Chapter 221: Cage
Chapter 221: Cage
Outside Lianshan City, in the direction leading to Lingxiang Territory.
After Jiang Yan walked out of the city gate, he turned into a ray of light and rushed straight into the sky, quickly rushing into the strong wind layer.
"The so-called Nine Realms of Xuanqing Continent are nine different places. Four of them have no contact with the outside world. Most of them are dangerous or rarely visited within a thousand miles. Generally, no cultivators will approach them."
"There are four other regions where human beings gather and flourish. But the Nether Dust Region is the only exception~"
"In my impression, it seems that it has always been a forbidden area. It's not that anyone is prohibited from entering. On the contrary, every year many wild cultivators go in with the idea of walking in. After all, there are examples of people who soar to the sky after coming out~"
"According to my master, the Nether Dust Realm is filled with all kinds of filthy air that one can imagine. Anyone with a pure heart who stays there for too long will be polluted. It would be relatively easy for them to stop making progress in their cultivation. In serious cases, their heart will collapse and they will become possessed. And this is just the outermost part."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan took out a piece of unknown animal skin, which was covered with densely packed strange words.
He could understand the words above because he had specially learned various ancient secret texts before.
He bought this unknown animal skin by chance a few years ago from a cultivator who set up a stall at the Ancient Immortal Gate. He was attracted by the words on it at first sight.
The above describes in detail how the Nether Dust Realm was born and why it became the forbidden area it is today.
The Netherworld is an ancient battlefield and also a battlefield for immortals!
This Netherworld was created by their own efforts, and the foul air now was entirely due to the immortal's unwillingness before his death, which turned into this overwhelming resentment.
Anger, sadness, resentment, fear, pain, despair and other negative emotions intertwined, permeating every inch of the Nether Dust Realm, making it a forbidden place for all cultivators.
Jiang Yan was somewhat skeptical about this, but he then secretly inquired from many parties, with the help of the big data cloud mirror (which steals users' private information in the background) and consulting the ancient immortal scriptures, he finally confirmed it!
This news is true!
Since it is a battlefield of immortals, there must be corpses of immortals there!
So Jiang Yan set off without hesitation!
…………
"Youchen Realm, Youchen Realm, let me see how far we are. Don't get lost again~"
Jiang Yan was in a good mood and took out the map to look at it.
The Youchen Realm is behind the Lingxiang Realm. After passing the Lingxiang Realm and walking about two thousand miles, you will reach the border of the Youchen Realm.
And he has just entered the spiritual realm.
Thanks to the power of Yunjing Authority Dog, Jiang Yan can clearly see the general map of the surrounding area even without leaving home.
"Not bad, not bad, the map is very clear~ In this way, I only need to travel in the strong wind layer for ten days without eating, drinking or resting, and I can reach the border~ What the hell! How can the Lingxiang area be so big!!"
"leave!"
Jiang Yan was feeling a little depressed.
When he came out, he was completely clean, with nothing left but the clothes on his body. He didn't even have a magic weapon, let alone a flying boat.
It would be fine for his mortal body to cross the strong wind layer for a day, but if he continues to cross it for more than ten days, he will probably be left with only a skeleton.
"Then ~ fly in the strong wind for half a day, and hide in the ground for half a day"
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yan dived into the ground and began to sneak.
………………
Dongliao region, inside the ancient immortal gate.
At this moment, the Ancient Immortal Sect is operating as normal, and the overall sad tone has faded. Although some people are still immersed in sadness, life must go on, right?
That is... the worshippers at the Black and White Villa are more diligent, and until now most of them still wear white silk on their heads.
Now, Xiaojue Peak has been completely sealed off and has become a "historical" building in school textbooks.
No one can enter or exit, and it has become a historical relic.
Inside, Shen Ming was lying on the peach tree where Jiang Yan used to sleep, holding a cloud mirror in his hand.
With a sick expression, he watched the light dot representing Jiang Yan move. The destination of his movement was a cage. In the direction slightly away from the cage, three big characters were written: Nether Dust Domain~
"Master, go quickly! Hurry up! Shen Ming can't wait any longer! He has been preparing for Master for five years!"
"I really want to see where Master went through so much trouble to get there, but ended up falling into Shen Ming's trap~ I wonder if you would be scared at that time~"
"Don't blame Shen Ming. It was Master who wanted to leave Shen Ming from the beginning~"
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too proud, too arrogant, and too self-righteous! Why do you think that Shen Ming's talent can only do that? Why do you think that everyone can be kept in the dark by you?"
"What you thought was the Netherworld? It was actually just a cage that Shen Ming had woven for you! You thought you had fooled everyone? It was actually just your wishful thinking! You thought you understood all of Shen Ming's thoughts? It was actually just what Shen Ming had let you know!!"
"Your tolerance, your compassion, your generosity, all stem from your inherent arrogance. Perhaps even you, Master, don't realize that you have never taken anyone or anything in this world seriously. You think you are above the world, you think you are free and unrestrained. You think you are not bound by rules. In fact, you have never taken the world seriously!"
"As an outsider, you naturally won't face all this. But... Shen Ming wants to pull you in! Smash all your arrogance and pride!! Harshly! Unscrupulously! Make it impossible for you to resist!!"
"Finally, I will be together with Shen Ming forever~ My Master!! Hurry up~"
Rumble~
The formation of Xiaojue Peak caused a slight ripple~
It's just that no one will pay attention to this place at this moment. Similarly, no one will pay attention to this place~
So, five days later...
In a prosperous human city somewhere, Jiang Yan was lying by the window on the second floor of a restaurant, happily drinking exotic wine.
"Ah~ It feels so good~ Traveling is really tiring, but I'm not in a hurry. I've come this far over the years, so I can make one more day~"
Jiang Yan comforted himself. Of course, he didn't have such an idea. It was just that when he was escaping underground, he suddenly had a whim and thought to himself that this place was destined for him, so he stopped to rest for a while.
"Emm, I don't know why, the closer I get to the Nether Dust Realm, the more my spiritual sense beats, as if something big is about to happen to me? I don't understand~"
"Maybe~ it's because I'm about to leave this world, so the heavens are feeling it~"
"If you ask me, why would God bother me for no reason? I can just apply for a visa and go home. If you stop me for no reason, then you are just bored~"
Jiang Yan whispered in his heart, and then drank a sip of wine happily~
"Hmm~ The wine from Lingxiang has a unique flavor~"
