Chapter 738: Tao Yuanzi
The Shattered Realm is a very special small world, and when it first appeared, the Yang God True Immortal of the Yujing Sect came to investigate it curiously.
What that True Immortal discovered was a world that seemed to be complete but was actually shattered, and the internal laws had begun to disperse. Most of these worlds have been extracted from some key innate treasures in the early stage of evolution, such as the Qi of the Five Virtues, the opportunity of Yin and Yang, and the source of the Five Elements...... And so on and so forth.
This kind of congenitally deficient small world generally can't give birth to anything particularly good, and it can't last long after birth, often hundreds of thousands of millions of years will slowly disintegrate, and even more miserable will even give birth to a large number of extraterritorial heavenly demons. After a closer investigation, the True Immortal lost interest in it and left it to the younger disciples to practice treasure hunting—things that were not worth mentioning to the True Immortals were not necessarily of no value to the younger disciples who had not yet achieved immortality, on the contrary, many things were very precious to them.
When the news came out, the scattered cultivators flocked here, and even the outer disciples of the Yujing Sect also came. Wu Xie once brought a group of outer disciples to hunt for treasures here, and they gained a lot.
But not long after that treasure hunt, when Wu Xie came for the second time, something strange happened - they actually encountered a powerful giant beast that didn't know how long it had lived in this small world that was judged to be "congenitally insufficient", and its realm was at the level of the Yang God!
Wu Xie exerted great might, fought with the realm of heaven and man and crossed two levels, and slashed the giant beast. Then the Yujing Sect True Immortal came again and carefully examined the world.
As a result, they found that there were many dangerous secret realms in this world, and even the Yang God True Immortals, who were rich in wealth and high skills, suffered a lot of losses. What's worse is that the production in these secret realms is very barren, and the risks and benefits are completely disproportionate.
As a result, the true immortals of the Yujing faction lost interest again, and only circled these dangerous places, so as not to let the adventurers die in a daze, and left again.
Since then, this small world known as the "Broken Realm" has welcomed many explorers, until one day, an unlucky explorer encounters a monster of the Yang God level, a giant snake with five heads.
The serpent had been wreaking havoc in the Shattered Realm for some time, and many explorers had died at its hands. In the end, Yujing sent Bingyun Tower to dispatch more than twenty Ascended Immortals to form a sword formation to kill them, and then they found out...... This damn shattered realm, something strange has happened again!
Those secret realms that were judged to be very barren have actually begun to produce some good things.
The true immortals of the Yujing Sect suddenly became interested and went over to explore. It turns out that although the things are good, the risk and output of those ghost places are still not proportional, and it is really not worth the risk. So they left one True Immortal to guard the Broken Realm, and the rest dispersed, waiting, secretly expecting that maybe there would be new demon moths in this world.
This is the situation in the Shattered Realm now, there are indeed good things produced in various secret realms, but the risk is much higher than the income. Therefore, the true immortals of the Yujing faction will not explore, and only guard the entrance of this world to the Great Wilderness Realm.
Of course, they won't fail to charge any tolls, but whenever a true immortal goes in to explore, they have to say hello and record each other's identities. When you explore it, you should also smile and ask how the Taoist friends have gained?
It's not about robbery, it's just about gathering intelligence. Those treasure hunters don't need to tell them in detail about their harvests, just tell them the approximate extent of their harvests - of course, this true immortal also has a task, which is to encourage those treasure hunters to take out their own harvests and exchange them with the Yujing faction for other things.
What can be taken out and exchanged, it is naturally something that the Yujing faction can continue to produce. Exchanging renewable resources for non-renewable resources is profitable no matter how you look at it.
Of course, all this must be based on the premise of voluntariness, and if someone obviously gets the treasure, but insists that he has found nothing-the polygraph treasure left by the Cave Void True Immortal, how can it be so easy to deceive!
The true immortals who are found to be lying and denying it, the Yujing faction will not do anything to them, but will only take a small notebook and write it down: a certain person is in good spirits, his character is very bad, and he is not trustworthy, and it is recommended that you colleagues list him as a refusal to associate with, so as not to be deceived - by the way, this person is lucky, and he is suspected of being rich and has no friends...... Then it was sent to various sects that had dealings, and the news was vigorously promoted.
Where can a righteous person do things like an evil sect! As for whether this person will be in trouble because of this, it is really a guy who has suffered on his own and lacks even a minimum of sincerity, and it is no wonder that he is unlucky, isn't it?
Of course, Tao Yuanzi is not such a tasteless person, in fact, he has no shortage of treasures - before leaving, Wu Xie gave him almost all the treasures that could be given to him, and he was really armed to the teeth. All he needed was some dangerous experience, through which he could gain important insights and promote his realm ascension.
People like him are basically the most popular, they are strong and not easy to die in the secret realm to cause trouble for the Yujing faction, they don't have to worry about making trouble behind their backs, and they are willing to exchange them when they find good things when they are rich...... It is simply the best partner, placed on the planet, with a credit rating of at least three A's.
