Chapter 580: The Three Pure Ones Demon Well

Zhang Xian smiled and said, "How can I know the whereabouts of such a being? Fellow Daoist Chen, this position of general should have been yours, but the higher-ups issued an order for me to temporarily take over the position of general. I have tried to refuse again and again but failed. I hope you won't blame me."

He is a real fairyland, but he is very polite and courteous to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "The bet between Yin Fenglou and I was just a joke, so don't take it seriously. Even if he loses, he can't decide who to appoint as the general."

What's more, Yin Fenglou is dead.

Zhang Xian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking, "Chen Shi is not an unreasonable person. I wonder why he must kill Yin Fenglou?"

He was quite puzzled. Logically speaking, Chen Shi had just ascended to heaven and came to heaven to serve as a celestial soldier. He was unfamiliar with the place and should not have had a conflict with the general.

Chen Shi angered Yin Fenglou and killed him in public, which was strange in itself. But what was even stranger was that Chen Shi was released after being thrown into the prison.

"He must have a very powerful backer behind him!"

Zhang Xian's eyes flickered, and he thought, "Most likely the position of the general of the Fire Camp was left to him by that patron, but he's in jail, so it's my turn. I have to be careful, lest I offend him and get killed by him."

Thinking of this, he became even more polite to Chen Shi.

"Legend has it that after the establishment of the Haotian Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace was separated from the Ancestral Land, and the immortals and mortals were divided. The Haotian Heavenly Palace rose up and opened up the Earthly Immortal Realm."

Zhang Xian said, "At that time, the Earthly Immortal Realm was still a barren wasteland, and the Xuanhuang Sea was still dark. The immortals and the Heavenly Court worked hard to open up the darkness and eliminate the evil spirits, and gradually the later Earthly Immortal Realm was formed. The myriad worlds in the Xuanhuang Sea were all opened up since then, and they were originally places where people could not live. Huanxian Valley is one of them."

They entered Huanxian Valley. Although the word "Valley" was in this place, it had basically nothing to do with a valley. Instead, it was a basin, hundreds of thousands of miles wide, comparable to Xiniuzhou.

The basin is surrounded by mountains, some of which are upside down, and they must be the sects of immortals.

Zhang Xian continued, "Legend has it that this place was originally a marshland with a basin full of water. People thought this was where immortals bathed, so they called it Huanxian Valley. But immortals also came from mortals through cultivation, so why would they need such a large bathtub?"

Bai Fangfang asked, "Where is the water in Huanxian Valley?"

"It is said that there was a high immortal who followed the Three Pure Ones. He waved his finger and the mountains were split apart, and a flood of water poured out from the mountains."

Zhang Xian pointed to two mountains in the distance and said, "Those two mountains are the mountains that Gao Xian split with his sword. They are called Jianmen."

When everyone looked, they saw that the mountain was extremely thick and tall, but it was divided into two halves in the middle, and the cross-section was extremely neat.

"The power of the immortal is extraordinary." Everyone was amazed.

There were lakes of various sizes in Huanxian Valley, which should have been left after the water was released that year. Chen Shi checked the traces on the nearby mountains and found many burn marks and claw marks left by battles, as well as traces left by sharp weapons. He thought they were left by the Three Purities when they were refining the demon.

There is a country built by mortals in Huanxian Valley, with villages and fortresses everywhere. The people cultivate fertile fields, raise silkworms, grow crops and weave, and engage in trade, just like in the mortal world.

Chen Shi sensed it carefully, and his heart was slightly moved: "The cultivators here are far inferior to those in Xiniuzhou, and they are not worthy of the name of the Earthly Immortal Realm."

There are a lot of cultivators in Xiniu New Island. As long as they reach the age of studying, they can be sent to the official school to study and have the possibility of becoming a cultivator. Although Huanxian Valley is in the earthly immortal world, it is still ruled by sects. If you want to practice, unless you are a descendant of an aristocratic family, you can only join a sect to practice.

Zhang Xian led his people to the capital of Huanxian State. The king hurriedly led the civil and military officials to greet them and asked, "Why did the angel come?"

Chen Shi saw that the king was also an immortal with strong abilities. He had already reached the celestial immortal realm and had accumulated powerful cultivation. There were also many immortals in the court, both civil and military.

Zhang Xian said: "According to the order of the emperor, check whether there is any great demon in Huanxian Valley."

The king hesitated for a moment and said, "Some time ago, something strange did happen, but I don't know if it was the appearance of a demon. In Tiexi Town, the wind roared at night and lasted all night, mixed with the sound of iron chains rattling, and thunder and lightning. The people of Tiexi Town didn't dare to come out to check, and only went to check at dawn, and found a huge pit outside Tiexi Town, several miles in radius, and no one knew how deep it was."

Zhang Xian's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Please, Lord, take us there to have a look."

The king did not dare to disobey, so he ordered all the civil and military officials to withdraw, and only took a few officials who had achieved the celestial fairyland with him, and personally led the way for them, flying towards Tiexi Town.

