Seeing the other person's bright and familiar hair color, Shushu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Then, she realized that the person in front of her looked familiar, and the aura emanating from him seemed familiar as well.
Shushu glanced at Lu Li beside her, and seeing that Lu Li nodded at her, she knew that her guess was correct. She quickly stood up and bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, senior."
The person opposite was clearly taken aback by Shushu's greeting. They shifted their gaze from Tianluo to Shushu, looking puzzled: "You know me?"
Shushu didn't hide anything and took out the token given to him by Tian Suanzi from his spatial storage.
Upon seeing the token, Tianjizi's face revealed an expression that seemed to be a mixture of joy and nostalgia: "So it was him who sent you here."
After saying that, Tianjizi waved his hand, and the light screen transformed into the shape of a door.
It was only when Shushu arrived that he realized the place the other party was in was the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting.
The "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting is said to have been created and left behind by a predecessor who was born into an imperial family during his ascension tribulation. It is a semi-divine artifact.
Because it was generated during a tribulation of lightning, it was permitted by the Heavenly Dao and can be considered a small world, but it is not a complete small world; it is a special existence that lies between the two.
The emperor of that time left the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map" to his descendants, but because the map was so eye-catching, many people coveted it and tried every means to seize it.
After several generations, the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting was indeed stolen and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since.
As time passed, no news of it emerged again, and this semi-divine artifact faded from the world's sight.
I never expected that Senior Tianjizi would be hiding in this picture.
Shushu and Luli exchanged a glance, not sensing any danger or feeling anything amiss, and then took the lead and went inside together, followed by Long Yitian, Luo Tuxi, and their three little tails.
As for the marmots, they were still bound and taken inside by the Heavenly Net.
Tianluo's idea was that the marmots were all beasts, and if Tianjizi dared to scheme against them, he would use the marmots to threaten him.
Of course, Tianluo's worries were ultimately unnecessary. Tianjizi had no intention of harming them at all, and even treated Shushu and the others as honored guests.
He led them to the very center of the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map, right next to the spiritual vein, overlooking the entire map.
Upon seeing the scene before them, both Shushu Luli and Long Yitianluo gasped in shock. Tianluo was so astonished that he unconsciously loosened his grip on the group of marmots.
Before the entire spiritual vein lay countless wounded, including humans, beasts, and rare treasures, their faces contorted in agony and howling in pain.
Nearby, far from the spiritual vein, there were many others lying or sprawling. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of their bellies, Shushu would have almost suspected that they had already perished.
Only a small number of people, like Tianjizi, were still able to stand and walk, and they were busy among the wounded.
Just by looking at their thin spiritual energy, their emaciated figures, and their pale faces, you could tell that these people were also seriously injured.
What I saw before me looked exactly like a camp for heavily wounded soldiers.
If there is sufficient spiritual energy, they may recover quickly.
However, this world, which was originally recorded in the inheritance as having abundant spiritual energy, is now so devoid of spiritual energy that it is even worse than the environment of a minor world.
Shushu and Luli observed for a while and found that only those who were seriously injured and about to die could get half a pill, or even less.
All signs indicate that they are now not only lacking in spiritual energy, but also in elixirs and spiritual plants.
For a moment, the fellow disciples looked at each other, unsure whether to take out the pills for everyone to take now.
Just as they were hesitating, Tianjizi's voice rang out from the side.
"These are all heroes from the Great Embankment who came to fight on the battlefields beyond the borders over the years. The earliest of them came here ten thousand years ago and were later captured by Hongxuan through a scheme..."
As Tianjizi recounted the story, Shushu learned that these people were all from the Daxu Realm who had come to fight on the outer battlefield, but were captured by the Dachang Realm through a scheme.
At first, Hongxuan simply captured people in an attempt to turn them against their cause, or perhaps he intended to use them to blackmail Dawei into surrendering.
After all, those who were captured and brought here are mostly important figures, or people who are very influential in their respective sects.
Those who reach such high positions likely have their own principles and will not easily compromise, much less betray their country. Even when subjected to various forms of torture, they do not bow down.
With their concerted efforts, they were able to send back quite a few people, which raised the level of vigilance in Dawei, preventing Dawei from being captured and keeping the war at a stalemate.
They all thought they would have a chance to escape back later.
However, eight thousand years ago, the people of the Great Chang Realm discovered a void secret realm near the battlefield outside the domain, which is the small world where they are now imprisoned.
The people of the Great Chang Realm were unwilling to suffer losses among their own people, so they used the rogue cultivators of the Great Chang Realm and these captured prisoners as human shields to take over this secret realm.
Tianjizi himself perished within it, leaving only a wisp of his soul. By chance, he stumbled into the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map and became its master.
Unfortunately, when he made the contract with the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map," both he and the map were in a state of excessive wear and tear, making it impossible for them to break free from its confinement.
So, Tianjizi first subdued the marmots in the vicinity, and then used the marmots to go out and rescue the people of Dawei.
