Immortal Palace Longevity

"Huh?!"

Glancing around again, he found that there were palaces and other buildings on some craters.

These palaces are extremely huge. Compared with the palaces where humans live, they are often tens to hundreds of feet high.

The details are very delicate, with few major flaws.

Even if dozens or hundreds of feet of demon cultivators live in it, they will never be "stuck".

Liu Yu glanced hastily again, and there were many monsters and cultivators coming and going in his sight.

Living in the palace, demon cultivators and monster beasts seem to be used to it, and there is no sense of disharmony.

There was something ridiculous in his heart. Recalling the scene just now, he felt that the demon clan had lost the sense of "civilization".

There is no doubt that in this Xinghuo Mountains, the Fire Phoenix Clan has established a sound top-down system to rule countless monsters and cultivators.

With the strength of the Fire Phoenix Clan, I am afraid that if I give an order, all the monsters will obey.

"With the body of a demon beast or demon cultivator, and limited by the flexibility of its minions, it is difficult to build so many exquisite palaces."

"Then what explanation should be given to the palace in front of us?"

"Did the Fire Phoenix Clan enslave humans to build it?"

"If so, then where are those monks or mortals being imprisoned?!"

Recalling the exquisite palace just now, Liu Yu had many speculations in her heart.

But for a while, I couldn't think of any clues, so I had to put it aside for now.

Although the construction style of the palace was very different from that of Chu and Tiannan, and was full of exotic styles, he dared to conclude that it would be absolutely difficult for the demon clan to build it.

Perhaps, a small amount could be built reluctantly, but it would never be possible to build it on a large scale, or even allow some second-level monsters to live there.

To the monster's sharp claws and fangs, most stones and wood are as fragile as paper that breaks at a touch.

Moreover, with the ignorance of low-level monsters, it is difficult to restrain their nature and learn such "complex" behavior.

Not to mention the exquisite carvings on the architecture that are pleasing to the eye.

As for third-level demon cultivators, they can do the above, but they are unlikely to be willing to do it themselves, especially to serve low-level demonic beasts.

Compared with the human race, the rules of the demon race are more naked and follow the bloody jungle laws. How can the demon cultivators be willing to serve the monster beasts?

It was based on these points that Liu Yu dared to conclude.

When he thought that there might be monks or mortals from the Central Realm, his heart could not help but ripples, and he became a little excited.

At this moment, Liu Yu really wanted to find a person from the Central Region and use the "Soul-Breaking Soul Searching Technique" to obtain crucial information.

Over the years, he has suffered too much due to lack of information!

Thinking of this, the azure light in Liu Yu's eyes flourished, and he glanced at the Xinghuo Mountains several times, trying to find the figure of the monk, even if it was a mortal.

But the reality was always disappointing. He took the risk and scanned repeatedly, but he couldn't find any trace of human beings.

"pity."

After searching to no avail, Liu Yu murmured to himself, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and the azure aura gradually dimmed and disappeared.

Since the idea of ​​relying on soul searching to achieve a breakthrough has failed, the investigation here is almost the same, so there is no need to stay any longer.

The "Wall of Divine Consciousness" surrounded him, and with a slight boost of mana in his Dantian, he rose into the air, flew close to the ground, and quietly touched in another direction.

I plan to change the angle and continue to observe the terrain and collect information.

The Fire Phoenix Tribe is so powerful. If they choose to force their way through this route, the strength of the four of them is simply not enough. If their number increases tenfold, they will only die.

Therefore, there is only one way to go.

See if you can find a relatively weak spot, or if you encounter some God-given opportunity, you can cross the Starfire Mountains at lightning speed.

"Alas~"

Thinking of this, Liu Yu sighed lightly, touched the spirit beast bag around his waist, and then shook his head slightly.

"tread"

Both feet landed lightly, making an extremely small sound.

But the sound was shrouded by a layer of cyan mana shield, and was eliminated before it could be heard. Even the low-level monsters who were less than ten feet apart did not notice any movement.

After moving dozens of miles in a straight line, he changed his angle and continued to observe the movement of the Xinghuo Mountains.

Originally, it was mainly to observe the situation of the Fire Phoenix Clan and the terrain of the Starfire Mountains.

But since discovering that human monks may exist, Liu Yu has become more concerned about this aspect.

As long as you find a way to kidnap a monk without knowing it, and conduct a "soul search" to obtain the memory, you can easily obtain a lot of information about the Central Region and the situation in the Hengduan Mountains.

