Chapter 685 Profound Underworld Cave
Li Muran sighed lightly and said, "I don't understand what Junior Brother Mu said! If you are not a late-stage cultivator in the true body, you will never be able to shock the world. You will be less sure of dealing with the demon insect in the future."
"However, it is so difficult to advance to the late stage of the True Body! Even if there are some treasures to help you, your skills are quite good, but you don't have much confidence in hitting the bottleneck of the late stage of the True Body."
Mu Li nodded: "After parting with Senior Brother Zhao two hundred years ago, my junior brother was accepted as a personal disciple by his mentor, the former Northern Emperor. The junior brother obtained the inheritance of his mentor and broke through the bottleneck in less than twenty years and advanced to the early stage of the true body; and then before the immortal master was transformed, the junior brother was lucky enough to advance to the middle stage of the true body. The junior brother also had a personal experience. It was extremely difficult to advance to the late stage of the true body. Without some chance to defiance, I am afraid that there would be no hope for 10%!"
Speaking of this, Mu Li suddenly used the secret voice transmission technique and mysteriously transmitted: "However, among the Northern Emperors of all dynasties, there were many great monks in the late stage of the true body, and the proportion of advanced great monks was far higher than that of ordinary mid-stage monks in the middle stage of the true body. Can Senior Brother Zhao know the mystery?"
Li Muran was stunned when he heard this and shook his head.
Mu Li said: "This is a secret in the cultivation world of Beihan Kingdom. When his mentor told the junior brother this secret, he claimed that this matter was only passed down by word of mouth by word of mouth by word of the Northern Emperors of all dynasties. In other words, except for the junior brother, there is probably no other person in the world who knows this secret! Even the junior brother and the junior brother have not told her yet, because her cultivation is still shallow, the time is not yet ripe for her."
"In the eyes of my junior brother, Senior Brother Zhao is not an outsider! Senior Brother Zhao was highly appreciated by his mentor back then. If it weren't for the courtesy of Senior Brother Zhao, perhaps Senior Brother Zhao would be the Northern Emperor today! So, the junior brother is willing to share this secret with Senior Brother Zhao, because this secret involves the plan to advance to the later stage of the true body!"
"It's related to the later stage of the real body?" Li Muran felt a stern when he heard this and said, "Let me listen carefully!"
Mu Li continued: "In the depths of the vast ice sea, there is an extremely secret place called "Xuanming Cave" by his teacher. According to his teacher, the environment of Xuanming Cave is very special, with extremely pure and yang treasures, and there are also objects that are extremely yin and cold. The two are restrained from each other to achieve a delicate balance, so that the yin and yang are blended nearby, which is of great benefit to the monks nourishing their souls!"
"Can you nourish the soul?" Li Muran was both surprised and happy.
The most important point in the later stage of the True Body is whether the soul is strong enough. The so-called soul is the soul of the cultivator himself, and the essence of the three treasures of the spirit and spirit cultivated.
Although the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit can be gradually enhanced through cultivation, the essence of essence, energy and spirit that can be integrated into the soul is very limited. As for the soul of the monk himself, it is even more difficult to improve through external objects, so it is very difficult to strengthen the soul.
If you can practice in an environment that nourishes the soul, the soul will gradually become stronger and it will be very beneficial when it hits the bottleneck of the true body in the future.
"Not bad!" Mu Li said: "If you can practice in Xuanming Cave and hit the bottleneck of the later stage of the true body, you will have a 20% chance of getting to the bottleneck of the real body!"
"It's 20% more! This is a great improvement!" Li Muran was shocked: "If there is a magic pill in the cultivation world that can improve 20% of the chance to advance to the later stage of the true body, it will definitely cause robbery. I wonder how many monks will fight and even lose their lives!"
Even the famous Feather Pill can only increase the opportunity by more than 10%.
Mu Li said: "It is precisely this reason that the Northern Emperors of all dynasties dare not make this public. Looking at the world, our Beihan Kingdom is not the most powerful force. If the Xuanming Cave incident is leaked, it will definitely be taken away by other forces. By then, the monks of Beihan Kingdom will not be able to use this treasure land. Moreover, if various forces fight near Xuanming Cave, it is likely to destroy the special environment of Xuanming Cave and make this treasure land no longer exist! Throughout history, countless cultivation holy places have been destroyed in the hands of monks of all dynasties!"
"My junior brother told Senior Brother Zhao about the Xuanming Cave. First, he believed in Senior Brother Zhao's character. I believe that Senior Brother Zhao would not tell this matter, nor would he occupy this treasure land alone. Secondly, it was because Senior Brother Zhao was favored by his mentor back then, so he had the opportunity to become the Northern Emperor and was qualified to know about this. It was only because Senior Brother Zhao was courteous to the junior brother that he would let his junior brother ascend to the throne of the Northern Emperor today! The junior brother has received great favors, so how dare he occupy Xuanming Cave and let Senior Brother Zhao miss more opportunities! Therefore, the junior brother is willing to share this treasure land with Senior Brother Zhao."
