Now that Old Man Evil had fallen to such a state, he no longer cared about the Stone Forest Rats. Instead, he was focused on helping Luo Zheng.
After he asked Luo Zheng to put away the rat carcass, he guided Luo Zheng through the narrow cave. When Luo Zheng walked out of the cave, he was already in a mountain stream a hundred miles away from Meng Village.
This path was originally connected to the cave underneath Meng Village. Many years ago, Old Man Evil had dug this path using the 'Art of Getting Lost'. The path extended and changed, forming an unsolvable maze underground.
In the past, some villagers of Meng Village had mistakenly entered the cave, but they were unable to solve the maze and were trapped to death. On his way out, Luo Zheng saw a few skeletons. Most of them belonged to the villagers of Meng Village who had lost their way …
After crossing the mountain stream, Luo Zheng returned to Meng Village. The Sun Moon Fort Chief and the group of warriors were still standing on the same spot, waiting for him.
When they saw the collapse of Meng Village, they knew something was wrong. The Sun Moon Fort Chief led his men up the mountain. Looking at the bottomless pit below Meng Village, no one dared to go down to investigate.
Without seeing Old Man Evil, none of them dared to leave. They could only wait here.
Half a day later, they saw Luo Zheng coming out alone.
"Young … Young Master Luo, where did you come from? Have you seen my Patriarch? "The Sun Moon Fort Chief stared at Luo Zheng and asked.
With Old Man Evil's return, if he could rebuild the seventy-two forts, the Sun Moon Fort Chief would be put in an important position. His day of attaining the Dao of Divinity was just around the corner. Naturally, he was concerned about Old Man Evil's condition.
"You mean Old Man Evil?" Luo Zheng scratched his head and said, "I almost fell to my death. In a daze, I walked out of a cave. As for where he is now, I don't know …"
"You don't know?" The Sun Moon Fort Chief and his men looked at each other. Seeing Luo Zheng's confused face, they didn't worry about him and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, they discussed how to get a rope to go down and look for him.
The Evil Old Man's sigh sounded in Luo Zheng's mind.
He had indeed returned to the Vast Sky Territory to bring glory to the 72 Strongholds. After all, he could not bear to see the Sun Moon Stronghold in such a state. However, the Evil Old Man did not have the ability to do anything now. He could only let Luo Zheng deal with him and let them fend for themselves.
The villagers of Meng Village had also returned one after another. When they saw what had happened to their village, all of them were filled with grief.
Luckily, these villagers had evacuated from Meng Village in advance. If they hadn't, the collapse of Meng Village would have killed more than half of the villagers.
Since the Sun and Moon Village was no longer looking for trouble with them, these God's people had no choice but to build new houses on the other side of the hill. The vegetable fields they used to live in were still there, and Meng Village could be rebuilt.
Now that Luo Zheng's dantian had been unsealed, there was no need for him to stay here.
After Luo Zheng came to Meng Village, Xiaowen's understanding of the Martial Dao had improved by leaps and bounds. However, because it had only been a short time, Xiaowen had not made any breakthroughs in his cultivation. However, the Martial Dao that Luo Zheng had imparted to him had obviously surpassed that of his elder brother, Xiaowen. Of course, Xiaowen was reluctant to let Luo Zheng leave. However, he also understood that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to follow Luo Zheng. He could only secretly encourage himself in his heart. If he could become a Divine Martial Artist one day, he would leave this mountain village immediately and look for his Master, Luo Tianxing!
Half a month later …
In a nameless mountain to the north of the Vast Sky Territory.
Luo Zheng stood in front of a protruding mountain wall halfway up the mountain. He could see the snowy plains in the distance.
The Vast Sky Territory was only a small territory in the Divine Realm. However, it was still so huge that it was beyond Luo Zheng's imagination. The most terrifying thing was that he could not fly in the air, let alone use Greater Teleportation.
With Luo Zheng's walking speed, it would probably take him more than a thousand years to traverse the Vast Sky Territory on foot …
"How far is it?" Luo Zheng asked.
"Soon. It's on top of this mountain …" Old Man Extreme Evil said.
Back then, Old Man Extreme Evil had hidden some things in the mountains to the north of the Vast Sky Territory. What Luo Zheng was looking for now was the belongings that Old Man Extreme Evil had left behind seven divine eras ago.
"Caw caw caw …"
Luo Zheng stopped in front of the mountain wall for a while. Dozens of strange-looking fire birds flew toward Luo Zheng.
He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light!
"Caw —"
Those fire birds let out a series of miserable shrieks and fell into a ten-thousand-foot-tall cliff.
Using soul suppression to kill these ferocious beasts in the Divine Realm was the fastest and most convenient method.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're just a Realm Lord, but your soul is already so powerful. When you condense a Godhead in the future, how powerful will your soul be if it advances further?"
