Blessed Land and Grotto-Heaven, a Desperate Predicament
Heavenly God Mountain.
Lu Qingfeng landed in front of Breakwind.
Breakwind, disheveled and scorched, was bound to the ground by vines. The vulture, burned to a skeleton, lay nearby.
"Your Divine Ability are truly admirable."
"It's just that my Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect occupies a Blessed Land, and there are countless Foundation Establishment in the sect. If you are alone, I would advise you to be lenient when you can, and not to make a mistake for yourself."
Despite his defeat and capture, Breakwind remained arrogant and defiant, speaking in a deep voice.
"Let's call it a day."
Lu Qingfeng ignored Breakwind and turned to the Yin Talisman Sect Human Path, saying, "What I'm about to say is none of your concern."
"Yes!"
Although everyone was curious about the conversation between the 'immortals,' Lu Qingfeng's prestige was too great. After responding, everyone withdrew.
Lu Qingfeng then looked at Breakwind and said, "I will ask you questions, and you will answer them. If you hesitate or lie in the slightest, I will make you wish you were dead."
He has always hated interrogation.
Firstly, you might not get anything useful out of them.
Secondly, it gave the enemy hope of turning the tide.
This time, after twenty years of waiting for news of Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, we finally found a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It would be a real pity to kill him so casually.
Left with no other choice, I reluctantly pressed them for an explanation.
As he spoke, Lu Qingfeng stepped forward and unleashed the 'Toxic Torture: Lock-Bone-Piercing Little Asura Method'.
This method is utterly cruel and hateful.
"Ah!"
"Ahhh!"
Breakwind felt as if his entire body was being burned by demonic fire, as if thousands of ants were crawling on him. The discomfort and pain came at once, making him wish he were dead.
Lu Qingfeng used his skills casually, then immediately stopped.
It was just to give Breakwind a concept of 'living worse than death' so that it would be easier to ask him questions.
"Whoosh!"
The Dharma Gate was drawn back, Breakwind was completely limp, covered in sweat, and panting heavily.
Lu Qingfeng casually set up a restriction, looked at Breakwind, and then officially began the interrogation.
Half a day later.
Lu Qingfeng, carrying the battered and mangled Breakwind, summoned a deer for transportation and headed straight for Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain.
After much questioning, I finally learned something about the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land and the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect.
The situation in the entire Heavenly Shaman Realm became clear in an instant.
"The entrance to the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land is located within the Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain."
Lu Qingfeng organized the information as he traveled.
"Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain is a mortal force supported by the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect Golden Silkworm Blessed Land. It was established to control resources in the mortal world."
"The Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect is located in the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land. It has one Body Tempering Realm cultivator, two Qi Origin Nurturing Realm cultivators, two Liquid Condensation Realm cultivators, and five Qi Guiding Realm cultivators."
"Countless Foundation Establishment?"
"Just bluffing!"
Lu Qingfeng chuckled.
Breakwind, after being captured, tried to intimidate Lu Qingfeng by mentioning the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect Foundation Establishment. However, after Lu Qingfeng used the "Toxic Torture: Lock-Bone-Piercing Little Asura Method" to destroy his will and defenses, he spilled the beans.
Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect.
There are only ten people who have reached the Foundation Establishment, and besides him, there are only nine others.
Lu Qingfeng finally understood why Breakwind was so arrogant and haughty.
Even a 'celestial sect' that governs a Blessed Land only has ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, who can be considered 'immortals' in the mortal world. Over time, their mentality naturally changes.
Those who are merely Foundation Establishment cultivators, without cultivating their mind and character, will eventually develop a fixed, arrogant attitude.
That makes it difficult to change.
They themselves are unaware that there is a problem.
That is the path to death.
"Cultivating in the end times is indeed true."
As Lu Qingfeng pondered, he felt a sense of relief and sighed with admiration.
It is truly pitiful and lamentable that a celestial sect, which occupies a Blessed Land, now only has a handful of Foundation Establishment cultivators and not even Spirit Void Cultivator.
"Earth-Immortal-Derived Blessed Land, Celestial Immortal create Grotto-Heaven!"