After carefully studying the first-hand information given by the unknown true immortals, Tao Yuanzi decided to choose the first stop of this trip as "Broken Bone Mountain".
Broken Bone Mountain is a barren mountain that looks unremarkable, this place is indeed very ordinary at first, but I don't know when it started, it has become higher and bigger, and it is full of a terrifying force, any creature who steps into this mountain will feel a huge pressure, and at the same time, strange shocks continue to come. Bad luck can be shattered to the bone in an instant - well, that's where the murderous name of Broken Bone Mountain comes from.
There is a formation around the Broken Bone Mountain, this formation is not very powerful, although it can prevent the monks below the Dao Fruit realm from approaching, but for the Yang God True Immortal, it is just a warning.
Because although the Broken Bone Mountain is relatively ferocious, the degree of danger is not very high, and among the various dangerous places in the Shattered Realm, it is probably only in the middle range.
In the past two hundred years, three Yang God True Immortals have returned from the exploration of Broken Bone Mountain. Two of them were seriously injured and recovered from their injuries for a long time at the Unknown True Immortal, while the other was lucky enough to obtain a strange gem containing a vast and pure soul power.
That gem has many uses, and the most direct use is to use it to heal the injuries of the original god. After the Yuan Shen is injured, it often takes a long time to recover, but if you get that soul power, you can refine and absorb it, and you can recover quickly.
For the Yang God True Immortal, the most terrible injury is the injury of the Yuan God, so the preciousness of this gem can be imagined.
The lucky True Immortal didn't take out this gem in exchange, but only left his contact information. In the future, if the Yujing Sect has a Yang God True Immortal Yuan Shen who is seriously injured and needs to use it to save his life, he can contact him again.
Of course, the exchange price was sure to be high back then, but that's what business is all about, and who wouldn't want to sell something for a higher price? Especially this precious and rare consumable, it is not surprising that it can be sold for ten times the price when it is a life-saving item!
Wu Xie was able to understand the true immortal's approach, in fact, he also had something similar to that gem, which was left to him by his master Honggu Fairy. Now this treasure is on Taoyuanzi's body, in case Taoyuanzi's original god is injured and falls.
Taoyuanzi is Wu Jie's out-of-body incarnation, although it can be re-refined even if it falls, but the re-refined out-of-body incarnation is no longer the original Taoyuanzi...... In other words, once it falls, Taoyuanzi is really "dead".
It is precisely because of this that Tao Yuanzi's adventure experience can truly bring the perception between life and death and promote the improvement of the realm.
It is precisely because of this that Tao Yuanzi is very cautious when choosing the location of the experience, and will not easily go to those dangerous places that can lead to the fall of the Yang God True Immortal.
There is only one life, even if it is a madman Han De, he will not always mess around with his own life. When he returned from a serious injury in the Green Scythe Secret Realm, he made up his mind that he would never enter the cave again, and he would not joke with his own life.
The surrounding formations rippled like water waves, and Tao Yuanzi easily passed through the circle of purple aura marked with danger and stepped into the Mountain of Broken Bones.
Looking up, this mountain is about ten miles high, which can be called a high mountain. The hillside is frighteningly steep and littered with gravel. The stones are almost all pure white white, like a few withered bones - the name of Broken Bone Mountain may have something to do with the environment here, right?
He tried to take a few steps forward, and then he felt a heavy pressure fall on him, and a strange shock came from him, which made his mind shake and his mind slightly dizzy.
At this moment, the Great Dao Perception in his primordial spirit slowly rose, blocking this concussive force and making his mind clear again.
"No wonder you have to be above the Dao Fruit realm to be able to enter here, if you can't perceive the Great Dao, coming here is simply sending you to death!"
He sighed secretly, and looked around--this place must not be explored with divine thoughts, because once the divine thoughts are separated from the body, they are equivalent to being naked in that terrifying shock, and the end can be imagined--saw five or six Dao Fruit monks at the foot of the mountain meditating cross-legged, trying to resist the terrifying shock, and thus refining the Dao heart.
"That's a good idea!" He gave him a thumbs up and walked up the hill.
It is not suitable to fly on the Broken Bone Mountain, and the steps should not be too big, the intensity of the shock wave here often changes, and there is no certain law. If you rush far away at once, only to find that the shock wave has intensified considerably, even beyond the limit of what you can bear, it will be miserable.
Ten miles high, steep and rugged, relatively gentle foothills, once passed, there is a section of cliffs that almost go straight up and down.
At the bottom of the cliff, there was a Dao Guo monk meditating, Tao Yuanzi did not disturb him, and went around a little farther before sticking to the cliff and slowly flying upward.
He flies very slowly, not much faster than ordinary walking, and his body is more kept next to the cliff, and if he encounters danger, he can grasp the cliff at any time - this is the experience of the predecessors collected by the unknown true immortals, because the shock wave here often erupts suddenly in a neurotic way, if there is a place to catch it, it will be much easier to concentrate on resisting the shock wave.
However, he was lucky this time, until he circled the top of the cliff and regained his footing, and did not encounter the legendary shockwave explosion.
