The scene inside Longmen was different from what Su Anran imagined.
Outside the huge torii gate inside and outside the boundary dragon gate, Su Anran saw a thick fog, and his spiritual perception could not extend inside at all: all spiritual consciousness would disappear completely when it touched the white fog, as if
It's like being swallowed up by something unknown.
It is not shielded and distorted, but swallowed up and consumed.
There is a very obvious essential difference between the two.
Just like on the iron chain bridge, Su Anran's consciousness can extend out, and he can still perceive the situation within a certain range, but this range is very small, and there is a phenomenon similar to some kind of delay, and if it exceeds the range, the perception
It will be weakened until it disappears - this is distortion and shielding.
But outside the dragon gate, the extended spiritual perception completely disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed from the beginning. There was no buffering process, which made people feel very abrupt.
This is devouring.
But after entering Longmen, it was not the case.
Inside Longmen, it is like another world.
On the green grassland, there is a rapid river flowing from north to south.
The sound of water rushing.
The location where Su Anran entered was next to the water flow, and behind him was a torii gate.
Standing here, he could look back and see the scene outside, so Su Anran could clearly see that his Ninth Senior Sister seemed to have used the golden rule again, and her black hair turned into white hair, and then she was taken care of by the Fifth Senior Sister.
Escape Talisman sent away.
Now the outside world has turned into a situation where Ao Man and Wang Yuanji are confronting each other.
He knew that was not a battle he could intervene in.
Otherwise, the new system's mission would not have been triggered when he entered the dragon gate.
[Mission: Find and prevent the sublimation ritual]

Su Anran's mission system was copied only after meeting Zhu Yuan.
So he also obtained enough information about this mission system from Zhu Yuan.
Although it is very different from Zhu Yuan's mission system, there are still some essential things in common.
For example, the mission system will not publish missions that the host cannot complete - Zhu Yuan's mission acquisition method is most often triggered by other people's dictation and requests, but occasionally it will be triggered when entering certain areas.
time, the possibility of automatic triggering; regardless of the triggering mode, sometimes there are situations where the completion conditions of the task are different from the way the target is specified.
Once, Zhu Yuan received a request from his master from Beihai Sword Island to arrest a certain demon cultivator. However, what his mission interface showed was to kill the demon cultivator or recover a certain demon cultivator.
A magic weapon - this means that it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Yuan to capture this demon cultivator with his own strength. After all, unless he is strong enough to crush the opponent, it is unlikely that he will be captured alive in the mysterious world.
the possibility of the other party.
Because it is naturally impossible for both sides in the battle to have any spare strength, and death is naturally a normal thing when taking action with all their strength.
At that time, Zhu Yuan naturally chose the simplest and most trouble-free solution: kill the demon cultivator.
But from Zhu Yuan's description before, Su Anran heard different intelligence information: When the task interface displays more optional completion methods, it not only means that the means of completing the task are operable, but also that
This means that the difficulty of this task is not low, and there must be many other trap factors in it.
In fact, it was just as Su Anran expected.
The reason why Beihai Jiandao asked Zhu Yuan to arrest the demon cultivator was naturally for the robbed magic weapon. However, the identity of the demon cultivator had a strong background, and even Beihai Jiandao was not very willing to provoke him. But
However, Zhu Yuan killed the opponent, which naturally led to a series of bad effects later: the grandfather of the demon cultivator was the patriarch of one of the twenty-four demon king clans, and he happened to be the demon king.
One of the most promising offspring.
The subsequent development, of course, was that Zhu Yuan could only hide in Beihai Sword Island for fifty years, so that the mysterious world almost forgot such a number one figure.
At this time, Su Anran only saw the display of his mission interface, and he had already seen the trap hidden in the mission system.
With his strength, it is possible to kill the mirage saint who has not yet grown up.
But the subsequent consequences are likely to be unbearable for him - even if he has a team of senior sisters from Taiyi Valley, and even Huang Zi, a big killer, Su Anran does not blindly think that he is the chosen one.
Able to walk sideways in the mysterious world.
If he kills the Great Sage Mirage here, then he may really have to hide in Taiyi Valley for decades or hundreds of years.
This is not the result Su Anran wants.
"So, I can only choose the other two ways?" Su Anran's eyes narrowed slightly, "But..."
Su Anran breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of excitement in her eyes.
But he is not a pedantic person, so if the opportunity is good, he will naturally not give up the last strategy.
Su Anran would not admit it, the reward was too delicious.
…
"Ao Man still used the Dragon Palace Order."
Two pretty figures walked barefoot on the rushing water.
The person in front is Zhen Yu.
Outsiders only know her name and think she is a dragon or horned dragon subordinate of the Bihai clan, but occasionally they can't help but wonder how old this person is, that she can ignore the surname given by the old Dragon King.
