Volume 4, Chapter 402: Unrest in the Southeast (Part 2)
(This battlefield in the human world is designed to be very large and interspersed with many battles and forces from other planes, so it is impossible to describe one place all the time, even the protagonist’s battles are interspersed in it. This is why the writing style of Like a Dragon may make some people who like single I’ll forgive you if you’re not used to watching the main character. Also, thank you to “qaz100” for your monthly vote.)

Cangmang Mountain is a huge mountain range connecting Shu and the five southern states. It spans thousands of miles and tens of thousands of miles in radius. It is one of the few large mountains in China. It is also called the Cangmang Mountains. The vast area is covered with mountains, forests, hills, basins, rivers, lakes, and plains, and contains almost all inland terrain and numerous creatures. It also contains many large and small spiritual points, spiritual veins, abundant spiritual energy, countless natural materials and earthly treasures. Since ancient times, it has been a place where wild beasts roam and where fairies and demons come and go.
It stands to reason that such a treasure land must be captured by ambitious forces no matter what. As long as it is swallowed and digested completely, the rich resources contained in the vast mountains will surely greatly enhance its own strength and dominate the world. But the success is also Xiao He, Xiao He is Xiao He. Because the area of the Cangwu Mountains is too vast and connects several states, it is impossible for one sect to take care of it, even the top sects cannot. Moreover, there are more than a dozen cultivation sects of various sizes inside Cangmang Mountain, as well as countless monster beasts that evolve after absorbing the spiritual energy of the world. These local forces in Cangmang Mountain are very resistant to the invasion of external forces. Coupled with the infiltration of various external sects, the secret support of the demon clan of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, and even the shortcomings of the overall environment of China, Cangmang has never been substantively unified.
Although there were once geniuses and unparalleled overlords who could temporarily subdue different voices to unify Cangmang Mountain in name, they were unable to completely control it. There were always many forces provoking and infiltrating overtly and secretly, so that in the end a lot of energy was wasted but it was a thankless result. Had to give up. Because the resources of Cangmang Mountain are too abundant, any sect and force that can completely swallow them will greatly increase the sect's power and pose a threat to other sects. This threat cannot be avoided not to mention enemies and even allies. Therefore, once a certain force attempts to unify Cangmang Mountain, it will be resisted by many forces with tacit understanding. Therefore, neither secular dynasties nor famous sects can swallow Cangmang Mountain in one go. After all, no one except the madman wants to go against the whole world.
Later, after countless divisions and losses, the cultivation world finally made a series of distributions to Cangmang Mountain. According to the location of the sect, you can choose a piece of land that is close to the sect. As for the size and wealth of the site, it will be allocated based on the strength and reputation of the sect. Naturally, there will be some battles and compromises. But after all, we are all from decent families and are allies in name, so even though each other is slobbering inside, we can still negotiate patiently so that the popularity will not be too ugly.
Therefore, after long negotiations three hundred years ago, the Cangmang Mountains were divided into hundreds of large and small territories for each sect to occupy. . There are also some areas, such as canyons and tunnels, deep mountains and swamps, and poisonous ponds and evil waters, which are not visited by anyone because they have poor spiritual energy and few living creatures; or because poisons are rampant and natural materials and earthly treasures do not exist, but they are treasures for those evil sects. But it cannot be given up for being owned by these righteous sects. However, despite this, because of the rich resources of the Cangwu Mountains, all the sects assigned to the territory have made great progress since that distribution. Today, as long as they don't encounter strong enemies and are destroyed or decline due to civil strife, they have grown into large and medium-sized sects. It can be said that the great development of Cangwu Mountain eight hundred years ago established the current pattern of the world of cultivation.
However, because they have already occupied the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the Demonic Way are absolutely not allowed to participate in the distribution. Although the righteous sects are at odds with each other, they are still consistent in this direction, so they have made great efforts. After paying a price, the forces of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the Demonic Dao were finally driven out of the Cangwu Mountains. It can be said that nearly 90% of the losses of various sects were lost in the battles with the Demon Dao and the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance; the remaining 10% were caused by "accidents" and "accidental injuries". Of course, the high-level officials of various prestigious families are also "reasonable" and "open-minded" and naturally will not "get angry" or "take their anger out on others" over these casualties, so they all maintain a "harmonious" relationship. And they all unanimously attributed these losses to the "conspiracy" of the demons and demons, and intensified their raids on the demons in the vast mountains.
However, the power of the devil in the vast mountains will not be cut off. Even if the entire army is temporarily wiped out, they will find ways to insert themselves in the future. After all, no one can give up such a big piece of fat, let alone a demonic cultivator who advocates obeying the inner greed and desire, which is much stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, after entering the Cangwu Mountains, you can also find out the information of the righteous factions and wait for opportunities to cause damage, so you can't give up.
