The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 254: 251: Secret Realm in Danger, Weird Environment

Do you want to ask Chu Zhou what it felt like to pass through the Tianmen?
He just wanted to say that he absolutely didn't want to experience the same thing a second time!

There is a huge gap between the density of spiritual energy in the paradise and the world. The pressure difference formed by this will automatically begin to balance when the sky gate opens, resulting in a surge and explosion of spiritual energy.

Entering the Heavenly Gate at this moment was like entering a blender. The whole person was constantly spinning, squeezing, and colliding inside, and after a few seconds, I felt dizzy.

Facing this kind of "natural disaster", Chu Zhou's cultivation was not enough, and it was only his strong physique that allowed him to hold on for a while longer.

He only held on for a little while longer, and when he saw the land gods being thrown out like rags, he fainted.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Chu Zhou gradually regained consciousness from his daze. Then, he felt numbness, swelling and pain coming from all over his body, just like the miserable feeling of having all the bones broken.

"Oh, fuck..."

After struggling to move his body, Chu Zhou finally straightened his twisted body and lay on the ground in a "big" shape. Only then did he feel better.

He wanted to open his eyes, but the strong light from outside made him close his eyes involuntarily. Tears were stimulated and rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

However, after all, the body has undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion, so its recovery ability is definitely strong enough.

He urged his qi, blood and magic power to circulate, nourishing them over and over again, and gradually he regained the feeling of controlling his body.

However, compared to the bad situation inside his body, Chu Zhou felt more oppression and shackles from the outside world.

This was a very strange feeling. Chu Zhou couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and experience it carefully.

Then, he felt even more differences!

There is no doubt that there are more and more abundant spiritual energy in the secret realm, and the number of spiritual energy per unit density is far greater than that in the present world.

With Chu Zhou's cultivation level at the Golden Core stage, the concentration of spiritual energy in the present world is not enough for him to practice.
Only in a quiet room for retreat, or at the nodes of the earth veins that have been regulated by the Xuanzhen Palace's mountain protection formation, can the concentration of spiritual energy be sufficient to support his normal practice.

In a sense, no matter how good the formation is, he can still move forward bravely in the Jindan realm, but if he reaches the Yuanying stage, the current environment will be far from being able to support his existence.

To make an inappropriate comparison, it is like keeping a great white shark in a shallow pool, but the environment does not allow it to survive.

But this secret realm is different. The concentration of spiritual energy in the secret realm is much higher than that in the present world. Chu Zhou just takes a casual breath and can feel the spiritual energy swarming into his body, as if filling up all his cells.

In theory, this should be a good thing, but the problem is that the concentration seems to be so high that it creates a strange pressure.

It's like if there is fog all around, you can do whatever you want; but if it's water flowing, your arm movements will encounter resistance; if it's a swamp, you might even drown.

The rich spiritual inspiration seemed to be unusually sticky, so that it was even more difficult for Chu Zhou to mobilize it.

He even had a feeling that if he used some high-level techniques at this time, it might be even more difficult, or he might not be able to use it at all.

The most intuitive feeling is spiritual consciousness. In this world, he can scan a hundred miles with just one thought, and he can cover everything in detail.

But here, even when he extended his spiritual sense to spread over an area of ​​ten feet, it seemed a bit difficult.

Chu Zhou was not sure what caused this result. Perhaps it was because the spiritual energy was too strong, causing a pressure difference, or something else.

But there is no doubt that the power he can exert in this secret realm will be greatly reduced!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chu Zhou felt a great crisis and the hairs on his body stood up.

He rolled forward almost instinctively, rolling on the ground several times before he stabilized his body.

Then, he could no longer care about anything else and tried hard to open his eyes. His narrowed eyes caught the blazing light from the outside world.

And, a gorgeous tiger!
This tiger is three meters long, with shiny fur and faintly visible strong muscle outlines. The word "king" on its forehead shines brightly, showing that it is no ordinary creature.

There were two fangs protruding from the corners of his mouth, with blood streaking on them, obviously he had just returned from a meal.

This beast seemed extremely cunning. It just crawled forward, approached silently, and then attacked by surprise, trying to kill with one blow.

It was because Chu Zhou had a keen sense that he dodged at the critical moment, but the big beast saw that its sneak attack had failed and let out a long roar into the sky.

Roar!
roar roar...

A deep tiger roar exploded beside his ears, and the sound waves were visible to the naked eye. Chu Zhou was almost shaken to the point of losing his balance.

In just a moment of delay, it leaped up and stretched out its tiger claws, striking directly over.

The only reaction Chu Zhou could do was to put his hands in front of him, and the magic power in his body surged and turned into a stream of energy that was released outwards.

