-------------------------------------

Seeing the stunned appearance of the four people, the head of the foundation building monk showed a little disdain on his face:

"I can also tell you that the Tiandong Sea is only a small part of the territory within the Great Zhou, and in the entire Great Zhou Immortal City, there are three super-large immortal cities alone, and there are at least ten large immortal cities, and as for the small and medium-sized immortal cities, at least there are hundreds."

"Senior brother, what do you explain to these dirt buns? When they spend some time in our big week, they naturally know how superficial they are. ”

A middle-aged monk in his forties with a mole on the corner of his mouth next to him spoke.

"Okay, you can leave later, remember that in this Guanhai City, no imperial weapons are allowed, otherwise you will be arrested by the guards of the city, and you will be locked up for ten or eight years, or you will be escorted directly to the Lingling Platform, in addition, you are the first time to come to Guanhai City in Dazhou, you can receive a piece of Dao order in Guanhai City, with this Dao order, the entire Tiandong Sea can be unimpeded."

After speaking, the leader of the foundation building monk waved his hand at the others, signaling that they could leave.

The four people who followed Han Changlin to teleport together were full of shock at this moment, obviously frightened by what the head of the foundation building monk said, and even Han Changlin next to him was horrified in his heart, there were hundreds of immortal cities in the Great Zhou.

Hundreds of immortal cities, even if they are all small immortal cities like Guanhai City, I am afraid that the number of people is at least hundreds of millions, this number really scared Han Changlin.

Han Changlin ignored the four of them, and after saluting several guards, he went down the cliff and entered the immortal city.

"This senior, it's the first time I've come to Da Zhou."

As soon as he got off the portal, and before he had taken a few steps, a middle-aged monk in his forties came up.

Hearing this, Han Changlin's brows furrowed slightly, and under the sense, this person was just a seventh-level Qi refining monk.

Seeing Han Changlin frowning, the middle-aged monk with the eight-character beard hurriedly said:

"Don't misunderstand, seniors, in Xia Chen Si, born and raised in this Guanhai Immortal City, he knows everything within hundreds of thousands of miles of Guanhai Immortal City and the surrounding areas, Chen Si is willing to answer questions for his seniors as a guide for his seniors."

Han Changlin frowned when he heard this, this kind of guide in the immortal city is not the only one in this Guanhai City, in the major immortal cities of the Zhao Kingdom, there are almost people like Chen Si, who rely on leading the way and running errands for outsiders to earn some spirit stones for cultivation.

Han Changlin was a newcomer, and he didn't know anything about everything in Da Zhou, and people like Chen Si happened to be what he needed at the moment.

Thinking of this, Han Changlin nodded:

"In this way, Han wants to know, where can I rent a cultivation place in this Guanhai City?"

Han Changlin looked at the street in front of him where there were not many pedestrians, and he was surprised to find that in this Guanhai City, there were not many real immortal cultivators, and most of them were mortals who were powerless.

This point is very different from the immortal city of Zhao State, all the immortal cities of Zhao country, although there are also a large number of mortals, but they are basically in a five-to-five situation, and in this Guanhai City, just this moment of observation, Han Changlin has come to a conclusion that the number of mortals here is much more than that of immortal cultivators.

When Chen Si heard this, his eyes lit up and then he smiled:

"I think the seniors have also noticed that although this Guanhai City is an immortal city, there is only a small spiritual vein under this immortal city, which causes the aura of Guanhai City to be relatively thin, and only some Qi refining stage cultivators like juniors will choose to cultivate here."

"As for the foundation-building monks like the predecessors, most of them will choose to go to the Descending Star Islands, there are three main islands and thirty-nine sub-islands in the Descending Star Islands, in addition, there are hundreds of small islands, under this Descending Star Islands, there is a medium-sized high-grade spiritual vein, which makes the aura on the Descending Star Islands very strong, and it is the most suitable for the cultivation of foundation-building monks like the predecessors."

