Chapter 936: Perception and Cultivation (I)
As there were still more than ten miles away from the mountain, Xiao Nan's speed slowed down even more, and his spiritual sense carefully probed in the direction of the mountain, fortunately, so far, no powerful aura has been found.
I only found a few weak demonic beasts at the bottom of the mountain, jumping between the huge rocks, probably looking for food, although there are no huge trees in this mountain, but it is still much better than the periphery, there are many shrubs, and there are many scattered grasslands.
This is normal, but this is only an area without an active volcano, an area with an active volcano, and that is a different scene, the mountaintop and mountainside are occupied by the fiery red magma, and there are bursts of heat.
Even at the bottom of the mountain, it is composed of volcanic rock and dark red magma, and in some places it spews out hot gas more than ten meters high from time to time, reaching the clouds, and the whole mountain is synonymous with death.
It was as if Xiao Nan took off the Yin Yang Spirit Rhino on his chest, grabbed it in his hand, and injected spiritual power into it from time to time, fortunately, the Yin Yang Spirit Rhino did not give any warning, but the sharp horns flashed from time to time, and the direction it pointed to was in this big mountain.
Although Xiao Nan was a little worried, but if he didn't enter the treasure mountain, how could he get the treasure, not to mention that if he didn't pass through here, maybe he wouldn't be able to find a way out of this mysterious space, and he couldn't talk to Zhou Qiu, Brother Wa, and Xu Xiaolei and other people from the Lingyun faction.
After sorting out the emotions in his heart a little, since the Yin Yang Lingxi did not send a warning, it means that at least he will not encounter any great danger during this journey, but even so, he still has to keep himself in the peak state and prepare for all the next crises.
As Xiao Nan quickly adjusted his state, he slowly came to the foot of this big mountain, and when he arrived here, there were many natural barriers that people could hide.
Since coming to this mysterious space, he has been in the environment of the plains, there are no protrusions, and there are only small stones, and there is no way for people to hide in them, so the previous spiritual power consumption is still not large.
Although it is possible to be discovered by nearby demonic beasts, in the same way, nearby demonic beasts will also be directly discovered by themselves, so there is no need to use spiritual power to explore, just need to explore farther places.
But at the foot of the mountain, the situation is completely different, there are huge stones everywhere, and there are shrubs one or two meters high, and the potholed terrain, which can hide many dangers casually.
It seems that Xiaonan can only spread out all his spiritual sense, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation at any time, but he doesn't want to be attacked by high-level demonic beasts, although his refining body is not bad compared to ordinary monks, but compared with some demonic beasts with special bloodlines, he is still much worse. After Xiao Nan entered the foot of the mountain, he had been carefully hiding the aura on his body, and he was constantly releasing his spiritual sense to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
Looking at the black-brown mountain in the distance, and in the distance, bright red magma erupted from time to time at the top of the mountain, reaching the sky, accompanied by stones and dirt that erupted into the air, as well as the billowing smoke, making a deafening sound.
There is also dark red magma all over the mountainside, and even the mud at the foot of some of the mountains is occasionally washed over by hot gas, wrapped in pale red magma, fortunately, Xiaonan's location is the outermost part of this huge mountain, and there is no active volcano.
After a long period of wind and rain, years of evolution, plants and even animals have slowly appeared, and Yanran is a small world that is gradually evolving independently, but this can only evolve to a certain extent, and it is impossible to be like the lower cultivation realm.
In the end, human beings can evolve, after all, this mysterious small space has limitations, and it does not have all the conditions required for a complete large realm, compared to the large realm, the space of this mysterious space is even smaller and pitiful, and it can only be said to be a tiny version.
Although the temperature here is still a little higher than outside the mountains, there are so many shrubs and turf vegetation embellishments and backgrounds, although these plants are not as green and fresh as they are outside the spiritual world.
However, due to the fact that this area is composed of many volcanic groups, it has created a unique geographical environment, and it is rare to have a large area of greenery, among which the scattered green plants feel more vibrant than the plants in the outside world.
After entering the foot of this mountain, Xiaonan did not rush into the mountain, but stood in place, quietly feeling the unique geographical environment here, and had a feeling of indescribability.
However, my intuition told me that everything here seemed desolate, but if I changed to the spiritual realm or the lower realm that also had active volcanoes, there must be a huge difference from here, after all, there were not one or two volcanoes here.
Rather, it is a group of countless active volcanoes, as well as volcanoes composed of dead and living mountains, which is very rare in the spiritual realm or the lower realm, and it can be said that there is no way to find it at all, after all, this kind of great realm has evolved over tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years.
A variety of animals and plants have appeared, forming a complete biological chain, and there are human beings, who have lived for tens of thousands of years.
