Looking at Xiemen with a somewhat regretful expression.

Shen Lian only felt as if ten thousand big black heads were crawling over his head.

This person is dangerous.

Still a ruthless person.

"Fellow Daoist, don't believe that crazy woman just now. Except for my own cultivators, all the cultivators I killed deserved to be killed."

"Oh……"

Shen Lian forced himself to smile kindly.

What a coincidence.

The fellow Taoist in front of him was just like him, and all the cultivators he killed deserved to be killed.

"I had a great chat with Fellow Daoist Ding today. It's getting late, so let's sit down and talk next time."

The evil immortal bowed to Shen Lian, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance.

…

"This man is invincible."

In the sea of ​​divine consciousness, an evil little soul was sitting cross-legged, and around him were circles of phantom souls connected hand in hand.

At this moment, the sounds came out from the mouths of these illusory souls, mixed with various different sounds.

"Being able to pass the test at Canglan Mountain is enough to show that this person has a strong soul. In addition, he has deep attainments in the art of puppets."

Xie Men's mouth moved without making any sound, but in the sea of ​​divine consciousness, his voice turned into divine consciousness fluctuations.

"A high-level puppeteer is a very troublesome existence. This person's soul is very strong, which means he can control more puppets and his combat power is naturally stronger."

"I don't want to be an enemy of him."

The spirit of the evil immortal shook his head.

"Oh!

What he got in return was the merciless ridicule of a circle of soul shadows holding hands.

"You also know that there are some people you can't afford to offend."

"Sooner or later, you're going to fall for this."

The soul shadows holding hands showed resentment in their expressions.

The evil spirit didn't care about this, and sneered: "Your talents can only cultivate to the foundation building and golden elixir stages in this lifetime, which is the limit, and you will die sooner or later.

I have taken you into my sea of ​​divine thoughts, and you are climbing the immortal road with me. This is the opportunity I give you."

"It's a pity that you are useless. Your talents are too low, and your spirits are too weak. It's a waste of my time and effort to awaken your spirits, perform blood sacrifices for you, and even support you."

The evil master said coldly, "You better behave yourself, or I won't mind destroying your souls."

"brute!"

A shrill voice sounded in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and a graceful female figure emerged with an angry look on her face.

The evil little spirit showed a look of enjoyment instead.

"Ling'er, you see, I have kept my virginity for you. I have always kept your body with me."

"You will die a miserable death."

"Not a good death?"

The evil eyes were fierce, "The world is in chaos, what's the point of dying?"

"Don't worry, Ling'er. When my Soul Fusion Technique of All Souls reaches a higher level, my good father-in-law and master will soon meet you here, a Nascent Soul-level divine soul..."

"brute."

"You can scold me all you want. I just want to ascend to heaven. What's wrong with that?"

The Evil Master returned all the way to his cave and let out a long sigh. His technique of fusing all spirits' souls had now reached a bottleneck.

Now I am traveling around to find the trigger for a breakthrough. The woman Liu Qingyun from Zhenyue Palace is quite good.

However, this cultivator has a trump card bestowed by his Nascent Soul.

As for Fellow Daoist Ding just now, the aura on his body was as deep as the abyss, giving him an elusive feeling.

This kind of monk is even more difficult to deal with.

It is useless for ordinary cultivators to have it. It is really difficult to cultivate immortality.

It seems that I can only go out and look for other opportunities.

…

Shen Lian watched as Xiemen Zhenren turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance. If he had thought before that Xiemen came to him to make friends with him.

But after hearing about the evil master's record of annihilating his own clan, he became a little unsure.

It is very likely that it is aimed at his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

Temporarily suppressing his thoughts, Shen Lian returned to the cave to prepare to accept the mission and obtain the spiritual objects he needed as soon as possible.

The attraction of Canglan Mountain is so strong that even cultivators from the seven major sects are constantly attracted here.

After returning to the cave, he took out the bronze coiled dragon and drove it with his spiritual power.

The quality of this token is good, but its function is far inferior to his Heaven-Repairing Order. Although his Heaven-Repairing Order requires his deputy soul to be present at all times and to repair the broken restrictions at all times.

Not long after, a stream of light came from afar and landed outside Shen Lian's cave.

"Daoyou, send the mission."

The visitor was an old bull-headed monster, holding a huge bronze box in his hand. He put the box down and left.

