Chapter 184 Zhongnan Wonderland
In front of the windless tunnel.
Qin Mo summoned the Jiutian Xuansha Pagoda, which turned into a real pagoda and stood in front of the cave.
Then, Qin Mo's figure flashed, turned into a stream of light, and entered the second floor of the pagoda. Even in the daytime, there were still gusts of cold wind here, and all 108 demon kings were hidden in the painting.
Qin Mo put his hands together and pointed, and all 108 demon kings appeared from the painting and stood in mid-air.
Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Chai Jin, Hua Rong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song...
Although the Liangshan heroes were still in a daze, their faces had gradually become clearer; some had cold faces, some had angry eyes, and they all looked ferocious and evil, with raging demonic flames.
There was black energy surrounding him, making him look extremely ferocious.
Qin Mo stretched out his hand, and the Heavenly Demon Banner refined by the Ghost King appeared in his hand. Although it was tattered, as soon as it appeared, the demon kings became agitated, and their eyes were fanatical.
It's like seeing some absolutely delicious food.
Qin Mo lifted the restriction of the Heavenly Demon Banner, and black gas spread out like thick ink, instantly filling the second floor of the pagoda, as if it had turned into a netherworld, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The demon kings rushed to devour ghosts like hungry wolves.
The scene was extremely bloody.
The place where Qin Mo was sitting cross-legged was like a pure land, and no ghosts or demons dared to approach.
Inviolable.
It took three full days before the ghosts in the Heavenly Demon Banner were finally devoured by the demon kings. Each of them looked radiant and satisfied. Not only did their faces become clearer, but they also had weapons in their hands - soul soldiers!
Then, Qin Mo took out a Heavenly Demon Banner.
It was the one seized from Taoist Master Daoxuan. It was painstakingly refined by the former leader of the Demon Cult, Qiu Wangyu, and it absorbed a lot of ghosts during the battle between good and evil. Its power was more than three times stronger than the new one refined by the Ghost King.
It was because Taoist Master Daoxuan had not practiced "The Heavenly Demon Strategy" and had only started practicing the Ghost Way halfway, so he was unable to bring out the true power of the Heavenly Demon Banner.
Otherwise, it would never have been possible to be defeated so easily.
If an ordinary person obtained the Heavenly Demon Banner, he would definitely regard it as a treasure and use it as a trump card to save his life. However, Qin Mo was determined to use the Heavenly Demon Banner to feed and strengthen the 108 Demon Lords.
If the Heavenly Demon Banner takes the hodgepodge route, then the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Demon Formation takes the boutique route.
You know, the hosts of the 108 Demon Lords were carefully selected from the more than 100 million people in the Water Margin world. Which one of them is not a person of extraordinary talent?
Especially the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, they were all the geniuses of the time.
According to the "Soul Nurturing Record", in the future one hundred and eight war soul flags will be refined, which can be used individually or combined at will, and are extremely useful.
How can it be compared with the Heavenly Demon Banner?
This time, the demon kings ate for a full half month. Each of them was surrounded by demonic energy, like the peerless war gods of the underworld, wearing armor, holding weapons, and looking majestic.
Those with the highest level of cultivation, such as Gongsun Sheng, have even entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in one fell swoop.
The other thirty-six Tiangang also entered the Yuanying stage one by one, and the one with the lowest cultivation level among the seventy-two Disha also entered the Jindan stage, and his strength increased greatly.
Such a force is comparable to that of a small sect.
Qin Mo estimated that if he activated the Tiangang Disha Formation again, he could at least trap a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and it would be even more effective against evil creatures.
It became another good card in Qin Mo's hand.
After being devoured by the ghost, the two demon banners turned into rags and the black light dimmed.
Qin Mo's heart moved, and he went to the fourth floor of the pagoda. He threw the Heavenly Demon Banner into the Fulong Cauldron, opened the Yin-Yang Fire Chamber, and prepared to use this excellent material to refine the first War Soul Banner.
