"Hahaha......" In the dark underground palace, the hearty and crazy laughter of the old demon sounded.

After laughing for a few quarters of an hour, the old demon of Yin Heart restrained his smile and meditated for breathing. After meditating and pranayama, the Yin Heart Old Demon's body moved, and he had already left the underground palace.

He wanted to tell this good news to the old demons of the other Demon Dao sects. The Yin Heart Old Demon suddenly appeared, causing the other five Old Demons to look at him.

However, this time, these five old demons were not so expectant, because the previous few times ended in failure.

Perhaps, as the old demon of the Yin Heart said, it is not a failure, but even if it is not a failure, they do not get the answer they want.

The Old Demon of the Yin Heart sat down, and there was no joy on his face, because he had laughed for several quarters of an hour in the sacrificial hall just now, and he had laughed enough.

He said calmly: "Fellow Daoists, this sacrifice was very successful, and the Heart Demon Heavenly Venerable responded to me. ”

"Really, Yin Heart Demon, don't you want to deceive us?" When the Yuanying Old Demon of the Tianyin Sect heard this, Huo Ran got up, looked at the Yin Heart Old Demon and said.

The Yin Heart Old Demon said calmly: "Of course I won't deceive all my fellow Daoists, all of you fellow Daoists are in the same breath as my Yin Soul Sect. Seeing that the Yin Heart Old Demon was confirmed again, the other four Demon Sect's Yuan Ying all had smiles on their faces, except for the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon looked at the Yin Heart Old Demon seriously and carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Yin Heart Old Demon, you are lying to us, you have not succeeded at all, and you have not received a response from the Heart Demon Tianzun." Hearing the Blood Demon's words, the joy on the faces of the other originally happy Primal Infant Old Demons suddenly froze, and they all turned their heads to look at the Yin Heart Old Demon.

They didn't understand why the Bloodseeker would say that. They were skeptical. The Yin Heart Old Demon looked at the Blood Demon with a calm face, and he didn't fluctuate in his heart about his doubts, and said, "Oh, Blood Demon, why are you so sure of questioning me? The Blood Demon's gaze still fell on the calm face of the Yin Heart Old Demon, and said: "Because from the moment you appeared, your face was very calm, without any joy, if you really succeeded in the sacrifice, and the Heart Demon Tianzun responded to you, why didn't you have a smile on your face?" Hearing the analysis of the blood demon, several other old demons also came back to their senses, it was indeed as the blood demon analyzed, after the Yin Heart old demon appeared, there was no smile on his face, it was not at all like the sacrifice was successful, and the heart demon Tianzun responded.

If it succeeds, the Heart Demon Tianzun has responded, shouldn't he be happy and happy?

"Blood Demon's analysis is well-founded and convincing! Yin Heart Old Demon, you won't have been unable to get a response from the Heart Demon Tianzun, and you have been oppressed by Ning Qiudao, and there is a problem in your heart, right? The Ghost Dao Sect's Infant Old Demon asked tentatively.

The old demons of the other demon sects all nodded in agreement, feeling that it was very reasonable, Ning Qiudao's oppression was too strong, although he was the Yuanying True Monarch present, but after being oppressed for so long, there would be a little problem in his heart, and the problem of the Yin Heart Old Demon was more serious, which was not surprising.

The Yin Heart Old Demon didn't expect them to think like this, of course he was very happy and happy, and he wanted to laugh heartily, but just now in the underground palace, he had laughed enough, and his smiling face was a little stiff, so his face was calm at the moment.

However, it is an established fact that the sacrifice is successful, and the response of the Heart Demon Tianzun is an established fact, and the Yin Heart Old Demon will not be emotionally fluctuating because of doubts.

He still replied calmly, "Blood Demon, the reason why I have a calm face and no smile is because I have laughed enough just now. ”

"I vouch for it with my personality, this time it is true, the sacrifice was successful, and I didn't lie to you."

