Chapter 434: The Way of Worship, Fighting for Control of the Magic Weapon (One More Day Owed, There Will Be No Rest This Month!) )
After arriving in the Water Cloud Sect, nearly three years later.
In the southernmost part of Yanzhou in the Southern Region, in front of Zhang Lie and the people around him, an endless abyss appeared, standing on the edge of the cliff of the abyss, looking far away, all he saw was the barren land, the flowing magma, and the vast dark clouds in the sky.
The sound of the wind stirred in the high places, and the sound of whistling like a sea tide sounded in my ears, pushing the clouds and squeezing the mist, and slapping against the rock wall under my feet, as if to sweep the people on the cliff into this abyss of flames.
Isn't this the boundary between heaven and earth?
Knowing that this idea was ridiculous, Zhang Lie still couldn't help but think like this.
At this time, after nearly three years of preparation, Ouyang Jinlan of the Water Cloud Sect led seven Jindan real people behind him to come here:
On the surface, the purpose is to rescue Yuanfeng Zhenjun. Redeem the Water Cloud Sect, the declining situation.
"Do you know where this is?"
Looking at the abyss of flames in front of him, Ouyang Jinlan stood with his hands in his hands and asked with his back to everyone.
"The Fire Demon Sect's Fire Domain?"
Zhao Yiran, one of the seven people, replied like this, which was also the answer in the hearts of the other people.
The Flame Demon Sect occupies a domain, but it triggers the earth fire, vainly tries to change the heavens and the earth, and transforms the entire area into a place more suitable for its own cultivation, so although it is the longest established sect among the four sects of the Flame Demon, Black and White, Red Sun, and Water Cloud, it is difficult for everyone to shout and fight, and it is difficult to truly develop and grow.
It is the weakest of the four sects.
"Hmph, how can those incompetent people really do such a big thing?"
"In the land of the Nine Domains and Seven Continents of my Xuanhuang Realm, among them, the Witch God Realm, the Demon God Realm, the Illusory Demon Realm, the Cloud Realm and the Middle Heaven Realm, there are monks and demon beasts who have made a contract with heaven and earth in order to seek immortality and powerful mana, to prove the position of the god lord of the first realm, and to live forever and look at the management realm, but in fact, there is no shortage of strong creatures in the remaining Netherworld, the Yellow Spring Realm, the Ancient Demon Realm, and the Hanhai Realm."
"This is the intersection of the Southern Yanzhou and the Ancient Demon Realm, 80,000 years ago, the Ancient Demon Lord successfully invaded this place, turning the Southern Wilderness into a magma hell, and even devouring the entire world."
"Fortunately, at that time, it was the era when the Shangzhen Yuan God Lu Chong Immortals dominated the world, on that day, Lu Zhong descended from the sky, led the heroes, and fought with the Ancient Demon Legion led by the Ancient Demon Lord for 1,200 days and nights, and finally the Demon Lord was defeated by Lu Chong's mixed yuan thunder, and had to retreat back to the Ancient Demon Realm.
At that time, it was far from being the strongest realm in Lu Chong, otherwise, the Ancient Demon Lord and its legions would only be defeated faster and more miserably.
I'm afraid this is a secret that only the Yuanying Realm monks should touch.
Although the Jindan monks are strong, their scope of activity is usually limited to one continent and one domain, and only the Yuanying Realm monks will have the opportunity to participate in this kind of cross-domain war.
Therefore, if it weren't for Ouyang Jinlan to tell this matter today, everyone wouldn't know that the so-called Flame Demon Fire Domain of the Southern Regions Yanzhou actually had such a secret.
This is like a wound in the world, and it is already the world after 80,000 years of restoration.
"Then, the Great Fan Demon Lord worshiped by the Flame Demon Sect refers to, that is?" At this time, Chen Xuan'er, who was beside Zhang Lie, thought of something, and asked softly in disbelief.
"You're right, the Great Fan Demon Lord worshiped by the Flame Demon Sect is actually the Demon Lord of the Ancient Demon Realm, and they call it the Holy Ancestor."
"But hasn't the Demon Lord been defeated by the Lu Chong Immortals?"
"Yes, it has been defeated 80,000 years ago, but 80,000 years later, Lu Chong Immortal has already ascended to the upper realm, and the god lord and demon lord are immortal and immortal existences, so there are monks who experienced this tragic battle, feared the power of the ancient demons, worshiped them, and founded many sects similar to the Flame Demon Sect to worship the ancient demons."
This method, in fact, has many applications in the Xuanhuang world, calling it ghost belief and obscene worship of evil gods.
When the power of immortal cultivators in a region is devastated, and there are a large number of mortals in that area, in order to survive, mortals will gather and sacrifice fish, meat, livestock, and even boys and girls to worship ghosts, demon beasts, or evil cultivators.