"I see, but I don't know where this Descending Star Islands are? How to get by? ”

Han Changlin opened his mouth and asked, there is actually a medium-sized high-grade spiritual vein under this Descending Star Island, and it is not inferior to Dancao Mountain.

After crushing the small transfer talisman and causing the realm to fall, Han Changlin's most urgent thing at the moment was to find a secret place, practice hard for a period of time, and consolidate the current realm.

"The Descending Star Islands are not far away, after leaving Guanhai City, they have been flying southward, probably flying tens of thousands of miles, and you can see it."

Chen Si said.

"Are there any conditions required to cultivate on this Descending Star Islands?"

After thinking for a moment, Han Changlin looked at Chen Si and asked.

"Except for the three main islands and the thirty-nine sub-islands of the Descending Star Islands, which are the places where the disciples of the Imperial Water Palace live and cultivate, the rest of the many small islands are open to monks outside, as long as you prepare a case in the 'Immortal Pavilion' on the main island, you can choose one of these islands as a place for cultivation, however, you have to pay some spirit stones every year, of course, you can also pay at once, it depends on the senior's own choice."

"Oh, by the way, can the many sect forces of this Great Zhou explain to Han?"

Speaking of the Imperial Water Palace, Han Changlin suddenly asked.

Since he wants to find a place in this great Zhou and meditate and cultivate, he naturally has to understand the sect forces here first, and he is no stranger to the Imperial Water Palace, and he has heard of it when he traveled in Zhao Kingdom.

However, at that time, he only knew that this Imperial Water Palace was a sect of the Great Zhou, and as for the specific strength of this sect, he didn't know anything.

Hearing Han Changlin's inquiry, Chen Si's face showed excitement, obviously Han Changlin asked about his strengths.

"Since the predecessors came to Da Zhou for the first time, I don't know if I think about it, in fact, the so-called Da Zhou is just a general term for this inland sea."

"Inland Sea?"

Nodding, Chen Si opened his mouth and said:

"This sea is also called the boundless sea, vast and boundless, no one knows how big it is, it is rumored that at the end of the boundless sea, there is a continent, which is the world of the demon clan, but whether it is true or not, no one knows."

"But the vastness of the boundless sea is true, I don't know how many tens of thousands of years ago, when our human race just entered the boundless sea, at that time the boundless sea was still the world of demon beasts, after tens of thousands of years, our human race gradually gained a foothold in this boundless sea, I heard that at that time and the demon beasts fought and fell the ancestors of the human race, I don't know how many."

"Since our human race has gained a foothold in this boundless sea, it has gone through millions of years of operation to create the current situation, the boundless sea and the inland sea are the territory ruled by our human race, here, although there will often be demon beasts in the sea, but they are all unclimated, at most some first-order and second-order demon beasts."

"Therefore, this boundless sea and inland sea are also called the Burning Immortal Sea by our Terran monks, which is intended to commemorate the countless predecessors who fell for our Terran to expand their territory here."

"And in this Burning Immortal Sea, which is dominated by our Terran monks, there are five major forces, namely the Imperial Water Palace in the east of the sky, the Trap Island in the northeast and the Trap Hall in the far north, and then the two major forces in the south of the sky, the Six Extremes Demon Palace and the Righteous Qi Alliance."

"Among them, the Trap Island and the Trap Hall in the extreme north are relatively low-key, and they have never had friction with the other three major forces, and whether it is the Trap Island or the Trap Sky Palace, they are both located in the north of the Burning Immortal Sea, and they are far from the other three major forces, so in fact, in this Burning Immortal Sea, they are fighting with each other, and only the remaining three forces are constantly rubbing."

"The core disciples of the Imperial Water Palace are all women, although they all look down on male cultivators, but they have never taken the initiative to provoke disputes in the Burning Immortal Sea, and although the strength of the Imperial Water Palace is not weak, the number of core disciples in the palace is not much, which leads to the fact that in the entire Burning Immortal Sea, the two most aggressive forces are the Six Extremes Demon Palace and the Righteous Qi Alliance."

