Chapter 550: The Importance of the Four Gate Guards
The scenery of the Demon Domain is magnificent, and I am really not in the mood to enjoy these beautiful scenery along the way. Since the Tianmen Rebellion, the people in the demon domain seem to have gone crazy, and countless people have walked out of the cave and out of their own territory, just to find that human race.
"Play big, play big..." When Qin Lin heard the news, he said with a sullen face, "It's absolutely impossible to go to the Demon God Temple quietly now!!
"Giggles... Cowardice..." Demon pursed her lips and chuckled, "Did you think of that legion... You're afraid..."
"Be serious..." Qin Lin sternly retorted, "Million Venerable Legion..."
"I said, don't you take it seriously at all?"
With this level of strength, if you know a little bit about the tactics of combined attacks, I am afraid that even a saint will have to weigh it. The black armor army under which the Divine Thunder King sits, ten thousand people can be lower than a powerhouse in the Divine Realm. The vast majority of the people in the Black Armor Army belong to the Heavenly Immortal level, and there are very few transcendent realms, and only a very few leaders have reached the Divine Realm.
This kind of power belongs to the pinnacle of existence in the north.
If the whole army of the Black Armor Army came to the Demon Domain and encountered these forces, they were afraid that they would be crushed into slag in minutes.
"You have pity on me, can you make it?"
"I'm just a little saint, I'm still young, I don't want to die yetΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
The demonic smile became even more unscrupulous, and there was a message of disbelief in his eyes, "Enter the Holy Realm, but you don't dare to speak like this in front of the Holy Realm, take out a little bit of what you should look like when you enter the Holy Realm????"
"How dare you mention it..." Qin Lin was a little annoyed, "If it weren't for you, would I have made that choice..."
"Also, you can't use your normal strength now, your sacred realm is a showcase. β
"Okay!!" Xue Lian stopped the demon and continued to tease, and said to Qin Lin, "She's just scaring you, it's not that serious." β
"The power of the Demon Domain is certainly strong, but it can't achieve a military establishment like the Divine Domain. β
"The demon clans in the Demon Domain are all scattered sands fighting for themselves, so it is impossible for a million legions to exist. β
"Of course, you are a human race, and killing in the realm of the demon domain will definitely cause some resentment of the demon race, and I don't think it's strange to have the current situation. β
"This is also a chance for us to !! a long time ago."
"What chance?" Qin Lin finally settled down when he heard this, "You should tell me, you must have your own purpose when you bring her, but now, everyone is in a boat, and some things should be said as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that I will not have a chance to say it." β
He had long suspected Snow Lotus's motives, but there was no evidence.
It was supposed to be a walk-and-go trip, but why did you bring this burden?
If it's a burden, you have to bring it, then there must be secrets in it that you don't know. He needed to know what the secret was now.
"Do you remember the Tiger Ancestor?" Xue Lian talked about the conversation with the Tiger Ancestor, which was a relatively open and honest exchange of information, "If you want to go to the Demon God Temple, you don't have to rely on your foot strength to do it." β
"Where the Demon God Temple is located, ordinary people can't find it at all. β
"There are only two ways to find the specific location of the Demon God Temple. β
After hearing such news, Qin Lin's heart was already half cold, and at the same time, he had a relatively clear idea.
"So, we have to break through the four gates of the Demon Domain..." He looked at the well-behaved and eccentric demon on the side and said, "Then take the four of them and integrate the information in their hands to know the location of the Demon God Temple?"
"And at the same time, Tiger Ancestor will also help us?"
He wanted to say what was the purpose of the Tiger Ancestor? There are differences between humans and demons in terms of temperament, but there are also commonalities, and it is a common problem to do things with a purpose.
For example, he came to the Demon Domain to fulfill his promise, and by the way, to see if he could get the cultivation method of Xuanyuan's three arrows and the second arrow, this was his purpose.
As for the strife in the Demon Domain, he didn't want to get involved.
But with a character like Tiger Ancestor, can he really guess his purpose? This is impossible. What they want is not at all in line with their own people, or the level of thinking is not in the same dimension, and they can't think of it at all.
