"A cultivator should be pure-hearted and free from worldly desires. Junior Brother Weng, you are taking too many people into consideration. These people will be used by the Heavenly Tribulation when you are overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation, and will become the weakness that causes you to fail in overcoming the Tribulation."
"I don't think so."
Several old men discuss matters related to tribulation and cultivation on a daily basis. At their level, what they care about most is the tribulation of the inner demon, and most of their energy is focused on this.
As a large cross-domain sect, the Qionghua Sect naturally has information related to overcoming tribulations.
Mei Xuan has already reached the stage of perfect accumulation of foundation building, so he has naturally read many books on the subject, especially the inner demon calamity, which is his top priority.
"Humans have seven emotions and six desires, including joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."
Weng Jiang shook his head. The path he took was different from Mei Xuan's. Until now, Weng Jiang still protected his family. Although his blood relatives within the family were separated from him by several generations, he still protected his family and believed that this was the meaning of cultivating immortals. Because of this concept, he had many arguments with Mei Xuan.
"Family affection is also a part of cultivation. Brother, you are too extreme. Being ruthless is the wrong path, and it will only lead to the inner demons taking advantage of you."
The two discussed for a while, but neither could convince the other.
Gong Cheng next to them was different from the other two. This old man was taciturn and rarely spoke. Chen Luo had been here for several months and had only said one sentence to him.
"Is the old demon about to wake up?"
Chen Luo's attention was all on the blood pool, and he had been observing it for the past few days. Bubbles slowly appeared on the surface of the blood pool, which was a sign that the old monster below was reviving.
"Junior Brother Chen, who of us do you think is right?" Mei Xuan and Weng Jiang looked over after the argument.
This is considered a daily routine.
"Both brothers are right."
Chen Luo replied perfunctorily, and seeing this the other two were too lazy to ask him any more questions. As for the third person, Gong Cheng, they were already familiar with his personality and were too lazy to even ask him.
Chen Luo continued to practice while the Heart Demon Technique was running. Although the old demon had not revived, the Blood Pond was the best place for him. Here, the Heart Demon Technique ran very fast and there was no interference. After joining the Qionghua Sect, Chen Luo's life became more peaceful. Except for occasionally going out to do some medicine refining tasks, he rested in the Blood Pond Chamber.
Compared to the tranquility of the Qionghua Sect, the situation in the evil cultivation area is different.
After the birthday of Black Stone Patriarch, the evil cultivation land became more and more turbulent. Black Stone Patriarch's actions became more and more violent in secret. Under his stirring behind the scenes, the entire evil cultivation land became a mess. Every once in a while, a strong man died because of the "Secret Art of Forming Dan". Everyone was like crazy, fighting desperately.
There are also many cases where relatives and friends turn against each other.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the evil cultivation area, more and more people infiltrated the Qionghua Sect, and no one knew how many people secretly joined the Qionghua Sect. As an inner sect elder of the Qionghua Sect, Chen Luo could easily see these news that others had to pay a lot of money to buy.
call out!
A stream of light flew in from outside and Chen Luo caught it with one hand.
The white light faded, revealing something underneath, a black communication talisman. The communication talisman was sent by Ding Zhao. Ever since Chen Luo used the "Li Dai Tao Jiang Technique" to leave last time, the situation of Gu Wang Peak has become somewhat passive. The market under its name has been impacted, and the thirteen family caravans that had originally spread out have also been attacked by unknown forces, and have been shrinking in the past six months.
Fortunately, there is a second-order formation arranged by Chen Luo on Gu Wang Peak. Unless the Black Stone Ancestor takes action, other foundation-building masters dare not come here. The title of "Alchemy Master" is still there, and no one wants to bring trouble to themselves, just like the Gu Demon Han Jiu who disappeared for several years and no one dared to go to Gu Wang Peak.
".The above is the recent situation of Guwang Peak."
Chen Luo stretched out his hand and crushed the communication talisman in his hand into powder. Ding Zhao was indeed a disciple from the Shenhu Immortal Sect. He handled the debris in the mountain very well. Chen Luo had previously sent him a message and left him a task, asking him to take Mu Xiaoyu, the disciple of Yinfeng Shangren with a natural spiritual root, into the mountain.
A disciple with natural spiritual roots is worthy of his attention.
During this period of time, Ding Zhao's main focus has been on dealing with this matter. As soon as he completed the task a few days ago, he reported the situation to them.
"A letter from home?"
Mei Xuan and the others also noticed the movement. This kind of inter-regional communication talisman is not cheap. Chen Luo himself is also a part-time second-level talisman master. Other cultivators will definitely not be as extravagant as him. The second-level communication talisman is used for relatively urgent information.
"Some trivia."
Chen Luo did not elaborate, and the two did not ask any more questions. The cave became quiet again, with only the calm blood pool bubbling up.
At the bottom of the blood pool, a man with disheveled hair and his body shackled with iron chains sat on the edge of the stone wall, slowly spitting bubbles out of his mouth.
Time passed, and several months passed in a flash.
