Chapter 20: The Southern Spirit Wilderness
Since Fuxi sealed the Netherworld Blood Sea, the acquired aura had nowhere to return, and finally in the first 70,000 years or so, in the Southern Spirit Wasteland, where the aura that could not be irradiated by the sun and the moon was the thinnest, it condensed into a very powerful creature, which was the Heavenly Punishment.
Heavenly punishment is cruel by nature, and at the beginning of its birth, there was a quasi-saint early stage of cultivation, but there was no quasi-saint early stage realm, and later generations called it a pseudo-saint. The peaceful qi above the mountain and sea realm made Tianzhu extremely tyrannical, and he vented vigorously and destroyed the balance of heaven and earth everywhere.
The monks of the mountains and seas have tried their best for hundreds of years but have not been able to eliminate it, and after several major encirclements and suppressions, they can only seal the heavenly punishment in the end.
However, the sealed Heavenly Punishment has been slowly absorbing the grievances in the desolate world, and after thousands of years, it has broken out again. After a long time, the monks were exhausted.
It wasn't until about 3,000 years ago that Tianzhu was resurrected again to endanger the common people, and the long-hidden struggle between the Soul Suppression Alliance and Tianzhu was staged again in the world of mountains and seas. So repeatedly, to this day, not many people can remember how many times the Heavenly Punishment has been resurrected.
......
Fierce beasts are rampant in the Southern Spirit Wilderness. Unlike the beasts in the outside world that rely on the vitality of heaven and earth and spiritual grass to survive, the fierce beasts here feed on the boundless aura that gathers here and the strange flowers and plants that suck it. Fierce and brutal, extremely bloodthirsty.
In order to obtain a purer temperament, fierce beasts often kill each other and devour their own kind.
And the Heavenly Killing Pavilion was originally a very mysterious organization, and they began to appear in the mountain and sea world after the pseudo-saint Heavenly Punishment appeared.
These people hunted Terran monks. Swift and deadly. The monks of all the states of the realm talked about the change of color.
At first, the monks learned of the existence of the Heavenly Killing Pavilion from the wreckage of the Killing Star Self-Explosion. Later, Jiang Chen, the fifth-generation head of the Jiang family, personally went out and captured a Heavenly Killing Pavilion Empty Netherworld Monk alive with a trick. At the cost of consuming his own lifespan, he used the secret method of soul searching, and only then did he know the details of the Heavenly Killing Pavilion.
It turned out that the monks of the Heavenly Killing Pavilion all practiced the Xuanming Gong taught by their pavilion master, the Blood Rakshasa Sect.
A cultivator who cultivates the Xuan Ming Gong will be surrounded by a layer of black mist around the Divine Soul Fire of the Yin Tang Cave, and the Yuan Qi used will also turn black. Other than that, it is no different from ordinary monks, so that it can disguise itself very well, and hunt down low-level monks repeatedly.
This technique can convert the vitality in the monk's body into the aura needed by the star-killing people. Compared to the cultivation of the beast pill that absorbed the aura of heaven and earth and relied on the condensation in the body of the Southern Spirit Desolate Beast, the speed at which the Xuan Ming Gong improved the realm of the cultivator's martial arts was more than dozens of times faster. This makes the Heavenly Killing Pavilion enough to grow in a very short period of time.
......
Although the Southern Linghuang is connected to Cheung Chau, the border between the two places is blocked by a long mountain range. Not only is the terrain steep, but there are also miasma obstacles and fierce beasts. Therefore, Jiang Boling chose to start by sea.
Two days later, the mainland was already in sight, and a demonic wind suddenly hung on the originally calm sea. It was getting dark.
The monks discovered that there was a dividing line between the sea ahead and the South China Sea. The sea near the Nanling Wilderness is a little black, and it is not compatible with the sea water of the South China Sea.
The ship swayed in the wind and waves, and the monks who built the foundation on the ship could not even stand up straight.
Jiang Boling flew into the air, brushing the dust with his right hand and drawing a golden light towards the sea in front of him, and quickly pinched the trick with his left hand, shouting in his mouth: "Town!"
The wind stopped abruptly, and the inky waters in the sea ahead turned blue at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the dark clouds above the monks' heads dissipated in an instant.
