In the Azure Sky Hall, a pretty maid with a beautiful figure entered the hall with a jar in her hands, trembling with fear.
On top of the jade platform, there was a flattened monster that looked like a kite lying there. Its body moved up and down, as though it was breathing. It did not have any claws or teeth, as though it was harmless. However, she knew that this was a ferocious monster that the hall master had brought back from somewhere. No matter what kind of beast it was, it would be swallowed by it.
The maidservant did not dare to go near it. She placed the jar down from afar and hurriedly retreated. After she left, she could not help but pat her chest in relief.
However, she immediately revealed a worried expression. "Tomorrow, it will be Sister Qiu's turn to deliver food. However, Sister Qiu is so timid. Once she enters the hall, she probably won't even be able to move. What if the monster suddenly becomes excited and eats her up?"
She and the maidservants were all in the form of kingfishers. Strictly speaking, they were also monsters. As for the segment monster, it was refined from the remains of a Sky Demon. One could imagine how much pressure it exerted on her. Just Now, just getting close to it was enough to make her tremble in fear, not to mention coming to deliver food every day.
At this moment, in the hall, the segmented monster raised its body and floated up from the jade platform. It glided forward and arrived above the jar. Several long tentacles extended from the edge of the jar. With a light sweep, it lifted the jar into the air and flipped it upside down. From the mouth of the jar, a greyish-white pill the size of a longan sprinkled out.
In the belly of the segment monster, there was a long slit, revealing several rows of teeth. It opened its mouth and swallowed. Following that, there was a chewing sound in the hall.
It could not swallow spiritual opportunity like a cultivator. Every day, it could only swallow the medicinal stones it had refined to nourish and strengthen itself.
However, it was still not satisfied. There was always a desire to bite living things and drink fresh blood.
There was a reason for this. Most of the things that formed its body were the remains of a Sky Demon. It was inevitable that it would be tainted with some demonic nature. Although it did not need to swallow blood, it was born with such a nature. It was difficult to get rid of it, or else it would be restless. Just a little provocation would cause it to become ferocious. Hence, every three to five days, it had to swallow a mountain elephant.
Fortunately, the Azure Sky Hall was comparable to half a continent, especially with the plains and tall mountains outside the hall. Over the years, there were many birds and beasts that had multiplied and strengthened here. They formed their own tribe, and this mountain elephant was taken from the Elephant Garden.
However, the Demon Severing Stage's body was growing too quickly. Not long ago, it was already difficult to satisfy a mountain elephant in a few days. However, the maidservant did not notice it and still dealt with it as usual. Therefore, she appeared a little irritable recently.
It could sense that there were countless fresh and delicious food outside the palace. It couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to rush out. However, there was a restriction blocking his way. After ramming against it a few times, he discovered that his entire body was covered in blood. Only the tentacles could reach the outside world. But even so, as soon as he went outside, he would be struck by the lightning, so he could only retreat.
The Segmented Monster let out a few screeches before crouching on the ground with its eyeballs rolling around. He seemed to be thinking of countermeasures. After a long time. Its body wriggled for a while, and then a crack appeared on its body. Then, a strange fragrance was released. It smelled like flowers and fruits, and it also smelled like mushrooms. There were many spirit beasts outside the palace. When they smelled the fragrance, they were all attracted over.
At this time, a Spirit Badger had already leaped onto the steps. This beast was raised by a servant girl, so compared to the other birds and beasts, it was a bit bolder. However, just as it approached, a tentacle stretched out and quickly wrapped around it. Then, it was dragged into the hall with incomparable speed. The birds and beasts outside the door were all frightened away.
The Spirit Badger was wrapped in the Segmented Demon's abdomen. In just a short while, its skin, flesh, bones, and blood had all melted away. After eating its fill, its ferocious aura subsided slightly, and it returned to the jade platform to sleep.
A few days later, spiritual light flashed outside the palace. A clear aura came up from below and vibrated the spiritual bell, causing it to ring endlessly, causing the entire palace to hear it.
When the aura dissipated, Zhang Yan was already standing on the high platform of the Azure Sky Palace.
Su Su had been waiting there since the moment the sound rang out. At that moment, she quickly walked over and bowed. "Greetings, Master."
Zhang Yan looked at her and asked, "Get up. How's the Segmented Demon?"
Su Su replied, "According to the Palace Master's instructions, blood food will be sent to it once in a while, but it's not allowed to eat its fill. However, this strange demon's ferocious aura is getting stronger every day, causing many sisters to not dare to go near it. onad2;”
Zhang Yan asked, "Has anyone been injured?"
Su Su shook her head. "No."
Zhang Yan nodded. It was his intention to send maidservants to deliver the food.
Previously, when the Segmented Demon's intelligence was just born, he had given an order to it that it could devour blood food, but it was not allowed to harm anyone.
As long as this demon could resist doing that, it meant that even when it was hungry, it could still suppress its ferocious nature before he, its master, gave the order. If not, it meant that there was a possibility that it could break free from his control.
At most, in a few decades, he would be competing with all the Perfected Ones in the world. This battle was extremely dangerous, and he could not afford to make any mistakes.
Even if there was a possibility that this demon would not listen to his orders, he would rather destroy it than bring it with him.
He was satisfied with the outcome, so he walked towards the main hall.
