Chapter 144 Southern Wilderness Fire, Wilderness Lonely City
The Southern Wilderness Land is known as the barbaric land. It is a vast territory, with hundreds of thousands of mountains, endless forests, rivers and lakes, which breed countless birds and beasts, thousands of spirits and strange creatures, and countless treasures of heaven and earth.
Even the Five Elements Creation Tree is a strange treasure tree originating from the Southern Wilderness.
"There are currently about 104 known types of divine fire in the Southern Wilderness...most of them are controlled by powerful tribes in the Southern Wilderness."
"Among them, Dayan Kingdom has the largest share, with a total of twenty-nine divine fires."
"I heard that King Yan was defeated, and with the remaining forces under his command, he withdrew from Zhongzhou, entered the Southern Wilderness, swept across all directions, forcibly subdued more than a thousand tribes, large and small, established a new kingdom in the Southern Wilderness, and occupied thousands of miles of land!"
"There are more than ten volcanoes in this land of thousands of miles, and seven of them gave birth to the earthly evil fire."
"And the cultivation techniques of the Great Yan Kingdom are closely related to flames. It is said that in the hands of the powerful human beings and immortals of the Great Yan Kingdom, there is basically a divine fire, which is either collected with treasures or refined by oneself...
"
"I heard that before King Yan was alive, he could refine three divine fires in his body. He also had three magic weapons in his hands, each containing a divine fire. He had six divine fires in his body, and his power was unparalleled."
"By the way, in addition to this, there are also exotic birds and animals from the Southern Wilderness, which are gifted with magical powers and possess fire..."
Guigu Lingguan's gaze turned to fall on the wall-hanging bird, and then he shook his head and said: "The bloodline of the White Luan Divine Bird also has divine fire, but it is still young and cannot be used for much purpose!"
When the wall-hanging bird heard this, he was quite angry, but he couldn't find a reason to refute, so he turned around and beat Hao Jian.
Li Zhengjing pondered for a long time, and thought to himself: "The grandfather of the wall-hanging bird, Venerable Baixiao, is the Bailuan divine bird that has grown up. The flame must also be a divine fire, but... the magical flame in the human immortal realm is not enough to refine.
Transformation of Heaven, Xuantai, and Yuanjin.”
This is an object from the heaven, an immortal gold divine object, a magical sword belonging to a true immortal. How can it be dissolved so easily?
Not to mention the human Bailuan divine bird, even the legendary divine bird comparable to a true immortal may not be able to easily refine Tianxuan Taibai Yuanjin with immortal fire.
Otherwise, if this sword is sacrificed, a burst of flame will burn the sword body. Wouldn't it be ridiculous?
It is extremely difficult to find the divine fire that refines Tianxuan Taibai Yuanjin in the human world!
However, it is naturally impossible to refine Tianxuan Taibai Yuanjin with just one divine fire, but in Taiyi Sword Refining Technique, there is a way to combine multiple divine fires to enhance the power.
"Rather than searching for divine fires everywhere in the Southern Wilderness, picking one here and one there, it is easier to go to the Great Yan Kingdom, which has multiple divine fires. Anyway, everyone has dealt with them and is considered an acquaintance."
Li Zhengjing was suddenly startled when he thought about it, and asked: "What day is it today?"
He looked at the sky. When he left Hongshan Town and came to Yanguan Mountain, he met his predecessor, Jiang Shang Fu Zun, and used this to reach a deal with Dayan Kingdom.
Replace Venerable Baixiao with the body of the Goddess of the Southern Region.
The former Lord Jiang Shang mentioned that in the Great Yan Kingdom, an older generation of immortals was about to die and was in urgent need of a divine body to start a second life for him.
It stands to reason that the Great Yan Kingdom is more anxious than our own side, so why is it too late now?
"Hang on the wall, can you sense traces of your grandfather's bloodline?"
"No..." The wall-hanging bird shook his head and said: "There is no similar flame bloodline perception."
"Dayan Kingdom dares to break the contract?" Li Zhengjing said angrily: "The King of Yan made a deal with us and used Venerable Baixiao in exchange for the divine body, but now he dares to play tricks on us, it is simply abominable!"
"Fight the Great Yan Kingdom!" The Five Elements Creation Tree waved its branches and shouted: "Seize the fire of the gods!"
"Nonsense!" Li Zhengjing showed dissatisfaction and said, "We want to seek justice!"
"The master is right!" The wall-hanging bird waved its wings and said loudly: "They imprisoned my grandfather, this is the first crime! They attacked the master in the southeast sea, this is the second crime! Now the transaction is broken, this is the third crime!"
"Counting all the crimes, we can't beat him to death!" Hao Jian's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
"The people present are all our own people. It's not like the Zhou Dynasty is calling for an army to march south. There is no need to boost morale like this." Yuan Zhengfeng said helplessly: "Let's get going!"
