Chapter 44: Entering the Vast Ancient Road
Outside, Phantom Yu, Ahri and the others saw that Lin Yan's body suddenly became real, and then he lost consciousness, and no matter how everyone called, they didn't respond. Fortunately, Qiwa firmly said that Lin Yan was fine, and it should be that his consciousness was out of the world.
Although this sounds incredible, after all, only those powerful and strongest can travel outside the world, what strength does Lin Yan have? At best, he is a Xuan Rank who has entered the bone refining stage, and he can even travel outside the world? This kind of adventure made Phantom Yu wonder if his talent was too bad, and all the good things were taken up by this guy who had not known him for a long time.
So everyone waited patiently, and after about half an hour, Lin Yan's aura suddenly soared, like an ancient giant beast that chose people to devour, the amazing aura came and went faster, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, like an illusion. Looking at it again, Lin Yan had already regained consciousness.
"Da Zongzi, are you okay?" Seeing Lin Yan wake up, Ahri was the first to go up and take his hand to check if his body was injured.
Lin Yan made a toned posture and said with a smile: "I'll be like a cow, I'll be fine." β
"What happened to you just now?" Phantom Feather gossip eyes flashed, snooping on Lin Yan, wondering if Lin Yan had encountered some evil spirits again.
"Alright, don't look at it. Can your gossip be as powerful as the clairvoyance of the Seven Babies? I just entered a strange space and did a strange thing. There's nothing to fuss about, you're going to be another adventure for me. β
Lin Yan decided to conceal the matter of the dark space, after all, that conjecture was a bit too appalling to say. With a wave of his big hand, a green vine appeared in the palm of his hand, which was the Thorn Flower Spirit.
As soon as the thorn flower spirit came out, it scurried around like a caterpillar, looking around in surprise, and at the same time communicating with Lin Yan in his mind.
"Is this the outside world? It's beautiful. This heaven and earth are so comfortable. β
"Is that what I am? Wow, they've grown so big. β
The Thorn Flower Spirit is like a happy child, crawling on the ground and vines, and it wants to feel this beautiful world unscrupulously, this is its new life!
Looking at the strange thorn flower spirit, Phantom Feather frowned, and let him recall the three thousand Dao books countless times, but there was no record of this creature.
"What is this?"
"You're the thingβ" The Thorn Flower Spirit turned back and grinned at the Phantom Feather, but in the eyes of everyone, it just kept swaying the head of the vine at one end against the Phantom Feather, and everyone couldn't hear its voice, only Lin Yan was listening to its complaints.
"As you can see, this is my new summon. But it's a little weird, don't worry about it. There may be many more of these strange summons in the future. Just get used to it!"
Lin Yan stretched out his hand to summon the Thorn Flower Spirit into his hand, and said in his heart: "This is the outside world, now you are free." β
The Thorn Flower Spirit was silent for a while before replying to Lin Yan: "I just came out and found out that I and the body are companions, and if I have the body to die, I will also die." Can you put my body into that space as your summon beast? I feel that your summoning space is amazing, and my body will grow better in it. β
Lin Yan waited for this sentence, although he didn't force the freedom of the thorn flower spirit, but he spent so much effort to get it out, naturally he didn't want to do it in vain, at this moment it took the initiative to include its ontology, Lin Yan naturally couldn't ask for it.
"Absolutely. Anyway, my space is big, and it's quite empty. β
So in the strange eyes of everyone, Lin Yan once again consumed a hundred life essences with a wave of his hand to bring the body of the Thorn Flower Spirit into the space, and placed it next to the Tree of Life, and the tree and vine were also harmonious.
"Big Zongzi, this little guy is so cute, can I touch it?" Ahri stared at the thorn flower spirit with wide eyes.
Without asking the opinion of the Thorn Flower Spirit, Lin Yan directly lifted it up like a caterpillar and handed it to Ahri. For Ahri's needs, Lin Yan is a hundred willing to meet them.
The Thorn Flower Spirit is also very docile. A few small green leaves swayed, rubbing Ahri's pink cheeks.
"Hehehe--" Ahri let out a silver bell-like laugh, "it's so cute, does it have a name for the big zongzi?"
"Eh--" Lin Yan really didn't know what to call it for a while, did he continue to call it rattan vine vegetables?
"Little Spirit, Little Spirit..."The immature voice of the Thorn Flower Spirit sounded in Lin Yanxin.
