Wonderland

Chapter 1622: Cloud Mirage City

The man with eyes all over his head showed a look of horror after seeing Xiao Lin and feeling the breath emanating from him that made his heart shrink. The light that was just a few feet in front of Xiao Lin suddenly exploded and disappeared.

"Senior, I bow to you." He came in front of Xiao Lin, bowed deeply and respectfully, and then turned and left.

Xiao Lin remained noncommittal. This person was only at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He did not take him seriously at all. If he really did not know how to live or die and dared to attack him, then he would be like an old man hanging himself because he was tired of living.

"They are the Red Water Hundred Eyes Clan, one of the many sea tribes. Their innate magical power is the Red Water Eyes. Once they are hit by the Red Water Eyes, all the muscles and bones will melt instantly. This is because the Red Water Eyes are not only extremely corrosive, but also highly toxic. Unless one has more magical power than others, it is difficult to resist the attack of the Red Water Eyes." Xia Fu on the side smiled slightly and explained.

"Fairy, you really know a lot about the sea people. Could it be that all sea people have innate magical powers?" Xiao Lin asked.

Shaking his head, Xia Fu said, "Even if the heavens want to favor a group, it is usually limited. Among the many sea tribes, only a very small number of them can be born with innate magical powers. This is just like us humans, only a very small number of people have spiritual roots. The same is true for the sea tribe. When they are young, only those who awaken their innate magical powers can embark on the path of cultivation. Otherwise, they can only live in ignorance for the rest of their lives."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Lin nodded, as if he was thinking of the scene when he first started to cultivate immortals. As a mortal among the mortals, how could he have thought that one day he would be able to fly into the sky and escape into the ground, and go in and out of the sky? The vast majority of ordinary mortals toiled all their lives, lived in ignorance, and eventually returned to dust and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

As the two of them walked towards the city, Xiao Lin looked at the various sea creatures beside him and couldn't help but sigh at the wonders of the creation of heaven and earth. The creatures in the sea were originally low in intelligence. Before they were awakened, they only knew bloodthirsty killing and the law of the jungle, so they were classified as monsters. Only after the Golden Core stage can they open their spiritual intelligence and truly embark on the path of cultivation. Only when the Golden Core is accomplished can they become true cultivators.

The sea people are different, they are born with intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans. The only difference is that they have obvious aquatic characteristics. If they want to truly advance into human form, they still need a long process of cultivation. Of course, those sea people who do not have awakened talents are like ordinary mortals and cannot embark on the path of cultivation.

The numerous sea creatures in this city of all seas are those who have awakened their innate magical powers. Their cultivation levels vary, but overall, most of them are below the Spirit Transformation stage. Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage are already considered high-level.

Xiao Lin also deliberately restrained his breath, revealing only an aura comparable to that of a late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm, which was able to intimidate the strange looks around him.

Along the way, Xiao Lin also learned from Xia Fu that this Zhonghai City belongs to the edge of the Sea Clan Domain. It is a medium-sized fairy city in the Sea Clan Domain. Most of the people gathered in it are Sea Clan cultivators. Of course, there are also cultivators from the other three domains, such as the magic cultivators wearing black robes and covering their faces, and the fairy cultivators carrying all kinds of strange fairy magic weapons. Xiao Lin even saw the ghost cultivators who exuded a cold aura and wherever they passed, it was like a gust of cold wind.

Although the immortal and demonic paths have always been incompatible, this seems to have been broken in the Zhonghai City. The cultivators of all races live in harmony. Xiao Lin even saw demonic cultivators and immortal cultivators walking together, talking and laughing, looking very harmonious.

This surprised Xiao Lin a little, because Xia Fu had just said that immortals and demons could not coexist. Yet, he saw such a "disharmonious" scene in the Zhonghai Immortal City.

