e water within a thousand-zhang radius around him exploded with a deafening roar, transforming into billowing mist that spun rapidly, resembling a mist dragon rising into the sky.From within the mist,...Cheng Zuo's words, Jiang Yun understood!
These cultivators entered the outer battlefield for one reason: to guard this place and prevent demonic beasts from entering the Dao Domain.
As for why I'm here, it's to save Yue Ruhuo.
However, from what Zuo said, it's also clear that he was indirectly hinting at the reason why Lu Ao and his descendants entered the Outer Domain Battlefield. Just like them, their purpose was also to guard this place.
And this once again made Jiang Yun think about his previous doubts, who on earth sent so many cultivators to the battlefield outside the domain
Thinking about this, Jiang Yun simply and directly asked: “That’s right, I came here to save a friend!”
"Fellow cultivators, you and all the fellow cultivators who guard this outer battlefield, why have you come here Who sent you"
Faced with Ginger Cloud's question, Cheng Zuo did not answer directly but asked back, "I don't know, Daoist Ginger, which level area are you preparing to go to for rescue"
Jiang Yun stared intently at Cheng Zuo, hesitated for a moment before replying, "Level nine!"
Actually, the place Jiang Yun wanted to go was the Death Zone, and then from the Death Zone he would enter the area guarded by cultivators of the Annihilation Domain. However, Cheng Zuo's words made the vigilance that Jiang Yun had just dispelled reappear in his heart, so he didn't tell the truth.
"Level 9"
Cheng Zu was taken aback for a moment. He glanced at Jiang Yun and shook his head, "Jiang Daoist, it's not that I underestimate you, but the dangers in between to reach the Ninth Level area are beyond your imagination."
"Moreover, if the person you wish to save is truly in the Ninth Level, then, speaking frankly and perhaps offending Daoist Ginger, I'm afraid they might already be gone!"
"Even so," Ginger Cloud smiled, "I must go."
"Okay!"
Cheng Zuo didn't try to persuade Jiang Yun anymore, nodding and saying: "I can't help with anything else, but I have a map leading to the fifth level area here, which should be of some help to you."
As he spoke, Cheng Zuo gave Jiang Yun a jade slip.
Jiang Yun's heart suddenly filled with joy.
A map is exactly what I need most right now, I didn't expect Cheng Zuo to have one.
So, Gingercloud did not hesitate to accept the jade slip from Chengzuo. She glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed a map before thanking Chengzuo.
"Thank you, Daoist friend. This map is of great help to me."
Cheng Zuo waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's just a map. How can it compare to your life-saving grace, friend"
"I know, fellow Daoist Jiang, you must have many questions. However, because the reason for your arrival here differs from ours, there are some things I cannot reveal."
These words naturally left Jiang Yun puzzled. Could there be some enormous secret hidden on this foreign battlefield
And these secrets, only monks like Cheng Zuo who are stationed here have the qualifications to know.
As for others, like Blood Robe and myself, we did not come for that reason, so we have no right to know.
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Since Daoist Cheng is not convenient to say, then Jiang certainly cannot force him."
However, Jiang Mo is very worried about the safety of Lu Xiaoyu and his grandson, so he begs Cheng Daoist, could you please give him some guidance on how to find them
About the secrets of this extraterrestrial battlefield, Jiang Yun could ignore it, but for the safety of Lu Xiaoyu and the others, Jiang Yun absolutely couldn't just sit idly by.
Even, Jiang Yun had already made up his mind. Since he had come to this extraterritorial battlefield, no matter what the reason was for Lu Xiaoyu and the others to be here, he would do everything in his power to bring them back to the Dao Domain.
Although the current environment is still harsh, it's far better than the battlefields outside the domain.
Jiangyun's question caused Chengzuo's face to show obvious hesitation.
After a moment's thought, he continued: "As for the Lu family ancestors and grandchildren, I can only say that although they came here for the same reason, their status as demon cultivators should ensure their safety."
"If Ginger Daoist friend can really successfully reach the Ninth Level area, perhaps there is a chance to meet them!"
Thank you!
Cheng Zuo's words truly touched Jiang Yun's heart, and he bowed to Cheng Zuo once more in gratitude.
Lu Ao and they being demon cultivators means they receive different treatment here, so they should still be alive.
Cheng Zuo said faintly, "If there's nothing else, then Cheng Mo won't keep Jiang Daoist any longer!"
This is Cheng Zuo giving the order to expel guests.
However, Gingercloud pretended not to hear and said, "Daoist Cheng, I have one more small question."
"Ask!"
"I just heard a conversation between a few fellow cultivators, it seems these monsters have become smarter, haven't they"
This is also the problem that Ginger Cloud cares about.
Although Ginger Cloud didn't know much about these demonic beasts, he knew at least that they didn't possess supernatural powers or intelligence.
But if they become intelligent, it means they have developed sentience, which would be terrifying.
Therefore, Jiang Yun also wanted to learn more about these monsters from Cheng Zuo.
Cheng Zuo furrowed his brow and said, "Speaking of it, I find it strange too. At first, these monsters wouldn't attack us proactively."
Although these monsters would later attack us, they did so unconsciously, gathering together like a mob of bandits. They would charge in all at once and then scatter just as quickly.
But recently, these monsters not only know how to consciously attack in groups, but also the intervals between attacks are getting shorter and more frequent.
"It feels like they're getting smarter."
Also, the monsters that originally lived in this area were only first and second-class.
"After all, this place borders on a secondary zone, so there are occasional incursions of secondary monsters into this area."
But just now, you also saw it, this time, a level three monster appeared!
"It's quite strange that level 3 demon beasts could safely traverse a vast level 2 region and arrive in the level 1 region, considering the distance."
"If this keeps going, it won't be long before we are simply unable to hold this place. "
Looking at Cheng Zuo's expression, Jiang Yun knew that these problems were clearly beyond his understanding as well.
Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said, "When did this situation begin"
"Not long, probably about eleven or twelve years."
2013!
Jiang Yun calculated in his heart, at that time, it should have been when he was asking the Daotian Grand Competition "death."
This also gave him a strange thought... Could there be some connection between these monsters' transformations and himself
But he quickly dismissed this idea, because it was simply impossible!
Jiang Yun then asked, "Then wouldn't it be simpler to just kill all the monsters in this area"
"Of course I've thought about it!" Cheng Zuo sighed. "Not only have I thought about it, we've actually done it."
"However, these demonic beasts are like weeds. Even if we exterminate them all, they will soon reappear, and their numbers will only increase."
Therefore, we suspect that within each layer, there is a secret passage hidden from us all along. It's possible that monsters constantly enter this realm through these passages!
Jiang Yun nodded. Since even Cheng Zu couldn't explain it, he had no clue either.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun stood up and said, "I apologize for disturbing Daoist Cheng for so long. Then Jiang will take his leave!"
Cheng Zuo did not try to persuade him. He calmly said, "My duty binds me, and I cannot see you off!"
Jiang Yun nodded and bowed to the other cultivators here, "Fellow cultivators, farewell!"
Ginger Cloud's figure soared into the air, disappearing in an instant at the edge of the sky.
But at this moment, Cheng Zuo's eyes gleamed with a light. Unnoticed, he took out a communication jade slip...
First released on the繁體 novel website. If so, then there was no point to this illusion at all!Thinking of this, Jiang Yun could no longer hold back and suddenly opened his eyes.……"Hurry, faster!"Within the vast form of the Yin Spirit Bea...
