The road is vague

Chapter 250 Sweeping Through the Secret Realm (Part 2)

It wasn't until the Six Ding Six Jia Matrix puppets silently appeared behind him, their giant hands already within arm's reach, that Fan Gao suddenly became alert, his face filled with horror.

In a hurry.

He quickly used an invisible shield to block, but the matrix puppet's large hand was caught by the invisible shield with a bang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fan Gao shot forward quickly, creating distance between himself and the Six Ding Six Jia matrix puppets.

Such a colossal creature had silently crept up behind him, sending a chill down the spines of Fan Gao and everyone else who witnessed it.

The invisible shield in the Matrix Puppet's giant hand let out a mournful cry.

This shield-like magical artifact, which possesses the ability to conceal itself, quickly began to bend under the large hand of the Six Ding Six Jia Matrix Puppet, its spiritual power subtly damaged.

Upon seeing this, Fan Gao quickly formed a hand seal and pointed towards the invisible shield.

The invisible shield rapidly shrank, detached itself from the matrix puppet's large hand, and returned to Fan Gao's side, its spiritual light flickering.

However, before Fan Gao could react, he felt an unbearable heat in the sky above him. He looked up and saw scorching lava pouring down like a torrential downpour.

"what……"

A torrent of scorching heat rolled down.

Fan Gao and Lü Ping, who had already been under pressure from Chen Cheng and Fang Qiong, were immediately forced to leave the True Yang Secret Realm after their refuge talismans were triggered. Each of them left behind a wisp of True Yang Fire, which burned quietly on the ground.

After escaping the lava rain, Chen Cheng and Fang Qiong gritted their teeth and exchanged a furious glance.

They both saw fear in each other's eyes.

However, due to the spatial escape techniques mastered by the Six Ding Six Jia Matrix Puppet, the two did not choose to escape, otherwise they would have been defeated one by one.

"Attack him."

"kindness!"

The two figures nimbly weaved through the air, carefully guarding against sneak attacks from the Six Ding Six Jia Matrix puppets, while heading straight for Li Mo's main body.

Seeing this, Li Mo smiled coldly and calmly manipulated the shadow lines.

The Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix Puppet, which had just unleashed its fire spirit spell, took a step forward, opened its arms, and was surrounded by streaks of fire spirit light, making a gesture that indicated that this path was blocked.

that's it.

The two sides fought fiercely for about half an incense stick's time.

Having exhausted all their methods, Chen Cheng and Fang Qiong, two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, were forcefully eliminated from the secret realm by Li Mo's puppets controlled by the Shadow Line Secret Technique, leaving behind a ball of True Yang Fire the size of an egg for each of them.

The area around the crater suddenly became quiet.

After confirming that no one else was nearby, Li Mo calmly retrieved the matrix puppet, took out the True Yang Furnace, and collected the five balls of True Yang Fire from the ground into the furnace.

In particular, the largest ball of True Yang Fire was like an orange, far larger than the others.

These True Yang Fires, with their spiritual power contained, burn quietly and continuously.

But when Li Mo put all the True Yang Fire together, it quickly fused into one in the furnace, and was no longer in a quiet and restrained state as before. It gradually began to show a flickering and burning flame form, with a faint glimmer of inspiration.

Li Mo activated his spiritual eye and stared at the flames in the furnace.

In his mind's eye, he seemed to see a long history of change and transformation.

This place was originally a rare mixed mineral-rich area between mountains and sea.

Times change, and things change.

Over the course of history, magma from deep underground erupted here, forming small volcanoes and also spewing out rare mineral veins, creating a special environment capable of nurturing True Yang Fire.

This is a flame that can only be naturally generated inside high-density metal ores.

It reflects the profound principles and order of the five elements' mutual restraint and the smelting of hundreds of metals deep within the mountains and seas.

Ancient times.

Someone attained enlightenment here, and the Zhenyang Sect was born.

After the ancient war.

Countless ancient sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm vanished in a short time, and the True Yang Sect was one of them.

However, for some unknown reason, this volcanic mineral vein has separated from the Mountain and Sea Realm and become a fragment of its subordinate space, floating in the void turbulence.

It wasn't until after the Lingmu Sect was established here that a grandmaster of formations accidentally discovered this spatial fragment while setting up a protective formation for the mountain, and found some of the True Yang Sect's heritage within it.

The most important inheritance is the crafting technique of the Tongtian Lingbao Zhenyang Ding.

Unfortunately, we are now in the Dharma-ending Age.

Any magical treasures that can reach the heavens can no longer be reproduced in the world, otherwise they would surely be punished by the heavens.

As a family of weapon refiners, the Jiang family, after more than three hundred years of accumulation, decided to imitate the True Yang Cauldron as the Lingmu Sect declined.

If the Lingmu Sect could possess a replica of the Tongtian Lingbao, even if it could only unleash two or three tenths of the Tongtian Lingbao's power, it would be the ultimate deterrent in the current Shan Hai Realm.

The Jiang family's proposal received the full support of the Lingmu Sect's millennia-old heritage.

Unfortunately, they ultimately failed to replicate it.

Li Mo gazed quietly at the True Yang Fire, completely immersed in the order and principles of this True Yang Fire. He seemed to see a microcosm of the evolution of this True Yang Fire over thousands of years, gradually gestating in high-density metal ore, and for a moment he even had a slight epiphany.

About an hour later.

In a moment of realization, Li Mo broke free from his state of enlightenment.

He first showed surprise, then looked somewhat disappointed and regretful.

