The more he walked in, the denser the spiritual qi in the air became.
In less than a moment, Gong Ziliang’s clothes were already wet by the spiritual qi in the spiritual fog.
His pores opened involuntarily as he greedily absorbed the spiritual qi.
However, after the spiritual qi circulated in Gong Ziliang’s meridians, it flowed out of his pores.
Regarding this situation, Gong Ziliang had no choice but to ignore it and continue walking into the depths of the stone room.
15 minutes.
Half an hour.
45 minutes.
After walking for almost two hours, Gong Ziliang still did not reach the end of the stone room.
Around him, spiritual qi had already turned into a spiritual tide that washed his entire body.
Although it could not increase his realm, it was continuously nourishing his body.
After stopping for a moment, Gong Ziliang was about to continue walking.
“Cough!”
A cough suddenly sounded in his ears.
In an instant, Gong Ziliang summoned the Demon Dao Divine Slayer Spear and stabbed in the direction of the voice.
The spear tip carried a might that pierced through everything, bringing a sharp cry in the air.
However, before the power of the Demon Dao Divine Slayer Spear was exhausted, Gong Ziliang knew that this spear had missed.
As expected, the spear tip emitted a cold light, and the spiritual tide was split open for an unknown distance.
However, under the light of the spirit crystal jade essence under his feet, Gong Ziliang did not even see a ghost.
It even made him wonder if he was hallucinating when he heard the cough just now.
“Eh?”
Just as Gong Ziliang fell into self-doubt, a voice sounded in his ears again, causing his hair to instantly stand on end.
A chill surged from his feet to the top of his head, wanting to break free.
If the cough just now was his imagination,
from the voice behind that carried obvious doubt. Gong Ziliang could not have heard wrong!
“It’s haunted?!”
A thought appeared in his mind and was quickly crushed by him.
This stone room was a mystic realm opened by a peak Nirvana Realm mighty figure.
Those ghosts without bodies could not withstand the power inside at all.
Then…
Gong Ziliang’s eyes flickered as he thought of another possibility. He immediately held the spear and cupped his fists, “Senior, are you the owner of this place?”
A Nirvana Realm mighty figure was already the limit of this world.
Under the Heavenly Dao, he was invincible.
He could shatter the void and ascend to the Upper World.
He could live a second life if he wanted.
Even if such an existence could not really compete with the world, it was not difficult to live past the length of an ancient history.
Of course, after his cultivation reached this level, every action would trigger the Heavenly Dao and cause unknown consequences.
Coupled with the daily cultivation consumption of the Nirvana Realm, it was too terrifying.
Therefore, once a cultivator advanced to this realm, most of them would choose to enter the mystic realm to sleep.
A thousand years was normal.
According to Xing Feng, the owner of this stone room had already reached the peak of the Nirvana Realm.
If he had been in a deep sleep previously, it was not impossible for him to not be discovered by Xing Feng.
When he thought of this, Gong Ziliang’s heart became even more uneasy.
Especially after his shout spread for a long time, there was still no response.
The surrounding silence gradually made him unable to calm down.
“We accidentally entered this mystic realm and disturbed Senior’s sleep. We’ll leave now!”
Out of the 36 strategies, leaving was the best choice.
As soon as Gong Ziliang finished speaking, he circulated his spiritual qi and was about to run away.
However, before he could take a step forward, the spiritual tide in all directions suddenly seemed to have been stirred, turning into a spiritual qi river that blocked his path.
“Heh, you woke me up. You want to leave just like that?”
Immediately, an old voice sounded in his ears.
“Damn! There’s really an old antique here!”
Gong Ziliang was a little stunned.
Nirvana Realm mighty figures were not cabbages on the streets.
In the history of the Five Great Empires, there were probably not many.
However, in a small Monet Dynasty, he actually encountered one.
What was even more troublesome was that he had gone to the mystic realm where one of them was sleeping and woke him up.
For a moment, Gong Ziliang did not know if he was lucky or not.
“I’m not an old antique. At the very least, I’m younger than the owner of the Demon Dao Divine Slayer Spear in your hand.”
Hearing the voice in his ears, Gong Ziliang’s heart tightened.
He understood that the other party should have methods like his Mind Reading that could see through his inner thoughts.
In the next moment, when he heard the other party mention the Demon Dao Divine Slayer Spear, he recalled that the Demon Patriarch had been active for thousands of years. He was immediately a little shocked.
This was an old… senior who had lived for thousands of years!
Gong Ziliang stopped himself in time. Then, his eyes darted around as he said, “Senior, don’t misunderstand. I also obtained this Demon Dao Divine Slayer Spear from someone else.”
“That Demon Patriarch has nothing to do with me.”
When Gong Ziliang was fighting the Heavenly Dao, he had already understood the life of the Demon Patriarch from the memories given by the artifact spirit.
However, just because he understood it did not mean that others knew. Otherwise, he would not have passed down the name “Demon Patriarch”.
Therefore, to be safe, Gong Ziliang chose to cut ties first.
Splash! Splash!
As Gong Ziliang spoke, the spiritual qi river in front of him suddenly surged.
In the blink of an eye, the surging river water formed by the spiritual tide condensed into a three-foot-tall figure.
The figure was dressed like a Daoist with a bun behind his head. On his white hair and youthful face, what attracted Gong Ziliang’s attention the most was his high forehead.
If not for the fact that he was too short, he would have looked like an extraordinary immortal.
“Alright, kid. You can hide it from others, but can you hide it from me, Patriarch Liu Yun?”
“This Demon Dao Divine Slayer Spear has already acknowledged you as its master, and you still say that you have nothing to do with the Demon Patriarch?”
The Daoist who called himself Patriarch Liu Yun’s eyes flickered with a mischievous light as he easily exposed Gong Ziliang’s lie.
After quickly searching in his mind, Gong Ziliang did not recall hearing of the name “Patriarch Liu Yun”.
However, this was not surprising. After all, the Azure Province he was in was more than a billion miles away from the Martial Province.
Moreover, this Patriarch Liu Yun was a person from thousands of years ago. It was normal that he had not heard of him.
“Senior, you have sharp eyes. I can’t hide anything from you. I’m very impressed!”
Regarding the lie being exposed, Gong Ziliang directly admitted it.
His frank attitude made Patriarch Liu Yun look at him with a slight difference.
Then, he looked at the Demon Dao Divine Slayer Spear in Gong Ziliang’s hand. A trace of sadness suddenly surged in his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
Seeing this, Gong Ziliang could not help but say, “Senior, could it be that you’re old friends with the Demon Patriarch?”
When he heard this, Patriarch Liu Yun shook his head and retracted his gaze from the Demon Dao Divine Slayer Spear. He shook his head and said, “When I stepped onto the cultivation path, the Demon Patriarch had already died for almost a hundred years.”
