"There is no map to follow when we go here, but we must remember Yueshi Gorge and Yuxian Peak. Two hundred miles ahead is Yueshi Gorge, and Junior Sister Mo will meet you here. Go another three hundred miles to Yuexian Peak. I will be stationed at the peak. When you return, if you encounter danger, you can go to the two places to seek help. I will wait on the spot for twenty days, and Junior Sister Mo will wait for twenty-five days."
"Kongtong territory is a thousand miles in circumference. You can't travel all over the place within thirty days. After half a month, no matter where you arrive, you must return in time to avoid missing the departure deadline!"
"When you return, you will judge the final winner based on the elixirs you quarried and the strange beasts you hunted!"
"The weather in Kongtong is uncertain, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the miasma is reborn, making it difficult to tell the direction. Please pay attention along the way and don't get lost!"
"Last year, 90% of the disciples survived, and 20% of the disciples were selected into the inner sect. Although the Kongtong realm is dangerous, it also has countless opportunities. I hope everyone has good luck in this year's Yunchuan Heavenly Jue!"
"Ignore the casual cultivators and family disciples from all over the country. No one dares to provoke the Yunchuan Immortal Sect..."
On a hillside, Xin Jian and Mo Xiao were lecturing.
Mo Xiao and Xin Jian were explaining relevant matters and various taboos in Kongtong. As masters of the martial arts, the two of them did their duties conscientiously. One hundred and twenty-eight disciples gathered around and listened attentively.
Yu Ye looked around while listening to the two seniors talking.
This is the Kongtong realm.
The gathering place is a hillside. Behind you is the canyon you came from.
Separated by a canyon, it's like two worlds. Above the head, there is no warm red sun, but a gray sky, as if the sky has not opened its eyes. There are dense trees growing all around, as well as protruding rocks and bottomless ravines. Occasionally, a gust of cold wind blows, accompanied by a few piercing birdsong, which makes people's hair stand on end.
Loose cultivators and family disciples from all over the place also passed through the canyon, but did not stop. Instead, they disappeared into the mountains and forests in small groups.
Xin Jian and Mo Xiao had finished explaining and stood up on their swords.
However, the two of them did not fly high. They seemed to have some scruples. They were only more than ten feet above the ground. They avoided the rocks and trees and headed straight towards Yueshi Gorge and Yuxian Peak.
The disciples didn't waste any time and rushed forward one by one.
In an instant, only Yu Ye was left on the hillside. Even Bai Zhi left him, and no one walked with him.
Perhaps in Bai Zhi's view, although he has a magical past, Qizhou is not Daze, and Kongtong Realm is not Lingjiao Valley. His cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining alone cannot be compared with many immortal sect masters. Or maybe, there is another reason...
But Yu Ye felt relaxed all over.
He likes to keep to himself.
Just like this time.
But no one could be seen around.
Yu Ye tapped the ground with his toes and flew forward. Between the ups and downs, he jumped over four feet away. After practicing the techniques in "Yunchuan Secret Manual" and improving his cultivation level, his light body technique has also improved a lot. Without a map and no idea of the route, he only remembered the general direction Xin Jian and Mo Xiao told him, and he walked alone through the mountains and forests.
Half an hour later.
Climb a hill.
It can be seen that all kinds of herbs and elixirs are growing all around, and strange flowers are blooming, and the fragrance is astonishing.
Yu Ye fell down.
Continuing forward, you can go deep into the hinterland of Kongtong Realm. The disciples of Baichuan Hall should be busy looking for opportunities, so that no one cares about the spiritual herbs and elixirs all over the ground.
It actually gave me an advantage.
Let’s look for some good things nearby and return the same way in ten days.
Yu Ye made up his mind not to leave.
He also wants to become the winner of the Heavenly Jue and become an inner disciple. And since he was only eighteen years old and at the fourth level of Qi refining, he didn't care whether he could be admitted to the Divine Qitang. Now that we are in an unpredictable place, we want to escape unscathed.
Yu Ye rolled up his sleeves, took out his dagger, identified it for a moment, then squatted down, dug out various spiritual herbs and elixirs one by one, and put them into the storage ring separately.
He shuttled back and forth in the grass, busy and happy.
Some spiritual herbs and elixirs have only been seen in classics and should be quite precious.
I searched twice around the hill, and then extended to cliffs, rock crevices, ravines and nearby mountains and forests.
Unconsciously, the gray sky became dim.
In Kongtong territory, although it is difficult to distinguish between east, west and north, there are day and night.
Judging by the time, it was already evening.
Yu Ye sat on a stone in the ravine, looking at the gift ring in his hand with a satisfied smile on his face.
Dozens of spiritual herbs and elixirs were mined. Let’s rest here and look forward to more gains tomorrow.
Yu Ye raised his hand to create a restraint to seal the surrounding area, then crossed his legs, took out a spiritual stone and held it in his palm, focusing on it, breathing in and out...
At dawn.
Yu Ye opened his eyes from sitting quietly.
Although the Kongtong environment is dangerous and unpredictable, it was extremely quiet at night and no accidents occurred.
Yu Ye exhaled, put away the spirit stone, removed the restraint, jumped up, and walked around, feeling very energetic.
On the second day of Yunchuan Tianjue, we continued to mine spiritual herbs and elixirs.
After an hour, he was disappointed.
