Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 187: Skeleton Demon Body - Obtaining Yin Fire Evil

The Qingxiao Sect is gone.

It happened so suddenly that no one was prepared.

Logically speaking, as one of the three major sects in Hezhou, it cannot exist for thousands of years, but there is absolutely no reason for it to disappear just like that.

But when Xiao Chen went against the flow of people and came to the outside of Qingxiao Mountain.

All I saw were heavy rocks rising steeply, the terrain opening up, and the water having nowhere to rest, floating in the air, which was a terrifying and dizzying sight.

A large amount of pitch-black demonic energy rushed into the sky, turning the area within a radius of ninety-nine miles into a demonic domain devoid of any spiritual energy.

As a result, the concentration of spiritual energy within a radius of two or three hundred miles is frighteningly low and is still slowly decreasing.

If there are no restrictions, it may become a barren wilderness in the future.

"This……"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He came to Hezhou and didn't have time to deal with the Qingxiao Sect.

He had never seen Shao Mingyou, the leader of the Qingxiao Sect who possessed a natural spiritual root and was recognized as a reserve for the Golden Core.

I have also not seen Qing Xiaozi, who is rumored to have formed the elixir through the way of wood, and the other two Jindan Zhenren.

Even the illustration of Qingxiao Waterfall that I had seen in "Hezhou Travel Notes" before has become extinct.

The scene before my eyes was real.

It seems that the Qingxiao Sect has indeed become history.

"So, if genius doesn't grow up, it will ultimately be vain."

Xiao Chen sighed and used this to warn himself.

In the past, almost everyone in Hezhou believed that Shao Mingyou would definitely form a golden elixir in the future and inherit the name of Qing Xiaozi.

Who could have imagined that such a change would occur.

Similarly, although he has Hextech enhancements, he has the hope of becoming an immortal in the future.

However, before truly becoming an immortal, one still needs to maintain a moderate sense of awe.

Specifically speaking, we must first figure out what the current situation is in Qingxiao Mountain?
Who is it or what force is it that can wipe out the Qingxiao Sect with such a lightning speed?

The White Bone Sect shouldn't have this ability. Xiao Chen was a little worried that a new force might be involved.

I just don’t know which side it is?
Before figuring out this matter, you must not rush in to look for the evil spirit, so as not to waste the Night's Edge in vain.

With the help of the "Sealing Acupoints and Concealing Breath Technique" to conceal his own breath, Xiao Chen stopped on a small hill more than fifty miles away.

I found a crevice on the top of the mountain as a hiding place and began to watch from a distance.

No matter what's going on here, there will definitely be more than just me coming to check it out.

Sure enough, not long after, he saw a group of people flying towards him on swords from afar, and they did not slow down at all after entering the Demon Realm.

He rushed straight into the newly formed Qingxiao Valley after Qingxiao Mountain split apart.

Soon, groups of Qi-refining monks were seen. Each of them had a simple storage bag tied around his waist and an extra-large bag on his back, transporting supplies into the valley.

Judging from their clothes, if nothing unexpected happens, they should all be demonic cultivators from the White Bone Sect.

This made Xiao Chen a little confused.

Could this be the masterpiece of the White Bone Sect?

It seems a bit unreasonable.

It is well known that the White Bone Sect does not have the Golden Elixir, so how can they get rid of the three Golden Elixir True Immortals of the Qingxiao Sect?

Although the bone giant is powerful, it can only be used to bully ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

In front of Jindan Zhenren, it is just a big toy.

The situation was still unclear, so Xiao Chen was not in a hurry. Instead, he hid quietly in the crevices of the rocks and waited patiently.

About two days later, two beams of light with astonishing speed finally streaked across the sky in the distance.

Then he began to wander around Qingxiao Valley, as if carefully exploring the situation in the valley.

The visitors were none other than True Man Qianzhu and True Man Mingyue.

As early as when True Man Mingyue was promoted to the Golden Core Realm, under the strenuous persuasion of True Man Yaohua, they secretly agreed to lend a helping hand to Lingyuan Sect and jointly fight against the Divine Fire Sect.

