Chapter 455: The Pond and the Abyss
Upon hearing this, Lumine was stunned.
She pointed to herself with her right hand and instinctively said, "So, I'm the only one whose landing point was the Sun and Moon Continent?"
Although she hadn't received an answer yet, Lumine's expression spoke volumes.
If Xianyun and the others weren't here, she would have been completely alone!
Who would have known that there was another continent on the other side of the world?
Of course, as a traveler, she understood the concept of planets.
"For now, yes," Xianyun nodded, as if recalling something, she continued, "As for how I came to the Sun and Moon Continent..."
"One day, when the Emperor mentioned that there was another continent in this world, I decided to come and take a look in advance. I didn't expect the development of the Sun and Moon Continent to be so much faster than the Douluo Continent..."
After arriving at the Sun and Moon Continent, Xianyun found that the cultivation system here was the same as the Douluo Continent's, both focusing on soul masters.
However, the Sun and Moon Continent placed more emphasis on external objects, specifically the development of soul tools, rather than the cultivation of one's own soul power.
Here, it was difficult to create "pseudo-god" powerhouses, and even experts above level 95 were rare.
The soul tool system had its merits, but it seemed they had taken the wrong path.
Or perhaps their vision had limited them.
For these natives, Xianyun's knowledge was like a higher-dimensional strike.
It was still the era of cold weapons, but her mechanical arts...
They simply didn't follow logic at all!
"So that's it, as long as Paimon is fine," Lumine sobbed in relief when she learned that Paimon was still with Zhongli.
That man was the one who could bring the most sense of security on the Teyvat Continent!
"The Douluo Continent..." Lumine touched her chin and fell into thought.
With her current strength, flying from the Sun and Moon Continent to the Douluo Continent was easy, but the continent was so vast, where should she go to find Paimon?
And her brother... Aether!
"Xianyun, when are you planning to return to the Douluo Continent?" If Xianyun could guide her, finding Paimon would be easy, and then it would be another journey to find her brother.
They had already changed worlds, so he should finally appear, right?
He always said it wasn't the right time to meet...
Hmph!
When she finds him, she will definitely give him a punch, then switch positions and make him look for her!
"Achoo~" On the Douluo Continent, Aether sneezed, feeling a chill on him back as if something bad was about to happen.
"I wonder how things are going with others."
"Lumine, we will meet again!" Back at Xianyun's temporary residence, after hearing Lumine's words, Xianyun fell into deep thought.
The Douluo Continent was indeed quite boring. The people there didn't understand inventions or creations, and there was no common language.
The Sun and Moon Continent were different. Since she defeated the first level 1 soul master, there was always someone stronger coming to challenge her.
Of course, in Xianyun's eyes, these humans were still children.
Although they were stubborn, they could accept defeat and admit their inferiority after being defeated.
After saying things like "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young for being poor," they left.
That old friend once said that human wisdom should not be underestimated, and she also wanted to see what surprises these humans could bring in her long life.
Of course, Xianyun also wanted to return to the Douluo Continent, as there were no acquaintances here...
Leaving for a while wouldn't be a problem.
"Anytime, there's nothing urgent on the Sun and Moon Continent. The most powerful soul master here has already lost to me, and they won't come looking for me until they become stronger," Xianyun crossed her arms, she was also the kind of person who couldn't see her toes when she looked down!
There was a hint of arrogance in her words.
Yes, she was the boastful crane!
"Let's go find Paimon first. The Emperor, Xiao, and Paimon should still be in the Heaven Dou City..." Lumine was very happy to hear this, finally she could see Paimon?
Three years... no!
Five years, a full five years!
Paimon, do you know how I've spent these five years?
It has been more than six years since Paimon and Zhongli crossed over, not five.
But Lumine always felt that saying five years was more natural.
At the same time, on the Douluo Continent, in the Star Dou Forest.
The Star Dou Forest was the largest and most dangerous natural forest on the Douluo Continent.
Paimon and Zhongli had been here once, and since then, Paimon never mentioned traveling again.
It was really because there were too many soul beasts, and they were too scary.
Coming back to the Star Dou Forest now brought a different feeling.
"Xiao,Azahada, Gui Zhong, this is the Star Dou Forest, one of the human forbidden zones on the Douluo Continent."
"Here, there were once two overlord-level soul beasts, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python!"
"They were both hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!" Paimon flew at the front, introducing the three as if she were a tour guide.
She liked doing this. Once she arrived at a place she had been arriving before, she would do her duty.
"Why do you say 'once'?" Xiao touched his chin and asked in confusion.
In the Star Dou Forest, "karmic debt" was everywhere, and who knew how many souls were buried here.
