Although the competition among the disciples of the Demon Abyss to raise Gu is extremely cruel, it is by no means without restrictions, otherwise the geniuses of the forbidden area will be exhausted in the infighting.
In the end, the Holy Son's lineage completely declined. The former Holy Maiden dared not be angry or speak out, and the new Holy Maiden thus secured her position.
But the strange thing is that after the Saint took the position firmly, the first thing she did was not to build up her own power in the temple, but to eagerly challenge the geniuses in the various forbidden areas of the Demon Abyss.
The temple's top leaders thought that the Saint was aggressive by nature, but after several investigations, they felt that she was more like looking for someone.
Even after defeating all the enemies in the Demonic Abyss, he still proposed to challenge the sects in the Immortal Realm.
The Holy Lord ignored this and all the clan leaders agreed to the request after discussion.
Thus, the journey to the fairyland on the Blood Bone Boat came about.
However, the vein leaders had no idea who the Saint was looking for, and when they asked the Saint Lord, he told them to just let her go, without any useful information at all.
"It would be best if we have it in our hands..." The Blood Lord narrowed his eyes slightly.
The origin of the saint is too mysterious and her position is too high, so there must be means to check and balance her to prevent her from turning against us at a critical moment.
Who knows if she is a spy sent out by some force...
Therefore, it would be a good idea to find the person she is looking for earlier than the saint and then keep him in the hands of the temple.
Just as the Blood Lord was still thinking, suddenly a little purple flame ignited on his half-dried body.
"Um?"
The Blood Lord's pupils shrank slightly and he stood up immediately.
The purple fireworks swayed and floated up, finally floating at a height of about one person.
In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart and fell into some unknown illusion.
The Blood Lord was not at all panicked. He leaned down slightly, hunched over, and said respectfully,
"Greetings to the Holy Lord."
Although the Blood Lord appeared quite calm on the surface at this moment, there were huge waves in his heart.
Why would the Holy Lord inform him in this way at this time
Disciples who enter the Yinling Temple will receive a trace of the Holy Lord's Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame, which can help them in their cultivation. After death, they will also become nutrients for the Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame and give back to the Holy Lord.
However, after reaching a certain level, the Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame will be taken back by the Holy Lord.
The Blood Lord is an exception. Although his realm is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he suffered hidden injuries in the battle between immortals and demons many years ago, and he still cannot fully control the law of withering and flourishing.
If it weren't for the help of the Holy Lord's bone-eating devil flame, he would probably have died long ago.
But now, the Holy Lord suddenly awakened the bone-eating devil flame in the Blood Lord and deliberately set up such a barrier...
Is there something important to say
"Xuezi," an unidentifiable voice came from within the bone-eating devil flames, soft and wooden, "Are you heading to the Juexiao Sect?"
"Yes, Holy Lord." The Blood Lord replied respectfully, "But he is on his way back."
There was silence in the bone-eating devil flames for a while, and then the Holy Lord's voice sounded again.
"Just now, a disciple from the Juexiao Sect used the Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame."
"What!"
The Blood Lord couldn't help but exclaim.
The price of directly triggering the bone-eating devil flame is extremely heavy, and the pain is so intense that even the disciples of the Demon Abyss who have experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood are terrified by it.
Unless...
A hidden chess piece that has been cultivated.
At this moment, the Blood Lord remembered that before the competition with the Juexiao Sect began, the other party's law enforcement elder seemed to have mentioned this matter.
The assassin from the lineage of the Temple's Evil Lord tried to assassinate a disciple of the Juexiao Sect but failed and was killed instead.
However, he did not mention the bone-eroding demonic flame.
However, the disciple who killed the evil master's hidden son seemed to have barely entered the middle stage of the innate realm. How could such a level of cultivation withstand the power of the bone-eating devil flames...
"A Divine Incarnation cultivator came out to protect the other party," the Holy Lord continued, "and this Divine Incarnation cultivator... I don't know him."
This time the Blood Master was really scared.
