Chapter 603: The Last Heaven in the Deep Secret Realm
The closer you get to the depths of the secret realm of the City of Disaster, the denser the aura lingering among the ruins becomes.

From time to time, pure energy would surge through.

Qi of this quality can be directly picked and refined by Taoists without the need to purify it through extensive efforts.

This day.

In a ruin near the depths, two streams of light flashed and jumped on the ruins, one chasing and the other fleeing, the situation was very tense.

It didn't take long for the latter to catch up with the former. His magic power surged, easily breaking the opponent's spiritual light and blasting him into the ruins.

A scream of agony was heard, and a plea for mercy was heard from the ruins: "Fellow Daoist, spare my life. I am willing to offer my entire fortune!"

The stream of light that was chasing him paused in mid-air, and indeed did not attack him again.

But this person's screams were even more shrill, and he shouted in despair: "What a terrible evil spirit and magic! Ah!"

Immediately, a black and white flame surged from the man's body and burned fiercely. In a short while, his body and soul were burned to death, leaving only a skeleton on the spot.

The Taoist who killed this person stretched out his hand and the corpse flew into the Purple Palace. A storage bag broke away from it and fell into his hand.

Yu Lie weighed the storage bag, a sneer appeared on his face, and said:

"You even dare to rob me. You must be tired of living!"

At this moment, he was heading step by step towards the deepest part of the secret realm of Huoxing City, picking up various kinds of Qi along the way and melting them into his body.

Therefore, he naturally encountered many dangers along the way. The Taoist killed by Yu Lie today was one of them.

When the other party saw him gathering the qi, they thought he was a low-ranking or low-level Taoist who had not yet refined the qi, so they jumped out wildly to blackmail Yu Lie and even wanted to take Yu Lie as a slave to help the other party search for treasures in the secret realm.

And the result is the situation we see now.

Yu Lie almost slapped the beast to death with a flip of his hand, but the opponent had some means of saving his life. Seeing that he was no match for him, he ran away in time, and the situation turned into a situation of one fleeing and the other chasing.

However, the opponent was still caught up by Yu Lie and was easily burned to death by the death flame.

After Yu Lie finished looking through the contents of the storage bag, he put all the treasures into the Purple Mansion with satisfaction, and said with emotion:
"It is true that a person cannot become rich without unexpected wealth. Previously, Kuimu Lang and I had worked hard for more than a month to search for treasures, and we thought we had made a lot of money. But now it seems that we are still a drop in the bucket."

In the past few days, he has eliminated many Taoists along the way, and the number of spirit stones he obtained is directly four or five times that of before.

This batch of spirit stones also made Yu Lie, who had become wealthy due to his transformation, instantly become wealthy again.

This situation made him wonder, if he had been doing this kind of strong man behavior from the beginning, would his wealth exceed that of an ordinary alchemy master?

After sighing for a while, Yu Lie withdrew his gaze, and the dead flame on the ground that had not yet been extinguished went straight into his hands and merged into his body.

Yu Lie looked at the Death Flame and saw that it could not only easily burn a Taoist priest to death, but also that the Death Flame itself did not consume much energy after killing the other party. He felt even more satisfied.

The battles with the bandits over the past few days not only made Yu Lie richer, but also gave him a more intuitive understanding of his current magical powers.

To be frank, although his current cultivation level is only 240 years, which means he has just entered the realm of refining the inner energy, he is still not as good as someone who has cultivated the inner energy for 300 years and has reached the pinnacle of refining the inner energy.

Unless the other party has the potential to become a top-grade elixir, once he is targeted by Yu Lie, he will be left to die like chickens and ducks.

Yu Lie estimated that when his Taoist practice accumulated to three hundred years, although he would not become the number one person below the Dancheng realm, it would be enough for him to roam freely in the Taoist realm and be completely fearless of people in the same realm!

"But this is not enough. My Qi still has a lot of room for improvement!"

Yu Lie muttered to himself in a low voice, his figure flashed, and he continued to rush upwards, picking up all kinds of spiritual energy.

In the following time, all the energy that flows through Yu Lie will be "chewed" by him. As long as there is something novel in it, he will refine it in large quantities and absorb it into his body.

As a result, Shengang originally had only twenty-one characteristics, but in a short period of time, it expanded to fifty-two.

