The two fled to the west for dozens of miles and found a crack in the rock.
The crack wasn't big enough. Wang Daoyuan wanted to use his earth-type spirit energy to erode the rock and expand the crack.
However, Zhou Xuan took the initiative to cut the rock with his folding fan like a knife cutting through tofu. Soon, they were more than ten feet underground, creating a space big enough for the two of them to rest.
The cut rock was put into the spirit beast bag.
The five-elemental spirit energy in the secret realm was very thin, almost non-existent. However, there was a lot of Yin Qi and Death Qi.
It was impossible to cultivate in such an environment, and the spirit energy in the body would constantly dissipate.
Coupled with the corrosion of Yin Qi and Death Qi, normal cultivators wouldn't last more than a few days in such an environment.
Wang Daoyuan didn't care about this. He couldn't refine the Death Qi, but he could use the life force in his wood-type spirit energy to offset it.
Yin Qi could be integrated into his water-type spirit energy. His water-type spirit energy already contained pure Yin Qi, so it didn't matter if he had more or less.
As for the lack of five-elemental spirit energy, that was even less of a concern.
In a situation where he didn't need to fight, the spirit energy in a jar of hundred-year-old Spiritual Peach Dew could last him for a few months.
He didn't need to worry about Zhou Xuan at all. He used a secret technique to enter a state of suspended animation. In half a cup of tea's time, his heart would only beat two or three times, and he would only breathe once.
He used this method to reduce the consumption of spirit energy and the corrosion of the Death Qi and Yin Qi.
Wang Daoyuan was more casual. He drank the Spiritual Peach Dew and ate jerky every day.
The two stayed in the secret realm for two months. Wang Daoyuan went out to scout many times and found that there was an inferior third-grade corpse guarding the exit.
After two months of suspended animation, Zhou Xuan couldn't withstand the corrosion of the Yin Qi and Death Qi and woke up.
Seeing Wang Daoyuan eating and drinking, he was almost angered to death. He said angrily, "You didn't tell me you had food to eat, and made me suffer for two months."
Wang Daoyuan smiled. "You didn't ask me either, right?"
He extracted all the Yin Qi in his body and used the Rejuvenation Technique to eliminate the Death Qi in his body. He smiled and said, "The Yin Qi and Death Qi in your body are gone. You can continue sleeping. You can last for another two months."
No matter what, Zhou Xuan was unwilling to enter the state of suspended animation again. He insisted on eating and drinking with Wang Daoyuan.
The two ate jerky and drank wine together. After a few days, Zhou Xuan asked, "Do you have enough food? We don't need to eat so much in one day. "
Wang Daoyuan lifted his Daoist robe and showed him the dozens of spirit beast pouches and storage pouches hanging inside. He said, "This is nothing. The dried meat and spirit wine I have stored are enough to last us for a few years.
Let's stay in this secret realm for a year and a half. The person controlling the refined corpses will definitely let down his guard. When that time comes, we'll rush out.
Once we're outside, we won't have to worry about the refined corpses chasing after us. "
Wang Daoyuan usually carried dozens of storage pouches with him to protect the space in his Spiritual Orb. If he was suspected, he would have an excuse.
The two of them stayed in the crevice for seven to eight months. Wang Daoyuan went out to gather information and found that there were no Rank Three Refined Corpses guarding the entrance of the secret realm.
After Wang Daoyuan returned to the crevice, he asked Zhou Xuan, "Brother Zhou, are you confident in killing a Rank Three Lower Refined Corpse?
Now that there are no refined corpses guarding the entrance of the secret realm, I'm worried that the opponent will set up an ambush.
When we go out, if a refined corpse jumps out to block our way, we'll have to deal with it quickly.
Most of my methods are used against living humans and monsters. Against a Rank Three Refined Corpse, even if I use all my methods, I'll only be able to injure it. I won't even be able to heavily injure it. "
He did not mean to hide his abilities. Even if he used all his methods, it would still be difficult to take down a Rank Three Lower Refined Corpse.
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "I do have some methods to kill Rank Three Refined Corpses, but I won't use them unless my life is in danger.
Once I use these methods, an elder will quickly come and take me back. In the future, it will be difficult for me to regain my freedom.
If I really have no other choice, I won't be stingy. "
Wang Daoyuan nodded and did not say anything else.
