Chapter 189 Outside the Immortal Alliance, the Forbidden Land of Mahakala

Chapter 189 Outside the Immortal Alliance, the Forbidden Land·Mahayana

The southernmost part of the Immortal Alliance, Lizhou, Lihuo Daoyuan.

As one of the four major Daoyuans of the Immortal Alliance, the Lihuo Daoyuan in the center covers an area of ​​​​the equivalent of a million-level Immortal Alliance city.

And around the Lihuo Daoyuan, there is also a million-level city built with the Lihuo Daoyuan as the center, called "Nanli".

More importantly, Nanli City is not only populated, but also has an extremely exaggerated proportion of cultivators, almost reaching 1%.

In other words, there are 300,000 cultivators living in Nanli City, which has a population of 30 million.

More than 10,000 of them are students and faculty members of Lihuo Daoyuan.

The rest are some foreign cultivators and students who graduated from Lihuo Daoyuan.

And the reason why these students are still willing to stay in Nanli City after graduation.

On the one hand, it is because the cultivator resources here are rich, and many resources that cannot be found in other places in the Immortal Alliance can be found in this place, which is convenient for cultivators to practice.

Another aspect is that this is the gateway for the Immortal Alliance to suppress the forbidden land, Mahakala.

As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it.

The Immortal Alliance wants to maintain the stability of the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, and the price it pays behind the scenes is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Apart from anything else, there is a cultivator army in Nanli City that is specifically used to suppress the forbidden land Mahakala, called "Suzaku".

The minimum requirement for entering this 100,000-strong cultivator army is the foundation-building stage.

The subsequent Suzaku Thousand Households require the Golden Core Stage, and the Ten Thousand Households Generals require the Nascent Soul Stage.

An army of 100,000 people, hundreds of Golden Core Stage, ten Nascent Soul Stage, and one Spiritualization Stage.

A Suzaku Army alone can sweep more than 90% of the sects in the Immortal Alliance's 100 Sects.

But such a force must not only guard Nanli City all year round, but it even has to rotate a group of cultivators every few years to fill the structure of the Suzaku Army.

It can be seen how fierce the battle here is.

In early March, outside Nanli City, Suzaku Great Wall.

"Kill!"

On the Suzaku Great Wall, a large number of Suzaku Army monks wearing fire feather armor were relying on the Suzaku Great Wall to fight against the evil spirits that kept emerging from the black tide below.

The battle between the two sides was very intense.

Although each of the Suzaku Army was an elite, in terms of numbers, they were not as good as the millions of black tide evil spirits outside the Suzaku Great Wall.

Not to mention that there were also a large number of foundation-building period among these evil spirits, which was very troublesome.

Fortunately, the strength of the Suzaku Army was not only reflected in the cultivation of the Suzaku Army monks themselves.

It was also reflected in the special magic weapons and instruments on them, as well as a huge special statue on the Suzaku Great Wall.

The statue was carved with the Suzaku, one of the four legendary beasts.

Whenever a Suzaku Army monk killed an evil spirit, the energy in the evil spirits would be absorbed by the Suzaku statue.

Part of this energy will be used by the Suzaku statue to maintain the huge spiritual barrier around the Suzaku Great Wall, and part of it will be used to feed back to the Suzaku Army monks on the Suzaku Great Wall.

Not to mention that there are many new weapons developed by the Immortal Alliance Spiritual Energy Heavy Industry on the Suzaku Great Wall.

With so much help, the Suzaku Army has to deal with evil spirits that are more than ten times its own.

And it still stopped it.

The so-called evil spirits are actually a very special creature.

No matter what form ordinary monsters and ghosts are in, they still have the concept of "life and death".

But evil spirits are different.

Evil spirits are more like a "rule of heaven and earth", similar to rain, breeze, sun, moon and stars.

Unless the source of this "rule" is found, the evil spirits of Mahakala will be born continuously, and they can't be killed.

The reason why Mahakala is called one of the four forbidden areas by the Immortal Alliance is precisely because of a special rule contained in it... Black Sky.

The Black Sky here is not the night in the general sense, but a special vision.

In the forbidden land of Mahakala, every time night falls, a special black tide will permeate the Mahakala.

And in this black tide, there are countless evil spirits hidden.

Some of these evil spirits are transformed from immortal monks who died in Mahakala.

Others are some ancient monks or creatures.

It's as if their fate is imprisoned by something in Mahakala.

Not only can they not transcend, but they are trapped in Mahakala for life after life, endlessly.

