Tongtian City.
This city is more than 30,000 miles away from the Ten Thousand Stele Forest, but the areas in between are safe areas, so even if there is no teleportation array, it is nothing for cultivators.
After seeing this city, Chen Lin finally realized the prosperity and vastness of the upper world.
This city is larger than the Purple Emperor City in Hongshan Continent. Its buildings are more exquisite and dense, and its style is elegant and magnificent.
The entire city was built on a huge mountain range. Even the edge areas were filled with rich spiritual energy and the fragrance of plants and trees. Every breath was refreshing.
Surrounded by mountains, a mountain rises up into the sky like a giant tower reaching into the sky. The buildings on it are glowing and appear looming, just like a palace in heaven.
This is the highest peak in Tianfang Continent, Tongtian Peak!
Tongtian City is named after this peak.
The Murong family is able to occupy such a fairyland, needless to say their strength is extremely powerful. Not only do they have many powerful people in the realm of refining emptiness, but there are also a handful of people in the realm of Dao Yun.
The most crucial thing is that Murong family's supreme elder, Murong Shenji, is one of the few remaining powerful people in the Hedao realm today. He is known as Shenji Daojun. Although he has not appeared for thousands of years, no one dares to provoke him.
A big city has the atmosphere of a big city. Tongtian City doesn’t even have a city gate. Monks and mortals can come and go freely. Moreover, protective tokens are distributed free of charge to mortals and low-level monks to resist damage from the overflow energy of high-level monks.
The City Lord's Mansion set up a huge security area, which is patrolled non-stop for twelve hours. The scope is not only within the city, but also includes areas thousands of miles outside the city.
Because of this, a huge group of mortals and low-level cultivators gathered outside the city to provide fresh blood for Tongtian City. Whenever the Murong family found someone with excellent spiritual roots, they would absorb him through marriage, making the family more and more prosperous.
This can no longer be called a city, but a country, a huge fairyland!
Several people were shocked by the spectacular sight.
Chen Lin was fine, after all, he had been in the upper realm for a long time and had experienced a lot. However, after Luo Qinglan and the other two came up, they went to the ruins of an ancient country. Although it was a fairyland, it was shrouded in a weird atmosphere and one could not feel the fairyland's artistic conception at all.
Then he ran to the Crystal Light Realm.
It was the first time I felt the atmosphere of the upper world. As my mind was swaying, I developed an endless yearning for the path to immortality.
"Let's go!"
After standing and watching for a long time, Chen Lin called out, and the three of them landed and walked into the city.
Because the city is too large and is located in the mountains, low-altitude flying is not prohibited in the outer city, but only ordinary flying skills are allowed.
If you are in the inner city, you must rent the cranes raised in the Spirit Beast Palace in the city. Otherwise, as long as you fly off the ground, you will trigger the no-fly formation and attract patrol guards.
If Chen Lin wanted to find Murong Feng, he naturally had to go to the inner city.
The inspection in the inner city was relatively strict, so after taking a walk around the outer city and finding out Murong Feng's residence, he asked Mu Xingchen and the other two to wait in the outer city, while he, Luo Qinglan and Xiaocao each rented a crane and entered the inner city.
"My dear, when I first arrived at your Qingyang Sect in the lower realm, I rode on the sect's unique fairy paper crane, but I was a little shocked!"
Flying on the crane made Chen Lin think of the past, and he smiled at Luo Qinglan beside him.
Luo Qinglan also had a look of reminiscence.
Her cultivation journey was relatively smooth, without as many ups and downs as Chen Lin's, but she also experienced several major crises. The first one was when she was corroded by evil thoughts in Qingyang Sect. Thanks to Chen Lin's help, she got through it safely, and this also brought the two of them together.
In a blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically, and people and things have undergone tremendous changes.
The interface collapsed, the people around him died or disappeared, and the Qingyang Sect no longer existed.
Chen Lin sensed Luo Qinglan's emotions and suggested, "If my lady still wants to carry forward the Qingyang Sect, you can choose a suitable place on this continent to build a mountain gate. We can run it well. After wandering for so long, it's time to settle down."
Luo Qinglan nodded. Qingyang Sect was her obsession, and she did have some ideas about rebuilding it.
"Then listen to your husband. However, this matter is not urgent. For now, we should focus on solving my husband's cultivation and our physical problems. We can do the sect's work anytime."
During the conversation, we arrived at our destination.
As a powerful cultivator of the Void Refining Realm, Murong Feng has an independent mountain in the inner city. The building is extremely magnificent, and there is a large mountain protection formation. The cultivators patrolling and guarding are all at the Golden Core Stage.
Chen Lin and the other two controlled the crane to land at the mountain gate, and someone immediately came forward to ask questions.
"What can I do for you, fellow Taoists?"