Although in the Demon Alliance, some relatively weak ethnic groups may also have the phenomenon of returning to their ancestors, thereby gaining the opportunity to join the big clan - the more stable method is naturally the sublimation ceremony of Longmen.
From the perspective of Huang Zi and Su Anran, this is a path of transformation and evolution of vitality, just like the transformation from cocoon to butterfly.
The most unstable thing is naturally the phenomenon of atavism. After all, this is an individual case.
Because of this, if this happens occasionally, demon cultivators who join a big clan will often not change their names.
For example, Apa from the Qinglin clan, Chi Qi from the Akhara clan, etc. - the former was born in a small clan and just wanted to remember his original intention; the latter was because his return to his ancestors was not complete, and there is no Qilin in this world.
Because of the existence of clans, Chi Qi, who could not find a clan, had no choice but to continue to stay in the original clan, so there was no need to change.
But the Bihai clan is different.
Whether it is a dragon or a horned dragon, they will all be given the name of the Blue Sea Dragon King.
Some are just given surnames - no matter what their previous surname was, once they become a subject of Conglong, they will change their surname to Ao.
For example, the black dragon, the son of the one-horned demon, clinging to the dragon snake clan of the Bihai clan, got a chance to enter the dragon gate, and he was basically certain that as long as he could become a subordinate of the dragon, he would get the royal surname "Ao"
given and will not change.
Of course, Heijiao himself was not very happy about it.
And even the names of some subordinates of the dragon will be changed.
For example, Ao Cheng is a subordinate of the Horned Dragon. He was previously a descendant of the Blood Fang Clan and was named Zaiyuan. However, he later got the opportunity to enter the Dragon Gate and transformed into a Horned Dragon. As a result, he received the name "Ao Cheng" given by the old Dragon King.
It is said that the metaphor means "something will come true".
But now it seems that "nothing has been accomplished".
It is precisely because of this that the name "Zhen Yu" surprised many demon clans accompanying him this time.
Some people even speculated whether she was the illegitimate daughter of the old Dragon King and Ao Wei's half-sister.
The situation of the Bihai clan is somewhat different.
Because of the old Dragon King's powerful bloodline ability, the children born will definitely be the legitimate ancestral dragon bloodline children of the Bihai clan. But also because the bloodline is too strong, it is not easy to give birth to children, so although the Bihai Dragon King's harem has a large number
Many - not to mention three thousand, but there must be eight hundred, and it also includes almost the entire demon alliance group, and even a lot of human female monks.
But despite the large size of the harem, only those who can truly give birth to children are qualified to be called concubines and have sufficient status and privileges in the Bihai clan. Otherwise, their status is only slightly higher than that of ordinary monks or demon cultivators.
Just a little bit.
In the past tens of thousands of years, there were only three women from the Bihai clan who were truly qualified to be called concubines.
They are the first queen, the second queen and now the third queen.
Why do we say first term and second term?
Naturally, it was because these two people did not have as long a life span as the old Dragon King. After their realm breakthrough failed, they became a pile of bones.
But no matter which queen they were, the children they gave birth to were clearly written on the Bihai clan's genealogy.
Only Zhen Yu is not on the Bihai clan's genealogy.
Therefore, for this woman who can travel with Ao Man and Ao Wei, and even has a higher profile than these two, the other fellow demon cultivators who entered the Dragon Palace ruins this time are naturally very curious, and they will inevitably talk about it in private.
One after another.
Only those who know the truth will think that those people are really brave.
Is the Great Sage Mirage someone you can criticize?
"Sister Zhen." Ao Wei said softly, "Seventh Brother must be helpless."
Hearing Ao Wei's voice, Zhen Yu turned his head and smiled: "I didn't say that his actions were wrong... If the disciples of Taiyi Valley are as powerful as you said, then he should actually have been there from the beginning.
Use the Dragon Palace Order to completely establish your own advantages instead of waiting until now...people have already taken advantage of it."
"What?!" A look of shock appeared on Ao Wei's face, "Someone came in? Is it Wang Yuanji, or..."
"It's a man." Zhen Yu tilted his head, a strange look appeared on his face, "But it's strange... Why does he smell like me?"
"Su Anran!"
Ao Wei knew who it was instantly.
She had an angry look on her face with gritted teeth: "Sister Zhen, this is the person who took away your Yunhai Pei! He conspired with the fallen fox in Qingqiu to take away everything you put in your former residence!"
"Sapphire?"
"Yes." Ao Wei nodded, "That's her. But I heard that she died in the Tianyuan Secret Realm in order to help Su Anran block the knife... But the strange thing is that such a big thing happened, Qingqiu
The ancestor of the clan didn’t react at all.”
Hearing Ao Wei's words, Zhen Yu couldn't help but have a strange look on his face: "Do you really think Qingyu is dead?"
