Chapter 647 Ninety-nine Continents, Journey to China

——In the 9004th year of the Yuan Yang calendar, the Chang'an Project officially began.

Five people, Liu Yu, Zhuo Mengzhen, Mu Yunyan, Gao Jianhan, and Canglou Laodao, ventured into the Hengduan Mountains and started their journey to the Central Territory.

——In the 9032nd year of the Yuan Yang calendar, a group of people were spotted by the Fire Phoenix tribe when they were crossing the Xinghuo Mountains. Liu Yu sacrificed the "Ten Thousand Miles Talisman" and took Zhuo Meng Zhenshi through the Hengduan Mountains and arrived at the Annan Protectorate. Mansion.

As for the other three, they don’t know whether they are alive or dead.

——In the 9040th year of the Yuan Yang calendar, the battle of Lingwu City ended. Liu Yu accepted Zhang Yi as his direct disciple, officially left the Annan Protectorate, and began to contact the world of immortality in the Central Region.

It took thirty-six years for Liu Yu to officially arrive at the Central Territory controlled by the human race.

After a gap of hundreds of thousands of years, the Central Territory once again welcomed visitors from Tiannan.

————————————————————

"Whizzing"

The pure magic power in Liu Yu's body surged, and in just a few breaths, he caught up with Zhang Ziping and the others who were one step ahead.

Five rays of light pierced the sky and fled away from Lingzhou.

Before leaving, he once again looked back deeply at the looming Lingwu City in the distance through the gap in the "Thousand Mountains Soul Locking Formation".

Although he couldn't see it clearly, Liu Yu had already sketched a picture in his mind.

Sections of the city walls collapsed, and wisps of black smoke rose from the city. The Zhang family monks were racing against time to repair them.

It was only for a short period of time, and no matter how much repairs were done, the traces left by the previous battle could not be removed.

Remains of spells, as if they were born this way, are engraved on sections of the city walls that are either intact or incomplete without any sense of disobedience.

"Glory is nothing but rust on the shield and sword."

Drawing a picture of Lingwu City at this time in his mind, Liu Yu suddenly recalled this sentence and gained a deeper understanding of war.

Then he turned his head, paying attention to the situation along the way, and fled with all his heart.

To the Annan Six Continents, he has always been a passerby, and this place is no longer the "Annan Protectorate" it once was.

On the right, Zhang Yi was a little dishonest and struggled to look back.

"Great-great-grandfather."

The son murmured, saying goodbye to the elder who had taken care of him since he was raised. He still felt a lot of reluctance in his heart.

But Zhang Yi remembered Zhang Tao's instructions and the sincere instructions before leaving, so he still suppressed the sadness in his heart and managed to put on a look of perseverance on his face.

As for the girl Zhuo Meng, she finally crossed the Hengduan Mountains and successfully left the six Annan continents controlled by the demon clan. She relaxed a lot and had a relaxed look on her face.

Originally, when they arrived in the Central Territory, the two of them should have broken up and gone their separate ways.

However, this woman never mentioned separation, and seemed to have no intention of going their separate ways for the time being, and still followed him closely.

Considering that Zhuo Mengzhen was in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir and had a certain level of strength, Liu Yu temporarily put aside the idea of ​​breaking up and agreed that this woman would follow him for the time being.

After all, when the sequelae of the exercise occur, it would be difficult to handle without a female cultivator by your side.

Liu is not a womanizer!

"Whizzing"

There were bursts of sound breaking through the air, and the five escaping lights, almost in no particular order, fled deep into the mountains and disappeared from the sight of many monks.

In the same place, those monks with dark pasts also had the idea of ​​forming a team and practicing together.

But for various reasons, it is still difficult to speak.

Even if he opened his mouth, there was no response from others due to various practical factors.

After waiting in place for about half a quarter of an hour, they still left in silence to experience their own destiny.

…

The Middle Territory is so vast that ordinary mortals cannot imagine it. Even if they spend their entire lives, they cannot reach from one end to the other.

The monks under the golden elixir are too weak to withstand the slightest storm, and they often never leave the "one continent" in their lifetime.

