I really don't want to go undercover anymore

Chapter 176 Tiannan's Shame
three days later.

Outside the blood pool of the Blood Demon Sect, there were 49 people kneeling respectfully.

At the very front, stood the scrupulous head of the Blood Demon Sect——Xiao Hanyi, whose clothes and hair were well done!
He looked expressionlessly at the kneeling person below, and with a flick of his sleeves, a large cloud of blood sprayed out, enveloping everyone in an instant.

In a flash of blood, everyone disappeared in an instant!

Ok?
Is this gone?
Lu Fang was very puzzled.

Because the shadow body hidden in the shadows did not notice the whereabouts of these people at all.

Quickly entered the cave leading to the blood pool, and only saw a pool of tumbling blood, and there was no one in it!
Weird!
From the conversation between Wu Tong, the hall master, and Ye Yingxue that day, it could be deduced that this altar might be the secret behind the rapid development of the Blood Demon Sect in recent years.

However, Shadow Body searched all over the Blood Demon Sect, but couldn't find anything related to the altar.

Let these 49 people gather outside the blood pool, it should be very likely that the altar is near here!
Then why, after searching all over here, still can't find anything?

Could it be that there is other space here?

Thinking of this, Shadow Body searched the whole mountain carefully again.

But in the end, nothing came of it.

Five Poison Sect, Jade Chan Peak.

"Senior sister, have you heard of the altar?"

Lu Fang found Ye Hongchen and asked straight to the point.

"altar?"

Ye Hongchen was stunned for a moment and said, "The altar is used for offering sacrifices, right? Why did Junior Brother Lu think of asking this?"

Lu Fang said: "I saw it mentioned in a travel note in the library, but I don't know much about it, so I came here to ask."

"Travel notes? There will be some strange things recorded on it."

Ye Hongchen thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about altars. I only know that altars are used to worship gods. During sacrifices, there will be some unique rituals. Different gods have different rituals, and altars are also different. .”

"ceremony?"

Lu Fang couldn't help but recall that he had seen that weird demon dance in Heishui Town before.

Ye Hongchen nodded and said: "My Five Poison Sect doesn't respect the gods, but only respects the sky, so there are no altars, and there are very few altars in the south of the sky, usually ancient sects, um, there are also ancient cults, An altar will be erected."

"An ancient cult?"

Speaking of this, Lu Fang suddenly asked: "Does Senior Sister know about Shengyuan Pill?"

Ye Hongchen thought for a moment, and said, "Junior brother, do you want to talk about the danger you and Qingyun encountered in Heishui Town ten years ago?"

Lu Fang said: "Well, the blood-eating and soul-crushing array arranged by the Huang family in Heishui Town killed so many people just to refine the Shengyuan Pill. Qingyun told me at the time that this array is similar to that of the ancient cult related!"

"Qingyun is right!"

Ye Hongchen said: "This Shengyuan Pill needs to sacrifice at least 99 people under a specific ceremony before it can be successfully refined. This kind of strange and evil law that is devoid of conscience is naturally passed down by those ancient cults. !"

"Those ones?"

Lu Fang grasped the key point and asked: "Sister, is there more than one ancient cult?"

"Naturally there is more than one!"

Ye Hongchen continued: "Junior Brother often goes to the library, so he should know the composition of the entire cultivation world, right?"

Seeing Lu Fang nodded, Ye Hongchen continued: "The east is the east land, the east land is the territory of the Taoist sect, and the west is the place of those smelly monks, this is the farthest north from our Tiannan , is the place of those ancient cults!"

"It is said that I, cultivator Tiannan, is an evil heretic. The Taoist and Buddhist sects that claim to be righteous naturally cannot tolerate us, but do you know why they didn't invade our Tiannan?"

"Invasion?"

This Lu Fang never thought about it, and asked: "Why is this? Is there other reasons besides being too far away?"

Although Tiannan is adjacent to the east and west, one is separated by a snow mountain and the other is separated by a desert. The distance is too far, and it is naturally not easy to invade on a large scale.

"What is this distance?"

Ye Hongchen smiled, and continued: "As long as you reach the golden core stage, you can pass through it in ten days. Didn't the two sisters of Yuntianzong come here like this?"

Then he asked Lu Fang: "Junior Brother Lu is quite familiar with the sisters, what do you think of their strength?"

"Strong!"

Lu Fang continued: "They have many secret methods, and their alchemy skills are also very powerful. Even the master praised them greatly!"

Ye Hongchen said: "I remember my master told me that Yun Tianzong established their sect based on alchemy, so it's normal for them to be good at alchemy."

