Episode 5 Chapter 12 Another Year of Wax Moon
In the days that followed, Meng Chuan still went to the Thousand Swords Cave every morning to practice his sword, and Liu Qiyue also increased his cultivation time in the 'Earth Fire Magma Pool'.
In the afternoon, Meng Chuan was painting, and Liu Qiyue watched from the side and learned to write.
For July, it is too difficult to draw, but it is easy to write calligraphy. Every time the two looked up and saw each other, their eyes met, and they just smiled.
After that, the two will compete with each other at the summit of Jingming Peak.
After a while, Liu Qiyue shot an arrow, and Meng Chuan resisted. For a while, Meng Chuan chased Liu Qiyue in close quarters, and Liu Qiyue fled in a hurry.
The two of them went in and out of pairs, and there was no way to hide it.
At the Taoist meeting, when they were preaching in Dongtian Pavilion, they were much more intimate, so that many male gods and demons who wanted to pursue Liu Qiyue, as well as some female gods and demons who were a little attracted to Meng Chuan, could only sigh helplessly.
......
Autumn goes to winter, from the yellowing of the leaves to the heavy snow, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue live their own small lives like this.
The night refining medicinal bath was carried out every day for more than two hours, as if he was tormented in hell day by day, and he was mentally exhausted. But every time after surviving, there was rice porridge boiled in July, which made Meng Chuan more determined to resist the pain and torture.
"Fifteen days...... Thirty days...... Fifty days...... Eighty days ......" Meng Chuan was anxious about the days of the eighth refining, and every time he survived the pain and torture, he had a sense of accomplishment, it was close, it was close, it was close, it was close to the completion of the eighth refining.
Finally, the one hundred and twentieth day came.
This is the last day of the Eight Refinements, and coincidentally, this day is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day when the new disciples get started.
Yuan Chu Mountain, Chonghuang Peak, Red Blood Cliff.
The introductory ceremony is underway.
“...... These images are a total of fifteen thousand two hundred and eighty-three gods and demons......" The Yuan Chu Mountain Lord was narrating to the new disciples.
There were gods and demons next to him, and old disciples who had not become gods and demons watched the ceremony, and Meng Chuan was one of the old disciples.
He listened to the introduction of the mountain lord and sighed secretly: "Last year, there were still fifteen thousand two hundred and seventy-one gods and demons, and in just one year, twelve gods and demons died in the early Yuan Mountain?"
If you count the many ordinary gods and demons, there are even more gods and demons who have died in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, I'm afraid there are about sixty. If you look at the whole world, there are about 200 gods and demons who die in a year. And the gods and demons either died on the battlefield, or they were seriously injured and returned to their hometowns to die. Under the long-term war with the demon clan, there are very few gods and demons who can live to the limit of their lifespan.
With the loss of so many gods and demons in one year, one can imagine how fierce the war is in the whole world.
The Terrans are still thriving, many cities are still alive with drinking and merrymaking, and the population is large enough. It is precisely because of the gods and demons who are constantly chasing and killing the demon clan, as well as a large number of ordinary people who have reached the marrow cleansing realm to serve in the military. After forcing the demon clan to enter the human world, they either hid, or rushed in and slaughtered and quickly escaped!
"I really want to cultivate as soon as possible and go down the mountain to kill those demon clans. Meng Chuan said silently.
Night, of course.
The heat in the bath was rising, and Meng Chuan was still enduring the torment, and in his heart he was cultivating as a will.
"It's the last day. ”
"One hundred and twenty days, not a day has stopped, and I have cultivated to the last day. Meng Chuan had a sense of accomplishment, although he had already set a plan for himself, he also understood how difficult it was to go through more than two hours of torture every day, and it would last for one hundred and twenty days. And he did.
Meng Chuan didn't bite the towel anymore, but his hands were still tightly grasping the stone wall, his whole body was red, his blood vessels were bulging, and there were even blood spots oozing out on the surface of some skin.
This pain comes from the deepest part of the body, and even today, it is difficult to endure the pain, and it is all up to the will.
Finally, the pain finally subsided, and the whole body became light and comfortable again.
Meng Chuan knew that the Golden Crow that he had absorbed today had been completely refined, and he would no longer damage his body in the slightest.
"Hmm. As soon as his fingers were stretched, the black and golden evil qi condensed and appeared on the tips of his fingers, which had extremely destructive power, making Meng Chuan nod slightly: "Eight refinements have been achieved." ”
Then he got up, steamed off the water droplets all over his body, put on his underwear and went out.
