The Rock Wasteland was much more desolate than Zhou Yang had imagined.

He received news from the mortal herdsmen that he could reach a land of lofty mountains and mountains tens of thousands of miles to the west, so he flew all the way west to Edgeworth.

However, all the places he flew through were only a few shrubs and weeds, and many places were simply weathered rock areas, full of bare rocks, no wonder they were called rock wastelands.

He didn't know if there were any other immortal cultivators living here besides the spiritual mountain he had seen before, anyway, he hadn't seen any monks along the way.

And after he flew more than 30,000 miles west, he did see the lofty mountains and mountains in the herdsmen's mouths.

It was a continuous group of mountains that I don't know how long, Zhou Yang was hundreds of miles away from the sky and lifted the "golden pupil from the fire" to look at, it can be seen that there are many snow-capped peaks among the mountains, and you can also see a dazzling aura rising from some peaks, obviously there are spiritual veins on those peaks.

After looking at the mountains from a distance for a while, Zhou Yang did not have any intention of approaching, and quickly turned around and returned to the Rock Wasteland.

Needless to think about, he also knew that there must be a high-level monk in those mountains, and there might even be an immortal cultivator sect rooted there, and he couldn't venture to meet other monks of the same level when he still didn't know anything about this extreme western land.

Otherwise, when it comes to communication, he doesn't know what he asks, and it is easy to reveal flaws and be suspected of his origin.

Returning to the place where everyone in the Zhou family rested outside the valley, Zhou Yang explained the situation to Daoist Xiao Ying and a few foundation building monks, and then took Xu Song to those herdsmen tribes to squat.

On this day, Zhou Yang, who had been squatting in the herdsman tribe for several days, finally waited for the immortal master who came down from the top of the "holy mountain" to test the spiritual roots of the herdsmen children.

There are a total of seven of these so-called immortal masters, except for the leading monk who is in the early stage of foundation building, the other six are all in the late stage of Qi cultivation.

At this time, the children in the herdsman tribe who had not yet tested their spiritual root qualifications had already been taken to a vacant lot by the lake in advance to wait in line under the leadership of their parents.

After those immortal cultivators who came down from the "Holy Mountain" rode a second-order low-grade demon beast "Qingfeng Horse" to this lakeside clearing, the leading early foundation building monk immediately reached out and patted the storage bag and took out a white crystal treasure mirror.

He hung the crystal mirror above a door frame, which shone some distance in front of the door frame, and then asked the herdsmen who were holding the children to walk through the mirror in turn.

If the mirror illuminates someone with a spiritual root, the crystal treasure mirror will emit colorful spiritual light.

At this time, there would soon be a Qi cultivation period monk who would take the child aside and perform the "Spiritual Detection Technique" to conduct a specific spiritual root qualification test.

If there is no Spiritual Root, the Crystal Mirror will not react in any way.

With such a division of labor and cooperation, the speed of detection is very fast.

In a few herdsmen tribes with hundreds of thousands of people, the number of children born and surviving in three years is less than 20,000, and with the detection speed of the mirror light, one day is enough to go through the entire process.

When all the processes were completed, it was dark, and those so-called immortal masters did not return to the "Holy Mountain" with the four spiritual root children detected today, but stayed in the herdsman tribe.

It was night, the moon and stars were scarce, and the seven so-called immortal masters who stayed in the herdsmen's tribe were each holding a few beautiful women offered by the herdsmen's tribe in their arms.

Zhou Yang and Xu Song, it was under this circumstance that they secretly entered the tent to arrest people and understand the situation.

With Xu Song's help, even the monk in the foundation building period couldn't figure out what was going on and was captured, and answered all of Zhou Yang's questions honestly.

Time is limited, and Zhou Yang didn't ask too many questions, mainly asking about the points he cared about.

After asking, he asked Xu Song to control the foundation building period monk to take out a few pieces of jade slips from his storage bag and copy them, and then quietly left the tribe with one person and one ghost.

On the second day, the foundation building monk and a few Qi cultivation period monks woke up, except for the foundation building monk who walked out of the tent with a shocked face and looked around, the rest of the Qi cultivation period monks did not have the slightest impression of what happened last night.

In fact, it was the foundation monk, and he didn't remember what happened last night at all, but he vaguely felt that someone seemed to have asked him something last night, but when he wanted to remember what happened last night, he couldn't remember anything.

This situation made the foundation monk even more frightened in his heart, and he knew that something must have happened last night, and he must have been under someone's path.

Although he didn't know what he had explained last night, he didn't dare to stay in the herdsman tribe any longer, and even though he urged a few Qi cultivation period monks to bring the new disciples back to the mountain gate, he flew back to the mountain gate directly, and went to the middle and high-level of the gate to report the incident of last night.

It's just that his memory of last night was erased by Xu Song with a secret method, unless he succeeded in marrying Dan in the future, or the Yuan Infant Monk helped, otherwise it was impossible to recall what happened last night.

Either way, it's basically not something he can do.

And Zhou Yang and Xu Song had already returned to the "Falling Demon Valley" at this time and sorted out what they had gained last night.

"Falling Demon Valley" is the world in the valley that trapped Zhou Yang and them for two years, this place was an immortal city established by the Great Bright Immortal Palace thousands of years ago, in addition to the teleportation array leading to the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm, there is also a fifth-order high-grade spirit mountain and several fourth-order spirit mountains, and there are tens of thousands of monks and millions of mortals.

