Ning Fan finally decided to take little Dugu with him.

With Emperor Xia accompanying him on this trip, there will be no danger along the way.

Emperor Xia has entered the secret land of Xia Kingdom countless times alone, and the greatest danger is only enough to kill ordinary Life Immortals.

For Emperor Xia, any danger is not danger.

When Emperor Ling heard that Ning Fan and Dugu wanted to go to Xia Kingdom's secret land, he naturally sternly dissuaded them.

However, when Emperor Xia showed a hint of strength in front of Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling was so shocked that he no longer had any doubts.

Emperor Ling never knew that the last Emperor Xia of the Xia Kingdom had lived six million years to this life.

Emperor Xia's strength was too unfathomable. With him accompanying him, Emperor Ling felt relieved.

"Let's go."

Emperor Xia took just one step, and ripples immediately appeared under his feet.

The ripples echoed to Ning Fan and Dugu's feet, and the two of them immediately felt like they were integrated into the world.

In just one breath, Emperor Xia had already taken Ning Fan and Dugu and escaped from the snow to the sky.

"What a mysterious speed!" Ning Fan's eyes were filled with wonder.

"This is the art of shrinking the ground into an inch. Only a handful of true immortals can understand it. Take this jade slip, which records my experience in understanding this art. If one day you become a true immortal, you can study this carefully.

Skills will surely pay off."

Emperor Xia casually threw a jade slip to Ning Fan without looking back.

His eyes, filled with pain, looked at the bottomless abyss in front of him.

This abyss is the entrance to the secret land of Xia Kingdom.

Ning Fan put away the jade slips, only took a glance at it, then sighed and put away the jade slips.

The jade slips record all of Emperor Xia's insights into the art of shrinking the ground into an inch. However, Ning Fan is still unable to comprehend these insights.

Looking at the bottomless abyss, little Dugu felt a slight pain in his heart for some reason.

She frowned and her face was slightly pale.

Ning Fan grabbed Little Dugu's soft palm and frowned. Little Dugu's hands were so cold...

After channeling his own magic power into little Dugu's body, the latter's complexion gradually improved.

"Don't go if you feel uncomfortable." Ning Fan said with concern.

"No, I want to go. But, can you let go of my hand..."

Little Dugu's pretty face turned red, and she wanted to take out her hand, but her palm was tightly held by Ning Fan, making her unable to pull away.

This is the first time she holds hands with Ning Fan...

She could clearly feel the temperature in Ning Fan's palm. The warmth and safety made her feel a little nostalgic.

"That's it. I hold your hand and you follow me. After entering the secret place, no matter what dangers there are, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Even though Emperor Xia was following him, Ning Fan still remained extremely wary.

Never be careless at any time.

"Follow me and don't take a single step."

Emperor Xia reminded him and jumped into the abyss.

Ning Fan temporarily let go of Xiao Dugu's hand, and Xiao Dugu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Suddenly, little Dugu felt his soft waist being hugged by a strong arm.

Ning Fan hugged little Dugu and jumped straight to the bottom of the abyss. The abyss was tens of millions of feet deep. Emperor Xia was waiting for Ning Fan and Ning Fan at the bottom of the abyss.

Ning Fan let go of Little Dugu's waist and took Little Dugu's hand again. Ning Fan began to look at the environment at the bottom of the abyss.

This is an ancient ruins with an artificial crystal sun in the sky, making the ground as bright as day.

The soil underfoot was very soft and covered with weeds, and there was a scent of grass in the air. It was also mixed with the smell of blood.

It was very light, but Ning Fan had a very keen sense of the smell of blood.

In the green grass, you can see collapsed ancient stele from time to time. Each ancient stele has only two words on it, written in sacred script...

Abandon the sword!

The handwriting was carved with a sword. It was clearly graceful, but it also contained an edge, as if it was carved by a woman.

It is not difficult to imagine that this place is the secret place of the Sword Ancestor, and the words were naturally carved by the Sword Ancestor.

But why did the Sword Ancestor carve the word "abandoned sword" and carve so many words on it?

