Chapter 72 - Secrets

Under the veil, was a face that was about the same age as Lei Yang. At that time, he had a fair and white skin, and his black flickering eyes made him look smart and spirited. Gao Ting's nose and sharp facial features all showed that he was an incomparably handsome youth, and it could be seen at a glance that his family's status was still that of an ill.u.s.trious young master.

At this moment, he seemed to have noticed Lei Yang's vigilance, he cupped his fists and politely said: "I am Floating Cloud Pavilion Disciple Zhang Qing, thank you brother for saving me, I am very grateful!"

However, Lei Yang was still extremely vigilant. Looking at him, he did not say a word, but merely coughed lightly, purposefully taking a high and profound stance. The four sects were too powerful, so he didn't want to provoke any sect's disciple, nor did he have any intention of fawning over them.

The Floating Cloud Pavilion disciple who called himself Zhang Qing saw through Lei Yang's guilt, and laughed sinisterly, and suddenly opened his mouth, and ridiculed loudly: "Haha, I thought you were a man, but you actually called yourself a coward!"

"What... "d.a.m.n, you're a dog, you've become so fast!" Lei Yang saw that this guy was changing too quickly. One second he was still showing a grateful look, and the next moment he was already like a diaosi. He was not used to it at all.

Lei Yang still had a guilty conscience. After all, he was the one who woke up the numerous Withered Leaf Beasts, and although he had saved the other party, he was still a little apologetic in his heart. But now, he suddenly felt extremely calm and even regretted saving this fellow. This kind of person should have been devoured alive by the Withered Leaf.

"Ignorant rogue cultivator, without me, you won't be able to reach the Dragon Abyss!" Zhang Qing laid on the low tree leisurely, swinging his legs. From time to time, he would peek at the gradually disappearing Lei Yang from the corner of his eyes.

However, the scene that he expected did not appear, and after Lei Yang heard it, he did not have any reaction, he continued to walk forward, as though this news did not pique his interest at all.

Zhang Qing was still very confident, "Haha, Rogue Cultivator, you can leave now. Only in that place can you leave this secret realm's transmission array. If you leave now, don't beg me while kneeling down!"

"Hey, you're joking, right? It can't be that petty, right? Are you really leaving?"

"Sigh...

"

In reality, it was just as Zhang Qing had predicted, after he revealed the Dragon Abyss and especially after he mentioned the matter regarding the teleportation formation, Lei Yang's heart had already been moved to tears. He was not familiar with this tomb's secret realm at all. Now that he had encountered someone familiar with this place, how could he not be tempted?

Lei Yang predicted that the brat must have some sort of plan, for him to give out such a huge piece of information. Otherwise, with his strange personality, it would be impossible for him to reveal it so easily.

Lei Yang understood, at this time, even if his heart was moved, he could not take the initiative to turn around and ask him, or else he would be in a pa.s.sive position. He was betting that Zhang Qing would definitely catch up to him. If that was the case, then he held the initiative.

But that fellow was not an easy target, seeing that he was getting further and further away, he forced himself to put on a superior att.i.tude, causing Lei Yang to feel extremely guilty, but on the surface he pretended to not care, and suddenly disappeared into the distance.

Just as Lei Yang could not hold it in and was about to turn back and ask, he suddenly heard Zhang Qing's fawning voice from far behind him.

Lei Yang was immediately overjoyed. He knew that he had won this time, and thus, he used the Flowerb.u.t.terfly Steps and the Windy Steps under his feet. Just as he was about to activate the special short distance teleportation, his body also instantly appeared as an illusion.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing, who was chasing after him, panicked and shouted, "Hey, don't go! Brother, I was wrong. I was wrong, okay?"

Seeing that Lei Yang's body was becoming more and more illusory, Zhang Qing could only stare, his eyes revealing an expression of anxiety!

"What's wrong?" Just as Lei Yang heard Zhang Qing say he made a mistake, his figure that was about to disappear, suddenly became clear once again.

He even had his hands behind his back and was standing tall and straight. He completely a.s.sumed the att.i.tude of an elder as he looked down at Zhang Qing who was in front of him.

"d.a.m.n, you …" How shameless... "Shameless!" Zhang Qing instantly understood what was going on. This guy in front of him was completely deceiving him, and he immediately jumped up, unwilling to accept this outcome. Because in his memory, he was the only one who had done anything bad to him. He had never seen anyone do anything bad to him before.

"Hmm …" Seeing that Zhang Qing had understood and was not convinced, Lei Yang glared at him and snorted. Then, he turned around and was about to leave, scaring Zhang Qing so much that he quickly went forward to stop him.

