Cheng Ling listened to him quietly and then asked, "After you left, did you know that this mountain range in the Demon Blood Continent is Xuan Chong Mountain?"
Eunuch Hai shook his head and said: "At first, I didn't know. I just wanted to leave there and find Xiaobai's whereabouts. But halfway, I met someone who changed my mind."
"who is it?"
"Evil wind!"
"Half-demon Xie Feng? What deal do you have with him?"
"To be precise, it's not a transaction, but a cooperation. At that time, I was promoted to Demon Commander, and the demonic energy there could no longer have any effect on me, so I planned to leave. After walking for three days, I came to a hidden valley."
"Originally, I didn't plan to go in, but there seemed to be a sound coming from the valley. Out of curiosity, I walked in. Searching along the direction of the sound, I finally saw a large cave. Who knew I When I walked in and took a look, I was shocked by what I saw.”
"In the cave, there are many cages made of fine steel. Inside the cages, some contain humans, some are monsters, and some have humans and monsters imprisoned together. But no matter they are humans or monsters, they look different. unusual."
"In other words, none of them can be regarded as completely human beings and monster beasts. Some of them have human bodies and monster beast heads; some are covered in flesh and blood, with monster beast scales everywhere, but they are human bodies; like this Creature, I’ve never seen it before.”
"And those creatures seemed to have lost their minds. When they saw me coming in, they all started going crazy and rushed over. But they were all trapped in the cage and couldn't leave!"
"Just when I was shocked who had set up such a scene, I felt a murderous intention coming from behind me! I ducked and saw a strange young man, waving his claws and attacking me."
"His strength is very strong. I dare not slack off and can only exert my full strength. But as soon as I exploded, the young man's face changed. He looked at me in shock and asked: Who are you? You can ignore the Demon Blood Continent. The way of heaven, breaking through to the Demon Commander?"
"I saw that he was sneaking up behind him for no reason, so naturally I didn't give him a good look. I just said calmly: It doesn't matter who I am, but I want to know whether these cages are your work!"
"The man's face darkened and he said: Fellow Taoist, don't ask if you shouldn't know. I'm just curious, when did a person like you appear in the Xuan Chong Mountains."
"Xuan Chong Mountains? What is this place?"
"The man was even more surprised and asked: You don't know that the Xuan Chong Mountain Range is not a monster from the Demon Blood Continent?"
"No, I was brought here by accident!"
"The man's expression changed, he looked at me in disbelief, and said: It's really amazing that there are foreign monsters that can break through the ban, break through the shackles of heaven, and rise to the realm of the demon commander. Fellow Taoist, I am evil. Feng, it was a misunderstanding before, let’s put it aside for now, how about we go somewhere to have a chat?”
"I thought at the time that although the other party was strong, he was not my opponent, not to mention the unfamiliar place. Being able to meet such a strong person might be of great help in finding Xiaobai. So, I met with him We left the cave and found another place to talk."
"From his words, I learned that this is the Demon Blood Continent, and the current location is the Xuan Chong Mountains. His name is Xie Feng, and he is actually half-demon."
"He was very curious about my cultivation and kept making insinuations. I couldn't tell him casually. I just said that I didn't know. By chance, I broke through to the realm of Demon Commander. I also asked him about the Demonic Blood Forbidden Land, and finally found out. Specific location."
"But according to what he said, there are formations everywhere in the Demonic Blood Forbidden Land, as well as strong demonic energy. Ordinary people
Neither humans nor monsters dare to approach. I'm not afraid of demonic energy, but there's nothing I can do about the formation. I know almost nothing about it. "
"When I was worried about this, he said: Fellow Taoist Zidian, do you know the theory of thousand-year reincarnation?"
"My heart skipped a beat. I had heard this sentence from a mysterious person before, so I couldn't help but not pay attention to it. So I said: I have heard it, but I don't know what it specifically refers to."
"He told me that the Thousand Years of Reincarnation refers to the Demon Blood Continent. Every thousand years, a large number of high-end monks and monsters disappear inexplicably. No one knows where they went, and only some low-end monks are left. But... After a long time, many strange monks and monsters will suddenly appear, maintaining the number of creatures on the continent!"
"And he also told me that with our cultivation and his, we must be among the monks who disappeared. I suddenly panicked. If it hadn't been for what the mysterious man said, I might not have taken it to heart, but now I heard what he said. Said, this kind of thing is very likely to happen.”
"At least in these islands, the mysterious man seems to know a lot. He can come and go at will, and once the ban is broken, he can know in time."
"I asked him if there was any way to save him. He told me that the only way was to leave this continent, but this continent is very vast. He spent hundreds of years looking everywhere but could not find a way to leave. , the only place that has not been searched is the Demonic Blood Forbidden Land."
"I immediately understood what he meant and asked: Do you want me to enter the Demonic Blood Forbidden Land?"
"He said: Taoist friends who can break the shackles of heaven and break through to the Demon Commander must have extraordinary human means. If anyone can crack the secret of the Demon Blood Continent, it is you."
"But I know that's not the case at all. There are so many formations in the forbidden area, how can I get through. But according to what he said, there are only more than twenty years left in the thousand-year reincarnation, so I started to hesitate."
