The two elders looked at each other. They heard infinite confidence in Jiale's tone, just like when Jiale told Taoist Zhenliang that he would be able to forge a perfect immortal foundation.
In fact, they have always been paying attention to Jiale. When Jiale broke through the Hedao realm before, they even provided him with spiritual protection.
Now that they heard Jiale's confident tone, they no longer had any doubts.
"Okay, let's get started."
Seeing that the two supreme elders and Jia Le had settled the matter in just a few words, Taoist Zhenliang felt a little helpless, but since the matter had been settled, there was no need to talk about anything else.
The Supreme Elders were already standing on the left and right of the Demon Subduing Tower and began to exert their strength to activate the Demon Subduing Tower, focusing on suppressing the three demons.
Taoist Zhenliang did not delay and directly sent Jiale to the Demon-Subduing Tower.
After entering the Demon Subduing Tower, Jiale realized the difference between this Demon Subduing Tower and the one on Yin Yang Peak. Runes appeared in the tower, as if to suppress any living creature that entered. Although these runes did not harm Jiale under the control of the two supreme elders, the oppressive feeling still made Jiale feel stressed.
This Demon-Suppressing Tower is divided into nine floors, which are engraved with runes. Each floor is suppressed by a top-grade magic weapon. As the center of the formation, the gathering of those runes forms a complete Demon-Suppressing Formation. If the nine floors are connected together, it will be enough for cultivators of higher levels to fight.
Jia Le could even imagine how powerful it would be if he controlled such a magical tower to subdue demons.
Just like Li Jing's exquisite pagoda, it is invincible when it is directly suppressed. With such a powerful demon-suppressing formation, anyone who is suppressed in it will have no chance of escaping. After entering it, these demon-suppressing formations will gradually strip away the demon's magic power, gradually turning it into a shell, and finally being digested by the Demon-Suppressing Tower and becoming its nourishment.
If he had this tower in his hands, even with Jia Le's current level of cultivation, he would be confident that he could take down the Black Mountain Demon directly.
However, such a powerful Demon Subduing Tower was unable to do anything to the three trolls. This shows how powerful the demons are and how immortal they are. Perhaps it is because of this characteristic that the Demon Subduing Tower's effectiveness is greatly reduced when dealing with the three demons.
The nine demons are all on the ninth floor, and the Demon Subduing Tower needs to activate all its formations to barely suppress them.
According to Taoist Zhenliang's introduction, the effect of the Demon Subduing Tower was very good in the beginning, and as time passed, it had almost stripped away all the magic power of the three demons. However, since some time, these demons seemed to have adapted to the Demon Subduing Tower, and the suppression of the Demon Subduing Tower's formation on them became increasingly weaker.
The demons, which had been weak, actually began to gradually recover their strength. Until today, the strength of the three demons has even almost recovered to the level of true immortals. According to Taoist Zhenliang, if no better solution can be found, perhaps Maoshan will experience another demonic catastrophe in ten years.
Fortunately, Jiale eliminated all the demons from the thirty-six peaks. Otherwise, once the three demons escaped, they would surely release all the demons from the thirty-six peaks. At that time, Maoshan might really perish in the demonic calamity.
Thinking of this, Jiale was a little scared. He thought that the world of Liao Zhai was just full of monsters and demons, but who would have thought that the real danger was the demons hidden deep within the immortal gates.
Jiale was also very fortunate that he had obtained the Nine Nether Divine Lotus by chance in Uncle Jiu's world. Otherwise, he would have to find a way to leave the Liao Zhai world early. Being immortal was really a foul. These demons were no different from those cells in the human body that could not be killed and would divide infinitely.
From the moment the demons entered the world of Liao Zhai, this world has been sick, and it is a terminal illness.
Jiale's arrival brought the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, just like a miracle doctor with future pharmaceutical technology who suddenly arrived and had to use a high-dimensional attack to cure him.
This cannot be achieved in one go, we need to take it step by step.
Walking slowly upwards, these demons have now recovered to the level of Hedao. Although Taoist Zhenliang said that the three demons were suppressed on the ninth floor, Jiale didn't dare to gamble his life on whether there would be any accidents. What if one of them is no longer restricted by the tower layers and can walk freely on the ninth floor?
