In the middle of this mountain range, there is a clear lake.

The lake was clear and deep, and the cold was abnormal, making it difficult for ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators to enter, but for Ling Xian, it was not too threatening.

At this moment, Ling Xian and the Xuan Ying Snake were constantly diving in the lake.

After coming out of the Nine Immortals Diagram, he did not return to the cave, but found the Xuanyin Snake and asked it to take him to that mysterious realm, so there was this scene at this moment.

The lake water was cold, Ling Xian was struggling to sneak in the water, and occasionally encountered some sneak attacks from low-level demon beasts, but fortunately, when the cultivation reached the sixth level of qi refining, not only could he open the valley, but he could also survive by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and in the water, he could also breathe freely like a fish, and he didn't have to worry about drowning and dying.

"Xuan Ying Snake, is the location of the treasure you said to be down here?" Ling Xian spewed mana around his body, forming a spell barrier that blocked the pressure from the lake.

"Yes, master, I'm sure it's down there. The Xuan Ming Snake nodded hurriedly, for fear that it would be slow to answer and be boiled into snake soup.

Ling Xian nodded, then stirred the water of the lake and quickly dived down.

In a short time, a snake and a person came to the deepest part of the lake.

I saw that not far ahead, there was a vortex similar to a black hole, surging with nine-colored divine light, permeated with yin and yang qi, and a trace of extremely strong repulsion filled the surroundings, isolating everything in the lake.

"Master, this is it. A hint of greed and fear flashed in the eyes of the Dark Snake.

"Is this it...... It's exactly the same as you say. Ling Xian looked at the whirlpool, a trace of heat rose in his heart, according to what Dan Xian said, it was permeated with nine-colored divine brilliance, and the two qi of yin and yang flowed, which was the characteristic of the realm within the realm, although there were four methods of crisis, it was also full of opportunities.

And at this moment, the great creation of heaven is close at hand, how can he not be excited?

"Master, then, I won't go in, you have to be careful. "The Dark Snake is terrified of this place, and although it is also curious about the treasures that may be contained here, it cares more about its own life than about treasures.

"I think you wish I had died in it, so that you can continue to be the king of the mountain, happy and free. Ling Xian glanced at it with a smile.

The Xuanyin Snake trembled, and said with a sad face: "Master, wronged, I am sincere and loyal to you, how can I wish you died?"

"Don't talk nonsense, get out of here. Ling Xian waved his hand impatiently, suddenly remembered Lin Qingyi, and added: "By the way, if that woman wants to leave, don't embarrass her, remember?"

"Remembered the host. The snake nodded hurriedly, then shook its tail and swam away without looking back.

"It's a lot quieter now. Ling Xian flicked his fingers, and a mana qi flew out, but as soon as he flew to the edge of the vortex, he was isolated by that powerful repulsive force and dissipated into the lake.

Seeing this, Ling Xian's brows couldn't help but furrow, feeling quite tricky.

"No wonder with the strength of the Xuan Yin Snake, it can't break in, this repulsive force is indeed terrifying. Ling Xian pondered for a moment, and then summoned all his mana, and a large hand that covered the sky and the sun emerged from behind his back, bringing up a huge wave in the sky and bombarding the vortex like a black hole.

"Boom!"

The lake boiled and splashed high in the sky.

The powerful power of covering the sky with one hand all hit the vortex, but the mysterious realm in the realm was as stable as Mount Tai, and it did not move at all.

"This ......" Ling Immortal was in trouble, and was about to exert his power to punish the world, when the firepower was in full swing, a majestic divine soul power poured out from his body, slowly condensed into the appearance of a heavy hammer, and then smashed down!

"Boom, boom!"

The incomparably powerful force was surging, instantly breaking through the repulsive force of the realm in the realm, and replacing it with a fierce suction, which sucked him into a mysterious space before Ling Xian was caught off guard.

The whole space was foggy, and it was impossible to distinguish between black and white night, southeast and northwest, and there was no sound around it, full of a dead silence.

"Be careful, this is the realm within a realm. Dan Xian's voice sounded in his heart, and it was he who paid a great price to forcibly break the rules of the secret realm and help Ling Xian break through the outer defenses of the realm middle realm, so his voice sounded a little weak.

Ling Xian's heart warmed, knowing that refining the firmament was for him to get this creation, so he would not hesitate to pay the price, and he would also help him break through the defense of the realm in the realm, and hurriedly said with concern: "Master, are you okay?" ”

"No problem. Lian Cangqiong chuckled lightly and admonished: "From now on, you have to be extra careful, everything in the realm is full of dangers, and because I broke the rules of the secret realm just now, the teacher is very weak now, and the next road can only go on your own." ”

"Master rest assured, the disciple will definitely be able to get the cultivation here and get out of the realm safely. Ling Xian nodded heavily, his words were sonorous, and his whole person exuded a style called self-confidence.

"Very good, then the master will go to sleep first, waiting for you to get out of the realm. Dan Xian said with a smile, and then there was no sound.