Ao Wei was stunned.
"Isn't it?"
"Do you know the "Demon King's Code" of our demon clan?"
"I know." Ao Wei nodded.
Regarding the book "The Demon King's Code", no one in the entire Demon Alliance knows about it.
The demon clan cultivator who ruled the entire demon clan back then, making the demon clan once the overlord of this world, and enslaved humans, was the demon emperor.
He was the first great master to embark on the path of cultivation when the third era was revived.
It was he who started the path of cultivation in the entire Xuan Realm - not just the demon clan, but also the human clan's cultivation techniques all evolved from his "Demon Emperor Code".
It can be said that the current tone of cultivation in Xuanjie is the rules he established in the past.
This is also the reason why the demon clan now only has the Great Sage but no demon emperor.
Not even the seven great sages dared to erase his achievements.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.
Even though the cultivation level of the seven great sages in the Xuan Realm now far exceeds that of the Demon Emperor, they would rather create a new term "Great Sage" than call themselves the Demon Emperor. Even the Demon King under the Great Sage, even if
He is extremely powerful and can be called the Demon King among Demon Kings. At most, he calls himself Demon Emperor, not Demon Emperor.
At this point, it is exactly the opposite of the situation of the human race.
Because the word "demon emperor" has great symbolic meaning for the demon clan.
Unlike the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" of the human race, the Five Emperors are respected - meaning the masters who control the five directions.
Of course, the five directions here are not the five directions, but refer to the five directions of swordsmanship, martial arts, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism.
Among them, the "one side" of Kendo is Wanjianlou, which is known as the Sword God Palace; the "one side" of Buddhism is naturally the Great Sun Tathagata Sect; the "one side" of Confucianism is Baijiayuan; the "Wandao Palace" on the Taoist side
.
What's interesting is that originally the "Martial Arts" side was Tiandaomen, Dahuang City, and Shenyu Villa competed with each other. However, since Taiyi Valley was born, Huang Zi directly took over this title, making the other three families always want to compete with each other.
To create a blockage in Taiyi Valley.
As for the "Three Emperors", they are the three aristocratic families of Dongfang, Ximen and Nangong.
On the side of the Monster Clan, there are the "Three Saints and Eight Emperors" - the Eight Emperors naturally refer to the eight patriarchs of the Eight Kings clan. The Three Saints are just the nominal patriarchs of the clan and are called ancestors, but in fact
People generally do not participate in the management of ethnic groups.
This is just like the mayor and the executive deputy mayor are the same.
"In the "Demon Emperor's Canon" written by himself, the Demon Emperor has a secret ritual called 'Slaughtering', which is to transform from a monster beast or a demon clan into a spirit beast or spirit clan." Zhen Yu said slowly, "You
She once said that what Qingyu practiced was not the secret technique of the Qingqiu clan, but the "Demon Emperor Code", so she must have been exposed to this secret technique... And as far as I know, the prerequisites for the use of this secret technique are
, you just have to die once.”
"But, our demon tribe..." Ao Wei was a little surprised.
"You need to understand a concept." Zhen Yu said slowly, "Our true dragon clan is not a demon clan, but a spiritual clan. So when the demon emperor unified the demon clan, he did not include us true dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns.
Wait for other ethnic groups, because we can't play together... It's just that when they enslaved the human race, we chose to stand by and watch... Of course, we don't think it was anything wrong, after all, the jungle eats the strong."
Ao Wei was a little dazed. It was obviously the first time she heard such a secret.
"The human race is born weak and has a short lifespan, so what's wrong with becoming servants? If you must say something wrong, it means that they are too weak. In the mysterious world, weakness is the biggest original sin." Zhen Yu said calmly, but
say
The words he came from were enough to make any human monk feel angry, "Even back then, I had many servants of the human race... But there is still a fundamental difference between us being servants of our spirit clan and being servants of the demon clan.
."
"What's the difference?"
"It's like the difference between a scholarly family and a wealthy family." Zhen Yu thought for a moment, and then said, "Being a servant of our spirit tribe, you can at least live a slightly more dignified life, but it is just a little more dignified. After all, we spiritual people
The clan has many rules, and the human race was reproducing very fast at that time, so if the rules were violated, it would be a matter of course for us to execute a group of servants."
"But the demon clan is different... In their eyes, the human race is not only a servant, but also food."
Zhen Yu's tone was impartial and neutral, but Ao Wei could tell that in the eyes of the Great Sage Mirage, these things were very normal - whether it was the monsters eating people, or just casually
Whether it's killing someone or not, it's just as normal as eating when you're hungry and drinking water when you're thirsty.
"Perhaps it is because of this that the human race later chose to resist after they gained strength... I don't think it is the idea of slavery and freedom, it is just that they do not want to be used as food anymore, or it is an idea.
