Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 308: Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord (Subscribe)

After Chen Xuan and Zhou Huaijing had a secret conversation, they had a general understanding of the movements of the Liang Kingdom Demon Sect.

It seems that the Liang Kingdom's Demon Sect is still in the process of internal integration and will not launch a large-scale war against the Song Kingdom for the time being.

This also made him relieved.

He hates war.

But we must be prepared for war.

"It would be great if Wolong Island could be promoted to a third-level dojo in time."

Chen Xuan thought to himself.

However, he knew it in his heart.

Even if there are two sea spirit beads to gather spiritual energy, it is impossible for Wolong Island to be promoted without three to five hundred years of nurturing and cultivation.

Don't say he doesn't have the financial resources.

Even if he could exchange for two more Sea Spirit Pearls, it would still take two to three hundred years to advance.

It would be better for him to cultivate to the Golden Elixir Real Person earlier.

One promotion to the second rank in five years, and two promotion to the third rank in seven years.

According to rough estimates, it will take about ten years for Chen Xuan to break through to the fourth level of foundation building and enter the threshold of the middle stage of foundation building.

This speed!

In fact, it has been very fast.

But Chen Xuan was still somewhat dissatisfied.

More haste, less speed.

Since it is difficult to significantly improve one's own strength in a short period of time, one can only rely on external things.

The strange insect under his command is actually a kind of external object.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede and the Pipa Scorpion are about to break through to the second level.

After the heavy-armored cricket died, the Emperor Insect Immortal Cauldron refined and accumulated more and more insect spirit essences, and some more strange insects could be cultivated.

However, having learned a lesson from the heavy-armored cricket, Chen Xuan will be extremely strict in selecting the exotic insects to breed.

The grade should be higher than that of the Iron-back Mantis, and it is best if it has a unique bloodline and good innate magical powers to effectively increase its fighting strength.

As for these more than 10,000 mortal craftsmen and their families, they were his manpower preparation for the large-scale production of steamships.

In his vision, large steamships would have the dual functions of long-distance navigation and fishing.

If the situation becomes irreversible in the future, this will allow most of the mortals on the island to be relocated.

Just like the previous movie "The Wandering Earth", we will look for a place for human beings to survive and develop.

Hundreds of large steamships consumed the manpower and materials of ordinary mortals.

Looks huge.

But if measured with spirit stones, it is nothing.

A second-level warship takes more than ten second-level refiners and hundreds of refinery apprentices three to five years to build and is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

A large steamship could be built in two or three years with the labor of only ten thousand mortals and cost one hundred thousand taels of silver.

It only costs a few hundred spirit stones to exchange.

Hundreds of large steamships and millions of spirit stones were not a problem at all for Chen Xuan at this time.

He always believed that on the Xuanyuan Continent, the cultivators underestimated the power of ordinary mortals.

As long as they can have enough food and clothing, the technological level of ordinary people will develop rapidly.

Although the individual power is small, the large cold weapons developed and produced by the collective power can also cause damage to low-level monsters.

In the world of cultivation, the size of a force is measured by high-end combat power and the grade of spiritual veins.

Not to mention ordinary mortals, even cultivators in the Qi training stage are not worthy of being on the stage.

The low-level independent cultivators are like cannon fodder.

This may be related to the rapid reproduction of the human race.

Ordinary mortals and low-level cultivators reproduce very quickly.

As long as there are enough resources, the quantity can be replenished quickly.

Therefore, both the righteous path and the evil path are facing the problem of rapid population growth and insufficient resources.

The distribution method is unreasonable and has a pyramid structure.

A very small number of high-end people have seized a huge amount of resources.

The vast majority of people at the lower end of the social ladder lack spiritual food and are constantly facing the crisis of transforming from spiritual beings into mortals.

The upward channel is extremely narrow.

Even among the high-end people, their own offspring feel that the space is too crowded.

This is the reason why a large-scale war between Taoism and demons breaks out every thousand years or so.

Reshuffle the cards, consume some consumables, and slightly ease the internal conflicts between each party.

