In a glimpse, I saw that the mountains and hills were covered with towering ancient trees, and vines were winding and spreading among the trees.
The colorful miasma not only filled the forest, but also formed clouds of poisonous mist in the sky.
Ferocious beasts and strange birds are often seen roaming among the mountains, hills, forests and grasses.
There are also various strange and bizarre poisonous insects that gather and disperse from time to time, forming clouds of insects that wreak havoc in the mountains, forests and swamps.
Seeing the rapidly changing images in front of him, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but smile. He knew that these were the real terrains in the wilderness.
These images are precious.
Because they are the real memory images of a Nascent Soul ancestor.
This was after Patriarch Yuye personally explored the wilderness and used his powerful divine consciousness to imprint everything he saw and heard along the way onto the True Shadow Ball.
Although the one on this True Shadow Ball is just a copy of it, it is also a treasure that is difficult for ordinary immortal cultivation families to obtain.
After watching for a while, Zhao Sheng immediately told Zhao Xuan'an to open the map.
Zhao Xuan'an nodded and threw the map in his hand forward.
A map scroll slowly unfolded, and in an instant a huge map of nearly three square meters was hanging in front of everyone.
Everyone in the Zhao family walked closer and looked down. They saw that the map was full of mountains, rivers, forests and swamps, and they were marked with various names.
It's just that a small part of the terrain is covered with different colors such as black, gray, red, yellow, and green.
The center of the map was dyed gray-black, and it looked like a large mountain range with the words "Zhuhuangling" marked on it.
Ge Feng'er stepped forward, pointed at the map, and introduced: "My dear uncles, please look at this map. The area of this map is nearly 7,000 miles, and the degree of danger is indicated by color.
The black color represents a deadly place, the most dangerous level. Even if a Nascent Soul enters, there is a high risk of death.
The gray area represents the presence of transformed monsters. The red area corresponds to Jindan monsters, and the yellow area corresponds to foundation-building monsters.
The remaining green areas do not represent absolute safety, but rather represent unknown areas. However, no demonic beasts above the foundation-building stage have been detected so far."
Zhao Sheng looked carefully at the map in front of him and found that the closer he was to Zhuhuang Ridge, the more red and yellow areas there were. On the contrary, most of the areas at the edge of the map were unknown green.
Without Ge Feng'er's further explanation, the Zhao family members quickly realized that the place where those monsters were lurking was most likely the location of the spiritual vein.
The color represents the degree of danger and often indicates the level of the spirit vein. The gray Pig Emperor Ridge is very likely to have a third-level spirit vein, while the yellow area is most likely a first-level spirit vein, and at the very least, it is a place of mixed spirits.
The Zhao family cannot spy on the areas above the red area. Zhao Sheng just passed by and turned his attention to the yellow areas.
After observing carefully for a while, Zhao Sheng secretly selected several areas in his mind.
He raised his head and asked everyone, "After looking at the map, have you selected any locations to attack?"
"I think Yellow Maple Valley is good. The terrain is open and suitable for farming."
"Otherwise, I think the Five Dragon River is better. Five rivers converge here, forming a natural dragon cave, which is sure to produce precious treasures."
"Safety is paramount. This Qingsong Mountain is surrounded by greenery, so it's not very dangerous and is suitable for a family raid."
After everyone mentioned seven or eight places, Zhao Sheng turned to look at Zhao Jinjian and said, "Fourth Master, the real shadow ball!"
Um,
Zhao Jinjian nodded and waved the water to activate the real shadow ball. As the large area of light and shadow changed rapidly, the image soon stopped on a valley with flat terrain and red and yellow maple trees.
"Yes, Huangfeng Valley!" Zhao Jinjian said calmly.
The True Shadow Ball was created by the Yuanying Patriarch, and the image was transformed from the image of spiritual consciousness.
Although the Yellow Maple Valley was only a glimpse in the divine consciousness, the resolution was still extremely high, and the forest terrain was clearly visible.
At this time, Ge Feng'er took out a book, flipped through dozens of pages, and soon stopped at one of them.
She read: "Yellow Maple Valley is full of spiritual maples. In the forest, there are groups of red-tailed flying squirrel monsters. There is currently a second-level red-tailed flying squirrel."
Seeing that she didn't read any more, Zhao Sheng asked in surprise, "That's all?"
"That's all. Patriarch Yuye only dictated these few words. I think in his eyes, monsters below the second level are not worth mentioning at all."
Zhao Sheng felt very sorry after hearing this, and could only say helplessly: "What do you think of Huangfeng Valley? For the sake of our family's cause, please speak freely!"
"I think..."
…
Two hours later, the sky gradually darkened. In the bluestone courtyard of Taiwu Mountain, the Zhao family members were discussing heatedly. From time to time, fierce arguments were heard over a certain sacred place.
At this time, three or four yellow areas on the map had been crossed out. Huangfeng Valley, Wulong River and other areas were abandoned by the Zhao family due to various defects.
Zhao Sheng looked up at the sky outside, then at the crowd, and suddenly said, "Let me suggest a place! What do you think of Rotten Peach Mountain?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Ge Feng'er quickly searched for the booklet and read: "Rotten Peach Mountain, where countless rotten peaches grow and are permeated with peach blossom miasma. A group of long-armed white apes live there, along with two second-level white apes, male and female, who are ferocious and aggressive by nature."
After Zhao Jinjian called up the image of Rotten Peach Mountain, he looked at the large pink miasma cloud floating above the mountain forest.
He couldn't help but frown and said, "The Peach Blossom Miasma is known for its mind-bending poison. Ordinary barrier-avoidance pills probably won't work. Furthermore, there are two second-level demon apes and an unknown number of white apes. It's a dangerous place like this, and it's hard for the family to survive!"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Xuan'an, Zhao Keru and others nodded, and then looked at Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng glanced at the crowd and said with a smile: "I chose this place for many reasons, but there are three main reasons.
First, within a 600-li radius of Rotten Peach Mountain, there are numerous first- and second-tier spiritual sites, indicating that the concentration of spiritual energy here must be quite high. Once developed in the future, the surrounding area will undoubtedly become a prosperous area for cultivating immortals.
Second, there are countless peach trees on Rotten Peach Mountain, so spiritual peaches must be common. This is very similar to Taiwu Mountain, making it very convenient to relocate, exchange, or transplant spiritual peaches in the future.
Thirdly, I've taken a fancy to…"
After Zhao Sheng finished explaining the three reasons, Zhao Jinjian and others had a brief discussion and decided to temporarily choose Lantao Mountain as an alternative location. They also needed to continue discussing whether there was a more suitable place.
Zhao Sheng had no complaints about this, as the matter was of great importance and everyone should take every possible precaution into account.
If the place could be easily decided in just a few words, Zhao Sheng would be very disappointed.
The Zhao family discussed for three full days where to choose to open up the wasteland. After discussing almost all the yellow areas, they finally selected two or three suitable places, including Rotten Peach Mountain.
Next, everyone in the Zhao family was busy with preparations for the development of the wilderness.
Faced with a battle between humans and demons, Zhao Sheng did not dare to take it lightly.
He was divided into three teams with the Zhao family's twenty-three immortal cultivators above the third level of Qi Refining and twenty-one innate warriors, and was strictly trained using the training methods of secular armies.
A month later, just when the Zhao family members were being trained to the point of ecstasy by Zhao Sheng, a piece of news suddenly came from the Ge family to Taiwu Mountain.
Zhao Sheng looked at Ge Feng'er, who had come to him on her own initiative, and asked, "Has the date for the Tutu War been set?"
Ge Feng'er nodded.
"when?"
"Wait till September 8th in autumn!"
