From the moment Zhang Ke entered the cave, from the moment the giant man spoke to the end of the battle, the time would not exceed five seconds.
Hong Can looked at Zhang Ke who was thinking thoughtfully and felt like he was going crazy.
I didn't bring Zhang Ke back just to let him kill Lang Hu.
What should we do now? Will the clansmen who have finally united together be divided again because of this incident?
Zhang Ke looked a little heavy at this time.
Even though he seemed to defeat the 'Demon' easily with every move he made, it was actually not easy.
Knowing something about the 'Heavenly Demon', he first determined the giant man's feet the first time he saw it.
'There is a demon'
Since the person in front of him was the 'Demon with Form', it also meant that there was the 'Demon without Form' hiding beside him, so he was more vigilant.
But if it hadn't been for the transformation of the power of the soul due to his previous epiphany, before today he could only guess that there was a 'No-Phase Demon' spying on him, but could not sense its whereabouts.
The warning of danger of death at the beginning of the battle was real.
Under the attack of two parties, Zhang Ke was indeed in danger of falling.
If it were other practitioners, faced with a thunderous blow that could not dodge and could annihilate the soul, I am afraid most of them would go all out to deal with it, thereby ignoring the fatal blow from the dark.
The virtual becomes the real, the real becomes the virtual, the virtual and the real change, the light and the dark collude.
This ambush strategy is obviously aimed at practitioners, otherwise it would not deliberately interfere with the operation of heaven and earth.
Because only practitioners are the best at using the power of heaven and earth’s vitality and laws.
It's a pity that the target of the ambush by the 'Tianmo' this time is Zhang Ke.
In the Azure Realm, why is a prerequisite for a middle-grade sect is that the sect must have a True Lord of the Soul in the 'Dongtian Realm'.
You must know that the three realms of "Three Flowers", "Five Qi" and "Dongtian" all belong to the realm of Yuanshen.
The reason is very simple, it is because of the "Dongtian" established by True Lord Yuanshen in the "Dongtian Realm".
The so-called "dongtian" is actually a miniature world isolated from the real world.
This miniature world contains its own spiritual laws, and its benefit to the practitioner is that it can reduce the practitioner's dependence on external spiritual laws.
When practitioners come to a realm where the density of vitality is extremely low, or when the laws of the external world are chaotic and the spiritual mechanisms of heaven and earth cannot be used, the power of the True Lord Yuanshen in the 'Dongtian Realm' will be revealed.
At this time, they can completely rely on the laws and inspiration contained in their own 'cave sky' to cast spells without hindrance.
Of course, there is an extremely harsh condition for this, that is, the ‘cave heaven’ contained within oneself can bear the call of the practitioner.
The vast majority of "Dongtian Realm" practitioners spend their entire lives perfecting their "Dongtian", hoping to resonate with the outside world and achieve unity.
This is not only preparation for promotion to the rank of Dao Lord, but also hope to break away from dependence on external energy and inspiration.
After all, when you reach this level, you will spend much more time traveling outside the void than in your own realm, and you will definitely encounter various complex and extreme environments outside the void.
How can a practitioner who is unable to break away from the constraints of his own realm be able to bear the demands that the realm places on middle-grade sects beyond guarding the void.
Zhang Ke didn’t know if the ‘Heaven Demon’ considered that he was a ‘Dongtian Realm’ Yuanshen True Lord when he ambushed him.
But the 'Dongtian' he built himself has already perfected the rules and regulations, which is far from the ordinary 'Dongtian Realm' Yuanshen Zhenjun.
The ancients once said, "Thirty-six Caves and Seventy-two Blessed Lands".
"Dongtian" means that there are caves in the mountains that lead to heaven.
"Blessed Land" means a blessed place, that is, it is believed that living here can lead a blessed life and become an immortal.
Originally, the so-called "cave heaven" and "blessed land" refer to the heavens and lands where all the immortals live.
Every 'cave heaven' and 'blessed land' really exists, and there are immortals who govern it.
