Chapter 31: Ancient Gods
The two disciples in the cave looked at these prisoners carefully, for fear that some of them would escape, and the two of them were just two puppets controlled by Wang Zhuo using the nightmare, if something went wrong, Wang Zhuo would pull them out when he returned, and they guarded these prey tremblingly under Wang Zhuo's hands.
"Master, he's getting more and more crazy these days, and he catches so many people here every month, and he doesn't know when he will be the head," one of them complained.
"Be quiet, if he knows, be careful to devour you too, take a closer look at these people, if something goes wrong, the two of us will be out of luck", said the other worriedly.
The two of them prepared some simple meals, put some in each cage, and just kept them alive.
These people's eyes were glazed, only a little instinct remained, and all that awaited them was to be devoured by this demon one by one.
Shi Xuan has been locked up here for about ten days after being arrested by him, Wang Zhuo came back from time to time to take a look, and when he came back, he arrested a few more people and locked them up here.
In the past few days, Shi Xuan's mind has been completely suppressed by nightmares, and his whole body has completely become a demon controlled by nightmares except for his mind, his eyes are crimson, and he just wants to kill all the creatures he sees.
Wang Zhuo's disciple who delivered him food several times was almost scared half to death by him, but the two starved him directly for two or three days, and Shi Xuan fainted directly in the cage due to lack of physical strength, which happened to be discovered by Wang Zhuo, "You two damn things, if you starve him to death, you should also follow, do you know how long it took me to find someone with such a powerful nightmare in my body?" He looked at Shi Xuan who was almost starving to death in distress, he was reluctant to let Shi Xuan starve to death like this.
"Why are you still stunned, make him something to eat, if he starves to death, you won't live", Wang Zhuo said viciously.
His two apprentices were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they were busy making some food for Shi Xuan.
"You can't die so early, when your nightmare grows, it will definitely help me grow to a terrible point", Wang Zhuo greedily looked at Shi Xuan who was sleeping in the cage.
It took a lot of effort for his two apprentices to wake up Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan was hungry and thirsty, gobbling up something, his eyes glowing red again, and he grabbed the nearest one with both hands.
Wang Zhuo pointed from afar, Shi Xuan's acupoint was sealed, he was able to get out, his face was pale with fright, and he avoided it from afar, none of the other people who were locked up were as powerful as Shi Xuan, both of them were disciples of the Kaiyuan Realm, and they had no resistance in the face of the crazy Shi Xuan.
"Yes, the old man must cultivate the nightmare in your body well, let him grow crazy in your body, in the future, you alone will be enough to replace these hundred wastes, which will also save me a lot of effort", Wang Zhuo looked at Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan was locked up by him for nearly a month in this way, one morning Wang Zhuo returned from outside, he ordered the two disciples to open the cage and release Shi Xuan, the two disciples were frightened, their legs trembled, "Two useless waste, his limbs have been sealed by me, and he can't even mobilize the aura, what are you afraid of", Wang Zhuo yelled at them.
"It's the master, I'll open it now", one of them trembled his hands to unlock the door, and at this moment, Shi Xuan fiercely threw him to the ground, although he couldn't use the aura, but his physical strength was still strong.
It took a lot of effort for the two of them to pull Shi Xuan back, "Good strength, you are qualified to become the puppet of the old man, the old man will make the nightmare in your body increase a hundred times in the future, and make you a demon among people, so that you can break the shackles of the Heavenly Vein Realm for the old man."
Wang Zhuo began to operate a strange spell, Shi Xuan's eyes seemed to have a soul, just like a doll controlled by **, under Wang Zhuo's instructions, Shi Xuan was able to skillfully use spiritual skills and exercises, as if he had become Wang Zhuo's human puppet.
"The old man's puppet purification spell is really the nemesis of you nightmare puppets, you can do things for the old man, hahaha", Wang Zhuoru won the treasure.
Recently, there seems to be an ancient god hidden in Mochizukipo, this time Wang Zhuo also heard the news, he didn't want to miss the opportunity, this time he was going to take Shi Xuan there, with Shi Xuan here, he could manipulate Shi Xuan to resist a lot of traps and dangers for him.
