Shen Mo stayed in the Dragon Heart Realm for another half a year. He was convinced that Zhao Lingyin would not have any more accidents by practicing with the green wood spiritual power of the fairy tree, so he returned to the fairy world with the evil-eating centipede.
In the future catastrophe of immortality, the hidden danger of killing Qingsheng Yuanjun has been temporarily eliminated, but this does not rule out the possibility that Qingsheng Yuanjun will take action against him and Zhao Lingyin again in the future.
Only by killing this old witch completely can future troubles be eliminated forever!
However, this matter is difficult to achieve... Not to mention that Shen Mo has not yet become a true immortal, even if he becomes an immortal, it will not be easy to get rid of Qingsheng Yuanjun.
Shen Mo was not the only one who had a deadly feud with Qingsheng Yuanjun. Tens of thousands of years ago, Jiuxiao Xuannv was surrounded and killed. Her immortal body was divided into millions of parts and buried in the Shinto world. There was also Qingsheng Yuanjun. a contribution.
Now that the Nine Heavens Xuannv has been resurrected and has become the ancestor of the new era of gods, her Taoism is also considered top-notch in the Celestial Realm. However, she still has nothing to do with Qingsheng Yuanjun. Otherwise, how could she allow Qingsheng Yuanjun to survive to this day and still be here and there? Come out and make trouble!
With the further improvement of the Hunyuan Dharma, Shen Mo was promoted to the late stage of Wuxiang, and was only one small level away from the true immortal realm. Once he stepped into the peak realm, the fate of becoming an immortal would come at any time.
In the days to come, there will be many signs of external murders and robberies, which he needs to deal with one by one.
"Senior Meng's real body is unknown. I used the dream method to enter the dream world before, and I didn't notice anything unusual... Let's put aside the hidden dangers about the dream world for the time being, and start solving the hidden dangers about the devil first!"
However, Shen Mo was in trouble again as to where to start.
When he performed the divination earlier, the hexagrams pointing to the Heavenly Demon were extremely vague, and he had so many causal entanglements with the Heavenly Demon clan that it was impossible to deduce where this external murderous calamity came from.
The hundreds of millions of demon soul generals in the Soul Refining Banner are refined from hundreds of millions of heavenly demons.
If this killing calamity should be here, then when he passes through the immortal calamity, it is very likely that the demon soul will attack, the soul refining flag will bite back, a demon soul will advance to the seventh level and escape his control, etc., etc. !
He also has a lot of grudges with the seventh-level demon Chunyangzi.
At that time, this great demon divided its origin and demon nest into hundreds of millions of parts and scattered them all over the place, creating 300 million accompanying demon soul hosts. If not all of them could be guaranteed, one demon soul host would become a true immortal, help Chunyangzi return to the top, and bring hundreds of millions of demon souls with him. Ten thousand demons went to Wulong Mountain to seek revenge on him.
Or perhaps, the world in all the worlds that is completely occupied by the demons is turned into a taboo place and a demon nest by the demons, and comes directly to Wulong Mountain...
After thinking about it, Shen Mo decided to start with the Scarlet Flame Sect and the demonic troubles on Wulong Mountain.
Thinking of this, his spiritual light flashed slightly and he appeared in the Evil Punishment Hall.
Within the Red Flame Sect of the Punishment Hall, there is an organization responsible for external conquests and killings. Its powers and duties are similar to those of the Demon Dang Hall and the Guarding Department jointly established by the five immortal sects. The last head of the hall was Yuan Qingshi. After Yuan Qingshi became the head of the Linjiang Sect, Shen Mo pushed Lu Ming to this position when he was succeeded by Yangmao, a peak monk in the Linghai Realm. Later, when Yangmao failed to condense Yuan Dan and died, Shen Mo pushed him to this position.
Following a series of changes such as the integration of the Immortal Cultivation World of the Scarlet Flame Realm into the Scarlet Flame Sect and the arrival of the whole sect in the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, the other peak masters and palace masters either died, or their cultivation levels could not keep up, or they had to go into seclusion to practice hard. There are many adjustments to various high-level positions.
However, Lu Ming's cultivation progressed much faster than the average level of Chiyan monks, and he was quite energetic and able to take care of both his cultivation and secular affairs, so he stayed in this position for three to four hundred years.
In the Scarlet Flame Sect and even the entire Wulong Mountain, any trace of the Heavenly Demon or other demons will be handed over to Lu Ming and other Evil Punishment Hall monks to deal with it!
…
"Sect Master, there is nothing unusual about the host parasitized by Chunyangzi's demon soul!" Lu Ming stood aside with his hands down, facing Shen Mo's inquiry, he replied solemnly.
When Chunyangzi's soul transformed into billions, he specifically "took care" of Wulong Mountain and sent hundreds of thousands of demon souls to Wulong Mountain to parasitize the monks on the mountain.
Later, Shen Mo improved the bone-viewing mirror and found all the demon soul hosts on the mountain.
After extracting the parasitic demon soul from their souls and killing them, Shen Mo also taught them a magical soul-nourishing magic, and would place and monitor the more than 500,000 demon soul hosts.
