Chapter 210 Difficulty

Green-in-Blue-Arc City is one of the five major cities in the Zimu Liuhua Domain. Due to its special geographical location, its population is multiples of other major cities.

Like Qianshui City beside Qianshui, Green-in-Blue-Arc City is an important city guarding the domain gate. Because there are many people traveling between the two domains, it is heavily guarded. These troops are all stationed by various factions in Zimu Liuhua Domain. Although there are constant small conflicts here, there are very few major conflicts. It is almost a place for disciples of major sects to gild and increase their merits.

Five years ago, Gong Yang Zhongyu served here, and three years ago, Ji Zichen also stayed here.

The teams that were heading to the Northern Territory to participate in the Twelve Sects Grand Martial Arts Show gathered here. Although the number of participants was small, there were quite a few participants. The heads of the selected sects all had to go there and co-host the show. Then there were a series of people responsible for daily life, a huge number of people, numbering in the hundreds.

Such a team is not uncommon here, and even teams of thousands of people often appear here, because Green Blue Arc City is very close to the Hundred Woods Forest. Not only the people from the Purple Mu Liuhua Territory, but also the people from the Northern Territory often come to Green Blue Arc City to rest before entering the Hundred Woods Forest. The Hundred Woods Forest covers a vast area, with a wide variety of spirit beasts and rich resources, which attracts those who take risks to enter the Hundred Woods Forest for spirit stones. However, due to the danger of the Hundred Woods Forest, most of the cultivators who enter the Hundred Woods Forest enter in groups, so teams of hundreds or even thousands of people can often be seen here.

Although there are not many people, they have gathered the supreme power and combat power of the entire Zimu Liuhua Region. They are the most luxurious team ever to appear in the Green and Blue Arc City.

The prairie in front of us seemed extremely open and vast, with green grass and blue sky. Even the air had a faint smell of grass. Not far away was a pool of emerald green water, clear and quiet, sparkling in the afterglow of the setting sun, shining with golden brilliance. That was the gateway to the northern border, blue in the green!

Gongyang Zhongyu was full of fighting spirit. He had long wanted to meet a master from his domain, but had never had the chance. This time, he finally got his wish.

"Brother Ji, Brother Gongyang, Brother Lin!" Dongze came to the others with a smile, clasped his fists and said, "This time we are representing Zimu Liuhua Territory to participate in the Twelve Sects Martial Arts Show. I hope you will take good care of us."

Lin Dai said with a smile: "Brother Dongze, you are joking. Who in Zimu Liuhua Territory doesn't know that the Five Elements Square Formation formed by Brother Dongze's Five Elements Rats is varied and powerful? It should be me who needs Brother Dongze's care."

"Brother Lin is too modest!"

Ji Zichen turned around and said, "Don't be so modest. The fact that we four were chosen shows that we are the top of the younger generation. But in other regions, we should be careful and take care of each other!"

"That's right, Brother Ji is right, we should take care of each other!" Dongze laughed and said, "We want to let the people of the Northern Territory and the Mingjing Territory know that our Zimu Liuhua Territory is the strongest!"

"That's right!" Lin Dai nodded, but then sighed, "However, everything depends on the four of us. As for the representative of the people..."

He didn't finish his words, and then he kept silent. But everyone here is a smart person, so it's natural that the person he was referring to was Shi Yan, a person who had been selected in other ways.

Ji Zichen also smiled bitterly and shook his head, "As long as we work together, we will definitely win the championship!" The word "we" is worth discussing. Does it refer to the five members of the team or just the four people here? Everyone has their own thoughts.

At this time, Gongyang Zhongyu spoke up, "Don't underestimate him. If he explodes, none of us will be his match." After that, he turned and left.

Lin Dai snorted coldly, "He seems to have overestimated Shi Yan!"

Ji Zichen said: "Brother Gongyang is like this, if you have something to say, please don't mind it. Brother Gongyang is very skilled in martial arts, and is comparable to me, but he has his own unique way of judging people."

Lin Dai chuckled, "Brother Ji, what you said makes sense. I have come into contact with Yan at that time. He was just a gangster. He was lucky enough to rise to prominence and become Hua Ruo's disciple. Otherwise, how could he be compared with us?"

"Okay, it's getting late. We'll set off in half an hour. I'd better go back and check my things to avoid any mistakes." Dongze waved to Ji Zichen and Lin Dai, then left.

"Arrange things? Humph, does he still need to do it himself when he is in such a position?" Lin Dai sneered, "Back then in the Yunxiao Palace, I saw him and Shi Yan drinking and chatting happily. Could it be that he is doing the same thing as Gong Yang Zhongyu?"

Ji Zichen smiled and said nothing, but a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

“Perhaps Shi Yan has his own unique qualities, but he is not worth your obsession!” Ji Zichen clenched his fists, “Am I, Ji Zichen, not as good as Shi Yan? You have been competing with me for the first place for so many years, but you still don’t take me seriously!” He looked at Gong Yang Yichen not far away and smiled slightly, “But after a while, I will let you know who is the real number one and who you should pay attention to!”

