Chapter 256: Dungeon
The lowest level of the dungeon is the most vast and densely populated, and the biggest difference from the surface world is that more than ninety percent of the people in the dungeon are cultivators.
For thousands of years, none of the original inhabitants of the dungeon had ever reached the surface, and it was a law set by the lord of the city, and it was strictly enforced.
The city lord's surname is Jiang, and his single name is a Hong character. The surname Jiang was originally the oldest and most noble surname in the Chongyang Continent.
Tens of thousands of years ago, this Jiang family established a sect in the Chongyang Continent: the Supreme Spirit Sect, at its peak, it was definitely a powerful empire that could be proud of the world.
It's just that the times have changed, thousands of years ago, Jiang Hong's father, who was sanctified by the realm of magic cultivation, stepped into the only gate of time and space on this continent and went to another unknown world.
So, of course, the position of the suzerain fell on the head of Jiang Hong, who was the eldest son, in fact, Jiang Hong was not a mediocre person, but countless hidden dangers left by the previous generation, taking advantage of the departure of the old sect master, suddenly magnified and exploded.
Some big sects have long been unwilling to bow down to the Supreme Spirit Sect, and they have long had the intention of rebellion, but they are forced to cover up the grievances that have been suppressed and pressed, and continue to laugh at the extremely powerful Supreme Spirit Sect.
The long-suppressed emotional outburst is the most enjoyable, and the consequences will be ignored.
As soon as Jiang Hong sat on the position of sect master, several sects united to fight for the rights that were originally controlled by the Supreme Spirit Sect.
Jiang Hong just had the idea of launching a force to conquer, but to his surprise, more sects also united with countless sects and directly launched an attack on the Supreme Spirit Sect.
One after another, calamities that made him unbelievable followed, and some of the people who sought the Spirit Sect were close friends of the Jiang family, some were relatives of the Jiang family's clan, and even Jiang Hong's brothers and sisters joined the team of the Soul Sect to destroy it.
It was a devastating battle that lasted for nearly a decade.
If Jiang Hong was an incompetent person, this war would not have lasted so long, he eliminated the sects that participated in it first, and also destroyed the rebellious clan relatives, and killed not a single brother and sister.
But if one sect is destroyed, more sects will join, and hostile armies will continue to pour towards the Spirit Sect.
The originally powerful empire was constantly consumed in the advance and retreat again and again, and almost one-tenth of the manpower and material resources of the Spirit Sect were consumed in every year's battles.
In the past ten years, there are hundreds of millions of disciples, and there are less than 10 million left, if they continue to destroy more of those hate-filled sects, they will completely wipe out the Supreme Spirit Sect from this world in a very short period of time.
Jiang Hong knew that they would treat the remaining people with the most cruel means.
So he no longer had illusions, and resolutely took his wife and children and the remaining remnants of the defeated army, took the lead, broke through the encirclement, and fled towards the Zongyun Mountain Range.
Escaping to the Clouds Range, and then hiding underground, was the retreat he had prepared years ago.
Fleeing from life and death is the easiest time for people to stimulate their potential, and the same is true for chasing fugitives by victory, nearly 10 million disciples of the Spirit Sect were killed and wounded, and Jiang Hong, who was charging forward, was also scarred by countless resistances, and finally collapsed, dying.
Fortunately, his wife did not leave him, and from the dense enemy siege, she took him and millions of people to the Longitudinal Cloud Mountains, and escaped into the ground.
The persevering pursuers chased and killed thousands of miles underground, and finally had to give up due to the obstacles of various formations.
So this group of people who escaped the catastrophe of extinction, from
This carries not very good historical memories, and it has been living underground for thousands of years.
There is no shortage of cultivation resources underground, to be precise, if compared to the ground, it can even be regarded as rich.
There are more than 4 million people who have gone deep into the ground together, and at the beginning, because of the multiplication, they continued to go deep into the ground, and they continued to explore for thousands of years, so they created an underground world with many layers.
Until now, the distance from the bottom to the ground has reached more than 100,000 kilometers.
It turned out that Jiang Hong, the sect leader of the Supreme Spirit Sect, lived at the bottom, which was also the most extensive level.
Now that the Spirit Sect no longer exists, since they have come to the underground world, they have given this place a very apt and direct title: Dungeon.
The original suzerain also changed his title and was called City Lord.
When Jiang Hong broke through that time, he was extremely seriously injured, all the bones in his body were shattered, and all kinds of magical flames scorched him beyond recognition, and none of his skin was spared.
Fortunately, his magic cultivation was extremely high, and the damage to the Yuan Soul Bead in his body was not very serious, and under the careful treatment of his wife and the elders, he was forced to snatch him back from the hands of death.
From then on, hatred made him live stronger than anyone else, until a thousand years ago, he found that his cultivation realm suddenly stagnated at the moment before entering the Holy Age, and it would be a permanent result.
