Chapter 328: Deep into Tiangui Mountain
Speculations are speculations, but we still have to see with our own eyes whether the people from the Sword Sect are still alive, so we continue to go deeper.
Fang Xianyu, who had stopped all the trivial things in his hands and was specifically using the player's field of vision to remotely spy on the situation in Tiangui Mountain, also had a frown on his face, somewhat confused.
The Sword Sect's story was actually a thing of the past. The situation where an entire sect suffered an inexplicable "catastrophe" and disappeared or was trapped was not unique in the Guixu Realm. Therefore, as early as last week, Fang Xianyu regarded it as a distant legend and never took it to heart.
If the players had not accidentally stumbled into the secret cave world that required a blood sacrifice to open while exploring the Ten Thousand Mountains this week, Fang Xianyu would not have known that the Sword Sect actually had the ambition to resurrect the ancient god Yinglong!
She also asked Jun Chou, who claimed to know everything about Guixu Realm, about the secret behind this, but the answer she got became more and more confusing - the affairs of the Sword Sect were covered up by an "invisible hand".
It was even said that Jun Chou was "not allowed to look" at places covered by red fog.
Jun Chou was the spirit of the precious mirror cast by Lord Dou Xuan himself. If he couldn't see something, it could only be a being higher than the ancient gods. Of course, it was also possible that the ancient gods had taken action.
The dark red mist in Tiangui Mountain has an extremely cruel and wild feeling, like atomized blood and flesh, floating in the air. Fang Xianyu counted on his fingers for a long time, but couldn't find any ancient gods like this. Instead, it was more like the style of the Nine Netherworld. However, compared with the chaotic and violent atmosphere in the Nine Netherworld, it has a lot more weird temperament.
More importantly, compared to the players' speculations, the moment Fang Xianyu saw the broken white jade throne, he had already confirmed that the Sword God might have really fallen.
At least he will never be able to enjoy the offerings that come with this title!
Unless they cross the small world, the immortals and gods are all sensitive to their own official positions. Even if the official position is bumped, they can repair it with immortal power or divine power. Moreover, under normal circumstances, there are very few things that can destroy the official position below the level of immortals and gods - no matter what material it is made of.
However, there is also a very small probability that some immortals and gods give up their existing identities and reincarnate into new beings. In that case, those official positions that were once listed and recognized by the worshippers will automatically shatter - because the immortals and gods to whom the official positions refer are already "dead".
This is a method that some immortals who feel they cannot resist the heavenly calamity come up with in a desperate attempt to survive. Although it can indeed avoid the heavenly calamity, the sequelae are also very serious. For example, all memories will be lost, and the soul will have to endure the pain of being broken and reassembled. The life form after reincarnation cannot be controlled. It may be a human, but it is more likely to be livestock, birds and beasts, or even fish, insects, and plants.
Since this kind of thing is truly "deceiving" and "hiding the truth from heaven", no one will be able to recognize you after reincarnation - your soul has changed, how can anyone recognize you!
All I can say is that it was a gamble taken out of sheer desperation.
Sword God, is it possible to use this method?
Even if this method is used, after his soul is reincarnated, can it cross the Soul-Devouring Valley and get out of Tiangui Mountain?
As the players go deeper and deeper, the scenery in the red fog changes slightly.
First, the terrain is getting higher and higher. Within the visible range, you can almost clearly see the upward angle of the ground.
Secondly, there are more and more gravels, and the soil between the gravels is no longer pure dark red, but has some dark brown scattered around.
There were some strange plants growing in the dark brown soil, plants that Fang Xianyu had never seen before, some looked like ferns, and some were vines climbing between gravel. Unlike the plants outside, although the leaves of these plants were relatively thick, they were all red without exception, most of them were light pink, and a few were reddish brown of varying shades, without green or the colors that normal flowers and plants should have.
The Jade Emperor squatted down, touched a grass in front of him that looked like a fern, then he took out a shovel from somewhere, dug it out with the soil and roots, and put it into his backpack. It was obvious that he came prepared.
Seeing this, Renxin Huadao was puzzled and asked, "Emperor, what are you doing?"
The emperor deliberately said: "I have never seen this thing before. Maybe those experimental masters will like it. I will keep it for now. Maybe they will buy it at a high price!"
"Now that you mention it, it's true!" King Bamboo Grass scratched his head and said, "I have indeed never seen these grasses anywhere else in the game. Maybe they are really the specialty of this map?"
"Then I'll dig some too!"
The famous trash party player Guan Tangbao said this as he excitedly rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a broad-bladed dagger.
Nietzsche thought for a moment and said, "Then give everyone ten minutes to dig around! I'll be in charge of the alert!"
"Hehehe Captain, you're the best!"
Wu Ke said, "I'll be on guard. I'm not interested in this stuff. Captain, you can go dig it up!"
Nietzsche actually wanted to dig a few pink ones and take them home to grow. After all, some pink flowers and plants are pretty nice. On Blue Star, she hasn't seen many except for succulents. Therefore, even if they are not valuable, planting them at home is a unique decoration, right? So when Wu Ke said this, she hesitated for a moment, and didn't refuse: "Well... Well, be careful and pay attention to your surroundings!"
"Don't worry!"
Fang Xianyu looked at a group of players who were digging flowers and plants everywhere with their butts sticking out, speechlessly, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.
After all, she couldn't tell what was so special about these plants since they were not in front of her. But they were abnormal anyway. She asked them to bring them back... What if there was any damage to the souls and endangered ordinary people? The players had no souls and were not afraid of death, but the natives under her Taiyin Sect were afraid!
They said they would dig for ten minutes, but in fact, they worked for about half an hour before they reluctantly stopped - mainly because they had pulled out all the plants on the entire hillside, like a swarm of locusts. Even some plants that were initially disliked for being ugly did not escape their clutches. In the words of Miscanthus sinensis, "As an alchemist, of course you must have the spirit of Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs." So she almost bought up all the plants that everyone disliked for not being good-looking enough or for having too many duplicates. It seems that she plans to use them as materials for alchemy when she has time.
"Okay, let's keep going up the mountain!"
Nietzsche spoke, and the players set off in a mighty procession.
In a few minutes, the rubble was replaced by larger and larger stones. These stones were no longer dark red like the stones on the periphery, but were brownish-brown and looked like normal stones.
But there is still a lot of dark red soil on the ground, mixed with dark brown soil with various pink plants growing on it, which looks as strange as a tiger's stripes.
"Is this... the Sword Sect's mountain gate!?"
Wu Ke, who had been running in the front, pointed at a jade archway half-hidden in the red mist and asked loudly in the team channel.
