"The purpose of this storm should not only be plundering, but more like planning in advance. Therefore, this place will eventually fall, and there will be no future in hiding. We need to find a way out." Canglong responded.
"What is plunder? What will happen after the fall?" Yang Di couldn't help but ask.
Canglong didn't want to say it, but the ancient tree of extreme flames rarely revealed some secrets to Yang Di.
It said with some seriousness: "There are some things, in order to continue to survive, or to dream of a new rebirth, they will continue to plunder the blood and essence of the living. If they are occupied, it must be a kind of dark slavery. They will be under the dark clouds.
Raise all living beings in captivity."
Yang Di gasped. This truth is too terrifying. What dark and cruel events happened in the past cultivation civilization? Are all living beings today still living in the shadow of the past?
But obviously, none of this can be solved by him now. Yang Di remained calm. He asked Cang Long, "Where is the way out?"
"This is the bloody demon elephant sacrificed by the blood of the dark dragon. Any creature exposed to the blood cloud in the sky has fallen into the demon elephant. You need to dig three feet into the ground to leave, or take action to break this illusion."
Canglong revealed the root of the problem, and at the same time indirectly admitted that the initiator of this disaster was related to the ancient dragon clan.
Yang Di was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "With my current ability, if I dig a tunnel underground, it will probably be very slow, and I don't know how long it can last."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, the old man Bai on the side quickly said: "Little brother, there is a place that may be a way for us to escape."
Later, the little old man took Yang Di and his grandson to find a nearby canyon. A vast swamp appeared in front of him, with huge mountains and waterfalls rolling down. The scene was very spectacular.
Looking at the vast lake under the blood cloud, Yang Di couldn't help but ask: "Where is the road?"
"There is abundant water here, but there has never been a flood all year round. This is all because there is a long underground river under this lake. The underground river extends in all directions. The longest river may have extended to thousands of miles away.
." Old Man Bai said a little embarrassed.
Obviously, the little old man's so-called way out is a bit speechless.
Yang Di went straight to the black line and complained: "Another underground river?"
When Yang Di mentioned the underground river hidden under the earth, he couldn't help but recall the embarrassing encounter with Ye Shenyu.
At that time, Yang Di and the Queen were almost buried under an ancient tomb, but luckily escaped from an underground river and experienced a period of darkness.
Thinking about it now, the experience of not being able to see life still makes Yang Di palpitate. Although Old Man Bai said that the underground river under the lake can lead to places thousands of miles away, where exactly does it lead and what is the specific route?
The little old man obviously knows nothing. If they choose this path, they may end up in endless hell.
"You brats are afraid of hammers. Things are different now. Are you still afraid of getting lost in the underground river?" As a result, Yang Di's hesitation aroused the contempt of Yi Qilun's ancestors, who actually agreed with Yang Di and the others to take this route.
An unusual way out.
Yang Di spread his hands in embarrassment: "Ancestor, you think highly of me. With my current level of cultivation, if I were trapped under a rock formation thousands of meters deep underground, even if I spent all my energy, I would never be able to break open the shell.
ah!"
"Tch! Who said we should count on you, brat? With that medicine, even if there is a peerless maze under the earth, it can still lead you to find the right path." Yi Qilun cursed.
"Yes." Yang Di suddenly realized that elixirs are naturally close to the spirits of the earth and are familiar with all the fluctuations under the earth.
And the holy medicines are the elves of heaven and earth. They can find the best place to gather spirits in the mountains and rivers, and they are naturally well versed in traveling through various dangerous places.
Immediately, Yang Di stopped thinking about it, took out the Immortal Mansion, and asked Old Man Bai to enter as well, while he jumped out of the lake with the ancient flame tree and dived quickly towards the bottom of the water.
As the ancestors said, today is different from the past. With Yang Di's current ability, it is easy to dive into deep water and not breathe for a long time...
In the world of cultivation, on the top of the Immortal Mountain, the auspicious glow radiating from the Immortal Island in the past few days has been much stronger than usual.
On the other side, the same is true for the Holy Island far away.
More than one breath of terror has awakened from seclusion. All due to the changes in the general environment of the cultivation world, it has exceeded the expectations of the senior officials of the two academies.
On this day, the top leaders of the two academies gathered together again to discuss important matters, considering ending the disciples' god-level training ahead of schedule and starting the path to immortality as soon as possible.
"Is this really what the guardian meant?" Master Yukong and others returned and were very surprised when they learned about this.
Previously, they led a group of people to go on an expedition, carrying fairy treasures and holy soldiers, to the Tianhun Valley to rescue their disciples. Later, in order to support the general in opening the natural barrier of the God's Domain, they were delayed for a while, and now they have just returned.
"Master of the courtyard, the headmaster has asked to see the guardian before. Those seniors have said that the yin and yang of the heaven and earth are rotating, the five elements are shifting, and there are sinister and evil people working in secret. I am afraid that I can't wait any longer." An elder of the celestial academy nodded,
This matter is no small matter, and the people present here are all big figures from both houses.