"Let's talk about the four gates of the demon domain..." Snow Lotus also understands that information asymmetry can have a big impact on future actions. For now, she really needs Qin Lin's strength very much, so fortunately, she will tell everything she knows, so as not to make everyone uncomfortable in the action.
The demon domain is divided into four gates, eight wildernesses, six and fourteen gods. Among them, the Eight Desolations and Fourteen Divine Residences refer to the specific location of the region, which is an unchanging geographical division on the territory of the Demon Domain, and each ethnic group in each region lives according to its own wishes.
Among them, the eight wildernesses are distinguished by the direction of the eight trigrams, which are Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, and Kan. After a long period of development, these stations are valued by some ethnic groups, and they are introduced as ethnic gathering places, and later developed into the land of Liuhe, which are heaven and earth, Qiankun, Yin and Yang, Lizhen, Dugen, and Xunkan.
The above eight desolations and six combinations refer to the visible territory of the demon domain.
"Is there still a territory that doesn't exist?" Qin Lin asked in surprise, "My God, the territory of the Demon Domain is too wide... It's much bigger than I imagined..."
"Nature exists!" Xue Lian replied in the affirmative, "There is a secret realm in the Divine Domain, and the Demon Domain has a passage to be inherited..."
Basically, every mature large group has its own special inheritance channels, through which the younger generations can enter it to receive the inheritance from their predecessors.
Some of the more powerful ethnic groups can achieve the purpose of racial continuation through memory inheritance.
There are a number of associated lineage passages, the most famous of which are the Fourteen Divine Shrines.
"In principle, the combination of the Eight Desolations and the Fourteen Divine Residences is the complete territory of the Demon Domain. After Xue Lian finished talking about the useful information, she concluded, "That is, the territory of the Demon Domain in the mouths of people outside the Demon Domain. β
"What about the four gates?" Qin Lin was puzzled, "The Xuanjie Gate has a detailed explanation of the territory of the Demon Domain, and it mentions in detail that the territory of the Demon Domain should be four gates, eight desolations and six combinations. β
"The Four Gates don't actually exist!" Xue Lian gave a startling answer, "The Four Gates are actually the passage to the Demon God Temple. β
"Since the Great War in the Demon Domain, the Demon God Temple has gradually fallen out of the field of vision of the people of the Demon Domain, and basically, only some races of sufficient weight can know where it is. β
So the Four Gates were opened, and they served as a place to appease the emotions of these unsuspecting people. β
At the same time, it also began to consume the excess power within the Demon Domain. β
"Excess power?" Qin Lin heard that there was a monstrous wave surging in his heart. This is not difficult to understand, the population base of the demon domain is too large, the larger the base, the greater the chance of population 0 explosion, after several large consumptions, this situation has still not been alleviated. As a result, there was a situation where the various ethnic groups in the demon domain were fighting.
This is a meat grinder, and it is also a balancer, which is used to balance the number of major races in the demon domain, and is used to reduce the resource tension caused by the population 0 explosion.
And these are the rules set by some of them.
"These are all secrets, it doesn't matter if you say it or not!" Xue Lian didn't want to mention this sensitive topic, "Now what we want to talk about is the importance of the four gates." β
"To reach the Demon God Temple, you must go through all four gates and find someone like her!"
"Combined with the token in their hands, which is the one you got before, in this way, you will have a chance to open the door to enter the Demon God Temple. β
The guardians of the four gates are not guarding the four gates, they are guarding the existence of the Demon God Temple, which is equivalent to a gatekeeper. Qin Lin looked at Youran, who blinked again, and seemed to like the role of the janitor.
