Three days later.
In the ancient demon secret realm, in a desert, Lin Tianming and his wife appeared again.
Since leaving the temporary cave, Lin Tianming and his wife spent three days carefully crossing the Red Moon Lake.
The journey was quite smooth. We didn't encounter any fourth-level monsters, and we didn't even encounter many late-stage third-level monsters.
Lin Tianming was not very surprised by this result.
Because in his opinion, although the ancient demon secret realm is extremely dangerous, the density of demon beasts has always been very high.
This is known to almost everyone in the world of immortal cultivation.
But no matter what, fourth-level monsters are high-level monsters after all, and it is definitely impossible for them to be everywhere like low-level monsters.
In addition, Lin Tianming and his wife have strong cultivation capabilities and have both entered the Golden Core Great Perfection realm.
In addition, the couple's spiritual awareness is powerful, and their perception of danger is different from that of ordinary people.
Moreover, their purpose at that time was only to cross the Red Moon Lake, and they had no intention of actively looking for trouble.
Unless you come across an extremely precious treasure.
Otherwise, Lin Tianming and the others would definitely not act rashly to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
In this case, with their cultivation strength and perception, the journey was quite smooth. Even if they encountered some third-level monsters or third-level treasures, they basically ignored them.
As a result, the couple's speed of travel was not low and the whole process was smooth.
Finally, they entered the desert.
Looking at it now, the desert is endless, and everywhere you look is dry and desolate.
Not only that, the spiritual energy here seems to be very thin. It can't be compared with the Red Moon Lake that Lin Tianming has been to, let alone a dangerous place like the Dark Jungle.
Such a dilapidated and desolate scene made Lin Tianming couldn't help but sigh: "The environment in this ancient demon secret realm is really strange, complex and changeable."
“In just this short month, I’ve seen a lot of different environments.”
"This is such a special place, it deserves to be called the Ancient Demon Secret Realm!"
“Only a place like this can have such rich and varied topography and produce countless natural treasures.”
Coming back to his senses, Lin Tianming stared straight ahead, looking around at the endless desert.
Beside him, Qin Xi was also staring into the distance, with a hint of curiosity on her beautiful face.
In Lin Tianming's sight, this desert has a large number of sand dunes, which seem to be endless and undulating, and it is unknown how large its scope is.
However, nothing can be seen with the naked eye, and there are indeed some ambiguous records on the map.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming quickly took out the map and held it in his hand, then checked it according to his location.
Soon, based on some information recorded on the map, Lin Tianming learned that the name of this place was Qianji Desert.
According to the information recorded in the map, the Thousand Machine Desert is huge in area, and seems to be several times larger than the Red Moon Lake. Only the Dark Jungle can be compared with it.
But the size of this area doesn't mean anything.
At the very least, the size of an area in the secret realm cannot determine whether the place is dangerous or whether it contains enough natural treasures.
Lin Tianming has actually been very clear about this for a long time, and he firmly believes that the more dangerous the place, the greater the probability of high-level treasures appearing.
Otherwise, the competition in the world of immortal cultivation would not be so fierce, and the difficult situation of the lower-level cultivators would not be so obvious.
The huge area of this Thousand Machine Desert is only one of its characteristics.
More importantly, the spiritual energy in the Thousand Machine Desert is thin, and the danger level in its deep areas is indeed no less than the dark bush that Lin Tianming once ventured into.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Tianming is quite interested in this place, and he also looks forward to finding some precious natural treasures in this place.
In addition, there is another very important point, which is to find Lin Tianyun as soon as possible.
At least at least we can find any traces left by Lin Tianyun.
With such expectation, Lin Tianming carefully checked the information about Qianji Desert recorded on the map.
Soon, he collected the map and then turned his attention to the distance.
According to the information they just checked, the place where they are standing now is just the edge of the Thousand Machine Desert.
Deep inside, there is a larger desert where a large number of monsters live.
