Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 526 The Secret of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Li Yunjing took a deep breath and memorized the contents of the array diagram into his mind without any error. Then he rolled it up again and put it into his storage ring before looking back at the dark abyss.

"Five-color divine light!"

"Yin and Yang!"

"The power of thunder!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Yunjing made a hand seal with his fingertips, and the lightning around his body transformed into a thin shield, with a five-colored light barrier surrounding the shield.

Behind him are the two guardian deities, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger!

As for the magical treasures surrounding him, they have all been activated.

A dazzling array of colors shone forth, and Li Yunjing felt as if he were in a dream.

He slowly walked towards the edge of the "Dragon Locking Abyss," the rocks beneath his feet crumbling and falling into the bottomless abyss under the vibrations of the demonic shadow.

"Fight!"

He gave a low shout, and his body floated lightly as he slowly descended along the abyss wall.

Upon arriving here, Li Yunjing dared not be careless in the slightest.

Who knows how much of the sealed power remains after all these years?

Did the "Prison Suppressor Demon Lord" release a trace of demonic power?
You must understand, that was an ancient demon of god-like or demonic level. Even the power of time could not kill it. Such a demon could crush hundreds or thousands of its own with just a little bit of its power.

How could Li Yunjing dare to rush in recklessly?

After entering the "Dragon Locking Abyss", the surrounding air became increasingly cold, and the thick demonic energy rushed towards him as if it were a tangible force, corroding his protective aura.

After descending several hundred feet, the surroundings were completely dark, with no light in sight.

Apart from Li Yunjing being the only source of light, there was no other color.

"Boom! Boom!"

Beneath the chilling wind, only the sound of swaying iron chains echoed intermittently from an unknown depth below...

The downward passage was three thousand feet in circumference, incredibly wide.

Li Yunjing dared not fly in the middle, but instead slowly descended along the abyss wall from which he had started.

The "eyes of creation" have long been open.

Only with such divine eyes can one see things in the darkness.

Suddenly, Li Yunjing was drawn to the scene before him.

On the abyss wall about five hundred feet high, there was a large patch of dark blue crystals growing, each one emitting an eerie light. Between the crystals, dark golden vines were wrapped around them, and the vines were covered with black fruits, the surface of which swirled with an eerie black and red color.

"These are... 'Netherworld Frost Crystal' and 'Demon-Devouring Vine'?"

Li Yunjing was startled. These two kinds of spiritual objects were extremely rare in the cultivation world, and he never expected them to grow in this abyss.

You should know that these are all products of the legendary "Nine Netherworld"!
In the "Nine Netherworlds," such things are nothing special; they are just ordinary stones and vegetation.

But this is the mortal realm, "Tianlan Star," a world of living people, which makes it all the more precious.

"Crack!"

Li Yunjing carefully used the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" to cut off some of the "Netherworld Cold Crystals" and carefully put them away.

Such a rare item might come in handy in the future, so Li Yunjing naturally wouldn't miss it.

However, he didn't take more; he only cut off one side, which was enough for his research.

As for the "Demon-Devouring Vine," some of it was cut off and put into a "Treasure Pouch."

He moved slightly away from the abyss wall, avoiding the large patches of "Demon-Eating Vines," and continued his descent.

A moment later, a huge waterfall blocked their path. The waterfall did not flow with water, but with a viscous black liquid that emitted a nauseating stench.

Seeing this, Li Yunjing felt helpless and had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush into the waterfall.

The moment the black liquid came into contact with Li Yunjing, it made a "sizzling" sound, and the precious light surrounding his body quickly dimmed.

Fortunately, the waterfall's obstruction wasn't very deep; after passing through a thousand feet, there was very little of that black liquid left.

The downward passage has returned to normal.

However, when he entered the three thousand zhang area, the scene before him made Li Yunjing's pupils shrink sharply.

Below him, nine enormous bronze pillars plunged into the abyss, each engraved with ancient runes. Between the pillars, countless chains intertwined to form a net, tightly binding a huge black shadow.

Every struggle of that dark figure sent tremors through the entire abyss.

This is the base of the "Nine Luminaries Trapping Dragon Formation"!
The nine bronze pillars alone are an unparalleled treasure.

And those densely packed chains, in Li Yunjing's mind, all seemed to be fifth-tier treasures!
Moreover, they are all fully activated Tier 5 magic treasures!