There are ninety-nine continents in the Central Region, and its territory is only slightly smaller than the other four regions combined.

Except for the six Annan continents that were finally opened up, each of the other ninety-three continents is at least as big as Chu.

Among them, the "Core Kyushu", the birthplace of the human race, is the most vast, favored by heaven and earth, and has nurtured countless rare resources for cultivating immortals.

It can be said that there are outstanding people, people with excellent spiritual roots and qualifications, and they emerge one after another from generation to generation.

Special qualifications such as spiritual bodies and divine bodies will also emerge in each generation.

Therefore, no matter which immortal dynasty, they must tightly control the core Kyushu and cannot tolerate the interference of other forces.

The control of the core Kyushu often indicates the strength of an immortal dynasty.

At the end of the Immortal Dynasty, various ominous signs often appear, and the significant decline in control of the core Kyushu is one of the most obvious signs.

The capital of Daqian is located in the "Shenzhou", one of the core nine states.

"Whizzing"

The light pierced the sky and flew about a thousand miles away from the six continents of Annan. On the horizon in the distance, there was a fairy city looming.

"Is this the "Demon Suppression City"?"

Looking at the looming fairy city in the distance, a name naturally appeared in Liu Yu's mind.

During the eight years he spent in the six Annan continents, he never gave up collecting information about the situation in the Central Region, and he was no longer as ignorant as he was when he first arrived.

Yunzhou is adjacent to Lingzhou. After the fall of the Annan Six Continents, it has become the frontline of the confrontation between the Central Territory and the Tiannan Demon Clan.

The "Demon Suppression City" was also established after the fall of the Annan Protectorate because it was necessary to guard against the demon clan.

The reason why it was built so far away, thousands of miles away from the "Thousand Mountain Spirit Locking Array", was also to prevent the demon clan from suddenly making a sneak attack.

After all, for demon cultivators of the third level and above, covering a distance of tens to hundreds of miles does not take much time.

"Whizzing"

As the light shuttled back and forth, Liu Yu's sight quickly zoomed in, and he gradually saw the city's appearance clearly.

The pitch-black city wall glowed with the unique cold color of metal. It did not emit a trace of brilliance under the sunlight, as if it had absorbed all the light.

The city is not large in scope. In terms of scale and area, it is far from comparable to Lingwu City and Changnan City.

But Liu Yu can be sure that the cost of building this city is definitely not lower than the two most important cities in the six Annan continents.

It's just that every section of the city wall is made of spiritual materials, and they use second-level spiritual materials!

"A fairy city with a radius of forty miles from left to right, the city walls are actually made of second-level spiritual materials."

"What a great gesture!"

"Even if the grade is a little lower, it can't stand up to the large number!"

"With so many spiritual materials in front of me, I'm afraid Nascent Soul Lord will also be tempted and think about them day and night."

"Such a grand gesture, if it were replaced by the Yuanyang Sect, even the entire sect would not be able to create it!"

Despite being prepared in advance, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw with his own eyes such a fairy city made entirely of second-level spiritual materials.

But when I think about the support of Qian Ting, everything is natural.

His sight continued to zoom in, and after ten breaths he could clearly see the faint rune array engraved on the city wall.

Although he knew nothing about battle tactics and only knew some basic knowledge, Liu Yu could still feel that these runes were not simple.

Even compared to the rune array in Lingwu City, it looks much more advanced. It must have been made by a master!

"Such an important city, even if the formation is not activated, it will be difficult for third-level demon cultivators to break through."

"If there is no fourth-level demon king, even if the number of third-level demon cultivators reaches a certain scale, it will still cost a huge price to break through."

"Similarly, it would be the same if it were a Golden Core cultivator."

With no expression on his face, Liu Yu looked at the "Demon Suppression City" standing in the distance with a faint evil aura, and information about this city flashed in Liu Yu's mind.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to prevent the sudden attack of the demon clan, the number of mortals in this city is very small.

Except for some specific groups of people who serve immortal cultivators, ordinary mortals are not allowed to enter at all.

