"I see." Lu Qingshan nodded thoughtfully.
Although he was experienced and knowledgeable, he was not omniscient and omnipotent.
Not only had he never been to the Barren Brilliant Land in his previous life, he had not even heard much about it. He was naturally happy to have someone in the know who was willing to introduce him to the situation of the Barren Brilliant Land.
"However, because the environment of the other half of the oasis is far more suitable for survival, the number of monsters and ferocious beasts is far more than this barren land.
Therefore, for these humans who live in the Barren Brilliant Land, it's hard to say whether it's better to live in this barren land or in the other half of the oasis. "Liu Yu was a little emotional.
"Where are you from, Fellow Daoist Lu?" Liu Yu changed the topic and probed.
"Zhenjiang Lu Family." Lu Qingshan was very frank about his background and said it openly.
"I'm from Qianzhao City's Liu Family. The next time Fellow Daoist Lu comes to Qianzhao City, just let me know and I'll definitely receive Fellow Daoist Lu well." Liu Yu was also very polite. Without waiting for Lu Qingshan to ask, he took the initiative to say his origin.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Liu Yu said self-deprecatingly, "Among the cultivators in this operation, I thought my cultivation was the lowest. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lu to be in the same situation as me."
Liu Yu was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. His cultivation was definitely not low. However, when placed on this spirit boat, it was indeed a little lacking.
Perhaps this was also the reason why Liu Yu took the initiative to talk to Lu Qingshan. After all, it was rare to see a cultivator with a lower cultivation than him. It was as if he had found a similar kind.
However, Lu Qingshan did not underestimate him because of this.
He did not believe that the cultivators who could participate in this operation would be simple.
For example, although he was only in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, if anyone underestimated him because of this, they would definitely suffer a lot.
.....
The flying spirit boat driven by True Venerable Darknorth was not only extremely fast, but it also had a high-grade concealment formation. It flew silently in the air and even left no trace.
There was even one time when a fourth-grade monster bird swept past the spirit boat, but it did not notice the existence of the spirit boat.
There were no surprises or dangers along the way.
However, the scenery along the way was mostly short shrubs and barren yellow land. After looking at it for a long time, Lu Qingshan felt a little tired and irritated.
Therefore, not long after, Lu Qingshan was no longer in the mood to go on the road. Instead, he began to study the Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword again.
Sword techniques were still the most interesting!
After nearly ten days of research and practice in Fan Lou, he could be considered to have made some small gains. He pushed the progress of this Secret Sword Technique forward with difficulty: Heaven Suppression (Learning Progress: 1.1%)
Although it was only 1% progress, it meant that as long as he was willing to spend some time, he would be able to master this Secret Sword Technique.
For most Sword Cultivators, this Secret Sword Technique would take them three to four years to no avail. Their progress would be stuck at the starting point, from the beginning to the end, until they gave up.
There were some swords that couldn't be used even if you were willing to spend the time.
Two days later, when Lu Qingshan had pushed the learning progress of the Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword Art to 1.3% with great difficulty, the flying spirit boat slowly came to a stop in midair.
They had arrived at their destination.
…
Landlord Pang Yang frowned as he looked at the human village in front of him.
Perhaps it was more appropriate to call it a small town rather than a village.
This was because the village was quite large and had all kinds of houses. Although they were very simple and crude, there were quite a lot of them. Many indigenous villagers who looked almost the same as the ones they had seen before were wandering around, but they were mostly women and children.
This barren land wasn't suitable for growing crops. If they wanted to survive in this place, most of the time, men would have to travel far away to hunt wild beasts.
"The location given by Yunlang Sentinel is indeed here," Lv Yuan explained to the middle-aged cultivator beside him.
True Venerable Darknorth's eyes were like lightning as he scanned the human village. "These villagers are all mortals, not cultivators of the Hades. There's nothing fishy about them.
However, since Yunlang Sentinel found this place using the Divination Mirror, the possibility of a mistake is very low. "
"There's another possibility. This human village is just a cover, and the real Hades Palace is hidden in a more concealed way." Landlord Pang Yang's eyes lit up. "Don't forget what the Void Demon Child's bloodline talent is."
The True Meaning of Space!
Landlord Pang Yang's words enlightened True Venerable Darknorth and Lv Yuan.
.....
Lu Qingshan also examined the indigenous village in front of him and couldn't see any problems at the moment.
"Lu Qingshan, I sense a familiar scent." Instead, it was the Western Rat King, who was hiding in Lu Qingshan's sleeve, who suddenly spoke, breaking the deadlock.
"What smell?" Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
"It's the same smell as the blood-red crystals I ate in Zhenjiang City. Moreover, it's very, very, very rich and there's a lot of it." The little rat demon said 'very' six times in a row to describe the intensity of the smell.
Lu Qingshan's body trembled.
When the Western Rat King broke through from a first-grade demonic beast to a second-grade demonic beast, one of the new abilities it awakened was that it could keenly sense the surrounding spiritual objects that were beneficial to the evolution of its bloodline.
Moreover, this kind of perception came from its bloodline instincts, and even formations and runes couldn't block it.
The blood-red crystals it ate back then were the products of the Blood Pool Reincarnation.
The Blood Pool Reincarnation was a taboo technique that only the Hades could master.
If the smell of the Blood Pool Reincarnation here was as strong as the Western Rat King said, then they were right.
That meant that they hadn't found the wrong place. There were indeed traces of cultivators from the Underworld here, and it was an extremely important branch hall!
However, why couldn't they see anything even though it was right in front of them?
The next moment, they thought of the Void Demon Child's Space True Meaning ability, and an idea flashed through their minds in a flash.
Space illusion!
The middle-aged male cultivator explained in a deep voice, "It's very likely to be a space illusion. Those who are proficient in the Space True Meaning can pull a thin layer of space above an actual space as a barrier."
It was just like how the boundaries of small realms always had different forms. In fact, those forms didn't really exist. They were just illusions created by powerful cultivators when they created small realms. They pulled the space as they pleased and transformed it into an illusion.
With the middle-aged male cultivator's explanation, Pang Yang and the other two understood the specific situation.
"Whether it's a space illusion or not, let's treat it as one for the time being. Darknorth, you and Lu Yuan are responsible for organizing and coordinating the cultivators' actions." Pang Yang began to give orders and instructed.
"Understood, Tower Lord!" Darknorth and Lu Yuan responded in unison.
"We'll have to trouble True Venerable Han Mei to seal the space," Pang Yang said politely to the middle-aged male cultivator.
"Of course," True Venerable Han Mei said reservedly.
