He is truly a pure and filial monk.
The wall bat stuck out its tongue and licked its own feet, the resentful energy around it bursting out with a low roar, and it didn't care about the strange looks brought by its previous words.
"Fellow Daoist, come with me. If I don't let you examine my uncle, I think you won't feel at ease."
The wall bat crawled quickly with its four legs dangling in the air, walked into a house in a remote area of the black market, and swung its tail to hit the wall.
Spiritual forbidden runes appeared on the wall in an instant, forming a vortex-shaped passage.
"please."
After the vortex channel opened, the wall bat tilted its head to look at Shen Lian, and entered it first. "
The space derived from the wall is not connected to the overall formation of the black market. It is an independent small cave world.
Shen Lian took a quick look with his spiritual mind and followed.
To be honest, this black market cannot keep him. After practicing for tens of thousands of years, at this moment and in this place, Shen Lian's self-confidence is terrifying... By the way, places outside the black market are not included for the time being.
His current confidence is limited to this black market, and the ones outside have not been taken down yet.
“…”
After entering the cave, Shen Lian was speechless.
Inside the thousand-foot-wide cave, white banners were hung everywhere, and the ground was covered with cut paper money.
There were bronze men and bronze beasts standing around, flashing a faint spiritual power that turned into wind, just enough to blow the paper money inside up and down, like snowflakes all over the sky, falling into the blazing brazier.
"My uncle has no hope of achieving enlightenment in this life. As a junior, I can only show my filial piety in advance so that he can have enough money to bribe ghost messengers after he enters reincarnation, and strive to win in the womb in the next life."
Ghost messengers are just legends in the mortal world, but what Wall Bat did really surprised Shen Lian.
This is truly a filial piety that moves heaven and earth, and reaches the realm of reincarnation and the underworld.
In the middle of the cave is a bronze temple, covered with dense runes, and there are blood-colored spiritual restrictions like swimming snakes that are led out from the ground, tightly wrapping the bronze temple.
The wall bat ran exaggeratedly on all four legs to the outside of the bronze palace, knocked the bronze door open with its head, and pondered silently in its heart.
"Uncle Lin, it was this puppeteer named Zhou who wanted to refine you. You should look carefully. Every grievance has its perpetrator. If you have any grudges, you must not blame me."
After some silent contemplation, Wall Bat turned his head and looked at Shen Lian.
"Please come in, fellow Taoist."
Inside the bronze hall with the door opened, he saw an old human cultivator lying there, looking shriveled and skinny. Although he wasn't yet to the point of dying, it was obvious that he was about to grow hair.
The vitality in the body is as thin as a gossamer. Even if this thing is refined into a puppet, the probability of falling down in rank is very high.
Shen Lian came to purchase a cultivator who had achieved the perfection of Lianxu, not to be his puppet. He even had a seventh-level Hedao physical body, so what was the point of achieving the perfection of Lianxu?
Hey, hey, hey, that's not right. This little reptile deceived him.
“You, this…”
After taking another look at the human cultivators who were under restriction in the hall, Shen Lian looked at the wall bats again.
How did the gecko become a human uncle?
He even said in a very serious manner that they were of the same race.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are a puppeteer, but you are obsessed with appearances. As cultivators of our generation, we have reached our current level, so how can we care about a body? As long as our hearts are together, we are of the same race."
“…”
Wall-bat stepped into the bronze palace without looking embarrassed at all.
"Fellow Daoist Lin has already agreed to join our Qiuwen Yanlong Clan. Our clan's jade butterfly has already recorded Fellow Daoist Lin's name, but we just didn't have time to hold the recognition ceremony."
The wall bat opened its mouth and spit out a small jade book, then told Shen Lian the story in a serious tone.
For a moment, even though Shen Lian boasted of his wide knowledge, he couldn't help but feel as if ten thousand fairy beasts, alpacas, were rumbling through his sea of consciousness.
How could there be such shameless creatures in the world?
"Fellow Daoist, please check the goods."
Hearing the voice, Shen Lian took another look at Yudie and walked towards the shriveled monk lying there.
In fact, there is no need to look at it too much, this practice cannot be used to achieve harmony with the Tao.
The Hedao Heavenly Tribulation is already difficult, and it would only be a waste of time if it were in this mess.
