Chapter 283 Hey, You See, I Was Defending Myself
As a special spiritual material that is formed only when a large secret realm is broken, the empty spirit crystal contains extremely rich spatial power.
The portable space built with this is not as large as the previous Shennong Secret Realm, but it is more stable.
Even if it is refined into a life magic weapon, its spatial stability and power will be further improved with Zhang Wei's cultivation.
Of course, doing so is also a huge burden for the cultivators. After all, things like life magic weapons require the cultivators to spend time and energy to continuously cultivate.
But this is not unworkable for Zhang Wei.
After all, Zhang Wei has six incarnations, which can be continuously cultivated in a relay manner, so that this magic weapon will not be outdated.
If you want to do it, do it. Zhang Wei immediately took out the Bai Ze Zhaozhen Mirror and tried the formula of this imaginary magic weapon according to its guidance.
In this way, spring and autumn came, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Since the five major sects got the signal tower and the refining method of the new communication jade card from Zhang Wei, they have been working non-stop to popularize the signal tower project, aiming to set up signal towers in all aspects of the five regions, and taking extra care of some recorded spiritual veins polluted by turbid air.
But in just three years, it is not enough for the five major sects to produce enough signal towers for their own directly governed territories.
So this is a long-term project, and even with the powerful productivity brought by the immortal cultivators, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
But it will not exceed a hundred years at most. If nothing unexpected happens in the middle, when Zhang Wei returns to the five regions next time, the ecological environment of the five regions will have undergone a radical change.
In addition to this matter.
The tense atmosphere in Linglong Region, which was caused by the Linglong Island cultivators' massacre of the ambitious people, gradually eased with the three years of peace.
After this battle, more than half of the immortal cultivation families and sects on Linglong Island were destroyed, and the immortal cultivation forces of many countries were directly uprooted.
This move scared not only those immortal cultivation forces with spiritual veins, but also those rootless casual cultivators.
For three whole years, those daring robbers did not dare to move outside, fearing that they would be caught by the Linglong Island cultivators, which in disguise increased the safety factor of Linglong Domain.
The Zhang family of Chen Kingdom was also affected by this storm.
Although Linglong Island did not do anything to them due to the residual power of Qun Yao, the fifth branch of the Zhang family still offered a large amount of wealth to Linglong Island.
Then they announced that they would close the mountain gate, and it seemed that they were planning to avoid this storm.
It must be said that this was a very smart move.
Although the Zhang family has fallen now, it does not mean that the five branches of the Zhang family are all good-for-nothings who only know how to suck people's blood.
They still have the ability to judge the situation.
Three years later, a piece of news came from the Zhang family that the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Tianyi, successfully broke through the Purple Mansion Realm and his life span increased by another 300 years!
As soon as this news came out, it instantly set off the cultivation world of the seven countries near Chen State.
Originally, the Zhang family was the strongest cultivation family in the seven countries around, and it was protected by the Jindan Zhenren, so it always acted arrogantly, and even the Yunshang Sect and the White Lotus Sect kept away from it.
Now that the family has added another Purple Mansion Master, won’t it be more popular?
Especially most of the Zhang family’s power is still in the territory of the Yunshang Sect.
At that time, the Purple Mansion forces of both sides will inevitably confront each other for the sake of interests. What should I do in this storm?
All the scattered cultivators and low-level forces in the seven countries started to think.
Many scattered cultivators and low-level forces simply went directly to Canglong Mountain to congratulate, intending to bet on the merit of following the dragon first.
For a time, the whole Chen State was in turmoil.
Not long after, when the Zhang family sent out invitations to invite the seven countries' immortal cultivation families and the Taoists to Canglong Mountain to participate in the Purple Mansion Ceremony, the Yunshang Sect, which had been silent all along, suddenly announced that a great cultivator of the late Purple Mansion had joined the sect and would serve as the Grand Elder of the Yunshang Sect, becoming an existence only below the current sect master of the Yunshang Sect, Master Yunxi.
And the name of the new Grand Elder of the Yunshang Sect is... Qin Fan!
