Cultivation, I have a world of high martial arts

After a while, Yudai City was south.

Lin Chen followed the underground tunnel opened by the earth drilling machine and dived into the ground more than 200 feet deep.

Unable to reach his fingertips underground, Lin Chen could only rely on his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding environment.

After reaching the end of the tunnel dug by the earth drilling machine, Lin Chen saw another tunnel half as high as a person.

After bending down and getting in, Lin Chen's consciousness spread out like a tide.

After observing for a while, Lin Chen nodded and said:

"It is indeed a newly dug tunnel...and it doesn't look like it was dug by snakes, but more like it was dug by humans..."

"It's just that this earth-digging skill seems to be more sophisticated than that of a ground drill?"

Lin Chen had a strange look on his face.

After some thought, he decided to follow the underground tunnel to explore deeper.

Leaving Long Ba where he was, Lin Chen walked down the hole.

During this period, Lin Chen kept his consciousness at the maximum distance and could sense the situation nearly three hundred feet away.

After walking like this for a while, he estimated that he was already seven or eight hundred feet away from the ground.

But the hole still has no end...

After walking forward for a while, Lin Chen stopped.

In his perception, there was someone's aura three hundred feet away.

And that person was digging a hole in the ground at an alarming speed.

Much faster than an earth drilling machine...

Lin Chen had a strange look on his face.

"Why does this person's breath feel familiar?"

After careful sensing, Lin Chen identified this person's identity.

"This seems to be the Jade Belt Scholar who escaped from Jade Dai Mountain?"

"That being the case, it makes sense..."

Lin Chen touched his chin and thought of the jade-belt scholar who used the Earth Escape Technique.

The earth escape technique is extremely mysterious, and it is not surprising that it can dig holes at such an alarming speed.

"In this way, it saves some effort... If you can learn the Jade Belt Scholar's Earth Escape Technique, wouldn't it be much more convenient than using an earth drill?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen concealed his cultivation and slowly approached the scholar with the jade belt.

…

At the same time, the Jade Belt Scholar was digging holes tirelessly.

He also muttered something:

"Damn you, you actually sealed up Jade Belt City... Do you really want to sacrifice the city?"

"Fortunately, I have the ability to escape from the earth. When I dig deep into the ground, hum! Even the powerful Nascent Soul... can't find me!"

The Jade Belt Scholar had a plan in mind at this moment.

It would be best if we could directly dig the ground and escape from Jade Belt City.

If you really can't escape, you can hide deep underground for a year and a half before coming out to see anyone...

In the blink of an eye, he dug several feet deeper.

When he was resting, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked back, he saw a figure standing behind him.

Subconsciously holding up the body-protecting essence...

But it's of no use!

I saw a long black knife directly breaking through his body-protecting essence.

The whole body was split in half under a huge force...

Pain spread throughout his body, but he didn't even have a chance to cry out.

Before he died, he had only one thought in his mind.

"How come someone can still find him in this thousand-foot-deep underground?"

After slashing the scholar with the jade belt to death, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a bit troublesome to use earth escape technique in this thousand-foot-deep underground... It will be a huge loss if he escapes!"

"It would be more comfortable to just kill him with a knife..."

Lin Chen muttered.

His sword was powerful enough to weigh a million pounds. How could he stop it in the foundation building stage?

After killing the Jade Belt Scholar, Lin Chen took out his storage bag and rummaged through it carefully.

The restriction was easily erased, and divine consciousness penetrated into it.

Lin Chen was a little surprised. There were still a lot of good things in this storage bag.

This Jade Belt Scholar has been a tribulation cultivator for who knows how many years. He may have had some strange encounters in his early years.

There were more than 30,000 spirit stones in the storage bag alone, which was enough for Lin Chen to practice for the next hundred days.

In addition, there are many magic weapons, elixirs, and mountains of various ancient books and storybooks...

"Tsk tsk, you're a scholar! Of course I love reading..."

Lin Chen muttered, the Jade Belt Scholar collected no less than a thousand ancient books on various techniques and techniques.

Of course, most of them are street stuff.

But there are also dozens of books that look unusual, as if they were unique copies excavated from ancient ruins.

In addition, Lin Chen discovered that the scholar with the jade belt liked reading novels.