Could it be that this abandoned sword contains some profound sword theory?

"I learned my sword intention in this secret place, so it has a hint of the sword intention of the Sword Ancestor."

"After passing this grassland, there will be a deserted forest. That is where the Immortal Formation is, and the people you sent died there."

Emperor Xia finished speaking and walked forward.

Ning Fan took a deep look at the ancient monument, then led Dugu away.

Dugu looked at the ancient monument, his expression was startled and confused for a while.

"Abandon the sword, abandon the sword..."

She murmured these two words, and her heart ached slightly.

She didn't know why she felt this way, but she had no reason to think that the woman who engraved these two words must be very painful in her heart.

Why she felt like this, she didn't know.

After walking forward for more than ten miles, a huge wild forest appeared in front of us.

In the wild forest, every giant tree is one hundred thousand feet tall, with dead branches and no leaves.

On the ground, bones that have fallen for many years can be seen everywhere, as well as some newly arrived corpses.

The owners of these corpses are all powerful men from the Heavenly Palace.

Ning Fan looked at the giant trees with solemn eyes. He could tell that among every dozens of giant trees, there was one giant tree that contained the Sword Ancestor Sword Qi, which could instantly kill a monk.

Thousands of giant trees lined up in an array, forming a terrifyingly powerful fairy-level sword array!

The reason why it is a fairy-level sword array is because the power of the sword energy weakens over time due to wear and tear.

This formation was naturally set up by the Sword Ancestor. If the power of this formation is at its peak, any true immortal who breaks into this formation will only die!

Ning Fan would not feel any sadness when he saw the corpses of countless strong men from the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace was originally an enemy, but he was forced to become a slave by him. If he dies, he will die.

Emperor Xia looked at those withered bones that had fallen for many years, but his eyes were filled with sadness and guilt.

Those people were all powerful men from the Xia Kingdom six million years ago, because Emperor Xia was confused and fell here.

Tsk tsk tsk!

As Ning Fan and his party went deep into the wild forest, the sword array on all sides suddenly reacted. Hundreds of thousands of Sword Ancestor Sword Qi broke out of the array and came towards Ning Fan and others.

Without saying a word, Ning Fan pulled Xiao Dugu behind him, as if he was ready to take action at any time.

His eyes were extremely solemn, there were at least 1,200 Sword Ancestor Sword Qi here!

Each sword energy can instantly kill a monk to pieces. If attacked by twelve hundred sword energy at the same time, even an ordinary Life Immortal will be severely injured!

"receive!"

Emperor Xia grabbed it with his big hand, and all the twelve hundred sword energies were absorbed into his palm.

The magic power condensed. All the sword energy merged into one, forming a golden sword light.

After concentrating again, the golden sword light turned into a small golden sword.

"This thing can be used for self-defense."

Emperor Xia handed the golden sword to Ning Fan and continued moving forward without saying a word.

Ning Fan took the small sword and felt the vast sword energy contained in the small sword, and his eyes changed.

This small sword is made of sword energy. Once it is sacrificed, it can be transformed into one thousand two hundred sword ancestor sword energy, which can deal a heavy blow to the Immortal of Life!

Putting away the golden sword, Ning Fan held hands with little Dugu and followed closely behind Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia stopped under the largest giant tree in the wild forest and pointed towards the giant tree.

But there was a flash of golden light, and in an instant, the giant tree in front of him turned into ashes and disappeared.

The next moment, all the trees in the deserted forest turned into flying ash and disappeared.

After doing all this, Emperor Xia raised his hand and grabbed the ground, pulled out a sword-shaped golden stone from the ground, and gave it to little Dugu.

"The Immortal Level Sword Formation has been destroyed. This is a sword stone formed from the power of the sword formation. It can help sword cultivators greatly improve their cultivation. A piece of sword stone is enough for you to directly break through to the realm of peeping into the void."

Little Dugu looked at Ning Fan, saw Ning Fan nodded, and accepted the sword stone.

"It's very dangerous after passing through the deserted forest. Of course, the danger is for you. Follow me closely and never leave even half a step away!"