A master of the Purple Mansion, and a great cultivator of the late Purple Mansion, joined the Yunshang Sect, instantly suppressing the news of Zhang Tianyi's breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, and making the Zhang family's advantage disappear.
Many people were intimidated by the power of the Yunshang Sect, and on the day of Zhang Tianyi's Purple Mansion Ceremony, they made excuses not to come. Even the King of Chen, who was originally regarded as a running dog by the Zhang family, only sent a symbolic imperial edict instead of coming in person.
The Zhang family's defense was broken.
It is said that Zhang Tianyi, the newly promoted Purple Mansion, was so angry that he walked out on the spot during the Purple Mansion Ceremony, which made all the guests feel that their trip was worthwhile while they were trembling with fear.
At least they had a good time eating melons.
Although the Zhang family had one more Purple Mansion, it also completely aroused the backlash of Yunshang Sect. This unpleasant Purple Mansion Ceremony was the signal gun before the fight between the two forces.
After this, the contradiction between the new force of the Zhang family and the old ruler of Yunshang Sect will be exposed.
The entire Chen Kingdom will become their arena.
What will happen afterwards, whether the Zhang family will replace Yunshang Sect as the new noble of Linglong Domain, or Yunshang Sect will continue to defend its status as the main sect of Linglong Domain like it defeated Luoxia Sect.
Just when the situation in Chen Kingdom was turbulent, Zhang Wei, who was practicing in Yulong Mountain in the distance, opened his eyes.
Then he silently took out a golden tortoise shell from his arms, and looking at the unfamiliar words gradually emerging on it, Zhang Wei knew.
The Baxia Demon Feast is about to begin!
...
Floating Wave Island
This island is located in the blue sea five million miles east of the Five Regions.
The area is only a hundred miles in radius, not large, but the spiritual energy on the island is very rich. Most areas have reached the third level, and the core has even reached the fourth level.
But the surrounding water is very turbulent. Looking down from the sky, you will find that the surrounding seawater is flowing around the floating wave island in a spiral, like a big whirlpool, and the floating wave island is at the center of this whirlpool.
If ordinary Qi-refining sea monsters come to this place, they will be crushed by the turbulent seawater in a short time. Even the foundation-building monsters cannot live here for a long time. According to legend, there are even peerless monsters descending here, swallowing up the creatures within a radius of ten thousand miles to fill their stomachs, causing the surrounding sea creatures to suffer.
To this day, if the sea monsters land on the island, they can still sense the Dao rhyme of the great monster left here, and they will be in danger of being contaminated by the Dao if they are not careful.
Therefore, in the legends of the sea tribes within a radius of thousands of miles, this island has always been a forbidden area.
Even though the spiritual energy on this island is rich, no foundation-building monster beast or purple mansion monster dares to occupy it for cultivation.
But today, a light of escape suddenly lit up in the sky above Fubo Island.
A red cloud, with rolling heat waves, came to a mountain without any concealment, and then a blazing red light swept across, sweeping across the top of the mountain without any hesitation, and directly cut this spiritual peak into a platform.
Then the red cloud fell, revealing a huge man with a sturdy figure and a layer of flaming hair on his chest.
The aura of the bearded man was so strong that it rushed straight into the sky. His magic power almost overflowed uncontrollably, dyeing the sky within a thousand miles into a red color, scaring the nearby sea monsters to tremble like sieves, and they huddled in the seabed without even daring to show their heads.
This is a Yuanying Zhenjun!
And he is at the peak of the middle Yuanying stage, and he is only one step away from entering the late Yuanying stage!
"Are you the holder of the Baxia Demon Order? Which water palace are you from?"
At this time, a cold voice sounded outside Fubo Island.
Then, a blue beast with a body size of more than a thousand feet rushed out of the sea and hovered in the sky, looking coldly at the bearded man below.
This beast has horns like a deer, a head like a snake, eyes like a turtle, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, a palm like a tiger, and ears like a cow!
It is a real dragon!
And it is so powerful that it is even stronger than this bearded man!