However, thousands of years ago, there was a serious civil strife in the Great Bright Immortal Palace, and those sects and monks in the extreme west who had long been dissatisfied with the rule of the Great Bright Immortal Palace suddenly formed an organization called the "Backlight Alliance" and jointly crusaded against the Great Bright Immortal Palace.

At that time, the "Backlight Alliance" was mixed, not only immortal cultivators, but also demon cultivators, all of whom gathered together to deal with the Great Bright Immortal Palace.

And at that time, it was a group of demon monks who attacked Immortal City.

After these demon monks invaded the Immortal City, in order to break the mountain protection array on the fifth-order Upper Spirit Mountain in the center of the Immortal City, they did not hesitate to sacrifice millions of mortals and many monks from the Great Bright Immortal Palace in the area of the Immortal City, and set up a terrifying demon array to break through the mountain protection array by breaking the formation.

And at that time, the defender of the Great Bright Immortal Palace here was also a ruthless person, when he learned that there would be no reinforcements coming, he directly laid a trap and detonated the spiritual veins and underground fire veins on the spiritual mountain, and most of the demon cultivators who attacked the immortal city were killed.

After that battle, millions of mortals and tens of thousands of monks fell in the immortal city, and the entire immortal city was destroyed by the earth-shattering explosion caused by the spiritual veins.

The name of "Falling Demon Valley" is named because thousands of demon cultivators died here in that battle.

And because the slaughter caused by the demon cultivators in that battle was too amazing, and because they had gained the upper hand in the crusade against the Great Bright Immortal Palace, the immortal cultivators in the "Backlight Alliance" used this as an excuse to rectify and clean up the internal demon cultivators.

Unintentionally, the demon cultivators in the "Backlight Alliance" were suddenly wiped out eighty or ninety percent at once, and it was the demon cultivators who escaped by luck, and in the years that followed, they were also pursued and killed by both the "Backlight Alliance" and the "Great Bright Immortal Palace".

In the past thousand years, it has been difficult to see traces of demonic cultivation activities in the entire Far West.

And the location of the original immortal city, which is now the "Falling Demon Valley", because there were too many monks and mortals who died in that battle, especially many demon monks and the monsters they refined fell there, and gradually turned into a natural yin place, coupled with some formation prohibitions that are still in operation inside, this place has become a well-known Jedi in the Rock Wasteland, and few immortal cultivators are willing to enter it.

The demon cultivator wanted to enter it to practice, but the demon cultivator who dared to do so had been slaying demons and eliminating demons for thousands of years by the Jindan monks of the "Backlight Alliance" who came to sweep from time to time.

Now, even the most daring demon cultivators dare not venture into the "Falling Demon Valley" to cultivate.

Zhou Yang and the others are also lucky, during the time they teleported, they did not encounter the Jindan period monks who came to sweep the "Falling Demon Valley", otherwise they broke the ban and made a disturbance inside, I am afraid that they would have been discovered and killed.

"Now that the Great Bright Immortal Palace and the Backlight Alliance rule nearly half of the Far West, and the Rock Wasteland happens to be located in the territory of the Backlight Alliance, if our Zhou family wants to gain a firm foothold here and establish a family branch, the safest choice is naturally to join the Backlight Alliance and become one of them. ”

"But the problem now is that those spiritual mountains in the territory of the Backlight Alliance have been occupied by all major sects and families, as well as scattered cultivators, if our Zhou family wants to establish a clan here, we must either invest a lot of spirit stones to build a spiritual mountain in a remote place, or we can only establish merit in the war between the Backlight Alliance and the Great Bright Immortal Palace, and exchange the merit for a spiritual mountain as a foundation land!"

Outside the "Falling Demon Valley", Zhou Yang told several family foundation building monks the news he learned during his interrogation, not only to let these people know the current situation, but also to see if these clansmen had any ideas.

"Elder Taishang, an alliance like the Backlight Alliance, which is composed of several major sects and many small and medium-sized sects and families, is certainly suitable for the survival of an immortal cultivation family like our Zhou family, but on the other hand, if they really encounter a war, I am afraid that a small force like us, who is new to them, will also easily become the abandoned sons of those in power in the alliance, and be sent by them to carry out those most dangerous tasks!"

"Therefore, the junior thinks that we should not rush to join a certain party first, we can use the identity of casual cultivation to operate in the extreme west first, and wait until we fully understand the survival method of the sect family here, and then decide to join one of them!"

To Zhou Yang's surprise, the first monk to speak out was not a few monks of the Zhou family, but Li Hong, a relative monk.

He brought this Li Hong back to the extreme west this time, with the original intention of valuing his excellent fighting ability and wanting to train him to become a member of the Zhou family's branch in the extreme west.

But now it seems that this Li Hong is not only good at fighting, but also not weak in terms of overall planning.

Looks like you've found a treasure!

Zhou Yang glanced at Li Hong in surprise and delight, and his attention to this person has increased again.

A smile flashed on his face, and he looked at the other party with the intention of taking the school examination and asked, "Xiao Li, you are right, then in your opinion, how can we have so many monks enter the extreme west through the Rock Wasteland and the Falling Cloud Mountain Range safely without revealing our origins?"
