Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Walking slowly forward, Yang Ling came to the foot of the city wall. The city wall was magnificent and there was almost no end when looking up. It was made entirely of huge stones, each of which was huge and ancient, revealing the traces of time.

These stones carry endless history. No one knows how long they have stood or how many storms they have experienced. But now they are stained red with blood, which seeps through them and presents a scarlet color.

One can imagine how many lives had been lost here, to the point where even the legendary precious materials were stained with a bloody glow.

The entire city was soaked in blood, as if covered by a layer of black gauze, but it also bloomed the most dazzling light in the darkness. The city walls towered into the clouds, like mountains stretching across the front.

It is magnificent, ancient and majestic.

But soon, Yang Ling frowned, because he found that he still could not fly in this space. If he wanted to reach the top, he could only climb on foot.

At such a high altitude, when will he be able to reach the top? Despite this, he will never give up this opportunity.

After confirming that there were no formations or dangers around, Yang Ling raised his head and climbed up the rough wall like a gecko.

Surprisingly, the wall was not difficult to climb. Although it was made of precious materials, it had been weathered and had many traces left on it.

With the help of these mottled gaps, he was able to sneak in easily. Yang Ling climbed on the ancient city wall like a gecko, while vigilantly observing the surroundings to ensure safety.

At the same time, he felt the accumulation of years and time on the city wall.

It is difficult to describe the age of the city. He speculated that the city might have existed before the creation of the world.

There is no doubt that it has too long a history.

Time and years cannot even leave a trace on it. The oldest mark comes from the end of the long river of time and from the depths of the endless void.

He paused for a moment and tried to leave a mark here, but the stone was extremely hard and he didn't know what it was made of.

They looked mottled, but were actually extremely heavy. No matter how hard he tried, he could not leave any trace, even though the stones were already riddled with holes and rough.

However, at his current level, he was unable to leave any mark on the strongest material on earth.

What kind of stone is this? Yang Ling felt its uniqueness, and if he could bring it out, it might bring unexpected benefits.

He tried to touch these small stones and was surprised to find that they contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It is incredible that such a small stone can contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If a large piece could be brought out and placed in the former cultivation world, it would definitely be a treasure of sky-high price.

However, the height of the city wall was far beyond his imagination. It might not seem far from a distance, but it felt extremely long to climb.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally climbed up the city wall, took a deep breath, and looked into the distance. At that moment, his eyes widened.

His whole body was trembling, his muscles were tense, his pupils were dilated, and he stared at everything within the city wall.

What did he see? It was an ancient city wall that could accommodate millions of people. Although it was not huge, it was still terrifying.

More importantly, the city was empty, with only various corpses filling every corner, seemingly submerging the entire city.

The corpses were piled up like a mountain, as high as the city walls, emitting a terrifying aura and strange light.

There is no doubt that those within the city walls are all masters, and some are even more powerful than those outside the city walls.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still deeply shocked. All the strong men in the city were dead. There were so many corpses that they almost filled the entire city wall.

How many people died here, and how many beings fell?
To his surprise, the bodies did not completely cover all areas.

One third of the city was empty, one third was filled with corpses, and the last third made Yang Ling tremble and become stiff.

In the very center of the city, there was a huge cauldron burning fiercely.

There was a blazing white flame below, and the cauldron itself was made of stone. It was extremely huge and occupied one-third of the distance nearby.

It is hard to imagine who built such a huge city here, and there is such a flame furnace in the city.

The furnace is still turning slowly, as if it has always been like this since ancient times and has never been extinguished. The white flames below are even more terrifying.

Seeing all this, Yang Ling's scalp went numb, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and his hair stood on end.

Because he saw the most horrifying sight: corpses, the corpses of strong men, were lifted up by an unknown force and thrown into the cauldron.

It fell along the deep mouth of the cauldron and was then burned into ashes by the flames.

This scene cannot be described in words and no one can depict it.

It was too horrifying. The supreme powerful ones were shattered here. The energy contained in their corpses made the whole world tremble.

It is unknown from which era this furnace was left, and countless corpses were thrown into it by a mysterious force.

The scene there was horrifying, and I dared not look directly at it. It was too horrible. I could feel that among those corpses, there were still many people's consciousness, and their immortal spirits, which existed for eternity. But under the smelting of this furnace, everything was dying. All life forms and all obsessions were wiped out and turned into the purest spiritual power. These spiritual powers dissipated in an instant, and I don't know where they merged into the void. The bodies of those dead were indeed extremely powerful.

They have been dead for who knows how many years, but even so, their bones are still crystal clear and emit a brilliant luster.

It was like a nuclear bomb explosion, causing unimaginable huge impact, but these impacts could not cause any damage to the ancient cauldron at all.

No matter how strong their bodies were, they were easily crushed, blood flowed, bone marrow collapsed, and the most fundamental energy also emanated from their corpses and reintegrated into this world and time.

All these scenes were so horrifying and shocking that any language seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

Everything is collapsing, everything is disintegrating, both the body and the soul are gradually dissipating and reintegrating into this vast world.

At this moment, Yang Ling had a profound understanding and a deep feeling. Practitioners are meant to fight against the heavens, to fight for the power of heaven and earth, and to integrate it into their bodies. However, when they fall, their bodies and spirits disintegrate and disappear into thin air.