"Could it be that this Six Extremes Demon Palace and the Righteous Qi Alliance are in a state of hostility?"

Han Changlin frowned slightly, if this Great Zhou was also in turmoil, then he would have to think carefully about where to choose as a place to cultivate.

"It's not, the disciples of the Six Extremes Demon Palace and the Righteous Qi Alliance are secretly fighting openly and secretly, but in name, they are still at peace, after all, compared to the endless demon beasts in the endless open sea, the human forces are still united in name."

"I see."

Han Changlin nodded and motioned for Chen Si to continue.

"These five major forces are the five largest forces in the Great Zhou, in addition, there are many small and medium-sized sect forces, but these small and medium-sized sect forces are either attached to these five major forces, or they are in a corner and act in a low-key manner."

"The five major forces for these small and medium-sized forces, as long as they do not threaten them, the five major forces also turn a blind eye, after all, the five major forces have established outposts to deal with demon beasts in the endless open sea, once the demon beasts attack in a big way, these small and medium-sized forces will also be called to send disciples to participate in the war against demon beasts."

After listening to Chen Si's introduction, Han Changlin finally had a preliminary idea of the major forces in this Great Zhou, and in private, I am afraid that there are a lot of small actions of these major forces, but at least in name, the entire Burning Immortal Sea is still in a relatively peaceful state.

Thinking of this, Han Changlin asked Chen Si to take him into the shops of Xiancheng, bought a few points of the sea charts around the sea, and spent ten lower grade spirit stones to receive a Dao order.

Then, after Han Changlin threw five lower grade spirit stones to Chen Si, he turned around and walked towards the gate of Guanhai City.

Looking at the five lower-grade spirit stones in his hand, Chen Si's face was full of surprise, and he secretly said in his heart that this senior is really generous, usually after he has dried his lips and tongue, he can be rewarded with two or three lower-grade spirit stones, and he has already met a nobleman.

And this senior actually gave himself five low-grade spirit stones casually, which was almost worth a month's income.

Han Changlin naturally didn't care about these, and when he got out of the city gate, Han Changlin controlled the jade hook and turned into a thick dark green light, shooting into the vast blue waves, and disappeared between the sea and the sky in the blink of an eye.

A few days later, Han Changlin looked down from a thousand feet in the sky and saw that on the sea in the distance, a large number of islands appeared, and these islands were like verdant gems, dotted in the vast waves.

Dozens of miles in front of him, there were three large islands, each of which was at least a hundred miles in circumference, and the three islands were lined up and separated from each other no more than a hundred miles.

And on the periphery of these three islands, there are dozens of smaller islands, and these islands almost wrap up the area that Han Changlin can see.

And beyond these islands, there are countless small islands, ranging from miles to tens of miles in a radius, stretching to the end of the sea and sky.

Han Changlin thought secretly, it seems that this is the Descending Star Islands, he silently recalled a few charts in his mind, and after verifying them, he confirmed that the large island in front of him was the Descending Star Islands.

Han Changlin pressed the light and flew towards the big island in the center, at this moment Han Changlin had already seen the light around from time to time, shuttling between the sea and the sky and white clouds.

And on the surface of the sea of these islands, there are also countless huge ships coming and going, looking busy and lively.

Soon Han Changlin landed on a wharf, outside the wharf were rows of huge wooden boats, the big ones were hundreds of zhang long, and the small ones were twenty or thirty zhang long.

And when many mortals on the dock saw Han Changlin descending from the sky, they all showed reverent eyes and secretly looked at Han Changlin.

Han Changlin didn't pay attention to the awe-inspiring gaze of these mortals, but walked towards the city above the dock like the rest of the immortal cultivators who had landed.

A strong aura rushed to his face, making Han Changlin feel refreshed, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, this Descending Star Islands was indeed an excellent place for immortal cultivators to cultivate, and the intensity of the aura here was not inferior to the Qingdan Peak of Dancao Mountain.

