"Senior Brother Qingyun is really cruel. The last time I saw you was twenty years ago..."
Hong Gu has a sad look on her face, and with the blessing of her charming spirit body, even a true fairy can't help but feel affection in her heart.
Lu Ming, who had used his lightning technique to fly away, stumbled out of the lightning. He quickly gathered his breath and concentrated as if he hadn't heard anything, and stood behind Shen Mo with his hands down, not daring to make a sound.
"I've been busy with cultivation and sect affairs recently, so I really don't have time to spare!"
Shen Mo didn't want to get into more trouble with Hong Gu on this matter, so he pointed at the Dan Sect disciple in the medicine garden and asked, "Do you recognize this person? Has anything happened to him recently?"
It is impossible for Honggu to know all the disciples, but there are not many monks at the Linghai realm and above in the Lishan Dan Sect. In addition, those who have reached the Linghai realm have a life span of 500 years. She has met them more or less a few times. So she recognized the Dan Sect disciples who were working in the medicine garden at a glance.
In order to ensure that there were no errors or omissions in the answers she gave, she also took out the summons treasure box and asked someone for questioning.
At this moment, the aura of this Dan Sect disciple changed significantly, and a gloomy aura flashed across his face, but he soon returned to his normal look.
Shen Mo's eyes were full of color, but his magical eyes could see clearly the series of changes that had happened to this human's body and soul...
Just now, this person was already haunted by inner demons, and a trace of demonic origin was born in his body, soul, and even spiritual power. Then, as they were talking, this trace of demonic origin was like a seed sprouting and growing into a towering tree. Contaminate the essence of his spirit.
Quietly, this person has been infected by the devil and turned into a mutated devil. However, there is no trace of the original devil around, and even the evil spirit is not strong!
"This is……"
Honggu also noticed something was wrong and her expression changed slightly.
Only then did she understand why Shen Mo, as a great monk in the Formless Realm and the Lord of Wulong Mountain, paid attention to an unknown monk in the Spiritual Sea Realm!
Immediately, she informed Shen Mo and Shen Mo in detail about this person's identity and life.
This disciple of the Dan Sect who became a mutated demon was named Wang Mingzhi. He had a late-stage cultivation in the Linghai Realm and was the elder of the Lishan Dan Sect’s Lingzhi Hall.
After the Lishan Dan Sect moved to Wulong Mountain, he was ordered to lead a group of low-level disciples to open up thousands of acres of medicinal gardens here. Over the years, he worked diligently and cultivated a large number of basic elixirs for the Dan Sect.
His cultivation career was unremarkable. Like most monks, he struggled to earn cultivation resources and transformed the resources into his own cultivation. However, he was a monk who ascended from the Taichu Realm along with the Forbidden Land. He now has four hundred He is over sixty years old. Due to the loss of origin in his previous cultivation career, his life span is less than ten years.
In order to break through this shackles and reach the peak of Linghai in one go so as to have the opportunity to condense Yuan Dan, just a year ago, Wang Mingzhi spent all his wealth and accumulated all the medicinal materials to refine two furnaces of Bihai Lingxi Dan.
Bihai Lingxi Pill is a sixth-grade elixir. Before the Lishan Dan Sect entered the immortal world, it was one of the best realm-breaking elixirs in the Dan Sect. At that time, even Hong Gu, the daughter of the sect leader Duan Muyuan, only had three... If If he can successfully refine this elixir, it should not be difficult for Wang Mingzhi to break through to the late stage of the spiritual sea realm. As for condensing the Yuan elixir, there is also a slight chance.
Although Wang Mingzhi is a monk of the Alchemy Sect, his own attainments in Alchemy are only of the third level. He begged everywhere for help, and finally got acquainted with a fifth-level alchemist in the Lishan Alchemy Sect, and agreed to refine the Blue Sea Lingxi Pill for him!
However, whether it was Wang Mingzhi's bad luck or the fifth-grade alchemist who had tampered with something, the two furnaces of the Blue Sea Lingxi Pill were only able to produce two pills, one of which was a defective product, and only one of which reached medium quality. Has normal medicinal effects.
He took these two elixirs one after another, but the result was naturally a failure. Not to mention raising his cultivation level enough to attack the Yuan Dan, he even failed to break through to the late stage of the Linghai realm.
But Wang Mingzhi did not give up and borrowed money from his friends.
But because he didn't have much life left, the chance of achieving the Yuan Dan was extremely slim, so he borrowed all the precious elixirs from all the sects to refine another batch of elixirs!
"The fifth-grade alchemist who refined the Blue Sea Lingxi Pill for Wang Mingzhi has been in this situation for a long time.
, has many experiences of successfully refining sixth-grade elixirs. The two spiritual materials were only refined into one low-grade elixir and one medium-grade elixir, which was obviously a little weird! Hong Gu's eyebrows were raised slightly, and a hint of evil flashed in her eyes.
"No wonder this person lost his Taoist heart and gave birth to inner demons." Shen Mo sighed in his heart.
