Chapter 52: The Cursed Continent
"It's normal for the little brother not to know, it's not so much a curse as an abandoned continent. Mo Chuan's expression was a little helpless, after all, he lived here, but he didn't expect it to be an existence abandoned by the world.
"Please also ask the lord of the city to make it clear. Lin Feng could feel that he was about to figure out the true situation of this West Wind Continent.
"This thing starts from the time of antiquity. So Mo Chuan began to tell Lin Feng the story of the West Wind Continent.
According to the existing fragmentary documents, it turns out that in ancient times, the West Wind Continent was still the center of this world, and there was no Nine Xuan Continent at that time. However, I don't know what the reason is, which led to a tragic war between immortal cultivators in ancient times, and countless immortal cultivators have since lost their traces, leaving only some broken ruins.
This layer of barrier around the current Westwind Continent also appeared from that time. Since the appearance of this barrier, the entire West Wind Continent seems to have been sealed, and it is impossible for everyone's cultivation to exceed the Nine Rank Martial King, even if it is someone who originally cultivated to exceed the level of the Martial King, they will automatically be demoted to the Nine Rank Martial King.
So these monks who were forced to be demoted tried every means to remove this barrier, but no matter what method was used, this barrier always existed here. But it turned out that this barrier would have a crack at regular intervals, and after passing through this crack, there would be no downgrade.
But on the other side of this crack, there is no suitable place for people to live, so these people try to make a place suitable for people to live in. In the end, these people were given the inheritance left by antiquity by chance.
Through the secret techniques of these inheritances, these people worked together to forcibly split the West Wind Continent and moved a part of the land to the outside of that rift, so that the current Nine Xuan Continent was born. Those people left the West Wind Continent en masse with their relatives and subordinates, and since then they have taken root in the Nine Xuan Continent, and those who did not belong to them have been left behind in the West Wind Continent.
These people, who have been inherited from the ancient era, later established their own power in the Jiuxuan Continent, which is now the three major sects of one palace and one meeting.
The first palace refers to the Immortal Palace, because the cultivation techniques obtained by the palace master of the Immortal Palace at that time were the strongest among these inheritances, so the overall strength of the Immortal Palace was the most powerful in the Nine Xuan Continent.
But the people in Asgard are very mysterious, unless you show the unique characteristics of Asgard, even if he stands in front of you at the moment, you don't know if he is a person from Asgard. Therefore, there is very little information about Asgard, and only some people who accidentally offend the people of Asgard can be remembered when they are punished.
One meeting refers to the Alchemist's Guild, which is more special. Because the person who established the Alchemist Guild got the inheritance of the Ancient Danzong, and a new profession in the Nine Xuan Continent was derived from this inheritance, that is, the alchemist.
Alchemist is a very scarce existence in the entire Nine Xuan Continent, if you want to become an alchemist, you must have a specific condition, that is, soul perception, which is the primary condition for becoming an alchemist, but there are very few such people, so alchemists are so scarce.
But there is a good saying, rare things are expensive, and this sentence can also be used on alchemists. Because the elixir refined by the alchemist is something that everyone dreams of, whether it is to cure injuries, detoxify, or even improve cultivation, it is all something that a single pill can do.
Therefore, there is such an unspoken rule on the Jiuxuan Continent, it is better to offend the Immortal Palace than to offend the Alchemist Guild. Because once you offend the Alchemist Guild, it is equivalent to offending the cultivators of the entire Nine Xuan Continent, which is of course even more terrible than offending the Immortal Palace.
However, the alchemist has a disadvantage, that is, the combat effectiveness of the ability is not high, because the alchemist has a special cultivation technique, but this exercise is mainly to improve the level of the alchemist, and it can refine a higher level of elixir, and it cannot increase its own combat effectiveness. The alchemist can also forcibly improve his cultivation level through the elixir, but when he encounters a cultivator who has the same cultivation, the alchemist is estimated to be unable to stop even a move.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and not all alchemists are not high in cultivation. There was once a talented genius in the Alchemist Guild, who not only reached the fifth-grade alchemist, but even his own cultivation was a sixth-grade martial saint.
However, geniuses are always easy to die, because Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and this genius finally disappeared without a trace for unknown reasons. During that time, the entire Alchemist Guild was like crazy, and even used the Seven-Rank Barrier Breaking Pill as a reward to find out the whereabouts of that genius.
You must know that the Seven-Rank Barrier Breaking Pill can increase the chance of a Martial Saint breaking through, how many people have gone crazy looking for that genius for this pill, but unfortunately they didn't find it in the end. However, many people suspected that it might be the hands of the people in the Immortal Palace, otherwise it would be impossible to make a fifth-grade alchemist with a sixth-grade martial saint cultivation disappear so quietly.
Since that genius, there has never been such a genius in the Alchemist Guild, of course, it is possible that this lesson has been learned, once such a genius appears, it must be protected tightly.
And the three major sects are now the Haoyue Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Ghost Shadow Sect. In fact, the three major sects all belonged to the same sect in ancient times, but at that time, it was because there were three people who got the inheritance of this sect at the same time, and these three people were not so harmonious, so they became the three major sects today.
