Chapter 584: The Last Saint, the Ancient Demon Lord, Historical Context
Jiang Mi and Jiang Mi were very surprised that Zhou Qing was able to see through the changes in the Formless Demonic Sutra.
Although Jiang Mi himself said that this magic technique is not unsolvable, there are several ways to find the flaws.
But the problem is that those methods are by no means ordinary, they are exceptions among exceptions.
I never expected that Zhou Qing would be such an exception.
This can only make the Jiang siblings lament that Zhou Qing is really secretive.
“The most basic change in the Formless Demonic Sutra is to change out of thin air. Without any support, you can change the appearance and breath into someone else. This is the level of transformation in the Formless Demonic Sutra.”< br>
Jiang Mi then said: "But there are many flaws in such a change. Anyone with a little skill can see it, and the flaws will be exposed directly when taking action."
"A further change requires relying on the blood and soul of others, and then collecting other people's true energy or soul power as a supplement. This change goes one step further and is already so seamless that it is difficult to detect with ordinary means."
“Whether it’s the appearance, the aura fluctuations when taking action, the attributes of true energy, and other aspects, they are almost the same as others. This is the true level.”
"And the Formless Magic Sutra has the highest level, that is, formless. Once you have cultivated to this level, it is said that you can even imitate other people's martial arts and Taoism perfectly, and there will be no difference in power."
Zhou Qing Nodding slightly, "It sounds very magical."
"It is indeed magical. The magic method has always been mysterious, and the Phaseless Magic Sutra is also famous." Jiang Mi added:
"If you want to see through the changes in the Formless Magic Sutra, the most direct way is to discern the abnormalities in the behavior of the demon cultivator after the change."
"The changes are similar again, but some subtle differences Habits cannot be changed. If a demon cultivator becomes like me and gets along with people who are particularly familiar with me, then there is a possibility that something is wrong.”
This is the simplest way to see through it, but it is not universal.
Because there are not many people in this world who are familiar with every little habit of yours and who know you particularly well.
As long as those who practice the Formless Magic Sutra do not appear in front of these people and inquire about your style and habits in advance, it will be difficult for them to find flaws in this aspect.
“The second is to practice targeted and high-level Taoist martial arts, or to be born with the clairvoyance that can see through illusions, but in either case, it is rare.”
This is an important inheritance of ancient magic. The Taoist martial arts that can target it must be very demanding.
However, this type of Taoist martial arts is relatively unique and only a few in number.
The most Taoist martial arts in the world are naturally used for fighting.
The innate miraculousness of the celestial eye type is even rarer.
"In addition, there is a strong person who personally investigates and understands the origin, so that the problem can be discovered."
Jiang Mi shook his head when he said this, "But if a person from the ancient demonic path After the disciples performed the transformation, they merged into the sea of people, which is also difficult to do. ”
Not to mention the whole world, just Hanzhou, how many people are there?
It is obviously unrealistic to ask experts to investigate one by one.
It can only ensure that certain special places will not be mixed in by those who practice the formless demonic skill.
“It turns out that this formless magic power cannot change the original level.”
It can only be said that it is not as good as the Wanhua property.
Jiang Ling replied matter-of-factly: "Of course not, otherwise, the ancient demonic path would have brought trouble to the world."
The origin has changed and cannot be seen through. The consequences of this are too serious, and it can be lawless.
"The last is a relatively most feasible method." Jiang Mi continued:
"That is Haoran Qi. There is a inheritance in All Saints Academy, and the grades are not the same. High, it is easy to practice, but only those with awe-inspiring Qi can practice it."
"After cultivating this inheritance, you can directly have special reactions to people transformed by the Formless Demonic Sutra, and thus see through his power. Flaws.”
Zhou Qing was a little confused when he heard this.
He didn’t practice any inheritance, so why did his Haoran Qi react?
It’s quite strange.
Jiang Mi sighed, "This level of magic power, a natural path that leads directly to the fairyland, is generally not discovered by Haoran Qi so easily."
"But Wu Xiang When the magic scripture changes, it is equivalent to running the magic power all the time, but it is an exception, and this power is especially restrained by Haoran Qi. This restraint is more serious than other magic powers."
