Chapter 186 Speculation and Sensation, Lu Fang: In the Immortal Realm? ! "Boom!" Almost immediately after Jiajing finished speaking, Lu Fang felt the ground shaking, as if some giant creature was awakening from deep underground. Lu Fang felt that the ground beneath his feet suddenly became less solid and undulated like waves. He knew that his master had already begun to send everything within a radius of two miles into the fairyland. Thinking of this, Lu Fang stood up immediately, and the internal technique "Qi-inducing Technique" began to work at this moment. As the spiritual energy circulated in his body, the violent shaking and dizziness disappeared. Jiajing stood there, feeling it all carefully. Previously he had entered the world of cultivation on his own, but this time an entire mountain was sent over there. He was looking forward to seeing what changes would happen. At the same time, in the suburbs of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the part of the space where Jiajing and Lu Fang were at the moment was also separated, and this part was slowly rising. Above the sky, the clouds seemed to change because of the sudden movement, and began to roll and pile up. The temperature in the air seemed to drop suddenly at this moment, and a strange energy began to resonate in the valley. The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and although it was still daytime, it quickly darkened, as if night had fallen early.
The originally solid soil of the mountain seemed to be pulled away from the ground by some mysterious force. Dust flew everywhere, trees fell to the ground, and birds and animals fled in panic. The mutant gray wolf that was preparing to ambush Jiajing and Lu Fang was suddenly startled by the huge noise, and turned around and flew out into the jungle behind it. The beast's instinct made it very scared, and it had to escape from here quickly, otherwise it would most likely die. At this moment, the whole mountain seemed to come alive, slowly but inexorably moving away from its original position. As the mountain rose, Jiajing clearly felt that this time was different from his previous times of entering the world of immortal cultivation. The previous spatial fluctuations were all around him. But this time he was in the mountains, and the range of space fluctuations covered the entire mountain. However, he could clearly feel that if he left now and did not plan to go to the world of immortal cultivation, then this space fluctuation would stop immediately. If I leave and just send this mountain into the world of immortal cultivation, the spatial fluctuations will only revolve around the mountain. "From the perspective of the entire Ming Dynasty, there is actually no difference between me and this mountain in front of me. We are both part of the natal creature, but entering the world of immortal cultivation is because of me!" "This is a magical power that belongs to me alone." Jiajing regarded his ability to travel through the world of immortal cultivation as a magical power. After sorting out the last doubt in his mind, Jiajing relaxed. Traveling into the world of immortal cultivation is his greatest reliance. Jiajing does not want any accidents to happen because he is bound to his natal object, a magical power that belongs only to him. "Buzz!" When the space fluctuations of a larger range began, the next moment Lu Fang only felt a sudden dizziness in his head, and then his consciousness went black and he fainted. Not long after Jiajing brought the entire mountain and Lu Fang into the world of immortal cultivation, several figures suddenly appeared and rushed towards them. These people were none other than the Xianwu Guards who were also in the suburbs of Daming and were responsible for clearing out the mutated spirit beasts. However, at this moment, when these Immortal Guards stood on a peak that seemed to be cut from top to bottom and had a stone wall as smooth as a mirror, after seeing the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but gasp, their expressions full of shock and disbelief. All that was left was a huge circular hole in the area where the mountain had originally been. A huge gap suddenly appeared in the previously continuous mountain range. The rocks were exposed, as if they had been cut by a huge knife, forming a deep rift. The width of this rift reaches several miles, and the depth cannot be seen at a glance, as if it is an abyss leading to an unknown world.
