Chapter 1534 Spiritual War Disaster
The next moment, Xiao Mian returned to the Du Zun Mansion.
The chessboard with 19 vertical and horizontal lines is the key to enter the Du Zun Mansion. The premise is that it must first be recognized by the alarm bell of the Du Zun Mansion formation.
It's a coincidence!
On that day when Lingxu was in a desperate situation, Xiao Mian was framed by Taixu Zhenren and fell into the eye of Lingxu. At that time, it was the time for "the alarm bell to ring and the Du Zun Mansion to open"!
With the chessboard in his hand, Xiao Mian entered the Du Zun Mansion in a daze.
Now, Xiao Mian is the master of the Du Zun Mansion, so naturally there are no taboos.
Besides, in these years, Xiao Mian has been running around or in seclusion in the outside world for several years, so the time in the Du Zun Mansion has naturally passed longer.
Fortunately, everyone in the Du Zun Mansion knew that time was tight, and they were busy in seclusion. In fact, even if some people wanted to fish in troubled waters, Xiao Mian would not agree!
Guitou is in charge of the alarm bell, and anyone who commits crimes will be expelled from the country!
In the Du Zun Mansion, after decades of retreat, everyone's cultivation has improved...
One third of the one hundred Yuanyings were expelled, leaving sixty or seventy people.
The leader was the one that even Xiao Mian dared not underestimate - Mo Yin!
This boy really has accumulated a lot of experience. After decades of retreat, he actually broke through two levels in a row, ascended to the sky in one step, and entered the realm of a high-level Yuanying cultivator!
He stands out from the crowd and is extraordinary.
Jin Weili, Zi Yi Hou, Bing Mo, Xing Hua, Leng Wuyan, Li Jingnian, Bai Qiye, Ling Seng Benchu and Fu Xigui, these nine people also successfully broke through the bottleneck and reached the realm of the middle level of Yuanying; Lei Yunze, the demon cultivator of the East Sea, also successfully passed the heavenly tribulation and entered the realm of the eighth-level demon king.
Although other Yuanying ancestors failed to break through the bottleneck, they also benefited a lot from the decades of retreat. More people just lacked an opportunity to break through.
For example, Gui Hai, Jing Chu, Yin Jiansheng and others all have the foundation to break through in battle!
Below the Nascent Soul is the Golden Core.
More than a thousand Golden Cores entered the Du Zun Mansion. Although some were lost, they also gained a lot.
Take Hemerocallis as an example. He successfully condensed the Nascent Soul and became the ancestor. With the magic weapons and spiritual medicines carefully prepared by Xiao Mian, he finally had some self-protection power in the spiritual battle.
Although Xiao Nanming and Xiao Bailu, the two siblings, practiced hard, their foundation was still shallow and they were still a step away from condensing the Nascent Soul; Fu Qingjue and Xiao Chuqing had an even shallower foundation, so they naturally had no chance to condense the Nascent Soul; even Huo Longer and Huo Fenger, the siblings, were in the same situation, but these six people had polished their cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core.
Given time, it would be a natural thing to cross the tribulation and condense the Nascent Soul.
Hu Sheng was a pure body refiner. He didn't even have a Golden Core in his body, so he naturally couldn't break the Core to condense the Nascent Soul, but Hu Sheng's attainments in body refinement also rose.
Unfortunately, Chu Xingxuan was temporarily recalled to Feitian Sect by Xiao Mian, otherwise, with her ninth-grade golden elixir, it would not be difficult for her to pass the great heavenly tribulation.
Among the golden elixir cultivators affiliated with Nanyue, there are quite a few who have successfully condensed their infants.
For example, Kong Yuanren, although he was later than Xiao Mian and others, he also successfully condensed his infant.
For example, Xiang Wuqing, relying on the huge investment of Luohua Valley, finally achieved the status of an ancestor. (Sorry! I forgot while writing, is this guy dead?)
For example, Shao Siyuan of the Five Elements Sect, because of a little good relationship with Xiao Mian, was specially taken care of by Xiao Mian, and rose to prominence and successfully condensed his infant.
The entire Nanyue Province has added several Yuanying ancestors, and the results are remarkable.
Even more gratifying is the results of the foundation-building cultivators.
