Chapter 407: Falling into a trap(1/2)
Since the spiritual storm blew up in the Refining Furnace Wasteland, a third-level evil vessel in the center of the wasteland has completed its sublimation from the third level to the fourth level with the help of this. The subsequent changes will be the same as what happened in the Giant Wilderness.
Things are almost the same.
All the third-level great demons, as well as those powerful pill-forming masters who chose to hibernate because the Xingxiu Palace came out again, poured into this area after completing their sublimation.
What is also no surprise is that with the arrival of the four Nascent Souls from the Constellation Palace, all the excitement and fanaticism are "extinguished".
The four Nascent Soul Sovereigns used the most forceful means to make this area, which was extremely crowded not long ago, empty again.
Then, as twelve more formation flags were fired, a thick black fog covered the entire area that had been upgraded to the fourth level.
Compared to the time in the Juye Wasteland, the four Nascent Soul Lords appeared in the Refining Furnace Wasteland earlier, their actions were more decisive, and their handling efficiency was much higher.
However, there was no trace of excitement and excitement on the faces of the four people. Instead, the gloomy expressions like dark clouds became thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If the first change that happened in the Juye Wasteland only made them think of a more serious possibility, then the huge change that happened in the Refining Furnace Wasteland almost confirmed their suspicions——
Are such changes limited to the two wild areas of Juye and Lianlu?
The answer to this question is clear in the minds of the four people.
When dealing with the huge changes in the Refining Furnace Wasteland, the four people were thinking the most about the other six wilderness areas that had not yet undergone huge changes.
And the situation did not exceed their expectations.
Just as they had just finished dealing with the Refining Furnace Wasteland and returned to the Xingxiu Sea, another urgent and bad news came from the Lingyue Wasteland.
At this moment, the last extravagant thoughts in the four people's hearts were severely shattered.
The four people all had a very clear judgment in their minds - such a huge change cannot be an accident, it must be man-made!
Moreover, the other purposes of the big hand behind all this are still unknown for the time being, but one thing is clear, that is, the four of them, the Nascent Soul Lord, who is standing at the top of the Constellation Palace, are playing like chess pieces and pulling strings.
A puppet is usually manipulated by someone!
They are moving under the will of that unknown existence, moving east to east and west to west.
There is no doubt that this is an experience that makes you want to vomit blood.
But what's even more depressing is that they still have to obey such manipulation!
Just imagine, what will be the consequences if you ignore it?
The nearly 200-year-long mountain closure of Xingxiu Palace gave the Outer Territories an unprecedented opportunity for development.
How many monks in the eight wastelands of the Outer Realm took advantage of this opportunity to reach the peak of elixir formation?
Not to mention, those non-Xingxiu Palace monks who had reached the pinnacle of pill formation long before the Xingxiu Palace closed the mountain!
Originally, due to the innate limitations of various wilderness areas, the peak of pill formation was the limit they could reach.
They will finish their lives at the peak of Dan formation, and there will never be any possibility of going any further.
Now, an opportunity is presented to them that allows them to break through the Core Formation and advance to the Nascent Soul!
You only need to put yourself in their shoes to know how far they can go to seize such an opportunity.
Even if the success rate of a hasty breakthrough is slim, as long as there are enough people who are not afraid of death, there will always be lucky people who successfully land!
Not to mention, there is a group of great demons who are more desperate than the practitioners and are not afraid of death.
It is the third-level evil spirits that have completed sublimation. For practitioners, the third-level demons are the most suitable group.
Although, the success rate of a third-level demon attacking a fourth-level true spirit is even slimmer than that of forming a pill to attack the Nascent Soul.
But as the saying goes, as long as there are enough bases, miracles will always happen.
What's more, there are so many third-level demons, and one of them might have a true spirit bloodline that has not been fully awakened.
And whether it is the appearance of a Nascent Soul who is not from the Xingxiu Palace or a fourth-level true spirit, they are absolutely intolerable and cannot bear it.
Therefore, even if they have realized that they are being pulled forward by an invisible thread, they have to comply with the pull of this force.
After that, in just one month, following the Lingyue Wasteland, four other wilderness areas including the Gucui Wasteland, Tianyun Wasteland, Ten Thousand Pines Wasteland, and Shiyuan Wasteland successively "fell" one after another.
The four Nascent Soul Sovereigns, just as they expected, were like marionettes, following the footsteps of the great changes, appearing one after another in these four wilderness areas.
All thoughts of using this "place of enlightenment" that descended from the sky to advance to the Nascent Soul or the fourth-level True Spirit were nipped in the bud.
In the midst of these great changes, their mentality has become somewhat numb.
The four of them looked at the last wasteland where great changes had not yet occurred, the Hongze Wasteland.