There is a groove on the bronze box, just big enough to put the bronze Canglan Order in.

After Shen Lian put the Canglan Order in, the bronze box began to make a creaking sound. Countless small cubes emerged from the top of the box, quickly reorganized and cracked, and finally opened, releasing a strong, ancient scent.

After the breath rolled, a bamboo slip and two three-foot-long bronze objects as big as shields were revealed.

According to the requirements, the prohibitions in the bamboo slips were engraved on the bronze shield.

I picked up one of the shields and examined it. The surface was rough and covered with particles.

After he picked up the bamboo slips beside him and put his mind into them, his expression was suddenly stunned.

The text descriptions in the bamboo slips were not from today's era, but he had seen this kind of font with misty cloud patterns.

This kind of cloud pattern is recorded in the "Record of the Later Heaven's Lingbao Yanzhen".

This kind of text has a restrained charm, and one can understand the meaning of the text through the spiritual practice of a cultivator.

Of course, this also creates a big problem, that is, the characters of the cloud pattern may have different meanings in the eyes of different monks.

This is the reason why there are so many parsed versions of some special written language traditions.

Shen Lian sat down cross-legged, holding the bamboo slips and comprehending the contents inside.

The general content of this bamboo slip is to construct a five-element restriction rune to assist the puppet and enhance the puppet's defense capability.

After a general look, Shen Lian began to understand that the forbidden runes in the jade slip given to him when he completed the first level of the assessment should have been annotated from this kind of cloud pattern characters.

The fact that they can be used on a large scale by Canglan Mountain means that the previously annotated runes have passed the certification and can be produced on a large scale.

At present, the annotations of these ethereal cloud texts are still unclear, so it is necessary for cultivators to comprehend them more.

To put it simply, it is a matter of experimenting again and again and then finding the most suitable method.

"He directly countered a Nascent Soul cultivator's attack, and sideways countered the aftermath of five Nascent Soul attacks."

Thinking about the task requirements, Shen Lian picked up the shield again and checked it, and found that it was a third-grade, top-quality shield.

If he follows the mission requirements, he has many ways to increase the shield's defense to level four.

Anyway, it's just to withstand a single attack, not a continuous defense, so setting up the formation and re-reinforcement are quite easy.

It’s really hard to earn these thousand Canglan points.

It is certain that a part of the heart of the great demon king Canglan is dark.

Shen Lian took the ancient bamboo slips and began to comprehend. He needed to thoroughly comprehend the contents on the bamboo slips before he could start.

The Piaomiao Cloud Pattern and the Yanzhen Record use the same language, so he had to guess that it was related to the Five Elements Immortal Palace.

When he came here before, he had guessed that Canglan Mountain was probably building a super-huge spirit ship, because he was too familiar with these steps.

The spiritual prohibitions based on the Five Elements are the rules for the operation of heaven and earth. Naturally, they are also one of the rules for the operation of the spiritual treasures and formations in the pavilion.

"Could it be that the Great Demon King wants to build a flying spiritual treasure that can cross the Fairy Palace?"

When the Five Elements Immortal Palace appeared in the Southern Continent before, it even attracted cultivators from other continents, not to mention many cultivators from the Central Continent who were nearby.

Comprehending the mysteries in the bamboo slips, Shen Lian quickly analyzed and deduced several possible suitable spiritual restriction methods based on his inherited craft knowledge.

These methods are all based on the spiritual prohibitions in the bamboo slips.

However, in order to pretend, he still showed a sad look, and walked out of the cave every few days to look at the mountains and scenery to express the boredom in his heart.

One day several months later, Shen Lian was watching the scenery in a pavilion on a small hill when he suddenly rushed back into the cave and hurriedly grabbed a bronze shield.

The little fox demon was stunned by this scene.

More than half a month later, Shen Lian, with disheveled hair and carrying two shields, slowly walked out of the cave.

"Come, hand in the task."

The bull-headed monster appeared again and took away the two shields, the bronze box and the bamboo slips.

Shen Lian returned to the cave, combed his hair, and then lay in the hot spring, with a little fox jumping up and down on his body.

It wasn't that he asked for it, he was originally studying the Spring and Autumn Annals.

I just took a shower and didn't do anything else.

After doing all this, Shen Lian changed into a new robe and returned to the training room to regulate his breathing.

After enduring these few months, his spirits were very poor and he needed to meditate and rest well.

