Although it is troublesome, the addition of the Fairy Sword World is still extremely symbolic. All the derivative and native worlds within a certain area around the location of the main God Space have established connections with the main God Space, and the degree of connection is not low. At the lowest, the Marvel World has control over nearly two river systems in the hands of the main God Space.
After completing this, Qi Yun can also try to lead the main god space to a higher position, such as reaching the eighth level first to achieve substantial uniqueness, or the first true fifth level of qualified people appearing below to open the channel for ascending levels, or the connected world successfully advancing to the original world.
If you think about it this way, there are actually quite a few things that Qi Yun needs to do urgently, so let's set a small goal first and create a few native worlds!
On the way to this small goal, there are some broad stage points, such as increasing the control over the Marvel world and the Chinese Paladin world to more than 50%, finding out what happened in Lingshan without using large-scale force, secretly promoting Tony Stark's world-traveling plan to be successfully implemented, etc.
These things are also very important, but like small goals they all have one thing in common: the results will not be seen in a short period of time, and you need to be patient and wait.
Seven days later in the Fairy Sword World, Dugu Yuyun, who had recovered from his injuries, came to the Demon Locking Tower. It was a rule that Shushan disciples were not allowed to enter the Demon Locking Tower, but this rule was meaningless in front of their two generations of leaders. What's more, they came this time for serious business and for the sake of all people in the world.
The Demon Locking Tower is different from ordinary pagodas. One has to enter this tower from top to bottom, rather than from bottom to top as usual. This is because the real function of the Demon Locking Tower is to separate the human world and the demon world.
As we all know, in most cases, monsters are new life forms that have been transformed from a single beast created by Shennong through cultivation. However, nowadays mortals and even some cultivators simply judge monsters by their appearance and aura, completely ignoring their essence. Of course, part of the reason for this is that they are unable to observe their essence.
When humans and monsters were first born, humans were weak and monsters were strong. In order to protect humans, Fuxi, as the leader of the gods, cooperated with Nuwa to seal the entrance to the monster world under Mount Shu. In other words, as long as you follow the Monster Locking Tower all the way down, you can reach the inner Mount Shu - the monster world.
To put it bluntly, it was because Shennong, the leader of the monsters at that time, disappeared, otherwise the monsters' living space would not have been compressed to such an extent.
Dugu Yuyun's itinerary this time is to go down all the way, pass through the ten-story Demon Locking Tower, and then through the formation formed by the seven-star dragon pillars at the bottom of the tower to reach the demon world.
Due to the characteristics of the Demon Locking Tower, it is extremely difficult for external spells to affect the interior. Therefore, as soon as Dugu Yuyun enters the Demon Locking Tower, it means that everything will depend on him alone. No matter what accidents happen, as long as it is not something that can be directly observed by the outside world, such as the collapse of the Demon Locking Tower, there will be no reinforcements.
“Senior Sword Saint, I have already explained the specific situation of the Demon Locking Tower to you. If possible, I hope you will not destroy the ecology inside the tower and reach the demon world while maintaining stability.” Relying on his awakened memories of his past life, Li Xiaoyao told Dugu Yuyun everything about the situation inside the Demon Locking Tower, including Jiang Qing, Jiang Wan'er and others who might be currently in the tower.
After he became the head of the sect, he wanted to open the tower and release those who had helped him in his past life. However, he couldn't do it because the impact on the Demon Locking Tower would be too great and it might easily cause the tower to collapse.
Dugu Yuyun nodded slightly, "I know, you stay in Shushan, I'll go!"
After leaving a word, Dugu Yuyun entered the Demon Locking Tower directly from the top of the tower. Li Xiaoyao sighed slightly in his heart. According to his familiarity and strength, he should be the most suitable one to enter. However, he has become the head of the sect now. His status is no longer suitable for entering the Demon Locking Tower, let alone leaving Shushan for a long time.
As soon as he entered the Demon Locking Tower, the eerie demonic aura and ghostly resentment began to entangle Dugu Yuyun.
As the head of Shushan for so many years, Dugu Yuyun has experienced all kinds of things, big and small. The only thing he has not done is to enter the Demon Locking Tower directly.
However, after entering, the scene in front of him was a little beyond Dugu Yuyun's expectations.