Among the newly added Gangqi characteristics, there are five that belong to the top Gangqi, ranking among the thirty-six flavors of Tiangang.

However, this number still did not satisfy Yu Lie.

Although there are only thirty-six kinds of top-level qi in the world, in reality there are more than that number. And below that, there are tens of thousands of other inferior qi.

Yu Lie felt that, although he didn't want to melt all the internal energy into his body, he had to at least double it to make a total of one hundred and eight.

These over a hundred kinds of qi characteristics are mixed together into one. When the qi in his body is used against the enemy in the future, no matter the enemy is a mountain and sea immortal or a creature from outside the domain, it should be able to restrain it.

at the same time.

As he collected more and more Qi, Yu Lie was getting closer and closer to the deepest part of the secret realm of Huoxing City.

Finally, he passed through numerous ruins and seemed to have reached the top of the secret realm.

Yu Lie looked up and saw no more floating palaces or island fragments, but only a thick layer of gray clouds.

It rolled and squirmed on the dome, as if it was the end of this world, but it also seemed that there was an even larger monster hidden inside.

Yu Lie looked around and suddenly found a square like a chessboard near the clouds.

This chessboard is gray in color, and if you don't look closely, you will easily overlook it.

Yu Lie immediately flew towards the chessboard.

When he flew closer, he found that the location of the chessboard was right in the center of the secret realm of Huoxing City. Looking down from above, the piles of ruins below surrounded the chessboard like building blocks.

And on the chessboard, there are already strong auras standing up.

Their spirit or aura was like a wolf smoke, piercing the sky, allowing Yu Lie to feel the oppression from miles away.

Yu Lie, who had been calm at first, changed his expression slightly: "Is this... the aura of a completed elixir?"

After a person has formed the elixir, his true Qi will undergo a qualitative change and will have a new name, called "elixir qi".

Although Yu Lie himself had not yet successfully made the elixir, the elixir energy was very obvious to those who practiced Taoism and could be seen at a glance.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that although the Dan Qi on the chessboard was powerful, its level of cultivation did not exceed the sixth grade.

Although the aura is strong, it is still within the range of a sixth-grade creature, and is even slightly inferior to Dou Muxie's physical body.

This made Yu Lie's eyes flicker, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
“It seems that what the Black Water Monastery Master said is true. Dancheng Daoists must lower their heads and suppress their realm to the sixth level before entering this place. Otherwise, they cannot enter at all.”

Since the Taoist master who has achieved alchemy can only reveal a level of Taoism below the fifth rank in the secret realm and cannot use his magical powers, let alone the great elixir, it is hard to say who will win or lose if Yu Lie fights with him.

However, Yu Lie counted from a distance and found that there were as many as five Dancheng-level auras. In other words, there were at least five Dancheng Taoist masters who were suppressing their cultivation on the chessboard.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked around again and found that he was indeed not in the upper level of the secret realm. After finding other footholds, he tensed his mind and flew towards the chessboard.

However, as he approached, mist began to surge around Yu Lie.

In the blink of an eye, his breath became unfamiliar, and his figure and face became completely different. Even if his close friends were around, it was difficult to recognize him.

After a while, Yu Lie landed on the chessboard.

As soon as he arrived, he found that this chessboard was even bigger than he had imagined. It was estimated to be ten miles long, and the chessboard was crisscrossed with chess-piece-like statues, some lying down, some lying on the ground, in various shapes.

There are hundreds and thousands of species, including lions, tigers, leopards, dragons, pythons, monkeys and alligators.

Some of the Taoists who had already set foot on the chessboard one step ahead of me sat cross-legged on the chess piece statues openly.

The other part is like Yu Lie, who uses statues to hide his body in the dark. Only the aura on his body can reveal his existence, but it makes it difficult to recognize his cultivation and identity.

Yu Lie slipped into the chessboard in a low-key manner. He walked around, looked around secretly, and immediately found many familiar faces on the chessboard.

The first thing he discovered was Heishuizi.

The old Taoist was sitting carefree in the center of the chessboard. He exuded a fierce aura and his cultivation had been close to three hundred years. It was even possible that he had already reached the sixth-grade upper realm.

This situation made Yu Lie's eyes widen. For a moment, he even wondered whether this old guy had obtained an ancient panacea in the secret realm.