Under the surprise attack, even Jiale was not sure he could escape unscathed.
It is better to be careful. Although he has not been practicing Taoism for a long time, he has experienced many crises. The reason why he can live intact to this day is partly due to his strength, but the most important thing is his caution.
The second floor, the third floor, until Jiale reached the seventh floor. As soon as he stepped into it, his heart trembled. In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the Nine Nether Divine Lotus suddenly moved. Jiale almost subconsciously activated the Kunlun Mirror and escaped to other places. When he looked back, a demonic shadow had appeared where Jiale had just stood.
Demons!
The powerful demonic energy has already shown that the demons are at least at the peak of the Hedao realm. Jiale's caution has paid off.
Just like that, if Jia Le had not been on guard the whole time and had not received the warning from the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, Jia Le might have been dead.
When the demon saw that the attack failed, a look of shock flashed across his eyes, but he did not give up and disappeared directly. The next moment, Jiale felt a chill on his back. Fortunately, he had the Kunlun Mirror. The moment the demon's shadow disappeared, Jiale decisively used the Kunlun Mirror to escape to other places.
Although the demons are strong, Jiale is no pushover. Jiale has already broken through the Hedao realm. With the Kunlun Mirror, if he wants to actively dodge, he doesn't think there is anyone in this world who can pose a threat to Jiale. What he is afraid of is a sneak attack. Since the traces have been revealed, forget about attacking Jiale.
After dodging several attacks from the phantom demon, Jiale became more and more adept at it.
"No wonder you dare to enter this Demon Subduing Tower. It turns out you are quite capable. But, kid, you didn't offend someone, so you were thrown in. How about it, kid, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I promise that you can not only get out, but also take revenge. Even if you destroy the entire Maoshan, it will not be a problem."
Seeing that the forceful approach didn't work, the demons actually began to use bribery.
Probably because he saw that Jiale, a cultivator at the Hedao realm, dared to enter the Demon Subduing Tower, he thought that Jiale had offended the higher-ups of Maoshan and was thrown in. Now he actually wanted to incite Jiale to rebel and ask Jiale to help him escape.
In fact, Jiale was observing the seventh floor during these times of dodging. He wanted to confirm whether only one demon came to the seventh floor or all three demons came. Now it seems that only this one demon came to the seventh floor. Otherwise, it would not be just the one in front of him that would attack him.
Thinking of this, Jiale breathed a sigh of relief. If all three demons really came here, Jiale would be under a lot of pressure.
The ninth floor of the Demon Subduing Tower is very particular. In the past, the ancestors of Maoshan suppressed the three demons on the ninth floor of the Demon Subduing Tower. Now they are even more convinced that the three demons will not escape from the ninth floor, because they believe that with the power of the Demon Subduing Tower, the three demons are not able to escape from the ninth floor. But now it seems, not to mention the other two, the one in front of them has recovered more than the two supreme elders expected.
Going down layer by layer, if this demon really reaches the first layer, it will be impossible to suppress it with the Demon Subduing Tower.
"Oh, how can you cooperate and what can you give me?"
When the demon heard Jia Le's words, he couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that Jia Le was right and now he was moved.
"You are the first cultivator to enter the Demon Subduing Tower in all these years. As long as you open your Sea of ​​​​Divine Power and let my evil thoughts enter it, I will have a way to make us all leave here. At that time, I can give you unlimited benefits and let you break through your current realm, and even become stronger than those two old immortals. At that time, you can take revenge on whoever threw you here.
No matter what it is, whether it is a technique or a treasure, you will have it at your fingertips when the time comes."
This demon is really a professional at making big promises. Entering his sea of ​​​​consciousness, this demon is really daring. The sea of ​​​​consciousness is the most important place for a cultivator. Jia Le dares to guarantee that after this demon enters his sea of ​​​​consciousness, it will immediately control him, devour his soul, and then use Jia Le's body to escape from the Demon Subduing Tower.
However, the demon's request made Jiale's eyes light up.
