Whew, it's finally out!"

"This time it's really thanks to you, Senior Xu, if you weren't here, Zhou would be able to keep himself fine, and he wouldn't be able to keep these family juniors!"

Outside a barren valley, Zhou Yang controlled the empty building boat to fly out of the valley, landed on the ground outside the valley and released everyone in the boat, and his face was full of joy and sincerely thanked Xu Song who was following him.

At this time, two years had passed since they left the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and for two years, they had all been trapped in the world in the valley and had not seen any living people.

And the world in that valley is obviously a forbidden place of death that no one can enter, and there are not only many ghosts and demon corpses living in it, but also many powerful formation power remnants.

If it weren't for Xu Song's acceptance of many ghost and demon corpses as servant cannon fodder to explore the way, if it weren't for Xu Song himself being a fifth-order mid-grade formation master who was proficient in formations, Zhou Yang might not be able to get out of there for two years, even twenty years, let alone with a group of Qi cultivation period cultivators.

Compared with Zhou Yang, Xu Song can be described as a huge gain.

In just two years, his cultivation broke through to the second layer of Jindan, not to mention, and through Zhou Yang's help, he subdued a Jindan ghost general who also had Jindan cultivation, as well as a large number of powerful ghosts.

He even used some yin-attribute spiritual objects found in the world in the valley to retrain his magic umbrella and that magic flag, so that these two treasures had reached the level of a fifth-order mid-grade magic weapon.

With the second-layer cultivation of Jindan, it is so easy to refine a fifth-order mid-grade magic weapon, and probably only Xu Song, who was proficient in the way of refining weapons during his lifetime, can do it.

Hearing Zhou Yang's words of gratitude now, he sighed with a look of pity on his face: "Hey, in fact, if it weren't for Zhou Daoyou, you were in a hurry to leave, we could have worked together to explore that corpse cave again, if we could subdue the silver-armored demon corpse inside, we would meet the late Jindan monk in the future, and we would be able to fight with him with the old man's means!"

In fact, what he wanted to say more was that if Zhou Yang could agree to let him practice here, within a hundred years, he would be sure to practice to the middle stage of Jindan.

Of course, he also knew that it was impossible, and it was impossible for Zhou Yang to let his important combat force retreat and practice here.

Zhou Yang, who knew his intentions, heard his words, and when he arched his hand, he arched his hand and said: "Senior Xu's meaning The juniors understand, it's just the purpose of the juniors coming to this extreme west land this time, and you also know that when the juniors gain a firm foothold here, you don't mention this matter to the juniors, and the juniors also want you to come here to help the juniors guard the teleportation array!"

The old man waited for that day to come. ”

Xu Song nodded and did not mention the matter again.

Next, Zhou Yang first set up a magic circle in a secluded place, let all the Zhou family monks rest in it, and he used the "Golden Cicada Hiding Breath Technique" to lower the cultivation to the ninth layer of the foundation, and then used the speed that a monk in this realm should have to find out the news.

When you just arrive in a new and unfamiliar place, you can't be too careful.

Zhou Yang must find out where he is, find out the distribution of forces around him, and talk about the truth and results of the civil strife in the Great Bright Immortal Palace thousands of years ago, and then decide whether to expose the Zhou family monks in front of people.

His sword flew all the way outward, and the earth below was neither full of yellow sand like the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, nor was it full of green mountains and green waters like the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The landform of the earth was like the desert plateau he had seen in his previous life, with sparse shrubs, dwarf trees, weeds and flowing water, as well as some ordinary beasts, but there were no traces of human habitation, nor any trace of immortal cultivators, but occasionally he could see some low-level demon beasts.

After flying out for two or three thousand miles, Zhou Yang finally saw the towering mountain peaks, the green mountain forests, and the curling smoke that represented human existence.

He flew close to the front and back before he could see the situation clearly.

I saw a crescent-shaped plateau lake with a length of fifty or sixty miles and a width of more than twenty miles.

A long river meanders down the lake, and where the grass grows along the river and the lake is inhabited by hundreds of thousands of herdsmen grazing cattle and sheep.

Of course, Zhou Yang's focus was not on the mortal herdsmen, but on the peaks that were shrouded in clouds and mist.

The golden-red divine light flashed in his eyes, and he could easily see that the mountain peak was a third-order high-grade spirit mountain, and the clouds and mist on the mountain were formed by the power of the mountain protection array.

There are spiritual mountains and formations, and there are naturally immortal cultivators on that mountain.

Finding the immortal cultivator, Zhou Yang would naturally be able to inquire about where he was.

Despite this, Zhou Yang did not act rashly.

When he first went to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, because he was not familiar with the situation, he was guessed by the monk Dong Jianping who he met that he was not a person from the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Fortunately, at that time, Dong Jianping did not publicize this matter because of his life-saving grace several times, nor did he plot the treasures on his body.

