Chapter 101
But it is conceivable that under such circumstances, only a few people are willing to buy a flying magic weapon.
Among them, there are those who have money but are reluctant to spend, those who want to buy but have no money, and so on. However, we have already done a lot for the survival of the people in the cultivation world, and we will not interfere any more.
By the time I finally had some free time, several months had already passed.
Most of the people in the cultivation world temporarily lived on the floating island.
In the case of the Tianyun Sword Sect, there are powerful people within the sect who hide the sect in the mustard seed space to ensure that it is not disturbed by natural disasters.
Since the floating island plan began to be implemented, Nan Xi has rarely been alone. Now that everything has come to an end, Nan Xi stood on the edge of the floating island and overlooked the land below.
In fact, when you look down from above, the ground is not necessarily devastated, but there is more exposed yellow soil and less green coverage, which is no longer as colorful as before.
But if you look closely, you can see the blood red faintly seeping out of the loess, as well as the ruins of human cities.
Even though they tried their best, half of the human race still disappeared in this natural disaster, and there were countless spirit beasts as well.
The spiritual energy on the floating island is not as good as that of the Tianyun Sword Sect. It was okay in the beginning, but there were too many people, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would not be produced on a man-made island, so even if a spirit gathering array was set up, there was still not much.
Nan Xi felt the wind from below and found it was extremely strong. If a strand of her hair stepped out of the edge of the floating island, it would be instantly blown upwards and then bounced back into the island.
Such a strong wind can barely stop people with low cultivation level.
Nan Xi looked at it for a while.
In fact, the colors below are not just yellow and green, there are some other colors as well. However, because they are scattered and mixed, from a distance they look like gray-black, gray-green, gray-red, and then mixed into gray, which does not look beautiful.
Nan Xi hadn't been watching for long when someone came to call her.
"Sister, it's time to go down."
When Nan Xi turned around, she saw Shi Ye standing not far behind her, with his wild eyebrows lowered, looking somewhat obedient.
Some time ago, Shi Ye had already broken through the Jindan stage. As his experience deepened, his features became more resolute. However, no matter how Nan Xi looked at him, she could not see the kind of admiration and attachment described in the plot.
However, as things have developed to this point, there are so many things that are different from the plot that Nan Xi never thought much about it.
She nodded and said, "Are you taking people down to look for food today as well?"
"Um."
Shi Ye has always been a man of few words, and it was the same now. Following Nan Xi's movements, he spontaneously walked a little behind Nan Xi and said, "I'll go with you today."
Nan Xi nodded again.
There are many people on the floating island, and it is impossible for so many people to live off the food, so the point system was moved here as usual. If low-level cultivators are willing to find food by themselves, they can sign up for a level, and then they will be led down by disciples from large sects or aristocratic families like Nan Xi.
There are many people going down each time, so it is naturally impossible for Nan Xi and others to protect everyone. They can only bring people to a slightly safer place. Whether they can find food or valuables afterwards depends on their own abilities.
It was the same today. Nan Xi brought the person to the place and then squatted aside, feeling bored.
She has made great contributions to the Tianyun Sword Sect, and she is one of the best among them. She can also practice fasting, so she doesn't need to fight for food. Therefore, she usually doesn't do anything else.
It just covers the surroundings with divine awareness and can take action in time when someone is in danger.
After squatting down, he looked at Shi Ye again and asked, "Do you have anything else to do today?"
Shi Ye worked extremely hard, and every time he came down, he was the one rushing to the front. His reputation for being fierce had spread a long time ago, and he was different from other disciples. But today, not only did he follow her down, he also stood with her, and it seemed that he didn't intend to do anything, which looked a bit strange.
Hearing this, Shi Ye nodded.
"Today we are going to the place where the formation is located. All disciples of the Tianyun Sword Sect must go."
After a pause, he said, "I want to go with my senior sister."
These words sounded familiar. Luo Tingyun had always said the same thing to her before. Nan Xi was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face.
"OK."
The formation refers to a floating formation that holds up the floating island. It has two ends, one on the floating island and the other on the ground. You can also just build a floating formation on the floating island, but such a formation cannot support such a large scale.
