Gou Cultivates Demon Immortals in the Endless Sea

Zhang Liang thought that someone would come to pick him up on the high wall, but no one did.

This is an ancient type of city wall, hard, solid, and heavy. Even though it is covered with sword marks and axe scratches, it does not affect the defensive power of the wall at all.

At this moment, Zhang Liang stood on the wall, looking at the basket that was being pulled by some unknown force, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Someone should have been here to pull me back just now, why is he gone now?"

Zhang Liang looked up, but could only see endless walls, but when he raised his head, he saw the boundless starry sky.

Under the starry sky, above the high walls, the horizon is endless.

However, what made Zhang Liang happy was that he found that perception was already available.

This is a good thing. Zhang Liang sensed it immediately, but then his expression turned ugly.

This maze was beyond imagination, spanning a million miles, and he could not find the outside of the maze. The maze also seemed to have no rules at all, with walls connecting in all directions, but the question was, where should he go?
Finally, Zhang Liang found a different place within his perception, a place similar to a beacon tower. Although there was no one there, it might be a little different.

"Brush~"

Zhang Liang stepped on the void and arrived in an instant.

Without the restrictions in the maze, hundreds of thousands of miles are just a moment.

Sure enough, when Zhang Liang arrived in front of the beacon tower, he found something wrong. He saw that the beacon tower itself was in the shape of a stone house, and the top of the stone roof was the place where the beacon was lit.

Now, although the beacon fire has not been lit, there seems to be something going on in the stone house.

Zhang Liang walked closer and saw an ancient book floating in the middle of the stone house. It did not look like an ordinary item at all.

Of course, the protagonist didn't expect to own this treasure immediately. There is no free lunch in the world, and nothing can be obtained for free.

Now, the only way for Zhang Liang to leave this maze is this book, so he naturally needs to take a closer look.

Just as Zhang Liang entered the stone house, the ancient book suddenly burst into thousands of strange lights. Zhang Liang was startled at first, then he looked carefully, only to be devastated to find that those endless strange lights wandering in the air were actually words.

"Autumn Water and Great River Art, 3 Heavenly Scars can be exchanged."

"Heaven-Scarring Blade, 20 Heaven-Scar Fragments can be exchanged."

"Original Fiery Sun Technique, can be exchanged for 3 Heavenly Dao Fragments."

"Acala Vidyaraja, 7 Heavenly Dao fragments can be exchanged."

"Top-grade immortal weapon, 5 Heavenly Dao fragments can be exchanged, please provide the requirements when exchanging."

"Top-grade immortal weapon, 88 Heavenly Dao fragments can be exchanged, please provide the requirements when exchanging."

"Extreme Speed ​​Star Mark Technique, 8 Heavenly Dao Fragments can be exchanged."

"Ashura Dharma Image, 3 Heavenly Dao Fragments can be exchanged."

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment. Therefore, the resources hunted in the maze can be used to exchange for various types of skills, weapons, and even Dharma Realm.

"It's been so long, can these things still be exchanged? How?"

Zhang Liang was a little hesitant. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. What he observed with just a casual glance was already amazing enough.

Zhang Liang also didn't want to waste the resources he had worked so hard to obtain, so he took a quick look and quickly found something that was both good value for money. It was a technique called Tree Heart Incarnation Technique, and the price was 5 Sky Scars.

The reason for choosing this is that Zhang Liang has not officially started practicing the Longevity Sutra in the Nine-Page Heavenly Book. After practicing the Longevity Realm to the entry level, a very necessary thing is to create a demon plant-like incarnation.

The Tree Heart Incarnation Technique is such a technique. Although it only requires 5 Heavenly Marks, it is equivalent to killing 500 Void-Refined Level soul beasts to obtain it.

When Zhang Liang grabbed the Tree Heart Incarnation Technique, five Heavenly Marks left his body at the same time and were immediately collected into the strange book.

At that moment, Zhang Liang felt as if his palm had established a connection with an unknown area. The next moment, a complete jade slip appeared in his palm. When Zhang Liang sensed it, he found that it was a real martial art, and the grade was definitely not low. With just one glance, Zhang Liang concluded that this was a martial art that could be cultivated to the Mahayana stage, and it might even be more powerful.

"Five Heavenly Marks can be exchanged for this set of skills, but what about the Heavenly Dao Fragment?"

Zhang Liang sensed and immediately scanned the chaotic streams of light. In just a moment, he discovered as many as seven or eight methods of practicing the laws of heaven and earth. The most expensive one required 128 fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

"Wait, didn't I come here to find the way?"

