The sky gradually brightened.
The Five Poisons Sect.
Several dozen miles to the northwest.
In the underground river, hundreds of feet deep.
A completely black clam shell emerged from the water. Its shell was slightly open, and eighteen streams of light flew out from it, landing on the underground river cave and the surrounding ground.
Each streak of light was a gray-black spirit banner, on which was engraved a strange insect demon that looked like black sludge. The black insect demon looked like an enlarged version of a silkworm.
However, it has a pair of pure black wings on its back.
Spiritual energy surged from the banner, and countless dark insect demons, each nearly three feet long, flew out from it and began to hover above the black clam.
In the blink of an eye.
The eighteen insect demons spewed out streams of black sludge from their mouths. All the sludge merged together as if it were imbued with a spiritual quality, forming a black curtain of sludge within a hundred feet of the cave.
This created an isolated area within the darkness.
The formation was set up.
From inside the clam shell, more than a dozen streaks of light flew out and landed around the cave.
The Black Water Demon King sat alone on a black jade platform. The platform, which was about ten feet wide, floated half a foot in the air. Many mysterious array patterns were engraved on the dark jade platform.
The black jade platform exuded an aura comparable to that of a third-tier magic weapon.
Clearly, this black jade platform, even if not a third-tier magic weapon, is a top-tier spiritual object among second-tier magic artifacts.
"Your Majesty."
"This place is only about thirty miles away from the Five Poisons Sect."
"If the Five Poisons Sect really dares to open the mountain-protecting formation again, then this time we will be able to sense it from here using the released mist insects."
Among them, a Foundation Establishment sea monster shrouded in black demonic mist emitted an extremely shrill voice.
"Your Majesty."
"The senses of the mist insects alone are probably not enough to pose a threat to the Five Poisons Sect!"
"Why don't we continue towards the Five Poisons Sect? Once the sect's protective formation disappears again, we can charge straight in."
"By joining forces with you from the inside out, we can pry open the Five Poisons Gate in one fell swoop."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"The Five Poisons Sect is so arrogant, it's time to put them down."
"Otherwise, what will the sea monsters in other territories think of us?"
The other Foundation Establishment stage sea monsters around them were also eager to try, their eyes seemingly wanting to break into the Five Poisons Sect.
"Just wait."
"We don't need to care what the other sirens think of us."
"The Five Poisons Sect is, after all, a Core Formation sect that has ruled this area for over a thousand years. It must have some resources."
"Once you break into the Five Poisons Sect and engage in combat with their cultivators, remember not to underestimate them."
"Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect usually raise Gu worms. The abilities of Gu worms are varied, and if you don't understand them during a battle, you can easily suffer a great loss."
The Blackwater Demon King spoke calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the Blackwater Demon King spoke, the murderous and troublesome Foundation Establishment stage sea demons in their eyes lost all their anger and other emotions.
One by one, they sat cross-legged on the bank of the underground river and meditated quietly.
And this moment.
A wisp of the Blackwater Demon King's divine sense landed on one of his clones, heading straight for the Five Poisons Sect.
That clone was hidden inside the body of a sparrow demon.
After flying over the mountains,
They then arrived at the gate of the Five Poisons Sect.
Through the eyes of the bird spirit, the Five Poisons Gate, shrouded in layers of malevolent energy, could be clearly seen in the distance. The bird spirit controlled by the Black Water Demon King had only approached the vicinity of the Five Poisons Gate.
The bird spirit's vision began to blur.
A few breaths later.
The bird then fell from the branch and crashed into the dense forest below, losing consciousness.
"Such a potent poison..."
The Black Water Demon King saw that the bird spirits he controlled were only watching from afar, so he absorbed some of their evil energy and subsequently died as a result.
This clearly shows that the Five Poisons Sect's protective formation is now fully activated.
But at this very moment,
An unexpected change occurred.
The dense malevolent energy on the mountain-protecting formation dissipated completely.
The mountain gate beneath the array was revealed, with five towering peaks reaching into the clouds, and human cultivators could be seen flying past them with streaks of light.
"The formation has been activated!"
The Black Water Demon King's clone was filled with surprise. Then, a wisp of his divine sense slipped out from the sparrow demon and went straight into the ground.
From several feet underground, it resembled a fish swimming underground.
It headed towards the mountain gate of the Five Poisons Sect.
