Chapter 785: A mere rank-9
The Magic City catacombs spanned ten thousand miles from east to west, and over two thousand miles from north to south.
This meant that the boundary was more than 2000 miles long.
In this 2000-mile area, the six rank-9 demons had divided the demonic city into six big blocks.
It was the nature of the demon race to occupy territory.
In order to seize territory in the precinct, they were actually s.n.a.t.c.hing the energy that seeped out of the precinct.
The larger the territory, the more energy it could permeate.
Fang ping quickly found the entrance to Magic City boundary.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, a boundary stone would lead to the gate.
Fang ping walked and stopped. Soon, he saw the black boundary stone in a plain area.
The virtue achievement stage!
Fang ping could barely recognize the three words. It was related to the last time he went to Xuande Grotto-heaven. The boundary stone of Xuande Grotto-heaven showed Xuande realm.
"Cheng Detian?"
"One of the ten heavenly pa.s.sages, the tenth heavenly pa.s.sage, Xuanji, Chengde, heaven of concealment?"
Fang ping was slightly surprised. Ever since he found out that the boundary lands were related to the paradisiacal lands, he had done a lot of research. In reality, the tenth paradisiacal land was not in Magic City, but in Eastern Wu.
However, Fang ping quickly realized that the six southern regions was the Dongwu catacombs.
It was no surprise that Kuocang mountain was the boundary of Magic City catacombs.
"Kuocang mountain...One of the ten great heavenly pa.s.sages!"
Fang ping had been to two of the 36 grotto-heavens, but he did not know the difference between the ten major grotto-heavens and the minor grotto-heavens.
He also knew that the first Grotto-heaven, Mount tianwu, was guarded by the Heavenly King suppression. Even now, Fang ping did not know which domain the first Grotto-heaven was in.
"A thousand years ago, there was a sect called the cliff sect in Kuocang mountain. I wonder if this cliff sect is related to Kuocang mountain."
Fang ping calculated in his heart for a while and looked at the regional wall in the distance.
Last time in Xuande Grotto-heaven, he had simulated the aura of Green Bull sect"s sect master and opened the regional wall.
Green Bull sect ... In the real world, Xuande Grotto-heaven was in the Taibai Mountain area, where there was also a Green Bull sect.
Therefore, since the mo ya sect was located in Kuocang mountain, and this place was indeed the heaven of virtue and concealment, the probability of mo ya sect being the outer sect of Kuocang mountain was not small.
"Let"s try!"
Fang ping looked around. It was not as if there were no demons nearby. There was a demon lair not far from the main entrance. However, the strongest was only a rank-8 monster, so he did not pay much attention to it.
Fang ping walked straight toward the main door behind the stone tablet. Very soon, a demon noticed him.
Fang ping did not panic. He spread out his mentality quickly, and his mentality fluctuated. He chided,"I want to return to my residence. Demons, retreat!"
He didn"t care if the demonic beast understood him or not, and walked straight to the main gate.
The demonic beast roared fiercely, but it stopped very quickly. Now was not the time for the regional wall to open, and the other party could not be bothered with Fang ping.
The aura Fang Pingping was exuding was comparable to a rank-9. If he wasn"t fighting for energy, the monsters wouldn"t be so stupid as to attack him now.
……
In front of the main entrance.
Fang ping raised his head to take a look, but he could not see anything clearly. If the regional wall did not explode with energy, he could not see anything inside.
"There"s no harm in trying ... The sect master of the cliff sect is a rank-eight elite, so I can now simulate it."
If it was the previous time, Fang ping could only imitate the aura of a rank-7 martial artist. He really could not do anything about it.
This time, however, he could simulate the aura of a rank-8 martial artist.
He could imitate all the auras he had seen before, as long as their strength was not higher than his.
The aura on Fang Ping"s body flickered. Not far away, the Porcupine-like demonic beast was dumbfounded.
Strange!
He changed just like that!
The demons here had lived their entire lives in the precinct. They might not even have seen a human before. In the eyes of this demon, Fang ping might be one of its kind, just that he looked a little strange.
The Porcupine was surprised, but Fang ping did not care.
The moment the aura on his body changed, Fang Ping"s expression changed slightly. The regional wall trembled slightly.
Extending his palm, Fang ping touched the regional wall lightly. He was not attacked, but he did not penetrate it either.
