Of course, Shen Lang still has a long way to go if he wants to break through the middle stage of Nirvana.
When you reach the level of Nirvana, it is very slow to improve your cultivation level. Ordinary monks in the early stage of Nirvana may not be able to break through the level after practicing for a hundred years.
Moreover, compared to monks in the foundation-building stage, it is more difficult for monks in the nirvana stage to improve their realm. After all, the spiritual roots of those who practice martial arts and enter Taoism are acquired and cannot be compared with the innate spiritual roots.
But monks in the Nirvana stage also have a huge advantage, that is, their lifespan is longer, with a lifespan of up to four hundred years. However, the lifespan of monks in the Foundation Stage is only about 250 years.
Taken together, the pros and cons of both sides are fairly balanced.
Shen Lang's Blood Spirit Immortal Body has extremely high qualifications. His cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary Nirvana monks, but it will take at least several years to break through to the middle stage of Nirvana.
However, Shen Lang is quite satisfied with his current combat power. At least his combat power is higher than that of ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks.
Xiao Ling'er broke through the eighth level of Qi refining a few days ago, and Shen Lang gave her a water magic weapon for self-defense.
The war is coming, and Shen Lang also hopes that the little girl will be safe and sound.
A few days ago, spies from the seven major sects found out some information.
Several medium-sized sects that fled from the Yuanhe Sea Area were all attached to the demonic forces.
This "magic" force is worth mentioning.
There are tens of thousands of islands in the Yuanhe sea area, where cultivation is prevalent. There are countless large and small sects, and their strength is quite powerful. It is a true holy land of cultivation, not comparable to the wild wilderness.
There are two major forces in Yuanhe Sea Area, which are divided into "righteous way" and "devil way". Almost all sects in the sea area belong to one side of the two major forces.
The escaped Xuesha Sect and Jumo Manor are medium-sized sects belonging to the demonic forces in Yuanhe Sea Area.
The demon sects that escaped from the Yuanhe sea area this time were not just the Xuesha Sect and Jumozhuang, but there seemed to be four or five.
A few days later, those demonic sects finally made some noise.
Among the six sects, the first one to be attacked was not the Chongxiao Palace, but the Five Poison Gate closest to the Beast God Palace.
Maybe those demonic sects thought they would annex the entire wilderness sooner or later, so they simply didn't care which one to deal with first.
The Spiritual Vein Mine affiliated to the Five Poison Sect was attacked by a large number of foreign monks. In addition to the three sects of the Beast God Palace, the Blood Demon Sect, and the Jumo Village, there were also two more monks from the Demonic Sect, equivalent to five sects.
Join forces to besiege the Five Poison Gates.
Although the Five Poison Sect was well prepared, the opponent was too powerful and was caught off guard. Tens of thousands of disciples were killed or injured, and even the mountain-protecting formation was broken.
There was really no other way, so the leader of the Five Poison Sect had to temporarily abandon the mountain sect and lead a large number of elders and elite disciples to flee.
The Five Poison Gate Mountain Gate is completely occupied by those demonic sects.
However, the six major sects of the Wilderness had already secretly formed an alliance and agreed to jointly fight against foreign enemies. Upon learning that the Five Poison Sect was in trouble, the remaining five sects immediately dispatched an army of monks.
Before those demonic sects could hold a celebration banquet, an army of monks from the six sects came over to kill them.
This was a wake-up call for those demonic sects. In fact, there was not much difference in power between the two sides, but not all the demonic sects’ monks were dispatched, and half of the monks stayed in the Beast God Palace. This battle suffered a big loss.
The battle took place in the Spiritual Mine of the Five Poison Sect. The scene was extremely brutal, with numerous casualties and even a golden elixir-level monk from the Demonic Sect sect died on the spot.
At the end of the fight, the six sects of monks successfully won, and the Demonic Sect escaped from the Five Poison Sect in disgrace.
Although Wu Du Sect suffered the most serious losses, it managed to regain the mountain gate and spiritual veins.