Like the Song State, the seven major sects can also expand and use the newly acquired spiritual veins to reward the sect's disciples and vassal families.

Small and medium-sized sects and other forces of cultivation should be thankful if they can maintain their basic base and pass on their traditions.

……

After returning to Wolong Island, Chen Xuan delegated power and allowed the family elders to perform their duties.

His focus was on his own cultivation.

At this time, Wolong Island has become the number one island in Dongshan.

It is the trade center of the Dongshan Islands and coastal land.

Various spiritual objects are gathered here, and then go through the port of Wolong Island to enter and exit the neighboring countries and the Hundred Islands of Dongshan.

After the sea tide ended, the prices of sea beast meat and monster materials gradually began to rise.

Two months later.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Chen Xuan took it to the top of Wolong Mountain and chose an open place with the richest spiritual energy.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede revealed its demonic body, with a hundred legs and a thousand eyes, and was already half a meter in size.

It raised its head towards the sky, breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from its mouth. There was excitement and irritability in its thousands of strange eyes.

At this point, it has realized that it has reached a critical moment.

The whole body was filled with demonic energy, wrapping himself in it.

Its feet are like iron hooks, it has venom glands and palatal teeth, and its head has a golden luster.

The most bizarre thing about it is its thousand eyes.

Like a bronze bell, it emits some golden light and yellow mist.

The surrounding spiritual plants will wither if touched.

This is its innate magical power, the soul-stealing golden light.

After completing your cultivation, no matter how strong your immortal body is or how indestructible you are, you will not be able to stop the golden light and yellow mist from eroding you.

Although the Thousand-Eyed Centipede is only half a meter long, it has a strong demonic aura. Except for the psychic green snake, it is stronger than the strange insects that broke through before.

Having had many experiences, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry. He followed the procedures, raised the Emperor Insect Immortal Cauldron, and fed it large groups of insect spirit essence.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede swallowed the insect spirit essence very comfortably, bowed with its centipede legs, and refined it on its own.

Chen Xuan felt amused.

This Thousand-Eyed Centipede actually knew how to bow and express gratitude.

He made hand gestures, gathered a lot of spiritual energy, and directed it towards the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.

At this time, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede's body was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It grew from half a zhang in length to ten zhang in length, becoming several times larger.

Its skin and head were shimmering with gold, while the rest of its limbs were pitch black. It was different from the previous strange insects.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede never made any strange sound, but calmly absorbed the essence and spiritual energy of the insect spirits, constantly stretching its body.

He looked calm and composed.

It seemed as if he was confident of breaking through to the second level.

"You are a calm person."

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with the performance of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.

This shows that it is quite spiritual and knows how to think.

As the essence of the insect spirit was refined, the body of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede no longer grew, but continued to condense spiritual energy, emitting bursts of bone friction sounds.

Chen Xuan stared.

"Is it about to shed its skin?"

As the Thousand-Eyed Centipede's body grew, its exoskeleton became narrow, restricting its growth.

At this time, a unique liquid is secreted from the body of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede to soften its exoskeleton.

almost.

Sensing the painful expression on the Thousand-Eyed Centipede's face when it shed its skin, Chen Xuan took out a porcelain bottle and controlled the Emperor's Liquid inside, transforming it into strands of golden light that shot onto the Thousand-Eyed Centipede's body.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede shuddered.

Seems to be enjoying it very much.

Strands of Emperor's Liquid were quickly absorbed by it.

The evil spirit is strong.

The exoskeleton of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Monster fell off one by one, revealing the soft and moist new skin inside.

The color of the entire body and limbs is consistent with the head, also shining with gold, but slightly lighter.

The most bizarre thing is its eyes.

The number decreased from a thousand to a few hundred, but their size became much larger.

Is this the origin of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord?

A thick demonic aura enveloped the top of Wolong Mountain.

Judging from the intensity of the demonic aura, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord seems to be second only to the Psychic Green Snake.

