Nine years later.
The Shenshuo flew alone in the storm, tirelessly, but still could not see the end.
Experienced the tribulation of ferocious beasts.
Qin Sang and Liuli were more cautious and tired than before, and they took longer to rest each time.
In addition, Qin Sang came up with an idea.
Since there are living beings living in the storm zone, are there other unknown existences?
With this idea in mind, Qin Sang would walk around each shelter every time he had free time.
If he does this, even if he does discover something, the high probability of harvesting it is not chance, but danger.
With Qin Sang's temperament, every risky move would be carefully considered, and he would weigh the gains and losses first, and would not do such a thing with almost no gain.
However, he never tired of it.
It’s not about waiting for an opportunity.
Originating from the desire for knowledge, the desire for the unknown world of mystery!
In the vast and boundless storm zone, what Qin Sang could explore was only an insignificant area, which was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
In fact, he did not make any new discoveries, and he did not even encounter a second vicious beast.
In the divine shuttle.
Qin Sang woke up from trance and put away the magic flag in her palm.
More than twenty years of hard work have paid off, and Qin Sang devoted almost all of his energy to "Fire Golden Lotus".
In the Zi Mansion, the fire lotus was obviously larger and deeper than before. It was originally in the shape of a fire lotus seed, but now it gradually outlines the outline of a black lotus.
"how much longer?"
Qin Sang blurted out and asked Liuli who controlled the divine shuttle.
In fact, the chart is right in front and you can see it at a glance.
Liuli didn't wake him up, which meant that everything went well on the way. Through the training time, he could basically determine the current location of Shenshuo.
However, Qin Sang still asked Liuli habitually because he had nothing to say.
If he didn't take the initiative to speak, I believe Liuli could easily remain silent for a hundred years.
I don’t know whether her temperament is innate or whether it was formed after undergoing drastic changes.
"An hour."
The glazed red lips parted lightly, still cherishing the words as if they were gold.
better!
Qin Sang nodded secretly.
Before, Liuli would only answer questions that she thought were meaningful. She would probably reach out and point to him on the chart at most, but now she can respond.
An hour later, what arrived was not Zhongzhou, but the next shelter.
Qin Sang did not enter meditation again to practice, but took over the Shenshuo and let Liuli rest.
The scenery is the same and I have long been tired of it.
Qin Sang was bored and driving the shuttle, while he was thinking about what the next shelter would look like and what kind of surprises it could bring them.
Along the way, he saw various shelters which really opened his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed by, and the shelter was in sight.
Qin Sang put away his chaotic thoughts and looked ahead.
Liu Li felt something in her heart and opened her eyes.
As the Shen Shuttle flew forward, the storm ahead gradually became thinner.
Immediately afterwards, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the scene of the shelter was displayed directly in front of them without any obstruction.
Qin Sang and Liuli were stunned immediately!
blue sea, blue sky.
A vast expanse as far as the eye can see!
A strange barrier separates the inside and outside into two completely different worlds.
One chaos, one peace.
Within the barrier, although it will still be affected by the storm belt and the violent storms continue, the momentum and the degree of chaos are incomparable with the storm belt. It can be called a pure land!
They were all too familiar with this sight.
Any cultivator who has been to the border area between the world of cultivating immortals and the storm zone will be familiar with it.
Qin Sang and Liu Li looked at each other with surprise and confusion in their eyes, and they both looked at Haitu.
So vast!
So peaceful!
Is there a world of cultivating immortals ahead?
Why is there no special marking on the chart?
Along the way, there was no mistake in the chart.
'Ugh! '
The Shenshuo flew out of the storm zone easily and entered the world shrouded in blue sky. It was as if all the chaos was stripped away from them. The long-lost feeling made both of them feel inexplicably relaxed.
"Is it really the world of immortality?"
Qin Sang was full of doubts, and when he looked around, he found that the world was far wider than he imagined. The previous largest shelter was just a mountain range.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Qin Sang cautiously stopped the shuttle and said thoughtfully: "Let's go on foot and find out where it is first. There may be immortal cultivators here."
It's easier to cover your tracks when you're on foot.
The two people immediately left the divine shuttle, raised their feet, walked on the sea, and swept forward slowly and swiftly.
Qin Sang put his consciousness under the sea and found traces of fish and shrimp, which proved that there was life. This place was completely different from those dead shelters.
After flying for a while.
