Immortal Palace Longevity

——In the 904th year of the Yuanyang calendar, the Chang'an Plan officially began.

Liu Yu, Zhuo Mengzhen, Mu Yunyan, Gao Jianhan, and Canglou Laodao ventured into the Hengduan Mountains and started their journey to the Central Region.

——In the 9032nd year of the Yuanyang calendar, the group was spotted by the Fire Phoenix Clan when they crossed the Xinghuo Mountains. Liu Yu sacrificed the "Instant Thousand Miles Talisman" and took Zhuo Mengzhen through the Hengduan Mountains and arrived at the Annan Protectorate.

As for the other three people, their lives and deaths are unknown.

——In the 9040th year of the Yuanyang calendar, the battle of Lingwu City ended. Liu Yu accepted Zhang Yi as his personal disciple, officially left the Annan Protectorate, and began to contact the Central Region Xiuxian world.

It took thirty-six years for Liu Yu to officially arrive in the Central Region controlled by the human race.

After more than 100,000 years, the Central Region once again welcomed visitors from Tiannan.

——————————————————

"Swoosh"

Liu Yu's pure mana surged, and in just a few breaths, he caught up with Zhang Ziping and his three men who had gone ahead.

Five rays of light cut through the sky and fled in the direction away from Lingzhou.

Before leaving, he once again looked back at the distant Lingwu City through the gap in the "Thousand Mountains Locking Spirit Formation".

Although he couldn't see it clearly, Liu Yu had already sketched out a picture in his mind.

Sections of collapsed city walls, wisps of black smoke rising from the city, and Zhang family monks were racing against time to repair them.

It was just a short time, and no matter how much they repaired, they couldn't remove the traces left by the previous war.

One after another, the remnants of magic, as if they were born this way, were engraved on sections of intact or incomplete city walls without any sense of disobedience.

"Glory is nothing but rust on a shield and sword."

As he sketched out the picture of Lingwu City at this moment in his mind, Liu Yu suddenly recalled this sentence, and his understanding of war became more profound.

Then he turned his head, paid attention to the situation along the way, and flew away with all his heart.

For the Annan Six Continents, he was always a passer-by, and this place was no longer the "Annan Protectorate" of the past.

On the right, Zhang Yi was a little dishonest and struggled to look back.

"Great-grandfather."

The boy murmured, saying goodbye to the elder who took care of him and grew up, and there was still a lot of reluctance in his heart.

But Zhang Yi remembered Zhang Tao's instructions and the earnest teachings before leaving, and still forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and barely changed his face to a resolute look.

As for Zhuo Meng, she finally crossed the Hengduan Mountains and successfully left the Annan Six Continents controlled by the demon clan. She was much more relaxed and her face was replaced with a relaxed look.

Originally, when they arrived in the Central Region, the two should have broken up and went their separate ways.

However, this woman never mentioned separation, and it seemed that she had no intention of going her separate ways for the time being, and she still followed closely by his side.

Considering that Zhuo Mengzhen was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and had a certain strength, Liu Yu temporarily put aside the idea of ​​breaking up and agreed that the woman would temporarily follow him.

After all, when the sequelae of the practice occurred, it would be difficult to deal with it without a female cultivator by his side.

Liu was not a lecher!

"Swoosh"

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and five rays of light almost flew into the depths of the mountains without any order, disappearing from the sight of many cultivators.

At the original place, those cultivators with dark pasts had also thought of forming a team and practicing together.

But for various reasons, it was still difficult to speak.

Even if they spoke, they did not get a response from others due to various practical factors.

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, they still bowed and left in silence to experience their own destiny.

...

The size of the Central Region is unimaginable for ordinary mortals. Even if they spend their entire lives, they cannot reach from one end to the other.

The cultivators below the Golden Core Realm, because their strength is too weak, cannot withstand the slightest storm, and often will not leave the scope of "one continent" in their entire lives.

There are ninety-nine continents in the Central Region, and the territory is only slightly smaller than the sum of the other four regions.

