The distant bonfire was lit, and the darkness was constantly changing. There were patrolling figures walking back and forth.

They even sent people to patrol?

Yi Zhou was a little surprised, he carefully used the shadows of the various buildings to constantly sneak closer.

Faintly, one could hear someone speaking.

What was the meaning of General Qin Tie from the military? At night, he even sent someone to watch the entrance. It was dark inside, who would go in?

That's right, it was quite strange. At night, even if the main hall was lit with torches, it wouldn't look too far away. It was very strange!

Endure it, General Qin Tie promised each of them a piece of low-ranked Spiritual Stone, which they would be able to collect once they left the place. Even if they were on guard every day, it would still be worth it.

The three people sitting around the fire by the door were chatting.

It turned out that the man surnamed Qin was called Qin Tie and was from the military. Do I have a grudge with the military?

Yi Zhou didn't know how he and Qin Tie became enemies.

As for Qin Tie, who had sent people to guard the entrance of the hall, Yi Zhou had a feeling that there was some intent to stop him inside. At the very least, if he wanted to enter, he would know.

Everyone entered the Secret Realm. Originally, it was a free exercise, but Qin Tie couldn't very well assign people to be on duty at night.

As a result, there were many people who wanted to stay in the main hall at night. They were divided into multiple groups, with three people in each group, who would be on duty in turns.

This was going to be troublesome!

Yi Zhou secretly thought.

During the day, Yi Zhou had already observed that there was a main hall in this hall, with several side halls on both sides, and also a rear hall.

Around the main hall, there was a faint mist swirling.

Xiao Jiu told Yi Zhou that the array formation was still functioning normally. As a result, there was only one entrance to the Hall of Returning.

The main gate was locked. It was very difficult for one to enter the main hall without being noticed.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew over.

Yi Zhou immediately made a decision and struck out with his palm. As a result, the wind became stronger, blowing the fire to the point of extinguishing.

Sigh!

Several people on duty quickly surrounded the fire.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yi Zhou dodged, went through the broken door, and entered the pitch-black great hall.

What was that sound? A man on duty said.

There was no sound? Wasn't it windy? Did you hear wrong?

Yeah, I didn't hear it either.

Perhaps he had heard wrongly.

When Yi Zhou heard that everything outside had gradually quietened down, he began to observe his surroundings peacefully.

After the divine grass entered his Dantian, Yi Zhou's five senses had also improved greatly. Even though the hall was pitch black, he still viewed the divine grass as a candle.

There was a stone statue inside the hall and it looked like it belonged to a celestial being. The only thing that made people curious was that the two phoenix eyes were tightly shut.

This was my former master.

Xiao Jiu was slightly sad as he communicated with Yi Zhou on the spiritual level.

Oh, why are his eyes closed? Yi Zhou asked.

Because he wanted to remind himself that he should always stop and think, and not forget his true nature. The Hall of Returning Heart had the intention of returning to one's heart.

Yi Zhou nodded his head, thinking that it was so.

When a person lives in a high place, they will often lose themselves, or even never find their original intention.

Clearly, this major power was a self-controlled, extremely binding figure.

Yi Zhou cupped his hands and bowed to show his respect.

Are there any underground chambers here?

Yi Zhou looked around and asked.

Azure Sun's Secret Realm would open every year, but the Azure Sun King had yet to find what he was looking for. It was clear that the possibility of the item being in the open was not high.

The underground palace indeed exists, but you people aren't strong enough. If you want to open it, it can only be around noon, when the yang energy is at its highest.

So that's how it was.

Yi Zhou began to understand. No wonder no one had fulfilled Azure Sun King's request in such a long time. Opening the underground palace required both strength and skill.

Take a look around. If you don't have any good opportunities, I'll bring you to the spirit pond. This can be considered as the most precious place in the hall.

Xiao Jiu said to Yi Zhou.

The most precious place, the Spirit Pool?

Yi Zhou remembered that Xiao Jiu had once said that a spirit pond could wash away an abnormal state of one's body. For example, after being acknowledged by this world as such, one would be able to leave this place by soaking in a spirit pond.

Yi Zhou searched through all the halls but didn't find anything.

All the things that could be moved and carried away in the rooms had been taken away by those who had come here before.

A few meditation mats and stone chairs were served up as tables. Following Xiao Jiu's narration, Yi Zhou was able to imagine the scene when someone lifted up their weapons and took them away.

How clean!

Yi Zhou shook his head speechlessly.

However, Yi Zhou searched through every single palace inside and outside, yet didn't find any place that could be called a spirit pond, even a concave place that could possibly be called a pond.

Little Nine, is the spirit pond you spoke of here? Yi Zhou asked.

Yes. Right here. Little Nine answered matter-of-factly.

But I didn't see it!

It's in the back hall.

Thus, Yi Zhou once again returned to the rear hall. He carefully searched for it, but didn't find the so-called spirit pond.

There was no need to look anymore, it was the stone platform in the middle of the hall, which was the spirit pond.

Seeing Yi Zhou still looking for it with much effort, Xiao Jiu curled his lips and pointed to it.

This stone platform was called Spirit Pool!

