In a medium-sized fairyland, there is a sect hidden by a large formation of clouds and mist. Three large characters "Tongtian Sword Sect" are clearly engraved on the gate!
However, although this sect has an impressive name, its interior is extremely dilapidated. Not only is there no one around, but many of the buildings within the sect also show signs of damage.
Even the square in front of the meeting hall was filled with flying swords that had lost their aura, like a desolate and silent sword tomb.
This doesn't look like a functioning sect at all, but rather like a ruins.
However, in a cave deep inside the sect, there is an old man and a young man living in seclusion here to practice.
"Old man, Yan Guan suddenly closed his eyes for hundreds of years that day. Is he going to finish playing or run away?"
Fan Mengyi put down the jade slip in her hand and suddenly looked at You Wanxing who was sitting cross-legged not far away doing his exercises.
"That's nonsense. The master of the temple is the Taoist ancestor, and he has the Heavenly Artifact in his hand. Even the Heavenly Court has to give him some mercy. How can he be as unbearable as you said?"
Although You Wanxing scolded him, his tone was not harsh. He was already used to Fan Mengyi's modest personality.
"Then why are we not allowed to use Tianyan Yi all of a sudden?
I finally gathered the points of providence and am about to push the Tongtian Sword Code to the next level."
Fan Mengyi didn't really think anything would happen to Tian Yan Guan, but she was eager to acquire new skills.
After practicing the Tongtian Sword Code, she no longer tolerates other sword techniques.
I really don’t understand how the Tongtian Sword Sect with such a mysterious sword technique failed in the first place. Maybe this technique was incomplete from the beginning.
"I have asked several friends. The reason why the temple is closed is because a Taoist ancestor from heaven is coming to visit, and the temple owner needs to meet him in person.
Of course it won't be short for a Taoist-level powerful man to sit down and talk about Taoism, so please be patient."
You Wanxing still closed his eyes and practiced his martial arts.
He has barely recovered from the damage caused by his previous injuries, so he has basically spent the whole day doing exercises to recuperate over the past few years.
It is worth mentioning that You Wanxing did not actually need such a long recovery time, but because he left most of his resources to Fan Mengyi's training, it was delayed until today.
Anyway, he is a Taiyi monk and has no worries about the decline of heaven and humans. Time is not valuable to him.
"Is that so? Hey, if you don't come early, you won't come later. I just want to use the Tianyan Yi. It would be great if the Tianyan Yi could appear directly in front of me."
Fan Mengyi didn't like waiting, but she could only complain at the moment.
But just when she was about to go out to refine her sword, circles of rich white light suddenly appeared in the cave.
Before the two of them could react, the space in the center of the white light fluctuated, and a heavy object hit the ground.
Such a big movement naturally shocked You Wanxing and opened his eyes, but the moment he saw the heavy object clearly, he was stunned.
"Tianyanyi!"
What's going on? Does Fan Mengyi still have the innate ability to follow his words?!
And when he exclaimed, a white beam of light burst out from the center of the Tianyan Yi, directly covering Fan Mengyi in it.
Suddenly, Fan Mengyi felt a large amount of information pouring into her soul, causing her pupils to enlarge and she stood there unable to move.
You Wanxing was very anxious when he saw this, but he didn't dare to take action rashly because he didn't know the situation.
But it's not like he didn't do anything. Instead, he took out a formation plate and started to activate the mountain-protecting formation with all his strength to cover up the aura emitted by Tian Yanyi!
Luo Hong knew nothing about the changes in Tianyan Temple, and he was still refining Tianwai meteorites in the Tianwai Territory.
A full seven days passed in this way before all the meteorites that were pulled were refined and turned into the Qi of the Absolute Beginning surrounding the small black ball.
"This is called practice!"
Luo Hong suddenly felt relieved. After this wave, both the Lost Sky Bell and the Golden Soul Flame could be upgraded to second-grade immortal weapons, reaching the same level as the Sky-Breaking Spear.
Correspondingly, his Taichu Principle cultivation can also be upgraded to the middle stage of Daluo, and his strength will soon experience a surge.
"Hmph! Tianyan Temple, offense and defense are about to change shape!"
It was as if a big mountain had been moved from his heart. Luo Hong had never felt as relaxed as he did today since his ascension.
"Huh? There's a situation!"
Just when Luo Hong had just put away the little black ball, he suddenly felt darkness in the distance and couldn't help but focus his eyes to look over.
