Chapter 1309: First Encounter in Paradise
The Xuanhuang World-Destroying Changes are the various extreme changes that naturally occur in order to protect the Xuanhuang Realm when it senses its impending destruction.
They are all beings that have evolved one aspect to the extreme.
For example, the [Heaven and Earth Heat Silent, All Things Frozen] transformation that Li Fan used to disguise himself as a Hedao cultivator in his previous life was not weaker than the ordinary ice-type heaven and earth spirits in the Xuanhuang Realm, and was even stronger than most of them.
The change of world destruction is often full of aggression and destructiveness. Since it is usually born only when the Xuanhuang Realm is in danger of destruction, when it appears between heaven and earth, it will definitely cause a stress response from the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao. The consequence is that the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao will instinctively be wary and distrustful of the holder of the change of world destruction, just like Li Fan is now.
The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, which absorbed its own evil thoughts of separation, underwent changes similar to the infusion of immortal power and comprehensive recovery. However, the changes were specifically manifested in the cornerstone of the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Not to mention the changes in Nili Changsheng for now, the various restrictions on cultivators in Xuanhuang Realm have become more stringent as Xuanhuang Realm recovers from its internal state.
The bottleneck of Heaven’s Disaster, the Dharma cannot be practiced together, and the strange phenomenon that appeared in the sky after the fall.
These laws that are closely related to the practice of monks are changing rapidly and silently.
It will be more difficult for monks to break through; after their death, the strange phenomena in the sky will record more information about the monks during their lifetime; the criteria for judging different methods will also become more stringent, and the total number of methods in the world will be inexplicably reduced.
In addition, Li Fan also vaguely realized that the efficiency of Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth in absorbing and transforming the fallen cultivators and returning their Tao foundation and world fragments was gradually increasing with the strengthening of His inner self.
A faint sound like the sound of digestion could be heard between heaven and earth, which was difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect.
In the Xuanhuang Realm, cultivators practiced by devouring the heavens and the earth. The sudden expansion of the power of the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth would also surely drive the rapid growth of the strength of the cultivators within it.
The foundation-building stage fights the golden elixir stage, and the golden elixir stage defeats the primordial infant stage. In the near future, this may become a normal situation.
Those monks who have gone ahead want to get out of this predicament, they either have to start over or find a way to break through to a higher realm as soon as possible.
Otherwise, these cultivators who have not "grown" together with the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth will soon become eliminated by the times.
…
Li Fan saw all the dramatic changes in the world in the Xuanhuang Realm, but he just watched carefully and did not extract anything. Although the growth strength of the Xuanhuang Realm was far from meeting Li Fan's requirements, it was enough to inspire Li Fan.
"This is the change of [Tao]. Those who follow the Tao will live, and those who lose the Tao will die. The Xuanhuang Realm is like this, the Darkest Starry Sea is like this, and perhaps the Immortal Realm back then was also like this." Li Fan thought to himself.
He recalled what happened to Sun Jilang in the illusion of the true fruit in his previous life.
"I don't know, what will they gain from going to the land of happiness in this life?"
Inside the discussion platform, the silver-white eyes moved slightly, and the images of Sun Erlang and the other two suddenly appeared in them.
Although they were only Jindan perfect cultivators, they were fortunate to have been taught the Great Dao by the Saint Master. In their eyes, the protective formations of both the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association were useless.
They drove straight in, passed through the [Heavenly Realm of Humanity], and finally reached the so-called land of worry-free bliss.
At first glance, it seems to be no different from other areas in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Yue Zhenwei was the oldest among the three. He looked around, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Are there fewer people here than in other places of the Five Elders Association?"
Sun Erlang nodded: "Indeed. And they all look listless. No matter how you look at it, they don't seem to have anything to do with the word 'worry-free'."
Wang Xuanba said nonchalantly, "Who cares? Isn't the purpose of our coming here to search for the cave world needed to break through the Nascent Soul Realm? Naturally, the fewer people there are, the better!"
Sun and Yue also thought it made sense. One should do things according to one's ability. The secret of Worry-free Paradise was naturally not something that small Jindan cultivators like them could find out.
He continued to hide his tracks and used the secret techniques taught by the Saint Master to search for traces of the cave in the Worry-Free Land.
However……
Ten days passed and nothing was achieved.
The faces of the three people turned a little ugly.
"It's impossible. We have almost visited all over Qiuxi Prefecture, but we haven't found a single cave?" Wang Xuanba was full of disbelief.
