The road is vague

Chapter 366 The Lost Continent
Compared to his previous teleportation experience where his body felt like it was being stretched into a noodle, this time Li Mo felt as if he had been drifting for a long time before finally arriving at a closed cave.

The cave ceiling is covered with dense star stones, creating a beautiful and magnificent sight, resembling a starry sky.

A female cultivator dressed in light gauze smiled and looked at the crowd.

"Senior Soul Bone, why have you returned so suddenly? Did you encounter some problem?"

"Jiayin, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Bingyang from the Thousand Treasures Islands. He has agreed to the conditions I set and decided to join the organization."

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator's eyes lit up, and she looked at Elder Bingyang.

"You are the renowned Ice Sun Elder of the Thousand Treasures Islands, I have long admired you!"

Old Man Bingyang smiled and returned the greeting without saying anything more. He didn't know what kind of background this Golden Core female cultivator had in the Survival Association.

"Where is the guild leader now? The reason I had to return this time was because the Thousand Treasures Islands were invaded by an outer god, which forced me to temporarily suspend the mission. I need to report the details to the guild leader."

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator showed a look of sudden realization.

"The Guild Master exhausted himself using the Aurora Technique to summon you here and is currently meditating and resting in the Aurora Pavilion. Senior Soul Bone, how about letting you all rest here for a while?"

Naturally, no one could voice their opposition.

As Li Mo accepted the arrangements and entered a secret room filled with spiritual energy, he secretly made calculations with his fingers.

"The teleportation array here is indeed not instantaneous. It took three hours to travel there, and it also required a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to use a secret technique to maintain it. It seems to have many flaws."

But in any case, he has indeed left the Thousand Pearl Islands region.

A single teleportation was roughly equivalent to spanning the entire area of ​​the Great Qian Kingdom from east to west, making it significantly more powerful than the Great Qian Kingdom's military teleportation array.

He then tried to use his divine sense to investigate the situation here, only to find that not only was there a great array separating the place, but there were also two layers of restrictions hidden inside the stone walls, making it difficult to detect what was happening outside.

He then activated his spiritual eye, but it was to no avail.

"This is probably an underground space."

But judging from the dense, deathly spiritual energy here, it doesn't seem quite right; it's rather strange.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please try the spiritual fruits here."

Hai Shu walked over with a smile, already dressed.

Compared to the various demonic beasts in the Thousand Treasures Islands, who are dressed in fine clothes, and the wild human cultivators, who are barely clothed, the situation on the Lost Continent is clearly different. At least the people here are all dressed.

This explains why Zhang Xiu Ning guessed that Li Mo came from the Lost Continent when they first met.

"Thank you very much."

After savoring the spiritual fruits on the plate, Li Mo nodded in satisfaction. In terms of the taste of spiritual fruits alone, the Central Plains were far inferior to those here.

Next, it naturally inquired about the specific situation of the Lost Continent from the other party.

"Does Fairy Hai Shu have a map of this place?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Shu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please continue to call me Fellow Daoist Hai. As for the Kunyu Map, I do have some here. They are all patchwork versions from various places. Fellow Daoist Li, please feel free to take them if you need them."

Say it.

Hai Shu took out more than a dozen maps from her storage bag.

Li Mo was not surprised by this. The same was true for the Central Plains. These maps were often the subjective interpretations of high-level cultivators who enjoyed traveling. His master, Lu Qi, also enjoyed this kind of thing.

These maps may be worthless to some, but they are priceless to others.

Maps vary from version to version and require careful identification.

Li Mo carefully compared the various versions of the map and kept asking Hai Shu questions, finally gaining a basic understanding of the Lost Continent.

Surrounding the Lost Continent are seven island groups of varying sizes.

The Senjin Islands are just one of them.

At the heart of these seven archipelagos lies the Lost Continent.

