Chapter 18: Monster statue

Ziyun Cave, located in the deepest part of the Xiao family mansion, is home to strong family members all year round, and outsiders do not want to enter.

Even the children of the Xiao family can't get close on weekdays.

When there was still some distance from Ziyun Cave, all the clansmen, and even the elders and deacons stopped, and only the children who got the training quota could continue to move forward.

Ten people, including Xiao Yi, Xiao Ruohan, Xiao Zimu, and Xiao Zhuang, walked step by step under the hopeful and hopeful eyes of the tribe.

They represent the most outstanding children of the younger generation of the Xiao family; they will be the warriors who will carry the beams of the Xiao family in the future.

All clansmen secretly blessed, hoping that they can gain something in Ziyun Cave.

Except for one person, the five elders.

The venomous gaze that was extremely concealed was staring at Xiao Yi's back.

"Small waste, so what makes you proud! As long as my plan is not disrupted, when my son Ruohan comes out of Ziyun Cave, he will completely erase you from the Xiao family."

The five elders had a vicious plan long ago.

On the other side, Xiao Ruohan, who was advancing with Xiao Yi and other children, also squinted at Xiao Yi, secretly proud, "Huh, how about making you a blockbuster today. I have stepped into the Seventh Layer of the Ordinary Realm for a long time and will be able to break through the Ordinary. At the eighth layer of the realm, I have cultivated in Ziyun Cave for ten days, and I have a good chance to break through to the acquired realm. Then, your death period will come."

Ziyun Cave is opened once every three years, and every time, the children of the family who go to practice will greatly increase their cultivation base, and it is not impossible to jump a few times.

Xiao Yi keenly caught Xiao Ruohan's eyes, and even felt the piercing gaze behind him, but he didn't care and smiled indifferently.

"This insidious father and son are thinking of a bad idea." Xiao Yi secretly said.

If it was Xiao Yi before, they would definitely have taken care of it a long time ago. But now Xiao Yi, they only regard them as a clown.

"Huh?" Xiao Yi suddenly paused, his eyes fixed in the distance.

There, there is a huge statue, all red and lifelike.

Just looking at the appearance, it seemed to be an unknown monster, some resembling a lion, but it was even bigger, with a terrifying horn on its head and long wings on its back.

No one in the entire Xiao family knew the name of this monster statue. All I know is that this was placed here by the ancestors of the Xiao family a hundred years ago.

It has existed since the Xiao family established a clan in Ziyun City.

Every child of the Xiao family would come here to observe it before awakening the martial soul.

The awakened martial soul of the martial artist comes from everything in this world.

When a warrior is young, he usually observes various things, engraving his eyes on his heart, and telling his heart to God. The more the martial artist feels about such objects, the deeper his impression, the more he can awaken this martial soul.

For example, if you go to observe a piece of grass all year round, you will awaken the grass martial spirit.

Observing a sword all the year round, he awakened the sword spirit.

Naturally, many big families, or sects, sects, etc., will prepare a relatively powerful item for their young children to observe all the year round.

The same goes for the Xiao family. It is said that the most precious thing in the Xiao family is this statue.

However, the more powerful and advanced things, the harder it is to awaken.

For example, a peerless divine sword, a poorly talented one will probably only awaken a sharper sword; even worse, will awaken the most common iron sword.

Of course, there will also be people with extremely high talents, awakening more powerful sword martial arts souls.

The same goes for the Xiao family. No one has ever awakened the spirit of this monster statue.

And obviously, the monster beast of this statue is a monster with fire attributes.

Therefore, the awakened spirits of almost everyone in the Xiao family are related to fire attributes.

Xiao Ruohan's Fire Cloud Python, Xiao Shi's Fire Wolf, Xiao Xingyang's Wild Fire Bull and so on.

However, Xiao Yi had extremely low qualifications, and he awakened the most garbage fire-controlling beast.

Xiao Yi curled his lips and said secretly, "If I had crossed here a few years earlier, I might be able to awaken the spirit of the monster beast portrayed by this statue. I really want to see what this monster beast is and how much it is. powerful."

Just when he had this idea, his body suddenly shook, and an unprecedented sense of crisis emerged spontaneously.

He seemed to be stared at by a peerless beast, his whole body numb, unable to move.

