Xu Mochen and others, according to the map given by Mo Hun, began to search for possible spiritual veins and the roots of the Immortal Fate Tree.
After heading deeper into the destination, everyone discovered that there were actually quite a few immortal cultivators who came to hunt for treasures.
From time to time, you can see immortal cultivators in twos and threes flying past them with swords.
Tang Derun mentioned Liu Hao's words: "It is said to be a great opportunity once in three hundred years. It is most likely to find the entrance to the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital, so it is not surprising that there are so many people."
This is easy to understand. Immortal cultivators, whenever they have a chance to find a treasure, they will naturally want to give it a try.
They didn't come from Yueya, and they didn't know Xu Mochen and others.
But even the immortal cultivators at Yueya know that too many are dead and pose no threat to them.
A few days later, the group finally arrived at the place where the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital used to be.
It has now become a huge basin.
Called a basin, it's more like a large hole dug with a spoon on the originally flat ground.
For example, when eating watermelon, everyone likes to cut it in half and scoop it out with a big spoon. That’s how it feels.
It's just that this basin is so big that it's unimaginable.
Looking at the horizon that extends to the distance, even if I sweep away with my spiritual consciousness, there is no end.
The dragon clan itself is a large monster. Obviously, in ancient times, they lived in a large place.
However, compared to the cities of the Kunpeng clan that Xu Mochen had seen, the scale was still much smaller.
In addition to them, there are already many immortal cultivators here.
Most of them are done in teams. After all, one person’s strength is not enough to explore the ruined city.
Of course, there are also some who are accustomed to living alone.
Some were flying over the basin, some were setting up small-scale formation tests, and some were discussing something.
The secret has not been revealed yet, so there is harmony.
But looking at it like this, Xu Mochen thought that there was probably no "value" here.
The plums on the roadside are definitely not delicious.
But their purpose is to find clues.
The scene they saw in front of them confirmed their initial guess.
Looking at it like this, it really looks like the entire city has disappeared and "melted" into the cracks of the ascension passage.
Then, the spiritual veins and immortal fate that support the realization of this method are needed.
Tang Derun, Xiao Nanyan, and Luo Jia split up and inspected the entire basin first.
After coming back, everyone shook their heads.
"Everywhere I went, I only saw out-of-control fire." Tang Derun's situation represented the other two people. "There were also some ruins, but there was nothing unusual about the rest.
These ruins should be the foundation of the Qinglong Emperor's capital city.
Wei Chen looked at it carefully and found that even after so many years, he could still tell where the break was, and it was relatively smooth overall. "
Xiao Nanyan added: "Yes, looking at it this way, it should be a circular formation centered on a certain point in the imperial capital, and the main part of the city should be removed."
Luojia is a natural sect, and his consideration of the problem is even closer to reality: "Moving such a large city requires a huge amount of energy.
And such a large amount of energy cannot be supported by one immortal cultivator or one or two formations. "
Tang Derun and Xiao Nanyan also nodded.
"So," Xu Mochen felt even more strange, "could it be that all the immortal cultivators in the Azure Dragon Capital were involved in this matter."
"It's no wonder," Tang Derun said in his own opinion, "If you can escape the three thousand years of annihilation by entering the ascension passage, why not do it."
That said, Xu Mochen always felt that something was wrong.
"The problem is," Xiao Nanyan thought thoughtfully, "who came up with this idea? And how did they convince the immortal cultivators in the entire city?"
You know, in a social structure like Shifang World, individual actions are always easier than group descriptions.
The stronger the ability an individual acquires, the more choices he has and the less unified they are.
"Reason aside," Xu Mochen stood up, "No spiritual veins have been found here, and there are no traces of immortality. Could it be that our estimate is wrong."
Qian Ling put forward a different view: "The gap between the ascension of heaven is naturally a different time and space.
Now that the Azure Dragon Emperor has entered there, will the spiritual veins and the roots of the Immortal Fate Tree that belong to normal time and space also have to change. "
Others didn't quite understand. Xu Mochen was stunned for a moment: "You mean, there is an area with differences in time and space here, but we haven't discovered it?"
"The possibility is very high," Qian Ling has learned a lot about this since he came into contact with the theory of relativity. "What I understand is that this kind of time and space was not deliberately separated and created, so there is no trace of the formation.