It's like waiting for the last shoe to fall, almost wishing that this matter would end soon and enter the next plot as soon as possible.
——Yes, they all have a vague judgment in their hearts, that is, these things happening now are likely to be the precursor of some larger events, rather than the end.
But after waiting and waiting, there was no movement in the last flooded wasteland.
The four Constellation Palace Nascent Souls who came to Hongze Wasteland early discussed this issue again.
"Why is the Hongze Wasteland different from the other seven wastelands?"
When this question was put in front of everyone, the eyes of the other three people unanimously focused on Lian Ziling again.
It seems that everyone has naturally placed the responsibility of solving this puzzle on him.
Seeing this situation, Lian Ziling seemed to want to use a friendly enough smile to resolve the thick barrier between them, but his smile was too forced and had no corresponding effect.
In the end, Lian Ziling just coughed lightly and gave an idea.
"I wonder if you have noticed that, except for the Hongze Wasteland, there have been no incidents related to the Lihen Cult in the other seven wilderness areas in recent years.
This is really unreasonable, we all know the nature of the Lihen Sect, they cannot be so peaceful!"
"Compared to this, the Hongze Wasteland, where there are still traces of the Lihen Cult's activities, seems much normal."
"Elder Brother" stared at Lian Ziling and said thoughtfully: "So, do you think this series of changes has some connection with the Lihen Sect?"
Lian Ziling said: "This is just my humble opinion based on some available information. As for the truth, perhaps only God knows."
"Elder Brother" stared at Lian Ziling and nodded slightly with inexplicable meaning.
At this moment, the "Fourth Junior Sister", who had always been very low-key and seemed transparent among the four, suddenly said:
"Brother Lian, are these current changes related to the Lihen Cult?"
Lian Ziling was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at the "Fourth Junior Sister", then shook his head and said:
"I said, this is just my guess. If you insist on taking it as the truth... I have nothing to say."
"Fourth Junior Sister" continued: "But in that case, why have you never mentioned something to us?"
When she said this, her tone was still so soft and soft.
But Lian Ziling was a very alert person and immediately sensed a deeply hidden and looming "murderous intention" from it.
He didn't reply, but turned his head slightly to look at her, as if waiting for what she would say next.
Although he was sitting quietly, he gave the impression that he was like an extremely alert cat. It seemed that any abnormal change would trigger the most intense reaction from him.
"Fourth Junior Sister" seemed unaware of the subtle changes that had happened to him and continued to speak softly:
"These days, I have also been thinking about the reasons behind these great changes."
"So, you found the reason? Is it related to me?"
Lian Zilingdao's tone and demeanor contained an unabashed sense of teasing and ridicule.
"Fourth Junior Sister" shook his head, "No, but I discovered something else."
As he said this, "Fourth Junior Sister" raised her head and looked at Lian Ziling.
"You just said that there is an obvious difference between the seven wilderness areas that have undergone tremendous changes and the Hongze wilderness, and it is related to the Lihen Cult. You are right.
But what you didn’t say is that, putting aside the factor of the Hongze Wasteland, there is also a huge difference between the Juye Wasteland and the other six wilderness areas in terms of the Lihen Sect.”
"The Lihen Sect in the other six wilderness areas suddenly disappeared in recent years, while the Lihen Sect in the Juye Wilderness disappeared many years ago...Why don't you talk about this difference?
"
After hearing the words "Fourth Junior Sister", Lian Ziling's eyes first showed surprise, and then he sneered.
"Junior Sister, I admire my keen insight and ability to discover new clues, but... you are using this as a basis to blame me, aren't you being too unreasonable?!"
"Fourth Junior Sister" said:
"I have always admired Senior Brother Lian for his intelligence. I can spot problems, but it makes no sense that Senior Brother Lian turns a blind eye.
Moreover, during the closure of the Xingxiu Palace, you will be in charge of the observation envoy for a long time, and all the news coming back from the eight wastelands of the outer lands will be concentrated in your hands first."
Having said this, the "Fourth Junior Sister" paused and suddenly changed the subject.
"One more thing, the specialness of the Juye Wilderness can be proved from another angle, and it has nothing to do with the Lihen Cult!"
"A simple comparison of the seven desolate areas that have undergone tremendous changes, it can be clearly seen that in the other six desolate areas, the specific third-order evil veins where the great changes occurred are all located in the closest central area of a certain desolate area.
Only in the Juye Wilderness, Wumenghai, the third-level evil vein where the great changes occurred, is located in the northern part of the entire wilderness."
Having said this, the "Fourth Junior Sister"'s soft eyes fell on Lian Ziling, giving him the feeling that his fingers were turning into a heart-destroying sword.
"With such an obvious difference, why does Senior Brother keep it secret?"
"If my guess is correct, there should be something special about this giant wilderness!"
