Chapter 3: Dark Clouds Surge
"Venerable One, what should we do now? Directly fight them head-on?" asked one of the burliest generals.
"Don't worry, there will naturally be a time for you to show your strength later, don't worry, the big forces that advertise themselves will inevitably deal with the lower three clans scattered outside, immediately notify them, and order them to attack scattered, you don't have to get results every time, retreat with your whole body, and preserve your strength is the key, as long as there is no unified core in the human world, when the time comes for the lower three realms to invade, they don't have much power to parry, you know, in terms of wisdom and cunning, our lower three clans are not human opponents, but if it is about intrigue, we are even worse than themγ The black-robed Venerable said nonchalantly.
"However, the development speed of the human cultivation world is also beyond imagination now, whether it is the Doushi Guild or those immortal mansions, the strength is not weak. A green-haired demon general frowned.
"Don't worry about this, I have already felt the breath of some old friends, it seems that they have also woken up, we are lurking in the shadows, the Terran cultivators are in the light, and our strength is constantly awakening, and when these humans who enjoy comfort are truly realized, I believe that the balance of victory has truly tilted in our favor. The black-robed Venerable said with a smile, revealing his white teeth: "Their death is not far off. β
Although he smiled, his eyes were full of ruthlessness.
"This time, no one will be able to stop us, and this land will eventually fall under the control of our three clans. β
The black-robed Venerable grinned, and in that smile, there was an endless fanaticism: "The great work that the Ancestor Emperor did not complete at the beginning will be completed by my generation for him!"
"Wait, this time, we won't fail again, I'm really looking forward to the desperate faces of humans, haha. β
A slightly muffled laughter spread far away in this darkness, black light surged, faintly, it seemed that there were countless evil eyes, opened in the darkness, and an invisible cloud had shrouded the sky.
In the midst of the complete boiling of the upper echelons of the cultivation world because of the restless lower three clans, the cultivation ground in the Wuling Mountain Range that seemed to have been opened up from the long river of time was still silent, that kind of tranquility, filled with unspeakable loneliness.
In a lonely hall, a young figure sat quietly, as if how many years had passed, because the clothes on his body were gradually eroded and broken by the years, but his appearance did not change in the slightest, but the fortitude on his face seemed to be outlined more and more obviously.
In his body, there was not a trace of yin and yang qi and spiritual power emanating, he was just like the most ordinary ordinary person, as if he was weak enough for anyone to ignore him.
Only those who have a keen perception can faintly feel what a sharp edge is bred under the simplicity.
It was so quiet, I don't know how long it lasted, the figure that had been sitting quietly for a long time suddenly trembled slightly, and the clothes on his body suddenly turned into powder and floated down.
And just when the clothes turned into powder, the eyes of the figure, which had been closed for many years, finally opened gently at this time.
The pupils of those eyes were as dark as night, and there was no fluctuation in them, but in such calm, this void world seemed to tremble gently under the gaze of those pair of pupils.
That eye is like two mysterious whirlpools, exuding fierceness and intoxicating at the same time.
In the center of the main hall, Xun Qiu opened his eyes, and in his dark eyes, it seemed to encompass the world. Awakening from that long cultivation, he was at a loss for a moment, and then his eyes began to regain clarity, he looked down at his slender palms, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Is this the Soul Condensing Realm?"
Xun Qiu muttered to himself, and he could feel that at this time, he seemed to have entered a rather terrifying realm, a realm that he had never touched before.
He had a feeling that if he was fighting against others again, he would no longer have the kind of hard work of the heavy load on his body when he mobilized the two qi of yin and yang, because when the two qi of yin and yang were replaced by soul power, that energy began to be released from the inside out, as if a movement of consciousness could stir up the wind and clouds of heaven and earth.
This is the power that comes with the Soul Condensing Realm.
Xun Qiu slowly stood up, the light on his body flickered, he put on a black shirt, he grasped it in his hand, this space specially made by the yellow-robed Helian, compared the time with the outside, it was three times longer, although compared to the year outside, he had been here for more than three years.
"It's been a year outside, and I don't know what the situation is, and I don't know if the rookie competition has passed. Xun Qiu muttered to himself.
"Let's go out first. β
Xun Qiu thought like this, so he no longer hesitated, he turned around and bowed to the void, this time he was able to raise his cultivation to the current height, the yellow robe Helian contributed a lot, although when he entered here to cultivate, the last wisp of consciousness of the yellow robe Helian had disappeared in the world, but this worship was his respect for the former.
