Chapter 417: Suspended Peaks and Floating Islands, The Cave Heaven is Vast, There Are No Rules
Stepping into the Bagua mysterious light, Qian Chen could sense that he had been transferred to another location through a mysterious movement array via the jade well.
"This feeling of spatial movement, why is it a bit like the Lord of Reincarnation's teleportation?"
Qian Chen carefully experienced the fluctuations of the space around him. An invisible power that could not be seen or touched spread out in layers, like fine ripples caused by a stone on the water surface.
It was just that this ripple was a distortion on the spatial scale, with a hint of the mystery of shrinking the earth into an inch, turning a thousand-li courtyard into a pocket-sized miniature. To be precise, it was like a stone hitting the water, the ripples spreading in all directions, while the water surface in contact with the stone curled inward, finally wrapping the air to form an air sac.
It was just that the 'water surface' that their stone hit was space.
Therefore, the space sac formed was also a space sac.
This space sac that wrapped them did not float to the water surface like a bubble, but continued to drill into the deep layer of space.
"This means of movement uses the method of shrinking the earth into an inch to curl the space inward, and then uses means similar to two-world separation and the Buddha Kingdom in the palm to form a space sac. Finally, it 'squeezes' the space sac toward the orientation positioned by the Bagua calculation."
"It looks similar to the Lord of Reincarnation's teleportation, but the Lord of Reincarnation's means are far more profound. And the scale of movement is not a cave heaven attached to the main world, but the heavens and worlds, all time and space, a scale that is unimaginably large."
"This place only used the great divine ability of shrinking the earth into an inch and pocket-sized miniature, while the Lord of Reincarnation's means, besides the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch, used at least the transformation light escape method of the Dao Sect's vertical ground golden light, the heart light great escape of the Buddha Sect's heart-thought-arrival, positioning anchor points with the starry sky of the Heavenly Realm, coming and going freely in the long river of time, and besides that, used many means I cannot name, to turn the reincarnator into spiritual light, send them into the long river of time, stagnate the changes of time and space, and enter the corresponding great world nodes."
"I can still see some fur of these, but the location of the Reincarnation Land is extremely mysterious, as if the distance to all worlds and all time in the heavens is the same!"
"There is a hint of 'three feet above the head is reincarnation'!"
Qian Chen's spiritual sense extended in all directions like tentacles, probing the changes in space-time at this moment, while simultaneously deep in thought: "The elevator the Fangshi built to reach the secret realm has a faint, vague similarity to the methods of the Lord of Samsara. Is this the 'different paths leading to the same destination' of spatial teleportation techniques reaching an extremely high level, or... do they originate from the same source? The Land of Samsara connects countless space-times; could it be that a few great Fangshi also once entered the Land of Samsara and perhaps gained something from there?"
Qian Chen's thoughts flashed by, and suddenly, he sensed that the fragile space sac had merged into a huge stable space.
If the previous space sac was a bubble floating in time and space, likely to break at any time, then this space was a glass cup that the bubble was put into for preservation, just like Qian Chen, when he was naughty in his previous life, spat a bubble into a cup in a water basin to save it.
The space sac was sealed into a stable shell, so it could withstand more violent changes and fluctuations.
The insights, doubts, and discoveries just now were all in his single thought, not even a blink of an eye. Wang Longxiang beside him didn't notice the abnormality of Qian Chen at this moment. Only when they came back to their senses did they realize that in this instant, everything around them had changed.
Everyone appeared on a huge stone platform, paved with white jade under their feet.
The stone platform was round, like a sacrificial altar for heaven.
Qian Chen found it even more familiar and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Isn't this the Void Cloud Platform of the Land of Samsara? It's confirmed! These sorcerers definitely entered the Land of Samsara..."
At this time, outside the Void Cloud Platform, chaotic-colored storms mixed with countless tiny spatial fragments attacked. Those spatial fragments, like tiny glass shards, were brought up by the storm and polished in the void. Fortunately, the mysterious light maintained by the cloud platform was stable and did not shake at all.
The stone platform under their feet was pulled by the purple copper chain in the void, sliding toward a mysterious location.
"What a powerful void storm, mixed with so many spatial fragments, even if Yin Spirit Venerables used magic treasures to protect themselves, they might not be safe! How did the aristocratic families bring a group of juniors to the Jin Ling cave heaven before?"
Qian Chen was secretly shocked. He didn't believe that those aristocratic families also had such means.
