Chapter 1554 Dongxian Continent

"Why are you so sure, Lord City Lord?" Xiao Lin's face was calm. He gently stroked Xiao Hei's head. Xiao Hei then lay down again, but his eyes still wandered over the city lord intentionally or unintentionally.

Since the other party had doubts, Xiao Lin was not shy about revealing his identity. With the combat power of him and Xiao Hei, the city lord in front of them, let alone a sixth-grade immortal warrior, even if he was a fifth or fourth-grade immortal warrior, might not be able to do anything to them.

This is also where Xiao Lin’s confidence comes from.

Upon hearing this, the city lord smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, there is no need to be nervous. Although the Xianwu Realm and the Dongling Xiuxian Realm are hostile to each other, there has not been a large-scale war in the past ten thousand years. Both sides have tacitly accepted this situation. There are even cultivators from each other gradually entering each other's controlled areas. This is no longer a secret."

"The Dongling Immortal Cultivation World?" Xiao Lin was delighted when he heard this. He originally thought that there were only immortal warriors and no immortal cultivators here, but now it seems that is not the case.

As long as there are immortal cultivators, I may be able to find a way back.

So when Xiao Lin heard this, he said bluntly: "Lord City Lord has misunderstood. Although I am a cultivator, I am not from the Eastern Spiritual Cultivation Realm. I came here by chance from another continent. I am ashamed to say that I am still looking for a way to go back."

"Oh? Could it be that Brother Xiao is not from the Eastern Immortal Continent?"

"So this place is called the Eastern Immortal Continent. I only learned about it from you today. In fact, I came to see you for this very reason. I hope to learn more about this place from you so that I can find a way back. The continent I am on is not the Holy Moon Continent. I wonder if you have ever heard of it?"

"Holy Moon Continent? I have never heard of this place. Actually, this is not surprising. I am just the lord of a small Huiwu City and have never even left the Xianwu Mountains. Besides, Xianwu warriors originally live in a remote corner. Perhaps only the top-level Xianwu warriors from the three major Xianwu sects have heard of the Holy Moon Continent that Brother Xiao mentioned."

Xiao Lin was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still expressed his gratitude. It seemed that he still had to go to the Shengwu Divine Sect.

After knowing that Xiao Lin was not from the Dongling Immortal Realm, he gradually relaxed his vigilance and started chatting with Xiao Lin. He also seemed to be quite interested in the Holy Moon Continent that Xiao Lin mentioned.

In order to dispel his doubts, Xiao Lin told him about some of the situations in the Holy Moon Continent. Of course, Xiao Lin skipped over some of his own affairs, especially his identity.

The mayor of Huiwu City was also very fascinated by what he heard, and his doubts were completely dispelled. In his opinion, it was impossible for a person to describe the affairs of an unfamiliar continent in such detail.

After chatting for an hour, Xiao Lin also began to ask him about some of the situations in the Eastern Immortal Continent.

Through City Lord Shan's narration, Xiao Lin quickly had a general understanding. It turned out that the Eastern Immortal Continent only had two domains, which was much smaller than the Holy Moon Continent. These two domains were the Wild Forest Domain and the Eastern Spirit Domain.

Among them, Huiwu City where Xiao Lin is located belongs to the Wild Forest Domain. The Xianwu Mountains occupy most of the Wild Forest Domain, which can be said to be boundless and extremely vast. The Dongling Domain is different. There are not many mountains. Most of them are plains and some rivers. There are even many swamps and canyons. The terrain is also very complex and changeable.

Most of the cultivators in the Wild Forest Region practice immortal martial arts and follow the path of physical cultivation, but only a few can truly reach the top.

From City Lord Shan, Xiao Lin also roughly understood the level division of immortal warriors, from grade nine to grade one. Grade nine corresponds to the Qi Refining Stage in the world of immortal cultivation, grade eight corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and so on. In other words, a grade one immortal warrior is equivalent to a Mahayana cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation, and possesses the ability to destroy the world.

However, the number of first-grade immortal warriors is also very small. As far as City Lord Shan knows, in the entire Xianwu Mountain Range, there are only three supreme immortal warrior sects that have first-grade immortal warriors.

The third-grade immortal warriors, the second-grade immortal warriors, and the first-grade immortal warriors are also called the upper three-grade immortal warriors.

Xiao Lin then inquired about why he was treated differently for the spirit stones he paid to enter the city, and why he was even ambushed to confirm his identity. This was also something that had been bothering Xiao Lin since he entered the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon hearing this, City Lord Shan burst into laughter, and then began to explain to Xiao Lin.

