Chapter 567 The Aftermath of the Hidden Stele and Plans
"I have heard of your name from my young friend Lei Yao."
Wang Yu was taken aback.
It's strange that these righteous cultivators seemed to have a high degree of goodwill towards him, no one knows exactly what she said.
"Is there something you need, senior?"
"I guess so."
Venerable Taixu looked sorrowful, his old eyes welling up with tears.
He took out a stone tablet the size of a palm and tossed it to Wang Yu.
"This object is called the [Hidden Void Stele], and it is a key to unlocking the Daoist Treasury of the Void."
Wang Yu felt even more puzzled.
It's baffling that the other party would offer him such a favor without any apparent reason, especially since they had only just met.
"Senior, do you have something to entrust to me, Wang?"
"That's right."
Taixu looked at Chunyangzi under the lightning tribulation.
The tone was inexplicable.
"This campaign ended in failure, all because I am unwilling to accept it. This villain Lian Tian must have other plans. This time, when I go to the Chaos Layer, I will do everything I can to thwart his scheme."
Wang Yu: "..."
It seems that after losing your junior brother and the legacy of your ancestors, you have completely given up the idea of seeking the Dao, and your only hope is to settle scores with Lian Tian.
There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart.
It must be said that he did understand the leader of the demonic path. There was indeed a reason behind the other party's scheming, but that was by no means the main reason.
This is a completely fabricated charge.
The old Taoist priest just wanted to explode with Lian Tian. Since the other party was attracting so much hatred, what could he say?
Anyway, it's not him who's going to expose it, so we can just watch the show.
"senior……"
"Don't try to persuade me. My mind is made up, but I can't let go of the legacy of my ancestors. If we all go to the Chaos Layer to try our luck, then the Ice Prison Realm will only have you and a few of the demons left."
Wang Yu frowned; he had no intention of offering any advice.
But at times like this, there's no need to point it out, to avoid embarrassment.
"Does Senior mean that the demon race... will attack human territory?"
"It's hard to say. It's just necessary precaution. When a Dao-Merging cultivator descends to the mortal realm, what a terrible calamity it is. Throughout history, every time an ancient demon breaks its seal, it is a catastrophe."
"Your talent is unparalleled. You will definitely be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm within a hundred years. With your combat strength, you may even be able to fight in the late stage. At that time, you will be the pillar of the human race."
"There are countless righteous cultivators, but they only hope that the Sword Sect's legacy can be continued."
"I see."
For the sake of the Void Stele, since Taixu has come to him for help, it's not unreasonable to agree. After all, the Void Dao Treasury might be the only secret treasure in the Ice Prison Realm with unknown details and an incalculable upper limit.
It might be related to the spirit world.
This may be Wang Yu's only hope to counter the Prison King Lingguan's spatial means. Its value is far beyond what ordinary inheritances can match, so it is not unreasonable to grant him a small request.
"This is the access token for the Coral Island Secret Realm. The seeds of the Sword Sect and other righteous sects are all here. In the future, young friend, you will definitely have the opportunity to unify the Ice Prison Realm."
Wang Yu thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
If all those people above him went to the Chaos Layer and tried to sneak out of this world, wouldn't he be the strongest?
If one establishes a power base, unifying the Ice Prison Realm will not be too difficult.
Although it's true that when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.
However, once the resources are integrated, his cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage will no longer have any problems, which is actually a good thing.
He finished explaining everything he had to say.
The Taixu Sword Sect was officially disbanded. The disciples who had just experienced a bloody battle packed their belongings and fled, spreading the news of what had happened at the Sword Sect's mountain gate to the world.
It is foreseeable.
Before the arrival of the cultivators from the upper realm, the entire Ice Prison Realm will be plunged into unprecedented chaos, and everything will be reshuffled.
This timeframe could be a hundred years or just a few years; it's all uncertain, depending on whether the Prison King and Spirit Official report it, or when the Ancient Demon of Life attempts to break free from its confinement.
Time is extremely tight.
Wang Yu, the leader of the Sword Sect, had no intention of looting. No matter what treasures were there, being too close to the Ancient Demon of Life was not a good thing, as he was tainted by the demon's influence.
He didn't want to become like the Blood Demon Lord.
They were completely unaware that their personality and will had been distorted.
"The Demon-Slaying Mantra... The Demon-Slaying Mantra... I hope you can be more effective."
He muttered to himself.
Wang Yu quickly left this place of trouble. His plan was simple: his first stop was Tianmu Island, where the three-colored gourd vine was a fifth-order spiritual plant.
After Tianmu Su died, only the formation remained.
The pressure of breaking the death formation wasn't too great for him. His next stop was [Spirit Ruins Island], where the water and fire elemental crystals were extremely valuable.
Whether used for body tempering or simply stored away.
They are all more valuable than top-grade spirit stones, and could even be used to strengthen the Sun Piercing Demon Bow; it's hard to say.
You'll only know its specific uses after you've been there in person.
With both places now unoccupied, it was like going to find treasure. He was naturally very interested. Traveling between the two places wouldn't take long, and he would finish his treasure hunt soon.
