"The foundation of this arcane realm lies in the weapon workshop, and the foundation of the workshop lies in the Fire of the Earth Lung," Kong Kong said.
Lu Ye's expression froze …
This reminded him of the Three Great Arcane Realms of the Human Clan on the Wushuang Continent. The Three Great Arcane Realms had always drifted in the void and were not visible. However, after the Divine Pillar absorbed the power of the Leyline of the arcane realms, the Three Great Arcane Realms lost their ability to drift in the void because their foundation was destroyed.
It was similar to the current situation.
"I thought this place could last for a few more years. At least, it would not be a problem for you to finish your apprenticeship, but … I can only say that it's fate." Kong Kong looked at Lu Ye with relief. "Fortunately, you are talented. In the future, even without my guidance, you may surpass me in the art of weapon forging. My obsession should dissipate."
"Sect Master …" Lu Ye did not know what to say for a moment. He could not say that he was the cause of the changes in the arcane realm.
He did not expect such a thing to happen. His original intention was to store more fuel for the Talent Tree in case of emergency. Who knew that this would lead to the destruction of the arcane realm?
For almost two months, he had been urging the power of the Talent Tree to devour the Fire of the Earth Lung every day. The Talent Tree had now stored a large amount of energy.
"Don't be sad. My original body has long disappeared. Only my obsession remained for thousands of years. Now that I can see the good results, it can be said that God has treated me well."
As he spoke, Kong Kong took out an ancient jade slip, "Although I really want to see the day you finish your apprenticeship, since it has already happened, there is no reason to avoid it. This is the Sword Instrument Sect's Essence of Weapon Refining and Sword Principle Quintessence. In the future, without my guidance, you can study it by yourself."
"Yes." Lu Ye took the jade slip and carefully put it away.
Kong Kong turned his palm, and a one-foot-long gourd appeared in his palm. The surface of the gourd was covered with many complicated lines. It did not look like it was man-made, but more like it was natural.
As for its quality, Lu Ye could not tell at a glance.
"The Sword Gourd is the keepsake of the Sword Instrument Sect's Sect Leader. This item was born from nature and was picked up by the ninth Founding Master in a desperate situation. Later, it was slightly refined by the thirteenth Founding Master. Many of its mysteries have been passed down to this day. Today, I'm giving it to you. I hope that you can bring honor to the Sword Instrument Sect one day."
Lu Ye once again reached out to take it. It was heavy. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Sovereign, can you leave with me?"
Although Lu Ye already knew that the Kongkong in front of him was just an obsession, they were still master and disciple after all. In addition, Kongkong's strength was outstanding. If he could bring him out of the secret realm, he would be a great backer.
His sword qi was able to cut back a powerhouse like Thought Moon Immortal. His strength was definitely stronger than many of the current Divine Sea Realm in Nine Regions.
Kongkong smiled and shook his head. "The fact that this old man has been able to survive for thousands of years is already a blessing from the heavens. With the current situation of the Nine Regions, this old man's obsession will definitely not appear outside."
There was a deeper meaning to his words. Lu Ye fell into deep thought.
Kongkong waved his hand. "You and I have come to an end. Let's go." A soft force brushed against Lu Ye's face. Without any resistance, Lu Ye was pushed out. When he came back to his senses, he had already returned to the entrance of the valley.
Ying Wuji had returned to this place at an unknown time, still wearing a tiger-head hat on his head …
Thought Moon Immortal, who had been climbing the Sword Mountain, also returned.
She looked at Lu Ye and said, "What did that old man say? What happened here?"
"The foundation of this secret realm is unstable. It's probably going to collapse." Lu Ye briefly explained the information he knew.
Thought Moon Immortal frowned. "Then we have to find a way to leave quickly." Once the secret realm collapsed, it would inevitably cause a huge commotion. If they didn't leave quickly, it was very likely that they would be swept into it. At that time, their life and death would be unpredictable.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a low shout from the thatched hut, "Come!"
A clear and melodious sword cry sounded, and the Sword Mountain buzzed. Flying swords flew out of the Sword Mountain, turned into streamers of light, and swept in the direction of the thatched hut like swallows returning to their nest.
During this time, Thought Moon Immortal had been climbing the Sword Mountain. Although she had passed many tests of flying swords and obtained many flying swords, there were even more left on the Sword Mountain.
Now, with a command from Kongkong, tens of thousands of swords flew together.
In front of the thatched hut, Kongkong's figure suddenly expanded rapidly, turning into a phantom that was hundreds of feet tall. The streamers of light gathered from thousands of flying swords were held in his hand, as if he was holding a huge long sword.
He glanced at Lu Ye for a moment, then laughed and recited, "All dharma emptiness is emptiness, emptiness is emptiness, but emptiness is emptiness!"
The sword slashed down!
The sky fell and the earth cracked.
A huge crack appeared above Lu Ye and the others. At the same time, the hundreds of feet tall phantom also suddenly shrank. In front of the thatched hut, Kongkong was still Kongkong, but his figure had become extremely illusory and transparent.
The huge long sword in his hand also collapsed, and many flying swords gathered and rotated like a huge dragon, wrapping Lu Ye and the others in it. Like a spiral, they drilled into the crack and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Lu Ye and the others left, the space in this secret realm suddenly collapsed. Where the weapon forging workshop was, the fierce fire of the earth fiercely gushed out with the collapse. The tongues of fire engulfed everything in the secret realm, including Kongkong's illusory figure sitting in front of the thatched hut.
The flying swords gathered into a dragon, and drilled out of the huge crack in the space, and then all the way up, destroying everything in their path.
