Chapter 449: All Things Are Straw Dogs (31)
There is a more pressing issue.
"There is actually such a large demon-sealing formation here. Could it be that there are demons in this secret realm?"
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale.
Demons.
Although people of their age have no chance of contact, and the demons in the northern wilderness have always been firmly blocked outside the Three Realms, they are familiar with the demons' vicious reputation.
"How many demons are there that require such a large demon-sealing formation?"
"Now is not the time to worry about that. What should we do? If we don't find a way to get out of the secret realm, we will really die in it."
Fellow Daoist Xiang, who had just contacted his fellow disciples, said at the right time, "Everyone is going to meet at the exit. Let's see if we can work together to open the exit."
This was an attempt made out of no other choice. Otherwise, he could only wait to die in the secret realm, waiting to be drained, die, and be completely sacrificed to the Demon Sealing Array.
They will never accept that.
"Then we will go together." Bai Xiaoxiao said immediately, "Besides, the secret realm was suddenly closed ahead of schedule. The people from our sect who stayed outside to take care of it must have noticed the abnormality at the first time, and they will also ask for help and find a way to rescue us."
No one objected.
The Demon Sealing Formation extracted spiritual power from their bodies, and they continuously absorbed spiritual energy from the secret realm.
Although the replenishment speed is not as fast as the extraction speed, it can be sustained for a short period of time.
After that, the group hurried on their way.
On the way, they also encountered large groups of beasts.
If we had encountered so many ferocious spirit beasts before, everyone would probably have been so scared that their scalps would have tingled and they would have been ready to fight to the death.
But now all the spirit beasts were running for their lives and had no time to care about them.
So of course they did not go to the trouble of attacking these spirit beasts. They also had to be careful and pay attention to the road conditions in front and behind at all times, adjusting direction from time to time to avoid running head-on into a large-scale tide of beasts and being trampled into meat paste.
This makes it difficult to move forward and prolongs the journey and time.
Soon everyone realized, "Where are these spirit beasts escaping to? They seem to have a direction."
The beast tide did not seem to be fleeing without a purpose; their directions were indeed the same.
And that direction was quite different from the exit direction they were heading to.
The secret realm was very large, and after being chased, they had no time to observe more, so they didn’t know where many places were.
Si Cen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke in a weak voice, "It's Kunlun Immortal Mountain."
Although the cave where Si Cen was trapped seemed to be part of the mountain range at first glance, it was actually quite far away from the fairy mountain where he was brought.
It would be fine if I could fly with a sword or the wind, but the current situation is that my spiritual power does not allow it. There are also many flying spiritual birds in the sky above the secret realm, some of which are high-level and brutal and bloodthirsty, so it is not suitable to fly unless there is an emergency.
If they walk from here to the fairy mountain, it will take some time, even if they can use spiritual power to increase the speed of their legs.
Everyone didn't know much about Kunlun Mountain, so they all looked at Si Cen.
Jiang Huaizhen leaned over and looked at Si Cen's pale face as he leaned against Lin Feng's chest with heartache. "A Cen, are you okay? Hang in there a little longer. When we get out, I'll find the best elixir for you."
The external injuries on his abdomen were largely cured by the various pills that Jiang Huaizhen had just stuffed into his mouth. Perhaps because there were very high-grade pills mixed in them, even the wound was reduced in size a lot.
Otherwise, with the amount of bleeding from the time he was injured until now, Si Cen would have bled to death.
However, it is only to save his life temporarily.
He lost his golden elixir and internal organs and was seriously injured. If he didn't receive treatment with top-grade elixirs as soon as possible, he would lose his life.
The top-grade elixir that can almost bring the dead back to life is not something that can be easily found. Jiang Huaizhen does not have it on him, but he knows that his mother will definitely be able to find it.
Of course, even if top-grade elixirs were used to save A Cen's life, his golden elixir was gone, which meant that all his cultivation had been reset to zero. It would depend on the extent to which his internal organs could be healed before we could know if he could continue to practice.
However, among the monks who survived such injuries, it is extremely rare to be able to continue practicing.
And for the rare cultivators who can continue to practice, the difficulty of practice and the improvement of their cultivation are also extremely difficult.
It can be said that it is almost useless.
Jiang Huai really couldn't imagine how much suffering Si Cen, who was captured as a reserve blood bag, was extremely eager to become stronger under such harsh conditions in the secret room, and was even willing to please and fawn on people like Protector Xing who captured him and wanted to kill him just to learn cultivation from him, had endured in this secret realm for ten years, and actually reached the Golden Core stage in just ten years.
However, he lost everything overnight.
How can he bear this?
No one would be able to bear it.
Jiang Huai was really heartbroken, and his nose was sore for him. His eyes were wet and he was choking with tears. "Don't worry, you will be fine. Just practice...re-cultivate. You are so smart, you will soon catch up with your previous level."
Such words of comfort sounded unrealistic, so he did not have the confidence to say them.
But he was afraid that Si Cen would be unable to get over it.
Si Cen curled the corners of his mouth towards him, "I believe it."
Seeing that he looked pale but had a determined look in his eyes, Jiang Huai was relieved and even began to admire him.
The people nearby watched the interaction between the two silently, and couldn't help but feel the same way about Si Cen as Jiang Huaizhen.
If they were honestly thinking, if they were faced with the same situation, they would have collapsed.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Si Cen.
The road to cultivating the Tao is long and arduous. What is most needed is a firm determination and indomitable perseverance.
"Do you know what the Kunlun Immortal Mountain you mentioned just now is?"
Getting down to business, Si Cen did not seem to be hiding anything. "After I entered here three years ago, I explored around. Before I mistakenly entered a cave and got trapped, I once happened to go to a place where there was a small village. From the villagers, I learned that the mountain behind the foot of the mountain where the village is located is called Kunlun Mountain. There are immortals on the mountain, and they often travel to the northern snowfield to eliminate the demons."
Everyone was stunned.
"Are there humans in the secret realm?"
"Immortals... you mean cultivators, right? So there are really humans living in this secret realm and cultivators? However, the first group of Taoist friends who came in to explore three years ago did not spread any news about this."
Didn’t they meet?
"There are even demons in the secret realm, so it's not surprising that there are cultivators and humans. Besides, if there were no cultivators, how could this evil formation suddenly open now?"
But in fact, the existence of a secret realm is different from the real world. Generally speaking, no monk or human being would be willing to live in seclusion there, because of the lack of freedom. In fact, the secret realm is not always stable. You may not know when it will be permanently closed or when it will collapse.