As for the "Bronze Pillar," it is far more powerful than any of the magical treasures Li Yunjing possesses.

As for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" treasure mentioned by Ming Lingchuan?
Li Yunjing searched everywhere, pushing his divine sense and "Creation Divine Eye" to their limits, but still couldn't sense any lightning power.

Clearly, the abyss lies deep and unknown, beyond which Li Yunjing's abilities cannot reach.

At this moment, Li Yunjing's protective aura had dimmed considerably, and the two guardian deities, "Azure Dragon" and "White Tiger," had become illusory, dim, and about to dissipate.

"We can't delay any longer."

Li Yunjing took a deep breath, and with a light leap, he sped towards the nearest "bronze pillar".

Li Yunjing stepped on lightning and instantly got close to the nearest bronze pillar.

The moment his fingertips touched the ancient runes on the pillar, a chilling and violent demonic energy surged through his meridians and into his spiritual center. He groaned, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth once more.

This is not the demonic energy inherent in the "Bronze Pillar"!

Rather, it was the long-term seal that caused it to come into contact with the "Prison Demon Lord," and over time, it became tainted by demonic energy.

This is the flaw in the formation!

Ming Lingchuan sent Li Yunjing mainly to clear away the demonic energy outside, enhance the power of the magic weapon, and continue to trap the "Prison Demon Lord".

Li Yunjing endured the demonic influence and immediately understood Ming Lingchuan's deeper meaning.

Some things don't need to be explained in detail; you'll understand everything the moment you see them.

"Imperial edict to General Tianpeng, Black Killer General."

"Thirty-six divisions, the Great Demon King's army."

"Drive away evil spirits and save all living beings."

"Anyone who dares to commit this offense will be crushed into dust!"

"Hurry up as a law!"

Li Yunjing's eyes were wide open, lightning flashing wildly in his pupils, and his robes fluttered and rustled without any wind.

He flicked his finger like a hook, plunging it into the gaps in the runes on the surface of the bronze pillar, and roared, "Purify!"

With a roar, lightning exploded around Li Yunjing, transforming him into a hundred-foot-tall phantom of the Heavenly General Tianpeng.

The divine general was clad in black iron armor, wielding a demon-slaying "nine-toothed rake," and his body was wrapped in golden chains engraved with dense demon-slaying runes. His imposing aura was as deep as the ocean, instantly enveloping the entire abyss.

The phantom of the Heavenly General Tianpeng wielded his "Nine-Toothed Rake" and smashed it heavily against the bronze pillar.

The moment the "Nine-Toothed Rake" touched the pillar, the pitch-black demonic energy surging from the gaps in the runes churned violently like boiling black water, emitting a piercing shriek.

"Thirty-six thunderbolts, shattering the demonic heavens!"

Li Yunjing's meridians swelled up like earthworms, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He endured the excruciating pain of the demonic energy flowing back and formed hand seals again.

Thirty-six bolts of lightning, each as thick as a water bucket, were summoned from his sea of ​​consciousness with the aid of the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," weaving into a giant net of lightning in the abyss.

Wherever the lightning passed, the demonic energy on the nine "bronze pillars" and countless chains turned into wisps of smoke, like snowflakes meeting the sun.

"Roar……"

Seemingly sensing that the demonic energy that had been transmitted over the past century had been purified once again, the "Prison Demon Lord" let out an angry roar.

The remaining demonic energy resisted even more fiercely. Countless black demonic energies, like living things, soared into the sky, entwined around the bronze pillar, and tried to drag Li Yunjing into the abyss.

"Cut it off!"

The phantom of the Heavenly General Tianpeng glared angrily, his "Nine-Toothed Rake" radiating brilliant light, and from within the swirling demonic energy came a pitiful scream.

In this dark abyss, the piercing screams sent chills down Li Yunjing's spine, giving him a terrifying feeling as if he were in hell.

"You can't scare me!" Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and bit his tongue, taking the opportunity to spray a stream of blood essence onto the "bronze pillar." The blood essence mingled with the lightning, turning into golden runes that traveled along the pillar. Wherever they went, the runes that had been eroded by demonic energy were revitalized.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, a black storm arose from the abyss, carrying thousands of demonic shadows as they rushed towards the sealing net formed by the iron chains.

"Crash!"

