Chapter 182, Soul Star
Chapter 182, Soul Star
Just as Hua Changxi was sleeping at the bottom of Tangyu Valley, people from all parties who realized the changes in Tanggu rushed to Qianmen Pass one after another, and some well-informed monks also followed after hearing the news.
For a moment, a large number of monks appeared outside Qianmen Fort.
"The nine castles guarding the Demon Prison are truly a place where one man can block the passage of ten thousand men."
The tall and majestic Qianmen Fort exudes an ancient atmosphere, like a giant beast crawling on the ground, blocking anyone who wants to cross it.
"Before, I always thought that places like Qianmen Pass and Kunmen Pass were just nine ghost markets for trading. I never thought that they were actually nine checkpoints guarding the Demon Prison. As expected, we still have to follow the actions of the powerful and noble families to learn the truth about the world."
"Isn't it? The powerful and noble families knew about the revival of spiritual energy hundreds of years ago. They have countless relics in their hands. They know much more information than us. At first, I thought the Ghost Market was a secret place. Who would have thought that this place was actually the Nine Netherworlds of the Underworld?"
"Although the Nine Passes cover a large area, you and I cannot even explore all of them. However, the Demon Prison is only a small corner of the Nine Netherworld. The Nine Netherworld is so vast that you and I cannot imagine it."
"It's not just the Nine Netherworlds. The world is so vast that we can't even imagine it. Although the Great Jin where you and I are is the center of the Central Continent, there are also four continents in the southeast, northwest, and northeast. There are also vast oceans between the continents. There are still too many places in this world that we don't know about."
"Yes, this is just the situation in our interface. There are other worlds outside the interface. I really want to go and see other worlds."
"Don't be so ambitious. Let's explore our world first."
"There is the Netherworld below, the Sky above, and the Human World in between. We have only glimpsed a small part of the Netherworld, but we know nothing about the Sky. The only place where you and I can grow and prosper is the Human World."
After the monks gathered at Qianmen Fort, they gathered in groups of three or five and talked in low voices. Those who were able to rush here as soon as they saw the Fusang sacred tree appear were all people of extraordinary knowledge. What they knew and saw was much higher than that of ordinary people.
Gu Jinfan stood in the crowd, looking at the monks around him with a complicated expression.
In this life, the revival of spiritual energy was exposed ahead of time, resulting in a large increase in the number of cultivators in the Four Spiritual Realms. Moreover, a group of people with outstanding talents also appeared, just like the cultivators who came today.
In order to fight for resources, these people will definitely cause unrest in the future; however, with more cultivators and more powerful people, when the cultivators from the outside world try to seize the Four Spirit Realms in the future, the Four Spirit Realms should not be like in the previous life, without any ability to fight back or resist.
"The Demon Suppression Army is here."
When Gu Jinfan heard the commotion, he looked back and saw the Demon-Suppressing Army coming, wearing Qilin masks and black armor.
Looking at the leader, Gu Jinfan's eyes flashed.
Chu Junyi…….
Thinking of his previous life, in order to prevent the evil spirit in the Demon Prison from spreading to the human world, he used himself as a container to absorb the evil spirit. After becoming a demon, he took the initiative to seal himself and turned into the gate of the Demon Prison, merging with the Demon Prison.
This man was like a mountain guarding the Demon Prison until his death!
Chu Junyi noticed that someone was looking at him, so he followed the line of sight and looked over. Seeing it was Gu Jinfan, he was slightly surprised, but when he thought about how the Gu family was the first to arrive when the situation at Genmen Pass changed and how they occupied Baigushan Mountain, he felt relieved.
The master had told him that this Gu Jinfan either had the ability to predict the future or was a chosen one with extraordinary luck, and it was best to make friends with such a person.
Chu Junyi nodded towards Gu Jinfan and then looked away, his gaze moving towards Qianmen Fort.
Gu Jinfan also withdrew his gaze and looked towards the silent Qianmen Fort, which seemed to be sealed in dust. Seeing more and more monks gathering outside the city gate, he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
With so many outsiders gathering, Qianmen Fort sensed the crisis, and this fortress that had been silent for countless years was about to wake up.