Later, through continuous practice, practitioners discovered that heaven, earth, water and even people are all divided and transformed by one Qi.
The universe was established, the clear and the turbid were separated, merged into rivers, and formed mountains.
However, due to the difference in the purity and turbidity of the temperament, it is different. It turns into stars and stars at the top, and appears as a cave and sky below.
The inner view of the cave is interconnected with each other, formed by the knotting of qi, bound by stars, containing wind and rain, containing clouds and thunder, and is the hinge of heaven and earth and the axis of yin and yang.
After having this realization, through continuous exploration, the practitioners gradually use the external world as the shape to build their own small world.
With the improvement of rules and regulations, the radiation of the inner and outer worlds was synchronized, thus giving birth to the special small realm of 'Dongtian Realm'.
It should be noted that in ancient times, there was no such small realm as the "Dongtian Realm". At that time, this realm was called the "Hunyuan Realm", which means that the "Three Flowers" and the "Five Qi" are unified into one.
But whether it is a 'blessed land' or a 'cave heaven', there are pros and cons.
The thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands derived from here are just empty fingers.
It is a standard quantified based on the perfection of the construction of Dongtian Paradise.
Just like the mountains in the world, some have beautiful scenery, some are full of resources, and some are plain and featureless.
If Zhang Ke's "Dongtian" is compared with the "Dongtian" of other practitioners, then his "Dongtian" can definitely be included in the "Thirty-Six Dongtian".
Every two hundred years in the Azure Realm, sects will be upgraded, and all sects that are promoted must integrate into the "Secret Realm" or "Small Thousand Worlds" for their own realm.
So where do these ‘secret realms’ and ‘small thousand worlds’ come from?
Except for some parts that are naturally formed by the innate earth and nourishment, most of the "secret realms" and "small worlds" are actually transformed from the "cave heaven" of the practitioner.
However, under normal circumstances, after a practitioner dies, his own 'cave heaven' will disintegrate.
But there are also some cases where, due to coincidence or other reasons, these 'cave heavens' do not disintegrate, but instead manifest into the world, forming unique 'secret realms' and the like.
This time the 'Tian Mo' ambushed Zhang Ke decisively and resolutely. Its only mistake was that it should not have targeted Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke, who has perfected the rules and regulations of his own 'Dongtian', would have been able to break through and advance to the next level if he had not been given the opportunity to advance to the rank of Taoist Lord.
Even in terms of strength alone, he is not inferior to ordinary Dao Lords.
Therefore, the ambush of the 'Heavenly Demon' completely hit the iron plate, and the 'Shadowless Demon' joined forces and launched a soul-breaking attack, which was originally the most brutal and deadly.
If this blow can be completed, it can destroy Zhang Ke's soul in an instant. In addition, there is also a front-facing 'Phenomenal Demon' who can 'annihilate' the stone cone in a combined attack.
For ordinary practitioners of the 'Dongtian Realm', this is definitely a dead end.
It's a pity that Zhang Ke used the power of his own "Dongtian" perfect laws to make all external interference ineffective.
A counterattack with an elbow may seem simple, but it combines and superimposes several powerful offensive laws that Zhang Ke himself has mastered, and attacks with extremely powerful physical power.
It is said that he is just a 'celestial demon' in the Yuanshen realm, and even those who are good at physical strength would not dare to face him head-on.
Therefore, under the impact of Zhang Ke's elbow, the 'Phaseless Demon' was immediately annihilated and fell.
As for the tricks of the 'Youxiang Demon', Zhang Ke didn't care about them and captured him easily.
The reason why Zhang Ke is feeling a little heavy at this moment is that he has already guessed why the ‘Nine Heavens Demon Demon Lord’ summoned him here.
The ‘Tianmo’ has always been the main opponent of the Nine Heavens Dangmo Tianzun series.
This is not unusual, but if there are only a small number of 'celestial demons' raging here, there seems to be no need to summon yourself here.
Thinking of the scene of thousands of flashing lights falling in the sky, if they were all practitioners at the same level as myself, the number of 'demons' here might exceed my imagination.
