412 There is another Mahayana master in the Demon Realm
According to the confessions of three demon cultivators in the fusion stage, the demon realm in the demon world is similar to the Tiancheng spiritual world, and many strange monsters often appear.
It was only thanks to the timely elimination of the monsters by the guards sent by the royal capital that these monsters were prevented from escaping from the realm of spirits and demons and causing a disaster.
These three cultivators in the fusion stage knew a lot of information. After asking Daoist Master Zhuyue, he found that it was not appropriate to have a conflict with the demons now.
There are many monks in the Tribulation Crossing Stage on the opposite side, and they don’t have enough people, so they will definitely suffer a loss if a fight really breaks out.
Therefore, they tried to keep a low profile as much as possible on the way to the realm of spirits and demons, and they restrained their aura along the way to avoid being discovered by the demons.
The second elder looked at the scorching sun and the cloudless sky above his head and sighed, "This place is really different from the Tiancheng Spirit Realm. There are no clouds covering the surroundings, no cloud beasts, and even the sun is a real sun..."
Halfway through her speech, she was observing the sun when she suddenly realized something was wrong and stopped talking.
The others noticed her abnormality and looked at the sun intently. They were shocked: "Is that a dead golden crow?"
The Tiancheng Spirit World now relies entirely on the Golden Crow for lighting. The people and monsters present are no strangers to this, but it is the first time for them to see such a huge Golden Crow corpse.
Qiu Yeluo said thoughtfully: "I have seen some records of other spiritual realms in ancient books. Some spiritual realms do have real suns, while others rely entirely on the Golden Crow for illumination."
"The Tiancheng Spirit Realm originally had a real sun, but later due to the Immortal War, the world was shattered and the sun disappeared. Immortal Master Mingchen transformed the scattered sun's fire into the Golden Crow, which led to the current situation where all forces have signed contracts with the Golden Crow and the Golden Crow provides light for them."
Everyone knows these things, and Qiu Yeluo only said them to start a discussion. What he really wants to say is, "After the death of the Golden Crow, it will turn into the sun. Essence will dissipate in the world. If it is not handled carefully, it may even cause a large-scale loss of control of the sun. Essence fire. This Golden Crow seems to have been dead for many years, so why can it still rise in the east and set in the west and act as the sun?"
No one could answer this question, and they all looked at Taoist Master Zhuyue who had arrived in the Demon Realm first.
Taoist Master Zhuyue lived up to expectations: "I went to check on the condition of this Golden Crow. It was able to continue burning after its death because someone ignited the cultivation in its body. This Golden Crow was most likely a Mahayana cultivator when he was alive."
"Another Mahayana stage? Besides the Demon Lord, are there other Mahayana stage masters in the Demon Realm?" Ao Yu was a little annoyed.
Originally, he thought that he was a child of destiny as he had advanced to the Tribulation Stage at such a young age. However, after coming to the Demon Realm, he discovered that the Tribulation Stage was nothing at all.
There are hundreds of people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage hiding in the Demon Realm King’s Capital!
Not to mention that there is a missing Mahayana Demon Lord who may appear at any time.
"How did he die?" asked the second elder.
"There is a wound that penetrates his forehead and heart, destroying his soul. It looks like a gunshot wound." said Taoist Master Zhuyue.
Everyone remembered at the same time that Demon Lord Jiang Xiao's weapon was a spear: "Did the Demon Lord kill him?"
Taoist Master Zhuyue had no evidence, so he did not jump to conclusions easily: "It is possible. But when I went to check the body of Jinwu, I found this."
He raised his hand and a blurry black mist appeared in his palm.
Just by seeing this thing, the Second Elder and others felt irritated and wanted to get angry for no reason.
Fortunately, all of them were cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and they quickly realized that something was wrong. While controlling their emotions, they subconsciously stayed away from the black mist in the hands of Taoist Master Zhuyue.
"Dad, what is this?" Chu Yu asked shamelessly.
Taoist Master Zhuyue glared at him and didn't bother with him at this time: "This is what I found in the body of the Golden Crow. You should have all felt the rapid growth of evil in your body just now, right?"
