"Three days later, the Zhongzhou Secret Realm will be opened. The ancestor has given you words of encouragement before, and I will not repeat them today... Admittedly, obtaining resources from the Zhongzhou Secret Realm to supplement your own sect is your goal, but the most important prerequisite is to ensure your own safety!"
The main hall of Jian Ge Sect was filled with Jian Ge disciples. Su Qinian and the elders stood in front of everyone with serious expressions.
Every year, the Zhongzhou Secret Realm is the time for a major reshuffle of the sect's strength.
Especially once every ten years, the big and small secret realms are opened together, which means that not only the disciples below the Yuan Infant level but also the elites above the Yuan Infant level can enter the secret realm, and even the elders and the sect master may take office in person. There are various ancient natural treasures and secret manuals in the secret realm. If you take out a few of them, it will naturally increase the overall strength of the sect.
However, if an elite disciple or even a sect elder died in the secret realm, it would naturally be a big blow to the sect.
After all, although there are many good things in the secret realm, there are also hidden crises.
The mechanism array is just a small matter. The most feared thing is the ancient remains.
Sealed in the secret realm is the ancient Zhongzhou battlefield.
Among them are the remains of thousands of sects, and countless monks who died in that battle. The souls of many powerful monks have dissipated but their bodies are not destroyed. Over tens of thousands of years, the remaining thoughts interacted with the corrupt will in the secret realm, causing those bodies to stand up again and become monsters with only the nature of killing - these monsters are the ancient remains.
It is said that there are monks who have encountered immortal ancient cultivators in secret realms.
However, there was little eyewitness evidence to support the claim, so they were eventually identified as ancient remains.
"Master, the Zhongzhou Secret Realm is very dangerous! You must not treat it as an ordinary sect mission. After entering the secret realm, you must gather according to the sect's signal as soon as possible. Do not act alone! The Zhongzhou Secret Realm is completely isolated from the outside world. This seat and the elders have no chance to save you. You can only rely on yourselves and your fellow disciples. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Sect Master!" all the disciples shouted in unison.
"Very good, you will go to Zhongzhou with me tomorrow! Have a good rest tonight and recharge your energy!"
In previous years, before going to Zhongzhou, the atmosphere in the whole sect was very tense, like a taut string.
This year is different. Su Qinian and his disciples all have confident smiles on their faces, and they are ready to plunder the Zhongzhou secret realm. All this is because the ancestor has given them a lot of resources. These resources cover many aspects, not only improving personal strength but also good things for self-defense and saving lives in crises.
With such an ancestor, what more could I ask for?
All the disciples flew back to Luoxia Peak on their swords, but Li Qingran was the only one who did not rush to pay a visit to Su Qinian.
"It's Qingran." Su Qinian stroked his beard and smiled, squinting his eyes: "Why don't you go back to Luoxia Peak? What instructions does the ancestor have?"
"Master wants some blood from the Sect-Suppressing Beast." Li Qingran bowed and said everything, "If the Sect-Suppressing Beast is not convenient, the ancestor said your blood would be fine."
"You want the blood of the sect-guarding beast?" Su Qinian was stunned for a moment, and his hand stroking his beard paused. He said hesitantly, "Did the ancestor say what the blood is for? If not, then forget it. I will go get it for you now... But, how much blood does the ancestor need? Is five thousand kilograms enough? If it's more, the sect-guarding beast will be bled to death..."
"Ah, not that much." Li Qingran smiled dryly and waved his hands.
Are you kidding me? Five thousand kilograms is enough to weigh a lord beast, right?
"Master said that they encountered a monster similar to the Suppressing Beast over there, and he wanted to study the blood of the Suppressing Beast to see if there was any way to subdue the monster."
"So that's how it is. Since they are similar, they are most likely from the same source. The big monster is stubborn and it took me a lot of effort to subdue Daha. If the ancestor uses Daha's blood to lure it, maybe there is a chance that the big monster can be subdued."
Su Qinian nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration for the ancestor.
"You wait here, I'll be right back!"
Having said that, the Pavilion Master soared into the air on his flying sword.