Observing the expressions of the noble family members around him, he indeed discovered that several True Persons all revealed strange looks, and as they watched this scene, they all seemed somewhat shocked and uncertain.
After a few breaths, the Void Cloud Platform broke into a vast and thick boundary membrane. The stone platform under their feet shook slightly, and a heavy spiritual energy mixed with thick water vapor rushed toward them, slightly dampening everyone's clothes.
Clatter!
The huge sound of water entered everyone's ears, and the clear water color entered their eyes. Then the cloud platform broke through the water surface, floating up from a big river, and behind it was a huge waterfall flying straight down like a torrent.
The rich Heaven and Earth spiritual energy made everyone feel refreshed, and all the acupoints in their bodies were greedily breathing and exhaling the clear spiritual Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
Everyone was intoxicated for a moment before they had time to look around, and this look made many people stunned.
Looking into the distance, the four fields of the universe were incomparably vast. Towering mountain peaks stood on all sides, and undulating mountain ranges stretched far away. Just by looking, the extreme distance of the eyes was more than a million li. In contrast, the Flat Lake Blessed Land Qian Chen opened in the Reincarnation Land was simply a narrow thatched cottage.
Just the size of this cave heaven was not inferior to some slightly smaller great worlds.
And above everyone's heads, one by one, inverted, normal peaks and mountain ranges floated in mid-air. On them, like heavenly palaces, one after another grand buildings were built. These mountain peaks rotated slowly according to the trajectory of the stars and the veins of the earth's magnetic earth veins.
Some mountain peaks were incomparably huge, truly like mountain peaks, and even from a distance of hundreds of thousands of li, one could see clear outlines, just like a suspended island; some were only a few huge rocks, and from a slightly further distance, they were like dust.
The distance between the suspended mountains was also large and small. In dense places, many mountain peaks were tightly squeezed together, connected by sky bridges, sky rivers, and plant vines. In places further away, it was like a sky sea, and between the blue sky, two small isolated islands were separated by hundreds of thousands of li, performing another vast and vicissitudinous scene between heaven and earth.
The Void Cloud Platform under everyone's feet was built on an inverted peak.
Above the nine heavens, another larger inverted peak dropped a silver ribbon.
This ribbon became thicker and thicker as it approached the inverted peak where they were, and finally turned into a torrent like a sky river, crashing down, forming the huge waterfall behind them.
Looking up, the deep blue sky served as a background, setting off those floating suspended mountains and islands. The clouds were scattered, and the heavenly palaces floating on them further set off this place like a fairyland. In the splashing water vapor, a five-colored halo enveloped everyone, making it even more dreamlike.
Looking at these suspended mountain islands like immortal traces, the True Persons couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.
"This time, the Dao Academy's means of opening the Jin Ling cave heaven actually sent us to a suspended peak! Originally, these suspended peaks each had seals and could not be easily approached. Our aristocratic families racked their brains, but couldn't climb a few..."
True Person Gu said with slight excitement: "Can True Person Zhou calculate where we are now?"
True Person Zhou Yin nodded slightly, used the means on the Yan Tian Book, corresponded the trajectory of the stars in the sky with the records of predecessors, and calculated for a while before raising his head and saying: "This place is two hundred thousand li southeast of the Wuyan Sea where we originally entered. It is the Star Luo Sea where the suspended peaks are most dense. Sure enough, we have gone deeper into the cave heaven!"
Qian Chen scanned his surroundings. The suspended peak they were on was neither big nor small. The mountain body was about a thousand zhang high, and the twenty-li radius was lush with trees. By the sky river where the stone platform was located, there were many strange-shaped rocks and vigorous ancient trees. Old vines as thick as water buckets coiled like horned dragons, and many spiritual medicines and immortal mushrooms were dotted around, many of which were very precious varieties in the Central Lands.
The Ear-Dao Spirit had already quietly slipped away, not knowing where it had gone to hunt for treasure, while Fu Youzi of Luo Fu stared at those spirit herbs, his eyes turning red and his mouth watering.
True Person Zhu glanced at him with disdain.
"A suspended mountain that has had no human traces for ten thousand years, and the spiritual energy is more abundant than the few we aristocratic families have explored before. The spiritual medicines on it are a considerable wealth, and we can open up spiritual fields and harvest them every hundred years! According to the agreement of each family, such newly discovered suspended peaks should be divided into areas by each family for exploration. Except for the Fangxian Dao and ancient relics which should be explored together, otherwise, one cannot harvest the spiritual materials in other people's areas!" True Person Zhu said.