"You two listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is going out for a few days, if there is a mistake in your work during this period, when the old man comes back, I will slaughter you like an animal, if you dare to escape, you will experience the horror of the poison that the old man gave you to eat", after saying that, he took Shi Xuan away.
"Let's hope this old immortal dies outside, otherwise we will never have a bright day," said one of the disciples.
"What do you think, you must know that only he can solve our poison, and neither of us will survive if he dies," said the other worriedly.
In a remote area of Mochizuki Slope, at this time, Wang Zhuo took Shi Xuan to a place not far from Shenzang, and Wang Zhuo hid in the dark to observe the situation.
In the desolate Mochizuki Slope Valley, there are already a lot of people gathered here after the knowledge, obviously this time the birth of Shenzang has alarmed a lot of people, even the five overlords of the southwest region have also come, and the rest of the front-line forces are also present.
"Damn, who spread the news so quickly, if the old man follows so directly, it won't be good to be recognized", Wang Zhuo touched his beard and considered.
He took Shi Xuan to the town and bought two cloaks to cover his face, he didn't want to be recognized by some people.
Shi Xuan was completely like a puppet, although Ben was by his side.
The two of them also came to the edge of the Divine Treasure on the Moon Slope, and at this time, several masters who controlled the Divine Rainbow flew in the distant sky one after another, and they looked at the masters of these forces.
"I didn't expect the five major sects to send people here, obviously they didn't want to miss this opportunity", someone looked at these immortal masters who flew over.
"Look at those four people, they are the masters of the Tianhua Sect, the one who leads them is one of their elders, and the other three are the three most powerful disciples of the Tianhua Sect in recent years", someone obviously knows a lot.
"Who doesn't know those three people, they have long been fully cultivated by the Tianhua Sect, and they are the main force of the Tianhua Sect in the future, the leader of this generation of disciples, Jiang Heng, the eldest disciple of the Tianhua Sect, the second disciple Lin Zixu, and the third disciple Dai Mengli", the other person said.
Jiang Heng looks like a jade tree in the wind, and many female monks have cast admiring glances when they see him, this person's strength is unfathomable, and he has a big sword behind him; the second disciple Lin Zixu is equally handsome, but his bones exude an unruly aura, and there are two fast swords behind him; the third disciple is a woman, Dai Mengli is like a fairy descending from the earth, out of the mud and not stained, and the eyes of the spirit masters standing there around her are all looking at her.
As the pride of the Tianhua Sect of this generation, the three of them have attracted the attention of countless people, and many people are discussing in whispers, but Jiang Heng and the others ignore these eyes, and they are focused on discussing some things.
In the sky, a few people flew in one after another, "It turned out to be people from the Valley of Excalibur", and someone recognized them.
At this time, it was none other than Yin Qianxi and Luo Tianyi, two disciples of the Divine Sword Valley that Shi Xuan met on the mountain, and one of their elders.
At this time, Jiang Heng and the other four people came over, and Jiang Heng, as the eldest disciple, said directly: "It turned out to be the two masters of the Divine Sword Valley, but I didn't expect Brother Yin and Senior Sister Luo to also learn the news."
"Senior Brother Jiang, you are not slow, you are not slow, each other", Yin Qianxi returned the salute.
"It's not just the two of us this time, you see", Dai Mengli pointed to the distant sky, and a few divine rainbows crossed the sky, and several people rushed over.
"I didn't expect several major sects to be there, but this time it was lively", Luo Tianyi looked at the few people who flew in.
The disciples of several major sects had obviously seen each other, and they each came to say hello.
Some people recognized that the Heavenly Star Pavilion was from Lu Tianci and Xue Donglai, the Moon Worship Sect was from Zhou Nan and Tian Yun, and the Wind Thunder Pavilion was from Chu Gengjie and Yu Qinglian, and several major sects had elders following.
"It seems that this time the major sects are just experienced disciples, the real antiques have not come, several have already reached a tacit understanding, they have lined up the best of these disciples, and they also want to take the opportunity to see their performance", someone said.
In a corner, Shi Xuan and Wang Zhuo stood there, with a cloak covering their heads, and other acquaintances couldn't recognize them, Wang Zhuo looked at the disciples of these great sects with great disdain and said: "After all, one day, the old man will let you so-called famous and decent people know how powerful the old man is, you looked down on Lao Tzu at the beginning, and you will eventually step on you one by one in the future", Wang Zhuo was very angry, only he knew what happened back then.