Once the offering is successful, even from the point of view of wanting to receive the offering for a long time, the recipient will reduce the harm to the worshipper, and even give some strength.
Objectively speaking, this enslavement/domestication has two sides:
If the domestication is done well, the evil spirits will even be gradually cultivated into family immortals, and the harm will be greatly reduced, even to the point that the local mortals can bear it, of course, this process may be as long as hundreds or thousands of years.
A good family immortal, or even a legacy that many people dream of, can take advantage of this to get a glimpse of this gorgeous and colorful vast world with very low qualifications.
However, this kind of ghost belief may also make the enshrined evil creatures stronger and more fierce in hundreds of thousands of years of worship.
In the end, the local mortals will not be satisfied with this evil thing at all, and the result will probably be that a region will become a Jedi overnight.
Among this kind of offerings, the dragon is relatively the most common and the easiest to worship, after all, the dragon is greedy, lustful, and extravagant, and once emotional, you can fully discover the beauty of everything.
This kind of offering is not afraid that you are greedy, but you are afraid that if you only want to eat people, then it will be troublesome.
Secondly, foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes and rats and the like are also normal, after all, the number of them is more, and the possibility of psychic demons will increase.
However, from the perspective of the traditional immortal cultivators, this is just a measure of rights and interests, and what orthodox monks should do is to crusade against the ghost beliefs in various places, eliminate the ghost king, destroy their sacrifices, and cut off their inheritance.
Unless it is really beyond its strength, and the local mortals do not carry out evil sacrifices, there is almost no way to live, then in this case, they can only turn a blind eye.
The Taoist, one with two sides, is never black and white.
When the environment is difficult, as long as you can survive, you can use black, anyway, people have good intentions, and when the environment improves, you will turn white.
It is so white that it can never extinguish the black, and pure white will be born out of the purest darkness.
"But no matter how you look at it, the worship of ancient demons is still too dangerous, and there is almost no possibility of successful transformation."
Zhang Lie stood on the cliff, looking at the barren land, magma lake and sea below, and shook his head slightly.
Next, everyone will follow Patriarch Ouyang and dive into this flame abyss, 50,000 zhang below the flame abyss, which is the Earth Fire Cave.
Xiaoshan Zhenjun and Yuanfeng Zhenjun were all trapped in it.
However, the Flame Demon Sect, the Red Sun Sect, the Black and White Sword Sect, and most of the elites of the three evil sects have gathered here, why can the Water Cloud Sect defend its only remaining markets and sects in recent years?
It's not because the Water Cloud Sect has stabilized its position, but because most of the elite main forces of the three evil sects are gathered in the Earth Fire Cave, and they want to surround the Water Cloud Sect's greatest combat power, the two Yuan Ying True Monarchs.
Once the success of the three sects is successful, the Water Cloud Sect will never have a chance to turn the situation back.
"It's been a hard journey, let's rest here today. Adjusting the divine consciousness and mana to the peak state, the next plan will directly determine the future of the Water Cloud Sect. ”
What Ouyang Jinlan showed at this time was still the demeanor that the Shui Yun Sect Patriarch should have.
She had personally arranged illusions around her, and unless the Yuanying Monk went all out to investigate, she would not be able to see through this illusion.
The monks of the Water Cloud Sect can rest and recover here with peace of mind.
"Ancestor, we're not very tired yet, you take out the sword diagram again, let's practice the sword formation."
At this time, Li Bing, a female cultivator among the seven, got up and said this.
"Okay."
In this regard, Ouyang Jinlan only thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The seven-star sword array can be superimposed on the sword power of the swordsmen, so that the power of the seven swords is combined, and in the seven-star sword diagram, the seven swordsmen will give birth to a kind of mental induction between each other, thus forming a battle formation, you attack and defend, you advance and I retreat, cover each other, help each other, and maximize the strength of the seven Jindan real people to unite and resist the Yuanying Zhenjun.
During this time, Ouyang Jinlan came to instruct the seven people to cultivate the sword formation almost every day, but every evening, he would take away this seven-star sword diagram.
Although it was approaching evening today, the time had come to the end of the plan, and Ouyang Jinlan was no longer worried, some of the seven people could peek into the secrets of this sword diagram.
Because he was about to turn around and rebuild, Ouyang Jinlan sold the Natal Magic Weapon that he had cultivated for thousands of years, the Cloud and Mist Ethereal Banner, to a large sect in Central Continent in exchange for this seven-star sword diagram.
The sixth-order magic weapon cloud mist ethereal flag, with the ability to control the power of the earth's feng shui, this flag comes out, the heaven and the earth are ethereal, and the person in charge of this treasure can close the monk's five senses in a range, and the role of the sixth-order invisibility talisman is amazing. It had already been cultivated by Ouyang Jinlan to the point of a sixth-order high-grade magic weapon.
