Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 184: Start the Dungeon
Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin came to the junction of Tiannan and Tianlan grasslands.

This was the meeting place agreed upon by him and Nanlong Hou. When Jiang Tongyue brought Xin Ruyin here, Nanlong Hou had already been waiting here for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that next to Nanlong Hou, there is an old man in white, whose cultivation has actually reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

When he saw this person, a thoughtful look flashed in Jiang Tongyue's eyes. If he remembered correctly, this person should be the good friend of Nanlong Hou.

On the surface, he is just a casual cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, but in reality, he is a Nascent Soul stage elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect, one of the six sects of the evil way.

However, all this has nothing to do with Jiang Tongyue. With his current strength, let alone the Ghost Spirit Sect, even if all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the six sects of the Demonic Path come together, they will not be able to do anything to him.

"Fellow Daoist Nan, my disciple is good at formations. With her here, a small Tai Miao Divine Prohibition is not a problem at all!"

Just as if he could not see the Nascent Soul cultivator beside Nanlong Hou, Jiang Tongyue introduced Xin Ruyin beside him to Nanlong Hou, and also introduced Xin Ruyin's attainments in formation.

He was not exaggerating. Xin Ruyin's attainments in formation had already reached a terrifying level.

Although the Taimiao Divine Ban is a well-known formation ban that has been around since ancient times, it can be broken as long as Xin Ruyin takes action.

"I have heard of Fellow Daoist Xin's name a long time ago. Now I can see Fellow Daoist Xin in action. This trip is worthwhile... This is my good friend Yunshan. It was Fellow Daoist Yun and I who discovered the remains of Master Cangkun's cave."

Nanlong Hou naturally would not object to Jiang Tongyue's proposal. After all, he also knew that Xin Ruyin's attainments in formation were among the top in the entire human world.

What's more, Xin Ruyin is also a Divine Transformation cultivator, so it is even more impossible for him to offend Xin Ruyin.

Yunshan, who was standing aside, bowed to Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin with a smile on his face, without saying anything more.

Now that Jiang Tongyue, the number one person in the human world, has taken action, the method for Master Cangkun to enter the Demon Valley is no longer exclusive to the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Therefore, this time when he followed Nanlong Hou to Tianlan Grassland, it was enough for him to harvest some treasures.

When Jiang Tongyue saw that Nanlong Hou agreed, she couldn't help but smile, and then she followed Nanlong Hou and flew towards Tianlan Grassland.

Half a day later, the four of them stopped in front of an ordinary little rocky mountain. The rocky mountain was only a few hundred feet in size. There was no grass on the entire mountain, and it was full of huge gray-white rocks.

"Senior Jiang, please wait for a moment. Fellow Daoist Yun and I will open the restriction here and we can go in."

As if he was afraid that Jiang Tongyue would misunderstand, Nanlong Hou turned around and explained to Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin.

Afterwards, Nanlong Hou and Yunshan each took out a small flag several inches in size from their storage bags.

The two small flags looked different. One was shining green and crystal clear, while the other was surrounded by a yellow haze and had strange runes on it, which looked quite extraordinary.

Afterwards, Nanlong Hou and Yunshan chanted incantations, and the spiritual energy in their bodies surged and was continuously injected into the two small flags.

As the two of them continued to inject spiritual energy, the two small flags began to shake wildly, as if they were about to fly out of their hands at any time.

Finally, after the spiritual energy in the two small flags accumulated to a certain level, the two small flags finally sank directly into the small stone mountain below and disappeared without a trace.

After a moment, the quiet little stone mountain finally began to shake, and a vertical crack appeared from the top of the mountain to the ground.

At the same time, Nanlonghou and Yunshan's spells had not stopped. Along with the sound of their spells, the entrance on the small stone mountain became bigger and bigger.

A moment later, a bluestone passage leading directly underground appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Senior Jiang, this is the entrance to Master Cangkun's cave."

After doing all this, Nanlong Hou finally had time to speak and said to Jiang Tongyue.

Hearing this, Jiang Tongyue's expression remained unchanged and she simply nodded.

Afterwards, Nanlonghou and Yunshan led the way and walked straight down the bluestone steps.

Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin also followed Nanlonghou and his companions and walked down the bluestone steps.

The further down they went, the darker the bluestone passage became. Fortunately, the surrounding walls were inlaid with white moonstones, which could provide everyone with some faint vision.

Although their cultivation had reached that level, this dim environment was nothing to them.

Finally, after about a meal's time, the four of them finally arrived at a mysterious hall.

