The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 338 The outside world

The world outside is indeed not some kind of fairyland.

So the world inside really is a prison, a place of crime.

Is it a place used to imprison the most heinous criminals?

Wang Wu couldn't help but think of things like the Demon-Locking Tower or the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

However, the guards in such places don't seem to be very tight.

Standing atop a hill, Wang Wu couldn't help but look back. The building housing the Great Wilderness Prison was desolate, dilapidated over the years, and it was unclear how long it had been built.

So, are those who have gained experience managers?

Or is this Great Wilderness Prison just a place to farm dungeons?
Otherwise, such a big thing as a prison break would have happened almost an hour ago, and there would be no reaction from the outside world.

Wang Wu began to regret exposing Liu Zongbai's soul earlier; otherwise, he would have been able to find some information.

At that moment, he even had a strong urge to go back and take a look.

It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea.

But in the end, he managed to subdue her.

At this moment, the entrance to the Great Wilderness Prison should have already closed, because no living beings can be seen escaping anymore.

As for those who had already escaped, whether they were human, demon, or spirit, they all hid and fled immediately, and almost no one was laughing loudly.

But what the future holds depends on the methods employed.

Wang Wu gazed at the vast mountains all around him, and a wealth of information was being collected as his gaze fell upon them. The four cobblers were working at full speed, deducing and summarizing.

Of course, he also activated his level 15 spiritual essence and the highest level of danger perception to sense the outside world.

Then, the preliminary results came out quickly.

Firstly, the concentration of spiritual energy in the outside world is only about one-tenth that of the inside world.

It's very thin.

Secondly, the concentration of spiritual energy in the soil is only one percent of that in the inner world.

Then there's the concentration of spiritual energy in various plants and trees, which is only one-fifth of that in the inner world.

So although the vegetation is lush, it is actually all ordinary grass and trees. Even the little fairies that can be seen everywhere in the inner world are just ordinary insects, birds and beasts here.

"Warning! The spiritual energy content within a radius of 500 miles is too low. No native cultivators have been detected. Please conserve spiritual energy from this moment on."

"Inference one: You may not have really left the Great Wilderness Prison of Sin; it was all an illusion."

"Inference two: no more spiritual energy will descend from the outside world every day. The Great Wilderness Sin Prison's operating mode, though seemingly cruel, is actually the most effective measure to maintain it. Based on the existing information, this Great Wilderness Sin Prison may have been operating for 400,000 years. As a result, the outside world has changed drastically, and the people or forces that built the Great Wilderness Sin Prison have all vanished. However, the Great Wilderness Sin Prison can still maintain the most basic spiritual energy cycle."

"Of course, in the last few thousand years, spiritual energy has indeed been decreasing. It is speculated that this may be related to those outsiders who have come to train. They have seized a lot of spiritual energy and profited from it, but they disguised themselves as the administrators of the Great Wilderness Prison. For example, the unknown cultivator who took away the four big flags did not stop the prisoners from escaping at all."

"Inference three: There are undoubtedly cultivators in the outside world, but the social structure of the outside world is probably even more terrible than that of the Great Wilderness Prison. All spiritual energy is monopolized in the hands of cultivation behemoths. However, this wave of prison breaks may be a feast for the lower-level cultivators in the outside world, because those who escape are all plump roasted wild boars."

"My suggestion is to find a place to lie low!"

"Because there is another possibility. Only a few people can enter the Great Wilderness Prison every few hundred years. The conditions are very harsh, and it is difficult for cultivators outside to break through. But this time, their wish has been fulfilled."

"Perhaps it won't be long before many escapees suddenly discover that the spiritual energy that descends daily in the outside world no longer exists, and they will turn on each other and kill one another!"

"Inference 4: Judging from the battle with Liu Zongbai, the cultivation system of cultivators in the outside world is basically the same as that in the Great Wilderness Prison. However, perhaps because there is no suppression of heavenly tribulations and no prison guards to arrest them regularly, the level of cultivation will be higher. Of course, it is also possible that there are more opportunities in the outside world."

"Inference 5: Judging from Liu Zongbai's reaction to the Pale Flame, cultivators in the outside world do not treat the Three Calamities as candy to be used daily. They recognize the Pale Flame, but they have no way to control it. Therefore, it can be inferred that the Three Calamities may be rare in the outside world, which may be your advantage."

"Inference Six: In the outside world, you will have a very high chance of encountering human cultivators who possess a Heavenly First-Rank Natal Flying Sword, or perhaps a ten-thousand-year-old demon with a Heavenly First-Rank Natal Demon Weapon, or other cultivators you have never heard of before, who could instantly kill you. Therefore, being cautious and playing it safe might be your best strategy."

-

The four cobblers quickly came to a bunch of conclusions, which were very thorough and won Wang Wu's approval.

That's right. There's no point in rushing around now. No matter how far you run away, the outside world is definitely bigger and more vast. Who knows what you might suddenly encounter? Finding a place to hide is the most important thing.

Or maybe we should just go back to the vicinity of that tower and hide there.

Wang Wu couldn't help but think of this again: No, this doesn't fit the theory that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

As the news spreads, powerful figures from the outside world will inevitably come to investigate.