Xun Qiu did not stay after the thank-you ceremony, his mind moved, and the void in front of the hall was slowly formed with an aperture, and he finally no longer hesitated, stepped into the aperture, and then gradually disappeared.
With his disappearance, this void space that could be stretched for a long time finally became lonely again, only the bright white walls around him, flickering with light points, as if bidding farewell to Xun revenge.
On the mountain road in the early morning, a figure walked in the distance. Facing the faint morning breeze, the man soon appeared in front of him. If you look closely, it turned out to be a handsome young man in his twenties. The young man was dressed in a well-fitting black shirt, worn on the slender and slightly thin body, which looked a little weak, but he did not lose his handsomeness. An indifferent smile appeared on his face, and a pair of clear eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, with an indescribable charm.
Looking at the small liquor shop at the fork in the road not far away, the young man showed a smile in his eyes and approached without hurrying. Finding a table at random and sitting down, the young man glanced around, and there were also cultivators with long swords on their backs who were eating breakfast here at this time, and they didn't know which sect's disciple they were.
After the young man sat down, he ordered two side dishes, and on the table next to him, at this time, a cultivator with a long sword on his back suddenly said: "Senior brother just sent the news that he found that gangster in the mountains ten miles to the north, and now he has been surrounded, tell us to hurry over and reinforce him." β
"Don't be in a hurry, with the strength of the sevenfold yin and yang realm of the senior brother, what kind of villains can't be dealt with, let's eat slowly, it's best to arrive when they are finished, and then you don't have to be tired, and it can be regarded as a great achievement, so let's settle down and go up the mountain after eating this meal." The boy next to him who knew that he was a little treacherous at a glance said with a smile.
"You're right, but I didn't hear a fortune teller say yesterday that these recent strange things are all the work of some otherworldly demon, and they may soon affect the entire Yunran Continent, so it's better for us to be careful." Finally, before I left, the old madman seemed to be in a daze, and said a few strange words. What he said was uneasy, and the heavens and the earth were in chaos. There seemed to be a few more sentences in the back, but unfortunately his voice was too low for me to hear. β
"Forget it, you still don't have to listen to the crazy words of those crazy people who deceive ordinary people, even if it is really a big mess in the world, it is our cultivators who have cultivated extraordinary to turn the tide, with our current strength, no matter what kind of demons and monsters he is, he must kill as many as he wants. The other man smiled triumphantly, and then the two of them said a few more words, and after half a ring, the two of them were full of wine and food, and threw a few coins on the table, and got up and left.
"Boy, do you see, there seems to be movement in the lower three realms, it seems that the chaos of heaven and earth is really coming. The demon thought came out and said to the young man beside him.
Xun Qiu nodded, he didn't plan to take this path before, but he felt that there was something strange here, so he deliberately walked over, and after arriving at the Soul Condensing Realm, coupled with the mysterious golden seal beside him, his senses became quite acute, especially for a qiΔ negative energy.
"Let's hurry up and have a look, I always feel a little uneasy. Xun Qiu looked forward, a different color crossed his face, and the whole person also subconsciously sped up, quickly overtaking them without the two sword-carrying disciples before noticing, and flew towards the depths of the mountains and forests in the north with that strange feeling.
Cultivating to the current level, the ten-mile journey hardly took long, and feeling that strange aura getting closer and closer, Xun Qiu Wei stopped, swirled down from mid-air, and walked towards the mountain path on the left.
Somehow, after landing, Xun Qiu felt that the evil aura before was gradually weakening.
After pondering for a while, Xun Qiu seemed to have made up his mind and continued to move forward. However, after less than three miles, surrounded by dense weeds, it was impossible to find the way at all. At this time, Xun Qiu had to stop and turn back. Just as he walked out less than five feet, a cry for help suddenly came from the dense forest behind him, which stopped him.
With a frown, Xun Qiu turned around and looked at the dense forest, revealing a strange look in his eyes. From the voice just now, it sounded like a girl's voice, very crisp and sweet, but now it turned into an exclamation. Just as Xun Qiu was considering whether to go and take a look, the cry for help sounded again, this time even more anxious, as if he had encountered something terrifying.
As soon as his eyes changed, Xun Qiu's body straightened, his right hand waved in the void, and the whole person suddenly jumped up and flew into the depths of the woods. After several chic and light ups and downs in a row, he soon appeared in the depths of the dense forest, his eyes fixed on the things that had attracted him with the sound before, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.
