The situation in the Devil Spring, I only got some related information from the memory of the soul searcher not long ago. It's not that Zhang Ling's soul search was incomplete, but the situation in the Devil Spring, even the Golden Core cultivators here don't know much about it recently.
These people are also coming to Fengmo Island(风魔岛: Wind Devil Island) for the first time, and they only know a general idea. Although there were doubts in his mind, since the Golden Core cultivators dared to come here, he was not afraid at all.
During the descent, a cyclone suddenly appeared under his feet, gradually expanding, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a black vortex several meters in size, and the suction increased a bit.
Zhang Ling just glanced at it slightly, and with a flash of yellow light on his body, he broke away from the suction and fell down from the side. Xuan Gui(玄龟: Black Turtle) also followed closely beside him, without any intention of stopping.
He had already encountered more than a dozen of these black cyclones, some large and some small. Apart from the strong suction, there were no other changes. The duration would not be too long, and they would dissipate on their own after a while.
It looked a bit strange, but they were all spiritual pressure vortices formed by the entanglement of spiritual energy and demonic energy, which did not have much impact on the high-level.
After descending another thousand feet, Zhang Ling noticed that a dazzling white light appeared in the black demonic energy. Seeing the white light, he knew that he was about to reach the inner and outer boundary restriction in the Devil Spring. That is where the alien demons refine demonic energy.
In a moment, the white light below became brighter and brighter, and then he entered a white mist. The mist was very thin, only a thin layer, and the light was emitted from this mist.
Natural spiritual light is not demonic energy, but is transformed from pure heaven and earth spiritual energy. There is also a layer of black mask below the mist. On closer inspection, it is not a black light, but a transparent crystal wall.
Zhang Ling stood on the crystal wall and walked around casually, making a pattering sound of footsteps. It seems that this crystal wall is very stable.
He released a wisp of divine sense to check the crystal wall under his feet. The divine sense encountered a resistance, as if it had fallen into a quagmire. However, this crystal wall was not thick, and he slightly increased the power of his divine sense, and instantly passed through it. He sensed that the crystal wall was only about half an inch thick.
As soon as a wisp of divine sense passed through the crystal wall, Zhang Ling's expression changed slightly. As soon as the divine sense passed through the crystal wall, it immediately fell into a thick layer of demonic energy, and was almost directly swallowed.
Zhang Ling withdrew his divine sense and only stared at the demonic energy below with his naked eyes. This crystal wall is black because it blocks a large amount of pure demonic energy below.
The purity of the demonic energy below is at least five or six times that of the ground.
This is naturally not an ordinary crystal, but also a formation restriction. You can also see some intricate lines in the crystal wall, like some things naturally formed in the crystal.
But these are not natural patterns and lines, but real cracks, but it is difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, and these tiny cracks are changing every moment. Some are healed at once, and some suddenly appear, which is very strange.
These situations were all the results of the divine sense investigation just now. The black mist of demonic energy above is emitted from these cracks.
It seems that although this crystal restriction blocks a large amount of demonic energy, I don't know whether it is because the formation is now weakened, or it was originally like this, it cannot completely suppress the demonic energy, and there is still a lot of demonic energy emanating from below.
Zhang Ling guessed in his heart, and looked around. The more downward the space, the larger the space. This crystal wall is like a wall blocking the center of the Devil Spring.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise not far away. He glanced over there. A hundred feet away in the mist was a short-haired man in the late Golden Core stage. This was a dark-faced man with purple-black patterns tattooed on his face, with a fierce look on his face.
This person sacrificed a shiny giant axe, and a blue light shadow split out, with a loud bang, hitting the crystal wall.
With a crisp crack, the crystal wall within two feet of this person's feet cracked and collapsed, revealing a black hole that could accommodate one person. A thick demonic energy instantly rushed out of it, turning into a black wind.
The dark-faced man's face was overjoyed, and he shouted in a low voice, covered in blue light, and flew down from the crack. His figure flickered a few times, and he disappeared into the endless demonic energy.
The crack opened on the crystal wall was also quickly repaired with the naked eye. Within a few breaths, it was as good as before. Only the demonic energy in that area was enhanced a bit, but it was also spreading quickly.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling was not too surprised.
This person broke through the crystal wall and entered the demonic energy to absorb the pure demonic energy below to wash his own spiritual power.
According to the news obtained from the previous soul search, the Golden Core cultivators who enter it to wash themselves with demonic energy will not enter too deep. Most of them are within a hundred feet below.
Once they sink deeper, they will be in danger themselves. The time should not be too long. If it exceeds one day, some uncontrollable alienations will occur on their bodies.