It is much stronger than the previous Jade-faced Queen Bee, Phantom Butterfly, and Winged Mantis.

Although he was happy, Chen Xuan had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Look up.

Heart beating wildly.

On the top of Wolong Mountain, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually became thinner, dark clouds gradually rose, and the sky was filled with disaster clouds.

"Just breaking through to the second level, and there's such a momentum?"

Chen Xuan had a similar experience.

When he was building up his supreme Taoist foundation, he was struck by this thunder tribulation.

Thunder tribulations will only occur when cultivators and monsters achieve Nascent Soul stage and transform.

"Yes, the Soul-stealing Golden Light is a transformation of divine power that penetrates heaven and earth. Heaven will not allow it, so it is destroyed by thunder."

Chen Xuan wanted to figure out the whole thing and couldn't help but worry about the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.

It has just shed its skin, and its bones and skin have not yet completely solidified, so it may not be able to survive the thunderstorm.

The power of thunder is mighty.

For monsters, it is both a curse and a blessing.

Heavenly thunder can cleanse the body of a demon, wash away the impurities and negative energy in it, and strengthen the blood, qi and flesh. It is something that demons both fear and desire.

Chen Xuan sighed softly, and the petals of the thunder blue lotus in his body bloomed.

He couldn't bear to watch the Thousand-Eyed Centipede being killed by the thunder from the sky.

At the critical moment, even if it goes against God's will, he will block the thunder for the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.

It's not like he hasn't experienced divine thunder before.

When he was building his foundation, only three heavenly thunders fell, and he still felt that the weight was not enough.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede also sensed the arrival of the heavenly thunder.

It suddenly stood up and walked like a human, with its golden head raised to the sky, making a provocative "hissing" sound.

Soon, the calamity clouds began to roll, and a divine thunderbolt as thick as a small bowl and over ten feet long struck directly onto the body of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Monster.

That’s all!

Seeing the size of the heavenly thunder, Chen Xuan felt relieved.

It is only one-tenth or one-twelfth of the power he had when he was building his foundation.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede has outstanding comprehension, accumulated strength over time, and has strong demonic power, making it easy to resist.

really.

The ten-zhang-high divine thunder of heavenly tribulation struck the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, lighting up a flash of lightning arc, which soon went out.

Then, the second and third...

Each one is more powerful than the last.

Back then, when Chen Xuan was building his foundation and entering the Xuantian Pure Yang Gong, he only had three divine thunders of heavenly tribulation.

And this tiny Thousand-Eyed Centipede actually received five hits in one breath.

Although the most powerful one was only three or four tenths of Chen Xuan's.

But it also made Chen Xuan look at him with admiration.

The golden, thousand-eyed centipede was struck by thunder, emitting a meaty aroma, and its skin was charred black.

However, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede was very happy.

There was actually some expression on the ugly face.

Although he couldn't speak yet, he could communicate with Chen Xuan using his spiritual thoughts.

"Master, I'm hungry, give me some more."

The meaning is expressed very clearly.

Chen Xuan opened another bottle and dropped three drops of Emperor's Juice into its mouth.

At the same time, he picked up a large ball of insect spirit essence and covered the more serious wounds of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede bowed to Chen Xuan's centipede feet like a Taoist priest, then curled up into a ball and took a breath to recover.

Soon, it fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged beside the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.

After nine days and nine nights, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede opened its hundred strange eyes.

At this time, its injuries were basically healed.

The demon's body is about ten feet long and shining with golden light.

Except for the two strange eyes on the head, the remaining ninety-eight strange eyes, like bronze bells, are all hidden under the armpits.

As soon as it woke up, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede crawled to Chen Xuan affectionately, twisting its body proudly, overjoyed.

"Okay, I see."

Chen Xuan raised the Emperor Heavenly Worm Immortal Cauldron.

"Get in and rest!"

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede was a little reluctant and looked around, but it still obediently turned into a golden light and disappeared into the Emperor's Heavenly Insect Cauldron.
