Longevity begins with alchemy master

Inside the magnetic longitudinal light shuttle.

The three figures stood silently, each with a tense expression.

Kong Chan and Liu Jun only breathed a sigh of relief after easily crossing the Yuanci Mountain Path.

"As expected of the Yuanmo Sect's secret weapon for entering and exiting the Night Demon Heaven back then, this Yuan Magnetic Vertical Light Shuttle is very slow outside, but it is invincible inside the Yuan Magnetic Aurora." Kong Chan praised.

Liu Jun smiled and nodded: "Next is the Soul-Locking Array set up by the Soul Refining Ancestor. However, that array was basically broken after I destroyed the Three Gorges Array Eye and drew in the power of the Sea of ​​Sinking."

Kong Chan did not deny this point. If it weren't for the great contribution made by the Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun back then, the demons of the North Sea would have been trapped in the Night Demon Heaven for who knows how long.

Next, as long as we return to the Night Sky and channel the power accumulated in the Sea of ​​Sinking for thousands of years back, we will have the opportunity to open the Land of Fallen Demons ahead of schedule.

At that time, he will be able to find the method to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within it.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the two people beside him without leaving a trace.

These two are still useful now, but once they enter the Land of Fallen Demons... wait?

Kong Chan looked at the fat man with a puzzled expression.

"Tai Sui, what's wrong with you?"

Tai Sui frowned. "It's nothing, I just feel inexplicably uneasy."

Liu Jun chuckled: "Fellow Daoist Tai Sui, are you being too nervous? We have already passed the Arctic Demon Sealing Formation and the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Road. The road ahead is wide open."

Tai Sui shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I always have a feeling of unease, as if someone is watching us in the dark."

Upon hearing this, the other two also became serious.

"Could it be the person who opened the great formation and sneaked in earlier?"

"It's possible. Anyone who dares to force their way into the Arctic Demon-Sealing Formation is definitely not weak, even if the Demon-Sealing Formation hasn't recovered to its peak state yet! The last person who dared to break into this formation was that madman."

"In my opinion, that person shouldn't be as strong as the madman, otherwise why would he sneak into the formation?"

"No matter what, we still need to be careful!"

After a brief conversation, the three of them perked up.

The Yuan Magnetic Vertical Light Shuttle pierced through the wind and snow, quickly passing through the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Path.

Shortly after they left, a hazy, indistinct figure slowly followed them; it was Xiaobai.

She cautiously trailed behind, her aura perfectly concealed, and thanks to the advantageous terrain, she remained undetected by the three people in front.

Soon, she also passed through the Yuanci Mountain Path.

The moment I entered Yamaten, a feeling of being restrained arose spontaneously.

Xiao Bai glanced back and saw that there were still some residual array power at the entrance.

"Is this a remnant of the Hundred Million Souls Locking Demon Array that the Soul Refining Ancestor set up before his death? I wonder where those souls went after the array was broken?"

Xiao Bai seemed to be deep in thought, but he did not stop walking and truly stepped into the Arctic Night Sky.

What I saw gave me a sense of disorientation.

The glaciers stretch as far as the eye can see, layer upon layer.

The frigid temperature was so intense that even one's soul felt chilled to the bone.

In the distance, however, there are towering mountains that pierce the clear sky. Standing on those mountains, it feels as if the sky is within reach.

This is the Northern Night Demon Realm, the mountain gate of the Yuanmo Sect!

A look of shock crossed Xiaobai's eyes before he stepped onto the glacier.

Beneath their feet lay rows of frozen corpses, some human, some beasts, with countless limbs and broken bones. Some of the better-preserved bodies even showed the terrified faces of their owners before their demise.

"I wonder just how brutal that battle was back then?"

Xiao Bai murmured to himself and was about to continue forward, but a strange sense of dread crept into his heart.

She looked around suddenly, but saw nothing.

"What is it?"

All around was quiet, with only the howling north wind and the rustling of ice chips.

