"To put it bluntly, why did we end up in the Black Tower? Is it really we who made a mistake? In fact, it's not the case. Sometimes, because one person in the family makes a mistake, everyone in the family will be implicated and expelled from the upper world. , but the people in the upper realm don’t want the people in the lower realm to know about the upper realm, so they built the Black Tower to imprison those of us who were exiled from the upper realm.”
"Then who has the final say in the upper world?"
Qi Dong sounded a bit like the feeling of ancient imperial power. Anyway, one person is under one person and above tens of thousands of people. A single thought can determine the fate of everyone.
"I don't know much about this, but the Seven Holy Cultivation Lands definitely have the right to speak."
"Seven Holy Cultivation Lands?" Qi Dong heard this and kept the name firmly in his mind. He planned to visit these so-called Cultivation Holy Lands if he had the opportunity to go to the upper world in the future.
"Yes." Ning Rou nodded, but then changed the topic: "As we mentioned just now, the lower realm is filled with people who used to have low cultivation talents or no cultivation talents. But why are you still here? How can one have such a strong cultivation talent?"
"Well, I'm also curious about this. It seems that not all of the people taken away by the first generation were taken away, but some of the talented ones were left here." Qi Dong said slowly.
"Wrong." Ning Rou stretched out her index finger and shook it in front of Qi Dong.
"The first generation was not so kind. If he didn't drive out all the people in the lower realm, he would be extremely merciful. And the reason why you are able to practice is because of one person. She left part of the cultivation rules in the lower realm."
"Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the lower realm is not strong, it is still there after all. Over time, you slowly have the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to absorb, so practitioners slowly appear."
"but--"
Having said this, Ning Rou paused and said helplessly: "You probably don't know the realms of cultivators yet, right?"
Qi Dong shook his head when he heard this. He really didn't know, and no one had told him, and his cheap teacher just led him in. If he practiced, he still had to rely on himself.
"The realm of a cultivator is divided into the realm of receiving Qi and the realm of forming pills. After forming pills, there is concentration. After concentration, there is soul gathering. After gathering souls, there is cave. After cave, there is emptiness. After emptiness, there is emptiness. Overcoming the tribulation."
"As for after the tribulation, I don't know. Very few people in the upper world have reached the tribulation state..."
"That's too far." Ning Rou suddenly sneered, shook her head, and continued to face Qi Dongdan: "The peak of the realm in the lower realm should be concentration. As far as I know, there should be no one who can break through to the soul gathering realm, because once Breaking through the Soul Gathering Realm will attract the attention of the upper world, and may even be pursued by the Upper Realm. Moreover, breaking through the Soul Gathering Realm requires consuming a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The current spiritual energy in the lower world cannot support a person to break through to the Soul Gathering Realm. territory."
"I see."
Qi Dong nodded when he heard this. He was a little curious about what state the old man was in. Is he the pinnacle of the lower world? Or has it reached a level that the upper world cannot tolerate?
"Okay, it's still a bit far to tell you this now. My purpose is to let you understand what we are doing now and what our future goals are."
"Okay, thank you very much, Sister Rou." Qi Dong quickly thanked Ning Rou. It can be said that listening to your words today is better than ten years of reading.
He didn't expect that there was some truth in cultivation.
While they were talking, the sky had darkened. The old man quickly opened the door and walked into the room, throwing several roast chickens and a bottle of wine on the table.
"Come on, let's all have something to eat together. I've put it into practice for you." The old man invited a few people to sit at the table, and he lit a few candles first.
"There is no electricity in the mountains, so we can only have candles to light up the situation." The old man smiled at everyone, and then invited them to eat chicken.
I have to say that the roast chicken the old man bought was very good. Both the texture and taste of the chicken were the best among the roast chickens he had ever eaten.
As soon as the first bite of the chicken leg entered his stomach, Qi Dong suddenly realized that something was wrong. The whole place had become a zombie pasture outside. How could there be anyone selling roasted chicken?
The old man seemed to notice Qi Dong's doubts and grinned: "Yes, this is what I baked myself."
"Damn it, you still have this skill?" Qi Dong exclaimed, and then joked with a smile: "You have this skill, no wonder you can't starve to death without a wife."
"Shit! Have you learned how to tease teachers now?" Originally, the old man was happily waiting for everyone's praise, but he didn't expect that Qi Dong suddenly said such a sentence, and the mood suddenly changed, and everyone looked at him strangely.
After touching his nose, the old man muttered: "There is a reason why I don't have a wife."
"What?"
