It is true that most of the monks in the demonic path are human beings, but most of them are also human beings who have lost their minds.
Among countless demonic cultivators, the number of low-level demonic cultivators who cannot control their minds is the largest. In the eyes of righteous monks, people in the demonic path are almost not human beings.
"In the past, the Holy Dragon Empire joined forces with the masters of Zixia Hai to push the demonic army into the Black Cloud Ocean. In fact, the righteous masters represented by the Holy Dragon Empire at that time were enough to kill all the demonic masters at that time, but they did not
What we did was just to drive the demonic monks into the Black Cloud Ocean. Firstly, we didn’t want our side to suffer too much loss, and secondly, we wanted to one day work side by side with the demonic masters to resist the invasion of other races." The proprietress explained patiently.
Xing Nan and Princess Yunshang were a little shocked.
"Right now, the demonic army is attacking in a big way and has dispatched many masters. If the Holy Dragon Empire fights head-on, it will only hurt both sides. In the end, our human race will be weak, which may lead to other races taking advantage of it.
"The landlady smiled bitterly and said, "What's more, the great demon who just appeared in the devil's way is really too powerful. He alone can severely damage the vitality of our Holy Dragon Empire."
"No wonder the demon army has invaded the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire and even occupied a large area of land in the west of the Holy Dragon, but the Holy Dragon Empire remains indifferent." Xing Nan nodded.
"Haha, originally the Demonic Way existed in this vast continent. Now they can be considered as coming back, not as an invasion." The landlady shook her head and smiled, "However, the original Demonic Way was scattered throughout the Jianwu Continent.
Their sects and monks, like the righteous sects and monks, walk and practice on the Sword Martial Continent. Although the good and the devil often fight, everyone is still on this land."
"The masters of casual cultivators in the Holy Dragon Empire and Zixia Sea can't just let the demonic army continue to wreak havoc, right?" Princess Yunshang asked.
"Of course not, but the Demonic Dao must not dare to be too presumptuous. They are also afraid that the Holy Dragon Empire and Zixia Hai will be completely angered, because that will not do them much good. Once the two sides fight without any scruples, they will
Even if there is a great demon who is invincible in the world, he will definitely suffer heavy losses."
The landlady continued: "The demonic army will gather together and wait and see for a while. When they are sure that the Holy Dragon Empire and Zixiahai will not expel them anymore, they will gradually spread out and penetrate into Jianwu as before.
All over the continent, share the world with the righteous monks."
Both Xing Nan and Princess Yunshang fell into silence. The general trend of the world could only make them a little curious but not too concerned. After all, with their current level of cultivation, they could not influence the general trend of the world.
…
"The fire pool is here!"
After walking for nearly an hour, the landlady suddenly pointed to a small valley not far away.
The valley was not big, and was surrounded by rolling hills. From a distance, bursts of fire could be seen emanating from the valley.
Gradually approaching.
The valley is surrounded by hills on all sides, with only a small rift leading into it.
The rift valley is about one foot wide and more than twenty feet deep. Standing at the entrance of the rift valley, you can see a sea of fire in the valley.
Waves of hot breath surged outward through the rift valley.
"Let's go in together!"
The landlady led the way, along the rift valley, and slowly entered the valley.
The entire valley is occupied by fire, this is the fire pool.
Just as she was about to come into contact with the blazing flames, the proprietress released a wave of momentum, blocking all the surrounding flames within a foot.
Continue to move deeper into the fire pool.
Rolling flames rolled and roared all around.
The ground of the fire pool is scorched earth, very hard, and naturally it is also hot.
The aura of the landlady blocked the scorching flames. Under this aura, neither Xing Nan nor Princess Yun Shang could feel the slightest bit of fiery aura.
After another tea break, the three of them stopped in front of a big pit.
This large pit is an irregular circle with a diameter of about a hundred feet. The rolling flames in the valley gush out from here.
"Follow me down."
The lady boss swayed and jumped into the fire pit.
Pulled by her momentum, Xing Nan and Princess Yunshang also involuntarily fell into the pit.
After just two breaths, the proprietress suddenly stopped falling and stopped in front of a stone wall that was burned red.
The landlady's fingers quickly moved and she drove a set of seals into the stone wall, and the stone wall slowly cracked.
Gradually, a rather large secret room was revealed.
When the crack in the stone wall was five feet wide, the proprietress took Xing Nan and Princess Yun Shang into the secret room.
The layout in the secret room is very simple, with almost no decoration except for a stone table with a cold light.
"You can practice here from now on. What comes out from under the big pit is earth fire, but its power is not very strong. With your current cultivation level, you can persist here for a long time without hindering your practice." The boss's wife said to Yun.
Princess Chang explained, "Don't go deeper into the fire pit. The power of the earth fire below is not something you can bear. From now on, every time your cultivation level advances, you can go down one level, and the same goes for the bottom level."
