The Immortal Path of Reception is the path of immortality that appears only when cultivators in the Mahayana period ascend to the upper realm, or when immortals who descend to earth return.
No matter whether you are a human or an immortal, you can only cross the boundless deep space and reach the real immortal world by relying on the guide to the immortal path.
"Ni Yang, how can I open the path to welcome the Immortal?"
Zhang Xiaoman asked the doubts in his heart.
Beside him, the small cyan dragon transformed from Niyang's soul was circling around, as if he was also stumped by this question. He thought about it for a long time without speaking.
"How about you try using the Zixiao Divine Sword? According to the rumors, this thing should be the sword of the Ancient Emperor. It should have similar abilities, right?"
After a while, Ni Yang finally came up with the solution he thought of.
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and said:
"It shouldn't work. The Purple Sky Divine Sword is still in a sealed state. I don't remember that it has the ability to open a passage..."
He said and tried a few times himself, but there was really no way to contact the fairy world, let alone open a passage connecting it.
"Perhaps there is something that Ziwei can do... How about I ask her..."
Zhang Xiaoman thought of Ziwei. That woman is from a place like the Dark Star Alliance where communications are spread throughout the star field. She should know that similar abilities exist, right?
Ni Yang twisted his body twice and said unhappy:
"Hmph, kid, it's not that I can't think of a way to open the path to the immortal world, it's just that the methods I use are too overbearing and overbearing, and you can't even use them with your current strength!"
Zhang Xiaoman knew that this guy couldn't help, and when he heard that he was planning to find someone else, he was a little unhappy. He smiled and said:
"Yes, I know, no matter what happens to them, they don't have to go through Niyang, right?"
Ni Yang raised his chin when he heard the reality, but then felt that it was a bit inappropriate to do so, and immediately looked away unhappily.
"Hey, by the way, I suddenly remembered that maybe you can go to the Little Fairy Palace and have a look."
"Little fairy palace?"
Listening to the name that Ni Yang suddenly mentioned, Zhang Xiaoman also searched his memory in his mind and found that he seemed to have heard of this small fairy palace. In fact, he saw it in the library pavilion of Tianyuan Sect. Immortal Palace is actually just the fractional power of Immortal Palace in the mortal world.
"That's right, I heard that the immortals from the Immortal Palace sometimes come down to fight and fight. They use the Immortal Path to welcome them. This Path to the Immortal Path should have nothing to do with the Immortal Palace. Otherwise, it depends on the heavens alone. It’s very difficult for the gods to open it unilaterally.”
Zhang Xiaoman nodded seriously, feeling that what Ni Yang said made sense. Anyway, according to his original exploration plan, he would have to go to the Little Immortal Palace sooner or later. Why not take this opportunity to go there first to see if there is anything there? There is no way to open the path to immortality.
Without further ado, he had already made preparations and set off immediately after having a goal.
The Little Immortal Palace is located to the east of Tianyuan Sect. According to the Shengukan map recorded in Tianyuan Sect, he needs to fly hundreds of thousands of miles east to reach it.
Hundreds of thousands of miles, which is quite a distance. In the past, it would have been very difficult for Zhang Xiaoman to cross it without an aircraft. It would take him only ten and a half days to use his flying abilities alone. Yue's will never arrive.
But now, he has mastered the dark speed. He can turn his body into half energy and use the dark speed to reach directly.
The area where the Little Immortal Palace is located should be on another continental plate, separated from the Tianyuan Sect continent by a wide boundless sea. Not to mention the people of this world, even the humans on the Water Blue Star cannot easily Get through that ocean.
However, all this was not enough for Ansu. It only took Zhang Xiaoman less than two seconds to cross hundreds of thousands of kilometers, starting from Tianyuan Sect and arriving directly at the Little Immortal Palace. s position.
"Boy, that's good. I've mastered the basic magic of escaping light. That will save me a lot of trouble."
Niyang's voice sounded in his mind at the right time. It seemed that Ansu also had corresponding abilities in the ancient world of gods.