"Heart Demon Tianzun responded to me." Hearing that the Yin Heart Old Demon vouched for his personality, the Blood Demon finally believed that their six sects of the Holy Dao, and all of them had a personality worthy of guarantee.

Therefore, the Blood Demon finally asked with a moving face, "Yin Xin, what did the Heart Demon Heavenly Venerable say in response to you?" ”

"I will come to this realm!" The Yin Heart Old Demon said those six words, and the Blood Demon and the others were shocked in their hearts, feeling that these words had a strange power that was injected into their hearts.

"Great, now, we don't have to be afraid of that Ning Qiu Dao anymore." The old demon of the Tianyin faction laughed heartily.

Over the years, they have been oppressed too hard by Ning Qiudao, and they don't want to turn the tables against the wind all the time, but with their strength, there is no possibility of turning the tables.

Since the internal situation cannot be reversed, then it will be turned over with the help of external forces. If the Heart Demon Heavenly Venerable can descend to this realm, he will definitely be able to suppress Ning Qiudao with one hand.

"Yes, let's let Ning Qiudao be arrogant for a while, and wait for the Heart Demon Tianzun to come, and see how long he can jump."

"I really hope this day will come soon, I can't wait!" These primordial old demons are all gearing up, looking forward to seeing the day and moment when Ning Qiudao is suppressed.

The Yin Heart Old Demon looked at them with joy and said, "Tianzun doesn't know when he will come to this realm, so we still need to be careful before Tianzun comes. ”

"Yin Xin is extremely true!" …… Repair the Secret Temple. On the road area. On the round table, Wu Tao, Ye Chaoming, Gu Xingyuan, and Jin Tea sat around.

For more than half a year. They tried 64 cut-down options, all of which failed. In fact, even if Duanmu Lei didn't come to inform him of the situation on the boundary wall battlefield, Gu Xingyuan would take the initiative to give up this direction, although this direction was his research for many years.

There is a great obsession with this. Gu Xingyuan's gaze fell on the three of them, and then said in a deep voice: "Three Daoists, Senior Brother Duanmu's words, you also heard it, you didn't expect that the demon clan actually seized the land of the boundary wall of the twelfth district. In the past six months or so, we have carried out many experimental programs to reduce the refining steps of Xuanyang beads, all of which have ended in failure. ”

"The current situation does not allow us to continue to consume in this direction, so we must think of a new direction and try again."

"One person counts the short, two counts the long, and now it's up to the three Daoists to come up with a direction for the experiment!" After Gu Xingyuan finished speaking, the Dao area fell silent again.

Wu Tao and the other three all fell into thought. In the past half a year or so, they have also looked at the plans of their predecessors to improve the Xuanyang Bead refining secrets one by one.

I have taken the previous improvement plan to heart and want to be inspired by it. A quarter of an hour later, Jin Cha broke the short silence and said, "Gu Daoyou, since the plan to cut the steps is wrong, it is impossible to maintain its stability, so that the Xuanyang Qi and the characteristics of the spiritual material, as well as the True Forbidden Rune, will conflict. So can we add steps? Hearing Jin Cha's words, Wu Tao, Gu Xingyuan, and Ye Chaoming all set their eyes on Jin Cha's body.

Gu Xingyuan said: "Increasing the steps, wouldn't it increase the refining time?" Jin Cha shook his head and said, "In the fifth-generation version of the Xuanyang Bead Refining Secret Book, that senior used the method of increasing the steps......

"No, no, Jin Daoyou, at that time, Xuanyang Zhu was mainly to solve the problem of its stability, so it added steps to maintain its stability. When stability is reached, the number of steps is increased, which shortens the refining time. But now it is different, and now the triangle theory has been formed, as Li Daoyou said, and it has been very stable. Gu Xingyuan denied Jin Cha and said.

