Chapter 2011 Yumen Pass
'Snap! Snap!'
Walking on the lotus leaves without using any magic power is like being on a floating bridge.
The lotus leaves swayed slightly, fish swam in the water, and the surroundings were hazy with rain and fog, as if in a dream.
Many immortal cultivators, like mortals, hold oil-paper umbrellas and stroll among the lotus leaves and arch bridges, looking relaxed and intoxicated by the unique charm of Lotus City.
'Rumble...'
Occasionally, thunder could be heard from the dark clouds. The sound was very dull, as if it was very far away. It was said that the rain clouds over Liancheng never dispersed all year round, but there was very little lightning.
Qin Sang and Jian Nu made some inquiries and gained a general understanding of the layout of the city.
Since the buildings in Liancheng are all built on lotus leaves, a lotus leaf often represents a shop, and the signboard is carved on the lotus flower next to the lotus leaf.
Any fairy city must have places for renting caves. The place with the most spiritual energy in Liancheng is located in the East District. It is said that there are many hermits and masters who have mastered the true meaning of hiding in the city.
After Qin Sang and Jian Nu discussed it, they decided to find a remote and inconspicuous place and buy a courtyard.
Soon, they arrived at the west side of Liancheng, almost at the edge of the city, and bought a courtyard through a brokerage firm, paying with spirit stones.
The courtyard was built on a huge lotus leaf with a radius of tens of thousands of feet. A number of narrow courtyards were crowded together. The spiritual energy was also the thinnest in Lotus City. However, Qin Sang planned to use this place as a base for future communications and would not stay here permanently. It didn't matter whether the spiritual energy was rich or not.
"After you contact Senior Tianyue, you can come here and wait for me. If everything goes well, I will come to meet you. If something unexpected happens and I am forced to flee outside the Great Zhou, I may also send the news here and ask for help from you," Qin Sang said.
Jian Nu knew that his cultivation level was not enough to stop the powerful enemy for Qin Sang. At most, he could only help Qin Sang collect what he needed. He nodded with a heavy expression, "Take care, Master!"
"Take care! See you later!"
Qin Sang set up a spiritual formation, handed the sword slave a jade talisman, and personally sent the sword slave out of the city.
The sword slave bowed slightly to Qin Sang, restrained his breath, and disappeared silently into the depths of the rain curtain.
After Jian Nu left, Qin Sang began to prepare intensively. He stayed in Liancheng for a while, inquired about the topography of Duizhou, and combined with the geomancy map he bought, he had a general impression of Duizhou.
Unlike Genzhou, Liancheng, the capital of Duizhou, is not located in the center of Duizhou.
The entire Duizhou only occupies a part of the Great Swamp. From Duizhou to the north, leaving the territory of Da Zhou, there is an area more chaotic and dangerous than the South China Sea. It is located between the wilderness and Da Zhou. Humans and aliens live together, demons and monsters are rampant, there is no order, and there are many powerful ethnic groups and forces scattered around.
Going further north, you will enter the wilderness. Legend has it that after the Demon Court was destroyed, the demon clan lost power and was driven to the wilderness by the Jade Emperor.
However, the human race today knows very little about the Wilderness, and it is said that the Wilderness is even more vast than the Eight Great Continents. Beyond Fengju and Yumen, the northern part of the Wu clan’s territory is also part of the Wilderness, and it even goes further west.
Wildness is a broad concept. It can be said that in the eyes of humans, places that have not been conquered by humans are all uncivilized and wild lands, and can be regarded as wildness. The universe is too big, and the eight heavenly states are not truly connected.
What has the demon tribe become? Has the demon court been rebuilt? Are most of the demon tribe in the north of the Great Zhou, ready to counterattack southward at any time?
Qin Sang tried to find out the news and arrange his own retreat, but he only got some specious rumors that could not be trusted. However, the location of Liancheng, the capital of Duzhou, was close to the north of Duzhou, and it was obviously guarding against the north.
To go from Liancheng to Fengju Yumen, you have to go northwest and eventually you will reach a place called "Yumen Pass". Fengju Yumen is located outside Duizhou.
As the name suggests, Yumen Pass is the last city gate leading to Fengju Yumen. There is still a long distance from Yumen Pass to Fengju Yumen, but there is no immortal city in between. There are only strongholds and towns spontaneously formed by the monks traveling between Yumen Pass and Fengju Yumen. They often exist for dozens or hundreds of years before being buried in the wind and sand. Yumen Pass has existed since ancient times.
It is said that the Duizhou Swamp extends all the way to the territory of the Wu clan, including Fengju Yumen. However, the terrain near Fengju Yumen is different. Perhaps affected by the ancient battlefield, the place is full of wind and sand, and it looks desolate.
Qin Sang sorted out the information he had collected during this period, determined the route, and then took the large teleportation formation to leave Liancheng.
……
"Crack! Sizzle!"
Dark clouds hang low.
It was stormy.
