Chapter 160 Crossing the Zone
After returning to Qin from Han, Zhang Liang and the man in straw raincoat stayed briefly in Xinzheng. Zhang Liang was still concerned about his family's affairs, but after hearing the various news reported by the man in straw raincoat, his worries gradually dissipated.
Now Zhang Liang has also established a considerable power, with intelligence networks, business lines, secret assassins and many expert bodyguards. It can be said that both wealth and strength should not be underestimated. Although it is not as deep as the foundation of the various schools of thought that have gone through hundreds of years, compared with ordinary nobles from various countries, Zhang Liang's strength is already very strong.
As time goes by, the core force directly under Zhang Liang will only become stronger. In ten years, it will become a force that can influence the world situation.
Although he had no intention of competing for hegemony, Zhang Liang did need such a force. About two months after leaving home, Han State had also undergone significant changes. Although the king was incompetent, with the strong assistance of Han Fei, Han State gradually regained stability. Fortunately, the Qin State was busy dealing with the Lu Buwei incident, and the Wei State was experiencing a change of kingship, so it was unable to send large-scale troops to attack Han State, which gave Han State a chance to breathe.
No longer paying too much attention to the changes in Han State, Zhang Liang rested in the Taoist temple for a night, and then went straight to the Baiyue area with Bei Mingzi the next morning, with only a little monkey accompanying him.
The Baiyue region was full of dangers, with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts roaming everywhere. Even masters of the Grandmaster level would perish here. In some places, even masters above the Grandmaster level could not escape unscathed. A few days later, Zhang Liang had penetrated deep into the heart of the Baiyue region. He sat under a huge tree, looking a little disheveled, his white robe stained with dirt and blood.
"Old man, you did it on purpose!" Zhang Liang looked at Bei Mingzi, who was smiling and looked like an immortal, with dissatisfaction. He had just experienced a fierce battle, and if he had not been so fast, he would have been seriously injured.
"Hey, I reminded you to be careful a long time ago, but you didn't take it seriously. Now you're suffering the consequences!" Bei Mingzi said with a smile.
Zhang Liang was speechless. He was indeed too careless. On the one hand, he relied on his martial arts skills, and on the other hand, he had Bei Mingzi to take care of him. More importantly, Baiyue was indeed a treasure land. In just a few days, he encountered many precious medicinal herbs and materials.
Not long ago, Zhang Liang found a cliff several dozen feet high, which was densely packed with beehives. From a distance, he could feel the extremely strong spiritual energy of the honey there, which was very beneficial for martial artists. Zhang Liang couldn't help himself, and jumped up with his lightness skills to collect a lot of honey and put it into the storage space. He originally wanted to ask Bei Mingzi for help, but the old man was watching the fun nearby. As a result, Zhang Liang was chased by a group of bees for dozens of miles and was in a mess.
"Old fellow, the land of Baiyue is too different from the Central Plains. It seems to have a primitive and barbaric atmosphere..." Zhang Liang pondered.
"Discovered it? Haha, outside of Kyushu, it's originally a wild land, not suitable for human habitation. It's not just Baiyue, other places are the same as well. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth contains a strange breath." Bei Mingzi replied with a smile.
"What's going on?" Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask the reason.
It had been a few days since he set foot in Baiyue, and Zhang Liang had always felt that something was wrong here. Although the spiritual energy here was more abundant than in the Central Plains, it was mixed with a strange aura that was not suitable for cultivation. The aura seemed to come from the ancient prehistoric times, ancient, mysterious, powerful and violent.
"This old Taoist doesn't know much about it either. Legend has it that in ancient times, all races in the world were fighting for supremacy. The human race was weak and found it difficult to survive in the wild lands. Later, the human race grew stronger. Dayu demarcated the borders of the Nine Provinces, expelled the barbarians, and used the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the Nine Provinces to make them suitable for human life." Bei Mingzi said calmly.
"If you go further away from the Central Plains, will you be able to feel this mysterious and ancient aura more, but will it also be more unsuitable for cultivation?" Zhang Liang continued to ask.
"That's right, I've been to the Arctic and saw with my own eyes a giant bear fighting with a big fish. They broke through the glaciers of dozens of miles. Even though they were dozens of miles away, I didn't dare to go forward. I'm afraid that giant bear's power is close to that of a saint!" Bei Mingzi exclaimed.
Zhang Liang was silent for a moment. He was now convinced that there was some kind of innate barrier in this world, which was what people called the Sage Barrier, which made it impossible for innate power to exist in this world. However, the traces left from the ancient times clearly showed that in ancient times, the innate realm was not considered a master at all, and people nowadays can only approach that level infinitely, but can never really break through.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin. I was originally worried that the thin spiritual energy would prevent me from breaking through the innate realm. But now it seems that since these borderland wilderness can breed such powerful spiritual beasts, they must also have high-level natural treasures hidden in them."
"If there is really no other way, then I will hunt down spirit beasts and extract their blood essence. I don't believe that I can't break through this way!"
