Chapter 2 The World of Cultivation
The next day, when the first rays of sunlight rose from the east, everything in heaven and earth was covered in mist. This is the best time for practitioners, not only is the heaven and earth full of spiritual energy, but also the practice of any exercise can get twice the result with half the effort.
There is a lush hill behind Cheng Feng's village, and there is a platform on the hill, which seems to be the result of artificial reclamation, and it seems to be a natural formation over time.
Let's not talk about how the mountaintop platform is made, at this time, in the center of the mountaintop platform, a coarse cloth shirt, from a distance, the back image is a weathered old man, but up close, his appearance is indeed a heroic man in the year of standing, and then look closely at his face is Cheng Xingshan, the father of Cheng Feng!
"The injuries in my body are getting worse and worse, and I have to take care of my injuries before I can go to the Infinite Mountains again. This time it is so difficult to deal with even a second-level demon beast, if it weren't for the tiger marten heart being of great use to my son, I wouldn't have to take this risk, I would still be careless" Cheng Xingshan slowly opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze like two sharp swords looked into the distance, but his heart was full of melancholy.
Everyone in the village just thought that Cheng Xingshan, like everyone else, was hunting in a nearby mountain village. But what he didn't know was that every time he went, he was far away from the village for dozens of miles away from the boundless mountain range, although Cheng Xingshan was only the outermost part of the boundless mountain range, but this was already a ravine that ordinary people could never reach.
Because it is said that as long as you get close to the boundless mountain range, you will be poisoned by an inexplicable miasma. Ordinary people will die if they touch it. Only cultivating immortals can go there to hunt. The most terrifying is far more than that, it is said that there are many extremely powerful demon beasts that crisscross the mountain range. These are the formidable existences, and even the immortals who practice are in danger of falling here forever, let alone ordinary people.
Cheng Xingshan is actually not an ordinary person, but a cultivator. Because of the pursuit of the enemy, they will hide in this small mountain village that is uninhabited for hundreds of miles.
Previously, he was originally an inner disciple in a sect, and he was favored by an elder because of his talent. But the misfortune is not alone, and the blessing is unparalleled, just when he was about to break through the realm of foundation building, he was seriously injured by his fellow senior brother and fled.
The people in the sect had long thought that Cheng Xingshan was dead, and the senior brother who had secretly attacked and plotted against him knew everything. Because the news of Cheng Xingshan's fall was planned by him.
"I'm afraid that in ten years, the cultivation of the "senior brother" has become stronger and stronger" Although ten years have passed, Cheng Xingshan has not relaxed for a moment, but has become slightly nervous. Because his cultivation has been regressing continuously in the past ten years, if he hadn't broken through the foundation building realm at the beginning, he would not have been able to escape, and I am afraid that he would have been poisoned. But it is precisely this situation that has not been completely stabilized, and the cultivation has led to serious injuries and degeneration.
This kind of injury hurts the foundation, and it is almost impossible to recover without heavenly means or panacea to heal, and after a long time, it will definitely be completely lost. This is not something that Cheng Xingshan can bear. Let's not talk about whether you can avenge this plot, don't look at it now that you have been comfortable here for ten years, who knows when the enemy will suddenly kill you. So he doesn't seek revenge but can still have a certain ability to protect himself, he naturally didn't care when he was alone, and now it is impossible for a family of three to leave, which is why he will run to this remote mountain village to recuperate.
It's just that I didn't expect time to pass by in a flash, and I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
"Father, are your injuries better?" Just as Cheng Xingshan was deep in thought, Cheng Feng's somewhat immature voice came from beside him.
"It's okay" Cheng Xingshan waved his hand slightly, not caring about it.
Although his father didn't elaborate much, Cheng Feng's starry eyes still saw that the severity of his father's injury this time was not comparable to the usual skin trauma.
"Feng'er, since you were sensible, I know that you have a lot of questions, and now there are some things I think I can talk to you about" Cheng Xingshan looked at his son who had grown up, and said slowly. As he spoke, the originally bright eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of imperceptible tiredness.
Although Cheng Feng is only eight years old, his intelligence is far from comparable to that of children of his age. Hearing his father's words, he already had many questions in his heart, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed and excited.
"I know you're curious about what kind of world this is, and what kind of world lies beyond the mountain village we're in. I don't know much, but I know a lot about you, or for those who grew up in this small mountain village. Cheng Xingshan is not false at all, he is a cultivator in his early years, he was in a large number of sects, big families, and a prosperous place soared into the sky. At that time, he was also a high-profile existence. It's a pity that things are people, and no one asks about them.
Speaking of this, Cheng Xingshan couldn't help but have a trace of pride, fleeting, and the glorious achievements of the past were destroyed overnight. This is not something that ordinary people can bear, Cheng Xingshan did not give up because of this, but came to this "world", found his other half, and calmly became an ordinary person. He also thought about letting his children be ordinary people in the future and spend their lives happily here.
But going out this time made his mood fluctuate, and he became very dignified without being shocked by the past honor and disgrace.
Because in the past two years, every time he went out hunting, he made amazing discoveries, and this time he came back had a big part of the impact. Including the discovery in the past few years when meditating cross-legged on this small mountain, although Cheng Xingshan's cultivation is not very high, but for a cultivator who has broken through to the realm of foundation building, feeling the aura of heaven and earth is naturally not a problem, it is as simple as eating and drinking.
It is really this change that makes Cheng Xingshan very hesitant and full of expectations at the same time!
"What I'm going to say to you next must be kept secret from anyone in the village, they are used to this carefree and comfortable life, and try to let them live here simply and happily as much as possible."
Gradually, listening to his father's story, Cheng Feng realized that this world was called the Wind Continent. Living on this continent is not only ordinary people, but also practitioners. In the mouth of cultivators, ordinary people are extremely weak, fragile like ants, so they call them mortals.
However, practitioners practice the magical powers handed down from ancient powers, and go against the sky, and while they continue to grow stronger, they also have many heavenly calamities to test every practitioner.
Time has passed, the years have passed, thousands of years have passed in a flash, and some of the originally powerful exercises and supernatural powers have been lost, and some have been monopolized by major families or sect giants or individual peerless powerhouses. As a result, the exercises in later generations were either incomplete or simplified. In addition, the aura of heaven and earth in later generations is becoming thinner and thinner, and the power of the exercises is even more than one in ten. Few survived the tribulation. As a result, the higher the realm, the smaller the number of people, and the pyramid-like world pattern of cultivators was formed.