Holding the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, it is really difficult to deal with the demon in front of you, but if you can let its evil thoughts leave your body and enter its sea of ​​​​consciousness, then the Nine Nether Divine Lotus will be able to control it, it will be absolutely certain.
What's more, at this time the demons don't know that Jiale possesses the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, a killing weapon that can restrain the demons. At that time, he can just launch a sneak attack.
"You think I'm a fool? If you want me to take you out, give me some practical benefits instead of empty promises."
The practical benefits?
The demon was stunned when he heard this, and felt a little excited. This meant that they really believed him. It was not easy. After entering this world, he had fooled many people, but they were all ordinary people. Few people like cultivators would be fooled, especially those at Jiale's level. It was really not easy.
What's more, after being locked up in the Demon Tower for so many years, the troll felt that his skills had become rusty. But even so, there were high-quality customers who came to him on their own initiative and believed his words. He had to give something, as he had principles as a demon. Although it was a lie, he would definitely pay enough, especially when he met someone as sincere as Jiale. He had to give it.
He touched his body, but was stumped by the demon again. When he was sealed in the Demon Subduing Tower, many things were stolen. The few things on his body were all precious items, and each one was his dearest. He was reluctant to part with them. What should he do?
Hesitating in his heart, he looked at Jiale's inquiring eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and took out a few treasures from his body.
Jiale was a little surprised to see that the demon was actually going to give him a benefit. Are the demons now so cunning? After seeing clearly what the demon was holding, Jiale's eyes lit up and he leaned forward directly.
Seeing this, the demon hurriedly collected the treasures and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I only allow you to choose one of these treasures. I can only give you the others after you fulfill your promise."
As expected, he still had a treacherous nature. Jiale shook his head. However, this demon would never have thought that even he could not escape Jiale's calculations, let alone these treasures. They were his, his, and all his.
"What's in that jar of yours?"
Jar!
The troll took out a jar from a pile of treasures and pointed it at Jiale, looking like he had good eyesight.
"This is the most powerful of all my treasures, a top-grade magic weapon, equivalent to what you call a spiritual treasure, and it contains countless demon souls. You always say that we are the demons invading your world. Yes, it is true that we invaded, but we were also forced to do so. The Demon Abyss has become a place where demons fall. Even though we demons have a strong ability to survive, it is difficult for us to survive in the Demon Abyss today.
For the sake of our people, we can only think of a way to leave the Demon Abyss and find a new way out. We just happened to stumble into your world, because you were captured by the Demon Lord. The demon souls in the Black Magic Jar are the hope of our demon race. As long as they are released into your world, they can thrive and allow our demon race to take root here once again.
Unfortunately, your world is not weak either, and we can’t even occupy a piece of demon breeding ground.”
Seeing Jiale's increasingly fiery eyes, the troll tightened the black magic jar and said, "Don't even think about it. Everything else is fine, but this one is not."
Demonic soul!
Jia Le licked his lips. No wonder the Nine Nether Divine Lotus was so restless. It turned out to be countless demon souls. If he swallowed them all, how many energy beads would he get?
However, the trolls will definitely not give him such things that concern the future of the demon race. But this is not a problem. After the trolls are captured, none of these things will escape.
"You're such a stingy person. In that case, just give me the black fragment."
Black fragments!
The troll picked it up, took out a fragment from the pile of treasures, and looked at Jiale.
"You also know about the Xuanyu Monument!"
Xuanyu Monument!
Jiale moved when he heard that. The black fragment in the troll's hand was exactly the same as the black fragment containing time and space energy that Jiale got from the treasure house, except that the piece in the troll's hand was even bigger.
After the space-time energy of the black fragment was absorbed, the true appearance of the fragment was completely revealed in front of Jiale.
Printed on it was a fragment of a martial arts technique, or perhaps it could not be considered a martial arts technique, but a classic like the Tao Te Ching. Because it was only a fragment, it only contained a few dozen words, and the first one was just a word "Yu". However, just a few dozen words made Jia Le have many insights, but it was not to be said that he gained anything.
Jiale was sure that if he could complete the whole book, he would gain a lot.
However, after asking Taoist Zhenliang, he also didn't know where the fragment came from. It seemed that it had been in the treasury for a long time. Now it seems that the fragment was most likely stolen from these demons.