At this moment, Shi Xuan was completely unconscious, it was completely Wang Zhuo who was manipulating him, and even when he saw an acquaintance, he couldn't remember it at all.
More and more people gathered here, the seal of the Divine Hiding Land in front of him has not yet been broken, the entire Divine Burial Place is shrouded in a huge mist, it is difficult for people outside to see the situation inside, and everyone is waiting for the seal to weaken.
This god is speculated by masters, at least thousands of years old, it is an ancient battlefield, there are countless fallen souls buried deep in it, and this birth will also bring countless opportunities to people outside.
"If this big array is not eroded by the power of time, it is estimated that even the masters of the five major sects will not want to break it, I heard that this big array is that the masters of the Nirvana Realm can be trapped, and now for thousands of years, there is only a broken corner left, even so, we can still wait for him to weaken", someone sighed.
"This big array may dissipate later, after you go in, go as deep into the core area as possible, according to the speculation of the senior brother in charge, there is a big chance inside, you must remember not to miss it, and at the same time, you must also pay attention to the people around you at all times, except for our own people, no one else can trust it", the elder of the Tianhua Sect instructed.
Their five major sects are not ready to let elder-level figures enter, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding of the major sects, just to leave some opportunities for the juniors, of course, some other small sects do not have these scruples.
"I can feel that the power of the seal is about to dissipate, and you two will follow later", Jiang Heng said to Lin Zixu and Dai Mengli.
Dai Mengli nodded gently, but Lin Zixu still looked unruly, holding his arms, and he didn't give his senior brother face at all. The same is true of several other families, whose elders are only responsible for receiving them outside, and are not prepared to go.
"You can see that this seal is weakening, you can enter it right away, we are ready", someone said excitedly.
"What are you happy about, I don't know how to die later", Wang Zhuo whispered evilly.
Under everyone's attention, a flash of light that pierced the sky suddenly lit up, and the entire mist-shrouded ancient ruins were completely displayed in front of everyone's eyes, its ancient seal was completely shattered, and countless people who were waiting were preparing to enter, but at this time, no one dared to take the first step, and they were all watching the movements of the disciples of several major sects.
At this time, Zhou Nan and Tian Yun of the Moon Worship Sect took the lead in entering the ruins, which undoubtedly led to a head, people have been in awe of this mysterious and powerful sect, more than ten years ago, but the aura in the world was dry to the extreme, at that time, Yi Zhouyang of the Moon Worship Sect suddenly led the Moon Worship Sect that had disappeared for thousands of years from the mortal world to re-emerge, and it took more than ten years to be among the top of the world again, and as soon as he appeared, he brought the prophecy of the revival of the vitality of heaven and earth, and his terrifying strength is said to have been ranked in the top three in the southwest continent.
The rapid rise of the Moon Worship Sect in recent years has set off turbulent waves, and the other four major sects are all wary of this mysterious and ancient sect, their predecessors can be traced back to 10,000 years ago, the inheritance is ancient and mysterious, and now the mountain gate has been opened again, which has attracted countless young talents to join.
Now that the strength of the Moon Worship Sect can definitely enter the top three among the five major sects, even the Tianhua Sect and the Divine Sword Valley have to be careful about their every move.
Now that the countless people outside the ruins saw the powerful Moon Worship Sect start to act, everyone began to move.
"Let's go too", Jiang Heng said to the two people of the Tianhua Sect, and then the three of them disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and the people from other sects were not far behind, and entered the ruins one after another.
At this time, Wang Zhuocai entered slowly, he didn't want to be the first bird, he liked to be a hunter behind the yellow finch.
The ancient ruins are their own space, extremely vast, there are many remnants of the ancient period of the spirit array, traps, war puppets and many ancient heroic spirits, there are also some treasured spiritual materials and sacred treasures and cultivation treasures in the ancient era, whether you can get it depends on the chance.
When people enter the ruins and find that the mountains are towering, the fog is heavy, and the roads lead to all corners of the ruins, which one can be rewarded depends entirely on personal chance.
Wang Zhuo is insidious and cunning, he will not take the risk, after he entered, he quietly followed the footsteps of the three people of Tianhua Sect, he knew that these people must know a lot of secrets, and they may be able to gain something by following them, the three of them are extremely strong, and they are much safer to open the way.
