Chapter 61: Back to Basics
The vast sea area finally has an end, and when he came to the coast, Yang Xiaojun released the Golden Scorpion King and the Flower Ji Fairy, and the three of them bowed to the direction of the dragon from afar. They knew that it was not impossible to stop them if they had to stop it, but the other party did not chase them in the end, which meant that they were deliberately let go.
The coast is connected to a desert, and the shadow of a big city appears in the distance, like a mirage in the desert, and it never ends. The three of them walked for a whole hour, and they were exhausted, but the scenery had not changed at all, and the city was still so far away, could it be that they were standing still.
"I feel like we're in a special formation." Fairy Hanahime was the first to speak.
"Well, I think so. My mana seemed to be gone, and every step was extremely difficult, and the city in front of me was within reach, but it was always unapproachable. There are no obstacles in front of me, but I always feel like there are a lot of things hidden around. "The Golden Scorpion King also sensed the abnormality.
"It looks like a Gobi desert, there are no living creatures, in fact, there is a mystery. Let's take a break and let me put things in order. Yang Xiaojun then sat on the ground, closed his eyes and pondered, as soon as he came in, he found that his mana was gone, and the Yuan Shen could not be awakened as if he was asleep. He knew that there was something strange here, and he had turned himself into the state he was in before he didn't cultivate, and now he was completely an ordinary person on the earth.
"Three intruders, I hope you will retreat, this is not a place for you to come, go back and forth from where." The voice seemed to come from the distant sky.
Yang Xiaojun felt that he was about to reach his destination, but he was trapped by such a formation, and began to become irritable, and he roared angrily: "Why don't you let us in." I'm not going to back down. ”
"There is the strongest prohibition in this space, even the rule-makers cannot break through, and those who do not receive an invitation will be trapped in it forever. It's still too late for you to turn back, and if you continue to stalemate like this, the results of thousands of years of hard work will come to naught. ”
"So what, I won't give up until the last minute."
"You will be turned into the most ordinary people and sent to another aura space, and you will no longer be able to cultivate powerful mana."
"Are you talking about Earth's space? That's where I came from, and the ordinary people there are much happier than the cultivators here, so what's wrong with becoming an ordinary person. ”
"Since I am so obsessed, I have nothing to say, even the strongest person in the god level, after staying here for two days, he will lose all his mana, and he will be teleported by the power of space to the earth space where you came. It's still too late to turn back, it's just a slight loss of mana, and if you continue to stalemate like this, I'm afraid you'll never have a chance. ”
The Golden Scorpion King and the Flower Fairy looked at each other, their expressions looked very tangled, they knew that this prohibition would really absorb their mana, and if they became ordinary people without mana, they didn't know how to live themselves. But Yang Xiaojun doesn't seem to care about this, insisting on consuming it like this, if there is no good way to break the ban, then what's the point of consuming it like this.
I really regret that I came here on impulse, what the hell should I do now? With his own ability, he can also be the overlord of a party, at least he can protect a territory of his own like the Squid King, and now even if he goes to Canterlot, what can he do. It's better to go back and continue to cultivate, this risk and benefit are obviously very unequal, and after a short hesitation, the Golden Scorpion King and the Flower Queen Fairy chose to return the same way.
The two glanced at Yang Xiaojun, who was still meditating with his eyes closed, hugged his fists, and said, "Good luck, we'll have a date later." After saying that, he turned his head and walked the way he came.
"Why are you back again?" Yang Xiaojun felt that the flower girl was going and coming back, and asked a little strangely.
"I'm sure you'll find a way." Fairy Hua Ji looked at Yang Xiaojun and said.
"It's better not to believe me, I'm not sure. I just think it's good to be a normal person even if I go back to Earth's space. At least it's much better than this space that only knows how to cultivate and upgrade, and will do whatever it takes for these two simple purposes. Yang Xiaojun looked at the flower fairy and said.
"Then I'll go to that space with you, and we'll start cultivating from scratch." Fairy Hanahime said.
"There are basically no cultivators in that space, there is almost no aura, and there is no way to cultivate." Yang Xiaojun said.
"Then aren't you also cultivating so strongly?" Fairy Hanahime asked puzzled.
"This is an extremely special situation. Just like the hundreds of millions of trees and plants in the Ten Thousand Poison Forest don't have any mana, but there are also plants like you that have cultivated extremely strong abilities. If we return to Earth's space, we will only be able to do the most ordinary creatures. Yang Xiaojun said
"I don't know how those creatures who can't cultivate live, but it's also a new life for me, and it's good to feel it." Fairy Hanahime is a little confused about the future, but her attitude seems to be very resolute.
