readx; On the side of the Ethereal Continent, there is a huge, boundless barren land. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this barren land, there are countless kinds of monsters and all kinds of strange and sinister environments. The deeper you go into the wilderness, the more dangerous places there become.
For generations, the desolation has been one of the dangerous places recognized by many cultivators on the Ethereal Continent.
However, although it is a famous dangerous place, there is a steady stream of people who venture into the wilderness. From fourth-order cultivators to tenth-order peak cultivators, they could all be found in this huge barren land.
Of course, according to the level of the individual, the location they go to is also very different.
Among the many cultivators who went deep into the desolation, the vast majority were casual cultivators, or disciples in small and medium-sized sects. They all marched together in groups.
And those who walk alone, or only in groups of three or two, are mostly the children of the disciples of the super sect or the large sect. Because these people often have one or two treasures on their bodies, and even more, they have shields in their hands to defend gods or flying gods.
That's why they have the courage and confidence to brave this dangerous place with a smaller number of people.
Although the number of cultivators who have died in the desolate land over the years is already a huge number that makes people palpitate, the number of people who want to enter this place is still endless, and it has not decreased in the slightest.
The reason for this rare situation is that in addition to demon beasts and dangerous lands, there are also a large number of various rare herbs and minerals in the barren, and even some special items can only be produced in the barren land. And once they are lucky enough to be able to obtain these items, then it will be a lot of wealth for cultivators.
With such wealth, even the vast majority of the disciples in the major sects couldn't help but be excited, not to mention the larger number of small and medium-sized sects and scattered cultivators.
However, although there are many people who enter the desolation, there are only a few who have the courage to cross the perimeter and actually go deep into it.
Even among the cultivators, there are very few spiritual powerhouses who can enter the depths of the barrenness.
Because of the danger there, even they were chilled.
However, in the depths of this barrenness, a figure suddenly flashed.
It was a beautiful shadow, like a cloud moving with the wind, floating at a distance of about three feet from the ground to the depths of the barren wilderness at a great speed.
This person is obviously quite familiar with the barren environment, and the route traveled along the way is even more ingenious, and there are basically no powerful creatures entrenched in it. And even if she encounters any obstacles by chance, she can easily solve them with her strength.
Moreover, this person does not hesitate when he is moving forward, even if he encounters some rare drugs and materials on the way, he will not stop to pick and ingest.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the original appearance of this road is ensured, so that the foreign powerhouses cannot search for the existence of this road from all kinds of clues.
In fact, if the spirit powerhouses in the outside world knew that there was such a relatively safe passage in the depths of the barrenness, then they would definitely be willing to pay a great deal of money in exchange.
Because just by taking some precious medicine from this channel, it will be enough to make up for any loss they have.
This person is undoubtedly An An who broke up with Zheng Haotian, now she is already a spiritual powerhouse, and after returning to the barren land, she is even more like a fish in water, and her walking speed is far faster than in the past.
There are countless flying birds and powerhouses hovering in the barren sky all the time, and it is undoubtedly a rather stupid thing to want to fly here. Therefore, even though An An was cultivating to make great progress, he did not get carried away and fly high in the air, but honestly followed the secret passage into the barrenness.
After a few days of this, she finally came to a great col in the depths of the barrenness.
Beyond this col, there is a poisonous miasma that lingers all year round. The power of this miasma is extremely great, whether it is a strong spirit, a Yang or a spirit demon beast, they are all avoided.
But An An plunged directly into it, and once those miasma entered the place where she was in the middle of the body, it immediately churned and retreated, leaving her with enough safe space.
The terrain in the miasma is extremely complicated, because this is a rare mountain protection array. Even if you know how to enter, you need to be careful and not be negligent in the slightest.
Finally, she passed through the miasma and into the great col.
In the very center of the col is a vast and magnificent palace.
This palace stretches for hundreds of miles, as far as the eye can see.
Inside and outside the palace, there are countless people living leisurely, either working hard or practicing martial arts. Whether it is in terms of scale or population, this place will not be inferior to the eight super sects on the Ethereal Continent.
In this inaccessible wilderness, there is such a prosperous place, which is definitely beyond the imagination of the vast majority of people on the mainland.
When An An's gaze fell on this palace, there was finally a look of relaxation in her eyes.
Her figure flickered, and she had already entered the huge palace in the outermost part of the country.
"When ......"
A melodious, quaint voice suddenly sounded from inside the palace.