The 'Heavenly Demon' he is fighting against is only at the realm of the soul, but it does not mean that all 'Heavenly Demons' are at this level.
What if there is a higher realm of ‘demons’ hidden in this?
Then wouldn't it mean that I am now in the same situation as the Zerg in the Void?
Zhang Ke had a very bad premonition in his heart.
If all the practitioners who came to this world encountered a similar ambush, he didn't believe how many would survive.
Now that I think about it, the sound of thunder that I heard during my enlightenment in the wild was probably caused by other practitioners fighting against the 'devil'.
After thinking over and over again, Zhang Ke felt that he could only make a decision after Xiang Hongcan and others understood the situation here.
Looking around, all but a few of the Red Silkworm clan members were lying on the ground unconscious, including the dozen or so clan members wearing heavy metal armor.
After a careful inspection, no trace of the 'Tianmo' clan was found. Zhang Ke turned to face the red silkworm.
Spiritual light burst out, and the 'Language Understanding' magic circle was deployed again.
"Red Silkworm, what are you going to do?"
Along with the slight ringing of the 'Tongyin Bell', Zhang Ke's words reached Hong Silkworm's ears.
Hong Can silently looked at the surrounding situation and suddenly said:
"Master Ruyi, can you revive Shi Xiong and the others?"
This title was originally a title given to non-practitioners by Taoist disciples when Zhang Ke met her for the first time.
Because Hong Can and others did not understand the meaning of this word, they directly called Zhang Ke by this title.
This was just a trivial matter, and Zhang Ke didn't even think about correcting it. Hearing Red Silkworm's request, he nodded slightly.
Zhang Ke vaguely guessed what Hong Can was thinking, but he was not prepared to intervene.
He casually set up a 'Gan Lin Array' and easily revived more than 30 people including Stone Bear and Fire Snake.
Immediately afterwards, Red Silkworm, Shi Xiong and others briefly discussed a few words, and each raised their weapons to kill the clan members who were still unconscious in the cave.
Zhang Ke watched quietly from the side and discovered that Hong Can and others did not kill everyone.
Instead, they specifically targeted tribesmen wearing animal skins and metal armor, while other unconscious tribesmen wearing grass skirts survived.
After killing dozens of tribesmen in the cave, Shi Xiong and others immediately put on heavy metal armor, replaced metal weapons, and resolutely rushed out of the cave under the leadership of Red Silkworm.
There was no mystery in the cave that could hinder spiritual exploration. In order to maintain his masterly demeanor, Zhang Ke did not follow the others and leave.
Instead, he sets up a [Xumi Tian Eye Array] to manifest the scenes for several miles around him in the void in front of him.
At this time, there was a younger Shuiwan tribesman accompanying him.
When he finds himself in the cave, he can see the entire inlet of water with his own eyes from the [Xumi Tian Eye Array].
When he saw Hong Can and others clearing away the remnants of Lang Hu, he no longer had any doubts in his mind that the person in front of him must be a real god. He immediately knelt down at Zhang Ke's feet and worshiped with great piety.
In less than an hour, Hong Can and the others appeared in front of Zhang Ke again with blood splattered all over their bodies and menacing looks on their faces.
Seeing the physical scene of the inlet floating in front of Zhang Ke, Red Silkworm led everyone to bow down in front of Zhang Ke.
...
Next, Zhang Ke stayed in Shuiwan for three days.
Through conversations with different Shuiwan tribesmen, Zhang Ke finally had some understanding of this realm.
Due to limited vision, humans in this realm do not have a deep understanding of where they are.
Because this boundary is full of mountains and water, with jade pools and green marshes dotted in all corners, pearl trees and green groves sparsely scattered on it, the mountains are magnificent, and the peaks are steep, Zhang Ke named the boundary the ‘mountain and sea boundary’.
How long have humans been born in this world? Even the oldest tribesman in the water bay cannot tell.
