One month later.
In a valley in the Eastern Region, clouds and mist were billowing, and when the faint sunlight shone in, it looked hazy.
You can vaguely see many vegetation and mountain flowers in the valley, which are also in full bloom in late autumn.
The dawn is dim and cloudy, and the mountain flowers are blooming and dewy.
A figure full of evil spirits suddenly broke the peace of the valley and rushed out suddenly, tearing countless mountain flowers into flying petals and scattering morning dew.
"ah--"
The figure suddenly shouted wildly, with his long hair flying, showing his madness, and erupted with an astonishing momentum, startling countless birds in the surrounding mountains and forests to flutter their wings.
After a while, the figure let out a violent gasp like thunder.
Then the sound of gasping became weaker and weaker, and gradually disappeared without a trace along with the strong evil aura.
In the mist, two points of light flashed. Chen Dengming opened his eyes and looked at the thick sweat and unknown liquid that had spread all over his body, even mixed with bloodshot streaks.
"Cut the hair and cleanse the marrow? After another breakthrough in the Horned Dragon Bone Forging Technique, my body has once again been strengthened in all aspects. Is this a blood transfusion, or is it the removal of impurities in the blood?"
Chen Dengming's eyes showed a trace of thought, feeling the tyrannical power of this body.
Without demon blood, the more you practice the Horned Dragon Bone Forging Technique, the harder it becomes to control the blood evil.
To be on the safe side, Chen Dengming has planned to temporarily slow down his practice of this technique. It will not be too late to practice again when this hidden danger can be better solved in the future.
Anyway, the current bone age should have reached the standard.
He performed a cleaning technique on himself, then changed into another set of clothes and returned to the valley naked.
But in the valley, a demonic beast as high as a hill was emitting evil aura, lying quietly, it had been dead for a long time.
There is a blood pit on the ground beside it.
It was filled with fishy-smelling blood, without a trace of aura, and even a few Gu insects didn't bother to take a look.
Chen Dengming put on a pair of clean clothes, took out the instrument for measuring bone age, activated it, and tested himself.
The final detection light stayed in the red area.
Although it is dark red, it also means that the bone age is within fifty years. The eighty-year-old cucumber has been repainted with a new pink paint.
"fine."
Chen Deng breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past month, he had not been rushing to the longevity sect very quickly, mainly because he often went into the mountains to hunt monsters on the way.
Occasionally, I would be overjoyed when encountering monsters attacking nearby mortal towns or cities.
Seeing that the monsters are not strong enough, they rush to bully them. The monsters they hunt can use their blood to practice bone forging techniques. Their meat can also be eaten and sold. They are literally full of treasures.
With such stop-and-go, Chen Dengming had not crossed the ten-thousand-mile territory outside the Eastern Territory for a month, and still had three to four thousand miles to go.
The Eastern Region is really too big.
Among the four regions, the Eastern Region is the largest, with outstanding people and abundant resources.
The Southern Territory occupies the second largest area, and its various resources are second only to the Eastern Territory.
The Northern Region ranks third in area and the Western Region ranks fourth. These two regions are the most barren and backward.
In the thousands of miles outside the Eastern Territory, it is not like the uninhabited barren land on the border of the Southern Territory, but there are also many mortal countries.
From a small country to a large country, there are clear distinctions.
But almost all of them are controlled and protected by some immortal cultivating sects within their respective spheres of influence.
There are even small countries that are just a country that cultivates immortals, and the king is a golden elixir monk, forming a force of its own.
There are also small countries that are simply founded by the descendants of a certain immortal sect boss.
If some of the disciples of this lineage have spiritual roots, they will be sent directly to the Immortal Sect to practice. It can be said that their birth determines extraordinaryness.
Chen Dengming stopped and walked along the way, seeing a lot and hearing a lot.
After all, he is not a newbie to the Eastern Territory. He has heard about many sect forces and the legends of the Eastern Territory.
However, several encounters along the way were particularly embarrassing and thrilling.
