I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 343 The cursed place abandoned by the gods

Before entering the village, Xiyue had already recovered to a certain extent. It was no problem to walk on her own without using her spiritual power to run or fly.

But it slightly conceals the fact that she is already very weak.

The reason why Xi Yue is her younger sister is to deceive others.

It’s hard to say whether there are demon cultivators here.

It’s hard to say whether Chi Liang entered here or not.

To do this, it’s not just about disguising your identity. Before deciding to enter the village, Chen Ping also took a set of women's robes that he had obtained from corpses during his travels, and put them on his master Xiyue, and his appearance also changed slightly.

From the aloof fairy to the image of the little junior sister next door.

It would be better to err on the side of caution until she fully regains her strength.

On the way into the village, Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask the middle-aged monk about the situation here.

This middle-aged monk, whose surname is Jin, is not the person in charge of this village, but the person who has been active in the outskirts all year round and is responsible for rescuing monks who are alone in the outskirts or who have newly entered this wasteland.

This wasteland is called Canglan Grassland.

It’s just that this time coincides with the decline of autumn, and there are signs of yellow withered grass everywhere.

Canglan Grassland is huge and boundless.

Demonic Beasts are everywhere on the grassland, and there are many high-level Demonic Beasts. Rank Three Demonic Beasts are very common.

The most common one is the Demonic Beast.

Precisely because there are too many Demonic Beasts, people don't go out into the wasteland very often.

Rank Three Demonic Beast is still very troublesome to deal with.

The village became a refuge for survivors who fell into Canglan Grassland.

Like Chen Ping, all the survivors here entered from different places. Some took the initiative to seek opportunities, some entered accidentally, and some entered passively like Chen Ping.

The process is different, but the result is the same.

They are all temporarily trapped here.

"Why didn't those Demonic Beasts attack the village? Is there a special formation?" Chen Ping asked.

While talking, the three of them had entered the village.

The village is located in a slightly undulating hilly land. When walking on the road, you can see that many spiritual fields on both sides of the road are in harvest state, and many spiritual planters are busy in the spiritual fields.

But Chen Ping, as an Apex Level Rank Two formation master, could not sense the existence of the formation.

Monk Jin smiled bitterly and said:

"Most of the monks who fell here are Foundation Building or Gold Core monks. How can these monks have any means to arrange a formation that can withstand so many Rank Three Demonic Beast attacks at the same time without breaking?"

"See that place in the middle of the village?"

Monk Jin pointed in the direction of the center of the village.

Very far from here.

But a tall stone tower can be seen, and a spherical object like jade on the stone tower is emitting a faint luster.

"Those Demonic Beasts are afraid of that luster and dare not approach within a six or seven mile radius of the stone tower."

"It is precisely because of this that we are able to gather here and survive."

There is such a magical thing.

Make Demonic Beast afraid?

If I could take one and put it in my pocket, wouldn't it mean that I wouldn't have to worry about Demonic Beast attacks when venturing into the forest in the future?

Just as Chen Ping was thinking this, he heard Monk Jin say:

"This stone tower has been there since we entered this wasteland. We don't know what it is. There are weird things everywhere in this grassland, including those Demonic Beasts, which cannot be judged by common sense."

"It's hard to explain this in words. I couldn't finish talking to Fellow Daoist for three days and three nights. After Fellow Daoist stays here temporarily, he will naturally know it in the future."

eccentric?

What's weird?

And why is it called being trapped here?

Chen Ping was indeed full of doubts and puzzles. He was about to continue asking questions when he saw the middle-aged Gold Core looking at Chen Ping and asking again:

"By the way, what are the two fellows, Fellow Daoist?"

Chen Ping clasped his hands and replied:

"Junior Foundation Building Late Stage cultivation level, junior sister Gold Core level one cultivation level."

Hearing this, Brother Jin was a little disappointed. He looked away from Chen Ping and sighed.

In the end, he just nodded and said:

"The cultivation level is not high, but it is not bad. At least it is not below the middle stage of Foundation Building or above Nascent Soul."

Chen Ping was stunned.

What's the meaning?

What does it mean to be at least not above Nascent Soul?

Not only Chen Ping, but Xiyue who was walking beside Chen Ping also glanced here and frowned slightly, as if she was concentrating on sensing something.