The appearance of this type of Lianxu Wan in the black market for survival is reasonable if you think about it carefully. As a top cultivator in the Juntian Realm, it is already a great strength for him to be able to catch it in the black market.
"Why, fellow Daoist, you don't like it."
Looking at Shen Lian's actions, Bifurt spoke up, saying that his uncle was indeed not in good condition.
But then again, it is extremely difficult to catch a peak-level Void-Refining cultivator except by chance.
"Fellow Daoist Bifu, my puppetry skills have just advanced. I came all the way here just to select a suitable living being to try to make a sixth-order perfect puppet. However, the health of your uncle is too poor. There is a 70% to 80% chance that he will drop in rank in my hands."
After a cultivator who has reached the Perfect stage of Refining Void has gone through a period of sacrifice and training, he will become a cultivator in the late stage of Refining Void, which is a huge waste of money.
"Let me take another look."
Shen Lian spoke, then stretched out his hand and grabbed the shriveled monk's body. The monk's soul was in a sealed state. He must have been affected by some secret technique, causing his soul to fall into a coma.
He did not sense much resentment in his spiritual thoughts, and the gap between him and the target he needed was as big as a celestial being.
When he raised his hand, Shen Lian grabbed the cultivator's body, and a broken golden magic weapon fragment appeared in his hand, the quality of which reached the sixth-grade top grade.
"Excuse me, fellow Daoist. This was left by the last uncle."
Wall Bat glanced at the fragment of the magic treasure that had a different aura from the one on the stage, and explained calmly.
"The Daoist clan is so prosperous, it's enviable."
Shen Lian hesitated and said, "Fellow Daoist Bifu, is there any other uncle you can introduce to me? This uncle is in very poor health. I am trying to buy him at a premium. If I fail, I will lose a lot."
After hearing this, Bifu looked a little thoughtful. It is really difficult to deal with a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Lianxu.
"Fellow Daoist, please take care of me. It doesn't matter if the injury is serious, but it would be best if I could live a younger life and not die. It would be best if I could have a trace of immortality."
Shen Lian continued to speak, and casually threw out a string of top-grade spirit stones. The wall bat opened its mouth like flowing clouds and water and swallowed the spirit stones into its stomach.
Less than half a breath passed after the flash of inspiration came to them, and the eyes of the man and the demon met again.
Shen Lian gritted his teeth and groaned, "Fellow Daoist, please be more flexible. We can add more money for the tea."
"Thirty thousand."
"Eighty thousand."
"One hundred thousand."
The fluctuations in Bifu's expression finally changed. He sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, where can we find cultivators who have reached the Perfection of Void Refining? They are all brought in from outside. If you think they are too expensive, I think they are too expensive too."
"Besides, if you are not dead yet, it will be even more difficult to deal with."
It did not doubt whether Shen Lian could come up with spiritual objects of corresponding value. Craftsmen are the most sought-after in the world of cultivating immortals.
The puppeteer is especially the one that you must not mess with. Who knows how many puppets he has on him? If he kills a few of them on the spot, you won't be able to run away.
According to legend, there was a puppeteer at the Hedao realm who appeared in the fairy world. He carried with him hundreds of top-level Lianxu puppets. He alone was a puppet army.
In Juntian Realm, there are also rumors that a puppeteer in the early stage of the Refinement Realm can command hundreds of puppets to resist cultivators in the late stage of the Refinement Realm.
A puppeteer in the late stage of the Void Refining Realm, who knows how many puppets this Daoist Zhou has? "Speaking of which, I do have another uncle, but he and I are not very close. As for the other Daoist, I can only ask Daoist Zhou... I am not greedy for Daoist Zhou's spiritual stones, but I will use Daoist Zhou's spiritual stones to do Daoist Zhou's business. As for whether it succeeds or not, the expenses will not be refunded."
"Thank you."
Shen Lian cupped his hands. There was no problem with spending spirit stones. As long as he could get things done, he didn't mind spending some spirit stones.
After a moment, the wall bat closed his mouth that was gleaming with wisdom. "Fellow Daoist, you are straightforward. You can stay in my black market for a month or two. I will help you contact others as soon as possible."
"Then I am sorry to bother you."
…
"Friend Mi, I have a friend."
In an independent space in the black market filled with gray resentment, a stone mirror was suspended in front of the wall bat. Inside the mirror was a strong smell of blood demons, with black spots the size of rice grains emerging from time to time, but no specific figure was revealed at all.