"According to the precedent... my Sima family occupies eleven!" Sima Yue flew up from the copper palace, pointed his finger, and circled dozens of li of the most abundant spiritual energy area.
"What precedent?" Qian Chen raised his head and laughed: "Why don't I know?"
A look of anger appeared on Sima Yue's face, but he still suppressed his anger and said coldly: "The Jin Ling cave heaven is the foundation of the Great Jin and the gathering place of dragon veins. It was originally my Sima family's. Whatever is obtained from it, no matter what it is, has a share of my Sima clan. It is the Emperor's grace that you are allowed to enter the cave heaven. Do not seek things that do not belong to you!"
"Belong to you?" Qian Chen laughed: "Call it, and see if it answers?"
"The Sima clan is very arrogant! You can't even climb the suspended mountain islands built by Fangshi, yet you dare to say they are yours!"
"Presumptuous!" The Sima family's offering flashed a hint of greed in his eyes, gave a wink to the True Persons of the aristocratic families, flew up and said: "Under the whole heaven, is it not the king's land..."
Qian Chen interrupted him: "Go talk to Northern Wei about this, or talk to the many Immortal Sects, and even the Three Pure Ones Dao lineage! See if their mountain gates and cave heavens are willing to acknowledge your 'king's land'..."
"The Jin Ling cave heaven is a relic discovered by the Great Jin and the Dao Academy. Since you are allowed to come here, you must abide by our rules!" The royal offering said reasonably: "Previously, the development of the Jin Ling cave heaven was contributed to by all aristocratic families. According to the contribution of each time climbing a new suspended peak, the Dao Academy presides over the division of territory. But no matter what, the imperial court must occupy one-tenth, the Dao Academy occupies four-tenths, and the remaining aristocratic families are divided according to the rank of the aristocratic clan and how much they contributed!"
"You loose cultivators and Immortal Sects, being allowed to come here is already a great blessing, how dare you covet things that are not your own?"
True Person Zhu also flicked his sleeves and said: "Li Taibai... don't you abide by the rules? Seeing that you loose cultivators are also hard-working, and it's not good to return empty-handed, we will divide a portion for you loose cultivators and Immortal Sects. Allow you one-tenth of the suspended mountain territory, free to explore..."
Fu Youzi said angrily upon hearing this: "The Jin Ling Secret Realm has long been ownerless; by what right is it occupied by you?"
"There are so many suspended peaks in the sky, why don't you go up and try!"
"Without us, could you have entered this place?" True Person Zhu glared at Fu Youzi, a powerful pressure of a Yin Spirit Venerable bearing down on him.
The sloppy elder of Luo Fu Mountain laughed and blocked in front of the little chubby boy, lightly resolving the pressure, and said: "True Person Zhu, don't have such a big temper! I think what my child said also makes sense. The Jin Ling cave heaven is a gift from heaven, not the property of one family or one surname, so it should be based on fate!"
True Person Xiao frowned and said: "Without rules, there is no square. The so-called fate, isn't it just letting people grab?"
"I don't recognize the rules formulated by a group of you!" Qian Chen stretched his arms slightly and laughed: "And don't forget, being able to enter this place is the result of Wang Zhiyuan of the Dao Academy studying for decades. This Dao gate is not opened by you..."
He pointed to the phantom of the golden bell appearing on his fingertips, which was the token Wang Zhiyuan gave him: "Entrusted by him, I came in to find some things. If anyone thinks that a group of people making some rules can restrain me."
Qian Chen flipped his palm, the phantom of the golden bell disappeared, but a piece of crisp bamboo leaf floated in his palm, like a sword, pointing straight at the crowd: "Then ask my sword!"
"Li Taibai, do you think I'm afraid of you!" True Person Zhu raised the Mountain and River Image Ding and said angrily.
But his mouth shouted loudly, but his hands did not strike directly.
Sima Yue scanned, feeling that except for Xie An representing the Xie family, who was not easy to strike, other aristocratic family True Persons should all stand on their side. Then their side had nine True Persons, while Li Taibai's side only had him alone. Other Immortal Sect Yin Spirits might support him, but they might not be willing to strike for him. Liu Yu was a student of the Xie family. Except for a sloppy elder of Luo Fu, who might stand on Qian Chen's side, the aristocratic family royal side still occupied the general trend.
"Can strike!"
Sima Yue's thought flashed through his mind. ===== CHAPTER 418 =====