After all, they are at the forefront of the confrontation. If a war breaks out with the demon clan one day, the mortals will be nothing more than a burden.

Not only that, but within the thousand-mile radius from the "Thousand Mountain Spirit Locking Formation" to the "Demon Suppression City", there were almost no people to be seen.

On the one hand, the monsters from the six Annan continents will come out from time to time to hunt for "blood food".

On the other hand, Qianting and Holy Land do not want to "capitalize the enemy".

"Fellow Taoist from the ancient city, after we enter the "Demon Suppression City" later, we will take the teleportation array and rush on. There is no need to fly away in person."

"The family has made arrangements for negotiating with the major fairy cities, and we will not be deliberately made difficult."

"Fellow Taoist, just keep silent."

At this time, a calm voice sounded in his ears. Zhang Ziping, wearing a light blue robe, flew close and said something meaningful.

As he spoke, he glanced at the monk in black robes, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"It looks ordinary. He is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, but he has the strength to hit the real person list. Is this the Messenger of Tiannan?"

After looking at Zhang Ziping for a few times, he looked back and thought to himself.

His strength is also among the best among his peers, and he can't help but compare himself with his opponent.

Zhang Ziping is one of the few monks in the Zhang family who knows Liu Yu's identity. When he thinks that he can cross the Hengduan Mountains and come to the central region, it seems that he is not unacceptable with such strength.

After all, being able to cross the dangerous Hengduan Mountains in itself represents some kind of extraordinary quality, otherwise the Hengduan Mountains would not have caused so many monks to fail.

"Gu understands that everything will be arranged by fellow Taoist Ziping and will not act rashly."

Liu Yu nodded slightly and said politely.

Since you are hitchhiking, you must abide by the owner's rules and not do anything casually.

"Zhang Yi, please ask fellow Taoist monks from the ancient city to take care of you. Please take care of me."

After a few breaths of silence, Zhang Ziping suddenly said.

The qualifications of the Tianlinggen are much better than those of the Alien Spiritual Root. It would be a pity to bury them just like this.

Moreover, he had been cared for by Zhang Tao in his early years, and coupled with the affection of the same clan, he really couldn't bear the good talents of the younger generations of the same clan to be buried.

All kinds of factors combined, this person couldn't help but speak.

"Fellow Taoist Ziping, please relax."

"Since Zhang Yi is now Gu's personal disciple, I will naturally carve this piece of jade carefully."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to face fellow Taoist Zhang Tao again."

Liu Yu smiled slightly and said seriously.

Hearing this, Zhang Ziping nodded slightly, and then brought Zhang Yi over, as if he wanted to give some instructions.

Liu Yu looked at this scene with a calm face and did not stop the communication between the two Zhang family members, but felt a little emotional in her heart.

I recall that when he was still in the early stages of Qi refining and an inconspicuous outer disciple of Yuanyang Sect, he had to plan everything by himself. Where could he have the care of his elders?

Even the uncle who belongs to the other school's lineage would never care about a small outer sect disciple.

How can Zhang Yi be treated like today? Not only is there no shortage of various cultivation resources, but his path has been arranged by the family elders.

As long as you follow the steps step by step and don't make any big mistakes, you can surpass more than 99% of the monks and condense the golden elixir easily.

Even the "famous teachers" have been arranged!

"The cycle of life and death is also a technical job~"

"I have to admit that some monks are born at the end of some monks."

Seeing the cordial exchange between the two Zhang family members, Liu Yu felt a little emotional.

…

"Whizzing"

The golden elixir monk's escape speed is already very fast. Even if he does not enter the explosive state, the distance of twenty or thirty miles can be covered in a few breaths.

"tread"

A group of six people landed at the north gate of Demon Suppression City.

Zhang Ziping had no intention of queuing up to enter the city. He simply said a few words and went straight to negotiate with the monks guarding the city.

Even if the powers at the level of gods are in decline now, they can still enjoy various privileges in the Central Region that are beyond the reach of ordinary monks.

Taking advantage of the gap, Liu Yu looked around casually, sizing up this important border city.

