Chapter 271 Above the South China Sea
He learned a lot from the memory of the demon cultivator named Qin Long!
Qin Long was one of the core elders of the Demon Cult and a close confidant of Shangguan Shengxian.
…Since entering the spirit world, Shangguan Shengxian has been chasing the Demon Emperor's coffin, and finally the Demon Emperor's coffin fell into her hands.
She became the direct successor of the Demon Emperor, and she was naturally gifted and had a good cultivation, and she had superb skills, so she naturally became the leader of the Demon Cult.
Under her leadership, the Demon Cult is now in a state of revival. There are many powerful people at the Refining Void level in the sect, but there are still very few powerful people, and it seems that there are only one or two.
The foundation is completely incomparable to that of the Dao Sect!
Now the people of the Demon Cult are widely distributed in Xinzhou and have taken root, especially the five major realms bordering the South China Sea, which have become their place of reproduction and survival.
A large number of people were transformed into demons by the strange aura, and a large amount of strange aura was provided for their cultivation...Now the power of the Demon Cult in Xinzhou is expanding rapidly. If it were not for the super powers such as Dao Sect and Brahma Sect to send out masters, the Demon Cult would have probably unified the entire Xinzhou long ago.
Even so, there are many people of the Demon Cult in places like Cangxuan Mountains, and they have been dormant.
The reason why Qin Long and others came here... is to wait for people!
Shangguan Shengxian sent him here to contact a certain force in the South China Sea!
The South China Sea Immortal Wind is coming. In addition to vigorously developing its own forces in the five major realms, the Demon Cult is also exploring the source of the Immortal Wind. After years of operation, it has established contact with some forces and existences on the sea.
Those forces and existences should have all been alienated.
"Shangguan Shengxian wants to go deep into the South China Sea through those forces on the sea, obtain more strange opportunities, and establish the Holy Land of the Demon Cult..."
Li An couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.
Shangguan Shengxian knew very well that no matter how strong she was in Xinzhou, she was definitely not a match for the Dao Sect and other forces, so she could only go to the South China Sea.
The South China Sea was indeed very suitable for the development of the Demon Cult.
The reason why Li An continued to refine blood food was to replace Qin Long and contact the people in the South China Sea.
--According to Qin Long's memory, the Demon Cult used many methods and had only recently established a connection. Both sides were not familiar with each other, so Li An pretended to be a member of the Demon Cult, and the other party would definitely not find any flaws.
Replacing the Demon Cult and establishing a connection with the South China Sea was also very useful for Li An.
After all, he also wanted to know the situation in the South China Sea. If possible, it would be best to establish one or two bases where he could settle down and practice, which would be perfect!
The South China Sea Immortal Wind originally came from the South China Sea. The forces there must have first-hand information. In addition, when the third major turmoil comes in the future, Li An will most likely need to go deep into the South China Sea to find the Hongmeng Immortal Qi!
"Qin Long's cultivation is not weak, but using the Immortal Coffin is a bit of a waste..."
At the same time, he was also reviewing the previous battle.
This was his first battle after entering the Refining Void Stage. He fought very cautiously. He first showed his cultivation in the Spiritualization Stage to paralyze the enemy, ambushed the Immortal Coffin in advance, and used the Immortal Coffin to directly injure Qin Long after he arrived...
But with Li An's current strength, even without any external objects, he has the confidence to fight against the middle stage of Refining Void!
Moreover, he thinks it will not be difficult.
From a certain perspective, Li An's current strength is definitely a true genius, the kind that can fight across levels.
Compared to the Dao Sect's Daoist genius, it may not be necessarily. Li An does not have this confidence, but ordinary people of the same level are really not good enough in front of him.
...
After refining the blood food, he destroyed all the traces at the scene.
"Qin Long's death will definitely be noticed by the Demon Cult..."
Li An pondered for a moment, and this matter must be done cleanly...
He caught several Yuanying-level spirit birds in the surrounding valleys, and then fed them the leaves of three small golden trees.
After taking the leaves, golden light suddenly appeared on the bodies of several birds.
Li An quickly took these spirit birds away, and went to the places occupied by Dao Zong, Wuxing Sect and other forces, and used the beast control technique to drive several spirit birds to fly.
