Chapter 673 Jiuyou
There are many ruthless people who seek the truth.
This has always been the case!
Their long lifespan allows them to experience the birth, old age, illness and death of those around them, and they develop a heart of stone through parting after parting.
The same is true for Zhou Yi, and the same is true for Zizhen...
The death of an old friend is indeed sad, and they will not let themselves be so sad that they cannot extricate themselves. After a few days, their emotions will slowly calm down.
At the bottom of Black Mountain, when Zizhen left last time, he sealed all the things he couldn't take away here, including some ancient books.
Thanks to the collecting habit of the former cave owner, some more unusual things are available here.
The two searched for it and found records about the Nine Netherlands.
Although it is messy, it can be seen.
"Sure enough."
Zizhen held the leather scroll in his hand and said slowly:
"I remember correctly. Aliens and beasts are indeed related to Jiuyou. A very small part of them come directly from the land of Jiuyou, and most of the others are infected and transformed by the aura of Jiuyou."
< br>
"In addition, the Tribulation of the Nine Netherworld and the Jedi Tongtian belong to the same era, so it is very likely that there is a causal relationship."
Zhou Yi nodded slowly.
The so-called Jiuyou Tribulation refers to the sudden border between this world and the Jiuyou land in a short period of time. All living beings in this world were attacked by countless alien and strange things, causing countless deaths and injuries.
But there was a legendary immortal in this world at that time.
There is a large sect of Immortal Sect.
These experts used the method of "Jedi's Heaven" to separate this world from the Jiuyou Land to avoid the threat of Jiuyou's aliens.
But...
Since then, those rumored immortals have disappeared, and there have never been any monks above Yuan Shen in this world.
Of course,
These are just what they deduced from the fragments that recorded ancient events, and no one knows the details.
"Judging from the ontology's experience, no world has ever been able to prevent it from falling into the Ruin Realm. Once it falls, it will be completely integrated into the Ruin Realm."
"No exceptions!"
Zhou Yi raised his head, eyes flashing:
"Now it seems that this world should be an exception."
His heart was up and down, not only because he discovered some ancient secrets, but also because it showed that although his body was strong, he was not omniscient and omnipotent.
Since there are exceptions.
Then why can't I become a special case that exists apart from the ontology?
"Husband, you can rest assured." Zizhen felt his emotional changes and smiled sweetly:
"What that man can't do, there are people in our world who can do it. As long as your husband gets the inheritance from the immortals, he will definitely be able to change his ways."
This may seem impossible, but in fact it is not difficult. As long as one of the two can obtain the golden elixir, there is a great chance of achieving it.
After all, since the Jedi reached heaven, there has been no existence above the Yuan Shen in this world, but the inheritance above the Yuan Shen has not been lost.
Several major immortal sects are still there.
Just like the 'Tai Su Dao' behind the Six Kingdoms, it is a sect passed down from ancient times. There is an old monster in the sect who has been in charge for thousands of years.
If you advance to the golden elixir and join a similar force, you will be able to gain inheritance.
With this kind of inheritance, one can bargain with the main body.
If you achieve the soul...
Based on the rumored "pure and unique" nature of the Yuan Shen, even if the original body is extremely powerful, it is probably impossible to take it back by force.
"Since the ancient Jedi reached the sky, this world has been separated from the Ruins Realm. However, there are still some places where the energy of the Nine Netherworlds has penetrated, so the alien species have not been cut off."
Zhou Yi spoke:
"I plan to visit a place like this."
"Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger." Zizhen nodded:
"Let's go together. Husband and wife are of the same mind, and they can break through metal."
Zhou Yi looked sideways, with a smile on his face, and subconsciously wanted to say something along the lines of "What does a husband want to have such a wife?"
However, although there was a lot of good news, the two of them did not dare to be careless. After all, their future opponent could shape Zhou Yi's existence with just one thought.
More than just shaping a person.
He also gave Zhou Yi a golden finger with a permanent certificate. To be honest, these methods are far beyond the level of Yuanshen Zhenren.
"Before leaving, let's go to Qianman Mountain and Wanling Cave."
Zizhen said:
"They have taken advantage of the Batu Caves all these years for nothing, so it's time to collect some interest."
"Of course." Zhou Yi nodded.
"There is also this black wind." Zizhen stretched out his hand and pointed at the black wind in the black wind cave and said:
"This wind is special. It comes deep into the enemy's earth veins and has the wonderful effect of sharpening the physical body. If my prediction is correct, there should be third-level spiritual materials underneath."
"If I can get it, I won't have to worry about tempering my body in the next few decades."
Zhou Yi lowered his head and nodded silently.

*
After the Jedi reaches the sky, there are no aliens from the Nine Netherlands appearing in this world, but there are places where the energy of the Nine Netherworlds keeps popping up.
No one knows where it came from. Maybe it's because the Jedi Sky is incomplete, or maybe it's a legacy from the Nine Netherlands.
