Why hadn't the Sorcerer Tribe discovered any abnormalities in the earth veins for ten thousand years?
If one analyzed it carefully, they might be able to come up with many explanations. For example, the power of the Magi's essence soul was congenitally insufficient, they did not have a perfect concept of "medicine", they were not good at such array formations, there were many underground meridians in the North Continent, and so on.
However, Li Changshou discovered the real reason after walking around the Witch tribe a few times.
The Shaman accepted his fate.
When they discovered that there were not enough new Shamans, they should have thought of many ways, but when they repeatedly ran into a wall and could not find the reason, they blamed it on the heavens' punishment and the world's ceasing to exist as Shamans. They endured it silently.
The Magi were losers in the ancient times.
When Emperor Huang Xuanyuan fought Chi You, the Magi rashly stood on the side of the Witch Tribe and supported them. They had also used up their last bit of luck. Slowly dying in the North Continent was their fate …
This was the reason why the Sorcerer Tribe had not been able to find the root of the problem.
When a race could not find its own position on the stage of the Untainted Land and lost the motivation to fight, what awaited them was endless degeneration after encountering obstacles.
Objectively speaking, the Demon Race, who still held the hope of resurgence, clearly had more fighting spirit, so they were more energetic.
Of course, to the human race, the demon race was also a greater threat.
If the human race lost themselves like this one day and didn't know why they existed or lost their destination, would they be replaced by other races as the protagonists of the world?
Perhaps.
Complicated thoughts flashed through Li Changshou's mind one after another. He quickly suppressed these distracting thoughts and began to think about the most important matter at the moment!
Hurry!
How could he unknowingly satisfy the curiosity of the leader of the "Primordial Exploration"!
The Jade Emperor's interest had been aroused by this matter. The two of them had just escaped into the Earth Vein Formation …
"Changgeng, look, there's a strange Dao rune in this earth vein!"
Before he could escape more than two hundred feet into the earth vein, the Jade Emperor shouted excitedly again …
"Look, there are signs that the vein has been modified. There are also some restrictions that guide the spiritual power here!"
They traveled north along the earth vein for about two hours …
"Chang Geng, why is there such abundant water spiritual energy in front of us? Could it be that we've already reached the vital area of the Earth Vein? "
Li Changshou could only reply calmly,
"Your Majesty, we've reached the North Sea. We've … gone in the wrong direction."
Zhao Dezhu smiled embarrassedly. The two of them turned back from the bottom of the North Sea and headed south along the ley line.
Li Changshou thought about it carefully. It wasn't easy for the Jade Emperor either.
In the ancient times, the Jade Emperor Queen Mother had just given birth to consciousness when she was subdued by the Dao Ancestor.
After the Jade Emperor transformed, he was locked up in the Purple Cloud Palace. As he cultivated, he served tea and became a servant. The living beings he came into contact with were all boring mighty figures, like the Six Saint Demon Emperors.
Suddenly, one day, the Jade Emperor was informed to officially take up his post and take over … the Three Realms.
It was indeed quite stressful.
Therefore, although it was only his incarnation that was experiencing these novel things, it was already a precious immortal life experience for the Jade Emperor!
Li Changshou muttered in his heart, "Should I design a few scripts and hire a few actors to let the Jade Emperor experience more life?"
It was possible, but it would take more effort.
But …
It was too expensive.
Now, he had the merit of a third-rank Deity Position and was doing more work than a second-rank Deity Position Duke Dongmou. It was not easy for him to bear the risk of being a first-rank Deity Position "representative".
I'd better not add scenes to myself easily!
The two of them quietly hid in the earth meridians. With Li Changshou's current Earth Escape technique, although the concealment was not as good as Daoist Duobao's cave, it was not something that ordinary Gold God could detect …
After returning to the starting point of the investigation and traveling more than 5,000 kilometers south, Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor's incarnation, Zhao Dezhu, discovered something unusual at the same time.
"Changgeng, this earth meridian seems to have been connected."