Fengmo Island(风魔岛: Wind Devil Island) has been opened many times. It is said that every time there are some self-inflicted cultivators who want to absorb more demonic energy, so their bodies become alienated and their temperament changes drastically.
There are even many people who covet demonic energy and are unwilling to leave. The final fate is to become monsters similar to magic beasts. At that level, it is difficult to maintain the original consciousness. If they become complete monsters, it is impossible to leave this island.
After circling around, Zhang Ling only explored a small part of the area. At the same time, he found several other cultivators entering the crystal wall below in the same way.
He didn't delay any longer, and casually shot out two sword lights, opening a big hole in the crystal wall under his feet, and with a flash, he and Xuan Gui(玄龟: Black Turtle) entered it.
Countless black demonic energy surged in, instantly wrapping him and Xuan Gui(玄龟: Black Turtle) in it.
Xuan Gui(玄龟: Black Turtle) opened his mouth and spewed out a cloud of blue ice mist to cover the two of them, blocking the surging demonic energy. Blue Sparrow also flew to his side, and once again released the blue feather, intending to absorb the pure demonic energy around.
Now that he has come to the Devil Spring, Blue Sparrow will naturally not let go of the opportunity. She asked Zhang Ling to collect demonic energy in order to absorb the pure demonic energy in the magic crystal.
"Eh?"
Zhang Ling suddenly let out a soft doubt, revealing a strange look. Then, with a flash of yellow light on his body, he waved his hand casually, and a piece of yellow light sprinkled out, and the demonic energy within a dozen feet around was suddenly swept away, all of which were shaken away.
"What are you doing?"
His sudden move startled Blue Sparrow and shouted angrily.
"Sorry." Seeing Blue Sparrow's angry look, Zhang Ling inexplicably felt a little funny in his heart, and quickly explained. "Hehe, as soon as I passed through this crystal layer, the suppression of my cultivation disappeared, and I can exert all my strength here. I couldn't help but try it just now. Did I scare you, senior?"
"What, you have recovered your cultivation?"
Blue Sparrow was stunned for a moment, flapped her wings a few times, tilted her head and sensed something, nodded and snorted. "Hmph, it turns out that this crystal wall isolates the formation restriction on the island."
Zhang Ling looked up at the crystal wall. The crack that had just been opened had returned to its original state. At this time, the second Yuanshen(元神: nascent divinity) could also exert all the strength of Xuan Gui(玄龟: Black Turtle), and the suppression force on his body also disappeared.
Could it be that this crystal wall is formed by other formation restrictions, which is different from the formation restriction on the island, otherwise how could it isolate the sealing power above?
"Now that you can exert all your strength, you might as well go deeper and see. Maybe there will be some other gains. In places with such a strong demonic energy, some special spiritual objects will be born." Blue Sparrow suggested.
Zhang Ling pondered for a while and nodded. After all, he had come and recovered his cultivation, so it would be okay to go to the depths to investigate.
An hour later, in the endless demonic energy, Zhang Ling and Xuan Gui(玄龟: Black Turtle) were collecting pieces of rhombus-shaped magic stones on a purple-glowing rock wall.
Blue Sparrow was dancing beside him, releasing the blue feather that absorbed demonic energy to absorb pure demonic energy. As it absorbed a large amount of demonic energy, most of this feather was transformed into ink black. It also became a lot bigger, and the black light shone like an iron pillar feather.
Blue Sparrow occasionally spit out wisps of golden silk threads that sank into the feathers. Let the feathers emit some strange golden spiritual patterns.
Although Zhang Ling was collecting magic stones, he was also paying attention to Blue Sparrow's movements at all times. He was extremely surprised in his heart.
The feathers released by this guy absorbed a lot of pure demonic energy, and the degree of demonic energy emitted was not weaker than the top magic treasure. It could still absorb it, as if it were a bottomless pit.
Blue Sparrow clearly has no physical body, and the transformed spiritual body is only the size of a sparrow, and it has such a strange method.
Zhang Ling asked himself that with his current strength, he did not have the means to quickly absorb so much pure demonic energy.
Demonic energy is more difficult to control than ordinary heaven and earth spiritual power, and it is extremely overbearing. There is a great risk in controlling so much demonic energy. However, the demonic energy gathered on the small feathers is very stable, and there is nothing abnormal.
Could it be that this guy's body is practicing demonic skills, otherwise how could he have this method?
However, Blue Sparrow himself has no demonic energy, and the transformed bird spirit body is only a virtual body transformed by ordinary spiritual power, and the spiritual pressure is only equivalent to a seventh-order monster.
The one who absorbs demonic energy is always the blue feather released. I don't know how many amazing methods this guy has, Zhang Ling was thinking wildly in his heart.
