In a moment, the man turned and ran.
"Hey wait a minute!"
Xu Qiuqian hurriedly chased after him, but the surrounding environment made her stop.
This is indeed not the altar of Jinghong City.
What's going on?
Could it be that she guessed wrong? Xu Qiuqian walked outside the altar. This should be a village of 10,000 people. It was very large, and the people here all looked like mortals without spiritual power.
After walking two more steps forward, the person who had just left came running over with a group of people.
More and more people are running here.
These mortals couldn't hurt her, so Xu Qiuqian was just a little wary. She wanted to see what these people were going to do.
The next moment, the mortals in front of him knelt down one after another.
"It's a god. The god really appeared and came down to earth!"
“……”What the hell?
Xu Qiuqian was overwhelmed by these people's actions.
She never expected this to be the result.
More and more people came over here and knelt down and kowtowed to her without saying a word.
Seeing more and more people coming, Xu Qiuqian said, "Hurry up and get up."
In order to prevent those at the back from not being able to hear because of the crowd, she used a microphone to let the sound reach everyone's ears.
And this behavior is regarded as a miracle by mortals.
It was not until Xu Qiuqian exuded some aura and directly ordered them to get up that these mortals stood up, lowered their heads nervously, and did not dare to look at her.
"Who is the village chief here?"
A white-haired, hunchbacked old man stood up and was about to kneel down again. Xu Qiuqian used his spiritual power to support him.
"I'm going to ask you some questions and you can answer them truthfully."
The old man responded tremblingly.
Later, Xu Qiuqian learned the whole story.
It turns out that a thousand years ago, a group of refugees were rescued by an immortal, who settled them here and told them not to leave no matter what happened, waiting for the immortal to descend from the altar.
So these refugees were very obedient and settled down with the altar as the center.
Generation after generation, this village of tens of thousands of people was eventually formed.
The village chief originally thought that he would not be able to wait for the immortal to descend, but he actually waited for it! Xu Qiuqian sneered after hearing this.
I see.
That immortal was probably sent by the Void. The reason why he said that was so that the altar could provide souls when they were needed. As for the landing of a god, it was just a casual remark.
She knew without any guessing that there must be many similar situations.
"Then don't you want to go outside and take a look?"
Xu Qiuqian strolled in the village. All the villagers were sent away by her, but many villagers still followed her.
Logically speaking, this is the world of immortals. Even if a dozen of these villagers went out, they should know that there are immortals in this world. As for the landing of the immortals mentioned by that person, it is impossible for it to exist at all.
"The immortal said that it's very dangerous outside, so he set up a barrier outside our village to protect us."
barrier?
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but think of the barrier in Jinghong City that only allowed people to enter but not leave. Could it be that the barrier here is the same as the barrier in Jinghong City? If so, then this place is likely to belong to the same continent as Jinghong City.
"Where does the barrier end?"
"Just go over the mountain." The village chief answered respectfully.
Looking at the village chief's trembling steps, it was estimated that the other party might not be able to take a few steps.
He casually pointed to a little girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old in the crowd behind him and said, "Come with me. The village chief and the others should not follow me."
The little girl's eyes widened, unable to believe that the fairy had actually asked her to follow.
She came out, her heart pounding.
Xu Qiuqian took out the soft cloud bed, pulled the little girl on it, and quickly left everyone's sight.
A group of villagers were left stunned, then they knelt down and shouted "God".
"What's your name?"
"Er, Erya." Erya answered stutteringly.
"Arya, when you go back later, tell the village chief to take the villagers away from the altar. Don't get close to the altar. The altar is very dangerous. If you get close to it, you will die."
"I know." Arya replied, "Once you get close to that place, your soul will be gone. The villagers said that these people went to heaven to serve the gods, so many people want to serve the gods, but the village chief does not allow us to get close, saying that not everyone can serve the gods, and we have to choose the best ones to serve."
Xu Qiuqian felt angry.
"Who said that?"
"I don't know. It's been passed down from generation to generation. It's said that it was said by the immortal our ancestors saw."
Everyone wants to serve the gods, but she doesn't want that at all.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Qiuqian spoke again: "Don't let anyone get close to the altar, and don't need anyone to serve you. Got it?"
Arya nodded.
Since the gods have descended to earth, they naturally do not need to be served by others.
She looked at Xu Qiuqian cautiously, wanting to ask if the other party needed her service. She thought, if it was the immortal in front of her, she would be willing to serve! But the immortal's expression didn't seem good, so she didn't dare to say it.
When they arrived at the barrier, Xu Qiuqian handed Erya a pill.
"Eat it."
Erya ate it without hesitation and instantly felt a warm current and her whole body was filled with strength. Even the feeling of hunger seemed to disappear.
Xu Qiuqian took out another teleportation scroll and handed it to Erya.
"Tear open this scroll and think of where we just left off."
Arya took it obediently, thinking about the place she had just left while tearing open the scroll. In a blink of an eye, she returned to the place where the fairy had just taken her away. The villagers here had not left yet. When they saw Arya suddenly appear, they widened their eyes and then swarmed up.
Xu Qiuqian no longer cared about what happened in the village.
She first tried to touch the barrier, but was unable to take a single step forward. Even when she used spiritual power to attack, her spells were ineffective.
Then she used her divine power to walk out. The barrier seemed to be non-existent and she walked out easily.
So Xu Qiuqian knew that this barrier was likely to contain the power of the void, so she could only leave after activating the power.
But there was no way for others inside the barrier to leave.
No matter what level of cultivation you have, you can only stay inside the barrier and wait for death.
Xu Qiuqian sat back on the soft cloud bed and flew away with a heavy heart.
Only after she walked a long way did she understand why someone had deliberately brought refugees to that altar and left such words there, because that place was too remote, deep in the mountains and old forests, with thin spiritual energy, and it was impossible for cultivators to go there.
That's why I have to bring someone with me.
Seven days later, she finally saw the monks' market and learned that this continent was called Guiyang Continent.
Jinghong City is located in the west of Guiyang Continent, about a month away from her current location.
One month...
Xu Qiuqian's vision went dark.
Could it be that she would waste a whole month on the road? Xu Kong was really trying to trick her! Fortunately, the soft cloud bed was a magical weapon that could guarantee satisfactory speed as long as the spirit stones were sufficient.
He gritted his teeth, took out the top-grade spirit stone, and finally arrived at Jinghong City within seven days.