"People of the ancient demon path are especially afraid of All Saints Academy and hate All Saints Academy the most. They rarely enter the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for activities."
Zhou Qing asked: "This should be related to the ancient demon king, right?"
Jiang Mi smiled and said, "Yes, the grievances between the two have lasted for a long time since then."
The ancient demonic sect originated from what Zhou Qing said The ancient demon king.
Of course, this sect was not founded by this demon king, but by an ancient demon cultivator who received the inheritance from the ancient demon king and became an unparalleled master. Finally, he established the ancient demon path and worshiped the ancient demon. Jun.
This information is recorded in Xuandu Temple, and the current situation of the Demon Sect in the world is also information that disciples of Xuandu Temple should understand. Know yourself and the enemy, and be victorious in every battle.
It has been almost a month since Zhou Qing came to Xuandu Temple, and he naturally knows some things.
Because he had come into contact with many demon cultivators before, or had heard about demon sects, he was quite careful about this aspect.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a demon king with unparalleled magic power and unrivaled strength. He once brought trouble to the world and was revered as the leader of the devil, known as the demon king.
The several magic skills he possesses are all magical and mysterious, making him uncontrollable and powerful.
At that time, the entire world was trembling under the evil power of the ancient demon king and was unable to resist him. It was the era when demons were most rampant and the darkest period in the world.
It can be said to be a catastrophe for the people.
But this demon did not remain free for long, and the chaotic world of the devil did not last forever.
Because another master came out of the blue and directly suppressed this demon king.
That was another saint after the age of saints, and the only one, the last saint. After that one, there has never been a saint in the world.
When demons are in chaos in the world, the last saint comes to the world to wipe out the demons and defeat the ancient demon king.
In various legends circulated in the world, one saint and one devil only fought twice.
In the first encounter, the Last Saint defeated the Demon Lord with his overwhelming strength, but because the Ancient Demon Lord had other methods, he unfortunately let him escape.
In the second fight, there were no more surprises. The ancient demon king died directly at the hands of the last saint.
Completely put an end to the ancient evil scourge and restore peace to the world.
But before his death, the ancient demon king said that he had left behind his own legacy, and that someone would eventually inherit his mantle and will and accomplish what he failed to do.
The last saint also responded to this.
Based on Haoran Qi, he created restraint methods for several kinds of magic skills of the ancient demon lord, and passed them on to future generations, so that when the descendants of the ancient demon lord appear, future generations will have the ability to counterattack. It will not cause the ancient evil disaster to reappear.
As the All Saints Academy, known as the All Saints Tradition, of course there are these inheritances within it, and the method of restraining the formless demonic skill is just one of them.
That’s why it is said that the ancient demons were most afraid of All Saints Academy, and the hatred between the two factions really goes on forever.
"The ancient demon king and the last saint don't know whether their legends are true or false. Did such an earth-shattering war really happen in history..."
Jiang Ling was a little lost in thought, as if he was thinking about that era.
“It happened too long ago, and only the legend with only scales and half claws left.” Jiang Mi shook his head.
“If it weren’t for the internal records of the ancient demonic path, which adds some credibility to these legends, then I’m afraid no one would believe it.”
Zhou Qing also sighed with emotion, “ Yes, that era was too old, and many things cannot be verified.”
Jiang Mi looked at Zhou Qing and said with a smile:
“Senior Brother Jiang is talking about the Destiny Sect, but there is something even more ancient in your hometown. "
"Yes." Jiang Mi nodded. , "In the age of the saints, there are still legends about evil and disaster in the world. But for the Tianming Sect, if it weren't for the discovery of the Tianming Sect's ruins, I'm afraid no one would know about it."
" Yes." Zhou Qing nodded in approval.
"I don't know how many secrets are hidden in history."
Now, Zhou Qing has some understanding of the context of history.
In today’s people’s understanding of history, the oldest period is before the heavenly changes.
As for that era, people today only know the information that practitioners can enjoy longevity and longevity. Other situations, such as what forces and traditions there were in that era, and what the world was like, are all unclear.
