This red-haired black devil's name is Yan Jue, and he is a disciple of the Zhu Rong Sect. When he was still in the Nascent Soul stage in his early years, he was in danger on a mission and almost died, but was rescued by Sima Changqin.
Sima Changqin saw that Yan Jue had good aptitude and practiced hard enough, so he was taken under his command. He has been lavishing resources on him and training him secretly to this day.
These are everything Yan Jue knows about Sima Changqin.
Yan Jue and Sima Changqin had been together for hundreds of years, so it was impossible for him to only know this little thing.
"It seems that Yan Jue's memory has been processed! Sima Changqin is indeed a boundary keeper. He has many methods. Even though he is so far apart and has the space barrier of Stealing Heaven Cauldron, he can still eliminate the factors that are unfavorable to him." Yuan Ming murmured.
murmured to himself.
But having said that, Sima Changqin's erased memory was only part of it, and Yan Jue's other memories were still of great value.
For example, the technique this person practices is called "Sky Fire Sutra", which is the Zhurong Sect's suppression technique. It is extremely exquisite and far superior to his "Hunyuan Zhen Gong".
"Sky Fire Sutra" has seven levels in total. If you can complete all of them, you can reach the pinnacle of the art of controlling fire and be able to control all fires.
Even if they have only reached the sixth level of cultivation, practitioners can cast spells to turn their bodies into flames in a short period of time, thereby becoming immune to all physical attacks, which is quite difficult to deal with.
Previously, this person was seriously injured by Ulu with a highly poisonous weapon. He reluctantly used the method of transforming his body into fire that he had not yet mastered, and was able to withstand the erosion of the poison.
However, fortunately, Yan Jue has not yet broken through to the Dharma Stage, otherwise Yuan Ming would not have won this battle so easily.
In addition to the "Sky Fire Sutra", Yuan Ming also saw another important piece of information in Yan Jue's memory.
As a core disciple of the Zhu Rong Sect, Yan Jue is also proficient in the Zhu Rong Heart Technique and has reached the fifth level.
This person once entered the Zhu Rong Sect Fire Pool to practice, but unfortunately his talent in the Zhu Rong Heart Technique was not high and he failed to successfully break through.
By observing his memory, Yuan Ming saw the entire process of Zhu Rong Xin Jue's breakthrough, and also learned the complete secret method used in conjunction with it, which was of great significance to his subsequent breakthrough in Zhu Rong Xin Jue.
"If you're really sleepy, someone will give you a pillow." Yuan Ming's face beamed with joy.
He immediately took Yan Jue's storage magic weapon, his spiritual consciousness was absorbed into it, and he nodded.
Yan Jue's storage magic weapon was quite rich, and a large number of spiritual stones were found in it. After a brief inventory, there were about seven to eight million.
In addition, he also has a large amount of fire-attribute spiritual materials in his possession. Most of them are medicinal materials used to refine elixirs to assist in cultivation. There are also a few items used to refine weapons, and the grades are all very good.
As for magic weapons, there are not many. Among them, the one that Yuan Ming values the most is the red jade talisman that Yan Jue used before. It is a spiritual treasure of high quality, called "Xuanhuo Zhenjian"
.
This is a legacy from a senior who understood the true meaning of fire. It can be used to control flames, objects formed by flames, and even to a certain extent, it can also control the flame attacks launched by enemies.
In Yan Jue's memory, he admired the senior who was only known as "Zhenhuo Zhenren", and yearned for the true meaning of fire he understood.
"It turned out to be a spiritual treasure left by someone who understood the true meaning of fire. No wonder it is so powerful..." Yuan Ming rubbed the red jade talisman and murmured.
He had seen the term "True Meaning of Fire" in the classics, and the so-called "True Meaning of Fire" was the Dao bonus given to a practitioner whose compatibility with the fire-attribute spiritual power reached an unprecedented level and was recognized by the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
People who have obtained the true meaning of fire can naturally mobilize the fire-attribute spiritual power between heaven and earth by using fire-attribute spells. Therefore, even a casual fireball spell is far more powerful than a monk of the same level.
