Chapter 342: Ground Mark
When the pressure under the earth's crust reaches its limit, the signs of an earthquake begin to brew deep in the earth like a giant beast about to wake up.
The ground trembled slightly, as if the earth was yawning.
However, perceptive warriors could sense that this was no ordinary vibration, but a warning of an impending catastrophe.
At a certain moment, the earth's crust shook violently, as if an irresistible force was released from deep within the earth.
The entire Kyushu area was shaking, the mountains were swaying and crumbling, and the cracks in the road were like ghostly dragons shuttling through the ground.
The footsteps of the earthquake sounded like thunder, and everything was reduced to ruins wherever it passed.
In its aftermath, countless creatures were like fallen leaves in the wind and rain, helpless and pitiful.
Without thinking too much, Lu Changjing stepped out of the imperial study and activated the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array. Regardless of the consumption of spirit stones, he guarded the capital city of Dajing.
As soon as the Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array was activated, the entire Baiyujing began to shake violently, like a lone boat in the ocean, almost capsizing.
The area outside that was not protected by the Zhoutian Xingdou formation had turned into a hell on earth, with mountains collapsing, the earth cracking, and rivers reversing... Except for high-level warriors who could still resist a little, those creatures below the high-level warriors had almost no resistance and were swept away by the earthquake, falling into a life-and-death crisis.
The entire Dajing Dynasty was like a towel being kneaded by a giant, forced into different postures, with almost no power to resist.
Even with Lu Changjing's strength, he could only rely on the Zhoutian Star Array to defend Baiyujing from being destroyed by the earthquake. He could not do anything else.
As far as the eye can see, the sky and the earth have turned black, as if it were the end of the world.
There were bursts of screams and cries coming from afar, but Lu Changjing was powerless to do anything about it. Although he was the number one person in the land of Jiuzhou, he could not withstand such terrifying power from heaven.
The earthquake lasted for dozens of breaths, but the damage it caused was enough to turn nearly half of Kyushu into ruins, and countless humans and demons and monsters died in an instant.
After the earthquake subsided, Lu Changjing rushed towards the source of the earthquake. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be in the East China Sea area.
With the big and small Ruyi, Nine Dragon Boots, Phoenix Cloak...all these things added up, within a few breaths, they had arrived at the East China Sea and appeared in a bottomless trench.
Seeing the situation in the trench, Lu Changjing felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but shudder.
A crack a thousand miles long appeared in this trench. In other words, because of this unprecedented earthquake, a scar in the sky was created in the depths of the East China Sea. Of course, perhaps the name "scar in the earth" is more appropriate because it is deep in the earth.
This mark on the ground is longer and wider than the one in the Tianzhong area. If it is discovered by demons and monsters outside, they can break through this place faster by attacking from here.
Fortunately, this trace of the ground is hidden quite deeply and should not have been discovered by the monsters and demons from the outside world. In addition, it is blocked by the Jiuzhou barrier and is not so easy to sense. It is still relatively safe in the short term. It just depends on how long it will be discovered.
Lu Changjing also discovered that the epicenter of this earthquake was exactly where Dinghaizhu was located before.
Could it be that the Dinghai Pearl was taken away, which caused this unprecedented earthquake?
But that’s not right. The area where Dinghaizhu was located collapsed on its own and had nothing to do with Lu Changjing.
Judging from the strange phenomenon that appeared at that time, it was most likely related to problems in the sea area where it was located, which led to the collapse of the center of the formation where the Dinghai Pearl was located.
Even if Lu Changjing had not taken the Dinghai Pearl away, with the collapse of the center of the formation, the Dinghai Pearl would no longer be able to play any role.
Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with me taking the Dinghai Pearl away, but it is definitely related to the collapse of the center of the formation where the Dinghai Pearl is located.
With the collapse of the center of the formation, the Dinghai Pearl can no longer play any role, so it will cause a chain reaction afterwards, which is very likely.
Thinking of this, Lu Changjing suddenly realized that this Dinghai Pearl was much more important than he had imagined.
