Cultivation Begins From The Desert

On the lonely peak, on the edge of the cliff, Zhou Yang stood with his hands behind his back.

He looked into the distance with his eyes, and it seemed that he could still see the alluring face of that stunning beauty across many mountains and rivers.

At this time, three years have passed since the opening of the Kunxu Realm, and he has returned to the "Spirit World", and the place he is currently in is an unnamed mountain in the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the far west.

And he looked into the distance, still reminiscing about the last few months in Kunxu Realm in his mind.

After leaving the "Holy Infant Valley", he and Jiang Fengxian spent the remaining time in a temporary cave.

It was a good time, a good time worthy of Zhou Yang's recollection for the rest of his life.

Looking back on the good times of the past few months, Zhou Yang raised his palm to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, as if he could still smell the lingering fragrance of the beauty on his palm.

It's a pity that the beauty has gone away, and this lingering fragrance will dissipate in a short time.

I don't know when we will meet next time.

"If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night!"

"Fengxian, wait for me, I will definitely meet you again as soon as possible!"

"Next time we meet, I will definitely not let you run away so easily!"

On the edge of the solitary cliff, Zhou Yang raised his hand and held it falsely, as if he wanted to hold the beautiful woman far away in the sky.

He had already prepared for Jiang Fengxian's departure. Although he felt a little hurt at this time, it was not surprising.

When the Kunxu Realm is opened, monks from various places in the "Spirit World" can be sent into it, and when they leave, they can also be sent back to various places in the "Spirit World" according to the wishes of the monks.

Zhou Yang originally wanted to go back to the world of cultivating immortals in Yunzhou with Jiang Fengxian, so that he could drop by the Xuanyang Immortal Sect to attend the appointment.

However, Jiang Fengxian did not choose to return to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, but stepped into the teleportation array to reach the world of cultivating immortals in Tiannanzhou, saying that he wanted to take this opportunity to visit the world of cultivating immortals in Tiannanzhou, and then transferred to Donghua from the world of cultivating immortals in Tiannanzhou Continent Cultivation Realm, and finally return to Liuyun Continent Cultivation Realm.

Traveling through the two worlds of cultivating immortals in this way will inevitably take tens of hundreds of hours, or even longer.

Zhou Yang still has a lot of things to do, of course he doesn't have time to follow Jiang Fengxian, even though he really wants to wander the world with Mei Xiaoyao in his heart.

Without Jiang Fengxian by his side, Zhou Yang didn't have the heart to go back to Liuyunzhou's world of cultivating immortals directly.

Lu Xuanji's original agreement with him was to arrive at Xuanyang Immortal Sect within ten years after leaving the Kunxu Realm.

In view of the unpredictable life and death of this trip, he felt that before he went to the appointment, it was necessary to return to the family in the Boundless Sand Sea and the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and store the harvest he had gained this time in the Kunxu Realm into the family secret treasury. Ying and the others explained.

It is a pity that the teleportation circles in the Kunxu Realm only lead to certain areas of the large immortal realms such as the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Extreme West Land Cultivation Realm, and Tiannanzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, and do not include the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm. This is actually a small world of cultivating immortals attached to the world of cultivating immortals in the far west.

So Zhou Yang could only choose the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the far west as his return place. After all, returning to the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the Boundless Sand Sea from here was at least easier than crossing the Duanyun Mountains from the Cultivation Realm in Liuyunzhou.

What's more, he was still a little worried about the members of the Zhou family in Cangyuan Immortal City, and the ghost servant Xu Song who was still in the Far West.

More than a month later, Zhou Yang, who concealed his aura identity, came back outside Cangyuan Immortal City.

Out of some fear, he didn't enter the fairy city, but went directly to the Lingshan of the Zhou family outside the city.

What reassures him is that after more than ten years, the Zhou family here has not changed except that there are more monks than before.

This shows that Guo Jinhong didn't know the real relationship between him and the Zhou family, and he didn't take action to erase the Zhou family because he colluded with the corpse king of Tiansha and severely injured him.

Of course, it is also possible that Guo Jinhong discovered his relationship with the Zhou family, but deliberately kept the Zhou family to catch him.

So he didn't contact the Zhou family directly, but found a casual practitioner during the Qi training period, put several fourth-order demon pills, some elixir, and magic weapons into a storage bag, and asked them to transfer them to the Zhou family's In the hands of the owner.