Even in today's Scarlet Flame Sect, similar things happen from time to time...
Some disciples worked hard to collect the raw materials and asked their more advanced colleagues in the Alchemy and Talisman Array to help them refine the finished elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans.
As a result, the latter secretly acted secretly, either withholding the spiritual materials, or substituting them as inferior ones, which resulted in the final refining failure, or the resulting elixir weapon was unsatisfactory!
As long as greed still exists in people's hearts, this kind of thing cannot be completely banned.
All Shen Mo can do is to ask the Law Enforcement Hall to strictly enforce the rules and severely punish the Chiyan sect members who commit such evil acts.
Lu Ming, who was waiting by the side, looked calm. Anyway, similar matters within the Scarlet Flame Sect were handled by the Law Enforcement Hall and were not within the authority of the Evil Punishment Hall. What he was more concerned about was Wang Mingzhi below who became a mutated demon "for no reason"!
…
At this time, Wang Mingzhi was a complete devil from his soul to his body, but he hid it very well, and not a trace of evil spirit escaped from his body!
He looked at the disciples of the Alchemy Sect who were still working in the medicine garden, licked his tongue hungrily, and finally restrained his desire to swallow blood. After saying hello to the disciples beside him, he went straight back to the hotel not far away. He entered the cave abode, and then opened all formation restrictions, preparing to practice in seclusion.
The moment Wang Mingzhi closed the cave and opened the formation, Shen Mo's spiritual light flashed slightly, and he appeared in his cave with Hong Gu and Lu Ming.
The three of them stood quietly beside him, but with Wang Mingzhi's cultivation level, they couldn't notice anything strange at all!
Soon, Wang Mingzhi started to operate his skills, inhaling and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like a normal immortal cultivator. Except for a wisp of demonic energy leaking out of his body at the beginning, as he practiced the skills from obscure to familiar, there was no trace of them anymore. Demonic energy surged.
Only the waves of mysterious energy are flowing and the efficiency of refining spiritual energy is astonishingly high, which shows that his cultivation method is far from ordinary methods!
Shen Mo and the others watched him practice like this for several days.
On the fifth day, Wang Mingzhi's cultivation bottleneck, which had been stagnant for many years, had a breakthrough, as if the shackles were gone. His cultivation level was directly promoted to the peak of the spiritual sea realm. At the moment of breaking through, there was a trace of evil spirit that could not be concealed. Live, there was a surge in the cave, and he quickly restrained it all!
After the initial shock, the expressions on Hong Gu and Lu Ming's faces became more solemn.
Shen Mo's finger seemed to burst a layer of floating foam, and the three figures appeared in front of Wang Mingzhi.
"The Supreme Elder, Sect Master Shen..."
Wang Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted in just a moment. The demonic light and evil energy surged around his body, and he rolled a flying sword and slashed at the three of them, while he himself used Escape Light to escape from the cave.
Shen Mo stretched out two fingers, caught the flying sword, threw it aside, and said calmly: "Junior sister Duanmu, Wang Mingzhi is a monk of your Lishan Dan Sect. Now he has been infected by the demon and turned into a mutated demon. I'll leave it to you!"
"Um!"
Hong Gu responded, and the exquisite bracelet engraved with gold and different colors on her wrist emitted a gleam of light, instantly wrapping Wang Mingzhi, who was trying to escape, into a piece of colorful amber, making it impossible for his magic power and consciousness to flow.
Even after practicing the "Selfless Immortal Sutra", Wang Mingzhi is still just a third-level peak demon. He has no resistance at all in front of Honggu, a great monk in the Shenqiao realm, and was suppressed in just the blink of an eye!
"Senior Brother Qingyun, what on earth is going on?"
After suppressing Wang Mingzhi, Honggu finally couldn't help but ask. Lu Ming on the side was also full of confusion.
Shen Mo sorted out his thoughts, condensed what he had learned into a wisp of spiritual thought, engraved it on a jade slip and gave it to the two of them for inspection!
…
Since the resurrection of Xuannv and the changes in the immortal world, the birth method of the demon has fundamentally changed!
Even in the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, Heavenly Demons are extremely special.
They are a special race. They are not native creatures that spontaneously evolved in the Xuanhuang Universe. In the ancient times, there were no races similar to the demons in all the heavens and worlds, including the fairy world.
It is generally accepted among the true immortal figures that the original demon was probably derived from a remnant of the old era who was extremely virtuous. No one knows his true name, so he is called the ancestor of the demon!
The ancestor of the Heavenly Demon has also survived the tribulation of the Era. He is a terrifying existence that has been alive since before the birth of the immortal world. He exploited the loopholes of the immortal world with unpredictable means and used his own original power to create the Heavenly Demon clan.
Before the changes in the Immortal Way, the original Heavenly Demon was born in the void. To be more precise, it evolved from the heaven and earth of the Demon Realm.
