Chapter 234: Barren City
The waterfall flows down like a Milky Way.
The slender figure was motionless, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes slightly closed, and a ray of strange glow loomed above the slender one.
When the boy opened his eyes, the qi on his body shook, and one after another cut off the surging water.
Buzz!
The boy walked through the void to the right of the valley, where two figures, one black and one white, watched him silently.
Today is March 3rd, and it is also the birthday of a teenager, the birthday of a seventeenth year.
His name is Xia Ziyu, the young master of the Qin clan.
The two people, one black and one white, are Tianyang and Yin.
Xia Ziyu only knew that these two people were his father's subordinates, and as for the other two, they didn't reveal the slightest, and they didn't even teach anything in cultivation.
He landed on the ground, looked at the two and smiled.
Tianyang patted Xia Ziyu's shoulders, as if he wanted to pat off the dust on his clothes, looked at Xia Ziyu's face and smiled, "Seventeen years old!"
"Seventeen years old!" Xia Ziyu muttered softly, feeling a little unreal, he seemed to have passed thousands of years, but in fact he was only seventeen years old.
Stygian Yin spoke, his face was still as cold as an iceberg, and he lowered his head and said, "Little master, there are some things you don't need to ask, when your strength is enough, you will know everything yourself!"
Xia Ziyu stopped talking, her face was a little embarrassed, and then she laughed, "Got it, uncle!"
Tianyang smiled, "Your heart should be like the dazzling sun, no matter what happens in the future, don't be disappointed in this world, because you can make it better, just be yourself, there is no need to think so much." ”
Xia Ziyu nodded, sat on the ground, looked up at the bright sun, and secretly thought to herself, "There is light in my heart, I won't be disappointed!"
He had been in a coma since the Great War two months earlier, and it had been a month since he woke up.
When I woke up, I was here, surrounded by two people, Tianyang and Yin.
At first, he didn't believe the two, thinking that the two were deceiving him, and even fighting, but the two did not resist in the slightest, and in the face of his series of questions, the two did not say much.
Later, Xia Ziyu gradually accepted this fact, because the two of them had jade pendants that were exactly the same as themselves, which could resonate.
In fact, Xia Ziyu knew, how could she not know?
When I was a child, I didn't know that I had seen the two of them once, and in that dream, I could see the two of them every time, and it was the two of them who escorted me to this world.
He just didn't want to accept the fact, accept who he was, and accept that his parents had been in great trouble.
In the past month, his cultivation resources have been provided by the two of them, and all kinds of fierce beast essence blood have revived his body that was on the verge of shattering, and it has reached the level of the middle stage of the imperial realm.
And they were one step closer to that portal, and although it still seemed far away, it made them see the way forward.
Even in this month, he also realized a sword supernatural power, which can open mountains and break the void.
His comprehension of the rules of the Great Dao has also improved several times, and he has reached the level of the middle stage of the Imperial Realm, thanks to the previous comprehension of the Great Dao with the help of the ancestors of the Qin clan.
He fought with the help of the power of the ancestors of the Qin clan, and those feelings were engraved in his mind one by one.
Although he is not as perverted as Qing Geng, at least now he has no pressure to fight against the powerhouses in the early stage of the Emperor Realm, even if he encounters the middle stage of the Emperor Realm, he can fight with them.
Tianyang sat beside him, "In the future, we will follow you, little master, you won't dislike us, right?"
Xia Ziyu turned his head and smiled, "Don't dislike me, my little master doesn't even know what is going on with his own cultivation?"
Styx Yin sat down and said coldly, "Little Lord, you haven't thought about what you are relying on to fight now, and what do you need to advance to the next realm?"
Xia Ziyu was stunned, he really hadn't thought about these questions before, but now that he was mentioned, he was a little surprised.
He looked at the sun hanging above the sky, and he was stunned.
What do you rely on to fight now?
It's not all magical, but it also has its own physical strength.
But what is the most important thing for you?
Xia Ziyu swept over his battle scenes one by one in his mind.
Spells, supernatural powers, physique, and rules of the avenue.
