Eternal Tranquility

Geng Yuan jumped up and shouted: "We captured the Pass of Everlasting Sorrow?"

"The Pass of Everlasting Sorrow?"

"Grandson, what are you shouting about?"

The other two monks in the cage who had joked with Gengyuan before heard the shouting and asked loudly with the same reaction.

Geng Yuan shouted outside: "Don't interrupt!" Then he looked at Liu Qinghuan with piercing eyes: "Are you telling the truth?"

The nervous and expectant looks of the two people in front of them made Liu Qinghuan feel solemn: "The news I heard is indeed like this. Because of this matter, Jiuyou began another forced conquest to eliminate the tens of thousands of demons and ghosts in the Immortal Mountain Territory. They all rushed in and asked several ghost emperors in the Netherworld to send ghost armies into the battlefield, so I followed those teams in. "

"Hahaha!" Geng Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, shouting with all his strength: "We have won the Pass of Everlasting Sorrow!"

At this time, there was movement in the nearby cages, and several voices that had not appeared before also joined the inquiry. Then one voice was passed from one cage to another, and it was transmitted deep into the empty prison at an extremely fast speed, making this empty and dark void suddenly... Added a lot of noise.

Liu Qinghuan was stunned and asked Ning He, who was sitting aside with a smile: "Is the Pass of Everlasting Sorrow so important?"

Ning He simply used a pointing pen to draw a map on the hard black ground and explained patiently.

Qing Ming and Jiu You have been fighting against each other for countless years in the Mingshan Battle Territory. Each side has occupied one side. One hundred thousand years is a war season, competing for large areas of territory and resources in the battle territory, and then based on how much territory they have won. To divide the belongings of the major worlds and the middle worlds and the ascension channels of the small worlds.

The location of the Pass of Everlasting Sorrow is extremely critical. On both sides of the Pass of Everlasting Sorrow, there are large plains that are easy to attack and difficult to defend. As long as the Pass of Everlasting Sorrow is captured, several cities can be conquered with overwhelming force.

Liu Qinghuan heard Yunshan shrouded in fog: "What is the war season?"

Ning He said: "This is what makes the Mingshan Battle Territory special. Every 100,000 years, the mountain topography in the battle territory will change drastically, and the two major divine realms will return to the original point together. It’s a season of fighting to start again.”

Liu Qinghuan opened her mouth in shock, and after a long while she stammered: "Why does it sound... like playing chess?"

"Yes, it's just that we monks are the ones who make the chess pieces." Ning He pointed his finger in the air: "In the beginning, both sides only owned a small area. They occupied the territory by arranging troops and fighting for each other."

Liu Qinghuan murmured: "The nine-day battle turned out to be like this... Then aren't we as pathetic as chess pieces?"

Geng Yuan turned around and sneered, then interjected: "What's so sad? As long as there is desire, there will be disputes! Even if there is no Mingshan Battlefield, there will be the Death Mountain Battlefield or something like that. And the world of cultivating immortals where you came from? It’s all peaceful? Even the mortal city is still fighting every day, just for profit.”

Liu Qinghuan thought about it and had to agree that the other party was right. Even the legendary immortals and gods are still fighting around, let alone humans. And by limiting the scope to the Mingshan battle area, at least the war will not spread outside.

"What's more, every time the Mingshan Battlefield changes the sky and the earth, new treasures and resources will be produced, and there will definitely be an immortal treasure among them, so everyone will compete even more energetically."

Liu Qinghuan exclaimed: "Immortal treasure!"

"Yes, above the innate spiritual treasures, there are also innate treasures, etc., and above that are the immortal treasures that even Mahayana monks have to compete for, which are also called Xuantian treasures."

Geng Yuan said with a look of fascination: "It is said that after the Xuantian Treasure, there is also the Chaos Treasure. Unfortunately, this is not something we monks in the human world can imagine."

"Then this war season's immortal treasure has its own owner?"

Geng Yuan blinked: "No, most of the war season has passed, but so far, no one has found any trace of the fairy treasure, and no one knows where it is."

"Ah, haven't you found even those in the Mahayana period?"

"Isn't that true? It is said that the great monks on both sides have almost turned the Mingshan Battle Territory upside down, and the immortal treasure has not been discovered yet. However, if you want to get the treasure, you also have to rely on personal opportunities, and there have been battles in the past war seasons. It’s not surprising that no one found the fairy treasure at the end of the season.”

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but asked: "Could it be that someone has secretly obtained it but didn't tell them?"

"No!" Geng Yuan said resolutely: "If someone gets the immortal treasure after it appears, a record will immediately appear on the heaven and earth records, and it will point out the direction. It is impossible to hide it!"

"This, this...won't this cause countless people to fight for it?"

"Yes, it will definitely be a sea of ​​blood and turmoil by then." Geng Yuan said with emotion, and shrugged: "Why do you want to think so much? Anyway, there is nothing to do without our Nascent Soul, so we can just be greedy."

Ning He also said: "Yes, even if I have the opportunity to pick up the fairy treasure, I don't have the strength to keep it, so it is better not to give up the opportunity."

Liu Qinghuan suddenly thought of something and asked: "If a war season ends, the Mingshan War Territory will be turned upside down. What will happen to the people there?"

"Hmm... maybe all of them are teleported?" Ning He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled: "I haven't experienced it either, but according to records, the ending will be slightly different each time. Now there are only a few days until the end of the war season. It’s only been a thousand years. If our cultivation can get closer, we may be able to see it in person. The two sides have been at a stalemate before, but now that the Pass of Everlasting Sorrow has fallen to our side, perhaps the opportunity for a breakthrough has come. "

"Then, what will happen if you win, and what will happen if you lose? What you said before, I can understand the interface ownership, refers to which side each large and medium world belongs to, and what does the ascension channel mean?"

