In the country shrouded in night, the afterglow of the Tianhe River scattered all over the place with the light of stars, like fireflies in a summer dream, flowing among the night flowers, rendering the place with an indescribable ethereal illusion.
This is a shallow dream state, a place composed of individual cognition and soul.
Dreams for ordinary people are bound to be bizarre, even for monks. The fact that this dream world can exist stably, even if it has a sense of absurdity and illusion, is enough to show how powerful it is in dream attainments.
In the center of the dream, the figure on the high platform was motionless, as if resting.
This figure is Lin Chen.
He seemed to have fallen into a long sweet dream at this moment, his face was quiet and peaceful, as if he had fallen into a long sleep here.
During the final teleportation, in order to resist Tianhe's interference, he used his terrifying talent to induce the power of the dream to come.
Although he successfully escaped, in the process, as the host, he was entangled by the power of the three, and finally fell into this world constructed by the power of dreams, the afterglow of the Milky Way, and the Void Refining Talisman. Fantasy world.
Now he is trapped here. In order to escape, no, to be precise, in order to completely refine and control this place, he has to merge with it through long sleep.
If he can successfully fuse, then he can use the Void Refining Talisman as a carrier, evolve the world in his dream, and embark on his own Nascent Soul path, and the door to the Void Refining will be completely open to him.
Even in the future, as long as the imaginary is transformed into reality, and the illusory dream is transformed into the real world, then he will be the only imaginary immortal in this world for millions of years!
Of course, this process is also difficult and long, but taking the first step is more important than anything else.
However, it is not easy to integrate the power of these three and build a dream world with unlimited potential. It will probably take a very long time.
This time may be a month, half a year... or even hundreds of years.
Outside the dream, time is passing by at an unprecedented speed.
…
one year later.
Return to the ruins, in the fragmented world.
Amidst the endless and gloomy mountains.
The surrounding light is extremely dim and gloomy, and it is difficult to see sunlight all day long. Some plants and trees also grow in strange, twisted and ferocious shapes, vaguely looking like ghosts.
This is the location of the White Bone Gate in an area with a radius of thousands of miles. There is a golden elixir-level White Bone Demon inside, which is extremely feared by many monsters and monsters nearby.
But today, on this Bone Mountain, which is full of life and forbidden to the living, there is a huge and terrifying sword array taking shape, completely covering it.
Under the terrifying sword energy, even though the golden elixir and white-bone human demon inside struggled wildly, his body and even his soul were forcibly cut off by countless sword rays!
"Phew - this guy is finally dead!"
Seeing the skeletal human demon in front of him being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, Zhang Hao in mid-air finally showed a hint of pleasure in having his great revenge avenged.
A year ago, ever since he arrived here, in a fragment of the world among the ruins, he had been faintly targeted by the remaining will of this world.
Originally, he wanted to find a place to heal his wounds, but he was targeted by these monsters one after another, wanting to devour him to increase his strength. The white-bone demon even wanted to use him as a slave cauldron to take whatever they wanted.
In order to escape their pursuit, he suffered a lot. Now that he has regained all his strength, he will naturally come back to take revenge one by one and wipe out his entire family!
"Is this the opponent's White Bone Golden Elixir?"
Zhang Hao stretched out his hand, and a spiritual elixir that looked like a bone relic and exuded a faint coercion flew into his hand.
He played with the bone relic and asked lightly:
"Shu Lao, you said you can use this object to create a magic weapon that can cover your own aura?"
"That's right, you can use the souls of the creatures in this world to refine a magic weapon to cover your own aura, so as to avoid being targeted by the remaining world." Shu Lao reminded, "This covering process must not last long, otherwise it will be The world here is secretly assimilating.”
"I understand." Zhang Hao nodded to express his understanding.
Shulao seemed to have thought of something, hesitated and said:
"By the way, there is one thing I must explain to you first."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Zhang Hao, who was about to leave, was suddenly startled when he heard this.
"...You can practice the golden elixir in the fragments of this world, but when you break through the Nascent Soul, it's best to return to the main world." Shu Lao hesitated and said.