Strong winds and heavy rains swept through, wreaking havoc on the swamps below. Amidst the thunder and lightning, a flash of red lightning pierced through the clouds and wind.
‘Crack! ’
A bolt of lightning illuminated the world, and the red lightning turned out to be a spirit eagle with red feathers.
The spirit eagle has sharp eyes and extraordinary majesty. Its wingspan is over a hundred feet, but it is as fast as thunder. Wind and rain cannot stop its momentum.
You can vaguely see a person sitting on the back of the spirit eagle.
This person is Qin Sang. After leaving Liancheng, Qin Sang has been transferred several times and is now on the last leg of the journey to Yumen Pass. For some reason, the human race did not have a large teleportation array leading to the outside world at Yumen Pass.
In Duizhou, the giant in business was not Canjin City, but a force called Yushouzhai. Qin Sang hired a spirit eagle from Yushouzhai and rushed to Yumen Pass.
"After we get out of Yumen Pass, can we continue to employ you?"
Qin Sang opened his mouth and communicated directly with the spirit eagle.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir. We at Yushouzhai don't do business outside Yumen Pass," Lingying replied in a crisp voice, as childish as that of an eight or nine-year-old child.
"Oh?" Qin Sang asked, "Why is that? There should be quite a few cultivators coming out of retreat, right?"
"Sir, we don't want to give up the business outside the Great Wall, but the forces in Duizhou can give us some face. Even in the north of Duizhou, there are many allies, but not outside the Great Wall..."
Lingying sighed, "Many of those who dare to enter Fengju Yumen to search for treasures are desperate criminals who act without scruples. Moreover, the area outside the pass is desolate and desolate. If they commit evil deeds, they will hide in Fengju Yumen, and there is no way to investigate them. It is said that they have tried before, and many seniors have lost their lives in vain... If you go out of the pass, you must be careful."
Qin Sang hummed, looked at the back of Lingying's head, and suddenly said, "You are not a real demon, right?"
The spirit eagle hired by the Beast Taming House was traveling without its master. As soon as Qin Sang saw the spirit eagle, he felt that its aura was a little strange. It did not look like a transformed monster beast. As he walked along the way, he became more and more certain of his guess.
"Sir, you are very observant!"
The spirit eagle answered calmly, "You can also regard me as a spirit eagle. This is our unique method of taming beasts in the Beast Taming Studio. The master and the spirit beast practice the same way. The spirit eagle is my natal spirit beast. My soul is merging with the spirit eagle's essence. Flying back and forth can also make us more compatible."
Why are the cultivation methods of these businesses so strange? It's the same with Yushouzhai and Canjincheng.
Qin Sang complained in his heart.
Under the dark clouds, the sky was not very clear. After traveling all night amid lightning and thunder, Qin Sang suddenly saw a gorgeous morning glow emerging in the sky on the second morning.
But the 'morning glow' appears in the west.
At the edge of the dark clouds, a ray of light suddenly appeared, colorful and bright, instantly illuminating the sky and the earth.
Looking closely, I realized that it was not a rosy glow, but a fierce sandstorm. The whistling wind blocked the dark clouds, and the sunlight was refracted in various colors in the wind and sand.
Between the wind, sand and dark clouds, the outline of a city emerged.
Along the way, the fairy cities Qin Sang saw in Duizhou were all similar to Liancheng and quite elegant.
The fairy city before us is of a completely different style, like a majestic fortress in the desert, majestic and rugged!
"Sir, we have reached Yumen Pass!"
The spirit eagle opened its mouth and spit out a red light, shooting towards Yumen Pass. Immediately, tiny ripples appeared in the void, as if a door had been opened. The spirit eagle flew directly into the city without any hindrance, and no guards came up to question it.
It was as if we had arrived at the edge of a swamp. Inside and outside Yumen Pass were two different worlds. Inside the pass was a moist swamp, while outside the pass was filled with wind and sand.
The buildings at Yumen Pass are similar to those on earth, mostly built with earth and stones. The city wall facing the outside of the pass is extremely thick. From time to time, guards with murderous looks patrol on the top of the city. The power of the city defense formation forms obscure fluctuations, as if it is always guarding against something.
Qin Sang noticed that many people on the street were walking in a hurry. It was estimated that many of them were not natives, but adventurers attracted by Fengju Yumen.
The west city gate was wide open and people flowed in continuously.
The Five Elements Alliance also has a branch here. Qin Sang asked about the location and went directly to the Five Elements Alliance and took out his token.
Seeing the elder's order, a deacon named Ruan immediately led Qin Sang to the back hall and bowed: "Greetings, Elder Qin!"
Deacon Ruan was at ease in front of Qin Sang. It was obviously not the first time he had received an elder from the alliance.
"Which elder is in charge here?"
Qin Sang looked around and asked.
It is impossible for the Five Elements Alliance to send elders to every branch, but since Yumen Pass is such an important location, there must be elders in charge.