"It"s a very weak feeling, which means my guess was right. The cliff sect is indeed related to the Kuocang mountain. However, it might be because of the long pa.s.sage of time that the inheritance is lost and can no longer be opened. "
Fang ping felt a little regretful. It seemed like he had no way of opening the regional wall.
Unless he obtained the token of this place and simulated the aura of the tide during the eruption, he might be able to open a weak pa.s.sage.
"The boundary wall of the boundary region is actually a door. The way to distinguish it ... Might be through cultivation techniques."
Fang ping made a judgment in his heart. This time, he was only giving it a try. He did not have to enter it.
However, Fang ping still felt a little regretful that he could not get in even though he had already arrived.
It wasn"t easy to get in this time, and he was blocked at the door. It was quite a pity.
Fang ping continued to simulate other people"s auras, but it was useless.
Other people"s auras would often cause the regional walls to retaliate.
"What a pity!"
At this moment, Fang ping suddenly touched his chin. He had forgotten a few people.
Iron head!
Last time, this guy had directly entered the precinct. Before this, he was still guessing that iron head was related to the precinct, but he had actually forgotten about iron head and the others.
Very quickly, the aura on Fang Ping"s body changed.
This time, it was iron head"s Qi.
In the end, just as the transformation was completed, Fang ping sensed that something was wrong!
"BOOM!"
A loud explosion shook heaven and earth.
A large number of black cracks immediately exploded.
Fang Ping"s expression changed drastically!
"d.a.m.n it!"
What was going on?
This was the first time he had encountered a situation where the seal had erupted on its own. No, it had happened the last time as well. When King song"s subordinates had gone to the inter-world and taken out King song"s clone, the seal in the inter-world had erupted on its own.
"d.a.m.n it, what did iron head do?"
Fang ping immediately realized the problem!
Iron head"s pot!
Iron head definitely had a grudge against Kuocang mountain!
……
At the same time.
Kuocang mountain.
In a magnificent heavenly Palace.
In a heavenly Palace Hall similar to the Xuande Grotto-heaven, an illusionary figure suddenly cast his gaze towards the regional wall.
"A member of the northern ... Sect?"
A hoa.r.s.e voice slowly spoke.
The voice slowly reverberated in the empty and deathly silent Hall.
A Northern sect martial artist from the outer sect is here!
Thousands of years had pa.s.sed. Did the North sect still have a successor?
"The North ... Hasn"t been annihilated?"
The illusionary figure trembled slightly, and his voice was hoa.r.s.e, unable to express his joy or sorrow.
At the next moment, the outer world"s regional walls stopped trembling, and the illusionary human figure also fell into silence.
After a while, the illusionary figure suddenly rushed out of the hall. Two rays of golden light burst out from his eyes and he looked at the main door again!
"South ... Send a successor!"
"The southern sect ... Was not destroyed either!"
"The southern sect ... The southern sect still exists ..."
"Back then ... Who won and who lost?"
The old voice was filled with bitterness and confusion.
Who was outside?
The successors of the north and south have come?
……
At the same time.
Outside the regional wall.
Fang Ping"s face was blank as well. He had simulated iron head"s aura and was almost attacked by the spatial Rift.
In a moment of desperation, Fang ping mimicked someone else"s aura randomly, mainly to make the crack stop attacking. However, at this moment, not only did the crack disappear, but the boundary wall also began to shake violently.
There seemed to be a trend of opening the regional wall!
"What"s the situation?"
Fang ping was puzzled. At this moment, he was simulating Yao Chengjun"s aura.
"Old Yao ... Is related to Kuocang mountain?"
Fang ping was a little suspicious. He could not help but think of another point.
Old Yao and iron head ... Might really be enemies!
It was the same with these two guys the last time at Xuling cave abode. When iron head went in, Fang ping simulated old Yao"s aura and was almost killed by the regional wall"s counterattack.
At that time, iron head had said that the owner of Xuling cave heaven might have a grudge with old Yao.
This time, it seemed to prove this point.
Kuocang mountain and old Yao had no enmity and seemed to have a close relations.h.i.+p, but iron head had enmity with them, and it didn"t seem shallow.
"Old Yao ... Iron head ..."
Fang ping furrowed his brows slightly. Could these two guys have been his greatest enemies in his past life?
Things were getting interesting now.
These two guys had a very good relations.h.i.+p now. After their resurrection, their enemies had turned from enemies to friends?
"Those two guys couldn"t have been the leaders of the battle on the king Battle Ground, right? What role did the two kings play in this? Who"s with the second king?"
