Chapter 776: The Outside World
Soon, Qin Ziling flew to a nearby island.
What a coincidence.
There is a demon sect that is killing people wantonly, trying to slaughter all the creatures on the island, loot their property, and refine their magic weapons.
The island owner is an earth immortal in the middle stage of the Immortal Infant realm, and he is leading his people in a fierce resistance.
But the other side has three earthly immortals in the middle stage of the Immortal Infant, six earthly immortals in the early stage of the Immortal Infant, and dozens of Golden Core Semi-Immortals. The strength gap between the two sides is huge.
Even with a large island protection formation, it could not stop the enemy's attack. When the island was about to be destroyed and everyone was about to die, Qin Ziling happened to fly over and was ready to ask someone for directions.
When he saw the people from the Demon Sect killing people indiscriminately, he naturally felt murderous. With a thought, a stream of immortal power rushed out of his body and turned into a giant palm.
The giant palm fell, the space was turbulent, and a strong wind blew.
Those demon sect figures were all shocked and turned their magic weapons around to attack Qin Ziling's giant palm.
But when those magic weapons fell on Qin Ziling's giant palm condensed by immortal power, they bounced back like an ant trying to shake a tree, but the giant palm still pressed down with a rumble.
One of the fingers pressed down towards an earth immortal who obviously looked like the leader.
"Bang!"
The leader was pressed into a ball of flesh by the fingers.
The other eight infant immortals were so frightened at seeing this that their hearts and livers were broken, their souls flew away, and they all rolled up their precious lights and tried to escape.
But the giant palm was like the sky, and they were like flying birds under the sky, looking very small. No matter how fast they flew, they could not escape the coverage of the giant palm.
The five fingers of the giant palm slowly clenched into a fist.
The eight immortal infants and earthly immortals were all caught by the giant hand. As the giant hand tightened, screams were heard and blood rained down.
The world was dead silent.
Both sides were so frightened that their minds went blank.
It was not until Qin Ziling flew over the battlefield on auspicious clouds that everyone woke up and prostrated themselves in worship, some calling him ancestor and some calling him immortal.
Looking at the sea of heads below, Qin Ziling remembered that he had just killed the immortal infants and earth immortals as if he was slapping a few flies. His eyes were a little dazed, as if he was in another world!
Once upon a time, he was just as weak as those "flies".
But now…
Qin Ziling was a little dazed for a moment, but the people below didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the slightest movement would displease the old ancestor, who would turn them into a ball of meat with just a flick of his finger.
Qin Ziling quickly came to his senses and dismissed everyone in a gentle manner, leaving only the island owner who had led everyone in the resistance to question him.
The owner of the island is named Tang Jialing.
Qin Ziling asked him for directions.
However, Tang Jialing's cultivation was limited, and his range of activities was basically limited to the area of 200,000 to 300,000 miles around the island where he was located. As for places farther away, he basically only knew about them through hearsay or reading some records, and he had never been there.
Fortunately, he had heard of Jinting City and told Qin Ziling that Jinting City was about two million miles south of them. For the specific route, he had to ask a true immortal who lived more than 100,000 miles away from them.
Last time, Qin Ziling used the ancient teleportation array in the back mountain of Jiuxuan Sect to first reach Jinting City in the Dayin Mountain Sea Area, and then went to the nearby Heimo Island.
Before entering the Dark Emperor Heaven, Qin Ziling already knew that every time the Dark Emperor Heaven was separated from the outside world, the place where the crack channel appeared was still the Great Barbarian South China Sea, and it was basically within an area of millions of miles centered on the Hei Mo Island where the matching channel appeared that year. Only a very small number of them would deviate far away from the Hei Mo Island.
Now that he had received confirmation from Tang Jialing, he felt much more at ease.
As long as he was still in the Great Barbarian South China Sea, it would be much easier for him to go back.
His only worry was that he would be too lucky and end up in some unknown place far away from the Savage Sea, or even have such good luck that he would be teleported directly to another world.
If it is the former, he is now powerful and can go back eventually. If it is the latter, he will be in tears.
But now it seems that his worries were unnecessary.
"Thank you, Island Master Tang, for the information. See you later!" Qin Ziling got the information he wanted, bowed and said goodbye to Tang Jialing, who also specially gave him two Wuchen Immortal Pills suitable for him to take.
Having just killed a lot of people from the Demon Sect, the One-Eyed Fire Dragon can easily refine them into a handful of Dust-Free Immortal Pills in his current state.
Tang Jialing never dreamed that there actually existed such a great master as Qin Ziling in this world, who not only saved them, but also remained gentle from beginning to end. Before leaving, he even gave him such a precious elixir. Tang Jialing couldn't help but kneel down and bid farewell until he could no longer see Qin Ziling, then he stood up.