Liu Qiyue stood in the corridor with a smile and looked at Meng Chuan: "Ah Chuan, congratulations on finally succeeding in the eighth refining." ”
"Hmm. Meng Chuan couldn't hide his joy, "It's finally done." ”
"It's really not easy to practice the Eight Refinings. Liu Qiyue said, "Yuan Chu Mountain's cultivation of the Thunder Exterminating Demon Body reached the Eight Refining Realm, and it was still eighty-three years ago. The last Thunder World Destroying Demon Body reached the ninth refinement was more than two hundred years ago. Ah Chuan, you have also achieved eight refinements now, and you are expected to reach the realm of nine refinements again. ”
"Nine refinements are not easy. Meng Chuan smiled, "Let's go drink porridge." ”
"Today, in order to celebrate your success in the Eight Exercises, I also made a few more dishes. Liu Qiyue pretended to be mysterious.
The two of them went to the hall together, and the dishes on the table were indeed very rich.
The two of them sat down to eat.
Meng Chuan seemed to be eating happily, but in fact, he remembered a lot of things.
"What's the matter, what do you think?" asked Liu Qiyue.
"You just mentioned that the predecessors of Yuan Chu Mountain's cultivation of the Thunder Extermination Demon Body were eighty-three years ago, and the other was more than two hundred years ago. Meng Chuan said softly, "I have practiced this method and carefully understood history. Eighty-three years ago, that senior brother was called Gao Cong, and he had cultivated to the level of gods and demons in the Great Sun Realm. More than two hundred years ago, his cultivation reached the level of feudal gods and demons. ”
"I know, it's Guihaihou. Liu Qiyue said.
Meng Chuan nodded: "How did Guihai Hou die, do you know?"
Liu Qiyue was stunned for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"I checked it carefully. Meng Chuan said, "Gao Cong died in the battle of Jiuqu Pass thirty-six years ago, when the world entrance of Jiuqu Pass expanded, and more than thirty Triple Heavenly Demon Kings poured in, and there were more than 100 Double Heavenly Demon Kings. The Jiuqu Pass was directly breached, and the seven gods and demons, including Gao Cong, were all killed. Jiuqu Pass has now also become a medium-sized city pass, which is controlled by Jiuqu Hou. ”
A long time ago, there was no demon race in the Terran world, and the fight was also an internal fight within the Terran race.
But since 800 years ago, many world entrances have appeared, connecting the human world and the demon world.
In the beginning, world entrances were rare and small.
Gradually......
There are more and more entrances to the world, and they are expanding. The Great Zhou Dynasty now has seven major city gates, and the number of small and medium-sized city passes is even more amazing.
At the beginning, Jiuqu Pass encountered the expansion of the world's entrance.
"Gao Cong died in the city pass, which is also common. Meng Chuan shook his head slightly, "And return to Haihou, he is a Thunder World Destroying Demon Body that has reached the Nine Refining Realm, his speed is superb, many gods and demons are inferior to him, and even the Demon Clan's Fivefold Heavenly Demon King is difficult to hunt him down." I checked carefully, and according to the records of the early Yuan Yamanouchi, he was on a special mission and eventually died. ”
"Special mission?" Liu Qiyue was also puzzled.
"I don't know what the task is, we are not even gods and demons now, and many things are still hidden from us. Meng Chuan shook his head lightly, "One has reached the Eighth Refining Realm, and the other has reached the Ninth Refining Realm, all of whom died in battle for various reasons. ”
"Although there are those who have died in battle, there are also more powerful gods and demons in our human race. Liu Qiyue said.
Meng Chuan also nodded, revealing a hint of a smile.
That's true.
Perhaps it was the extreme oppression that the entire human race cultivated desperately and served in the military on a large scale, forcing many people to burst out of their potential. Or maybe war has sharpened every god and demon, so in the past eight hundred years, there have indeed been many more powerful gods and demons in the human race than in the past. Although there are occasional feudal gods and demons and feudal kings who die in battle, there will also be new feudal gods and demons and feudal kings and demons!
......
The next day.
Meng Chuan came alone in front of Chonghuang Feng's treasure building.
"Lord Meng Chuan?" In the treasure building, the blue-robed man at the counter looked at Meng Chuan with a smile, "I don't know what happened to Lord Meng Chuan?"
"I'm going to get a bottle of Six Desires. Meng Chuan said.
"A bottle of six desires requires three thousand merits. The man in the green robe smiled.
"My Thunder World Destroying Demon Body has reached the Eight Refining Realm, and I can get it for free. Meng Chuan said, it takes a full ninety bottles to complete the practice, and he can't afford to change it with merit!
"Get it for free?" The man in the green robe was taken aback, how many years have I not heard of the Eight Refinements of the Thunder World Exterminating Demon Body?
"Lord Meng Chuan, please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the elders to come. The blue-robed man hurriedly said.
