"A strange place?!"
This was the first time Xiang Sheng heard this term, but for some reason, his intuition told him that this was related to the existence of the incense hall.
"Yes, it is a strange place."
The Great Elder sighed, "This is a natural disaster that has occurred in recent years. It is even more terrifying and strange than the invasion of the Earth Demons.
A strange land is an area shrouded in a strange white mist, appearing at random times and locations. Currently, three large strange lands have taken root throughout East Continent and are expanding. The five major sects, joined by many fellow practitioners, are facing immense challenges in resisting them.
A strange place that expands and spreads on its own?
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "Great Elder, this sounds somewhat similar to Guijian."
"You girl, you actually know about Ghost Gorge?"
The Great Elder was astonished, but when he thought about how Xiang Sheng had been spending the past year in the Sutra Library, he felt it was normal and nodded, saying, "It is indeed somewhat similar, but the speed at which the strange land is spreading and the danger is far greater than that of Ghost Gorge.
Ghost Stream is still contained by an ancient seal and is subject to the Black Tide. So far, only the Tianyan Sect's territory has suffered losses at the hands of the Ghost Stream branch, and other territories are not in danger."
The Great Elder raised his head and looked beyond the cliff, his voice filled with worry. "If this strange land is not brought under control in time, it will greedily devour all places and turn the entire East Continent into a living hell!"
Xiang Sheng thought of Xiang Jianjue who had been hurriedly summoned down the mountain, and suddenly understood what was going on. He continued to ask, "How can we control that strange place?"
The Great Elder withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Xiang Sheng, a smile on his face: "I heard from your senior brother that when he was taking you back to the sect, he happened to run into someone from the Incense Hall. Is this true?"
It really is the incense hall!
A sharp look flashed across Xiang Sheng's eyes. Lin Hai clearly hated the Incense Hall, but he was tolerant of it. It turned out that the problem lay with the strange land.
"The power of incense can curb the spread of the strange land."
The Great Elder revealed the answer without waiting for Xiang Sheng to nod. "This matter was accidentally discovered by the Tianqing Pavilion several years ago. After the five major sects discussed it, countless temples dedicated to Lady Sheng Ji appeared in the secular world of Dongzhou."
At this point, the Great Elder suddenly thought of something and quickly explained, "Sheng'er, although the Temple of Lady Shengji was built by humans, her deeds are real and not false. She is well-deserved of the world's faith. Don't harbor any grudges against her."
Xiang Sheng pursed his lips slightly, "Of course not."
She had no habit of believing in herself.
"That's good."
The Great Elder patted Xiang Sheng's shoulder gently and smiled bitterly: "If Empress Sheng Ji were still alive, perhaps we could deal with the strange place without the incense hall."
Xiang Sheng's mind was so sharp that he immediately understood the meaning and asked, "Elder, are you talking about... sword intent?"
"You little girl, you also know the meaning of sword?"
The Great Elder was truly shocked this time. There wasn't a single book in the Sutra Library that recorded the sword intent. How did Xiang Sheng know about it?
"I heard Senior Brother Xiang Jianjue mention it by accident."
Xiang Sheng casually explained, "I just don't know why this sword intent can deal with the strange land?"
Why does Jian Jue, this brat, say all sorts of nonsense? Isn't he afraid of ruining the foundation of his fellow junior brothers and sisters?
The Great Elder secretly scolded him, but he did not forget to reply: "The strange white mist is invisible and formless, and it can disturb people's minds. It is extremely terrifying and it is difficult for ordinary true energy to break it.
According to legend, the sword's sharpness is unparalleled, capable of eliminating all illusions in the world and severing one's own chaotic thoughts, allowing the sword cultivator to maintain a constant state of calm, entering and exiting strange places as if they were in an empty space!
At this point, the Great Elder sighed again, "If only Dongzhou could produce another sword cultivator who could comprehend the sword intent, the matter of the mysterious land would be much easier to handle."
The sword energy was sharp, which Xiang Sheng had known long ago in Siji City, but he didn't know that it could also be used to cut off his own emotions.
The sword's meaning is profound. She has devoted herself to practicing it for the past year, but has only figured out some basic uses and doesn't know how to go further.
The Great Elder is not a sword cultivator, but he knows all this... There are sword classics hidden in the Wanjian Sect!
Xiang Sheng didn't rush to ask where the tome was. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Great Elder, has a mysterious place appeared near the sect?"
The Great Elder's expression changed instantly. "This is top secret. Who told you?"
"No one told."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly, "It's just that seeing Senior Brother Jian Jue leaving in a hurry, and seeing you, the elder, looking worried, I have some guesses."
"Can you guess based on just this?"
The Great Elder was stunned. At that moment, he had the illusion that his mind was being crushed by an eleven-year-old child.