It's not a problem of the gloomy environment, but a problem of the number of monsters and ghosts. Shushan has been established for so many years, and countless ghosts and monsters have been thrown into the Demon Locking Tower. Even if the demon-transforming water spreads throughout the Demon Locking Tower and effectively curbs the growth of the number of monsters in the Demon Locking Tower, the remaining number should never be this small. It seems that the situation is worse than what was detected outside.
Holding his breath and concentrating, after switching the external circulation to the internal circulation, Dugu Yuyun simply ignored the one or two ghosts floating not far away or the several monsters whose consciousness had been erased by the long years, and walked directly to the next level.
Coming to the side of the ninth-level teleportation array, Dugu Yuyun squatted down and lightly touched the teleportation array with his fingers. A gel-like substance stuck to his fingertips, which emitted a biting chill.
With a slight flick of his fingertips, a stream of spiritual power shot out through his fingers and directly hit the teleportation array, accurately hitting the translucent gel covering it. Suddenly, streams of white gas gushed out from the vicinity of the teleportation array, and the extremely low temperature began to cause this location to freeze.
snort!
Dugu Yuyun snorted coldly, and the piercing sword intent projected out from his body, directly breaking the gradually solidifying ice.
After strangling all the ice at the entrance of the teleportation array with sword intent, Dugu Yuyun directly triggered the teleportation array and headed to the eighth floor.
As soon as he entered the eighth floor, a gust of cold wind blew on Dugu Yuyun. He was already immune to cold or heat, so he waved his hand to break the shallow ice on the surface of his clothes and walked towards the exit of the teleportation array.
As soon as he turned the corner, the scene he saw was so stunning that even the knowledgeable Dugu Yuyun could not help but be dumbfounded.
In front of him were overlapping ice sculptures, each of which contained the figure of a little demon. Through the light blue ice, Dugu Yuyun could even see the expression of the little demon when it was frozen.
What on earth happened!
This is what Dugu Yuyun wants to ask most right now.
His spiritual sense swept through the little monsters, and after confirming that they were dead and lifeless, Dugu Yuyun pointed his hand into a sword and stabbed forward!
A giant sword shot out from the fingertips, piercing through the tightly overlapping ice sculptures in front of him, and opened a path.
The eighth floor was even more desolate than the ninth. There was nothing in this larger space except for the ubiquitous ice sculptures. This made Dugu Yuyun wonder if the floors below would be even more exaggerated.
Dugu Yuyun broke through the finger-thick ice on the eighth level of the teleportation array and entered the seventh level.
The temperature in this layer is lower, and the chill in the air carries a hint of bleakness.
Frozen solid in this layer are weak ghosts, whose souls have completely merged with the ice around them.
At this point, Dugu Yuyun could be sure that, although he didn't know whether something had happened in the demon world or not, something had happened in the Demon Locking Tower. There was no one alive on the top three floors, so one could imagine the situation below. It was no wonder that when Shushan conducted routine detections, they found that the number of lives and souls in the Demon Locking Tower had decreased.
According to the map he obtained when he took office as the head, as well as Li Xiaoyao's previous supplement, Dugu Yuyun quickly rushed towards the teleportation array on this level.
The teleportation array on the seventh floor was covered with not only ice, but also some specific symbols. Dugu Yuyun was not clear about their specific meaning, but he could recognize that the characters should be from ancient times. In addition, the formation formed by the connection between the characters seemed to be blocking the cold air from the next layer.
But judging from the results, the isolation was not successful.
The seal was broken with one sword, and the teleportation array instantly turned into a fountain, but while fountains sprayed water, this one sprayed cold air.
The teleportation arrays in the Demon Locking Tower are all built on the space nodes of each layer of space. The current situation only means that the cold air on the next layer has exceeded the limit and broken through the barrier effect of the space node itself.
Dugu Yuyun moved his hands up and down, and four spiritual swords flew out from his sleeves. After outlining a formation model in the air, he began to press down little by little, suppressing the gushing cold air. During this gap, Dugu Yuyun triggered the teleportation formation and entered the next level.
When heading to the next level, Dugu Yuyun had already prepared himself mentally that his physique that was immune to cold and heat might become ineffective. But after actually entering, Dugu Yuyun found that the temperature of this level was normal and not cold.
Looking up and around, I saw blue stripes on the ceiling, extending like branches, and one of them happened to be on the teleportation array.
Clang! The sword is unsheathed!
Dugu Yuyun found the problem and the long sword behind him flew out, slashing at the blue branch stripes above the teleportation array with unbreakable force.
