Chapter 443: A Hundred Years in a Hurry (Two in One)
Shrouded in the kingdom by night, the afterglow of the Tianhe River is scattered all over the place with a little starry light, like fireflies in a summer dream, flowing in the night fragrance flowers, rendering this place with an indescribable ethereal illusion.
This is a shallow dream, a place made up of individual cognition and soul.
Ordinary people's dreams are bound to be bizarre, even monks, and the stable existence of this dream world, even with a sense of absurdity and illusory, is enough to show its strength in dream attainment.
And in the center of the dream, the figure on the high platform, is motionless, as if resting.
This figure is none other than Lin Chen.
At this moment, it was as if he had fallen into a long dream, and his face was quiet and peaceful, as if he had fallen into a long sleep here.
At the time of the final teleportation, in order to resist the interference of Tianhe, he used his terrifying talent to induce the power of the dream to descend.
Although he successfully escaped, in the process, as the host, he was entwined by the power of the three, and finally fell into this illusory world built by the power of dreams, the afterglow of the heavenly river, and the refining of the void talisman.
Now that he was trapped here, in order to escape, no, to be precise, in order to completely refine and control this place, he had to merge with it through his long sleep.
If he can successfully fuse, then he will be able to use the Void Refining Talisman as a carrier, evolve the heavens and the earth in his dreams, and embark on his own path of Yuanying, and the door to Void Refining will also be completely open to him.
Even in the future, as long as he turns the void into reality, from an ethereal dream to the real world, then he is the only immortal of the imaginary realm in this world for millions of years!
Of course, this process is also a long and difficult process, but taking the first step is more important than anything else.
However, it is not easy to combine the power of these three to build a dream world with infinite potential, and it will take a long time.
This time may be a month, half a year...... Even, hundreds of years.
Outside of dreams, time is passing at an unprecedented rate.
β¦β¦
A year later.
Return to the ruins, in the world of fragments.
In the middle of a continuous, gloomy mountain range.
The surrounding light is extremely dim, overcast, and it is difficult to see sunlight all day long, and some plants and trees also grow strangely shaped, twisted and hideous, faintly dating people to see ghosts.
This is the place where the White Bone Gate is located in a radius of thousands of miles, and there is a Jindan-level White Bone Demon in it, which is an existence that even many demons and monsters in the vicinity are afraid of.
But now, on this lifeless, forbidden place for the living, there is a huge and terrifying sword formation that completely envelops it.
Under the raging terrifying sword aura, even though the Jindan White Bone Demons in it struggled frantically, they were still forcibly annihilated by countless sword lights and even their souls!
"Phewβthis guy is finally dead!"
Seeing that the white bone demon in front of him was slashed with a thousand knives, Zhang Hao in mid-air finally showed a touch of happiness for revenge.
A year ago, since he arrived here, in the fragment of a world in the ruins, he has been faintly targeted by the remnants of the will of this world.
Originally, he wanted to find a place to heal, but he was targeted by these demons and monsters one after another, wanting to devour him to increase his strength.
In order to escape from their pursuit, he didn't know how much he had suffered, and now that his strength has been restored, he naturally wants to take revenge one by one and destroy it!
"This is the other party's White Bone Golden Pill?"
Zhang Hao stretched out his hand, and a spirit pill that looked like a white bone relic, exuding a faint coercion, flew into his hand.
He played with the white bone relic and asked lightly:
"Elder Shu, you said you can use this thing to create a magic weapon that covers your own breath?"
"That's right, you can use the divine souls of the creatures of this heaven and earth to refine a magic weapon that covers your own breath, so as to avoid being targeted by the remaining world." Elder Shu reminded, "This concealment process must not last long, otherwise it will be secretly assimilated by this world. β
"I see." Zhang Hao nodded, indicating that he understood.
And the old man seemed to think of something, hesitated, and said:
"By the way, there's one thing I have to explain to you first."
"Huh? What's wrong? Zhang Hao, who was about to leave, was suddenly stunned when he heard this.
ββ¦β¦ That is, the cultivation of Jin Dan can be in the fragments of this world, but when you break through the Yuan Infant, it is best to return to the main world. Elder Shu hesitated for a moment and said.