Except for the last six continents of Annan, each of the other ninety-three continents is at least as large as the State of Chu.

Among them, the "Core Nine States", the birthplace of the human race, is the most vast, blessed by the creation of heaven and earth, and has bred countless rare resources for cultivating immortals.

It can be said that there are outstanding people and excellent spiritual roots, and people with excellent spiritual roots emerge from generation to generation.

There are also many special qualifications such as spiritual bodies and divine bodies in each generation.

Therefore, no matter which immortal dynasty, it must tightly control the core nine states and cannot tolerate other forces to interfere.

And the control over the core nine states often indicates whether a fairy dynasty is strong or not.

At the end of the immortal dynasty, there are often all kinds of ominous signs, and the sharp decline in the control over the core nine states is one of the most obvious signs.

The capital of Daqian is located in "Shenzhou", one of the core nine states.

"Swoosh, swoosh"

The light of flight cut through the sky, and after flying about a thousand miles away from the Annan Six Continents, a fairy city loomed on the distant horizon.

"Is this the "Demon Suppression City"?"

Looking at the fairy city looming in the distance, a name naturally emerged in Liu Yu's mind.

During the eight years spent in the Annan Six Continents, he has never given up collecting information about the situation in the Central Region, and he is no longer as ignorant as when he first arrived.

Yunzhou is adjacent to Lingzhou. After the fall of the Annan Six Continents, it actually became the front line of the confrontation between the Central Region and the Tiannan Demon Clan.

"Demon Suppression City" was also built after the fall of the Annan Protectorate because of the need to guard against the demon clan.

The reason why it was built so far away, a thousand miles away from the "Thousand Mountains Locking Spirit Formation", is also to prevent the demon clan from suddenly attacking.

After all, for a demon cultivator above the third level, a distance of tens or hundreds of miles would not take much time.

"Swoosh"

As the light shuttled through, Liu Yu's sight quickly narrowed, and he gradually saw the appearance of the city clearly.

The city walls were pitch black, with a unique cold color of metal. They did not emit a single ray of light under the sunlight, as if they had absorbed all the light.

The scope of the city was not large. In terms of scale and area, it was far from being comparable to Lingwu City and Changnan City.

But Liu Yu was sure that the cost of building this city was definitely not lower than the two most important cities in the six continents of Annan.

This was because every section of the city wall was built with spiritual materials, and they were second-level spiritual materials!

"A fairy city with a range of about 40 miles, the walls are all made of second-level spiritual materials."

"What a big deal!"

"Even if the grade is a little low, the quantity is huge!"

"With so many spiritual materials in front of him, I'm afraid Yuanying Zhenjun will be tempted and think about it day and night."

"Such a big deal, if it were Yuanyang Sect, they couldn't build it even with all their strength!"

Although he had prepared in advance, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw such a fairy city made of second-level spiritual materials.

But when he thought of Qianting's support, everything seemed natural.

He continued to zoom in, and after ten breaths, he could clearly see the rune array engraved on the wall.

Although he knew nothing about the way of array and only knew some basic knowledge, Liu Yu could still feel that these runes were not simple.

Even if it was compared with the rune array of Lingwu City, it seemed to be much more advanced, and it must have been made by a master!

"Such a heavy city, even if the formation is not activated, it is difficult for a third-level demon cultivator to break through."

"If there is no fourth-level demon king, even if the number of third-level demon cultivators reaches a certain scale, it will definitely cost a huge price to break through."

"The same is true for Jindan cultivators."

Without showing any strange color on his face, Liu Yu looked at the "Demon Suppression City" standing in the distance with a faint evil spirit, and the information about this city flashed through his mind.

It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent the sudden attack of the demon clan, the number of mortals in this city is very small.

Except for some specific groups serving immortal cultivators, ordinary mortals are not allowed to enter at all.

After all, it is located at the forefront of the confrontation. If a war with the demon clan goes on one day, secular mortals will only be a burden.

Not only that, from the "Thousand Mountains Locking Spirit Formation" to the "Demon Suppression City", there are almost no people in the thousand-mile range.

