"What do you think of fellow Taoist Zhou? Is this scenery of Chixia Mountain worthy of my eyes?"
In the wild jungle, on a majestic crimson mountain peak, the "Suzaku Demon King" Zhu Zizhen and Zhou Yang were sitting on a stone platform at the top of the mountain, drinking tea and admiring the various beautiful scenery below.
"It is indeed a pure land and fairy mountain. It is very different from the Demon King's Cave that I have seen in other places."
Zhou Yang responded casually to Zhu Zizhen's words, but his eyes were a little erratic, as if he was absent-minded.
After seeing this, Zhu Zizhen's face condensed slightly, and he narrowed his eyes and said bluntly: "Fellow Taoist Zhou seems to be a little absent-minded. Is it possible that the king's reception made fellow Taoist dissatisfied?"
After Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "No, Senior Zhu misunderstood. The reason why the junior is distracted has nothing to do with the senior. Chun Ye just has something on his mind."
"Oh, with Zhou Daoyou's current cultivation strength and connections, is there anything else that cannot be solved?"
Zhu Zizhen's eyes flashed with interest, and he looked at him curiously and asked, "Do you think it's convenient for Fellow Daoist Zhou to tell me?"
"It's not something that can't be discussed. Since Senior Zhu is also practicing in the wild jungle, this matter may be able to give some guidance to the younger generation."
Zhou Yang said, telling the whole story of why he sent Jiang Fengxian and his daughter to the Tianfeng Clan, as well as the reason why the mother and daughter disappeared.
After he learned the details from [Tianfeng Clan] Grand Elder Qing Lan that day, he thought that with his current cultivation strength, he could not continue to investigate the matter, so he directly returned the same way and diverted to the underground magma sea.
Cave Mansion, and then was invited by Zhu Zizhen to the location of his real cave home as a guest.
It's just that this incident will always be in his heart and he can't forget it.
After listening to his narration, Zhu Zizhen frowned at first, as if she was pondering something. After a while, she seemed to have finished pondering, and looked at Zhou Yang in a clear voice and said:
"I have also heard of the [Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits]. There are also several demon kings who have practiced for a long time in the wild jungle. I happen to have some friendship with one of the senior demon kings. Maybe I can help you, Daoist friend Zhou.
Ask and see what the senior demon king thinks of this matter."
After saying that, she shook her head slightly and said bluntly: "But please forgive me for being blunt, if you, Daoyou Zhou, want to forcefully break into the secret realm, you will not be able to escape from the secret realm unless you survive the catastrophe and become a true immortal.
Those who came out safely, the true strength of the [Qingli Clan] and other wild alien tribes, each of them may not be weaker than the Yulong Clan!"
Compared to Zhou Yang, she has been practicing in the wild jungle, and she obviously has a better understanding of the strength of the most powerful tribes among the wild alien races.
There are many demon kings as powerful as her in the wild jungle, but the most powerful forces recognized here are still those wild alien races, which can be seen from this.
"This junior naturally understands the difficulty of breaking into the secret realm, so he doesn't dare to act rashly!"
Zhou Yang sighed and nodded, expressing his agreement with Zhu Zizhen's words.
Then he looked at Zhu Zizhen with an expectant look and asked: "Senior Zhu, you are very knowledgeable, but in your opinion, what the great elder of the [Tianfeng Clan] said was the cause of the violent changes in the [Mysterious Realm of All Spirits]
, is it true or false?”
His words of "knowledgeable" are not polite words.
Zhu Zizhen's identity and background make her fully worthy of this praise.
Zhou Yang also found out after specifically asking Master Qingyang that Zhu Zizhen, in addition to being a demon king, was also a member of the most powerful demon clan in the "Linghuan Realm" [Demon Holy Palace].
[Demon Saint Palace] is a demon clan force established since ancient times. Its palace owner [Chiyuan Spirit Saint] is a being who participated in the war between immortals and demons in ancient times. It can be said to be the oldest and most powerful in the "Linghuan Realm".
exist.
Although this existence has not appeared in public for tens of thousands of years, the top demon kings all claim that he is still alive, and none of the true immortals in the human race who have passed through the tribulation period have spoken out to deny this.
As the strongest force of the demon clan, although the number of members of the [Demon Holy Palace] is extremely rare, each member is a sixth-level demon king, and only those demon kings with great potential to become seventh-level true spirits will be absorbed.
Join it.
Naturally, as a powerful force that has been inherited from ancient times, [Demon Holy Palace] has rich records of various ancient secrets, which is no better than [Great Light Immortal Palace], a human force that has also been inherited from ancient times.
Worse, even stronger.
As Zhu Zi is a formal member of the [Demon Holy Palace], he is certainly qualified to read those ancient secret information.