"The epicenter is in this area. Let's take a look and see what's going on. Is there any treasure that has appeared?"
"Such a big earthquake affected half of Kyushu. If a treasure is unearthed, it must be a very powerful treasure."
"Don't talk nonsense. Take a look at the situation first. Maybe it's just a simple earthquake."
……
There was a burst of noise in my ears. It turned out that a group of masters had found this place and wanted to enter the epicenter to see the situation.
"This place has been taken over by the Jiuzhou Alliance. You guys can go back."
Lu Changjing frowned and waved his sleeves casually. A group of masters who had just entered the sea were blown thousands of miles away before they could react to what was happening.
"The Jiuzhou Alliance is so fast. We are so close and we are not the first to arrive. It must be the gods and demons from the Jiuzhou Alliance who have come."
"There must be something good here, otherwise the Jiuzhou Alliance wouldn't have been able to block this place. We've missed a great opportunity."
"Oh, let's go, let's go. If the imperial court takes action, who can resist? Stop fantasizing."
……
This group of masters sighed with regret and left the sea area.
Lu Changjing ignored them and immediately began to set up a magic formation to cover up the area to prevent anyone from discovering the existence of the ground mark.
If this is known to some demons and human warriors in Kyushu, there is no guarantee that there may not be spies among them who will tell the world-destroying demons and monsters outside.
Unfortunately, his strength is limited and his attainments in formation are not enough. If he could cover the outside world with the Jiuzhou barrier, it would be safer.
Now we can only cover up this area inside, which is not that safe. I hope the monsters outside can find it later.
The Earth Mark is located deep in the earth. The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the area where the East China Sea is located is also relatively poor, so there should be no powerful monsters. The Kyushu Barrier is like a sphere, covering the entire Kyushu land. There is no dead corner in the sky or on the ground. The Sky Mark is located in the middle of the sphere, and the Earth Mark is located in the southeast bottom of the sphere.
The mark in the sky is conspicuous and cannot be concealed at all, while the mark on the ground is more hidden. Unfortunately, his concealing formation cannot extend to the outside, so it can only cover the inside to prevent the traitors from noticing anything unusual.
As for the outside world, we can only pray that the monsters outside will discover it later.
However, through this vague mark on the ground, Lu Changjing could vaguely discover that the opposite side should be very deep underground, and there was a faint chill leaking in from outside the mark on the ground.
This also allowed Lu Changjing to confirm one thing, that is, outside the Jiuzhou Barrier, there was also extremely cold weather occurring, and the impact was far greater than inside the Jiuzhou Barrier.
This place is protected by the Kyushu Barrier, and I don’t know how much extreme cold air it has blocked.
In order to prevent more people from knowing the existence of the Mark of the Ground, Lu Changjing only allowed the Soul-Picking Slaves and the Divine Array Masters among the Nine Dragon Slaves to come and build a group of divine arrays near the Mark of the Ground to completely seal off the area.
He even specially assigned two soul-picking slaves to guard the area to prevent anyone from approaching.
Of course, it is also for early warning. If any problem is found, Lu Changjing can be notified immediately so that he can respond.
After returning to Baiyujing, Lu Changjing practiced even harder and set up a treasure hunting team to search the world for all kinds of natural treasures and magical pills that could help him break through his limits.
Once he comes across something, he will buy it if he can. If he can't buy it, he will steal or rob it. If necessary, Lu Changjing will take action himself and snatch the item away.
With his current strength, no individual or force in Kyushu can resist him.
The situation is becoming more and more critical now. This is no longer the time to be indecisive. If these guys don't sell him the rare treasures and magical pills and medicines he needs, it means they want to kill the entire human race and the entire Kyushu land. Lu Changjing will naturally not let them off easily.
In this crazy search, dozens of treasures that could help break through the limit were looted. Lu Changjing took them directly, constantly expanding and improving the limit, and impacting the semi-profound realm.
The appearance of the ground mark made him feel strongly threatened, and he could no longer care about anything else, even if it would delay disaster relief.
