Chapter 521 Ancient Mine
Fang Yue was shocked when he heard this, frowned and asked: "Another big sacrifice? Is this the big sacrifice required for the promotion of the human grand master, like the promotion of the demon emperor, which requires the sacrifice of a large number of living beings?"
Senior Cang Yu shook his head slightly and said: "Yes, it is no longer possible for humans or monsters to break through the constraints and barriers.
Because this level of restriction is imposed by heaven and earth.
As long as a creature in this world wants to break through this level, it must hold a big sacrifice to please God! "
Fang Yue's face was full of shock and confusion, and he asked eagerly: "Why is this? Why does heaven and earth set such cruel restrictions, and it has to be broken through with a big sacrifice? Is there no other way?"
Senior Cang Yu sighed slightly and said solemnly: "The rules of this world are mysterious and complicated, and they are beyond our ability to fully understand.
But according to ancient legends, this great sacrifice is a kind of reverence and response to the rules of heaven and earth.
When a cultivator reaches the peak of the Grand Master or the edge of the realm of the Demon Emperor, he has touched the ceiling of power in this world. Only by going through a great sacrifice, pleasing God, and obtaining the power of laws sent down by God can he break through! "
Fang Yue frowned when he heard this.
But he immediately put aside the idea of breaking through to the realm above the Grand Master, and instead asked what those ancient demons and the huge demonic energy that permeated the entire demon world were.
Now the demon world is in turmoil, and they want to integrate the power of the entire demon world to attack the human world.
The source of all this is the ancient demon and demonic energy.
Senior Cang Yu's expression became more solemn when he heard Fang Yue's inquiry. He was silent for a moment, seeming to collect his thoughts, and then said slowly:
"The origin of these ancient demons is extremely long. They existed long before our generation. The ancient demons are an evil force born in the darkness of chaos. They enjoy destroying, devouring, and infecting."
"This demonic energy is an external manifestation of the power of the ancient demon. It is like a huge black spider web, spreading silently in every corner of the demon world. Once a living being is contaminated by the demonic energy, his mind will It was gradually eroded and became the puppet of the ancient demon."
Senior Cang Yu's eyes revealed deep worry.
Fang Yue then asked: "Then why did they choose this time to infect the demon world on a large scale, and also intend to provoke a war between the demon world and the human world?"
Senior Cang Yu sighed softly: "The purpose of the ancient demons has always been clear. They want to break the balance of this world and drag everything into chaos and darkness.
The balance of power between the demon world and the human world is crucial to maintaining order in the world. If the demon world and the human world go to war, the strength of both sides will be weakened. This will undoubtedly be a good opportunity for the ancient demon to take advantage of it.
Moreover, the death and chaos brought by war can generate a lot of negative emotions. These negative emotions are like the richest nourishment for the ancient demons, making them even more powerful. "
Fang Yue's heart trembled, and he realized that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond his imagination.
"So how do we stop their plot?
Now people in the demon world are panicking, and all the forces are not completely united. It is really difficult to integrate forces to fight against the ancient demon. "
Senior Cang Yu nodded slightly and said: "It is true, this is not easy. First of all, we need to let the various races in the demon world understand the real threat of the ancient demons, instead of being incited by them and blindly becoming enemies of the human world.
The measures you took before in the cottage to restrain the evil spirit are a good start. This allows more demon clans to see that the ancient demon is not invincible. "
"Secondly, it is crucial to find the core power of the ancient demon. Just like a snake has seven inches, as long as you find the key node of the ancient demon's power and concentrate your efforts to destroy it, you may be able to effectively curb the spread of the evil energy.
However, this comes at a huge cost, and the ancient demons will certainly defend their core with all their might. "
Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, where do you think the core power of this ancient demon is hidden? Is it in a place with the strongest demonic energy, or in some mysterious space that is difficult for us to detect?"
Senior Cang Yu stroked his beard and said slowly: "It may be in those places that have been shrouded in demonic energy for a long time and have formed special areas.
In these areas, the power of ancient demons can be exerted to the greatest extent, and through these areas, they can continuously release demonic energy and control more living beings.