Take the Xuanwei students valued by Xiao Mian as an example. Sixty people entered the Duzun Mansion, not only did no one lose, but all of them condensed their golden elixirs.
Not only that, the golden elixir grades of these golden elixir cultivators are all good.
The lowest is the eighth-grade golden elixir, and the ninth-grade golden elixir is the mainstream. What's more, several of them have formed a super-grade golden elixir!
The cultivation of these people may not be good enough at present, but in time, as long as they are given enough space and time, they will become great!
Another person has also formed a super-grade golden elixir - Fan Jian!
Sensing the rich five-element spiritual energy on Fan Jian, Xiao Mian is quite pleased.
There are surprises and accidents.
What made Xiao Mian vomit blood was that after decades of seclusion and hard practice, Ah Xin and Luo Hou, who he had high hopes for, have not been able to form a elixir successfully!
It's really - hell!
When Xiao Mian personally examined the cultivation of the two, he clearly felt how powerful they were - fighting alone, ordinary Yuanying ancestors could not kill these two freaks!
It seems that the cultivation paths taken by these two people are all different!
Thinking about it more deeply, Xiao Mian was relieved...
For example, Hu Sheng is a pure body cultivator, and his strength cannot be defined by whether he is in the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage.
Although Ah Xin and Luo Hou are not body cultivators, their situations are more special than each other, and they cannot be defined by the concept of ordinary cultivators.
How can we generalize teaching according to students' aptitude?
After this trip to the Du Zun Mansion, the overall strength of Nanyue Province has increased significantly.
Correspondingly, the other four states have also increased.
If we want to say that the force that has benefited the least from the Du Zun Mansion this time is none other than Tiandu City!
From Taixu Zhenren down, the Sanqing Temple was completely wiped out.
More than half of the nine holy places were lost.
The cultivators of Tiandu suffered heavy casualties.
It happened that when Tiandu City was competing for quotas, it paid too much attention to the proportion of the Nascent Soul stage, and did not pay much attention to the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage.
As a result, the performance of the entire Tiandu City was not satisfactory.
Of course, Tiandu City is rich!
Xiao Mian didn't believe that he could suppress Tiandu City and the nine holy places just by this trip to the Duzun Mansion...
No matter what, this trip to the Duzun Mansion was a complete success.
The warning bell rang again, and more and more monks were sent out of the Duzun Mansion.
For them, the trip to the Duzun Mansion was completely over.
But there were also many people who were still staying in the Duzun Mansion.
Using the great power of the warning bell, Xiao Mian teleported all these people to the front of the Wushuang Palace, and at the same time, he also appeared here.
These people were all close friends of Xiao Mian.
If there was any exception, it was the Demon Seal!
His deep eyes swept over everyone, and Xiao Mian was silent for a moment.
Without saying a word, Xiao Mian took out the chessboard from his arms, and in front of everyone, Xiao Mian threw the chessboard into the air, and his mind moved.
The square chessboard began to rotate freely.
With the rhythm of the rotation, the chessboard that was originally integrated was twisted and folded, and in the end, it became a strange geometric body.
Xiao Mian waved his hand and separated dozens of cubes the size of a fingernail from the geometric body, flying in front of everyone present.
No more, no less, one cube for each person!
Everyone looked at these cubes curiously, and Xiao Mian solved the mystery.
"The chessboard in my hand is the key to enter the Du Zun Mansion! After decomposing these cubes, they also have the convenience of entering and exiting the Du Zun Mansion at any time. You are not only my best friends, Xiao Mian, but also the last hope of this world. I hope that after the spiritual battle, you can return it to me in person!"
Although Xiao Mian's words were plain, everyone's expressions were shocked.
The key to enter and exit the Du Zun Mansion!
This is not only a key, but also a retreat, a refuge!
Even a life!
Everyone looked at each other, silently, and put the cube away properly.
"Everyone! For this world! For ourselves! Take care!"
"Take care!"
With a promise, they scattered.
In the huge Du Zun Mansion, only Xiao Mian was left alone.
Of course, there was also Gui Tou, a lonely ghost, accompanying Xiao Mian...
"Are you afraid?"
"..., afraid!"