"You don't regret it?" Yang Xiaojun asked
"Now that you've made up your mind, you won't regret it." Hanahime Fairy seems to have made a lot of determination.
Yang Xiaojun didn't say anything anymore, he continued to think hard about the way to crack it, and Fairy Hua Ji also sat down on the side, she didn't have to think about anything. Because she knew that she was thinking in vain, her experience was too simple, and she didn't know anything except cultivation and fighting. Not only did he know nothing about the Earth's space, but he also didn't know anything about the things in the Ten Thousand Poison Forest except for a few areas around him.
The two of them are like two ants covered by a huge glass cover, sitting on this lifeless Gobi Desert waiting for their mana to disappear little by little. At first, the two of them were still trying to resist the loss of mana, but after a while, they found that the more they resisted, the faster they resisted, so they simply ignored it. During this period, the voice in the distance also reminded them to turn back many times, but Yang Xiaojun never paid attention to it.
"Hey, it's a pity that the results of the two of you who have cultivated for so many years have come to naught. This is the return area of this space, those who are invited, the mana in the body will be blocked, and those who are not invited, the mana in the body will be completely emptied. There have been many god-level people who have broken in without being invited, and in the end, they can only return to their original place with regrets and wait for the summons, and no one can fight against the rules, so why should you bother. At this time, if you don't leave, you won't have a chance at all. Seeing that the hearts of the two were like rocks, the voice did not appear again after speaking.
Gradually, the two of them fell into a coma, and Yang Xiaojun felt as if he had been sucked into it by a huge black hole. There was silence all around, the mana in the body was completely emptied, all parts of the body were uncontrolled, I wanted to move my fingers, but I couldn't feel where my fingers were, and after a while, I was completely unconscious.
When Yang Xiaojun woke up again, the energy in his body seemed to be bursting, and he felt that he was many times stronger all of a sudden. Is it a breakthrough again? Yang Xiaojun found that his Yuan Shen was also extremely powerful, this was a real breakthrough, he felt that he could easily smash this cover on his head, but he didn't do that. He knew that this hood was just a feeling, and what really made him feel oppressed was the spatial law that restricted the exertion of his mana. But now this law is also a fictitious law in himself, and he can just throw it aside if he wants to. It's not time yet, it's just a specific area of theirs, and I still need to walk in front of them step by step, and I need to keep my strength and keep a low profile, so I continue to pretend that I was weak before I fell unconscious.
"You're awake." Yang Xiaojun saw that the flower fairy beside him also woke up and asked.
"Where is this. Is this the space on Earth where you used to live? Fairy Hanahime asked a little confused.
"We're still in the Guiyuan District outside the Central City, how do you feel now?" Yang Xiaojun said.
"I don't have any special feelings, it's like entering a black hole, being drained of mana and primordial spirit in it, and then I just slept a lot and woke up. Except for the lack of mana, and the existence of the primordial god is not felt, there is no other feeling. Fairy Hanahime carefully examined her body and found that she had lost the ability to see inward, and she didn't know how to use her true qi.
"Oh, what's going on, why am I feeling like a breakthrough, why is she drained of her mana and primordial spirit." Yang Xiaojun was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't look like he was lying, he looked like he was asking a question and more like he was talking to himself.
"Ah, what kind of breakthrough did you say? I don't understand," Fairy Hua Ji asked with some puzzlement when she saw Yang Xiaojun's somewhat lost look.
"Well, nothing, let's go and see if we can get out of this damn area." Yang Xiaojun stood up and pulled Fairy Hua Ji and said.
"Well, okay" Fairy Hua Ji actually had a special feeling in her heart when she pulled Yang Xiaojun's powerful big hand. It has been tens of thousands of years since I cultivated my consciousness, and this has never happened. She couldn't tell what she was feeling inside, why there was a warm current in her heart, and why she had a strange feeling.
"What's wrong with you, haven't you recovered yet, why don't we wait a little longer and wait until you're fully recovered before leaving?" Seeing that Fairy Hua Ji's face flushed, thinking that it might be that he had just woken up from a coma and his physical strength had not yet recovered, Yang Xiaojun asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I don't know why I always feel weird in my heart, I've never felt this way in tens of thousands of years." Fairy Hua Ji stood up and withdrew her hand from Yang Xiaojun's hand.
