Chapter 148 News
"Fellow Daoist, don't panic. Look, the demonic energy inside is dissipating." Gui Yue, who had just reached the Nascent Soul stage three days prior, raised his hand and patted the Nascent Soul cultivator who was about to call for reinforcements.

The Nascent Soul cultivator was somewhat uneasy. "I'm also worried about my disciples. This formation is too strange. Not only is it only allowed to enter at the early stage of Core Formation, but anyone over thirty-five years old is also not allowed to enter."

Looking across the entire Taiyuan Realm, this group of Core Formation disciples is the youngest and has a promising future.

At that time, the oldest cultivators who entered the secret realm were no more than twenty-five years old. After ten years of cultivation and reaching the Core Formation stage, they would just reach the critical point.

But the young monk Juexing broke the record for the youngest age to form a Golden Core, achieving it at the age of twenty-two. Can you believe it?

It's all thanks to the supernatural powers of Senior Wu Xuanzi.

The little fox king who was standing by didn't care about anything else. She immediately sent a message to Wu Xuanzi, while Chongming flew out from underground to prepare to meet Wu Xuanzi.

But Wu Xuanzi had been observing nearby the whole time. She transmitted her thoughts to everyone present: "They must have fallen into some kind of magical treasure. Let's wait and see."

Where there are immortals, there are demons. Demon cultivators are human, but true demons are not human.

True demons often have horns on their heads, bodies like iron, and human-like appearances. They are more intelligent than the demon race and have made achievements in cultivation techniques such as alchemy, artifact crafting, and talisman arrays, making them no less capable than humans.

The demons that Shen Suiren and the others killed before were all fake demons formed from demonic energy.

But the place they've fallen into is actually inside a demonic artifact, surrounded by thick black mist, severely disrupting their divine senses.

She commanded the strange fire to burn for a while, but the demonic energy would only disperse within a foot in front of her, and the demonic energy would re-accumulate when the fire stopped.

"Niao Niao? Make a sound from somewhere. Jue Xing?"
"Uncle-Master, Senior Sister..." She walked around for a while, but none of her teammates were there.

Just as Shen Suiren was wondering if he was trapped in a trap within a trap, he suddenly heard a series of coughs.

She followed the sound and arrived, her deadly blade ready to strike at any moment. With a slight thought, the strange fire was commanded to fly towards the person or demon she couldn't see clearly.

"At the beginning of the year, it was me."

"Yun Chuan? How did you know it was me?"

"Fire, when you were exterminating the demons before, you didn't hide your extraordinary flames of heaven and earth."

"You've been coughing all this time, haven't you taken the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill?" The moment Shen Suiren got close to him, she swung her knife and slashed.

Jingle
Yun Chuan reacted swiftly, blocking with his sword: "You are being too cautious. I injured my lungs and took a lung-nourishing and qi-regulating pill."

He felt that if he answered a single pill name incorrectly, he would immediately be swallowed up by the menacing strange fire.

"We should be isolated in batches by the demonic energy. Let's look for other fellow cultivators." Shen Suiren glanced at the communication jade again. No one had replied to the message he had just sent, so communication was probably restricted.

Yun Chuan nodded: "I heard your formations are very good. My swordsmanship is also decent. I'll provide flanking protection."

"No need." Shen Suiren didn't need his protection and quickly found the densest black fog.

With a whoosh, she shot several lightning-struck wooden stakes to different locations, instantly forming a Yin-gathering magic array.

"Will it work?" Yun Chuan wasn't sure if the demonic energy could be summoned, but in the blink of an eye, the demonic energy was drawn into the center of the lightning-struck wood. As it swirled and churned within the formation, their surroundings suddenly opened up.

In addition, Shen Suiren set fire to burn away the demonic energy within the formation, and Yun Chuan could clearly see that the area within two or three miles of the two of them was covered by a semi-transparent layer.

It looks like a glacier cracking open, about to break apart but not quite.

Immediately afterwards, he saw several familiar figures flash past behind the crack: "Yaoguang, Lu Fang, and Junior Nephew Ding."

Clang, clang, clang. His spirit sword struck the top, trying to rendezvous with the others, but the people on the other side could neither see them nor hear them.