"Xuan Yu Monument! Please elaborate on it."
When the troll heard this, he knew that Jiale didn't recognize this thing at all.
"It seems that you have seen other fragments of the Xuan Yu Monument. That's right, other demons may also have these fragments, and they must have been snatched away by you. It's okay to tell you about it. This Xuan Yu Monument is a rare item. The Demon Lord said that a long, long time ago, a small world returned to the ruins. The Demon Lord was fortunate to witness it and thought that the world must have collapsed completely.
Unexpectedly, after the world returned to the abyss, a figure rushed out. Seeing that his aura was weakening, the Demon Lord wanted to save him. Unfortunately, that figure would rather die than obey, and finally suppressed the Demon Abyss with a stele. It was really true that good intentions were not rewarded. The changes in the Demon Abyss began from that time.
Lord Demon Lord even sacrificed himself to destroy the Xuanyu Monument. However, although the Xuanyu Monument was destroyed, the changes in the Demon Abyss did not stop. We can no longer survive in the Demon Abyss and can only leave. This thing is the culprit of the changes in our Demon Abyss. If it didn't look mysterious, we would definitely not keep it."
So, this might be a spiritual treasure, or even a higher-level treasure. The code engraved on it might be the inheritance left by the powerful being in the small thousand world.
It is not difficult to understand that the world will return to the abyss. The world is also alive. From birth to return to the abyss, it is just like the birth to death of a person. If Uncle Jiu's world continues to develop, it is only a matter of time before it returns to the abyss.
"I want this, throw it to me."
Upon hearing this, the demon hesitated for a moment, but didn't say much. He just threw it forward, but not too far. Jiale wanted to get it, so he had to move forward. However, Jiale was prepared. Jiazi God Guan Fei had already appeared directly at the place where the fragments of Xuanyu Stele fell, and he picked it up in his hand and took it back.
The troll couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw this. Jiale took the fragment of the Xuanyu Stele in his hand and examined it. Feeling the abundant space-time energy in it, he nodded. After the Kunlun Mirror absorbed the space-time energy in it, it would definitely be able to recover a lot.
As for the troll's little thoughts, Jiale didn't point them out. It was a dream to expect the demons to be honest. He probably wanted to catch him when he came forward.
And that’s not all, there is something wrong with the fragments of the Xuanyu Stele.
He didn't believe the trolls, and how could the trolls believe him?
"The things have been taken, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Seeing that Jiale didn't take the bait, the troll couldn't hold back his patience anymore and asked directly.
Jia Le laughed, "Haha, what kind of promises can I make to a demon like you? Okay, I've got the stuff, I won't play with you anymore, I'm leaving."
As he said this, Jiale was about to walk towards the sixth floor.
The troll became angry when he heard this, feeling as if he had been cheated. After all, he had been very touched before and had even taken out his treasures for this.
But now Jiale is just like them, the demons, and does not keep his promises.
In that case, it's not his fault.
With a sinister laugh, he wanted to tell everyone that when it came to playing tricks, they, the demons, were the ancestors.
Jia Le turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly felt his palms getting warm. It was from the fragment of the Xuanyu Stele. When Jia Le looked over, a demonic shadow was already rushing towards him.
Jiale immediately cooperated and showed a look of horror.
The speed of the demon shadow was extremely fast, and it had already directly entered Jiale's sea of ​​consciousness. It was smooth, too smooth, so smooth that the troll was a little bit unbelievable. He had been prepared to put up a fight when he forced his way into Jiale's sea of ​​consciousness, but in the end, Jiale didn't put up any resistance at all, which made the troll a little bit unconfident.
Too arrogant? Completely let down your guard? That shouldn't be the case.
After Jiale saw the troll entering the Sea of ​​Gods, he sneered. Today he was going to teach the troll an idiom: walking into a trap.
Although the troll was confused, he had already entered Jiale's sea of ​​consciousness. Everything else was no longer important. He didn't believe that anything unexpected would happen now that he had entered Jiale's sea of ​​consciousness. Not only were their demon bodies powerful, but their demon thoughts were also not something these little monks could resist.
boom!
