back.

I saw that the almost seamless stone wall behind me actually retreated completely, slowly revealing a new hole.

"Spell or mechanism?"

This thought flashed through his mind, and he stepped inside.

After entering the cave, there is a rather deep tunnel, but the black-hearted old man is still kind to himself. Every other section of the side wall is inlaid with luminous gravel that can illuminate.

After walking in depth for a while, I finally saw the light ahead.

After hurriedly taking a few steps in, Chi Yao found himself in a stone room.

The stone chamber is quite empty. On the left side are two huge stone statues. One stands with a kind face and a smile. The clothes on his body are carved as if they are blown by the wind, which makes him look a bit like a Buddhist Bodhisattva.

The other one has a completely different appearance. It is ferocious and ferocious, with a black face and ghostly horns, eight hands and four heads, and even a trace of blood flowing down from its mouth, which makes people shudder.

Holy Mother of the Netherworld, King of Heavenly Evil!

There is also a stone table in front of these two statues. There is an incense burner on the table and several packages of incense candles next to it, which are all covered with dust.

On the other side of the stone room, except for a few futons thrown casually on the ground, there was nothing else of note.

To be honest, this is the first time Chi Yao has observed these two gods believed in by the Demon Cult so closely.

Although the level of martial arts in the Zhuxian world does not seem to be too high, as one can neither live forever nor move stars to change battles, the level of mystery is really not low.

The Qingyun Sect has the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, the Tianyin Temple has the Bodhisattva Buddha, and the Demon Sect also has the Netherworld Madonna and the Heavenly Evil King. There are even Heavenly Books and Heavenly Emperor Treasures of unknown origin. These characters seem to have never appeared, but their beliefs and names have not

It has endured for a long time, and I don’t know what kind of secret is hidden behind it.

After passing through this stone room and continuing forward, Chi Yao saw several rooms and even the body of the black-hearted old man. No, that could only be regarded as a skeleton.

As if thinking about its old master, the blood-devouring bead flashed a bright light on its surface.

Continuing to move forward, Chi Yao rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found in a box the Hehua Bell, one of the four greatest treasures of the Demon Sect, the magic weapon of the Hehuan sect.

As for how this thing got into the hands of the black-hearted old man, it is another story similar to that of Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying.

Continuing to explore, finally, a piece of writing appeared on the stone wall of a stone room.

The first two characters indicate its identity—Heavenly Book!

"The creation of heaven and earth is called the time of chaos, when it is ignorant and undifferentiated. The sun and the moon contain their radiance, and the heaven and earth are mixed together. The outline has changed, and the clear and turbid have become old.

The reason why heaven and earth can last long is because it does not generate itself, so it can last long. However, all things in heaven and earth have their own appearances. All living beings are obsessed with and confused by the appearance of me, the appearance of people, the appearance of all living beings, and the appearance of life-spans.

The three poisons, three fears and three terrors cannot last long.

There are no punishments in the heavenly phenomena, and nameless praises in the Tao. Therefore, it is said that those who have no self, no one, no sentient beings, and no lifespan will reach the light. Those who uphold the right path, the inner body's own nature, and the heaven and earth take the original heart.

Therefore, in the movement and rest of the earth, it is the inner vision of heaven and earth.

Therefore, there is no reality or emptiness.

Therefore, heaven and earth are left to their own devices, without action or creation.

If the old things don’t exist, it’s not enough to prepare!

…

"

When Chi Yao focused his eyes on the Heavenly Book, the Blood Demon Sutra in his body suddenly began to operate spontaneously and uncontrollably. At the same time, a long-lost reminder also sounded in his mind.

[Beep! Heavenly Book detected]

[Exploration completion 20%]

[After completing the exploration, you can get a six-star reward once]

This reminder just pulled Chi Yao out of his almost addiction to the Heavenly Book. While calming down the fluctuating mana in his body, he muttered: "One-fifth of the exploration speed, that is to say, only after all five volumes of the Heavenly Book have been found can one

Get a reward? Tsk tsk, this is forcing me to be the enemy of the world!"

You know, this volume of heavenly book without an owner is nothing more than that.