"Either there's something wrong with the Saint Master's secret technique. Or..." Yue Zhenwei's face didn't look any better either.
Sun Erlang continued, "I'm afraid there is no cave in this Worry-Free Land. In other words, what we see now is not the real Worry-Free Land, but just an empty shell. The legendary dreamland is where it is."
"What should we do next?" Wang Xuanba scratched his head. "We can't enter the dream to steal things, right? Why don't we go back to the [Human Heaven Realm] to have a look. Although the security there is stricter, the territory is also larger. As long as we are careful, it shouldn't be a problem to borrow a few caves."
Sun and Yue both nodded.
The three of them quickly reached a consensus and decided to leave the Land of Worry-Freeness.
But what made them feel inexplicably horrified was that although they were returning along the same route they came, the scene they saw was different when they reached the border of the Land of Worry-Free Paradise.
The white fog barrier that stretched across the sky and earth and served as the natural dividing line of the state disappeared, and what appeared before the three people was an endless desert with no end in sight.
"this……"
The three of them stood on the edge of the desert, looking at the yellow sand from afar and rubbing it in their hands.
"Really." Sun Erlang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
Wang Xuanba was still a little skeptical, so he stepped down and fell into the quicksand: "How could this happen? We were fine when we came here, but suddenly we can't go back? We are not lost!"
“I’m afraid that we have unknowingly entered the real dreamland of [The Paradise].” Yue Zhenwei was the calmest among the three.
He looked out into the distance at the desert, but found no signs of any living creature in it.
"It's better not to venture into this desert. Try another direction."
The three of them crossed Qiuxi Province again, and on the other side of the border, they saw a completely different scene.
The rumbling water fell from the sky. The moment it landed in the autumn stream, it turned into light and shadow bubbles and disappeared without a trace.
Not far away, there is a water world hanging high in the sky.
Not only are there many living creatures swimming around in it, but you can even vaguely see many underwater buildings on display.
"How about we try here? We can't get out now anyway." Wang Xuanba suggested.
"Let's take another look." Yue Zhenwei observed carefully and found that although there was life in this water world, the main body of civilization that built the underwater buildings were some wriggling octopuses.
They seem to have their own language and writing, and rule this underwater world.
But they had no idea that Sun Erlang and the other two were just a hair's breadth away and were observing them attentively. It was as if they were in a different world.
After temporarily leaving the water world, the three of them continued searching along the border of Qiuxi State.
Finally, in the southwest corner, we discovered the third bordering state.
Not far away in the state, there stands a huge rock on the seashore.
It was exactly the same as the Xuanhuang Boundary Stone they had seen before, the huge rock on the beach of Linzhou.
"Great! We finally found a way out!" Wang Xuanba couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Just as he was about to rush over, he was stopped by Sun Erlang.
"Be careful! Something doesn't look right!"
As Sun Erlang spoke, two figures appeared, one in front and one behind, above the huge rocks on the seashore.
The former looked disheveled and seemed to be seriously injured.
The figure chasing behind was obviously faster than the former, but it seemed to enjoy the thrill of hunting, and kept the distance between the two parties, making the former fleeing have the illusion that he could escape if he tried harder, but in fact he could not get rid of it at all.
If it was a normal chase, the three of them would not be too surprised. However, the one chasing the human monks who were fleeing in panic was actually a demon with a human body and a dog's head!
When the human monks were about to flee Shilinzhou and head for Congyunhai in a hurry, the dog-headed monster finally became impatient and took the initiative to end the hunting game.
The hand turned back into a dog's claw, clamping the human monk tightly. Looking at the desperate and painful expression of the human in the screams, the dog-headed monster laughed.
Then he opened his mouth with satisfaction and was about to swallow the human monk.
"Evil creature! Stop!" Wang Xuanba was a hot-blooded young man, so how could he possibly watch this cannibalistic scene happening in front of him?
Before Sun and Yue could stop it, a gray-white giant axe exuding an ancient atmosphere broke through the boundary between two different territories and came in front of the dog-headed monster.
However, the dog-headed monster seemed to be well prepared.
A ferocious and excited look flashed across his eyes, and he casually threw the human monk's delicious food aside.
He even ignored the gray giant axe that was about to chop down on his head and rushed straight towards Wang Xuanba and the other two.
As the dog-headed monster moved, the Xuanhuangshi Linzhou where it was located also expanded in a synchronous manner. It instantly swallowed up the territory of Qiuxizhou and immediately enveloped Sun Erlang and the other two!