The change in the sky is a mysterious and key historical node, which separates everything, making the previous history shrouded in fog and impossible to pry into.
Before the heavenly change, it was also called the unknown era and the era of chaos.
The future will be after the Heavenly Change, that is, the period of the Destiny Sect.
The Tianming Sect is the supreme overlord of this era, ruling the world, and no one or force has the ability to resist.
There is no doubt that it is accurate that destiny is respected.
But there is actually no accurate statement about whether other information and perceptions of this era are correct, because most of the information we know about this era comes from the ruins of the Destiny Sect.
There are many doubts that have not been solved or confirmed. Did the Destiny Sect exist before the Heavenly Change and have been passed down forever, or was it an "emerging" force that only appeared after the Heavenly Change?
Is there any lost history during this period from the day when the sky changed to the time when the destiny of heaven came to be honored?
These things have always been a mystery.
After the behemoth of the Destiny Sect collapsed inexplicably, the Destiny Era ended and the Saints Era came.
As for how long it took for the Era of Destiny to end, and what kind of changes and developments it went through to usher in the Era of All Saints, there are no specific records in the world, only fragments of legends.
The emergence of saints one after another and their respect for the world is a sign of the beginning of the era of saints.
It was a brand new era. Saints led the development of the world. They taught all kinds of things, enlightened the world, and all living beings in the world were prosperous.
A prosperous age like flowers and burning oil has arrived.
It is said that although most of the Taoist traditions in the world do not exist since the era of the saints, the origins of the Taoist traditions are more or less related to that era.
Of course, these are just impossible to study, there are only a few recorded legends, and no one has seen the specific features and conditions.
Some people even doubt whether the saints really existed or whether they were fabricated.
Looking back from the past, how could masters like the saints exist in the world?
False, absolutely false. It is the news that All Saints Academy deliberately came out to put gold on its face.
I, the Ancient Demonic Way, condemn this with real name.
All Saints College is shameless!
But naturally more people believe it.
With all the saints sitting down, this era will naturally end, and then there will be the last saint and the ancient demon king.
This era is called ancient times, but because of the existence of the last saint, some people think that this still belongs to the era of all saints, and that the afterglow of the saints shines on that era.
But in fact, according to records, before the appearance of the last saint and the ancient demon king, masters of their level had been born in the world for a long time.
All saints no longer exist, and the era of saints is really over. The last saint and the ancient demon king are the only exceptions in the ancient times. No one knows how they got there, but they do possess overwhelming divine power. A symbol of ancient times.
The death of the ancient demon king and the incarnation of the last saint also mean the end of the ancient era. This is a relatively short era.
Since then, no cultivator who can be canonized has been born in the world, and no generation demon like the ancient demon king has been born. Until now, the three kingdoms of the human race have stood up, and the barbarian demons have continued to prosper... …
This is the brief historical development process of this world, which is recorded in a classic book "Ancient and Modern" in Xuandu Temple.
History contains many secrets. Zhou Qing is very curious about them, but unfortunately, he does not have the ability to explore them yet.
In fact, even if you practice to the level of an immortal, you may not be able to figure it all out.
How many years has the Boundless Sky Ruins stood?
If we look at the historical process currently inferred, the Boundless Sky Ruins have existed since the time of the Saints.
But the Boundless Sky Ruins have still not disappeared and have not been pacified, which shows how terrifying these secrets are.
Whether the saints can solve it, Zhou Qing dare not speculate, but the immortals certainly cannot solve it.
The world is huge, and it always feels like it’s beyond human ability to explore.
Talking about ancient times made Zhou Qing and the others have various thoughts in their minds, and their thoughts were a little complicated for a while.
In such an atmosphere, Tianxing Shenzhou flew quickly and finally returned to the Jiang family.
Then Jiang Ling took the piece of cloth treasure to find the seniors of the Jiang family and asked them to identify it to see if they could gain insight into its origin.
Not long after, she brought back good news.
"I know what this thing is!"
Zhou Qing and Jiang Mi looked at her, waiting for her answer.
