Chapter 37: Tracing the Roots
The human world was originally a part of the ancient prehistoric continent. After the prehistoric continent was broken, a large piece was separated from it and evolved independently and gradually formed. Therefore, it has a vast area, abundant spiritual energy, and can be said to be a land of outstanding people. Although it has been destroyed by the ancient God-conferring War, there are still many gods and monsters that remain today.
Moreover, there is a barrier between the human world and the void of the universe, which is either set up by someone or formed naturally. This barrier is full of rules and the power of the great road, covering the entire human world, whether outsiders want to enter or the people inside want to Going out will cost you a lot. People call this barrier that separates heaven and earth "the barrier between heaven and man".
Because they are in completely different planes and spaces, they will be rejected by different rules and environments. The specific manifestation of this repulsive force is the catastrophe!
If a cultivator in the human world wants to ascend, he must go through a heavenly tribulation and pass the test of heaven and earth before he is qualified to leave the human world. And those creatures who want to come to the human world are often unable to exert their full strength in the human world due to this repulsive force, and have to reincarnate into the human world, or send clones and projections to the human world that can only last for a short period of time.
Eastern monks call this repulsive force the "Law of Heaven" and believe that this is a law of one realm spontaneously formed in the human world, which limits the development of immortals and gods in the human world. Therefore, most of them do not like to stay in the human world, but have sufficient cultivation. I just want to survive the catastrophe and ascend to heaven; non-monastics call it the "plane rules" and call the human world the "main material plane", which is the main core and connection point of all planes, but they like it very much. Development in the human world.
In the human world, this kind of repulsive force exists for everyone, and the stronger the existence, the greater the restrictions. Only through continuous practice in the human world can these restrictions be gradually lifted and the strength restored.
However, after regaining their strength, their true energy purity and spell-casting skills will be greatly improved - after all, it is equivalent to reviewing the training process all over again. It is strange that there is no progress. Therefore, reincarnating into the human world and practicing again has become a way to improve your cultivation and break through bottlenecks. Only then did many stories about gods descending to earth and gods and men being reincarnated appeared. They were compiled into myths and legends and have been sung in the world for a long time.
However, this method is very dangerous. After all, cultivation in the human world is limited. If you provoke a powerful enemy during the period of recovering your strength, you may be forced to retreat. Your cultivation will be wasted in your lifetime. If you are not lucky, , even the soul will be destroyed. Among cultivators, there are not a few who have died because of this. Only those cultivators with superhuman wisdom, perseverance, and good fortune can stand out.
However, people with such great wisdom, great perseverance, and great blessings are in the minority after all and are not in the mainstream. Therefore, those who ascend from the human world rarely come back because they have already enjoyed the free and unrestrained life in the outside world and do not want to Returning to the human world, I am subject to constraints and risks again.
Yamata no Orochi thought about it several times, and finally, under the temptation of improving his strength and breaking through the bottleneck, he chose to pass through the barrier of heaven and man in his physical body, but he paid a heavy price. Its cultivation level was suppressed by more than five levels, and when it forcibly crossed the barrier of heaven and man, it was attacked by the Nine Heavenly Gang Wind, meteorites, sky fire, and sky thunder. As a result, it suffered some injuries and its strength declined again.
Probably due to the reason of recovering his strength and insufficient understanding of the human world, Yamata no Orochi only conducted a brief exploration of the human world, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the people here were not very high in cultivation, and they were not even in the realm of immortals. None, not even one in the Golden Immortal realm. As for the cultivators in the immortal realm, even if their current strength is less than half of their usual strength, they can still win. This is not a boast. With Yamata no Orochi's special abilities and inherited secrets, he can even fight against the Golden Immortal - but he will definitely run away in the end.
In other words, in the eyes of Yamata no Orochi, there is no one in the world who can cause serious harm to it, so Yamata no Orochi's proud temper has been violated again. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it just rested in a hurry. Without even recovering from its injuries, let alone lifting the restrictions, it hurriedly rushed to a ground that satisfied him, hoping to refine and absorb it.
The reason why I didn’t go to mainland China, but to Japan. This is because the Yamata no Orochi is not a fool, and it does not believe that there are no hidden masters in this world, so it is very clever and does not choose those sects with stronger spiritual power that are also in the human world. The prehistoric spirit vein where it is located is afraid that there are some hidden old monsters there. Although it may not be its opponent, it will be bad if it attracts a large number of masters to attack. The ants will bite the elephant to death, let alone these cultivators. By.
It is said that Japan also has its origins. In the ancient times, the world was dominated by the ancient continent, surrounded by the sea on all sides, and in the sea there were islands and mountains of all sizes, the more famous ones being the Ten Continents and Three Islands. The ten states are:
Zuzhou: In the East China Sea, it is 500 miles away and 70,000 miles away from the west coast. There is grass of immortality on it.
