Chapter 2040 Demonic ConferenceIn a medium-sized fairyland, there is a sect hidden by a large cloud formation. On the gate are three large characters "Tongtian Sword Sect" clearly engraved!However, although the name of this sect sounds grand, the interior appears extremely dilapidated. Not only is there no one in sight, but many of the buildings within the sect also show signs of damage.
Even the square in front of the meeting hall was filled with flying swords that had lost all their spiritual energy, like a desolate and silent sword tomb.
This doesn't look like a normally functioning sect at all, but rather like a relic.
However, in a cave deep in the sect, there were an old man and a young man living in seclusion and practicing.
"Old man, Tian Yanguan suddenly closed himself off for hundreds of years. Is he going to finish his business or run away?"
Fan Mengyi put down the jade slip in her hand and suddenly said to You Wanxing who was sitting cross-legged and practicing martial arts not far away.
"Nonsense, the master of the temple is the ancestor of Taoism, and he has the Tianyanyi in his hand. Even the Heavenly Court has to give him some face. How could he be as unbearable as you say?"
Although You Wanxing was scolding, his tone was not harsh. He had long been accustomed to Fan Mengyi's disrespectful character.
"Then why are we not allowed to use the Tianyan Instrument all of a sudden?
I finally gathered all the divine points and was about to push the Tongtian Sword Canon to the next level."
Fan Mengyi didn't really think that anything would happen to Tianyan Temple, but she was eager to acquire new skills.
After practicing Tongtian Sword Canon, she was no longer interested in other sword techniques.
I really don't understand how the Tongtian Sword Sect, which possessed such a mysterious sword technique, was ruined. Perhaps this technique was incomplete from the beginning.
“I have already asked several friends, and they found out that the temple was closed because a Taoist priest from Heaven was coming to visit, and the temple master needs to meet him in person.
It will certainly take a long time for a Daoist master to discuss the Dao, so please be patient."
You Wanxing still closed his eyes and practiced his skills.
The vitality he lost from his previous injury has hardly recovered, so he has been practicing qigong all day long over the past few years to recuperate.
It is worth mentioning that You Wanxing did not actually need such a long recovery time, but because he left most of his resources to Fan Mengyi's cultivation, he has not recovered until today.
Anyway, he is a Taiyi monk and does not have to worry about the five signs of decay. Time is not valuable to him.
"Is that so? Alas, why did you come when I wanted to use the Tian Yan Yi, instead of earlier? It would be great if the Tian Yan Yi could appear directly in front of me."
Fan Mengyi didn't like waiting, but she could only complain at the moment.
But just when she was about to go out to refine the sword, circles of dense white light suddenly emerged in the cave.
Before the two could react, the space in the center of the white light fluctuated and a heavy object fell to the ground.
Such a loud noise naturally startled You Wanxing and he opened his eyes, but the moment he saw the heavy object clearly, he was stunned.
"Tian Yan Yi!"
What's going on? Could it be that Fan Mengyi has the innate ability to turn her words into reality? !
As he exclaimed, a beam of white light burst out from the center of the Tianyan Instrument, directly enveloping Fan Mengyi.
Suddenly, Fan Mengyi felt a large amount of information pouring into her soul, causing her pupils to dilate and she stood there unable to move.
You Wanxing became very anxious upon seeing this, but as he did not know the situation, he did not dare to act rashly.
But he did not do nothing. Instead, he took out a formation plate and began to use all his strength to activate the mountain protection formation to cover up the aura emitted by the Tianyan Instrument!
Luo Hong knew nothing about the changes in Tianyan Temple. He was still refining meteorites in the Tianwai Domain.
Seven full days passed like this before all the meteorites that were pulled in were refined and turned into primordial energy surrounding the small black ball.
“This is called cultivation!”
Luo Hong suddenly felt refreshed. After this wave, the Mi Tian Bell and the Golden Soul Flame could both be upgraded to second-grade immortal weapons, reaching the same level as the Breaking Heaven Spear.
Correspondingly, his cultivation of the Taichu Law can also be improved to the middle stage of Daluo, and his strength will soon usher in a round of rapid growth.
"Humph! Tianyan Temple, the offense and defense have to change!"
It was as if a mountain had been removed from his heart. Since Luo Hong ascended to heaven, he had never felt as relaxed as he did today.
"Hmm? Something's happening!"
Just when Luo Hong put the little black ball away, he suddenly felt a darkness in the distance and couldn't help but focus his eyes to look over there.