There have even been some human beings who can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and after cultivating the law, they can fly to the heavens and the earth, and the rules that lead to heaven and earth have been used, and even some may have already transcended or are about to transcend this world.
Whether it's the spiritual realm or the lower realm, if there is a small active volcano erupting there, it will become the focus of attention.
This is especially true in the lower cultivation world, whether it is an active volcano somewhere in the world, it will attract many volcano enthusiasts, who will travel thousands of miles to rush over to feel it for themselves, see it for themselves, and even become a hot news at the time, so that everyone can talk about it.
There would be an idea that in the black mist of the Jedi Soul Abyss, one of the best in the spiritual world, in a small mysterious space, there was a large number of volcanoes composed of active volcanoes and dead and living mountains that were unimaginable to the world.
If it is known to the monks of the spiritual or lower realms, especially the high-level monks, they will definitely flock to it, because the special environment of this place is a kind of opportunity in the eyes of such high-level monks, and it is also a kind of creation that comprehends the primordial heaven and earth.
After all, the current spiritual realm has become a complete realm, and the perception of heaven and earth may require a certain amount of luck, or a very deep understanding, after all, there are too many and too complicated Dao between heaven and earth.
But it seems that the volcanic group where Xiao Nan is located is not at all like the spiritual realm or the lower cultivation realm, the avenue is complete, but the dao here is very simple, and it can even be said to be relatively simple, if you feel enough, it is easy to find it and better absorb it.
At this time, this is the case of Yi Xiaonan, although there are no high-level monks in the spiritual world, there are also former sages and ancestors in the sect who have left records and explanations related to their perception of heaven and earth, understanding of the Great Dao, etc., so that the younger disciples can understand more quickly and not miss some opportunities for creation.
But it seems that Xiao Nan's comprehension is very high, otherwise it would not be possible to cross over from a mortal in the lower cultivation realm to the spiritual cultivation realm in just a few years, and even cultivate to the current semi-saint upper level.
Although there is a part of the credit of the Ninth Immortal Monarch, after all, the Immortal Monarch who has lived for the ninth generation, although he has cultivated to the peak and is only in the brave realm, but his perception of many things is difficult for ordinary people to surpass, after all, he has lived for nine lifetimes, and he has nine times more life experience than ordinary people.
In addition, Changshengjun is a talented genius, and he has a deep study of various cultivation systems, coupled with Xiao Nan's own efforts and talents, he has this kind of achievement that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
The Semi-Saint Upper Rank Realm in his twenties, even if it is in the spiritual world for hundreds or thousands of years, it is difficult to find a few, this is not only by relying on his own natural understanding, but also by countless chances, and even by experiencing the struggle on the edge of life and death, in order to create this kind of heavenly genius.
It is no wonder that Elder Xu Linyan of the Lingyun Sect, after understanding Yi Xiaonan several times, directly discussed with Elder Mo Chang without the permission of the head of the Lingyun Sect, or even without knowing it.
It was decided that the Lingyun Sect, which had a high reputation in the spiritual cultivation world, should form an alliance with the Lower Cultivation Realm, which was not very popular in the spiritual cultivation world, was not just to repay Xiao Nan for saving the Lingyun Sect's holy daughter Xu Xiaolei.
There is also a mysterious aura on Xiaonan's body when he recovers his cultivation, so that Xu Xiling, who is sitting next to Yi Xiaonan, is also his granddaughter, who took this opportunity to absorb such a trace of mystical aura into his body, and even let the cultivator who has been stuck in the Divine Courage Realm directly break through the realm to the first level of the Half-Saint.
It was even more so that Elder Xu Mochang, one of the three demi-saints of the Lingyun faction, had been stuck in the middle level of the half-saint for decades, and after attracting the mysterious aura, he even loosened, with the foundation accumulated over the decades of hard work, I believe that the upper level of the half-saint must be promising.
Even the peak of the Half-Saint is completely possible, plus the dozen or so disciples of the Lingyun Sect of the Divine Courage Realm, they have more or less received the favor of Yi Xiaonan, as well as the care of Elder Wa of the Heaven Breaking Alliance and Zhou Qiu all the way, and they have always treated the Heaven Breaking Alliance with a very grateful mood.
But if this is just the case, it is impossible to bet on the prestige of the Lingyun Sect for hundreds of years, and form an alliance with the Lower Cultivation Realm Heaven Breaking Alliance, which is not very famous, after all, the risks involved are indeed relatively large.
Although there is the fall of the Great Elder of the No Immortal Sect, the Nine Elders of the No Immortal Sect and several disciples of the Divine Realm, because the Lingyun Sect Holy Maiden Xu Xiaolei was held hostage by the other party, and was fed the poison pill by the other party, just to find the place of creation.
