Alien Dust

Chapter 433: Wild Land in the City

……

In the Holy Land of Yunzhong, Wu Hen in Yunshan Mansion stretched out his body lazily, enjoying the precious jade fruits that were offered to him while watching the Tongtian City in the lower world from the yard.

The cloud pond in this yard is also special. The flowing mist always presents a scene of Tongtian City. It is just like the gods in the sky are inspecting the human world. Their every move is under control. Coupled with their powerful spiritual vision, they are aware of every movement in the lower world.

Recently, after Wu Hen consolidated his cultivation as a Saint Child, he began to lose interest in making progress again.

After fighting with Si Zai for so long, what's wrong with enjoying himself, snooping into the secrets of a young wife in Tongtian City, tracking the behavior of a wild man, and then watching the actions of a hypocritical person, or watching a young man like Xu Xia make a comeback. This is much more exciting than those soap operas that follow the script. Wu Hen can sit in this courtyard and watch the world for ten days or half a month without getting tired of it.

Of course, Wu Hen doesn’t actually have a voyeuristic tendency.

Instead, he has already grasped certain clues and knows who else in Tongtian City has mastered the false Xuantian Holy Decree. These people are Jiang Heng's big fish and will be hooked and swallowed by Jiang Heng sooner or later.

Jiang Heng closed the net, and Wu Hen also closed the net.

If he wants to upgrade his Saint Child realm to Saint Yuan, it really depends on Jiang Heng's actions.

"Junior brother, you have been here for several days. Have you gained anything?" Qingxi came over and asked Wu Hen.

"Just relax yourself. Jiang Heng is very patient, so I'm not in a hurry." Wu Hen said, his eyes fell on Qingxi. Seeing that Qingxi was wearing a thin cloud gauze dress, which was quite charming, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and then asked, "What are you busy with recently, Senior Sister?"

"Master has given me the priesthood of observation. I sense that some holy places have been eroded by alien forces, and I need to purify them." Qingxi said.

"What is this used for?" Wu Hen asked somewhat puzzled.

"Junior brother, if you have nothing to do, please come with me. It's a chance to broaden your horizons. It just so happens that you have good eyesight." Qingxi smiled and made an invitation.

"Okay, I haven't been with my senior sister for a few months, so I'll go down and relax. Besides, I stay in this mansion all day, and Jiang Heng doesn't dare to attack me. I'll give him a little chance, maybe I can speed up his closing in." Wu Hen said.

……

Qingxi summoned a purple dragon, and the two of them rode on this ancient totem beast and flew towards Tongtian City.

There are some mountains and valleys between Tongtian City, and some areas are not completely cities. These places are sparsely populated and often breed some evil monsters.

Qingxi's duty in the Holy Nation is to eliminate some evil hidden dangers and alien invasions.
"Strange! I observed this mountainous area when I was in the sky. I remember there were some villages and towns, and some local residents planted some spiritual herbs and medicinal trees here. How come it has become a wilderness in just a month?" Wu Hen discovered in mid-air that a wild mountain forest had emerged in a corner of Tongtian City.

Those trees are so huge that they almost touch the clouds, and it feels like they have been rooted here for thousands of years.

The hills and rock formations were even more bizarre and strange; they grew and expanded outward like a rainforest. With Wu Hen's fourth-level hearing, he could even sense the sound of them "growing bones".

"There is wild soil here. If a bird accidentally drops a grass seed, it will grow into a wild grass wilderness within a few days. The seeds of trees and shrubs will also grow at an astonishing speed. There were indeed several ancient towns and villages here before, but they have been eroded by the wild soil, and the villages and ancient towns have been swallowed up by these wild vegetation." Qingxi said.

The two men landed on the ground and walked forward a few steps. Wu Hen saw an ancient town completely buried in tall trees. This town should have been inhabited by stonemasons in the past, who built those palaces for Tongtian City. Huge rock pillars and stone bricks that were cut very finely could be seen everywhere, and the houses here were also made of a kind of gray granite.

Wu Hen had an impression of this place because a big fish he was tracking came here and asked the craftsmen here to build a palace for him.

All the craftsmen in a town were mobilized. The craftsmen still lived in the city. When they returned to their town, it would probably collapse. Their town was gone and turned into a wild forest.

"Generally, we will build temples and totem towers on the territory of the city. There are also a large number of storms to our west, which are also suppressed by temples and totem towers. Otherwise, those Gobi storms will be swept into our holy land and turn our territory into a wasteland. Similarly, these wild soils are actually everywhere. If they are not dealt with in time, they will be like pervasive mosses, turning our holy land into a wild land. If no one governs it, it will only take less than half a month for a city to become a ruin. If the wild soil is more powerful, it may swallow up the city overnight..." Qingxi explained to Wu Hen.

"Those city people wake up one day and find that they are no longer living in the primeval forest?" Wu Hen joked.

