Chapter 456 Unshirkable Responsibility

Chapter 456 Unshirkable Responsibility

…

Mottled walls,

dilapidated doors and windows,

There is still a vague glimpse of what it looked like back then.

A group of people walked on the ancient streets,

Looking around with mixed feelings,

With inexplicable sadness.

"How grand was the sect back then?"

Tang Tianbao couldn't help but think as his eyes swept over the large buildings.

The secret realm is only opened once every hundred years, and as the Holy Son of this generation, this is his first time to enter.

Although there are resources left by the ancestors in the secret realm, they can greatly alleviate the current predicament.

However, Tang Tianbao, Zhou Ziwen and others were surprisingly not happy. Instead, they felt guilty towards the ancestors of the sect.

Since the beginning of their cultivation, they have been instilled with the concept of cultivating hard for the revival of the sect, and they have already developed a true identification with the identity of the monks of the Holy Fire Sect.

If the younger generation is not incompetent, why should we always rely on the legacy of our ancestors? !

But the facts are facts. Since losing its dominance, the Holy Fire Sect has been suppressed by the God Samana with all its strength. It has become increasingly weak and has to remain anonymous.

The most critical cultivation resources are becoming less and less available, and the situation is becoming more and more embarrassing.

After the death of the last elder, Shi Renjie, there was an embarrassing situation without Jindan monks. This made many loyal believers unwilling but helpless.

"."

Feeling ashamed, Tang Tianbao, Zhou Ziwen, and Uncle Yang walked forward slowly, and no one spoke for a while.

As an alchemist, Liu Yu's revealed cultivation level is only in the middle stage of foundation building, so naturally he is in the safest position in the middle.

He joins the Holy Fire Sect now only for the "Three Yuan Fruit". He has no special feelings and no burden.

However, as fellow sect monks, they can understand the current mood of the six people.

The core members who can be selected to enter the secret realm and can naturally be trusted are mostly trained (brainwashed) by the sect from childhood, and receive resources far beyond those of ordinary monks.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

In this case, if you don’t feel a little guilty, you have no conscience.

Tang Tianbao and three others were in the front, Liu Yu was in the middle, and the other three in the late stage of foundation building were behind.

A group of seven people groped forward cautiously.

Carefully avoiding the puppet's sensing range, the seven people walked between the decaying buildings. Tang Tianbao, who had been silent for a long time, slowly opened his mouth and told the news about the secret realm.

Although the Holy Fire Order can prevent the second-level guardian puppets from being regarded as intruders, each third-level puppet is controlled by an independent system formation. It is difficult to say whether it will have any effect.

As a secret realm left over from the time when the Holy Fire Cult flourished, third-level puppets also exist, and their number is no longer small.

Naturally, the seven of them had to be careful and not take their lives for granted.

"The secret realm is divided into three levels"

Having said this, the seven people stopped walking and came to a crossroads. There were guardian puppets on both sides of the road.

Tang Tianbao spoke for a moment, estimated the puppet's sensing range, and silently jumped onto the house and climbed over the eaves and walls.

After the six people following him were all in place, he continued to introduce.

The physical body of the immortal cultivators in the foundation-building stage is no longer a mortal body, so it is no problem to jump onto a building more than ten feet high with a little help. The seven of them have already climbed up each building as if they were walking on flat ground.

Liu Yu followed closely the footsteps of the three people in front, less than two feet away, and remembered every word of the secret information that Tang Tianbao said in his heart.

At this distance, if he chooses to make a sneak attack, he is very sure to contact someone.

"Perhaps, when Tang Tianbao has almost finished the secret realm news, he can decisively kill this person and get the Holy Fire Token?"

Walking along the eaves and walls, an inexplicable color flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and a bold idea arose.

With his current strength, if it were a sneak attack, he would be very confident that he could kill any one of the three people first, and then escape unscathed from the attacks of the remaining five people.

The means are a little despicable, but he doesn't mind using them as long as he can achieve his goal.

However, Liu Yu thought about it again and again, and finally put an end to the idea temporarily.

Although Tang Tianbao had behaved openly and openly in the past, no one knew whether he had left a hand in such an important matter regarding such an important matter.

After all, I know the person but not the heart, and there is no way to verify the authenticity of the news at this time.

It's better to follow this person and wait until you reach the location of the Three Yuan Fruit or when you have the right time to take action!

Liu Yu listened carefully. Tang Tianbao spoke very fast, and in just twenty breaths, he roughly introduced the situation of the secret realm.

According to it, the entire secret realm is divided into three levels.

The first and second floors store a large number of resources left over from the heyday of the Holy Fire Cult, but each resource is protected by formations, puppets and other means.

If there is no Holy Fire Order to open it, you can only rely on brute force to crack it.

As for the third level, it is the core of the entire secret realm. Tang Tianbao only mentioned it in a few words and seemed unwilling to mention it more.

Liu Yu looked calm, but secretly felt something strange in her heart.

