At the mouth of Guanjiang River, there is a vast fog barrier of ten thousand miles and an endless void ocean. Even immortals and gods who enter this place will be frightened and their souls will perish.
The mountain is only three thousand miles in circumference, but once you pass the boundary marker and enter Guanjiangkou, the fog is shrouded in fog that stretches for a hundred thousand miles, as if it is a place where rivers and seas are surging, or the entrance to the ocean.
"Master, the fog here is extraordinary."
When they entered Guanjiangkou, there was no light in the sky. They had no idea how much time had passed or how long they had been walking. Gradually, Di Jun and Tai Yi realized something was wrong.
The fog here seems to have an almost corrosive power on the void. Layers of void are constantly broken and reorganized in the diffuse fog, so that the entire space is like an ever-changing maze.
In other words, even if you choose the right path, it may become a dead end the next moment.
The most important thing is that the fog that permeates the surroundings not only has a corrosive effect on the void, but also on flesh and blood creatures.
Those wisps of mist are pervasive, destroying and reorganizing the smallest structures, and can even affect the soul.
Di Jun and Tai Yi were fine. After all, they had profound cultivation and had just devoured the essence of Jiuyang Tianzun and Yinghuo Tianzun. They were not one step away from becoming immortals.
The mist had little effect on them, but was extremely deadly to the Three Sky.
hum...
Fortunately, she had the [Ice Prison Armor] bestowed by Li Mo. The azure light was like a layer of frost, clinging to the surface of her body, showing an extremely graceful curve, resisting the strange fog surging around her.
This made her feel better.
"Of course this fog is not ordinary, otherwise Guanjiangkou would not be called a Jedi." Li Mo said lightly.
"Guanjiangkou is known as a desolate place, but we haven't seen any corpses or bones along the way..." Taiyi couldn't help but say.
Guanjiangkou has existed for countless years. Throughout the ages, many powerful cultivators have gone deep into it, wanting to explore the mysteries of this place, but many people have never come out after entering. Logically speaking, there should be mountains of bones here.
"Because the corpses of those people have been melted by the surrounding mist." Di Jun said indifferently and calmly.
As soon as these words came out, Sanxiao beside him couldn't help but shudder.
Li Mo looked at Sanxiao, whose face was pale, and chuckled, "Stay with me, and within ten steps, the mist will not be able to affect you."
"Yes, Master!"
Sanxiao held onto the corner of Li Mo's clothes and followed behind him like a little tail, fearing that if he was a step slower, he would be turned into ashes by the surrounding mist.
"Master, look..."
After a moment, Taiyi suddenly spoke, pointing to a place not far away where mist was swirling and entangled with a pile of white substance. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a skeleton.
The skeleton was like a small mountain, with six pairs of wings behind it, and eight tentacles growing on its huge head, glowing red...
Obviously, this is not an ordinary human creature.
In fact, the forbidden land of the Divine Sect is vast and endless. Such a world has bred countless strange creatures. In addition to flesh and blood life like humans and monsters, everything from dust and soil to stars and light can be transformed into living beings.
Although the strange skeleton in front of him was dead, there was still a ball of fire like magma jumping on his chest, which was extremely magical.
The most important thing is that even under the erosion of the strange fog, this pile of bones has not disappeared. Instead, it seems as if it has been polished, and has developed a patina, with a crystal clear luster.
"This is a lava monster..." Li Mo raised his eyes.
Previously, he had obtained a lot of information about the forbidden areas of the Divine Sect and various tribes from Bai Linglong of the Mi Jue lineage, so he was able to identify it from the characteristics of the skeleton.
The lava beast is a strange creature born from volcanic magma.
This kind of creature has reached the state of true breath as soon as it is born, and can enter the ranks of enlightened people when it reaches adulthood.
Judging from the eight tentacles on its head, the giant lava beast in front of us should have reached the realm of True Dao.
"The fog here is only effective for those below the True Dao Realm." Li Mo whispered in a low voice.
Anyone below the level of enlightened being who enters here will surely die.
Once you enter the Void Dao Realm, you will be in danger of death, and your bones will be completely dissolved and become part of the strange mist.
Only by entering the realm of true Tao can one resist the erosion of the strange fog, but there is still a risk of getting lost, and the soul will still be affected to a certain extent.
Only those who have reached the state of harmony with the Dao can remain unaffected.
Because of this, although the lava monster died here, his bones were not dissolved by the strange mist.
in other words……
"It was killed." Di Jun said calmly.
Either he was killed here by other masters who entered Guanjiangkou, or there were other dangers hidden in this endless fog.
call……
With a wave of his hand, Li Mo collected the skeleton of the giant lava beast in the True Dao Realm into the inner world.
If skeletons of this quality existed in the mortal world, they would be enough to forge divine weapons, or at least divine weapons of the same quality as Beisha Xuanjiang's [Immortal Coffin].