Qin Ziling quickly found the true immortal mentioned by Tang Jialing.
Qin Ziling is now an eighth-grade True Immortal, while that True Immortal is only a second-grade one.
When he saw Qin Ziling coming to him to ask questions, he immediately treated him as a guest of honor and gave him great hospitality.
Qin Ziling did not ask about the location of Jinting City, but asked about the location of another more famous fairy city in the Dayin Mountain Sea.
The ancient teleportation array in the back mountain of Jiuxuan Sect had long been damaged. Not only was it extremely expensive to activate once, but it was also only one-way.
If Qin Ziling wanted to return now, it would be impossible for him to use the teleportation array of Jinting City. Instead, he would need to cross nearly 20 billion miles of sea, passing through the territories ruled by many major forces, and finally return to Jiuxuan Mountain.
The Jiuxuan Sect was once a powerful force with a Taoist immortal in charge, and it even had a brief period of glory over the long years.
Historically, many ancestors of the Jiuxuan Sect had walked out of the Jiuxuan Mountain and sea area and set foot on the territories of many major forces in the Great Savage Sea.
Therefore, the Jiuxuan Sect still has some written records about the geography of the Great Barbarian Sea, especially the Great Barbarian South Sea, and the territories ruled by various major forces.
When Qin Ziling and Lan Ran left Jiuxuan Sect, they both specially copied down a record of the situation in the Great Savage Sea for reference when they returned.
However, the Great Savage Sea is vast and boundless. The Jiuxuan Mountain Sea and the Dayin Mountain Sea alone are nearly 20 billion miles apart, so many geographical records are very simple. Most of them simply record a general direction and famous islands, giant cities, or countries along the way.
It is definitely not possible to cross the sea for nearly 20 billion miles relying on such simple geographical records. You need to find someone to ask every time you fly a certain distance to avoid taking the wrong road.
Originally, he could return to Jiuxuan Sect via Jinting City. Moreover, Jinting City was a huge city directly controlled by Dayin Sect, with a ninth-grade true immortal in charge. It was most convenient to go there to inquire about information, and Qin Ziling was also familiar with Jinting City.
But at this moment, Jinting City must be a place where heroes gather. There will even be many Taoist immortals gathering in Jinting City waiting to welcome the victorious return of their own talented children.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
At this time, Qin Ziling naturally didn't want to go to Jinting City to join in the fun.
He chose another fairy city.
After finding out the location of the immortal city, Qin Ziling gave the true immortal some pointers before saying goodbye and leaving.
Qin Ziling's current attainments in the Dao are so profound, and his vision is so sharp!
The True Immortal received some advice from Qin Ziling, which was no less than the guidance of a Taoist Immortal in person. It was like a wake-up call and an epiphany. As soon as Qin Ziling left, he went into seclusion to practice.
…
The Dayinshan Sea Area is one of the central sea areas of the Daman South China Sea.
Jinting City is also one of the important places in the sea area of Dayin Mountain.
There are many teleportation arrays in the city. It has been an important transportation hub for the Great Barbarian South China Sea since ancient times. Every day, powerful people from all sides pass through or stay in Jinting City. It is very busy with people coming and going.
Recently, Jinting City has become increasingly busy.
From time to time, a powerful aura that would make even a ninth-grade True Immortal feel palpitating descended upon Jinting City.
Because Dark Emperor Heaven is about to separate from the big world, the talented children of various powerful forces will return victoriously.
Their elders all came in , ready to welcome and escort them back, to prevent their opportunities from being snatched away halfway.
On this day, in Jinting City, on the top of a towering mountain.
A mountain lake as green as an emerald, with peach trees and blooming peach blossoms all around.
There is an island in the lake, on which is built an ancient palace.
In the backyard of the palace, there is a towering ancient tree full of fairy fruits.
Under this ancient tree, there are more than fifty immortals sitting.
All of these immortals were Taoist immortals who were powerful in the Great Barbarian Sea, and most of them were Taoist immortals from the Great Barbarian South Sea.
Sitting in the host seat was a thin, middle-aged Taoist who looked like an immortal.
This thin middle-aged Taoist priest is none other than Yin Chen, the leader of the Dayin Sect.
Sitting in the guest of honor seat was a tall and imposing man wearing a golden robe embroidered with seven stars.
This man was none other than Si Baijun, the most famous Taoist immortal in the Great Barbarian South Sea and the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace.
In addition to these two, there are also You Shijin, the master of Lingyun Palace who is mighty in the South Sea of the Great Barbarians, Meng Zongqin, the master of Piaomiao Palace who is mighty in the East Sea of the Great Barbarians, Shen Hongquan, the master of the bearded immortal Chen Yuanji, Tai Shijun, the head of the Tai Shi family in the West Sea of the Great Barbarians, and many other powerful figures.