Although the formation master used a special method to prevent the formation on the ground from shifting easily, the current geographical conditions are chaotic, so people are still needed frequently to reinforce the formation.
At that time, it will require the joint efforts of many people to allow that part of the ground vein to circulate smoothly, and the formation master will then use the formation method to restrain it, so as to ensure that the floating formation is strong and will not be easily disturbed.
The trip to bring people down this time was also uneventful. Some people were injured, but none were seriously injured.
After Nan Xi and Shi Ye brought the people back, they went to the formation department.
When I arrived, I found that there were not only people from the Tianyun Sword Sect, but also people from other large and small sects, including the Yuxu Sect.
Qi Qian also gained a lot of attention during the natural disaster. From time to time, one could hear news about who he had saved and what contributions he had made. The news spread very strongly and his reputation became more and more famous. Nan Xi knew that with one more plot, Qi Qian would be completely promoted to the position of the number one person of this generation.
Thinking of this, Nan Xi narrowed her eyes slightly.
And now, we are getting closer to this plot.
Ever since he wanted to dig out Liu Ling's root bone last time, the system has often checked on Qi Qian's situation. Later it said that he had found another method that was not so life-threatening, but also had little effect.
The Luo family did not receive the gifts for the relocation, so the matter was left unresolved.
After that, Nan Xi's contact with him was relatively limited. In fact, the plot required the heroine to serve Qi Qian personally in this part, but the system didn't know why it skipped this part.
But it was just right, and Nan Xi didn't delve into it further.
She just looked at the huge formation that appeared in front of her due to the formation of several formation masters, with no expression on her face.
Most of the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples were standing around Nan Xi. Someone asked quietly from behind, "Sister, have you rarely smiled lately?"
The person being questioned spoke after a while.
"The situation in the cultivation world is so serious now. I feel like I can't even laugh, let alone my senior sister."
Anyone who is still alive in this world today has the same feeling.
Repression, too much repression.
All traces of human life are being slowly devoured. The land is in a completely unfamiliar state. Many people have died, many of whom are relatives, friends, and lovers of the survivors.
The environment on the floating island is okay, but it's rare to see people smiling truly happily.
It's too depressing, but no one knows how long the world of cultivation will remain like this. Even the spiritual energy outside the floating island feels much thinner than before.
Even though everyone is saying that the world of cultivation will become better after this change, no one is confident.
The topic gradually turned to when the natural disaster would be over. Nan Xi listened and blinked in confusion.
[System, when the natural disaster is over, will I still be alive? ]
Nan Xi did not notice that after these words, the atmosphere in Tianyun Sword Sect suddenly became quiet. She only heard the hesitant voice of the system.
[Yes, it should be possible. ]
The system actually thinks it is impossible. After all, the subsequent plot does not give Nan Xi a chance to survive. If the plot is completed, the energy it obtains can still preserve Nan Xi's soul and make proper arrangements for her.
But now the situation is not right. In the end, it can only obtain a guaranteed amount of energy, allowing it to go to the next world.
But Li Yunzheng was watching it. If the system dared to say no, it would be the next one to be crushed.
The system thought, if I go to another world, the master-servant contract in this world should be useless, right? After all, the master-servant contract is supervised by the Heavenly Dao.
The instructions from the high-level monks made everyone take it seriously, including Nan Xi. The spiritual power in her hands surged, and she cooperated in the formation, and was then drawn and gathered to a certain place.
The earth's veins began to operate under human communication, from being somewhat chaotic in the beginning to being orderly and stable later.
After everything was over, everyone could go home, and Nan Xi also prepared to go back and rest.
It seemed no different from before, but after returning, the sky gradually darkened and the floating island became quieter. At some point late at night, the people on the floating island felt a little vibration.
In other words, it's shaking.
The shaking was not obvious at first, but it kept going, and when Nan Xi got up, she heard a scream breaking through the night sky.
This seemed to be a sign. At this moment, many bright lights appeared on the floating island. Human voices rose one after another. Everyone was panicked and afraid, and the floating island became extremely noisy.
