The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

It was just after noon, and the yellow sand on the ground was still hot. In this endless desert, it seemed that everything had lost its vitality. There was no longer a tree in sight, only the rolling sand dunes and the occasional rolled up sand. The violent sand storm, and the invisible bones buried under the sand.

Xiao Chen walked in the desert for three days and three nights. If Yue Manfeng hadn't given him a magnet to guide him before leaving, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't have gotten lost in the yellow sand.

Many times, it doesn't mean you have a high level of cultivation, you can do whatever you want. The world is infinite, and people are like dust blown by the wind. There are endless death deserts like this, and countless cultivators die in them every year.

“Sand—sand—” ❁♦

Xiao Chen was walking on the hot yellow sand when suddenly a strange sound came from a pile of withered grass. Upon closer inspection, he saw that there was a brown rattlesnake about ten feet long hidden in the grass, with a pair of faint green eyes. The terrifying eyes were staring at the uninvited guest not far away.

The one that can survive in such a cruel environment is by no means an ordinary poisonous snake. It seems that it is at least a strange beast with three to four hundred years of experience, and its poison is extremely ferocious.

Every place has taboos, especially in this deserted desert of death. Xiao Chen didn't want to provoke this poisonous snake for nothing, so he chose to avoid it.

Another seven days passed. During these seven days, Xiao Chen walked with his sword during the day, and at night he looked for some higher stone peaks to rest in order to restore his true energy in time. Unknowingly, he had reached the depths of the Desert of Death.

This desert really seems to be endless. The deeper you go, the more you can see the skeletons of some strange creatures. Those skeletons are buried in the sand. Some are more than ten feet long and have dried into fossils. But what are these skeletons? What kind of ancient creatures are they? Xiao Chen had seen nothing and heard nothing.

The further he walked deeper into the desert, the more lifeless it felt, like a lost world, like a place abandoned by the gods in ancient times.

How could there be such an endless, lifeless desert here?

Regarding the records of the ancient land of Xianyuan, the ancient books he had seen in Xuanqing Gate could only be traced back to thousands of years ago.

At that time, demons were rampant in the world, and the gods from the three realms and heavens enslaved the mortals. Later, the mortals rose up to resist under the leadership of the Qing Emperor, and then the Qing Emperor passed down the cultivation methods to the world... There are only so many.

But, tens of thousands of years ago, even tens of thousands of years ago, hundreds of thousands of years ago, at that time, was it true that there had never been a cultivator in the world?

Or has everything been annihilated with the end of an era? Just like this endless desert at this moment, how many unknown pasts are buried?

It was as if all the prosperous civilizations had been annihilated. Countless men who had reached the peak of their powers and possessed all-powerful powers also fell. It was an era when immortals and gods perished. Everything turned into wind and sand, leaving nothing behind for future generations.

At dusk, Xiao Chen was walking in the dusk desert. At this moment, he didn't know why he had so many strange thoughts in his mind. He just felt that the world he knew in the past was too small, and it was just the tip of the iceberg.

Just like he had never known before, there was such an endless desert outside the Five Immortal Realms. He didn't know that through this desert, there was a place as prosperous as the Five Immortal Realms.

Just when he was in a trance, behind the undulating sand dunes in the distance, there suddenly came a vague breath. Although this breath was hidden very deeply, under his current consciousness, no matter how weak the breath was, it could not be detected. Escape.

"Is there anyone?"

Xiao Chen's expression immediately condensed. He had been in this desert of death for ten days. Apart from the sky full of yellow sand, he encountered skeletons buried in the sand and poisonous snakes and ants in the withered grass. He had never seen a living person. . But the feeling he felt at that moment was definitely a cultivator, and he was a person with a high level of cultivation.

The next moment, he immediately covered up his aura, moved a step, and hid behind a stone peak. The aura he sensed just now was from a person with a high level of cultivation and a large number of people. Before he was sure whether we were the enemy or not, he must not Let the other party also discover his aura.

After hiding behind the rock for about half a stick of incense, he saw ten more figures suddenly appearing on the rolling sand dunes in the distance. It was just that the distance was too far, so he couldn't see clearly who they were, and he didn't dare to rush there. Use your spiritual sense to explore and just wait for those people to approach.

After half a stick of incense, those people finally came closer. Under the wind and sand, there were ten people wearing robes like him. Presumably it was not to block the wind and sand in the desert, but to hide their identity.

Among the ten people, there were four old men, one old woman, three men, and two women.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder, who are these people? What are you doing in this desert of death? No, judging from their appearance and the direction they came from, could it be that these people are not people from the Five Realms of Immortality, but people from the Northern Continent that the Rakshasa heroine mentioned?

If these people are coming from that way, does it mean that they are almost passing through this desert of death? But if these people walked for a month to get here, would they have to walk for another month?

At the moment, he could only continue to watch carefully to see what these people were doing here.

When the ten people came closer, the old woman suddenly stopped and said to herself with a little doubt, "Should it be...here?"

The other nine people also stopped and looked carefully at the undulating tracks of the nearby sand dunes.

At this moment, an old man suddenly raised his hand, making everyone alert. Then he said to a man behind him, "Give me the thing."

The man didn't say anything, and immediately took out something from his sleeve and handed it to him. The thing looked like an ancient compass with directions and pointers engraved on it.

The old man took the compass in his hand, put his two fingers together, and injected spiritual power into it. He saw that the pointer on it immediately started spinning rapidly, as if it couldn't stop.

The people nearby, especially the old woman and the two women, all had incredible expressions on their faces at this moment. They stared at the compass closely, and the sweat on their foreheads slowly dripped down their cheeks.

"Certainly!"

The old man injected another spiritual power into the compass, and the pointer on it finally stopped.

"Qian lives in the south, Kun lives in the north..."

I saw the old man talking to himself and not knowing what he was talking about. After a while, he smiled excitedly on his face, "It's here! It's here! I found it, I finally found it!"

The old man was so excited that his hands could not help trembling, and the other people also became excited. Looking at the yellow sand on the ground, it was as if ordinary people saw gold on the ground, and they just wanted to turn this desert over.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was hiding behind a stone peak in the distance, seeing this scene clearly, thinking that these ten people were of high cultivation and had mysterious origins. What on earth were they looking for?

He couldn't help but feel a little curious. Could it be that there was an ancient ruin hidden under this endless desert of death?