Hao Yuanchong, the leader of the Nanbo Sect of the Great Barbarian South China Sea, was also present.
However, Hao Yuanchong's status and position are obviously not as good as those of Lingyun Hall Master You Shijin and others, and his position is relatively backward.
"Manager You, I have received news recently that the Lord of the Netherworld Palace, Youtong, is leading people to besiege the Jiuxuan Sect." The Lord of the Seven Stars Palace, Si Baijun, spoke slowly, his eyes first falling on the Lord of the Lingyun Palace, You Shijin, and then he looked meaningfully at a skinny old man wearing bloodshot clothes and with shriveled skin.
The old man in blood-stained clothes was none other than the patriarch Xueli, the leader of the Youxue Sect in the West Sea of the Great Barbarians.
When the Lord of the Netherworld Palace was defeated and fled to the Great Barbarian South Sea, he took refuge with the Xueli Ancestor.
When Patriarch Xueli saw Si Baijun looking at him, he ignored him and just kept eating the fairy fruits and fairy wine on the table.
"General, it is true. However, the Netherworld Palace and the Nine Profound Sect have a long history, and the grievances between the two have also been going on for a long time. The Nine Profound Mountain has changed owners several times in history, so the ownership issue is difficult to determine.
Therefore, I will not interfere in their grievances, and let them resolve it themselves. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the enemy, and it will be up to fate. "You Shijin replied.
You Shijin is tall, thin, with gray hair on his temples. He exudes an elegant and unpretentious demeanor.
The Great Barbarian Sea is divided into four seas: east, south, west, north, and four great generals are stationed in charge of each sea.
Under the four great generals of Zhenhai, there are four general managers.
Si Bojun is not only the master of the Seven Stars Palace, but also the General Zhenhai of the Great Barbarian South Sea.
You Shijin was the governor of the western route of the Great Barbarian South Sea.
Upon hearing this, Si Bojun looked up at You Shijin and Old Ancestor Xueli, then said expressionlessly, "In that case, I will not ask about this matter. However, the situation should not be escalated to avoid harming innocent lives."
As soon as Si Bojun finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of joy on his face and said: "My son has come out, everyone, please say goodbye, I will leave first."
After saying that, Si Baijun stepped into the air and left.
Although everyone knew that Si Shaonan was gifted and powerful, and had a great chance of returning victoriously this time, everyone still felt different when they saw Si Shaonan return safely.
Some people had looks of joy and envy, while others had looks of disappointment and jealousy.
Not long after Si Baijun left, Tai Shijun looked up to the sky and laughed, bowed to everyone, and walked away into the air.
Seeing Tai Shi Jun leave, a man in gorgeous clothes had a look of loss in his eyes.
This man was none other than Ximen Yongbao, the head of the Ximen family, who had a long-standing feud with the Taishi family in the Great Barbarian West Sea, and the uncle of Ximen Jingli.
After Tai Shi Jun left, people left one after another with happy faces.
Time passes slowly.
There are fewer and fewer people in the backyard shaded by the ancient trees.
The faces of Meng Zongqin, Shen Hongquan, Xue Li, Ximen Yongbao, Hao Yuanshang and others became increasingly gloomy and ugly.
In the end, they could no longer bear their inner anxiety, and they all stood up, said goodbye to the leader of the Dayin Sect and left, preparing to take the initiative to look around.
In fact, with their realm of cultivation, once the disciples come out and activate the signal talisman, they can sense it even if they are hundreds of millions of miles away.
Up to this point, they still haven't sensed any signal, so the situation is probably not good!
Ten days later.
“Bang!”
In the sea area of Dayin Mountain, near Heimo Island, a huge palm suddenly fell from the sky. A small island was smashed into pieces on the spot and sank to the bottom of the sea. No living creature on the island was spared!
But the huge hand seemed to be unsatisfied and raised it high again, then slapped down towards another small island.
"Brother Hao, I'm sorry!"
At this moment, a voice was heard, and the clouds in the sky changed. The sea was met with huge waves and transformed into a huge rotating turtle, blocking under the huge palm and trying to lift it up.
High in the sky, the ordinary-looking Hao Yuanchong saw the sea transform into a huge spiral turtle blocking his giant palm. He took a deep breath and finally retracted his giant palm.
"Brother Yinchen, I'm sorry for offending you!" After retracting his giant palm, Hao Yuanchong bowed in the direction of Jinting City, then flew away through the air.
Not long after Hao Yuanchong left, the sky in the direction of Heimo Island was dyed blood red.
