Chapter 160: Beneath the Water
Wangshan ran a dead horse, this principle was tried in the world of cultivating immortals.
The monks had a much farther field of vision than ordinary people, and they saw the city from afar in this place, and by the time they reached the city gates, it was already half an hour later.
In the distance, you can see the name on the city wall - Kuiyuan Immortal City.
Kuiyuan Immortal City has some similarities with Linyuan Immortal City.
The origin of this name is also simple, it is the meaning of the city in the middle of the abyss.
When I got to the city gate, I was already able to see the monks in the city.
The architectural style of this city is quite similar to that of Linyuan Immortal City, but there are no guards outside the city, Ye Chen and Qu Zhaozhao carefully confirmed that it was a real person, not some illusion, before they walked in with confidence.
There aren't many monks you can see when you enter the city gates, but it's definitely not a few.
As far as the eye can see, there are at least 100 monks on this street.
These people can be said to be the first monks that Ye Chen and Qu Zhaozhao saw after entering Kuiyuan.
They don't all seem to have fled from the outside world, or rather, none of them seem to have fled from the outside world.
Many people obviously had the comfortable expressions of the monks in the Immortal City before.
These people don't seem to know what is happening in the Abyss Immortal City outside?
Ye Chen and Qu Zhaozhao glanced at each other suspiciously, and the arrival of the two didn't seem to stir up a splash here.
There weren't many monks coming and going, but no one looked at them.
Kuiyuan Immortal City is not big, and it took only half an hour for the two of them to walk around the city.
I finally have a preliminary understanding of this place.
Kui Yuan is the secret realm that Lin Yuan relies on to survive, which can be said to be a well-known thing.
The reason why Linyuan can develop into a great immortal city with a population of tens of thousands is definitely inseparable from Kuiyuan.
Kui Yuan is rich in products, especially the large output of demon grass, which allows the Terran monks of Linyuan to exchange countless resources from the hands of demon cultivators.
Naturally, it can be said that more than half of the cultivators in Linyuan Immortal City rely on exploring in the Kuiyuan on weekdays in exchange for cultivation resources.
In the beginning, the Kui Yuan was very different from now, even the first layer was very dangerous, and the safety of the monks who entered the expedition could not be guaranteed at all.
Later, smart people set up stations around those waypoints in the middle of the abyss to be used for security every time they entered.
Even if the place of incoming teleportation is random, as long as those stations can be found, the probability of safe return can be greatly increased.
Gradually, this approach was imitated by all the monks.
Later, it evolved into a common base for many monks, and eventually, cities appeared.
This is the case with this Kuiyuan Immortal City, which can be said to be the largest city in this Kuiyuan layer.
Among them, the resident population has even exceeded a thousand, and these people are used to life in the secret realm, and they rarely return to Linyuan Immortal City, almost living in this Kuiyuan secret realm.
The materials that are usually collected are traded with the second-tier dealers in Kuiyuan Immortal City, and then these people take the things outside.
A complete industrial chain has been formed.
Although Ye Chen was shocked when he heard this, he thought about it and found that this was also a matter of course.
The fact that there is a city where the monks are stationed in this Kuiyuan Secret Realm is of course a good thing for them.
And Kuiyuan Immortal City is final, but there is a pool of water!
The waterhole is also the waypoint.
In other words, if something goes wrong here, the monks here can easily escape to the outside world with the help of this waterhole.
For Ye Chen and the others, the existence of this waterhole also saves them the effort of searching.
It's just that this Kuiyuan Immortal City has one point, and it is fundamentally different from Linyuan Immortal City.
That is, there is no law here!
The laws of Linyuan Immortal City are not effective in Kuiyuan, and there are often monks who commit murder here, but they will not be punished by either side.
It can be said that this is a truly free place that is unsupervised, just like the wild outside.
Even in this Kuiyuan Immortal City, this is true!
After knowing this, Ye Chen and Qu Zhaozhao's hearts, which had been slightly relieved, were raised again.
Fortunately, the monks in this Kuiyuan layer cannot enter the foundation building stage and above, and the cultivation strength of the two of them is still no problem to protect themselves here.
Kuiyuan Immortal City is not small, and there is no shortage of various residences.
The conventional rule here is that there is no property ownership of the houses here.
Whoever occupies it belongs to whomever it is.