Because it was just a re-refining, it only took half a month to complete.
A brand new fighting spirit banner appeared in Qin Mo's hand. From the outside, it looked similar to the Heavenly Demon Banner, but the material was finer and dull black, and there was no pattern on the banner.
Qin Mo returned to the second floor.
There are one hundred and eight small holes on the second floor, with one hundred and eight soul beads placed in them.
Qin Mo made some hand gestures and summoned Gongsun Sheng's soul orb. He crushed it and sealed it into the Battle Soul Banner. Immediately, a lifelike portrait of Gongsun Sheng appeared on the banner.
It was like giving Gongsun Sheng a new home.
…
After finishing everything, Qin Mo came to the quiet room on the top floor of the pagoda.
After becoming a spirit, Qin Mo planned to take advantage of the rare free time to sort out his skills, magic tools, secret techniques, magical powers, etc., in order to plan the next step of his practice.
Qin Mo only has two magical weapons.
One is the comprehensive innate magic weapon Jiutian Xuansha Tower, and the other is the offensive Chixiao Sword.
It's barely enough.
But to say that it is perfect is of course still far from it.
In the world of earthly immortals, a truly "tall, rich and handsome" monk, in addition to the commonly used magical instruments, must also be equipped with auxiliary equipment such as a magic crown, magic robes, and magic boots.
The richer ones even have special magic inner armor.
Qin Mo had none of these.
He didn't want to use the magic weapon passed through by the dead. If he refined it himself, due to the limitation of materials, if it was just a low-grade magic weapon, it would be completely dispensable to Qin Mo.
So it was delayed.
Needless to say, the skills are still the old three: "Shenxiao Zhenfa", "Shuixing Sword Technique" and "Bajiu Xuan Gong".
The self-created "Phoenix Strike" spear technique, if used in conjunction with the magical power "Law of Heaven and Earth", is a good way of output, but it is unfortunately limited by the lack of a good spear.
We can only give up for now.
Finally, Qin Mo turned his attention to the secret technique - "Tian Yan Divine Calculation" (incomplete).
This secret technique was seized by him when he killed the Nanhua Immortal in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent eight years ago, but he had never taken it seriously.
Perhaps because the skills are incomplete, the practice has not been done properly.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo simply made some deductions.
"Consume 250,000 experience points to deduce the "Heavenly Divine Calculation" (incomplete)..."
"In the process of deduction..."
"Deduction completed, secret technique obtained - Tian Yan Shu."
A stream of information poured directly into Qin Mo's mind. After digesting it, he slowly opened his eyes and thought: "Return to the origin? The power of the way of heaven is really unpredictable."
After the evolution, Tianyanshu and "Tianyan Divine Calculation" are no longer the same thing. Qin Mo simply consumed another 200,000 experience points and directly learned Tianyanshu.
Tianyan means the evolution of heaven and earth.
To put it simply, after practicing this secret technique, Qin Mo can briefly connect his soul to the orbit of the heavenly way, and thereby calculate the people and things that will happen in the future that are closely related to himself.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more accurate the calculations will be and the longer the time span will be.
Like the saints described in "The Investiture of the Gods", they can know everything about the three realms without leaving their caves, and they use the art of Tianyan.
Of course, it is much more advanced than what Qin Mo is learning now.
Qin Mo suddenly had an inspiration and released his soul, which passed through the pagoda and came to the sky. He tried to connect with the trajectory of the way of heaven and his whole body was shocked.
All I could feel was the majestic power of heaven rushing down from the sky.
The majesty of heaven cannot be violated!
However, the cultivators are a group of people who go against the will of heaven. They use their primordial spirits to connect with the trajectory of heaven, which makes them suspected of "stealing from heaven". Naturally, they have to bear the pressure of heaven.
If you are not careful, everything will be annihilated.
Fortunately, Qin Mo's soul had already reached the realm of refining emptiness, and with the help of secret techniques, he was able to be cautious and withstand the pressure of the Heavenly Dao for a moment, taking the opportunity to intercept a piece of information.
