Bailian's eyes suddenly narrowed deeply, and there was a hint of sharpness in his gaze.
In the God's Punishment Forest, in order to save Shang Chang, Bai Li'an had a chance encounter with Yan Poyun.
Since the golden rain fell, he has never seen the strongest defender of the Golden Sea again, and he has never seen anyone in the most dangerous life-and-death battles in the Corridor and Abyss.
A so-called defender appears.
Without using his trump cards, Yan Poyun's cultivation level was more than a hair above his.
As for the defenders in the Corridor's Abyss, they were not affected by the chaotic sound of the tide. Why were all the defenders beside them unscathed and able to escape unscathed from the God's Punishment Forest? However, the most powerful one was the one who was affected by the sound.
So seriously injured?
"Yes." Shang Chang's face was calm and his eyes were deep: "And now... he has reached the point of death. If other defenders had not discovered him in time and taken him away from the God's Punishment Forest, and now he is nourished by the elixir in the mountain, he would
I’m afraid he has already died.”
Qi Shan snorted coldly and said in an unfair tone: "The strongest defender in Kunlun Mountain is nothing more than that. He will only help the evildoers and watch with cold eyes!
He is clearly a citizen of Kunlun Demon Fairy just like us. As a compatriot in Tongze, when your brother is being bullied and in trouble, he just doesn’t help you. Instead, he actually protects the magic sticks of the True Immortal Sect. It’s really
I don’t know what use Kunlun Mountain’s resources have been used on him over the years!”
Bai Lian asked: "Do you know who he fought with and was seriously injured?"
Shang Chang's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "This is the strange thing I said. There are no traces of trauma or fighting on Yan Poyun's body. The reason why he was so seriously injured was because of the erosion and infection of the golden holy energy. His soul
The roots are damaged, so it is difficult to wake up."
"Spiritual roots?"
Bailian remembered that the demon clan cultivated demon essence did not have the source of spiritual roots.
The loss of Hanyu in Kunlun Mountain means that the people in the mountain have lost the opportunity to ascend to immortality. In order to overcome the tribulation, Yan Poyun ascended. He did not know what means, he invited a spiritual root, tempered the immortal bones, and knocked on the spiritual platform.
He became a demon immortal and guarded the Pure Ruins of Kunlun.
So many defenders were unharmed despite the chaos.
Only Yan Poyun, who possesses spiritual roots, is most seriously affected by the chaotic tide.
But this problem does not stem from Shen Jibai's spiritual roots.
Thinking of this, Bailian couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "So, if you want to become the guardian of Kunlun, you really need the True Immortal Cult."
Balian tapped the center of his eyebrows with a thoughtful smile: "This True Immortal Sect really has great immortal skills. Just by tapping the center of people's eyebrows, the immortal knocked on the spiritual platform to revive the spirit, and then he broke the rules and cast a
A path to immortality.
Those who follow this path will transcend tribulations and ascend to become the guardians of this mountain. They can even ignore the corrosive power of the chaotic tides and guard the corridors and abyss of the sky for thousands of years without getting involved in any filth."
He raised his eyes leisurely: "Even the empress dare not boast that she has been standing in the golden sea for tens of millions of years without being infected by it at all, but the True Immortal Sect has such an ability to reach heaven and save the world. In this way, why not call it
Wouldn't it be safer for the demon immortals to retreat to the Kunlun Mountains and ask the True Immortal Sect to garrison this place where the six realms cannot defend?"
At this moment, even Qi Shan, a brainless man, understood what Bai Lian meant.
He frowned deeply and said, "Do you still suspect that there is something wrong with the Zhenxian Sect's ritual of knocking on the soul?"
Balian glanced at him leisurely and said, "Haven't you already verified this yourself?"
If there is no problem, then why did the Qi Shan brothers refuse the ceremony of kowtow and lead to the disaster of the Divine Punishment Trial?
The attitude of the True Immortal Sect at that time was also too abnormal.
Shang Chang's face was heavy: "All the laws in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. There is no shortcut. If the ordinary method of knocking on the soul can help us achieve the body of a demon and immortal, the master of Kunlun Mountain should be from his immortal world, and
Why do you need our empress to be the God of Kunlun?"
Balian muttered: "But it is undeniable that this ritual of knocking can indeed protect the guardians of Corridor Tianyuan from the influence of the golden sea mist."
Qi Shan sneered lightly and said: "Then why did Yan Poyun suffer such serious injuries this time and claim to be the strongest defender of Kunlun Mountain, but he is not even as good as those younger generations?"
Balian shook his head silently.
The information he knew now was too little, and it was difficult to deduce the various mysteries surrounding Yan Poyun.
Shang Chang's face remained calm for a while, and after being lost in thought for a long time, he raised his eyes to look at Bailian and said, "Actually, there is another thing that is very strange..."
