The Great Wild God - Chapter 245
Chapter 245 Devil Ruins
When Su Tang followed Su Fanglong to the Northern Mountain, Chen Xun was killing a one-horned viper in the mountain.
Chen Xun, Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, and Tie Xintong carried the one-horned viper weighing more than 10,000 jin back to the Dragon Flood Pool from the depths of the Absolute Mountain Range. Their bodies were wounded, and their spirit armors were broken. This battle was also extremely arduous.
When Su Fang Long saw the One Horned Viper, he smacked and cried out in surprise. He couldn’t help but reach out to touch the horn that was even more translucent than jade. “There’s actually such a powerful exotic beast in the depths of Python Fang Ridge …”
Viper was one of the python beasts, but the viper Chen Xun and the others had hunted was a mutated python beast. Although they hadn’t cultivated in the depths of Python Fang Ridge for a thousand years, the serpent head’s horn was even more precious than the Origin Core.
The quality of the Thunder Sound Spirit Sword that Chen Xun refined wasn’t any worse than the Thunder Meteorite Sword.
Although Chen Xun had refined a complete set of Lightning Sound Spirit Swords, his cultivation of Spirit Essence and Divine Soul was extremely limited. Other than the Thunder Meteorite Sword, the other eight Spirit Swords were all blank swords forged from crimson black gold, and could only be counted as rank 1 magical artifacts.
Even so, with Chen Xun’s current cultivation, the Imperial Thunder Sound Sword Formation could only activate three streaks of lightning.
He, Zong Ya, and the others entered the depths of Python Fang Ridge to hunt down desolate beasts. The main purpose was to clear up the dangers around the Dragon Creek Lake and smoothly collect materials for refining higher-quality Thunder Sound Spirit Swords in the future.
Seeing Su Tang standing there timidly, the sunset glow covered her face with a layer of flowing pill-like luster, becoming even more charming and beautiful. A warm feeling rose in her heart. She grinned and said, “Long time no see.”
Su Tang’s face was filled with shame, “There’s a disaster in the Northern Mountain, I can’t help you …”
Chen Xun smiled and said, “You can’t help it.”
Su Tang was not only one of the two most promising people in the Su Clan in the past hundred years, but also the Divine Bird Azure Luan. How could the Su Clan ask her to take a risk?
Qing Luan had just hatched and stood on Su Tang’s shoulder like a cyan-feathered eagle. She could not see the slightest bit of the elegance of a divine bird. She felt that Chen Xun gave it a strange feeling of kindness and tilted her neck to stare at Chen Xun’s face.
On the other side of the Dragon Creek Lake, a few bamboo houses were built along the Stone Stream for everyone to live and cultivate in.
Chen Xun invited Su Tang, Su Fanglong invited Zhu She to speak, and asked Zong Ya to invite Grandpa Zong Tu and Zuo Qingmu over.
Chen Xun would not stay in the North Mountain for long. The affairs of the North Mountain Alliance would mainly be handled by Zong Tu and Zuo Qingmu. Su Fanglong was representing the Azure Water School, so the affairs of the North Mountain and the Azure Water School were naturally still handled by Zong Tu. Zuo Qingmu talked to him.
Cai’er brought tea to everyone.
Cai’er, who was still young back then, had long since grown plump and charming. She came over to bow to Su Tang and Su Fanglong.
Cai’er couldn’t cultivate. She was a mortal woman. This was the time of her youth, but in a few years, she would die.
Chen Xun once told Zhao Tu that if there was a suitable family, he would let Cai’er marry him.
However, when Zhao Tu said this, he knelt outside in fear for a long time and refused to get up. Chen Xun dismissed this thought and left Cai’er to continue to serve in his courtyard.
Although he wouldn’t take Cai’er as his concubine, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to give her decades of wealth and glory. It might not be perfect if he insisted that she marry a mortal disciple.
As for Zhao Tu, he had worked hard for the Northern Mountain City for the past few years. Because he was unable to cultivate, his mind was also sensitive and fragile. Perhaps he was afraid that Cai’er’s status in the Northern Mountain City would slip a thousand feet after she married him.
********************
Su Fanglong came here mainly for the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Array and the Green Flame Lotus Arrow.
Although Su Shousi and the others didn’t interact directly in the battle with the Blood Sword Sect, there was no doubt about the role of the Su Clan. It was precisely because they were afraid of the Su Clan and the Blood Sword Sect that they didn’t dare to forcefully attack Blackrock Peak. That was why they told Beishan to seize the opportunity to turn the tables on them.