It turns out that the Wild Forest Region, especially the Xianwu Mountains, is said to have been an ancient battlefield where countless ancient true spirits and even immortal spirits fought a great battle. As to why the war broke out, it is unknown. It is only known that after the war, countless true spirits died, and even a considerable number of immortal spirits died. These ancient creatures possessed extremely powerful bloodlines, and their blood was spilled on the land of the Xianwu Mountains, gradually merging with the underground spiritual veins to form today's Blood Spirit Stone.

This blood spirit stone is also unique to the Xianwu Mountains, and is the source of how immortal warriors use it to improve their blood and qi. However, the low-grade spirit stone that Xiao Lin took out is extremely pure and basically does not exist in the Xianwu Mountains. It only exists in the Eastern Spiritual Domain's immortal cultivation world, so the guards guarding the city suspected it to be a spy and reported it to the city lord, who then sent guards to find out the truth.

After Xiao Lin understood, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that these spirit stones were also different. No wonder he felt that the spirit stones paid by those people entering the city were mixed and impure when he saw them in front of the city gate. Now that he thought about it, they were blood spirit stones that had the blood of some ancient creatures integrated into them.

It is no wonder that such a special training method as Xianwu could be developed here.

Immediately afterwards, City Lord Shan told Xiao Lin about the grievances between the Xianwu World and the Dongling Xiuxian World.

It turns out that Xianwu is a type of cultivation that has only emerged in the past 100,000 years. 100,000 years ago, the Xianwu Mountains were still the world of immortal cultivators, but the spiritual stones produced in the Xianwu Mountains were of lower quality, so the immortal cultivation sects in the Xianwu Mountains were generally weak.

At that time, mortals were ruled by immortal cultivators, and each sect seemed to feel that there was no hope for the great path. Many immortal cultivators actually began to enjoy themselves. They conscripted a large number of mortals to build cities and palaces, and even built a large number of city walls in order to resist the war beasts in the Xianwu Mountains. These city walls were hundreds of feet high and stretched for tens of thousands of miles, which made mortals miserable. Countless mortals did hard labor all their lives, and death became a relief for them.

Just over 100,000 years ago, a genius appeared in the Xianwu Mountains. He created the Xianwu technique and became the first Xianwu warrior. He was also the first person in the Xianwu Mountains to cultivate to the first level of Xianwu warrior. Not only was his own realm powerful, but he also recruited dozens of disciples and taught them the Xianwu technique he created. After thousands of years of development, the strength of the Xianwu warriors has increased exponentially.

Since immortal warriors do not need spiritual roots to practice, ordinary people can gain enormous power by practicing immortal martial arts. As a result, more and more mortals join the Shengwu Divine Sect created by this man. The strength of the Shengwu Divine Sect continues to grow, and since most of the people in the sect are mortals who practice, they also begin to take care of and protect the mortals in secular countries.

This undoubtedly affected the interests of the immortal cultivation sects. The immortal warriors, who were originally looked down upon by the immortal cultivators, were able to overwhelm the immortal cultivators as their strength increased. This also made the immortal cultivation sects not only begin to pay attention to the threat of the immortal warrior sects, but also suppress them from all aspects.

A war between immortal cultivators and immortal warriors finally broke out in the Xianwu Mountains.

This war lasted for ten thousand years, with both sides winning and losing. However, as more and more mortals joined the Xianwu Sect, Xianwu Sects sprang up like mushrooms after a rain in the Xianwu Mountains, and the balance of the war began to tilt in favor of the Xianwu Sect.

Finally, one hundred thousand years ago, the immortal sects in the Xianwu Mountains were defeated and retreated into the Eastern Spirit Realm. They built a large array of prohibitions and resisted the attack of the Xianwu Sect. Moreover, the Eastern Spirit immortal world was originally very powerful. Although the Xianwu Sect drove out the immortal sects in the Xianwu Mountains, it was unable to occupy the entire Eastern Spirit Realm, so it began to stop its activities, train younger generations of immortal warriors, consolidate the strength of the Xianwu Sect in the Xianwu Mountains, and guard against the counterattack of the Eastern Spirit immortal world.

This went on for tens of thousands of years, and the Xianwu Sect gradually gained a firm foothold. The Dongling immortal world was unable to invade the Wilderness Forest Realm, and similarly, the Xianwu Sect was unable to invade the Dongling Realm. Gradually, a stalemate formed, which continues to this day.

Especially in the past ten thousand years, wars have basically not broken out again, and the hatred of one hundred thousand years ago has gradually disappeared in the long river of history and is rarely mentioned. Nowadays, many cities have appeared near the border between the Wild Forest Domain and the Eastern Spiritual Domain. In these cities, immortal cultivators and immortal warriors can be seen everywhere.

