Chapter 236: Sealing the Ancient Demon Land
"Oh? Poseidon Cauldron?" Curiosity showed in Ye Changsheng's eyes.
"That is the treasure of the alien sea monsters. It has the power to control the ocean. By shaking this tripod, the Suanni royal family can condense the sea within a radius of 3,000 miles into an iron plate, making it impossible for anyone who enters to escape!"
"The blue light that Fellow Daoist Ye saw coming out of the Suanni King's Court was the scene when this tripod was activated!"
"I just didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ye could actually escape from it. If I'm not mistaken, the magic weapon on you should be related to the Qingling Armor that Master Wanling used to dominate the Chaos Star Sea back then, right?" Elder Xing said.
Hearing this, Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said, "This place is a thousand miles away from the Suanni King's Court. I didn't expect that Elder Xing could actually see the situation over there!"
"Haha, Xing is just using the Eye of Heaven formation left by an ancient monk here!" Elder Xing laughed.
Ye Changsheng's expression changed when he heard this. He had also heard about the Sky-Seeing Eye formation from Xin Ruyin. It was said that with the more advanced ones, as long as one had enough magic power, one could see everywhere in the human world.
I just don't know what level the magic circle here is.
However, even with the lowest level of the Sky-Seeing Eye formation, with Elder Xing's strength at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, it would be easy for him to see what was happening thousands miles away.
"It seems that the whole process of my previous fight with the Suanni clan must have been seen by this person!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
As they talked, they walked forward and came to a pavilion on the green hill.
Elder Xing asked Ye Changsheng to sit down. He first looked at Ye Changsheng meaningfully, and then said:
"To be honest, Brother Ye, if any other Nascent Soul cultivator came here today, I would definitely take action immediately and kill him!"
"Then why didn't Elder Xing take action against Ye?" Ye Changsheng asked with a faint smile.
"Haha, even that old Suanni couldn't do anything to Brother Ye, so I, Xing, naturally won't be so arrogant as to think I can kill Brother Ye!"
"Of course, this is not the most important thing. If Brother Ye did not have this Qingling Armor, even if I could not kill Brother Ye, I would find a way to use the restrictions here to force Brother Ye out and let that old Suanni deal with you!" Elder Xing said with a smile.
"Qingling Armor? Although this defensive magic weapon is powerful, the reason why Fellow Daoist Xing gave up attacking Ye is probably not because of this Qingling Armor, but because of the evil-repelling divine thunder on the Qingling Armor?" Ye Changsheng said lightly with a flickering eye.
"Oh? Brother Ye guessed it?" Elder Xing's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
“Haha, if there is anything special about my Qingling Armor, it is nothing more than the divine thunder that can ward off evil spirits produced by the golden thunder bamboo.”
"When I was escaping from the pursuit of the Great Elder Suanni, I once used the Divine Thunder to ward off evil spirits. I guess Fellow Daoist Xing must have seen it at that time !"
"This independent space looks full of ancient style. It's obvious that this is something that the ancient monk left for you, the Star Palace!"
"I can't think of any other reason for the ancient monks to go to such great lengths to leave this kind of thing in the outer sea, other than to seal the ancient demon!"
"Fellow Daoist Xing is concerned about the evil-repelling divine thunder on Ye's body. I think it is because this thunder can suppress the evil spirit!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
Every word he said brought surprise to the eyes of the Star Palace elder opposite him.
As he spoke later, the surprise in the eyes of the Star Palace elder became more intense. When Ye Changsheng said the word "ancient demon", he even pulled out a handful of his beard.
After looking at Ye Changsheng in astonishment for a long time, Elder Xing smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect Brother Ye to know so much about the secrets of the ancient times. Could it be that Brother Ye has inherited the legacy of an ancient cultivator? Or is Brother Ye simply the descendant of an ancient cultivator?"
"Ye has neither inherited the legacy of the ancient cultivators nor is he a descendant. I just like reading classics, so I know more about this aspect!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
Elder Xing obviously didn't believe what he said. After carefully looking at Ye Changsheng, he slowly said:
"Fellow Daoist Ye is right, this place is indeed where the ancient demon is sealed!"
