Chapter 83: Adventure on the Mountain of No Return
Yuwen Zhouyuan stopped after hearing the discussion, squeezed forward and saw a mission notice posted on the wall of the archway.
"Expedition to the Lingshi Mine in Mount No Return!" Several big characters caught Yuwen Zhouyuan's eyes.
Yuwen Zhouyuan took out the soul bead, sensed it, and found that Jiang Gaosheng and his son were indeed in the city, so he sent a message to them.
After a moment, Jiang Gaosheng and his son appeared in Yu Wen Zhouyuan's field of vision. They stepped forward to greet Yu Wen Zhouyuan, and Yu Wen Zhouyuan pointed at the notice.
Jiang Gaosheng immediately explained with interest:
It turns out that there is a large mountain about a thousand miles away from the Monk City called No Return Mountain. Why this mountain is called No Return Mountain is unknown. It is said that the No Return Mountain has a radius of 100,000 miles and is the border between the Dongyang Empire and the Sun Never Sets Empire.
place.
It is said that a very high-grade spirit stone vein emerged from the Mountain of No Return ten thousand years ago. He was the elder of the "Crane Dance Sect", a small sect on the border of the Dongyang Empire, and came to the Mountain of No Return by chance while traveling.
, while chasing monsters on the mountain, I found a small piece of exposed spiritual stone. I dug all the way excitedly, and found out that it was a large spiritual stone vein, enough to support a large sect of cultivating immortals for tens of thousands of years.
The elders of the Crane Dance Sect immediately sent this precious information back to the sect. Unexpectedly, a traitor appeared and took this information to defect to the neighboring Great Immortal Cultivation Sect in the Sun Never Sets Empire.
A small sect can never compete with a large sect. Seeing that the information had been stolen, the Hewu Sect, in anger, announced the news of this mine to the cultivation world of the Dongyang Empire, so that the big man in the empire would not let the sun never set.
The sect is exclusive.
The various sects of the Dongyang Empire received the information one after another and immediately led a large number of disciples of the Zhenqi stage and Zhenyuan stage to massacre to the Mountain of No Return.
Such a large spiritual mine is related to the rise and fall of a cultivating sect, but no one is willing to give in.
In order to compete for the ownership of the spiritual mine, the first several immortal cultivating sects to arrive fought with the major cultivating sect of the Empire of That Sun Never Sets, resulting in heavy casualties.
However, as dozens of disciples from large and small sects swarmed in, the Immortal Cultivator Sect in the Sun Never Sets Empire gave up. They quickly spread the news within the Sun Never Sets Empire, saying that they had discovered a mineral vein and that the Dongyang Empire’s cultivation world had robbed it.
, causing their sect to suffer heavy losses.
As soon as this news spread in the Sun Never Sets Empire, the cultivating sects of the Sun Never Set Empire quickly gathered at Mount No Return, and soon they started a fierce battle with the cultivators of the Dongyang Empire. Later they discovered that whether it was the Dongyang Empire or the
No sect in the Empire where the sun never sets can monopolize such a huge vein of spiritual stone.
So the cultivation circles of the two countries formed alliances, and commanded the two empires they controlled to start a war in the mortal world. In the final analysis, it was for this spirit stone mine.
The war has been going on intermittently for nearly ten thousand years, but it has never been determined which side the spirit stone vein belongs to.
More than 8,000 years ago, under the auspices of the true-self-level immortal cultivating ancestors of both sides, the immortal cultivating sects of the two countries had to compromise and calmed down the fight. It was decided that the immortal cultivating sects of both sides would "set aside disputes and jointly develop" and join forces here.
Excavate spiritual stones.
But the matter is not over yet. Although they decided to join forces for mining, there are serious differences in the number of mine channels that the two parties should be allocated. Some sects under the alliance of both parties advocate dividing the number of mine channels according to strength, while others advocate that the number of mine channels should be divided on a first-come, first-served basis.
to divide the mine tunnels.
For a while, no one could convince the other. In the end, they couldn't reach an agreement, so all the sects in the alliance of both parties joined together and sent their disciples to dig holes everywhere and dig wildly at No Return Mountain. Whoever dug up the spiritual stone would belong to that sect.
.How much you can dig depends on your ability.
Once the mine tunnel between the two sects was accidentally opened, in order to snatch the spiritual stones, miners from both sides inevitably broke out into a bloody fight in the dark underground mine tunnel. The top leaders of the two alliances also turned a blind eye and ignored the mine.
The fight within the channel.
This chaotic and endless mining continued for hundreds of years.
While the various sects of the Dongyang Empire and the Sun Never Set Empire were frantically digging mine tunnels and snatching spiritual stones, they did not notice that the Mountain of No Return monster was not easy to mess with.
Numerous mine tunnels were densely packed, and the deeper they dug, the deeper they dug, and they accidentally dug into the underground of the Mountain of No Return—the lair of a large group of monsters.
Overnight, the hordes of demonic beasts that had invaded their lair were furious, ravaged all the mines, and launched crazy attacks on the low-level Zhenqi stage disciples in the mines. Dozens of small and large sects in the alliance between the two countries had more than 10 disciples killed or injured.
Tens of thousands of people, almost the most tragic loss suffered by the major cultivating sects since they arrived at the Mountain of No Return.
The various sects have been scheming among themselves and are not in harmony with each other. They are suddenly attacked by monsters in large numbers and cannot resist them at all. They only focus on preserving their own strength and blame other sects for not trying their best to resist the monsters.
In just a few months, the Mountain of No Return was occupied by monsters.