Once he entered, the Segmented Demon also noticed his arrival. It immediately revealed a joyful expression and flew into the sky. It kept circling around him and made hissing sounds. However, it was afraid of the spiritual vigor that surged from his body. It seemed to want to get close to him, but it did not dare to get too close.
Zhang Yan's gaze focused on its body. After looking for a while, he suddenly flicked his finger. A sword gleam flew out and instantly slashed a wound on the Segmented Demon's body.
The demon wailed and fell to the ground. It was trembling non-stop. Even though it was inexplicably injured, it did not dare to resist at all. At the same time, the wound healed quickly. In just a breath or two, it returned to its original state.
Zhang Yan nodded slowly. This demon's body was more than ten times stronger than the last time he saw it. When it grew up, it would probably be able to display its true ferocity.
Sky Demons needed to grow with their lifespan before they could produce Almighty Ones. Normally, this process would take tens of thousands of years. However, this Segmented Demon was refined using the Living Refinement Technique. It only needed a few decades to pass this period. By then, he would have another trump card in his hands.
Seeing that the Segmented Demon was still trembling, he said, "Get up and cultivate well. The next time I come, I hope that you can block my sword. Otherwise, you will be useless. onad3;”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall. He said to Su Su, who was waiting at the door, "In the future, double the amount of blood and flesh. The rules are the same as before."
Su Suwan replied: "Yes, your servant obeys."
Zhang Yan flicked his sleeves, and many talismans flew out. He said, "With this talisman on you, you will not have to worry about your life."
Su Su was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him. However, she felt a rainbow flash in front of her. When she looked again, she saw that the beam of light had already left the Green Sky Hall and landed in East Flower.
On an island in the Great Dragon Lake, Ning Chongxuan rode on a breeze and left. As he continued to strike the earth barrier with the Nine Return Pillars, the gap below became wider and wider. Earth Qi surged up and could be harvested with a talisman. There was no need for him to stand guard here.
As for Gan and Ji, they had already done what they needed to do. There was no need for them anymore and they were sent back to the small world.
This time, he wanted to return to the True Purification Hall to cultivate. However, halfway there, he was stopped by a child who said that Sun Zhenren was summoning him.
Since his master was summoning him, he did not hesitate and immediately set off for the Changguan grotto-heaven.
He was very fast and arrived in front of the grotto-heaven in a short while. After reporting, he entered and stood in front of Sun Zhenren. He bowed and greeted, "Disciple greets Master."
Sun Zhenren said, "Since you are already a grotto-heaven, you can dispense with these formalities if you want."
However, Ning Chongxuan insisted on finishing the greeting.
Sun Zhenren shook his head and smiled, "It's up to you."
He returned to the couch and sat down. He said, "Sect Master has been planning for hundreds of years. Soon, it will appear in the world. However, most people in this world are short-sighted. Once the calamity is over, there will not be many who are willing to go to the outer world with me. There will be many who are my enemies. Disciple, you must be careful."
Ning Chongxuan said, "As a disciple, I can only fight with all my strength!"
Sun Zhenren nodded his head and said, "That's right. Sect Master is in charge of the overall situation. As a disciple, it's useless for us to think too much. However, what we need to prepare cannot be omitted. Otherwise, we will only be showing off our bravery and losing our lives in vain."
Ning Chongxuan bowed and said, "Disciple seeks Master's guidance."
Sun Zhenren said, "Now that you have entered the Elephant Realm, you can try to train your fighting skills in these few decades. However, if you want to improve your cultivation, it will not be easy. Especially since you have not opened a grotto-heaven, you will lack a life-saving skill. I think it is inappropriate. After thinking about it, I might as well give you the grotto-heaven that I obtained in the past. Although the senior who opened this grotto-heaven is not compatible with your cultivation, fortunately, you do not need to manage it. "
His Changguan Grotto-Heaven was opened by himself, but there was another grotto-heaven in his hands. This was passed down by the senior, and the Billowing Cloud Secret Book was obtained from it. Because it was a spiritual grotto-heaven, there was no need to refine it from time to time. That was why it was passed down to him.
Ning Chongxuan did not decline. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
Sun Zhenren said, "You are my disciple, of course I should take care of you. It is a pity that Spiritual Master Zhuo's grotto-heaven went beyond the sky with him. Otherwise, I would have begged for it for you even if I had to put down my pride."
Ning Chongxuan said, "After this success, I received a letter from Spiritual Master Zhuo, which recorded the comprehension of the heart, divine arts, and secret arts. I have already benefited a lot from the Dao of the Sword. How would I dare to ask for more?"
Sun Zhenren laughed and said, "I don't think so. If there are benefits, I should fight for it. How can I give in? If there is injustice, I should speak my mind and criticize right and wrong. This is the way to cultivate Dao. "
Without waiting for Ning Chongxuan to speak, he waved his hand again. "Forget it. You have reached this stage, you already have your own Dao. There is no need for me to give you more pointers."
With a flick of his sleeve, a talisman flew down. He said, "This is the entrance talisman that I have refined. Keep it well."
After Ning Chongxuan received it, he placed it in his avatar.
Sun Zhenren said again, "There is one more thing. You do not have a protective treasure with you. In the future, you will be at a disadvantage when you face other cultivators. Even if you refine it now, you will not be able to make it in time. You can only try to borrow a treasure from the Ancestral Hall. The day after tomorrow, Sect Master will summon us to discuss this."
Ning Chongxuan bowed and said, "I will listen to Master's arrangements."