"You're right to be afraid!" With his hands behind his back, the human-shaped wooden man said with an air of old-fashionedness: "When I volunteered to destroy the rotten stone in your hand alone, I was also afraid, but I still went! Sometimes, the result is really not important..."
"..., um!"
Only in front of Gui Tou, who is both his master and father, will Xiao Mian show his true feelings.
The spiritual war is coming, and the catastrophe is coming. If you say you are not afraid, it would be a lie.
What's more, Xiao Mian is not alone. He has the huge Nanyue Province and even the whole world behind him.
If you are not careful, the world will be in danger!
But so what?
Just like Gui Tou said, sometimes, the result is really not important!
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian adjusted his mentality and planned to leave Du Zun Mansion.
"Ghost Old Man! The Du Zun Mansion cannot afford to fail. I'll trouble you to take charge of it for me!"
"Don't worry! The old man won't die for a while!"
"I'll go!"
"Go!" The little humanoid puppet looked down at Xiao Mian and said softly in a unique gentle tone: "In everything, do your best and leave it to fate. If things can't be done, take a step back, it may not be another situation!"
"I'll remember it, kid!"
Nodding, Xiao Mian walked away.
The Du Zun Mansion was finished. Although the spiritual war has not started yet, it may break out at any time.
At this juncture, all forces in the world dare not act rashly.
Xiao Mian went straight to the Death Sand Island to see the results of the black cloth.
Passing by Huoyun Ridge and stepping across the Northern Wilderness Prairie.
The Death Sand Island is in sight.
From a distance, there is nothing unusual about the Death Sand Island.
That's because the Five Elements Transfer Formation is set up in the deepest part of the Death Sand Island. Ordinary cultivators don't understand why and can't detect the changes inside at all.
Xiao Mian escaped into the ground and sank straight down, nearly a thousand miles away.
Only then did he see a huge formation group, which was a magnificent sight.
With a thought, Xiao Mian summoned Hei Bu.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xiao Mian only felt that Hei Bu had lost weight...
After praising Hei Bu, Xiao Mian asked about the current situation of the formation.
You don't know until you ask, and you'll be shocked when you ask!
Hei Bu actually deployed nearly 400,000 independent five-element shifting formations under the entire Death Sandbar.
These five-element shifting formations, every five of them form a formation group.
And so on, five by five stacked together, and finally, it became a huge monster.
Each five-element shifting formation is shaped like a regular pentagon.
Therefore, when five five-element shifting formations are put together, it is not a simple plane, but a dome like the sky.
Nearly 400,000 five-element teleportation arrays were put together, laying out a teleportation cluster like a net in the depths of the Death Sandbar for nearly a thousand miles!
Only in this way can we sneak into Chencang and steal the sky and change the day!
Xiao Mian's secret alliance with the Ghost Emperor is like taking chestnuts from the fire. Once known by others, it will definitely attract great criticism.
Therefore, everything must be done with great caution!
Now, the five-element teleportation array has been laid out, waiting for the door to the underworld to open!
The door to the underworld cannot be opened at any time.
Otherwise, the Ghost Emperor can invade here at any time?
Only at a certain moment, when the power of the ban is the weakest, can the Ghost Emperor open the door to the underworld in this cultivation world and then invade here.
At this time, the spiritual war breaks out!
Now, all Xiao Mian can do is just one word - wait!
Putting away the black cloth, Xiao Mian withdrew from the Sandbank of Death and returned to Huoyun Ridge.
Besides, the strength of Huoyunling today is no longer what it used to be.
Just talking about the ancestors of Nascent Soul, there are several of them.
Huang Yan, Wen Tianxiu, Rakshasa, Hemerocallis ......
Except for Wan Zongcheng in Nanyue Prefecture, this kind of lineup is not what he wants.
The number of Jindan cultivators below Nascent Soul is even larger.
Not only that, the entire Huoyun Ridge, under the accumulation of Xiao Mian's huge spiritual stones, has become a strong fortress that can cope with the frontal attack of the ancestor of Nascent Soul.
Countless psychic cannons!
Towering protective wall!
The monks in Huoyun Ridge felt extremely safe.
However, Xiao Mian didn’t think so!
