Yunmeng Peak

Chapter 3 Yunmeng Mountain (seeking investment and collection)
During the flight of the paper crane, Cheng Yuanliang explained to the two children that the seniority of the Cheng family can only be possessed by entering the clan land and becoming an immortal cultivator, and this is why he is called the 21st Lord.

Cheng Yuanliang touched the heads of the two curious children, and replied patiently with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Silly boy, this is not a fairyland, this is a spiritual mountain, but the environment is unique, and the mountain for cultivation below is the family land of our Cheng family. Mengshan is also one of the few scenic spots in Huaishui County."

The paper cranes descended slowly to the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, where a large area of ​​rice was planted, and there were monks flying by with their swords in the air from time to time.

Cheng Feng was full of curiosity about everything in front of him, and immediately asked Cheng Yuanliang, "Master 21, do immortal cultivators also have to eat?"

Probably because of his old age and love of children, Cheng Yuanliang was quite patient with these two innocent children.

Cheng Yuanliang looked at the innocent child in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he was, and he patiently explained: "Of course I have to eat, but this is not the rice you used to eat, it is also a kind of spiritual thing, and the rice in the spiritual field It is a second-tier middle-grade spiritual grain, and regular consumption of it is of great help to the cultivation of Qi training monks. The field where this kind of spiritual grain is planted is the spiritual field in the world of cultivating immortals. Only the spiritual field can grow spiritual things, otherwise the spiritual things They will die slowly because they cannot receive spiritual support."

One old, two young and three people asked and answered questions like this, but most of them were asked by the younger and lively Cheng Feng, and the older Cheng Qiang might not speak much because of his personality.

Yunmeng Mountain, the home of the Cheng family, is as high as [-] feet. Due to the unique environment, the entire Lingshan Mountain will be surrounded by clouds and mist every day, forming a fairyland-like experience. Therefore, this place was named Yunmeng Mountain by the ancestor Cheng Ruiguang .

Behind Yunmeng Mountain is Qingcang Ridge, an undulating mountain range, and the Cheng family's territory includes the land outside Yunmeng Mountain with a radius of 1000 to [-] miles.

Yunmeng Cheng's family mainly built six towns in this territory, and dozens of small villages living around these six towns.

Qingcang Ridge is well known to outsiders as a branch of the Nanling Mountains where the largest gathering of monsters and beasts in the Nanling Cultivation World.

But fortunately, there are no monsters in Qingcang Ridge that are comparable to monks at the Jindan stage. For such high-level monsters, Qingcang Ridge is a remote place, and the aura is not enough to cultivate.

This was captured by the monks of the Qingyang Sect and Cheng Ruiguang, the ancestor of the Cheng family. After the occupation, Cheng Ruiguang used his extraordinary strength to kill all the spirit beasts in Qingcang Ridge that surpassed the foundation building, leaving only the spirit beasts including those below the foundation building. This is also the place Cheng Ruiguang left for the new generation of the family to practice, but the good times didn't last long.

Cheng Ruiguang, the ancestor of the Cheng family, passed away 20 years before the third beast tide came, and the family only had Cheng Ruiguang's third son, a monk who had reached the late stage of foundation establishment, and did not even have a peak foundation family. .

And he was only in the late stage of foundation building at that time, and his cultivation base was not stable. It happened that the beast tide was led by five third-rank top-grade monsters. Great defense.

If Cheng Ruiguang is still alive, with his half-step Golden Core cultivation, as long as the monsters without Golden Core cultivation come out of the Lingnan Mountains with the tide of beasts, it will not be too difficult to resolve this crisis.

But now there is only Cheng Ruiguang's third son, a late-stage monk, so within five days those monsters drove the Qingcang Cheng clan out of Qingcangling, and the Cheng clan had to settle down at Yunmeng Mountain, which they had looked down upon before. Since then, the name has been changed to the Yunmeng Cheng family, and this is also a disgrace to the Cheng family since the establishment of the family. Changing the family name is to let the Cheng family name it, so as to punish the clansmen for cultivation.

Afterwards, the five third-rank high-grade monsters also directly attacked Yunmeng Mountain, and the other two foundation-building families were ordered by Qingyang Sect to support them in time, and they did not do too much.

Through this incident, they all understood that the Cheng family had a close relationship with their immediate superior, the Qingyang Sect, and then they also wanted to understand that if the five monsters broke through the defense line of Yunmeng Mountain, the monsters would drive straight in and attack the entire Huaishui County .