The danger of the forbidden land Mahakala is not only because of the strange black tide that falls every night.

There are also many special alien races living in Mahakala.

These alien races have explored a set of means to resist the erosion of the black tide of Mahakala over a long period of time.

And with the help of the unique natural phenomenon of the black tide at night, they use it as a barrier to protect their own race.

But even so, life in Mahakala is still full of dangers.

Therefore, every alien race that can gain a foothold in Mahakala has impressive strength.

The most powerful ones among them are even comparable to the top ten sects in the Immortal Alliance.

One of the roles of the Suzaku Army is to guard against these alien races.

However, the battle taking place on the Suzaku Great Wall has nothing to do with alien races. It is the "Little Black Sky" that appears every six months in Mahakala.

The so-called Little Black Sky refers to the black tide in the forbidden area Mahakala that spreads to the surrounding areas every March and September.

The reason why these three months are called Xiao Hei Tian is that during this period, only evil spirits of the Jindan stage will appear in the black tide, which is relatively easy to deal with.

After all, the trouble is actually the Da Hei Tian that appears once every five years, and the Da An Hei Tian that appears once every hundred years.

In the Da Hei Tian black tide that only occurs once every five years, there will be many evil spirits comparable to Yuanying stage cultivators.

Not to mention the Da An Hei Tian that only appears once every hundred years.

Because during this period of time, evil spirits of the Hua Shen stage often appear in the black tide.

And now there are only three years left before the next Da An Hei Tian.

Therefore, in order to cope with this upcoming huge challenge.

Lihuo Daoyuan and the Wanye Xianmen behind it must be fully prepared.

It’s just that Da Hei Tian, ​​one of the four forbidden areas, is so dangerous.

Not to mention the other three forbidden areas outside the Xianmeng.

Compared with the catastrophe that the evil spirits in the forbidden areas may bring to the Xianmeng, some evil cultivators of the magic way in the Xianmeng are not worth worrying about at all.

As long as these evil cultivators of the magic way have not reached the cultivation level of the Yuanying stage or above.

Then the Immortal Alliance will basically not pay too much attention to them, and leave it to the Mountain and Sea Division to deal with.

The higher you stand, the more you see, and the more things you have to worry about.

How to choose between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction is an enduring topic in the Immortal Alliance.

Mosquitoes are annoying, but the wolves, tigers and leopards outside the door are more critical.

Unless all the wolves, tigers and leopards outside the door are solved, the Immortal Alliance can focus on dealing with those mosquitoes running around in the house.

Just when the monks on the Vermillion Bird Great Wall thought that this time's Little Black Day was about to end.

A huge head suddenly emerged from the black tide.

This head is human-like, with a small horn on the forehead.

Its mouth is so exaggerated that it can be split to the root of the ear, which is very scary.

Seeing the huge head, the Suzaku Army monk closest to it immediately shouted: "Be careful, it's a Yuanying stage black magic ghost!"

Not long after the Suzaku Army monk finished speaking, he felt a cold chill rising from his back and spreading all the way from his spine to his innate sense.

He turned his head tremblingly and found that the Yuanying stage black magic ghost had already arrived at the edge of the Suzaku Great Wall.

The Suzaku Great Wall, which is a full 100 meters high, is actually a little shorter than the huge head at this time.

At such a close distance, the Suzaku Army monks on this section of the Great Wall can even clearly see the white bones and rotten meat between the teeth of the black magic ghost.

"Hehehe..."

Amid the creepy laughter of the black magic ghost, it bit the Suzaku Army monk on the Great Wall.

Because it did not absorb enough energy, the spiritual power around the Suzaku Great Wall at this time could not stop the Yuanying stage black magic ghost, and it was directly knocked out of a gap.

Then, in the horrified eyes of the hundreds of Suzaku Army monks on this section of the Great Wall, the head-dropping ghost opened its bloody mouth.

The next second, a terrifying suction force came from its mouth.

Not to mention that these were just ordinary Suzaku Army monks at the Foundation Establishment stage, even one of the Suzaku Army's hundred households at the Golden Core stage could not resist at this time.

"Evil beast!"

Just as the nearest few Suzaku Army monks were about to be sucked into the mouth of the Yuanying stage head-dropping ghost, a shout of anger came from the top of everyone's head.

The next second, a Burning Heaven Spear fell from the sky and fiercely pierced the head of the Yuanying stage head-dropping ghost.

"嘤!!!"

The head-dropping ghost screamed and rolled on the ground.

