When the Lord of the Demon Heart Cave proposed to recruit the old monster in the stone, Lu Hongtu immediately agreed.

But I didn’t expect that the recruitment efforts would fail many times.

Of course, Lu Hongtu also knew the dark thoughts of the Demon Heart Cave Master and others, but he couldn't care less. After all, he needed people before the war.

But he couldn't let these people play tricks, so after thinking it over, he decided to go out himself, bringing the two Yuanyings, Mo Xin and Xue Ying, to put pressure on the old monster in the stone and force the latter to come out of the mountain! Deep in the cave.

Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes. Although he was exhausted, his eyes were full of joy.

"Stone-cast Earth Treasure Magical Power... 60% completed!"

He was just about to rest when he discovered that Sun Lingtong was missing.

"Huh? Where's the boss?"

The flying letter that Sun Lingtong left specially for him was circling around Ning Zhuo like a bird.

Ning Zhuo took the letter and read it, and immediately knew the whole story.

"Boss, you suddenly come up with something new again."

Ning Zhuo shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

He immediately chiseled open the stone skin and saw the Taixi Lingge, which had become a stone boat. The latter was struggling to survive, and the entire scripture of "Tiansheng Diyang Taixi Dafa" was shining.

Ning Zhuo came to the stone boat and infiltrated his spiritual consciousness.

Sun Lingtong sensed it and immediately communicated with Ning Zhuo using his spiritual sense.

"Xiaozhu, this is so fun."

"With this method, not only did my physical strength increase dramatically, but I was also able to learn about the past experiences of the old monster in the stone."

"Being a soil spirit is really boring. But sometimes, many new things happen."

"Come and play, too!"

Sun Lingtong warmly invited Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief: "Boss, I'm glad you're okay."

"I'd better go to Wanli Youlong to rest first."

"This is the Thousand Peaks Forest, after all, it is enemy territory. We should mine it as quickly as possible to avoid any accidents."

As soon as Ning Zhuo finished speaking, a powerful force wave occurred.

The waves quickly covered the entire mountain.

On the periphery, an extremely huge magic array was activated, and the array boundary wall formed covered the entire giant pillar tree!

Sun Ning and his partner: ? ? ! !

Sun Lingtong no longer cared about practicing: "No, this is not good. Is this a trap? Xiaozhuo, let's run."

Ning Zhuo reacts faster.

As soon as Sun Lingtong used his spiritual sense to transmit his thoughts, he pulled out the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat, took the boat and Sun Lingtong, and plunged into the Wanli Youlong.

The stone skin on Sun Lingtong's body was several inches thick. He raised his arms and legs and struggled hard.

Ning Zhuo has now mastered 60% of his magical powers. He can see through the details at a glance. He uses his spiritual consciousness to tell Sun Lingtong: "Don't move, boss. I have to remove this stone skin of yours. Wait a moment, let's leave here first!"

As a result, when Ning Zhuo arrived at the Dragon Head Cabin, he discovered an extremely terrible reality.

"Boss, we can't run away. This formation suppresses the space, and Wanliyoulong can't travel through it at all. If we activate it forcibly, it will be like an egg hitting a stone wall." Ning Zhuo sent out his spiritual consciousness.

“?!!” Sun Lingtong was suddenly struck by a bolt from the blue.

"I'll let you out first." Ning Zhuogang stretched out his hand and prepared to untie Sun Lingtong's stone skin.

The voice of Cave Master Mo Yuan resounded throughout the entire mountain: "Lu Hongtu from the Six Cave Sect, along with Cave Masters Mo Xin and Xue Ying, have come to pay respects to the mountain."

"Old Stone Monster, how about you come out and talk?"

The sound waves were mighty, passing through the cave entrance all the way and finally reaching the deep bottom of the cave.

The Wanliyoulong vibrated slightly in the sound waves.

Inside the dragon head cabin, Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong's hearts also skipped a beat.

"Lu Hongtu? The Great Cave Master Mo Yuan of the Six Caves Sect!"

"And Demon Heart and Blood Shadow... why are they here?"

"They want to contact the old monster in the stone. They are trying to force him to come out of the mountain!"

Sun Ning and the other person communicated with each other through their spiritual consciousness and realized the seriousness of the situation almost instantly.

The Wanli Dragon cannot travel through the void, so the space it can move in becomes extremely limited.

