In these days, many things happened. Apart from the rumors of the destruction of the 'Blood Gu Sect', the most sensational one was the attack on the 'Five Elements Sect' by the 'devil demon' Liu Chuanzong. Several elite disciples in the sect died mysteriously. , when their bodies were discovered, there was no damage on the surface, and their souls disappeared without a trace, as if they were asleep, but the expressions on their faces were extremely distorted, as if they had been horribly frightened and inhumanly tortured before death.
For a time, this incident made people panic. Many disciples of the Five Elements Sect did not even dare to sleep. They replaced sleep with non-stop practice. Several other sects were also affected and had to step up their vigilance.
In fact, for monks below the golden elixir stage, sleep is the best way to restore mental strength. Although cultivators can go without sleep for three to five days, after a long time, they will easily be unable to bear it and need to sleep. way to restore mental strength.
Monks in the Qi-refining stage can generally persist for seven days without sleeping, otherwise they will suffer from physical problems, mental trance, and are more likely to be invaded by evil spirits. Monks in the foundation-building stage can persist longer, and those with strong souls can last for half a month, or even Not sleeping for a month.
Only when one's cultivation reaches the golden elixir stage, one can continuously replenish one's mental power during the cultivation process and completely replace sleep with cultivation.
This problem is relatively simple for Su Poman. He has a superhuman body. By basking in the sun during the day, he can always keep his mental and physical strength at peak state. He does not need to sleep at all, so he feels that he is relatively safe. , but the same cannot be said for other monks in the sect. Many of them were so frightened that they could not sleep at night, and even showed signs of going crazy.
Ever since the incident in the Five Elements Sect happened, Su Poman had not fallen asleep and stayed awake all the time. He practiced the 'Fire Sun Technique' during the day and the 'Mountain Moving Technique' at night, but he did not feel too anxious about it.
However, there are new rumors in Xiuxian Jiefang City in South Vietnam. The 'Demon Demon' Liu Chuanzong actually has weird hypnosis methods. He can cast spells from a distance to hypnotize people to sleep, and then use the weird magical power of the 'Dream Eater' to devour people. Soul, for several days in a row, several people from the Five Elements Sect died in their own cave, including even two elders in the foundation building stage.
After this incident happened, all the elders of the Five Elements Sect felt threatened and came out of seclusion one after another. They gathered with many disciples in the Yueluo Hall to look after each other and prevent anyone around them from being attacked and falling into sleep. In addition, Several Supreme Elders in the sect also used their methods to obtain a 'Yin-Yang Soul Suppressing Talisman' from the Sect and integrated it into the mountain-protecting formation, and spent a huge price to awaken the mountain-protecting beasts in the ancestral land. ——Tiantian three-eyed clam.
The Sky-Swallowing Three-Eyed Clam is an ancient alien species, born with a third vertical eye. It possesses the miraculous effect of seizing souls. It was a protective spiritual beast raised by a Supreme Elder thousands of years ago. Later, after he passed away, he ordered This beast occupies the ancestral land and gradually becomes one of the foundations of the Five Elements Sect.
Later, as time went by, the beast's cultivation became more and more sophisticated. It actually survived the tribulation and reached the Nascent Soul stage during a thunderstorm one night. However, due to insufficient preparation before the tribulation, it suffered several severe injuries during the thunderstorm. He was seriously injured and had to fall asleep to recover from his injuries.
Now that the Five Elements Sect has awakened the mountain-protecting beasts from the Nascent Soul stage to take over, and coupled with the miraculous effect of the 'Yin Yang Soul Suppressing Talisman', the Five Elements Sect monks have some confidence to fight against the evil cultivators.
In the deep, deserted and humid valley, a strange old man in his fifties, wearing a bamboo hat and an ugly face, sat on a boulder. His whole body was shrouded in blue-gray smoke. There was a red vertical line between his eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with water. With a chaotic lime color, the circles of lotus patterns seem to be constantly rotating.
Suddenly, blue-gray smoke rippled—
Quack, quack…
A crow full of rancid smell flew over and landed on his shoulder. He blinked twice, and his eyes turned out to be a turbid lime-like color, with faint lotus patterns looming.
"Ho ho ho, we've only lost two Foundation Establishment monks and we're already in a hurry. The Five Elements Sect is really a good trick. It's worthy of being one of the lower sects of the Yin Yang Sect. If I had known I should have harvested the souls of a few more Foundation Establishment monks. Look. Now I can only temporarily shift my target to those group of casual cultivators with extremely bad taste. As for the other sects, when the guardians find my location, I will visit them one by one..."
Liu Chuanzong's face was filled with a ferocious and evil look, and his eyes had completely lost all human emotions, as if he were really a monster. He opened his mouth and licked his upper lip with his long tongue. His yellow teeth were covered with saliva, and he looked like a demon. The consciousness swept out and stared at the city of casual cultivators farthest away from here. "Although the souls of those casual cultivators are unpalatable, in order to seize the time to break through the cultivation level, I can only endure it for a while, but the Immortal Cultivation Alliance sent The patrolling guards are really useless. They have been unable to catch up for so long. As long as I practice for a while, I will be able to condense the evil infant. By then, even the patrolling guards will not be able to catch me. The world is big and I can catch it. , in comparison, I still prefer the spirit of the monks from the sect, Jie Jie Jie..."
Standing up, his figure disappeared instantly, leaving only a trace of blue-gray smoke. The breeze blew, and this smoke quickly dissipated between the sky and the earth.
A few more days passed, and the situation in the Five Elements Sect was still calm. Even if some people couldn't help but take a nap, there was no situation where their souls were swallowed up. This made the monks very excited. After a few days, they all resumed their normal routines and routines. Practice.
Outside of the Five Elements Sect, in Xiuxianfang City, bad news has been coming one after another in the past few days. It seems that the demon demon has changed its target and started to attack the casual cultivators in the large and small cities in Nanling Continent. There are even many small markets. It turned into a ghost market overnight, and the casual cultivators there turned into cold corpses.
Fear and panic continue to spread in the immortal world of Nanlingzhou. As more and more casual cultivators die, many casual cultivators have lost their courage and directly abandoned their foundations and fled. Those who want to stay away from this terrible disaster In the whirlpool, some smart people chose to come outside the Five Elements Sect’s mountain gate to pray for protection.
…
In the wind and rain pavilion.
Sitting in front of the chess table was an old man wearing a Nanhua scarf, with white beard and hair, and skin like a baby. He gently dropped the black chess in his hand, and then murmured: "Little guy from the Corpse Yin Sect, isn't it enough now? ? The South Vietnam Kingdom is already in chaos. Once Liu Chuanzong becomes the leader, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for me to deal with it either..."
Opposite the chessboard sat a young man in black robe with a pale face, no eyebrows or beard, and reddish eyes. Behind him was a coffin as black as ink. He didn't hesitate at all after the white-haired old man made his move. He dropped the white piece in his hand heavily on the chessboard.
