But think about it, the truth about the world of cultivation is different when seen by cultivators of different levels.
Just like if Sect Master Qianlian had not told him before, Shen Lian would not have known that the Tiannan immortal cultivation world had been divided up into fields of flesh and blood.
You would also think that the seven major sects dominate the Central Region, with various ethnic groups standing side by side, including Makkabaka.
The forces that Li Yang mentioned are no weaker than the Exiled Immortal Tower, and their backgrounds are all equally powerful.
The Ten Thousand Races Alliance is a powerful force that includes hundreds of major immortal realms and almost all races. The seven major sects in the Tiannan immortal realm are all involved with it.
Although the name of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance is great, its success or failure is due to all races. The human race has a saying that those who are not of our race must have different hearts, and this is also true in the eyes of cultivators of other races.
Therefore, the powerful Ten Thousand Races Alliance actually has serious factions within it, with countless disputes among the various factions.
Tongtian Tower was founded by an ancient and mysterious race, the Zhonggu Clan. 'Zhonggu Clan' was the name given to this ethnic group by monks from the outside world.
This ethnic group is extremely xenophobic. It is rumored that their bloodline has been passed down from the Middle Ages to the present day, and they also have a mysterious means of communicating between heaven and earth.
There are very few monks in the outside world who can see their true appearance. In short, they are very mysterious.
Although this "Middle Ages Clan" is very mysterious, they also need to practice, so they built the Tongtian Pavilion and absorbed cultivators from the outside world of immortal cultivation as their peripheral forces.
Ascension Tower.
This force possesses a dilapidated sixth-level spiritual treasure ascension tower.
It is rumored that in the Middle Ages, when the world was peaceful and cultivators could still ascend to heaven, every cultivator who ascended from the immortal world would appear on an ascension platform and experience the baptism of spiritual energy from the upper realm.
And on the ascension platform, there is a stone tower, which is integrated with the ascension platform.
It is rumored that this stone tower is a guiding light, providing the correct direction for ascending monks.
After the road to ascension between heaven and earth was banned, a ruined stone tower fell from the sky to the world of immortal cultivation. For this reason, all the great masters who were hiding in various places in the world of immortal cultivation at that time took action one after another, hoping to ascend again with the help of this guiding lighthouse.
However, after a protracted bloody battle, many gods died, and finally the monks found that even if they obtained the Ascension Tower, they still could not ascend to the upper realm.
Among the remaining monks, some were in despair, while others felt that there was still hope, but they just hadn't found the correct way to open it.
The latter group of cultivators who felt there was still hope took the Ascension Tower away and formed a powerful Ascension Tower that spanned the entire world of immortal cultivation.
As for Zanghai, this force is also very mysterious and is mostly composed of ghosts. They dig for spiritual inspiration and spiritual veins everywhere.
Moreover, the spiritual veins they dug were not the ones that had been contaminated by living creatures’ practice, but the ones that had not provided support for cultivators’ practice for a long time and whose spiritual energy was in harmony with the nature of heaven and earth.
As for what the spiritual veins were used for after they were dug up, some rumors said it was to cultivate the spiritual essence of heaven and earth to repair the five elements for the ancestors. Some said it was to refine spiritual treasures. In short, there is no definite conclusion.
…
More contact with cultivators from powerful forces can help broaden one's horizons. Shen Lian now has a deep understanding of this.
Unexpectedly, he is still a frog in the well.
'Quack'
It turns out that Canglan Mountain is also a member of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance, but it has set up its own organization.
As soon as there was a little progress here, other forces flocked in.
"I'm so awesome."
Shen Lian touched Dahei's two black horns. If it wasn't for Li Yang's confirmation, he would still find it hard to believe that the little commotion he made in Canglan Mountain could attract the attention of so many cultivators.
However, this raises a question.
Is it so difficult to deduce a quasi-fourth-level spiritual restriction? Even if he has all kinds of profound inheritances, there are so many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. How could he not be able to deduce a quasi-fourth-level spiritual restriction? Is he the only smart person in the entire world of immortal cultivation?
…
"Fellow Daoist Li, do you want me to go into Canglan Mountain alone to take a look?"
Meishan spoke and showed Liyang his injuries.
In the secular world, death row prisoners are given a last meal before being executed. But this guy was treated like a beast of burden just after being given a little favor. What a dark heart.
"I was anxious."
Li Yang also reacted, "Daoyou should heal your wounds first, don't worry about other things."
As she spoke, a jade talisman shaped like a petal appeared in Li Yang's hand.
"Fellow Daoist, I took the risk of being discovered by the Exiled Immortal Tower and took on the pursuit of the Rakshasa Valley for you. I hope you won't let me down."
After stuffing the jade talisman into Meishan's collar, Li Yang continued, "Fellow Daoist, please heal your wounds. If you have anything, you can message me directly."
Meishan took out the small petal again and looked at it. "If I throw this away, will you eat me alive?"
