The fourth layer of Tianyuan has several high-grade spiritual veins and many spiritual herbs and flowers. The main material for condensing pills, the Earth Spirit Fruit, is most likely to be found there.
As for the White Phoenix Desert on this third layer, there is nothing but wind and sand. Even the number of wild beasts is extremely small. As long as you are careful not to be swept into a giant tornado, there is not much danger.
This desert is actually a relatively safe place, but its area is not small. Therefore, Zhang Ling flew at a low altitude, constantly hurrying on his way.
He traveled for a whole day, and the White Wind Desert was full of strong winds, which greatly affected his speed.
However, he also traveled more than five thousand miles in one day. This period was relatively calm, and he did not encounter any danger.
At this time, Zhang Ling was hiding under a sand dune sheltered from the wind, using magic to condense sand and gravel to form a sand cave about ten feet in size. He was meditating to recover the spiritual power he had consumed throughout the day.
After recovering for more than an hour, his spiritual power had recovered to about 90%. He was about to get up and set off again when he suddenly sensed something and quickly held his breath and concentrated.
Just outside, a red escape light landed on a sand dune not far away, revealing a figure.
This was a middle-aged male cultivator. He was wearing rattan armor and a high crown, looking like a general, and riding a fire horse about ten feet tall.
This fire horse was completely red, covered with black and red scales, and its hooves were burning with flames, making it look extraordinary.
The man paused for a moment, then a neigh was heard, and the fire horse under his crotch turned into a ball of fire, galloping out and instantly crossing a distance of more than ten feet. From a distance, it looked like a ball of fire speeding across the desert.
After the man left for a mile or two, Zhang Ling showed himself from the side and glanced at the direction in which the man had left from afar.
It had been several days since he entered the secret realm. Apart from encountering Zhou Tai and others in the poisonous mist swamp, this was the first time he had encountered other cultivators in the past few days.
Although he had hidden his figure just now, he also observed that this person was a Golden Core intermediate stage cultivator, and the black horse under his crotch was only a fourth-order, but it was not an ordinary spirit beast but a Dragon Scale Horse.
This horse is also a spirit beast with Jiaolong bloodline. It is said that its adult strength can reach the fifth-order. If carefully cultivated, it may be possible to cultivate it into a seventh-order spirit beast within hundreds of years.
The Dragon Scale Horse has extremely fast running speed and excellent endurance. It is a very good spirit beast for transportation and seems to be able to master fire escape techniques. It is a spirit beast with great potential.
Zhang Ling thought to himself that if he could have such a spirit beast for transportation, he would not have to travel so hard. At the same time, he patted a spirit beast bag on his waist, which contained the Twin-Tailed Cat.
His spirit beast is a mutated spirit beast with extraordinary potential. However, the Twin-Tailed Cat is naturally lazy. As soon as it entered the White Wind Desert, its laziness broke out, and it went directly into the spirit beast bag to sleep soundly.
Zhang Ling was quite helpless about this. Of course, he could also forcibly summon this beast out.
Standing on the side, thinking wildly for a while, Zhang Ling no longer delayed and moved towards the west with a flash of green light under his feet.
The cultivator who had just ridden the Dragon Scale Horse was also heading west. It seems that this person has a certain understanding of this place. Their destinations are the same. Fortunately, this person is ahead, which is equivalent to exploring the road for him.
Zhang Ling followed behind unhurriedly, deliberately lagging behind a certain distance.
In this way, he traveled peacefully for another two hours, when he suddenly sensed a wave of spiritual power coming from ahead. He couldn't help but stop and explore the front with his divine sense.
He discovered that the male cultivator riding the Dragon Scale Horse had encountered a group of wild beasts.
This person was trapped in a rolling sandy area. The sandy area he was in had turned into a quicksand of several miles in size. Pfft pfft pfft sounds kept ringing, and huge wild beasts jumped out of the quicksand.
Zhang Ling had never seen these wild beasts before, and they looked quite strange.
They were flat, strange-looking fish. Their entire bodies were earth-yellow, and each one was about ten feet in size, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, making them look quite ferocious. These strange fish also had a pale white horn on the top of their heads, like a sharp thorn.
The strange fish moved very fast, swimming with the quicksand, besieging the man in place. Zhang Ling glanced slightly and found that these strange fish were equivalent to second and third-order monsters.
The man riding the Dragon Scale Horse was a Golden Core intermediate stage expert with rich fighting experience. He held a black spear in his hand, waving it into a black wind wheel, shooting out large swaths of black light.
