The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Since the Blood Moon Strike incident.

The nights in Irondor become extremely dark——

Compared to the previous moon.

The split crescent moon is much smaller in size and brightness.

The extra starlight brought by the big tear hardly makes up for the lack of moonlight.

This resulted in a little darkening of the night.

The world of Irondor became groggy.

This is particularly evident in the Helen Mountains, which has the highest average altitude in Irondor.

Sometimes the stars twinkle brightly in the night sky.

But a faint dark cloud passed by.

The earth is deep.

Matthew transformed into a raven, moving through layers of wind with agility.

He searched among the mountains, feeling their pulse and breath.

"Still up there."

Follow powerful perceptions.

He followed a mountain peak that stood like a scabbard among the mountains, flying higher and higher.

Later.

The raven's form could no longer support itself.

Matthew first transformed into a pterosaur.

Finally, it turned into a silver dragon.

Only in this way can the upward trend be maintained.

In the blink of an eye.

He has reached an altitude of about 15,000 meters!

The air here is so thin that it seems like it doesn't exist anymore. The silver dragon flaps its wings gently, and a layer of frost will fall from time to time!

"At this height, before I changed it, I was almost touching the permanent barrier."

"But now, there is still a lot of room for growth."

Matthew raised his head and quietly looked at the mountain that was still rising.

After the big tear.

The terrain of Irondor has undergone great changes, and the collapse of the eternal barrier has opened the sky's limit.

at the same time.

The integration of many other demiplanes has resulted in new topography appearing in many places in the material world.

Take, for example, the mountain peak in front of Matthew.

Before he came to the Helen Mountains, he had never seen this dangerous peak that was as slender as a sky pillar. It must have been the product of the integration of secondary planes.

The silver dragon shook its tail and continued upward.

It's about 18,000 meters.

Matthew slowed down his flight speed.

Because when he arrived at this place, he sensed the person he was looking for!

He looked up.

This place is too high above the clouds, so the view is pretty good.

Above are the stars on the mountainside.

The pillar-like peak gradually reached the top of the mountain.

Not far away.

A tiny black dot was sitting in the sky, and Matthew noticed a very thin white cloud beneath him.

Before Matthew could get closer.

The black spot quickly ran towards Matthew.

With every step he takes, the white clouds will dissipate and appear where he will step next.

So back and forth.

The black shadow arrived in front of Matthew in a few leaps!

Matthew released his silver dragon form.

The dark shadow facing the starlight also revealed its true face——

He is an old man wearing simple monk robes with white beard and hair.

Cloud-climbing monk.

Walking in the clouds and walking on the snow leave no trace.

Matthew recognized the old man's identity and the ability he had just used when running in the sky.

Cloud-Climbing Monk is the legendary advancement of the monk.

They are the guardians of the mountains, the seekers of the sky, and the defenders of the realm of immortality.

The signature ability of Cloud Climbing Monk is "Mountain Immortality".

Once completed.

Their appearance will not age, and their physical functions will not decline.

They will break the limit of lifespan and be able to explore the deeper mysteries of heaven and earth.

But as far as Matthew knows.

There are still many shortcomings in the profession of Panyun Monk.

For example, their immortality is not true immortality, but only a certain degree of immortality. Once they are hurt by others, or injected with negative energy, necrotic energy, etc., it may lead to the collapse of the circulation in the body, and then lose the ability to live forever.

also.

The actual combat ability of this legendary advancement is weak, and it is inconvenient to leave the mountainous terrain or sky environment. Once they leave, their already weak combat ability will be greatly reduced...

In comparison.

The training and advancement of Panyun Monk are very demanding.

Therefore, no matter how crazy people are about immortality, they rarely consider the legendary advancement of monks——

They would rather consider turning themselves into corpse witches!

Just for a moment.

All the above thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

He just wanted to say hello to the other party.

The old man smiled at him, showed a hint of apology, and then made a gesture of begging to be silent.

Matthew looked up again.

Immediately afterwards.

He then noticed that three hundred meters above his head, on the top of this solitary peak, there were two tiny figures waiting for help.

The two of them were also dressed as monks.

Different from the old man.

Their eyes were covered with thick black cloth, their noses were clamped with wooden clamps, and their ears seemed to be sealed.

The old man made a few gentle gestures.

Matthew reacted——

This is the old monk who is climbing the clouds, taking the two young monks for some kind of trial!

It seemed like it was a critical moment.

