Chapter 981: Duanmu Island Master
"Before the old decay was tribulated, there was a demon cultivator who offered a few superb demon dragon fruits in order to please the old decay, which is said to have killed the dragon barbarian king and taken it away from his clan. At that time, the Dragon Barbarian King was a late-stage cultivator of the Demon Body. The current Dragon Barbarian King must have been replaced, but his cultivation will not be too high. With our strength, there should be nothing to fear. Dragon Soul said.
"It turned out to be just the late stage of the demon body. Li Muran's heart was relieved.
He is now a monk of the spirit and demon joint cultivation, and the corresponding cultivation realm name is called the spirit and demon combination, referred to as the combination period. Now his cultivation is in the early stage of merging, which is equivalent to the early stage of the spirit body or the beginning of the demon body. However, after all, the strength of the combined spirit and demon cultivators is much higher than that of the demon cultivators and spiritual cultivators of the same realm, plus Li Muran's magical powers are extraordinary, and the divine thoughts, mana, and physical body are all superior, so even if they are late-stage demon body cultivators, very few people can have the strength to fight with him!
Even if the dragon barbarians have some special talents and supernatural powers, even if it is their territory and there are many people, but with the strength of Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy, it is still more than enough for self-protection, not to mention that they also have dragon souls to help.
"Okay, I'll go to Xiyun Island to find out some news first, and then I'll go to Longman Island to steal the magic dragon fruit. Li Muran said.
Not long after, Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy flew to the sky above Xiyun Island, and from a high point in the sky, there were huge black stone pillars thousands of feet high around this huge island, one every dozens of miles, totaling more than 10,000!
What's even more surprising is that these stone pillars all glow with a faint magic light, and the magic light between the stone pillars is connected to each other, forming a huge layer of magic light cover, covering the entire island.
Li Muran was taken aback, such a huge formation was really rare. Moreover, to maintain such a formation, it must cost a lot of magic crystals. If this is the case every day, I am afraid that the consumption of magic crystals will be a terrible number!
"Didn't something happen to Xiyun Island, why did it inspire the Great Array of Zhendao?" asked Li Muran.
The dragon soul said: "That old guy is still so virtuous, it seems that he has still been sitting here for thousands of years!"
Li Muran was puzzled, and the dragon soul continued to explain: "The old guy that the old man said refers to the Duanmu Island master of Xiyun Island. That's a weirdo, and in terms of seniority, he's probably older than the old. ”
Li Muran was shocked: "Then isn't this Duanmu Island Master extremely high in cultivation?"
The dragon soul said: "He can be regarded as one of the monks with the highest cultivation in the Demon Realm! Anyway, at least 10,000 years ago, he was already a monk in the late stage of Mahayana! However, it is extremely difficult to break through to the Tribulation Period. After breaking through, he will presumably immediately try to cross the Flying Immortals. Since this Ten Thousand Phases Great Array is still there, it means that he is most likely still on the island, that is to say, his cultivation should still be in the late stage of Mahayana, and he should have reached the peak of the late stage. ”
"Late Mahayana period!" Li Muran was secretly frightened, and he asked again: "Why did you live on this island if you have cultivated so high?"
"This Duanmu Island Lord is a strange person!" the dragon soul said: "The old man was also a famous big man in the demon world back then, but if he wanted to see him, he was repeatedly turned away!"
"Why is that?" Li Muran became more and more curious.
The dragon soul said: "This Duanmu Island Master is not only very high in cultivation, but more importantly, he is good at divination! And this one of him is probably the only remaining bloodline of the astrology clan, one of the five ancient demon clans!"
"The astrologers are good at divination, and they have cultivated divination to an extremely high level, not only can they divinate good fortunes and misfortunes, but they can also divinate the locations where some supreme treasures may come, or the major events that will happen in the world of cultivating immortals! It is conceivable that if there is an ambitious and powerful powerful monk who wants to plot something, he will definitely hate the astrology clan very much, because the astrology monk is likely to inadvertently expose his meticulous plan in advance. ”
"Therefore, the astrological clan has experienced countless disasters very early, although they are one of the five great demon clans in ancient times, and they can also rely on their talents to seek good fortune and avoid disasters, but they still cannot escape the fate of being wiped out. Only a few astrologers live in seclusion or are attached to other powerful forces. ”
"The astrological clan actually disappeared in the immortal cultivation world a long time ago. Knowing this, the owner of the wood island appeared out of thin air. He is the only Mahayana monk in the astrology clan for tens of thousands of years, but he also lost his vitality because of the abuse of divination in his early years, and he looks sick and sick all day long, and he has no heirs at all. The other astrologers are not many in number, and they don't have a strong bloodline and strong talent like him. If he dies, I am afraid that the astrological clan will be completely extinct. ”
"Many high-level demon cultivators begged the Duanmu Island Lord to divinate for him, but they were all refused. Therefore, the master of this Duanmu Island also offended many monks. However, his cultivation is high, and he has special divination ability, and other high-level demon cultivators don't want to be completely hostile to him, so they won't really trouble him. ”
"This Duanmu Island Lord is also an acquaintance, after he became famous, he came to this remote Xiyun Island, proclaimed himself the island owner, and monopolized a small piece of pure land, but asked other demon cultivators about disputes, and did not divinate for any party, so he did not cause the disaster of killing because of this! With his cultivation strength, no one in the Demon Realm could force him to serve. ”
"Although the old decay was a late Mahayana cultivator, he unexpectedly got an opportunity, so that the demon dragon's body was almost completely cultivated, so it could attract the Flying Immortal Heavenly Tribulation and the Flying Immortal Tribulation in advance. However, this matter is also quite risky, and the old man hopes to ask the owner of Duanmu Island to help him calculate a hexagram and divination. ”
"It's a pity that the old man was preparing for the big event before the ascension, and he couldn't get out, so he sent his clansmen to Xiyun Island with a large number of treasures, and asked the Duanmu Island Lord to do divination, but unfortunately, the Duanmu Island Lord not only agreed, but also killed all the clansmen sent by the old man!"