Then he left quietly.
He did this to let these spirit birds lead Dao Zong and other forces to the Bolong Valley.
Just muddy the water.
When all major forces are involved, how can the Demon Cult judge and track down who killed Qin Long?
After doing this, Li An went deep into Cangxuan Ridge.
It is difficult to cross Cangxuan Ridge and reach the southern part of Taiqing Realm, because Dao Zong and other major forces use Cangxuan Ridge as their foundation and set up a large number of large formations to block the two sides.
The reason why Qin Long has not been there is because he is still waiting for the support from the Demon Sect.
Only by himself, Qin Long cannot break through the formation defense line built by Dao Zong and other forces.
It is difficult for the outside to come in, and it is also difficult for the people of the Demon Sect to go out.
Li An has a high authority. As a disciple of the Great Dao, he almost knows the details of the arrangement of Dao Zong here, so he also understands where the weakness of the formation is.
Two days later, he appeared in front of three parallel peaks. After careful research and thinking, he decided to "smuggle" through here.
The formation of Dao Zong is very strong, and this is the weakest, only the level of the sixth-level formation. For Li An now, it is really not difficult to find the flaw.
His formation cultivation is likely to be the strongest among the younger generation of Dao Zong, except for Shangguan Xiaoxiao, because only he uses the treatment of the Great Dao disciple level to practice these things.
Even among the older generation, it is difficult for anyone to be on par with him. At least the head of the formation hall is now afraid that he is not as good as him.
It took about a day for Li An to finally cross the Dao Sect's formation quietly, cross Cang Xuan Ridge, and reach the southern part of Taiqing Realm!
Cang Xuan Ridge was left behind, and the breath of the south was blowing in his face. At a glance, the world was gray and the strange breath seemed to be everywhere.
This area is indeed no longer suitable for any normal creature to survive!
At any time and anywhere, there is a strange wind blowing in the wilderness, all creatures are eroded, and the former human cities have become huge tombs with piles of corpses.
Li An circulated the magic energy, wrapped himself, and walked between heaven and earth.
He once doubted whether there were still normal living things in this world.
Occasionally, some spiritual beasts can be seen, but they are all alienated, and normal cultivators and plants are completely invisible.
Distortion and madness seem to be the only main theme here.
"A spiritual medicine that was once transformed into a fairy medicine, but it has rotted..."
He landed on a mountain peak and found a spiritual medicine, and couldn't help thinking.
Because this place is too close to the South China Sea, there is no obstruction. Even if there are immortal medicines and geniuses blown by the fairy breath mixed with the weird breath, they can't live too long. When the fairy breath dissipates and only the weird breath remains, those changed immortal medicine geniuses will quickly rot or be alienated.
"The fairy wind of the South China Sea is mixed with weird air and fairy air, but the fairy air will eventually dissipate, and what is left in the end is only weirdness... Is this why immortals will eventually die?"
He remembered the teachings of his master, Fairy Zi.
When the last big change really comes, the entire Xinzhou, the entire spiritual world, will become a world no different from here...
That really makes people... despair.
Even if you have become an immortal, what can you do? Just like the spiritual medicine in front of him, it was once blessed by the fairy breath and became an immortal medicine, but now it is withering and rotting!
Li An continued to move forward, his speed was very fast.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, when passing by a village, Li An heard the voice of a living person.
He came quietly, and saw that almost all the villagers in the village had died due to the strange erosion, and a thin boy was dragging the corpses to the other end of the village.
He had dug many pits at the other end.
The boy looked about 17 or 18 years old, with a dark face. Although he looked normal, Li An's mind swept and found that his blood and bones had changed.
"Blood Demon Body."
He was moved.
The Blood Demon Body is one of the famous physiques of the Demon Cult. It can continuously improve itself by devouring the blood of others. The devil blood is extremely domineering.
The whole village was dead, but the boy was lucky. Under the strange stimulation, he awakened this blood.
"Dad, Mom, Sister, Aunt Zhang..."
The boy took a lot of effort to carry the villagers into the pit. Even though he had awakened the Blood Demon Body, he was still just a mortal, so he was too tired. He sat on the ground, looking at the many corpses, his eyes were so sad.