With the means of his Jindan stage monk, there is naturally a way to make the casual cultivator submit obediently, and dare not hack what he gave to the Zhou family.

As long as Zhou Tongyue or Li Hong got the storage bag, they would naturally know that he was out of trouble, and then use the things he gave to develop and grow the Zhou family here.

It's just that they don't know whether the two of them will have the chance to meet him again in this life.

But Zhou Yang believes that if he meets these two people again in this life, he must have the confidence not to be afraid of Guo Jinhong's revenge.

So after seeing the recent situation of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang left the Cangyuan Immortal City without any hesitation, and went to the "Demon Falling Valley" in the Rocky Wasteland.

The "Ghost Contract" signed with the ghost servant Xu Song made him feel that Xu Song was still cultivating in the "Valley of Fallen Demons" and never left.

Of course, this kind of induction is two-way. When he sensed that Xu Song was still in the "Fallen Valley", Xu Song also learned the news of his return through this induction.

Therefore, when he came outside the "Valley of Falling Demons", Xu Song had already stepped out and waited for him.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhou for forming a golden elixir, the road can be expected!"

As soon as they met, Xu Song congratulated Zhou Yang with surprise on his face. The smile on his face was not fake at all, it was very sincere.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Senior Xu's cultivation base has improved again, which is also gratifying!"

Zhou Yang looked at Xu Song who was smiling, and smiled lightly, not caring whether his words were sincere.

He doesn't trust Xu Song very much, which can be seen from the fact that he didn't let Xu Song accompany Xiao Ying and others back to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea.

Xu Song himself is very clear about this.

The two of them signed a "ghost contract" to form a master and servant, but it was just a matter of taking what they needed under the pressure of the situation.

Zhou Yang was on guard against Xu Song, how had Xu Song ever been honest with him?

But that was all in the past. Now that Zhou Yang has formed a golden core, Xu Song, a mere ghost cultivator on the second floor of the golden core, is no longer in his eyes. Can't afford any waves.

Xu Song knew this very well in his heart, so when he saw Zhou Yang again this time, his attitude was much more respectful and honest.

Hearing Zhou Yang's words at this time, he quickly waved his hands and said, "You are a senior, fellow daoist, but I'm so embarrassed. Since fellow daoist has formed a golden core, how can I dare to call myself a senior in front of fellow daoist?" ? It is already a great honor to be called a fellow daoist!"

"Okay then, from now on, Zhou will call Xu Dao friendly as fellow daoist."

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, accepting his suggestion readily.

I used to call Xu Song "senior" because his cultivation level was lower than the other party's, and he asked the other party for many things.

Now that his cultivation base is at the same level as the opponent's, and he is also the leader of the contract, of course there is no need to call the opponent's senior anymore.

Xu Song took the initiative to bring this up, which shows that he is very self-aware in his heart, in other words, he is very knowledgeable.

Zhou Yang likes this kind of sensible person, talking to this kind of person will not be very tiring.

So next, one person and one ghost agreed tacitly not to mention where Zhou Yang had been all these years, but only discussed the matter of returning to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea.

Zhou Yang didn't want to talk about Kunxu Realm with Xu Song, because it involved a lot of his secrets.

Although Xu Song guessed that he escaped through the "Kunxu Order" and was curious about what he had gained in the Kunxu Realm, he dared not take the initiative to mention this, lest he would be upset.

Let's go back to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea.

Zhou Yang did not have the map to return to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea from the Far West.

But before he had a falling out with Guo Jinhong, he had already inquired about the "Death Sand Sea".

So now he only needs to go east along the rock wasteland all the way into the boundless sand sea, and then cross the "death sand sea", and he will naturally reach the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortals.

"Death Sand Sea" is very famous in the boundless sand sea cultivating the world, it is known as the tomb of the monks of the Jindan Stage, and the "Black Sand Storm" and "Sandworm" monsters raging inside are all things that can bury the monks of the Jindan Stage .

However, Zhou Yang dared to choose to return to the world of cultivating immortals from the extreme west land to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, so he naturally had his own support.

Let's talk about the "Sand Worm" monster first. Although this monster is ferocious, the "Taiyin Zhanpakutao" and "Qianyang True Fire" magical powers in Zhou Yang's hands are sharp weapons to deal with this huge monster.

If it really doesn't work, he still has the "Xuanyang Zixiao Divine Thunder" jade talisman that Lu Xuanji gave as a gift.