"I'll imbue your sword with the fire of the elixir." Shen Suiren then imbued the blade of the Deadly Blade with the strange fire and hurled it towards the crack.

With a crack, the crack widened further, and the demonic energy from the other side squeezed in.

She leaped up, slammed the lightning talisman in her hand, and with a boom, a large hole exploded in the crack, shattering the semi-transparent object that had been covering her into pieces.

Yun Chuan was lucky not to be knocked to the ground, but he still had to thank Shen Suiren, because Yao Guang and the other two had already come to join him.

"Bai Yu fell nearby, senior brother, hurry and find her."

“No, it’s too easy to miss her if we search for people in batches one by one.” Lu Fang decisively stood beside Shen Suiren. He owed Sui Chu several favors, especially this time for taking him into the secret place to cultivate ahead of time, allowing him to form his core decades earlier.

Shen Suiren didn't need Yun Chuan as a teammate. He gave Lu Fang a wink, and the two quickly walked in opposite directions.

Yun Chuan stopped Yao Guang from calling for help: "She won't help Bai Yu. Bai Yu obtained the opportunity to cultivate in the Beihai Secret Realm herself from the sect."

When the Shen family nominated someone to learn from Senior Wu, they deliberately avoided choosing Bai Yu.

"Her formation skills are just average, but at least my senior brother mentioned it. Sui Chu is kind-hearted, so maybe he'll agree to go find her first."

"Don't fool yourself, Junior Nephew Ding. Do you even know how to do it at the beginning of the year?"

Junior Nephew Ding was well aware of Uncle Yun Chuan's "rationality," so he didn't reply: "Uncles, if we don't catch up soon, we won't be able to see those two anymore."

Shen Suiren had no desire to team up with them, so she walked very fast, and in no time, she saw two familiar strange flames burst open as the sword crashed through the crack.

"At the beginning of the year." Yao Niaoniao jumped over and gave her a palm strike.

Shen Suiren was overjoyed: "Niao Niao, Jue Xing, Uncle Luo, Nie Chengzhang, Fellow Daoist Qiu, our little team is almost all together now."

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Zhishun stood in front of her face with a sword in his arms: "I'm so big, you can't even see me."

She deliberately left him out, saying, "Senior Brother Cheng, I was just about to speak to you privately. Please ask Fellow Daoist Lu to join the team."

Whether we add them or not, we're all acting together.

"You, if you need something, it's Senior Brother Cheng; if you don't, it's Cheng Zhishun. Humph!" Cheng Zhishun turned and walked away first.

Lu Fang glanced at him: "You want to be the team leader again?"

"Since we've been accustomed to demonic energy since childhood, we should naturally take the lead and clear the way for our teammates."

"What, you don't dare?" Cheng Zhishun used his strange fire to send it forward, burning away a large amount of demonic energy.

Then he turned around and saw his teammates and Yun Chuan and the other two who had come looking at him with surprise.

So he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Even disciples of the Demonic Sect can be righteous and awe-inspiring, like him.

However, Shen Suiren stepped forward and pushed him to turn around. He saw that where the Nine Netherworld Flame had passed, a mirror gradually appeared.

"Is it a magic mirror?" Juexing also ordered his Nanming Fire to burn.

The three strange flames once again unleashed their power, quickly burning away a large area of ​​demonic energy and revealing a mirrored wall.

The group could clearly see that what appeared in the mirror was not them, but several cultivators who were burying demonic corpses in the earth veins.

"These bastards," Cheng Zhishun cursed.

Shen Suiren exchanged a glance with her uncle Luo Ning, then quickly took out a blank animal hide and, with the help of her teammates, marked several places where the body was buried.

The strange flames continued to burn, and soon the mirror expanded, revealing a scorched earth before our eyes.

Lu Fang's eyes widened: "The desolate valley of the Fallen God Sect."

"Look, someone has buried something." Yao Niaoniao even leaned closer to look.

Nie Chengzhang frowned: "A spirit beast egg?"

"No, it was carved from a stone." Shen Suiren had seen it in the Little Dragon King's egg nest.