There is naturally no sun in the outer realm, but because all kinds of fairy materials exposed on the surface of the meteorite emit spiritual light, the environment is not dark.
The current situation is that the spiritual light coming from far ahead seems to be suddenly blocked by something, which makes Luo Hong feel abnormal.
With his spiritual vision, Luo Hong saw that it was actually a huge black cloud, sweeping towards him like a tide.
The black cloud kept rolling, and various shadows could be vaguely seen flashing inside, which looked extremely strange.
"It turns out to be Tianmoyun."
Tianmoyun was one of the three major dangers in the outer world, but after all, it was not an unknown danger. Luo Hong quickly relaxed.
"It seems that they sensed the movement I made and came here to hunt me.
What should we do? Should we collect them? There are such a large number of them, and they will be of some use in practicing the dark spirit anti-god technique."
Luo Hong's current soul cultivation level has reached the middle stage of Da Luo, and it will be very difficult to improve every point in the future.
Otherwise, he would not think of going to the Netherworld to capture Taiyi or even Daluo-level Yin beasts to help him cultivate.
"Forget it, it still takes a lot of time to conquer so many demons. It's not worth delaying my plan just for such a small improvement."
Luo Hong thought about it and was ready to give up.
Because he has already left a spatial imprint on the Ascension Altar, he can move back directly as long as he activates the laws of space.
"Wait a minute! Main body, since you don't want it, can you give me this demonic cloud?"
At this moment, a voice sounded in Luo Hong Yuan Shen.
"King of Ghosts? What do you want with so many demons?"
Luo Hong was suddenly a little surprised. He had not paid attention to this incarnation of his for a long time, and he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to make a request at this time.
"Soldiers cannot be neglected for a day, nor can they be used forever. The ghost soldiers under my command need a battle to remove the good ones, and the ones left behind can also greatly improve their cultivation!"
The Ghost King immediately sent a message and replied.
"Are you sure that the ghost soldiers under your command can contend with so many demons?"
It's not that Luo Hong looks down on the Ghost King, it's that the demonic cloud in front of him is really huge, with an area of more than 100 million feet, it's so dark, and its momentum is extremely terrifying!
Moreover, there are not just ordinary demons in the demon cloud, there are also many beings above true immortals.
"Noumenon, do you think I've been doing nothing all these years?
Release me and my ghost army, and you will understand."
The Ghost King actually said very confidently.
"Okay, I'll let you try it."
Luo Hong really didn't care much about the number of ghost soldiers in Netherworld Cave. After all, he only trained these ghost soldiers to improve the level of Netherworld Cave, and did not intend to use them against the enemy.
But now that the Ghost King mentioned it like this, he was really curious.
With a thought, a vortex of black mist with a diameter of tens of thousands of feet appeared above Luo Hong's head, and countless armored ghosts roared out like a torrent without any intention of stopping.
The black shadow flashed, and the Ghost King appeared beside Luo Hong.
"How about it? Is my army still strong?"
"It's my army."
Luo Hong emphasized.
The Ghost King's excited expression suddenly froze, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Noumenon, do you have to disturb my interest?"
"Even if your army is ready and the battle is about to begin, don't you need to go and take command?"
Luo Hong had already scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found that there were indeed enough ghost soldiers in the Netherworld Cave. The number actually exceeded 100 million.
The Ghost King probably spends his days training and training in addition to practicing.
"Ahem, I only have Taiyi cultivation level, how can I deal with so many opponents of the same level."
The Ghost King suddenly put on a smile and said.
"You speak so confidently, but it turns out I still need to take action."
Luo Hong suddenly felt a little speechless. He himself was not such a shameless person. Why was this incarnation not like him at all?
Please collect the book!
But cultivating a ghost army is indeed a serious matter.
Because the divine consciousness cannot penetrate too deep into the Demon Cloud, it cannot lock on those Demons above Tai Yi, and therefore cannot directly move them away.
So Luo Hong took out the Sky-Breaking Spear and directly formed a space barrier around the battlefield.
This barrier can only allow demons below Taiyi to pass through, which limits the level of the war.
"Haha, main body, just wait here for me to send you the good news!"
The Ghost King laughed loudly when he saw this, summoned a rather cool-looking skeleton chariot, and rushed towards the battlefield.
Soon, hundreds of millions of ghost armies collided with the Demonic Cloud.
Compared to the Heavenly Demons who were fighting on their own, the ghost soldiers had a tight formation and gained a huge advantage from the start, frantically killing the incoming Heavenly Demons.
But in terms of numbers, the demon side has an absolute advantage.