It's like a person who sees the wonderful outside world through a window, but no matter how hard he tries, he won't be able to fit in.
So the more wonderful it was outside, the more painful and endless torture he became, and he had to finally come to his senses, and he closed the window.
Jiang Hong began to become calmer, and his heart gradually became gentle, since the cultivation realm could no longer be broken through, he began to cultivate various magic scrolls.
The once extremely powerful Supreme Spirit Sect had collected endless magic books, and when he abandoned the sect, he, as the sect master, collected all of them into his own storage jade.
Some scrolls have been forbidden to practice by generations of sect masters, but since the sect no longer exists, and he is a hopeless cultivator, those prohibitions have no ability to restrain him.
Most of the contents of these scrolls were evil witchcraft, which undoubtedly opened up a whole new world of magic for him, and he was so addicted to them that he forgot even the wife who loved him so much.
His wife was not at ease to live underground forever, and the reason why she was able to tolerate it for a long time was because she always believed that she and her children would one day walk on the surface, and they would go out in great beauty.
Jiang Hong calmed down, but his original hatred and hope converged on his wife.
Day after day, year after year, Madame Jiang's hatred and hope gradually faded and shattered, but another emotion took over her body and mind: despair!
One night nearly thirty years ago, her desperation finally overcame what little sanity she had left, and she summoned several of her sons and killed them all.
In the midst of wild laughter, she burned the corpses of her sons to ashes, and then spontaneously ignited a magical flame, which also turned into dust in the laughter.
Mrs. Jiang ended her pain in this way, thinking that her child was living underground and suffering as much as her.
It was an extremely terrifying and miserable night, at least for Jiang Hong, there was one more miserable person than him, and that was his daughter, Jiang Yan.
She escaped, not because of it
Mrs. Jiang is soft-hearted, but she, a heartless daughter, ignores her mother's call.
But the psychological trauma caused to her by the death of her mother and brother is self-evident.
That was the day when Jiang Hong's hatred burned again, and this hatred was counted by him above the surface in the final analysis.
He taught the witchcraft he had learned to the disciples of the dungeon, and within a few months, the invisible magic power burst out of the ground, and the various corpse remains that were touched were immediately given a new perception.
The most important thing in the Zongyun Mountain Range is the corpse wreckage, countless cultivators in countless years, come to this boundless demonic beast forest to cultivate, hunt countless demonic beasts, and also kill countless cultivators by demonic beasts.
Millions of evil spirits were born, and the first evil spirit army chaos occurred.
The Evil Spirit Legion will eventually be wiped out by the cultivators on the surface, this Jiang Hong is clear, he doesn't mind this, but he summed it up.
There was no end to the corpses in the Cloud Mountains that he could summon as evil spirits, and with patience, he could tear the world above to shreds.
In an incomparably large hall, a man in a white mask sat a little stiffly on a high platform, he was wearing a dark purple robe.
The mask was delicate, squirming all the time, slowly changing expressions of joy, anger and sorrow.
At this moment, a woman in a yellow shirt and white dress stepped quickly onto the high platform, moved a gauntlet made of metal, and sat opposite the masked man.
Her face is incomparably delicate, with crystal moist skin, delicate red lips, a straight nose, and the contours of her eyebrows are like the misty green mountains and clear waters in the early morning.
The shoulders are like knives, the chest is straight, and the soft waist is slender.
"I know you're going to make trouble again, and I won't say yes. The man's voice was hoarse.
"Dad, I want to personally control the evil spirits to fight, and I hope that those people in the Xuanling Sect will kill people in a hurry. ”
The man sitting on the throne was Jiang Hong, and sitting across from him so casually was his daughter Jiang Yan.
"Do you want to learn from your mother and want me to cut off my children and grandchildren?" Jiang Hong was angry with his daughter.
But his daughter Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows and replied loudly, "What are you yelling at, I'm not my mother, she doesn't like to stay in the dungeon, I have always liked to live here, and I don't want to live on it at all." ”
"Then you can stay at home with peace of mind, cultivate well, and don't worry about other things. ”
"Don't think that you are the only one who has the pain of losing his wife and children, I also have the hatred of losing my mother and brother, I hate you, I hate my mother, and I hate those people on the earth. ”
Jiang Hong shuddered in his heart when he heard this, his daughter's words and expression when she spoke were similar to when his wife was angry with him before her death.
He suddenly softened his anger and said softly: "Yan'er, my Yan'er, don't talk to me like this......." His voice was choked up.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll be fine, I said, I'm not my mother, I just want to go out and break through, in order to relieve hatred, but also take the opportunity to experience. ”
"Hey, go, go, I promise you that I will let Protector Song accompany you. ”
Jiang Yan's heart was sour, and she said gently: "Dad, you are happy, I am not not going to come back." ”
"You have to promise your father that it's dangerous out there, it's dangerous, it's countless times more dangerous than the dungeon...... After you go out, don't be capricious, you must listen to Song Protector's arrangement. ”