Han Changlin, who walked out of the city, found that the island showed a pattern of medium and high and low around, surrounded by some streets, and the streets were full of shops on both sides.

Most of the items sold in the shop were materials on the demon beasts, but Han Changlin just glanced at them and withdrew his gaze, these materials were all materials on the first-order demon beasts.

It may still be of some use to a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, but for him, it is not worth it at all.

Han Changlin walked around the mountain road towards the center of the island, he was looking for the "Immortal Residence Pavilion" that Chen Si said a few days ago, but he had been looking for a long time, and he had never seen the words "Immortal Residence Pavilion".

I saw that I had come to the halfway point of the mountain.

"Stop coming."

At this time, three women with swords on their backs suddenly came out, these three women looked to be no more than twenty-something, two of them were in the seventh layer of qi refining and one was in the eighth layer of qi refining.

They were wearing a set of yellow-green long skirts, and the position of their chests was embroidered with a blue wave pattern, Han Changlin understood after a little thought, these three women should be the people of the Imperial Water Palace.

"The above is the place where the elders of the outer gate of the Imperial Water Palace are cultivated, and idle people are not allowed to enter, although the senior is a foundation building monk, he must not be disobeyed."

The woman at the eighth level of Qi refining said with a proud face.

Hearing this, Han Changlin couldn't help frowning, this woman's tone made him quite unhappy, but he didn't show it, but smiled slightly, and said:

"When I first came to this Descending Star Islands, I want to find the Immortal Pavilion, I wonder if the three of you can give me a direction?"

When the woman at the eighth level of Qi refining heard this, her face softened slightly:

"It turns out that the seniors want to lease the cultivation cave mansion, but they went in the wrong direction, and the seniors also came up from the dock, on the left side of the dock, there is a mountain road, and if you walk along the mountain road, you can see the Xianju Pavilion."

"I see, thank you, girl."

When Han Changlin heard this, his face showed a sudden look, feeling that the Immortal Pavilion was not in this city.

After Han Changlin said goodbye and left, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the city, and he also deliberately walked around along the way, and found that there were not many immortal cultivators in this island city, and the few immortal cultivators were all low-level immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period.

This made Han Changlin a little surprised, the aura on this island is still very strong, and cultivating here is definitely twice the result with half the effort, but in fact, except for some low-level Qi refining period cultivators here, Han Changlin has not seen any of the foundation building period immortal cultivators.

Soon, Han Changlin walked out of the city gate and found the mountain road that the woman said before, this mountain road was very quiet, just a stone path, if it wasn't for the woman's guidance, he really wouldn't have connected it with the Xianju Pavilion.

After walking for several miles, Han Changlin saw that there was an attic not far ahead, with only one floor, and the plaque on it was engraved with the words "Xianju Pavilion".

Han Changlin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and soon he came to the attic and was about to knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

A lazy voice came from inside the door.

Hearing this, Han Changlin gently pushed open the door and walked in.

Han Changlin saw at a glance that in the attic, there was a table and a wooden bed, and a fifty-year-old man was slowly getting up from the bed.

"Daoist friends want to lease the Cultivation Cave Mansion?"

The old man got out of bed, sat down at the table, took out a golden booklet from under the table, and said lightly.

"Yes."

The old man nodded, then bent down again and got under the table, and after a few moments, crawled out with a hide in his hand.

On the animal skin was the chart of this sea area, and Han Changlin could see the islands on it at a glance, most of which were marked with red.

"The ones that are marked on them are all rented out, so you can choose one of the unmarked islands."

The old man pushed the animal skin in front of Han Changlin.

Looking at the dense islands on top of the hides, I am afraid that there are not hundreds, and at least more than half of them are marked with red.

"The island where Daoist friends are located now is called Baiyang, and the two islands next to it are Zimu Island and Huangshi Island, these three islands are Baiyang Zhenren, Zimu Zhenren and Huangshi Zhenren, the cultivation dojo of the three outer sect elders of our Imperial Water Palace."

