Lin Jin and Lao Jun waited for a while until there was no movement outside. Then they looked at each other and decided to go out and take a look.
This cave is a dead end with no other exit, and the fairy mountain's geology is special. Techniques such as earth escape cannot be used here. Turning back is the only way out.
Laojun was still cautious, and used a spell at the entrance of the cave to gather a spiritual bird to replace his eyes, and flew out to check the situation. If there was danger, he would not go out.
It's just that Laojun looked around with his spiritual bird instead of his eyes, his expression was quite shocked.
"Let's go out." He pulled Lin Jin out. Seeing the situation outside, Lin Jin knew why Lao Jun was like this.
The outside was filled with the corpses of the giant toad before. Because the size of this giant beast was huge enough, the corpses were now mutilated and scattered within a hundred miles around. You can imagine how shocking the scene was.
Lin Jin's scalp went numb when he saw this scene.
The point is not so many corpses, but what killed so many giant rock toads in a period of time.
You must know that these are not ordinary ferocious beasts, they are existences that have reached the eighth level. If any one is placed in the middle-earth, it can cause great changes and no one can defeat it. But here in the Immortal Mountain, it can be easily hunted.
"It's the swallowing fairy beast." Laojun said.
He was guessing, because in his opinion, the only one who could easily kill so many eighth-level beasts was the ninth-level immortal swallowing beast, and no one else could do this.
Wasn't this also the case when the immortal-swallowing beasts hunted immortals?
Devastated, almost crushed.
Contrary to Lao Jun's guess, Lin Jin found solid evidence. He found a scale the size of a millstone next to the body of a giant rock toad.
The scales were multicolored, as thick as three fingers, and extremely hard. After Lin Jin's identification, he knew that the scales belonged to the Immortal Swallowing Beast. It could be seen that the Immortal Swallowing Beast also suffered some injuries when it hunted this group of rock toads.
Lao Jun saw Lin Jin's palms pressed against the scales and was lost in thought, so he also walked in to take a look.
"Lin Jin, what's wrong?"
Lin Jin didn't hide anything: "Old man, this fairy-swallowing beast is a little strange now."
Laojun was puzzled. After all, even though Laojun had great supernatural powers, he still couldn't tell the current status of the Immortal-Swallowing Beast from just one scale, but Lin Jin could.
"Why is it so strange?" Laojun asked because he didn't understand.
Lin Jin thought for a while: "This fairy-swallowing beast has been a little out of control recently."
Laojun didn't quite understand this at first. What does it mean to be out of control? No one can control the Immortal Swallowing Beast, so how can we talk about losing control? Fortunately, Lin Jin put it in another way. This is like a person who acts according to certain rules.
It's as if he suddenly started not following the rules.
Lao Jun understood it as soon as he heard this, and his expression changed immediately.
wrong.
The rule of this immortal beast is to kill the immortals. If this rule is changed, the problem will be big. What Laojun is afraid of is not that the other party will let the immortals go, but that they will start killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Isn’t that what it’s like to look at these giant rock toads?
The beasts on the Immortal Mountain are not immortals. Why should the Immortal Swallowing Beast be hunted?
"Perhaps, this matter is also related to the appearance of the world's destruction." Laojun made a guess.
Lin Jin nodded.
According to the results of his appraisal, this was almost the same. In addition, when identifying the Immortal Swallowing Beast this time, Lin Jin also saw another piece of information from the Beast Museum.
That is the origin of the Immortal Swallowing Beast.
Lin Jin had already speculated before that this immortal-swallowing beast was so powerful that it might have been transformed from a fragment of the cornerstone of Heaven's Dao. Now that it was re-identified, it turned out to be exactly what Lin Jin had imagined.
This ninth level immortal swallowing beast is transformed from a fragment of the foundation stone of heaven.
From this point of view, the so-called loss of control does not only refer to the ninth-level immortal swallowing beast, but also refers to the cornerstone of heaven. Combined with Lao Jun's world-destroying hexagram, Lin Jin is now basically certain that there is something wrong with the cornerstone of heaven.
