Chapter 1977
Chapter 1977: Chapter 1536: Who is the Nine Sages Techniques?_2 Chapter 1977: Chapter 1536: Who is the Nine Sages Techniques?_2 It seemed that all four of them failed to notice.
The moment he entered, Jiang Hao felt that all the spiritual energy of Tao was sealed off.
This place suppressed everything, rendering one unable to cast Dao techniques and spells.
It seemed that only Body techniques could be used here.
This reminded Jiang Hao of the Abyssal Sea.
Indeed, it was Cheng Yun's territory after all.
He needed to be more careful.
Of course, while this place could suppress others, it couldn't suppress him.
After all, he relied on the Moon-Slaying saber technique, and within the Great Overarching Heaven was the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.
That made it even harder to suppress.
“Madam, how do you feel?” Jiang Hao looked towards Heavenly Note Sect.
“A bit difficult to mobilize, but not a big problem,” Heavenly Note Sect responded.
It had an effect, but they had not completely lost their combat ability.
“Somewhat similar to the Abyssal Sea,” Jiang Hao reminded.
“Related to that person?”
“Hmm, but I don't know for sure.”
“Can we find another river here?”
“Yes, it seems that it's because of the existence of that river that this piece of space was pulled over.”
As he spoke, Jiang Hao stepped onto the grass.
This place wasn't newly created space, but rather a space with blue skies, the earth, and rivers and mountains.
Whoosh!
The moment Jiang Hao and others entered.
The sound of the river was transmitted over.
When Jiang Hao looked down at the river again, he found that the previously faint and intermittent river had become substantial.
Not only that, but the urgent sound of the water was also transmitted.
There were even fish jumping inside it.
The river, which was originally not to be crossed at will, had now become easily crossable.
At that moment, Jiang Hao felt someone had locked onto him.
Looking up, he saw Mr. Xie and a few others.
“Friend Xing, what are you doing?” Jiang Hao asked.
“It seems that Friend Xing is not prepared?” Mr. Xie asked.
Jiang Hao nodded slightly: “Yes, I did not come for this river, so naturally I am not prepared at all.”
Mr. Xie regarded Jiang Hao seriously: “Then Friend Xing must be careful. This is not a good place, as it repels the Tao and cuts off spiritual energy, making it a dead end for fellow disciples.
One slight carelessness could lead to death.
However, there are numerous opportunities here, it's a place of fortune creation. Friend Xing could walk around or try fishing, you might gain an impressive fortune.”
“Thank you, Friend Xing.” Jiang Hao gave his thanks with a salute.
The Noble Fairy frowned, not understanding why they didn't just kill these two people.
That would make things much safer for them.
Mr. Xie actually wanted to make a move, but hesitated and then gave up.
The Mobile Major seemed also to be not so simple.
Even though they repeatedly emphasized that the other was just a name.
But…
The other party had mentioned that name.
What if?
What if Mobile Major was a false name he borrowed? What then?
No matter how many grand divisions of oneself there are, are they enough for him to kill with one move?
Therefore, even if one has guessed wrong, one cannot act here.
And if one acts, it cannot be one's own hand.
Jiang Hao originally intended to continue along the river to see other rivers.
Then, following another river, leave this space and finally get closer to that place.
Thereby finding the corpse collector and the State Preceptor.
But before he could take a step, he saw strong men coming their way.
They were bare-chested on one side.
When they saw Jiang Hao and the others, they were somewhat astonished, and then became vigilant, shouting loudly: “”@#%^&”
Initially, Jiang Hao hadn't given much thought to these people, but the moment he heard their voices, he froze.
Staring incredulously ahead.
What were they saying?
He completely couldn't understand, but this language was that of the Heavenly Spirit Clan.
Furthermore, it was quite different from the language of the Heavenly Spirit Clan.
He couldn't understand the content at all.
After hesitating, Jiang Hao started to walk forward.
He wanted to understand the language of the other party.
But as he approached, the sound from the other side came again: “”&…%Y=#”
Continuing in multitude.
