I Have A City In An Alternate World

Chapter 3829: Pause and wait _1
 

These cultivators from the sects who were avoiding the disaster would never know Tang Zhen’s identity, let alone know that he was actually the source of the disaster.

Even if they knew, so what? the Xihe realm’s godly monarch was defeated by Tang Zhen. How could they, mere cultivators, defy the heavens?

The reason why Tang Zhen pointed it out was because these sect cultivators were quite interesting.

The sect leader was pedantic and paranoid, and so were the disciples. They were clearly facing a great disaster, but they were still “stubborn.”

Compared to other cultivation practitioners, they were indeed very special.

However, an interesting soul could not save a life. In the face of this catastrophe, he could not hold onto the slightest bit of luck.

As for whether the other party would listen to his advice and give up on the people or destroy his own cultivation, these had nothing to do with Tang Zhen.

There wouldn’t be any karma that would be connected to Tang Zhen.

They continued to patrol forward and in the blink of an eye, they had traveled another million miles and were gradually approaching the border of the Xihe great realm.

However, up until now, they had not found any useful clues.

When they escaped from the primogenitor star, they were all very careful. They would never leave any clues.

The purpose of doing so was naturally to avoid the pursuit of the cultivators of Lou Cheng.

If there were clues left behind everywhere, that would be the real abnormality, and they would definitely suspect that it was a trap set by the enemy.

Tang Zhen contacted the other God kings and confirmed that they were all empty-handed.

Such an outcome was actually within expectations.

Divine King powerhouses choosing to avoid the battle, there was simply no possibility of clashing.

If they wanted to hide, even if they searched for tens of thousands of years, they might not be able to find traces of the other party.

The only thing he could do now was to continue to guard the Xihe realm and wait for the cornerstone platform’s next order.

Tang Zhen stopped his pursuit and entered an abandoned sect.

The sect’s defensive formation had completely stopped operating, revealing the mysterious Grotto-heaven’s welfare.

Tang Zhen could confirm with a single glance that the defensive formation had been intentionally stopped. Moreover, all the materials needed to maintain its operation had been taken out.

Apparently, the cultivators of the sect had fled to the outside of the Xihe great realm after hearing about the disaster.

Not only the sect’s protective array, but all the valuable areas had been severely damaged.

Running and passing down this sect might take hundreds or thousands of years. If he wanted to destroy it, he might be able to do it overnight.

The sect in front of him looked rather desolate, no longer full of spiritual energy like it used to.

Inside the sect, there were many mortals. They were chopping firewood and cooking, picking wild fruits under the trees, and looking for wild herbs in the trampled spiritual herb garden.

In the eyes of the cultivators who were fleeing, such a medicinal herb was like a weed. However, to ordinary people, it was a real life-saving medicine.

When they saw Tang Zhen slowly walking over, these commoners did not panic. Some of them even bowed towards him.

Looking at Tang Zhen’s attire, one would know that he was definitely not a mortal.

Tang Zhen lightly smiled and nodded. He slowly walked around the sect and soon stood under a tree in a square.

In front of him was an old man carrying a bucket of bright red fruits. It was obvious that he had just washed them with spring water.

There was a cauldron in front of the old man, which should have been an item used by the sect for alchemy in the past. When the cultivators left, they left it behind because it was not of much value.

In the end, it fell into the hands of the old man and became a tool for cooking food.

There was a runic magic circle on the cauldron. As long as liquid was added, it would automatically heat up. The old man had clearly discovered the use of the medicinal cauldron, so he used it as a big pot for cooking.

If it was in the past, the old man’s behavior would be considered treasonous and would definitely be severely punished by the cultivators.

In order to protect their dignity, cultivators had strange and harsh rules. Once violated, they would be severely punished.

However, as the cultivators fled, the once glorious sect was abandoned, and the mortals who were suppressed and driven became the sect’s residents.

“Old man, you know about runic magic circles?”

Tang Zhen looked at the old man and asked with a smile.

“I’m just a tailor, and I don’t know anything about runic magic circles, but I’ve heard many similar rumors.

The reason why I found this cauldron was because my little grandson was so naughty that he peed on it. ”

Tang Zhen immediately laughed after hearing these words.

“Interesting,”

In the temple not far away, there was indeed a large family. Their faces were weather-beaten, as well as inextinguishable fatigue and fear.

“Did you enter this sect to avoid disaster?”

The old man nodded, indicating that he had fled with his family because he had heard of the impending catastrophe.

After fleeing for a period of time, he heard that the calamity this time was only targeted at cultivators.

Although the news was re-released, the majority of the people were still skeptical.

The old man couldn’t bear to see his family wander around, but he felt that it was meaningless. Even if a mortal could travel nearly a hundred miles a day, they were not qualified to be compared with cultivators.

Therefore, he made a prompt decision to stop moving forward.

It just so happened that there was a sect nearby, and the mountain was full of sweet wild fruits, so the old man took the dozens of people into the sect to rest for a while.

Not only the old man’s family, but dozens of other families also followed him up the mountain.

They couldn’t escape, and they didn’t want to. They just stayed in the sect, leaving their lives to fate.

While he was talking to Tang Zhen, the fruit in the cauldron had already been cooked. The old man repeatedly crushed and picked it, turning it into a pile of sticky fruit congee.

During the boiling process, the old man also crushed some leaves to extract juice and filled the Golden jar beside him.

To mortals, this was a very valuable item, but to cultivators, it was just a common item.

The cultivators of the sect fled, and the Golden jar was also casually thrown on the ground.

To the old man, the Golden jar couldn’t be used to exchange for food and drink. Its only use was to serve as tableware.

He scooped out the cooked flesh and placed it on a Golden Square plate at the side. Then, he poured in the tree Juice and stirred it.

It didn’t take long before it condensed into a jelly-like state.

This Golden Square plate was also engraved with a runic magic circle, which had a cooling effect.

The old man took out a short knife. There was also a runic magic circle on it, but it was of the lowest grade.

They were all tools used by cultivators when they concocted pills. When they were evacuated, they were thrown away together and became cooking tools for the old man.

Using the wild fruits of the sect and his own experience, the old man made a pot of food.

It looked good and was beneficial to the body and mind.

“Sir, would you like to try it?”

The old man looked at Tang Zhen and tried to ask. He was actually in a difficult position and did not know if he should speak.

He was afraid of offending if he opened his mouth, but if he didn’t open his mouth, it would seem rude, which was indeed embarrassing.

The more noble a person was, the harder it was to entertain them. If they were even more unreasonable, things would be even more difficult to handle.

“Many thanks.”

Tang Zhen picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste. The sweetness and tenderness of the fruit and the gum gave it a unique taste.

A few children had already run over and surrounded the old man, asking for food. The old man’s family also came over one after another.

After they saw Tang Zhen, they bowed and saluted one after another. It was obvious that they all had a good upbringing.

The other commoners watched from afar, or were busy cooking food, sewing and repairing clothes and shoes.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Tang Zhen slowly walked forward and found an uninhabited house to be used as a temporary residence.

When the commoners saw this, they heaved a sigh of relief.

They could tell that Tang Zhen was extraordinary and were afraid of being chased down the mountain or being punished.

They had been wandering around and were in urgent need of a place to settle down. If they were to be driven out of the sect, it would be difficult for them to have any chance of survival.