He then needed to find a place to retreat into seclusion.
First, discard the portion of demonic energy that the Frozen Demon forcibly amplified, then break through to the third level of the Divine Transformation realm again, and focus on cultivating the Demon-Crossing Heart Mantra to resolve the hidden danger of demonic contamination.
This is the most urgent matter!
Therefore, Wang Yu flew away in the form of an aurora without stopping, simply trying to save time.
at the same time.
With the official end of this centuries-long war between good and evil, the major righteous sects of the Taihu Spiritual Realm were completely annihilated, and the evil path emerged victorious!
at the same time.
Top-secret information about the existence of the Prison King Spirit Official, the breaking of the seal by the ancient demon, and the arrival of enemies from beyond the heavens has spread throughout the world. The departure of many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ice Prison Realm has also plunged the entire world into panic.
at this time.
The Crimson Phoenix Demon Realm and the Demonic Alliance collapsed without a fight.
After their respective Nascent Soul stage ancestors left alone, the five major demonic sects all found themselves in a desperate situation, with the only exception being the Refining Heaven Demonic Sect.
Because the first thing the Demon Lord did after returning was to use demonic flames to pack everyone up. They were all taken away and left to remain with the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven forever in the form of power.
He actually slaughtered his entire sect of cultivators himself.
When this news spread, the Refining Heaven Demon Sect's mountain gate had already become a desolate wasteland, while Wang Yu was still huffing and puffing as he dug up the gourd vine on Tianmu Island.
Sects like the Hehuan Demonic Sect and the Mingshan Sect, along with their subordinate Nascent Soul forces, have completely descended into madness, all practicing demonic arts with severe side effects.
For example, the [Life Devouring Demonic Technique] – this technique increases one's own cultivation by devouring the lives of others, but it can lead to an unstable foundation, although the speed of breakthrough is unparalleled.
This action was taken in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and to search for the traces of the many Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had left, hoping to catch the last train. This extraordinary technique was most intensely practiced by those at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
It completely abandons humanity and consideration.
He killed almost anyone he saw, regarding all cultivators in the world as firewood, and raised his own torch high.
There are also those who practice the "Death Curse," a strange technique that uses death energy and virgin menstrual blood as its cultivation materials. It is an extremely yin and filthy demonic curse.
Once mastered, it can kill the opponent instantly upon being hit, and is difficult to defend against.
However, one must also bear the corresponding side effects. The stronger the death curse, the weaker one's own consciousness becomes, and it will also damage one's lifespan. After all, death energy is not a good thing.
Living people must not come into contact with it.
For a time, all the cultivators of the Crimson Kite were pursuing all sorts of demonic arts and strange techniques, which made this path shine brightly and reach its peak in almost half a year.
Moreover, the number of deaths during this period reached the level of the war between good and evil over fifty years, and the already sparsely populated Chiyuan began to show a desolate scene of thousands of miles without human habitation.
Ordinary people were slaughtered in large numbers.
Those who crafted magical artifacts requiring the blood sacrifice of countless living beings, such as the Myriad Soul Banner, the Blood Demon Sword, and the Myriad Skull Demon Head, emerged in droves, and the sky seemed to be stained with blood.
A bloody and violent atmosphere, where people killed each other to refine treasures, swept through the entire Ice Prison Realm, as if it had returned to the primitive era.
The situation in Taihu Lingyu is slightly better.
However, it also became a chaotic area, with many Nascent Soul cultivators seeking opportunities and seizing every chance to improve their strength according to the list of forbidden techniques once issued by the Sword Sect.
Issues such as alliances and counter-alliances, and the trade-offs of saving face.
Throwing all that to the back of their minds, the evil in their humanity that erupted was in no way inferior to that of demonic cultivators, and perhaps even more ruthless because of their usual repression.
The demonic cultivators' massacre had a clear target and no reason.
He kills anyone he sees, either to forge a demonic treasure or on the path of killing and devouring souls; his eyes are only for power.
The righteous cultivator, however, will cooperate with you to eliminate the third party, then turn around and stab you in the back, taking pleasure in your entire family, wife and daughters, and engaging in all sorts of cruel tortures and acts that violate human ethics.
Just for happiness.
They live each day as if the world is about to end, treating it as if it were their last. It's a chaotic mess, utterly unbearable to watch.
The Taihu Lake region has a population of 10 billion. During the hundreds of years of the war between good and evil, only a few billion people were lost. However, in the past six months, no less than 500 million lives have been lost.
The world seemed to be filled with nothing but chaos and madness.
The only two forces that can be considered calm are [Wanbaolou] and [Jinmanlou]!
As a force with the characteristics of a merchant guild, it was regarded as a target for plunder from the very beginning of the chaos. Regardless of whether there were Nascent Soul cultivators guarding it, the cultivators frantically scrambled for the resources of the branch buildings.
In just six months, the losses have become incalculable.
Their sphere of influence has shrunk considerably, and the territory they can fully control is basically only half of the state around Wanbao City and Jinchan City.