"We're here, now let's find a way to find the location of Little Fairy Palace."
Zhang Xiaoman said while looking at the unfamiliar environment around him.
This is no longer the territory of the Dafu Dynasty. According to the records on the Shengukan map, it should be a place called Diancang Kingdom.
It's just that the Shengu Kanyu map was drawn hundreds of years ago. It's hard to say whether Dian Cang Kingdom still exists at this time.
Zhang Xiaoman used his spiritual power to fly nearby for a while, but all he could see was a mountain range, with no human towns at all.
"What's going on? Where have all the people here gone?"
After flying for hundreds of miles, Zhang Xiaoman still didn't see even half a human figure. Instead, he found a lot of monsters in the jungle below.
These monster beasts had just opened their spiritual intelligence not long ago. It must have been the revival of spiritual energy this time that allowed them to awaken. They were so confused that they couldn't even speak, so naturally they couldn't ask any questions.
It was not until two hours later, just when Zhang Xiaoman was about to give up temporarily and go back first, that he finally saw a wisp of smoke in the distant mountains and forests.
"Finally found someone!"
His eyes lit up, and he quickly accelerated and flew over.
Beyond the smoke is a small town. The town looks dilapidated, not like a human settlement, but like a ruins that have been abandoned for hundreds of years.
"Monster! Monster! The monster is here again! Run!"
When the residents in the city saw Zhang Xiaoman descending from the sky, they were all frightened and hid. A small group of guards wearing tattered iron armor came forward tremblingly, pointing their spears at the visitor. The arm holding the spear was trembling.
"Gudong..."
A middle-aged soldier wearing a broken iron helmet and his face covered with dust swallowed a mouthful of saliva, walked up bravely, and said:
"You, what kind of monster are you... Our town has signed a contract with the Black Bear Lord, and we will give you sacrifices every month. Why... you still come... to us..."
After the middle-aged soldier said these words intermittently, he was so frightened that he quickly retreated into the team.
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but frown when he saw this. He had already heard the general situation here from the other party's words.
Spiritual energy is revived, demons eat people, and it is a desperate and depressing environment.
"I'm a human, not a monster. Don't worry, I won't eat you."
he tried to explain.
The soldiers didn't believe it at all. Seeing him approaching, they quickly retreated back.
"When you flew over just now... we, we all saw it! I know we are not your opponent... but... but if your key is here to eat people randomly... aren't you afraid of the revenge of the Black Bear Lord!"
Looking at his stern look, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Why is the human race like this?
In this world, whether it is the Dafu Dynasty, the Dian Cang Kingdom, or the Aqua Blue Star, the Ancient Leng Star and other places, the talent of human beings does not recover as fast as other races.
The monsters were the first to enjoy the gifts of nature, and spiritual power had the greatest impact on them, and they also made rapid progress in their cultivation.
On the other hand, in humans, it is rare to find a talented person, and you may not be able to find one among millions of people.
Coupled with the lack of correct guidance, human beings are also very slow to practice. Even if there are one or two practitioners in some places, their cultivation is far inferior to that of the same batch of monsters. In addition, the number does not account for Advantage, he will soon die miserably under the siege of monsters.
Zhang Xiaoman knows that the human race's talent in cultivation is actually not inferior to that of the monster race, but this is more reflected in the persistence, which is the same as in the second universe.
The human race is actually the Huiling tribe, and the Huiling tribe's dark spirit talent is stronger than their subsequent cultivation and understanding. To put it bluntly, they are a late-stage unit.
Of course, the late-stage human race cannot defeat those monster beasts in the early stage of spiritual energy recovery, so many people have become food in their mouths.
Zhang Xiaoman estimated that the situation in Diancang Kingdom should be similar.
He waved his hand and used a "building technique" learned from the Dark Star Alliance. At this moment, all the damaged and weathered buildings around him were restored to their original appearance, and the entire small town was restored to the intact appearance it had been a few years ago.
