Time passed slowly, and months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Mo Juren made appropriate arrangements for all aspects, and Han Yunzhi was no exception, and he also obtained Han Zhuo's consent.
In this way, the two of them had no scruples and left Qiling Mountain directly, heading towards the Yue Kingdom.
"Speaking of it, I haven't returned to Yue for many years, and I don't know what it's like now?" On Xiao Jin's broad back, thinking of the place he was about to go to, Han Yunzhi suddenly felt a little shy about his hometown.
Having grown up in the country of Yue, she naturally regarded it as her first hometown, and she instinctively felt familiar with it. Unfortunately, time has changed, and after the Yue Kingdom was occupied by the Ghost Spirit Sect many years ago, she never came back.
"You don't know, and I don't even know." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and said,
"If we really want to, we can go to Lanzhou first, visit Jiayuan City, see the hometown of Spirit Beast Mountain, and then leave later."
"Lanzhou?" Han Yunzhi couldn't help but be touched when she heard these familiar names. It was the place where she lived since she was a child. There were too many indelible memories. How could she not miss it?
But thinking about it, she could still distinguish what was important and what was less important. She couldn't mess around because of her husband's 'preference'. If something happened, it would be too late to regret it.
"Let's forget it. Although Brother Mo is famous for a while now, he is also the target of public criticism. I'm afraid there are countless eyes staring at you. If you meet someone from the Ghost Spirit Sect, wouldn't it be troublesome if something happens again?"
"Then next time, you don't have to worry about it when you return." Mo Juren comforted him with a smile, and the latter nodded slightly, and then gently moved closer to his embrace.
Leaving the Tianluo Kingdom, he flew towards the northwest at high speed, passing through the entire Jiang Kingdom and reaching the northeastern part of the Yue Kingdom.
This is the familiar wasteland spirit mine area and the location of the ancient teleportation array. Because it is located on the border and surrounded by the endless Gobi Desert, there are naturally few people.
Even the spirit mine area is only garrisoned by a group of low-level disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect, plus a group of mortals absent from work. For beings like Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi, they are no different from ants.
Therefore, the arrival of the two went smoothly, and these low-level monks were not aware of it at all.
When he escaped from the underground to the cave where the teleportation formation was located, Mo Juren began to get busy. He first did some simple cleaning and rearranged the formation, and then started the familiar work of assembling and setting up the formation.
On the other hand, Han Yunzhi was on the side. It was her first time here and she was full of curiosity and kept looking around. Similarly, for the other end of the ancient teleportation array, the so-called Chaos Star Sea revealed a deep yearning.
Without letting her wait too long, Mo Juren quickly got everything ready.
He invited the other party to enter the teleportation array together, and then took out the Great Teleportation Order, and began to recite the stimulating spell.
With a flash of yellow light, the two figures were no longer in the formation. They were silent from beginning to end and did not attract anyone's attention.
…
"The Sea of Chaotic Stars is actually like this!" Han Yunzhi couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the vast ocean with no end in all directions.
This expression made Mo Juren couldn't help but smile. He thought of Han Li back then. The other party was also like this, and he was shocked by the majestic sea.
This is no wonder, after all, both of them have lived on land since childhood. They have seen many big rivers, but they have never seen this vast ocean.
"I was also shocked when I came here for the first time." Mo Juren replied with a smile, and at the same time, he released his spiritual consciousness and explored an area of more than a hundred miles.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he withdrew his consciousness and continued,
"The Sea of Chaotic Stars is dominated by the sea, and its vastness is beyond imagination. You can really appreciate it during the next journey."
"It's best to pretend to avoid causing trouble." Han Yunzhi also heard the other party introduce the situation here before, and he seemed to be in the middle of a war, so he reminded him immediately.
"You're right, you really can't be careless." Mo Juren nodded in agreement, randomly flipped his palm and took out the Qianhuan Mask. Due to the existence of this thing, even the great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to see through his true appearance.
As for Han Yunzhi, it was her first time here and no one knew her, so she didn't need to bother too much. However, out of caution, she still used the secret method, which also changed her appearance.
This is naturally the Miaoyin Sect's method of disguise. Mo Juren had already left a backup copy in the secret vault of Tianxiang Pendant.
Because it has incredible miraculous effects in changing appearance, and also has the practical function of disguising to save life, Han Yunzhi liked it very much and spent a certain amount of time to cultivate it successfully.
