Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 180 Mirage, Differences

"no!"

Liu Sheng's feet created mist, and he transformed back into his original form. Without a second thought, he refused.

This Shadow Panther is too weak; it can't even defeat the Silver Horned Thunder Bull. Although a large amount of spiritual energy points can be used to deduce its upgrade...

But it's not worth it.

With the transformation function of his avatars now available, he has to consume 10,000 points of spiritual energy to bring each avatar into reality.

And this is only a demon!
Furthermore, inflicting injuries and reviving also requires a large amount of spiritual points, which is simply not enough.

Save as much as you can.

Moreover, we haven't even entered the main part of the ruins yet; there might be even better options in the courtyard.

I wonder what will happen to the little nun if she falls in there alone.

I hope she's safe and sound.

Liu Sheng put the corpse of the Shadow Black Panther into his storage bag, then cleaned up the scene, collecting a large amount of various cultivation manuals, pills, talismans, and armor.

He then walked around the farmhouse and made some discoveries.

The space surrounding the courtyard is about one or two acres in size, with a dense fog along the edge.

Once inside, no matter which direction you walk, you will eventually appear at the entrance of the courtyard.

It's similar to "being trapped in a maze," but much more sophisticated.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the cave.

Another person or monster has entered.

Not wanting to cause trouble, Liu Sheng hesitated for a moment before stepping over the gate.

In an instant, the world spun around, and a gentle, jade-like voice seemed to ring out, but it was indistinct...

After a while.

Several figures emerged from the cave and arrived in front of the courtyard.

They stared in disbelief at the charred corpses scattered on the ground.

One of them was clad in fish-scale armor, with chains wrapped around his arms and a long spear in his hand; he was a large and imposing figure.

It was none other than Qi Gang, the Demon-Slaying Captain.

He was a true disciple of the Five Elements Sect, and this time he managed to secure a spot by chance, thanks to a spiritual weapon.

Seeing the charred corpses scattered all over the ground, I tried hard to identify them, and by intuition, I vaguely recognized several of them as familiar faces!

They came from the Rakshasa Sect, Qingcheng Sword Sect, Seven Clouds Sect, White Lotus Army, and others, and were of similar strength to him.

Now, they lie on the ground, cold corpses, mutilated and unrecognizable.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, the murderer was a monster that could control lightning, and the hoof prints resembled those of a cow.

Silver Horned Thunder Ox?

He inexplicably thought of the bull demon he had encountered on the way here.

However, didn't that demon perish together with the three Qi Refiners of the Hehuan Sect?

Or is there another reason behind it?
His eyes flickered a few times before he turned to look at the small courtyard behind the wooden gate.

……

"Amitabha Buddha, Bodhisattva, please protect us, where are we?"

Jinglin, the little nun, looked at the towering trees and plants around her, her face tense and at a loss.

After being thrown through the wooden gate, she felt a sudden dizziness, and when her feet touched solid ground, she was shocked to find herself in a dense "woodland".

Although it's called "woodland," it's actually more like a grassland magnified many times over.

Occasionally, there are exotic flowers, colorful and frighteningly large.

Amidst the exotic plants and flowers, colorful mist drifts, creating a truly dreamlike scene.

There are also some insects that, despite being earthworms, locusts, crickets, or ladybugs, are as large as mountains and can leap out of the sky in a single bound.

Too scary!

This humble nun wants to go home!
I wonder where Master, Senior Sister, and Jingyi are now?
And then there's Senior Brother Liu, who stayed at the courtyard gate to fight the leopard demon. It's unknown whether he escaped with his life in the end...

Jinglin lowered her head and murmured "Amitabha," a look of worry appearing on her face.

How can we find them?

"Jinglin!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from behind.

The young nun trembled, her face lighting up with joy. Turning around, she saw her senior sister, Du Bingyan, standing a dozen steps away, looking at her with delight.

"Senior sister!"