In addition, the Su Clan allowed Qianlan, Qingxuan, Ge Yi, and the others to leave the Azure Water School and bring the Four Pillars Mountain and River Formation to join the Northern Mountain. This was also an important factor that supported the Northern Mountain to the end.
Putting aside the grudges and grudges of the past, if Beishan wanted to gain a foothold in Python Fang Ridge and restrict its tribal and sectarian forces from entering the Lake Wasteland, many things depended on the Azure Water School.
“To be honest, the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Formation I can refine is actually built on the basis of the Four Pillars Mountain and River Formation. This matter has long been spread within the Divine Night Sect and is not top secret. I think the Marquis of Yuanwu Manor will restrict the Four Pillars Mountain and River Formation from flowing out. How many of the Four Pillars Mountain and River Formations does the Azure Water School have at this moment?” Chen Xun asked.
“There are only two left. Previously, we had been unable to figure out why the Marquis of Yuan Palace had cut off the supply of the Four Pillars Mountain and River Array. I didn’t expect it to be because of this.” Su Fanglong said honestly.
Chen Xun’s guess was the same.
The Su Clan occupied the main road of the Azure Water Rift Valley. Whether it was the materials that entered the Western Wilderness from the Cloud Continent or the materials that entered the Western Wilderness from the Cloud Continent, they had to go through the Su Clan first.
The Su Clan itself was limited in the amount of magical artifacts it could refine, and most of the magical artifacts and formations that were supplied to the Canglan Tribes were obtained from Mansion of Marquis Martial, so it was only a fraction of their profits.
Although the Four-Pillar Mountain and River Formation was only a small mountain protection formation, in the Azure Water Wilderness, there were spiritual acupoints and luxury to the point that there weren’t many tribes that could defend against the formation. Therefore, the Su Clan didn’t have much stock in their hands.
Mansion of Marquis Martial began to restrict the outflow of the Four-Pillar Mountain and River Array, which meant that Cang Lan could currently have up to four Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Arrays.
Chen Xun nodded and said to Su Fanglong,
‘”The Su Clan supported the Northern Mountain to defeat the Blood Sword Sect by luck. I will refine two Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Arrays and two hundred Green Flame Lotus Arrows for the Azure Water School as a reward. However, refining these arrows will take quite a bit of time. Elder Su, please return to Azure Water first. I will hand them over to Su Tang to bring back.”
At this moment, he was able to refine the Qi and Blood Origin Pill with the Returning Pill Technique. Taking the Qi and Blood Origin Pill would support him in refining the Spirit Gathering Restriction from beginning to end. Therefore, there was no need for a Heavenly Origin Realm expert to use the Spirit Crossing Secret Technique to help him.
Even if there weren’t any mistakes in the formation plate, restriction, and Qi and Blood Origin Pills, Chen Xun still needed three months to refine the Spirit Gathering Restriction that could merge with the Four Pillars Mountain and River Formation.
However, the basic spirit gathering restriction formation was created by Zuo Qingmu. As long as he had the Qi and Blood Origin Pill to compensate for his spirit energy consumption, Zuo Qingmu could also refine the spirit gathering restriction. He didn’t need to waste too much time on Chen Xun.
The only pity was that the reason why Chen Xun was able to comprehend the Cyan Flame Lotus Art from the Azure Phoenix Dharma Phase was that apart from his extraordinary perception, it was closely related to the Profound Ice Fire Lake’s abnormality formed by his spiritual sea.
Zuo Qingmu’s talent was not suitable for cultivating the Cyan Flame Lotus Technique.
Chen Xun couldn’t push the matter of refining the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow to Zuo Qingmu now, but he could get rid of the refinement of the blank arrow.
*******************
Chen Xun hadn’t fully comprehended the second layer of the Profound Evolution Technique, so he couldn’t repair the Yin Yang Qi Formation alone, but he wouldn’t forget about Chang Zhen, the old monster who had passed on the Profound Evolution Technique to him.
When everything in the Northern Mountain came to an end, Chen Xun, Su Tang, Jiang Xingyun, and Old Kui brought a bird and a fox back to the Frost Lake and entered the Void Origin Secret Hall.
Chang Zhen attached himself to a broken Star Iron Demon and walked out of the corridor with a creak. The aura of his soul became even more aged. Anyone could feel that his lifespan was about to expire. Perhaps they would never see each other again when they returned to the Void Origin Secret Hall again.
Jiang Bingxing had never expected that in the past few years, there would actually be two strands of ancient divine souls that had lived for more than 10,000 years with her. She hadn’t noticed it at all. Her beautiful face had turned deathly pale, and she didn’t know if she was afraid or resentful-Chen Xun couldn’t care less about asking her how she felt.