At that time, the entire Huaishui County family would be in disarray, they would only save their own lives, and eventually fall into the terrifying beast tide.

Facing the attack of the monster army led by five third-tier top-grade monsters, even the other two peak foundation-building families in Huaishui County might not be able to last long.

After all, there were not only five third-tier high-grade monsters in the beast horde, there were more than a dozen third-tier monsters alone.

When the Qing Cang Lake of the Cheng family fell, it was learned from many sharp-eyed people that a terrifying monster comparable to a human half-step Golden Core cultivator appeared and occupied Qing Cang Lake.

Fortunately, that monster was a giant Xuanshui turtle, which had been sleeping in Qingcang Lake during the beast tide.

Otherwise, with the addition of this terrifying monster during the beast tide, Yunmeng Mountain may be directly captured by the beast group led by the giant Xuanshui turtle in a short time.

However, what is strange during the beast tide is that after each beast tide, the foundation-building monsters who escaped from the Nanling Mountains would return to the Nanling Mountains.

However, many monsters below the foundation will stay in Qingcang Ridge, causing more and more low-level monsters in Qingcang Ridge. On weekdays, many monsters will come to attack the Cheng family in the common world. town.

So every time after the beast tide, the Cheng family monks and the Huaishui County monks would often go to Qingcang Ridge to hunt monsters, but they didn't dare to go deep.

It was rumored that several foundation-building monks from Shuiyue County of Luoyang Kingdom had come to hunt that third-tier high-grade monster turtle, but they never returned.

That night, there were quite a few monks who were still hunting monsters in Qingcang Ridge. They saw the light flickering in the sky from time to time above Qingcang Ridge, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. With the roar, the entire Qingcang Ridge returned to silence, and the light produced by the spell could not be seen on that day.

It didn't take much thinking to know that those foundation-building cultivators had all died at the hands of the Xuanshui giant tortoise, and since then Qingcang Lake has become a restricted area for all cultivators.

The Cheng family has followed the ancestral precepts for hundreds of years. When the family monks come of age, they will go to Qingcangling to practice, and they will not return to Yunmeng Mountain until they kill three monsters of the same level.

This is why the Cheng family, which has been established for more than 500 years, can become one of the three peak family powers in Huaishui County.

But now Yunmeng Cheng's family has not had a foundation-building peak monk for nearly 50 years.

The ancestor's third son, the second-generation ancestor, died fifty years ago because of the arrival of Shouyuan. If there is still no one in the Cheng family who can advance to the peak of foundation building monks in ten years, then in order to follow the Huaiyang Li family, According to the contract signed by the Tianlingshan Wang family and the Yunmeng Cheng family, the Cheng family will be reduced to an ordinary foundation-building family, and the benefits of the former foundation-building peak families will also be missed.

This contract is that among the three major families, if there is no foundation-building peak monk, it can be postponed for 60 years to degenerate into an ordinary foundation-building family, and this is also the backup of the three major families.

After all, every family has its times of prosperity and times of decline.

And this is why in the past 500 years in Huaishui County, the three major Huaishui families have never changed and have always been these few families. After all, they are old friends.

The names of the three major families are mainly because the three powerful families form a small group to occupy some resources in Huaishui County. After obtaining the spirit stone, it will be protected by the three major families.

The resources obtained by the three peak foundation-building families every year are enough to make any ordinary foundation-building family excited.

After 60 years, the Li family in Huaiyang, the Wang family in Tianlingshan, and other weaker Jianji families in Huaishui County will be able to openly swallow the Cheng family's property outside of the Cheng family.

After all, Yunmeng Cheng's strength is no longer as strong as it was 500 years ago. Now it is just an empty shell, and the inside is already weak.

The most terrifying thing for the Cheng family is that there are still 18 years of beast tide. Qingcangling is a branch of the Nanling Mountains, and Yunmeng Mountain of the Cheng family is one of the few spiritual mountains around Qingcangling. It became the first battle of the monster attack from Qingcangling.

As the first family to face the huge beast tide, the Cheng family has experienced four beast tides in the past 500 years.

In the previous four beast hordes, with the help of the names of the three major Huaishui families and their absolute strength, they summoned the monks in the entire county, and then managed to hold back the monster beasts with the help of the third-tier mid-tier guardian array in Yunmeng Mountain. Attack on Huaishui County.
