Chapter 150: Crossing the Broken Cloud Mountains (Subscription Requested)
Thousands of peaks stand in a forest, thousands of rivers flow, surrounded by a sea of clouds.
These twelve words are probably a portrayal of the scenery in the Broken Cloud Mountains.
After flying over the snow-capped peaks facing the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation realm, the vibrant side of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range immediately appeared in Zhou Yang's sight.
Before crossing the "Great Wall of Ice and Snow" composed of snow-capped mountains, who would have thought that after the snow-capped mountains, there would be such a vibrant scene.
Mountains are connected to mountains, water is connected to water, and mountains and rivers depend on each other, jointly constructing a beautiful natural landscape painting.
A mountain here is higher than a mountain, and the boundless sand sea is a thousand zhang peak that is difficult to see in the immortal world, and it can really be seen everywhere here.
Each peak is covered with clouds and mist, forming a continuous sea of clouds between each other, and the peaks of the sea of clouds are like fairy islands in the sea.
Between the peaks of the mountains is a deep valley forest, and rivers and streams of all sizes meander through the canyons and finally merge into the mountain lakes.
And among these peaks, canyons, forests, and rivers, all kinds of birds and animals live.
Most of the birds and beasts that inhabit here live in groups, and the leaders of the group of beasts are demon beasts of various levels.
Those low-level demon beasts can only wander and forage in the mountains with their own populations, while the third-order and fourth-order demon beasts tend to occupy the mountains as kings, occupying one or more spiritual mountains with strong spiritual energy to support the entire clan.
Unlike the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm's poor resources, the Broken Cloud Mountain Range is extremely rich in spiritual resources, and all kinds of Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm's second- and third-order spiritual trees and elixirs that are regarded as treasures by low-level cultivators, and a large number of existences can be seen on almost every spiritual mountain here.
In the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, the spirit mountains below the third order cannot be called spirit mountains at all, because even if they are ordinary small peaks without spiritual veins, the intensity of the spiritual energy on the mountain can catch up with those second-order lower grade spirit mountains in the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm.
It is precisely because of this unique environment that a powerful population of demon beasts in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range has been created, and it is also because of the existence of countless demon beast populations here, which has blocked the direct contact and communication between the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyun Continent and the Immortal Cultivation Realm of the Extreme West.
What's more, every tens of hundreds of years, those fifth-order demon beasts in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range will join forces to create a "beast tide" to impact the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm on the other side, and through the hands of the immortal cultivators, they will consume the nearly saturated demon beast population in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range.
However, now, in this Broken Cloud Mountain Range, where the demon beasts gathered, there was a white cloud carrying three human immortal cultivators across the mountain range.
After Cao Wenjin took Zhou Yang and Yang Wenxiong into the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, he gave up the flying boat magic weapon and used the "Soaring Clouds and Fog" magic power to fly with the two of them.
It was at this time that Zhou Yang discovered that Huangshamen did not master any secret passages, but relied on a secret spiritual incense "Hidden Spirit Incense" to hide the aura fluctuations and mana aura emitted when flying, so as to avoid the eyes and ears of the demon beasts in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range.
After the smoke emitted by the ignition of this "Hidden Spirit Incense" is absorbed by the immortal cultivator, it will temporarily have a special effect on the immortal cultivator's mana, making the aura fluctuations caused by the use of mana almost non-existent.
And as we all know, demon beasts below the fourth order, their divine sense is not even as good as that of Qi cultivation stage cultivators, and they completely rely on their powerful senses of sight, hearing, and smell to judge and perceive the enemy.
Among them, vision is the best means for demon beasts to find enemies in advance, and the eyes of almost all demon beasts have the effect of immortal cultivators' "Heavenly Eye Technique", and they are stronger, and they can see all kinds of spiritual light that ordinary immortal cultivators can't see at a glance.
In a place like the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, the ground and sky are empty and visible at a glance, and most demon beasts can see the figure of an immortal cultivator from a long distance.
