The land of the Spiritual Realm was like an endless wilderness shrouded in gray fog, with no end in sight.
Xia Pingan was in this wilderness, driving away the layers of fog as he ran.
Xia Pingan arrived at a place, and with a thought, the gray fog around him dispersed, revealing the appearance of the surrounding environment.
Xia Pingan wanted to try and see if he could fly, but unfortunately, as he thought about it, he only felt the wind circling around him, blowing away the gray mist. However, his body was still unable to fly, and he felt that he was still lacking a little, so he obediently ran on the ground.
And no matter how Xia Pingan ran, he could clearly feel the location of the Golden Arch and the Spiritual Realm God Temple, so he did not have to worry about getting lost.
After running for a while, Xia Pingan found that the originally flat ground in front of him had a huge bulge, forming a huge mound dozens of meters high. This made Xia Pingan very excited. After running to the top of the mound, Xia Pingan was shocked.
Because on top of the mound, he saw a pitch-black coffin and a collapsed giant tree.
The collapsed giant tree was like a desert poplar that had been air-dried for thousands of years. It had an ancient aura and was hard to the touch.
And the coffin was chiseled out of the trunk of the collapsed giant tree. It looked a little rough, and in the coffin, there was a human skeleton. The skeleton's clothes had already decayed to ashes, revealing the bones inside. Everything looked so strange.
Xia Pingan suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
Just now, he thought that only he and the Dream Demon could enter the Spiritual Realm. It was like a strange dreamland, and no one would die in the Spiritual Realm. But now, it seemed that this was not the case at all. The stars in the sky and the souls of the clusters of light might not die, and in his current state, he might also die.
There used to be people here, and people here could also die. He … if he was hurt here, it was also possible … that he would die and become the same as the skeleton in the coffin.
Like a basin of cold water poured over his head, Xia Pingan's restless heart calmed down. He only wanted to find the Dream Demon, but if he met the Dream Demon at this moment, and the Dream Demon discovered him, would he be killed here? Become the same as the skeleton …
This was hard to say.
Xia Pingan looked at the skeleton in the coffin and found that although the skeleton in the coffin was covered in a layer of ashes, the color of the skeleton under the ashes seemed to be somewhat abnormal. He gently reached out his hand and wiped the ashes on the skeleton's ribs, and immediately found that the skeleton's bones were actually golden. he gently knocked on them, and found that the bones were like metal. He did not know how many years they had been lying here, but they did not decay.
What kind of person's bones were actually golden? Was this a Golden Body?
Beside the golden skeleton, there was a long sword with a scabbard. The sword looked like a Tang Saber and was about three feet long.
Beside the long sword, there was a token.
Xia Pingan took out the long sword and the token, and gently pulled out the long sword. He found that the long sword was somewhat rusty, but it could still be used, and the blade was still sharp.
The token was like black iron, and there were two lines of Xiaozhuan characters engraved on it.
One line of Xiaozhuan characters was "Spirit Herder", and the other line of Xiaozhuan characters was "Xu Jiu".
"Spirit Herder" should be the identity of the owner of this golden skeleton, and "Xu Jiu" should be this person's name or code name.
This skeleton and the coffin were somewhat different. Xia Pingan carefully searched around the coffin, and suddenly, outside the coffin, at the position where the skeleton's head pointed, he saw some Xiaozhuan characters engraved on the coffin.
"… The Spirit Mountain has collapsed … The Demon God … has annihilated everything … The ruler of the Spirit Realm, the spiritual teacher of all the Spirit Shepherds … The Lord of Dreams … The Guardian of All Spirits … has fallen … The throne has been covered in dust … The Spirit Shepherds have kept their vows … They will guard all the spirits in the Spirit Realm that has turned into a wasteland … They will fight to the end … Xu Jiu …"
These characters brought Xia Pingan a huge amount of information.
This information at least explained two things. The Spirit World didn't seem to be like this before, but was guarded by God, and these Spirit Herders were the subordinates of that God.
It was the Demon God Sovereign who turned this world into this.
But, why did the spirits in the sky need the protection of these Spirit Herders?
Xia Pingan didn't understand.
No matter what, this showed that the exploration of the Spirit World was fruitful.
Xia Pingan put away Xu Jiu's command medallion and placed it in his bosom. He then took his sword and carefully left the mound.
With a thought, Xia Pingan didn't let the surrounding gray fog completely disperse. Instead, he let the gray fog wrap around his body, and he hid in the gray fog to continue his search.
This time, Xia Pingan was much more hidden. Once he was far away, it was almost impossible to find him.
The fog was hazy, as if there was a layer of gauze in between. Except for a slight reduction in visibility, it didn't have much of an effect.