It was a real dragon in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!
With the strength of a real dragon, even though it was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it was not afraid of the late or even peak Nascent Soul masters, and naturally did not take the bearded man who was only in the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul seriously.
But the bearded man was not afraid of the power of the real dragon.
He just sneered: "I am Wu Zhen, and I meet the Dragon King of Bi Bo!"
Then he took out a golden tortoise shell and said: "I am indeed the holder of the Baxia Demon Order, but I am not the Lord of the Water Palace.
But please rest assured, Dragon King, I have not done anything to the Lord of the Water Palace. This thing was given to me voluntarily by the old turtle.
Anyway, anyone who holds the Baxia Demon Order can attend the demon banquet. As for who holds the Baxia Demon Order, there are not so many requirements, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the Dragon King in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul snorted coldly.
"Hmph! Don't be so proud, you hairy demon. You'll suffer when you get to the Baxia Demon Palace!"
"Haha, thank you, Lord Dragon, for reminding me. I'm very grateful!"
The bearded man sneered, then bowed to Lord Bibo Dragon indifferently.
Then, as if sensing something, he suddenly turned his head and shouted at the void behind him: "Since you are here, why do you have to hide your head and show your tail? Wouldn't it be a joke for a great Yuanying demon king?"
"This is my unique escape method. You just opened your mouth in advance and started to criticize me. It's really rude!"
As soon as the voice fell, two light gray clouds slowly emerged in the void. If you don't look carefully, you probably won't find it.
There are countless flapping sounds in the gray clouds, which make people feel upset, but if you look at it with your eyes, you will feel dizzy.
If you use your divine sense to sense, you will feel the pain of being bitten by thousands of ants, which is unbearable, so you have to give up the investigation.
"Meet the Blue Wave Dragon King!"
The two gray clouds first bowed to the Blue Wave Dragon King.
The bearded man, who felt that this person was not simple, changed his face, and then bowed to him and said: "I am Wu Zhen, it is fate to meet you. I wonder your name and which water palace you are the master of?"
"I am Qian Xiao, the master of Qianzu Water Palace, and this is my daughter Qian Xin. Are you alone?" Qian Xiao first introduced himself, and then turned to ask Wu Zhen.
Because according to the rules, the holder of the Baxia Demon Order can not only attend the banquet, but also bring one or two relatives and friends who he likes to the banquet, which can be regarded as recruiting talents for the Baxia Demon Palace.
But the original holder of Wu Zhen's Baxia Demon Order did not come, and Wu Zhen was allowed to attend the banquet alone with the Baxia Demon Order.
Could it be that the other party is a lone man?
He plans to leave immediately after attending this demon banquet, and has no intention of managing the water palace. In this case, can he plan something from it...
Qian Xiao's eyes hidden in the gray cloud flickered slightly.
Wu Zhen laughed and said, "Haha... I can't bring them even if I want to. The old turtle's house is full of good-for-nothings, and he himself is also very old. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to be this foreign aid to help him earn some longevity items at the demon banquet."
Hearing Wu Zhen's words, Qian Xiao smiled without comment, and he didn't know whether he believed what the other party said.
"Fellow Taoists, you came quite early..."
Just then, another old voice came from afar, and then two hurricanes blew up. The demons looked up and saw three snow-white cranes, one big and two small, flying from afar.
The big one has a wingspan of more than a thousand feet, and is a genuine demon king in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
The whole body is filled with auspicious clouds, which makes people feel close to it.
The remaining two small cranes have a wingspan of more than a hundred feet. One of them has reached the middle stage of the Golden Core, and the other is in the Infant Transformation realm!
But the weakest spiritual crane exuded a strange aura, and the auspicious clouds around it were pale blue.
"Qingxiao Yunhe?"
Seeing this spiritual crane, Wu Zhen and Qian Xiao's eyes flashed.
They knew the race of the spiritual crane demon king in the early stage of the Nascent Soul and the spiritual crane in the Infant Transformation Realm, which was the ordinary white jade spiritual crane.