But the Broken Cloud Mountain Range is different here, the thousands of meters in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range are all thick sea of clouds, if there is no mana aura, the demon beasts on the mountains below or above are basically impossible to find the immortal cultivators flying in the sea of clouds.
Even if there are a few low-priced demon beasts with strong eyesight, or those flying demon beasts, they find the fleeting figure of an immortal cultivator in the sea of clouds, and after they chase into the sea of clouds, it will be difficult to find people again.
In this case, the only ones who could pose a threat to the immortal cultivators flying in the sea of clouds were those fourth-order and fifth-order demon beasts whose divine sense and perception were quite strong.
However, these fourth-order and fifth-order demon beasts have basically been sleeping and meditating in their lairs for a long time, and they will not leave their territory Lingshan easily.
Moreover, after entering the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, the immortal cultivators of the Huangshamen would deliberately avoid those peaks with strong spiritual energy and fourth-order spiritual veins or even fifth-order spiritual veins.
Therefore, as long as there is a cultivation in the Purple Mansion Period, and you know the correct way to avoid it, and with the assistance of the "Hidden Spirit Incense", the success rate of crossing the Broken Cloud Mountain Range is still very high.
As for why the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Period is necessary, it is very simple, because only the Purple Mansion Period cultivators can fly for a long time without landing to replenish mana.
Only the monks of the Purple Mansion period were able to practice various spiritual pupil secret techniques after opening up the Purple Mansion, and then through the spiritual pupil secret technique, they found those powerful demon beasts that did not know how to hide their aura from a distance of tens or hundreds of miles, as well as high-level spiritual mountains with strong spiritual energy, and avoided them in advance.
Cao Wenjin, a Jindan period monk, personally went out, and the effect would be even better.
The white clouds transformed by the magic power of "Soaring Clouds and Fog" are integrated into the sea of clouds, which is really no different from the sea of clouds, even those eagle-like demon beasts with sharp eyes, and they can't see the three Zhou Yang who are covered by the white clouds through the vast sea of clouds.
And with Cao Wenjin's powerful mana cultivation, as long as the spirit stones carried on his body are not exhausted, he can always maintain the "Soaring Clouds and Fog" magic power to fly.
Zhou Yang and Yang Wenxiong followed Cao Wenjin's instructions along the way, and kept their mouths shut as spectators all the way, silently admiring the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers in the Broken Cloud Mountains.
This magnificent scenery, which is completely different from the boundless sand sea, may only be seen once or twice in their lives, and it is certainly worth admiring.
Zhou Yang didn't know how wide the Broken Cloud Mountain Range was, he only knew that after Cao Wenjin took himself and Yang Wenxiong into the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, he flew non-stop for half a month, and he didn't fly out of the boundary of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range.
And with Cao Wenjin's flight speed, even if he took two people, even if he didn't dare to let go of his full speed in order to prevent exposing his body in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, even if he often needed to make a detour in order to avoid those high-level spirit mountains, half a month would be enough to fly out of two or three hundred thousand miles!
With such a long distance, it is no wonder that even the Purple Mansion Period monks did not dare to easily try to cross the Broken Cloud Mountain Range without the "Hidden Spirit Incense".
However, after flying continuously for half a month, Zhou Yang also slowly discovered that the altitude of the mountains and rivers in front of him was gradually decreasing, and the concentration of spiritual energy was also slowly decreasing.
This showed that they had already crossed the central area of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, and were approaching the periphery of the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm like the Broken Cloud Mountain Range.
After flying like this for about three days, Zhou Yang's eyes were clear, and the sea of clouds that traversed the entire Broken Cloud Mountain Range was about to disappear sparsely in front of him.
"Okay, when we get here, it's basically safe, and in another day, we will be able to reach the six immortal cities established by the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm on the periphery of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range!"
The white clouds went out to sea, and Cao Wenjin, who was tense on the clouds all the time, finally relaxed, and rarely took the initiative to speak out.
Hearing his words, Zhou Yang and Yang Wenxiong also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Cao Wenjin was certainly under the most pressure along the way, but their mood was not much easier.