One of the monks seemed to have not even mastered the Hunyuan Body. He was leaning on a huge rock and shivering violently.

Upon seeing this, Matthew immediately stepped aside and motioned for you to continue.

The old man nodded gratefully.

Subsequently.

He once again used the skill of walking in the clouds and came to the side of the two young monks.

Not long after that.

The old man led the shivering monk among them to the edge of the cliff.

The former set up a straight rope on the edge of the cliff.

The other end of the rope was held in his hand.

Below it is the fierce sky wind and bottomless clouds.

The monk left one foot of the rock and stepped on the rope. In an instant, the rope began to sway slightly.

The young monk had no choice but to adjust his physical condition, strive to maintain balance, and try to continue moving forward.

It's just that the rope is more than ten meters long.

The end that was attached to the rock was fairly secure, but the side that was held by the old man's hand trembled slightly from time to time.

Coupled with the howling night wind and the young monk's five senses being blocked, it was indeed not easy to successfully reach the other side.

"Are you practicing telepathy?"

Matthew tried to combine what he saw and heard with the rumors he had learned about the monks before.

But at this time.

The young monk took one step forward and missed the point. Then he completely lost his balance and fell down instantly!

"ah……!"

The young monk screamed.

Monk Panyun shook his head, and then slowly grasped the rope in his hand.

After a few seconds.

The monk fell into the clouds.

Another ten seconds passed.

A huge crane suddenly broke through the clouds——

The young monk was lying tightly on the crane's back.

At this time, the restrictions on his eyepatch and mouth and nose have been lifted.

He had a look of shock and shame on his face.

"Teacher, I..."

The young monk's words were blown away by the wind.

Panyun Monk just waved from a distance, and the crane immediately sank, taking the young monk with him and disappearing from their sight.

Then came another young monk.

"Huh? Why does the back of this monk look familiar?"

Without waiting, Matthew leaned over to take a closer look.

The monk whose five senses were blocked has already stepped out.

He stepped on the rope two or three steps in succession, his steps were fast and his center of gravity was extremely stable.

See it.

Monk Panyun smiled slightly, and then he let go of the rope.

Hoo ho ho.

Under the blowing of the sky wind.

Rope free fall.

However, the monk was unconscious.

He is still moving forward.

Every step he takes is stepping on the void!

As a result, a magical scene happened.

It was clear that he had no support under his feet, but he continued to move forward step by step!

that's all.

He walked out so far in one breath that he had already exceeded the inherent distance of the rope.

at some point.

The monk seemed to suddenly realize something, and then shouted in the air:

"Master Baiyun, have I mastered it?"

Bai Yun just smiled and then waved his hand.

A pair of big hands directly tore off all the forbidden things on the monk——

The monk suddenly saw that he was standing in the void, with an expression of ecstasy on his face.

But after a few seconds.

There was an extremely subtle change in the center of gravity of his body.

As if the force of gravity took effect on him again, he fell directly to the ground in a free fall!

The falling posture of this monk was no different from that of the previous trialer.

The difference is.

After the guy fell into the clouds, it took more than two minutes before there was any movement from the clouds again.

Matthew took a closer look.

But I saw him running like lightning above the clouds!

Although his movements and posture are far less elegant than Master Baiyun's.

But he has obviously mastered the unique skill of "walking in the clouds"!

"I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it."

Master Baiyun’s voice sounded behind Matthew:

"My own disciples have been asking for special skills such as walking in the clouds and walking on the snow without leaving a trace, but they were easily learned by a monk from another sect."

"It can be seen that everything is destined, and chance cannot be determined."

Matthew looked at the bald head running wildly among the clouds, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face:

"I didn't expect to meet an old friend here, Master."

"By the way, isn't Li Weiqi a disciple of the Shenlong Sect?"

"Why did he switch to your service?"

Master Baiyun shook his head:

"Venerable Li just encountered some obstacles on the road of pursuing the legend, so he came to chat with me and seek some comfort."

"As for the abilities and skills of Panyun Monk's lineage, it is not a particularly precious secret in the first place. We are all monks. If he wants to learn, of course I can teach him. As for whether he can learn it, it all depends on fate."

While talking.

Master Baiyun led Matthew to a man-made cave on the mountain peak.

Matthew originally wanted to meet Li Weiqi first and use his help to get close to the Cloud-climbing Monk. Unexpectedly, Master Baiyun came up and asked:

"You are here for "Liuyun Will", right? "

Matthew nodded.

