Chapter 886: Desolation
"Give me the most detailed map of the Zanggu Desert. Also, have there been any noteworthy changes in the desert recently?"

In the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Qing expressed his needs to the supervisor named Cai.

He was disguised to a certain extent at this time and did not reveal his true appearance, showing his cultivation at the peak of the Earth Realm.

The director of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce had no idea that the person sitting in front of him was the world-famous exiled immortal from Xuandu, the master of Yuqing Temple.

Zhou Qing was indeed not afraid that someone would suddenly become malicious towards him and come to kill him.

But if possible, he still didn't want the news of his appearance in the Ancient Burial Desert to spread widely.

After all, he is not truly invincible in the Xuanhuang Realm, and there are many people who want to harm him.

Apart from anything else, if the Heavenly Mother Sect Leader learns of his news and comes directly to the Zanggu Desert to kill him, Zhou Qing will be in trouble.

"Please take a look, my dear guest. This is the most detailed map of the Great Burial Desert in Huangsha City."

Manager Cai handed over a piece of parchment. Zhou Qing took it, glanced at it, and compared the map with the one he got in the College of All Saints.

Before leaving the capital, Zhou Qing had already made preparations to come to the Ancient Burial Desert, so he naturally learned about the place in advance.

Maps and other things are essential items, and they are also available inside the College of All Saints.

However, the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce of Huangsha City has always been rooted here and is on the front line, so it has more say on many things. It is also necessary to buy a map from them for mutual reference.

It doesn’t cost much anyway.

The map of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is very detailed, recording many dangerous places in the desert, oases everywhere, and even the lairs of well-known evil creatures.

Of course, these are definitely more general information. Exclusive and secret information cannot be sold easily.

But for Zhou Qing, this was enough.

"These are some of the changes that have occurred in the Zanggu Desert in recent times that we need to pay attention to. Some of these changes are related to desert disasters, while others are caused by various masters. There is no more comprehensive information in the entire Huangsha City than here in the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce."

Manager Cai handed over another jade slip, "Those changes in the situation can at least pose a threat to the Venerable."

"good."

Zhou Qing examined the jade slip and nodded slightly.

Manager Cai looked at Zhou Qing and continued, "Is this your first time in Huangsha City?"

"Correct."

"Then, my dear guest, do you need any information about the evil creatures, disasters, or special situations in the Zanggu Desert?"

"Take it and take a look."

After comparing the information he got from Wanxing Chamber of Commerce with his previous preparations, Zhou Qing had a rough idea in his mind.

This ancient desert is indeed strange. Changes occur every once in a while and it is not constant.

Although he is quite powerful, he should not underestimate this dangerous land.

It can be said that even if you let Zhou Qingming kill Daluo Tianjing with swords and spears, there is no danger of entering the Burial Ancient Desert.

The power of heaven and earth is worthy of awe.

"If you want to enter the Zanggu Desert, you can choose to join our Wanxing Chamber of Commerce's exploration team."

Manager Cai invited, "Our Chamber of Commerce's exploration team is led by a master of the Heaven Realm. It is safe and secure. With your strength, you will definitely gain a lot and accumulate experience."

“It will also be useful if you want to explore the Ancient Burial Desert on your own in the future.”

"No need for that. I'm still considering whether to enter the Ancient Burial Desert."

Zhou Qing refused. Although the expedition team of Wanxing Chamber of Commerce had credibility, it was obviously not free and was a constraint on him.

Moreover, with their strength, a normal Heaven Realm leader...

Is it the Heaven Realm of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce that protects him, or is it him who protects the Chamber of Commerce's exploration team?
After paying the money promptly, he walked out of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce and went to the Black and White Building to buy a copy of their intelligence.

Gathering the information from the three parties, that's about enough.

The soul transformed into a Qilin, felt the direction of the guidance, and searched on the map.

After a long time, Zhou Qing made all preparations.

"It's time to go in. I hope everything will go smoothly in this last month."

This time when he left the capital, he should have traveled around the world and practiced Buddhism. He should have taken his time and not been in a hurry.

The reason why Zhou Qing came to the Zanggu Desert now is because it is already April and there is only one month left in the lock-up period of [Bloodline of Heaven].