It may also be hidden in some ancient ruins that are closely connected to the power of chaos. Those places contain powerful evil forces, and the ancient demons can use these forces to strengthen themselves. "
Fang Yue nodded slightly and asked: "Senior, if we find the core power of the ancient demon, how can we destroy it?
Presumably the core defense of this ancient demon must be very powerful and cannot be easily broken. "
Senior Cang Yu looked serious and said slowly: "To destroy the core of the ancient demon, ordinary power is far from enough.
This requires the gathering of a variety of powerful forces, and there must also be conflicting strength attributes.
Just like the power of the Sun that you used to restrain the demonic energy before, if you can find a purer and more powerful masculine power, it may be able to cause huge damage to the core of the ancient demon. "
"Furthermore, those magic weapons and artifacts that contain the righteousness of heaven and earth, if their power can be stimulated, will also be the key to destroying the core of the ancient demon. These magic weapons often have unique restrictions and power, and can break through the ancient demon's defense ”
"In addition, you can also use the power of formations. Set up powerful sealing formations or attack formations to trap the core of the ancient demon inside, and then gradually wear away its power.
However, arranging these formations requires a lot of time and rare materials, and requires extremely high formation attainments on the part of those who set up the formations. "
After Fang Yue heard this, he thought about various possible solutions.
"Senior, are there any clues or directions when looking for the power and magic weapons to restrain the ancient demons? And, how can we find the right people to arrange such a powerful formation?"
Senior Cang Yu shook his head. Although he had lived long enough, he was still helpless when facing this problem.
"The clues I know are limited, but in ancient legends, some places blessed by heaven and earth may contain the power to restrain ancient demons.
For example, there is the legendary Holy Mountain, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, and spiritual plants that can drive away evil may grow on the top of the mountain; there is also the spiritual lake blessed by the power of light, and the water of the lake may have the effect of purifying evil energy.
These places are often guarded by auspicious beasts or spiritual beings. If you want to obtain the power within, you need to pass their test. But these are only permanent cures. If you want to cure the symptoms, you can only go to the ancient mine where the demonic energy first appeared. "
When Fang Yue heard the word "ancient mine", his eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Senior, what is the ancient mine you are talking about? Why can going there treat the symptoms?"
Senior Cang Yu said solemnly: "This ancient mine is an ancient and mysterious place. It is said that it existed in ancient times, when the world first opened.
It was one of the first sources of demonic energy, with a strong evil aura.
The power of the ancient demon is connected to the source of darkness deep in the ancient mine, just like the roots of a tree, continuously providing energy for the spread of the demonic energy. "
"If we can go deep into the ancient mines, find the source of darkness and seal or destroy it, it will be like cutting off the foundation of the ancient demon's power, which can curb the growth and spread of demonic energy to a certain extent.
However, there are many dangers in this ancient mine, not only the guardian power of the ancient demon, but also various ancient restrictions and traps.
Moreover, the closer you get to the source of darkness, the more powerful the erosion of the demonic energy becomes, making it difficult for ordinary creatures to withstand it. "
Cang Yu said this, paused, and then continued: "There were rumors in the demon world that in the Taichu ancient mine, there was another way to break through the realm above the demon emperor."
When Fang Yue heard this, a trace of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Senior, you said that there is another way to break through the realm above the Demon Emperor in this Taichu ancient mine. What is going on? Why have you never heard of this before?"
Senior Cang Yu sighed slightly and said solemnly: "This rumor is extremely secret, and only a few people know about it.
It is said that there is a mysterious place in the deepest part of the Taichu ancient mine, which contains a special power that is completely different from the conventional cultivation and promotion methods in this world. "
“That mysterious place is said to have been formed when the heaven and earth first opened, and it gathered some of the original energy from the beginning of chaos.
If we could find and understand this primitive energy, we might be able to bypass the limitations of heaven and earth that require a great sacrifice to break through, and open up a new path to advancement. "
Fang Yue frowned, thinking about the possibility: "But if that's the case, why have few people tried to break through this road since ancient times? Is it because the ancient mine is too dangerous to reach that mysterious place, or is it because Is there any other reason?"
Senior Cang Yu nodded slowly and said: "What you guessed is not unreasonable. This Taichu ancient mine is extremely dangerous. The guardian power of the ancient demon, various ancient restrictions and traps are all huge obstacles. If you want to Going deep into the deepest mysterious place is as difficult as climbing to the sky.”