Circles of black light rippled out. As soon as the strange fish approached, they were cut into pieces, as if they had hit a blade. For a time, he also killed many strange fish, and the Dragon Scale Horse under his crotch flashed fire from its mouth, spitting flames. Its speed did not decrease, but it galloped all the way, crossing a sand dune and reaching the other side in the blink of an eye.
However, the quicksand was not formed naturally, but moved with the group of strange fish. Strange fish kept rushing out of the sand to attack, as if endlessly chasing after the man.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Ling frowned slightly and went in another direction, intending to bypass the quicksand to prevent being besieged by these strange fish.
He flew at a low altitude at a fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, he flew seven or eight miles.
But to Zhang Ling's dismay, he also encountered some strange fish attacks, and strange fish would shoot out of the remaining sand from time to time.
Releasing his divine sense to scan the vicinity, it seemed that within a hundred miles, it had turned into a quicksand area with countless strange fish swimming in it.
In the sand layer, in addition to strange fish, there were also some giant scorpions and black sand worms like earthworms. These were mostly wild beasts with second and third-order strength, and they seemed to have gone crazy and all appeared on the surface of the sand layer.
Many wild beasts were fleeing in all directions, as if they were frightened. Zhang Ling's expression was solemn, and a sense of crisis arose in his heart.
Some kind of change seemed to have occurred here, and this situation was definitely unusual.
Rumbling sounds entered his ears.
The sky was also quite abnormal. In addition to the sweeping strong winds, the clouds in the sky had become much thicker at some point, and thunder was constantly rumbling, with lightning shuttling through the clouds. It looked like a storm was about to come.
Aowu...
Suddenly, a muffled howl resounded in all directions. This sound came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where it came from for a while.
The sound seemed to contain some kind of power. Hearing it in his ears, it made people's minds shake. Zhang Ling's body swayed, and the spiritual power on his body became sluggish, almost causing his magic to lose control and fall into the quicksand below.
He quickly circulated his skills, and then he felt much better.
At the same time, he also slowed down his speed and released all his divine sense to look around, but apart from the endless quicksand and the wild beasts in it, there seemed to be no other situation.
The wild beasts in the sand heard this sound and fled even more frantically into the distance.
Suddenly, with a bang, a blue-black scorpion with a body size of five or six feet rushed out of the quicksand twenty feet away from him. It was actually a sixth-order wild beast.
This giant scorpion turned into a ball of black light and was also fleeing quickly. Further away, Zhang Ling also discovered four or five high-level wild beasts, all running frantically.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Ling flicked his sleeves, and the Two Instruments Gourd appeared in his hand. He hit it with spiritual power and released a small ball of Heavenly Star Sand, wrapping his whole body. At the same time, he released three flying swords, which surrounded his body.
Just after finishing these, he sensed that the sky darkened, and the thick clouds in the sky formed circles of wavy clouds, pressing down. Below the clouds, gusts of strong wind raged.
With a loud bang, a huge lightning bolt from the clouds struck the quicksand, directly blasting a large pit in the quicksand.
Aowu... another long and strange beast roar came, this sound seemed to come from the ancient times, both dull and shocking.
Fortunately, Zhang Ling was prepared this time and was not affected too much, but his face became even more gloomy.
There must be great danger here, and he didn't want to delay any longer. He urged the magic in his hand, and the three flying swords outside his body quickly rotated, releasing thirty or forty sword lights. The sword lights were in the same direction, flying out quickly, like green streamers.
Zhang Ling was in it flying, and the speed of escape instantly increased by more than half. This was the sword escape technique he practiced, used to quickly escape this area. In a dozen breaths of time, he flew four or five miles.
At the same time, he heard continuous roars of beasts, and the sounds became more and more real. He finally heard the source of the sound, which came from under the quicksand. It seemed that there was a huge wild beast under it, about to break out of the sand.
Looking at the wild beasts constantly escaping in the quicksand, he was even more convinced of this guess, and pushed the sword formula to make the sword escape technique even faster.
After a while, Zhang Ling flew over the quicksand area. The sand further away was still calm and had not turned into quicksand, but the strong winds around him were getting stronger and stronger.
He couldn't help but look back at the quicksand area he had just been in. At this moment, a large area of the ground was flying with sand and dust, setting off a sandstorm connecting the sky and the earth.
This strange celestial phenomenon made Zhang Ling dare not stay in place, and flew a distance to the distance.
Behind him, the sandstorm covered the sky and the sun, dyeing a large area gray-yellow. Between the rolling thick clouds, a series of thick blue lightning fell.
Seeing this kind of power of heaven and earth, Zhang Ling swallowed his saliva, wondering what was going on. He was very curious and always paid attention to the situation there.
