In the central and northern part of Manzhou, Yinhui Senze and Jiuyan Mountain traverse the east and west. Wan Sheng Sect members rarely go north, and the northern monks have no intention of going south.
The outer edge of the swamp area.
In front of Xue Tong's eyes, there is an endless swamp, wetland, pond, mud, shrubs and grass, with no end in sight.
The Yinhui Senze is more than 20,000 miles wide, and there are countless monsters and birds. It is impossible to protect the flying boats from being torn into pieces, so they have to cross it on foot.
The eagle stands five feet tall and has a wingspan of fifteen feet wide. The giant bird is not suitable for flying low at all.
Xue Tongteng said that the air mass on the sole of his feet was like a large cotton pad, and when pressed lightly against the mud of the swamp, he could fly more than ten feet.
He was aimless, just wandering around.
The shrubs become taller and the sparse trees increase.
Xue Tong went thousands of miles deep, but saw no human beings, encountered many birds and beasts, and rested in the woods in the middle of the night.
The forest was extremely dark and dark, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, with only a hint of starlight and moonlight shining through.
Xue Tong released the Bone Puppet and the Violent Ape. The two pets' gloomy and sinister aura far surpassed the aura in the forest. Venomous snakes, insects and ants were unable to avoid them. They rustled and crawled away in a hurry.
Several days in a row.
Xue Tong walked through the forest, where there were broken trees and thatch on the east and west of the pond.
"Such an environment is indeed not suitable for long-term living. No wonder there is no one in Morisawa."
While thinking about it, the rotten wood not far away suddenly came loose, and a large, colorful centipede emerged.
Xue Tong flicked the fire beads with his fingers, blasting the innate centipede into ashes.
…
Close to Morizawa Central District.
The levels of monsters and birds have increased, and high-level master monsters and poisons are frequently seen.
Xue Tong suddenly noticed a boat rowing in the marsh stream more than a hundred feet away.
Xue Tong suddenly appeared by the stream.
The second cultivator on the wooden boat, wearing a straw hat, cloak and leather armor, stood up in shock.
"What are you two doing?" Xue Tong asked.
"...following the demon fish...the Taoist priest passed by?"
Xue Tong's spiritual pressure was completely gone and he appeared and disappeared. He should be very human. The older monk replied politely.
"Stalking the demon fish?!"
Xue Tong didn't believe it, and the sharp light in his eyes glanced at the two of them in turn, slowly releasing his spiritual pressure.
In the middle stage of cultivating heaven and human beings, I shivered several times in succession.
"Senior, have mercy on me. We heard the legend and came here together." The two monks knew that they were encountering a demon and it was important to save their lives.
"Where did it come from? What legend?"
"We are monks from Manbei. There is a legend for more than a hundred years: there is a mysterious place in the middle of Yinhui. This opportunity should not be missed."
"At least a hundred people have been to Yinhui. They either disappeared or were scared back. We have been here for half a month and really don't dare to go east again. We have been wandering around for the past few days, wondering whether to leave." The older monk said.
"Is there a suspicious location?" Xue Tong asked with his heart moving.
"We spent tens of millions on the mysterious map circulated in a small area in Mangbei."
"Oh, what do you mean, I can make a copy for ten million?"
"I don't dare, but I would like to show my respect to my seniors." The monk took the jade slip and handed it over.
Xue Tong pondered for a moment.
The red area is drawn on the map, with a radius of more than 600 miles, and the edge is 300 miles away.
"This picture is roughly scrawled. Hundreds of people have seen it over the past hundred years, but Yin Hui's secret has never surfaced. It can be seen that this picture is of little use. However, since I have seen it, I will make a copy." Xue Tong left the blank. Hold the jade slip close to the picture slip and recite the incantation.
Fluorescence floats, and the copy is completed in a blink of an eye.
Xue Tong threw back the jade slips and added a bag of spiritual stones, "I'll let you two return some copies. Is one million enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough. Senior is such a good person." The two cultivators took the things and hurried away.
A mere million, if you want to kill some birds and beasts, Xue Tong won't be able to rob them.
…
Xue Tong entered the red zone.
He really doesn't think much of the usefulness of maps. It has been circulated for hundreds of years and has been read by thousands of people. How can it be of great use?