Then, everyone saw several more buried pebbles.

After calculating the positions, Shen Suiren said, "I didn't remember all the mirror surfaces; there are still two or three egg-shaped stones."

As soon as she finished speaking, the mirror cracked.

"Smash it quickly." She raised her sword and slashed horizontally, while the others swung their weapons wildly. With a crash, the entire mirror disappeared.

The flashes of their swords and blades all struck the cultivator behind the mirror.

Similarly, they were also attacked by the other side, and no one noticed anything unusual; they only felt that they were breaking through the mirror barrier. The two sides were clearly the same group, yet they were locked in a fierce battle in a short time.

"Stop!" Fortunately, a sword slid across Shen Suiren's face, and the cold aura cleared her mind.

Her strange fire protected him, and he flew back to burn the person, causing the person to scream in agony and completely waking her up.

Seeing that everyone was still fighting under the influence of the demons, and that someone was about to die, Shen Suiren gritted her teeth and threw out a high-level ice-sealing talisman.

The attack only froze most of the people; the remaining ones who were missed were still being attacked.

With a pained expression, Shen Suiren threw out a second freezing talisman. The three strange flames quickly hid behind her, not wanting to experience the freezing sensation again.

Perhaps the two Nascent Soul stage ice-sealing talismans were too domineering, causing this space to crack automatically.

Shen Suiren hesitated for a moment, then threw out another Thunderclap Talisman. With a loud bang, the entire space split in front of her.

With a clang, something fell to the ground. Looking down, they saw a bronze mirror inlaid with monsters.

"At the beginning of the year, the talisman is activated." In the two large blocks of ice, someone is always the first to regain consciousness.

Fortunately, although people couldn't move, they could still transmit their thoughts, and since they had escaped the space of the bronze mirror, more people regained consciousness.

"Don't waste those two lumps of ice. Smash them into positions three zhang to your left and four zhang to your left, respectively."

Then use the Thunder Talisman to blast open a space two zhang to your right rear. Now kick the bronze mirror one zhang to your right rear.

"Listen up, you people inside the ice! When the thunder talisman explodes, do not panic and flee. Fly to a position ten feet in front of Sui Chu and use your defensive magic treasures to protect yourselves temporarily." Wu Xuanzi's voice rang out again.

Shen Suiren looked apologetically at the frozen crowd, while simultaneously channeling spiritual energy beneath his feet and kicking the bronze mirror into place.

Everyone heard Senior Wu say that they should be used as magical implements, but at this moment, they have no say in anything.

Because Shen Suiren had already begun to exert her power, her Core Formation stage spiritual energy was enough for her to activate two large blocks of ice.

With two thuds, the ice block was in place.

She said, "Everyone, be careful, it's going to explode."

As soon as she finished speaking, she accurately threw a Thunderclap Talisman at the designated location.

Boom boom boom

Amidst the continuous explosions, she used the tortoise shell given to her by the Little Fox King to protect herself while continuously receiving her fellow cultivators who were flying in.

This is definitely not the power of a single lightning talisman; it must have detonated some kind of array core.

More than thirty people instantly filled the space under the tortoise shell, almost squeezing her to the ground. Only Luo Ning, with quick reflexes, managed to grab her and keep her upright, securing her to the shell.

As for those who didn't manage to get in, they can only try to save themselves.

In the tense moment, the array gate here was breached because one of the array eyes inside was destroyed, leaving a large gap. The cultivators guarding outside rushed in through the gap amidst the continuous explosions, flying to different locations to retrieve the things buried underneath.

After a long while, the roaring stopped, and in the silence, Shen Suiren used his divine sense to slightly open the tortoise shell to peek.

Then he was met with Ah Bai's smiling face: "The formation has been broken, you may leave."

"Phew!" Shen Suiren quickly retracted the tortoise shell, feeling really uncomfortable as his feet were stepped on several times.

Looking at the earth veins beside him now, although some areas were blasted open, they were completely intact and no longer entangled with demonic energy.

The small space was filled with spiritual energy, making one want to sit down and cultivate.

Shen Suiren searched for her grandmaster's figure, but the little fox king grabbed her, saying, "Hurry up and get out."