But that was the end of his good fortune, and this time he had only taken a few steps before he felt a low roar in the air, followed by a sudden increase in the pressure on his body, as if a mountain had fallen from the sky and pressed down on his shoulders.
'Oops!' Tao Yuanzi was shocked in his heart, and divided a force of mana to resist the heavy pressure, but the main energy was concentrated, strengthening the connection between the Yuan Shen and the Great Dao.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the ubiquitous shock wave suddenly intensified, shaking him dizzy. If he hadn't been prepared, this one would have hurt him a bit.
This powerful shockwave came and went quickly, and disappeared without a trace in just a moment, but the stones around him had all been shattered into powder, and his mana had been consumed in the process of resisting the shockwave.
Tao Yuanzi exhaled softly, and did not continue to move forward, but stopped and slowly breathed and recovered her mana.
In such a dangerous place, every step forward, you have to make sure that you are in good shape, otherwise you are playing with your life.
He is not the explorer Bell with a strong team by his side, but Les, who really takes risks alone, and if he can not take risks, he must not take them as much as possible.
After a while of pranayama, the lost mana has recovered. Tao Yuanzi wanted to move on, but suddenly her heart moved, and she reached out and grabbed a large handful of stone chips that had been crushed into powder by the shock wave.
He rubbed the stone chips with his hands, and felt that they were finer than flour, and sure enough, they were crushed quite thoroughly.
But in his heart, a doubt arose.
Such a shock wave should not be uncommon on this Broken Bone Mountain, so why is this mountain peak not full of stone powder, but full of gravel?
He saw with his own eyes that just one shock wave turned all the gravel around him into stone dust within a range of tens of feet. If this situation continues for a long time, even if the mountain can hold it, there is no reason why the rocks on the mountain can hold it!
He was silent for a moment, then made up his mind. Instead of rushing on, he came to the gravel floor next to him, paying close attention to the ground that had just been shaken to dust.
After a while, the ground that had been shaken into powder rippled like water waves, and the stone powder slowly coalesced and turned into pieces of rubble. The whole process took about half an hour, and then the ground had become exactly the same as the gravel beach beneath his feet, and there was no obvious difference.
"Is there something wrong with this stone?" Tao Yuanzi thought about it, raised his hand and drew a circle on the ground, fixed the circle around it with mana, and then kept taking out the gravel in the circle and received a storage ring.
His storage rings were specially refined by Wu Jie, each of them could fit a small mountain, and there were more than twenty such storage rings!
In addition to wearing them on his hands, these storage rings were hidden in his belt and hung around his neck...... Most of them were empty, used to store what he might get from his training.
In addition to this, he also had several Cave Heaven Magic Weapons, each of which was enough to hold hundreds of miles.
When he was about to set off, Ye Hong once sighed: "If you really fill these storage rings and cave heaven magic weapons and come back, it will really be three feet to the ground!" ”
"Risking your own life, is it worthy of yourself not to scrape the ground?" Du Ruo asked rhetorically.
Ye Hong was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled, and was silent.
And now, Tao Yuanzi's behavior is really "scraping the ground".
The gravel in that circle was quickly dug up, revealing the solid ground underneath. It was still a pale stone, but it was unimaginably strong, and he had tried all kinds of means to leave no trace on the ground, until he had made a small crack in it by sacrificing a specially refined magic weapon, which was shaped like a hoe and specialized in breaking all kinds of solid physical objects.
In order to make this crack, he consumed almost half of his mana.
Although Tao Yuanzi is only an out-of-body incarnation, his cultivation is not shallow. His mana is completely on the same level as Wu Xie himself, if he just uses mana to form a shield, even if he encounters the Cave Void True Monarch, he can barely resist it.
But with such a deep amount of mana, half of it was only lost by making a crack in the ground......
Tao Yuanzi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and did not try to destroy the ground again, but walked to the side, cast a spell to draw a small formation, and put on the guardian weapon prepared in advance, turning this place into a small stronghold.
He's going to wait here to see if the crack in the ground will go away on its own.
After waiting for several days, another sudden and powerful shock wave, the cave in the ground that had appeared because the surface rubble had been removed was gone. When he removed the rubble from the spot, he found that most of the cracks in the rocky ground were gone, leaving only a few shallow traces.
It seems that this gravel mountain is really weird!
Tao Yuanzi checked the gravel inside the storage vessel again, and found that their appearance had not changed at all, and it seemed that they were still just ordinary stones.
"After you go back, try to refine them, no matter what strange things are about this stone, there will definitely be no way to hide it when it is refined......" He muttered a few words, put away the magic weapons and array flags used to set up temporary strongholds, and prepared to set off again, walking to a higher place.
Looking up, Broken Bones Mountain was at least three-quarters of its height waiting for him to climb.
According to the information of the unknown true immortals, among the three Yang God True Immortals in the past, the one with the highest means had only climbed to four-fifths of the way, and no one had ever set foot in the upper part.
What danger is hidden in that place? What kind of treasures will there be?
"It's really exciting!" He smiled and continued to walk forward. The guardian weapon has turned this place into a small stronghold.
