In the year 398 of the Qing National Calendar, in late autumn, at the foot of Dali Mountain in the west.

A muddy river full of mud and sand struggles to move through the edge of the forest near the end of the yellow season. The weather was colder than last year, and what should have been lush was now bleak.

There is a mountain village called Zhao Village three or five miles away. The people who live there are all surnamed Zhao, and there are so many generations.

This year's late autumn is comparable to last year's early winter, and the vegetation that should have seen dark green has withered yellow, and even wild animals are rarely seen.

In the plan to reserve for the winter and make up for the lack of rations, the tenant farmer Zhao Erbao and his family of four set out together and walked a few miles with a basket on their backs before they saw some traces of wild vegetables. That's right, they're here to dig wild vegetables. There is an urgent shortage of food rations, so we can only use wild vegetables to fill the emergency to fill the stomach.

A middle-aged couple, a little girl who looks like a 10-year-old, and a thinner boy who is 4 or 5 years old.

Zhao Erbao and Zhao were dressed in coarse linen and had a lot of patches, but the two children were still barefoot, black and thin. The four of them, without exception, had yellow faces and thin muscles, had been malnourished for a long time, and shivered in the cold. After walking for a few miles, except for the middle-aged men, they were all out of breath.

"Hold on any longer-" Zhao Erbao looked at his wife and children distressedly, gritted his teeth and said.

"Daddy, the dog is tired and hungry—"

"Dog, wait, I'll cook for you when I go back!"

“――”

More than two hours later, the various wild vegetables in the back basket were not more than half, but the family was tired. The couple looked at a pair of children and had a lot of worries.

"Daddy, Daddy. Someone, someone—"Not far from the river." The timid screams of the little boy who slipped there at some point broke the heavy atmosphere.

"Dogs. Come back, who told you to go to the river?" Zhao Shi saw that his youngest son had arrived at the river, and he was immediately anxious.

The little boy heard his mother's harsh reprimand, and retreated in a panic, the little girl was close, and she was bolder, so she ran over first, and was stunned when she saw it, and stopped a few meters away.

The little girl shouted, "Dad." It's a dead man!"

"Lan Lan, don't come close!"

Zhao Erbao and Zhao immediately rushed over. Zhao hugged the little boy in his arms, and Zhao Erbao grabbed his daughter Zhao Lanlan. There was a man in coarse linen clothes who was covered in mud crawling by the river, motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but judging by his size, he should be a man.

What to do?

Zhao glanced at her husband and whispered uneasily, "If you are in charge, why don't you go back?"

There are more dead people in the village. Even if it was an outsider who died, it was a big deal, and it was a big deal.

Zhao Erbao hesitated, but also had an idea.

Now Qing and Qi are at war. The world of the two countries was in turmoil, and the war was continuous, which increased the excesses and miscellaneous taxes of the people. Many people struggle to survive and sell their sons and daughters. The grass falls for the coward, and the rod rises. This is a man-made disaster. Even in this remote Zhao Village, there are still people who have sent back news from the outside world. Not only that, but the climate has been getting colder and colder every year in recent years, and crop yields have decreased, which is another natural disaster.

After natural and man-made disasters, the life of ordinary people is even more difficult.

Just when Zhao Erbao and his wife were about to leave, the little boy Goudan spoke: "Dad, mother, is the uncle dead?"

Zhao hurriedly said: "Dog, our family can't save it, just treat it as if you haven't seen it, you are not allowed to tell it!"

The dog was puzzled: "Mother, why?"

Zhao Erbao sighed and said, "That person is estimated to be dead." ”

At this time, the little girl Zhao Lanlan looked at it and hesitated: "Dad, mother, what if you don't die?"

"This—"

"Dead girl!"

Perhaps it was the words of the little girl and the little boy that moved Zhao Erbao, Zhao Erbao thought about it, and let the family stand in the distance, holding the sickle in their hands, approaching step by step, full of vigilance. Zhao was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he couldn't be the master, and he muttered 'what to do, what to do'.

This person is indeed not pretending, Zhao Erbao carefully checked it, this person was dressed in linen and coarse cloth, and he seemed to be from an ordinary background, but he had starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and his complexion was fair, and he did not look like a poor family. At this moment, the sackcloth on this person's body was soaked with blood, and there was a smell of blood, and when he opened his shirt, he saw that a foot-long wound was oblique on his chest, up to his shoulders and neck, and down to the dantian, and he could see the bones deeply, and even the internal organs. However, when his fingers were snorting, there was heat, but it was a little faint.

"He's still alive!" Zhao Erbao was stunned and shouted

By the time Zhang Weidong woke up, it was already three days later.

