The Black Demon Mountains stretch for thousands of miles from the northwest to the southeast, standing like a barrier on the northeast coast of the Qinglong Realm.
The place is filled with demonic energy, it is desolate and cold, the earth is pitch black with no grass growing, there is no day, only endless night.
Black Demon Mountain is the eighth of the Ten Great Dragons, and is the area where the Black Dragon Clan lives. In addition to the Black Dragon Clan, there are also several other groups of dragons, such as the Nether Corpse Dragon, Bone Dragon, Blood Dragon, Poison Dragon, and some strange and ferocious beasts with a small amount of dragon blood.
After Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi left Zhongyuan City, they hid their tracks and circled around the city for a few times. After making sure that no one was following them, they rushed to Dragon Bone Gorge northwest of Black Demon Mountain.
Dragon Bone Gorge is formed by a giant dragon rib, which opens up a canyon between two mountains, through which you can pass into the depths of Black Demon Mountain.
At this time, two ferocious beasts with jackal bodies and dragon heads were fighting at the entrance of Dragon Bone Gorge. The demonic energy was surging, stirring up smoke and dust all over the sky, with a huge momentum.
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi hid on a platform on the side of the mountain, using the formation to protect themselves, and were able to see the entire entrance to Dragon Bone Gorge.
"Those two look very much like the Ya Zi mentioned in the book. The second son of the dragon, he is cruel and aggressive by nature, and he holds grudges very much. Once he is angered, he will fight to the death. There is an old saying that goes, if a life-threatening person meets a life-threatening person, he will never win. The Ya Zi is the kind of ferocious beast that doesn't care about its life and just wants to vent its anger."
Jiang Yuebai whispered to Lu Nanzhi that there was still half a day until the agreed time, so they should hide here first and go down later.
At this time, a beam of light came rushing towards them from the direction of Zhongyuan City with great momentum. Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi were on full alert and tried to reduce their presence.
When they got there, they saw a monk in black robes, with demonic energy billowing like smoke on his body. He landed at the entrance of Dragon Bone Gorge and raised his hand. Black smoke rushed out from his sleeves and engulfed the two Jiaozi.
The shrill screams coming out from the black smoke made people's scalps numb.
But in just three or five breaths, the black smoke dissipated, leaving only white bones on the ground.
The black-robed monk turned into billowing black smoke again, rushed into Dragon Bone Gorge and disappeared.
"He looks like a demon cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage. Could he also be going... Hmm!"
Before Lu Nanzhi could finish his words, Jiang Yuebai pressed the back of his head and covered his mouth tightly, making him unable to make a sound.
Jiang Yuebai opened his watery eyes and said seriously, "No matter what you are thinking, don't say it. Don't say a word."
Lu Nanzhi suddenly remembered the last time he encountered a powerful warrior in Poyunchong. A faint smile appeared in his eyes and he nodded.
Jiang Yuebai then let go, secretly looked up at the sky, clasped his hands together and muttered, "Lord Tiandao, we are just here for a stroll, you don't need to pay special attention, just treat it as normal, just be normal."
Lu Nanzhi laughed and changed the subject, "The last time I went to Zhongyuan City, I heard that Black Demon Mountain was formerly called Zhangwei Mountain, and it is one of the oldest mountains in the Azure Dragon Realm. Some people also said that when the Azure Dragon Realm was first created by the chaos, it was not called the Azure Dragon Realm, but the Candle Dragon Realm."
"It was not until the end of the ancient times and the beginning of the ancient times that the Azure Dragon was born and the major star alliances were established. This world became the first of the forty-eight realms in the East and was named the Azure Dragon Realm."
Jiang Yuebai pondered, "From what I heard, could it be that Qinglong Realm was once the territory of Zhulong?"
Lu Nanzhi said, "The old ghosts in Zhongyuan City all said that the reason why there is no daytime in Black Demon Mountain is because Zhulong is sleeping here and will never open his eyes again."
Jiang Yuebai recalled the introduction of Zhulong in the books in the Dragon Palace. It was day when its eyes were open and night when its eyes were closed. Its status was second only to Zulong and higher than Yinglong.
"If there really was a Candle Dragon, the Great Immortal Lords of the Azure Dragon Realm would have captured it long ago. I guess they would have captured all the dragons and beasts with Candle Dragon bloodline, not a single one would be spared."
Lu Nanzhi nodded in agreement. Dragons were a symbol of status in this world. The black dragon of Black Demon Mountain was ranked eighth among the ten great dragons, and only a few were left after being hunted down. How much more so was the Candle Dragon
The two stopped talking. Lu Nanzhi took out the "Blood River Sword Canon" she had just bought to look at it, and Jiang Yuebai also took out the low-level magic skill that the man had given her before.
The name of the technique is "Chaos Devouring Heaven Technique", which is very similar to the "Devouring Heaven Technique" she got in the North Sea of the Earth Spirit Realm. Both are magical techniques, and the general contents are also very similar.
After Jiang Yuebai read all of them, he felt that "Heaven-Swallowing Art" was a pirated version, and that "Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Art" was the authentic version.
