Chapter 57 The Great Northern Desert
Xu Xiao also mastered important information from the past events described by Hu De, and learned of a great opportunity, so he decided on the strategy of Tianzun Sect to develop to the north.
Brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu controlled the flying boat to fly forward slowly.
After leaving the dangerous Daqing Mountains, Xu Xiao no longer needed to remain on guard, and he completely relaxed and quietly admired the scenery of thousands of miles of yellow sand. However, after watching for a while, he felt bored. There was nothing but yellow sand below, and there was no change at all.
According to the information previously learned from Hu De, the so-called northern desert was also a fertile land with abundant water and grass and fertile land thousands of years ago. This place is full of spiritual energy and rich products. Although it is far inferior to the most prosperous and core areas of the Xiuxian world, it is far stronger than today's Weiguo.
However, a war between Xiuxian completely changed this place.
In the center of the battlefield, the earth collapsed, the ground fire surged, the air was filled with endless poisonous smoke and miasma, all living things were extinct, and it became a dead land.
Near the center of the battlefield, the earth dragon turned over, the spiritual veins were destroyed, and the vitality of heaven and earth was turbulent, becoming a forbidden place for cultivators.
The Great Northern Desert was just the edge of the battlefield. It was only slightly affected by the aftermath and became what it is today. The fertile land of the past, hundreds of millions of lives, all turned into nothingness, leaving only thousands of miles of yellow sand and a handful of oases for the remaining humans to survive.
Even if the area where Weiguo is located is not a barrier for the Daqing Mountains to block most of the harm, it is probably not much better than the Great Northern Desert today. Even so, due to the large amount of spiritual energy being extracted, Weiguo has become a barren land in the world of cultivation.
These unrestrained and reckless cultivators are really the biggest cancer between heaven and earth. Xu Xiao had a certain enlightenment in his heart.
The doomsday scene described in the wasteland novels he had read in his previous life was nothing more than this. The damage caused to the world by the cultivators with great magical powers far exceeded that of nuclear bombs.
If no one suppresses and disciplines these immortal cultivators, and there is no need for foreign invasion, the world will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later.
As a Shinto practitioner, and also possessing a natural god like the God's clone, Xu Xiao also follows the way of the gods, to maintain the normal operation of heaven and earth, and to protect the world as his highest mission.
A strong sense of mission rose in Xu Xiao's heart, and the vague feeling when he first entered the northern desert began to become clear. The opportunity for the God's clone to prove the truth is in this endless and desolate desert.
The gods are very sensitive to the various senses between heaven and earth, and they will gain something if they feel it occasionally. Xu Xiao, who has the God's clone, also has such a talent.
With such a sense, in the following journey, the flying boat stopped and started, and the speed of advancement was not fast. Every time it passed a certain distance, the flying boat stopped, and Xu Xiao would come to the ground, carefully examine various situations, and think about how to save this desert.
Along the way, in addition to the routine raging sand, there were often violent sandstorms. Facing this unprecedented sandstorm, even Xu Xiao did not dare to be careless. If he was caught in it by accident, the flying boat would definitely not be able to be saved. Except for Xu Xiao himself, everyone else was in danger of life.
With Hood, an old horse who knew the way, as a guide, once there was a sign of a big sandstorm, Xu Xiao would use his divine power to sense the safe direction and command the flying boat to escape with all his strength.
There were several big sandstorms along the way, but because they were discovered early and reacted quickly, they finally escaped in time without any danger.
The flying boat landed on the ground again, Xu Xiao picked up a handful of loess, threw it away, and let the loess be blown away by the wind.
This was the soil that Xu Xiao used his divine power to fish out from the ground more than a hundred feet deep. There was not a trace of water in the yellow soil, and it was as loose as gravel. According to this, even if it was a thousand feet deep underground, there might not be underground water sources.
"Master, what's so fun about a pile of yellow earth? It's hot and dry here, it's really uncomfortable." The maid Xiaoxuan wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help complaining.
Xiaoxuan, who practiced the water element transformation in the "Five Elements Divine Transformation Sutra", was very unhappy with this hot and dry environment without any moisture.
Before entering the Great Northern Desert, Xu Xiao also made a lot of preparations. For example, he came up with a new divine art of water making. The priests of the Tianzun Sect can use the divine power bestowed by the incarnation of the gods to collect water vapor in the air and condense clear water.
But in the Great Northern Desert where there is no trace of water vapor in the air, the divine art of water making has no place to use.
Xu Xiao, who felt that he had underestimated the difficulties and was not well prepared, couldn't help but sigh.
Don't think that extraordinary beings like cultivators don't need to replenish water. Cultivators eat wind and drink dew, which is to absorb moisture from the air. If you are trapped in the Great Northern Desert for a long time, there is no water vapor in the air, let alone spiritual energy, and even cultivators can't last too long.
Xu Xiao pinched Xiaoxuan's cheek casually, "Girl, you're complaining here, the hard times are still ahead."
Although the flying boat has already stored enough clean water, it is better to find a water source as soon as possible to replenish it.
Next, the flying boat slightly increased its speed. After several days and nights of flying, the ground finally changed.
The ground was no longer a layer of unchanging yellow sand, and large stones began to appear. In addition to countless sand dunes, there were also some small hills. Even the strong wind in the air was not so violent.
The flying boat advanced a long distance, and Hood, the former local snake, began to recall his past memories.
"I remember that there would be human settlements about a hundred miles ahead. There was a small hill there, and in the belly of the hill, there was a small well that fed a small settlement. It has been decades, and I don't know if the situation has changed. Is that settlement still there?"
In the violent desert, such a micro-settlement has too low ability to resist risks. The drying up of water sources and an unprecedented storm can make such a micro-settlement disappear completely. Not to mention that the desert has never been a peaceful place. In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters. The more difficult the living environment is, the more fierce the internal struggle of human beings is, and the more serious the man-made disasters are.
It is said to be a thousand-mile uninhabited area. In fact, according to Xu Xiao's estimation, this uninhabited area actually exceeds two thousand miles. There were no supplies along the way, so it was difficult for ordinary people, even for cultivators with insufficient cultivation, to cross.
The flying boat passed through the vast uninhabited area and was about to enter the inhabited area. The scorching sun above didn't seem so blazing. The heat waves in the air didn't seem so scorching.
