Chapter 4: The Land of the Dead

There was a strong wind blowing in the sky, and now it was winter, and everywhere was covered with a layer of snow, and two young men were galloping on the official road on horseback, although the official road had become a little muddy, but it could not reduce the speed of the horse.

"I'm afraid your strength can reach the next level, right?"

"You have reached the peak, just waiting for a breakthrough, although you have not yet reached the peak, but your strength is stronger than me, I am afraid that I will not be your opponent after breaking through. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured and won't cripple you. ”

“......”

The two men rode all the way to talk to each other, and the time flew by and did not feel bored, but when they reached the fork in the road they separated, one entered the path, and the other continued on the official road.

The young man walking on the path was dressed in a cyan fox fur coat, wearing a long sword around his waist, wearing a velvet hat, his long hair drooping behind his back, his facial features were upright, his eyebrows revealed a pride, he held a cyan wine gourd in his hand, drank a few sips from time to time, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not disperse, I don't know which woman he was thinking about.

"Phew~~ It's finally here. ”

The horse stopped in a black land, the land in front of it was pitch black, and the white world behind the horse became a stark contrast, the cold wind blowing in the air seemed to be much colder, looking at the black earth in front of him, the young man frowned slightly and didn't know what he was thinking.

He patted the horse on the buttocks and told him to go on, but the horse refused to go forward with a few chirps, and the young man got off the horse's back and pulled the reins on, but the horse still refused to move forward and neighed, as if he would die if he stepped on the black earth in front of him.

The young man was silent and let go of the reins, and took a step out of the boundless black earth ahead, then much more firmly, and walked forward without looking back, leaving only the horse standing in the snow and neighing at his distant back.

The dense dark clouds in the sky gradually changed from black to red, and the clouds on the horizon seemed to slowly converge into a whirlpool, in which a glimmer of light flickered, and the young man stopped and looked at the sky with a solemn face.

The true qi in his body rolled, and a pale white film of true qi enveloped his whole body, and then he continued to move forward, even if there was danger in the depths, he had to explore, the opportunity came with the crisis, what if he could break through?

This black land is called the Land of Dead Silence, spanning thousands of miles, it is rumored that it was caused by the giant gate that fell from the sky in the ancient Yuan era, and there were sages who set foot here in the past to try to approach the giant gate, but they were blocked in the place where the giant gate was a hundred meters away, and it was impossible to find out why this thousand miles of territory was dead and silent, but this area is also a land of luck, there are countless cultivators who have broken through the shackles in it, but there are also many people who have stayed here forever.

The young man's speed was very fast, and he saw a lot of dry bones along the way, some of them were only half cut off, and the moisture that filled the air gradually turned into miasma, covering the road ahead, and the ground was much softer, and this area was not covered with snow, which still made the young man curious.

"Ten years are like a day, and ten years are muddy. ”

A broken bronze tablet was placed diagonally on the ground, the young man glanced at it and continued to walk, according to the route left by the sages, there were a total of five bronze tablets from the periphery of the dead place to the inner perimeter, one bronze tablet represented a distance of thousands of miles, and when entering the range of the next bronze tablet, the miasma in the air would become more and more serious.

At the speed of a young man, after resting two or three times, he reached the last bronze tablet, where he could vaguely see the huge gate in the depths of the dead and silent place, and he felt palpitations at a glance from a distance, and he became very small in this heaven and earth.

"No desire, no want, no gain, drunk and drunk in the world. ”

Looking at the words on the last bronze tablet, the young man fell into deep thought, he had already arrived here, why could he not find his own opportunity, did he want to enter this last thousand miles, but this last thousand thousand miles was much more dangerous than the other four thousand miles, and there were ghosts and monsters in it.

Looking at the whirlpool gradually converging above his head, the young man gritted his teeth and embarked on the last thousand mile journey, the first step landed, and a cold came from the soles of his feet, making him shiver, and his true qi was a little unstable, almost letting the miasma enter his body.

After calming down, the state of mind adjusted and embarked on the journey again, the thunder gradually rose in the distance, the thunder rolled and rolled overhead, and it could fall at any time, the young man kicked his feet, and his true qi ran to the extreme and rushed forward.

Thousands of miles of whirlpools gather, Vientiane is born by chance!

The clouds above the nine heavens changed and the thunder rolled, the dark clouds in the sky slowly turned to form a whirlpool, the red thunder roared, like the wrath of the sky to vent the resentment of the sky to the world, the whirlpool mouth was facing the sky above the giant gate, and the young man was standing nine hundred miles away from the giant gate and meditating quietly.

His face was a little pale and his breath was not very stable, his velvet hat had already fallen off, his hair was unkempt and scattered, there were many more scratches on the cyan mink fur on his body, some of the scratches were still stained with dark red blood, and the long sword on his waist had also disappeared, obviously he had gone through many obstacles to get here, he originally wanted to continue to move forward, but his strength did not allow him to do anything, he could feel that there were many vague breaths ahead, and the weakest could kill him on the spot.

But in this place, he could feel that his cultivation was a little sensational, and he was sure that he would break through the shackles and enter the next level when the Thunder Tribulation came, and what he had to do now was to adjust his spirit and spirit to meet the Thunder Tribulation.

There were more and more thunderbolts tumbling in the whirlpool, and the entire sky was rendered red, and the red rays shone on the earth, making this dead and silent place a little more strange, as if the end of the world had come, and gusts of wind began to hang in the air, and the howling wind was mixed with alternative sounds.

The sound of small conversations, shouting and shouting, the sound of horses, the sound of chariots...... There are also some feminine voices......

The young man who closed his eyes and breathed opened his eyes and scanned the world, everywhere was red, a figure wandered on the ground, some of them bumped into the young man's body and passed directly, without a trace of abnormality, as if he did not exist.

Standing up from the ground, the young man looked a little confused, and the surrounding scenery began to become more and more solid, the streets, shops, hawkers, pedestrians...... Isn't this supposed to be a deserted place, and why would anyone live here?

Walking through the streets, the scene around him seemed to be real, there were vendors yelling at him, and he could touch everything here, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he seemed to feel a little light......

Looking up at the sky, the sky was still red, but there were no dark clouds, no thunder, and no giant gates, leaving only a piece of sky, as bright red as blood, and there was a smiling face in the sky......

At this moment, a black hand stretched out from under the ground and grabbed the corner of the young man's clothes and tugged violently, causing the young man to be thrilled, and the surrounding scenery instantly dissipated and returned to the previous dead silence, there was no weird smiling face in the sky, only a red thunderbolt slashed down.