These forces have returned to this world again. Is this the destined reincarnation? That huge furnace and that huge tripod are like a sophisticated machine that has been running non-stop since ancient times.

It never stops dealing with all kinds of corpses. No one knows how many years it has existed and how many remains of powerful people it has destroyed.

This furnace was so huge that it took up one-third of the city, and its efficiency was amazing. The corpses from all around poured into it like a torrent, and soon after, the mountain of corpses in the city began to decrease gradually and were about to be completely wiped out.

However, just when Yang Ling thought everything was about to end, terrifying cracks suddenly appeared in the sky. Corpses fell from these cracks like raindrops, filling up one-third of the area in just a moment, re-covering the area that had been cleared.

These corpses, like the city, were emitting light, and the energy in their bodies was extremely dense. It was obvious that they were all great masters when they were alive. They seemed to have died not long ago, and each of them had various scars on their bodies, and they just appeared here.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart was full of doubts. What was going on? Where did these practitioners come from? Wasn't he the only one left on Earth?
So many strong men were abandoned here, what was the origin of this place? Especially the bones of those strongest men were broken, but the furnace did not stop, as if it was doing its daily work. This was too weird and too scary.

Sure enough, when this batch of corpses was consumed, space cracks appeared again in the distant sky. In the void, piles of corpses fell again, and soon filled the city. The area that had been cleared was covered with corpses again. Those corpses were lifted up by a mysterious force and thrown into the ancient furnace.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling was really shocked. Has it always been like this since ancient times?
This ancient cauldron is like a machine that never makes mistakes, always running. From ancient times to the present, no one can calculate how many corpses it has devoured.

He carefully observed the bodies and found that many of them seemed to have died of serious injuries, which was very tragic. Some bodies were intact, without wounds, and looked like old people, as if they had died of old age.

Yet, they all appear here.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling was filled with surprise. What on earth was going on? How could a corpse appear here after death? Logically, shouldn't it be a soul?

There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world. The more you understand, the more you realize that you only have a partial understanding of everything.

"I used to think that fearlessness is due to ignorance, but now it seems that it is indeed the case." Yang Ling said to himself with a wry smile. He originally thought that his cultivation was already top-notch on Earth, but now it seems that he was too arrogant and conceited.

You know, every corpse in this cemetery is extremely powerful. Some of them are even close to becoming saints. Their bodies are indestructible. Even if they collapse, even after death, their bones still emit a crystal luster, which is an immortal brilliance that is difficult to destroy.

Destroying these bones is not much easier than destroying a star, and some are even more difficult. However, if they fall into the furnace, they will be directly disintegrated and burned in an instant.

Not only these bodies, he also saw some ancient creatures, such as the legendary real dragon, phoenix, etc. Everything thrown into the huge furnace, no matter what it was, would be completely wiped out.

Their bones shattered, their blood scattered, their souls returned to their origins, and the original spiritual imprints could not escape from them at all. The white flame seemed to be able to burn everything.

In addition, the city was filled with unimaginable resentment. These resentments were extraordinary, and were left by the most powerful practitioners. One second they were still boiling here, like a group of demons dancing wildly; the next second, they were completely ignited by the ancient furnace, and their souls flew away, leaving nothing behind.

Seeing all this, Yang Ling had a feeling: this furnace might be mysterious, or unique. It was like the oldest reincarnation in the land of the dead, grinding all souls into the most fundamental power and sending them back to another world.

Because he did see some strong resentment and strong obsession that had not been dissipated. Although the memory of the previous life was erased, there were still blank spiritual seeds left. If all these spiritual seeds were reincarnated, they would definitely be much stronger than ordinary people.

Outside the city, he had gained great opportunities; and the same was true when watching these reincarnations here.

He watched here for a long time, and had a feeling, a realization: at the end of reincarnation, everything will end. All the glory, all the splendor will disappear. Nothing can last forever, and nothing can last forever. He walked along the city wall and realized everything between heaven and earth.

Finally, when he saw the other half of the scene in the furnace, he was completely shocked and shaken.

Sure enough, his previous guess was not wrong. After the bodies were crushed, ground, and burned, they turned into ancient residues and were decomposed into energy. Some spiritual seeds with their marks erased were left behind. They seemed to have experienced an unimaginable huge impact and looked particularly thin and not very powerful.

Behind the furnace, there was an ethereal passage that led to a distant road. All the obliterated shadows, which were left with only ethereal shadows, jumped out of the furnace and gradually went away along this road.

They lead to the unknown fog, to the unknown world. It seems to be connected to another world, and no one knows what is at the end.

"Is this the legendary fate of all living creatures?" Seeing all this, Yang Ling felt a chill down his spine. Then, he felt an inexplicably powerful force and a sense of oppression from his soul. That huge furnace seemed to crush him to pieces.

There seemed to be a force spreading from there, trying to pull him over. There, it seemed like reincarnation was being born.

There is no doubt that this area is too strange and too abnormal. In this huge city, a huge furnace is slowly turning. The endless flames burn the heaven and earth to ashes, and the bodies of the legendary saints are being destroyed.

The bones of ancient life forms that were as big as stars were not even as good as firewood here, and would be burned up in an instant. Even their bones would be reduced to ashes and disintegrated into the purest primitive energy.

There is no doubt that this furnace is an unprecedented treasure. But its origin is simply unimaginable. (End of this chapter)
