As mentioned before, the northernmost part of Daning is Liangzhou, the north of Liangzhou is Tianshan, the further north of Tianshan is Jiguo, and the further north of Jiguo is Dajue.
From Daning to Dajue, the north-south span is nearly 20,000 miles. In the previous life, it would have spanned half the world.
But in this world, such a distance is not that exaggerated.
Whether it is Daning or Dajue, they are generally located in the southeastern region of the world. Even if they are not considered small countries, they can be considered to be at a medium level among the hundreds of countries that exist in the world.
And since there are already so many human dynasties, it is natural that the demon clan, as an important part of this world, cannot just live in Shiwan Mountain.
Their main gathering places are called "demon places", and there are fourteen of them in the world.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains are counted as one place, ranking ninth among the Fourteen Demon Lands.
There is an ice field to the east of Dajue, which is also the seventh place.
It is not known here what the fourteen demon lands are based on, but I think it may have something to do with the strength of the demon clan gathered in the demon lands.
And the mysterious black hole hidden in the mountain temple is connected to the "Seventh Demon Land" in Dajue.
"..."
The above is the main content of the information sent back by Xu Suisui.
Although there is nothing about the "Fourteen Demon Lands" in "The Peak of Martial Arts", Wei Changtian does not doubt the authenticity of this information.
On the other hand, Xu Suisui had no need to lie to him.
On the other hand, he has already asked Qingxian to verify the authenticity of this matter.
Qingxian's reply not only confirmed the existence of the fourteen demon lands, but also confirmed that there are indeed a large number of demons living in the snowy plains of the far east of Dajue.
It's just that Qingxian doesn't know about the mysterious black hole, nor does he know more about the "Seventh Demon Land".
In other words, although she is the demon king of Shiwanda Mountain, there is an "information barrier" between her and other demon lands, and she doesn't know much about each other.
This is not difficult to understand when you think about it.
After all, this world is so big that even human dynasties have almost no contact if they are slightly farther apart, let alone a demon land dominated by demon clan.
It's perfectly normal for everyone to live their own lives and not interact with each other until old age.
Just like Dajue and Daning.
If Dajue hadn't suddenly taken advantage of the crisis to launch an invasion, Daning might not have sent as many spies to Dajue in the next hundred years as there have been in the past month.
Another example is Wei Changtian.
If Yang Liushi hadn't entered that mysterious black hole, maybe he wouldn't have known that there was such a thing as the "Fourteen Demon Lands" until his death...
From this perspective, although the world is large, the "level of cultivation" has not reached a level that matches such a world structure, which makes the connections around the world very weak.
Even a master like Lao Zhangtou spent more than ten years traveling from Baidian in the far north of the world to Daning.
What about ordinary people?
Maybe I won’t be able to get there in my lifetime...
The world is too big and the speed is too slow. The flow of information is naturally extremely stagnant, and everyone's vision only stays in a certain small area.
After all, like Kui Long, there are only a handful of forces that can spread twenty-two branches all over the world.
And if you want to break through this restriction universally...
Then perhaps the practitioners in this world need to break through the shackles of the first rank first, or even open the door to "becoming an immortal".
...
...
Three days later.
Looking towards Nanfeng, the mountain temple.
Compared with a few days ago, the mountain temple at this time is no longer deserted. There are soldiers wearing white armor patrolling both inside and outside. The main hall is strictly guarded and no one is allowed to enter.
At noon, a figure appeared from the snow-capped mountains in the distance and ran straight to the mountain temple under the gaze of everyone.
The sun was dazzling, mixed with the flying snow falling on him, making him look very lonely in the vast whiteness.
Soon, the patrolling soldiers saw the face of the visitor clearly.
They were all stunned for a moment, and then someone immediately ran into the temple to report the news.
"General!"
"Master Wei is back!"
"..."
"Changtian, I have already completed all the things you asked me to do. Zhang San and Huang Sheng have been sending messages back on time these days. I guess there are no accidents..."
Many torches had been inserted into the cave with jagged rocks, and the flickering light illuminated Liang Zhen's tired face.
As he spoke, he walked forward quickly, and soon he arrived at the cave with a radius of several dozen feet.
The moment he stood in the cave, Wei Changtian saw the dark and mysterious entrance to the cave.
"..."
Squinting his eyes and walking closer, he looked at them without saying a word for a long time. After a while, he asked softly:
"Uncle Liang, have the big families who built the temple been interrogated?"
"Tried it."
Liang Zhen nodded, and with a look he signaled the accompanying guards to retreat, and then answered truthfully:
"This temple was built fifty years ago, and the statue of the Snow God was also cast at that time."
"Although it was repaired several times later, it has never been recast."
"The heads of those wealthy families who built the temple at that time are all dead now, and the younger generations of the family say they have never heard them talk about this cave entrance."
"I sent people to search their house, but I couldn't find any clues..."
Soon, Liang Zhen finished explaining the results of the interrogation.
To put it bluntly, even when the temple was built fifty years ago, this cave entrance had not been seen, and the temple builders did not install any mechanism on the Snow God statue.
"Is it credible?"
Wei Changtian turned around and asked, "Was there any torture?"
"No punishment."
Liang Zhen shook his head: "It's just Miss Li who personally examined it. There should be no lies."
"Li Zimu tried it?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Okay, I get it..."
"..."
Dozens of torches were burning brightly, illuminating the entire cave very brightly.
However, the entrance to the cave was still dark, and it really looked like a black hole from which not even light could escape.
Staring at the entrance of the cave, Wei Changtian frowned slightly and his expression became more solemn.
Since it was reviewed by Li Zimu, there should be no problem with the result.
Therefore, this cave entrance only appeared after the mountain temple was repaired, and the mechanism of the statue was also installed later.
And if these things are not done by those big companies, they can only be done by... people "over there".
"Uncle Liang."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian turned around and asked, "How many bones are there in the cave?"
"One hundred and eighty-two in total."
Liang Zhen had obviously sent someone to count them a long time ago, and immediately replied: "One hundred and thirty demon bones and fifty-two human bones."
"One hundred and eighty..."
Wei Changtian's pupils shrank, and after a while he lowered his voice and continued:
"Uncle Liang, I have figured out the origin of this cave."
"This is a teleportation array, connected to a snowfield east of Dajue..."
"..."
In a few words, Wei Changtian recounted the information he had obtained from Xu Suisui.
Liang Zhen was naturally shocked after hearing this. However, before he could think about it carefully, Wei Changtian's next words made his hair stand on end for a moment.
"Uncle Liang, Xu Suisui also said that this formation is not particularly stable. An accident will occur about once every hundred times, and everyone, whether human or demon, will die within a few breaths after the transmission is completed."
"These bones must have died here due to accidents."
"And since there are one hundred and eighty, then..."
After a pause, Wei Changtian turned his gaze to the pile of neatly stacked bones in the corner.
"Uncle Liang."
"This means that in the past fifty years, nearly 20,000 people and demons came to Liangzhou from Dajue through this formation."
