When Zhang Zhixuan and several other monks from hundreds of sects in the Southern Wilderness rushed to the entrance of Moyun Cave, they found that Guo Songren and other Dazhou monks had already gone ahead and were waiting near Moyun Cave.
The number of monks participating in the Demon Refining War this time was smaller than last time, about two hundred Nascent Souls.
The last battle in Moyun Cave resulted in heavy casualties. In this battle, the remaining Taoists did not plan to fight the demon cultivators, so they did not recruit Nascent Souls on a large scale.
However, the number of ninth-level Nascent Soul monks has increased by a few compared to last time, and the quality is also a bit better than last time.
Many of the great monks who participated in the battle of Moyun Cave this time were acquaintances of Zhang Zhixuan.
For example, Guo Songren, the leader of Huangji Sect, Liang Jingchong, the leader of Yanghuo Palace, Wang Houlin, the leader of Lanjiang Sect, etc.
There were even more direct disciples of Taoist Yu. Wei Xuanyi, He Canghai, and Li Wuhui were all present. In order to set an example, almost all the high-level monks from Kunyuan Mountain came out, and thirty-three Nascent Souls came.
In addition, Qian Danqing, the number one Yuanying person in Nanya Prefecture, Duan Hengtian, the great elder of Wuji Sect, and other great monks who had broken through Yuanshen also came to the vicinity of Moyun Cave with Yuanshen magic weapons.
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan and his entourage, Guo Songren immediately said with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhang has finally arrived. A few years ago, fellow Taoist Liu hit the bottleneck and triggered the primordial vision, which has alarmed the entire Nanya Prefecture cultivation world.
In this demon hunting conference, we will also be led by Daoist Liu Daoyou. Moreover, Mrs. Zhang is also a high-level formation master, so the formation of troops will not bother the two masters, and the final decision will be left to Mrs. Zhang.
"
In this demon refining conference, formation is the core.
Each of the ten major sects in Nanya Prefecture has some inheritance of formations. The mountain-protecting formations of the mountain sect are all very good. Even if the Ziyang Sect has a shallow background, the Lingjing Mountain Mountain-protecting Formation was upgraded to the sixth level mid-level two hundred years ago.
.
Upgrading the mountain-protecting formation is very troublesome. It is easier to rearrange a sixth-level high-grade mountain-protecting formation.
After Qingchan broke through the sixth-level high-level formation mage, he had already started preparing to set up the sixth-level high-level formation in Lingjing Mountain.
I have done some preliminary work in the past few years, and after careful consideration, I used the Four Elephant Demon-Subduing Mirror as the formation eye, the Lingjing Mountain Spirit Vein as the core, refined thirteen formation flags, and arranged the Demon-Subduing Xuan Gang Formation.
However, it was very troublesome to refine thirteen sixth-level formation flags, and Zhang Zhixuan did not want to waste decades as a coolie, so he entrusted this task to Master Jin Yan of Wenxian Tower.
It may take more than a hundred years for the formation to be successfully deployed.
The Ziyang Sect has a relatively shallow background, while other sects have long-standing inheritances. The mountain protection formation is related to the sect's safety and is the core of the sect's construction. It has already been promoted to a very powerful level, and the lowest level is the sixth level of top grade.
Several sects with deep foundations have even cultivated seventh-level spiritual veins and have seventh-level mountain-protecting formations.
The mountain-protecting formation has been upgraded to the seventh level and is already difficult to break. After all, the seventh-level earth vein beads are extremely rare in the entire Yuanyang world. Even if the Yuanshen monks accidentally obtain them, there are no seventh-level formation masters and weapon refiners to cooperate in refining them.
I can't even refine the seventh-level formation-breaking beads.
Even for a super sect like Wuwei Sect, there are only two Yuan Shen Ancestors in this generation, and there is no way to find a seventh-level formation mage to refine this thing.
It is difficult for such a giant sect in this world to refine the seventh-level formation-breaking beads, let alone other sects.
The Yuanyang Realm has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, and there are many Yuanshen wars that have broken out.
Counting from ancient times, there have been only four battles in which the spirit level was used to destroy pearls. From a probability perspective, they are almost insignificant.