"Why is that?!" Zhang Hao frowned when he heard this.
What happened before, how dangerous it is to go back, he doesn't know, not to mention that the fragments of this world are also not small, and even have the location of the Yuan Infant Demon, which shows that there is no shortage of resources for breakthroughs.
So why did he go back?
"Returning to the ruins is not as simple as you think, storing the wreckage of the world is only one of its functions, and there are even more strange things......"
"And now the fragments of the world you are in are in ruins, although they continue to float under the action of the Tianhe River and merge into the original heaven and earth, but this is ...... after all"
After Zhang Hao listened, he probably understood what it meant.
It's that the old man feels that there is a hidden danger in breaking through here, but he doesn't know where the problem is, so he reminds him.
But it doesn't matter, he is not the kind of person who does not listen to persuasion, since the treasure of the family has said so, he will do it.
Thinking of this, his figure flashed and disappeared on the mountain of white bones.
β¦β¦
More than ten years later, over the sea area where Lin Chen and the two left.
Gone is the turquoise sea, replaced by a small, vibrant continent with a lot of people.
And on the central mountain range of this new continent, the Star Mist True Monarch and the Lingyuan Venerable stood side by side, looking at the vast land below the mountain.
"The mid-level spiritual veins have been successfully migrated, and a large number of human races have been put everywhere, next, it's time to discharge the polluted black mist into this place." Xingli Zhenjun said lightly.
"This ...... Is it really going to be okay? β
The Venerable Lingyuan, who was originally extremely supportive of this experiment, seemed a little worried at this critical moment.
After all, if something happens, he will bear the brunt of it, but his Lingyuan Island.
"Wealth is in danger, besides, since the decision has been made, how can you change the hexagram temporarily?" Starlight True Monarch sneered and said, "What's more, this is not a request, but a ...... Command. β
Hearing this, the Venerable Lingyuan fell silent and did not say another word.
And Starlight True Monarch didn't pay any attention to him anymore, but pinched the magic seal in his hand, and a mysterious fluctuation poured out from his palm.
In an instant, in the sea near the mainland, the black fog that had been imprisoned for more than ten years suddenly lost its restraints.
The next moment, the black sea of fog was like a beast that had been hungry for a long time, and between the rolling clouds and waves, it covered the sky and violently eroded towards the continent layer by layer!
In just a few moments, the blue water became dark and stinky, the floating corpses and the wriggling of the mutant beasts were crowded, and the silvery white sand was stained with a layer of mold......
On the continent, under the black fog, the vegetation withered, countless animals and plants changed, and the people who came into contact also let out terrible wails and screams......
When it came into contact with the aura emitted by the underground spiritual veins, it underwent an even more bizarre aberration, giving birth to countless creepy evil things.
There are viscous, mud-like flesh masses, thousands of illusory and pale ghosts with thousands of resentful faces, and grave demons made up of countless corpses......
Under the shroud of black fog, on this small continent, strange distortions are occurring everywhere.
Even the light of the sun and moon in the sky, under the influence of the black fog, turned dusk and blood one after another, revealing a strange ominousness.
And the people who have lived here for more than ten years and have a population of millions have ushered in real terror and despair.
The pollution of the black mist, the strange creatures, the curse of the dead...... But whenever it touches a little, the heavy casualties can be regarded as light.
And they can only passively accept this, and they can't escape from here.
Because at this moment, on the periphery of this continent, above the Nine Heavens, there was a steady stream of spiritual energy falling, and finally a terrifying array was formed, sealing off the ten thousand laws, isolating the interior in one fell swoop, and cutting off their hope of escaping.
"You are optimistic about this place, and every ten years, the alliance will carry out a race release and monk exile to ensure that the experiments can be carried out continuously."
In the sky above the outer reaches of the continent, Xingqi Zhenjun looked at this tragic scene, and his face was unmoved.
After all, for her, who has a lifespan of nearly thousands of years, the life of a mortal is less than a hundred years, but it is like an ant dying day and night, which really can't arouse empathy.
