He used a trap spell before tentatively walking towards the altar.
Because of the talisman she used, the swamp beneath her feet instantly turned into solid ground. After she walked over, it quickly returned to normal.
There was also a protective array around the altar, but for some reason...
One corner was violently destroyed, and the altar inside was also cracked, which is why black smoke kept coming out, mixing with the thick fog, and dissipating into the surrounding air.
I wonder how many years this altar has existed. If this black aura is truly demonic, then what is being suppressed beneath it is no ordinary thing.
No matter what, if we don't find a way to repair the cracks here, this black energy will eventually erode the entire world.
At that time, even cultivators who were corrupted by demonic energy would turn into ruthless demons who only knew how to devour, let alone ordinary people.
Passing through the damaged parts of the formation, Jian Ning successfully reached the altar. Just as she was about to touch the runes on it, suddenly a brilliant golden light shone forth.
The altar seemed to sense her arrival, and suddenly generated a huge suction force, pulling her directly into the crack emitting black mist.
Jian Ning had a bad feeling, but no matter what method she used, she couldn't get out of this inexplicable suction force. She could only be dragged forward rapidly in the black mist.
She didn't know how long she had been flying when the suction suddenly stopped, and with a thud, she fell from mid-air and crashed directly onto the rocky ground.
Thankfully she was wearing armor; otherwise, those sharp, black stones on the ground would have pierced her through.
Looking up, the sky was a dark gray, but there was no fog at all. Many strangely shaped, dark red plants grew all around, and the distant mountains were just shadows from here.
A guess suddenly came to mind: Could this be the Demon Realm?
No way, this can't be done. If it keeps going like this, her mind will get all confused. She'll be living in a completely different world every now and then. Will she ever be able to live a normal life?
Looking back at the spot where I had just fallen, it seemed to be in mid-air.
I wanted to fly back on my sword, but I didn't expect that spiritual power was restricted here. Returning the way I came is now impossible, so I can only make a mark here to prevent myself from getting lost when I come back.
Then she discovered that the spiritual energy here was thin, and she couldn't even open the storage bracelet. Luckily, she was able to enter the jade pendant space, otherwise she would have had no way out.
Even now, Jian Ning wasn't in a hurry. Since it was a trial space, there must be a way out; it just depended on whether she could find it.
So, holding the Ruoshui Sword, they carefully explored forward.
The demonic energy here is extremely dense. Even though Jian Ning was wearing armor, she felt her heart beating faster and her breathing becoming difficult after walking for a short while.
This is terrible! This demon realm is truly unsuitable for human habitation. If this continues, our spiritual energy won't be replenished.
Sooner or later, she will be assimilated by the demonic energy here. At that time, she will no longer even have any self-awareness left in this world.
This won't work, but I can't use my spiritual energy, and I can't open the storage bracelet either.
Even if you could open it, there's nothing inside to deal with demonic energy. The only thing you could find is a Qi-replenishing pill, which might quickly replenish your spiritual energy.
This is really a difficult situation.
She simply returned to the jade pendant space and absorbed some spirit stones to replenish her spiritual power. Luckily, she had been somewhat shrewd before and hadn't put all the spirit stones in her storage bracelet and immortal abode.
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the spiritual herbs he had dug up last time. He had planted quite a few here, but unfortunately, none of them were from the Demon Realm.
So, could I go out and find some exorcism grass seeds to refine some exorcism pills and stop the loss of spiritual power?
Thinking about this method, it should be feasible. So he ate something quickly and came out of the jade pendant space. He seemed to remember his master mentioning the appearance of the exorcism herb.
But after coming out, I searched carefully among those strangely shaped weeds for a long time, but I couldn't find any trace of the exorcism grass.
They had no choice but to continue exploring and moving forward.
The place was extremely desolate. After walking for more than two hours, a dark city finally came into view in the distance. Demons guarded the entrance. They looked no different from humans, except that their bodies were shrouded in a faint layer of black mist.
She dared not force her way into this city unless she was willing to risk her life. Instead of getting close, she turned left and went up the mountain.
After walking for a while, the vegetation on the ground noticeably increased. The dark red earth was permeated with demonic energy. Not far away, a small stream flowed down from the mountain.
Fortunately, she was lucky and found several Magic Spirit Grass plants by the stream. Although they only produced about ten fruits, it was already quite good for her at this point.
He quickly picked the fruit and returned to the jade pendant space to begin refining pills.
This exorcism pill was really difficult to refine. I lost five or six fruits in a row before I finally finished one batch, yielding only eight pills.
And it also had an unpleasant stench. Even adding a lot of pomegranate juice couldn't mask it.
With no other choice, Jian Ning could only pinch her nose and swallow one.
The medicine quickly took effect, expelling the remaining demonic energy from her body.
Then he took out the spirit beast's blood and a blank talisman paper, and drew more than ten talismans that could release dense fog of black energy in one go.
One of the cards could keep her enveloped in black energy for three days.
In that case, as long as she controls herself from using spiritual power, those demons shouldn't be able to tell that she's a human cultivator, and she can then go and explore the city.
Since she was already here, how could she leave without taking a look? It was said that demons could devour human hearts, but she had never actually witnessed it.
Having prepared everything, I emerged from the space, thought for a moment, and...
Using the Ruoshui Sword, I chopped off a branch of a large, dark red tree nearby, giving it a simple trim.
I made a wooden sword and held it in my hand. The wood here is very sturdy. In case of danger and I can't use my own sword, I can use this.
Then, his body was enveloped in black mist, and he strode down the mountain toward the city.
The two demons guarding the city were taken aback when they saw Jian Ning approaching. They quickly jogged over and asked, "My lord, may I ask where you come from? Are you here to attend our city lord's wedding ceremony? Do you have an invitation?"
"Yes, I'm here to attend the ceremony. What do I need an invitation for? I'm only here to give face to your city lord."
Jian Ning lowered her voice and spoke in a deliberately sinister tone.
