"call out!"
Pang Jian flew straight in with his sword.
A moment later, he disappeared from under everyone's eyes into the thick, strange fog.
"When we were in the forbidden land, it was Pang Jian who led us back safely." Just before Hu Yuanfei started to scold again, Zhou Qingchen said in a deep voice: "I don't believe in those women who offer sacrifices to the ancestor, nor do I believe in Hong Qiming. I only believe in Pang Jian."
He was the second one to follow, also disappearing into the strange fog.
Wu Yuan said nothing and did not make any explanation, but followed closely behind.
“Whoosh!”
The flying fish boat flashed in.
Hu Yuanfei was stunned and had no time to stop it, and the situation completely got out of control.
After a while.
"Liu Xiaoyu! You're messing up too!"
Hu Yuanfei screamed angrily and followed helplessly, advancing into the strange fog with an uncertain future.
Lv Yanshu of the Pure Land scratched his head and looked at Fan Chen of the Taiyi Kingdom with a look of help: "Should we go in?"
"Let's go in and take a look." Fan Chen acted quite calm, and said, "What I'm more curious about is... how could those people believe that Pang Jian could adapt to the strange fog better than Ling Yimo of the Ghost Sacrifice Sect?"
"It should be. Pang Jian once proved himself in the strange fog." Lu Yanshu replied.
"In that case, let's take the risk and go over to take a look."
Fan Chen and Lu Yanshu also made the choice and entered the strange fog one after another.
final.
Shen Yanxi from the desolate land, a couple from the Ancient Law Sect, also stepped into the strange fog after some consideration.
…
Half an hour later.
“Whoosh!”
Hong Qiming, who was supposed to be in the depths of the strange fog, suddenly reappeared in the same place holding the kerosene lamp.
He was standing right where Pang Jian had carved the words.
Afterwards, Zhou Yi from Jiuli Sect suddenly appeared holding the head of Heigu Cai Shaoheng.
He and Hong Qiming looked at each other and smiled.
"It didn't take much effort to trick people into going in." Hong Qiming laughed strangely. He looked at the surging strange fog and the land that was still protruding outwards bit by bit, and said, "I escaped by teleportation the moment I entered. Wu Yuan thought I had already reached the depths of the land."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "They all carry rare treasures and magical tools. It will be much easier for us if they lead the charge."
Glancing at the dark sky, the Nine Li Sect expert with ulterior motives said, "I have set up a large array of bewitching spirits nearby. It is unlikely that the alien races from the Fourth Realm will notice this place in the short term."
"But as the land continues to protrude outward, it will eventually protrude."
Zhou Yi frowned and said, "I hope that by then, we will have figured out the mysteries buried on the land."
"Well, a new era is coming. In this unprecedented catastrophe, people like you and I should be promoted to true gods as soon as possible to quell the chaos." Hong Qiming said with a cold smile on his face: "If the true gods of the older generation don't even have the courage to break out of the sky, they have no right to occupy those god positions!"
It was the two of them who were conspiring to share the secret of this continent.
Zhou Yi was the initiator, and Hong Qiming cooperated with him to recruit young talents everywhere.
They did this because they wanted to explore the mysteries of this land that disappeared in the strange fog and pave the way for their future deification.
Not reporting to the superiors is naturally because you don't want to benefit others.
When immortals and true gods really arrive, all the secrets hidden in this land will have nothing to do with them.
"When you summoned Pang Jian, did anyone else know about this?" Zhou Yi asked.
"There is a casual cultivator named Han Duping." Hong Qiming's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said confidently: "Don't worry, he and the few casual cultivators beside him can't return to Qiantian Continent."
"That's good."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, then looked at the characters engraved by Pang Jian below and read: "The real way out for all living beings in this world exists below the fifth layer, in the darkness below the darkness."
"Under the darkness?"
He looked solemn, frowning as he said, "Strange, how could the way out for all living beings be in the land beneath darkness?"
"Do you recognize the ancient demonic language?" Hong Qiming was slightly surprised.
"Of course I recognize it." Zhou Yi smiled and explained, "The Jiuli Sect's exploration of foreign civilizations is only slightly inferior to that of the Taiyi Divine Kingdom. The Heavenly Demon once wreaked havoc in the Purgatory Heaven and Earth, leaving behind many traces and marks that are very similar to the ancient demonic writing. Haha, don't you recognize it too?"
Hong Qiming snorted coldly: "The original manual of my Demon Sect was written in a language similar to that of the ancient demons. Of course I recognize it."
While the two were talking, several figures appeared.
Cao Jingbai from Haotian Divine Kingdom is ranked eighth on the Soul Wandering Realm list.
Su Li from Jian Tower is ranked thirteenth on the Soul Wandering Realm list.
In addition, there are several people who are in the top ten of the list of the Concentrated Spirit Realm.
The newcomers all carry valuable treasures and weapons, each with their own unique features.
Zhou Yi silently erased the ancient demonic words, smiled and greeted them warmly: "I'm just waiting for you guys."
Hong Qiming's face turned slightly cold, and he continued to pretend to disagree with him, saying in a counter-tune: "Those who are not even in the top ten of the list are not qualified to go deep with us."
He looked at Su Li and sneered.
"That's because Su Li joined late." Zhou Yi tried to smooth things over, saying seriously, "In the strange fog, there is a God and Demon Creation Institute, which is said to be related to the origin of the creatures in Purgatory!"
Su Li, Cao Jingbai and others' eyes immediately lit up.
Zhou Yi walked ahead calmly while speaking these persuasive words.