He seemed to have seen the eye-catching eyes of that monster statue like a bronze bell, staring at him tightly, intending to swallow his mind.

He felt powerless and panicked; he found that under this feeling, naturally there was no resistance.

Suddenly, there was another restlessness in his body, and the Bingluan sword martial soul radiated sharply, and a sharp and indestructible aura enveloped his body.

After Bingluanjian's breath appeared, the sense of crisis subsided instantly and his body returned to normal.

"What's the matter, illusion?" Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and found that the clothes on his back had been wet with sweat.

Before Xiao Yi had time to think through the problem, he was interrupted by a rough voice.

"Xiao Yi, what are you doing in a daze, keep up."

"Uh, oh, okay." Xiao Yi was taken aback, and quickly followed.

It was Xiao Zhuang who called him just now.

"Xiao Yi, thank you for what happened a few days ago." Xiao Zhuang walked to Xiao Yi and whispered.

"It's nothing, don't thank you." Xiao Yi shrugged.

Xiao Yi only learned not long ago that the young child who was bullied by Xiao Jie and Xiao Shi that day turned out to be Xiao Zhuang's younger brother.

Xiao Zhuang, as his name suggests, is burly and tall, and looks like a cow. He shook his head and said, "It's not a trivial matter. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely repay your favor."

"It's up to you." Xiao Yi replied lightly.

After a few minutes, everyone finally came to Ziyun Cave, and at this time, the second elder had already been here waiting for everyone.

The so-called Ziyun Cave is actually nothing more than a monster statue as the center, and then an area with a radius of several hundred meters.

Generally young children of the family can only be a kilometer away even if they are observing.

Only when the Ziyun Cave is opened once every three years, the children with quota can get close to these hundreds of meters.

"All the children listen to the order and take one step forward." Without any nonsense, the second elder directly drank with majesty.

Ten children step forward at the same time.

When this step was taken, Xiao Yi immediately showed a look of surprise.

Because the atmosphere around him has completely changed. Obviously, I can feel that the aura around him is so strong to a terrifying point.

The aura around him was more than ten times stronger than outside. You don't even have to take the initiative to absorb it yourself, the surrounding aura has poured into the body automatically.

"Sure enough, it is an excellent place for cultivation." Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Moreover, this is the purest heaven and earth aura, without any impurities, and without any worries, it is much better than swallowing a pill.

Xiao Yi turned and looked at the back, and the second elder stood one step behind them.

Obviously it is only a step away, and the surrounding environment has changed so much.

Xiao Yi guessed that there must be a powerful force here, blocking the rich aura within a few hundred meters, so that these auras will not leak out, even if it is leaking a step.

At this time, the second elder who was one step away solemnly instructed, "Listen well, the statue of the Xiao family has extremely strong pressure. The closer you get, the greater the pressure. Within fifty steps, you will bear the most Limits. Beyond fifty steps, even the acquired realm is unbearable."

"Remember, no one can take more than fifty steps, otherwise, life will be in danger."

"Follow the instructions of the second elder." The ten children replied respectfully.

The second elder nodded, and after serious instructions, he took a few steps back, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice.

It's really a martial idiot, and won't waste any time in practice.

Everyone began to move forward. The closer they were to the statue, the greater the coercion, but the greater the spiritual energy contained, and naturally, the faster they practiced.

Of course, as long as the distance is less than fifty steps, there is no danger.

According to the regulations, Xiao Yi walked to the forefront, and stopped at exactly fifty steps.

After five steps, it was Xiao Ruohan.

After that, it is decided according to the ranking of the family competition.

In the range of fifty steps, the ten people started to practice according to five steps for each person.

The distance of five steps just happens that the cultivation of each other will not affect each other, nor will it take away the spiritual energy beside others and affect the cultivation of others.

Xiao Ruohan looked at Xiao Yi's back in front of him, gritted his teeth with hatred, Xiao Yi's position was the position with the strongest spiritual energy and the fastest cultivation, he was naturally jealous.

Xiao Yi naturally felt his gaze, but was too lazy to catch him. The most important thing now is to cultivate quickly and strengthen cultivation.

Under the absorption of the dual martial spirits in the body, the surrounding aura surged over the sky. Especially the horrible absorption speed of Bingluan Sword, Xiao Yi immediately felt that his cultivation base was increasing at an appalling speed.
