Chapter 699: The Origin of the Demonic Witch, Nine-Story Witch Tower
The chaos faded away, and the space returned to normal.
Han Yi found that at this moment, under his feet, there was a huge teleportation array, with countless runes laid out on the ground, connected and interlocked, forming a huge array base.
Above his head, there was a yellow Dao array, covering the place where he was. With a sweep of Dao thoughts, he knew that the place where he was was a land with an area roughly equivalent to two fairyland, with yellow Dao light, suspended in the chaos.
The Dao thoughts expanded outward, and Han Yi suddenly raised his head and looked beyond the land. At the edge of the distance that Dao thoughts could sense, there was an extremely vast and invisible sacred mountain standing in the chaos.
Han Yi instantly realized that this sacred mountain must be the Demon Witch Mountain.
And the land he was on at the moment was a land surrounding the Demon Witch Mountain. There was not just one such land outside the Demon Witch Mountain, but countless.
Han Yi's expression did not change much. He had seen the Ancestral God Star and the Eternal Dao Mark. Relatively speaking, the Demon Witch Mountain was far less shocking than the Eternal Dao Mark, not to mention the Ancestral God Star.
He retracted his gaze and looked outside the formation.
At this moment, outside the formation, a female cultivator in a Taoist robe was looking at him. Han Yi took a step and came to the front of the female cultivator.
"I am Han Yi, and I meet you, fellow Taoist." Han Yi spoke first.
Opposite him, Jiang Xiying looked at Han Yi with a flickering gaze. He was quite interested in Han Yi. It was rare to see a prodigy who had crossed several major levels from a Golden Immortal to a Dao Realm in six thousand years.
Moreover, Han Yi's expression did not change much after he appeared just now, and after seeing the huge Demon Witch Mountain, she caught her eyes.
She instantly knew that the Dao Realm cultivator in front of her was by no means simple.
She was originally worried that the Dao Realm cultivator she had recruited would have a fast progress, but his knowledge was average and his combat power was not strong. But at this moment, this idea was overturned by her because she could not see through him either.
She calmed down and said:
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Jiang Xiying, the second mountain master of the Demon Witch Mountain."
"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Han."
The voice was pleasant, even better than it was not long ago across the teleportation array.
Han Yi smiled slightly: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang."
Jiang Xiying pointed to the side and said: "Fellow Daoist Han, please go this way. I will take you to the Demon Martial Hall first and replace your identity token with the purple token corresponding to the Dao Realm."
Immediately, Jiang Xiying walked forward, and Han Yi followed without hesitation.
"To be honest, this is my third time leaving the big world and stepping into the chaos. My understanding of the Demon Witch Mountain is only from my fellow Dao Realm senior brother, which is not comprehensive. Can Fellow Daoist Jiang help me solve my doubts?"
Jiang Xiying glanced at the indifference on Han Yi's face and found that Han Yi did not have the slightest trepidation on his face, and could not help but look up to him a little more.
"The origin of the Demon Witch Mountain can be traced back to the beginning of chaos."
"Twelve ancient demon witches who were born from chaos and were born as gods established the Demon Witch Mountain. Each of these twelve strong men gave rise to a corresponding branch, which together form the twelve branches of demon witches until today."
"The Demon Witch Mountain in Fuheng Daoyu, which is what you see now, was built by the Sword Demon Witch. Therefore, in the Demon Witch Mountain, this place is also called the Sword Witch Mountain."
"..."
"There are a total of ninety-nine mountain masters in the Sword Witch Mountain. These ninety-nine mountain masters The Lord, together with the mountain spirit of the Demon Witch Mountain, constitute the upper echelons of the Sword Witch Mountain. "
"Among the ninety-nine mountain masters, the first mountain master, whose Taoist name is Sword Witch, is one of the twelve ancient beings. However, the first mountain master is rarely in the mountain. According to records, he has not returned for three Chaos Ages."
"And I belong to the second mountain master of the Demon Witch Mountain, the Taoist Master Shengyan."
"The Taoist Master has been in seclusion for 130,000 years. If he comes out, he will definitely break through to the Heavenly Venerable and become the second Heavenly Venerable of my Sword Witch Mountain."
Hearing this, Han Yi's heart trembled slightly.
The Taoist Master mentioned by Jiang Xiying is not the Taoist Ancestor, nor the Lord of the Dao Field, but the Lord of the Great Dao.
This title is a special title for the existence of the Hedao Realm.
And he also knew that in addition to the Taoist Master Shengyan who broke through to the Heavenly Venerable in seclusion, there are four Taoist Masters in the Demon Witch Mountain, namely the third to sixth mountain masters.
As Jiang Xiying narrated, Han Yi understood more and more about the Sword Witch Mountain.
