"The battle three years ago caused the tectonic plates of Xuanling Continent to undergo distortions under the residual power of countless masters' battles."
"It was this distortion that caused the earth's crust to be squeezed and towering into mountains, forming a giant mountain range that blocked the north and south and ran through the east and west, dividing the entire Xuanling Continent into two."
"This towering existence that spans tens of millions of miles is called the Qitian Mountain Range. The lowest peak has an altitude of 9,999 feet."
"Oh no, isn't that nearly 10,000 feet high?"
"Thousands of feet high in the sky, there is an extremely lethal storm blade, raging in the atmosphere. Even the body-protecting profound energy of the Xuanhuang Realm cannot withstand it for long..." Chen Shentu murmured to himself.
When he first fluttered his wings and flew high, he challenged the limit of flying height with high spirits.
When it reaches the top of ten thousand feet, the thinness of the oxygen is secondary, and the most important thing is the strange energy of the wind, raging like a knife!
This caused him to encounter great resistance in using the Glazed Sky Feather, and he had to give up his plan to continue flying high.
Hearing this, Xiang Nanren's bright eyes flashed: "Oh, I didn't expect you to know about the atmospheric storm?"
"That's right. The lowest peak of Qitian Mountain Range is 9999 feet. The highest peak is unknown. Maybe... no one can reach the top at all, right?"
"With the Qitian Mountains blocking the way, it would be difficult for cultivators in the secular world to reach the world of cultivation on their own."
"Below the Xuanhuang realm, there is absolutely no possibility of success. Even if you are a Xuanhuang master, if you want to withstand the atmospheric storm, the possibility of flying across the Qitian Mountains is not high."
"The Qitian Mountains and the powerful wind are the main reasons that prevent the rich spiritual energy of the cultivation world from flowing into the secular world..."
After listening to what Xiang Nanren said, Chen Shen still had doubts in his mind: "Even the powerful Xuanhuang can't resist the atmospheric storm, and the rocks in the mountains have been blown away for many years, but nothing happened?"
Xiang Nan Ren Yanran smiled: "You don't know something. The Qitian Mountains are not made of ordinary rocks, but are formed by the extrusion of crustal plates."
"It is rumored that the ground thousands of feet deep is not extraordinary soil, but something harder than the stone marrow of a dragon bone. Atmospheric storms cannot damage it at all."
"Hiss... a material that is not even damaged by atmospheric storms was actually destroyed by 99% in that war 30,000 years ago?"
Chen Shen couldn't help but admire: "The methods used by the people in that war were truly unparalleled."
After thinking for a while, the young man spoke again: "Since the Qitian Mountain Range divides the existing Xuanling Continent into two, does that mean that the southern part of the continent is the secular world with thin Xuanqi and spiritual energy, and the northern part of the continent is the cultivation world?"
Xiang Nanren nodded slowly: "That's about it. However, the Qitian Mountains formed by the distortion of the earth's crust does not divide the entire continent into two regularly. There are still many bumps and twists."
"That's it..." Chen Shen rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled with interest and said: "Hey, I didn't expect that the bodyguard sister knows so much about the world of cultivation. Could it be possible... you were also in the world of cultivation before?
people?"
Xiang Nanren looked out the window calmly: "Don't try to trick me."
"Uh... well, if you don't tell me, I won't ask." Chen Shen shrugged.
After a brief silence, Xiang Nanren spoke again: "Don't you want to go to the cultivation world? I do know a shortcut."
"oh?"
Facing the young man's longing gaze, the woman pursed her lips, as if struggling.
After a long while, he quietly said: "The shortcut is... the ceremony of accepting disciples from hundreds of sects."
"A hundred sects accept disciples? You mean... let me join the sect?" Chen Shen thought thoughtfully.
"That's right."
Xiang Nan said unhurriedly: "Every ten years, each sect in the cultivation world will send so-called envoys to the world to select talented monks from the secular world to join their sect, injecting freshness into their respective sects.
of blood.”
"Ah? But didn't you say before that the Qitian Mountains separate the world of cultivation from the secular world, so it's not easy for cultivators in the Xuanhuang realm to fly across? Is it possible that... the minimum standard for recruiting disciples in the world of cultivation is Xuanhuang
territory?"
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke if they become members of the sect but have to stay in the secular world because they cannot cross the mountain?"
Xiang Nanren seemed to have guessed that the other party would ask this question, and explained calmly: "There is a sound transmission array in the secular world that can transmit messages and communicate."
"In the cultivation world, there is a teleportation array that is superior to it. After using huge resources to build teleportation points, living people can be transported to and from each other at will."
"The disciples who participated in the Hundred Sects' Disciple Recruitment Ceremony and were selected will naturally use the power of the formation to move from the secular world to the cultivation world, ignoring the atmospheric storm."
"It's just that at the same distance, the amount of spiritual stones consumed by the teleportation array is hundreds or even thousands of times higher than that of the sound transmission array!"
"It is precisely because the teleportation array consumes so much resources that the cultivation world holds a ceremony to recruit disciples every ten years, and most sects will collectively contribute money to share the consumption of spiritual stones, and then transfer the disciples they have received to the cultivation world.
Go to the same place, and then go back to each faction."
"I see."
Chen Shen couldn't help but think that when he was in the Moon Forbidden Abyss, he was also transported directly to the core of the forbidden area by a teleportation array, and then he ran into the battle between the Underworld Hydra and the Biluo Bloodthirsty Lizard, and got a big advantage afterwards.
Moreover, when he was killing Da Inu Zhengyi in Tai Kou Palace not long ago, two outer elders of the Beast Refining Sect appeared out of thin air.
Now that I think about it, this should also be the power of the teleportation array...
Xiang Nanren's explanation was very detailed, which made Chen Shen suddenly understand. At the same time, he became more and more curious about the origin of this long-legged beauty.
However, as soon as his curiosity arose, his thoughts were cut off because of the other person's words: "As far as I know, in half a month, there will be a grand ceremony for accepting hundreds of disciples once every ten years."
"The venue, well, let me figure it out..."
"Yes, this time at the transfer point, it should be Ziwei's turn to go to the country."
"Ziwei comes to China?"
Chen Shen was stunned: "I have only heard of the seven empires. Shouldn't there be hundreds of kingdoms under the empire? What is the 'Shangguo' you are talking about?"
"This is a long story... To put it simply, Ziwei Shangguo is a very special country in the secular world."
Xiang Nanren said patiently: "In terms of national power, resources, territory, population, etc., the size of the Ziwei Kingdom is no less than that of the seven empires."
"However, this country is very strange. First, because the whole country values commerce over military affairs. It is the only existence in the secular world that has no army and yet has enjoyed peace for tens of thousands of years."
"I won't go into details about the specific reasons. You will know when you go to the cultivation world in the future."
Speaking of this, Xiang Nanren paused and added: "By the way, the family Zi Linglong was born into, the Zi Qiong Merchant Alliance, is the business elite of Ziwei Shangjun..."