"Little Gecko, just speak frankly. How much benefit did you get?"
Bifu didn't care about the voice in the mirror addressing him. "It's only 100,000 spirit stones for tea. When the deal is done, Daoist Brother Mi can just give me the same amount of spirit stones. We won't break the rules."
"He is suspected to be a sixth-rank high-quality puppeteer. He needs a living being at the level of Perfect Refinement to practice with. Tsk... Do you think a cultivator at the level of Perfect Refinement is a weed on the roadside? I do have one, but I'm afraid he can't produce the spiritual object I want."
Amid the bloody aura, two white eyes appeared.
"I'm different from you black market people. I don't want any junk. I want spiritual objects and spiritual crystals. Can he give them to me?"
Bifu pondered for a moment, "Friend Mi, looking at the Immortal Spirit World, the only person richer than the Puppet Master is the Alchemist. Since you dare to come to the black market to seek a Void Perfection cultivator, how could you not have something to keep you safe?"
The eyes in the stone mirror showed a look of scrutiny, and said with a strange smile: "A cultivator with something weighing him down, you still think of me?"
Bifu said seriously, "Friend Mi, we are a legitimate black market that sells living creatures, not a black-hearted merchant who takes advantage of all buyers."
"Really? How come the great elder of Liuming Sect a hundred years ago is gone?"
"Eighty years ago, those who wandered in the sea of stars..."
"Friend Mi, those were all accidents. You are slandering me. It is slander."
Bifu immediately retorted, “Friend Mi, even if you are the ancestor of the Tianxiang Sect, you cannot slander me for surviving in the black market without reason.
If the owner of my black market hears this, he will come to ask for justice. Fellow Daoist Mi, you don't want your Tianxiang Sect to hide in the Tianxiang Cave again, do you? "
"What a surprise."
Fellow Daoist Mi revealed a mocking expression, "Then tell this fellow Daoist Zhou that I don't want ordinary spiritual objects, but the corpse of a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void. If he has the guts, he can come to Tianxiang Sect to find me."
"Friend Mi, you are not planning to ship the goods. Do you think Friend Zhou will go to your old nest, the Tianxiang Sect?"
"Then let's go to the Shenyuan Black Market. That should be fine." A voice muttered from the stone mirror, "The trust between immortals was destroyed by you creepers in the dark."
"Same here, I'm standing on you, no one should say anything about anyone else..."
…
In a house in the black market, Shen Lian slowly withdrew his senses. The little gecko thought he was hiding perfectly, but in fact he had seen everything.
Unexpectedly, the little gecko suddenly transformed into a broker, taking advantage of two businesses at once.
Tianxiang Sect, this is a sect of demonic practitioners.
He is the demon sect that is good at kidnapping and likes to kidnap a whole family, and finally put all the happy families on the shelf. He combines corpse refining, magic cultivation, and soul refining into one.
Every time he angered the public, he would hide in a space crack cave deep within the sect, and then come out to stir up trouble again after a while.
As for the Shenyuan Black Market, it is another black market more than ten galaxies away. Its main function is to provide everyone with a safe trading place. Within the black market, both parties are not allowed to rob each other. Once the transaction is violated, both parties will be killed.
It has to be said that the existence of the Shenyuan black market provides a little guarantee for the chaotic starry sea, and many cultivators like to go to Shenyuan to sell stolen goods.
Just imagine, among the cultivators who dare to wander around in the Void Star Sea, none of them are simple. They are all desperate criminals. When it comes to killing someone for his life, if you look at the cultivators in the Void Star Sea, if you kill every one of them, there will definitely be some that slip through the net, including Shen Lian.
…
More than a month passed before the wall bat reappeared in front of Shen Lian.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I have accomplished my mission. After more than a month of searching, I have finally found a suitable puppet embryo for you."
Shen Lian did not expose the truth. This little gecko was only about one foot long and not handsome at all. It was a waste of his talent to be a broker.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Zhou. You also know that it's hard to deal with cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void. So his journey might be a little dangerous. He is a fellow Daoist from Tianxiang Sect. Besides, you still need to breathe. In the whole Juntian territory, only the Demon Sect has such a person."
As he spoke, he watched Shen Lian's expression change.
"But you don't have to worry. The transaction is taking place in the Shenyuan Black Market. I'm sure you have heard of Shenyuan's name. As long as you pay a portion of the spirit stones, the black market will protect you.
