Chapter 938 The strange calm

The north wind was fierce, and the shrill whistling sounded like a cannonball passing through the sky and earth, and the rolling dark clouds covered the sky all day long like a curtain.

Although the hilly area is vast, the current Tiannan cultivation world does not have the ability to build another hilly defense line.

The vast hilly land, after experiencing a half-year defeat, was almost completely destroyed in just a few years due to the strategy of exchanging space for time.

The Big Dipper Cities, which were once the center of the Great Chu, naturally became the frontline facing the threat of demons.

However, as the situation has deteriorated to this point, this border area has rarely experienced a period of peace over the past few years.

After sweeping across the hilly area, the demonic wave never advanced further.

The Seven Cities of Beidou stand tall. Although they are at the forefront, there have never been the wars that broke out so easily in the past few years.

The situation, which had been tense and deteriorating, seemed to have calmed down quietly.

Chu Mu stood alone on the Tianshu Tower. Looking around, he could hardly find any trace of demons in the vast world.

This remaining border area in the northern border seemed to have been suddenly forgotten by the demons.

Calm and weird, but seemingly as it should be.

After all, the demon clan's targets of conquest are not limited to the Tiannan immortal cultivation world.

The immortal cultivation world is still resisting the demons and resisting the alienation of heaven and earth, and it is not only the Changsheng Sect and the Tiannan immortal cultivation world.

In today's era of alienation between heaven and earth, the demon clan is obviously different from the past when they simply occupied territory. The key lies in the alienation of heaven and earth.

Swallowing up a hilly area stretching over a million miles, compared to the destined destruction of the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World, it is obviously more important to the alienation of heaven and earth.

After all, judging from all the current evidence, the demon clan is more of a group of believers than a clan.

The behavior of believers has never been about the believers themselves, but about the existence of their faith and sacrifice.

The alienation of heaven and earth is the key to the existence of believers' sacrifices.

Believers can only obey this and cannot disobey.

As for the alienation of heaven and earth, judging from the traces of alienation of demons and monsters, the key within this world lies in the alienation of spirit veins and the establishment of a belief and sacrificial system.

The hilly area covers an area of ​​more than one million miles. In this rout where space is traded for time, all places with spiritual veins must be defended to the death.

If we fail to defend, we will destroy the spiritual veins and not give the demons any chance to take advantage.

Compared to the initial outbreak of the demon catastrophe and the suddenness of the outbreak that swallowed up thousands of miles, the current struggle that is almost like a scorched earth resistance has undoubtedly greatly slowed down the speed of alienation of the world for the demon clan.

In addition, the demon hunting operation has caused damage to the demon world...

All these factors combined together have created the current peace.

The Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World was unable to launch an attack.

The demon clan was also unable to attack due to the alienation of heaven and earth.

The world is peaceful with hills as its boundary.

After staring for an unknown amount of time, Chu Mu slowly turned his gaze and looked towards the sky.

The clouds are rolling in, but it is not the darkness of the demonic world, but just the normal seasonal climate change.

If one looks at it from the surface, the world in the hilly area only shows extremely subtle signs of alienation.

But it is obvious that once the alienation situation becomes serious, it means that the demons have already established a complete sacrificial belief system, and it will deteriorate rapidly within just half a year, just like before.

In the following ten or so years, it almost became a forbidden area for cultivators of immortality.

"About... twenty years? Thirty years?"

Chu Mu was thoughtful.

According to previous trends, in perhaps just a few decades, the demon world will be transformed into a system, and the demon clan will launch a massive attack.

The seven cities of Beidou will face endless attacks from demons just like the nine cities on the hills before.

By then, how long can the Seven Cities of Beidou hold out?
Thinking of this, Chu Mu suddenly smiled.

With the Changsheng Sect having been operating for tens of thousands of years, if they want to break through the Seven Cities of Beidou and the gate of Changsheng Mountain, they can only waste a long time, except hoping that there will be a traitor inside the Changsheng Sect.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the power limit in the world of immortal cultivation is at the Nascent Soul stage, and that is when one does not reach the fifth stage.