Without giving it any breathing time, a female cultivator in armor broke through the clouds and rushed towards the head-dropping ghost.

She held the flying Burning Heaven Spear with one hand, and the whole person quickly turned into a huge flaming blue phoenix.

The magical power of the Nascent Soul Stage... the law of heaven and earth!

"Ming!"

The Blue Luan Dharma Image made a long cry, and then used its sharp beak to hit the Nascent Soul Stage head-falling ghost.

The sharp beak was like a magic weapon, easily breaking the Nascent Soul Stage head-falling ghost's body.

But the attack of the Blue Luan Dharma Image did not end there.

After it severely damaged the Nascent Soul Stage head-falling ghost with one blow, its figure flew into the air again.

As it flapped its wings, countless huge blue fireballs appeared around it.

These fireballs were all over the sky, and in the eyes of the head-falling ghost, they fell towards it.

Boom boom boom...

Under this fireball attack like a meteor shower, not only did the originally terrifying Nascent Soul Stage head-falling ghost gradually become silent amid screams.

Other ordinary evil spirits around it also suffered.

When everything was over, the Blue Luan slowly dissipated, revealing one of the heroic women with a cold face.

When the woman landed on this section of the Suzaku Great Wall, the surrounding Suzaku Army monks immediately showed admiration and said respectfully: "Greetings to General Qingluan."

"No need, no need, have you found the source of this black tide?"

Hearing Qingluan's words, the Suzaku Army Captain in this area immediately stepped forward and said: "We found it, it's in the Bing-character Great Wall area, and the other generals have gone to deal with it."

Hearing this, Qingluan Zhenren Jiang Yu nodded calmly.

While they were talking, the black tide under the Great Wall suddenly shook violently.

Then the strange black tide finally began to slowly recede.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew that this time's 'black tide' was over.

The surviving Suzaku Army monks all let go of their originally tense nerves and showed joy on their faces.

And Jiang Yu was the same at this time.

Xiao Heitian is easy to deal with, but it is just like the Yuanying stage black magic ghost that suddenly appeared just now.

Even if it is just Xiao Heitian, there is a possibility that a Yuanying stage evil spirit will suddenly appear.

Although such a situation is rare, every time it appears, it will cause considerable casualties to the Suzaku Army.

Fortunately, she happened to patrol this area this time and arrived at the first time when the Yuanying stage black magic ghost appeared.

Otherwise, the hundreds of Suzaku Army monks in this area would definitely die.

But similar situations cannot happen every time.

She dare not guarantee that she can be as timely as this time every time.

But anyway, the matter is temporarily resolved.

In the Suzaku Army camp in Lihuo City.

The people who just finished a war, while enjoying the joy of surviving the disaster, are calculating their gains this time.

For the Suzaku Army, the black tide once every six months is indeed terrifying, but it also contains considerable opportunities.

The first is the improvement in cultivation after killing the evil spirit.

The Suzaku statue on the Suzaku Great Wall can not only purify the curse power in the evil spirits, but also bless the monks of the Suzaku Army with this power.

The higher the cultivation level of the evil spirits killed, the greater the increase.

In addition, the evil spirits will leave a special item called "black crystal" after death.

This black crystal is a rare item that can directly improve the soul of the monks.

However, the black crystal cannot be directly absorbed. It needs to be purified by the "burning furnace" of the Wanye Immortal Gate before it can be taken by the monks.

The power of the curse improves the cultivation level, and the black crystal improves the soul.

The reason why the Suzaku Army can maintain such a powerful scale now is largely related to these two factors.

It is also the reason why many monks are willing to join the Suzaku Army.

Every time you safely pass through the black tide in the Suzaku Army, you can get a few years of hard training comparable to ordinary places.

After a few more times, even some monks with mediocre qualifications can also rely on "black crystal" and "curse power" to quickly improve their cultivation.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that you didn't die in the black tide...

Nanli City, a living area of ​​the Suzaku Army.

"What's wrong, Xiaoqing? Didn't the sect ask you to take over the task of Yu Tianqi, the monkey, and take on the task of protecting the young master? You should stay by the young master's side. Why did you suddenly have time to call me?"

Jiang Qing on the other end of the phone sighed and said, "It was the young master who asked me to call."

"Sister, are there any Yuanying-stage elders in the sect who are idle recently? The young master wants the sect to send one or two over."

"Hmm?"

Hearing the words on the other end of the phone, Jiang Yu sat up from the bathtub and said seriously, "What happened? Aren't you by the young master's side?"

