Chapter 278 The Truth!
Inside the cave, Shen Lian, who was screaming, quickly restrained his evil appearance. He was determined to be a good boy of heaven and earth, so how could he be so boastful.
More than a month ago, the puppet Meishan Old Demon finally succeeded in coming out of the mountain after his hard work.
Meishan Old Demon should have had the strength of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul when he was alive, but he had been dead for too long, and his body functions had declined greatly.
Even though Shen Lian had used many means, the strength of the old demon after becoming a puppet was reduced by a small level, leaving only the strength of the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
In addition to the use of the spirit puppet attachment technique, plus a series of measures, the puppet aura on the old demon was also covered up. As long as he did not encounter a particularly tricky late stage of the Nascent Soul, it was almost impossible to be recognized.
In short, no matter how you look at it, it is a living ancestor of the human race.
Because he had been dead for too long, Shen Lian did not know the spells that Meishan Old Demon was proficient in when he was alive, and only restored four of them after his sacrifice.
The first magical power, the Blood Miasma Sky Net, which is based on the natal spiritual treasure Meishanjian, is a large-scale corrosion spell formed by the sacrifice of the blood of living beings, which can pollute the spells and spiritual treasures of monks.
The second is also based on Meishanjian, the Demon Tooth Skull Seal.
The third is a Blood Shadow Magic Shield, which is a defensive spell formed by the dual attributes of earth and gold and the fusion of blood.
The last one is a running spell called Ten Thousand Demons Without Trace.
As for the soul-type spells, there are none.
The old demon is dead and can't die anymore. If he left behind a soul-type spell, Shen Lian would be shocked.
"It's just that the distance is a little short."
Shen Lian touched his chin and thought.
Even if he was blessed by the Soul Condensation into Silk Method and had a secondary soul as a transfer, the distance between the main body and the old demon puppet was only two thousand miles.
It's not that it can't be extended further, but it's not so easy to control beyond two thousand miles.
However, the range of two thousand miles is large enough.
In addition, in order to ensure the combat power of the old demon puppet, Shen Lian also arranged a puppet formation core composed of top-grade spirit stones in its body.
…
"Hehe, Dahei is gone."
"Follow the master to clean up the world!"
After a short while, Shen Lian grabbed Dahei and disappeared in the cave.
"Hehe."
Dahei imitated Shen Lian's previous weird cry and shook his two big pincers with great pride.
…
"Master, didn't you say you wanted to pacify the world?"
After a long while, Dahei looked up at Shen Lian, who was in the cave in the warehouse and took out the five elements spirit objects to prepare for cultivation, and showed a glimmer of hope.
Since it left the wilderness with its master, it has been following its master to pamper the mother ant, keeping watch, keeping watch, and keeping watch.
It is a great third-level big black demon king, and has never fought with anyone. Thinking about it, I am quite looking forward to it.
The master's heroic look just now, isn't he going to do a big fight?
But why...
"Go away, go play by yourself."
Shen Lian grabbed Dahei's big black horn, turned Dahei's head in a direction, and then kicked Dahei's butt and kicked him out.
It was indeed going to be a big fight, but it was not him, but the fourth-level old demon Meishan.
After taking out the spiritual objects from the warehouse cave, Shen Lian went directly into the Bu Tianzhu, and the Bu Tianzhu was carried by the deputy soul.
The deputy soul needs to control the fourth-level old demon outside, so he, the original body, can only temporarily take over the post of Bu Tian customer service.
Fortunately, there are not many church members now, and there are not many problems, which does not delay his cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged in the Bu Tianzhu cave, Shen Lian placed five kinds of five-element spiritual objects in front of him.
These five spiritual objects were used to improve the natal spirit puppet before, but the actual consumption was not much, not even one-tenth.
He estimated that the remaining ones were almost enough for him to condense the yin and yang energy.
However, this condensation process is very boring and long, and requires great patience.
…
[Calm down, enlightenment points +3]
[Calm down, enlightenment points +2]
[Calm down, enlightenment points +3]
…
Half a month later, Shen Lian woke up from his practice, and the colorful spiritual light on his body was condensed into his body like mist.
He had noticed the problem of his spiritual enlightenment points decreasing before, but now he has not gained any after resting for half a month.
What went wrong?
Shen Lian asked himself that his state of mind was already quite stable, and he had a backup plan for everything, and the vest was constantly attached to his face.
It was a bit inexplicable.
After thinking for a long time without getting the point, he suppressed the confusion in his heart and began to absorb the five elements of spiritual energy again.