This is much faster and safer than collecting it by yourself.

Regardless of the current situation or the actions after reaching the middle territory, it will be an extremely important reference.

Thinking like this, Liu Yu, who was hiding behind the rock, his eyes lit up with azure light again, looking towards the Xinghuo Mountains and their surroundings in the distance.

"No."

After a few quick glances, not daring to stay for too long, Liu Yu secretly thought.

From a different angle, apart from seeing different mountains and rivers, and being able to observe more things, there was still no trace of the monk.

However, he was not discouraged and observed carefully again.

For the Golden elixir cultivator, a day, two days or a few months is really nothing.

Several profound lessons learned along the way gave Liu Yu plenty of patience, and he had no desire for quick success at this time.

Sometimes, hard work may not necessarily yield results, and he has long been mentally prepared for this.

With careful observation, half an hour passed quickly.

Liu Yu felt a little regretful after half an hour's harvest, but did not have any negative emotions.

According to his previous experience, he took off again and flew close to the ground to observe from another angle.

There are some things where being anxious won't make the slightest difference.

Liu Yu understood this, so he felt extremely calm and just did what he could do meticulously.

As for the outcome, I can only pray and hope it will develop in a good direction at this time.

…

"It's time to return to the temporary cave."

Shining blue light, like blue stars' eyes looking into the distance, this thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

At this time, nearly seven days have passed.

During these seven days, he kept looking north, constantly changing his position to observe the terrain of the Xinghuo Mountains, as well as the conditions of various demon cultivators and monsters.

Although no breakthrough progress has been made, it is not without gain after understanding the terrain and some basic conditions of demon cultivators.

In order to prevent an accident that would cause everyone to be blamed, when they went out to collect information, the four of them always agreed to return at least once every seven days.

If you do not return within seven days, the other person will be transferred immediately and all previous contact information will be changed.

"Um?!"

Just as he was about to rise into the air, his magic power was already in motion, Liu Yu suddenly stopped his next movements.

Just because of the spiritual induction, a third-order demon bird suddenly flew out of a dead volcano in the distant Xinghuo Mountains, and quickly flew in his direction.

"Discovered?"

Liu Yu frowned as her thoughts changed rapidly.

The magic power of Dantian is ready to go out. As long as there is the slightest disturbance, it will immediately explode with all its strength and run away.

But he still had some confidence in the optimized "Wall of Divine Consciousness". The chance of ordinary third-level demon cultivators seeing through it was extremely small, so he did not act rashly immediately.

In the flash of lightning, Liu Yu was ready to go, but he still stayed where he was for the time being, intending to check the situation first.

The next moment, he felt a spiritual consciousness coming from the front and sweeping towards where he was!

But fortunately, this spiritual consciousness just swept past and had no intention of staying. It was obvious that he did not notice his existence.

The next moment, the demon cultivator's consciousness had been withdrawn, and it seemed that he was just scanning out of habit.

"Huh~"

Seeing this, Liu Yu felt relieved, but his body still stood in place, and his consciousness quietly came out.

It's too late to say it, but it's too late to say it.

"thump"

However, in just a few breaths, the demon bird flapped its wings and accelerated, and the distance between it and Liu Yu was less than twenty miles.

But the next moment, the demon nimbly turned and flew to the left, which finally made him feel relieved.

At this time, through the observation of his spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu finally saw clearly the true face of this monster in Lushan.

At first glance, this demon cultivator looks very similar to the Fire Phoenix tribe. They both have fiery red feathers and a very long and graceful neck.

But if you look closely, you will find that there are many green feathers among its fiery red feathers.

The graceful and slender neck is also surrounded by a circle of black.

Just like a priceless green jadeite, if it is stained with a few large stains, its value will drop significantly in an instant.

When it comes to this monster, it just doesn't have the fire phoenix tribe's temperament that rules the group of monsters.

The power emanating from the whole body has also been reduced by more than a step, becoming ordinary and ordinary, and no longer has that kind of innate "nobility".

Firebird tribe!

Information about this monster flashed in Liu Yu's mind. It has a lot of connections with the Fire Phoenix Clan and is considered a relative.

Their entire race can be considered one of the many minions of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

The Fire Bird Tribe also had the bloodline of spirit demons, but they were just ordinary ones. Their combat power could only be said to be slightly higher than that of the same level, but in his opinion, they were not outstanding.

But what concerned Liu Yu the most was not the third-order fire bird itself, but the huge iron cage in its beak.

