Yanyu obtained the Demon Gathering Array of Huangsha City very smoothly, but that doesn't mean she would willingly give it up to others.
"Friend Xu, if you don't become a demon king, you won't be able to enter the Spirit Demon Island. I advise you not to try to get anything from me."
"Spiritual Demon Island will not be officially opened for more than 200 years. There is no need to rush."
Xu Chunniang seemed not to hear the impatience in Yanyu's words, and looked determined to rely on Yanyu.
"Fellow Daoist Yan once swore to help me, so the oath should still count. Could it be that after more than a hundred years, Fellow Daoist Yan no longer intends to fulfill his promise?"
Yanyu was very tired and once again regretted his recklessness back then.
"Of course not."
"Since it's not the case, I hope Brother Daoist Yan can agree to my small request. Don't worry, I can't use too much of your magic energy."
Yanyu took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and then slowly released them.
Forget it, her senior brother is already dead, and there is no point for her to keep this demon gathering formation.
Sooner or later, she would get back what Xu Chunniang had taken from her, along with the principal and interest.
Yan Yu raised her hand and pointed to a side hall, "I have hidden a magic gathering array there, you can go there."
"Fellow Daoist Yan is indeed straightforward. I would like to thank you in advance."
Xu Chunniang showed a genuine smile on her face. After clasping her fists and bowing, she turned and left the palace.
When she showed up, the Scorpion Woman who was waiting outside the palace came up to greet her.
"Well, did your ally agree to your request?"
"Since we are allies, how can we not agree?"
Xu Chunniang smiled and took the Scorpion Woman to the side hall that Yanyu had allocated for her.
As soon as she stepped into the side hall, the Scorpion Woman took a deep breath of demonic energy, and excitement appeared in her eyes.
"The demonic energy here is so dense, more than ten times stronger than the original place!"
"Whatever you think is appropriate."
Xu Chunniang casually glanced around and started to set up a new formation.
She chose Dark Night City on purpose, not really for the Demon Gathering Array.
Mainly because of the presence of Yanyu, Dark Night City is safe enough. It is not like other royal cities in the Demon Realm, where ownership may change easily due to battles.
She has only dealt with three rounds of tribulations so far, and there are still four rounds of tribulations to deal with, which will take nearly two hundred years.
In the past two hundred years, a lot of things have happened in the Demon Realm, such as the Yellow Sand City, which disappeared inexplicably when she was in seclusion.
She didn't want to just choose a random place to retreat to, only to find it in ruins when she woke up next time.
It’s too troublesome to switch back and forth, it’s better to just choose Dark Night City.
As long as the swallowfish is there, Dark Night City is safe.
Facts have proved that Xu Chunniang's choice was correct.
Yanyu has been in Dark Night City for many years and has run this place like an iron barrel, airtight.
Even when the two nearby demon kings joined forces to attack Dark Night City, they returned empty-handed.
Since then, Dark Night City has become famous and feared by many demon kings.
No matter how big the events were in the city, Xu Chunniang and Scorpion Woman always stayed in the side hall and never showed up since the day they entered.
Time flies, and two hundred years are just a blink of an eye.
During these two hundred years, the situation in Moyun Continent has not changed much, and the three Demon Emperors still stand in a three-way balance of power.
However, the demon kings under the Demon Emperor have changed their faces a lot, and the major royal cities have also been renamed several times.
Only a very small number of powerful demon kings are still defending their own royal cities.
Dark Night City is one of them.
One day two hundred years later, Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and gave up meditation.
In fact, ten years ago, she had already survived the last tribulation in the seventh round of tribulations, transformed all the evil energy in her body into vital energy, and successfully achieved the perfect state of tribulation survival.
The souls of the original body and the demon body were also completely merged into one, but the personalities and memories of both were retained.
After completing the tribulation period, she felt the approaching tribulation thunder. In order to prevent any accidents, she deliberately left Moyun Continent and went to the nearby Luoyan Continent to transcend the tribulation.
Luoyan Continent is much larger than Moyun Continent, and has many wild areas, which is perfect for overcoming tribulations.
After surviving the nine-nine thunder tribulations in Luoyan Continent and entering the Mahayana stage, Xu Chunniang tore through the void and quietly returned to Dark Night Continent from the void, continuing to retreat and consolidate her cultivation.
It was not until today that I have completely consolidated my cultivation.
Mahayana period…
Xu Chunniang raised her hand, feeling the endless vitality and strength in her body.
With just one finger, you can easily flatten a mountain or destroy a city.
To go through forty-nine calamities and attain perfection is called Mahayana.
However, after her cultivation level stabilized, Xu Chunniang soon realized the difficulties faced by the Mahayana stage.
His cultivation seemed to have reached its peak, and no matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't make any further progress.
As soon as he thought about it, all the evil energy between heaven and earth was drawn in, transformed into vital energy, and rushed into Xu Chunniang's body one after another.
All the vital energy in the world can be used by her, but she cannot possess it.
She waved her hand, transformed the summoned vital energy back into demonic energy, and made it return along the original path. A thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
When she was in the Heavenly God Academy, Xu Chunniang had indeed read in some classics that once one entered the Mahayana stage, one's cultivation would no longer increase.
Because Mahayana is perfect and flawless, it naturally neither increases nor decreases.
If a Mahayana cultivator wants to improve his cultivation, there is only one way, and that is to rely on the power of incense and faith.
Just like those Mahayana monks of the human race, they deliberately provoked conflicts between the human race and other races, and then quelled the war in their own names, in order to win the faith and worship of the human monks.
Although the three Demon Emperors of Moyun Continent have different methods of ruling, their intentions are the same.
In addition to hunting down monks who are undergoing tribulation, the Demon King mainly relies on the faith and willpower of hundreds of millions of demons.
Whether it is faith or incense, collecting them is not a matter of a day or a night.
Right now the three Demon Kings of Moyun Continent are dividing and ruling the country. Once Xu Chunniang jumps out and proposes to share the power of incense with them, she will definitely be counterattacked and hunted down by them.
And in more than 20 years, the Spirit Demon Island will be open to the public.
She won't be able to stay in the demon world for long, so there's no need to make too much noise at this critical juncture.
After suppressing her cultivation level at the fusion stage, Xu Chunniang withdrew the formation and looked at the Scorpion Woman.
After two hundred years of hard training, the Scorpion Woman finally advanced from the middle stage of fusion to the late stage of fusion.
When she saw the Scorpion Woman, Xu Chunniang suddenly remembered the Phoenix-Feather Crow, which she had forgotten to release since she threw it into the mustard seed space.
According to the plan, Huangyu Ya would enter the Spirit Demon Island with her as the Scorpion Woman's female attendant.
Thinking of this, Xu Chunniang glanced at the mustard seed space where the Phoenix-Feathered Crow was imprisoned, but found that a hole had been broken in the mustard seed space at some point, and the Phoenix-Feathered Crow had disappeared.
I think it was during one of her tribulations that the impatient Phoenix Crow finally lost his patience and simply ran away.
Relying on the imprint that had once been left in the soul of the Phoenix Crow, Xu Chunniang sensed it carefully.
There is no trace of it in the entire Demon Cloud Continent.