However, the inquiry was too abrupt at this time, so he did not speak. Anyway, in the end, all the answers to the mystery will be revealed.

As for whether he can make it to the end, Liu Yu is sure.

"tread" "tread"

There were slight footsteps on the somewhat rotten eaves.

Although they have restrained themselves enough, the six of them are not like Liu Yu, who has minute control over their own strength.

Inevitably, there was still a slight movement.

Fortunately, the seven people were outside the perception range of the guardian puppet, and slight movements would not affect the situation.

After marching slowly for a while, they returned to the bluestone ground. Tang Tianbao raised his hand, and the seven of them stopped in front of a tall tower.

On the surface, this tall tower is dark blue in color and has seven floors. It seems to be built of wood.

However, Liu Yu glanced around and knew that this tower was by no means an ordinary building.

How can an ordinary building survive three thousand years without decay?

At least it was made of spirit wood, and it also underwent special processing, as well as the blessing of runes and formations, so that it could always maintain its original appearance.

After visual inspection, the tower is about 21 feet high, and each floor is about 30 feet.

Unlike the decaying buildings around it, although there are some signs of old age, there is no decay at all.

"--tower"

The square plaque seems to have not been blessed by the formation. The traces of the first two characters have been blurred. Only the last word "Tower" can still be barely made out.

Next to the entrance of this tower, there is a huge puppet hovering, which seems to be a guardian puppet.

Liu Yu looked carefully, his eyes could not help but condense slightly, and he felt strong palpitations in his heart.

This is a snake-shaped puppet. Compared with the tiny human beings, it is only seven or eight feet tall with its hovering body.

If the body is completely stretched out, it is estimated to be at least ten feet.

A body composed of sections, two huge fangs, and a dark blue appearance like a knife or axe.

Even in a deep sleep, the aura exuded by this snake-shaped puppet still made the seven of them feel strongly uneasy as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

There is no doubt that this is a third-level puppet with golden elixir level combat power!

Warning in his heart to act with caution, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at Tang Tianbao to wait for the next sentence.

"Aoki Tower."

Tang Tianbao murmured to himself and told the name of this tower.

After pondering for a few breaths, he seemed to have made a decision, and said softly with a solemn expression:

"The Green Wood Pagoda was built by the last Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Holy Religion. It is a place dedicated to storing elixirs."

"Putting the elixir in it can well preserve its medicinal properties and maintain immortality for five thousand years."

"Ziwen, Uncle Yang, and fellow Daoist Hong, just wait here. I will go in and collect the elixir in person."

Not to mention the formation mechanisms inside the Green Wood Tower, the snake-shaped puppet at the door is just a natural chasm for them, the foundation-building monks.

After years of corrosion, it is still a matter of opinion whether the original control formation can operate.

The dangers involved can be imagined!

"I don't know if the Holy Fire Order will still be effective."

Looking at the tower in the distance, Tang Tianbao's eyes were complicated.

"No."

"The secret formation has been corroded over the years and has not been effectively maintained. Whether the Holy Fire Order is useful or not is still unclear."

"Holy Son, you must never take risks yourself!"

"It's better to leave such dangerous matters to the old man."

"Anyway, I'm already 250 years old, and my deadline is in these few years. It's time to use my remaining energy for the Holy Religion."

Uncle Yang, who had white hair and beard, was thin and looked old, took a step forward and stood up, and spoke firmly.

He looked serious, and his words and actions did not seem to be false.

"Yes, Holy Son."

"You are the hope of the Holy Religion. If something happens to you, what should we do?!"

The three late-stage foundation-building congregants also spoke to dissuade him.

Seeing this touching scene of "fighting to die", Liu Yu felt no emotion in her heart and just stood aside in silence.

He had absolutely no idea of ​​taking risks, so he naturally wouldn't speak at this time.

Even if you want to "show", it's not at this time. If the other party agrees, wouldn't it be a dilemma?

Furthermore, it has been less than a year since Liu Yu joined the Holy Fire Sect and became a guest minister, so he is not qualified in terms of qualifications.

So at this time, it is better to remain silent.

"Tianbao understands your thoughts."

"But this is the responsibility of every Holy Son. I can't choose to escape just because of danger. It is my unshirkable responsibility!"

Facing Uncle Yang and other core members, Tang Tianbao slowly shook his head and nodded, and finally said firmly.

"Son."

Uncle Yang and the four others were very anxious after hearing this and did not give up their persuasion.

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind."

"The Holy Religion is now in a precarious situation, and all kinds of resources are lacking. Everyone understands the situation."

"Tianbao has been fully trained by the Holy Religion since he was a child. Now is the time to fulfill his responsibilities!!"

Tang Tianbao was decisive.

In the face of danger, he did not flinch and firmly fulfilled his responsibilities as the Son of God.

"Holy Son, no"

Several people still refused to give up persuasion.

