Chapter 257: The Root of Heavenly Punishment

After some thought, Ji Yuan and Lin Yubai nodded and agreed to Ji Wenwen's proposal.

Because of refining the dead qi in several people's bodies, the mana they had consumed before had all recovered, and there was even a slight improvement.

And after a few hours, with the help of pills one by one, even though they did not deliberately refine, their respective injuries have recovered a lot.

Although they are not in their heyday now, if they encounter danger, they can also exert seventy or eighty percent of their strength, and they are confident that the realm of upper cultivation has been cut off, leaving only the existence of physical power and spiritual power, and even if they can't beat it, they can get out safely.

So Ji Yuan used the Xuantian Spirit Devouring Pagoda to include Zhu Wudang in it, and followed Ji Wenwen and others through the ruins.

Along the way, whenever they encounter a place where the slightest spiritual light emerges, the few people who lead the way will not hesitate to make a move, relying on a sturdy body comparable to an excellent magic weapon, ignoring all kinds of participating formations and prohibitions.

It's only been more than half an hour, and there are several more spiritual objects in the two of them, although they are not a powerful magic weapon, they are also extremely precious materials.

Any one of these materials is enough to become a core material, and it can be easily refined to produce a magic weapon that is of excellent quality, at least four or five times forbidden by the day after tomorrow.

As for the overtures of Ji Wenwen and others, it is naturally impossible for the two of them not to see it, and their mood is somewhat complicated.

Nearly an hour later, the crowd stopped in front of a mountain.

"This is where the Floating Life Hall is."

Ji Wenwen pointed to the mountain peak in front of her, and her voice sounded in the ears of several people.

As far as the eye can see, this mountain is only dozens of feet high, and there is not a single vegetation on the bare surface.

And in the naked. On the exposed mountain rocks, there are figures sitting cross-legged, all of them exuding gray-white dead air all over their bodies.

Ji Yuan and the two followed Ji Wenwen to climb the mountain, attracting a lot of attention along the way, so that the people who had to sit here all the year round couldn't help but stand up one by one.

"For thousands of years, you were the only outsiders who appeared here."

Ji Wenwen let out a low voice and explained to the two behind her.

Since the end of the Blood Sacrifice War, not only have they been imprisoned in their physical bodies and unable to leave Xuanhuang City for half a step, but people from the outside world have never set foot here.

Now that they suddenly saw people from the outside world who were not stained with death, they naturally couldn't control the excitement in their hearts, and they didn't immediately step forward to find out, but they were already in a very good mood.

In addition, with Ji Wenwen and others leading the way, it will not be too eye-catching.

"At the blood sacrifice back then, so many people were turned into ...... "living dead"?"

Ji Yuan felt the gaze around him, and then couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, the five people in front of them didn't speak immediately, I don't know if it's an illusion, and the backs look a little desolate.

"In the battle thousands of years ago, most of the people were actually dead."

After half a sound, Ji Wenwen spoke: "It's just that the physical body is relatively intact, and the three souls and seven spirits are there, so it has evolved into what it is today."

In the long years, they have cried out in pain many times, why did they not have to endure such torture and pain when they were not physically destroyed.

Once upon a time, death was the most feared in my heart, but now I am most longed for.

When everyone reached the top, they saw five people sitting opposite each other outside a collapsed house, and more than a dozen people gathered behind them.

Those who can climb to the top of the mountain and sit here are all extremely strong people, the weakest of them are all Three Realm cultivators "before their deaths", and the strongest have reached the Jindan Realm.

Even after death, the physical power and spiritual power it possesses far exceed those of its kind, so that it can establish a floating life hall that is not harmed by other people in a huge Xuanhuang City.

Regarding the situation in the city, on the way here, Ji Wenwen roughly told Ji Yuan and the two.

Today's Xuanhuang City is divided into five parts, and the inner part of the city in the middle is a forbidden area, in which there is still an extremely strong heavenly punishment

If they step rashly, they will turn into irrational beasts.