Zhang Liang, who was feeling excited, suddenly realized something.

The maze jungle is a place for hunting.

The beacon tower is the place to redeem prizes.

There are too many things that can be exchanged in the Beacon Tower to count, including many of the skills and techniques that he likes. If he could exchange them so easily, the mere 500 Heavenly Dao fragments on him would not be enough.

Zhang Liang suddenly thought, "Map! I want a map of the maze."

This thought was transmitted to the ancient book, and the ancient book did respond. It said on it: Defense Route Map of the Imperial Palace Maze, which can be exchanged for 500 Heavenly Dao Fragments.

"Pfft~"

"500 Heavenly Dao fragments can be exchanged?"

Zhang Liang was dumbfounded. Wasn't this really a calculation of his wealth? 500 Heavenly Dao fragments, his half-year savings, all spent on this?
"Should we exchange it or not? After all, the Law of Heaven and Earth that can be exchanged for 128 Heavenly Dao fragments is right in front of us."

In the end, reason prevailed over impulse.

Zhang Liang thought that the fragments of Heavenly Dao could be obtained again, but without a map, this was all that could be gained.

"Change~"

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth, and all five hundred fragments of the Heavenly Dao were taken away by the ancient book, which made him heartbroken.

But at the same time, a strange jade slip appeared in his hand, or it could be said that it was not just a map, but more like a token, because the word "Ling" was clearly written on it.

After getting the map, Zhang Liang naturally wanted to take a look at it first. However, when he saw it, he was almost dumbfounded.

He looked at the scale on the map and compared it with the overall scope of the maze, and was shocked to find that the scope of this maze could reach one light year.

Yes, Zhang Liang calculated carefully three times and finally confirmed this fact.

This damn maze is actually one light-year in radius. No wonder he hasn't met anyone so far, and no wonder he sees the same scenery everywhere. How can a Mahayana who can hardly reach the speed of light travel through a maze of one light-year?
Oh no, it's not impossible. As long as this Mahayana cultivator is willing to fly at full speed without stopping for a year or two, he can still reach the border of the maze, but it is almost impossible to reach the real entrance and exit of the maze.

The map in Zhang Liang's hand was not just a map, it was also a maze defense route map. The final destination of this route map was the entrance to the maze, which was where he came from.

But even so, Zhang Liang calculated that with his current location, if he followed the route map, including looking at the map and the complicated route, it would take at least six to eight months.

This is already the fastest, and that’s when Zhang Liang has a map.

So, another thing Zhang Liang thought of at this moment was that if he still had fragments of the Heavenly Dao, the first thing he would exchange for would be speed-related skills.

As Zhang Liang's mind moved, he glanced at the cheapest speed-type skill he had seen so far, which only required 8 Heavenly Dao Fragments to exchange.

The cheapest one requires 8 Heavenly Dao fragments, so what speed can it bring?
Zhang Liang was silent for a long time, then turned around, walked out of the beacon tower, and jumped directly down from the thousand-foot-high wall.

This jump was successful, and Zhang Liang fell heavily to the ground, but his face was full of smiles.

Five months later.

Zhang Liang worked hard to collect 388 fragments of the Heavenly Dao, climbed the wall again, and returned to the beacon tower.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the difficulty of this hunting trip seemed to have increased. The late Mahayana cultivators who could fight with him for half a day or even a whole day appeared frequently, forcing him to end the hunting early.

This time, Zhang Liang’s mind moved again. He sent his thoughts to ancient books, hoping to find a way to increase speed.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of speed-related methods appeared, among which the most expensive was the Xu Yu Sutra which contained 1888 Heavenly Dao fragments. Although Zhang Liang wanted it very much, he could only ignore it.

Finally, he chose a technique of void teleportation that required only 88 fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

When Zhang Liang got this speed-related method and opened it, he was indeed amazed. He could move freely in the void and see three thousand lights in one thought.

Literally, if one learns this skill, one can run three thousand times the speed of light in a moment. Zhang Liang would never have dared to dream of this before, but now that he has come to the Imperial Palace, he has seen the vastness of the world. It turns out that this magical skill can be directly exchanged.

You know, even if a strong man in the Mahayana stage starts at full speed, it would be difficult for him to run a distance of 3,000 light seconds in a day.

However, as Zhang Liang looked down carefully, he found that this Void Shift was obscure and difficult to understand. Not to mention learning it, he couldn't even get started.

Zhang Liang was so angry that he couldn't help but feel his teeth itching. He took several deep breaths before he calmed down.