It was the 25th year of Chen Luo's cultivation, which was also the 20th year since he left Shenhu Xianmen. His spiritual power had increased by two levels again, reaching eighty-five, and he was getting closer and closer to the late stage of perfection.
In the past few months, the old guy in the blood pool erupted again. Chen Luo took advantage of the opportunity of the old guy's eruption to successfully upgrade two spiritual power dragons. The distribution ratio of the inner demons is still the same as last time, 70% for him and 10% for the remaining three people.
It was originally thought that the situation would be quiet for a while after this suppression, but no one expected that the old demon would riot again after only two months of calm. This time, even with Chen Luo's help, Elder Gong Cheng had reached his limit and was forced to apply for leave. After Elder Gong Cheng left, the number of blood pool defenders became three again.
Right now the Qionghua Sect is at a critical juncture of invading the land of evil cultivators. They cannot find any cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, so they did not send any more reinforcements here. Anyway, there are three of them, so they can hold on for a while.
After two consecutive riots, Chen Luo's Heart Demon Art was pushed to its limit and his spiritual power increased to eighty-six.
During this process, Chen Luo sensed a problem.
The gap in the blood pool's formation seal has become larger. The old demon has been trapped down there for so many years, and every time he riots, a little bit of the seal is damaged. After countless riots, the original ant hole has been enlarged into a gap by the old demon. It is this gap that has increased the old demon's recovery speed and the frequency of riots.
This is a good thing for Chen Luo.
He came here just to target the old demon. It would be a big problem if the other party was trapped down there.
The old demon's riot can also help him improve his cultivation, which is a sure win.
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
roar!!
The blood pool vibrated, and this time the explosion was far greater than the previous ones, and the ground began to shake.
"Damn it, why did it explode in the last three days!"
Mei Xuan's face was gloomy. His three-year guarding mission was about to be completed, but he never expected that at the last moment, the demon under the blood pool would erupt again. Circles of bloody air waves flew out from below, and the rich inner demon wrapped in a bloody breath was like a tide, hitting the edge of the sealing formation again and again.
The surrounding iron chains shook more and more violently under the collision, and several iron locks were damaged. Cracks appeared on the edges of several fences close to the ground, and dark red blood seeped out from them.
During the last two years, the blood pool was guarded by Chen Luo and Mei Xuan.
Elder Weng Jiang also applied for rotation half a year ago. After all, his strength was not as good as Mei Xuan's, and being able to hold on for two and a half years was already the limit. Even for Mei Xuan, a great cultivator in the Perfection Realm, the inner demons had accumulated to the peak in these three years, and it would take at least ten years to dissolve the power of the inner demons.
Originally, the sect needed to send a third person to guard the place, but now the situation in the evil cultivation area has reached a critical moment. Even the peak master has gone there. There are only five foundation-building masters in the entire Qionghua sect, and these five people are the result of counting the two of them. Two of the remaining three people are Gong Cheng and Weng Jiang who withdrew earlier, and the remaining one is just a junior who has just established his foundation and is not qualified to participate in the blood pool.
"Brother, please go out first and leave it to me."
Chen Luo said to Mei Xuan with concern on his face.
The other party is a person who has not practiced the magic of the mind. He has really tried his best to survive in this place for three years. If it drags on, his foundation will probably be damaged. This also gave Chen Luo a more intuitive understanding of the sect power like the Qionghua Sect.
This is a truly cohesive sect.
When he succeeds in forming the elixir in the future, he might really need to rely on the other party's channels to leave. At that time, what would be wrong with being a disciple of the Qionghua Sect?
"Brother, be careful. If you can't hold on, leave. Don't try to hold on! There are still stone spirits outside."
Mei Xuan sensed the situation inside his body, gritted his teeth and flew out of the cave.
When the last person left, the stone door of the cave fell down with a loud bang.
Without the presence of outsiders, Chen Luo relaxed all of a sudden. He finally didn't have to hide it anymore. Looking at the blood pool rolling in front of him, he flew directly into the sky, swallowing it all by himself like a whale! All the power of the inner demons gathered towards him, and the spiritual power dragon in his body quickly condensed.
Article 90, Article 91.
All the demonic energy gathered into a vortex, which was absorbed and transformed by the demonic energy in his body. In just a few moments, Chen Luo's cultivation reached ninety-five, which was almost catching up with the improvement of the previous demonic calamity.
Gurgle!
The blood pool was surging more and more violently.
Amid the vibration, the cracks beside the blood pool spread even wider. With a crisp sound of "bang", an iron lock finally broke under the pressure. The dense black runes underneath were corroded by the blood and dimmed.
After the formation was broken, the power of the inner demon gradually receded, and the blood pool secret room regained its clarity.
"Something is wrong."
Chen Luo, who was in mid-air, looked at the blood pool below and felt something was wrong. The inner demon's energy had dissipated, but the blood pool was not calm. The blood above was surging more and more obviously, and it seemed that there was a silhouette trying to crawl out from it.
Waves of palpitations emanated from his body.
"Isn't this old demon dead?"
Chen Luo frowned. The scene before him seemed to be different from the information that the Sect Master had learned. (End of this chapter)