The old man's voice was very low. Qi Dong was busy eating roast chicken and didn't even hear what the other party said.
"It's okay, just eat yours honestly!"
The old man tilted his nose angrily and drank the wine in front of him in one gulp.
Qi Dong originally wanted to have a drink with the old man, but when he thought that he would be leaving on a mission soon, he gave up this plan.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone had almost eaten. The old man stood up awkwardly, looked at Qi Dong and said slowly: "Okay, the time has come, you should set off."
"Okay!" Qi Dong nodded when he heard this, and then slowly said: "Let's go."
Ning Rou and others also stood up, washed the oil stains on their hands, and then stood beside the old man.
"This mission will be very dangerous. Each of you must come back intact. This is my only request for you."
"yes!"
After hearing the old man's words, everyone nodded very seriously and looked at Qi Dong.
"Good teacher." Qi Dong stood in the middle of the crowd as his last statement.
"Okay, you go hand in hand. If I use the teleportation technique, there may be a risk of failure, so the most stable way is to hold hands. No one will be lost in the turbulence of time and space. Otherwise, once lost, it will never be lost again." Might be back."
After hearing the old man's words, everyone quickly held hands. Qi Dong felt a little nervous. Although he had heard of this kind of space teleportation technique before, he had seen it inside and had never encountered it in reality. However, this time he was finally going to truly experience the art of teleportation. How could he not be excited?
As he said that, the old man put the pendant given by Huang Yang into Qi Dong's hand and quickly drew a charm on the ground.
Qi Dong and Ning Rou looked at it with big eyes and small eyes. They couldn't understand what the old man was drawing. It was probably the work of a cigarette. The old man stopped writing and stopped working, and then made a hand gesture with one hand.
In an instant, a strange phenomenon occurred.
The moon in the sky seemed to have felt the call of the old man. A bright moonlight shone down from mid-air and shone on the bodies of Qidong and the others. The symbols drawn with ink-colored brushes seemed like They were given life and were beating rhythmically in front of everyone.
"It's really amazing."
Qidong and others suddenly had such an idea in their minds.
But before they could react, the scene in front of them suddenly blurred, and the next second they plunged into the turbulence of time and space.
call!
The old man took a few deep breaths. It was obvious that teleporting so many people at once took a huge toll on him.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the old man raised his head and looked at the moon hanging in the sky and smiled: "With Qidong's qualifications, it should be enough to deal with that person."
After saying that, the old man stood up with a stoop, looked into the distance and said: "They should still need to go through it for a while. It seems that I have to leave early and go to Blind Man Gao. After they finish their work, I will teleport directly to Blind Man Gao."
This is the most time-saving way, and now, there is not much time left for them.
Thinking of this, the old man jumped up and disappeared into the air.
On the other side, when Qi Dong and others regained their sight again, they were already in a desolate desert.
Fortunately, the place they came from was a desert, so when they fell from a high altitude, they fell directly on the soft sand and did not fall directly to death.
It would be fun if it weren't for sand here, and they would probably have to stay in bed for the next few days.
"Is this the place where Huang Yang lives? Why is the environment so bad?" Everyone looked at the yellow sand around them in disbelief. It's no wonder that Huang Yang has the ability to control the yellow sand. He is exposed to this kind of environment every day. If it were anyone else, He will develop that kind of heaven-defying ability.
"How do we find Huang Yang?"
Yaoyao asked curiously. They were in good condition now, but if they were in such an environment full of yellow sand for a long time, even if they were all cultivators, they would die of dehydration.
They can go without eating for several months because of the profound energy in their bodies, but it is absolutely impossible for them to go without drinking water for three days. Unless they have become gods, they will definitely die.
"I don't know." Qi Dong shook his head. He had no experience in surviving in the desert. Looking at the yellow sand all around him, he sighed helplessly: "Let's find a water source first, or find a place where people live. Let's find out. .”
"good!"
Hearing Qi Dong's words, Ning Rou and others nodded. They had unknowingly regarded Qi Dong as the core of the entire team. Even Qi Dong himself did not notice this.
But this desert is really too big. There is nothing around except yellow sand, not even dead trees or green plants growing in the desert. It can be said to be a complete no man's land.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Qi Dong felt that his mouth and clothes were starting to get dry, so he stopped, looked at the people around him and said, "I can't do it anymore. Let's rest for a while. If we keep walking like this, I'm afraid we won't find it before we can find it." The source of water will die of thirst first.”
Several people nodded after hearing this, and even if Qi Dong didn't say anything, they would have shouted stop.
