The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, in a hidden cave.
"He is over four hundred years old."
Lu Changan opened his deep eyes and had just completed a hexagram.
"It seems that Dayuan can't stay too long. Otherwise, sooner or later he will attract the attention of the great monk Yuanying."
As a fourth-level divination master, Lu Changan could get a glimpse of the general situation outside even if he didn't inquire about it personally.
There are too many secrets about him, and there is a certain cause and effect. Once his fame becomes too great, it is definitely not a good thing.
The civilization of cultivating immortals in Dayuan is prosperous, the high-level monks have more vision, and some top forces have many fourth-level divination masters.
Without absolute strength, the greater his fame, the more insecure Lu Changan becomes.
He made up his mind to speed up the process of returning to Daqing after completing the demon-sealing agreement to assist Jing Wufeng.
…
Lu Changan got up and came outside the cave.
Jing Wufeng was wearing a green silk shirt, lined with dark gold simple inner armor, and his figure was burlier than before.
The ancient armor obtained from Zhenjun Bawu was repaired by Jing Wufeng and transformed into an inner armor form.
This ancient armor was refined by different techniques on Jing Wufeng, and its color and shape were more righteous.
Lu Changan secretly thought that with this inner armor containing ancient treasure material, Jing Wufeng could make up for the "shortcomings" in defense.
Jing Wufeng's spiritual consciousness and mana are beyond the same level, and his attack damage and mobility are very strong.
Perhaps because he has mastered top-notch divine soul skills or is a fourth-level formation mage, his spiritual consciousness is almost as good as that of the mid-stage Nascent Soul.
Lu Changan once simulated an imaginary enemy and believed that Jing Wufeng's defense was not outstanding (still stronger than that of ordinary Yuan Ying in the early stage), but ordinary monks could not touch him.
Of course, Lu Changan doesn't mind that Jing Wufeng's strength has improved and he is more confident in sealing the demon.
"Xiang Zhenjun, when we go to the Endless Demonic Abyss this time, our mission is just to repair the seal and block the leakage channels of the demonic energy at key points. During this period, we may encounter some monsters."
"Now, the demon turmoil is about to end. As long as there are no accidents, the risk of this operation will not be higher than the battle against the Seven True Lords."
Jing Wufeng's calm tone made Lu Changan feel at ease.
"I hope so."
Lu Changan has tried to deduce the risks of this operation over the past year.
However, the core of the forbidden land in the Central Region is said to suppress the immortal trolls, involving the secrets of the ancient war. The secrets are obscure and like chaos.
The difficulty of divination is no less than calculating a divine king.
Fortunately, there was no whim or sudden crisis leading to the sudden disaster.
The calculated hexagram risks were erratic, with ups and downs. This made Lu Changan understand that it was best to play it safe and steady rather than seeking death and making trouble.
…
Heading to the center of the ancient forbidden land, Jing Wufeng and Lu Changan hurried carefully to avoid some dangerous places, including groups where a large number of monsters gathered.
The closer you get to the center of the forbidden area, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, and the evil spirit becomes stronger.
Once entangled by powerful monsters and surrounded by a large number of monsters, it is difficult to replenish mana. Nascent Soul monks may also suffer from hatred and die without a burial place.
The most dangerous ones are some dangerous places that may directly threaten or trap the True Lord Nascent Soul to death.
For example, certain impermanent winds can cause the Nascent Soul to sink in consciousness, lose itself, or cause the body to age instantly and shorten its lifespan.
There are also space cracks scattered all over the place.
Some spatial cracks are clearly visible, while others are hidden in the void, hidden in the dark, and difficult to detect.
Fortunately, Jing Wufeng possesses the Wu Kong Dao Body, and his skills are mainly based on space and wind elements, and he is extremely sensitive to space fluctuations. Those hidden space cracks cannot escape his detection.
In a few days, the two men penetrated less than 10,000 miles.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, follow closely."
Bypassing an unstable space crack, Jing Wufeng solemnly said:
"The route chosen by Jing has some space cracks nearby, but it can avoid other risks, especially some powerful and weird monsters."
For this mission, Jing Wufeng searched for ancient books and information on the forbidden areas in the Central Region decades in advance.
Moreover, he briefly explored the route in advance and had a relatively reliable route.
"Um."
Lu Changan tried his best to take the route that Jing Wufeng took.
He has allowed the fourth life to come, and his soul's senses are comparable to the peak of the middle Nascent Soul.
