Chapter 1620: The Stronghold at the Border of the Divine Realm

The Demonic Abyss transformed by Xuanming and the Three Pure Ones Immortal Realm transformed by Qilin have not yet been affected by the ancient calamity.

The true immortals in these two great realms have been closely monitoring the movements of the Tianlong Realm.

Now Zhang Xuan has probably become the object of their close attention.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan had a cause and effect destiny chart, which concealed this cause and effect.

Another dangerous causal thread is thinner and more recently generated.

Zhang Xuan looked along this thread of cause and effect, and it was in the direction of the central ancestral vein.

At that time, the wooden stick was used as a Mahayana body, and the blood stained the blue sky.

At the critical moment, Mu Gun used his great magical power to pass the two treasures of the human race, the Order Divine Chain and the Human Emperor Sutra, to Zhang Xuan through the thread of cause and effect.

Logically, the wooden stick had erased all the cause and effect over there, but unexpectedly, it was still figured out by the central ancestral vein.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan had the karma disk to protect him, so the Central Ancestral Bloodline couldn't find him for a while.

After upgrading these four much-needed ancient road maps, Zhang Xuan stopped.

At this time, 10 of the seventh-level elixirs had been refined into golden elixirs by the remaining body of the fairy ant.

Zhang Xuan began to refine these seventh-level golden elixirs.

A hundred years later.

Zhang Xuan has refined all 24 seventh-level golden pills tempered by the Taiqing Creation Diagram.

During this hundred years, his cultivation finally advanced to the late stage of fusion, and the scope of his law domain reached one million miles.

"This seventh-level elixir is indeed very useful. The effect of each seventh-level golden elixir is equivalent to half a piece of Heavenly Dao Immortal Crystal."

Unfortunately, Zhang Xuan does not have any seventh-level spiritual medicine on hand. Even if he has the ability to refine a seventh-level spiritual medicine, he cannot do anything without the necessary ingredients.

Although he did not have it on hand, among the seven inland river forces in the Dragon Ridge Divine Realm, each of the inland river forces occupied a seventh-level spiritual vein.

If there is a seventh-level spiritual vein, there must be a seventh-level spiritual field. If there is a seventh-level spiritual field, there must be seventh-level spiritual medicine.

He planned to go to the Sky-Splitting Divine Palace to take a look.

After all, the Sky-Splitting Divine Mansion is now under the control of You Wuya, who is no longer here. As You Wuya's old man, he should still have some weight in the Sky-Splitting Divine Mansion.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan left Broken Sky City directly and headed for the Sky-Splitting Divine Mansion.

With his cultivation level at the late stage of fusion, it only took him a few days to reach the Sky-Splitting Divine Mansion.

Met Zhan Wushuang who was at the peak of his power in the Sky-Splitting Divine Palace.

Zhan Wushuang was shocked to see that Zhang Xuan had advanced from the middle stage of fusion to the late stage of fusion in just a hundred years.

It often takes at least ten thousand years for a fusion cultivator to advance.

It's too shocking that the other party advanced so quickly.

However, when I think that the other party is the immortal king's old Taishan.

It is not surprising that the Immortal Lord has advanced to the late stage of fusion with just a little "care" from him.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I wonder what brings you to the Sky-Splitting Divine Palace?"

"It's like this. Recently, I have had the feeling that I can refine seventh-level spiritual pills, so I thought of borrowing a few seventh-level spiritual medicines from the Sky Splitting Divine Mansion."

Upon hearing this, the genius Zhan Wushuang was doubly shocked. The Immortal Lord's Old Taishan could actually refine a seventh-grade elixir.

This is too outrageous!

However, Zhan Wushuang frowned and said, "Although the Sky Splitting Divine Mansion has a seventh-level spiritual vein, it takes hundreds of years to cultivate seventh-level spiritual medicines on a seventh-level spiritual vein. In the past, Immortal Lord Wuya exhausted all the resources of the Sky Splitting Divine Mansion in his quest to reach the True Immortal realm."

"In other words, there are no remaining level seven spiritual medicines in the Sky-Splitting Divine Mansion's treasury?"

"That's right," Zhan Wushuang nodded and said, "Let alone seventh-level spiritual medicines, there are almost no high-level natural treasures left in the treasury."

After hearing this, Zhang Xuan showed disappointment on his face.

At this time, Zhan Wushuang said, "How about this, let's go find Daozun Du'e of Niyuan Tianhe together. Maybe he can think of a solution."

"it is good."

The two came to Niyuan Tianhe again.

Successfully met the Taoist Master Du'e.

Daozun Du'e was even more surprised than Zhan Wushuang when he saw Zhang Xuan advance to the late stage of fusion in just a hundred years.

When he heard that Zhang Xuan was able to refine a seventh-level elixir, Daoist Master Du'e was as surprised as the surging river.

He didn't expect that this immortal, Lao Taishan, could advance from a sixth-level alchemist to a seventh-level alchemist.

This is a big deal.