Looking down from a high altitude, you will find that the originally intact mountain seems to have been forcibly dug out by some mysterious force. It is very abrupt and shocking! The hillside that was once covered with lush vegetation is now left with only bare rock sections, the colors of which appear unusually bright because of exposure to the air. Some plants were torn off when the mountain was pulled away. Broken branches and leaves, and the carcasses of animals that were unfortunately cut in half, were scattered on the edge of the rift, telling of the tragic scene that had happened before. The air was filled with a smell mixed with blood-soaked dust and plant juice, making people feel heavy to breathe. The lands on both sides of the rift, which were originally closely connected, are now obviously misaligned. Some places collapsed due to loss of support, forming small pits. Not far away, the animals that were frightened and turned back seemed to be frightened by this sudden change. The surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional bird song breaking the tranquility. The stream that originally flowed at the foot of the mountain has lost its source, and the flow has become weaker and even dried up in some places. Some animals that rely on water for survival have begun to look for new habitats. In the sky, the originally azure color was obscured by thick dust. The sunlight shone through the dust, forming beams of light, adding a doomsday atmosphere to the ruins. There was a feeling of oppression in the air. After seeing this scene, several Immortal Guards quickly calmed down their shock. The leading Immortal Guard, whose cultivation had reached the third level of the acquired realm, immediately issued an order, saying, "You stay and guard here. Do not let any living creatures get close to this place. I will report it to the higher authorities!" "Yes!" About half an hour later, several sounds of breaking through the air were heard. Yan Song, Yan Shifan, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu, Yu Dayou and others arrived one after another. When they saw the huge tiankeng in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp. It was such a shocking scene. Except for Wang Chonggu, who had witnessed the immortal's action and the collapse of the Yinshan Mountains in the battle to bury Yinshan, and had seen the same scene before, it was the first time for everyone else to see it. However, even though Wang Chonggu had witnessed the shocking scene of the destruction of Yinshan Mountain, he still felt his scalp tingling when he saw such a round and tragic sinkhole. "What happened?" At this time, a sound of breaking air was heard not far away, and Prince Yu's voice also sounded. However, when they saw the sinkhole below that looked like someone had dug a piece out of it, both of them subconsciously widened their eyes. "Could it be that some magical beast has appeared?" Yu Dayou beside Hu Zongxian said in a deep voice. "If we talk about the size of this pit, it is indeed nothing compared to the horrific scene at Yinshan Mountain at that time," Wang Chonggu shook his head slightly and said, "But it is so round and neat, as if someone drew a circle on the earth and dug it out... Tsk!" Wang Chonggu smacked his lips and said, "I'm afraid only the immortal can do it personally..." "So this place was created by an immortal?" Gao Gong looked at Wang Chonggu and asked. "Maybe..." Wang Chonggu said uncertainly. "If it was really done by an immortal, then why is it like this?" King Jing frowned and looked at the sinkhole below and said to himself: "Could it be that there is something different here?" Since this matter concerns immortals, everyone's nerves suddenly became sensitive at this moment. After all, it is worthy for the immortal to suddenly take action and dig up a piece of land in Daming. No matter how you look at it, this place seems to be very unusual. There must be something here that is worthy of the immortal's attention and action. It is even possible that what is here is also available in other places in Daming. If they can find it in advance, then it means that the immortals may come to them. If they can offer treasures to the immortals... But soon after, everyone suppressed this idea in their hearts. They all knew that in today's Ming Dynasty, the only one who could contact the immortals was the emperor. What would the emperor think if he knew that they had contacted the immortals privately? For a moment, everyone was startled, and then they all suppressed these thoughts in their hearts.