In the past, he would have performed the exorcism dance and then xin... xin... xin...
But this seems to be the "law" of this world. If he cleared the "karmic debt," how would humans obtain the soul rings needed for breakthroughs?
So, Xiao didn't interfere.
"Uh..." Paimon reversed at Xiao, then looked at Zhongli, who was calm and composed, and said, "The current emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire once came here to obtain a soul ring..."
She recounted the events of that time, and as she spoke, they arrived at the place where the rock spear had been thrown.
"Look, these pits were made by Zhongli's rock spears, and now they've become ponds," Paimon pointed to the ponds on the ground.
After seeing these ponds,Azahada frowned and said, "Morax, is your power due to erosion..."
These "small" ponds didn't look like they were made by Morax.
Could he be that weak?
Before Azahada could finish, Gui Zhong shook her head and smiled, "Azahada, Zhongli wouldn't use his full strength on these little ones, right?"
Azahada: "…"
Indeed, if Morax used his full strength, this wouldn't be a small pond, but the Chasm...
"The two overlords of the Star Dou Forest are actually just gatekeepers."
"Their duty is to prevent external creatures from disturbing the sleeping powerhouses," Zhongli said without changing his expression.
He was quite familiar with the Star Dou Forest.
More than half of the ten great beasts were sleeping, and there was even a dragon god's avatar here recovering from injuries.

Chapter 456: A Roar Shakes the Silver Dragon
"Sigh~"
Paimon blinked, feeling a bit confused.
How did Zhongli know all this?
Was she the tour guide, or was Zhongli?
Thinking about it, Zhongli andAzahada could both explore the memories of the earth and stones, so it wasn't impossible for them to know these things.
It was better to be a traveler, simple and naive, so that she, as a tour guide, could be useful.
Suddenly, she felt a bit nostalgic for the traveler.
"Last time we came, we didn't go to the Lake of Life."
"Zhongli, are we going to the Lake of Life this time?"
Paimon asked with curiosity in her eyes. She really wanted to see the scenery of the Lake of Life.
Listening to Zhongli's words, which were full of praise for the Lake of Life, it must be very beautiful, right?
Zhongli didn't hesitate and nodded.
The purpose of coming to the Star Dou Great Forest was to see the Lake of Life.
As for the fierce beasts, he didn't care.
The human forbidden zone, but someone was leisurely walking here, which was really surprising.
But they didn't know that these seemed human creatures were not human.
Along the way, Zhongli and the others didn't encounter any spirit beasts. With their perception, they could completely avoid spirit beasts.
Although they didn't encounter spirit beasts, they met two groups of humans who came to hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings.
In the forest, sometimes the biggest threat was not from spirit beasts, but from humans.
Fortunately, these two groups didn't have evil intentions, otherwise they would have been reincarnated.
In the entire Star Dou Great Forest, only the Lake of Life and the outermost areas were relatively exposed to light. The rest of the areas were covered by towering trees, blocking the sunlight.
In this case, the scenery naturally couldn't be beautiful.
Of course, under the towering trees, with a little light and the elemental power emitted by various spirit beasts forming light spots, this kind of subtle beauty was still very desirable.
Time passed, and when everyone arrived at the outer area of the Lake of Life, which was the former territory of the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, it was already noon.
Here, there were no towering ancient trees, the view was relatively open, and there was a deep pool of water.
"Is this the Lake of Life?"
Paimon opened her eyes wide and said excitedly.
The scenery here was really beautiful.
Even though she had traveled to so many places, the scenery here still attracted her.
"This is only the outer area. The pool contains a small amount of life energy."
"These life energies have created a few hundred thousand-year spirit beasts."
It's a pity that these hundred thousand-year spirit beasts are all dead.
Xiao Wu's mother, Xiao Wu, the Sky Blue Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape...
"If the outer area is so beautiful, wouldn't the inside be even more amazing?"
Gui Zhong also looked at the pool and the surrounding scenery, which was as beautiful as the sky and the autumn water.
If it were night, the lake and the moon would connect, and lovers would lean on each other...
Azahada and Xiao also looked around, as if they felt something, their brows furrowed, but they didn't say anything.
After a while, three giant "ants" appeared in front of everyone, staring at them.
These three "ants" were the new guardians chosen by Di Tian after the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python died.
The three thousand-pound ants had reached the age of over ninety thousand years. If they stayed here for a long time, they would become hundred thousand-year spirit beasts in less than a thousand years.
Spirit beasts that reached this level naturally had high intelligence. They always felt that the "humans" in front of them didn't have human aura...
Because of this, they didn't dare to act rashly.