What's more, in today's Yuanyang Realm, I'm afraid there are no seventh-level formation-breaking beads left. In the past few thousand years, only Qingyunzi is the only monk who can break through the seventh-level formation.
Although the seventh-level formation is powerful, it is also very difficult to arrange the seventh-level formation. Many Yuanshen monks are not good at arranging formations.
Of the dozen or so sects in Nanya Prefecture that have produced Yuanshen monks, only the Lanjiang sect and the Wuji sect have seven-level formations to protect their sects.
The ancestors of these two families are both powerful formation masters, and their understanding of the Tao is far greater than that of Qingyunzi and Taoist Yu. They also spent a lot of effort and a lot of favors in setting up the mountain gate formation.
After all, entrusting a seventh-level weapon refiner to do it requires paying a high price, and ordinary souls may not be able to do it.
Even though Kunyuan Mountain is now the number one sect in Nanya Prefecture, the mountain-protecting formation is only a sixth-level high-grade one. In this aspect, it is not as deep as the Lanjiang Sect, which is somewhat declining.
Compared to the mountain-protecting formations, the power of the small formations that each sect can produce is much weaker. In the last battle of Moyun Cave, several sets of sixth-level high-grade formations did not work well together and were not very useful.
In order to prepare for this demon-hunting battle, Taoist Yu wrote to Qian Danqing several times to discuss solutions. He mobilized many sixth-level spiritual objects from the ten major sects and entrusted this person to refine three levels of spiritual objects within a month.
Set up a sixth-level high-grade formation and prepare to seal the demon cultivator in the Moyun Cave.
These three sets of sixth-level high-grade formations are inconvenient to move, and their functions are relatively single and inconvenient to move. They can only be turned into a solid defensive shield, and their power is equivalent to that of seventh-level low-grade formations.
The three defensive shields overlap each other, enough to block the entrance to the Demon Cloud Cave.
Since the demon is in the lower realm, there is no use in continuing to enter the Demon Cloud Cave to hunt the Demonic Nascent Soul.
In order to avoid being defeated one by one, Taoist Yu decided not to enter the Demon Cloud Cave for this demon refining conference, but to set up a formation outside to block the demon soul.
After changing the strategy, the task of this battle will be relatively easy.
In addition to more than ten top-level Nascent Souls, there are more than sixty Nascent Soul monks who control a set of formations.
Sixty Yuanying monks join forces, and their magic power exceeds the ninth level of Yuanshen. However, if you want to use all the power, I am afraid it will be difficult for the immortals to succeed.
This relatively large-scale formation consumes very serious energy. In fact, sixty Nascent Souls and hundreds of Golden Cores activate the formation, and the protective shield formed is only equivalent to the defense used by second-level Yuanshen monks.
Supernatural powers.
And because the power is dispersed, once this shield is broken by a powerful force, it will also backfire on the Jindan Nascent Soul that controls the formation.
This kind of formation can only be used in single combat, and can only be beaten without being able to fight back. It is almost useless in battles between monks, and can only be used in sect battles.
However, in an environment like Moyun Cave, this formation can display unexpected capabilities.
Moyun Cave was originally a mustard space opened by a monk. The senior Yuan Shen who opened Moyun Cave was also considered a wizard in the world of immortality. He actually understood the earthly immortal method that had not been passed down in the Yuanyang world without a teacher.
As his cultivation level gradually improved, he actually transformed the Mustard Seed Space into a Paradise of Cave Heaven, allowing his disciples to practice in the space.
When this person became an immortal, he actually planned to ascend with this cave heaven paradise.
It's a pity that every plant and tree in Moyun Cave is obtained by refining the spiritual energy material of Yuanyang Realm, and the spiritual flowers and herbs transplanted inside are also from Yuanyang Realm.
To ascend with such a heavenly paradise, one must owe countless karmic favors to the creatures in this world.
If you do not repay this kindness, your reckless behavior will inevitably be rejected by the will of the world.
Once you are not lucky enough, disaster will naturally come.
As expected, the ancestor of the Yuanshen who was about to ascend had just penetrated the earth's membrane with the Cave Heaven Blessed Land he had made, and the external calamity immediately came.
Just before this person was about to ascend, a powerful demon cultivator arrived near Yuanyang Realm decades in advance.