Only Ling Xian was left alone to walk back and forth in this mysterious realm, looking left and right, and after carefully observing for a long time, he didn't find anything.

Just as he was at a loss, a cold and ruthless voice suddenly sounded.

"Welcome to the realm within a realm, adventurer. ”

"Who?" Ling Xian was shocked, but then he realized that this voice he had heard once before, it was the voice of the spirit of the secret realm.

"Don't be afraid, since you are the first monk to enter the realm within the realm, I have decided to send you a creation. The voice of the spirit of the secret realm continued.

"What kind of creation?" Ling Xian suddenly became interested.

"Send you back, back to your original world. The voice of the spirit of the secret realm suddenly had a strange taste.

"Go back?" Ling Xian was stunned, he had worked so hard to come here, and he did not hesitate to challenge the rules of the secret realm, in order to let him get a great creation, but at this moment, the spirit of the secret realm said that he would send him back, which made Ling Xian couldn't help but be angry, and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"No, I never joke with people, if you think about it carefully, now the demon beasts of the entire secret realm are chasing and killing you, and if I send you back to the outside world, it is equivalent to saving your life, isn't this not a creation? What kind of creation can compare to life?"

Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned, although he felt that something was wrong, but he had to admit that what the spirit of the secret realm said was very reasonable, now the demon beasts in the secret realm had fallen into madness, vowing to kill him, and being able to get out of the secret realm in advance would avoid the danger, which was indeed a creation for him now.

"What will happen if I don't accept it?" Ling Xian said slowly, if he returned empty-handed like this, he was really a little unwilling.

"There is no such possibility, no life on my territory can disobey my will, I want you to go back, you must go back. ”

The voice of the spirit of the secret realm resounded in Ling Xian's heart, and a mysterious force enveloped his body, and then he felt a dizziness coming from the whirlwind of the world, as if time and space were changing, mysterious and weird.

The next second.

Ling Xian's figure appeared in the Thousand Mountains and Dense Forest.

The breeze blew through his hair and ruffled his thoughts.

"This ...... They actually sent me back, but I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Ling Xian frowned, stood in place and thought for a long time, but couldn't find any clue, so he had to shake his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "Forget it, since the person has returned, there is no point in continuing to think about it, although the expectation of the realm within the realm has come to naught, but it has also avoided a danger, and in general, he has not lost anything." ”

Thinking like this, Ling Xian's whole person became much more relaxed, looking at the leisurely white clouds in the sky, and slowly returned to his home.

Half a month later, the rest of the Ling family's children also returned safely from the secret realm, and Ling Xian followed the agreement to feast and drink with everyone in the Drunken Immortal Building, and finally returned happy.

That day, he was drunk.

The following days were very dull, and it could even be said to be unchanged, in addition to cultivating every day, Ling Xian came to the Thousand Mountains and Dense Forests to fight against all kinds of demon beasts and hone his combat experience and skills.

Spring goes to autumn, winter goes to the summer solstice, time is like a white horse passing by, and a year has passed quietly.

This year, Ling Xian's cultivation had been upgraded to the ninth layer of qi refining, and he was only one step away from the foundation building period, but he didn't want to break through, but wanted to break through to the legendary tenth layer of qi refining, and after laying an incomparably solid foundation, he would break through to the foundation building period.

And at this moment, something that shook Qingcheng happened.

The other two major families in Qingcheng joined forces and blew the horn of attack on the Ling family, but they couldn't catch off guard, and the Ling family could only be forced to defend and wait for the opportunity to move.

However, although the overall strength of the Ling family was not weak, under the joint efforts of the Fang family and the Qi family, they were still defeated and retreated, and after only one day, they were attacked by the people of the two major families to break through the great array of the Protector Clan.

What followed was a complete slaughter.

The Ling family was united in their fight to the death, but they were all killed by the coalition forces, and the corpses piled up into a hill, and the blood also gathered into a small river.

Ling Xian didn't die, he escaped by luck under the desperate cover of the patriarch of the previous generation, and all the people in the Ling family were killed in front of him, he was angry and hated, but he was full of sadness and helpless.

That day, he was furious.

He swore in his heart that he must improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and in the coming day, he would kill all the two major families of Fang Qi to comfort the souls of the Ling family in the sky.

Then, with the help of Lin Qingyi, Ling Xian left Qingcheng overnight and began a great escape of nine deaths.

In this way, he ate and drank, wandered away, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the two families, and came to a strong, rich and beautiful city - Cangyun City.

Here, Ling Xian was incognito, he first bought a piece of land, and then with his fairly good Dan Dao attainments, he opened a shop specializing in selling elixirs.

Because every elixir he refined, its medicinal effect was more than fifty percent, and the price was much lower than that on the market, so it was deeply loved by some casual cultivators.

As time passed, more and more scattered cultivators knew about this Dan Pavilion, and even some of the big names in Cangyun City had heard of it.

At this point, Ling Xian had made a name for himself in Cangyun City, and he could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

Just when Ling Xian thought that he could settle down and concentrate on cultivation, a catastrophe quietly came.