There is naturally no sun in the outer space, but because all kinds of immortal materials exposed on the surface of meteorites emit spiritual light, the environment is not dim.
The current situation is that the spiritual light coming from the far distance ahead seems to be suddenly blocked by something, which makes Luo Hong feel unusual.
With his smart eyes, Luo Hong saw that it was actually an extremely huge black cloud, which was sweeping towards him like a tide.
The black cloud kept rolling, and various shadows could be vaguely seen flashing inside, which looked extremely strange.
“It turned out to be the Demon Cloud.”
The Demonic Cloud is one of the three most dangerous things in the outer world, but it is not an unknown danger after all, so Luo Hong soon relaxed.
"It seems that it sensed the noise I made and came here specifically to hunt me.
What should I do? Should I collect them? With such a large number, they would be of some use in practicing the Dark Spirit Anti-God Method."
Luo Hong's spiritual cultivation has now reached the middle stage of Daluo, and any further improvement will be extremely difficult.
Otherwise, he would not have thought of going to the Netherworld to capture Taiyi or even Daluo-level Yin beasts to help him practice.
"Forget it. It will take a lot of time to subdue so many demons. It's not worth delaying my plan for such a small improvement."
Luo Hong changed his mind and prepared to give up.
Because he had left a spatial mark on the Ascension Altar, he could move back directly by activating the laws of space.
"Wait a minute! My main body, since you don't want it, can you give me this group of demonic clouds?"
At this moment, a voice sounded in Luo Hong's soul.
"Ghost King? What do you want so many demons for?"
Luo Hong was a little surprised. He hadn't paid attention to this incarnation of his for a long time and didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to make a request at this time.
"Soldiers must be maintained every day, and they cannot be used forever. The ghost soldiers under my command need a big battle to eliminate the dross and retain the essence. Those who remain can also greatly improve their cultivation!"
The Ghost King immediately replied via telepathy.
"Are you sure that the ghost soldiers under your command can contend with so many demons?"
It’s not that Luo Hong looked down on the Ghost King, it’s just that the demonic cloud in front of him was really huge, with an area of more than 100 million feet, and it was dark and overwhelming, with an extremely terrifying momentum!Moreover, there are not only ordinary demons in the Demon Cloud, but also many beings above the level of True Immortals.
"Master, do you think I have been eating dry food all these years?Release me and my ghost army, and you will understand."
The Ghost King said this very confidently.
"Well, I'll let you try."
Luo Hong really didn't care about the number of ghost soldiers in the Netherworld Cave Heaven. After all, he trained these ghost soldiers only to improve the grade of the Netherworld Cave Heaven and didn't intend to use them to fight the enemy.
But now that the Ghost King mentioned this, he was really curious.
As his mind moved, a vortex of black fog with a diameter of tens of thousands of feet appeared above Luo Hong's head. Immediately, countless armored ghosts rushed out like a torrent, with no intention of stopping.
A black shadow flashed, and the Ghost King appeared beside Luo Hong.
"How is my army? Is it still strong?"
"It's my army."
Luo Hong emphasized.
The Ghost King's excited expression suddenly froze, and then he said in a deep voice:"Main body, do you really have to ruin my fun?"
"Even if your army is ready and about to engage in battle, don't you need to go and lead it?"
Luo Hong has already scanned the area with his spiritual sense, and there are indeed a lot of ghost soldiers in the Netherworld Cave Heaven, and the number has exceeded 100 million.
I guess the Ghost King spends his days practicing and training his soldiers.
"Ahem, I only have Taiyi cultivation. How can I deal with so many opponents of the same level?"
The Ghost King suddenly put on a smiling face.
"You said it so confidently, but it turns out you still want me to take action."
Luo Hong suddenly felt speechless. He was not such a shameless person. Why didn't this incarnation look like him at all?
But training a ghost army is indeed a serious matter.
Because the divine consciousness cannot penetrate too deeply into the demon cloud, it cannot lock onto the demons above Taiyi, and therefore cannot move them away directly.
So Luo Hong took out the Sky-breaking Spear and directly condensed a layer of space barrier around the battlefield.
This barrier can only allow demons below Taiyi to pass through, thus limiting the level of the war.
"Haha, Master, just wait here for me to send you the good news!"
The Ghost King laughed upon seeing this, summoned a cool-looking skeleton chariot, and rushed towards the battlefield.
Soon, hundreds of millions of ghost soldiers collided with the Demonic Cloud.
Compared with the demons who were fighting on their own, the ghost soldiers had a tight formation and gained a huge advantage right from the start, killing the attacking demons frantically.