The task is handed over to the Palace of Punishment!
"Um."
Shen Mo nodded and continued to flip through the files on the demon in his hand.
It didn't take long for him to discover something was wrong among the numerous volumes... Over the years, the number of monks on Wulong Mountain who were infected by the demons and became demon-stained monks was much higher than before.
He paid attention to the time points and found that the day when the Nine Heavens Xuannv was resurrected or the Shinto was integrated into the Immortal Way was a very obvious watershed.
Before that, very few of the immortal cultivators on Wulong Mountain, including foreigners such as Hua Xianzi, were infected by the demons.
After all, the demons that originally occupied the Five Dragons in the early years were almost eliminated in several turmoils.
Only the demon soul host can live in Wulong Mountain like normal creatures without actively exposing itself.
However, the good days of accompanying the demon soul did not last long.
After searching the inside and outside of the improved version of the Bone Observation Mirror, even the host of the demon soul has disappeared on Wulong Mountain. In recent decades, it has been protected by the prototype of the Earth Yuan Jue Array. There are no more original demons, mutated demons and devils in the array. The hiding place of the soul host!
In this case, most of the immortal cultivators infected by the devil have left Wulong Mountain.
Either they are monks from other places who have come from other blessed cultivation places, or they are monks from the Scarlet Flame Sect and its vassal forces who have returned from abroad...
There are quite a few heavenly demons scattered throughout the fairy world. Monks below the spiritual sea realm can be infected by demons if they are not careful. Even monks at the spiritual sea realm and above may concentrate on cultivation, be seriously injured, or be kidnapped by powerful heavenly demons under various circumstances. , will also be infected by the original demon and become a new mutated demon.
However, the immortal cultivators who stay in Wulong Mountain all year round have no way of contacting the heavenly demons, and it is almost impossible for them to be infected by the heavenly demons.
Of course, there are a few extreme cases... For example, a certain magic weapon or elixir that flows into Wulong Mountain from the outside contains a native demon sealed, but the monk who obtained such items does not know it, and happily refines the magic weapon, Only by taking the elixir can you be attacked.
However.
After the changes in the immortal path, many immortal cultivators who did not go out were infected by the original demon and became demon-tainted monks. There were more than 200 cases this year alone.
If a large number of native demons come to Wulong Mountain, the Red Flame Sect, which controls the Earth Yuan Jue Formation, will definitely know about it and send monks from the Punishment Hall to eliminate them.
Therefore, this matter is quite abnormal!
"What are the results of the investigation at the Hall of Punishment? Have you found the specific cause of this anomaly?"
Hearing Shen Mo ask about this matter, Lu Ming showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"At the moment...it's not certain yet."
"I originally suspected that there was a problem with a certain batch of spiritual resources flowing to Wulong Mountain."
"After all, in the past few decades, our sect has successively opened immortal workshops in Yuquan Mountain, Luofu Mountain, Qianlong River, Xuanyuan Mountain and other places. With the establishment of large-scale teleportation arrays, we have cooperated with Taiqing Xuanzong, Nanmo Demon Kingdom and other real The exchanges between the immortal forces are becoming more and more frequent."
"And finished magic weapons, elixirs and talismans are the bulk of the trade, with hundreds of millions of transactions every year. If there is any mistake in any of them, a large number of spirits containing the original demons may flow to Wulong Mountain. "
"It's just... I, the monks of the Law Enforcement Hall, have used many methods to investigate and found that the demon-tainted disciples, the monks from the outer sect, and the powerful foreigners do not seem to have any intersection with each other. The elixirs, talismans, magical weapons, etc. they used also It comes from different sources and nothing weird was found.”
"We have also searched the souls of more than a hundred captured demon monks. In the memory of their souls, the memory of the original owner is still clear, and it has also been verified that the demon is not derived from spiritual objects such as magic weapons. And when you are a native demon, There are only some unclear and broken fragments of their memories, and there is no way of knowing how they came to Wulong Mountain!"
Seeing Shen Mo's face gradually turning ugly, Lu Ming quickly added: "However, during the investigation, I noticed a rather strange phenomenon. These people didn't seem to be in very good condition before being infected by the devil. Some The situation failed, some were hopeless, some relatives and friends died of old age, and some encountered other changes. In other words, they were all
People who have gaps in their Taoism..."
A trace of thought flashed in Shen Mo's eyes, and then he called Lu Ming to go to the Immortal Prison where the Demonic Monk was imprisoned in the Punishment Hall.
He personally cast the soul-searching spell to search for the souls of more than a hundred mutated demons in the Immortal Prison.
The results obtained were not much different from what Lu Ming had said before.
However, Shen Mo is a great monk in the Formless Realm after all. He can spy clearly in many places where the monks of the Punishment Hall can't search. In the deepest memories of these demon-stained monks, he discovered a rather mysterious method. Kung Fu.
This technique is hidden deep in the soul of every Moran monk, and there is no similar technique in the Scarlet Flame Sect's Immortal Arts Building, and it is definitely not obtained by the original owner's previous practice.
"Strange! This technique seems to be..."
