"Black Mist, the magic weapon of this door must have been destroyed by the beholder." He looked at the pattern on the door, with a large character on the left and right sides.

On the left is "country" and on the right is "immortal".

Apparently the builders at that time called this underground shelter a fairyland.

"But now, I'm afraid it no longer exists." Ikehashi shook his head, lowered his expectations again, and opened the door to the fairyland.

As the door opened, a rotten smell came out.

Ikehashi shined a flashlight inside, and the light of 100,000 lumens was enough to illuminate everything like daylight.

What you see is corpses everywhere, as well as collapsed rubble, which blocks most of the stone chamber that was supposed to be the hall. However, compared to the skeletons on the passage, these corpses still retain rotten flesh.

Even Ikehashi Matsu squatted on the ground and examined a corpse, and found that the corpse turned out to be the remains of an immortal.

"However, only the artistic conception of the immortal remains. The corpse has been contaminated by the poison of calamity and has become an ordinary corpse without power."

He crossed over the collapsed rubble and walked deeper into the hall, discovering that this underground paradise was a huge hollowed-out underground city, with an area no less than that of a human city.

The outer walls are all built with magic weapons, which can be said to have used a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

It's a pity that it has collapsed and destroyed now. No matter how many people survived in the past, only the remains of the corpses that were destroyed by the poison of the calamity are left.

He saw seal script inscriptions from that time left on the walls of many stone chambers.

These carvings vaguely record the encounters on the eve of the destruction of the dungeon.

"The devil is coming!"

"If the Lord of the City dies outside, we will all die!"

"Yunhong, if there are six realms of reincarnation, I would like to be with you happily in every life, whether it is the human realm or the animal realm."

"How can we resist the demon? The fairy city has been riddled with demon invasions, and more and more people are becoming demons, but there must be a solution!"

"I'm going crazy too, my body is changing, I..."

"As long as heaven and earth live, as long as heaven and earth live, but heaven and earth will also perish!"

"Have fun!"

Looking at the seal carvings on the wall, some were carved carefully and some were carved hastily, Ikehashi Matsu kept summarizing in his mind, and it gradually became clear.

"Bewitched."

"This underground city failed to stop the calamity. Everyone was invaded by demons, and then became neither human nor ghost, and eventually perished like this city."

He saw a human corpse, but half of the body had changed into a strange shape, as if countless tentacles were piercing through it.

The remains of this corpse have a strong Immortal spirit, and it is obviously an Immortal with profound Taoist cultivation. In the middle of his demonic spell, he directly shattered his true spirit and died.

"So, this demonization is a demon rising from the human body?"

"If you put it this way, isn't that beholder a mixture of countless humans?"

Ikehashi Matsu had many doubts in his heart and frowned: "Logically speaking, these immortals should be able to disguise themselves as monsters and avoid being bewitched. After all, I can do the same."

This was something he didn't understand very much.

His strength is far inferior to those of the legendary immortals, especially the Great Luo Jinxian who condensed the Dao Fruit.

However, Daluo Jinxian also fell into the calamity crisis, but he was able to rely on a tree to build a fairyland and walk freely under the eyes of the beholder.

"So, how does this calamity work? Why do all things in the earthly and immortal world, including little things like cats, dogs, and mice, become possessed by demons?"

Suddenly.

A possibility made his eyes light up.

"Could it be that the calamity only targets the Earthly Immortal Realm, and that the direction of heaven's movement in the earthly immortal world is wrong, which triggers the calamity to be restarted? I come from the lower world, so naturally I am not within the scope of the calamity restart?"

Therefore, the beholder can only kill Ikehashi Matsu through physical means and cannot directly cause Ikehashi to become bewitched.

"It's very possible. After all, when the calamity of the Earthly Immortal Realm is restarted, it's the Dao of Heaven that's restarted. Everything in the Earthly Immortal Realm is imprinted in the Dao of Heaven, so it will naturally lead to demons."

