Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Time flies, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

During these ten years, Zhou Yang spent the rest of the time in closed-door training in the extreme sun fire pool, except for taking a break occasionally to talk with his Taoist companion Xiao Ying and practice double cultivation.

And during the ten years of penance, his cultivation base has also been smoothly promoted to the third level of Nascent Soul.

After he was promoted to the third level of Nascent Soul, less than 30% of the fire attribute aura in the extreme sun fire pool was consumed, which was very different from what he expected in advance.

So, based on the idea that the opportunity is rare, he continued to practice here for another fifteen years, until the fire attribute aura in the extreme sun fire pool was less than 10%, and then it stopped.

At this time, after twenty-five years of absorption and refining, the extreme sun fire pool with a diameter of hundreds of feet has shrunk to less than twenty feet, and it is only one step away from complete collapse.

Zhou Yang calmed down at this time because he felt that it was not easy for this extreme yang fire pool to take shape. It would be a pity if it collapsed and dissipated because of his excessive demands.

And with his current cultivation base, even if he absorbs and refines the remaining less than 10% of the fire attribute aura, it will only add another 20 to 30 years to his cultivation base.

"The most important thing is that more than 30 years have passed, and the [Millennium Ceremony] in Liuyunzhou's world of cultivating immortals should be held soon. If you can't rush back before the Ceremony is held, the loss will not necessarily be worse than the two or three years. Ten years of cultivation is less!"

Beside the extreme sun fire pool, Zhou Yang stood up after reaping his achievements, looking at the southern sky with deep eyes, but he was already preparing to return to the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou.

After absorbing almost the entire fire-attribute aura contained in the extreme sun fire pool, his current cultivation base is not far from being promoted to the mid-stage Nascent Soul. It can be said that it is a sure thing to advance to the elixir and panacea to advance to the mid-stage Nascent Soul.

But how could he be satisfied with this!

【Millennium Ceremony】It is only held once every thousand years. At that time, tens of hundreds of Nascent Soul stage monks will gather together to exchange what they need, which naturally includes all kinds of spiritual objects that can improve their cultivation.

Zhou Yang now has all kinds of sixth-order magic weapons and spiritual objects that he can't use, but there are quite a few of them. He has long planned to exchange these things with others at this [Millennium Ceremony], in exchange for those who can Spiritual objects of diligent cultivation.

"After so many years, it's time to go back!"

This is bound to be a long journey.

From the depths of the extreme northern ice sheet thousands of miles away from the world of cultivating immortals in Beitingzhou, traverse the entire world of cultivating immortals in Beitingzhou and the boundless snowfield, and finally arrive at the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou.

Such a long journey, even if it is a straight-line distance, is more than 20 million miles!

And even for Zhou Yang, a Nascent Soul third-level monk, even if he himself, the demon servant Bi'er, and the avatar outside him took turns flying and traveling, traveling without sleep, it took a full two and a half years!

Naturally, this road cannot be completely peaceful. No matter whether it is the monsters on the extreme northern ice field and the boundless snow field, or those "Frozen people" with a strong sense of territory, they will not respond to those who cross their territory. Zhou Yang turned a blind eye.

During the two and a half years, Zhou Yang encountered more than a dozen attacks by strong men of the same level. At the most dangerous time, five "Frozen People" sixth-level strong men attacked him at the same time. The strength of the leader even reached the monk level of the late Nascent Soul.

However, those "Bingyi people" obviously seriously underestimated his strength, and they didn't even know how terrifying the real strength of the early stage human Nascent Soul cultivator they besieged and killed was.

During the last siege, Zhou Yang played all his cards. Not only did he release the avatar, the demon servant Bier, and the sixth-order puppets to join the battle, but he also threw the wounded ones in the [Dongxuan Orb] to recuperate. The witch Huan Qianqian was also released to join the battle.

In a five-on-five situation, facing Zhou Yang who was holding the [Suzaku Fan], those "Frozen People" who besieged and killed him soon tasted the bitter fruit.

At the end of the final battle, the leader of the "Frozen Man" whose cultivation level was comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul cultivator was seriously injured by Zhou Yang's [Suzaku Fan], and the remaining four "Frozen Man" also paid the price of one death and two injuries. At the price, he fled the battlefield in embarrassment.

Since that battle, Zhou Yang has never been intercepted by beings of the same level on his way, until he successfully arrived at Liuyunzhou's world of cultivating immortals.

"Finally back!"

Above a mountain peak full of vitality and green plants of various colors, Zhou Yang, who had returned from a long trip, looked at the green mountain below, and could not stop smiling on his slightly tired face.

After staying in a place like the extreme northern ice field for a long time, the scenery that can be seen everywhere in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou has become a rare beauty in his eyes.

It's not that Zhou Yang has never seen desolate places. Many places in the boundless sand sea are also extremely desolate, with only yellow sand that can't be seen at a glance.

