Chapter 20: The Underworld
Yun Shan and the three disciples came to their cave mansion and sat down cross-legged on their knees, Wang Gan's heart moved, and he found that the master who was still full of spring breeze just now had a somewhat solemn face at this time, and he knew that in the two years of his retreat, something might have changed in the cultivation realm.
Although he had also seen many elders, core disciples, and even true disciples just now, there was not a single one of those disciples who were in the Qingyun Sect, calling for wind and rain, and being domineering, which was very abnormal, even if those disciples didn't pay much attention to their little-known figures, but the movement of the Chilian Thunder Tribulation was so big, it was impossible for none of these people to appear, so there was only one reason, these people were not in Qingyun Mountain.
"Wang Qian, you are finally out of the customs, and you have cultivated to a great advancement, this is very good, recently my Tianyuan Continent has been very unstable, and the eventful autumn is coming, if your cultivation is too low, even I dare not say that I can guarantee your lives. ”
Zhou Qing and Yun Lu also looked solemn, Wang Qian understood that these two people must have heard something, and Yun Shan's words were probably said specifically to himself.
"Master, what the hell is going on? Could it be that we, the inner disciples, can't even stay in the mountains to cultivate in the innate realm?"
Wang Qian's question is also very ingenious, because according to his understanding, in the cultivation realm, the disciples of the innate realm can be said to be all over the ground, and they are the most humble monks, even if they are peerless, they have not yet grown up, generally speaking, these disciples take some simple tasks on weekdays to experience themselves, and only by successfully building a foundation can they be regarded as a real monk, and can they be regarded as truly joining the world of cultivators.
"Hey, junior brother, you have been cultivating wholeheartedly in the past two years, and you are very pure, you don't know, these days, the cultivation realm has been surging, and many low-level disciples of all sects and sects have died, and when they die, it will be a large area, it is my Qingyunmen, and there are hundreds of inner disciples who have died. ”
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly, and then his face became gloomy.
Wang Gan was shocked in his heart, since he came to the Tian Yuan Continent, except for the time when he had just become a zombie and killed a few disciples of the Tian Yuan Sect, it was calm, and very few things happened, it had only been two years, and it was really shocking that such a huge change had occurred.
"Could it be that the battle between the righteous and the demons has begun?"
Wang Qian thought that his speculation was very accurate.
"Hey, where is it so simple, according to the investigation of the great supernatural powers of various sects, the underground Netherworld has begun to turmoil again, and recently many demons of the Netherworld have begun to appear on the Tian Yuan Continent, and there are many places where the human race has been slaughtered. ”
Yun Shan's face was heavy and he sighed.
Wang Qian didn't know much about the Netherworld, so naturally he could only listen.
Yun Shan just gave a brief introduction to the situation and let them each leave.
Next, Wang Qian first spent a few days to consolidate his cultivation, he broke through to the second turn of the Nine Turns Refining Body, and opened up the Sea of Suffering, there was a huge breakthrough in cultivation, according to his own estimates, it was much more powerful than the Congenital Great Perfection, and it could even be compared to the monks in the foundation building period, although the divine power in the Sea of Suffering seemed to be weak, but it was the power condensed to the extreme, constantly nourishing his physical body, and the strength was getting bigger and bigger day by day, and he was about to become a humanoid divine beast.
On this day, he practiced the bitter sea seal again, one move and one style, such as a heavenly dragon, majestic and vast, and like a crane, elegant and ethereal, the air continued to explode, flickering with cyan qi from time to time, and within the surrounding Zhang Xu Fangyuan, the void shook, whether it was a mountain stone or a grass and tree, it was instantly turned into powder, and it was fierce to the extreme.
"This bitter sea seal recipe seems simple, or even only one formula, but it is broad and profound, the avenue of communication, and the mysterious, the more you cultivate, the more you can feel the profundity. ”
With a long breath, Wang Qian retracted his breath, the boiling essence in his body slowly calmed down, and he pondered what he had just done.
Zhou Qing suddenly came to the door and explained his intention, but he asked him to go to the Pepsi Hall to receive the task of going down the mountain and go deep underground to kill the demon of the Netherworld.
Wang Qian didn't dare to slack off, so the two of them casually cleaned up and set off immediately.