Once the three Nascent Soul cultivators discover that the old monster in the stone is dead and there are signs of mining, they will definitely not cancel the formation, but conduct a large-scale search.

By then, can Wanli Youlong continue to hide and avoid the search of these three people? The possibility is too small!

Because Sun Lingtong had tried it before. In the main hall of the Six Caves Sect, they were discovered by the Demon Heart Cave Master.

And now, the Lord of the Demon Heart Cave is among them.

Not only that, the Great Cave Master Mo Yuan, who was recognized to be stronger than him, also came in person! Desperate situation!

The ups and downs of life come too fast and too suddenly.

Just now, Sun Ning and the other person were in a state of jubilation, imagining the future in a beautiful reality, but the next moment, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse and they fell into a desperate situation.

The pressure of death is overwhelming.

Ning Zhuo's face turned pale and he felt that it was difficult to breathe: "How can we break the impasse?"

Sun Lingtong subconsciously struggled hard in the thick stone skin.

Suddenly, Sun Lingtong's movements suddenly froze, and his consciousness fluctuated violently: "Xiaozhuo, I, I have thought of a way!"

"We will get into the stone ball together and let the stone skin wrap around us."

"This way, we can disguise ourselves as the Stone Monster."

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I have thought about it. This is unreliable! Because Mo Yuan and others will definitely test the old monster in the stone. We are not even familiar with the tone and voice of the old monster in the stone..."

Having said this, Ning Zhuo paused.

He suddenly remembered the conversation Sun Lingtong had with him not long ago.

By actively bearing the magical stone-cast treasure and the fetal breathing spirit boat, Sun Lingtong entered the fetal breathing state and learned a lot of memories of the old monster in the stone.

The tone and voice are of course not a problem! Outside the cave.

Mo Yuan, Mo Xin and Xue Ying were suspended in the air, waiting for a moment, but saw no response from the old monster in the stone.

"Hmph, this old monster is so dull, could he still be in a deep sleep?" The Blood Shadow Cave Master snorted coldly.

"No. We ban the void and suppress the earth. Although the old monster in the stone is a Nascent Soul, he was born as an earth spirit. The instinct of escaping underground has been deeply rooted in his bones for a long time. This time, earth escape is banned, and he must have reacted. But seeing that we have the Great Cave Master on our side, he dare not come out!" The Lord of the Demon Heart Cave flattered the Lord of the Mo Yuan Cave.

The Lord of Moyuan Cave had an indifferent expression: "Let's go and meet the old monster in the stone together."

As he said this, he flew down first.

The two cave masters, Moxin and Xueying, looked at each other and followed closely.

There are intricate caves and numerous secret passages in this giant tree, but it is not a problem for a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, they had sent monks to visit the mountain before and figured out the path.

Although these monks were killed by the Lord of the Demon Heart Cave, the intelligence they brought back was not destroyed.

Therefore, Mo Yuan and the other three quickly arrived at the last cave hall on the mountain wall.

The huge cave entrance was so dark that it seemed to swallow up even the light.

The last batch of monks from the Six Caves Sect stopped here, set up a magic array, and sacrificed many of their companions.

From beginning to end, they did not dare to go deep into the giant cave.

Mo Yuan and the other three did not slow down, but went straight forward, passed through a passage, and saw the stone ball at the bottom of the cave.

Mo Yuan and the other three cultivators stopped on their own initiative when they were ten steps away from the stone ball.

"The old monster in the stone." Mo Yuan called softly.

Mo Xin and Xue Ying looked solemn and were secretly on guard.

Although they are numerous and powerful, this is the territory of the Stone Monster after all, and the latter has the geographical advantage.

The old monster in the stone has lived here for many years, and perhaps he has developed some powerful trump cards here. In short, it is better to be cautious.

They didn't know that the old monster in the stone had already died, and hiding inside his body was a mechanical dragon and Sun Ning.

As for Ning Zhuo, he was panting and almost collapsed from exhaustion.

Just now, he raced against time, exerting all his strength to squeeze out his energy and spirit, activating the magical power of the stone-cast earth treasure in his sea of ​​​​soul and dantian.

With more than half of his magical powers and the massive mana provided by Wanli Youlong, Ning Zhuo still managed to restore the stone ball to its original state before the three cultivators arrived.

