I Have A City In An Alternate World

Chapter 4095: The secret realm of Tiankeng (1)

The scorching sun was like fire, scorching the earth.

As far as the eye could see, the seedlings in the fields were withered, the leaves had dried up and fallen, and the ditches and lakes all revealed cracked river beds.

The air was extremely dry, without a trace of moisture, making people feel uncomfortable even when breathing.

The sudden outbreak of a great drought caused the people to live in misery, and countless living beings died from the drought.

The people were begging and praying for a good rain, or else they might end up starving to death.

Ordinary people had it the toughest. They had to rely on the heavens for a living. When the years went by, they would start to worry about their livelihood.

If the country was in turmoil, it would be even more difficult, and the days would be extremely difficult.

If it was more serious, there would be countless corpses, or blood would flow, and the White bones would be eaten by the barbarians.

The ignorant people did not know that many natural disasters were actually sinister man-made disasters.

His seemingly peaceful life was actually because the truth was covered up. Once it was revealed, it would be shocking.

The miserable people did not know that not too far away from them, a major event that shocked the cultivation world was happening.

Just a month ago, a Red Star fell from the sky, piercing through a Lake and reaching the Earth’s core.

At that time, the commotion was not small and alarmed many people, but they did not know the reason.

Only the cultivators nearby had discovered the falling meteorite and locked onto its position in a very short time.

When the cultivators got closer, they discovered a shocking scene. The lake had disappeared, leaving only a deep sinkhole.

The surrounding soil of the sinkhole was covered with crystals, and there were even some resplendent gemstones left behind. With one look, one could tell that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

It was used to assist in cultivation, and it actually produced twice the results with half the effort. It was simply a treasure bestowed by the heavens.

His greed rose, and he wanted more.

The cultivators at that time tried to go deep into the sinkhole to investigate, but they felt an irresistible heat.

The temperature was extremely high. He could still withstand the first step, but the next step would be like burning his body.

Even cultivators couldn’t withstand such high temperatures. The slightest hesitation would turn them into ashes.

The cultivators had no choice but to wait outside the sinkhole and wait for the high temperature to subside before going in.

Unexpectedly, as the high temperature gradually receded, strange scenes kept happening. With the sinkhole as the center, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants kept appearing, and they grew exuberantly.

However, the periphery of the sinkhole seemed to have been drained of all vitality and gradually entered a state of drought and desolation.

Such an abnormal scene did not cause the cultivators to panic. On the contrary, they were pleasantly surprised.

The surrounding fields were barren. Whether the people lived or died had nothing to do with them.

Their attention was all on the exotic flowers and plants.

One had to know that each of these flowers, grasses, and herbs was extremely valuable. Ordinary cultivators had no chance of seeing them.

However, at this moment, the spiritual herbs around the sinkhole were growing in large patches, as if it was a natural herb garden.

As long as he waited for time, when the medicinal herbs matured, he would definitely be able to obtain endless benefits.

The cultivators were eager to protect the treasures. They immediately cordoned off the area and forbade anyone from approaching.

At the same time, they tried to cover up the secret of this place and didn’t want outsiders to know.

However, he didn’t expect the treasure light to rush into the sky and couldn’t be blocked at all. Even from ten thousand miles away, it could be easily seen.

The cultivators who did not know about this or did not pay much attention to it were all attracted by the treasure light that shot into the sky.

They immediately moved and rushed to the location of the sinkhole.

The cultivators who had first discovered this place had long been imprisoned, and the owner had become a nearby medium-sized sect.

The cultivators of this sect strictly forbade any outsiders from approaching, or they would immediately attack.

In a short period of time, hundreds of cultivators had lost their lives.

The blood of cultivators contained special spiritual power, which made the exotic flowers and rare plants grow more and more exuberant.

As time passed, the scene here became more and more shocking, and the treasure light became more and more resplendent.

The scenery around the sinkhole changed drastically, turning it into a secret realm. Exotic flowers and plants were everywhere, and strange beasts would crawl out from the ground from time to time.

Outside, however, it was a barren land with mountains and rivers. The vitality of all living things had been extracted by the secret realm.

The medium-sized sects that occupied this place had been annihilated by stronger sects, but there was no new owner.

All the major sects of this world had gathered here, all wanting to monopolize the treasure land, but no one had the ability to do so.

In the end, they came to a decision to explore the secret realm together and strictly ensure that the news would not spread.

The cultivators in this world knew about the existence of the greater world and were afraid that the benefits would be taken away by the cultivators from the outside world.

The Tiankeng mystery realm had been explored many times by cultivators, but they only explored the outer area each time.

They wanted to go deep into the sinkhole, but they couldn’t withstand the huge pressure. Even the most powerful cultivators couldn’t go deep into the sinkhole.

The only thing they could do was to send elite troops to explore the depths of the sinkhole.

The gains were quite astonishing, causing the various sects to be overjoyed.

The cultivation resources in this world were not particularly rich, and the cultivators had a hard time.

The distribution of resources required a queue. Good things should be given priority to the elites and those who had connections. Once there were spiritual herbs, it would cause a frenzy.

There were more wolves than meat, and the days of cultivators were not good.

The appearance of the Tiankeng mystery realm could be said to have solved the urgent need and was enough to improve the overall strength of the cultivators in this world.

During the process of searching, cultivators could see countless treasures in the depths of the sinkhole, but they could not enter because of the pressure.

And during this period of time, the pressure was still increasing, and it was getting more and more difficult to enter the sinkhole.

If things continued like this, it might not take long for them to be kicked out of the secret realm.

The cultivators of the sects whose greed had been aroused were all extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

Until one day, a cultivator suddenly realized that there must be something wrong with the investigation method.

He had been asking for something but didn’t give anything in return. It was obviously not right.

Perhaps the secret realm had a spirit and was very dissatisfied with this kind of demand, which was why it would reject cultivators from entering.

The only way to solve the problem was to offer a sacrifice.

This cultivator was an elite of the sect and had a certain right to speak. After having such an idea, he immediately informed the sect master.

At this moment, all the grandmasters were already in a terrible fix.

They were envious of the precious natural treasures, but they had no way to obtain them.

The increasingly severe rejection force drove the cultivators out of the secret realm. They could not even touch the edge of the sinkhole.

At this rate, the Tiankeng mystery realm would become a forbidden place sooner or later, and no cultivator would be able to get close to it.

That was not the only problem. If they continued to delay, the news of the Tiankeng mystery realm would be leaked sooner or later.

By then, when the high-level cultivators from the outside world entered, the local cultivators would not be able to monopolize any benefits.

There was even a possibility that he would be directly excluded and not even be able to get a sip of hot soup.

The greed of cultivators was like a bottomless abyss that would never be filled.

Seeing that the benefits were getting further and further away, the group of sect leaders were burning with anxiety. This was their own opportunity, how could they let others take it away?

However, no matter how hard they thought about it, they couldn’t find a solution to the problem. One of the sect leaders even had his hair turn white overnight.

This elite disciple’s suggestion immediately attracted great attention.

The sect Masters felt that it was very likely that the Tiankeng mystery realm had used this disciple to give them a hint.

If that was the case, then they had to take it seriously.

Even if it wasn’t like that, he could still try this method. Perhaps it really could solve the problem.

Some cultivators had mentioned before that in the process of exploring the sky, they would occasionally feel a trace of illusion and claimed that there was a God at the bottom of the sinkhole.

If that was the case, the unknown God at the bottom of the pit might really need a rich sacrifice.
