#2718 - The new era of Hunyuan
Mo Qingli pointed a finger in a direction, indicating that the Great Tomb Fortress was over there, but it was hidden by other mountains and could not be seen.
The Great Tomb Fortress is very mysterious, and no one has ever discovered its secrets.
Perhaps the ancient Emperor Realm experts know its true secrets, but the world does not know, and no Emperor Realm expert has ever mentioned it.
On the surface, the Great Tomb Fortress is actually no different from an ordinary mountain.
It has many peaks, and overall, it is difficult to associate it with a tomb.
However, the ancient legends about the Great Tomb Fortress say that it contains countless large tombs inside.
Those large tombs are of unknown origin and from an unknown era.
The depths of the Great Tomb Fortress are full of mystery and the unknown, and also full of danger.
"Listening to you, that Great Tomb Fortress is indeed extraordinary, hiding unknown secrets.
Although dangerous, it may also hide opportunities.
A legend can last for ages, and during this long period, countless cultivators have gone to explore it. Even today, Bai Sha Ancient Town is still lively, which shows that the legend of the Great Tomb Fortress is not groundless.
At least, in this long period, people have discovered many clues that can corroborate some of the legends, which has made the world deeply believe in it until today."
"Lord, what you say makes sense. Many good things have indeed been unearthed from the Great Tomb Fortress, such as elixirs and magical artifacts refined in various ancient times.
Moreover, the heaven and earth energy in the Great Tomb Fortress is much richer than in other places, especially the lunar energy.
Every night, when the moon comes out, you can see a large amount of moonlight gathering in the Great Tomb Fortress, forming a spectacle.
Therefore, the Great Tomb Fortress is rich in various immortal herbs.
Although the grades are not high, and most of them are ordinary immortal herbs, they cannot arouse the interest of high-level cultivators, but for small forces and rogue cultivators, it is a place of hope that may lead them to a different path in life.
There is a village near the Great Tomb Fortress, which is very close to the Great Tomb Fortress, almost bordering its edge.
The people in that village have benefited a lot from the Great Tomb Fortress.
The people in the village have mediocre qualifications, but everyone has cultivation.
The Great Tomb Fortress is particularly special to them.
When many forces explore the Great Tomb Fortress, they will choose to let the people of that village lead the way.
It is said that the people in their village have never encountered any major accidents when entering the Great Tomb Fortress, and everyone can come out alive.
Although many strange things have happened, such as getting lost inside and losing some memories about the inside after coming out, without exception, they all survived and were not in danger of their lives.
Others are different. Many people disappear in the Great Tomb Fortress, with no news at all, disappearing from the world, or dying inside, and the next day their bodies appear on the edge of the Great Tomb Fortress for no reason."
"What's the name of that village? It's a bit interesting."
"It's called Moon Village.
The origin of the name of this Moon Village is also quite interesting.
It is said that when the village was first established in a certain era, someone in the village called out to the moon, and there would be a strange voice from inside the Great Tomb Fortress responding.
The name Moon Village came from this."
"It's not an echo, is it?"
Jun Wuxie joked with a smile.
"It shouldn't be. If it were an echo, they should still be able to tell.
At that time, the ancestors of that village felt strange and wanted to abandon this place and find another place.
However, at that time, they were forced by the situation to come here to escape the disaster, and in addition to the strange echo, no other strange phenomena occurred, so they settled here.
Since then, Moon Village has multiplied from generation to generation to this day.
However, their population is not large.
Over the long years, the population of Moon Village has only increased several times compared to the time when the village was first built.
When I came here back then, the total population of Moon Village was only over a thousand people.
Tens of thousands of years have passed since I left, and I don't know how many people there are in Moon Village today."
Mo Qingli talked about many things he knew in the past.
It's just that tens of thousands of years have passed, and the world has changed.
I don't know if the current Moon Village is still the same as it was back then.
This place is not very far from Moon Village. Originally, with their divine sense, they could cross this distance to sense it.
