Chapter 246: One Year Later, the Lost Land

The front line below collapsed, and the situation in the sky was still unresolved. After a while, the immortals of the alien alliance finally began to retreat.

The war gradually subsided, the smoke dissipated, and the backs of the alien coalition disappeared on the distant horizon.

Canglan stood on the city wall, watching the enemy retreat, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Although the human race won this battle, it was at a high price.

He turned his head and looked at the battlefield, which was already in a mess. There were countless weapons and broken limbs scattered on the ground, bloodstained, and sad.

Gu Yang slowly descended from the air, and his eyes were also heavy.

This victory was exchanged for the flesh and blood of every human warrior.

They knew that this war was far from over, but at least today, they saved their homes and kept their hopes.

The human warriors began to clean up the battlefield. They carefully carried the remains of their compatriots and buried them for them to express their final respect.

Every fallen soldier is a hero of Canglong Island and deserves to be remembered.

In the ruins, a young soldier knelt on the ground, silently cleaning the blood on the face of an old soldier who fell beside him.

The old soldier's eyes were slightly open, as if he had many unfulfilled wishes before his death.

The young soldier's eyes were full of tears, and he whispered: "Old predecessor, you rest in peace, we will continue to protect this land until the last moment."

As the battlefield was cleared, the wounded were also rushed to the medical camp in the rear.

The doctors were busy treating the wounds and giving treatment to the wounded.

Although the pain was unbearable, no one cried, their eyes were firm, and seemed to be silently telling the tenacity and courage of a soldier.

Canglan walked to the side of a young soldier, patted him on the shoulder gently, and said in a gentle tone: "Have a good rest, you have done a good job."

The young soldier raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes flashed with hope for the future.

Gu Yang stood on the top of the arrow tower at the highest point of the defense line, his eyes passed through the battlefield and looked into the distance.

He knew that the threat of alien races had not completely disappeared, and they would surely come back.

But no matter what, the human race would not surrender, and they would continue to fight until the last moment.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit on the battlefield, and the human warriors sat around the fire, eating food silently.

Although their faces were tired, their eyes showed determination and unity.

This night, they left their pain to themselves, left peace to their sleeping compatriots, and left hope for tomorrow.

In the distance, Gu Yang stood alone, his sight passed through the darkness and looked at the stars.

They knew that as long as the heart of the human race did not die, the flame of hope would never go out.

…

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a year later.

Cangzhou, Canglong Island.

At this time, Gu Yang was walking along the riverside of the main island, blowing the river breeze and looking into the distance.

A year is just a flick of a finger for a cultivator.

However, in this short period of time, Canglong Island has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Gu Yang stood on the bank of the Canglong Island, looking at the land he had fought for, with indescribable emotions in his heart.

The disaster of the fall of the kingdom of God has subsided, the scars on the island have gradually healed, new buildings have sprung up, and green trees are shaded among them.

Children are playing on the beach, and fishermen are waving nets to catch fish and shrimps, a lively scene.

Gu Yang came back from Mozhou a month ago. After nearly a year of fighting outside, they were finally rotated back to the rear.

In the past year, the alien coalition has never stopped attacking the defense line of Canglong Island.

It's just that after the decisive battle a year ago, the frequency of the aliens' attacks has been extended from once every few days to once a month.

Of course, although the time has been extended, the size of the alien alliance army is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition to the dragons, orcs and polyhedrons, other aliens have appeared one after another.

Every time the alien race attacked, the Canglong Island side had a hard time resisting, and even had the walls of the defense line broken several times.

Fortunately, the soldiers still gritted their teeth and persisted. Until now, the alien race has not really broken through the defense line.

Now that Gu Yang has returned to the rear, he has temporarily put aside his worries about the front line and chose to trust other comrades.

After all, although he is very strong and has killed many enemies on the battlefield, there are also many people on Canglong Island who are stronger than him.

What he can do, others can do as well.

Walking on the island, Gu Yang is thinking about what he will do in the next period of time.

Is it to go to the Five Elements Secret Land for retreat, or go out to try his luck and look for opportunities, or stay on the island to accompany his parents and family.

Of course, he is least likely to consider the last situation.

In this kind of war, he simply doesn't have too much time to waste.

Maybe when the intensity of the war on the front line increases further, he will go to Mozhou again.

Now that he finally has free time, of course, he still has to take self-improvement as his main goal.

Therefore, Gu Yang mainly considered the first two options, either practicing in seclusion or going out for adventure.

Of course, no matter which one he chose, Gu Yang would not make a decision casually.

His strength improved too quickly, but he had a fatal shortcoming, which was information.

He now has no understanding of the level of information that ordinary souls can access, and his knowledge of some adventure places is basically zero.

In this case, he would definitely not make a decision on his own rashly, but would first ask Qin Wujiu for his opinion.

Gu Yang walked slowly along the river bank, his thoughts flowing like the river, until he slowly came to a familiar courtyard.

This is Qin Wu Jiu's residence and the place where he seeks help.

He knocked lightly on the door, and the door slowly opened, revealing Qin Wujiu's calm face.

When Qin Wujiu saw Gu Yang, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure.

After a while, the two of them sat down at the stone table in the courtyard. Qin Wu Jiu poured two cups of tea, and the faint fragrance of tea filled the air.

Then, he smiled and praised: "Gu Yang, I heard that you broke through to the realm of Yuanshen on the battlefield. Not bad, not bad."

Gu Yang nodded slightly, with an imperceptible hint of tiredness in his eyes.

This year's fighting is a great test for both the body and the mind.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, I am here this time to ask you how to choose the next path of cultivation."

Gu Yang's voice was steady, but his words revealed confusion about the future.

After he finished speaking his thoughts, he looked at Qin Wu Jiu.