"Why, even you can't solve it?"

"You know the situation inside the sect. The Great Dark Day, which happens once every hundred years, is coming soon. We all have to make more preparations for it. Many Yuanying-stage elders have ended their retreat in advance to ensure that they can deal with the great black tide in the best condition. It is not appropriate to send extra people out for the time being."

"Sister, I understand what you said, but the young sect leader said that her affairs are also very important, after all, it is related to the Black Lotus Sect."

"Black Lotus Sect?"

Although Jiang Yu was far away in Nanli City, he still heard about the Black Lotus Sect.

He understood that it was a group of evil monks who believed in evil Buddha.

But in her eyes, the Black Lotus Sect was just a group of rats in the sewer.

In other words, there are many important things to do in the Immortal Alliance.

If they were free, the Black Lotus Sect would never become a force to be reckoned with.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu said frankly: "It's just the Black Lotus Sect. As far as I know, they only have the leader and the deputy leader who are a little troublesome. The rest of them are not worth worrying about. Do you need to send multiple Nascent Soul cultivators over?"

"Don't say it. Anyway, the young master has already said that she will either send one or two Nascent Soul cultivators over, or she will turn around and go to Shangqing Taoist Palace to study."

"..."

Although he still felt that the young master was making a fuss, Jiang Yu finally gave in.

"Okay, I will pass the message to the sect. Did the young master say what to do?"

"Yes, she said that the Black Lotus Sect might attack her friends during the college entrance examination. In order to avoid such a situation, we should send more people over."

"Just a possibility?"

"Yes, just a possibility."

Hearing this, Jiang Yu didn't know what to say for a while.

For a possibility, a Nascent Soul elder mobilized so many troops.

To be honest, it was because Mu Xiaoye had a special identity, and she had contracted a six-level beast and achieved a first-grade Dao Xianji.

She has become the most promising one among all the Phoenix Tribulation cultivators.

Otherwise, even if she is the young master, as long as the Yuanying cultivators are unwilling, they can also not listen to Mu Xiaoye.

After all, you are only the young master of Wanye Xianmen, not the master of Wanye Xianmen.

Faced with some nonsensical requests, Yuanying cultivators can completely refuse.

But considering the importance of Mu Xiaoye to Wanye Xianmen, both Jiang Yu and other high-level officials of Wanye Xianmen will try their best to meet her requirements.

As long as the request is not too excessive.

Obviously, it is not an excessive request to let one or two Yuanying cultivators make a trip.

"Okay, tell the young master that we will let a Yuanying cultivator go before the college entrance examination."

"By the way, who is the young master's friend that is worth her going through so much trouble?"

Hearing this, Liang Qing, who originally had a somewhat helpless tone, suddenly became interested.

"Sister, you hit the nail on the head. I'm telling you, it wasn't until I came here that I realized that besides Yu Tianqi guarding the young master, there was another young man who was almost inseparable from her on weekdays."

"More importantly, I only recently realized how terrifying that young man was."

"You also know the young master's current situation. She is invincible below the Jindan stage, and can fight head-on with those above the Jindan stage."

"But her 'friend' is even more exaggerated than her. So far, the young master has only had one record of crossing the level and killing a Jindan stage, but her friend has killed several Jindan stages in a row. I have never seen such a terrifying sword cultivator."

"Compared to him, Yu Tianqi's senior brother Luo Changming is inferior."

"After all, Luo Changming, who was hailed as the number one sword cultivator in Shangqing Dao Palace, did not comprehend the Hedao realm swordsmanship in the foundation-building stage, but the young master's friend did it."

"The most important thing is the feeling"

"Oh?"

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

She... smelled gossip!

"Xiaoqing, be more specific."

"Okay, sister, but you have to promise that you won't tell anyone else in the sect what I told you."

"Otherwise, if the young sect master knows that I've been spreading her affairs everywhere, when the young sect master inherits the great cause, I, your sister, will probably be severely punished by the young sect master."

Hearing the words on the phone, Jiang Yu patted his flat chest and said firmly: "Xiaoqing, don't you trust your sister's character?"

"Don't worry, I promise not to tell a third person what you said."

After getting Jiang Yu's promise, the two Wanye Xianmen began to chat about Mu Xiaoye's gossip.

And this chat... lasted the whole night!

PS: The next update will be before 12 o'clock. It's almost the New Year, and there are a lot of things to do. I will try to make up for the 4,000 words I owed before these days.
