This secret realm is quite extraordinary.
Fang Qing stared at a wall in front of him, secretly examining the patterns on it.
Beside her, Zhan Hongxiu was casting a spell to pick a thousand-year-old Phoenix Cry Grass. This grass was shaped like a rooster's comb, with a spiritual pattern appearing on the surface of its leaves, making it quite extraordinary in appearance.
"Fellow Daoist?"
Zhan Hongxiu carefully put away the Phoenix Cry Grass and looked at Fang Qing, only to see Fang Qing examining a broken wall. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this—"
"This wall is extraordinary; it was probably forged using materials such as Heavenly Silver and Wind-Reversed Gold."
Fang Qing sighed: "These materials are now sufficient to be the main material for a Core Formation cultivator's natal magic weapon—yet the master of that time only used them to make walls and furniture—it's truly unimaginable how extravagant they were."
"The owner of this place must be a very important figure from the Zhou Tian Star Palace."
Zhan Hongxiu spoke slowly.
As for more, the old turtle didn't tell her, only that she should come back after she had formed her core, when she would have a great opportunity.
"I see."
Fang Qing nodded slightly, and the two continued forward, where they came to see a black river!
Splash!
The river flowed quietly, carrying an air of mystery.
"This is----"
Zhan Hongxiu clearly sensed something ominous and raised her hand, releasing a stream of light.
Splash!
The light arrived above the Black River, and immediately the radiance dissipated, revealing a top-grade spiritual artifact.
The magical artifact, having lost much of its spiritual power, fell into the dark river and gurgled silently.
"No-fly zone?"
Zhan Hongxiu was slightly surprised.
"I'm afraid it's more than that—"
Fang Qing arrived at the riverbank, gazing at the dark water: "If my intuition is correct, this water should be the famous Three Thousand Weak Waters!"
Is it the Weak Water, which is said to be so shallow that even a feather cannot float on it?
Zhan Hongxiu pondered for a moment: "This water is not a barrier, so it's difficult to break. Therefore—we'll have to swim across?"
"I'm afraid this is the real purpose behind setting up these three thousand Weak Water people—if I were that person, I would definitely ambush dangers in the Weak Water and wipe out all the challengers in one fell swoop."
Fang Qing said in a serious tone: "For example—releasing some monsters that live in the Weak Water."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Hongxiu was immediately startled, as she had just been thinking of releasing the Longevity Turtle.
"Give it a try."
Fang Qing raised his hand, and puppets appeared one after another. They came to the Weak Water River, but they could not float at all and sank to the bottom of the river.
Then, in the dark river water, it seemed as if snakes and dragons were rolling around, and countless bubbles appeared.
"There are indeed demonic beasts—and they are not ordinary demonic beasts."
Fang Qing smiled and said, "It's probably a high-grade third-tier item."
"Even if we join forces, we might not be able to defeat such a monstrous beast that has the advantage of terrain in the Three Thousand Weak Waters, would we?"
Zhan Hongxiu was taken aback, and inwardly groaned: When Elder Turtle said I could come to this secret realm after I formed my core, he probably meant with his help. Given his experience, he likely knew the layout of this secret realm inside and out.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing. Let's prepare for a magical duel."
Fang Qing's aura subtly shifted, and with a wave of his hand, several magical treasures appeared around him.
He held the Mystic Spring Bottle, its mouth facing down, from which a mysterious aura emanated.
The surging weak water seemed to encounter a waterspout, and was continuously absorbed by the "Wonderful Spring Pure Bottle".
"All things in heaven and earth are mutually generating and mutually restraining—fellow Daoist happens to possess a magical artifact that can counteract the Weak Water?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Zhan Hongxiu's face, and she felt even more that inviting Fang Qing here was the right decision.
She quickly patted her spirit beast pouch, releasing the Longevity Turtle. She also took out the temporarily refined magical treasures, such as the Jingfeng Pearl, the White Jade Sword, and the Turtle Shield, ready to fight at any moment: "I wonder if these magical treasures can defeat the Weak Water—"
But the next moment, her eyes widened as she sensed something: "This is—the Weak Water Vein has been activated?"