They seemed to be in a hurry: “”You are &%Y=##”
Understood two words?
Jiang Hao immediately checked the surrounding space and found it was distorted, his voice seemed to have been twisted too.
Without hesitation, he continued to move thousands of feet, while the other's voice came through again: “Stop, I told you to *&%Y=# stop.”
Jiang Hao had broken through the twisted space.
At this moment he heard the two people's voices again: “Who are you? Don't you understand human speech?”
“I understand perfectly.” Jiang Hao spoke in the language of the Heavenly Spirit Clan.
At this moment, he finally realized why he hadn't been able to understand what the other was saying no matter how much he studied.
The voice had been distorted.
Yet it sounded normal.
So…
It was impossible to translate all along.
Turns out, one needed to correct it first before translating.
“Then why are you still approaching?” At this time, the burly man looked at Jiang Hao and said coldly: “Foreigner, although I don't know how you got here, you are not welcome in this place.
However, you can go to the mines, there might be someone recruiting you there, we do not welcome you here.
Don't think that just because you have cultivation, you can use your strength here. Once you arrive, you will not be able to use your powers.
As time passes, you will only end up not much different from us.
Besides, I advise you to try to leave.
If you stay here for a month, you will never be able to leave.”
“How does the friend know that one cannot leave after a month?” The middle-aged man who followed asked.
The burly man saw light emanating from the person and immediately said with caution: “Because people like you often come here, and without exception, they were all accidentally brought here, either by entering caves or falling into water, or on the mountains.
In short, the ways they come here are strange and varied, but there are none who have left.
During that time, someone said that after more than a month, the strength in the body can no longer be sensed.
Then it becomes impossible to leave.
You better look for a way out.”
“What is this place?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
“Stone Village. From generation to generation, we only do one thing: carve statues for the sages.” The muscular man said.
Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.
Sages?
What kind of sages?
“Can you take us to see the sages?” Jiang Hao asked.
The two hesitated.
Jiang Hao continued: “We know the way out, so we do not intend to stay here.
We just came to experience this place.
Simply put, I'm just passing through.”
Hearing this, the muscular man scoffed: “This is my first time seeing someone who pretends like you. Others are worried or talk tough, but you make it sound so easy, just passing through.
But I also know you must have a purpose.
I've heard from some elders before that some people come to this place on their own, saying they are seeking some kind of opportunity.
But in the end, they meet the same result, unable to leave this place.
There are even those who became a person of our village.
You might be such people.”
After hesitating a moment, the man said: “I'll take you, but I advise you not to make a move.
Don't think you're strong just because you have something up your sleeve; we are no less than you.”
The others might not believe this, but Jiang Hao did.
He was without the Tao, so he saw it all the clearer.
Their physical bodies were somewhat strange; if placed outside, moving mountains and filling the seas would probably not be too difficult.
Yet they could only stay here carving saint statues.
It made him wonder.
Along the way, Jiang Hao asked: “Who are your sages?”
“A sage is a sage.” The muscular man replied.
“How are they chosen?” Jiang Hao casually asked.
“They are not chosen, they are sages bestowed by heaven.” The muscular man looked towards the heavens and said: “When a sage is bestowed by heaven, a saintly light suddenly appears and their silhouette will emerge in the sky above our village.
What we need to do is to carve out the silhouette of the sage.
This takes a long time, the emergence of the sage will bless us.
Allowing us to survive on this land.
If one day all the sages die, we won't be able to live on.”
“Sages can die?” Mr. Xie was somewhat curious.
“Sages are not immortal.” The muscular man said: “Every now and then a sage will appear.
But sages cannot live forever.
Sages will die, the statues will crack.
But the sages can also emit the radiance of sages; recently, the latest sage emitted endless golden light, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
We are now finally carving more silhouettes of the sages, so we are carving for the sage.
It's nearly complete, once finished, we will be able to see the appearance of the sage.
This is the first sage in history; the previous sages never had such radiance.”
The muscular man spoke quite excitedly.
Jiang Hao was also very curious about who this sage really was.
Cheng Yun?
Or another strong entity?