But she knew that she would not be able to refine this treasure to the top of the sixth order in her life, and she was going to reincarnate and recultivate the Water and Fire Dao Method, so Ouyang Jinlan replaced this treasure with a seven-star sword diagram.
The Cloud and Mist Ethereal Banner is more powerful, and the Seven-Star Sword Diagram has greater potential, as long as it is integrated into the seven fifth-order flying swords, it can be refined into a sixth-order high-grade magic weapon, if it is a blood sacrifice to seven deep-rooted Jindan real people, there is a chance to refine a sixth-order top-level magic weapon, and in the future, it will be cultivated into a water and fire Dao method, which is enough to dominate the world.
What's more, the spirituality of the sixth-order top-level magic weapon is already very strong, and the protection of oneself when he is reincarnated, when he is weak, is far more than that misty banner.
Therefore, she gritted her teeth at this decision.
However, Ouyang Jinlan never dreamed that even if she had tried her best to control the time when Zhang Lie came into contact with the Seven-Star Sword Diagram, for Zhang Lie, as long as he had met once and had been in contact once, with the power of the Haotian Mirror, he would be able to gain insight into the Seven-Star Sword Diagram to a very high level.
"I think this change should be like this!"
"I think so."
Liu Junru, He Xiaoqin, Xu Feng, Li Bing, Chen Xuan'er, and Zhao Yiran injected mana to expand the seven-star sword diagram, and then they each stood around to discuss the changes in the direction of the sword formation, and they were mutually restrictive.
And Zhang Lie stood aside, pressing the sword diagram with his hand, as if he was observing carefully.
No one present noticed that streams of pale golden mana flowed down his palm into the sword diagram in front of him.
The seven-star sword diagram, Ouyang Jinlan didn't get it for too long, and in order to carry out the blood sacrifice, it was destined that she would not be able to completely refine this treasure. A portion of the area had to be vacated for blood sacrifices.
This led to Ouyang Jinlan's lack of control over the Seven Star Sword Diagram, and even, even if he discovered Zhang Lie's secret sacrifice, although Ouyang Jinlan would stop it, he would not be afraid, because in common sense, how could a True Human Realm monk in the middle of the Jindan Dynasty compete with a Yuanying monk for the control of the magic weapon!?
But in fact, Zhang Lie's Jindan Five-Layer Realm was already similar to Ouyang Jinlan's Yuanying Six-Layer Realm cultivation with two levels of qi and blood.
really fought with swords and killed each other, one-on-one duel of life and death, Zhang Lie even had enough confidence to get the final victory:
Ouyang Jinlan is too old, and she is too afraid of death.
After three days of rest, Ouyang Jinlan took back the seven-star sword diagram, and then took the seven real monks behind him to a corner of the flame abyss.
"The Earth Fire Cave is a Jedi, there has always been only one way in and out, the elite monks of the three evil sects are blocked here, we can't force it in, but their defense is aimed at the people inside, if we want to sneak in, we don't have a chance."
As the junction of the Xuanhuang Great World and the Ancient Demon Realm, the path into the Earth Fire Cave presents the shape of a funnel, Xiaoshan Zhenjun and Yuanfeng Zhenjun are in the middle position, moving forward is the Ancient Demon Realm, and retreating is the three major evil sects, if it weren't for Xiaoshan Zhenjun's cultivation for eight hundred years, he couldn't break through, so he was proficient in cultivating immortals, and his formation cultivation was good, and he established a formation in time.
It is impossible for him and Chen Yuanfeng to support it for so many years, and Ouyang Jinlan's plan on the face is to approach the location of Xiaoshan Zhenjun and Yuanfeng Zhenjun with the greatest restrictions of everyone, and then suddenly kill, and break this deadlock with the inside and outside.
After all, from the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, as long as the Shuiyun Sect side succeeds in converging, not to mention killing the monks of the three evil sects, it should be very certain to get out: if, there is no accident.
"This plan is full of dangers, but you are all my sect's henchmen, so I won't say anything superfluous."
"For the sake of the Water Cloud Sect, for our home!"
Ouyang Jinlan stood there, her eyes glancing, and she was staring at everyone present, including Zhang Lie, who puffed up their chests slightly and looked fearless.
Then, Ouyang Jinlan was the first to jump into the flame abyss and the tributaries of the magma pool below, and Liu Junru, He Xiaoqin, Xu Feng, Li Bing, Chen Xuan'er, Zhao Yiran, and Zhang Lie behind him were all cast spells and followed and jumped in.
Jindan True Realm Cultivators, avoiding swords and fire without being injured, the hot magma is not hotter than warm water under their protective body mana.
Of course, this is only at the beginning, and the deeper you dive, the higher the temperature and pressure become.
