The ancient city wall is bustling with people. It is located deep in the mountains and stretches endlessly, as if there is no end in sight.

at this time.

In front of the city gate, there were countless caravans of Sky-Swallowing Toads coming and going.

It was not surprising to see Su Chen, a young man riding a dark golden toad, blending in with the crowd.

"Did you hear that?"

"A golden elixir overlord-level demon was born near Guyue Stronghold. Now the Lord of Guyue Stronghold is inviting heroes to fight against the demon before it hits the stronghold."

"Tsk, it seems that Patriarch Gu Yue really does not have much time left to live, otherwise, this golden elixir monster would have been eliminated by the Yuanying Patriarch himself."

"This is a great disaster! I hope that Guyue Village will not suffer a serious loss of strength because of this, otherwise the trade route that we have worked so hard to build will be ruined again."

There was a flurry of discussion.

The managers of these caravans were gathered together in front of the city gate, talking and looking worried.

Each of them has the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Stage.

Su Chen happened to be riding a toad into the city and passed by them. Seeing and hearing these remarks and the managers who were in a state of panic all day long, he couldn't help but kick the toad under his feet.

"Talking about you."

"Why make such a big fuss about a breakthrough to Jindan Zhihao?"

"Look how scared they are."

In this regard.

The toad had an innocent look on his face as he hopped into the city, uttering a cry that was filled with confusion.

"Quaa?"

"Quack quack!"

He looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

three years ago.

He is just an ordinary Qi-cultivating toad.

Until now, he has never harmed an innocent person.

that's it.

The ferocious Jindan Tianha mentioned by the caravan managers came into the city in a swaggering manner, passed by them, and even looked back at him.

Nanling is mountainous and full of monsters, and the situation is similar to that of the North Sea. Compared with monsters, the human race is much weaker, but fortunately, monsters are not a monolithic group like the sea race.

otherwise.

It is impossible for the so-called three major fortresses to exist in Nanling.

even.

It is not certain whether there will be human beings.

Nanling has the Gu Dao and the Rune Immortal Dao, which are on par with each other. The overall strength is not weak, but the demons are stronger!
Many of the demon lords who occupy the mountains and act as kings are at the Nascent Soul stage.

Even in order to open up trade routes, connect the major fortresses, and exchange what they have, the passing caravans need to pay tribute to the demon lords. If they are strong, they can defeat the demon lords along the trade routes.

"Gu God!"

"The day after tomorrow is the Gu God Festival!"

"Please donate spirit stones for the glory of the Gu God. We must make the Gu God Celebration a grand event!"

In the Walled City Square.

Su Chen passed by here.

I saw a powerful Gu Master who was shouting with all his might, and in front of him was a box of spirit stones. There were huge crowds of Gu Masters and powerful immortals stuffing spirit stones into the box.

and.

He also knelt down devoutly towards the stone statue of the Gu God in the square.

The stone statue of the Gu God is a mass of black shadow. It looks like a human, but is actually extremely hideous, a blurry human figure with monster-like tentacles.

Su Chen just took a look and frowned.

"demon?"

"It's still the three ancient tribes."

"Not quite like it."

"Perhaps, it is just an illusory legend."

Su Chen took a look and then looked away. The toad under his feet lowered its head towards the statue of the Gu God with a little reverence, as if this reverence was engraved in its blood.

"In that case."

"perhaps."

"Is this rumored Nanling Gu God the holy demon of Nanling?"

Looking at the reaction of the Tianha, Su Chen had some guesses in his mind.

That's the case.

Then don't worry about it.

now.

The path to immortality weakened, or even died out.

If it is a holy demon, except for the Central Region Holy Demon, it is definitely a terrifying monster of the God Transformation level! The Holy Demon of the North Sea, due to the cultivation of the North Sea Dao Zun, also gave birth to a God Transformation level among the nine disasters.

In the other three domains, it is absolutely impossible for the saints, demons and monsters to reach the level of god transformation.

even.

Su Chen even doubted whether the holy demon was still alive in the Eastern Region where the path to immortality was cut off.

"gone."

"Toad, if you lower your head again, I'll beat you up."

Su Chen kicked the toad.

“Quack, quack, quack???”

The toad felt aggrieved.

soon.

They left the city square, but neither the man nor the toad noticed that a poisonous insect had crawled onto the statue of the Gu God. In the eye socket of the statue, it was like a one-eye staring viciously at Su Chen and the toad who were disrespectful to the statue and did not kneel.

"A little celestial being."

“How dare you…”

"Forget it. Who made you...a calamity..."

There was a murmur.

It disappeared without a trace in an instant, just like an illusion, and no one could hear it...

……

……

Su Chen spent spirit stones to rent a nice stilt house in the city. Toad was sleeping soundly in the yard, while he went out to look for news about old friends in the East and West Regions.

