Chapter 527: Terrifying Conjecture
By now, Shang Xia already had a general understanding of the Tongyou Academy, or the entire Tongyou City, cultivating to a high-level combat power above the Four Heavens.
But when Shang Xia saw that the four people in front of him were sent to the Manyu Continent land, he had already determined in his heart that Kou Chongxue was probably going to give everything he had to gain something on the Manyu Continent land.
Now, in the Four Heavens where Tongyou Academy sits in the Two Realms War Domain, I am afraid that there is only one Gai Qingzhu left.
In addition to Liu Zhiyuan, the deputy mountain chief, there is only one Song You left in Tongyou Academy, who is still injured and doesn't know if it's good or not.
In Tongyou City, there is still a Ji Yu in the Ji family, and the Yun family also has a Yun Yichen who has not arrived, as for the merchant's business, I don't know if the advance to the Four Heavens has succeeded until now, and there is also a Shang Pei who is far away in Taihang Mountain.
In addition, there is also a Zhao Hengchun, since the end of the battle between the two realms, there has been no news of him, and I don't know if he is in retreat to heal, or if he was sent by Kou Chongxue to send some secret messenger.
Along with the four of them, there were also a number of various material resources, a considerable part of which were all kinds of healing and restoring potions.
It is said that for the sake of this batch of potions, Mr. Ge Muchen, the only fourth-order great pharmacist in Tongyou Academy, had to go out of the mountain again.
After receiving this batch of materials, Liu Qinglan first selected the best quality fourth-order healing potion and personally delivered it to Yun Jing, who was in retreat and healing.
Then Sect Liu brought out the good news, and after Deputy Mountain Chief Yun personally determined that her recovery time from her injuries could be reduced by at least half.
With the help of this batch of high-grade potions, the high-level martial artists who were injured in the Tongyou Residency were able to quickly regain their combat strength.
However, Liu Qinglan obviously will not waste all her time on healing, let alone wait for everyone to heal from their injuries before taking action.
After resettled Bu Jingshuang and the others for a while, Liu Qinglan had already begun to send people out of the station guarded by a large array, and began to regain control of the situation in the surrounding areas of the station.
Because there is a spirit gourd suspension and deterrence above the station of Tongyou Academy, at least within a radius of one or two hundred miles around, no one dares to attack Tongyou Academy at this time.
As for Shang Xia, the place he was going to was even farther.
When Shang Xia first came out of the station, he was quite careful along the way, for fear that someone would set up an ambush to kill him.
After he walked calmly all the way out hundreds of miles away, he suddenly understood, no matter which force came here, everyone's main purpose was to carve up this barbaric Yuzhou land, where would there be time to spend all the time in Tongyou Station?
In fact, the previous surprise attack launched by the aboriginal forces against the Tongyou Warriors had seriously delayed the progress of the Tongyou Warriors' attempt to seize the Barbarian Yuzhou Land.
In a sense, their goal has already been achieved.
Before, I was just thinking of picking up the cheap, to see if there was a chance to hurt the water dog in the middle of the vein, and it would be better if I could even take the opportunity to stew it with a spoonful.
It's a pity that in the end, it was strongly disrupted by Shang Xia, and the jade sword in the spirit gourd floated into the air, which was a situation where the fish died at any time, and all parties were naturally frightened back.
Since there is no longer the possibility of taking advantage, there is naturally no reason for people to continue to stay here, Shang Xia was too cautious before.
Moreover, Shang Xia thought to himself that with the range that his divine sense could perceive now, as well as the sharpness of his perception, it would probably not be easy to avoid his perception and ambush him.
Shang Xia was originally curious about how they would keep the broken continent as intact as possible and tow it to the Cangyu Realm once the Barbarian Continent finally disintegrated.
However, before leaving from the station, after the tasks assigned by Liu Qinglan and Chu Jia, Shang Xia realized that in recent years, they had been secretly driving the various formation bases they had refined into the depths of the earth along the leylines.
With the location of the Tongyou station as the core, every hundred and ten miles away, a formation base will be driven into the depths of the ground along the leyline, and at the same time, it will maintain a certain connection with the core of the station formation center.
In this way, it has expanded step by step, and after two or three years, the Tongyou station has laid out a large-scale leyline network covering a radius of 1,000 to 1,200 miles on the land of Manyuzhou.
According to Chu Jia's calculations, once the entire Manyu Continent disintegrates, the Tongyou Station will be able to use this sparse network of leylines secretly laid out as a fulcrum, and it will be able to maintain a land island with a radius of 1,500 to 2,000 miles.
And now this range can probably be regarded as the sphere of influence controlled by the Tongyou Station.
If it is not damaged too much in the process of traction at that time, then after this land island falls into the Cangyu Realm, the area of Youzhou can at least double by nearly double.
At that time, the area of the entire Youzhou will be restored to nearly two-fifths of the area of the old Youzhou, which is already close to half.
You must know that a considerable part of the area of today's Youzhou is still counted above the Chiba Mountain Range, and aside from half of the Chiba Mountain Range, the area of Youzhou controlled by Tongyou Academy is actually smaller.
Of course, this is the ideal situation, but it may not be that much.
This is also because Tongyou Academy entered the market too late.
According to Chu Jia's rough calculations, those powerful Holy Land Sects in the Cangyu Realm, because of sufficient preparation in advance, may occupy the area of the land island within a radius of at least two thousand five hundred li, or even three thousand li.