At this moment, a large space crack was sensed nearby. It was pitch black and unpredictable, emitting an unstable aura of destruction, and was also accompanied by an exotic aura.
"I wonder where this space crack leads to?"
Lu Changan heard from Jing Wufeng that many of the medium and large space cracks lead to somewhere in the human world.
The other end may be a dangerous and dangerous place; it may be a state boundary in Tianheng Continent; it may also be a lost unknown space or a void wasteland.
The journey is boring, so be alert at all times.
While resting, Lu Changan asked Jing Wufeng about the secrets of the forbidden area in the Central Territory, the Endless Demonic Abyss.
The forbidden land in the middle of the Great Abyss has a history that dates back to the ancient wars.
At that time, in the human world where Tianyan Continent was located, the physical resources were far superior to those in recent times, and one could cultivate to a higher limit.
"At a certain time, the 'Demon Peak Realm' under the control of the ancient demons was close to the Tianheng Human Realm. Many passages between the two realms were opened and they frequently invaded the Tianheng Continent."
"So, the Endless Demonic Abyss we are going to is a two-dimensional space passage left by the ancient war?"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed, and his suspicion was confirmed.
"That's right! There are more than one or two such two-realm passages in Tianheng Continent, and there are also several in the outer sea."
When Jing Wufeng stated, his eyes passed over the ancient battlefield where the forbidden area was located, with a look of admiration.
Those majestic terrains and fragmented mountains and rivers are all witnesses of ancient wars.
Including nearby deep valleys and ravines that are hundreds of miles long, and dangerous space cracks.
"In that ancient heyday, it was said that there was no shortage of spiritual treasures for three tribulations or above. Even the legendary Xiao Xuantian treasure had made a shocking appearance. Unlike today's human world, where resources are so poor, a breakthrough in becoming a god would be a miracle of heaven and earth.
…”
Jing Wufeng sighed with admiration and yearning in his heart.
Hearing Xiao Xuantian, Lu Changxin's expression shrank slightly and remained calm.
"It is recorded in the ancient books of Dayuan that the immortal ancient troll was sealed in the center of the forbidden land. Is this true?"
Lu Changan responded with a few words and then changed the subject.
"When we get to the place, Fellow Daoist Xiang will be able to get a glimpse of the clues."
Jing Wufeng smiled and gave up.
…
One month later.
Jing Wufeng and Lu Changan traveled a long way through the ancient forbidden land.
Even if they try to avoid many risks, the two of them will inevitably encounter some difficult monsters.
There were two or three level four monsters that were seriously injured and defeated.
Because they were in a dangerous and dangerous place, Lu Changan and his two men had reservations about pursuing and capturing the monsters.
Even when Lu Changan detected the remains of a cave left by ancient cultivators in a dangerous place, he did not make any extraneous explorations.
Because the risks in the hexagrams are erratic, Lu Changan takes the lead and does not act greedily.
On this day, after climbing over a steep peak, Lu Changan finally got a glimpse of the legendary endless demonic abyss.
Far away, one can see a black pillar of demonic energy, majestic and shocking, entangled by five-color lightning clouds, rushing straight into the majestic demonic clouds in the sky, and occasionally producing black thunder of destruction.
Lu Changan's head trembled and he felt extremely depressed.
The demonic light beam shot straight into the sky, erupting and accumulating majestic demonic clouds. The boundless and overwhelming demonic power made the Nascent Soul Lord, who was standing at the top of the world of immortality, feel insignificant.
The source of the demonic light beam is a bottomless abyss with a diameter of hundreds of miles below, like an irregular ancient well.
Ancient silver-gray formation patterns are carved on the outer edge and inner wall of the endless abyss, and there are bronze formation bases every other mile, releasing five-color electric chains.
Many five-color electric chains are connected to each other to form an inverted bowl-shaped sealing mask. As the light flows, a five-color electric glow appears.
The sealing mask is not airtight, but is mesh-shaped. Five-color arcs pass through the gaps from time to time, allowing only a small amount of demonic energy to leak out.
There are more mesh holes, so the amount of leaked magic energy accumulates, which is quite considerable.
What's even more frightening is that a large hole was torn in the center of the sealing mask, along with several smaller holes around it.
These large and small holes leaked out massive amounts of demonic energy, and deep and frightening roars from the abyss could be heard faintly from within.
"Fellow Daoist Jing, why is the sealing formation set up by the ancient power in a mesh shape, leaving so many gaps. It allows evil spirits and monsters to take advantage of it and disrupt the human world."