There was no way for Xu Linyan and Elder Xu Mochang to accept it, after all, if the Great Elder of the Immortalless Sect killed Xu Xiaolei for this, even if the Lingyun Sect knew about it.
But with the only three elders of the Lingyun Sect in the Half-Saint Realm, there was no strength at all to compare with the Immortalless Sect with nine Half-Saint Realm elders, let alone the existence of the Immortalless Sect with a True Saint.
Even if the Lingyun Sect publicized this matter to the spiritual cultivation world, although it would make everyone feel angry, thinking that the Great Elder and the Nine Elders of the Immortal Sect were too shameful, but for a top great sect with a True Saint and nine and a half Saints, they could only talk about it in their mouths.
Even if it was a few True Saints who had always taken good care of the Lingyun Sect, it was impossible for a dead low-level disciple of the Half-Saint, and even a disciple who came from the lower cultivation realm and had no foundation in the spiritual cultivation realm, would really go to tear his face with the Immortalless Sect.
Even if Xu Xiaolei is a saintess of the Lingyun Sect, she has a special physique "Qingling Immortal Body" that is unattainable and can be expected to step into the True Saint level, after all, she has not grown up yet, and everything is unknown.
Although in order to make certain concessions and even compensation for the Immortalless Sect, no amount of compensation is useless for the Lingyun Sect, and it is even a condescending charity from the other party, and the other party is even less likely to publicly apologize to the Lingyun Sect for this.
After all, in the spiritual world, everyone respects the strong, and they are slowly respecting the strong, even if they have a bad character, they are ranked behind, if you don't have the strength, then you can only be beaten.
But these are not the point, the important thing is that the only hope of the Lingyun Sect that can become a true saint for hundreds of years has been shattered again, and the demeanor of the restored Lingyun Sect ancestor at that time is afraid that it is impossible to see it again in this life.
What's more, due to the approaching chaotic times of the Heavenly Demons, the high-end combat power of the Lingyun Sect is too small, and it may eventually become a vassal of other major sects, and it is more likely that the sect will be directly destroyed in this chaotic world.
I even saw that Xiao Nan's character was outstanding, in order for Xu Xiaolei to take the initiative to become a hostage of the Great Elder of the No Immortal Sect, the other party was a cultivator at the peak of the Semi-Saint, even if it was a cultivation of the upper level of the Semi-Saint of Xiao Nan, he would not be the opponent of the other party at all.
It will be like Xu Xiaolei, even if it is a half-saint mid-level, he will be forced to swallow the poison pill by the great elder of the Immortalless Sect, and set a ban on his body, and only retain the cultivation of the half-saint primary, so that he can find the place of creation in the black mist.
It seems that Xiao Nan's life and death are all in the thought of the Great Elder of the Immortal Sect, and having this kind of person who is willing to risk his life in order to save a person who has just had his first love will definitely not be a demon cultivator as rumored by the outside world, let alone a shameless person.
In addition, in the short period of time that Xiao Nan came to the spiritual cultivation realm, from the cultivation of the first half-saint level when he came, he has now surpassed the half-saint middle level of Elder Xu Mochang, and directly broke through to the upper level of the half-saint.
He even killed the Great Elder of the Immortalless Sect before, although he took advantage of the other party's serious injury, but even so, it was not something that a half-saint junior could kill, and the gap between the two sides was too big.
But it seems that Xiao Nan has done it, the corpse of the Great Elder of the Immortal Sect is the best proof, when he was shocked, when Xiao Nan was recovering his cultivation, there was a trace of mysterious aura that could only appear when he broke through to the peak of the Half-Saint.
When he broke through to the peak of the Half-Saint, there was a faint aura of mystery, which benefited him a lot, but there was a thick piece of Xiaonan, and his future achievements were definitely not under him, I am afraid that like Xu Xiaolei, there is a great chance of breaking through to the True Saint Realm.
It seems that Xiaonan and Xu Xiaolei are both coming to see the lower cultivation realm, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary, they are both willing to risk their lives for each other regardless of the danger, one is the leader of the Heaven Breaking Alliance, and the other is the saintess of the Lingyun faction, the future head.
With this level of relationship, I believe that the alliance between the two sides will not be like other people, each with a ghost, but will only be together for the sake of benefits, and after the emergence of big interests, they will not hesitate to fight for it.
There is also the alliance between the Lingyun Sect and the Heaven Breaking Alliance, which can give the powerhouses of the Lower Cultivation Realm Heaven Breaking Alliance the opportunity to come to the spiritual cultivation world and accept a systematic and comprehensive cultivation system, so that the defects left in the lower cultivation world can be repaired here and improve their cultivation faster.
After all, there are too few high-end combat power in the lower cultivation world, just like Xiao Nan and Wa Tiehua, even if Zhou Qiu is added, there are only three demi-saints, this kind of strength can really only be said to be average in the spiritual cultivation world, and there is not much to do.
