Chapter 64: The Four Corners of the Continent
Ling Xu's words made Guo Chen very confused, except for the Bihong Spirit Sword, he actually didn't have any actual combat power at all, what ability did he have to influence this?
The Pupil of Nightmare is powerful, no one can deny this, but until it reaches the ground level, it has almost no combat effect, only auxiliary abilities.
Whether it is the illusion technique, the increase in intelligence, or even the teleportation of spiritual power, these abilities do have a great effect when they appear on the human level, but the combat ability is almost zero.
He can use illusion skills to imprison the souls of others, but he has no way to kill people, not even hurt opponents with strong defenses.
However, fortunately, the increase in cultivation speed brought by the Nightmare Pupil can allow him to quickly increase his spiritual power, and after reaching the ground level, he will be able to have combat ability.
The Pupil of Nightmare does not only have the ability of illusion skills, but the other abilities consume a lot of spiritual power, and with his current human strength, he can only use two abilities.
One is the illusion space that was just used, and the other is the Soul Devouring Dance that has just been comprehended and can only play a role for Shen Xuan alone.
According to the order of spiritual skills recorded in the previous secret book, he will first comprehend the ability of reincarnation pupil, which has little effect, and then comprehend the ability with an attack effect, the ecstasy ghost finger.
But that would not be possible until he broke through to the ground level, with his current strength, it was impossible to affect what was happening in the secret realm of Lin Dao, Ling Xu's words sounded really inexplicable to him.
"I've said it many times, as long as the purple-black nightmare pupil appears, the seven clansmen will definitely be able to gather, didn't a few disciples of the small sect survive at that time?"
Seeing his puzzled expression, Ling Xu repeated what he had said many times.
At that time, he was not just maintaining the illusion space, he had carefully perceived every soul that entered the illusion space.
In the end, he felt that the small sect was not completely wiped out, there were still many people who survived, although the number was not large, but these people were all likely to become their clansmen.
"This is also the result of what you foresaw with the Nightmare Pupil?"
Now he almost understood, it should be someone from the Nightmare Clan who had seen it, and as long as the purple-black Nightmare Pupil appeared, the seven clansmen would definitely be able to gather it.
"None of this matters, what you have to do next is to find a way to gather our seven clansmen, in addition to the three of us, there are four people, you need to go to the east of the continent to find ancient ruins first. ”
Ling Xu shook his head, and then said, in his opinion, the time was almost ripe for them to look for other clansmen.
He himself doesn't plan to meddle too much, because the more things he meddles, the greater the impact when he leaves in the future, and he should try to reduce his influence as much as possible.
The Zhuling Continent, although it is only a continent, but the degree of development is still very different, such as the Lingyun Sect, most of these major sects are located in the west.
Those sects in the east of the continent are really weak, and there are basically not many masters above the ground level, Guo Chen and the three of them will basically not encounter any great danger.
Although it is said that the spiritual power cultivation in the East is relatively backward, the royal family especially likes the East, because the commerce there is particularly developed, far exceeding other places.
The whole of the Zhuling Continent can be divided into four parts, with the imperial city located in the center of the continent as the dividing line, divided into four parts, there is no specific name, it is generally called by the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest.
Among the four directions of this continent, the commerce in the East is the most developed, the spiritual cultivation level in the West is the highest, and there are many major families in the South, which have long sent some special wizards to the royal family.
As for the northern part of the continent, more than half of them are currently not under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Family, they have their own tribes to administer them, and they have never communicated with other continents.
The last time the Northern Continent was opened, it was already twenty years ago when the Continent united to defeat the Nightmare Clan, and although the spiritual cultivation of the people in the north of the continent was not as good as that of the South and the West, their physical bodies were extremely strong.
In addition to these four continents, there are many islands near the Zhuling Continent, all of which are controlled by the imperial family, including many islands in the north of the entire Zhuling Continent, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the imperial family.
However, generally speaking, the trade of these islands is not developed, the cultivation of spiritual power is not very good, and there are not many talents that can be tapped, so the royal family has never paid much attention to it.
Ever since Guo Chen and Shen Xuan left the Baqi Sect, they had been wandering in the west and south, and although the Nine Star Academy was located a little north of the imperial city, it actually belonged to the west.
And the island where the entrance to the secret realm of Lin Island is located belongs to the south, and the Yaqi Sect is also in the south, so they really don't know much about the east and the north.
"Are we going to the east of the continent now?"
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to go to the East, although the spiritual cultivation of the people there was not very good, but the power of the royal family was really strong.
"As soon as you come over there, there are ruins left by our Nightmare Clan, you need to go there to pick up something, and then find out if those sects in the east have our local people. ”
After saying this, Ling Xu paused, and then said: "Second, now that the Nine Star Academy already knows your identity, it is very likely that you will meet their people in the west, so it is better to go to the east to avoid one first." ”
After listening to his words, Guo Chen fell into thought, if they were going to the East, they should not be able to come back in a short time, because among the sects that came to the secret realm of Lindao this time, there were many from the East.