I especially like to read the story about the love between a mortal scholar and a fox demon...

There are no less than a hundred scripts of this type alone.

Looking at the author's name again, it turned out to be written by the scholar with the jade belt himself.

Seeing this, Lin Chen inevitably had a strange look in his eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect this jade belt scholar to have such a hobby..."

After searching carefully for a long time, Lin Chen finally got what he wanted.

A jade slip.

A jade slip recording the art of Earth Escape!

With his mind sinking into the jade slip, Lin Chen read it carefully.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen's eyes flashed with wonder.

"This Earth Escape Technique is really unusual...it's actually a magical power he found from ancient ruins!"

That's right, earth escape is the first magical power Lin Chen has ever seen!

In the world of cultivating immortals, not every spell can be called a magical power.

For example, the Caged Bird, Yin Mu Jin and others that Lin Chen learned before.

They can only be called spells.

Spells are relatively common, with acceptable power, but the cost of casting them is relatively low.

Just like the major sect forces in Yan Lai, almost all they master are magic arts.

And what is more rare and precious than magic is magical power!

The biggest feature of magical power is that it is very powerful and consumes a lot of mana and energy!

Just like this earth escape technique, if you practice it to a small extent, you can dig thousands of feet of ground in one day...

With such magical power, even for a Jade Belt Scholar, it would not be difficult for him to survive in the Nascent Soul Realm.

After all, even Nascent Soul cultivators would have a headache if they were hiding thousands of feet underground.

"It's a pity that this jade-belt scholar has not mastered the earth escape technique yet."

Lin Chen murmured.

This opening record of Earth Escape Technique comes from the "Disha Chapter" in "One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Gang Disha Magical Powers".

Earth escape technique has two major methods.

First, dig a hole!

Just like the Jade Belt Scholar, he can easily dig a hole and hide himself underground.

Second, escape!

After using this technique, the land will be like water to the monks without any hindrance.

There is no need to dig the ground, the whole person will live in the ground in a strange form, like a fish.

Once you master the Earth Escape technique, you can hide thousands of feet deep underground in an instant.

And just like swimming in water, it can travel underground, and its speed is not even much worse than flying with a royal weapon...

Whether it's in a hurry or to save your life, it's all top-notch.

The only pity is that the mana consumption of the Earth Escape Technique is too high.

And you have to escape to the ground in one breath. Once you don't have enough magic power in the middle, or you can't withstand the pressure of the land, you can only return to the shore.

"Tsk, tsk, this jade belt book is probably because I haven't mastered the art of escaping from the earth!"

"Otherwise, you could escape thousands of feet to the ground in one breath...how could you be caught by me?"

The corners of Lin Chen's mouth raised slightly.

He meets the prerequisites for earth escape practitioners - possessing earth spiritual roots!

After all, Tun Lingling has all five elements, and Lin Chen almost meets the prerequisites for learning most magical powers.

"Well, as long as I master this earth escape technique, I will have the power to protect myself even if the devil sacrifices the city..."

Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.

There are less than three days left before returning to Blue Star.

"This thousand-foot-deep underground is much safer than the one in Jade Belt City..."

Lin Chen touched his chin and simply opened a small cave three feet in diameter underground.

After that, he put Long Ba and Feng Jiu into the city to detect information for him.

As for himself, he stayed underground to practice earth escape.

"First, let's get started with the practice of earth escape. Then, even if we encounter threats, we will have more ways to save our lives..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

So I started practicing.

…

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The countdown on his arm was about to reach zero, and Lin Chen also temporarily ended his practice.

"Tsk, tsk, this Earth Escape Technique is indeed a magical power. It is really difficult to learn..."

"It took three days to barely get started?"

Lin Chen touched his chin.

He got up and went to the hole in the ground.

After performing the Earth Escape Technique, a mysterious light flashed through his body, and a layer of brown energy seemed to be attached to the surface of his body.

With his hands stretched out, he dug in the dirt in front of him.

It was almost impossible to feel the presence of the soil. After he dug away the soil, it instantly disappeared into nothingness.

In just a dozen breaths, Lin Chen dug forward two or three feet deep.

"Tsk, tsk, the speed of digging is like a thousand feet in a day..."

"It's a pity that the consumption of true energy is too great..."