"I was too ambitious. I have no expertise in speed, so it's natural that I don't understand this top-level technique. Perhaps I should start practicing from the lowest level, the Extreme Speed ​​Star Mark Technique."

So, Zhang Liang once again spent 8 Heavenly Dao Fragments to exchange for the Speedy Star Mark Technique.

Once this skill was opened, Zhang Liang was shocked after reading it briefly. Just reading it once made him understand many things that he had never understood before. This included why it was difficult for the Mahayana stage to exceed the speed of light.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The book explains that when you touch the speed of light, you will touch the Avenue of Time, and the Avenue of Time is spread throughout the entire universe.

The Mahayana stage is not unqualified to reach the speed of light, but unqualified to master the primary avenue of time. In other words, anyone who has not mastered the avenue of time is not qualified to directly surpass the speed of light.

Zhang Liang was wondering, could it be that all true immortals have mastered the Avenue of Time?
The next moment, he understood that it was not the True Immortals who mastered the Avenue of Time, but that they had mastered some ways to avoid the Avenue of Time. For example, the immortal energy was not affected by the Avenue of Time, and the immortal energy could protect the body to exceed the speed of light. For example, the energy of the chaotic void was mixed, and the Avenue of Time could not suppress the various paths in it, so it could easily exceed the speed of light. In addition, under the broken space, there was another disordered space outside the real world. Between disorder and order, there was a layer called the dark world, where the speed of light could also be exceeded.

"Sure enough, I have to start from the bottom."

After a month, Zhang Liang had mastered the Extreme Speed ​​Star Mark Technique. The so-called star mark is the mark left when a big star shines. By grasping the star mark, one can achieve an extreme flashing and jumping technique.

This speed is very fast. To say how fast it is, based on Zhang Liang’s current understanding, it can probably reach three times the speed of light.

Theoretically, if this technique is mastered to a high level, it should be able to reach speeds more than ten times the speed of light.

In addition to exchanging this Speed ​​Star Mark Technique, Zhang Liang also exchanged for the Void Movement, which was worth 18 Heavenly Dao fragments. In a sense, it was definitely much stronger than the Speed ​​Star Mark Technique, and it was more targeted, or it could be used as an advanced version. At least don't let the Void Great Movement you bought at a high price end up being useless, that would be such a waste.

Look, Zhang Liang was just preparing to use the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Dao to exchange for a technique to control the heavens and the earth, but just as he was about to make a choice, a different technique suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Time Magic, 256 Heavenly Dao Fragments can be exchanged."

"Ah this."

Zhang Liang hesitated and was tempted.

When he entered the Imperial Palace, the illusory passage allowed him to master the laws of time and even glimpse the Avenue of Time.

However, time was too short and he had no time to learn more.

Moreover, the art of time seems to be quite important. It can even suppress all kinds of great ways and make people unable to cross the threshold of the speed of light.

If I master the art of time, wouldn't that mean I can ignore this threshold? By then, I will have one more way to exceed the speed of light than other people who can exceed the speed of light, which is also one more way to save my life. After all, everyone's path is completely different.

Of course, Zhang Liang was still a little hesitant. He couldn't learn the void teleportation of 88 fragments of the Heavenly Dao, but could he learn the time magic now?

So, Zhang Liang conveyed his thoughts to the ancient book, asking for the introductory method of time magic.

However, this time, apart from the "Time Magic", nothing else appeared.

"Hey, is this the only way?"

"Buy it or not?"

Zhang Liang was a little hesitant, but soon he made a decision.

"purchase."

There should be many places where you can obtain the Law of Heaven and Earth. At worst, I can go down and fight for another half a year. But this is the only book on Time Magic.

Moreover, I don’t know if it was Zhang Liang’s illusion, but he felt that if he didn’t buy it this time, he would never have the chance to buy it a second time.

"Om~"

Just as the fragments of the Heavenly Dao were being swept away, a mysterious halo suddenly appeared behind Zhang Liang. The halo began to rotate, and there seemed to be infinite truth in it that was drilling into Zhang Liang's mind.

At that moment, Zhang Liang seemed to be in a surging river. Outside the river and on the shore, many memories were fading away.

Zhang Liang saw his past life, his teacher, his classmates, the Black Fish Sage, and everything he had experienced along the way. They were all moving away, yet seemed to be frozen in time.

No, it's not frozen, but flowing in a wonderful way.

When Zhang Liang looked at the surging tide, where was his own figure?
So, from what angle did I see everything on the shore?

After a long while, Zhang Liang slowly came back to his senses, and murmured: "Time, it turns out to be a river." (End of this chapter)