The psychological factor of showing off was at play." Zhen Yu shrugged, "But no matter what, they succeeded and successfully got rid of their low status. This is still worthy of praise."
"Then we and the demon clan..."
"You have to remember that this is another bad trait of the human race, anger, arrogance, and... betrayal." Zhen Yu's voice suddenly turned cold, "Do you really think that when the Demon Emperor was reincarnated, the human race only relied on the Sword Sect,
Can the three factions of Lingshan and Tiangong destroy the entire demon clan? It was they who asked us, the Ling clan, for assistance to help them contain and kill the demon emperor, so that the human race had the ability to break away from the shackles."
"But what happened next? The humans betrayed us."
Zhen Yu snorted coldly and looked very ugly: "The group of bald donkeys in Lingshan, together with the Sword Sect, launched an attack when we were not prepared. The Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan were almost wiped out. We, the True Dragon Clan, realized something was wrong and did not listen to each other.
Only by lying did he luckily escape the disaster of genocide...After that, the surviving spirit clan, led by your father, made peace with the demon clan and formed an alliance to resist the pressure from Lingshan and Sword Sect."
"But what we didn't expect was that Tongji would betray us, causing our alliance to suffer a heavy blow. The seven great saints no longer trusted each other, and two of them even left directly." Zhen Yue spat out softly.
With a heavy breath, "That time
The heavy damage led to the destruction of my tribe, as well as the Panlong and Yinglong tribes. Your father was left with only the Horned Dragon and Jiaolong tribes...After that time, I knew that I had to find a way to let
The spirit race and the demon race are truly united."
"So Sister Zhen, you... are dead?"
"Yes." Zhen Yu nodded, with neither joy nor sadness on his face, "I know that only if I die can your father's ideal be truly realized, so that the spirit race and the demon race will no longer be separated from each other, but will form
A closer, more united alliance...and it actually worked, didn't it?"
"Then... why..."
"Resurrection?" Zhen Yu seemed to know what Ao Wei wanted to say, so he explained with a smile, "I have also read "The Demon King's Code", so I know the secret technique. I also know why Qingyu dared to
The possibility of taking such a risk to try that secret technique... It’s just that she is different from me. She wants to break away from the identity of the demon clan, and I just extracted the meaning of resurrection from it."
As the great sage of the mirage, Zhen Yu is a spirit race himself, so there is no need for him to transform into a spirit race.
So what she needs is just the part about how to make herself "alive" again in the secret technique of "transfiguration".
"Why does Qingyu dare to take such a risk?"
"Qingyu took away the treasure clothes I made with the things left behind when I shed my skin. When I was successfully resurrected, except for a few inconsequential small magic weapons, all the magic weapons made from my own fur and blood,
No one can use it except me or people I approve." Zhen
Raku said, "So, when I really woke up, Qingyu was actually the first person to know about my resurrection... However, she may not be very sure herself, but no matter what, she was indeed
It also gave me the motivation to take the risk and try the secret technique of 'transfiguration'."
"That's it!" Ao Wei suddenly understood. "No wonder during that period, Qingyu suddenly lost her ambition completely and no longer wanted to compete with Qingshu."
"I don't know what happened in the Tianyuan Secret Realm that made her finally make that decision." Zhen Yu said slowly, "But what I am sure of is that she must not have been fully prepared at that time.
So the possibility of her being resurrected is not high... After all, I have waited for eight thousand years for this opportunity to be resurrected."
Speaking of this, Zhen Yu glanced at Ao Wei again, and then suddenly laughed, "But I know that your father did try his best. I can feel it."
"Yes, my father tried his best." Although Ao Wei didn't know what Zhen Yu meant when she said this, of course she would be happy since she was praising her father, "And anyway, you were finally resurrected successfully.
Sister Zhen."
"Yes." Zhen Yu nodded, "Finally... the resurrection was successful. However, if I want to return to my original strength, I still need the current sublimation ceremony. Only if the ceremony is successful, can I regain my
Everything lost."
"No problem!" Ao Wei said with confidence, "I have dealt with Su Anran once in the Fantasy Secret Realm. I still know the strength of this person very well... The outside world says that he has his destiny now.
The level of cultivation is no better than that of a human being
The tribe always likes to exaggerate. I think his strength is at most the level of his first entry into the realm of destiny. After all, no matter how evil a disciple of Taiyi Valley is, he cannot directly enter the realm of destiny from the divine sea in less than six years.
Reality, right?”
"In this dragon gate, my strength can be increased, and I have several secret skills given by my father, which is more than enough to deal with him." Ao Wei said, "Sister Zhen, you can just go through the sublimation ceremony with peace of mind.
Just leave Su Anran to me, I'm planning to settle the debt with him in the Illusion Sea."
"Then I'll all rely on you." Zhen Yu said with a smile.
