Chapter 1466 Expedition to Lingxu
Originally, Xiao Mian planned to enter Lingxu alone. Even if something happened, he should be able to escape unscathed with the magical power of the immortal stone.
As for Lin Donglai, it depends on his performance. If he is of the same mind, it is not a bad idea to store him in the immortal stone space when necessary.
But now, the plan cannot keep up with the changes...
Conservatively speaking, there are at least 8,000 monks besieged around Bingfu before. Is it really necessary to take them all with you?
Xiao Mian is not a nanny!
If I don't take them, I will attract public anger now.
If I take them, I will die, and I will also attract public anger in the future.
If I take them, I will live, but I don't find the so-called ancient ruins. Xiao Mian is afraid that he will not be able to escape unscathed. Fortunately, Xiao Mian has already said it in advance.
The ancient ruins are fictitious!
Everyone's safety depends on fate!
Having said that, you still want to follow me into Lingxu. Even if you all die at that time, I will not take any responsibility!
Of course, if possible, Xiao Mian naturally did not want too many casualties.
Therefore, Xiao Mian had to set a very high assessment standard.
According to Xiao Mian's estimate, the total number of cultivators entering Lingxu is at most a hundred people!
The first standard - Divine Consciousness!
Xiao Mian's reason is also understandable. The highest combat power in Lingxu is the Golden Core. What Xiao Mian needs is a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core!
No Divine Consciousness, No Entry into Lingxu!
The first standard alone eliminated nine-tenths of the cultivators.
The second standard - Background!
The stronger the sect, the more welcome Xiao Mian.
In Xiao Mian's opinion, there are many cultivators in the sect, and the death of one or two is no big deal; the casualties of scattered soldiers and guerrillas are their own lives.
Of course, to be fair, the comprehensive strength of the sect cultivators is indeed stronger.
In this regard, Xiao Mian asked himself if he was trying to protect those weak scattered cultivators or small forces, but he was criticized by thousands of people and accused of clinging to the powerful.
Let him scold you, it's not like he hasn't been scolded before!
The truth about Lingxu will be revealed to the world in the future, and there will always be a time when the truth will come out.
The third criterion - strength!
The cultivator himself must have the strength that Xiao Mian can accept.
In this way, Xiao Mian took a quick look and selected the candidates he thought were suitable among the many reserve Jindan cultivators.
Along the way, eight out of ten were ruthlessly eliminated by Xiao Mian.
Among these people, some retreated in the face of difficulties, and some were unreasonable.
Xiao Mian didn't care. Those who were not convinced could stay if they could take his move!
It should be noted that after the first round of spiritual consciousness screening, all those who stayed were quasi-Yuanying cultivators.
These quasi-Yuanying cultivators usually only thought that they were invincible Jindan, but now that Xiao Mian ruthlessly eliminated them, most of them were resentful.
But soon, Xiao Mian used his strength to suppress them.
The quasi-Yuanying cultivators who were eliminated by Xiao Mian were no match for Xiao Mian!
The huge gap in strength made these eliminated Jindan cultivators unwilling but reluctant.
It's not that they didn't give you a chance, it's that you don't have the strength to grasp it.
Who can you blame?
After these three rounds of screening, the number of cultivators left was reduced to a hundred.
Among them, the vast majority were elites from all sides.
Tiandu City was quite active this time.
More than half of the sects in the nine holy places had disciples participating.
Lin Guiyuan from Jianling Valley, Xu Lijin from Shanhe Palace, Bingmo from Binghuo Demon Palace, and even Guangyin Tiannv from Guangyin Valley...
Among them, Yunhai Jianting had the largest number of people.
The nominal leader of Tiandu City in this expedition to the East China Sea was Yunhai Jianzun.
In order to enhance the prestige of Yunhai Jianting and his personal prestige, Yunhai Jianzun can be said to have dispatched the elite coefficient of Yunhai Jianting this time.