After all, it is impossible for the Cangmang Mountains to be so large that the righteous sects can all demarcate the surrounding areas as defense zones. The masters sent by the demonic sects only need to be cautious and still be able to enter the Cangmang Mountains. As long as you enter the Cangwu Mountains, a mountain range with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, there will always be a place to hide. For example, those places that have been abandoned by the righteous sects are precious places for the devil and are easy to hide and practice.
The same is true for the demon clan. And compared to demonic cultivators, it is easier for demonic cultivators to hide their identities. Because there are countless beasts and monsters in the vast mountains, they can easily sneak in as long as they disguise themselves, restrain their aura and transform into their original form. Because the auras of the demon clan are very similar to those of monsters and beasts. As long as the auras are kept consistent, no one can tell them apart unless they are masters in the late stages of divine transformation and masters of returning to the void, or they have magic weapons similar to the "demon mirror". They can be found everywhere in the Cangwu Mountain. The beast is not a demon. And precisely because of this "mass base", the tentacles of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance have penetrated into the inside and outside of the Cangwu Mountains.
However, even though there are many forces and a mixture of fish and dragons in the Cangwu Mountains, the rich resources are also exploited in disguise. Every year, tons of precious mineral deposits, spiritual stones and jade mines, alchemy materials, monster materials and other items are shipped out from the Cangwu Mountains. Part of it was sent to the warehouses of various sects for use by the disciples; part of it was transported to a market jointly opened by several sects in the eastern part of the Cangmang Mountains. Through transactions, a large amount of materials and supplies can be exchanged for these sects every day. The elixir also further enhanced the strength of these sects.

"What's going on here? Isn't it said that 'Wanshanguixu' has been attacked by an army of monsters and is in danger? Why are there so many monsters ambushing here? Could it be that you, the messenger, are a traitor of the monsters and you are passing us false news?" "?" A white-bearded old Taoist priest wearing Tai Chi robe grabbed the neck of a young cultivator and yelled angrily in the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram formation. Judging from his angry and red face, I am afraid that if this young cultivator says something wrong, he will be strangled to death. There were also many cultivators gathered around the old Taoist priest, but none of them opened their mouths to dissuade him. They all looked at the young cultivator with cold expressions on their faces.
The young cultivator was so suffocated that he almost couldn't breathe. His face turned red and he couldn't speak. He didn't dare to use spells to attack the old Taoist priest. He just kept breaking the hand blocking his neck with his hands.
Seeing the young cultivator's painful look, the old Taoist priest's anger subsided for a moment. He pushed the young cultivator away and said coldly: "You don't seem to have the guts to betray us humans. I'll give you a chance to explain the matter clearly to me." I can spare your life. If there is even half a lie, I will die in real fire!" After saying that, a pair of deep eyes behind his hands stared at the young cultivator, which put great pressure on him. The cultivators around him also took a step forward and snorted, staring at the young cultivator with unkind eyes.
There were about eighty cultivators present, all wearing the same style of Taoist robes. It was obvious that they were all cultivators of the same sect. The white-bearded old Taoist priest is the head of the Wuji Sect. Although Wu Dao is already a master in the late stage of returning to the virtual world, he has a fiery temper. The three sects have indeed eliminated many demons. This time he participated in the plan to encircle and suppress demons and immediately rushed to the battlefield with the Tianjian Sect with two-thirds of the sect's apparent strength. Unexpectedly, when passing by this place, he was stopped by this young cultivator who ran out of nowhere and said that there was an ambush ahead. As the largest trading place in the Cangwu Mountains, 'Wanshan Guixu' was already surrounded by an army of monsters. was breached.
Jian Wuchen, the leader of the Tianjian Sect, is also a person who hates evil. Moreover, the "Return to the Ruins of Ten Thousand Mountains" was built by several major sects. It can contribute great benefits to several major sects. The Tianjian Sect also participated in it, so one Hearing that the money tree was about to be destroyed, I was shocked and angry. Even before the young cultivator had time to hear the next words, he immediately led his disciples to fly towards the "Return to the Ruins of Ten Thousand Mountains" with the fastest sword technique, and they couldn't stop him. This is the sword cultivator's bravery and fierceness. He goes forward without hesitation, knowing the danger ahead, and cuts through life and death with just one blow of the flying sword in his hand.
Xu Wudao has known Jian Wuchen for many years and knows his temper well, so he didn't stop him. He couldn't stop him anyway. Moreover, with Jian Wuchen's cultivation level and the group of sword cultivating disciples, no matter how many demons and demons there are, they will not be able to kill him unless there is an immortal or demonic god taking action. "Ten Thousand Mountains Return to Ruins" is only a dozen miles away from here. Even if it takes less than a quarter of an hour to cross the gap in space and explore the situation, if what this young cultivator said is true, then he will naturally have great military skills. If he is If he was telling lies, there would naturally be ways to manipulate him. Who would have thought that not long after Jian Wuchen led the people to fly away, so many demons suddenly appeared in this land. Unprepared, Wu Dao could not lead people to break through the encirclement, so he had to sacrifice the sect's most precious treasure he carried with him - "Innate Wuji Formation" Tu" led all the disciples into the formation and temporarily blocked the demon's attack with the help of the formation.