Although his cultivation is no longer comparable to the past, he is not worried about being seen as a person from the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but he is afraid that the Zhou family, who established a clan here, will be targeted in the future, so he guesses that he has a large-scale long-range teleportation array that teleports across the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Once the existence of a large-scale teleportation array is exposed, not only will the Zhou family lose control of this teleportation array, but it will also endanger the entire Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm and the entire Zhou family, which he will never allow to happen.

So after thinking about it, when he dropped his flying sword, he rushed to the place where the mortal herdsmen lived, and then sneaked into the tent at night and plundered a few herdsmen, using ecstasy spells to get the information.

Of course, these mortal herdsmen would not know about the affairs of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but through their mouths, Zhou Yang at least knew where he was located, the name of the spiritual mountain and the origin of the monks on the mountain.

According to the herdsmen, this place is called the Rock Wasteland, which is located in the easternmost part of the extreme west, and it is possible to walk 20,000 or 30,000 miles west to enter a lofty mountain area.

As for the name of the land with lofty mountains, the herders do not know, and they have heard the news from their ancestors.

And the spiritual mountain that Zhou Yang saw, the herdsmen only called it "holy mountain" in their mouths, and the immortal cultivators who lived on the mountain were called immortal masters in their mouths.

According to the herdsmen, the immortal master on the holy mountain will send people to the tribe every three years to measure the spiritual root of the newborn born within three years, if there is a child with a spiritual root, it will be brought into the holy mountain by the immortal master to practice, and his family will become the nobles of the tribe and enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment.

At the same time, if the tribe is attacked by powerful demon beasts, the tribal leader only needs to go to the holy mountain with the token given by the immortal master, and he can invite the immortal master on the mountain to help eliminate the demon.

"Judging from the words of these herdsmen, the monk forces on that spiritual mountain should not be a certain immortal cultivation family, but rather an immortal cultivation sect. ”

"It's just that there is any immortal cultivation sect that is so dilapidated, and even the location of the mountain gate is just a third-order high-grade spirit mountain?"

"Or is that spiritual mountain just a branch of a certain immortal cultivation sect established here?"

Zhou Yang looked at the few herdsmen on the ground who had been knocked unconscious by himself, and remembered the news he got from the herdsmen, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

A sect is not a family, and if you want to start a sect, you must at least have the cultivation of the Jindan period to do it.

There are also many declining sects in the immortal cultivation world that do not have Jindan period monks in charge, but no matter how much a sect declines, there are also Purple Mansion period monks, and there are Purple Mansion period monks, so it is naturally not difficult to retain a fourth-order spiritual mountain.

Those declining sects that don't even have monks in the Purple Mansion Period, unless there are more powerful sects willing to help them keep the sect inheritance, otherwise they can't even keep the inheritance of the exercises passed down by their ancestors, how can they still be called sectarians?

All Zhou Yang didn't believe that Lingshan was the mountain gate of a certain sect, but preferred to believe that it was the rudder of a certain sect.

Excluding the Huangsha Gate, which is a dominant sect in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, the sects in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm will occupy the Lingshan Mountain outside the mountain gate to establish a rudder to recruit disciples and guard some important resource points.

Although the Immortal Cultivation Sect is easier to recruit people than the Immortal Cultivation Family, it is not recruited by everyone, the stronger the sect, the more stringent the conditions for recruiting people.

Many immortal cultivation sects will not even recruit casual cultivators from the outside world, but will only recruit disciples from among the vassal immortal cultivation families who know the roots and know the bottom and among the mortals within the sect's sphere of influence to cultivate from an early age, so that the disciples who have been cultivated since childhood will truly regard the sect as their own home, and will not easily do anything treacherous.

Therefore, establishing a rudder and expanding the scope of disciple recruitment has become something that many sects will do.

However, whether it is as he guessed or not, Zhou Yang has to test it.

It was easy to test, according to the news he received from the herdsmen, in more than half a month, the immortal master on the holy mountain would go down to the tribe to test the spiritual root of the newborn.

As long as Zhou Yang captures a monk at that time, he can get the information he wants.

"More than half a month? I can afford to wait!"

With a gleam in his eyes, Zhou Yang looked at the unconscious herdsmen on the ground and quietly sent them back to their respective tents.

After returning to the herdsmen, Zhou Yang did not immediately return to the valley to contact the clansmen, nor did he wait for the monks who had detected the spiritual roots to arrive on the herdsmen's side, but flew westward.

He wanted to verify the information he had received from the herdsmen, and see if it was really a mountain range after tens of thousands of miles to the west.

It would be even better if he could meet a lone low-level casual cultivator on the road, he could just take action to catch him and interrogate him.