Gongyang Yichen felt Ji Zichen's gaze, turned his head, and his eyes flashed

Before entering the Thousand Needles Canyon from south to north, you must first pass a towering mountain called Jianyun Mountain. As you head north, the weather gradually turns colder. At first, the road is wide, with towering pine and spruce trees on both sides. The sea of ​​clouds stretches for thousands of miles, and the name Jianyun Mountain comes from this.

On the Jianyun Mountain, there are bright red cherries, purple lilacs, pink almonds, and various unique and beautiful shrubs scattered throughout the valleys and gullies. The colorful layers of forests complement the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, the small bridges and the flowing water, creating an extremely beautiful scenery.

After advancing seventy or eighty miles in one breath, the scenery in front of us suddenly changed. The forest became denser and denser, the rocks became steeper and steeper, and the valleys were full of scattered gravel, some large and some small, abrupt and rugged.

Most of Shi Yan's team members were unable to practice cultivation. Without the support of spiritual power, they could not travel long distances, so they only had a group of ordinary horses. Ordinary horses are a type of horse that has not yet become spiritual beasts. Although they cannot be compared with spiritual beasts, they are extremely patient animals for walking among ordinary beasts. Shi Yan's trip was secretive, so he could not purchase a large number of spiritual beasts, so he only had this group of ordinary horses. However, when the road reached this place, the ordinary horses stepped on the stones, kept slipping and sinking, and could not be ridden at all. Everyone had no choice but to turn over and pull the reins to lead the horses forward. The speed suddenly slowed down a lot.

Shi Yan and others were at the front of the team. They did not ride on spirit beasts, but walked with them.

"Shi Yan, everyone is tired, why don't we find a place to rest!" Ye Yier suggested.

Shi Yan turned around, looked at the sweaty crowd, and nodded.

I heard the sound of running water. I looked up and saw a clear stream flowing slowly not far away, flowing over the thick grass, washing out a shallow ditch in the jungle, and a few pale white pebbles settled in the water.

Shi Yan pointed to the stream and said, "Let's rest there!" He turned around and said to the Shan Mei team, "Sui'an, Zhu Xie, the two of you go ahead and explore to make sure the road ahead is safe."

Two capable men came out from the crowd and said, "Yes, sir!"

He took out a gem, and gently pressed the magic formula. A purple light flashed, and two elegant mountain spirits appeared in front of them. Their minds were connected, and their blood was connected, like an alternative contract. They felt their feet loosen up, and their bodies became more flexible, and they followed the mountain spirits and disappeared into the woods.

Shi Yan looked at all this and nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that they have already mastered the use of it, but the summoning speed is still a little slow. It would be better if it could be faster and reach the point where they can summon it at will."

Summoning a spirit beast before the opponent summons his own spirit can give him a huge advantage and determine the outcome of a battle. So Shi Yan hoped that they could release the seal instantly, but for now, it was still not enough.

Several war horses were resting deep in the woods, stretching their necks and lowering their heads to drink the clear stream water. It was unusually quiet.

After a cup of tea, Sui An and Zhu Xie came back and said, "There is nothing unusual ahead."

"But we saw a canyon ahead, and there is a lake under the canyon!"

"Canyon? It's the Thousand Needles Canyon!" To be honest, Shi Yan, like them, was walking this route for the first time.

The huge lake is located between several towering peaks of Jianyun Mountain, with cliffs and bamboo shoots like knife-cut bamboo shoots rising straight into the sky. This pool of lake water is in the middle, covering an area of ​​more than dozens of acres, just like a spring falling from the sky, clean and quiet, without a trace of worldly dust. The clear lake water ripples, reflecting the shadows of people, and a few small underground springs not far away are spewing hot air, and the smoke is curling, and it seems a little closer to the sky.

Ten thousand years of water alluvial deposits have formed a majestic canyon between the peaks, with gravel everywhere and difficult to walk. This is the entrance to the Thousand Needles Canyon.

The lake water flows slowly along the canyon, gently hitting the rocks on the shore in the breeze, making a soft sound, as if it were a poem of harmony and tranquility.

As we walked further and crossed the lake, the canyon below us became terrifying.

He looked up and saw the clouds and mists below him, which were so deep that he could not see the bottom. On the other side, there was a towering mountain thirty feet away, which went straight into the clouds and reached the sky. He saw the water from the Yunshan Lake rushing here. It fell vertically, forming a beautiful waterfall straight to the sky, and the sound of the rushing water hitting the rocks was very crisp.

Shi Yan looked down and frowned. So this was the Thousand Needles Canyon. No wonder so few people took this road. Not to mention the Yunshen Canyon, even the Thousand Needles Canyon was not so easy to pass.

"What's so good about this?" Xu Zuoxian shook his head and said, "It's just a big cliff."

"No." Shi Yan said: "It's not this cliff, look, look far away"

Everyone looked over and saw that the walls of the Thousand Needles Canyon were covered with sharp ridges, like sharp flying swords. Deep inside, there was a misty area with a faint light flickering. That was the Domain Gate!

No, this is not a domain barrier, it's just a crack in the domain barrier.

"Look, that's where we're going to pass!"

"But how do we get there?" Ye Yier asked.