"You've been cultivating in this space for tens of thousands of years?" Yang Xiaojun asked with some surprise.
"Ah, we plant cultivators are different from the human race, and we don't know how long it takes to cultivate consciousness. I've been counting for tens of thousands of years since I consciously started. Fairy Hanahime said.
"Then let's see if you can use mana to fly or do something that was easy to do before." Yang Xiaojun did feel that his mana was much stronger, because he didn't know if the rule-maker knew his current situation, but he didn't look like the flower girl was cheating, since he said that this was the Guiyuan District, then I also pretended to lose all his mana.
"I don't really have any mana, and I don't know how to mobilize it." Fairy Hanahime said helplessly.
"Then we'll get out of here one step at a time." Yang Xiaojun had a guess at this time, because he was not a cultivator in this space, so many cultivation laws could not restrict him. Once the cultivators of this space enter the Great Perfection Stage of the Enchantment, their cultivation speed will be much slower, and it will be even more difficult to level up when they enter the Yuan Infant Stage. But he is the opposite of others, the faster he breaks through later, as long as there is a little gain, he can be upgraded, as if life is open. And Fairy Hanahime has always lived in this space, so she can't avoid being restricted by the laws of space.
"I feel good about that." Fairy Hanahime said suddenly.
"Something good." Yang Xiaojun asked.
"If I don't have mana, I don't have the mind to fight with others, and I don't have to worry that someone will catch me to refine it into a magic weapon, isn't this kind of carefree life bad?" Fairy Hanahime asked rhetorically.
"It's good, but I don't know if there will be other situations when you get to Canterlot, if someone bullies you and attacks you, what will you do." Yang Xiaojun asked.
"I don't know, I won't do anything anyway, if he attacks, I'll close my eyes and wait for death." Fairy Hanahime really didn't know what to do, so she could only answer like this.
"Then you're not scared at all?" Yang Xiaojun asked.
"I don't know what it's like to be afraid, I only know that if the victor dies, he will use my torso and vines to make all kinds of magic weapons, and I feel that I am controlled by others and driven to do things I don't want to do, so I am afraid of defeat and death. Now that I feel like I don't have mana, then my torso and vines are gone, and I can't be controlled and driven by people, so there's nothing to fear from death. I really don't know what it's like to die, and I really want to experience it for myself. You said that if we were killed as soon as we entered the city, what would we feel when we died, and what would happen after we died? Fairy Hanahime asked.
"I don't know. I guess I have become a different state and gone to another dimension, and all the things I used to have disappeared and re-exist in another way. Yang Xiaojun thought that in the past, people in the earth space would enter the underworld and the immortal space after they died, and some would even enter the current space, so he said.
"That doesn't seem to be anything to be afraid of. I feel like I've just died once, and if that's the case, there's nothing terrible about dying, and I'm looking forward to it. Fairy Hanahime said with an innocent expression.
"What if your previous memories are completely lost, you don't know anything about what happened before you died, and you don't remember anything you have experienced so far. You don't know the Golden Scorpion King or me, you don't remember any of the people and things that have appeared in your life, you are not afraid. Yang Xiaojun asked.
"Why don't you remember? I died once, and now I remember everything except that I don't have the abilities I used to have. Why don't you remember when you die and enter another dimension in another state? Fairy Hanahime asked puzzled.
"I don't know how to answer your question either. In short, life and death are two completely different states, and they will not be the same as the one just now. Yang Xiaojun remembered the legends of Huangquan Road and Meng Po Tang in the earth space, and he also experienced the experience of meeting a big bear in the fairy space and not knowing each other, so he was afraid that he would become another person who didn't know anything. But he couldn't explain the problem to Fairy Hanahime.
"Anyway, I'm not afraid of anything now, I'm not afraid of anything, I still have some expectations, and it's good for me to really die and feel it." Hanahime Fairy, this is the purest ignorance fearless.
While they were chatting, they walked forward, and it didn't take long for them to enter a city. From Yang Xiaojun's point of view, this place is not called a city, unlike the Dragon and Phoenix City and the Netherworld City outside, which have city gates, city walls and guards, this place is more like a modern metropolis. They didn't see the city gate, but as they walked, houses and pedestrians began to appear next to them, and there were shops selling all kinds of goods, supermarkets and various stalls on the roadside. Yang Xiaojun always felt a little like a world away, how could it be like walking into a city on the earth.