But the area happens to be on the edge of the Great Tomb Fortress.
The Great Tomb Fortress is too mysterious. Itself and the surrounding areas are covered with mysterious fields, so that the divine sense of cultivators cannot reach it, and it will be greatly restricted or even isolated.
"Lord, you don't want to explore the Great Tomb Fortress, do you?"
Mo Qingli looked at the expression on his face and roughly guessed what he was thinking.
"You told me so much about the Great Tomb Fortress, how can I not be interested in it?
You also want to explore the secrets of the Great Tomb Fortress, right?"
"Qingli does have this idea.
I thought about it back then, and even my Taiqing Sect sent people here many times, but in the end, we got nothing.
The Great Tomb Fortress, it's like a mystery.
However, now my realm is too far from what it was back then.
If I go to the Great Tomb Fortress, I think it should be much safer.
However, Lord, you have just arrived, and both of our identities are too sensitive. It's better to keep a low profile at this stage. Hiding ourselves is the top priority.
Once we enter the Great Tomb Fortress, if we make any noise and attract attention, it may be unfavorable to us.
Yuzhou has a powerful immortal sect called Jinyun Immortal Sect.
This place also belongs to the sphere of influence of Jinyun Immortal Sect."
"Qingli, you are right. We need to be safe for the time being.
To better hide our identities, we need to obtain a new identity.
For example, joining a sect or a dynasty is fine.
With a sect behind us, doing various things will be smoother, we won't be too noticed, and we won't easily attract others' targeting."
"If Lord wants to join a sect, then the Jinyun Immortal Sect in Yuzhou is a good choice.
In this vast Yuzhou, there are several top sects, and Jinyun Sect is one of them.
The place where we are now belongs to the sphere of influence of Jinyun Immortal Sect. If we want to choose, Jinyun Immortal Sect is the best choice.
It's just that the time for Jinyun Immortal Sect to recruit disciples has always been uncertain.
I don't know when they last recruited disciples.
We can only wait slowly.
For now, let's go to Bai Sha Ancient Town to find an inn to stay in temporarily, and then slowly obtain information and understand the current situation of this Hunyuan Great World.
Although this place is remote, there are many people coming and going, and perhaps someone knows about things outside of Yuzhou."
"If Junior Brother were here, he would definitely be very excited."
Jun Wuxie looked in the direction of the Great Tomb Fortress.
No one would be more interested in this kind of place than Xu Daoling.
……
He and Mo Qingli walked out of the mountains and walked along the official road towards Bai Sha Ancient Town.
They had already changed their appearances, using the Eight Nine Mysterious Arts.
Although Mo Qingli did not know the Eight Nine Mysterious Arts, with the power of the Eight Nine Mysterious Arts injected by Jun Wuxie, he could still perfectly change his appearance.
Below the Emperor Realm, it is impossible to see any flaws at all.
Not only their appearances, but even their manners and expressions, they have made some changes, completely different from the past.
It was already approaching dusk.
Because of the time formation, the time period of Shengu is not aligned with that of the Hunyuan Great World.
When they left Shengu, it was only in the morning, but when they arrived here, it was already approaching sunset.
The ancient town is not big or small, but it is also quite large.
It looks relatively prosperous, with antique buildings and a sense of historical precipitation.
However, because this place is not very far from the Great Tomb Fortress, and the people coming and going are mostly for the Great Tomb Fortress, and many people sell various things obtained from the Great Tomb Fortress here, this ancient town has a slight sense of gloom as it approaches night.
They came to an inn called Yuanlai Inn.
This inn is the largest in the ancient town, and it looks relatively grand, with various architectural styles and a very good environment.
The inn also has empty courtyards. Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli wanted one, but when it came to paying, they were embarrassed.
Mo Qingli was once a big figure in the Hunyuan Great World. When he fled to Shengu, he naturally brought the currency of this world that he usually carried with him.
When she took out the currency, the innkeeper looked at her and Jun Wuxie with surprised eyes.