"Dad, Mom, Sister, I want to die too, but I can't... I really can't." The young man spoke sadly. There were many wounds on his hands, and even one on his neck. Obviously, he had tried to commit suicide. In such a world, everyone died, and only he was left alive strangely. For ordinary people... it was indeed worse than death. But he already had a strange aura in his body, and he was a blood demon body, so it was really difficult to commit suicide. He cried in front of many corpses. But soon, his crying turned into a strange roar, like a beast. He raised his eyes, his face was full of pain and hideousness, and his two canine teeth showed some signs of atavism. He was craving blood! This is a symptom that the blood demon body must have. "Ah... I want it so much, so much..." His eyes subconsciously fell on the bodies of his parents. The blood demon body, the strongest desire is the blood that is close to its own origin! "No... I can't, I can't!"
The boy's body was shaking. He whimpered and got up with difficulty. He ran to the other side of the village, where there was a pool of mud. He jumped in and buried himself in the mud.
"No... I can't eat my parents, sister... No..."
He was crying.
And at this moment, a hand suddenly lifted him up from the mud!
The boy fell to the ground and saw the strange man in front of him. He could no longer suppress his desire for blood. He went forward and grabbed Li An's wrist and bit it hard.
But his teeth bit on Li An's skin, but it was like steel. It was useless. Instead, it made his mouth full of blood.
"You can stop now." Li An said calmly.
As soon as the voice fell, the boy was like a madman who was suddenly injected with a sedative. Suddenly, the crazy tide that devoured himself subsided. He stared at the person in front of him in a daze.
"Immortal... Immortal, help me!"
The young man suddenly knelt in front of Li An and said, "Immortal, please, please save me, save my parents and sister..."
Li An helped him up and said, "I am not an immortal. I can't save your parents and sister."
"But I can save you."
The young man was so sad when he heard it, but he also said, "Please teach me, senior!"
"What's your name?"
"Yun Mo."
Yun Mo!
Li An nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I see that you have a kind heart. Are you willing to take me as your master? I will teach you the way to get rid of suffering and make you no longer commit the blood lust of beasts."
Yun Mo knelt down without hesitation and said, "Disciple Yun Mo, I pay my respects to the master, I pay my respects to the master!"
Li An smiled slightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to pay your respects to the master. I have another test."
He flicked his fingers and a ray of light sank into Yun Mo's mind. He said, "This is a spell. You can try to practice it first. After a while, I will come here. If you have achieved success in cultivation, I will consider accepting you as my disciple."
After that, Li An's figure disappeared directly from the spot.
Yun Mo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly knelt down deeply towards where Li An's figure was just now. He clenched his fists and said, "Master, I will definitely not let you down-"
...
Li An was preparing for the next move.
The Blood Demon Body is quite good, and when the weirdness finally comes, most people will die, and the Demon Cultivators will thrive in the weirdness.
In addition, the Demon Cult also sneaks in from time to time, looking for geniuses, etc.... The Blood Demon Body, they are definitely interested, and maybe they can do something with it.
One or two chess pieces are laid out in advance, as for how to use them, we will talk about it later.
The practice he gave Yun Mo is also problematic. After Yun Mo practices it, he will only feel extremely painful, as if being cut by a knife, and the gains will be very small.
Test his mind.
No matter how good the qualifications are, if the heart is not strong enough, it is not worth Li An's effort.
...
Leaving here, along the way, he released his divine thoughts without scruples, and found several living humans one after another, all of whom were alienated, but he did not stay.
After a long time, he arrived at Nanqing City, the first giant city in the southern part of Taiqing Realm.
Once upon a time, Nanqing City had a population of 10 billion, but now it is in a state of depression. The whole city is dead silent, with corpses piled up and rotting in the city.
This is the place where the Demon Cult and the South China Sea forces are preparing to meet.
As for who the person who is meeting is, Qin Long doesn't know, but the Demon Cult has determined through some method that there are cultivators from the South China Sea here.
After entering the city, Li An released his divine consciousness and found that someone had set up a formation in the city. A large amount of corpse aura rushed towards the center of the formation. He did not directly investigate, but said: "Daoist friend from the South China Sea, we are here, please show up and meet us--"
Soon after, a figure quickly walked out from the center of the formation and landed in front of Li An.
