Inner Demon
"Shenxianpo, what does it mean?"
Shen Siyan wrote these three words on a piece of paper, looked at them again and again, thought about them again and again, but still couldn't figure it out.
Their ship was currently anchored in the Southern Sea, and was only a short distance away from the formation of the Sky Realm Sacred Tree.
"We can't get in." Ji Sheng tried a few times and finally came to the conclusion, "She wants us to wait."
Shen Siyan said: "What are you waiting for? Wait for her to catch a fairy from the sky, or wait for a fairy to fall from the sky?"
After saying that, he raised his head again and laughed, "Maybe one will really fall down."
——
The 80,534th year of the Human Emperor Calendar.
Eastern Territory.
Xu Xike and his group of four sat at the four sides of the square table, and three of them looked at Jiang Zhong expectantly.
He is not dead, he is still alive, and he can come out and share information with them.
My heart finally settled down, having been hanging in the air.
"How is it?" Xu Xike asked impatiently.
"My father, he--" Jiang Zhong probably kept the other three in suspense, and only spoke softly when the remaining three were about to beat him up.
"My father does know."
The investigation into coming and going from Erfeng was actually accidental.
The Eternal Daylight Sea monster plague is growing more severe. While it's still under control, it's not sustainable. Therefore, hundreds of years ago, Luhu students received a mission beyond monster slaying: investigating the origins of the monster plague.
After much investigation, they found that there was a problem with the demon's defense line.
The demons and immortals of Cang Xuan disliked each other, but when faced with major issues, they formed a united front. The Tianji Ranking was just a minor skirmish among young people. In a serious battlefield, the demons, immortals, and demons each led a line of defense. Due to their size advantage, defending was actually quite easy.
They lived in peace like this for many years.
Until the Shura clan inexplicably began to lose members.
The Shura clan has little wisdom but is good at strength. They do not care about life or death. Death is not a fear to them, but a return to the embrace of their ancestral gods. Therefore, when they discover the situation, the situation has already become very serious, and even the defense line is shaky.
While Cang Xuan helped the demons stabilize the border, he also blocked the news.
——Who has the ability to hunt down the Shura who is born with good power?
Eliminate the demons, exclude the human race, exclude the Yongri Sea that was beaten to the point of barely surviving, and exclude the gods and ghosts far above the sky.
Between the monsters and the immortals, the eyes of the human leaders fell on the two peaks where the immortals moved the mountains.
An unprecedented investigation began towards Sheshan. Compared with the mortals with unlimited potential, the immortals who were imprisoned in time were obviously slow. A secret plan against the demons that had been hidden for thousands of years was revealed before Cang Xuan.
It's not even just the demons - those on the Sheshan Tianji List, the elites of the four realms, although not as many as the demons who died, but many also went missing.
Those who practice Taoism can hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening. Life and death are just inevitable.
Moreover, geniuses who have not yet grown up will not receive too much attention. Even if they disappear one after another, it will not cause much waves in the entire Cang Xuan.
When the bloody truth is revealed before your eyes, no matter how unbelievable it is, you will have to believe it.
Then came Cang Xuan’s own actions.
To resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation. Within every faction, there are different voices, some truly foolish and evil, while others are merely mediocre—indifferent and unconcerned, and nothing can stop them.
For this group of people, the Four Sects and the Human Emperor, after reaching a consensus, were so cruel that it was terrifying - no one could escape death.
"In the past hundred years, many people have died in the four realms."
They have different identities, including high-ranking members of the sect, independent cultivators, and even some powerful people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
At first, I just thought he died in a fight, in a demon disaster, or in exploration.
Now I know that it was a complete bloodbath.
"My father said that Cang Xuan only needs a voice."
The other three were all shocked. They suddenly realized that this was a war of life and death.
Either defect to the Immortal Clan or fight to the end.
It is even so extreme that there is no room for negotiation.
In fact, for the human race itself, it doesn't matter whether they switch sides or not. They have a close relationship with the immortals and have always been making small moves to resist the way of heaven. It is normal for them to cooperate with the immortals.
——But, mortals are fearless.
They were born with a rebellious bone, so they are always on the road of rebellion.
At that time, Jiang Zhong asked his father, have you ever thought about sacrificing the demons, monsters, and ghosts in exchange for that slight possibility?
His father replied that he had thought about it.
But that's not right.
A specific person can be immoral, incorrect, mean, shameless, insidious and cunning.
But the entire human race cannot.
For 80,000 years, human beings have always been walking on the glorious road.
The four people at the table were silent for a moment.
These are things they have not yet encountered. To Cang Xuan, they are still too young.
Without them knowing, their parents took on everything.
"My father is going to become an immortal." Jiang Zhong said.
They know about the so-called immortals.
The difference between immortals and mortals is actually a secret compared to their current cultivation level.
Seeking immortality and asking for the Tao is a lifelong goal for cultivators. If they knew about the so-called "immortals" in advance, their Tao hearts would inevitably be unstable. Therefore, only those who have passed the barrier of life and death and entered the tribulation period are qualified to know this matter.
It was just a "coincidence". One time, an immortal came to visit the house and talked about this matter. He forgot to close the door, so he naturally knew it.