The four walls of this hall are full of blue fluorescence, as if they were made of jade.

Moreover, the four walls of this hall were covered with a formation restriction. Even with the spiritual power of Jiang Tongyue and that of an early-stage Void Refinement cultivator, any attack would be bounced back.

Although this is also because Jiang Tongyue did not release all of his spiritual consciousness, it can also reflect the magic of the Taimiao Divine Prohibition.

If Xin Ruyin had not been brought along this time, with Jiang Tongyue's cultivation level, it would probably take some effort to break this ancient restriction called the Taimiao Divine Restriction.

"Senior Jiang, this is the Great Divine Prohibition. I hope Fellow Daoist Xin can help break this Great Divine Prohibition."

At this time, Nanlong Hou turned around and spoke to Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin beside him.

Yunshan, who was standing aside, didn't say anything, but his face was full of approval.

"Ruyin, I'll have to trouble you to break the Taimiao Divine Forbidden Technique that was famous in ancient times."

After hearing what Nanlong Hou said, Jiang Tongyue turned his head and said to Xin Ruyin.

"Master, don't worry. Leave this formation to me."

Since her master had spoken, Xin Ruyin no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement. She took out some formations from her storage bag and prepared to break the restrictions of the formations.

It must be said that the Tai Miao Divine Ban was truly miraculous. Even with Xin Ruyin's current attainments in formations, it took her a full incense stick of time to successfully break the Tai Miao Divine Ban.

After the Tai Miao divine ban was lifted, a stone door appeared in front of everyone.

"Fellow Daoist Xin is indeed the number one formation master in the human world. He only needed such a short time to successfully lift the Taimiao Divine Prohibition!"

When Nanlong Hou saw that Xin Ruyin had lifted the Taimiao divine restriction so easily, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

Even Yunshan, who was standing by, had a look of shock on his face.

"Although my disciple's strength is mediocre, his talent in formation is outstanding."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue also had a smile on his face. Among his many disciples, Xin Ruyin helped him the most. If it weren't for Xin Ruyin, Jiang Tongyue wouldn't have been able to refine the Sky Escape Boat, the Portable Cave Mansion and many other magic weapons so easily.

Afterwards, Nanlong Hou walked forward and pushed open the stone door. Suddenly, a huge space appeared in front of everyone.

In the center of this huge hall, there is a small and exquisite pavilion, standing there quietly.

This small and exquisite pavilion is carved entirely from sparkling white jade. Although it has only two floors, it is more than ten feet tall.

Moreover, on the door of the pavilion, which is several meters high, there is a plaque with the three characters "Yuji Pavilion" inscribed on it.

What is even more eye-catching is that not far in front of the gate of Yuji Pavilion, there is a black and old altar with a silver scroll on it, which looks very extraordinary.

"Could it be that the person painted on this scroll is none other than the Master Cang Kun who roamed the southern part of the country five thousand years ago?"

At this moment, Yunshan saw the silver scroll that was being offered, and immediately walked forward, picked up the silver scroll, unfolded it, and asked curiously.

At this time, Jiang Tongyue was also looking at the opened scroll, his eyes shining with golden light, and it was obvious that his divine pupil of truth was activated.

With the magical effect of the Divine Eye that can see through illusions, Jiang Tongyue successfully saw that the back of the scholar with a sword on his back in the painting was actually a four-armed demon with a green face and fangs.

His divine eyes can not only detect the flaws in all formations in the world, but also make it impossible to carry out any fantasies in front of him.

Of course, the Divine Eye for Seeing Illusions also has its limits. With Jiang Tongyue's level of cultivation, he can only detect the illusions created by cultivators in the fusion stage.

If it was an illusion created by a Mahayana cultivator, Jiang Tongyue's divine eyes that could see through delusion would not be able to detect it.

However, as Jiang Tongyue's cultivation level breaks through, the power of his Divine Pupil that can break delusion will become stronger and stronger.

“Tsk tsk! I didn’t expect that the famous Ancient Demon Blood Flame in the Demon Realm would be reduced to such a miserable state now.”

Jiang Tongyue looked at the silver scroll in Yunshan's hand with a sneer on his face and revealed the other party's identity without hesitation.

He didn't need to rely on the method provided by the Blood Flame Soul to enter the Demon Valley, so naturally he didn't plan to leave the Blood Flame Soul behind.

At this time, Nanlong Hou and Yunshan felt a little uneasy about Jiang Tongyue's words, and they all looked at the silver scroll.

