Chapter 306: What's Next?
You must know that it is very difficult for a cultivator to obtain an artifact, and as an artifact, it is not easy to find a master who can be trusted, and the relationship between the artifact and the owner is quite intimate.
After recognizing Shennong the Great as the master, Shennong's hoe's strength has been greatly improved, and then in the battle of Xianlu, he met Yi Guangjian again.
Following the Shennong hoe after the Emperor Shennong, the strength has surpassed the Yiguang Sword, and the Shennong Emperor is an invincible existence on the earth at that time, the combination of the Yiguang Sword and its demon cultivator master at that time is far from the opponent of the Shennong Emperor who is holding the Shennong hoe, and it was cut into two sections by the Shennong hoe in the hands of the Shennong Emperor with a sword in one move. The master was dead, and Yi Guangjian saw that Shennong hoe had the intention of killing him, so he didn't dare to stay, and fled the battlefield with injuries, leaving the cut half of the sword blade there.
After that, the injured Yiguang Sword was obtained by a Demon Sect cultivator, but he never recognized this person as the master, and that person could only take the Yiguang Sword with him, but he could not draw the sword against the enemy. That demon cultivator was the skeleton that Tian Xu saw at this time.
However, this person was not just an ordinary Ning Dan Realm as Tian Xu had guessed, but a body cultivator. This person's strength should be comparable to that of the Yuan Shen Realm Earth Immortal, and it is much stronger than the current Tian Xu.
That demon cultivator died here, it should have happened more than 10,000 years ago. It was the first time when the Demon Gate broke out on the earth, at that time, the spiritual energy resources on the earth were still relatively rich, and the realm of the earth cultivators was relatively high, there were still more Yuan Shen Realm cultivators like this demon cultivator, and the most powerful local cultivator on the earth was the legendary Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of Yanhuang, and his realm had already entered the heavenly level. At the same time, there are also powerful native spirit beasts in the sea that have entered the heaven-level. The overall strength of the earth's native cultivators is still quite strong.
Corresponding to the earth cultivators, the demon gate at that time was also extremely powerful, and under the leadership of Chi You, the master of the demon gate who was also a heaven level, he started a big battle with the earth cultivators.
Chi You led a large number of demon cultivators and demonic beasts, but he was still defeated by the Earth Cultivator Alliance, and was defeated on land and had to retreat to the ocean.
The Demon Gate designed and killed the most powerful spirit beast mirage in the ocean, occupied the vast ocean and confronted the Righteous Path Alliance, attacking everywhere according to the vast coastline, making the Righteous Path exhausted, and the two sides could not hold each other, and the war lasted for a hundred years, and it was still difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
Later, the Yellow Emperor poured out land resources and established a powerful formation along the periphery of the Pacific Ocean, lured the main force of the Demon Gate into the Pacific Ocean, used the formation to trap it, and then surrounded and killed them one by one.
After being surrounded, Momen found that the weak points of this circle formation were concentrated in the vicinity of the Kuril Islands and the Aleutian Islands, which were connected by the island chain defense formation, as well as the wide sea area between South America and Antarctica.
The Demon Gate first concentrated on attacking the island chain defense formation, only to find that there were a large number of killing formations hidden in this formation. After these killing formations attracted the demon cultivators and demonic beasts to the vicinity, they killed them with strong spiritual power, and hid the corpses of the killed ones under the formation, continuing to lure more demonic cultivators and demonic beasts to their deaths. When Chi You found out that this was a trap, nearly half of the main force of the Demon Gate had been wiped out here.
The Demon Gate, which had suffered a serious loss of strength, was no longer able to confront the righteous path head-on, and under the leadership of Chi You, it broke through to the sea area between southern South America and Antarctica, and the specific situation was not clear.
However, Yi Guangjian clearly remembered that the demon cultivators and demonic beasts at that time were attracted by the large number of spiritual energy resources that emerged here, and the demon cultivator who did not recognize the lord was attracted here and killed here. Subsequently, more and more demon cultivators and demonic beasts died here, and after the death of those demonic cultivators and demonic beasts above the earth fairy realm, their bodies turned into pure aura and dissipated here, while the low-level demonic cultivators and demonic beasts were gradually decomposed here, and finally only a skeleton remained.
"At that time, this was still a land by the sea," Yi Guangjian recalled, "Later, the number of demon cultivators and demonic beasts who came here to die gradually decreased, until one day, all the volcanoes erupted at the same time, and huge energy rushed to the sea at the same time, and the huge waves as high as 100 zhang surged, and Chi You's desperate roar resounded throughout the world: 'Yellow Emperor, you hurt people with tricks, you are not a good man!'"
Since then, Yiguang Sword has never heard from Chiyou and the Demon Gate, and this powerful formation has never been activated. "There is plenty of spiritual energy here, and I am slowly accumulating vitality here to repair my injuries. I'm just an artifact, and I don't have any special pursuits, so there's nothing wrong with staying here quietly, and that's it, I've stayed here until I was discovered by you this time. He pointed at Tian Xu and said.
"Haven't you felt anything abnormal recently?" Tian Xu asked, "Recently, there have been signs of an outbreak in the Demon Gate, and the vicinity of the Immortal Road and the Kunlun Mountain area have been the most noisy, haven't you found any demonic beasts or demonic cultivators here?"