Jiang Heng and the three of them found a direction and moved forward straightforwardly, some remnants of the corner of the spiritual array and some traps could not overwhelm them, Wang Zhuo took Shi Xuan all the way to follow quietly, I have to say that Wang Zhuo's frontal combat strength is not very strong, but this person's spiritual perception is extremely sensitive, he doesn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered, but there is a lot of fog here, even so, he has not fallen behind with his sensitive perception.
Walking all the way into the ruins, people found that there were many ancient remains inside, these remains had long been decayed, and many people had also encountered some incomplete spirit arrays and traps, and the powerful ones were completely out of the question, but some of the unlucky ones with weak strength lost their lives for this.
In these ruins, some people have found some extremely ancient cherished spiritual materials, these spiritual materials are thought to be extinct in the outside world, but they did not expect to find them here, and some people have encountered terrible heroic spirits, and there are also some spirit beasts and evil ancient races of the human race, the strength is different, and there are many powerful existences, these heroic spirits their bodies have turned into dry bones thousands of years ago, but they were strong in life, and their soul power was extraordinary, and the souls that remained after their death became such a unique creature in such a special environment, they only retained the last obsession, and the evil spirit was extremely heavy, even if they killed him, once you accidentally provoke his resentment, you may also be dominated by his resentment and become a puppet.
It is hard to imagine what kind of earth-shattering war was broadcast here, how many people died here, human races, spirit beasts, all kinds of ancient races and evil creatures, their corpses covered this ruins, many tall peaks were cut off by the strong, the earth was full of ravines, and the hard rocks were mottled and stale, obviously under fierce attack. The traces of countless wars have not been erased even by thousands of years.
The people walking inside were all trembling at these scenes, and the environment here was filled with a terrible aura of slaughter and resentment, which was caused by the negative emotions of countless dead souls.
Many people even become crazy after being exposed to negative emotions and take direct action on their relatives and friends, and many people have to move forward cautiously.
Wang Zhuo and Shi Xuan walked in and inside, this strong negative emotion made Shi Xuan extremely irritable, and the resentment here inspired the nightmare in his body, and he became even more terrifying.
"Boy, you just enjoy the evil thoughts of this endless heroic spirit, this is the best nourishment, you will definitely grow into a demon among people, and finally fulfill your wish for the old man", Wang Zhuo looked at Shi Xuan, who was about to go crazy.
Along the way, he also found a lot of spiritual materials and treasures, he directly manipulated Shi Xuan to fetch it for him, as if Shi Xuan had become a puppet controlled by him, some places he felt were dangerous, he let Shi Xuan explore, he stood far behind and controlled, Shi Xuan's blazing true fire had a huge restraint effect on these heroic spirits, which made him go all the way to the depths of the ruins without danger.
Jiang Heng and the other three are powerful, ordinary spiritual materials are difficult to enter the eyes of the law, the place where they are advancing is not small, and several times they have encountered powerful creatures and broke out in a shocking battle, but the three of them should be to hone themselves, they are not afraid, they are here to improve their cultivation, ordinary spiritual materials are difficult to attract their attention, unless there are some high-level spiritual materials or cultivation treasures.
This time they found a huge spiritual lake in front of a big mountain, and a strange spiritual essence was born in this lake, which made this lake water able to temper the physique and improve the human body, which was a very precious place for cultivation.
"There's a difficult guy in this lake, let's attract him here and kill him, and then practice here for a few days, maybe it can help us break through", Jiang Heng looked at the lake full of aura.
"I'll go", Lin Zixu rushed directly towards the lake, and there was an ancient seal bound inside, which could not fly for a long time, and could only glide for a short time.
Coming to the lake, Lin Zixu's hands were sealed, and a huge fierce beast was formed in his hand, and the golden beast killed a guardian evil spirit in the lake in the distance, and the huge explosion directly caused huge waves, and the evil spirit was directly angered by him and rushed towards him frantically.
"Go and help him, he can't handle it alone," Dai Mengli worried.
Lin Zixu looked at the evil spirit rushing to him, he was not afraid at all, two fast swords that emitted golden brilliance flew out of the scabbard, and the two swords were as fast as thunder and wandered around him like two real dragons.
