Chapter 122: Divine power, earth escape technique!
A moment later, south of Jade Belt City.
Lin Chen followed the underground tunnel opened by the earth drilling machine and dived into the ground more than 200 feet deep.
In the invisible underground, Lin Chen could only rely on his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding environment.
After reaching the end of the tunnel dug by the earth drilling machine, Lin Chen saw another tunnel that was half a person high.
After bending down and getting in, Lin Chen's consciousness spread out like a tide.
After observing for a while, Lin Chen nodded and said:
"It is indeed a newly dug tunnel...and it doesn't look like it was dug by snakes, but more like it was dug by humans. "
"It's just that this digging skill is more sophisticated than the ground drill?"
Lin Chen had a strange look on his face.
After some thought, he decided to follow the underground tunnel to explore deeper.
Leaving Long Ba where he was, Lin Chen walked down the hole.
During this period, Lin Chen kept his consciousness at the maximum distance and could sense the situation nearly three hundred feet away.
After walking like this for a while, he estimated that he was already seven or eight hundred feet away from the ground.
But the hole is still not over...
After walking forward for a while, Lin Chen stopped.
In his perception, there was the aura of someone three hundred feet away.
And that man was digging a hole in the ground at an alarming speed.
Much faster than an earth drilling machine...
Lin Chen had a strange look on his face.
"Why does this person's aura feel familiar?"
After sensing carefully, Lin Chen identified this person's identity.
"This seems to be the Jade Belt Scholar who escaped from Jade Dai Mountain?"
"That being the case, it makes sense..."
Lin Chen touched his chin and thought The jade-belt scholar who used the Earth Escape Technique.
The earth escape technique is extremely mysterious, and it is not surprising that he can dig holes at such an alarming speed.
"In this way, it saves some effort... If we can learn the Jade Belt Scholar's Earth Escape Technique, wouldn't it be much more convenient than using an earth drill?"
Thinking of it At this point, Lin Chen concealed his cultivation and slowly approached the Jade Belt Scholar.
......
At the same time, the scholar with the jade belt was digging a hole tirelessly.
He was still muttering something:
“Damn you, you actually sealed up the Jade Belt City... Do you really want to sacrifice the city?”
“Fortunately, I have the ability to escape from the earth. , when I dig deep into the ground, hum! Even the powerful Nascent Soul... can't find me!"
The Jade Belt Scholar already had a plan in mind at this moment.
It would be best if we could directly dig the ground and escape from the confines of Yudai City.
If he really couldn't escape, he would hide in the ground thousands of feet deep, hide for a year and a half, and then come out to see people...
In the blink of an eye, he dug several feet deeper.
While he was resting, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked back, he saw a figure standing behind him.
Subconsciously propped up the body-protecting essence...
But it was of no use at all!
I saw a long black knife directly breaking through his body-protecting essence.
The whole body was split in half under a huge force...
The pain spread throughout his body, but he didn't even have a chance to cry out.
Before he died, he had only one thought in his mind.
“How come someone can find him in this thousand-foot-deep underground?”
After slashing the scholar with the jade belt to death, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thousands of feet deep underground, earth escape is still a bit troublesome... If he escapes, it will be a big loss!”
“It would be better to just kill him with a knife. Feel free..."
Lin Chen muttered.
His sword has a million pounds of strength. How can he stop it when he is only in the foundation building stage?
After killing the Jade Belt Scholar, Lin Chen took out his storage bag and rummaged through it carefully.
The restriction was easily erased, and divine consciousness penetrated into it.
Lin Chen was a little surprised, there were still a lot of good things in this storage bag.
This jade-belt scholar has been a tribulation cultivator for who knows how many years. He may have had some adventures in his early years.
There are more than 30,000 spirit stones in the storage bag alone, which is enough for Lin Chen to practice for the next hundred days.
In addition, there are many magic weapons, elixirs, and mountains of various ancient books and storybooks...
"Tsk, tsk, you are a scholar! Of course you love reading..."
Lin Chen muttered, the Jade Belt Scholar collected no less than a thousand ancient books on various techniques and techniques.
Of course, most of them are street stuff.
But there are dozens of books that look unusual, as if they were unique copies excavated from ancient ruins.
In addition, Lin Chen discovered that the scholar with the jade belt liked reading novels.