The other four volumes of the Heavenly Book, one in Tianyin Temple and one in the Ghost King Sect, are all valuable treasures within the sect and are not easy to obtain.

The other two volumes are even more outrageous. One is in the Treasure House of the Emperor of Heaven. That thing is not even open all the time. You have to wait until it takes the initiative to appear in the world before you can get it.

As for the last volume, it is the Qingyun Sect’s great killing weapon, the Immortal Killing Sword itself.

This mission is extremely difficult.

"However, it is fun when there is a challenge."

Chi Yao smiled slightly and simply sat cross-legged in front of the stone carvings of the Heavenly Book, "Those founders of the sect can understand the exercises or secret techniques from the Heavenly Book, but I can't do it without reason. In the final analysis, the Blood Demon Sutra was processed twice by the black-hearted old man.

Now that we have found the source of something, we might as well create our own method. The one that suits you is the best!"

So he began a life of seclusion.

Although saying this may be a bit rude to the Black Water Black Snake, the large amount of blood essence stored in the blood-devouring bead has indeed solved Chi Yao's eating problem, making him very focused on being closed.

Chi Yao wanted to create a method, but this method was not created for this body, but for the original body.

For a long time, the path of Gu cultivation he has taken, in addition to refining Gu, has focused more on improving himself in terms of physical fitness and energy. After all, moves and other things are naturally left to various Gu creatures to deal with, and the main body needs to do it.

It just serves as a basic support to control more Gu creatures at the same time, or to maintain it for a longer period of time.

But now, the threshold between mortal and immortal has been set before us.

According to the past improvement methods, it seems difficult to truly bridge the gap between Gu Master and Gu Immortal.

After all, the human body has its limits after all.

Of course, he also found another way, which is to merge human and Gu into one. As long as Chiyou Gu can be promoted to the immortal level, then the physical body that is integrated with it will naturally enter the category of immortal.

The state in the snow world is the best example.

With the blessing of luck, his Chi You body not only reached the realm of Vajra, but could also condense Chi You's Dharma and a proper immortal body.

However, luck that is as easy to use as in the snow world is rare.

This method of improving purely through luck is still too restrictive.

Now he wants to use the Book of Heaven to find a more universal follow-up path.

…

…

Time flies and it’s half a year.

In the past six months, the aftermath of the previous war between good and evil has been dissipating rapidly.

After all, the Poison God failed to make the Changsheng Hall and the Hehuan Sect bow their heads, so he could only lead the Wan Du Sect back to his ancestral home, the Poison Snake Valley.

The Hehuan sect also returned to its home base. As for the Changsheng Hall, which was originally responsible for guarding the wild holy land, it had to find another place to settle down.

Because the original Demon Mountain Temple was in ruins due to the collapse of the Shura Tower and the eruption of the Earth Fire, and the entire Demon Cult was torn apart, no one was willing to contribute to rebuilding the main altar, so they simply dispersed.

The Demon Sect was torn apart, and the Qingyun Sect was no better.

After the leader Tian Chengzi used the Zhuxian Sword to kill everyone in the Demon Sect, he did many crazy things because he was not strong enough to resist the evil spirits entering his body.

At the critical moment, Wan Jianyi, who had returned from the wilderness of the North, joined forces with Daoxuan, the contemporary disciple, and accidentally killed Tian Chengzi in order to stop him from going crazy.

The master's death was a serious matter, so in order not to reveal the inside story of his master becoming a demon, Wan Jianyi voluntarily accepted the charge of murdering his master.

Later, he was sentenced to death in a discussion among the masters of the Six Meridians Peak.

Immediately afterwards, Daoxuan became the new generation leader of Qingyun Sect, and several peak leaders also changed.

In the Demon Sect's previous battle to attack the mountain, they had already won a tough battle and were seriously injured.

Those who have outstanding disciples under their command basically take advantage of the situation and take a back seat.

This can also be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to the new head Daoxuan Zhenren.

After all, his qualifications are one generation lower than those of the old peak masters, and it will be difficult for everyone to get along with each other, especially the dignity of the leader will be damaged.

After all, you are a dignified boss, but if everyone you meet is a generation younger, how can you have the confidence to speak?

In this way, Qingyun Sect gradually completed the replacement of old and new.
To be continued...