Because of the obstruction of the earth's fetal membrane, the old demon had no way to enter the interior of Yuanyang Realm. Just when he was helpless, the Yuanshen monk who practiced the earth immortal method took the initiative to break the earth's fetal membrane, suddenly revealing a loophole.
Although the Yuanshen monks who practiced the earthly immortal method were already half-immortals, they were still no match for the demonic cultivators. All the disciples within the Cave Heaven Paradise also died at the hands of the demonic cultivators.
In desperation, he could only adopt a lose-lose strategy, risking his own soul to be destroyed, and sent out a beam of immortal light to kill the demon.
This senior soul and the outsider demon both suffered losses, and in the end no one benefited. The special space of Moyun Cave was also shaped by this battle.
Because the demonic cultivators from outside the world died inside the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and formed the origin of demonic energy after being transformed, the environment here has become more and more suitable for demonic cultivators to practice.
The Magic Cloud Cave has a special space. It is connected to the earth's fetal membrane from the inside of the space. If this place is controlled by a real demon from outside the world, power can continuously penetrate into the Yuanyang Realm through the Magic Cloud Cave.
Although the earth's fetal membrane only has a thin layer, it is transformed by the will of the Yuanyang world, and its power level is several points higher than that of true immortals and demons.
As long as the true immortals and demons in the lower realm pass through the fetal membrane of the earth, their magic power will be limited to the Yuanshen stage. It is the will of the Yuanyang world that plays a role.
As for true immortals and monks under the realm of demons, as long as they are not people of this world and do not have the life aura given by the origin of the world, they will also be blocked by the earth's fetal membrane. Unless by chance, it will be difficult to enter the earth's membrane from the outer starry sky.
, enter the Yuanyang realm.
Therefore, even if Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan become Yuanshen and use Ziyang Xianyun to find another great world, they cannot penetrate the earth's fetal membrane and it will be difficult to penetrate into this world.
Precisely because the Demon Cloud Cave is so important, ever since Qingyunzi became a soul, he has spent most of his time guarding the cave on top of the earth's fetal membrane, blocking this gap to prevent the founder of all calamities from escaping, and to prevent outside demons from entering through here.
In the realm of Yuanyang.
As Qingyunzi's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, his incarnation's combat power gradually took shape, and his natal plane was also refined into a Yuanling. Just when he had been planning for many years to get rid of this demon. The Patriarch of Ten Thousand Tribulations actually alerted the people he was being ordered to use through his disciples and grandsons.
The Garo Demon God who suppressed the True Demon Mountain.
This move really caught the Nanyazhou monks off guard.
Discovering that the real demon was about to awaken, Patriarch Zhou of the Wuyun Sect was unwilling to consume his source to contain the demon, and left this mess to Qingyunzi, the most powerful person in the Yuanyang Realm.
The demon god awakened and restrained the incarnation of Qingyunzi in the True Demon Mountain. In addition, the whereabouts of Qingyunzi's real body were unknown a few years ago, and there was no news left. The important task of sealing the Demonic Cloud Cave could only be left to Taoist Yu. Fortunately, Qingyunzi
The Lingbao Qinglong Taixu Sword was refined into Yuanling, which can bear very important responsibilities.
Taixu Qinglong Sword is Qingyunzi's natal flying sword. It has been refined into a magic weapon Yuanling. The combat power of this sword is also equivalent to that of a real Yuanshen.
In the last demon hunting conference, it was this flying sword that blocked the incarnation of the Patriarch of All Tribulations outside the earth's fetal membrane. The power of this sword was enough to make the incarnation of the Patriarch of All Tribulations on the second level of Yuanshen dare not move rashly.
Everyone waited near the Moyun Cave for more than ten days, and saw that the Moyun Cave had been opened. Taoist Yu unfolded his sleeves and released a golden cloud. His body slowly flew into the sky, like a meteor flying across the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Beyond the consciousness of everyone, he came outside the fetal membrane of the earth.
His physical body sat cross-legged at the entrance of the Demon Cloud Cave, and a black and yellow energy formed in his body to lock the entrance of the cave. His soul manifested and shot into the Demon Cloud Cave in an instant, where he found the true form of his old rival, the Patriarch of All Tribulations.
