National awakening: I have attained enlightenment in the dreams of the gods

"The entire Demonic Abyss is filled with energy with negative attributes. Normal plants will turn into ghosts even if they are planted alive. I have lived in the Demonic Abyss for half a year and I have never seen a flowering tree."

"I've never disliked you. You've only been here a few days, so what's there to complain about?"

Her tone was calm and cold, but there was a hint of resentment in it, which made Feng Xi burst into laughter.

It seemed that she was a little dissatisfied with being left in this harsh place by her senior sister.

After all, she is a girl, how could she not like flowers and beautiful scenery?

After staying in such a depressing world all day, it's strange that she can have a good temper.

Thinking of this, Feng Xi rolled her eyes, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind...

Chapter 247 Visiting the Old Puppet!

In fact, although this area is lifeless, there is still some life, but the only trace of life seems a bit false.

After entering the deadwood forest, the group soon saw some short puppets walking in the forest.

They come in different sizes and shapes, with faces of adults, old people and children, but overall they look simple.

They are just like the robots in the Iron Demon City, able to move freely, but they look more intelligent and seem to really have life.

Feng Xi even saw a few child-like puppets playing and playing, which made him think of Pinocchio involuntarily.

Then they saw that these puppets seemed to be doing a job.

Digging, watering, planting trees.

"What do they plant trees for?"

"The bodies of the puppets are made of wood from these ghost trees. Of course, there should be a variety of wood. It can also be used when replacing body parts."

"Oh~"

········

The group of people slowly entered the city, walking in a city made entirely of wood, which gave them a feeling of traveling through time and space.

To be honest, the scenery of the giant wooden castle is far worse than that of the Iron Demon City. It is too simple and I will soon get tired of it.

However, they came here for retreat and breakthrough, not for sightseeing, so that didn't matter.

After renting a wooden house restaurant as a place to stay, the few people did not start retreat immediately, but headed to the center of the giant wooden castle under the leadership of Mu Lanyan.

When they were in the Iron Demon City, Senior Ji's consciousness was controlling the machine body to guard the Tongyuan venue, and it was not convenient to meet them, so they did not visit his body.

But now that they came to the Giant Wood Castle, of course they had to visit Senior Huang who was in charge here first.

Even if you have not received his favor and care, as a student of the academy, it is basic etiquette to visit the master when you come to the other party's territory.

Anyway, it won't take long, even if they are eager to retreat, they don't need more than an hour or two.

"Senior Huang's real name is Huang Mingyuan. He is the leader of the five Zhenyuan demigods and the most powerful. Even the power of the entire Demonic Abyss is in his hands. Please remember to be respectful and don't offend Senior."

After the group of people arrived at a small, crude-looking workshop, Mu Lanyan reminded them in a low voice, but his warning eyes were still staring at Feng Xi blankly.

It seemed to be a reminder to everyone, but it was actually a warning to Feng Xi not to act like a monster.

Feng Xi's nose suddenly turned crooked with anger: Do I look so ignorant?

How unreasonable! How could such a serious and beautiful young man like me suffer such injustice!

It seems that we must find an opportunity to teach her a lesson and let her understand who is the head of the family!

"What are you looking at me for? Senior Huang and I hit it off right away. He will never blame me no matter what. He has praised me more than once as a promising young man, the backbone of Daxia, and the pillar of the country! You are worried about me. Now! There’s nothing to be afraid of!”

Mu Lanyan was speechless: With you like this, how can I rest assured?

Fortunately, she didn't say anything more. She stepped forward and knocked on the door of the small workshop in front of her:

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Senior Huang, Lan Yan and several junior students are here to visit. Is it convenient for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door opened automatically with a creak, and a deep and vicissitudes of voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Several people looked at each other and walked in.

The inside of the workshop is the same as the outside, simple and simple, with nothing strange or mysterious.

They didn't even need to go deep inside. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a tall old man with a long beard sitting in front of a workbench, wearing a craftsman hat, holding tools, and making something skillfully.