On the one hand, the monsters of the six continents of Annan will come out from time to time to hunt for "blood food".

On the other hand, Qianting and the Holy Land do not want to "assist the enemy".

"Fellow Daoist from Gucheng, after we enter the "Demon Suppression City" later, we will take the teleportation array to travel, and there is no need to fly away in person."

"The family has already arranged the negotiations with the major immortal cities, and we will not be deliberately harassed."

"Fellow Daoist, just keep silent."

At this time, a steady voice sounded in his ears, and Zhang Ziping, who was wearing a light blue robe, flew close and said meaningfully.

While speaking, he glanced at the cultivator in the black robe, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Looks ordinary, only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but has the strength to impact the real person list. Is this the Tiannan envoy?"

After looking at him for a few times, Zhang Ziping retracted his gaze and thought secretly in his heart.

His strength is also among the best among his peers, and he couldn't help comparing himself with the other party.

Zhang Ziping is one of the few cultivators in the Zhang family who knows Liu Yu's identity. When he thinks that the other party can cross the Hengduan Mountains to the Central Region, it seems that it is not unacceptable to have such strength.

After all, being able to cross the dangerous Hengduan Mountains itself means that one has some extraordinary qualities, otherwise the Hengduan Mountains would not have caused so many cultivators to fail.

"Gu Mou understands, I will follow the arrangements of Daoist Fellow Ziping and will not act rashly."

Liu Yu nodded slightly and said politely.

Since he was hitchhiking, he naturally had to abide by the rules of the host and could not do whatever he wanted.

"Zhang Yi, I will ask Daoist Fellow Gucheng to take care of him. Please take care of him."

After a few breaths of silence, Zhang Ziping suddenly said.

The aptitude of the Heavenly Spiritual Root is much better than that of the Other Spiritual Root. It would be a pity if it was buried.

Moreover, he was taken care of by Zhang Tao in his early years, and with the affection of the same clan, he really couldn't bear to see the good talents of the younger generation of the same clan buried.

All these factors added up, and this person couldn't help but speak.

"Fellow Daoist Ziping, please relax."

"Since Zhang Yi is now Gu's direct disciple, I will naturally polish this rough jade."

"Otherwise, I will not be able to face fellow Daoist Zhang Tao again."

Liu Yu smiled slightly and said seriously.

After hearing this, Zhang Ziping nodded slightly, and then took Zhang Yi to another place, as if he wanted to tell him something.

Liu Yu looked at this scene calmly, without stopping the communication between the two Zhang family members, but he felt a little emotional in his heart.

When he was still in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, he was an inconspicuous outer sect disciple of Yuanyang Sect. He had to plan everything by himself, and there was no care from the elders of the sect.

Even the uncle who belonged to the same branch of the courtyard never cared about a small outer sect disciple.

How could Zhang Yi be treated like this today? Not only did he not lack various cultivation resources, but his path was also arranged by the elders of the family.

As long as he followed the steps and did not make any major mistakes, he could surpass more than 99% of the cultivators and easily condense the golden elixir.

Even the “famous teachers” have been arranged!

"The cycle of life and death is also a technical job~"

"I have to admit that some monks are born at the end of some monks."

Seeing the cordial exchange between the two Zhang family members, Liu Yu felt a little emotional.

…

"Whizzing"

The escape speed of the Jindan monk is already very fast. Even if he does not enter the explosive state, the distance of twenty or thirty miles can be covered in a few breaths.

"tread"

A group of six people landed at the north gate of Demon Suppression City.

Zhang Ziping had no intention of queuing up to enter the city. He simply said a few words and went straight to negotiate with the monks guarding the city.

Even if the powers at the level of gods are in decline now, they can still enjoy various privileges in the Central Region that are beyond the reach of ordinary monks.

Taking advantage of the gap, Liu Yu looked around casually, sizing up this important border city.

The spiritual sense can clearly sense that in the long queue in front of the city gate, strong or weak spiritual pressure is coming from one after another.