In just a few breaths,
It passed through the area originally concealed by the formation and entered the inner gate of the Five Poisons Sect.
now.
"what?"
"Senior brother, what about our sect's protective formation?"
"Why does it feel like it's disappeared?"
"How could this be?"
"Has our ancestor changed his nature?"
"We must fight to the death against those invading sea monsters. Just a few days ago, some Foundation Establishment cultivators from our vassal states died at the hands of the sea monsters."
"The sea monsters outside this mountain gate are currently rampant. Removing the protective formation at this time is simply a prelude to a battle with the sea monsters."
"This has happened several times already; it seems the Ancestor's mind is quite resolute!"
"Our ancestor is mighty!"
"Why should we cultivators fear those sea monsters..."
At this moment, a human cultivator with an insect-like face among the Qi Refining cultivators shouted.
There were many older Qi Refining cultivators nearby, and when they saw the figure of the insect-faced cultivator, they all frowned slightly.
How many fellow cultivators will perish in the battle against the sea monster?
Many of their older Qi Refining cultivators had experienced several major battles, while many of the younger Qi Refining cultivators longed for the opportunity to clash with other forces.
They secretly hoped to gain fame through this.
However, most Qi Refining cultivators do not want to fight. They just want to cultivate in the mountains. They don't even have enough time to meditate and cultivate every day. Why would they want to fight to the death with other cultivators?
If one advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, one can extend their lifespan by more than a hundred years. At that time, there will be no worry about not being able to prosper their respective families.
If many Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect choose to leave the sect, the sect will allocate them a second-tier spiritual vein so that the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators can settle down in that place.
Each year, all that is needed is to offer some spiritual items to the Five Poisons Sect.
Many low-level Qi Refining cultivators share this dream.
Main peak.
Inside the cave at the top of the mountain.
A wisp of yellow light shot out from within and landed outside the mansion gate.
It was a large, yellow-scaled snake, several meters long, looking up at the empty mountain gate.
His snake-like eyes were filled with astonishment.
again!
Moreover, the protective mountain formation had been ineffective for a full ten breaths this time.
This is a long time ago.
Swish!
At this moment, Huang Tu immediately summoned the array's central array plate and carefully sensed it with his Core Formation stage divine sense. Relying on his knowledge of Song Bai's array techniques, he...
Huang Tu's understanding of the central structure of this formation has deepened considerably.
Through his Core Formation stage divine sense, he discovered that there was nothing wrong with the central structure of the formation; however, the spiritual energy above the formation had been immediately drawn away.
Tens of thousands of spirit stones!
This has happened several times in just a few days.
Especially this time.
Since the core of the formation is fine, the only option is to replace the spirit stones as quickly as possible.
Spirit stones flew out of the storage bag like flowing water and were poured into the array plate in one go.
"No!"
"impossible!"
Huang Tu watched as tens of thousands of spirit stones were stuffed into the array plate, but the array plate still didn't react at all. This was completely different from the previous times!
Where's the spiritual energy?!
We can't have absolutely nothing!
Huang Tu looked at the spirit stone at the center of the formation, and it seemed as if the spiritual energy on it had been drawn away out of thin air.
at the same time.
Huang Tu had already sensed that numerous communication jade slips were flying toward him from the other spiritual peaks.
According to the sect's rules, Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed on each peak cannot easily leave the Spirit Peak without the permission of Ancestor Huang Tu. Therefore, they can only try to find out what this snake demon ancestor is thinking through communication jade slips.
Some of the jade slips contained admonitions against Huang Tu.
At this time, the Siren was at the height of her power.
Moreover, the sea demons are fierce in their battles, and they generally do not gain the upper hand when fighting against cultivators of the same level.
The Five Poisons Sect must not wage war against the sea monsters, otherwise their lineage may be severed.
Taking advantage of the formation, remaining calm and collected is the right approach.
He knows everything!
But the central structure of the formation was completely useless.
...
...
"This snake demon!?"
The Black Water Demon King, who had just entered the Five Poisons Sect, was completely dumbfounded by what he saw.
Twenty breaths have already passed.
But the Five Poisons Sect's array barrier has always been wide open, isn't that exactly welcoming the invasion of the sea monster clan?
Is this insane?!
Immediately afterwards, on the riverbank of the underground dark river dozens of miles away, the true form of the Black Water Demon King suddenly flew out, transforming into a black stream of light and heading straight for the location of the Five Poisons Sect.
at the same time.
