Chapter 282: Ethereal Origin
The Ethereal Island has six islands in a row, the middle of which is the highest, piercing into the sky, with bursts of birdsong coming out of it, and the occasional long-tailed finch flying out of it.
The head resembles a chicken, and the tail has three long three-colored feathers, which sparkle in the sunlight.
From time to time, there are bursts of birdsong, and its call is crisp and ethereal, hence the name, ethereal bird.
One of the island's features is the ethereal birds, which have been breeding on the island since its inception. Therefore, the successive island owners did not drive them away, but used the island in the middle as their habitat, and did not allow the monks to step into it.
Otherwise, they will be expelled from the island by Ethereal Island.
Viewed from above, the five islands form a ring, protecting the ethereal island in the center and resembling plum blossoms.
It is rumored that the first generation of the island owner Shangguan Ling favored Mei, and after coming to this island for the first time, he looked at its shape and occasionally realized it, and created a Dafa called the Eight Methods of Washing Plum.
Later, she simply changed her name to Shangguan Mei to show her love for Mei.
When she returned to the Spirit Sea, she moved to twenty islands, arranged them in the shape of plum blossoms, and spread them around the Ethereal Island.
As a result, Ethereal Island also has another name, which is the Wumei Islands.
In addition to Ethereal Island, there are four islands in the Wumei Islands, which are Chunmei Island, Xiamei Island, Qiumei Island and Dongmei Island. The islands are connected by small teleportation arrays, and the small islands that make up the islands are connected by rainbow bridges.
From a distance, it is colorful and extraordinarily beautiful.
Ethereal Island has a large population, and all the islands together are tens of millions, far from being comparable to Baling Island and Sunset Island.
Wei Qing and Du Yun Fei walked on the Hongqiao of Ethereal Island, and the monks who passed by them were generally high in cultivation, most of them were foundation building Great Perfection, and there were even many half-step golden pills, which made both of them secretly surprised.
It can be seen from this that the cultivation here is flourishing.
However, the unique topography of Ethereal Island is not the main reason for attracting monks here.
The main reason is that this place is close to the spiritual sea, although there is a formation barrier, but the spiritual power here is far stronger than other places in the far sea.
Some half-step Jindan powerhouses feel that a breakthrough is imminent, so they will come here to practice, and try their best to enter the spiritual sea while practicing.
It is rumored that if the qualifications of a half-step Jindan powerhouse are sufficient, the moment he steps into the spiritual sea, he will be infused with spiritual power several times richer than that of the far sea, so that he has a chance to break through to the Jindan realm.
Many reasons are concentrated to create today's prosperous situation.
The five roundabouts of Ethereal Island are not named, firstly, because they do not want to be distinguished from the ethereal island in the center, and secondly, there is no need for the small islands to be connected by rainbow bridges.
Later, in order to distinguish the islands, A, B, C, and D were used as the names of each island area.
At this time, Wei Qing was on the Hongqiao connecting Area A and Area B.
"Boss Wei, I'm also not familiar with Ethereal Island, why don't I find a place to settle down first, and then give me two days, I'll find out the general situation here, and it's okay to wander around aimlessly!" Du Yunfei suggested.
Wei Qing nodded, the two of them didn't know anything about Ethereal Island.
The information he had learned from Lin Lei before was also limited, there was a barrier between the Spirit Sea and the Far Sea, which not only separated the two seas, but also blocked most of the spiritual power in the Spirit Sea, which made the spiritual power of the Spirit Sea extremely rich.
The long-distance teleportation arrays of the major forces in the far sea can only teleport the monks to the edge of the barrier, and the monks above the Jindan cultivation level can cross the barrier with their own strength. And the monks below the Jindan stage, as long as they step into it, they will definitely be torn apart by the tyrannical aura contained in it, and it is useless to let the monks of your rank be invincible.
But as long as there is a golden pill, there is absolutely no possibility of spending it safely.
However, in order to attract outstanding talents, Linghai will issue a certain amount of places every ten years to the major forces in the far sea.
As for how to distribute it, Lin Lei couldn't say clearly, he had been stationed on Sunset Island for a long time, and he had never been to Ethereal Island. Not only him, but there were many monks who had never been out of the island in their entire lives and knew very little about what was going on outside of their own island.
The two settled in Zone B.
There is also a cave house lease in Area B, but the price is terrifying, and it will consume more than tens of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones a month, and the wealth that Wei Qing has accumulated before has long been consumed, and he is shy at this time.
Du Yunfei had a lot of spirit stones on his body, so he had to bleed profusely and rent a term of half a year in one go.
After Wei Qing came to the cave mansion, he began to meditate and cultivate, while Du Yunfei went out to inquire about the news.
During this time, Wei Qing has been running around, and Wei Qing has not cultivated well, so he plans to use these days to sort out his own cultivation.
Now take the elixir garden out of the storage bag and place it in a corner of the cave.
The aura here is extremely rich, far surpassing the place where Qiu Prefecture has spiritual veins, which can well replenish the spiritual power in the elixir garden.
The blue water lotus was planted by him in the waterhole, this kind of heavenly treasure has extremely strict requirements for spiritual power, and these days, the growth is extremely slow.
As the elixir garden was placed, a ten-zhang spiritual power vortex appeared in the sky above it.
Wei Qing had long known that this phenomenon would occur, so he did not completely open the elixir garden, but only expanded it several times, and the effect of the Heavenly Herb in absorbing spiritual power was not maximized.
He was also afraid that the vision caused by him would be noticed by those who had a heart and cause unnecessary trouble.
Two days later, Du Yunfei came back from outside, his face was a little strange.
Wei Qing frowned and asked, "What's the inquiry?"
Du Yunfei did not hide it, and told the news he had inquired about these days.
It turned out that every ten years, the forces of the Spirit Sea side would give ten places to the islands with long-distance teleportation arrays to enter the Spirit Sea.
Anyone who gets these ten places will get a token, and after entering the barrier, as long as the person who has the token in his possession, he will be recognized by the barrier formation, so that he can easily enter it.
However, this role is one-way, and can only enter but not exit.
"When will the token be issued?" Wei Qing asked.
Du Yunfei replied: "One month before the arrival of the ten-year period, there are still two years to go. ”
Wei Qing's brows furrowed, two years was a bit long for him, but there was no way but to wait for another two years.
Later, he asked, "How can I get the token, and have you inquired about it?"
Du Yunfei nodded and said, "Ethereal Island will be held every ten years, and the top ten will automatically get tokens for the ranking of the younger generation. There is also a limit to this qualifying tournament, and you must be under the age of 30 to cultivate as a monk who has reached the foundation building. ”
"In addition to these, what are the restrictions?" Wei Qing thought for a moment, if this was the case, then wouldn't the number of participants be too many.
"There were a lot of participants, at least hundreds of thousands, for a year. The qualifying tournament is an unprecedented prosperity of Ethereal Island and its subordinate islands, and I have not learned about it before, just because I have not cultivated enough. Except for Ethereal Island, other islands will not hold ranking matches, and the top ten Tianjiao on each island will automatically enter the finals without the preliminary round. Monks from other islands who want to participate in the preliminary round can only come to Ethereal Island to register, and the preliminary round will be held a year later, and a year and a half later, the final will be held to compete for the top 10. Du Yunfei said carefully.