"Although the King of Flame died and became the King of Flame God, the Great Yan Kingdom has now conquered all the forces in the Southern Wilderness and has a lot of background." Guigu Lingguan said: "We still can't underestimate it."
"Uncle makes sense." The wall-hanging bird applauded, and then said: "But we are not even afraid of the Zhou Dynasty that rules Zhongzhou, so why are we afraid of such a small and remote country?"
"The Great Yan Kingdom failed in its bid to become the hegemon of Zhongzhou. It retreated to the Southern Wilderness and lost all its troops. However, after all, it still spent nearly a thousand years recuperating and gaining strength with the help of the various tribes in the Southern Wilderness..." Li Zhengjing said aloud: "After all, it is also the leader of a country.
You really need to be more careful."
Throughout the ages, according to records in the classics, there has been one person who could defeat an entire country with one man, and the only one is the Qian Huan Shenjun.
Eight hundred years ago, the creditor attacked the capital alone and defeated Emperor Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty, who had the power of a country, shocking the world!
But today's Li Zhengjing obviously does not have such combat power.
"Let's go, keep going south!"
The group continued southbound.
And they were not idle either, practicing individually.
Li Zhengjing began to practice the method of the first generation Tianzun of the Golden Ship.
He possesses the Heavenly Immortal Technique of Feathering and Riding a Dragon, and can control the true energy outside his body to the smallest detail. Therefore, when he practices the Xuantian Shensuo, there are not many obstacles. He can easily enter the hall and enter the house, and he can control it as skillfully as his arms.
On the other hand, stepping on the clouds and reaching the sky is a bit difficult and obscure, and my understanding is a little slow.
The body technique that Li Zhengjing learned before was the Qingfeng Shadow Body Technique that he received from the Yuhuaxian Sect's Official Hall. Although it was good, it seemed too superficial for the human-immortal level.
Nowadays, there is the Step to the Clouds, which just makes up for this shortcoming.
In addition, there is also a Taoist technique of the elder immortal, the Golden Boat, which can restrain one's own breath and reduce the connection with the world from the moment of breathing, thereby extending life.
This time in Yanguan Mountain Cave Heaven, it was a fruitful experience. Each member of the serious group chose a suitable method to practice.
Among them, the most suitable one is none other than the Five Elements Creation Tree. It has grown five complete branches and has thousands of roots. The art of carrying the Xuantian Divine Cord is the real arm-like command...
…
Because every magic whip extends from every root or branch of it, and is extremely flexible.
We walked this way to the south for several days.
They traveled over mountains and ridges, crossed rivers and streams, and encountered strange birds and beasts, poisonous insects, and ants, including some of the great demons. However, without exception, when they encountered them, they all shivered and avoided them for fear of being caught.
"This area is relatively close to Zhongzhou, and there are often practitioners from Zhongzhou who enter the Southern Wilderness to look for opportunities or gain experience..."
Yuan Zhengfeng said with a smile: "I have been here many times when I was young, so the area we passed through these two days is relatively safe."
"Because Zhongzhou practitioners come and go in this area, the threatening ones have been killed, and other big monsters and monsters, as long as they have some wisdom, have also moved away..."
"As for the demons and immortals, they don't dare to stay here. After all, there are people coming and going, and it is quite noisy. If one day we meet a powerful existence, and for no reason or a bad mood, we can only kill it.
Go to the underworld and cry out for injustice."
"Speaking of this, there is an interesting thing. Originally, there was a towering tree growing in this area. It opened spiritual wisdom and perfected itself. Finally, after six hundred years of lightning strikes, it became a tree of the demonic and immortal level.
god……"
Yuan Zhengfeng said: "Later, I don't know which powerful person in Zhongzhou simply beheaded it in order to use it to refine treasures... It is really unreasonable..."
"I did it."
Guigu Lingguan looked strange.
"..."
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and then Yuan Zhengfeng laughed and said: "It seems that this demon fairy must have done many evil things."
Guigu Lingguan said: "That's not the case. It has been here for many years without being killed, and it has also done a lot of good deeds. Therefore, practitioners who come and go in Zhongzhou often seek its protection... The good things it has done are not so great.
Young Master, actually I did a lot of evil in those days..."
Yuan Zhengfeng remained silent, as there was really nothing to talk about.
Li Zhengjing was a little surprised and said, "Senior, why did you cut down this tree for no reason?"
Guigu Lingguan sighed and said: "At that time, I was young and energetic, and there were many fish and dragons in the golden ship. In fact, I was not a good person. I killed people everywhere, including dragons, turtles, eagles, and gods.
The Divine Ear... finally wanted to gather all these things into itself, but it still lacked a vitality, so it came to grab this lightning-struck tree."
He spread his paws and said: "This tree god has cultivated a natal magic weapon, and now it has become my heart... Probably due to its influence, I have felt deeply guilty over the past few years and do not want to kill anymore.
I have saved a lot of people, so I can atone for my sins."