Maybe he had wiped out all the spiritual herbs and elixirs here. After digging up two astragalus plants, he found nothing more. We can't give up here and go for a walk deep in the mountains. Maybe we will find something else.
Yu Ye set out to search for it.
Around a hill is a forest. The tree, which is more than ten feet tall, stretches to the ground, and its trunk is so thick that even a few people cannot hug it.
Yu Ye looked around and walked into the forest.
Thick fallen leaves piled up in the forest, instantly covering your feet, and the rotting smell filled the air, making you breathless.
Yu Ye activated his magic power to protect his body and jumped up. He spotted a protruding tree root to land on, and then jumped as fast as he could.
Walking through the woods actually took two hours.
A sea of clouds blocked the way.
Not a sea of clouds.
Instead, it is a low-lying swamp covered with a thick layer of white mist. Although it looks like a sea of clouds, it does not have the charm of a beautiful scenery. Instead, it is full of faint murderous intent.
Miasma?
Wandering in the wild for a while, he turned to the left.
With the situation unclear, he did not dare to put himself in danger. The swamp is only about ten miles in radius, and you can go around it from one side.
The swamp is surrounded by cattail grass, which is as tall as a person, undulating with the wind like waves.
Yu Ye stretched out his arms, jumped up, tapped his toes, and flew away like a bird.
In just a few moments, we will be around the swamp.
Ahead is a wilderness, with dead trees splayed out and rocks scattered, making it very desolate.
Yu Ye Shang was looking intently, when there was a sudden sound of wind, and a black shadow jumped in front of him, with sharp teeth and a ferocious face. He hurriedly raised his hand to summon the dagger, and slashed out a sword light.
"puff--"
Blood splattered, black shadows fell to the ground, several rolled over, and disappeared into the swamp.
Yu Ye's castration was blocked, and he fell down, holding a dagger in his hand, the flickering sword light still hesitating.
What kind of monster is so scary?
However, it was difficult for his spiritual sense to see through the fog and swamp. He was shocked and did not know the origin of the monster.
"Gah——"
At this moment, a sharp roar sounded above the head.
In an instant, a black shadow fell like a flying stone.
Yu Ye took a step back and took action with his dagger.
The sword flashed, blood spattered, feathers flew away, and then with a "bang", something fell heavily to the ground. It turned out to be a big bird, resembling an eagle but not an eagle, similar to a hunting falcon in the mountains. Its wings were spread out for more than ten feet, and a bloody hole exploded in its chest. It screamed "quacking" but was not dead yet.
What kind of raptor is this? It actually carries out a sneak attack!
Another howl sounded.
Yu Ye looked up in shock.
Another big bird appeared in the sky, flapping its wings fiercely, then folding its wings, and swooped straight towards him.
Yu Ye was on guard and raised his hand.
The sword light was as fast as lightning, going straight for more than ten feet, and with a "pop", blood and feathers fell off. The big bird plummeted straight into the swamp, causing a cloud of mist to pop up. There was no movement after that, and it was obviously dead.
"Gah——"
Perhaps his companion died. The big bird from before gave a mournful cry, fluttered and struggled towards the swamp, and disappeared in the mist in an instant.
Yu Ye was stunned and lost his mind.
Two birds, one female and one male, either fly together in the sky, or end up in the mud together and share life and death. So loyal and strong, far beyond human nature.
However, they are two flat-haired beasts after all. If they had not met the monks, innocent people would have suffered!
Yu Ye raised his hand and made a move, and the sword light circled back. He grabbed the dagger and was secretly grateful.
The flying sword is still useful!
Especially when dealing with birds of prey in the sky, even if they are far apart, they can be killed with one strike, which saves him a lot of trouble and saves him a lot of trouble.
Yu Ye raised his head and looked into the distance.
The wilderness in front of us had no visible edge, and was at least tens or hundreds of miles wide. I didn’t want to go deep into Kongtong territory, but I have already reached this point.
Yu Ye hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and moved forward.
On the second day of the Yunchuan Heavenly Jue, we can't let it go. And where the swamp is, there is a poisonous miasma, and raptors and beasts are raging, making it inconvenient to rest. It's better to continue walking for two days, maybe we can dig out more elixirs, and then find a place to rest for half a month, and then turn around and return.
Not far away, I saw several long snakes lying in the grass, and various poisonous insects crawled among the rocks and dead branches.
Yu Ye activated the Tianlong Shield, and a faint cyan light emerged from his body. He suddenly flew up and walked through the wilderness as fast as a wind shadow...
Two hours later.
The wilderness finally came to an end, and a wide canyon appeared ahead.
Yu Ye landed on the hillside in front of the canyon and took a long breath.
Although the magic power protects the body and is immune to all poisons, walking through a hundred miles of wilderness filled with poisonous insects still made him dare not be careless in the slightest.
Yu Ye took out a pill and threw it into his mouth, turned around and ran towards the canyon.
There are two to three hundred immortal disciples and monks from various places who have entered the Kongtong Realm, but not a single person can be seen at this time.
The canyon is about a mile wide, with towering cliffs on both sides.
Walking alone in the canyon, I feel the emptiness and silence.
Yu Ye walked slowly for a while and found nothing unusual, so he accelerated the castration. And after more than ten miles, the canyon still has no end in sight. Just as he was in a hurry, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He stopped hastily, but saw several strange monks emerging behind him.
At this moment, someone was heard saying dissatisfiedly: "Are you Yu Ye? Why are you waiting for you for two days..."