Moreover, everyone practices different techniques and has different experiences, and the true meaning of fire they understand is also different. Some people understand the true meaning of fire, and some people understand the true meaning of scorching heat. As for the true meaning of Xuanhuo, what they understand is the true meaning of fire.
The true meaning of fire control.
Understanding the true meaning of fire has more than that. It is said that one of the conditions for advancing to the Mahayana stage is to understand the true meaning of the five elements, and the true meaning of fire is one of them.
Yuan Ming put away these things and searched for the souls of Zheng Heng and He Xiuwen, who had recovered a lot.
The same goes for Zheng Heng, whose memory of Sima Changqin was erased.
Zheng Heng is a disciple of Beihan Palace, and he is also a highly regarded inner disciple. Like Yan Jue, he was taken under Sima Changqin's command many years ago. After that, he has been trained by Sima Changqin for a long time, and has practiced all the way to the present.
The size of Beihan Palace is no worse than that of Zhurong Sect, and the two are quite hostile to a certain extent. Although they are not incompatible with each other and live and die, the disciples of the sect also have conflicts from time to time.
Therefore, Sima Changqin was able to take Zheng Heng and Yan Jue under his command at the same time, which was quite a trick.
The technique that Zheng Heng practices is also the Zhenpai technique of his sect, called "Northern Han Tianzun Kung Fu". It is an ice-attribute technique. If you practice it to the extreme, you can master a variety of ice magical powers.
Its power of coldness can even break through the restraint of the power of fire and defeat fire.
As for He Xiuwen's information, Yuan Ming has already obtained a lot of information from Nan Shangfeng, and this time the soul search did not yield much inside information.
However, he discovered a puppet master technique called "True Jie of Heavenly Puppet" in He Xiuwen's memory.
This technique is very unique. When practiced to an advanced level, the physical body and soul can gradually merge with the puppet. If it can be cultivated to the highest level, it can be refined into the body of a heavenly puppet. At that time, it will be able to get rid of the limitation of life span and become immortal.
It's just that the cultivation process of "True Jie of Heavenly Puppet" is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will end up in a state of disgrace.
He Xiuwen's scarecrow was the product of a monk who practiced "The True Interpretation of the Heavenly Puppet" and merged with the puppet and accidentally died.
He Xiuwen admired "The True Explanation of the Heavenly Puppet" and tried to practice it once. Unfortunately, due to lack of qualifications, he had no choice but to give up after practicing for only a few levels. As for the scarecrow, he refined it into something that was half puppet and half spiritual treasure.
Later, Yuan Ming checked the two of them's stored magic weapons and found a lot of magic weapons and various spiritual materials inside. After counting, he found that the two people also had a lot of spiritual stone reserves, totaling more than two thousand.
Ten thousand.
Including the spiritual stones from Yan Jue, Yuan Ming's harvest of light spiritual stones this time has exceeded 30 million, which can be said to be a huge harvest.
Yuan Ming looked at the three of them, pondered for a moment and then did not take action to kill him. He planted the soul descending rune in the sea of consciousness of He Xiuwen and the others. Then he raised his hand and waved, and the Dream Butterfly Seal suddenly shone with light, and a majestic divine soul flowed out.
The force immediately enveloped the entire space of the Tianthioding Cauldron.
Under the influence of the power of the Dream Butterfly Seal, the surrounding scenery changed, and the original spatial furnishings disappeared, replaced by a green bamboo forest rippling in the breeze.
Yuan Ming raised his hand and woke up the three of them.
After waking up, all three of them had wary looks on their faces, but they were all surprisingly calm and did not take action against Yuan Ming.
They probably knew in their hearts that they were no match for Yuan Ming in the previous battles, and they were even less likely to win now.
"It seems that you are all smart people." Yuan Ming said with a smile, stroking his hands.