"Don't think too much about it, it's an honor to be the guardian of the Demon God Temple!" Demon Ran dispelled Qin Lin's thoughts, "And at the same time, the four of us have all gained some unexpected abilities through this role. β
"For example, I can keep myself in my own reincarnation by dreaming, so that I can not only maintain a pure heart, but also be able to superimpose the cultivation of each reincarnation. β
"When there are enough times, my cultivation will be able to get a qualitative ascension and become a demon saint... It's not impossible. β
I see!! Qin Lin remembered what the Snow Emperor said when he came, the ability to create dreams can be returned if he is sincere after ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years is an extremely long time for an ordinary person, and if there is really reincarnation, I am afraid that it will have to be reincarnated for a hundred lifetimes. However, for the powerhouses of the Divine Realm, 10,000 years is actually not a long time, just like a forest and clouds, sitting in the starry sky and deep sea for thousands of years.
"Okay!" Qin Lin digested the news he had just heard and made a summary, "That is to say, if we want to go to the Demon God Temple, we have to go through the remaining three gates of the Earth, Xuan, and Huang, and we must also subdue the powerhouses of the three sacred realms in order to truly know where the Demon God Temple is." β
"Is there anything wrong with my understanding?"
"Wow... It's progressed..." Demon Ran said happily, "Your comprehension ability is amazing..."
"That's it!" Xue Lian was a little embarrassed, after all, in Qin Lin's understanding, to go to the Demon God Temple, it was just a matter of walking.
Looking at the ridicule of the two of them one serious and the other unserious, Qin Lin sincerely felt that life was boring. One enters the Holy Realm, and two people who can't do it and don't know what level they want to defeat the powerhouses of the three Divine Realms?
I'm looking for death.
"You don't have to be so downcast..." Xue Lian seemed to sense that Qin Lin's mood was not high, and opened her mouth to comfort, "You just need to hold them back like last time, and I will naturally have a way to solve it." β
"Haven't I become bait, then?" he suddenly remembered what he had done when he was in the Void Realm, and he hugged his leg and refused to be bait.
It's really a real report!
Before, he really didn't believe that there was such a thing as reincarnation, and people just died... Death is death, and ashes are annihilated. Even if there is a soul, at most there is such a thing as taking away things that do not conform to the common sense of heaven.
But now he began to believe a little, there is a reincarnation in the way of heaven, who does the sky forgive?
"It's beneficial!" Xue Lian said in a gentle manner, "You looked at the Heavenly Gate last time, did you get a lot of benefits?"
This was a secret that only Qin Lin himself knew, he had always thought it was like this, but when he saw Xue Lian's eyes, he understood, and the fear of Ao Mangosteen in his heart was even deeper.
This old man knows so much.
He didn't know how much Ao Shanzhu knew, but if he knew that all this was in the old man's calculations, and even the method of subduing the demon was told by Ao Shanzhu, I was afraid that he would be afraid of the soul ascending to heaven now.
The older generation of strong men know too much about this world, and the world they have experienced is the process of moving from chaos to clarity, although the world is not clear today, but at least it is relatively orderly.
Those who have lived through their time must have this ability to foresee the future and control everything, otherwise they will long be dissipated in the long river of history.
"Fight..." Qin Lin also felt that this benefit was very tempting, "Then what is our plan now." β
"You're the leader, I'm just a guard. β
"Demon Ran!" Xue Lian commanded, "You are more familiar with the Demon Domain than the two of us, you must have your own ways and means." β
It is calculated that Xue Lian is the same as Qin Lin, but she has an extra memory inheritance and a basic outline overview of the demon domain. And Qin Lin was completely black-eyed.
In the Demon Domain, such people usually don't live long.
Fortunately, Qin Lin's strength is okay, his ability is acceptable, and his luck is better, otherwise I am afraid it would have been gone a long time ago.
"The Four Gates are something similar to a formation formulated according to the direction season!" Demon Ran drew an outline on the ground, "Here, it is the east, the Lord Shaoyang, and the direction of the green dragon." β
"In the former Demon Domain, this area was under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Clan, and they rained all things, also known as the Green Dragon of Spring. β
The same three directions are the winter unicorn in the northern Xuanwu direction, the summer vermilion bird in the southern Suzaku direction, and the autumn white tiger in the western white tiger direction.