Yi Zhou walked over and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The stone platform was cylindrical shaped and was about three feet above the ground. Moreover, it seemed to be deep underground, making it look rather heavy. If it had been lighter, it might have been moved.

How could such a pillar be called a spirit pond?

Yi Zhou expressed his incomprehension.

You'll know in a minute.

Little Nine said slowly, Master once found a trace of Primordial Spiritual Qi and tied it here. All abnormal conditions would return to normal after the Yuan Qi came into contact with it. However, his master had said that the Primordial Spiritual Qi should have other uses, but he hadn't discovered them yet.

Beginning spiritual energy?

Yi Zhou had never heard of such a name. Clearly, it was something that was easy to come into contact with when one was at the level of a true almighty.

If you stand on the platform, I will tell you the mental cultivation method to attract the Beginner's Spiritual Qi. By relying on your mental cultivation method to circulate your spiritual energy, you should be able to attract primordial spiritual energy to you. As for what would happen, I don't know, but it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Could it be a bad thing? What do you mean?

Yi Zhou asked anxiously.

A long time ago, there was a person who exploded and died in the spirit pond. His master speculated that it was probably due to the person wanting to absorb the Primordial Spiritual Qi.

Little Nine said uncertainly.

His body exploded and he died? Speculation?

Yi Zhou looked at Xiao Jiu, and suddenly wasn't sure if he should experience the spirit pond or not.

In the end, Yi Zhou still climbed up the stone pillar, and Xiao Jiu flew away from the stone pillar at the same height as Yi Zhou and started to teach him mental cultivation methods.

The mental cultivation method that Xiao Jiu mentioned was very simple, it was very similar to the simple mental cultivation method that Yi Zhou came into contact with at the beginning of his training.

According to Master, the Primeval Spiritual Energy is more interested in the cultivation techniques that can be activated quickly.

Little Nine repeated the only request.

How fast is it?

Yi Zhou thought for a bit, the spirit veins seemed to have thought it through, it seemed that this mental cultivation method was used to train the Spiritual Energy in his body at a fast speed.

Yi Zhou nodded and started to operate the Spiritual Energy according to Xiao Jiu's request.

The Spiritual Energy began to move swiftly like wind and lightning.

It was very simple. It seemed that he could move even faster.

Yi Zhou had a relaxed feeling that the speed of the Spiritual Energy's circulation was far from its limit.

Faster, no matter how fast!

The Spiritual Energy in Yi Zhou's body started to go crazy.

Buzz.

Seeming to be his imagination, Yi Zhou suddenly felt that he was no longer inside the great hall, but under the starry sky.

There was no moon in the sky, only an endless starry sky.

The stars were like lamps, and the river of stars was like fire.

Looking around, Yi Zhou felt an illusion.

Why did it feel like he was inside a jade bowl? The edge of the wall was crystal clear, and the world outside the bowl could be vaguely seen.

Could this be the so-called spirit pond? It seemed that what he said made sense.

Ka-cha! *

There seemed to be a sudden clap of thunder as a bright bolt of lightning flashed by.

The light coiled around the edges of the jade bowl. At first it looked like a dragon, then it looked like a qilin.

Under Yi Zhou's scrutinized gaze, the light continued to circulate along the bowl's walls, and the shape of the light also evolved into various Guerui Beasts.

However, the bright light that had evolved from the beast's head looked straight at Yi Zhou!

Could this be the Origin Energy? Xiao Jiu had said that no matter what happened, the Spiritual Energy could not stop, and would only move even faster.

Yi Zhou looked at the changes in the light, but the Spiritual Energy in his body was not disturbed in the slightest, and continued to flow crazily.

As if a roar came from beyond the nine heavens, Yi Zhou could not hear it, but he could feel the shock that suddenly descended upon him.

The light suddenly rushed towards Yi Zhou. Its speed was so fast that Yi Zhou was unable to react!

Yi Zhou's body trembled slightly, and that strand of Primordial Spirit Qi actually drilled into Yi Zhou's body.

Ah!

Yi Zhou was shocked, then suddenly remembered that Xiao Jiu had mentioned about someone absorbing the Primordial Spirit Qi and then died!

Will there be a problem?

Just as Yi Zhou was confused, the Primeval Spirit Qi and the Spiritual Energy in Yi Zhou's body started to circulate frantically. In the blink of an eye, the two had fused into one.

Suddenly, Yi Zhou felt his body spasming. Yi Zhou also had a feeling that it was hard to breathe, at this moment, the fused Spiritual Energy s were circulating in his meridians, and their speed was increasing by multiple fold.

The Spiritual Energy was no longer restricted to the route that Yi Zhou had first set up.

No matter if the blood channels in front were already cleared, the Spiritual Energy was like a crazy Ancient Desolation Beast, kicking past.

Anything that tried to obstruct it was smashed into smithereens, or even shattered into smithereens.

At this time, the energy that Yi Zhou was enduring was in sharp pain, as if oil was dripping onto his skin, or as if a steel blade was cutting through his bones.

Ah!

Yi Zhou couldn't help but cry out, the instant of pain was unbearable.

There was someone in the hall!

The three people who were on duty suddenly jumped up. Each of them held a torch and rushed into the main hall.