"Reporting to Elder Qin, the one in charge of this cell is Elder Hong, but Elder Hong is out on business and is not in the city at the moment."
Deacon Ruan did not explain what it was about, and Qin Sang did not want to ask further, so he said, "What spiritual objects are produced in Fengju and Yumen? You should have a list, right? Bring it to Qin for me to see."
"Yes!"
Deacon Ruan was not surprised by this. Most of the people who came to Yumen Pass were heading for Fengju Yumen.
Soon he brought back a few jade slips, which were the accumulation of many years of hard work by the Five Elements Alliance. Even within the alliance, only elders and above were qualified to read them.
Fengju Yumen is an ancient battlefield that has existed since the beginning of time. It contains magical powers left by powerful people and a broken small world. It has spawned countless magical places and produced many rare treasures in the world that are hard to find in the outside world.
Legends of immortal cultivators obtaining some kind of treasure or ancient inheritance at Fengju Yumen and ascending to heaven in one step are often spread here. Therefore, despite knowing the danger, countless people still continue to go there.
The Five Elements Alliance began collecting and recording any treasures coming out of Fengju and Yumen a long time ago. Some were just a piece of news, while others recorded the process in detail and even specified the location where such spiritual objects might be produced.
Qin Sang knew that it was impossible for the guest elder to see all the information, but it was also very valuable.
"Dihua Jade Rose Vine, is this all the information you have?"
Qin Sang scrolled through the contents of the jade slip, pointed at a few records, and asked with a frown.
The Dihua Jade Vine is a rare spiritual treasure of heaven and earth. It has appeared five times in recorded history, the earliest of which can be traced back to seven thousand years ago, and the most recent one has only been in existence for thirty years.
Qin Sang didn't need the Dihua Jade Vine, but he wanted to find an excuse to enter Fengju Yumen to conceal his purpose.
Deacon Ruan thought to himself that Elder Qin had come for the Dihua Jade Twig. "Your Highness, Elder Qin, this record was written by me. Thirty years ago, it was rumored in the city that someone brought out a section of the spiritual vine, but it soon disappeared. I didn't get any exact information, but since there were four records of the spiritual vine appearing before, they are more credible, so I recorded it down."
"So, no one knows yet where in Fengju Yumen the Dihua Yugui vine is most likely to appear?" Qin Sang asked.
Deacon Ruan nodded and said, "I am not bragging, I am well-informed in the city, I am afraid that others can't find out anything. Elder Qin needs this item, I will issue a reward, there will be brave men with a big reward..."
“Hmph! What do you know! The Dihua Jade Vine that I need must be harvested in conjunction with my special secret technique, otherwise its power will be diminished and it will be of no use,” Qin Sang scolded coldly.
"This... I am a young generation with little knowledge and talent, and I almost caused trouble for Elder Qin. I hope Elder Qin will punish me," Deacon Ruan said in fear and trepidation.
"It's okay. You mean well. The reward can be released. I need the location where the Earth Jade Vine grows, plus these spiritual objects. I will buy them at a premium. The more the better. As long as the treasure is good enough, I can even open the furnace myself and help him refine a spiritual treasure tailored for him!" Qin Sang waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Deacon Ruan knew that this matter would definitely cause quite a stir in Yumen Pass.
The guest elders of the Five Elements Alliance personally opened the furnace and customized it for one's needs, which would tempt even the Void Refining cultivators.
Qin Sang stopped Deacon Ruan who was about to leave and said, "Also, please help me find some people, preferably those who can protect me to go to Fengju Yumen and are familiar with the interior of Fengju Yumen, to help me find spiritual objects inside."
Unexpectedly, Deacon Ruan looked embarrassed, "This..."
"What? Is there no force in the city that does this kind of business?" Qin Sang frowned.
"Yes! Yes! But the situation is special now. People who are really familiar with Fengju Yumen are in great demand. Most of them have been hired for a large sum of money. I wonder if Elder Qin has heard about it..."
Deacon Ruan looked west. "Many years ago, there was a rumor that the Sword Pavilion of the ancient sword cultivators appeared in Fengju Yumen. The Sword Pavilion is a special dojo built by the ancient sword cultivators to sharpen their sword will and sword heart. It may contain the inheritance left by the ancient sword cultivators. As some fragments were discovered and confirmed to be the real ancient Sword Pavilion, the storm intensified. As time went by, it was even rumored that there was a special Sword Pavilion hidden in Fengju Yumen. It was the Ziwei Palace, the dojo of the first sword cultivator in ancient times, the king of sword cultivators, the supreme sword master, Ziwei Sword Master. Although it is unclear whether it is true or not, more and more people are attracted to Yumen Pass..."
Qin Sang was lost in thought when some fragments of the Sword Pavilion appeared.
There are five known sword pavilions in the Storm Realm, namely Ziwei, Tiantong, Tianxiang, Qisha and an unknown sword pavilion in the West. I wonder if any of them has been excavated.