Xia Ziyu was sitting on his lap, the divine light on his body was great, and the divine wheel behind his head was shining, and there was a universe evolving in between.
"Sea of Qi, Divine Soul, Sea of Knowledge, Great Dao ......"
Xia Ziyu looked at his body over and over again, and finally he seemed to have some enlightenment, the divine soul, the Great Dao, and now his Dao is evolving with rules, just at the lowest level of the Dao.
And as his Dao comprehension deepens, his divine soul seems to be able to turn into an entity, so now......
The soul turns into nothingness, and the sea of qi turns into chaos.
There was so much more he hadn't grasped, and that was the only thing he could be sure of now.
According to what Tianyang said, the Great Emperor Realm is actually the Immortal King Realm, and what the Immortal King perceives is already the law.
It seems that only by comprehending the rules to the extreme can I have the opportunity to condense my soul into an entity, so what is the peak of the rules?
At the beginning, the "Chaos Qiankun Jue" cultivated to the fairy realm and could comprehend the law, which was chaotic and complicated, and Xia Ziyu was a little big.
He gathered his thoughts, now that his soul was empty.
Xia Ziyu opened his eyes and muttered, "Void God Realm!"
"The avenue is empty, the spirit is empty, and the sea of qi is empty!"
Styx asked, "Then what level of this realm are you in now?"
Xia Ziyu said embarrassedly, "If the entire Void God Realm is divided into ten realms, then my heart is only in the third layer!"
"Why do you want to divide it into ten realms, the general realm division is only nine realms?" Tianyang said suspiciously, "The extreme of the Great Dao is nine, and ten is already beyond the range. ”
Xia Ziyu smiled bitterly, "I started from building the foundation, and each layer of the realm is ten layers. “
"And I can suppress all the cultivators of the same realm!" Xia Ziyu's eyes burst into bursts of essence.
Tianyang and Yin glanced at each other, and at the same time, the excitement in the pupils could be seen in the eyes of the other party.
Even the father of the little master, who was a generation of gods, did not go against the sky to such a point.
Every realm has broken the Great Dao Extreme, this kind of monster was not seen at all in their time, even if it was the descendants of those great murderers, no one could break it.
Now that their little master can do this, how can they not be excited, and at the same time a little distressed.
This kind of demon against the sky needs countless resources, and if the resources can't keep up, it can only be ignored in the end.
The two of them suddenly laughed a little bitterly, if this is the case, even if Xia Ziyu scavenges all the resources of this heaven and earth, it is estimated that he will only be able to break through this great realm.
Wait, after this great realm, you can comprehend the law, which is equivalent to the realm of the immortal king.
Besides, when the god lord asked them to send the little lord here, it has already proved that this world is not simple, maybe it can really make the little lord's realm improve faster, if you can find a different opportunity, then the little lord's cultivation does not have to worry at all.
For example, the first prize of the Wasteland Tianjiao Conference - Starfall Dew.
This kind of heaven and earth treasure is used by the people of this heaven and earth to refine weapons, it is simply a tyrannical heavenly thing, this is a divine object of cultivation.
The energy contained in the starfall dew and the divine power of the Great Dao are incomparably vast, and if you can get a drop, it will be an existence that will boil in the Immortal King Realm.
Because of the special nature of this world, no one knows what Starfall Dew is used for, so it can only be used for refining.
Xia Ziyu looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you know what happened on the continent in the past two months?"
Styx Yin said, "There are some things that are not too small, and we haven't paid much attention to them, but well, it is the competition of the younger generation that has begun." ”
"What kind of battle?" Xia Ziyu asked curiously, he had disappeared for two months, and it was estimated that a lot of things had happened.
The will of heaven and earth has shackled all the strong people above the saint, so what remains is the emperor and the imperial realms of all parties in the secret layout.
"The Wasteland Tianjiao List has been renamed the Tianjiao List, and the Tianjiao Conference will be opened in June!" Tianyang said with a smile.
"Oh!" Xia Ziyu was not interested at all, what Tianjiao Conference, in his opinion, there was no need at all.
