Time passed slowly, and a whole year had passed in the blink of an eye.
There has been no movement outside for a year. This situation can't help but make Wang Ying a little anxious, but there is nothing she can do about it.
Mo Juren was naturally no exception, but he didn't show it.
He was not idle, and was still exploring ways to leave from time to time. Unfortunately, there were no clues. Instead, he found some special spiritual materials and more than ten kinds of rare elixirs, all of which have long been known in the current practice world. something extinct.
This was an unexpected surprise, and without any hesitation, he immediately transplanted it into his own Red Fall space. It has been carefully decorated by Han Yunzhi, and a large number of spiritual stones have been laid. The environment is still good, and it is very suitable for the survival of spiritual medicines.
After learning about this, the Master of Paradise Palace immediately chuckled. I know the other party's plan in my heart, and a year has passed and I still haven't given up the idea of leaving.
Another point is that after a certain period of contact and observation, she basically put down her original vigilance and could confirm that the other party was indeed not taken away by the nightmare. Therefore, a few months ago, the other party was given authority again, allowing him to use his magic power.
Mo Juren didn't care about this, it had no impact anyway. What he is most concerned about now is how to break out of the world of murals. As long as he leaves, his mana will naturally be restored.
During this year, he also spent more than half a month refining and merging the other three sixth-level bloodlines. At this point, all the five elements plus thunder attribute bloodlines have reached the sixth-level perfection.
The effect is self-evident and really surprising.
Firstly, his physical strength has once again improved by leaps and bounds, and even the Red Golden Ape has been far surpassed by him; secondly, his various corresponding innate magic spells have increased by dozens. This is nothing, he has long been used to it, anyway, there are countless secret techniques that can be used.
The most important thing is that the completeness of the three edicts of fire, earth, and gold has been greatly improved. This is the most exciting thing. It means that in the future battles, the power of the five elements edict will become more and more powerful.
Although he is only in the middle stage of pill formation now, with his current strength and endless means, he is not afraid at all even when facing the strong ones in the early stage of Nascent Soul when he exerts his full strength. Except for some special beings, normal Yuanying stage monks may not be able to defeat them, but they can definitely protect themselves.
This is not arrogance, but a conclusion reached after careful analysis. When he had just broken through the early stage of pill formation, he could overwhelm the peak monks in the late stage of pill formation. Now he is in the middle stage of pill formation. His physical strength has improved several times, and various corresponding methods have also been greatly enhanced. It is not surprising to have such confidence.
Naturally, Mo Juren's changes could not be concealed from the Master of Paradise Palace, and the majestic and majestic aura that gave people a great sense of oppression could not be concealed at all. Although what she saw was only the surface, the shock in her heart was still overwhelming. She really couldn't understand how the other party cultivated, and he was able to significantly increase his physical strength in less than a month?
The two of them had already learned this lesson once before when they fought. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a monster. Now that he has improved again, monster is no longer enough to describe him. Monster is more suitable.
She did not suspect Nightmare because of this, and the reason was very simple. Even the latter did not have such abnormal abilities, and even had to collect a large amount of the essence bloodline of the half-demon clansmen for this purpose.
"How did you do it?" On this day, the two of them met for a walk in the garden. Unable to suppress their curiosity, the Master of Paradise Palace finally asked.
"Mo is extremely talented. Fellow Daoist Xu has already inquired about my situation from Ying'er." Mo Juren replied with a smile. After getting along for nearly a year, the relationship between the two has become closer and closer, and they can be regarded as relatively friendly friends. And he also learned the other party's real name, Xu Qingcheng, by chance. It is true that the person lives up to his name. In fact, "alluring the city and the country" is not enough to describe the other person's appearance and charm.
"Be serious, I'm not kidding you." Xu Qingcheng glared at the other party.
"This involves Mo's secret. Although you and I are friends, it's better for each of us to have reservations about certain things." Mo Juren naturally refused the other party's inquiry without hesitation.
"Stingy." Xu Qingcheng snorted. The so-called friend was just that the other party thought that after what happened in the Hall of Ecstasy, how could there be no traces in her heart? There is always something special about the person in front of you.
After a pause, he immediately changed the topic and said,
"It's been a long time and you still haven't given up?"
"You already know the situation outside, right?" Mo Juren did not answer, but asked the other party instead.