Ning Zhuo would never have thought before that he would take the initiative to help the stone ball restore its original appearance.

The stone ball temporarily frightened the three Yuanying cultivators.

But this severe test of life and death has just begun.

The Lord of Mo Yuan Cave called out softly, "Old Monster in the Stone", and Sun Ning and the others had to respond.

Not responding would mean disrespecting Lu Hongtu, a Yuanying-level expert! So, according to the contents of the memory fragment, Sun Lingtong spoke in a vicissitudes of life voice: "Lu Hongtu, have you finished the Thousand Peaks Vein Map that you promised to make for me?"

Cave Master Mo Yuan's expression suddenly darkened.

This involves an old story.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Cave Master Mo Yuan was proficient in painting. In those days, he was looking for a breakthrough in his painting skills and wanted to depict a map of the Thousand Peaks Forest.

He took the initiative to find the old monster in the stone, spent a lot of time and paid a lot of price, and finally persuaded the old monster in the stone to cooperate with him.

The old monster in the stone is actually an earth spirit. If he can control the Thousand Peaks Geophysical Map, it will be very helpful for his own cultivation.

As a result, the two of them had just completed 30% of the exploration when they were ruthlessly suppressed by the Dragon King.

The Dragon King with the Three Beards is a being at the level of a deity. He is the undisputed strongest being in the Thousand Peaks Forest and has the most faith. His thousands of dragon whiskers reach deep into the ground, spreading across many pillars of heaven and giant trees, with their roots entwined around them.

Although the Lord of Moyuan Cave and the old monster in the stone are a powerful combination, they are only at the Nascent Soul level after all and are no match for the Shenxu Dragon King.

Moreover, their attempt to explore the geomantic veins of the entire Thousand Peaks Forest also affected the interests of the Ginseng Bearded Dragon King.

Something as important as the earth veins is naturally safe only if it is in your own hands.

As expected, Cave Master Mo Yuan and the Old Monster in the Stone suffered heavy defeats.

The first collaboration between the two ended in failure.

The old monster in the stone was seriously injured and was very resentful towards the great cave master Mo Yuan. Because beforehand, Lu Hongtu guaranteed that this matter was very likely and had been promoting it for a long time, seriously ignoring the existence of the Shenxu Dragon King.

Now, Sun Lingtong took the initiative to bring up this old story for two purposes.

The first purpose, of course, is to reveal one's identity and prove that he is the monster in the stone.

The second purpose was to block the invitation of the three cultivators in advance. Because once the old monster in the stone was about to move, it would no longer be in the form of a stone ball, and Sun Ning and the others would be exposed! Lu Hongtu said coldly: "Old monster, you still have the nerve to mention what happened back then?"

"If you hadn't withdrawn early, and we had fought side by side, we would have been able to cut off the Dragon King's hundred ginseng whiskers."

"In the end, you fled from the battlefield, leaving me to fight alone. After I cut off more than thirty ginseng whiskers, I had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender."

"You are indeed badly injured but am I not?"

"From now on, our Liudong Sect must build a Dragon King Temple and offer incense to the Canxu Dragon King!"

"It was at a huge cost that we calmed the Dragon King's anger. In this respect, you have to accept my favor."

Sun Lingtong immediately retorted: "Humph, if you hadn't instigated me back then, I would have been alone and well, how could I have been injured?"

"This time, I won't go out no matter what."

"If the armies of the two nations are coming to attack us, then let them come. At worst, I can just leave Qianfeng Forest!"

Sun Lingtong's heart was pounding.

Even when covered in stone skin, it is hard to remain calm.

He did not say this on the spot, but it was Ning Zhuo who suggested it.

In Sun Lingtong's opinion, these words were too dangerous, as if they were going to inspire the three Yuanying cultivators to take action! Lu Hongtu's expression darkened again.

Sun Lingtong's words hit the nail on the head about what he was most worried about in his heart.

If the old monster in the stone threatened to surrender, he could still deal with it. At least he could take action and occupy the righteousness of the natives of Qianfenglin! But if the old monster in the stone wanted to leave, it would be difficult for him to stop him.

Once it is implemented, this action will be too overbearing and will arouse the disgust of many forces and figures.

The old monster in the stone is considered a relatively special existence among the Nascent Soul cultivators.

He only occupied this giant pillar of the sky, stayed at the bottom of the cave all year round without moving, and rarely had conflicts with the surrounding forces.