But even in the sand sea, you can still see some tenacious desert plants, and there are still animals like sand scorpions and sand sparrows.

But in the depths of the extreme northern ice sheet, apart from ice and snow, not to mention ordinary plants, even some cold-resistant spiritual trees, it is difficult to grow in that place, let alone ordinary animals.

"Well, first hide your identity and find a nearby fairy city to contact Senior Qingyang, find out the situation, and then decide where to go."

With a flash of light in his eyes, Zhou Yang waved his sleeves and sacrificed the fifth-order magic weapon [Phantom Orb], which he hadn't used for a long time, and turned into a red-haired middle-aged man with a middle-stage golden core cultivation, and set off for the nearest fairy city.

A few days later, in an immortal city named "Red Jade Immortal City", Zhou Yang found a branch of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect's intelligence agency here, and contacted the real Qingyang through the communication circle arranged here.

After communicating with Master Qingyang through the communication circle for half a day, Zhou Yang left the "Red Jade Immortal City" with a gloomy expression.

The situation was really not good for him.

Now it is basically certain that Yulong Xingyu has come to Liuyunzhou to cultivate immortals, and he may be squatting somewhere to wait for Zhou Yang to appear.

The reason why he made this judgment was that in the past few decades, monks of unknown origin tried to get close to his son Zhou Guangcheng by pretending to be Zhou family monks and Xuanyang Xianzong disciples several times, intending to kidnap him and take him out of Xuanyang Xianzong. .

These people's cultivation has reached the golden core stage, and they have never appeared in the immortal cultivation world of Liuyunzhou before, obviously they came from other immortal cultivation worlds.

And it wasn't just Zhou Guangcheng who was there to attack, but the Zhou family had also lost many monks over the years, including Zhou Shengyu and other three Zifu period monks!

What worries Zhou Yang the most is that there is also a monk from the Zhou family who disappeared inexplicably on his spiritual mountain in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, and even the body cannot be found.

This shows that the Yulong family has thoroughly figured out the origin of the Zhou family, and not only set their sights on the Zhou family on the side of the immortal cultivation world in Liuyunzhou.

Although after he became a Nascent Soul, he was no longer afraid of being known about the origins of the Zhou family, but now that his enemies were looking for the Zhou family's lair, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel worried.

He knew in his heart that as he didn't show up for a long time, Yulong Xingyu's patience would get worse and worse. In the end, he would definitely let go of all scruples and attack the entire Zhou family, using the lives of thousands of Zhou family's monks as a bargaining chip to force him come out.

If he really gets to that point, even if he survives this catastrophe, the Zhou family will definitely be seriously injured, and even...

"It seems that this matter can't be dragged on any longer. After the [Millennium Fa Conference] is over, let's start to solve this matter, even if you pay a little more!"

Zhou Yang pursed his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Yulong Xingyu, who was cultivated at the ninth level of Nascent Soul, is very strong, but it is not impossible to defeat and kill.

As long as someone can block the seventh-level fairy weapon in his hand, and several late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who are similar in strength to attack him, it is not impossible to kill him.

Just besieging such a Nascent Soul Ninth-Layer "Half-Step True Immortal" who is in charge of a seventh-order immortal weapon, the people participating in the siege will also take a lot of risks. Zhou Yang wanted to find such a risk-taking master, and paid The price even hurt him for a long time.

But even so, he decided to do it.

He valued the lives of his relatives and clansmen more than those outside his body. For him, treasures can be found again when they are gone, and people's lives are gone, but they can't be saved even if they want to save them.

"It's too much to scare the snake away. The Zhou family will not inform them of my return. Now the [Millennium Fa Conference] will be held in more than a year. I'd better find a way to get another identity for myself that can participate in the Fa Conference. , wait until the Fa Conference is over before acting!"

Zhou Yang made up his mind, and immediately turned to Liuyun Immortal City, preparing to participate in the upcoming [Millennium Ceremony].

It didn't take long for him to hide his identity and rushed to Liuyun Immortal City, and then secretly contacted Xu Tianlin, a local snake, and told him about his intention to hide his identity to attend the ceremony.

The two sides have a friendship of fighting side by side in the world of cultivating immortals in Beitingzhou. Zhou Yang even indirectly saved his life in the Demon Realm. Xu Tianlin would naturally not refuse Zhou Yang's small request.

He quickly took advantage of the sponsor's authority to send Zhou Yang a new invitation card. On this invitation card, Zhou Yang had become Lu Tianyang, a third-level Nascent Soul cultivator from the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the far west.

Since the world of cultivating immortals in the far west has basically cut off communication with the outside world, Zhou Yang doesn't have to worry that this disguised identity will be seen through.

What's more, in order to help him hide his aura and identity at the ceremony, Xu Tianlin also borrowed a sixth-order middle-grade magic weapon [Mitian Banner] for him.

