Destiny is ashes

Chapter 70 Tianyuan Realm

After all, gang members are not sharpshooters, so even if they are shot, they may not die on the spot.

Some may suffer more before dying, but some of the injured can still struggle to survive.

This was the case with the gang member that An Jing picked up. He was shot in the shoulder blade with a spirit gun, leaving the wound burnt. He was also shot in the helmet with a gunpowder bullet, causing concussion and unconsciousness.

Because of this, he didn't bleed much and waited until An Jing arrived, thus saving his life.

An Jing dragged him to the bushes nearby, treated his wounds, and gave him some water and stimulant drugs, and he gradually woke up from his coma.

"Hey...hey, big brother, you?"

After all, he was an internal breath practitioner, and even though he had just recovered from a coma, he was completely awake once his internal breath turned.

The gang member who was rescued was just as young as the dead man An Jing had seen before, probably about sixteen or seventeen years old.

But the difference is that this friend looks decadent, with a dark forehead and thick dark circles under his eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is doing very badly and has bad luck. He may even have to stay up late and work overtime every day.

Having said that, his physical foundation is quite solid. He is thin but strong. He can survive the gunshot wound, and he is not stupid.

Looking at An Jing's obviously newly-changed gas mask and bloody raincoat, as well as the muzzle of a gun pointed at his head, he immediately understood why he was still alive. He endured the pain and said respectfully, "What do you want me to do?"

"Next, I'll ask questions and you'll answer them. Don't talk too much."

An Jing said calmly, and the young gang member who couldn't even nod tried to blink to show that he understood - he was indeed not afraid of life and death when he was high on drugs just now, but now that the effect of the drugs has worn off, he might as well live on if he can save his life.

Next, he told An Jing everything he knew about his problems.

This world is called Tianyuan Realm, and the wilderness where he is is called [Floating Dust Plain].

Fuchen was originally the [Plain Safety Zone] of one of the four giant spiritual vein cities surrounding the Tianyuan Realm, a super giant city called [Xuan Ye City].

This person's name is Huo Qing. He is not very old, just over seventeen years old. He is from Danlin Town, one of the seventeen towns in Fuchenyuan.

The gang he belonged to was the Day Tiger Gang, one of the four large gangs in Fuchenyuan, and they were just fighting with their old rival, the Flame Claw Gang.

Huo Qing himself had a decent talent for cultivation, but his parents died early. He survived with the support of several uncles who were involved in gangs, and eventually joined the gang.

He is not good at fighting and usually does accounting work. Generally speaking, he would not participate in such operations.

However, a few days ago, after the Taixutian ship of the Luofu Group returned to Xuanye City, the atmosphere inside and outside the city became very tense. The Dayu Gang also entered a state of combat readiness. Tonight, they even went to war with their old rival, the Yanzhua Gang. He was confusedly named by the eldest brother and followed him, and was almost shot dead on the spot.

Huo Qing had no idea why the war started or why the atmosphere was so tense. His rank was too low and he knew too little - he didn't even know why an accountant like him had to go to the front line.

But for people from another world, this information is enough.

"really."

An Jing nodded slightly, looked in the direction of Xuan Ye City, and thought to himself: "Just as I guessed before, the riot tonight is related to the arrival of the warship in Xuan Ye City."

"This time, the fight was probably caused by a big shot from above, who asked them to fight other gangs in the same town and attack other societies with different backgrounds..."

"Or do you want to confuse the situation and cover up something?"

The battlefield is not just the town of Fuchenyuan. An Jing has already seen that the main battlefield is actually in Xuanye City.

In the distant Xuan Ye City, firelight and spiritual light were shining together. There was no doubt that the leaders of the major gangs had now become a mess, burning houses and blowing things up. The flames and smoke rising into the sky were like stars shining on the ground.

On the contrary, members of the outlying towns like Huo Qing only need to put on an act on the surface and will not actually destroy the towns on which both sides depend for their survival.

Just like what An Jing had seen before, if there was a fight, it would take place in the wilderness, and they would not deliberately use heavy weapons to kill each other or destroy towns.

In general, this is the aftermath of a battle among the high-level officials of Xuanye City. Fuchenyuan and Xuanye City are destined not to be peaceful tonight.

Next, An Jing asked Huo Qing some questions about the history of the Tianyuan Realm.

——Ah? Brother, what's the point of asking these questions?

Huo Qing was a little confused by the question. Why would anyone capture a survivor who had just managed to escape death during a gang fight and ask him historical questions?