I especially like to read stories about the love between a mortal scholar and a fox demon...
There are no less than a hundred books of this type alone.
Looking at the author's name again, it was actually written by the scholar with the jade belt himself.
Seeing this, Lin Chen inevitably had a strange look in his eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect this jade belt scholar to have such a hobby..."
After searching carefully for a long time, Lin Chen finally got what he wanted.
A jade slip.
A jade slip recording the art of earth escape!
With his mind sinking into the jade slip, Lin Chen read it carefully.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen's eyes flashed with wonder.
“This Earth Escape Technique is really unusual...it’s actually a magical power he found from ancient ruins!”
That’s right, this is the first Earth Escape Technique that Lin Chen has seen. A magical power!
In the world of immortality, not every spell can be called a magical power.
For example, the Caged Bird, Yin Mu Jin and others that Lin Chen learned before.
They can only be called spells.
Spells are relatively common, with acceptable power, but the cost of casting them is relatively low.
Just like the major sect forces in Yan Lai, almost all they master are magic arts.
What is more rare and precious than magic is magical power!
The biggest feature of magical power is that it is very powerful and consumes a lot of mana and real energy!
Just like this earth escape technique, if you practice it to a small extent, you can dig a thousand feet in the ground in one day...
With such magical power, even a Jade Belt Scholar can't save his life in the Nascent Soul Realm. Not difficult.
After all, even Nascent Soul monks would have a headache if they were hiding thousands of feet underground.
“It’s a pity that the Jade Belt Scholar has not mastered the earth escape technique yet.”
Lin Chen murmured.
This opening record of Earth Escape Technique comes from the "Disha Chapter" in "One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Gang Disha Magical Powers".
Earth Escape Technique has two major methods.
First, dig a hole!
Just like the Jade Belt Scholar, he can easily dig holes and hide himself underground.
Second, escape!
After using this technique, the land will be like water to the monks without any hindrance.
There is no need to dig the ground, the whole person will live underground in a wonderful form, like a fish.
Mastering the Earth Escape Technique, you can hide thousands of feet deep underground in an instant.
And just like swimming in water, it can travel underground, and the speed is not even much worse than flying with a royal weapon...
Whether it is rushing or saving one's life, it is first-rate.
The only pity is that the mana consumption of the Earth Escape Technique is too high.
And you have to escape to the ground in one breath. Once you don't have enough magic power in the middle, or you can't withstand the pressure of the land, you can only return to the shore.
“Tsk, tsk, I’m afraid this jade belt book has not mastered the art of escaping from the earth!”
“Otherwise, it could escape thousands of feet in one breath...how could I catch it?”< br>
The corners of Lin Chen’s mouth raised slightly.
He meets the prerequisites for earth escape practitioners - possessing earth spiritual roots!
After all, Tun Lingling has all five elements, and Lin Chen almost meets the prerequisites for learning most magical powers.
"Well, as long as I master this earth escape technique, I will have the power to protect myself even if the devil sacrifices the city..."
Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.
There are less than three days left before returning to Blue Star.
"This thousand-foot-deep underground is much safer than the one in Jade Belt City..."
Lin Chen touched his chin and simply opened up a small cave three feet in diameter in the ground.
After that, he put Long Ba and Feng Jiu into the city to detect intelligence for himself.
As for himself, he stayed underground to practice earth escape.
“Let’s get started with the practice of Earth Escape first. Then, we will have more ways to save our lives even if we encounter threats...”
Lin Chen thought silently.
So I started practicing.
……
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The countdown on his arm was about to reach zero, and Lin Chen also temporarily ended his practice.
"Tsk, tsk, this Earth Escape Technique is indeed a magical power. It is really difficult to learn..."
"It took three days to barely get started?"
Lin Chen touched his chin.
He got up and came to the cave.
Using the Earth Escape Technique, a mysterious light flashed through, and a layer of brown energy seemed to be attached to the surface of his body.
With his hands stretched out, he dug in the dirt in front of him.
It was almost impossible to feel the presence of the soil. After he dug away the soil, it instantly disappeared into nothingness.
In just a dozen breaths, Lin Chen dug forward two or three feet deep. "Tsk, tsk, this digging speed can reach thousands of feet in a day..."