As if a dream had come true, the world of the dog-headed monster merged with the world of Sun Erlang and the other two!
bite!
Wang Xuanba's gray-white giant axe chopped at the back of the dog-headed monster's neck, but it only made a sound of metal clashing! The full-strength blow that was enough to split a mountain didn't even cut the dog-headed monster's skin!
Wang Xuanba snorted coldly, but he was not afraid at all: "Do you think your grandfather's axe is just sharp? How can you rely on your strong body to block it? A beast is a beast!"
The dog-headed monster seemed to understand Wang Xuanba's words, and its face changed slightly. At this time, it discovered a very obvious gray scar, emerging from the back of the neck. Then the gray quickly spread upwards, directly swallowing the monster's dog head.
After a moment, the gray head floated in the air like dust.
"careful!"
The voices of Yue Zhenwei and Sun Erlang sounded at the same time.
However, just as Wang Xuanba was feeling smug, the dog-headed monster that had lost its head began to move again.
His figure flashed and he already appeared in front of Wang Xuanba.
The dog's claws turned into a black light and instantly pierced Wang Xuanba's heart.
"Xuan Ba!" Sun Erlang was furious.
A knife filled with evil spirit arrived late, stirring up endless black wind and directly engulfing the dog-headed monster.
But a moment later, the flesh and blood of the dog-headed monster was completely blown away by the black wind, leaving only a pile of white bones.
But there was an unusual golden light emanating from these white bones.
“No…” Yue Zhenwei’s expression changed slightly, but he was unaware that a figure was quietly approaching from behind him.
It was actually the human monk that the dog-headed monster had been chasing before!
There was a hint of mockery on his lips, and he looked at Yue Zhenwei with greed in his eyes. His aura exploded, but how could he look injured at all?
Its neck suddenly stretched out, and its head flew out, swallowing Yue Zhenwei's head into its stomach in one bite.
Poor Yue Zhenwei's attention was all on the dog-headed monster and Sun Erlang. He was ambushed and caught off guard, and died!
"Ahhhhhh! You deserve to die!" Sun Erlang's eyes turned bloodshot as his two companions were killed one after another.
Veins popped out and a black aura enveloped his entire body.
His pupils were completely submerged in black, but Sun Erlang didn't care and flew straight towards the long-necked monster.
Unexpectedly, he was held tightly by the golden bones behind him.
The golden bones locked tightly together while making strange laughter.
"This trick works really well. It always catches a few idiots."
Sun Erlang became more and more furious.
"ah!"
The roar resounded throughout the heaven and earth.
A black storm suddenly erupted from his dantian.
It is several times more terrifying than the one in the black knife before.
Directly swallowed the golden bones that were still roaring.
"Damn it! What the hell is this..."
Before he could finish his words, the golden bones and Sun Erlang disappeared into the black storm.
However, the long-necked monster had no intention of going forward to rescue.
While watching with relish, he was also chewing Yue Zhenwei's body.
Soon after, the black storm completely dissipated.
The corpses of Yue Zhenwei and Wang Xuanba also became food for the long-necked monster.
…
"ah!"
Sun Erlang and the other two were suddenly awakened from their nightmare.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and it took him a long time to wake up from the horrific experience.
"I'm dead?"
"I'm not dead?!" Wang Xuanba said in shock.
Sun Erlang fell into deep thought.
Yue Zhenwei was still the first to calm down and observe his surroundings.
"It seems to be the Qiuxi State of the Five Elders Association where we were trapped before."
"but……"
Yue Zhenwei looked up at the sky: "The whole world seems to have become a little darker?" he said uncertainly.
"It's not an illusion. The world we live in really does seem to have darkened." Sun Erlang observed for a while and agreed.
"But our realm hasn't changed... Wait, what is this?!"
Sun Erlang's voice suddenly rose several degrees.
"Sun Erlang, Golden Elixir is complete, number of deaths: 1."
"Elysian experience level: 1."
"Worry-free Coin: 100."
Sun Erlang read out the lines of small characters that inexplicably appeared before his eyes, his expression shocked.
"I have it too." Wang Xuanba also discovered something and said loudly.
"Wait, that's not right! Why is my Worry-Free Coin zero?"
"Where did you get the hundred?" Wang Xuanba asked in confusion.
7K tomorrow. I changed my coding environment in the past two days and it takes time to adapt.
