In the exclusive cave.
Pang Jian's consciousness escaped into the sword, and he was surprised to see that the many magic lights, magic flames, and complex and mysterious magic patterns representing the source of the devil had all become dim.
The Source Demon's multiple thoughts and consciousness were in a messy trance.
After his will fell, he did not alarm the Source Demon immediately. The Source Demon seemed to be unaware of him and had left the copper box.
The Source Demon's thoughts and will were erratic and had not come together for a long time.
This went on for a while.
The source demon gradually listened to the evil thoughts in the hearts of the elders and disciples of the Sword Tower, and felt the power from them.
At this moment, it suddenly woke up.
"Pang Jian!"
"Where did you dump me?! That damn place made me extremely desperate! It's so scary!"
"Damn it, you might as well just wipe out all my thoughts and consciousness!"
"I will never! Never, ever go to that horrible place again!"
The source demon's screams of fear erupted from different evil thoughts, appearing extremely hysterical.
It seemed as if it had fallen into a state of madness in an instant.
"Shh! Shhh!"
There was a dark sword intent and sword light, released outwards like a devilish fire, trying to flow to the outside.
“Wow! Wow!”
A golden river of divine light, like a strong corrosive acid, fell towards the evil thoughts of the source demon in the sword, corroding and erasing the devil fire, devil clouds, and clusters of devil patterns.
With the special golden soul power of the Hell Soul Bee, it is easy to strangle the will of the Source Demon.
Soon, the source demon became dying again and dared not roar anymore.
"I, I don't want to go back. I don't want to enter the box."
It murmured weakly, its voice filled with pleading.
Pang Jian sneered in response.
At this time, he also thought of the terrible feeling he had when he jumped into the bronze box without wearing the bronze medal.
In the endless darkness, his hands could not touch the lid of the box, nor could he feel the bottom of the box.
In that foreign place, there was no shining sun or moon, no rising stars, only dead silence and nothingness.
It was a feeling even more terrifying than being in a strange fog!
In the strange fog, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Occasionally, a gap in space would appear, and you might encounter a living creature, or a corpse that was also lost in the strange fog.
But that dark and boundless foreign land only brings people darkness, dead silence, and nothingness, which can only make people feel the deepest despair.
Even he would shudder every time he thought of it.
"This is your punishment."
Pang Jian snorted coldly and shouted, "How dare you instigate the remnants of the Demon Sword Sect to carefully plan to assassinate me? Do you think I can't find out what you did secretly?"
He did not interrogate, nor did he give Yuanmo a chance to identify himself. He just confirmed the matter out loud.
From this, we can see the attitude of Yuanmo.
"You are not my good master." Yuan Mo was silent for a long time before responding sullenly: "Mo Nan's subordinates still regard me as the soul pillar of the Demon Sword Sect. They will find a better sword holder for me!"
"I want to escape from you and don't want to be enslaved by you. What's wrong with me?"
This statement undoubtedly acknowledges that it is the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Brother is right."
Pang Jian muttered to himself.
He quietly observed the state of the Source Demon and gradually realized that the Source Demon was inside the sword, and his consciousness became somewhat confused again.
"No! Don't enter that copper box. The endless silence and darkness will drive me crazy!"
"Mo Nan! It's all your fault that you are useless and haven't been promoted to a true god!"
"You old immortal from the Sword Tower, what right do you have to suppress me?"
The different consciousnesses of the Source Demon were in a state of fragmentation and separation, and it began to talk nonsense.
It was extremely repulsive and terrified by the dark and silent environment inside the box, and many of its words revolved around this point.
Pang Jian said nothing, just watching it in its confused state of consciousness. He knew that even without external interference, it could recover through the evil thoughts of the elders and disciples of the Sword Tower after some of its evil thoughts were wiped out.
"Since it's so afraid of entering the box, then..." Pang Jian's mind moved, and he threw the Source Demon Sword into the copper box again, thinking: "Sharpen the sword, sharpen the sword, I still need to sharpen it a little more."
"No! Pang Jian, please!"
“Don’t take me in again! That endless dark place seems to be the most evil and terrifying dark place below the fifth layer of purgatory in the legend.”
"Even my demon soul senses only darkness!"
"Pang Jian, let's open our hearts and talk, don't..."
The source demon pleaded miserably.
Pang Jian turned a deaf ear to it. After getting the answer, he once again locked the Source Demon Sword in the copper box.
The more the Source Demon feared something, the more he would give it to the Source Demon. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to use the sword, so he would slowly temper the rebellious nature of this magic sword.
"Below the fifth layer of Purgatory, in the most evil and terrifying dark place, even the source demons feel hopeless and helpless."
"This box..."
Pang Jian exclaimed.
Wearing the "Gate of Purgatory" and stepping into it, he came into contact with the starry sky outside Purgatory and could see the sun, moon and stars close at hand, as if he was above the forbidden sky of Purgatory.
If you don't wear the bronze medal, you will be at the bottom of purgatory, a place of endless darkness and death.