A team of monks came over, all wearing uniform soft armor and holding standard magical weapons. The leader was a middle-aged monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, with a fairly friendly attitude.
Chen Lin did not dare to neglect it, and immediately took out Murong Qing's token and said, "I am Chen Lin, and I have come to visit Senior Murong Feng. Please let me know."
The middle-aged man took the jade token and looked at it, then nodded and said, "It is indeed my token. Please wait a moment."
Having said this, he took out a round plate, swept it across the jade pendant, and then activated it.
After a while, the moon lit up and an old man appeared on it, saying, "Please let the distinguished guest in!"
The middle-aged man was surprised when he heard that. There were not many people who could be addressed as distinguished guests by the steward, and the other party was just a Jindan cultivator, so he must have an extraordinary identity.
He immediately smiled and said to Chen Lin: "Dear guest, please follow me!"
Chen Lin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was really worried that the token would not work and Murong Feng would not see him.
When Murong Qing gave him this token, it seemed that she said that she had some conflicts with her family, so she left her hometown to join Yingyue Palace. Otherwise, with the strength of the Murong family, there would be no need for the other party to worship Lan Ruxue as his master.
With someone leading the way, they could ignore the no-fly formation and fly to the largest building complex on the top of the mountain. After being informed, they were brought into an exquisite courtyard.
When they got here, Luo Qinglan and Xiaocao were stopped, and only he was allowed to enter.
After entering the living room, I finally saw the real owner.
"Junior Chen Lin, nice to meet you, senior!"
Chen Lin glanced at the middle-aged man sitting upright and immediately paid his respects.
"Bring the token."
Murong Feng's figure was a little thin, but he was intimidating without even getting angry. The aura he exuded was as deep as the ocean, making Chen Lin, who only had the cultivation level of a Golden Core, feel very depressed.
However, he has the innate power of the Thunder God's Sword in his body, so he won't make a fool of himself by being unable to resist.
Hearing the other party's words, he immediately took out the jade pendant, wrapped it with magic power and sent it to the other party.
After Murong Feng took it, he fell into a daze.
After a long time, he sighed and looked at Chen Lin.
"How is she?"
With just one sentence, Chen Lin could sense the other party's concern.
Although Murong Qing did not reveal her specific relationship with this person at the beginning, they were probably either siblings or brother and sister.
Murong Qing did not say that he would hide this information, so he answered truthfully: "Reporting to the senior, Fairy Murong is doing well. She asked me to tell you that you don't need to worry about her."
"What is her current level of cultivation?"
Murong Feng did not comment and continued to ask.
When he heard Chen Lin say that he had reached the first level of Dao Yun, he was finally moved.
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being my Murong Feng's sister. Good!"
Murong Feng laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy, as if he had released the depression that had been pent up in his heart.
Then he looked at Chen Lin with a gentle look and said, "Sit down, tell me about her and your affairs, don't be restrained."
Chen Lin was not polite either. After a slight bow, he sat down at the edge and slowly recounted the story of how he and Murong Qing met and how he got the token.
Finally, he made a request, asking the other party to help borrow the Murong family's exclusive teleportation array to go to Liangyi City, and hoped to have a powerful Void Refining Master escort them, and he was willing to pay for it.
The Tianfang Continent is very large, and Liangyi City is very far away from here. It is difficult to go back without using a teleportation array. He has a lot of connections there, and the cultivation atmosphere is good, so he prefers to build a foundation there and concentrate on cultivation.
There is another key point, that is the Yang brothers and sisters.
To be precise, it was Yang Zishi.
That girl's talent can resonate with his own, so it must be useful to his talent. He has also spent a lot of resources to cultivate it, so he needs to find out clearly.
In addition to this request, the other party was asked to help check the physical condition of Luo Qinglan and others. With the other party's cultivation and knowledge, he might also know how to solve the hidden dangers of assimilation.
"The matter of the teleportation array is easy to deal with. The person you mentioned who was assimilated by the strange rules should be the descendant of the true spirit outside. Let her in!"
After hearing Chen Lin's request, Murong Feng spoke very readily.
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple guarding outside brought Luo Qinglan into the room.
"Junior Luo Qinglan, hello to the senior!"
When Luo Qinglan saw Chen Lin sitting there, he knew that the conversation was going well, and he bowed with a relaxed mood.
"Such pure spiritual power!"
Murong Feng took a look and immediately praised him, then said with a hint of meaning: "As a descendant of a true spirit, pure bloodline is a good thing, but it is not a good thing either. It is difficult to explain things like fate."
After saying that, he seemed not to want to continue the topic. Without giving Chen Lin and the others a chance to ask, he changed the subject and said, "I can't solve the assimilation problem of your body. Not only can I not solve it, even if Daojun takes action, it will be useless. The energy level of the evil demon is higher than that of this world, and your assimilation state seems to be mixed with other rules. It's very weird."