This voice spread far away, and it turned out to be clearly audible to countless people inside and outside all the palaces within hundreds of miles.
Almost at the same moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to the main gate in the distance.
"Spirit powerhouse, our temple has another spirit powerhouse. ”
"I really don't know which hall is so lucky to be able to take this step. ”
"Go and inquire, which hall disciple is the one who triggered the spirit body Hong Zhong. ”
One after another, voices of amazement, surprise, envy, or various thoughts sounded from different places.
And in the next moment, hundreds of terrifying auras suddenly rose in the entire sky.
Beams of powerful spiritual light rose into the sky, tearing through the space, and in an instant they had already arrived at the main entrance of the temple.
Here, a huge bronze bell hangs high, and the whole bronze bell is covered with a hint of pale gold. At this time, in front of the bronze bell, a man in a long robe was flicking his fingers, and with his movements, the bronze bell continued to make a roaring sound that spread through the sky. , and not far in front of this man, An An was lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, standing respectfully aside.
With her current status as a spiritual powerhouse, she still maintains such a humble attitude in front of this person, and this person's identity is naturally even more extraordinary.
In an instant, hundreds of spiritual lights flashed, and there were already more than 100 people here.
The strength of the Desolate Temple is indeed unfathomable, and the number of spirits who have only shown traces has reached more than a hundred. It is no wonder that in this desperate situation, he was able to start a sect and inherit it for countless years.
One of them had an old complexion, three long wisps of beard flowing in the wind, but there was a dusty color on his body.
His gaze froze, and immediately fell on An An's body, a strange and complicated color flashed in his eyes, and said, "Shui Ruoyunqi, you have been promoted to a spirit person?"
An An said with a solemn expression: "Yes, the little sister has been promoted to a spirit master." ”
If she had met this old man before, she would have to bow down and salute, calling her a disciple.
But now that she has been successfully promoted to a spirit person, her status and treatment are naturally different from the past, and even her title has changed.
The muscles on the old man's face twitched slightly, as if a flash of anger flashed, but he finally forcibly suppressed it.
"She's been promoted to spirit, and I've engraved her name on the bell, so don't doubt it. ”
The man sitting in front of the ancient bell slowly stood up, and he had already turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the ancient bell.
Led by the old man, many spiritual powerhouses bowed solemnly.
This man is not a human being, but the spirit of this spirit body. This thing has been psychic for I don't know how many years, and it has been sitting here since the moment the Desolate Temple towered over this land. His supernatural powers can be called unfathomable.
In the barrenness, there are also countless powerful people, but few people dare to come to provoke, and there is also a credit to this bell.
And throughout the ages, whenever the temple was promoted to a spirit and passed through the main entrance of the temple for the first time, he would ring the giant bell.
This bell is a treasure of the temple, and almost all of the many spiritual powerhouses here have gradually grown from an ordinary cultivator to the point where they are today, so even the most unruly person will not dare to be rude to him.
When the spirit of the ancient bell disappeared, the old man turned around again and said, "Shui Ruoyunqi, you went out on this trip to assassinate a seventh-order cultivator in the Ethereal Continent, I don't know if you have completed the task. ”
He asked this sentence just because of his duty, and no one present would think that Shui Ruoyunqi, who had been promoted to the spirit realm, would miss when facing a seventh-order cultivator.
"Little sister missed this trip, please forgive me. ”
The old man was stunned for a while, and then lost his voice: "You missed?"
"After the little sister left the barrenness, she suddenly had an understanding, so she found a quiet place to retreat and practice. Unexpectedly, he broke through the limit by luck and was promoted to a spirit body. An An said quietly: "So the little sister returned to the temple and gave up this task, if anyone raised any objections, the little sister accepted the punishment." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and if they didn't complete the task and returned empty-handed, they would naturally suffer heavy punishments. But that's just a practice for cultivators, and as for the spirit powerhouses, they are already beyond the realm and can't be generalized.
One person suddenly smiled and said, "Senior Sister Shui can break through the spirit realm, it is a great joy for this sect, how can a mere seventh-order cultivator really work for Senior Sister." Hey, such a ridiculous thing. If someone dares to be a junior sister, the old man will be the first to disagree. ”
Everyone nodded one after another, and with the dignity of their spirits, they naturally disdained to do such a self-deprecating thing.
The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at An An, who was standing solemnly, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but the look in his eyes was half happy and half worried, and it became more and more complicated......