On an unnamed low peak a few miles away from the Five Poisons Sect, a kind-faced, plump old man appeared, with a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Not in line with common sense.
The snake demon in the early stage of Core Formation from the Five Poisons Sect couldn't understand why the other party would open the Five Poisons Sect's protective array. With the protection of this array, it could be said that even a demon cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation would have a hard time breaking it.
In particular, the Five Poisons Sect has hundreds of cultivators. With so many cultivators guarding the core of the formation, it can be said to be as solid as a rock.
Opening the formation at this moment would be tantamount to digging one's own grave.
Regardless, this is an excellent opportunity.
He was determined to obtain the Poison King Cauldron from the Five Poisons Sect. The elixir inside the cauldron was the key to his breakthrough, and he would not let it go no matter what.
Currently, there is only one Core Formation stage snake demon outside the Five Poisons Sect, so he doesn't need to be too wary of it.
"They've arrived."
The fat old man raised his hand and waved it, and a green spiritual energy wrapped around his body as he disappeared into the branches of a spiritual tree on the side.
He looked up at the sky to one side.
That conspicuous black streak of light beneath the sky rushed straight toward the Five Poisons Sect at an astonishing speed.
The Five Poisons Sect's protective formation still showed no sign of being activated.
It wasn't until the Black Water Demon King entered the Five Poisons Sect that a look of solemnity flashed across the fat old man's face. He even suspected that the snake demon Huang Tu might have mastered some kind of killing move.
The snake demon Huang Tu intended to kill the Core Formation stage sea monster within the Five Poisons Sect.
Boom! Boom!
Two incredibly powerful Core Formation stage auras emanated from the Five Poisons Sect. At this moment, all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators on the spiritual peaks within the Five Poisons Sect rushed out of their respective caves.
Each of them unleashed their own handy magical artifacts and headed straight for the main peak, surrounding the Black Water Demon King whose demonic aura soared into the sky.
The portly old man did not make a move, but waited for an opportunity.
He still couldn't believe that the snake demon Huang Tu had no backup plan.
...
...
now.
Lin Li, who had already infiltrated the Five Poisons Sect, watched with great interest the two Core Formation stage demon cultivators fighting each other on a platform on Black Gu Peak.
The more fiercely these two Core Formation stage demon cultivators fought, the better.
If both sides suffer heavy losses, he will naturally have the opportunity to profit.
When the protective mountain formation disappeared for the first time, Lin Li took the opportunity to infiltrate the Five Poisons Sect. He was proficient in the method of circulating evil energy, and in his previous life, he had also specially cultivated a disguise technique.
Unless a Core Formation cultivator is in his presence, it's difficult to detect any discrepancy between his identity and reality.
He was merely disguised as a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. When the array's central core malfunctioned, the Core Formation stage snake demon from the Five Poisons Sect would certainly not have the mind to care about other parts of the sect.
Lin Li stayed in the Five Poisons Sect for a few days.
After refining the power of the array restrictions within his body, he gained two more drops of liquid mana.
This greatly helped his cultivation.
after that.
After absorbing the power of the restriction for the second time, his cultivation level smoothly broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
After advancing his cultivation, Lin Li also took in several Foundation Establishment stage human cultivators as servants within the Five Poisons Sect, in addition to the seventeen Foundation Establishment stage sea demons under the Black Water Demon King.
There are a total of twenty-two Foundation Establishment cultivators whose soul blood can be controlled by Lin Li.
It was precisely because of this that when the mountain-protecting formation malfunctioned for the third time, Lin Li prepared to completely open the Five Poisons Sect's mountain-protecting formation from the inside. At this moment, the spiritual energy ball formed by the formation's restrictive power within Lin Li was almost bursting his dantian.
Lin Li now appears as a yellow fox demon.
Lin Li stood on the branch of an ancient tree. He had been a fox before, so he could easily grasp the essence of the fox's form.
In the blink of an eye.
After a hundred moves
Both Huang Tu and the Blackwater Sea Demon were injured, and the spiritual energy they emitted exerted a powerful pressure that made the Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounding them feel as heavy as mountains.
The cultivators could only restrain one or two of the Core Formation sea monsters surrounding the center by wielding their magical artifacts.
At this time,
Lin Li gathered one of the wisps of spiritual energy that had escaped into his body and instantly refined it into his own.