After changing their disguises, the two of them went straight up Xiaojin's back without any further delay. Xiao Jin, who was already a level five monster, was no longer what he used to be. His huge golden wings suddenly flapped, creating a strong wind in an instant.
A golden light flashed, and Xiao Jin's huge body disappeared into the sky.
…
Nanming Island.
It is located in the waters near Star City. Although it is not large in area, it is the last transit island to reach Star City. Many monks and ordinary merchants who come and go will basically stop here temporarily to replenish supplies, which also makes the commercial environment of this island extremely prosperous.
The Fangshi on Nanming Island was built in a small city not far from the island port, for the convenience of monks and merchants passing by.
No matter in terms of fame or scale, this place is naturally far inferior to those big islands. But because it is too close to Star City, many goods shipped there are simply unloaded here, and then merchants from Star City come to pull the goods for trading.
The result is that this place has not only become a transit point for monks and merchants, but also a distribution center for various bulk commodities. The products sold are of all types and are not even half worse than other places. The prices of things are even higher than those in Tianxing City. Even cheaper.
This morning, a small airship flew out of Nanming Island. There was a man and a woman standing side by side on the deck. It was Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi. As for Xiaojin, out of the consideration of keeping a low profile, he had already taken back the spirit beast bag.
Looking at the countless large and small ships coming and going in the port below, as well as the monks flying in and out, Mo Juren couldn't help but look surprised.
According to his original expectation, the trade between this island and Tianxing City had long been cut off due to the war. But the situation in front of us is obviously not that different, and it is not much different from the prosperity in the past.
He had been to this island before, so he naturally knew what it was like before. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart. It seemed that the trade between the two parties had not been cut off.
Unlike Mo Juren, Han Yunzhi was shocked by the scene in front of him, not because of its huge business scale, but because of the harmonious coexistence of mortals and monks.
Although I had some understanding from my husband before, it was just a theory after all. Seeing it in real life was something else. It was shocking and incredible at the same time.
In Tiannan, there is a clear distinction between immortal cultivators and mortals. This situation is absolutely impossible.
"Are we... going to go on like this?" Han Yunzhi suddenly asked when he came to his senses.
"Otherwise?" Mo Juren guessed the other party's thoughts and couldn't help but chuckled,
"Don't worry, the mortals here have long been accustomed to the monks, and they don't even bother to pay attention to them."
After saying that, he drove the airship again and flew down to a certain location in the port.
In the past, Nanming Island was relatively free. Monks and mortal merchants who came and went did not need to register, and everything was done at will. However, there is obviously a change now. If you want to enter the city, you must register information.
It's not that strict, it's just a matter of simply leaving the source, name, etc., and issuing access tokens at the same time, which is basically a formality.
The two of them only reported their identities as casual cultivators and false names and passed directly. They then spent a considerable amount of spiritual stones to purchase tokens, and then entered the city smoothly.
On the street, looking at the bustling scene around him, Mo Juren's curiosity became more and more intense. It has been more than twenty years since the war between the Counter Star Alliance and Star Palace, but the trade between them has not been greatly affected. The impact looks like.
Walking to a restaurant where monks gathered, they looked at the rather noisy environment inside. The two of them looked at each other and walked straight into it. Then they chose a private room by the window on the second floor to sit down.
The private rooms here have a semi-open design, with only adjacent partitions but no doors or windows. At the same time, the first and second floors are connected. Sitting on the second floor means it is quiet and you can have an unobstructed view of the lobby on the first floor.
"The two distinguished guests are a bit unfamiliar. It must be the first time to come to our 'Xuanyue Tower', right? I wonder what you want to order?" The waiter obviously noticed that the two of them were not simple, and his attitude was extremely enthusiastic.
"Do you have any good spiritual tea here?"
"It turns out that your distinguished guest likes this, so it's the right time to come to Xuanyue Tower. Just recently, we just received a batch of 'Autumn Moon Dew' from Chixia Island. It is definitely the best tea." The waiter immediately gave him Out of the introduction.
"Autumn Moon Dew!" Mo Juren couldn't help but look surprised. He had naturally heard of this tea. It was ranked seventh among the top ten famous teas in Luan Xinghai. It was a real rarity. He didn't expect to encounter it here. It seems that the background of Xuanyue Tower is not simple, otherwise it would be impossible to get such good things.
"Then just have a pot, and there's no need for anything else."
"Okay, two distinguished guests, wait a moment." The waiter did not hesitate, immediately bowed and left. Soon, another maid in a long skirt came forward with a cup of spiritual tea.