A first-grade divine weapon would cost at least 100,000 crystals in many large cities in the Divine Sect’s forbidden area.
You know, even if you are a strong man in the Hedao realm, even if you don't eat or drink and don't sleep, you can only extract twenty Yuan Crystals from the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth every day.
At the beginning, the magic weapons forged by the eight great demon immortals in the world were almost all low-grade magic weapons, such as the [True Dragon Horn] of the East China Sea Dragon King, the [Ancient Buddha Tower] of the Buddha Tower Master, the [Great Light Palace] of the Southern Ming Li Emperor, and so on.
The market price of these inferior magic weapons generally ranges from 100,000 to 300,000 crystals.
Only the [Sword of Immortality] of the White-Robed Sword Immortal has reached the quality of a mid-grade magic weapon. Apart from that, the [Eye of the Future] among the ten great magic weapons of Guixu is also a mid-grade magic weapon, and its estimated value should start from one million crystals.
Going further up are the top-grade magical weapons, such as the [Central Void Great Dharma Realm], which is a combination of the ten great magical weapons of Guixu.
Top-grade divine weapons are extremely rare, and forging them takes a lot of time and effort.
Back then, Han Qi, the first leader of Lingmen, plundered most of the treasures that Shenzong had taken out from the forbidden area, defected to Guixu, and from then on stayed indoors and worked hard to refine the ten magical weapons, which were continuously improved by later generations.
Because of this, a top-grade divine weapon would start at a minimum of 10 million crystals in the Divine Sect's forbidden area, and it could be said to be priceless.
As for the king of divine weapons like [Qingping Sword], [Zhuzhao Mountain], and [Huanluan Star], even the immortals are flocking to them, and their value cannot be measured by Yuanjing.
The skeleton of the lava beast that Li Mo obtained was the material for forging inferior divine weapons, and was worth only two to three thousand yuan crystals.
His family is large and powerful, and the Jiejiao has been established. If he wants to gain a foothold in the forbidden area of the Shenzong, the more resources the better. Although a fly is small, it is also meat.
"Let's go."
Li Mo stood up and continued to go deeper with Di Jun, Tai Yi and San Xiao.
Not long after, another pile of bones appeared before their eyes, and this one was extremely different.
The pile of bones was completely black with a golden and stone-like luster. The core was a sphere, and the rest of the bones surrounded the pitch-black sphere, suspended in the air. The milky white mist could not even get close as it twisted and deformed around it.
"Black Stone Monster!" Li Mo recognized it at a glance.
This is a strange creature born in the Coal Mountain in the Eastern Region. In terms of growth rate and potential, it is almost the same as the lava monster.
However, the Black Stone Monsters are even rarer. When they are born, they are a jet stone fetus. After hatching, they look exactly like humans.
However, their skeletons are invaluable treasures, of much higher quality than those of lava beasts, and can be used to refine mid-grade divine weapons.
If this pile of bones were taken to a big city like [Chun Yang City], it would be estimated to be worth 50,000 to 60,000 crystals.
"Take it."
Li Mo did not hesitate to put the skeleton of the black stone monster into his inner world.
As he went deeper, he encountered more and more skeletons. In half a day, Li Mo had picked up more than a dozen piles of bones. Counting the treasures carried by these creatures, the total value exceeded one million crystals.
"No wonder they say the greater the risk, the greater the reward... Although Guanjiangkou is dangerous, you can make a fortune just by picking up scraps."
Taiyi couldn't help but said.
One million Yuan crystals, the entire wealth of a weaker Hedao realm cultivator is probably just this amount.Just like the Prison Armor King he met in Chunyang City before, after Li Mo killed him, he found the [Ice Prison Armor] on his body, which was a mid-grade magic weapon. It almost consumed the Prison Armor King's savings of many years, but in the end it was given to Sanxiao for nothing.
"That's because the master has extraordinary means." Di Jun said in a deep voice.
Ordinary people do not have the strength like Li Mo. Even if they can resist the erosion of the strange fog, they will still be lost in the void.
What's more, there are unknown dangers hidden here.
Roar……
At this moment, a horrifying roar came from the vast fog, shaking the void.
The strange fog around was surging wildly, all heading towards the same place.
"This is……"
Di Jun and Tai Yi's expressions suddenly changed, and the Three Sky even hid behind Li Mo.
Just this roar made them feel extremely uneasy.
"Stay behind me."
Li Mo whispered and looked up. In the corrosive void, a strange monster slowly walked out. Its body was milky white, as if condensed from strange mist. Its scarlet eyes stared at Li Mo and his party. Its huge tail shook gently, causing the void to boil.
"Swamp beast!" Li Mo looked at the creature in front of him curiously.
He had seen relevant records about the [Swamp Beast] in the information provided by Bai Linglong.
