Chapter 230 Demon King, Evil God, Ancestral Spirit, Priest, Warrior!
Tanzhou is located in the southwest of Zhongzhou, with a vast and long area.
The mighty Butian Sect fleet passed by the northern end of Tanzhou and arrived at its destination——
"Cangyan Mountain."
Chen Jichuan was on board the ship and had a panoramic view of Cangyan Mountain. At a glance, he saw strange mountains, strange rocks, strange forests, and a secluded environment. There were also bridges that took away the merits of nature, and ancient temples that added to the beauty of the mountains and forests.
"How many tourists get drunk in the mountains and write poems on the stones, ancient and modern."
Chen Jichuan's eyes showed anticipation.
Cangyan Mountain is a famous mountain in Tanzhou, and there are not many rare treasures in the mountain. There have always been some monks who like to enjoy the scenery and enjoy themselves. In recent years, seven real people from the seven great immortal sects in Zhongzhou have settled here to practice and discuss Taoism together. They were called the "Seven Friends of Cangyan" at the time.
The underground cave suddenly appeared in Cangyan Mountain and was seen by many tourists, and the ‘Seven Friends of Cangyan’ was no exception. Immediately block the news of the catacombs and notify their respective doors at the same time.
Only then did Chen Jichuan and the others come here.
The east peak cliff of Cangyan forms a mountain pass between the west-turning hillside and the west peak cliff. A mountain gate cleverly takes advantage of the mountain and is built on the mouth, with lush forests and deep valleys covering it. Xifeng Cliff is a few miles to the northwest, and together with Luantai Nao forms Luantai Mountain Pass, with the mountain gate and archway hidden within it.
Therefore, if you don't enter Luantaikou, you can't see the mountain gate. After entering Luantaikou, there was still no sandalwood forest.
This is the first scene in Cangyan Mountain, which is called "Yanguan Suocui".
"There are more than just the 'Seven Friends of Cangyan' in Cangyan Mountain now. Our sect's supreme leader and the supreme elders of the other six immortal sects are all in the mountain, guarding the entrance to the cave."
Luo Pu led Chen Jichuan and others and explained.
The fleet landed outside Cangyan Mountain, and everyone stepped up.
"The Supreme Elder——"
"It seems that the Immortal Sect really attaches great importance to the underground cave."
Chen Jichuan thought to himself.
He never had the opportunity to meet the Supreme Elder in the sect, but he also knew that only those in the late stage of awakening could be called the 'Top Supreme'. Such characters are rare in the entire Central Continent and the Evil Ring Sea, not to mention the Butian Sect.
At this time, there are seven supreme figures in the mountain, which shows that the major immortal sects attach great importance to the cave.
Entering Cangyan Mountain, pass by 'Yanguan Suocui', see 'Wind Spring Washing Jade', pass 'Wuyin', cross 'Bijian Lingtan', climb 'Hanging Stairs to Clouds', and step towards 'Flying Rainbow in Bridge Hall'.
Only then did a group of people come to the place where the "Seven Friends of Cangyan" used to watch the mountains and enjoy themselves - "Juewan Huilan".
This is on the cliff between the west peaks. Taoist temples, dangerous platforms, ancestral temples, pagodas, etc. tower into the sky. The plank road built by chiseling the wall leads to twists and turns. Climbing along it, the top is connected to Taixu, and the bottom is facing no ground, just like walking in the danger of sword pavilion. There are twists and turns, and you reach the top of the cliff. From a distance, the mountains are stacked like thousands of waves; from a close view, Baihequan Gorge has a panoramic view.
“Good mountains and beautiful scenery.”
"No wonder it attracted seven real people to fall in love with each other."
Seeing this scenery, Chen Jichuan couldn't help but feel very good.
Looking further ahead, there were already seven disciples guarding the plank road, leading Chen Jichuan and others inside. Then the Qi Refining disciples were led elsewhere, while Chen Jichuan and other enlightened masters continued to go deeper until they reached a magnificent palace.
The name of the temple is "Nostalgia".
Entering it, I saw a dozen people sitting on their seats. Although their auras were hidden, they were all extraordinary. There are seven people sitting at the top, each with different appearance. They are none other than the Supreme Being of the Seven Sects.
Chen Jichuan and the others came earlier. Before them, only the monks from Jiuding Mountain came earlier, while the other five immortal sects lagged behind.
Therefore, there are not many people in the palace. Apart from the seven Supreme Beings, there are only ten monks from Jiuding Mountain and seven people with different robes and decorations. They should be the owners of this place, the ‘Seven Friends of Cangyan’.
When everyone met and sat down, they chatted casually. The seven Supreme Elders were also chatting, but they were not in a hurry to talk about business for the moment. They had to wait until all the monks from the other five sects arrived before discussing the exploration, development and other matters of the 'cave'.
Chen Jichuan's qualifications are still relatively low, and he is not even familiar with the real people of his sect, let alone other immortal sects.
So he just sat quietly, occasionally saying a few words to Zhu Yu, Li Yunai and others, and spent most of his time observing the people on the field.