After a while, Jiang Xiying took him away from the floating land and went to the vast Demon Witch Mountain. In a palace on the mountainside, she processed and exchanged the sword card for Han Yi.
From the black iron level sword apprentice sword card, across several major levels, directly changed to the purple sword card of the Dao realm level.
On one side of the sword card, there is a towering sacred mountain engraved, which is similar to the Demon Witch Mountain where he is at the moment, and on the other side, there is a word "Yi".
For the sword apprentice sword card, it is naturally impossible to engrave your own name, but for the Dao realm, there is a character representing your honorific title on the purple sword card.
After Han Yi got the sword card, he put it away, and Jiang Xiying was relieved when she saw it.
The main purpose of her recruiting Han Yi is to let Han Yi compete for the position of the mountain master and make a profit for herself.
But this goal may not be achieved.
And if Han Yi fails, she will also persuade him to choose to join the second mountain master camp, so that the second mountain master camp will have one more Dao realm existence.
In Jianwu Mountain, the mountain masters are naturally not playing the same game, but each has his own thoughts and will compete for resources.
The Taoist Master Shengyan has been in seclusion for too long, and the second mountain master's voice is getting weaker and weaker. Therefore, recruiting one more Taoist to join is also a potential benefit for Jiang Xiying from a long-term perspective.
And if Han Yi succeeds in the election and becomes the mountain leader, then he is new here and has his own connections. He can also cooperate with the second mountain owner's camp. This will also provide a strong support for the second mountain owner, which is even better.
All in all, there are many benefits.
In fact, in addition to Han Yilai, Jiang Xiying also recruited four other Taoists, but those four Taoists had average qualifications and were not Taoists beloved by a big world.
And there are many people like her in the Demonic Witch Mountain.
"Next, I will take fellow Taoist Han to the temporary cave. You can practice in the cave. In nine years, the competition for the selection of the mountain master will officially begin. Fellow Taoist, please make some adjustments during this time."
"In addition, if fellow Daoist Han has any questions, you can ask me at any time."
Han Yi's eyes moved. He actually had two questions that he wanted to ask. He just took this opportunity and asked:
"I really have two doubts. I don't know if it is inconvenient for our friends to answer them."
Seeing Jiang Xiying nod, Han Yi continued:
"The first one is that Demon Witch Mountain does not seem to have strict requirements for the mountain owner. Even foreigners like me can participate as long as they hold the sword card. As far as I know, the Demon Witch Sword Card has It’s not difficult to get.”
Jiang Xiying smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Han doesn't know something."
"Since the establishment of Sword Witch Mountain, it has gone through countless years, and the system on the mountain has been modified countless times. Finally, it was decided by the first mountain lord, the Sword Witch Heavenly Lord, to accept the powerful Chaos, as long as it does not violate the rules of the Sword Witch Mountain If you follow the nine fundamental mountain laws, the rest will be fine.”
Han Yi also knew the nine fundamental mountain laws mentioned by Jiang Xiying, which were nine relatively common rules, such as not leaking important information about the Demonic Witch Mountain.
"And if you violate the Nine Laws, even if you are promoted to Heavenly Lord, you can easily kill him as long as the No. 1 Mountain Lord takes action."
"With this Dinghai Divine Pearl in Sword Wu Mountain, even if it is destroyed, it can be rebuilt quickly."
Han Yi nodded slightly when he heard the words. From Jiang Xiying's words, he naturally understood that there is the first mountain master in Demon Witch Mountain. No matter what happens, it can be settled. The first mountain master, Sword Witch Tianzun, is the greatest guarantee.
His face straightened and he asked his second question.
"I still have a doubt, that is, today's Demon Witch Mountain, the strong ones at the Tianzun level are actually disconnected. In other words, why is there only one Tianzun, and the second mountain master, the Taoist Master of Shengyan, is still one step away from being promoted? "Tianzun."
Han Yi had this doubt when Xuanzang Daozu in Suizhu Hall mentioned the strength of the master of Mowu Mountain. At that time, he asked senior brother Xuanzang, but unfortunately Xuanzang didn't know either.
Jiang Xiying was slightly stunned. Obviously, she didn't know about this problem, or in other words, he had never thought of this problem.
"I have never thought about this problem."
"Something strange."
Jiang Xiying's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.
Obviously, Jiang Xiying also realized that something was wrong.
"I will note this issue down for now, and I will investigate it later. If I have any conclusions the next time I see my fellow Taoist, I will share it with my fellow Taoist."
Han Yi thanked him: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for clarifying my doubts."
After a while, Jiang Xiying sent Han Yi to a cave and left again.
After watching the other party leave, Han Yi looked away.
It is said to be a cave, but the place where he is at the moment is a secret realm. This secret realm is a special space that exists in the Tao realm and is taken out from the normal space of Demon Witch Mountain.