The spiritual sense can clearly sense that in the long queue in front of the city gate, strong or weak spiritual pressure is coming from one after another.

They are all cultivators, not a mortal mixed in.

All around, there were streaks of escaping light falling, revealing the monks covered in dust.

Most of the monks kept a respectful distance from Liu Yu and the others, and chose to walk around them when they saw them from a distance.

After all, a battle had just ended, and several of them had an evil aura that was completely different from ordinary monks.

Moreover, several Jindan monks gathered together, but they didn't look like they were easy to mess with.

"It seems that the number of Golden Core cultivators in the Central Territory is not as high as expected."

"That's right, although in theory one can cultivate immortality with spiritual roots, but due to factors such as qualifications and resources, only one person can advance to the next level."

"And when you reach the Golden Core realm, you have already gone through several rounds of survival of the fittest."

"Even if the resources for cultivating immortals are abundant in the Central Region, it is impossible for the golden elixir to spread all over the land. The Nascent Soul is not as good as a dog."

"Although the status of the Golden Core cultivators in the Central Territory is not as good as that of Tiannan. They can establish a sect and call themselves ancestors, but they will not be unknown people."

Among the monks he met, there were not many who had reached the golden elixir realm as expected, which made Liu Yu feel a little strange.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.

Even so, while Liu Yu stayed there for a moment, among the one or two hundred monks who came from all directions, there were three or four who had reached the golden elixir realm.

This ratio has far exceeded Tiannan.

Even including the "Monster Suppression City", the unique geographical location and the ability to go to the border to hunt monsters have attracted many monks who consider themselves to be powerful, and the proportion is still far higher than that of Tiannan.

"In the Central Region, although special magic weapons and instruments like the 'Spirit Ship' have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, the art of cultivating immortals has become mature."

"It also spawned the "ship refiner" and other professions that revolve around spiritual ships."

"But things like spiritual ships seem to be far from ordinary, let alone one that can be used by everyone."

Looking at the passing light, Liu Yu thought silently.

According to his observations, none of the thirty monks who came and went could control the spirit ship, which was less than one-thirtieth.

This is enough to show that the cost of building a spiritual ship is high, and the price is far beyond the reach of ordinary monks, even if it is only a spiritual ship of a corresponding level.

Not to mention a spiritual ship that is one level higher than a monk and can increase its combat power by a large level.

Looking around, there is not a single monk who can control high-level spiritual ships.

"On the contrary, the cassock seems to have become popular."

"Judging from the current situation, although the price of the robes is much higher than that of magical weapons of the same grade, it is still within the range that ordinary monks can afford."

"Ordinary monks grit their teeth, spend most of their wealth, and live frugally for decades, so they should be able to buy one."

"Of course, the ordinary monks here do not refer to casual cultivators."

Liu Yu's eyes passed over the monks and noticed the faint aura on some of the monks' clothes. Liu Yu speculated in his mind.

"And the concentration of the overall spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Central Region seems to be significantly higher than that in Tiannan."

"Even if they are not on the spiritual line and have not yet entered the city, the contrast is still somewhat obvious."

"This kind of spiritual energy concentration should be two-tenths of the first-order low-grade spiritual veins. This is just an ordinary area."

With no intention of communicating with others, Liu Yu habitually collected information about the area when he came to a strange area.

His spiritual sense spreads out, and he can clearly feel the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth, which is obviously higher than Tiannan.

After all, he had lived in Tiannan for more than a hundred years, and he was extremely sure of it.

"That's right, only if the concentration of the overall spiritual energy of heaven and earth is higher, can more spiritual beings be bred and support so many monks."

"Otherwise it's just a vast area, which doesn't make any sense."

This thought flashed through his mind.

In fact, as early as in the Annan Six Continents, Liu Yu had faintly felt that the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had increased.

But it wasn't obvious at the time, so it wasn't confirmed at the first time.

If you estimate carefully, even if it is not above the spiritual veins, the richness of the spiritual energy of Yunzhou Heaven and Earth is about two-tenths of the first-level low-grade spiritual veins.

As for the six Annan continents, it is at most one-tenth.

