Forced to copy books and learn secretly, I became the favorite of the immortal world

Chapter 151 The Origin of the Black Mist

In the water curtain, the black mist has condensed into shape, and huge black claws are extending from the cracks, tearing the ground apart. Just by looking at the solid black mist in the water curtain, one can feel the pressure brought by this evil spirit, and the formation supported by the disciples is about to break.

"Quick, let's go in and rescue them"

The five major sects in the Southern Region also arrived at the Tianqiong Mountains with their elders.

Xie Yunhuan, Jiang Guiyue and others led the elders to the Sky Mountain Range. They just flew into the air.

A sword energy flashed in front of them, blocking their way.

"Stop it all!"

There was a turbulence of spiritual energy in the void. Chenxu of Taiyuan Sect, Lieyang of Chixiao Sect, and the four ancestors of the sect alliance who were in seclusion, Tianshu, Yuanheng, Danyang, and Guangming, tore through the void at the same time and stepped into the air.

The solemn and majestic voice forced Xie Yunhuan and his companions to retreat.

“This crack contains evil energy from the Nine Netherworlds. Once this formation of the heavens is destroyed and the evil fog spreads out, can you take on this responsibility?” Chen Xu glared at everyone present.

"Why don't you follow me and reinforce this formation?"

"What"

The people from various sects waiting in the Sky Mountains were all shocked by these words. They had never thought that the legendary Nine Netherworld was real. The classics of all the major sects had records about the Nine Netherworld. But they thought it only existed in legends.

This was thousands of years ago. No one knows where it started, but the demons used the Soul-Devouring Formation to guide the Nine Nether Demonic Qi into the world of immortals. From then on, the earth cracked, and countless Nine Nether Demonic Qi drilled out from the cracks in the ground, like a call from hell.

They used the Nine Nether Evil Qi to pollute the entire Xiuxian world, attempting to annex it. In order to maintain peace, the Xiuxian world launched an ancient war. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators rushed to the battlefield to fight the demons. The Nine Nether Evil Qi was sealed with the Heavenly Demon Sealing Array.

The demons were driven back to the demon world and the realm was sealed again. However, the Nine Nether Demon Qi was still wreaking havoc in the immortal world, and countless cultivators were contaminated by the black mist.

Finally, tens of thousands of people set up a great formation of heaven and earth, and with great sacrifice, sealed the crack leading to the Nine Netherworld, thus preserving the world of immortal cultivation and allowing it to recuperate until now. This is also the reason why the world of immortal cultivation cannot ascend to heaven now. The inheritance of the world of immortal cultivation was cut off by the war, and the cultivation techniques above the Refining Void Stage were missing. The ladder to immortality was also broken from then on. After the war, no cultivators ascended to the upper realms.

Now, suddenly hearing about the legendary Nine Nether Demonic Qi, it suddenly appeared again, and everyone was panicked. Thousands of years ago, there was abundant spiritual energy and many high-level cultivators, but it took a very tragic price to suppress the spread of this evil energy. Nowadays, there is a lack of talents, so what can we use to resist this evil energy. In addition to this shock, I was even more shocked by the indifference of the ancestors to the younger generation. This means that these younger generations are going to be sacrificed. Not to mention asking them to reinforce this formation, even if they don't take action, these Yuanying and Jindan disciples can't break free from this formation. The only result is to be swallowed by the black fog.

For a moment, no one knew what to do.

Xie Yunhuan clenched his fists. He didn't care about the Nine Nether Black Mist. He only knew that his own disciples and his children were still inside. He drew his sword and rushed in.

Zhu Fengqi, the leader of the Chixiao Sect, also followed Old Man Xie to rescue people. In the twenty years of Tianqi, he lost his eldest disciple whom he had raised since childhood. The incident happened suddenly, but it was different now. There was still a chance to save him. He couldn't understand the thoughts of the ancestors.

The domineering sword energy slashed from behind them, showing no mercy, and even had the intention of taking their lives. Being hit by the sword energy, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Jiang Guiyue stepped forward with his sword to block, "Grandmaster, what do you mean?"

He could no longer understand what their ancestor was doing. A dignified ancestor in the Void Refining Stage actually attacked someone from behind. Was this still the bearing that a high-level cultivator should have? Taiyuan Sect was now in a mess because of him, and the disciples were fighting like black chickens every day.

Zhu Fengqi also immediately protected Xie Yunhuan. He frowned and questioned the ancestor of their Chixiao Sect.
"Ancestor, what do you mean by this?" He said angrily, pointing at the nearly one hundred disciples in the water curtain:
"All of these people are disciples of our sect. Are you going to cut off the inheritance of our sect?"

In the water curtain, the black mist in the cracks was still solidifying. It was just a claw just now, but now half of its face could be seen clearly. This monster was so strange that it looked like a collection of all monsters. The black mist condensed into black armor plates, and its face was blurred. Its body twisted and climbed in the cracks. Just wait a moment, and you can climb out from the depths of hell.

"How dare you! How can a few juniors be considered as the inheritance of the sect? As long as we old guys are still here, we can train new disciples. But this formation of the heavens must not be broken."

When everyone at the scene heard this, they all took a deep breath.
They all looked at Chenxu Patriarch in disbelief. What did he mean by that? Your lives are lives, but ours are not lives. A chill ran down my spine. These ancestors enjoyed the highest offerings from the sect, but in their eyes, the people in their sect were just ants? Slaves? Renewable resources?
They looked at the ancestor standing in front of them in astonishment, as if they didn't recognize him. They all took a step back.
"Shut up, everyone." The leader of the sect alliance, Elder Yunyin, walked out from behind the four ancestors.

"Chen Xu, if you can't talk, just keep quiet."

Yunyin stood in front of Chenxu and waved his majestic voice away.
"It's not that we are indifferent to the danger, but this matter is of great importance. We are responsible for the safety of the entire cultivation world, not the lives of a few young people."

"Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to hide. I will tell you. This matter started from the incident of the Immortal Ascension Tower a hundred years ago. I believe everyone is aware that the path to ascension in the world of immortal cultivation has been cut off. When the Immortal Ascension Tower appeared, we thought it was a chance to ascend, but who would have thought that this tower was the core of the formation that suppressed the Nine Nether Black Mist. The core of the formation was passive, and the black fog spread."

"We set up the formation in time. Although it temporarily suppressed the spread of the black fog, it did not completely solve the problem. For so many years, several of us old guys have been working together to guard the formation of the Ascension Tower."

"A few years ago, the same cracks appeared in the Sky Dome Mountains, and a large amount of black fog was generated. We tried every possible way to set up this Heavenly Array to suppress the spread of the black fog, but some of the overflowing black fog still spread out and contaminated a group of monsters, causing some of them to become demonized."