"Fairy, you are not deliberately teasing me, are you?
This kind of currency has been abolished for ten thousand years.
I didn't expect that the fairy still carries this kind of currency with her.
You wouldn't have been in seclusion for ten thousand years and didn't know that the currency has been updated for ten thousand years, would you?"
Mo Qingli was slightly stunned and couldn't say anything for a while.
The previous hard currency has been abolished?
This kind of currency has been used for tens of thousands of years and has been circulating in the Hunyuan Great World.
As a result, it can't be used now.
"Shopkeeper, we have indeed not been born for ten thousand years. We were unlucky and strayed into a certain place and couldn't get out. We were lucky enough to escape recently.
I'm really sorry, we didn't know that the previous currency has been abolished.
May I ask, what exactly is going on, who has the ability to replace the currency that has been circulating in the Hunyuan Great World for tens of thousands of years?"
Mo Qingli said little, this was asked by Jun Wuxie.
His attitude was very good, with a look of humbly asking for advice.
The shopkeeper's expression softened when he heard this.
It seems that they are not deliberately trying to find fault and want to stay at the overlord store.
"So that's how it is, then the two guests are really unlucky.
Fortunately, you have now escaped, which is a blessing in misfortune.
The currency of our Hunyuan World was personally abolished by the Heavenly Dao Order ten thousand years ago.
The Heavenly Dao has opened Heavenly Dao Banks all over the world, responsible for currency issuance and circulation, as well as controlling commodity prices.
Since the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Bank, the currency has been much more stable than before, and there have been no major fluctuations.
What we use now is called Heavenly Dao Coin."
The shopkeeper spoke as he opened the drawer, taking out several banknotes of different denominations.
“This kind of Heavenly Dao Coin is different from previous currencies; it is made of special paper.
Of course, with the means of the Heavenly Dao Bank, there is no need for manpower to produce it.”
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli took the Heavenly Dao Coins and examined them.
The smallest denomination was one cent, then one block, ten blocks… the largest was one hundred blocks, very thin, with a great feel in the hand, engraved with a Primordial Tai Chi pattern interwoven with Dao patterns.
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli exchanged a look, then returned the Heavenly Dao Coins to the shopkeeper, “Excuse me, is there a pawn shop in town?”
“Of course, you two can go out, follow this street to the end, then turn left, enter another street, and you will soon see the pawn shop.”
“Thank you, shopkeeper. Please keep this courtyard for us for the time being. We will be right back.”
“Okay, I will keep it for you, and definitely not give it to others within half an hour.”
The shopkeeper said, glancing in other directions of the hall, then whispered, “You two guests, don’t tell others what you just said.
Our White Sand Ancient Town is a mixed bag; there are all kinds of people.
You two have had a strange experience. If others find out, it’s hard to guarantee that someone won’t overthink it and develop malicious intentions.
I’ve seen too many similar things. I’m kindly reminding you; whether you take it to heart depends on yourselves.”
“We will certainly take the shopkeeper’s kind reminder to heart. Thank you.”
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli left side by side.
The shopkeeper watched their gradually receding figures, lost in thought.
These two actually don’t know that the currency has been changed.
They just escaped and don’t know about the currency change, which means that this is the first time they have entered a town and made a purchase since escaping.
Then, the place that trapped them must be nearby.
Near White Sand Ancient Town, what dangerous places are there?
The answer seems self-evident.
Only the Great Burial Mound.
Could it be that they were trapped in the Great Burial Mound Mountains for ten thousand years?
If so, they must know many secrets that the world does not know.
“I hope you have good luck and are not targeted by anyone.”
The shopkeeper sighed in his heart, glancing at certain positions in the hall.
People were tasting the local dishes of White Sand Town in those places.
Before, when the couple mentioned being trapped, many people had glanced over.
“I hope you won’t get into trouble because of this; otherwise, how can I live with myself?”
The shopkeeper regretted saying something about being trapped for ten thousand years.