Tianyang saw Xia Ziyu's lack of interest, and said with a smile, "This time, it's better for you to fight, little master!"
Xia Ziyu looked at Tianyang and Yin suspiciously, and said, "Why?"
"Starfall Dew, Nirvana Divine Pill, both of these things are the rewards of the first person. Styx spoke.
Xia Ziyu almost jumped up, and infinite essence light erupted from her pupils, and exclaimed, "Starfall Dew! Are you sure?"
Tianyang looked at Xia Ziyu's excited appearance and wondered, "Little master, do you know that thing?"
"Others don't know, but I know, you let me fight because of that thing, right?" Xia Ziyu smiled.
Tianyang and Yin nodded at the same time, and Tianyang spoke, "Since the little master knows that thing, then we don't have to explain anything, we just fancy the star dew, as for what Nirvana Divine Pill, we haven't heard of it!"
Xia Ziyu bowed his head and said, "The Nirvana Divine Pill is actually dispensable to me, because it is just an elixir used by the quasi-emperor realm to break through the imperial realm, I can't use it, but I can take it and give it to other people in need of the Qin clan." ”
"Okay, let's go now, it will take more than two months to go all the way!" said Styx.
Xia Ziyu smiled when she heard this, and didn't say anything, thinking that the two of them wanted to see the customs on the mainland, and there was nothing bad about it.
Anyway, they are not in a hurry, as for the Qin clan, they must have already prepared and are rushing to the wasteland.
After disappearing for so long, they should be able to guess that they would attend the Tianjiao Conference.
This time, I don't know how many acquaintances I can see.
The Ancient Emperor should also appear this time, he could have let the will of heaven and earth calculate the Ancient Emperor, presumably the Great Emperor hates himself now, after all, he has destroyed their Ancient Plan.
A few people walked out of the valley, Xia Ziyu jumped into the air, looked into the distance, and positioned the direction where he was now, it turned out to be in the Southern Spiritual Continent, which made Xia Ziyu a little surprised, he was in Kunlun Divine Continent at the beginning.
Knowing his location, Xia Ziyu didn't bother to care, he just didn't know if it was above the realm of Feixian Gate or Xuanhuang Gate.
Xia Ziyu and the three of them did not stay in the air for a long time, but instead landed on the forest path after a glance, and walked towards the city not far ahead.
Xia Ziyu and the three of them had nothing to do, like a wild reader, walking between the mountains and forests, strangely, but no demon beast dared to approach the three of them, and some demon clans turned around and left directly after seeing Xia Ziyu.
Xia Ziyu didn't care, now it is estimated that as long as there is a big demon with a high cultivation level in the demon clan, he knows him, and he is not a person who is easy to kill, and he has no murderous intent for these demon clans, as long as they keep to themselves and do not go to the mortal realm to wreak havoc.
Just as Xia Ziyu and the others were about to walk out of the mountains and forests, a team appeared in Xia Ziyu's divine sense, coming from the city, with a strong body, and each of them was a monk with a good foundation.
It's just that it's not a cultivator, it's an immortal cultivator, the kind of person who is solid and relative to the cultivators above the rivers and lakes.
The person at the head is a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe, with a face like a knife, a majestic expression, long breathing, and light steps, and his cultivation is equivalent to a master realm monk.
Behind him are five young people, three men and two women, all in their twenties, with luxurious clothes, the men are all handsome, and the women are as gentle as the jade of a small family, these people's clothes are all similar, they should be from the same sect.
The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt led by him carried a long sword on his back, exuding the aura of a fairy spirit, and the five young people behind him were holding long swords.
The group was all dressed in simple and neat tight costumes, and it was thought that they were going to go into the woods to hunt.
Then when the group entered the mountains and forests, they saw Xia Ziyu and them coming towards them, and everyone stopped, clenched the long sword in their hands, and held the hilt of the sword with their right hand, full of vigilance and fear.
The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt led by him hurriedly shouted softly, "Presumptuous, no rudeness!"