The power of the devil was raging throughout the entire Divine Sea. The troll did not hesitate and went straight to the depths of Jiale's Divine Sea. After devouring Jiale's soul, he could use Jiale's body to escape from the Demon Subduing Tower, an existence even more terrifying than the Demon Abyss.
But when the troll excitedly arrived at the depths of Jiale's divine sea, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
It's so scary.
A black lotus appeared in Jiale's sea of ​​​​divine world. The troll ran over excitedly, but it was facing the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. The terrifying aura made the troll feel fear instantly. The feeling of that day made the troll feel like it was facing the Xuanyu Monument at the beginning, and it was even more terrifying than the Xuanyu Monument.
Jiale also laughed when he saw the troll's reaction.
To be honest, he has encountered quite a few demons so far, but the demon in front of him is the first one like this. Not only did he believe his words easily, but he was also so cowardly. Although he had quite a few tricks, he was a demon after all, so these were the norm. He shook his head. Now he had taken the bait. If he could let it run away, Jiale would not dare to say that he was a professional demon hunter.
In the sea of ​​gods, changes suddenly occurred. The Nine Nether Divine Lotus had been ready, just waiting for the fat meat to come to its door. Now that it was delivered to its mouth, the troll still wanted to escape. It was simply wishful thinking.
The dim light instantly enveloped the entire divine sea. Everyone thought it was a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, but in the end, it became a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth.
The troll felt regretful and turned around to look at the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, only to find that it had disappeared. When it reappeared, it had already arrived above the troll's head. Under the cover of countless phantom lights, the troll felt that his evil thoughts seemed to be split, as if they were going to be eaten piece by piece. As a demon, the troll felt fear for the first time.
You must know that the demon clan's spirit is immortal. After entering this world, no one has found any means that can kill them.
But today, he met such a freak. He thought Jiale had offended the top leaders of Maoshan and was exiled.
Now it seems that he was too small and had a narrow vision. He was not exiled here, but was clearly brought in to deal with them. He thought he was better than the other two idiots and had escaped the constraints of the ninth floor and came to the seventh floor. But in the end, he ran into their arms and went from being the strongest to being the first to die.
Thinking about Jiale's previous actions, it was obvious that he was luring him into the Sea of ​​Gods for this moment. No wonder he felt it was so smooth. The cunning boy and the troll wanted to tear Jiale apart alive, but he could no longer care about that at this moment.
He struggled to resist the soul-devouring attack of the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, but it was of no avail.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but in the dim light, the troll's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
boom!
The evil thoughts were completely shattered and absorbed by the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. The dim light disappeared, leaving only the Nine Nether Divine Lotus which had already transformed into the shadow of the eighth lotus flower. Jia Le couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this. This was a sign that the flower had reached the eighth level of blooming. Although it hadn't fully bloomed yet, it would make it easier for him to deal with the two trolls behind him.
A good person, no, a good devil.
Not only that, as the troll's evil thoughts were devoured by the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, an energy bead that surpassed the Hedao realm appeared in the Kunlun Mirror. This one energy bead was enough to support Jiale's breakthrough to the middle and late stages of the Hedao realm. Although Jiale had a perfect immortal foundation and his consumption must have been great, he could not withstand the tremendous energy of this energy bead that seemed to have reached the true immortal level.
So magical!
Jiale exclaimed in admiration, and his spiritual thoughts returned to himself. He looked at the demon body in front of him. Without the support of the demon thoughts, the demon body could only move by instinct. At this time, it turned around and wanted to escape. However, the demon thoughts were taken down, so how could the demon body get away easily? The Nine Nether Divine Lotus directly covered it, and it became the fourth True Immortal-level giant demon in the Nine Nether Divine Lotus.
After taking off the treasures from the troll, there were seven in total, plus the fragment of the Xuanyu Stele that Jiale had obtained, there were eight in total. The seven in his hand now were all magic weapons, and Jiale could not use them directly. They would need to be disassembled later to see if he could find useful materials for refining magic weapons in the future.