Chen Shi asked, "Lord, after you found the big pit, didn't you send anyone to check it out?"

"went."

The king said, "I... I sent some monks and our Huanxian Kingdom's Grand Marshal Hong Qiushui to take charge, but they have been gone for a few days and have not returned yet."

Tiexi Town was not too far away, and after more than an hour, they arrived at the tiankeng outside Tiexi Town.

The tiankeng is about four miles wide. Looking down, it is dark and deep, with no end in sight.

Dai Qingxi raised a flame, and the flame turned into a red bird, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky, flying towards the ground.

Everyone waited for a moment, only to see that the Flame Vermilion Bird had turned into a small dot of light, but still hadn't flown to the bottom of the pit.

"My magical power is called Que Ling Zhan. It can fly three thousand miles without any reduction in power."

Dai Qingxi frowned and said, "I'm afraid this sinkhole is much deeper than we expected."

Zhang Xian said, "If you want to know what's going on down there, we have to go down and take a look. Fire Camp, listen up. The odd-numbered teams in each team will stay behind to prepare for the response, and the even-numbered teams will follow me down into the tiankeng."

The Fire Camp had 24 teams, each with 50 people. Chen Shi, Hei Guo and others were in an odd-numbered team, so they stayed behind to provide support. ——Hei Guo also had a quota for a Heavenly Soldier in the Fire Camp.

Zhang Xian counted the team, and immediately each of them used sword energy to protect their bodies and flew down along the sinkhole.

The fairy light emanated from their heads, illuminating the walls. Even if they flew more than a thousand miles, their figures were still clearly visible. However, as they flew downward, they became increasingly blurry. Finally, Zhang Xian and hundreds of other heavenly soldiers also became smaller and smaller, like the magical power of Que Ling Zhan, and gradually became unclear.

The remaining people floated in the air and looked nervously into the depths of the tiankeng.

Chen Shi looked around, and at this moment, a thick chain more than ten miles away came into his sight.

The chain extended from the inside of the mountain, hung on the cliff, and hung down to the ground, with one end buried underground. It was unknown how long it was.

Not far from Tiexi Town, some strange and huge architectural ruins came into his sight, giving him a familiar feeling.

He looked around and found that there were more than one mountain with chains in the mountain. There were often chains on other mountains around Tiexi Town, and there must be ancient architectural ruins exposed nearby!

These mountains, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin, some far, some near, stand around Tiexi Town.

Judging from the direction in which the chain on the mountain extends, the center of the chain is the sinkhole.

Chen Shi flew up and came to a chain. Seeing this, Hei Guo hurriedly followed him.

"Black Pot, I have seen these chains and buildings in the dark sea before." Chen Shi carefully examined the chains, his eyes flickering, and whispered, "At that time, my godmother and I took a willow-leaf boat across the sea to find the Fusang tree. On the way, I fought with sea monsters. My magical power penetrated into the deep sea and illuminated the bottom of the sea. Then I saw thick chains interlaced in the sea. Those chains are like this."

There are ancient buildings in the sea, built on these chains. In addition, there are sea monsters, each of which stands on the chains.

The chains and buildings here are very similar to what he saw in the sea.

Black Pot pulled the chain, and the chain was buried deep underground, and the buildings were also buried deep in the earth.

It stood up and revealed its true form, but it had restrained its demonic energy and demonic fire. It stood up, its muscles distorted, and grabbed the chain, pulling it with all its might.

"Clap clap clap!"

The earth was shaking, the ground was constantly being lifted up, and the ancient buildings connected by chains were also pulled out by the brute force of the black pot!

There was not just one building, but three buildings were buried underground and were also pulled out by Black Pot's supreme brute force.

Chen Shi thought to himself: "Black Pot's strength is far greater than mine, no wonder he can wield the Iron Ruler so vigorously. The Iron Ruler probably doesn't intend to return it to me..."

Hei Guo dragged the chain backwards and kicked hard, while Chen Shi flew up and flew forward along the chain that broke out from the ground. The chain kept shaking the surface of the ground and breaking the rocks. Chen Shi followed the chain all the way to the tiankeng.

"Wow!"

There was a violent shaking sound, and an extremely thick chain was pulled out from the wall of the tiankeng. The chain went straight into the ground, and no one knew how long it was!
The other heavenly soldiers were surprised when they saw this and came closer to take a look.

Chen Shi shouted, "There are similar chains on the surrounding mountains. Teams, go ahead and pull them out!"

Bai Fangfang, Xiao Dulu and others flew over immediately. A group of immortals each summoned their own spirits, tugged at the chains, and pulled hard. Their strength was far less than that of Hei Guo, but a team of fifty immortals worked together and easily pulled the chains out from deep in the earth!
After a while, everyone gathered at the edge of the deep pit again and looked down, only to see chains emerging from the wall of the pit and reaching deep into the ground.

