Cultivation Begins From The Desert

However, after Xu Song accepted Zhou Yang's request to go to the source of the monster to check the situation, it didn't take long before he fled back with a face full of panic.

"What's the matter? What made Fellow Daoist Xu panic so much? What is the situation ahead?"

Zhou Yang's heart sank, and he quickly asked about the situation.

When Xu Song heard his words, he said anxiously and loudly: "It's hard to explain this matter in a few words, anyway, Fellow Daoist Zhou, run away quickly, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

Zhou Yang's complexion suddenly changed upon hearing this.

He is very clear about Xu Song's character, and he knows that this person is definitely not a person who is timid, nor is he the kind of person who likes to exaggerate his words.

So he hesitated for a moment, and prepared to do what the other party said.

However, before he took any action, he seemed to have discovered something, and sighed with a livid face: "I'm afraid it's too late!"

Almost when he finished speaking, the black sand sea not far away suddenly exploded, and a demonized "Sandworm" monster covered in jet-black magic patterns emerged from it. This "Sandworm" monster The aura exuded by the beast showed faint signs of surpassing the fifth level!

The most special thing is that on the top of the head of this "sandworm" monster, there is actually a half-foot-long black horn growing out.

For some reason, as soon as Zhou Yang saw the black unicorn, his heart started pounding, and his breathing became a little difficult.

But at this time, when he was observing the demonized "Sandworm", the "Sandworm" monster had already brazenly attacked him.

I saw that demonized "sandworm" monster opened its mouth wide, and a huge suction power enveloped Zhou Yang, trying to suck him into the mouth and devour him in one gulp.

This is the innate devouring power of the "sandworm" monster. Once it is swallowed by suction and enters the insect's mouth, it will be crushed and swallowed by the sawtooth in the insect's mouth immediately.

The reason why some Jindan stage monks died in the mouth of the insect was because they didn't find the "sandworm" monster hiding in the sand sea. They were suddenly attacked by the monster and were swallowed into the mouth of the insect before they had time to react.

However, Zhou Yang was thousands of feet away from the demonized "sandworm" at this time, and it was not the first time he fought with the demonized "sandworm", so he had already prepared in his heart.

Therefore, after the demonized "sandworm" activated the devouring power, he was only forced to move tens of feet before stabilizing his body. Then, with a wave of his hand, a ball of golden flame flew towards the demonized "sandworm" along the suction force. past.

The demonized "sandworm" was not stupid. Knowing the power of the golden flame, he stopped his magic power halfway, and sprayed a stream of black dust onto the golden flame, extinguishing the flame in one go.

At the same time, the black magic lines on the demonized "Sandworm" suddenly burst into black light, and turned into countless black magic eyes in an instant.

These black magic eyes opened all at once, and suddenly, thousands of magic lights shot towards Zhou Yang.

Before he could think about it, Zhou Yang instinctively injected mana into the "Qianyang Orb" at this moment, arousing the "Qianyang Sky Fire Shield" to protect himself.

Zhou Yang was protected by the golden flame shield, and streaks of black magic light fell on the shield, but they couldn't shake the shield at all.

The "True Fire of Qianyang" had already restrained the power of the magic power extremely since it reached the sun. As long as Zhou Yang's mana is not exhausted, this level of magic power is not enough to penetrate the shield and hurt him.

But the bad is here.

Zhou Yang was involved in the "Black Sand Storm" and consumed a lot of mana. After he came out, he was besieged by countless monsters, and his own mana was no longer 30% of what it was in its heyday.

This time, he was forced to compete with the demonized "Sandworm" for mana consumption. Even if the opponent's mana consumption was several times that of his, he couldn't beat him at all!

So after resisting for a while and seeing that the magic eyes on the demonized "sandworm" did not close at all, Zhou Yang knew that he had to use thunder to take down the opponent.

As for why he took down the demonized "Sandworm" instead of running away, of course it was because he couldn't outrun him.