“Moreover, even if someone is lucky enough to get there, the raw energy is not easily understood and controlled.
It is extremely mysterious and violent, completely different from the energy we are exposed to on a daily basis.
If you don't have a strong enough soul power and a deep understanding of the way of cultivation, and you come into contact rashly, you will probably be swallowed up by that energy in an instant, and you will end up in a state of disarray. "
Fang Yue nodded slightly, becoming more and more curious about this Taichu ancient mine, and at the same time he was also well aware of the dangers involved.
"Senior, are there any more clues or characteristics about this mysterious place and its original energy? For example, where is it located in the ancient mine, or is there any special sign?"
Senior Cang Yu stroked his beard, thought for a moment and then said: "As for the specific location, it is really difficult to pinpoint it clearly.
I only heard that the space around that mysterious place will show a strange distortion phenomenon, as if time and space have become confused there.
Moreover, it is said that there will be a vague ancient breath permeating the surroundings. That breath is different from the evil breath of the ancient demon, but has a kind of simplicity and mystery that comes from the beginning of chaos. "
"As for the special signs, there are legends that when approaching that mysterious place, you will see some shimmering ancient runes. These runes seem to contain some kind of truth, but the specific meaning is unknown. Can be solved.
Perhaps, if these runes can be deciphered, we can more accurately find the mysterious place and the key to mastering the original energy. "
Fang Yue kept this information in mind one by one. He knew that this might be an opportunity to change the fate of the entire demon world and even the human world, but it was also a dangerous road full of thorns.
"Senior, thank you for telling me this. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I want to give it a try. If I can really find this breakthrough path, maybe I can break the situation that is exploited by the ancient demons and restore the peace and balance between the demon world and the human world."
Senior Cangyu looked at Fang Yue, his eyes full of expectations and worries: "Child, your courage is commendable, but you must act with caution.
For this trip to the Taichu Ancient Mine, you must be fully prepared and must not be reckless.
If you encounter dangers that you cannot deal with on the way, do not be stubborn, and it is the best policy to retreat in time."
Fang Yue saluted respectfully and said: "Junior will follow the teachings of the senior. I will go back and prepare, and then immediately set off for the Taichu Ancient Mine to explore this breakthrough path and ways to contain the demonic energy."
After bidding farewell to Senior Cangyu, Fang Yue left this valley with full of expectations and solemnity, and headed towards the place where the demonic energy was most seriously infected.
Fang Yue rushed all the way, and all he saw along the way was the miserable situation after being eroded by the demonic energy.
The originally vibrant forest now has withered trees, and the branches and leaves have all been dyed into a strange black color, as if all the vitality has been sucked away.
The flowers and plants on the ground have also withered and shriveled, emitting a foul smell.
Occasionally, some low-level monsters that have been affected by the demonic energy and gone mad can be seen. Their eyes are dull, and they keep roaring in a low voice. When they see Fang Yue approaching, they rush over regardless of everything.
Fang Yue has no choice but to fight them back or kill them, and his hatred for the ancient demon has increased a bit.
As he goes deeper, the demonic energy becomes more and more dense, and the sky is dyed dark, as if a heavy black curtain is covering the earth.
Fang Yue has to use his spiritual power to form a light shield around him to resist the demonic energy that keeps invading.
Finally, Fang Yue came to a place that seems to be the entrance of the ancient mine.
The demonic energy here rolls and surges like a substance, and you can faintly hear bursts of dull roars coming from underground, as if some huge monster is lurking in the depths.
Fang Yue stopped and looked around carefully. The ground was covered with black lines, which emitted a faint light, as if they were some kind of ancient restriction.
On the mountain wall not far away, there was a huge black hole, and magic energy was constantly gushing out of the hole. The strong suction made Fang Yue feel a little unstable.
"This should be the entrance to the ancient mine, but the restriction and suction are so strong that it may not be easy to get in." Fang Yue thought to himself.
He tried to take a step forward. As soon as he stepped into the area covered with black lines, the surrounding magic energy rolled violently, as if it had sensed the invasion of outsiders. (End of this chapter)