With [blood from heaven], Zhou Qing will be favored by heaven and earth and have great fortune.

This will undoubtedly be beneficial for him to enter the Ancient Burial Desert, helping him avoid many dangers, and even play a role in finding the Qilin clan's land.

Therefore, Zhou Qing chose to rush to the Ancient Desert in this last month. As for whether this time is enough?
With his strength, a month is more than enough to explore the desert.

It won’t be too late to do other things after he comes out of the desert.

Zhou Qing walked out of Huangsha City, and there were many people who did the same thing as him.

A large number of practitioners poured out of Huangsha City and soon disappeared in all directions after entering the Ancient Burial Desert, hidden in the wind and sand.

No one knows which will come first, opportunity or death.

No one knows how many corpses are buried under the yellow sand.

Zhou Qing looked back at Huangsha City. The city walls and cracks were already filled with yellow sand.

This is an ancient city, with mottled and vicissitudes left by time.

The city has witnessed the passage of time and the life and death of generations of living beings.

Standing outside the city gate and looking to the south, there was nothing else except the endless desert and the gradually shrinking figure of the explorer.

Zhou Qing stepped out and disappeared here the next second.

Of course he would not cross the desert on foot.

The Zanggu Desert is very large, even larger than the territory of Southern Jin.

Zhou Qing was flying in the sky, keeping an eye on all directions to prevent possible danger.

With Zhou Qing's strength, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to go to those forbidden areas in the sand sea, he doesn't have to worry about his safety most of the time.

But there are exceptions.

Natural disasters can occur anywhere in this desert except for those restricted areas.

Ordinary natural disasters are fine, but super natural disasters that contain special powers can even engulf the sky.

In the Burial Ancient Desert, there is a force of desolation flowing. Every natural disaster is a gathering of that force of desolation. It is not an ordinary desert disaster like the one in Zhou Qing's previous life.

Therefore, the natural disasters here are also called sand disasters and famine disasters.

If it was a sandstorm from his previous life, Zhou Qing's cultivation could easily quell it.

Not to mention quelling a desert disaster, even turning the entire desert into fertile soil in a short period of time would be no problem.

But this world is different. Many things contain special powers.

If the amount of desolate power mutates is large enough, it will be very troublesome and can be called a disaster that will destroy the world.

For example, when Zhou Qing entered the city, he heard people on the street talking about the dragon sandstorm, which was a kind of famine disaster.

The occurrence of this kind of desert disaster is irregular and not fixed in one place. It can occur anywhere other than the Jedi.

Zhou Qing was not afraid of the dangerous creatures here, nor was he afraid of the Jedi. The Jedi were marked on the map, and he could bypass them when he encountered them.

But if we encounter a super sandstorm, it will be troublesome.

Although he is currently blessed by heaven and earth, it is not 100% impossible for an accident to happen, and he still needs to be cautious.

However, those deserted and forbidden areas never experience sandstorms. Even if a sandstorm breaks out near them, it will not affect the deserted areas. No one knows why, but it has always been like this.

Therefore, sometimes if you are unlucky enough to encounter a sandstorm, you may have a chance of survival by hiding in a remote or forbidden area.

"cracking!"

Suddenly, a sharp scream was heard, and a giant bird with a wingspan of a hundred meters appeared in the distance, then rushed towards Zhou Qing rapidly.

The air was so turbulent that the giant bird flapped its wings, causing the yellow sand on the ground to fly up in an extremely violent manner.

Looking at the giant bird rushing towards him, Zhou Qing did not dodge or evade, but flew straight over.

then……

The bird's head was chopped off.

Even if it can't see through my cultivation level, how dare a true-blooded sand beast take the initiative to charge at me?

I'm really dizzy.

The next moment, Zhou Qing disappeared here, and the bird corpse was taken away by him.

Sand beasts are actually similar to wild beasts, but they are extremely adapted to the environment of the Burial Ancient Desert and are eroded by the power of desolation, which makes them different from normal wild beasts in the outside world. This is one of the native creatures living in the Burial Ancient Desert. In addition to sand beasts, there are also sand monsters.

The sand demon is not a monster transformed from the yellow sand, but a general term for all the monsters in the ancient desert.

Like the sand beast, the sand demon was also eroded by the power of desolation and underwent certain changes.