In a prosperous era for cultivation, those who occupy Blessed Land should at least have Earth Immortal True Lord presiding over them.
Upon Earth Immortal Dao Fruit, one can use Great Divine Ability to create a Blessed Land within the universe. This Blessed Land is both independent of the outside world and dependent on the universe, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
In this Blessed Land, it is an excellent place for Earth Immortal to cultivate and defend against external enemies.
A sect that produces even one Earth Immortal True Lord and has Blessed Land as its base can immediately prosper for eternity.
It's a pity.
Whether it is Grotto-Heaven or Blessed Land, although it is independent and autonomous, it is ultimately dependent on a certain world and has never transcended it.
If one ascends to the upper realm, one can then advance to the level of Celestial Immortal or Earth Immortal.
Then the Primordial World will never perish, and the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land will never decline.
This is why, even if some cultivators in the lower realms are of high enough rank to support Earth Immortal and Celestial Immortal, many cultivators in the lower realms still choose to ascend to the Mahayana True Immortal Realm.
After ascending to the upper realm, although it is more difficult to forge the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit and Heaven Immortal Dao, at least the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land and the ancient Primordial World coexist, which is equivalent to immortality.
In some lower realms with higher status, it is easier to support Earth Immortal and Celestial Immortal and achieve the Dao fruit compared to the upper realms.
But the same applies.
Life and Death are unpredictable in the lower realms, and there are countless beings in the Heavenly Shaman Realm who have reached the end of their lifespan.
Not to mention the various dangers that exist beyond heaven and earth. A void storm or the impact of a battle between powerful beings could destroy a region.
Life and Death are beyond our control.
Like the Heavenly Shaman Realm.
At its peak, it comprised nine major Grotto-Heaven and eighteen Blessed Land.
However, after Liu Ji, the immortal, slew the dragon, the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land successively declined. Now, six Grotto-Heaven and fourteen Blessed Land have been destroyed.
Between heaven and earth, only three Grotto-Heaven and four Blessed Land remain.
Within a few thousand years, the remaining seven Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land will also be destroyed.
It is far inferior to the upper realm.
This is also the root cause of the great war Central Plains and the Southern Borderlands.
The remaining cultivators of the Heavenly Shaman Realm, in their struggle for survival and transcendence, have gone almost insane.
The Langya Grotto-Heaven and the Celestial River Blessed Land, which occupy the Central Plains, could not hold back and launched an attack on the Southern Borderlands with the help of mortal forces, attempting to seize the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land and the Yellow Dragon Blessed Land in the Southern Borderlands and then escape from the Heavenly Shaman Realm!
When the war broke out, Spirit Birth, with millions killed and injured.
Behind.
However, it was merely a few dozen cultivators who stirred things up for their own selfish gain.
This is the greatest calamity that could befall heaven and earth.
"In every Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, there are ancient Teleportation Array that lead to the Other Shore Realm. As long as you gather enough Spirit Stone, you can activate the Teleportation Array and escape the sinking ship that Heavenly Shaman Realm."
"Thirty thousand years ago, when Liu Ji slew the dragon, the largest group of cultivators left through the Teleportation Array."
"Over the past 30,000 years, batches of cultivators have departed."
"Cultivation in the Heavenly Shaman Realm is declining. As the world decays, the Spirit Stone produced in Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land are becoming increasingly scarce. Originally, a Blessed Land could accumulate enough spiritual stones over several decades to activate a Teleportation Array. Gradually, this has been extended to over a hundred years, or even several hundred years."
"To this day."
"The various Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land in the Heavenly Shaman Realm have not had their Teleportation Array activated for 1,200 years."
Lu Qingfeng could understand the despair of these Heavenly Shaman Realm cultivators who had seen through the truth of the world and realized there was no hope for their cultivation. He could also imagine the madness they would feel in order to escape the Heavenly Shaman Realm.
For this reason, they were willing to wage a worldly war, and remain steadfast even if it resulted in the deaths and injuries of millions.
Madness, like a demon.
"What have all living beings done to deserve this?"
