Celestial being

Three months later.

In the Shura Palace, Yuan Ming sat cross-legged, quickly pinching the magic formula with the ten fingers of his hands, and shot the magic formula one after another towards the Shura Blood-devouring Diagram suspended in mid-air.

Blood flowed on the surface of the Shura Blood-devouring Diagram, swallowing Master Shura's corpse bit by bit.

"If you want to absorb the demonic energy into your body, you need to use the demonic refining array. It is a shortcut created by our demon clan, which can better guide the demonic energy into the body's acupoints." Qiye's voice sounded in Yuan Ming's sea of ​​consciousness. .

"How to set up the magic refining array, and what special spiritual materials are needed?" Yuan Ming asked.

"The complete demon refining array naturally lacks some spiritual materials, but after I slightly modified it, I can barely use it. Before that, there are still some things I need to tell you in advance." Qiye said.

"Please enlighten me." Yuan Ming said.

"Although Yuan Daoyou has entered the hall and achieved the body of the body in the body cultivation, the body of the human race is different from that of the demon race, so introducing the demonic energy into the body is equivalent to feeding the body with strong medicine. If you can successfully survive, the demon race will The fusion of Qi and flesh and blood can greatly increase the strength of your body. At that time, you can use the Demon Elephant Prison Suppressing Technique to refine your essence and blood to improve your cultivation. But if you cannot support it, your body will collapse. Destruction, the fate of the soul turning into a demon." Qiye said in a solemn tone.

"You have told me this once before, and I know it very well." Yuan Ming nodded.

"Well, now that you have made up your mind, I won't say any more. Remember, once the demon refining array is activated, it cannot be stopped. It must be completely completed before it can be stopped. And when the demonic energy is infected, it is not just As much as you are physically tortured, your soul will also be invaded by demonic energy. If you fail at any of the two difficulties, your end will be miserable." Qiye continued.

Yuan Ming listened quietly and said nothing.

He has already set up a defensive array outside, and King Kong and Huazhi are also outside to help him protect the law. If no strong man in the Void Return Stage appears, his practice will definitely not be interrupted.

The biggest risk this time is whether he can withstand it.

"After entering this formation, you must stand on the ground and always keep your head upright. Do not move too much. It will disturb the path of the demonic energy entering the body, which will only make you suffer more." Qiye warned.

"Don't worry, I've written it all down." Yuan Ming nodded in agreement and began to arrange the magic circle according to Qiye's instructions.

Not long after, a magic circle about three to four feet in size, which looked like a six-pointed star, appeared in the open space in front of Yuan Ming, flashing with a black halo that flickered on and off.

"If you are well prepared, then enter the formation, and you will be blessed after that." Qiye briefly inspected the formation set up by Yuan Ming, and said when he saw that there was no problem.

Yuan Ming walked into the center of the magic circle without any hesitation.

Following Qiye's instructions, he did not cross his legs as usual, but held the element in front of him with both hands and stood upright in the center.

"When you release the demonic energy in Wanjiangtu, the formation will move on its own." Qiye's voice sounded again.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming raised one hand.

The red scroll immediately flew out of his sleeves and slowly unfolded in front of him.

"open."

Following Yuan Ming's soft drink, the center of the ancient scroll immediately lit up, and a reversal vortex emerged from it.

At the same time, the wind and clouds surged inside the scroll, and the dark clouds in the sky stirred up and spewed out crazily from the vortex.

Cloud-like demonic energy escaped in all directions, but it was blocked by the runic arrays carved on the surrounding walls, and not a single bit was leaked out.

And as the demonic energy gradually filled the entire secret room, the demon refining array arranged on the ground immediately began to operate.

The light suddenly brightened on the ground, and dark purple runes intertwined and connected in mid-air, shrouding Yuan Ming's figure. The demonic energy floating in the secret room was suddenly drawn, and they settled towards the ground, falling on the magic In the formation.

A black light shot up into the sky, and black chains appeared out of thin air in all directions of the formation.

The black chain was as thick as a child's arm, with a sharp pyramid tip at the top. The whole body was glowing like black crystal, with a layer of mysterious purple patterns attached to it.

Before Yuan Ming could react, a sound of "canglanglang" was heard, and the chains shot straight out and stabbed towards his body.

Yuan Ming subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but thinking of Qiye's warning, he stuck to the spot like a javelin, motionless.

The next moment, his hands and feet were pierced by the sharp awl at the top of the chain.

The sharp pain was accompanied by a burning sensation, which made Yuan Ming's mind suddenly tighten and his body could not help but tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a pulling force came from both arms, and he felt the chains piercing his palms tightening, pulling his arms up from his sides irresistibly.

Yuan Ming clenched his teeth, and just as he got used to the pain in his hands and feet, seven chains shot out from his back in succession, piercing seven major acupoints including Yangguan, Mingmen, Lingtai, and Shinto along his spine.

A sharp pain that went straight into his brain made Yuan Ming almost lose control. His lips trembled and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth involuntarily.