Upon discovering that Taoist Yu's Yuan Shen was coming to kill him, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Tribulations shouted loudly and waved his hands to release five volcanoes, trapping Taoist Yu.
These five volcanoes were all created by the demon sons and grandsons sent by the Patriarch of All Calamities to collect the essence of the five elements, and they were refined after many years of hard work.
These five volcanoes can be as large or small as you like. They are usually hidden on the altar of Moyun Cave. They can be arranged into a magic array at a moment's notice. This treasure has already been sacrificed by the founder of Wanjie. It can be used as you wish. It is integrated with the space of Moyun Cave and has great power.
It is unparalleled in size and is a very powerful magical power of the old devil.
Taoist Yu has fought many times with the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Tribulations, so he naturally understands this magical power of the old demon. With just one finger of his hands, a ball of green and white air has formed.
A ball of air shot out from the tips of Taoist Yu's fingers and slowly floated in the air.
Although the air mass formed by the blue and white Qi looked small, it had an astonishing suction force that caused the five volcanoes to tremble continuously, and wisps of magic fire were also sucked into the air mass.
The Patriarch of Ten Thousand Tribulations has seen many people before, and he immediately recognized that Taoist Yu had used the magical power of Yuan Magnetic True Qi.
Yuanci Zhenqi restrained the Five Elements and found that the Five Elements Demonic Fire had no effect. The Master of All Calamities immediately took back the five volcanoes and found that the Five Elements Demonic Fire had lost a lot. The Master of All Calamities could not suppress his anger and cursed loudly: "Old Man.
The dog is very thoughtful, today I will train your spirit."
Before he finished speaking, the Patriarch of All Calamities spat out blood to donate, and the blood turned into a blood lotus.
The blood lotus swelled in the wind and turned into a lotus pod the size of an acre.
The lotus flower opened quickly, covering one layer after another. In the blink of an eye, it had formed a thousand layers of lotus petals. The petals shot out streaks of blood, like a torrential rain, hitting Yu Taoist.
There are seven holes in the central lotus room, each of which shoots out a streak of bloody thunder.
The thunder rumbled, bringing with it streaks of lightning, which rose to a height of a hundred feet and rolled down, hitting Taoist Yu's soul from all directions.
Facing this stormy attack, Daoist Yu's body emitted streaks of yellow light. The yellow light was extremely thick and concise, covering Daoist Yu from head to toe.
This yellow light is the black and yellow divine light refined by Taoist Yu, and it is also a powerful defensive magical power.
Whether it was ten thousand blood arrows or seven thunderbolts, they hit the yellow light head-on and face-to-face. Although the yellow light was a bit dim, it could not really hurt Taoist Yu's soul.
Seeing that even after consuming the essence and blood in his body, all the demonic and supernatural powers he used could not do anything to Taoist Yu.
The Patriarch of Ten Thousand Tribulations looked coldly, and waved his hand to release the twelve demon gods who had been sacrificed for many years.
Twelve skull demon heads flew up at the same time, each one as big as a wheel.
The devil let out a sharp roar from his mouth, and sprayed out streams of bloody flames and black gas from his seven orifices, and rushed towards Daoist Yu from all directions with a ferocious expression.
These twelve demon gods were extremely ferocious, and even swallowed traces of yellow light into their mouths when biting.
After a while, the Xuanhuang Gangqi had become thinner.
Even Daoist Yu, the ancestor of Yuanshen, is somewhat afraid of the twelve demon gods.
Taoist Yu raised his hand and released the flying sword, forcing the twelve demon gods away. Although the demon gods were powerful, they did not dare to confront the flying swords controlled by the Yuanshen monks.
At the same time, the Patriarch of Wanjie also released a magic sword to attack Taoist Yu.
Within a short period of time, one demon and two Yuanshen monks were involved in a fierce fight.
These two are old rivals who have fought against each other for many years. Both sides have a deep understanding of each other's magical powers, and for a moment there is no way to tell the winner.
In every demon refining conference, the two sides either did not fight or fell into a stalemate.
Just when Taoist Yu was restraining the true form of the Patriarch of All Tribulations, a fierce struggle broke out at the entrance of Moyun Cave.