"It's a pity that the consumption of real energy is too great..."
< br>
Lin Chen murmured.
The core of soil escape is not the speed of digging, but how to deal with the dug soil.
This magical power can move the excavated useless soil to the surface. Otherwise, there would be nowhere to move the soil underground.
“There is also a method of escaping from the earth. The consumption of real energy is probably more than ten times that of digging into the ground...”
“Let’s see first if we can master the art of escaping from the earth. Let’s make it!”
Lin Chen's induction of earth spiritual energy was comparable to the best earth spiritual roots.
Both his qualifications and understanding are much higher than that of the Jade Belt Scholar.
In just three days, he almost reached the same height as the Jade Belt Scholar.
After a while, the countdown on Lin Chen’s arm returned to zero.
……
Daxia Kingdom, Martial Arts Palace.
After Wang Lishan noticed the changes in Lin Chen, he felt happy and asked:
"Come back?"
"Yes!" Lin Chen nodded. He said: "I found a good thing... At least I can save my life in Yudai City!"
He told Wang Lishan one by one about the situations he encountered in Yudai City.
Including speculations about the Puppet Hall, the Ghost Exorcism Gate, and the newly obtained earth escape technique.
Wang Lishan was obviously very interested in the Earth Escape Technique. He said:
“This Earth Escape Technique is really good... After that, I want to form a special unit to learn this technique. The Earth Escape Technique may be of great use on the battlefield!"
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.
Soldiers are cunning. Even on the battlefield of the martial realm, the art of earth escape is of great use!
For example, digging a secret tunnel thousands of feet deep into the ground to launch a surprise attack on the monster clan's lair...
"I heard that in the old era, there was a special force called the Mojin Colonel... "I think it was an official position in the old era," Lin Chen said with a smile.
In addition, the promotion of Earth Escape Technique may make Brother Tumu lose his job...
...
Back to Blue Star this time, Lin Chen reported the information as always.
On the one hand, we are waiting for the think tank’s next plans and predictions.
On the other hand, Lin Chen also stepped up his practice of earth escape.
In this way, seven days passed quickly.
Lin Chen has made great progress in the earth escape technique.
If you have enough real energy, it will not be a problem to dig two thousand feet deep in one day...
But unfortunately, Lin Chen's current true energy is not enough.
The most digging in one day is a thousand feet.
On the day he returned to the world of immortality, Wang Lishan informed Lin Chen of the latest predictions from the think tank.
"Xiao Chen, do you still remember what you said before that the monks and mortals in Jade Belt City have lost the concept of leaving the city?"
"Of course I remember!"
Lin Chen nodded, this was the most terrifying thing he found.
If millions of people in the entire Yudai City lose the concept of "leaving the city", what kind of terrifying power would that be?
I am afraid that such a method can only be achieved by an immortal...
Wang Lishan smiled after hearing this and said:
"Do you want to listen to the latest speculation of the think tank? Listen?”
"Actually, they were shocked when they found out about this. After all, it was too unbelievable for the entire city to lose the concept of leaving the city..."
"But considering your situation, there is also the Jade Belt Scholar. Want to dig in the ground to escape..."
“In the end, we came to the conclusion that this formation did not make people lose the concept of leaving the city... it just caused a misleading thinking to a certain extent... and made people unable to remember to leave Jade Belt City.”
< br>After Lin Chen heard this, he felt convinced.
Indeed, if it is just misleading thinking, it would be too simple.
Any monk in the middle stage of Qi refining can confuse ordinary mortals by learning a little trick to confuse people's hearts.
If it is to confuse the monks, the requirements for the realm and the power of the soul are even greater...
Wang Lishan said again at this time:
"But even so, it can confuse the entire The power of millions of people in the city is really extraordinary!”
“According to our judgment of the power of the immortal world, it is not easy even for the Nascent Soul cultivator to do this!”
"Therefore, we guess that this formation must have some restrictions..."
"For example, the reason why you are not affected by the formation and still want to leave the city is most likely because of your soul. The power is strong enough...beyond the perfection of Foundation Establishment!"
"This should be a dividing line. When Foundation Establishment is complete, it will be affected by the formation. But those who have completed Foundation Establishment will not!”