When the time comes, once you have achieved the Great Perfection of Refining Void, you can immediately start the ritual in the Shenyuan Black Market. Once the puppet is ready, you won't have to be afraid of the cultivators of Tianxiang Mountain anymore."
But Shen Lian still looked thoughtful, pondering the gains and losses.
"Fellow Daoist, what you want is a cultivator who has reached the Perfection of Refining Void. I guarantee that if you miss this time, you won't be able to get the next one for a long time. This is a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void. How many of them are there in Juntian Realm? Do I need to say more about the cost of hunting down a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void?"
Wall Bat continued to speak. He could earn hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones just by talking, so he was naturally willing to make this deal.
Shen Lian was wondering whether it would be easy for the demon cultivators to plunder his natal mark. After so many years of practice, the only normal demon cultivator he had seen was Fatty. What else did the other demon cultivators do?
If a demon cultivator senses that his life has been plundered, he will directly explode his soul.
"With the Samsara Three-Life Stone, the third reincarnation rule may take a long time, but the second reincarnation rule can be completed within three to five hundred years. As long as the soul is broken, the second reincarnation rule is enough to affect the soul."
To snatch other people's natal marks, Shen Lian had relied mainly on others' willingness before, but now he has the reincarnation rules to use.
As a cultivator who once derived merits from the small thousand worlds, in comparison, he was still inclined to communicate well and peacefully hand over his natal mark. Using the rules of reincarnation was the last resort.
"Fellow Daoist Bifu, this cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void is not a corpse, but a real living soul?"
After a moment, Shen Lian asked again.
"Everything meets fellow Daoist's requirements." The wall bat nodded. It knew a little about the cultivator who had reached the Perfection of Refining Void in Daoist Mi's hand. He was Daoist Mi's beloved relative, and the relationship between them was even closer than that of its cousin.
"Well, I'll go to the Shenyuan black market."
Shen Lian made a decision. He was not restricted in choosing the avatar based on the type of cultivator. Even if it was a demon cultivator, at most he could turn over a new leaf in the future. As long as he could advance to the Dao, believe it or not, he would be praised by the cultivator.
Even if you don't look at this demon cultivator, it will take some time to choose another cultivator who has reached the perfection of the Void Refinement Realm. You have to take a look at him if you meet one.
It would be nice to be an old demon and a demon cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist, although this is the first time we have traded, we have hit it off right away. I can't leave the black market, so when you go to Shenyuan, you should be more cautious when facing the Tianxiang Sect."
"Thank you, Brother Bifu, for your advice."
Half a day later, in a void outside the black market, Wall Bat looked at Shen Lian who was going away, and his brown eyes narrowed.
Fellow Daoist Mi of the Tianxiang Sect is a ruthless person, but that has nothing to do with it. If the deal is successful, Fellow Daoist Mi will give it a sum of spirit stones. If the deal fails and Fellow Daoist Zhou is being robbed, it will also ask Fellow Daoist Mi for a sum of spirit stones.
Anyway, it also reminded Brother Zhou that there are no good people in the Tianxiang Sect.
In addition, it was really right about one thing. It was really difficult to deal with cultivators who had reached the great perfection of the Refining Void Realm. These old guys had complicated methods, so it was relatively easy to kill them, but it was very difficult to capture them alive.
That is to say, the demon cultivators are good at the ancestral skills, and the probability of success in dealing with the people around them is quite high.
…
Abyss black market.
This is a huge pleasure boat floating on the long black river.
The long black river under the pleasure boat was not a product of the void starry sea, but came with the pleasure boat itself. Boats have always been sailing on water, and this was the first time Shen Lian had seen a pleasure boat with its own river. It was obvious that it belonged to a wealthy family.
This void starry sea is truly filled with wonders everywhere. In normal areas, sometimes you won't encounter a Void Refining cultivator within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. But in this black market stronghold in the starry sea, all you see are Void Refining cultivators.
There is no way around it. Most of the resources of the Lianxu cultivators can only be found in Lianxu, so everyone naturally gathers together.
Shen Lian took out the jade pendant given by Bifu, sensed it, and immediately felt the connection in a pavilion on the painted boat.