The particularity of their existence is actually a natural change due to the different time and space in which the city is located. "
The rest of the people: Boss, what are you going to say?
Xu Mochen is a modern person after all, and he somewhat understands: "In other words, they are equivalent to the extension of time and space in the ascension gap, so the connection with the world here is very smooth."
"Well," Qian Ling nodded, "In this case, without touching the point, it will be difficult to detect any abnormalities."
In the world of immortal cultivators, if you want to create an independent time and space, you need many conditions.
No matter which one it is, it is probably inseparable from rare treasures or special formations.
And these can be superimposed using concealment formations, making them even harder to detect.
Common methods include hiding in a small place or a small world.
But essentially, they are all traceable.
In other words, if you encounter a stronger immortal cultivator, as long as you crack the detection, you will open the entrance.
But Qinglong Imperial Capital is not, it is because the main body is already in different time and space, and then those different time and space transition smoothly to the normal time and space.
Similar to gradient color, very natural.
Xu Mochen scratched his head: "So, ordinary magical powers are very difficult to discover."
Such a place may be as small as a dot.
"That's not necessarily true," Qian Ling comforted, "It's just a personal opinion. In fact, we need further verification."
Those who engage in research must be rigorous in doing things.
In this way, it is equivalent to several people searching the entire pelvic floor.
"Even if it is a smooth transition, there is still something abnormal," Qian Ling is an expert in this field. "What is perceived is not the time and space of a moment and a half, but the subsequent changes that may occur in a few seconds. .”
Tang Derun and others are already in a state of giving up.
Xu Mochen thought that only he, Qian Ling, and Luo Jia could handle this matter.
It's not from the Natural Sect, and I can't understand it even after explaining it for a long time.
"In this case..." He just started to speak, and suddenly felt the surroundings becoming restless.
Someone shouted loudly: "We found an abnormality, we found an abnormality over there!"
This shout immediately attracted the attention of a large group of immortal cultivators who came to explore the area.
It's a good thing, adventure and treasure hunting, I'm afraid there is nothing unusual.
"Really, what happened."
Immediately countless escaping lights flashed through, and the immortal cultivators flew over one by one.
It's not too far away from Xu Mochen and others. They don't need to go there deliberately to hear the conversation there.
The cultivator who first shouted looked excited: "Over there! It's over there!
The few of us must have touched some formation, and now a cave appears on the ground in the basin over there. "
When this news came out, the surrounding cultivators became excited.
Look, when luck comes back, nothing can stop you!
Xu Mochen and others looked at each other in confusion.
They are also old people, and they always feel that something is strange.
An opportunity that only comes once in three hundred years. From ancient times to the present, it has taken tens of thousands of years.
Well, why did it happen that at this time, it was their turn.
Things that go too smoothly must be weird.
"Your Majesty..." Tang Derun asked for instructions.
"Let's go take a look too," Xu Mochen suggested, "Maybe there will be additional discoveries."
No one objects to this.
Tang Derun and Xiao Nanyan naturally looked up to Xu Mochen, Qian Ling was dispensable, while Luo Jia was eager for any trouble.
However, there were many immortal cultivators going together. In order not to be conspicuous, Xu Mochen just followed them from a distance.
There is light escaping along the way, and there are also flight restrictions here, so everyone is not flying with swords, but just passing by quickly.
Not long after, Xu Mochen and his party also arrived at their destination and saw what everyone called the "cave".
It was really a cave. A huge hole appeared on the ground where the basin was originally.
The hole was very deep. Xu Mochen stood on the edge and swept down with his spiritual consciousness, but he didn't know the end.
Surrounding this large cave, stood a group of immortal cultivators.
"The opportunity that comes once in three hundred years finally comes to us." Some people couldn't help laughing.
Of course, immortal cultivators are not idiots. Some people questioned: "This is too coincidental."
"Yes, the Flame Mountain has been here for tens of thousands of years, and the predecessors have fallen one after another. Why has it suddenly changed now?"
"No, no, I think this is the result of luck."
"Yes, it should be the formation that hides the Blue Dragon Imperial Capital. After a long period of operation, it is about to stop now."