The dimly lit thatched hut, the hot earthen kang, the earthen walls and broken windows, the thatch under the body as a mattress, and the thin and tattered cotton quilt covering the body.

Touching his chest, Zhang Weidong sat up.

The large wound on his chest was gone, and from the neck down to the dantian area, only a long dark red line was left on the skin. However, this is only superficial healing. was slashed by the Great Monk of the Yuan Extreme Realm, and was almost cut in half. The Yuan Extreme Realm Great Cultivator's True Qi was transformed into a powerful True Yuan, and the 'Yuan Extreme True Yuan' destroyed the wound all the time and prevented healing. And his powerful and peculiar physical body is also constantly wearing down the other party's true element, slightly superior.

The injury was only a minor issue.

Bursts of pain from the dantian and the divine soul that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made his face even paler.

This is a serious injury!

was first slashed by the Great Cultivator of the Yuan Extreme Realm, injuring the root, and then escaping for his life, and being injured on top of injury. Especially the dantian was almost cut in half, and the true qi almost escaped clean. Fortunately, in the Danhu Lake, which is about to dry up, a three-leaf green and green bud is intact. This is Zhang Weidong's 'Jindan', because of its standing, a large piece of true qi was forcibly left in Dan Lake. But that's just one of them.

His soul was also hit hard, and he fell into a semi-deep sleep of self-preservation.

True Qi can't be used, divine consciousness can't be used, Lingfu and Qiankun Ring can't communicate, even the physical body is severely damaged, and ninety percent of the potential is used to repair the injury. In a word, he is like a mortal at the moment, and the strength he can use is dozens of times larger than that of ordinary people. In the case of further repairing himself, without replenishment, he will become weaker and weaker!

Eventually, perhaps, he will be so weak that a child can knock him to the ground. Perhaps, worse than that. Or even die.

The unprecedented 'weakness' made it difficult for Zhang Weidong to adapt for a while.

That sense of crisis. made Zhang Weidong's heart very urgent

"Chen Qi!"

"Yuan Extreme Realm Great Cultivator Wu Tianzhu!"

Zhang Weidong's injury was completely due to Chen Qi and Wu Tianzhu.

A hundred years of the Nether. The envoy 'Zhao Muyi' used a special spiritual weapon to open a passage to the upper realm at a relatively peaceful time in a certain period of the Nine Heavens River, and led hundreds of Jindan monks upstream, to a void hall.

There, everyone saw many huge interstellar teleportation arrays, which were very mysterious.

There, more and more monks from the other nether realms appeared, more and more. Humans, monsters, and alien races, all kinds of strange, there are tens of thousands of people.

Also there, many elders of powerful sects of the first-class True Cultivation Star descended, one by one walking in the void, with a strong aura, all of them were great cultivators of the Yuan Extreme Realm, and even the powerhouses of the three major Void Cities in the end. There are more than 40 people!

In front of so many Yuan Extreme Realm Great Cultivators, many 'Jindan' level cultivators felt weak for the first time. Weak like ants, they can be wiped out with a snap of their fingers.

All around is a void, the light is gone, and the pitch black is terrifying. The ability to fly in the air. It seems to be deprived, knocked from the sky to the ground. Zhang Weidong sensed the perfection of the laws of heaven and earth. It's unbelievable that it surpasses the Demon Tomb.

I'm afraid that only the Great Cultivator of the Yuan Extreme Realm can become the master of the sky. Or even across the void.

However, these great monks are here to accept disciples.

A monk who has ascended to the nether. They are all people with excellent qualifications, fairy roots or understanding, and heart, and there is no one in ten thousand. Now that the people in the Nether Realm want to be enriched into the various sects and forces, many great monks can't hold it back, and they are gearing up to snatch the disciples.

Before coming, Zhang Weidong calculated by himself, and the road ahead was fierce, so he made some arrangements.

In addition to the Cloud Stepping Beast and the Golden Thread Turtle of the Great Perfection of Demon Beasts, Zhang Qingqing, the 'goddaughter' of the Qingluan bloodline, as well as Wuxue, Zhao Lin, Wushuang, King Ning, and Chongjiang Crane used the mysterious purple liquid refining body carved in stone to their heart's content, and their combat power was comparable to that of the Great Perfection of Demon Beasts.

Then, in addition to King Xiaoyao, Hong Ye, Suyue Fairy, Baixia Fairy, Qin Liehuo, Lin Xiaotian, Li Wangyue, Formation Master Cheng Ping, Formation Master Lin Dongyu, Formation Master Zha Anli, Li Thirteen, Ye's Ancestor, Dragon Tea Master, Fuxiu Tea Master, Muye Tong and more than a dozen people were also rewarded and cultivated, and the refining realm was raised to a level comparable to the 'middle stage of Jindan'.

