I can gather experience beads

After a burst of transmission waves.

Cao Rui's figure appeared in a deep canyon.

Looking down, the Tianji Fortress was disguised as a moss-covered boulder, lying quietly at the bottom of the abyss, like a boulder hovering at the bottom of the canyon.

Baby Tianji is bound by the Tianji Fortress and cannot come out. He is still inside the Tianji Fortress.

Separated by the fortress, Cao Rui lost contact with baby Tianji.

However, the two cannot communicate.

But the baby Tianji can see the situation outside, so Cao Rui agrees on a secret signal with him. If he stands here again and jumps three times, the baby Tianji will activate the teleportation array and send him into the Tianji Fortress.

"Qingzhou, one of the thirteen ancient states, has an incredibly dense spiritual energy." Cao Rui stood here and sensed the spiritual energy surging from the surroundings. It was not much different from that of some cultivation caves in Yunzhou.

He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh and rich spiritual energy, and a sense of anticipation surged in his heart.

He knew that such an environment was an extremely valuable resource for cultivators. The number of cultivators in Qingzhou's cultivation world in such an environment might be ten or even a hundred times that of Yunzhou's cultivation world.

"I wonder what the power distribution is like in Qingzhou's immortal cultivation world now." Cao Rui pondered to himself.

He was full of curiosity about the world of immortal cultivation here and wanted to know more about it.

After all, only by being familiar with the local immortal cultivation forces can one better integrate into them and even find the trace of the teleportation array.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui decided to leave this canyon temporarily and try to find other immortal cultivation forces to contact.

He patted his storage bag and summoned the golden sword.

He stepped onto the golden sword and chanted a spell. Suddenly, the golden sword turned into a ray of golden light and carried him into the air.

Flying in the air with the sword, Cao Rui felt the air around him becoming thinner, but at the same time he could also feel the rich spiritual energy more clearly.

He controlled the flying sword and quickly left the canyon, flew into the clouds, and flew towards the distance.

"Ok?"

After flying for a while, Cao Rui suddenly realized something was wrong.

His mood suddenly became extremely irritable.

The magic power in the body is even stirring.

"There's something wrong with the spiritual energy here." Cao Rui quickly noticed the problem.

The absorption of external spiritual energy was suspended.

At the same time, inside the Tianji Fortress, baby Tianji cried out "Ouch".

"Oops, I forgot to tell Cao Rui."

"Why is there suddenly more demonic energy in the spiritual energy of Qingzhou?"

The Tianji Fortress needs to absorb external spiritual energy to replenish itself, and will naturally analyze the composition and properties of the external spiritual energy.

"Demon energy is very difficult for cultivators to deal with. Cao Rui, you'd better come back to the fortress as soon as you can after this month," Tianji baby thought.

......

On the other hand, Cao Rui naturally couldn't tell what that strange extra energy in the spiritual energy was.

I just felt that after this energy was integrated into the magic power, it had an impact on my whole body and even my mind.

And the situation is developing in a negative direction.

This was not good news for Cao Rui, who always liked to remain rational.

"Hmm? Are there any monks approaching?"

Cao Rui sensed that there was a figure flying towards him at a rapid speed.

His flying speed is not slower than Cao Rui who wields the golden sword.

"Something is wrong. This person exudes a strange energy all over his body."

Cao Rui frowned tightly. His spiritual sense could clearly feel that this person was moving very fast. He had even turned into a black light and was rushing straight towards him.

Cao Rui immediately patted the storage bag on his waist, and the other four magic swords also came out of the storage bag. Then he took out the third-level Zerg Wings and equipped it on his back.

"Fellow Daoist in front, is there anything I can help you with?" Cao Rui used his spiritual sense to ask the person who came, but the other party did not give any answer.

Cao Rui no longer hesitated and directly drove five magic swords towards the man.

The five magic swords instantly turned into five sword lights, slashing in a fan shape in front of the man! "Why don't you stop?" Cao Rui was a little surprised, but what happened next shocked him even more.

The man's body was flashing with black light, and the magic sword that hit him was like hitting some thick substance.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Rui felt the mournful cry from the magic sword, and the black light actually quickly penetrated the magic power and began to erode the blade of the magic sword!

Cao Rui's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly used the magic formula to try to recall the five magic swords. However, all this happened too suddenly, catching him off guard.

“The cultivators from the Qingqiong Realm… are so weak…” Just as Cao Rui was nervously trying to recall the magic sword, a low and hoarse voice reached his ears.

The voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

At this moment, Cao Rui finally heard clearly what the figure said.

However, he was confused because the language was very different from the modern Chinese he was familiar with.

He couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to find out where this mysterious creature came from.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Rui carefully observed the other person's appearance.

The person in front of him could barely be called a human. He was tall and sturdy, at least over two meters tall. Bald head, hairless body, grayish-white skin and light blue eyes, these unique features shocked Cao Rui.

He was especially horrified when he noticed the four sharp teeth exposed between the man's tightly closed lips.

Coupled with the plain black robe he was wearing, he seemed even more mysterious.

"Demons?" Cao Rui's heart was shocked, and the records about a mysterious humanoid race that he had read in ancient books emerged in his mind.

The origin of the legendary demons is no longer traceable.

Some people believe that they are a branch of the human race, while others firmly believe that they are alien races. However, no matter what, there seems to be an inherent hostility between the demons and the immortal cultivators.

The depth of this hostility even surpassed the conflict between immortal cultivators and demon cultivators. In comparison, the fight between immortal cultivators and demon cultivators could probably be put aside for the time being.

""

The demons are usually located in the demon world, and through coincidence, they can discover the world of immortal cultivation.

Every time the demons invade, it is a huge disaster for the world of immortal cultivation.

According to records, there have been three major wars between demons in history, but there have been no demon invasions since the ancient times.

When Cao Rui saw the demons at this time, did it mean that the fourth demon war was about to begin?

"The strange energy dissolved in the spiritual energy in the air must be the demonic energy."

"If I absorb too much demonic energy, there's a risk of transforming into a demon!" Thinking of this, Cao Rui wanted to leave this imperial land immediately.

However, the teleportation array of Tianji Fortress will not be open for another month.

"Die!" Without waiting for Cao Rui to think more, the demon warrior continued to rush towards Cao Rui fiercely.

Cao Rui had been waiting for his attack. He waved his hand, and the five sword lights flying back instantly merged together and turned into a dazzling sword light!

"Five swords in one!"

Swoosh! The sword light suddenly turned back and slashed out at a faster speed. This time, with an unexpected sneak attack, the sword light directly penetrated the body of the demon warrior!