The location of the entrance to the secret realm was unknown how many feet underground, and above it were solid rocks. But at this moment, under the stirring of the sword dragon, these rocks were not much different from tofu.
Until a certain moment, the sword dragon broke through all the restraints, and the three of them saw the light of day again.
It was also at this moment that the sword dragon suddenly collapsed, turning into thousands of streamers, and flew away in all directions.
Thought Moon Immortal frowned, mainly because this movement was a bit too big, and it was very likely to attract the attention of nearby cultivators.
Just as she was about to take Lu Ye and Ying Wu Ji and leave this place, a sudden surge of fire chased after them from below. Astonishingly, it was the fire of the earth from the secret realm.
The fire swept out, and the void distorted.
Lu Ye and Ying Wu Ji both felt a sense of impending doom. At this time, it was already too late to escape. Thought Moon Immortal flashed in front of the two of them, and she circulated her spiritual power, fiercely slashing down with the willow catkin sword in her hand!
Like a waterfall, the sword light directly split the soaring fire in half, and spread to the left and right. Only the three of them were not corroded by the fire.
Thought Moon Immortal also circulated her spiritual power with all her might, protecting the two of them.
Ying Wu Ji was moved to the extreme!
At this time, if Thought Moon Immortal did not care about his life, even if he had ten lives, it would not be enough. Even if he understood that he was only Lu Ye's collateral, he was still being protected.
After more than ten breaths of time, the flames that were spewing out from below gradually subsided.
Lu Ye and Ying Wu Ji breathed a long sigh of relief.
Thought Moon Immortal's expression was extremely solemn. She turned to Lu Ye and ordered, "Let's split up. You quietly sneak back to Mount Cang Yan!"
Saying so, she grabbed Ying Wu Ji by the collar. Under Ying Wu Ji's bewildered gaze, she directly flew into the air. Her spiritual power and the aura of a Divine Sea Realm cultivator were not concealed in the slightest, as brilliant as the sun.
Lu Ye's expression also changed. He hurriedly put the amber into his spirit beast pouch and fled in another direction.
The reason Thought Moon Immortal did not take him was because she had already been exposed.
That powerful sword strike just now had most likely alarmed the nearby Divine Sea Realm cultivators. She was also quite famous in the Myriad Devil Ridge, and this place was the heart of the Myriad Devil Ridge.
In this situation, once the Divine Sea Realm cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge learned that she was here, they would definitely pursue her in all kinds of ways.
In this kind of situation, if she still took Lu Ye with her, it would be extremely strange. Lu Ye's expression also changed. He hurriedly put the amber into his spirit beast pouch and fled in another direction.

In this kind of situation, once the Divine Sea Realm cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge learned that she was here, they would definitely pursue her in all kinds of ways.
In this kind of situation, if she still took Lu Ye with her, it would be extremely unwise. Once Lu Ye was involved in the fight between the Divine Sea Realm cultivators, he would most likely be in danger.
This time was not like the last time when he fought against Wan Zhang Gang. Last time, there were only three Divine Sea Realm cultivators on the other side. There were not many of them, and Lu Ye could still use his Flight of the Rainbow Phoenixes.
But this time, there was no telling how many Divine Sea Realm cultivators would be sent from the Myriad Devil Ridge. When Thought Moon Immortal left, she deliberately revealed her aura and power to attract the attention of the powerful cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge. This way, it would be easier for Lu Ye to hide and escape.
The reason why she took Ying Wuji with her was that she was afraid that without her, Ying Wuji would expose Lu Ye's identity. In this kind of situation, it was best for Lu Ye to act alone.
Thought Moon Immortal did not know how Lu Ye had sneaked into the Lonely Mountain City. But if he could sneak into the Myriad Devil Ridge safely, it meant that Lu Ye had his own unique skills.
Therefore, after realizing the current situation, she made a prompt decision to separate from Lu Ye.
She had to worry about Lu Ye's life, but she could ignore Ying Wuji's life. If there were Divine Sea Realm cultivators surrounding her, Ying Wuji might be of some use in her hands.
No matter what, Ying Wuji was a core disciple of the Senluo Hall of this generation. The Myriad Devil Ridge had to take care of the Senluo Hall's reputation.
Thought Moon Immortal had already left. Lu Ye did not dare to fly too far. After flying for 15 kilometers, he immediately landed and found a place to hide. He activated the Aura Concealment and Concealment Spiritual Tattoos and quietly lay dormant.
He felt a headache coming on.
Emptiness had caused trouble. The method he used to send the three of them out of the Sword Instrument Sect's secret realm was too grand. Not to mention that the flying swords would attract the attention of tens of thousands of Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators, the collapse of the secret realm itself would also attract the attention of nearby cultivators.
Coupled with the actions of Thought Moon Immortal, this area had probably attracted the attention of cultivators from all directions.
That was indeed the case.
Lu Ye soon felt the aura of a Divine Sea Realm cultivator passing by not far away. He acted in a hurry, so he did not know if he was chasing after Thought Moon Immortal.
A moment later, another sound of breaking through the air came from nearby. Obviously, the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators who had received the news had come to investigate.
In the next half day, the situation developed as Lu Ye had expected. A large number of Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators gathered from all directions to investigate the cause of the strange changes here. Coupled with the disappearance of many ownerless flying swords, the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators' enthusiasm for treasure hunting was aroused.
On the Li Plain, it was very lively.
There was no news from Thought Moon Immortal. Lu Ye did not know what the situation was, so he did not dare to disturb her.
Asking Ying Wuji was an option, but after all, their positions were different. Even if he asked him, Lu Ye did not dare to believe the answer he received.
He could only continue to wait.