The person who came was actually a girl. She was wearing a glittering long skirt made of jade scales, and there was a huge black-shelled turtle beside her. Her skin was white and tender, with a rosy complexion. She looked like a normal person, as if she had not been alienated.
The South China Sea should have been shrouded in strange auras long ago. How did this girl do it?
"Are you from the Demon Cult?"
The girl asked.
"Yes, I am from the Demon Cult. May I ask what your name is? Where are you from in the South China Sea?"
"Ying Meng'er, I am from Yingyuan Island."
The girl's eyes were a little alert, and she said, "Did you leave this thing? Do you really have a technique that can refine strange energy?"
She took out a formation plate that had been triggered.
Li An already knew that this formation plate was left by the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult had left similar formations in many cities. Only when someone absorbed the breath of the corpse in the city, it could be triggered, and the Demon Cult knew that the person they were looking for had appeared.
After all, the cultivation forces on the sea were too mysterious and too few, and Shangguan Shengxian had nowhere to look for them, so he could only wait in this way.
Moreover, Shangguan Shengxian seemed to know that the forces on the South China Sea must need the Demon Cult's techniques, so he used this as bait.
"Yes." Li An smiled slightly, took the formation plate from Ying Meng'er, and said: "Miss Ying, I want to meet the island owner of Yingyuan Island, can I?" Ying Meng'er is only in the Nascent Soul stage, and the old black turtle beside her is only at the fifth level, and is definitely not the boss of Yingyuan Island. Ying Meng'er shook her head and said: "No, give me the skills first!" Li An couldn't help but frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "Miss, if I'm not mistaken, you are not the one who originally contacted us, right? The one who contacted us
, let you kill me!"
Ying Meng'er's face changed drastically, and she said, "No..."
A bunch of black needles shot out from her sleeves towards Li An, and she quickly retreated. The big black turtle turned into a gust of wind to protect her from escaping. Even the formations in the city roared to stop Li An.
But Li An was a cultivator of the void, and was proficient in formations. How could she escape?
In the blink of an eye, Li An had built a spiritual vine cage to trap her and the big black turtle!
"You...you let us go! "
Ying Meng'er looked extremely ugly.
The big turtle beside her was desperately ramming, but it was useless.
Li An landed in the city and found another corpse in Ying Meng'er's place of practice.
This corpse was a young man. Like Ying Meng'er, he maintained a normal appearance and was not rotten or alienated. Li An checked and found that he should have been killed three days ago. He died under Ying Meng'er's black needle.
When Li An met and found that the other party was only in the state of transformation, he released his divine consciousness to check.
Because he was worried that there were masters lurking in the dark.
He spied right after he came up, that It was somewhat impolite.
Under his powerful divine consciousness, the corpse did not escape Li An's eyes at all. Moreover, Ying Meng'er was a little nervous in her behavior. He caught the subtle movement of her sleeves, which made him understand that Ying Meng'er had a problem.
"It's really interesting..."
Li An couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that he, a fake, would meet a fake!
"Miss Ying, it's not right for you to lie to me like this... Please tell me who you are and where you come from. Otherwise, I will take this corpse to the edge of the South China Sea. I think it won't take long to find out the truth. By then, it may be difficult for you to get away."
Li An spoke.
Ying Meng'er bit her lower lip with silver teeth and said nothing.
"Don't you want to say it? Then I have to use my magic skills to refine your soul. After searching your soul, I will naturally know everything I want."
Li An smiled slightly and was about to step forward.
Ying Meng'er's face changed drastically, and she said hurriedly: "Don't... I'll tell you! "
"I am really from Yingyuan Island!"
...
After some understanding.
Li An finally knew the whole story.
It turned out that the young man who was killed, as well as Ying Meng'er, were indeed from Yingyuan Island.
Yingyuan Island is a cultivation force in the South China Sea. It is quite powerful and once had a great master of Hedao in charge!
But many years ago, it was affected by the strange air. After a long time, Yingyuan Island finally found some ways to adapt to and reduce the influence of the strange air.