"The weapon refining skills of Jiuding Mountain are the best in Central Continent, and it is indeed well-deserved."
Chen Jichuan looked at everyone with one eye and immediately understood.
Each of these Jiuding Mountain masters has dabbled in the art of weapon refining, but most of them are mediocre and have not studied in depth. Only the top elder of Jiuding Mountain, ‘Wang Qin’, and the top one named ‘Yang Jingyuan’ are the leaders.
They are all second-level weapon refiners, and their attainments are far above Chen Jichuan's.
also.
Yang Jingyuan's formation attainments are not low, and he is comparable to Jiulong Zhenren.
"There must be formation masters from each sect coming this time."
The Supreme Beings of the Seven Sects are like the divine needles of various sects, and they cannot stay in one cave for a long time.
Even if the cave is critical, it will not stay for a long time, so it is necessary to arrange an array to protect the entrance to the cave.
Moreover, if Chen Jichuan and others want to stand firm and secure in the cave, they also need a formation master to set up the formation as a foundation.
Chen Jichuan thought about this and sat quietly without saying much.
Time passes.
The other five sects of the seven great sects of Central Continent also arrived one after another——
Seven Emperors Sword Sect, Shura Shen Sect, Wuyuan Sect, Kayaba Temple, Wanfu Sect, plus the Jiuding Mountain and Butian Sect who arrived first, the seven great immortal sects are here.
Each of the seven immortal sects has its own characteristics.
There is a sword cultivator.
There is body training.
There is Buddhism.
There are also those who are good at talismans.
In the Nostalgia Hall, nearly a hundred real people gathered together, which was a grand occasion.
All the sects gathered together, and the seven princes introduced the situation, emphasized the need for each sect to unite and help each other, and finally encouraged the monks.
Then assign the task.
First let Luo Pu and other mid-level second-level monks enter the cave, divide it into seven directions, conduct a rough exploration, and decide on where Chen Jichuan and others will stay in the near future.
He also asked Jiulong Zhenren and other formation masters to discuss setting up the formation. In addition to defending outside, the formation must also defend within. Neither the casual cultivators of Yeluzi can be allowed to break in without permission, nor can the evil gods and demon kings in the cave be allowed to come out.
For a while.
Cangyan Mountain is bustling with activity.
Chen Jichuan and others were resting quietly, waiting for Luo Pu and others to explore.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s been more than a month.
finally.
Luopu and others return, everything is ready.
……
boom!
With a roar, Chen Jichuan passed through the "Aperture to Other Heavens" among the eighteen sceneries of Cangyan Mountain, but he felt that his whole body fell, and he seemed to have a heavy weight on his body. If he were a mortal, he would have been overwhelmed by the pressure. Chen Jichuan's cultivation was superb, but he had little influence.
But in such a gravity environment, speed and combat effectiveness will inevitably be affected.
There was special information explaining this before entering the cave, so it was not unexpected.
Look up again.
Above the fairy world is the human world, and one orifice is indeed a different world!
It was as if the world had changed, and the scene in front of him was completely different. He was no longer in Cangyan Mountain, or even in the Evil Ring Sea.
"Cheer up, everyone."
"The cave is weirdly tight. Don't conflict with others or leave the team before you get used to it."
Chen Jichuan led a small team of 200 people, raised his voice and gave instructions again, and then led them along the route that Luopu had explored a few days ago.
This time in the underground cave operation, Butian Sect was responsible for the due north position.
The place Chen Jichuan wanted to go was named "Wulin Mountain" by Luo Pu. It is said that 'peach blossoms are floating at the bottom of the mountain, and snowflakes are flying on the mountain'. It is also said that 'the sky is different in three miles, and there are three seasons in one mountain'. The scenery is quite pleasant.
But the scenery comes second.
The main reason is that Wuling Mountain is very foggy, suitable for hiding people, setting up formations, and has abundant spiritual energy. The peach trees in the mountains are even more extraordinary. They are called "Jade Smoke Fairy Peach". They are very rare for benefiting Qi and nourishing the spirit. They are also excellent for making elixirs.
Just the peach groves in the mountains are a huge harvest.
If you dig deeper, there should be more surprises.
The premise is that this mountain can be occupied.
Starting from the entrance of the cave, follow the route discovered by Luo Pu and keep going forward. It is difficult to move here, and all detection methods are restricted, and you can only rely on the naked eye.
Movement and speed are also suppressed.
In the outside world, ordinary monks in the early stage of Qi Refining can travel thousands of miles a day. But here, they can walk up to a hundred miles a day, which is suppressed nearly a hundred times.
Because there were many chore disciples in the early stage of Qi refining in the team, Chen Jichuan could only advance slowly.
"What a pity."
"My cultivation level is not enough, and my attainments in the 'Daluo Tianxiu' are still far behind. Otherwise, it would be much more convenient to just wave my sleeves and put them in my sleeves, and then hurry up."
Chen Jichuan hurried on slowly. Seeing the slow pace, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Daluo Tianxiu is limited by his cultivation and attainments. It's okay to collect one or two magic weapons and suppress one or two evil spirits. But if he wants to collect two hundred Qi Refining monks in his sleeve, he still has to travel calmly. This is just a dream.