The shaking of the floating island is still getting more intense, and the land on the edge is already collapsing.
Nan Xi did not immediately look for the people from Tianyun Sword Sect, nor did he look for those high-level monks, but quietly waited in the dark.
Soon, the first person fell from the floating island.
The high-level monks must be investigating some problem. Except for people like Nan Xi, no matter how fast others react, few will realize the danger at the edge in the first place.
Nan Xi flew over there, caught the man, looked up, caught another person, and then put these people on the ground.
There wasn't much she could do. She could only wait here until someone reacted and help these monks who had no ability to protect themselves at high altitude.
Not long after, many flying magic weapons appeared in the sky. With Nan Xi's continuous efforts, some people finally responded and started to rescue people. They also sent the cultivators in the Qi training and foundation building stages to the center of the floating island.
Not long afterward, Nan Xi received a message asking her to go to the formation.
The formation that was just reinforced today was damaged a little by a spirit beast in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, which led to this accident.
When Nan Xi hurried over, she happened to meet Qi Qian face to face. Qi Qian saw her and said, "Come with me."
Nan Xi said nothing and nodded silently.
Li Yunzheng and a group of high-level monks went to deal with the spirit beast. They had to take it away from the range of the formation first, which was not easy for Li Yunzheng alone.
What we have to do now is different from usual. Only the best disciples remain as the core of the formation.
The formation master at the front said, "What you have to do now is to enter the formation and replace the flaws in the current formation until we have completely repaired it."
He pointed directions to the dozens of people present, speaking very quickly without pausing.
Nan Xi also stood in the position where she should stand, poured her spiritual power into the formation, and began to operate according to the rules of the formation.
As everyone joined the battle, the towering floating island in the sky gradually became stable. Apart from the sound of the fight between the mighty and the spirit beast in the tribulation period, the world seemed to become extremely quiet.
How many people are there on the floating island? Millions.
Half of them are unable to protect themselves. If the floating island really collapses, the consequences will be disastrous.
The crisis was over at this point, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Nan Xi took the time to glance at the floating island directly above her.
At this time, everyone is still migrating down. After all, the formation has not been repaired, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the future.
But the closer things got, the calmer Nan Xi became.
There are more than one formation master, but there is only one chief formation master. At this moment, everyone is staring at the chief formation master. Nan Xi crossed the faces of the others.
Time passed minute by minute, and it seemed that things were going in a good direction. Soon after, Qi Qian's voice reached Nan Xi's ears.
"Xi'er, look, is there someone looking weird over there?"
Nan Xi already knew it, but she still pretended to take another look, as if she saw someone under Qi Qian's guidance. Then she frowned and said, "This is..."
"He has been looking at Mr. Zhou frequently since a while ago. I saw him not long ago..."
Qi Qian gave a brief account of the whole incident, and finally said: "It is very likely that he came to assassinate Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Qiansheng is the formation master who is in charge of the overall situation at this moment. He plays a very important role and is one of the most skilled formation masters at present. If something happens to him, this entire floating island will never float up again.
Nan Xi nodded in agreement with Qi Qian's words, and finally agreed with Qi Qian's words that if that person made any unusual moves later, they would rush up together to stop him.
Their conversation was kept to themselves and no one else could hear it.
This plot has already begun since the floating island started to move abnormally. It is true that the man wants to assassinate the formation master, but at this time, if any one person is missing from the formation, the floating island will become unstable.
Everything will then fall into deeper chaos.
In the end, the formation master is the only one left to hold on here, while Nan Xi and a group of people are going to rescue people.
In fact, up to this point, everything was not a serious mistake, but in the subsequent plot, the area that the heroine was in charge of, because of her mistake, or in other words, the heroine's attempt to help with the relocation, caused the death of more than 100,000 people.
But Qi Qian saved hundreds of thousands of people.
Qi Qian has completely risen since then. The heroine has killed more than 100,000 people and needs to bear the punishment that all criminals in the world of cultivation should bear.
