Chapter 449: Withered Land
Controlling some of the authority of the Spiritual World Master was not necessary for Chen Zhixing, because he had already set his sights on immortality.
But if he could have a guarantee of Taoist authority while he was alive, Chen Zhixing would not mind doing so.
"The old man can only keep himself ablaze for about five minutes. I think other people at the top level are not much stronger. So, even if I catch all the top monks in Dongxuanzhou and ignite them, it will be difficult to gather enough time for me to comprehend. So, what I need to do next is to imprison a Changsheng Zhenjun?"
Uh, Chen Zhixing thought this idea was a bit far-fetched.
On the one hand, he didn't know many Immortal Lords, and they were all from the three major holy places. In terms of strength, there was not a single one below the third sequence. Even the weakest Bai Yu was probably at the third or fourth sequence.
If you want to capture such a being alive, you have to force it to exhaust its own lifespan, and then be set on fire by the beings in the spiritual world for you to see.
"Well, let's not think about the people from the three holy places. Even if I can catch them, I think given the relationship between these guys' sects and the Taoist masters of the spiritual world, they won't be ignited. I guess even if they die, there is a place waiting for them in the spiritual world."
Chen Zhixing shrugged.
Since the three holy places have no solution, they can only set their sights on those who are from aristocratic families and have reached the realm of immortality, or on the independent cultivators.
Then, "Among the existing noble families in Dongxuanzhou, are there any living people in the realm of immortality?"
Chen Zhixing doesn’t know!
This kind of thing, let alone him, except for the family that has the realm of immortality itself, even the three holy places may not know it! Because this is a major event that touches the foundation of a family's existence, outsiders cannot know it through any channels, and the family that has the realm of immortality will not want others to know about it.
However, if you are really willing to explore carefully, you will always find the answer by spending dozens or even hundreds of years.
Chen Zhixing didn't have that much free time, so he could only set his sights on the independent cultivators.
"For independent cultivators, the black turtle in the North Sea counts as one, and the ancient tree in the withered plains counts as one, and then..."
That’s all.
The smile on Chen Zhixing's face froze! Of course, it's not that there are so few immortals in the world, but there are only two immortals whose locations can be confirmed in Dongxuanzhou!
The immortals are not fools. How could they stay in a certain place in Dongxuanzhou for a long time when they know that they will be targeted by the three holy places? After achieving immortality, they can either establish an immortal family, escape overseas, or join the three holy places. There is no fourth choice!
Except for the ones that cannot be moved. "Okay, that black turtle must also be ruled out, because it is not native to Dongxuanzhou, but an immortal monster on the side of the North Sea close to Dongxuanzhou. It has roots. If we really choose it, I am afraid that it will provoke a full-scale attack from the giant monsters in the North Sea, and it may even provoke the forbidden existence of Beijuluzhou."
Chen Zhixing no longer feels that he is invincible.
Provoking trouble is causing trouble, revenge is revenge, and hunting is hunting. It is impossible to confuse the two.
Just like before when he targeted Daluo Daodi and caused such a big trouble, but in fact he only caused some trouble to Daluo Daodi, and he only managed to do this with the help of the Sky Fox.
In a sense, this is like a monkey trying to reach the palace of heaven.
In the eyes of many onlookers, Chen Zhixing is just an angry monkey! It's not that no one can handle it, but everyone is just watching the fun.
When they really felt there was danger, the Tiansheng Palace immediately dealt with the celestial fox, leaving it with almost no chance of resistance.
So, is Yimiao Zhenjun the Lord of Heaven? No.
At most, she can be regarded as the commander of the South Heaven Gate. Behind her are the Six Emperors, the Five Elders, the Four Imperial Gods, the Three Pure Ones, and other big guys who are there to watch the show!
In comparison, Huayu Xianzun, who is also the lord of a holy land, is almost at the level of the Five Elders.
This is a status brought about by hard power and has little to do with the so-called political rule.
"So, I only have one choice. I have to go to the Western Regions and order that ancient tree?"
Thinking of this answer, Chen Zhixing felt a toothache.
Because this tree is related to Yi Miao Zhen Jun, to be precise, Black Bodhi is basically equivalent to Yi Miao Zhen Jun being "reborn" from that ancient tree, and that ancient tree was the goal that the Sala Kingdom wanted to achieve through "sacrifice" at the beginning.
Yes, that Borneo kingdom succeeded!