Hearing this, Jin Cha continued to think. After a while, seeing that no one spoke again, Gu Xingyuan's eyes fell on Wu Tao and Ye Chaoming, and said, "Ye Daoyou, Li Daoyou, what do you think?" Can you tell me? When Wu Tao heard this, he stopped thinking and looked at Ye Chaoming, Ye Chaoming glanced at him, and knew the meaning in his gaze, which was to let him speak first.

Therefore, Ye Chaoming looked at Gu Xingyuan and said, "I have an idea. Gu Xingyuan's eyes moved, and he immediately said, "What do you think, Ye Daoyou, come quickly." Ye Chaoming said: "Maybe we can learn from the refining method of the battle boat, split and refine the Xuanyang Bead, and split it into parts, so that the second-order refiner can also refine it, and then we only need to assemble it, wouldn't it be able to save time." After Ye Chaoming finished speaking, Gu Xingyuan did not answer immediately, but fell into thought.

Ye Chaoming's thoughts, Wu Tao and others also understand, but this difficulty is very difficult, and the direction is worth exploring.

After a while, Gu Xingyuan nodded and said: "Ye Daoyou's idea is feasible, but it is very difficult, if time permits, it can be done, but now Senior Brother Duanmu is urging ......" Ye Chaoming nodded in agreement, he also knew the pros and cons of his idea.

In fact, an idea like his has also been proposed among the senior refiners, but it has never been implemented, and it belongs to a stranded exploration direction.

After Gu Xingyuan finished speaking, he looked at Wu Tao again and asked, "Li Daoyou, what do you think?" Wu Tao did have an idea, in fact, he had born this idea a month ago, but because he had been exploring Gu Xingyuan's idea plan, he did not put it forward.

Now that the time is ripe, I can mention it. So he said: "Gu Daoyou, Ye Daoyou, Jin Daoyou, my idea is whether you can start with the True Forbidden Rune." Hearing Wu Tao's words, Gu Xingyuan's eyes moved slightly, and then, Gu Xingyuan asked, "Can Li Daoyou explain it in detail?" Wu Tao bowed his head lightly and said, "Three fellow Daoists, you also know that the refining of this Xuanyang Bead is based on the conflict between Xuanyang Qi, Spiritual Material Characteristics, and True Forbidden Runes, so as to achieve a maximum power. ”

"Because the three are conflicting, these steps cannot be reduced, and the refining must be standardized in order to ensure its stability, otherwise the refining process of the Xuanyang Bead will definitely explode and affect the refining refiners."

"But if there is such a True Forbidden Rune, it can achieve the explosive power after the conflict between the three, and it can perfectly contain the Xuanyang Qi and spiritual material characteristics." After finishing speaking, Wu Tao quietly waited for the opinions of the three of them.

After more than a dozen breaths, Ye Chaoming spoke: "Li Daoyou, your plan is also very difficult. ”

"It's hard, but it's very feasible and very challenging." Gu Xingyuan said.

"I think so too." Jin Cha said. Of course, Wu Tao knew that it was very difficult to start with the True Forbidden Rune, and he only mentioned it, whether to start from this direction or not, and it also depended on Gu Xingyuan's thoughts.

Gu Xingyuan's index finger lightly tapped on the table, and after a while, he said, "In this way, I think the ideas of Ye Daoyou and Li Daoyou can be explored." Since it's all difficult, let's explore it simultaneously. ”

"Anyway, the battlefield of the boundary wall has been lost, and it is impossible to lose all the time." Hearing Gu Xingyuan's words, Wu Tao and the three nodded without any opinion.

This discussion meeting ended here, and two directions of progress were discussed, one was to split the parts of the Xuanyang Bead as Ye Chaoming said, and divide some pressure to the second-order refiner.

One is what Wu Tao said about starting with the true forbidden runes. Ye Chaoming and Gu Xingyuan were responsible for the direction of the Xuanyang Bead parts split.