"Why is this?!" Zhang Hao frowned upon hearing this.
After what happened before, he didn't know how dangerous it was to go back, not to mention that the fragments of this world were also not small, and even contained the Nascent Soul Demon, which showed that there was no shortage of resources for a breakthrough.
If that's the case, why would he go back?
"Returning to ruins is not as simple as you think. Storing the remains of the world is only one of its functions. It also has something even weirder..."
"And now the fragments of the world you are in are in ruins. Although they are constantly rising under the influence of the Tianhe River and integrating into the original world, this is after all..."
After listening to this, Zhang Hao probably understood what it meant.
It was Shu Lao who felt that there were hidden dangers in breaking through here, but he didn't know where the problem was, so he reminded him.
But it doesn't matter, he is not the kind of person who doesn't listen to advice. Since the first treasure in the family has said so, he will do it.
Thinking of this, he flashed and disappeared on the Bone Mountain.
…
More than ten years later, over the sea area where Lin Chen and the two left.
The vast blue sea has disappeared, and in its place is a small, vibrant continent with a lot of people on it.
On the central mountain range of this new continent, Zhenjun Xingxiao and Master Lingyuan stood side by side, looking at the vast land below the mountain.
"The middle-level spiritual veins have been successfully migrated, and a large number of human races have been released everywhere. Next, it is time to discharge the polluting black mist into this place." Zhenjun Xingxiao said calmly.
"Is this... really going to be okay?"
Master Lingyuan, who was originally extremely supportive of this experiment, seemed a little worried at this critical moment.
After all, if something happens, the first one to bear the brunt will be his Lingyuan Island.
"Wealth is sought in danger. Besides, since we have already made a decision, how can we change our mind at the last moment?" Zhenjun Xingxiao sneered and said, "What's more, this is not a request, but... an order."
Master Lingyuan fell silent upon hearing this and did not say another word.
Zhenjun Xingxiao paid no attention to him, but pinched the seal in his hand, and a mysterious wave surged out from his palm.
In an instant, the black mist that had been imprisoned for more than ten years in the sea near the mainland suddenly lost its restraint.
The next moment, the black sea of fog was like a hungry beast. The clouds and waves were rolling, covering the sky and the earth, and eroding towards the mainland layer by layer!
In just a moment of contact, the blue water turned dark and smelly, floating corpses and mutated beast species squirmed and crowded together, and the silver-white beach was stained with a stain that looked like mildew...
On the continent, under the thick black mist, the vegetation withered, countless animals and plants underwent mutagenesis, and those who came into contact also let out shrill wails and screams...
When it came into contact with the spiritual energy emitted by the underground spiritual veins, even more bizarre distortions occurred, and countless terrifying evil things were born.
There are sticky, sludge-like bloody flesh masses, there are thousand-faced ghosts with thousands of malicious faces, illusory and pale, and grave demons composed of countless corpses...
Shrouded in black mist, strange distortions are occurring everywhere on this small continent.
Even the light of the sun and moon in the sky, under the influence of the black mist, turned into a hazy and bloody color one after another, revealing a strange ominousness.
And the people who have lived here for more than ten years, with a population of millions, have experienced real terror and despair.
The pollution of the black mist, the strange things that mutate, the curse of the dead... if they come into contact with each other, heavy casualties will be considered light.
And they can only passively accept this and cannot escape from here.
Because at this moment, on the periphery of this continent, above the nine heavens, there was a steady stream of spiritual energy falling down, eventually forming a terrifying formation, sealing away all methods, isolating the interior in one fell swoop, and cutting off their hope of escape.
"You are optimistic about this place. Every ten years, the alliance will conduct a human race injection and monk exile to ensure that the experiments can continue."
In the sky above the outer reaches of the continent, Zhenjun Xingxiao looked at this tragic scene with no emotion on his face.
After all, for her who has a lifespan of nearly thousands of years, a mortal with a lifespan of less than a hundred years is just like an ant that lives and dies, which really does not arouse sympathy.