This secret realm is not far away from the Demonic Witch Mountain. It is similar to the land he arrived at after teleporting before. Moreover, the power of fairy spirits in the secret realm is extremely rich, which is suitable for Taoist practice.
Han Yi was not strict about the cultivation environment, so he briefly explored this secret realm and found that there were monks living in this secret realm, but the secret realm was divided into upper and lower floors. He was on the upper floor, and the low-level monks were on the lower and upper floors. The aura of the fairy spirit is strong, while the aura of the lower level is average.
He didn't have much thought about the cave he arranged. Once he came, he would make peace with it.
With a wave of his hand, he took out a black Dao sword. This Dao sword was not his original four swords, but was bought by Wanjie Daozu from outside transactions over the years. The purpose was naturally to give Han Yi Use it to improve Han Yi's strength.
Of course, Han Yi also gave several Taoist artifacts obtained from Wanchao Daozu to Wanjie Daozu to prevent Xianting from losing money.
This black Dao sword, named Xuan Xiang, comes from the Kunlun Immortal Realm.
In addition to the Xuanxiang Dao Sword, he also has a Dao sword that has not yet begun to be refined, the Xuli Dao Sword.
These two Dao swords are both low-level Dao swords. Together with Han Yi's original four Dao swords, they can greatly enhance the power of his Void Sword Realm.
However, it didn't take long, and Han Yi had only roughly refined the Xuanxiang Dao Sword. It was expected that he could barely activate the power of the five Dao swords before the mountain master competed.
Time passes. For the Taoist realm, it can be said that nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the secret realm, Han Yi stood up, picked up the black Taoist sword from his knees, and walked out of the secret realm with the Taoist sword in hand.
Outside the secret realm is the chaos of nothingness, and across a section of chaotic space is the huge Demonic Witch Mountain.
He suddenly sensed something and looked to the side. He came within the sensing range of Dao Nian. Three Dao realms also came out of the secret realm of Dongtian Land. One of them had a gentle face and shook his head towards Han Yi and several other Dao realms. Nodding in greeting, the other two had expressionless faces, looking a little indifferent.
Han Yi also paid tribute and walked towards the Demon Witch Mountain ahead.
He had known that the location of the Mountain Master election this time was a special place on the Magic Witch Mountain.
The Witch Tower.
This Witch Tower was moved from another place by the first Mountain Master and placed on the Magic Witch Mountain.
This Witch Tower has nine floors in total. The lower six floors are for the Dao Realm, and the upper three floors are only for the Tianzun Realm.
This time, the Mountain Master Assessment was held on the lower six floors, or more precisely, on the bottom three floors.
In the Magic Witch Mountain, if a Mountain Master dies, the Mountain Masters ranked behind can fill the position in turn. This time, the last nine of the ninety-nine Mountain Masters will be in the election.
According to what Jiang Xiying said before, there are four Dao Fruit Level in this election, and the rest are all Dao Realm First Step, and the number of participants in Dao Realm First Step is as many as more than three hundred.
Those who can achieve Dao Realm, whether in the big world or in the chaos, are not ordinary people. They are all masters of cultivation. Talent, luck, opportunity, and character are indispensable.
Moreover, the Demonic Witch Mountain where they were located was the Demonic Witch of Swords, and the Sword Dao was a killing weapon, and its combat power was one level stronger than other Dao Realms.
And then, these more than 300 Sword Dao Dao Realms had to compete for nine places, and the difficulty was imaginable.
Han Yi went to the place where the Witch Tower was located. On the way, more and more Dao Realms gathered. The Dao Realms gathered for a distance, without talking, and were wary of each other.
The invisible sword intent permeated and collided in the chaos, but it was mainly based on testing, and it was withdrawn as soon as it was touched, and it did not let go.
When he arrived in front of the Demonic Witch Mountain Dao Array, Han Yi took out the purple sword card, and a ray of light appeared on the sword card and fell on the Dao Array. The Dao Array cracked a hole, allowing him to step in alone.
After entering the Dao Array, Han Yi saw a nine-story Witch Tower.
What surprised him was that this Witch Tower did not look very high from the outside, and it looked ordinary.
The height of each floor is about ten meters, and the height of the entire tower is also within a hundred meters.
The color of the tower is dark gray, and its appearance is the most common and ordinary Taoist tower.
At this moment, in the air around this gray tower less than a hundred meters high, there are hundreds of monks standing or sitting cross-legged, or closing their eyes to rest, or looking around.
Han Yi looked at the Taoists in front of the gray tower, and his eyes moved.
Among those Taoists, there was one who was not unfamiliar to him, because he had seen him once in the chaos outside the ancient halo.
He was the third mountain master of the Demon Witch Mountain, the master of the Delusion Mountain. (End of this chapter)