The Misty Blood Dragon Clan are the rulers of the Lost Continent, where they established the Eternal Dynasty. Their strength is unfathomable, and they have long been at odds with the Misty Hundred Clans across the Forbidden Sea.

Every hundred years or so, the two sides would engage in a large-scale war.

However, the Lost Continent generally suffered more defeats than victories, and its strength was far inferior to the ethereal races of the Wasteland on the other side.

Fortunately, besides the Misty Blood Dragon Clan, the Lost Continent also has various demonic beasts that follow the survival of the fittest, as well as dragons that follow the doctrine of the leader of all scaled creatures. Once the Misty Hundred Clans launch a large-scale invasion of the Lost Continent, they will provide sufficient support in accordance with the ancient covenant to prevent the continent from being completely destroyed.

Although the human race has a low status on the Lost Continent, the Misty Hundred Races, who have become prisoners of war, are even more miserable.

Why isn't there a map of Longevity City here?

Li Mo asked, puzzled.

After all, Wansui City is the capital of the Wansui Dynasty.

"Ever since the Blood Flood Dragon Clan moved its capital from Xinian City to Wansui City, Wansui City has strictly prohibited all outsiders from entering. Not to mention our human race, even the demon race and the flood dragons are not allowed there. It is the place where the Blood Flood Dragon Clan worships the God of Year. Xinian City has thus become a secondary capital, a frontline place for the selection of the Holy Son, gladiatorial entertainment, and the gathering of various races to resist the Misty Hundred Races on the other side. It is also an important place for our Survival Society to operate."

Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought.

Based on initial assessments, his next goal is undoubtedly to reach this so-called City of the Setting Sun and then find a way to cross the Forbidden Sea to the other side.

"I've heard many people say that the Misty Blood Dragon Clan used to worship Xi and Nian, so why did they later convert to worship the Year God?"

"I don't know about that, but according to legend, Sui is a descendant of Xi and Nian, but he has surpassed his master. These Blood Dragon Clan probably received some divine decree. They even had a period of internal strife back then."

For Hai Shu, such legends were far too distant.

But for Li Mo now, he had already barely glimpsed the edge of order. "Alright, thank you for telling me, Fairy Sea."

Hai Shu smiled, nodded, and left.

After carefully studying all the maps, Li Mo gained a preliminary understanding of the Lost Continent.

Although these maps are incomplete, based on various clues, the total area of ​​the Lost Continent should be larger than that of the Great Qian Kingdom.

However, the ecological conditions of the Lost Continent are extremely harsh. At least most of the area is unsuitable for survival and is a wild and uninhabited region. Even the environment of Muzhou would be considered a treasure here.

"Squeak."

The money-stealing rat came to the fruit plate and savored the spiritual fruit.

The phantom of the old man jumped onto Li Mo's shoulder and looked at the map.

Li Mo stroked Xiao Zhi with a slight smile, then turned to look at the dazed old man on his shoulder.

"Master, my initial plan is to first go to this so-called secondary capital, Xinian City, and then find a way to cross the Forbidden Sea. What do you think?"

"This... the changes in the Mountain and Sea Realm are far too great."

The old man shook his head and sighed, offering no further comment.

However, while crossing the Forbidden Sea to leave the Lost Continent was important, there were a few other important things he needed to try before leaving.

The first step was to embed his dualistic chaotic thunder path into this continent.

The next step was to try to collect the feathers of the Thousand-Faced Bird and the Yang Horn, and combine them with the Divine Mud of Transformation and the Flowing Gold of Fire in his possession to forge two magical treasures: the Thousand Shadow Mask and the Flowing Gold Flowing Gold Sword.

These two items are authentic magical treasures passed down from ancient times. If he can successfully refine them, he will benefit immensely.

After all, for cultivators, magical artifacts are not only useful as handy weapons, but also allow them to comprehend the principles of order within them and to grasp the divine powers of creation.

