The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 269: Refining the Cave Heaven Core

Chu Zhou stayed on the lonely mountain top for a total of five days.

During these five days, he attended classes in the Jieying Hall at night and learned knowledge from the class of "The Method of Practicing Somersault Cloud"; during the day, he directly took out the King of Smoke and Haze, and cast a series of forbidden spells to refine him.

Theoretically speaking, this 'Somersault Cloud' should also be classified as a type of weapon refinement. It is made from fog monsters and is refined into a special flying magic weapon.

But unlike conventional refining methods, this refining method does not require earth fire, auxiliary materials, or engraving patterns.

Instead, he used his hand gestures to cast spells, releasing a series of evil restrictions.

Until layer upon layer, continuously accumulating, if it can become 108, it means that the somersault cloud has been truly practiced, and one somersault can reach a distance of 180,000 miles.

Of course, that is not an easy task. No matter how few fog monsters there are, they still exist. But the only one famous for his "somersault cloud" in the world is the monkey-headed one!

As an expensive course worth three thousand merit points, the number of class hours given is as long as twenty.

Except for the part at the beginning which talks about how to control, refine and tame the fog monster, the rest of the chapter is all about the 108 prohibitions of the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Demon.

It was so complicated that it made Chu Zhou's scalp tingle. He spent five days and four classes to learn the formula of the third restriction of Disha.

Then, he didn't dare to learn anymore. When it became complicated to a certain extent, even if he was a Jindan master, his brain was not enough.

However, it is enough to use!

In five days, the simplest first-level Earthly Evil Restrictions had all been injected into the body of the Mist Monster, and then Chu Zhou tried to control it.

King Yanxia naturally showed extreme resistance. He could feel the weirdness of the man in front of him, and he could even feel the restrictions that were imposed on his body.

But he still tried to resist!

However, the facts proved that all resistance was in vain. To the Somersault Cloud, the spirituality of King Yanxia was actually the most useless thing.

If Chu Zhou really wanted to, he could just erase his spirituality, and the reaction would be a little dull, which would not affect the refining effect.

After figuring this out, King Yanxia immediately became obedient, and even behaved very obediently to Chu Zhou's orders.

Then, Chu Zhou stepped onto the rosy cloud, and under the command of the guiding cloud, he set off again like an immortal riding the wind!

It should be said that the five-day stop was absolutely worthwhile, not only because the Fog Monster was fast and steady.

Moreover, flying in the sky can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble!

In fact, looking down from the sky, Chu Zhou felt even more deeply, because the secret realm has never been a secret realm of the human and demon races.

All of them together are just a tiny part, and their range of activities is limited to that small area.

Most of the entire secret realm is made up of primeval forests like a forest of thousands of trees, with giant trees tens or hundreds of meters tall everywhere.

As for the ferocious beasts active in it, there are even more.

These unintelligent animals, under the stimulation of the high concentration of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, became more and more exaggerated in size. Chu Zhou even saw a monster as big as a mountain.

It was a ferocious beast the size of a turtle, with horns on its head, a long tail like a whip, and a mountain on its back.

It lay there coiled, without any sign of life, except for the strong wind that howled at the mountain pass all year round, which seemed to pass through the mountains and make a whimpering sound.

But in fact, that was the breath of the giant turtle!

When Chu Zhou passed by in the sky, he felt that something was a little unusual about this place.

This was because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth stirred up by the giant turtle's breathing was too violent. Even when he, a Jindan cultivator, was practicing, there was no such noise.

At that time, Chu Zhou thought there was some great treasure here, so he came down to investigate. Then, the startled giant turtle let out a long roar, which scared him.

The giant turtle chased him for thousands of miles, and wherever it passed, it left a mess of trampling people. Its power was terrifying!

After this encounter, Chu Zhou no longer dared to delay, nor did he dare to underestimate the spiritual beasts in this secret realm. He rode on the clouds and headed straight for his destination.

When flying in the sky, the only thing you have to watch out for is the various birds and beasts. But if you really can't avoid them, just hide in the sea of ​​clouds and you'll be fine.

However, carrying a person also consumes some energy.

Basically, he could maintain a constant speed of flight for five days, and then he would have to stop to rest for a night and replenish his magic power.

After repeating this process three times, Chu Zhou finally reached his destination.

That's a lake!

It is huge, vast and peaceful. Whenever the wind blows, ripples appear on the water, which is a refreshing sight.