"My fellow Taoist Wan took action against you before, but I was ordered to do so. I wonder if you can spare our lives?" Zheng Heng was the first to speak and asked.
When he asked the question, Yan Jue and He Xiuwen both looked over at the same time, obviously also asking this question.
"Don't worry, Wan is not a murderous person. Although you have just besieged me, there is no life-or-death enmity between us and we will not kill you." Yuan Ming said.
When Zheng Heng and the other three heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"I admire your abilities very much. I can't let you go, but you can choose to be loyal to me. I can protect you from death and live a good life." Yuan Ming said with a calm expression and a smile.
"You want to conquer us?" Yan Jue said in surprise.
"Yes, you are not weak. I need some strong subordinates now." Yuan Ming said frankly.
"Then you'd better kill me." Yan Jue said calmly.
"Why, since you can be loyal to the piano demon, why can't you follow me?" Yuan Ming was not surprised and asked in a calm tone.
"Lord Sima is a benefactor to me. I am loyal to you in order to repay my kindness. If I am loyal to you, it is to survive, which has a completely different meaning." Yan Jue said.
Zheng Heng's face was indifferent, and there was even a little ridicule in the corner of his mouth, which obviously meant this.
On the other hand, He Xiuwen's eyes were rolling, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't.
"Practice is not easy, especially to reach the point where you are. Do you really want to give up everything just for the sake of impulse?" Yuan Ming looked at Zheng Heng and Yan Jue and asked calmly.
The expressions of Yan Jue and Zheng Heng were slightly confused, but they quickly returned to indifference.
"It seems you two have some ideas. How about we make a bet? Let fate decide the matter." Yuan Ming said with a smile.
"Bet? What to bet on?" Zheng Heng opened his eyes and said.
"Wan is proficient in illusions. In the next day, I will lock you into an illusion space that I constructed. In addition to going through the illusion test, you will not be attacked in any way. As long as you can persist for a full day without
If you collapse, I will let you go. On the contrary, if you can't persist, then you will join me and work for me." Yuan Ming said.
After listening to his words, both Zheng Heng and Yan Jue fell silent. No one spoke for a while, and they seemed to be entangled.
In the end, it was Zheng Heng who spoke first and asked: "My fellow Taoist Wan is proficient in illusions. He has used soul attacks many times in previous battles. It seems that you are a soul cultivator. I wonder what level you have reached?"
"Yan Wu, I'm going to create a Ming Yue Sect and recruit three of you under my command. I just want you to believe in Wan." Yuan Ming said.
"Okay, let's make an agreement." Zheng Heng pondered for a moment and nodded.
His "Bei Han Tian Zun Gong" contains a Ice Heart Technique, which has miraculous effects against illusions and inner demons.
The Wan Tianren in front of him is just a witch, and he is still confident that he can survive the illusion.
If he couldn't survive it, it would be enough for him to be loyal to Sima Changqin to this point.
"Where is Fellow Taoist Yan Jue?" Yuan Ming looked at the other person.
"Since Zheng Heng agreed, Yan also agreed." Yan Jue hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
If he could survive, he would naturally not want to die, so this test should be regarded as his last struggle.
Yuan Ming looked at He Xiuwen, who immediately nodded.
He doesn't have the die-hard loyalty of Yan Jue and Zheng Heng. If he hadn't been concerned about face just now, he would have agreed to surrender.
"Then it's settled. Let me remind the three of you that if you can't hold on any longer, you can pray to the God of the Dark Moon. As long as you make a sincere wish, I will liberate you in advance." Yuan Ming said, showing them
The statue of the moon god.
The three of them nodded in agreement, and Yuan Ming took out an hourglass and placed it next to him to calculate the time, and asked the three of them to put a seal around the hourglass to prevent them from thinking that he was cheating.
When Zheng Heng and the other three saw this scene, they couldn't help but become worried.
Yuan Ming acts so openly and aboveboard, is he really sure of conquering them?