It makes sense to say so.
"That means it's an opportunity given to us by Heaven."
"Wait a minute, we still need to make things clear first. There is no unified power management in the Flame Mountain area. Now that the entrance has appeared, for the sake of caution, we cannot fight among ourselves first."
"Brother, you have great foresight and what you say is true."
People with insight put it forward, and everyone agreed.
So someone stood up and talked about the rules one, two, three, four, five.
It's nothing more than finding the treasure and dividing it up as you like.
Xu Mochen and others didn't speak, they just watched quietly.
There are also many inconspicuous immortal cultivators who are silently paying attention.
These days, being honest is the right thing to do.
Those outstanding young people who shout "Thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi" generally do not live for thirty years.
But it didn’t hinder the enthusiasm of the group of people in front of me.
Soon, there were specific work assignments, such as the first batch of brave men to enter the cave, the backbone of the second batch, and the rear.
When Xu Mochen and others arrived, the cultivator who assigned the task took a few glances and concluded: "You guys look like you have just ascended, and you know very little about the upper world of the clouds.
Let's do this. You are responsible for being vigilant here first. If there are any cultivators with ulterior motives, please notify us in time. "
Xu Mochen had no objection.
Seeing this group of people busy and in a lively atmosphere, no one would jump out to object.
When his attention was no longer on them, Xu Mochen came to Qian Ling: "How?"
Qian Ling is a master of relativity and is very sensitive to time and space.
"There is nothing abnormal," Qian Ling said confidently, "At least that's what it looks like so far."
"Your Majesty," Tang Derun also came closer, "The location here is quite a coincidence.
Wei Chen and Miss Xiao confirmed that this seemed to be the center of the basin. "
Xu Mochen knew this well: "If the imperial capital was based on the support of spiritual veins and immortal trees, then the construction of the city would be centered on it."
In other words, there is a high possibility that there are spiritual veins and fairy trees here.
However, according to Qian Ling's theory, the two are not in the same time and space as them.
It exists, but you just can't see it or touch it.
While they were talking, the immortal cultivators over there had already begun to lower their spirits in batches.
go.
Before long, there were only a few dozen people left outside.
Xu Mochen looked over and saw that these immortal cultivators who were staying outside like them were all calm and composed, and they obviously had their own plans.
Sometimes, those who rush forward are usually cannon fodder.
In addition, new immortal cultivators arrive from time to time.
There are also cultivators who are specially responsible for receiving and explaining. After the newcomers arrive, they can understand the situation clearly and decide their own actions.
Everyone was not in a hurry about how to distribute the treasures.
After all, Qinglong Emperor is a large city, and everyone thinks that there must be many treasures inside.
Definitely enough points.
Half a day passed like this.
The immortal cultivators who entered did not report anything strange.
As a result, some of the people responsible for guarding the outside couldn't wait any longer.
If someone starts, others will naturally follow, and soon, this group will form a circle.
Naturally, someone would take the lead in this kind of thing.
The leader was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, but he had a smiling face and a mellow personality.
He also spoke clearly and explained everyone's plan clearly in a few words.
There is nothing more to do than just wait here, so why not go in and take a look together.
Tang Derun and others looked at Xu Mochen.
"Okay," Xu Mochen nodded. He looked over and saw that there were more than a dozen people in the team this time. "Then you'll have some work."
The man was very happy and communicated back and forth for a while before gathering everyone together and preparing to enter the cave together.
A cultivator pondered for a while, then waved his hand to set up a formation near the cave.
It's not very powerful, but it can delay the discovery of the immortal cultivators later.
Xu Mochen quietly observed that these people inside were all in the Nascent Soul realm, but there was a difference between the early stage and the peak stage.
When working as a team, their respective tasks must be clearly explained in advance.
They also have their own small teams. For example, Xu Mochen's side has a larger number of people.
"Brother," the leader still smiled and asked for instructions, "you all seem to have extraordinary grace. We will discuss it and want you to sit in the center. I don't know what you think."
Neither good nor bad.
Xu Mochen didn't care: "No problem, we will try our best."
It's impossible to fight hard.
The leader didn't say anything.
The tasks were clearly assigned, everyone had their own position, a group formation was vaguely formed, and they began to enter the cave.