The four urban districts in the southeast, northwest and northwest, except for the west district, where the reincarnation hall is located, the other three urban districts are occupied by large and small forces.

Although it is extremely difficult for everyone in the city to be killed due to the impression of the power of heavenly punishment, it has not been without accidents for thousands of years.

What's more, even if the body is as strong as a magic weapon and difficult to be killed, it can still be suppressed by various means.

Among them, the Reincarnation Hall often does this, using the suppression of people from other forces as a source of growth for its own dead energy.

"This is my father, Ji Changlin."

Ji Wenwen walked forward, introduced the two sides to each other, and at the same time told the dozen or so people present what she had experienced before.

The five people who originally sat in the middle, one was his father, who was a Dan Dao master at the peak of the Three Realms "before his death", and he was only one step away from becoming a generation of grandmasters.

As for the other four, three of them had been at the peak of the Three Realms, and one of them was a Jindan Great Cultivator, a powerful existence that could fight with the Red Heart Dao people in the Blood Sacrifice Battle thousands of years ago.

And the dozen or so people around, the weakest "in life" also had a bit of cultivation in the late stage of the spiritual realm, but now they have been transformed into "living dead", and their cultivation and realm have been cut off.

Now, among all the people, only five people can exert a strength comparable to the early stage of the Three Realms with their physical bodies and spiritual power, and the rest is only about the strength of the middle of the Second Realm.

Compared to mana, no matter how strong the spiritual power is, it can only exert the power of a small realm lower than itself.

For example, Ji Wenwen is comparable to the spiritual power in the late stage of the Point Spirit Realm, and the power she actually exerts is only equivalent to the middle stage of the Point Spirit Realm.

"Can they remove the dead qi and strip the power of heavenly punishment?"

The middle-aged man who used to be a cultivator in the Jindan Realm, after listening to Ji Wenwen's story, couldn't help but make a sound.

Rao is detached state of mind, at this moment, he can't help but feel a sense of turmoil, although he believes in his companions, he still can't help but wonder in his heart.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan threw out the Xuantian Spirit Devouring Pagoda in his hand, and as the tower body turned, a black shadow fell, and quickly returned to its normal size.

"Zhu Wudang of the Hall of Reincarnation!"

In the crowd on the side, someone subconsciously made a sound.

Obviously, for this person, everyone present is no stranger, and even many of the companions around him were captured by the other party and other people from the Reincarnation Hall.

However, Zhu Wudang, who was powerful in the past, now has no breath at all, and there is not a drop of thick dead qi left in his body, and even the power of heavenly punishment is extremely rare, and he can almost be completely eliminated by just a little.

It's just that, but it makes Ji Yuan try his best, and he can't help but feel powerless.

"How did his flesh become so weak?"

Among the five people, an old man with a childish face spoke up.

Under his influence, even in the Hall of Reincarnation, this person is a relatively powerful existence, and the strength of his physical body is comparable to that of a magic weapon, which is enough to match them in this regard.

It's just that at this moment, Zhu Wudang's physical body has weakened, and it is just comparable to a magic weapon of ordinary material.

"As the power of heavenly punishment was stripped away again and again, many life forces surged out of his physical body."

Ji Yuan said.

At the same time, as soon as he pointed to the small tower in front of him, a strong vitality suddenly appeared, as a testimony to what he said.

On the side, Ji Wenwen also nodded stiffly, indicating that what she said was true.

"Father, seniors, dare to ask if there is any way that can allow us to get rid of this last bit of heavenly punishment?"

After explaining what happened in detail, she asked with some urgency.

As soon as these words came out, more than ten people around them also looked at each other, even Zhu Wudang, who was sitting on the ground, was no exception, and they all hoped to hear good news.

However, after being silent for a long time, the five people, including Ji Wenwen's father, shook their heads one after another, and several sighs echoed among everyone.

If you want to completely eliminate the power of heavenly punishment, the only way to do this is to enter the inner city and solve the problem at its root."

His name is Su Zimu, and a middle-aged man who used to be a Jindan monk said: "But if you want to enter it, you must at least have mana in your body."

