Chapter 507 Yu Yuan’s Seal
The Soldier Demon God was being controlled by Yan Fei and Yue Shen with all his might. As time went by, the two women were becoming somewhat exhausted.
After all, they have just broken through to the realm of immortals and the energy in their bodies cannot support them in using magic for a long time.
Moreover, while they were restraining the Soldier Demon God, they also tried to attack him, but found that the magic that had always been effective had no effect on him. It was very similar to a special material that the young master mentioned, which could greatly reduce the damage caused by energy to the body.
Cheng Jiao held the Chiyou Sword and said slowly: "Yan Fei Yue Shen, you all step back, I will deal with it."
The high priest hesitated and said, "My king, you can seal it without taking any action."
Cheng Jiao did not reply. He stepped into the air and walked directly towards the Demon God of War who was dozens of feet tall and no less powerful than the Mechanical Azure Dragon.
With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.
He held a peerless divine weapon in his hand, which gave him a sense of heroism, and he wanted to kill the Weapon Demon with the sword.
Yan Fei and Yue Shen retreated at the same time, but thin energy threads were still wrapped around their hands, binding the Soldier Demon God.
Cheng Jiao climbed up into the air step by step and faced the soldier demon who was more terrifying than the monsters.
If he had not inherited his own Dao Fruit and had not held the Chiyou Sword purified by the Goddess's Tears, the fastest way for him to deal with the War Demon God would be to enter the War Demon God and destroy the core device inside.
"cut!"
Cheng Jiao shouted loudly, his voice was like a long rolling thunder, and all the residents of Loulan were shocked.
I saw a sword energy that was hundreds of feet long and could tear through space as it passed through the huge bronze body of the Demon God of War.
Under the astonished gazes of the women, the Soldier Demon God, which was originally blazing with demonic flames, suddenly cracked apart, and the bronze gears inside fell down like rain.
The high priest murmured, "The God of Soldiers...May the Goddess bless us, my king is truly the savior."
Xiao Li couldn't help but feel her heart beating fast. The man who took her body was so powerful.
Yan Fei and Yue Shen were only slightly surprised, but they still had full faith in Cheng Jiao's strength.
Cheng Jiao slowly flew back to his original place. This Chiyou Sword was indeed a magical weapon made by the Queen Mother of the West herself. Just one strike had consumed nearly half of his spiritual power.
But the effect is also extremely powerful. I am afraid that an ordinary Jindan powerhouse in the realm of immortals and gods can be killed with one sword.
The high priest walked over slowly and said, "My king, the threat from Loulan has been resolved, and the seal of Yuyuan will be broken soon. I hope my king will not forget to save the people."
"Of course. Let's take a break and then we'll set off."
The high priest held Xiao Li's hand and said, "My king, can you take me and the Saint Girl to Yu Yuan together? Maybe we can do something."
Cheng Jiao groaned and said, "Okay."
The high priest is proficient in mysterious powers, Xiao Li is suspected to be the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, and although the Tears of the Goddess have been used to purify the Chi You Sword, he can clearly feel that only a part of the power of the Tears of the Goddess has been used, and a lot of it is still lurking in the Chi You Sword.
According to his guess, this part of the power will only erupt during the decisive battle with Chiyou.
……
The Shu Mountain in the West is a very peculiar, ancient, secretive and powerful witch clan, which also has deep roots in the Yin-Yang School.
But in fact, Yan Fei and Yue Shen didn't know much about Shushan. They only knew that Donghuang Taiyi had traveled back and forth between Yin Yang School and Shushan Yuyuan many times.
The Moon Goddess told Cheng Jiao what she knew about some of the mysterious witchcraft of Shushan.
When one's strength increases and reaches the realm of immortals and gods, these so-called witchcrafts are nothing more than an evolved branch of one of the spells used by the ancient Qi cultivators.
For these cultivators who, with the help of Cheng Jiao, were on their way to becoming ancient Qi-refining masters, there was nothing special about them.
High in the sky, Cheng Jiao looked at the endless mountains and various steep peaks. Without the power of a celestial being, it would be difficult to rush from the ancient kingdom of Loulan to Yuyuan in Shushan in a short period of time.
"Sir, we have arrived at Shushan, and Yu Yuan is just behind it."
The Moon Goddess made divination seals with her hands and deduced the specific location of Yu Yuan based on the map she had seen before.
Yan Fei suddenly said: "I feel a kind of aura, very strong, and it seems to be related to me."
"It is said that there is an ancient sacred tree named Fusang in the place where Yu Yuan is sealed. It is a giant tree that grows in the place where the god of the sun lived in ancient times. Senior sister, have you sensed the sacred Fusang tree?"
The Moon Goddess analyzed.