If there is a conflict, then naturally, it all depends on the fists talking.
If it's an uninhabited house, as long as you can occupy it, it's yours.
Adhering to the idea of deepening their understanding of this Kuiyuan Secret Realm, Ye Chen and Qu Zhaozhao planned to live in this Kuiyuan Immortal City for a short period of time.
They still don't know anything about the dangers in the Kui Yuan now, and although they haven't encountered any dangers and special circumstances along the way, they won't be naΓ―ve enough to really feel that this is the case in the Kui Yuan.
According to someone who said, there is both danger and opportunity in the abyss, and the greater the danger, the greater the harvest.
Although it was calm along the way before, it was true that there was no trace of heaven and earth treasures.
If you go somewhere else, it's hard to say.
There were quite a lot of vacant houses in the city, and the two of them didn't look for it randomly, so they found a small courtyard near the edge of the city and lived on the spot.
They didn't know the cause of the disaster outside, or how long the madness brought by the purple light would continue to spread.
For the time being, we can only wait here.
This small courtyard is very small, but it meets the current requirements of the two of them.
All you need is a small circle to ensure security temporarily.
Although Ye Chen and Qu Zhaozhao didn't know how long they would stay in this Kui Yuan, they thought about it, it shouldn't be too long.
The purple light outside, if you want to say that it is useful to them who are refining qi and building foundations, he believes it.
But even Qu Zhaozhao's piece of jade silkworm can offset the negative effect of that purple light, and those real bigwigs who are in the Dan stage and above should not be affected.
This Linyuan Immortal City, chaos may be chaotic for a while, but it is definitely not too long.
I just don't know if so many people have died, and this abyss will be able to recover its former vitality in the future.
β¦β¦
The sky is covered with yellow sand, and the sky is covered with no color.
The two nuns carried the magic shield and struggled to move forward in the dust.
"Miss, when will this be able to get out......"
Xiaoqing really can't stand it, she refining the mana of the fifth layer, and she still doesn't support driving the mana shield for too long.
This sandstorm is too powerful, and if it continues like this, it won't last long, and the mana will be exhausted.
"I don't know...... Come to me. β
The girl in red sighed and pulled Xiaoqing into her magic shield.
Both of them are women, Xiaoqing is even more petite, and the two can barely squeeze into a magic shield.
There's no way around it.
If you continue to let Xiaoqing carry it by herself, when the magic shield disappears, this sandstorm can easily sweep her away.
Although she herself had a broken arm, it did not affect the recovery and use of mana, and in this abyss, it was not considered a complete loss of combat power.
Her magic shield can last for a long time.
"This desert, we mentioned it in the map we looked...... As long as you follow the direction, and after a day or two, you will be able to find the Kuiyuan Immortal City. β
She comforted Xiaoqing softly, "When the time comes, we will be safe." β
"Hmmm......"
Xiaoqing was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and said seriously: "Miss, Xiaoqing feels that you have changed slightly." β
"Changed?" The girl in red was stunned, "What has changed to me?" β
"Miss, you've become ...... It's not that much like Miss. Xiaoqing pondered, but couldn't find a suitable adjective.
"How can I say it, Miss, although you were good before, you have become better now."
"Like...... More mature? It's kind of like those uncles and aunts in the family. β
The girl in red smiled, "Mature? β
"Xiaoqing, you mean, Miss Ben used to be very naΓ―ve."
"Not really!" Xiaoqing hurriedly put aside the involvement, "What people mean, cough cough, Miss is getting very good now anyway!" β
"Yes...... Is that so? β
The girl in red sighed, squinted her eyes and looked at the yellow sand in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.
Her transformation had to start with hearing the news of the family's accident.
But this kind of "getting better", she would rather never happen.
β¦β¦
Qingyun Sect, Luoyan Mountain.
The inner gate is boundary, in a hidden pavilion.
"So, the recent Yunzhou has been really eventful......"
Li Meng slowly drank a cup of tea, his expression subtle.
If Ye Chen was here, I am afraid that he would be at least a little shocked.
Li Meng's current cultivation has actually reached the eighth layer of qi refining!
Compared with Ye Chen, who is not bad in his own qualifications, he is one step faster than Ye Chen, who is piling up pills day and night.
You must know that Qu Zhaozhao can be said to be one of the pride of heaven in the inner gate.