"Have General Zhang Xian and his men discovered these chains?" Xiao Dulu asked.

Zhong Lin shook his head and said, "Most likely not. When they went down, the chains were buried deep in the pit wall. If they had noticed, they would have pulled them out long ago."

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "Black pot."

Hei Guo knew what he was thinking. He came to the tiankeng and pulled a chain hard, pulling it out of the tiankeng little by little.

Soon, the chains behind Hei Guo piled up into an iron mountain, and more chains were constantly pulled out by Hei Guo.

The chain rattled, and after being pulled for an unknown period of time, it became lighter and lighter, until finally, the entire chain was pulled out completely.

Chen Shi examined the broken end of the chain and saw that it had a long and narrow oblique surface. The cut was extremely smooth, as if it had been finely polished.

Zhong Lin came over, observed it, and said, "It's the cross section of Hunyuan Sword Qi!"

He activated the sword case on his back, and a stream of Hunyuan sword energy flew out, cutting the chain with a clang, sparks splashed, and only a shallow mark was left on the chain.

Zhong Lin shook his head and said, "My attainments in the Hunyuan Sword Scripture are not enough to cut the chains."

Bai Fangfang, Xiao Dulu and the others all raised their own Hunyuan sword energy, activated the Hunyuan Taoist scriptures, and controlled the sword energy to cut at the chains, but they saw that the sword energy fell on the chains without leaving even a trace.

Chen Shi also activated the Hunyuan sword energy and performed the second move of the sword manual, Fenghou Canci.

As the sword flew out, the truth that wind blows across the earth, the warm wind greens the south bank of the river, and the chilly north wind withers all things suddenly emerged in his mind. He realized that the wind conditions vary, and all things wither and flourish. He understood the mystery of this move thoroughly in an instant!
This move originally contained the mystery of the operation of the heavenly way. Even if he had made some achievements, he could not fully understand the wonderfulness of this move for a while. But at this moment, for some reason, he actually realized the supreme truth contained in this move!

"Ding!"

This sword was extremely powerful. When the sword light fell, the chain was cut by him, leaving only a smooth cut!

Chen Shi was extremely surprised: "Could it be the effect of Tianji Ce's mark?"

Hearing the exclamations of other heavenly soldiers all around, Chen Shi calmed himself, said a few humble words, and met Zhong Lin's gaze.

Zhong Lin retracted his gaze, carefully examined the two cut surfaces, and said, "It is indeed the cut surface of the Hunyuan Sword Qi. The person who cut the chain is no ordinary person. His cultivation has already cultivated the Hunyuan Dao Sutra to an extremely high level, at least to the realm of the Golden Immortal."

Having said that, he glanced at Chen Shi again.

Chen Shi said: "I am not a golden immortal, but I can cut the chains."

Zhong Lin looked at him deeply and said, "Maybe Daoist Chen is a Golden Immortal."

Xiao Dulu said with a smile: "Daoyou Chen is in the West Heaven and everyone has seen it, how could he be a Golden Immortal? Daoyou Zhong, I'm afraid you guessed wrong."

Everyone agreed.

Suddenly, Bai Fangfang said, "The man who cut the chains used the Hunyuan Dao Sutra, the sword energy he used was the Hunyuan Sword Qi, and the sword technique was most likely the Hunyuan Sword Sutra. So, could he be from our Heavenly Army Camp?"

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell all around.

Zhong Lin broke the silence and said, "The people in the Heavenly Soldiers Camp can't do it, but the governor who is in charge of a Heavenly Soldiers camp may have the ability to cut the chains."

He looked at the tiankeng and said in a deep voice, "If my guess is correct, this should be the demon refining well left by the Three Pure Ones, with a demon trapped in the well. The demon refining well was originally buried deep underground, and no one knew its location, but it was found not long ago. Someone dug through the tiankeng at night, went deep underground, cut off the chains that locked the demon, and released the demon. Under the guidance of this person, the demon attacked the Heavenly Palace, killed the Heavenly Secret Guard, and smashed the Heavenly Secret Strategy, a magical treasure of the Heavenly Dao. And this person is among the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals under the Heavenly King."

Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they heard this.

"He did this kind of thing, it seemed secretive, but it couldn't be hidden from anyone who was interested."

Zhong Lin said, "After the Heavenly Secret Strategy was destroyed, he had no time to leave the Heavenly Palace, but if he was smart, he would definitely take the time to come back here and clean up the Demon Refining Well and the chains."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from afar: "Is the one in front under the command of Zhang Xian of the Fire Battalion? The commander of the Geng and Chen Battalions, Wu Guanyun, is here for inspection."

Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, and their eyes were filled with despair.

Chen Shi said calmly, "Everyone, keep calm."

Xiao Dulu's face turned pale and he stammered, "Commander Wu is here to clean up the traces of the crime scene. We will definitely be killed by them. How can we remain calm?"

Chen Shi frowned slightly and said, "Black pot."

Hei Guo understood and his consciousness swept over everyone in an instant.
