Pagoda Immortality

Hou Ji and the mysterious old man talked about the past.

Lu Li and Long Shihu couldn't get in the conversation and could only listen quietly.

From the few words exchanged between the two of them, it was not difficult for Lu Li to analyze.

This weird old man with a single horn on his head and a python tail had once been to Liuyun Cave and had dealings with Hou Ji.

The main reason why he came here was because after the Demon Extermination War, the seven major sects began to eliminate dissidents. The old man was so disheartened that he directly left the fairy world and came here.

Then he took over the mountain and became the king, occupying the black bamboo forest.

At that time, the Mozhu Forest was not well-known except for its size.

Because this old man liked to study monsters, he caught a large number of wild monster cubs from afar and cultivated them in the black bamboo forest, trying to cultivate monster hearts suitable for emperor-level cultivation.

It can be seen from this that this old man turned out to be a demon emperor level powerhouse, which is really shocking.

But it's a pity that after so many years, the barbarian monsters here have only grown to the senior level at most.

And after reaching the senior level, the barbarian demon is no longer as reckless as before. He has a little bit of wisdom and always wants to escape from the black bamboo forest.

When the old man saw this, he set up a large formation in the black bamboo forest and sealed all the wild monsters inside.

This is the main reason why the wild monsters cannot escape here. It is not to save the lives of the monster cultivators outside.

The reason why outside demon cultivators are not prohibited from coming in for training is mainly because the wild demons want to grow, and the resources of Black Bamboo Forest alone are not enough. They need a lot of blood food.

Therefore, the old man even made up some lies, saying that the black bamboo forest is full of resources...

Over time, everyone believed it to be true, and there was an endless stream of people coming to experience it.

However, in the end, most of the demon cultivators became the blood prey of these barbaric demons.

However, the old man saw that these wild monsters were growing very slowly, and he gradually lost interest.

Then he stopped trying to manage and began a long slumber.

And this strange-looking old man is the ‘holy beast’ Wu Yu mentioned that had disappeared for many years.

Until recently, the old man suddenly felt a familiar breath approaching, and then he woke up in shock and walked out of this secret realm.

Then, he saw the scene of Lu Li and his party being chased by Mo Jiao.

"I went to Liuyun Cave after the war, but unfortunately the entrance was sealed. How did you get out? Has the seal been lifted? Is Brother Ruyun still alive now?" The old man looked at Hou Ji and asked one after another. Two questions came up, and his cloudy eyes were filled with anticipation.

"The seal of Liuyun Cave is indeed loose, but old man Ruyun is dead. Not only old man Ruyun, but also his disciples and grandchildren, and even the entire Liuyun Sect are dead. Only I am buried deep underground and can escape. A calamity..." Hou Ji shook his head and said with a lonely expression.

"Is he dead..."

Old Yujiao's body trembled slightly, and the hand holding the jade cup couldn't help but tremble.

Then he sighed softly: "I should have thought of it a long time ago. There is an entrance to the demon world on the seventh floor of Liuyun Sect. If the demons invade, how can Liuyun Sect be spared... He is just too stubborn. So what if he wins? Lingxiao Tianxia , what is the difference between the seven sects in the world and even the demon clan..."

Hou Ji was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "You haven't told me yet, how did you become like this? You are not a monster, how did you make yourself look so different?"

Not a demon clan?

Hearing this, Lu Li and Long Shihu were stunned.

They thought that the one-horned old man himself was the body of a monster.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

The old man smiled when he heard this, "Since you are here, you should understand that humans cannot enter the demon world passage, right?"

Hou Ji looked at the old man and said nothing.

The old man continued: "It just so happens that I like studying monsters by nature. In order to be able to come to the monster world, I specially modified my body."

"I collect all kinds of monsters with powerful bloodlines everywhere, and take their essences, such as eyes, tails, or horns, to install them on my body. I even fused some of the blood of monsters with my blood... …”

"In the end, I became what I am now. I have to say that the demon clan still has many unique features. Although my current body looks weird and ugly, its functions are very powerful and its combat power is higher than before. Quite a few..."

As he spoke, the scaly python tail on his back was gently lifted, rolled up to his cheek, and he gently touched his old face with an expression of enjoyment: "Look, he can control it easily..."

When Lu Li saw this, he couldn't help but feel a chill. It was hard for him to understand why a good person would change himself into something different.

Monsters and monsters are all proud of their ability to transform into human beings, but he just made himself look like a human being or a ghost.

Hou Ji was also speechless: "You are really hopeless."

The old man smiled and said, "If you don't talk about it anymore, you won't understand it even if you do."

He looked at Lu Li and said with great interest: "This little friend, you are very extraordinary? I feel that you have the aura of a black turtle on your body, but you can exert the power of space. What race are you?"

The reason why he could tell the aura on Lu Li's body at once was mainly because he had seen the Four Sacred Beasts with his own eyes.

The aura on Lu Li's body now was somewhat similar to that of Xuanwu back then.

But according to his understanding, although Xuanwu is known as a holy beast, its five elements lack fire.

But this guy in front of him is able to use the laws of space, which is really weird.

Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "I'm just like the seniors. Actually, I'm not a monster."

"oh?"

"I accidentally got a drop of the blood of the demon clan. After sucking it into my dantian, I can enter the demon world normally." Lu Li said vaguely, half truthfully.

"So that's it! My little friend is really lucky to have such an opportunity." The old man suddenly realized that he did not delve into the origin of Lu Li's hard work.

After a pause, his eyes flickered and he said: "Why did you come to the demon world? Are you forced to have no choice?"

Lu Li knew as soon as he heard that the other party was testing him.

This old man has deep resentment towards the seven major sects, and he has shown the power of space. Perhaps the other party subjectively believes that with his talent, he should be a disciple of the seven major sects.

At this moment, if I say the wrong thing again, I'm sure he will fall out on the spot.

Fortunately, he has no connection with the seven major sects.

Hearing this, he said very naturally: "Yes, the seven major sects cannot allow outside geniuses to succeed. It just so happens that I don't know how to advance or retreat. I took the first place in this year's Golden Immortal Ranking and was wanted by them everywhere. In desperation, I had no choice but to move forward. I came to the demon world to avoid trouble..."

After hearing this, the old man's expression softened and he nodded slightly: "The seven major sects are indeed the same seven major sects as before. What they did is really chilling."

After thinking for a while, he said: "But don't worry, no one can bully you when you get here. You and I are both human beings, so it's fate. I will protect you from now on."

Lu Li was overjoyed when he heard this, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior, for taking care of me!"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "You're welcome. Whether it's for the sake of the human race or the monkey, this is all natural..."

Although he has now made himself neither human nor demon, deep down in his heart, he still thinks that he is a human race, not a demon race.

Hou Ji grinned when he heard this and gave a thumbs up to the old man: "Old man, that's interesting!"

The old man laughed, raised his glass and said: "Come on, it's rare to meet a real human race, and meet old friends, let's have a drink!"

Seeing this, Lu Li and others immediately raised their glasses to greet him.

However, the drink was too strong and Lu Li did not dare to drink more, so he just took a sip.

The old man gently put down the jade cup, stared at Lu Li, his eyes lit up slightly and said, "Little friend, I have an idea, why don't you think about it...?"
