Chapter 200 Ksitigarbha Land
Across the millions of miles of Qinling Mountains, an ancient dragon lurks within, containing endless vitality.

After Li Zhi and his four companions traveled more than 100,000 miles through the ancient Qinling Mountains, they finally stopped by a fairy lake full of vitality.

The Fairy Lake is surrounded by towering mountains, ancient woods and wolf forests, filled with the atmosphere of the primitive wilderness. There are also ferocious beasts and birds roaring in the forest, which adds a bit of wildness.

Looking at the fairy lake in front of him, Li Zhi felt quite strange. The lake was full of spiritual energy, but there were not many living creatures.

Even with Li Zhi's divine sense, he did not find any monster in the lake.

Although there are some fish and shrimps in the water, there are almost no intelligent creatures. There are also few aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake. It seems that the spiritual energy here is not good for health.

Li Zhi quietly opened his third eye and found the reason.

In addition to the rich vitality contained in the lake water, there is also a hidden air of death.

If he hadn't used his divine eyes to observe, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect the existence of that deathly aura.

Just as Li Zhi was looking for the source of the death energy, You Zilong came to Duan De and lowered his posture to ask for advice: "Master Duan, you seem to be proficient in burial studies. I wonder if you can find the specific location of the burial area at the bottom of the lake from this fairy lake?"

Duan De looked at You Zilong who seemed to be testing him, and a smile appeared on his chubby face. He said, "There is no need for me to help you find a water burial site. Li Zhi can lead everyone to find a water burial site at the bottom of the lake."

Hearing Duan De calling out his name, Li Zhi was speechless. The other party wanted to test Duan De's strength, but Duan Dela used him as a shield.

Aotian also stared at Li Zhi with bright eyes, as if he wanted to hear his opinion.

You Zilong turned to Li Zhi with a happy look on his face and said, "Master Li, it turns out that you are also proficient in Feng Shui and burial techniques."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I can't say I'm proficient in it. I only know a little bit."

You Zilong said enthusiastically, "Master Li, you are too modest. Although Zilong is skilled in the art of finding dragons, he is somewhat helpless in this place with little dragon energy. I hope you will not hide your incompetence. According to what Brother Ao and I have found out, this fairy lake should lead to an ancient underground burial area. To be honest, behind the ancient underground burial area there is a small world of Ksitigarbha, which is very important to us dragon hunters. It is very likely that the supreme book of the earth master lineage, the Book of the Earth, is hidden inside. If you are willing to help open the small world of Ksitigarbha, I am willing to copy a copy of the contents of the Book of the Earth and send it to you."

Duan De saw this and walked over to Li Zhi with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master Li, Master You has said so much, what are you still hesitating about?"

Li Zhi looked at Duan De's harmless expression and had no idea what he was thinking at the moment. However, what was certain was that Duan De must have been prepared to take action. Once You Zilong and Aotian made any unusual movements, he would give them a thunderous blow, or even wipe them out without hesitation.

"Then I will show you my humility." After saying that, Li Zhi took out a shuttle-shaped magic weapon. After the magic weapon became bigger, he got into it and then directly controlled the magic weapon and plunged into the fairy lake.

Ao Tian's expression changed slightly when he looked at the shuttle-shaped magic weapon, and he transmitted a message to You Zilong: "The magic weapon just now is the secret treasure of the Earth God Cult, the Earth-Splitting Shuttle."

"That kind of secret treasure that the Earth God Cult never sells or even lends to outsiders? How could he possess this kind of secret treasure? Is he a disciple of the Earth God Cult?" You Zilong asked curiously.

The Earth God Sect is a sect that ranks low among the various schools of thought in Zhongzhou. However, the earth-walking magic inherited in the sect is a very troublesome magical power. In addition, the sect also has a secret method of refining the magic weapon, the Earth-Splitting Shuttle, which allows the cultivator who controls the Earth-Splitting Shuttle to travel in the mud as freely as if he were traveling in water.

Even the Earth-Splitting Shuttle, which is at the level of a kingly divine weapon, can allow cultivators to travel freely through rocks without being affected by the pressure of the rocks.

"He should not be a disciple of the Earth God Sect. The disciples of the Earth God Sect all practice earth-attributed skills and have a special earthy smell on their bodies. I don't see any aura similar to the Earth God Sect's skills on this Taoist Li. I guess this Earth-Splitting Shuttle must have been snatched by him from the core disciples of the Earth God Sect." Aotian guessed.

"It is said that the Earth God Cult's Earth-Purging Shuttle is equipped with a self-destruct device, and it cannot be controlled without the Earth God Cult's special methods. How did he do it?" You Zilong said.