The last time they met such "people" was the real emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The thousand-pound ants hadn't reached the hundred thousand-year level, so they couldn't speak human language, but there were no normal humans here, so whether it was human language or not didn't matter.
Except for Paimon, everyone else understood the meaning of the thousand-pound ants.
"Who are you?"
"What is your purpose here?"
"Leave quickly, there is a great terror sleeping inside."
The three brothers asked while warning.
They didn't want to be enemies with Zhongli and the others, mainly because they were afraid they couldn't win.
"Roar~"
Azahada jumped out of Gui Zhong's arms and roared at the sky, causing the entire Star Dou Great Forest to tremble slightly.
"Little ants, is it as scary as me?"
The three thousand-pound ants: ...
The three brothers squeezed together, trembling. As ants, they didn't sweat, so there was no cold sweat.
So scary!
This creature that looked like two or three human palms was so terrifying, the terrifying pressure, the momentum.
All of this shows that their previous choice was not wrong.
Fortunately, they didn't attack first, otherwise they would have died, right?
The originally "noisy" forest suddenly became quiet, almost all the spirit beasts were lying on the ground, holding their heads, trembling.
The terrifying dragon's might, carrying boundless majesty, had an innate restraint on them.
At the bottom of the Lake of Life, many fierce beasts suddenly opened their eyes, feeling their souls trembling slightly.
That voice...
"Di Tian, is it Uncle Taotie, or..."
A woman in a purple dress with faint dragon scales on her clothes said.
She was also of the true dragon lineage, and the current Dragon King.
It was normal to call the first generation Dragon King uncle.
This voice contains the power of the earth, extremely heavy, very similar to Taotie, and it was like the Mountain Dragon King's roar, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Di Tian was full of surprise, his eyes filled with confusion and confusion.
His strength was much stronger than Zi Ji's. In this voice, he feels the aura of the Water, Fire, and Mountain Dragon Kings.
Could it be that the Mountain Dragon King had devoured the Water and Fire Dragon Kings?
Thinking of this possibility, Di Tian's face changed.
It was a great taboo for the same clan to devour each other, especially the Dragon Kings.
Even if the Dragon God died, no true dragon would dare to do this.
"He is not the Mountain Dragon King..."
At this time, a woman's voice sounded, with a hint of nostalgia and anger.
"Master?"
"This is an evil dragon, he has the aura of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, he must have devoured a lot of the life energy of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings!"
The Silver Dragon King opened her eyes, full of killing intent.
The dragon clan was just in decline, but it was not dead.
How dare any dragon violate the rules of the dragon clan?
As if thinking of something, the Silver Dragon King calmed down. From the aura just now, this evil dragon had stepped into the divine level, and had gone a long way in the divine level!
It might not be much different from her peak...
The Silver Dragon King didn't know thatAzahada's roar was just a casual roar, not using full strength.
But the Silver Dragon King didn't know this!
"Strange, he... no, they seem to be coming for me?"
####
Chapter 457: Better Others Die Than Me!
The position of Azahada was getting closer and closer to the Lake of Life, which gave the Silver Dragon King an illusion. Was Azahada coming for her?
Judging fromAzahada's aura, it was not a wise result to have a conflict with Azahada now.
You know, at her peak, she could only do this, but now she was at her weakest.
Not to mention the peak first-level god, even the second-level god, she might not be an opponent.
For a moment, she was in a panic, but after all, she was the Dragon God's avatar, and she quickly calmed down.
This evil dragon should not exist in the world, but she could temporarily compromise and wait for the right time.
The fierce beasts looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Is such an existence really something they can resist now?
With just the aura, they were trembling, and they could be said to have no power to resist.
"Hahaha..."
"You also have times when you are afraid, you deserve it, you really deserve it!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed, its spiritual power ravaged the whole field.
"You guys, you only bully the weak and fear the strong, when you bully me, did you ever think there would be today?"
"And you, Silver Dragon King, you are not worthy to be the master of the soul beasts!"
Only Tianmeng, who was treated as "food", understands how detestable these soul beasts are!
The most important thing is that they did this with the approval of the Silver Dragon King, the master of the soul beasts.
"Bah!"
"You deserve it, you all deserve to die!"
"Evil Dragon Lord, please come quickly, destroy these hypocritical soul beasts!"
"Tianmeng, you really want to die?"
Di Tian glared at Tianmeng fiercely and said angrily, "If you dare to say one more word, I will make you die before us!"
Hearing this, Tianmeng was slightly stunned, it believed that Di Tian could definitely do what he said.
It's better to live badly than to die well, it's not ready to die yet.
"Cut, I won't say it if you don't want me to."