He was just joking at the time, but he didn’t expect it to come true.
The couple’s admission may become their misfortune.
Too many people from various forces are paying attention to the Great Burial Mound.
From ancient times to the present, I don’t know how many people have wanted to explore the secrets of the Great Burial Mound.
…
Not long after, Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli returned to the inn.
They went to the pawn shop and successfully exchanged some money for cultivation resources.
Pawning resources allowed them to initially understand the gold content of the Primordial Great World’s current currency.
Resources equivalent to a Second Grade Heavenly God, corresponding to what cultivators in the Eternal Life Realm need—Heavenly Source Immortal Jade—are still considered relatively special resources.
Two catties of flawless Heavenly Source Immortal Jade actually only exchanged for ten thousand blocks!
You must know that this amount of two catties is enough for a cultivator in the Eternal Life Realm to break through several realms.
Although pawning itself is a big loss, much lower than the normal market price, pawn shops make a huge profit from this price difference.
But even so, it’s still quite outrageous.
Although the cultivation civilization level of the Primordial Great World is high.
The Eternal Life Realm is not something everyone can reach.
Many elders of small forces are only at this realm. In medium-sized forces, the Eternal Life Realm is considered a minor management figure.
They wanted the courtyard they had previously looked at.
The price is fifty a day. If you pay for seven days in a row, you can get a 10% discount.
“Shopkeeper, you really know how to do business.”
Jun Wuxie paid the money, but did not pay for seven consecutive days. They didn’t know how long they would stay here.
He was a little surprised in his heart.
The accommodation costs in this White Sand Ancient Town are simply outrageous.
The Heavenly Dao Coin is too valuable. You can see it from the fact that Heavenly Source Immortal Jade can be pawned for about ten thousand blocks.
A remote ancient town, a courtyard in an inn, costs fifty a day!
This means that the resources that can allow a cultivator in the Eternal Life Realm to break through several realms are only enough to live in this inn for a few years.
Such consumption cannot be said to be expensive, but it is outrageously expensive!
“Respected guests, please don’t complain about our inn’s high prices.
Our inn is officially designated and is the safest inn in our White Sand Ancient Town.
As long as you live in our inn, you can be guaranteed to be safe and sound. Safety issues can be guaranteed.”
“Oh? What official are you referring to, shopkeeper?”
“The Heavenly Dao Law Enforcement Hall.
The Heavenly Dao Law Enforcement Hall is all over the world, and we happen to have one in our town.
The Heavenly Dao Law Enforcement Hall upholds the will of the Heavenly Dao and maintains the order and rules of the human world.
We are the official inn designated by the Heavenly Dao Law Enforcement Hall. With the Heavenly Dao Law Enforcement Hall covering us, no one dares to run wild in the inn.”
…
After Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli entered the inn’s courtyard, they couldn’t help but look at each other.
They were both surprised in their hearts.
The current Primordial Great World is different from what he imagined, and different from what Mo Qingli previously understood.
The Heavenly Dao not only controls the issuance of currency throughout the world, but also established law enforcement halls everywhere to maintain order.
“Is it really the Heavenly Dao?
Or is it the work of a Dao-proving Emperor in the Primordial Great World over the past ten thousand years?”
Mo Qingli expressed suspicion.
The Heavenly Dao actually personally intervened. This has never happened before.
“No, it is undoubtedly the Heavenly Dao.
It can be confirmed from the special aura on the Heavenly Dao Coin.
Furthermore, whether anyone in the Primordial Great World has proven the Dao and become an Emperor in the past ten thousand years is still debatable.
In fact, this is also good. The Heavenly Dao controls the currency and the rules of order in the world, which can achieve fairness and justice. For the vast majority of people, this is a good thing.”
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he took out a book and carefully read it.
This was a book that the shopkeeper gave them, called the Primordial Order Handbook.
It recorded the laws formulated by the Heavenly Dao Order in the human world in the Primordial Great World.
