Chapter 477 True Immortal
The old man saw Qin Ziling kill the last earth immortal in just a few moves, and a large number of aquatic creatures swarmed in from below to grab food, turning the sea water red. For a moment, he was in a trance, as if he was in another world.
It was not until Qin Ziling put away his magic weapon that the old man suddenly woke up. His eyes were filled with awe and gratitude. He took the boy's hand and said, "Young Island Master, quickly thank the immortal for saving your life!"
"Thank you for saving my life! Thank you for helping Lian Changfeng avenge my father's death!" The boy stepped forward to express his gratitude.
When expressing his gratitude, Lian Changfeng's tears kept falling, obviously he was thinking about the murder of his father.
Qin Ziling watched Lian Changfeng cry, and couldn't help but think of his identity as an orphan in his previous life. He also remembered that he was in danger just now and knew to tell him to run away. His heart softened, and he reached out and touched his head, saying: "Don't be too sad. Even though you lost your father, you still have your mother, and your elder who risked his life to protect you."
"The island owner's wife is no longer here!" The old man, Qu Zhong, sighed and a hint of deep hatred flashed in his eyes.
Qin Ziling was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he sighed and said, "I'll take you back to Qingyun Island."
"Thank you for your help, Immortal!" Qu Zhong hurriedly took the company commander Feng to express his gratitude again.
Qin Ziling waved his hand, then led the two men onto the Green Flame Eagle.
"I wonder how far Qingyun Island is from here?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Reporting to the Immortal, this place should be more than 100,000 miles away from Qingyun Island." Qu Zhong replied.
"That's not too far. Are there other islands near Qingyun Island? And who were those three people just now? Where is the Pingyu Mountain blessed land they mentioned?" Qin Ziling nodded when he heard it, and then asked again.
He offered to escort the old man and the young back to Qingyun Island. Besides feeling sorry for Lian Changfeng and being worried about him, he also wanted to take the opportunity to get some information.
Qin Ziling is now like a kid who has just walked out of the mountains and ventured into the world. He is completely clueless about the outside world.
Seeing that Qin Ziling had never heard of Qingyun Island, Qu Zhong's eyes flashed with surprise and surprise, and then he seemed to think of something, and was absent-minded for a moment. It took a while for him to wake up suddenly. He apologized quickly and said, "Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land is a real immortal cultivation paradise in the sea area of a million miles in radius. There are many immortal mountains surrounded by immortal energy, and many magical herbs and immortal fruits grow on it. The one who is in charge of Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land is Zhu Lun, the lord of the Fire Ape Kingdom."
"Fire Ape Nation?" Qin Ziling couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"It seems that the immortal has already guessed it. That's right. The Fire Ape Kingdom's ruler Zhu Run is not a human but a demon. It is said that he has the blood of the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan. King Zhu Run is not only born with great strength, thick skin and flesh, and is invulnerable to swords and spears, but also has great magical powers. He is a true immortal on earth." Qu Zhong said.
"True Immortal?" Qin Ziling was slightly startled, but he did not bother to be surprised that the immortal who was in charge of the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain was actually a demon immortal. Instead, he asked with a solemn look in his eyes, "What level of True Immortal is he?"
When the immortal infant survives the thunder tribulation, he will become a true immortal when he grows up.
There are nine grades of true immortals.
At this time, the Dantian can be called the Immortal Palace, and the Immortal Infant is still called the Immortal Infant, but this Immortal Infant is already like an adult.
Immortal infants and earthly immortals generally have a lifespan of more than a thousand years, while true immortals have an even longer lifespan, up to ten thousand years.
However, once one's cultivation reaches the realm of True Immortal, no matter whether one has reached it or not, whether one is willing or not, one must experience a wind and fire calamity every thousand years.
In other words, the wind and fire disasters can be triggered in advance, but according to the rules of heaven, the upper limit of the time interval between two wind and fire disasters is one thousand years.
Once a thousand years is up, you will have to cross it even if you don’t want to. This is not like a thunder tribulation, which will only be triggered when you have reached a certain level of cultivation.
This wind and fire calamity did not come from outside, but from the Immortal Palace. Once it started, the entire Immortal Palace would be filled with howling wind and fire, the Immortal Infant's body would be burning with flames, and wind would enter its nine orifices.
If a True Immortal can make it through, his entire body will be tempered, from soul to body, completely transformed, and his strength will greatly increase.
But if you can't cross it, you will die and turn into ashes.
After a true immortal survives a calamity of wind or fire, he will be promoted to the first grade and his life span will be increased by a thousand years.
"A third-grade true immortal." Qu Zhong replied.
"A third-rank True Immortal, that's very powerful." Qin Ziling's expression became more serious, and then he quickly asked, "Does King Zhu Run have any True Immortal subordinates?"
"Yes." Qu Zhong nodded and said, "The four generals of the Fire Ape Nation are all True Immortals. Among them, General Tan Yuhao of the Eastern Guard and General You Hongling of the Southern Guard are second-grade True Immortals, while General Ao Xiu of the Northern Guard and General Gou Huan of the Western Guard are first-grade True Immortals."
When Qu Zhong mentioned General Gou Huan of Zhenxi, a hint of hatred flashed across his eyes.
Qin Ziling keenly sensed the hatred in Qu Zhong's eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he became secretly alert.
