Chapter 80 Plan ahead
Sometimes, rumors are not groundless.

Now that there are rumors about this matter, there must be a reason for it.

The beast tide has always been the heart disease of the cultivation world in the southern region. The ancient chaos in the southern region would end early. The main reason was a beast tide called "the beast chaos at the end of the era".

The wave of beasts spread widely, covering almost the entire territory of the Southern Territory.

There are countless sect families that were destroyed in the turmoil, which is why Taihua was able to gain a firm foothold quickly when it crossed to the east.After all, at this time, there were very few opposition forces in the Southern Region.

The southern region where Mo Chen is currently located is only a small piece of land at the southern end of Dongzhou.

Crossing the Tianxuan Mountains to the north, and going all the way forward through hardships, can reach the Great Wilderness where it is difficult for monks to gain a foothold.

The Great Wilderness has a vast territory, which is more than several times that of the Southern Territory.

The climate there is extremely harsh, extremely humid and hot, even monks cannot stay for long, let alone mortals with fragile bodies.Therefore, even after a long period of time, after the three eras of ancient times, middle ages and modern times, the human race has never been able to turn the wilderness into a livable place like the Southern Region.

Therefore, the Great Wilderness can be called a paradise for monsters and beasts.

Once the beast tide occurs again, the entire southern region will be in danger.

Especially Wuyue and Wuyue, which bear the brunt, are located at the east and west ends of the Tianxuan Mountains, adjacent to the Great Wilderness. They have no danger to defend against the beast tide, and they are almost destined to be destroyed.

Once the beast tide breaks through the two lines of defense, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe of devastation.

At that time, whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, it will become a delicious meal for monsters, especially the latter, which is rich in aura in the body, which is even more rare than the elixir.

Fortunately, the southern region still has the natural danger of the Tianxuan Mountains.

The main vein of the Tianxuan Mountains is extremely steep, and the ridge is swept by the nine-day wind all year round. Even Jindan cultivators cannot cross it. If they want to pass through, they can only go through those mountain passes or pass through the five major passes.

The Five Great Passes are the section where the main vein of the Tianxuan Mountains submerges into the ground. It is the easiest and most convenient section to pass through the Tianxuan Mountains. In such an important place, the monks of the Southern Regions have already built five great passes there, which can prevent the tide of beasts from going south. .With these heavily guarded gates, the southern region has been able to develop with peace of mind over the years.

There are very detailed records in the classics about these five grand passes.

From west to east, they are the Zhenhaiguan where the Fenghua Palace of the Chu State is stationed, the Tiandi Bridge built at the Fengteng Changxia, and then the Taihuazong Mountain Gate is located, which is also the largest of all the passes——Tianxuan Fortress.

In addition, there is the Demon Killing City belonging to the Hao Shengzong of Qin State, and the Sighing Sea Cliff guarded by Yaoyang Valley of Qi State.

The above five major passes are the main passages from the Great Wilderness to the Southern Territory. The rest of the mountain passes or trails are either narrow and difficult to navigate, or the terrain is extremely steep and cannot accommodate a large number of monsters.

Even if a small group of monsters crossed the Tianxuan Mountains, they would not be able to cause damage to the Southern Region after losing their superiority in numbers. Therefore, the Southern Region Sect only set up guard posts in these places to prevent a warning.

With Wuxiongguan in front, monks in the southern regions can basically have no worries.

It's just that Wuxiongguan has not been breached before, and every time it will cause a catastrophe, and even affect the rise and fall of the sect in the southern region.From west to east, Zhenhaiguan was breached eight times in total, and Tiandiqiao Bridge was breached three times. Demon Killing City and Sighing Sea Cliff were no exception. Even the largest Tianxuan Fortress was breached during the beast chaos at the end of the era. been breached.

Thinking of this, Mo Chen frowned, and suddenly felt restless in his heart.

Looking at Liu Yan at the side, the two women's complexions are not very good-looking at this time, Liu Yan's eyebrows are slightly frowned at this time, and Liu Yan also has a sad expression.

Facing such a crisis, even if he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he still cannot guarantee his own safety.

For a while, the cave was completely quiet.

After a while, Mo Chen broke the heavy scene, and said in a concentrated voice: "Whether it's a rumor or the truth, it will be confirmed after a while, and the Wu and Yue countries will definitely respond first. Worrying is unfounded here, it is better to plan ahead and be prepared first."

Liu Yan came out of the negative emotions at this time. She naturally had some considerations in her mind about how to deal with the possible beast horde. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, she bid farewell.

……

On the ground fire pool.

A small group of golden flames flickered, it was Mo Chen's shining flame, which was now swallowing up the surging earth fire, turning it into nutrients continuously, and his spirituality was increasing day by day.

After observing for a while, Mo Chen nodded in satisfaction, thinking that his fire pool was not built in vain.

Going to the flames of Yaoyang, he used the fire control formula and played a few formulas. He controlled the control circle of the ground fire pool, and gathered the rising ground fire into a line of fire.In this way, the firepower will be more concentrated, and at the same time, the overflowing ground fire will be reduced.

Not forgetting to replace the formation center with a new mid-grade spirit stone, Mo Chen then exited the ground fire room.

After hearing the rumors of the beast horde from Liu Yan earlier, he was still frightened for a while at first, desperately drawing talismans to make alchemy, trying to be as prepared as possible.After all, the records about the beast tide in the classics are too bloody and terrifying.

It was only later that Mo Chen searched all the classics and gained a deeper understanding of the beast tide.

Every time there is a chaos in the southern region, it will last at least a hundred years.

After such a long period of time, the Southern Territory has already summed up the early rules of the arrival of the beast tide, which can be roughly divided into three stages.

During the brewing stage, an event that could trigger a beast swarm occurred in the wilderness, and the prototype of the beast swarm began to take shape, and continued until it could attract the attention of the monks in the southern region, forming various rumors, and finally attracted the investigation of the southern region sect; In the expansion stage, after the beast horde has been verified, a consensus has gradually been formed in the cultivation world in the Southern Region, and preparations and mobilization for it have begun; in the role stage, the wild beast horde has formed, completed the assembly process, and officially began to attack the seven countries in the Southern Region.

Only after these three stages, is the time for the real beast tide to come.

Therefore, it is useless to be anxious, and no one can be sure that the beast horde is about to happen until the exact investigation results are obtained.

There are similar rumors every year, but this time the scale of the spread is particularly large, so it causes panic. However, there have been rumors bigger than this before, so many incidents have arisen, but they were falsified in the end.

Knowing this, Mo Chen decided to retreat for a while.When he comes out of closed-door training, the Taihua Sect must have the results of the investigation on the rumors about the beast tide, and it won't be too late to make a decision by then.

During this period of time, a lot of mature second-order golden thread peaches have accumulated, which are suitable for him to take during retreat.

When the cultivation base is improved, maybe those few spirit talismans will have enough proficiency after practicing in leisure time, and then a second-order talisman can be condensed.

As for retaining his cultivation and making a quick breakthrough, Mo Chen has no such plans yet.

After all, he doesn't have a suitable auxiliary alchemy spiritual object now. Even if he quickly breaks through to the Great Consummation of the Foundation Establishment Stage, if he doesn't have enough self-protection power, once he goes out to fight with others, he will end up in a disastrous defeat in all likelihood.

It would be better to condense a few more talisman species, which will have the effect of stabilizing the foundation.