Xiao Bai took a deep breath and cast several spells in succession to further conceal his aura.

"Right now, completing the master's task is the most important thing!"

Little White transformed into a wisp of green smoke and drifted over the gleaming glacier.

After she left, a corpse beneath the glacier suddenly opened its eyes!
Not only that, but more and more corpses opened their eyes one after another, a horrifying scene that sent chills down one's spine!

……

The area of ​​the Arctic Night Demon Realm is not very large, at least much smaller than the Mingyuan Sect at its peak.

However, if we take the Eastern Wilderness Jade Cauldron Domain as a benchmark, it is at least five times the size of the Jade Cauldron Domain.

Such a size seems somewhat unworthy of the status of a sacred site.

But this is related to many factors.

Firstly, two natural barriers restricted the outward expansion of the Night Sky: the Sinking Sea and the Yuan Magnetic Mountain served as both defenses and limitations.

Secondly, it is related to the relatively small number of cultivators in the Yuanmo Sect.

The Demonic Sect encourages competition, and its internal struggles are often bloody and cruel, resulting in a small number of members.

In this way, the area of ​​the five Jade Cauldron Domains would be enough to support the core experts of the Demon Sect.

This was good news for Xiaobai, and she quickly caught up with the three demons of Kongchan.

But she didn't disturb the three of them; she simply followed them from a distance, observing what they were going to do.

During this process, she paid special attention to the chubby monk.

This is Luo Chen's explanation!
"My master said he felt a sense of familiarity and warmth from him, but I don't feel that way at all."

Xiao Bai was filled with doubt.

Soon after, Xiaobai stopped walking.

The reason was that the three people in front of them also stopped walking.

There was only one reason why they were forced to stop!
In the boundless glacial wilderness, a huge lake stands in the center.

This lake is different from ordinary large lakes; its water displays distinct red and black colors!

A putrid and bloody stench filled the entire Night Sky.

"What kind of lake is this?" Xiaobai asked in astonishment.

Meanwhile, the three demons of Kongchan also wore solemn expressions by the lake.

In that battle, blood rained down across the Night Sky, and the blood of countless demons and human cultivators spilled onto the earth.

Three hundred years have passed, and instead of drying up, that blood has formed a large lake.

Moreover, another force has also been incorporated.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, "That black lake water must be caused by the power of the Sea of ​​Desolation flowing in and corroding everything!"

Kong Chan looked at Tai Sui, "Fellow Daoist, didn't you say earlier that you had a way to guide this power back to the Sea of ​​Sinking?"

However, Tai Sui shook his head, looking bewildered.

"This power has already been integrated into Yamotian, and it cannot be guided out at all."

Kong Chan and Liu Jun were taken aback.

"How could this be?"

Tai Sui also smiled bitterly, "I don't know either. The power of the Sea of ​​Sinking is quite special. It was formed by the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven using an unpredictable array. Logically speaking, ordinary people should not be able to use this power at all."

The three looked at each other, all bewildered for a moment.

If they cannot reclaim the power of the Sea of ​​Despair, then what is the point of their arduous journey here?
suddenly!

"Look, what is that?"

The demonic monk Kongchan pointed his finger at the blood lake.

Everyone looked over, their faces filled with shock.

In the blood lake, a tiny figure was rising and falling, sinking into the depths.

That was a person! Centered on that person, a tiny vortex seemed to form, absorbing both red and black forces.

The stench of blood and the corrosive power of decadence fused together, forming a unique force within that person's body.

"It's demonic energy! Pure demonic energy!" Tai Sui blurted out, his eyes gleaming. "That person is using this blood lake to cultivate demonic techniques!"

Kong Chan asked in confusion: "Demonic cultivation techniques?"

Tai Sui waved his hand and explained, "It's not a demonic cultivation technique, but a demonic race technique! The demon race is a collective term for the many races living in the demon realm. The power they wield is demonic energy. This power is extremely domineering, rejecting everything, and is by no means weaker than the magical power of human cultivators. The demonic cultivation techniques you know are merely techniques created by intelligent humans who imitated the demon race. Among them, the best, like the Yuanmo lineage of the Yuanmo Sect, can cultivate pure demonic energy."