A Divine Transformation cultivator whom even the Holy Lord doesn’t recognize
How is this possible!
All the cultivators who achieve the state of Divine Transformation have gone through a long time. One or two are born every ten thousand years, and they are all famous people.
If it is the Jindan or even Yuanying stage, there may be unknown hermits.
Above the Spiritual Transformation stage, one controls the power of rules. It is impossible for there to be no movement at all when one is promoted, and hiding is out of the question.
Unless it is... a Divine Transformation cultivator who is older than the Holy Lord, he may even reach the realm of ascension in the legend - Immortality.
This is horrible.
"There is a barrier in the fairyland that blocks my perception, so it is not very clear. However, the aura is somewhat similar to A-Yao's." The Holy Lord said lightly, "But I can't be sure."
"Saintess?" The Blood Lord's face darkened. "Saintess, are you saying that the person who was helped by the unknown god-transforming ancestor might be the one the Saintess is looking for?"
"Um."
After receiving the affirmative answer from the Holy Lord, the Blood Lord turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the Holy Maiden's room, somewhat hesitant.
Should I tell the Saint about this matter directly, or secretly bring the white-haired girl back to the Yinling Temple...
However, the white-haired girl is a genius of the Juexiao Sect. If she wants to accomplish this quietly, she will probably have to pay a high price.
There are still a few hidden players from the Blood Lord lineage in Juexiao Sect, but is it worth sacrificing these hidden players to get the white-haired girl
"That's all I have to say. You can make your own arrangements for the rest."
After the Holy Lord finished his last words, the bone-eating devil flames went out immediately, and the fire returned to the half-dried body of the Blood Lord.
The Holy Lord has always been like this, rarely directly participating in the affairs of the Yinling Temple, and basically not caring about the open and secret struggles among the major clan leaders.
He will only show up when it comes to matters that none of the vein masters can decide.
The Blood Lord sat alone for a long time without moving.
"Never mind. This matter should be considered in the long run."
At least I now know who the saint might be looking for, and I am no longer confused. This is enough.
The Blood Lord closed his eyes again.
... ...
Luo Xue was not aware that the Yin Ling Temple had already sensed her presence. At this time, she was packing her luggage with her senior sister.
In fact, it was a bit risky for Zou Junxin to let Luo Xue go to the Demon Abyss as a spy from the Fairyland.
He had to settle the matter completely before the Law Enforcement Hall could react.
In other words, from now on, Luo Xue may receive the order to go to the Demon Abyss at any time.
Therefore, after Zou Junxin left Luohuatian, Bai Zhanying immediately began to prepare things for Luo Xue that might be useful in the future.
"Take these spells and charms first. You can use them with just a little spiritual power. They are very useful."
"Although this soft armor is only a second-level spiritual weapon, it can help you save your life from a full-strength attack from a Jindan cultivator."
"As for weapons, I'll get Zhang Zhengwei's heavy sword for you. Oh, yes, that's the sword you used when you were sparring. Luo Huatian's sword is too light, you probably can't use it."
"These books of magical skills are all obtained during my travels. They have nothing to do with the Juexiao Sect. I will give them to you."
"besides... "
"Big sister," Luo Xue had no choice but to interrupt Bai Zhanying who was frantically stuffing things into her arms, with a look of confusion on her face, "There are too many, some of them can't be taken."
Judging from the look of it, the elder sister is planning to give all her belongings to herself.
Not to mention weapons and secret manuals of magical powers, just speaking of spells and talismans, these disposable consumable magic weapons have always been extremely precious.
Regardless of the preciousness of the materials or the difficulty of making them, a few of them are enough to make the monks of the same level penniless.
After all, this thing does not require much spiritual power to use, and the talismans that the eldest sister took out are almost all at the foundation-building level. It is estimated that five or six of them would be enough to kill the Taoist Zi Yang back then.
There are at least a hundred of them in this stack...