"So, the West Wind Continent was abandoned by those who surpassed the Martial King level at the beginning?" After listening to Mo Chuan's story, Lin Feng asked.
"That's right, those people were originally the most powerful beings in the West Wind Continent, but when they left, they only brought people related to themselves, and everyone else was abandoned here by them. Mo Chuan's eyes also showed a hint of anger.
"Then why don't the people here go through this crack to the Nine Xuan Continent by themselves?" Lin Feng was also a little puzzled.
"There is a reason why the people who stayed did not follow the past, one is because most of them have enmity with those people, and the other part of the people is that after seeing them get the inheritance, they themselves stay and want to find the inheritance, and people are greedy. Mo Chuan said and shook his head.
"Have these people who stayed behind found other inheritances?"
"Yes, there is, but they are all incomplete inheritances, and I haven't even found a complete set of exercises. Hundreds of years have passed, and only the first hall master of our Demon Soul Hall has obtained a relatively complete Demon God Determination Technique, but the name of this exercise is easy to be misunderstood, so he changed its name to Demon Soul Determination and established the Demon Soul Palace. ”
"Then why didn't the first Demon Soul Hall Lord leave here?"
"It's not that the hall master didn't want to leave, he was ready to leave when he got this exercise, but he didn't think about it, that crack actually rejected him, and he was not convinced and wanted to break through, but he was seriously injured by that crack. Later, I learned that I had to cultivate to reach the peak of the Nine Rank Martial King in order to pass through that barrier. ”
"It's so magical, after so many years, hasn't there been a person who has cultivated to reach the Ninth Rank Martial King?"
"Little brother, I'm talking about the peak of the Nine-Rank Martial King, not the Nine-Rank Martial King. My current cultivation is only at the peak of the Eighth-Rank Martial King, and I am three small realms away from the peak of the Nine-Rank Martial King. Mo Chuan also shook his head and sighed.
"Isn't it difficult to reach the peak of the Nine Rank Martial King? Isn't it possible for cultivators to increase their lifespan, how can they not even reach the peak of the Nine Rank Martial King?" Lin Feng remembered that the Chaos Holy Spirit Decision, as well as the exercises he received from Dan Dan and handed over to his parents, could it be that the cultivation of people here did not increase his lifespan?
"Little brother, don't you know, although a cultivator's lifespan can be increased, it won't work in the West Wind Continent. ”
"Why doesn't it work?"
"It's all because of that barrier around the Westwind Continent. ”
"Huh?" Lin Feng said in surprise.
"I don't know what that barrier is, in addition to limiting the level of cultivation, even the life span of a monk will be limited, no matter what kind of cultivation a monk is, his lifespan cannot exceed two hundred years, and within two hundred years of cultivating to the peak of the Nine Rank Martial King, how difficult it is, even our first hall master, has only reached the limit of the consummation of the Nine Rank Martial King, and he died with hatred. ”
"How can it be so strange?"
"yes, it's all this weird barrier. ”
"But City Lord, your cultivation is already at the peak of the Eighth Rank Martial King, can't you reach the peak of the Ninth Rank Martial King in the remaining days?"
"Little brother, do you know how many people on the West Wind Continent have reached the Nine Rank Martial King in the past few thousand years since our first hall master? There are no less than a hundred people, but none of them have been able to cultivate to the peak of the Nine Rank Martial King in their lifetime. ”
"But I look at the current appearance of the city lord, it should only be half a hundred, can't he cultivate to the peak of the Nine Rank Martial King for more than a hundred years?"
"Little brother, what you think is too simple, don't look at me now at the age of forty-nine I am already at the peak of the eighth-rank martial king, but that is because of the effect of the Demon Soul Determination Method, every hall master can pass on his half-life cultivation to the next generation, so when I started to cultivate, I was already the cultivation of the seventh-rank martial artist, and it took me nearly thirty years to reach the peak of the eighth-rank martial king, so I can imagine how difficult it is to cultivate here, so I was so surprised to hear that the little brother reached the third-rank martial artist at the age of sixteen. ”
"I see, no wonder I've heard before that the leaders of the other four major gangs are not your opponents. ”
"Yes, in fact, the Demon Soul Hall was not originally one of the five major gangs, it was all imposed on us by the three major sects. Originally, there were only three major forces in the West Wind Continent, and our Demon Soul Hall was one of them, and the other two were the Wind Thunder Pavilion and the Beast God Valley. And the Crazy Tiger Gang and the Golden Lion Hall both offended the three major sects in the West Wind Continent, and they were chased and killed to escape for their lives. Our three major forces did not dare to take them in, so they established two major gangs on their own, and finally they were collectively called the five major gangs by the three major sects. ”
"I didn't expect the five major gangs to be taken by the three major sects. Lin Feng was also very surprised, he had obtained the memory from the fake Xie Qiong before, and there was no information about this superior level at all.
However, what Lin Feng couldn't figure out was how he didn't encounter the barrier that Mo Chuan said when he came from the Mixed Yuan Continent, which was very strange. But Lin Feng didn't dare to ask Mo Chuan, so he could only press down this trace of doubt and find an opportunity to find an answer in the future.
