Chapter 1995 Journey to the West
The human race in the spiritual world has three realms: the Heavenly Emperor Realm, the Earthly Emperor Realm, and the Human Emperor Realm.
The Human Emperor Realm belongs to the two subordinate continents, and the closest to the Earthly Emperor Realm in the Human Emperor Realm is the Western Region.
This place is vast and rich in resources, and it is the most vast area in the entire Human Emperor Realm, but on the contrary, it is the most sparsely populated place, and there are even very few sects in the Western Region.
It is worth mentioning that there is a top sect here, and it is the most special sect in the Human Emperor Realm.
The Immortal Soul Sect.
The number of disciples and elders in this sect does not exceed one thousand, and only soul cultivators are accepted in the sect, but they are indeed the real giants in the Western Region. Not only no one dares to confront them, but many small sects are dependent on them.
Not far from the Immortal Soul Sect is Tiantai Mountain. The Wuxian City on the mountain is not well-known, but it is a holy place that countless Western Region cultivators yearn for. No matter how sinful things they have done outside, as long as they can come to Wuxian City, almost no one can govern them.
Unfortunately, Wuxian City is surrounded by extremely terrible fog, and ordinary people cannot pass through it at all. Therefore, even though they know that this place has endless benefits, many people still stay away.
On this day, the sky was clear and cloudless.
In a desert Gobi, a group of five people were walking.
Among the five people, there was a skinny old man, a beautiful young woman with fair skin, a blind man with scabs on both eyes holding an iron rod, and two young men in their twenties or thirties.
One of the two young men was wearing a black robe and looked ordinary. He was not conspicuous among the few people. The other was wearing a tattered linen robe and was a bald monk.
The five people walked in the desert, like the ascetics in the world, with very slow steps, but the violent wind and sand in the desert could not shake their figures.
"Old Wu Lingzi, you said you could lead us to find the way to Wuxian City, but now you lead us into this Gobi Desert. You are not old and confused and remember the wrong way, are you?"
A muffled voice sounded, and it was the blind man who spoke. The iron stick in his hand tapped the ground, emitting powerful void ripples.
It turned out to be a master in the early stage of returning to the void.
And he was obviously talking to the thin old man in front of him.
The old man was wearing a Taoist robe. If it weren't for the deep gloom between his eyebrows, he really had the intention of getting a master.
He looked back at the blind man and said, "I only agree to be your guide this time, but I can't guarantee that we can reach Wuxian City smoothly. If fellow Daoist Tiewu doesn't trust me, you can return the same way. I will never stop you."
The old man also exuded the power of the void, and his cultivation was comparable to that of the blind man.
"Humph! We have come here, do you think Tie will go back?" The blind man named Tiewu snorted coldly.
"Since you don't want to go back, then Fellow Daoist Tie, please shut up." Wu Lingzi said with a straight face without giving any face.
"You!"
The blind man Tiewu's face flashed with anger, as if he was going to continue arguing with Wu Lingzi.
At this time, the young woman next to him came forward and stood between the two of them with a smile, persuading them: "Both Daoists, please calm down. Now we are all on the same boat. Why should we hurt the harmony over such a small matter?"
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Tie is used to being alone, so his temper is inevitably a bit strange. Fellow Daoist Wu Lingzi comes from a Taoist family, so he should be generous. In the end, we all need to rely on Fellow Daoist Wu Lingzi this time. After all, you are the only one who knows another shortcut to Wuxian City."
This woman can only be considered average in terms of figure and appearance, but her cultivation is also not weak, and she has also reached the initial level of returning to the void.
Tiewu shook his iron stick, exuding a cold breath, and was obviously very dissatisfied.
Taoist Wu Lingzi waved his sleeves and sneered, ignoring him.
The woman saw that she could not persuade the two men, and her eyes flickered. Then she looked at the other black-clothed young man and the monk in a linen robe and said, "Friend Chang, Master Buyi, you two should also persuade them. After all, our goal is to go to Wuxian City. I think you don't want to give up halfway, right?"
The black-clothed young man surnamed Chang frowned slightly, glanced at the two men, and said nothing calmly.
The monk in hemp robe next to him put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, what Fellow Daoist Yan Qiuxue said is right. It is unknown how dangerous it is to go to Wuxian City. If you two have a conflict now, it will be detrimental to our progress."
The old Taoist Wu Lingzi flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "I will share the news of the shortcut to Wuxian City with you. Since you have decided to follow me, you should trust me."
"Of course, of course... We are lucky to meet Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist knows the shortcut to Wuxian City and can reveal it to us. I am really grateful." The young woman Yan Qiuxue chuckled.
Wu Lingzi glanced at her, with a bit of strangeness in his eyes, and said with a low laugh, "Fellow Daoist Yan is still pleasing to the ear. Don't worry, since I promised to take you to take the shortcut, I will naturally not lie to you."
The blind man Tie still snorted coldly.