The major sects of the two countries suffered heavy losses and had no fighting spirit, so they were forced to reluctantly abandon the Mountain of No Return. This mine, which contains a huge amount of spiritual stones, has been silent for six thousand years.
However, the grievances between the two countries did not weaken because the mineral veins of the Mountain of No Return were occupied by monsters. Instead, the two sides blamed each other and started a war again. This war has continued intermittently until now.
Thousands of years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and the bloody monster craze in the Mountain of No Return has been almost forgotten by the major sects of the Dongyang Empire and the Sun Never Sets Empire.
Now, the cultivation alliances of the two countries are having a headache due to the increasing shortage of spiritual stone veins. Under this situation, this large spiritual stone vein that was forced to close due to the craze of monsters thousands of years ago is once again being used by the top leaders of both cultivation alliances.
Remember.
As long as this large-scale mineral vein is reopened, the spiritual stone crisis of the various sects on both sides for thousands of years can be solved at least. As for what will happen after thousands of years, that is something that future generations need to consider.
After the top executives of the Dongyang Empire's Cultivation Alliance accidentally came up with this idea, they immediately became enthusiastic.
However, the Sun Never Sets Empire Cultivation Alliance came up with this matter. It seems that people's IQs are basically the same.
This time the two sides were just seeking spiritual stones, so the top leaders of the alliance met secretly for a negotiation. This is also the reason why there has been no large-scale war between the two countries in the past few years.
After secret discussions between the two parties, they hit it off immediately, and the top leaders of the two major immortal cultivation alliances unanimously agreed to return to the Mountain of No Return, completely eliminate the monsters in the mines, and reopen the Mountain of No Return Mines.
So both sides set strict limits on the number of disciples who would enter the Mountain of No Return. After that, they returned to the headquarters and posted task orders to recruit disciples to prepare for the expedition, so as to prepare for the war in the future.
Although the two major alliances reached an agreement on exploring the Mountain of No Return and returning to the Mountain of No Return to purge the demons, the problem left over thousands of years ago has not yet been resolved - that is the problem of how to divide the spiritual stone.
.
This is a big problem. I think back then, it was because of this problem that it caused confusion among people, and eventually caused dozens of immortal cultivating sects in the two major alliances to fall apart. They suffered countless casualties in the monster craze. They were defeated and forced to withdraw in frustration.
Never return to the mountain.
Now that the immortal cultivating sects of the two major alliances have restarted the Lingshi Mine in the Mountain of No Return, they must naturally learn from the lessons learned from the last time.
To prevent the world from falling apart again, losing face is a small thing, but not getting the spiritual stone is a big thing.
The top leaders of the two major alliances spent a full month just to discuss how to divide the spiritual stone. Both sides wanted to use the method that best suited their own interests to divide the spiritual stone, and they almost fell out again.
Fortunately, the true self-stage monks from the two major alliances came forward directly to resolve the differences. A spiritual stone distribution plan was determined, and this troubled matter was finally settled.
This plan was simultaneously announced by the immortal cultivation sects of the two major alliances in the form of the "Mountain of No Return Adventure" mission.
After hearing Jiang Gaosheng's introduction to this mission, Yuwen Zhouyuan felt moved and secretly thought that this was an opportunity to accumulate military merit, but it was also very dangerous and he had to make a careful calculation.
So he took out a wooden sign and handed it to Jiang Gaosheng, and then said to the father and son: "This wooden sign contains a trace of my life energy. You and your son can go to Lijiazhuang outside Dejiang City to find Li Jiaozhuang, who also holds the sign of my life energy.
Dad, he has a very deep connection with me. You can protect him secretly. This wooden sign is the connection. If the opponent's wooden sign is damaged, something big has happened. You must help. Of course, if you can't handle it, you can also destroy this sign.
, I will handle it personally then!" Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"Yes, Master! Why don't you let me go to Dejiang City and let me protect you secretly?" Jiang Gaosheng said from the side.
"No, your father and son have a deep love for each other. It's better not to separate. Take good care of Mr. Li secretly for me. I'll be very grateful! Given time, I will definitely give you and your son their freedom!" Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"Yes! Jiang Gaosheng thanked the master for trusting him, then my father and son will go!" After saying that, the two of them said goodbye to Yuwen Zhouyuan, and Yufeng rushed towards Dejiang City.
Yuwen Zhouyuan walked towards the Ouziying station.
Yuwen Zhouyuan returned to the Ouziying camp and found that the expedition mission to the Noguishan cave had been announced on the wall at the entrance of the Ouziying camp, and it had become the hottest topic among all groups in the Ouziying camp. No matter where he went,
You can all hear about this.
This mission is mainly to eliminate all the monsters entrenched in the Mine of No Return Mountain.
It is extremely dangerous to clear out all the monsters in the mine. In the area around Mount No Return, first- and second-order earth beasts are common.
There must be a lot of third-level monsters in the cave, which are already equivalent to the level of real-life masters.
As for how powerful the monsters are in the monster's lair deep underground, no one knows. After all, this happened thousands of years ago, but it is certain that death will almost certainly happen in this expedition.
matter.
Yuwen Zhouyuan is now thinking about a problem, which is to advance to the True Yuan stage as soon as possible. Now that he has all the elixirs, the only thing missing is a suitable environment.
Since the Mountain of No Return is a spiritual stone vein, the true energy there must be strong, and it should be a good place for cultivation. Although there are monsters entrenched there, it should not be difficult to find a relatively safe place with strong spiritual power to advance.