Chen Ping's tone was 'not too slow' and he asked calmly:

"Senior, why do you say you're lucky you're not above Nascent Soul? What does this mean?"

"Because Canglan Grassland is called the cursed grassland. Here, any cultivation level higher than Nascent Soul will be suppressed. The higher the cultivation level, the more powerful the suppression will be." Monk Jin shrugged and continued:

"If a Soul Formation monk enters this place by mistake, Fellow Daoist Chen can easily kill him."

Chen Ping looked at his cheap master and was shocked.

Seeing Chen Ping looking over, Xiyue nodded and said through a message:

"What this person said should be true. I think of it now. I have heard that it is indeed called the 'cursed grassland'. I will tell you more about it later."

At this time, the three of them had already reached the inside of the village. After the golden monk stopped, he said:

"The two Fellow Daoists can find a place to open up a Cave Mansion on their own, as long as they do not interfere with other people's existing Cave Mansion. Of course, the central area of ​​the village is protected by a formation, mainly to protect the stone tower, and is generally not allowed to enter casually. .”

"If Fellow Daoist doesn't like the trouble, he can also choose an unowned Cave Mansion over there. The aura of the whole village is similar. And there is no rent to speak of."

"I won't mention anything else. If Fellow Daoist has any questions, you can just ask a neighbor."

"Also, someone will come to Fellow Daoist later to register detailed information. This is a common practice and for the sake of the safety of the village. I hope Fellow Daoist understands."

Chen Ping quickly clasped his hands:

"Thank you, Senior Jin, for leading the way."

After a few polite words, the golden monk excused himself and left the central area of ​​the village, disappearing into the formation.

After Chen Ping watched Brother Jin leave, he looked at the village again.

There are houses, spiritual fields, vegetable fields in the village, and there are even some children playing around.

The sense of peace here is in sharp contrast to the wilderness outside.

There are even big trees here that are invisible in the wilderness.

Judging from the combination of big trees and houses, the village does not seem to be a newly developed village.

It already has a certain sense of age.

When Chen Ping and Chen Ping were walking on the road, some working monks or monks in their own yards would slightly nod to say hello, and then continue to do their own business.

As if the arrival of a stranger was no surprise.

Chen Ping looked at the few Cave Mansions with the 'Ownerless' sign on a high ground that Monk Jin pointed out just now, and then looked at other places.

Indeed, as Brother Jin said, the environments are similar.

"Let's go over and choose one." Chen Ping said.

The most urgent thing now is to have a stable place for Xiyue to recover.

Being injured in this grassland is not a good thing for Xiyue herself or Chen Ping.

Everything else is secondary.

"Yeah." Xiyue nodded.

The two simply compared the few available Cave Mansions, chose one with multiple quiet rooms, and settled in there.

Originally, there were many questions that I wanted to ask Xiyue about Canglan Grassland, but seeing how weak she looked, I was too embarrassed to ask any more.

The two of them took the time to take care of one of the quiet rooms first.

"It's almost done. Master, let's practice here first. We'll do the rest after you're well. Do you want my help?" Chen Ping asked.

Xiyue shook her head and said:

"You should take a rest yourself. I brought a Divine Pill. This pill is very good at repairing the Primordial Spirit. It should be able to recover quickly."

Chen Ping nodded and did not disturb her again. He closed the door of the quiet room for her and walked out.

I once again took care of the areas in Cave Mansion that I had not had time to clean up just now.

There are spells and cleansing talismans. For Chen Ping, these tasks are just a dozen breaths of work.

Finally, a nine-palace psychedelic formation and a six-sun and six-yao integrated offensive and defensive formation were arranged at the entrance of Cave Mansion.

This set of Six Suns and Six Yao has been perfected by Chen Ping.

But he had only seen the power of this formation in his own sea of ​​consciousness and understanding.

It has never been actually practiced.

We still don’t know what the actual strength of the enemy is.

What is certain is that although this formation is a Rank Two formation, due to the 'Great Perfection' and Chen Ping's own improvements and optimizations, it already has the power of the Rank Three formation.

According to what Monk Gold said, Monk Nascent Soul will be suppressed in terms of cultivation here. In other words, the other monks at the highest level here should have Gold Core strength.

In this case, these formations are very valuable.

Works well against Gold Core.