But in terms of numbers, the demons have an absolute advantage.
Under their attack, hundreds of millions of ghost soldiers were like a reef standing in the sea.
Although some debris is carried away by each wash, it still stands firm.
After just watching for a while, Luo Hong knew the outcome of this battle. The Demon Cloud was a good whetstone, but that was all.
Therefore, he turned his attention to those Taiyi Heavenly Demons who were unable to enter the battlefield and were in a state of powerlessness and rage.
Soon, Luo Hong noticed an extremely special demon. His cultivation was not the highest among the many Taiyi demons, but he was the most unique. At this moment, he was looking at Luo Hong with a smile.
At a glance, Luo Hong recognized the other person. He was the young man from Xiongjiabao with whom he had once done business.
He is also one of the incarnations of the Heavenly Demon Daozu!
"It's you, Senior. It's been a long time."
Luo Hong was not afraid either. He flashed in front of him and bowed to him.
"My dear friend, I have helped you before, and this is how you repay me?"
The frail young man still kept smiling, but his tone was extremely cold.
“It’s just a spur of the moment thing. Anyway, not all demons are the incarnations of the predecessors.
But if the seniors really care, I will ask them to stop."
Luo Hong said in a humble manner.
"You have done quite well in the Samsara Palace. In just a few thousand years, you have achieved such a high level of cultivation."
The frail young man did not wonder why the trap he had set for Luo Hong in the past did not work.
After all, Luo Hong has already become a Daluo monk, so it is normal for his plan to be discovered.
Of course, he did not ask Luo Hong to stop. Compared with the entire Heavenly Demon Clan, those few Heavenly Demons were simply dispensable.
"Thanks to the Palace Master for his support."
Luo Hong directly put the blame on the Lord of the Samsara Palace.
"Hmph, I just wonder if you are still willing to accompany me to attend the Heavenly Demon Conference?"
More than two thousand years later, the frail young man invited Luo Hong again.
"The Heavenly Demon Conference? I don't know much about this."
Luo Hong looked puzzled. He had asked about the relevant situation when he met the frail young man last time, but the other party did not tell him.
Later, Luo Hong also inquired through various channels including the Heavenly Court, but did not get any information. The level of secrecy was surprisingly high.
"Originally I couldn't reveal this to you, but judging from your expression, you've obviously learned a lot about me from that Samsara guy, so it's okay to reveal a little more to you."
This boy is a Daluo cultivator, but when he saw a Taiyi Heavenly Demon like me, he directly called me "senior".
Obviously, he knew who I was!I don’t know what’s so special about this boy that makes that guy Samsara trust him so much.
As the frail young man's thoughts turned, he spoke again:"The Heavenly Demon Conference is a gathering of all my true spirit clones. The result of the conference will determine who will be the leader when we merge together next time, so it is very important to me."
"True spirit clone? Senior is truly not an ordinary person!"
Luo Hong was shocked when he heard that and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "That's amazing."
The clones must either be of the same consciousness or have a primary and secondary distinction, so as to ensure that you are still yourself after the fusion.
But there is also a magic method in the power of clones, and that is the true spirit clone!Because these clones all possess a bit of the original body's true spirit, they are all the main body, and after being separated for a long time, their consciousness will be greatly differentiated.
Even if they reunite later, this differentiation will not disappear.
To put it bluntly, it's super multiple personality disorder!
However, what amazed Luo Hong the most was that the Heavenly Demon Daozu could really reunite, and apparently he had done so more than once.
After all, it stands to reason that the consciousness of the true spirit clone will definitely go its separate ways after it splits, and will not be willing to merge again.
"Good fellow, no wonder there is no information about the Heavenly Demon Conference in the outside world. It turns out that this conference was held by Heavenly Demon Daozu himself!"
"What, are you scared? Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think. With the Heavenly Demon Avenue as a connection, it is not difficult to merge.
And no matter what happens, there are a lot of people to discuss with you. Isn’t that good?”
The frail young man does not think there is anything wrong with his form of existence.
Luo Hong didn't want to dwell on this issue with him, so he took the initiative to change the subject:
"Since it is such a private gathering, why did you invite me to go?"
“The conference respects the use of force, and the True Spirit clones cannot fight each other, otherwise it will weaken the cultivation after the fusion, so naturally we need outsiders to help.
Originally you were just one of my alternatives, but now that you have reached the level of Daluo, you have become my best choice!
How about it? As long as you help me win the tournament, you will get all the benefits!"
The frail young man looked at Luo Hong with burning eyes.