If the Kyushu barrier is broken, both the human race and this land will suffer a devastating disaster. Compared to this, it doesn't matter if some humans are sacrificed.
As for those demons and monsters, they are already being sacrificed, so there is no need to worry about them.
The crazy looting and practice that lasted for several months brought Lu Changjing much closer to becoming a semi-profound god or demon. However, he was too tense and needed to take a break occasionally.
At this time, Lu Changjing received news that Lin Yixin had mastered the secret art of dragon and phoenix, and her spirit, energy and spirit had all broken through the demigod realm and could break free from the shackles of gods and demons.
It was just the right opportunity to help him break through the shackles of gods and demons. Lu Changjing could also take a break, and this would not affect his practice.
Before Lu Changjing sent anyone over, Lin Yixin had already asked people to make arrangements and was waiting for Lu Changjing's visit.
Xinxiang Palace was soon decorated like a fairyland, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants everywhere. Even Princess Heluo came to Xinxiang Palace in person to decorate it for her daughter.
Although she is said to be Lin Yixin's mother, she looks more like her sister. She is quite similar to Lin Yixin, and Lu Changjing almost made a mistake about her.
However, it felt a bit embarrassing to let his mother-in-law decorate the new house for him, so Lu Changjing also sent people to help.
Her skin is as white as ice and her breasts are exposed. Her eyebrows are as green as willow and her eyes are as bright as silver. She has a pretty face like the moon and a pure personality.
Its body is like a swallow hiding in the willows, and its voice is like an oriole singing in the forest. The half-bloomed crabapple tree blocks the morning sun, and the just-bloomed peony brings out the spring love.
The wedding started soon, and it was also Lu Changjing's compensation to his lovers. After all, he had never held a wedding with Lin Yixin before, so he took this opportunity to make up for it.
King Heluo also came. After the greetings, they performed the corresponding rituals. Then Lu Changjing walked towards the bridal chamber.
I am glad that today the wedding ceremony is completed and the marriage is concluded. I will write poems about Guanju and sing elegant songs about the unicorn's feet.
Ruiye prospers for five generations, and auspiciousness brings prosperity to the two southern regions.
With one heart and one mind, they are a good match for the family. Treat each other with respect and live in harmony forever. Help each other sincerely and make a vow of love.
This certificate!
When Lin Yixin's red headscarf was lifted, it was discovered that the girl was already in tears, and in her starry eyes, there was only Lu Changjing's figure, and no one else's.
Ning Zhongyu, her childhood sweetheart, had long since disappeared without a trace. All these years of loving each other and supporting each other had made Lin Yixin's heart filled with only Lu Changjing and no one else.
Lu Changjing also felt warm in his heart. Even though it was not the first time, he was still moved by this little devil.
He directly picked her up, placed her on the jade bed, and whispered in her ear: "Make a thousand wishes before the pillow, and wait until the green mountains decay before you rest."
"I wish I were like a star and you were like a moon, shining brightly every night." Lin Yixin murmured with tears in her eyes. Her feelings for Lu Changjing reached an extreme.
As soon as he started, Lu Changjing was so immersed in it that he almost didn't know where he was.
The feeling of being so perfectly matched as if they were one was truly intoxicating. Perhaps it was because of the deep love, or perhaps it was because they had waited too long, the first harmony between him and Lin Yixin was unprecedented.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, leading Lu Changjing and Lin Yixin to enlightenment, and they had no idea where they were.
As if assisted by a god, Lin Yixin has begun to break through the shackles of gods and demons. She has taken the auxiliary magical items one by one in an orderly manner, and at the same time, she has been carrying out the process of breaking through the levels fluently, as if she has done it thousands of times.
The help brought by epiphany is so great that it far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people. In this situation, there is almost no possibility of failure. After all, Lin Yixin has prepared so much.
Lin Yixin's sudden realization was to break through the shackles of gods and demons, but Lu Changjing's sudden realization was not in this direction, but in another direction.
