The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2963 No Man's Land

Senior Black Sparrow has returned.

Zheng Tuo couldn't help but tell Hei Que his thoughts, hoping that Hei Que could help keep things under control.

no problem.

Black Sparrow readily agreed.

Hear this.

Zheng Tuo hesitated slightly.

"I think we should wait until the senior's injury has fully healed before making any decisions."

He has always been worried about this.

Black Sparrow's injury seems quite serious; if it's not healed properly, it could cause a lot of trouble.

It's better to be safe than sorry; it's always good to play it safe.

"No need. With the Vermilion Bird Formation in place, my combat strength will not be diminished. Just go ahead and do it."

Black Sparrow made such a bold statement, but Zheng Tuo wasn't listening at all.

He remained cautious and did not rush to seek out Shenyang Tianfeng to implement his plan.

He got up and returned to the Five Elements Great World.

The Five Elements Great World at this time was completely different from before.

The four elements—metal, wood, water, and fire—are all interconnected. With the support of these four elements in the Five Elements Great World, he can clearly feel himself becoming stronger.

correct.

The Five Elements Great World was able to provide him with clear feedback when it absorbed the four types of power.

That feedback transformed into power, which flowed into his body.

This made him want to go into seclusion and cultivate himself.

No wonder young Breakers are rarely seen in the Primordial Immortal Realm; most of the Breakers that can be seen are elderly powerhouses.

The reason is here.

The young wallbreakers all cultivate themselves in their own vast world.

Firstly, using the Great World helps one cultivate faster and more safely. In one's own Great World, one will not be easily disturbed, and even if someone launches a strong attack, one will be able to detect it immediately.

Secondly, when cultivating in one's own great world, the loss of lifespan will be reduced, which is equivalent to sealing oneself in it, thereby increasing lifespan.

He now intends to go into seclusion to cultivate, but he is still uneasy because he has not yet found a suitable place for the last earth element.

Metallic properties devour the metallic power of the underground world within the Wanbao Jedi.

The wood element can absorb the wood element power on the World Tree's leaf continent.

The water attribute can devour the water attribute power in the primordial celestial river.

The fire attribute can devour the fire attribute power of the 80,000-mile-long Flaming Mountain within the Divine Sun Star.

Only the earth element remains, and it's unclear where to go.

Although one can cultivate with only four attributes, by simply transforming the four powers into the earth attribute to maintain the balance of the five elements and thus cultivate, this method is time-consuming and laborious, and the cultivation is not thorough.

If only I could find a place with a large amount of earth element to cultivate in.

Are we really going to the no-man's-land?

He was somewhat worried about this.

Even those who break through barriers rarely go to the no-man's-land, because there are hardly any spiritual plants or magical treasures there.

The no-man's-land is not only devoid of people, but also a death zone with nothing at all.

But what I lack most right now is the earth element, and unfortunately, the no-man's land has earth element power.

Thinking about this, it seems I have no choice but to go.

finally.

He still decided to go to the no-man's-land, and before that, he naturally did his homework.

With two powerful figures, Black Sparrow and Vermilion Bird, by his side, he patiently inquired about the uninhabited area from them.

"do not go."

This is advice given to him by two powerful figures.

"There's nothing there, what are you going to do in that no man's land?" Black Sparrow asked, puzzled.

Zheng Tuo then explained why he wanted to go to the no-man's-land.

"Earth elemental power?" Black Sparrow thought for a moment. "You know what, the place with the most concentrated earth elemental power in the Primordial Immortal Realm is really an uninhabited area."

"You'd better be careful if you go," Zhuque said, reassuringly.

Zheng Tuo's fate is not only in his own hands, but he also has to suppress the Zerg Queen. If he falls, the Zerg Queen will surely break the seal and escape.

In response, Zhuque Dao Shen looked at Hei Que, his meaning clear: he wanted Hei Que to go to the no-man's land with Zheng Tuo.

"I am injured and need to be treated, so it is inconvenient for me to go. How about this?"

Black Sparrow took out one of its black feathers and handed it to Zheng Tuo.

"If you encounter danger, crush it, and I will come to your location to save you immediately."

Zheng Tuo was delighted and carefully accepted it.

Black sparrow feathers are an absolute lifesaver; you should keep them safe.

Without any delay, he got up, left the Five Elements Great World, and headed to the no-man's land.

He needs to find a precious place as soon as possible to connect it with his Five Elements Great World, so that he can enter a state of cultivation.