Not only the Yuanying ancestors, but also the Jindan cultivators are full of talents.
From Yun Lingtian down, Wan Xingyun, Ji Yue, Pang Bai and others all went to fight. Of course, Yun Shuanglan, who had a blood feud with the Three Temples of the East China Sea, was also among them!
In addition to the disciples of the Holy Land, there were also disciples from the aristocratic families such as He Xing'an and Mo Wentian.
Most of the disciples from the aristocratic families in Tiandu City were actually disciples from the Holy Land.
Tiandu City and the nine holy places are almost the same thing...
Outside Tiandu City, the Vacuum Dao sent Chen Jingxuan and He Jingkong, two major disciples, while the Yanji Sect sent the founding disciple Yan Mo to take charge. Because the Thunder God had already condensed and had no chance to go to the Lingxu, the Leizhen Palace sent Yuan Yuan, who was in charge of the thunder weapon.
Some other people were also mostly familiar faces that Xiao Mian was familiar with.
For example, the enemies Yu Wushuang and Hua Mancheng from Qin County, such as the rising star Xie Lingfeng from Chu County, such as the Buddhist monk Daoerji from the Tantric Sect of Xishuzhou...
As for Xiao Mian's family, he didn't bring any of them.
Only Jing Chu insisted on going with Xiao Mian. After a look at each other, Xiao Mian followed his advice.
However, the Xuanling demon general who came from the Nanyan demon realm also chose to go on an expedition to Lingxu.
Of course, there is also the Demon Seal who is afraid of chaos in the world...
There is another person, but Xiao Mian still remembers him clearly.
During the previous screening, Xiao Mian saw a white-robed monk.
This person is not very conspicuous, but Xiao Mian keenly sensed his strength.
Therefore, Xiao Mian did not make a move to test the other party.
Let alone one move, according to Xiao Mian's premonition, whether he can defeat the other party is still uncertain.
After reaching this conclusion, even Xiao Mian himself was shocked.
With Xiao Mian's current combat power, even if he faces the Demon Seal, he will win more than lose.
What is the origin of this mysterious white-robed monk?
That's it!
The stronger you are, the more advantageous it will be to enter the Ling Ruins!
In this way, after passing three levels in a row, the candidate to enter the Lingxu was finally decided.
Fortunately, when Guitou was refining the spirit-locking bracelets and spirit-solidifying beads, he did not skimp on the raw materials. Therefore, after learning that dozens of people entered the Lingxu, Guitou immediately added more raw materials, and finally refined the materials before setting off for the expedition. Enough magic weapons were made.
Soul-locking bracelets and soul-solidifying beads are sold in sets of two pieces.
A set is worth a lot of money!
In fact, the Soul Locking Bracelet and the Soul Strengthening Bead are both primary auxiliary magic weapons.
The raw materials for refining these two magic weapons are not expensive, and it does not take much time. The reason why Xiao Mian is asking for such high prices is to rip off a fortune!
Aren’t you on your way to Lingxu?
If you want to go to the Lingxu, you must have the Soul Locking Bracelet and the Soul Strengthening Bead!
Being a driver is not a business, so Xiao Mian's lion can't be blamed for opening his mouth.
Xiao Mian's move was not just because of money.
It should be noted that after de-selection, those selected for the expeditionary army are all people with strong backgrounds and rich wealth. They still have some spiritual stones.
Of course, Xiao Mian did not take advantage of some close friends.
For example, Xie Lingfeng, Mo Yin, Hua Man Cheng and others are all given away for free.
There is another person, but it is Shen Tu Liyun!
Shentu Liyun was not a bad person in nature, and he had no evil intentions. However, he had always been accustomed to it, he had never joined any sect, and his net worth was not very rich.
No matter what, this amount alone allowed Xiao Mian to make a lot of money.
Before leaving, Xiao Mian summoned a group of people from South Vietnam on the Bingfu.