A strange thought rose in Fang Ping"s mind. Could it be that the two kings were only servants of these two guys back then?
It shouldn"t be!
"And old w.a.n.g ..."
Fang ping had also discovered another problem. In the three-man resurrection group, iron head and old Yao had obvious favoritism. They had enemies and friends.
However, old w.a.n.g did not seem to have such a distinction.
He had also simulated Lao w.a.n.g"s aura and did not cause any reaction. It was extremely ordinary.
He didn"t know if it was because he didn"t meet his enemies or friends, or because these three people were actually from different times.
Fang ping was now a little certain that old Yao and iron head were probably people of the same era.
As for old w.a.n.g, it was a little hard to say.
"Iron head and I obtained some inheritances from the Xuande Grotto-heaven, but old w.a.n.g and old Yao didn "t. Even if iron head and Xuande Grotto-heaven didn"t have a close relations.h.i.+p, they shouldn"t be enemies.
However, it"s hard to say whether old Yao and old w.a.n.g are on the same side as Xuande Grotto-heaven. "
Fang ping already had some ideas. Old Yao and iron head must be very important people. The boundary was 100% related to them. As for what kind of connection, it was hard to say now.
However, from the looks of it, there were at least two major camps in the precinct.
Old Yao and iron head were not on the same side!
The Battle of the Kings back then might have been an internal struggle between these two camps.
"Should I go in?"
Fang ping glanced at the boundary wall that was still trembling. After some thought, he retracted his aura and did not expose himself anymore.
By imitating old Yao"s aura, it seemed like he could enter. Previously, the regional wall was shaking so badly.
However, entering ... Might not be a good thing.
There was someone inside!
The WarG.o.d and the others had reminded him that they might not be on the same side.
The owner of Xuande Grotto-heaven was kind to him.
However, it seemed that Xuande Grotto-heaven and Kuocang mountain were not on the same side. They would not harm him, right?
It would be dangerous if they went in.
……
When Fang ping retracted his aura, the regional wall stopped shaking.
Inside the regional wall, on the Imperial Road of the heavenly Palace.
The illusionary figure had already walked out of the hall. The figure was still illusionary, as if it did not exist in this world.
On the bridge, the figure stood still, as if he had been standing there since ancient times, blending in with the environment.
Under the bridge, Golden River water flowed.
In the deathly silent precinct, only the sound of a River flowing could be heard, bringing a little bit of life to the precinct.
After an unknown period of time, an incomparably huge head suddenly emerged from the Golden water flow. It was extremely strange.
The owner of the huge head was not human.
Its head was similar to a cat "s, and it had no scales on its body. Instead, it had a body of fiery red fur that looked like a raging fire.
The illusionary figure glanced at the big red Cat, and with a hoa.r.s.e voice, he said,""You ... You sensed it ..."
"Waa ... Waa ..."
Like a baby learning to speak, the big red Cat meowed a few times.
The shadow didn"t reply and looked at the main door again.
"Someone is coming ... Very strange, to be able to cause a reaction in the regional wall ..."
The old man slowly said a few words and then said,""The people who survived that year? Or ... Some old friends?"
The figure mumbled to himself, then looked at the big cat and muttered,""A few hundred years ago, I wanted to send you out, but you were unwilling. "And now, all the other sects have their successors outside, and only I, the virtuous circle, have no one outside ...
The outside world had changed so much. How was it now?
Chaos was about to break out, where to go ...
After thousands of years, the world has changed. It should have appeared a thousand years ago. What is mo Wen trying to do by attacking the divine continent and delaying it for a thousand years?"
The old voice mumbled to himself for a while. Soon, his figure moved, and in the next moment, he appeared in a Golden Lake.
At this moment, there was another figure in the Golden Lake.
The figure"s eyes were closed, as if he was dead.
"Both the north and south sects have sent people here, and there are successors of both sects outside. Do you know who they are?" the old voice said.
In the lake, the figure opened his eyes and said slowly,""I don"t know. There"s no longer a war between the North and the South in the outside world! The war between the North and the South has long disappeared in the dust of history. "
The figure wasn"t illusionary. He had a refined temperament, like a scholar.
"Do you want to go out?" the illusory figure asked indifferently again.
"I want to!"
The old man in the lake raised his head to look at the illusory figure and said slowly,""I"ve already achieved rank-9. Since senior is unwilling to leave the mountain, then let me out of the realm and help the humans!"
"Help humans ... Reach the false G.o.d Realm?" he asked.