If a fifth-level demon appeared, then all of this would be meaningless. At this time, two beams of light flew from the sky, one in front and one behind, and landed on the top of the city.

The two white robes are both robes of immortality.

It’s just that one is the Supreme and the other is the true teaching.

The people who came were Xu Changqing, the supreme master of the Kuizhen lineage, and Lie Yan, the true disciple of the Kuizhen lineage.

One is in the early stage of Yuanying, and the other is in the middle stage of Jindan.

"How is the situation, lord?"

Chu Mu turned to look at Xu Changqing and asked.

Xu Changqing's pale face also showed a rare smile: "Fortunately, with the help of the immortals, the injury has stabilized."

"That's good."

Chu Mu nodded, and his heart was relieved a little.

After several years of defeat, some of the monks who had participated in the demon hunting operation at that time escaped and returned one after another.

Unexpectedly, most of those who escaped were cultivators at the Jindan level.

There were more than thirty Nascent Soul masters who entered the demon world back then, but until now, less than half of them have returned.

Among them, there were three great Nascent Soul cultivators, and only the Changsheng Sect Master returned with serious injuries.

The Grand Elder of the Tianzhu League had his soul lamp shattered and died many years ago.

The high priest of the Yinshan tribe had been having his soul lamp flickering unsteadily over the years, and it was not until this year that the news of his death was officially confirmed.

Although the leader of the Changsheng Sect returned safely, he was also seriously injured. The other Yuanying masters who escaped also suffered more or less injuries.

It is no exaggeration to say that among the seven cities of Beidou today, most of the remaining Nascent Soul masters are half-crippled!
If the demons had not stopped their attacks, given their old, weak and sick condition, they would have been completely dependent on the city defense formation of the Seven Cities of Big Dipper and passively defend, falling into the dilemma of being worn down by the Nine Cities of Hill.

And according to the information revealed by these returning monks, his guess back then was not wrong.

The demon hunting operation that was bound to succeed ended in such a disastrous end because of the fifth-level demon.

Strictly speaking, it should be a pseudo fifth order.

The Tianhen Liuying Jade Slip brought back by the Lord of the Changsheng Sect also clearly recorded the changes in Cangwu City.

In Cangwu City, there are three great Nascent Soul cultivators and demons, all of whom are within the blessing range of Cangwu Holy Soul. Their pseudo-fifth-level cultivation, although not the real fifth-level, has also broken through the power limit of the fourth-level.

The leader of the Changsheng Sect, the great elder of the Tianzhu League, and the ten Yuanying masters who cooperated in the operation, had just sneaked into Cangwu City when they were discovered by the three demons whose cultivation level had been enhanced by the holy soul to the pseudo fifth level.

The gap is almost that of a major realm, so the result is self-evident.

Without any surprise, the sneak attack turned into a massacre.

With the collapse of the top forces, the sneak attack naturally turned into a dragnet to wipe out the Tiannan cultivators who sneaked into the demon world.

As a result, the elite troops of the Nine Cities were stuck in a quagmire, unable to return to the Nine Hills Cities that were about to fall, and ultimately led to a great defeat that lasted for several years...

As for the harvest of this demon hunting operation...

Perhaps the only gain is that the demon clan's offensive can be eased for a longer period of time.

This rare peace may last longer.

After all, even if the demon hunting operation failed, it still caused considerable damage to the demon world.

The vital fourth-level spiritual vein of the Donghu Islands was destroyed, and the fourth-level holy soul was still heavily sealed in his storage bag, and he had been studying it for many years.

The fourth-level spiritual vein cannot be regenerated.

The holy soul enshrined in this fourth-level spiritual vein is even more extraordinary.

According to his research in recent years, this fourth-level holy soul, even if we don't consider its quality but only its quantity, the amount of holy soul is more than that of a hundred third-level holy souls.

Its quality is even more terrifying.

He even felt that the holy soul enshrined in this fourth-level spirit vein no longer belonged to the category of divine soul aura, but was a true heavenly divine soul.

A wisp of Tianyan’s divine soul!
Its rarity is probably much higher than that of a fourth-level spirit vein!