Under the dojo gate, there is no one whose strength is below the 'middle stage of Jindan'.

Zhang Weidong himself will not treat himself badly, and his physical body has been promoted again, and he has encountered a big bottleneck again. This is also one of the important ways for him to escape from the sword of the Great Cultivator of the Yuan Extreme Realm.

And that's not all.

Wuxue, Zhao Lin, Zhou Ruoran, Wushuang, Ning Wang, and Chongjiang He each had a low-level spirit sword. These six people are what Zhang Weidong values the most. Among them, Zhou Ruoran was accepted as a personal disciple by the ancient goddess 'Her Royal Highness the Princess' because of her pure yin body, so she was given Zhang Weidong's spiritual weapon.

Wuxue, Zhao Lin, Suyue Fairy, Baixia Fairy, Ye's ancestor grandson, and Fuxiu Tea Master also worshiped under the door of the ancient goddess 'Her Royal Highness the Princess' because of Zhang Weidong's favor, and became a registered disciple, and since then, the favor has been cleared. With the protection of this 'Her Royal Highness the Princess', who is arrogant and has recovered her strength no less than the Yuan Ji Realm, he is more relieved. They ended up going to the first-class True Star 'True King'.

King Xiaoyao was taken away by the ancestors of the same clan and went to the first-class cultivation star 'Three Male Stars'.

King Ning, Chongjiang He, Hong Ye, Qin Liehuo, Li Thirteen, Dragon Tea Master, Mu Yetong, Lin Xiaotian, Li Wangyue, and Cheng Ping were snatched away by several sects of the first-class Xiuzhen Star 'My One Star'.

Among them, there are also extremely dazzling ones.

Gongsun Wushuang had a medium immortal root and an extremely high level of comprehension, but he was accepted as a personal disciple by a great monk of the 'Human King City' of the Three Void Cities on behalf of a deputy city lord.

Mei Danqing of medium sengen!

Pure Yang Body Hua Tianji!

Xuanyuan sky!

Only twenty-nine people entered the Three Void Cities.

However, the most eye-catching thing was actually the Heavenly Wolf, who was accepted as a personal disciple by the City Lord of the Demon Emperor City, one of the three major Void Cities.

It seems that being able to enter the Three Void Cities is the supreme glory and future.

And those who worship the four first-class cultivation stars are only two thousand. Most of them had entered the second-rank True Cultivation Star, and the number was huge.

In contrast, Zhang Weidong's arrangement for the people around him. It's a good way out

In fact, in the Nether, there are not many decades to come. Zhang Weidong felt it, so he preached the world. He traveled through several immortal domains, comprehended many laws, and entered the 'middle stage of Jindan' in one fell swoop. However, under the dojo who followed him to listen to the sermon, the harvest became less and less, and none of them were promoted to the middle stage of Jindan.

At that time, Zhang Weidong and everyone really made one thing clear, everyone's Tao is really different. Therefore, I want to go further down this road. To break through the Jindan and achieve the supreme yuan extreme realm, you must rely on yourself. They can't blindly rely on Zhang Weidong, because their own accumulation is completely insufficient.

It's just that I didn't expect that the people around me have entered the superior sect, and Zhang Weidong's own experience is even more dangerous than expected.

He rejected the solicitation of some sects, and finally spent high-grade Yuan Crystal Stones, chose a path, and left the interstellar teleportation array.

But Chen Qi's murderous heart does not die. actually invited a Yuan Extreme Realm Great Cultivator to chase and kill him on the spot. Flee with a sword, and that knife is also a spiritual weapon, driven by the full strength of the great cultivator of the Yuan Extreme Realm, and its power is beyond Zhang Weidong's imagination.

Under the knife. The Ten Mile Mountains are split!

Zhang Weidong's only piece of spiritual armor was destroyed and he was severely damaged.

Seriously injured and escaped, changing his breath and outfit again and again. The hundreds of precious top-grade Yuan Crystals that had almost exhausted the reserves, spanning more than a dozen Xiuzhen Stars. From the first-class Xiuzhen Star to the fourth-class Xiuzhen Star, he fled to an abandoned Terran planet in the nearest neighborhood. Ruined the interstellar teleportation array on this end. I finally got my life back.

Zhang Weidong speculated that this planet was supposed to be a Xiuzhen star, but later its vitality dried up and it was abandoned.