"call!!!"
Qin Mo's soul returned to its place. In just this instant, most of his energy was consumed. It was as if he had experienced a great battle. His whole body was sore and weak, and sweat was pouring down.
I felt completely exhausted.
The information captured in just that moment made Qin Mo ponder over it endlessly.
It is closely related to his three disciples who have gone down the mountain to gain experience.
Logically speaking, with Lu Xueqi's level of cultivation, the three of them should have had smooth sailing when they went down the mountain to train. Anyway, they would just be moving around around Blackwater City, and there wouldn't be any powerful monsters.
However, the information from Heaven showed that the three would encounter a disaster in Zhongnan Mountain. Qin Mo had no way of finding out the specific information and only obtained such scattered fragments.
"Mount Zhongnan?" Qin Mo frowned.
The location of Heishui City is similar to the historical areas of Xianyang and Chang'an. It is located in the heart of the vast Guanzhong Plain, with the rolling Qinling Mountains to the south.
It starts from Kunlun in the west, passes through Longnan and southern Shaanxi, and ends at Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Dabie Mountains and Zhangbaling near Bengbu in the east.
There are many famous mountains and rivers in between.
For example, Huashan Mountain, Taibai Mountain, Yuhuang Mountain, Aoshan Mountain, Motianling Mountain, Shouyang Mountain and so on.
Mount Zhongnan, located in the middle section of the Qinling Mountains, is one of them.
Mount Zhongnan, also known as Taiyi Mountain, stretches for more than 200 kilometers and is known as the "Immortal Capital", "Crown of Caves and Heavens" and "The No. 1 Blessed Land in the World".
According to Chinese legend, Laozi Li Er, Jiang Ziya, Zhao Gongming, Zhang Liang, Han Zhongli, Kumarajiva, Sun Simiao, Zhong Kui, Lü Dongbin, Wang Chongyang and others all once lived in seclusion in Mount Zhongnan.
It is truly a holy place for immortals.
If nothing unexpected happens, Mount Zhongnan will also be a first-class paradise in the ancient world.
It may not be worse than Mount Emei.
Logically speaking, Mount Zhongnan is located on the border of Heishui City. Although it is close to the water, Qin Mo has never coveted it. Instead, he has been staying in the Black and White Mountains on the outskirts of Heishui City.
Why?
In the ancient continent, demons are rampant and the human race is declining.
The better the blessed land, the more powerful monsters are likely to occupy it. How can you occupy it just by occupying it? There are Jindan stage monsters in the Black and White Mountain, so what about Zhongnan Mountain?
It's unimaginable.
Even in the outskirts of Mount Zhongnan, there are probably powerful demons in the Nascent Soul stage or even the Spirit Transformation stage active there.
Qin Mo didn't expect that the three disciples would go to Mount Zhongnan for training. Fortunately, according to the hexagram, although their journey was dangerous, it was not a dead end.
It is also a supreme opportunity.
After thinking for a while, Qin Mo flew out of the Jiutian Xuansha Tower. He stretched out his hand and the Fulong Ding flew out of the tower and turned into a small tripod. He held it in his hand and shouted to the sky: "Yellow Bird!"
“Oh…”
A yellow bird flew down with an ingratiating expression.
Qin Mo fed it two elixirs, and with a wave of his finger, the Jiu Tian Xuan Sha Pagoda turned into a ray of colorful light. The yellow bird opened its mouth and hid the pagoda in its belly.
"You go to Mount Zhongnan and do this and that..." Qin Mo gave detailed instructions.
“Oh…”
The yellow bird nodded to show that it understood.
"Go ahead!"
The yellow bird spread its wings, flew up to the sky, and soon disappeared at the end of the sky.
Qin Mo stood where he was and sighed in his heart. He did not choose to take action himself because he wanted to give his three disciples some good training.
At the same time, you won’t miss a good opportunity.
How exactly?
It depends on their own luck.