Although he had broken through to become a barrier-breaker, he clearly understood that he was nothing at the moment.

There are many powerful beings in the Primordial Immortal Realm. He once fought against the Tree God and the Fire Eagle. The other party was only at the second level of the Breakthrough Realm, yet they were able to fight him to a standstill. If they fought to the death, they might very well perish together.

weak.

I am too weak now.

He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible, to a level where he can protect himself, at least to the fifth level of the Breaker realm.

With this in mind, he spent several months traveling to the uninhabited area.

Standing on the edge of the no-man's-land, looking at the endless desert in front of me, I was immediately filled with a sense of desolation.

This desert is a no-man's land; no one has ever reached its end. Even those who break through barriers wouldn't easily come to this place.

Instead of rushing to the no-man's land, he found a deserted city nearby, inhabited by many cultivators.

Most of these practitioners cultivate earth-attribute power.

What might be meaningless to others is an unparalleled treasure for the cultivators in the deserted city.

Disguised as an ordinary cultivator, he landed in the deserted city. Looking at the deserted city with its endless yellow sand and little life, he released a reconnaissance puppet to begin gathering intelligence.

He gathered intelligence quickly because he had no shortage of good things. He used these good things as bait and soon obtained a lot of useful information.

For example, what dangerous places should be avoided in this no-man's-land, what terrifying creatures exist there, and how to deal with them, etc.

The intelligence gathering was basically complete, just as Zheng Tuo was leaving.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."

An old man, smiling, stopped Zheng Tuo.

"Is something wrong?"

Zheng Tuo sensed that the other party was very strong, and should have the cultivation level of a first-level Breakthrough Realm cultivator.

"I am the city lord of this city. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

"It's alright, I'll leave right away and won't disturb your cultivation."

"No disturbance, no disturbance. Since you have come here in person, you must be planning to enter the no-man's-land." The old man had clearly seen through Zheng Tuo's thoughts.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Please speak frankly." Zheng Tuo was unsure of what the other party wanted to do.

“Fellow Daoist, you are very generous. I have discovered a treasure in this no-man's land, but unfortunately, I am not skilled enough to obtain it on my own. Therefore, I would like to invite you to come with me to retrieve the treasure.”

"Found a treasure? Retrieve the treasure?" Zheng Tuo looked at the old man in front of him and immediately became wary!

He didn't believe the other party genuinely wanted to invite him to retrieve the treasure.

In his opinion.

This old man probably wanted to kill him and take his treasure.

Besides, who knows if there's a powerful figure behind this guy? If he's set a trap, wouldn't I suffer a terrible fate because of it?

"Fellow Daoist, thank you for your invitation, but I have other matters to attend to and will not be able to participate in your treasure hunt."

After saying that, Zheng Tuo got up and left.

“Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist…”

Seeing that his invitation was not accepted, the old man looked worried.

"He sincerely invited the other party to retrieve the treasure, but the other party mistakenly thought that he was going to trick and kill him."

Feeling wronged, she couldn't help but chase after him.

“Fellow Daoist, I have indeed found a treasure. The treasure is in a blessed place. If you help me, I will surely be able to obtain it.”

Seeing that the other party had actually followed, Zheng Tuo became even more suspicious.

“Fellow Daoist, I have no time to waste with you. Please do not follow me!” Zheng Tuo became serious.

Seeing how wary Zheng Tuo was of him, the old man immediately swore an oath by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Those who break through the barrier naturally possess the ability to shield themselves from the original Heavenly Dao oath, but at this moment, Zheng Tuo clearly felt the power of the oath descending.

In other words, the old man in front of us was not lying; he was telling the truth.

"My name is Zhao Yan. My cultivation level is at the first level of the Breakthrough Realm, and I am already 20,000 years old."

"Fifteen thousand years old?"

A powerful being who has broken through the barrier to the first level can usually only live for ten thousand years. Even if they can seal themselves, they can only extend their lifespan for one to two thousand years.

The old man in front of them, named Zhao Yan, had actually lived for 20,000 years, a lifespan comparable to that of a second-level Breakthrough Realm expert.

How have you managed to live so long?

Zheng Tuo was puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan was immediately enveloped in a radiant aura, which instantly transformed into his true form.

It was an enormous sand turtle.

The desert tortoise is a type of tortoise that lives in the desert.

Tortoises?

Upon seeing Zhao Yan at this moment, Zheng Tuo immediately understood the reason.

