Taiping Inn

The vast southern Xinjiang, the hundred thousand mountains,

This ancient land of southern Xinjiang, whether it is the teachings of Confucian saints, the preaching of Taoist Tianshi, or even the Buddhist sect from the West, are all rejected here. They just left a few footprints in southern Xinjiang with difficulty and left in a hurry. In the eyes of most people in the Central Plains, this is a wild and barren land with miasma.

Because this place belongs to the witch religion.

The witch religion was once prosperous, but after the internal strife of the eleven great witches, it gradually weakened and was later defeated by the Taoist Tianshi religion. Except for the branches of Posuo State and the Golden Horde, the remaining forces all retreated to the territory of southern Xinjiang and survived.

If the vast grassland is the natural barrier of the Golden Horde, then the countless mountains are the natural barrier of southern Xinjiang. One mountain is connected to another, one mountain after another, and there is no end. Among them, the forests are towering, the roads are sparsely populated, and the miasma is rampant, making it difficult for the army to enter.

Whenever the Central Plains dynasty conquered the barbarians, the barbarians would retreat into the mountains, break up into small groups, and scatter in various places with villages as units, making it impossible for the army to form a decisive battle with them. For this reason, even if the Central Plains army invaded Southern Xinjiang and destroyed countless villages, it still could not really hurt its fundamental vitality. In the end, it had to withdraw from Southern Xinjiang when it was difficult to sustain food and grass support.

In the mountains on the edge of Southern Xinjiang, a person walked alone on a rugged mountain road. This person was wearing a cloak, and his face was covered by the hood that was integrated with the cloak, and only a chin could be seen.

Soon, she came to a mountain lake, stretched out her hand and wiped it, and a portal with twinkling starlight slowly rose in the center of the lake.

The woman took off the hood on her head and revealed her true face. She was surprisingly young, no more than thirty years old.

She walked on the lake, leaving a string of ripples behind her, and walked straight into the portal.

Behind the door is a deep void dotted with countless stars. Countless starlights that seem to be real gather into a road in the void.

On both sides of the road, there are bizarre small worlds, or endless light that illuminates everything, or endless hurricanes that turn everything into dust, or pure flames that burn everything into ashes, or boundless dark worlds where everything returns to nothingness, or ocean worlds that are completely water, or voids where space is disordered like a broken mirror, which is completely unsuitable for survival.

These small caves are very dangerous, so the woman has to move forward carefully to protect herself.

The woman is not someone else, but Yao Xianglian, who was once Wu Xian, the leader of the Ten Witches, and one of the two most trusted great wizards of the Emperor of Heaven.

As for this place, it was once Lingshan, or Lingshan Cave Heaven.

The Ten Witches of Lingshan came from here.

Lingshan Cave Heaven is not in Nanjiang, but this entrance and exit is located in Nanjiang. In the war between the Wu Cult and the Tianshi Cult, most of the portals leading to the Lingshan Cave Heaven were destroyed in the war. Some were destroyed by the Wu Cult members themselves to prevent the Tianshi Cult from entering the Lingshan Cave Heaven, and some were closed by the Tianshi Cult after the war to prevent people from re-entering the Lingshan Cave Heaven.

This surviving portal is a backdoor, not far from the Nether Valley where Wu Xian was sealed. Only the four great witches who sealed Wu Xian knew about it, so it was preserved. However, the Lingshan Cave Heaven is now very dilapidated and even a little distorted, so this passage has become very dangerous.

Soon, Yao Xianglian reached the end, where there was a portal with a faint light.

Yao Xianglian didn't think about it and stepped into it directly.

It seemed that it was just a moment, and it seemed that thousands of years had passed. Yao Xianglian entered a vast world.

What appeared in front of Yao Xianglian was a piece of land torn into pieces. As far as the eye could see, there was no grass growing, gullies were crisscrossed, and only a vast scorched earth was left.

At the end of the sight, there is a dark mountain standing between heaven and earth, covering most of the sky, and the top of the mountain cannot be seen at a glance. Around the high mountain, there are many broken peaks hanging in the air. They are not still, but moving at a very slow speed, as if they are dust visible in the sun.

At the end of the farther horizon, there is a scene of distorted and disordered space. Indistinctly, you can still see many lightnings connecting the sky and the earth, flickering unsteadily. Even if you are very far away, you can still feel the extremely terrifying power.

There is no doubt that this is a fragmented and broken cave heaven on the verge of collapse. It is more riddled than the ghost country cave heaven, but it is larger than the ghost country cave heaven, so it can withstand the scouring and baptism of the long river of time and has not been completely destroyed.

The main reason for all this is a great war.

This war is far better than the already ended Imperial Capital War. Among the participants, there are not only a large number of immortals, but also the existence of two-tribulation earth immortals.

Another point is that the human world has entered the Taiji period, becoming more and more real and stable, so even immortals find it difficult to move mountains and overturn seas. But the cave is different from the human world. Its interior is probably in the Taichu and Taishi periods. It is relatively simple to change the environment. The destruction caused by the battle of immortals is even more terrifying, and the debris of the mountains floating in the air is a clear proof.