As for Tian Nan, he cannot reach the level estimated by his spiritual veins. He simply absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice. If he cultivates with spiritual root qualifications, his speed will be as slow as a turtle crawling.

"This means that with the same spiritual root qualifications, those born in the Central Region are more likely to go further than those born in Tiannan."

"The importance of birth."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu shook his head slightly, with a wry smile on his lips.

Beside him, Zhuo Mengzhen was also looking around thoughtfully, and he should have noticed this.

At this time, Zhang Ziping completed the negotiation with the monks guarding the city and came over and said:

"It's alright, fellow Taoist from the ancient city, I'll continue on my way after this."

Liu Yu nodded lightly and led Zhuo Mengzhen and the others straight towards the city gate.

Under the attention of various monks with different cultivation levels, they skipped the queue to enter the city and entered the Demon Suppression City directly.

"Which big force is this monk from?"

"The cultivation level is not at the Yuan Ying level, but it can allow the city-defending monks to open up. Is it at least a god-level force?"

"Holy land? Aristocratic family?"

Seeing the six people disappearing at the city gate, the monks who were slowly queuing up began to speculate in their hearts.

But their own level of strength is insufficient, and they do not have a strong background, so they can only follow the rules and line up slowly.

With the Zhang family's strong relationship network opening the way, the six of them traveled smoothly without any hindrance in this important city, and arrived at the teleportation hall smoothly.

"buzz"

The formation trembled slightly, the runes gradually lit up, and the milky white aura shone.

When the spiritual light shone to the extreme, it dimmed again, and the six people in the formation had disappeared.

In this way, with everything arranged by the Zhang family in advance, Liu Yu, Zhang Ziping and others rushed through the teleportation arrays in the major fairy cities.

In a short period of time, it has covered extremely long distances and traveled between fairy cities in various continents.

If you choose to escape, even with the speed of a Golden Core cultivator, it will take at least several months or even years.

And because of the "teleportation array" derived from cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts, it only takes one day.

…

"buzz"

The teleportation array trembled slightly, and suddenly there was a great aura, but when the aura dimmed, six figures had already appeared in it.

"What a rich aura of heaven and earth."

"Even without the blessing of spiritual veins, it is almost four-tenths of the concentration of first-order low-grade spiritual veins."

The powerful physical body of the late third level, coupled with the experience of riding the teleportation array many times, made Liu Yu wake up from a trance for just a moment, without any sequelae of riding the teleportation array.

His spiritual sense spread out, feeling the concentration of spiritual energy around him, and he made a calm calculation in his mind.

At this time, it was already one day later.

During this day, Liu Yu and others traveled between fairy cities, quickly crossing the long distances between continents, and arrived at the "core Kyushu" of the Central Region.

"Xuanyuan Immortal City"

"Xuanyuan City is located on the edge of the Divine Continent. Fellow Taoist from the ancient city, we have arrived at the Divine Continent at this time."

"After teleporting a few more times, we can reach the "Shenjing"."

Beside him, Zhang Ziping spoke out, then walked out of the teleportation array.

Looking at the monks coming and going in the teleportation hall, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

After coming to Shenjing, he will not return to the Six Continents of Annan for a long time.

Zhang Ziping understood the family's intentions.

Because of his excellent qualifications, he has reached the peak of the golden elixir before he was four hundred years old. The probability of success in Ningying is very high, so he was arranged to take this trip to stay away from the six continents where the war is about to start.

In case something unexpected happens over there, it would be best to keep some seeds with excellent qualifications as the family's hope for a comeback.

But even so, I have enjoyed the convenience of the family for hundreds of years, but now I am unable to fight side by side when the family needs it.

Zhang Ziping still felt guilty and could not accept this arrangement with peace of mind!

"Yes, we have arrived at Shenzhou, not far from Shenjing."

Liu Yu nodded slightly, then hugged the still dizzy Zhang Yi with one hand and walked out of the teleportation array.

In his eyes as dark as ink,

Shining with the luster of reason,

After scanning the monks in the hall, he understood that this must be a new beginning!