The landlady took out a jade slip and gave it to Princess Yunshang, saying: "This jade slip contains a detailed introduction to the fire pool, as well as the secrets to open each floor. Please read it carefully and remember the taboos pointed out in it.
Don’t act recklessly or arbitrarily.”
"Yes." Princess Yunshang nodded obediently.
"I have informed the vice-president of the Kendo Department that you don't have to attend classes from now on. As for the practice of kendo, I have some experience from the kendo masters in the academy. You can also study and practice here in the future."
The landlady took out another jade slip and gave it to Princess Yunshang.
"Junior..." Princess Yunshang looked like she wanted to thank you.
"You're welcome. Since you have said that you will always be from Holy Dragon Academy, Holy Dragon Academy cannot be stingy with you." The landlady supported Princess Yunshang and said in a calm tone.
"Do you two have anything else to say?" the landlady asked.
"She can come out of seclusion once in a year, right?" Xing Nan asked with concern.
"Yes." The landlady nodded.
"Then there's nothing to say. One year is not that long." Xing Nan said easily.
"Then just go with me."
The boss lady's aura enveloped Xing Nan, and she floated towards the fire pit outside the secret room.
Princess Yunshang looked at Xing Nan with tenderness and reluctance.
"You should also practice well and don't think about me!"
Hearing Princess Yunshang's voice, Xing Nan just smiled foolishly.
The stone wall was closed again by the proprietress's spell, and then she took Xing Nan and continued to fall deeper into the fire pit.
"Is the person who wants to see me down there?" Xing Nan asked.
"Yes." The landlady nodded and explained, "He is an old man. Don't neglect him. Be respectful after meeting and don't make mistakes."
"Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person." Xing Nan replied.
…
It kept falling and was surrounded by hot flames.
What surprised Xing Nan was that after falling thousands of feet, even the proprietress with unfathomable strength seemed to be struggling.
At this moment, the landlady had already released the protective light shield, and Xing Nan felt that his whole body was extremely hot and he was sweating profusely. There were even sweat beads oozing out from the landlady's smooth forehead.
What shocked Xing Nan even more was that the space around him and the landlady was constantly fluctuating violently under the scorching flames.
The surrounding flames had turned into a vast white color.
White flames! This was the first time Xing Nan saw it.
After falling for more than ten feet, the proprietress finally stopped because the fire pit had reached the bottom.
Xing Nan carefully scanned the circle and saw an old man wearing a gray cloth robe, who was sitting on a milky white boulder.
What surprised Xing Nan was that the white flames at the bottom of the fire pit actually came from the white boulder where the old man sat.
Moreover, under such scorching flames and such turbulent spatial fluctuations, the old man was able to sit upright, which showed that his cultivation was far above that of the landlady.
Xing Nan could have guessed a long time ago that the proprietress was an emperor-level master. After all, the emperor-level shopkeepers obeyed her... So, what level of cultivation should this old man have?
"Master, we are here."
The landlady bowed to the old man and saluted. She could call the old mother of the country a sister, so she was extremely respectful when she saw the old man.
"Master? It turns out that this old man is the boss's master!" Xing Nan was secretly shocked.
The old man gradually turned around, revealing an old face.
It is said that the old man's cultivation must be amazing. Even if he shows his old age, he must have a ruddy complexion and a childish look. But when Xing Nan looked over, he found that the old man's face was covered with wrinkles, like a field plowed by cattle, and his complexion was
He looked extremely pale, and his lips were covered with white frost.
What surprised Xing Nan the most was that when the old man opened his eyes, his eyes were still cloudy and full of exhaustion.
This old man gave Xing Nan the feeling that he was dying and would soon die.
The old man looked at Xing Nan and said, "Yes, although he has become possessed by a demon, his cultivation method is strange and exquisite. His soul has already been shaped at a young age, and he will surely become a great person sooner or later."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Xing Nan said respectfully.
"Can you tell me which master is guiding you in your cultivation?" the old man asked casually.
Strangely, as the old man spoke, his eyes gradually became clearer, and his complexion gradually improved.
"This..." Xing Nan didn't know how to respond.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. Can you tell me how you got the bracelet on your wrist?" the old man continued.
"Uh..." Xing Nan was at a loss for words again. The old man asked about his biggest secret.
"Haha, the little guy is very cautious."
The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were completely gone at this moment. He said to the boss's wife: "The origin is unknown and the fate is unpredictable. It is not suitable to be entrusted with important tasks lightly."
"Yes." The landlady bowed and responded.
"Isn't there another genius?" the old man asked.
"Back to Master, that prodigy has not yet reached the master level." The boss's wife replied.
"Not yet at the master level? How old are you now?" the old man asked curiously.
"I'm in my twenties," the landlady said.
"You are in your twenties and have not yet reached the master level, so you are indeed a genius." The old man said with a smile.
"When he reaches the master level, bring him to see the master. The master will know his peculiarity at a glance." The landlady said with an unchanged expression.