Now that the sacred Fusang tree has appeared, it doesn't seem strange that Qianmen Fort has awakened early.
However, the Gu family might not have a chance to take over Qianmen Fort.
The nine checkpoints, including Qianmen Pass and Kunmen Pass, were set up to guard the demon prison.
The beasts sealed in the Demon Prison are all extremely vicious and ferocious. Suppressing the Demon Prison is not only beneficial to the development of the human race, but also protects other creatures and maintains the stability of the interface.
Therefore, after the establishment of the nine checkpoints, a lot of merit power was accumulated. It took the efforts of several generations of abbots in Xiangguo Temple to cultivate a golden lotus of merit, and the nine checkpoints in ancient times nurtured a pool of golden lotus of merit.
Even though the Four Spiritual Realms had experienced extinction, the remaining power of merit in the nine major checkpoints was quite astonishing. For example, the demon-suppressing guards in the fortress were able to preserve their spirits for five hundred years thanks to the power of merit.
Because of the nine major checkpoints, Jiuyou's inheritance has never been interrupted. Some families of the Demon-Suppressing Guards have directly become soul-cultivating families relying on the protection of the Demon-Suppressing Guards.
The Nine Netherworld today is much more dangerous than the human world.
Gu Jinfan was very envious of the power of merit of the nine levels. Relying on the memories of her previous life, she knew that during this period of time, demons would come to Qianmen Fort to destroy the center of the formation, so she contacted Master Gu and Liu Chengxiong in advance.
It was originally thought that with her intervention, the Gu family would be able to take over Qianmen Fort. With the power of merit of Qianmen Fort, the strength of the Gu family's cultivators would definitely be greatly improved.
Who would have thought that something unexpected happened in Tanggu. Although the evil spirit did not spread to the human world, the Fusang sacred tree appeared in the human world and Jiuyou in advance.
Gu Jinfan really wanted to know what had happened in Tanggu.
"Bang, bang, bang~"
The sound of war drums, louder than the last, suddenly rang out, breaking the silence under the dark night sky, interrupting Gu Jinfan's thoughts, and causing a commotion among the monks present.
"what happened?"
"What happened?"
"It's the sound of war drums, coming from Qianmen Fort."
"Buzz~Woo~"
Just as everyone was exclaiming and talking, a deep and solemn horn sounded again in Qianmen Fort.
The next moment, a bright white star appeared above Qianmen Fort, and the starlight directly dispersed the fog in the air. Previously, due to the darkness, only a vague outline of Qianmen Fort could be seen, but now it was completely revealed.
"The soul star is lit, and the silent Qianmen Fort has awakened." Gu Jinfan sighed.
"It's incredible that there are stars in Jiuyou."
"That's the Soul Star."
"What soul star?"
"The planet is formed by the condensation of soul power. In the human world, spiritual energy nourishes all things. In the underworld, soul power nourishes all things. Didn't you feel that after the soul star appeared, the whole person became relaxed and clear-headed? This is because the soul power emanating from the soul star is nourishing our soul body."
“The place covered by the Soul Star is like a paradise on earth. No wonder in ancient times, even though guarding the Nine Passes was extremely dangerous, there were still countless cultivators who wanted to be demon-suppressing guards. As long as they survive, their souls will surely become very powerful after five hundred years.”
Among the crowd, there were monks with extraordinary knowledge. They were not secretive about what they knew, and when they heard someone asking, they readily shared the information they knew.
Just as the monks were marveling at this, countless demon-suppressing guards wearing silver armor and holding sharp weapons appeared on the city wall, watching the various groups of people under the city wall in full readiness.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
All the demon-suppressing guards spoke at the same time, with their weapons pointed directly at the monks below the city. The murderous aura was so strong that the air was shaking.
All the monks present were shocked by this scene. Many of them seemed to see a battlefield with swords, spears and bloody battles through the solemn and murderous sounds.