The two of them are different from other real people. They don’t have any inheritance to worry about or take care of.

Just set up a formation in Qianzhufang City to block the possible robbers.

They can move freely and are most suitable as ambushes or surprise troops.

But unfortunately, the battle at Huangquan Palace happened suddenly, and the righteous side was completely unprepared for a full-scale confrontation.

They originally just wanted to open a passage and rescue the foundation-building monks who were trapped inside.

Unexpectedly, the restrictions of the secret realm would completely collapse, and no one expected that the magic golden elixir led by Master Nie Jing would attack with all their strength regardless of the cost.

Therefore, they were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Divine Fire Sect.

True Man Qianzhu and True Man Mingyue did not have enough time to join the battle, and were forced to show up at Xunmei Mountain and Luoyan Mountain to assist in the defense.

What's worse is that Xunmei Mountain and Luoyan Mountain were not able to be defended.

In the end, Lingyuan Sect once again lost an important barrier.

Originally, if things had ended here, it would have been just a partial defeat.

As long as we can buy enough time for several Jindan Zhenren to recover from their injuries, we can still maintain the confrontation.

In such a critical situation, Lingyuan Sect even considered contacting Qingxiao Sect.

At this point, it would be better to give up some of the benefits and ask the Jindan Zhenren of the Qingxiao Sect to join forces to fight against the Shenhuo Sect.

If everything goes well, perhaps we can recapture Xunmei Mountain and Luoyan Mountain.

However, the development of the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

Almost at the same time as the defeat at Huangquan Palace, the Qingxiao Sect was also destroyed overnight.

The news was immediately passed back to Lingyuan Sect, and immediately shocked the other real people.

You know, the current generation of Wanhua Valley is already weak, with only two Jindan cultivators.

The Lingyuan Sect had just suffered a heavy blow.

As a result, Hezhou's strength suddenly weakened to the point where it was even inferior to Lizhou.

But the situation in Lizhou is not much better.

After coming out of the Huangquan Palace, Jin Jian Zhenren returned directly to Lizhou, forcing Ming Yan Zhenren to follow him back to Lihuomen to take charge.

The whole situation became precarious.

At this critical moment, Master Gongliang of the Tianji Pavilion, who had come to assist in the defense, suggested: "No matter what, we must first find out the reason for the demise of the Qingxiao Sect."

"First, we need to understand the situation so that we can respond in advance and avoid suffering losses again."

"Secondly, if we find out that it was the work of the Demon Cult, perhaps we can persuade Fellow Daoist Jin Jian and Fellow Daoist Ming Yan to come back."

In fact, many people have lost their trust in Jin Jian Zhenren, but for the sake of the overall situation, no one said much.

True Man Lei Yin was even more eager to draw a clear line with the Cang Yan Sect.

But he had no choice. With only a few of them around, he could only pretend not to care.

After some discussion, everyone agreed that it would be most appropriate for the neutral party, Master Qianzhu, to be responsible for the investigation.

When the time comes, he will be able to persuade Jin Jian Zhenren, which will make it easier for him to gain people's trust.

At the same time, considering the safety issues, although the manpower was extremely tight, they still sent Master Mingyue and Master Qianzhu to accompany them.
.
In Qingxiao Valley, in an extremely wide cave underground.

Gu Weiyuan, the leader of the White Bone Sect, was sitting on a huge altar at this time.

There were piles of white bones under his feet and drops of blood surrounding him.

As he breathed, the dense demonic energy from all directions actually rose and fell, as if the entire cave had become a part of his body.

"Hahaha, what abundant power!"

Feeling his unprecedented power, Gu Weiyuan couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Now that I have uncovered the mystery, I finally possess true great power."

The shrill laughter echoed underground, causing the White Bone Sect cultivators in the valley to feel a chill on their backs and their hairs standing on end.

"Elder, what exactly is going on here?"

A disciple who had reached the great perfection of Qi training, after emptying a large box of bones covered in blood, could not help but ask.

Even though I stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

But he could feel an inexplicable chill, and even felt that his bones were getting damp.

"Where the hell do you get all that crap from? Just do your job and don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."