While adhering to Huoyun Ridge, Xiao Mian also formulated a detailed and appropriate retreat plan. Xiao Mian even seconded a prefecture-level treasure ship from the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in advance.
Once Huoyun Ridge declines, Xiao Mian doesn't mind running away with his head in his arms!
Seeing that everything in Huoyun Ridge was in order, Xiao Mian felt relieved.
After leaving Huoyun Ridge, Xiao Mian climbed to Biluo Peak.
After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, Xiao Mian started to lift Leng Ningyu's coffin without saying a word!
Once Huoyun Ridge is lost, Biluo Peak will definitely suffer disaster.
Xiao Mian naturally cannot allow Leng Ningyu's body to fall into the hands of the enemy, so there is only one option - calculate defeat before calculating victory!
With everything ready, Xiao Mian descended from Biluo Peak.
The whole world was so peaceful that it was suffocating.
The calm before the storm is probably like this...
Finally, one day, Xiao Mian felt something in his heart.
The next moment, Xiao Mian appeared directly in Duzun Mansion.
One person and one ghost looked at each other, and the two stared at the warning clock closely.
The warning bell is not only the centerpiece of Duzun Mansion, but also an early warning device for spiritual warfare.
The spiritual war breaks out, and the warning bell must change!
Sure enough, within a few moments, the warning bell automatically sounded without any wind.
The solemn bells spread from Duzun Mansion, across the distance of space and time, and resounded throughout the five states and four seas.
The spiritual war catastrophe comes unexpectedly!
The warning bell rings nine times and then stops.
The next moment, the silent warning clock gradually became radiant.
Xiao Mian looked intently and saw a few more stars shining on the warning clock.
Densely packed light spots kept emerging, more and more.
By the end, the entire body of the warning clock was almost completely covered.
Before Xiao Mian could figure out the meaning of these light spots, the warning bell suddenly sounded, and a crack appeared in the originally seamless warning bell.
Shocked, Xiao Mian had nothing to do!
But a black light rushed out of Xiao Mian's body and enveloped the warning bell.
Black cloth!
For some reason, Heibu, who had always been passive, took the initiative this time.
Besides, after being wrapped in black cloth, the warning clock glowed with a burst of black light.
Wherever the black light passed, the crack on the clock gradually disappeared.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief.
After a long time, the black light converged, and the warning clock remained intact. However, there were thousands of extra dots of light on the body of the warning clock.
Some are bigger, some are smaller, some are bright, some are obscure...
Xiao Mian glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness and saw that the number of light spots was around three thousand!
Suddenly, Xiao Mian felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
Before this spiritual battle, Xiao Mian had done a lot of homework.
After all, it has been hundreds of years since the last spiritual war. Except for seniors like Wan Zongsheng who have experienced spiritual war, most of the rising stars in the spiritual world have not personally experienced spiritual war. Many things can only be understood through classics.
As far as Xiao Mian knew, the number of monks involved in spiritual wars and invasions from the spiritual world in the past dynasties was around a thousand.
It was these one thousand people who turned the cultivation world upside down.
Now, looking at the three thousand light spots flickering on the warning clock, Xiao Mian felt bitter in his heart—could these light spots correspond to the monks in the spiritual world, right?
Three thousand points of light, don’t they mean three thousand spiritual practices?
How to fight this battle?
Does the spirit world want to complete its efforts in one battle and completely obliterate this world?
Xiao Mian narrowed his eyes and punched the warning bell.
Feeling powerless, Hei Bu took the opportunity to climb onto Xiao Mian's right hand.
Looking at the black cloth at this time, the one-foot-square spiritual curtain was covered with dense light spots, as if it had just been cut from a warning clock.
With a roll of his eyes, Xiao Mian had a new understanding.
snort!
So what about three thousand spiritual practices?
Big deal - kill them one by one!
Thinking this, Xiao Mian glanced at the black cloth.
The light spots on the black cloth spiritual curtain look chaotic, but they actually hide a mystery.
With this black cloth in hand, Xiao Mian had the upper hand in the ensuing confrontation with the spiritual monks, which at least increased his chances of winning.
After observing the black cloth for a long time, Xiao Mian suddenly focused his eyes.
The next moment, Xiao Mian held the black cloth tightly and disappeared...
