After entering the palace, Chu Ci could feel that the spiritual energy here was much stronger than other places. If vegetables were grown here, cherry tomatoes could be grown into large tomatoes.
Looking around the palace, Chu Ci touched his chin: "This place can be used for living. It will save me the trouble of building another house."
Even though the palace is only made of bamboo, its appearance is beautiful and solemn, and its structure is very solid and reliable. The interior of the palace is warm in winter and cool in summer, with a faint fragrance of bamboo, making it very suitable for living.
And I don’t know if it was Chu Ci’s illusion, but he felt that as he stayed here longer, his soul’s connection with heaven and earth would also improve, and he would feel much more relaxed when he comprehended it.
Suddenly, Chu Ci's eyes moved and he looked up.
On the dome above the palace, there is a caisson ceiling, carved with two dragons, forming an arch.
These two dragons have strong bodies, powerful claws, vivid carvings, and a majestic aura that overflows from the surface, enough to make anyone who sees them admire them.
Although Chu Ci was also amazed by the exquisite carvings, his attention was more on the two dragons.
No, it’s the breath carried by the two dragons.
In one of the dragons, Chu Ci felt an aura similar to that of the temple outside.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Ci slowly used his divine power to touch the dragon.
The moment the divine power came into contact with the carved dragon, a picture appeared in Chu Ci's mind.
There was a dark mountain road with numerous trees on both sides. Chu Ci could even hear the crisp chirping of birds in the trees.
Looking forward along the mountain road, at the end of the mountain road is a city with bright lights.
Looking at this familiar scene, Chu Ci was shocked.
"This is——Nine Songs City!"
This is the perspective seen from the statues in the temple outside!
Not only that, Chu Ci had a vague feeling in his heart that he could leave the virtual world directly through this dragon without having to go to the portal of the virtual world.
"Is this palace connected to the temple?"
Chu Ci couldn't help but think of it.
If this is really the case, what is the other dragon?
After thinking for a while, Chu Ci used his divine power to touch another dragon.
What surprised Chu Ci was that after coming into contact with the dragon, the perspective connected to the temple did not appear in his mind, and nothing changed.
No, it cannot be said that there has been no change. The feeling of being able to leave the virtual world by carving a dragon is still there.
After thinking silently for a while, Chu Ci murmured to himself: "Let's go and see."
With the decision made, Chu Ci no longer hesitated and injected divine power into the carved dragon.
The next second, he disappeared into the virtual world.
On the border of Chengyang Prefecture, halfway up a mountain, there is a small temple like a shrine.
A fat brown mouse was standing in front of the temple, looking curiously at the strange building in front of him.
As a mountain rat that has lived nearby for several years, it has visited this area countless times and has become very familiar with it. But tonight, a large, strange-shaped box suddenly appeared here.
Yes, from the perspective of this mountain rat, this temple is just a big box.
After walking around the "big box" a few times, the mountain rat was a little excited.
Although this box looks strange, it is very empty and warm inside, which is many times stronger than the cave it dug.
"Whoops!"
Just when Shan Shu was thinking about how to move his family here, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the temple.
Looking at the unfamiliar mountain forest scene and the familiar temple in front of him, Chu Ci was a little confused.
Where is this?
Also, why did he have an extra temple?
Chu Ci could feel the close connection between the divine throne and the temple in front of him, which meant that the temple in front of him, like the one in Jiuge City, was a temple gifted to him by heaven and earth.
"Zhizhi——"
Just as Chu Ci was observing his surroundings, a black shadow suddenly swished past Chu Ci's feet and rushed towards the dark depths of the jungle.
Chu Ci's eyes moved, and he stretched out his hand to grab the mountain rat, which had escaped several meters away.
"Squeak!"
The mountain rat grinned its teeth and scurried around with its limbs, threatening the giant creature in front of it.
But this threat seemed so ridiculous to Chu Ci.
Chu Ci raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that a random mountain rat would be so spiritual. I estimate that in a year or two, you will be able to cultivate into a demon."
"It's unlucky for you to meet me. Mountain rat monsters are very harmful to some mountain villages that depend on the mountains. You can't be allowed to grow like this."
"But I'm not a demon, so I won't deprive you of your opportunity. Well, let's do this. I'll release you into the mountains. Whether you can become a demon or not depends on your own destiny."
Chu Ci flew into the sky and prepared to check the location of the nearest mountain village so that he could release the mountain rats in the opposite direction.
But when he saw it, Chu Ci was stunned.
As far as he could see, there was endless wilderness on one side, and dark mountains and dense forests on the other side. There was no trace of human activity on either side.
"Where is this?!"
The wilderness was clearly visible, and it was obvious that no one could survive, so Chu Ci took the mountain rat and flew deep into the forest.
But after flying for half an hour, Chu Ci was still wandering in the deep mountains.
After thinking for a while, Chu Ci changed his approach and flew higher.
Looking down at the mountains getting smaller and smaller before his eyes, Chu Ci finally saw the whole area where he was.
This is a mountain range composed of continuous mountains, and the place where he was just now happened to be at the boundary of one of the mountains. A little further away was the endless wilderness.
Chu Ci could feel that the location of his Jiuge City Temple was at the end of the wasteland.
"Here is——"
"One hundred thousand mountains!"
Chu Ci was shocked. He didn't expect that the virtual world would bring him here.
Shiwandashan is a restricted area that almost no one will set foot on, because this is the territory of monsters!
Deep in the Shiwan Mountain, there are countless monsters living, including many great monsters.
In the demon clan chaos that affected the entire land of China, more than half of the demon beasts came from Shiwanda Mountain.
Especially after the great demons were exterminated in the God Realm, some of the surviving great demons also fled into the depths of the Shiwan Mountain. It can be said that this is one of the most dangerous areas on the land of China.
"Why is my other temple here?"
Chu Ci was very puzzled. He had no connection with Shiwandashan, so why did the temple appear here without incident?
Back near the temple, Chu Ci looked at the mountain rat that was foaming at the mouth because of fear of heights, and threw it aside.
The moment the mountain rat touched the ground, it suddenly became energetic and lost its previous sluggishness. It ran into the jungle nearby at an extremely fast speed and disappeared without a trace.
Chu Ci didn't chase him, he already knew Shan Shu was pretending to be dead.
Since this is a mountain with hundreds of thousands of people, it doesn’t matter whether the mountain rats become monsters or not. After all, this place is full of monsters. One more of them is not more, and one less of them is not more.
Moreover, this place is in the wilderness, far away from human cities, so Chu Ci is not worried about it harming human beings.
Shiwandashan is at the border of Chengyang Prefecture. The nearest city from here is three to four hundred miles away. There is also a section of wasteland with harsh environment in the middle, which acts as a buffer zone between Shiwandashan and human cities.
Speaking of which, Jiuge City is also one of the cities closest to Shiwanda Mountain. Is the appearance of the temple here related to this reason?