The elder at the door widened his eyes, but he actually didn't know what was going on inside.

I don’t understand why the leader didn’t let others in to help.

Although everyone outside didn't understand what was going on, they still followed the instructions obediently.

He directed his disciples to throw the various spiritual materials that had been transported over into the cave, box by box.

It didn't take long before one could clearly feel that the indescribable strange and eerie atmosphere in the cave had become even stronger.

With the shield of demonic energy, the situation inside was strictly hidden.

True Man Mingyue and True Man Qianzhu's spiritual consciousness repeatedly explored, but they could only vaguely monitor the figures of cultivators coming in and out of the valley entrance.

But he knew nothing about the valley or even the cave.

"Brother, you stay outside and provide cover. I'll go down to the valley to check the situation."

Seeing this, Master Mingyue wanted to go in.

"No, this is too dangerous!"

True Man Qianzhu rejected the idea without hesitation: "Several fellow Jindan Daoists from the Qingxiao Sect are currently missing, and their fate is unknown. They are likely to have met with misfortune."

"Do you have one more life than them?"

Upon hearing this, Master Mingyue frowned, "But now the demonic energy has covered the entire valley. How can we investigate the situation without going inside?"

Master Qianzhu said, "Our mission is to investigate the situation. We can now confirm that the White Bone Sect was involved in this demonic disaster."

"As for the situation inside the fog, we can discuss other solutions after we return."

"With the relevant clues, the Tianji Pavilion will be able to predict good or bad luck. Let them do the work, and we shouldn't take any risks."

In fact, it is very difficult to tell fortunes based on just one clue.

But Master Qianzhu did not want to take the risk to collect more information.

The reason is just as he said before, the Jindan Zhenren of Qingxiao Sect is likely to have died, and they may not be safe now.

Firstly, True Man Mingyue had just been promoted to the Golden Elixir stage and secondly, he hated the evil cultivators.

Therefore, we want to put in more effort while ensuring safety.

So he looked around and suggested, "Brother, I see that the White Bone Sect is transporting spiritual objects."

"How about we intercept their supply shipments and observe their subsequent reactions?"

"This way, we can infer the situation inside based on the items, and perhaps even lure the enemy out."

This is a very good idea. Master Qianzhu thought about it and nodded.

He is also willing to do more in less dangerous situations.

He just emphasized: "Then let's step back a little to intercept the supplies, and remember not to get within ten miles of Qingxiao Mountain."

The two agreed on a good idea and immediately split up to hunt down the demon cultivation team that was transporting supplies on the ground.

It didn't take long before all supplies were basically cut off.

The abnormality outside quickly attracted the attention of people in Qingxiao Valley.

However, after a group of foundation-building demon cultivators lost several lives and discovered that there were two Jindan cultivators lurking outside, they all retreated again.

Many of them had the holy medicine that Gu Weiyuan had distributed in advance, and most of them were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Holy Church at any time.

But it was unrealistic to expect the Bone Giant to fight against the Golden Core True Man. Even the most fanatical believers would not be willing to die in vain.

When they retreated, Gu Weiyuan in the cave suddenly discovered that the supply of spiritual objects had stopped.

"Why are my bones gone? Where are my bones?"

He immediately controlled his eyes to fly out and look around, and saw the demon cultivator hiding in the valley.

"You're all useless. You can't even do such a small thing. What use am I having you for?"

"Since there are no bones, I'll use you to replace them!"

As he finished speaking, a large amount of hair suddenly flew out of the cave.

Each one found a demon cultivator, instantly strangled the target's neck and dragged it into the cave.

Seeing this, many Qi-refining monks struggled desperately.

Some people even drew their flying swords to try to fight back.

However, the faces of the surrounding foundation-building demon cultivators all showed fanaticism.

They chanted collectively: "Death is not the end, but my rebirth. The time has come to sacrifice myself for the Holy Church. Do not resist, do not resist!"

As he repeated the words, he knocked the magical weapons of the Qi-refining cultivators away one by one.

Then he took the initiative to come to the entrance of the cave, waiting to be killed.