In Jinting City, under the towering ancient tree, the leader of the Dayin Sect, Yin Chen, who had a thin and elegant appearance and a demeanor of not being interested in competing with the world, changed his expression slightly, stood up suddenly , pinched his hands to make a magic gesture, and a peach wood sword with ancient patterns and full of the charm of the Tao flew into the air.
Soon, a peach tree with lush branches appeared under the blood-red sky.
The peach trees are green and full of vitality, with branches and leaves spread out.
The bloody sky disappeared.
An old man in blood-stained clothes rolled up a river of blood that passed through the sky.
Yin Chen looked into the distance at the blood river flowing through the sky with a solemn expression.
"This time, more top-notch talents died than last time! Not only did Hao Yuanchong's only son die in there, but even Shang Minxiu from Piaomiao Palace, Qi Gui from Youxue Sect, Ximen Jingli from Ximen Family, and Chen Yuanji from Chishui Sect all died in there.
Logically speaking, with their cultivation, even if they cannot seize the great opportunity, returning safely is not a problem. But this time, a large number of them died. Could it be that something unexpected happened in the Dark Emperor Heaven?"
Yin Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at a man who looked honest and was sitting cross-legged behind him.
This man is also one of the powerful ones who entered the Dark Emperor Heaven this time. He is Yin Chen’s direct disciple Ge Yi, ranked 26th.
"Master, I have not heard of any sudden incident. But this incident is indeed strange. It is said that Shang Minxiu had seized the Heavenly Dao Creation Fruit in the Dark Emperor Heaven a long time ago, and his cultivation level was able to break through and become a powerful figure at the Half Dao Immortal level.
In the entire Dark Emperor Heaven, only Si Shaonan could truly compete with her, and even Tai Shiba was beaten by her and fled with injuries. Logically speaking, it was impossible for her to die.
There is also Zhou Ziru, a member of the Zhou family in the West Sea. She is a calculating woman. She took advantage of the fight between Tai Shiba and the powerful descendants to seize a Heavenly Dao Creation Fruit and became a figure close to a half-way immortal. It is also surprising that she did not come back. "Ge Yi replied.
"There is such a thing! The Heavenly Dao Creation Fruit is a truly rare fruit in the world, and it is hard to find one. With Shang Minxiu's talent, if he gets this fruit, Piao Miao Palace will most likely have another Taoist immortal.
Even if it was the Zhou family, if Zhou Ziru had not died unexpectedly, there would have been a good chance that another Taoist immortal would have emerged. In this case, the Zhou family would probably truly rise in the Great Barbarian West Sea.
What a pity, what a pity! However, whether they get the Heavenly Dao Fortune Fruit or not has nothing to do with us. But if Si Shaonan and You Shiqi each get a Heavenly Dao Fortune Fruit, the power of the Seven Star Palace and the Lingyun Palace will become stronger, which is not a good thing for our Great Hidden Sect.
Moreover, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. The Lingyun Palace is becoming more and more powerful, which is a blessing or a curse for our Great Barbarian South Sea! It's a pity that you didn't get the great opportunity this time. The path of Taoism will become more and more difficult. Otherwise, if you can become a Taoist immortal, no matter how they change, our Great Hidden Sect can be above it. "
As Yin Chen spoke the last part, a hint of worry and regret appeared in his eyes.
"It's all because of my incompetence that I failed to seize the great opportunity and disappointed Master!" Ge Yi said with a look of shame and self-blame on his face.
"You don't need to blame yourself. Even Shang Minxiu, Qi Gui and others died in there. The fact that you were able to return safely and bring back some opportunities is actually very good." Yin Chen waved his hand.
…
In the Great Savage Sea, a huge palace that was as magnificent as an imperial palace was flying in the air.
In the palace, Tai Shi Jun was drinking and eating meat in a happy mood.
He didn't care that his beard was covered with wine and gravy.
"Ba'er, you really didn't disappoint grandpa! This time you got the Heavenly Dao Creation Fruit, and brought back a Nine-Leaf Heavenly Pattern Grass, as well as a ninth-grade blood and flesh treasure medicine and many other natural treasures. You are truly a lucky general for my Taishi family!
As long as you can comprehend the way of heaven and become a Taoist immortal this time, Grandpa will step down as the head of the family and let you take Grandpa's place. I wonder who among those old guys dares to complain! "Tai Shijun wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, then slapped the big table with his big hand, and said with a heroic look on his face.
"Grandpa, it's too early to talk about this. My most urgent priority is to go back and meditate on the way of heaven!" Tai Shiba said in a deep voice.
When Tai Shijun heard Tai Shiba say this, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. After a while, he said with relief: "You have become calmer. It seems that you have experienced a lot during this trip to Dark Emperor Heaven!"