At the same time, the window in the attic of the houseboat opened, revealing a young monk in a scholar's robe and a turban on his head, who nodded from a distance. The only thing that was not so nice about him was that his face was covered with spots the size of rice grains.
“Here I come.”
"I want 50% of the profits."
A mysterious wave gathered at the scholar's ears, but his expression remained calm.
"Didn't we agree on 30% to 70%? Raising the price at the last minute is not a gentleman's behavior."
The fluctuations once again condensed into a line that appeared in the scholar's perception. "I am a demon, don't talk nonsense to me, I want 60%."
"Fifty percent is fifty percent."
The scholar felt resentful in his heart, "I will replace you sooner or later."
"Oh oh, it's only been a short while and you're already throwing me away. I'm still your uncle after all."
"Behave yourself, and don't be lazy when you're doing this."
"Don't worry, he's just a puppeteer. I'll take action immediately and make sure he doesn't summon any puppets. Give me 60% this time."
"Shut up, someone is here, you better behave yourself, we'll talk after we get the spoils."
The scholar walked out of the attic slowly, holding a jade pendant in his hand, and reconnected with Shen Lian, and the two returned to the attic.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you can call me Fellow Daoist Mi. I have already paid the fees for the Shenyuan black market, which is 500,000 top-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, just rest assured."
As a place that provides security, the Shenyuan black market is relatively humane in terms of its system. It does not investigate what kind of illegal goods the cultivators on both sides of the transaction are trading. It only sets up multiple payment levels, with the lowest being a few hundred top-grade spirit stones and the highest being one million top-grade spirit stones.
The higher the value of the black goods traded, the higher the protection fee paid, and the greater the corresponding black market protection.
Monks can pay the spirit stone fee according to their own needs. It doesn't matter if you are willing to pay the lowest price. Anyway, the houseboat will be robbed once it leaves the black market. The black market will retrieve the lost spirit objects, so don't say that they are yours.
After all, you only paid a few hundred top-grade spirit stones, and the contraband you sold was worth millions. This is definitely not the contraband you just sold.
Anyway, this kind of thing happens every now and then.
"Friend Mi, I still need to inspect the goods first."
Shen Lian took a look at the scholar. An old devil acting like a weak scholar must be a psychopath.
The aura has reached the great perfection of refining emptiness, it’s okay, not very strong. The feeling of refining emptiness and achieving spiritual transformation in the Yunxiao Realm is back.
However, he cannot wrongly accuse people. If they really come here to do business sincerely, he cannot kill innocent people, right?
"Of course, please come in, fellow Taoist."
Fellow Daoist Mi took out a bead and placed it in front of Shen Lian.
A wisp of divine consciousness sank into the cave inside the bead, and Shen Lian sensed a strong smell of blood. Thick blood-colored rune chains ran through a stone pillar, imprisoning a cultivator who also looked like a scholar.
This cultivator was seriously injured, his spirit and soul were in chaos, and his body was covered with dense blood-colored seals.
After waiting for an incense stick of time, Daoist Fellow Mi saw Shen Lian withdraw his divine consciousness and then asked, "Daoist Fellow, how is it? It must be of top quality, right?"
Shen Lian nodded. It was indeed true. Most of his soul was shattered, but there was still a little bit of resentment left.
"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Mi, where this cultivator came from? Fellow Daoist Mi, please don't misunderstand me. I want to refine him into a puppet. If I really encounter him in a battle in the future..."
Daoist Mi laughed loudly, "Daoist Zhou, rest assured, there is absolutely no problem with the origin of this body. This is my beloved relative and dear master who taught me how to practice."
Wow... no wonder they dress the same way, it turns out they inherited this from their master.
"The ancestral craft is not worth mentioning."
Fellow Daoist Mi waved his hand nonchalantly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, now you can feel relieved, right?"
What a rotten trend! Demonic cultivators are truly a diverse group of cultivators.
"This makes me feel more at ease. Fellow Daoist is truly a pure cultivator who never forgets his roots."
Shen Lian politely replied that there was indeed no major problem with the demon cultivator in the cave inside the bead, and it would only take some time and spiritual medicine to repair it. The problem was that this cultivator had something extra that was hidden very deeply.
It seems that in addition to the ancestral skill of killing masters, the evil cultivators will also use another set of skills of robbing their fellow thieves.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is my beloved master after all, so you have to add money to the original price."
…
"Hey, he just left like that. I thought he was going to refine it into a puppet in Shenyuan Market."
