Volume 1: Abandoned Land Chapter 74: Earth Fissure Abyss
In the southwest of the Later Zhou Dynasty, there is a huge crack that stretches endlessly and can almost fit the entire Demon Burial Mountain. It is winding and winding, like a huge scar that penetrates into the flesh and blood, embedded in the earth. The cultivators call it "earth"
"The abyss" is what common people call it "the ditch".
There are also different opinions about the origin of the Earth Splitting Abyss. Among them, the most widely circulated and most credible one is related to the demonic catastrophe 30,000 years ago.
The demon soldiers and demon soldiers fought fiercely here. The demonic energy soared into the sky and the demonic power was so powerful that hundreds of millions of creatures stained the earth with blood. Just as the battle between the two sides was heating up, several people from the demon clan who were highly skilled in the world worked together to bring out the demon clan's treasure and jointly mobilized
With just one blow, a demon clan ancestor and tens of millions of demon soldiers were killed here. This is where the earth-fissuring abyss stretching for five million miles came from.
After 30,000 years of brewing and fermentation, the abyss is full of poisonous miasma and filled with evil spirits. However, due to the fissure of the abyss, countless demon flesh and blood are buried in it. Over time, many spiritual things have been born, which has attracted countless cultivators and demons.
Beasts came here to look for them. Together with the two major immortal sects of the later Zhou Dynasty, Fentian Valley Yuling Sect, they also chose this place for the trials of their disciples.
In front of a hilltop on the edge of the abyss, there is dense vegetation all around. It seems that because of a heavy rain just now, the branches and leaves of the forest are green and green, and even the air is much fresher. At a glance, the world seems to have been washed away.
It gives people a refreshing and refreshing feeling.
Nearly 20,000 outer disciples of Fentian Valley Yuling Sect gathered here, whispering among themselves, making it extremely noisy.
"This trial is three months earlier than in previous years. Does Brother Chen know what's going on?"
"I don't know the specifics, but it should be related to the current battle. Maybe the sect wants us outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect as soon as possible to improve our strength."
"I don't think so. This time our Burning Sky Valley and Yuling Sect are testing together, and the sect stipulates that we must set foot in those unknown areas to engrave maps. There must be some deep meaning. By the way, Miss Huo'er, you guys have just started here a few days ago
Why are your disciples here too?"
A young man with a folding fan and a fair face shook his head and said. Then, he changed his voice and looked towards the woman in fiery red next to him. There was a faint trace of admiration in his eyes, but when his eyes turned to Yao Huo'er's side,
When he saw the young man, his face suddenly darkened again.
"Haha, brother Liu, don't you know the rules of this trial? As long as you are an outer disciple, no matter how long you have been a disciple, you must come to participate in the trial. Although Huo'er and I have only been in for a few days, we are not an exception."
As soon as the white-faced young man finished speaking, Fu Yinglong beside him had already replied with a smile, while Yao Huo'er beside him was giggling, seeming to be extremely interested in the bickering between the two.
Hearing this, the face of the white-faced young man turned completely gloomy. Looking at the chatting and laughing couple, he laughed angrily and said, "Haha, Brother Fu is as sharp-tongued as ever. I hope he can still be like this in the abyss of the Earth Fissure!"
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and stood up alone with his eyes closed and his legs crossed.
"There are quite a few fellow sects like us who have sneaked in here, but I don't know what the Zhou Xianmen's plans are in the future."
Fu Yinglong took out the ancient psychic jade and looked at it, then looked at the figures standing on the hilltop in the distance, and said with some confusion.
In addition to these outer disciples, there are five or six elders of the two sects with different looks on the top of the mountain, as well as a woman in her twenties with a phoenix skirt, a green skirt, and a red mole on her eyebrows, with a cold expression. Behind the woman, there is a copper-like figure.
Like pillars, stood two middle-aged men with blood all over their bodies, holding weapons and bronze armor, and an old man with a bun and white eyebrows.
The elders of the two sects stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the dark abyss beneath their feet and the group of excited-looking outer disciples at the foot of the mountain, shaking their heads and sighing.
"The time has come, let them take these life-threatening pills and go in!"
Looking at the sky, the woman in the phoenix skirt spoke softly, as if she was talking about a trivial matter, without any emotion in her tone.
After the voice fell, the white-browed old man behind him took a step forward, waved his hand, and hundreds of green jade bottles fell into the hands of the elders of the two factions. Hearing this, the elders of the two factions looked at each other for a few times, seeming a little hesitant.
"You two seniors don't know the truth behind the death of lips and cold teeth, right? The next week, when the nest is overturned, there will be no intact eggs. The country is about to be destroyed. We can only risk our lives and sacrifice some disciples, so what does it matter!"