Although the natural disaster of "Black Sand Storm" is terrifying, with Zhou Yang's powerful physical body, the chance of surviving from it is still very high.

Of course, all of this is just speculation in his own mind, and the truth will only be known after he personally verifies and experiences it.

Ten years does not seem to be a short period of time, but for the golden core stage monks, it is just a short period of retreat.

Therefore, Zhou Yang didn't spend much time in the Far West. After joining Xu Song, he plunged directly into the boundless sand sea.

In order to preserve mana, Golden Winged Thunder Eagle and Xu Song took him in rotation all the way. The speed of both of them is not slow, and they can fly 70,000 to 80,000 miles in a day.

Therefore, in less than a month, Zhou Yang saw the famous "Death Sand Sea".

Different from the yellow sand everywhere in the boundless sand sea, the sand in the "dead sand sea" is a kind of black sand. This kind of black sand has a high iron content, and the temperature in the sun is much higher than that of ordinary yellow sand.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, after Zhou Yang entered the "Death Sand Sea", he felt that he consumed more mana when he was flying than when he was outside.

"No, it's not an illusion, it's true!"

His face changed slightly, and he quickly confirmed that his feeling was not an illusion.

And this information, he did not know before.

Then he recalled the records he had read about the "Death Sand Sea", but found no such records.

Then the situation is obvious, either this kind of change did not occur in the previous "Death Sand Sea", or those monks who left records deliberately concealed this situation.

And Zhou Yang, he is more inclined to the former!

"I hate this uncontrolled change!"

He cursed in a low voice, but he knew that he had no way out, and could only go to the dark all the way.

…………

"Who is it? Who dares to erase the imprint of the soul that I left in the [Nether Dark Coffin]?"

"Damn you little thief, don't let me catch you, otherwise you will definitely not be able to survive or die!"

boom!

In a certain underground tomb, a black sarcophagus was suddenly torn apart and exploded into countless pieces, exposing the ferocious body of the corpse king of Tiansha inside.

Ever since Zhou Yang took away his treasure of enlightenment, the Nether Mysterious Coffin, it has been waiting for the day when the Kunxu Realm will be closed.

As long as the Kunxu Realm is closed and Zhou Yang returns to the "Spirit World" with the "Ghost Coffin", it will be able to sense the location of the treasure through the imprint it left in the treasure, and then kill to get the treasure back.

However, what it never expected was that after more than three years, it did not wait for the reappearance of the "Nether Mysterious Coffin", but waited for the result of being forcibly erased from the imprint of its soul in the treasure!

The brand of soul is different from the brand of consciousness. When the brand of soul is planted, the practitioner needs to allocate a part of his soul to keep in the treasure.

This kind of soul branding makes the connection between practice and treasures much stronger than the spiritual branding. Even if there is a long distance, it can establish a strong connection with the treasure.

And even if the treasure is obtained by others, it is not easy to be refined by others.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages to this move. Once the imprint of the soul is forcibly erased, the practitioner will lose this part of the soul forever, and the loss is not insignificant.

Even a demon cultivator as strong as the Tiansha corpse king in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, when the imprint of the spirit and soul left in the "Nether Mysterious Coffin" was forcibly erased by the man in black, he suffered a lot of serious injuries, and couldn't help being furious The gaffe roared.

Of course it has reason to be angry. The "Nether Mysterious Coffin" is related to its chance of attaining enlightenment. Without the assistance of this treasure, its chances of advancing to the Tribulation Stage are infinitely close to zero!

If the road is cut off by someone, any person would be furious, let alone a monster like Tiansha Corpse King.

"If you dare to block my way, even if I search the entire [Spirit World], I will definitely find you, a little thief!"

The corpse king roared and swore, the ground where the mausoleum was located suddenly cracked, and countless black evil spirits gushed out.

This change immediately attracted the attention of the monks within hundreds of miles nearby. Some of the brave monks rushed over to check the situation, but they all became victims of the corpse king's anger, and the corpses were devoured alive .

Zhou Yang, who was far away in the boundless sea of ​​sand, naturally didn't know that the man in black had done him a big favor.

He is also in trouble now.

Ever since he entered the "sea of ​​death sand" and found that the situation had changed, he had been very energetic along the way and did not dare to relax for a moment.

However, the "Death Sand Sea" can leave a great reputation, so naturally it is not possible to pass through without incident just by being vigilant.

