Chapter 379 The Ancient Demon Appears
After the elders of Tianhe Sect settled down in Lingyun Sect, four months passed in a flash.
During this period, the situation in the Qingling Domain's cultivation world unexpectedly calmed down, and no more waves arose.
The reaction of Shangqing Sect was also very peaceful. It did not make any move against Lingyun Sect, but instead invested all its energy in digesting the gains from the war.
Of course, Lingyun Sect would never be careless about this. They understood that this was just the last calm before the storm.
How could Shangqing Sect, whose strength suddenly grew a lot, sit idly by and watch Lingyun Sect?
They were just waiting, waiting for the best time to take action.
For this reason, the top leaders of Lingyun Sect were also scratching their heads, including the head of Xuyun Sect, who were very worried about this.
"If you ask me, it's better to solve the trouble of Shangqing Sect before the Chi Demon Clan in the Demon Cave comes out completely!"
"Yes, I think so too. Shangqing Sect, which has just experienced a great war, is now just a show. Their ancestors must still be in a weak state."
"Attack him while he is weak!"
In the secret meeting hall, the elders of the Fu Hall and the Zhen Hall were very radical and had an attitude of persuading war.
As soon as these words came out, the face of the purple-robed old man sitting at the top became twisted again, full of melancholy.
"No, no, I think you want to tire me to death!"
"Now that Senior Brother Tuntian has not returned yet, it is too reckless to rashly start a war against Shangqing Sect!"
The ancestor Bingyun, who was sitting next to him, also nodded slightly: "Well, it is difficult for me and Ziqing to do anything to those Jindan Zhenren in Shangqing Sect."
"What's more, Shangqing Sect has a third-level monster guarding the sect, the mountain-carrying turtle! This turtle is probably at least a thousand years old, and its strength is unfathomable."
The two Jindan ancestors said so, and the pro-war faction also restrained itself a little, no longer looking aggressive.
But the head of Xuyun sighed lightly:
"The elders who went to the forbidden snow mountain a few days ago have also returned. The situation is not optimistic. The demonic energy around the top of the snow mountain has become more concentrated."
Everyone knows what this means.
Even the demonic energy outside the secret realm is so dense, so the situation in the Cold Wind Secret Realm is even more so. Perhaps it has become the outer layer of the Demon Cave.
I think the gap in the extremely icy magic array should be more seriously damaged.
The meeting hall fell into a dead silence, and everyone had a very solemn expression on their faces.
"Previously, the gap in the seal array could be passed through by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage. Now I'm afraid that even cultivators in the Linking Pill stage can pass through!"
"The only good news now is that we have the fragments of the Water Spirit Pearl. If Uncle Tiantian can invite a Yuanying stage cultivator from outside the domain to help, the odds of this battle will definitely be great!"
Yuanying stage cultivator!
This is definitely a powerful person who is admired by the mountains. It has been unknown how many years since the Qingling Domain has seen a cultivator of this realm.
Although this is exciting enough, everyone also understands that such a cultivator is not easy to invite.
Even if it is to find one, it is quite difficult.
"At present, what we can do is to beware of Shangqing Sect and the Demon Cave. We must not act rashly before Uncle Tuntian returns."
In Li Qing's cave at Huangyun Peak.
In the past four months, he has been free for a rare time, but Li Qing has no intention of taking more rest. Instead, he has been strengthening his strength.
Boom!
A majestic blood and qi escaped, and all the layers of old skin and blood scabs on Li Qing's body were shaken off.
At the cost of ten years of life, his physical body finally entered the second stage at this moment!
"Ten years of life is not bad." Li Qing panted, and then casually performed a few water purification spells to clean up the dirt and dandruff on his body.
"But it's just the second stage of practice that is so fierce, what will it be like when it reaches the third stage?"
Li Qing muttered to himself, and he silently calculated in his mind.
In order to practice this body-refining secret technique, he lost a total of eighty years of his life!
This is almost equivalent to the life of a long-lived mortal, and the price is simply terrible.
Of course, the gains are not small. Now with a body comparable to the second-stage late-stage demon beast, he will be hard to find an opponent among the cultivators in the foundation-building period.
With this thought in mind, Li Qing exerted a little force, and a strong energy burst out from his palms and fingers.
It is no exaggeration to say that his current body even gave him the confidence to tear up the best magic weapon with his hands.
Of course, at this stage, he did not have any extra best magic weapons to try. The Tianluo Banner was very useful, and he was definitely reluctant to tear it up with his hands.
Then, a piece of talisman paper with a golden long knife appeared in Li Qing's hand.
But soon he laughed at himself and took back the golden knife talisman.