And they all went blind, never again to be as all-knowing and all-powerful as before.
That day.
In Jinchan City, Jin Miaoshan, the head of the Tianchi Jin Clan and the current owner of Jinmanlou, is hurriedly heading to the city lord's mansion, taking advantage of the resources available to the owner.
Years of cultivation combined with the infusion of various precious medicines.
She managed to raise her cultivation level to the late Nascent Soul stage, but in the midst of the chaos of the world, this level of cultivation offered her no sense of security whatsoever.
As she hurriedly flew to the reception room.
His anxious expression had returned to calm, and he saw that the people sitting in the hall were all regular guests.
Dou Zhao, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and Tantai Chan, who was at the peak of the Core Formation stage.
Yu Tangtang in the late Nascent Soul stage, Yan Ling in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and Bingpo Fairy in the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul stage.
Lian Yan and her master Yin Gui, the former at the mid-Nascent Soul stage and the latter at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage, along with the newly Nascent Soul demon corpse Wei Hao, a total of eight people, all have close relationships with Wang Yu.
Jin Miaoshan asked.
"You all have a good relationship with Wang Yu. Has he contacted you after the war between the righteous and the demonic factions?"
Yan Ling said calmly, "Yes, he asked me to bring Tangtang to Golden Toad City to find Fellow Daoist Miaoshan."
Dou Zhao: "Master told me to come to this city and wait after I break through to the next realm."
Yin Gui: "That's what my brother Wang told me too."
Ice Soul Fairy: "Master Jin, may I ask what your relationship is with Junior Brother Jifa?"
Upon hearing this, Kim Myo-sun frowned even more deeply.
He completely ignored the Ice Soul Fairy's question and continued.
"But he said it himself? Then why hasn't he come here yet? Could he have gone to the Chaos Layer with the other Venerables?"
"--snort!
"If Senior Jin doesn't believe it, please don't fabricate stories about Senior Brother Wang and damage his reputation."
These words actually came from Tantai Chan.
Despite being the weakest in cultivation, she spared no effort in protecting Wang Yu, showing no fear of Jin Miaoshan's cultivation level.
The latter's lips twitched, and he said helplessly.
"That's not what I meant, sister, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ice Soul Fairy asked again.
What exactly is the relationship between Master Jin and Junior Brother Jifa?
Before he could finish speaking...
Yan Ling also stood up and stared at the Ice Soul Fairy.
"When did Elder Bingpo become so close to Senior Brother Wang, and what is their relationship?"
The three parties formed a bizarre situation of mutual questioning.
Dou Zhao opened her mouth, then shrank back, standing with Tantai Chan, seemingly aware of their group and food chain situation...
Yin Gui Demon Lord watched this scene, his lips twitching.
His eyes met those of his disciple Lianyan without his noticing, and he was shocked to realize that his own condition was not good either. Soon, the hall was filled with the sounds of women arguing.
at this time.
Above the clouds outside Golden Toad City.
It took Wang Yu half a year to travel to Tianmu Island and Lingxu Island to collect spiritual items, mainly because the latter's water and fire elemental crystals grew deep in the underwater volcanoes, and mining them required time.
They have to go there regularly to harvest it. This kind of mineral-like resource can be continuously regenerated; otherwise, Lingxuzi wouldn't need to occupy Lingxu Island.
Because the quality of the Water and Fire Crystals is extremely high, it takes many years to produce each piece, so there's no need to make another trip in the short term.
At this moment, there was another person standing next to him.
He was dressed in a black robe, with long, dark purple hair and white highlights on his forehead. His features were handsome and otherworldly, and his skin was fair. He was so handsome that he didn't look like a man, and he had a feminine appearance.
He exuded the aura of an emotional demon.
A miniature black bell-shaped spiritual treasure hung on his left ear. He was also a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, named Xie Xie'an!
This person once received the Dharma transmission from Wang Yu.
I am very grateful.
After achieving Nascent Soul in the desolate ancient plains, he led a group of old fogies to carry out the Burnout Plan. After the success, he stayed in the ancient plains to cultivate the Rakshasa True Demon Scripture.
He was extremely accomplished in the field of spiritual cultivation, and was the only genius Wang Yu knew who had managed to escape demonic possession on his own. He was even considered to be of the same generation as Wang Yu, only more than forty years older than him.
Born at the last of the nine peaks of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, Evil God Peak!
His experience is particularly like that of a protagonist. In this turbulent and chaotic era, because he did not participate in the final battle between good and evil, he did not receive the news in time.
Wang Yu was encountered while collecting water and fire elemental crystals on Lingxu Island.
Xie Xie'an was using the pressure of deep sea water to refine his body at the time. He was well aware of the drawbacks of the Rakshasa Sutra, so he was purposefully strengthening his physique and improving his close combat skills.
Later, at Wang Yu's invitation, they came to Jinchan City together.
I sensed the noise below.
Xie Xie'an awkwardly touched his nose.
"Brother Wang, it seems I've come at an inopportune time."
This is the first chapter; the second chapter will be updated later.
