Chapter 743: Passage
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
This day has been the seventh year since Qin Ziling and his companions entered the Dark Emperor Heaven, and the second year since they entered the outer periphery of the Mountain Range of Beasts.
In the secondary outer area of the Mountain Range of Beasts, there are many powerful species of mythical beasts and ferocious birds. People who enter here basically choose to avoid them, and only choose to fight when there is really no place to hide.
Qin Ziling and his group were just the opposite. They were looking everywhere for the surviving species of mythical beasts and ferocious birds, just like a group of hungry wolves with green eyes looking for food.
Once they encounter the surviving species of divine birds and ferocious beasts, they will choose to fight quickly to avoid alarming and attracting other people.
If he encounters a group of surviving species of divine birds and ferocious beasts, or surviving species of the ninth grade, Qin Ziling will use his soul to investigate the situation around him, and then use the "Five Directions Prison Battle Formation" to block the surroundings, making the battle formation shrouded in dark fog, making it difficult for outsiders to see clearly what is going on inside.
Then all the people from Wuji Sect came out, while Qin Ziling himself sent out both Taoism and martial arts. On the one hand, he released five-colored feather beads to kill the remaining species, making it feel like it was carrying five mountains on its back, and on the other hand, he held the sword and rushed forward to kill them.
When the five-colored feather beads fell into Qin Ziling's hands, it was like a thousand-mile horse meeting a good horse trainer, and finally it shined.
Normally, an eighth-grade divine bird or ferocious beast would not be able to withstand that blow at all and would fall directly to the ground, then be killed by a single blow from Qin Ziling who rushed over.
Therefore, when the remnants are killed, a scene often occurs.
Qin Ziling had a five-colored feather bead hanging on his head and a black dragon sword in his hand. He killed the eighth-grade relic one head at a time, with great speed, ferocity and brutality.
Of course, Qin Ziling definitely couldn't kill the ninth-grade relic with one blow.
However, with nearly a hundred Wuji Sect disciples and five Hades Immortal Generals assisting, as long as they are not of the same level as the Feiniu descendants encountered last time, it would basically be a matter of a few hits and three or five swords.
Of course, occasionally they would encounter powerful relic species like the Garuda coming out of the mountains to look for food. Qin Ziling would always avoid them early with his powerful and sharp spiritual perception.
During such a year, although the number of natural treasures found was not very large, the number of relic species hunted and moved into the cave for captivity was frighteningly large.
Not to mention the seventh and eighth grade ones, just the ninth grade ones, Qin Ziling and his team hunted and killed six of them within this year.
With so many remnants, even if Qin Ziling had a large number of men and horses and ate a lot of meat every day, it was impossible for them to be consumed in just one year. A large part of them were kept and prepared to be taken away. These were the foundation of the powerful Wuji Sect that would rise later.
"Zi Ling, there are fewer relic species in this area recently than the last time I came out. It's been two days, and I've only hunted a seventh-grade relic species. Moreover, many people have entered the depths of the mountains. Should we also consider going into the depths of the mountains to look for opportunities?"
Standing on a mountain peak, Jian Bailou and Qin Ziling stood side by side, looked around, and then pointed to the towering mountains in front of them that stood between heaven and earth like giant pillars.
"I also think that we should consider going deep into the mountains to look for opportunities!" Lai Yinuan echoed.
"What the two teachers said makes sense. It's time to go deep into the mountains to look for greater opportunities." Qin Ziling said, looking ahead.
Not long after Qin Ziling finished speaking, five black shadows flew out from the forest behind them and landed behind Qin Ziling. They were the five Hades Immortal Generals.
A year passed, and Yuan Da, Yuan Er, Xiong Da and Ying Bao, who had once had a great opportunity on the Fire Prison Island, finally survived the seventh wind and fire disaster like the four heads and became eighth-grade Hades Immortal Generals.
"This time, all of you hide in the Qiankun Cave World and be ready to fight at any time. I am the only one who will enter the depths of the mountains." Qin Ziling said.
"Master, isn't it too risky for you to go alone? What if someone suddenly attacks..." Qi Yu frowned .
“Don’t worry, Elder Qi. My soul is strong and sharp. I can sense any slight change in the surrounding energy in advance. Moreover, my body is now as tough and strong as a magic weapon. Even if I am careless occasionally and a ninth-grade immortal sneak attacks me, I will only suffer some injuries.
Besides, I am only at the seventh level, and I don't think any ninth level immortal would be so shameless as to launch a sneak attack on me, right?" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
When they heard Qin Ziling mention the word "shameless", everyone's expressions changed subtly, and the worries in their hearts disappeared.
Yes, when it comes to shamelessness, is there anyone who can compare to their leader?
In both Taoism and Wushu, the combat power of any one of them is at the level of ninth-grade True Immortal, especially the physical training martial arts. Not only is the strength amazing, but the most abnormal thing is that the body is so tough and strong that there is no weakness. Even the skin is as tough and thick as a copper wall. There were several times when he fought hand-to-hand with the ninth-grade descendants.
The man and the beast tore each other's faces, but in the end, their leader's face was not broken.
