Chapter 117: Thousand Hell Island
(ps: The fourth update is here today, please vote for me!)
He dived into the light curtain from under the sea surface, and when Guo Zhengyang stabilized his figure again, the place he appeared was still under the deep sea. This was also one of the dangerous places at the entrance and exit.
The spiritual realm is located between the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, covering a large area. The large sects occupy huge islands with rich spiritual energy. Some islands are even comparable to a province in the Republic, and are larger than the treasure island of the motherland.
some.
However, most of the places where the casual cultivators are located are among small island groups. The strength of the casual cultivators is not strong in the first place. In addition, there are many monsters in the water. When fighting underwater, the strength of human monks is often suppressed.
At one level, a monk in the late stage of gathering spirits may not be able to compete with a second-grade monster in the middle stage of gathering spirits when fighting underwater...
This is also the reason why it is said that even if a Spirit-Gathering Dzogchen monk comes in and out of this area, he may die if he is not careful, because most of the powerful monsters within hundreds of miles are fourth-level water monsters.
And even underwater, because he has entered the spiritual realm, taking a breath, Guo Zhengyang can already feel the abundant spiritual energy contained in the air. Although this is near the entrance and exit, the spiritual energy is relatively thin, but it is still richer than most places in the world.
More than six times.
During a brief pause, Guo Zhengyang took off his storage ring and put it in his pocket, then quickly swam to the southeast and north with his backpack on his back, which was an area with more monsters.
He had been cautious during the process, even shrinking his spiritual consciousness, and then swam all the way. After more than 20 minutes, he vaguely saw a piece of land gradually rising underwater.
"This is Thousand Prison Island? Thousand Prison Island is a long and narrow island, hundreds of miles long, wide in the north and narrow in the south. Monsters roam freely in the north, but most of them are only first to third grade monsters, while the south is already home to rogue cultivators.
There is also a city. If monks want to enter the territory of monsters, whether they are hunting monsters or looking for various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they will basically use the city in the south of Thousand Prison Island as a transit point."
A trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and Guo Zhengyang quickly dived to the island again. He only had two purposes for coming here this time. One was to see if he could find the casual cultivator he had made friends with back then. His name was Li Zhe.
But this is more difficult. You can only try your luck. In his last life, he met an opportunity about six years after his father died when he was twenty-four years old. He started in five years and practiced in four years to reach the early peak. He broke through in one year and practiced seven or eight more years.
He reached his peak in the middle of the year. Adding all up, he was already forty-two years old and middle-aged when he entered the spiritual realm.
Then he entered the spirit realm. He didn't understand anything when he first came in, but he met Li Zhe shortly after entering. At that time, the other person was already at the peak of the late stage of gathering spirits, and he helped him several times, which made Guo Zhengyang very grateful, and then he followed Li Zhe across the border.
Seven or eight years later, if Li Zhe had not taken care of him during those years, it would have been a luxury for Guo Zhengyang to survive safely, because for a casual cultivator who came in from the outside world, the time when he first came in was definitely the most dangerous time, entering from the outside alone.
.The death rate is the highest at the beginning, because this world is absolutely completely different from the outside world.
There is absolutely no need for any reason to kill people here. Not only do monsters need no reason to kill you, but monks also don’t need any reason to kill you. It is commonplace for them to be chatting happily one moment and draw swords at each other the next.
Without anyone's guidance and care, many people cannot get through the initial period of time they enter.
It was also during the time that Li Zhe was taking care of her that Guo Zhengyang accidentally met Song Yiyi, a young girl who had just entered the spiritual realm during a trip. The situation was similar to that of Guo Zhengyang back then. She was not used to the dangers of the spiritual realm, so he helped her twice.
We met, Guo Zhengyang was forty-four that year, and Song Yiyi was only twenty-seven.
And now Guo Zhengyang is nineteen, and his nineteenth birthday has not even passed yet. Isn’t that girl Song Yiyi not in kindergarten yet?
When they first met in the previous life, he just helped Song Yiyi twice and didn't pay much attention to the little girl. He left after helping. When they met again, Song Yiyi had become a female casual cultivator's disciple.
.
Although they were very enthusiastic about him, Guo Zhengyang had no intention of making friends. A few years later, Li Zhe, who had been with Guo Zhengyang, died tragically. Not long after, Song Yiyi's master was also buried in the sea, and the two parties became alone.
A little more.
I met Yang Zhiming before Li Zhe's tragic death, but the two were not familiar with each other at first. After more contact, they became life-and-death friends.
Therefore, Guo Zhengyang knew that it would be very difficult for him to find Li Zhe now. He knew very well where Li Zhe had been haunting more than twenty years later, but now... he really didn't know.
Thinking of Li Zhe and Guo Zhengyang, I also feel very complicated. The main reason is that his cultivation qualifications are not generally bad, and can even be described as dull.
Guo Zhengyang practiced outside in his last life, and it only took seven or eight years from the middle to the peak. If he were in the spiritual realm, where the spiritual energy was ten times more intense, it would only take a few months at most.
But he knew that when he met Li Zhe, he was already sixty-five years old, twenty-three years older than Guo Zhengyang, and he entered the spiritual realm in his thirties when he was in the middle stage of gathering spirits. He had already stayed in the spiritual realm for nearly three years.
It took ten years, under such circumstances, to cultivate from the middle stage of Juling to the peak of the later stage. You can imagine how bad his qualifications were. Even he and Guo Zhengyang stayed together for another seven or eight years. When they were over seventy years old, they were still Juling.
Late spiritual stage.
