After hearing what the other party said, Lin Zhen's heart suddenly sank.

In this so-called fairyland, there are countless cultivation geniuses. Everyone who has been rejected by heaven and earth and comes here is not an ordinary person.

And the people here can even be called the elite among the elite.

But even for people like them, no one has been able to successfully leave here in thousands of years.

Could it be said that this is really a prison from which one can never escape?

Lin Zhen frowned, thinking, while surrounded by these four people, walked towards the depths.

After walking for a while, Lin Zhen saw a huge porch right in front of him.

The two stone pillars supporting the porch are as thick as seven or eight people holding each other's arms, and they appear vaguely in the clouds and mist.

The height of the porch is estimated to be about twenty meters, and three powerful characters are carved on it: Lingyun City.

Seeing Lin Zhen's eyes falling on the porch, the leading man who was talking suddenly introduced: "This Lingyun City is the name of our place. If you have the ambition of Lingyun, you dare to climb Wanren Mountain."

Lin Zhen nodded incomprehensibly. The name Lingyun City sounded very suitable for the atmosphere here. Everyone had the ambition of Lingyun City that was unwilling to admit defeat. Even if they were trapped here, they would never give in to fate.

At this time, Lin Zhen suddenly thought that he had not asked the other party's name, so he immediately said: "Seniors, have you not asked your names?"

The leading man took the lead and said: "No need to ask, we are just a few gatekeepers. Once we enter the city, we may not see each other again for thousands of years."

The other three didn't say anything more and remained silent.

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would answer like this. It was really a hot face against a cold butt.

Silently all the way, the five people passed through the huge doorway engraved with the three characters Lingyun City, stepped on the clouds and mist, and continued walking towards the depths of this world.

What he saw along the way once again subverted Lin Zhen's understanding.

This place truly deserves to be called a fairyland. What you step on looks like clouds and mist, but in fact it is made of hard texture.

Lin Zhen tried to move his true energy under his feet to see if he could step through the clouds and mist under his feet, but there was no reaction.

His move caused the leader to sneer: "Oh, don't try. If we could, why would we bother to practice? We would have left this ghost place long ago."

Except for the exceptionally hard clouds under his feet, almost everything here was something Lin Zhen had never heard of before, including the various buildings suspended above the small clouds.

Looking around, you can't see the edge here at all, and you don't know how vast this so-called Lingyun City is.

After walking for about half an hour, the five people stopped in front of a magnificent palace.

"This is the training room. Excluding us four gatekeepers, there are a total of 1,374 practitioners in Lingyun City. Now including you, there are exactly 1,375."

"Every day, everyone has three hours to enter the training room to practice. In the training room, there is a spirit gathering array set up by the city lord, which can gather the spiritual energy here, making the practice more effective with half the effort."

"Also, don't wander around if you have nothing to do. With your current strength, you shouldn't need to eat or rest. If you are really bored, you can just find a cloud and build a house on it. As for building materials, you can go to the Zazai in the north.

At the Monument Hall, ask the administrator for some tree seeds, just find an unoccupied cloud and throw it down, then use magic to ripen it." The man explained casually.

"Oh, by the way, if you use the ripening technique here, the effect can be amplified dozens of times, and it can grow into a towering tree in a few hours, so you can plant as much as you can. If you don't use it all, you have to plant it.

Shovel it out by the roots, don’t cause trouble to everyone..."

"What trouble are you causing?" Lin Zhen asked.

The reason why he had this question was entirely out of curiosity.

After all, even if a tree grows too big, it won't be over until it is plowed down later.

The man sighed and said helplessly: "About a thousand years ago, a boy planted three trees and then forgot about it."

"The people in Lingyun City were all practicing hard, and no one paid attention. More than half a month passed like this. It can be seen that this ripening technique has taken effect and can make trees grow dozens of times faster. Those three trees have grown directly.

He reached the sky in one step and became a tree demon..."

After hearing this, Lin Zhen roughly understood the origin of this trouble.

However, based on the strength of Lingyun City's strong men, there are only three tree demons, which is probably just enough to warm them up.

Lin Zhen was curious, and immediately asked: "There are just three tree demons. If you just find someone here, can't you kill them?"

Unexpectedly, the man rolled his eyes at Lin Zhen, as if he was looking at an idiot, and then coldly snorted: "Humph! Just find someone to solve it?"