"However, in terms of overall strength, when they were at their peak, they probably didn't rank among the first-class forces that entered the Eastern Land. At least, there are few records about Yuntianzong in my sect's classics."

"Is Dongtu so powerful?"

Lu Fang was a little puzzled and said, "Didn't Chen Qingquan, their previous suzerains, have killed the Blood Demon Sect and suppressed the old Blood Demon Jiang Ye for more than 600 years? Back then, the Yuntian Sect's strength was not top-notch?"

"Not so much! At that time, their cultivation was only in the early stage of transformation."

Ye Hongchen then said with a serious expression: "As far as I know, as far as the current Daoist sect is concerned, the first-class forces at least have masters in the Void Refining Realm, and may even have the great power in the Composite Realm!"

"Refinement, fit?"

Lu Fang was a little shocked.

He now naturally knows that after transforming into a god, there are these two realms.

Under these two realms, not to mention the golden elixir, even the Nascent Soul stage is also an ant!
As for Tiannan, as far as Lu Fang knew, the one with the highest cultivation level was the patriarch Du Tianhua.

Then he asked very puzzled: "Senior sister, besides the three sects on the surface, do I have other hidden strengths in Tiannan?"

He had to wonder that the Five Poison Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, the Corpse Refining Sect, and the Xuanyin Sect were the strongest forces in Tian Nanming's face.

But, if that's the case, wouldn't the Daoist sect attack easily?
Ye Hongchen said: "There must be hidden strength, but it's not the main reason why Taoism and Buddhism don't intervene in Tiannan. The most important reason is that they can't get away!"

"Can't get away?"

Lu Fang thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about those cults in the extreme north?"

"That's right!"

Ye Hongchen continued: "The land of the extreme north connects with the east and the west, and those cults have always wanted to unify the entire practice world! Those masters and powers of Taoism and Buddhism have always been restrained by them!"

Lu Fang was shocked and said: "Those cults in the extreme north are so powerful?"

Ye Hongchen nodded, and said, "They worship evil gods. It is said that they can obtain the power of evil gods after offering sacrifices through the altar!"

"It's not like us, who need to practice for so long, and only Taoist and Buddhist sects keep watching them. Otherwise, this practice world may be occupied by them!"

"altar?"

Lu Fang was shocked and said, "How is this possible? I'm afraid there will be a price to pay, right?"

"That's natural!"

Ye Hongchen continued: "While gaining great strength, there must be a price to pay. Although I don't know exactly what to pay, the price must be not small!"

Remembering the conversation between Wu Tong and Ye Yingxue, Lu Fang paused and asked, "Senior sister, do you think the price will be lifespan? They offered lifespan to the so-called evil god in exchange for strength?"

Ye Hongchen nodded and said, "It's very possible! Some people who have no hope of breaking through and have been stuck in a certain realm, if they are asked to pay their lifespan, they can make a breakthrough, and they are willing to do so!"

Lu Fang nodded, and then asked: "Senior sister, the Blood Demon Sect has developed so rapidly in recent decades, has the sect ever thought that they are people who have come into contact with a cult?"

"Blood Demon Sect?"

Ye Hongchen was stunned, and said: "I'm afraid they don't dare! But anyone who knows about cults understands that they are lunatics, once they get infected, they are like tarsal maggots, which cannot be shaken off. "

"Besides, there are Taoist and Buddhist sects watching, people from the extreme north should not be able to get through."

Lu Fang asked, "What about the Huang Family's Shengyuan Pill?"

Ye Hongchen said: "Many people are aware of this. Huang's family originally belonged to the Taoist Five Elements Sect. The Five Elements Sect is located in Dongtu near the extreme north. His refining method of Shengyuan Pill is probably derived from The spoils of war in the hands of the cultists."

Booty?
I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?

Lu Fang thought about it for a while, and didn't ask too much about it. Instead, he asked, "Senior sister, why is there such a difference between Tiannan and other places?"

Not to mention the weird evil sects in the extreme north, even the Eastern Earth Taoist School, the Western Buddhist School, and the Tiannan cultivators are all far behind!

Without waiting for Ye Hongchen to answer, he continued, "Could it be because of the beast tide, that the beast tide has restricted Tiannan's development?"

"Not at all!"

Ye Hongchen said: "The beast tide happens once every 100 years, not only in Tiannan, but in all places. Otherwise, when the monks in Tiannan encounter the beast tide, wouldn't they just go to other places?"

"There are animal hordes everywhere?"

Lu Fang then asked: "Senior Sister, are you saying that besides Tiannan, there are similar Manglins in other places?"