Even if the demonized "Sand Worm" is not a sixth-order monster, it is definitely the top fifth-order monster. Zhou Yang's current state is playing chasing and fleeing games with the other party, which is really seeking his own death.

Therefore, if he wanted to survive, he could only kill or seriously injure the demonized "Sandworm", making it unable to chase and kill him.

Knowing this, Zhou Yang immediately waved his sleeves and sacrificed the "Taiyin Zanpakutao".

"Taiyin Zhanpakutao" is an ice-attribute magic weapon, which doesn't fit well with Zhou Yang. If it falls into his hands, it can only exert 80% of its power at most.

But what he valued was not the supernatural power attached to this magic weapon, but the powerful armor-piercing ability formed by its own material.

When dealing with those "sandworm" monsters before, he used this knife to cut through the thick layer of skin on the monsters.

At this time, he slashed out, and the silver light of the knife fell from the sky like a crescent moon, and landed on the body of the demonized "Sandworm".

The result surprised Zhou Yang.

The silver long knife that easily broke the defense against the "Sandworm" monster before, but this time it barely left a white mark on the demonized "Sandworm", and didn't even break through the outermost skin defense!

"How can it be!"

Zhou Yang opened his mouth wide and couldn't help exclaiming.

Somewhat unbelievingly, he sacrificed the silver long knife, and slashed at the demonized "sandworm" again, but the result was still the same, and he couldn't break through the defense at all.

And at this time, the demonized "Sandworm" seemed to be enraged by him, the black ray on the black unicorn above its head flashed, and suddenly released a black magic light like sword energy towards Zhou Yang.

Click!

Click click click!

The golden flame shield that was originally motionless under the bombardment of the magic eyes of the demonized "Sandworm", because of the small sword-like black magic light attack, instantly clicked like an egg hit by a stone. "The sound shattered directly.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of rays of magic eye light were not blocked by the shield, and blasted on Zhou Yang one after another, blasting him to the ground in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the huge body of the demonized "sandworm" suddenly disappeared in place with an agility that was completely inconsistent with the body, and then directly drilled out of the sand sea where Zhou Yang fell, and opened his mouth to swallow him past.

"Damn beast!"

Zhou Yang shouted loudly, raised his fist, and a blue-gold dragon shadow rushed into the big mouth of the demonized "Sandworm" with a roar.

Then his figure twisted in mid-air, and he flew backwards hundreds of feet out of thin air, and finally landed on the sandy ground below.

It's just that as soon as he stood firm, the demonized "sandworm" that had eaten his punch had already calmed down the fluctuations in his body, and rushed towards him again.

At this point in the battle, Zhou Yang already knew in his heart that if he only relied on his own strength, he would definitely be unable to deal with this demonized "sandworm" monster today.

"It seems that I can only use that thing!"

He sighed in his heart, his face was full of reluctance.

The thing he was thinking of was, of course, the "Xuanyang Zixiao Divine Thunder" jade talisman bestowed by "Xuanji Daoist" Lu Xuanji when he was in Kunxu Realm.

This object was made after Lu Xuanji reached the late Nascent Soul stage. It was so powerful that it could even injure a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul. It was almost impossible for people below the Nascent Soul stage to survive this blow.

Since Zhou Yang got it, he regarded it as a treasure, and he wanted to save it for the most dangerous time to use it, or even never use it.

But today, this demonized "sandworm" monster is really powerful. In his extremely poor state, if Zhou Yang didn't use this treasure, it would be impossible to defeat him, nor would he be able to escape from the opponent's pursuit. .

"That's all!"

With a long sigh in his mouth, Zhou Yang waved his hand, arousing the purple jade talisman.

Immediately, a majestic purple god thunder responded to the situation, and bombarded the demonized "Sandworm" in the blink of an eye.

After this blow fell, the demonized "Sandworm" with a body length of more than a thousand feet didn't even have time to let out a scream, and most of its huge body was directly destroyed by the power of the terrifying thunder, leaving less than one-tenth of it The remains of his body fell to the sand below.

