However, when he could not sense the space, Xiao Hua understood that it was not because Wannian and Tai Tong were restricted. It was because the space within the Nine Hills was strange, and Wannian and Tai Tong could not break through it. That was why he could not detect the woodcutter who was so close to him.
Xiao Hua saw that the woodcutter was a middle-aged man, so he simply cupped his hands and greeted him as "Uncle." He said, "Xiao Hua, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Hua, put down his axe, and smiled. "Where did this young man come from? What's the matter?"
"Uncle, I would like to ask, where is this place?"
Xiao Hua asked, "How can I leave?"
"This is Kunwu."
The woodcutter smiled and said, "If you want to leave, you need to go to the Easternmost Land to find a boat that crosses the river."
"Kunwu?"
Xiao Hua was dumbfounded. He whispered, "Kunwu Wonderland?"
"What Kunwu Wonderland?"
The woodcutter waved his hand and said, "This is Kunwu Hill!"
"Oh, oh."
Xiao Hua immediately understood and nodded. "I understand. Kunwu Hill is one of the Nine Hills. However, Uncle, what are the other names of the Nine Hills?"
"Nine Hills?"
The woodcutter was stunned and asked curiously, "Other than Kunwu Hill, are there other hills?"
"Uncle, you haven't been to other places?"
Xiao Hua asked, "Or have you not been to the Easternmost Land?"
"No."
The woodcutter shook his head. "Why would I go to other places?"
Xiao Hua smiled and didn't mention the Easternmost Land and the Nine Hills again. He picked some other things to ask, and this woodcutter was able to answer smoothly, but all of his answers were about things that were close to home. As for things that were far away, he didn't know.
Xiao Hua saw that he could not get anything out of the woodcutter. He cupped his hands and bade farewell, then flew toward the East.
Along the way, Xiao Hua saw many mountains and rivers, and visited many villagers. These people, without exception, were like the woodcutter. They only knew about things within a hundred miles, and did not know anything further. Of course, when asked about the direction they left, they all said east.
Xiao Hua wasn't in a hurry either. He asked questions as he flew, and at the same time, he carefully explored the area.
One day, he heard the rumbling of water in front of him. It sounded like flowing water. Xiao Hua hastily urged his body to fly forward. He saw a waterfall hanging in front of him, a stream flowing along the boundless earth, and a small boat stopping at the bottom of the waterfall. Xiao Hua was overjoyed. He immediately floated down to the small boat.
The small boat didn't need to be driven. It moved forward along the stream on its own, as if there was a large hand pulling it.
There seemed to be a vast expanse of land in front of the river, but after traveling for a few days, a mountain ridge suddenly appeared in front of the boat, and the river disappeared before the mountain ridge.
Xiao Hua jumped down from the small boat. After waiting for a moment, he wanted to see if the small boat had disappeared. Unfortunately, the small boat was there, following the ripples of the water, as if it was mocking Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua moved forward again and met the village girl again. After asking, he found out that this was the Black and White Hill.
Of course, when Xiao Hua asked how to leave, the village girl still pointed to the East!
Just like this, Xiao Hua went all the way to the East. He passed by Chiwang Hill, Canwei Hill, Wufu Hill, Shenmin Hill, Taotang Hill, Shude Hill, Meng Ying Hill, and finally arrived at another place. Although he didn't see the familiar scenery, Xiao Hua already had a premonition in his heart. This must be the Kunwu Hill that he entered first.
Sure enough, after traveling for a few days, Xiao Hua met the woodcutter again.
This time, there was no need for Xiao Hua to greet him. The woodcutter took the initiative to put down his ax and said with a smile, "Young man, haven't you found the way out yet?"
"Not yet ~"
Xiao Hua smiled and looked at the north and south. He asked, "Uncle, may I ask where the north and south are?"
"Naturally, it's the Jianmu Forest ~"
The woodcutter answered.
"Jianmu?"
Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment. He looked up at the tree that the woodcutter was chopping. He saw that the tree had green leaves and purple stems. It was yellow in color and had no branches. There were nine branches on the top and nine branches on the bottom. In fact, it was like hemp, and its leaves were like awns. It was the tree that he saw when he walked through the Nine Hills. Moreover, there was only one kind of tree in the Nine Hills.
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly asked, "By the way, uncle, other than me, is there anyone else who came to ask for directions?"
"No ~"
The woodcutter shook his head and said, "I've only seen you!"
"Haha ~"
Xiao Hua laughed. He slapped his forehead and said regretfully, "Xiao is stupid. Yuan Yi, Si Xu, and Ying Quan turned into water light in front of Xiao. Then, wouldn't Xiao also turn into water light in front of them?"
"The so-called Nine Hills naturally belong to Xiao. Yuan Yi, Si Xu, and Ying Quan must also be in their respective Nine Hills!"
"If you want to break the Sages Formation Realm, you must first walk out of the Nine Hills and go to the Nine Hills. But how do you get out of the Nine Hills?"
"Xiao went all the way to the east and walked through the Nine Hills. If he went to the west, it should be the same. The only possibility is to go south or north. But in fact, if it was so simple to break the formation, how could the Sages Formation Realm be called a maze by the second-rank Heaven Immortals of the Taiqing Celestial Realm?"
"Since it's a maze, the woodcutter in front of Xiao, the village girl in front of him, and the people in the mountains and rivers could all be illusions. Of course, Xiao also used the Tai Tong and didn't see any illusions. This means that the Nine Hills could be real! "
"Didn't Si Xu and the others say before? The Nine Hills were formed when the ancient books of the human race were lost here in the early years. The words nourished the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Aren't the woodcutter and the village girl similar to the book spirit of the Spirited Mountain, and the Nine Hills is similar to the Spirited Mountain? "
"Ouch ~"
Thinking of this, Xiao Hua was even more enlightened. He smiled and said, "No wonder when His Majesty heard that Xiao was coming to participate in the Rui Selection, he was sure that Xiao would be able to step into the Heaven Immortal of the Taiqing Celestial Realm. It turned out that he already knew that the Sages Formation Realm was similar to the Spirited Mountain. Xiao could definitely find an opportunity here!"
Since there was a way to break the formation, Xiao Hua smiled slightly and raised his hand to pat the space between his eyebrows. With a whoosh, the Light of Civilization lit up and lit up the surroundings like a torch.
However, wherever the light swept, the mountain scenery and people disappeared and turned into words. And where the light passed through, Xiao Hua could see clearly that there were many human figures wandering around in the light of the water near him. Weren't they the Heaven Immortal of the Taiqing Celestial Realm who was participating in the Rui Selection?
Xiao Hua sent out the time sub-body and patted the top of his head again. With a boom, the auspicious cloud fell and the Heavenly Bud Dao Song sounded. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~ The words around Xiao Hua turned into light of the water again, and Xiao Hua escaped from the light of the water!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Nine consecutive earth-shattering explosions rang out. Nine gigantic balls of air appeared out of thin air, tearing apart the space in front of Xiao Hua. These nine balls of air were shaped like stars, but they flickered with a watery light. Amidst the surging watery light, they formed a gigantic ring of water that propped up heaven and earth!
Nine ancient auras were mixed with a strong sense of culture. Even the destiny that Xiao Hua was familiar with began to fly freely in the space. The nine huge air masses also slowly moved in this space …