Cheng Jiao briefly recalled the original novel and continued, "Legend has it that the sacred Fusang tree is the gate connecting the world of gods, the world of humans, and the underworld. There is a three-legged golden crow flying above it, which can guide people to cross the three realms and realize their wishes. There is also a divine dragon guarding below, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Yan Fei nodded lightly: "It should be the sacred Fusang tree. I can feel the pull in my blood. However, it should also be due to the Dharma Three-legged Golden Crow that I specialize in. Otherwise, Junior Sister should be able to feel it too."
The Moon Goddess smiled softly. Her Dharma image was Guanghan Yugui, which was just right for her to be with her senior sister, one still and one moving.
Following Yan Fei's guidance, Cheng Jiao soon found the sacred Fusang tree outside Yuyuan.
It is no more than a hundred feet high and is blood red in color. If you look closely, you can see a faint golden glow inside.
Yan Fei formed seals with her jade hands and shouted softly: "Soul, Dragon Swimming!"
A miniature three-legged golden crow appeared behind Yan Fei. It seemed to have consciousness and slowly flew to the top of the sacred Fusang tree, where it began to dance gracefully.
The sacred Fusang tree seemed to be activated. A lot of energy emerged from its core. The branches and leaves that covered the sky rustled for a while, and then fell silent. Everything before seemed to be just a flash in the pan, an illusion in a dream.
Yan Fei frowned slightly: "I sensed the uneasiness of the Fusang sacred tree through the three-legged golden crow, and it seems a little weak."
Before Yan Fei could sort things out, the mountain range where Yu Yuan was located began to shake violently.
The sacred Fusang tree, which had just returned to silence, suddenly emitted thousands of rays of light and merged into the land of Yuyuan, and the mountains no longer shook.
Cheng Jiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He noticed that in the vibration just now, there were traces of special power transmitted, which were very similar to the aura of the Demon God of War and Chi You's sword seen in Loulan.
"Demonic energy..."
The Moon Goddess exclaimed, "Did you notice it, too, Master?"
Yan Fei's expression was solemn: "The Fusang sacred tree has become weaker. If this kind of shock happens a few more times, the Fusang sacred tree will wither."
Cheng Jiao and Yue Shen approached the sacred Fusang tree and realized what Yan Fei meant by weakness.
The energy within the Fusang sacred tree is decreasing. It seems that this Fusang sacred tree is the source of energy that maintains Yu Yuan's seal.
When Cheng Jiao was looking at the sacred tree and wondering if there was any way to help the Fusang sacred tree replenish its energy, an old man wearing a cloth scarf slowly walked up.
"But the King of Chang'an is here? I am Shi Jian, the great elder of Shushan who guards Yuyuan."
Cheng Jiao performed a martial arts salute and said, "I didn't expect that the Great Elder could recognize me."
He seldom appeared in front of outsiders in recent years and almost stayed indoors in Chang'an County.
The Great Elder coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of black blood. "It was Lord Chu Nan who said that the only person in the world who could resolve Yu Yuan's calamity was Lord Cheng Jiao, who opened the Seven Stars of Azure Dragon."
He never expected that the Blue Dragon Seven Stars would be opened so quickly, nor did he expect that the Blue Dragon Seven Stars would be related to the seal that Yu Yuan of Shu Mountain had guarded for thousands of years. "I hope you can keep the seal secure, otherwise once the seal is opened, the demon will reappear in the world, and all lives will be destroyed, and the world will be destroyed."
Cheng Jiao knew that the old man was not exaggerating. He had just used his soul power and was able to sense an extremely powerful aura of destruction under the seal, at least equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul, or even a Divine Lord, the same realm as the Queen Mother of the West.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. I came here this time just to resolve this matter."
The Great Elder was not too happy. Their generations had been guarding the seal of Yu Yuan for thousands of years. They knew how slim the hope was to resolve the matter, unless the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens could seal it and come down to the world again.
"Great Elder, it's bad. Someone in the village has been demonized again. The guards have taken control of them."
A villager dressed simply came running over in a hurry.
The elder's expression changed slightly: "Dear guests, I'm sorry I can't entertain you anymore."
Cheng Jiao was not angry at all, "Great Elder, let's go and take a look together."
The Great Elder: "Okay."
On the way down the mountain to the village, the great elder briefly explained what had happened.
Just as Cheng Jiao had expected, the seal was gradually worn away. Even with the help of the Fusang sacred tree, it was powerless to stop the wisps of demonic energy that leaked out.
The evil spirit that infected and transformed the former god of war Chi You can also transform these ordinary villagers into demons.
If you can cultivate internal strength, you can resist temporarily.
Cheng Jiao walked all the way to this nameless village. The vegetation here was obviously more evil than the vegetation outside.
The village is not big, with about three or four hundred households.
In the open space in the center of the village, three strong men who were tied up were struggling desperately. Their expressions were extremely ferocious and their eyes were full of brutality.
When the Great Elder arrived, he took immediate action to calm the three strong men down and quickly checked their conditions.
