Yue Qianchou laughed. His master was right. This old man had finally made up his mind to break through his cultivation.
"That's not right!" Nongzhu suddenly slapped her thigh and pointed at Yue Qianchou's nose. "With your cultivation, we left Xuan Xuan Island right after each other. How did you arrive at the Demon Region before me? There must be something behind this. Tell me honestly. "
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou was startled. This was really hard to explain. He did come back before Yue Qianchou, and not just a little bit earlier. He had already slept soundly on the lap of a beauty. He rubbed his nose and smiled. "I've cultivated a magic art for escaping. I'm good at speed. That's why I came back earlier than you." Since he couldn't explain it clearly, he could only use self-deprecation to keep it a secret.
Nongzhu looked at him from head to toe. She said doubtfully, "No wonder you're so good at escaping. What magic art is it? Tell me. "
"Haha! You'll know when you have the chance. "Yue Qianchou smiled perfunctorily.
Seeing that he didn't want to tell her, Nongzhu didn't turn on him. She stood up and stared at him in silence for a while. Then she said slowly, "I trust Bi Changchun's judgment. You'll have to rely on yourself from now on …" She took out a jade archive and threw it to Yue Qianchou. "I've set up a Message Formation in the Purple Bamboo Forest. There are coordinates in the jade archive. You can look for me if you need anything. At least, I won't leave the Purple Bamboo Forest for a while. "
"You're going back to the South Sea now?" Yue Qianchou stood up and followed Nongzhu to the door. After stepping out of the door, Nongzhu said with a serious expression, "Once Bi Changchun leaves, you won't be able to hold on for long. Sooner or later, you'll be exposed. I have to calm down and break through my cultivation to protect myself. If one day, the Demon Region really … At least the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South Sea can be your home. "
Yue Qianchou laughed and said, "I'm not as pessimistic as you think, am I?" Nongzhu didn't want to argue with him, so she raised her hand and said, "Be careful, I'm leaving."
"Wait!" Yue Qianchou stopped him and took out two storage pouches. "These are gifts for Zi Yi and Furong, one for each of them."
Nongzhu was startled when she received it. She then injected her Divine Sense into it to see what it was. After seeing it, she was stunned for a long time, and the muscles on her face twitched. There were 200 million high-grade spirit stones in each of the two storage bags. This was the first time he had seen someone give money to a woman as a gift. Moreover, he was very generous, giving 400 million high-grade spirit stones in one go.
Nongzhu gradually came to her senses. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Tell me honestly, how much money do you have?"
Yue Qianchou waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "It's not a lot, it's just so-so! It should be enough to spend in this lifetime. If it's not enough, I'll just earn more. "
Nongzhu was speechless. The "so-so" from this money-grubber's mouth must be a frighteningly huge amount. It was better not to know, lest she was provoked. He was a rich man!
He watched as Yue Qianchou took out another jade archive and inserted something into it. Then, he took out two porcelain bottles and handed them to Miao Yi, saying, "One of the bottles contains the Limit Breaking Pill, and the other contains the Seven Treasures Pill. There's a method to use it in this jade archive. Help me bring it to Furong. It can help her raise her cultivation level to the early stage of Tribulation Passing.
Nongzhu took it and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that this thing can poison people to death? Why did you give it to Furong? "Although he knew that Yue Qianchou wouldn't harm Furong, he still had doubts and couldn't help asking.
"There are real and fake pills." Yue Qianchou explained weakly. Nongzhu suddenly became furious and said, "How dare you sell fake pills to harm people!"
Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes and said, "Which eye of yours saw me sell fake pills? You can't talk nonsense."
"You … go!" Nongzhu was so angry that she flung her sleeve and flew away …
Looking at the black dot disappearing into the horizon, Yue Qianchou shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then, he frowned and continued strolling. A cool breeze caressed his face, and the grass was fragrant. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the edge of the Thousand Miles Lake. Looking at the sparkling surface of the lake, he couldn't help but be startled. His eyes turned, and no one knew what he was thinking. Without hesitation, he jumped into the lake. "Splash!"
Water splashed on the surface of the lake, creating ripples. His figure disappeared from the surface of the lake. Under the water, Yue Qianchou occasionally spat out a string of bubbles from the corner of his mouth. He dived head first into the bottom of the lake. The water was clear, and schools of fish could be seen swimming in the lake. Some of the bolder fishes even ran over to play around him as he dived, diving down with him …
After diving for nearly a hundred meters, the light in the water gradually weakened, and it became dark in front of him. The water pressure was getting stronger and stronger. The fish following him didn't seem to be deep-water fish. They all swung their tails and swam back upstream. Yue Qianchou also felt a little uncomfortable. He pointed his finger downward and began to use the Water Formula. The surrounding water quickly separated, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a bubble, sinking rapidly.
The surroundings became darker and darker, so dark that not a single ray of light could be seen. The surroundings were extremely quiet, giving people a terrifying sense of oppression. Yue Qianchou himself didn't know how deep he had dived. He estimated that it was about a thousand meters! He felt that using the Water Formula to repel the water pressure was also getting stronger and stronger. The huge pressure around him kept squeezing, and he gradually felt that he couldn't bear it. It was obvious that with his current cultivation, it would be difficult for him to withstand too much pressure when using the Water Art.
