Chapter 190: The Mysterious Soul Eater City
At night, on the blood-red earth where you can't see your fingers, a figure is running with all its might.
Judging by its vigorous movements and extremely fast speed, it seems that it is not blocked by the night at all, but because there is no life movement at night, it runs even faster.
And the person who hurried away quickly was Gu Yuan after separating from Jiang Tang, although he and Jiang Tang hadn't seen each other for a long time, and in this hell it was also a reunion after death, so it stands to reason that the two should get together for a few more days.
However, Gu Yuan and Jiang Tang both knew that time was tight at the moment, and they didn't dare to delay in the slightest, so they quickly separated, and if they wanted to get together, they could only wait for later.
After separating from Jiang Tang, Gu Yuan rushed to the Thousand Illusion Forest with all his might, and after talking with Jiang Tang, Gu Yuan clearly understood the importance of this battle for the City Lord's Order, he could only succeed, not fail!
Due to the reason of his perception, Gu Yuan almost never rested, whether it was day or night, he was rushing with all his might, the purpose of which was to reach the Thousand Illusion Forest as soon as possible.
For Gu Yuan, the biggest harvest of this Thousand Illusion City army selection is that he met Jiang Tang, meeting Jiang Tang not only made Gu Yuan see the hope of regaining family affection in the future, but more importantly, he found her father for Jiang Ye, Gu Yuan was very much looking forward to the day when their father and daughter reunited.
During the brief reunion with Jiang Tang, Gu Yuan and Jiang Tang both talked to each other a lot of information, and both of them had more understanding, especially Gu Yuan, whose understanding of this hell had reached a kind of highest level.
Legend has it that this hell was originally the same as ordinary hell, full of soul power!
The monks all relied on absorbing the power of the souls in this world to cultivate, so as to break through and enter the Heavenly Hell.
However, with the appearance of a Spirit Devouring Tree, everything changed!
At first, no one knew that there was a Spirit Devouring Tree in this hell, and it wasn't until everyone found that the soul power in this world had become so thin that they couldn't cultivate it, and they found out the reason, that is, the Spirit Devouring Tree!
By that time, the Soul Eater Tree had fully grown. The one with the highest grade had already reached the fifth grade, and there were many fourth-grade Spirit Devouring Trees beside him.
When a group of monks who discovered the Soul Eater Tree saw so many Spirit Eater Trees, they instantly turned red and killed each other for the Soul Eater Tree.
They all knew very well that in this hell where the power of the soul was too thin to cultivate, only the Spirit Devouring Tree was the only hope of entering the Heavenly Hell.
Of course, they can also destroy all the Spirit Devouring Trees, and then without the Spirit Devouring Trees, the soul power in this world will slowly recover.
But the selfish nature of the monks meant that they would not do it, because that would have to wait a long time, at least not for that day.
Therefore, they chose to fight for the Spirit Devouring Tree, whoever got it would have the chance to enter the Heavenly Hell, which was better than no one else having a chance.
And the person who got all the Soul Devouring Trees in the first place was the founder of the Spirit Devouring City, and after he got the Spirit Devouring Tree, he established the Spirit Devouring City, and in order not to cause chaos in the entire hell, he gave out one hundred and seven four-grade Spirit Devouring Trees.
And some third-grade and second-grade spirit devouring trees that grow outside the Spirit Devouring City, he will also let the monks who have obtained permission to take them back and cultivate!
In this way, all the people who have the ability to obtain the Spirit Devouring Tree are the big people in this hell, and as long as these big people are not chaotic, the city lord of his Spirit Devouring City will naturally sit back and relax.
And in order to prevent those big people from rioting, the city lord of Spirit Devouring City also formulated a spirit fruit conference, and tasted the five-grade soul fruit with all the city lords.
As a result, almost no one would oppose it, and almost everyone aimed at the position of the city lord.
And until now, almost a thousand years have passed in this hell, and with the monk's deliberate control, there is no trace of soul power floating in this hell.
The promotion of the monk only depends on the Spirit Devouring Tree, and the Spirit Devouring Tree is only the privilege of the big people, so as long as he enters this hell, no matter how talented he is, he can only beat his chest and sigh at the sky!
At present, the city lord of Spirit Devouring City has changed for several generations, but no one can shake his status, and all the rules in the entire hell have not changed, and the main reason for this is because Spirit Devouring City is still the same Spirit Devouring City as before!
"Spirit Devouring City, what is hidden in you?" Gu Yuan's heart has always been full of doubts about Spirit Devouring City, since the moment Gu Yuan knew that it existed, he subconsciously felt that it was not as simple as it seemed.
For the one hundred and seven cities outside, changing the city lord is commonplace, and it is changing at any time, and every time the city lord is changed, the name will change!
Just like Thousand Illusion City, it was started by this generation of Thousand Illusion City City Lords.
And what about the Soul Devouring City? For thousands of years, its name has never changed, it is still the Spirit Devouring City, and even if the city lord has changed, its city lord has always been chosen by the previous generation of city lords, and it is still called the Spirit Devouring City Lord, and these have not changed.
From this, it can be imagined that its Spirit Devouring City is stable and powerful.
And what made Gu Yuan most puzzled was the Spirit Fruit Conference, which was a strategy held by Spirit Devouring City in order to stabilize people's hearts.
As long as the Five-Rank Soul Fruit is ripe, all the city lords will be invited to participate!
However, throughout the thousand-year development history of Hell, Gu Yuan had heard that many Spirit Fruit Conferences had been held, and there were no less than 1,000 city lords who entered Spirit City, but Gu Yuan had never heard of any city lords who had come out after entering.
This not only made Gu Yuan very puzzled, "Could it be that they all broke through and entered the Heavenly Hell?" or did they cultivate in Spirit Devouring City?"
As a result, in the eyes of all the monks, the Soul Devouring City became mysterious again.
However, although there are various explanations for this situation, none of them can be completely reasonable.
But even so, every Spirit Fruit Conference could still make countless people fight for their heads, because no matter what danger there was in Spirit Devouring City, he was the only chance to enter the Heavenly Prison!
Gu Yuan didn't know how long he had been walking, and there was one direction in his heart, that was the Thousand Illusion Forest.
On the way, Gu Yuan was not only in a hurry, but he also devoted himself to analyzing and sorting out some of the information he obtained.
If you want to survive in this world, you must be cautious and careful, and Gu Yuan knows this very well.
Once again, there was a hint of visibility in the sky, and Gu Yuan knew that another day was coming.
Bidding farewell to the night, Gu Yuan retracted his perception and opened his eyes, and it was time for perception and eyes to rest alternately.
This is the method that Gu Yuan has mastered all the way in a hurry, using his eyes during the day and turning off his perception!
At night, I close my eyes with my senses. Because perception can also be fatigued, if you use it too much, it will also weaken, but because of the daytime rest, Gu Yuan found that the combination of work and rest after exercise and rest has a slight improvement, which not only surprised Gu Yuan.
And because of the fact that he got the source of Bingjie's sleep, Gu Yuan's understanding of the source of sleep is also more profound!
In fact, closing the eyes is also a method of rest, which is also known as closing the eyes to recuperate, and it also has the ability to increase vitality.
In this way, the ancient plains can maximize their benefits.
When you open your eyes, you'll be greeted by a forest of rosewood.
Looking at the endless redwood forest, Gu Yuan felt a sense of urgency in his heart that he had never felt before, it was like going home.
"Thousand Illusion Forest, Xiaocao, I'm back!"