"It's a pity that there's still too little of this True Yang Fire."

He sighed and then involuntarily gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with uncertain emotions.

"If I could collect more True Yang Fire and comprehend the order of smelting hundreds of metals within it, I might be able to comprehend the Way of Metal to the point where I can create my own spells in one go. At that time, I could try to cultivate the Five Thunders Transformation into Dust Divine Power."

Thinking of this, he glanced at the True Yang Furnace in his hand again, then immediately mounted his sword and flew towards the next volcano.

……

Within the Zhenyang Secret Realm, there are a total of thirteen active volcanoes.

As the Lingmu Sect held a public selection for its true disciples, dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators fiercely competed for the two spots.

among them.

The Ye siblings are undoubtedly the focus of this competition.

Almost the instant they were teleported into the True Yang Secret Realm, the battle between the disciples of the Fair Way Society and the Ye siblings had already begun silently.

A crucial step was preventing the two from meeting.

As the late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples of the Justice Society searched extensively for the siblings, the disciples of the aristocratic families began to cover for them, but only provided assistance to the best of their ability.

The disciples of aristocratic families are by no means a monolithic group.

Everyone who comes to this secret realm wants to become a true disciple. Therefore, the vast majority of people's purpose is simply to use the brother and sister to attract the attention of the Justice Society, eliminate some powerful enemies through the two of them, and then fish in troubled waters.

Lingmu Sect only offered two spots for true disciples this time, and no one was willing to give them up easily.

Pang Long was quite lucky.

Not long after entering the True Yang Secret Realm, he unexpectedly encountered Ye Zhimei, who was searching for her brother.

Upon seeing that Ye Zhimei was all alone, he was momentarily stunned before being overjoyed.

"Fairy Ye, you only defeated me that day by using a combined attack technique! I am grateful for your mercy in sparing my life, and today I, Pang Long, will also forgive you once more while defeating you!"

Say it.

This burly man had a black dragon tattoo on his face, and his spiritual pressure, typical of the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, surged forth, making his aura exceptionally violent.

Holding the Black Dragon Sun-Covering Greatsword, his figure soared into the sky; he was actually one of the few body-refining masters in the Great Qian Kingdom.

He wielded the Black Dragon Sun-Covering Greatsword, which condensed astonishing spiritual power, with great force.

With a dragon's roar, the black blade light, like the shadow of an eclipse, swept towards Ye Zhimei with an undeniable domineering spiritual pressure.

When Ye Zhimei saw Pang Long, she was momentarily stunned.

A hint of helplessness flashed across her mischievous face as she knew that she and her brother had become the center of attention.

Those members of the Justice Society have secretly prepared countless ways to deal with me.

And those disciples from aristocratic families, there are only two spots for true disciples this time, they will definitely see the two as competitors, just waiting for the two to be exhausted after their battle with the disciples of the Justice Society before eliminating them as soon as possible.

Therefore, she did not choose to get entangled with Pang Long, but quickly fled to a distance, trying to find a way to reunite with her brother as soon as possible.

The two chased and fled, quickly flying away into the distance.

After a stick of incense.

Wen Sheng happened to spot the two people who were chasing each other.

"Hahahaha!"

He couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter and quickly approached.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Pang. It seems you're quite lucky to have been the first to find the Ye siblings. If we let them reunite, they will surely become a major threat to us. Why don't we join forces and drive this Fairy Ye out of the secret realm first?"

Pang Long did not respond, but continued his relentless pursuit.

Seeing this, Wen Sheng assumed that Pang Long had tacitly agreed to his suggestion and immediately surrounded him.

Left with no other choice, Ye Zhimei formed hand seals and unleashed a secret technique. Pure water elemental energy emerged, instantly transforming into two identical figures that fled in different directions.

"Little tricks."

After Wen Sheng used his spiritual eye technique to distinguish the real from the fake, he quickly chased after one of the bodies, only to see Pang Long chasing after the other, which surprised him slightly.

"She can use this to perform water escape techniques; I was almost tricked by her earlier."

As Pang Long explained, Wen Sheng suddenly realized that this woman was indeed cunning.

At this time.

Ye Zhimei, who was fleeing ahead, drew her bow and shot dozens of arrows at Wen Sheng behind her in one swift motion.

Wen Sheng summoned his magical brush, which rapidly expanded and spun in the air in front of him, forming a vortex that easily deflected all the arrows.

A flash of inspiration appeared in the air.

As the two opponents reunited and pursued, Ye Zhimei wanted to attract attention, preferably her brother's.

Along the way, people kept noticing what was happening and joined in.

Most of them were independent disciples, and their goal was simple: to eliminate Ye Zhimei first to prevent the brother and sister from joining forces.

The other group consists of members of powerful families. Although they offer Ye Zhimei some assistance, it is not out of genuine concern. They simply hope that the Ye siblings can eliminate the powerful enemies of the Justice Society as much as possible, so that they can ultimately outmaneuver their rivals.

that's it.

Seven figures swiftly floated and flew past in the air.

At the crater on the ground.

Following Chen Linglong, Fan Gao, Lü Ping, Chen Cheng, and Fang Qiong, Li Mo eliminated a sixth person, a mid-Foundation Establishment disciple from a minor aristocratic family, who had received another True Yang Flame.

Noticing the seven beams of light not far away, he looked up and happened to catch a glimpse of Ye Zhimei.

"what?"

Just as Li Mo was about to get up and join them, he saw one of the seven suddenly break away from the melee and ride a huge mechanical bird with wingspans of about two zhang, swooping down towards him.