"It seems that the methods of this Taoist Priest Li are no worse than those of Taoist Priest Duan. But I didn't sense from him the special yin energy that comes from walking in the underground ancient tombs for so many years. He should not be a tomb robber." Aotian said.

Soon, the calm lake surface began to roll violently.

"boom!"

The lake water even exploded, forming one water column after another that shot up into the sky.

"Everyone, hurry up, a group of old antiques are about to rush out."

At this moment, Li Zhi's voice also came from underwater.

Then Li Zhi, who was driving the Earth-Splitting Shuttle, rushed out of the lake.

After landing on the shore, Li Zhi said, "Get ready to kill the enemy. In the burial ground at the bottom of the lake, there is a group of ancient corpses that have been transformed into puppet ghost soldiers. They are about to rush out."

After saying that, Li Zhi retreated behind the crowd.

When You Zilong and Aotian saw this, they were surprised and suspicious. They had been deep into the burial area at the bottom of the lake several times before, but they had never found that the ancient corpses inside would take the initiative to attack.

A moment later, dozens of puppet soldiers, dressed in tattered clothes but covered with a thick layer of black ice, rushed ashore.

Aotian took the lead and summoned a snow-white fairy sword.

Then, he swung out a series of powerful sword energies, which directly chopped the ancient corpses of the evil spirits into pieces.

"What a powerful sword energy. It's enough to threaten a powerful person in the middle stage of the second level of immortality." Duan De commented on the side.

When You Zilong saw the ancient corpses being slain by Ao Tian with one sword, he came to Li Zhi and asked, "Master Li, have you opened the burial area at the bottom of the lake?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "There are ancient corpses everywhere. I just opened the first layer of the burial ground and encountered ancient corpses blocking the way. My fighting ability is limited, so I can only retreat helplessly. But I can sense that there are at least six layers of ancient burial areas stacked at the bottom of the lake. Master You, is the Ksitigarbha land you want to open just after the sixth layer of ancient burial areas?"

You Zilong showed a hint of surprise and said, "The Taoist priest is truly a god. My brother Ao and I have come here several times to search for it but have not been able to find a way to open the Ksitigarbha Land. I did not expect that the Taoist priest could lock its location with just one move. I admire you."

Afterwards, everyone jumped into the lake together and came to the burial area at the bottom of the lake that was opened by Li Zhi.

Ancient coffins have been washed out of the mud at the bottom of the lake and are scattered everywhere.

But what fascinated them even more was a bottomless hole at the bottom of the lake.

Li Zhi explained to the others: "This cave was blasted out by me using a magic weapon. However, the energy inside the cave is too strong, so I dare not enter it alone."

Aotian stepped forward and said, "Then let me lead the way for everyone."

Afterwards, he summoned a small white jade sword that emitted a strong sacred light, and protected everyone as they entered the tunnel at the bottom of the lake that Li Zhi had blasted out.

Duan De looked at the environment around the big hole and asked curiously, "Little Li Zhi, how did you find this road? It's simply the best hole for stealing. Did you intentionally lead the ancient corpse out just now?"

Li Zhi said: "It is because of the strong skills taught by the Taoist priest that I was able to open this tunnel. As for those ancient corpses, they were just tools to test their abilities. I sense that there is really a big thing buried underground."

"Silver-winged Yaksha. Such a weird thing actually appeared here."

Aotian, who was leading the way, saw two creatures wearing silver scales and having a pair of flesh-winged creatures covered with silver scales on their backs. He felt extremely troubled.

However, the two Yakshas didn't block them for long before they were killed by Ao Tian. After killing the Yakshas, ​​there was no road ahead, and it seemed that they needed to continue to open up the road. You Zilong said to Li Zhi: "Master, can you use the Earth-opening Shuttle to help us get through?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

Afterwards, Li Zhi summoned the Earth-Splitting Shuttle, put everyone into the shuttle, and then plunged into the mud.

After moving forward in the mud for a short while, it seemed as if we had drilled out of the mud.

After coming out, everyone actually found themselves in an underground cave.

"Whoa!"

As soon as they came out of the Earth-Opening Shuttle, they heard a roar like that of a wild beast.

"Oh no, this is the roar of the Black Golden Ape. How could there be such a monster here?" Duan De's face changed slightly and he reminded.

"It must have sensed the breath of life emanating from us and alarmed it. Let's work together to kill it. We must not let it awaken the ancient corpse it is guarding." You Zilong shouted hurriedly.

Then, everyone took out their magic weapons and rushed towards the direction where the roar came from.

