Monks practice by breathing and integrating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, the aura of the human world is complex and difficult to separate, so ordinary cultivators gather it in the meridians and then cleanse it.
Only after one's cultivation has reached a certain level can one use skills to dispel filth and take in spiritual energy alone.
Although the breath in Zhu Changyang's "oxygen tank" is not spiritual energy, it is very pure and is definitely not an ordinary breath.
Tan Tai Bu Qi took two puffs and felt very curious: "What method did you use to obtain these auras?"
Zhu Changyang did not try to be mysterious, and generously shared his secret method: "Industrial oxygen production method."
Simply put, it is water decomposition. Now the workshop is refining oil and processing various equipment for a long time. Water is a constant resource. It is easy to start the equipment and get a few bottles of oxygen.
Tan Tai Bu Qi: @.@
What a mysterious method. I have never heard of it before.
With the isolation gas masks, the three of them temporarily resisted the acute invasion of the corpse poison. However, the demon corpse also brought magical damage, which could corrode the body and damage the realm over time, so they had to leave this place quickly.
Tan Tai Buqi seized the opportunity and lit a talisman.
As the talisman fire burned, the corpse energy around became stronger and stronger, almost materializing. Through the glass on the masks, the three people could see a layer of fog in the air that even the talisman fire could not burn away.
There was a rustling sound underground, apparently some insects and snakes were startled.
Tan Tai Bu Qi shuddered: "Let's go."
Jun Shu looked at the black tombstones on the ground through the glass lens, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he grabbed Zhu Changyang's arm and leaped forward.
After breaking the spell that blocked their vision, the three of them moved much faster and quickly walked out of the woods. To be on the safe side, they did not fly with swords, but continued on foot.
The scene gradually became more desolate, with only sharp gravel and an increasing number of tombstones to be seen.
Eventually, there were so many tombstones that they were piled together, which meant that there were mountains of demon corpses underground.
The three of them even had to step over the tombstones, causing Zhu Changyang to feel a great deal of psychological pressure. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he felt that it was immoral to dance on someone else's grave. At the same time, he was a little confused: "Why are there so many demon corpses in this place?"
Generally speaking, the lifespan in the world of cultivation is not low. Since the demon cultivators are not ordinary people, it is not so easy for them to die. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be so many corpses.
"I know that!" Tan Tai Buqi answered immediately. He had overcome his fear of the cliff tomb and had the leisure to learn about the history of this place. "I have seen relevant records in the notes of our sect's founder. It is said that the millions of demon corpses in the cliff tomb were left behind by the great war between good and evil thousands of years ago..."
It is said that thousands of years ago, when the righteous and the demonic worlds were fighting fiercely, an extremely powerful demon cultivator suddenly appeared in the Eastern Demon Realm, known as the Demon Lord Dongyao.
This Demon Lord Dong Yao is the ancestor of the current Demon Lord Dong Yaoyan of the Hui Sect.
Demon Lord Dongyao got a water-splitting sword from ancient times from somewhere unknown. He was almost invincible, and he kept defeating the righteous and pushed the momentum of the Demon Realm to the top.
At that time, almost everyone believed that Demon Lord Dongyao would unify the Eastern and Western Demon Realms, allowing the Demon Realms to merge into Suhui again, and become the new Demon Lord.
Not only that, as the power of Demon Lord Dongyao grew, his ambition grew, and he even decided to attack other continents. This move caused a massive backlash from the righteous, and eventually the righteous and evil sides fought a fierce battle on the Kudu River.
Originally, Demon Lord Dongyao had great cultivation and no one could stop him. However, when the battle was in full swing, he suddenly went crazy and drew his sword to kill himself, thus dying.
After the death of Demon Lord Dongyao, the strength of the Demon Realm was greatly reduced, and it suffered successive defeats, eventually retreating to the east of Kudu River, where it remains to this day.
All the demon cultivators who died in the battle were buried on the cliff.
After that, several demon lords emerged in the Eastern Demon Realm, but none of them was as powerful or ambitious as the former Dongyao Demon Lord.
On the contrary, the newly appointed Dong Yaoyan has much of the style of her ancestor, and is therefore regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the righteous.