Liu Qinghuan was surprised and confused: "The result of the Nine-Heaven Battle can actually determine which interface the monk will ascend to?"

Geng Yuan laughed out loud and looked at him like a country bumpkin: "It seems you really don't know anything."

Liu Qinghuan smiled slightly and said: "Yunmengze is just a small interface located in a corner. What's more, when I left Yunmengze, my cultivation was only golden elixir, and I was not old enough to touch these things."

Ning He glanced at Geng Yuan reproachfully, and said with an apologetic expression: "Don't blame me, fellow Taoist, Geng Yuan never speaks out of his head."

Liu Qinghuan waved his hand disapprovingly, and Ning He continued: "The result of the Nine Heavens War is directly settled by the way of heaven, which can naturally determine the ascension passage of the small world. The so-called three thousand worlds are just a false reference, and there are actually more than thousands of them. , so although the small world does not participate in the Nine Heavens War, its huge number of people is an extremely important source of monks for the two major gods. "

At this point, Liu Qinghuan finally had some understanding of the Nine Heavens War, and said, "Thank you two fellow Taoists for your patience in clarifying my doubts."

Ning He smiled gently and said: "You don't need to take it to heart, fellow Taoist Qingmu. As long as you stay in the battlefield for more time, you will know everything clearly. We are locked up here and our magic power is banned, so The only thing left to do is talk."

Indeed, there is nothing that can be done in this empty prison. If they were not all extremely tenacious monks who spent decades in seclusion, they might have been locked up and gone crazy.

After talking for a long time, everyone felt a little tired. Ning He went to the side and closed his eyes to meditate, while Geng Yuan lay down on the spot rather uninhibitedly and fell asleep.

Liu Qinghuan leaned her head against the cage, squinted her eyes and stared at the void outside the cage, lost in thought.

Ning He and others have been locked up here for more than ten years and have not escaped. There are so many monks with higher cultivation levels than him under the empty prison. It is obviously impossible to escape from now on.

Then, he can only stay here obediently, locked up for decades, waiting for the elusive opportunity for the two sides to exchange prisoners of war?

If it was just being locked up, it would be fine, but he had another layer of worry.

Ning He and Geng Yuan tried to ask him about Yun Mengze's affairs several times, but he kept them away with a few words. Seeing that he didn't want to say more, they finally had the sense to stop asking.

But he could send Ning He away like this, what if he faced those people from Jiuyou?

If he had known that Yunmengze was called the Ancient Immortal Land, he would never have rashly revealed that he was from Yunmengze when being examined. It would have been better to directly admit that he was from the Wanhu Realm than now.

No! If he had known that this was the case in the Mingshan Battle Territory, he would not have come in at all, at least not through the gate of Sin Qi Palace.

Liu Qinghuan was very regretful, but it was too late to say anything now.

In fact, looking back now, many things have already been traced. For example, there is an extremely obvious difference in spiritual energy between Yunmengze and Sao Feng Continent. It seems that Yunmengze, including the former Donghuang Continent, was originally a part of the Wanhu Realm, while Sao Feng Continent probably came into existence later. from.

This is Yunmengze after a sealing war, and if the two former holy places for cultivating immortals: Qushang Marsh and Qianye Mountain had not been destroyed, Yunmengze's spiritual energy would probably be even stronger.

If this didn't explain the problem, then he should have found some clues when he arrived in the Yin-Moon Blood Realm, because the interface level of the Yin-Moon Blood Realm was obviously several levels higher, but the spiritual energy was not as good as Yun Mengze.

Much later, when Liu Qinghuan visited some other small interfaces, he realized how high the ratio of the number of Yunmengze monks to the total population of the interface was. Even the number of transformed gods was twice that of interfaces of the same size and level. above.

If a god-forming monk wants to cultivate to the point of ascension, he will consume a huge amount of resources. Only one of them can afford it. For a small interface like Yunmengze, four or five are enough, but on the main continent of Yunmengze There are eleven or twelve!

In addition, he once wondered why Yunmengze had so many caves and paradises, but he couldn't figure it out at the time and threw them aside. Now think about it, if it weren't for the support of Cave Heaven Paradise, Yun Mengze would not have won the first boundary war, let alone persisted for so long in this boundary war.

If only he could think more...

Liu Qinghuan sighed secretly, it was useless to think about it. Based on his knowledge at the time, no one could have guessed that the real situation would be like this.

Now, with such a big piece of fat Yun Mengze lying there without any resistance, could it be because of his momentary negligence that the evil wolf was attracted to him?

It's okay to say that in Wanhujie, what if someone is also interested in Jiuyou?

Although judging from the information obtained so far, small worlds are classified within the scope of protection, Yunmengze's situation is very special. It is not defined as a small world in the unknown world tree, and it is not defined as a small world. Having not returned to the Wanhu Realm, it is now an unprotected and ownerless land.

Even though Yunmengze has no longer looked like the fairyland it once was after two sealing wars, so many cave heavens and paradises can completely attract people to stare at them.

Now, he could only hope that no one in the Sin Palace knew the history of Yun Mengze. After all, even Ning He only thought of it later. This possibility was still very high.

But he had to consider the worst case scenario. What if someone in the Sin Palace knew about it? Then what is waiting for him is most likely various interrogations, and maybe even a direct soul search.

If it is a soul search, even if he does not know the location of Yunmengze's interface, it is clear how he got here. The other party can reach the Yinyue Blood Realm through the ghost gate in the Nether World, and then reach Yunmengze.

But... a cold light flashed in Liu Qinghuan's eyes!
