After Beitang Yue and the rest ran for a few dozen miles, they felt that the surrounding temperature was dropping rapidly. Ice and snow gradually appeared in their line of sight, and the countless beasts that were chasing them no longer chased them. They seemed to be roaring as they retreated. an
They rushed out of the forest and entered the snowy forest. After running for a few dozen miles, they finally stopped on a snowy slope.
"What's going on? Why is there such a place here, and we didn't even know about it beforehand?" The blade-carrying middle-aged man said with lingering fear.
"I think that there should be a spiritual vein under the ground there." Beitang Yue said.
"Spiritual vein?" Everyone was shocked as they looked at Beitang Yue in disbelief. But thinking about it, it made sense. In the northern part of the Northern Wei Empire that was covered in snow, there was a forest that could only be found in a warm climate.
Thinking about this, the eyes of Dongfang First and the rest lit up. Spiritual veins! Places with spiritual veins were all spiritual lands with abundant spiritual energy.
Cultivating in such a place would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort. Everyone knew what a spiritual land meant to an entire clan or sect.
One had to know that spiritual lands with spiritual veins in the Teng Long Continent had long been occupied by the major powers. Some of the highest grade spiritual lands even had caves opened up in them.
Spiritual lands or caves were the foundation of a sect, a family, or a power. Only with a foundation could one develop. Furthermore, cultivating in a spiritual land or cave with abundant spiritual energy was definitely faster than cultivating in other places.
As a result, the sects and forces with spiritual lands or grotto-heavens had an absolute advantage over those without. Cultivators who came from spiritual lands or grotto-heavens were often stronger than their peers.
"Let's go back and think about it!" Dongfang First looked at the other three and said. Although his tone was calm, it was difficult to conceal the excitement in his heart.
There was no power that would not be tempted by a newly discovered spiritual land.
"Alright!" Beitang Yue and the rest nodded their heads and quickly disappeared into the snowy forest. At this time, what they needed to do was to send this news back to their families.
The situation had already developed beyond their control, but there was no doubt that the Dongfang and Beitang families, as well as the forces behind the blade-carrying middle-aged man, would all send their true experts here.
With the appearance of the Spiritual Land and Chu Ge slaughtering his way out of the Far North Demonic Domain, it was destined that the Northern Wei Kingdom would no longer be peaceful.
The truly powerful experts would gather in the Northern Reaches, and the competition between them would be incomparably intense.
However, everything that was about to happen seemed to have nothing to do with Gu Fei for the time being. Gu Fei, who had fallen into a coma, was in a daze. Sometimes, he felt that he was riding on the clouds and roaming in front of the Nine Heavens Palace. Sometimes, he felt that he had fallen into an abyss. He was surrounded by ghosts and ghosts, as if there were countless devils and ghosts wandering around him, as if they wanted to swarm him and tear him to pieces.
After an unknown period of time, Gu Fei felt that his consciousness seemed to have returned. There seemed to be a mysterious force that pulled his wandering divine sense back.
He slowly opened his eyes and felt a piercing pain in his eyes. He hurriedly closed his eyes. He knew that this was because he had not seen light for a long time, and his eyes were stimulated by the light.
After his eyes adapted for a while, Gu Fei could see a blurry scene in front of him. A slender figure appeared in his eyes.
"You're finally awake. It seems that my method was effective." A crisp voice sounded in Gu Fei's ears. It was like the song of a lark, pleasing to the ears.
Gu Fei could hear the joy in the girl's voice. He finally saw the person in front of him clearly. It was a beautiful girl dressed in purple. Her features were exquisite to the extreme. She didn't seem to be very old, not even 20 years old.
However, in the eyes of cultivators, being young or old meant nothing. Only having great strength was the most practical.
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Gu Fei's voice was hoarse. It was as if he was walking in the desert and was extremely thirsty.
"Hehe, my name is Yan'er. This is the Secret Realm of the Dan Ding." When the girl saw that Gu Fei had regained consciousness, she seemed to be very happy. It was as if she had done something very interesting.
"Secret Realm of the Dan Ding? Where is this place? I've never heard of it! " Gu Fei quickly searched his mind. However, he couldn't remember such a place in the Teng Long Continent.
"Hehe! I already said it's a Secret Realm. If everyone knew about it, it wouldn't be a Secret Realm. "The girl dressed in purple, Yan'er, said as she sat on a chair at the side.
When Gu Fei saw the chair she was sitting on, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes. This was because he felt that the chair that the girl dressed in purple, Yan'er was sitting on, was actually carved out of the highest grade purple jade.
The entire purple jade chair was flowing with a faint layer of purple light. It seemed to contain an endless amount of spiritual energy. It was very extraordinary.
Gu Fei looked around again. He felt that the place he was in seemed to be a cave that was built out of jade. As far as his eyes could see, there were all kinds of jade that were flowing with a crystal clear light.