There is a mountain in the lake. Its area is not very large, only about ten miles in radius, but it is high enough!
It is like a sharp sword, piercing the sky, the whole body is red, and no grass or trees grow. Even the clouds in the sky only reach halfway up the mountain.

Chu Zhou stood on the clouds, looked up, and felt shocked.

He took out the guiding cloud again, and saw the small cloud turned into an arrow, which slightly tilted up and pointed directly at the Sword Mountain.

Chu Zhou looked up, hesitated for a moment, and then urged the clouds to move forward quickly.

He quickly approached the Red Sword Mountain, then rose above the clouds and headed straight into the sea of ​​clouds.

But after flying for an entire hour, Chu Zhou was still getting closer and closer to the Sword Mountain and Sea of ​​Clouds. It seemed to be not far away, but he could not reach it no matter what.

Sensing something was wrong, Chu Zhou almost instinctively turned around and flew back to the original place on the cloud.

This time, it only took a cup of tea for him to return to the original place.

Looking back at the mountain, Chu Zhou's expression was wonderful. This method seemed to have infinitely stretched the space, so that it looked close, but the distance was actually far beyond imagination.

But if you say that it is just infinitely expanding the space and increasing the distance, then why is it so fast when it comes back?

After thinking for a moment, Chu Zhou shook his head helplessly. With his current limited knowledge of space, he really couldn't understand the immortal's methods.

But there is no doubt that this is the place he is looking for, which is also the center point of the secret realm and the core of this blessed land.

However, how to get in is a big problem!

Chu Zhou sat cross-legged, looking around on the clouds, his mind full of possible means.

But after thinking it over, he found that his poor means were simply unable to do anything about the overly grand Red Dragon Palace.

Therefore, there is only one method that can be used!
When this idea came up, Chu Zhou was very hesitant. After struggling for a long time, he jumped up again, stood on the cloud, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and began to try.

On the surface, he didn't do anything, but in fact, huge waves had already been set off in his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

The loud rumbling sound seemed to fill the entire world, so much so that the sun hanging high in the sky began to shake.

It was mild at first and not a big deal, but with the stimulation of magic power and soul, it became more and more intense.

After a full cup of tea, Chu Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, straightened his waist, and clasped his hands together. A big sun appeared in his hands. This big sun was not dazzling, and the light it emitted was not blazing, but it was there, like the supreme will descending, making all directions submit.

And looking through the light, it was clearly a token made of white jade with the words "Fairyland" written on it, which looked ancient and heavy.

This is Chu Zhou’s biggest trump card!

This is the order from heaven in the mouth of the fairy in the painting!
This time, it was no longer an illusion, but Chu Zhou really took him out from the sea of ​​consciousness and placed him in reality.

At this moment, Chu Zhou felt relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his sea of ​​consciousness after the jade token was taken out.

But at this moment, Chu Zhou also felt empty. Without the jade token, he lost the confidence to face the whole world.

Chu Zhou's conflicted mentality made his expression ferocious, but in the end, he took a long breath, suppressed all his emotions, and raised the jade token again to activate the cloud under him.

King Yanxia was already a crimson red at this time. For him, appearing in this form, although it was quite powerful, it was also very exhausting.

In an ordinary fight, he would never use this trick unless it was absolutely necessary.

But now, just the presence of the jade token made him feel like he was going to collapse. He wondered what on earth he had in mind that he had to get involved in this mess.

However, facing Chu Zhou's urging, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He used up all his magic power, maintained the most stable posture, and flew forward again.

This time, not to mention Chu Zhou, even he felt the obvious difference.

Wherever it passes, space surrenders and all magical powers become ineffective.

So, they easily passed through the twisted space, and followed the sword into the sea of ​​clouds.

For the fog monster, sinking into the sea of ​​clouds was like returning home, like a fish in water. As it flew up along the Sword Mountain, it didn't know how long it had been flying.

It seemed as if they had reached the end of Jian Mountain. The clouds and fog had cleared, and on an inverted mountain peak, a fairy palace shrouded in golden light appeared before people.

Everywhere you look, there are magnificent palaces, jade buildings, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and flying cranes.

What's more, the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth actually turned into mist and settled to the ground, so that the entire palace seemed to be surrounded by fairy clouds.

Of course, such a palace also needs immortal servants to maintain it.