"Daoyou Meishan can give it a try."
Li Yang's figure disappeared in the cave in a flash, leaving behind a few words echoing.
"If I were a fellow Taoist, I wouldn't throw it away. Maybe keeping it would save my life."
Meishan looked at the jade talisman and examined it carefully, but did not notice anything unusual.
He then put away the jade talisman, sat cross-legged, and made a gesture as if to heal his wounds.
…
Shen Lian did not personally check the jade talisman left by Li Yang.
If you judge others by yourself, if he had saved someone at great cost, even if he wanted to subdue this person for his own use, he would still leave a backup plan to guard against it.
He didn't even need to check, he was very sure that Li Yang left so openly, she must have left some backup plan.
He originally wanted to gather some of the residual souls to complete the achievement of liberating the residual souls, but he unexpectedly stumbled upon the secret truth of the Tiannan immortal cultivation world and met the cultivator from the Exiled Immortal Tower whom he had always wanted to meet.
Inside the cave.
Shen Lian sat cross-legged quietly, thoughts arose in his mind.
The Tiannan cultivation world has become a place where various families hoard resources. Under such a cruel truth, it will be difficult for him to collect resources in the future.
Let me put it this way, if there were other means to easily obtain resources, these sects would not have divided up farmland. This is no longer a matter of draining the pond to catch fish, but rather digging up their own roots.
Didn’t our ancestors know that doing so would be very dangerous? The answer is no.
Not only did our ancestors know about this, but they also took a gamble and thought that it might not explode in their generation.
As for what happened later, he either ascended to heaven or passed away, no matter how great the flood was or how the world turned upside down.
Tiannan is so arrogant, so I guess other places in the immortal cultivation world may not be much better.
This damn world of cultivating immortals.
After cursing inwardly, Shen Lian stopped talking.
Actually, he is not a good guy either.
Repairing the spiritual veins and trying to liberate the remaining souls, these methods do not show how noble and selfless his mind is. At present, Shen Lian asks himself that he has not reached that noble realm.
He did this just to take advantage of the situation.
This point was responded to when he was going through the golden elixir tribulation.
After a lot of random thoughts, Shen Lian returned to his original place. Even if he cursed, he still had to cultivate to become an immortal.
You can't just wipe his neck.
"Go out for a walk!"
In a flash, Shen Lian stood up from his cross-legged sitting position.
Now that he has a secondary soul and a puppet, it does not hinder him from refining the five elements spiritual objects.
Moreover, it would take at least thirty to fifty years to condense all the remaining spiritual objects into yin and yang energies. It would be better to take advantage of this time to travel around.
You should take a good look at what this crappy world of immortal cultivation is really like, and don't just listen to Qian Lian and Li Yang's one-sided story.
If there is still a force like Sanlin Temple in this chaotic area, I don’t believe that there are no normal cultivators in the vast and boundless world of immortal cultivation in the south.
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Lian went into the Bu Tian Zhu Cave with a whoosh. Then his secondary soul grabbed the Bu Tian Zhu and disappeared into the cave.
…
To the north of the chaotic area, next to the location of the Demon Moon Alliance.
The Yaoyue League is an alliance of evil sects, consisting of dozens of sects, large and small.
The name Yaoyue is taken from the two strongest sects among them, the Yaoxie Sect and the Yuexie Sect.
The number one ranked Yaoxie Sect has a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, who also holds the Yaoyue Tiange, a fourth-tier spiritual treasure that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
It is said that this evil treasure had already survived its first spiritual tribulation.
The transformation of a weapon spirit is a little different from that of a cultivator. The first heavenly tribulation for a weapon spirit is the transformation tribulation, which may occur in various small realms of a fourth-level spiritual treasure.
If the opportunity is sufficient, even a fourth-order lower-grade spiritual treasure can give birth to an instrument spirit. If luck is bad, it may need to reach the fourth-order upper-grade to produce a complete instrument spirit.
After surviving the first spiritual tribulation, the spirit of the weapon took shape, and its strength was equivalent to that of a true Nascent Soul cultivator.
After surviving the second spiritual tribulation, his strength will be comparable to that of a Divine Transformation cultivator.
And if one survives the third heavenly tribulation, he will be on par with the cultivators of the Void Refinement Realm.
However, it is more difficult for weapon spirits to survive the tribulation than for cultivators. Throughout the years in the Tiannan cultivation world, there has been no weapon spirit that has survived the second heavenly tribulation.
The second ranked Yuexie Sect, whose leader Yue'e Zhenjun is said to be the number one fairy in the Tiannan immortal cultivation world, also known as the Moon Palace Fairy, has attracted countless cultivators to fall in love with her.
The fairy is beautiful, but a little abnormal.
Over the past thousands of years, many cultivators have spent a night of love with True Monarch Yue'e.
But after waking up after a joyful night, they all found that they had spent a happy night with a paper man, and the entire scene was captured by the photo-retaining bead, and then their name spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation.