As soon as the teleportation array at this end is destroyed, it is equivalent to falling into a desperate situation.

Monks from other planets can't get in, and people here can't get out. Unless someone crosses the void!

Will the other party be able to cross the Void?

That doesn't know.

In fact, Zhang Weidong didn't know that even if the Great Cultivator of the Yuan Extreme Realm wanted to cross the void in the flesh, it was extremely dangerous. He destroyed the interstellar teleportation array, but instead saved his life.

At that time, when walking through the mountains and forests of a certain place, many people were fighting outside the mountains and forests, and the corpses were all over the field. Due to the severity of his injuries, he finally lost his strength after traveling a hundred miles, collapsed at the edge of a forest, and finally had time to change into coarse linen clothes, hid a long robe in the woods, and then fainted.

Until Zhang Weidong met Zhao Erbao's family and was rescued.

The room was stuffy, Zhang Weidong endured the discomfort, and pushed open the firewood door under the kang.

The sky was gloomy and dim, and as soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I immediately felt the cold air blowing through, and the surrounding leaves, half-yellow, seemed to be in late autumn and early winter.

A simple fenced yard with stone grinders, piles of lumber, a few native chickens and chicken coops, a half-sized yellow dog, and a thatched hut next to it. Not far away, in addition to the fields, there seem to be people, but there are no people, and it is deserted.

In the thatched hut next to it, there were four breathing sounds, and someone was talking. On second listening, the content of the conversation seemed to be related to oneself

In the low thatched hut, except for a few large vats, a square low table, a few farm tools, a broken quilt, and other bargains, a hungry and cold house.

The fire flickered in the stove.

On the kang, a pair of children got into the quilt and watched the adults talk quietly and obediently.

"The head of the house, seeing that winter is about to begin, and the wild vegetables can't be picked for a few days, even if they are all pickled, plus rations, they are originally insufficient, and now there is one more person, and I don't know when I will wake up, what can I do?" Zhao sighed worriedly.

“――”

"Or, report this person to Li Zheng, our family can save his life, but we really can't support him-" Zhao lowered his voice again.

"Mother, you can't report it to 'Zhao Papi', he's not a good person!" another crisp and immature female voice.

"Okay, don't talk about it, wait until he wakes up. I saw it, his wound recovered quickly, and he is estimated to be waking up soon" Zhao Erbao made a final decision.

The head of the family spoke, and although Zhao hummed unwillingly, he had to accept it.

"Dad, mother, I'll go see if my uncle is awake!" was a young boy's immature voice.

As soon as the chai door opened, two small figures ran out one after another, and then they were both stunned. Zhang Weidong was looking at them with a smile on his face. The little girl was stared at shyly, lowered her head, and was cramped.

"Father, mother, uncle is awake, uncle is awake!" the little boy wiped his snot and immediately turned around and ran back to the house.

Zhang Weidong's waking up made Zhao Erbao and his wife breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Weidong and Zhao Erbao had a long talk and thanked them in person, which can be regarded as knowing this family.

Zhao Erbao, Zhao Shi, sister Zhao Lanlan, and younger brother Zhao Goudan.

This is Gyeongkook.

Now Qingguo is at war with another bordering Qi country, and the world is unstable. And Zhao Village, located in Wulin County, Ren County, in the west of Qingguo, a corner of Huangsha Town, is 400 miles away from the border between the two countries.

Only then did Zhang Weidong know that he was groggy and had actually run hundreds of miles.

Zhao Village is a moderately wealthy village, at least no one has starved to death. At the same time, it is located in the mountains, so it has temporarily avoided the scourge of war, but no one knows how long it will be peaceful.

In addition to the Qing Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom, there are other countries, and this planet is a mortal world.

There are official offices, gangs, and martial arts sects, but there are no immortal cultivation sects, and there are no demon beasts.

This was all discovered by Zhang Weidong from Zhao Erbao's mouth.

Zhang Weidong's identity is a fabricated refugee identity who has fled from the famine. Zhang Weidong mentioned the national battlefield, and the Zhao family did not doubt it, so they believed it.

Zhang Weidong didn't ask more. Zhao Village is relatively peaceful, far from the border, which is more suitable for him to recuperate. As for self-preservation in the future, I will look back and think about it.

At dinner, Zhang Weidong did not refuse the invitation of the Zhao family. The gruel made of rice bran and chestnut rice mixed with wild vegetables is just a bowl, but everyone licks it cleanly. That night, Zhang Weidong still occupied the thatched hut that belonged to the sister and brother to rest.

"The conditions are too bad, we have to find a way to change it-" (To be continued......