The surrounding demonic energy was surging wildly, and a muffled sound of Chi Chi(嗤嗤: Chi Chi sound) came from hitting his body.
Zhang Ling sacrificed Huang Luo Umbrella(黄罗伞: Yellow Luo Umbrella) to protect himself, and a layer of black-silver shield also appeared on Xuan Gui(玄龟: Black Turtle)'s body to resist the impact of demonic energy.
The area he is in now is more than two thousand feet away from the crystal wall above. The demonic energy is already extremely terrifying. But it is still not at the bottom, and the bottom is still full of endless demonic energy. I don't know how deep the Devil Spring is.
After a while, Zhang Ling shook a storage bag in his hand. "I have collected three or four thousand magic stones, and the harvest is not small. Although most of them are low-grade magic stones, there are also thousands of middle-grade magic stones." Saying that, he asked Blue Sparrow. "Is the demonic energy collected by senior enough? If we go further down, I will hardly be able to withstand the impact of the demonic energy."
"What, are you satisfied with some magic stones? There may be top-grade magic crystal jade, spirit magic flower, blood magic stone and other magic treasures in this magic energy." Blue Sparrow turned her head and glanced at him, snorting with extreme contempt.
"If there are really these kinds of magic materials, I will naturally not let them go. But I have searched around the nearby area, and I have not encountered anything other than magic stones. Even if there are really rare materials, I am afraid that they have been searched by the alien demon monks long ago. How could they be left to us?" Zhang Ling shook his head expressionlessly.
"Hehe, you have some thoughts."
"This place is not completely closed. The alien demon monks will come once every few hundred years, and it has been opened more than ten times. Even if it may have originally bred some magic treasures, they must have fallen into the hands of the alien demons long ago, otherwise how could this place be left to the Golden Core monks to find treasures?" Zhang Ling smiled helplessly.
As long as you think about it a little, you can think of this result. His biggest purpose in coming here is to accompany Blue Sparrow to absorb demonic energy. Finding treasures is secondary.
"Perhaps it's really like what you said, but there is definitely still a spiritual object left here, it depends on whether you want to get it or not." Blue Sparrow was silent for a while and smiled strangely.
Zhang Ling raised his eyebrows, realizing that Blue Sparrow's descent into the depths of the Devil Spring may not be purely to absorb pure demonic energy. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still asked curiously. "What treasure? Let senior be so concerned."
"Have you ever heard of True Devil Qi?"
Blue Sparrow twisted her small head and looked at Zhang Ling, and spit out a few words seriously in a childish voice.
Zhang Ling's heart sank. He had seen True Devil Qi in the classics. It is said to be extremely pure demonic energy, which only ancient demons can master. The ancient demons who possess True Devil Qi can perform extremely powerful supernatural powers. These ancient demons once made the ancient monks suffer a lot.
"True Devil Qi, the pure demonic energy refined by the ancient demon world, is not comparable to ordinary demonic energy, and has spirituality. If you can refine a trace of True Devil Qi, your strength will definitely increase greatly, and even break through a small realm in an instant." Blue Sparrow said faintly, with temptation in his tone.
"Hehe, I don't practice magic skills, and I can't refine any True Devil Qi, and I don't want to become a monster-like existence."
"Ancient demons are not the strange-looking monsters you think. Many of them are beautiful in the eyes of the human race. Those Mahayana True Devil Saints are mostly human-shaped. And this group of so-called alien demons are just relatively low-level demonized creatures. If you are willing to switch to magic skills, I have several top magic skills here, which are very suitable for you to practice. I am confident that you can be promoted to the late Yuanying(元婴: nascent soul) stage within a hundred years. Are you interested?" Blue Sparrow's tempting voice came again.
Late Yuanying(元婴: nascent soul) stage within a hundred years, this really moved Zhang Ling a bit.
He has been condensing Yuanying(元婴: nascent soul) for thirty or forty years. Although he usually has a lot of pills to assist in his cultivation, the progress is not very fast. At least a hundred years will be used for such cultivation to be promoted to the middle Yuanying(元婴: nascent soul) stage.
If you encounter a bottleneck in cultivation again, the time will be longer. As for the late Yuanying(元婴: nascent soul) stage, he never considered that he could reach it in two or three hundred years.
Blue Sparrow is so tempting him to practice magic skills, could it be that there is some thought in it.
Zhang Ling's expression changed, and he thought that this guy might be seeing that his progress was slow and wanted him to quickly reach the late Yuanying(元婴: nascent soul) stage to help him quickly break the seal of Tianyuan(天渊: Sky Abyss).