In this expedition to Lingxu, except for Jing Chu, no one else will go.
Xiao Mian first discussed the future general strategy of Nanyue State with the scholar and Qingqiu Patriarch, and then secretly discussed it with the two demon kings of Nanyan Demon Realm.
The next step is to meet the newly promoted Nascent Soul Ancestors such as Bai Yuxi, Shanhaizun and the God of Death. After all, Nanyue Prefecture will still rely on them to support them in the future.
After that, it was Bai Jintang, Honglianhua, Kong Yuanren and others. Xiao Mian donated some suitable spiritual materials and magic weapons to them, wishing them to congeal babies as soon as possible.
After dealing with these external affairs, what is left is the internal affairs.
As for Huoyunling, because Wen Tianxiu and Rakshasa were both solidified, they would not dare to make any mistakes even if they borrowed the courage of Dan Qiusheng and Xiang Liuqing.
What's more, Xiao Mian believes that after the trip to the East China Sea, they will be much more honest!
After the experience of the trip to the East China Sea, they will find that the things they fought for openly and secretly before have become worthless after breaking out of the confinement of Nanyue State!
How about the Three Sects of South Vietnam?
So what if it’s the entire Nanyue State?
He is just the bottom of the cultivation world here!
If Dan Qiusheng is either Xiangliuqing or aware of current affairs, he should change his mentality - only when Nanyue Prefecture rises can they follow suit!
Xiao Mian has a separate explanation for Rakshasa, and that is Luo Hu.
Although he could not clearly explain Luo Hu's identity, Xiao Mian was sure that Luo Hu was still alive. This alone made Rakshasa cry with joy.
The deep love between brother and sister is evident.
Besides, Huangfu Ling had already gathered his spiritual consciousness, and logically, he was qualified to expedition to the Ling Ruins. However, he was left alive by Xiao Mian.
The reason was to ask Huangfuling to find the whereabouts of Fu Qingqiong.
In the Bibotan lineage, there are only four major disciples who depend on each other.
Now that Fu Qingqiong's whereabouts are unknown, Xiao Chuqing is of no use. Only Huangfuling is Xiao Mian's most reliable and reliable help.
The last one is Hemerocallis fulva.
"Don't worry, brother! I will be at Huoyunling, waiting for you to come back!"
"...Well! The one I'm least worried about is you!" Xiao Mian held Hemerocallis in his arms full of pity, and said sweetly: "It's been hard for you these past years! In order not to worry me, he Pretending to be strong, how could I not know?"
"Big...brother!"
"Don't worry! Big brother promises you: No matter what, I will come back! You also have to promise big brother: You must be good!"
"Um!"
At this moment, silence is better than sound, everything is in silence.
Early the next morning, dozens of monks on the expedition to Lingxu were ready to go.
At the same time, the Chinese and Turkish coalition forces also completed their preparations to return to China, intending to return eastward.
Of course, the Chinese-Turkish coalition has reached a consensus.
On the way back east, they will pass by Lingxiu Island to find out.
If Lingxiu Palace really has an affair with the Three East China Sea Gods, then it will be false to attack Guo!
In this way, after several years, the East China Sea cultivation world finally returned to peace.
Of course, this calm is only superficial.
For the entire East China Sea cultivation world to completely restore peace, it will not be easy.
The Chinese and Turkish coalition forces have left, but due to the previous series of fierce battles, the entire East China Sea is riddled with holes, and even the Eighteenth Route Demon King has suffered many losses.
The Silver Thunder King fell in the Thunder Sacrifice Pond, the Clam King fell in the Thousand Fantasy Sea, and the Snail King fell in Yunluo Mountain - the three demon kings were killed at the same time.
Fortunately, the three fallen demon kings were all eighth-level little demon kings.
None of the ninth-level demon kings died.
In terms of the general trend of the East China Sea, it is fairly stable.
