Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The Rock Wasteland was much more desolate than Zhou Yang imagined.

He got the news from the mortal herdsmen, knowing that he could reach a land of lofty mountains tens of thousands of miles west, so he flew all the way west with his sword.

However, where he flew all the way, there were only a few shrubs and weeds growing. Many places were simply weathered rock areas, and there were rocks exposed on the ground everywhere. No wonder it was called the Rocky Wasteland.

He didn't know if there were any other cultivators living here besides the spiritual mountain he saw earlier, anyway, he didn't see any cultivators along the way.

And after he flew westward for more than 30,000 miles, he did see the lofty mountains that the herdsmen were talking about.

It was a stretch of mountains of unknown length. Zhou Yangyuan lifted up the "Lihuo Golden Eyes" in the sky hundreds of miles away and looked at them. He could see that there were many snow-capped peaks in the mountains, and he could also see the shining peaks. The aura of the purpose rises from some peaks, obviously there are spiritual veins on those peaks.

After watching the continuous mountains from afar for a while, Zhou Yang didn't have any intention of approaching, and quickly turned around and returned to the Rocky Wilderness.

He didn't need to think about it, he knew that there must be high-level monks in the mountains, and there might even be a sect of cultivating immortals taking root there. As he still didn't know anything about this place in the far west, he couldn't help it. Venture to the past to meet other monks of the same rank.

Otherwise, when communicating, he would easily reveal his flaws and be suspected of his origin.

Back in the resting place of the Zhou family outside the valley, Zhou Yang explained the situation to Taoist Xiao Ying and a few Foundation Establishment monks, and then took Xu Song to those herdsmen's tribes to guard.

On this day, Zhou Yang, who had been squatting in the herdsmen's tribe for several days, finally waited for the immortal master who came down from the "holy mountain" to test the spiritual roots of the herdsmen's children.

There are a total of seven of these so-called immortal masters. Except for the leading monk who is in the early stage of foundation establishment, the other six are all in the late stage of Qi training.

At this time, those children in the herdsman tribe who had not tested their spiritual root aptitude had already been led by their parents to an open space by the lake in advance and waited in line.

Those immortal cultivators who came down from the "Holy Mountain" arrived at the open space by the lake by riding a second-rank low-grade monster "Blue Wind Horse". A white crystal mirror came out.

He raised a crystal mirror and hung it above a door frame, and the mirror light shone a distance in front of the door frame, and then let the herdsmen who were carrying children lead the children through the mirror light one by one.

If the mirror shines on someone who has a spiritual root, the crystal mirror will emit colorful aura.

At this time, a monk in the Qi training period will immediately take the child aside and perform a "spirit test" to conduct a specific spiritual root qualification test.

If there is no spiritual root, the crystal mirror will not have any reaction.

With such a division of labor and cooperation, the detection speed is very fast.

There are several herdsmen tribes with hundreds of thousands of people, and the number of children born and survived within three years is less than 20,000. With the detection speed of the mirror light, one day is enough to complete the whole process.

When all the procedures were completed, it was dark, and those so-called fairy masters did not take the four children with spiritual roots detected today back to the "Holy Mountain" at night, but stayed in the herdsmen's tribe.

It was night, the moon and the stars were sparse, and the seven so-called immortal masters who stayed in the herdsmen's tribe each embraced several beautiful women presented by the herdsmen's tribe and had fun in the tent.

It was in this situation that Zhou Yang and Xu Song sneaked into the tent to catch people and understand the situation.

With Xu Song's help, even the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Period was completely captivated by what was going on, and answered all Zhou Yang's questions honestly.

Time was limited, and Zhou Yang didn't ask too many questions. He mainly asked the points he cared about.

After asking, he asked Xu Song to control the foundation-building monk to take out a few jade slips from his storage bag and copy them again, and then quietly left the tribe with one person and one ghost.

On the second day, the foundation-building cultivator and several Qi-training cultivators woke up. Except for the foundation-building cultivator who walked out of the tent to look around in surprise, the rest of the Qi-training cultivators had no memory of what happened last night.

In fact, it was the Foundation Establishment cultivator. He didn't remember what happened last night at all, but he just vaguely felt that someone seemed to ask him something last night, but when he wanted to recall what happened last night, it was I can't recall anything.

This situation made the foundation-building cultivator even more frightened. He knew very well that something must have happened last night, and he must have been tricked by someone.

Although he didn't know what he explained last night, he didn't dare to stay in the herdsman tribe any longer. Even if he urged a few monks in the Qi training period to bring the new disciples back to the mountain gate, he directly controlled the sword. Feifei returned to the mountain gate, and the senior officials of Xunmen reported what happened last night.

It's just that his memory of last night was erased by Xu Song with a secret method. Unless he succeeded in forming alchemy in the future, or a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage helped him, it would be impossible to recall what happened last night.

No matter which of these two kinds, it is basically not something he can do.

At this time, Zhou Yang and Xu Song had returned to the "Valley of Falling Demons" and sorted out their income from last night.

"Falling Demon Valley" is the world in the valley that trapped Zhou Yang and the others for two years. Thousands of years ago, this place was a fairy city built by the Great Bright Immortal Palace. Outside the formation, there is a fifth-level high-grade spiritual mountain and several fourth-level spiritual mountains, as well as tens of thousands of monks and millions of mortals.