They mastered a "refining art" that can maintain their own self, but the price is also very high. Once you practice the refining art, it is basically impossible to break through the Hedao realm in this life.
Limit yourself Live.
Ying Meng'er has a high status in Yingyuan Island. She is the daughter of the current island owner Ying Tiannan. However, a few years ago, a major incident happened on Yingyuan Island. Her father was killed by other people on Yingyuan Island. She wandered around and fled to the land.
The young man she killed was named Ying Feng, who was in the God Transformation Stage. He had been looking for her whereabouts. He accidentally triggered the array left by the Demon Cult in this city, so he waited to connect with the Demon Cult. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Ying Meng'er in return.
The magic skill that can refine the strange energy also aroused her curiosity, so she waited and wanted to replace Ying Feng.
"My father is dead, I am the heir of Yingyuan Island! I am the island owner!"
Ying Meng'er said unwillingly, "Let me go, and I can cooperate with you when I take back Yingyuan Island."
Li An couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Ying, the sixth-level magic weapon in your hand is already incomplete and can't kill me. "
While telling him these things, Ying Meng'er was secretly preparing a magic weapon to attack Li An.
Ying Meng'er was immediately discouraged. Her expression was a little complicated. She simply let go of the magic weapon in her hand and said, "What do you want? Kill me?"
Li An shook his head and said, "No."
He waved his hand, and the vines around him disappeared.
"It's cooperation with anyone. Since Miss Ying is the heir of Yingyuan Island, you are the island owner of Yingyuan Island. We are naturally willing to cooperate with you."
Ying Meng'er was very surprised.
"Miss Ying, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Ying Feng died here, and someone will come soon. We have to find a safe place first."
Li An opened his mouth and said, "I came here all the way. There is a place with a strong strange smell and it is quite secretive. It is suitable for hiding. Miss Ying is willing to go there? "
Ying Meng'er hesitated, but then she thought, if Li An wanted to harm her, he could do it right away, so why would he bother? So she nodded and said, "Okay."
Li An took her away quickly, and soon they arrived at a mountain forest, where the mountains around were dense and the strange air was blocked, which was very suitable for practicing magic.
Li An opened up a cave and laid a sixth-level magic array, invited Ying Meng'er in, and smiled and said, "Miss Ying, how is this place?"
Ying Meng'er said, "Very good..."
She still had some doubts in her eyes, and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Li An said, "Miss, please don't worry, since we have already cooperated, I will protect you. As for the matters of cooperation... it's not too late to talk about it after you have cultivated the magic and taken back Yingyuan Island."
"Magic?!"
Ying Meng'er was a little nervous, and said, "Will you give me magic?"
"Of course! "
Li An smiled slightly and said, "Listen carefully, young lady!"
So, he immediately passed part of the magic skill to Ying Meng'er, who hurriedly wrote it down and slowly comprehended it. She couldn't help but have a look of sudden enlightenment and sudden enlightenment in her eyes.
They practiced with strange energy on Yingyuan Island. After dealing with strange energy for so many years, they already knew it very well. Now, after just one contact, she was sure that this skill... could definitely change the fate of their Yingyuan Island.
Even though she had doubts in her heart, she couldn't help but excitedly said at this moment: "Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!"
Li An waved his hand and said, "Young lady, practice first. I have something important to go out for."
"By the way, here is a gift."
Li An took out a box, which was the blood food he refined in the Dragon Valley, and smiled and said, "I hope the young lady likes it."
After that, he prepared to leave immediately.
"Senior... what's your name? "
Ying Meng'er has already respected Li An!
"Gu Changqing."
Li An said three words, and then left gracefully.
"Gu Changqing..."
Ying Meng'er stayed in the cave, still very excited. She took a deep breath, turned to look at the turtle next to her, and said: "Turtle, do you think this senior... is a good person?"
She felt... Li An didn't seem bad.
He was a good person.
...
Li An walked out of the cave, looking at the black needle magic weapon in his hand, but was thinking.
How can he find other people on Yingyuan Island?
Ying Meng'er is now in his hands. She is a great gift. If he sells it to Yingyuan Island, he should be able to get a good price, right? ? ? ?
...