That is to say, if they want to enter the inner city, they must at least have a cultivation level above the second realm, but this is exactly what they don't have.

The strongest of the people in the city who were affected by the power of heavenly punishment was even comparable to the middle and late stages of the Three Realms, but all of them relied on physical bodies and spiritual power.

And if you want to enter the inner city, you must rely on the mana of the monk, otherwise it will be difficult to isolate the rich power of heavenly punishment in it.

If people like them enter it, they will lose their minds in the power of heavenly punishment and become beasts that only know how to kill.

In the silence, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Yuan and Lin Yubai, who could not do anything about it in the past, but now there is a suitable person.

"Farewell!"

Ji Yuan bowed his hand, then turned around without hesitation, and immediately walked towards the foot of the mountain.

It's just that he has just taken a step or two when there is a strong wind around him, and then he can see the five people in front of him, and they are expressionless and stop in their way.

Lin Yubai stood behind him without saying a word, and he didn't know when he had taken out the natal thunder bead, and his mind moved slightly, and there were infinite thunder lights constantly flickering, and even mixed with the power of several heavenly punishments.

Seeing this scene, everyone on the top of the mountain took a few steps back, as if they were extremely afraid of the power of heavenly punishment, lest they be contaminated to the slightest bit.

After just a little pondering, the two of them had a little guess in their hearts that the reason why the people in Xuanhuang City became like this was because of the power of heaven's punishment.

Even the people here do not dare to enter the inner city because they will be affected by the power of heavenly punishment, thus breaking the balance between life and death, and becoming a beast that only knows how to kill.

In this way, these people will naturally be jealous of the wisps of heavenly punishment contained in Lin Yubai's magic weapon.

"Could it be that you, seniors, want to force the two of us to enter the inner city?"

Ji Yuan looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the five people in front of him.

What really has the right to speak here is that these five people can exert the power of the monks of the Three Realms with their physical bodies and spiritual power alone.

"Xiaoyou misunderstood, we have no intention of doing so."

Ji Changlin took a few steps forward, and a sincere look appeared in his slightly clear eyes.

He assured that he and the others had no such intentions, and even to tell the truth, with the cultivation of the two of them not exceeding the spiritual realm, even if they could enter the inner city, they would definitely not be able to go too far.

And the root of the power of heavenly punishment is at the core of the inner city, that is, the residence of the Chixin Dao people in the past, and it is also the city lord's mansion of Xuanhuang City.

The Chixin Dao people who wanted to sacrifice everyone here with blood back then finally fell here, were swallowed up by the infinite power of heavenly punishment, and finally ended up in ashes.

And if you want to completely clear the power of heavenly punishment here, in addition to being able to go to the depths of the inner city, you must also have a cultivation above the Jindan realm, and hold a rare magic weapon.

Of course, if there is a powerful person to make a move, it will be much simpler, and with its boundless mana, all the power of heavenly punishment can be quelled.

But when I reach that realm, what I desire most is to be closer to the Heavenly Dao, and what I am most afraid of is to have too much contact with the Heavenly Dao.

If the power of heavenly punishment is to level the earth, I am afraid that it will bring immeasurable variables to the powerful person himself, and the slightest carelessness will be turned away from hundreds of years of penance.

"It's not practical to solve the root cause, but we want to get rid of one or two things about the two little friends."

Ji Changlin's voice sounded slowly, and his mood couldn't help but make his tone tremble a little.

As his words fell, he, along with the four people beside him, as well as everyone on the top of the mountain, saluted Ji Yuan and Lin Yubai with fists.

Seeing this scene, the two turned sideways again and again, not daring to really accept such a big gift.

In any case, everyone present was considered their seniors, and they rashly accepted this gift

, it's okay if you don't want to fall in your heart, for fear that you will be broken in the dark.

Cultivators pay attention to seniority, and they are far more valued than mundane mortals, because the number of qi in the underworld is turbulent. Ethics and etiquette will be abandoned by the way of heaven.
