The Guanlei Mountains are vast and boundless, with many people and horses sent by the two families of the Left Star City and Yan Duan. However, if you want to find two people in this vast and endless forest, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Luo Xiu also thought the same way in his heart, which is why he chose to escape into the Guanlei Mountains.
At sunset, Luo Xiu and Lu Mengyao entered a valley.
The valley was filled with flowers and plants, but it was silent. In Luo Xiu's perception, apart from the vital breath of the plants, there was no other breath of life.
"Let's get out of here."
The eerie nature of this valley alerted Luo Xiu, and his first reaction was to pull down Mengyao and plan to leave.
But at this moment, a black mist suddenly rose at the entrance of the valley, and a cold and gloomy atmosphere spread, making Luo Xiu feel cold all over.
Lu Mengyao, who was beside him, couldn't help but tremble with her delicate body and her pretty face turned white.
"What's going on here... what's going on?" Lu Mengyao's eyes showed a hint of fear, stemming from her fear of the unknown.
Luo Xiu sensed a slight tremble from the Life and Death Bead. As soon as the cold and gloomy aura that was sweeping and spreading approached, it was instantly absorbed by the Life and Death Bead, and the bone piercing coldness on his body disappeared without a trace.
In a short moment, the entire valley was shrouded in black mist, with no entrance or exit visible, like a huge formation that trapped him and Lu Mengyao here.
The invasion of a cold and gloomy aura made Lu Mengyao's lips turn blue and her whole body cold. Even if she used her true qi, this cold aura could not counteract it and had no effect at all.
As Lu Mengyao was about to collapse to the ground, Luo Xiu quickly supported her and felt a cold and eerie aura filled her body. However, when the two of them came into contact, this cold and eerie aura was absorbed by the Life and Death Beads in Luo Xiu's body.
Lu Mengyao, who was almost unconscious, woke up and grabbed Luo Xiu with some fear. "Luo Xiu, what the hell is this place?"
A sudden incident occurred in the Xiaoyao Sect, and her father was seriously injured and died in the battle for leadership. The repeated experiences made her feel anxious and insecure.
The only thing she can rely on now is Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu hugged Landing Mengyao with his hand and let her lean against him, so that she wouldn't be invaded by the cold and gloomy aura.
"I think we must have accidentally entered the Ghost Valley," Luo Xiu said in a deep voice.
On the simplified map of the Guanlei Mountains he obtained, it was marked with Ghost Valley, which is a red area. The red area marked on the map also indicates a dangerous place.
"Ghost Valley?" Lu Mengyao's face became ugly.
The Guanlei Mountains are located between Yunlong County and Douhai County, and are also the most experienced place for martial artists from the two major counties.
There are two dangerous places in the Guanlei Mountains, and Guiyin Valley is one of them, which makes countless warriors in the two counties turn pale when talking about it.
The entire valley was shrouded in black mist, filled with a cold and deadly aura.
Based on the induction of the Life and Death Pearl, Luo Xiu looked into the depths of the valley.
"Follow me."
Luo Xiula landed on Mengyao's hand, and the two of them cautiously walked towards the direction of the life and death pearl induction.
Since he couldn't find an exit for the time being, Luo Xiu simply wanted to explore the essence of this Ghost Yin Valley. The death aura contained in these black mist was a deadly threat to other warriors, but it would not have any impact on Luo Xiu, who possessed the Life and Death Pearl.
Seeing Luo Xiu pulling herself into the depths of the Ghost Yin Valley, Lu Mengyao's delicate body couldn't help but shudder. However, she knew she couldn't find an exit, so she could only follow Luo Xiu closely, her body almost pressing against him.
"Jie Jie..."
In the depths of the valley, a eerie and eerie laughter suddenly emanated, as if it came from all directions. The nearby black mist also churned violently, and the cold and deadly aura became increasingly intense.
"What's sneaky?" Luo Xiu shouted angrily.
At this moment, the nearby rolling mist suddenly transformed into a huge skull, opening its mouth and unleashing a massive devouring force.
Ah.
Lu Mengyao let out a scream of surprise, partly because she was frightened by the huge black skull, and partly because the devouring power was very strong. Once swallowed by the skull, heaven knows what will happen.
Luo Xiu pulled out the Shadow Sword and inserted it into the ground, but the powerful devouring force continued to pull him. The Shadow Sword plowed a groove on the ground, still constantly approaching the black skull.
Continuing like this, being devoured by the skull is just a matter of time.
Subconsciously, the first diagram of the primordial law appeared in Luo Xiu's mind, and at this moment, the life and death wheels of the heavens in the sea of Dantian Qi also spun rapidly.
"The seal of life and death!"
Luo Xiu pinched his fingers, and the black and white intertwined power of life and death surged out, condensing the virtual shadow of the heavenly life and death wheels in his chest.
As Luo Xiu's palm pushed forward, only a palm sized phantom of the Heavenly Life and Death Wheel flew out, crashing towards the huge skeleton condensed in the black mist.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the huge black skull shattered with a loud bang, and a cold and deadly aura surged towards Luo Xiu, entering his body.
These breaths are all absorbed by the Life and Death Beads, and then spew out the power of the two extremes of life and death, flowing between the meridians of the body and the various limbs and bones.
Click
There seemed to be some kind of shackle breaking through his body, and Luo Xiu's momentum suddenly climbed, and his cultivation level suddenly broke through to the sixth level of the Qi Sea.
"I see."
