Chapter 131: The Demon Clan's Lord, the Ancient Land of Lion Camel Ridge
In the void, a magic talisman was suspended, with red lines and patterns that looked like talismans and paintings.
After the destruction of the statue, it emerged.
The old land god said, "This magic scroll contains a lot of energy. Taking it will be of great benefit to the gods. How about I and Taoist Zi Yan each take half?"
"Okay, you two decide." Xu Yang nodded, not wanting to deny it.
The old man divided the land god's talisman into two parts, and then swallowed his own part in one gulp.
The entire body became solid at a speed visible to the naked eye, and different patterns gradually appeared on the Dharma body.
After an unknown amount of time, the old land man opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air.
"Phew, that's it."
The old man's cultivation level officially returned to the initial stage, and he awakened new magical powers.
His peak power is the Great Dan Realm. In ancient times, he was also an ordinary land god, a being who was ordered around by others. Now in this era, he is also considered a small master.
Zhao Ziyan accepted the treasure but did not rush to swallow it.
"I'll go back and swallow it. It's not very convenient here."
She has to study it carefully before absorbing it to ensure that every bit of strength can be utilized.
They looked around to make sure nothing was left behind.
The old land god said, "Great Sage, we should not stay here for long. Let's leave first and discuss this in the temple."
"Alright."
The old man from the land emitted a beam of white light, which enveloped everyone and disappeared underground with them.
Return to the Stone Temple.
A group of people studied the map.
"This place is located deeper in the Yin Mountains, in the basin where the Xingjiang River, the main stream of the Qujiang River, is located."
Qujiang River originates from Xingjiang River and is a tributary of this river.
In the Yinshan Three Kingdoms area, most of the rivers originate from the depths of the Yinshan Mountains, and their final source is within the territory of the Shuisui Kingdom.
The Fire Kingdom has a large territory, but its population is actually not that large. Because it is controlled by the upstream Water Marrow Kingdom, there is a period of drought every year and frequent floods during the rainy season. Most of the floods are caused by the Water Marrow Kingdom. The endless fighting between the two countries is mostly due to this reason.
"This place is not under the jurisdiction of the Fire Nation. There may be forces from the Water Marrow Nation."
Most of the mortals' territories are on the outskirts of Yinshan Mountain. If you go deeper, although it is nominally the land of the Fire Kingdom on the map, the Fire Kingdom does not have much control over the depths of Yinshan Mountain.
When you arrive at this area, in addition to scattered monsters, there may also be demon clans, as well as strange people hidden in the deep mountains and forests, remnants of wild Buddhas, and so on.
Back then, Qing Hai Di didn't even dare to enter the depths of Yinshan Mountain and could only take advantage of the surrounding areas.
It can be seen how dangerous it is deep in the Yin Mountains.
"I have a plan. I will use the Water Palace to drive the water tribe to expand towards Xingjiang. As for faith, the wild people and even the monster tribe in the mountains can also provide faith."
Zhao Ziyan thought about it and put forward her own opinion.
"Okay, let's do this." Xu Yang nodded in agreement.
Everyone returns to reality.
The situation in Jiuyou Temple was calm and peaceful, and the high-ranking officials of the county palace kept their mouths shut. Until now, no news had been heard.
There is a cave for hiding soldiers, with palaces and pavilions everywhere and beautiful trees and orchids.
Xu Yang came to the backyard of the palace, where a female demon was imprisoned. The courtyard wall was high and an invisible ban separated the sky from this place.
The woman had green silkworm eyebrows and dark gold eyes. She was extremely beautiful and had an exotic look.
"Gui Xiang, how are you these days?" Xu Yang said with a smile.
Gui Xiang looked at him coldly without saying a word.
The hatred in his eyes seemed to never fade away despite the passage of time. Xu Yang didn't care and stepped forward to untie Gui Xiang's clothes.
Since you are already doing unconventional things, it's time for you to do something unconventional.
He will never let this woman go until he has drained her treasure hole of cultivation dry.
"I forgot to tell you that Gui Yan has been transformed into a zombie by me. His strength is pretty good."
Gui Xiang's body stiffened, and in the end he did not say anything, but remained silent.
He originally hoped that his brother would save him, until his brother was defeated by this man. Finally, he placed his hope on the clan, but the clan turned a deaf ear to him, as if their sacrifice was in vain.
Gui Xiang tried every possible way, but to no avail, and finally had to accept his fate.
In places she couldn't detect, streams of energy were continuously being injected into her body, refining her foundation.
Humans and demons cannot coexist, mainly because their methods are incompatible with each other. Demons cannot practice human methods, and humans cannot practice demon methods.
Of course, the cultivators who refine monsters can integrate the monster blood into their bodies, but they can only transform into monsters.
Unless both sides are controlled by slavery spells, they cannot get along harmoniously. However, this method of slavery has undoubtedly exacerbated the conflict between the two races of monsters and humans.
However, Xu Yang is not repelled by the power of the demon clan, and can even refine the demon clan's inner elixir.
Currently, he is trying to find a way to refine the monsters with the help of Gui Xiang.
"If I can master this method, I might be able to become the leader of the demon race in the future."
Refining is one thing, but control is the key.
One day, the demon race will be able to break free from the restrictions of blood and food and integrate into the Nine Netherworld.
Rather than calling it refining, Xu Yang would rather call it enlightenment.
In ancient times, enlightenment was a powerful authority.
The demons that have been enlightened can cleanse their demon bones and blood, practice normally, and get rid of the emotions brought by their blood.
Some monsters are not necessarily bad, it's just that their bloodlines control their personalities. People's perception of monsters is sometimes not a stereotype. For example, foxes are cunning, tigers are violent, and phoenixes are arrogant. Most of these are defects brought about by their bloodlines.
From Xu Yang's own perspective, human beings are undoubtedly the most perfect innate Taoist body, with seven emotions and six desires, eight extraordinary meridians and everything they should have.
Bloodline does not affect human cognition, there is only acquired influence.
This is the most perfect state.
In the days that followed, Xu Yang studied with Gui Xiang all day long, and this woman gradually learned the method of Ming Fei. This time he could control this woman's body without any magic.
But that's not enough.
Deep in the Yin Mountains.
Xingjiang River, with its swift and surging water, is like a long dragon, winding through the dark green mountains. The water flow brings new life to the lifeless mountains. Countless tribes rely on this water for their livelihood. The lower reaches also have more than ten tributaries, nourishing the creatures outside the mountains.
The narrowest part of Xingjiang River is ten miles wide. Black fish as big as houses swim in groups. Dark shadows are hazy under the green water, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing. Ferocious beasts on the shore are dragged into the water, and bright red blood appears on the surface of the water before it returns to calm.
A river has quiet, deep, gorgeous and surging scenery.
Countless monsters, big and small, live in the water and on the shore.
This is Yinshan Mountain, the most dangerous Yinshan Mountain.
The ancient land of Lion Camel Ridge, the former residence of the Demon King.
The demon court that dominated the three realms has been destroyed, but the legacy they left behind still has an influence today.
The Fire King claims to control the 800-li core area of Yinshan Mountain, but Yinshan Mountain is more than 800 miles long, and what he controls is only the essence of the earth veins.
General Black Fish stuck his head out of the water and looked at the endless river in amazement.
"Is this it?"
