Chapter 924
Yuanxiao put away the Qiankun Box and the Boundary Breaking Shuttle, took out the human three-pointed cauldron, and after activating it, he held the three-pointed cauldron and flew forward. This time, not only was there no pressure or resistance, but there was a suction force that allowed Yuanxiao to fly forward easily.
With a bang, Yuan Xiao felt the tripod hit an invisible barrier, and then spent dozens of breaths of effort to finally break through the barrier. Then the tripod exploded with dazzling white light, completely enveloping Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao's whole body was wrapped in strong light, and her eyes could not see anything. She only felt that the tripod was moving forward quickly.
After two cups of tea, the tripod finally stopped and the strong light gradually dissipated. Yuanxiao put away the tripod and found that he was already on the top of a mountain. At his feet was a platform similar to a teleportation array. Obviously, this place had a guiding effect on the holder of the tripod.
Looking ahead, there is a grassland under the mountain. Strangely, the same grassland showed two different colors. Near the side of the hill, the plants on the grassland died, showing a scene of decay. But on the other side in the distance, it was full of life and green.
In the middle of the two completely different grasslands, there is a very obvious depression area, which is like a dividing line, dividing the grassland straight into two halves.
Yuanxiao took out the Qiankun Box Immortal Artifact, opened the secret passage, and Xiaoqi immediately walked out.
"Experience it first and see what's different here?" Yuanxiao said.
Xiao Qi felt it carefully before replying: "There is no immortal energy here, and the spiritual energy is very thin, not even one-fifth of the human world. It should be very difficult to practice here."
Yuan Xiao nodded when he heard this, agreeing very much with Xiao Qi's analysis, and then pointed out: "Look at the grassland in front of you, what do you think?"
Xiaoqi looked forward along the Yuanxiao finger and felt very surprised. She said: "This grassland is very strange. On the opposite side of the dividing line, there is a lot of life; but on our side, it is lifeless. Just like when we usually plant flowers and grass, we have water and fertilizer on the other side. Plenty, just like the lack of water and fertilizer on the other side.”
Yuanxiao nodded: "A very vivid metaphor. But this is the same grassland. If it is due to lack of water and fertilizer, it should be distributed in points under normal circumstances. It is impossible to be almost close to a straight line like now, cut into completely different areas. Two halves. Therefore, the clues to the cause of all this should be found at the dividing line."
"Let's go to the dividing line in the middle of the grassland to investigate and see if we can find the reason." Yuanxiao said and was about to leave.
"Two Holy Envoys, wait a minute." Suddenly, someone shouted from halfway up the mountain, waving and flying toward the two of them.
Only then did Yuanxiao discover that there was a cave halfway up the mountain, and this person had obviously just discovered someone on the top of the mountain, so he flew over from the cave to chat.
"It's a Nascent Soul cultivator. Don't be afraid. Let's listen first and see what he has to say." Yuan Xiao motioned to the two of them to stay where they were and wait.
The old man Yuanying finally flew not far in front of him, raised his hands and saluted: "May I ask whether these two are the holy envoys of the human race in the immortal world?"
Yuan Xiao nodded and replied: "Exactly. Who is my friend?" Yuan Xiao came here with the mission of Tian Zu, and he wanted to explore the cause of Optimus Prime's injury, so he needed a guide. Of course, he said that he was the Holy Envoy.
"Old Man is the protector who guards the Saint-Introducing Platform here. Everyone calls me Lao Song. This is the Human Race's Saint-Introducing Platform. In addition, there are similar Saint-Introducing Platforms in the Monster and Demon Races. Occasionally, they can receive instructions from the fairy world, but they can only It can receive messages in one direction and cannot send messages back. Only if someone can ascend to the immortal world from here can they bring some news to the immortal world." Lao Song replied.
"But Optimus Prime's spiritual energy is thin and cultivation resources are scarce. It is very difficult for people here to break through and advance, so people here generally have low cultivation levels. Nascent Soul monks like Lao Chan are already considered to be among the masters. "
Yuan Xiao heard the words and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Song, I dare to ask, what is the current situation of the highest-end combat power of the three races of humans and demons here? Who else has ascended in the past two thousand years?"
Lao Song replied: "With the highest level of combat power, here in the human race, there is currently only one monk who is in the early stage of transcending the tribulation. In the demon race, there is only one monk who is in the integration of Dzogchen. The demon race is stronger, and there are currently two monks who are in the early stage of transcending the tribulation. Because They occupy better positions and practice longer.”
"In the past two thousand years, one person from the human race has ascended, two people from the demon race have ascended, and no one from the demon race has ascended. I happen to be two thousand years old now, and I am approaching the end of my lifespan. I happened to have seen all the above things with my own eyes. "
The current highest combat power here is only the monks in the early stage of transcending the tribulation? Yuanxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it would be much easier to handle. At least what he and Xiaoqi want to do will not be interfered with too much.
"Fellow Daoist Song, the grassland in front of us is obviously very strange. May I ask when this situation started to appear?"
Old Song thought for a moment before speaking: "This kind of change began to appear about fifteen hundred years ago. As we have seen it for a long time, we have become accustomed to it and do not find it strange."
Yuanxiao asked: "The dividing line of this grassland is obviously sunken, forming a straight line. If I guessed correctly, the dividing line used to be flat, with the same vegetation on both sides; but after the depression appeared, the two sides began to be completely different. Excuse me Is that so?"
Old Song thought for a while, patted his head, and replied: "It seems to be true. We didn't think much about it at all, because this phenomenon became more and more common. Optimus Prime appeared everywhere, so everyone was surprised. No wonder. It’s just that in the past thousand years, it has become more and more serious. Almost all the plants on Optimus Prime have died and are no longer suitable for habitation.”
"So, now the three tribes of humans, demons and monsters have all moved to the lowest level to live. The upper level has been almost abandoned by everyone and has become a no-man's land. There is still a little bit of thin spiritual energy in the lower level, but there is almost no spiritual energy in the upper level."
"We all discussed privately that Optimus Prime was alive before, but now he is about to die. But although we have some guesses about the specific reason, we can't confirm it. Because some areas controlled by the demons are not allowed to enter and investigate."
"Fellow Daoist Song, we are going to explore the grassland boundary ahead now. Do you want to join us?" Yuan Xiao suggested.
"The human saint invites me, and I will follow. Please." Old Song took the lead and flew forward.
Yuan Xiao and Xiao Qi immediately followed and flew side by side to the depression in the grassland. Yuan Xiao had a plan in mind for exploring the depression.
The depression did not look big from a distance, but when I got closer, I found that the grassland depression was fifty feet wide and twenty feet deep.
Yuanxiao looked at the spot for a while and said, "It turns out that a flat grassland will not sink for no reason. Unless it is hollowed out from below!"
"Yuanxiao, your guess is very likely. We only need to dig a small section to confirm whether the guess is correct. But it will take a long time for the two of us to dig. Can you ask Brother Song to call some people to dig a hole for us?" Xiaoqi responded immediately.
Old Song was about to agree, but Yuanxiao waved his hand: "No need to ask people, I have a digging tool!"
After Yuanxiao finished speaking, he waved his hand and took out a Yuanqi Cannon!