The space wasn't big. It was only five or six feet in circumference. However, the walls seemed to be built out of a whole piece of white jade. Moreover, there were no cracks on the white jade walls. It was so smooth that one could see one's reflection.
The jade chair, the jade table, and the bookshelf by the wall were all made out of the highest grade jade. Only in the middle of the room, there was a huge bronze cauldron that was more than ten feet tall.
In the entire room, it seemed that the bronze cauldron, which was still emitting traces of green smoke, was the only thing that wasn't made out of jade.
Gu Fei couldn't help but exclaim at the generosity of the owner of this place. The highest grade jade usually contained spiritual energy. This was common knowledge in the world of cultivation.
Jade that contained spiritual energy was very rare. However, the room in front of him seemed to be built entirely out of jade that contained spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in the entire room was very abundant. Sometimes, one could even use the naked eye to catch traces of spiritual light that were emitted from the spiritual energy.
"Now it's my turn to ask you. Who are you? Why are those guys chasing after you?" The clear and melodious voice of the purple-clothed girl, Yan'er, rang in Gu Fei's ears, causing him to come back to his senses.
"My name is Gu Fei. It's a long story. I have a grudge against those people." Gu Fei said. In front of this innocent girl, he didn't want to lie.
"Then I'll call you Old Gu!" Yan'er smiled.
Gu Fei only felt that his eyes lit up. This purple-clothed girl named Yan'er was like a little fairy that didn't eat the food of the mortal world. When she smiled, it was like a hundred flowers blooming at the same time. It was breathtaking.
At least, that was what Gu Fei thought. However, he didn't have the slightest bit of blasphemy in his heart.
"Old Gu?" Gu Fei smiled bitterly and asked: "Am I very old?"
"Hehe, you're not old. In fact, you're very old. Do you want to see what you look like now?" The purple-clothed girl's face revealed a sly smile.
"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Gu Fei couldn't help but be shocked. He only now realized that he didn't seem to notice anything strange about his body after he woke up.
At this time, when the purple-clothed girl, Yan'er, said this, his whole body became cold. He felt that he couldn't see inside his body. His Divine Sense seemed to be completely imprisoned by some kind of power.
"This … What's going on?" He hurriedly looked at his body, and when his gaze landed on his arm, he was shocked. The skin on his arm was shriveled like the skin of an orange that had lost all of its moisture. It was wrinkled and shriveled.
Not only his arms, but even his body was in the same condition. He was like an old man who was about to die. His body seemed to have aged to the extreme.
At this time, the purple-clothed girl, Yan'er, handed over a bronze mirror.
"How … How … How could this be?!" When Gu Fei saw his reflection in the mirror, his heart was shocked to the extreme. He was so excited that he almost fainted again.
Gu Fei couldn't believe it. His reflection in the mirror was actually a white-haired old man. The wrinkles on his face were like ravines, filled with the traces of time.
It was as if hundreds of years of his lifespan had been taken away and he had become a skinny old man. No wonder the purple-clothed girl called him Old Gu.
It turned out that he was really old, the kind that couldn't be any older.
"Why is this happening?!" Gu Fei excitedly asked Yan'er. This girl in front of him definitely knew what had happened to his body. He wanted to know the reason.
Only by knowing the reason could he solve the problem.
Yan'er said: "There are countless evil spirits rushing into your body. If I didn't use the eighteen Soul Suppressing Nails to suppress the evil spirits in your body, your blood would have been devoured by the evil spirits in your body. Your blood would have dried up and you would have died."
"That arrow!" Gu Fei recalled that he had been struck by the arrow shot by the man with the ghost bow. "What a vicious fellow. You and I cannot exist under the same sky."
Gu Fei had never wanted to take revenge on a single person, or a group of people. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to kill his way to the Dongfang and Beitang families and completely erase these two cultivation worlds from this world.
The people of the Dongfang and Beitang Clans had repeatedly tried to harm him, causing Gu Fei's anger to soar to the Nine Heavens. The hatred in his heart was so great that his eyes had turned red.
"You look so scary!" Yan'er couldn't help being alarmed when she saw Gu Fei's current appearance.
"I'm sorry!" Gu Fei realized he had lost control and slowly calmed down. But he swore to himself that he would definitely take revenge for this.
Only then did Gu Fei realize that his body was actually pierced by eighteen pitch-black iron nails. Each iron nail was the size of a chopstick and was deeply embedded in his body. Only a very short section of it was exposed outside his body.
Gu Fei felt as if his body had become numb. He couldn't feel any pain, and he didn't even know what eighteen Soul Suppressing Nails were.
It was clear that the eighteen Soul Suppressing Nails had suppressed the evil power of the Profound Yin Ghost Arrow, but at the same time, they had also completely sealed his divine sense.
"Actually, you don't need to be too sad. You still have a chance to recover!" Yan'er said.