Seeing Lei Yang's imposing manner, and seeing the look the other person was looking at him with, Zhang Qing immediately understood. Even though the age difference between the two wasn't big, but after that secret battle just now, the other party had clearly already obtained the upper hand. Even though his heart was aggrieved, he still had no choice but to smile and use all his strength to curry favor with him.

"Brother, I was in the wrong. I was wrong. I was ungrateful. I was arrogant and conceited. I was high and mighty. I looked down upon others. I shouldn't have called you a coward. I …"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

However, although there are rare heavenly materials in many places, they are either guarded by demonic beasts or have already been occupied by cultivators. If I were to rely on myself alone to obtain them, it would be too dangerous.

Brother, you are extremely fast, even Shan Gui from the Ghost Dao Sect and Su Shengqin from Heaven Gate Sect were able to attack you safely, which shows just how powerful you are.

Furthermore, with your unique speed cultivation technique and my scheme, if we work together, I believe that countless treasures and rare resources will be easily captured.

Hearing that, Lei Yang's heart was moved, just as he expected, this guy had such a good plan.

"Hehe, it's a benefit, of course it's a benefit. I know that there are many places where treasures of heaven and earth are hidden. At that time, even if we are able to obtain fifty percent of the benefits, isn't that enough?" Zhang Qing was beaming with joy as he spoke with a confident expression.

"Not enough!" Without waiting for Zhang Qing's happiness to rise, Lei Yang immediately opened his mouth and spoke coldly. Now that he was certain of Zhang Qing's decision, he had already agreed in his heart. However, he decided to see if he could get any more useful information out of him. After all, he did not know anything about this large tomb.

"You …" It meant that right after Zhang Qing started to get excited, Lei Yang gave him a bucket of cold water, causing him to be immediately dissatisfied.

Lei Yang was secretly pleased with himself, but he knew his limits and knew that he shouldn't go overboard. After deliberately pondering for a moment, he slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, "Speak!"

"This secret realm is called Dragon Abyss. Originally, it was a trial ground for the spiritual energy disciples of the four sects. Do you know why the four sects agreed to let you and the other rogue cultivators enter this tomb?" Zhang Qing looked at Lei Yang with his evil eyes and laughed, as though he had a deeper meaning.

"You deliberately mystified things. Didn't your Elder w.a.n.g Huantian already say that the four sect masters of the four great sects valued the world and cared about the lives of the world? That's why they purposely opened this secret realm and allowed us Qi's people to share the resources within!" Lei Yang knew that there must be some unspeakable secrets, but he purposely spoke like that, wanting to start a conversation with Zhang Qing, to completely open his chatterbox.

"What do you mean?" Hearing that, Lei Yang frowned, and followed Zhang Qing's words, his face full of suspicions as he looked at Zhang Qing.

"This place was originally a tomb of an almighty cultivator of the Dao. However, in front of so many people, it was discovered by four sects in succession. Back then, the experts of the four sects had done everything they could to break into this secret realm and plunder its countless resources. But it was just that the light screen formation outside was too strong, not only did the formation itself have a powerful self-recovery ability, it could also suppress realms. Those with high cultivation were unable to cut through the formation with their cultivation, and there was a cultivation limit for those who wanted to enter the formation, so in the end, all of them died without success.

However, even though cultivators were not allowed to enter, their spiritual sense was able to probe deeper and found that there were countless heavenly and earthly treasures. Any one of them was a rare and valuable item.

This feeling of being able to stare at the treasure mountain without being able to feel it at all caused the higher-ups of the four sects to be itching.

Every once in a while, it would become weak and could even take the opportunity to open a crevice in the array. However, this crevice in the array could only allow cultivators of the Spiritual Qi realm below the Spirit Origin Realm to enter, and once it exceeded the limit, the array would instantly be strangled and they would explode into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist.

And other than the various rare heavenly materials, the most important thing was that in the center of this large tomb's secret realm, there was a deep hole that one could not see the bottom.

The depths of this deep hole could not be seen. The heads of the four sects had personally come and probed with their consciousness, but in the end, they weren't able to probe the bottom.

It was as if there was something at the bottom of the hole that could block divine sense. No matter how powerful the divine sense was, once it entered, it would be stuck in a quagmire.

However, this deep hole was extremely strange. From the bottom of the hole, an unbearably cold aura constantly emanated. This aura was extremely cold, so cold that it could freeze a person's thoughts and even their soul.

However, from time to time, the aura of a dragon would emit from this deep hole which was rich in cold Miasma.

Earth Dragon's Qi was a rare treasure used by spirit disciples to condense Spiritual Source. Using earth dragon's Qi to condense Spiritual Source, not only could it improve the quality of Spiritual Source, it also greatly increased the success rate of condensing Spiritual Source.

In order to make use of the resources here, this large tomb has naturally become the trial ground for the cultivators of the four sects, and this place is also named the large tomb. "