Of course, they are not sure now whether this was done by an immortal, but with such a skill, it can only be done by an immortal, right? Moreover, it is only the thoughts of the immortals that are incomprehensible to them, and there is no clue to follow. "No matter what, our father must be informed of this matter as soon as possible!" Prince Yu spoke first. Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Regardless of what they think in their hearts, this incident happened in the deep mountains outside the capital. The emperor must know about it, and he would not dare to hide it even if he had ten times the courage! Soon, after instructing Lu Bing to seal off the place, Prince Yu and Prince Jing headed towards Yuxi Palace, while everyone in the cabinet left. "Dad, what do you think about what happened today?" After returning home, Yan Song, Yan Shifan and Yan Shaoting, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, gathered together again in the thatched cottage in Lingtian courtyard. Hearing this, Yan Song did not answer his son Yan Shifan. He just looked up as he sat down, and then waved to Yan Shaoting who was waiting on the side. Upon seeing this, Yan Shaoting immediately served the spiritual tea. "There must be something in that place that has attracted the attention of the immortal!" Yan Shifan said anxiously: "Dad, think about it. The capital has just been paved with a spiritual vein. Because of this, the entire capital, and even the surrounding prefectures and counties, were all covered with spiritual rain. Many wild animals, flowers, and trees in the deep mountains and old forests have become spiritual animals and plants because of this." Yan Shifan paused for a moment, then continued, "Do you still remember the reason why you speculated that the emperor wanted to develop the Immortal Dynasty, vigorously develop spiritual soil, and cultivate spiritual resources?" "Now everyone knows that the emperor has connections with the immortals in the fairy world...but there is one thing we still don't understand!" Hearing this, Yan Song still did not speak, but just raised his eyes and stared at Yan Shifan. "That's why the immortals want to help His Majesty!" Yan Shifan said confidently, "It must be that after the Ming Dynasty developed into an immortal dynasty, it would be useful to the immortals, and this use is not only in terms of spiritual resources. This is the main reason why the immortals want to help the Ming Dynasty!" Yan Shifan was very confident at this moment. He felt that he had guessed the real secret behind the emperor. "Shao Ting," looking at his son Yan Shifan who felt that he was ready again, Yan Song lowered his eyebrows, waved his wrist and said, "I'm tired, help your father out..." "Dad!" Seeing his father's attitude, Yan Shifan's confident face suddenly froze. Before he could say something, he heard Yan Song say, "Hurry up and implement the reform of 'Qisi Reform'." "Father, let's go." Yan Shaoting said, and was about to go forward to help Yan Shifan, but he was shaken off his sleeves and said, "I haven't reached that point yet." After that, he snorted and left. He was very dissatisfied with his father's indifferent look. Isn't it good to know the secrets behind the immortals and the emperor? As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Even if you don't want to take a chance, it's always good to know some things, right? It's always better than being blind. You know everything that others should and shouldn't know, and you will be prepared for anything. You are so good that you don’t prepare anything. Don’t forget that you are still tall. If the sky collapses one day, you will be crushed to death and you won’t even know why! Prince Yu and Prince Jing ran towards the West Garden but were stopped at the door by Chen Hong. "Chen Hong, you dare to stop me?" Seeing Chen Hong becoming more and more presumptuous, Prince Yu's face suddenly turned black. "I'm sorry, Your Highness," Chen Hong immediately apologized, lowering his posture and said, "There really is no summons from the Emperor. No matter the two princes or the elders in the cabinet, they cannot disturb the Emperor's meditation. This rule has always been in place. Even I, the servants, cannot step into the Yuxi Palace without a summons." At this point, Chen Hong's face suddenly showed some difficulty, and he said: "Your Highnesses, please don't embarrass me!" Although he could be stern in front of everyone in the cabinet, he dared not show the slightest disrespect to Prince Yu and Prince Jing. After all, he is a royal slave, and the two princes are his masters. If the slave dares to be disrespectful to his master, he will have no chance of survival. "Humph!" Seeing Chen Hong like this, Prince Yu threw his sleeves and said, "Why don't you go and report it?" What Chen Hong said was indeed right. He was in a hurry at the time and forgot about it. In recent days, his father has summoned the cabinet more often and has begun to govern the country. The Ming Dynasty is unprecedentedly prosperous, and he has forgotten that his father is now, even though he has reached the late stage of foundation building, he still has not abolished the previous rules, and Yuxi Palace is still where his father practices Taoism!
