Jiangcheng has a central layout. There is an inner city in the center of Jiangcheng, called Wangxian City. Wangxian City is a forbidden area, and mortals are not allowed to set foot on it.

Wangxian City divides Jiangcheng. In Wangxian City are high immortals. Outside the city of Wangxian are mediocre mortals.

Si Dao came to look at Xiancheng to verify the conjecture in his heart.

At night, darkness swept through Jiangcheng. Wangxian City is still brightly lit. Si Dao walked directly towards the lights and came to the front of Wangxian City.

A layer of light enveloped Wangxian City. This is the Detection Formation.

Si Dao was not proficient in formations, but he had heard Qin Qing talk about a small skill to crack the detection formation. When the level of the detection formation is very low, the detection formation cannot quickly capture two entries and exits in the same position in a row.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Si Dao picked up a stone, attached it with spiritual power, and flicked it lightly. The stone passed through the detection light film, and at this moment, the light film really showed a brief fluctuation.

Then, Si Dao grabbed a black cat casually. He stroked the black cat's head. The black cat immediately settled down. In the next second, with a scream, the black cat was thrown into Wangxian City by Si Dao. The moment the black cat passed through the light film on the city wall, the light film fluctuated, and Si Dao took the opportunity to enter Wangxian City.

After a while, two guards arrived. When they saw the black cat, they threw it out of Wangxian City again. They looked around carefully and found no other anomalies. Although Wangxian City exudes the coercion of immortals, some small animals occasionally break in accidentally. It's not something that doesn't happen for nothing.

Moreover, ordinary people didn't dare to offend Wangxian City at all. Over time, the vigilance of the two guards was weak.

In this way, Si Dao sneaked into Wangxian City. After entering Wangxian City, Si Dao immediately felt a hundredfold spiritual power. This validated his conjecture.

The entire Jiangcheng was a huge Soul Snatching Array. The Spirit Snatching Array seized the vitality of mortals and transformed it into spiritual power and stored it in Wangxian City.

This result did not come as a surprise to the priest. At the beginning, when he first came to the Taisheng Kingdom, Si Dao performed the introductory trial and encountered a demon who was originally a disciple of Tianzen. The demon reminded him that the so-called immortal gate was nothing more than plundering the vitality of the people in order to obtain the spiritual resources of cultivating immortals. For the demon's words, Si Dao has never verified it. He also couldn't be verified.

Although he could not be verified, he was able to make simple conjectures. The conjecture is simple. The Taisheng Kingdom has countless spiritual mountains. But where are there so many inexhaustible spiritual mountains between heaven and earth?

If the spiritual mountain is really endless, the spiritual power is equivalent to infinite. In this way, the Immortal Gate can completely open the Spirit Mountain to mortals in the world. At that time, the number of immortal cultivators will increase at an incredible rate.

Therefore, Si Dao believes that Lingshan is not endless, let alone naturally formed, but artificially made.

As the demon said, each county seat of the Taisheng Kingdom is a huge Heaven and Earth Spirit Snatching Array. Lingshan and Linghu are the places where spiritual power is stored. This can explain that the more prosperous the county town, the more spiritual mountains and spiritual lakes there are. The more spiritual mountains and spiritual lakes, the more immortal cultivators naturally increase. In this way, the people's lives will become more stable, and naturally more people will pour in. It's a positive cycle.

Si Dao even believed that the world's largest Spirit Snatching Array was not in the Taisheng Kingdom, but in the Spring Kingdom. The entire Spring Kingdom is the largest soul snatching array in the world. Acacia Wonderland is a place where spiritual power is stored.

The essence of cultivating immortals is plunder! This is something that Si Dao knew from the beginning. It's just that he didn't know it well enough.

All the above speculations, Si Dao had a premonition. At this moment, Wangxian City is just a verification of the side. Si Dao doesn't particularly care about this. He believed that there must be a reason why the major immortal sects did this. He has not yet learned the truth about the whole world and will not judge prematurely. As Jiang Yichen once said, although the essence of cultivating immortals is plunder, this does not prove that immortal cultivators are no different from demons.

On the contrary, it is the existence of the major immortal sects that keeps the world stable and peaceful. It's just that the Hellland Realm doesn't seem to be like this.

The counties and counties of Jiangcheng and Taisheng Kingdom have set up "soul snatching arrays" to plunder the people's longevity, so as to obtain rich spiritual power.

The difference is that the Spirit Snatching Array of the Taisheng Kingdom is a natural great array, which is even more sophisticated. Being in the Taisheng Realm, immortal cultivators could hardly detect the abnormalities in it. Jiang Cheng's Spirit Snatching Array was much more inferior. In addition, Jiang Cheng's Spirit Snatching Array was much stronger. Mortals live in the Taisheng Kingdom for a lifetime, and they lose up to eleven years of life. Mortals living in Jiangcheng lose at least one-third of their longevity.

This is the difference in the level and strength of the "Spirit Snatching Array". And what really makes Si Dao incomprehensible is another difference.

Why, the two worlds are obviously ruled by immortal cultivators, but the gap is so big? Although there are many demons in the Taisheng Kingdom, the lives of the common people are stable. And the Killing Prison Realm is completely full of misfortune and desolation.

What is the nature of this difference? This is what Sidao really wants to find. Vaguely, Si Dao felt that if he could discover the essence of this difference, he would be able to discover the truth of the world.

Si Dao pondered, and soon discovered another strange thing.

After setting foot in Wangxian City, he felt that the spiritual power of heaven and earth had become rich. But at the same time, the power of plunder has also increased tenfold. He had another guess, Wangxian City was another "Spirit Snatching Array". The object of its soul snatching is naturally the immortal cultivators in Wangxian City. This new conjecture is not difficult to verify.

Si Dao swept his gaze to the center of Wangxian City. It was the inner ring palace of Wangxian City. There was music from the palace, as if a banquet was being held.

Si Dao guessed that in the inner ring palace, the intensity of spiritual power could be compared to Hehuan Wonderland. The entire Jiangcheng plundered the vitality of the people and stored the spiritual power in Wangxian City. The vitality and spiritual power in Wangxian City were plundered again, and its spiritual power was stored in the inner ring palace. In this way, the spiritual power plundered by the entire Jiangcheng was basically concentrated in the inner ring palace.

Si Dao did not immediately go to the Inner Ring Palace to verify. He circled around the outer ring of Wangxian City. Along the way, he saw many immortal cultivators. The cultivation of these immortal cultivators is hovering in the realm of qi refining. He had yet to meet a foundation-building monk. This indicates that his conjecture is correct. In Wangxian City, immortal cultivators are also divided into levels. Qi refining cultivators could only practice in the outer ring of Wangxian City. And only truly powerful foundation-building monks are qualified to practice in the inner sanctum.

Then, he came to the front of the Inner Ring Palace, Si Dao had not yet set foot in the Inner Ring Palace, but he had already sensed the will of many foundation building monks. There are hundreds of foundation-building monks in the inner ring palace.

"Friend, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Inside the inner ring palace, a man's voice was heard. It seems that the owner of the palace has discovered the existence of Si Dao. Instead of getting angry, he extended an invitation to the priest.

Is this a friendly invitation or a feast? I don't know. Without much thought, he stepped into the inner ring palace.