Chen Jichuan didn't think so.
While taking care of these disciples, he sent his stewards and deacons along the way to spread out along this route and record all the terrain and landforms along the way, including the hidden resources, evil gods, demon kings, etc.
There will definitely be a lot of traffic between Wuling Mountain and the entrance of this cave in the future, so it will not go wrong to explore the route more clearly.
It’s not that we are in a hurry to develop those resources.
I am not in a hurry to deal with the evil gods and demon kings along the way, I just want to be aware of it. Once we have settled down in Wuling Mountain and have a stable base camp, it will not be too late to start planning.
Along the way.
Limited by footwork but also benefiting from footwork, Chen Jichuan's understanding of the caves was finally not limited to paper, and he had more knowledge.
"Sacrifice to the evil god."
"The demon king roars."
"There are more barbarians living in the water system between the mountains. Most of them are protected by ancestral spirits. There are also barbarians who believe in evil gods, and some are imprisoned by the demon king and reduced to food rations."
The more Chen Jichuan saw, the more curious he became about this place.
These barbarians are said to be "barbarians", but in fact they are the same as the people in Zhongzhou, the Qinling world, and the Dahui world. They are just different in culture and ideology.
Except the barbarians.
Looking up at the sky, the stars in the outer sky are only slightly different from those in Central China.
……
Name: Wu Zhen
Age: 740
Level: 23
Cultivation: Third Level of Soul Refining
Spell: "Blood Pushing Technique"
……
Chen Jichuan used the 'Taiyin Sneaking Technique' to hide his figure and secretly observed a tall man with a long face and a sharp mouth sitting cross-legged in the mountain in front of him.
This is a second-level demon king, whose true body is ‘Wu Zhen’. He follows the path of life, and his practice of the “Blood Pushing Technique” is also common.
But this demon king's current cultivation level is obviously extraordinary. It was surrounded by a terrifying black spirit and evil aura, and there was a faint smell of blood.
Chen Jichuan had killed many demons and slain many demons, and he could tell at a glance that this Wuji King had committed many crimes, and most of his cultivation was obtained by eating the blood of barbarians.
The foundation is unstable and the combat power is not much stronger.
Chen Jichuan did not bother King Wu Zhen's practice. He just passed by and took a look before bypassing this place.
……
Name: Lu Changlin
Age: 1549
Level: 22
Cultivation: Low level in the Holy Realm
Kung Fu: "The Chant of the Wind"
……
Name: Shi Jian
Age: 260
Level: 16
Cultivation: High Priest
Skill: "Whisper of the Wind God"
……
Name: Yang Qiu
Age: 110
Level: 12
Cultivation: War General
Skill: "The Roar of the Earth"
……
As he walked and looked around, thanks to the 'insight technique', Chen Jichuan gained a better understanding of the practice system in the cave.
Most of them are the same as those found in the sect——
For example, evil gods and ancestral spirits, many of them are "legends" equivalent to Qi Refining monks, while a few are comparable to demon kings and real people, which are "sacred realms". They mostly rely on faith, and their practice system is completely different from the immortal way, the life way, etc.
Another example is barbarians.
Can be divided into two categories——
One type is the 'mage route', which follows the paths of apprentice, mage, priest, high priest, and divine envoy. It focuses on meditation and specializes in cultivating the soul.
The other type is the 'warrior' route, which from low to high is apprentice, warrior, general, general, and envoy. It focuses on fighting spirit and specializes in physical training.
However, neither the 'mage' nor the 'warrior' exist alone. Cultivation does not depend on oneself at all, but on the gods and ancestral spirits one believes in.
Only faith can lead to practice.
When practicing and fighting, you must also rely on the power of gods and ancestral spirits. Once the gods fall or the ancestral spirits are disillusioned, their strength will decrease sharply.
at the same time.
The power of gods and ancestral spirits also relies heavily on these believers. If there are many and strong believers, their strength will be strong. If there are few believers, the strength will be weak. If a believer dies, the gods and ancestral spirits will fall into a deep sleep and will die over time.
"As long as the gods and ancestral spirits have continuous followers, they will be strong and live long."
"It's a pity that the restrictions are too great, it's not as free as the immortal way."
Chen Jichuan looked carefully and thought deeply. Although he found it novel, he could clearly see its disadvantages.
I disdain it in my heart.
Instead, he ordered his men to stay alert.
These evil gods and ancestral spirits have their own specialties and their methods are strange and unpredictable. And some of those barbarians look ordinary, but in fact, once they start fighting, they can borrow divine power or even ask gods to take over. Their strength suddenly increases, often unexpectedly, and people suffer big losses.
complex geographical environment.
Weird and confusing practice system.
There are also high-level beings such as demon kings, evil gods, and ancestral spirits who dominate the mountains and plains. This cave is really dangerous.
Be careful on your way.
Three months passed in a row, and Chen Jichuan and his group were walking and walking, and the straight-line distance from the starting point was only about six or seven thousand miles.
Finally arrived at Wuling Mountain.