After a cup of tea, he sighed helplessly and said, "The evil spirit has already penetrated deeply into their bodies. They had been suppressing it before. The evil spirit that just erupted made it difficult for them to suppress it, and they were directly possessed by the devil."
Cheng Jiao directly used the spiritual power in his body and sent it into the bodies of the three people.
He easily removed the evil spirit from the three people's bodies.
The great elder sighed and said, "Young Master has already entered the realm of immortals and gods. I am still transforming the internal energy in my body into spiritual energy."
He could see that although Cheng Jiao had only injected some spiritual power into the bodies of the three people, the way they used the spiritual power was far beyond his reach.
Cheng Jiao said slowly: "It is also because they have some foundation. If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult for me to easily help them remove the evil spirit in their bodies."
The spiritual power is very good and can dissipate the evil spirit.
But while the demonic energy is being dissipated, the battle is fought using the body of the demonized person as the battlefield.
Without a healthy body, even if the evil spirit in the body is removed, 50 to 60 percent of one's life will be lost.
The great elder looked at the three people who had regained consciousness and clenched the wooden staff in his hand. "Get ready. Tomorrow the whole village will move out of here and go to the Ancient Tree Village a hundred miles away for temporary shelter. The guards Yu Yuan will escort you all the way."
No one in the village objected. Because of the evil spirit, four or five villagers and a guard named Yu Yuan had died in the village.
Everyone started to move, and Cheng Jiao and the Great Elder started chatting on the side.
Learned a lot about Yu Yuan's seal.
Before the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon were opened, nothing happened here, just like a paradise on earth. At most, it was occasionally affected by war, but it passed quickly.
A Yu Yuan guard, with a machete tied around his waist, walked over quickly and whispered a few words into the ear of the great elder.
The Great Elder took a breath and said, "What did you say? Shi Lan was infected by the evil spirit? How is that possible! She was just born not long ago. Where is Zi Qi? How is he taking care of his sister!"
Guard Yu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The villagers just discovered something strange. Ziqi is not doing well now."
The elder calmed down his excitement and said, "Take me there."
Cheng Jiao stood up and said, "I'll go over and take a look too."
He had a good impression of Shi Lan in the original novel, so naturally he would not stand by and watch her die.
The villagers are all preparing for tomorrow's relocation. Apart from them, there is no one else in the great elder's residence.
The Great Elder looked at Shi Lan, who was lying on the couch with a dark face and enduring pain. His eyes turned red as he said, "Her father passed away early. Many days ago, her mother chose to commit suicide because of the evil spirit entering her body and turning her into a demon. Alas!"
Four-year-old Yu Ziqi's eyes turned red and tears kept welling up in his eyes.
Cheng Jiao patted Yu Ziqi's thin shoulders to help him dispel the evil spirit that was about to enter his body.
Afterwards, he carefully investigated Xiao Yu's situation.
"Great Elder, the situation is not good. The evil spirit has entered Xiao Yu's body. Even if the evil spirit is eliminated, I am afraid that Xiao Yu's body..."
Cheng Jiao told the truth.
If Xiao Yu could be ten or eight years old, he could directly eliminate the evil spirit in Xiao Yu's body, and Xiao Yu would be able to recover after recuperation for a year or two at most. Instead of being like now, if he takes action directly, the evil spirit may not be eliminated yet, and Xiao Yu's body will be destroyed first, and even the gods cannot save him.
The Great Elder's lips trembled, "That's all."
Yu Ziqi shouted, "No! My sister can still be saved!"
The Moon Goddess said softly, "Sir, she is not hopeless. Nian Duan has already reached the limit of the celestial being and is in the process of breaking through to the realm of the immortal god. If Nian Duan can break through, I think this problem can be solved."
Cheng Jiao paused and said, "That's right."
Nian Duan had only been helping his women with pregnancy and delivery in the mansion over the years, and he almost forgot about his women, one of whom was the head of a medical family.
Cheng Jiao briefly explained the situation, and the Great Elder immediately said, "Get ready and send Xiao Yu over."
Yan Fei formed seals with her hands and used her spiritual power to set a seal on Xiao Yu to prevent the evil spirit from escaping from Xiao Yu's body.
Cheng Jiao also took action at the same time, imprisoning the evil energy in Xiao Li's body, preventing it from further eroding Xiao Li's body and mind.
After doing all this, Cheng Jiao said to the Great Elder: "I have observed along the way that Yu Yuan's seal will not be broken in a short time. However, just in case, wait a moment, Great Elder, let's go to Yu Yuan's seal. I want to confirm it myself. When everything is clear, I will take Xiao Yu back to Chang'an first."
The elder pondered and said, "Just as you say."
The place where Yu Yuan was sealed now was filled with dense demonic energy and was not accessible to others, but it was not a problem for him and Cheng Jiao.