After explaining, Tai Sui exhaled a breath of stale air.

"I wonder where this person got this opportunity from, that he would rebel against his human form and cultivate a demonic body? Who is he?"

The answer to this question was quickly obtained.

The Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun, who hadn't said much before, uttered three words softly after carefully observing the person in the blood lake.

"The Madman!"

Tai Sui asked in confusion, "Who is he?"

"It's that madman we mentioned earlier, once hailed as the leader of the three great free spirits of the North Sea, a figure even the Yuanmo Sect at its peak couldn't handle."

Upon hearing this explanation, Tai Sui immediately understood.

He had also mingled in the cultivation world of Beihai, so he naturally knew the three famous independent cultivators.

The Madman, originally named Fengling Hermit, was a descendant of the Fengling Temple in Beihai.

Later, Fengling Temple was destroyed and occupied by the Yuanmo Sect, and Fengling Jushi became Feng Sanren. He later went into the Shenlun Sea and went mad after coming out, so Feng Sanren was also called Feng Sanren (Mad Sanren).

During his occasional moments of lucidity, he formed the Ten Thousand Immortals Society with Yue Sanren and Xue Sanren.

However, the Wanxian Society was later effectively controlled by Yue Sanren, and Feng Sanren disappeared completely. I never expected him to be here.

Upon recalling that the Madman had once entered the Sea of ​​Desolation, Tai Sui immediately thought that the other party might have obtained the demonic cultivation techniques by chance in the Land of Fallen Demons, and that the other party's madness was even caused by forcibly cultivating the demonic cultivation techniques with a human body.

"He's using the flesh and blood of countless corpses to rebuild his body, and employing the power of the Sinking Sea left behind by the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven to channel demonic energy, all in an attempt to forcibly cultivate a demonic body. This madman is truly insane!"

Tai Sui exclaimed in admiration, then suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Actually, it's not that there's no way to take the power of the Sea of ​​Sinking away!"

The two people next to them looked over curiously.

Tai Sui pointed to the location of the madman, "We just need to wait, wait for him to absorb all the power in the Blood Lake, and then take him back to the Sea of ​​Sinking, isn't that enough?"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood.

If the power of the Sea of ​​Despair is completely integrated into Yama, then they really won't have any way to deal with it.

But if this enormous power is in the hands of the Madman, things will be much easier.

As for whether it will succeed?

The eccentric monk Kongchan suggested that it was worth a try.

"The Madman is mentally unstable and has been mad for many years. My clan of chanting monks is most skilled in the art of bewitching and captivating. Back when we attacked the Yuanmo Sect, I wasn't even afraid of the Yuanhou Grand Master of the Soul Refining lineage, let alone this mentally unstable madman?"

"Then let's wait!"

"Let him absorb it completely!"

The three of them made up their minds and then began to make the necessary arrangements along the lakeside.

After all, the wicked monk Kongchan spoke lightly, but if anything unexpected happened, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, while setting up the formation, we can also take the opportunity to find out who the guy who sneaked in earlier really is.

"Hold my morning bell and evening drum, and place them on both sides of the Blood Lake!"

"Once he has absorbed the power of the Sea of ​​Oblivion, I will activate these two true artifacts and amplify them with Buddhist chants to cleanse his soul!"

The demonic monk Kongchan gave these instructions.

This is his specialty.

The morning bell and evening drum are genuine artifacts passed down from ancient times by the chanting monks, perfectly suited to their clan's attack methods.

With the blessing of the two genuine artifacts, Kong Chan's Buddhist chants and hymns can be amplified several times, allowing him to unleash his power to the fullest. This was also the source of his confidence in confronting the powerful members of the Yuanmo Sect's Soul Refining lineage head-on back then.