"Although the Wonderful Spring Pure Bottle is mysterious enough, it is still a step short when dealing with the Three Thousand Weak Waters—fortunately, I have never lacked water-related treasures."
Fang Qing smiled slightly, then raised his hand again and released the "Sea-Swallowing Bottle".
This bottle is said to be able to swallow the sea, so why should it fear the mere three thousand weak waters?
Splash!
The vast amount of black, weak water dissipated, revealing a dried-up riverbed, where fragments of puppets were faintly visible, most of them decayed, as if they had endured a long period of time.
Although the black water continued to rush in from all sides, it couldn't withstand the suction force of the two treasures, creating a vacuum zone C.
"roar!"
Countless pebbles mixed with silt shot into the sky, accompanied by a dragon's roar, allowing Fang Qing and Zhan Hongxiu to finally see the demonic beast hiding in the Three Thousand Weak Waters.
Its body resembles a snake, its tail a carp, it has four claws on its belly, and a single horn on its head. Its entire body is covered in dark green scales, and it even has three eyes. It is clearly a three-eyed monster dragon!
Boom!
The unique demonic aura belonging to the third-tier superior grade suddenly burst forth.
"It's a mutated dragon! And a high-grade, third-tier one at that!"
Zhan Hongxiu gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly: That old turtle is truly a killer!
A third-tier high-grade demonic beast is equivalent to a great cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation!
These cultivators can almost completely overwhelm those in the early or middle stages of Core Formation, and can even easily kill those in the early stages of Core Formation!
It is precisely because of such strength that he is respected as a great cultivator by his peers!
Moreover, dragon-type demonic beasts are inherently much stronger than ordinary demonic beasts.
"A top-grade, tier-three mutated dragon?"
Fang Qing looked at the third eye between the dragon's eyebrows with a slightly strange expression: "Fellow Daoist Zhan—it's time to go all out."
A flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a jade ring of emerald green, which was none other than the Purple Mansion Magic Treasure—the Water Dividing Ring!
Splash!
The azure light of the Ji River fell, instantly cutting off the once vast and dark river!
The wonder of the water-dividing technique is truly amazing!
This mutated dragon, lurking in the Weak Water, undoubtedly possesses a significant geographical advantage—the first priority in eliminating it is to isolate it from the Weak Water.
Fang Qing held the "Water Dividing Ring" in his hand, his expression cold.
This Purple Mansion magic treasure was enveloped in a beam of emerald light and suddenly collided with the three-eyed evil dragon.
hoohoo!
The dragon extended its sharp claws, and a stream of pitch-black water appeared—it was the Three Thousand Weak Waters!
No wonder this mutated dragon can survive in the Weak Water; its innate supernatural power is related to the Weak Water.
Fang Qing's heart skipped a beat, then he sneered: "Unfortunately, my 'Water Dividing Ring' is a Purple Mansion magic treasure, not a Core Formation magic treasure!"
Boom!
Above the "Water Dividing Ring," the light of the "Ji Water" emerged, suddenly separating the black water. Instead of sinking, it became even larger and smashed onto the top of the dragon's head.
"Roar!"
The dragon roared, and several palm-sized pieces of dark green scales mixed with specks of dragon blood fell down.
Rumble!
In an instant, more water mines appeared, surrounding the three-eyed evil dragon. Interspersed among them was a wind spirit that continuously unleashed pale blue wind blades.
It was Zhan Hongxiu who made the move!
The woman stood on the back of the Longevity Turtle, holding the "Jingfeng Pearl" in her right hand and secretly clutching something in her left. Looking at the powerful "Water Dividing Ring," her expression shifted: "A rare treasure? Such powerful energy, probably no less than those Nascent Soul magic treasures—Fellow Daoist Bai is indeed extraordinary, possessing such a precious treasure to protect him."
Clang!
With a light tap of his sword, Fang Qing merged with the sword, transforming it into a dazzling sword light, like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
The immense power of the third-order body refinement erupted without hesitation, and at the head of the white rainbow, a layer of inexplicable flames burned.
When a swordsman strikes, the enemy is killed in an instant!
With a flick of his sword tip, it landed on the dragon's jaw, on one of its reverse scales!