Bai Yun directly took out a black bead from his arms and handed it to Matthew, and said calmly:

"This is Liuyun's will."

As soon as Matthew felt it, he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face——

This is indeed one of the node tokens needed to build the immortal realm!

The acquisition of Liuyun Will represents the recognition of the field of immortality.

This would go a long way in stabilizing the newly defined realm of immortality in a big way!

"Give it to me directly?"

"Don't you need any trials or assessments?"

Matthew couldn't help but ask.

Bai Yun smiled and said:

"unnecessary."

"If you have to ask for reasons, there are three main reasons."

"First of all, your Excellency has a great reputation. The name of Star Controller and Destroyer shocks the star world. I am just a weak monk and cannot be the opponent of such a powerful Necromancer like you."

"In this current situation, I don't want my disciples and I to encounter unexpected disasters. Rather than being coy, it would be better to directly offer Liu Yun's will with both hands."

"Second, you are a friend of Li Weiqi. The monks of the Shenlong Sect have always had a good relationship with us. It is reasonable for us to form a good relationship."

Matthew squinted:

"So the real reason is number three?"

Baiyun laughed and said:

"The first two reasons are also very real and objective."

"On the contrary, the third reason is more subjective."

"As far as the field is concerned, my personal understanding is——"

"You don't have to pass the test to become the master of the domain; but the master of the domain will definitely pass all the trials."

"Your Excellency, I already have the conditions to become the master of the Immortality Domain. If so, why bother?"

Matthew nodded with satisfaction after listening.

This lineage of cloud-climbing monks may seem to be living in seclusion among the mountains, but they are so sophisticated in their ways of dealing with people that no one can find fault with them.

"I owe you a small favor."

"If something happens, you can come to me in the Great Tomb of Rolling Stone Kingdom."

Having said this.

Matthew put away "Flowing Cloud Will".

Chatted with Baiyun for a while.

Matthew then met Li Weiqi, who had just learned to walk in the clouds.

The latter was naturally quite surprised to find Matthew arriving.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Under Master Baiyun's hint, Matthew skipped the link of Liuyun's will and pretended that he and Baiyun had already had a relationship and that he was here as a guest today.

After a few minutes.

Baiyun said goodbye and left knowingly.

Matthew chatted with Li Weiqi about Panlong.

"Don't mention it. I went all the way north and chased it for a long time, but finally found out that the so-called clue appeared three hundred years ago!"

Li Weiqi recalled with a wry smile:

"Three hundred years!"

"If it was in the wilderness, there might still be a scaly claw left of the dragon, but that's a city with tens of thousands of people active!"

"In short, I have achieved nothing in these two years."

"After returning from the Northland, I could feel that my body functions were beginning to decline, so I went to Master Baiyun to practice some health-preserving techniques. Unexpectedly, I accidentally learned to walk in the clouds!"

"It's a pity that I am a disciple of Shenlong Sect, and it's too late to switch to Yun Sect now..."

Li Weiqi is a warrior monk of the Shenlong Sect.

He has stood at the top of the fifth level for many years.

If you want to advance to the legendary level, you must find the traces left by the legendary Panlong, and then gain powerful power by imitating the charm of the Panlong.

It's a pity that creatures like the dragon have become extinct in Irondor.

This resulted in Li Weiqi's path to advancement being very bumpy.

After hearing this, Matthew quickly recounted the clues he had learned about the dragon in the far west.

Unexpectedly, Li Weiqi didn't show excitement after hearing this, but instead showed a very strange expression.

Matthew asked:

"What's wrong?"

Li Weiqi smiled bitterly:

"Thank you for the information."

"It's just that I'm a little confused and tired now."

"In the past years, in order to become a legend and to chase the traces of Panlong, I missed too many things, but in the end I gained nothing."

"Of course I don't regret my choice. People are always responsible for their own choices. I'm just... hesitant about the rest of my life."

"As you said, the information you got about Panlong is also very limited, and whether it is true or not is also greatly discounted."

"In the past, I would have gone without any hesitation..."

"But now, I suddenly feel that it would be good to live in seclusion among the mountains like a disciple of Panyun Sect and not pursue too much power..."

Matthew looked at Li Weiqi thoughtfully.

I don’t know when it started.

This monk, who always looked very young, actually had a lot of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

His skin was no longer rosy.

Like a piece of bark starting to wrinkle.

"Have you been sucked out of your life?"

Matthew noticed something unusual.