"When he saw my move, he continued to advocate, saying that what he was studying was a way to enhance his own power. Bringing together the advantages of the human race and the demon race, let them breed a half-demon race with extremely strong talents, so as to crack the forbidden land formation. plays a vital role.”
"It's just a pity that although the half-demon cultivated in this way is indeed better than any human race or demon race, it lacks sanity and its help is greatly reduced."
"I was also interested in him for a while, so I returned to the cave where I saw the cage before, wanting to see the strength of those half-demon again."
"After arriving in the cave, I was shocked by the strength they showed. Indeed, those half-demon were superior in terms of speed, defense, and attack, but they lacked human sanity and could not control it at all. I was also intoxicated for a while, My mind started thinking about solutions.”
"At this moment, some information suddenly popped up in my mind. The information taught people how to refine a puppet. This kind of puppet is very powerful and requires living creatures, and then uses the demonic energy to penetrate into their brains, so that Only then can it be refined into shape.”
"And after these puppets are successfully refined, they can possess a certain degree of intelligence and can be controlled by others. They can also improve their cultivation by absorbing demonic energy, gradually develop spiritual intelligence, and become living beings with independent consciousness."
Cheng Ling was shocked and asked: "What kind of information? It has such a heaven-defying effect. Could it be said that through practice, those puppets can reach a level comparable to humans?"
Eunuch Hai smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, according to the information, it is indeed the case. However, to upgrade to that state, the resources and time required are astronomical. It is absolutely impossible to achieve without a thousand years."
Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief, this was okay. It would be terrible if such a puppet could produce human thoughts! Will it be like on earth?
The kind of worry that robots will eventually replace humans and rule the world.
He thought about it for a long time and felt that this kind of thing should never happen, but he couldn't let go of his worry. After pondering for a long time, he saw Eunuch Hai standing aside and said no more, "What happened next? You helped Xie Feng control those half-demon?"
"Yes, in order to avoid the thousand-year reincarnation and leave the Demon Blood Continent, I decided to pass on this information to him with reservations. After Xie Feng heard this, he was very happy. After several experiments, he really got the hang of it. Part of it The half-demon begins to develop some consciousness and can be controlled by it."
"At this time, he said: Fellow Taoist Zidian, although you have the help of these half-demon, if you want to break through the Demonic Blood Forbidden Land, you still need the help of other fellow Taoists. I advise you to have a showdown with them. With your identity, tell them the truth!”
"I thought about it for a long time, and I thought his method was good. But I didn't believe everything he said. After all, this world needs to be explored by myself. Therefore, I spent several years traveling all over the Demon Blood Mainland. In the end, it was discovered that, as he said, perhaps the Demonic Blood Forbidden Land is the only chance to leave."
"Originally, the mysterious man took us to the Xuan Chong Mountains, and we could have thought there was a chance to leave there. But I know that with the outbreak of demonic energy in the Xuan Chong Mountains, the entrance and exit may have been destroyed, and the only thing left is the demon. Blood forbidden land.”
"What's more, the mysterious man also said that he would go to the Demon Blood Forbidden Land. If he wanted to find traces of Xiao Bai, he would also go to the Demon Blood Forbidden Land. For this reason, I finally decided to go to the Demon Blood Forbidden Land!"
"It's just that the formations in the forbidden area are densely packed, so I'm really not sure. So I discussed with Xie Feng. On the one hand, I'm looking for treasures to break the formation. On the other hand, I'm contacting the strong people on the Demon Blood Continent. If we work together, we might be able to get a chance of survival. "
"I taught Xie Feng how to refine puppets, and Xie Feng promised that he would take my lead to help crack the formation in the Demonic Blood Forbidden Land and leave together. This is my cooperation with him."
"It's just that later, I sensed the master, and I was afraid, but I didn't want to be controlled by others. Therefore, Cai Gui was obsessed with it and sent Xie Feng and others to capture him. I hope the master can forgive me!"
Cheng Ling snorted coldly and said, "Excuse me, I wish I could slap you to death. If you hadn't just ordered them to capture you instead of killing you, you would have been wiped out."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's the old slave's fault, it's the old slave's fault!"
Hai Gonggong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. When Cheng Ling saw this, most of the anger in his heart disappeared. After thinking for a long time, he asked again: "You have made the previous things clear. There is one more thing. You must answer truthfully."
"Yes, please give me your instructions, Master."
"After you were promoted to Demon Commander, did you feel anything special?"
Eunuch Hai's face darkened and he said, "There is something really strange about what the master said."
"Be specific!"
"Yes! First of all, after I was promoted to Demon Commander, I became very sensitive to demonic energy, but no matter how much I absorbed it, my cultivation could not go any further. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but in recent years, I felt that in my body, His true essence seems to be gradually eroded by the demonic energy, and the proportion occupied by the demonic energy gradually increases."
"Another point is that I can also absorb the demonic energy from others and transform it into true essence. For this reason, I specially looked inside myself and found that after the true essence was transformed, it was combined with the original true essence, and the proportion of demonic energy occupied was even greater. It’s so big that even the soul can feel the slightest trace of evil energy entangling it.”
Cheng Ling's heart was shocked and he quickly began to look inside himself. The powerful soul and mental power finally worked, and his sword essence was indeed not as pure as before. Not only that, the soul in his mind felt a little sad, as if there was a black thread tightly wrapped around it.