"These three islands are not allowed for outsiders to stay on them for a long time, only some low-level Qi refining stage disciples of our Imperial Water Palace can stay on the three islands, and they are not allowed to enter the area above the mountainside."

"Including the thirty-nine sub-islands on the periphery, they are also the cultivation places of our inner disciples of the Imperial Water Palace, and they are not leased to the outside world, only the rest of the small islands are rented to the outside world, in principle, the closest island here has the strongest aura, as for the price, one hundred lower grade spirit stones per year, if it is leased for more than ten years at a time, it can be discounted by eight." The old man said beside him when Han Changlin was picking an island.

Hearing this, Han Changlin's heart moved, and he raised his head and asked:

"But I don't know if there is a market around this Descending Star Islands where we and other foundation monks trade goods?"

"Naturally, there is a Fang City, in the southeast direction of the Descending Star Islands, about 10,000 miles or so, there is a Black Rock Island, this Black Rock Island is also the territory of our Imperial Water Palace, there is the largest Fang Market in the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles of sea area, and there are all kinds of materials and items on it, including many immortal cultivators who are diving in this Descending Star Islands, most of them go to the Fang Market on Black Rock Island to buy the items they need."

"So that's the case, thank you for solving your doubts, Han will choose this island."

Han Changlin pointed to a remote island due east on the chart and spoke.

"How long do you want to lease?"

Seeing the island chosen by Han Changlin, the old man's eyes showed a surprised expression, the location of this island is relatively remote, and it is also far away from the three main islands, and the aura on it must be very ordinary in his mind.

And around it, there are several islands that are closer to Zimu Island in the north, and the people in front of him do not choose the closer island, but choose the more remote one, which makes the old man a little puzzled.

However, he didn't say much, after all, since the other party chose that remote island, he naturally had his own considerations, and the old man didn't care about the reason.

"Let's lease it for a hundred years temporarily."

After thinking about it, Han Changlin took out a bag of spirit stones from the storage bag and put it on the table.

The old man counted it with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that it was eight thousand low-grade spirit stones, he took out a jet-black token from behind the table, and the back of the token was a number "128".

"This is a token for entering and exiting the island, as long as the Taoist friend drops a drop of blood on the token, you can use the token to enter and exit the prohibition on the island, in addition, there are a few things, and you have to remind the Taoist friend in advance."

After a pause, the old man continued:

"On every island, there are some mortals living on it, and the immortal cultivators who cultivate on it also need to take on the responsibility of protecting these mortals, of course, in return, those mortals will donate some spirit stones every year, as for how much they donate, it depends on their hearts and the amount of help that Dao friends give them."

Hearing this, Han Changlin couldn't help frowning, but soon, he was indifferent, since he was cultivating on that island, within the scope of his ability, it was nothing to protect these mortals.

And what the old man said obviously did not mean to be compulsive.

"Of course, under normal circumstances, a small number of first-order beginner and middle-level demon beasts, those mortals can also deal with them by themselves, only when there are some first-order high-level or even Great Perfection-level demon beasts, only need Daoyou to take action, and if it is a demon beast that is not capable of Daoyou, Daoyou can completely withdraw and leave."

Hearing this, Han Changlin was a little puzzled, not for the old man, when he encountered a demon beast that he was not capable of, he could completely withdraw, but for those mortals who were able to deal with the first-order early and middle-order demon beasts.

In his opinion, even a first-order beginner-level demon beast is far more powerful than an ordinary beast, and ordinary mortals can actually compete, which is too incredible, even those martial arts masters who have cultivated their internal strength to the peak are definitely not the opponents of demon beasts.

However, Han Changlin didn't ask, as long as he arrived at the island, he would naturally find someone to ask.

After completing the formalities, Han Changlin said goodbye and left the "Immortal Pavilion", and before returning to the dock, Han Changlin had already turned into a ray of light, flying in the northeast direction, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
