Zhou Changqing looked constipated, and his tone was filled with helplessness.

"I am a great Yuanying ancestor, but I am driven like a pig or a dog, and kept like a cow or a sheep."

After sighing, Zhou Changqing walked out of the room with a somewhat depressed look, and stood outside the flying boat, gazing into the vast void.

Liu Qingqing looked a little sad.

Obviously, Yuxuan Sect is not having a good time in Xuanyou Continent.

…

In the following days, under the leadership of Zhou Changqing and others, the group of three traveled a long circle along the north-south void outside the Tiannan West Continent.

Through the two people's explanations, Shen Lian also gained a deeper understanding of the current situation.

In general, the strength of the Tiannan cultivation world is still very strong, but due to the fragmentation of the major forces and the existence of some alien branches, the Tiannan cultivation world is very disunited.

"Junior brother, after entering the Tiannan Continent, you must be careful to hide your identity. The Tianyuan and Chixiao sects in the Tiannan Continent are very powerful."

"Also, you have heard of Canglan Mountain on the Tiannan Continent. This place is not as simple as it seems. It is related to some forces deep in the continent."

Zhou Changqing stopped talking to the point, but Shen Lian also understood that the Tianyuan and Chixiao sects should be the tough nut to crack in the Tiannan Continent.

As for Canglan Mountain, there is no need to say more. Its overall strength should surpass the Tiannan immortal cultivation world. Even if Tiannan is destroyed, Canglan will most likely be fine.

"Brother, when I was in Tiannan, I heard that there was a wasteland at the southernmost tip of Tiannan Continent. There are still relics from the Middle Ages there, which attracted many cultivators to search for spiritual medicines. Our patrol direction reaches the southernmost land, so why don't we search there?"

"We must not go to this cursed land!" Liu Qingqing said hurriedly.

After a moment, she felt that she had overreacted, and after regaining her composure, she continued, "Junior brother, the space in the southern area is weak, and we will be trapped in it if we are not careful.

Besides, it’s ok for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to go around that area, but you and I, Nascent Soul cultivators, shouldn’t go there.”

"A long time ago, the Tiannan Xiuxian World was not called Tiannan, and at that time the Tiannan Xiuxian World was even further south...

Later, the immortal cultivation world in the south was destroyed, the continent collapsed, and some fragments of land drifted northward and gathered in the southern part of today's Tiannan Continent, forming a broken area, causing the void to become unstable and gathering boundless resentment. "

“Once a Nascent Soul cultivator steps into the barren land in the southernmost part, it is easy to cause resentment.”

In fact, Liu Qingqing didn't need to explain. When the three of them drove the flying boat to the southernmost tip of the continent, they saw from the air that the southernmost direction was filled with a brilliant colorful light.

Under the colorful light, one can vaguely see pieces of broken continents extending all the way to the deep void in the south, like a long tail dragged out by the Tiannan Continent.

At this time, Zhou Changqing looked at the edge of the miasma and suddenly said, "Junior brother, do you see the sea next to the miasma? There is a forbidden sect there, which is the descendant of the 'Corpse Immortal Sect'."

Hearing the voice, Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

"Corpse Immortal?"

"Yes, this sect was driven out from the core eighteen continents."

"Descendants of the Huashen Sect?"

"No, it is more powerful than the ordinary Divine Transformation Sect. Its ancestor has ascended to the upper realm."

Zhou Changqing's eyes sparkled with envy. "The founder of the Corpse Immortal Sect is a genius. He sacrificed and refined a quasi-sixth-level spirit corpse, and even used it to ascend to the upper realm."

"How could such a powerful sect fall to this point?"

Shen Lian pointed in the direction of Wanxinghai.

However, there was a huge wave of emotion in my heart. No wonder the fat brother seemed more and more approachable the more I looked at him. I didn't expect that he had such a powerful background.

As soon as Zhou Changqing opened his mouth, he immediately realized that it was the Xuanshi Sect.

"When the Corpse Immortal Sect was at its peak, they dug up people's ancestral graves everywhere. Even the major Divine Transformation Sects were visited by them, causing too much trouble."

After hearing this, Shen Lian understood again.

It turns out that the Xuanshi Sect's offering of elixirs in exchange for corpses in the Wanxing Sea was a self-reflection after being severely beaten.

Come to think of it, stealing and digging up other people's ancestral graves is not something that can last long. It's lucky that you didn't get killed.

However, a quasi-sixth-level sect, even if it has fallen to a small puddle, its foundation is not comparable to that of a Nascent Soul sect.

Thinking of that fat guy Qian Dai, oh no, Brother Qian, Shen Lian suddenly realized that he hadn't contacted his brother for a long time, which was not good.

Back then, the fat guy, who was only at the third level, had a fourth-level cultivation cave and spiritual objects. It was obvious that he had a wealthy family.

That's what he said. He felt that there was something wrong with the Xuanshi Sect from the beginning. See, his feeling was correct.