"That's fine. There have always been people with bad intentions among us. The long-term plans of the two houses may have been known to some treacherous people. If everything continues as planned, we may fall behind." Longyang House.
The Lord nodded slightly. The Lord of the Holy Courtyard did not participate in the trip to the Heavenly Soul Valley, so he knew the current focus of the Fairy Mountain and the Holy Mountain quite well.
"Well, now we can only hope that they are ready." Dean Yukong agreed.
"What should we do with the eight major clans?" Master Shenjian asked.
"This matter is indispensable for their participation. Even if people's hearts are unpredictable, they can only cooperate." Longyang Academy Master said, "After we come down, the two academies will send letters to invite the clan leaders and sect leaders to come over and get together!"
Two days later, over the Holy Mountain, magical artifacts were flying in the sky, and world-famous treasures such as snow-feather boats, red gourds, and ancient chariots were unveiled one after another, attracting attention from all sides.
But compared to those famous magical instruments, what the world pays more attention to is the owner of the magical instruments.
Many giants headed by the heads of the eight major clans appeared one after another and were invited. This was a grand event in the world of cultivation.
At the same time, in addition to the giants of various cultivation circles, some special figures also appeared at this gathering of top beings.
Groups like the Feng family, Ao family, and Jiang family who came from the Dharma Ending World also had core figures present. As representatives of the cultivation forces in the Dharma Ending World, the Taoist Sect was also invited. Xiaoyaozi and deputy sect leader Xu Fengnian both appeared.
Nowadays, although the Taoist sect has encountered a terrible challenge from the Lan organization in the Dharma-ending world, it has still lost its dominant position. Even people like Xiaoyaozi don't know if they can go back, but the influence of the Taoist sect is still not small.
Even because of the Human Emperor Cauldron, the Taoist sect still had a very important say in this event, and was still regarded as the leader of the monks in the Dharma-ending World.
After important figures appeared one after another, the heads of the two chambers announced the decision. As a result, the reactions of all parties were quite calm, which was obviously expected.
Subsequently, an extremely sensitive and unavoidable topic became the focus of the gathering.
The god-level experience is coming to an end, and the path to immortality will soon begin. This news is exciting.
But as we all know, the number of places to go to the Immortal Road is limited, and all parties in the cultivation world have long coveted that place where the legendary destiny is hidden.
In the past, the quota for the Immortal Road was completely determined by the two houses. The various races in the cultivation world could not interfere. At most, they could only try their best to help the tribesmen compete on the platform of the two houses. But this time the situation was different. Before coming, each race had already
own calculations.
The two chambers took the initiative to express their hope to gain support from all ethnic groups, so invisibly, these forces headed by the eight major ethnic groups and the ten major princes had taken the initiative.
As expected, not long after the beginning, someone put forward their own ideas. As the head of the eight major clans, the Lord of the Spiritual Clan was also quite powerful at the moment. He expressed his position in public: "The descendants of our clan have always valued the Immortal Road.
During this trip, it is rare that the two academies have wide open doors. I hope that a few fellow Taoists can provide fifty special places for the Spirit Clan. I am very grateful!"
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the hall. Many people expected that the spirit clan had a big appetite, but they did not expect that the clan leader would be so open-minded.
This person was dressed in fiery red clothes and looked very young. He was shrouded in a bright red light, as if the god of fire was alive.
In fact, this big man is not the highest authority of the Spirit Clan. He is not the Spirit Emperor, but the leader of the Fire Spirit Clan.
In recent years, the Spirit Clan has suffered serious internal divisions. The Fire Spirit Clan has suddenly emerged as a new force, and its influence is gradually approaching that of the royal family.
Now the person representing the Spirit Clan is the Nine Spirit King Yan Huang, which is not surprising. There must be some overt and covert fighting within the Spirit Clan.
Everyone knows that Nine Spirit King Yan Huang has always been strong and arrogant, and his name makes people very uncomfortable. However, Nine Spirit King's power is also ranked among the highest in the world of cultivation, so many people are somewhat afraid of him.
However, such a deterrent effect obviously cannot affect such transcendent existences as the two houses of Congress.
In response to the Fire Spirit King's request, Master Longyang shook his head and said: "A large part of the quota for the Immortal Road will still be in the hands of these disciples carefully trained by the two academies. We are prepared to provide additional ones to you, the total number is one
Hundred!"
Hearing this, the faces of all the dignitaries present slightly condensed. They were surprised by the attitudes of the two houses. Although they seemed to be in a dominant position, they obviously had not yet reached the point where the two houses were intimidated.
Each party has its own wishful thinking, but the two houses are also firm in their stance. Their compromises are very limited, and the bottom line has been drawn from the beginning.
As a result, the fifty quotas advocated by the Spiritual Clan are a bit excessive. They want to take half of the one hundred quotas. Even if the two houses agree, the other major lineages will not agree.