Lu Changan had a vague guess and asked.
"The first is the cost of materials and the supply of spiritual energy. The second is to block it rather than open it up, seal the big ones instead of the small ones, so as to reduce the load of the sealing formation over the years."
Jing Wufeng gave insights from ancient books and the perspective of a fourth-level formation mage.
"Should we seal the big ones or the small ones? No wonder the demonic energy in the central region accumulates and monsters proliferate. Every cycle, the demons will be in turmoil."
Lu Changan secretly thought that even ancient monks would have to pay attention to the economic costs of constructing a seal for such a grand project.
…
During the flight to the Demon Abyss, the two encountered trouble.
Countless magic bats and magic moths came out of the deep mountain caves around the endless abyss and pounced on Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng.
Lu Changan had encountered this kind of magic bats and magic moths before, but he had never encountered such a huge number, tens of thousands of them, covering the sky and the sun with a black mass.
Most of these elf bats are below the third level, with a lower proportion of high-level ones. No fourth-level ones have appeared yet.
Even so, it gave the two Nascent Soul Lords a headache and never tired of it.
Because there is no way to kill them all.
In the ancient forbidden land with strong demonic aura, monks' mana recovery is slow and they mainly rely on spiritual stone elixirs.
The magic bats all over the sky let out sonic screams, and the terrifying lethality gathered together was enough to make the Danjie monks dizzy and vomit blood.
Those relatively petite magic moths emit powdery smoke, which contains highly poisonous substances and penetrates everywhere.
Lu Changan activated his magic shield and cast fire spells, burning large areas of the incoming magic bats and moths into ashes.
Based on previous experience, these densely packed mephit moths are more afraid of fire spells.
Neither of them practices fire-based exercises, but normal monks are born with all five elements of spiritual roots, and they just choose the best kind of spiritual roots to practice the exercises.
Through mana transfer and conversion, it is theoretically possible to cast spells from other systems, but the power and efficiency will be lower.
Since wood generates fire, Lu Changan's Wood Spirit Root Wood System Skill can cast fire spells more smoothly.
"Strange! Magic bats and magic moths should belong to different demonized species. Why can these two monsters join forces to deal with outsiders?"
Lu Changan frowned and thought, the evergreen mana in his body had a long pulse, and he continuously killed two kinds of flying monsters.
The sound waves of the magic bats were constantly interfering, and the dark sky was covered by the evil bats and demonic energy. Lu Changan's consciousness could not find the source for a while.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, these monsters are inexhaustible. We can only reach the Demonic Abyss under their interference. At the critical moment, use powerful magic weapons to clear the area and seize the time to repair the seal."
Jing Wufeng was surrounded by a layer of translucent space ripples and a half-robe, and while he was making secrets to cast fire spells, he suggested.
"That's all we can do. We'll act accordingly."
Lu Changan nodded, unable to think of a better way.
The two of them spent a lot of mana and were exhausted mentally, and finally reached the edge of the endless demonic abyss.
Due to the existence of the Demon Abyss Seal Formation, the two of them did not have to face the magic bats and moths flying from all directions, so the pressure was reduced.
As soon as those flying monsters approached the sealing light shield covering the abyss, they were struck by the flashing five-color arc and turned into black smoke.
The two of them stood next to the Demonic Abyss, taking out high-grade spiritual stones and spiritual elixirs, and quickly replenished their mana.
Lu Changan floated in mid-air, looking at the situation under the sealed demonic abyss.
His pupils were condensed, his mind was shaken, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
In the depths of the Demonic Abyss, in the forbidden area shrouded in magical mist, eight golden chains with dragon patterns as thick as buckets crisscrossed each other, and golden light formations flashed, locking a huge and majestic "giant head" halfway up the well of the abyss.
, the troll body under the magic mist cannot be seen clearly.
The giant head was comparable to a mountain, and its empty and indifferent eyes looked at Lu Changan.
boom!
Lu Changan's Nascent Soul trembled, as if struck by lightning, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at him.
Fortunately, the troll's head seemed to be unconscious, and its neck area was tightly strangled by eight thick dragon-patterned gold chains crisscrossing each other, also blocking the troll's torso below.
Lu Changan looked at the eight gold chains with dragon patterns. On the surface of the chain, which was as thick as a bucket, in addition to the dense formation texture, lifelike golden dragon scales appeared on the surface, exuding the charm of heaven and earth, as if there were really eight golden dragons circling and intertwined.