The ancient shadow laughed lightly and said,""Even true G.o.d Realm experts are powerless, let alone false G.o.d Realm experts."
The old man didn"t speak and remained silent.
After a long time, the old Phantom said indifferently again,""The outside world ... Seems like the humans have been defeated!"
The old man"s expression changed slightly, but he did not speak.
"The forbidden Sea demon clan ... Has interacted with the gray cat ... The hope City you speak of ... Has been destroyed."
The old man frowned and quickly said,"senior Blue cat can communicate with the outside world?" Since that"s the case, why doesn"t senior let senior Cang cat help the humans?"
"Cang Mao can"t leave Kuocang mountain."
"It"s not time yet," said the ancient shadow indifferently."It"s not time yet!"
"The right time?"
The old man laughed at himself. It was not the right time again. When would it be?
The humans were defeated?
What about mcmau?
Where"s my daughter?
What about those old friends?
Perhaps ... They were all dead.
For a time, the old man was disheartened.
Soon, the old man pulled himself together and said,""I"ve been in the realm for three years and senior has appeared three times! The last two times, senior didn"t let me leave. This time, I"ve advanced to the ninth stage. Since senior has appeared again, I"m afraid you have a request.
Senior, please speak your mind. I will do my best to achieve what I can.
If I can "t, then it won"t matter how much senior tries to trap me. "
"Going out...Is dangerous. However, someone has entered Kuocang mountain. Perhaps ... This is your chance. You can leave, but you can"t tell anyone about this place. "
The old man said. In the next moment, he said in a cold tone,""Including cultivation techniques! If you dare to leak it, you will die without a doubt!"
The old man"s expression changed slightly, and then he said in pain,""Why? Since senior is willing to teach me the cultivation technique, why don"t you tell the humans? Now, humans were weak and struggling to survive!
"I"ve been stuck at rank-7 for many years and have been shackled by my mentality. In just three years, I"ve advanced to rank-9!
"If the cultivation technique is pa.s.sed down, the number of human high-ranked powerhouses will increase greatly, and they won"t be at the mercy of others!"
"Maybe,"
The old man said indifferently,""However, I won"t teach anyone about the virtue achievement stage! Techniques could not be taught easily! The war of the North and the South originated from the War of Laws!"
"I understand. I won"t teach you ..."
"You might not understand, but if you pa.s.s on the technique, you"ll die without a doubt!"
The old man said indifferently. He paused for a moment before he slowly said,"When we go out this time, there are people from the north and south sects. Kill the people from the North sect and keep the people from the South sect!"
"They"re all humans?"
"It should be,"
"I don"t kill humans!"
The old man refused. Humans were weak to begin with. To be able to enter the precinct, one had to be at least a high-ranked martial artist. He did not kill high-ranked humans.
"Then you won"t be able to leave the virtue realm!"
"Then I won"t leave."
The old man didn"t say anything and waited for a while.
"Then forget it," the old man said calmly after a long time."Help me do a few things on this trip."
"Senior, please speak."
"First, go to the heaven of great emptiness."
The old man muttered,"a bright and clear sky?" Wei Yu mountain? Weiyu mountain might not still exist and the realm is not complete ..."
"Weiyu mountain is the second Grotto-heaven, it won"t be destroyed, just go and find it!"
"Then what should this junior do when we reach Weiyu mountain?"
"There"s no need to do it, just go in,"
The old man nodded his head slightly as a sign of agreement.
"Second, tell the true G.o.ds in the outside world that Kuocang mountain has no ill intentions. However, it does not welcome outsiders. Please do not let anyone else come!"
"I"ll pa.s.s on the message. "
"Third ... Help me find the mo Wen sword!"
"Mo Wen sword?"
The old man wasn"t sure about this. He frowned and said,""The mo Wen sword that senior is talking about ... Could it be someone of the same generation as senior? He should be dead by now. Even if he"s not dead, he shouldn"t be in the outside world ..."
"Not necessarily,"
The ancient shadow said lightly,"mo Wen sword ... Might not be dead!" Go to Mount Zi Gai and you might find some traces!"
"Then, what should I do after I find the mo Wen sword?"
"Tell him ... I"ll be waiting for him at Kuocang mountain!"
"Alright!"
"……"
The two of them talked for a while before the old man disappeared.
In the lake of immortality, the old man looked in the direction where the old shadow disappeared. He didn"t say anything, nor was he in a hurry to leave. Since the master of this place didn"t send him out, it meant that it wasn"t the right time yet.