"You call it Xiao Ling!" Since the Thorn Flower Spirit asked for it, Lin Yan also followed its meaning.
"Little Spirit..."Ahri teased Little Spirit, muttering its name, and wondering how one of its vines could move!
"Okay, let's go!" Seeing Ahri having fun, Lin Yan helped her onto the white dragon horse, and said to Xiao Ling in his heart: "What are your plans?"
Xiao Ling was like a swimming dragon on Ahri's body, one moment wrapped around her arm, one moment around her waist, and one moment rubbed Ahri's cheek with green leaves, and then it went around Ahri's back, coiled into a circle to tie Ahri's green silk like a waterfall, and tied it into a lovely bow.
"If you don't leave, I'll be with you. Xiao Ling took root in Ahri's hair, and a bow with a beautiful blue skirt made Ahri look even more playful and cute.
Lin Yan's mind was full of black lines: "Aren't you going to see the world?" Seeing the green bow, how did Lin Yan feel that this rattan was a little colored? Could it be his own illusion?
"I don't know the way, and my body is with you, and if I leave my body for too long, it will wither. Anyway, you all have to move forward, just take me, I'm very good, I can help you protect this girl. "It's rare for Xiao Ling to say so many words in one breath, it seems that he has relied on Ahri's green silk.
Lin Yan didn't object, anyway, it was its own summoned beast, although it had its own independent consciousness, it was impossible to do anything that disobeyed its orders and original intentions. It's also safe to let it follow Ahri, which can be regarded as a good protection.
"Ahri, you see Xiao Ling likes you a lot. I'll give it to you, and it just so happens that you lack a turban to tie your hair, so let Xiao Ling replace it. β
"Thank you, Da Zongzi!" For the gift given by Lin Yan, Ahri has now learned to accept it unceremoniously, and she also likes Xiaoling very much. The group continued to move forward, only Phantom Feather fell behind the group, gritting his teeth.
"A bunch of guys who sprinkle dog food will let the beast demon kill you sooner or later. "Resentment...
......
As Xiao Ling's body was contained, more than half of the vines in this area were missing, and everyone stayed away from the Demon River case, and walked smoothly all the way to the vast ancient road.
The wide and rushing Demon River has flowed for thousands of years. I don't know if it suppressed the monsters against the sky, it traversed 100,000 demon mountains, crossed the vast land, rushed like the sea, along the bank of the Zhen Demon River, all the way forward about 300 miles.
There is a starry ancient road, the ancient road is not wide, but only two or three miles. The ancient road is overgrown with weeds, and both sides are overgrown with towering ancient trees, showing the traces of time. The ancient road winds, I don't know how many miles long, one end reaches the core of the demon mountain, and the other ends meander out along the basin of the Zhenyou River.
The ground of the ancient road is not known to be pale, with mottled dirt and moss left over by time. I don't know if this pale is a vast scale armor or what, but at a glance, the stars are shining, as if there is an endless treasure on it. Lin Yan and the others stood on the edge of the ancient road.
"This is the vast ancient road?" Lin Yan had a feeling of being deceived, didn't he say that it was as big as the starry sky? Didn't he say that he fed on the stars? Except for the flickering starlight on this ground and the aura of heaven and earth around him that was stronger than other places, Lin Yan didn't feel that there was anything magical here.
On the contrary, the vines and ancient trees and moss that are full of vicissitudes and decay look dilapidated!
"It's terrible to be uneducated!" Phantom Feather fiddled on the edge of the vast ancient road for a while, and with the change of Dao decision and gesture, Lin Yan saw that the starlight on the ancient road was even more dazzling, and the air on the pale ancient road was slowly rotating and distorting, and then a gate with flashing starlight emerged.
"This is..."
"Don't be surprised, get inside. Phantom Feather beckoned and stepped in first. Seeing the figure of Phantom Feather disappear into the Starlight Gate, Lin Yan and the others hurriedly followed.
There was a burst of white light, and everyone only felt that their bodies seemed to be blown by the breeze, and when they opened their eyes, the surrounding scenery changed greatly. There are still vast ancient roads, there are still ancient trees, but a city has appeared in the distance!
A ruined megacity!
In the eyes of everyone, the walls of the giant city have collapsed, leaving only a part, only this part of the city is strong but straight into the sky, there are black mottles on the city wall, and under the city wall, there are white bones everywhere.
