Lu Cheng stood on a raised hill, recited a spell in a low voice, and broadcast the sound 300 miles away.
Soon, a big man in black clothes emerged from the sea. After seeing Lu Cheng, he was very excited. He knelt on the ground and said, "Master, you are finally back. I have been looking for you all these years, but I can't find anything." If you can’t find it, you can only go back to Taihu Lake and drag Qiucheng Garden to the bottom of the sea to use it as an underwater dragon palace.”
Lu Cheng said: "Lu Guimeng, take me to talk underwater."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Guimeng led Lu Cheng, separated from the sea water, and entered the underwater barrier.
The layout of the Underwater Dragon Palace is the same as that of Qiucheng Garden back then. Back then, the foundation of Qiucheng Garden was moved by Lu Cheng, and he protected it with a magic circle to make it float on the water. Many years later, after Lu Guimeng became a Xuanxian, he dragged it into the bottom of the water.
As early as 600 years ago, Lu Guimeng's skill reached the late stage of Xuanxian. After that, no matter how hard he practiced, he could not continue to advance and could never become a Golden Immortal.
There are several maidservants in the Dragon Palace, some from human race and some from demon race.
Lu Cheng sat down and the maid served tea.
Lu Guimeng stood there, not daring to sit down.
"Sit down." Lu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what have you experienced in these years? Who have you met? Where have you been? What changes have occurred in Middle-earth?"
Lu Guimeng sat down obediently and said: "Master, during the ten days when the sky was full and hundreds of birds were flying toward the phoenix, there were landslides and tsunamis, frequent earthquakes, and volcanoes erupting for many years. Later, after the New World was formed, although the earthquakes decreased, there were still The climate changes greatly. Sometimes there are strong winds and rain, sometimes the scorching sun, and sometimes the wind is sunny. Even if I am in the underwater Dragon Palace, I can still feel the changes in the underwater ocean currents. The water flow is changeable, sometimes east and west, now south and now north.
Over the years, I have been to many places, almost all over the earth according to the ancient world map, and found that when it merged into the New World, the land area was greatly compressed, and the seven originally scattered continents were integrated into one continent.
This continent has been sealed, including the clouds in the sky, the circulation of water vapor, wind, frost, rain and snow, flowers, plants and trees, humans, monsters, monsters, birth, old age, illness and death, and even the rotation of the soul in the three lives after death, all seem to have been sealed.
I tried every possible means to break through the seal, but my skills were too weak to break out.
And I also discovered that after I reached the late stage of Xuanxian cultivation, the path to promotion was also sealed, and no matter how hard I tried, I could not become a Golden Immortal..."
When Lu Cheng arrived at Qilin Cliff through the teleportation array, he completely suppressed his own power for fear of alarming Ancestor Hongjun, and did not dare to release his spiritual consciousness very far away, so he did not know how this continent was sealed. He walked for two months before arriving at the coast of the East China Sea. During this period, he found that the weather changed drastically, which was completely different from the earth back then.
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "It seems that the ancestor Hongjun took action to enclose Middle-earth as an experimental site. Now Middle-earth is like a super large biosphere. From energy circulation, to water circulation, to the circulation of souls, everything is in Hongjun Under the control of the ancestor. He manipulates the laws of heaven wantonly and treats all living creatures in the entire Middle Earth as research objects."
In order to land on the moon and Mars, humans once established "ecospheres" in deserts on the earth to study ecological circulation systems.
The experiments conducted by ancestor Hongjun were more advanced, directly interfering with the laws of heaven, adding or deleting the laws of heaven to the closed "ecosystem", observing the impact of the changes in the laws, and at the same time restricting the humans and monsters in the ecosystem. They broke through to the golden immortal realm. As long as you cannot cultivate into a Golden Immortal, you cannot break the ecological circle. As for the life, old age, illness and death of low-level monks, it was not within his scope of consideration.
In other words, Ancestor Hongjun raised all the creatures in Middle-earth, including humans, demons, mountain elves, and water monsters, as pigs. He changed the experimental conditions in different ways every day, observed the overall changes in the entire ecosystem, and finally The purpose is to study the laws of heaven. As for which pig grew stronger and which pig died of illness, how could he care?
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng felt that he was safe for the time being.
He asked: "Have you ever come into contact with the seal outside? What kind of seal is it?"
Lu Guimeng replied: "It's layer after layer of mist. I don't know how many layers there are.
I experimented with mist. However, as soon as he got close, he felt that his energy was not flowing smoothly, his whole body felt weak, and his power was completely lost. So there is no way to get through the seal. "
Lu Cheng asked: "If we go west from here, can we reach the heaven?"
Lu Guimeng shook his head: "The west is also sealed. I stood in the Alpine Palace and looked up to the west. When the weather is clear, I can see the towering sacred mountains. I can see many shining palaces on the top of the mountains, and I can also see immortals. Flying around. But I can't break through the seal and get close to the sacred mountain."
Lu Cheng nodded when he heard this. He came in with the help of the teleportation array and didn't feel anything when passing through the formation.
The teleportation array set up by the Lu family is of a very high level and can automatically tear apart all barriers and barriers. Lu Cheng himself is a middle-level Immortal Emperor. Unless it is a very high-level divine formation, it will not be able to block his access.
Ancestor Hongjun is a god and demon, not the most brilliant immortal formation master. The area of Middle-earth is too vast, and it is difficult to seal such a large area. In order for the immortal formation to function normally, it needs sufficient energy support. The larger the seal's range, the more energy it consumes. For this reason, even if Patriarch Hongjun deployed a clever divine formation, it would be difficult for it to operate normally.
After a pause, Lu Guimeng said again: "I have met many people in these years. Including the major sects that stayed in China, Shaolin, Wudang, Qingcheng, and Emei. Not all the disciples have been moved away, and there are still some The aristocratic families relied on magic weapons such as Linglong Pavilion to stay. Ninety-five percent of the human race died when the heaven and earth merged. Those who survived continued to multiply and struggled to survive against the violent winds, landslides, and tsunamis.
Nowadays, in the entire Middle-earth, regardless of skin color and race, the total number of all races is less than 100 million.
Monsters and ghosts appeared in large numbers.
I met a ghost fairy at the source of the Luo River. He told me that the Huangquan Road was also sealed. It could originally lead to the eighteenth level of hell, but now it can only reach a corner of the netherworld. "
Lu Cheng asked: "Where do those who survived live?"
"Most of them live in caves. Many sects and aristocratic families each occupy a large mountain. After years of hard work, the entire mountain is hollowed out. Only by hiding in the mountain can you barely survive. If you are an ordinary person, stay It's hard to survive for more than a month outside. As soon as the cold wind blows or the cold rain pours, he will soon die of illness. Even Jindan Zhenren cannot be exposed to the outside for a long time."
