Tiannan Dongyu Country is one of the very few countries in the Tiannan Xiuxian world that does not belong to the four major forces. This is not because the country is too small and lacks resources, so it is not favored by the major forces. Both the size and the abundance of cultivation resources are enough to rank among the top ten in Tiannan. The reason why this country has not been controlled by any force so far is entirely related to the geographical location of Dongyu country.
Except that this country is too far away from the Nine Nations Alliance and has nothing to do with it, it is also closely adjacent to the other three major powers at the same time, and it is firmly stuck in the middle.
And the sects of cultivating immortals in this country, due to certain reasons in history, are numerous and mixed. There are sects with the nature of righteousness and demons, and there are also idle sects other than righteousness and demons. The most important thing is that there is no sect that can overwhelm other sects and become a decisive force in the local sect of cultivating immortals in Dongyu country. It cannot represent Dongyu country itself and make a decision on which side to favor.
In this way, none of the three major powers wanted to give up the country, so naturally they fought openly and secretly for this, but there was still no result. In the end, they could only vaguely agree that none of the three major powers would interfere in the affairs of the country, so that Dongyu Kingdom would become a country. neutral country.
Of course, many of the local sects of the Three Kingdoms have already taken refuge in the Two Ways of Righteousness and Demons or the Alliance of Heavenly Dao, and thus obtained the secret support of the three major forces. This has also allowed Dongyu Kingdom to barely maintain a balanced situation for more than a hundred years. Many immortal cultivators regarded it as a neutral place, and came here to settle down one after another, unexpectedly making this country extremely prosperous for a while.
In Changzhou in the north of Dongyu Kingdom, there is a basin that occupies almost two-thirds of the area of Changzhou. Most of this basin is covered by dense and abnormal forests. But in the center of the basin, there is a huge mountain range that stretches for millions of miles, which is called "Wanling Mountains" by the locals.
No one has really checked whether there are tens of thousands of mountains in this mountain range, but this mountain range is so wide, and there are naturally many kinds of spirit beasts and rare elixir. However, apart from certain times every few decades, even immortal practitioners dare not come here to collect herbs or capture spirit beasts. The reason for this is entirely because the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range has another vicious name known to everyone in Tiannan's Immortal Cultivation World - "Land of Fallen Demons". The underground secret valley "Falling Demon Valley".
This secret valley has existed since the barbaric period. During this period, I don’t know how many monks with great supernatural powers entered the valley to search for treasures. However, tens of thousands of years have passed, and it is still tightly covered by the mysterious and bloody veil.
Of course, relying on the evil name of Falling Devil Valley alone still can't prevent immortal cultivators from mining this mountain, but I don't know if it is affected by Falling Devil Valley, this Wanling mountain range has been blocked by colorful miasma for many years. This miasma is not only extremely poisonous and extremely sticky, but also extremely dense like a ban, and you can hardly see your fingers. Once it goes deep, you can't tell the direction and get lost in it.
In this environment, even if the immortal cultivators can survive the miasma unharmed, they can’t talk about picking elixir and catching spirit beasts. They can only face Baoshan’s greedy eyes, or some small places where the miasma is thin in the outermost periphery. , just move your hands and feet.
But every fifty years or so, the miasma in this mountain range will dissipate, and it is also the period when there are the least space cracks in the Valley of Fallen Demons and the most stable period. During this period of time, Taobao people from all over Tiannan will seize this short period of time and go to the mountains to hunt for treasures. Of course, this mountain is so big, no matter how many elixir and spirit beasts there are, only a small number of immortal cultivators can gain something. But just like that, every time this period comes, thousands of immortal cultivators of all ranks will still gather here.
And near this mountain, some merchants backed by family power will form several squares and markets of different sizes in a very short period of time, and use them to buy the elixir and beasts of monks who have gained a lot, and they can prosper for a while .
This year, the miasma in Wanling Mountain began to thin out. Seeing that it was still a few months before the miasma was completely eliminated, a large number of immortal cultivators rushed into the Changzhou realm, and the number was far greater than the previous few times. And most of them are foreign immortal cultivators, and high-level immortal cultivators appear frequently among them. This shocked the local Immortal Cultivation Sect and the Immortal Cultivation Clan. They hurriedly restricted the disciples in the sect not to go out easily, and sent people to find out the reason. The news they got stunned these local immortal cultivators.
On an unnamed hill at the border of Changzhou, a pair of male and female monks who formed alchemy stood side by side on the peak. The man was dressed in wrought blue robes, in his thirties, handsome and elegant, while the woman was dressed in court attire. Although her figure was extremely plump, she was ordinary in appearance, and there was nothing outstanding about it. The two looked calm, but the behavior of raising their heads from time to time and the trace of anxiety looming in their eyes revealed their true emotions.
After a while, there was a silver light flickering in the distance, and then a silver startled rainbow flew from far to near, and it looked like it was heading towards the hill. Seeing this escaping light, the male and female monks, who looked like husband and wife, beamed with joy at the same time.
As soon as Yinhong flew over the hill, it circled, revealing a forty-year-old Confucian scholar in brocade robes.