Not to mention that these released human races have been polluted by black fog before, and although they still look like humanoids, they are essentially in a half-life, half-dead, half-human, half-demon existence, and they are not human races at all.
So she naturally won't have any mercy when she moves.
"Yes." Master Lingyuan took the order.
Xingli Zhenjun glanced at him, and commanded:
"You stay here, pay attention to whether there are any clues about the two people who escaped back then, and if you find it, contact this seat in time!"
More than ten years ago, when the Tianji Gate of the Middle Earth Continent received the news, it immediately rushed to investigate as quickly as possible, and even dispatched a Yuanying-level elder in the gate for this purpose.
However, he used various means to probe, and even forcibly asked for the help of the people of the Dead River Sect, but in the end, he only came to the conclusion that he was not in this realm.
The Heavenly Pilots of the Alliance speculated that they had either hidden in the outer realms or fallen into the ruins, and they could not lock their specific location at all, so they could only give up for the time being.
However, the other two have also been on the wanted warrant of the Immortal League, and once they reappear in the Inland Sea, they will inevitably be hunted down by the Immortal League.
"Obey."
Seeing this, Xingli Zhenjun nodded, didn't say anything more, but turned around and left directly.
β¦β¦
Fifty years later, the edge of Lingnan.
In the place where Lin Chen's Great Qian Dynasty experimented with the Inner Dan Law in the past, the successor power of the Taiping Dao walked out of the boundless snow-capped mountains and entered Lingnan.
They investigated the situation here, and accidentally found a monk from the Daoist Academy under the Qingyun Sect who had come to recruit Linggen disciples.
"Are you saying that in three days, there will be a so-called immortal master who will come here and recruit that what, what kind of spirit spirit, spirit root and other mortals?"
"That's right, and I heard that they also have to hand in something called a spirit stone."
"Immortal Master, Spirit Root, Spirit Stone?" The Taiping Dao man repeated these words, hesitated for a moment, and said, "In that case, then let's wait here for a few days and meet the so-called immortal master." β
"Okay."
Three days later, the immortal master came as promised, and a few people from Taiping Dao were also ready to do it.
At this moment, the method of Neidan, refining qi and cultivating immortals, these two are based on the same set of theories, walking on two separate paths, but they have the same cultivation system, and on this day, the prelude to contact and collision was opened.
β¦β¦
More than 30 years later, Lingnan, the place where the gods fell.
Originally, it was clear that there was a life and one death, like the place where the gods of yin and yang fell, but at this moment, it turned into a boundless, dark red and cracked land.
Countless cracks spread all over the earth, the color of the land was like a long-dried bloodstain, and the whole land was like a charred corpse covered with cracks and dead marks, and there was an indescribable horror.
And in the center of this place, there stood a naked, lifeless, dark red and cracked figure, just standing there, causing the entire area to be plunged into a hot hell, and even the air was twisted and boiling.
It is the lord of the Demon Cave in the Northwest - the Drought Fish!
Over the course of decades, he had finally refined the remnants of the Land of the Fallen Gods, and had successfully transformed into the Son of the Drought Fish!
At this time, the drought was standing on the ground, and its pupils, which exuded a permeating death intent, suddenly turned, and looked at the clearing on the side:
"You're here, Heavenly Devil."
The next moment, a voice that couldn't distinguish between male and female shemales suddenly appeared:
"You've completed your metamorphosis, and now it's time to fulfill the deal."
"[Reversing the overall situation of heaven and earth, yin and yang, feng shui] is ready?" The thin face of the drought fish moved.
"The number of blood sacrifices has reached five, and it can be opened at any time! However, just in case, to clear all obstacles, we need to take the lead in getting rid of the East China Sea Immortal Alliance! β
Hearing this, the drought sneered, and I don't know if it was mockery or what it meant:
"Defeat the East China Sea Immortal Alliance, aren't you kidding? The other party has been fighting with our Demon Dao for millions of years, and it has been passed down endlessly, where is it so easy to defeat?! β
"The Nanhua Dream Sect is destroyed in the hands of this demon master, what is impossible?" The voice that did not distinguish between men and women said coldly, "Not to mention that this demon master has been planning for so long, with the help of the Lingnan matter, the combat power of the two gods and goddesses will be unbalanced, this is enough to be an opportunity for us to do it!" β
"You and I are restrained by the Taixuan Moon Spirit, and the one of the Mixed Yuan Five Elements Sect is controlled by the Mountain Monarch, even if my doppelganger has reached the Tianzun combat power, it is enough to join forces with the Jiao Emperor, but it is almost impossible to leave the Canghai holding the Tianhe River!" Dryfish said in a cold tone.