Balian looked at him calmly, waiting for his next words.
Shang Chang frowned and said: "Kunlun Mountain has always had a strong emphasis on rules. All people in the mountain, whether they are defenders, officials in the temple, serving gods, or ordinary people in the mountain, must strictly abide by the rules and perform their duties.
This rule is particularly strict in the Forest of God's Punishment. As the guardian of the Corridor Tianyuan, Yan Poyun should lead a group of defenders to strictly guard the Corridor Tianyuan. They are not allowed to enter or leave the Forest of God's Punishment at will except under special circumstances.
Especially this year, in the Divine Punishment Trial, those who enter the forest are all immortal cultivators from all directions. The rule of the Divine Punishment Trial is that regardless of life or death, the results on the list are all based on one's own performance.
The guardians' cultivation level is too strong. If they leave the Corridor Tianyuan at will, it will cause great injustice to this trial. Therefore, the annual divine punishment trial has already formed a non-arbitrary attitude towards the guardians in the mountain.
Rules for leaving the Corridor and Tianyuan."
Bailian lowered his eyes and said, "But Yan Poyun appeared on the outskirts of the God's Punishment Forest."
Shang Chang said in a deep voice: "This is the strange thing."
Qi Shan looked puzzled, "The Corridor Tianyuan is the last line of defense against the Golden Sea, and Yan Poyun is the leader of the defenders. If the Golden Sea had not been breached, how could he leave the Corridor Tianyuan without an edict...
Could it be that the golden rain made him aware of the crisis, so he made arrangements to have the remaining defenders leave the Golden Sea in advance?"
At the end of the conversation, Qi Shan's face clearly began to show signs of wavering.
The people of Kunlun Mountain have always been proud of the Kunlun Guardians and regarded them as their greatest glory and goal in life.
The status of such a defender is extremely important in the hearts of every Kunlun citizen, so how can they be allowed to do such a cowardly thing of retreating without a fight?
Shang Chang glanced at his brother with a faint look and said, "But when we met Yan Poyun in the God's Punishment Forest, there was no strange phenomenon caused by the rain."
Balian continued: "And when I entered the Corridor Tianyuan, I didn't see any guardians in it."
Since the golden rain fell, Shang Chang's consciousness has been infected by the golden holy energy and he has lost his mind, and he does not know much about what will happen next.
Naturally, he knew nothing about what happened after Balian entered the Corridor Tianyuan.
"Corridor Tianyuan?!!!" Qi Shan widened his eyes, screamed strangely, and said in shock: "In such a crisis, you actually took the initiative to run to Corridor Tianyuan? What are you doing in a place like that? Are you looking for death?!"
Shang Chang couldn't hold his forehead and said, "Brother, I don't think this is the point of the matter."
In the Forest of God's Punishment, Balian rescued him many times, and the strength he displayed was indeed incredible.
After all, the Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan has a seal on his body. He should have no cultivation, but for some unknown reason, he can control the evil monsters in the forest with weird means.
There was even a little white snake that turned out to be the true dragon of heaven and earth. It was willing to recognize the corpse demon as its master and protect him.
Shang Chang didn't have any peeps into Bailian's secrets, so naturally he didn't ask any more questions about why he went to Corridor Tianyuan.
The more Qi Shan listened to Balian's words, the more mysterious they became. He scratched his head anxiously and said, "So what is going on?! Why do I suddenly feel that everything around me has become so unreal."
Bailian said: "Kowling on the spirit helps to regenerate immortal bones and refine the immortal body. This is an unreal thing.
Demons have their own way of demons, and immortals have their own way of immortality. Only with a unique bloodline like the Empress, such a genius who practices both the demon and immortal paths has come out in all eternity.
Hanyu Pond is a derivative of the Supreme Spirit of Heaven and Earth, and it is normal for it to have miraculous effects on monsters. However, as far as I know, among the current guardians of Kunlun Mountain, except for the empress, no one has passed through Hanyu Pond.
Yuchi’s method of washing bones made him an immortal.”
Qi Shan was not happy to hear such words, and complained: "The Hanyu Pond has been lost for hundreds of thousands of years. It has been assimilated by the demons into the Six Rivers of the Demon Realm. Now this thing is not still being refined in your body."
Is it inherited?
Otherwise, why would our young highness want to be so close to your aura? Hundreds of thousands of years! Most of the older generation of demons and immortals in the mountain died in the Corridor and Abyss, how could there be any left?"
Balian fell into deep thought.
But the little fox lying on his bed lazily yawned and said: "How stupid! Compare for yourselves the guardians who became immortals through the cold feather pond and the ones who became immortals through the true immortal teaching.
Don’t you already know the casualty rate of the defenders?”