"The precinct ... Ancient martial arts pract.i.tioner ..."
The old man muttered. What were these ancient martial art pract.i.tioners trying to do?
The owner of this place seemed to be trying to contact some people through him.
Are you preparing to leave the mountain?
What was the strength of the owner of this place?
"The legendary absolute nightmare realm?"
The old man thought to himself. When he entered the precinct, the absolute beginning realm had not been made public yet, but the old man knew some things.
There were strong and weak rank-9.
Some people were very, very strong, so strong that they did not seem to be rank-9.
It was only here that he understood that there were true G.o.ds and false G.o.ds among the rank-9.
It should be related to the absolute nightmare stage that he had heard of.
The owner of this place might be an absolute nightmare realm expert.
The old man didn"t know if there was such a strong person in China. Maybe commander li was one, or maybe Minister Zhang was one. Who knew?
However, these ancient martial art pract.i.tioners were so powerful, yet they were unwilling to help the humans. This made the old man very regretful.
Perhaps, this was a good thing.
These seniors were extremely mysterious. The old man didn"t know what kind of influence they would have once they left the mountains.
"Magic city"s catacombs have caved in ... Is fengrou still alive?"
The old man suddenly thought of his daughter and the person outside the regional wall, who had entered?
Since Magic City catacombs had fallen, who would come to the precinct?
"I"ve already entered rank-9 and can suppress a catacombs. When I go out this time, I might be able to counterattack Magic City catacombs and take it back! I wonder how fengrou is doing. Has she advanced to rank-7? Wu kuishan ... Should be close to rank-9, right?"
The old man thought to himself,"in just three years, I"ve advanced to rank-9. When I go out this time, I"ll be able to set a foothold in this cave."
It would have been better if he had come earlier!
If he had advanced to rank-9 earlier, he would not have to wait until Magic city"s catacombs collapsed before going out like he was doing now.
"I hope fengrou is fine!"
As the old man thought of this, he felt some antic.i.p.ation in his heart. This time, he would appear from the inside and forcefully break through the pa.s.sageway and kill his way out!
"The Lord of Sky Gate City, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d ... This time, he might be the one who broke through hope City! I"m afraid he doesn"t know that I"ve already advanced to the ninth stage. After I get out, I"ll kill him!"
The old man"s eyes turned cold as he thought about this.
As for what the master of this place wanted him to do, he would think about it later.
……
At the same time.
Fang ping shouted,"this is mcmau"s territory. Leave quickly. Otherwise, don"t blame me for being merciless!" A mere rank-9 dares to be so impudent!"
At this moment, Fang ping was less than a hundred meters ahead of him. A tall wild wolf monster was looking at him with red eyes.
Fang Ping"s face was full of disdain, and he snorted coldly,"rank-9 demons?" "I"ve seen quite a few true monarchs and monsters. I know you"re all intelligent. Let me tell you, seven Southern Territory is mcmau"s territory, including this place!
Not to mention not being a true king, even if he was, he would die!
I"ll let you live if you enter the forbidden Sea right now. Otherwise, a mere rank-9 ... I"ll just kill him to make a divine weapon!"
"Owwuuu!"
The wild wolf demonic beast was indeed intelligent. At this moment, its eyes were already blood red. It had gone too far in bullying the demon!
Kill him!
The next moment, the wild wolf monster beast broke through the air and clawed at Fang ping.
Fang Ping"s body glowed with golden light. The rank-9 Changdao appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye. With a violent roar, he slashed with the blade, and fine cracks appeared in the s.p.a.ce.
BOOM!
The gleam of the blade collided with the Wolf"s claws. Fang ping stomped on the ground, cracking it. He took a few steps back. The wild wolf monster that pounced at him was also sent flying backward. Its eyes were even more bloodshot.
"That"s it!"
Fang ping sneered. The next moment, he put away his Changdao and laughed. "That"s good. You haven"t made a move since you advanced to the eighth-grade seventh-refined metal. Come and temper yourself!"
With that, Fang ping rose into the air and charged over with his bare hands!
The strength of his opponent"s golden body was comparable to his.
This was good too. He could try using this demonic beast to familiarize himself with his strength, so as to avoid making mistakes later on and being unable to familiarize himself with the use of energy.
BOOM!
The rumbles continued as the rank-7 and rank-8 monsters underground fled.
The wolf King had met his match!