The iron cage was completely black, with very small gaps between the iron pipes, and there were many handcuffs and legshackles hung on it.

Each one was stained with a dark red color, which should have formed after the blood dried.

Judging from the size of the handcuffs and footcuffs, it is obvious that they cannot be used to imprison monsters, so they can only be human beings.

"If we are just imprisoning mortals, we don't have to use such oversized materials and make a cage made of "iron essence"."

"Most of the people who can be imprisoned and transported in this cage are immortal cultivators."

Countless thoughts rose and fell in his mind. The moment he observed the third-order fire sparrow and the iron spirit cage, Liu Yu thought of a lot of information.

This also reflects each other's previous guesses, and most of them will not be wrong.

Iron essence is a third-level spiritual material, which is more than enough to be used as the main material for refining magic weapons.

It is usually calculated as "two", and each tael is worth thousands of spiritual stones.

Such a large iron cage, even if some other spiritual materials are mixed in it, would contain at least hundreds of kilograms of "iron essence". How many magic weapons can be refined?

"Then, why did the demon race spend a lot of money to build this iron cage?"

"More importantly, where did those imprisoned cultivators come from?"

The previous doubts disappeared, and new doubts arose. Liu Yu's consciousness secretly locked on the third-level fire sparrow, and the thoughts in his heart turned rapidly.

He was keenly aware that this was a very good opportunity.

If you can follow this fire sparrow and figure out where the imprisoned cultivators come from, you can learn the information about the Central Realm at this time.

Perhaps, we can find a way to cross the Spark Mountains?

Looking at the rapidly fading fire sparrow, Liu Yu's brows relaxed, a look of determination flashed across his face, and he finally raised his mana to quietly follow.

…

It seemed that the third-level fire sparrow had never thought about being tracked by the immortal cultivators, and its flight speed was not very fast.

"Chee!"

On the way, it would occasionally make a strange cry and dive down, swallowing a low-level monster whole.

However, it was also thanks to this that Liu Yu could easily keep up.

Otherwise, if it flew at full speed, he would have to give up this opportunity in order not to leak the fluctuation of mana and expose his existence.

Fifty miles, one hundred miles, one hundred and thirty miles

Flying to the left for about a thousand miles, the volcanic community began to become sparse, with only one every ten miles, and it was also a dead "dead volcano".

Along the way, a little green began to appear.

After flying for about 1,500 miles, the third-level fire sparrow had already left the main body of the Star Fire Mountains, and suddenly made a 90-degree turn and flew towards the dead volcanic group.

In an instant, it was like a certain mechanism was triggered.

In just one breath, six or seven rays of light rose from all directions, and the aura locked onto the third-level fire sparrow.

"Squeak~"

Faced with the interrogation, the fire sparrow was somewhat arrogant and took out a dark red token with a true spirit phoenix painted on it.

At the same time, with a sharp cry, the several demon cultivators who had surrounded him retreated and let him go.

Although their strength might not necessarily be better than the other party, in the minds of the third-level fire sparrows, their race and the fire phoenix clan were "relatives", and they were not comparable to these "lower races", so they always looked down on them.

What's more, this time it went out to work for the honorable "third princess".

Looking at the dark red token representing their identity, several demon cultivators looked at each other, but faced with the shock of the "third princess", they still chose to retreat and let him go.

They could be angry with the fire sparrow, but at this time, the other party was pretending to be powerful, so they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction with the "upper clan".

"Third princess?"

This scene was taken into Liu Yu's eyes.

He could understand the demon language and guessed that this "third princess" might be a powerful and high-ranking demon cultivator from the Fire Phoenix Clan.

However, watching the third-level fire sparrow go away, Liu Yu could only stop there.

Although this place is far away from the main body of the Starfire Mountains, there are still a dozen demon cultivators guarding it within a radius of 100 miles.

There seems to be one every ten miles.

And within a certain distance, they seem to have some powerful detection methods, and some ignorant low-level demon beasts will be discovered as soon as they approach.

"So, if we go in this direction, there will be immortal cultivators?"

"Compared to other places, there are many demon cultivators here, but the vigilance seems to be a little lax."

"Even if there are demon cultivators to warn, only six or seven appear."

In the dark, Liu Yu's eyes flickered and he kept thinking in his heart.

Finally, he took a deep look at the direction where the third-level fire sparrow left, and turned back.

If he didn't go back, the three teammates would not be able to sit still.
