"Fish and water?" Chengshuo looked confused.
The city lord did not rush to give an explanation, but just asked: "I don't know, has my fellow Taoist fished in the sea, or has he seen others fishing for deep-sea fish?"
Although Chengsheng has never caught fish, as a time traveler, he has seen many such scenes.
He nodded immediately and said, "I've seen it before."
The city owner continued: "In order to adapt to the underwater environment, deep-sea fish often evolve extremely powerful stress-resistant physiques, which allow them to ignore the huge pressure in the deep sea."
"But there are pros and cons."
"Deep-sea fish that have evolved stress-resistant physiques have formed a delicate balance with the deep-sea environment."
"If you take it out of the deep sea, this balance will be disrupted."
"As a result, deep-sea fish will not adapt to the shallow sea environment, causing their bodies to swell. In rare cases, their bodies will even burst and die on the spot."
After listening to the city lord talk up to this point, Cheng Sheng had a rough idea.
He took advantage of the situation and said: "So what the senior means is that in order to not be affected by the curse of the Tianshan Secret Realm, the senior has already evolved a physique that can resist the curse."
"This kind of physique allows senior to survive in the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain. But at the same time, it also prevents senior from going to other places?"
"It's not absolute." The city lord said: "It is definitely possible to go to places outside the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain, but you can't stay for too long."
"In about a month, you have to return to the secret realm and recuperate for nearly a year before you can fully recover."
"Furthermore, my strength will be affected to a certain extent during this period, so I will not leave the Tianshan Secret Realm easily if necessary."
For the city lord, this special physique has already involved his personal privacy.
He was willing to tell the whole story, so he directly cupped his fists and saluted, with a hint of respect in his tone: "Thank you, senior, for answering my doubts!"
"It's okay, we just have a casual chat." The city lord continued: "Seeing that your attitude is not bad, let me tell you another secret!"
Survive as if you are all ears.
Ni Li and the others also looked at the city lord respectfully.
The latter said: "The secret realm of Tianshan is not the only one affected by the curse and pollution."
"The entire Xuanwu Planet is actually being engulfed by curses and pollution. You can neither see nor touch it, but it does indeed exist."
"The entire Xuanwu Star??" Chengshuo asked in shock, "So in what specific ways are the contamination and curses of unspeakable creatures manifested?"
"Countless and endlessly killing terrifying beasts?"
"Or is it an unknown force that can drive people into madness?"
"Both, not even limited to these two ways of expression." The city lord replied: "We humans understand the indescribable as 'creatures'. This is just for the convenience of describing and describing it, or it is wishful thinking. That’s all.”
"In fact, the indescribable is neither a living thing nor any substance that exists in the world. It is an existence that we humans cannot understand."
"And the pollution caused by this kind of existence is beyond what we humans can understand."
"We don't understand the mechanism by which pollution and curses are generated, nor how they operate, nor how to resist them."
"In short, pollution and curse are beyond the control of mere humans."
"So if you want to survive, you have to be like me and the monks in Tianshan City and evolve a physique that can adapt to pollution."
"Either, find a way to escape from Xuanwu Star."
Escape?
Chengshuo originally thought that only the area within Daliang Kingdom was truly contaminated.
But I never thought that the entire Xuanwu Star was already in danger, and the Liang Kingdom was just one of them.
A leopard can be seen in a tube.
Chengshuo asked: "What if I don't escape from Xuanwu Star, but just hide in a special space that has been opened up? For example, inside the ancient immortal ruins."
"It has no effect." The city lord replied: "The pollution caused by indescribable creatures is based on the planet."
"If a planet is polluted, all areas on the planet, including the sky, land, oceans, and even the small worlds created, will also be polluted."
"It's like the small world of heaven opened up by the ancient immortals thousands of years ago."
"The pollution of unspeakable creatures first broke out in the heavens."
"At first, the ancient immortals did not realize the serious consequences of the pollution outbreak because they felt that they could transfer from the small world of heaven at any time."
"But soon, the pollution spread from the small world of Heaven to the secret realm of Tianshan across space."
"Then the ancient immortals began to panic."
"And when the pollution spread from the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain to the mortal world, the ancient immortals fell into complete madness."
"Pollution first broke out from heaven?" Chenghuo was stunned when he heard this: "Because of what?"
"I don't know." The city lord shook his head and said: "I only know that the heaven is not as good as the secret realm of Tianshan."
"Because there is a fish-man clan in the Tianshan Secret Realm, and my Tianshan City exists inside the Tianshan Mountains, plus there are foreign monks entering from time to time to practice, so many of the dangers have been gradually eliminated by the monks."
"And heaven is deserted. Countless pollutions and curses are raging in it, and it is full of unknowns and dangers."
"That's really where no one can go."
The city lord reminded Chenghuo and others with a serious look on his face: "So, when you reach the top of Tianshan Mountain, don't get the idea of 'going to the heaven to take a look' out of curiosity."
Legend has it that there are two gaps on the top of Tianshan Mountain.
One of the gaps leads to heaven.
The other one can transport the monk back to the mortal world.
"Oh, right."
Finally, the city lord added: "There are still about a hundred years until Xuanwu Star is completely contaminated by the curse."
"This time will only be postponed, not brought forward, so you have time to respond in advance, and there is no need to start worrying now."
"Okay, that's all!"
Maybe I feel a little tired.
Having said this, the city lord waved to Chenghuo and others, with a hint of loneliness in his tone: "If you want to drink and chat, just come to me directly at the city lord's mansion."
"The Tianshan Secret Realm is only a small place, and nearly one-half of it is occupied by murlocs, and the space inside Tianshan is even more limited."
"If you stay here for a long time, you will inevitably get bored."
The city lord was chattering while slowly walking down the tower.
Looking at the city lord walking away, Lei Lei whispered: "I think this city lord is actually quite good. How about we go and sit in his city lord's mansion? After all, he is also a monk in the deep dive stage, and It’s not a bad thing if he builds a good relationship, right?”
"No, you must be on guard against others." Ni Li refused: "No matter how fanciful what others say, no matter how good-hearted they are, they cannot be easily believed."
Out of caution, after a brief exchange with the city lord, Chengshuo and his party left Tianshan City.
Strange to say.
Cheng Huo and others obviously want to climb to the top of Tianshan Mountain and go to higher places, but the interior of Tianshan Mountain is all flat land as far as the eye can see.
In this way, everyone traveled nearly a day and a night.
Just when everyone was wondering if they were going the wrong way, they suddenly saw countless white lights emerging from all around.
And as time went by, the surrounding white light gradually became more and more dazzling, as if it was about to swallow the entire world.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When the white light gradually dissipated and everyone could see the scenery around them clearly again, they found that they had reached the top of a high mountain.
Not surprisingly, this place is the legendary 'Top of Tianshan Mountain' leading to heaven.
I did a visual inspection.
This large platform on the top of Tianshan Mountain is about the size of half a basketball court.
Looking down from the edge, one can only see countless clouds and mist, but cannot clearly see the scenery below, let alone how high the top of Tianshan Mountain is.
At one end of the top of Tianshan Mountain, there is a silver-white circular gap.
On the other end, there is a golden oval notch.
Of these two gaps, I think one of them leads to the mortal world, while the other gap leads to heaven.
There are no wild beasts or ghosts guarding the two gaps, and no monks are occupying them and demanding tolls.
Anyone can pass through these two gaps.
only
"broken."
Looking at the two gaps on the left and right, Ni Li frowned and said: "Does any of you know which of these two gaps leads to the mortal world? These two gaps, before we enter the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain, Mr. Li seems to have never mentioned it, right?"