Thousands of arrows pierced my heart.
Nan Xi's eyes narrowed slightly.
But no matter what, this Master Zhou must be rescued, even if the price is the temporary instability of the formation. But if Master Zhou dies, there will be no floating island for a while.
At least not in the direction of Tianyun Sword Sect.
Not long after, a flash of cold light passed before my eyes.
Nan Xi didn't think much about it and rushed over without hesitation. She was concentrating more on thinking about the real danger in the future. At the moment, she could easily deal with this formation master with average skills.
But the sudden change still caused chaos on the scene, especially for Master Zhou, who was concentrating on repairing the formation. After seeing the dagger in the assassin's hand, he couldn't help but tremble.
The floating island that had just stabilized began to shake again.
But because there were still people supporting it, there wasn't much shaking.
Nan Xi snatched the dagger into her own hand and put it into her storage bag without even looking at it. Qi Qian arrived a step late and was unable to help at this moment.
But in the end they found an opportunity and worked together to capture this man.
After seeing the other person's red eyes, I realized that this was a person who was possessed by a demon. The demon cult has been hiding in the world of cultivation, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the world.
In the plot, the joining of Shi Ye and Ji Hui Zhou to the Demon Cult did become a bit of a factor, stirring up trouble in the chaotic world.
But in reality, after so long, Nan Xi has hardly seen anyone possessed by a demon.
She tied the man up and looked at the frightened Earth Array Master. After all, he had lived for a long time and soon regained his composure. He looked at the man in front of him and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point for you to stay here. You should go and save people now."
The Master's words are the same as in the plot.
Nan Xi's mood rarely became urgent, but at this moment she still looked at Qi Qian until Qi Qian walked to the front and said coldly: "Let's go."
Nan Xi followed him, but his eyes passed Qi Qian and looked up into the sky.
At this time, the complete floating island was slowly falling apart. Although the people on it had been evacuating before, there were still hundreds of thousands of people who had not come down after such a short period of time, and noisy shouts were heard from above.
The situation was extremely serious at the moment. The high-level cultivators were entangled with spirit beasts in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in a distant place. The incident happened suddenly. If they were notified and waited for the people to come back, it would be too late.
Therefore, it could only be carried out by the Jindan and Yuanying stage disciples present.
But the strength of one person alone is not enough, Nan Xi quickly came to the part where the floating island was split in the plot.
Apart from the group of more than 100,000 people in front of us, and the group of 200,000 to 300,000 people over there, there are only some smaller islands, most of which are small islands that can be supported by one person.
Nan Xi stayed here for only a moment, just a moment, and then she quickly came to Ji Huizhou's side, looked at him, and said, "I'm in charge here, you're more needed over there."
Ji Huizhou was stunned. Although what he saw now was also a scattered group, it was also the part with the largest number of people. There were more than 10,000 people on it. It would be extremely difficult for a Jindan stage cultivator alone to handle it.
But after meeting Nan Xi's gaze, Ji Huizhou was silent for a moment, and quickly turned around and went to the divided island where more than 100,000 people were.
Nan Xi took over this small island with a population of 10,000.
Her spiritual power spread out instantly, propping up the island. The Jindan stage could not completely lift the island, but it could slow down the speed of descent, allowing the people on the island to survive safely.
But at this moment, Qi Qian had an accident first.
This accident is also in the plot. It is difficult for a group of Jindan Yuanying period people to support a small island carrying hundreds of thousands of people.
Nan Xi has something here, and she needs to give this thing to Qi Qian, so that Qi Qian’s power will increase greatly, and finally become the brightest star in this rescue.
But if Nan Xi wants to give him the things, she must give up the island she has supported.
Nan Xi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Qi Qian couldn't hold on any longer, and everyone had a look of pain on their face, but they still held on.
Qi Qian was among them, also gritting his teeth.
But suddenly, a powerful force came to him. Before he could react, he heard screams. When he turned around, he found that there was a small island falling rapidly. The people on it were scattered, presenting various shapes in the air, and everyone had fear on their faces.
However, Nan Xi disappeared at this time.