Old Man Extreme Evil said in his mind.
Luo Zheng didn't reply. Old Man Extreme Evil knew some of his secrets. He even knew that he was the son of Luo Xiao and had a grudge against Mu Hai. However, it didn't mean that he would reveal everything to Old Man Extreme Evil, at least not now.
He suddenly stomped on the ground and jumped twenty to twenty feet high. Like an agile monkey, he hung on a rock at the top of the mountain wall. Then, he exerted strength in his arms and swung up again, flipping over and climbing to the next platform.
After climbing like this for two days, Luo Zheng finally reached the top of this nameless mountain.
"Do you see that triangular rock?" Old Man Extreme Evil reminded.
Luo Zheng looked around and saw a triangular rock. It was like a mini pyramid at the top of the mountain.
Following the method taught by Old Man Extreme Evil, Luo Zheng approached the rock and pressed down. At the same time, Luo Zheng smiled and said, "It won't be taken away by someone again, right?"
Four days ago, Luo Zheng had also done the same thing on another mountain under Old Man Extreme Evil's guidance. However, the item on that mountain had already been taken away. Even though Old Man Extreme Evil had hidden the item well, seven divine eras was too long ago. It was inevitable that someone would unintentionally find it …
"It shouldn't be!" Old Man Extreme Evil gritted his teeth. He wasn't very confident.
Just as he finished speaking, the triangular rock sank down. Following a muffled sound, a small pit appeared in front of Luo Zheng. In this pit, there were some black discs!
Luo Zheng jumped into the pit and picked up one of the black discs. He held it in his hand and examined it carefully.
These black discs were rough to the touch. Luo Zheng could faintly feel that they contained some kind of special power. However, Luo Zheng couldn't understand this power and couldn't tell what use it had. "What the hell is this? A magic treasure or a rare material? "
"Neither!" Old Man Extreme Evil said calmly. "This is the currency circulating in the divine realm, Shenwu coins!"
"Shenwu coins?" Luo Zheng raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "And there are only a few hundred of them … You want me to travel for half a month?"
Previously, Luo Zheng had planned to go directly to the "Mirror City" in the north of the Vast Sky Territory. Mirror City was one of the seven divine cities in the north of the Vast Sky Territory. However, Old Man Extreme Evil insisted that Luo Zheng find something and told Luo Zheng that without these things, Luo Zheng wouldn't be able to move even a single step!
"Hehe, don't underestimate Shenwu coins. Some True Gods' entire wealth might only be worth a few hundred Shenwu coins." Old Man Extreme Evil chuckled. "Without Shenwu coins, even if you reach Mirror City, you won't be able to leave the Vast Sky Territory for at least eight to ten years. Without these things, you won't be able to move even a single step in the divine realm!"
Luo Zheng turned the Shenwu coins over and over again.
The currency of the universe was True Yuan Stones and Zhen Yuanyu. They were both currency and consumables. They were condensed from the heaven and earth's essence and contained the purest form of True Yuan. Directly absorbing them could replenish the True Yuan in one's dantian.
As Old Man Extreme Evil said, Shenwu coins were the currency circulating among True Gods. True Gods didn't need to consume True Yuan under normal circumstances. They relied on the power of faith in their inner worlds.
"Can Shenwu coins replenish True Yuan? Or can they replenish power of faith? "Luo Zheng asked.
Old Man Extreme Evil shook his head. "Neither."
"Then what's the use of Shenwu coins …" Luo Zheng asked again.
No matter what kind of currency it was, it had to have a strong attraction to True Gods. Otherwise, it would just be a pile of trash that no one would want!
Who knew that the Evil Old Man would keep them in suspense. He chuckled. "Shenwu Coins are too useful. Those floating island wealthy families in the Sea of Time fight over them every year. It can be said that having Shenwu Coins is equivalent to having everything in Divine Dominion! As for what it's used for, you'll naturally find out in the future. It's useless even if you know now! "
"Having Shenwu coins is equivalent to having everything in the divine realm?"
Luo Zheng stared at the black round piece, his expression becoming more and more strange. This was too exaggerated and didn't conform to common sense at all.
In the universe, only low-level martial artists fought tooth and nail for True Yuan Stones and Zhen Yuanyu. High-level martial artists didn't need them at all. After all, there weren't many times when they urgently needed to replenish True Yuan after a battle. Moreover, by this time, the outcome of the battle had already been decided. Thus, Realm Lords and Celestial Venerables only needed to carry hundreds of Zhen Yuanyu with them.
Therefore, when high level martial artists exchanged items, they usually bartered for other items. True essence jades weren't very valuable in their eyes …
This black round piece couldn't be eaten or drunk. How could it be used as currency in the divine realm?
