Chapter 186: Sky-Swallowing Clam, Qiongming Market!
Chapter 186: Sky-Swallowing Clam, Qiongming Market!
When the news of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace first came out, it really attracted a lot of people, and many different people gathered in Beiliang County and even Shengyang Prefecture.
Those cultivators in the Heavenly Realm would be fine, but there are also many innate martial artists, and even martial artists who don’t understand why, who also come to join in the fun.
Now, in Gu Yuan's opinion, if these people were blinded by greed and obsessed with the chance of becoming immortals, and also rushed into the depths of the Yunmeng Mountains, it would be hard to imagine how many people would die.
Recalling his previous thoughts, Gu Yuan sighed inwardly:
"I originally planned to explore the Red Dragon Palace once I had the chance to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm. But now it seems that the only safest and most reliable way is to join a powerful force like Yaowang Mountain."
It is nice to take shelter under a big tree. This is a very true saying.
Only by leaning against the big tree of Yaowang Mountain can you obtain all kinds of conveniences.
Gu Yuan also gradually realized the benefits of joining a big force to practice.
Of course, if one's luck and strength are not enough, a good thing can turn into a bad thing, just like those menial disciples who were just affected and died.
……
The suspended dragon boat sailed non-stop all the way, but then encountered some dangers.
Fortunately, the suspended dragon boat was huge in size, and anyone with a little intelligence would know that it was not easy to mess with, so many monsters and demons avoided it.
However, during this period, some ferocious creatures saw the suspended dragon boat and instead of avoiding it, they rushed towards it with great momentum.
What impressed Gu Yuan the most was a Sky-Swallowing Clam, which was as famous as the Jade Sword Butterfly, the Twelve-Winged Sky Centipede, the Blood-Knife Mantis and other ancient strange insects!
At first, the toad was only the size of a finger, and its whole body was green, looking inconspicuous.
However, with just one leap, its small body quickly swelled up, as big as a mountain, and its mouth was like a chaotic black hole, filled with devouring power, as if it could swallow the sky and the earth.
Its great magical power of swallowing the sky and devouring the earth is even more terrifying than the magical powers displayed by Jin Hou and True Lord Kurumu in their previous battle.
It was just a little bit away from swallowing up the suspended dragon boat along with the many monks on it!
If it weren't for the True Lord Kurumu's intervention at the critical moment, urging the suspended dragon boat to speed up its escape, no one would have known what would have happened to them in the end.
Of course, since the Sky-Swallowing Clam is an ancient strange insect, it is naturally not something that cannot be dealt with by a Yin God giant like True Lord Kurumu.
The main reason is that it is probably still a minor and has not yet become a mature body, so Gu Yuan and others escaped.
Otherwise, if it is a mature form of the Heaven-Swallowing Clam, it would be a terrifying existence comparable to the True Immortal Yuanshen. Even if the True Lord Kurumu is ten or a hundred times stronger, he would not be able to escape this disaster.
This also made Gu Yuan look forward to it.
Among his six spiritual pets, only Xiaoqing, the Green Shadow Sword Butterfly, has the highest potential. It is a golden-level spiritual insect and a descendant of the ancient strange insect, the Green Jade Sword Butterfly.
Now, although Xiaoqing has not yet been promoted to a mature body, he is already comparable to a senior celestial cultivator.
If it becomes a mature form, it will at least be a spirit insect of the Golden Core level!
If the bloodline evolves and transforms into a Jade Sword Butterfly, it will be able to reproduce the power of the ancient strange insect!
Not long after, the suspended dragon boat suddenly shook and stopped.
Gu Yuan, who was contemplating the magical power of swordsmanship, opened his eyes and woke up from his retreat.
After leaving the training room, a streak of light flew over.
Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and it turned out to be a jade talisman.
After clicking it, he knew all the information inside. It was the news from his master He Ling Zhenren.
"We've arrived at Qiongming Market. I'll leave you here for a while. You're familiar with the situation here, so I won't say much. Remember, be careful!"
Gu Yuan put away the jade talisman and came out of the attic. He looked at Master He Ling and nodded slightly.
The master and disciple looked calm, but some things were left unsaid.
Gu Yuan looked ahead and saw that the scene in front of him suddenly opened up and a huge canyon appeared.
It is a thousand miles long and hundreds of miles wide.
A huge fairy city was built in it!