"Junior brother, this matter cannot be leaked. Not many cultivators in Tiannan Continent know about this."

Zhou Changqing reminded Shen Lian that he knew that because Xuan Miao had told them to pay attention in advance to some forces that should not be touched.

"Although this sect is now in decline, it is rumored that the founder of the sect has not died, which is why the sect has not been completely destroyed."

"Why, are you afraid that the ancestor will jump down from above?"

Shen Lian pointed to the sky.

It seems to be true.

It is impossible to fly up now. If someone could jump down from above, maybe it would be possible to fly up from below.

Fatty, doesn't this mean you have won a golden ticket to immunity from death? Canglan, the immortal corpse, and the small Tiannan have created a situation where there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

…

After walking around with his two senior brothers and sisters, Shen Lian saw the lightning-attracting towers outside the void of the western continent. There were a total of 108 towers from south to north.

The function of these lightning towers is to sense the tribulation of monks.

Forget about the Golden Elixir, the main things are the Nascent Soul and the God Transformation.

The main purpose of building the Lightning Attracting Tower is to monitor the appearance of Yuanying and even Shenhua monks in Tiannan.

In recent years, it has become easier for the Divine Transformation cultivators to advance. If a Divine Transformation cultivator appears in Tiannan, we can prepare for it in advance.

As for why cultivators who are undergoing the divine tribulation do not hide themselves, but directly enter the void outside the continent to undergo the tribulation and avoid detection.

That's something to talk about.

Ten thousand years ago, this trick could be used to enter the void and survive the tribulation, but now there are countless celestial phenomena in the void, and the tribulation of transformation into a god can be overwhelming, which can easily trigger celestial phenomena in the void.

On the contrary, the void is safer in the area where the continent is located.

Over the years, the God Transformation Tribulation had not been noticed, but the Nascent Soul Tribulation had been sensed several times.

Then, two guys were unlucky and were captured just after they survived the robbery.

…

In the vast void.

Shen Lian stood with his hands behind his back, watching the spirit boat turn into a point of light and disappear into the darkness.

Senior brother gave me a task.

Go to the mainland to secretly search for high-quality spiritual root seedlings, and then quietly send them back to Yuxuan Sect.

As the supreme elder of Yuxuan Sect, he receives an annual salary of one million contribution points. The contribution points can be used to exchange for sect resources and to consult sect classics.

One million contribution points correspond to ten thousand high-quality spirit stones. Combined with the three thousand years of life span of a Nascent Soul cultivator, if he does nothing to maintain the lowest level of cultivation, he can destroy the Yuxuan Sect.

In addition, Zhou Changqing also gave a small cave to accommodate the recruited immortal seedlings.

After a pause, he flew towards the mainland.

Western Continent, Fuling Mountain.

As soon as Shen Lian entered the cave, he casually threw a few things out. Then another Shen Lian came out, took the things and checked them.

Five Yuanji Shengling Pills, of inferior quality, were slightly better than the ones in his hand. After all, they were made by alchemists from the middle-level cultivation world, and their craftsmanship was slightly better than that of the local alchemists in Tiannan.

Elixir, no problem.

Cave Heaven, no problem either.

Shen Lian was playing with Dongtian, a jade token with mysterious patterns flashing on it. Its surface was extremely smooth and it was one of the spiritual objects inherited from the Yuxuan Sect.

The cave opened up inside the jade token is very large, more than a thousand miles in size, and has formed a relatively complete cycle, with spiritual fields, spiritual veins and residences.

Practitioners of Qi training or even foundation building can live in it for dozens or even hundreds of years without any problem.

Playing with the jade tablet of Dongtian, Shen Lian was thinking. Before he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the few Nascent Soul cultivators he met were more cunning and sinister than the other.

Just like when he and the fat guy Qian Dai tested each other for a long time, and then went to the appointment with thunder and fire on his back.

The five Yuanji Shengling Pills did warm Shen Lian up for a while.

"Brother, you have broadened your path."

Shen Lian was willing to search for immortal seedlings with suitable spiritual roots. This was similar to his previous behavior of trying to please the heaven and earth.

If Tiannan was really going to be destroyed, he couldn't stop it, so leaving some incense behind would be considered a good deed.

Two days later.

Inside the cave, Shen Lian practiced for a while and then stopped, still wanting to get some elixirs and five-element spiritual objects.

He spread out his hands and looked around, then he sighed.

"What do I need this hand for?"

A fourth-rank master technician with superb skills in hand actually has no place to use them.

Looking at the Yuanji Shengling Pill in his hand, he crushed it, used his spiritual power to peel out the black residue inside, and then used spiritual fire to refine it again.

Half a day later, a dark green bean-sized pill appeared in his hand.

Well, the remaining poison has been dissolved, but it is also completely indistinguishable from the remaining medicinal power.

Which alchemist made this Yuanji Shengling Pill? It's such a waste of elixir.

After thinking for a while, Shen Lian took out three bronze tripods and filled them with spring water.

