Chapter Three Hundred and Fifteen: Deep into the Clouds and Mist
From the time Zhou Yang entered the Purple Star Pavilion to the time he ransacked the treasures in the store and left, it only lasted an hour or two.
Since Zixing Pavilion had closed down before and activated the protective formation, no one noticed that the sky had changed inside.
It was not until Zhou Yang Juanbao left and the monk from Zixing Pavilion who knocked him unconscious reported the case that the news spread.
However, Zhou Yang had already left the Immortal City at this time and did not know where he went. Even the Qixia Sect behind the Qixia Immortal City investigated his origins but could not find his whereabouts. In the end, the matter could only be found in the Qixia Sect.
The quarrel with the Purple Star Sect ended in nothing.
On the other side, after Zhou Yang left Qixia Fairy City, he headed south to "Yunwu Ze".
After flying like this for most of a day, he saw the endless sea of fog ahead of him from a distance of hundreds of miles.
The clouds and mist of "Yunwuze" connect to the sky and are thousands of feet high above the sea of clouds, and connect to the earth, earth, rocks, and lakes below to form one whole.
The strange power in the clouds and mist is everywhere even in the earth and rock. Therefore, if a cultivator goes deep into the restricted area through earth escape or water escape, he will also encounter the erosion of that force just like on the ground.
What separates the cloud and fog area from the outside area is a long river. On one side of the long river is the lush green grassland by the river, and on the other side is the white fog area where nothing can be seen clearly.
Regarding the basic situation of "Yunwu Ze", Zhou Yang had already purchased relevant information from the bookstore in Qixia Fairy City.
According to the records he saw from the data, the internal terrain of "Yunwu Ze" is mainly composed of swamp waters, so it is called "Ze".
However, due to its vast area, nearly one-tenth of the area is land and islands. It is said that there is a thousand-foot peak in the center of "Yunwuze", on which sixth-order spiritual veins gather.
Whether it is a land island or a swamp, the spiritual energy inside is much stronger than the outside world. Therefore, while many rare elixirs are bred there, it also breeds many powerful monsters.
Monster beasts are inherently stronger physically, and their ability to adapt to harsh environments is better than that of human monks. These monster beasts living in the "Yunmist Lake" are either born in it since childhood, or have survived in it for many years, and have long since adapted.
The strange power in the mist inside.
Coupled with the suppression of the monks' spiritual consciousness by the fog and the restrictions of the environment, the advantages of low- and middle-level immortal cultivators facing monsters of the same level will be greatly weakened in "Yunmist Ze".
Therefore, under normal circumstances, when immortal cultivators below the Zifu stage enter the "Yunmist Lake" to explore and hunt for treasures, they will enter in groups, and few people dare to enter alone.
Only monks at the Zifu stage and Jindan stage dare to enter it alone, and go deep into places that low-level monks cannot reach, looking for rare spiritual objects that are rarely seen in the outside world.
Zhou Yang didn't have any specific goals when he entered "Yunwu Ze". He just wanted to go in and take a look and hit the opportunity.
If you can gain something, that would be great.
Even if he doesn't get much, at least when he writes his autobiographical travel notes in the future, he can add a trip to "Yunwu Ze", a forbidden place in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent, in a certain year and month.
Therefore, after he stopped for a moment outside the fog area, he drove the "Huan Yun Boat" and plunged into the vast white fog.
As soon as the "Huan Yunzhou" entered the white mist, Zhou Yang felt his mind sink. It was as if he was in a spiritual stone mine. His consciousness was greatly suppressed, and the visual distance was instantly reduced to less than ten meters.
to the extent of ten feet.
You must know that in the outside world, he can use all his consciousness to explore a range of more than twenty miles, and his eyesight is enough to see a bee more than ten miles away!
However, in "Yunwuze", this range was directly compressed by nearly 70%, and he could only detect a range of less than six miles, which was equivalent to directly suppressing his spiritual consciousness to the level of a late-stage foundation-building monk.
His consciousness, which is equivalent to that of a monk on the eighth or ninth level of the Zi Mansion, has been suppressed so severely. You can imagine how severely suppressed those monks in the foundation building stage and even the Qi training stage have been.
Only then did he realize that the information stated that the ninth-level qi-training monks’ spiritual consciousness could not be separated from the body more than ten feet in the "Yunwuze". There was absolutely no exaggeration!
"This is just after entering the outer area, and the suppression is so great. According to the data, every time you go thousands of miles deep, the suppression force will increase by several percent. No wonder it is said that only Nascent Soul Stage monks can truly enter the depths of the core!
"
Zhou Yang frowned, his eyes full of surprise.
Although there are different opinions about the origin of "Yunwuze", the most widely circulated and most believed explanation is that this is the place of practice of a certain great supernatural power monk in ancient times, and the white mist here is that great supernatural power.
In order to prevent outsiders from disturbing their practice and to hide their practice caves, the monks set up formations to restrict them.
Zhou Yang originally didn't agree with this statement, because the area of "Yunwuze" is so large that even the legendary seventh-order formation that is unknown whether it exists or not is unlikely to cover such a large impact.
an area.