This move is equivalent to an advanced version of the repair technique, but it is more practical than the repair technique. In addition to repair, it can also be used directly for construction. With the increase of proficiency, advanced practitioners can even rub spaceships out of thin air. It is simply a humanoid particle printing technology.
"God's Coming"
The repairs of the surrounding buildings made the soldiers look shocked. After a brief daze, they all looked at the monster not far away with doubtful eyes.
No, maybe what he said was true. He was not a monster, but a real human being.
After all, monsters wouldn't help them repair the city, right?
Some residents of the town also carefully came out of their hiding places and stood on both sides of the street watching the situation from a distance.
"I have heard that there are some practitioners among humans, but such practitioners are too rare. There are only one or two in the royal city. Your Excellency, are you..."
The middle-aged man put down the spear he had been carrying and asked with respect and hope in his tone.
Zhang Xiaoman said calmly:
"That's right, I'm passing through here and want to ask you for directions. If I were a demon clan, why would I need to spend so much time to help you repair the town?"
"So that's it..."
Everyone nodded, and their physical vigilance relaxed a lot again.
"I don't know...where does Shangxian plan to go? We will tell you everything we know, and we will tell you everything. If Shangxian is of use to Shashi Town, we will do our best to help and will never refuse!"
The middle-aged man basically believed his words at this time.
Indeed, if the person in front of him is transformed by a monster, then there is really no need for him to talk so much nonsense with himself and others here. He has also repaired this dilapidated town, which is simply huge for this group of people. What a favor.
Seeing everyone around him starting to salute towards him, Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand to indicate that they did not have to do this.
He immediately asked about the purpose of his trip, which was where the small fairy palace was.
However, it is impossible for this group of people to know about such a blessed place as the Little Immortal Palace. What Zhang Xiaoman asked about was the mountain range where the Little Immortal Palace is located on the Shengu Kan map, which is called Laoshan Mountain, also known as the Lao Realm.
"Laoshan? This... we have never heard of this mountain... Further east is the direction to the Diancang King's City, but now I heard that it has also been captured by monsters, and no news has come back for a long time. Already..."
He couldn't help but feel depressed again when he said this.
The country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and the compatriots were devoured by monsters and beasts. He was just an ordinary soldier in a border town. He wanted to kill the enemy but was unable to save himself. He could only watch helplessly as everything he once knew was destroyed.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't get the answer he wanted, but he wasn't too disappointed. After all, he didn't have high hopes in the first place.
The main reason he came here this time was to get a general idea of the country. This frontier town was only a little better than Dongyuan Village, so it was normal for him not to know some geographical information.
However, he recalled the black bear lord that his opponent had mentioned before. It seemed to be a monster that was entrenched near the town. It seemed that it had turned this sandstone town into its own breeding farm. This made him frown slightly. As a human, Now that we have encountered this situation, how can we just sit idly by and ignore it.
Even after he carefully inquired about the Black Bear Lord, the middle-aged man quickly told what happened to him and others recently.
It turns out that a powerful monster appeared in this area, which was transformed into a black bear. It has power that exceeds ordinary monsters, and it also has wisdom that exceeds them.
The black bear demon did not kill all the people here at once, but kept them in captivity and asked for a sacrifice once a month, and the so-called sacrifice was a living human life.
"Chief Immortal, we really have no choice. Those monsters have occupied all sides, and there is no way to the nearest Youyang City. I heard from my companions who ran back that even the entire Youyang City has been destroyed. We have been captured by monsters, there is really nothing we can do!”
The middle-aged man named Liu Sheng was choked up when he said this.
There are only so many people in Shashi Town. Even if the black bear comes to eat people once a month, they will all be eaten before long.
Besides, no one else would feel comfortable seeing their companions being sent out to be eaten like this.
Soldiers came around to comfort him. Zhang Xiaoman learned from their words that Liu Sheng's son had been drawn and became the black bear lord's rations just three days ago.
"You don't have to worry about what's going on here. The black bear monster eats countless people. I will kill it myself. Just wait for my news again!"
After he finished speaking, he looked cold and flew towards the forest where the black bear lord was entrenched.