The second-level spiritual weapon soft armor may not sound very good, but the second level corresponds to the foundation building stage, and it is a rare protective magic weapon. If you take it out for auction, you can buy at least a few hundred talismans.
Luo Xue felt a little shocked when she knew the value of these things.
"... The Demon Abyss is dangerous, so I am a little worried." Bai Zhanying looked at Luo Xue with soft eyes, "In the blink of an eye, you have grown up... But I still feel that you are not much different from when you were crying in my arms."
"Ahem"
Luo Xue touched her nose awkwardly.
"Thinking back then..."
Bai Zhanying suddenly felt emotional.
Seeing this, Luo Xue quickly changed the subject.
"Big sister, can you tell me about the Demon Abyss?"
Bai Zhanying's memories were interrupted, and a look of disappointment flashed across his face, but he still calmed himself down and asked,
"Xiaoxue, how much do you know about the Immortal Realm and the Demon Abyss?"
She was listening to Zou Junxin's conversation with Luo Xue in the house.
It’s just that talking about the things between the Fairyland and the Demonic Abyss is too general and I don’t know where to start.
"First, let's talk about what the Demon Abyss is like. Is it a sinister and evil place full of dangers?"
Luo Xue dragged a small stool over and looked at the senior sister without blinking, as if she was listening to gossip.
Bai Zhanying hesitated for a moment and said,
"In fact, the Immortal Realm is like the Demon Abyss, the difference... is not that big."
"Hmm?" Luo Xue was stunned for a moment. "Big Sister, you mean... the Immortal Realm and the Demonic Abyss are actually just different names?"
"Generally speaking, it can be said that," Bai Zhanying nodded, "the nine states of the Immortal Realm and the four realms of the Demon Abyss are essentially the same.
"There are also evil and dangerous places in the Nine Provinces, and there are also blessed places in the Four Regions."
"Then why is it divided into the Immortal Realm and the Demonic Abyss?" Luo Xue asked curiously, "Also, where is the Mortal Realm?"
Bai Zhanying thought for a moment and said,
"Let's talk about the Mortal Realm first. As the name suggests, the Mortal Realm is the world where the mortal kingdom is located... Does it sound very far away from the Immortal Realm and the Demon Abyss? Actually, it is not."
Bai Zhanying raised his hand slightly, and tiny threads of spiritual power outlined a map out of thin air, distinguishing them by colors.
The white fairyland and the red devil's abyss are clearly separated, and it seems that the mortal world does not exist.
Bai Zhanying raised his hand and pointed to the white area and said,
“This is the Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm, and the same is true for the Nine Provinces of the Mortal Realm and the Four Regions of the Demon Abyss.
“Mortal kingdoms are scattered throughout the Immortal Realm and the Demonic Abyss, but they are managed within the sphere of influence of the corresponding sect.
"The place where the Juexiao Sect is located is called Qingzhou. There are five mortal kingdoms in Qingzhou, namely Wei, Zhou, Yan, Nanming, Beiming, and Dawei."
Within the white area, one of the nine blocks, five blocks of different colors emerged, almost occupying the entire area.
There are only a few small areas that are not affected by color.
—The location of several immortal gates.
"So, the Mortal Realm is actually included in the Immortal Realm or the Demonic Abyss, and the area outside the sect's headquarters is called the Mortal Realm?"
Luo Xue nodded thoughtfully, "In this case, the difference between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Abyss is..."
"The area occupied by the Demon Abyss Sect is called the Demon Abyss, that's all." Bai Zhanying said, "Originally, it was the Ten States of the Immortal Realm. In the great war between immortals and demons that ended a thousand years ago, one state was lost and was included in the Four Regions of the Demon Abyss.
"Although Jiuzhou sounds like it's bigger than the four regions, it's actually just because of the different division methods. Now the territory of Demon Abyss is slightly larger than that of Immortal Region."
This can be clearly seen in the map drawn by Bai Zhanying.
In the great battle between immortals and demons that year, Demon Abyss had a slight advantage.