But once you come, make peace with it. If you happen to be passing by, it doesn't hurt to take a look.
The red zone was safer than expected. Xue Tong slowly searched for hundreds of miles and only saw innate-level monsters.
He was extremely careful and took a break in the woods as night fell.
The ancient trees were towering into the sky. Xue Tong took a break and started searching again. Not long after, Chi Jin's eyes found the warning talisman in the grass and green shrubs.
Xue Tong's heart trembled: "The red zone is more complicated than expected!"
"Warning Talisman Martial Saint level, there is a high-level presence in the red zone."
Xue Tong's mind turned sharply, and a terrifying idea emerged in his consciousness.
He quietly withdrew, fled thousands of miles away, and started searching frantically in the forest.
A few days later.
Xue Tong tracked the demon leopard at the level of Heavenly Man and intercepted it halfway.
Jungle leopards feed on capybaras, crocodiles, marsh wolves, etc., and are extremely ferocious.
But in front of Xue Tong, there was no possibility of escape.
The demon leopard slapped the palm to test, Xue Tong controlled the force and hit the leopard's claw with a light fist.
The demon leopard howled and fell out with a somersault.
As soon as he landed, Xue Tong's palm slapped his head.
The demon leopard fainted on the spot.
Xue Tong grabbed the leopard, stuffed it into his pet bag, and ran away all night.
Back in the red zone.
Xue Tong took the leopard out of the bag and placed it gently near the guard.
Soon the demon leopard woke up, roared lowly, struggled to get up, triggered the warning, and limped deep into the dense forest.
After about half an hour, a figure flashed in the forest, and then the demon leopard howled miserably, kicked its legs and died.
Xue Tong saw it and realized that the person's cultivation level was about the middle stage of the Martial Saint.
"It's a friendly approach. Xue worked hard to track the monster, but he didn't expect someone to take advantage of him." Xue Tong approached with a few ups and downs, and laughed.
The expression of the monk in the forest suddenly changed.
Xue Tong's appearance was obviously beyond his expectation.
"Fellow Taoist are also here to explore the red zone?" the monk said coldly.
"Yes, it is said that Morizawa hid a major secret and killed people one after another. Xue couldn't help but be curious and came here to take a look."
The monk was in his fifties, dressed in dirty clothes, and looked around.
"No need to look, it's just Xue." Xue told him what he was thinking, just to confirm how many people were here.
"Farewell!"
Although Du Que was one level higher, Xue Tong used the leopard to lure him and came prepared, so it was better not to cause a conflict.
Xue Tong ejected the Wing Fire Bead.
Du Que swerved to avoid it.
Xue Tong's fist shadow followed closely, and Du Que had no choice but to palm him.
"Bang!"
Du Que's arms were sore and numb, and his energy and blood surged. He used the force to fly out, and the wind blew under his feet and he fled at full speed.
Xue Tong must not let him escape.
Du Que worked hard and had to worry about his powerful subordinates, so he must have laid a number of traps. Once he escaped and was lured into a trap, the consequences would be disastrous.
Xue Tong's pulse surged wildly, and lightning leaped over a hundred feet as he stepped on the ground, approaching Dugu. The cloudy sky swept across, and the halo covered the thirty-foot space.
Du Que soared to the sky and jumped onto the towering ancient trees.
The giant trees were all cut off as soon as the sharp edge reached it.
Du Que jumped up and down, only escaping but not fighting. Xue Tong's escape technique was only a small victory and he was unable to use all his attacks.
In the blink of an eye, after chasing a hundred miles, the light in the dense forest became increasingly dim.
Du Que is not "indispensable to kill", and it may not be worth the risk to go deeper.
Xue Tong looked at the figure thirty feet away, lamented in his heart, and slowed down Jueying's pace.
…
Xue Tong walked through the night and walked out of Senze.
"If I can't kill you, I might find your accomplice!"
Xue Tong estimated that the monks in the forest had accomplices who sold pictures to seduce the warriors from Manbei, killing people, selling off their viscera, and dividing their viscera.
Xue Tong bypassed the small city and entered the big city of Dengucheng.
He went straight into the largest spiritual shop and asked about Yinhui Morize.
"Do you have a map of Morizawa? There are many legends. I would like to buy some maps to look at."