On the other side, Qin Wujiu slowly put down his tea cup, stared at Gu Yang, thought for a moment before speaking:

"Gu Yang, your strength has grown extremely fast, but as you said, you lack enough information and experience. Although practicing in seclusion can increase your cultivation, at this period, what you need more is experience and A broad view.”

After listening to Qin Wujiu's words, Gu Yang gradually had the answer in his heart.

He understands that what he needs now is not only the improvement of his cultivation, but also the knowledge and understanding of the world.

There is an old saying in the past life that reads thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

If he wants to go further, he will definitely need more than just practicing in seclusion.

He needs more experience, knowledge, and experience!

After listening to Qin Wujiu's words, Gu Yang's confusion dissipated like smoke, and his eyes glowed with determination again.

He knew what choice he should make - go out and experience, see the vastness of the world, and experience things that can sharpen his mind and will.

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Qin. Your guidance is like the light of morning, illuminating my path forward."

Gu Yang stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Wu Jiu, his words full of sincere gratitude.

Qin Wujiu nodded slightly, his eyes showing his admiration and expectation for this young man.

He knew that Gu Yang had the potential to reach the same height as him in the future, or even surpass him. Since such a genius landed on Mosasaurus Island, he naturally had to be well cultivated.

"Okay, now that you have decided, I will give you some advice."

A smile appeared on Qin Wujiu's lips, and then he said: "Don't rush out yet. You can go to the library in Longjiang Realm first and go to the seventh floor to check some intelligence information."

"After breaking through the realm of Yuanshen, your strength can be regarded as the mainstay among any race in the entire continent. You are qualified to learn more information."

"After you have seen the information about those secret places and small worlds, you can come to me again and tell me your own thoughts and plans. Then I will help you analyze whether your choice is correct."

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Qin!" Gu Yang nodded, his gratitude to Qin Wu Jiu deepening in his heart.

He knew that the seventh floor of the library was indeed a very important place for him at present.

There is countless precious information and knowledge stored there, which can help him broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge.

More importantly, if Qin Wujiu hadn't woken him up, he might not have been able to think of this.

Now that he had the answer in his mind, Gu Yang did not stay any longer in Qin Wujiu's other courtyard.

After saying goodbye to Qin Wujiu, he stood up and left directly, entering the Longjiang Realm, and then walked towards the library.

Gu Yang's face was calm along the way, but his heart was in turmoil. He looked forward to learning many secrets of the world in the library.

After walking through the bustling market and passing through quiet alleys, Gu Yang finally came to the library in Longjiangjie.

It was a majestic building, with a vermilion door inlaid with golden dragon patterns, which looked solemn and mysterious.

He took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

The interior decoration of the library is simple and elegant, and the dazzling bookshelves are neatly arranged. Each book exudes a faint light, like a star of knowledge.

There is also no manager here, only Lord Mosasaurus is in charge.

No matter what needs the visitor has, they only need to talk directly to Master Mosasaurus.

After a while, Gu Yang received feedback from Lord Mosasaurus and received permission to pass freely on the first seven floors, and he walked directly into the depths of the library.

Each floor of the library has a different atmosphere. As Gu Yang walked up, he felt the breath of knowledge coming from each floor, and his state of mind was constantly changing.

Finally, he arrived at the entrance to the seventh floor.

The space on the seventh floor was much more spacious than he imagined. There were wide aisles between the bookshelves, and every book seemed to be a carefully selected treasure.

Gu Yang's eyes quickly swept across the bookshelf, looking for information about secret places and small worlds.

He knew that these places often contained great opportunities and were the best places to train himself.

His fingers finally stopped on an ancient parchment scroll, on which was written the words "Lost Land: Mystery and Crisis Coexist".

Gu Yang carefully took the parchment scroll and unfolded it to read.

As the words flowed, surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

It turned out that this so-called "Lost Land" was a small world sealed by multiple races after an ancient war.

It is said that it contains countless treasures left over from the ancient world, but it also has unpredictable dangers.

When this small world appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of many races, and at the same time it became the main choice for the Yuanshen realm strongmen in the Tianhuang world to train and explore.

Gu Yang's heartbeat quickened, and he could feel the blood surging in his pulse.

The name of the Lost Land stirred waves in his heart.

He knew that this might be a great opportunity for him to improve his strength and broaden his horizons.

But he also knew that such an opportunity would inevitably come with huge risks.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind, and then continued to flip through the parchment scroll in his hand.

The scroll recorded the experiences of many practitioners who went to the Lost Land, some of whom obtained unimaginable treasures, and some never came back.

Gu Yang was not a rash person. He knew that he needed more information to make a decision.

So he began to search for information related to the Lost Land in the library, hoping to get a more comprehensive understanding of this place.

After all, the human race is one of the top powerful races in this world, and Canglong Island is an ancient sect that governs a state.

Throughout the ages, I don’t know how many strong men from Canglong Island have been to the Lost Land, and the information they brought back is also very comprehensive.

Time passed in the silent library. Gu Yang was like a tireless statue, burying his head in the sea of ​​books, constantly absorbing knowledge.

His understanding of the Lost Land became deeper and deeper, and at the same time, his thoughts became more and more firm.

Finally, after reading countless documents, Gu Yang stood up, his eyes sparkling.

He had made a decision, he was going to the Lost Land.

Of course, even though he had made up his mind, Gu Yang still patiently looked through a lot of intelligence information about other secret places and small worlds.

After all, what if there was a better choice.

Time passed, and after spending several days in the library, Gu Yang finally raised his head.

At this time, he had already understood many secrets of this world. After comprehensive comparison, he finally decided to choose the Lost Land as his first goal! (End of this chapter)