This must have always been Xiao Nan's heart disease, there is no basis in the spiritual world, but to find such an ally, it is not nothing, as long as you pay a certain benefit, you can still do it, but to be one heart for yourself, it is too difficult and difficult, or even completely impossible.
Only Xu Xiaolei, who is also from the lower cultivation world, has such a heaven-sent opportunity, and it is possible to think about the lower cultivation world, after all, she was born and grew up, and she has a deep affection for Yi Xiaonan, so that Yi Xiaonan can completely rest assured that she will form an alliance with the Lingyun faction.
In addition, the Heaven Breaking Alliance has a bit of three demi-saints, and the Lingyun faction has four demi-saints, so that it can have the strength to fight with the remaining seven demi-saints of the Immortalless Sect, provided that the true saints of the Immortalless Sect will not make a move, but even if they make a move, there are seven demi-saints, plus the Lingyun faction's Protector Sect Great Array.
It's not that there is no possibility of a fight, after all, if the True Saint makes a direct move, it will violate the agreement between the True Saints, the True Saint Realm cannot be mixed with worldly things, and the other True Saints who have always taken care of the Lingyun Party will definitely not stand idly by.
It is even more impossible to watch the Lingyun Sect being broken by the Immortalless Sect, and the alliance between the Lingyun Sect and the Heaven-Breaking Alliance will also make the strength of the Lingyun Sect soar, after all, the Heaven-Breaking Alliance is only three and a half saints in the spiritual cultivation world, and there is no other foundation, at most, some more Divine Courage Realm will be sent up.
Because of this, Xu Linyan saw so many very favorable factors for the Heaven Breaking Alliance, or for the Lingyun Sect where he belonged, and it was a rare opportunity, maybe there was little pressure from the Immortal Sect, and the alliance might not have been decided so quickly.
After returning to the Lingyun faction, I believe that after the senior sister in charge knows, she will also agree with her approach, so Xu Linyan and Xu Mochang will so decisively propose an alliance between the Lingyun faction and the Heaven Breaking Alliance in the absence of the senior sister in charge.
At this time, Xiao Nan was falling into the perception of this piece of heaven and earth, feeling that the mountain was originally a dead thing, but with the change of the earth's crust, I don't know when the internal changes began, and after the original magma appeared, after years of erosion of the rock.
Finally broke through the barrier of the rock above, erupted from the ground for the first time to a height of tens of hundreds of meters, and then fell back to the top of the mountain again and became a rock, becoming a part of the mountain.
Due to the eruption of the volcano, a lot of substances were produced, and finally some of them became nutrients, nourishing some creatures, and even the emergence of small grasses, plants, and finally animals.
Although there is no way to verify this, maybe I stumbled into it by mistake from the Soul Abyss, but this is not the most important point, the most important thing is the appearance of plants, which is enough.
This is also a cycle from nothing, from death to life, from life to death, and it is also a concrete embodiment of the cause and effect relationship in the avenue, where there is a cause and there must be an effect, and there must be a cause and effect, and the cycle of cause and effect, the concrete embodiment of the simplicity of the avenue.
Yi Xiaonan, who was meditating cross-legged, gradually converged on the spiritual power and aura in his body before, and finally returned to his body, looking completely like an ordinary mortal, without any spiritual power, nor any sense of aura oppression.
If you get closer, you will find that even your breathing is so weak that it is difficult to notice, and if you don't pay attention, you may even think that the person has stopped breathing.
At this time, Yi Xiaonan did enter a deep cultivation, and even put his physical body outside, and his soul was integrated into this heaven and earth, and he could become a certain thing at will.
It may be a living volcano, or the magma inside, as the crater erupts, it feels like it is being sprayed into the sky hundreds of meters, feeling the terrifying heat of the magma, and slowly sliding down to the rocks of the mountain as it continues to contact with the air.
Slowly sliding down the slope, the terrifying temperature of the magma slowly melted with the rock, and finally it completely merged with the rock.
It is no longer clear who is magma and who is rock, or that they used to be magma, but with the passage of time, they have all become rocks, and even finally slowly become a whole, an inseparable whole.
I don't know how many years have passed, but one day in the soil layer above the rock, an inconspicuous grass suddenly appeared, and the weak grass that was still buried in the soil was bent over by the heavy small stones on its head as it slowly grew up.
It may be crushed at any time, but no one could have imagined that one day the small stone on the top of the grass was completely pushed away by the weak grass with its head, and the grass finally straightened its waist and really saw the outside world.
As Xiao Nan's role continues to change, it may be the red magma with a terrifying temperature for a while, and then it may turn into the black-brown rock, and then it may even turn into the small grass with the rocks on the top of the head......