In short,
It's always there.
The energy of the Nine Netherworld can cause mutations, turning ordinary livestock and wild beasts into bloodthirsty and crazy aliens, harming nearby people.
It can even corrode creatures and living things, creating a desperate situation.
But for practitioners, Jiuyou Qi is also an extremely rare weapon refining material, and even certain secrets and forbidden techniques must be used.
Over time, monks will gradually gather in places with the aura of Jiuyou.
There is a place deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
This day.
A line of fire appeared in the sky. One moment it was at the end of the line of sight, and the next moment it was overhead. The speed was frightening.
"Whoosh!"
The line of fire stagnated in the air, and the light dispersed, revealing two figures, a man and a woman, inside.
The man has an average appearance, but his figure is unusually tall and tall. His eyes are deep and unpredictable, with a faint glow of fire.
The woman has an astonishing face, slightly sharp eyebrows, and a plain white dress that flutters in the wind, adding to her otherworldly aura.
The two flew to the top of a mountain, and the woman stepped forward, cupped her fists and held her hands in hand:
"Is this the Xiaohan Mountain where Master Xu lives? My husband and I have heard about the name of Master Xu for a long time, so we came here from the deserted city to see him!"
"Whoosh!"
A ray of light rose from below and landed not far from the two of them.
Xu Yue's white hair reaches to his waist, but his face is like that of a young man. He is standing in the air with his feet on bamboo pieces, looking at the two people with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
The expression is slightly confused:
"What do you call them?"
"Loose cultivator Zhou Yi." Zhou Yi took a step forward and stretched out his hand:
"This is my wife, Zizhen, who has met Master Xu. Our couple has a good friend nicknamed Sandong Renxia. He introduced us here."
"Sandong Renxia Hong Xiao!" Xu Yue understood:
"He often introduces guests to Xu, well..."
"I remembered!"
He clapped his hands and his face was filled with emotion:
"You two have been guests of Situ's family for a while. Is Zhou Daoyou proficient in formations?"
"Exactly." Zhou Yi nodded:
"However, the Situ family is no longer here, and the matter of visiting guests has also passed. We, as a couple, are ashamed to talk to others, and we really have no shame to talk about it."
More than ten years have passed since Rifeng Yuedao left. The Situ family on the island had been driven away a few years ago.
Speaking of which, it is all past history.
"Hey!"
Xu Yue waved his hands hurriedly, his attitude changed drastically:
"The Situ family has committed suicide. The two of them have done their best. I can't blame you for this. I didn't expect that your husband and wife would come here."
"Please come in quickly!"
"Please!"
He had heard of Zhou Yi's reputation.
The guest of the Situ family, a famous formation master, is expected to become a third-level formation master in his lifetime.
In comparison, Zizhen is inconspicuous.
Mainly because in other people's descriptions, Zizhen is only in the middle stage of Daoji. Now he is only showing his middle stage cultivation and hiding his strength.
Otherwise, it would make Xu Yue more enthusiastic.
certainly.
Even so, Zizhen cannot be compared with Zhou Yi.
There are many people who have reached the late stage of Daoji or even reached perfection, but the possibility of advancing to the golden elixir is slim, especially for casual cultivators of Daoji.
And Zhou Yi,
But he has great hope of becoming a third-level formation mage. Even if he fails, he will be very popular no matter where he goes with his ability.
"Why are you two here?"
Xu Yue said curiously:
"With your status and strength, you can still do a lot even if you stay in the deserted city. This place... is too remote."
"It's true." Zizhen replied:
"My cultivation method requires the use of Jiuyou Qi. Although there is condensed Jiuyou Qi for sale in the deserted city, it is not convenient after all."
"My husband is thinking about me, so I came here to see what's going on. I happened to think that Master Xu's cave is here, so coming uninvited would be too much of a disturbance."
The inheritance of the Five Poisons and Eight Evils in Batu Cave is inherently related to aliens, and Zizhen does need the energy of the Nine Netherworlds to temper his body, which is not a lie.
"That's it!" Xu Yue understood:
"It's not a big deal to disturb you. If you two can settle down nearby, Xu will be happy."
While talking, the three of them landed on the mountain.
The sight that caught their eyes made Zhou Yi and his two eyes brighten.
Xu Yue has taken the longevity elixir. Although he is over 260 years old, he still does not look old. He has lived in Xiaohan Mountain for three decades.
After such a long time, coupled with my good taste, Xiaohan Mountain has been built like a paradise.
The crane is auspicious!
Linghu holds the jade!
Decorated with pines and cypresses!
Flowing water and clear spring!
……
"What a view!" Zizhen clapped his hands lightly and exclaimed:
"I have seen many fellow caves, but this is the first time I have seen the scenery like Master Xu's coming out of the dust. It makes people forget to leave."
Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you both." Xu Yue narrowed his eyes. He was obviously quite proud of himself, and then he sighed softly and said with regret:
"Xu's place is okay except for the spiritual energy. After all, his cultivation was insufficient in his early years and the place he occupies is not a spiritual node."
