Chapter 549: 244: Land of Fallen!
The trouble caused by Chen Baimao, what does it have to do with me, Chen Dengming (Added for monthly ticket)_2 Chapter 549: 244: Land of Fallen!
The trouble caused by Chen Baimao, what does it have to do with me, Chen Dengming (Added for monthly ticket)_2 “You don’t know about the Land of Fallen?” Qiao Zhaoxian was surprised.
Chen Dengming was speechless.
Why would he know?
Was that something everyone knew about?
Gao Lingxiao glanced at Chen Dengming and raised her slender hand to cough lightly before her mouth, “Old Qiao, are you intentionally belittling Brother Chen?
...
For nearly five hundred years, no cultivator from the Longevity Sect has gone to the Land of Fallen.
Don’t you know why?
If no one goes there, perhaps the Longevity Sect naturally wouldn’t care…
”
Qiao Zhaoxian shot Gao Lingxiao a sidelong glance, knowing that the naughty girl was satirizing him, trying to stir up trouble between him and Old Chen.
He immediately explained with a smile.
Chen Dengming then came to know that at the very edges of the Four Regions, such as south of the Southern Region, north of the Northern Region, east of the Eastern Region, there was a Land of Fallen.
It was filled with evil curses, spirits, and even indescribable weirdness.
It was a haven for ghost cultivators.
It was rumored that there were quite a few powerful ghost kings there…
Despite these curses and spirits, due to the limitations of resources found there, very few of them would leave the Land of Fallen.
Still, over the years, the top sects from each region would send their Golden Core disciples or even Nascent Soul True Monarchs to supervise the areas near the Land of Fallen, to prevent evil spirits from entering the Four Regions and disrupting the cultivation environment.
As a result, few curses were seen causing rampant destruction in the Four Regions.
Due to the weak combat abilities of the cultivators in the Longevity Sect, the sect hasn’t sent anyone to the Land of Fallen for nearly five hundred years after previously having made mistakes there.
However, in turn, the Longevity Sect had to concede corresponding benefits.
In this way, it was entirely normal for Chen Dengming, who had just advanced to the Golden Core stage not long ago, to not know the name of the Land of Fallen.
“If there are indeed a large number of powerful ghost cultivators in the Land of Fallen, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would find it difficult to cross the Land of Fallen and go to the outskirts of the Four Regions…”
Qiao Zhaoxian shook his head, “So, it’s a reliable assumption that only Divine Transformations could leave the Four Regions and go beyond.”
He looked wistful and sighed, “The other theory is completely the opposite of the ‘Center of the Four Regions’.
It’s called the ‘Edge of the Four Regions’ theory.”
It suggests that the Four Regions, including the islands in the Four Oceans, are just parts of a complete Immortal World that collapsed and fragmented into many islands after the Immortal’s death due to the collapse of various Dao Orthodoxies during the Great Immortal War.”
According to this theory, the Four Regions are nothing but larger islands, and they are not the center but the fragments found on the edge of the shattered Immortal World!”
Chen Dengming listened, his expression strange, “These ideas, one after another, are very mysterious, but there is a familiar, clichéd vibe to them.
Could they have been conceived by the Waqian Scholar who wrote about the ancient cultivation world, with its three thousand Great Daos, corresponding to three thousand divine skills?”
“Blah!
Why are we talking about things beyond the Four Regions now when we should be sorting out our spoils of war?
Old Chen, you’re not feeling invincible within the Four Regions and have wild thoughts about going to the regions beyond, are you?
You’d better not mess around, the Land of Fallen isn’t a place for humans to venture.
Even ghost cultivators would be torn apart.”
“What nonsense!
I was just curious and wanted to ask more.
Old Qiao, wouldn’t you want to go beyond the Four Regions if you had the opportunity?”
“Me?
…I’d love to go, but, that probably won’t happen until I’ve reached the Nascent Soul stage.
We’re already at the Golden Core stage now, so let’s see who will reach the Nascent Soul stage first.”
Gao Lingxiao, appearing very knowledgeable, calmly said, “Cultivators of the Longevity Sect only compete with others to see who can live the longest, they never compete to see who can advance faster.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Old Qiao, you might reach the Nascent Soul stage before you turn three hundred, or you might be killed by a master demon cultivator from the Western Region.
Brother Chen might leisurely reach the Nascent Soul stage at five hundred years old, but he’ll be steady and reliable.”
“A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory.”
…
Half a day later.
The dark night gave way to the daylight, with the rainbow colored dawn dispersing the fog in the valleys between mountains.
The dew on some leaves reflected the light of the sun, shimmering on the leaf tips.
Situated on majestic mountains, Heguan City was like a giant flower ring connected by rainbow bridges and formations, resting on the peaks.
Every mountain housed vast architectural complexes enveloped in formations.
There were grand temples and pavilions with an imposing atmosphere, flying waterfalls and arched eaves, rows of brick and stone kilns and caves.
Each peak represented a different sect, each with its own distinct Immortal Sect culture.
The roads of various sizes between the mountains were all connected by suspension bridges and Floating Islands.
They were blocked by formations, making it hard for even birds to cross.
This was Heguan City, built by the allied cultivator sects of the Eastern Region.
It was the largest stronghold in the Eastern Region during wartime.
Every day, it sent out thousands of pieces of information and war orders.
There was little commercial activity here, but everywhere exuded an atmosphere of tension, solemnity, and constant excitement.
For instance, at this moment, the atmosphere inside Heguan City was extremely high-spirited.
The many cultivators in every Immortal City frequently cast their eyes toward the tallest peak in the center of the mountains, towering into the clouds, standing out above all other mountains – Xianyun City.
The news of Chen Dengming and others returning this morning had already spread everywhere.
The story of Chen Dengming, the rarely seen Longevity Daozi who had teamed up with Qiao Zhaoxian, Gao Lingxiao and Gan Qinghong to slay the Beiling Saint and the Kill Devil Protector was on everyone’s lips and was the topic of passionate debate in Heguan City since yesterday.
This boosted the morale of the cultivators in the Eastern Region.
This was the most encouraging news in recent years.