After Zhou Yang activated the "Xuanyang Zixiao Shenlei" jade talisman, the mana in his body was ten to nine, and he couldn't even use the basic "soaring the clouds and riding the fog" magical powers, so he had to wave his sleeves to summon the golden-winged thunder eagle camel live by yourself.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what happened in front of us? How did this damn demonized [Sand Worm] monster get here?"

On the back of the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle, Zhou Yang looked at Xu Song, who was also extremely weak, with a pale face, and asked the reason in a rather annoyed tone.

He was very dissatisfied with Xu Song's attracting the demonized "sandworm". If he hadn't attracted the demonized "sandworm", how could he have wasted the incomparably precious "Xuanyang Zixiao Shenlei" jade talisman ?

If Xu Song didn't give him an explanation today, he would definitely make it easier for him.

Why couldn't Xu Song hear the anger in his words, and said quickly after hearing the words: "It's a passage to the Demon Realm! There is another huge space crack ahead, which should lead to the legendary Demon Realm!"

"The monsters Daoyou Zhou killed before were the monsters and ordinary beasts in the sand sea that were corroded by the magic energy. This demonized [Sandworm] monster also absorbed the pure magic energy overflowing from the cracks in the space to mutate into a monster. Warcraft!"

"And fellow Daoist Zhou, the reason why you consume more mana while flying and fighting in this [Death Sand Sea] is also due to the appearance of space cracks, which attract the spiritual energy of the surrounding area to pour into it, and the resulting spiritual absorption effect!"

What?

Demon Realm Passage!

Zhou Yang looked at Xu Song in shock, almost suspecting that he heard it wrong!

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"The passages of the demon world in this world have long been closed and sealed by the powerful monks in ancient times. How could there be a place here?"

"And if it's really a passage in the demon world, there must be six levels of monsters guarding it. How can you come back alive if you go to spy on it?"

Zhou Yang came back to his senses, looked at Xu Song with a look of surprise and uncertainty, his eyes were full of shock and anger.

He undoubtedly knows better than Xu Song about the "Devil Realm Passage".

Because when he was in Xuanyang Xianzong, he once entered a secret realm "Sealing Demon Cave" with a sealed "Devil Realm Passage".

So he knew very well that even if there was a "demonic channel" that could not be closed in the "spirit world", it must have been sealed by the true immortals of the tribulation period in ancient times, and there were special powerful forces guarding and suppressing it.

If there is such a "demon channel" in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, how could there be no strong guards?

However, facing his question, Xu Song shook his head again and again and said loudly:

"No, Xu dares to talk nonsense about such a big matter!"

"Although Xu doesn't know where the space crack came from, Xu dares to guarantee with his life that the other side of the space crack is definitely the legendary demon world!"

"Only the legendary demon world can radiate such pure demon energy!"

"If Fellow Daoist Zhou doesn't believe it, you can go and have a look in person."

Go and see for yourself?

Zhou Yang's complexion changed, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He didn't want to believe Xu Song's words, but he couldn't accept this explosive news for a while.

But if Xu Song's words are true, what if he encounters six levels of monsters in the past?

Without the "Xuanyang Zixiao Shenlei" jade talisman, he would have no resistance at all when encountering an existence of that level.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhou, there shouldn't be any level 6 monsters there, otherwise you just cast [Qianyang True Fire] to slaughter monsters here and killed a demonized [Sandworm], it must have come to deal with you a long time ago! "

Xu Song saw the worry in Zhou Yang's heart, and whispered to help him strengthen his confidence.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Yang was not allowed to take a look at the "space crack" with his own eyes. Today's matter is a knot that is difficult to solve.

"There is no rush!"

"It's just as you said, there are no sixth-level monsters. With our current state, we only need one more [Sandworm] to clean us up."

"Let's withdraw first, and after we recover, it's not too late to go over there to find out!"

After Zhou Yang pondered for a while, he decided that it would be better to be on the safe side. Dang even put away the remains left behind after the death of the demonized "Sandworm", and left the place on a golden-winged Thunder Eagle.