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
Looking up, I saw that I had arrived at the Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain.
Where is the entrance?
Lu Qingfeng shook the Breakwind in his hand and asked a question.
Breakwind's eyes were dim, leaving only instinct to guide him. Lu Qingfeng found the direction, summoned the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks, and set up an array around himself to block detection, making him invisible to ordinary people.
Walking on Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain is like entering a deserted place.
Soon they arrived at a mountain stream.
With a leap, he landed in a layer of formation, which was indeed the entrance to the Blessed Land.
Lu Qingfeng threw out the Breakwind in his hand, which turned into dust in the blink of an eye. A jade tablet fell from the Breakwind.
It is the talisman for those traveling together to the entrance of this Blessed Land.
Lu Qingfeng held the command token and easily entered.
Golden Silkworm Blessed Land.
Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, mountain peaks rise one after another, exuding an ethereal and Spiritual Qi.
This is the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land.
After 30,000 years of continuous decay, the once vast Blessed Land, spanning thousands of miles, was reduced to only a few dozen miles. The surrounding land was engulfed by raging water, wind, and fire, a scene of Chaos that reappeared, swallowing up countless acres of land.
The Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect is located here.
The Spiritual Qi within this Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land is the only one remaining in the Heavenly Shaman Realm.
To conserve Spiritual Qi, the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land currently only has ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, and this number is maintained. Only if a Foundation Establishment cultivator perishes will Internal Hardness Great Grandmaster Strength or even Extreme Transformation Supremacy Foundation Establishment, in order to ensure that the Blessed Land's basic strength is not weakened and that other Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land can take advantage of the situation.
At other times, we will never cultivate more cultivators to dilute Spiritual Qi or various cultivation resources.
Lu Qingfeng entered the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land.
What I saw was this desolate and broken landscape.
With a wave of his hand, the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks was removed, and Lu Qingfeng vanished into thin air.
[Divine Ability: Invisibility Technique]
Grade: Common
[Evolving Method: Ten Enhancements, Five Fusion]
[Note: This technique Fusion the skills of Concealment Technique and Qi-Concealing Technique, allowing the user to hide their form and presence, making them undetectable except by Divine Ability such as Spirit Eye and keen perception.]
When the ninth life came to an end, Lu Qingfeng, considering his means of survival, specially enhanced and Fusion the 'Invisibility Technique' Divine Ability.
This Divine Ability power is so great that, in theory, once it is used, even if one were to stroll around in front of Core Formation True Person, as long as one does not make a sound, one would never be discovered.
Only those with Divine Ability such as Spirit Eye and insight can detect it.
However, Core Formation True Person possesses a powerful soul and keen senses. If Lu Qingfeng's cultivation level is too low, the chances of him being discovered if he swaggered up to them would still be extremely high.
Once one's cultivation level and Divine Ability abilities improve, it will not be difficult to evade the spiritual senses of Core Formation True Person.
There were only nine Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land, so naturally they couldn't find Lu Qingfeng's whereabouts.
Lu Qingfeng walked among them.
They quickly traversed an area of several dozen miles and indeed discovered an extremely complex formation.
It is very similar to the Teleportation Formation he learned and mastered in "The True Exposition of the Celestial Lord's Formation Dao", only more complex.
It is clearly the Ancient Teleportation Array that Breakwind mentioned.
Cultivators from the Heavenly Shaman Realm leave the Heavenly Shaman Realm using this kind of Teleportation Array. However, activating the Teleportation Array requires a large amount of Spirit Stone. The Spirit Stone accumulated by the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land over a thousand years are not enough to activate a single Teleportation Array.
The situation is roughly the same for other Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
The Central Plains Langya Grotto-Heaven and the Celestial River Blessed Land joined forces to conquer the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land and the Yellow Dragon Blessed Land, collect all the Spirit Stone, and accumulate enough Spirit Stone to activate the Teleportation Array.
"As long as you have enough Spirit Stone, you can leave the Heavenly Shaman Realm."
Lu Qingfeng's eyes flickered.
We arrived at a cave abode.
Three chapters today, morning, noon, and evening.