They were all cultivators, not a mortal.

All around, there were streaks of escaping light falling, revealing the monks covered in dust.

Most of the monks kept a respectful distance from Liu Yu and the others, and chose to walk around them when they saw them from a distance.

After all, a battle had just ended, and several of them had an evil aura that was completely different from ordinary monks.

Moreover, several Jindan monks gathered together, but they didn't look like they were easy to mess with.

"It seems that the number of Golden Core cultivators in the Central Territory is not as high as expected."

"That's right. Although in theory one can cultivate immortality with spiritual roots, but due to factors such as qualifications and resources, only one person can advance to the next level."

"And when you reach the Golden Core realm, you have already gone through several rounds of survival of the fittest."

"Even if the Central Region is rich in resources for cultivating immortals, it is impossible for the golden elixir to be everywhere, and the Nascent Soul is not as good as a dog."

"In the Central Territory, although the status of Jindan monks is not as good as that of Tiannan. They can establish a sect and call themselves ancestors, but they will not be unknown people."

Among the monks he met, there were not many who had reached the golden elixir realm as expected, which made Liu Yu feel a little strange.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.

Even so, while Liu Yu stayed there for a moment, among the one or two hundred monks who came from all directions, there were three or four who had reached the golden elixir realm.

This ratio has far exceeded Tiannan.

Even including the "Monster Suppression City", the unique geographical location and the ability to go to the border to hunt monsters have attracted many monks who consider themselves to be powerful, and the proportion is still far higher than that of Tiannan.

"In the Central Region, although special magic weapons and instruments like the 'Spirit Ship' have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, the art of cultivating immortals has become mature."

"It also spawned the "ship refiner" and other professions that revolve around spiritual ships."

"But things like spiritual ships seem to be far from ordinary, let alone one that can be used by everyone."

Looking at the passing light, Liu Yu thought silently.

According to his observation, none of the thirty monks who came and went could control the spirit ship, which was less than one-thirtieth.

This is enough to show that the cost of building a spiritual ship is high, and the price is far beyond the reach of ordinary monks, even if it is only a spiritual ship of a corresponding level.

Not to mention a spiritual ship that is one level higher than a monk and can increase its combat power by a large level.

Looking around, there is not a single monk who can control high-level spiritual ships.

"On the contrary, the cassock seems to have become popular."

"Judging from the current situation, although the price of the robes is much higher than that of magical weapons of the same grade, it is still within the range that ordinary monks can afford."

"Ordinary monks grit their teeth, spend most of their wealth, and live frugally for decades, so they should be able to buy one."

"Of course, the ordinary monks here do not refer to casual cultivators."

Liu Yu's eyes passed over the monks and noticed the faint light on some monks' clothes. Liu Yu speculated in his mind.

"And the concentration of the overall spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Central Region seems to be significantly higher than that in Tiannan."

"Even if they are not on the spiritual line and have not yet entered the city, the contrast is still somewhat obvious."

"This kind of spiritual energy concentration should be two-tenths of the first-order low-grade spiritual veins. This is just an ordinary area."

With no intention of communicating with others, Liu Yu habitually collected information about the area when he came to a strange area.

His spiritual sense spreads out, and he can clearly feel the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth, which is obviously higher than Tiannan.

After all, he had lived in Tiannan for more than a hundred years, and he was extremely sure of it.

"That's right, only if the concentration of the overall spiritual energy of heaven and earth is higher, can more spiritual beings be bred and support so many monks."

"Otherwise it's just a vast area, which doesn't make any sense."

This thought flashed through his mind.

In fact, as early as in the Annan Six Continents, Liu Yu had faintly felt that the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had increased.

But it wasn't obvious at the time, so it wasn't confirmed at the first time.

If you estimate carefully, even if it is not above the spiritual veins, the richness of the spiritual energy of Yunzhou Heaven and Earth is about two-tenths of the first-level low-grade spiritual veins.

As for the six Annan continents, it is at most one-tenth.