He wondered whether he should go forward and recognize the other party so that the other party could also give him some pills.

However, Yu Lie quickly dismissed this idea because he saw the figures of Kui Mulang and others in the center of the chessboard.

Among them there was a Taoist priest, the aura above his head transformed into that of a dragon, and his magical powers were obviously strong. Yu Lie took a quick look and recognized that the other party was the Jiaomu Jiao that he had not seen for ten years!

Although Yu Lie had no direct grudges with Jiao Mujiao in the past, and he recently reconciled with Kuimulang.

But beside these two people, there were a group of Taoist priests.

They formed a circle, surrounding a floating tent in the center.

There was a stream of elixir-like energy rushing straight up from the tent, demonstrating its powerful might.

Yu Lie looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Huh! Dao Ting."

He intuitively realized that the person who was secretly chasing him was most likely in the Taoist tent.

"It turns out that a Taoist master who has achieved the Dancheng stage is hunting me down. It seems that the Taoist court is still unwilling to give up and wants to completely get rid of me, a Taoist thief who has brought shame to them."

Yu Lie pondered in his heart.

Immediately, he suppressed the thought and looked around the huge chessboard several times, but unfortunately he did not find Sang Yutang, Tie Jianlan and others.

I don’t know whether the other party has not yet reached the depths of the secret realm, or is hiding in the dark like him, spying on the whole scene.

………………

At this time, it is in the center of the chessboard.

In a tent surrounded by many Taoist people, a man was sitting cross-legged and bathing in a pool nearby.

Mist rises from the pool, and the liquid surface is crystal clear, like jade.

If Yu Lie were here, he would immediately discover that the water in the pool was the spiritual dew that could only be found occasionally in the secret realm. The mist rising from the pool was also the spiritual mist condensed from the ancient spiritual energy.

Such a luxurious arrangement is just to provide a good and comfortable environment for people in the pool.

As for this person's identity, he is not the Taoist master of alchemy as Yu Lie imagined, but the magical son who is currently in charge of the entire Taoist court.

As for the Taoist master Morosan, who cut himself with a sword and entered this place, this beast was just like a guard or a lackey. He respectfully transformed into a human form and stood at the door of the tent to prevent anyone from coming in to disturb him.

Slowly, after Shen Qizi finished his training, he exhaled, suddenly opened his eyes, and said lightly:
"The ancient spiritual energy is indeed mellow and beneficial to the body and mind. Fellow Daoist Moro, thank you for finding so much spiritual dew."

The statue-like Master Morosan immediately moved and replied respectfully: "Son of God, you are too kind. It is my blessing to be able to help you."

After hearing such flattering words, Shen Qizi sneered and ordered:
"It's almost time. Notify them that the last level of the secret realm will be opened soon. Tell them to be alert and clean up the place to prevent bad people from entering and causing any accidents."

"Clear the place? It seems that the formation is effective..." Master Moro San heard this and immediately showed joy in his eyes. He raised his head and said:

"It has been less than half a year since the secret realm was opened, and the last level is about to be opened... But thanks to the Son of God, you have already mastered the secret realm?"

Shen Qizi showed a proud look on his face and said:
"I have given you my orders. Just go and do your job. Remember to keep a close watch on the door and do not let any Taoist priest in. Otherwise, I will hold you responsible afterwards!"

Hearing this answer, Master Morosan's face became even more joyful, and he immediately said, "Yes, I will give the order."

As soon as the voice fell, the beast saluted and then quickly fled out of the tent, rushing towards the people in the camp and secretly conveying the message.

In the tent, only Shenqizi was left sitting cross-legged in the spirit pond. He stretched his limbs, with a hint of sneer and nonchalance on his face, and muttered to himself:
"It's just a piece of ruined heaven, but it actually hides something so secret!

I will not open the last layer of heaven in advance for me to enter unless I sacrifice 100,000 Taoists with blood. Let me see what great secrets and benefits you have hidden that are worth keeping such a watch over!"

As he spoke, Shenqizi's eyes showed deep interest, but also a deep chill.

If he is not satisfied with the final benefits, he will take revenge on all the Taoists in Huoxing City!

At that time, let’s see how the Chaos Immortal Palace will react.
