But soon he dismissed that idea.
The scene before him was completely different from the Tianren Realm he remembered.
He stood up and found himself in a huge canyon.
The cliffs on both sides of the canyon were covered with densely packed mine tunnels.
At the bottom of the canyon, countless figures were busily working.
When Chen Ping clearly saw those figures, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He saw countless human cultivators and beast cultivators, wearing tattered clothes, their bodies covered with crisscrossing scars, and some cultivators even lacked complete limbs.
They held crude chisels and hammers in their hands and were desperately mining the hard rocks.
The sun was blazing hot, the temperature was astonishingly high, but these cultivators had no time to rest at all.
Their faces were filled with exhaustion and despair, sweat mixed with blood flowing down their faces and dripping onto the scorching rocks, evaporating instantly.
“Faster! Move faster!”
A demon cultivator wearing black armour held a whip and lashed it viciously at an elderly human cultivator.
The old man let out a shrill scream and involuntarily fell to the ground.
But he did not dare to stop for a moment, hurriedly struggling to get up and continue mining the spirit stones.
“You old thing, daring to slack off!” The demon cultivator snorted coldly and lashed another whip.
A deep blood mark instantly appeared on the old man’s back, blood soaking through his tattered clothes.
But he did not dare to resist in the slightest and could only silently endure it all.
Not far away, a young beast cultivator slowed down in mining due to exhaustion.
A demon cultivator noticed and immediately rushed over, kicking him to the ground.
“Useless trash! You cannot even mine this much ore, what use are you!”
The demon cultivator said viciously and raised the spiked club in his hand to smash down.
“Do not! Please do not kill him!”
A human woman threw herself onto the beast cultivator, using her body to protect him.
“Hmph, since you want to protect him so much, then you both die together!” The demon cultivator said with a ferocious grin.
Seeing this scene, a nameless fire surged in Chen Ping’s heart.
He had not expected such barbaric and cruel enslavement to exist in this world!
These demon cultivators were simply mad and heartless!
“These beasts!”
A trace of icy killing intent flashed in Chen Ping’s eyes.
At that moment, he noticed a row of huge buildings at the end of the canyon.
These buildings were hundreds of zhang tall, shaped like pill furnaces but much larger than any he had ever seen.
What shocked him even more was that these massive pill furnaces were operating, emitting scorching heat.
Countless spirit stones were continuously transported into the furnaces and, after refining, turned into extremely pure immortal stones!
“What?”
Chen Ping was stunned, “They are actually refining spirit stones into immortal stones?”
He finally understood!
Although this world had only spiritual qi and no immortal qi, the demon cultivators here had mastered the technique of refining spirit stones into immortal stones!
“What exactly is this place?”
Chen Ping’s heart was full of doubts, “How could the void turbulence bring me to such a strange world?”
At that moment, the demon cultivator holding the spiked club had already walked towards the human woman and beast cultivator.
“Die!”
The demon cultivator said with a ferocious grin and raised the spiked club to smash down.
“Stop!”
An icy shout suddenly rang out, echoing like thunder in the canyon.
Everyone stopped their actions and looked towards the source of the voice.
They saw a young man in a white robe who had appeared in the canyon at some unknown time, coldly watching those demon cultivators.