As for Tiannan, he cannot reach the level estimated by his spiritual veins. He simply absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. If he cultivates with spiritual root qualifications, his speed will be as slow as a turtle crawling.

"This means that with the same spiritual root qualifications, those born in the Central Region are more likely to go further than those born in Tiannan."

"The importance of birth."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu shook his head slightly, with a wry smile on his lips.

Beside him, Zhuo Mengzhen was also looking around thoughtfully, and he should have noticed this.

At this time, Zhang Ziping finished negotiating with the monks guarding the city, and walked over and said:

"It's all done, fellow Daoist Gucheng, let's continue on our way."

Liu Yu nodded calmly, led Zhuo Mengzhen and the other two, and walked straight to the city gate.

Under the attention of various monks with different cultivation levels, they passed the queue to enter the city and directly entered the Demon-Suppressing City.

"Which big force is this monk from?"

"His cultivation level is not even at the Nascent Soul level, but he can let the monks guarding the city give him a break. He must be at least a force at the level of God Transformation, right?"

"Holy Land? Family?"

Seeing the six people disappear at the city gate, the monks who were slowly queuing up speculated in their hearts.

But their own realm strength is insufficient, and they don't have a strong background, so they can only abide by the rules and queue up slowly.

With the Zhang family's powerful network of relationships paving the way, the six people traveled unimpeded all the way, and were not blocked at all in this important city, and successfully arrived at the Transmission Hall.

"Buzz"

The formation trembled slightly, and the runes gradually lit up, and the milky white spiritual light shone.

When the spiritual light shone to the extreme, it dimmed again, and the six people in the formation had disappeared.

In this way, with everything arranged by the Zhang family in advance, Liu Yu, Zhang Ziping and others hurried through the teleportation arrays of the major immortal cities.

In a short period of time, they crossed a very long distance and traveled between the immortal cities of various continents.

If they chose to fly, even at the speed of a Jindan cultivator, it would take at least several months or even years.

And because of the "teleportation array" derived from the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, it only took one day.

...

"Buzz"

The teleportation array trembled slightly, and suddenly the spiritual light was strong, but when the spiritual light dimmed, six figures had already appeared in it.

"Such a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"Even without the blessing of spiritual veins, it has almost reached the concentration of four tenths of the first-level low-grade spiritual veins."

The strong body of the third-level late stage, coupled with the experience of riding the teleportation array many times, made Liu Yu sober up in just a moment, without any sequelae of riding the teleportation array.

The spiritual sense spread out, feeling the concentration of spiritual energy around, and he calmly estimated in his heart.

At this time, it was already a day later.

During this day, Liu Yu and others traveled between the immortal cities, quickly crossed the long distance between the continents, and had arrived at the "core nine states" of the central region.

"Xuanyuan Immortal City"

"Xuanyuan City is located on the edge of Shenzhou, fellow Daoist Gucheng, we have arrived in Shenzhou now."

"After a few more teleports, we can reach "Shenjing".

Beside him, Zhang Ziping said, and then walked out of the teleportation array.

Looking at the cultivators coming and going in the teleportation hall, his eyes flashed with a complex color.

After coming to Shenjing, he will not return to the six continents of Annan for a long time.

Zhang Ziping understood the intention of the family.

Because of his excellent aptitude, he had cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core before he was 400 years old, and the possibility of successfully condensing the Infant was very high, so he was arranged to take this trip, away from the six continents where the war was about to start.

In case of an accident over there, it would be better to keep some seeds with excellent aptitude as the hope for the family to make a comeback.

But even so, he had enjoyed the convenience of the family for hundreds of years, but now he could not fight side by side when the family needed him.

Zhang Ziping still felt guilty and could not accept this arrangement with peace of mind!

"Yes, we have arrived in Shenzhou, not far from Shenjing."

Liu Yu nodded slightly, and after speaking, he hugged Zhang Yi, who was still dizzy, and walked out of the teleportation array.

In his dark eyes,

there was a gleam of rationality,

and he swept through the cultivators in the hall. He understood that this would definitely be a new beginning!