This is considered the simplest defensive method for warriors. If it were placed in the outside world, Chu Zhou's magical power could easily transform it into a ten-foot-high air wall that is indestructible.

But here, a thin layer of dragon scale armor condenses outside the body.

Then, Chu Zhou was knocked flying, as if he had been hit by an unstoppable blow, and he directly broke several trees before he stopped.

The impact this time was quite great. Chu Zhou was already seriously injured and was hit hard again. He spat out a mouthful of blood when he opened his mouth.

The tiger seemed to have noticed Chu Zhou's extraordinaryness, and did not even stop. The word "king" on its forehead shone brightly, and it opened its mouth and roared again!
hoo hoo hoo!
This time, wind blades appeared out of nowhere in the air.

They were all half-moon sharp blades about ten feet long, dozens of them entangled together, forming a high-speed rotating wind blade tornado.

Then, these wind blades plowed through the ground, crushing everything along the way and covering Chu Zhou.

For a moment, only streams of blood spurted out, as if they were going to dye the wind blade tornado bright red.

The tiger seemed to be quite confident in its attack. After doing all this, it did not move again and stood proudly in the same place.

It holds its head high with a look of contempt, as if showing its kingly demeanor!
Of course, it does have its merits. Whether in this secret realm or in the real world, it is the best among spiritual beasts.

But when the wind blade tornado completely dissipated, a figure was seen sitting with his knees hugged in the original place.

He buried his head deep between his legs, leaving only the thickest part of his body exposed.

The wind blade tornado was certainly powerful enough, leaving a crisscross pattern of wounds on his body, some of which were covered in blood and flesh, and some of which were deep enough to reveal the bones.

As for the clothes, they were already torn and stained with blood.

It was also at this moment that Chu Zhou raised his head!

His eyes were cold, and he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth. He stood up and it could be seen that he had already revealed the form of an unparalleled domineering body that was several meters tall.

Although the scars looked shocking, they healed automatically and turned into lines in a short while.

He casually took off his torn clothes, stretched his muscles, and with the sound of bones rubbing against each other, Chu Zhou half-knelt down with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Good beast, you had a great time just now, now, let's start the second round!"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Zhou had already rushed out. In this unique environment of the secret realm, he had to adapt his magic skills to it. It was more trustworthy to use his own fists and feet.

The tiger seemed to sense the offense, its hair stood on end and it pounced over without hesitation.

When it comes to close combat, the tiger is obviously more experienced.

It seemed like it was charging head-on, but in fact it jumped nimbly after landing and twisted its body to avoid the frontal attack. Then it raised its hand and slapped down a palm as big as a human head.

On it, a tiger claw popped out, taller and sharper than a knife, and seemed to reflect cold light.

Not to mention, its tiger tail swung half a circle and headed towards Chu Zhou's head.

The strange thing is, no one knows what means it used, but such a sharp tail swing did not make any sound of breaking through the air, which seemed both ferocious and treacherous! Chu Zhou's method of dealing with it was actually very simple, hand-to-hand combat, just exchange!

The magic power surged around him and turned into a blue dragon scale armor again, covering his entire body. Then, he ignored any attacks and just punched and kicked out, smashing out.

clap clap clap!
Bang bang bang!

Boom boom boom boom!
This was a collision of flesh and a contest of strength. At the beginning, Chu Zhou was at a disadvantage, with wounds all over his body.

But halfway through, he relied on his high attack and thick blood to beat the tiger so hard that it became dizzy and blood splattered everywhere.

Finally, the beast could no longer hold on and actually flapped its wings, trying to fly high.

It turned out to be a winged tiger!

But just when it was about to escape, Chu Zhou grabbed its hind legs, slammed it to the ground, and then beat it up.

The winged tiger finally stopped making any sound and gradually became motionless!

When he looked up again, Chu Zhou's body and face were covered in blood, but his eyes were fierce and murderous.

He looked around, patted his chest, and let out a long roar!
This action does not look like that of a human, but rather like an animal declaring its territory, but the effect is extremely good.

Not far away, a giant python as thick as a bucket started moving, turned its head and swam away. As it moved, the skin all over its body changed, matching the surrounding scenery, making it extremely concealed.

Another 'cuckoo' sound was heard, accompanied by the sound of trees falling, and a toad that was more than ten meters tall actually crawled out.

Its body was covered with pustules, and when it came out, there was a colorful smoke floating around, like a poisonous miasma.

However, looking at Chu Zhou, it just made a "cooing" sound, turned around and left.

From another direction, a "crash" sound was heard, and a six-foot-tall silverback gorilla jumped out.