Jiang Boling: "Everyone, speed up. ”
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, with frenzy in their eyes.
As the ship continued to sail, the dark clouds in the sky slowly gathered. When the monks landed, the sea behind them changed back to its original appearance.
"This Nanling desolate anger is really too heavy, and even Wuyang Zhenren can only suppress it for a short time. The monk marveled.
After everyone landed on the shore one after another, they were deeply shocked by the sight:
The sky was filled with boundless thick dark clouds, making the entire Nanling Wilderness a gray world.
The surroundings were unusually quiet, and as far as the eye could see, the black ground was overgrown with trees, flowers and plants that had been spawned by the aura.
Compared with the leaves that were bubbling with a hint of black mist, the blood-red soul flowers all over the ground looked poignant and extraordinarily terrifying.
The eerie and eerie atmosphere instantly enveloped everyone. In the face of the Southern Spirit Desolation, which is like purgatory in the earthly realm, many monks have numb scalps.
"Woolulu......"
"Ahh
A large group of 'soul hooking vultures' that survived by eating the Soul Burial Flower suddenly burst out, causing several timid monks standing in front of the crowd to scream in horror. Seeing Liu Changqing and Wang Lingfei's powerful eyes, they immediately lowered their heads.
Jiang Boling gave a slight order and led the army towards Jiaomu City, the location of the garrison with the Holy Mother of Jinling.
Jiaomu City is a city built by the Soul Suppression Alliance in order to seal the Pseudo-Saint Heavenly Punishment. It is a place dedicated to monitoring and guarding the seals of the heavens. The pseudo-saint Heavenly Decree was sealed in the Heavenly Decree Hall in the city.
The five major sects that formed the Soul Suppression Alliance would send people to guard each other every five years. Even after the dissolution of the Soul Alliance for many years, this agreement is still preserved. As for the reason, there are different opinions, some people say that it is because of the oath, and some people say that it is because of the previous heads of the Jiang family.
There was a rumor in the market: the soul league of flowing water, the pearl city of iron.
Even the Holy Lord Yellow Emperor, who ruled the flood and famine, did not arrange for his own capable people to take over Pearl City, but was still managed by the Shennong clan, the original owner of Pearl City, who was also the Holy Lord. Since then, Pearl City has been in charge of the Jiang family, and its terrifying heritage is self-evident.
Hornwood City, Tianzhu Palace
Our Lady of the Golden Spirit was sitting upright on the main hall at this time, discussing with the dozen or so Changzhou powers sitting in the hall about dealing with the Heavenly Killing Pavilion.
A burly young monk ran into the hall with an excited expression: "Qi Yu Yuanjun! The city lord of Pearl City, Jiang Cheng, has led the Changzhou monks to reach fifty miles outside the city. ”
"Oh?" said the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, who was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurried to the monk to help him up, "just in time, everyone, follow me out of the city to greet him." ”
"Yes!"
In the past few months, the number of sneak attacks by the monks of the Heavenly Killing Pavilion has become more and more frequent. During this period, he launched a first-scale raid on Hornwood City. Fortunately, there was a protective formation and a group of monks such as the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit to guard it, so there were no major casualties.
"Yuanjun!"
Jiang Boling saw from afar that Our Lady of Jin Ling led the Great Power of Changzhou to stand at the gate of the city to greet him, so he shouted at him.
After months of fierce battles, it was obvious that the monks in the city had a hint of fortitude on their faces and their eyes were much sharper than the newly arrived Changzhou monks.
"Boling!" the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit smiled.
The monks bowed to Jiang Boling and saluted: "Meet the real person of Wuyang." ”
Jiang Boling hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Eh, you don't need to be like this, you don't have to be like this." ”
After a period of greetings, Our Lady of the Golden Spirit asked a group of monks from the Spirit Void Realm and the Foundation Realm to be placed. Together with Jiang Boling, he led all the great powers straight to the Heavenly Judgment Palace.
Seeing that Our Lady of Jin Ling ordered someone to fill the Prajna wine she had brewed herself for everyone, Jiang Boling smiled heartily.
Our Lady of the Golden Spirit looked at Jiang Boling and asked, "Boling, what is the situation in the realm now?"