On the way here, Lin Jin already knew from Lao Jun that the life span of the world is extremely long. The world went from chaos, to the creation of the world, to chaos again. This is a reincarnation, a reincarnation lasting tens of millions of years, or even longer. This
It is the reincarnation of heaven, and no one can avoid it.
But this reincarnation of heaven and earth is definitely more than that. According to Laojun's calculation, there is at least more than half of the time before the next reincarnation of heaven and earth returns to chaos, that is, in millions of years, it is impossible to return to chaos in the last few years.
All we can say is that the problem must lie with the cornerstone of the Way of Heaven.
Lin Jin and Lao Jun continued to go up the mountain. They were measuring the fairy mountain with steps at the moment. It was estimated that it would take some time to reach the top of the mountain where the cornerstone of Heaven's Dao was. Fortunately, Lin Jin and Lao Jun were not ordinary mortals, and they used various methods.
, the top of the mountain that ordinary people could not climb for a hundred years, the two of them had reached it in just a few days.
Along the way, the two encountered several dangers, but fortunately they were resolved. Once, they were almost discovered by the ninth-level Immortal Swallowing Beast. At that time, the Immortal Swallowing Beast was hunting another group of fairy mountain beasts, and the two sides fought.
Lin Jin's understanding of the world was refreshed by what he saw and heard.
The closer you get to the top of the fairy mountain, the more terrifying the beasts you encounter, some of which are close to the ninth level.
Lao Jun told Lin Jin that there were no such ferocious beasts in this fairy mountain before. No need to ask, they must have been gradually formed in the past two thousand years. The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Lin Jin already had an idea in his mind.
Beasts cannot appear out of thin air. It should be the fairy beasts from other places in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Realm that enter the Fairy Mountain. However, I have seen the fairy beast forest outside the Fairy Mountain. Although it is also powerful, it is much worse than the one in the Fairy Mountain.
The key point here is that these fairy beasts only changed after entering the fairy mountain.
For example, those rock toads, Lin Jin has identified them, and their prototype is just a sixth-order immortal toad, which is also very common in Jiutian Xuanjie.
The sixth-level immortal beast actually became an eighth-level beast in the Immortal Mountain.
Moreover, their size and combat power have also been improved by several levels. You must know that there is no beast appraiser in the fairy mountain to guide these fairy beasts. They can advance completely by themselves.
This further shows that the fairy mountain is the main reason that affects the advancement of these fairy beasts.
What Lin Jin was thinking about was how to advance Xiao Huo from the eighth level to the ninth level. There was no information in the Beast Museum, so Lin Jin had never thought about it before. But now, with his accumulation in identifying beasts over the years, Lin Jin felt that he had found it.
He found a way to advance Xiao Huo to the eighth level.
The key is in this fairy mountain.
Xiaohuo has to advance in the Immortal Mountain to be able to advance to the ninth level. In other words, the world is so big that no one place can do it. Only in the Immortal Mountain can a ninth-level beast be born.
No one told Lin Jin this idea, Lin Jin made his own judgment.
Although it has not yet been verified, Lin Jin is more than 80% sure. He did not expect that the things that had troubled Lin Jin for more than a year would actually turn around at this time.
And this is not the guidance given by the Beast Museum, it is completely the method that Lin Jin came up with himself.
Along the way, Lin Jin also saw various plants and animals in the Fairy Mountain. The beasts that wanted to live here had already formed their own food chain ecosystem.
If a small fire wants to reach the realm, it must adapt to the Fairy Mountain in a short period of time and become the pinnacle of the food chain in the Fairy Mountain.
Just like a ninth-level immortal swallowing beast.
"Lin Jin, look over there, that is the cornerstone of heaven." At this time, Lao Jun's voice interrupted Lin Jin's thoughts. At this moment, Lin Jin looked up and immediately saw a huge black rectangular body together with the sky and the earth.
Standing on the top of the fairy mountain.
No need to ask, this black rectangular stone is the cornerstone of heaven.