The most unique thing about it is that it has a single horn on its forehead, with lightning flashing on it.

It bared its teeth at Chu Zhou and stuck out its tongue for a long time, but when it saw that Chu Zhou was just staring at it coldly, it felt bored and jumped away again.

This is the rule among spirit beasts. If you are strong, you are right and can do whatever you want!

If Chu Zhou showed any sign of weakness, they would probably come up and eat him up, but seeing that his momentum was not diminished at all, they actually acknowledged his status as the king of this area.

Seeing the spirit beasts leaving, Chu Zhou finally sat down on the ground and began to breathe heavily.

Then, he tilted his head slightly, looked in one direction, and said, "Are you coming out by yourself? Or do you want me to invite you out?"

Then a rustling sound was heard in the jungle. It was an old scholar limping out from behind a tree with a cane, and he gave Chu Zhou a bitter smile.

"Master Chu, I am sorry to have embarrassed you!"

"Your leg?"

"It's a broken bone. I've taken medicine. I need to rest for a while, but it should heal."

"What about the others?"

"I guess they all dispersed when they entered the Heavenly Gate. I just hope they have better luck."

After a pause, he continued, "I regret not listening to what the Taoist said. This secret realm is really strange and dangerous!"

At this point, his voice became a little hoarse, and he said, "He's dead!"

"what?"

Chu Zhou opened his eyes and his voice became louder. The old scholar waved his hand and said, "I'll take you there!"

As he said that, he turned around and went deeper into the cave. Chu Zhou walked further up. The two of them walked through the woods and not long after, they arrived at the entrance of a cave.

It was also here that Chu Zhou saw the corpse of Di Ya, one of the twelve land immortals!

Tianlong and Dima are actually as their names suggest. The martial arts they practice need to match each other, so they are deaf and dumb themselves.

Perhaps because of their physical disabilities, they have a weak presence among the land gods and goddesses, and basically do not talk much. When they express their opinions, they just gesture in the air or write words.

But what was unexpected was that this land immortal died here. His shriveled body was already tattered and incomplete, and his head had eyes wide open, full of unwillingness!

Looking at the surrounding environment, Chu Zhou could smell the strong scent of the big beast.

Obviously, this unlucky person bumped into the beast's lair, and before he could recover, he was torn to pieces, leaving only his head and body.

A big shot who was so influential in the outside world just died like that!

Even Chu Zhou felt a little sad at this moment.

On the side, the old scholar said: "The environment in this secret realm is extremely strange, it is clearly full of spiritual energy, but it is difficult to drive.

It became very difficult for us to use the true meaning of martial arts. Caught off guard, our combat effectiveness was reduced by 70% to 80%, making it impossible for us to gain a foothold.

On the other hand, Taoist Priest Chu has a body like a King Kong, and he can act recklessly, which is really enviable."

Chu Zhou waved his hand: "Once you come here, you will be subject to restrictions. It is useless to say this now.

I just killed the winged tiger, and I think it will be safe here for a while, so I can take a break."

"Master, would you let me go with you?"

"I'm not saying anything magnanimous. We can talk about our grudges outside. Now, it's better to cooperate sincerely.

But, this mute corpse?"

"I'll clean it up!"

"Okay then. I'll go and drag the tiger's corpse back and cook it up. It will also help replenish my energy and blood."

After the discussion, everyone went about their own business. Compared to the old scholar's frail body, who had difficulty moving around in this secret realm, Chu Zhou was much more agile.

He dragged the body of the winged tiger here, built a bonfire, cut off one of the tiger's legs, and started to barbecue it.

It must be said that this kind of spiritual beast is really a tonic. After Chu Zhou swallowed it, he felt his blood boiling and his body seemed to be awakened.

With abundant Qi and blood circulating, cells were absorbing nutrients, the injuries in the body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Chu Zhou's spirits were quickly restored.

It is a great tonic, a true tonic, and most suitable for the practice of Xuanzhen Temple's secret martial arts!

The old scholar also ate some, but not much, because after just a few bites, he was too weak to be nourished and had a nosebleed.

Chu Zhou ignored him. After he felt that his injuries had healed a lot, he began to figure out and interpret his various methods to adapt to the environment here.

After midnight, when Chu Zhou was sure that the old scholar had fallen into a deep sleep out of exhaustion, he finally fell into a dream. His spirit leaped forth and he headed straight for the Reception Hall.

The strange environment of this secret realm needs to be clarified, and is there a better person than the Immortal Jie Yin?

If it is a natural phenomenon, there must be special courses to explain it, and he just needs to exchange it and learn it.

But if it is not a natural phenomenon, then this matter is worth talking about!
　I had some writer's block today, that's all!