At this moment, the "Nine Luminaries Trapping Dragon Formation" was activated, seemingly sensing the invasion of demonic energy, and began to fight back.

The "Nine Luminaries Dragon-Trapping Formation" is an extremely powerful sealing formation within the Xuanmen (Mysterious Sect).

The formation combines the power of the "Nine Luminaries" with the imagery of "trapped dragon," capable of suppressing even a true dragon, and naturally able to suppress demons as well!

The "power of the stars" emanated from the nine "bronze pillars," almost illuminating the entire dark abyss.

Below Li Yunjing, starlight filled the air, as if he had entered a cosmic sea.

These starlight sealed off the impact of demonic energy, transforming into unbreakable shackles that suppressed the power of the "Prison Demon Lord" in the deepest part of the endless abyss.

At this moment, Li Yunjing was in the "Dragon Locking Abyss" and was unaware that the celestial phenomena outside had changed.

The starry sky hangs upside down, and the nine luminaries manifest their divine power!
The terrifying scene was reflected throughout Tianlan Star, and even in the vast sea of ​​stars, in many life-giving lands, and among countless powerful beings, this scene was also witnessed.

On Tianlan Star, some powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage looked up at the starry sky, sighed, and felt lost.

These powerful beings, who have overlooked "Tianlan Star" for tens of thousands of years, naturally know where the anomaly occurred and what it is.

However, the "Prison Demon Lord" sealed by the ancient seal is not something that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator can handle. Even if the power of the cultivation world of "Tianlan Star" is used, it is impossible to defeat that terrifying existence.

This task of reinforcing the seal became the mission of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

In some matters, Li Yunjing's level is too low.

He was unaware that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had exchanged this for immense benefits from the entire cultivation world of "Tianlan Star".

All other sects and factions, even those Nascent Soul Realm experts, would lean slightly towards the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" for one purpose only: to seal off the "Prison Suppressing Demon Lord"!
Over hundreds of thousands of years, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has experienced rises and falls, and has also declined.

But they always manage to come back to life!

The sect's secret realm contains abundant resources, ensuring that any prodigies who emerge can be nurtured to their peak and recreate the glory of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

In addition, there is another reason: a supreme treasure of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is suppressed deep within the "Locking Dragon Abyss"!

This treasure is not an inanimate object!

It's a supreme treasure of the spiritual level!
If the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is destroyed, who knows if this treasure will exhibit any unusual behavior?

For the sake of everyone's safety, the lineage of the "Shenxiao Daozong" has always existed.

The task of suppressing demons is also assigned to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" every hundred years, in order to communicate with the most profound treasure in the abyss and confirm that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is safe and sound!
Li Yunjing was unaware of all this. He was still using the power of the Heavenly General Tianpeng to assist in suppressing the demonic energy, clearing away the demonic energy on the "Nine Luminaries Trapping Dragon Formation," and restoring the full power of the formation.

The process of suppressing the demon was incredibly long.

As night fell, the night sky twisted, and the Big Dipper and its two supporting stars shone brightly at the same time. Nine dazzling pillars of stars descended from the sky, like divine punishment spears, and nailed to the nine "bronze pillars," emitting a terrifying sound.

The entire "Dragon Locking Abyss" was shaking, and Li Yunjing even suspected that the nine "bronze pillars" might have gotten even deeper.
At this point, Li Yunjing had already consumed countless "Nourishing Spirit Pills" and "Purple Mansion Condensing Essence Pills" to ensure that the summoned Heavenly General's Dharma Image would not dissipate.

That day, the illusory image of the Divine General Peng was also formidable. With each swing of his "Nine-Toothed Rake," the power to vanquish demons swept across the land, shredding all the demonic energy.

This is far more efficient than Li Yunjing slowly eliminating them with lightning magic.

Within the Xuanmen sect, there are so many guardian deities, so Li Yunjing naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to rely on his own power to exorcise demons. The current results have left Li Yunjing very satisfied.

He gritted his teeth and channeled his magic power, summoning another batch of divine generals!
This time, thirty-six Thunder Gods appeared behind Li Yunjing, roaring in unison: "Thunder Gods, subdue demons and sweep away evil spirits!"

The thirty-six Dharma forms roared out and collided violently with the black storm.

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth, causing rocks in the abyss to crumble and shatter. The demonic energy on the "bronze pillar" gradually dissipated under this powerful purifying force, revealing ancient and solemn runes that radiated dazzling golden light.

