Chapter 434: The Soul's Sojourn
When Zhou Yang's back disappeared into the gladiatorial arena, the two young women glanced at each other and nodded.
Out of the gladiatorial arena, Zhou Yang rode the spirit deer back to the south bank of the river.
He galloped west for some distance, and when he saw that there was no one around, he led the spirit deer to the back of a large willow tree, took out the disguise potion and began to get busy.
When he returned to the street, Zhou Yang had already turned into a middle-aged man.
On the second day, he returned to the southwest gate to meet Cui Kai, and also gave him some disguise potions, and repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to safety, but did not say anything about his tracking.
He couldn't be sure about this matter, and saying it inevitably made Cui Kai nervous, but it increased the danger of exposure.
After separating again, Zhou Yang wandered around the city during the day and looked for clues, and repaired in the inn at night, so that the seven days passed quickly.
In the past seven days, Zhou Yang spent five nights reading the general history of Hezhou's cultivation realm.
He had a general understanding of the past and present life of the Hezhou cultivation realm, the customs and customs, the distribution of major forces, and the situation of some continents around Hezhou, etc., and benefited a lot, but at the same time, he was also shocked.
Not to mention anything else, for him before, it has always been a mystery about the number of continents in the world, and this book gives a more accurate answer.
The reason why it is more accurate than very accurate is that the author has read all the classics of Hezhou, and he has not found out how many continents and seas there are in the world, but he only included the confirmed and real continents and seas in the book.
According to the general history, there are three continents in the vicinity of Hezhou, and there is an endless ocean.
The three continents are the Ethereal Continent, the Dark Continent, and the Savage Wilderness.
The Dark Continent is also a Cultivation Continent, the scope is much larger than that of Hezhou, and there are many more cultivators, and the language, exercises, and living habits are also different from Hezhou.
And the wild wilderness, it is reported that there are no aborigines, all are boundless wild and fierce lands and many secret realms, as well as super powerful wild beasts, the environment is very sinister, it is an ordinary Jindan master to enter, and it is also a life of nine deaths.
And the masters of the late Jindan and even the Great Perfection Realm can only protect themselves when they enter the wilderness, and only the strong people of the God Realm can be unhindered.
As for the Ethereal Continent, it is almost a legendary existence, it is a high-level continent above the three continents, and if it does not reach the God Realm, it will not be able to go to the Ethereal Continent.
That boundless sea is called the Devil's Sea, and there are countless giant islands in the sea, many cultivators, and the number of sea beasts is also unknown. This sea is a paradise for demon cultivators and ghost cultivators, and it is said that the two devil cultivators of the Hezhou continent all come from there.
In addition to the legendary Ethereal Continent, the other three continents are all separated by the boundless wasteland, which ordinary cultivators may not be able to reach after walking for thousands of years, and the Devil's Sea is even farther.
In the ancient period, the three cultivation continents were originally connected by super teleportation arrays, but later, the relationship between the two continents of Hezhou and Darkness became increasingly tense, and finally a protracted war broke out, and those super teleportation arrays were destroyed.
Although the Devil's Sea and the Savage Wilderness have not started a war with these two continents, there is no cross-continent teleportation array at all, and only God Realm masters can reach it.
For nearly a million years, the war between Hezhou and the Dark Continent has continued, but no one has the upper hand.
Later, the nature of the war gradually changed, from a plundering war between continents to a war of training between young talents.
The two sides set up military camps on the mainland border, constantly recruiting young cultivators to join the army, and then confronting each other, attacking each other, and tempering the young cultivators on both sides in the war.
The army stationed on the border in Hezhou is called the Heavenly Army, which means the army that fights on behalf of the heavens, and every year, thousands of young cultivators arrive at the border and are incorporated into the Heavenly Army to fight, and they are trained in life and death again and again.
These people kill the number of cultivators and war beasts of the other party in exchange for military merits, and then exchange military merits for exercises, Taoism, pills and treasures, etc., and those with great military merits can also obtain fiefs.
Of course, the fiefdom of Hezhou is also restricted, and with military merits, you can only obtain the position of city lord at all levels below the main city, or receive the territory of a mortal state.
However, not every cultivator is qualified to participate in the battle of the continent, only those who have reached the realm of Tianyuan or above, are under the age of forty, and have been selected through layers of combat strength, formation, and will, can obtain the qualification to join the army.
Attached cities like Anping and Dingbei basically have no hope of participating in the election, let alone a small city like Tu Yan. Only the major main cities and above, or the major sects that have been inherited for more than 10,000 years, can select young talents to go to the border and carry out war training.
There are hundreds of thousands of attached cities in the four regions of Hezhou, southeast, northwest and northwest, and there are tens of thousands of main cities, and there are even more sects, and there are trillions of cultivators, but the number of places to participate in the war is very limited, so the competition is very fierce.
Every young cultivator felt honored and proud to be able to participate in the Battle of the Continent.
