Chapter 1171: Flood Barren Valley
Chapter 1168 Flood Barren Valley
A few years later, Li Muran came to a desolate Gobi.
At first glance, this Gobi desert is empty and boundless, with only gravel and scattered weeds, extremely desolate and unpopular. However, in the eyes of Li Muran and other Mahayana monks, they could perceive that in the center of the Gobi, there was an invisible layer of isolation and prohibition, sealing a certain space.
"Within that sealed space, it should be the Flood Barren Valley!" Li Muran said: "According to the classics, in ancient times, the two realms of spirits and demons were full of wild lands, and all kinds of ancient beasts with powerful immortal birds and immortal beasts bloodlines were rampant, often endangering the lives of monks. ”
"Later, generation after generation of high-level powerful monks drove the seven seven or eight of those ancient beasts to this desolate valley, and sealed them with a spatial prohibition, so as not to wreak havoc on the ancient beasts in them and continue to endanger the safety of the monks of all ethnic groups. ”
What Li Muran said happened in the ancient period hundreds of thousands of years ago, also known as the flood period. At that time, the monks of all ethnic groups had almost always been fighting against the desolate ancient beasts around them, trying to survive in a treacherous environment. However, it was also officially in that era of exotic treasures and rare ancient beasts, a batch of big people who were recorded in the classics of later generations and finally became immortals emerged.
In comparison, in the current immortal cultivation world, not only the monks of all races, but even mortals, can live a very stable life, and there is no need to worry about the attack of the desolate ancient beasts. But at the same time, today's immortal cultivators have also lost the opportunity to compete for those top-level treasures, and the hope of becoming immortals is even slimmer.
"Can the predecessors recognize the spatial prohibition here, after so many years, it is still intact, obviously not maintained by the magic circle. Li Muran said.
Huoyun nodded and said, "You're right, the space prohibition here is not the power of the formation, but the power of the interface law contained in itself, so it can exist forever." If the old man didn't guess wrong, it was the Heaven Mending Stone that constituted the power of this interface!"
"Mending Heaven Stone?" Li Muran was stunned: "Isn't that a material that only exists in the fairy world?"
Huoyun nodded again: "The Heaven Replenishing Stone is indeed a material only found in the Immortal Realm, although it is more common in the Immortal Realm, but it cannot be born in the Lower Realm. It seems that when the ancient monks of this realm sealed this desolate valley, they had received secret guidance and help from the immortal figures. ”
"I see!" Li Muran said: "Even now in this relatively peaceful time, there are immortal figures in this world, and it is not surprising that there are immortal figures here in that troubled era. ”
Li Muran flew to the vicinity of the invisible prohibition, looked at it carefully, and then said with a slight frown: "This prohibition is not weak, it will take a lot of effort to enter it." ”
Li Muran first laid out some monitoring formations around him, so as not to cast spells to break the ban and enter the Flood Barren Valley, when other monks happened to pass by here and discovered his identity and traces.
After some preparation, he began to cast spells to break the ban.
The Flood Barren Valley is the first dangerous realm in the Fengyun Continent, and there is an invisible prohibition to isolate it, and the monks who have cultivated below the Mahayana period dare not enter it, even if they come here, they may not be able to find the entrance location, and even if they do, they may not have a way to break the prohibition and enter it.
Even Mahayana monks have to work a lot to get into it, and it's the same when they come out. In case you run into some trouble in the Flood Barren Valley and can't leave in time, the risk is great. It is often recorded in the classics that there have been masters who have never returned!
Therefore, it is unlikely that monks will come here. As the number of Mahayana monks became fewer and fewer, it gradually became unattended.
Li Muran's casting spell to break the ban was only three or five days at most, and the possibility of encountering other Mahayana monks coming here during this time was very small.
Despite this, Li Muran is still very cautious. While casting spells and gathering a large amount of heaven and earth vitality, he also let go of his divine thoughts and probed the surrounding environment.
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gathered by Li Muran converged into a sword-like aura, constantly hitting the same place where the invisible prohibition was placed. At first, it had no effect, but as one aura after another struck continuously, the power of spatial isolation in that place was finally slowly weakened by a little bit of wear.
After three days and three nights, the invisible prohibition the size of a zhang, the power of spatial isolation contained in it had been reduced by about eighty percent, and at this time, Li Muran suddenly waved his sleeve robe and sacrificed more than ten heavenly sword talismans in one go.
These heavenly sword talismans turned into brilliant and dazzling sword lights, slashing towards the weakest invisible prohibition, and finally tore a slender crack.
At the moment when the crack appeared, Li Muran's figure flashed, turned into a thin line of light, and disappeared into the crack, and the next moment, he appeared in the prohibition.
Li Muran turned around and looked, the invisible prohibition behind him was still arguable, the slender crack had healed, and the weak point of the invisible prohibition was also recovering little by little.
