Mysterious mirror hanging high

Jing Yu carefully considered the subsequent plan, and after confirming that it was correct, he settled down in this [Niehai Jinlian Temple] and stayed put for the time being, honing his magic power, sorting out his supernatural powers, and getting to know the surrounding environment.

After the giant star fell from the sky, the five states of the fairyland sank, and only four states remained of the original nine states, which turned into the four major fairy continents today.

If the landing point of the giant star is taken as the center, the resulting sea of ​​falling stars is boundless, and its area far exceeds that of any of the four immortal continents.

Therefore, the entire Falling Star Sea is divided into [Inner Sea] and [Outer Sea].

[Inner Sea] Human cultivators rarely set foot in it, simply because it is the private domain of the dragons of the Immortal Continent. It is rumored that there are descendants of the dragon clan lurking and practicing in the deepest part, and there have even been traces of true dragons in the God Transformation Stage.

Fortunately, dragons rarely appear outside the inland sea, so the dragon and human races live in peace.

The outer circle of the Falling Star Sea is the [Outer Sea], which is roughly divided into four major sea areas: east, west, south, and north.

The four great immortal continents are located in the northeast (Juechen Immortal Continent), southeast (Penglai Immortal Continent), northwest (Tianxiang Immortal Continent), and southwest (Futu Immortal Continent).

The [Sea of ​​Sin] where Jing Yu is now is a small sea area west of the southern part of the Luoxing Sea, which is adjacent to the [Futu Fairy Continent]. Therefore, this place is a mixed place, including demon cultivators, immortal cultivators, monster cultivators, ancient and modern Buddhists... and so on.

However, the so-called [Sea of ​​Sin] is actually just the name given to this sea area by the Buddhist monks of Futu Xianzhou. The monks who actually live in this sea area are still accustomed to calling it -

[Red Dust Sea].

What’s interesting is that no matter which area of ​​the Falling Star Sea, the top forces are almost all in the form of families. There are sects or loose alliances at the Nascent Soul level, but they are very rare. Most of the big forces that can be named are the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan.

Small sects at the Jindan foundation-building level are more common, but Jindan families or foundation-building families are even more numerous.

Take the present [Red Dust Sea] as an example. There are countless temples like the [Niehai Jinlian Temple] on the southwest side of the Futu Xianzhou. Most of them occupy a small island with ordinary spiritual power. They have established their own Taoist traditions, and most of them are modern monks who have turned to the foundation of alchemy.

Most of the rest of the territory is occupied by the Jindan family.

But the only Nascent Soul force in the [Red Dust Sea] is undoubtedly the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, the [Feng Family] rooted in [Tingfeng Island].

There is a True Lord Feng Qijie in the clan who is in the early stage of Nascent Soul. He is over 1,100 years old and is in the prime of his life.

[Red Dust Sea] No matter whether it is the Jindan family, sect, or chamber of commerce... all of them have to rely on the Feng family.

Fortunately, although the Feng family is not a purely famous and righteous family, it does not have a bad reputation for doing evil things, and is quite detached from the world. Therefore, if other small forces in the Red Dust Sea just guard their own piece of land and do not seek to expand, they can actually live a pretty good life.

After a few days, Jing Yu finally sorted out the complex relationships between the large and small forces around the [Red Dust Sea].

It took more than two months to increase and consolidate his cultivation, bringing him one step closer to the late stage of foundation building.

"Two months have passed now. The battle between good and evil in the Yunchuan and Tiannan regions should have come to an end, and the matter of Pudu Buddha increasing his treasures should also be settled."

During the past two months, Jing Yu often used the mysterious mirror to spy on Yuwen Yundan and Zhao Yuanxi, but the two of them were practicing most of the time and seldom went out, so he couldn't get any useful information.

As for the [Blood Puppet Body] buried in the backyard of his Xuanjing Residence, he was worried that a Jindan Zhenren or Yuanying Zhenjun might have set up a surveillance array around it, so he never used it.

"I still need to go to the Grand Illusionary Realm and ask Yuan Xi..."

Jing Yu immersed his mind into the [Spiritual Stone Embryo] and invited his friend named [Emperor's Descendant] to communicate.

Soon, the two met in the [Tianminglou] tavern in the center of Taixu Illusionary Realm.

When Zhao Yuanxi saw Jing Yu wearing the tortoise shell mask, his expression brightened: "Uncle, you are fine after all."

"Who is your great-uncle?" Jing Yu said with a smile, "Yuan Xi, is there any news or rumors about me in Yunchuan Territory?"

Zhao Yuanxi was such a smart person that he immediately understood Jing Yu's meaning. His expression became serious and he said:

"Uncle, you don't know that over two months ago, a sound resounded through the mountains of Houtu Sect, snatching away several cultivators from both the righteous and demonic sects right under the noses of several True Lords. This incident once overshadowed the event of the Mountain Moving True Lord forming an infant."

"I think the conditions of some secret inheritance realm have been triggered, which gave these cultivators the opportunity."

"You are one of them..." Zhao Yuanxi glanced at Jing Yu, paused, and continued:

"After an hour and a half, the four demonic cultivators were sent back the same way they came. Each of them had acquired some Buddhist techniques or spiritual resources, some even possessing Nascent Soul-level spiritual objects!"

"These demonic cultivators were captured on the spot by two Demonic True Lords from the Tiannan Region, who devoured their spiritual essence. As for the cultivators themselves... their fate is unknown."

Zhao Yuanxi was silent for a few breaths before continuing, "What's a little strange is that, including my great-uncle, a total of five righteous cultivators were captured by the secret inheritance realm. However, they weren't sent back the same way as the demonic cultivators. Instead, they were randomly sent to other realms within the Immortal Continent."

"One of them was a descendant of a Jindan family who was thrown into a Yuanying sect in Zhongzhou. He offered the Yuanying spiritual object he had received in the secret realm. The sect's True Lord was also a decent person. He rewarded him with a lot of spirit stones and low-level spiritual resources as an equivalent exchange. He also sent a Jindan True Lord from the sect to escort him back to Yunchuan Region."

"The remaining four monks are still missing. No one knows where they were thrown into the world."

Zhao Yuanxi said: "I'm afraid he was thrown into another immortal continent."

"How much are those Nascent Soul spiritual resources worth?" Jing Yu asked.

"Although it is a Nascent Soul-level spiritual object, it is not considered a particularly precious item among Nascent Soul spiritual objects. For a Nascent Soul True Lord, it is better than nothing. It is not worth traveling all over the abyss to search for it."

Zhao Yuanxi said softly, "It's quite a temptation for a Jindan Zhenren. Over the past few months, several Zhenren from the Xiaoyao League have planted spies at home, probably waiting for my uncle to fall into their trap."

"However, a few days ago, Patriarch Yuwen and Master Yueqiu came to Xuanjingju and exchanged a few words with Yuan Xi, and then those spies withdrew."

Jing Yu nodded secretly, thinking: "Brother Xiao Jin and Hu Yueqiu are rare trustworthy people. They promised to take good care of Yuan Xi, and they really didn't hesitate..."

Then he said to Zhao Yuanxi: "In this case, I am relieved."

"My uncle is not in Penglai Immortal Continent right now, and he won't be returning for the time being. You can practice with peace of mind. When the time is right, I will find a way to return to Yunchuan..."