As if seeing the doubt in Xiao Lin's eyes, Xia Fu said at the side: "Hundreds of thousands of miles north of the Zhonghai Xian City is a place where fierce beasts in the sea gather. Most of the fierce beasts there are from the first to third level, but fourth-level fierce beasts can often be encountered, so the cultivators will form a team to hunt them. Some fierce beasts need to be restrained by magic skills, and some fierce beasts need to be restrained by immortal skills, and so on. That's why there will be scenes of immortals and demons teaming up for trials. In fact, the so-called immortals and demons cannot coexist, but it is nothing more than the immortals and demons in the Yin Demon Realm and the Qian Star Realm are at loggerheads. In the final analysis, it is also for the competition for the resource Star Demon Stone between the two realms, which has caused countless years of fighting. Many immortals and demons who do not recognize this situation will also leave the two realms, and the immortals and demons who leave the two realms will mostly choose the Sea Clan Realm, which is also the reason why there are a large number of immortals and demons in the Sea Clan Realm."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin also showed an expression of understanding. In fact, he felt the same way. The so-called immortal and demonic paths were nothing more than the absorption of different energies from heaven and earth. At the same time, the demonic energy formed by the gathering of the Xuanyin force could stimulate many negative emotions and senses in living beings, making the demonic cultivators moody. In addition, the magic powers cultivated by some demonic cultivators were extremely cruel, and even required the devouring of the flesh, blood and souls of living beings. This caused public outrage, resulting in the demonic cultivators being disliked by cultivators of most races for countless years.

But everything has two sides. There are hypocrites in the immortal path, and there are real villains in the devil path. The so-called right and wrong is sometimes just a matter of one thought.

Soon, the two walked into the center of the city, and Xiao Lin saw the teleportation hall at a glance. The teleportation array in Zhonghai City was not a cross-domain teleportation array, so it was open to the public. Outside the teleportation hall, there stood a row of strange-looking sea cultivators guarding, vigilantly watching the surrounding environment.

"These sea cities are under the jurisdiction of a branch of the sea people - the Cold-horned Winged Clan."

After hearing what Xia Fu said, Xiao Lin suddenly understood. The faces of this row of sea clan monks guarding were undoubtedly human, with double horns on their heads, long arms, and hands that were like dragon claws. The most important thing was that when they raised their hands, a sticky wing web was revealed, and it was hidden when they didn't raise their hands.

After sighing for a while, Xiao Lin followed Xia Fu and walked directly towards the teleportation hall.

The people who were originally queuing outside the teleportation hall showed dissatisfaction when they saw Xia Fu walking directly into the hall without paying any attention to the people queuing outside. Especially several cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm, their faces were grim.

"Hmph~~" At this time, a cold snort came from Xia Fu's nose, and the air around her instantly stagnated, and the temperature seemed to drop by dozens of degrees in an instant. More importantly, the majestic aura of the Tribulation Crossing cultivator in Xia Fu's body suddenly burst out, and then disappeared in the shocked eyes of everyone.

It was at this time that Xia Fu turned her pretty face covered with frost to look at the people around her. The cultivators who were in the middle and late stages of the Spirit Transformation realm before now looked like good children, looking elsewhere, as if it was other people who had shown dissatisfaction before.

Xiao Lin watched with amusement. Xia Fu obviously didn't want to cause any trouble either. He snorted coldly again and walked straight into the hall.

In fact, not only the many monks waiting in line, but even the row of cold-horned, winged people were silent.

Are you kidding? A cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage is a dominant existence wherever he is in the spiritual world. Under normal circumstances, people of their realm may not even encounter a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in their entire life, so how dare they disrespect a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage?

Especially those middle and late stage Jinhua cultivators who had shown dissatisfaction on their faces before were extremely panicked. Although they forced themselves to act as if it was none of their business, the cold sweat that instantly appeared on their foreheads betrayed them.

"Fortunately, this senior is so broad-minded, otherwise you would have lost your lives today." A guard of the Cold-Horned Winged Tribe said with a sneer as he looked at those people.

"Judging from the attire of that senior, he should be an immortal cultivator. If he had met a demonic senior, I'm afraid all of us would be doomed today." One of them wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still with a frightened expression.

"Yes, yes, we are lucky today. But when did such a senior expert come to our Zhonghai City?"

"Maybe they are just passing by. Seeing how hurried these two seniors are, it is obvious that they have something important to do and need to leave here."

"That senior is really beautiful, just like an ice beauty. But I heard that the most beautiful woman in Tianyin Sea is the ghost girl from Luo Guiyu. I wonder how this senior compares to the ghost girl?"

"The ghost girl is definitely beautiful. That is universally acknowledged in our Tianyin Sea. I heard that many bigwigs in the immortal and demon worlds want to become the ghost girl's lover and become her Taoist partner. Unfortunately, this ghost girl is not only extremely beautiful, but also has an unfathomable realm. In addition, behind her..."

