The road is vague

Chapter 456: Great Northern Wilderness

A month later.

The Haoyue warship flashed through the air, traversing the Liangzhou land and flying towards the increasingly desolate Gobi Desert.

"Legend has it that when the Holy Emperor Qian Yuan established the Great Qian Kingdom, there were several small kingdoms in the north. However, just a few hundred years later, with the continuous expansion of the Qian Kingdom and the encroachment of the northern desert, these kingdoms naturally disappeared. It is said that the Holy Emperor Qian Yuan once tried to venture into the depths of the Great Northern Wilderness, but later inexplicably returned to the Qian Kingdom as if he had lost his memory. Since then, the Great Northern Wilderness has become one of the most dangerous places known in the Mountain and Sea Realm. The despair here does not lie in the danger, but in that inexplicable inexplicability..."

Liu Hongyan, the stone figure, spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

Because he had been following the Minister of Revenue for a long time, he had heard about various secrets of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Hehe, even a Saintly King cannot cross this area, yet those Spirit Race members were able to appear out of thin air with a large number of humans there. This in itself is a treasure. Do you think that after the ancient war, the so-called Aolai Peninsula became a spatial fragment secret realm?"

Evil Crow Abu's words made Li Mo think.

Throughout his cultivation journey, he has encountered many similar secret realms, including the True Yang Secret Realm of the Lingmu Sect and the Lingzhao Great Tomb Secret Realm in the Wild Wolf Valley of Muzhou.

On a grand scale, there are the Lu Kingdom's Heavenly Realm and the Seven Star Corridor Secret Realm of the Thousand Treasures Islands.

Legend has it that the imperial palace of the Great Qian Yuan City is itself a huge secret realm.

The numerous secret realms, large and small, were almost all formed around the same time after the ancient war, which also shows the instability of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Maybe."

Li Mo said in a low voice, "It's not impossible that these fragments of space, which were once broken and separated, will re-merge with the Mountain and Sea Realm over time."

Li Mo said this because, based on Su Ba's wisdom and experience, he had seen a small spatial fragment merge with the Mountain and Sea Realm, and also learned that the Forbidden Sea was the most unstable spatial region in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and that there seemed to be an invisible force trying to separate the Lost Continent.

Throughout the journey, Puppet Ripples rarely spoke.

She seemed more interested in the Moonlit Warship that the Wumen had gifted to Li Mo, constantly studying the warship's power design.

"The Xuanyuan clan of Chewumen is indeed exceptional in warship design."

Seeing that all three of them were looking at her, Lianyi suddenly said this.

Anyone could tell that she was preoccupied.

"Is it something to do in the palace?"

"kindness."

Since the chaos caused by the puppet master at Jimu Mountain, Liu Hongyan and Abu have both vaguely discovered that Lianyi has made contact with the palace.

Li Mo knew it was because of Cuicui.

Another half month passed.

In the vast, desolate land, deep in the Great Northern Wilderness, a place almost impossible for mortals and low-level cultivators to reach, the four of them vaguely felt their memories becoming increasingly forgetful.

Often, words spoken are forgotten in the blink of an eye, as if they were from a dream.

"What are we here for again?"

After picking up her teacup, Liu Hongyan suddenly frowned and said...

"Haha, your Alzheimer's is getting worse and worse. No wonder you're the source of pollution for the evil order, Beidahuang..."

Even before he could finish speaking, Evil Raven Abu frowned.

His face instantly darkened. He held his teacup in silence for a long time before looking at Lianyi, Li Mo, and Liu Hongyan with a strange expression.

"I've also forgotten why I came here."

Lianyi remained silent, and Li Mo frowned slightly.

"I'm going to make it easier."

He then slowly got up and went to another room.

As his figure flashed and disappeared into the ethereal box, a giant eye suddenly opened on the earth, and he began to reminisce about himself.

"That place... is disappearing?"

Whether it's the Temple of the Lost Continent or extraterrestrial evil spirits, they all possess this strange ability.

For cultivators, frequently encountering and experiencing such situations is both a disaster and an opportunity. It will bring cultivators closer to the secrets of heaven, but they may also be detected by the secrets of heaven at any time.

The good news is that, according to intelligence, they are not far from the so-called spirit race of Aolai Continent.

"Young man, I suddenly feel that since leaving the Heavenly Realm, I seem to have forgotten many things. It's a very strange feeling..."

"Squeak!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo looked at the dazed old man and Xiao Zhi in surprise.

after awhile.

When Li Mo returned to the main hall of the Bright Moon Warship, Liu Hongyan and Abu were standing at the edge, looking through the glass window at the desolate land stretching into the distance, seemingly somewhat anxious.

"have not reach yet?"

Li Mo picked up the intelligence scroll and looked at it.

According to intelligence, there should be oases of all sizes here. These oases, like the spirit race, seem to have appeared abruptly.

Then, as if remembering something, he took out a treasure map.

This is a treasure map he found when he defeated the hidden demon in Bai'an City. It is marked with the words "Primal True Demon" in the depths of the Great Northern Wilderness.

After a brief deduction and comparison, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

According to the coordinates on this treasure map, they haven't even covered one-tenth of the distance yet, which makes him wonder if that demon came from the other side of the Great Northern Wilderness.

Unfortunately, the demon's memories of these events also seem to have been erased and forgotten by the evil order.

"Could it be that the so-called Great Northern Wilderness is a wall, and also an incomparably vast mountain and sea boundary?"

Although the Haoyue warship continued to move forward, Liu Hongyan and Abu gradually began to have second thoughts. Although they did not know what had happened, the vague unease deep in their hearts grew stronger.