Although the spiritual crane clan is also known as auspicious in the world of immortal cultivation, ordinary spiritual cranes are more symbolic than practical.
As long as the ancestors of the big forces have the conditions, most of them will raise some in their own houses to cultivate their sentiments.
But Qingxiao Yunhe is not simple. This crane is a real auspicious beast, which has the effect of increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in a place.
Even for the existence of their realm, it has a certain increase.
But unfortunately, the other party has a master. Even if a great demon king in the early stage of the Nascent Soul is very old, they are not willing to offend him easily unless necessary.
Moreover, the timing here is not right. If it were any other time, they would still be willing to fight for it, but now that the demon feast is about to start, they can't lose the big picture for the small one.
The Great Demon King Bai Yu Ling He stood on one leg on a mountain peak, smiling and greeting Bi Bo Long Jun and Wu Zhen Qian Xiao and others.
"I am Bai Mo, the old man, and I have brought my children Bai Cong and Bai Xuan to meet you fellow Taoists."
"Qing Xiao Yun He? Bai Mo, you old bird, actually have such an offspring, you are so lucky!"
As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, a vigorous voice sounded above the turbulent water in the distance, and then the heavy sea water surged up and turned into a wave battle platform thousands of feet high.
On the battle platform, there was a black giant shark with a body length of hundreds of feet.
The giant shark's body was full of evil spirits, as if countless ghosts of living creatures were wailing, which made all the Yuanying demon kings present frown and show their disgust.
But the shark didn't care. Instead, it looked at the Qingxiao Yunhe with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes, looking greedy.
The Linghe, who was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, was so scared that he trembled all over, but the White Jade Linghe Great Demon King just snorted coldly and said nothing.
All because of this, the shark is also a well-known existence in many seas.
The Great Demon King in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the Demon Shark Sha Ling.
This monster is the master of the Sha Ling Water Palace. He likes to devour the sea monsters under his command. Except for his blood relatives, all the sea monsters in the Water Palace were devoured and refined into a layer of ghost magic armor on his body, which is convenient for him to fight for him at any time.
The sea monsters in the Sha Ling Sea were afraid of his brutality and fled in all directions, so that the entire Sha Ling Sea was rare except for the same clan of the Sha Ling.
In order to recruit subordinates to manage the Water Palace, or to practice.
This monster often swam to the seas of other great demon kings to abduct sea monsters, so many sea monsters have a gap with it.
But this monster is so powerful, and he is alone in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. As long as he doesn't go looking for those high-level water palaces with late-stage Nascent Soul demon kings, others can't do anything to him, so he has been free until now.
"Sha Ling, I haven't seen you for many years, you are still so greedy, but I understand, after all, I haven't tasted the taste of Qingxiao Yunhe, hahaha..."
The sea water surged, and then tentacles full of suction cups rose up. The tentacles were as huge as mountains, and each tentacle was thousands of feet long. You can imagine how huge this monster is.
Then, the sea water broke open, and a huge smooth and soft head rose up. It was a giant octopus!
And the demonic aura on his body was no less than that of the Sha Ling next to him, and even more so. It was also a great demon king at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!
"Zhang Can?!"
The face of the Great Demon King Bai Yu Ling He changed drastically. Without thinking, he protected the descendant of Qing Yu Ling He behind him and asked with an ugly face: "It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Zhang Can. Daoist Fellow Daoist is not practicing in his own Swallowing Abyss Sea to strive for an early breakthrough to the late stage of Yuanying. Why do you come to join in the fun?"
Zhang Can laughed loudly, and the laughter shocked the surrounding sea water. He said: "Haha, last time my unpromising little son did not perform well at the demon banquet, and I swallowed him after he came back. Now I have finally waited for the Venerable Lord to hold the demon banquet again. There is no suitable candidate in my clan, so I decided to go out in person to earn back all the face we lost last time in Swallowing Abyss Sea!"
While speaking, Zhang Can's eight tentacles also emerged from the sea, and the tails curled up into a ball, as if they were clenched into fists like humans to cheer.
But the demons present could not be happy at all.
