Patriarch Nine returned soon after he left.
As soon as he saw Tie Lang, he took out an ancient secret manual and handed it over to him. He said in a low voice, ”This < Seven Ultimate Skill Seal > secret manual was obtained by me when I was a young man wandering around a secret location. As for the specific level of the battle skill, I am not sure. With your current strength, you should be able to practice and perform the first set of seal techniques. In return for your gift to the Flame Pearl, I'll give it to you today! In addition, this Soul Nurturing Pill was the fourth elder's kind intentions. It could be said to be an extremely rare treasure, and it had a miraculous effect on raising one's spiritual sense and nurturing one's soul. You keep it too! ”The Fourth Elder also asked me to pass a message: If you need any help in the future, feel free to say it. He, and of course, include me. He will definitely help with everything he can and will not refuse!”
”Good!” The two Elders were the first to accept this favor! ”But right now, I really have something I want to ask of the Ninth Elder. My senior brother Niu Li …”
”No problem!” If he wants, I can take him as an honorary disciple, but if he doesn't want to, I have no choice but to accept him as my honorary disciple. Of course there wouldn't be any problem staying in the sect! Rest assured. ” After pondering for a moment, the ninth elder said in a low voice, ”Tie Lang, do you know that Ying Xue is my direct disciple? I watched her grow up. She was a very good girl. ”I can see that she's interested in you …”
”…” Iron Wolf.
”...”
Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
Tie Lang and the other four followed the Eighth Elder and set off for the Black Mortal crevice.
The Black Forest was located about 200 miles northwest of Jincheng City. It was close to the Black Wood Stronghold, the largest gang in Jincheng City. It was about two days' journey away from the Nine Dragons Gate. It was a dangerous place in Jin City. Originally, there were only a few powerful demonic beasts roosting inside, so very few people dared to enter.
In the past twenty to thirty years, the Black Forest had undergone some unknown changes. Normally, it was completely filled with poisonous miasma, and anyone who accidentally entered it would undoubtedly die. In order to ensure the safety of one side, the City Lord's Mansion had stationed eight hundred elite guards around the clock at the only entrance to the Black Forest Creek. No one was allowed to enter.
Many demonic beasts and even spirit beasts had undergone changes outside the Black Forest. Once the poison spread outside the ravine, it would bring a great disaster to the citizens of Jincheng City.
There was, of course, a real element in that. The demonic beasts in the Black Forest had indeed undergone a change. No matter what demonic beast it was, they all turned pitch-black in color.
Of course, the truth was that the various sects were in control of the truth. There was actually an ancient formation restriction hidden in the Black Sen Crevice. Moreover, these formation restrictions were extremely dangerous. If one was not careful, even a Spirit Martial Disciple would perish here. However, once they passed through the barrier, they wouldn't be able to suppress any terrifying existences inside. Instead, they would be able to comprehend the great opportunities inside!
All the major powers were keeping this a secret, but even they didn't know when the array formation in the black stream would be passed down. Who set it up? Why is it here?
All this is a mystery to be solved...
Every five years, thick black fog would rise up from the Black Mortal Ravine, and completely cover it. The miasma in the Black Forest would disappear as well.
The black cloud itself was an extremely powerful restriction. Once it was activated, a High Rank Spiritual Martial Force Warrior or higher would be repelled by the formation and would be unable to enter. The higher the cultivation, the more repelled they would be from it.
This situation would continue for about half a month before gradually dispersing. It was at this time that the young disciples of the Jincheng City's five big sects and the Mayor's mansion participated in the adventure.
The group from the Nine Dragons Sect had arrived relatively early. The guard commander at the entrance of the Mulan Pass naturally recognized the Nine Dragons Gate's emblem, and after inspecting the special entrance token, he let them in.
The gathering place was a relatively open area in front of the Black Forest's entrance. Only the members of the Clear Wind Sect, the Tigerfang Gang, the Green Cloud Sect, the Black Wood Stronghold, and the City Lord's Mansion had yet to arrive.
The Eighth Elder and the leader of the Cool Breeze Sect were naturally quite familiar with each other. They greeted each other briefly and then went to their respective places to rest, waiting for the arrival of the other teams.
After all, they were all competitors, and the disciples of each team didn't look too good towards each other.
Tie Lang raised his eyes and looked at the black fog that completely shrouded the Black Forest. He could not find any clues. The black cloud was as thick as a liquid, continuously surging, but it did not spill out of the stream. The soul-shaking roars of demon beasts could be heard from time to time from the depths of the mountain stream. At the same time, Iron Wolf also acutely sensed a nameless, dangerous aura coming from the stream. This aura gave him a sense of unease, as if there was something in the Black Forest that was inextricably linked to him, causing his heart to race. He quickly sat down cross-legged at the side, calmed his aura, and took advantage of the last bit of time he had to cultivate the Profound Qi Refining Art.
During this period of time, although his Qi cultivation time was not long, but he had reached the peak of the level six Genuine Force. He was only a thread away from reaching the advanced stage of the Genuine Force.
This could be considered an unexpected surprise! When Iron Wolf cultivated the < Divine Alchemy Chapter > to open up his meridians, he was actually also able to rapidly increase the level of Qi Cultivating Stage! This was something that he had only discovered when he was trying to open up the meridians in his feet.
Before coming here, in Nine Dragons Sect, Tie Lang had seriously studied the cultivation paper left behind by the Ninth Elder, and had gained a lot. According to the written method, after unremitting efforts and experimentation, Tie Lang had mastered the preliminary skill of combining physical strength with zhenqi. This made his attack power double compared to before!
To Tie Lang, what he lacked the most right now was cultivation time. Not only did he need to cultivate his mental cultivation method, but he also needed to increase his current level of Qi cultivation, and he also needed to practice the body tempering secret technique, the 'Diamond Force Law'. In addition, he would also need to use the 'Meridian Forging God Scripture' to open up his meridians if he had a longer time to control it!
Every single practice was extremely important to Tie Lang, as it could enhance his combat ability! If he was given enough time, he was absolutely confident that he would be able to surpass all of the youths present here!
About half an hour later, the Tigerfang Gang's troops also arrived.