Seven days later, Zhou Yang, who was in good condition, returned to the place where he killed the demonized "sandworm" that day, and flew towards the location of the "space crack" under the leadership of Xu Song.

After flying thousands of miles all the way, he saw the "space crack" that Xu Song was talking about hundreds of miles away.

The moment he saw the "space crack", Zhou Yang understood why Xu Song was so sure that this "space crack" would lead to the legendary "devil world"!

I saw a pitch-black crack nearly thirty feet long and five feet wide appearing out of nowhere in midair hundreds of miles away.

Every once in a while, there would be a black ink-like pure magic energy overflowing from the crack, which would be absorbed by countless monsters gathered around the crack.

Looking around Zhou Yang, with that "space crack" as the center, there are at least tens of thousands of monsters gathered, all of which are all kinds of monsters and wild beasts in the sand sea.

He even saw three demonized "sandworms" with thousands of feet in length, but the aura emitted by those demonized "sandworms" was not as powerful as the one he killed seven days ago, but it was roughly equivalent to the fifth-order It's just a top-rank monster.

Even so, it was shocking enough.

Fortunately, those monsters were all focused on absorbing the magic energy from the cracks in the refining space, and Zhou Yang asked Xu Song to cover his own breath with Yin Qi after hundreds of miles away, so they didn't disturb the monsters.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou has also seen it. If the crack in space didn't lead to the legendary demon world, how could there be pure demonic energy constantly overflowing?"

Xu Song pointed at the crack in space and said, to show his innocence.

Zhou Yang listened to his words, but did not speak.

In fact, he believed Xu Song's words when he saw the magic energy radiating from the space crack.

Even in the "Magic Sealing Cave" back then, he didn't see that kind of pure magic energy.

This is not surprising, the "Demon Realm Passage" in the "Magic Sealing Cave" was sealed by a formation after all, and the devilish energy in it was mostly produced by the small world itself.

He picked up the "Lihuo Golden Eyes" and looked, with the crack in the space as the center, there was almost no aura of heaven and earth in the area hundreds of miles around, but it was filled with a faint black magic energy.

This means that that area has become a "land of absolute spirits", transformed by the magic energy into a magic soil that nourishes monsters.

And as time goes by, as more and more demonic energy overflows from that space crack, the area of ​​this demonic soil will also become larger and larger.

If no one has been sealing that space crack and purifying the demonic energy in the demonic soil, I am afraid that in thousands of years, the entire boundless sand sea will turn into a demonic soil!

At this time, Zhou Yang felt fortunate instead, thankful that this space crack opened in the "death sand sea" where human presence is rare.

Otherwise, if this appeared in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, the number of monsters gathered under that space crack at this time would not be as few as tens of thousands.

"Let's go, let's hurry back to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea. The news of this spatial rift must be notified to those Nascent Soul cultivators as soon as possible. Only they can close and seal this spatial rift!"

Zhou Yang took a deep look at the dark crack in the space, and beckoned Xu Song to turn around and leave the place.

Strictly speaking, things like space cracks can only be handled by true immortals in the Transcendence Tribulation Period.

Because under normal circumstances, only true immortals in the Transcending Tribulation Stage can break the space of the "spirit world" and create such things as space cracks.

At the same time, under normal circumstances, the torn spatial cracks will be repaired by the "Spirit World"'s own laws of heaven and earth, and will not exist forever.

But like the crack in space overflowing with demonic energy, because it is connected to another higher world, it can no longer be repaired by relying solely on the power of the "spirit world"'s own laws of heaven and earth. It needs someone who can mobilize the laws of heaven and earth. Only with the help of the strong can it be repaired and smoothed.

Yuanying stage monks understand the laws of heaven and earth, even if they cannot break the laws of heaven and earth and tear the space, but only mobilize the power of the laws of heaven and earth to help repair a crack in space, there is still hope.

However, there are not many monks in the Nascent Soul stage who can do this, at least it is possible for the strong "half-step true immortal" of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul to do it.