Then, the middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt walked towards Xia Ziyu head-on, bowing slightly, "The three elders of the barren city have seen the three sons!"
Xia Ziyu was dumbfounded, he never thought that this middle-aged man was a polite person, and he hadn't said hello yet, but he spoke first, and he was still in front of him.
Looking at the tense appearance of the sword, he thought that these people wanted to do it.
Xia Ziyu cupped her fists and saluted back, "Fortunately!"
The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt straightened up and hugged his fists and smiled, "I don't know the three sons, but what monsters have you encountered in the forest?"
Yin Yin said coldly, "Where are some monsters in the world, Mr. is insinuating that we are monsters?"
The man in the Confucian shirt was speechless, there were many demons and monsters in this mountain range, Xia Ziyu and the three of them all walked out of the forest, and their temperament was extraordinary, so they could not be allowed not to doubt Xia Ziyu's identity.
Xia Ziyu said with a smile, "Sir, there are indeed a lot of monsters in this forest, but I promise, they won't come out, so there is no need for you to go inside again, lest you lose your life!"
The man in the Confucian shirt opened his mouth and said with a wry smile, "Childe, I don't know, we are not here for any monster, we just want to find an alchemy treasure medicine to use to heal the city lord!"
When Xia Ziyu heard this, he looked at the man in the Confucian shirt and his party, and said, "It's not a big deal if you want to find medicinal materials, but it's better to be careful, if you really run into any monsters, you may all die inside." ”
When the two young women saw Xia Ziyu's neither humble nor arrogant expression, coupled with her slender figure and handsome demon-like face, they immediately looked bright.
However, the three young men, who were even older, looked at Xia Ziyu and the three of them, although they were amazing, they couldn't dispel their vigilance.
After Xia Ziyu finished speaking, he took Yin and Tianyang to bypass their group and continue to walk towards the city, he was just kindly reminded.
Earlier, you looked a little rude in your words, but in fact you were just testing the three of them, on the road of cultivation, everything needs to be careful, he doesn't think that the middle-aged man did anything bad.
The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt looked at Xia Ziyu and their distant figures, and then turned his head to look at the mountains and forests, with a deep fear in his eyes, obviously knowing that there were many demon clans living in the mountains and forests.
He even saw the demon clan of the transformation enter the barren city to trade the treasures of heaven and earth, and those big demons who entered the barren city were the city lords who had to treat each other with courtesy.
The barren city is hundreds of miles in radius, and there are no scenic monuments to visit, just ordinary mountains and rivers, and in the barren city, there are all monks, no mortals.
There is only one path to the outside world in the deserted city, and this road is not the road they travel, but it is not in this forest, but in love with the other side.
The other roads have been cut off, just to prevent outsiders from following other paths to find the deserted city that lives in seclusion.
Barren City was originally also a heaven-level force, but since the heaven-level power conference a hundred years ago, Barren City has suffered a catastrophe, so they found it here, and established Barren City here, they were originally called Ming Sword Sect, and since that catastrophe, they have been hidden.
However, it is not to talk about being isolated from the world, or having some contacts with the outside world, but it is no longer mixed with the above things, and it has become a force in the rivers and lakes.
Xia Ziyu's appearance of the three of them was already strange, but in the first two months in the barren city, they saw that there was a fairy light surging in the depths of the mountain range, shocking the world, and there was a big demon entrenched in the sky to cover the sky.
There was also a brilliant giant palm across the sky, which captured those big demons, where did the many monks in the barren city see such a scene, and for a while, there were many rumors and discussions.
If it weren't for the city lord's illness being very urgent, they wouldn't want to go into the depths of the mountain range if they were killed, and the big demon would be able to destroy them with a single breath.
But, there is no way, no matter how afraid they are, they have to enter one of them, recently, there is no big demon entering the barren city to exchange heaven and earth treasures, the city lord's illness can not be suppressed, so they can only go in to look for it.
This matter was originally the idea of the man in the Confucian shirt alone, wanting to enter the mountains and forests alone to find medicine, or find a big demon to trade.