However, the scholar with a sword on his back on the silver scroll remained unchanged, as if it was just an ordinary painting.

Seeing this, Jiang Tongyue sneered, snapped his fingers, and a faint golden lightning shot out and landed on the silver scroll.

Suddenly, the scholar with a sword on his back on the silver scroll let out a shrill scream, and Yunshan was so scared that he let go of the silver scroll.

The silver scroll released by Yunshan did not fall to the ground, but was strangely suspended in the air. The Confucian scholar in the painting was screaming constantly.

The evil-repelling divine thunder is the nemesis of ghosts and demons, not to mention that the magic weapon Qingzhu Fengyun Sword in Jiang Tongyue's hand, which was made from the ten thousand year old golden thunder bamboo, has been restored by the system, and its power is more than a hundred times more powerful than the original version.

If Jiang Tongyue had not mobilized only a trace of the divine thunder to ward off evil, the soul of the ancient blood-flame demon in the painting would have been directly killed by the divine thunder to ward off evil released by Jiang Tongyue.

At this time, the soul of the Blood Flame Ancient Demon was also very confused as to why Jiang Tongyue could perceive his true identity.

You know, he is attached to this silver scroll, and even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage cannot detect his true identity.

Wait! The Blood Flame Ancient Demon's soul only realized belatedly that two of the four people in front of him were actually Divine Transformation cultivators.

Moreover, the Jindan stage cultivator who realized his true identity had dazzling golden light blooming in his eyes. It was obviously an unknown pupil technique, and it seemed to be quite powerful.

However, what surprised him more was not this incident.

"I never thought that after tens of thousands of years, there would still be a cultivator of the human race who knew my name!"

At this time, the scholar with the silver scroll and the sword on his back no longer concealed himself, and turned his head to look at Jiang Tongyue, and said in a vicissitudes of life tone.

"Indeed, I know a lot. Yin Yue, why don't you come and meet your old acquaintance?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tongyue just nodded and then spoke softly.

The next moment, a silver light flew out from the storage bag on his waist and transformed into a giant silver wolf, which glanced at the scholar with a sword on his back in the silver scroll.

"Princess Linglong!"

The scholar with a sword on his back in the silver scroll seemed to be shocked after seeing the giant silver wolf transformed by Silver Moon, and his tone was no longer as solemn as before.

The soul of Ancient Demon Blood Flame knew about the famous Princess Linglong in the spiritual world. After all, he inherited all the memories of Ancient Demon Blood Flame.

"I didn't expect it to be you! No... Blood Flame is not as weak as you. You should be Blood Flame's soul, right?"

Yin Yue glanced at the scholar with a sword on his back in the silver scroll, and asked the scholar with a sword on his back in his lazy voice with a hint of doubt in it.

"Yes, I am indeed just a fragment of my original soul. I wanted to find a chance to unlock the restrictions of my original body, but I didn't expect to meet Princess Linglong."

At this time, the Blood Flame soul, whose identity was exposed by Yin Yue, no longer concealed it and directly admitted it.

"Okay, enough catching up. Yin Yue, I'm going to use the Soul Searching Technique on the Blood Flame Soul to see if I can find a way to enter the Fallen Demon Valley."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue interrupted the reminiscence between Yin Yue and Xueyan's soul and said to Yin Yue.

If the ancient demon Blood Flame was in its peak state, with Jiang Tongyue's current cultivation level, it would be impossible for him to use his soul-searching technique on Blood Flame.

However, the Blood Flame now is just a split soul. Although ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are still unable to use the soul-searching technique on the Blood Flame, unfortunately, Jiang Tongyue is a Divine Transformation cultivator!
After hearing Jiang Tongyue's words, the Blood Flame Soul felt something was wrong. He didn't want to let Jiang Tongyue succeed, so he wanted to end his life directly.

However, at this moment, the Blood Flame Soul only felt a pain in his head, and then the whole person fell into a drowsy state.

Jiang Tongyue used the "Shen Jing Thorn" from the Dayan Jue. The power of the Shen Jing Thorn was extremely astonishing.

In addition, Jiang Tongyue's soul was no weaker than that of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, so Xue Yan's soul was unable to resist at all and was immersed in the illusion created by Jiang Tongyue.

In order to avoid any further complications, Jiang Tongyue did not hesitate to use the soul-searching technique on the Blood Flame soul.

Jiang Tongyue not only obtained the method to go to the Demon Valley from the Blood Flame Soul, but also obtained many secrets and secret techniques of the demon world.