On the first day Zhou Yang entered the Black Desert, he encountered a famous "Black Sand Storm".

At that time, the "black sand storm" was not particularly large in terms of scale, at most it was a medium-sized storm.

However, its sudden formation without warning did not give Zhou Yang a chance to avoid it, and directly involved him in it.

Being in the "black sand storm", Zhou Yang finally understood why those senior monks were in awe when they talked about this kind of natural disaster.

After he practiced the "Taixu Refining God Art", his spiritual consciousness was as strong as that of a Jindan ninth-level monk, but he couldn't even separate his spiritual consciousness in the storm, and at the same time he used the "Lihuo Golden Eyes" "Supernatural powers, the line of sight can't extend beyond three feet.

That kind of loneliness, as if he was abandoned by the whole world, can easily make people despair and give up resistance.

Zhou Yang is not desperate, but he is definitely not feeling well.

Relying on his strong physical body, he was much more relaxed in the storm than ordinary Jindan stage monks.

But although the power of the storm couldn't strangle him, it also put him under tremendous pressure. His body seemed to be torn apart, and he had to use mana to defend himself every once in a while to give his body time to rest.

And when he survived the "black sand storm" and saw the sun again, it was already two days later, and his location deviated from the original location by an unknown distance.

After more than a month, he experienced four more "black sand storms". Among them, he detected the signs in advance of two storms and avoided the center of the storm in time, but the other two storms did not appear like the first storm any sign.

At the same time, for the first time in more than a month, he also saw the famous fifth-order monster in the boundless sand sea, the "Sandworm".

This kind of monster is more than a thousand feet long, proficient in various earth-type supernatural powers, and what's more, it is naturally good at hiding its breath. When it is deep in the sandy sea, it is extremely difficult for monks to find it.

But choosing Zhou Yang as food, "Sandworm" obviously kicked the iron plate.

Its hard skin with strong defensive power can be broken in front of the unparalleled "Taiyin Zanpakuto", and the extremely cold and freezing power attached to the blade directly abolished most of the powerful self-healing ability of "Sandworm" .

And then the burning golden flame that fell on its knife wound made the "sandworm" experience the taste of ice and fire.

It's just that although Zhou Yang had the absolute upper hand in the battle, the sand sea was still the territory of the "sandworm". In the end, he failed to leave the severely injured "sandworm" and let it escape deep underground.

Neither "Black Sand Storm" nor "Sandworm" could stop Zhou Yang, and it can be said that "Death Sand Sea" had already been stepped on by him. It stands to reason that his trip should be safe.

He thought so too, until he met...

"Damn it, where did these monsters come from? How come there are so many monsters in the boundless sand sea!"

In the black sand sea, golden flames rose all over Zhou Yang's body, constantly swaying balls of flames to burn all kinds of monsters that pounced on him to ashes. He looked at the direction of the monsters with an extremely ugly face and cursed.

About three days ago, a large "black sand storm" broke out suddenly and involved him.

When he finally survived this fatal storm and saw the sun again, he found that the place he was in was filled with the breath of monsters.

And after his imperial envoy "Qianyang True Fire" killed several monster-shaped monsters with strange shapes, suddenly a large number of monsters gathered towards him from all directions and attacked him frantically.

"If you want to solve the mystery, I'm afraid you have to look in the direction where these monsters came from. Xu has a hunch that the appearance of so many alien monsters is definitely not related to some experiments conducted by the demon cultivators here. We might be in trouble!"

In mid-air, hundreds of meters away from Zhou Yang, Xu Song stared at the direction where the monsters were coming from, and said his suggestion in a deep voice.

He is a ghost cultivator, and he didn't take action against those monsters, so the monsters didn't take action against him.

Of course, this is also related to the low level of monsters attacking Zhou Yang and their lack of IQ. If there are fifth-level monsters, Xu Song will definitely not be allowed to watch the battle there so easily.

After Zhou Yang listened to Xu Song's words, he pondered for a while, then looked at him solemnly and said: "Zhou seems to be being targeted by these monsters now, if he moves forward rashly, it may easily cause some bad changes. Fellow Daoist Xu will do the work for you!"

My shoulders were so sore that I was dying, which seriously affected my coding efficiency. I barely managed to write more than 5,000 words today, but I couldn’t hold it anymore. Two chapters were less than 6,000 words, so I could only combine one chapter!