The map is only a side business of the spiritual object shop. The shopkeeper was not interested and pointed to a corner of the attic. "There are indeed many legends, but they have no results. There is a volume of 50,000 spiritual stones. The Taoist priest can choose for himself."
Xue Tong flipped through stacks of volumes.
Most of the maps had no markings, and a few had lakes, streams, mountains, and woodlands marked on them. Xue Tong originally planned to browse through them for a while, and on the pretext that the atlas was of poor quality, he asked for "good maps" and asked about the red-marked maps.
It looked like he had read through dozens of volumes.
Xue Tong inadvertently touched another thin volume.
The album is quite old. When Xue Tong opened it and took a look, he was suddenly stunned!
He could almost hear his own heartbeat.
The painting style is very similar to the most important treasure painting I have ever seen!
Yuhan Taoist Temple, Immortal Realm Wall Picture!
Xue Tong's sea of consciousness was almost blank. After taking a breath, he stabilized his thoughts. Fortunately, there was no one around him, and no one noticed his brief gaffe.
"The bookshelf of the spiritual objects shop actually hides such a treasure!"
"The Immortal Realm Picture has been kept silently for thousands of years right under the eyes of the world!" Xue Tong thought to himself.
He pretended to take twenty volumes of maps. The shopkeeper glanced lazily at the old books that had been neglected for a long time and took the money without saying a word.
…
Guest house.
The Yin Hui Picture is not the original one. It has been copied and scattered across the vast north.
Xue Tong heard from Luzhou Martial Saint Xiao Qianfeng that a picture of the realm of immortality was revealed in an ancient book.
But since it is not the original, there is no theory of development.
Xue Tong circled around the picture and pondered it over and over again.
In the shallow swamp area southeast of Yinhui, there is a small, seemingly casual stain.
If it were not known to be related to the realm of immortality, no one would pay attention to it.
Xue Tong left the store overnight.
At dawn the next day, we arrived at the vast swamp.
There is two feet of shallow water, covered with duckweed and grass, and underneath it is dozens of feet of mud.
Xue Tong rode an eagle soaring three thousand feet into the sky, looking down at the earth with his red gold eyes. He compared the picture scroll to determine the location of the stain.
Then it dug into the mud like a loach and groped forward.
The mud blocked the Gang Demon's protective layer, and the darkness blocked all sight. Xue Tong's perception was raised to the highest level, sensing the existence of the mana device.
He worked in tens of thousands of acres of mud ponds for two days without stopping.
I finally sensed a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation!
Crystal Shimmer Yingying, activated by Xue Tong's infusion of mana.
"Boom~!"
Water particles shot into the sky, and mud splashed hundreds of feet.
A large hole exploded in the ground, leaving a wall of light hanging in the air.
As soon as Xue Tong put it on the wall, the sky started to spin.
Immortal Realm, You Palace!
This time is no different than the last time. There is no map available inside the country. If anyone knows about the light wall outside the country, they will enter the palace to steal the treasure.
Xue Tong's heart almost reached his throat.
I am more nervous than ever, for fear of being robbed of my treasure.
Xue Tong rides on the vulture and flies around like a headless fly.
No longer caring about the energy consumption of flying in the secret realm, the black light pillar is powerful.
The only thing I'm glad about is that neither the Eagle nor I can compare with the past.
"Boom~boom!"
The pillars of black light were bombarded, and Xue Tong stood on the back of a vulture, swinging his sword and sweeping wildly, as if he was enduring a thunderstorm.
Only when his mana reaches the bottom, Xue Tong will take a short break and replenish it with the best spiritual stones.
Three days later, suddenly there was an earth-shattering roar from the valley ahead, and a huge thing jumped out.
Xue Tong kicked off his feet and rushed towards Biyue Bird!
The bird's claws in Biyue are like mountains pressing down on the top of the mountain. Xue Tong is not afraid at all, and the clouds in the sky rumble forward.
One move can determine the outcome. The moon bird of the same level makes a strange cry, turns into an ink-colored treasure fork, and pierces Xue Tong's heart.
Xue Tong's door opens wide, and the ink cross enters his body!
Xue Tong staggered and sat on the ground, the warm current of his attributes spread into his limbs and bones, flowing slowly, and merged into his power veins!