"I just said that the ripening technique can make trees grow dozens of times faster. After the tree becomes a tree demon, do you think it is no longer a tree?"

Lin Zhen was shocked when he heard the man's words.

He immediately understood why the man would say this was a problem.

Three tree demons that can grow at dozens of times faster. If we give them time, to what extent can they grow?

"Then how was this matter resolved in the end? Everyone worked together to kill the three tree demons?" Lin Zhen was very curious about this matter. Looking at the current situation in Lingyun City, he thought that the three tree demons did not cause trouble at that time.

What a storm.

Lin Zhen estimated that the tree demon must have made a lot of noise, so it attracted the attention of a large number of cultivators, and was thus dealt with.

However, the man's subsequent answer was beyond Lin Zhen's expectations.

"Those three tree demons, because they grew up too fast, have no intelligence but no thoughts, and they completely rely on instinct to act."

Having said this, the man looked at Lin Zhen and suddenly gave up.

"Boy, do you know what the instinct of this tree is?"

Lin Zhen frowned slightly, his mind was racing, and he immediately answered: "Expand the roots and absorb nutrients?"

"Yes, that's it." The man nodded.

"When we discovered it, these three tree demons seemed to have the climate of demon kings. Perhaps it was the special nature of this place. Their roots penetrated deep into the clouds and absorbed a large amount of spiritual power. It can be said that they were demon spirits.

soaring."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

But soon, Lin Zhen felt that it was not a big deal.

In Lin Zhen's understanding, the so-called demon king should be the level of strength that the nine-tailed demon fox was at when he met the nine-tailed demon fox in Japan.

With that kind of strength, any cultivator with average strength here can still be easily suppressed.

But as soon as he thought about this, Lin Zhen understood that the so-called demon king in the man's mouth was definitely not on the same level as the demon king he understood.

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to take this matter so seriously.

These thoughts flashed through Lin Zhen's mind in an instant.

At this moment, the man continued to narrate: "There were about a hundred of us who were not practicing at that time. We sensed the strong demonic energy and knew that the situation was not good. We immediately went to try to eradicate the three tree demons."

"But it wasn't until the fight started that we discovered that our moves had very little effect on them, or even could be ignored."

"Only now do we understand that these three tree demons have absorbed the spiritual power of this place and are no longer just demons..."

"In the end, we had no choice but to ask the city lord to come out and resolve the matter..."

At this point, the man did not tell the details of the process. Instead, he looked into Lin Zhen's eyes and said in a very serious tone: "So, if you want to plant a tree, you must remember to uproot it. It's best to use the remaining

The waste was also burned!"

The man's attitude made Lin Zhen realize the seriousness of the matter. Lin Zhen nodded silently and said that he remembered it.

However, this incident aroused Lin Zhen's strong curiosity.

What is the level of cultivation of the city lord of Lingyun City, and what kind of mysterious and terrifying strength he has.

Why can he solve the tree demon that everyone can't solve together?

Lin Zhen did not intend to hide this question in his heart, and immediately asked the man: "I wonder how the strength of Lord Lingyun compares to you and me?"

The man sneered: "Haha, you and me?"

The next four words he spoke made Lin Zhen's curiosity reach its peak.

"The difference between cloud and mud!"

"Okay, I've told you what needs to be said, and then you can practice on your own in Lingyun City."

"People here are thinking about cultivation and seldom communicate with each other. You may feel lonely at first, but you will get used to it. After all, before coming to this ghost place, everyone often practiced alone in seclusion..."

"Then we'll see you later." The man suddenly fisted Lin Zhen in a formal manner.

The other three people also cupped their fists and saluted Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen was startled for a moment, and although he was a little confused, he responded with a decent clasped fist.

In this way, even if the farewell was completed, the four of them immediately turned around and left quickly towards the way they came.

It seems that when they came here before, these four people should have deliberately traveled at a constant speed in order to familiarize themselves with the nearby terrain.

"The difference between cloud and mud..." Lin Zhen said to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Who is this Lingyun City Lord...

If his strength reaches his level, can't he escape from this place?

If this is really the case, then why are these people in Lingyun City still practicing so hard? Is their goal to surpass the Lord of Lingyun City and then leave here?

If this is really the case, then this Lingyun City really deserves its reputation. Everyone in it has the absolute ambition of Lingyun.