Under their attack, hundreds of millions of ghost armies were like a rock standing in the sea.
Although some gravel is taken away every time it is washed away, it still remains standing.
After just watching for a while, Luo Hong knew the outcome of this battle. Tianmoyun was a good whetstone, but it could only go so far.
Therefore, he set his sights on those incompetent and furious Taiyi Heavenly Demons who failed to enter the battlefield.
Soon, Luo Hong noticed a very special demon. His cultivation was not the highest among the many Taiyi demons, but he was the most unique. At this moment, he was looking at Luo Hong with a half-smile.
With just one glance, Luo Hong recognized the other person. He was the Xiongjiapu young man who had done business with him.
It is also one of the clones of the Demonic Dao Ancestor!
"It turns out he's a senior. It's been a long time since we last met."
Luo Hong didn't hesitate, and came to him in a flash, cupping his hands in front of him.
"Little friend, I have helped you before, and this is how you repay me?"
The frail young man still kept his smile, but his tone was extremely cold.
"It's just a whim. Anyway, not all demons are clones of seniors.
But if the seniors really care about it, the juniors will tell them to stop."
Luo Hong made a humble gesture and said.
"You are doing well in the Reincarnation Hall. In just a few thousand years, you have achieved such a level of cultivation."
The frail young man did not wonder why the trap he dug for Luo Hong in the past did not work.
After all, Luo Hong has already become a Da Luo monk, so it is normal for his scheme to be discovered.
Of course, he didn't let Luo Hong stop. Compared with the entire Heavenly Demon clan, that little bit of Heavenly Demon was simply dispensable.
"Thanks to the palace master for the support."
Luo Hong directly put the blame on the head of the Master of Samsara Hall.
"Hmph, I just wonder if my little friend would like to attend the Demon Conference with me?"
After more than two thousand years, the frail young man once again extended an invitation to Luo Hong.
"The Demon Conference? This junior doesn't know much about it."
Luo Hong looked puzzled. The last time he met the frail young man, he asked about the relevant situation, but the other party did not inform him.
Later, Luo Hong also inquired through various channels including the Heavenly Court, but did not get any information. The level of secrecy was surprisingly high.
"Originally I couldn't reveal this to you, but looking at you, it's obvious that you already know a lot about me from that guy in Samsara, so it doesn't hurt to reveal a little more to you."
This guy is a Daluo monk, but after seeing me, a Taiyi Heavenly Demon, he directly called me "senior."
Obviously, he knows my identity very well!
I don’t know what’s so special about this kid that makes that guy from Samsara trust him so much.
While the frail young man's thoughts were turning, he also spoke again:
"The Demon Conference is a gathering of all my true spirit clones. The result of the conference will determine who will take the lead the next time we merge, so it is very important to me."
"True spirit clone? Senior is really not an ordinary person!"
Luo Hong was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but secretly sighed.
The clones are either all one consciousness, or they have priorities. This can ensure that they are still themselves after being combined.
But there is another magic method among the magical powers of the clone, and that is the true spirit clone!
Because these clones all possess a bit of the true spirit of the original body, they are all the main body, and after being separated for a long time, their consciousness will be greatly differentiated.
Even if they are reunited later, this differentiation will not disappear.
To put it bluntly, it is super multiple personality split!
But what amazed Luo Hong the most was that the Heavenly Demon Daozu could really reunite, and he had obviously done this more than once.
After all, it stands to reason that after the consciousness of the true spirit clone separates, it will definitely go its separate ways and will never be willing to merge again.
"Good guy, no wonder the outside world doesn't have any information about the Heavenly Demon Conference. This emotional conference was opened by the Heavenly Demon Daozu himself!"
"Why, are you scared? In fact, it's not as exaggerated as you think. With the Heavenly Demon Avenue as the connection, it is not difficult to merge.
And no matter what happens, there will be a bunch of you to discuss with you, isn’t that good?”
The frail young man does not see anything wrong with his own form of existence.
Luo Hong didn't want to get entangled with him on this issue, so he took the initiative to change the topic:
"Since it is such a private gathering, why would the senior invite the junior to it?"
"The conference respects force, and the true spirit clones cannot fight each other, otherwise it will weaken the combined cultivation, so outsiders will naturally be needed to help.
Originally you were just one of my alternatives, but now that you have Daluo cultivation, you have become my best choice!
How about it? As long as you help me win the conference, the benefits will be yours!"
The frail young man looked at Luo Hong with burning eyes.