Yi Guangjian thought about it carefully and said, "Where are there any signs of the outbreak of the Demon Gate? Recently, there have been one or two Demon Cultivators and Demon Beasts who have been here, and they are all small shrimps in the Ning Dan Realm and the Sainthood Realm, and they are just inconsequential existences. With these little minions alone, it will definitely not cause the defensive formation to activate. ”
Isn't it enough to become a saint realm? What kind of strong person does it need to appear before the demon gate erupts? Tian Xu was a little puzzled, but the purple smoke interface that had just arrived said: "Now that the earth's spiritual energy is very scarce, the holy realm is already the highest realm known. You don't know, there has been no cultivator in the cultivation world for more than a hundred years who has successfully crossed the tribulation, and it was not until last year that there was one person in the righteous path who successfully crossed the tribulation, and this year there were another Great Elder of the Demon Sect and one righteous path who successfully crossed the tribulation. ”
"If that's the case, then the demonic beasts that have appeared in the last one or two years are not normal," Yi Guangjian said, "Usually I don't necessarily see a demonic beast once in tens or hundreds of years, but I have seen dozens of times in the last year or so, and I have seen two sixth-level demonic beasts." It seems that the Demon Gate is indeed about to break out. ”
Hearing what Yi Guangjian said, Tian Xu said: "On land, the Demon Gate has already broken out, and the secular humans have withdrawn from the Kunlun and Tianshan areas, and now it is already the world of demonic beasts at that time, and only the righteous path cultivators are still fighting them there. The situation near Central America is also very serious, and we just wanted to check out the situation near Xianlu this time. ”
"Central America is very close to the fairy road, and we are also worried about the problem of the fairy road. Tian Xu added.
Hearing that there might be a problem with the fairy road, Yi Guangjian was shocked and said: "If there is a problem with the fairy road, it will be troublesome, if the fairy road is opened by the demon gate, it is possible for the fairy world to directly obtain the location coordinates of the earth from there and attack the earth." With the strength of the current earth's native cultivators, it is completely impossible to resist. ”
Immediately, he realized a new problem: "You two little human-level cultivators, even if you find that there is a problem with the Immortal Road, you have no way to deal with it." Is there really no one in your cultivation world?"
Tian Xu smiled bitterly: "Even if there are masters, there are only two Saint Realms that can be confirmed. However, there should be some higher realms, but not much higher. Fortunately, the realm of our cultivation realm is generally low, so the demon gate is not much higher, and with such a realm, it is also wishful thinking to open the immortal path. We went to Xianlu this time, just to see what Xianlu looked like. In addition, there is another purpose, which is to find the root cause of the outbreak of the Demon Gate and find their lair so that we can deal with them. ”
Yi Guangjian said, "That makes sense. However, the old nest of the Demon Gate should be in the sea, where there should be at least a high-level demon cultivator or a demonic beast above the seventh level that exceeds the Holy Realm, you two little Ning Dan, in front of them are scum-like existences, dare to explore in this sea, the courage is not small. ”
Listening to Yi Guangjian's words, Tian Xu also felt that he was really a bit risky to come to the ocean this time, if he encountered a high-level demonic beast, he couldn't deal with it, but if the artifact around him made a move, it was really inappropriate. However, what is the situation of the immortal road, he still has to explore it, this is a dilemma, and it is quite difficult for him to decide.
Ziyan said: "Even if we are in the ocean, we will not go to the deep sea, like now, along the island chain that forms the defensive formation, there will be no big problem." By the way, Yi Guangjian, can these formations still be used now? at least they should have a certain deterrent effect on the demonic beasts, right?"
Yi Guangjian said: "Although I know some things about these formations, but I was already trapped here at the time, who knows the specific situation of the formations? Not to mention that I am just an artifact, not a cultivator, and I don't understand the formation method at all." ”
Yao Wang Dou looked at Yin Yang Ding and asked his opinion: "Xiao Ding, you have been active in the world, and you know more about the formation than we do, you say it's better to be selfish?"
Yin Yang Ding said: "I can't say this anymore. However, if there were only seventh-level demonic beasts in the ocean, I should still be able to keep Oda Xu safe and sound. Anyway, Tian Xu is the master, so I'll just follow. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that he was inclined to continue to explore. It's just that although he is an artifact, combat is not something he is good at, so he doesn't dare to do it all.
Shennong Hoe said, "What is there to worry about? As a cultivator, battle is the strongest motivation for advancement. Tian Xu's current realm is too low, if he wants to win a place in this world where the strong are respected, he still has to temper a lot and advance as soon as possible. "This is a warmonger, where there is fighting, where he wants to go, although he has not fully recovered, he is already longing for a hearty fight.
Yi Guangjian said: "Since everyone has hijacked to continue exploring, then I will also hijack." If there's going to be a fight, call me at the end. Although several of you are artifacts and your grades are higher than mine, I am the one who specializes in combat, and you are not good at fighting. In fact, he couldn't look down on the combat effectiveness of Shennong's hoe at this time, since Shennong's hoe was not afraid, what else was there to fear?