Feng Mu glanced at these elders, and Zhou Jiufeng spoke coldly. Behind him, the white-browed old man had an expressionless face, and the aura from his body came out unreservedly. The aura was so strong that it had almost reached the limit of the Jindan ancestor.
"What the Ninth Princess said is reasonable. It is the kindness of women like me!"
Elder Hu sighed softly, and after speaking, he pointed his finger, and the jade bottle shattered with a sound. Hundreds of white light wrapped the pills and flew towards the disciples below.
Upon seeing this, the other elders no longer hesitated, and the spiritual light spread out like rain, landing in the hands of every outer disciple with extreme precision.
Danwan is about the size of broad beans, has a light blue-black color, looks extremely inconspicuous, and has no odor at all.
After all the disciples had taken a life-threatening pill, an old voice suddenly rang out, "These life-threatening pills are refined by me personally. After swallowing them, they can be invulnerable to all poisons and have a great impact on the poisonous miasma in the abyss."
The power of restraint, in order to prevent someone from taking these pills away secretly, you'd better take these pills in front of me."
As the words fell, a subtle mental wave suddenly appeared, lingering around these disciples without leaving.
Seeing this, Fu Yinglong frowned, glanced at Yao Huo'er without any trace, hesitated slightly, and swallowed it directly.
After all the disciples had taken the life-threatening pills, the white-browed old man just nodded and returned behind Zhou Jiufeng without saying a word.
Following the orders given by the elders of the two factions, these disciples roared like dumplings from a pot, and all of them fell into the abyss of the ground below. After a while, they disappeared without a trace.
"My royal family is not a cold-blooded person. We are weak in the later weeks. In the final analysis, it is because we do not have top combat power. As long as our ancestors can successfully break through to Yuanying this time, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms will naturally retreat. It is not a big deal to sacrifice some disciples.
What, I, Jiufeng, am here to promise you that as long as we survive this crisis of national subjugation, the Burning Sky Valley Yuling Sect will retire with the country, and as long as the following Zhou Dynasty is still there, your two sects will not cut off the inheritance!"
"Does the Ninth Princess really mean what she said?"
Hearing this, Elder Hu of Fentian Valley looked up, the dejection on his face disappeared, and he confirmed with some disbelief.
"Hmph, I, the royal family of the Later Zhou Dynasty, have always kept their word, but what Elder Hu said was a bit of a gaffe!"
"Haha, I'm just speaking out of the blue. I hope the Ninth Princess won't blame you."
"That's all, let's not talk about this anymore. When will your people come? There is no room for failure in this plan, and it must be done only by people you can trust!"
Zhou Jiufeng waved her hand and changed her voice.
"Ninth Princess, don't worry. This time our Fentian Valley is personally selected by the head brother. It is absolutely reliable. The news has just been sent and we will be able to gather here in two days."
"The same goes for our Yuling Sect!"
"In this case, you two will assist the elders to guard this place. Mr. Fang, you and I will go first. After the matter here is settled, all the elders will go to Tianyuan City to meet together!"
Zhou Jiufeng thought for a moment, turned his head, and gave instructions to the two men in bronze armor behind him. Then he signaled to the white-browed old man. Finally, his eyes fell on the elders of the two sects, and he said with a tone that was unquestionable.
When everyone responded, Zhou Jiufeng glanced at the bottomless abyss below, stretched out his body, like a real phoenix bird, turned into a stream of red light and galloped away, followed closely by the white-browed old man behind him.
.
Tianyuan City is the city closest to the Earth Split Abyss. Due to its geographical advantage, Tianyuan City once became the gathering place for cultivators of the entire Later Zhou Dynasty. It is as picturesque and prosperous as an immortal palace. It can almost be said to be the center of the immortal world of the Later Zhou Dynasty.
But now, countless soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty armed with weapons and armor were stationed around, and there were even some soldiers riding birds and animals patrolling back and forth. The sky and the earth were like a prison.
The same is true in the city. The spacious and flat bluestone avenue is patrolled by armored soldiers, just like a strategic fortress.
Apart from these armors, there was not a single person in the entire city. However, in the four directions of southeast, northwest, there were four huge light shields covering thousands of feet like domes, visible to the naked eye. Countless men, women, old and young were locked in these like livestock.
Inside the light shield, there was no way to get in or out, and there were constant roars and wailings, looking desperately at the world outside the light shield. However, due to the isolation of the light shield, the sounds inside could not be heard. The whole city was silent except for the uniform footsteps of soldiers.
silent.
In the center of the city, on a high platform of more than thirty feet, nearly a hundred figures stood one after another. The leader was wearing a yellow robe and a golden crown. He was extremely handsome, but his face was unusually cold, and he was staring straight at someone in the void.