[Mitian Banner] is the magic weapon of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the [Liuyun Business Alliance]. With this magic weapon to help cover up, even if it is a monk at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal" realm, he will not use it. With some special pupil skills, it is also difficult to see Zhou Yang's true face clearly.

On occasions like the [Millennium Ceremony], even a cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul's "Half-step True Immortal" realm is unlikely to use such supernatural powers in person to identify the identities of other people one by one.

With Xu Tianlin helping to cover, Zhou Yang stayed temporarily in Liuyun Fairy City.

At this time, because the [Millennium Fa Conference] is approaching, many Nascent Soul cultivators who came from afar have rushed to live in Liuyun Immortal City first. Zhou Yang took the initiative to use Lu Tianyang's identity to visit some of his peers at Xu Tianlin's suggestion. Cultivator, let people know that there is a number one person like yourself to participate in this grand event.

One year passed quickly, and the once-in-a-thousand-year [Millennium Ceremony] was finally held amidst much anticipation.

Since it is a Fa conference, it is not enough for the Nascent Soul Stage monks to communicate behind closed doors, but to hold it in public.

In order to prepare for this ceremony, Liuyun Xiancheng even let go of a part of the mountainside area of ​​Liuyunxian Mountain, and put the location of the ceremony on an open area above the mountainside.

This open land is not too crowded even if it can accommodate tens of thousands of monks, and looking down from here, you can see many magnificent views of Liuyun Fairy Mountain and the fairy city below, and the scenery is infinitely beautiful.

Obviously, it is not without request for monks who can come here to listen to monks in the Nascent Soul stage to talk about the law and Taoism.

This requirement is not difficult to say, and simple is not easy to say.

There are three ways to enter the venue to listen to the sermon. The first is that the Jindan stage cultivator can enter the venue for free. The second is that the Nascent Soul stage monks attending the ceremony can bring 30 juniors with them. The third is to buy admission Tickets, each with a uniform price of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, are transferable.

Not to mention the first two methods, but only the third method, because a total of 3,000 admission tickets were issued, which directly earned more than 30 million low-grade spirit stones for the [Liuyun Merchant Alliance]!

Don't worry that no one will buy the admission ticket. Although there are a lot of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, the total number of monks in the Zifu period is not 10,000, but 8,000 in the huge Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World.

For the vast majority of monks in the Zifu period, taking out 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to listen to dozens or hundreds of monks in the Yuanying period is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern.

Even some well-to-do foundation-building monks will grit their teeth and take out such a sum of spirit stones to participate in this thousand-year grand event. Even if they don't gain anything in the ceremony, it will be a great bragging capital in the future. Always

Thanks to the early publicity of the [Liuyun Merchant Alliance], as long as it is not the kind of cultivator in the world of Liuyunzhou who is completely isolated from communication with the outside world, they all know that the [Millennium Ceremony] held once a thousand years will be held in Liuyun Immortal City this time.

Therefore, 3,000 admission tickets will eventually be in short supply, and there will be no possibility of empty tickets.

"Tiannan Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm Wang He has arrived!"

"Realist Bai Lan from the Overseas Immortal Cultivation Realm has arrived!"

"Really Lu Tianyang Lu from the world of cultivating immortals in the far west has arrived!"

...

Amidst the high-spirited singing of the welcoming monks, Zhou Yang, whose alias was Lu Tianyang, came with two early Yuanying stage monks, a man and a woman, and landed on the Dharma platform specially prepared for them at the Nascent Soul stage.

The two people who came with him were monks whom he had become acquainted with in the past year. The three came from all the worlds of cultivating immortals in the north and south of the world. They had never heard of each other's names before. Talk, and you will become familiar with it once you come and go.

Coming together today is also an early appointment.

"Hehehe, it's really an honor for the alliance that the three fellow daoists traveled thousands of miles to participate in this [Millennium Ceremony]. Xu, here on behalf of the alliance, would like to thank the three of you."

On the altar, Xu Tianlin, who represented the organizer, and the three of them landed, and with a smile on his face, he bowed his hands to the three of them and greeted them.

His eyes didn't stay on Zhou Yang for more than half a minute, it was completely businesslike.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are welcome. It is our honor and opportunity to participate in this [Millennium Fa Conference] and communicate with fellow practitioners about Dao practice. It should be our thanks to your alliance for giving me such an opportunity."

Among the three, Wang He, the oldest of the three, saluted Xu Tianlin on behalf of the three with a smile on his face, and his words were extremely beautiful.

After a few polite words from both parties, Xu Tianlin asked the three of them to sit aside first.

At this time, there were not many Nascent Soul stage monks coming to the Dharma platform, only less than thirty, most of them were local monks in the immortal cultivation world of Liuyunzhou.

However, there are six to seven thousand monks who come to listen to the sermon under the Dharma platform, among which there are hundreds of Jindan stage monks!