The black magic jar was among them. Upon closer inspection, there were actually hundreds of millions of magic souls in it. Wow, this harvest, even if it is not as good as a true immortal-level magic soul, is almost the same. Although the level of these magic souls is lower, the number is sufficient, which is another huge harvest.
Throw them directly to the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. The bones of the trolls are not easy to chew. Although the Nine Nether Divine Lotus suppressed the four trolls, it would take a long time to refine them. It would not be easy to bloom to the eighth level with their help. But these demon souls are different. The Nine Nether Divine Lotus will surely eat them all in one bite. Maybe after swallowing them all, it will be able to bloom to the eighth level directly.
When the Nine Netherworld Divine Lotus blooms to the eighth level, it will be easy to deal with True Immortals. By then, those four trolls can be easily refined.
At this moment, Jiale seemed to have seen countless energy beads waving at him. Money, it was all money.
As the troll was captured, the two supreme elders who were casting spells to suppress the troll were also shocked. Although they didn't know what happened in the Demon Subduing Tower, they clearly felt that the pressure on themselves was much less, as if a demon had disappeared. Could it be!
As if they had thought of something, the two supreme elders looked at each other and joy appeared on their faces.
Originally, they had some doubts about whether Jiale could really eliminate the demons, but now they no longer have any doubts, because Jiale really has something.
They did not slow down their strength just because they killed a demon, but instead increased it. Hope was right in front of them, how could they not be excited? The more strength they put in, the more relaxed Jiale would be. If they didn't try their best now, what were they waiting for?
In the Demon Subduing Tower, the remaining two demons were a little puzzled as to why their boss's aura had disappeared. When they found that the pressure was increasing, they cursed, wondering what was wrong with the two supreme elders of Maoshan.
They had no time to care about the boss. After all, in their cognition, they were immortal. Otherwise, they would not have been locked up here and would have been killed long ago. In this case, what did the boss have to worry about?
Jiale also felt something and without delay, he stepped directly into the eighth floor.
On the eighth floor, the second of the three trolls suddenly felt a breath of life. This was the breath of humanity, and it was such a wonderful breath.
When the demons launched a massive attack on the world of Liao Zhai, the three brothers led the attack on Maoshan. At that time, they discovered that devouring humans could actually enhance their magic skills and increase their magic power. From then on, they wanted to devour all the humans they saw, especially the monks.
Unfortunately, his great cause was not accomplished and he died halfway. There were too many ruthless people in Maoshan. Even if they were immortal, they were all suppressed.
It was pitch dark in the Demon-Subduing Tower, and they didn't know how long they had been suppressed. Suddenly, they smelled the breath of a living person, and the second brother became excited instantly. Meat! He was like a person who had not eaten meat for decades. When he smelled the aroma of Jiale, his mouth was watering.
whoosh!
Without hesitation, the second brother rushed over the moment Jia Le appeared on the eighth floor. However, what greeted him was not a mouthful of delicious fat meat, but a pitch-black lotus platform. The terrifying aura hit him in the face, making the second brother feel fear from the bottom of his heart in an instant.
As the demon soul was absorbed, the shadow of the eighth lotus of the Nine Nether Divine Lotus gradually solidified, and its aura was a thousand times more terrifying than the one the troll had encountered before.
What's more, the second brother's strength is not as good as the eldest brother, and he is further suppressed by the two supreme elders. The strength he can exert at this time is really limited.
Caught off guard, the second brother was dragged into the lotus platform by the Nine Nether Divine Lotus without any preparation at all.
However, the second brother was once a True Immortal-level troll. The Nine Nether Divine Lotus, which had not yet blossomed to the eighth level, was unable to completely suppress him. A tug-of-war began. However, time was on the side of the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. After all, the Nine Nether Divine Lotus was supported by a huge demon soul and would soon blossom to the eighth level. By then, the second brother would be nothing more than a piece of cake.
As the second brother was taken down by the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, a demonic shadow flashed by. It had wanted to attack with the second brother, but now it escaped because it was a step slower. It appeared in front of Jiale and looked at Jiale vigilantly.
Jiale directly put away the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. The third brother was the weakest, and he wanted to use it to hone his skills. Moreover, Jiale also realized that only under pressure and in battle could the absorption of energy be faster.