"Thank you, Junior Brother Mu!" Li Muran said with gratitude and excitement: "If Xuanming Cave is as mysterious as the Northern Emperor said, it will be of great use to you! If it is convenient, I wish I could go to Xuanming Cave to find out now!"
Mu Li smiled slightly and said, "The location of the Xuanming Cave, my junior brother will tell Senior Brother Zhao. However, my junior brother still has some matters to deal with, so I will not accompany Senior Brother Zhao. In the future, after my junior brother is ready, I will go to Xuanming Cave to practice hard and impact the bottleneck of the late stage of the true body."
Mu Li told Li Muran the location of Xuanming Cave, and the two of them talked about how to mobilize the forces of all parties in the immortal cultivation world as much as possible and make every effort to do their best.
Three days later, accompanied by Mu Li, Li Muran went to the spiritual throne of his former Northern Emperor to pay homage to the emperor. After all, the Northern Emperor had a very beautiful eye for Li Muran back then and was very grateful, and he was quite grateful to him. As a junior, Li Muran should pay homage to his ancestors.
Afterwards, Li Muran said goodbye to Mu Li and flew towards the vast sea of ice.
A few days later, Li Muran flew to a certain place in the center of the ice sea. Looking around, there were countless icebergs of all sizes floating here. Sometimes some cold fish swimming in the sea water was no different from other places in the ice sea.
"Who would have thought that this area of rare and ordinary ice sea was hidden in the depths of the ordinary ice sea!" Li Muran murmured. If Mu Li had not told him the location of Xuanming Cave, he would have been afraid that he would not have found any clues after flying over here a hundred times.
Li Muran took out a big five-element escape talisman, put it on his chest, and stimulated it. A faint five-colored spiritual light immediately appeared on his body surface.
Under the cover of this five-colored spiritual light, Li Muran sank into the ice sea. Along the way, he walked through without any obstacles, whether it was icebergs, biting cold sea water, or reefs, and left no trace behind him.
Li Muran kept exploring the depths of the ice sea, and the surroundings gradually became dark and soon reached the dark bottom of the sea.
Li Muran floated quietly at the bottom of the sea, motionless, closing his eyes to sense the vital energy of heaven and earth around him.
In the bottom of this ice sea, most of the vital energy of heaven and earth are ice-attributed vital energy or water-attributed vital energy. Other vital energy is very weak. To sense subtle fluctuations of vital energy, it has high requirements for the cultivator's cultivation.
After a while, Li Muran seemed to sense something, suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself: "It turns out that there is a special fire attribute energy, although it is subtle, but not weak."
Li Muran slowly swam along the seabed along this subtle wisp of fire-attribute energy. Not long after, he stopped somewhere.
"That wisp of fire-attributed vital energy escaped from here. It seems that the location of Xuanming Cave is under the bottom of this sea!"
Li Muran then sank into the reefs at the bottom of the sea. After walking through the hard seabed reefs for more than ten miles, it suddenly became clear that there was indeed a cave under the reef.
Because of thick reef barriers, the sea water cannot immerse in the cave, but the cave is still bone-bone ice sea.
However, as Li Muran gradually penetrated into the stone cave, the temperature around him gradually increased. Not long after, Li Muran came to a stone hall.
This stone hall was built very simple and rough. It was obviously a temporary cave built with a little rest. The stone hall door was engraved with the ancient characters "Xuanming". I don't know whether it was the handwriting left by monks many years ago. Perhaps this is the origin of the name of Xuanming Cave.
There is only one stone platform, one stone bed, one stone cushion, and a pair of stone tables and chairs in the stone hall. The materials used are the ordinary reefs around.
In addition, there are two ancient wells about a meter square in the stone hall, one on the left and one on the right. They are very conspicuous in this simple hall.
Li Muran's eyes swept through the stone hall, and found no other special points. His eyes naturally fell on the two ancient wells.
Li Muran first went to the ancient well on the left to explore. He walked to the wellhead and looked downwards.
This ancient well was so deep that he could not see the bottom. He swept it with his divine thoughts and found that the well was a hundred feet deep; below it, there seemed to be some calm well water. However, when Li Muran's divine thoughts were penetrated into the well water and wanted to continue to investigate, the divine thoughts were gradually swallowed by the well water and disappeared completely!
Li Muran was prepared and took back most of his spiritual thoughts in time. The loss was not great, but his face changed slightly.
"It's really domineering!" Li Muran asked the demon soul: "The extremely cold and yin of the well water should be the most yin and cold thing in Xuanming Cave, but I can't see its origin below. I wonder if my predecessor can see the mystery?"
"Is that so? You can't even see the history? This is very strange!" The demon soul flew out of Li Muran's sleeve and turned into a phantom of an old demon cultivator.
The demon soul floated over the ancient well. After concentrating on the mind for a while, his face changed and he said, "Hey, the water in the ancient well is really extraordinary. The power of yin and cold contained is extremely amazing, and it is indeed very strange!"
"I was not ready to judge the origin of the ancient well water for a while. If I want to carefully investigate, I might fly into the well!"
The demon soul said, and flew under the wellhead.
"Senior, be careful!" Li Muran said, and flew into the ancient well with the demon soul.
