"This is the Bamboo Cloud-Locking Formation, a reward given to the winner by the Immortals. After it's set up, it only needs to grow for three years before it can be connected to the sect's mountain roots. Clouds and mist will form on normal days to seal off the mountain range. If one's cultivation is insufficient and enters without permission, they will be lost. If a strong enemy attacks, it can withstand three full-force attacks from a True Immortal … "The Immortal girl's tone was calm as she slowly introduced the formation.
Then, with a light tap of her slender finger, the floating disk lit up, and a shadow of light emerged from it.
Shen Luo looked over and saw 72 purple-green bamboo shadows appear in the shadow. They were scattered in all directions, swaying slightly as if a breeze was blowing.
In an instant, smoke rose from the bamboo shadows and spread out, covering the entire shadow.
"This is good stuff. Even a mid-level sect might not have such a protective formation," someone below the stage exclaimed.
"This guy is going to make a killing this time …"
"Do you know which sect he's from? I wonder if they're willing to give up this formation …"
…
There was a lot of discussion below the stage. Some people were already planning to buy the Bamboo Cloud-Locking Formation and use it as their own protective formation.
Shen Luo also liked this thing very much. Naturally, he did not want to sell it. The Temple of Spring and Autumn lacked such treasures.
The discussion below the stage was still ongoing. The Six-Tusked Demon Elephant of the Demons had already walked out. It looked around coldly and quickly suppressed the discussion in the square.
"The Demons reward the winner with a piece of Mo Lin Armor. It has 36 layers of restrictions. Its defense is not weak, and it can absorb Devil Qi," the Six-Tusked Demon Elephant said.
As soon as it finished speaking, the discussion below the stage started again.
"A piece of Mo Lin Armor? What kind of reward is that? Humans can't use your Devil Qi …"
"Absorb Devil Qi? What for? Corrode yourself?"
"It's useless. You Demons prepared this thing for your own people, right?"
…
"Noisy."
The Six-Tusked Demon Elephant roared angrily. A powerful aura swept out, and the surroundings quieted down again.
"Ignorant fool, how dare you speak nonsense? This Mo Lin Armor is indeed more suitable for Demons, but it can be used by the other two races as well. The Demonic Qi absorbed into the Mo Lin Armor will be stored within the armor. When attacked, it can be released to protect the wearer. "The Six-Tusked Demon Elephant suppressed its anger and explained.
After hearing this, everyone pondered for a moment before coming back to their senses.
Be it humans or immortals, if they wore this demonic armor, they would not have to worry about being contaminated by the Demons' demonic aura. On the contrary, the more demonic aura the enemy released, the stronger their defense would be.
He felt as if he was in an invincible position.
When Shen Luo heard this, the gloomy feeling in his heart gradually dissipated, and his mood improved a little.
After that, Cheng Yaojin and the others announced their points one after another, giving out rewards according to their rankings.
The curtains to the Three Realms Martial Meet that could be called the first of its kind had finally come to an end.
…
Evening, in a secret room in the Great Tang government office.
Shen Luo sat alone with Cheng Yaojin, the former silent and the latter frowning.
"Is what you said true?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Shen Luo and asked again.
Previously, there was no way for the outside world to see what had happened to Shen Luo underground, so they did not know exactly what had happened.
"Senior, I am very sure that the Demonic Qi contained in the Demonic Orb hidden in the Demonic Void Earth Dragon's Demonic Core definitely came from Chi You, and it is very pure," Shen Luo said again, nodding.
"I believe you … but after you came out, the immortals, the immortals, and that person from Tianji City all checked you out. We did not feel a trace of Chi You's Demonic Qi." Cheng Yaojin stood up and paced around.
"This matter is really strange. After the Demonic Orb fell into Li Zhu's hands and merged with her, the aura that originally belonged to Chi You disappeared. At that time in the Secret Territory, I already felt it." Shen Luo said.
"If that's the case, we can't produce any evidence." Cheng Yaojin sighed and said.
"Senior, wasn't the Three Realms Martial Meet jointly set up by the humans, immortals, and demons? How could there be such a flaw?" Shen Luo could not help but ask.
"The Demons and Immortals were the ones who did their best to facilitate this. They each had their own ideas. There were actually other opportunities and risks in the Secret Territory that were not triggered this time. However, the Demons must have done something about the Demonic Void Earth Dragon. "Cheng Yaojin pondered for a moment and said.
"Senior, forgive me for speaking bluntly. The Three Realms Martial Meet was not set up properly, and the Demons and Immortals have unclear intentions. There is really no need to continue holding it." Shen Luo frowned and said.
"This … this matter actually involves a lot of factors, including the balance of power between the three races. This time, you have won the leadership for the human race. It can be said that you have contributed greatly. However, in the end, this can only be regarded as a test of the waters. The number of people participating in the next Three Realms Martial Meet will be ten times, or even a hundred times. "Cheng Yaojin said again.
Shen Luo heard this and sighed in his heart.
He knew what Cheng Yaojin meant by the balance of power between the Human, Devil, and Immortal races.
It was just that with his current strength, he could not control this matter at all. He could only temporarily give up.
However, Shen Luo always felt that this Three Realms Martial Meet was very unusual. There should be a lot of things behind it that he did not know, so even if the Tang government did not pursue the matter, he did not intend to give up the investigation.
"Is your body okay? Has it been contaminated by the Demonic Qi?" Cheng Yaojin asked.
"Previously, most of the Demonic Qi had been absorbed by the Separation Pearl. I have checked myself, and it is not a big problem." Shen Luo shook his head and said.
Cheng Yaojin had intended to check on Shen Luo carefully, but after hearing him say so, he could only give up.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this first. What are your plans next? Do you want to do something similar to Lu Huaming's job? I dare not say anything else, but the salary is not bad. "Cheng Yaojin asked again.
"Senior, have you forgotten? I still have to take care of the Spring and Autumn Temple. "Shen Luo smiled and said.
"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot. Haha … this time, you opened the Secret Realm for the winner of this trial. The imperial court and the government will support the development of the Spring and Autumn Temple according to the agreement to develop into a medium-sized sect. "Cheng Yaojin slapped his forehead and laughed loudly.
"Senior, I would like to temporarily seal off the mountain after the government hands over the deeds of the mountains near Mount Qinghua. It would be best for the Spring and Autumn Temple to do all the construction work ourselves," Shen Luo said.
"At this time, shouldn't you take advantage of the fame to expand the recruitment of disciples? Why did you choose to seal off the mountain?" Cheng Yaojin asked in surprise.
"The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I know the principle of this. Although the Spring and Autumn Temple is in the limelight now, its foundation is still lacking. If we don't stabilize the foundation at this time and blindly expand, it will only bury more hidden dangers, "Shen Luo said slowly.
"You have a calm personality. This is indeed better. As for the construction of the sect's facilities, the imperial court will send officials from the Ministry of Works to coordinate with you. As for the Immortal Clan's protective formation, after the sect's facilities are completed, I will let Lu Huaming personally send it to you. Before that, I will try my best to let the Imperial Tutor take a look at it to prevent any hidden dangers, "Cheng Yaojin said.
"Immortal Clan …" Shen Luo said hesitantly.
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "Haha … now that the three clans are united, unlike before, we have to be wary of the Immortal Clan. But don't worry, even if your Spring and Autumn Temple becomes a medium-sized sect, it will not be a big deal. It won't attract the Immortal Clan's attention. Letting the Imperial Tutor take a look is just a precaution. Who knows, he might even be able to help improve it. "
"Thank you, Senior and Imperial Tutor." Shen Luo cupped his fists and bowed.