These are strange beasts bred by the strange fog that absorbed the essence of the corpses of living creatures. They are naturally adapted to the environment here, and are even immune to most physical attacks, and are friendly to the void.
Because of this, swamp beasts are extremely difficult to hunt.
Roar……
The milky white swamp beast let out a startled roar, and the surrounding void collapsed. The strange mist rushed towards Li Mo and others like a part of his body.
Here, the swamp beasts are almost invincible and nearly immortal.
call……
Li Mo waved his hand, creating a gust of wind, and the terrifying swamp beast suddenly collapsed. Its powerful body turned into wisps of mist and dissipated in the void.
"Master is truly invincible." There were golden stars in Sanxiao's eyes.
call……
The next moment, the wisps of drifting mist gathered together again and transformed into a new swamp beast, but its body was smaller than before.
"It's really immune..." Li Moqi said.
The strange fog is extremely deadly to ordinary creatures, but to swamp beasts, it is the source of life. It can continuously draw strength from the strange fog.
Roar……
Although the swamp beast had no intelligence, it felt fear instinctively when it looked at Li Mo. It knew that the man in front of it was extremely terrifying and was definitely not someone it could afford to provoke.
The next moment, the swamp beast merged into the void, leaving no trace and escaping from here.
"Since you are here, then stay."
Li Mo whispered, and the void within a hundred miles was shaking, and endless strange fog was boiling at this moment.
Such a huge momentum made Di Jun, Tai Yi and others feel endless fear.
Just a hint of breath made them feel insignificant and desperate.
They looked up to the great mountains and at this moment, the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi could vaguely see how powerful Li Mo was and how supreme he was.
"Master... he seems to be even more terrifying than when he was in Zhuzhao Mountain."
"The divine power is invincible, and the inner power is as vast as the heaven and earth..."
Different thoughts arose in Di Jun and Tai Yi's minds.
Rumble…
The next moment, wherever Li Mo's eyes went, the void collapsed and a terrifying and painful roar was heard.
When everyone looked over, they saw that the swamp beast that had been so arrogant just now had become extremely transparent. Then, as the void collapsed, it turned into a crystal clear bead with milky white liquid boiling inside.
"Come!!!"
Li Mo waved his hand and the bead fell into his hand.
"Master, what is this?" Sanxiao asked curiously.
"This is a treasure made from the essence of swamp beasts, let's call it [Swamp Mist Pearl]..." Li Mo said lightly.
"Master, what is the use of this treasure?"
"Those who are at the Hedao realm and below ten calamities will die if they are touched."
When these words were spoken, Di Jun and Tai Yi were moved.
In the Hedao realm, one is not subject to the 500-year life and death limit, but must go through tribulations every 300 years. Every time one goes through a tribulation, one becomes stronger.
A strong man who has ten tribulations is enough to stand out even in the Hedao realm. If it were in the past, such an existence would be someone that Di Jun and Tai Yi looked up to.
Now, with just this one bead, he could actually kill at will! ?"I'll keep it for you." Li Mo chuckled and casually gave the [Swamp Mist Pearl] to Sanxiao.
To him, it was just a trifle.
Of course, even if it is a small gadget, it would be a very scary treasure if placed outside, and its value might be higher than the total value of all the skeletons obtained.
This also shows Li Mo's preference for this little disciple.
"Let's go, we're almost at the end." Li Mo whispered.
They walked forward, and after a while, the scenery ahead changed. The white fog retreated, and a yellowish-brown fog filled the air. The terrifying pressure created a boundary between the white fog and the fog, making it clearly distinct.
"There is actually yellow fog?" Di Jun asked in a serious tone.
“This yellow fog is even more terrifying. Anyone in the Hedao realm will be turned into blood and blood if it is contaminated.” Li Mo said lightly.
The information provided by Bai Linglong said that there was red fog in the desperate situation of Guanjiangkou, which was truly terrifying and could even threaten the immortals.
The only difference is that the red mist is much rarer, and like a ghost, it is constantly moving.
It is said that Guanjiangkou was once an ancient battlefield where ancient immortals and gods fought a great battle, and the mist was formed from the blood of the dead.
"Follow me."
Li Mo waved his hand to protect Di Jun, Tai Yi and San Xiao, and crossed the yellow mist with his physical body.
He took a step forward and there was layer upon layer of void. After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the end of the yellow mist.
At the deepest part of Guanjiangkou, a dilapidated ancient temple appeared before everyone.
This temple seems to have been abandoned by time and exiled by heaven and earth.
Rumble…
At this moment, a huge light and shadow appeared in the sky above the dilapidated temple. It looked like a strange weapon, a three-pointed, two-edged sword...
"Three-pointed, double-edged sword!" Li Mo looked at him leisurely and whispered in a low voice.