There are beasts, humans, and aliens.
"This is the vast ancient road?" Lin Yan rubbed his eyes, feeling that he was dazzled.
"That's right!" Phantom Feather took the lead, "The vast is a starry sky beast, its body is too big, what you see outside is just one of its tendons. With supreme divine power, the Supreme refined its body into this world, and no one except the Supreme knew how big this world was. β
"I don't know what special abilities this vastness has, its body is like a honeycomb, layered, and hierarchical. We divide this space according to our cultivation level. Low-level ones can go to higher-level spaces at will, but high-level ones can't appear in low-level spaces. Once a powerful beast demon wanted to forcibly break through the spatial barrier, but was shattered by the power of the stars in the extraterritorial starry sky. β
"Do you mean to say that the Yellow Rank can go to the Xuan Rank or the Earth Rank Space, but the Earth Rank can't go to the Xuan Rank Space?" Lin Yan was surprised, what kind of means is this Heavenly Level?
"To be exact, you can't go to the Yellow Rank Space, but you can go to the lower Tier Space, but your strength will be suppressed, and if you break out with all your strength, I'm afraid it will attract the power of the stars outside the domain. β
"Now you know why the beast demons and alien races can't completely control the vast ancient road, right?" As he spoke, everyone had already arrived under the giant city, and the white bones everywhere and the mottled walls of the city were telling of the tragic battles that had taken place here.
"We're lucky, this time it's the Xuanjie Space that came in. The vast ancient road is layered on top of each other, and there is more than one space in each space, and the mystical space where we are now is owned by our human race. It is called Cangyun City, and it is an important strategic place for our human race. The demons here have been expelled, and they can't get in for the time being. We can go to the city to resupply. β
"You say you're lucky, what's the consequence of bad luck?" Lin Yan asked.
"Due to the loss of a large number of domain gates, when opening the domain gates, in addition to having the corresponding coordinates and permissions, the domain doors opened by ordinary people will be random, which means that it is possible to accidentally enter the territory of the beast demon or the hundred clans. And this is a good chance, after all, we only have a few domain gates. β
Ahri, on horseback, suddenly spoke: "Since you have a city here, why don't you come out and save us? Do you know how hard we are living?"
Phantom Feather was silent, sometimes, some things are not as simple as you think, it is very simple to go out of the space to save people, it is difficult to save people here safely!
"How do you know that they didn't go out to look for and save you?" Phantom Yu turned his head, his face rarely serious: "Cangyun City, it took three hundred and eighty years, and it was only after countless heroes and martyrs went forward and succeeded that it was snatched back from the beast demon. After that, countless heroes died here every year, why should they defend here?"
Phantom Feather pointed to the white bones all around him, and the desolate earth, "Here, the perennial war is so angry that you can't grow a grain of food. The water here is polluted by poisonous insects, snakes and ants among the beast demons, and some warriors can only drink water with venom for a year, using their bodies to fight against toxins. What are they for? You know what?"
"It's to find and save you!"
"But... But... Why have we never seen the army that came to save us?" Ahri reddened, thinking of the dead clansmen, of his father, and of his grandfather and Uncle Yan, whose whereabouts were unknown.
"Because they're all dead!" Phantom Feather's tone was desolate: "I just said that we were lucky to be here! This city has no coordinates, or the coordinates have been lost in that dark period, and so far we have not been able to recover the coordinates from the demon barbarians." Every year, only the Emperor of Great Xia used supreme mana to cooperate with the sage formation to find this Cangyun City once in the vast star marker, sending fresh blood and supplies to the warriors. β
"And those warriors who are looking for you, only enter the vast ancient path first, and then slowly travel through the countless layers of space to search, and finally there are very few people who can return here again. β
The crowd was silent, and Ahri couldn't cry. Lin Yan understood that it was not easy to find in the vast star marker, just like his own star map, in the vast starry sky, he couldn't find the earth? The Great Xia Emperor could find this space at least once a year, and Lin Yan knew that it was very painful without asking.
Gently hugged Ahri into his arms and comforted her silently, the fact that it was too painful for Ahri. Xiao Ling also stretched out two tiny vines and gently rubbed Ahri's cheeks to express comfort.
Silence always brings a trace of sadness, with the white bones and bleak wind all over the ground, there is a sadness in the world for a while...