After the attack, Li Zhi and Duan De looked at each other, and saw a trace of contempt in each other's eyes, as if saying: "You are actually lazy."

In the next battle with the Black Golden Ape, Aotian will still be the main force.

The black ape was so powerful that he was comparable to a mid-level immortal. Aotian managed to fight it to a draw.

However, with the help of Li Zhi and the other three, the Black Golden Ape was finally killed by Aotian's sword.

But looking at the three wounds on his chest that exuded a cold and deadly aura, Aotian's victory was obviously not so easy.

“Brother Ao, drink this bottle of dragon marrow quickly to get rid of the death energy. Otherwise, if your wound is entangled by the death energy, it will deplete your life force.” Upon seeing this, You Zilong immediately handed a bottle of dragon marrow that had been specially refined to Aotian.

Aotian didn't hesitate and drank up all the dragon marrow in the bottle. Then a mysterious sword energy of life burst out from his body, eliminating all the death energy on the wound.

It seemed as if it was showing its powerful strength and warning Li Zhi and Duan De not to act rashly.

Duan De and Li Zhi were speechless.

Afterwards, everyone continued on their journey and saw an ancient cemetery deep in the cave.

The cemetery seemed to have been looted. Many ancient coffins had been dug out and thrown randomly on the ground.

Seeing this, Aotian frowned, then waved the small white jade sword and chopped all the coffins and the things inside into powder.

You Zilong said: "It is estimated that the Ksitigarbha Land is even deeper in the earth. Next, I will trouble the Taoist priest to lead us through this rock layer."

Li Zhi said: "It's not a big deal, it's all my responsibility."

Afterwards, everyone boarded the Earth-Pioneering Shuttle again and continued to rush deeper into the earth, but this time the speed was much slower.

After passing through three layers of ancient burial grounds, they finally came to a piece of black hard rock.

The Earth-Piercing Shuttle could not do anything about the layer of black hard rock. If they wanted to get through it, they had to find another way.

After seeing the layer of black hard rock, You Zilong and Aotian both showed expressions of surprise.

"This is the legendary black barrier place. We finally found it. After crossing the black barrier, we will reach the real Ksitigarbha place." You Zilong said, unable to suppress his excitement.

Duan De said, "According to my observation, without the power of a king, it is impossible to break the black rock in front of us. It is even difficult to leave a mark on it."

"Master, please take a look." You Zilong flipped his hand and took out a drill-shaped magic weapon.

"Is this the Dragon-Seeking Diamond Drill?" Duan De recognized the magic weapon in his hand at a glance and said with a little surprise.

"Yes, it is the legendary dragon-seeking diamond drill that can drill through all dragon caves in the world." You Zilong said confidently.

Then he used the dragon-seeking diamond drill to start drilling the black rock formation.

However, the hardness of the rock layer was far beyond his expectations. It took him half a day to drill a small hole less than three inches deep. At this speed, it would take a long time to drill through the black rock barrier in front of him.

Finally, You Zilong asked Duan De and Li Zhi for help, but they both shook their heads, indicating that they were powerless to help.

Soon, everyone returned to the surface with disappointment.

You Zilong and Aotian said goodbye to Li Zhi and Duan De. They planned to go back and borrow the king's magic weapon or even the holy weapon to break through the black rock barrier.

After watching them leave, Duan De said, "Little Li Zhi, it's your turn to show off your skills."

Li Zhi said speechlessly: "My Taoist Master Duan, aren't you afraid that they will come back and attack you?"

Duan De curled his lips and said, "They have left a Taoist deity to monitor us from a distance. But so what! I believe you will dig through the black rock barrier before they come back. I don't think your Luoyang shovel magic weapon is as simple as a holy weapon with a dead spirit."

Li Zhi said: "Then I will try."

Afterwards, he and Duan De entered the underground of Xianhu again.

You Zilong and Aotian, who had already flown thousands of miles away, frowned after seeing this scene.

Aotian asked: "Should we go back? What if they get to Ksitigarbha Land first?"

You Zilong said, "Let's go back and ask for help. Legend has it that the black rock barrier outside the Ksitigarbha Land is 9,999 feet thick. Even a king would need more than half a year to dig through it. Maybe by the time we find help, they've already dug a tunnel, which can save us some time."

Aotian said: "But I'm worried that they have other means."

You Zilong shook his head and said, "It's useless. The black rock barrier can dissolve all magical attacks. We can only rely on brute force to dig. Even if they have holy weapons, they can't open the barrier in a short time."

Although Aotian was worried in his heart, he knew You Zilong was a professional in finding dragons and digging caves, so he finally chose to trust his judgment.