"Yes, I'll go right away." Chen Hong said with a flattering smile on his face, then quickly turned back. Yuxi Palace had young eunuchs who were specially on duty and had practiced the Immortal Martial Arts. After hearing Chen Hong's report, these young eunuchs naturally knew that Lu Fang was not there, so they could only say: "Please tell the two princes, Eunuch Chen, that the emperor and the old ancestor may be in retreat and it is inconvenient to disturb them. If the emperor and the old ancestor come out of retreat, we will report it as soon as possible." "Yeah." Chen Hong nodded and glanced at the closed door of Yuxi Palace. He was not surprised by the eunuch's answer. It was normal for people who practiced Taoism to be in seclusion at any time. As he delegated the tasks at hand recently, he would also go into seclusion from time to time. After all, the future was the Immortal Dynasty, and it would definitely not be a bad thing if his cultivation level was raised as soon as possible. "Is the emperor in seclusion?" Upon hearing Chen Hong's report, Prince Yu frowned, and after looking at Prince Jing, he ignored Chen Hong, flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. "I respectfully send off your highnesses." Ignoring Chen Hong's voice behind him, Prince Yu looked at Prince Jing, "What do you think of this matter?" "Me?" Seeing Prince Yu asking him, Prince Jing pointed at himself, then took a deep breath, glanced back at Yuxi Palace, and said, "I'm wondering if this was done by an immortal." "Do you doubt our father?" Prince Yu looked at his fourth brother who was always bold. "I just have a suspicion," King Jing shook his head slightly, raised his hand and scratched his beard with his thumb, and said, "If it was done by my father, what was his purpose? If it was done by an immortal, then it must be the celestial pit, or there must be something in the Ming Dynasty that is worthy of the immortal's attention." "We are just guessing anyway. When the time comes, we can ask Father and he will know everything. Why bother guessing?" "Besides, if I guess right, it's fine. If I guess wrong, my father will be unhappy for no reason. Instead of that, I might as well focus on my cultivation..." After Prince Jing finished his words, he smiled, patted Prince Yu on the shoulder, turned around and strode away. "Fourth brother, you seem to have changed..." Looking at Prince Jing's back, Prince Yu frowned. What King Jing said was indeed reasonable, but it was so reasonable, and even sounded a bit like words of enlightenment, but it actually came from the mouth of King Jing, his mortal enemy. It was too abnormal. For a moment, King Yu had no time to think about the tiankeng. For him, the most important thing is to improve his cultivation and complete his own power layout before the Ming Dynasty fully enters the Immortal Dynasty, while keeping a close eye on King Jing's every move. Thinking of this, Prince Yu also left quickly. …… In the world of cultivating immortals, late at night. "Buzz!" As violent space ripples arose, a piece of open space deep in the outer reaches of the Endless Mountains to the north of the Endless Forest suddenly shook violently, and the earth made a violent roar at this moment. A mountain covering an area of about 20 acres appeared out of nowhere, and many ancient beasts were buried alive by this sudden appearance of the mountain. Of course, some powerful ancient beasts whose cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building sensed the threat at the first moment and fled instantly. At this moment, the entire periphery of the Endless Mountains was in chaos. The huge roar and the sound of the earth cracking could be heard from far away, alarming many powerful ancient beasts and monks. Previously, Jiajing had buried a part of his life deep outside the Endless Mountains to provide spiritual energy to the Ming Dynasty, so this time when he entered the world of cultivating immortals, the place where he appeared was here. Of course, as early as the previous few times when he buried his natal chart, Jiajing had already discovered that he could use the traces buried by his natal chart to allow himself to enter a different place each time. Otherwise, if every time he entered it was the sect's inheritance pavilion, or his own residence, then he would never send a mountain into the world of immortal cultivation, and then he would not be able to explain it clearly. Unless he has completely taken control of the sect, has become the one who has the final say, and has the power to not worry about being coveted by Li Changqing and remain indifferent. Although Jiajing chose to descend to the deep periphery of the Endless Mountains, this place is still the periphery after all. When the war to open up the wilderness started, those powerful ancient beasts all left, but many ancient beasts still stayed.
