"You kid, you really think it's no good and you can't afford to go early." Master Changqing touched his beard angrily.
But then, he seemed to understand something, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and a look of loneliness mixed with relief appeared on his face:
"But it's normal if you think about it carefully. Although you are different from that lucky boy Zhang, you are still an amazing and talented person. How can you be willing to be trapped in this small Lingnan land for your whole life? You will definitely go out in the future. Before that, it is indeed normal to be more prepared.”
Outside Lingnan?
When Lin Chen heard this, his eyes moved and he asked directly without hesitation: "Grandmaster, do you know any news about the land outside Lingnan?"
Among all the records of information that the sect had opened to Lin Chen, the descriptions outside Lingnan were extremely vague, so he simply asked Master Changqing directly.
"Well... outside of Lingnan, the sect's records on this are generally not informed until you reach the golden elixir level..."
Hearing this, Master Changqing showed hesitation on his face, but then he said:
"But it doesn't matter. With your ability, it will be a matter of time before you reach the Golden Core. It doesn't matter if I tell you in advance."
After saying this, Changqing Daoist waved his sleeves and his spiritual light flashed, forming a screen as high as a person in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, as if a paintbrush was drawing out of thin air, mountains, rivers, spiritual veins...all the terrain were drawn on this fluorescent screen, and finally formed a vast topographic map of Lingnan!
On this map, it is clearly divided into two poles of Yin and Yang. One is the mountains, forests, and lakes that exude a gloomy blue light, and the other is the vast plains and wastelands.
Looking to the northwest, you can see the endless mountains. Looking to the southeast, you can see the East China Sea beyond the map!
This is the current map of Lingnan’s land of immortality!
"As you can see, this terrain, which is like the poles of Yin and Yang, is the territory of our two major forces, Qingyun and Xuanyin." Master Changqing said.
"Beyond Lingnan, is it on the mountains to the northwest, or to the coast to the southeast?" Lin Chen asked.
"That's right." Master Changqing nodded, "According to the inheritance information collected by the sect from the place where the gods fell, those going to the northwest are the [Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range], and those going to the southeast are The location of [East China Sea]!"
"[Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range], [East China Sea]?"
Facing Lin Chen's puzzled gaze, Master Changqing explained: "According to the inherited memory, the continent we are on is roughly divided into several regions."
"The north is the [Northland Grassland] and the [Arctic Ocean], the west is the [Western Desert], the south is the [Ten Thousand Demons Mountains], and the South China Sea and the eastern sea area are collectively called the [Eastern Sea]. As for the center of the continent, it is the center of the world of immortality, the place where everything originates - [Middle Earth]!"
[Northland Grassland], [Arctic Ocean], [Western Desert], [Ten Thousand Demon Mountains], [East China Sea] and [Middle Earth], this is the terrain layout of the entire world of immortality in this world.
"So according to this, our current location is between the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range and the East China Sea?" Lin Chen thought for a moment, and then said.
"That's right." Master Changqing confirmed this statement, but then sighed lightly, "But because we are caught in the cracks, our position is very bad."
"Expanding from the land south of Lingnan, whether it is the southeast coast or the northwest mountains, within a radius of nearly ten thousand miles, there are places with few or even no spirits."
"Even if we leave this soulless land and reach the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and the East China Sea, these places, in the inherited memory, are where the [Demon Court] and [Dragon Palace] are located."
"In that kind of place, not to mention the Great Golden Core Demon, even the Nascent Soul Demon King is not uncommon, and there is even the legendary God-Transforming Demon Saint. When we and other human monks go there, we are simply looking for death."
"So if you want to go out, it will be almost impossible to rely on the strength of the Lingnan monks alone, unless you rely on external help."
"This..." Lin Chen's heart sank when he heard this.
He did not expect that there would be so many difficulties in going outside the world of immortal cultivation in Lingnan.
Let’s not talk about traveling through that soulless land. Even if he does, how should he deal with the [Demon Court] and [Dragon Palace] in the future?
You know, in places like that, there are many Nascent Souls and transformed gods and monsters. If he wants to break through with the cultivation level of Jindan, he is simply looking for death!
'But I have the Instant Thousand Miles Talisman in my hand. Maybe I can use it to try to go out...'
Considering the current difficulty, Lin Chen pondered it secretly in his heart, and the first thing he thought of was the Void Refining Grade treasure in his hand.
Although the name of the treasure in his hand is the [Ephemeral Thousand-mile Talisman], Lin Chen does not feel that a top-notch talisman of the Void Refining level can only affect a thousand miles. Maybe he can tap its potential deeper.
'But for now, we should deal with the battle in the Lingnan Immortal Realm first. As for going out, maybe things will turn around by then...'
Thinking of this, Lin Chen retracted his thoughts, but he did not stop the topic. Instead, he continued to ask, hoping to get more information in order to be fully prepared.