Chen Ping returned to the Cave Mansion and felt the intensity of the aura here for a while.

‘The concentration of spiritual energy is not high. ’

‘It’s almost at the level of Rank One Spiritual Land. ’

Moreover, after entering from the village entrance just now, the aura was similar all the way. Even near the central area of ​​the village, it did not seem to become stronger.

‘It seems like this village has no spiritual veins or anything like that. ’

‘It was built here purely because of the stone tower. ’

‘This place is not suitable for practice, it is far inferior to Xiaozhu Peak. We have to Core Formation as soon as possible, and then find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. ’

‘Rank One is too low. ’

Chen Ping took out the Dragon Hidden Spirit Gathering array and arranged it in the Cave Mansion.

After sensing it again, the spiritual energy immediately became much stronger.

Fortunately, I brought the formation.

‘Otherwise, the intensity of this aura will have an impact on Core Formation. ’

I don’t know what powerful formations are in Xiyue’s storage bag.

She is an amazing formation mage.

It was she who built the Lingxiao Sect's mountain-protecting formation.

The formation he arranged could also trap Chi Liang for dozens of breaths.

By the way, there are also futons and jade beds.

The futon is a rare vine futon from Rank Three. I bought it from the widow during my travels. It not only has a Spirit Gathering effect, but can also refine spiritual energy and form an aura.

It is very beneficial to your cultivation.

The jade bed is called the 'Ice Jade Bed'. It was bought by Chen Ping through bidding for more than 100 High Grade spiritual stones, which is more than 10,000 Middle Grade spiritual stones. It is the most expensive one that Chen Ping has ever bid for except for the Five Elements Liquid. treasure.

Not only does it have a Spirit Gathering effect, it also has value in promoting spiritual practice.

After placing the ice jade bed and futon, Chen Ping sat down again to practice and experience it.

The effect has obviously increased a lot.

With the blessing of the ice jade bed, futon, and formation, the intensity of the spiritual energy reached at least level 2 or above.

Coupled with the two effects of 'promoting practice and refining spiritual energy', the effect is even more outstanding, at least equivalent to a spiritual land of level 2.5 or above.

Although this is still not comparable to Xiaozhu Peak, it is much better.

‘With the addition of Qi Gathering Pill, the spiritual energy is barely enough. ’

‘Fortunately, we brought jade beds, futons and formations. How can other monks who are not so well prepared practice here? ’

‘Doesn’t it mean that there is no progress in cultivation at all? ’

Chen Ping stood up and walked out of the quiet room. He looked in the direction of Xiyue's quiet room and felt a violent vibration of spiritual power. Apparently, he had begun to recover his Primordial Spirit.

So I didn't bother her.

She placed a control token of the Five Elements Psychedelic Array and the Six Suns and Six Yao Arrays at the door of her quiet room, and then walked out of the Cave Mansion alone.

He still has too many doubts and confusions about this world and needs to understand them clearly.

As soon as I walked out of the Cave Mansion, in the outer courtyard of the Cave Mansion not far away, a bearded monk said hello from a distance:

"I just came back from somewhere else. I heard that two new Fellow Daoists have arrived, and I was thinking of paying them a visit. I met the Fellow Daoists on the second floor of Gold Core in Xiaminghe."

Another Gold Core.

It seems there are a lot of Gold Cores here.

Chen Ping quickly greeted him:

"Chen Tu, I'm on the ninth floor of the Foundation Building. I've met Senior Ming."

"Chen Tu? What a good name." Ming He smiled and said, "Where did Fellow Daoist Chen come from?"

Chen Ping thought for a while and said vaguely:

"Piaomiao Continent."

"Piaomiao Continent? Where is that?" Minghe scratched his head and thought for a while.

This time it was Chen Ping's turn to be confused.

He originally didn't want to talk about Xihuang or Xizhou, so he took a careless approach and tried to get through.

I never thought that the other party had never heard of Piaomiao Continent.

Just like before wearing it, when someone asks you where you are from, you don't say which city or province, or even which country, just say you are from the earth.

As a result, the other party asked you, ‘Where is the earth?’

This is very confusing.

…Where exactly is this Canglan grassland?

"Senior, do you know where the Canglan Grassland is?" Chen Ping did not ask where Minghe came from, nor could he explain where the Piaomiao Continent was. He was more concerned about the situation of the Canglan Grassland.