I never thought that these disciples who were not successful would also secretly follow, so that the man in the Confucian shirt had no choice but to slow down, change to walking, deliberately sparing some roads in the forest, and did not take any disciples into the depths of the forest, so he slowly came to this place.
I saw Xia Ziyu and the three of them, who seemed to be playing in the mountains and rivers.
The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt seemed to look calm, but in fact, he was terrified, and the whole person was nervous, for fear that Xia Ziyu and the three of them were the big demons in the mountain range who came out to seek revenge, and if they broke out and hurt people, his disciples would not be able to escape their fate.
That's why he hurriedly drank the five young disciples, he held an important position in the barren city, and naturally knew some strange things that were both passed on in the rivers and lakes and not in the rivers and lakes, just like the predecessors of the barren city recorded in the library pavilion, for them now they are simply heavenly immortals.
Therefore, when walking, I was also extra cautious, afraid of causing trouble for myself and for the barren city.
"Senior brother, that silver-haired boy is so handsome!" said a female disciple looking at Xia Ziyu's departing figure with her eyes.
A man snorted coldly, and said with a somewhat dissatisfied expression, "What kind of son, I can't say that it is a monster in the mountains and forests!"
The man in the Confucian shirt glared, looked at them and said, "Don't be rude, even if it's a demon, didn't they hurt you?"
"Besides, if they dare to go to the city, it means that they are extremely extraordinary, and they should not cause trouble for the desolate city, and then you will be sinners!"
Several young people nodded, without the slightest refutation of the words of the man in the Confucian shirt, and listened to the man's lecture with respectful expressions.
The woman who spoke earlier asked, "Sir, aren't we going deep into the woods?"
The man in the Confucian shirt looked at the depths of the mountains and forests, then looked at Xia Ziyu and the three of them, and said in a deep voice, "These sons have walked out of the mountain range, maybe they have the treasure medicine that the city lord needs, let's go and ask first, if there is, we will exchange them." ”
For the depths of the mountains and forests, the entire Barren City is quite fearful, especially since last winter, I don't know what's going on, the roars of monsters in the forest are getting more and more, making them afraid of the Barren City a lot, but fortunately, there is no outbreak of any disasters, otherwise the Barren City may have to migrate again, just like the one recorded in the ancient books.
The man in the Confucian shirt glanced at several of his disciples, and said solemnly, "Wait a while, remember not to be rude, the safety of the city lord is the most important, do you know?"
"Got it, sir!" several young men responded.
The man in the Confucian shirt took a few of his disciples and quickly chased after Xia Ziyu, and Xia Ziyu didn't think it was strange to see them catching up.
Tianyang smiled politely, but Yin Yin was cold, scaring several young people from approaching.
Xia Ziyu asked if they could spend the night in the city, and also admitted that the three of them were human races, not monsters in their mouths, so they didn't have to be afraid.
When the man in a Confucian shirt heard that the three of them were a human race, his heart was also settled, but Xia Ziyu's words later made the man in a Confucian shirt a little embarrassed.
"Sir, I don't know if you can take us to meet your city lord, maybe we can find a way to cure it?" Xia Ziyu said with a smile.
The man in the Confucian shirt hesitated, and the woman in the turquoise Luo skirt was the first to say yes happily.
Xia Ziyu smiled and nodded, clenching her fists to express her gratitude.
At the same time, he dared to be a little funny at the woman, this heart is not ordinary, and he is really not afraid that he and others will be thieves, and she will be miserable if she leads the wolf into the house.
The man in the Confucian shirt looked at Xia Ziyu and suddenly smiled with relief, "The person who came is a guest, the three sons have come from afar, since they want to visit the city lord, they naturally have to be treated, and the barren city should naturally treat each other with kindness, but it's just ......"
"It's just what?" Xia Ziyu said with a smile as he followed behind the man in a Confucian shirt, he could guess a few points about the middle-aged man's thoughts.
The man in the Confucian shirt sighed, "Our city lord has been seriously injured, and the medicinal materials he needs are extremely precious, I want to ask the prince if he can exchange it for us, the entire barren city must be grateful!"