The young nun Jinglin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward, rattling off a string of words about what she had just witnessed. "A leopard demon, a wolf demon? Beyond the gate, they become dust?"

A strange light flashed in Du Bingyan's eyes as she reached out and touched Jinglin's forehead:
"Such great supernatural powers can probably only be performed by bodhisattvas, celestial beings, and other beings of great ability."

This place is very likely the sacred site of a Bodhisattva.

"Yes, yes, yes, senior sister and I are thinking the same thing! I think so too!"

Jinglin nodded repeatedly, feeling that her senior sister's words had struck a chord with her, and yawned.
"By the way, Senior Sister, have you found Master yet?"

"Are you sleepy? Go to sleep."

A strange, seven-colored light shone in Du Bingyan's eyes as he stroked her head, his voice gradually becoming unpredictable.

In an instant, drowsiness overwhelmed me.

"Strange, why am I suddenly so... sleepy..."

The little nun yawned repeatedly, her face completely dazed.

A few breaths later, his head tilted to the side, and he lay on the ground, fast asleep.

call!
As the wind blew, Du Bingyan's figure vanished like a bubble.

Only a few eerie fireflies remained in the spot, with dragon heads and insect bodies, emitting seven-colored mist.

Nearly twenty figures lay sprawled among the nearby flowers and plants, some male, some female, some human, some demon.

They were all fast asleep, making the scene extremely frightening.

...

"Where is this?"

As the intense dizziness subsided, Liu Sheng immediately narrowed his eyes.

[Spiritual Points +14]

The light and shadow flickered before my eyes, and a new line of text appeared on the panel.

It was almost double the number when we were in the cave and in front of the courtyard.

Is it because the inspiration is more intense?

This should be... entering the courtyard.

He raised his head thoughtfully.

Looking around, there were brightly colored "flowers and plants" everywhere, and each one was huge, even bigger and taller than the ancient trees on Black Wind Mountain.

Amidst the flowers and plants, a seven-colored mist drifted, making the light even dimmer and more obscure.

He stomped his foot slightly, feeling a solid touch on the sole, leaving only a shallow mark.

How can it be? !
It should be noted that he possesses various physical attributes, especially the two great talents of "divine strength" and "great strength," which have allowed his power to exceed the limits of a true form martial artist.

He even used brute force to overpower Xiao Yan, who was a Qi cultivator.

When unleashed at full power, it can even easily smash down a small hill.

Even with the slightest exertion, the force released would be at least tens of thousands of shi (a unit of dry measure).

But it only left a footprint about an inch deep on the ground!
How can this be?

"Is my power being restricted, or... is the ground inside the ruins exceptionally solid?"

Liu Sheng seemed to be deep in thought. He looked up at the sky, which seemed no different from the outside world, and pointed his finger like a knife, slashing at the tall "grass and trees" beside him.

"Pfft~"

The sword-shaped "plants" snapped in two, falling to the ground at the roots, splashing green sap everywhere.

He frowned, tried again to the left and right, and after cutting several sword grasses in succession, he finally gave up and came to a conclusion.

This sword grass is as tough as refined iron, with sharp, serrated edges. Even outside the ruins, it would be considered an excellent material.

Moreover, the many talents bestowed upon him have not lost their effectiveness.

However, this space, or the area within this ruin, is much more solid than the area outside the ruin.

Is it because the spiritual energy is far stronger than the external environment?

Therefore, the earth's energy is more abundant and its veins are more stable, making the earth more solid and robust.

It has a higher upper limit for withstanding damage and is less likely to be damaged.

Outside the ruins, when demons and Qi cultivators fight, the battles are often so fierce that they cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

However, the extent of environmental damage they caused during their fights within these ruins was perhaps comparable to that of martial artists battling in the outside world.

"Disciple, what brings you in?"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out behind him.

Liu Sheng turned his head and saw his master, Wu Song, standing a dozen steps away, looking at him with disdain.
"Didn't I tell you not to get involved in the ruins?"