"Nine luminaries shine together, lend me the power of the stars!"

Li Yunjing raised his hands high, and nine beams of starlight poured down from the sky, intertwining with thunder and flames.

All the power began to flow towards the dense chains, trying to dispel the demonic energy on them.

Unlike the nine "bronze pillars"!
The chains came into direct contact with the demonic energy and were sealed at the forefront of the "Prison Demon Lord," where they were also the most affected by the demonic energy.

Even though Li Yunjing summoned thirty-seven guardian deities and used the "power of the stars," he still couldn't dispel all the demonic energy at once.

The net formed by the chains was three thousand feet long and was enormous.

Li Yunjing could only exorcise the demons little by little from the outside, following one direction, which was very inefficient.

However, Li Yunjing had no other choice.

This is the limit he can use!

As for inviting the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding to the Thunder of the Nine Heavens?

Even if we invite the patriarch, we still need to see if Li Yunjing has the ability to do so!

For a top-tier Golden Core Realm expert like him to be able to summon a wisp of divine power from General Tianpeng was already an unexpected surprise.

If Li Yunjing wanted to invite the founder of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" down, he estimated that he would need to be at least at the Nascent Soul stage.
Only then can the patriarch unleash a wisp of demon-slaying power to obliterate evil spirits!

"Ugh……"

However, as the demonic energy continued to retaliate, blood began to seep from Li Yunjing's seven orifices, and the protective aura around his body became increasingly unstable.

Li Yunjing had no choice but to stop temporarily and rest to recover his energy.

Then, the Heavenly General Peng and the thirty-six Thunder Gods all vanished.

Apart from the "Nine Luminaries Trapping Dragon Formation" still suppressing the restless "Prison Demon Lord" on its own, Li Yunjing could no longer offer any further assistance.

After a day and a night, Li Yunjing regained his energy and vitality. He followed the same method and continued to summon the thirty-seven guardian deities to begin clearing the demonic energy from the chain net.

After repeated attempts, Li Yunjing stayed here for a full six months, finally managing to dispel all the demonic energy from the chains.

"The Nine Luminaries return to their positions, and the stars lock the universe!"

Nine dim stars faintly appeared in the sky, and their faint star power flowed into the seal through the bronze pillar.

The "Prison Lord" at the bottom of the abyss finally let out a roar of resentment.

A century of hard work, a complete failure!
One hundred years after another, how many hundred years is there?

Unfortunately, every century, some damned members of the Xuanmen sect would come to the "Nine Luminaries Trapping Dragon Formation" and expel the demonic energy that was escaping from it, thus delaying its plan to escape.

"call……"

After a demonic howl, the strange occurrences that had lasted for half a year finally came to an end.

Ultimately, even the "Prison Suppressor Demon Lord" was powerless against the suppression of this great formation.

"This is only a temporary measure. The 'Prison Suppressing Demon Lord' will awaken again sooner or later. We must find a way to completely resolve this as soon as possible..."

Standing on the "bronze pillar," looking at the "Nine Luminaries Trapping Dragon Formation" which had dimmed again, Li Yunjing showed no joy. He stroked his chin, and this thought flashed through his mind.

The appearance of terrifying god-level powerhouses in "Tianxu Secret Realm" and "Locked Dragon Abyss" made Li Yunjing quite anxious.

While Tianlan Star appears to be the territory of cultivators, in reality, there are quite a few hidden dangers on Tianlan Star.

Even a single misstep could lead to the demon god escaping, and the entire planet would perish.

Li Yunjing and the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were like sitting on a time bomb!
This hidden danger has persisted from ancient times to the present day.

And tomorrow will be the same!
"Ugh……"

With a sigh, Li Yunjing took a deep look at the dark world below, then flew upwards without looking back.

He tried his best!

As for whether this hidden danger can be completely eliminated?

That depends on whether you can become an immortal in the future!

Without becoming an immortal, discussing how to defeat two giants of demonic god level is simply wishful thinking.

When Li Yunjing stood by the "Locking Dragon Abyss" and saw the sunlight he hadn't seen for half a year, his mood finally improved.

"It's time to return to the sect and report!"

The "Sky Patrol Ship" was summoned again. Li Yunjing entered the ship amidst a bolt of lightning and piloted the treasure ship towards the "Divine Firmament Mountain Range".