Li Muran was taken aback: "So, the Duanmu Island Lord has a grudge against the Black Flame Daoist?"
The dragon soul sighed: "The old man has almost never been in contact with him, how can he be hateful! With the consistent style of the Duanmu Island Lord, even if he doesn't agree to help, he shouldn't kill his own clansmen." Thinking about it now, it was probably because of the disobedient nephew Hei Sha who secretly did something! It's a pity that the old man couldn't see through it at that time!"
"Can the Lord of Duanmu Island really calculate the good fortune and predict the future?" Li Muran was skeptical, this divination technique was a bit exaggerated.
The dragon soul said: "The talent of the astrology clan has many legends from ancient times, but it is very old, and there is no way to verify it. In fact, divination is also just for peace of mind, in fact, even if the owner of Duanmu Island takes a hexagram for the old man, saying that the old man is fierce, the old man will most likely continue to try to ascend in advance, but miss that opportunity!"
"After all, if you want to cultivate, you have to cross the late stage of the tribulation, so that you can truly attract the power of heaven and earth mana and trigger the Flying Immortal Tribulation by yourself. In other cases, it's all about chance. The old man knew that it was difficult to reach even the early stage of the Tribulation, and it was rare to have the opportunity to trigger the Flying Immortal Tribulation in advance, how could he miss it! No matter how big the risk was, even if there was only a glimmer of life, he would try his best!"
Li Muran nodded secretly, he understood the dragon soul's approach very well. Although he did not fly to the immortal realm, he flew from the lower realm to the spiritual realm, and he forcibly ascended in advance if he did not cultivate enough, which was extremely dangerous.
However, in that case, Li Muran still chose to risk death and soar. Because cultivation is originally to act against the sky and survive in death, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, we must grasp it with all our might, blindly seeking stability, and the final result is often that the cultivation is stagnant until the longevity is exhausted and death.
It's just that the results of the two are completely different, Li Muran succeeded by luck, and the dragon soul was calculated by his cronies and fell short!
"The Black Flame Daoist told the story of this Duanmu Island Lord, but he hasn't said why he set up such a large-scale Ten Thousand Phases Great Array?" asked the Thousand Illusion Fairy.
The dragon soul continued, "This Ten Thousand Phases is his means of protecting the low-level astrological monks on the island. This Great War of Ten Thousand Phases is very special, it only has a strong repulsive power for monks above the Mahayana period, and has little impact on monks with slightly lower cultivation. In this way, as long as he is on this island, it will be difficult for those Mahayana monks to sneak attack. As for the monks in the demon body stage and below, they dare not be presumptuous. ”
"In addition to the small number of astrologers who are sheltered by the Lord of Duanmu Island here, this Xiyun Island is also a place of refuge for monks of other races. If a monk causes a catastrophe and is wanted by the enemy, he will try his best to escape to Xiyun Island. As long as he does not leave the island, no one dares to hunt down the murderer on the island. Therefore, there are many other monks of all kinds on Xiyun Island. ”
"However, to stay on Xiyun Island for a long time, you need to pay a lot of magic crystals. Even if you just pass by this island, you will have to pay some. Even so, because this island is neutral to all the forces of the demon world, and it is relatively safe, no one dares to do anything on the island, and there is no Mahayana period on the island except for the owner, so there are still many monks who come to this island to practice for various purposes. The magic crystals they paid were enough to maintain the Ten Thousand Phases Great Array, and it was also enough for the cultivation of the astrology monks. ”
"I see!" Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy nodded.
The two of them saw that there was an entrance on each side of the Ten Thousand Phases Great Array, so they flew towards the nearest east entrance.
......
On the Star Picking Peak on Xiyun Island, in a magnificent hall, a hunchbacked old man with only a few sparse white hairs bowed his body, looking intently at a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, fiddling with three hexagrams on the stone table.
Although the young man looked very immature, the movements in his hands were extremely skillful, and the three hexagrams made of the shells of the 10,000-year-old stone turtle tortoise were constantly circling around a silver needle under his control.
The boy pressed his finger lightly against the erect silver needle, causing the silver needle to puncture his finger and a drop of blood flowed out. Strange to say, this blood was instantly absorbed by the silver needle, and the silver needle became red all over.
Finally, the young man stretched out his fingers and flicked a spell, and the three hexagram orders clanged one after another, landing on a four-elephant gossip plate engraved with extremely complex magic patterns under the silver needle.
"How's the hexagram?" the old man nodded with approval and asked with a smile.
The young man recited the mantra silently, and then said in a childish voice: "The daily hexagram is normal, but today's hexagram has some meaning, as if it means that there is a distinguished guest from the east!"