The evil spirit sprayed a few mouthfuls of terrifying thunder mist at him in a row, this thing will be corroded when it is terrifying, and ordinary people can't connect it at all, and Lin Zixu used a powerful aura to directly disperse the large group of thunder haze area, and started a big battle with the evil spirit with two swords in his hand.
His double swords are as fast as lightning, and his body technique is strange and unpredictable, this kind of body technique is definitely a high-grade exercise, and it is vividly exerted in his hands.
This ancient evil spirit was completely enraged, its speed and body could not attack Lin Zixu at all, it was instantly furious, the lake was rolled up by it dozens of zhang high, and the huge waterspout came towards Lin Zixu's crazy attack, the waterspout contained terrible thunder power, and the weak people in defense would definitely die without a place to bury.
At this moment, even the arrogant Lin Zixu didn't dare to be careless, he didn't dare to mess with these water corrosions, so he could only release a powerful golden body protection qi, and the two swords rotated quickly and continuously slashed the waterspouts that were rushing towards him.
Seeing that he was in danger, Dai Mengli began to activate, and a beautiful spirit staff appeared in her hand, she was a powerful water mage herself, and dealing with this evil spirit was her strength.
"Rapid freezing", Dai Mengli quickly cast a spell, a severe cold drifted by, and the waterspout that came from the galloping child was instantly shrouded in the severe cold, and was directly frozen by her on the way, Jiang Heng's heavy sword flew over from afar, directly destroying the huge frozen tornado, and the ice slag shattered to the ground all of a sudden.
"Senior brother, can you stop being so reckless next time, wait for all of us to do it", Jiang Heng looked at the dangerous scene.
"If you don't come, I can handle it, my killing move hasn't come out yet", Lin Zi died to save face.
"Second Senior Brother, I'll be angry if I do this again", Dai Mengli said.
"Okay, junior sister, next time I'm not so reckless, okay?" In addition to the senior leader in the sect, this junior sister can persuade Lin Zixu, even the senior brother He doesn't take it to heart.
Jiang Heng didn't care about this unruly junior brother, after all, which genius didn't have a temper.
His earth-based martial arts defense is amazing, and his strength is even more terrifying, and his heavy sword is simply an opponent's nightmare, even many high-level opponents are unwilling to face him, he can become the first disciple of Tianhua Sect, naturally he has his superiority, even the unruly Lin Zixu has to admire his strength when facing him.
The evil spirit saw the three of him attacking, and he frantically rolled up countless waves, forming countless ice arrows, and struck wildly at the three of them.
Jiang Heng's domineering sword qi unfolded directly in front of the three of them, and the huge sword spun rapidly, slashing countless flying ice arrows into powder. Dai Mengli in the back row started again, this time she also chose to control the turbulent evil waves, she was fighting with this evil spirit for control of the lake, under her interference, these evil waves subsided a lot, and she formed a large area of ice on the surface of the lake, Jiang Heng and Lin Zixu took advantage of the attenuation of the evil waves, and the two killed the evil spirit itself.
Jiang Heng unleashed a terrifying sword blade rage, his whole body was covered with heavy rock armor, and he slashed at the evil spirit, his strength was domineering, and the evil spirit was defeated and retreated, Lin Zixu saw the opportunity, and the double swords were as fast as thunder and took the head of the evil spirit, and in an instant, hundreds of terrifying sword shadows were shot.
The evil spirit's defenses were broken in many places, and it didn't want to fight again to try to escape, at this time, Dai Mengli in the rear rolled up a wall of water around it and directly froze into an ice sculpture, and the evil spirit's retreat was blocked and could only start a big battle.
Dai Mengli continued to cast a powerful ice arrow technique in the distance, and the huge ice pick slashed towards the evil spirit, under the strong attack of the three people, it finally defended and collapsed, and its head was cut off by Lin Zixu, its body fluids were black, and it was highly poisonous at a glance.
"Senior sister, don't let its poisonous blood pollute the lake water", Jiang Heng saw that the venom of the evil spirit was about to enter the water.
Dai Mengli instantly turned the evil spirit into an ice sculpture, and Jiang Heng kicked the ice sculpture hard and threw it on the mountain, shattering it into slag.