It is difficult for normal animals to survive in this place, but there are actually quite a few native creatures here.

They have reproduced here from generation to generation, and have adapted to and even been assimilated by the power here.

For explorers entering the desert, sand beasts and sand demons are the main dangers.

Although sandstorms are terrible, their numbers are definitely not as numerous as these native creatures.

They lurk everywhere in the desert and may pop up at any time to launch a fatal attack on you. They have the advantage of geographical location and are hard to guard against.

People with weak strength would be very cautious after entering the Ancient Burial Desert and would not dare to show off so as not to attract the attention of sand beasts or sand monsters.

Before Zhou Qingguang flew at high speed, he had anticipated that he would be discovered by the native creatures here.

He had expected such an attack.

But it's not a big problem.

Now he is no longer the little monk who had to be cautious when entering the Black Mountain and tried hard to avoid all the wild beasts.

To put it bluntly, it is basically impossible for the sand beasts and sand monsters in the Ancient Burial Desert to keep him.

He needed to be cautious when he was weak, and now that he is strong he still needs to be cautious. Didn't he practice in vain?

Among the native creatures of the desert, in addition to sand beasts and sand monsters, there is also the most special and powerful one.

That is the evil creature.

If sand beasts and sand monsters are eroded by the power of desolation, then the evil creature is the power of desolation itself.

They are brutal and hostile to all living things, even sand beasts and other creatures, which they will kill without mercy.

Some of the ferocious creatures are transformed from sand beasts and sand demons, some are various corpses that have been mutated after being soaked in the power of desolation, and some have come out from those desperate and forbidden areas.

Especially the last type of monster, which is the most brutal and powerful.

The strongest evil creature here is second only to immortals, and with the help of the geographical advantage, it is difficult for even an immortal to kill such an evil creature.

The boundless power of desolation is at the disposal of evil creatures, and the power they can unleash is terrifying.

The most crucial thing is that the evil creatures have the ability to actively trigger super-disasters. Even when they die, the power of desolation in their bodies will explode, and a super-disaster will form in an instant, sweeping in all directions.

This is the most difficult native creature in the Burial Ancient Desert. Even the immortals are unwilling to provoke it because it is too troublesome, with no benefits and only brings trouble.

There are several well-known lairs of super-ferocious creatures in the Great Burial Desert. Even the Heaven Realm will choose to avoid those places.

The reason why Zhou Qing is flying recklessly now is not because he is really arrogant and has lost his caution.

Instead, there were no nests of super-ferocious creatures, the habitats of super sand beasts and sand monsters, or forbidden areas or desolate places on the route he was advancing.

That's why he's flying high and moving at full speed, he's sure of it.

As for those super ferocious creatures, sand beasts, and sand demons that are not recorded on the map, if the direction Zhou Qing is heading in really exists, then even if he moves forward in a low profile, he will not be able to avoid them.

Half a minute later, a green area appeared in front of Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing recalled the contents on the map and knew where this place was.

"Yuanxing Oasis?"

The Great Burial Desert is very desolate, with the power of barrenness flowing, but in the dead silence, there is still vitality.

The oases are the last source of life in this barren land.

Many oases have been named by practitioners from outside and marked on maps.

Some of these oases are occupied by native creatures, while others have become gathering places for outside practitioners after entering the desert.

The Zangu Desert is vast, and many people stay there for a long time once they come in. It is inconvenient to enter and exit, but they need to resupply or have other things to do. If they go to Huangsha City, it is too far away.

It is very easy for Zhou Qing to move around here, but other practitioners at middle and low levels are facing many risks, and they may encounter crises every time they go back and forth.

These oases full of vitality naturally became places for adventurers to rest and develop into settlements where everyone gathered together to keep each other warm and manage the oases.

Some adventurers even live in these oases for a long time, not leaving for several years or even more than ten years.

Life is very tenacious and the benefits are extremely tempting.

Zhou Qing took a look at the Yuanxing Oasis but did not go in. However, the appearance of this oasis also allowed him to accurately locate his current position.

Sensing the guidance of the Qilin Statue, Zhou Qing moved his finger southward on the map with Yuanxing Oasis as the starting point. The many places he would pass through next became extremely clear.

Looking at several of the areas, Zhou Qing frowned.