During the process of setting up the formation, Kong Chan suddenly had a brilliant idea: the Western Desert Buddhist Land.

I heard that the sacred Hanging Temple over there has been sealed away, which means that there is no longer a Luohan comparable to a god suppressing the Western Desert.

With his own abilities, he could easily take some time to visit the Western Desert and collect Buddhist scriptures there, which might help him advance further.

In that case, we'll have a much better chance of entering the Land of Fallen Demons again!

As he was thinking this, Kong Chan slammed his staff heavily into the ice.

This will be the key point of his Ten Thousand Buddhas Chanting Formation later!
However, after the staff struck the ice, Kong Chan felt a soft touch beneath it, and his expression immediately changed.

"careful!"

Upon hearing the warning, Liu Jun and Tai Sui, who were in the distance, looked over at the same time, both with puzzled expressions.

Then, a tremendous tremor suddenly erupted from the ground.

Without prior arrangement, the three of them took to the sky and looked down at the earth.

The ice sheet, stretching for thousands of miles, cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Click!Click!
Within the cracked ice, corpses that should have been dead long ago stood up unsteadily.

These corpses included those of demonic beasts and those of human cultivators from the Yuanmo Sect, some intact and some incomplete, but all of them have now awakened from their burial.

This unexpected change stunned everyone.

Even a delicate, startled cry came from within an iceberg.

When Kong Chan and the other two looked over, they saw a wisp of green smoke drifting into the sky and transforming into a beautiful woman.

After the beautiful woman flew out, the iceberg where she was hiding collapsed and a huge ice ape carcass emerged from it.

"As expected, someone was spying on us!" Tai Sui stared intently at Xiao Bai, his heart surging with murderous intent.

The three of them had already gathered together when Liu Jun stopped him.

"Never mind that woman for now. The most urgent thing is to figure out why these dead beings have come back to life. Among them are even the remains of my merfolk!"

The demonic monk Kongchan focused all his attention on the thousands upon thousands, countless corpses below.

Upon closer inspection, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Complex souls, trapped within lifeless corpses, yet they act in unison. These ghosts... are the lonely, wandering spirits imprisoned by the Soul Refining Ancestor within the Billion Souls Locking Demon Array!"

As if to prove his words, the countless "corpse demons" below began to move.

They completely ignored the three demons of Kongchan and Little White, and ran madly toward the blood lake in the center.

As they ran, the ghouls surged forward one after another, and began to overlap.

As time passed, a towering giant, thousands of feet tall, stood atop the broken glacial wasteland.

This giant's body was composed of countless corpses, and it was incredibly eerie to look at.

Countless eyes, glowing with eerie green flames, stared intently at the lake of blood.

"Hooooo..."

A sound, like a sob or a furious roar, came from the skeletal giant, and then it wriggled its way into the lake of blood.

Target: The degenerate madman!
Kong Chan, Liu Jun, and Tai Sui watched all this in silence, realizing that their arrival had awakened these spirits and further provoked them to attack the Madman.

"No, the Madman cannot be lost. We need the power of the Sea of ​​Despair!" Tai Sui made his judgment.

Mermaid Emperor Liu Jun felt powerless; the oppressive aura emanating from that skeletal giant far surpassed that of any Nascent Soul expert. "We can't stop it."

"There's no need to stop them for now; the Madman will handle it on his own." Kong Chan pointed to the blood lake, from which bubbles rose one after another, clearly indicating that the Madman was not without consciousness, especially when his life was threatened.

Liu Jun hesitated and said, "Then shall we sit back and watch the tigers fight?"

"No!" Tai Sui's face twisted into a ferocious grin as his gaze swept over the woman who stood gracefully in mid-air beneath the shattered iceberg in the distance. "Kill this lurking fellow first!"

Liu Jun and Kong Chan exchanged a glance, then nodded in tacit agreement.

Let's clear the area first!
Without a word, the three rushed toward the woman who looked utterly astonished.

The woman retreated while crying out, "Master, save me!" (End of Chapter)