Shen Lian passed through the chaotic area and entered the territory controlled by the Dengpi Sect.
This sect is a Jindan sect and has no rank in the Yaoyue Alliance, but what this sect is best at is making blood spirit lanterns out of human skin.
The Blood Spirit Lantern has many uses. It can dispel miasma and illusions. It is especially convenient to have a lantern when exploring secret realms.
Right next to the Dengpi Sect is the Jianzhi Sect. Yes, this sect has begun using human skin paper.
A market town stands among the mountains.
Shen Lian, Meishan and Fuhun entered the market town one after another.
The market town is not big, and the strongest person is just a Jindan cultivator, but it is quite lively.
The entrance to the market is right at the mouth of the valley.
High above the towering wooden towers, there is a blood spirit lantern hanging, which makes a whirring sound in the wind.
Looking from afar, there was a little man running in circles on the surface of the red lantern. Every time after running one hundred or twenty circles, the little man would make a chirping sound.
This is an hour passed.
The lantern is so vivid because the little man who runs without knowing the hard work is a complete soul that is sealed away.
In the market town, there was a lot of activity among the monks, and quite a few of them were setting up stalls. Various minerals and herbs were everywhere, but their quality was a bit disappointing.
The reason for entering the market is naturally for resources.
Shen Lian is ready to become independent.
Since high-level ones are hard to find, he plans to start from the low-level and see if he can cultivate it himself.
The process of traveling all over Tiannan is also the process of him collecting various resources.
"Daoyou, please come in."
Outside a restaurant, a waiter in a yellow robe saluted respectfully, looking very lifelike.
After taking a look, Shen Lian entered the restaurant.
The servant at the door was made of paper-cut, but it was not made of human skin paper. Instead, it was cut out of plant spirit paper similar to talisman paper.
Looking at the entire market, many monks were either riding paper beasts or stepping on paper cranes. More than half of these paper beasts were made of plant paper, and the rest were made of human skin paper.
"Daoyou, what would you like to eat?"
The yellow-robed paper servant bowed his body and came to the table to speak.
"Pick a few that you are good at."
The servant nodded and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
The small paper figure is so agile, not because the restrictions used are very sophisticated. Paper figures at the Qi training level do not need such mysterious means.
The reason why it can be so lifelike is because there is a soul sealed inside the paper mannequin.
After some drinks, Shen Lian left the restaurant and walked into the largest chamber of commerce in the market.
"Please come in, fellow Daoist. I am the owner of Cuiling Tower."
A shopkeeper with a big mole on his cheek received Shen Lian.
"Ore, take out all the ores in the shop and let me see. I am preparing to refine a magic weapon and I am short of some ores."
"Daoyou, please wait a moment."
Soon, the shopkeeper brought a pile of hundreds of types of minerals, ranging from level one to level three, and let Shen Lian choose each one himself.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any special types of ores with thunder or wind attributes? I can buy them at a higher price."
The shopkeeper Da Mole smiled and shook his head, "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. Our sect doesn't even have enough special ores, so how can we sell them? If you want, you should go to the auction in Daxian City."
After picking and choosing and purchasing a batch of ores and elixirs, Shen Lian did not stay in this small town for long and left directly.
However, as soon as he walked out of the market, he became happy and someone followed him.
The monks in this small market are so enthusiastic.
…
In the blink of an eye, a year later.
During this period, Shen Lian traveled to many places under the jurisdiction of the Demon Moon Alliance. Unfortunately, it was a bit unrealistic to want to pick pearls from the sand, and he did not find a suitable fellow believer.
On the contrary, almost every time he entered the fairy city or the market town, he would be watched when he came out.
He was a little annoyed at first, but later he found that the local Taoist friends actually treated everyone equally. They not only picked on him, an outsider cultivator, but also did not let the local cultivators go.
The sects under the Yaoyue League have all kinds of strange methods. The cultivators who grew up in such an environment have long been deeply integrated with the environment of this area.
Xihe Fairy City.
The largest immortal city under the Yuexie Sect, the second evil sect of the Yaoyue League.
Over the past few decades, the Yuexie Sect has been very busy. Their ancestor, Yue'e Zhenjun, has been quiet for a long time and is now thinking of choosing another Taoist partner to share the great way of yin and yang.
Not only did some Nascent Soul Daoists under the age of 500 from the seven major sects come, but even cultivators from the other four continents were attracted.
Nascent Soul cultivators under the age of 500 are considered young people in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
If one could study the Great Dao of Yin and Yang together with a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, perhaps one could speed up one's practice and increase the chances of comprehending the Divine Transformation.
Otherwise, how can we talk about the pit of cultivating immortals? Among the cultivators who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, there is no cultivator who does not know how arrogant the world of cultivating immortals is now. Even if they are promoted to the God Transformation stage, they cannot ascend.
But knowing it is one thing, but when it really comes to you, you will fight for it even if there is a slight chance of improvement.
The main focus is on truth.