Not to mention that these released human races have been polluted by the black mist before. Although they still look like humans, they are essentially in a half-life, half-death, half-human, half-demon existence. They are not human races at all.
So she would naturally not show any mercy when she took action.
"Yes." Master Lingyuan took the order.
Zhenjun Xingxiao glanced at him and gave another instruction:
"You stay here and pay attention to whether there are any clues about the two people who escaped back then. If you find any, please contact me in time!"
More than ten years ago, the Tianji Sect in Middle-earth received the news and immediately rushed to investigate as quickly as possible. For this purpose, a Nascent Soul-level elder from the sect was even dispatched.
However, after using various means to detect it, and even forcibly asking people from the Dead River Sect to assist, in the end they only came to the conclusion that it was not in this world.
The Alliance Zhongtian pilots speculated that they had either hidden in the outer domain or fallen into Guixu. They were unable to pinpoint their specific location, so they could only give up temporarily.
However, the two opponents have also been put on the wanted list of the Immortal Alliance. Once they reappear in the inland sea, they will inevitably be fully hunted by the Immortal Alliance.
"Follow the order."
Seeing this, Zhenjun Xingxiao nodded, said nothing more, and turned around to leave.
…
Fifty years later, the edge of Lingnan.
The place where Lin Chen used to experiment with inner alchemy was the Daqian Dynasty, and the people of Taiping Road, the successor force, walked out of the boundless snow-capped mountains and entered Lingnan.
They explored the situation here and accidentally discovered monks from the Taoist Academy affiliated to the Qingyun Sect who came to recruit spiritual root disciples.
"You mean, in three days, a so-called immortal master will come here to recruit mortals who have spirits, spiritual roots, etc.?"
"That's right, and I heard that they also have to hand over something called a spiritual stone."
"Immortal master, spiritual root, spiritual stone?" The Taiping Dao man repeated these words, hesitated, and said, "In that case, let's wait here for a few days to meet the so-called immortal master."
"good."
Three days later, the Immortal Master came as promised, and the people from Taiping Dao were also ready to take action.
At this moment, the method of inner alchemy and the practice of refining qi and cultivating immortals were based on the same theory. They walked on two separate paths, but they had the same purpose. On this day, the contact and collision began. .
…
More than thirty years later, Lingnan was the place where the gods fell.
Originally a place with clear distinctions between life and death, like the yin and yang poles where the gods fell, at this moment, it turned into an endless, dark red and cracked land.
Countless cracks are spread across the earth, and the color of the earth is like long-dried blood. The entire earth is like the skin of a scorched corpse covered with cracks and death marks, and it is indescribably creepy.
And in the center of this place, stood a naked, lifeless person, with dark red and chapped skin. Just standing there caused the area thousands of miles around to fall into a high-temperature hell, and even the air was like this. A twisted and boiling strange figure.
It is none other than the Lord of the Demonic Cave in the northwest—Han Ba!
Over the course of decades, he finally refined the remaining origins of the place where the transformed god fell, and successfully transformed into the son of the Drought Demon!
At this time, Hanbao stood on the ground, his pupils exuding a permeable death wish suddenly turned and looked at the open space aside:
"You're here, demon."
The next moment, a voice that could not distinguish between male and female suddenly appeared:
"You have completed your transformation, now it's time to fulfill the deal."
"Are you ready to [reverse the overall situation of Yin and Yang Feng Shui in the world]?" Han Bao's skinny face moved.
"The number of blood sacrifices has reached five times and can be started at any time! But just in case, and to clear all obstacles, we need to get rid of the East China Sea Immortal Alliance first!"
Hanbao sneered after hearing this, not sure if it was a sarcasm or what he meant:
"Are you kidding me about destroying the East China Sea Immortal Alliance? The other party has been fighting with our demons for millions of years and has been passed down to this day. How can it be destroyed so easily?!"