“Not many cultivators in Chaos Star Sea know about the rumors about the ancient demon, but in ancient times, a demon disaster did occur in our Chaos Star Sea!”
"That demonic disaster caused so much devastation that I don't know how many people died in the Chaos Star Sea. If those ancient cultivators hadn't taken action, I'm afraid the entire Chaos Star Sea would have been destroyed!" Elder Xing said solemnly.
"But even if the ancient monks take action, they cannot completely kill these ancient demons. They can only seal them up in different places. Below this space where we are is a sealed place!"
Hearing Elder Xing's words, Ye Changsheng's eyes showed understanding.
Most of the special places in this human world are basically related to ancient demons.
The moment he met the Star Palace elder, he already had some vague guesses in his mind.
There are not many reasons that can allow an elder of the Star Palace who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to stay in the outer star sea. Among the few reasons that Ye Changsheng can think of, one is sealing the ancient demon.
There are many places in the human world where ancient demons and demonic energy are sealed, such as Kunwu Mountain in Dajin, the Boundless Sea in the South of the Sky, the Falling Demon Valley, and the Xutian Palace in the Chaos Star Sea...
"After the ancient monks set up the seal here, they entrusted the important task of guarding the seal to our Xinggong!"
"I am the rotating elder of this generation's Star Palace, and I have been here for two hundred years!" Elder Xing said with a smile.
"What exactly is that light shield outside? The old Suanni didn't dare to enter when it ran in front of the light shield, but I was able to come in unscathed!" Ye Changsheng asked.
"That thing is a famous demon-banning device from ancient times. Any demon cultivator who dares to step into it will have all his magic power taken away. Naturally, that old Suanni doesn't dare to take the risk!" said Elder Xing.
"So that's how it is!" Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
It sounded like the restriction had no effect on the human race. No wonder he didn't sense anything when he rushed over.
Otherwise, if there was any danger, his spiritual sense, having practiced the Demon-Suppressing Seal, should have given him some warning.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, are you wondering why the ancient cultivators would imprison the ancient demon here, and why there would be such a demon-forbidden area next to the Suanni King's Court?" Elder Xing looked at the thoughtful expression on Ye Changsheng's face and asked with a smile.
"I guess there is something special about this abyss?"
"Yes, it is said that a long time ago, an ancient true spirit briefly inhabited this place, leaving behind its breath and traces. So the ancient cultivators used the remaining power of the true spirit to seal the ancient demon!"
"The reason why we set up the forbidden demon area here is to prevent the alien sirens from coveting the power of the ancient demons and attacking this place without authorization, breaking the ban and releasing the ancient demons imprisoned inside!"
Hearing Elder Xing's words, Ye Changsheng's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
The sacred Three Brahma Secrets inherited by the Chaos Star Sea monsters, also known as the Brahma True Demonic Art, happens to be a martial art from the demon world. In the ancient legends of the human world, the monsters were also the first race to come into contact with the ancient demons.
If this is the case, then the worries of those ancient monks were not unreasonable.
It is not impossible that the demons covet the power of the ancient demons, so it is reasonable to set up such a demon-forbidden area.
"In fact, the ancient cultivators must not only guard against the demon race, but also the human race!"
"This Demon Sealing Area is located in the abyss of ten thousand feet, near the clan territory of the Suanni royal family, so that the demon royal court is responsible for preventing humans from trespassing here without permission."
“So, for thousands of years, no one except the Xing Palace knew what was happening below the Chaos Star Sea, because any human who came down would be killed by the monsters here!”
"Brother Ye, this is a surprise!" Elder Xing said with a smile.
After hearing what he said, Ye Changsheng thought about it for a moment and understood the ancient monks' plan.
The demon clan and the Star Palace were to restrain each other, and the demon clan's royal court was established here to prevent human cultivators, especially those demon cultivators, from breaking in after learning any news.
The forbidden demon area prevents ambitious elements among the demon clan from rushing in.
After all, if one breaks into this forbidden demon area, even a level ten demon beast, after losing its magic power, will be like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
The only teleportation array that allows humans to reach the outer sea is in Tianxing City, which prevents the possibility of a great demon like Liudao Jisheng breaking through the blockade of the Suanni tribe and breaking into this place.