It is unreasonable for Lu Hongtu to eradicate such an existence, as it will cause fear and suspicion among the indigenous alliance of Qianfenglin.

These are what Lu Hongtu really doesn't want to see.

So, Lu Hongtu smiled lightly, took out a piece of soil from his arms and showed it in public.

This is a piece of white soil, it is pure white, flawless. It does not have any earthy smell, but emits a faint fragrance, like a breeze blowing on your face, like the sandalwood in a temple.

The merits of the earth are the greatest treasures, and it is also one of the greatest treasures of Buddhism, the Western Pure Land! There is a poem that says: The bright earth gives birth to light that illuminates the soul, and the pure thoughts give birth to the Dharma.

The Western Paradise is a pure land where all worldly worries are washed away.

Wherever this land is, it is a pure place beyond the world. It can wash away dust, purify pollution, eliminate sins, offset the erosion of evil spirits, and transform everything it touches into purity and peace.

Not only that, for those who practice cultivation, it can also purify the mind, eliminate worries and obsessions, and guide practitioners into the holy realm of the Pure Land of Bliss.

As soon as this land is opened, the fragrance of Buddha will fill the air.

The two cave masters, Mo Xin and Xue Ying, immediately took a step back, revealing expressions of disgust and fear.

Sun Ning and others:?!

They had never expected that Lord Mo Yuan came prepared, and that coercion and inducement were his means. Secretly setting up the magic circle was his coercion, and taking out the Western Pure Land was his inducement.

"Old Monster in the Stone, haven't you always wanted to seek the Pure Land in the West?" Lu Hongtu smiled, "Now, it's right in front of you."

Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo held an urgent discussion.

The "Old Monster in the Stone" was silent for a moment, then he spoke: "Pure Land, stay here. When the army attacks this place in the future, I will take action myself."

Lu Hongtu laughed and said, "The Western Pure Land is such a precious treasure, how could it be possible for you to go there so easily?"

"Your place is not an important place. The kingdom's army may not attack here."

"Don't say such cheap words, or we will look down on you."

At this point, Lu Hongtu paused and revealed an astonishing plan: "The vanguard troops of the Liangzhu Kingdom have been stationed under the Thousand Peaks Forest."

"Commander-in-chief Du Tiechuan also commands the central army, located in Mulun Town."

"Both of these places are heavily defended, so we won't take them."

"Canglin Immortal City is the rear base of this war and has been training and reorganizing new troops."

"We have learned that one of the imperial guards, the Golden Halberd Army, has arrived at Canglin Immortal City. They are about to set off for Mulun Town to join up with the Central Army."

"So, let's gather most of the Yuanying and Jindan cultivators in Qianfeng Forest and ambush them on their marching route!"

"If you want the Western Pure Land, sign this contract, and then we will act together."

Sun Ning and his partner: ...

Lu Hongtu took out a divine decree and said, "I have to make it clear to you in advance, old monster. This is a divine decree made by the Shenxu Dragon King himself. After you sign it, you must execute it, otherwise you will be punished by the gods."

"You and I have both experienced the power of the Dragon King, haven't we?"

Sun Ning and his partner: ...

After Cave Master Mo Yuan finished speaking, he stared quietly at the old monster in the stone.

The atmosphere in the cave gradually became solemn.

The expressions of Mo Xin and Blood Shadow Cave Master became more and more dangerous, and they were ready to make a move.

"Okay." Sun Ning and the other man had no choice but to agree.

What else can we do? The situation is very clear. If we don't agree, we will have to fight!

Let’s escape this disaster first, then talk about other things.

The two could only hold their noses and sign the contract.

Seeing the old monster in the stone behave like this, the Great Cave Master Mo Yuan's expression eased up: "On the day of the action, you and I will meet at the top of Araki Peak."

Sun Lingtong snorted coldly and said in the tone of the old monster in the stone: "No need, I will ambush the two Zhu country armies myself."

Cave Master Mo Yuan nodded, left the Western Pure Land, and turned to leave with the two cave masters Mo Xin and Xue Ying.

The three cultivators disappeared into the dark cave, and the final instructions of Cave Master Mo Yuan were heard: "Old monster in the stone, don't try to do anything without putting in any effort. The constraints of the Dragon King's will are far beyond your and my imagination!"