He grabbed the big black dragon, its tail of three thousand and its wings of twenty thousand, and threw the three guys into the big cauldron one by one.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Light a fire." Shen Lian glanced at Erwan.

Erwan opened his mouth and spit out a ball of fire, which fell under the cauldron.

Take out the bean-sized pills, scrape a little bit of the foam off them and drop it into the boiling spring water.

"Ah... Master, please stop, it's cracking."

In the big cauldron, Dahei was waving two big pincers, and a circle of red appeared on the outer shell. The medicinal power was too strong.

Seeing Sanxiao screaming in the cauldron, Shen Lian stopped.

Even a little bit of the fourth-level elixir would be a great tonic for a third-level spiritual beast.

"You three are practicing too slowly. When will the master's spiritual ink be ready?"

"From today on, increase your training intensity. As long as you can't be torn to death, then torn to death."

Since the Yuanji Shengling Pill in my hand is of poor quality, I will use it to enhance the strength of the spirit beast.

With the powerful divine sense, he could clearly sense the limits of the three little ones. Shen Lian gave them different doses of medicine according to the conditions of the three animals.

That's it, a pill the size of a bean, only scraped off a little bit.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound came from the bronze tripod where Dahei was, and Dahei clamped the edge of the tripod with his two pliers.

"My two brothers, you'll get used to it after a while."

"Regarding cracking, I have summarized six points over the years. Please remember them."

“…”

…

Shen Lian did not stay any longer after expediting the training plan for the three spirit beasts. He was going to rush back to the Wanxing Sea to meet his fat brother who had been lost for many years.

I need the fourth-level five-element spiritual objects, elixirs and other things for my cultivation. I want to see if Brother Qian Dai can give me some support.

At least five fourth-level five-element spiritual objects. Shen Lian felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about it.

…

Sea of ​​​​millions of stars.

Xuanshi Island.

Billowing smoke and dust floated on the island, and melodious and high-pitched cries rose and fell one after another. Surrounding the island, stone tablets stood one after another.

"Forehead, forehead, use spiritual power to rush it, make it feel like blood is rushing to the sky and tears are streaming... The ancestor of the Wang family has reached the golden elixir stage. This time, the spiritual stones given are twice as much as before. Show your sincerity and cry, but don't ruin your reputation."

"Hey...that's right."

"When worshipping the ancestors, one must be sincere."

"The recording beads are in place. Record everything for me."

"Come, come, come over here, okay, kneel down... Wait for me to record the video..."

"Mourning music, start..."

Outside a stone tablet surrounded by carved beams and painted pillars, a group of people were kneeling on the ground, and there were busy monks everywhere around them.

Before the treasure ship docked, Shen Lian had a panoramic view of the entire scene on the island.

When the treasure ship docked, he was blocked by a group of people as soon as he stepped onto the shore.

"Daoist friend, go to the left when you go to the grave, and go to the right when you enter the city."

"Senior, look at my grandfather, he is intact. You can take him home with just 500 spirit stones. He has all the internal organs and skin intact.

"Get out of the way. This is the fifth grandpa you've sold in the past six months. Your grandpa has given birth."

"What's the matter? My grandmother can give birth, what's it to you?"

"Senior, look at me. My ancestors for eight generations have been on the island, deeply involved in the field of looking after and guarding graves."

"Get lost, my family is the family that guards the graves."

…

As soon as he arrived at Xuanshi Island, Shen Lian immediately experienced the unique sect culture of Xuanzong.

There is no doubt that the sect that was severely beaten by the immortal cultivation world is different.

He released a little bit of his energy to disperse the monks who surrounded him, and walked towards the city on the island.

In the years since he left the Southern Continent, the Fenglei Treasure Pavilion previously opened by Qian Dai has closed down, and the jade talisman used to communicate between the two of them has also disappeared.

To this end, Shen Lian went directly to the Qian family and contacted Qian Dai through the Qian family’s clansmen.

This is how the trip to Xuanshi Island came about.

Qian Dai is in seclusion on Xuanshi Island. For some reason, he cannot leave the island for too long, so they can only meet in the city on the island.

…

Inside the city, in a private room of a restaurant built entirely of ebony.

A beautiful woman in a black dress leaned against the windowsill, looking towards the city. Her lazy posture showed the majesty of the mountains.

This woman's body under the black skirt is as white as snow, and you can see her fine blood vessels, giving people an otherworldly aura.

Suddenly, the female cultivator stood up, stretched, and a smile appeared on her face.

Outside the box, the door opened, Shen Lian stepped in and glanced at the female cultivator.

“Fellow Daoist…”

The female cultivator in front of him was filled with an extremely strong corpse aura. Her seemingly fair feet were rooted in the ground, and the corpse aura turned into a cyclone swirling under her black skirt.

Seeing Shen Lian, the female cultivator spoke tenderly, "Brother Lu, long time no see. Congratulations on your Nascent Soul achievement!"

ps: No update in the afternoon, need to sort out the later plot.