Judging from the expressions, demeanor, etc., as well as the spiritual induction, Liu Yu judged that these people did not seem to be cheating, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.

A sect always has some monks who are dedicated to serving the public good.

Before the building collapses, there are always a few people who choose to be buried with it.

Faced with the persuasion of several people, Tang Tianbao waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to say more. Then he looked at the "Green Wood Tower" and the giant snake puppet, took out the Holy Fire Token and took a firm step.

No turning back!

He slowly approached the entrance, and at the same time, he struck the Holy Fire Token with his spell and began to activate the token.

Liu Yu, Zhou Ziwen, and Yang Shu stood under the eaves and watched him walking alone.

After a while, he was less than fifteen feet away from the giant snake puppet.

As it entered the sensing range, the giant snake puppet was automatically activated by the power of the formation, and a faint light shone in its pupils that were larger than a lantern.

After almost half a breath, the cold vertical pupils were lit up by the faint light, looking like two green lanterns from a distance.

Under the eaves, Liu Yu's heart tightened when he saw this, and his mind was tense as never before.

As soon as something goes wrong, stay away from here immediately.

A puppet is different from a living being and does not have any intelligence. When the time comes, it will have no reason to reason and will not accept "benefits". It will only follow the final order. It is an emotionless killing machine.

Moreover, the sensing range of the resurrected golden elixir level puppet is not comparable to that of the silent one.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuchuan heard from Zhou Ziwen and others, and quickly retreated to a safe place. The six people quickly retreated to a safe distance.

In sight, the giant snake puppet has fully recovered.

"Click" "Click"

With a sound like grinding teeth, it slowly stood upright without moving, and its seven to eight-foot-long body once again rose to a height of more than ten feet.

It seems that a fatal attack will be launched at the next moment!

Looking from a distance, a fierce aura is approaching, accompanied by a strong sense of crisis.

Even though Liu Yu had retreated to a safe enough distance, the strong sense of crisis had not diminished at all.

"Is this the Golden Core Puppet?"

"If I can harvest one, I will be able to compete with the Golden Core cultivators in the future. At least my own safety will be guaranteed."

Looking at the giant snake puppet, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with greed.

But he still restrained himself. The most important purpose of his coming here was for the "Three Yuan Fruits".

Any other magic weapon, spiritual object or resource must give way to the spiritual fruit.

"After the Three Yuan Fruit, maybe we can make some plans. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term."

Liu Yu crossed her arms across her chest and narrowed her eyes slightly as she thought about this.

On the other side, facing the resurrected giant snake puppet, one can imagine the pressure Tang Tianbao was facing, and cold sweat broke out on his temples.

A spiritual light flashed in the dark green vertical pupils. The giant snake puppet did not move immediately, as if it was identifying whether it was an "intruder".

Tang Tianbao's heart trembled, and the speed of the magic spell in his hand became faster and faster. Under the crisis, his potential exploded, and his fingers were almost only afterimages.

Just when the giant snake puppet was about to attack, the Holy Fire Order finally reacted, and a red beam flew out.

Under the eaves, the six people also held their breath at this moment.

Zhou Ziwen, Uncle Yang and others even frowned, as if they felt the same thing, clenching their fists and looking a little nervous.

Facing the red light, the giant snake puppet did not dodge or dodge, allowing it to sink within three inches.

Then, under the gaze of seven pairs of eyes, it slowly lay down again and resumed its original posture.

The light of the lantern-like green vertical pupils gradually faded away.

"Successful."

Beside him, Uncle Yang was overjoyed to see this and whispered.

Including Liu Yu, several people were relieved when they saw this scene. The formation was not completely damaged after all.

"Alas~!"

"If there had not been any Yuanying monks born in the door, this secret realm would not be like this. Even basic maintenance cannot be done."

"The ancestors of the Holy Cult worked hard when building it. As long as a Nascent Soul monk is born, he can take over the place immediately."

"With the secret realm as the foundation, we may not be able to wait for the opportunity to overthrow the god Samana and restore the glory of the past."

"It is only the incompetence of the younger generation of disciples that has led to this situation. It is all thanks to the legacy of our ancestors that we can maintain the inheritance."

Uncle Yang sighed softly and expressed his feelings.

Hearing this, several people felt uncomfortable in their hearts and looked at Tang Tianbao's back silently without saying a word.

Liu Yu glanced around with his consciousness, but silently watched Tang Tianbao's movements as he walked towards the entrance and entered the tower.

Although due to the fourth-level formation, the spiritual consciousness is suppressed and can only spread in a straight line up to six miles in one direction with itself as the center.

But no matter what, his own safety is the most important, and he should always pay attention to the surrounding situation as much as possible.

Because of the "wonderful method of preserving the gods", Liu Yu Yuanshen's strength was far beyond that of ordinary monks.

Even if the consciousness is fully activated, as long as the secret technique of the consciousness is not used, it is not a problem to maintain it for a day or two.

If you insist on it, you can barely do it in three days.