Although his end was extremely tragic, his purpose was achieved. However, the "essence" of the sacrifice was taken away by Yi Miao and turned into a black bodhi, and the remaining part turned into an ancient tree that was completely a monster.
But it is also a realm of immortality!
It is just an ancient tree of immortality that is treated similarly to the Immortal True Lord produced by the Immortal Family. It has no development potential at all. And because it cannot move and has the instinct to absorb all nutrients around it without restraint, it finally drained the land that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Borneo and turned it into the wasteland it is today, which is a withered plain full of yellow sand.
"Well, to put it another way, the tree is a leek that can be harvested continuously and given to some beings in the spirit world by Master Yi Miao. Once the spirit world cuts it, it will suffer a loss of spiritual power. The tree will then absorb nutrients from the Western Region to restore itself due to its recovery instinct. When it has almost recovered, the spirit world will cut it again, and this cycle will repeat until there is nothing left to absorb."
miserable.
After a brief thought, Chen Zhixing felt that even if he left it alone, the tree would not last long, because the immortal state of that thing was originally sacrificed to be harvested by humans. Now that it has been harvested for so long, turning a good kingdom into a desert, it is time for it to die.
Western Regions.
Ganzhou.
Contrary to the impression of some other continents that this is just a vast expanse of yellow sand, this is actually a beautiful place with mountains, lakes, forests and streams.
Although it is not as beautiful as the Dongzhou, nor as bustling as the Southern Region, but compared to the wilderness of the Northern Region, this place is indeed a good place for ordinary people to live!
Why is it suitable for ordinary people?
Because there are not many rest resources!
Why not compare with Zhongzhou? There is no comparison! Now several large states in Zhongzhou are almost in ruins. Even if the Taoist master of the spiritual world took action to quell the disaster caused by the previous volcanic eruption, the aftermath of the disaster is real, because those who died in the disaster cannot be resurrected.
If the Central Region previously ranked second among the five regions, just below the Eastern Region, then in the next hundred years it would fall behind the Western Region, which was originally ranked fourth, and would be only slightly better than the more desolate Northern Region.
Falling from the second to the fourth, you can imagine how much sin Chen Zhixing had committed before. Then if you scroll up again, you will find that the last person who committed such a sin was the Holy Lord Yi Miao of Daluo Daodi himself!!! It was this Holy Lord who turned Xizhou, where the Kingdom of Borneo was originally located, the most prosperous continent in the Western Regions, into the withered plains of today.
Mountains and rivers collapsed, and great lakes dried up.
All living beings are sacrificed in blood, and the grass and trees are turned to ashes!
Ganzhou is right on the border of Xizhou and belongs to the part of the Western Region close to Zhongzhou. It has become prosperous today because it has absorbed the spiritual charm of Xizhou over the past two hundred years.
So is the population!
Although Ganzhou has a small population, at most only a little over two million, which is even less than the population of a county in some states in the Southern Region, you have to know that one hundred and seventy years ago, the population of this continent was only two or three hundred thousand!
Because there are very few cultivation resources in this place, and it is too close to the resource-rich Xizhou. If Xizhou does not boast, Ganzhou without resources will not be able to develop at all, and can only serve as a barrier between Xizhou and the Central Region.
Now that Xizhou has turned into a withered plain, this problem naturally no longer exists.
However, there are few resources for cultivation, and what is produced are only worthless wood, stones and other flashy things. Naturally, no cultivators are willing to settle here.
It cannot be said that there is no one here, it can only be said that only cultivators who cannot make it in other continents will come here to live. In the words of some noble families in the southern region, "the whole of that broken place cannot even support a noble family, so what's the point of taking it?"
Very real.
The resources of Ganzhou alone could not support one aristocratic family, while Qingzhou, which was of similar size to Nanyu, supported as many as eight or seven aristocratic families!
There is even plenty of it . At this point, one can imagine how poor Ganzhou's cultivation resources are.
Of course, poverty is poverty, but it is not nothing.
The absence of aristocratic families does not prevent some small sects from taking root here. Well, these are the ones that find it difficult to even cultivate into the True Self. The entire sect may have only one Nirvana Realm master to keep up appearances.
The Iron Sword Sect is such a sect.
As for similar sects, how many are there in Ganzhou?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Tiejianmen ranks third in Ganzhou!
The sect leader, Tian Jian Lao Ren, is a well-known "Sword God" in Ganzhou! And today, when Chen Zhixing arrived at the "Tian Duan Mountains" where the Tie Jian Sect is located, it was the 800th birthday of Tian Jian Lao Ren in the Tie Jian Sect. The Tie Jian Sect is located on one side of the Tian Duan Mountains. Beyond this mountain is the famous Withered Plains.