"Your Majesty, please take a look. There are spirit stream patterns in the earth meridians. The spirit stream patterns in the front and back clearly do not match."
The two of them looked at each other.
Zhao Dezhu smiled and said, "I can be sure that the problem is with this earth meridian!"
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there are no absolutes in the world.
"Your Majesty, there are no absolutes in the world. To be safe, it's better to investigate to the end.
Why don't we let Ao Yi send Princess Long Ji back to the Celestial Court first? Then, we will bring Ox-head and Horse-face to follow behind.
In case we encounter any trouble, there will be someone outside to receive us. "
"Sure!"
Zhao Dezhu agreed and carefully probed the earth meridian with his immortal senses.
He was inexplicably excited.
Li Changshou quickly made the arrangements …
As the saying goes, the old instructs the young, and the old instructs the young.
At that moment, Li Changshou placed a series of heavy burdens on Ao Yi's shoulders!
Under the arrangements of the Hierarch's brother, Ao Yi had to send Princess Long Ji back to the Celestial Court first before mobilizing the Heavenly River Navy. After doing that, he had to return to the North Continent to pick up Ox-head, Horse-face, and the other eight experts of the Magi race. He had to follow Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor's incarnation in the sky.
Ao Yi did not hesitate. He transformed into the Azure Dragon True Body and carried Long Ji on his back. He rushed to the North Ocean and rushed to the North Heavenly Gate …
When Ao Yi rushed back and picked up the eight experts of the Magi race, the latter also experienced the rare pleasure of riding a dragon to the sky.
Ao Yi's thoughts were quite thorough.
In order to avoid being detected by the demons, he brought the eight experts of the Magi race from the North Ocean to the sky. Then, he used the mystical abilities of the Dragons to wrap himself in clouds and quietly passed through the sea of clouds.
Soon, Ao Yi heard the voice transmission from the paper effigy beside him. He adjusted the direction and speed of his flight and slowly followed.
However, to Li Changshou, Zhao Dezhu, and Ao Yi's surprise …
They had originally thought that the end of the problematic earth meridian should be at the border between the North Continent and the Middle Continent.
That was the strongest territory of the demons. There were many remnants of ancient demons. They were indeed a tough nut to crack.
Those old demons were gathered at the border between the North Continent and the Middle Continent to attack the Magi at any time!
However, the earth meridian was continuously connected and twisted in the depths of the earth. It actually spread all the way to the border between the Aparagodānīya Continent and the Middle Continent. Then, it took a huge turn and continued to extend towards the south!
Just the amount of work needed to move the earth meridian was enough to prove that this matter was not a trivial matter!
Zhao Dezhu sighed and said, "How much do the demons hate the Magi? They actually used such a secret plan to exterminate them."
Li Changshou said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's best if your incarnation doesn't go.
According to my deductions, there might be a tiger's den ahead.
My incarnation technique is a trick. If it's destroyed, you can refine it with precious materials. Your Majesty, if your incarnation is damaged, I'm afraid it will harm your own Dao … "
"It's fine. It's a small matter." Zhao Dezhu smiled. "If this incarnation is damaged, it will only be a portion of my merit.
My essence soul is covered by the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Nothing can invade it. "
"Then, I'll be more at ease."
Hence, the two incarnations of the Celestial Court's special attack team set off again. They hid in the earth meridian and headed south.
After walking for tens of thousands of kilometers, they arrived at the border between the South Continent, the Middle Continent, and the Aparagodānīya Continent. Layers of blood-colored barriers appeared in the earth meridian …
Li Changshou and Zhao Dezhu looked at each other. They crawled out of the earth meridian and bypassed the barriers. After traveling for three to four hundred kilometers underground, they saw a protective array formation.
The array formation was 40,000 feet underground and enveloped a "ball" with a diameter of 50 kilometers. It was several times stronger than the mountain-protecting array formation of the Duxian Gate!
Through the array formation, they could vaguely sense that there was a huge underground universe behind it …
A golden sword appeared in Zhao Dezhu's hand. He sent a voice transmission. "Changgeng, shall we attack forcefully?"