Half a day later, a voice once again rang in Fellow Daoist Mi's ears, "Hehehe, your idea of using someone else's hand to turn your master into a puppet has failed."
Fellow Daoist Mi did not respond to the words. He held a dark and hazy demon insect in his hands and continued to chant magic spells in coordination with the incantation.
"This Zhou took out so many spiritual objects at once, including so many spiritual crystals. He definitely has more than these spiritual objects on him."
Sensing the changes in the magic insect in his hand, a fierce light flashed in Fellow Daoist Mi's eyes.
"What are you waiting for? Catch up."
"Wait a little longer. Wait until it flies out of the sphere of influence of the Shenyuan black market. It won't be too late for us to take action. Shenyuan is not a place that can be easily messed with."
"Hurry up, hurry up, aren't you afraid that he will notice the Heavenly Aspect Ghost Mark you hid in your master's body?"
"That's the Netherworld Qi collected from deep within the Wuxiang Cave. Even a great Void Refining Great Perfection like me has to be careful when dealing with it. How can he, a late Void Refining Master, detect it?"
Half a day later, Fellow Daoist Mi finally flew out of the Shenyuan Black Market, but he flew in the opposite direction of Shen Lian's departure. He made a long circle before changing direction again.
…
Amidst the dazzling glow of clouds, Shen Lian's figure leaped out like lightning. He stopped as he flew, and after stopping for a long time, he finally made up his mind and turned into a streak of light and flew away.
Forget it, let’s just spare the life of this guy who betrayed his teacher and ancestors.
It is still unclear at the moment what the status of this so-called Fellow Daoist Mi and his master in the Tianxiang Demon Sect, but at the very least, those who have reached the perfect level of Refining Void must be the top elders in the inner mountains, and it is possible that they may even be the sect master.
However, the Tianxiang Demon Sect has developed a series of experiences in preventing encirclement and suppression after being besieged by the righteous sects over the years. The identities of the sect elders and the sect leader are vague and the outside world has no idea about them.
Even the name Mi Daoyou is probably fake.
However, even if he was just an inner mountain elder, his identity was enough to give him an excuse to take over the Tianxiang Demon Sect in the future.
Killing now doesn't feel like a ritual at all.
After advancing to the stage of He Dao, hehe... the scene of the old devil returning and ruling the Demon Sect must be full of juice and rich in emotions.
The old devil came back to kill the disciples who betrayed their master and ancestors, and took over the Demon Sect. It was definitely a drama about the determination of not to bully the old and poor.
A stream of Hunyuan magic power turned into a flame and sank into the body of the immersed old demon. Then a sharp and piercing sound came from the body, and wisps of spiritual forbidden things that were flickering with faint light emerged like wriggling maggots and rolled in the five-colored flames.
"Hey, it can actually repel my Hunyuan magic power. This ghostly magic energy is a bit special."
Although a ray of faint light only lasted for two breaths before being burned out, it did not passively turn into ashes during the burning process, but even showed resistance. This shows that the quality of this breath is quite high, but it is too thin.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Mi, wash your neck clean. Don't be scared to death when you come back. Keep a good eye on my Zongku."
Shen Lian glanced towards the vast void behind him, and then turned into a flash of light and disappeared.
It’s not that it’s boring for Zhen Hedao to bully Lianxu, he still likes the feeling of Lianxu beating Huashen.
…
"puff."
In the dim void, a beam of magic light quickly passed through, and suddenly the magic light exploded, and Fellow Daoist Mi's figure staggered and fell from the air, and it took him a while to stabilize his body.
At the same time, a black light rose from his body and transformed into a ball of demonic energy that enveloped the surroundings.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?"
In the demonic aura, Fellow Daoist Mi's face was horrified. On his outstretched palm, the demon insect broke into several petals, emitting a strong, cold, and bloody aura.
“Boom!”
In an instant, the rolled up evil energy exploded, revealing the shadow of a tall girl in her twenties, who screamed in horror.
"The ghost worm is dead. How could the ghost worm die?"
"It takes you hundreds of years to refine and kill a ghost pattern insect. How could it die in an instant? This insect comes from the mysterious land of Tianxiang Cave. The quality of the demonic energy on it is higher than that of a cultivator of the Void Refining Sect."
The shadowy girl chattered for a while and then shut her mouth.