“I came to take a look.”

"The best talisman! Hand-drawn by a foundation-building master, you won’t suffer a loss if you buy it, and you won’t be cheated if you buy it. It’s very cheap."

"Gu worm!"

"Let's take a look at the poisonous insects. There are many attacking and killing insects, poisoning insects, and life-saving insects..."

There was a bustle in the caravan market.

Su Chen walked among them, looking at the bustling crowd and the dazzling array of goods on the stalls along the street. He was a little dazzled. Although they were all small things, they were novel and there were many varieties.

"What is Gu Dao?"

"A specialty of Nanling, it is related to the immortal way, but not exactly the same..."

Su Chen came over.

I remembered the Tianzhi Gu from the Western Regions.

After wandering all the way, Tianzhi Gu had long disappeared. It was said that this was the sacred Gu worm from Nanling.

pity.

There is no chance to bring it back to Nanling, it has returned to its roots.

As Su Chen walked, he came to the headquarters of a Chamber of Commerce. This was the largest caravan in the entire Nanling Mountains, called the Xuanyu Caravan.

I heard that it rose rapidly in just three years. The owner of the Chamber of Commerce relied on his terrifying sword skills to crush powerful demon lords all the way and opened up countless trade routes in Nanling.

He instantly became the most sought-after figure in Nanling.

It is said that.

The owner of this Chamber of Commerce was born a slave. Through his unremitting efforts, he gradually freed himself from slavery and became a powerful immortal.

“Buy the news.”

Su Chen stepped into it.

It took some spiritual stones to find out the news about the Eastern and Western Regions.

Although these are all insignificant news.

But it also allowed Su Chen to glimpse the situation in the Eastern Region and the Western Desert.

More than three hundred years passed.

The Great Qi Dynasty is still standing, and continues to compete with the Demon Dynasty established by the powerful demons from the Demon Land, namely the Demon Palace.

More than two hundred years ago.

The two emperors, Tianjiao and Tianqi, as well as the heir of the Ancestral Dragon who was suspected to be the holy demon, have all disappeared.

There are rumors.

The three strongest men in the Eastern Territory all fell into Ji Daotian's hands and were captured to the battlefield outside the sky.

I don’t know whether this rumor is true or not.

Now, both the Great Qi Dynasty and the Demon Dynasty are in chaos. They are fighting endlessly to compete for the few immortal resources and luck.

"Jidaotian."

"That supreme god from the East Region ten thousand years ago..."

"This rumor may not be groundless."

Su Chen shook his head.

However, thinking of the secrets of Emperor Xue of Apocalypse, Su Chen felt that if a fallen god could not regain the peak of extreme cultivation and return to the godhood, he would not be able to handle the mystery of Emperor Xue of Apocalypse, not to mention that there was also a holy demon from the East Region and a true dragon prodigy.

Things in the Western Regions are even simpler.

Hongyun merged with the spirit of the Western Region Main Altar in exchange for powerful strength.

In just ten years, he took control of all the remaining forces in the Western Desert, united them together, and completely strangled the so-called tide of evil beasts, the Sky Soul Clan.

At least, on the surface, Hong Yun, who had achieved the powerful half-step godhood, united many hidden old monsters and restored order to the Western Desert.

then.

It was also more than two hundred years ago.

Hong Yun was trying to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm when he was attacked.

A closed place.

a mess.

He is also missing.

In the Western Regions, there are rumors that a powerful demon from outer space kidnapped him and took him to the outer space battlefield...

"Another two hundred years ago?"

Su Chen fell silent for the first time in a long time.

Their disappearance was no coincidence.

Especially, Hong Yun, Xue, and Di Yi, Su Chen felt that the three of them corresponded to three prophecies, the drum of luck, the sword from the sky, and the ancient dragon palace...

Their disappearances are also related to the outer space and are definitely not a coincidence.

"If you calculate the time this way."

"Isn't that right?"

"When they disappeared, it was the same period when I was trapped in the Dragon Palace but didn't leave. Was that the lost three hundred years?"

"Why is Diyi okay?"

"Could it be that the North Sea was a world of its own at the time, and that it was spared because of the intervention of the ancient barbarian gods and the ancient whale ancestor, as well as the Dragon Palace left behind by the true dragon tribe?"

Standing on the busy and noisy street, Su Chen thought carefully for a long time.

Only then did I suddenly realize.

It seems that, except for the Central Region, the four major prophecies basically correspond to the East, West, South, North and West regions respectively, and the prophecies of the first three have basically appeared.

What Emperor Yi said has already come true.

"Now, only Nanling is left?"

"Nanling... corresponds to the tree that reaches the sky..."

"And I was able to revive the whiskers of the ancient towering tree, so I was forcibly brought here? Could it be that the person corresponding to the fourth prophecy is me..."