It's like heaven and earth, and there's a world of difference between entering with a bronze medal and entering without one.
A ray of spiritual consciousness entered the sword tower, and he sent a message to the light dot representing Li Zhaotian: "Master, I want to know something related to the Tongtian Jie Pillar."
After waiting for a long time, Li Zhaotian did not respond.
In fact, in the three days since he returned to the Sword Tower from Shuiyue Town, Li Zhaotian did not contact him through the Sword Order, and he did not talk to him in a long-winded manner as usual, telling him some interesting stories about the Purgatory World.
"Did you get delayed by something?"
After hesitating for a moment, he sent a message to the light dot representing Chen Weihuang: "Brother, I can't contact the master."
"Me too." Chen Weihuang responded quickly.
"First Realm, what happened?"
"I don't know, but I'm asking."
"Sword Tower, who should I consult regarding matters related to the Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillar?"
"Grand Elder Jiang Ran."
"Besides him?"
"You can go to the library to look up relevant information."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
After some communication, Pang Jian came out of the cave.
…
Mojian Peak, Book Tower.
Under the guidance of Pan Zheng, Pang Jian found many ancient books related to the Tongtian Jie Pillar in a relatively remote study on the fifth floor of the library.
He also learned that the seven pillars of calamity had stood in the fifth realm of Purgatory ten thousand years ago.
All the most powerful forces in the First Realm, all the true gods at that time, and the powerful Tianfeng, were the creators of the Tongtian Tribulation Pillar.
Tianfeng made even greater contributions.
However, the historical records do not mention the specific contributions of Tianfeng. It only says that without Tianfeng, there would be no seven pillars of heavenly tribulation.
Initially, there were no cities or villages above the seven pillars that reached the sky.
Just the wisdom seal left by the true god at that time and the power displayed by the seven heavenly calamity pillars were enough to make the sentient beings in the fifth realm, who had been severely damaged at that time, unable to resist.
Because before the Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillar was erected, the human race had just won a huge victory and killed the strongest alien races.
Later, the alien races that were driven down gradually adapted to the dirty alien power. After a long period of recuperation, they began to produce warriors with powerful bloodlines again.
At this time, cities were built on top of the pillars one after another, and the seven pillars of heaven were continuously improved and strengthened.
The seven towns are Bagua City, White Bone City, Black Wood Village, Blood Prison Village, Dead Soul Town, Yin Soul Town, and Ghost Soul Town.
They were moved to the pillars at different times.
There were also seven kinds of holy and god-level small objects, including knives, swords, hammers, spears, mirrors, flags, and boxes, which were placed in the town as the focus of the formation.
Seven towns and seven array centers give the Tongtian Tribulation Pillar greater power, further enhancing its deterrent power.
In the eras that followed, powerful aliens continued to emerge, but the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar was also continuously increasing, making it difficult for the aliens to break through the ban.
The human race was also able to live and work in peace in the world above, without being disturbed by alien races from the lower world.
"The classics don't say which of the seven objects is holy and which is god-level, nor do they say their specific names and effects." Pang Jian held the sword order and asked Chen Weihuang for help: "I want to know more and more about the Tongtian Jie Pillar."
Chen Weihuang was silent for a long time, and said: "Then go find the great elder Jiang Ran."
"Why is it him again?"
"In the past, he was in charge of this aspect. He was the oldest elder and the last disciple of the Sword God. Some of the more important books related to the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar were in his hands."
“Why was he allowed not to return it?”
"Then go ask the master."
Chen Weihuang ignored him.
…
A few days later.
In the cave, Pang Jian used the follow-up techniques of "Great Creation Holy Body" and the flesh and blood of high-level ferocious beasts to strengthen his body and skin, striving to achieve the formation of the Golden Body Realm.
“Boom boom!”
Someone suddenly knocked on the door and said with a smile, "Brother Pang, we haven't seen each other for many years. Can you open the door and talk?"
Pang Jian was stunned.
The voice was very unfamiliar. He recalled and found that none of the people in his mind matched the owner of the voice.
"Who are you?"
"Haha, Cenji Mountain Range, Sun Bin."
Pang Jian was shocked!
He hurried to the stone gate in a panic, opened it wide and welcomed Sun Bin in. He then took a deep breath, calmed himself and asked, "How did you get here?"
"Your name is known throughout the world of Purgatory. It is easy to find."
Sun Bin's face was all smiles.
Licking the corner of his mouth, the guest official from the Pure Land who had not accepted Pang Jian and brought him along, bowed and said, "Brother Pang, I was blind at the time, please don't blame me!"
"Today, I have come here specially to sincerely apologize to you. Please forgive me!"
He kept nodding and bowing, explaining with a bitter face: "I am only a guest official in the Pure Land, not an elder, and my status is not high. Young Master Pang Lin, although your natural lightning vortex was outstanding at that time, it was not one in a million."
"I don't have that right, and I don't want to cause too much trouble, so..."
"Anyway, I was wrong!"