“Why haven’t we found a successor for True Monarch yet?” Chang Zhen’s temper was even more impatient than Old Kui’s, and he also felt that his lifespan was about to expire. He would return to the Heavenly River with the greatest regret, and he would become increasingly impatient.
Chen Xun shrugged. Old Kui had been hibernating in Azure Water for tens of thousands of years. He hadn’t selected a qualified successor to the secret hall. He only had six or seven years. How could he possibly accomplish this?
Old Kui told Chang Zhen about what had happened in the Northern Mountain and the situation in the Northern Mountain Alliance through his divine sense. Only then did the aura emitted from the Star Iron Demon Body soften slightly.
Chen Xun used his divine sense to show Chang Zhen how to refine the Green Flame Lotus Arrow and the Spirit Gathering Restriction.
‘”That’s right, you have some perception.” Chang Zhen’s voice was like a metal stroke, extremely ear-piercing. However, Chen Xun was proud to praise an old monster that had lived for twenty thousand years. “The Profound Derivation Technique is the general outline of our clan’s artifact forging. Although it doesn’t involve any specific magical artifact or spirit artifact cultivation method, almost all of the artifact forging laws are included in it,” Chen Xun said proudly. “It’s a pity that your cultivation is still too limited. I wonder if you’ll be able to comprehend the third and fourth layer of magic arts in a few hundred years’ time. At that time, you might be able to become a first-rate Grandmaster. Old Kui and I won’t be able to wait until that day.”
“It’s extremely difficult for mortals to increase their lifespan, but when it comes to returning embryos, even Heavenly Yuan xiuzhe have spiritual medicines to increase their lifespan,” Chen Xun asked. “Don’t you have any medicines that Cloud Continent can use to extend your lifespan?”
“It’s also easy for us to increase our lifespan. Take two Pure Yang Dao Artifacts and refine them for us. Perhaps we can increase our lifespan by another two to three thousand years. The question is, do you have any?” Chang Zhen asked.
Chen Xun shrugged and said, “The Divine Night Sect has a Pure Yang Dao Artifact. Why don’t you go steal it yourself?”
If Chang Zhen could roll his eyes, he would definitely roll them over for Chen Xun to see.
“The endless lifespan is also boundless loneliness. To be able to die and leave the protection of the secret hall to you is also a good result of me and Chang Zhen.” Old Kui let out a long sigh. He did not have the slightest expectation of increasing his lifespan.
Chen Xun was careful. If he really wanted to give the Pure Yang Dao Tool to Old Kui and Chang Zhen, it wasn’t just to increase their lifespan by two to three thousand years. At the same time, it also meant that their divine souls could recover to their peak.
When the souls of these two old monsters could recover to the peak of the Celestial Realm, even if their bodies were destroyed, there shouldn’t be much of a problem even in Cloud Continent.
The key question was, where would he steal the Pure Yang Dao Artifact, and how could he steal two of them?
“Oh right, there’s one more thing that I’ve been wanting to ask you. Do you know what’s going on in the Thousand Devil Realm?” Chen Xun asked.
Twenty years ago, there was a huge earthquake. The spatial rift in the Thousand Devil Realm appeared in the depths of Tu Shan Mountain, causing magical creatures and demonic beasts everywhere in Tu Shandong Ridge. Was there a deeper reason behind it? How could the spatial rift in the Thousand Devil Realm be sealed to prevent the demonic fiends from leaking into Tu Shan? Even the Divine Night Sect did not have the slightest bit of brows now, so they could only passively set up a blockade line in Meng Mountain.
Chen Xun thought of Old Kui. He had been hibernating in this land for ten thousand years, so he should know more secrets.
“Thousand Devil Realm?” Chang Zhen and Old Kui were both puzzled. In the past few years, they hadn’t been aware of the changes in the outside world beneath the cold lake. Furthermore, the enemies of the Thousand Devil Sect 4,000 years ago were far away from Cang Lan, so they didn’t know much about them.
Chen Xun told Chang Zhen and Old Kui everything that had happened in Tu Shan, as well as the devil fiend leaking into Tu Shan, the devil fiend alienation cultivated by a huge amount of demonic beasts, and the chaos of the Thousand Devil Sect 4,000 years ago.
“Devil Ruins!” Chang Zhen and Old Kui’s expressions changed drastically.
Even old monsters like Chang Zhen and Old Kui’s expressions changed when they heard this. Chen Xun’s heart immediately felt ominous. The catastrophe brought to Cloud Continent by the Thousand Demon Realm might not be as simple as a few Heavenly Demons and tens of thousands of demonic beasts.