This time, before he could adapt, a chain had already penetrated the back of his head.

However, he did not feel any pain from the back of his head. Instead, a violent storm was set off in the sea of ​​consciousness, and an indescribable force directly penetrated into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Yuan Ming suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a hammer, his vision suddenly went dark, and a severe dizziness hit him, making him almost unable to hold on and fall down.

But fortunately, his soul was strong enough, and soon the power of the soul began to circulate, calming the feeling of chaos.

In just a moment, Yuan Ming's mind immediately returned to clarity, but his perception of the severe pain in his body also became clearer.

He did not hesitate, and with a thought, he activated the demon refining array according to the method taught by Qiye.

There was a soft sound of "hoo".

The demonic energy accumulated on the ground was pulled, and immediately turned into a trickle, entangled the chains, climbed up, and penetrated into Yuan Ming's body.

After a while, Yuan Ming felt that some demonic energy began to penetrate into some of the acupoints on his body, and an unspeakable feeling of bloating came from those acupoints.

The mana and demonic energy originally contained in the acupoints clashed, and the two immediately clashed.

In an instant, dozens of acupuncture points on Yuan Ming's body turned into dozens of hidden battlefields. The fierce collision of the two forces directly acted on the acupoints, bringing unprecedented intense stimulation.

Yuan Ming felt as if there were bites from hundreds of ants on his body, which was sore, numb, swollen and painful. The feeling was simply worse than having him chopped alive.

As the demonic energy continued to pour in, more and more acupoints became battlefields.

Yuan Ming's face showed a look of pain, but demonic energy continued to flow in and out of his body, intertwined with the magic power around him, but his body remained upright and motionless.

Not long after, his mouth was full of blood, veins popped out on his head, and cold sweat was pouring down like rain. However, he relied on his extremely strong perseverance to hold on without wavering.

This process is just the starting point for the integration of the physical body and the demonic energy, and the pain Yuan Ming has to endure has just begun.

…

Da Jin, Yuhua City.

The Central Plains is a vast land, and there are countless Xiuxianfang cities hidden among famous mountains and rivers, but no matter where they are, there are a large number of mortals living there, doing chores and other tasks.

Only Yuhua City is the only city under the rule of Changchun Guan that allows outsiders to enter. Both young and old in the city have cultivation skills. It can be said to be a real fairy city, unstained by the world.

Naturally, Yuhua City has also become the designated place for alliance gatherings by Changchun Temple. This city, which was already crowded with cultivators, is now welcoming visitors from all over the world.

Although the invasion of Wu Yue Sect cast a thick shadow over this event, the Central Plains monks walking in the streets did not show much concern.

The Central Plains has been in peace for a long time, and the tragic situation caused by the raging Wuyue Sect has long been recorded in books without a trace of emotion. Moreover, in the eyes of these Central Plains monks, the so-called Wuyue Sect is just a defeated general of Changchun Guan. Resurrection is just a clown, and sooner or later it will be defeated by Changchun Guan again.

Even though some monks from the East China Sea described to these people the terror and ferocity of the Wuyue Sect, they were not as empathetic as facing the flames of war.

Driven by this mentality, the atmosphere in the entire Yuhua City was high and enthusiastic, and everyone was preparing for the upcoming alliance.

In a large hall in the south of Yuhua City, dozens of Changchun Temple disciples were coming and going, processing documents related to the alliance all the time.

"Senior Aunt Lou, the welcoming disciples are here to report that the guests from Pansi Island in southern Xinjiang have passed by the sentry point and will arrive at Yuhua City in two hours." The Qi Refining disciple in charge of contact hurried over and handed over the jade slip in his hand. Passed it to Loulan.

Loulan, the daughter of the former Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, has not changed much from her original appearance, but her cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building.

Not long after Liu Tianming stepped down from the throne and worshiped in Changchun Temple, he became a Taoist couple with her. Unfortunately, Yuan Ming was hiding outside due to pressure from Changchun Temple and was unable to attend the ceremony in person. He could only send a letter from Xiaohu City to commemorate the ceremony. congratulate.

Although she had regrets, Loulan also understood Yuan Ming's difficulties and had no grudges in her heart.

A few years ago, Yuan Ming returned to Qu Jiang and met Liu Tianming again. Loulan later learned about the situation from Liu Tianming. She was pleasantly surprised that Yuan Ming was promoted to Jiedan, and was worried about his situation, but she was single. Being weak, there is nothing you can do.

Then, perhaps stimulated by Yuan Ming, Liu Tianming left the sect and went out to look for opportunities to form an elixir. After successfully forming an elixir, he sent a message to the sect, saying that he had discovered a secret realm suitable for retreat and cultivation. There has been no news since then.

However, before leaving, Lou Lan specially refined a pair of Tongxin Jade for Liu Tianming and carried each of them with him, so that he could know whether the other was safe. Now that the Tongxin Jade was safe and sound, Liu Tianming was naturally worry-free.
