Chapter 25: Breakthrough
The wild forest stretches endlessly, and there are infinite treasures and dangers hidden in it. Since the establishment of human civilization, I don't know how many geniuses have tried to conquer this place, but unfortunately they all failed in the end. Over the years, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, but the wild forest has remained the same.
Fortunately, this world is vast enough, even if all living beings can cultivate, this heaven and earth also has enough resources. However, people's desires are endless, and even if the wild forest is dangerous, there are still people who will follow suit.
To the north of the Savage Forest, a mountain range hundreds of thousands of miles long isolates it from human society, and this mountain range is called the Heavenly Broken Mountains. Strange to say, the two sides of the Tianduan Mountain Range are like two worlds, the bottomless wild forest in the south, and the rich paradise on earth in the north. At that time, if a human cultivator wanted to enter the Savage Forest, he had to first cross the Heavenly Broken Mountain Range, and only a few innate powerhouses could pass through it smoothly.
After that, a great change occurred, and a gap appeared in the western section of the Tianduan Mountain Range, which was equivalent to opening a door for humans to enter the wild forest. The gap was just south of Weeping Blood. At that time, there was a big fight between the Great Yu Kingdom and the Golden Wolf Empire around this area, and both sides paid a great price. In the end, the Great Yu Kingdom won with the support of other Central Region countries, and the Weeping Blood City was established.
Zhou Tianci recalled the information of the wild forest in his heart, and felt more and more that this world was more mysterious than the cosmic starry sky in his previous life.
"How big this world is, I'm afraid no one can say. Although I don't know how big the wild forest is, it is definitely not the whole of this world, and there is an ocean beyond the continent. "Zhou Tianci thought of Zhou Shi's hometown, it was by the sea.
More than 200 miles away from Zhou Tianci, Shepan Mountain has become lively.
On the tenth day of entering the wild forest, Liu Yuntao and the others finally arrived at Shepan Mountain.
Snake Pan Mountain has a radius of 100 miles, which is nothing compared to its main vein, the Black Dragon Mountain Range, let alone compared to the Tianduan Mountain Range. The mountains here are surrounded like coiled snakes, and the mountains are undulating and overlapping, which is a treasure land. The interior of Shepan Mountain is gentle, although the area is not large, but it has a strong aura, and the outer dense forest is full of trees, which is no different from other places around. There are nine gaps between the rocks of Shepan Mountain, which connect the inside and outside of Shepan Mountain.
The Shepan Mountain is steep, and the only way to get into it is through these nine passes.
"Lu Fei, you make arrangements and immediately control the Nine Great Mountain Passes. Liu Yuntao ordered, at this time, there were only 9 legions around him, and the other legions were all sent to clean up the fierce beasts near Weeping Blood City. However, the remaining 14 legions will soon arrive to join them.
"Obey!" Lu Fei arched his hand, it was not the first time he had come to Shepan Mountain, he was very familiar with this place, and he quickly arranged the defense of the Nine Great Mountain Passes.
"General, the beast tide is now in the second stage, I'm afraid we will have to wait here for a few more days. Sun Chong felt the aura outside the Snake Pan Mountain and said.
"Commander Sun, how did this beast tide happen?" asked Cao Ming, the leader of the Blood War Legion, who had not long been transferred from the royal capital to Weeping Blood City, and he didn't know everything about the beast tide.
Sun Chong said: "If Commander Cao is asking about the beast tide in Weeping Blood City, I know the reason......
"Commander Sun, are you saying there are other beast tides?" Cao Ming said in amazement.
Sun Zhong touched his long beard and said: "This is nature, there are countless beasts and monsters in the wild forest, and any change may cause a beast tide." If it weren't for the obstruction of the Heavenly Broken Mountain Range, the places near the wild forests in the middle region would be threatened by the beast tide at any time. Not to mention the rest, let's just say that the beast tide in Weeping Blood City, more than four hundred years ago, the heavens and the earth changed greatly, and the western section of the Tianduan Mountain Range collapsed, opening the door for humans to enter the wild forest. Humans can enter from this, and the beasts and monsters can also come out from this. As far as I know, before the city was founded, it was often infested by fierce beasts from the wild forest......"
Including Liu Yuntao, everyone listened quietly. Sun Chong is a general from Weeping Blood City, who has been stationed in Weeping Blood City for more than 30 years, and knows more about this place than anyone present.
“…… After the great changes in heaven and earth, countless warriors rushed here, wanting to enter the treasure house of the wild forest. Everyone knows that the Savage Forest has endless treasures, but at the same time, there are endless dangers. After more than a hundred years of fighting, the human warriors finally cleaned up the nearby fierce beasts and demon beasts, and gradually established the Weeping Blood City. Sun Chong's words were filled with blood, making people feel as if they had returned to the tragic battle between humans and fierce beasts and demon beasts.
“…… After the establishment of Weeping Blood City, there were constantly warriors entering the Wild Forest through it, and the Great Yu Kingdom issued an order to exempt the area in the south of Weeping Blood City and encourage them to settle in the Wild Forest. In this way, for more than 300 years, the beasts near Weeping Blood City have been reduced to the point where they are today, and the threat of beast tides has basically been eliminated. Even so, we have come all the way, and there are still beasts everywhere, how many!" Sun Zhong shook his head.