"Of course I know." Xu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at the other party again and said they were friends. However, the news came from other monks in the Dan Formation stage. Neither the other party nor Wang Ying took the initiative to mention it from beginning to end. It was obvious that it was the idea of the guy in front of him, and the latter was completely following his orders.
"It's been a year, are you sure they won't give up?"
"There is such a possibility, so we can only take a gamble." Mo Juren nodded. With more than ten elders in the Danjie stage, neither Kamikaze Island nor the Corpse Jade Sect will give up easily. Both forces will bear the consequences. Can't bear such a huge loss. In addition, if Cheng Songting and Qin Luan really did that, what would the rest of the people think? This is a question that must be considered.
What's more important is that from the moment they stepped onto the second floor of the pagoda, everyone has been trapped in some kind of weird cycle. They can't leave without breaking the formation.
"I hope you are lucky enough." Xu Qingcheng couldn't persuade Xu Qingcheng with such an attitude.
"What about you, have you ever thought about going out?" After a moment of silence, Mo Juren suddenly asked.
"Of course I do, but the possibility is too low." Xu Qingcheng replied directly without thinking.
Who would want to stay in this miserable place unless they have no choice? Moreover, now that the threat of nightmares has disappeared, and the burden on her shoulders is no longer there, she naturally wants to get out. Freedom is one aspect, but the key is the path. The rules of the secret realm are special, even if all the spiritual veins have been absorbed by her Taking it for her own use is the limit that can allow her to reach her current state by herself. She cannot meet more needs at all. Only when she goes outside can she have a chance.
"Don't be too depressed, the possibility is still very high." Mo Juren comforted the other party.
"I'm not as confident as you." Xu Qingcheng smiled and shook her head, but her expression suddenly became serious.
"You think, would a being like me really be accepted by others outside?"
"Why not?" Mo Juren was a little surprised. It turned out that the other party was still worried about this?
There are many strange things in the world of spiritual practice. Monsters and demonic cultivators abound, and even ghost cultivators also exist. As long as their own interests are not involved, who has the time to think about these things?
"I am a demon, even though I am only a half-demon. In ancient times, the demons invaded, and the human-demon tribe was almost in a life-and-death situation." Xu Qingcheng was still unsure. Regardless of her status as the Lord of the First Palace, here, as long as it involves the vast world outside, the weak side in her heart will undoubtedly be revealed.
"You also said that it was in ancient times. Times have changed and the world of practice today has become different." Mo Juren smiled and continued,
"In fact, although the demons of the past failed, their remaining influence is far beyond imagination. There are a large number of demon monks in the practice world, and their skills are inextricably linked to the demons of the past.
What's more, your true realm should be comparable to that of a strong human being in the early stages of Nascent Soul, but it's just that you're suppressed here and it's difficult to perform. With such strength, as long as someone is not deliberately targeting someone outside, it is basically enough to protect oneself.
In addition, not many people probably know about having demon blood. As long as you don't take the initiative to mention it, others probably won't notice anything. "
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Xu Qingcheng was a little stunned, but she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Before, she felt that she couldn't get out anyway, so she didn't deliberately understand it. She didn't expect that there would be such a huge change outside, but it was really beyond her expectation.
As for the demon bloodline, apart from herself, only four saints knew about it, as well as the people in front of her. With so many prerequisites, there is really no need to worry too much.
After a pause, his eyes suddenly flickered and he asked again,
"By the way, I heard from Ying'er that there is a place called the Star Sea outside, and you are one of the largest forces in the Star Sea?"
"Why are you asking this?" Mo Juren is just the Talisman Master of Xing Palace, and he can barely be considered a subordinate. On the contrary, because of his friendship with Ling Yuling, he was naturally close to Xing Gong in his heart.
Wang Ying naturally didn't know about this aspect. She only knew some superficial information, but it was not an exaggeration to say that she was one of the senior talisman masters of the Star Palace.
"What is your influence here? If you can really get out this time, can you protect me?"
"Am I protecting you?" Hearing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but be speechless. He, a monk in the middle stage of pill formation, protected a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage. Isn't this a joke?
"Not to mention whether I have such influence, with your strength, it is not a bad idea to join the Star Palace. Why bother?"