This fairy city was built against the mountain, with extremely high walls, as high as a hundred feet. It was obviously built with some hard and rare stones, which faintly glowed with spiritual light and were also equipped with forbidden formations.
The city walls stretched out, encompassing an area of several hundred miles. The roads within the city were wide, and ornately decorated pavilions and towers could be seen everywhere. They glowed with a faint celestial light, and were adorned with celestial beasts and patterns of thunder and cloud, creating a sense of luxury.
In addition, from time to time, there are rays of escaping light, precious light, and cloud light flying over the fairy city, which is quite fairy-like!
Even the most famous buildings in Beiliang County would not be worthy of being shown here.
This is Qiongming Xianfang, located deep in the Yunmeng Mountains. It is one of the most famous markets in the entire southern Xinjiang!
It is called a market town, but it is more like a fairy city, and nearly half of the residents there are monks.
Not only that, even some demon cultivators and devil cultivators appear here from time to time.
The Qiongming Market has its own rules, and fighting is strictly prohibited. However, those who break the rules will have their hands and feet crippled at the very least, and at the worst, be beheaded on the spot!
Gu Yuan could not go to the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, but if he stayed in Beiliang County, he would be in a lot of trouble. The previous corrupt immortal energy in the Six Turbid Land was the best example.
Therefore, it is the best choice for Gu Yuan to stay in Qiongmingfang City!
Yaowang Mountain, as the largest immortal sect in Qinzhou, is also quite prestigious in Qiongming Market. It has many industries here, as well as some disciples, and even outer sect elders and deacons stationed here.
It seems to be the top force in this market!
As long as Gu Yuan stays here honestly and doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, there will basically be no danger.
Gu Yuan glanced at Qiongming Market for a few seconds, then looked into the distance.
The Red Dragon Palace wasn't far away, only a few thousand miles away.
This distance seems far, but for ordinary cultivators, it only takes them more than ten hours to control the magic weapon and fly.
At this time, the Red Dragon Immortal Palace was shrouded in a huge immortal formation.
This immortal formation was swirling with red light and flashing with a rich forbidden aura, in which nine huge crimson dragon pillars could be vaguely seen standing.
Although they were far apart, Gu Yuan could feel a surging and powerful heat coming towards him just by taking a look.
Obviously, it is not easy to enter the Immortal Palace with this immortal formation guarding it.
The appearance of the suspended dragon boat alarmed many people in Qiongmingfang City, and many people flew high into the sky to watch the excitement.
Seeing the huge suspended dragon boat, which looked like a giant island floating in the sky, many people were shocked and dazed.
At this time, on the suspended dragon boat, Gu Yuan, Niu Youde, Xia Xiuxue, as well as some other miscellaneous disciples, outer sect deacons, etc. were all gathered together.
None of them have the Red Dragon Order quota and cannot enter the Red Dragon Palace, so they can only stay in the Qiongming Market.
What surprised Gu Yuan was that Li Changqing was not among them. At this moment, he was standing with several other inner disciples, sneering at Gu Yuan.
The implication was clearly, "Even though you possess two spiritual gifts and were accepted as a disciple by He Ling Zhenren, what good is it? You still can't obtain the Red Dragon Immortal Palace."
"Idiot! How dare a Xiantian martial artist go to the Red Dragon Palace? I've never seen anyone so eager to seek death..."
Gu Yuan sneered secretly, but didn't say much.
Li Changqing was quite lucky because he had a good brother named Li Changsheng, so he got a place in the Red Dragon Order.
However, from this aspect, we can also see the arrogance and dominance of the aristocratic factions, as well as their almost undisguised neglect and even disdain for the sect lineage!
Even though Master He Ling tried his best to help such an outstanding disciple like Gu Yuan, he couldn't get a place for the Red Dragon Order!
On the contrary, Li Changqing, although he also possesses a rare spiritual talent, is much inferior in terms of cultivation and talent, and is even more inferior in terms of strength. There is simply no comparison.
However, because of his relationship with Li Changsheng and the fact that he himself was a member of a noble family, he easily got such a position!
Comparing the two, if Gu Yuan was the kind of person with a narrow-minded and extreme temperament, he would have been depressed because of the imbalance long ago.
This shows how domineering the aristocratic faction is. Not only did they occupy 80% of the Red Dragon Order quotas, they also disregarded the rules of the sect and refused to give even one quota to Gu Yuan.
