Longevity starts with learning.

Chapter 889 Jizhou
With the current method of identifying demons, it is impossible to achieve accurate identification.

The only thing we can do is to send out trustworthy people to investigate.

With this boy's cultivation and his understanding of demons, he should be able to play a significant role.

Chu Mu slowly flipped through the many records about the Xingluo Grassland in the True Transmission Order. One thought after another emerged in his mind and then shattered.

Time passed, and it was not until late at night that Chu Mu came back to his senses from the massive amount of recorded information.

He raised his hand and the projection of the mountain range reappeared. The Yanyun Mountains, which had been shrunk countless times, came to life. As he tapped with his fingertips, the situations of one important mountain location after another appeared.

Given the vastness of the Yanyun Mountains, even if the Changsheng Sect has a deep foundation, it is obviously impossible to cover the entire Yanyun Mountains with array prohibitions.

The mountains outside the Lingcheng camps in various important locations are mostly located at various nodes.

Of course, this so-called node is just a general term.

There are immortal facilities for amplifying spiritual energy, as well as various light and dark formations for monitoring and recording, and more are various kinds of artifacts.

There are light and dark puppets that patrol and monitor fixed areas. Most of these puppets are small in size and extremely hidden.

There are also puppet armies organized on a large scale, organized in small teams, which are also used to patrol fixed areas and kill corresponding targets...

All of these are spread across the Yanyun Mountains, forming key nodes in this huge network of authority.

Although there were quite a few nodes destroyed after this demonic catastrophe, most of them have been restored after his mobilization and coordination after the authority was restored.

The remaining incomplete parts cannot be completed by dead puppets, and require a large number of disciples who have practiced immortal arts to repave and repair them.

Chu Mu raised his finger and pointed again, and the projection of the mountain disappeared, turning into a densely packed list of data.

There is a lot of data, which records in real time the many facilities of the Changsheng Sect in the Yanyun Mountains.

Puppets, formations, psychic weapons...

There are detailed data on quantity, quality, and even real-time conditions such as the extent of damage.

Naturally, there is also clear data on the demons that still remain in the Yanyun Mountains.

However, this data is obviously impossible to be absolutely accurate.

After all, the source of the data is the monitoring facilities throughout the Yanyun Mountains and the countless puppets that patrol and monitor, all of which are inanimate objects that follow fixed logic.

As for demons, considering the vastness of the Yanyun Mountains, there are naturally quite a few intelligent demons.

It is naturally not difficult to hide the prying eyes of these dead things.

"There are probably nearly a million demons..."

Chu Mu glanced at the statistics of the number of monsters, and combined with his speculation, an approximate number emerged in his mind.

According to these statistics, before the demon catastrophe, the total number of cultivators living in the spiritual cities and camps in the Yanyun Mountains was nearly ten million.

Among them, 99.9 percent are basically low-level cultivators, or in other words, they are all just Qi training cultivators.

These monks obviously did not have much resistance against the catastrophe caused by demons.

A catastrophe of demons broke out, and within just ten days, at least one-third of the cultivators were transformed into demons.

As for the remaining cultivators, due to the paralysis of the authority system and the strangeness of demons lurking among humans, the entire Yanyun Mountains lacked an overall order.

Under such circumstances, except for the Yanshan area, other places basically only engaged in small-scale resistance and escape.

Faced with the demons that are organized and coordinated, in a state of disunity and without the support of top forces, it is self-evident what the outcome will be.

Although it was only a short ten-day period, it was obvious that the expansion of the demon race had already started to snowball.

If the demons are given some more time, they will completely digest the Yanyun Mountains. With the demon race's terrifying erosion and assimilation ability, it will be easy for them to create millions of demons.

In fact, if you are more calm, it would not be difficult to create a large number of intelligent monsters.

After all, when lurking in the dark without revealing any clues, the existence of demons will spread rapidly, let alone when everything is under control.

By then, with millions of demons entrenched in the area, the Yanyun Mountains would probably become a de facto iron wall.

"In such an important place of such a scale, why is there no fourth-level demon?"

Chu Mu pondered secretly, and the numerous data circulating in front of him also dissipated. The projection of the mountain reappeared, and as his mind moved, one white spot after another appeared on the projection of the mountain.

There are twelve light spots in total, and each one represents a direct disciple of the Golden Elixir Master.

Ten of them were his direct disciples who followed him out of the secret realm, and the other two were naturally the remaining golden elixirs stationed here.

The light spot representing Chen Hong was now in the Moyun Gobi Desert and was still moving rapidly towards the north.

The remaining eleven light spots were all near Yanshan City, and they were obviously still killing the fleeing demons.