Tianmeng lowered its head, its eyes full of schadenfreude.
Even if it was devoured by the Evil Dragon Lord, it would be better than such torture.
These guys, they only bully the weak and fear the strong.
If it wasn't for its weak race, with its cultivation, it wouldn't be afraid of these fierce beasts at all!
Unfortunately, its race value is too low, it has a lot of soul power and spiritual power, but it has no useful means, so it is treated as "food".
Many times, Tianmeng was thinking about a question, whether it could break through to this realm, whether it was good luck or bad luck.
Seeing that Tianmeng was temporarily honest, the fierce beasts then turned their eyes away.
There is one thing Tianmeng did not say wrong, they are indeed a bit bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but what's wrong with that?
The law of the jungle is like this, submit to the strong, bully the weak.
The price of provoking the strong is very high.
Only this silly ice silkworm would be so naive, ridiculous!
Suddenly, Di Tian seemed to think of something, subconsciously looked at Bi Ji and Zi Ji, and then looked at the huge silver dragon.
Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said, "My Lord, why don't I go and lure away this evil dragon?"
When he said this, Di Tian's face was firm, his loyalty to the Dragon God had never changed, even though the Silver Dragon King was just the Dragon God's avatar, he still offered his loyalty.
Even though he knew that this trip would kill him, he had to propose it.
If the other party really came for the seriously injured Silver Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King might be in danger of life.
As soon as these words came out, even Xiong Jun, who was not convinced by Di Tian, had a trace of admiration in his eyes.
He thought that Di Tian was only stronger than him because of his higher age, which was also an indisputable fact.
Last time he sneak attacked Di Tian, the cultivation gap was so big, and Di Tian still let the water go, but he still hurt Di Tian, leaving a scratch on Di Tian's dragon scales.
But from that moment on, he knew the gap between himself and Di Tian.
He was not convinced, but he needed to wait for the right time.
"Di Tian..."
Bi Ji and Zi Ji subconsciously called Di Tian, their eyes filled with worry.
If Di Tian really went, they probably wouldn't be able to wait for him to return.
As if thinking of something, Zi Ji said, "Di Tian, I am also a true dragon clan, my bloodline is extremely pure, let me go and lure other party away."
"Shut up!"
Di Tian roared, glancing at Zi Ji.
He understood what Zi Ji meant, and because he understood, how could he let Zi Ji go to die.
Besides, Zi Ji's cultivation level was not too high due to some special reasons, and she couldn't run far.
Di Tian's domineering voice made Zi Ji's heart flutter, wasn't the Di Tian she liked just like this?
"You all step back, if the other party really came for me, even if you sacrifice, he will come back."
The Silver Dragon King said, her voice is full of helplessness.
If she was at her peak, why would she be afraid of this evil dragon?
The fierce beasts were silent, and Di Tian even opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
In the end, he did not refute the Silver Dragon King's proposal, and deep down, he did not want to refute.
If he went, Bi Ji and Zi Ji would probably come down to accompany him soon.
Fortunately, Di Tian did not know at this time what kind of interstellar battleship he would become in the future...
If he knew, he might just go to die.
Di Tian and the Dragon God were connected, but the new Dragon God treated him as a means of transportation, is this really what Di Tian wanted?
On Zhongli's side, the three thousand-jun ants did not dare to stop the footsteps of the crowd, not only did they not dare to stop, but they even pointed out the direction...
It really can't blame these three brothers, when have they ever seen such a scene?
They grew to this point by betraying the queen, and they had no psychological pressure to betray Di Tian again.
Better others die than me.
Zhongli and others did not make things difficult for the three thousand-jun ants, but walked towards the Lake of Life, not too fast or too slow, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.
When the crowd walked away, the three thousand-jun ants escaped, and in a short time, they did not dare to come back here.
"These soul beasts are indeed blessed by nature, with a long lifespan, but unfortunately, most of their time is spent in a daze."
In the process of the growth of the soul beasts, only the first ten thousand years of cultivation are the longest, after ten thousand years, the growth rate has increased a lot.
When they reach the level of ten thousand year soul beasts, their intelligence is almost the same as humans, and at this time, they have also learned to actively condense soul power, and, devour good things to improve their strength.
Before ten thousand year soul beasts, they can only improve by instinct in a daze, which is a very big gap.
The ten thousand year soul beast does not mean that it has lived for ten thousand years.
In the original time and space of the Ice and Fire Eye, there are so many ten thousand year soul beasts, but they only lived for ten thousand years, and, the time they had intelligence was not even ten thousand years.
It's hard to imagine that creatures that have lived for so many years have such a small strength...
The blessed life, if they develop technology, what a good prospect it would be?