Because this Zhang Can is a lunatic.
It's even more excessive than the evil spirit. At least even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but this evil spirit is a madman who will even eat his own flesh and blood.
Moreover, evil spirits devour other living beings at least for the purpose of cultivation, but this chapter of silkworms ate them simply to satisfy their appetites.
This guy even thinks that blood relatives taste the most delicious, so he even takes the initiative to plunder creatures from other sea areas to breed, just to add so-called delicacies to his dining table.
However, this demon is very powerful and has a good bloodline. It is said that it is mixed with 30% of the blood of Xiangliu and can naturally control eight kinds of magical powers.
Even the Great Demon King in the late Nascent Soul stage was unable to do anything to it, which made the creatures in the nearby sea areas dare not speak out in anger.
Zhang Can's pair of octopus eyes stared closely at Qingxiao Yunhe behind the white jade demon king, and said greedily: "Fellow Taoist, your heir is so delicious, how about letting me eat it? I can get a fifth-level magic weapon. Come and exchange for it. This is what I left behind from the human Nascent Soul that I devoured. It’s enough to exchange for your heir!”
As he spoke, Zhang Can also took out a horse jade seal that was full of foul-smelling mucus.
This horse jade seal is a fifth-level middle-grade magic weapon.
There is also a horse demon soul at the level of the Great Demon King in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, which can be attacked and retracted. Its value to the outside world is immeasurable.
But at this moment, most of the demon horse essence inside the jade seal has been digested by it, and the overall aura of the magic weapon has dropped greatly. It is said to be a fifth-level magic weapon, but its effectiveness is only at the level of a fourth-level high-grade magic weapon.
Zhang Can's move is no different from forced buying and selling!
"Fellow Taoist, you are joking. I am a kid who wants to give advice to His Majesty, how can I sell it to you?" the White Jade Demon King said with a smile on his face.
Zhang Can snorted coldly and said: "Your heir is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, how can you fall in the eyes of the Venerable? I kindly offered a fifth-level magic weapon in exchange, but you refused like this, you simply don't give me face!"
As he spoke, Zhang Can's whole body was filled with demonic aura, and his eight tentacles were surging, as if he was going to fight Bai Yu and snatch the Qingxiao Yunhe.
Qingxiao Yunhe immediately grimaced and hid tightly behind the elder, for fear of being photographed by Zhang Can.
The White Jade Demon King also had an ugly face. Just when he was thinking about how to deal with this matter, a cold voice came from the sky.
"Zhang Can, the demon banquet is about to come. If you act like this, do you take Venerable Baxia seriously? Have you take me, Bibo Water Mansion, seriously?!"
Bibo Longjun lowered his dragon head and released the endless dragon power towards Zhang Can, forcefully suppressing Zhang Can's demonic aura.
Bibo Longjun shouted: "Get out!"
Zhang Can's eight flailing tentacles froze, then retracted angrily.
Even though Zhang Can is extremely talented, he is still far behind when facing a real dragon.
Although he is crazy, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to cultivate to this level and know what can and cannot be provoked.
But being scolded by Bibo Longjun in front of everyone still made him angry, but there was nothing he could do.
And just when Zhang Can was about to retreat to the bottom of the sea, he suddenly sensed an existence exuding a strange fragrance rushing towards here on the sea surface in the distance.
"Um?"
Another creature came towards Fubo Island, which naturally attracted the attention of other great demon kings. The demons let go of their spiritual thoughts and looked into the distance.
I saw on the sea in the distance, a strange beast with the head of a dragon, the body of a deer, and the tail of a dragon, flying towards here with a lavender loft on its back.
The alien beast has good blood, and it seems to be of the dragon family, but its cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Golden Core, so it cannot get into the eyes of big demon kings like them.
However, the loft that the other party carried was very impressive. It turned out to be a loft-style fifth-level mid-level magic weapon.
This golden elixir demon king is actually a mount!
Wu Zhen muttered: "Looking at the style of this attic, this demon master is a human being's Nascent Soul?"