Lin Chen murmured.

The core of soil escape is not the speed of digging, but how to deal with the dug soil.

This magical power can move the excavated useless soil to the surface. Otherwise, there would be nowhere to move the soil underground.

"There is also a method of escaping from the ground. The consumption of real energy is probably more than ten times that of digging into the ground..."

"Let's see first if we can master the Earth Escape Technique to a small degree!"

Lin Chen's induction of earth spiritual energy was comparable to the best earth spiritual roots.

Both in terms of qualifications and understanding, they are much higher than that of the Jade Belt Scholar.

In just three days, he almost reached the same height as the Jade Belt Scholar.

After a while, the countdown on Lin Chen's arm returned to zero.

…

Daxia Kingdom, Martial Arts Palace.

After Wang Lishan noticed the changes in Lin Chen, he felt happy and asked:

"Back?"

"Yes!" Lin Chen nodded and said, "I found something good... at least it can save my life in Jade Belt City!"

He told Wang Lishan one by one about the situations he encountered in Yudai City.

Including speculations about the Puppet Hall, the Ghost Exorcism Gate, and the newly obtained earth escape technique.

Wang Lishan was obviously very interested in Earth Escape Technique. He said:

"This Earth Escape Technique is really good... In the future, I want to form a special force to learn this Earth Escape Technique. I'm afraid it will be of great use on the battlefield!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.

Soldiers are very cunning, even on the battlefield of the martial realm, the earth escape technique is of great use!

For example, digging a secret tunnel thousands of feet deep into the ground to launch a surprise attack on the demon clan's lair...

"I heard that in the old era, there was a special force called the Mojin Colonel... I think the captain was an official position in the old era." Lin Chen said with a smile.

In addition, the promotion of Earth Escape Technique may make Brother Tu Mu lose his job...

…

Returning to Blue Star this time, Lin Chen reported the information as usual.

On the one hand, we are waiting for the think tank’s next plans and predictions.

On the other hand, Lin Chen also stepped up his practice of earth escape.

In this way, seven days passed quickly.

Lin Chen made great progress in the earth escape technique.

If you have enough true energy, it will not be a problem to dig two thousand feet deep in one day...

But unfortunately, Lin Chen's current true energy is not enough.

A maximum of a thousand feet of ground can be dug in a day.

On the day he returned to the world of immortality, Wang Lishan informed Lin Chen of the latest predictions from the think tank.

"Xiao Chen, do you still remember what you said before that the monks and mortals in Jade Belt City have lost the concept of leaving the city?"

"Of course I remember!"

Lin Chen nodded, this was the most terrifying thing he found.

If millions of people in the entire Jade Belt City lost the concept of "leaving the city", what kind of terrifying power would that be?

I'm afraid it would take an immortal to do such a method...

Wang Lishan smiled after hearing this and said:

"Would you like to hear the latest speculation from the think tank?"

"Actually, they were shocked when they found out about this. After all, it was too unbelievable for the entire city to lose the concept of leaving the city..."

"But considering your situation, and the Jade Belt Scholar, he also wants to dig in the ground to escape..."

"In the end, we came to the conclusion that this formation did not make people lose the concept of leaving the city... it just misled people's thinking to a certain extent... and made people unable to remember to leave Jade Belt City."

When Lin Chen heard this, he was convinced.

Indeed, if it were just misleading thinking, it would be too simple.

Any monk in the middle stage of Qi refining can confuse ordinary mortals by learning a little trick to confuse people's hearts.

If it is to confuse monks, the requirements for realm and soul power will be even greater...

Wang Lishan said again at this time:

"But even so, to be able to confuse the hearts of millions of people in the entire city... the power is really extraordinary!"

"According to our judgment of the power of the immortal world, it is not easy for even a Nascent Soul cultivator to do this!"

"Therefore, we guess that this formation must have some limitations..."

"For example, the reason why you are not affected by the formation and still want to leave the city is probably because your soul power is strong enough...beyond Foundation Establishment Perfection!"

"This should be a dividing line. Those who have completed the Foundation Establishment will be affected by the formation, but those who have completed the Foundation Establishment will not!"