…
Thousands of miles away.
In a small valley stained with blood.
Meishan Old Demon shook the Zunhun Banner in his hand, and the valley suddenly became cold and windy, turning into a scene of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
A series of broken blood-colored light and shadows were attracted by the Zunhun Banner and swooped in.
Inside the Honored Soul Banner, a row of merit cave stones were embedded, and a space area was opened up inside to serve as an area for carrying residual souls.
Although there is no method of transcendence at present, Shen Lian is ready to collect it first.
When he reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, he may be able to find it easily.
On the dark face of the Meishan Old Demon, his eyeballs were like a dark pool of water, and the pupils could not be seen.
Chaotic sect area.
In the past few years, the melee has become more and more intense, and the fighting between the major sects has been more and more intense.
As the most powerful sect in the region, the Qianlian Sect has repeatedly issued edicts to the major sects to restrain themselves, and even issued an edict that whoever is slaughtering the mortal world will be punished by all sects.
But this is useless.
On the contrary, the major demon sects played more vigorously.
The secular world in this area is similar to a separatist force, and each sect has one or more secular countries under its jurisdiction.
Of course, some of these areas are called dynasties, while others are called certain cities, certain plains, mountains, etc.
These are just names, and they are not important.
The sect is the protector of these secular countries, but if the sect is destroyed, the secular world under its jurisdiction will naturally be doomed.
As for other regions, the custom that cultivators fight only between cultivators and that the secular world is not invaded has long been broken here.
Here, the secular world and the sect are integrated.
…
The Meishan old demon flew in front.
Shen Lian's deputy soul chased behind.
Shen Lian was practicing peacefully in the Bu Tianzhu.
Along the way, when encountering a blood-stained land, the old demon stopped to collect the residual soul.
If he met an ignorant demon cultivator, he would send him on his way in advance.
But there are too many residual souls on the earth. In just half a month, the cave has collected millions of them.
In addition, in addition to collecting residual souls, the deputy soul behind the old demon thousands of miles away is also responsible for finding new Bu Tian sect members.
Originally, the appearance of a Sanlin Temple in this chaotic area surprised Shen Lian, so he wanted to see if there were other Taoists.
But... after all, he thought too much.
Trying to find goldfish from rotten fish is really a stinky thing.
An old demon shuttled back and forth in the area, and the news could not be concealed at all, and soon attracted the attention of many sects.
Qianlian Sect.
As the most powerful sect in the area, it occupied a mountain range of thousands of miles as the sect's headquarters.
The entire mountain range is black, and the trees growing there are also black.
Deep in the mountain range is a basin of a hundred miles surrounded by high mountains on all sides, and the sky is shrouded in thick restrictions.
On the high mountains around the basin, there are also high towers as warnings, and there is a breath of golden elixir perfection in each tower.
Combined with the dense restrictions, it can be said that even if a Yuanying cultivator breaks in by force, he will not end up well.
In the basin under the spiritual ban, countless spiritual bans are also flashing, and sometimes the spiritual bans will flash brilliant spiritual light, like sparks.
On the ground, demon-suppressing monuments with ferocious demon king divine patterns stand one after another.
Between the demon-suppressing monuments, the wandering Yin Qi forms ferocious evil beasts, and sometimes they try to attack the demon-suppressing monuments.
The evil beasts look terrifying, bloated, and covered with different faces on their bodies.
Unfortunately, after the ghost-faced evil beasts are formed, they will be smashed by the demon-suppressing monuments.
Deep below the basin, there is an extremely large blood lake, on which spiritual bans are rolling like a whirlpool.
Countless blood bats hang upside down on the rock wall, their wings tightly hugging their bodies, and strands of blood and energy penetrate into the blood bats’ bodies.
In the middle of the blood bats, there was a huge blood bat. Even with its wings wrapped around it, it was more than ten feet long. There were golden dark patterns on its body, and it exuded a deep breath.
The vortex of spiritual prohibition in the blood lake below was affected by this blood bat.
There was another cave below the blood lake.
On the top of the cave, the spiritual prohibition flickered, and pure blood formed blood beads on the rock wall above, which staggered and dripped down.
In the dark room at the edge of the cave, the spirit gathering array was slowly running. On a cushion woven with fourth-level moon spirit grass, a young man who looked only in his twenties was sitting cross-legged.
After an incense stick, the immersed young man stretched out his palm and grabbed the area in the center of the cave.
He grabbed a drop of pure blood bead, and then took out a jade bottle and put it in it.