You must know that even a sixth-level high-grade formation can only cover an area of about 10,000 miles at most.
And "Yunwuze" covers an area of 20 to 300,000 miles!
In addition to the severe limitations on the power of his spiritual consciousness, Zhou Yang also felt the erosion of the physical body by the strange power in the mist.
However, because he is a cultivator in the Zifu period, and his body has been tempered by the "Qianyang Immortal Light" all year round, which is much stronger than that of a normal Zifu monk, he found out after carefully feeling it.
If the strange power in the mist keeps eroding at its current rate, he won't have to worry about this problem for at least three months, which is twice as long as the thirty or forty days mentioned in the data for a monk in the Purple Mansion Period!
This discovery made him very happy, and he couldn't help but murmured: "By the way, [Qian Yang Fairy Light] can remove erysipelas. I wonder if it has any effect on the strange power in the mist?"
He thought so, but Zhou Yang didn't do it right away.
There are two reasons. One is that he has just entered the "Yunmist Lake", and the strange corrosive power in the mist has too little impact on his body. At this time, even if the corrosive power is eliminated through the "Qian Yang Fairy Light", it will not
Don't jump to conclusions.
The second reason is naturally that he is too close to the outside world at this time, and the strange phenomena are obvious after the "Qianyang Fairy Light" is used, so he is afraid that others will discover his biggest secret.
So the flying boat moved under his feet and quickly flew into the depths of the vast white mist.
Because the monks in the Qi training period can only stay in the "Yunmist Lake" for a maximum of three days, they can only move in the outer area two to three thousand miles deep. If they go deeper, it is easy to go without returning.
Since the foundation-building monks can fly with swords and stay there for half a month, their range of activities is much wider.
If you are brave enough, it is not impossible to go deep into it for 50,000 to 60,000 miles.
Of course, for safety reasons, 90% of foundation-building monks will not go deeper than 30,000 miles, and usually move within the range of 10,000 to 30,000 miles.
The activity area of the Zifu period monks usually ranges from 30,000 miles to 80,000 miles.
Zhou Yang went all the way deep into it. Thanks to the powerful magical power of "Huan Yunzhou", he was not discovered by any monsters in the previous 20,000 miles, so naturally there was no need to stop.
However, after entering a depth of 20,000 miles, due to the increase in the number of third-level monsters, some monsters with sensitive perception discovered his whereabouts.
These monsters that have lived in the "Yunmist Lake" for a long time, maybe because they have been affected by the corrosive power of the fog for a long time, are very violent and bloodthirsty, and basically do not give in when they encounter human monks.
Even if the aura exuding from Zhou Yang's body is obviously a level higher than his own, those third-level monsters will usually roar and attack him after discovering his whereabouts.
It doesn't take much effort for Zhou Yang to deal with these blind monsters, but his speed inevitably slows down a lot.
He was also afraid that frequent battles would attract the eyes of fourth-level monsters or other high-level monks.
You must know that the dangers in this "Yunwuze" are not only monsters, but sometimes the immortal cultivators inside are much more dangerous than the monsters.
The unique environment here allows the murderer to perfectly cover up his traces and prevent anyone from finding out that he did it himself.
Therefore, monks who explore and hunt for treasures in "Yunwuze" generally try to avoid encounters with other immortal cultivators. If they do encounter one, the one with lower strength will immediately choose to escape.
Zhou Yang had no intention of harming others, but he had to be on guard against others.
In this way, he waited until nearly a day had passed before he penetrated deep into the 50,000-mile area of "Yunwuze".
Fifty thousand miles deep in the fog area, Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness coverage has been compressed to three or four miles.
At this depth, he flew blindly, and he did not dare to go too fast at all. He was afraid that if he went too fast, he would directly hit a fourth-level monster, a purple-level monk, or even a fifth-level monster.
Beast and Golden Core Stage Monk!
So Zhou Yang decisively stopped moving forward and began to circle around the foggy area in search of a place to stay in search of spiritual objects.
The land in "Yunwuze" is not connected into one piece, but is similar to the islands in the sea, existing alone.
And it's not just the land where spiritual things grow. There are also many aquatic elixirs growing on the water or under the water.
Even the "cloud beads" among the "three wonders of cloud and mist" may condense on certain plants on the water.
In short, if you want to find treasures in "Yunwuze", it really depends on luck.
Zhou Yang has always had good luck, and his spiritual consciousness is naturally stronger than that of monks of the same level. When he lowered his height and approached the water to look for land on which to settle, it only took him less than three days to find seven places one after another.
Eight third-level elixirs.
As for elixirs below the third level, Zhou Yang would never look at them. With his current level of cultivation, what's the use of picking low-level elixirs?
On the fifth day after entering the Yunwu Ze, Zhou Yang, who was looking for spiritual objects and land, suddenly heard a shocking beast roar full of anger coming from the depths of the fog in front of him.
This made him look startled, and then he looked in the direction where the roar of the beast came from with twinkling eyes and began to ponder.