Shen Mo sorted out this technique and after some research, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
The next moment, he used the method of Yingwu Appearance, and gathered a Yingwu body outside the Taiqing Xuanzong Mountain Gate. After being informed by the gatekeeper, the Yingwu body successfully entered the Xuanzong Mountain Gate and met Meng Chenyang, the headmaster of Taiqing Xuanzong Mountain. .
"I don't know why Sect Master Shen is here for this visit?" Meng Chenyang received Shen Mo with the same person.
Shen Mo exchanged a few simple greetings with him, and then got straight to the point and explained his purpose of coming, which was to purchase the Immortal Sutra of Immortality.
During the marriage ceremony between Luo Chen, a disciple of Taiqing, and Xuanyuan Luan, the young ancestor of the Xuanyuan family, a group of true immortals held a small trade fair in exchange for the spiritual resources needed by themselves and their disciples!
And what Taiqing Master Meng Chenyang brought out was the Immortal Sutra of Immortality, an immortal-level technique...
This method is not the fundamental inheritance of Xuanzong of the Taiqing Dynasty, but was obtained by Meng Chenyang by chance. He follows the path of the Supreme Being who forgets his emotions. The cultivator will gradually abandon his own desires and emotions, use absolute reason to understand the wonders of the immortal way, and practice to the end He will inevitably become a heartless person.
It can be said that there is no heaven, no earth, no relatives, no teachers, no self, but the pursuit of immortality will last forever!
In addition, practitioners of the "Selfless Immortal Sutra" will practice at an extremely astonishing speed. Even Taiqing disciples with excellent qualifications and holding Taiqing Pearls can hardly catch up. Under normal circumstances, they can become true immortals within a thousand years. .
However, at the moment of becoming an immortal, in order to pursue a higher "Tao" and reach the true state of "selflessness", practitioners of this method will choose to conform to the Tao with their bodies.
Because this technique was too weird and evil, no one bought this technique from Meng Chenyang until the end of the trade fair.
Shen Mo even suspected for a time that this "Selfless Immortal Sutra" was a conspiracy created by the will of the universe. The cultivators' cultivation realm, magical attainments, etc. have made extremely terrifying progress, all thanks to the "favor" of the will of the universe, so that more people can benefit from it. The monks practiced this method and became true immortals. Finally, they combined their bodies with the Tao to repair and strengthen the incomplete immortal Tao!
He came to buy the Immortal Sutra of Anatta, not for spiritual practice.
But after searching the souls of the demon-ran monks, the techniques obtained from the depths of their souls seemed to have the same origin as this evil technique. He wanted to observe and verify it!
"Sect Master Shen came a step too late. Half a year ago, this method was bought by fellow Taoist Wang Hongwang from Xiao Penglai. Meng signed a contract with him and can no longer sell the "Selfless Immortal Sutra" to others." Meng Chenyang said. , he was still a little puzzled. The evil skills that no one usually paid attention to had somehow become popular.
"Wang Hong... Many thanks to Sect Leader Meng for telling me. Shen will come visit me another day!"
With that said, Shen Mo took away his mind and consciousness, and his body instantly became a ball of heaven and earth spiritual energy.
Wang Hong is the descendant of Xiao Penglai of Tianxian Dojo. Although Shen Mo has never dealt with him, he knows that such a number one person exists!
The superior immortals in the True Immortal Realm, while guarding the portals of heaven and earth, will open dojos outside the sky in order to earn merits and practice better in the world of preachers. Some dojos are cave heavens and blessed places. There are true immortals with high Taoism who will open up a small world. Some simply move one of the lower realms directly there.
The master of Xiao Penglai, Patriarch Wuchen, is a heavenly being and was born in Penglai Immortal Continent.
The Celestial Immortal Dojo he opened is a small world, thousands of times more vast than lower realms such as Taichu Realm and Dragon Heart Realm.
Times, even not inferior to the Penglai Immortal Continent in the Immortal Realm, so it is named "Penglai", known as Little Penglai, and can also be called the Penglai Realm!
Wang Hong is the descendant of Patriarch Wuchen. At that time, Fairy Yuquan and other five earthly immortals were "killing demons and slaying demons and earning merit" in Dongjie Continent, and finally killed all the large and small demons like Chunyangzi. Relying on the refining power of the Earth Yuan Jue Formation, it will take a few more years to completely refine the source of the evil spirit that has escaped between heaven and earth. At that time, the merits will be complete and another meritorious deeds will be added to the world.
As a result, Wang Hong was killed halfway. After he came to Dongjie Continent from the outside, he didn't even say hello to Fairy Yuquan and the others. He directly sacrificed the "Nine Heavens Thunder Yuan Divine Water" and turned the divine water into a fire that covered the entire Dongjie Continent. Heavy rain in western Asia.
This nine-day Thunder God Rain lasted for three full months. After the rain stopped, all the evil spirits polluting the world were wiped out, and Fairy Yuquan and others' last deeds of heaven and earth were snatched away by him!
Shen Mo also had a share in this deed of heaven and earth, so there was still some causal connection between him and Wang Hong.