Such as the Heavenly Demon Realm, such as the Demon Nest brought to the west of Dongjie Continent by Chunyangzi, everything in the similar Demonic Realm is contaminated by the origin of the Heavenly Demon. Everything in the world, such as rocks, trees, spiritual energy, mineral deposits, sea water, etc., can breed low-level creatures. The original demon, as long as the origin of the demon contained in the demon nest in the demon realm is not completely wiped out, demon children and grandchildren will be born continuously!
The newly born original demon, whether it is through cultivation or eating blood to strengthen itself, can only raise its own realm to the second level peak. Only after the demon taints other creatures and becomes mutated demons can it break through this state... This should be the will of the universe. , the shackles imposed on the Demon Clan.
By contaminating other creatures with demons, the number of mutated demons can be increased at an extremely terrifying speed;
By devouring blood food to strengthen themselves, these mutated demons can grow at an unimaginable rate, sweeping everything away in a short period of time!
What's even more amazing is that after the original demons and mutated demons are killed, the origin of the demons will also escape, which has extremely strong pollution properties. It will pollute everything nearby just like the magical power of demons pollutes the living soul body, until the normal The world has turned into a demonic realm. If it is not cleaned up in time, countless original demons will be born again.
It is like the poison of abscesses and the cause of pollution. It can be said that it is endless and cannot be stopped!
It's just that this way of birth seems to have undergone tremendous changes after the life change of "the resurrection of the Mysterious Lady from the Nine Heavens and the integration of Shinto into Immortal Dao"...
According to Shen Mo's investigation, the demon seems to have been born directly from the inner demons of the immortal cultivators, and the category of immortal cultivators includes human monks and other immortal beings besides the demon!
Originally, inner demons were just an abstract concept to describe flaws in the Taoist heart of immortal cultivators. Inner demons are invisible and insubstantial. The situations encountered by immortal cultivators when giving birth to inner demons also exist in different forms. Even if they cannot get through it, the most serious ones are not. When the body dies and the Tao disappears, a devil-like demon general will not be created out of thin air.
But now, once the inner demons cannot be overcome, the inner demons will materialize.
A ray of heavenly demon origin was created from its spiritual origin, and then the demon cultivator was dyed into a mutated heavenly demon!
In addition, the new type of heavenly demon born in this way also has immortal-level skills that have the same origin as the "Immortal Sutra" deep in the soul. With a little practice, it can suppress the bloodthirsty instinct, making it even more treacherous. It is difficult to detect and prevent.
Shen Mo's Qingyun Cave Heaven has not yet given birth to a new type of demon. He speculates that it is related to the aura of heaven and earth.
Whether it is the fairy world, the ordinary world or the secret world, they basically contain a part of the turbid and evil spirit. The evil spirit that contains the origin of the demon is also one of them. Immortal cultivators in the world will be exposed to such evil spirit to some extent. Perhaps this is why It is the source of the inner demons of immortal cultivators that materialize into heavenly demons;
As for Shen Mo's Cave Heaven, even though there are many mutated demons in the Demon Realm that will pollute the aura of heaven and earth in the Demon Realm, as a Cave Heaven Paradise that he personally opened up, it is equivalent to a world independent of the Xuanhuang Universe. It is influenced by his own Dao, The influence of will can exclude a large amount of turbid and evil spirits.
Generally speaking, the demonic energy contained in the aura of heaven and earth in the cave is very small. Therefore, even if the creatures in the cave give birth to inner demons, they will not create a new type of demon general from the source of essence and spirit!
The change in the way the demon was born... is just superficial, the deeper reason is the change in the avenue.
Shen Mo had reason to suspect that all of this was the work of the ancestor of the demon.
As far as he knows.
No matter he is a powerful immortal or a remnant of the past, as long as he enters the realm of Daluo Jinxian, he will
It will turn into an existence similar to the incarnation of the Great Dao, and it will not be easily manifested in the world.
In his own era, this ancestor of the demon may have attained the supreme sainthood of Daluo. However, as the old era fell and the great road died, he also fell out of the Daluo realm, and thus became the same as other old people. The rest of them turned to the path of immortality.
There are various signs that the ancestor of the demon has not yet entered the Daluo realm again...
However, the demons born from the inner demons of self-cultivated immortals and carrying the Immortal Sutra of Immortality will eventually reach the seventh level and use their bodies to adapt to the Tao, constantly "repairing", "polluting" and "changing" the immortal way.
This is very likely to be the way for the ancestor of the Demon to become Da Luo.
The original demon tainted all living beings in the world through demons, filling the Xuanhuang universe with demonic energy, as if laying the foundation for the present, the first half of his path.
But now, he seems to have voluntarily given up on the past way of contaminating all the worlds and all living beings with demons, and is preparing to integrate the new way of demons into the immortal way... so that the demon clan, from beings rejected by the will of the universe, has become a part of the destiny of the immortal way. .
Once successful, the ancestor of the demon will be able to control the inner demons of all immortal cultivators in the universe, and at the same time, he can naturally enter the realm of Da Luo Jinxian!