In the jade bottle, the gathered blood had submerged the bottom of the bottle, and the amount was not too much.
The essence of flesh and blood that can help Yuanying cultivators practice is very difficult to extract. It requires hundreds of processes and the assistance of blood bats to extract it.
But no matter how cumbersome it is, it is easier to obtain than spiritual medicine.
"Master, the cultivators below reported that a Yuanying demon cultivator was found active in the area."
The young cultivator frowned and said, "What did he do?"
"He just killed a few low-level disciples. As for what he did, the disciples below are too weak to find out clearly. However, this demon did not massacre mortals and cultivators on a large scale."
Every time the harvest of flesh and blood essence is opened, cultivators from other areas will come, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and there are also large-scale slaughters of mortal creatures for blood sacrifice.
They will not be polite to such demon cultivators who fish in troubled waters.
This area is all their crops. How can they allow others to harvest them after they have finally matured?
The leader of Qianlian Sect thought for a moment, "Take my jade token to find him... Never mind, the sect will go there in person, and you stay here to collect the essence of flesh and blood."
This time, in order to make friends with the exiled immortal envoy of the Exiled Immortal Tower, the sect started a harvest in advance, just to heal his wounds.
Nowadays, the internal situation of the Tiannan Xiuxian world has long been solidified, and the resources have long been divided. Since there are no resources inside, we can only look outside.
The Exiled Immortal Tower is a force that spreads throughout the major Xiuxian worlds, even if the exiled immortal envoy is just a small Yuanying early stage, it is worth making friends.
Of course, as one of the seven major sects in the Tiannan Xiuxian world, Luosha Valley is not so superficial. What a small exiled immortal envoy needs is just a matter of moving his hands, and it is done by the way.
They have many plans, and the exiled angel is just one of them. Now they are casting a wide net, and maybe one of them will be of great help to the sect.
…
Singing Bird City.
The old demon Meishan rolled up the demonic energy and flew over the top of the city. Just as he was about to get up and leave, a voice rang in his ears.
“So fellow Daoist is gathering the residual soul.”
The old demon Meishan stood still, his eyes fixed on the young cultivator coming from afar.
“How did fellow Daoist block my way?”
The young cultivator was naturally the master of Qianlian Sect. He looked up and down at Meishan, and did not change because of the strange smell on Meishan.
The physique of the cultivator can change at will. As for the decay and poison on Meishan, it is obvious that he likes to dress like this.
“I should be the one to ask this question.”
After the master of Qianlian Sect finished looking at him, he asked, “Which demon mountain did fellow Daoist practice before? Don’t you know that you have crossed the line?”
“What is the honorific title of fellow Daoist?”
Meishan pretended to look at the master of Qianlian Sect.
"Qianlian Sect."
"So you are the leader of Qianlian Sect."
Meishan laughed strangely, "I just gathered some residual souls to practice a spell, and killed a few ignorant little demon cultivators. Are you here to bring bad luck to me?"
"What is your honorific title?"
The leader of Qianlian Sect asked.
"Meishan."
"Even if you are a casual cultivator, you should know which sect this area belongs to. You have crossed the line."
What kind of words are these? Qianlian Sect really thinks it is the big shot.
Meishan bared his teeth and blew out a green gas from his mouth.
"Fellow Daoist, are you really looking for trouble with me?"
The leader of Qianlian Sect frowned, "Are you not a demon cultivator from the Central Continent?"
"Why, bullying demons from other places?"
"Fellow Daoist, my Qianlian Sect is nothing, but this is the sphere of influence of Luosha Valley. Our sect advises you to think twice, lest you can't leave this area."
"Using the master behind you to pressure me?"
"What our sect said is the truth." The leader of Qianlian Sect said lightly, "All sects have orders to guard their territories. They can deal with foreign cultivators who trespass into their respective territories at will."
Meishan frowned.
"Tell me more."
Before, Shen Lian also suspected that Luosha Valley had divided so many small Jindan sects, and harvested lives in this area, harvesting cultivators and mortals like crops, why could it proceed so smoothly.
It seems that the vast land of the entire Tiannan Central Continent has been privately divided by various sects.
This chaotic area is an extra resource area that Luosha Sect has been allocated in addition to its own territory.
In this area, Luosha Sect does not care how other sects play.
The other major sects have their own ways of playing in their respective territories, and everyone has their own unique tricks and does not interfere with each other.
This is outrageous.
When resources are gone, living creatures will come to make up for it.
This is no different from the physical cultivation in the Middle Ages.
It's boring, let's restart.