"Three thousand miles away, three thousand miles away."

Wang Wu closed his eyes, picked a blade of grass, and tossed it into the air. A moment later, he opened his eyes and saw that the tip of the grass blade was pointing in the direction he was going.

This time, he saw many demons and humans hiding along the way, but even more demons and humans flew away into the distance. They did not yet realize that the lack of spiritual energy would be fatal in the future.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, he saw a group of demons turn around and run back, trying to go back inside.

But Wang Wu didn't see any familiar faces, such as Xiong Shiliu, Yuan Bupo, Lao Niu, and Lao Zhu.

However, even the weakest of them now possess the strength of the third rank, and under the leadership of several demon emperors in the Southern Wilderness, they should understand the importance of sticking together.

If nothing unexpected had happened, they would have already escaped thousands of miles away by now.

A moment later, Wang Wu arrived at a distance of three thousand miles at a steady pace. There, he found himself surrounded by vast mountains, the size of which was beyond imagination.

If it weren't for the fact that every mountain and valley along the way was different, and the vegetation, insects, birds, and beasts were all different, he would have thought he had entered a dream world.

However, it seems we're about to leave the mountains. A few hundred miles ahead at the foot of this great mountain, we can even see a town inhabited by ordinary people. Yes, a town inhabited by ordinary people.

Wang Wu could tell at a glance.

Moreover, there are soldiers from the mortal realm stationed here.

Of course, at this very moment, thousands of escapees had already infiltrated the town.

They were all very cautious, and no one dared to kill or rob. Even the demons obediently transformed into human form to gather information.

Unfortunately, as expected, they were unable to find out anything.

Cultivators, immortals?

What are you saying!

The cultivators in the outside world don't even bother to manage or exploit these ordinary mortals.

Let them live or die on their own.

Of course, there will definitely be a safety net, such as if a group of escaped demons eat up several cities.

And this kind of thing will definitely happen next.

In the Great Wilderness Prison of Sin, there is a lot of spiritual energy and spiritual plants and herbs. Only the lower-level monsters will eat anything, while the middle and upper-level monsters are very picky eaters.

But now, even Wang Wu is not optimistic.

In fact, he himself was worried about what to do about his future spiritual practice.

With a slight sigh, Wang Wu silently burrowed underground, disappearing to a depth of 30,000 meters in one breath.

Then he took out a piece of black iron, cut it into bricks, and built himself a small nest with walls a hundred meters thick but an interior space of only one cubic meter.

Since the cultivation methods in the outside world are basically the same as those in the Great Wilderness Prison, the usefulness of a valuable item like Xuan Tie can be demonstrated.

It can evade detection to the greatest extent possible, making it the best assistant for the cowardly playstyle.

Of course, it consumes too much Xuan Iron.

Ordinary people don't have this resource.

After crawling into the small den, Wang Wu quickly drew nine concealment talismans and pasted them inside, but he still felt it wasn't safe enough.

So he used up some of his spiritual energy to upgrade his passive stealth ability from level 18 to the maximum level of 20.

He was terrified during the process, but in the end he felt nothing.

At this point, his passive stealth ability had reached level 20+2.9+2. If he used that ever-changing Ruyi Leaf, he could gain another level, but Wang Wu would never dare to use it.

Because in this outside world, if the ancient tree race is already a rare thing, then this leaf of his might become a guiding light.

"Ah, we're safe!"

Wang Wu was quite pleased with himself. He controlled his body and shrunk to the size of a calf, which was also a good way to save energy and reduce emissions.

If he were to shrink his body to the size of a sesame seed, he would consume as much as 1000 points of spiritual energy every day.

this is not right.

However, if it becomes like this, although there will still be consumption, the maximum daily consumption will only be around 10 points of spiritual energy, which is still very cost-effective.

Next, he simply upgraded his danger perception to level 20 as well.

Once, in the Great Wilderness Prison, before the Serpent Emperor died, when he raised his danger perception to level 19, he had a very dangerous feeling, but at that time he did not understand why.

Now I understand.

That is, his danger perception limit is about to catch up with the Snake Emperor. Because the Snake Emperor is still alive, and the space in the Great Wilderness Prison is too small, the Snake Emperor directly showed him his fangs.

It's like the lion king in a pride intimidating the cubs.

That's called challenging authority.

But now the Serpent Emperor is dead.

In theory, no one will compete with him anymore...

Ok?
Wang Wu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, but it quickly dissipated and wasn't very strong.

Wait a minute, among those with similar bloodlines, who has a higher level of danger perception than him?

Fortunately, the problem wasn't serious, and I got the Level 20 Danger Perception achievement.

已经变成了20+1.5+1+1级，哪怕平时不激活感知妖丹，他也能享受22.5级的危险感知保护。

That's pretty good.

After waiting for a while to make sure there were no problems, Wang Wu took out Liu Zongbai's storage bag.

This is a rather unusual storage bag because it is of higher quality, and it's the only one that Yanagi Sohaku possesses.

Whether he lives a life of luxury or one of poverty depends entirely on this.