A black shadow appeared on the sea level. As expected, it should be an island.
From a distance, you can see the greenery on the island and the birds jumping in the forest.
The two slowed down, concealed their figures, and approached the island.
Qin Sang didn't sense any special aura, so he went to the island and traveled around. He didn't find any immortal cultivators, but he found some unusual traces in a jungle.
"This was once a place where humans lived."
Liuli landed between two big trees and said with certainty.
She waved her sleeves and swept away the weeds and dead vines, revealing a damaged stone wall. She also unearthed pottery pots and other utensils under the soil, which were obviously traces of intelligent creatures.
However, looking at the desolate scenery here, it seems that it is a relic from many years ago.
"There is indeed someone! At least it's an intelligent creature!"
Qin Sang said in a deep voice.
This discovery alone separates this place from those shelters.
The two stopped for a while, continued to set off, and found several more islands.
After careful search, they discovered the remains of suspected human settlements, but without exception, they were buried under the lush jungle. After erosion, they had almost integrated with nature.
They found birds, animals, fish and insects here, a natural balance and full of vitality, but there were no humans!
These islands are separated from the storm belt by some distance and are not greatly affected by the storm. For mortals, the island is very rich in resources, so why was it completely abandoned?
The two people's doubts became more and more serious, so they speeded up.
"Arrived on land!"
Qin Sang said softly.
A shadow appeared on the sea level again. Unlike before, the edges of the shadow could not be seen at both ends, which was far from comparable to those islands.
The feelings between the two became increasingly strange.
No matter how picky the people here are, they can't abandon such a large continent, right?
However, the islands on the edge of the continent are the same as before. They seem to have been abandoned for thousands of years and are deserted. This is so unconventional.
Based on various signs, Qin Sang and Liuli thought of a possibility, and their expressions became more and more serious.
'Whoosh! Whoosh! '
They flew across the sea and landed on the mainland.
From a high position, you can see the endless green carpet.
on land.
The mountains are undulating and the peaks are towering.
Rivers are surging, and hundreds of rivers flow into the sea.
Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, wild animals are roaming wildly.
Underneath the stunning scenery, there is another kind of deathly silence.
Near the coast and along the rivers, these extremely fertile places, but no matter what, not a single city, not a single village, not a single person can be found!
"The spiritual energy here is very thin."
Liuli looked around and talked about what she found.
Qin Sang nodded and added: "There are no immortal cultivators and no monsters. This is understandable. Where have the humans who originally lived here gone?"
As he spoke, Qin Sang's figure suddenly fell sharply and landed at the intersection of mountains and rivers, a fertile plain.
As expected, there are ruins nearby!
Qin Sang flew around the ruins and was surprised to find that this place was supposed to be a city, and it was definitely a great city in the mortal world.
Today's capital city of Sui Dynasty is nothing more than this!
The wooden buildings in the city have long since decayed, but there are still many traces preserved, including some stone walls and stone walls.
Of course, this ruin is no exception. Most of it is buried in the soil, and the exposed areas are covered with weeds and vines, and are extremely weathered.
Qin Sang tried to find traces of the war to no avail and expanded the search scope.
Soon they found the ruins of other cities. The reason why it was so easy was that these cities were very dense. You can imagine how prosperous they were back then.
But it has all become history.
They were no longer limited to exploring the ruins of mortals, but began to look for traces of immortal cultivators, observe the earth's geomantic omen, follow the changes in spiritual energy, and explore spiritual veins.
Gradually penetrate deeper into the mainland.
The two of them did not search deliberately, but later discovered many city ruins. As they went deeper and deeper, they finally sensed a place in this barren world that was considered good for low-level immortal cultivators.
This is already deep in the continent.
All the nearby spiritual veins converge in one direction. The chance of natural formation is very small. It is probably formed by artificial transportation of spiritual veins!
They refreshed their spirits, quickened their pace, and left.
Soon, a mountain range came into view, like a prone dragon, hiding the wind and gathering energy, it was a beautiful place.
Qin Sang and Liu Li paused slightly, staring straight at the highest peak of the mountain range.
This peak is so tall and dangerous that it is the highest peak they have ever seen.
The most peculiar thing is that there is a tall stone monument standing on the top of the mountain, which is the most eye-catching thing here.
'Ugh! '
Qin Sang and Liuli landed in front of the stone tablet.
There are words on the stone tablet.
Iron painting and silver hook.