Everything looked ordinary, just an old carpenter at work.

But after seeing the puppet child he was assembling, everything became extraordinary again.

When they came in, the puppet was almost completed. When they walked in, the old man's movements had reached the last two steps.

After pressing the puppet's head against his body, he reached out and twisted the top of his head, as if pulling down a thread, and gently pressed it on the puppet's head.

The next moment, the puppet child came to life.

He opened his eyes carved out of wood, shouted "Grandpa" obediently, and then jumped down from the table with great energy.

The movements were relatively unfamiliar at first, but after a while he became completely proficient in using his limbs, no different from a teenage child.

Feng Xi opened the Chaos Emperor Eyes and clearly saw that the old man had indeed pulled an ethereal thread from the void and connected it to the puppet.

Then more and more silk threads automatically extended from the puppet's body, connecting with more silk threads that suddenly appeared.

The more silk threads are connected, the more realistic and flexible its movements become, ending only when it completely controls the body.

These threads give life to a puppet!

Feng Xi's eyes narrowed slightly.

The shock brought to him by the scene in front of him was almost as shocking as the first time he saw Xiao Zhenguo's fairy paper god.

They both give life to mundane things, and to some extent they have the same purpose.

Feng Xi squinted her eyes and looked away, then greeted her companions:

"Senior Huang, we meet again."

"Well, I told you we would meet again."

The old man nodded and glanced at the young people in front of him. A trace of kindness flashed in his old and turbid eyes:

"Yes, they are all good children, especially you, little friend Feng Xi. Your strength has become much stronger. I am very happy to see you outstanding children."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior, we are still far from it."

"This is the most bizarre thing for you to say. You have already spied on the realm of divine transformation, right?"

Senior Huang looked at Feng Xi and said calmly.

Although he asked rhetorically, he was very confident.

Feng Xi suddenly showed a wry smile.

Could it be seen through so easily?

As expected, Jiang is still very old!

Chapter 248 The Demonic Mountain of Prison Suppression! The inheritance of the emperor!

Feng Xi was actually not surprised that his senior saw through this.

So after being slightly surprised, just pretend that nothing happened.

After greeting a few people, Senior Huang invited them to sit down and chat for a while.

Although the old-timer is secretive and full of personality, he has a good personality and is easy to talk to.

At least to them, the younger generation, he is more like an elder who doesn't talk much but is full of kindness and concern.

The content of the chat ranged from small daily matters to guidance on spiritual practice. A few simple words of instruction could benefit juniors like them a lot.

After Mu Lanyan told the news that Feng Xi had successfully destroyed more than a dozen secret realms, Senior Huang finally showed some surprise:

"Oh? That's good, that's good!"

Feng Xi could tell on the spot that his surprise was a bit perfunctory, and he was just pretending to show them.

He obviously knew it a long time ago.

This acting skill is far worse than Xiao Qiyue's.

Feng Xi secretly complained, and then directly asked him her doubts.

"Oh, so you are still confused about our purpose?"

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Although the emperor handed over the Demonic Abyss to us five old guys before his death, we are not strong enough and cannot fully control it. We can only simply maintain the operation of the Demonic Abyss."

"Although more and more secret realms have brought benefits to Moyuan, they have also increased our burden."

"After hundreds of years of operation, there are already too many secret realms in the Demon Abyss. While these secret realms provide the Demon Abyss with a large number of monsters, they are also slowly absorbing the power of the Demon Abyss to grow. If left unchecked, the Demon Abyss's space barrier will be strengthened. Sooner or later it will be overwhelmed and holes will appear.”

"On the contrary, if these secret realms are destroyed, it can also bring many benefits to the Demonic Abyss, strengthen the spatial barriers of the Demonic Abyss, increase the energy concentration in the Demonic Abyss, etc. In short, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

After hearing the explanation, Feng Xi was not very surprised. This was not far from what he had guessed, but doubts still existed:

"If that's the case, why don't the seniors personally destroy these secret realms and control their numbers?"