They knew many secrets, and this was just one of them. Although it was shocking, they didn't take it seriously.
Unfortunately, at that time, they did not understand the phrase "God's will".
"Jiang Fengchang is not..." Feng Ruoshui hesitated to speak.
The Jiang family was in charge of ceremonies, and the position of the Nine Ministers of Ceremonies was almost hereditary. Jiang Zhong's father, Jiang Zhuo, was this Minister of Ceremonies.
He is currently in a very successful career, which is the best thing in the world. In other words, it doesn't make sense.
"He's going to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Monument. If a fight really breaks out, the Ghost Path can't fall into the hands of the Immortal Path."
There was another silence.
It's not just the Six Paths of Reincarnation Monument. Cang Xuan doesn't believe that all the immortals are in cahoots with each other. He has another purpose in going up there, which is to contact the immortals in the fairy world who are unaware of the situation.
There is no one more suitable than him who understands etiquette and knows history.
"Not only my father, many people will go up this time..."
Of course, they have to be arranged in batches. So what if the fairy world is old and corrupt? Every fairy was once the pinnacle of humanity.
For mortals like them, even resistance needs to be done slowly.
Xu Xike inexplicably felt his eyes a little sore.
“So what can we do?”
There was nothing they could do. This war was too far away for them now.
Just like on Sheshan Mountain, he could only watch the dead demon boy.
He suddenly felt that seeking immortality in this life was nothing more than this.
The world was ignorant for hundreds of years. When Xu Xike took over his father's golden lantern, he also took over his father's position as Sima.
At this time, Feng Ruoshui became the new head of the Feng family, and the lively Jiang Zhong also became the imperial ceremonial official.
The four of them gathered again, but they could no longer just find a restaurant and sit around a table like before.
They also became "big shots" that others flocked to.
"Chonglou is still better. You can walk around."
As the illegitimate son of the patriarch of the Hua family and a descendant of Hua Xu, he even learned his skills in the Feng family.
Even his last name is "Hua", not "Hua".
Hua Chonglou himself didn't have any thoughts on this.
"Let's take a walk and have a look. It's really nice, but there are more flies on the road."
Although everything has not been made public yet, as more and more people on the Tianji List disappear, some smart people have realized that this is not a list of talents, but a death warrant.
"He Loulan is still so arrogant. Even after knowing the truth, she still stands at the top of the Tianji Ranking." Xu Xike suddenly laughed, "Even the immortals can't do anything to her."
Some people are born for the Dao. In the past, the four of them could occasionally win by relying on their cleverness, but now, after a while, when it comes to cultivation alone, He Loulan has left them far behind. Hua Chonglou, the most advanced among them, is only in the middle stage of the Fusion Realm, while He Loulan has already transcended the tribulation.
Hua Chonglou always looked down on others, but this time he praised her, "She is indeed good."
Then he suddenly said, "I plan to climb Sheshan again."
The other three were stunned and looked at him.
Hua Chonglou pointed to his chest and said, "There is a demon in my heart. If I don't deal with it, I will have a hard time overcoming the tribulation."
…
"I have inner demons."
Changxia played the black pieces first, but at the 122nd move, when the situation was looking good, he made a fatal mistake.
Xijiang pinched the white piece with two fingers and stopped it in the air, not knowing whether his next step should be to pursue the victory and kill it all.
Chang Xia smiled and said, "Ajiang, you also have inner demons."
She held the chess piece in Xijiang's hand and helped him place it on the chessboard.
"What are you afraid of? If you think you are the enemy, you should kill him with your sword."
Xi Jiang suddenly asked, "Senior Sister, what is your inner demon?"
Xie Fengxue?
Or Cang Xuan, Yun Ting, or Cang Feng Mountain
But neither is true.
Chang Xia replied: "It's me."
The four realms are now ready for her. With just a light order from her, Cang Xuan will be plunged into another unprecedented war.
At this moment she was extremely calm.
She suddenly thought of Ji Sheng, the high-spirited young emperor whom she had never seen.
Was he like this back then?
He lost that year, will she lose this time too?
I don’t know, it doesn’t matter.
So what.
She was no longer at the age where her hands would tremble when excited. When the chess piece landed steadily on the chessboard, she said softly, "Let's start."
Then, in the eastern region, the layers of mountains seemed to be slowly split apart by something, and the ferocious arrows of the giant crossbows were pointing towards the sky.
Immortals don't actually live in heaven; they reside in another time and space. However, as three crossbow arrows were fired, piercing space and time, the gate to heaven where mortals ascended thousands of years ago emerged from the clouds.
Changxia lowered his eyes and made another move.
Once upon a time, overcoming tribulations and ascending to heaven was also her dream.
Xi Jiang said, "I read an ancient book and found a strange story in it."
Changxia listened to him quietly. Xijiang was a conservative and polite person. He would not talk nonsense at this time.
"It is said that this gate to heaven was broken open ten thousand years ago."
She had also heard this story when she was a child and longed for it.
It’s a pity that the records in Yunting’s classics are incomplete, or perhaps someone deliberately concealed it, so she doesn’t even know the name of that senior.
"Senior Sister, a few days ago, Zhuzhu was helping the Queen find a book, and suddenly came across the second half of this story—"