At the end, Tan Tai Buqi still felt a little sad, "It is said in the notes of the Grandmaster that if the Demon Lord Dong Yao had not suddenly gone crazy, the situation of good and evil today would probably be completely rewritten."
Zhu Changyang was surprised to hear this: "Since Lord Dongyao is so powerful, why did he suddenly go crazy?"
"That's not clear." Tan Tai Buqi shook his head and said with emotion, "But after the death of Demon Lord Dong Yao, many people have been looking for the secret realm he left behind, wanting to get the Water-Splitting Sword that he used to kill people. It is said that as long as you get the Water-Splitting Sword, you can unify the two demon realms and become the Demon Lord of the Suhui Realm."
Zhu Changyang was not familiar with the various titles in the cultivation world, so he asked, "What is the difference between Demon Lord and the current Demon Lord?"
"You don't know this?" Tan Tai Buqi looked at him with disdain and explained, "Only the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons can be called a Venerable. Now the Demon Realm is divided into two. Whether it is Dong Yaoyan of the Hui Sect or Jiu Fang Ruo of the Su Sect, they only govern half of the Demon Realm. Naturally, they cannot be considered the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons. That's why they are called Lords."
Zhu Changyang: I understand. The Demon Lord is the president of the Demon Realm headquarters, and the Demon Lord is the general manager of the branch companies below.
However, there is no president now, and the two branch general managers are in charge of their own affairs and neither of them is willing to submit to the other.
"Unfortunately, in the years since then, no clues related to the Dongyao Secret Realm have appeared. Gradually, the outside world has forgotten about this matter. Some people even believe that the Dongyao Demon Lord may not have left behind any secret realm at all."
Zhu Changyang Mosquito-repellent Eyes: "So is there a secret realm?"
"I don't know." Tan Tai Buqi spread his hands, paused, and then said, "But our ancestor believes that with Lord Dong Yao's cultivation, it is impossible that he did not leave behind a secret realm. Maybe there is a problem with the treasure of the realm, which makes the secret realm unable to be opened."
The treasure that stabilizes the Dongyao Secret Realm is most likely the Water-Splitting Sword with immense power.
"What a pity." Zhu Changyang clapped his hands. "You said it was so impressive. I really want to see what the sword looks like."
"Then let's not do that." Tan Tai Bu Qi quickly shook his hand, "If the Water-Splitting Sword were to appear in the world, I'm afraid the Nine Realms would not be at peace..."
Jun Shu had been listening in silence, but when he heard this he suddenly sneered, "You make it sound as if the Nine Regions are peaceful now."
Tan Tai Bu Qi: "..."
Zhu Changyang: “Hahaha.”
I have to say, when Jun Shu is being sarcastic, he really has the temperament of a netizen.
Just as he was about to say something else, Jun Shu's eyes suddenly changed. He grabbed his arm with one hand, pushed Tan Tai Buqi with the other hand, and dodged behind a rock nearby.
Zhu Changyang and Tan Tai Buqi reacted very quickly. They immediately fell silent and held their breath.
Then I heard the sound of fluttering clothes in the distance, and soon after, two figures rushed past in front.
The three of them exchanged glances, then stood up, restrained their breath and followed the two figures.
After turning several bends, a mountain wall suddenly rose up in front of us, and human voices could be faintly heard on the other side of the mountain wall.
The three of them slowed down, took cover from a huge rock nearby, carefully moved around, and then were startled.
But there are four black stone peaks rising up on all sides, which are separated from each other in opposite directions. The stone peaks form a siege, and the middle sinks to form a depression.
The four corners of the depression were filled with tombstones, stacked layer upon layer, and each place was guarded by two people. Each of them wore a wooden mask, covering his face tightly.
The most terrifying thing was that there was a square wooden platform in the middle of the depression, on which stood a dark coffin with strange and complicated runes painted on it with a red liquid.
At this time, the moon had risen into the sky, and the moonlight shone on the runes, and the runes began to flow slowly, like flowing blood.