Many of the White Bone Sect's demonic cultivators who had reached the great perfection of Qi training only woke up from their dreams at this moment.

I understand why every cultivator in the sect needs to go to the leader to receive so-called "teaching" before building the foundation.

But it was obviously too late for them to realize it, and they were simply unable to resist at this point.

Soon, all the demon cultivators in Qingxiao Valley were pulled into the cave.

All the bones in his body were stripped off and became part of the altar.

"Why are my bones gone? Where are my bones?"

Gu Weiyuan couldn't find any fresh bones, and he immediately became anxious: "Where are the bones? That's right, there must be bones outside!"

"I'm going to go outside and look for bones!"

He immediately "stood up" and walked outside.

The huge bone altar suddenly deformed, and twelve pillars extended from the bottom.

In an instant, it broke through the cave and came directly to Qingxiao Valley.

Despite being surrounded by heavy demonic energy, it still relied on its instinct to immediately lock onto the three people outside.

"White bones! No, there are also jade bones, it's jade bones!"

After taking a look at the place where Xiao Chen was hiding, Gu Weiyuan's "sight" was immediately attracted by the two Jindan Zhenren.

"Leave the jade bone, it's mine, mine!"

While shouting, he "reached out" to grab the two Jindan Zhenren in front of him.
.
For Gu Weiyuan, although there are some changes in his body now, they are probably normal changes after forming a pill.

Overall, powerful force surges in the body and can be controlled at will.

He felt more comfortable than ever before, and longed for more and stronger power from the bottom of his heart.

To achieve this goal, we need more bones, more bones and better quality bones.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Weiyuan at this time had completely lost his human form.

Instead, it turned into a super altar supported by twelve pillars and made of piles of bones.

It is a hundred feet in diameter, and its surface is covered with densely packed eyeballs, hair and fingers.

It made an inaudible, shrill cry that gave people a splitting headache and the desire to smash their own skulls.

"Oh no! It's the legendary demonic body that has descended upon the world. Junior brother, hurry up and leave!"

Zhenren Qianzhu shouted immediately and hurriedly fled on his flying light, with no intention of fighting at all.

On the other side, Master Mingyue was a little surprised. Judging from the aura alone, the monster on the altar opposite was just entering the Golden Core stage.

Why is Senior Brother Qianzhu so nervous?

But he did not act on his own initiative. Instead, he suppressed his confusion and followed the escape.

Once you get to a safe place, you will naturally get the answers slowly.

"The devil's body descended into the world?"

Xiao Chen also heard the shouts of Master Qianzhu, and immediately remembered that he had read relevant records in the Lingyuan Sect's Sutra Library.

When I looked up information about demonic disasters at that time, it was mentioned that a demonic body had appeared in the southern region 214,000 years ago.

It is emphasized that it is invincible unless several Jindan Dayuan masters work together.

Any act of disregarding the demon body will only increase the difficulty of dealing with it in the future.

It was also emphasized that although the Demonic Body consumed a lot of resources to be promoted, there was no bottleneck in the Demonic Body.

As long as there are enough resources, one can quickly climb to the late Jindan stage or even the Yuanying stage.

As for the specific resources, it depends on the different types of demon bodies.

Xiao Chen looked outside and it was obvious that this demon body would require a lot of bones.

"Dong dong dong~!"

The altar was so heavy that when it was moved, the surrounding mountains shook.

All Gu Weiyuan could see was Yu Gu running away in the distance, so he immediately chased after her with all his might in an attempt to catch up with her.

However, because there were too many eyeballs, a floating eyeball once again swept over the position where Xiao Chen was.

"White bones? No. Golden bones? No."

Gu Weiyuan did not stop, but just wanted to grab the strange bone and taste it.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, several strands of hair rushed towards him.

Something is wrong, is it coming towards me?

Xiao Chen looked at the hair coming straight towards him and realized at that moment that he was exposed.

Although his "Sealing Acupoints and Concealing Breath Technique" was extremely effective with the help of Hextech, it was still not enough for a Jindan Zhenren, let alone a demon body.

He struggled a little with the help of a top-grade magic weapon.