"As for the Jade Belt Scholar, he has not been affected. On the one hand, it is because he is also in the late stage of foundation building and has a good soul... On the other hand, he has only been in Jade Belt City for a short time! He has not been affected by the formation..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen suddenly realized:

"Uncle Wang, what you mean is that this formation existed a long time ago... but it has never sealed the city. It has only gradually misled the thinking of the creatures in the city!"

"Until the formation is activated, the mortals and monks in the city have no intention of leaving Jade Belt City... naturally they won't notice any abnormalities?"

Wang Lishan nodded and said:

"Yes! But you have also overlooked one point. There are so many monks in Jade Belt City. It seems that besides you and the Jade Belt Scholar, there should be other monks who have discovered the abnormality..."

"Even among the tens of thousands of monks, is it possible that there are loose monks in the alchemy stage who are lurking and aware of it?"

"Perhaps you should go to the city and search... maybe you can find clues!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.

According to the think tank's speculation, there should still be some monks in the city who have not been affected by the formation at this time.

Or, they are aware of the formation sealing the city, but they dare not directly confront the Puppet Hall and the Ghost Exorcism Sect.

They can only lurk in secret and look for opportunities to leave the city.

If Lin Chen could find this power, the possibility of escaping from Jade Belt City would be greatly increased.

"Okay, I will pay attention to this!"

Lin Chen nodded.

Wang Lishan looked at the time and knew that it was not far before Lin Chen crossed over.

So he patted Lin Chen's shoulder and said comfortingly:

"Xiao Chen, if you really can't escape, you should hide underground in advance and calm everything down!"

"Behind you is the entire world of martial arts... Even the karma that monks are afraid of should be borne by our entire world!"

Lin Chen nodded silently after hearing this and said nothing.

Soon, a new round of time travel was reset, and Lin Chen's vision changed.

…

Outside Yudai City, there is a thousand feet deep underground.

After Lin Chen returned, he used the Earth Escape Technique to return to the ground.

At this moment, it was just dawn.

He looked in the direction of Jade Belt City and murmured:

"Originally, my idea was to go to the mass graves outside the city..."

"But now it seems that if we can find other casual cultivators in the city, it might be a better way!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen sent Long Ba and Feng Jiu to search for clues in the city.

Originally, Lin Chen didn't think about this, so he missed many details.

But after searching carefully, things became simpler.

For example, Lin Chen noticed that a few monks always sat in the inn opposite the Black Dog Gang, drinking and eating tea.

I stayed there all afternoon, and would come back every one or two days.

A few days later, Lin Chen roughly determined the identities of these monks.

So Long Ba and Feng Jiu were sent to contact them.

…

The inn opposite the Black Dog Gang.

Feng Jiu walked into the inn, looked around and then came to sit down at a table.

At this time, two monks were already sitting on the table, chatting and laughing.

After seeing Feng Jiu, he was a little confused and said:

"Fellow Taoist, what can I do for you?"

Feng Jiu frowned and snorted coldly:

"I've been watching you for a long time! Have you been following me all this time?"

After hearing this, the two foundation-building monks on the opposite side changed their expressions and coughed twice:

"Daoyou, you think too much..."

"Think too much? If I think too much, why do you change your expressions?"

After saying that, Fengjiu reached out and grabbed the monk's wrist.

After the monk felt the huge force on his wrist, his expression suddenly changed.

The other monk who was traveling with him wanted to resist, but was also grabbed by Long Ba.

Afterwards, Long Ba and Fengjiu dragged the two monks away from the Black Dog Gang's station and walked into a room in the inn.

"Two...two Daoists! You misunderstood!"

The two monks who were trying to find out the information about the Black Dog Gang suddenly changed their expressions and said hurriedly.

They had never seen such a bluffing cultivator who would fight over a disagreement...

Feng Jiu snorted coldly after hearing this:

"Of course I know you are not following me!"

"Are you...really investigating the Black Dog Gang? Or...are you investigating the three strange things in the city?"

After hearing this, the two cultivators' faces changed slightly, and they asked tentatively:

"My two Taoist friends, what do you mean..."

"Yes, we are also investigating! Why don't we share some information with each other?"

Feng Jiu said calmly.

After hearing this, the two cultivators looked at each other and said:

"It turns out that there are still Taoist friends in the city who have not lost their minds... In this case, the two Taoist friends, please follow us..."