Xia Ziyu said with a smile, "What should I do, Mr. just say it, if there is, I will definitely change it to Mr. You." ”
"Ghost Fire Holy Orchid!" the man in the Confucian shirt opened his mouth hopefully, and his afterglow was full of anticipation, but Xia Ziyu's words made him feel like a bolt from the blue.
Xia Ziyu's expression turned cold, "The Ghost Fire Holy Orchid, also known as the Ghost Orchid, is the most poisonous thing, why do you think that this plant should keep your city lord alive, instead of hastening his death!"
Several people's bodies shook violently, the medicine they were looking for turned out to be poison, if they really found it, wouldn't they really become sinners in the entire barren city.
The man in the Confucian shirt froze his body in despair, his expression was painful, and he looked at Xia Ziyu and said, "Are you sure this is poison?"
"The ghost orchid is the place of birth and corpse miasma, formed by absorbing corpse miasma, which contains the ultimate death qi, if it is not the essence to become a holy medicine, then it is poison, and ordinary monks will die when they touch it!" Xia Ziyu explained.
"Childe knows pharmacology so well, can there be a way to save our city lord, he went out more than two months ago, and when he came back, he was seriously injured, and now I am afraid that his life will not be long. The man in the Confucian shirt burst into tears and looked sincere.
Xia Ziyu didn't see any flaws, although he didn't know why the man in the Confucian shirt was looking for the ghost orchid, but now at least he didn't see the slightest killing intent in the man in the Confucian shirt.
He smiled and said, "Sir, didn't I say it, I want to meet your city lord, if I can save it, I will definitely try my best to help, but where did you learn about this ghost orchid, it's better to be careful." ”
Xia Ziyu didn't break the key, thinking that he only needed to mention it, after going back, the three elders of this barren city would naturally go to find out, the reason why he wanted to help the city lord of the barren city was only because of Qin Hongyi's background.
At the beginning, He Lao said that Qin Hongyi's life experience was concentrated in the barren area, and this is a barren city, I don't know if it has any connection, and this city is just next to the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land.
This great wilderness is naturally not the great wilderness he has lived in, the two great wildernesses are completely different, although they are both forbidden lands, but the danger factor of this great wilderness is not as good as the great wilderness he has lived in.
This great wilderness is equivalent to a sealed place, and the great wilderness where he lives is a forbidden place for all monks, and no one dares to enter it until a special period.
As for how Qin Jian and the others got in in the first place, there is naturally something to say about it, and it is just a game they did.
When the man in the Confucian shirt got Xia Ziyu's answer, he was overjoyed, and he was even more respectful for a while.
Xia Ziyu and the three of them followed the Confucian shirt man and his party to the barren city a hundred miles away, and at the same time, Xia Ziyu was also a little curious about the life experience of Qin Hongyi, a little girl.
The forest trail is long, and after walking out, there is a winding mountain road, which looks like only dozens of miles, but in fact it is about two hundred miles.
The man in the Confucian shirt walked like a fly, and he couldn't wait to take Xia Ziyu and them directly into the sky, but fortunately, the group was all monks, and their feet were not slow.
Along the way, the middle-aged disciples of the Confucian shirt were chatting with Xia Ziyu, and the middle-aged Confucian shirt always pricked up his ears in front, not wanting to miss a word, wanting to know what Xia Ziyu's identity was.
The three Xia Ziyu, who looked like scholars, always followed their footsteps unhurriedly, not half a point behind, and the middle-aged Confucian shirt was even more curious.
It is rare for a teenager to understand pharmacology, not to mention that the ghost orchid is a royal-level best medicine, Xia Ziyu can casually say what is extraordinary, obviously not an ordinary person.
But Xia Ziyu never revealed his identity, but talked about some inconsequential interesting things.
The city lord of the barren city is surnamed Chang, and that is a great power, that is, an imperial realm monk, who has reached his peak.
As for the origin of this desolate city, several young people are not very clear.
Xia Ziyu Yin felt that it was likely to be related to Qin Hongyi's life experience.
So he needs to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