Qian Xiao snorted coldly: "The human Nascent Soul has penetrated so far into the ocean. Are the demon kings and great demon kings along the way useless?"
The evil spirit looked coldly at Cong Yun, who was running in the distance, and said: "The target is still very clear. It is coming towards our Floating Wave Island. Could it be that he is also the lucky one who got the demon order from Ba Xia?"
Bai Yu didn't interrupt. He just wanted to take his two juniors to safely attend the Banquet of the Underlord, and didn't want anything else.
Bibo Longjun frowned as he looked at Cong Yun who was running towards him. He looked at Cong Yun with a pair of dragon eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when the demons were guessing who this suddenly appeared Nascent Soul was, Zhang Can laughed loudly and said: "That human race dares to enslave our compatriots. It is an unforgivable crime! You must accept your life!"
After saying that, Zhang Can flicked his tentacles under the surprised gazes of the monsters, and the entire giant octopus pounced towards Cong Yun.
Such a sudden scene really caught Bibo Longjun and other demons off guard. They knew that Zhang Can was crazy, but they never thought that he would be so crazy that he would attack a strange Nascent Soul right out of the gate!
However, what Zhang Can was thinking about at this moment was that someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep.
Originally, he was angry at Bibo Longjun's roar and needed to vent his anger. Suddenly, a human race appeared that they generally had trouble dealing with. It was perfect to use him as a punching bag.
Moreover, Zhang Can also has a secret method that can clearly sense the opponent's cultivation level.
In his perception, the person living in that attic was not one Nascent Soul at all, but three!
Two of them are in the middle stage of Yuanying, and one is at the peak of early stage of Yuanying.
But...so what?
As the Eight Phase Sitting Octopus King with the bloodline of Xiang Liu, Zhang Can has the confidence to fight even when facing the peak of Yuanying.
It’s just two mid-stage Nascent Souls, it’s not like I haven’t eaten them before!
However, Zhang Can's target was not the two mid-stage Yuanying, but the weakest early-stage Yuanying.
For some reason, he felt that the human Yuanying in the attic exuded a strange fragrance, and felt that as long as he devoured the other party, he would be able to break through and achieve the late stage of Yuanying!
At that time, even the Bibo Dragon King himself would not be afraid!
This is the opportunity!
And this is why he was willing to take the risk of attacking the remaining power of the Bibo Dragon King.
At worst, he could say that he saw the resentment in the hearts of the human race and then he attacked and ate people. Anyway, by then, the matter would be settled. What could the Bibo Dragon King do to him?
However, just as Zhang Can rushed to Cong Yun with such an idea and opened four tentacles, four attacks of different attributes of frost, flames, wind, and thunder were slashed towards the attic behind Cong Yun, a five-colored lightning suddenly shot out from the attic, and it was the first to arrive, and it instantly penetrated his defense at a speed that Zhang Can could not react at all, and pierced his big head!
According to the physiological structure of the Eight-phase Sitting Octopus, such an attack should not be fatal at all, but strangely, Zhang Can felt that after this five-colored lightning penetrated his body, his soul was also pierced.
Not only that, a strange force spread along the pierced wound, decomposing his soul inch by inch.
The speed was too fast, and he didn't even have time to react.
All his trump cards and backhands had no chance to be used in front of this move!
In just a moment, Zhang Can's huge body turned into a soulless body and fell into the sea under the influence of gravity.
Silence, deathly silence, the whole sea calmed down.
The several great demon kings and demon kings on the floating island were all stunned to watch this scene, even the Blue Wave Dragon King.
They never thought that the dignified Eight-phase Sitting Octopus King would die, and he didn't even meet the opponent!
"Tap...Tap..."
The sound of footsteps rang out, and the monsters looked up, only to see a tall and handsome silver-haired young man slowly walking out of the attic door carried by Cong Yun.
The silver-haired young man first looked down at the corpse of the Zhangcan monster on the sea, then looked up at the Bibo Longjun and other monster kings, spread his hands, acted innocent, and said: "Hey, you all saw it, he took the initiative to attack me, I was just defending myself."