"Then Patriarch, besides the continent where we are located, are there other worlds for cultivating immortals?"
"Other worlds of cultivating immortals?" Master Changqing looked at Lin Chen with some doubts, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he thought for a moment and replied, "No, in this world, there is only the world of cultivating immortals in our continent."
Immediately, Master Changqing pondered again and continued: "But I learned from my memory that it is said that in ancient times, there were seven continents and five oceans in this world.
But the ancient monks used their great power to move the continent and integrated it into one. From then on, there was only one continent in the world. "
Seven continents and five oceans?
Why does this sound like an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?
However, before Lin Chen had time to think about it, another word spoken by Master Chang Qing attracted all his attention.
"Ancient monk?!" Lin Chen's face became solemn at this moment, "Ancestor, there are records of ancient monks in the inheritance memory of the sect's self-transformation god?!"
It's no wonder that Lin Chen attaches so much importance to it. You must know that everything now, whether it is the alchemy array, weapons, skills or secrets, were created by ancient monks with great perseverance and perseverance.
Not to mention the ascension of spiritual energy and the opening of the Heavenly Avenue to complete the self-sublimation of the essence of life.
It can be said that the ancient monks were the true founders of civilization and the founders of all laws.
This type of character is simply a terrifying existence that combines strength and wisdom.
But even so, these characters have disappeared in the long river of time.
Originally, Lin Chen thought that the information about them was a secret buried in ancient times, but he did not expect that there would be such a record in the Qingyun Sect? !
But if you think about it carefully, it's quite normal.
After all, even though the Qingyun Sect’s current highest level of cultivation is only the golden elixir, its inheritance comes from the Transformation of Gods. He is the pinnacle existence in the world, so how could he not know the secrets of the ancient times?
Master Changqing gave Lin Chen a strange look: "This is something from ancient times. Why are you so curious about it?"
"Knowing where we come from and where we are going, I think this is also the meaning of our cultivation." Lin Chen replied.
Master Chang Qing was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Lin Chen blankly for a while, and then whispered softly: "You are full of curiosity about everything. You kid, you are really like me when I was young..."
After sighing for a while, Master Changqing finally straightened his expression and said: "The inherited memories obtained by the sect contain very few records about the ancient monks, only a few pieces of information."
"What we know so far is that the ancient times were the most prosperous period of the civilization of cultivating immortals. In that era, Nascent Souls were everywhere, golden elixirs were not as good as dogs, and even god-transforming monks were everywhere."
"At that time, the ancient monks not only ruled this world, but also made an expedition to the outer world and plundered countless supplies from the outer world."
This...sounds quite normal. A powerful civilization will inevitably conquer all the worlds, but how did it perish later? Did it encounter any strong enemy?
Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked: "Then, what happened, and why did it become like this?"
"I don't know the specifics, but according to the inheritance, the end of the ancient era seems to be due to a horrific [magic disaster]." Master Changqing said.
After hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown, and there was an inexplicable feeling of familiarity in his heart. He subconsciously asked: "Could it be that the ancient monks went on an expedition to the outer world, encountered an unmatched powerful enemy, and then fell into destruction?"
Although this sounds a bit ridiculous and does not match the power of ancient monks, Lin Chen is not unable to understand it.
But what Lin Chen didn't expect was that what Master Chang Qing said next was far beyond his expectations.
"No!" Master Changqing shook his head and denied, "It is true that the end of the ancient era was due to a demonic disaster, but it has nothing to do with the ancient monks!"
"Huh?!" After hearing this, Lin Chen had a look of confusion on his face, "Grandmaster, what does this mean?"
What is the end of the ancient era and has nothing to do with the ancient monks?
Master Changqing met Lin Chen's gaze and continued: "The meaning is very simple. Before the demonic disaster that ended the ancient era, all the top ancient monks had collectively...disappeared!!!"
"Missing?!" After hearing this, a look of surprise finally appeared on Lin Chen's face.
"That's right." Master Changqing said in a deep voice, "They just disappeared without a trace. Even before the demonic disaster that was close to annihilating the world, they never appeared again!"
"Even in the millions of years to come, no monk will know where they are going!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown deeply: "Then does anyone know the reason why they disappeared?!"
"No one knows about the inherited memory of the transformed god, but..." At this point, a hesitant and strange look appeared on Master Changqing's face.
"What's wrong? Just what?" Lin Chen couldn't help but asked when he saw the strange expression on Master Chang Qing's face.
Master Changqing was silent for a moment, and then continued: "No one knows the reason for their disappearance, but before they disappeared, the other monks heard the same words from the top monks."
"What words?"
Having said this, Master Changqing's expression became rarely entangled, and doubts, puzzlements, and weirdness appeared one after another.
Finally, he said with a strange expression: "Those monks, from the top ancient monks, all heard this sentence in unison, and they all said-"
"[Reiki cultivation itself does not exist]."