"The domains of us five old guys have been connected to the origin of the entire Demonic Abyss, and the Secret Realm and the Demonic Abyss have been integrated to some extent, so we can't take action against the Secret Realm, otherwise we will suffer backlash, and the gains will outweigh the losses. .”

"Then there's no need to let the students take risks, right? Facts have proved that they can't do such a thing. What about the teachers in the school? It should be much easier to let them do it, right?"

Feng Xi asked again, but this time it was Mu Lanyan who explained to him:

"It's not as simple as you think. The rules of the Demon Abyss only allow extraordinary people under the age of 40 to enter. Once you enter the Demon Abyss over the age of 40, you will be assimilated and will never be able to leave."

"None of the staff at Tiandu Academy is under 40 years old, so there is nothing they can do about the secret realm."

Only then did Feng Xi's doubts disappear.

But if you think about it carefully, the existence of Moyuan is equivalent to a cheating map to quickly improve your cultivation. If you could infinitely farm monsters and become stronger in it, Tiandu Academy would have cultivated batches of high-level extraordinary beings long ago.

So this is obviously impossible.

You can only stay in this dungeon until you are 40 years old at most. Calculated based on the monster-killing efficiency of a normal person, it is not too outrageous.

After clearing up the doubts in his mind, he originally thought that the visit was over, but Senior Huang suddenly said:

"My dear friend Feng Xi, I have something to ask of you."

"Huh? Senior, is there anything else that a strong man like you needs me to do?"

Feng Xi didn't react for a while, but she immediately guessed that it might be a situation similar to the secret realm, something they couldn't do themselves, so she immediately said:

"Senior Huang, even if you say it bluntly, if this kid can do it, he will do his best."

Huang Mingyuan nodded and said, "That's great! In fact, we have been waiting for this for a long time. It wasn't until we saw you before that we were sure that you were the person who could help us escape."

"relief?"

"Actually, although the power of the Demonic Abyss is in our hands, we at least take charge of it. Many things are very restrictive and very inconvenient. Only the orthodox heirs who have been inherited by the emperor can truly control the entire Cangye Demonic Abyss."

"In fact, our existence is not only to guard the Demonic Abyss, but also to find the legitimate heir for the emperor."

"Heir?"

Feng Xi narrowed her eyes, a little surprised.

Did the Cangye Emperor, the first Starry Sky Realm venerable in the human race, who was more powerful than the Twelve Tianyuan, actually leave behind his own inheritance?

Seeing the change in Feng Xi's expression, Huang Mingyuan continued to explain: "This is not a secret. Before His Majesty the Emperor passed away, he left behind a prison-suppressing Demonic Mountain. It not only sealed the evil god's projection of the Lord of Decline, but was also the inheritance of the Emperor. A place of trial.”

"All geniuses recognized by our five old guys can enter the Magic Mountain to participate in the trial."

"As long as you can pass all the way and reach the top of the mountain, you can get the inheritance left by the emperor."

"We don't know what this inheritance is, but the emperor said that this is a treasure he carefully prepared. It will never improve the extraordinary person less than the twelve Tianyuan inheritance, and unlike the Tianyuan inheritance, it will only help The extraordinary person accumulates the foundation to break through to the starry sky realm, but it will not affect the successor's own potential."

"This will undoubtedly be of great help to those who succeed in the challenge, and once the successor appears, we will be able to escape from the devil's abyss and regain our freedom."

After Feng Xi listened, she was naturally interested, but she was still calm and just nodded:

"That's a win-win thing. If the five seniors can escape, it will be a great help to the whole of Daxia. Daxia may also be able to add another piece of Venerable inheritance."

"Yes, it's a pity that all good things come slowly. Perhaps the emperor's requirements for his successor are too high. The Magic Mountain Trial is very difficult. There are no less than a hundred geniuses who have participated in the trial, but so far no one has been able to succeed."