Tortoises are most famous for their longevity; even sand tortoises can significantly extend their lifespan.

Are they turtles?
Looking at the sand turtle in front of him, Zheng Tuo couldn't help but think of something.

During the Mythical Battlefield, he encountered the legacy of the Old Turtle Immortal, who told him that he hoped to pass on the legacy he had created throughout his life.

He was already doing this.

There are many turtles in the primordial Milky Way, some of whom have great potential, so he tried to teach them, but so far without success.

now.

I actually encountered a sand turtle.

Zhao Yan transformed into the appearance of an old man.

"Fellow Daoist, to be honest, my true form is a sand turtle. Although I have a lifespan of 20,000 years, I have reached my limit. If I do not break through, I fear I will die when my lifespan ends."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo immediately understood why Zhao Yanru was so persistent; it turned out that his lifespan was nearing its end.

"Why did you seek my help instead of others all these years?" Zheng Tuo asked.

"To be honest, you are the only one who has broken through the barrier to this place in the past five thousand years."

"Five thousand years? The only one?"

"There are no spiritual plants or magical treasures in the no-man's-land. The only thing it has is danger, a danger that would kill even a Wall Breaker. So naturally no Wall Breaker would come here."

That makes sense.

Because in Zheng Tuo's investigation, this was indeed the case in the no-man's land.

He thought about it carefully and asked, "In the no-man's land, where is the earth element most concentrated?"

"It's the place I told you about with the treasure," Zhao Yan said.

"you sure?"

"My lifespan is nearing its end, and I have sworn an oath to Heaven; how could it be false?"

After thinking it over, Zheng Tuo finally decided to go with Zhao Yan to see that place.

Firstly, he had no clue what to do, and even when he entered the no-man's land, he was just searching randomly.

Secondly, he was not afraid of Zhao Yan. Even if this guy was harmful to him, he could summon Senior Black Sparrow to help him out.

on the other hand.

If Zhao Yan really helps me find the place I need, wouldn't that save me a lot of time?

Hearing Zheng Tuo agree, Zhao Yan was overjoyed and immediately took Zheng Tuo deep into the no-man's land.

On the way, Zheng Tuo deliberately questioned Zhao Yan, hoping to learn more about him and the no-man's-land.

According to Zhao Yan, the sand turtles love to sleep the most. He accidentally slept for 15,000 years. After waking up, he dared not leave the no-man's-land, which is why he did not cooperate with others to retrieve the treasure.

As for the no-man's-land, Zhao Yan believes the biggest problem is not the danger, but the unbearable loneliness.

The no-man's-land is barren, nothing but desert, and you can't see a single living creature for decades.

Normal creatures would quickly grow tired of living in such a place.

In addition, it's easy to get lost in uninhabited areas, so almost no one is willing to enter them.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a region in the primordial immortal realm, but there is.

The two traveled rapidly through the uninhabited area.

Just as Zhao Yan had described, the surrounding scenery was nothing but sand, an endless expanse of sand, and nothing else.

No, don't say there's nothing at all.

The concentration of earth-attribute spiritual energy here is several times higher than outside, but unfortunately it does not meet Zheng Tuo's requirements.

The two continued on their journey, while Zheng Tuo secretly recorded their route.

He used the celestial sun and stars as his guide and wrote down the route so that he wouldn't easily get lost.

The two traveled for several months before finally arriving at their destination.

Swipe!

The two landed on a sand dune, and Zheng Tuo was immediately astonished by the sight before him!
Ahead lay another desert, but this desert seemed to flow like seawater in the ocean.

"Is this the legendary Desert Sea?"

Zheng Tuo had learned about this place when he was learning about the no-man's-land.

In the uninhabited area, there is a desert sea, where the sand, like an ocean, is constantly flowing.

Moreover, the Desert Sea has a very unique characteristic: it randomly spawns anywhere in the no-man's-land.

You don't know when it will disappear, nor when it will suddenly reappear.

In addition, the desert sea is also an extremely dangerous place.

In all the information he investigated, there was one such piece of information: if you encounter the Desert Sea, run away immediately, do not approach it, and do not attempt to cross it, because the sky above the Desert Sea possesses a terrifying swallowing power that can devour any living thing suspended above it.

It's like a black hole, capable of swallowing everything around it.

They were currently very close to the Desert Sea, and Zheng Tuo could already feel its terrifying swallowing power.

Saying.

Could the treasure Zhao Yan mentioned be in the desert sea?