For example, some mortal countries often go to war with each other.
Youxianmen seems to use the battlefield battle between the two countries as a chessboard game to ultimately determine the ownership of some resource interests.
If the monk does not end the game personally, his life and money are precious, while the mortals of the two countries have become chess pieces. The chess pieces have their own value, and the chess pieces can be discarded at any time.
Chen Dengming, like some passing monks, watched this war in a mortal country from a distance.
I only saw 30,000 warriors facing off against each other, thousands of miles of battlefields at war, and soldiers on both sides shedding blood. They were both brave and brave, but the inside story was depressing and sad.
However, in addition to wars between mortals, wars between immortal sects and cultivating families also inevitably occur on the way, and the level of cruelty is even worse.
Chen Dengming doesn't like to fight aggressively. Now that he has enough resources, he can avoid them whenever he can.
Relying on the little formation spirit's advanced perception, he often seeks good luck and avoids bad luck, and slips away early.
When encountering something that is unreasonable and unavoidable, the only option is to take action decisively and then quickly drive away. It is a safe and joyful situation.
This experience along the way also made him feel that no matter where there are people and resources, there will be struggles and there will be no peace.
It is sheer luxury to expect that a place with better resources and a more comfortable environment.
At most, the environment will become better, more luxurious, and have more good resources, but it will not be comfortable unless the resources in the environment are enough for everyone to use without competing with each other.
Now the bone age has reached the state planned by Chen Dengming.
If the longevity sect's requirements for entry into casual cultivation were not particularly strict, he should be able to pass the first level.
However, such a prestigious sect is also extremely strict in assessing the background, character, past, etc. of its disciples.
Therefore, after asking around these days, Chen Dengming still made some adjustments to the plan to ensure stability.
You can't eat a fat man in one sitting.
In order to avoid being discovered by the longevity sect about his origin and some secrets, he had planned to join some close celestial beings who were attached to the longevity sect.
It is best to have a relationship like that of a son-mother fairy sect.
The recruitment requirements of Xiaoxian Sect are naturally not as strict as those of Changshou Sect.
And with this kind of Zimu Immortal Sect as a springboard for transition, his close identity will be established, and his secrets can be better concealed.
After breaking through the foundation building in the future, it will naturally be easy and smooth to apply to join the Shangzong.
As it happens, the longevity sect does have many vassal sects.
Among them, there are several who are extremely close to the Zimu Immortal Sect, and Chen Dengming has taken a fancy to the Changchun Sect.
Although the name of this sect is a bit unpleasant, as it sounds like the Hehuan Sect, it is said that the martial arts and Taoism in the sect are all obtained from the Changshou Sect.
Analyze as usual.
These immortal sects will start recruiting people at the beginning of each year, and there will only be about two or three months for him to prepare.
"In two or three months, according to my cultivation speed, I will practice with all my strength. After three months, I can barely reach the peak of the tenth level of Qi training. I wonder if I can break through the foundation building by then?"
Chen Dengming thought to himself, and at the same time he put away the corpses of the monsters in the valley, made a secret to summon the Ice Spirit Sword, and drove away with the light of the sword piercing the air.
As a monk at the tenth level of Qi training, his magic power is quite strong now.
Keep flying at a constant speed of 120 miles for half an hour, and flying continuously for two hours will only consume 50% of your spiritual energy.
There were still three to four thousand miles to go, so Chen Dengming decided to speed up and rush to the Changchun faction's territory as soon as possible.
Five days later.
Near the boundary of Huangfengmen.
In a lush mountain forest, Chen Dengming drove more than two thousand miles in a row. After eating the monster meat, he rested in the forest.
Suddenly, in the distance due west, a series of bright lights suddenly flashed one after another.
"Stars in the sky in broad daylight? Meteors?"
Chen Dengming was shaken so much that his eyes stung, and he raised his hand to cover it. Suddenly, a brighter light burst out from the sky in the distance, like a small sun shining suddenly, stimulating people's eyeballs to shrink.
