Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 275 Xia Sang
The changes over more than two million years are indeed enormous.
When Lin Qianxing followed the direction guided by the Hengyang Spirit and arrived at the place where the Xia family had been, there was only a pile of yellow sand left.
"This shouldn't be the case. According to the instructions of the spell, the Hengyang Pearl should still be here? Lin Kong, why don't you try to use the spell I taught you again?" Hengyang Spirit asked in confusion.
Lin Qianxing did as he was told, and as his spiritual power surged, a golden light appeared at his fingertips.
After being condensed, this golden light circled in the air and then flew straight towards a sand dune.
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing hurriedly followed.
Soon, he arrived at a place hundreds of miles away.
It's still a stretch of yellow sand here.
A mysterious light flashed in Lin Qianxing's eyes, and he saw the situation underground through the yellow sand.
There were obvious signs of life there.
"It's down there." Hengyang Spirit also spoke.
Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and the yellow sand around his body automatically separated, and his body began to sink.
Soon, Lin Qianxing had arrived at a place thousands of meters deep underground.
It's not as hot here as on the surface.
The area is connected in all directions, with buildings arranged in an orderly manner, making it look like an underground city.
However, Lin Qianxing discovered that the residents of this underground city did not seem to be living well. Driven by some cultivators who were at most at the Condensed Veins Realm, they were constantly carrying some things back and forth in the passages, and no one knew what they were doing.
Lin Qianxing hid his body, holding the golden light in his hand, and began to look for the whereabouts of Hengyang Pearl.
Under the guidance of the magic formula, Lin Qianxing followed the laborers into the passage and moved forward step by step.
Not long after, the scene in front of Lin Qianxing suddenly changed.
It was a huge empty cave. There was nothing else in it except a tree with golden fruits.
Lin Qianxing felt somewhat familiar with this tree, because he had seen it in the Hengyang small world.
"It's the Hengyang tree. They are forcing the workers to carry some earth fire crystals to cultivate it." The Hengyang spirit said, "I roughly understand why this place has become a desert. The growth of the Hengyang tree requires a lot of nutrients and water.
Many Hengyang trees must have been planted on the surface here before, which destroyed the feng shui balance here and eventually turned it into a desert.
It is really short-sighted to exhaust all resources just to get some Hengyang Fruit that can strengthen the body ."
When Lin Qianxing heard what Hengyang Spirit said, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Whether they are monks or ordinary people, most of them are actually very short-sighted.
They only care about the immediate interests and never consider what will happen in the future.
Or rather, they thought about it, but they didn't care.
When you reap the fruits of your labor, you will just indulge in joy. Who cares what happens next?
At this moment, the golden light in Lin Qianxing's hand suddenly pointed to a certain labor here.
She was a skinny girl who was dirty and looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
At this moment, she was carrying a basket of earth fire crystals and piling them near the roots of the Hengyang Tree.
Lin Qianxing noticed that she had some spiritual energy, probably in the middle stage of the Naqi Realm, but she didn't seem to have any method of cultivation, so the spiritual energy was simply accumulated in her body to improve her physical condition.
And since he can reach this level of cultivation without any method of practice, it is obvious that his spiritual talent is not bad.
At this moment, she looked in the direction of Lin Qianxing as if she had sensed something.
A pair of pure golden eyes appeared in front of Lin Qianxing.
"It's the descendant of the Xia family, and the Hengyang Pearl is in her eye!" said the Hengyang spirit.
In fact, Lin Qianxing could see it without Hengyang Spirit’s reminder.
At this time, a supervisor in the Naqi realm holding an iron ruler looked at the girl and said, "Why are you daydreaming? Get to work!"
As he spoke, his iron ruler came down on the girl's back.
Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and his spiritual consciousness spread out.
Boom~!
The supervisor was flung directly onto the cliff wall, his head tilted and he died.
The group of workers suddenly became panicked.
"Come with me." Lin Qianxing sent a telepathic message to the girl.
The girl looked at the supervisor lying on the ground, then looked at the panicked crowd, and then walked towards Lin Qianxing cautiously.
Lin Qianxing waved his hand, and his spiritual consciousness enveloped the two of them. He directly cast a spell and turned into a beam of light to escape outside.
Soon, the two came to a cave that Lin Qianxing had temporarily opened up.
Looking into the girl's eyes, Lin Qianxing did not take it away by force.
He still had some bottom line, so he decided to achieve his goal through a transaction.
Lin Qianxing said to the girl: "I want your Hengyang Pearl. In return, I can fulfill one of your wishes."
Hearing this, the girl knelt down and said, "@#&＊&＊&..."
"It is the ancient language of the Xia tribe. I will pass its message to you." said Hengyang spirit.
After saying that, a mysterious light flashed on the Hengyang Mirror, and a piece of information was transmitted to Lin Qianxing's soul.
Lin Qianxing could also understand what the girl said.
"Immortal, please save us!" said the girl.
Lin Qianxing repeated his previous words in the ancient language of the Xia tribe: "I want the Hengyang Pearl in your eye. In return, I can fulfill one of your wishes."
"Hengyang Pearl?" The girl looked puzzled, then suddenly realized, "My Immortal, do you want my eyes?"
It was obvious that she herself didn't know what was hidden in her eyes.
Lin Qianxing did not correct the girl and said, "You can understand it this way."
The girl heard this and said without any hesitation: "As long as you are willing to save us, you can take my eyes."