"If we can set up a spirit gathering formation, it will add something to the scenery."
As he said that, he looked at Zhou Yi with a smile.
The intention is self-explanatory.
"This should be feasible." Zhou Yi glanced around and said slowly:
"Fellow Taoist, the mountains and rivers here are connected, and the energy is peaceful. With a little modification, we can attract the earth veins. Although it can't be done very well, it can be done with strong spiritual energy."
"It's true!" Xu Yue's eyes widened with joy on his face:
"If Taoist fellow Taoist can help Xu do it, I will... I will..."
His voice was excited, and he was speechless for a moment.
In fact, for him, it doesn't matter whether his spiritual energy is sufficient or not. After all, he has given up his thoughts on cultivation.
But future generations are different!
For more than two hundred years, even with the blessing of refined elixirs, the Xu family has not been able to give birth to another Taoist monk for several generations.
In addition to the lack of foundation building materials, the sparse spiritual energy on the mountain is also one of the reasons.
If the richness of spiritual energy can be increased, then the possibility of future generations attaining the foundation of Taoism will definitely increase a lot, and one's own family will be able to inherit it in an orderly manner.
This shows the importance of an array master.
"Master Xu, please don't get excited." Zhou Yi said hurriedly:
"Setting up a formation cannot be done overnight. We cannot rush this matter. Besides, we are new here, so I'm afraid we will have to worry about it a lot."
"No problem." Xu Yue waved his hand:
"If you two need anything, just ask, Xu will do his best."
He has lived in Xiaohan Mountain for so long, and as an alchemist, he has many interactions with his colleagues around him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local snake.
One sentence can help the two of them clear many obstacles.
Zhou Yi and Zizhen looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
…………
The next day.
After a night of repairs, the two of them followed Xu Yue onto a flying boat, pierced through the heavy clouds, and flew towards the 'Tian Jue Di'.
"The place where the Nine Nether Qi was born is called Nether Cave."
"The secluded cave is not always there. According to Xu's research, the secluded cave here was born more than 2,300 years ago. At that time, there was a barbarian tribe named Hui here."
"Overnight, the barbarian tribe disappeared. A bottomless cave appeared in the core area, and the energy of the Nine Netherworlds emerged from it."
Xu Yue stood on the bow of the boat and explained:
"The influence scope of Jiuyou Qi is not static, but is getting larger year by year, and sometimes it will skyrocket in a short period of time."
"Nowadays, almost all living creatures within hundreds of miles around the cave will be affected."
"Is this happening?" Zhou Yi frowned:
"Can the scope of influence only expand and not shrink?"
"As far as I know, no." Xu Yue shook his head and then said:
"I know what fellow Taoist is worried about. It's nothing more than that the influence of Jiuyou Qi is getting bigger and bigger. Couldn't it swallow up the entire world?"
"Fellow Taoist, don't worry, the world is vast and impossible."
Zhou Yi was dumbfounded.
True.
At the rate of expansion of several hundred miles in two thousand years, it would take countless tens of thousands of years just to invade a hundred thousand mountains. I was too unfounded to worry about it.
"Fellow Taoist." After thinking for a while, he asked:
"Has no one ever been to the depths of the cave to take a look?"
"Yes." Xu Yue raised his eyebrows and said:
"But the people who went there never came back, and it is said that they included a golden elixir master, so you two must not try this."
"Of course." Zhou Yi nodded.
"Not only the secluded points, but also try to stay away when the Nine Nether Qi expands, otherwise you may be in danger." Xu Yue looked solemn:
"It is said..."
"It's just said that the dark cave will bring things that don't belong here."
Hearing this, both of them raised their eyebrows.
"We're here!"
While talking, Xujie stopped the flying boat, and Xu Yue stretched out his hand to point to a mountain below.
"The name of this mountain is Fengqi Mountain, which was given by the former owner Fairy Bai Feng. Unfortunately, Fairy Bai Feng went out and was in danger more than ten years ago, so the mountain became empty."
"The scenery of Fengqi Mountain is nice and the spiritual energy is sufficient. However, it is a little far away from the secluded cave. Xu does not recommend that you two settle here."
"It doesn't matter." Zi Zhen lowered his head with a satisfied look on his face:
"I think it's okay."
"Then let's go here." Zhou Yi nodded and waved his hand, and more than a hundred formation flags appeared out of thin air and fell towards the mountain below.
In an instant, the formation flags were inserted into various places on the mountain peak in order.
"Get up!"
With a flexion of his fingers, the clouds covered the fog and the hidden formation was driven. The thick fog grew out of thin air and enveloped the entire Fengqi Mountain in the blink of an eye.
Such a method also amazed Xu Yue.
"Now."
After checking the formation, Zhou Yi said:
"Let's catch some strange animals and come over to see them." (End of Chapter)
