A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 1372: The Swamp Demon City
"Blood Lake Ancestor, we are truly old friends..."

Jiang Ding said to himself.

About three thousand years ago, the incarnation of the Blood Lake Ancestor descended to the lower world and injured him many times, almost killing him.

The ancestor of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sect is even more terrifying. He masters more powerful space teleportation technology and actually descends into the small world in his original form.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and died at Xiyuan's hands, with even his soul being forcibly searched.

These two people are both in the late stage of Refining Void realm.

"The Blood Lake and the Mountain of Corpses have the potential to unify the Thunder Flame Region."

Jiang Ding pondered.

Theoretically, the Immortal Weapon Sect should interfere and not allow the various domains to unify internally, so as not to weaken their control.

But it is not certain.

If the Immortal Weapon Sect is currently fighting a powerful enemy and is distracted and unable to pay attention to other things, or if the Blood Lake and Corpse Mountain have bribed an elder of the Immortal Weapon Sect, or even if it is simply the instruction of an elder, or if it is a conspiracy by another hostile Immortal Sect... all these things may lead to unification.

"It would be great if we could catch the Blood Lake Ancestor alone."

Jiang Ding thought quietly.

He wanted to kill the Blood Lake Patriarch and then go to the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain to get the fragments of the magic.

The obstacle now is that there is not only one Lianxu master in the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain, and there must be a terrifying sect-suppressing formation inside the mountain gate, which Jiang Ding cannot defeat.

"Let's talk again, don't be in a hurry."

"The key now is to collect materials for the Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique."

After searching for a while in Fengliu Renmo's memory, Jiang Ding locked onto a place called Swamp Demon City.

The Swamp Demon City is a free-spirited immortal city founded by a cultivator named 'Swamp True Venerable'. It is located in a place called the Sludge Swamp on the border of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect and the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain.

This True Lord of the Swamp was able to build an immortal city between the two great True Sects without being destroyed, so his strength must be extremely strong.

However, strength is not the most important reason.

His strength is not enough to contend with either of the two major sects. The reason why he has not been destroyed is because the escape technique of the True Lord of the Swamp is extremely powerful, and he has a unique advantage in the mud swamp.

In history, both the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sect and the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain had invaded the Swamp Demon City and were invincible without encountering any resistance. However, they were unable to find and kill the Swamp Demon Lord. Instead, he took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and massacred many of their subordinate forces, causing countless casualties and losses.

Finally, with no other options, the two great sects acquiesced to the existence of the Swamp Fairy City.

Because of this, the Swamp Demon City became a holy place for independent cultivators. Many demon cultivators from the territories of the two major sects gathered here and sold many shameful things, making the business extremely prosperous.

Of course, the True Lord of the Swamp is not really completely free from the world.

He must hand over 80% of his offerings to the Immortal Sect.

This is the basic obligation of any force in the upper realm, otherwise it will bring disaster.

"This is it."

"It's a commercial city with developed commerce and a huge amount of goods gathered here... It's perfect for me to do fair trade."

Jiang Ding sighed.

……

According to the memories of Fengliu Renmo, after passing through many places and spending several years, Jiang Ding arrived at an endless swamp area.

The air here is full of a foul smell. The ground rolls from time to time, and some bones and mud roll up, bringing out some green and poisonous gas.

"Mud Swamp..."

Jiang Ding continued to walk into it, and after several months, he came to the center of the swamp.

Here, many immortal cultivators came and went, walking in an orderly manner towards a magnificent green mud city.

The entire city is made up of a lot of flowing green sludge, which is jelly-like, elastic and tough.

In the memories of some demon cultivators who killed people and stole treasures that Jiang Ding had inquired about, this was a third-level material called "Green Poisonous Clay", which was produced in large quantities in the Sludge Swamp. It was later refined into a demon city by the True Lord of the Swamp, and with a relaxed trading policy, it gathered a large amount of natural treasures from all over the place to supply its own cultivation.

Jiang Ding stopped here and paused for a moment. He was lost in thought, the Taiqing flying sword trembled slightly, and a scarlet murderous intent began to emerge.

"No."

"Without detailed intelligence, I cannot attack any Lianxu Zhenzun."

Jiang Ding whispered in his heart.

To be clear, Lianxu Zhenzun has the ability to kill him.

This kind of people who see a strong man and rush forward regardless of the consequences are Chongguangzi Xiyuan and others, not him.

In addition, Jiang Ding would not kill any cultivator for no reason. No matter how bad the other party's reputation was, he would confirm it again before taking action, just like the Fengliu Renmo.

"In this case……"

Jiang Ding's body became blurry, and an ordinary-looking young man in gray clothes emerged.

"Unremarkable appearance" is not a description but a statement, because his appearance is collected from the appearances of hundreds of millions of people nearby. After comparison, the most common appearance was selected. It is ordinary in every aspect and the kind that can be seen everywhere on the street.

"Go ahead, collect supplies and intelligence."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

It was impossible for him to enter the lair of a True Lord of the Refining Void which was filled with formations and traps.

This nano-liquid robot clone of the pinnacle of the Incarnation Realm refined by the Immortal Sect is the first choice for replacement. He possesses some of Jiang Ding's memories and does not involve major secrets such as the underworld and the Immortal Sect.

……

Jiang Ding walked into the quagmire magic city.

There are no city walls here, just a piece of tender green jelly-like ground, which is extremely tough. Even a body-refining monk weighing thousands of pounds will walk on it without any dents.

People were coming and going around, monks were like the tide, and looking around, there was no end in sight.

Among them, Qi-cultivating and foundation-building cultivators and Golden Core cultivators can be seen everywhere, there are also quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators, and Spirit Transformation cultivators can be seen from time to time. It is not like the Small Thousand Worlds where you can't see a dragon from head to tail.

The Swamp Demon City is full of swamps and is generally barren.

In order to develop business and accumulate natural treasures for cultivation, Master Nizwan Zhenzun put in a lot of effort.

He refined a large number of 'Swamp Orders'. As long as one was within the domain, one could use spiritual consciousness to connect to the Swamp Orders and browse the products listed there, including skills, spells, furnaces, assassins, alchemy, talismans, searching for spies, intelligence... etc. It had everything and was all-encompassing, like an online shopping mall that was ahead of its time.

By paying a certain amount of spirit stones, the goods can be delivered directly to the customers.

If a big customer wants to purchase goods, or if someone else wants to come to the Swamp Demon City but is afraid it is too far or unsafe, they can just put a certain amount of natural treasures and spirit stones into the Swamp Order and be teleported to the Swamp Demon City.

Transactions in the Demon City are absolutely safe, and you will be protected by the True Lord of the Swamp, and the taxes collected are also lower than in other places.

Under various convenient conditions, a large number of monks with trading needs in this area gathered here, even including many monks from the two major true sects.

"This True Lord's rules should be related to space."

Jiang Ding guessed.

Other True Lords of Lianxu can also accomplish the same things as his methods, but they require setting up space formations in various places, and the True Lord of Lianxu himself has to do it personally, so it is difficult to deploy them on a large scale.

For a True Master of the Space Path who has mastered the rules of space, it would be much easier for him to do the same thing.

"space……"

"No wonder the main body has a headache."

Jiang Ding smiled bitterly: "This kind of cultivator is generally very strong, and has an even stronger ability to escape. If we don't restrict them in advance, it will be impossible to stop them."

"Of course, I need to confirm his guilt."

"If he is indeed just an ordinary businessman, then we can only consider waiting for the Blood Lake Patriarch outside the Blood Lake Corpse Mountain."

His figure gradually blended into the many monks in the Demon City, and there was no longer anything special about him.
