Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 30: Clues
Qiu family scripture library.
After Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan came to ask the head of the Qiu family for more information, Qiu Changqing brought them here.
In front of a huge cabinet.
Qiu Changqing pointed at the dozens of jade slips displayed on it and said, "Two senior cultivators, the jade slips on this cabinet are all the information related to the source land and the source monster recorded by our Qiu family. You can read them at will if you need."
Ji Chuan nodded, "Thank you very much, Master Qiu."
"As you should. After all, the two senior cultivators are here to help the Qiu family solve the source monster disaster, so we should do our best to cooperate with them," Qiu Changqing said with a big smile on his face. "Then I will withdraw first. The two senior cultivators, please do as you please."
Qiu Changqing tactfully said goodbye and left, leaving the space to the two senior cultivators.
"Let's look for it." Lu Qingshan glanced at the dazzling array of jade slips and exhaled lightly, "Let's see if we can find some useful clues among them."
A moment later.
"Take a look at this." Ji Chuan handed a jade slip to Lu Qingshan.
The jade slip contains a brief introduction to the Source Demon King:
The Source Demon King is considered to be one of the most formidable and difficult to kill eighth-grade demon kings in the world. It has been said that as long as the source land does not dry up, the Source Demon King will not die.
This is because the cultivation method practiced by Yuan Yao Wang is special, and is said to have come from the underworld, which Yuan Yao Wang obtained from the Jiuyou Kanfeng Map.
As long as he is unable to kill the Source Demon King in one go, he can quickly recover from his injuries by absorbing the Yellow Spring Death Energy.
In other words, as long as he is in the source land, the Source Demon King is almost immortal.
In addition, the cultivation method practiced by Yuan Yao Wang also has a special magical power. He will condense a Yellow Spring Pearl related to his own life, which is somewhat similar to the golden elixir of a cultivator.
The Yellow Spring Pearl has many powerful abilities, the most bizarre of which is that it can absorb the souls of living beings in the six realms of reincarnation and enhance its own strength by refining their souls.
It was also with the help of this magical power that the Source Demon King was able to rise against the will of heaven, becoming an eighth-grade demon king in a source land where even seventh-grade source demons had never appeared.
"Refine the soul and spirit of the living being..." Lu Qingshan's face was heavy.
Once a person's soul is refined, there is no possibility of reincarnation.
This method is too cruel and goes against the will of nature, and has always been a taboo among cultivators.
The Source Demon King is difficult to kill, and his magical powers are so cruel, no wonder he is said to be one of the most difficult demon kings to deal with.
After all, if he were to be hated by the Source Demon King, he would be in great pain with these two methods.
Lu Qingshan held another jade slip in his hand, which also contained some information. "According to the records of the Qiu family, a very strange thing happened in the source land thirty years ago."
Ji Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"Thirty years ago, the Yellow Spring Death Qi in the Source Land had an unusual movement. The specific reason is unknown. But after that day, the Source Demon Queen unexpectedly died inexplicably. It is said that the angry Source Demon King started a massacre in the Source Land because of this, which frightened countless Source Demons. At that time, a group of Source Demons were so scared that they temporarily fled the Source Land and returned after a long time ."
"The Source Demon Queen?" Ji Chuan asked.
"The spouse of the Origin Demon King is a sixth-rank Origin Demon." Lu Qingshan said, "To really talk about the Origin Demon Queen and the Origin Demon King, it can be considered an anecdote.
The Source Demon Queen was born with extraordinary blood and was extremely noble. She was the descendant of the strongest Source Demon in the Source Land at that time.
Because of his good fortune, the Source Demon King obtained the Nine Netherworld Geomancy Map, a natural magical object from the underworld, and began to rise.
But before she really rose to prominence, the Source Demon Queen somehow took a liking to the Source Demon King, who was still a little demon at the time, and married him.
The Source Demon King also took advantage of this opportunity to rise to prominence and became one of the most noble Source Demons in the Source Land, with countless resources.
If you calculate it this way, in fact, the Source Demon King’s growth into an eighth-grade great demon can be attributed to at least 10% of the credit given by the Source Demon Queen.
It is also because of this that the Source Demon King and the Source Demon Queen have always had a very good relationship. On the day when the Source Demon Queen passed away, the Source Demon King seemed so sad and angry, and implicated so many Source Demons. "
"It's really interesting," Ji Chuan laughed, "As a demon beast, the Source Demon King is actually so sentimental. "
Ji Chuan seemed to be thinking about something. He groaned for a moment and then said, "Although there is no concrete evidence, I always feel that the conspiracy of the underworld is related to the inexplicable death of the source demon queen thirty years ago."
Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement.
“Here is some information about the source.
As the origin area is a restricted area, humans’ understanding of its structure is still extremely superficial.
All we know is that the source land is divided into four major regions: southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. There is a sixth-grade source monster in each region, known as the Four Monster Kings.
The territory of the Source Demon King is at the central intersection of the four major areas.
The relationship between the Source Demon King and the four great demon kings is a bit like the relationship between the emperor and the princes in the secular world. The Source Demon King has no intention of directly unifying the Source Land, so the four major areas of the Source Land are under the command of the four great demon kings.
But once the Source Demon King issues an order, the four demon kings will obey him." Lu Qingshan looked at the jade slip and said again.
After hearing this, Ji Chuan thought for a moment and analyzed: "From this we can at least conclude that the source monsters are under the control of the Monster King. So many source monsters left the source land and invaded the Burial Ridge. It is impossible for them to do so on their own initiative. They are obviously organized and under the command of someone."
Lu Qingshan's eyes narrowed, "Is this the order from the Demon King?"
"This is the biggest possibility. If it was the Source Demon King who gave the order, the scale of the Source Demon riot would not be so small."
Ji Chuan nodded and said, "Of course, this is just the biggest possibility at the moment. Perhaps besides the Monster King, there are others who can command the Source Monster."
"There has always been peace between the Source Land and Burial Ridge. There is no reason for the Source Monsters to suddenly have any ideas about Burial Ridge. After all, there is no Yellow Spring Death Qi in Burial Ridge, so it is not a place where Source Monsters can stay for long. If those Source Monsters had not absorbed the Yellow Spring Death Qi accumulated in the Source Stone Orchid Mine, we would not have to clear them out. They would have returned to the Source Land in just half a month. Behind such abnormal signs, it is obvious that the Underworld has established a connection with the Source Monsters through some unknown means."
Lu Qingshan said in a deep voice: "If we want to solve the source of this source demon riot, our top priority should be to find the underworld cultivators hiding in the dark."
…
A place filled with gloomy aura.
"Master Jiuyou, affected by our Jiuyou miasma, the source monsters have already launched attacks on the three families in Burial Ridge."
The underworld cultivator called Hei Luo was reporting respectfully to the Lord of Jiuyou Palace: "The Lin family and the Hua family were both destroyed in the attack of the source monster. Only the Qiu family, because of the disciples of the Sword Sect, killed all the source monsters and survived."
At this point, Hei Luo laughed proudly, "This is exactly what we expected."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds smiled sinisterly, "The sacrifice of so many source monsters is enough to trigger the monster's wrath...
You prepare to inadvertently expose the clues we have laid out to Ji Chuan, so that he can find the "source" of the source monster's riot. "
"Doesn't he want to quell the source demon rebellion? Haha... then let him quell it. I'm afraid he can't do it..." The tone of the Lord of Jiuyou Palace was extremely cold.
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away ." Hei Luo responded immediately, then stepped out and disappeared into the shadows.
