Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 52: A Maze Within a Maze

This is a maze within a maze.

The other three were clearly beside him, but he couldn't see anyone.

"Break through the maze and obtain the inheritance of Ziyang Immortal Mansion."

These words echoed in the minds of the four people.

Kong Shangke rushed forward immediately, as if he could obtain the inheritance of Zi Yang Immortal Mansion by taking action first.

Su Muwan and the other girl were still anxiously looking for Dou Eqing. The inheritance of the Immortal Palace seemed fake to the two girls and could not be compared with Dou Eqing.

Dou Eqing tried to summon thunderclouds as soon as possible.

Because he felt that the illusion they were in was like being in the clouds.

I didn't expect that I could really summon thunderclouds from the beast bag.

"Looking for Senior Sister Su and the other two."

He said to the thundercloud.

"I can only find treasures here, not people."

Lei Yun said aggrievedly.

"They are right next to me."

The treasures that Lei Yun mentioned did not impress him, and finding Su Muwan and the other girl was his top priority.

Because he found that he couldn't even back out.

We are not far away now. If we don’t find them quickly, it may become even more difficult to find the two women as time goes by.

He also had doubts about the immortal palace's inheritance.

Now that he was alone, after thinking calmly, he discovered that the opportunities in Ziyang Mansion were all strange.

These opportunities are all built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood, which is very consistent with the methods of the demonic cultivators.

The arrangements made by the evil cultivators are all for their own benefit and not for the benefit of others.

Dou Eqing now suspects that the opportunity in Ziyang Mansion is a conspiracy to let the monks fight here and use the bodies of the dead monks to sacrifice and complete a certain arrangement.

However, he is skilled and courageous, so he is determined to seize this opportunity.

But we have to find Su Muwan and the other one first.

Unfortunately, Su Muwan and the other girl didn’t find it, but met other cultivators instead.

It turned out that there were monks like he thought.

After breaking through the Purple Mansion Realm, they focused their energy on finding greater opportunities.

The demon cultivator he met confessed that they had arrived at this new maze earlier than Dou Eqing and the other three, and had been inside for half a month.

Considering that the demon cultivator was sensible, Dou Eqing did not kill him.

But the other party became more and more aggressive and wanted to follow Dou Eqing.

In order to gain more popularity in this confusing environment, he let the other party follow him.

He had Thunder Cloud by his side, so he wasn't afraid of the other party playing tricks.

In this maze, month after month passed aimlessly.

Dou Eqing had to stop and practice from time to time to pass the time.

His current cultivation direction is the Purple Talisman Realm.

The usual way of cultivation in the Purple Mansion Realm is to condense the true essence and transfer it into the Purple Mansion.

However, with the example of the Purple Cloud Brick, Dou Eqing would definitely not cultivate to the Purple Mansion Realm so easily.

Because Zifu is not only related to the Zifu realm, a realm of cultivation.

The soul in the state of transformation is cultivating in the purple mansion.

The primordial spirit is the second life of a cultivator and is crucial to his entire monastic career.

Therefore, he attached great importance to the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Realm.

He has now transformed from replica Yuan bricks to authentic Yuan bricks, or imitation Yuan bricks.

He borrowed the techniques of Kuan Hai's spirit brick refining and the principles of Yuan bricks he had glimpsed from the purple Yuan bricks, and tried every possible way to condense his true essence into Yuan bricks.

Naturally, he couldn't construct the Yuan Brick into the same way as the Purple Yuan Brick, which had a layer of complex regular Dao patterns on the outside.

He changed the rule pattern into his most basic understanding of "Demon Devouring Heavenly Art" and covered his Yuan brick with the representative characters of the Yuan pattern.

It is equivalent to engraving the understanding of the skills on the surface of the Yuan brick with Yuan patterns.

The Yuan pattern is carved with divine consciousness.

Even though he had found this method, it was still very difficult to implement it, and he could only try it bit by bit. After failing 999 times, when he was carving the Yuan pattern on the thousandth time, he "superfluously" wrote his own name on it with the Yuan pattern, and the Yuan brick was actually successful.

"It is truly a natural gift of writing, a gift that was created by a skilled hand."

Dou Eqing couldn't help but sigh.

And two years have passed since he was trapped in the maze.

During these two years, they met other monks.