"So your wish is for me to help you get out of your current predicament?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Yes." The girl nodded.
Lin Qianxing sighed. This kind of thing looked very troublesome.
It is one of the tasks he hates most when playing the game.
But since he had already promised the other party, he had no intention of going back on his word.
"Tell me about your name, the current situation of your people, and the matters of the supervisors..." Lin Qianxing said.
"My name is Xia Sang, everyone calls me Asang..."
Soon Xia Sang told Lin Qianxing the whole story.
Roughly 18,000 years ago, the Xia people who had lived here for generations were enslaved by some powerful monks and planted Hengyang trees.
Then, due to severe soil erosion and desertification, the monks continued to let them continue to plant Hengyang trees underground.
As the soil became desertified layer by layer, they continued to dig hundreds of meters deeper, repeating this cycle over and over again.
The Xia people have been enslaved until now and have almost completely lost their civilization.
Xia Sang and his main branch rely on blood inheritance to pass down knowledge, and occasionally some ideas of resistance are born.
Except for Xia Sang and his main branch, other members of the tribe have long been accustomed to their current life and even think that this is natural. Few dare to resist.
After all, once you have the heart to resist, it's basically a dead end.
"So that's how it is. The Xia family used a secret method to preserve the Hengyang Pearl into their bloodline, so that it could be passed down continuously through the bloodline. I didn't expect that when they were just asked to preserve a token of trust, they actually took it so seriously." said the Hengyang spirit.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxing thought: How could it not be heavy? After all, it is a token of an immortal.
However, what surprised Lin Qianxing was that slavery actually only started more than 18,000 years ago.
He thought that Hengyang Territory's enslavement of the Xia family had lasted for more than a million years.
But think about it, it's not realistic. In this world, the life span of a cultivator at the peak of the True Self Realm is only 500,000 years at most. Under normal circumstances, living for 300,000 years is considered a long life. If one really wants to be enslaved for a million years, this place definitely shouldn't be like this now, but would be even more exaggerated.
It has even become a desolate place where no living creature can survive.
"What's the strength level of the strongest among them?" Lin Qianxing asked Xia Sang.
Xia Sang looked thoughtful , as if searching in his inherited memories, and then said, "The ancestor said that it was the middle stage of the True Self Realm."
"A True Lord?" Lin Qianxing frowned.
How could a True Lord-level figure be interested in the mere profit of planting Hengyang trees?
It’s not that the Hengyang tree is bad.
If this thing is cultivated well, it can also be a good spiritual plant and will be of great help in spiritual practice.
But it will definitely not attract a powerful being of the True Lord level.
So the other party must have big plans.
Or is he simply using this opportunity to look for the treasure left behind by True Lord Hengyang?
That’s the only way it makes sense.
"By the way, you have inherited memories , why don't you try to practice?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"No, if you practice, you will be killed." Xia Sang said.
Lin Qianxing shook his head in his heart.
This will completely cut off the future of the entire Xia people.
No wonder someone as talented as Xia Sang is only a laborer there.
Isn't that True Lord afraid that True Lord Hengyang will come back one day and crush him to death with just a flick of his finger?
But no matter what that True Lord was thinking, he was in trouble now.
"Senior, are you sure?" Lin Qianxing asked the Hengyang spirit.
"It's not a big problem. Just use Hengyang Fall to kill him." said the Hengyang spirit.
After getting the assurance from Hengyang Spirit, Lin Qianxing felt much more relaxed.
Afterwards, he temporarily opened up a cave, set up a formation to protect Xia Sang inside, and left some food.
"You stay here and don't leave. I will fulfill my promise as soon as possible." Lin Qianxing reminded.
After saying this, without waiting for Xia Sang's reply, he transformed into a beam of light and headed towards the underground city.
After entering the underground city, Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and his spiritual sense instantly spread out. Thousands of supervising monks were killed by Lin Qianxing's spiritual sense, and in the end only a monk in the late stage of the Condensation Vein Realm was left.
Lin Qianxing did not ask what he meant by that question, and directly used a spell to read the information from his soul.
In a flash, Lin Qianxing knew the information about the sect he belonged to.
"Tianyang Sect? This method of occupying the magpie's nest is..." Lin Qianxing shook his head.
That’s right, the sect behind them is the Tianyang Sect, and the place they occupy is the remaining secret realm opened up by True Lord Hengyang.
Lin Qianxing wiped out the supervisor's soul casually, flew out, and headed straight for the entrance to the secret realm where the Tianyang Sect was located.
In just a few breaths, Lin Qianxing arrived at the entrance to the secret realm of Tianyang Sect.
In the void, the space overlapped faintly. A mysterious light flashed in Lin Qianxing's eyes, and it seemed that he had already seen the situation of the space in the secret realm.
Within this secret realm, there are countless Hengyang trees, some in bloom and some bearing fruit.
A large number of Tianyang Sect monks use it to practice body tempering.
"Who is this lunatic who dares to spy on the secret realm of our Tianyang Sect?"
Suddenly, a majestic spiritual consciousness accompanied by a fiery artistic conception enveloped Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing was delighted. He didn't expect that before he could take any action, he was discovered by the true practitioners of Tianyang Sect.
Then he doesn't have to hide it anymore.
With a thought, the Hengyang Mirror appeared in Lin Qianxing's hand.
As the golden light on the Hengyang Mirror condensed, Lin Qianxing's face was full of eagerness to try and said: "First, let's have a [Hengyang Meteoric Light] to whet your appetite!!"