For example, the Golden Turtle Master's Heavenly Gang Water Thunder was comprehended from his Thunder Fan.

Finally, if given the chance, Li Mo also plans to collect some local specialty materials here, especially demon cores!
Through the black market organizations in the Middle-earth, Li Mo naturally knew about the astonishing profits from reselling local specialties from various regions.

While the spirit stones and metal essences of the Lost Continent are far inferior to those of the Central Plains, the resources of spirit trees and fruits, as well as the materials of demonic beasts and magical treasures, are far beyond what the Central Plains can offer.

Especially the demon core!
The number of demonic beasts here is far beyond what the Central Plains could imagine, but due to the lack of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to neutralize their violent aura, the wild cultivators are unable to refine them into pills. Therefore, the few demonic cores on Li Mo's body have been unable to be refined into spiritual pills to enhance his magical power and can only be stored in his storage ring.

As far as Li Mo knows.

After the gods of the Thousand Treasures Islands die, their demon cores will eventually flow into the Longevity Dynasty through official channels, eventually becoming elixirs for the Blood Dragon Clan. This is part of the ancient contract between the two parties.

Therefore, Li Mo guessed that there might be demon cores for sale in the cities of the Lost Continent.

Any demon core that has undergone transformation, even if it is just the demon core of a minor demon king, would be of immeasurable value once it is brought back to the Great Qian Kingdom.

Although the Central Plains lacks demon cores, it has no shortage of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

Almost every sect has a large stockpile of related resources in its spiritual fields. As long as you are willing to collect them, you can always find the types you need by traveling to various countries.

This way.

Once he brings the demon cores back to the Central Plains, collects spiritual herbs to extract the violent energy from the demon cores, and refines them into spiritual pills, it will be enough to easily change the situation of the Spirit Eye Sect and bring him a massive amount of spiritual stone wealth.

Based on this, it will be much easier for him to accomplish some major tasks in the future.

A few hours later.

A communication talisman landed in front of Li Mo.

"Fellow Daoist Li, come to the Aurora Pavilion immediately! The Guild Master wishes to see you!"

It was a transmission talisman sent by the Soul Bone Master. Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately got up and left the room. He noticed that Qin Jiayin was already waiting outside the door, smiling as she looked at him.

"After learning about Fellow Daoist Li's deeds in the Thousand Treasures Islands, the president specially ordered me to come and receive you. You must not be negligent."

Although Qin Jiayin is nominally Aurora Goddess's stand-in servant, they are actually close friends and have an extraordinary relationship.

"Good work."

Li Mo then followed Qin Jiayin to the Aurora Pavilion.

Inside this enormous grotto, there was a spring of living water that formed a clear pool. Above it stood a pavilion with the words "Aurora Pavilion" written on its plaque. A man wearing a silver mask stood in front of the pavilion, his gaze sharp as an arrow, which gave Li Mo a startling and painful feeling.

"Another Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Li Mo thought to himself that the scale of this survival association was far beyond his imagination. It could no longer be measured by the standards of the Central Plains. Even if it could not rival the six great powers, it was definitely not comparable to an ordinary medium-sized country.

Jiayin stopped in front of the sacred spring and made a melodious sound.

"Reporting to the guild leader, Li Mo has arrived."

"Come in, everyone."

"Yes."

As Li Mo followed Qin Jiayin into the Aurora Pavilion, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the stunning beauty on the lotus flower.

What an absolutely stunning beauty, as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

Even though the years have brought out a touch of womanhood in her skin, her charm remains undiminished; her smooth, porcelain skin is nothing like that of someone from the scorching, desolate continent.

"wrong."

Li Mo's divine sense, amplified by the "Seven Apertures Returning to Origin Technique," rippled. Then, a cool light flashed in his eyes, and his original lewd desires instantly dissipated. Only then did he realize that his soul had been seen through by the other party.

Fortunately, he came here without any malicious intent, otherwise he would have surely died.