"The outside world is indeed full of powerful people, dangerous and unpredictable, and the waters are deep. I don't know what hatred Qingyun Island has with General Gou Huan of Zhenxi. I still have to try my best to avoid getting involved."
"Are there other true immortals in the Pingyu Mountain blessed land?" Qin Ziling asked quickly.
"I haven't heard of this. Logically speaking, there should be no more. However, there are three first-grade true immortals on the land islands in the million-mile sea area of Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land. They can be regarded as the largest force on the land of the million-mile sea area of Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land, except for the Fire Ape Kingdom. However, they are still under the jurisdiction of the Fire Ape Kingdom. In a sense, they can be regarded as true immortals under the command of King Zhu Run. As for whether there are other true immortals who have hidden themselves from the world, I don't know." Qu Zhong replied.
"So, Qingyun Island will also be under the jurisdiction of the Fire Ape Kingdom?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Of course. All the land islands in the million-mile sea area of Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land are under the command of the Fire Ape Kingdom, and all forces must pay tribute every five years." Qu Zhong replied.
Qin Ziling was slightly stunned when he heard this. According to this distance range, the Xuanming Continent should be under the jurisdiction of the Fire Ape Kingdom, but the various sects and forces in the Xuanming Continent seemed to have no records of this.
"It seems that Xuanming Continent is too far away from the Pingyu Mountain blessed land. Even if one controls a sixth-grade exotic bird to fly non-stop, it will take a year or two to go back and forth. There is no immortal spirit here, and the resources are scarce. In the past thousand years, if the head of Taiding Sect had not been lucky enough to obtain a scattered immortal cave, not even an earth immortal in the realm of immortal infant would have been born. I'm afraid it would have been forgotten by that great King Zhu Run long ago." Qin Ziling quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.
“In fact, the islands and lands in the Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land with a radius of one million miles are the most suitable for cultivation. The places filled with immortal spirits are the islands and lands in the 100,000 to 200,000 miles of sea surrounding the Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land.
Most of the truly powerful forces and sects are concentrated on these islands and lands. Those further away are basically remote and barren areas. Not to mention the king, even we are too lazy to govern and occupy them.
Of course, the sea area exceeding one million miles is the territory of other forces, and there must be blessed land and cave heaven areas suitable for cultivation. However, I am only an immortal infant earth immortal, and I mainly move around in the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain, and those places are basically hearsay. "Qu Zhong seemed to have figured out Qin Ziling's thoughts and explained deliberately.
"Have you heard of Jiuxuan Mountain?" Seeing Qu Zhong mentioned other forces, Qin Ziling's heart moved slightly and he asked.
“Jiuxuan Mountain!” Qu Zhong’s body trembled slightly upon hearing this, with a look of awe in his eyes, and he said, “It is said that this is the place where the mountain gate of Jiuxuan Sect, the true overlord of the 90 million li sea area, including our Pingyu Mountain blessed land, is located. Even King Zhu Run has to obey the orders of Jiuxuan Mountain.
I just don't know where Jiuxuan Mountain is exactly, because the sea of 90 million miles is too vast. Even if I fly thousands of miles every day, it will take me 20 to 30 years to fly from east to west. But one thing is certain, Jiuxuan Mountain must be very far away from us, at least tens of millions of miles away."
"The true overlord of the 90 million miles of sea!" Qin Ziling's heart was shocked when he heard this, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face, not knowing whether he should be happy or disappointed and sad.
The more powerful Jiuxuan Mountain is, the more cultivation resources Yinranyue can get, which should be a good thing for Yinranyue.
Qin Ziling naturally hopes that Yinranyue will achieve great success.
But at the same time, the more powerful Jiuxuan Mountain is, the more difficult it will be for him to find Yin Ranyue again, keep his promise and marry her.
"By the way, why did Brother Qu conclude that Jiuxuan Mountain is at least tens of millions of miles away from here?" Qin Ziling quickly put away his complicated feelings and asked.
"A distance of tens of millions of miles is certainly very far for us, but for a True Immortal, it is not too far. If Jiuxuan Mountain is really within a distance of tens of millions of miles, with the strength of Jiuxuan Mountain, there must be no shortage of True Immortals, and there will be some True Immortals traveling to Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land.
Moreover, since Jiuxuan Mountain is the center of the 90 million miles of sea, the islands and land in the sea around it must be places with rich fairy spirit. People who practice on these islands and land must be closer to our Pingyu Mountain, and there should be more people coming and going.
But Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land rarely hears of immortals from other places visiting. Of course, I am of humble status and limited cultivation, so I may not be ignorant. "Qu Zhong explained.
"Friend Qu's analysis is still reasonable. The sea area of 90 million miles is so vast. If the Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land is within the sea area of 10 million miles of Jiuxuan Mountain, it can be regarded as a second-level central area. There must be more news about Jiuxuan Mountain and personnel exchanges. Since there are very few now, it means that the Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land must be separated from the Jiuxuan Mountain by 10 million miles of sea area." Qin Ziling nodded in agreement.
"The Immortal asked about Jiuxuan Mountain. Does he want to go to Jiuxuan Mountain?" Qu Zhong asked.
"I did have this idea originally, but now it seems that Jiuxuan Mountain is out of reach. I have to find a place to settle down in the Pingyu Mountain blessed land area first, and practice in seclusion for a few years. Once my cultivation level is higher, I can make plans." Qin Ziling replied.
