() Monks who practice Shinto gather the power of faith through the idols of the gods to cultivate, and then respond to some requests of mortals in order to attract more believers, and the same is true of the totemic way of the barbarians.

The barbarian tribe worships the totem, and the totem absorbs the power of the faith of the tribal believers, and then the barbarian monks use the totem imprinted on their bodies to attract the power of the totem to practice and fight, so that a cycle is formed.

The Seven Demon Lords knew that Duan Chen's main concern was the totem on his back, so after briefly explaining the practice of Shinto, he led the topic to the path of totem.

According to him, there are two very important phases of the way of the totem.

One is the early stage of the birth of the totem, and the other is the stage after the totem is psychic.

The early totems were just dead objects, symbolic objects used by various tribes to place their spirits.

Until one day later, the totem of a tribe absorbed too much power of faith, coupled with some other strange sacrifice methods, such as blood sacrifices, etc., so that the totem underwent a mutation and gave birth to spirituality, which is psychic.

After the psychic totem, it can be cultivated with the power of faith to become stronger, and if the totem is strong, the strength of the barbarian monks of the tribe will naturally be stronger, and then it will be more devout to worship the totem.

Of course, after the totem is psychic, it will also bring a lot of drawbacks, and the instinct will tend to them to devour the totems of other tribes and absorb the believers of other tribes, which is also one of the reasons why the way of totem has developed to the later stage, and there are constant disputes between major tribes.

Duan Chen was fascinated by what he heard, and immediately reacted, and said with a strange expression: "Senior, this totem is entangled with me, does it want me to believe in it?"

The Seven Demon Lords didn't answer immediately, and only said after a while, "That's not it, it just wants you to send it home." ”

For some reason, Duan Chen felt that the tone of the Seven Demon Lords at the moment was a little melancholy, with a hint of sadness.

Could it be that the Seven Demon Lords are also homesick?

Duan Chen speculated wildly in his heart, and then asked, "Can the seniors communicate with this totem?"

The Seven Demon Lords said lightly: "It can only communicate simply, it is too weak now, if it is not for absorbing the power of faith contained in the water shield, I am afraid that it will not live long." ”

Duan Chen reacted immediately after hearing this, and said with a face full of surprise: "Could it be that Lishui Zhenren is a descendant of that barbarian tribe back then?"

The Seven Demon Lords said noncommittally: "Even if it's not, it must have something to do with it, he appeared in the Great Wilderness Dynasty back then, most likely just looking for this totem." ”

Duan Chen was stunned for a moment, gradually clarified his thoughts, and finally understood why there was an induction between the water shield and the animal skin before.

It turned out that Lishui Zhenren was actually related to that barbarian tribe, that is, if he could investigate the origin of Lishui Zhenren, he might be able to find the barbarian tribe and return the totem to them.

But that should be a long time later.

Duan Chen still has a lot of things to do at the moment, and he doesn't plan to help people do such a thankless thing without any benefits, so he can only wait for his free time in the future.

At this time, I only heard the Seven Demon Lords suddenly speak: "Actually, this is not a good thing for you, the way of totem is broad and profound, if you can use this to step on the way of totem, there will be another means to fight the enemy in the future." ”

Duan Chen was noncommittal about this, at the moment he had cultivated enough things, the Demon Immortal One Thought Method, the Nine Yang Demon

The body, the Soul Alchemy Technique, the Blood Nerve, and the Way of the Rune Array all required him to spend a lot of energy and time, so Duan Chen was not very interested in cultivating the way of totem.

The Seven Demon Lords seemed to see this as well, so they only briefly mentioned it and didn't say anything more.

At this time, it was getting dark, and another day had passed.

In the next two days, the situation in the entire Shangdu became very tense.

Facts have proved that the contemporary Shang kings are not benevolent people, and all the monks who have taken refuge in the crown prince Shang Qiu, including all the masters of the Gongyi Muyun and Gongyi families, have been sent to the frontline army of the Great Shang Dynasty to support the northern Xinjiang city, which is called winning glory for the dynasty.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is actually a meritorious service.

As for how many people would come back alive after this battle, the Shang King was afraid that he didn't care very much.

After all, the Four Dynasties had already promised to help him break through the Jindan realm, and promised to send a Jindan monk to sit in the Shangdu before he broke through the Jindan, so he didn't care much about the lives of these people.

Duan Chen, on the other hand, took advantage of the past two days to refine the bloodthirsty demon spear with the help of the Seven Dead Demon Lords, but as for how to use the Demon Dust Wind Demon Pill, the Seven Dead Demon Lords didn't have any good methods.

The reason why he was able to seal that magic pill into Duan Chen's body in the first place was also because he relied on the séance technique to get rid of the shackles of the mountains and rivers to be able to do it.

Therefore, unless Duan Chen casts the séance technique again, the Seven Demon Lords will not have the ability to help him seal the Demon Dust Wind's Demon Pill into his body for the time being.

Therefore, Duan Chen had no choice but to put aside the idea of sealing the Demon Dust Wind's Demon Pill into his body and using it, and instead focused on the matter of going to Northern Frontier City to support.

According to the conditions agreed at the beginning, as soon as the three days passed, the army of monks assembled by the Great Shang Dynasty would follow Duan Chen and Huangfu Mountain to the Northern Xinjiang City to support the frontline battlefield.