"If I continue walking in this direction, I will pass by the Nine Chiefs, the Ten Thousand Bone Lake, the God-confusing Sand Cave, the Gate of Hell, the Corpse Heart Forest, and the Blood-Linking Mountain."

"The Qilin tribe's territory could be related to these places..."

The Nine Chiefs, Blood Mountain, and Corpse Heart Forest, these three places are the lairs of super ferocious creatures that are second only to immortals. They are occupied by three super ferocious creatures, the Nine-Headed Demon, the Blood Mountain Giant, and the Corpse Heart Forest Lord respectively.

Under these three super ferocious creatures, there are also other weaker ferocious creatures attached to them.

Wangu Lake is a dangerous place. Although it cannot be called a Jedi, it is not a place to be underestimated.

There is a lake in the sand, but what flows there is not lake water but bone fluid. Floating on the bone fluid are endless white bones, including bones of creatures of all races, buried inside and outside the ancient desert.

Wangu Lake is extremely evil, and you will encounter all kinds of strange things if you get close to it. But compared to the Gate of Hell, Wangu Lake can be said to be not that bad.

With Zhou Qing's strength, he could explore Wangu Lake briefly, but the Gate of Hell...

It is one of the most terrifying and dangerous places in the ancient desert!

Not to mention Zhou Qing, there are records in the Academy of All Saints that in history, there were immortals who entered the Gate of Hell to explore, but they all ended up fleeing in embarrassment and never set foot in the Ancient Burial Desert again.

It was okay to just take a look at the outermost part of that place, but if he wanted to go deeper, Zhou Qing would definitely not want to do that.

However, the Lost Sand Cave is somewhat special. The danger there is of a different style from that in other places in the Ancient Burial Desert.

It's not necessarily deadly there, and you may be safe once you go in.

The Godly Sand Cave can be said to be a vast...maze.

The terrain there is extremely complex, with a large number of sand hills and flat basins.

There are countless cave roads underground and in the mountains, hiding passages that extend in all directions, which are complicated and have no rules.

All the passages in the Mystical Sand Cave are shrouded in a natural illusion array, which is equivalent to being a part of that natural illusion array. Anyone who enters is equivalent to entering a super illusion array.

A passage is a small illusion array, and the perfect combination of countless small illusion arrays is the God-confusing Sand Cave.

At the same time, there is a power that can prohibit spiritual thoughts, so that once practitioners enter, they cannot see the surrounding scenery like they do outside. They can only observe the environment with their eyes.

In addition, the sense of confusion and distortion inside the entire Misty Sand Cave is very serious and will greatly affect your ability to determine the direction. This is the impact brought about by the illusion array.

One illusion after another, one dream after another, makes people confused and disoriented. You think you are moving forward, but in fact you may be moving left or right.

The natural illusion array plus the forbidden power of gods make it impossible for many people to get out after entering the God-confusing Sand Cave, which is why it is called a maze.

For those who are weak, it is almost impossible to get out once they go in.

If you are strong, then you will naturally have a chance. After all, it is just an illusion array, not a killing array.

If you have some unique skills, patience and some luck, you can still get out successfully.

A kind of magic bead will be born in the sand cave. This thing can guide the direction and resist the magic array. If you are lucky, you may get it.

As for trying to escape by attacking and destroying the Godly Sand Cave?

this will not work.

The Mishen Sand Cave covers a very large area. This is not an exaggeration but a description of the facts.

If compared to the territory of Da Qi, the Mishen Sand Cave is as big as three or five states, and not those small states, but big states!

It is easy to imagine how terrifying a natural illusion array with such a wide coverage is. It can be called the number one illusion array in the world!

It's wishful thinking for you to want to destroy such a huge natural illusion.

But in the Misty Sand Cave, there are not many native creatures such as sand beasts and evil creatures. Even evil creatures are reluctant to enter that place, so the danger in this regard is not great.

Apart from the danger of getting lost, the main danger is phantoms and... other practitioners.

Some people are desperate outside, and even the realm of disorder can't accommodate them, so they will hide in the sand cave of the mystery.

Some people are lucky enough to get the magic pearl and will take the initiative to explore it.

These people inside are often hunters.

How could the gains from exploring the desert be as quick as those from killing people and stealing treasures?