The next moment, there was a sudden burst of explosions like thunderous cannons, as if heavenly soldiers and generals detonated the gunpowder magazine, shaking the wind and making the leaves in the forest rustle.
"?"
Chen Dengming hurriedly got up from the ground and looked at the long shining golden light coming over there in shock. Not only was he dazzled, but his head was also buzzing.
I only felt the roaring sound like thunder, resounding in all directions from west to east.
what happened?
This idea just came out of my heart.
The next moment, a strong roar came from the sky, and the air quickly became depressing and impetuous.
An extremely powerful and oppressive aura was accompanied by a golden light like a small sun, which instantly passed through the clouds and fog, from far to near, and in an instant it reached the top of the woods where Chen Dengming was.
Before he could react, he felt a terrifying pressure coming over him, and he was so nervous that the blood vessels in his body were about to explode.
But in the blink of an eye, there was another figure shrouded in golden light, like a red chain snake with fire all over its body, breaking through the clouds and following closely behind, its light illuminated the chaotic and turbulent rolling clouds.
Chen Dengming's eyes widened.
My heart was even more tense, like a strong arrow that was about to leave the string and be shot out of my throat.
"Golden elixir? Is it Jindan Daxiu?"
In the next breath, he suddenly reacted and quickly looked back at the sky far behind.
Almost as soon as he moved his eyes, he saw a strange scene that he would never forget.
I only saw a flash of golden light, like a dazzling and astonishing flash of light, opening a crack in the sky and colliding with the golden light on the opposite side.
In an instant, the two split into countless root-like flashes of light that remained for a long time.
The next moment, it was as if the thunder had gathered enough strength and let out a roar like a landslide, shaking the ground beneath its feet as if it jumped.
Chen Dengming couldn't stand the dazzling bright light, and he felt blind for a while.
Only by immediately concentrating his eyes could he barely see the sky over there.
But in the blink of an eye, is there anyone there?
Suddenly, Chen Dengming's eyes narrowed and he saw only a pale, phosphorescent light falling from the sky, like a human figure.
"A golden elixir overhaul is injured? Where is the other one? This"
The idea of picking up missing golden elixirs and overhauling them appeared in Chen Dengming's mind, and he saw a dazzling golden light quickly coming from the east, catching the figure, and then let out an astonishing roar.
This angry shouting did not sound loud, and it was far away, like a dull thunder muffled in the water, but it also made Chen Dengming feel dizzy in an instant.
If you are injured by sound waves or some kind of spiritual power, your vision will be blurred.
…
A long time passed.
Chen Dengming returned to normal. When he looked at the sky over there, it was clear and covered with white clouds.
Everything seems like an illusion.
If it weren't for the aura in the surrounding air that was not so active and had a particularly depressing and terrifying aura, I would have thought that nothing had happened.
"Golden elixir fight? Such a horrible thing happened. What the hell am I in?"
Chen Dengming cursed lowly and forced himself to calm down. Looking at the Gu that had fallen from his body and was dormant on the ground, he forced a smile.
He felt that at this moment his muscles and nerves suddenly became relaxed, as if they were about to abandon him and let him fall down like a cyst.
The next moment, he sat down on the ground.
But soon, my butt felt like an olive, and I couldn't sit down. I stood up suddenly, picked up my luggage, and left in a hurry.
But he was only halfway through, and he took another detour, not wanting to go where those golden elixirs had just fought.
On the way, Chen Dengming found that many monks were just like him, nervous, running around aimlessly, or hiding in corners, afraid to show up.
As he watched, he gradually calmed down, his state of mind entered the ultimate state of silence, his eyes became dark and pure, and he completely eliminated all worries and fears, and walked slowly on the road.
At this moment, his brain was finally not so chaotic.
Soon I became clear and flexible and no longer nervous.
Thinking about it, people are afraid of the unknown.
The reason why he was nervous was because he suddenly and unpreparedly witnessed the terrifying power of the Golden Core cultivator.
