Inside the cave, Shen Lian, who had been screaming in an odd way, quickly restrained his evil appearance. He was determined to be a good man to the world, so how could he be so boastful?
More than a month ago, after his hard work, the puppet Meishan Demon finally succeeded in coming out of the mountain.
The Meishan Old Demon should have had the strength of a mid-Nascent Soul when he was alive, but he had been dead for too long and his body functions had declined significantly.
Even though Shen Lian tried many means, the old demon's strength was reduced by one level after becoming a puppet, and he was only left with the strength of the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
In addition to the use of the spirit puppet possession technique and a series of measures, the puppet aura on the old demon was also concealed. As long as he did not encounter a particularly tricky late Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be almost impossible to be recognized.
In short, no matter how you look at it, he is a living ancestor of the human race's magic.
Since he had been dead for so long, Shen Lian had no idea what spells the Meishan Old Demon had mastered during his lifetime. After he had performed the rituals, he was able to restore only four of them.
One of his magical powers is the Blood Miasma Sky Net, which is performed by relying on his natal spiritual treasure Meishanjian. It is a large-scale corrosion spell made from the blood and energy of living beings, which can contaminate the cultivator's spells and spiritual treasures.
The second one is also based on Meishanjian, and it uses the Demonic Tooth Skull Seal.
The third is a Blood Shadow Magic Shield, which is a defensive spell formed by the dual attributes of earth and gold and the fusion of blood.
The last one is a spell for escaping, called No Trace of Demons.
As for soul-type spells, there are none.
The old demon couldn't be deader. If he left behind some soul-type spells, Shen Lian would be shocked.
"It's just that the distance is a little off."
Shen Lian touched his chin and thought.
Even though he had the blessing of the soul-condensing thread method and had a secondary soul as a transit, the distance between his main body and the old demon puppet was only two thousand miles.
It’s not that it can’t be extended further, but beyond two thousand miles, it becomes less easy to control.
However, an area of two thousand miles is large enough.
In addition, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the old demon puppet, Shen Lian also placed a puppet formation core made of top-grade spirit stones in its body.
…
"Hey, Dahei is gone."
"Follow the master to clean up the world!"
Half a day later, Shen Lian grabbed Dahei and disappeared into the cave.
“Hehehe.”
Dahei imitated Shen Lian's previous strange cry and shook his two big pincers arrogantly.
…
"Master, didn't you say you wanted to pacify the world?"
Half a day later, Dahei looked up at Shen Lian, who was in the cave in the warehouse and took out the five elements spiritual objects to prepare for cultivation, and revealed a glimmer of hope.
Ever since it followed its master away from the wilderness, it has been following its master around, pampering the queen ant, keeping watch, keeping watch, and keeping watch.
It is a mighty third-level black demon king, and has never fought with anyone before. I am quite looking forward to it.
The master looked so ambitious just now, didn't he want to have a big fight? But why...
"Go, go and have fun by yourself."
Shen Lian grabbed Dahei's horn, turned Dahei's head in one direction, and then kicked Dahei on the butt, kicking him away.
It is true that a big fight is going to happen, but it is not going to be fought by him, but by the fourth-level old demon Meishan.
After taking out the spiritual object from the warehouse cave, Shen Lian directly entered the Bu Tian Pearl, and the Bu Tian Pearl was carried on his body by his secondary soul.
The secondary soul needs to control the fourth-order old demon outside, so he, the original body, can only temporarily take over the position of Butian customer service.
Fortunately, there are not many believers now, and there are not many problems, which does not hinder his cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged in the Bu Tianzhu Cave, Shen Lian placed five five-element spiritual objects in front of him.
These five spiritual items had been used before to upgrade the natal spirit puppet, but the actual consumption was not much, less than one tenth.
He estimated that the remaining ones were enough for him to condense the yin and yang energies.
However, this condensation process is very boring and long, and requires great patience.
…
[Calm down, insight points +3]
[Calm down, insight points +2]
[Calm down, insight points +3]
…
Half a month later, Shen Lian woke up from his practice, and the colorful spiritual light on his body converged into his body like mist.
He had noticed the problem of his spiritual enlightenment points decreasing before, but now after resting for half a month, he didn't gain a single one.
What went wrong?
Shen Lian thought to himself that his state of mind was quite stable, and he had a backup plan for everything, so he kept using the vest.
It's a bit confusing.
After pondering for a long time without any result, he suppressed the confusion in his heart and began to absorb inspiration from the five elements again.
…
Thousands of miles away.
In a small valley stained with blood.