It was a bit of a joke to resist the power of the talisman with the flesh, even if he was not sure about it now.
"Next, it's time to step up the improvement of my cultivation!" Li Qing sighed, without any thought of relaxing, and directly sat cross-legged to practice "Red Brilliant Heaven Burning Art".
With the assistance of the Netherworld Cold Fire, his cultivation speed finally became much more impressive, no longer as slow as before.
Time flies by, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Qing couldn't help but immerse himself in these quiet days of practice, feeling his cultivation increase bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Qing, who was used to practicing hard in seclusion for several years without making much progress, even became addicted to the feeling of rapid improvement in cultivation.
He couldn't help but sigh, how wonderful it would be if the days to come could be like this.
Unfortunately, things in the world often don't go as planned.
In the Forbidden Snow Mountain, a stream of demonic energy almost penetrated the sky in a spurt!
Boom!
The white clouds that were floating leisurely in the blue sky were instantly soaked in the rich demonic energy and turned into an inky black color, which was darker than any dark clouds.
Not only that, the entire sky around the snow-capped mountains is slowly turning dark, like a jar of ink poured into a basin of clear water.
Lingyun Sect, who was in the snowfield, immediately felt the strangeness of the aura between heaven and earth.
On Yunxiao Island, Master Xuyun's face was extremely solemn. He looked towards the snow-capped mountains. He looked at the small patch of dark sky in the distance and murmured to himself:
"Is the Chi Demon Clan finally about to be born? The Lingyun Sect's biggest disaster in thousands of years has arrived."
On the main peak of a towering Lingshan Mountain in Lingyun Sect, the spiritual energy here is extremely rich, the surroundings are lush and green, and purple energy rises from time to time.
An old man in purple robe walked out of his cave with a helpless expression.
"Oh, it's really hard to calm down. I just fought against the Master Jiedan of the Shangqing Sect, and now I have to fight against the Ancient Demon again."
"The most terrible thing is that we may have to deal with strong men on both sides at the same time!"
Master Ziqing's face was extremely depressed, even lifeless.
The main peak of the other Lingshan Mountain in the sect has the same rich spiritual energy.
It's just that this place seems to be unaffected by the sect's formation. It's surrounded by piles of snow and ice crystals, and the chill is spreading in all directions.
In a cave at the top of the mountain, the voice of Ancestor Bingyun also sounded a little sad.
"The sect's great calamity is coming to Ning Bing. You must be prepared. When it comes to life and death, use the Sky Breaking Talisman I gave you."
"Master." Shen Ningbing's cold voice also echoed in the cave.
"Don't say any more. Faced with this calamity, no one dares to say that they can get through it alive, not even me."
"You have to live. Living is all hope, do you understand?"
At this point, the voice became silent.
Only a few people can sense the sound of the sealing circle being broken.
But Li Qing, who was meditating hard in Huangyun Peak, noticed the abnormal trembling of the cold fire of the netherworld in his body.
"Hey, what's going on? Why is the spirit fire so restless?"
Li Qing frowned suspiciously, and a feeling of uneasiness quickly emerged in his heart.
He ended his practice and slowly walked out of his cave.
Before he could confirm what had happened, a disciple hurriedly flew over. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he had obviously been busy for a long time.
"Elder Li! This is a jade slip sent by the head brother. It contains the ancient demon language and some information about the ancient demon clan. It seems to have been extracted by the ancestor of Tiantian!"
Hearing this, Li Qing was slightly startled, and then took the jade slip.
"I know, thank you for your hard work." Li Qing nodded.
"It's okay, this is all my responsibility. Now that the ancient demon clan is about to be born, we can only do this small part."
"But Elder Li, you have always been a role model and role model among our disciples. Next, please lead the sect to victory!"
With that said, the disciple resigned and flew to the caves of the other elders to deliver the jade slips.
Watching the young disciple go away, Li Qing looked towards the direction of the Forbidden Snow Mountain, and then his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was stunned by the scene there.
At the edge of the sky, a thick cloud of demonic energy was spreading. He had excellent eyesight and saw this scene clearly.
"Are you coming?"
Li Qing squeezed the jade slip in his hand tightly, and finally understood where the uneasy feeling just now came from.
It turns out that the ancient demon clan was born!
Without hesitation, Li Qing directly absorbed all the information recorded in this jade slip into his mind with his spiritual consciousness.
After a while, a large amount of information related to the Chi Demon Clan appeared in his sea of consciousness.
"It turns out that the ancient demon suppressed in the Forbidden Snow Mountain is called the Chi Demon Clan. Also, is this the Ancient Demon Language, the common language of the demon clan?"