Along the way, Wang Qian was listening to Zhou Qing's explanation, it turned out that during this period of time, the high-level leaders of Qingyun Sect had issued an order to encourage the disciples in the sect to go down the mountain to practice, and to fight with the demons of the Netherworld Clan, on the one hand, to sharpen their cultivation, and on the other hand, to kill as many demons as possible to protect the mortals of the Tianyuan Continent from being slaughtered.
Before he arrived at the Pepsi Palace, Wang Qian had already seen many Qingyunmen disciples coming and going, and some were even covered in blood, obviously just finished fighting with the underground demon.
There are also many disciples scattered, full of pain, Zhou Qing explained on the side, recently everyone went out of the mountains to fight, they all walked in teams, some teams gained a lot, and some teams were either not strong, or unlucky, when they encountered a powerful demon, they naturally suffered heavy casualties, and there were many teams that did not come back alone, and stayed underground forever, becoming food for those Netherworld demons.
At this moment, Wang Qiancai deeply felt the tragedy of the fight, the humility of life, in his previous life he lived on the earth, although it was also a time of red dust, but after all, it was a time of peace, how could it be so bloody and tragic now.
When they came to the Pepsi Palace, there were already four or five disciples waiting for them to arrive, and when they saw Zhou Qing, they all stepped forward to greet them with a smile, as for Wang Gan, there were too few opportunities to show his face in Qingyunmen, most of them didn't know him, and the battle platform was fleeting, low-key and pitiful, naturally no one knew him.
After the group of seven people gathered, they immediately entered the Pepsi Hall, where the various deacons have been very busy recently, and there are too many disciples who have received the task, although it is the same, but there are thousands of disciples in the inner sect of Qingyunmen, and it is not an easy job to count the merits and distribute the tasks.
The task about the underground Netherworld is very simple, a middle-aged deacon casually threw over a book, which recorded the information and task requirements of the Netherworld, Wang Gan and his party took it and left, and did not ask much, there were already a lot of people waiting to receive the task behind.
All the way down the mountain, Wang Qian also understood the situation of his team, except for Zhou Qing, the remaining five people were Wang Dao, Li Haoran, Zhao Changqing, Zhao Kuang, Huang Zheng, all of them were congenital late stage of cultivation.
As for Zhou Qing, in the past two years, he has also broken through to the point of congenital great perfection, and he almost succeeded in building a foundation.
After listening to Zhou Qing's introduction to Wang Gan, the other five people looked surprised one by one, and looked at Wang Gan with burning eyes, as if there were many flowers blooming on his face, which made Wang Gan cry and laugh.
"How many, who are you?"
Wang Qian was puzzled, he was an otaku who didn't go out of the door, and the eyes of these people seemed to look at cherished animals, which made him really unbearable.
"Wow, you are Senior Brother Zhou Qing's junior brother, that Demon Wang Qian?"
Among several people, Huang Zheng was the most lively, and he talked the most along the way, and immediately shouted.
"You still don't know? You are now among the disciples of Qingyunmen, but you are a big celebrity, you broke through the innate realm and were struck by the thunder of the heavens, it is simply unprecedented, that day the thunder tribulation was wildly split, and I saw the red cloud covering the sky!"
As soon as Huang Zheng's words came out, everyone else kept nodding, and even the coolest Wang Dao had sharp eyes.
Wang Qian smiled bitterly, only then did he know that he was already famous, and it was not ordinary famous, I don't know how many people inquired about his news, and he was very depressed in his heart, who would be willing to be struck by thunder, looking at the scenery, only he could guess the danger clearly, it was really nine deaths.
"Is it good to be struck by lightning? Why don't you try?"
Wang Qian opened his mouth to refute, and the others immediately stopped talking and didn't say more, they were all trembling.
Several people have the strength of the late innate stage at the very least, plus the Shenxing talisman in their hands, the speed is very fast, and they almost have a little bit of bearing to travel to the twilight of the Beihai Sea, and in less than half an hour, they are almost thousands of miles away from the Qingyun Mountain Range.
"Alright, junior brothers, there is an underground crevice not far ahead, get ready. ”
Among the several people, it has always been Zhou Qing as the leader, and when they heard the words, their faces became solemn, and the atmosphere was no longer as active as just now.