After all, early Nascent Soul cultivators like Ji Yin dared to sneak into Tianxing City because they knew that in the eyes of the Twin Saints of Tianxing, they were nothing but small characters.
Even if the two saints discovered them, they would not necessarily come out of seclusion just for them. But people like Liudao and Wan Sangu were definitely different.
In order to kill them, the Twin Saints of Tianxing would have to pay a heavy price, so they would never dare to take the risk and run to Tianxing City.
As long as no demon cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage breaks into this place, under the double protection of the Suanni clan and the elders of the Star Palace, it can be guaranteed that no human cultivator will be allowed to break in here casually.
It was really an accident that Ye Changsheng suddenly appeared here today!
"I remember that since ancient times, there has been an agreement between the human race and the monsters in the Chaos Star Sea. This agreement seems to be related to the division of the inner and outer star seas, as well as the hunting and killing of monsters by human cultivators!"
“Perhaps this place where the ancient demon is sealed is also related to this agreement!”
"It is precisely because of this agreement that no transformed monsters dare to enter the Inner Star Sea, and the previous Divine Transformation cultivators of the human race did not go to slaughter the high-level monsters in the Outer Star Sea!"
"I think the reason why those gods of the Star Palace let go of the level ten monsters from the outer sea was to let them guard this demon-sealed land!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
What he saw today answered several questions that had always been in his mind.
Seeing the elder of Xinggong looking at him meaningfully, Ye Changsheng's heart moved and he asked:
"Elder Xing should not be telling me these things casually, right? If you can tell the secrets of this place to any cultivator you meet, then the entire Chaos Star Sea would have known that the ancient demon is sealed here!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
"Haha, Brother Ye is a smart man. In that case, I won't beat around the bush. The reason why I didn't take action against you and told you all this is that I actually want Brother Ye to help me with something!" Elder Xing laughed.
"Elder Xing, don't you want me to enter the restriction that seals the ancient demon?" Ye Changsheng asked indifferently.
The other party had mentioned the divine thunder that could ward off evil spirits before, and this place was a place where demons were sealed, so it was hard for him not to think of these things.
Elder Xing seemed a little surprised that Ye Changsheng had guessed his purpose again, then he smiled and said, "That's right!"
"To be honest, Brother Ye, the ancient monks left three major formations here to seal the ancient demon. But now, the innermost major formation has been damaged, causing a large amount of demonic energy to leak into the second major formation!"
"This happened three hundred years ago. We in Xinggong have been studying how to repair this formation for the past three hundred years!"
"Finally, we came up with a plan, but that plan requires someone to enter the core of the seal!" Elder Xing said with a wry smile.
"The two palace masters of your Star Palace are so powerful that they can't enter?" Ye Changsheng asked tentatively.
Elder Xing showed helplessness on his face, shook his head and said: "No, even a great cultivator cannot resist the thick demonic energy and reach the core!"
"Since even the great monk can't do it, then I, Ye, am even less capable!" Ye Changsheng said expressionlessly.
"Haha, Brother Ye, don't rush to deny it. I don't want Brother Ye to go in and repair the formation now. I hope to wait until Brother Ye becomes a great cultivator before going in. How about that?" Elder Xing said with a laugh.
"By then, with Brother Ye's strength and the might of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, it will not be difficult to enter there!"
"Elder Xing, you think too highly of me, right? It's not easy to cultivate to the level of a great cultivator!" Ye Changsheng said with a frown.
"Haha, from what I see, Brother Ye shouldn't be very old now, right? At this age, he has cultivated to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. I still believe that Brother Ye will be able to break through to the realm of a great cultivator in the future!"
"If Brother Ye feels that he is unable to cultivate to this level, then Brother Ye might as well sell this Qingling Armor to our Xing Palace. I believe the two Palace Masters will offer a price that Brother Ye cannot refuse!"
"What do you think, Brother Ye? If this ancient demon breaks the seal and comes out, no one in the entire human world will be able to control it. In the future, the Chaos Star Sea will surely be devastated. I'm afraid that Brother Ye's relatives and friends will not be spared!" Elder Xing said.
"Elder Xing trusts me so much? What if I'm just a demon who possesses the magical weapon Golden Thunder Bamboo?" Ye Changsheng asked with a smile on his face.