However, a serious civil strife occurred in the Great Bright Immortal Palace thousands of years ago. Those sects and monks who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Great Bright Immortal Palace in the extreme west immediately formed an organization called "Backlight Alliance" and jointly crusade against the Great Bright Immortal. Asgard.

At that time, the "Backlight Alliance" was a mixed bag, not only immortal cultivators, but also demon cultivators, all gathered to deal with the Great Bright Immortal Palace.

At that time, it was a group of demon monks who attacked Xiancheng.

After these demonic monks invaded the Immortal City, in order to break the protective formation on the fifth-level high-grade Lingshan in the center of the Immortal City, they did not hesitate to sacrifice blood to millions of mortals in the Immortal City area and many monks from the Great Bright Immortal Palace, and set up a terrifying magic formation for use. Break through the big mountain guard array by breaking the array.

At that time, the guardian of the Great Bright Immortal Palace was also a ruthless person. When he learned that there would be no reinforcements coming, he immediately set up a trap and detonated the spiritual veins and underground fire veins on the Lingshan Mountain, and most of the people who attacked the Immortal City The magic cultivators died together.

After that battle, millions of mortals and tens of thousands of monks fell in the Immortal City, and the entire Immortal City was destroyed by the shocking explosion caused by the spiritual veins.

The name "Demon Falling Valley" was named after thousands of demon cultivators died in that battle.

Moreover, because of the astonishing killings caused by the demon cultivators in that battle, and because they had already gained the upper hand in the crusade against the Great Bright Immortal Palace, the immortal cultivators in the "Backlight League" used this as an excuse to attack the internal Moxiu has been rectified and cleaned up.

Unintentionally or mentally, 80 to 90% of the demon cultivators in the "Backlight League" were instantly wiped out. The magic cultivators who escaped by chance were also met by both the "Backlight League" and the "Great Light Immortal Palace" in the following years. common pursuit.

In the past thousand years, it has been difficult to see traces of magic cultivating activities in the entire Far West.

And the original location of the fairy city, which is today's "Falling Demon Valley", because too many monks and mortals died in that battle, especially many demon monks fell there together with the monsters they refined, and gradually transformed into a natural place. The land of evil spirits, coupled with some formation restrictions that are still in operation inside, have made this place a well-known Jedi in the Rock Wasteland, and few immortal cultivators are willing to enter it.

The demon cultivator wanted to enter it to practice, but the demon cultivator who dared to do so had been slaying demons and demons by the "Backlight League" Jindan monks who came to sweep them from time to time for thousands of years.

Now even the most daring devil cultivators dare not venture into the "Valley of Falling Demons" to practice.

Zhou Yang and the others were also lucky. During the time they were teleported, they didn't meet any Jindan stage monks who came to sweep up the "Falling Demon Valley". Otherwise, they would have been discovered by others if they broke the ban inside. Killed.

"Now the Great Bright Immortal Palace and the Reverse Light Alliance rule nearly half of the Far West respectively, and the Rock Wasteland happens to be located within the territory of the Reverse Light Alliance. If our Zhou family wants to gain a foothold here and establish a family branch, the safest choice is naturally It is to join the Anti-Light Alliance and become one of them."

"However, the problem now is that the countless spiritual mountains in the backlight alliance have been occupied by various sects and families as well as casual cultivators. If our Zhou family wants to establish a clan here, we must invest a lot of spiritual stones in remote places. To build a spiritual mountain, or you can only build credit in the war between the Reverse Light League and the Great Bright Immortal Palace, and use the credit to exchange for a spiritual mountain as a foundation!"

Outside the "Valley of Falling Demons", Zhou Yang told the foundation-building monks of several families the news he learned during his interrogation, not only to let these people know the current situation, but also to see if these clansmen had any ideas.

"Elder Taishang, an alliance composed of several big sects united with many small and medium sects and families is certainly suitable for the survival of a cultivating family like our Zhou family, but on the other hand, a loose alliance like theirs is really difficult. If there is a war, I am afraid that a small force like us that has joined them will also easily become the outcast of those alliance leaders, and be sent by them to carry out the most dangerous missions!"

"So the juniors feel that we should not be in a hurry to join one side, we can first use the identity of casual cultivators to be active in the Far West, and it is not too late to decide to join one of them after we have fully figured out how the sects and families live here! "

To Zhou Yang's surprise, the monks who spoke first were not a few Zhou family monks, but Li Hong, a foreign relative monk.

He brought Li Hong back to the Far West this time because he valued his excellent fighting skills and wanted to train him to become a general of the Zhou family branch in the Far West.

But now it seems that this Li Hong is not only good at fighting, but also not weak in overall planning.

Looks like a real treasure!

Zhou Yang glanced at Li Hong in surprise and joy, and raised his attention to this person again.

A smile flashed on his face, he looked at the other party with the intention of taking a school exam and asked: "Xiao Li, you are right, then in your opinion, how can we have so many monks without revealing our background? How about entering the Far West through the Stone Wasteland and the Fallen Cloud Mountains?"