Lu Changan felt that the fake spiritual treasure [Sky-Splitting Ax] used by Jing Wufeng was dwarfed by those eight golden dragon chains, and was more than one or two grades behind.
"Tongtian Lingbao, Eight Dragon Lock."
Jing Wufeng admired it with the eyes of an archeologist and murmured.
Tongtian Lingbao?
Lu Changan has only heard of Lingbao. The real Lingbao has disappeared in the Tianheng human world.
…
Jing Wufeng withdrew his gaze and observed the large and small holes in the sealing light screen.
The largest hole among them has a serious leakage of demonic energy, and powerful monsters can occasionally emerge from it.
At this moment, a six-foot-tall black-robed ancient demon with two heads and four arms was trying to get out of the hole in the five-color electric glow net.
Buzz!
The flickering residual lightning hit the two-headed and four-armed ancient demon, and the demonic energy collapsed, producing a large amount of black smoke, causing it to roll down.
Only a broken black robe was left floating there.
Even if the two-headed, four-armed ancient demon is scarred and its aura is weakened, it can still make Lu Changan feel terrible pressure across the sealing formation.
"Friend Xiang, don't worry. Monsters of late fourth level and above cannot break through the sealing formation yet."
Jing Wufeng secretly broke into a cold sweat and pretended to be relaxed.
After all, it was his first time to repair the demon-sealing formation, and many of his opinions came from theories.
At this time, the nearby magic bats and magic moths gathered in large numbers, engulfing the tops of their heads and their left and right sides.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, prepare to clean up the surrounding monsters to buy time to repair the seal."
Jing Wufeng looked solemn.
When he later repaired the seal formation, he had to concentrate most of his energy on passively defending against attacks from flying monsters.
"Fellow Daoist Jing, Xiang has a top-grade fire magic weapon in his hand, which is suitable for clearing the area. If our two magic powers join forces, we should be able to exert great power."
Lu Changan proposed to sacrifice a purple gourd magic weapon, which was obtained from Master Lihuo's clan-suppressing magic weapon.
"Okay, let's clean up the surrounding monsters first, then set up the phantom sky formation, and try to delay it for as long as possible."
Jing Wufeng's mana was almost restored, and he raised his hand to inject mana into the [Lihuo Gourd] in front of him to help Lu Changan unleash the power of the magic weapon.
Boom!
The two Nascent Soul Sovereigns poured their magic power together, and the purple gourd expanded rapidly, as if it turned into a huge furnace, erupting purple fire clouds and seas of fire, instantly burning tens of thousands of monsters.
The fan-shaped area where the two people were located was covered by purple fire clouds and seas of fire, and they were isolated for three miles in diameter.
The Mephit Moth a little further away felt the terrifying purple flames from Lihuo. It shivered instinctively, stiffened briefly, and its offensive slowed down.
Taking advantage of this time, Jing Wufeng came to the mid-air near the sealing hole and deployed a fourth-level illusionary sky formation.
Due to the surrounding demonic energy and the lack of foundation spiritual veins, the power of the spiritual stone formation alone was not enough, so Lu Changan sacrificed a puppet formation of sixteen puppets as an auxiliary formation base.
Lu Changan alone controls the best magic weapon [Lihuo Gourd] to deal with the huge amount of magic bats and moths. The magic power consumption is huge and cannot last for long.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, enter the formation."
In just a moment, Jing Wufeng set up the illusion formation, opened a portal, and let Lu Changan come in together.
Lu Changan put away the [Fire Gourd], and the fire clouds and seas outside could still maintain their power for a while.
The sea of fire is isolated from the fourth-order formation, and the amount of magic bats and moths that day cannot be killed in a short time.
…
Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief and sat cross-legged in the Huan Kong Formation to recover.
Jing Wufeng concentrated his energy and prepared to repair the sealing formation.
He looked thoughtful, weighed the repair options, and took out a silver storage bag containing the materials provided by the mission.
Lu Changan was secretly surprised: "The sealing formation is at least a fifth-level high-grade starting point. Even though Jing Wufeng, as a fourth-level formation master, is proficient in the art of space, without specialized research, it may be unrealistic to repair it in a short time."
Lu Changan speculated that the sect master behind Jing Wufeng provided the blueprint information for the sealing formation.
For example, Tinghai Pavilion's space teleportation array, Zhenjun Chahai, who is also a fourth-level array mage, painstakingly studied it for several years before he came up with a rough plan to repair it.
And this sealing formation is of a higher grade than Tinghai Pavilion's space teleportation formation.