How could a puppeteer in the late stage of refining emptiness kill the ghost pattern worm?
The sudden change made the man and the weapon silent.
The scene before them was beyond their expectations. They thought that the man surnamed Zhou might run around and use puppets, but they never expected that the ghost pattern insects that flowed out of the Tianxiang Cave would die.
Daoist Mi stared at the ghost worm in his palm and said, "This is impossible. This is impossible."
He had personally refined this insect and it took him a full 130 years to barely kill it. There was a strange glow on the surface of the insect, like a shell that could block the magic power of a cultivator who had reached the Perfection of the Void Refining Stage.
"Could it be the Hedao..."
“Bang!”
The girl in the devil cloud jumped up and slapped Daoist Mi in the face.
"You are stupid. If it were the same as the Dao, we would have died long ago. I think this cultivator must have some secret method that can restrain the ghost pattern worms."
After being slapped in the face by the spirit of the magic weapon left by the master, Fellow Daoist Mi calmed down and couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
His mind was in turmoil, and he really dared to think.
He Dao...
Why would a Hedao cultivator have nothing to do with a broken Lianxu?
Could it be that he has some special hobby that makes him enjoy experiencing the intrigues and deceptions among the monks?
This is complete bullshit.
"Don't just stand there. At least we have gained some resources. We didn't lose all our money."
"Let's go."
Fellow Daoist Mi glanced at the vast void. After he lost all sense of anything, looking for someone in the void star sea was like looking for a needle in a haystack. This time he could be considered to have completely lost his master.
"Master, Master, you really don't care about your disciple at all. Are you really unwilling to return to your disciple's side?"
A sneer followed, and the witch from before jumped out again, "You'd better pray that your master really turns into a puppet, instead of returning to kill the puppeteer.
I won't be in any trouble by then. At most, my spirit will be shattered and I will have to cultivate the spirit of the weapon again. But you will be in trouble. He may chew you up and extract your spirit to use as elastic to play with your little bird."
"Shut up. If you hadn't bewitched me, I wouldn't have done such a thing to betray my teacher and ancestors."
"Hahaha... If you didn't have this idea, how could you be deceived by me? Admit it, you are just coveting the position of the sect leader, and you also want to inherit your several master wives and junior sisters."
…
The void sea of stars.
In another second-hand cave house floating in the void among the rubble, Shen Lian set up a protective formation and sat down cross-legged.
The trip to the black market for survival was worthwhile, as he not only obtained a monster with the five elements attributes, but also brought back a demon cultivator who had reached the Perfect Level of Refining Void but whose soul was severely damaged.
Since there are so many positions for clones, they naturally need to be more diversified. All races and cultivators need to be given some places so that they can all benefit equally.
In the small portable world, within a combined formation, the five demon monks brought out from the survival black market were imprisoned here.
The sea-swallowing dragon with water attribute, the colorful peacock with fire attribute, the mountain-carrying turtle with earth attribute, the golden flame tiger with gold attribute, and the blue and black dragon with wood attribute.
Shen Lian's spiritual consciousness fell from the sky, sensing the changes in the five monsters.
In fact, there was no change. The five monsters had awakened when they were brought out of the black market, but none of them moved too much, looking as if they didn't care.
If it weren't for the unique spiritual restriction, it would have self-destructed long ago.
"broken!"
At this moment, a sound exploded in the formation, and the five monsters suddenly felt that the spiritual restrictions controlling their bodies were broken.
All of a sudden, the five monsters, which originally had deathly expressions and looked like they didn't care, began to mobilize their demonic energy.
“Boom!”
But in an instant, the void within the space of a thousand miles covered by the entire formation trembled, and unparalleled pressure poured down from the sky.
The five demon monks present all fell to the ground with a thump.
In the huge formation space, a colorful giant hand suddenly appeared, each of which was as big as a mountain, covering the entire formation space.
The five demons felt that they were being suppressed to the point where they had no power to breathe, and horror appeared in their eyes, which had originally been lifeless.
"Ancestor He Dao!"
The strongest mountain turtle hid in its shell and looked up in horror.
Between the huge palms that stretched above the formation, colorful air currents swirled and a hazy figure was reflected.
Even if they tried their best to open their eyes, they could not see the figure clearly.
The vast pressure, like an endless ocean pouring down, suppressed them so much that they couldn't muster the slightest desire to resist.
