Dongfang Shuxuan Immortal Continent has a vast territory and many cultivation sects, including thousands of them. If there are more cultivation families, a wide range of small sects and gang organizations of casual cultivators, although there are no exact statistics, there are always tens of thousands.

These large and small forces each occupy one place. Generally speaking, people are accustomed to roughly divide and distinguish the areas they are located in by four parts: southeast, southwest and northwest. For example, Zizai Wanxiangmen is located in the east of Xianzhou.

In the middle of the Xianzhou Continent, there is actually an area with a small area and a radius of only a few hundred miles. However, for a long time, although it cannot be said that it is very secretive, few people mention that this place is only the size of a palm compared to the mainland, and there is no title of the central part of the Xianzhou.

Because, this place is a taboo area in Xianzhou, and even a taboo topic.

Because, here is an extremely mysterious area of ​​death with almost no entry or exit.

Despite this, there is still a formal name here, called "Central Patio". I don't know who first came up with and called this name.

No one knows when and why the central patio appeared. According to legend, the central patio has existed since the formation of the mainland.

For thousands of years, no matter how the landforms of the mainland change or how the territory of various forces has changed, the central courtyard has always been consistent, and no force dares to touch this place, and few people even approach this place. People seem to have chosen to forget that there is such a place in the Xuanxianzhou.

The main reason is that it is so dangerous that almost no one has ever come out alive, or someone has survived occasionally, but the people who come out are either crazy or have forgotten their experiences. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people dare not refuse to disclose them.

In short, according to the word of mouth of the old man, it was said that at the beginning, there was a rumor that a monk had obtained great fortune and a shocking secret treasure after entering the country. He was soon able to ascend to immortality. Therefore, for a long time, he attracted cultivators from the mainland to flock, but without exception, never returned. Many sects have lost a large number of high-level monks for this, and even their inheritance was affected.

After a long silence, some people still don’t believe in this evil. From time to time, top masters or powerful cultivators from major sects and families ventured into it, but in the end, they all used their lives to verify the place of death and the forbidden area of ​​the monk.

After countless adventures and years of continuous exploration, although there are never a shortage of cultivators who fight with their lives in order to soar and live forever, this result of ten deaths without life and without rewards finally dispels people's greed. People think that such a place does not exist in the Immortal Island and lose interest in exploration.

Since then, the world of cultivation has consciously or unconsciously stopped mentioning this place. When they have to pass by, they always detour from afar. It is not ruled out that there will be some monks who have reached the end of their lives and then ascend to hopelessness, or those who are desperate who are chased by enemies who have no way to enter the earth and have no way to go, and they will try to enter with a mortal state of dying, but no one cares about their whereabouts.

However, the history of the tragic song written by thousands of monks with their lives was not nothing. People have discovered at least one rule:

That is, every once in a while, the pressure around the central patio area will weaken significantly, and it will often take several months to recover.

These few months are called the period of weakness of the central patio.

The weakened pressure is not easily endured and broken through by the monks in Xianzhou, so it is not very meaningful. People are still almost ignorant of the environment and secrets inside the core area of ​​the central patio.

But there was something that was gradually noticed by people.

It was found that when the central patio was in a weak period, a transition area of ​​up to 100 miles wide would appear around its core area.

The environment in the transition zone is ever-changing and unpredictable, and there is no rule. It is also full of dangers, but it is an area that monks in this world can barely enter, and there will be many items left by monks who have been exploring and missing in the past. In the past periods of weakness, people have obtained treasures from cultivators from cultivators hundreds, thousands or even ten thousand years ago, and some are even enough to become treasures of the sect.

Driven by this tempting benefit, every time during the weak period, a large number of monks would go deep into the transition zone despite the high shocking mortality rate. Over time, this behavior became a routine for cultivators in Xianzhou, and was called "death release", which means a rare treasure grabbing activity in the central courtyard that risked their lives to rush to the treasure during the release period.

The interval between the period of weakening of the central patio is very long. It was initially for thousands of years. Although it decreased every time, it was only a few decades less. In today's era, it was shortened to about six hundred years.

In the long history of Xianzhou, it is true that monks who live to be six hundred years old are rare. In a sect, six hundred years means the interval between generations of disciples, and the last period of decline in the central courtyard occurred three hundred years ago.

Therefore, if you take Zizai Wanxiang Sect as an example, from the head of Guan Heng Zhenren, including his previous generation of old masters, to the Hualanting generation and the disciples of two or three generations, they should have no chance of having the death of the Central Courtyard.

Therefore, no one cares about or talks about this matter in Xianzhou.

