Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 215 The Era of Great Changes in the Magical Path
"What's worrying Dou Lang?"

Suddenly a voice came into Dou Eqing's mind.

"Qiniang?"

He shouted subconsciously.

That voice was indeed Feng Qinniang's voice.

"Dou Lang, it's me."

This time the sound came from inside the snake egg and reached Dou Eqing's ears directly.

Although Feng Qinniang's heads had all transformed before, she didn't like to speak human language, so Dou Eqing had never heard her speak. Even the emotional interaction between the two of them, except for breathing, was communicated through spiritual thoughts.

This voice was slightly different from the one he heard in his mind, or rather, it gave Dou Eqing a different feeling.

This voice gave Dou Eqing an intuitive sense of familiarity because it completed the emotional connection through hearing.

"Is Qi Niang still at the sixth level of cultivation? Is she about to come out?"

Dou Eqing asked with concern.

He was not thanking Feng Qiniang, but was concerned about her. If she came out of the snake egg and reached the sixth level of cultivation, he would have to quickly put the snake egg outside the Ziwei Immortal Mansion to prevent her, a sixth-level combat power, from being lost.

He has Yu Fengxian, a sixth-level fighter, by his side, and he urgently needs Feng Qiniang, a sixth-level fighter, to balance him.

This was his instinctive self-rescue action in response to the "Guarding Yin and Taking Yang" Sutra.

Although Yu Fengxian practiced the "Shou Yin Receive Yang Sutra" herself, she did not fully understand the essence of this technique.

Moreover, she was the one who benefited from practicing the "Shou Yin Receive Yang Jing", while the disadvantage was on Dou Eqing. She could not feel it and did not know the potential impact on Dou Eqing.

On the contrary, Dou Eqing's affection for her grew day by day as he practiced the "Shou Yin Na Yang Jing", which Yu Fengxian thought was a good thing.

"Dou Lang, he has transformed now, you should say he is in the Void Refining Stage."

Feng Qinniang corrected in a soft voice.

"I am currently in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, but I will not be able to be born until I reach the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, or even the peak."

She continued dejectedly.

It was obvious that she was looking forward to coming out and meeting Dou Eqing as soon as possible, and was eager to be with him.

Dou Eqing felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

He asked hurriedly:
"why is that?"

"Didn't Dou Lang find a powerful person to sacrifice to help me? This powerful person allowed me to borrow the inheritance of Senior Lou Lansha to activate my bloodline and return to my ancestral home.

The return of my ancestral bloodline allowed me to possess a spiritual body and become a spirit, but the return of my ancestral bloodline takes a very long time."

Feng Qinniang explained the reason to Dou Eqing in detail.

"how long?"

"Maybe three thousand years."

"So long!"

"It's okay, I'll be fine after a good sleep... Oh no, I'm sleepy, I'm about to fall asleep..."

"What's going on? Speak!"

Dou Eqing didn't get a response from Feng Qinnan for a long time, and Shedan also seemed to have become quiet.

He also wanted to ask if there was any way to shorten the time.

A lot of doubts weighed on his mind, and he had no idea where to find the answers.

Now that Xu Ci is gone, Feng Qinniang has to wait for three thousand years. The good times like before when she could borrow strength from Xu Ci and increase her combat power to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm are gone forever.

Dou Eqing realized this at the first moment and warned himself to pay attention to this in the future, not to take risks again, and to solidly train his real combat power.

"It seems I need to develop the memory of Kuan Hai's integration."

He thought about it and found a way to quickly improve his current combat effectiveness.

Just as Xiao Yuzhu came, Yu Fengxian from the outside world informed Dou Eqing that he had arrived at Hezong.

"I'll go back to the sect and take a look first."

He quickly said hello to Xiao Yuzhu and left Ziwei Immortal Mansion, fearing that Xiao Yuzhu would also want to follow him out.

It is not a good idea for Xiao Yuzhu to appear in front of Yu Fengxian at the moment, in case something goes wrong.

"I'm still late."

When Yu Fengxian saw Dou Eqing appear, she sighed softly.

The two of them were hovering a thousand meters in the air, with Canglong Mountain, where Hezong was located, beneath their feet.

Dou Eqing glanced at her, turned his head and wanted to look down, but found a huge monster in his sight.

The clouds ahead were torn open by sharp claws, and the monster's red mane surged like magma in the strong wind.

He knew that this was the demon goblin that Guo Jia had taken over.

The demon goblin's twisted limbs stretched out across the rugged rocks, its blue-gray skin was covered with scales with dark gold patterns, and faint blue phosphorescent light seeped out of every gap in the armor.

When it raised its head, the six spiral horns on its forehead pierced the sky, and the spiritual ropes wrapped around them suddenly burst out with scarlet light, dyeing the clouds within a hundred miles into a bloody mist.

The spiritual rope was obviously left behind by the fifth-level spiritual talisman attack when other cultivators of the Hezong were fighting against it.