The second group of people he lured here had no idea what they would encounter and went deeper into it with curiosity.
…
The sea of fog is vast.
The group of people, whose perception and vision were restricted, followed Pang Jian and headed towards the hinterland shrouded in gray and strange fog.
Hu Yuanfei said angrily: "Pang Jian, it's not too late to turn back now!"
Pang Jian moved forward silently, secretly trying to communicate with the Black Turtle and the Erosion Vine, but soon found that he had lost contact with both.
The Queen Bee and the Dark Anaconda are also missing.
He was secretly alert, and when he couldn't see far away, he quietly released his spiritual sense to perceive.
One huge skeleton after another gradually appeared in his perception. Just by looking at their shape and size, he knew that they were all the fleshless bones of huge ferocious beasts or spiritual beasts.
This piece of land that was protruding outward seemed to have many dead ferocious beasts and spiritual beasts. The more he sensed it, the more bones he saw.
"It's about the same as before I went to the forbidden land."
Zhou Qingchen looked around and used his spiritual consciousness to sense, and found that the coverage of his spiritual consciousness could reach a range of one hundred feet.
"My consciousness is very limited. I can't sense anything beyond ten feet." Lu Yanshu from the Pure Land, who was also in the Concentrated Spirit Realm, sighed with a bitter face, "As soon as I came in, I felt like I became blind. I'm not used to it."
"Ten feet?" Pang Jian looked at him strangely.
Lu Yanshu nodded.
After hesitating for a moment, Pang Jian went to ask other people and use his spiritual sense to sense the range within the strange fog.
In the same state of concentration, Lu Yanshu and the Ancient Law Sect's couple, both have a spiritual perception limit of about ten feet.
Zhou Qingchen and Wu Yuan were about a hundred feet away.
Fan Chen, Liu Youyu, and Hu Yuanfei from the Soul Wandering Realm were all a hundred feet away.
Pang Jian himself released his spiritual sense to perceive within the strange fog and was able to sense the movements thousands of feet away.
"The storage of divine consciousness can expand the sensing range of divine awareness."
Pang Jian quickly came to a conclusion.
Because Zhou Qingchen and Wu Yuan, like him, had experienced the forbidden land, when their souls were being forged, there were many divine consciousnesses in their sea of consciousness, which enabled their souls to be sublimated.
This also made them feel farther away than Lu Yanshu in the Pure Land and the ancient law sect couple when they were in the state of concentration.
"When I first entered the strange fog, my soul had not yet condensed, so I couldn't sense anything." Zhou Qingchen said as he walked, "It was only because my soul was condensed that I was able to sense the situation nearby when I returned to Purgatory."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
A few hours later, after passing countless piles of animal bones, they suddenly saw a towering stone statue.
It was a lifelike gray giant ape.
It sat on the ground like a human, its grey eyes, the same colour as its fur, staring straight ahead, exuding a sad and melancholy aura.
Near it, there are thousands of animal bones scattered around, most of which are of ape-like appearance.
Behind it stands a flag with a Tai Chi diagram on it.
On one side of the Tai Chi diagram, there is a thick and dirty alien force flowing, and on the other side is the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Further behind it is a rough and dilapidated city, similar to the Cyclops' Ice Rock City, which is built with various huge stones.
The giant ape stone statue seems to be protecting the city behind it from being invaded, and is sitting in front of the city waiting for the enemy.
However, the animal bones found everywhere and the collapsed and crumbling city walls indicate that its protection was not successful.
Pure Land Lu Yanshu exclaimed: "Could it be a foreign god?"
"no."
Fan Chen of the Taiyi Divine Kingdom was thinking about how to pass Pang Jian.
Standing under the giant ape statue, he looked up at the sky covered by strange fog, and spread his senses to wander around the ruined city. He said, "All along the way, there are skeletons of various fierce beasts and spiritual beasts. And here, it looks like a city home built by a group of apes. I roughly guessed what it is."
"What's going on?" Lu Yanshu asked curiously.
"I said it outside, the alien race... seemed to be suddenly thrown into the Purgatory Heaven and Earth at some point." Fan Chen frowned and said softly, "The history of fierce beasts and spirit beasts in the Purgatory Heaven and Earth is much longer than that of the alien race and our human race."
“This piece of land covered by strange fog should have existed a long, long time ago, when fierce beasts and spiritual beasts were still the masters of Purgatory.”
"At that time, they were not called fierce beasts or spiritual beasts, but had a unified name."
Fan Chen, who was very interested in the secrets of heaven and earth, paused for a moment and said, "They were called the demon tribe in the past."
As soon as these words came out, Pang Jian was also surprised: "Demon tribe?"
"Well, the spiritual beasts of the Holy Spirit Continent today, including the dragons, were all part of the demon race in that long-ago era." Fan Chen had a unique understanding of this forgotten history and explained, "Dragons, phoenixes, black turtles, Yuan snakes, and the terrifying beasts of the fifth realm are all classified as demons."
"After the emergence of alien races such as the Celestial Race, the Demon Scale Race, the Ghost Race, the Flame Race, and the Shining Race in Purgatory, they were supported by the alien gods from foreign lands and worked hard to suppress the Demon Race. The era when the Demon Race dominated Purgatory was eventually ended by these alien races."
"Now, the demon race, which once had a glorious history, has become what we call fierce beasts and spiritual beasts."
"When the human race rose up in anger and tried to overthrow the situation where the alien race dominated Purgatory, tenth-level spirit beasts such as the Sky Phoenix, the Giant Dragon, and the Yuan Snake responded one after another."
"They have avenged the demon race."