They are just the corpses of other monks.

Without exception, these corpses were the result of people going crazy and committing suicide.

It is easy to feel desperate when you can't find your direction in such an environment.

If one is a cultivator of magic and his skills have flaws, it is highly likely that he will go astray and become possessed by the devil.

If he had not been reminded many times by the demon cultivator Dou Eqing, he might have gone astray.

This demon cultivator took the opportunity to worship Dou Eqing as his master.

Dou Eqing was not polite and accepted the other party as a registered disciple. When he would be promoted to a full disciple depended on his performance.

This demon cultivator was not from the Demon Hunting Sect. Like Dou Eqing, he was forcibly dragged into this trial by the Demon Hunting Sect's cultivators.

His name is Guo Jia, he is a beginner in Purple Mansion, his strength is at the bottom among masters of the same realm, but he can kill ordinary cultivators of the same realm in seconds.

Dou Eqing learned from Guo Jia that it was he who took the lead in initiating their group of demon cultivators to give up the purple Yuan bricks and look for other opportunities.

Guo Jia is obviously a very knowledgeable demon cultivator, and he is also very ambitious.

When Dou Eqing acknowledged him as his registered disciple, Guo Jia immediately suggested that Dou Eqing start with Luo Chuyan and plan for the next leader position of the Demon Hunting Sect.

"Master, I have a plan. We can start with the affiliated forces of the Demon Hunting Sect. The Demon Sect is different from the righteous path. The righteous path has a force that is passed down from generation to generation; while in our Demon Sect, there are often forces that cannot be replaced..."

Guo Jia talked incessantly about his plan.

The general direction of his plan was for Dou Eqing to bring the affiliated forces of the Demon Hunting Sect under his own control and empty the Demon Hunting Sect.

But in Dou Eqing's view, he is still a small ant, and this is too far-fetched.

Of course, he was also a little tempted by the opponent's plan, so he could make some arrangements and place one or two chess pieces.

Guo Jia also quickly brought the two closer together because of his advice.

Dou Eqing spent another three years to cultivate to the middle stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.

However, the spirit stones on him have been used up.

He felt that the rate at which spiritual stones were consumed during cultivation in the Purple Mansion Realm was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

He had to refine three thousand spirit stones before he could condense a Yuan brick.

He needs to collect 3,333 Yuan bricks in the early stage of his Purple Mansion.

Could it be that he was in the habit of taking away the enemy's storage ring as soon as he defeated them, and he simply didn't have the spirit stones to cultivate to the middle stage of Purple Mansion?

He had used up all his spirit stones and was unable to practice anymore, and he had no direction for the future, but he knew he had to find something to do.

If he went astray, he didn't know whether Guo Jia could pull him back.

So he began to practice swordsmanship and martial arts.

He really likes the move "Splitting the Sky with Force" in the "Demon Devouring Heaven Technique" which can only be practiced by those in the Jindan realm.

He was thinking about how to practice this sword technique in the Purple Mansion Realm.

"Split the Sky with Force" is introduced in terms of martial arts. It starts with the Golden Elixir, learns the Nascent Soul, kills the enemy with the incarnation, jumps to the next level of Refining Void, jumps to the next level of Fusion, jumps to the next level of Mahayana, and jumps to the next level of Crossing the Tribulation.

In other words, if you continue to practice this move, you may be able to fight against immortals of higher levels when you reach the Tribulation Realm.

Moreover, there seems to be some taboos in "Split the Sky with Force", and advancement to the fifth level is accompanied by a thunder tribulation.

Although "Split the Sky with Force" is a sword technique, if it is successfully performed, it will condense into a force-splitting axe.

The thunder tribulation is borne by this axe of creation.

If one fails to withstand the thunder tribulation, "Splitting the Sky with Force" will need to be cultivated again from the current level.

Dou Eqing deduced from the known memories of the Demon Lord Kuanhai that Kuanhai had not practiced the "Force to Split the Sky".

He actually had no intention of practicing, but because the route was in a maze, he felt that the more challenging the task, the less likely he would get lost.

He spent a year to comprehend the "Force to Split the Sky", thinking about the sword technique as he moved forward.

He didn't know whether he had gone to the right place or the maze had changed, but he suddenly felt that an opportunity was about to come.

　I wish you peace and happiness!