Studio:
[Ahh, what the hell is this? It's so scary! ]
[Is this the Demon Realm? No wonder it is discriminated against by the righteous, it is so damn hellish! ]
A man in fancy clothes who was also wearing a mask was pacing around the coffin, looking somewhat impatient.
The two people who had just hurried over stepped forward and saluted: "Big Brother, we have all checked and everything is normal."
"Really?" The man in fancy clothes said doubtfully, "Then why did the corpse poison appear in the forest just now?"
"Maybe it was accidentally touched by some insect, snake or beast." The man said, "The poison of the Ten Thousand Corpses is extraordinary. If you want to get out alive, you must suppress it with advanced cultivation. If there really is something, it would not be so calm."
"That's right." Another person nodded in agreement, "These days, the Junguan epidemic virus often appears. Maybe it was caused by the epidemic virus."
Zhu Changyang and the others were all shocked when they heard this. It turned out that the poison of the Junguan epidemic came from here.
The man in fancy clothes seemed convinced and asked again, "I heard that someone on the west bank of Kudu River was infected with Junguan disease. Have you dealt with it?"
"That's good." The man in fancy clothes felt a little relieved and said coldly, "Thanks to Changchunlou's generosity, the prescription for curing Junguan disease was made public, saving us a lot of effort."
He looked at the bright moon in the sky and said solemnly, "Tonight is the most critical time. We must not make any mistakes."
Another person said, "Big Brother, don't worry too much. The formation set up by Master is so wonderful and mysterious that ordinary people can hardly get through it. Especially the formation of the Kudu River. Unless someone powerful breaks the formation, no one can fly up from there."
Hearing this, Tan Tai Buqi silently glanced at Zhu Changyang beside him, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.
These people probably would never have imagined that sometimes breaking a formation does not require the help of a powerful person, but only requires some simple techniques.
"That's good." The man in fancy clothes relaxed a little, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said solemnly, "Tonight is the most critical moment, and we must not make any mistakes."
The first person said, "It's a pity that Xia Jue didn't die. He almost ruined our plan."
"It's all Zhu Changyang's fault." Another person said bitterly, "I heard that it was this Zhu who helped the Jijin Sect find the Ao fish scale armor, which allowed Xia Jue to enter the country and survive."
"It's Zhu Changyang again!" The man in fancy clothes looked sinister and spoke in a colder tone, gritting his teeth and saying, "One day, I will tear him into pieces!"
Tan Tai Buqi was surprised. It sounded as if this man had a deep hatred for Zhu Changyang.
On the other hand, Zhu Changyang remained calm and gave Jun Shu a meaningful look.
Jun Shu: “…!”
He hated himself for understanding Zhu Changyang's eyes in an instant!
As soon as the man in fancy clothes spoke, he recognized his voice. Although it had been many days, this man had always been his biggest psychological shadow during this period of time.
Zhu Changyang is becoming more and more courageous, and he even dares to look at him at this time.
Jun Shu held his breath and glared at Zhu Changyang angrily.
Zhu Changyang tried to hold back his laughter. It had been a long time since he had been stabbed by Jun Ge's eyes. He missed it a little.
Yes, he had already recognized that this man in gorgeous clothes and wearing a mask was none other than Zi Jiuwen, the eldest senior brother of the famous Yuxu Sect of the Dan Sect.
Zi Jiuwen worked hard to build up his image and was a popular young actor praised by everyone. However, his nature as a scumbag was exposed at his wedding with Hua Qingdai, and he was manipulated by Zhu Changyang into becoming a despicable villain who coveted Jun Shu's beauty, which also ruined the reputation of the Yuxu Sect.
After that, Zhu Changyang refined a spiritual power rice cooker, which greatly weakened the advantage of the Yuxu faction.
Therefore, everyone in the Yuxu Sect gnashed their teeth when they mentioned Zhu Changyang, and Zi Jiuwen even wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
After a while, Zi Jiuwen calmed down and waved his hand, "Bring Xia Jue up."
Immediately, two people came over carrying a wooden doll.
The doll was as tall as an ordinary person, with its limbs and head carved from a whole piece of stainless wood, and its facial features dotted with the same red liquid.
The strange thing was that the facial features drawn actually moved gently, as if they had consciousness.
