Fellow cultivators, or even old friends, would inevitably feel a little sad to see him end up like this.
Shen Qing didn't have much excitement in her heart. She looked at the lake not far away and fell into deep thought. She didn't notice the energy of other demons.
"This place is called Mirror Lake, and it is connected to a foreign cave. The demons gathered here must be huddled in that cave, and the outside world cannot detect it."
Jiang Youning turned her head and looked at Shen Qing. Seeing that she was staring at the lake in the distance, she seemed to be confused, so she immediately spoke.
"I see."
Shen Qing suddenly realized, took a step forward, and raised the sword in his hand again.
boom--
The blade light, accompanied by a dragon's roar, fell into the Mirror Lake. The water did not cause any ripples, but a gap suddenly appeared in the sky above.
Suddenly, the wind howled violently, and a mighty spiritual energy wavered from the crack, splashing out rays of light.
Shen Qing also knew that this was the entrance to the cave without Jiang Youning's reminder.
The moment the entrance appeared, more than a dozen True Sovereigns formed an invisible formation. Five of them protected Shen Qing in the middle. Two True Sovereigns held the entrance open, and the rest stepped into the entrance first to explore the way.
In this regard, Shen Qing did not say much. In the land of the Northern Territory, these true kings have lived for countless years, opening mountains, opening up seas, and digging graves. They are experienced experts. They know themselves far better than she does. What should be done.
After a moment, the safety talisman was sent back from the entrance, and the five true monarchs protected Shen Qing and stepped into the blessed land of the cave.
The moment he crossed the entrance, abundant spiritual energy poured into Shen Qing's body from his mouth and nose, making his whole body feel comfortable.
There was no sun or moon above my head, and I entered an alien space filled with dim light.
What he saw was a desolate land, with faint traces of fields and ridges, and a giant beast lying on the ground, dying, with its scales shattered and demon blood splattered everywhere.
Obviously, this big demon happened to be staying at the entrance and bore the brunt of the attack, and was suppressed by several True Lords on the spot.
"I have explored this cave before. It should be a medicine field left by a certain sect in ancient times. Unfortunately, the elixir has been destroyed by those demons, and not even the roots are left."
Looking at the cave in front of him, a trace of distress flashed in Jiang Youning's eyes: "It's a waste of resources to be ignorant of spirituality."
In ancient times, when spiritual practice was at its peak, all kinds of elixirs and magical elixirs emerged in endlessly. It was not uncommon for elixirs to directly help people overcome three tribulations and directly lead to the Mysterious Gate of Creation.
These spiritual plants left over from ancient times are of extremely high value. Many of the miraculous elixirs unearthed from the ruins have become a piece of waste paper because many of the elixirs have disappeared and cannot be refined.
Shen Qing casually cut off the big demon's head with a sword. After the sundial absorbed the Qing Qi, he let several True Lords take action to divide the big demon's flesh and blood demon elixir and its scale armor.
These things are of no use to her. There will be many places that will need the help of these true monarchs in the future. These people cannot be allowed to waste their efforts without getting any benefits.
Without interests, this simple alliance will soon have rifts.
Putting aside the power of the God-Slaying Alliance, the thoughts of the true monarchs of the Demon Slayer Division will definitely change. No one likes to do things that are thankless.
There are four powerful qi machines in the cave, and the demonic qi reaches the sky.
Although the cave is a treasure, it also has a shortcoming. There is only one entrance and exit.
Now that the entrance has been blocked, the remaining four demons are in a difficult situation.
Under the joint efforts of more than a dozen veteran true kings, the remaining four monsters had no enemies at all. They could not even make a splash, and were killed one by one in the blink of an eye.
In just half a day, the entire cave was cleared.
After killing six big demons one after another, the sword in Shen Qing's hand showed its sharp edge, and the blood dragon soul in it was also warmed and nourished, and its spirituality increased greatly.
A killing soldier needs blood and temperature to nourish him. A weapon that has never seen blood, no matter how high its grade, cannot be called a fighting soldier.
The energy provided by the six-headed demon to Shen Qing was quite astonishing.
Therefore, she did not leave this cave, but directly began to retreat and began to attack the divine treasure in her body.
She wanted to convert the accumulated energy into her own cultivation and combat power as soon as possible.
There is no point in keeping energy in your hands. Jiuyou doesn't know when she will come back to find her. No matter how much energy you keep, it will only be wasted.
…………
…………
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
When Shen Qing stepped out of the secret realm again, the divine treasure in her body lit up forty-seven more times, approaching the two hundred mark.
Before Shen Qing could relax, a letter from Beitang Shifeng put her in a dilemma.
According to the letter, there were signs that the Red Blood Molten Star Formation would be activated. It seemed that something had stimulated the Nine Nether Saint King, causing him to move ahead of schedule.
(End of this chapter)
176. Chapter 176 Dragon Palace, Decision
176.
There was a sudden movement in the formation, and for a while Shen Qing couldn't be sure whether it was related to him.
Maybe Jiuyou discovered some secrets from her, changed his original thoughts, and prompted him to move forward.
The Red Blood Molten Star Formation has always been Shen Qing's biggest doubt.
She has attained a certain level of spiritual formation, and has personally inspected the clear formation patterns in various places. She is very clear about the power of this great formation.
In front of such a large formation covering most of the stars, even Zhenjun Guiyi turned to dust in an instant. Once activated, Jiuyou can control the life and death of all living creatures on the star in an instant.
While Shen Qing was thinking, all the True Lords waiting outside looked at each other with horror in their eyes.
Although they already knew that Shen Qing was not an ordinary person, in just half a month, they had opened up forty-seven more divine treasures, which was beyond their knowledge.