Qin Sang waved his hand and tore off the vines covering the stone monument. When he saw the whole scene, his figure suddenly solidified like a sculpture.
"There once was a civilization here."
Simple handwriting, calm tone.
What Qin Sang felt was extreme sadness, as if his heart had been beaten hard. The ruins flashed across his mind, and his breath almost froze.
There once was a civilization here that was extremely prosperous.
Today, civilization...is extinct!
In the jungle, beneath the loess, lies the only trace of this civilization.
The wind on the top of the mountain was so strong that it felt like a knife cutting my face.
Qin Sang stood quietly, unable to speak for a long time.
Stone tablet.
I wonder if it is the last chapter of this civilization.
Or passers-by like them, the tombstones erected for this civilization.
When he learned that the entire world was an endless storm zone, and that the world of immortality they were in was protected from destruction by an external barrier, Qin Sang unconsciously came up with an idea.
What a despair it will be the day the barrier is destroyed!
The barrier here was not destroyed, but the civilization became extinct for unknown reasons.
These Nascent Soul monks seem to be standing on top of the world, but in fact they have not yet been able to get out of the prison. How different are they from the civilization that is trapped and destroyed here?
No imagination is as shocking as seeing the facts with your own eyes.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
It's true what you say.
"call……"
After a long time, Qin Sang let out the breath that was accumulated in his chest and looked at Liuli.
Liuli stared at the stone tablet and pursed her lips tightly.
After spending many years together, Qin Sang understands Liuli's temperament. Her expression only appears when she makes important decisions or is emotionally agitated.
Qin Sang bowed to the stone tablet and said softly: "I'll go look elsewhere."
As expected, there were traces of suspected immortal cultivators around.
The cultivation level of the immortal cultivators who want to come here will not be too high, and the restrictions left behind cannot exist for so long, and there must be passers-by who have been here earlier than them, even if something is taken away.
Qin Sang looked around, but unfortunately found no other records.
Why civilization became extinct is a mystery.
Qin Sang returned to the stone monument. Liuli's expression had returned to calmness and she bowed deeply to the stone monument.
The two set off in silence.
It was always like this between them, but this time the atmosphere was more solemn than before. Even with their temperament, it will take some time to digest.
This is the smallest and most barren world of immortality that Qin Sang has ever seen.
They searched every corner but found no one.
Nothing was found.
None of them want to stay here anymore.
On a deserted island, the two stopped to rest. They had not experienced any battle, but they were more exhausted than ever.
Qin Sang adjusted his breathing slightly, opened the corpse bag, called out the mute aunt, checked her condition as a habit, and helped her issue the bone curse and sort out her qi and blood.
After finishing these tasks, Qin Sang found that Liuli woke up at some point and was looking at him.
Liuli hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "She...is your Taoist companion?"
Having been together day and night for more than twenty years, Liuli had already met the dumb aunt, but this was the first time she asked about her.
Qin Sang smiled, put the mute aunt back into the body bag, covered her five senses, and then said: "Her name is Jin Liuying, and she is kind to me. I originally wanted to put an end to the cause and effect, but unexpectedly she was implicated by me and suffered a disaster... …”
Qin Sang sat cross-legged on the ground, recalling his first experience of entering Canglanghai, and told Liuli the story of him and his dumb aunt in detail.
Liuli sat upright and listened carefully.
"At the beginning, out of morality and guilt, I vowed to do my best to save her, but later I discovered that the Heavenly Corpse Talisman is not that simple. I collected all kinds of corpse methods, but I tried my best but was unable to do anything, so I have been in vain until now.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect her to persist until now, and it’s not normal.
“I could feel her struggling in the darkness, on the edge of being lost, desperately clutching at every fragile straw.
"It's unimaginable what kind of faith and how strong it is to allow a girl who was only in the Qi refining period to persevere until now. During this period, she even saved me once..."
Qin Sang sighed, gently touched the body bag, and said firmly: "She is still fighting for her life, how can I give up? As long as she persists, I will try my best to find a way to save her! I go to Zhongzhou, hoping to save her. Turning point. After entering Zhongzhou, I hope the fairy will help me keep an eye out for the ghost mother."
While listening to the story, Liuli had been very calm and seemed to be fascinated by it.
Eyelashes trembled slightly, Liuli raised her eyes slightly and turned on Qin Sang's face.
Nod heavily.
"good!"