She is only at the seventh level of Qi refining now.
Li Meng's cultivation of the eighth layer of qi refining can be seen in general.
It has only been three years since he got started, and he has this cultivation, and this cultivation speed, even in the inner gate, can be said to be a genius among geniuses.
It can be said that he has surpassed the vast majority of geniuses in the history of Qingyun Sect and has become one of those who really stand at the top of the pyramid.
This was undoubtedly a very strange thing for Li Meng, who had even slower than Ye Chen's previous cultivation progress.
But at this time, whether it was Li Meng or the people sitting opposite him, they seemed to be accustomed to it, and they didn't think it was too much.
"So, we can also take the opportunity to start a formal action, right?"
A fat monk shirtless with a bald patch on his head was impatient.
The aura on his body is even more profound, at least the cultivation of the foundation building period!
There was also a person sitting next to him, an old man with a thin face.
He was noncommittal to the fat man's words, but just stared at Li Meng, as if waiting for his opinion.
Both of them are cultivators who have at least been in the foundation building period.
But looking at their current demeanor and movements, they turned out to be faintly headed by Li Meng.
"What's the hurry?"
Li Meng looked indifferent, and picked up a delicate pastry on the table by himself.
"I've endured it for so many years, why rush at this moment?"
"I'm in a hurry now, maybe it's too shallow, right?"
"But......" The fat monk was obviously a little angry, "Now the people of Yunzhou who are treacherous and troublesome are panicking, I heard that the You family has been wiped out, and the old and immortal people in the sect are not in a hurry now, right?" β
"Most of their attention is now on that strange immortal, let's start now, even if they find out, it will definitely be too late!"
"Now is the best time to do it!"
"Alas......" Li Meng sighed, "That's why I said, you're still too shallow." β
"You don't think that those people from the Qingyun Sect are really all attracted by that strange immortal, regardless of the sect?"
"Now the direction of the strange immortal is diametrically opposite to the Qingyun Sect, if you want to say which people in the top level of this Yunzhou are not in a hurry, but they are definitely the first to bear the brunt."
"Let's do it now, even if there is a slight probability of success, it will definitely outweigh the losses."
"But...... If this opportunity is missed...... "The fat monk still wants to fight for it."
"You keep listening to me." Li Meng interrupted him directly.
"You little pawns don't know about the above things, and I don't blame you."
"This is a gap in innate vision, you know less, it is not surprising that you would think like this."
His words were extremely arrogant, and he even had the intention of looking down on the two foundation building monks in front of him.
But strangely, no one on the field felt wrong.
"These Yuanying in Yunzhou are different from the scattered sand you imagined, they have special channels."
Li Meng pointed upwards meaningfully.
"After a while, I'm afraid they will find a way to launch a general attack on that strange immortal."
"When the time comes, a few members of this Qingyun Sect, even if they are not happy, will have to participate in that general attack."
"That's when their attention is really distracted."
"I don't expect that day to be too far off."
"So, you just have to wait, wait."
"I've only been waiting for three years, what about you? Thirty years? Fifty years? It's just a few days, so you can't afford to wait, right? β
When he said this, the fat monk was speechless.
The old man next to him was also bowing his head and pondering something.
"Li Wu."
Putting the last piece of pastry into his mouth, Li Meng clapped his hands and said, "Send off!" β
In the shadows behind him, a pitch-black shadow appeared.
The shadow condensed into a human form, and I saw him say slowly: "Yes! β
The voice was incomparably low and eerie.
The fat monk and the old man both changed their faces, glanced at the shadow with fear, and took their leave, as if they would be caught up by something if they were slow for a moment.
In the kiosk, silence was restored.
I don't know how long it took for the shadow to speak hoarsely: "Do you really plan to rely on those two pieces of waste to make things happen?" β
"It's too casual......"
"Shut up!"
Li Meng's expression changed, and his momentum suddenly increased, "Li Wu, I want to remind you again, are you becoming this ghost now because you have committed something?" β
"Huh...... Hehe. β
The figure was silent.
In the small pavilion, silence returned.
Li Meng slowly drank the last sip of tea, looked at the teacup, and the expression on his face suddenly froze.
"Alas......"
He suddenly remembered that the teacup he was using was given by a former friend he knew from outside.
It's just that that friend doesn't know what kind of bad situation he is in now?
β¦β¦