However, by chance, just half a month ago, the celestial phenomena in the central courtyard suddenly changed, and countless powerful spiritual energy with different colors and attributes soared into the sky, and could be seen hundreds of miles away.

This is an important sign of the arrival of a period of weakness in the central patio.

This period of weakness is ahead of schedule?

This is a big deal.

It was like stabbing a hornet's nest. The various forces on the Dongfang Shuxuan Immortal Continent were moved by the news. All the powerful people who were proficient in similar magic techniques tried their best to make predictions, and many people rushed to the edge of the central patio for close observations.

The final conclusion confirms the early arrival of the period of weakness.

So, the immortal continent immediately became a boil. Not many people were concerned about why the weak period was advanced. They only knew that they were in the right way. The treasure was not owned, and the winner was destined to be. No matter how high the risk was, it was worth fighting for.

So, in just over a dozen days, many small and medium-sized forces had already used various means to hurry to all edges of the transition zone of the central courtyard that had been formed. Early birds were eaten by insects, and they wanted to grab the first bite of soup and burn the incense stick.

Unfortunately, early insects were eaten by birds. After paying the bloody price, these small and medium-sized sects who were eager to achieve success had the advantage that they had found out the characteristics and requirements of entering the transition zone this time for the later generations.

The first point is that the pressure on the edges and inside the transition zone has a significant suppression effect on the cultivation of any monk. Specifically, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the degree of suppression.

For example, masters of the rebirth and warm health realms must reduce at least two major realms, and the spiritual power consumed to resist pressure is very huge, so it is difficult to stay in it for a long time.

The suppression of cultivators in the foundation building and medicine stage is much lighter, but there are advantages and disadvantages. People with low realms are likely to fall in the complex and dangerous environment in the transition zone and find it difficult to achieve great things.

The final conclusion is that the most suitable monks who are in the formation of pills and refining the realm are also suitable for the return pills. The transition zone suppresses and consumes these people in a relatively limited way, so that they can survive within a long time, which is conducive to treasure hunting.

The second feature of the discovery is that the difficulty of entry around the transition zone is different, and there are several places that have been discovered that the spiritual pressure is weaker in comparison, which is more suitable as a breakthrough point.

The third discovery is that the environment inside the transition zone is extremely unstable and will undergo sharp changes at any time. It is not suitable for cultivators with single magic attributes or poor adaptability to survive.

After receiving this news, all the medium and large forces became much more cautious.

On the one hand, the weak period of the central patio is several months, and the difference between entering earlier and later is not very different, but you should not hesitate too much. If the places that are easy to break through are seized by other forces, it will be increased by increasing the difficulty of entering.

On the other hand, the disciples of Jiedan and Jieji Realm who are suitable for exploring are all reserved powers of each family, and they cannot tolerate or make a large amount of damage. In this way, the choice of personnel and quantity is very particular.

Of course, there is no reason for the Zizai Wanxiang Sect to miss this opportunity to train disciples and obtain treasures. However, while the senior management was still considering the selection issues and action plans, the 60 generations of disciples whose cultivation was generally in the Kan Realm became restless after obtaining the information.

As time goes by, this restless situation has become increasingly serious.

The reality is that different versions of rumors, even rumors, began to appear and spread among the disciples.

For example, there is a saying that Hua Lanting and others have already made an appointment to travel and explore on behalf of the sect, but some voices expressed dissatisfaction with this, believing that the senior management is too biased and accusing good opportunities are always occupied by a few people for a long time, resulting in other disciples not getting enough places to go out for training.

Some of the disciples expressed dissatisfaction with this, thinking that their qualifications are not bad and they work hard enough, but they cannot get the resources. In the long run, the strong will always be strong, and they will gradually lose interest and confidence in cultivation.

Some people also admit that Hua Lanting and others have strong cultivation and there is no problem with providing support, but they should not form a monopoly on opportunities. Every disciple should be treated fairly, so that the overall level of the younger disciples can be improved.

These are relatively fair and polite statements, and some extreme remarks are made out of nothing, pointing to the point that some people in the senior management are nepotism, nepotism, and corrupting the atmosphere within the sect, etc.

As soon as there are too many people, they will be mixed, and rumors spread in the Wanxiang Sect for a while. Relevant unblocked people, disciples and some teachers and commanders, participated. In addition, the people with ulterior motives have contributed to the fire, and the whole sect is restless, almost reaching the point of affecting normal practice.

To this end, Zhou Xi issued an order in a timely manner, asking each Fengtou organization to conduct internal discussions and collect opinions and suggestions from all parties, in order to use this incident to rectify the atmosphere inside the door and unify the understanding.