With such terrifying combat power, when they were on the move and met other people on a narrow road, their leader actually chose to be the follower and let others take the lead.
This time, their leader chose to go deep into the mountains alone and let them hide in the Qiankun Cave World. It was obvious that he was prepared to be shameless to the end and continue to "pretend to be young" in a low-key manner.
Why should they be worried about such a shameless headmaster?
What should be worrying are the people who go deep into the mountains and the ninth-grade relics entrenched in the deep mountains .
Others go into the mountains for the natural treasures hidden deep in the mountains. They have no idea about the ninth-grade relics lurking in the depths of the mountains. They just hope to avoid them and avoid any entanglement or fighting.
But their leader, when he went into the mountains, was not only thinking about the natural treasures in the mountains, but also about the ninth-grade relics in the mountains.
"Master, what you said makes sense, but we still have to be careful in everything!" Qi Yu nodded quickly.
"I will." Qin Ziling nodded, and then moved everyone and the five Hades Immortal Generals into the Qiankun Cave Heaven World.
After this incident, Qin Ziling identified the direction and headed north.
Deep in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, which is also the central area, there are only four entrances in the east, south, west and north. Each entrance is only thirty to fifty miles wide. The rest of the area surrounding the central area of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range is collapsed space and pitch black.
In the darkness, the space cracks are like giant beasts with their mouths open, ready to devour their prey.
This collapsed space was like an endless abyss surrounding the central area, separating the central area from the secondary peripheral area. Not only outsiders, but even the powerful descendants deep in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range could only enter and exit through the four passages in the southeast, northwest, and northeast.
Qin Ziling was now facing the west side of the central area of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, which was the area where he had seen Tai Shi Ba and the Golden-winged Roc fighting fiercely from afar a few years ago.
The golden-winged Roc is not only ferocious and powerful, comparable to a quasi-Taoist immortal, but it is also a bird with air superiority. Obviously, it is not a wise choice to start looking for opportunities from the area where it resides.
Therefore, Qin Ziling chose to enter from the north.
In the north, Qin Ziling had heard people mention over the past few years that the most powerful relic species in that area was a Jiaozi relic, which was extremely ferocious and aggressive, and many people had died under its claws.
Rumor has it that Shang Minxiu, the seventh disciple of the second-ranked Lord of Piaomiao Palace, entered that area and fought with this Jiaozi descendant several times, but the outcome was unclear.
However, that area was not only occupied by the powerful relic species of Ya Zi, but also by other powerful relic species. Therefore, Shang Minxiu's several attempts to enter the deep north ended in failure, and some troops were lost.
Compared to the powerful golden-winged Roc, Qin Ziling would rather choose Jiaozi.
Passing by the collapsed space zone that looked like an endless dark abyss, Qin Ziling came to the northern passage.
This is a canyon.
The mountains on both sides of the canyon pierce the sky, and space storms rage above. Clusters of strange power are so thick that it seems as if the sky has been stained with thick ink. It has already materialized, and it is impossible to climb over the steep mountains on both sides. The only way to enter is to pass through this canyon passage.
The widest part of the canyon passage visible to the naked eye is about thirty miles wide, but because the space inside the canyon is severely distorted in many places, the end of the canyon cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Because this canyon is one of the four necessary passages to enter the central area of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, when Qin Ziling arrived at the entrance of the canyon, he saw some people inside the canyon walking cautiously, and some people outside the canyon rushing towards the canyon.
These people basically came in groups of three or five. I didn't see any ninth-grade true immortals, nor did I see any sixth-grade true immortals. All I saw were seventh-grade and eighth-grade true immortals, and a few human immortals.
The ratio of seventh-grade True Immortals to eighth-grade True Immortals is roughly two to one.
Although the number of people he saw was not large, this composition still made Qin Ziling feel complicated and emotional.
Because before entering the Dark Emperor Heaven, Qin Ziling had observed that the largest number of people were of the sixth rank, followed by the seventh rank, there were also quite a few of the eighth rank, and very few of the ninth rank.
The ratio of the sixth and seventh ranks was about two to one , while the ratio of the seventh and eighth ranks was three to one or even stronger. Now, as far as Qin Ziling could see, there were no sixth ranks left, and the ratio of the seventh and eighth ranks had become two to one.
It is conceivable that after six years, almost all the sixth-grade true immortals had been killed or injured, and had truly become cannon fodder.
The casualty rate among seventh-grade True Immortals is also very high.
"It's not easy!" Qin Ziling sighed secretly.
"It's not easy!" When Qin Ziling was secretly sighing, those people saw that Qin Ziling, a seventh-grade true immortal, actually came to the northern canyon alone. They also secretly sighed and looked at him with a trace of sympathy and pity.
Apart from feeling sorry for Qin Ziling, no one had the intention to kill him and rob him at this time.
This is not to say that these people are compassionate and sympathetic, but their purpose is to enter the central area to look for opportunities. From the moment they step into this passage, everything begins to become very dangerous, and powerful ninth-grade relics may appear at any time.
If they fight here, stain the canyon with blood, and attract powerful ninth-grade species, it will be a big trouble.
There were a few people who wanted to win over Qin Ziling, but he politely rejected them all.
