Chapter 80: Introduction to Earth Walking
On the first day, I encountered sand haze that might help me comprehend the art of earth walking. I was lucky.
After living in the newly built hut for three days, Sean also went to the nearby main god's army. Through Layton's introduction, Sean also got to know several other higher gods.
Even in several fights, Sean did not use his physical strength or soul stone energy, but simply relied on his profound skills to easily defeat several ordinary upper gods.
After the fight, Layton said with a smile: "Sean, once you become a high god, you can definitely travel freely throughout the continents of the Earth God Plane. This is indeed much more comfortable than us, the members of the Lord God's army."
"How many continents are there in this Earth God Plane?" Sean asked.
“Oh, I almost forgot, you don’t know yet.” Layton nodded and said, “In my Earth God Plane, there are seven continents and two oceans.
We are now in Kunyun Continent. The other six continents are
They are: Xuanwu Continent, Beituo Continent, Xuran Continent, Anyang Continent, Jinqiu Continent and Tiansha Continent, which is the largest continent and located in the middle of the Earth God Plane.
The two oceans are the Sea of Chaos and the Sea of Broken Stars.
More than 80% of the entire God Plane is land, which is the opposite of the Water God Plane. "
"That's good. I also like staying in the mainland." Sean said with a smile.
"Also, there are a total of 72 palaces in the Earth God Plane, and the lord of each palace is the most powerful upper god. You will be able to find out about these later." Leighton said with a smile.
"Okay. Thanks." Sean nodded.
Then, Layton talked about some things in the divine plane.
The prefecture where they lived was called Qiyun Prefecture, which covered an area of more than 15 billion miles.
The teleportation array of Kunyun Continent is located in a place called Huangqi Mountains. There is yellow sand for tens of millions of miles around it, which makes it relatively easier to form haze.
Moreover, there are many bandits within the Huangsha Group, and there are even quite a few five-star masters who specialize in robbing caravans that are teleporting across dimensions.
Of course, there are also experts in the caravan, it just depends on who is stronger and who is weaker.
As long as they don't cause trouble around the teleportation array managed by the Lord God's army, or interfere with the Lord God's army's transport team, the Lord God's army will not care about these things and can kill them however they want. And these bandits, no matter how strong they are, will not be so stupid as to provoke the Lord God's army.
In fact, some people in the Lord God's army are happy to see such a situation, because firstly, they are very bored themselves. They have been trapped around the teleportation array for billions of years and cannot leave. They would be bored to death if there is nothing exciting. Secondly, encountering a battle with masters is also a possible opportunity for them to improve. Although the probability is also very small, it is better than nothing.
"This divine plane is really dangerous." Sean said with a smile after listening to the most basic introduction.
Without the escort of the army of the main god of the teleportation array, ordinary middle-level gods would not be able to get out alive.
Before, he thought that only robbers were dangerous, but for many low-level lives, the harsh natural environment was even more dangerous.
"Of course." Layton laughed and said, "The God Plane should be a paradise for the strong."
"Layton, where is the nearest city?" Sean asked again.
If he could comprehend the art of walking on the ground in the haze, or if he failed for a long time, Sean would still have to leave here and head for the city.
He needed to stay in the city safely for a while, so that he could eat the divine nature in peace and inquire about the news of the four sacred beasts' families.
"About 3500 million miles to the south, there is a city called Luofeng City," Leighton replied.
"3500 million miles?" Sean nodded. It was indeed very far. Besides, he didn't have metal life.
"Lighton, do you have any extra metal lives? I can buy one from you. It has to be fast and the size is not a big requirement." Sean asked again.
"A fast one? Yes, there are, but a fast one costs a lot of divine crystals. Do you have one? Or I can sell you some divine crystals." Leighton was very straightforward.
However, he quickly remembered that Sean had just come from the material plane, and asked again: "What do you want to trade?"
"What's the price for a metal life like this?" Sean asked.
"I have one that meets your requirements. I remember the price I paid for it before. It was almost one million Yao stones. I will sell it to you at the original price. How about it?" Leighton said.
"Then, do you know how much a golden soul bead costs?" Sean asked again.
"About 20 Yaoshi, right?" Leighton said.
"20? So expensive?" Sean asked in surprise. In the hell in the original book, it only costs 10 ink stones. Although the currency value cannot be the same, the gap is a bit big.
Layton explained: "Yes, this thing actually depends on which plane it is in. For example, in the underworld, there are many masters who practice the rules of death, so it is much cheaper. In the other three supreme planes, it will also be better.
But in the God Plane, there are relatively few people who practice the Rules of Death. Although there are some Death Rules masters who come to the Earth God Plane to collect souls and make soul gold beads, they are still no match for those in the Supreme Plane. "
"That's right." Sean nodded, then took out six soul gold beads and said, "How about I buy it with this?"
Although he has a lot of treasures, many of them are not worth showing off, or the prices are too high and inconvenient to trade, such as the Death Puppet, the Higher Godhead, and so on.
The Golden Soul Bead is the most useless to him, but the most practical treasure to others.
With the Panlong Ring, he only needs the purple crystal.
Of course, as Layton said, the prices of many things in different planes are different. Amethyst is definitely more valuable here than in hell.
But its practicality is not as good as the Golden Soul Bead, and its price is certainly far less.
"Oh, okay, then I'll give you a few more divine crystals." Leighton didn't care and said with a smile.