Why did Patriarch Hedao buy these little monsters from the black market?
For a moment, the monsters present were filled with panic.
…
"Oh, the master finally installed a big one."
Sanqian stood on tiptoe and leaned his little head forward, as if he wanted to see clearly what was happening inside the formation.
"It's a pity that only five Taoist friends who wanted to die saw the master's elegance. It is a pity for billions of creatures in the outside world that they cannot see the master's elegance."
"No, no, I think it would be a disaster if billions of creatures from the outside world saw the master's demeanor."
Sanqian wrinkled his nose slightly and glared at the two people beside him, "What are you talking about? The master just got a few hundred million."
"Your Excellency is unrivaled in power and may live as long as the heavens. Bang, bang, bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang... God's power is unrivaled, and the immortal bliss will last forever."
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Below the three little ones, there was a furry little mink, with its four legs spread out, its entire belly pressed against the ground, and its head slamming towards the ground.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Brother Dahei, don't mind your little brother."
"My little brother is so sensible, I feel very relieved."
"That's right. To be able to follow the master, this little mink's ancestors must have been lit up for eighteen thousand generations."
…
Inside the formation.
A huge colorful magic spell was flying in the air, overwhelming the space of the formation, and the suspended hazy figure stood with his hands behind his back.
You don't need to feel constrained in your own home.
First, intimidate these little monsters with your aura, and then condescend to tell them that your last wish has been fulfilled by the ancestor Hedao. Wouldn't they be surprised?
If he doesn't pretend now, will he go out and pretend? "It's really the Hedao Patriarch!"
Several demon cultivators looked at each other. They had never seen the He Dao, but they had seen the perfect refining of the void.
It is impossible for a cultivator at the level of Refining Void to have such a terrifying pressure. The rules are condensed into substance, and there is a momentum that can automatically shatter the demonic power in their bodies. The pressure comes from the soul and cannot be faked.
There are currently only three famous Hedao ancestors in Juntian Realm, namely the Master of Juntian Pavilion, the Master of Wanxiang Mountain, and the Master of Juntian Realm of Lingmu Fairy Palace.
I haven't heard of any other Hedao ancestors being promoted.
What does the ancestor want us to do? It is impossible for a great Hedao to play with a few monsters.
Besides, there are all kinds of monsters that can be obtained, so why bother with these ugly monsters?
"Buzz!"
Seeing that the five demons below were all frightened, Shen Lian waved his hand and shot out five streams of light that penetrated into the bodies of the five demons.
These monsters are determined to die, and some have some deep hatred.
These are not problems. Once you advance to the Hedao level, they will all be minor hatreds.
No one will hold a grudge for a lifetime. It will be settled easily when the time comes.
There was a message in the flowing light, and Shen Lian was telling them clearly.
The Hedao ancestor has taken a fancy to your natal marks, and now he has condescended to ask you to give them up. The ancestor will not take advantage of you. If you have any last words or wishes, just tell them on the spot, and the ancestor will satisfy you.
The ancestor is a sincere person who doesn't play tricks. He can swear an oath to heaven and earth that he will not fool you just because you are a beginner.
Sincere, sincere, nothing but fucking sincere.
The most pure ancestor, the most sincere Taoist.
There is no second one like him in the entire fairy world.
"Grandmaster, please have mercy on me. I am willing to offer my life mark, and only ask you to avenge my wife and children."
The Sea-Swallowing Dragon was the first to speak. Its huge body crawled on the ground, and the blood from its wounds dyed the surface red.
"Old Ancestor, please give me your love, I am willing to do so."
…
Soon, five carefully selected demon cultivators who were determined to die smoothly reached a friendly agreement with Taoist Master Shen Lian.
"I hope the Dao Zun will help me."
The five demons transformed into human forms and knelt down in the formation.
"Everyone, get up. I swear by the... Ten Thousand Dao Rules that I will fulfill your last wish. Otherwise, I will be punished by lightning."
Shen Lian originally wanted to swear on the Hedao Heavenly Tribulation, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue he realized in time that who would he be looking down upon if he sweared on the Hedao Heavenly Tribulation? The oath was upgraded to the strength of Mahayana.
He is now in the state of Hedao, so who in this small world dares to say that he is not in the state of Hedao?
"Ancestor He Dao, may you enjoy eternal happiness!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