"Injury...casualty rate?" Qi Shan looked stunned.
However, Shang Chang's expression gradually became serious, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The casualty rate of the seniors who became immortals through the cold feather pond is far higher than that of the guardians of the current True Immortal Sect who kowtow to their souls!"
A sharp gleam flashed in Balian's eyes!
Qi Shan was taken aback by this sudden low-pressure atmosphere. He hesitated and said, "If that's the case, hasn't the True Immortal Sect done a great thing?"
Shu Ci Fox's face was full of contempt: "If you think that is a good thing, you can go to the chief helm of the True Immortal Sect now and ask the True Immortals there to perform the kowtow ceremony for you. They promise to ignore the past grudges.
I am very happy to have your wish come true."
Qi Shan was startled and hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, no! I don't want it!"
Balian muttered: "Since the body of the demon immortal trained through regular bone washing in Hanyu Pond enters the Corridor Tianyuan to guard the territory, the casualties will be so serious. This also means that in fact, the body of the demon immortal is in the golden sea.
Among them, it is not completely unaffected."
However, the demon immortals with such a background are more in line with the demon immortals in Kunlun Mountain, and they are more likely to follow the path of Cang Nanyi.
Everything in the world, if you want to achieve what you want, you must pay a price.
Even saints are not exempt from vulgarity.
Shang Chang whispered: "But the demon immortals enlightened by the True Immortal Sect are completely unaffected."
Qi Shan finally noticed something was wrong and frowned: "This is impossible. Even demons and immortals like the empress cannot guarantee that they will not be corroded by the golden energy. How can they be completely unaffected?"
?”
All the deep emotions on Balian's face were hidden, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in his dark eyes.
"Unless they are not demons at all."
Not only Qi Shan was frightened by his simple words, but even Shang Chang, who had a calm mind, couldn't help but feel terrified for a moment. He suppressed the fear in his eyes and looked at Bailian with slightly trembling eyes.
"What... do you mean?"
"I have said that demons have their own ways, and immortals have their own ways. When all living things grow up, they all follow their own ways. As the God of Kunlun, the empress practices the two ways of demons and immortals, but the way she originated started from demons.
That's why I was affected by this chaotic tide.
The holy energy of the golden sea is enough to mess up the demon's mind, pollute its soul, and rot its flesh and blood.
The reason why the empress has been able to guard the Golden Sea for so many years is not only because of her heavenly saint cultivation, but also because she majors in the path of ruthlessness and is not involved in worldly desires. She has already had her own epiphany of the six realms of heaven and earth.
She has a mind that is as solid as ice and unstained by dust, which is difficult for anyone in the world to match. Therefore, even if the sound of the chaotic tide can hurt her body, it cannot damage her heart."
Having said this, Balian raised his eyes and continued: "But in these eternal years, she is the only demon fairy and heavenly saint who has appeared, and she is just one person. For guarding the Golden Sea, is it possible that this
Is there anyone in the world who can do better than her?"
Qi Shan's heart was so shocked that he didn't know what to do, and his mind was completely blank. He stammered: "But...but the current defenders are all my Kunlun people, how can they cheat?"
Bailian said: "I heard that there are ten 'big taboos' in Kunlun, one of which is the 'Tian Xing Dao'."
"good."
"If you, the demon immortal, intend to become the guardian of the Corridor and Tianyuan, you must walk on this path.
If you can complete this journey, you can wash away the worldly heart and deprive yourself of the six spiritual senses. This is to use an external force to forcibly wash away your own earthly desires and emotions, so that you can return to a simple mind, and then you can guard the Corridor and Tianyuan.
, become a defender.”
"Indeed...it's true."
Bai Lian looked at Qi Shan: "But the Yan Poyun I saw has all the 'greed, anger, stupidity and anger'. How can he say that the mind is pure and the body is pure?"
"This..." Shang Chang hesitated and said, "I don't know either...then in your opinion, why is this?"
Balian stroked the soft hair of the little fox in his arms with his fingers, and looked calm and thoughtful for a long time before speaking slowly:
"The golden rain did not come, but Yan Poyun was the only one who left Corridor Tianyuan, because he himself was afraid of the erosion of the holy power of the golden sea.
The strange rain fell, the trial ended, and among the many defenders, he was the only one seriously injured and seriously infected, so what is the difference between him and the other defenders?"
Speaking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in Shang Chang's mind. His eyes trembled and he said: "It's the spiritual root! Yan Poyun is different from other demon immortal guardians. He has Master Ji Bai's immortal power."
Pinlinggen!”
Qi Shan said in shock: "What are you talking about! That Mr. Jibai is only more than two hundred years old, and Yan Poyun has been a demon immortal for countless thousands of years. How can he get help from his spiritual roots? That's not him.