It has to be said that the ability of immortal cultivators to refine magical weapons is far stronger than that of immortal warriors. After all, the history of immortal cultivation is much longer. Blood weapons were first refined by immortal cultivators, and they can better accommodate the power of qi and blood, thereby allowing immortal warriors with bare hands to exert powerful combat power.

Similarly, the immortal cultivation world also covets the skills of immortal warriors. After all, the skills of immortal warriors can greatly enhance the strength of the body, cleanse the marrow and strengthen the tendons and bones. They are much more mysterious than the skills practiced by many body cultivators. In the past thousand years, there have even gradually appeared cultivators who practice both immortal and martial arts. They can not only drive magical instruments, but also fight with their physical bodies. Such existences are very troublesome for both the immortal martial arts world and the immortal cultivation world.

The fusion between the two also further melted the gap between immortal warriors and immortal cultivators, and even the three supreme immortal martial arts sects, led by them, are negotiating with the leaders of several immortal sects in the Dongling immortal cultivation world, discussing how to eliminate hatred between each other and reopen the two domains, so as to break down the artificial barriers between immortal martial arts and immortal ways, and allow immortal martial arts and immortal ways to continue to flourish.

However, at this critical moment, something suddenly happened. The son of the leader of the Shengwu Sect was found dead in Lingwu City. Lingwu City was right at the junction of the Huanglin Domain and the Dongling Domain. The scars on his body were obviously caused by magic weapons. This led to the sudden termination of the negotiations. Not only that, the entire Xianwu Mountains began to be under martial law, and strict investigations were carried out on the immortal spies who had sneaked in. At the same time, the border between the two domains began to become tense, and the situation was tense.

City Lord Shan also showed a helpless expression when he spoke of this. It was obvious that he also hoped that the two domains would reconcile, so as to completely resolve the gap between the Immortal Martial Realm and the Immortal Way.

"When a cultivator kills someone, would he leave the body behind? It's impossible that the other party doesn't know how to destroy the body?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression and asked.

"That's right. This is also the reason why the Shengwu Divine Sect has not directly declared war on the Eastern Spiritual Territory. However, it is an indisputable fact that his son died at the hands of an immortal cultivator. Right now, the Eastern Spiritual Immortal Cultivation World is also very troubled. They can't figure out whether it is a personal grudge or someone is deliberately destroying the reconciliation between the two domains. At present, several bigwigs in the Eastern Spiritual Cultivation World have issued an order to track down the murderer and even offered a reward of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones for clues, but there has been no progress yet."

Xiao Lin then understood why he was considered a spy. It turned out that he happened to encounter this sensitive moment.

It seems that now is not a good time for me to enter the Shengwu Sect.

But Xiao Lin didn't want to change his decision. He wanted to give it a try anyway.

The two chatted for another half an hour, and Xiao Lin took the opportunity to inquire about the locations of the mountain gates of the three supreme immortal martial arts sects, then he stood up and said goodbye and left.

City Lord Shan did not continue to try to persuade Xiao Lin to stay, but instead sent him to the gate of his mansion, and the two said goodbye to each other.

After Xiao Lin left the City Lord's Mansion and disappeared at the end of the street, the guard who attacked Xiao Lin walked out from the side door and bowed to Shan Xin and said, "Lord City Lord, this person's identity is suspicious, and the Holy Martial Sect once issued a Holy Martial Order that all immortal cultivators found in the Wild Forest Territory must be killed. Why did the Lord City Lord let this person go?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Xin glared at the guard fiercely and said angrily, "Are you ordering me to do something?"

The guard was so frightened that his face turned pale and he knelt down hurriedly: "I dare not, but I am confused."

"Hmph." Shan Xin's expression eased a little, and he said, "There is no magical aura on this person. This city lord was just trying to trick him. I didn't expect that he is really an immortal cultivator. The fact that he can make this city lord unable to sense his magical information is enough to show that this person is unfathomable. And didn't you notice the big black dog that is inseparable from him?"

"Is there something peculiar about that big black dog?"

"Hmph, it's more than just strange. When this city lord said that its master was a cultivator, the big black dog showed murderous intent. But it was that murderous look that actually gave this city lord a warning. Although the big black dog is not a martial beast, its scariness is probably even greater than that of its master."

The guards were also stunned when they heard this, as they did not expect that the ugly big black dog could be so terrifying.

Thinking about how he had launched a sneak attack and then been restrained by that person, unable to move, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

“Take the seal of this city lord and go to the Shengwu Sect and report the situation of this person in detail. Although this city lord will not take action, there are naturally more powerful people to eliminate him. In this way, it will not be counted as this city lord violating the Shengwu Order.” Shan Xin said with a grim face.