"Recently, there have been too many things on the mainland, the strength of the western sect is too strong, you can't investigate it for the time being, the north may be the nest of the evil alliance, you had better go to the east to investigate now. ”
Ling Xu continued to output, trying to get him to quickly agree to go to the east, which made him feel very inexplicable, isn't there still the south?
"In the south, I've been there for so long, I've almost done a search, and there shouldn't be any of our people over there. ”
As a result, before he could ask, Ling Xu over there had already taken the lead in explaining to him, looking at the current situation, he seemed to have to accept it.
"You must go to the East now, and you must use your Nightmare Pupil to find what will guide our people. ”
"Okay, okay, can't I go, are the two of them going with me too?"
In the face of Ling Xu's continuous output, he finally surrendered, he had to go sooner or later anyway, so solve it early and finish it early, just go.
"I've almost planned the route for you in the past few years, first of all, you have to go to the ancient ruins of the East, by the way, to investigate the sect over there, and then go around to the north, and then return to the west. ”
As he spoke, Ling Xu had already taken out an old map, handed it to him, and continued, "In this way, when you come back, you will almost reach the ground level, and the clansmen will almost be able to find all of them." ”
He took the map, looked at it carefully, and then said, "Good fellow, how long have you been planning, if you go like this, we can come back in a year." ”
Hearing his words, the first person who couldn't sit still was Ling Yunhao, what are you kidding?
Ling Yunhao is twenty-one years old and has broken through to the tenth level of the human level, which is already the first day of the current mainland, how old will Guo Chen be a year later?
If you reach the sky, you will not be more than twenty years old, and you will break through to the earth level before you are twenty years old, and there should be no genius of this level on the continent.
"Which sect disciples came out of the secret realm of Lin Island alive just now, you should also feel that those people may be our clansmen. ”
"Got it, got it, so should we go back to the cave to rest first, or just go to the east?"
Now that they are at sea, it is not impossible to go to the east, they can reach it by turning a corner, but Ling Xu still said that they should go back to the cave to rest first.
"By the way, the route I gave you is not hard-and-do, it is better to improve it on the basis of my route according to the guide, I believe in your ability. ”
Ling Xu was still very confident in Guo Chen's mental power, and the map he gave him only recorded the general route, that is, most of the sects could pass through.
For example, the location of the Imperial City is relatively special, and it will pass through the east, north, and west once each, because the Imperial City is heavily guarded, so it is not very likely that you can enter it for the first time.
In order to save time, it is naturally impossible to wait for the opportunity to come, go somewhere else first, and wait until the guards of the imperial city are a little lax before blending in.
"Alright, that's pretty much it, I'll tell you what we need to pay attention to when we get back to the cave and rest for a few days. ”
After saying this, Ling Xu directly leaned on the eaves of the boat and began to sleep, for his situation of excessive mental consumption, sleeping was the fastest way to recover.
Shen Xuan and Ling Yunhao began to take turns controlling the Skymark Ship to move forward, after all, both of them were still only human and could not keep the Skymark Ship moving.
As for Guo Chen, he was carefully studying the map, and according to his memory and the annotations on the map, he began to temporarily prepare to modify the route.
Although he hadn't set off yet, there were already some clues, and since only those with the Pupil of Nightmare could hear that voice, there was a high probability that what he said was true.
Since what he said is true, then it is necessary to minimize those sects that did not participate in this operation, and focus on investigating those sects that have disciples who survived.
In this way, you can save more time, and you can also return to the south of the mainland as soon as possible, I don't know what the reason is, Guo Chen always has a feeling of resistance to the east of the mainland.
He hadn't been to the east of the continent since he crossed over, and he didn't know where this feeling of resistance came from, and no one could answer him now.
The speed of the Sky Scar Ship was still very good, and a day later, the four of them had already returned to the Continent of Spirits, and Guo Chen was the last to get off the ship and include it in the Scroll Realm.
"Okay, hurry back to the cave, first tell Guan Ying about our trip to the East, and see if she wants to go with us. ”
Guan Ying's cultivation method is that she needs to travel everywhere, and she should not refuse to let her go with her, and with her, it means that there are spirit beasts to travel, and it will be more convenient in many cases.
The place where they came ashore was not very far from the cave, and they had already entered the nearby forest two hours after they landed, and at the same time, they had already been sensed by Guan Ying.
Although the time is not very long, Guan Ying has basically had a good relationship with all the spirit beasts in this forest, and her spiritual power and perception ability have improved considerably.
Guan Ying immediately began to rush in their direction, because there were spirit beasts to travel on her behalf, her speed was very fast, and Guo Chen and the others had already been found by her before they had gone far.
"Why did you come back so quickly and didn't tell me to pick you up?"
"Something has happened, let's go back to the cave first, and we'll talk about what happens next. ”
Immediately, Guan Ying and the four of them returned to the cave and began to discuss the next trip to the east of the mainland.
