Volume 2: Forging Ahead Chapter 18 The sky is high and the road is far away
Zhou Hao's unintentional move also saved a lot of trouble.
For Zhou Hao, it is still very easy to fly seven or eight thousand miles in one breath by flying with his own sword, and with the small burden of Ganoderma lucidum, it is easy to fly five thousand miles at a time, and the spiritual power consumed is worth sixty percent.
Of course, this is within the scope of human activities, as for entering the land where wild monsters are rampant, it depends on strength and luck, but Zhou Hao believes that with his own strength and consistent luck, one year is enough for him to arrive easily with Lingzhi.
Therefore, there was no hurry to leave, and the sword flew slowly.
Looking at the villages, cities, turbulent lakes, and crisscrossed rivers that appear from time to time below, flying more than 2,000 miles, I chose a stream to fall down in a small mountain range.
Lingzhi jumped off the flying sword, holding on to a branch, and it took a long time to relieve the feeling of dizziness, "Young master, it's really not fun to fly, my feet are still weak, and I feel in the air!"
"Haha, I think you're very happy, standing on the sword and looking around, you can't see enough of the scenery, so you and Li'er jumped outside the flying sword," Zhou Hao laughed.
Lingzhi shouted: "Young master laughs at me, isn't it the first time that people have flown so high?" I'll go get water for the young master to wash," and went to the stream to get water, and Bai Li also jumped and followed.
Zhou Hao dispersed the insects and ants within a few feet of his body, took out a blanket to spread, sat cross-legged, took out the jade plate received by the city gate, and poked out his mind to check, sure enough, the jade plate recorded the tasks that need to be completed along the way, that is, the assessment standard, the number of more than 600 pieces, as for how much can be completed, and the final assessment standard, it is clear.
There are two key points, one of which is more than 30,000 miles of wild mountains, hunting demon beasts, and collecting elixir deposits, all of which have specific requirements, and they are also the most tasks and the most optional.
Secondly, it is the land of the hundred states, the place where the dynasties and the families are located, and complete the three murders of evil cultivators or wanted criminals, which must be accepted by themselves after arriving.
If you can't even get past the wilderness, it's useless to say more.
Looking at Bi Yupai's information, Zhou Hao frowned, it seems that this journey of 10,000 miles is really not simple, and it is no wonder that so many monks would rather give up the temptation of the opportunity to directly advance to the inner gate after five years.
Tianyan Sect can dominate hundreds of thousands of miles, the sect's power covers more than one-fifth of the northeast of the continent, its strength can be imagined, for the more than 30,000 miles of wild land that is about to pass, in fact, it is only a branch of a mountain range that extends from the real wild land in the north of the continent, which is called the Kunyu Mountain Range.
According to the normal monk's journey, another five or six thousand miles, one should turn southwest and follow the edge of the mountain range, all the way around, which is the most common and safest route, but then the distance to be passed will increase by nearly 100,000 li.
In the face of all kinds of materials that need to be collected, it is necessary to go deep into the Kunyu Mountains for five or six thousand miles, and even if you want to achieve better results, you have to enter almost thousands of miles.
Of course, the farther south you go, the narrower the depth of the mountain range, but this does not mean that it is safe, on the contrary, in the corner of chaos near the southernmost part, there is a dangerous realm, not only because the environment is bad, but also because there are countless monks who practice evil magic and demonic skills.
And the jade plaque issued by the Tianyan Sect also contains three simple routes for the monks to choose.
Carefully pondering the map jade slip given by Chu Changshan, Zhou Hao couldn't help but increase the danger of this trip by a few percent, he still had to be cautious, he was just a budding newcomer who had just embarked on the road to immortality.

The sky was approaching evening, Zhou Hao Yujian took Lingzhi, came to the Kunyu Mountains within a thousand miles, the sunset red glow, the rolling mountains, like a giant axe in the sky, across the end of the field of vision, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the white snow on the top of the mountain, like a snow axe inlaid in the high sky.
At the foot is a majestic stone city, guarding the north bank of the river as wide as three or four thousand zhang, to the north can not see the source of the river, to the south can not trace the place of the river, just the rolling waves of the river, silently take away all the secrets.
It can be found that most of the monks in and out of this small stone city are monks, much more than the capital of the Tianqing Dynasty, even if it is late, there are lines of light, mixed with the light of magic weapons, flashing out from the mountains from time to time, and finally gathering into the tall and strong city.
Zhou Hao took Lingzhi and stepped into the city, first spend tonight, and tomorrow will step into the wilderness, it is better to come step by step.
Walking into the city, a heavy and murderous breath came to the face, walking, whether it was a mortal, or a monk, no matter how high or low the cultivation was, there was a faint leak of a kind of evil spirit, even if the sky darkened, the city was still noisy and noisy, the monks who practiced the qi realm in a hurry, talked about drinking, and from time to time there were Jindan monks flying by.
Looking for the flow of people, I found an inn that looked good, and the two of them walked in, and the guy who ran the errand hurriedly greeted him.
"Hey, you two stay in the hotel or eat, please inside, please inside. ”
"Do you have a clean yard?" Zhou Hao asked, looking at the furnishings in the store.
The guy hurriedly led the way, "Yes, two, we have large and small courtyards in our store, one hundred spirit stones for one night in the top courtyard, and thirty spirit stones for one night in the medium courtyard, how many days do you plan to stay?"
"-And the environment is absolutely clean, and there is a formation guard, you can rest assured. ”
The hall was brightly lit, dozens of tables and chairs, and there were many monks dining, Zhou Hao's mind swept over, and he found that all the monks were building the foundation, and he was slightly stunned, "Little second brother, why are there so many foundation building monks?" asked while walking.
"Oh, guest officer, don't you know, there have been a lot of foundation building seniors in the city recently! It is rumored that they are going to break into the Kunyu Mountains and go to Tianyan Sect. ”
Zhou Hao heard this: "I know this, shouldn't I be in a hurry? ”
"It's here, guest officer, please," the guy took Zhou Hao and the two to a quaint courtyard, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Zhou Hao. "This is the formation jade pendant, please guest. ”
After entering the courtyard, he has his own Lingzhi to take care of other things, Zhou Hao continued to inquire with the guys, you can tell me about the situation.
Taking the medium-grade spirit stone thrown by Zhou Hao, the guy smiled and hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency is like this, here for more than 30,000 miles, ordinary monks will go southwest to Tianyi Valley, Wind Whistling Mountain, Diyin Pond, Chilong Bay and then turn east through Wolf Jueyu, and finally enter the northern part of Tianyan Sect along the northern edge of the Ghost Shen Abyss, this road is moderately dangerous, and it is nearly 30,000 miles more than crossing the mountain range directly from here, but basically they all go together. ”
Zhou Hao knew that these places were all on the map given by Chu Changshan, and this was what Zhou Hao planned to go.