Now that three days have passed, the army of monks in the Shang Capital has also been assembled, so there is no need for Duan Chen and them to continue to stay in the Shang Capital.

On this day, as soon as the sky was bright, accompanied by the sound of war drums from the gate of the Shang Capital, one after another flying boats and magic weapons rose from the Shang Capital, and the number was so large that there were thirty or forty ships.

It can be seen that on these flying boat magic weapons, tens of thousands of Qi refining and foundation building monks of the Great Shang Dynasty have gathered, and the largest number of them are the forbidden army of the Great Shang Dynasty and the monks of the Hundred Beast Legion.

The second is the disciples of the Gongyi family, there are seven or eight hundred people, accounting for more than two-thirds of the monks of the Gongyi family, and even the Gongyi ancestor was sent out by the king of Shang.

Of course, this is also the fault of the public losing family, if they hadn't chosen to take refuge in the crown prince Shangqiu and secretly colluded with the Demon God Society, they would not have ended up like this today.

Duan Chen did not sit on the same flying boat with the people of the Gongyi family, but sat on a white jade boat magic weapon with Nangong Yao and Huangfu Mountain.

The Jade Boat magic weapon was controlled by the second senior brother Han Feng, and it was extremely fast, so it was at the forefront of the entire monk army.

Originally, if there were only seven of them, Duan Chen and the others could directly take Han Feng's jade boat magic weapon to fly to Cloud City, and then use Cloud City's teleportation array to teleport to Northern Frontier City, but at the moment, in order to escort such an army of 10,000 people, they naturally couldn't use the teleportation array to hurry.

And it is said that several other Southern Barbarian dynasties that have allied with the four major dynasties will also send large armies to the front line to support at the same time, so they are halfway

, Duan Chen and the others also had to join up with the rest of the army of monks of the Southern Barbarian Dynasty and go to the front line of Northern Xinjiang City together.

Not only that, but the day before departure, Huangfu Mountain and the others also revealed some things to Duan Chen very mysteriously, it seems that the Beiyuan Immortal Palace and Tianhang Temple have also been unable to sit idly by and watch the actions of the Demon God Society and the Demon Clan in the North East China Region, and are ready to send more Jindan Yuanying-level powerhouses to support.

Such good news also made Duan Chen full of confidence in the war between the Four Great Dynasties and the Northern Xia Dynasty, as well as the Demon God Society.

Of course, there is good news and bad news, that is, the demon clan also sent a lot of Jindan and Yuanying monks from the Eastern Regions to support the Northern Xia Dynasty and the Demon God Society, and these demon clan powerhouses also gathered a large number of desolate beasts and demon beasts through bloodline suppression.

In this way, even if the four major dynasties have the support of Beiyuan Immortal Palace and Tianhang Temple behind them, they may not be able to gain the upper hand in the next battle.

This is also one of the reasons why the four major dynasties want to try their best to win over the thirteen dynasties of the Nanban, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, not to mention that the thirteen dynasties of the Nanban have been operating in the Nanban for many years, although the overall strength is not as good as the four major dynasties, but it is also a help and cannot be ignored.

In this way, only seven days after Duan Chen and the others left the Shang Capital, they joined the monks of the other thirteen dynasties at the border of the Shang Capital, and then a group of people took a flying boat and rushed to the Northern Xinjiang City.

However, according to Huangfu Mountain's estimates, even if they relied on flying boats to get there, it would take three months at the earliest to reach Beijiang City.

Therefore, during the period of hurrying, except for the monk who was in charge of controlling the flying boat, everyone else hurried to cultivate in the flying boat to prepare for the next big battle.

More than a month later, the army had already flown out of the scope of the Thirteen Southern Barbarian Dynasties, entered the territory of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, and flew all the way in the direction where the Northern Xinjiang City was located.

But on this day, Duan Chen, who was cultivating the Demon Immortal One Thought Method in his room and striving to break through to the False Pill realm as soon as possible, suddenly sensed a hot totem on his back, and an incomparably faint fluctuation of thoughts came from it.

Duan Chen was stunned, and hurriedly stopped his cultivation and released his divine sense to communicate with him.

As a result, he couldn't decipher the meaning of the mind fluctuations released by the totem at all, so he had to ask the Seven Demon Lords for advice.

A moment later, Duan Chen left the army alone with a strange expression, and flew towards a mountain range below under the gaze of Huangfu Mountain and the others.

Shi Yunzhao looked at Duan Chen's distant figure, and said with a hint of doubt on his face: "This little junior brother doesn't know what he is doing, what does it mean to suddenly feel a little bored, he needs to walk around and see the scenery, and he will rush back soon." ”

Nalan Xue couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Everyone has their own little secrets, fifth senior sister, don't be curious." ”

Shi Yunzhao glanced at his lips and said, "Who is curious, I just said it casually." ”

Seeing this, Nalan Xue couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness, but she didn't continue to say anything.

After all, she was actually a little curious about the reason why Duan Chen suddenly left the army, but she didn't say it directly like Shi Yunzhao.

Huangfu Shan observed his words and said: "Okay, let's talk about the matter of the junior brother later, now that we have entered the territory of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, I and the second junior brother will be in charge of guarding the next road, you all go and rest." ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately nodded, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