The further back the sacred treasure is, the more difficult it becomes to open it. In the later stages, it may even take dozens or even hundreds of years to open a sacred treasure.
Among them, there were very few who had opened the divine treasures past fifty. At most, one person had only opened ninety-six divine treasures. It was precisely because of this that the true king entered the realm of return to unity at the age that all the true kings had. The greatest among you.
Because he wasted too much time in the Divine Treasure Realm, he missed many ancient secret realms that True Lord could explore, and the loss was immeasurable.
This road is difficult to walk, but it is currently the only way to tear apart the shackles of the gods.
In ancient times, many people have heard the legend of a monk from the Divine Cang Realm who went up in reverse and crossed two great realms to kill the True God of Creation.
Someone had tried it before in the previous dynasty, and it finally ended in Shen Zang 232. After the divine form was unified, its combat power far exceeded that of the great monks at the peak of the Guiyi Realm. It was based on this that the previous dynasty started. A battle against God.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain in the end.
After opening many divine treasures, his combat power is amazing, but he is still far away from the Holy King of Nine Nethers. At most, he can barely be called a demigod.
When the battle to defeat the gods began, the demigod could not withstand a single round before he was completely destroyed and was killed by Jiuyou.
Since then, no one has taken this road.
When manpower is finally exhausted, not everyone has the courage to bet their whole life on an illusory hope.
Now, it seemed that real hope, or in other words, a miracle appeared before their eyes.
After learning about Jiuyou's movements, Shen Qing's face turned pale, her heart became more and more urgent, and she opened forty-seven sacred treasures one after another. She felt more clearly the gap in strength between her and Jiuyou.
Jiuyou's combat power has definitely broken through the sixth level limit, and having the power to fight a true god is definitely beyond her reach now.
These true monarchs were not aware of the movement of the sundial at all, but Jiuyou could feel the fluctuations of the law. From this alone, some clues could be discerned.
Once the formation is activated and the star core falls into Jiuyou's hands, she has no hope of turning around.
Jiuyou can let her go once or twice, but one day, his patience will run out, and this day may come soon.
"Not enough, far from enough."
Shen Qing whispered in her heart that she needed a qualitative change. The number of divine treasures that had been opened now was still far from enough. She needed more demon corpses to pave the way.
After gathering his thoughts, Shen Qing raised his head and looked at the True Lords beside him, and said in a deep voice: "What are the current trends in the Northern Territory?"
"The demons in the Northern Territory are dormant, and a large number of them are secretly moving towards the North Sea."
"Except for some hidden caves, there are no sixth-level demons in the Northern Territory now. They have disappeared without a trace."
"A few days ago, the Dragon King of the North Sea came forward and issued a decree, saying that the Northern Territory is not only the world of humans, and asked us to stop immediately and not to besiege and kill monsters anymore. If we don't comply, he will gather an army and bloodbath the Northern Territory as a way to express his gratitude to us. The Central Dynasty seeks an explanation."
Although many True Lords did not know the content of the letter, looking at Shen Qing's solemn expression, they quickly guessed that something had happened, and they did not dare to neglect and spoke one after another.
In just a few words, Shen Qing already understood the current situation. For a moment, anger surged in his eyes, and murderous intent was terrifying:
"Then take the Dragon Palace first and kill the Dragon King of the North Sea!"
Now either you die or I die.
With the sharp blade at her neck, Shen Qing didn't have much time to think about the trade-offs. She was not a very wise person to begin with. To stop her from slaying the demon would be to take away her life.
With nearly 200 divine treasures opened, Shen Qing's combat power has greatly increased again. An ordinary True Lord can suppress it by raising his palm, and with nearly twenty experienced True Lords on his side, she can also dare to break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den. .
"The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas can move the whole body with a single move. To start a war with the Dragon Palace of the North Sea is to make an enemy of the sea monsters in the world."
"If this battle cannot be resolved quickly, it may cause turmoil in the four regions. This matter needs to be reported to the imperial court first and please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a decision."
"Now that the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea exists in name only, and the monster tribes in the Four Seas have lost their former glory, this matter is not impossible."
"But the great demons of the Dragon Palace in the North Sea have gathered together. We are all out, and the northern region is empty. If there is a great demon causing trouble at this time, the situation will be quite passive."
"Instead of being frightened, it is better to use all the knowledge within the Qi Sect and bring all the elders and disciples of our respective sects with us to decide the outcome in a battle."
Beihai has existed since ancient times. Even Jiuyou has not wiped it out. There is a reason for it.
After hearing Shen Qing's decision, the true kings did not refute, but began to consider it comprehensively, and vaguely divided into two groups.
The True Lords of the Demon Slaying Division wanted to report to the dynasty. On the one hand, they asked for help, and on the other hand, they reminded the dynasty to make preparations in advance to prevent the people of the four regions from being poisoned in a hurry.
The ancestors of the God-Slaying Alliance supported Shen Qing's decision. They already regarded Shen Qing as their only hope and were willing to help him at all costs to fight for a moment of survival.
"I will send a message to His Royal Highness, please wait a moment."
After listening to the advice of all the True Lords, Shen Qing quickly made a decision and immediately sent a letter to Beitang Shifeng, clarifying the current situation and asking for his thoughts.
The lives of these true kings do not belong to Shen Qing. Now it is she who asks for help from others. She will not act arbitrarily to avoid separation of people's hearts.
These true kings are all human beings who have lived for countless years. If they are too strong, they will only have the opposite effect.
…………
…………
In just half a day, Beitang Shifeng's reply was delivered to Shen Qing.
[All transfer orders in December will be complied with. Anyone who fails to comply with the transfer orders or shrinks from the battle can be killed first and then reported. 】
What came was not a letter, but an imperial edict, stamped with the seal of the Central Dynasty, and the meaning could not be clearer.