After all, if he encounters danger, Cao Wenjin is still very likely to escape with his life, and the two of them fall into the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, where the demon beasts gather, and they are basically dead.
"Yang Daoyou, the ...... in the mouth of the ancestor" Zhou Yang's face was relieved, and he just wanted to ask Yang Wenxiong next to him about the origin of the six immortal cities in Cao Wenjin's mouth.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he was halfway through his words, a majestic and long horn suddenly sounded from an unknown distance ahead.
Woo-woo-woo-
The long horn sound sounded from an unknown distance ahead, even from a long distance, after hearing this horn sound, Zhou Yang was also full of hot and boiling blood, and a desire to fight and kill was born in his heart for no reason.
He looked at Cao Wenjin and Yang Wenxiong next to him, but found that the faces of these two people did not change, as if they did not feel anything abnormal at all.
It made him almost wonder if he had gone mad!
Fortunately, in the next moment, Cao Wenjin's reaction let him know that the situation on his body was not without a cause.
"It's not good, this is the sound of the [Beastmaster's horn], and the beast tide has broken out in front of you!"
Cao Wenjin's face changed wildly and he exclaimed, and his complexion, which had just been relieved easily, instantly darkened.
"Ancestor, what is the [Beastmaster's Horn]?"
Zhou Yang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly used his mana divine sense to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and asked with a suspicious face.
However, Cao Wenjin had no time to answer his question at this time, and after he exclaimed, he immediately made a decision and flew back into the sea of clouds.
"Let me explain it to Zhou Daoyou!"
Yang Wenxiong walked with Zhou Yang all the way, and the two sides could be regarded as having a friendship, so he explained to him on behalf of Cao Wenjin.
It turned out that the "Beast King Horn" in Cao Wenjin's mouth, just like its name, was a special magic weapon refined by a sixth-order demon king with the beast horn he had shed.
Once the demon beast reaches the sixth order, its spiritual wisdom is no different from that of an immortal cultivator, and it can even transform into a human form and learn from an immortal cultivator how to arrange arrays, make talismans, refine weapons, alchemy, and so on to enrich its means.
The "Beastmaster Horn" is a special magic weapon with a grade as high as a fifth-order high-grade, and when it is used, it requires the combined efforts of at least one fifth-order high-grade demon beast or three fifth-order middle-grade demon beasts to blow.
And once the "Beast King's Horn" is blown, all the demon beasts below the fourth order within a radius of 100,000 miles will be uncontrollably attracted by the sound of the horn to assemble where the sound sounds, and then under the drive of the fifth-order demon beasts, a "beast tide" will flock to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm outside the Broken Cloud Mountain Range.
Although human immortal cultivators are not controlled by the "Beast King's Horn", they do not have the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Period, and they will also be slightly affected by the sound of the horn, resulting in negative emotions of killing and destruction.
Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand why Cao Wenjin was so frightened that he retracted directly into the sea of clouds after hearing the sound of the "Beast King's horn".
That's at least one fifth-order high-grade demon beast or three fifth-order middle-grade demon beasts!
At this time, if he dared to show his head and appear in the sky in front of him, even if he had the "Hidden Spirit Incense" to help him restrain the fluctuations of his aura, without the cover of the sea of clouds, his figure would be easily exposed to the sight of the fifth-order demon beasts and many low-level demon beasts that were attracted by the sound of the horn and gathered in the past.
What's more, Cao Wenjin also knew some things that Yang Wenxiong didn't know, that is, every time the demon beasts in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range formed a "beast tide" and hit the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the Yunzhou Outside the Mountain, there would be a sixth-order demon king hiding in the shadows to follow and shock those Yuan Infant Stage cultivators in the human race.
Sometimes, even the sixth-order demon kings will take the initiative to find a human primordial infant stage monk for a strong showdown!
"This is troublesome, once the beast tide is formed, it will definitely not end in ten or eight years, for such a long time, we can't hide in the sea of clouds all the time and not go out!"
In the sea of clouds, Cao Wenjin looked at the scene of thousands of beasts galloping on the ground below, and his face could no longer be described as difficult.