"This seems to be a tree as kind as me." The Five Elements Creation Tree sighed: "Senior Guigu got its natal magic weapon and changed its heart, so was it influenced by its kind heart?"
"It seems so." The wall-hanging bird said: "Since you are so kind, I hope you will use your kind heart to influence a big devil in the future!"
"I'm afraid this is not enough." The Five Elements Fortune Tree mocked: "I have to ask you to help others raise seven nests of bird chicks. Only such a kind act can influence others..."
"Master Bird will fight with you!"
Another fierce battle broke out, and the birds and trees were equally divided, but they still couldn't help the anger in their hearts, so they joined forces to beat Hao Jian.
Guigu Lingguan seemed to remember the past and sighed: "Further forward, there is a tribe, and they often deal with Zhongzhou practitioners..."
Because there are not a few Zhongzhou cultivators who come to the Southern Wilderness for training, there will inevitably be conflicts at the beginning, with heavy casualties. Some Zhongzhou cultivators were killed, and some tribes were massacred.
But in the end, the exterminated tribes were wiped out, and the remaining tribes accepted the status quo and began to trade with people in Zhongzhou.
After all, this is the edge of the Southern Wilderness, and there is no backing behind it. Basically, small tribes depend on each other, just like ordinary rural villages.
Continuing forward, the scene they saw was very different from what Li Zhengjing and others expected.
In the minds of people in Zhongzhou, the Southern Wilderness tribes are naturally extremely primitive. They should be made of sharpened wood tied into fences, living in thatched wooden houses, or hiding in caves.
These people should be wearing animal skins, with gnarled muscles and dark skin, holding spears, drinking blood from their hair, and are rough and fierce.
But what I saw before me was a city!
There were soldiers patrolling the surrounding area, and there was a lot of people inside!
Is this a prosperous small city standing in the wilderness?
"The original tribes in the Southern Wilderness were indeed people who drank blood and wore animal skins... Of course, today in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, most tribes are still so barbaric and primitive."
Guigu Lingguan said: "However, it is close to Zhongzhou, so it is a little different. I heard that more than two thousand years ago, after the fall of the Daxuan Dynasty, wars raged everywhere... There were tribes in the Southern Wilderness who entered Zhongzhou to plunder, and also took away many things.
The small population of Zhongzhou has affected the tribe’s way of survival in the Southern Wilderness.”
Yuan Zhengfeng said: "There used to be many cultivators who, after entering the Southern Wilderness, had good intentions and taught and enlightened them. Of course... among them, except for those with higher cultivation levels, their fate was not very good.
.”
Guigu Lingguan laughed and said: "Actually, the one with the greatest influence is still the Great Yan Kingdom!"
When King Yan was defeated, he led the remaining forces into the Southern Wilderness, surrendered all tribes, and ruled... After all, King Yan was born in Zhongzhou, so he also brought more culture belonging to Zhongzhou, such as architecture, clothing, food, etiquette, etc.
etc.
Although King Yan is not enough to influence the entire Southern Wilderness, at least within the territory of Dayan Kingdom, after thousands of years of changes, it is now similar to Zhongzhou.
And this tribe was close to Zhongzhou and Dayan Kingdom, so they also built a city.
Everyone moved forward, and the patrolling soldiers looked at this group of people in surprise. But after all, we were in the Southern Wilderness. We had seen many strange birds and animals, people and things, and they didn't make a fuss.
Instead, they stopped them at the city gate.
"There is no cashier fee for entering the city."
The soldiers guarding the city had muscles and muscles knotted together, and there was a faint inner energy flowing around them. They said these words in an extremely stiff voice.
"The accent of Nanhuang..." The Five Elements Creation Tree sighed: "It's so kind..."
"Turn over! Turn over!" Broken Wave Gu poked its head out, shook its tentacles, and made such a sound.
"Let's enter the city!"
This group of people entered the city.
The soldiers guarding the city just now looked thoughtful.
He seemed to have seen the Gu insect just now.
That seems to be an extremely rare God King Gu?
But the God King Gu doesn't seem to have such big fangs. Could it be some kind of new variant?
With a slight movement in his heart, he took a piece of yellowed rough paper, used charcoal as a pen, and drew the appearance of the suspected God King Gu.
And this piece of paper was passed into the city, and after half an hour, it fell into the hands of an old man.
"The only remaining God King Gu in the Southern Wilderness has not changed yet. Only this year...
Poison eggs."
The old man looked complicated and said, "These people are also coming from the direction of Zhongzhou?"
He thought thoughtfully and said: "God King Gu is a treasure of the Southern Wilderness, and it should not be left in Zhongzhou... Before the Gu God woke up, he wanted to go to Zhongzhou to retrieve the God King Gu, but because of the arrival of the sky star, he went to the mainland instead.
Fog Canyon, I still haven’t returned.”
He thought about it, and since he met him now, he simply took back the God King Gu and waited for the Gu God to return, just in time to please the Gu God.