If it were placed in the human world, at most it would destroy a Qixia Mountain.

Yao Xianglian stepped on the ground and flew into the air, avoiding the space cracks that crossed the sky, and flew towards the direction of the mountain.

Along the way, it was a scene like a battlefield site, with bones and corpses and broken magic weapons everywhere, gullies and huge pits everywhere, and huge animal bones among them, like a hill.

Yao Xianglian knew that those ancient strange beasts raised by the Witch Sect had strong combat power and could compete with the realm of heaven and man when they became adults, but these ancient strange beasts could not escape the end of being beaten to death, and their corpses and bones were mostly broken.

In addition, there are more human corpses. The differences between the two parties involved can be distinguished from the remaining clothes. One side's clothes are simple, even part of its body is exposed, and it is decorated with various feathers. There is no doubt that these are all A man from the witchcraft. The other party's clothes have already taken the prototype of the Taoist robe, which is the predecessor of Zhengyi Sect.

The resistance in the cave heaven was very small, and Yao Xianglian flew very fast. It took only half an hour to get closer to the mountain. However, the closer it was to this mountain, the more twisted cracks there would be in the space. It seems like a net that makes Yao Xianglian need to constantly change directions and avoid these cracks.

This mountain is the sacred land of the Witch Cult. Yao Xianglian once saw it in his dream, but it was very abstract, like a casual graffiti, far less vivid and concrete than today.

As they got closer, Yao Xianglian found that there was a "moat" surrounding Lingshan, similar to the former Taixu Illusion Realm, but not as domineering as Taixu Illusion Realm.

This so-called "moat" is like a closed circle. Once it is trapped in it, it will continue to repeat the cycle. If you cannot realize that you are in a vicious circle of infinite loops, you will continue to repeat the same thing unconsciously , eventually being completely assimilated and can never be liberated.

However, because the cave sky is already broken, this vicious circle is no longer perfect and has many flaws.

Yao Xianglian came prepared and saw her hands against her fingertips in front of her chest, and the angles of her palms were slightly tilted upward, making a "bridge-by-bridge" action.

This bridge is the bridge of heaven and earth, and it is also the bridge of immortality.

Yao Xianglian used his mighty divine power to condense a golden bridge out of thin air, coming and going, not knowing where to go, not seeing the beginning and end, spanning the "moat".

This is not the magical power of the witch sect, but the authentic Taoist magic. The famous "Taixu Golden Bridge" is more mysterious than the "Yinyang Gate". It has no restrictions and will not be affected by the blood and earth immortals, even if it is not affected by the blood and earth immortals. It can be started freely in the midst of fierce battle.

This method is a unique secret of Taiping Taoism back then, but it has been lost as Taiping Taoism is destroyed. However, Zhang Luxu's ancestors were descendants of Taiping Taoism, but they passed on this method.

Yao Xianglian got this method from Zhang Luxu again.

Yao Xianglian stepped onto the golden bridge, and her whole body turned into a golden light, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The next moment, Yao Xianglian appeared at the other end of the Jinqiao Bridge, crossed the "moat" and came to the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

Then Yao Xianglian's whole body was shocked, her eyes were frozen, and she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

This is a more tragic battlefield, completely transformed into a world of ice and snow, covered with frost, hundreds of ice sculptures appeared in front of her. Below the ice layer were lifelike figures, still maintaining their appearance before her death. .

Yao Xianglian stretched out a finger and gently touched an ice sculpture of a witch sect. He could hear a sound like eating mulberry leaves. The ice sculpture turned into crystal dust in the sky with the wind, and then there was a cold air. The scattered, making Yao Xianglian feel a slight chill.

Yao Xianglian glanced at the remaining Bai Shuang on his fingertips and said softly, "This is... the 'ice true energy' of Xuannv Sect. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be the Xuannv Sect at that time. But Taoist people, similar to disciples of Xuannv Sect, also participated in the battle to attack Lingshan, and their cultivation was extremely high, so... they should belong to the Tianshi Sect at that time. From this, it was inferred that later, Xuannv Sect was established, Zhengyi Sect It should be one of the behind-the-scenes drivers, and gave great help and support to Xuannv Sect. No wonder Xuannv Sect always stood in the camp of Zhengyi Sect later."

Yao Xianglian continued to move forward, left this ice and snow world, and then saw an even more horrifying scene.

Many wizards with only spiritual bodies remained standing expressionlessly on the mountain road leading to the top of the mountain. In addition to their slightly illusory figures, they are no different from living people, with dense crowds, and at least hundreds of people.

These wizards have lost all their minds, just like clay puppets. They seem to have encountered some powerful spell, and their souls have been forcibly pulled out, but their bodies have been destroyed.

Yao Xianglian was also shocked by this, because many of them were her subordinates and were loyal to her.

Yao Xianglian even saw his disciple, a witch with white hair, who was once expected to become a goddess, but she did not expect to die here in battle.