“This is a rare treasure made from the silk spun out by the Yin Kong Silkworm.”
Jiang Ling explained: “The Yin Kong Silkworm is a strange beast of the demon clan. They are extremely good at hiding themselves. As long as they enter the hidden state, they are quite effective in mental perception. "
"At the same time, they also have a certain amount of transformation ability. They can transform into things like stones and plants. They even have a certain amount of space talent. There is a silkworm heart in their body. Treasures used to refine space bags.”
Both Zhou Qing and Zhou Qing were surprised. They did not expect that there were such strange silkworms in the world.
I have to say, I did gain some insight.
“The silk spun out by this kind of silkworm can perfectly inherit these abilities after a certain amount of refining. This piece of cloth is equivalent to a rare treasure. After refining, it also has extremely strong defense. Ability."
"The defense is indeed very strong."
Zhou Qing nodded in approval and blasted the true blood puppet for nine times before it returned to its original shape.
"Then how can we open it?"
"The owner of this treasure is dead, and because of the characteristics of this treasure, it cannot be opened by erasing the mark on it."
Jiang Ling Said: "You can choose to open it violently with extremely strong strength, but this method will hurt For this rare treasure, the next step is to find a hidden void silkworm."
"The last method is to soak it in a kind of spiritual water called spiritual water, and then you can find this piece. "The Jiang family doesn't have the spiritual water."
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and made a decision.
"This is a good treasure. It would be a pity to open it violently. Let's wait until we return to Xuandu to see if there is spiritual water or hidden void silkworms there."
The Jiang family sister and brother said to each other There is no objection to this decision because it is Zhou Qing's trophy.
Zhou Qing also distributed the four artifacts obtained from the three demons of the ancient demonic path with the Jiang family siblings.
However, the two said that they did not help in any way in that battle and strongly refused.
But Zhou Qing was also very determined. Jiang Mi taking him into the Luoxia Icefield was a big favor to him. The fact that he saved a month of hard work cannot be compared with any magical weapon.
Under Zhou Qing's insistence, the Jiang family siblings had no choice but to accept a lower-grade artifact, otherwise they would not give Zhou Qing face.
There are only three other artifacts, so no matter what Zhou Qing says, they will not divide them any more.
In fact, the value of an artifact is really not as valuable as Tianxia Xuequan.
Just after this incident, the two parties will definitely maintain a good relationship and will continue to deepen.
So a little bit of fun is enough, but it’s not really easy to put prices on everything.
If I did that, wouldn't I just say directly that I don't want to have anything to do with your Jiang family, or that the Jiang family doesn't want to deal with you, Zhou Qing?
Jiang Ling gave another piece of information:
"I heard from my father that the spiritual water is a relatively obscure treasure and may be used in some treasure appraisals."
Zhou Qing nodded and kept it in mind.
At this time, the sun is shining brightly, so...
Let’s eat first.
After another farewell banquet at the Jiang family, Zhou Qing and Jiang Mi flew to the Xuanfa Mountains.
It had been almost three days since he came out, and Zhou Qing thought that Qi Yunyuan and the other two should also come back.
When he returned to Xuandu Temple, it was already late at night. Zhou Qing first went to Shuiyue Peak, reported peace to Luo Liuli, and talked about what happened in the Luoxia Icefield.
"Three demons from the ancient demonic path? You killed them..."
This sounds a bit powerful.
Luo Liuli nodded slightly, "You did a good job. If you send their corpses to the Hall of Merit tomorrow, you will be rewarded by the temple."
You don't need to go to the Palace of True Legend for this kind of thing. , the Merit Hall is responsible for this matter.
“As for the manifesting water…”
Luo Liuli paused, then took out a jade bottle from his space ring.
"I just have this thing here, you can take it and use it."
"..."
Danjun's thighs are so comfortable to hold.
If Zhou Qing needs this spiritual water alone, then he needs to find out the information first, and then keep running. He doesn't know how long it will take to get this treasure.
Now it's delivered directly to me.
Zhou Qing did not refuse and took the spiritual water.
It’s just a side treasure, and based on the current level of trust between them, it’s not worth mentioning.