After leaving the mound, Xia Pingan searched for a while and saw a tall building in front of him. It was blurry in the fog, standing in the wilderness like a castle.
Xia Pingan approached and found that it was really a tall castle. The castle looked like a rock that had been weathered for thousands of years. It had a vicissitude, and some parts of it had already collapsed.
A small part of the castle's entrance tower had collapsed, but at the entrance, two words could be faintly seen — Spirit Herding Castle.
Xia Pingan drew his long sword and carefully approached the castle from the entrance.
After entering the castle, he found that there was a long, dark passage inside. On both sides of the passage, there were stone statues that had experienced the vicissitudes of life holding weapons. Those stone statues were more than three meters tall, and were completely black. They looked mighty. Many of the stone statues were damaged, but some were still intact.
After walking for more than ten meters, Xia Pingan's hair stood on end. Without thinking, he rolled on the ground and threw himself forward. Then, a huge stone mace smashed down on top of his head.
"Boom …" A half-foot deep pit was smashed into the ground with a loud sound. Dust and dirt flew everywhere.
The stone statues on both sides of the passage began to move. Their bodies began to rotate, causing dust to fall from their bodies. As soon as this stone statue moved, the other stone statues began to move as well. Even the incomplete stone statues began to move. One by one, the stone statues turned their heads and looked at Xia Pingan with empty eyes.
The scene in front of him almost made Xia Pingan turn around and run away. But just as the stone statues surrounded him, Xia Pingan suddenly found that the "Xu Jiu" token in his pocket was a little hot. He quickly took it out.
The pitch-black token emitted a faint golden light.
As soon as the golden brilliance appeared, the stone statues that had begun to move suddenly stopped and began to return to their original positions.
This token was the pass to enter the abandoned castle. Xia Pingan understood.
Seeing that the stone statues were no longer moving, Xia Pingan directly hung the token on his waist and continued to carefully walk inside.
After passing through the passage full of stone statues, he arrived at a square inside the castle.
Seeing the square, Xia Pingan once again took a deep breath, because the square inside the castle was full of coffins. Hundreds of coffins were piled up in the castle.
He walked up to the coffins and looked inside. Inside the coffins were golden skeletons and pale golden skeletons. Their clothes had completely rotted away.
There were many rooms on the first floor of the castle. The layout was similar to that of a normal castle. In those rooms, the furniture and furnishings had completely decayed into dust. The whole castle was lifeless, like a haunted house. No, at least there were ghosts in a haunted house. There was nothing in this castle. There was no breath of life or life. It was as old as a stone.
There was nothing on the first floor of the castle. Xia Pingan followed the stairs of the castle to the second floor.
The second floor was similar to the first floor, but there was a huge room that was completely open. It was slightly different. Outside the room, there were three words — Spirit Husbandry Hall.
Xia Pingan entered the Spirit Husbandry Hall and found that it was abnormally spacious. There were no furnishings in the hall. In the middle of the hall, there were a few black stone tablets that were about the height of a person. They were covered in dust.
Xia Pingan came in front of the first stone tablet and gently swept the dust off it. At the top of the stone tablet, there were three words carved in Xiaozhuan — Dream Summoning Technique.
Seeing these three words, Xia Pingan was slightly surprised.
There were only these three words on the stone tablet, but under these three words, the stone tablet was empty. There were no other words. There was only a dent in the middle of the stone tablet. It was about the size of a human palm when its five fingers were spread open.
Blowing away the dust on the stone tablet next to it, there were also three words in Xiaozhuan — Dream Puppet Technique.
There were no words on this stone tablet, but there was a depression in the middle of the stone tablet.
Sweeping away the dust on the third stone tablet, there were a few more words in Xiaozhuan — Demon Slaying Sword.
On the fourth stone tablet, there were three words in Xiaozhuan — Spirit Seeking Technique.
On the fifth stone tablet, there were three words in Xiaozhuan — Dream Creation Technique.
These five stone tablets stood in the middle of the hall. There were no words on them, but there was a depression in the middle of each stone tablet.
Xia Pingan circled the stone tablets and looked at them for a while. After thinking for a while, he finally reached out and pressed his hand on the depression in the middle of the stone tablet that had the words — Dream Summoning Technique.
After a few seconds, the Xiaozhuan words on the black stone tablet lit up and turned golden. However, in the blink of an eye, the golden words dimmed again like a light bulb that had been extinguished.
However, a message appeared in Xia Pingan's mind: Integrating 18 Dream Master's Realm Pearls could open the door to the Spiritual Realm Temple. However, only after integrating 22 Dream Master's Realm Pearls could one learn the basic skills of a "Spirit Husbandry" in the Spirit Husbandry Castle.