The demon goblin's eyes were like copper bells, with two balls of molten gold embedded in their eye sockets, and star-like points like obsidian fragments were surging in the depths of its pupils.

Every time it rolled its eyes, sulfurous flames rose from the curly golden eyebrows surrounding its eye sockets, scorching the air and making it crackle. Eight deep purple wrinkles split open on either side of its collapsed nose, and with each breath it exhaled a blend of frost, snow, and sparks. The falling sparks instantly exploded into a ten-foot-deep crater upon impact with the mountain.

A giant palm covered with bronze keratin gripped the mountaintop, and as its sharp claws dug deeply into the basalt, the entire mountain trembled with a mournful wail.

The protruding bone spurs on its back pierced through the clouds. At the end of each spike hung a dried skull of a monster, which was now playing a shrill bone flute with the mountain wind.

When the demon goblin bent his knees and half-knelt, the thousand-year-old black iron chain hanging from his waist hit the cliff, and the sparks condensed into a ghost face totem in mid-air.

The thousand-year-old black iron chain came from the Hezong's protective formation, but now it has no binding force on the demon goblin.

On the one hand, there is no strong person to preside over the sect protection formation; on the other hand, the formation has been broken and its effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

The cold pool in Canglongjian suddenly boiled, and the water surface reflected the third vertical pupil that was faintly visible among the mane on the back of its neck - the deep purple eye was always closed, but whenever the demon goblin growled, the spell on the surface of the vertical pupil would flow with a dark red luster.

"Roar!"

The demon goblin roared, and with its huge arms and palms, it slapped Dou Eqing and the other man.

It seems that Guo Jia has lost his mind and doesn't even recognize Dou Eqing.

However, because of the Demon Slave Seal, the Demon Goblin instinctively did not attack Dou Eqing, but instead aimed his attack at Yu Fengxian who was in the Void Refinement Realm.

In fact, Dou Eqing only needed to use the slave control technique corresponding to the Demon Slave Seal to control the Demon Xiao, but he wanted to see the combat power of the Demon Xiao at this time, and let it fight with Yu Fengxian, a powerful cultivator of the Void Refining Realm.

"You don't know what you can do!"

Yu Fengxian let out a delicate snort, and suddenly a giant palm larger than the demon goblin appeared in front of her and slapped it.

In the blink of an eye, the demon goblin returned to Guo Jia's appearance, and the individual also returned to being a normal person.

So, Dou Eqing and Yu Fengxian flew into the Hezong Mountain Gate of Canglong Mountain together.

Yu Fengxian wanted to attack again, intending to kill Guo Jia in one fell swoop, but fortunately Dou Eqing intercepted her in time.

"Wait a minute!"

Guo Jia felt as if he was being stared at by the god of death, and that he would die in the next moment. However, he didn't care about anything else and knelt down before Dou Eqing.

"Master, I have failed to live up to your trust."

In fact, he wanted to die.

Now that the Hezong was destroyed by him, he not only felt guilty towards Dou Eqing, but he also had deep feelings for the Hezong.

Although the development and growth of Hezong was inseparable from Dou Eqing's contribution, it was Guo Jia who personally worked to strengthen Hezong.

Although Guo Jia took over the body of the demon goblin, he did not practice the magic way, and was not as cold and ruthless as other demon practitioners.

Dou Eqing sensed Wu Ni's presence through the Demon Slave Seal on her body. He explored Guo Jia's consciousness from multiple angles and combined it with Kuanhai's memory to discover something strange about Guo Jia.

Now Guo Jia and Hua Bubai are a bit similar. After the other cultivators of the Hezong were infected by the evil cultivator, it was equivalent to becoming one with the evil goblin.

The demon goblin originally wanted to use the power of all the cultivators in the combined sect to break through to the fifth level of perfection in one fell swoop, so he merged all of them into one and made them his Taoist body.

However, Guo Jia only obtained the body of a demon goblin by taking over another's body. He was not a real demon goblin, which led to his failure in breaking through.

Therefore, although the other cultivators of the Hezong sect seem to have merged into one with the demon goblin's body, many of them still have their independence.

It’s just that his strength is too weak to separate from the Dao body.

Dou Eqing understood this and said to Guo Jia:

"Misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often come with misfortunes. The other people in the sect have simply merged with you. As long as you completely control the body of the demon goblin, they can return."

"Really?"

"Of course, your growth can also help improve their cultivation."

Dou Eqing said this as he threw a storage ring to Guo Jia, which contained valuable fifth-level cultivation resources.

"You should find a place to practice. Once you have achieved success, you can release them."

He then sent Guo Jia away. Yu Fengxian had many questions to ask him.

"How could you see something that I didn't even notice?"

"I still have people in the sect."

Dou Eqing replied without hesitation.

"What?"

"Oh, this has to start with the Demon Slave Seal. Guo Jia is my disciple, but I also planted the Demon Slave Seal on him. I also planted the Demon Slave Seal on several other people in the sect..."

Dou Eqing then explained his findings in detail.