Moreover, due to the overlapping territories, disputes always break out between these monsters, leading to a life-and-death battle.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of such factors that the order in the Thousand Machine Desert is in chaos, and the law of survival of the strong is particularly prominent here.
In this situation, due to the long-term chaotic order, this place is also filled with many unpredictable crises.
A large part of these crises come from monsters, and some come from the special environment here.
Therefore, the depths of the Thousand Machine Desert are extremely dangerous, and are accompanied by many unknown opportunities.
Precisely because he knew all this, Lin Tianming was quite interested in this piece of land and had great expectations for it.
In his opinion, the more dangerous the place, the more likely it is that high-level opportunities will appear.
In addition, the more dangerous the place is, the more monks will be attracted to explore it.
Otherwise, there would be no need for the Jindan stage cultivators under the command of many forces to venture into the ancient demon secret realm full of dangers.
After all, if you are afraid of danger and don't explore, there are plenty of places to go in the outside world.
Therefore, although the Thousand Machine Desert is extremely dangerous, it can also attract a large number of cultivators to come and seek opportunities.
Because of this, Lin Tianming came here for another purpose, which was to find Lin Tianyun's trace.
Because he knew very well that Lin Tianyun was extremely talented and was the most talented one in the entire history of the Lin family.
Perhaps it is because of his high talent that Lin Tianyun is not the strongest one in the Lin family at present.
In this way, in order to surpass Lin Tianming, Lin Tianyun always has his own goal and is willing to make great efforts for it.
Even when facing a huge crisis, he would never show any fear.
With this mentality, Lin Tianyun also has a strong obsession in his heart, which is to catch up with Lin Tianming's footsteps, and then surpass him in one fell swoop, so as to become the most dazzling member of the entire Lin family.
So in the Ancient Demon Secret Realm, judging from Lin Tianyun's psychological state and his desire for opportunities and treasures, he would definitely not sit and wait for death.
Moreover, Lin Tianyun's cultivation strength is quite impressive, and his body movement speed is basically unmatched among cultivators of the same level.
With such confidence, Lin Tianyun would definitely not waste this precious time during the opening of the secret realm.
In this way, the more dangerous the place, the more likely it is that Lin Tianyun will appear. It is precisely because of these points that Lin Tianming thought of entering the Thousand Machine Desert to look for Lin Tianyun again.
Now that he has determined his location and has a deeper understanding of the Thousand Machine Desert, Lin Tianming does not plan to waste time next.
So in the next moment, Lin Tianming slowly said to Qin Xi who was standing beside him: "Xi'er, this place is called Qianji Desert, it is an extremely huge desert land."
"According to records, the spiritual energy in the Thousand Machine Desert is extremely thin, but there are many powerful monsters living there."
"Next, let's go deep into the cave together and explore to see if we can find any trace of Tianyun."
Hearing this, Qin Xi nodded slightly, obviously not opposing Lin Tianming's decision.
In fact, since the couple got together, all plans were made by Lin Tianming, and Lin Tianming made all the choices.
As for herself, she would definitely follow Lin Tianming's plan.
So when Lin Tianming talked about this matter, Qin Xi naturally would not have any objection.
On the contrary, Qin Xi quickly spoke up and said that he had no objection and had made a series of psychological preparations.
After learning this, Lin Tianming was very satisfied and was full of anticipation for the next process.
So, the couple smiled at each other, then chose a direction and shot away.
In this way, Lin Tianming and his wife traveled forward for hundreds of miles, finally leaving the edge area and entering the core area of the Thousand Machine Desert.
At this time, Lin Tianming stopped on a sand dune, his eyes constantly searching around.
At the same time, he released all his powerful spiritual consciousness, and with his own location as the center, he began to conduct some detailed exploration of the surroundings.
After a long time, Lin Tianming's expression became slightly serious.
Seeing this, Qin Xi on the side immediately noticed his change.
"Brother Ming, did you find anything?"
"Or have you found any trace of Tianyun?"
Qin Xi asked anxiously, his expression full of anticipation.