Yingzhou: In the East China Sea, it is four thousand miles away, roughly opposite Kuaiji, and seven hundred thousand miles away from the west coast. There are mushrooms, celestial beings, and jade on them. When you come out of Liquan, you will be drunk if you drink a few liters of it, which will make you live forever. There are many immortal families on the continent, the customs are like those of Wu people, and the mountains and rivers are like China.
Xuanzhou: The land of Xuhai in the North Sea, 1,200 miles away and 360,000 miles away from the south coast. There are many hills and mountains, and there are many kinds of golden jade and jade grass.
Yanzhou: In the South China Sea, it is two thousand miles away and ninety thousand miles away from the north coast. There is a wind-born beast like a leopard. Take its brain and jade flowers and eat them. If you weigh ten kilograms, you will live five hundred years. There is also the Huolin Mountain. In the mountain there is a flaming beast as big as a rat. Its fur is used to make cloth, which is called "Huo Huan Bu". There are also many immortal families.
Changzhou: A Qingqiu, located in the land of Chensi in the South China Sea, 5,000 miles away and 250,000 miles offshore. There are many mountains and rivers, big trees, celestial herbs, elixirs, sweet liquids and jade flowers. There is the Zifu Palace, where innocent fairies swim.
Yuanzhou: In the North Sea, it is three thousand miles away and one hundred thousand miles away from the south coast. There is Wuzhi and Xuanjian on it, and the water is like honey. If you drink it, you will live forever, and you will be in harmony with heaven and earth. If you drink Wuzhi, you will live forever.
Liuzhou: In the West Sea, it is three thousand miles away and 190,000 miles away from the east coast. There are many mountains and rivers on the mountain, and the accumulated stones are Kunwu. The swords are made of bright light, like water essence, and the cut jade is like mud. There are also many immortal families.
Shengzhou: Between Chouyin and Chouyin in the East China Sea, it is 170,000 miles from Penglai, 2,500 miles from the local area, and 230,000 miles from the west coast. There is no cold or heat in the weather, and Zhicao grows everywhere. There are tens of thousands of immortals on it.
Fenglinzhou: In the West Sea, the area is 1,500 miles away. The island is surrounded by weak water on all sides. It cannot be surpassed even if a feather does not float on it. There are many phoenixes on the island, tens of thousands of them in groups. There are also mountains, rivers and ponds, and many kinds of magical medicines. There are also many immortal families.
Jukuzhou is an unclaimed land in the West Sea, with an area of 3,000 miles, 260,000 miles from Kunlun in the north, and 240,000 miles from the east coast. There are so many true immortals and spiritual officials with countless palaces and palaces. There are also all kinds of strange beasts. The shape of the mountain resembles the image of a human and bird, so it is named "Human and Bird Mountain". There are many anti-soul trees in the mountains, which can make their own noises, like a herd of cows roaring, which is frightening to hear. Cut the roots and boil the juice into pills, which are called "Jingjingxiang" or "Zhenling Pills", "Resurrection Incense", "Shaking Sandalwood", "Human and Bird Essence", "But Death Fragrance".
The three islands are: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. They are overseas sacred mountains. Legend has it that there is an elixir of immortality on them.
However, these ten continents all have fixed positions and cannot be moved. Therefore, they were affected by the Lich War and most of them were broken. Only Sanshen Mountain escaped because it had no foundation and could drift with the waves and its whereabouts were uncertain.
However, it was still affected by the aftermath of the Earth Collapse. A fragment fell from Yingzhou in the Three God Mountains. This fragment fell into the world and hit the East China Sea. After endless years of evolution, the current Japanese island was formed, so The Japanese island also had a name in ancient times: Japan.
Among the ten continents and three islands, although the three islands are only called "islands", compared individually, their actual size is much larger than any of the ten continents, almost equivalent to a continent on the sea. Moreover, the Three Islands evolved from the Three Fast Chaos Fragments produced when Chaos was shattered. They are almost indestructible, and the island is rich in spiritual energy, with countless exotic flowers and plants, and countless genius treasures. Since the Japanese Island was dropped from Yingzhou Island Formed from a piece of fragment, it naturally has ancient spiritual veins, but because the damage is too serious, it has been repaired and does not emit much spiritual energy.
Yamata no Orochi is worthy of being a prehistoric alien species. He actually discovered the details of the Japanese island in a short period of time. Of course, this is also related to the fact that it has practiced the "Spiritual Energy Transformation Technique" and is particularly sensitive to spiritual veins.