Time passes slowly.
Jing Wufeng used a small hole to test, took out the materials, sacrificed the light silver natal true fire, and smelted it into the sealing formation.
The first attempt was not very successful.
A new five-color arc extended from that small hole, but it was not connected together in the end.
Only half repaired.
After this repair, Jing Wufeng looked happy and found the trick.
When he tested it for the second time, the illusionary formation trembled and faced a fierce attack.
Although the Illusionary Sky Formation is strong, there are endless numbers of magic bats and magic moths in the outside world, occupying the geographical advantage of magic energy.
After strangling tens of thousands of monsters, the phantom formation was torn open, and the outside world continued to break into the magic bats and moths.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xiang, protector. In about two hours, Jing will be able to repair the sealing formation."
Jing Wufeng concentrated on repairing it and never looked back.
"Um."
Lu Changan's magic power had not yet been restored to perfection, and when he saw that the number of magic bats and magic moths coming in was not too large, he patted the spiritual pet bag and summoned Lord Earth Rock.
"Help me protect the law and kill the monsters."
"Yes, Master."
Lord Diyan transformed into the form of a giant rat king, blocked the crack in the illusionary sky formation, and killed several monsters with one claw.
He spit out another mouthful of yellow sand demonic wind, strangling the magic bats and moths outside.
Not to mention, without using [Lihuo Gourd], Diyanjun's efficiency in killing monsters is no less than that of Lu Changan.
But less than half an hour later, the crack in the illusionary sky formation widened, and more magic bats and magic moths came in.
What's even worse is that a second crack has begun to appear.
Lu Changan thought for a while, and in order to deal with the unknown risk, he sent out a fourth-level puppet to block the second gap.
Even if there are remaining monsters coming in, there are still phantom formations and puppet formations strangling them.
At this time, Jing Wufeng was already repairing the largest hole in the sealing formation.
As long as he repairs this area, he can pass the first round of trials.
Jing Wufeng had sweat on his forehead and tried his best to repair it.
…
boom!
After persisting for an hour, the illusionary formation finally collapsed, and the magic bats and moths from the outside rushed in like a black tide.
Lu Changan discovered that the flying monsters in the outside world were not as dense as before, and were slightly looser. It seemed that the monsters were not truly endless.
However, the mephit moths that were culled were of higher quality and were all elites, so the danger increased instead of decreasing.
The puppet army formation protects Jing Wufeng at the center.
Lu Changan, the fourth-level puppet, and Diyan Lord form a triangle on the outside, killing a steady stream of flying monsters.
at the same time.
Behind a large number of bat demon moths, in an area shrouded in demonic mist, floated a female demon with a moon-blue skin texture and thin wings on her back.
"The person who repaired the seal formation should be a descendant of the Tianyi Sect. The human monk who assisted has a fourth-level true puppet and a fourth-level demon king. Even if I take action myself, I am not sure."
This female demon has dark blue eyes, and a flickering crescent mark faintly appears between her eyebrows, like the light of the frosty moon.
She held a scepter inlaid with a blue and black moon-shaped gem in her hand and prayed devoutly:
"Lord Holy Lord, I request your response. Otherwise, this long-prepared plan may fall short."
The moon demon priest's staff trembled, and the blue-black moon-shaped gem inlaid on it shone with a ray of divine thought that solidified the void.
…
Hmm~
At the end of the endless demonic abyss, the huge head was locked by the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure [Eight Dragon Locks]. One of its indifferent eyes lit up with the mark of a dark blue crescent moon.
The troll's eyes were still indifferent, but for the first time there was a hint of emotion, locking on Jing Wufeng and Lu Changan above the Demon Abyss seal.
"what happened!"
Lu Changan's heart was frightened, and Jing Wufeng also stopped to repair the formation, feeling a terrifying aura.
Immediately, I heard the instinctive roar of the dead troll's head, and let out a low "uh".
The moment the silence came.
Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng's souls were shaken, and their orifices were bleeding.
On the contrary, Diyanjun's fourth-level puppet was only slightly affected.
Boom!
Throughout the abyss, demonic energy erupted, and the sealing formation's auras swarmed around, as if the demonic tide was starting again.
Bang!
The large hole in the center of the sealing formation was penetrated by a burst of demonic energy tide, which was offset and annihilated by the five-color lightning glow growing nearby.
Fortunately, this explosion of demonic energy lasted only a moment and did not last.
During a brief incident.
There was also something abnormal inside the big sealed hole.
