Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

The Netherworld Demon Sword cut through the sky, carrying with it a chilling breath of death, and pierced Zhao Kuo's heart accurately.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Zhao Kuo's resentful look was frozen in his eyes. His body gradually dissipated in the sword light, turned into points of spiritual light, and was finally swallowed by the fog.

Zhao Kuo's soul was naturally collected into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, completely cutting off the possibility of reincarnation in the six realms.

Zhou Yiqiao stood holding a banner, his face calm, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"After Zhao Kuo died, did he disappear along with his storage bag?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two phantom sound stones that fell from Zhao Kuo's body, obviously a little surprised.

If his Ten Thousand Souls Banner had not actually absorbed Zhao Kuo's soul, he would even suspect that Zhao Kuo had used the art of faking his death to slip away from under his nose.

"Interesting. Rewards are rewards, and the spiritual objects we have are our spiritual objects. The senior in this secret realm is a master who knows the rules clearly."

Zhou Yiqiao picked up the two phantom sound stones on the ground and thought to himself.

The rules in this secret realm are very different from those in the ordinary world of cultivation. They are cruel yet also reveal a subtle sense of fairness.

He gently stroked the smooth surface of the Fantasy Sound Stone, feeling the subtle spiritual power flowing through it, and became more and more excited about the future journey in the secret realm.

"Well, no matter what, I have collected nine Phantom Sound Stones once again. Let me redeem them for a reward first."

Zhou Yiqiao clenched the Fantasy Sound Stone in his hand and made a decision in his heart.

He put the Fantasy Sound Stone left by Zhao Kuo into the Moonstone Space, then turned around and moved quickly and cautiously along the path he came from towards the Fantasy Sound Altar.

Soon, Zhou Yiqiao came to the Fantasy Sound Altar again.

This ancient altar emitted a faint light in the mist, as if waiting for his return.

Zhou Yiqiao did not hesitate and quickly placed the Fantasy Sound Stone in his hand on the edge of the altar.

As the last Phantom Sound Stone was placed, the patterns on the altar lit up one by one, and the light ball in the center of the altar once again emitted a dazzling light.

Yi Qiao took a deep breath and stared at the treasure in the ball of light.

However, this time, he discovered that out of the original five treasures in the light ball, only three treasures remained.

Among them, the ancient shield engraved with mountain and river patterns had obviously been taken away by other monks while he was away.

Among the remaining three treasures, one was a long sword with electric light flowing through it and lightning patterns flashing on the sword body, which looked extremely powerful. The other two were obscured by the light and could not be seen clearly.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes swept over the three treasures one by one, and he quickly weighed them in his mind.

He already had the Netherworld Demon Sword and its companion magic sword, Dusk, and had no interest in the long sword with electric light flowing through it.

He couldn't even get the most basic information about the remaining two treasures, which made him curious and hesitant.

But the path of spiritual practice is a process of exploring the unknown and pursuing strength.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and had made a decision in his heart.

"Since it is impossible to predict, then let's just follow the flow of opportunity. Perhaps the opportunity I need is hidden in the unknown."

Now that he had made the decision, he stopped hesitating and pointed to one of the treasures obscured by the light.

"This junior chooses to exchange this item."

Zhou Yiqiao said to the altar.

The ball of light on the altar slowly floated in front of Zhou Yiqiao, and one of the treasures slowly flew out and fell into his hands.

At the same time, the ball of light reappeared, wrapped up the remaining two treasures, and restored them to their original state.

However, just as Zhou Yiqiao was about to check the treasure in his hand, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

"Brother Zhou has a good eye. This treasure is truly extraordinary."

Chen Fan's figure slowly walked out of the fog, with a faint smile on his face, but a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao was slightly startled, then he laughed.

"Brother Chen, it turns out that you were the one who took those two treasures."

"I'm still wondering, who in this secret realm can redeem two rewards from this altar in such a short time."

Chen Fan smiled lightly, shook his head and walked in front of Zhou Yiqiao.

"Brother Zhou, when I came, there were only four treasures left on the altar."

Chen Fan said slowly, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

"As for who was the first cultivator to arrive here, that is unknown. However, compared to the two of us who arrived here first, his strength and luck must be extraordinary."

Zhou Yiqiao pretended that it was his first time arriving at the Fantasy Sound Altar. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he echoed repeatedly.

"Oh? There is actually someone who can reach the Fantasy Sound Altar before Brother Chen. That's really amazing."

He looked at Chen Fan, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Chen, those people are your friends. Can you guess which Taoist friend went first?"

Chen Fan shook his head, indicating that he was not clear about the details.

"Although I am a fellow Taoist with them, they are the ones who took the initiative to make friends with me. We are not close friends on a daily basis, so my understanding of their strength is limited."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and "accepted" Chen Fan's explanation.

"Brother Chen is right. There are always people better than you. Those who can become friends with Brother Chen are not ordinary people."

Having said this, he quietly put the treasure in his hand that he had not yet examined into the storage bag and changed the subject.

"I wonder what Brother Chen is planning next? Since we have met in this secret realm, why don't we travel together so that we can take care of each other."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Zhou, with our strength, it is not difficult to obtain a spiritual object from this altar."

"But after all, we are here together with fellow Taoists. If the two of us take one-third of the reward, it may cause dissatisfaction among others."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao looked at Chen Fan with a little surprise.

"How could Zhou not realize that Brother Chen is such a person who considers the overall situation so well?"

Chen Fan laughed helplessly, then pulled Zhou Yiqiao away from the Fantasy Sound Altar. After walking a hundred steps, he threw a button-like object to the ground.

After the object fell to the ground, it instantly emitted a hazy precious light that enveloped the two of them, forming a hidden barrier that isolated them from outside prying eyes and interference.

"Brother Zhou, do you still remember that I invited you to this secret place because I wanted you to help me with something?"

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course, since Zhou has promised Brother Chen, he will not forget it."

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight."

Chen Fan's expression became serious.

"In fact, this secret place was first discovered by me, and I was also the first to explore it."

As soon as Chen Fan opened his mouth, he told Zhou Yiqiao a shocking piece of news...