After waiting for half a month, the two of them left the crevice and prepared to rush out of the secret realm.
Just like when they were escaping, they wore the Spirit Restricting Silk Cloak and wrapped it with a layer of water spiritual energy.
The crevice they were hiding in was a little far from the entrance of the secret realm. After walking for an hour, they finally arrived near the entrance.
There were no refined corpses around, and the two of them did not dare to use their divine senses to probe. They walked straight to the entrance of the secret realm.
Zhou Xuan took out his Peach Wood Sword and was about to hang a spiritual talisman on it.
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said, "If the opponent really wants to ambush us, a Rank Three Lower Talisman won't be able to do anything. Just watch me."
Finishing his words, he took out a jade box from the Spiritual Pearl's space and unlocked the seal on it.
Inside the jade box was a blue bead that contained violent water attribute spiritual energy.
Zhou Xuan asked, "Is this the Gui Water Lightning Pearl?"
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said, "Yes, it is indeed the Gui Water Lightning Pearl. Unfortunately, the Gui Water Divine Lightning sealed inside is only Level Three.
It can injure a Rank Three Refined Corpse, but it can't seriously injure it.
However, it's enough to scare people. "
This Gui Water Lightning Pearl was given to him by his grandfather during the small beast tide. He had never used it.
Now, the Earth Divine Lightning he casually used was more powerful than this Gui Water Lightning Pearl.
Under normal circumstances, he would not need to use it.
However, they were at the entrance of the secret realm. The light screen in front of them separated the secret realm and the outside world into two spaces. Divine senses could not penetrate it at all.
Even if he cast a spell, after the spell passed through the light screen, it would only turn into a ball of ordinary spiritual energy.
He took out another jade box and unlocked the seal on it. He took out the Gui Water Lightning Pearl and placed it on his waist.
He placed a Gui Water Lightning Pearl on the tip of his Peach Wood Sword, held the sword hilt, and extended the sword tip out of the door.
Then, a stream of spiritual energy was transmitted through the Peach Wood Sword. The light screen of the door shook.
The two of them stuck a dozen defensive talismans on their bodies and passed through the door as fast as they could.
After passing through the door, they saw over twenty Refined Corpses standing in the underground cave outside the secret realm. There were even a few lying on the ground.
Among them, there were five Rank Three Lower Grade Refined Corpses. The rest were all Rank Two Upper Grade Refined Corpses.
These Rank Two Upper Grade Refined Corpses were familiar faces. They were the people who came with them. However, the Ji brothers were not among them.
After exiting the door, Wang Daoyuan immediately used the Smoke Escape to avoid the attacks of the Refined Corpses. He then summoned the Flying Kite.
The Rank Three Lower Grade Refined Corpses reacted very quickly. In the process of using the escape technique, Wang Daoyuan's body was attacked several times. The dozen defensive talismans were all destroyed.
Just as Wang Daoyuan stepped onto the Flying Kite, Zhou Xuan stood behind him. The defensive talismans on his body were intact. The Archaic Arcanum Sect's escape technique was truly ridiculous.
The Refined Corpses would not watch the two pieces of meat in front of them escape. They once again pounced on the Flying Kite.
As a flying magic tool, the Flying Kite was much faster than a flying sword. However, it could not be compared to the speed of the Rank Three Refined Corpses. Five Rank Three Refined Corpses immediately rushed towards them.
Wang Daoyuan took out the Gui Water Lightning Bead from his waist and threw it at the Refined Corpses.
The Rank Three Refined Corpses did not dodge. Instead, they pounced towards the two of them.
The Gui Water Lightning Bead only caused some superficial wounds to the Rank Three Refined Corpses. The two of them could not escape.
A jade coin with a square hole appeared in Zhou Xuan's hand. The jade coin was less than an inch in diameter, but the spiritual energy on it was extremely intense.
The five Rank Three Refined Corpses had already jumped into the air. They were only two to three feet away from the Flying Kite.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan threw out the jade coin in his hand.
After the jade coin left his hand, a 300-meter-long white jade-colored dragon phantom appeared out of thin air.
The jade dragon swung its tail and slapped the five Rank Three Refined Corpses to the ground.
Wang Daoyuan quickly controlled the Flying Kite to fly out of the underground cave.
Five breaths later, the jade coin flew out of the cave and landed in Zhou Xuan's hand.