Fortunately, the Water Formula was miraculous. It could strip the oxygen contained in the water for him to breathe. Otherwise, it would be even more uncomfortable.
Just as he was hesitating whether to give up, a faint white light appeared below him. Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up. It seemed that he was not far from the target he wanted to check out. He gritted his teeth, endured the pressure, and dived deeper. The light below grew bigger and bigger, but his face was also flushed red. The pressure was too great, and he couldn't bear it. But he still persisted …
When he started to feel dizzy, Yue Qianchou didn't dare to go any further. Looking down, the target was only about a hundred meters away from him. Unfortunately, the pressure was too great, and he couldn't get close at all. This was also because he could use the Water Formula to repel the water. Otherwise, with his cultivation, he wouldn't be able to reach this position.
At the bottom of the tranquil lake lay a serene pearl. Under the backdrop of the darkness, it emitted a gentle white light, illuminating the surrounding topography of the lake. There were rare deep-water fishes leisurely swimming around. Rather than calling it a pearl, it was more like an upside-down bowl. It was white and smooth like jade, but in reality, it was just a light barrier.
This light barrier at the bottom of the lake was at least a few hundred meters wide and a hundred meters tall. It was in a semi-circular arc. From the surrounding topography, it could be seen that this place was originally a valley. The surrounding shadows rose and fell like a mountain range. Not far away, there was a tall, round pillar-like mountain …
Yue Qianchou looked up the pillar-like mountain and was immediately shocked. Judging from the direction, this should be the lowest base of Obedient Island. He felt that it was a little strange. Most mountains were cone-shaped. How could a mountain grow like this? The circumference of the top and bottom was about the same, and it was as straight as a pillar. Furthermore, this height wasn't low! It was at least two kilometers, right?
Such a scene couldn't help but make people think of the wooden fish and the wooden mallet used to strike it. The light barrier was like a wooden fish, and the pillar supporting Obedient Island was like the wooden mallet used to strike it. How could there be such a strange topography? Yue Qianchou was puzzled no matter how he thought about it.
After hesitating for a while, Yue Qianchou felt like his ears were ringing and the dizziness was getting stronger. The distance between him and the water had already shrunk to less than half a foot. If he stayed any longer, he would be in danger …
Yue Qianchou looked down at the light barrier and shook his head in pity. According to Bi Changchun, the entrance to the Demon Realm was sealed by the Immortal Emperor and the Underworld King, and the light barrier was a seal that the Myriad Swords Demon Monarch added later on. In other words, the entrance to the Demon Realm was sealed by two seals. Even with Bi Changchun's cultivation, he couldn't break through the outer layer of the Myriad Swords Demon Monarch's seal. Yue Qianchou originally wanted to see if he could go in, but he didn't expect that even approaching would be difficult.
After working for a while in vain, Yue Qianchou helplessly disappeared into the water. A big bubble broke into several pieces and floated up …
On the mountainside behind the Mountain God Temple where the leaders of the Green Gang and Hong Gang were hiding, Yue Qianchou stood in front of the plain and stared at the Mountain God Temple below. Because of the raging war in Huaxia, Shi Wenguang's army had already reached the vicinity. The common people were in a panic and didn't dare to go out. Thus, the Mountain God Temple seemed very deserted. Gu Qingyun and Hong Qi stood behind him and reported the recent developments in Huaxia …
One-third of Huaxia's territory had already been captured by Shi Wenguang's army, and the poor people who had been oppressed by the imperial court for a long time could no longer bear the corvee labor and taxes brought by the war, so they all formed groups and rose up in rebellion. For a time, the uprising of the poor people was like a spark that started a prairie fire, making the precarious Li Dynasty even worse. If there was no strong support, the dynasty would collapse, and defeat would be set in stone …
On Wuji Island, the forces of various countries increased the mobilization of manpower, and a large number of cultivators continuously gathered on Wuji Island. In the other countries that were adjacent to Huaxia, there were also a large number of cultivators gathering. Other than the direction of the Demon Ghost Region, they had already surrounded Huaxia. Looking at the movements, the forces of various countries were preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Huaxia's cultivation world. The entire Huaxia's cultivation world was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
All of this was within Yue Qianchou's expectations. With Bi Changchun gone, the various countries would definitely officially make their move.
"Master! I heard that our grandmaster is the number one expert in the world who has already gone to the East Holy Land? "Hong Qi's eyes suddenly lit up as he interrupted. Yue Qianchou made a noncommittal "En" sound, and Hong Qi instantly revealed an extremely annoyed expression. It seemed like he was blaming his master for not bringing him to meet his grandmaster, but he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of his master.
Gu Qingyun glanced at Hong Qi and continued to report, "All the sects in Huaxia are in danger, and they're all worried that the Soul Formation experts of various countries are about to make their move … Also, there are quite a number of cultivators in our two sects, so we should also prepare early to avoid being implicated when the time comes."
"You're worrying too much …" Yue Qianchou thought for a while and said, "Some time ago, the new Torture Master of the Demon Ghost Region, Niu Youde, already warned them that the Soul Formation experts of various countries don't dare to come to Huaxia for the time being. Think of a way to spread this news so that the various sects can prepare for war with peace of mind. Don't make it so that they surrender before the fight even starts … Hmph! Anyway, they're all tired of living. If there's something wrong with their cultivation, it's better to die a little more. "
