Huolian Mountain is the third highest mountain among the Tianhuan Mountains, with a height of more than 30,000 meters.
Huolian Mountain is not famous for its height. In the wilderness, the most rare thing is the high mountain. Huolian Mountain is famous because it is actually the ancestral land of the Fire Feather Tribe, the former dominant race in the Tianhuan Mountains.
At this time, there were many palaces on Huolian Mountain, but the creatures coming and going among them were no longer members of the Fire Feather Clan, but human beings.
Three years ago, the human race, under the leadership of the five domain kings, launched a blitzkrieg and quickly wiped out most of the kings in the Tianhuan Mountains, especially targeting the Fire Feather clan.
The human race has occupied Huolian Mountain for more than two years.
Since occupying Huolian Mountain, the King of the Five Regions seems to have settled here.
Without their supervision, the killing of netherworld creatures has also slowed down.
Because of the inaction of the King of the Five Domains, other mages from the Kong Nether Realm and even the Tong Tian Immortal Sect no longer risk their lives to fight with the Nether Beasts. They fish whenever they can, and the combat effectiveness of the human army seems to have weakened. A lot.
On this day, more than 100,000 meters above Huolian Mountain, Zhang Changkong was riding on the head of the Steel King, and he was looking at the sky.
Around the Steel King, storms form from time to time, and the power of the storm is by no means weaker than the rune spells of ordinary mages.
"In the mage realm, my flying height usually does not exceed 10,000 meters, and my spiritual consciousness will be weakened at 10,000 meters. I didn't expect that the sky is really that high. It is more than 100,000 meters, and I still haven't escaped the gravity of the wild world." , Zhang Changkong looked higher up in the sky, his spiritual consciousness spreading over, like light shining into turbid river water, not extending very far at all.
"What exactly is above?"
Zhang Changkong thought that if he hadn't been hit by the three-eyed black bull just now, he would have asked the Steel King to explore upwards. However, now, he is not in the mood. He is curious, but he is more confident about his own strength. Be self-aware.
"Going up to the sky, into the earth, or into the deep sea, maybe one day I will do it, but not now." Zhang Changkong put aside his curiosity and asked the Steel King to wait here, and he flew directly downwards.
Release protective spells while flying. At this high altitude, it is like the ionization layer, where powerful lightning will appear from time to time, and like the Gangfeng layer, where storms gather and disperse erratically.
"When I was a mage, luckily I didn't let my curiosity get the better of me. I usually didn't fly more than 10,000 meters. Otherwise, lightning and thunder alone would be fine, and the probability of being fatal would be low. But if I encounter an ancient beast on the road like the Steel King, That would be a real disaster." Zhang Changkong changed his thoughts and landed above Huolian Mountain. His consciousness swept over and flew towards one of the palaces.
When Zhang Changkong stepped into the palace, five people inside had already stood up to greet him.
"I've seen the Supreme Being!"
Su Muyan, Yi Bujun, Li Jin, Qi Jingbo, and Chu Duanyue surrendered one after another.
Zhang Changkong glanced at them and walked towards the upper seat.
He also understood the actions of these five people in recent years. If Guiyuan's attack was slowed down because of them and consumed Zhang Changkong's time, he would never let them go easily. However, the main reason why Guiyuan's strategy is not going well now is In addition to his own lack of strength, although Zhang Changkong looked down upon these five people, he was not too angry.
In other words, Zhang Changkong was not in the mood to be angry with some passers-by in his life.
"Okay, without further ado, the matter of the Gui Abyss seal will be put on hold for the time being. Two powerful ancient Nether beasts have emerged. I won't be able to do anything about it for a while. However, the five routes leading to the Gui Abyss are the same anyway. It took more than a hundred years to get through, so it’s hard to give up all of a sudden. If you stay, you can intercept the netherworld creatures outside the flowing light domain, and on the other hand, you can slow down the expansion speed of the netherworld creatures," Zhang Changkong said. Another reason is the fierce fire. Refining real gold, netherworld creatures can help the human race select the real geniuses. The sects in the Sky Blue Sanctuary not only fight with foreign races during the warlock stage, but also fight with immortal cultivators from other sects. This is all to select the elites. .
Tongtian Immortal Sect has so many warlocks. How many unnecessary vitality stones and various precious resources will be consumed to let them live to old age?
It's better to let them fight with the netherworld creatures. The real "chosen people" will probably not be killed by mere netherworld creatures. In other words, those who are killed by the netherworld creatures will probably not have much hope for survival.
This is not Zhang Changkong's cruelty, but the tradition of immortal cultivators. There is no period in the life of an immortal cultivator that does not require fighting. Just like Zhang Changkong, he did not fight all the way here. He killed corpses all over the field along the way. Cultivation to the current state.
Immortal cultivators are a symbol of the human race's force. An immortal cultivator who can't fight is simply a waste of the resources of the entire human race. It is useless even if he doesn't die.
Zhang Changkong naturally will not cultivate a group of immortal cultivators who are interested in "maintaining health". The immortal cultivators under him must be more sharp.
"I'm telling you this because of resource issues. Please sort it out. Now that the most brutal expansion period of the war has passed and entered a stable period, expenditures in all aspects will naturally need to be reduced," Zhang Changkong said. He did not want to waste time on trivial matters. , after returning, he thought that since he could concentrate on cultivation, it would be more appropriate to leave these things to the five of them.
Su Muyan stood up and said: "We originally had the magical spiritual plant Blood Lotus Seed to supplement the lack of vitality stones, as well as the three major formations of Tianlu, Qingxin, and Life. In recent years, the development of city defense equipment has also made great progress. Progress, not only that, our White Lotus Empire has also used white corn to cultivate black corn. Black corn uses the flesh and blood of nether creatures as nutrients. It has lower environmental requirements and has an amazing yield. Although its aura is not as good as that of white corn, it can supply ordinary soldiers. No problem at all.”
After a pause, Su Muyan continued: "We have spent so many resources in the past hundred years mainly because we have not had enough time to cultivate spiritual plants and black corn. If we make long-term plans, the blood lotus and black corn will be enough to offset most of the vitality stones. Expenditure, after a long time, there may be surplus, so it is not as difficult as imagined to turn a tough battle into a long-term one.”
Zhang Changkong nodded. As long as it didn't affect his cultivation and didn't require his involvement, he would nod no matter what Su Muyan said. She couldn't do anything wrong and let the White Lotus Empire collapse.
Zhang Changkong glanced at these five people and felt that he had nothing to talk to these people, so he immediately returned to Tongtian Peak.
"Okay, since there's nothing else, I'll go back."
"Wait a minute," Qi Jingbo couldn't help but say to stay.
Su Muyan and the five of them looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and spoke in unison.
"Please give me a way to break through. Although the methods of cultivating immortals are different from our sword training, we have no choice."
Hearing this, Zhang Changkong frowned slightly and glanced at Su Muyan and Yi Bujun. He had told them something about breakthroughs before. It seemed that they had found a different dimension.
Zhang Changkong glanced at the Huolian Mountains at his feet. He had felt before that there was a space similar to a holy realm in the Tianhuan Mountains. Could it be here?