"Brother, you are finally here. How is it going? Did you get the entry token?" The woman asked with a coquettish smile when she saw the big man. "Hey, I finally went in time, and I got the token." The Confucian scholar smiled, raised his hand, and two blue lights shot at the male and female monks.
The man and the woman hurriedly reached out to catch it, and it turned out to be a bronze token with two red characters "Falling Demon" written on one side, and a golden Lingzi written on the other side, exuding a trace of aura. The female monk suddenly showed excitement, while the male monk frowned, and his face showed a look of contemplation.
"Great, with this demon fall order, we can go into the valley to search for treasures. If we can get some ancient panacea, maybe the three of us will have a chance to condense the Nascent Soul!" The female cultivator was overjoyed and couldn't help said happily. "They really dare to sell such a small token for 30,000 spirit stones." The blue-clothed male cultivator next to the woman said with a soft sigh. These three tokens cost as much as 100,000 spirit stones. It almost emptied all the savings of the three people over the past hundreds of years, which naturally made the blue-clothed man feel a little heartbroken...
"Second brother, don't regret it. This time, if I hadn't been close friends with that person, and their sect was short of manpower, they decided to give up this opportunity to enter the valley. Now it is a token of 100,000 spirit stones. There are many people robbing them outside. Moreover, the Ghost Spirit Sect originally wanted to monopolize the treasures of the Falling Devil Valley, but now under the pressure of other sects, they have to agree to let outsiders participate in the treasure hunt. Otherwise, you just want to spend a hundred thousand If Lingshi traded a chance to enter the valley, people from Ghost Spirit Sect would never agree." Confucian scholar said helplessly.
Hearing this, the blue-clothed monk couldn't say anything to refute, but looked at the token in his hand, and asked worriedly: "However, is the method of entering the valley from the Ghost Spirit Gate really reliable? I heard that There are many space cracks all over the entrance of the valley, if you are not careful, there will be no bones left. And the news that the elders of the Ghost Spirit Sect have come out of the valley alive before, big brother thinks there is nothing wrong with this, right?"
"Unless the people of Ghost Spirit Gate want to make enemies of the entire Tiannan Xiuxian world, otherwise, there will be no problems in this matter. Besides, haven't we all heard that the elder of Ghost Spirit Gate is just a Nascent Soul who escaped?" It’s just that he came back, and his body was also buried in the Valley of Falling Demons, which makes sense.” The Confucian scholar replied without thinking.
"But even if we can enter the valley, the Fallen Demon Valley is extremely dangerous. I don't know whether we are right or wrong in buying the order to enter the valley." The man in blue said hesitantly after hearing the Confucian scholar's explanation.
"Hmph! With the aptitude of the three of us, the current state is already at the top of the sky. If there is no chance, in more than two hundred years, we will all be reduced to a pile of bones. Naturally, we have to fight for this opportunity. Besides, I heard that the space cracks and other dangers outside the Fallen Valley are much less dangerous than those in the inner valley, if we only search for treasures on the outside and be more careful, there should be no problems." The woman didn't care Said.
"I heard that this time, the Ghost Spirit Sect released hundreds of demon-falling orders in one breath, and most of them fell into the hands of various sects. I even heard that even Master Mulan would send people to participate. That is It is said that there will be hundreds of monks who can go into the valley with the people from the Ghost Spirit Sect to hunt for treasure. If so many people go together, what should I be afraid of. The big deal is that if it is really dangerous, I will just turn back immediately. But this opportunity is missed, and I will die for the rest of my life. I have regrets." The Confucian scholar could see it clearly, and said lightly. The female cultivator on the side also nodded repeatedly, seeming to agree.
"Since the elder brother has said so, the younger brother should follow into the valley together." The man in blue gave a wry smile and said nothing more.
The same situation happened frequently around Changzhou.
Since half a year ago, there have been rumors that Ghost Spirit Sect has obtained a way to enter the Valley of Fallen Demons from nowhere, and that Ghost Spirit Sect plans to hide the other sects' knowledge and plan to monopolize the treasures in the valley. As soon as the news spread, Immediately caused a sensation in the entire world of cultivating immortals.
The major sects that wanted to take a good rest because of the battle with the Mulan people just now, couldn't sit still and sent people to the Ghost Spirit Gate to inquire about this matter. The other six sects of the Devil's Way also sent envoys to identify this true and false.
The upper echelons of Ghost Spirit were naturally furious about this, but under such great pressure, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit the matter. After all, as long as someone has the heart to pursue this matter, he can always find out the truth from some clues.
As a result, the other sects naturally unceremoniously asked to share the means of entering the valley, but this time the Ghost Sect stubbornly refused to agree, and finally only proposed a compromise method, willing to provide some entering the valley tokens to each sect Door. As long as this order is held, when the cracks in the Falling Demon Valley's space are stable, each sect can select some people to go into the valley with the monks of the Ghost Spirit Sect, but of course they will have to pay some spirit stones as a price.
Of course, in order to appease the dissatisfaction of casual cultivators, more than a hundred yuan was specially released to casual cultivators and those small sects.
Now that this period is approaching, Changzhou will naturally become lively. In the vicinity of Wanling Mountain, many more monks from other countries came out, making the local monks who originally wanted to go to the mountain to hunt for treasures become extremely cautious, and all of them behaved with their tails between their legs.