The people outside were talking in low voices, obviously worried about being heard by the people inside. However, their words could not escape Xiao Lin's ears, so he heard them clearly and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

This reminded him of when he had a lower level of cultivation and had to behave himself timidly. When he met the senior master who swaggered into the city without regard for the rules, he was extremely envious and even fantasized that he would be able to do the same one day.

Unconsciously, after thousands of years, he had become a high-level cultivator in the spiritual world. The scene that he once envied was nothing special to him now. If it weren't for the changes in those people, Xiao Lin would have even forgotten his previous expectations.

"These guys are still chattering. Xia Fu, why don't you teach them a lesson?" Xia Fu's pretty face revealed a bit of coldness as she said angrily.

"They are just a few chatterboxes. Why should the fairy bother with them?" Xiao Lin advised from the side, but he was also a little puzzled. Xia Fu seemed to have overreacted. After all, they were just a few juniors. If Xia Fu really took action, wouldn't she be known as a bully?

Although the world of immortal cultivation is a place where the strong prey on the weak, even the cultivators of the demonic path would disdain to take action against some low-level cultivators, unless these low-level cultivators were ignorant of their own danger and colliding with high-level cultivators, which would bring them fatal disaster. But for those who can cultivate to the level of Divine Transformation, who has a questionable IQ? They usually don't even have time to keep a low profile, so how could they be ignorant of their own danger and cause trouble everywhere?

Hearing this, Xia Fu's expression eased a little, and she said, "Brother Xiao is right. It is Xia Fu who is obsessed. This teleportation array is not a cross-domain teleportation array, but it can go to Yun Shen City, which is relatively close to Luo Guiyu."

After saying that, Xia Fu came to the teleportation array, and several cultivators who were originally planning to enter the teleportation array stepped back to both sides, obviously giving the opportunity to Xia Fu and Xiao Lin.

The terrifying pressure from a Tribulation Crossing cultivator that Xia Fu had just revealed was not only felt by the people outside, but even the people inside the teleportation array also understood that a senior master had arrived, someone they could not afford to offend.

"Two seniors, are you going to Yunmiage City?" The two members of the Lengjiao Chiwei tribe who were responsible for collecting the transportation fees also came over respectfully, first saluted respectfully to the two, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, this is the fee for the transfer." After Xia Fu finished speaking, a light flashed on his hand, revealing a bag that looked to be about a foot in size and heavy. He threw it to one of them.

The man took the bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"The extra amount will be considered as your additional expenses. Now open the teleportation array."

"Yes, senior, please wait a moment. I will confirm the location of Yunmiage City." After some adjustments, as a strong white light emerged from the teleportation array, Xia Fu and Xiao Lin stepped into it. As the white light flashed suddenly, their figures disappeared.

Xiao Lin had experienced the feeling of teleportation countless times. As his eyes went dark and bright, the two of them appeared in an unfamiliar hall. The entire hall had only one exit, revealing a white light.

"This is Yun Shen City. Although Yun Shen City belongs to the Sea Clan Domain, it has penetrated deep into the Guichou Sea. As long as we can pass through the Guichou Sea, we will enter the Luo Gui Domain."

"Is Luo Guiyu really a holy place for ghost cultivators to practice?" Xiao Lin was also very curious about Luo Guiyu. When he was in the Holy Moon Continent, he heard that in the westernmost part of the world, there was a place called Fengdu Mountains, where there were countless ghost cultivators. Ghost cultivators have always been a very mysterious existence in the world of immortal cultivation.

Ghost cultivators rarely appear in the world of immortals, and the magical powers comprehended by ghost cultivators are mostly of cold and yin nature. There are even rumors that if a ghost cultivator reaches the peak of his cultivation, the place he ascends to is not the immortal world, but the legendary underworld.

But whether it was true or not, Xiao Lin had no idea, because Xiao Lin had never seen a ghost cultivator ascend to heaven, and even if he saw it, he would not know where he would ascend to in the end.

"In the Luo Ghost Realm, there are Ghost Yin Veins everywhere. In fact, the Ghost Yin Veins and the Xuan Yin Veins are just different names. The demonic and ghost paths all absorb the power of Taiyin between heaven and earth, which is exactly the opposite of the immortal cultivators absorbing the true yang spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But in ancient rumors, the power of Taiyin or the true yang immortal spiritual energy are ultimately just a form of power, and there is no distinction between good and bad. In higher planes, there are also higher-level powers that transcend these two powers." Xia Fu explained, as if seeing the doubts in Xiao Lin's heart.