Not to mention the Yellow Turban Warriors and the Fairy Sweeping Houses, there are also teams of Fairy Palace guards wearing silver armor and holding spears, patrolling everywhere!
At the main entrance of the palace, there are three huge characters shining brightly in the air, like a real dragon entrenched there. Upon closer inspection, it is clearly "Red Dragon Palace"!
The Nine Palaces of Secret Realm, the First Red Dragon, this is it!

Chu Zhou's arrival obviously disturbed many people. In the Immortal Palace, the sound of huge bells and loud rumbling sounds were heard, and teams of Immortal Palace guards came from the air, as if to resist the enemy.

But what Chu Zhou did was extremely simple. He just held up the jade token in his hand and urged the cloud to move forward.

The Red Dragon Palace's mountain protection formation is of course incomparable to that of the Spring and Autumn Palace, but it's useless, everything is useless!

Wherever the jade token passed, all formations stopped, the distorted space returned to normal, and the golden light even automatically deformed to form a circular arch, as if to welcome the return of its owner.

And under the fairy palace, the tightly closed door opened automatically without any control.

Chu Zhou descended from the clouds and stepped into the cloud. Wherever he passed, all the birds fell to the ground and the immortal servants bowed to him.

Even the spiritual plants and trees whimpered and lay down.

At this moment, Chu Zhou was like the controller of the Red Dragon Palace. He had nothing to worry about and no more obstacles.

The Red Dragon Palace is very large, and Chu Zhou actually doesn’t know where the core he is looking for is, but after entering the palace, he is not in a hurry.

Holding the token, he walked deeper into the place, passing through the palace, walking through the corridors, strolling in the sea of ​​flowers, and passing through the medicinal fields.

Until he found an orchard!
The orchard was very large, and obviously a lot of space was reserved, but there was only one old tree in it.

The old tree has tangled roots and spreading branches, and under the shade of green leaves, there are huge peaches.

Even if you are just close to it, you can smell the fragrance lingering around your nose. Just one sniff will make you feel refreshed and energetic.

That’s right, this is the Immortal Peach Plant, which was transplanted from the Peach Garden in Heaven.

If Chu Zhou had not studied the "Collection of Precautions for Refining the Secret Realm", he really would not have known that there were such immortal plants in the secret realm.

Although it is not necessary for all blessed places, but with this fairy peach tree, it can help stabilize the secret realm, regulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even communicate with Taixu Heaven.

However, transplanting the Immortal Peach Plant is not a simple task, and even after transplanting, it still has an extremely harsh growing environment.

One of the points is that the concentration of inspiration must be sufficient.

Therefore, even if it is transplanted, it must be in the center of the entire paradise, which plays the role of filtering and transferring spiritual energy.

It can be said that the operation and circulation of the entire cave's spiritual power must go through it.

And this place is the core of the cave.

Chu Zhou stopped under the tree for a moment, then began to circle around the peach tree. His speed was not fast, but his perception was definitely detailed enough.

Until he stopped at a stone pier not far away!

The stone pillar had a strange shape, with protrusions, depressions, and potholes, but the top part was relatively flat.

Chu Zhou could even imagine that countless years ago, there were immortals sitting around the stone pillar, discussing the mysteries of the Tao, practicing their magical powers, brewing wine and tasting tea, or playing chess...

But when Chu Zhou placed the jade token in his hand on the stone pillar, everything seemed to change and become real.

It was a layered array plate, with complex array patterns engraved in almost every corner and extending into the interior.

At the nodes, there are many strange-shaped spiritual spring eyes embedded in them.

That is the eye of the spiritual spring that was obtained through the circulation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after thousands of years of washing. It contains almost infinite spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if it is exhausted, it can be replenished.

The core of this cave is shaped by the Eye of the Spiritual Spring. The larger the blessed cave, the more it needs.

Of course, none of this matters!
The important thing is that, along the way, although it was full of hardships, there were also difficulties and obstacles, but Chu Zhou finally found what he was looking for.

Chu Zhou couldn't hide his excitement, but he still didn't act rashly. Instead, he took deep breaths to calm himself down.

Not until he felt that he had finally calmed down did he put his hands on the core of the cave, and with a little effort, he sat cross-legged on the core of the cave.

When he picked up the jade token again, it had disappeared from its original place, and in his sea of ​​consciousness, the sun in the sky appeared again.

For no reason, Chu Zhou felt much more at ease, but before he could think about it, an indescribably rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged into his body.

At this moment, Chu Zhou no longer had time to care about anything else. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, kept his mind clear, and began to refine the core of this cave.

　Time is tight, that’s all for today!