Just the power emanating from such a distance is terrifying and frightening, leaving a psychological shadow.
This level of power is like the power of heaven and earth. It can be said that it is completely beyond the scope of what can be understood during the Qi training period.
When the Qi Practitioner saw the Jindan monk's electric fight, wasn't it like two rabbits seeing two lions fighting each other? The impact of such brutal power simply made the rabbit collapse with fear.
Before meeting the golden elixir monk, Chen Dengming once proudly thought that he had a strong mind and a firm will.
Even when meeting Senior Jin Dan, he can still be neither humble nor arrogant, and not too nervous.
But now that he has actually seen such strong men fighting, he realizes how brave his thoughts were.
All the bullshit legends and stories about practicing Qi and killing golden elixirs are all childish.
This kind of fight between strong men was like just now, the lightning and flint had emptied the spiritual energy of the world, and there was not even any yelling and shouting exchanges.
Perhaps there is communication, and it is a collision between consciousnesses that is faster than electric fire, rather than relying on mouth output, and ordinary Qi training cannot be heard at all.
From this, Chen Dengming couldn't help but think of the evil star.
It is said that the evil star can kill the Yuanying old monster in the late stage of Jindan. Is this rumor true or false?
The Golden elixir monks are so terrifying, wouldn't the Nascent Soul be even more terrifying?
There is a big realm in the middle. Can the evil star cross it?
Chen Dengming was thinking as he walked, and before he knew it, it was already dark, and he didn't even notice it.
In front of them, the lights of a city could be seen, as if there were many monks gathered in a mess.
In the surrounding mountains and fields, there were also some monks walking on foot. It was rare that they were not flying with magic weapons. They even seemed to be walking carefully and slowly, cautiously.
Suddenly, several spiritual lights flew over Chen Dengming's head, and from one of them, a male cultivator's sarcastic voice came out.
"What's wrong? It's just a fight between Jindan Daxiu. Although this kind of thing is rare, it's not uncommon, right? Are you all scared to death? It seems that you are not suitable for development here. Go to the border, hahaha—— "
The male cultivator laughed loudly and his tone was arrogant.
But the monks walking around dared not speak out in anger.
Until the male cultivator and his companions disappeared, the tense and oppressive atmosphere seemed to be broken by the male cultivator's words.
Some casual cultivators also regained their courage and set up their escape light, as if to prove something. Although they were very close to Fangshi in front of them, they still flew over.
Someone sneered in a low voice, "The monk who passed by just now is a monk from Huangfeng Sect, a disciple of the sect. I heard that my father is also a deacon and foundation-building monk of Huangfeng Sect.
If I had such a background, I would not panic and live my life how I should. If we fight against Jin Dan Daxiu, we will fight, and it won’t have much impact on me.”
"that is."
Some monks around him whispered in agreement.
Chen Dengming woke up as if from a dream, and suddenly realized that the fight between Jindan monks was not an accident, but an inevitable event.
I once thought that the Golden Core cultivator was far away from him because he was on the border of a resource-poor land.
There are almost no golden elixir monks living there permanently, so how can there be a golden elixir monk fighting there? Even if there is, it is only a very small probability event.
But now, he was on the outskirts of the Eastern Territory, almost approaching the hinterland of the Eastern Territory.
The probability of a fight between Jindan monks is naturally high.
Some of the monks here are even used to it, but those who have just come here are not used to it.
The reality is not that it is impossible to have any strength on your own, and the enemies you encounter are of similar strength.
The reality is that no matter what your strength is, as long as the environment is good enough, a few big guys may pass by at any time, and you may be trampled to death with just a few kicks. They cannot even be called enemies, and the other party may not even pay attention to you. Get over what's under your feet.
Chen Dengming looked at the monks who were gathered together in Biandong City to discuss. Their worried and frightened faces made him feel that the swelling he had just built up due to the ten levels of Qi training was like a balloon being punctured. , the whole person shrank.
Now that I have come to this area where the Immortal Sect's forces are complicated, do I still think that I am on the border and am very good at practicing the tenth level of Qi?