But this time, he didn't interrupt again.
Taoist Wu Lingzi didn't care. He looked forward and smiled at Yan Qiuxue and the other two: "Do you see? The end of this desert is the boundary barrier that borders the Earth Emperor Realm. If we take a detour from here, we can avoid the fog barrier of Tiantai Mountain and reach the back of Wuxian City."
Everyone immediately followed his gaze and looked in unison.
In the distance, a void barrier seemed to be completely natural, exuding huge coercion and isolating the world. Judging from the terrifying aura coming from above, it was feared that a late-stage Void Return monk would be killed on the spot if he approached.
This barrier is the connection between the Human Emperor Realm and the Earth Emperor Realm. It is said that in order to step from the Human Emperor Realm to the Earth Emperor Realm, one must have a cross-border order issued by a subordinate force in the Earth Emperor Realm to pass, otherwise the Human Emperor Realm can pass through. Once the Imperial Realm monks enter, they will be immediately obliterated by the ban.
They are both in the human realm, so no one can trace why there is such a rule, and outside this barrier is the desert where a group of five people are.
They were all going to Wuxian City on this trip. Originally, the five of them were not familiar with each other, but after meeting halfway, the five of them had the same purpose.
What surprised a few people was that Wu Lingzi actually knew a shortcut to Wuxian City without passing through the dangerous fog barrier. As a result, the other people were naturally overjoyed, and Wu Lingzi naturally became the leader of the group.
"Fellow Taoist Wu Lingzi, are you sure there is nothing dangerous on that shortcut?"
Everyone was silent when suddenly someone asked.
The speaker was the young man named Chang.
Wu Lingzi retracted his gaze and looked at him, and said: "Since Fellow Taoist Chang Mo asked this, I will tell you the truth. There are risks in this shortcut. After bypassing this desert, we will pass by A storm valley is filled with natural sandstorms all year round. There is also a sixth-level ancient beast guarding it. If you want to cross the valley, you must deal with this beast. "
"Advanced Level 6! That's comparable to the strength of the late stage of Return to Void, and it's also an ancient beast. Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" After hearing Wu Lingzi's words, the iron blind man's face became gloomy.
The expressions on the other people's faces suddenly turned a little ugly.
Ancient beasts are different from ordinary monsters. They are left over from ancient times. Their magical powers are more terrifying than ordinary monsters. What's more, they are still at the sixth level. I'm afraid no one here can deal with them.
"If I had told you in advance, wouldn't you guys have followed me?" Wu Lingzi sneered and said, "Compared with dealing with a sixth-level upper-level monster or forcibly crossing the Tiantai Mountain fog barrier, which one is more dangerous? I think it is more dangerous. You all know it well, right?"
The iron blind man's expression froze, he snorted heavily and did not continue to speak.
Yan Qiuxue and the commoner master were also silent. Wu Lingzi was right. The Tiantai Mountain fog barrier was almost a forbidden area, and the chance of surviving a forced invasion was less than three-tenths.
But dealing with ancient beasts at the upper level of the sixth level is no joke. For such great monsters that are comparable to the late stage of returning to the void, a magical power may make them fall on the spot.
"Fellow Taoist Wu Lingzi took the initiative to gather us. I guess he had a plan for this, right?" Suddenly, the young man named Chang asked again.
When Wu Lingzi heard this, he glanced at him in surprise, then laughed and said: "Fellow Taoist Chang Mo is indeed very perceptive, I admire him."
The young man surnamed Chang didn't say a word, just looked at him calmly.
Wu Lingzi smiled and said: "To be honest, under normal circumstances, Pindao would not dare to provoke the sixth-level ancient beast. However, I have inspected it no less than three times before and found that the ancient beast is lurking in Storm Valley. , but this monster suddenly broke into the isolation and restriction of the Earth Emperor Realm three months ago for unknown reasons, and came back seriously injured. Originally, Pindao wanted to take the opportunity to kill this beast, but although this beast was seriously injured, its magical power was still It was too severe, and the natural storm in the Storm Valley was extremely difficult to break through, so I had to give up. "
"The ancient beast was actually injured?" Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
"That's right." Wu Lingzi nodded, "So Pindao has gathered all his Taoist friends this time to combine everyone's strength to deal with that beast. I believe that with the cultivation of the five of us, we can definitely kill him on the spot. "
"The injured sixth-level upper-level monster... can give it a try." The young man named Chang's eyes flashed slightly and he murmured to himself.
This young man was clearly Ye Chunyang who was heading west after leaving Qingshan Town!
Chang Mo is his pseudonym. This name originally belonged to the bearded man who was killed by Zhang Wu after tipping him off. In order to hide his purpose of finding Leiyunchi, he temporarily used this name to hide his identity.
While inquiring about the news, he learned that in order to find the exact location of Leiyunchi, he must first go to Wuxian City to inquire. He happened to meet Wu Lingzi and four others on the road, so he went with them.
