75. Advent (2)
But the little demons did not entangle him at all, and pulled him into the middle of the clearing, and cut off his head with a clean knife, and the blood in his head and neck splattered several feet high. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, the minotaur grabbed a ghost hovering back and forth at its side and squeezed it hard...... Ghosts are supposed to be "physically immune", but in the hands of the Minotaur this law is completely invalid. Huang Chang could feel the ghost erupt from far away with a miserable howl, and a cloud of green light flickered between the Minotaur's fingers, and then disappeared forever.
As the sacrifices of people and ghosts were delivered one after another, above the clearing, the originally dark sky gradually began to shine with a glimmer of light. The lion spirit looked up, then lowered his head again, and slit his arm with a dagger, dripping a wisp of blood on the ground.
The light in the sky became more and more conspicuous, and at this time, the witch man, who had been keeping his head down, finally raised his head to the sky and let out a roar towards the sky. Immediately, he stretched out his claws and grabbed his chest...... Several streaks of blood appeared, and soon dripped black plasma.
Humans, demons, witches, and ghosts, the four clans have them, and they have already seen blood and casualties - this seems to be a necessary condition for opening the "Heavenly Demon Sacrifice". The original intention may be to hope that these four races will kill each other first, as described in those petroglyphs, until the "Heavenly Demons" come down to pick up the mess and pick up the bargain?
- But unfortunately, those heavenly monsters obviously underestimated the ability of the nether creatures to exploit loopholes. Even the demon clan, which is known for its simplicity and recklessness, actually prepared everything in advance. It is estimated that if it weren't for the fact that the Wu barbarians were really difficult to capture and domesticate, they might even be able to cover the share of the Wu barbarians.
Now, there is bloodshed, there are casualties, but the real fighting force is ...... At this time, they all clenched their weapons and opened their mouths wide, waiting for the heavenly "guests" to hurry down so that they could give them a warm welcome.
Of course, in Huang Chang's eyes, the demon clan's methods are still a little rougher, if we human monks are replaced to handle this matter, probably even the witch barbarians can be prepared in advance, and they will never allow other races to get a piece of the pie here...... In the final analysis, it is still the loss of insufficient intelligence, if it had been known that there are such strange things in this space, the arrangement of Kunlun Mountain must be more meticulous and thoughtful.
When Huang Chang was spinning various thoughts in his heart, he suddenly felt a special reaction, and he immediately reached out and took out an object from his arms...... Including the Kunlun disciples around him, as well as all the hired cultivators who came in with them, all did the same thing - took out a talisman from their body. This is deliberately not placed in the storage space, because only on the outside can the talisman feel the surrounding anomalies and show corresponding anomaly changes.
- The talisman is glowing, indicating that it is in a state where it can be activated and used. There is another space outside of this area, and if the talisman is activated now, they will be teleported there.
Of course, no one would do that, because everyone could guess, or even see, what that space meant—at this moment, the sky in front of that clearing was getting redder. There was a crater with its mouth facing down, and it looked like an upside-down cauldron in which large clouds of red smoke swirled. Through the gaps in the smoke clouds, it was faintly visible that there were countless red fire balls flying around it, and there were wild laughter, crying, and all kinds of breathtaking magic sounds bursting out of it. If the mental strength is not strong enough and the spirit is unstable, this voice alone makes people feel trembling. I can't help but have all kinds of negative emotions such as timidity, madness, and confusion.
"Is there the Demon Realm behind that?"
The immortal cultivators present looked up at the clouds in the sky, and an indescribable awe arose in their hearts.
- "Demon" is said to be born in the demon world, which is the embodiment of various evil thoughts and evil deeds in heaven and earth, and has always been regarded as a certain taboo existence in the world of cultivating immortals. It never ended well with that thing. For example, the most ruthless thing for monks when gambling on curses is the so-called "heart demon oath", and those who violate the oath will inevitably be attacked by the devil, and the path of cultivation will be cut off.
And the reason why a monster is terrifying is that it is not just an ethereal thing, it can only be used on a psychological level. They can attach to any living creature and control its movements, they can also condense their forms and assassinate them secretly, and they can teleport their real entities from the Demon Realm through spatial passages. Its combat power is said to be the lowest, and it is close to that of the Fa Yuan Monk, which is even more difficult to deal with.
Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the world of cultivating immortals: if you want to deal with monsters, most of them still have to rely on monks in the Fayuan period. A mortal Qi refining stage cultivator fights against monsters, just like a mortal martial artist faces a demon with extraordinary power - if he is not afraid of death, he can go up and fight, but if he is not careful, he can easily lose his life.
The people here are all Qi refining period monks, whether they are sect monks or casual cultivators, as long as they have been taught by their teachers, they are all warned to them: If you can hide when you encounter monsters, you must not be reckless.
But on the other hand, one of the most basic rules of the Immortal Cultivation Realm still applies here: the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. The path of cultivation for immortal cultivators is itself an eternal path that is entangled with all kinds of demons and distractions. In the early stage, immortal cultivators mainly focus on strengthening the body, and in the later stage, they mainly refine the divine soul. At that stage, the biggest enemies that hinder their progress are all kinds of demons.
Generally, there is not enough knowledge of loose cultivation or small sects, but the major sects such as Xi Kunlun are experienced, and the content of their teachings is often ahead of their time when teaching disciples. For example, Huang Chang and the others once heard their predecessors talk about it: After an immortal cultivator reaches the Fayuan stage, basically every time he advances, every time he improves his realm, he will inevitably have to entangle with all kinds of demons. Sometimes it's the inner demons, sometimes it's the yin demons that emerge from the Nine Shadows, and sometimes it's the Heavenly Demon Tribulation that descends out of thin air, in short, it will never be smooth.
Especially when it comes to the level when Fa Yuan breaks the golden pill, the "Heart Slashing Demon" is a must-pass level. This "slash" is not a false finger, but a demon who is born from himself and grows up at the same time as the immortal cultivator himself. And as long as this demon is not too stupid, he will often escape into the demon world and hide. If the demons are not removed, the monk will never achieve the golden pill.
Therefore, all monks who have cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Fa Yuan Stage and want to pursue the Yudan will inevitably have a trip to the Demon Realm.
