Volume 4 Peach Blossom Chapter 7: Spatial Illusion
"Is that so?" Lu Qingshan nodded thoughtfully.
Although he is knowledgeable, he is not omniscient.
Not only had he never been to the Desolate Land in his previous life, he hadn't even heard much news about it. He was naturally happy to have an insider willing to introduce him to the situation of the Desolate Land.
"However, the environment in the other half of the oasis is far more suitable for survival than this side, so the number of monsters and ferocious beasts is far greater than that in this barren land. Therefore, for those human beings living in the desolate land, it is hard to say whether it is better to live in this barren land, or it is safer to live in the other half of the oasis." Liu Yu sighed.
"Where is Brother Lu from?" Liu Yu changed the subject and asked tentatively, intentionally or unintentionally.
"The Lu family of Zhenjiang." Lu Qingshan was very frank about his background and said it openly.
"I am from the Liu family in Qianzhao City. Next time Fellow Daoist Lu comes to Qianzhao Mansion, just let me know and I will definitely give Fellow Daoist Lu a good reception." Liu Yu was also very considerate. Without waiting for Lu Qingshan to ask, she took the initiative to tell him her origins.
To liven up the atmosphere, Liu Yu said self-deprecatingly: "Among the cultivators in this operation, I thought I had the lowest cultivation level, but I didn't expect that there is a fellow Daoist Lu who shares the same pain as me."
Liu Yu is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core. His cultivation is definitely not low, but on this spirit boat, it does seem a bit inadequate.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Liu Yu took the initiative to talk to Lu Qingshan. After all, it is rare to see a cultivator with a lower cultivation level than him. It is like finding a kindred spirit.
However, Lu Qingshan did not underestimate him.
He didn't believe that the monks who could participate in this operation could be that simple.
Just like him, although he is only a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core, anyone who underestimates him will surely suffer a great loss.
…
The flying spirit boat personally piloted by Bei Ming Zhen Zun is not only incredibly fast, but also has its own high-grade concealment magic array, allowing it to fly silently and even without a trace in the air.
There was even one time when a fourth-grade demon bird flew past the spirit boat and failed to detect the existence of the spirit boat.
The journey was uneventful .
However, the scenery along the way was mostly low bushes and barren yellow soil, which made Lu Qingshan feel tired and irritated after looking at it for a long time.
So it didn't take long for Lu Qingshan to pay attention to the road conditions and started to study the Zhentian Secret Sword again.
Sword skills are still the most interesting!
After nearly ten days of study and practice in Fan Tower, he had made some progress and had made some progress in learning this secret sword technique: Zhentian (learning progress: 1.1%).
Although it was only 1% progress, it showed that as long as he was willing to spend time, he could master this secret sword technique.
For most sword practitioners, even if they devote themselves to studying this secret sword technique for three to four years, or even ten years, they gain nothing. Their progress is stuck at the starting point, and they go from getting started to giving up.
Some sword skills cannot be wielded just by spending time.
Two days later, when Lu Qingshan was struggling to push the learning progress of Zhentian Secret Sword forward to 1.3%, the rapidly flying spirit boat slowly stopped in mid-air.
They arrived at their destination.
…
The owner of Pangyang Tower frowned and looked at the human village in front of him.
Perhaps it cannot be called a village, it would be more appropriate to call it a small town.
Because this village is quite large, there are all kinds of houses standing side by side. Although they are very simple and crude, there are quite a lot of them. Among them, there are many indigenous villagers who look almost the same as those seen before, but they are basically women and children.
The barren land is not suitable for growing crops. In order to survive in such a place, men have to run long distances most of the time to hunt in places where there are wild animals.
"The location given by the Yunlang Guard is indeed here." Lu Yuan explained to the middle-aged cultivator beside him.
Bei Ming Zhenzun's eyes were like lightning as he scanned the human town. "These villagers are all mortals, not cultivators from the underworld. There is nothing fishy about their identities. However, since this location was discovered by Yun Langjian using the Heavenly Secret Mirror, the possibility of error is extremely low."
"There is another possibility. This human town is just a cover. The real branch of the underworld is hidden in it in a more concealed way." The owner of Pangyang Tower had a gleam in his eyes. "Don't forget what the blood talent of the Void Demon is."
The true meaning of space!
The owner of Pangyang Tower woke up Bei Ming Zhenzun and Lu Yuan with one word.
…
Lu Qingshan was also looking at the indigenous village in front of him, but couldn't see any problems for the moment.
"Lu Qingshan, I smell a familiar smell." It was the King of Western Rat hidden in Lu Qingshan's sleeve who suddenly spoke and broke the deadlock.
"What's that smell?" Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
"It tastes exactly the same as the blood-red crystals I ate in Zhenjiang City. More importantly, it's very, very, very strong and there's very, very, very much of it." The little mouse demon said six "very" to describe how strong the taste was.
Lu Qingshan was shocked.
When the King of Western Rat broke through from a first-grade monster to a second-grade monster, one of the new abilities he awakened was the ability to keenly sense the spiritual creatures around him that were beneficial to the evolution of his bloodline.
Moreover, this perception comes from the blood instinct and cannot be blocked even by formations and runes.
And the blood-red crystals it had eaten were actually the product of the reincarnation of the blood pool.
Reincarnation in the blood pool is a forbidden method that only the underworld knows.
The smell of reincarnation in the blood pool here is as strong as the King of Western Rat said .
That meant that they were not mistaken, there were indeed traces of monks from the underworld here, and it was an extremely important branch temple!
But why can’t I see anything even though it’s right in front of me?
The next moment, thinking of the Void Demon's ability to truly understand space, an idea flashed through his mind in a flash.
Space illusion!
The middle-aged male cultivator explained in a deep voice, "It is most likely a spatial illusion. People who are proficient in the true meaning of space can completely pull a thin layer of space surface on top of a real space as a barrier."
Just like the edges of the small world always have different shapes, in fact, those shapes do not really exist, but are an illusion evolved when the powerful monks created the small world by pulling the space surface at will.
After the middle-aged male cultivator’s explanation, the owner of Pangyang Tower and the other two understood the specific situation.
"No matter it is a spatial illusion or not, just treat it as it is for now. Bei Ming, you and Lu Yuan will be responsible for organizing and coordinating the actions of the monks." The owner of Pangyang Tower began to give orders and instructed.
"Understood, OP!" Bei Ming and Lu Yuan responded in unison.
"I'll have to trouble Master Hanmei to seal off the space." The owner of Pangyang Tower said politely to the middle-aged male cultivator.
"It should be so." Hanmei Zhenzun said reservedly.