He was not a professional businessman, and it was fine as long as he could break even. It wasn't much money anyway. For a higher god, especially one who was serving in the main god's army, a better metal life was nothing.
Improving strength is the most important thing. He dreams of integrating the mysteries, but unfortunately, he can't do it no matter what.
Sean in front of him may be the only one who has the patience to communicate or fight with him.
Then Sean also tried the metal life and then put it away. Layton said again: "However, if you are just an ordinary metal life, it will not work to pass through the sand haze. You need an additional magic circle to protect it. Such metal life is much more expensive and consumes a lot of divine crystals.
So if you want to go to other planes through the teleportation array, this is the most basic test, either you have strength or financial resources. "
"Don't worry, I will get out with my own strength." Sean said with a faint smile.
He had already tested the edge of the sand haze, so it would be easy for him to go over there.
"But where is your wife?" Leighton asked curiously.
"I have my own way," Sean said.
It is not difficult for a higher god to pass through this sand haze. If even a higher god cannot pass through it, then this thing is too outrageous.
"Okay." Layton didn't ask any further questions. Who doesn't have a secret of their own? Besides, Sean's strength is simply stronger than theirs.
Everyone was discussing together various profound ways of understanding, integrating and applying things, and occasionally they even started to fight.
However, after so many people spent nearly a month, there was still no progress.
This is actually normal. If it were so easy to comprehend or even integrate the mysteries, then the Seven-Star Shuras in the divine plane would be easy to get.
One day, after several people from the Kunyuan Army left, Lacelia came out with some tea in her hand. This was a specialty of the Earth God Plane, which Sean traded with some soldiers around him.
"How is it?" asked Lesilia.
"I'm going to go deep into the haze to experience the overwhelming yellow sand. Do you want to come with me?" Sean asked with a smile.
Lesilia said: "No, I'd better practice here, you can just leave your Dark God clone here.
My Law of Light, when I was in the Zhongyuan Continent, the third mysterious light clone began to merge with the light element.
It will take some time to merge into the bottleneck before reaching the great success, and I am not sure about the time.”
"It's indeed not a long-term solution here. I'll try to comprehend the earth-walking technique in the haze first. We'll go to the city later, where we can practice with peace of mind." Sean nodded and said.
It was a blessing to be able to get started. Sean did not expect to be able to achieve great success or even integration. If he wanted to practice with peace of mind, he still had to go to the city.
If it weren't for the rare opportunity of the sand haze, he wouldn't have stayed here on purpose.
"Okay." Lesilia nodded.
The next day, Sean separated his Earth God avatar and went alone to the edge of the sand haze thousands of miles away.
Along the way, they encountered several groups of bandits and even some higher gods, but they were all killed easily by Sean.
Soon, Sean came to the edge of the haze and rushed in without any hesitation.
"Swish, swish, swish..." The sound of fine yellow sand colliding was heard, but it was blocked by a layer of earth power on Sean's body.
"Although this attack is not strong, it is very wearying." Sean felt it.
The attack power is indeed not strong, and the limit of the sanctuary may be able to withstand it for a moment, but the amount of sand is too much. It is estimated that the power of the lower gods will be exhausted in a short time, and the middle gods will not be able to hold on for long.
Once the divine power is exhausted, the defensive artifacts on the body may not last long.
Unless you master the art of walking on the ground, you can blend into the yellow sand, or burrow into the ground.
"Merge as one with the yellow sand?" Sean sat inside the sand haze, withdrew his divine power, and allowed countless grains of sand to hit him.
Although I can't break the defense, this feeling is still very uncomfortable.
This "earth-walking technique", to put it simply, is to merge the body with the earth, making oneself feel as if he is on the surface.
As early as when he was in the Holy Land, Sean could perform this kind of magic, but he had never been able to comprehend the basics of this magic.
The yellow sand all over the sky at this moment is also part of the earth, but it has been blown into the sky.
Although the yellow sand is moving fast, it still appears and disappears from time to time, but the time when it disappears is very short.
If you want to become one with the yellow sand, you must constantly switch the state of your body. From this point of view, the requirements for earth walking skills are really high.
Feeling the dust all over the sky, Sean's spiritual sense covered the largest range, feeling the billions of dust, trying to merge with them, and then recalling the most basic ninth-level magic drilling technique in the material plane.
Suddenly, a grain of sand passed directly through his body.
There was no collision, but it went straight through. It seemed that, at that moment, the grain of sand ignored Sean's body.
"Reverse walking?" Sean had an idea.
The earth walking technique is that a person moves through the earth. However, in the sand haze, if you want to use the earth walking technique, you have to do it the other way around. You have to let the sand haze move through your body.
The principle is the same, which is to integrate into one and not interfere with each other.
Grasping this bit of inspiration, Sean immediately closed his eyes, feeling the yellow sand in the sky, letting it hit his body.
However, the previous shuttle did not appear again until a month later, followed by 20 days and 15 days.
The time was getting shorter and shorter, and the amount of dust that could ignore his body and pass through was increasing.
Three years later, within the haze.
Sean's figure flashed and he appeared a thousand meters away. At this moment, he had already mastered the art of earth walking.
However, it was just the beginning. Of the sand and haze in the sky, less than 1% could merge with his body and pass through it without any obstacles. Moreover, most of the time, he couldn't control it and it only appeared and disappeared from time to time. It was still a long way from precise control.