All I know is that this world is extremely dangerous, with countless large beasts and various creatures containing supernatural powers.
Humans are just food in this world. Countless tribes are scattered everywhere, surviving in the cracks like tenacious weeds.
This can be seen from the fact that the human race can only live in hiding in caves.
However, humans in this world have records and inherited instincts and habits. A long time ago, humans in this world recorded more important things in the form of carving patterns on the mountain walls.
Through the simple patterns on the mountain wall inside the cave, Zhang Ke had some understanding of the current situation of the 'Mountain and Sea Realm'.
Excluding some events that had nothing to do with him, Zhang Ke saw some special patterns on a certain mountain wall.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Similar to the arrival of Zhang Ke and others in the ‘Mountain and Sea Realm’, there are also scenes of countless meteors falling to the ground on the mountain wall.
Zhang Ke guessed that this should be the vision produced when the ‘celestial demon’ came to this world and was recorded by the humans in this world after seeing it.
As for the time when the ‘Devil’ came, it is impossible to verify.
In some subsequent patterns, there are scenes of strange creatures sitting on thrones and accepting human kneeling, and there are also scenes of many human beings being tied in chains, carrying rocks and wood to build palaces.
What surprised Zhang Ke most was that in one of the pictures, he saw a humanoid black shadow behind a man sitting on a throne.
This shows that the indigenous humans in this realm have actually discovered the secret of the existence of the ‘devil’.
During the communication with Hong Can and others, Zhang Ke also understood the situation in the water bay.
This tribe in the Land of Water Bay has been established for hundreds of years. Because women have the ability to give birth and can expand the size of the tribe, women have always been in power in the Land of Water Bay.
As the smartest and most outstanding woman in the tribe, Red Silkworm was elected as the leader of the Shuiwan Land forty years ago.
Thanks to the efforts of Red Silkworm, the humans of the Shuiwan tribe strengthened their awareness of farming and captured some wild animals to tame them.
Moreover, Red Silkworm contributed a sericulture technology she had mastered, teaching women in the tribe to raise sericulture artificially and collect silk to sew clothes.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but thirty years ago, a "God-given One" came to the land of Water Bay.
It was the giant man named Lang Hu who entered the water bay with twenty subordinates wearing metal armor and directly challenged the red silkworm.
Hong Silkworm, whose strength is only equivalent to that of the Golden Core Realm, is naturally no match for Lang Hu, whose strength is equivalent to that of Yuan Shen.
Speaking of which, let’s talk about the cultivation system of the ‘Mountain and Sea Realm’.
In the 'Mountain and Sea Realm', because there is no inheritance, all human races can only imitate various creatures in nature to strengthen themselves.
This includes all kinds of beasts, as well as some special creatures and others.
With continuous revision and inheritance from generation to generation, this cultivation system is gradually improving.
The humans in this world believe that their strength comes from their heart, and as long as they have enough energy and blood, they can strengthen themselves.
Therefore, all cultivation starts from the heart, which is why a halo appears in the heart when humans in this world use their abilities.
Strength comes from the heart, this is their simplest understanding.
Because of the powerful physiques of the humans in this world, even ordinary humans will basically have the strength to cultivate the innate realm when they reach adulthood.
By stimulating your own talents, you will develop some unique abilities.
Some of the more powerful human races will greatly enhance their strength through practice, which is equivalent to the physical cultivation of the Golden Core realm, and gradually develop beast-like abilities.
For example, stone bears, fire snakes, and red silkworms will appear in partial forms of certain beasts when using their abilities.
There are also some of the most powerful human beings who, by chance, have made breakthroughs in their own abilities, and have developed powerful bodies that are equivalent to those of Yuan Shen.
This type of human race can already change through the unique characteristics of their own bloodline.
Lang Hu is one such person, who can instantly transform into a powerful saber-toothed tiger to attack.
There are no records further up. On different mountain walls, there are at most records that some people can transform into beasts to fight.