He had just seen that this elder brother was obviously not from the city or town, but a complete wilderness person who had never been to a safe zone. But aren't wilderness people the most pragmatic, caring only about survival and cultivation? Why would they care about meaningless history?

Forget it.

Since An Jing asked, he answered honestly, just as this elder brother wanted to test whether he was lying.

An Jing was also lucky, this Huo Qing was indeed a rare cultured person among the gang members.

Not only does he know the history of the Tianyuan Realm, he can also explain it clearly and logically.

After hearing his brief narration, An Jing understood why the Tianyuan Realm was so desolate and dilapidated, yet there was a super city like Xuanye City in the distance.

It’s also because of the devil.

In ancient times, this world was once unified by the "Tao Sect", civilization was prosperous, and everyone could practice.

But one day, he encountered a [worldly disaster].

At that time, there were billions of inner demons running rampant throughout the world. Within a hundred years, no matter how strong or weak a cultivator was, as long as they began to practice, they would be disturbed by the inner demons. Countless cultivators died because of this, and it was the greatest disaster in the history of the Tianyuan Realm.

The calamity of the inner demon caused a gap in the number of practitioners for several generations. It was at this time that the demon, which was originally illusory and located in the depths of the void, came to the human world and possessed people's hearts.

Amid internal and external troubles, the civilization that was cultivated by the entire nation collapsed in an instant. Some of the practitioners who were eroded by the demonic energy became deformed and turned into terrifying human-demons, while others were possessed by celestial demons, who were lurking in high places and erupted at critical moments, causing chaos in the world.

The original blessed land and cave heaven were damaged and abandoned because of this, many sects were destroyed, and even three of the seven primordial spirit inheritances of the Taoist sect were cut off.

After the catastrophe, most people lived in the core cities and safe zones at the ports of several major central spiritual veins in the Tianyuan Realm, while other areas of the world became evil lands occupied by demons, monsters and evil spirits, which is the so-called "wilderness".

Fortunately, the demonic calamity was defeated, and the Tianyuan Realm did not fall into the end of the immortal world in the end. It is now struggling to rise up, intending to return to its glory.

"The cultivation method in this world is the most traditional Qi refining method of opening the spirit, refining Qi, building the foundation, purple palace, and forming the elixir."

"The corresponding words in martial arts are inner breath, inner strength, martial veins, divine treasure, and manifestation of sainthood."

Listening to Huo Qing's story, the sword spirit said thoughtfully in the peaceful sea of ​​​​mind: "As expected, this world still maintains the inheritance of Qi refining."

"and……"

After a pause, the sword spirit slowly said: "Just as we thought before... the relationship between the two worlds is very close."

"Huaixu Realm and this world both have Dao Courts and Dao Sects, unifying the universe."

——It seems that they are the same group of immigrants or educated. No wonder they speak the same language, this is what is called the same culture and the same race.

An Jing also nodded slightly. He was not surprised by this. There were fragments of Fuxie in both worlds, so there must be a connection.

In fact, according to the sword spirit, the great immortal Huaixu came to Huaixu with five cities, twelve towers, and 180,000 people. So where did these towers and people come from?

There must be a 'source' that led to the development of the Huaixu world by the great immortal Huaixu.

And since there is a source, perhaps there are other "great immortals" opening up other realms!
After getting a general idea of ​​the information about the Tianyuan Realm, An Jing felt that he had gained a lot.

He originally planned to leave some food, water and medicine for Huo Qing and let him leave on his own. However, after seeing that he was having difficulty moving due to his injuries, he suddenly thought: "Perhaps... this is also a good opportunity for me to enter the town?"

Given Huo Qing's current physical condition, if he were to return to town alone, it's hard to say whether he would be stabbed and stabbed as a gang deserter. There's a high chance he'd die on the way.

After all, An Jing has his own set of moral concepts. He wants to save people to the end, so he doesn't mind spending some time to send the other person back to town.

Moreover, Huo Qing has said more than once that he will reward him handsomely.

Although An Jing felt that considering the other party's black forehead, it would be a great thing for him to be treated to a meal.

But a bowl of rice is still a bowl of rice... No, the main thing is, since they have been sent to the town, why not use Huo Qing's interpersonal relationships to try to integrate into the Tianyuan Realm and then obtain more resources?

He did it as soon as he thought of it. He helped Huo Qing up and said, "Where did you originally live? Show me the way."

"I'll take you back."