No output, no special products.
Chen Zhixing asked around in the "Wrongful Death City" under the Tianduan Mountain and found out that the most valuable cultivation resources in the area under the jurisdiction of the Iron Sword Sect were actually two large iron mines that could produce a small amount of iron essence. "So, why did Master want me to come to this Iron Sword Sect? And to celebrate the birthday of that damn Iron Sword Sect Master?"
Shi Hao walked among the crowd on the staggering stairs, and he never figured out what this was all about.
A man who has no money and no people. In the entire sect, there is only one 800-year-old Nirvana Realm master, and he is a Nirvana Realm 2 master who is about to die of old age. Why would such a guy be related to his master?
Logically speaking, any secret guard picked out from Ziwei Mountain is much stronger than this crappy Tianjian old man!
Shi Hao felt unlucky when he thought about celebrating the birthday of such a "waste". He was still in the Northern Territory with his senior brothers and junior brothers in the cave a week ago, but when his master showed up, he dragged him out of the newly built "nest" in the cave without saying a word! He just broke through Nirvana! He hasn't gone to seek revenge on the fire dragon! The trial was agreed to be two months, why did he end it early! And then he was thrown into such a hellhole! Shi Hao's dissatisfaction was only in his heart, and his face was still a polite boy.
And he is the kind of 'rich young man' who can be recognized by Ganzhou practitioners at a glance.
no way.
This time they were in a hurry, and after capturing him in the Tianduan Mountains, Chen Zhixing just threw a set of magic tools at him, and the magic tools included a storage bracelet filled with spirit stones.
There were twelve magical instruments, from the hairpin on the head to the boots on the feet, as well as the lining of clothes and pants, rings, jade pendants, and a series of other bracelets. Except for the bracelet which was somewhat useful for storage, Shi Hao felt that the others could only cover up his shame.
What else?
The defensive effect of the Nirvana robe he was wearing was not even as thick as his skin. It provided absolutely no protection at all.
Shi Hao even felt that the set of magic weapons he had on him now was not as good as the layer of fire dragon shed skin he wore when he was in the Northern Territory Caverns! But there was nothing he could do, because this outfit looked good. Mountaineering.
waiting.
Send a visiting card.
Give gifts.
Roll call.
Come in and get some free food!
After finally getting into the Iron Sword Sect, the third largest sect in Ganzhou, and seeing the level of cultivation of the guests in this courtyard, Shi Hao really felt despair about the mission assigned to him by his master.
In a courtyard with thousands of people, the three in the True Self Realm have the highest cultivation!
This is actually an elite monk from Ganzhou!!!
Do they deserve it?
"Master Huang, hahaha, Master Huang, long time no see, how is your son?"
"Hey, it's Master Li. You've come to celebrate the birthday of the Sword God this time too. Hahahaha, the old Sword God is so generous. I celebrated my 300th birthday last time."
"Look, isn't that Venerable Mara? Why is he here too?"
"It's really Venerable Mara!"
"I remember that the last time Venerable Moro challenged the Sword God was only ten years ago. Since he dared to come to Tianjianmen today, could it be that he has made a breakthrough in his cultivation?"
"So, Venerable Moro is probably at the seventh level of Zhenwu?"
"I remember that he is only over 200 years old now, but he has already reached the seventh level of Zhenwu? This means there is hope for Nirvana! There is hope for Nirvana!"
"Moro is indeed a man of natural talent. It took him only ten years to break through a realm."
"It seems that within a hundred years, Ganzhou will be able to fill in a new body. This time, Moro is really expected to take over the position of the old Sword God!"
"It's hard to say. The threshold to Nirvana is so high. In my opinion, it would be difficult for Moro to break through Nirvana in a world of less than a hundred years."
"That's right. Back then, the Sword God also broke through to the Perfection of the True Self before he was 200 years old. It took him another 50 years to finally break through the Nirvana Gate and become the Sword God he is today."
"Yes, the Nirvana Gate. For cultivators like us, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. I wonder if Moro has any hope in this lifetime given his talent."
"And the calamity that comes later"
“.”
Marvel and admire.
And that damn Nirvana Gate!
Shi Hao's scalp was numb from hearing these strange noises all around! His toes were cramping! A 200-year-old Shingo seventh level person was actually called a genius? Then what about him? What about his junior brother who was born with the Shingo physique? (End of this chapter)