Previously, the wild market of the Daming Immortal Sect was completed, and some of the outskirts of the Endless Mountains were occupied. Because of the construction of the wild market, some independent cultivators often go in and out of the Endless Mountains to hunt ancient beasts, or kill people and rob, making a lot of shady "money" in the wild market. Late at night, the sudden movement deep in the outskirts of the Endless Mountains naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators. Somewhere outside the Endless Mountains. "Brother, what's that noise?!" A middle-aged female cultivator stood up as soon as she heard the sound, and said to the middle-aged male cultivator next to her who also stood up and looked towards the depths of the Endless Mountains. "Could it be that some ruins or secret realms have appeared?" The middle-aged male cultivator said, throwing out his flying sword and saying: "Junior sister, let's go and take a look. If there is a secret realm, maybe this is our chance!" A flying sword disappeared, and the two headed towards the source of the sound. Of course, at this moment, there were many sword lights, even flying shuttles, flying magic weapons, etc., cutting through the night sky and heading towards the place where the sound came from. Due to the popularity of the wild market, it can be said that quite a few independent cultivators and their forces have gathered around it. At this moment, these people were like cats that had smelled blood, excitedly heading towards the depths of the Endless Mountains. Jiajing slowly opened his eyes and looked around. It was indeed the same mountain as before, but beside him, Lu Fang was now in a coma. This reminded Jiajing of the first time he entered the world of immortal cultivation. His body adapted to this world and he was also in a coma. "Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" At this moment, suddenly, a series of sounds of breaking through the air were heard from all directions. "It seems that the commotion here has attracted a lot of attention..." Thinking of this, Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang, and with an idea in his mind, he directly pulled Lu Fang away quickly. After leaving the range of the mountain, Jiajing cast two "Breath-Harming Talismans" on himself and Lu Fang, then found a high place and quietly watched the monks who fell into the mountain from time to time. Of course, he also extended his spiritual sense to carefully observe the movements of the mountain and the monks flying quickly from all directions. "The early stage of foundation building, the middle stage of Qi training, the middle stage of Qi training, the middle stage of foundation building..." Jiajing extended his spiritual sense and observed the aura emanating from the cultivators who had landed near the mountain in the distance. He silently counted the cultivation levels of these people and found that most of the cultivators' cultivation levels remained in the Qi training stage. Among them, there is not a single one in the late stage of foundation building, and there are also very few in the middle stage of foundation building, only two, and the rest are in the early stage of foundation building. However, Jiajing was not surprised at all. There are a group of independent cultivators living near the wild market, and their cultivation levels are generally not very high. Those who can reach the late stage of foundation building are already taller than the short ones and are at the same level as the seniors. Normally, only the last one will take action. However, the fact that he did not discover it does not mean that there are no people like him who are in the late stage of foundation building and watching in secret. As for whether there are any Jindan-stage cultivators, Jiajing is not sure, but it is highly likely that there are no cultivators of this level. Such great cultivators are either in the Endless Mountains, or are the heads or elders of sects or families. Moreover, near the Four Square City of Great Wilderness, the highest level of cultivation is generally the Golden Core Stage. This was the result of the academy's deliberate arrangement. Therefore, the upper limit of cultivation for the lower-level fights was the late stage of foundation building. "Hoo!" At this moment, Lu Fang suddenly sat up and began to breathe heavily. When she saw Jiajing beside her, she immediately said, "Master, I just..." "I know..." Jiajing waved his hand, indicating that Lu Fang didn't need to say more, and then signaled Lu Fang to look forward.
Following Jiajing's gaze, when he saw the flying lights all over the sky and the occasional shouts, Lu Fang's pupils suddenly shrank, his breathing stagnated, and he said: "Master, have we reached the fairyland?!" "..." (End of this chapter)