After taking control of the Shuiwan tribe, Lang Hu overturned all the measures implemented by Red Silkworm, enslaved the tribesmen, and from time to time would perform blood sacrifices from the tribesmen to pray for the blessing of the 'gods'.
Within thirty years, there were hundreds of clan members performing blood sacrifices alone.
Every five years, some tribesmen are taken away by humans wearing heavy metal armor and sent to the residence of the ‘gods’ for service.
But none of those who left returned.
Lang Hu told Hong Can and others that these tribesmen were favored by the ‘gods’ and enjoyed happiness in the divine world.
But how could Hong Can and the others not know that these people were probably in danger.
For this reason, the people of the Shuiwan tribe have long hated Lang Hu and others.
From the fact that Shi Xiong and others always call Hong Can the clan leader, it can be seen that they do not agree with Lang Hu's rule.
This is also the reason why after Zhang Ke captured Lang Hu, Hong Can did not turn against Zhang Ke, but immediately led people to massacre the tribesmen who were close to Lang Hu.
Zhang Ke asked Hongcan for information about Lang Hu, including why he had metal heavy armor and weapons.
Unfortunately, Red Silkworm knew nothing about this. He only guessed from some clues that Lang Hu came from the far north.
Zhang Ke was very dissatisfied with the information he received. Apart from knowing that a large number of 'celestial demons' had descended on the 'mountain and sea realm', the only useful information was that the 'celestial demons' should be in the far north.
It was found that there were no useful clues in the water bay, and Zhang Ke had no intention of staying here.
However, he also left some useful things for the Water Bay Land in these three days.
"Seven Methods of Farming" systematically explains the cultivation seasons and harvesting seasons of different crops.
In addition, there are various conditions that need to be paid attention to in farming, including the depth of seed burial in the land, the method and intensity of water diversion and irrigation, the removal of weeds, and the accumulation and use of fertilizers.
‘Six Smelting Techniques’, limited to the actual situation, Zhang Ke only listed the shapes of several ores and primitive smelting techniques.
To put it simply, metal is extracted from coal, charcoal and other burning ores and then crafted.
As for the artifacts made, there are only sickles, daggers, iron pots and iron spears.
‘Herb Identification’, Zhang Ke collected various types of herbs while exploring the situation within thousands of miles in the past three days.
After confirming the efficacy of the medicine, Zhang Ke made an illustrated book of the 149 herbs he discovered and passed it down.
In fact, he only played a supplementary role in this item. The Shuiwan people who have lived here for an unknown number of years also have similar records.
It’s just not as complete as the illustration made by Zhang Ke.
‘Knotting’ is an extremely ancient method of measuring numbers by tying different knots on a straw rope.
It's not that Zhang Ke doesn't want to teach better counting methods to the humans in Shuiwan, but that they don't even have the basic consciousness for the Shuiwan people who are in a state of ignorance.
Limited to the time Zhang Ke stayed here, this method could only be left in the end.
Because humans in this world have not yet developed writing, in order to enable Hong Can and others to learn these four knowledges, Zhang Ke set up a 'manifestation' formation on the mountain wall.
All processes are reproduced through illusion, and you can see illusory characters cultivating, weeding, irrigating, fertilizing, and harvesting.
There are also the identification and smelting of ores, the patterns and brewing methods of herbal medicines, and the conditions of people with different illnesses after taking herbal medicines.
This formation guides the dissipated energy of the earth's veins and the free energy between heaven and earth. Every month, after the formation replenishes energy, it will automatically manifest these four knowledges.
In addition to these four knowledges, Zhang Ke thought about it and entered the text into the mountain wall again, but this time he did not enter the text from the azure world, but the ancient hieroglyphics of the world in the dream.
More vivid words are more suitable for the human race of the ‘Mountain and Sea Realm’ to remember.
Because he still had matters to deal with, Zhang Ke only stayed for three days, and then turned into a golden light and left the water bay.
In his mind, this contact is like two crossed lines. After meeting at the intersection, there will be no more communication in the future.
But what he didn't expect was that he would live together with the humans in the Water Bay for a long time to come.
