Half a month later, I visited Kunlun and the teachers and friends of the Dragon and Tiger Sect who helped Wenhou in Chang'an, and asked Wenhou to make up for me at the nine-person meeting an announcement that "the head of the Demon Ridge is capable of killing demons, and the Sword Sect will pardon my mistakes and never ask again" (as for who I beheaded, Gu, Mu, and Universe Feng naturally understood in their hearts, but they would never dare to speak out), and then prepared to return to Kunlun to remove the Yin Demon and promote the Yuan Baby. Yin Yuanyuan deliberately handed over to Zhang Jizi the ministry of collecting medicine and refining medicine in Guanzhong, and I agreed with Yin Yuanyuan that he would continue to tutor me in refining medicine, and I would be his sparring partner for fighting the mountains and rivers again; Liu Ziyue did several errands one after another, and the spearhead of the impeachment of the generals in Guanzhong turned to him again, so he used the excuse of rerefining the broken shadow technique, and also returned to Kunlun to avoid the limelight.

At the end of February of the third year of Zhengtai, the three of us bid farewell to Wenhou and returned to Kunlun in the west. The land route to the west is still blocked by the mountains of the Ouyang family and the demon monkey, and we must instead yearn north to the sea, and then to the west by the Middle-earth continent. It takes nearly a year for a Kunlun Inner Sect disciple to travel back and forth between the two continents, and it takes several years to transfer the army and materials. Although the sect has a number of celestial light boats and cargo hutian, the elders will be extremely strict in their review, and they must not be used when they come and go.

Shangguan Ziyu accompanied us to Cloud City on the Heavenly Plateau. On the vast desert stands a towering lonely city, equipped with nearly a hundred fortress cannons. A golden river runs through the city's residences, and also nourishes the beautiful oasis on both sides. The sand moraine east of Cloudsdale is lined with many chimney-like solid stone mouths, and hundreds of black smoke rises from the mouths, almost dyeing half of the sky into ink. Shangguan Ziyu told us that the big underground is a place for building ships and building armor and puppets. There were originally treasure mines and black fire under the Heavenly Plateau, which were specially sealed when Kunlun left Middle Earth and reactivated today. Yuan Zhi is either handling official business in Cloud City, or supervising the construction of underground workshops, and she has not slacked off for a day.

Shangguan Ziyu is going to Cloud City to review the construction process of the billionaire consortium, and here is to say goodbye to the three of us; I hesitated whether to meet Yuan Zhi, my heart was mixed with likes and dislikes, and I thought that I didn't care about anything else, just keep her life intact, and now it was not Yuan Zhi's crisis, after all, I gave up the idea of meeting.

After the inspection of the outpost of Cloud City, only me, Yin, and Liu were left to move forward. I rode the Purple Electric Flying Dragon and led the two of them through the desert and grassland. The colder the north became, the more sparsely populated the city, and only occasionally glimpses of a dozen or dozens of fur-covered nomadic savages, and the dogs, horses, and tents that wandered with them.

Unconsciously the waves of the North Sea sounded, and it had reached the surface of the ocean. There is no difference everywhere, and the sky and water are the same. We took the nautical chart of Kunlun, and with the positioning of weights and measures, we turned to the west.

Yinghai is huge, and Jin Dan will fly all the way west, and sooner or later he will die of exhaustion, let alone mortals. This chart is very secretive, marking the countless islands in Kunlun's control between the Western Wilderness and Middle Earth, which is enough for the men to rest on the long journey. Some of the islands on the map were discovered by our Kunlun, some were purchased by our sect, some were annexed by our clan, and some islands were specially raised from the bottom of the sea to connect the island chain. The Council of Elders adjusted the aura around these islands, and they loomed and could be easily spotted by people from non-sects.

A few days later, we arrived at Xibei Island, which is the closest Middle Earth in Kunlun. The island is mixed with the sea, and it only appears for a quarter of an hour every day. This island has a radius of dozens of miles, and it is a barren island without aura that insects can't find one, which does not conform to the tradition of Kunlun and elixir treasures. It is probably only eight hundred miles away from the demon monkey territory, and our sect does not want to conflict with it needlessly, so we deliberately chose this place.

Deep in the caves of the island are garrisoned by two Kunlun Jindan. One is called Qiu Shen, the other is called Kou Zhong, and both of them are full of irrepressible resentment.

I know the reason: this island is not suitable for cultivation, and it is far away from the terroir of indoctrination, and staying in this wasted time is like a distribution; If it weren't for the two golden pills as a companion to entertain loneliness, the monks stationed there would either be stupid or would have abandoned the island and left.

Yin Yuanyuan came to Middle-earth before and was blinded by the two, but this time he pretended not to see it. Liu Ziyue used the example of Xiaolongnu, the leader of the ancient martial arts alliance, who had been alone in the ancient tomb for 16 years, to encourage him, but he was chased and beaten by Qiu Shenkou - the two of them had been on the island for a full 20 years! I was kind enough to appease and promised to ask the sect to find someone else to replace them at the 26th Mountain and River List, and Qiu Shenkou gave up.