Li Changshou stared at Zhao Dezhu's sword. Why did he feel that the power of the Heavenly Dao in this sword was several times stronger than the Heavenly Emperor Demon-Slaying Sword that he had once used …
Yes, don't dwell on this detail.
"I should be able to break this array formation. Let's go in and take a look first," Li Changshou replied with a smile. Then, he slowly walked forward and took out a round disc from his sleeve.
There were Yin-Yang fish engraved on the disc. At that moment, Li Changshou injected Taiqing immortal power into it. The pair of Yin-Yang fish seemed to have come to life. They rotated gently and condensed into a shallow Taiji Painting.
That was not the power of the treasure. It was a small … toy in Li Changshou's trump card.
The Taiji Painting fused into the array wall without any obstruction, leaving a round hole.
Li Changshou took out a paper effigy from his sleeve and placed it outside the cave. Then, he handed two talismans to Zhao Dezhu and entered the array formation with the Jade Emperor's incarnation.
This time, he had "accidentally" barged into the lair of the negative karma demon …
The talismans on their bodies lit up slightly, and their figures disappeared. The Taiji Painting behind them slowly dissipated, and the array wall did not fluctuate at all.
Zhao Dezhu silently praised it.
In front of him, a pitch-black mountain floated in the middle of the underground hole that the array formation had cut off.
There was a jade-green pool on the top of the mountain. There were sixteen huge piles of white bones around the pool, emitting a strange fluctuation.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, he could see a large number of Cave Abodes that had been dug out everywhere on the mountain.
What Zhao Dezhu saw on the demon mountain were astonishingly powerful demonic beasts.
Li Changshou looked over and saw a mountain of merit!
"Your ability to enter the array formation can be said to be superb!
What should we do next? "
"Your Majesty, since we've found this place, we should first investigate the matter regarding the Magi and then get rid of the negative karma demon here. Only then can we protect the righteous path of the universe and show off Your Majesty's might!"
The Jade Emperor's incarnation nodded and asked, "There are hundreds of experts from the demon race here. Are we their opponents?"
After saying that, Zhao Dezhu felt that something was amiss and added, "I naturally don't feel sorry for this incarnation.
I'm just afraid that I'll alert the enemy and let this group of demons escape. "
"Although there are many experts of the demon race here, there are very few Dao runes of the Zenith Heaven. Moreover, all of them are plagued by negative karma and are tied down by luck."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have a small technique that can instantly collapse this place and not leave their corpses intact!
However, to be safe, we should investigate first and find the source of the matter regarding the Magi. We should give the Magi a proper explanation. "
"Sure!"
Zhao Dezhu smiled and squinted. "Then, I'll see your abilities today."
Li Changshou bowed and said, "I understand."
Then, he turned around and looked at the mountain hidden underground. He was eager to give it a try.
Merit!
A huge amount of merit!
I don't have to sacrifice my life or shed my blood!
I can secretly bury a set of Spiritual Explosion paper effigies and easily take the merit home. At the same time, I can destroy the source of the place. The matter regarding the Magi will naturally be resolved!
At that moment, Li Changshou's mind was filled with thoughts and he began to operate on multiple fronts.
First, he informed Ao Yi and the others to hide further away and hide in the sky.
Then, he released a paper effigy and carefully investigated the terrain on the ground.
He released his immortal senses and realized that it was the territory of the demons. There were many demons, and there were a few powerful demon kings active on the ground.
That should be a cover for the demons.
Li Changshou quickly targeted a small demon that was patrolling the mountain. He carried the paper effigy and quietly approached it. While the other party was playing the clapper and singing the mountain song, he knocked the small demon unconscious and carried it to the side of the forest.
What was worth mentioning was that he was a male demon. Li Changshou was only interrogating him about the power of the demons there. He would not do anything strange.
At the same time, Li Changshou and Zhao Dezhu went to the top of the underground mountain and began to investigate the altar.
What even the Jade Emperor's incarnation did not realize was that the underground array formation had been melted by the Taiji Painting again.