The "Xiantian Wuji Formation" is an enlightenment treasure left by the founder of the Wuji Sect. According to legend, it was a remnant of the ancient formation that was repaired and perfected by the founder of the Wuji Sect and then refined with his own understanding. After thousands of years of sacrifice and enshrinement by the Wuji Sect, it has been channeled into acquired spiritual treasures. It contains a trace of the innate power of yin and yang fusion. It can intersect with yin and yang to generate immeasurable yin and yang energy. When used for attack, it can dissolve any defense and magic weapon; when used for defense, it can dissolve any attack spell and resist various attacks. Of course, this is all in When the user's cultivation level is sufficient.
It's a pity that this is just a residual image. Most of the internal purification has been lost, leaving only a trace of the innate yin and yang power. Since the content is too small, it can only be transformed into the acquired yin and yang power. At most, it has more magical effects than the ordinary yin and yang power and is more pure. However, it is impossible to reverse life and death and transform acquired into innate. According to the guess of the founder of the Wuji Sect, this should be a fragment of an innate magic weapon, so it can have such a wonderful effect. Unfortunately, it was destroyed because it was broken. Otherwise, maybe Wuji Sect can be promoted to the top sect with this! Of course, the greater possibility is that the gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters from all walks of life who came after hearing the news will destroy the family and snatch the treasures.
An innate magic weapon is of infinite value, and even those with great supernatural powers who have already become immortals and gods cannot resist its temptation. What the Wuji Sect received was only a fragment that was later sacrificed and refined into the acquired spiritual treasure. To a certain extent, it was considered a blessing. Because with their strength they simply cannot protect the innate magic weapon.
Relying on the "Innate Wuji Array" to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turn it into the power of Yin and Yang Tai Chi, the people of the Defense Wuji Sect successfully blocked the attacks of the demons and gained temporary safety. But even if the nihilistic move was carried out in a timely manner, casualties could not be avoided. In the moment just now, five disciples who were not careful enough suffered injuries of varying severity. Fortunately, they were not life-threatening and could be cured if they were cared for properly.
But this also aroused the anger of the people in the Wuji Sect. After settling the injured, they immediately launched an army to investigate.
The young cultivator, Xing Mei Jian Mu, has a strong build and carries a spear on his back, which makes him look more like a warrior. He took a few steps back, stood firm, rubbed his neck, and looked around. There was no trace of fear in his eyes. He was extremely calm and bowed to Wu Dao. He said loudly: "Senior is also very sympathetic and worried about the injured junior from the noble sect. But the junior is not I am not a spy of the devil but I am here to remind you not to fall into the trap of the devil."
"Hum, so we should be grateful to you?" Wu Dao sneered and pointed outside, "Isn't this considered an ambush?" Although the battle was short, it was still easy to see with his eyesight and senses. There are tens of thousands of demons, and there are even three demon lords among them! This is already a very powerful demon force.
"Senior, you underestimated the power of demons. They have come from the demon world. How can they only have these powers? Since it can be called an ambush, it is certainly powerful enough to deal with or even annihilate your entire army!" The young cultivator shook his head and said. .
"Let our whole army be wiped out? Hahahahaha, it's so funny. Do you think they are some kind of gods or demons? They can actually wipe out our whole army. Why are they still cowering and letting us encircle and suppress them without such power?~~~ ~~~You, everything you said is true? Who are you?" Xu Wu Dao laughed with disbelief on his face. Even the disciples of the Wuji Sect around him sneered at him until the young cultivator handed Xu Wu Dao a piece of communication jade. After reading the contents inside the card, he opened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
The young cultivator chuckled and took out a token and dazzled it in front of his eyes. Xian Wudao's eyes lit up and he looked much more polite, "It turns out he is a disciple of the national master. No wonder he knows so much information. The old Taoist priest is really disrespectful."

"Ten Thousand Mountains Return to Ruins" is located in a space gap where the vast space opened up by various sects is used to trade various resources in the world of cultivation. Jian Wuchen led his disciples to patrol here.
Jian Wuchen frowned as he flew with his sword all the way because he felt an ominous aura.
Jian Wuchen had reached the late stage of returning to the void decades ago. Since he was captured alive in the battle with You Longzi, his arrogance was greatly shocked. There is still a huge gap between magic and Taoism. But Jian Wuchen is not someone who can be defeated so easily. He is like a divine sword, the more it is sharpened, the sharper it becomes! After being released by You Longzi, he did not hate You Longzi. After all, it was inevitable that the two of them were in different camps and fought with each other. There was no actual hatred.
Even Jian Wuchen later received a lot of benefits from You Longzi.