"Don't look at me like that, it's just a title..." Demon Ran felt the strangeness of the gaze of the two, "It's to fit the legendary divine beast in the Demon Domain." β
But such a statement is also unreasonable, because the four divine beasts are the green dragon in the east, the vermilion bird in the south, the white tiger in the west, and the Xuanwu in the north.
However, in the orthodox history of the Demon Domain, there are basically no outstanding characters in the Xuanwu clan, and they have been forgotten. Perhaps in ancient times, the Xuanwu clan did have earth-shattering characters who suppressed an era, otherwise how could there be legends left.
According to the Demon Ran, the location of the Four Gates has almost covered all the regions of the entire Demon Domain, and on the way, it has to pass through six of the eight wildernesses and three of the six wildernesses.
The forces in these areas are more complicated, and the slightest mistake is the end of being shattered.
At this point, Qin Lin can be regarded as having a relatively clear concept map of this mission, you are proud of Mangosteen, your business is really cost-effectiveΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·
According to the route planning and action guide of the demon, I am afraid that this mission will not be completed in a few decades. What am I doing?
Decades of my GodΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· I'm not even forty years old... Is it equivalent to walking out of the demon domain after completing the task, is it nearly a hundred years old?
And there are countless life-and-death choices that may be faced, and there will be countless dangers waiting for you on the road.
"In the Demon Domain, if I travel by tearing through space, will I be regarded as hostile by those super powerhouses?" Qin Lin suddenly remembered this question.
According to Demon Ran's statement, it would take decades for the three of them to judge the time by the speed of normal flight and the speed at which Qin Lin entered the Holy Realm. As for why it is judged by Qin Lin's speed, it is natural to treat him as a cow and horse, after all, the state of the two women is not quite right, and he needs to carry it forward.
"No..." Demon Ran replied in the affirmative, "Those who can tear apart space are super strong, who will have nothing to provoke a super strong?"
"And if you're just passing by, it's usually just a casual hello. β
"Is it okay not to say hello?" Qin Lin continued to ask.
It's not okay to say hello, if you expose yourself, it's not someone else's meal. A person who only enters the holy realm has the means to tear the space, no matter how you look at it, this is a piece of fat.
"Theoretically... It's doable..." Demon Ran is very strange why Qin Lin has so many questions, does it make sense?
She quickly understood what the meaning was.
At the same time, he also has a new understanding of Qin Lin, he is worthy of being a person who was sent to walk with God, if it is really simple, then he is not worthy of walking with God.
"At this rate, I'm afraid the time will be shortened to ten years..." Demon Ran once again made a decision based on Qin Lin's speed, "After completing the position of the four gates, plus some troubles along the way, it will be more than ten years." β
"What's the trouble along the way?"
Demon Ran didn't reply, just stretched out a hand and pulled Qin Lin's arm tightly. She wasn't afraid of this way of tearing up space, but here... It seems to be with the realm of nothingness... There was a slight difference, and even she couldn't see what was here.
Qin Lin quickly understood what trouble would be along the way.
The demon beast tribes in the demon domain have a strong sense of territory, and if they don't say hello when they pass through other people's territories, it can be regarded as hostile behavior, if it is some short-tempered people, they will do it if they chase it out directly.
The demon clan is like this, life and death have long been downplayed, and they will do it directly if they are not satisfied.
In the first few months, Qin Lin could be regarded as hiding in Tibet, and there were even a few old monsters with unfathomable cultivation who opened their eyes and took a look, which made Qin Lin tremble in the shadows.
Fortunately, after several experiences, Qin Lin learned to be obedient and began to learn to restrain his breath.
And the Heavenly Gate, thousands of miles behind them, also ushered in the grandest scene in history, tens of thousands of Venerable groups came together, among which there were even several old men with white hair standing in the crowd and talking to each other, they vowed to find the human race that dared to slaughter all demons.
If Qin Lin was still here at the moment, he was afraid that he would be split into the meat in everyone's mouths in an instant, and then absorbed by their bodies, and as for the remaining dregs, it might only be worthy of nourishing this land.