Thinking of Jiang Xin's description of Jiang Xiao, the Second Elder blurted out: "Is this an evil thought?"
Taoist Master Zhuyue nodded and said, "This is the evil thought left in Jinwu's body. I suspect that he might have been controlled by the evil thought back then, and Jiangxiao had no choice but to kill him."
There are also evil thoughts in the Tiancheng spiritual world, but because the overall wind direction is relatively good, the evil thoughts cannot cause any waves and are not taken seriously by these monks in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Mu Zisong found it incredible: "How could a great Mahayana cultivator be controlled by something as insignificant as evil thoughts?"
Taoist Master Zhuyue saw things more clearly than he did: "The evil thoughts accumulated in the demon world are far beyond those in the natural spiritual world. I have been here for a few days, and whenever I meet someone whose cultivation is not inferior to mine, they all want to take away my spiritual energy and vitality."
"They have been trapped in the poverty and desolation of this place for too long. In order to survive, they have no choice but to resort to any means necessary, which has led to a surge in evil thoughts."
"You've seen along the way that, except for a few cities that are still inhabited, the rest of the places are dead and lifeless."
"The low-level demons in the city can survive only because the demon world's high-ranking officials are relatively clear-headed and strictly prohibit demon cultivators from fighting and killing people in the city."
"Otherwise, if they were like the Devourer, completely disregarding the lives of others in order to survive and only wanting to absorb all vitality and spiritual energy, the Demon Realm would have perished long ago."
As the autumn leaves fell, I suddenly remembered a poem I had read before I founded the Qiuye Dynasty: There was a great famine and people ate each other.
In the face of life and death, there is no difference between mortals and monks.
Ao Yu found it hard to imagine: "How deep a sinister thought can be to control a Mahayana cultivator?
Recalling what Jiang Xin said, the second elder said with lingering fear: "Perhaps it is not only the evil thoughts accumulated here from the demon world, but also the evil thoughts erupted from the rest of the spirit world destroyed by the Devourer."
It makes sense that countless evil thoughts in the spiritual world and countless living beings can drive a Mahayana cultivator crazy.
Ao Yu felt a rare chill in his heart: "This Golden Crow has been controlled by evil thoughts. Will the Demon Lord Jiang Xiao, who is also in the Mahayana stage, also be controlled by evil thoughts?"
This is exactly what Taoist Master Zhuyue is worried about.
There must be a reason why Jiang Xiao went to the Tiancheng spiritual world.
Taoist Master Zhuyue initially suspected that Jiangxiao wanted to attack the Tiancheng spiritual world again to find a way for the demons to survive.
But after questioning three demons in the fusion stage, he learned that Jiang Xiao did not summon them when he invaded the Tiancheng spiritual world not long ago, so he knew that he had guessed wrong.
After all, there are a limited number of cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and it is impossible for them to do everything by themselves.
The cultivators in the fusion stage are top masters no matter where they are. If one wants to attack the Tiancheng spiritual world, it is impossible not to summon them.
Apart from this, the rest of the cultivators in the demon world knew nothing about this, and they didn’t even know that the demon Jiang Xiao had briefly lifted the seal.
This shows that the invasion that occurred on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month last year was a completely secret operation by the top leaders of the demon world, and there must be other hidden meanings behind it.
After seeing the tragic situation in the Demon Realm, Taoist Master Zhuyue even hoped that Jiangxiao of Tianshui Sect could recover his memory quickly so that he could talk to him about his plans.
The other party is a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, and maybe he can see through things that he, who is at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage, cannot see through.
As they were talking, the group saw an endless wetland shrouded in thick fog not far away.
Everyone's face darkened.
They knew that it was the realm of spirits and demons without being reminded.
It looks exactly the same as the realm of spirits and demons in the Tiancheng spiritual world.
Taoist Master Zhuyue put away the black mist in his hand, glanced at the people around him, and said in a deep voice: "Concentrate your breath, let's go in and take a look."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, blending themselves into the surrounding environment, avoiding the patrolling guards around them, and following the footsteps of Taoist Master Zhuyue, sneaking silently into the thick fog.
No matter what grudges there are in the past, let them be put aside at this time.