And the scene in front of his eyes has changed dramatically. Not far away is a huge mountain peak that towers into the clouds, and the peak cannot be seen at all, and in the dense forest at the foot of the peak, there are towering giant trees that are more than ten zhang thick and hundreds of zhang high; in mid-air, the forest is full of strange shapes, huge ancient birds and beasts, making all kinds of strange calls.
Suddenly, Li Muran felt a wave of heat coming, his mind moved, and with a slap of his palms, the surrounding heaven and earth vitality immediately turned into a wind and rippled away, forming a strong shock wave.
The sea of fire that was originally rolling towards Li Muran was immediately shaken back by this shock wave, and the sea of fire swept up on the nearby rocks, immediately melting these rocks.
Li Muran turned around and saw that it was a monitor lizard covered in red with scales like blades on its back, spewing out the sea of fire towards him.
"This salamander's supernatural power is not bad!" Li Muran nodded secretly, this salamander seemed to be just a fluctuation of vitality in the early stage of the spirit body, but the sea of fire that he spit out just now was very powerful, and he was afraid that even ordinary monks in the late stage of the spirit body would be difficult to resist.
The salamander is not stupid, in the move of Li Muran's self-protection just now, it naturally exuded a powerful aura, and after the salamander noticed it, he knew that he was afraid, and immediately turned around and fled to the dense forest, not daring to harass Li Muran again.
Li Muran smiled slightly, he didn't bother to chase after this salamander.
However, just as the salamander was about to flee into the dense forest, suddenly a red light burst out of the ground without warning, and rolled the salamander up.
The next moment, Li Muran could see it clearly, it was an extremely thick giant python, the length was unknown, because it still had most of its body hidden in the ground, just the exposed head and a python body, it was dozens of zhang long.
The python's body wrapped itself tightly around the salamander, and the latter just spat out a sea of fire, and could no longer move, nor could its mana be mobilized.
The python opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow the salamander in one gulp, when suddenly, a thunderous beast roar rang out in the distance, resounding through the nearby valley.
When the giant python heard this sound, it immediately let go of the salamander, turned into a red light, plunged into the ground, and completely disappeared in front of Li Muran's eyes.
Li Muran was stunned, this giant python actually gave up the food that had already reached his mouth, and instead hid deep underground, so deep that it was difficult to detect even his breath.
At the same time, all of a sudden, countless ancient birds and beasts of all kinds flew out or sprang out of the forest, and they flew out and ran towards the high peaks of the mountain, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The same was true of the salamander, and around Li Muran, many ancient beasts, large and small, also appeared at once, all of them swarming towards the high places of the mountain, ignoring anything.
Li Muran was in amazement, and suddenly saw a blue glow in the sky in the distance, which was rushing towards here.
When he looked closely, he realized that it was not a blue glow, but a huge wave as high as a thousand feet!
Li Muran was startled, and hurriedly flew into the air in a flash, and then, the huge wave roared towards here, submerging the entire foot of the mountain in an instant.
The bulky ancient beasts that had not had time to flee to a high place, or did not fly high enough, were immediately swept away by the huge waves, and the smaller peaks were also directly swept over, and in the forest, only those towering giant trees could still stand under the impact of the huge waves, and the slightly smaller trees were all broken.
The surroundings immediately turned into a vast ocean, and the corpses of many unlucky ancient beasts floated on it, and many more ancient beasts were not injured although they were washed away by the huge waves, and were struggling to escape from this area and crawl towards the height of the giant peak.
"How could there be such a big wave all of a sudden!" Li Muran was surprised when he saw a blue light rising in the sky in the distance.
Li Muran looked at it intently and was suddenly startled.
The blue light was a huge ancient beast covered in dense blue scales, similar in shape to an ancient toad, but its body was much larger than ordinary mountain peaks, and its abdomen was shriveled.
However, the blue-scaled ancient beast immediately opened its mouth and sucked in, and these huge waves that had just surged immediately swept up those beasts whose life and death were unknown in the water, and turned into blue glow together, flying towards the mouth of the blue-scaled ancient beast.
Soon, the ocean here was sucked dry again, and countless beasts were swallowed into the belly of the blue-scaled ancient beast, and its belly became bulging as a result.
The ancient beast let out a muffled thunderous sound, as if it had burped, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Then it leaped into a huge lake in the distance, and then disappeared without a trace.
"This ancient toad, I'm afraid it has the early stage of Mahayana cultivation!" Li Muran was secretly shocked in his heart: "These ancient beasts are really extraordinary, just now it swallowed and flooded the huge waves that were thousands of miles away, it turned out that it was just foraging!"
"No wonder there are so few monks here. Li Muran muttered, "An ancient beast in the early stage of Mahayana has such a terrifying talent, if they attack a monk like us who intrude, it will be very dangerous!"
