The back mountain area is very large, but it is deserted and there are very few disciples of the sect.
Because of the scarcity of cultivation resources, there are not many monks in this world. They all cling to the territory left by their ancestors and regard it as more important than their lives.
Compared with the places where ordinary people live, the energy concentration of this sect is much higher, but the area in the back mountain is so barren that it is even worse than the outside world.
The reason is simply that although the energy in the entire valley is rich, it cannot support the use of the entire sect's monks, and the situation becomes more and more serious.
So after some transformation, this sect concentrated all the energy in the valley into one location, which could ensure higher cultivation efficiency, but also brought more competition.
The law of the jungle is eaten by the strong. This situation is very common in the world of monks. Only the strong can obtain more training resources. In a sect, being strong does not only refer to strength. Background and opportunity are equally important.
This approach chosen by ordinary sects seems good, but in fact it is out of necessity, because the energy of heaven and earth available for cultivation is getting thinner and thinner. If it continues to develop, sooner or later the inheritance of monks will be cut off from this world.
For the same reason, the strength of monks in this world is generally not high. Being able to possess lord-level strength is enough to be called the overlord of a party.
Comparing the two, the advantages of the monks in Loucheng are revealed again. As long as they are in Loucheng, the energy they absorb during practice is exactly the same. There is no one who has more or less, and it is easier to cultivate more strong people.
As for the replenishment of energy, it is not a problem at all for the Loucheng World that plunders the source power of each plane world. As long as the level is enough, you can have as much as you want!
So not every world is as perverted as the Loucheng world, otherwise the Great Thousand Planes would have been in chaos, instead of just the Loucheng monks invading everywhere!
In this dark plane forest, the Loucheng monks are like a group of fierce hungry wolves, constantly wandering around, looking for prey that are confused about the outside world and lurking around them without knowing the danger.
…
After arriving at the back mountain, Tang Zhen looked at the surrounding environment and walked towards an independent cliff engraved with various characters and patterns.
There is a stone ladder on the cliff. After drilling a hole in the stone wall, a hard stone is inserted into it, and it goes all the way up the rock wall to a platform at the top.
The distance between each stone bar is three meters. It is impossible for ordinary people to climb it. Just looking at it will make you feel terrified.
Tang Zhen swept the platform about a hundred meters above the ground, and with a slight shake of his body, he flew to the top easily.
When a disciple who was practicing in the distance saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost went crazy. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that he was hallucinating.
Looking at Tang Zhen who was under the cliff one second and appeared on the high-altitude platform the next moment, a trace of envy flashed in this disciple's eyes. He had already heard about what happened in the hall and knew that Su Huanzhen was no longer what he used to be.
Compare.
It is said that after his return this time, even the leader is very afraid of his strength. Who knows how strong he is?
Tang Zhen had already discovered the disciple in a secluded corner, but he had no intention of hiding. A proper display of strength could dispel the doubts of those who didn't mean well.
He doesn't know how long he will stay here. Proper strength and deterrence can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Looking at the dark hole in front of him, which was deliberately carved into the head of a beast with fierce eyes, Tang Zhen frowned slightly and walked in slowly.
There are hammers, shovels, cart picks and other tools placed at the entrance of the hole. They are all made of special metal and have extremely high hardness.
After walking into the cave, we could not advance more than ten meters when we were faced with a large collapsed rock, blocking the inside of the cave.
His task is to clean out these hard stones and repair the damaged areas. This seemingly simple task is actually not simple.
This kind of stone is extremely hard. If you hit it with an ordinary pickaxe, only a white spot will appear. Even if you bomb it with explosives, it will only break open the size of a casserole.
Such a hard stone actually has a special function. It is a very precious ore. After being refined many times, the metal can be used to cast weapons used by monks.
Walking to the collapsed rock, Fang Rui stretched out his finger and tapped it, and a "ding-ding" sound came from the rock.
"Ore with this density seems not to exist in such a world. Could it come from other worlds?"
After sensing the texture of this stone, Tang Zhen found that it was a little out of tune with the world, as if a piece of hardwood had been mixed into a world made of styrene boards.
"Any area with such dense energy will more or less intersect with the gaps in the plane. Is it the same here?"
Tang Zhen had this idea in his mind, and it felt more reliable.
If this is the case, then perhaps this barren cliff does not belong here, but is an intruder from another world.
With a wave of his hand, a ball of flame appeared in his hand and floated towards the stone in front of him.
The originally extremely hard stone melted quickly after encountering the flames. At the same time, the special metal contained in it was extracted and automatically gathered into a ball in the air.
It's just that the content of this special metal is so thin that from a stone the size of a tabletop, only a lump the size of a quail egg was extracted.
Tang Zhen was not very interested in this metal. He just wanted to know what secrets were hidden in this cave covered by rocks.
With Tang Zhen's control, the entire cave was covered in flames, and the stones piled up in the cave turned into lava, automatically flying to the open space outside the cave, turning into a mountain of flames with an astonishing temperature!
When the disciple who was still stretching his neck to observe saw this, his mouth opened so wide that he could almost fit a fist into it!
He really couldn't understand what Tang Zhen was doing in the cave. How could so much lava fly out? Did he dig a hole in the ground beneath his feet?
The noise grew louder and louder, and soon attracted more people's attention. The monks appeared nearby one after another, staring at this scene in shock.
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
"I don't know, could it be a volcanic eruption?"
"I heard that Su Huanzhen got in just now, and then something strange happened. Could it be related to him?"
"Su Huanzhen? He is the strong man who beat up the elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall and confronted the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall in the main hall. Where did he come from?"
"I don't know, but I heard from the master that this person may have had a great opportunity, and his current strength is unfathomable. The scene in front of him may really be related to him!"
Everyone was whispering to each other, and the leader and others also arrived one after another. They looked at the magma flying out of the cave, their eyes full of uncontrollable horror.
What kind of terrifying strength can turn this kind of diamond-like ore into magma?
This Su Huanzhen is indeed not simple. He chose to compromise in the main hall, but now it seems to be a wise choice. Otherwise, the impulse of the moment may involve the entire sect!
"Master, should we go over and take a look?"
A monk next to him asked, his face looking very solemn, with a hint of greed and curiosity at the same time.
"Don't act rashly, just stay here and observe quietly!"
The leader replied expressionlessly, but he was cursing idiots in his heart. The situation is unknown now. Who dares to rush over hastily? If they are touched by the magma, they may be turned into fly ash in an instant!
No matter how precious special metals are, they are far less important than life!
Hearing what the leader said, several monks who were originally eager to give it a try also calmed down. Even the leader with the highest strength was extremely afraid. If they approached at this time, what was the difference between that and seeking death?
If it was Su Huanzhen in the past, they might be able to use their identity and strength to intimidate him, but now just looking at him makes his soul tremble.
Faced with Su Huanzhen in this state, who would dare to provoke him? Is it too long to live?