Soon after, he saw a ruined city, the walls of which had collapsed, the houses had been razed, and the smell of decay was blowing in his face, and it was desolate and miserable.
The huge city is now a dead city, full of mutilated bones, like hell on earth.
"This city was overthrown by the underground Netherworld clan half a year ago, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city were all devoured, and none of them survived. ”
Zhou Qing's face was heavy, and everyone was red-eyed, although it was said that the cultivators were high and despairing, but it was only relatively speaking, those old monsters who had cultivated to a high level, one by one, who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, it was good to say, like Wang Gan and them, the oldest was only thirty years old, they were all young people, their blood was strong, and they were the most jealous and hateful.
"This Netherworld Clan is simply the demon of the demons, and if you don't kill it, it's not enough to prove the Dao Heart!"
Wang Gan's face is also calm, he doesn't have the slightest good impression of this Netherworld, he is really not my race, his heart must be different, this Netherworld is not a human at all, once he is born, he will take humans as food, and even these cultivators are their favorites, the aura is sufficient, devouring a cultivator is enough to make the demon of the Netherworld Clan cultivate into a great progress, which can be described as a mortal enemy.
Even the Demon Dao monks are not as ferocious as these monsters, although the Demon Dao is praised as cruel and vicious, but in the end, they are all human races, and they will not be mad to such a point, so this time the underground Netherworld Clan was born, not only the disciples of the righteous path went deep into the underground to fight, but even the various factions of the demon path also sent disciples to fight.
"Senior brothers, go deep into the ground for a while, be careful, although the first layer of this underground is vast and boundless, but there are also countless demons, maybe I have just entered from here, and I just happened to meet the demons, and I will go all out when the time comes!"
Zhou Qing's face was cold, not at all like a cultivator, everyone else was the same.
Everyone agreed in unison, and then each used his own means to leap into the crack in the center of the city.
Zhou Qing and others, each of them emerged with colorful true yuan, using magical means, or talismans, or magic weapons, only Wang Gan was alone, wearing a green coat on his body, the strong wind was blowing, a palm was slapped out, and the falling body was a meal, followed by another palm, the edge of the crack, whether it was a mountain stone or a civil wood, under his hands, all of them were pierced like tofu, alternating with both hands, stepping on a chain, seemingly clumsy, without the demeanor of the immortals, but the speed was really not slow.
I don't know how deep this crack is, half an hour later, Wang Gan felt that he had dropped to a depth of 10,000 meters, and it was still not to the end, at a glance, it was still dark and dreary, it seemed to be a bottomless abyss, and the ancient fierce beasts were devouring them.
As everyone became familiar with the technique, the speed of descent became faster and faster, and after an hour, they finally vaguely saw a black and gray land.
Touch!
The feeling of being down-to-earth came, Wang Qian exhaled deeply, this hour, although it was not a full shot, but for him, it was not very easy, if it was a monk in the foundation building period, he was successful in practicing qi and could fly with a sword, it was naturally extremely easy, but the cultivators of the innate realm did not have such means.
Before a few people could hurriedly exchange words, they heard a burst of heavy footsteps.
Roar!
The roar that was not like a human was heard, and the thick bloody atmosphere was disgusting, and when he looked up, Wang Qian found that dozens of meters away, a group of monsters were rumbling and running.
These monsters, shaped like people, have a head, two arms, and two legs, but they are all pitch black, covered with scales, and in the gloomy light, they emit wisps of ghostly light, and at first glance they have strong defenses and are very difficult to break.
Look at these monsters again, the head is like an ape, but there is no hair, there are dense scales, the four fangs of Sensen are exposed, emitting a sharp cold light, the palms are also like animal claws, the nails are slender, silvery-white, curved like Wu hooks, and some are stained with dark red blood, which is extremely ferocious.
"Everyone be careful, this is the Netherworld Demon Ape, fast speed, strong defense, sharp teeth, fierce claws, infinite strength, be careful!"
Zhou Qing has seen a lot of information about the various races of the Netherworld Clan on weekdays, and this moment comes in handy, and he will introduce it immediately, some others know it, some don't know, and they also have a look on their faces when they hear it.