The power of the Unfathomable Illumination erupted instantly!
The dragon howled in agony, and the scale fell off with it. Its aura plummeted instantly, and it had been severely injured by a sword strike!
"Make your move!"
Having landed a successful strike, Fang Qing did not press his advantage but instead retreated rapidly, shouting fiercely at the same time.
He was skilled in divination and, on a whim, realized that this three-eyed evil dragon was not simple and likely possessed some hidden trump card.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, don't worry, I'm here to help you!"
Zhan Hongxiu cast a spell, and the Jingfeng Pearl moved slightly. The wind spirit transformed into a whirlwind, enveloping the three-headed evil dragon.
And the object she was secretly holding in her left hand flew out amidst countless water mines—it was the Myriad Transformation Thunder Pearl!
This bead is her trump card; once it explodes, its power will be comparable to a full-force attack from a late-stage Core Formation cultivator!
Stab it!
The wind spirit was torn apart by the evil dragon's two claws, and then water mines exploded all over its body.
Boom!
Amidst the countless glittering water mines, another strange burst of lightning erupted—the Myriad Transformations Divine Lightning!
"It's done!"
Her red sleeves fluttered in the breeze, and she felt a surge of joy.
This dragon has already been severely injured by Fellow Daoist Bai. If it eats another Myriad Transformation Thunder Pearl, it will definitely not survive!
"Be careful!"
But in an instant, she heard a sharp shout.
"What?"
Zhan Hongxiu heard the roar of the longevity tortoise beneath her again.
Splash!
In the light and dust after the thunderstorm, a colossal creature broke through numerous obstacles and arrived before the Longevity Turtle!
The Longevity Turtle shrank its neck in fright, then remembered that its master was still on its back, so it forced itself to condense a blue demonic shield, shaped like a tortoise shell, and stood in front of Zhan Hongxiu.
What appeared before Zhan Hongxiu was the three-eyed evil dragon, but it looked extremely miserable.
The once majestic dark green scales were mostly broken, a small part of its body had disappeared, and the remaining dragon claw had two broken toes.
Only the head remained relatively intact.
At this moment, the dragon was staring fiercely at Zhan Hongxiu with its third eye between its eyebrows.
"This is... a mental attack? Oh no!"
Zhan Hongxiu had a bad feeling in her heart, and then she felt dizzy.
Not only her, but the Longevity Turtle also let out a mournful cry and collapsed.
The three-eyed evil dragon opened its blood-red maw, about to swallow Zhan Hongxiu whole.
call out!
Just then, a flash of sword light appeared.
The dragon's head, still bearing a hint of confusion, then fell off, its massive head gushing blood.
"This is top-grade third-tier dragon blood, it's extremely precious."
Fang Qing quickly took out the Wonderful Spring Purification Bottle and caught the dragon blood.
This dragon monster is a treasure from head to toe—its tendons, scales, bones, and even its dragon pearl!
Hmm, after consuming this dragon's essence pill, fighting ordinary third-tier dragons shouldn't be so difficult.
Fang Qing arrived atop the dragon's head and cast a spell.
The third eye, located between the dragon's eyebrows, actually fell off.
Only then could it be discovered that this was not some flesh and blood eyeball, but a magical artifact! It had been picked up by the dragon and refined into its body as its last trump card.
Its shape and specifications gave Fang Qing a strange sense of familiarity, and the transformed power of the "Swallowing the Sea Technique" was even more eager to be unleashed.
"The Abyss Eye Pearl?"
The third eye of this dragon was actually a magical artifact called the "Abyss Eye Pearl"!
It seemed to possess extremely high inherent value, reaching the fourth rank, but after its fall, it is now only around the middle grade of the third rank.
Zhan Hongxiu was lucky; if she had encountered a fourth-tier Abyss Eye Pearl, she would likely have been killed instantly, her soul annihilated.
Fang Qing looked at Zhan Hongxiu, whose condition was extremely poor, with two streaks of bloody tears streaming down her face.
The longevity tortoise had already fainted.
If it weren't for her natal spirit pet absorbing most of the attacks, Zhan Hongxiu would likely have met the same fate—