They all follow the route of devouring the world. The way that "Swallowing Heaven" deals with alien aura is to expel it from the body through "vortex", but it is easy to fail to expel it completely and poison oneself.
The "Chaos Devouring Heaven Art" is like a demon, forcibly merging and absorbing. Its purpose is to let these auras return to chaos, but it needs a trace of chaos energy as an initiator to do so.
Although there is a chaotic land in the earth spirit world, there is no chaotic energy. This thing can probably only exist between heaven and earth when chaos first began.
There is a second-best method behind this technique, which is to transform these auras into Taiyin demonic energy.
"Taiyin Demonic Energy? What does this have to do with the Taiyin Wind in the Taiyin Fan?"
Jiang Yuebai was puzzled. A lot of questions had accumulated recently. She knew she had to learn and comprehend them on her own, but she still wanted to find someone knowledgeable to ask for advice to save some time.
The technique mentioned that the Taiyin Demonic Energy was more violent and powerful than ordinary demonic energy, and was extremely cold and yin. Without a strong physique, it would be impossible to control and retain the Taiyin Demonic Energy. Therefore, the practice of this technique must be combined with a higher-level body-building magic technique.
Although magic skills are powerful, they also have drawbacks. To put it simply, most of the drawbacks are that after practicing, you will have a bad temper. If you don't vent your temper at any time, and keep it in your heart, something bad will happen.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai understood why those evil cultivators always killed people at will. This was because compared to normal cultivators who were easy-going, calm and patient, the evil cultivators were irritable from the inside out, with every pore and every breath they took.
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but glance at Lu Nanzhi. She seemed to be okay, except that she would get more and more excited during fights. She was usually as calm and composed as water.
Jiang Yuebai put away the "Chaos Devouring Heaven Technique" and thought with his chin in his hand.
This technique can plunder the heaven and earth, and even plunder other people and monsters. It focuses on fusion. So can she fuse her own demonic energy and spiritual energy
Or use the method in it to integrate the five elements magic? She was worried about this recently.
She doesn't have to practice magic, but she can learn from the methods in it.
I’ll try it when I get back this time!
Half a day later, a masked and cloaked man appeared at the entrance of Longgu Gorge. He was the person who had made an appointment with Jiang Yuebai.
She was wrapped so tightly that Jiang Yuebai couldn't tell whether she was a man or a woman, but he had a hunch that she was a woman.
Especially after reading "Chaos Swallowing Heaven Kung Fu", it was mentioned in the book that if one practices this skill to the end, it will wipe out one's own masculine energy and make one become extremely yin and evil, which means it is possible to turn a man into a woman.
Jiang Yuebai was not in a hurry and waited for another hour to see if the man had an ambush or hidden helpers.
In the end, she found out that she was alone all the time and there was nothing unusual about her, so Lu Nanzhi hid in the dark while she went down to meet that person.
"Where is your friend?" the man asked directly.
Jiang Yuebai also wore a black mask, with a crescent moon pendant underneath to create an illusion. "She's nearby, you don't have to pay attention to her. By the way, you have to tell me your name, otherwise I don't know how to address you."
Jiang Yuebai and the other party did not know each other's name, gender, appearance or even cultivation at this time. Both of them were good at hiding themselves.
"Xingchou."
"Sunken boat."
After exchanging signals, Xingchou led the way through Dragon Bone Gorge and into the depths of Black Demon Mountain.
On the way, we encountered many ferocious beasts and monsters with dragon characteristics, but we didn't see a single dragon.
Seeing Jiang Yuebai looking around, Xingchou said, "You'd better pray that we don't run into a dragon. The dragons in Black Demon Mountain are all above the Nascent Soul stage, and they often attack cultivators in groups. If you really run into one, you'll be lucky to escape."
Jiang Yuebai discovered that Xingchou was very familiar with the terrain of Black Demon Mountain. She was able to avoid the places where ferocious beasts appeared every time. Even if she was unlucky enough to encounter a ferocious beast blocking her way, she could find the nearest way to go around it.
Avoid fighting, and avoid revealing her own abilities too early.
After walking around for almost a day, Xingchou and Jiang Yuebai arrived at the foot of a rocky mountain.
The entire mountain seemed to be split in half by a giant axe, and the hideous tree-like cracks extended all the way, turning the earth into a rift valley.
"The ruins are behind this mountain. They have been plundered and nothing is left. The place I mentioned requires going down through the rift valley. The demonic energy is very dense down there, and there are poisonous dragons and bone dragons. Are you ready?"
Xing Chou looked at Jiang Yuebai, and Jiang Yuebai knew that she was testing whether he was a Taoist practitioner or a demon practitioner.
Taoist practitioners are afraid of evil spirits, but evil practitioners are not.
Jiang Yuebai said in a nonchalant tone, "Lead the way."
Xing Chou nodded, jumped directly from the three-meter-wide crack in front of him, and disappeared in the thick evil spirit in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yuebai increased his protective energy to the fifth level and jumped down as well.
See you tomorrow!