After a cup of tea, Zhang Ling had flown a hundred miles away, and at the same time sensed that the surrounding heaven and earth aura had become紊乱.
The sandstorm was just flowing and rolling in place, setting off a hundred-zhang-high sand wall, with a 60-70 li atmosphere attached. The momentum was huge, and there were shocking beast roars in it.
Zhang Ling suddenly stopped the escape light and looked over there with a horrified expression, only to see a huge beast in the sandstorm roaring up to the sky.
That was a real behemoth, bigger than any wild beast or monster he had ever seen.
Most of the behemoth's body was hidden in the quicksand, and its true face could not be seen clearly. But it revealed countless huge tentacles, like countless giant snakes, roaring up to the sky. The exposed tentacles alone were two or three hundred feet long.
A series of thick lightning bolts constantly struck this beast, and a layer of thunder and fire covered the beast's entire body.
The behemoth kept roaring, and a layer of strange black and yellow light appeared on its body, resisting the power of thunder and lightning.
At this moment, Zhang Ling was far away from there, and his divine sense could not carefully check this beast, but he could still sense the amazing pressure from the beast. It was even stronger than the aura on the old monster Yuanying, like a transformed monster, appearing in its original form.
Could this be... the Transformation Thunder Tribulation!
The "Transformation Thunder Tribulation" is the thunder tribulation that monsters with seventh-order peak strength will experience when breaking through upwards. Once the tribulation is successful, it will be a old monster comparable to the Yuanying level. It is the strength of the demon king in Zangyao Valley.
And the eighth-order monsters can also transform into human form, and their strength is much stronger than ordinary human Yuanying.
It's just... this is the barren domain Tianyuan, will the wild beasts also pass the Transformation Thunder Tribulation?
Zhang Ling suddenly had this question in his mind. At the same time, he released his divine sense to carefully sense the giant beast over there.
At this moment, the heaven and earth aura over there was chaotic, and there was even violent thunder light. The divine sense was greatly affected, but in an instant, he also sensed that the giant beast was indeed flowing with strong spiritual power and turbid air. It was indeed a wild beast.
Aowu Aowu
A series of giant roars came from over there, and a series of thick lightning fell from the sky, and the giant beast's spiritual light flashed, and the huge tentacles swayed wildly, setting off layers of sandstorms.
Large swaths of sand and dust gathered above the giant beast, constantly flowing, and actually formed a gray-white stone wall to resist the lightning falling from the wound.
Zhang Ling was even more certain that this beast was really passing the thunder tribulation.
A wild beast, seemed to be passing the Transformation Thunder Tribulation. He was both shocked and felt a little weird.
In some ancient books, it is indeed recorded that there are wild beasts in the wild domain that are comparable to the Yuanying level, but it has never been heard that wild beasts can also pass the Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
After carefully sensing it, he found that the aura emitted from the giant beast was several times stronger than that of the seventh-order wild beast, and it was probably comparable to the eighth-order monster at the Yuanying level.
He was not sure whether this beast was passing the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, but he must be passing the Thunder Tribulation, that was certain.
Cultivators cultivate against the sky, and so do monsters. And Thunder Tribulation is not only the Transformation Thunder Tribulation experienced by monsters.
It is said that originally, human cultivators had to experience Thunder Tribulation every three hundred years when breaking through to the Yuanying level, but after the great change in the heaven and earth aura, this Thunder Tribulation disappeared. Some cultivators speculated that it was because the heaven and earth aura was not as good as in ancient times that it could not attract Thunder Tribulation.
In addition to the Thunder Tribulation caused by this breakthrough in realm, changes in the heaven and earth spiritual power and earth veins will also lead to celestial phenomena and Thunder Tribulation, and cultivators practicing against the sky secret techniques will also attract Thunder Tribulation.
Often this kind of secret technique is harmful to heaven and harmony, and most of them belong to the magic and ghost ways secret techniques.
In the cultivation world, there are records of magic powers killing millions of living beings to sacrifice magic weapons and attracting Thunder Tribulation. Often, they end up in death and dissipation.
Today, he actually encountered a wild beast going through Thunder Tribulation. Zhang Ling didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky. This kind of thing is probably difficult for old monsters Yuanying to see, but he encountered it.
Although he knew that staying next to him was somewhat dangerous, he still paid attention to the changes of the giant beast.
At the same time, an idea popped up in his mind. If this beast failed to pass the tribulation, even if it did not die, it would be seriously injured. Maybe he could kill this beast at that time and get a lot of rare materials.
Zhang Ling thought wildly for a while, but still denied this idea.
