The scorching sun is like fire, scorching the earth.
Looking around, the field seedlings are scorched, the leaves are dry and falling, and the cracked riverbeds of ditches and lakes are all exposed.
The air is extremely dry without a trace of moisture, making it extremely uncomfortable to breathe.
The sudden outbreak of severe drought made it difficult for people to make a living, and countless lives died due to drought.
The people begged and prayed hard, hoping for rain from the sky, otherwise they would probably end up starving to death.
Ordinary people are in the most difficult situation. They always rely on the weather for their livelihood. When there are bad years, they start to worry about their livelihood.
If the family and country are in turmoil, the suffering will become even worse, and life will be extremely difficult.
If it were more serious, there would be countless corpses, or blood would flow everywhere, and the bones would be exposed and eaten by savages.
Ignorant people don't know that many natural disasters are actually dangerous man-made disasters.
What seems like a peaceful life is actually because the truth has been concealed. Once revealed, it will be shocking.
The miserable people did not know that not too far away from them, a major event that shocked the spiritual world was happening.
Just a month ago, a red star fell from the sky, penetrated a lake and reached the center of the earth.
The commotion at that time was not small, and it alarmed many people, but they didn't know the reason at all.
Only the nearby practitioners discovered the falling meteorite and locked its position in a very short time.
When the practitioners approached this place, they discovered an astonishing sight. It turned out that the lake had disappeared, leaving only an extremely deep sinkhole.
There are crystals all around the tiankeng soil, and some bright gems remain. You can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary.
Used to assist spiritual practice, it actually gets twice the result with half the effort. It is simply a god-sent treasure.
Greed suddenly arises, and you want to get more.
The practitioners at that time tried to explore deep into the tiankeng, but they felt the scorching heat was irresistible.
That kind of high temperature is extremely frightening. The first step was bearable, but the next step was like burning one's body in flames.
Even practitioners cannot withstand such high temperatures and will turn into ashes if they hesitate for a moment.
Forced by desperation, the monks could only stay outside the sinkhole, waiting for the high temperature to subside before going deep into it.
However, as the high temperature recedes, strange scenes occur frequently. With the tiankeng as the center, various exotic flowers and plants appear continuously and grow extremely luxuriantly.
However, the periphery of the tiankeng seemed to have been drained of all vitality and gradually entered a state of drought and desolation.
Such an abnormal sight not only did not make the practitioners panic, but also made them feel extremely surprised.
The surrounding fields were barren, and whether the people were alive or dead had nothing to do with them.
Their attention is focused on exotic flowers and plants.
It should be noted that each of these flowers and herbs is extremely valuable, and ordinary monks have no chance to see them.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the elixirs around the tiankeng were growing in patches, as if they were a natural medicinal garden.
As long as you wait for time, when the medicinal materials mature, you will surely reap endless benefits.
Those practitioners were eager to protect the treasure and immediately cordoned off the place, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching it.
At the same time, he tried every means to cover up the secrets about this place and did not want outsiders to know.
But I didn't expect that the precious light soared into the sky and could not be blocked at all. It could be easily seen even from thousands of miles away.
Practitioners who didn't know about it or didn't pay too much attention to it were all attracted by the precious light that soared into the sky.
Immediately, they all set off and rushed towards the location of the sinkhole.
The first practitioner to discover this place had long since been imprisoned, and the owner had become a nearby medium-sized sect.
The monks of this sect strictly prohibit any outsiders from approaching, otherwise they will launch a direct attack.
In a short period of time, hundreds of monks died here.
The blood of practitioners contains special spiritual power, making exotic flowers and plants become more luxuriant.
As time goes by, the scene here becomes more and more amazing, and the precious light rising into the sky becomes more and more brilliant.
The scene around the sinkhole changed drastically and turned into a secret realm. Strange flowers and plants were everywhere, and strange beasts crawled out of the ground from time to time.
Outside, there is thousands of miles of bare land, the mountains and rivers are barren, and the vitality of all things has been sucked out of the secret realm.
The medium-sized sect that occupied this place was annihilated by the more powerful sect, but there was no new master to occupy it.
All the major sects in this world are gathered here, and they all want to monopolize the treasure land, but no one has such ability.
Finally, a decision was reached to explore the secret tiankeng together, and strictly ensured that the news would not continue to spread.
The monks in this world know the existence of the world, and are afraid that the benefits will be taken away by monks from outside.
Today, the secret realm of the Tiankeng has been explored many times by monks, but each time it was only in the outer area.
I wanted to go deep into the sinkhole, but I couldn't withstand the huge pressure. Even the most powerful monks couldn't go deep into the deepest part of the sinkhole.
All that can be done is to send elite soldiers and generals to continuously explore the depths of the sinkhole.
The harvest was quite astonishing, making all the major sects overjoyed.
The resources for cultivation in this world are not particularly rich, and the lives of practitioners are also very difficult.
Material distribution requires queuing, and good things must be given to elites and related households first. Once magical medicines and herbs appear, there will be a frantic rush.
If there are more wolves and less meat, the life of a practitioner will not be easy.
The emergence of this tiankeng secret realm can be said to have solved an urgent need and is enough to enhance the overall strength of the monks in this world.
During the exploration process, the monks could see countless treasures deep in the sinkhole, but they were unable to enter due to the pressure.
Moreover, during this period, the pressure continued to increase, making it increasingly difficult to enter the sinkhole.
If this situation develops, it may not take long for them to be taken out of the secret realm.
The monks in the sect who were aroused by their greed were extremely anxious, but they had no choice but to do anything.
Until one day, a monk suddenly realized that the method of investigation must be wrong.
I have been asking for things but not giving anything in return, which is obviously very wrong behavior.
Perhaps there are spirits in the secret realm who are very dissatisfied with this kind of demanding behavior and therefore exclude practitioners from entering.
The only way to solve the problem is to make a sacrifice.
This monk is an elite of the sect and has a certain right to speak. After having such an idea, he immediately informed the sect leader.
At this moment, all the major sect leaders were already in a state of distress.
They were jealous of the precious treasure of genius, but they couldn't get it.
The increasingly serious repulsive force drove the practitioners out of the secret realm, and they could not even touch the edge of the sinkhole.
If this situation develops, sooner or later the secret realm of the Tiankeng will become a forbidden area, and no monks can approach it.
The problems don't stop there. If it continues to be delayed, news about the secret realm of the sinkhole will be leaked sooner or later.
When that time comes, senior outside monks will enter the scene, and the local monks will no longer be able to monopolize any benefits.
It is even possible to be directly excluded and not even be able to get a sip of hot soup.
The monk's greed is comparable to an abyss that will never be filled.
Seeing that the benefits are fading away, a group of sect leaders are extremely anxious. This is their own opportunity, how can they let others take it away?
However, after thinking hard, he still couldn't find a solution to the problem, and one sect leader even turned gray overnight.
This elite disciple offered advice and immediately attracted great attention.
Several sect leaders felt that this was most likely a hint given by the Tiankeng Secret Realm through this disciple.
If this is the case, it must be taken seriously.
Even if this is not the case, you can still try this method, it may really solve the problem.
Previously, some monks mentioned that in the process of exploring the sky, they occasionally felt a trace of illusion, and claimed that there were gods at the bottom of the sinkhole.
If this is the case, the unknown god at the bottom of the pit may really need rich sacrifices.