"I only believe in you." Xu Qingcheng blinked her bright eyes, her expression full of sincerity. If he hadn't been self-aware, Mo Juren would have almost believed it.
The two sides were indeed friends, but they couldn't ignore the fact that this so-called 'friendship' only lasted for more than a year, and most of it was spent under suspicion.
Under such a premise, is it possible for a Nascent Soul Stage monk to express his belief in only him?
He couldn't help but fell into deep thought and began to think about the other person's intention of suddenly saying this. Suddenly, an idea suddenly came to my mind and I thought of a key thing.
The jade slips left behind by the Nightmare after his death mentioned many secrets related to the half-demon race. One of them is extremely special, and that is the existence of the Blood Restriction, which is a special restriction flowing in the blood.
It sounds mysterious, but in fact it is very simple. All half-demon are born from the blood of the Demon King of Six Desires, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are from his ethnic group. Therefore, you will be subject to this throughout your life.
Even though the original Demon King of Six Desires has died, his heart is still alive, and after countless years of evolution, it has become a 'Holy Demonic Heart'.
Mo Juren doesn't know the evolution process, whether it is mutation or evolution. In short, it is alive, and now it is in his own material library.
Over the past year, he had taken it out and studied it several times, but unfortunately there was no result. And the other party's sudden appearance today, could it be because of this?
Nightmare even mentioned that as long as he completely controls this demonic heart, all the half-demons in the secret realm, including the Master of Paradise Palace, will ultimately be nothing more than fat pigs raised in captivity and will not be able to escape in this life.
The only troublesome thing is that the level of the demon heart is too high, and it is not ordinary difficulty to completely control it. Even the Nightmare himself, because his strength is too low, has only gained some superficial control over such a long time, and has often suffered backlash. Otherwise, even with the obstruction of the large formation, it would be easy to clean up the half-demon clan in the secret realm. That’s all.
Mo Juren's situation is different. He doesn't need to go through so much trouble. The auxiliary device has already done it for him. The previous studies did not encounter any resistance, and it was obvious that he had indirectly controlled this mind. Of course, if you spend enough time in the future, you can also refine it slowly without any impact.
"Do you know something?" He didn't bother to talk to the other person and asked directly.
"Have you guessed it?" Upon hearing the question, the strange look on Xu Qingcheng's face instantly disappeared and turned serious.
"Is the heart of the desire demon in your hands?"
"What do you want to do?" Mo Juren said calmly.
"For the sake of our friendship over the past year, can you return it to me?" Xu Qingcheng stated her purpose directly. However, the answer given by the other party caused his expression to change drastically in an instant.
"No." Mo Juren answered directly without thinking.
"Why, it's useless for you to hold that thing, but it is very important to my half-demon clan." Xu Qingcheng didn't understand why the other party, a human monk, insisted on occupying the demon heart. Does he know the secret? But it shouldn’t be? Or maybe the Nightmare revealed something?
"Why should Mo's things be returned to you?" Mo Juren asked again. As for the 'Holy Demon's Heart', it is a treasure that the auxiliary device has judged to be a special grade material. It is on the same level as the Law of Marriage. How could he give it to the other party? .
In other words, even if you have to give something, it should at least be an exchange of equal value. But the other party is obviously a poor man, what can he give in exchange?
As for the other party falling out, he is not afraid. He couldn't do anything to him before, let alone now? It doesn't matter even if she goes outside. Firstly, the bloodline improvement has greatly increased her strength. She is not afraid of the opponent. Secondly, and the most important thing, she doesn't dare to do anything if the devil is there.
"You..." Xu Qingcheng was very angry, but what the other party said was correct. The Nightmare was killed by the other party, so the devil's heart naturally belongs to the other party as a trophy. Why should it be returned to her for no reason?
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked again,
"How on earth do you want to return the devil's heart?"
"As long as you can offer something of equal value in exchange, Mo won't agree. But, are you sure you can offer it?" Mo Juren didn't say anything. However, when Xu Qingcheng heard this, she felt a little desperate. How could she get something equivalent?
"Can you change the conditions? As long as you promise to return the devil's heart, I'm willing to do anything."
"Are you willing to do anything?" Mo Juren really didn't expect that the other party would go so far in order to get back the devil's heart. His eyes couldn't help but look at the other person, and his face was even more thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