Hearing this, Lin Tianming's expression relaxed a lot, and a flash of clear and spiritual energy passed through his eyes.
Then, Lin Tianming said, "Xi'er, it seems that a powerful fourth-level monster has discovered us in the distance."
"However, this demon beast is quite intelligent and has a very good perception. It seems to have sensed that we are quite powerful, so it did not launch an attack immediately."
At this point, Lin Tianming smiled calmly and said with emotion: "This beast is quite sensible."
"Otherwise, we will be in trouble and the monster may even lose its life."
"Forget it... Since the other party doesn't dare to act rashly, there is no need for us to cause trouble."
After saying this, Lin Tianming immediately took Qin Xi's hand and prepared to leave in another direction.
However, at this moment, the monster hiding in the dark and watching in the distance also made a move.
Upon noticing this sudden change, Lin Tianming pulled Qin Xi and stopped immediately, then stared in a certain direction vigilantly.
Soon, a huge gray-haired rat appeared right in front of Lin Tianming.
Looking at this time, the gray-haired mouse had shiny fur, stood at least three meters tall, and its four claws looked extremely sharp.
In addition, the aura of this gray-haired mouse is very strong. It is obviously a powerful monster that has entered the fourth level for many years.
As for the origin of this gray-haired mouse, Lin Tianming thought about it for a while and soon got some information.
It turns out that this gray-haired mouse is called the Earth Spirit Mouse. A normal adult is at the fourth level. Its characteristics are its extremely high intelligence and sharp perception.
This kind of keenness not only includes a strong perception of natural treasures, but also includes a perception of some powerful opponents, which far exceeds that of ordinary fourth-level monsters.
It is also because of this that after seeing the figures of Lin Tianming and his wife, the ground spirit rat seemed to sense that the combined fighting power of the two was not weaker than its own.
As a result, due to its cautious nature, the Earth Spirit Rat did not launch an attack immediately.
However, at the moment, Lin Tianming and his wife obviously did not intend to cause trouble, so they chose to turn around and leave here to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Faced with such a result, if the Earth Spirit Rat did not intend to cause trouble, it should let them leave.
But now, the earth spirit rat does not do so.
Instead, when Lin Tianming and the others were about to set off, he took the lead to block their way.
In Lin Tianming's view, such an action was clearly an act of active provocation.
To this end, Lin Tianming stared closely at the ground spirit rat in front of him and was ready to attack at any time.
Not only him, Qin Xi on the other side also received instructions from Lin Tianming and was ready to take action at this moment.
Just like that, with the change in the aura of Lin Tianming and the other two, coupled with a series of actions, the whole situation suddenly became tense.
However, this was just the reaction of Lin Tianming and his wife.
Opposite him, the Earth Spirit Rat simply blocked his way, its breath remained steady, and it seemed that it had no intention of taking action.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming couldn't help but feel a little confused.
After all, the Earth Spirit Rat showed up and blocked the way, but it didn't show any signs of attacking, nor did it seem to make any explanation.
However, there seemed to be no malice in the eyes of the Earth Spirit Rat, nor did it have any intention of attacking them.
It was precisely this abnormal behavior that made Lin Tianming a little confused for a while.
In this way, the two sides looked at each other from a distance for a moment.
In the end, it was Lin Tianming who spoke first and broke the deadlock.
"Senior Earth Spirit Rat, I wonder if you have any instructions for me since you are blocking my path?"
After saying this, Lin Tianming looked at the Earth Spirit Rat seriously, without slackening his inner defenses at all.
In his eyes, once the Earth Spirit Rat really attacks, then this war will be unavoidable.
In that case, there is no need for the couple to be polite.
After all, the opponent is a powerful fourth-level monster, and no matter how weak it is, it can't be that weak.
The other party had taken the initiative to cause trouble and blocked their way. With the strength of the couple combined, it would not be an easy task for them to slip away under their noses.
Therefore, facing such a powerful and proactive monster, simply wanting to avoid fighting is not a wise choice.