After all, in the entire Dragon Ridge Divine Realm, level seven alchemists are rare and there are no more than a handful of them.

However, facing Zhang Xuan coming to ask for medicine, Daozun Du'e said with regret: "This seventh-level spiritual medicine is extremely precious. The longer it is left, the easier it will lose its medicinal properties. So once it is mature, Niyuan Tianhe will immediately hand it over to a seventh-level alchemist to refine it into a pill."

"So there's no ready-made seventh-grade elixir here in Niyuan Tianhe?"

Daozun Du'e shook his head and said, "No."

Zhang Xuan showed a look of regret at this time.

After searching two inland river forces, which were ranked in the top three, I still couldn't find the seventh-level elixir. If I searched other inland river forces, I guess the result would be the same.

Just when Zhang Xuan was worried, Daoist Master Du'e said, "If Daoist Fellow Zhang really wants a seventh-grade elixir, there is a way."

Zhang Xuan was delighted when he heard Daoist Master Du'e say this, and immediately asked, "Does Daoist Master Du'e know how to find a seventh-tier elixir?"

Daoist Master Du'e showed a look of worry and hesitation at this moment, and said, "Yes, there is, but that place is extremely dangerous."

"Where?" Zhang Xuan asked directly.

"The border of the divine realm."

Hearing Daozun Du'e talking about this place, Zhang Xuan recalled it carefully and still had quite an impression of it.

I still remember that after You Wuya advanced to the True Immortal, he obtained a large amount of immortal gold from some ancient secret realms and the border areas of the divine domain.

The 30 pieces of Heavenly Dao Immortal Crystals given to Zhang Xuan were also obtained by You Wuya from the border of the Divine Realm.

The last time he was trading with the Star Lord in the Tianxing Divine Realm, the Star Lord of the Tianxing Divine Realm also mentioned that there were only 6 Mahayana cultivators in their Tianxing Divine Realm, and the Heavenly Dao Immortal Crystals obtained in the border areas of the Divine Realm were relatively limited, so he could only exchange 30 Heavenly Dao Immortal Crystals for Zhang Xuan.

From this, it can be judged that both the immortal gold and the heavenly immortal crystal are obtained from the border of the divine realm.

Today, Daoist Master Du'e mentioned this place again, and also said that there are seventh-level elixirs here.

Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully, "Is this border of the Divine Realm the boundary membrane of the Dragon Spine Divine Realm?"

Daozun Du'e nodded and said, "That's right."

"Why are there so many high-level natural treasures on the border of the Divine Realm?"

"The Divine Realm is like a boiling kettle. A large amount of spiritual energy, Dao rhyme, and fragments of rules within the boundless void of the Divine Realm are escaping towards the boundary. When these spiritual energy, Dao rhyme, and fragments of rules escape to the boundary membrane, they will be blocked by the Divine Realm's boundary membrane, and these spiritual energy, fragments of rules, and innate Dao rhyme will settle down."

"Originally, these things were extremely rare in the boundless void, but on the edge of the Dragon Spine Divine Realm, they precipitated more and more, becoming thicker and thicker. As a result, a large number of rare and precious natural materials and treasures were produced from this boundary membrane."

Zhang Xuan immediately understood and said, "So this borderland of the Divine Realm can produce Heavenly Dao Immortal Crystals, Seventh-Rank Spiritual Medicines, and even Immortal Gold, right?"

Daozun Du'e nodded and said, "Yes, most of the cultivation resources needed by Mahayana cultivators are also obtained from the border areas of the Divine Realm."

"Since there are so many good things at the border of the Divine Realm, why haven't I heard of any fusion cultivators going there?" Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.

"Although the borderland of the Divine Realm offers many opportunities, it is also extremely dangerous. Furthermore, the danger is terrifying. Even a Mahayana cultivator could fall into it if they are not careful. Therefore, the number of fusion cultivators who go there is naturally very small, and the number of fusion cultivators who can return alive from the borderland of the Divine Realm is even smaller."

At this time, Zhan Wushuang said, "Hasn't Commander Yu Shenwei been to the border of the Divine Realm before?"

Daozun Du'e nodded and said, "Commander-in-Chief of the Feather God Guards did indeed visit the borderland of the Divine Realm and returned alive. I heard he also obtained a lot of precious resources from there."

At this time, Zhan Wushuang said, "How about the three of us go together to find Chief Yu Shenwei and ask him to take us to the border of the Divine Realm?"

At this time, Daozun Du'e looked at Zhang Xuan, as if asking for Zhang Xuan's opinion.

Zhan Wushuang further said, "Even among the combined cultivators of the Dragon Spine Divine Realm, the four of us are considered to be at the top of the combat power. Back then, the Chief of the Feather God Guards ventured into the border of the Divine Realm alone and still managed to return alive. If the four of us join forces to explore, our chances of survival will be even greater, and we may be able to obtain more opportunities at the border of the Divine Realm."

Zhan Wushuang has said so much. If Zhang Xuan backs down at this time, it would be too unreasonable and would easily lose the face of You Wuya, the old Taishan.

Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go find the chief of the Feather God Guards and go to the border of the Divine Realm together."

The three of them came to Jixu and found the chief of Yushenwei.

When the head of the Feather God Guard heard that the three of them were going to the border of the Divine Realm, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He said, "Back then, I only had a few opportunities on the outskirts of the Divine Realm. Even so, I almost died there. Have you three really thought it through?"

Zhang Xuan said, "We three have naturally anticipated these dangers, and this time we won't go too deep into the border of the Divine Realm. We will just acquire some resources that the Fusion cultivators can use on the outskirts."

The head of the Feather God Guards pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then the four of us can indeed join forces and go on this expedition."

After the four of them had made their decision, they began to fly towards the border of the divine realm.

On the way, the chief of the Feather God Guards also briefed several people on the situation of his last visit to the stronghold at the border of the divine realm.

In fact, not all areas on the border of the divine realm have opportunities, and the boundary membrane of the entire Dragon Ridge Divine Realm is not uniform in thickness.

For example, the boundary membrane between the Dragon Spine Divine Realm and the Sky Star Divine Realm was so thin that it disappeared directly, which was not an exception.

There are a few pits in this membrane.

Only these pits can absorb the spiritual energy, Tao rhyme, and fragments of rules that escape from the boundless void.

This pit formed a stronghold on the border of the divine realm.

Only in this stronghold can everyone get the opportunity.

Different strongholds also have different dangers.

These strongholds are generally known only to a few Mahayana cultivators, but by chance, Chief Yu Shenwei obtained a map of the strongholds on the border of the divine realm, which enabled him to successfully find this stronghold and come to the outskirts, where he gained some opportunities.

And this time, the place where Chief Yu Shenwei took them was exactly this stronghold.

The chief of the Feather God Guards also once presented this stronghold to the Ghost Emperor.

However, when the Ghost King was inspecting the periphery, he found that this stronghold was extremely strange.

A cultivator of the fusion state may be able to come out alive if he enters, but a cultivator of the Mahayana state will definitely die if he enters.

The Ghost Emperor also advised Chief of the Feather God Guards not to enter this place.

This time he brought three people with him, but the chief of the Feather God Guard still kept it a secret from the Ghost Emperor.

They flew for several months, and even Zhang Xuan couldn't remember how far they had traveled, but they finally arrived at the stronghold that the chief of the Yu Shenwei mentioned.

There was a chaotic scene here, with a large number of broken bones and shattered star ships swaying around the outskirts of this stronghold.

What is even more frightening is that a series of combined Taoist shadows, like corpses, remain in a cross-legged posture and float around the outskirts of the stronghold.

There was no light in the eyes of these combined Taoist figures, only endless emptiness and dead silence.

These lifeless combined Taoist figures looked like strange stone statues or ice sculptures, making people feel numb all over.

The chief of the Feather God Guards said, "These combined Dao images were formed after the combined Dao monks who broke into this place in the past fell. These combined Dao images should be what they looked like before they died."

As he spoke, the chief of the Feather God Guards even introduced the identities of several bodies.

"The old man surrounded by nine-colored dragon energy is the Nine Dragons Venerable, who terrorized the Dragon Spine Divine Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago. The golden-armored fusion being pinned in mid-air by a broken sword is the Bladeless Divine Sovereign, who lived even earlier, nearly a million years ago. These peak-level fusion cultivators have all left illustrious reputations over the past million years, crushing those of their peers in fusion. Now, they have all perished in this stronghold on the border of the Divine Realm."

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath after hearing this.

Looking at these combined Taoist shadows, he only felt that there was an all-pervasive aura of death and resentment outside the stronghold, forming a great fear.

He even wanted to use his own magical powers of the law of cause and effect and the law of time to calculate the good or bad luck of this trip, but the energy in this stronghold was too complex and the cause and effect involved were too great, so he could not make any deduction at all.

The chief of the Feather God Guards also had a sharp look in his eyes at this time. He glanced at the other three and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's go in."

The chief of the Feather God Guards took the lead and entered the stronghold, and the other three also followed the chief of the Feather God Guards and resolutely entered the stronghold.

As soon as I entered the stronghold, I felt a strong pressure all around me.

A strong storm of shattered space and time was constantly blowing in the stronghold. Fragments of laws and rules were mixed in the storm of space and time, like blades, constantly cutting the realm of the laws of the Tao, making a squeaking sound.

There is also the resentful and dead energy of the combined monks who died in the periphery, emitting all kinds of strange laughter that go straight to the primordial spirit, trying to penetrate the cracks in the heart of Taoism and attract the inner demons of those who enter.

The deeper you go into the stronghold, the clearer the sense of grand oppression becomes.

Zhang Xuan felt that this stronghold seemed to be able to breathe, constantly expanding, and after expanding to the extreme, it would shrink.

And this powerful energy kept breathing with this rhythm, like a monster with intelligence.

"Could this stronghold have already developed intelligence?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but wonder.