Guo Zhengyang entered the spiritual realm at the age of 42 and was promoted to the real person realm before he was 70. It only took him twenty-five or six years to reach the real person level from the mid-term peak.
When comparing the two sides, the gap can be imagined.
Li Zhe's greatest advantage is that although his qualifications are dull, he is very careful, has a very flexible mind, and has good means of saving his life.
"The current Li Zhe should be forty-one years old. He has been in the spiritual realm for five or six years, and he is still stuck at the peak of the middle stage of gathering spirits. His qualifications are too poor. If he hadn't gotten the opportunity in the secular world, he not only had the skills but also some spiritual skills.
Zhi, it is impossible for him to cultivate to the middle stage of gathering spirits in the secular world, but every bottleneck, the small bottleneck of gathering spirit stage will be trapped for many years, and the bottleneck of the peak stage of late gathering spirit will be trapped for ten or twenty years, during this period of time, he
It should be somewhere far away from the monsters, but I'm not sure where exactly. He told me a lot of things in his previous life, but he didn't tell me all the details about his whereabouts in the first ten or twenty years when he first entered the spiritual realm.
I only know that when he first came in, he met a kind-hearted casual cultivator, and later joined a small sect on the outskirts, but that small sect was also exterminated soon, and then he wandered around... If he can't find it, he can only buy a batch first.
I’ll look for the elixir next time I come in.”
The spiritual realm is too big, larger than the territory of the Republic. It is better to be able to fly in the real world. Otherwise, you can only rely on ordinary ships or legs to travel. And there are basically no modern ships here, because modern ships are too noisy.
When the machine rings, it will attract monsters to kill you. In this case, it is definitely very difficult to travel across such a huge area to find someone.
He also knows that Li Zhe has many ways to save his life, and at least his life is not in danger recently, so if he really wants to find someone, he can only give up for now. Only when his strength really improves and becomes powerful, can he find someone.
It will also be much easier.
Condensing all his aura underwater, he swam to Chiba Island relying only on pure physical strength. Guo Zhengyang then boarded the island, carefully guarding his left and right, and quickly rushed to the south of the island.
Although there are more monsters in the northern part of the island, it is much safer than underwater. When encountering monsters underwater, Guo Zhengyang's strength will be greatly reduced, and it is far less safe than on the shore.
And almost 70% of the northern part of this island is covered in dense mountain forests. If such a mountain forest is discovered by the outside world, it will definitely arouse great amazement. The mountains here are incredibly green. The air is so pure that it is almost dizzying.
, it’s a tree. You can easily see huge trees that can’t even be hugged by three or four people, or hundreds of meters high.
Even some trees hidden in the deep forests are themselves monsters and tree demons.
Walking in such a dense mountain forest, Guo Zhengyang did not walk slowly. In his previous life, when he first entered the spiritual realm, he had been fighting near Chiba Island, and he still had a deep understanding of the environment here.
It only took him seven or eight hours to easily cross mountains and forests, and it took him only seven or eight hours to travel hundreds of miles. When the sky became dark again, he gradually approached the southern part of the island.
"During this period, the three mountains and one mansion that dominate the spiritual realm are Xiantu Mountain, Luohe Mountain, Shangjie Mountain, and Xueyou Mansion. Qianyu Island is closer to Luohe Mountain's sphere of influence, and Luohe Mountain is also in Qianyu Island Fang City.
It has established a business and has always had an excellent reputation. If you want to buy elixirs, Luoheshan is the first choice..."
Seeing that he was about to arrive at his destination, Guo Zhengyang had already made a decision in his mind. This time he would buy at least thirty or forty Fenghua Pills, which are worth thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. It would be very difficult for a casual cultivator to suddenly show off such a huge amount of wealth.
It's dangerous, so you can only buy it from a reputable place.
The city of Thousand Prison Island is not ruled by any strong person or sect. The situation here is very complicated. It is basically a no-care zone. Only some nearby large, medium and small sects have set up some units here to purchase various spiritual materials and spiritual plants.
Or the industry of monster furs and other treasures. Of course, these industries will also sell spiritual weapons, elixirs, etc.
There are at least dozens of such places in Fang City, the largest one is of course the property under Luohe Mountain, and the rest are all opened by small and medium-sized sects with Zhenren Realm as the leader.
The casual cultivators here fight monsters and beasts, and the treasures they find are sold to these industries in exchange for what they need.
The entire city's regulations only prohibit the use of force in the various industries opened by many sects. Outside of that street, everything on Qianjiao Island is disorderly.
Therefore, the choice of where to buy treasures is very important. If you enter the property set up by some small and medium-sized sects to sell and buy treasures, the other party will probably turn around and send people to kill you. Only Luoheshan has the best reputation, but good reputation is good.
, Luohe Mountain is the darkest. They give you the lowest price when you sell treasures, and they give the highest price when you buy the elixirs and spiritual weapons you need.
Take Fenghua Dan as an example. The market price is 50 low-grade spiritual stones, but if you buy it in Luohe Mountain, the price can reach 70 spiritual stones.
If Guo Zhengyang buys forty pieces, the market price is 2,000 lower-grade spiritual stones, but if he buys them at the market opened in Luohe Mountain, it will cost 800 lower-grade spiritual stones.
However, Guo Zhengyang still decided to go to Luohe Mountain, otherwise he would be in the late stage of gathering spirits and still look unfamiliar and take out thousands of spirit stones at once, which would easily lead to disaster.
"Friend, please stay." Just as Guo Zhengyang was rushing towards Qianjiudaofang City under the cover of night, a low voice suddenly came from a hundred meters away from the side. Guo Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately stopped and was on guard.