Li Weiqi shook his head:

"It's not something that was sucked in by others, but something that I volunteered on my own initiative."

"When I was following Panlong's footsteps in the North, something happened. In order to save some people, I had to bear some losses."

"Oh, it's nothing to me, you don't have to worry about me."

Matthew's face was still solemn.

Although Li Weiqi said it in an understatement, since it involves the sacrifice of life span, he may have encountered some difficult opponent.

But the other party didn't want to say it.

Matthew didn't ask any more questions.

He realized that the reason why Li Weiqi lost his fanatical pursuit of Panlong's traces was probably related to the sharp decline in physical function and the impending end of his life——

Li Weiqi is the same generation as Rhaegar.

After a long life of being smoked.

His current physical condition is indeed very bad, and it looks like he can only last for a year and a half at most.

No wonder he came to seek help from Panyun Monk!

Matthew pondered for a moment.

Then he silently began to chant a spell.

Not long after.

In Li Weiqi's surprised eyes.

A rusty iron kettle fell from the sheen of a legendary spell.

Matthew grabbed the iron kettle, opened the spout, and handed it to Li Weiqi:

"This should help you get through it for now."

"Legendary Spell: Pot of Miracles"!

Can be opened once a year.

This time.

Matthew chose the first of the three effects, which was to increase his life span by ten years at once!

Li Weiqi sniffed the liquid in the iron pot, and the surprise in his eyes became more obvious.

Deep excitement and desire flashed in his eyes.

But he hesitated for two seconds.

He actually pushed the iron pot over, and then said with a bitter look on his face:

"no."

"No reward for no merit, I can't take something as precious as yours."

"And my situation..."

Matthew interrupted him with a smile:

"It's just a piece of cake to me."

"But speaking of no reward for no merit, I do need your help with something."

Li Weiqi's eyes lit up:

"What's up?"

Matthew opened the sound barrier and briefly described what happened to Rhaegar and the planet Stuluk.

Although this story was told in a short story, Li Weiqi was stunned when he heard it:

"What?"

"Rega is dead? Oh, his soul was taken away by the Lord of Desire——"

"Isn't that also dead?"

"What?"

"You conquered a planet?"

"Oh, temporary occupation?"

"Isn't that also a fight?"

"What?"

"..."

A long while.

The Shenlong Sect leader drank all the liquid in the Miracle Pot and sighed while drinking:

"I thought my experiences in the North were exaggerated."

"But it seems unremarkable compared to what you have experienced."

"Matthew, actually I know that you asked me to participate just to give me a reason to drink this pot of water. I will remember this favor."

"But it is definitely my duty to save Rhaegar. I can also find a few monk friends from other schools to help."

"You have found the right person when you come to me - to fight a coquettish bitch like the Demon Queen, we monks have to take action!"

The words haven't been spoken yet.

A surge of life energy surged out of Li Weiqi's body.

The latter was stunned for a moment.

Immediately sit cross-legged and gather the natural power in your body.

Matthew watched quietly from the sidelines.

It didn't take long.

The wrinkles at the corners of Li Weiqi's eyes slowly disappeared.

"Sure enough, successful monks usually only start to show their age when their end is approaching."

"What kind of monster Li Weiqi encountered, it sucked life away too hard!"

Matthew thought to himself.

"But this guy is also unlucky. He chose an unpopular track. If Panlong really becomes extinct and leaves no trace, wouldn't he have no hope of becoming a legend in this life?"

Just think of this.

Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he quietly activated the ability of the legendary mentor!

…

"Hint: Insight successful!

You have successfully learned about Li Weiqi’s legendary way. The following are the two most suitable directions for his advancement——

1. The Way of the Dragon (there may be a glimmer of hope in the far west/very low success rate)

2. The Way of Four Symbols (the inheritance of Canglong Dufeng/strongly recommended)"

…

The Way of Four Symbols?

Matthew was slightly startled.

After thinking for a long time, he gradually remembered that he seemed to have a four-image card.

There is also a projection of Canglong Dufeng, who had been clamoring for Matthew to find him the successor of the Four Symbols Sect...

"It is not convenient for Li Weiqi to switch to Panyun Sect because the precepts of Panyun Sect are strict and all kinds of cultivation must start from an early age."

"In comparison, the Four Symbols Sect doesn't have so many rules."

"The Shenlong Sect and the Four Elephants Sect are both sects on the verge of extinction. They should cherish each other. Maybe after Li Weiqi completes his cultivation, he can merge the two sects into one and carry them forward?"