Luo Xiu's eyes were full of radiance, and he found that the black mist surging in this valley contained the power of death. He could absorb and refine it for his own use with the Life and Death Beads, and improve his cultivation.
The effect of improving cultivation is even countless times better than swallowing the vitality of heaven and earth, otherwise his cultivation would not have broken through to the sixth level of Qi Sea so quickly.
"The power of life and death? It's clear that he's just a mere martial artist, but he's actually proficient in the power of life and death?" A exclamation came from deep in the valley.
"Pretend to be a god and play tricks!" Luo Xiu sneered at the corners of his mouth, and immediately led Landing Mengyao to continue walking towards the depths of the valley.
The power of death is terrifying to other warriors, but for him it is a supplement. The existence hidden in this Ghost Valley is precisely restrained by him, so Luo Xiu naturally doesn't have to worry about anything.
The life and death wheels of the heavens spun rapidly in the sea of Qi in the Dantian. Wherever Luo Xiu passed, the black mist continuously integrated into his body, causing his cultivation to quickly rise from the early stage of the sixth level of Qi Sea to the middle stage of the sixth level of Qi Sea, and continue to improve.
After a moment, Luo Xiu saw a cave deep in the valley, and the aura of death that permeated the entire valley was rooted in this cave.
Luo Xiu did not rush into this cave with one head, but sat cross legged on the ground, fully operating the wheel of life and death in the heavens.
The nine primordial laws of the Heavenly Life and Death Wheel actually contain the mysteries of martial arts techniques. Luo Xiu comprehended a hint of mystery from it and integrated it with Pure Yang Gong.
In fact, the practice of Pure Yang Gong should focus on cultivating Pure Yang True Qi. However, due to the Life and Death Beads, Luo Xiu modified the original operation route of Pure Yang Gong to cultivate the Ultimate True Qi of Life and Death.
So, in fact, the techniques practiced by Luo Xiu are no longer considered pure Yang techniques.
Once the cultivation technique was activated, the black mist in the entire valley crazily converged towards Luo Xiu, enveloping the whole person in the black mist.
Lu Mengyao was not sure what was going on, but realized that she had not been invaded by the cold and gloomy aura again. She knew that Luo Xiu must have thought of something, so she stood by Luo Xiu's side to protect him, carefully observing the movements around her.
In just a short moment, the black mist in the entire valley was absorbed even rarer by Luo Xiu.
Suddenly, a voice came into Luo Xiu's ear, "Stop, don't suck anymore."
Luo Xiu snorted coldly and ignored it. Soon, the black mist in the valley was completely absorbed by him, and most of it was swallowed up by the Life and Death Beads. Although only a small part was transformed into the true energy of life and death, it also elevated his cultivation to the seventh level of the Qi Sea in a short moment.
Regardless of the three or seven or twenty-one, Luo Xiu continued to operate the wheel of life and death in the heavens. A breath of death, more pure than black mist, escaped from the cave and was instantly absorbed by Luo Xiu.
"Young man, don't go too far. If you still want to leave here, I advise you to stop."
The voice emanating from the cave had a hint of threat, "This valley has been sealed off by my formation. Don't say you're just a Qi Sea warrior, even in the realm of the Martial King. If you don't have the expertise of a sixth level formation mage, you can't go out."
"Why should I believe your words? You would be so kind to let us go?" Luo Xiu sneered.
"Hmph, I, Su Jingyun, am a strong warrior and disdainful of deceiving you into being a small and powerful warrior." The voice in the cave snorted coldly.
"Wu Jun?" Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. In the realm division of martial arts cultivation, after Wu Wang, he became Wu Jun.
The vast land of Yunlong County lacks a powerful warrior, and a hegemonic force like Xiaoyao Gate is nothing more than the presence of King Wu.
The overall strength of Douhai County is stronger than that of Yunlong County, but as far as Luo Xiu knows, the most powerful seems to be only King Wu Qichong.
It is said that only the Eight Provinces of Tianwu Kingdom and Tianwu Kingdom can possess the strength of the Wujun level.
With such a powerful presence at this level, one can easily defeat powerful forces such as the Xiaoyao Sect and the Leiwu Sect.
As for the name Su Jingyun, Luo Xiu had never heard of it.
In the cave, Luo Xiu sensed a mass of soul aura hovering. It is said that after reaching the realm of refining gods through martial arts cultivation, the soul of the warrior will condense into a primordial god. He did not sense the breath of life, indicating that Su Jingyun should have lost his physical body and only the primordial god remained.
Luo Xiu had never heard of anyone who could survive with the help of the primordial spirit. Even the strong ones in the realm of Wu Jun, once their physical bodies were shattered, the primordial spirit would also dissipate. Generally, only with the help of special treasures can the primordial spirit, who has lost its physical support, survive.
The Su Jingyun hidden in the cave is undoubtedly in this situation.
Just as Luo Xiu was pondering, the majestic soul breath deep in the cave suddenly surged out.
"You can master the power of life and death just by reaching the realm of Qi Hai. You must have received a great opportunity, so I, Su Jingyun, can use your body to be reborn!"
Cold laughter echoed in Luo Xiu's mind, and a powerful soul surged into his body.
"Taking over?"
Luo Xiu's face changed. He had heard of strong warriors above the realm of refining gods. After their physical bodies were shattered, they could seize and devour the souls or elemental gods of other warriors before their elemental spirits were eliminated, thus occupying their bodies.