After a few days, we followed the charts and passed through several islands:

Some islands are surrounded by storms, similar to the Baiyun Island I saw when I was a teenager, but the scale is smaller, and the forbidden method of reciting Kunlun can open the cave;

Some islands are entrenched by sea monsters with bird-winged human heads and bewitching voices, and ordinary casual cultivators will never dare to board. Our sect has a special exorcism incense to temporarily put it away.

Some islands also have chiefdoms. Blue-eyed, white-skinned, golden, or brown barbarians can forge bronze weapons, build sailboats on the bow of sea monsters, and build stone castles. We also did not interfere in the disputes of the island's nations, and flew straight into the cave where the islanders revered as a sacred mountain. Antai here, the disciples can patrol it, there is no need to leave people to garrison, only a few prohibitions are set up in the cave, and there are Dan rooms, Zhi rooms, and sword rooms. There are dozens of flying swords cultivated by our sect in the sword room, and there are two high-grade flying swords in it. If a warrior from the chiefdom is destined to enter the cave and obtain these treasures, he can immediately dominate the island - but between the top of the mountain and the mountainside, I have set up an extremely cold zone for several miles, and the mortals who enter will freeze into icemen within a dozen breaths. Nothing like that has ever happened.

"Senior Brother Yin, didn't Le Zhenren, a barbarian, just hit a chance from this kind of island?" Le Jingxin didn't smile, he was upright and fearful, I didn't like him very much in my heart, and it was good to hack him a few words if it was okay.

"Although Le Zhenren is similar in appearance to these barbarians, he was born from a wealthy family in the Western Wilderness Continent, where he needs to collide with chance, it is enough to take the right path of the sect to recruit immortals. The Western Wilderness is vast, but it is similar to Middle-earth, and it is also coarse and civilized, with castles, books, art of war, food, music, and can also build good iron, good swords, good ships, good horses and dogs, and there is a quarter of the talents in Middle-earth, and Le Zhenren is one of the immortal generations. But the nations are at war endlessly, a city for a hundred miles, a fortress for ten miles, and the lords are like wolves, and thieves are like hair. After the Luo Shen family and our sect arrived in the Western Wilderness, they introduced the firearms, papermaking, printing and navigation of Middle-earth, and the civilization of the Western Wilderness gradually became meteoric. ”

Yin Yuanyuan said.

"There are only a few small seaport city-states that are rich enough to form a small force of firearms, and the inland is so desolate that no oil or water can be squeezed out. Liu Zi crossed.

"And where did the barbarians and the people of the Western Wilderness come from?"

Yin Yuanyuan pondered the knowledge in his lower abdomen and said,

"According to the research of the head of Yan, the human race barbarians in the world were all sown from Middle-earth to the Four Wildernesses in the flood years, and after the transformation of dozens of generations to hundreds of generations, their appearance is gradually different from that of the people of Middle-earth. You see that the barbarians on this island are backward, but in fact, they are the ancestors of the people of the Western Wilderness - there were very few human races during the flood and famine, and they did not have the knowledge of the size of heaven and earth. In this way, dozens of generations later, when they arrived at the rich Western Wilderness Continent, they opened up a major vein of the human race. The other Three Desolation Terrans are also the reason for this migration - it's just that the Northern Desolation Demon Clan is raging, and there are not many Terrans left there. ”

I can't help but sigh - now the golden pill is only a few months, and the human race can cross the continent in only a few years, and it takes dozens of generations to spend time in the flood and famine. At that time, people knew that it was small, and they thought that the heavens and the earth were small. Now the human race has become more and more knowledgeable, and the world has also opened up. But knowledge is boundless, and when we can explore the Great Ying Sea beyond the five continents, future generations will look at today, just as people today will look at the ancients.

I suddenly had a thought: Those patriarchs and real people who can cross two continents in one day also have people who travel outside the five continents?

I thought of the Wanliyun Patriarch I once met, and I had a great conviction: the cultivator takes the heaven and the earth, controls the six qi, enters and exits the manifest and hidden, and travels around with the Tao. There must be such cultivators!

I said to Yin Yuanyuan and Liu Zi,

"Cultivators can't just throw their time on the road. I haven't got rid of the Yin Demon, and I can't further my Dao skills. Senior Brother Yin has already instructed me to refine the Yellow Bud Pill and the Blood Pill in the Sealed Demon Ridge, since there are furnace tripods and medicinal materials in this cave, I will take them and borrow them, you continue to teach me to refine the Rotten Heart Pill and the Soul Rejuvenation Pill. Senior Brother Liu can also use the Xuanyin Pill in the cave to refine the shadow technique. ”

The two are good.