Ye Hongchen said: "In the depths of the mang forest is the demon realm, which connects the entire cultivation world, and every hundred years there will be a wave of beasts in the demon realm!"

"The entire practice world connected?"

Lu Xin was shocked, and then said: "How is this possible! Sister, I have been to the Manglin, it doesn't feel that big, right? And it doesn't mean that you can reach the Qianling Snow Mountain next to Dongtu by crossing the Manglin?"

Ye Hongchen said: "The mang forest is the mang forest, and the demon domain is the demon domain. The mang forest is just a drop in the bucket of the demon domain. I know the road you mentioned. It is just a protruding part of the python forest. Even if you cross it, It is far from the edge of the demon realm!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to ask: "Master, do you know how big our Tiannan is?"

Lu Fang thought for a while, and said: "We should be in the center of Tiannan. Thousands of miles to the east is where the Blood Demon Sect is located, and to the west is the territory of Xuanyin Sect and Corpse Refining Sect."

"The Blood Demon Sect is thousands of miles away, but how far south is the Blood Demon Sect?"

Ye Hongchen didn't wait for Lu Fang's answer and continued: "The blood demon sect is nearly [-] miles south to the east, but the farther south it is, the more barren it is. The blood demon sect doesn't like it, so it keeps moving closer to our five poison sect. "

"But to the west of my sect, it takes a long distance, more than [-] miles to reach the western desert!"

Seeing Lu Fang's doubts, Ye Hongchen continued: "I know my junior is a bit confused, but the root cause of Tiannan's lack of strength compared to other places is Manglin!"

"Brother should know by now that the center of our entire practice world is the demon realm, right?"

Lu Fang nodded.

Ye Hongchen continued: "Other places, the east, the west, and even the extreme north are the same. They don't have places like Manglin, and the only border with them is the Demon Realm!"

"The mang forest is unique to our Tiannan for thousands of years! Our Tiannan monks were driven out by the monsters in the demon realm!"

Speaking of this, Ye Hongchen paused, and said: "This is the shame of our entire Tiannan cultivator, and it is also something that everyone who knows the inside story is unwilling to mention!"

Seeing that Lu Fang was shocked and did not speak, she continued:

"Junior Brother's practice time is still short, you have not yet realized that our Tiannan is the farthest place from the center of this practice world, and the spiritual energy is also the lowest place!"

"Although we now have a lot of resources in Tiannan, they are much worse than those in the east and west. This is why they have never invaded Tiannan except for being restrained by the extreme north!"

Lu Fang took a long time to digest before asking: "Senior sister, according to what you said, the center of this practice world is occupied by the monster domain? And the monster beast has the strongest strength in the entire practice world?"

Ye Hongchen nodded and said: "That's the fact. My human monks rarely go deep into the demon realm. At least, I have no record of this in Tiannan."

"Record?"

Lu Fang asked: "That's right! The senior sister told me today, why I haven't seen it in the library, it stands to reason that such a big thing, it is impossible that no one has recorded it!"

Ye Hongchen said: "What's the use of knowing these things? I only knew these things when I became a disciple of the sect's inheritance."

After a pause, he looked at Lu Fang and said, "Master, do you know that our sect has encountered the biggest trouble since the ancestor established the sect?"

Lu Fang asked: "Senior sister is talking about what happened after my sect was unsealed?"

Ye Hongchen nodded, and said: "Before sealing the sect, the peak masters of each peak, including the inheritance disciples of each peak, had a discussion. Only then did I know that this beast tide is not as simple as before."

"not that simple?"

Lu Fang was surprised: "Sister, you mean this beast tide will be stronger than before?"

Ye Hongchen said solemnly: "Yes, every thousand years, there will be a large-scale outbreak of beasts in the Monster Realm, and this time the beast tide is about to erupt! This is what the ancestor said personally."

"He personally experienced the catastrophe thousands of years ago. Yes, the ancestor used the word catastrophe. He said that there will be at least super-level monsters and above in the large-scale outbreak of beasts in the demon realm!"

High-level monsters are equivalent to having the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, and Lu Fang knows that super-level monsters like the ancestors are equivalent to the strength of the Transformation God Stage.

"Above super-level monsters?"

Lu Fang asked: "Senior Sister, are you saying that there will be monsters that are equivalent to the realm of Void Refining in this beast tide?"

Ye Hongchen nodded, and said: "Monster beasts above the super level have the ability to transform into forms. At that time, they will not be called beasts, but monsters!"

"And, according to the ancestor, more than one demon appeared a thousand years ago!"

Lu Fang was surprised: "More than one? Then how can we Tiannan resist it?"