"There's something to report." She transmitted what she saw in the bronze mirror to her master, who was surveying the depths of the earth's veins, as quickly as possible.

Zhu Kuang nodded: "We'll handle it later."

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul cultivators treasured the cleaned earth veins and herded a group of junior Core Formation cultivators out like ducks.

They will continue to set up protective magic arrays here.

On this side, as soon as Shen Suiren emerged from the ground carrying the little fox king, his master and father came forward to greet them.

Shen Dingru didn't say a word, grabbed his daughter, jumped onto the flying sword, and ran away.

Shen Shuo and Shen Tinglu, who emerged from behind, could only be seen as streaks of light flying away. They were two of the four Core Formation cultivators from the Shen family this time.

The other Shen Baiyu came out with her senior brother Yun Chuan, and she searched everywhere for Shen Suiren's whereabouts.

Shen Shuo chuckled: "Since Sui Chu isn't here, we're going to pay our respects to Ancestor Wu. Are you coming?"

While she was still hesitating, Shen Suiren had already persuaded her father to go to the place where Wu Xuanzi's black coffin stood.

They wouldn't complain, since everyone had survived and was the biggest beneficiary.

Shen Suiren went straight to the point: "Ancestor, look."

She unfolded the hand-drawn arrangement of the pebbles and used her spiritual power to draw the bronze mirror in the air.

Wu Xuanzi sighed, "Breaking the formation and shattering the rocks will allow us to bring back a piece of land."

She was right after all. A few days later, the five divine beasts led the demons to help break the egg stone, and a piece of land slowly flew in from the sky.

The people were overjoyed just a moment ago, but now they were furious, because the land was even more thoroughly deforested than the previous dragon enclave.

The five spirits who followed were greatly disappointed; the land was clearly not one of the two pieces that had disappeared from the spirit realm.

Even if it's just a patch of scorched earth, cultivators from the Taiyuan Realm will painstakingly guide it to a desolate valley, as this is beneficial for achieving the perfection of the Heavenly Dao.

After the land was merged, the monks present were summoned to clean up the scorched earth and some remaining evil spirits.

The little fox king, who loved spirit fruits, was particularly angry. "Don't the people of the spirit realm do anything to protect them?"
At the beginning of the year, the Beihai No. 4 shipwreck cannot be wasted like this.

"Just like the Dragon King, we set a rule that we must replant after the harvest."

"Any monster that is guarded by a single individual must be kept alive as long as its offspring can be preserved." Shen Suiren had no other choice.

She can't possibly run around replanting spirit seedlings every time the area opens; she doesn't have the time or the selflessness to do so.

As the two were talking, their master sent word: "Someone has discovered Lianqiao's whereabouts."

"Where is it? I'm coming right away." Shen Suiren, who was bored while turning over the soil, suddenly perked up and couldn't wait to share the good news with his father.

Situ Shiyuan was also setting off from the sect to "Dafo Temple".

In short, the number of people repairing the land here was not small. After reporting to her grandmaster, she and her father set off for the Great Buddha Temple via the teleportation array.

The people of the Fallen God Sect saw them leave quietly and reported to their sect leader whether they should follow.

In recent years, this sect leader has been overwhelmed by internal strife. The Corpse Sect, which he annexed, is plotting a rebellion. They fight over everything, and if he doesn't give them power, they'll leave the sect.

But he could never catch the mischievous Corpse King. "If you're not afraid of death, then go after him."

The fearful cultivators of the Fallen God Sect immediately abandoned their idea.

However, the five spirit gods of the spirit realm followed the same path as Shen Suiren, generously lending their flying boats to travel together when there was no teleportation array connecting them.

She politely declined, but continued to communicate with her master.

It is said that Lianqiao hid for ten years, and during that time, there were people who went to the mortal world to look for her.

But this time she was too patient and simply disappeared.

"Now we have learned from the sparrow that Lianqiao was sent by the Sparrow King of the Great Wilderness Realm."

"Even the True Lord of Strings must find her and find out if his daughter is alive or dead." Situ Shiyuan has been keeping a close eye on this matter.