The old demon of Meishan waved the Soul-Respecting Banner in his hand, and suddenly a strong cold wind blew up in the valley, turning it into a scene of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
A series of broken blood-colored light and shadows were attracted by the Soul-Respecting Banner and whooshed into it.
A row of merit cave stones were embedded inside the Soul Honoring Banner, and a space area was opened up inside to serve as the area for carrying the residual souls.
Although there is no method to achieve salvation at present, Shen Lian plans to keep it for now.
Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, maybe you will be able to find it easily.
On the dark face of the Meishan old demon, his eyeballs were like dark pools of water, and it was impossible to tell where the pupils were.
Chaotic sect area.
Over the past few years, the fighting has become more and more intense, with the major sects fighting each other back and forth.
As the most powerful sect in the region, the Qianlian Sect has repeatedly issued edicts asking all the major sects to exercise restraint, and has even issued a decree stating that whoever is slaughtering the mortal world should be punished by all the sects.
But it's useless.
On the contrary, the major demon sects played more vigorously.
The secular world in this area is similar to a series of separatist forces, and each sect has one or more secular countries under its jurisdiction.
Of course, some of these areas are called dynasties, some are called certain cities, certain plains, mountains, and so on.
These are just names and are not important.
The sect is the protector of these secular kingdoms, but if the sect is destroyed, the secular world under its jurisdiction will naturally not be able to avoid a catastrophic disaster.
As for other regions, the custom that fighting between cultivators is limited to cultivators and ordinary people are not allowed to invade has long been broken here.
Here, the emphasis is on the unity of the secular world and the sect.
…
The old demon of Meishan was flying in front.
Shen Lian's secondary soul was chasing after him.
Shen Lian was practicing peacefully in the Bu Tian Pearl.
Along the way, when the old demon encountered a blood-stained place, he stopped to gather the remaining souls.
If you encounter a blind demon cultivator, you will be sent to death early.
But there were too many residual souls on the earth. In just half a month, millions of them had gathered in the cave.
In addition to gathering the remaining souls, the secondary soul thousands of miles behind the old demon is also responsible for finding new members of the Bu Tian Church.
But...after all, he was overthinking it.
Trying to find goldfish among rotten fish will really only make yourself look bad.
An old demon was shuttling back and forth in the area, and the news could not be concealed at all, and it soon attracted the attention of many sects.
Qianlian Sect.
As the most powerful sect in the region, it occupies a mountain range of thousands of miles in radius as its headquarters.
The entire mountain range was black, and the trees growing there were also black.
Deep in the mountains is a basin hundreds of miles in size surrounded by high mountains, with thick restrictions covering the sky.
On the high mountains surrounding the basin, there are tall towers that serve as warnings, and in each tower there is an aura of perfect golden elixir.
Combined with the dense restrictions, it can be said that even if a Nascent Soul cultivator tries to break in by force, he will not end up well.
In the basin under the spiritual ban, countless spiritual bans are also flashing. Sometimes the spiritual bans will flash bright spiritual light, just like sparks.
On the ground, there are demon-suppressing steles engraved with the ferocious divine patterns of the devil king.
Among the Demon-Suppressing Stele, the wandering Yin Qi formed ferocious evil beasts that roamed around, and sometimes even tried to attack the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
The beast looked terrifying, bloated and covered with different faces.
Unfortunately, after the ghost-faced evil beasts are formed, they will be smashed to pieces by the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
Deep below the basin is an extremely large blood lake, on which a spiritual ban is swirling like a whirlpool.
Countless blood bats were hanging upside down on the rock wall, their wings tightly hugging their bodies, and strands of blood and energy penetrated into their bodies.
In the middle of the blood bats, there was an extremely huge blood bat. Even with its wings wrapped around it, its body was more than ten feet long. Dark golden patterns appeared on its body, and it exuded a deep aura.
The whirlpool of spiritual imprisonment in the blood lake below was affected by this blood bat.
Further down the Blood Lake, there is another cave.
On the top of the cave, the spiritual barrier flickered, and pure blood formed blood beads on the rock wall above, dripping down staggeringly.
In the dark room at the edge of the cave, the spirit gathering formation was slowly operating. On a cushion woven from fourth-order moon spirit grass, sat a young man who looked to be only in his twenties.
After an incense stick of time, the immersed young man stretched out his hand and grabbed the area in the center of the cave.
He caught a drop of pure blood, then took out a jade bottle and put the blood into it.
The blood that had gathered in the jade bottle had already flooded the bottom of the bottle, but the amount was not too much.