Of course, as the area continues to expand, the lower the degree of land island maintenance, which requires more formations to be broken into, and a huge amount of material resources are consumed, even those Holy Land sects need to pay a heavy price if they want to support such consumption.
Tongyou Academy has a shallow background, even if it knows the news as early as other Holy Land sects, it is impossible to have so many material resources to consume.
In fact, even those Holy Land Sects, after maintaining the area of the land island within a radius of two or three thousand miles, it was impossible to expand any further.
The purpose of Shang Xia's trip was to secretly inspect the locations where the formation foundation had been planted in the lineage, and at the same time, he also needed to expel and even hunt down those who tried to destroy the formation base after discovering it.
These people may be the Quadruple Heavenly Martial Artists of other Holy Land Sects, but more likely they are the indigenous martial artists of the Barbarian Continent.
Although only Yun Jing, Shang Bo, and Chu Jia knew the specific location of the formation base laid out in the Tongyou station, and it was as secret as possible in the process of arrangement, as long as the people with a heart followed the leylines to check carefully, it was still possible to find the location of the formation base and destroy it.
Of course, this one may take longer.
After all, it is easy to bury mines and difficult to clear them.
This is also the reason why Yun Jing dragged on for more than a month in the station before sending Shang Xia out to inspect the location of these formation base nodes.
Shang Xia inspected the location of these formations, and naturally it was impossible to follow the leyline map given by Chu Jia and search and inspect them one by one in order.
In this way, his patrol route fell into the eyes of those who had a heart, and it was very likely that he would be able to deduce the specific location where these formation bases were buried.
He just kept in mind the location of the formation base on the leyline map, roughly selected a direction, and then flew back and forth irregularly, while taking into account the inspection of the formation base on several veins.
With the strength of his divine sense, he was often able to detect whether the burial site of the formation foundation was complete and whether it had been damaged or not, often in the mid-air more than ten miles away.
If there was not the slightest trace of destruction, he would not even pass by the location of the formation base, but directly skipped it from a distance, so that no one would have deduced the location of the formation base because of this.
Within three hundred miles of the station, the unknown formation base in the leylines had hardly been damaged, perhaps because it was closer to the Tongyun station.
When Shang Xia patrolled to a distance of about five hundred miles, he could often see some deep pits dug at random, all over the vicinity of a certain leyline, but fortunately, most of them were not in the exact location of the formation base.
And judging from the excavation traces left on the ground, it is obvious that the person who did it will not be a high-level martial artist above the Fourth Heaven, and it is unlikely that even a third-order martial artist will do it, but it is more like the work of some first- and second-order martial artists.
At this time, there are no foreign martial artists from the two realms of Cangling and Cangyu, and there are basically no low-level martial artists below the fourth order, so these people who dig the pit are obviously indigenous martial artists from the land of Barbarian Yuzhou.
Wherever Shang Xia passed, a violent wind swept around him, rolling up the mound of earth on the ground and filling in the deep pit dug out of the ground.
In this way, when he came to a distance of about six hundred miles from the station, Shang Xia Fei's figure in mid-air suddenly froze, and he found that there was a formation base hidden deep underground here.
Shang Xia's divine sense instantly expanded to the extreme, and almost all of the range within a radius of fifty miles could be included in his perception.
If the surrounding area was really not aware of the existence of high-level martial artists, there were several ordinary people's villages scattered among them.
Shang Xia did not do this to find the murderer who destroyed the formation base, but to make sure that no one noticed him, and then re-enter the new formation base into the ground.
Although these formations need to be driven into the depths of the leylines every other distance, this distance is not fixed.
With a limit of 100 miles, as long as the base of the formation is penetrated within 20 miles before and after, it can be effective.
However, after taking out a made formation base from the Qiankun bag, Shang Xia thought about it, but threw the new formation base back into the deep pit.
A loud roar was followed by a muffled sound, and under the slight tremor of the ground, this formation base sank more than ten zhang again after sinking to the bottom of the deep pit, and then stayed in the leyline.
Since the formation base here had been discovered and destroyed, no one would have thought that Shang Xia would re-enter the new formation base deeper into the ground.
After that, Shang Xia accelerated his inspection of this area, and even went to several villages to check, only to find that the villages had long been abandoned.
And judging from the traces left in the deserted village, the villagers here have not only moved away for a long time, but also walked quite calmly, and there is basically nothing left of what can be moved.
After walking the distance of hundreds of miles from the station, Shang Xia finally solved a small part of a doubt that had always haunted his heart.
That is, once the moment of the collapse and disintegration of the Manyu Continent, what should the aborigines who originally lived on the Barbarian Continent land do?
Regardless of the high-level martial artists among the aborigines, even those hundreds of millions of ordinary people, what should they do?
Is it just waiting for the end to come?
Even Shang Xia didn't dare to think about the final collapse of the Manyu Continent, whether it was because of the self-destruction of this continent, or whether it was the impetus of the two worlds of Cangyu and Cangling behind it.
Even his grandfather, Shang Bo, was in retreat at this time to accumulate strength, waiting for the Heaven and Earth Origin to be released after the collapse of the Barbarian Continent, and use it to impact the Fifth Heaven.
However, for now, it seems that Tongyou Station has specially chosen such a vast and sparsely populated remote area, and has moved the few aboriginal villages scattered here out of their control in advance.
In other words, the meaning of Tongyun Station is that we don't kill people, but we can't help the natives of this continent.
"Huh?"
Shang Xia didn't know how to feel for a while.