Chu Mu tapped his fingertips lightly, and a stream of light sank into the dots of light. He used his authority in the Yanyun Mountains to restore the disciple authority of the eleven Jindan disciples. As for the low-level disciples under his direct teaching, he was not prepared to restore their authority before further identifying whether there were still demons hiding.

After all, the number of low-level disciples is too large, and it is impossible for him to monitor them in real time by himself.

And there are only eleven Jindan disciples at most. Even if there is anything abnormal, he will be able to detect it in time.

However, with the vastness of Yanyun, only eleven Jindan cultivators...

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu was too lazy to worry about it anymore.

As long as no high-level demons appear, the remaining demons in the Yanyun Mountains, no matter how many there are, are not a cause for concern.

If a high-level demon really appeared...

Even if it was a fourth-order great perfection demon, with his current supreme authority in the Yanyun Mountains, even if he could not match it, he would definitely have no problem escaping.

Chu Mu glanced at the dozen or so demons imprisoned in cages, then leaped up into the sky, stayed in the sky for a moment, and then flew towards the southwest.

The Eighteen Cities of Yanyun are located in various parts of the Yanyun Mountains, relying on the mountain terrain. From east to west, each city is an independent line of defense.

Surrounding each city, there are more or less camps for protection. Although they are called camps, in fact, their scale is no smaller than those spiritual cities in the heart of Da Chu. However, as frontline fortresses, their military attributes are far greater than the prosperity attributes of the city.

There are also strict restrictions on cultivators who are not from the Changsheng Sect.

The most famous of them is Jizhou City.

Jizhou City is located in the middle section of the Yanyun Mountains, on the highest peak of the Yanyun Mountains, Yanji Peak.

In the system of Changsheng Sect, Jizhou City is the place where Yuanying Taishang resides all year round.

However, due to the conscription order from the Changsheng Sect and the paralysis of the Changshengtian authority system, a demon catastrophe broke out during this brief period of time. The most prosperous city of Jizhou was also one of the first cities to fall in the Yanyun Mountains.

Similarly, the defenses within Jizhou City are naturally the most complete and strict.

Although the demons swept through Jizhou City, they were also concerned about the numerous paralyzed forbidden facilities and withdrew from the city early.

With the restoration of Changshengtian's authority system, Jizhou City was naturally recovered as well.

Although the distance was still far, the majestic light rising into the sky had already entered Chu Mu's field of vision.

A fully activated fourth-grade superior city defense formation. Even a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse would be unable to escape the fate of being suppressed if he was trapped in it.

The brilliant light that shot straight into the sky was undoubtedly the trace of this terrifying formation being fully activated.

On top of the towering city walls, countless psychic creations have revealed their might, emitting dazzling spiritual light from time to time, killing the demons that enter the attack range.

Outside the city walls, there are ferocious war fortresses of various sizes and puppet armies of varying sizes. Under the authority system of Changshengtian, they also abide by the inherent behavioral logic. Amid the roars of landslides and earth-shattering, they orderly eliminate the demons within the corresponding range.

In a wider range, there are even more tiny reconnaissance puppets hovering and wandering in the mountains and forests, searching for the existence of demons and providing clear and definite target guidance for the entire war system.

In the center of the city, there is a nearly 100-foot-tall, pure white coiled dragon column.

Every few breaths, this giant coiled dragon cylinder would release an invisible wave in all directions, detecting all spiritual energy fluctuations within a radius of nearly a million miles.

Corresponding to the countless reconnaissance puppets and monitoring arrays, it forms a detection and locking system that can almost be described as a dragnet.

Under the cover of such a detection and locking system, if you want to completely avoid detection and locking, you must either use power beyond that of this system to forcibly cover up all traces.

Otherwise, you have to avoid all existing surveillance and not leave any traces that might expose you.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to avoid the lock of this detection system.

But it is obvious that such a comprehensive detection system cannot be maintained forever.

After all, with the grandeur of this system, if it is to be maintained all the time, the resources consumed every moment must be an astronomical figure.

No matter how profound the Changsheng Sect's foundation is, it is impossible to keep this system running at full capacity all the time.

On weekdays, things often turn into a stable and restrained operating state like this city defense formation.

In layman's terms, it is a dormant state.

Only when it is necessary, such as in war or other special circumstances, will such efforts be spared at all costs.

Of course, it is very costly to maintain the full operation of such a system, and the cost of laying such a system is obviously even greater.

Looking at the entire Da Chu cultivation world, there are not many places with such a complete system.

It can even be said that there are very few.

Most of them are often limited to Lingcheng Market...
