Chapter 1604 - 1604 The scarred Plains (1)
1604 The scarred Plains (1)
After leaving the teleportation array, Tang Zhen went straight to the edge of Heiss ‘territory.
There was an invisible force field between this territory and the scarred plain. If one wanted to leave this place and enter the scarred plain, they would have to go through a specially opened pa.s.sage.
It wasn’t just this place that had an invisible force field. There were similar force fields in the other fiefs to prevent the wild cultivators and Wanderers from running around.
In the past few days, countless cultivators and monsters from other worlds had appeared at the border, trying to cross this invisible force field, but none of them had succeeded.
As time pa.s.sed, the cultivators from the other world understood one thing, and that was to never get close to the invisible force field, or else it would be equivalent to seeking death.
The field cultivators in Hessian territory did not dare to approach the invisible force field. Every time they wanted to go out, they had to pay a certain fee.
Origin stones were the main currency in the 5th battle area. Brain pearls and coin of destiny could also be used, but the former’s value was slightly lower, while the latter was only used by sector Lord level cultivators and was rarely seen on the market.
Tang Zhen didn’t lack origin stones. When it was his turn, he casually handed over a few origin stones and obtained the certificate to exit seclusion.
This kind of certificate was bound to the soul information to prevent cultivators from the other world from entering Hessian’s territory under an imposter’s name after obtaining it.
This kind of thing happened quite often, and the reason was actually very simple.
For the cultivators from the other world, the scarred plain was just a wild land. Although it did not lack natural energy, it could not be compared to Heiss ‘territory, which had been in operation for many years.
If they could have a better living environment, who would be willing to live here?
It was a pity that the checks in Heiss ‘territory were extremely strict, and 99% of the foreign cultivators could not sneak in. They had no choice but to find ways to intercept and kill the itinerant cultivators from Heiss’ territory in order to obtain the various materials they needed.
Therefore, the journey from the checkpoint to the cracked plain was definitely the most dangerous one. At this time, the wild cultivators would take the initiative to stick together and only spread out after they had safely left this place.
Tang Zhen followed the crowd and walked out of the checkpoint. What appeared in front of him was a boundless land. There was almost no mountain peak as far as the eye could see. It was as flat as if it had been ironed.
Tang Zhen wasn’t clear about the specific area, and no one had estimated it. However, according to the introduction of the plant spirit, it should be equivalent to the area of ten Holy Dragon battlefields!
Compared to this, the original world could only be considered an island in the sea.
However, on this flat land, a huge and deep crack could be seen every few hundred miles. Gray smoke emitted from the crack, making people feel very uncomfortable.
It was as if countless cracks had appeared on his smooth skin, a completely sickly symptom.
Tang Zhen’s spiritual energy also felt a little uncomfortable after sensing this scene.
There was no other reason, but from time to time, some strange-looking creatures would crawl out of the smoke. They would circle the edge of the crack for a moment before burrowing into the nearby gra.s.s and woods.
If the crack was a disease of the earth, the cultivators and monsters from the other world were parasites that bred, wantonly absorbing the nutrients of the land while ruthlessly destroying it.
It was fine if it was in the past. However, this place now belonged to him. Tang Zhen could not allow this kind of thing to continue no matter what.
He was going to clean up the place. Those who chose to obey could continue to stay here, and those who didn’t, there was no need for them to exist.
From the beginning, Tang Zhen didn’t intend to kill all the cultivators from the other world. He only wanted to clean up those monsters.
“Brother, don’t block the way. The group behind is ready to set off.”
Just as Tang Zhen was observing his surroundings, a voice came from behind him. It turned out that a group of rogue cultivators had formed a team and were preparing to enter the cracked Plains.
There were at least 2000 people in this group, and most of them were Lord level cultivators. There were a dozen King level cultivators among them, and they seemed to be the leaders of the group.
Tang Zhen dodged to the side and stood at the edge of the road. He was not in a hurry to leave.
“Little brother, if you’re alone, you’d better follow us. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go far!”
The one who shouted for Tang Zhen to make way was an old man with white hair and a white beard. He was wearing a slightly old leather armor with a few obvious patches on it.
He had a shield in his hand, a saber at his waist, and a bronze helmet full of blade marks on his head. He seemed to be in dire straits.
Behind the old man were a dozen or so young people. Their equipment was similar to the old man’s, and compared to the other teams, they were obviously much more shabby.
“You’re all on the same side. Are you also going to the cracked Plains to hunt for alien cultivators?”
Tang Zhen casually asked. It was true that the equipment of this group was too inferior. Going over in this manner was no different from courting death.
In his senses, he had found many King-level cultivators and monsters from the other world. If one’s strength was lower than the Lord-level, they would not even be qualified to enter this place.
we’re only picking some medicinal herbs and ores. We don’t dare to fight with those foreign cultivators. Those wolf cubs are too fierce and fight with no regard for their lives. The newbies behind me are no match for them!
The old man’s voice was filled with vicissitudes of life and a trace of emotion, as if he had a past that he could not bear to look back on.
“Old man, how much do you know about the rift plain?”
Tang Zhen only had general information about the cracked Plains, but he knew nothing about the specific situation. Therefore, it was necessary to find someone who was familiar with the environment here and all kinds of secret information to help him.
If this old man was capable of doing this, Tang Zhen would not mind giving him a chance.
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the old man carefully sized him up and said in an indifferent tone, young man, if you’re planning to make a fortune here, I advise you to go back as soon as possible. Although there are many opportunities to make a fortune in the cracked Plains, there are not many that can really make a fortune!
if the path we’re going to take next is paved with white bones, then near the crack that is rich in resources, even if we dig three feet deep, we’ll only find the remains of rotten bones.
especially when the tide season comes and the cracks spit out the treasures from the other world, almost every crack will set off a b.l.o.o.d.y slaughter. Out of 100 cultivators, it’s already good enough if half of them can leave!
When Tang Zhen heard this, he frowned and asked,”What’s going on with the tide season?”
The old man used a surprised gaze to sweep over Tang Zhen, as if he did not understand why Tang Zhen would ask such a question. After all, this was something that everyone knew.
Seeing that Tang Zhen’s expression did not appear to be fake, the old man finally began to explain. The more Tang Zhen heard, the more surprised he became.
It turned out that this so-called tide season was actually a special kind of World Energy loss. It was said that these cracks were not only connected to shattered s.p.a.ce, but also to many other worlds.
According to the cultivators from the other world, there were natural altars in the worlds connected to these cracks.
The cultivators from the other world would collect a large number of treasures as sacrifices. When these treasures acc.u.mulated to a certain extent, the altar would change. While erupting the heaven and earth energy of the scarred plain, it would also absorb the sacrifices.
As a result, the cracks spurted out treasures regularly, and from time to time, it would also sweep in nearby cultivators and monsters.
It sounded as if the cultivators of the cracked Plains had an advantage, but that was not the case.
It had to be known that the world Energy that flowed in from the fifth battle area was enough to form an energy tide in the other world. Not only could it give birth to countless natural treasures, but it could also provide a large number of cultivators to improve their strength.
The sacrifices they provided were only equivalent to planting a seed, but the result was a hundred times better!
The corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth twitched when he heard this. No wonder he felt that the heaven and earth energy concentration here was not as high as that of Heiss. It turned out that a portion of it would be extracted by the other world regularly!
The long-term loss of heaven and earth energy without timely replenishment had ultimately benefited the otherworldly cultivators.
Tang Zhen absolutely couldn’t tolerate this kind of poaching behavior!