"Can you plant the Demon Slave Seal?"

Yu Fengxian felt it was a little unbelievable when she heard that Dou Eqing could plant the Demon Slave Seal.

"I can't explain this, but it works anyway."

Naturally, he would not reveal the matter of the Infinite Merit Pearl and Kuanhai.

"Let's not talk about that. It would be great if the demon Xiao can restore the others. If not, I advise you to gather several branch sects to rebuild the unified sect as soon as possible."

Yu Fengxian didn't plan to pry too much into Dou Eqing's secrets, for fear that she would find out things that were not convenient for her to ask at the moment and cause a rift between the two of them.

"why is that?"

Dou Eqing knew that the other party had something else to say, so he asked in cooperation.

"My purpose in coming to see you is to help you improve yourself and make great progress in the next round of the power elimination competition. I want to seize the opportunity to catch up with Yin Shu..."

Yu Fengxian's words made Liao Yinshu pause for a moment, because the fact that she wanted to use Dou Eqing to overcome her emotional tribulation had an unspeakable connection with Liao Yinshu.

"Now that your cultivation has improved, you can use the faction elimination tournament to gain great opportunities and accelerate your cultivation progress. Of course, you must be extremely cautious of the risks involved. In this great reshuffle, the saying is being proven true: one general's success is built on the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers."

What Yu Fengxian said made Dou Eqing feel a little confused.

"What is the faction elimination tournament?"

Dou Eqing had no choice but to ask directly.

"Every three hundred years, our demonic path undergoes a period of great change. Forces of the same level devour each other, and forces that advance devour those at a higher level. Beyond the three-hundred-year cycle of great change, there's also a thousand-year cycle of great change.

The current three-hundred-year period of great change coincides with the millennium-long cycle of great change. As the saying goes, heroes are made by the times, and amidst disasters lie unparalleled opportunities. I hope you will become a great hero of this era of great change..."

Yu Fengxian had another piece of information and was hesitant about whether to reveal it to Dou Eqing.

Dou Eqing was shocked by her words and did not notice Yu Fengxian's hesitation.

His Bead of Infinite Merit is the golden finger that helps him increase his cultivation by killing demons, and now the time is just right for the golden finger.

"Heroes are made by the times, but they also need a diamond in hand. I have the diamond in my hand, so I am the only one who can be a hero."

Dou Eqing couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.

"I'm not trying to discourage you, but your current cultivation is too low. The period of great change is extremely dangerous, and it can be said that there is only a chance of survival. Your strength and the overall strength of the Hezong need to be greatly improved. Time is running out for you."

Yu Fengxian naturally didn't understand what Dou Eqing was thinking. She only thought of the brutal battles in the era of great changes, and couldn't help but worry about whether Dou Eqing could survive.

"Don't worry, I am the hero of this era of great change!"

Dou Eqing blurted out these words.

"I won't be able to help you then, as the Judgment Hall will intervene. Even the Demon Hunter Sect won't be able to provide you with support, so you'll have to rely on yourself. Furthermore, the forces controlled by the other elite disciples of the Demon Hunter Sect might even target you.

After all, the two factions of the sect are clearly divided, and you've already been labeled a member of one of them, so you can't remain neutral. Furthermore, Hezong was originally a Tier 3 force, but you've quickly elevated it to Tier 4. Right from the start of the faction elimination round, you'll have to face a veteran Tier 4 force."

Yu Fengxian was talking about the token of ancestor Jie Lian on Dou Eqing, which meant that Dou Eqing belonged to her faction.

Ancestor Jie Lian belongs to the foreign faction, and the Demon Hunting Sect also has a local faction.

She raised specific questions, which made Dou Eqing think seriously about them.

He couldn't help but think about how to improve the overall strength of the clan in a short period of time.

"When does the faction elimination tournament begin?"

Now we need to confirm how much time is left for the clan to grow and develop.

"It has already begun. It's just in the initial stages, and the fighting between the various factions isn't too intense. It's more of a testing phase. That is, the combined clan has destroyed one quasi-fourth-tier faction, but the others haven't been destroyed yet.

Of course, Caihua Pavilion's annihilation of Yanghua Tower's branch was equivalent to destroying a primary fourth-tier force. "It seems you were involved?"

As Yu Fengxian was talking, she realized another problem and looked at Dou Eqing seriously.

Her words also reminded Dou Eqing of Caihua Pavilion.

"It seems we need to merge Hezong and Caihua Pavilion as soon as possible."

Dou Eqing opened up the direction of improving the overall strength of the Hezong.

“It’s such a rare opportunity!”

Yu Fengxian suddenly received a message asking her to return to the Demon Hunting Sect urgently, and she couldn't help but look at Dou Eqing.

Suddenly, Yu Fengxian came over and hugged Dou Eqing.

Just as Dou Eqing was about to say something, his mouth was blocked.

"Little man, wait for the day when you become a giant of the magic world!"

When he responded, Yu Fengxian was no longer beside him. It all seemed like a dream.