After dismissing the maid, Han Yunzhi took action himself. While making tea, he smiled and said,
"Brother Mo is getting more and more addicted to tea. He will never forget this sip."
"The long journey to immortality is too boring, so you have to have some hobbies. Drinking tea can not only kill time, but also regulate your mood and improve your cultivation. Why not?" Mo Juren laughed and talked to the other party distractedly. Chatting while listening carefully to the discussion in the lobby below.
I have to say that the restaurant is indeed a good place to gather information. Listening to the discussions from all over the world below, in a short time, I have already understood the current situation in Luan Xinghai.
Twenty years ago, when the Xutian Palace was opened, the Counter-Star Alliance also launched an attack and started an all-out war with the Star Palace.
Because Mo Juren's butterfly wings flapped, the war situation between the two sides deviated from the original fate line to a certain extent. Xinggong had a considerable upper hand at the beginning.
Unfortunately, this change could not compete with the general trend after all. Because of the special situation of the Twin Saints, the Star Palace lacked high-end combat power and was no match for the Counter-Star Alliance. In the end, just like in the original work, it returned to a passive situation again. All the four-star islands fell, and most of the inner twelve-star islands were also lost.
Fortunately, the foundation of Star Palace is not bad. Relying on the behemoth of Tianxing City and the rich resources of the outer sea, even if it loses the city and the land in the inner sea, it is still very comfortable.
In this way, the dispute between the two parties has reached its limit, and no one can take a step forward and can only become stalemate.
As for Nanming Island, it was indeed disconnected from Tianxing City for a period of time at first. However, after the two sides began to stalemate, they quickly recovered.
Unlike Tiannan, 90% of the business in Luan Xinghai is controlled by the four major business alliances, with the True Demon Path, Star Palace and Loose Cultivators each occupying one of them.
Even if it is born out of these four major forces, it has a certain degree of autonomy. Unless it is a special period, or it reaches a real life-and-death situation, usually the situation will not stop easily.
The reason for this is actually very simple. No matter how much dispute there is in the inner sea, it is just an internal fight between human monks. However, there is a common enemy in the outer sea, which is the huge monster force.
If there are no restrictions, causing the human race's own vitality to be severely damaged, and eventually the monster race will take advantage of it, then it will be a truly unforgivable crime. The inland sea foundation that generations of ancestors have spent endless efforts to develop over tens of thousands of years may collapse as a result.
Therefore, even if the four major forces fight fiercely, there is still a basic tacit understanding, which is also the consensus of most monks. The four major merchant alliances are the link among them. Even from the beginning of the war to the present, the shops of the major merchant alliances on various islands in the outer sea are still operating.
"How strong is the monster clan in the outer sea?" Han Yunzhisu filled a cup of spiritual tea with a pot in his hand, and then pushed it forward.
"Xiao Qi should know very well, haven't you asked her?" Mo Juren smiled and took the spirit tea, took a brief sip, and suddenly felt the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, and secretly praised in his heart that this 'Autumn Moon Dew' deserves to be so famous. , it is indeed a good tea.
"I haven't asked in detail. I only know that the Chaotic Star Sea belongs to the demon clan, and the human monks can only live in the inner sea. Once they reach the outer sea, they will be at a disadvantage." Han Yunzhi nodded and replied.
"That's true." Mo Juren rationalized his thoughts and then explained.
"The Sea of Chaotic Stars is vast and vast. It was originally the world of the Monster Clan, and the Human Race was a latecomer. The Inner Sea seems to be quite large, but in the entire Star Sea, it is only a corner.
And this was achieved bit by bit by countless ancestors who spent endless years starting from scratch.
There are countless types of monsters living in the endless sea, some are powerful, some are weak, and their numbers are as vast as the stars. I am afraid no one can really count them all.
However, the overall situation of the Monster Clan is not a secret. Unlike the Human Clan, there is no such thing as a sect, but is divided by ethnic groups.
The most powerful among them is the 'Suanni Royal Clan', which has two tenth-level experts. Next is the dragon clan. Although there is only one person who has reached level ten, the number of monsters below level ten is no less than the former.
There are many similar super clans, and there are countless vassals of other ethnic groups under their command, which together form the huge whole of the outer sea monster clan..."
After recounting the situation he knew in detail, Han Yunzhi suddenly became enlightened and had a more accurate understanding of the situation in the outer sea. (End of chapter)