If he couldn't do it, he would never have exposed this clone.
"Don't worry, the ultimate goal of the Tianhe faction is contrary to the rest of the immortal sects of the Immortal Alliance, the two seem to be separated, we don't need to deal with the sea, this demon lord has his own way to deal with the Tianhe faction." Heavenly Demon Dao, "The only thing we need to deal with is the Divine Heaven Righteous Dharma Dao!" β
"It's just the Divine Heaven Fa Dao?" After hearing this, a touch of humanized doubt appeared on the dry and stiff face of the drought fish, and then he seemed to think of something, and his pupils shrank suddenly, "Could it be [Dead River]......"
"That's right." The Heavenly Demon said lightly, "'He' has already agreed to cooperate with us. β
"Jie Ji, it's really the Heaven Annihilation Immortal Alliance......" Hearing this, the drought was silent for a moment, and then a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his thin face, and he said coldly, "Since that's the case, let's do it." β
Between the words, his entire figure disappeared directly in place, and with it, there was a vague illusory figure at the intersection of dream and reality.
And not long after he left, a change occurred.
Although it has undergone decades of restoration, the Lingnan Immortal Cultivation Realm has regained its former glory, and even the concentration of spiritual energy has even reached a higher level.
But the place where the gods fell is still the main source of Lingnan aura.
But now this remaining source has been refined by the drought, and the remaining power has also been polluted by corpse poison.
The aura that decomposed from it, with a terrible corpse poison, spread throughout Lingnan through the thousand-mile trade wind channel, and integrated into the bodies of many monks.
This led to a zombie plague, a complete outbreak.
β¦β¦
In the blink of an eye, 100 years have passed.
In the past hundred years, there has not been much crisis in the Immortal League.
On the contrary, due to the gradual opening of the Age of Discovery, the successive victories of the World Fragments in the Ruins led to a blowout growth in the number of monks on the original basis, and became more and more prosperous.
Spiritual ships traveled between Middle-earth and the East China Sea, and a huge fleet of ships covered the sky and the sun, forming a golden artery for its prosperity.
In the waters of the East China Sea, not only high-flying spirit boats, but also on the vast sea, there are a large number of wooden boats, which continuously transport resources such as hardware, spirit ore, and low-grade elixirs back to the inner area of the East China Sea through the golden waterway.
In addition, several Heavenly Venerables of the Immortal Alliance secretly signaled that in the battle with the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, the exploration of the outer regions and the ruins, the intertwined clan forces in the gate or the rest of the subsidiary forces were secretly attacked, weakened, and gave the new generation of monks a channel for promotion.
So now, after tens of thousands of years, the Xianmeng seems to be about to win a prosperous era of golden development.
But no one knows whether this is another spring after the prosperity and splendor, or the last sunset before the dark ages.
But it is undeniable that right now, the world of great controversy seems to be coming.
Whether it is the changing wind and clouds or the turbulent undercurrent, they are all condensed in this century.
And in the dream realm of that night, the afterglow of Tianhe has dissipated, turning into a sky full of stars dotting the sky.
The blood-red talisman disappeared completely, forming a natural pattern that was engraved between his eyebrows.
Lin Chen's sleeping face was still motionless, quiet and peaceful, as if he was going to sleep forever, and as if he would wake up in the next moment.
However, at this moment, in this country that seemed to have fallen into eternal sleep, there was a living being that woke up first after sleeping with Lin Chen for a hundred years.
It was the natal spirit insect that Lin Chen had refined, the mother worm of the Heaven and Earth Grasshopper.