"In ancient times, there were indeed powerful beings who descended into this world. However, it should be impossible for the main body to descend to this world. The will of the world's heaven will not allow beings with power beyond the limits of this world to enter this world.
boundary!"
"But [Mysterious Realm of All Spirits] itself belongs to the cave world. Although it depends on this world to exist, it is a semi-independent world after all. Whether the will of heaven in this world can monitor the situation inside in time, I am not sure. I estimate that even if
Even those true immortals in the Tribulation Stage may not know it clearly."
"It is not impossible to create a secret technique to bypass this point with the supernatural power of the powerful being in the above world."
Zhu Zi's answer was somewhat ambiguous. It seemed to answer Zhou Yang's question, but in fact it still failed to solve Zhou Yang's question and could not give him a definite answer.
"Senior Zhu said about the arrival of the clone of a powerful being. This junior had already seen it when he was cultivating in the immortal world in Beitingzhou. Although the clone of the powerful being in the real demon world at that time was powerful, it only had magical powers and secret arts. His own magic power
It’s not so strong that it’s unbelievable.”
Zhou Yang calmly talked about what he had seen and heard, and then murmured to himself thoughtfully: "The latter statement does make sense, and it also clears up some of the doubts of this junior, who may know what to do!
"
But he thought of his master [Donglai Zhenren], well, maybe now he should call him [Donglai Zhenjun].
[Zhenjun Donglai], however, also gave him a long-term mission, which is to take out the innate spiritual object [Innate Five Elements Jade] buried under the boundless sea of sand, and then use the method passed down by him to transmit it to the "True
Go to the fairyland.
Since things can be sent to the "True Immortal Realm", it will not be difficult to have another cross-border communication with [True Lord Donglai] when the time comes.
Maybe he can ask [True Lord Donglai] about Jiang Fengxian's mother and daughter then to see how the other party views the matter.
"As long as Fellow Daoist Zhou knows what to do."
Zhu Zizhen nodded slightly and did not ask Zhou Yang in detail what he thought. He knew the right balance very well.
Then she reached out to pick up the spiritual tea next to her and took a sip, and said softly: "No matter what Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to do, his own cultivation strength is the first priority. This time I invite Fellow Daoist to come to this cave as a guest.
It is also to thank fellow Taoist for giving me the [Suzaku Fan], and I want to give you something in return that will be of great benefit to your fellow Taoist’s cultivation!"
After saying that, she gently moved her hand, and a red light suddenly flew from the mountainside and landed on her shoulder. It turned out to be a red bird the size of a fist.
"Elixir of transformation!"
Zhou Yang looked at the bird on Zhu Zizhen's shoulder in surprise, and couldn't help blurting out the true identity of this thing.
Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!
It seemed that it was frightened by Zhou Yang's voice. The red bird that looked like a sparrow suddenly jumped up in fright and screamed at him, full of intelligence.
"Red Eyebrow has been with me for more than 1,200 years. Its body is a [Red Fire Ginseng] that is over 30,000 years old. It has been transformed for over 10,000 years, but it is limited by its roots.
There is almost no connection with the avenue!”
"Because of the lack of destiny, Red Eyebrow will store the spiritual energy that he usually absorbs and inhales into the ginseng fruit produced by his body. Every five hundred years, he can produce a [red ginseng fruit] equivalent to a sixth-level middle-grade elixir. This spirit
The spiritual energy inside the fruit is refined from the red eyebrow body, and is more suitable to be refined and absorbed by monks than any elixir. A single spiritual fruit can increase the cultivation level of a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul for seventy or eighty years!"
"There are still two mature ginseng fruits on the red eyebrow body that have not been harvested. These fruits are of little use to me, so I will give them to fellow Taoist Zhou as a thank you gift!"
Zhu Zizhen gently raised her jade hand and let the red bird land on it. While reaching out and gently stroking the feathers on the bird's back to comfort her, she softly explained to Zhou Yang the origin of the red bird's roots and legs.
Zhou Yang had long heard of the various legends about the "Elixir of Transformation". The fact that two "Elixir of Transformation" were destroyed at the hands of the old demon tree Qingyun on the [Donglai Immortal Island] was even more disturbing.
Every time he thought about it, his heart ached.
At this time, when he heard Zhu Zizhen talking about the origin and function of the roots and legs of the red bird in his hand, his eyes suddenly became intense when he looked at the red bird.
"Senior Zhu is really lucky!"
He sighed with envy on his face, then stood up and bowed his hands towards Zhu Zizhen and said: "Senior's kindness, I am ashamed of myself to accept it."
Now he really needs this kind of spiritual object to improve his cultivation. He really can't think of a reason to refuse Zhu Zizhen's gift.