The moment the sword and spirit blade touched the branches, Dugu Yuyun felt a chill in his heart. This was the fear of death. This chill urged him to give up the attack and also told him that this was a disrespectful act.
Dugu Yuyun had a blank expression on his face. He just wanted to say, is that all
Much worse than that foreign god that day.
After eliminating the external interference and the sword blade cutting on the branch, Dugu Yuyun found that he had only done useless work. The blue branch stripes were still there, and the top of the Demon Locking Tower was still there, both of which were intact.
Instead, a small hole was opened on the sword.
After a few seconds of silence, the sword fell into Dugu Yuyun's hands. He turned the sword over and began to look for the root along the branches.
Going forward, the extension point of the branches is on the teleportation array on this level. It looks as if they grew out of there. It is also worth mentioning that there are no ice sculptures, no living creatures, nothing at all on this level, only these inexplicable "wallpapers".
On the fifth layer, the blue branch stripes are denser. Just like the previous layer, there is nothing on this layer except wallpaper.
We quickly arrived at the teleportation array on the fifth floor. What extended here were no longer twigs, but branches. So, it seemed that the branches on the fifth and sixth floors were just spreading out from this branch.
On the fourth floor, just as he regained his vision, a black thing appeared in front of Dugu Yuyun, and he almost cut it down with his sword.
This is an ice sculpture. Dugu Yuyun couldn't understand what was inside the sculpture. Was it a mass of meat growing wildly? But overall, it looked a bit humanoid. Could it be some new type of monster
In fact, this is just because he is short of experience. The wildly growing meat is called T virus hyperplasia and has super activity. The person frozen inside is Matt, a qualified person in the main god space and an important member of the Umbrella Corporation.
Without time to think, Dugu Yuyun broke the ice and rescued the creature inside. The moment he left the ice, the sound of his heartbeat began to sound.
Dugu Yuyun stood in front of him with a sword in his hand, waiting for Matt to wake up. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was really unpredictable. He didn't expect that after spending half his life exorcising demons, he would have to save demons today.
Suddenly, Matt, who was lying on the ground, raised his right hand reflexively. With a bang, the rapidly growing flesh on his arm directly burst the front fist, and in less than a second, an umbrella was formed above Dugu Yuyun's head.
Crack, crack, the ice continued to spread and Matt was frozen into a ball again.
He took a step back and moved the sword away from Matt's neck. Dugu Yuyun looked up at the top of the meat umbrella and found a leaf emitting cold air falling there. He didn't know when it fell silently from the branch.
Shushan-Sword God Slash!
Dugu Yuyun, who did not dare to underestimate the fallen leaves, gathered the sword intent in his chest and slashed it down with one sword. While the sword intent broke the fallen leaves, the spiritual energy around the sword was also directly frozen and turned into a large lump of ice.
Immediately afterwards, Dugu Yuyun tapped Matt lightly, and the spiritual energy spread from the contact point to Matt's whole body, directly melting the ice. Dugu Yuyun originally wanted to repair Matt's body, but the spiritual energy detection room found that the speed at which this person's body repaired itself was already incredible, so there was no need for him to do this.
Having learned his lesson, Dugu Yuyun focused 30% of his attention on the top of his head, guarding against possible falling leaves. On the other hand, he was also carefully looking at Matt's appearance, wondering when this monster was captured and why he had no impression of him at all.
Ten minutes later, the repair of the T virus was roughly completed, Matt's brain began to restart, and the high-level nerves resumed working, taking over the instincts of various parts of the body.
When Matt opened his eyes, he immediately saw the sword floating next to Dugu Yuyun, and asked subconsciously, "A disciple of Shushan?"
"Yeah I am, what's going on here?!"
"Follow me!" Matt's strong right arm quickly returned to its original shape. The extra cells were quickly broken down by the T virus and became the reserve army in his body again.
"Why did you come so late? Jiang Qing said that according to the progress, you should have arrived three days ago." Matt kept asking questions while leading the way.
"I was delayed by something." Dugu Yuyun made up an excuse. After all, he couldn't say that he and Li Xiaoyao, the two people who were capable of coming in, were injured because of their recent suicidal behavior and have just recovered.
Matt had no doubts, and as he moved forward he quickly led Dugu Yuyun to avoid the falling leaves and quickly approached the teleportation point on this floor.