Zhu Changyang watched from a distance and got goose bumps all over his body.
The man in fancy clothes looked at the puppet with a smug look in his eyes, and sneered, "Fortunately, Master had foresight and gave Xia Jue the corpse pill first. Although he failed to obtain her body, he finally captured her soul. Otherwise, we would have been in a lot of trouble today."
Zhu Changyang was startled when he heard this, and finally understood why Xia Jue's soul was abducted silently despite the Jijin Sect's heavy defense.
Because the person behind the scenes doesn't need to enter Ji Jin Sect in person.
On that day, Xia Jue's death was approaching, and in order to buy some more time, the Ji Jin Sect asked the Dan Sect for a life-extending elixir.
Due to the urgent situation and Xia Jue's last remaining strength, Jijin Sect did not dare to think about rescuing her, so they did not examine the elixir in detail.
Unexpectedly, the problem lies with these pills.
The elixir was originally supposed to be made from Xia Jue's body after his death, but due to Zhu Changyang's intervention, Xia Jue did not die.
If Xia Jue had normal cultivation level, no matter how powerful the elixir was, it would not be able to harm her. However, she had just experienced the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man, and then devoted herself to refining weapons, which caused huge losses, so that only one tenth of her cultivation level remained.
As a result, the body was not stolen, but the soul left the body.
In addition, Zhu Changyang also remembered the incident of the tomb in Yaoyin Pavilion being robbed.
According to Yaoyin Pavilion, the tombs that were robbed all belonged to fallen predecessors, and there was a faint demonic aura around the tombs.
Later it was confirmed that Huan Ruochan and others were responsible for the crime. The reason Huan Ruochan did that was because his sea of consciousness was insufficient and he needed to suppress it with elixirs. However, those elixirs had problems and made him controlled by others.
Now that I think about it, this plot cannot be said to be exactly the same as Xia Jue’s situation, but the similarity is more than 90%.
While thinking, Zi Jiuwen had already started the next step.
"You two will guard me while I refine Xia Jue's spirit into the Ungrey Wood and turn it into a living corpse."
Zi Jiuwen sneered, took out a wooden square box from the mustard bag, opened the lid, and inside was a small green jade tripod slightly larger than the palm. There was mist in the small tripod, as if there was another world inside.
Xia Jue's soul was apparently hanging in the small tripod, but his eyes were closed and he was unconscious, obviously in a state of confusion.
Tan Tai Buqi was shocked at once, but he was even more shocked by what followed.
"Xia Jue is quite capable. The Xuannv Cauldron has been refining her for such a long time, but it still hasn't completely refined her."
Tan Tai Bu Qi:!!!
Xuannv Ding!
Isn’t this the most precious treasure of the Yuxu Sect
Could it be that these people in front of me—
He was so surprised that he couldn't help but gasp.
The movement of the breath immediately aroused Zi Jiuwen's vigilance, "Who is it?"
At the same time, the rusty sword flew out, carrying with it a sharp sword energy, and stabbed towards Zi Jiuwen.
Zi Jiuwen reacted very quickly and leaped backwards immediately, barely avoiding the sword energy.
The rusty sword turned, and Jun Shu stood proudly, his white clothes fluttering... He wore a strange mask with tubes connected to it on his face, and at first glance he looked a bit like a big-eyed praying mantis.
Zijiu asked in surprise: "Who are you?"
Zhu Changyang poked his head out from behind the rock and cursed, "Zi Jiuwen, you are such a heartless person. It's only been a short time and you don't recognize your sweetheart anymore!"
Jun Shu:!
Zijiu asked: !!!
The memories of the dead began to attack him again and again!
Studio:
[I'm going blind. Jun Shu is so handsome when he appears, but why is he wearing a gas mask? ]
[It has the flavor of cyber cultivation~]
[Damn it, it turns out to be a scumbag named Zi! ! ! ]
[Haha, Chang Yang is so mean, even bringing up other people's dark history! ]
[For a moment, I wondered who was hurt more, the scumbag or Jun Shu…]
The author has something to say:
Zijiu asked: I will kill both of you!
Xiaoci: I'm going to kill both of you!