Wu Tao was in charge of his own thoughts, and Jin Cha assisted him. It has changed from a group of four to a team of two.

"Li Daoyou, you put forward this idea, so let's focus on Li Daoyou." Jin Cha said to Wu Tao.

Wu Tao nodded and bowed in return and said, "Okay, Jin Daoyou, then let's hurry up and start discussing." In the following days, Wu Tao began to study the True Forbidden Rune of Xuanyang Zhu repeatedly to see if he could make a modification.

He felt that if he could complete the modification of this True Forbidden Rune, it would definitely be of great help to his third-order refining path path.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was another two months. this day. In the Cultivation Secret Hall, which belonged to Wu Tao's cultivation room, he was sitting cross-legged on a futon, with a jade slip pasted on his forehead, which was the jade slip of the third-order advanced refining Dao knowledge.

After he exchanged this jade slip, he entered the Secret Cultivation Hall to improve the Xuanyang Bead Refining Secret Book. It's been eight or nine months in the blink of an eye.

The light on the jade slip on his forehead lit up, Wu Tao opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to take the jade slip down, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of joy, and said softly: "Finally, this third-order high-level refining Dao jade slip has been comprehended and entered into personal information." ”

"Open your profile first." Wu Tao was about to open his personal information to check the progress made during this time, when suddenly, there was movement in the storage bag on his waist.

He immediately took out the communication token, and Shen Nian probed to read it, it was Gu Xingyuan who sent him a message and asked him to go to the Dao area, saying that Duanmu Lei was here.

Wu Tao had to wait and check his personal information, first got up from the futon, came to the nondao area, and saw that Duanmu Lei was already there, as well as Ye Chaoming, Gu Xingyuan, and Jin Cha.

"Senior Brother Duanmu!" Wu Tao bowed to Duanmu Lei. Duanmu Lei nodded lightly, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Senior Brother Li sit down and speak." Wu Tao nodded and sat down.

Duanmu Lei looked at Gu Xingyuan and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, have you found a good direction for the improvement of Xuanyang Zhu?" Gu Xingyuan immediately told Duanmu Lei about the improvement direction of Ye Chaoming and Wu Tao.

After hearing this, Duanmu Lei nodded and said, "Both directions are feasible. ”

"I'm here to tell you some news about the Boundary Wall Battlefield." The four of them were in the Secret Hall to improve the Xuanyang Bead refining secret book, and Duanmu Lei would often bring them some news about the Boundary Wall Battlefield to let them know about the Boundary Wall Battlefield.

Hearing that there was news from the boundary wall battlefield, Wu Tao and the four of them immediately listened carefully. Duanmu Lei said: "It turns out that the demon clan has increased troops to the boundary wall battlefield in order to break the boundary wall of the boundary wall of the twelve districts. ”

"Breaking the barrier?" Hearing this, Gu Xingyuan and the others were all surprised. Wu Tao also immediately showed a look of surprise.

He still understands the boundary wall, such as the Xingchen Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, these two realms, because the boundary wall is broken, the two worlds are interconnected, so there is a boundary wall battlefield, and the Xingchen Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm resists the invasion of the Demon Realm.

Or rather, the Demon Realm resisted the invasion of the Star Sea Immortal Realm.

"Senior Brother Duanmu, that demon clan has occupied the boundary wall of the twelfth district, have they broken the boundary wall?" Gu Xingyuan asked.

"It's broken!" Duanmu Lei said.

"Broken? Doesn't that mean that they can invade our Star Sea Immortal Realm through that boundary wall portal? Gu Xingyuan's face suddenly turned bad, if it was true, then the Star Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm would be unstable.

Duanmu Lei shook his head and said: "That boundary wall is not connected to our Star Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, it seems to be connected to the Immortal Yuan Realm. ”

"Immortal Yuan Realm?" When Wu Tao heard these three words, his heart was no longer settled. Because he is from the Immortal Yuan Realm.