Su Chen was stunned.

When I woke up from a trance, I found that the sky was dark and the noise had disappeared.

The sky was dark.

It turned out to be evening.

"hehe."

"interesting."

“But I am a powerful celestial being of the eighth rank. Even if you are the one who corresponds to the fourth prophecy, so what? If you want to manipulate me, even if a deity descends, I will kill you.”

Su Chen sneered. He didn't care about the life or death of his old friend.

It has come to this.

Those who are about to become Nascent Souls, celestial beings, or even gods are almost there, and they are not so easy to kill.

"gone."

Su Chen went back.

1. I slept soundly all night and nothing happened.

Day two.

He got up early and got the information he wanted to know in Guyue Village. Then he prepared to leave, whether to revisit his old place in the Eastern Region or to seek further progress in the Central Region.

Anyway, Nanling is boring here.

There's nothing to stay for.

This place is too weak! The most powerful immortal of the human race is probably just a low-level immortal who has just stepped into the cultivation method of immortals.

This kind of character could be killed easily when he was in Beihai.

"gone."

"Toad!"

"After you send me to the boundary wall, you will be free."

"Hide well in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Nanling. Wait until you grow up and become a pure-blooded Heavenly Clam comparable to the third stage of the Nascent Soul, then come out and walk around. Do you hear me?"

Su Chen is narrating.

that's it.

He rode on a toad and had just entered the city when he was ready to leave.

At this time.

When he was leaving the city gate, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

"Want to leave?"

Most of the soldiers guarding the city were in the Qi training stage. They originally had dull expressions and were obediently lazing around under the shade of the trees. But for some reason, they began to tremble all over and lower their heads for a while.

When they raised their heads again, their expressions, eyes, and even movements were like they were different people, with ferocity filling their eyes.

"You can't go!"

They gathered towards Su Chen viciously.

All of a sudden.

Instead, it scared the nearby caravans that wanted to leave the city, and they started shouting.

"Guyue Village, free entry and exit!"

"This is what the Gu Yue Patriarch said when he founded Gu Yue Village and passed down his bloodline three thousand years ago! Are you from Gu Yue Village planning to exploit us?"

"protest!"

"We want to see the city lord!"

They talked a lot.

even.

Some people wanted to force their way through the city gate.

hum!
next moment.

They stopped talking.

The soldiers defending the city didn't even look at them as poisonous insects crawled out of their bodies and started biting them fiercely.

"what!"

"My Gu worm, damn it, why is my Gu worm out of control!"

"Don't bite me!"

There was a shrill scream.

next moment.

All the monks from the caravan who had caused trouble were turned into bones.

In Nanling, the art of Gu flourished.

Even if one is not a Gu Master, one would carry Gu worms on his body to facilitate traversing the poor mountains and bad waters in these Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, this is the first time that a Gu worm has lost control and turned against its master.

"..."

Su Chen stared at the scene and was silent for a while.

Just now, he tried to rescue these monks from the caravan.

but.

As soon as his soul consciousness expanded, he saw eyes filled with malice staring at him on these people. These eyes were the out-of-control poisonous insects in their bodies.

"You haven't done what you're supposed to do."

"You can't leave yet!"

The soldiers guarding the city looked at Su Chen fiercely.

On them.

Life has long been cut off.

At this moment, what controlled their behavior was not their souls, but the poisonous insects lurking in their bodies.

"Quack quack!"

Under Su Chen's feet.

This pure-blooded sky clam, even if it was as powerful as the Golden Core Demon Overlord, could keep the people of Guyue City tossing and turning all night, but at this moment it let out a panicked cry, wishing it could curl itself up into a ball.

It's so scary.

Just a moment ago, a terrifying creature full of malice looked at him. Even though it was looking at Su Chen, it was just a slight glance from the corner of its eye, which still almost scared this golden elixir demon to death.

"I understand!"

Su Chen suddenly laughed.

"I know who you are."

"rumor."

"Ten thousand years ago, the Nanling people had an extremely difficult life."

"To practice the immortal path, one needs spiritual roots and resources. Nanling is a poor place with bad water and mountains. The human race is not numerous, so there are not many immortal masters. They are no match for those powerful demons, so the situation is getting more and more difficult."

"Until one day, the Gu God mentioned in the ancient books of Nanling came. He killed the Demon King who established the Demon Kingdom in Nanling at that time, and bestowed the Gu Dao, which does not require any threshold, and only requires continuous sacrifice of flesh and blood to practice and become stronger..."

"then."

"In Nanling, there is a Gu Master's Way that is on par with the Immortal Way and is unique to Nanling. However, once the Gu Master and the Gu insects leave Nanling, they will quickly die..."

"You can control poisonous insects. Each poisonous insect is like your eyes and your tentacles. I guess you are the poisonous god in the legend!" (End of this chapter)