Ikehashi Matsu is not a member of the Earthly Immortal Realm. At least before the calamity occurred, he did not imprint his true spirit on the Heavenly Way of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

but.

If the beholder projects into the lower realm and pollutes and restarts the Heavenly Way in Daxia's small world, I'm afraid Ikehashi Matsu will have to follow suit and become a demon.

"But then again, why didn't the spiritual roots of the water hyacinth, wintersweet, and citron tree follow the path of heaven in the earthly immortal world and destroy them together?"

There are still many doubts.

But at least from this dungeon, he found a lot of information about the time when the catastrophe occurred, and the most important thing is - the creation of demons.

"No wonder even Daluo Jinxian can't withstand the crisis of calamity. This demon does not invade from the outside world, but directly invades from the way of heaven, and creates demons from the very foundation of existence. It is difficult to resist, it is difficult to resist..."

Ikehashi Matsu continued to search in the ruins of the dungeon.

It can be seen that after becoming evil, many immortals went crazy in the dungeon, causing the dungeon to quickly collapse.

However, Ikehashimatsu soon found a intact stone hall. It was magnificently built, like an underground garden, but without the dim lights of the past.

"That's... spiritual root!"

In the center of the garden pool, on a tiny island surrounded by stones, stood a small, half-dead tree. Its leaves had almost fallen off, with only a few withered yellow leaves hanging on it.

There is almost no realm of immortal energy around, which shows how critical this spiritual root is.

However, what attracted Ikehashi Matsu's attention more than this spiritual root was the crystal box placed at the root of the spiritual root, which contained a red bird's egg.

The faint breath of life comes from this red bird egg.

"This is?"

Ikehashi stretched out his hand to touch the egg, and he could feel the warm temperature on it. The eggshell had exquisite and gorgeous patterns, which immediately reminded him of an auspicious animal: "Phoenix, this egg is a phoenix."

Egg!"

in the Legends.

When the Phoenix dies, it can reach nirvana and be reborn from the flames.

"I never expected that even in the midst of a calamity crisis, this phoenix could achieve nirvana. However, its vitality is in danger and needs to be treated as soon as possible."

The underground city is dark, and the spiritual roots of the small tree are half dead. If it goes on for a long time, it will definitely not be able to wait for the phoenix egg to reach nirvana.

And even if a new phoenix emerges from the phoenix egg, it will still be destroyed by the beholder.

He did not mess with the eggs and spiritual roots for the time being, but hurriedly checked the dungeon that had not yet been searched to make sure that the dungeon had been completely destroyed.

Then he turned around and held the phoenix egg in his arms.

Then a small, half-dead tree came back with a message: "The spiritual root of the Fengqi sycamore tree is endless and does not enter reincarnation. Taking it can bring you back to life. It is currently in a critical condition and needs treatment."

"So this is the spiritual root of Fengqi Wutong tree!" Ikehashi Matsu felt relieved.

After traveling through time, the first two external spiritual roots he obtained were the colorful gourd vine spiritual root and the Fengqi sycamore tree spiritual root. The Fengqi phoenix tree spiritual root was the ancient Fengqi sycamore tree spirit.

The dead branch of the root takes an opportunity from heaven and earth to be reborn.

Unexpectedly, he ascended to the upper world and found the real spiritual root of Fengqi Wutong tree.

"I wonder if there is still a chance to find the calabash vine spiritual root!" A thought flashed through his mind.

Immediately, he stirred up the soil and sealed the spiritual roots of the Fengqi Wutong tree. Then he took the phoenix egg and quietly left this former underground Paradise Kingdom, now the Cave of Despair.

Return to the ground.

Turn off the flashlight and look at the dark passage entrance.

Ikehashi Matsu felt inexplicably sad in his heart: "Being possessed by demons... In this world of immortals, whether they are as humble as ants or as high as Da Luo Jinxian, I am afraid they have become possessed by demons..."

Shaked his head.