"Ah, the threat of the beast tide is gone, but isn't there still a beast tide?" Cao Ming wondered.
Sun Chong looked at Shepan Mountain and said: "There is a special reason for today's beast tide, and the source is in this Shepan Mountain. There is a spirit lake in Shepan Mountain, and every 10 to 20 years, the spirit lake will give birth to about 10 yuan crystal ......"
"Yuanjing!" exclaimed the commander.
"Not bad. This secret was discovered by the ancestors of the four major families more than 100 years ago. Sun Chongdao.
"Before coming to Crying Blood City, I was still a little strange, the rise of the four major families was too sudden, and they had accumulated so many innate powerhouses in just one hundred years. It wasn't until I heard about Linghu later that I was relieved. The damn thing is that the matter of Linghu and Yuanjing, the four major families have been hiding it from the imperial court for decades!" Liu Yuntao said.
This world is rich in aura, and this can support the cultivation of all living beings. However, the aura is not evenly distributed, in some cultivation treasure lands, the aura is much stronger, and the spirit lake is one of the cultivation treasure lands. As for the Yuan Crystal, it is the crystallization of the aura, and unlike the aura, it also has special powers. Yuan Jing can be absorbed by martial artists above the late stage of the day after tomorrow, it can not only nourish the martial artist's Yuan Shen, but also help condense true qi. In other words, Yuan Jing can help martial artists advance smoothly to the innate and is an extremely precious treasure!
Cao Ming also understood at this time: "No wonder, no wonder, these fierce beasts must have been attracted by Yuanjing!"
"Not bad. Yuan Jing can not only help human warriors advance to the innate level, but also help fierce beasts evolve into demon beasts. The spiritual sense of the beast is stronger than that of humans, and when the Yuan Crystal is formed, the beasts in the surrounding area can feel it. Sun Zhong affirmed Cao Ming's speculation, "The attraction of Yuanjing makes the beasts riot collectively, and some beasts that usually hide from human hunting will also jump out and attack humans desperately, but in the end, all the beasts target is Snake Mountain!"
Liu Yuntao looked at the heavy mountains and green snake mountains, and nodded silently: "It seems that it is another big battle." ”
The 9 legions methodically deployed defenses in the mountain pass, while slaying the nearby beasts. Right now, there are still a few days left before the high tide and tide stage of the beast, and there are not so many fierce beasts near Snake Pan Mountain. Liu Yuntao led the commanders to climb a cliff along a steep stone wall, and looked down on the snake valley from the cliff.
The cliff is more than 1,000 meters high, and the stone walls on all sides are smooth, like a sharp sword breaking through the sky. Such a cliff is extremely difficult to climb, but in front of Liu Yuntao and other innate powerhouses, it is nothing at all, and in a few minutes, more than a dozen people came to the top of the cliff. Looking at the valley from above, the valley is shrouded in white mist, revealing verdant plains from time to time, there are no big trees in the valley, and the green grass is particularly lush, it is indeed a treasure land.
"Commander Sun, where is Linghu?" asked Liu Yuntao.
Sun Zhong replied: "General, you can't see the Spirit Lake here. There is a cave on the east side of the valley, and the Spirit Lake is in the cave. ”
"Roar!" the long beast roar came from the valley, and everyone's faces changed.
"It seems that our breath has alarmed the demon beasts in the valley. Sun Chong's face was serious.
Cao Ming, the youngest among the people, nodded and said, "There is no doubt that it is an innate demon beast, and it is a very powerful innate demon beast." Even if it's so far away, it can still oppress me like this, it must be a top-level demon beast!"
Liu Yuntao's face has not changed, he is a strong man in the late congenital stage, he has fought all his life, and he has killed many demon beasts with his own hands, so he will naturally not be afraid of demon beasts.
"Let's go down first, Yuanjing hasn't taken shape yet, so don't alarm the demon beasts in the valley. Liu Yuntao took the lead down the cliff.
……
"Chen Xiangrong, how far are we from Shepan Mountain now?" Zhou Tianci asked Chen Xiangrong, who was in charge of guiding the way.
"About 200 miles. Chen Xiangrong estimated and said.
Zhou Tianci said: "So we still have three days, it seems that there is no problem." Tell me to set up camp here today and set out early tomorrow morning. ”
Chen Xiangrong was puzzled: "My lord, there are still two hours before dark, so set up camp so early......
Zhou Tianci didn't explain, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”
After Chen Xiangrong left, Zhou Tianci turned to Lei Dong and the three Li brothers and said, "I will break through the retreat tonight, and you will protect the Dharma for me." I have a hunch that this is not very peaceful, so you must be more careful!"
Lei Dong just nodded when he heard this, but the three Li brothers were shocked.
"My lord, when you say breakthrough, is it innate?" Li Feng's excited voice trembled.
Zhou Tianci nodded, he had reached the threshold of breakthrough, and in just one night, he could easily step into the threshold of the day after tomorrow to the innate level, be reborn, and truly embark on the path of cultivation!
