Hong Ling stared at Lian Chengyue, wanting to find a clue from her body. He really did not think that the girl had already comprehended a consciousness at the perfection-stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi, and was even able to use it.
This was an extremely shocking matter. One must know that even Hong Ling had only completed the awakening of his divine intent after the creation of his body and soul with the two Divine Substance s, whereas Lian Chengyue had only succeeded in his awakening as a normal person.
”Ah Yue, how did you do it? You actually managed to awaken your consciousness at the Essence Refinement into Qi stage?” Hong Ling tried to ask, but he did not hold much hope. Something that even he could not understand, how could he hope for Lian Chengyue to tell him the answer?
”I don't know either. It was just a sharp pain in my brain. After being cured by you, a muddle-headed divine intent was born.” Lian Chengyue said with a serious face, as he held his forehead.
Looks like this girl was unable to hold on to hope, but he was not really interested in the matter of awakening his divine sense. In any case, he had awakened this thing a long time ago, so he naturally did not have much curiosity towards it. He turned around to look at Lian Chengyue who was currently staring at the nine gigantic pillars of clouds, and sighed.
”Ah Yue, since you want to come with me to take a look at that cloud pillar, then let's go. However, you have to listen to my arrangements. In this Secret Realm, danger was everywhere. If something were to happen to Lian Chengyue, he really didn't know what to do.
”Alright, I'll listen to you!” Lian Chengyue nodded his head, ”Then, can we set off now?”
Looking at her eager expression, Hong Ling felt a headache. Why was this guy so careless?
Sigh, Hong Ling shook his head, and directly jumped down the Demonic Beast's spine, flying forward. Lian Chengyue chuckled, and with a movement of his body, he followed along, walking shoulder-to-shoulder with him.
The two of them quickly discovered something strange. The Bone Beasts that were previously wandering around the secret realm had disappeared, causing Hong Ling to be alarmed, this kind of phenomenon was too abnormal. However, their strengths were currently low, so they could not investigate this matter.
”Hmm? There are a lot of people in front! ” The moment Hong Ling's consciousness spread out, he could sense that many people were gathering under the pillar of cloud they were heading towards.
Hong Ling could sense that most of these people were cultivators who were at the peak of the Essence Refinement into Qi just like him, but none of them were at the late stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi. It was obvious that cultivators at the late stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi would have difficulty surviving in this secret realm.
But thinking about it, it made sense that Hong Ling himself had met with level 2 bats in the tunnel, so it wouldn't be normal for those late stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivators to survive.
From Hong Ling's perception, these cultivators with great perfection in Essence Refinement into Qi were not enough to attract his attention. What truly shocked him was the three cultivators at the early stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit standing in front of the group.
The arrival of Hong Ling didn't cause the slightest of ripples. In this secret realm where there were two such cultivators who had reached the great perfection in their Essence Refinement into Qi, it was obvious that they wouldn't be able to successfully gain the attention of others. This way, the youngster would feel more at ease, as long as no one was paying attention to them, then there wouldn't be much of a crisis for him and Lian Chengyue.
”Shangguan Qinghong, take a look at this cloud pillar, just what is this thing, it has such power, killing all the bone beasts around this pillar!” One of them, who looked to be around twenty years old, said to Shangguan Qinghong.
Shangguan Qinghong furrowed her brow, he did not know what to say, but when he rushed over, those bone beasts had already been summoned by some unknown force, gathering by the cloud pillar and being killed by the unknown power, even their internal cores were minced and turned into the purest Spiritual Power, fusing back into the pillar.
Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue found a spot to stand, and looked at the bronze coffin inside the cloud pillar, their hearts swaying.
The two of them were one of the first to enter the secret realm. Now that they saw the bronze coffin containing the ghost soul inside the cloud pillar, they were naturally shocked. The two of them knew what was inside the bronze coffin, but the bronze coffin now looked more than a hundred times larger than when they first saw it.
It quietly floated within the cloud pillar, the ancient inscriptions on its body were flashing brightly, waves of buddhist chanting came from it, and from it, there were also the shrill cries of infants. All of this made everyone's hair stand on end; this strange bronze coffin was simply too huge, and the shock it brought was far from being as evil as it gave people.
Lian Chengyue pulled the young man's sleeves, feeling a little afraid, Hong Ling suppressed the fear in his heart and kept on comforting her. As more and more people gathered below the cloud pillar, the bronze coffin inside it started to change.
The bronze coffin plate was slowly sliding down, and a dark red colored mucus was slowly sliding down from it. The Demonic Beast bones that were originally scattered on the ground beside the pillar of clouds actually began to tremble slightly, and with a hualala sound, as the coffin board got bigger and bigger, all of the mucus in the bronze coffin fell onto the ground.
Roar ~ ~ Countless wild roars came from the ball of mucus. Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the mucus slowly flowed through the pile of bones. Then, the countless skeletons wrapped in mucus stood up once again.
The weird thing was, no one could feel any aura from these skeletons. However, danger had arrived just like that.
A shrill roar came from inside the bronze coffin. Everyone looked up and saw the Ghost Nascent Soul covered with patches on its body. As it roared, the bones on the ground turned back into bone beasts wrapped in viscous liquid.
Compared to how they initially looked like nothing more than bones and bones, these bone beasts were now more like real Demonic Beast.
The crowd immediately dispersed, everyone fighting their own way. Hong Ling brought Lian Chengyue, and under the bone beast's chase, he continuously retreated.
There seemed to be a limit to the range of these bone beasts. After they were taken away from the cloud pillar by the group, they would give up on the chase once a certain distance was passed and return to the cloud pillar to guard something.
The dispersing crowd quickly gathered back together, and the way they looked at the bone beasts was completely different. Since these bone beasts had a weakness of not being able to move too far away from the cloud pillar, then it would be easy to solve it.