Although he was pretending these past few months, he was actually having a lot of random thoughts in his mind.

If the Great Demon King is really building an extra-large spirit ship, then since everyone is involved, is it possible to use the method of spirit prohibition to add a small back door on the spirit ship?

It's not that I want to do anything bad, I just think it might be useful in the future.

Of course, the idea of ​​opening a back door right under the nose of the great demon king Canglan is indeed a bit bold.

But this backdoor is not what everyone imagines.

If he participated in the creation of a part of the spiritual ban, he could reverse the reasoning and deduce the whole picture of the spiritual ship. This would be equivalent to knowing the secret of the Demon King's spiritual ship.

Shen Lian didn't want to go to the Five Elements Immortal Palace, but what if he couldn't go there in the future?

Now that ascension has become a vain act, the Immortal Palace has become the immortal path that many cultivators look forward to. In the future, if he wants to leave, he may have to take the immortal path.

So, it's okay to prepare in advance.

However, he currently didn't know enough about these spiritual prohibitions, and couldn't use this information to perform reverse reasoning.

In addition, the two shields he handed over were branded with spiritual restrictions, and at most they could only withstand attacks from the Nascent Soul level.

It’s not that he couldn’t continue to strengthen it, but Shen Lian felt that he couldn’t release it all at once, as that would be too conspicuous.

Judging from his previous experience with Canglan Mountain, Canglan Mountain is very likely to increase the reward for this task and continue to attract him to study this restriction.

…

While Shen Lian was thinking about making more contributions to the Demon King, the old bull demon entered a hall with the nearby shield he had carved.

"Elder Huang Hu, fellow Daoist number 113's mission has been completed."

The upright fox demon statue in the main hall came to life, revealing the appearance of an old fox demon, and he looked at the bronze box.

"Daoist No. 113 just accepted the mission, right? Let's test it directly."

In the blink of an eye, a bronze shield flew up and was directly hooked by the copper locks that came out from all directions, and it was suspended in the air.

In an instant, a black light fell in the hall, emitting a strong smell of resentment and corrosion.

It suddenly appeared, like a demon shadow, rushing towards the two people in the hall, but was blocked in an area by the lit ban and could only fall towards the shield.

In the blink of an eye, a cracking sound was heard from the shield, and bright rays of light lit up from the cracks in the shield, interweaving to outline a colorful light, forming a circular halo, which firmly resisted the black light.

“Crack!”

After holding out for three breaths, the cracked shield completely shattered, and the circular colorful halo persisted in the black light for another five or six breaths before it extinguished into nothingness.

"Elder, it's broken."

The old bull demon spoke in a deep voice.

The old fox demon did not respond. She waved her hand, picked up the broken bronze piece, and examined it.

"Use another piece to perform the aftermath test and record the process for me."

…

One day later.

"Although you failed in your mission, you lasted three breaths before breaking apart during the test. Elder Yellow Fox has come to ask if you are still willing to accept this mission?"

The old bull demon spoke in a muffled voice.

"In view of your hard work, fifty Canglan Points have been added to your Canglan Order."

"In addition, if you continue to accept this mission, the Canglan points rewarded by the mission will be increased three times to 3,000 Canglan points."

"Take it."

Shen Lian nodded.

Look, the radish is here again.

The rules of Canglan Mountain are too flexible.

It hits your heart clearly.

Lao Niu soon brought another large bronze box, which contained a bamboo slip, two bronze shields, and a photo-retaining bead.

"Fellow Daoist, this is a video of the shield testing process."

Shen Lian took out the image-retaining bead and activated it, and saw the scene of black light hitting the shield.

"Fellow Daoist, what kind of energy is this black light?"

"This energy does not come from the five elements."

The old bull demon did not hide it and said, "The Great Demon King brought it back from the outside world."

Shen Lian frowned and thought for a long time, then looked up and asked, "Can I see this energy?"

The old bull demon thought for a moment and said, "I need to consult the elders."

After saying that, the old bull demon left the cave and came back soon with a bronze lamp.

After he turned on the bronze lamp, a ball of black energy wandered around the wick, then suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Shen Lian.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful. These energies are like maggots on the tarsal bones. Once they get entangled in you, they will absorb your essence, energy, and spirit, like a deadly poison possessing you."

"call!"

When the black energy appeared, Shen Lian was shocked.

He had seen this thing when God replenished his golden elixir and he went through three thunder tribulations!