“As for the Jade Belt Scholar, he is not affected. On the one hand, it is because he is also in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and has a good soul... On the other hand, it is him who should come. The time in Jade Belt City is still short! It has not been affected by the formation yet..."
Hearing this, Lin Chen suddenly realized:
"Uncle Wang, what you mean is that this formation existed a long time ago... but it has never closed the city. It has only gradually misled the thinking of the creatures in the city!"
"Until the formation is activated. , the mortals and monks in the city have long since given up on leaving Jade Belt City... naturally they won’t find anything unusual?”
Wang Lishan He nodded and said:
"Yes! But you have also overlooked one point. There are so many monks in Jade Belt City. It seems that besides you and the Jade Belt Scholar, there should be other monks who have discovered the abnormality..."
"Even among the tens of thousands of monks, is it possible that there are loose monks in the alchemy stage who are lurking and aware of it?"
"Perhaps, you should go to the city and search... maybe you can find clues!"
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.
According to the think tank's speculation, there should still be some monks in the city who have not been affected by the formation at this time.
Or, they are aware of the formation sealing the city, but they dare not directly confront the Puppet Hall and the Ghost Exorcist Gate.
We can only lurk in secret, looking for opportunities to leave the city.
If Lin Chen could find this power, the possibility of escaping from Jade Belt City would be greatly increased.
“Okay, I will pay attention to this matter!”
Lin Chen nodded.
Wang Lishan looked at the time and knew that it was not far before Lin Chen crossed over.
So he patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Xiaochen, if you really can't escape, hide underground in advance and neutralize everything!"
"Behind you is the entire world of high martial arts...even the karma that monks are afraid of, It should be shouldered by our entire world!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded silently and said nothing.
Soon, a new round of time travel was reset, and Lin Chen's vision changed.
……
Outside Yudai City, there is a thousand feet deep underground.
After Lin Chen returned, he used the Earth Escape Technique to return to the ground.
At this moment, it is just dawn.
He looked in the direction of Jade Belt City and murmured:
"Originally, my idea was to go to the mass graves outside the city..."
"But now it seems that it might be a better idea if we can find other casual cultivators in the city!"
Thinking of this, Lin Chen sent Long Ba and Feng Jiu to search for clues in the city.
Originally, Lin Chen didn’t think about this, so he missed many details.
But after searching carefully, things became simpler.
For example, Lin Chen noticed that a few monks always sat in the inn opposite the Black Dog Gang, drinking and eating tea.
I stayed there all afternoon, and would come back every one or two days.
A few days later, Lin Chen roughly determined the identities of these monks.
So Long Ba and Feng Jiu were sent to contact them.
……
The inn opposite the Black Dog Gang.
Feng Jiu walked into the inn, looked around and then came to sit down at a table.
At this time, two monks were already sitting on the table, chatting and laughing.
After seeing Feng Jiu, he was a little confused and said:
“Fellow Taoist, what can I do for you?”
Feng Jiu frowned and snorted coldly. Channel:
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time! Have you been following me these days?"
After hearing this, the faces of the two foundation-building monks opposite changed, and they coughed twice and said:< br>
"Fellow Taoist, you are thinking too much..."
"Thinking too much? If I were thinking too much, why would your expressions change?"
After that, Feng Jiu He reached out and grabbed the monk's wrist.
After the monk felt the huge force on his wrist, his expression suddenly changed.
Another monk who was traveling with him wanted to resist, but was caught by Long Baye.
Later, Long Ba and Feng Jiu dragged the two monks away from the Black Dog Gang's station and walked into an inn room.
"Two...two fellow Taoists! You have misunderstood!"
The expressions of the two monks who were probing the Black Dog Gang's information suddenly changed and they said quickly.
They have never seen such a bluffing monk, who would take action at the slightest disagreement...
After hearing this, Feng Jiu snorted coldly:
"Of course I know you are not following me!"
"You...are really investigating the Black Dog Gang, right? Or...are you investigating the three strange things in the city?"
After hearing this, the expressions of the two monks changed slightly. , and asked tentatively:
"Two fellow Taoists, what do you mean..."
"Yes, we are also investigating! Why not share some information with each other?"
Feng Jiu said calmly.
After hearing this, the two monks looked at each other and said:
"It turns out that there are still fellow Taoists who have not lost their minds in the city... In this case, the two fellow Taoists come with us. …”
