Shushan.
The back mountain.
A nine-story black pagoda stands here.
Twelve chains imprisoned the tower from all sides, and three huge yellow talismans were affixed to the tower.
It's obvious at a glance that something extraordinary must be sealed inside the tower.
Qingwei brought Moxie to this place, followed by eight elders from Mount Shu.
Qingwei pointed to the tower and said to Moxie, "This is the Demon-Locking Tower."
Mo Xie asked, "Is it the Demon-Locking Tower that sealed away so many powerful demons?"
Qingwei nodded and said, "That's right! Of the monsters that ravaged the human world back then, ninety percent were killed by our ancestors. The remaining ten percent were all powerful demons that could not be killed, so they were suppressed under this Demon Locking Tower."
"Young man, do you know why this Demon-Sealing Tower has nine levels?"
Mo Xie frowned and said, "Stop beating around the bush, just say what you have to say!"
Qingwei laughed and said, "Hehe, the nine-story Demon-Locking Tower, each floor suppresses several great demons, and the Demon Emperor is even suppressed at the bottom floor!"
"Demon Emperor?" Mo Xie felt a sense of awe and confusion.
Qingwei's expression also turned solemn. "That's right! The Demon Emperor is a top-tier expert of this era, on the same level as the Demon Lord."
Mo Xie suddenly had a bad feeling and waved his hand, saying, "After all this talk... what exactly do you want to do with me here?"
Qingwei pointed to the Demon-Locking Tower and said, "According to the divination of the Qiankun Mirror, your destiny to resolve this catastrophe still lies here."
Mo Xie followed his finger and saw that the Demon Locking Tower was dozens of feet tall, pitch black, and exuded a foul stench. Its exterior was pitted and uneven, as if it had been hit by something.
He swallowed hard and chuckled, "Old man, you're not kidding, are you?"
Qingwei smiled and shook her head.
"Or... would you like to come in with me?"
Qingwei smiled and shook her head again, "You go in alone, and only you can go in!"
"Or perhaps, the powerful demons inside have had their cultivation sealed?"
"No! The Demon-Sealing Tower only imprisons their freedom, but it does not seal their cultivation... However, it is possible that their strength is weaker than it is outside."
Mo Xie asked with a pained expression, "Can I choose not to go in?"
Qingwei smiled and said, "Okay."
Mo Xie shook his head and said, "Then I'd better go in... After all, I owe you my life."
Qingwei seemed to have known he would make this decision, and cupped her hands, saying, "Young friend, for the greater good of the common people, please accept my bow!"
Regardless of their feelings, the eight elders bowed in respect—even though this young man didn't seem like someone who could save the world, his heart was worthy of respect.
If word got out that a dignified elder of the Shu Mountain Sect was bowing to such a guy, it would probably shock everyone.
"Stop with all that fancy stuff, I don't have any grand principles to speak of..."
Mo Xie waved his hand and said.
He only chose to fight this desperately because he had no other choice but to kill the protagonist.
He chuckled and said, "I'm about to go in. There are some magical treasures or something. Can I have a few?"
“Of course!” Qingwei took a sword box from the elder and handed it to Moxie.
Moye slowly opened the sword box, and wisps of eerie black energy flew out.
And his own Formless Demon Sword lay within it.
The demonic sword was shrouded in wisps of black energy, and its blade emitted a faint black light.
It seems a little different from before?
Mo Xie's eyes lit up.
If before, the Formless Demon Sword was suppressed by the dimensional power of this world, and was merely an extremely sharp 'mortal sword'.
So now it can be considered a "celestial sword" that has been "blessed" and "communicated with spirit".
and,
He seemed to sense a familiar aura within it?
It seems to be...
"Demonic energy!"
Mo Xie was startled.
Qingwei smiled and said, "Pick it up and take a look!"
Qingxu shouted, "Sect Leader, you mustn't! In the past few days, this sword has absorbed numerous demonic creatures and is already a malevolent sword filled with demonic energy!"
"Even if we were to become tainted, there is still a risk of us going berserk! If it were an ordinary person... they would probably turn into a bloodthirsty demon in an instant!"
Qingwei smiled and said, "Regarding the savior, one of the omens from the Qiankun Mirror is the Demon Locking Tower; the second is the Demon Realm. I trust the Qiankun Mirror's judgment. Young friend, pick it up and try it!"
Mo Xie didn't care about anything else and reached out to grab the demonic sword that was flashing with black light.
The eight elders immediately went on high alert to guard against any unforeseen events.
When Moye's fingers touched the hilt of the Demon Sword, a feeling of familiarity immediately welled up in her heart.
"That's right, this is demonic energy!"
"Although this demonic energy is extremely thin, it is definitely the purest form of demonic energy!"
The purest demonic energy—not the demonic energy cultivated through demonic practices, but… the true demonic energy.
"It seems that there are indeed demons in this world... If I have the chance, I'd like to see them for myself!"
Mo Xie brandished the demonic sword, and everyone saw a fierce demonic aura swirling wildly!
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
After brandishing his sword, Mo Xie sheathed the demonic sword, carried it on his back, and then addressed the astonished elders.
"Even the most terrifying demonic energy cannot affect him in the slightest... It seems this child is truly a savior."
Qingxu and the other elders thought this to themselves.
Qingwei nodded and said, "This sword was ultimately nurtured from an inanimate object. If it were to be properly nourished in the Demon Realm, this demonic sword might be worthy of being ranked among the legendary immortal swords!"
Mo Xie laughed and said, "Old man, you don't need to goad me. I will definitely go to the Demon Realm!"