Even so, due to the death of the three little demon kings, there were three vacancies and a power vacuum among the eighteen demon kings in the East China Sea.
Ordinary demon cultivators naturally have nothing to think about.
Those big monsters that had already transformed began to move around.
Maybe, in the near future, they can also be demon kings.
A more intense conflict than this is the fight for the master of the East China Sea...
In the East Sea Dragon Palace that day, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Long Mu announced publicly that the East Sea Dragon Palace would withdraw from the stage of history and no longer interfere in worldly affairs.
In this way, the East Sea cultivation world needs a new demon king.
The nine great demon kings were on the verge of a fight because of this matter.
Of course, for the Middle-earth coalition forces that have already embarked on their return journey and Xiao Mian and others who are heading towards Lingxu, these things are no longer important.
Let’s not talk about the Middle-earth coalition forces who are eager to return home, let’s talk about Xiao Mian and others.
Because of the limit on the number of people, everyone did not use the treasure ship.
Besides, after entering Lingxu, ordinary treasure ships are useless.
In order to hurry, everyone showed their magical powers.
The most mainstream is still the flying boat.
Xiao Mian’s Thunder Ship is undoubtedly the best among them.
The Thunder Ship turned into a lightning and rushed straight towards the eastern sky.
In the Thunder Ship, there are not only Xiao Mian, but also Jing Chu, General Xuanling, Xie Lingfeng, Guangyin Tiannv and Moyin.
Of course, there is another person, that is Lin Donglai, the guide!
There are not only the giants of the Demon Sect, but also the descendants of the Holy Land, and the reincarnation of the spirit demon...
It is a coincidence that these people gather together.
If they meet in another occasion, even if they don't fight, they will definitely not have any common language.
But because of Xiao Mian, they are in the same boat, which is also a fate.
Besides, everyone rushed from the center of the East China Sea to the Lingxu in the east of the East China Sea, almost crossing half of the East China Sea. The journey is long and it will not be stopped in a moment.
Gradually, everyone gathered together and chatted with each other.
Sharing what you have and learning from each other is the practice of the cultivation world.
It's just that this time, from the Demon Sect to the demon clan, from the Holy Land to the casual cultivators, from the sword to the soul, the topics discussed by everyone are extremely wide.
Everyone has benefited a lot.
Unknowingly, more than a month has passed quietly.
The east of the East China Sea is in sight.
The Thunder Ship gradually slowed down, and at the end, Xiao Mian and others broke through the air.
Because of the speed of the Thunder Ship, Xiao Mian and others were the first group of people who could be counted. Looking around, there were few others.
What Xiao Mian cared about was that the white-robed monk was alone and outstanding.
Sure enough - not simple!
With a curl of his lips, Xiao Mian suppressed the matter in his heart.
Everyone looked ahead, and there was a hazy color in front.
Faintly, there was a sound of rushing, which was endless.
In order to wait for backup, everyone decided to stop here first.
In this way, after waiting for three days and three nights, the 45 monks who had gone on an expedition to Lingxu finally arrived here and completed the reunion.
At this moment, everyone gathered together and headed towards the Lingxu, which was close at hand.
It was said to be close at hand, but in fact it was thousands of miles away.
Fortunately, everyone's escape speed was not slow, and in just a moment, a thousand miles had passed.
However, even Xiao Mian was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
This - is Lingxu?
It's no wonder that Xiao Mian was surprised by what he had seen, it was just that Lingxu was too strange.
The East China Sea was still a vast sea; Lingxu was empty.
The periphery of the East China Sea was a void...
Therefore, the boundless sea water of the East China Sea continued to pour into Lingxu, and never returned - and even the traces of spiritual energy were swallowed by Lingxu.
If Long Mu's words were true, Lingxu was even gradually expanding.
Correspondingly, the East China Sea and even this cultivation world would gradually shrink.
This is Lingxu!
This is the Lingxu that Xiao Mian and others are going to enter!