The above information, Zhou Yang had only been exposed to before, which was very vague. Reading this general history today can be described as an eye-opener and a lot of insight.
The successive city lords of Dingbei City were all served by the suzerain of Zhou Tianzong, according to the general history, it should have been exchanged for military merits through the battle of the mainland, and the later city lords of the past dynasties were just thanks to the blessings of their ancestors.
And the position of the city lord of the main city and the giant city is very important, and it is not enough to have military merits, it should be controlled by the major super forces respectively.
The General History also mentions the four continents and the area beyond the Devil's Sea, but it is only speculation.
And the most daring guess is that these four lands and one sea are only one domain, and it is a very small domain, and there are even larger domains beyond this domain. In addition, the starry sky is also introduced in the book, and these statements made Zhou Yang stunned for a long time.
According to the general history, the starry sky is even larger, but most of the countless planets in the starry sky are desolate and silent places, and there is not necessarily a single star of life in the 10,000 planets.
However, many planets contain abundant resources, and many resources are very useful to cultivators, and those living planets are actually the residencies of cultivators' souls after death!
He was stunned by this sentence.
In this way, the souls of his parents really exist in the stars in the sky, but they don't know which one it is.
Doesn't this mean that if he becomes super powerful, he will still have a chance to meet the souls of his parents!
Of course, there is another way to see it, and that is after you die.
For this statement, the general history also gives corroboration, but with Zhou Yang's current cultivation, it is impossible to understand those corroborations. Because those are all strong listed evidence above the Imperial God Realm, which they obtained after using the means of reaching the heavens.
Although it was not clear, Zhou Yang pondered for a long time and had a lot of ideas.
According to what is known so far, the souls of cultivators are to be dispersed after death, so the souls in those living planets must be broken and scattered, and it is estimated that they are also unconscious.
Also, since those planets are living planets, what kind of life exists? Broken unconscious souls certainly don't count. That is, there are other life on those planets.
After reading this record and thinking of his parents, Zhou Yang was a little melancholy, so he couldn't stand it anymore.
For the remaining two days, he was still wandering around the city during the day, and at night he began to figure out the art of tracing his qi.
The key point of the Hope Qi Tracing Technique is to look at the Qi.
In addition to the five elements of aura, each cultivator also has his own unique aura, which is also the hallmark of a cultivator. However, most cultivators who have reached a certain level of realm will hide their aura and will not release it easily.
If you want to master their breath, you must use some kind of secret technique, which gives rise to the technique of looking at qi and observing qi, and to practice the technique of looking at qi and tracing it, you must first cultivate the art of looking at qi and observing qi.
With Zhou Yang's talent, he mastered the essence of the Seven or Eight Points of Wangqi Technique in two nights. Next, he only needed to combine this Qi Hope technique with his divine consciousness and spiritual sense, but it was also the most difficult step.
Seven days have passed, and Zhou Yang came to Bojiafang City as promised.
As soon as he entered the gate of Fang City, he saw Fang Degao sitting behind a long table drinking tea and chatting with people.
"Zhou Daoyou, you're here!" Fang Degao caught a glimpse of Zhou Yang coming in, and hurriedly got up and greeted.
Zhou Yang nodded and walked over.
"Zhou Daoyou, let me introduce you, this is Ling Feiya, my sworn brother. Fang Degao introduced that person to Zhou Yang.
"I've seen Zhou Daoyou. Ling Feiya hugged his fists.
Zhou Yang also returned the salute with his fists.
Judging from the aura exuded by Ling Feiya, his cultivation should be in the Heavenly Yuan Eightfold Realm.
"Zhou Daoyou, my eldest brother has always been in charge of your affairs, so please ask him to tell you in detail. Fang Degao said.
"Has anyone found it?" Zhou Yang suddenly asked, it turned out that Ling Feiya was the one in charge.
"Zhou Daoyou, don't worry, there are many people here, let's talk in another place. Ling Feiya said.
Zhou Yang has no objection to this.
The three of them left Fang City and were led into a teahouse by Fang Degao.
The private room of the teahouse is blessed by the formation, and it has a soundproof effect, but Ling Feiya is still not at ease, and between the fingers, another soundproof barrier is laid out.
After doing all this, Ling Feiya said: "Although the matter entrusted by Zhou Daoyou is difficult, I have also found out some eyebrows. ”
Zhou raised his brows and frowned slightly, but he still didn't find anyone when he heard this.
Seeing Zhou Yang's disappointment, Ling Feiya said again: "Is that woman's guard two mutes, cultivated in the middle of Tianyuan?"
"Not bad. Zhou Yang nodded, Xiuwei had already told Fang Degao, but he didn't say anything about the dumb man, it seemed that they had really found a clue.
"That's right, the two mute guards were sold into the hands of slave cultivators. ”
"What!" Zhou Yang Huoran stood up and changed his face suddenly.
The You brothers were actually sold into the hands of slave cultivators, what the hell is going on? What about Xi Danjin?