Seeing this, Zhu Zizhen couldn't help but nodded slightly, accepted the gift, and then said in a soft tone to the red bird in his hand: "My dear, red eyebrow, go pick two ginseng fruits and bring them to Taoist Zhou."
Jiji!
The red bird chirped a few times reluctantly, and finally, after giving Zhou Yang a fierce look, it turned into a streak of fire and flew somewhere in the mountains.
Not long after, it flew back with two red-purple spiritual fruits the size of eggs.
Zhu Zizhen opened his jade hands and took out the spiritual fruit from the red bird's claw and handed it to Zhou Yang, saying softly: "Once this ginseng fruit is picked, it can only be stored for ten years at most. Fellow Daoist Zhou must take it and refine it in time to avoid wastage.
It took a lot of hard work for Chimei!"
"Junior understands, thank you Senior Zhu for the treasure."
Zhou Yang solemnly took the spiritual fruit and put it away in a jade box, and thanked him again.
He didn't stay in Zhu Zizhen's cave for too long, and quickly left and went to the underground magma sea cave for retreat.
The cave in the underground magma sea has been occupied by Zhu Zizhen for many years, and the situation there is now very different from when Zhou Yang first came here.
Now the ruins above have been cleared away, and a magnificent palace has been built on the spot.
What made Zhou Yang speechless was that the building materials used in this palace were all fifth-level spiritual jade [Thousand-Year Flame Jade].
He originally thought that he was very rich, but now when compared with Noble Shinichi, it seems that his net worth is not as strong as he thought.
And this palace, which was completely built using [Millennium Flame Jade], has raised the already pure and rich fire-attribute aura in the cave to a small level again.
After Zhou Yang practiced some practice there, he was reluctant to leave.
As far as the effect on his cultivation is concerned, only the [Poll of Yang Fire] in the far north ice field can surely defeat this place. Even the [Donglai Immortal Island], where the Immortal Cave is located, is quite inferior.
As a result, Zhou Yang almost forgot about time and everything, and soon he wholeheartedly retreated into seclusion in the underground magma sea.
A monk in the Nascent Soul stage can retreat for several decades at a time, or for a hundred years at a long time.
Zhou Yang's retreat this time also created a record since his practice, having been in retreat for a full 145 years!
And if something hadn't suddenly changed to wake him up, he might have continued to remain in seclusion.
"Has eight hundred years passed so quickly?"
In the palace, Zhou Yang woke up from his retreat and looked at the shaking [Kunxu Order] in his hand, his eyes in a trance.
Scenes of memories of his experiences in the [Kunxu Realm] eight hundred years ago quickly emerged in his mind.
Jiang Fengxian, Poisonous Dragon, Wood Mandrill, Lu Xuanji, the mysterious man in black... and Situ Xuanyue, or Qin Yue'er, a disciple of the Great Light Immortal Palace who was left in the [Kunxu Realm].
In just half an hour, Zhou Yang recalled all the past events of eight hundred years ago. Then he looked at the vibrating [Kunxu Order] in his hand, smiled slightly, and input his own magic power to activate it.
Just like what he had experienced eight hundred years ago, after being injected with his mana, the token instantly released a strange silver aura that enveloped him, and then his figure disappeared out of thin air.
in the world.
Even with Zhou Yang's current level of cultivation at the sixth level of Nascent Soul, he was unable to stay awake during the teleportation process.
When he regained consciousness, he once again saw the dark and deep void, as well as the disc-shaped world emitting colorful auras in the void.
Compared with the last time he entered here, thanks to his improvement in cultivation this time, when Zhou Yang looked at the "Linghuan Realm" from the "Kunxu Realm" again, he finally saw something different.
In his eyes at this time, the colorful spiritual light emitting from the surface of the disc-shaped world was actually formed by the friction between some kind of force in the void and the world barrier guarding the "Ling Huan World", rather than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he thought at the time.
overflow.
As for what the power in the void is called, he doesn't know. He has never seen relevant records in any classics before.
After staring at the colorful disk-shaped object for a while, he found that there was nothing more to gain, so Zhou Yang withdrew his gaze and began to look at the place where he was.
The place he is currently on is an island, and it seems that it is in the waters where the [Xuantian Peak] is located. He remembers that there are many such islands in that stretch of water.
But with his current cultivation strength, the treasures on [Xuantian Peak] are obviously difficult for him to see, and there is no need to go there.
As for other places where he may gain something, don't forget that [Kunxu Realm] will last for three years after it is opened, which is still a long time for him.
So after thinking about it for a while, he made a decision.
"Eight hundred years have passed, and I still don't know if Qin Yue'er has really given birth to a baby. We should go to the [Holy Infant Valley] first to have a look!"