But you must not have this mentality.
"Why do I feel that a small place is better? Although there are few resources, weak and novices fight against each other, the environment is also bad, chaotic and uneasy, but at least there are no Golden Core monks to stay there, there will be no Golden Core battles, only Foundation Establishment monks Don’t take action, I’m safe.”
Chen Dengming even had the idea of turning around and going back.
But this thought only flashed through his mind. He calmed down his mind, neither belittled himself nor panicked. He went to the market to rest and understand the situation.
It is impossible for Jindan monks to suddenly fight for no reason.
Once such monks start fighting, it may symbolize the confrontation between the two sects.
This problem is huge and may affect thousands of miles. It is normal for many monks to be worried.
Chen Dengming only hoped that it would not affect his ability to rush to the Changchun Sect and join the Immortal Sect.
As a result, after wandering around the city and asking around, all I heard was information of little value.
No monk in the city actually knew who the golden elixir monk was fighting against.
This kind of high-level monk fights too fast, and there is no communication throughout the process.
Or the communication is all between consciousness, and the weak are not qualified to hear it.
Many people didn't even see clearly how many monks there were.
Chen Dengming gathered his spiritual energy to see clearly with his eyes, but he could not see the specific appearance clearly.
Therefore, many monks in the whole city were blushing and their necks were thick, exaggerating a tense atmosphere, but there was no substantive content at all.
When Chen Dengming saw this, he gave up the idea of staying in Fangshi.
Before the chaos was complete and prices did not rise sharply, I immediately purchased a batch of spiritual rice and spiritual springs.
Then he left Fangshi and went on his way under the cover of night.
No matter what happens, whether there will be a war between immortal sects, you must seize the time and stay away from the danger zone before the fight starts completely, instead of staying where you are and making unnecessary speculations.
In the next two days, Chen Dengming harnessed the light of his sword and flew all the way.
If the spiritual energy is depleted, he will not hesitate to use spiritual stones to restore it and go on his way with all his strength.
Along the way, there were quite a few monks who were just like him, keeping silent and immersed in their journey.
Coming from all directions and from all directions.
But the direction they were looking at was actually the same as him.
It seemed that they were going to the territory of the Changshou Sect. They seemed to have received some news and were avoiding something, which made the atmosphere tense and depressing along the way.
Chen Dengming, with the idea of testing, asked several of the monks who were passing by.
Some people were cold and wary, and left without saying a word.
Some people only spat out a cold message, "The Mingyue Sect and the Wangyue Sect are fighting."
"Mingyue Sect and Wangyue Sect?"
Chen Dengming frowned and thought before he remembered.
Aren't these two sects the same sects that used to rely on Yingyue Sect?
Isn't this one of our own, and now we are fighting?
Does Ying Yue Sect not care about it or can't control it?
Although he was doubtful, he didn't dare to stay any longer.
Because more and more monks are coming from behind.
There are even some postures like mortal refugees fleeing famine, and the crowds are surging.
This also caused an atmosphere of panic to spread crazily.
Chen Dengming rushed in front of the crowd, holding the spirit stone in his hand and sprinting. Finally, one day later, he saw the two peaks representing the realm of longevity sect - Turtle Snake Peak.
There was a spiritual light surrounding the mountain peak, and there seemed to be several groups of monks patrolling.
Behind the mountain peak, there are several floating spiritual boats that look like huge ones.
On the spirit boat, the silk flag was fluttering. From a distance, the flag was embroidered with a dragon and turtle pattern, which was the sect symbol of the longevity sect.
"The longevity sect is good. It has a structure and has sent so many monks and spirit boats to the border to intimidate and form a shelter. This is good for the fleeing monks."
Chen Dengming suddenly felt relieved.
It is easy to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.
As long as you enter the realm of the Longevity Sect, no matter how stupid your two young brothers from the Mingyue Sect and Wangyue Sect are, it has nothing to do with him being a monk of the Longevity Sect.