"Ordinary people will be hunted down by the Savage Forest. The vines will strangle the living people in their sleep, and the living people will quickly become nutrients for the growth of this Savage Land. This includes us, the holy cultivators. If we are not careful, we may be trapped in it and slowly digested." Qingxi said.

"Is that so? It's really scary. The soil of Cangchu Divine Realm is eyeing life covetously." Wu Hen said.

"Brother, help me put these stones in several corners of the world. We need to lock this wild land and suppress its expansion, then find the root of the wild land inside, take it away and purify it, so that after some time, the vacancy of the city in this area will be filled. Maybe in a few months, when you look back here, it will be full of flowers." Qingxi said. "It's quite magical." Wu Hen nodded.

The wilderness will erode the holy land, the holy land seems to suppress the evil soil, and the evil soil seems to corrode the technological city. Once the technological city is ruined, it will present a doomsday scene...

In other words, the soils of different dimensions have always been eroding each other, just like wars between countries and disputes over national borders.

Most of the holy land areas are city-states where humans gather. City-states are connected to each other. They have mastered the magic of spiritual seeds and do not need to worry about the problem of too many people and not being able to provide food. The only two things they need to worry about are natural disasters and earth erosion.

Natural disasters will naturally be dealt with by the strong men of the Yunzhong Holy Nation.

The problem of ground erosion is more complicated.

Qingxi let himself control the wasteland, as if he was managing an area contaminated by radiation, first isolating it, then purifying it, and finally restoring it.

The Nuwa God had recently settled in Cangchu God's Land. Apparently, the God's Land was also suffering from the erosion of the powerful soil in God's Land. If her compatriots could not resist, her homeland might have become a wild planet or a kingdom of evil spirits when she returned home to visit her relatives. Humans could only hide in some shelters, facing ferocious monsters and terrifying zombies. Of course, there were more than just two kinds of strange things in the alien world...

……

Stepping into the swallowed up Stonemason Town, Wu Hen discovered that those sturdy stone houses were actually penetrated directly by some vines. The vine branches as thick as iron basins could drill out from the floor and directly poke open the stone ceiling. The speed of growth and erosion was terrifying. Ordinary people might find that their town was eroded by the ground in the middle of the night, and they might not be able to escape the growth trend of this wild land even if they ran away at night. This was not much different from a sudden flood or a tsunami, and they would be directly submerged!
Sure enough, Wu Hen saw a lot of people's clothes in the town. Their bodies could no longer be found, but the clothes were worn on some plants. It can be inferred that some people in the town were eaten by this wild land.

"In this wild land, some ferocious beasts will be born. Be careful." Qingxi reminded Wu Hen.

"Where do these ferocious beasts come from?" Wu Hen was puzzled.

"Some wild beasts absorb the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. In the process of growing in the wild land, they will give birth to the fruit of time, which is called Yuanyou outside. Some special fruits of time and roots of time can allow monsters to gain thousands of years of cultivation in an instant and turn into monsters overnight. Some other special wild caves and grottoes have space convection. Those powerful lives in the wild land may directly shuttle here. It is even heard that some special wild relics have the power of time change. Wild ancient ruins that are thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years old may emerge at this moment..." Qingxi said.

"The ancient monument reappears?" Wu Hen was also very surprised.

Not only do these newly generated special caves in the wild soil have a wormhole-like effect, they can also bring the evil ancient monuments of the past into the present world. Isn't this simply bringing the Rakshasa Sea City into reality!

It seems that having the land be too spiritual has certain disadvantages. People always hope for the revival of spiritual energy, but they have never considered that the soil, vegetation, and thousands of birds and animals are actually the biggest beneficiaries, and their evolutionary momentum is even stronger.

“Creak, creak, creak!!”

Suddenly, Wu Hen, who had a keen sense of hearing, sensed a very subtle sound.

It felt like something was moving slowly, the friction of bones and joints.

Wu Hen turned his head and saw a face growing on the vines "wearing" clothes behind him. The face exuded a resentful aura and was staring straight at him.

Wu Hen pretended not to notice, but in fact he activated his spiritual vision.

In the state of spiritual vision, Wu Hen discovered that the harmless big vine was actually stretching its body. It was carrying the face from before and slowly sliding down from a height. Its thin whiskers were like the long hair of a banshee, and its body was like a python.

Just like that, a ghost thing that was neither human nor ghost, with a human face and a vine body, appeared, which surprised Wu Hen very much.

You have to have a strong enough perception, otherwise you won’t know where this thing came from!

"Senior Sister, what will the people who die here become?" Wu Hen asked.

"Normally not. They will basically turn into soil fertilizer... unless there is an ancient evil god's tomb in this wild land."

"Oh, that's the tomb of the ancient evil god." Wu Hen nodded, then pinched the human-faced vine ghost with one hand and killed it like a small earthworm. He also washed his hands with the dew next to him. Qingxi didn't notice the whole process.