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "You can only suppress your condition for the time being. Unless you find energy higher than the assimilation level, you can't eliminate it."
Chen Lin's heart sank, and he asked hurriedly, "I wonder if the evil demon you are talking about is the scarlet giant eye? What exactly are they, and what kind of energy do we need to fight them?"
The strange aura in the Three Jade Fairyland has the same origin as the Giant Eye, so if you want to solve it, you need to first figure out what level the Giant Eye is.
Murong Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "The origin of the evil demon has not been determined yet, but according to the records in the secret book, it is probably at least at the level of an immortal, or even higher!"
Then he continued, "If you can get a treasure with immortal power, such as a true spirit-level treasure or immortal weapon, you can give it a try. Or innate spiritual treasures, healing treasures of higher levels will definitely be useful, but these things may be difficult to encounter in this world."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
When the other party mentioned the innate spiritual treasure, Chen Lin's eyes flashed secretly.
His Thunder God Sword can be regarded as the prototype of an innate spiritual treasure. Although the innate power is very weak, it can be released. I don't know whether it will be effective.
But the Thunder God Sword has thunder attribute and strong destructive power. He has no problem using it himself, but he is afraid that Luo Qinglan will not be able to bear it when he is using it to cleanse his body.
And hearing the other party speak so seriously, this innate treasure must be extremely rare. I have to be more careful when using the Thunder God Sword in the future, so as not to be targeted.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the treasure fragments shared by Mu Xingchen and Zhuge Hengyun. That thing could suppress and assimilate, and it was similar to the energy of the Thunder God's Sword. The original body must be an innate spiritual treasure without a doubt.
With the foundation of the Three Jade Fairyland, it is possible to possess such treasures. This fragment should be the key to breaking the deadlock.
At this time, Murong Feng took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, and presented it to Chen Lin together with the jade pendant.
"Here is a special secret technique that can suppress the evil spirits, allowing the assimilated person to not be disturbed by the evil spirits and to practice and advance normally. I can't help you with anything else."
Chen Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This kind of secret technique is exactly what Luo Qinglan needs most at the moment. With this, he can try to advance to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Even Mu Xingchen and Zhuge Hengyun are the same.
The other party probably saw this and gave targeted benefits.
He immediately thanked him and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior. I am grateful for your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will obey you!"
Murong Feng smiled calmly and said, "There's no need to repay the favor. It's just a secret technique. If you can bring my sister's information here, it will be a great achievement for me."
After Chen Lin put away the jade slip and jade pendant, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it. You guys should find a place to stay in the city first. The space is unstable now, and the teleportation array will take some time. Don't worry."
"yes!"
The other party ordered him to leave and asked all the necessary questions. Chen Lin respectfully took his leave.
After leaving the inner city and meeting up with Mu Xingchen and the other two, they first found an inn to stay in and took out the secret jade slip for the three of them to read.
All three were excited.
Their cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the current stage, and now they have come to the upper realm with rich spiritual energy. It is time for promotion, but because of the abnormal rule power in their bodies, if they try to break through, they will be corroded by evil spirits. Not to mention that the assimilation process will be accelerated, the resulting inner demons will definitely be extremely terrifying, so they have been at a loss as to what to do.
Especially for Mu Xingchen, who has not much time left, the situation is even more urgent.
This secret technique is like a life-saving straw, bringing them hope.
"I owe Elder Chen a favor for this matter. In addition to the grace of saving my life before, I will leave my old bones to Elder Chen from now on!"
After reading the secret technique, Zhuge Hengyun stood up, bowed to Chen Lin, expressed his position solemnly, and swore an oath to swear his inner demon.
He is different from Luo Qinglan and Mu Xingchen. They are their family and he is an outsider, so he still has to be polite.
Chen Lin hurriedly helped the other person up and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhuge, this is serious. You and I are from the same realm, so we should help each other and support each other."
The other person's stargazing skills were very useful, and he was very happy to be able to express his opinion in this way.
It's a pity that Lord Qing was completely assimilated in the ruins and turned into a monster, otherwise with his cultivation and means, he would be of great help.
As for whether Fairy Baihua and others successfully reached the upper realm and where they were, Luo Qinglan had no way of guessing and could only hope to meet them someday.
Next, Luo Qinglan and the other two concentrated on studying the secret technique, while Chen Lin took Xiaocao to tour the city, gathering information and collecting resources.
During this period, he also went to Baimu City and met Zhang Tianyue's family. However, his wife and children had already died of old age, leaving only a grandson who was over 60 years old.
The other party was living a very difficult life and was only at the perfect stage of Qi training. It happened that Luo Qinglan wanted to rebuild the Qingyang Sect, so he simply helped the other party to build his foundation and brought him along.