And Zhou Yang just knew an existence of this level!

He also believed that Lu Xuanji, who was the Grand Elder of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, the "Master Xuanji" would never sit back and watch the tentacles of the "Demon Realm" reach into the "Spiritual Realm" and ignore it.

After more than a month passed like this, Zhou Yang finally crossed the entire "death sand sea" and returned to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortals after he lost his way countless times.

Back in the Boundless Sand Sea and the Immortal Cultivation Realm, things will be easy. Zhou Yang only needs to head east all the way, and he can locate himself through the oases he found along the way.

If it doesn't work, he can still fly all the way to the west foot of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, and then use this landmark to go south and north to determine the direction.

With his cultivation at the golden core stage, without the dangerous threats of "sandworm" monsters and "black sand storms", it would take less than half a year to fly all over the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortals.

In fact, after one and a half months, Zhou Yang returned to the Xijiaozhou Oasis!

At this time, almost sixty-six years have passed since Zhou Yang led the Zhou family monks to the world of cultivating immortals in the far west, and he himself will be three hundred years old in a few months.

Sixty-six years have passed, and the Zhou family has almost completed the development of the entire Rhinoceros Island.

As soon as Zhou Yang entered Xijiaozhou, he found many traces of mortal activities on the oasis. The activity area of ​​these mortals even reached the edge of Xijiaozhou. It can be seen that the development of this oasis by the Zhou family must have reached an extremely high level. .

As usual, Zhou Yang would definitely not be in a hurry to return to the family to meet with relatives at this time, but to check the situation of the family first.

The experience in his previous life told him that the superior can only see the real side of the world outside without notifying anyone at all.

But now, with so many things on his mind, he has no time to pay attention to them.

Even if he really wanted to rectify the family, he would have to wait until he returned from helping Lu Xuanji in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyunzhou before thinking about it.

Therefore, he quickly appeared in the sky above Lingxi Peak, and with the golden auspicious clouds under his feet, he strongly announced his return.

"Riding the Clouds and Riding the Fog" is the signature supernatural power of the Golden Core stage monks, and for low-level monks, it is the best reference to identify the Golden Core stage monks.

"Look, look what that is!"

"Golden auspicious clouds, could it be that the ancestors of the Jindan period can master the supernatural power of flying clouds and riding fog?"

"The senior above Xiangyun looks so familiar, where does he seem to have met? Do you feel this way?"

…………

On Lingxi Peak, some low-level Zhou family monks working abroad saw a golden auspicious cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, their attention was attracted by it, they put down their affairs, and talked about it.

Most of these low-level monks are young people with low cultivation. Zhou Yang, the elder of the Zhou family, has been away from home for more than 60 years. They have only seen his portrait in the ancestral hall, and have never seen him. Real person, it's not surprising that he couldn't recognize his identity for a while.

However, those Zhou family cultivators in the Purple Mansion and the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivating in the cave mansion on the mountain recognized him at a glance after they sensed the aura of the Golden Core Stage cultivators deliberately released by Zhou Yang and came out to check the situation.

"You are so presumptuous!"

"This is Zhou Yuanyang, the grand elder of my Zhou family. Now that he has cultivated a golden elixir, he has returned. Hurry up and kneel down to welcome him!"

Zhou Guangxiang and Xiao Ying are the Zhou family's Zifu monks who sit on Lingxi Peak, and Zhou Guangxiang sits on the Chihu Mountain oasis.

Seeing Zhou Yang's return at this time, Xiao Ying's excited face turned into a blue light and threw herself into Zhou Yang's embrace.

On the other hand, Zhou Guangxiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, while sternly yelling at those clansmen who were talking about their elders in private, and announced Zhou Yang's identity loudly with joy on his face.

boom!

Suddenly, the mountain was boiling.

The average order is almost 2,000, and I want to get up to 2,000 soon, so I reduced the number of chapters and combined the two chapters into one chapter. Don’t worry, the number of words is the amount of two chapters, and there will be no shortage!