Jiang Boling said with a smile: "With the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuan sitting in Jiuzhi Mountain, Yuanjun can rest assured. ”
Our Lady of Jin Ling: "Is there any movement in the Emperor of the North Mountain?"
Jiang Boling: "There is no news for the time being, I have entrusted the White Emperor Zhao Yuan to stay in Changzhou, and this trip must be resolved quickly to prevent accidents." ”
"Hmm. Our Lady of the Golden Spirit nodded in agreement: "In this case, we will first strengthen the seal at noon tomorrow, and then send troops to Broken Soul Mountain." ”
"Come, I'll give you a glass. ”
......
Just as everyone was drinking and talking, a monk stationed at the entrance of the main hall had an evil smile on his face.
Broken Soul Mountain, Heavenly Killing Pavilion
A black-robed woman stares at a crystal ball floating in the hall. There were also twelve black-robed men standing in the hall who could not see their gender.
The picture that appeared in the crystal ball was the scene inside the Heavenly Judgment Palace.
A sneer appeared on the woman's delicate face: "Shizun is really prescient, no wonder the human race has declined, you look at this group of people, they are still drinking and having fun when disaster comes." ”
"Tomorrow, while it strengthens the seal, it will attack the city and annihilate it in one fell swoop!
"Yes!"
This woman is the current Heavenly Killing Pavilion Master: Blood Rakshasa - Ya Xin, who is cultivated in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. The twelve black-robed people in the hall are the twelve soul servants of the Heavenly Killing Pavilion, two of them are in the early stage of the Golden Immortal, and the rest are in the Spiritual Silence Realm.
As for the master in Yaxin's mouth, it is the Shura master of the Yemo tribe who has been missing for many years.
Shura has five fixed and distinctive forces, namely the four Shura and the Styx Legion.
The four Shura are: Blade Shura, Blood Sea Shura, Yemo Shura, and ** Shura.
The Blade Department is led by the four major Shura Lords, Ge Qiannuo, who is good at attacking positions and battles, and is mainly responsible for the attack of the territory.
It has nearly 150,000 subordinates, and the number of Shura under it is small, while the number of Asura is more. The Shura of the Blade Sect is stationed in Youzhou, and the main forces are concentrated on the Yin Mountain to defend the Netherworld Blood Sea and the Giant Divine Tree, ensuring the safety of the lair and the passage to the Heavenly Realm.
Its Shura master Ge Qiannuo has the mid-stage cultivation of the Golden Immortal.
The Blood Sea Department is led by the Shura Lord Evil Martial God Rahu, who is good at rapid raid movement warfare, and is mainly responsible for the Celestial Front.
Garrisoned in the Blood Demon Pass, it is the main army fighting against the Draconians.
Its Shura Lord Rahu is the second strongest general in the Shura clan after the Styx, and has a quasi-saint primary cultivation.
And Yaxin's master, the Yemo Department led by Po Ya, belongs to the staff of the Shura clan. The Shura of its dual cultivation of law and martial arts is the most of the four, and the Asura under its command is small in quantity but fine in quality, wandering in various battlefields of the two worlds of heaven and earth.
Po Ya is the Shura Lord with the highest IQ and the strongest spells, and she has the cultivation of the Golden Immortal Peak shortly after the Styx is sanctified, but she has not achieved a breakthrough in the realm since then. After his disappearance, his Yamabe Shura came under the direct command of the River Styx.
**The ministry is led by Aina, the lord of Shura. Ayina is a demon and ghost, with a demagogic ecstasy spell, and her cultivation is in the early stage of the Golden Immortal.
As for the strongest Styx legion, it is directly led by the Styx Ancestor. Its Shura and Asura are all elites personally selected by Styx.
The Styx Legion is rarely directly involved in combat, but every battle they engage in is known for being bloody and brutal. The bloody battle of the Juque that shook the Three Realms was caused by the Styx Legion.
After the Shura clan captured the Western Heavenly Realm Cloud Pass, it was renamed the Blood Demon Pass.
After the battle with the Night Demon, the Three Realms suffered heavy losses, and the Shura clan, who had been holding still, became the biggest winner.