As the saying goes, if a tree is moved, it will die, but if a person is moved, it will live.

When Matthew thought about it, he felt that it was indeed more reliable to let Li Weiqi inherit the Four Symbols Sect than to go to the far west!

then.

After Li Weiqi digested most of the natural energy in the Miracle Pot.

Matthew directly handed the four-elephant card into his hand:

"This was originally a rare item from the Earth Society. Then it fell into my hands by chance. However, it is of no use to me. Maybe it can be used to change your thinking."

"Although the Four Symbols Sect is weak, the Panyun Sect is actually not good at fighting either."

"I think that for the monks of Irondor, they no longer have the qualifications to continue to adhere to the differences between schools. The best strategy is to survive."

"Of course, the final choice is yours."

Li Weiqi understood Matthew's hint.

He solemnly accepted the Four Elephants card and promised:

"I will seriously consider it."

Matthew looked away from the data column with satisfaction——

The legendary mentor is really a good ability!

At present, he has enlightened three people, namely Melinda, Eli and Li Weiqi.

As long as one of them can successfully advance to legend.

Matthew will benefit from this.

In the current situation, although the world is in chaos, it has become easier for many people to practice the legendary way.

Matthew speculates that in the near future.

The number of legends in Irondor will grow exponentially!

"I can definitely seize the opportunity to enlighten a few more people before this window period!"

Matthew thought.

Matthew then pulled Li Weiqi into the Magic Guild for follow-up contact matters.

After that, Matthew, who had obtained the Will of Flowing Clouds as he wished, returned directly to the Kingdom of Thousand Lakes.

I just sat on the rooftop of Yunduo Hotel for a while.

A messenger from the underworld brought what Matthew wanted.

It was a handful of ashes contained in a small dark wooden box.

Death's ashes!

"Fan Zijue is still happy..."

A letter was sent with the ashes.

in the letter.

Fan Zijue said that he was unable to go to the material world because of the recent wars between the Ravenloft Demon Realm and surrounding territories.

But when Matthew asked for the ashes of Death, he directly gave them to him with both hands.

Viscount Fan told Matthew.

The so-called ashes of the God of Death are actually a strange object created by the supreme powers of the underworld in the past dynasties who injected their own unique spirituality and traces of branding into a giant urn pool.

The number of the ashes of the God of Death is not small.

But they are firmly in the hands of those in power in the underworld.

It is actually a symbol of power in the underworld!

Fan Zijue even hinted in the letter that the ashes of the God of Death can be used to indirectly canonize the messenger of the underworld!

This shows the energy of this thing.

Matthew weighed the small wooden box——

The number of ashes given by Fan Zijue is more than enough to build an immortal realm.

He must also remember this favor.

"Looking from the side, Fan Zijue is actually implying that his power in the underworld is equivalent to that of a real person in power, right?"

"Strange, how come there are still people in the underworld who dare to resist the demonic realm of Ravenloft?"

Think so.

Matthew placed the Death God's ashes and Liuyun's will together.

So far.

He only needs one token to complete the realm of immortality.

However, the remaining three tokens are not so easy to obtain.

The ruins of heaven are the most dangerous——

After the big tear.

Tianlun Palace fell into the star realm.

The ruins of the heaven left behind are dominated by the turbulence of the void.

No living thing dares to enter easily.

Matthew puts this option right at the end.

The Eternal Death Realm is equally strange and unpredictable.

That was the place where Maibalon, the second son of the God of Death, went into retreat.

Considering that he has an unclear relationship with the God of Death and Maibaron.

Matthew was also a little repelled by this place.

"So for the last token, let's go to the Rootless River to get it!"

"Although that place is mysterious, Linde and Ordesia have actually gone in..."

Matthew composed himself.

He thought about the time. It had been a while since the incident in Canning, the City of Order. Ordesia, the mother of the black dragon, should have taken care of the magical kingdom of the Sword of Thorns, right?

Just think of this.

Matthew sent a message to Ordesia.

After that, I took out a few brand new magic books and prepared to pass the time.

More than an hour later.

Matthew didn't wait for the Black Dragon Mother's reply.

But the shadow cast by a giant tree planted next to the rooftop suddenly "came alive".

The shadow man swaggered up to Matthew.

Matthew couldn't see his face clearly.

But he can sense the strong aura on the other party.

"demon?"

he asked.

"Night."

The shadow man replied in a low voice.

…