The essence of blood and flesh that can help Nascent Soul cultivators practice is extremely difficult to refine. It requires hundreds of steps and the assistance of blood bats to be refined.
But no matter how complicated it is, it is still easier to obtain than elixir.
"Master, the cultivators below reported that they found a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator active in the area."
The young monk frowned and asked, "What did you do?"
"It just killed a few low-level disciples. As for what exactly it did, the disciples below are too weak to find out clearly. However, this demon did not massacre mortals and cultivators on a large scale."
Every time the harvest of flesh and blood essence begins, monks from other areas will come, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and there are also large-scale slaughters of mortal creatures for blood sacrifices.
They will not be polite to these demon cultivators who try to take advantage of the situation.
The crops in this area are all grown by them. How can they allow others to harvest them after they have finally matured?
The Qianlian Sect Master thought for a moment and said, "Take my jade token and go find him... Never mind, I will go there myself, and you stay here to guard and collect the essence of flesh and blood."
This time, in order to befriend the Exiled Immortal Envoy of the Exiled Immortal Tower, the sect started a harvest in advance in order to heal his injuries.
The internal structure of the Southern Immortal Cultivation World has long been solidified, and resources have long been impossible to divide. Since resources cannot be obtained internally, they can only look outside.
The Exiled Immortal Tower is a force that is spread throughout all the major immortal cultivation circles. Even if the Exiled Immortal Envoy is just a small early Nascent Soul stage, it is worth making friends with him.
Of course, as one of the seven major sects in the Tiannan immortal cultivation world, Luosha Valley is not so superficial. What a small exiled immortal envoy needs is just a matter of moving his hands and doing it by the way.
They have many plans, and the exiled immortal envoy is just one of them. Now they are casting a wide net, and maybe one of them will be of great help to the sect.
…
Songbird City.
The old demon of Meishan flew over the top of the city with demonic energy. Just as he was about to get up and leave, a voice sounded in his ears.
"So fellow Daoist is gathering the remaining souls."
The old demon of Meishan suddenly stood still, his eyes fixed on the young monk walking towards him from afar.
"How can you stop me, fellow Taoist?"
The young cultivator was naturally the leader of Qianlian Sect. He looked Meishan up and down, and did not change at all because of the strange smell on Meishan.
A monk's physique can change at will. As for Meishan's body full of decay and poison, it is obvious that he likes to dress like this.
"I should be the one asking this."
After taking a look, the Qianlian Sect Master asked, "Which magic mountain did you practice in before? Don't you know that you have crossed the border?"
"Your honorific title, fellow Daoist?"
Meishan pretended to take a look at the leader of the Qianlian Sect.
"Qianlian Sect."
"So you are the leader of Qianlian Sect."
Meishan laughed strangely, "I just collected some residual souls to practice a spell, and killed a few ignorant little demon cultivators. Are you here to bring bad luck to me, Brother Qianlian?"
"Your honorific title, fellow Daoist?"
The leader of the Qianlian Sect asked a question.
"Meishan."
"Even if Fellow Daoist Mei is a casual cultivator, you should know which sect this area belongs to. You have crossed the line."
What is this? Qianlian Sect really thinks they are the big shot.
Meishan bared his teeth and exhaled a breath of green air from his mouth.
"Fellow Daoist, are you really going to bring misfortune upon this demon?"
The Qianlian Sect Master frowned, "Are you not a demon cultivator from the Central Continent?"
"Why, bullying the outlander?"
“Fellow Daoist, my Qianlian Sect is nothing, but this is the sphere of influence of Luosha Valley. Our sect still advises you to think twice, lest you cannot leave this area.”
"You are using the master behind you to suppress me?"
"What our sect said is the truth." The Qianlian Sect Master said calmly, "All sects have orders to guard their territories. They can deal with foreign cultivators who trespass into their respective territories at will."
Meishan frowned.
"Tell me more."
Shen Lian had wondered before, why could Rakshasa Valley, which had split into so many small Jindan sects, wantonly harvest lives in this area, harvesting cultivators and mortals like crops, carry on so smoothly.
It seems that the entire vast land of Tiannan Central Continent has been secretly divided up by various sects.
This chaotic area is an additional resource area allocated to the Rakshasa Sect in addition to its own territory.
In this area, Rakshasa Sect doesn’t care how other sects deal with it.
The other major sects each have their own ways of playing in the territories allocated to them. Everyone uses their own unique strategies and does not interfere with each other.
This is outrageous.
When resources are gone, living creatures will come to make up for it.
What is the difference between this and physical cultivation in the Middle Ages?
It’s boring, let’s restart.