Just as Li Mo was beginning to feel uneasy, a patch of green suddenly appeared on the distant land.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Hongyan and Abu seemed to have become completely different people.

"Gah gah, we're finally here!" "There seems to be someone over there, let's go check it out."

The two, who were frowning just a moment ago, suddenly regained their memories and pointed to a group of figures on the ground in the distance.

Li Mo watched this bizarre scene quietly.

Although he couldn't understand it, he keenly sensed that it was a fundamental rule involving the operation of heaven and earth, subtly influencing them. Perhaps it was a higher-level being that they couldn't comprehend. The gap between them was so vast that they couldn't even see each other.

The Moonlit Warship appeared in a flash above the group of ragged people.

A huge shadow fell, and the crowd on the ground rejoiced, weeping with joy.

Li Mo, Lian Yi, Liu Hongyan, and Abu looked down at the crowd from their elevated positions.

"You are the people who call yourselves from Aolai Continent. Where are the spirit races who enslave you?"

Here, thousands of ordinary people wept and knelt in worship, with the elderly man at the head holding a wooden staff and looking on with a pleading expression.

"Four venerable immortal masters, please have mercy and save us!"

Mortals are far too fragile. From the perspective of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

"Where do you come from?"

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, we are all from Zhan Shan Prefecture in the southern part of Aolai. Due to the struggle between cultivating both life and body and cultivating the ultimate bloodline, we were forced to migrate for the sake of survival. In the end, we were enslaved by these spirit races and forced to build day and night..."

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing the old man's words.

They naturally knew about the path of cultivating both body and spirit, but what was the ultimate cultivation of bloodline?
After some detailed questioning, Li Mo and his companions learned that their environment was during a war between two different lineages of human cultivators. They had been captured and enslaved by the Spirit Race and forced to build various altars. They had inexplicably ended up here. Afterward, some Spirit Race members went mad, complaining that they had not returned to the Yuanling World. Then, human immortal masters began to attack this place.

However, these people are just ordinary people after all.

Li Mo and the others asked again, but they couldn't get any more information.

"What to do with these people?"

After exchanging glances, the four suddenly noticed another group of refugees appearing in the distance, numbering in the thousands, walking listlessly in tattered clothes.

If it were just one team, they might be able to find a way to save them.

But even though there were so many people, they were powerless to help, even if they were Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Let's go, but don't forget our purpose."

"kindness."

The four eventually returned to the Bright Moon warship and continued sailing forward. The refugees kneeling on the ground showed despair, and their tears soaked the earth.

A few hours later.

After a long search, they finally found a city, but it was completely different from the cities of Middle-earth, or rather, completely different from the cities of the human race. This so-called city was like a huge nest.

There are over a hundred spirits in the city, constantly urging the humans to work hard to repair the altar.

There must have been a war here; someone got here before them.

The arrival of the Bright Moon Warship immediately caused panic among the spirit race members in the city. The vast majority of them were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, with only a few reaching the Golden Core stage.

in contrast.

The humans on the ground saw the warship as their savior and their faces lit up with joy.

Seeing these spirit race members soar into the sky, Evil Raven Abu let out a strange laugh.

"Hehe, they're just some little guys. I'll take care of them. You guys go down to those human cultivators and gather some clues."

Upon hearing this, the three immediately flew off to different places.

Li Mo flew toward a collapsed cave, where he noticed a dozen or so human cultivators.

"Roar!"

Two Spirit Race members who had been rushing towards the warship in the distance roared, changed direction, and charged towards Li Mo without fear of death.

"You wicked humans, we've already escaped all the way here, yet you still won't let us go!"

The water-attribute spirit race resembles a giant with a large head, from which smaller heads grow, and from those smaller heads grow even smaller heads, stacked like a human pyramid, with all the heads displaying the same expression.

However, as the spiritual light surged past, the water-attribute spirit let out a miserable scream and quickly evaporated.

The other earth-elemental spirit is a giant with ram horns.

"Even if we die, you humans will never enslave us again!"

The Flowing Gold and Fiery Sword flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the earth giant screamed in agony.

"what!!"

Just when Li Mo thought he had easily killed the two spirit race members, the earth giant with ram horns collapsed and turned into a smaller giant. Its cultivation level also dropped from the late Foundation Establishment stage to the mid Foundation Establishment stage, but it still roared at Li Mo as if it were ready to die.

"It's a pity that our ancestor failed at the last hurdle and was ultimately unable to return to the Yuanling World. You humans from the Central Plains are even more despicable than the humans from the Aolai Continent..."

Bang!
The Flowing Gold and Fiery Sword shattered it once again.

that's it.

After Li Mo repeatedly smashed it five times, the rock giant, which was originally more than two zhang tall, was reduced to the size of a peanut, but it still faced death without flinching and refused to give up.

"Squeak!"

The thieving rat's eyes gleamed with greed, indicating that he wanted it.

Li Mo nodded in agreement. After sheathing his Flowing Gold Fire Sword, he glanced briefly at the distant sky.

The evil raven Abu suddenly summoned thousands of firebirds. These densely packed firebirds formed a huge, indistinct ghost face, which continuously spewed out pure demonic fire. The resisting spirit race was no match for him and was constantly slaughtered by him. Fireballs fell to the ground like raindrops.

"Senior...is this really the Middle-earth? Shouldn't you have been shattered and become history in that great earthquake?"

Before Li Mo could speak, the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator on the ground uttered something that left him speechless.