But in a moment, Li Qingran heard a heart-wrenching howl from the guardian beast in the back mountain.
After waiting for a while, Su Qinian returned on a flying sword, holding a half-person-high bathtub in his hand, which was full of the blood of the Zhenzong Beast.
"Look, there are about four or five hundred kilograms in here, please feel free to use it, old ancestor. If it's not enough, you can ask me for more. Don't be polite. It's not my blood anyway, hehe." Su Qinian put a bucket of blood in front of Li Qingran.
"Then Qingran will thank Master on his behalf."
"Hehe, no problem~"
In the back mountain, the Zhenzong beast Daha howled at the moon, his eyes filled with tears.
There was a sword stuck in the fattest part of her butt.
Blood gushed out from the sword.
This injury is nothing to me.
But the mental humiliation is heavier than the pain of the wound!
As the saying goes, revenge never takes overnight. Ming Jian Pavilion's entire sect was dispatched to the Zhongzhou secret realm, leaving only the strange old man in the Sutra Pavilion and the violent woman in the ancestral hall.
By then, the entire sect's back mountain will be unobstructed.
The situation is bound to make that old man Su Qinian pay a heavy price!
…
"Chen Huai'an, you used this thing to kill the King-level Bone Porcelain Bodhisattva yesterday?"
The Demon Slayer Bureau headquarters meeting room.
In front of Chen Huaian was a porcelain bottle dripped with the blood of the clan-suppressing beast, and opposite him sat five old men.
These five old men are the current leaders of the Demon Killing Division Headquarters. Four of them are from aristocratic families, and only one is the original real power holder of the Demon Killing Division Headquarters. The other leaders of the Demon Killing Division Headquarters have either resigned or been transferred.
The person asking the question was the old man in the middle, the patriarch of the Wang family - Wang Jingshan.
Before the Great Leiyin Temple appeared in Kunlun Fairy Palace, he was one of the strongest generals in the Chinese region and was given the nickname - Wild Wind.
He practiced the magic handed down from generation to generation in the Wang family, and soon after the spiritual energy revival began, he became the first batch of beneficiaries. He understood the meaning of the magic, and a ball of energy that looked like a sword appeared in his mind.
Now, this air mass has a specific explanation along with the missionary work of Kunlun Fairy Palace.
It's called spiritual root.
Relying on his spiritual roots, he challenged the Kunlun Palace steps and ranked 4,000th, which allowed him to enter the inner gate. His future was limitless. When the Demon Slayer Division was completely controlled by his Wang family, he would go to the Kunlun Palace to practice the real immortal method.
As for the breathing method that he had been longing for?
What is that?
Those stubborn mud-legged guys in the Demon Slayer Division were eagerly practicing these filthy things.
"Yes, the reason why I was able to defeat the enemy is because of this thing." Chen Huaian smiled and pushed the blood porcelain bottle over.
"Are you sure? But this blood porcelain bottle looks like it was made in a kiln."
Wang Jingshan held the porcelain bottle and examined it for a while before passing it to the other four demon slayers for inspection.
It is undeniable that this is a good thing. There are obvious fluctuations of spiritual energy on it, and it is obviously a spiritual object.
But it doesn't look like something that can stimulate sword energy...
If Lin Chen hadn't sworn to heaven that Chen Huaian had killed the Bone Porcelain Bodhisattva with one sword, he wouldn't have believed it and would have identified the person who fired the sword as Wang Shouyi. After all, Chen Huaian had always relied on thunder magic and talismans to kill people, and he had never been seen showing his swordsmanship.
"Of course I am sure." Chen Huai'an looked at the five old men with sincere eyes and said anxiously, "The thing that restrains the bone china Bodhisattva is this blood porcelain bottle. The blood porcelain woman living in it has a deep hatred for the bone china Bodhisattva. You should have checked the historical data behind the Jinde Town Kiln Cave. You know very well why there is a hatred."
"That is to say, the sword was actually made by the Blood Porcelain Girl?"
“Yes.”
"Then how do we wake up the blood porcelain girl?"
"Just a drop of blood."