"The Nanhua Dream Sect was destroyed in the hands of this Demon Lord, so why is it impossible?" The male-female voice said coldly, "Not to mention that this Demon Lord has been planning for so long, with the help of the Lingnan incident, the two parties will be transformed. The battle power of Shen Tianzun is out of balance, which is enough to give us an opportunity to take action!"
"You and I are restraining the Taixuan Yueling in our own bodies, and the one from the Hunyuan Five Elements Sect is restrained by the Mountain Lord. Even my clone has reached the battle strength of Tianzun, which is enough to join forces with Jiao Emperor, but if I want to keep Canghai holding Tianhe, I almost Impossible!" Hanba said in a cold tone.
If nothing could be done, he would never expose this clone.
"Don't worry, the ultimate goal of the Tianhe Sect is contrary to the other immortal sects of the Immortal Alliance. The two seem to be at odds. We don't need to deal with Canghai. This Demon Lord has his own way to deal with the Tianhe Sect." Tianmo said, "We just need to deal with it. , only Shenxiao’s righteous way!”
"Is it just Shenxiao's righteous path?" After hearing this, Hanbao's dead and stiff face showed a trace of human doubt, and then he seemed to think of something, and his pupils suddenly shrank, "Could it be the [Dead River]... "
"That's right." The Demon said calmly, "'He' has already agreed to cooperate with us."
"Jie Jie Jie, it's really the Alliance of Heavenly Destroying Immortals..." After hearing this, Han Ba was silent for a moment, and then a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his thin face, and he said coldly, "In that case, let's do it Bar."
As he spoke, his entire figure disappeared directly from the spot, and disappearing with him was a vague, illusory figure between the intersection of dream and reality.
And not long after he left, a change occurred.
Although it has gone through decades of restoration, the Lingnan Immortal Cultivation World has returned to its former splendor, and its aura concentration has even increased.
But the place where the transformed god fell is still the main source of Lingnan’s spiritual energy.
But now the origin of this legacy has been refined by Drought Demon, and the remaining power has also been contaminated by corpse poison.
The spiritual energy it decomposed, carrying the terrifying corpse poison, spread throughout Lingnan through the thousands of miles of wind channels, and integrated into the bodies of many monks.
This leads to a complete outbreak of zombie disaster.
…
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.
Over the past hundred years, there has been no major crisis in the Immortal Alliance.
On the contrary, due to the gradual opening of the Age of Discovery and the successive victories in the World Fragments Conquest in Guixu, the number of monks increased exponentially on the original basis and became more and more prosperous.
Various spiritual ships traveled between the Middle Earth and the East China Sea. The huge fleet covered the sky and formed a golden thoroughfare for prosperity.
On the waters of the East China Sea, there are not only high-altitude spirit boats, but also a large number of wooden ships traveling on the vast sea surface, continuously transporting resources such as hardware, spiritual minerals, and low-level elixirs back to the East China Sea through the golden waterways. inner domain.
In addition, several Heavenly Lords from the Immortal Alliance secretly indicated that during the battle with the East China Sea Dragon Palace and the exploration of the Outer Domain and Guixu, the intricate clan forces in the sect or other affiliated forces would be secretly attacked, weakened, and given to the new generation. Channels for monks to advance.
So now, after tens of thousands of years, the Immortal Alliance seems to be about to win a golden age of development.
But no one knows whether this is another spring after the prosperity or the last twilight before the dark age.
But it is undeniable that at present, the era of great strife seems to be coming.
Regardless of the changes in the situation or the turbulent undercurrents, they have all condensed in these hundreds of years.
And in that night dreamland, the afterglow of the Milky Way has dissipated, turning into a sky full of stars dotting the sky.
The talisman as red as blood completely disappeared, forming a natural pattern etched between his eyebrows.
Lin Chen's sleeping face remained motionless, quiet and peaceful, as if he would sleep forever, and as if he would wake up the next moment.
But at this moment, in this country that seemed to have fallen into eternal sleep, there was a creature that woke up first after sleeping with Lin Chen for a hundred years.
That was the natal spiritual insect refined by Lin Chen—the mother insect of the earth and earth worms.