Before he could escape, he was tied up like a dumpling by more strands of hair.

Then the Edge of Night was triggered.

Speaking of which, this Hex was a really good choice, saving him several times.

"Bones? Bones!"

Gu Weiyuan was stunned for a moment when he felt the disappearing bones, but then driven by instinct, he continued to chase Master Qianzhu and Master Mingyue in the distance.

"Dong dong dong~!"

As the earth shook and the mountains trembled, the huge altar moved away to the north.

As he left, the surrounding demonic energy lost its restraints.

It began to spread rapidly into the distance, and gradually faded after colliding with the spiritual energy.

A breeze blew by, revealing Qingxiao Valley, or now it should be called Qingxiao Valley, where a large cave collapsed.

Soon, Xiao Chen was the only one left within a hundred miles.

"Hey, this cave should contain the Qingxiao Sect's former main spiritual vein, right?"

Now that the hidden danger has run away, isn't this place safe?
It turned out that my waiting outside at the beginning was worth it. Now I have found a bargain.

Xiao Chen continued to wait patiently for another hour.

Until the evil energy in the cave dissipated and it was confirmed that there were no other people hiding inside.

Then he drilled into the earth veins along the cave and began to look for the rumored evil spirit.

It took a full hour to walk through the winding cave.

Xiao Chen felt that he had gone at least dozens of miles underground. This place was completely different from the above and was basically unaffected.

We bypassed the stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave and crossed an underground river to reach deeper depths.

The view inside suddenly became clear and the scenery became more spectacular.

A giant stone curtain stretched across both sides like a sky curtain, with stalagmites standing in rows, and a faint smell of sulfur began to permeate the air.

At the same time, the initial damp feeling gradually faded away, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.

Soon it reached a level comparable to the inner side of the Yanchi Secret Realm.

The only difference or weird thing is that there is not even a trace of anger here.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Xiao Chen immediately activated the secret exploration technique that came with the "Xuantian Secret Method of Taking Medicine" and began to search carefully around the area.

The search lasted three full days.

After a long and complicated investigation, they finally found a completely enclosed cave at the bottom of the completely exhausted main spiritual vein.

Using spiritual sense to probe into the rock wall, he found that the space inside was not small, at least thirty feet in radius.

"I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and finally I found it."

Xiao Chen first took a nap against the rock wall for three hours to regain his energy.

Then he gently dug a finger-sized hole on the rock wall with his bare hands.

"Peng~!"

It was like a balloon was punctured, and a large amount of evil energy that was invisible to the naked eye and could not be detected by spiritual sense gushed out rapidly through the hole.

With the help of the secret technique, Xiao Chen saw balls of dark purple flames rushing towards his cheeks.

Its momentum is fierce, and the flames are surging;
The purple light is shining and the heat is rising.

It’s You Yansha!
And it is the Yin Fire Evil that he urgently needs!

Xiao Chen did not dare to delay and hurriedly used all his strength to practice the "Xuantian Secret Method of Taking Medicine" to absorb all the outflowing evil energy into his body.

Maybe there was too much evil energy accumulated inside, and it took three days and three nights to collect it.

Even though he was a cultivator, he was still very tired after practicing the secret technique for such a long time and at such a high intensity.

Fortunately, I rested for three hours before, otherwise I would have almost collapsed.

"Finally done!"

Xiao Chen absorbed all the evil energy and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, using his spiritual sense to look inward, he saw that a brand new Yin Fire Seal had already condensed and taken shape in his Dantian.

And it has overlapped with the previous Yang Fire Seal.

The two formed an extremely mysterious pattern, which made him fascinated at first sight.

He stood there for a long time before coming to his senses.

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful!"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but admire: "I wonder what realm the Immortal Palace Master who created this secret technique had reached."

It is no exaggeration to say that in the pattern just now, he seemed to see the shapes of all the flames he had ever seen in his life.

"Of course, the most important thing is that the Yin Fire Demon is already in place."

"As long as you comprehend the Way of Wood, you can attempt to reach the Golden Core!"

　2025 is coming soon, I wish you all a happy new year.