But the good times did not last long. After the failure of this battle, the Beast God Palace and the several demonic sects became angry and began to attack various sects on a large scale.
The six factions did not sit still and attacked forcefully.
In just two months, the two sides fought nine battles, and tens of thousands of monks were injured or killed!
The fight went back and forth, and the two sides reached a deadlock.
There is not much difference in power between the two sides. Although the overall strength of the Demonic Sect is strong, the number of monks from the six sects is greater.
Seeing that after fighting for so long, no sect was captured, the Demonic Sect became a little impatient. They began to send monks to continuously attack the spiritual veins and mines of various sects, trying to snatch the Five Elements Spiritual Stone and Spiritual Crystal by force.
Shen Lang was appointed to guard the spiritual mine of Chongxiao Palace.
The Spiritual Mine of Chongxiao Palace has been attacked twice. Under the defensive resistance led by Shen Lang, the demonic sects did not gain any benefit, but suffered heavy losses.
This made Patriarch Duanmu think more highly of Shen Lang and directly appointed him as commander.
Shen Lang has four foundation-building stage elders and more than a thousand Qi-refining stage elite disciples under his command to guard the important mines.
The experiences these days have been truly thrilling. All the disciples of Chongxiao Palace have their hearts in their throats. Almost every few days, we can hear the news that disciples and even elders have died in battle.
The pressure on Shen Lang is not great. He only guards the mines and does not participate in the frontline team battles. In fact, it is also because he is the elder of the guest.
Because Xiao Ling'er was an ice spirit and had excellent talents, Patriarch Duanmu was also worried about her death, so he placed her next to Shen Lang.
It was still dark in the early morning, when the monks in the mine were still meditating and resting.
A messenger disciple used the lion's roar technique and shouted loudly: "The disciples of Chongxiao Palace are on alert, the Demonic Sect is attacking and is approaching Lingxiao Mountain!"
Shen Lang's expression changed, and he immediately walked out of the stone room and flew to the front of the mine.
The four Chongxiao Temple elders and a large number of disciples also quickly left the resting place and gathered in front of the mine at the foot of the mountain, all looking a little flustered and uneasy.
"All disciples, listen to my orders and fight the enemy with all your strength!" Shen Lang shouted loudly.
"Yes!" came a neat voice.
Xiao Ling'er gritted her teeth and looked determined.
Not long after, I saw a small spiritual boat flying in the sky to the north of the mine.
Shen Lang released his spiritual consciousness to investigate and found that there were almost thirty people on the spirit boat, all of whom were foundation-building monks!
The young man in blood robes who led him was none other than Kong Tao, the young master of the Blood Demon Sect whom Shen Lang met last time in Cangwu Mountain.
This guy is actually here too? Could it be that he knew that he was guarding the spiritual mine in Chongxiao Palace and came here specifically to seek revenge?
Shen Lang's eyes narrowed. It may be that the experience of several previous defeats made these guys change their strategies.
After all, the Qingshan Giant Ape after his transformation is extremely suitable for team battles, and the Qi Refining Monk can only be cannon fodder in front of him.
This time, the other party came with thirty foundation-building monks. There were no groups of Qi-refining monks, which meant that they were here for you.
The Mine Spirit Vein is a key place in the Chongxiao Palace. Ancestor Duanmu personally deployed a large-scale defense formation called the "Cloud Screen Formation". It is not that easy for these monks to capture it.
"Commander Shen, the opponents are all foundation-building monks. How should we respond to them?" An elder from Chongxiao Palace stepped forward to ask for instructions, his face serious.
"Don't worry! There is a defensive formation in the mine. Let all the Qi Refining disciples use their magic to prevent those guys from breaking the formation. The four of you follow me!"
After saying that, Shen Lang rose into the sky and flew out of the mountain.
The four Chongxiao Hall elders took a breath of cold air, thinking that Shen Lang was too courageous. There were thirty foundation-building monks on the other side!
Although they were frightened, the four elders still bravely followed Shen Lang and flew out of the mountain.