"Canglan Grassland, hey, it's really a cursed place. I'm unlucky to have fallen here. I didn't know what this ghost place was until I came here." Minghe complained first, and then explained to Canglan The situation of the grassland.

Canglan Grassland is said to be located in the northeast of the human world, surrounded by an endless sea.

It is said that the endless sea cannot be flown out by Gold Core monks.

Before the war between humans and demons in ancient times, there were many high-level monks who established sects here.

At its most glorious time, there were thousands of sects.

However, during the war between humans and demons, this place became the main battlefield for high-level monks to fight, and almost everything was completely razed to the ground.

The entire sect was destroyed.

The scorched land left many areas barren of vegetation for many years.

The remaining evil spirits, the various ancient formations arranged by high-level monks but not removed, the evil spirits derived from countless dead souls, the various illusions left behind by the war, and the remaining Dao Rhyme and magic charm that can affect the monks' state of mind...

These are all over the blue grassland.

No one dares to enter here again.

In other words, practitioners who venture into this place are basically unable to get out.

This place has become a horrifying 'cursed place'.

Many years later, when high-level monks set foot here again, they discovered that this place had somehow suppressed the cultivation of high-level monks above Nascent Soul.

The laws of heaven and earth have changed here.

The higher the cultivation level, the stronger one is suppressed.

At this point, this place has become a truly forbidden area.

"How big is Canglan Grassland? How can we get out?" Chen Ping couldn't help but ask.

That's what he cares about most.

The spiritual energy here is not good, which is not good for practice.

Even though I have used multiple methods, I have only reached the level of Level 2.5 Spiritual Land. This is not bad for a Foundation Building monk. Once Core Formation occurs, my practice will inevitably be affected.

Moreover, Xiyue is here, but Yu Lingchun is in Tianyan Sect.

Although Yu Lingchun has Foundation Building and her life span has increased a lot, she will be fine in the short term.

But a sudden interruption in treatment is never a good thing.

Speaking of this, Minghe smiled bitterly:

"How to get out? To be honest, Fellow Daoist said that when we first entered Canglan Grassland, three Fellow Daoists and I headed south all the way without changing direction. We walked for two full years, but we only ended up here."

"Among the four monks who were traveling with me, I was the only one who survived. Now that I'm here, I no longer have the courage to go on."

"Moreover, the grassland is covered with invisible ancient strange formations. If you are not careful, you will wander into them. The Fellow Daoist started from here and went straight south, never looking back. But after walking for more than a year , what do you think? It ended up coming back here again."

"What's even more despairing is that from the atlas that someone brought later, it can be seen that the outer edge of Canglan Grassland is the Endless Sea, and no Gold Core monk can fly out."

Chen Ping's heart grew colder the more he listened.

If so many Gold Core monks have failed, then even if he succeeds in Core Formation, he is only at the first level of Gold Core. How can he get out?

After hearing Ming He's last sentence, Chen Ping asked:

"What about Nascent Soul? Even Soul Formation? Aren't there these two types of monks who mistakenly entered here?"

What Chen Ping wants to ask is if Gold Core escorts Nascent Soul or Soul Formation monks to the border of the grassland, and then Nascent Soul and Soul Formation take these Gold Core monks across the endless sea.

Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?

Minghe obviously understood what Chen Ping wanted to ask, shook his head and said:

"I have never heard of a Soul Formation entering it by mistake. Maybe there is. Otherwise, how would the outside world know that this is a cursed place? And how would they know of the danger here? Someone has definitely walked out of here."

"But don't think about it for Nascent Soul. It is said that a large area of ​​​​the Endless Sea, like Canglan Grassland, will also suppress cultivation. After Nascent Soul transmigrate that area with the body of Gold Core, it will no longer be enough to continue flying out. The endless sea.”

Chen Ping's heart sank.

Doesn't this mean that Xiyue can't do anything?

Wouldn’t that mean you were trapped to death on this grassland?

The village here lacks spiritual energy. Even if I try not to think of my two wives and stay here for hundreds of years, I am afraid that my cultivation will not improve much.

Hundreds of years later, I still can’t get out of Canglan Grassland.

This is a dead end.

Chen Ping forgot to take a look at the direction outside the village and felt that the road would not end here.

Maybe there are other ways.