A paper effigy that was specially used for "Spiritual Explosion" quietly entered the mountain with a set of paper effigies. It tried its best to hide its tracks and hid in the lower half of the mountain.
Everything was ready and could be activated at any time!
Everything was progressing smoothly. Li Changshou and Zhao Dezhu quietly reached the pool at the top of the mountain and carefully investigated the arrangements there.
According to Li Changshou's understanding of array formations, the sixteen piles of bones were the foundation of the array formation. The center of the pool was the eye of the array formation. The array formation formed a strange flow of spiritual energy that connected to the earth meridian that they had been searching for for a long time.
Of course, the array formations there were very complicated. Just the connection point between the ground and the bottom of the pool had several overlapping array formations!
After comprehending the spiritual energy of the array formations, Li Changshou had already come to a conclusion.
The overall arrangement there was like a "water pump" that extracted the True Spirit. Using the earth meridian, it sucked the True Spirit over from a long distance and trapped it in the pool!
Li Changshou and the others followed the earth meridian and saw the complicated restrictions along the way. They all echoed the array formations there!
Clearly, that was the answer to the Magi's question.
The demons' scheme of the Magi was right in front of Li Changshou!
Li Changshou silently took out a few Shadow-Retaining Spheres to preserve enough evidence.
In fact, what made Li Changshou feel that the demons there deserved to die was the pile of bones that had been refined into the array foundation …
These were all the flesh and blood bodies of mortals who had been imprisoned here tens of thousands of years ago. Each of their bones had been covered with restrictive spells, and their souls had been refined into Evil Souls …
He did not know what kind of evil array it was, but it was extremely heartless!
Although humans and demons were opposing each other and had been fighting for years since ancient times, the human Qi Refinement cultivators had eliminated demons. They rarely tortured the demons.
However, the demons were often so ferocious when dealing with unarmed mortals …
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched slightly. He asked the paper effigy hiding outside the array formation to take out the second set of Spiritual Explosion Set and bury it outside the array formation. It would be activated together later.
The double spirit explosion was stable and ensured that no demon ashes would be left behind!
At that moment, Zhao Dezhu sent a voice transmission.
"Changgeng, the heavenly secrets have appeared. The children of the Magi who have yet to be born are trapped here by the array formation."
Li Changshou, who was about to say the word "attack", was slightly stunned. He immediately said, "There are still restrictions in this pool that we can't see through."
"Let me do it." The Jade Emperor's incarnation closed his eyes. Wisps of Heavenly Dao power quietly spread out without alarming any living beings there.
The Jade Emperor had used the Heavenly Dao to investigate. He had given the demons there enough face.
Not long after, the Jade Emperor pointed at Li Changshou's paper effigy. A wisp of Heavenly Dao power was added to Li Changshou's paper effigy, allowing Li Changshou to see the hidden situation in the pool.
At the bottom of the pool, there were three huge bronze toads squatting. They opened their mouths and spat out wisps of jade-green flames.
These flames ignored the pond water and wrapped around a green sword. The sword contained an astonishing aura of life, causing this scene to be filled with a strange feeling …
There were three demon experts on the heads of the three bronze toad statues.
Zhao Dezhu looked at Li Changshou and asked, "Changgeng, what should we do?"
Li Changshou frowned slightly and felt conflicted …
At that moment, he had already understood.
The sword contained the newborn children that the Magi should have had for ten thousand years. At that moment, there was a high chance that they could not be saved. However, there was also a possibility that the True Spirit in the sword could be sent back to reincarnation.
Moreover, that sword should be an important treasure of the demons. The three old demons also had the expression "I'm not easy to deal with" written all over their faces …
There was an 80% chance that it would be a waste of effort. There was a 30% chance that they would let a small half of the demons go.
If he did not snatch the sword and directly flatten the place, the success rate would be 98%. Moreover, the True Spirits of the Magi had been refined by the demons. They would not add any negative karma to him …
Li Changshou squinted and made a decision in the blink of an eye.
"Your Majesty, I want to see if I can snatch that sword and see if I can release the True Spirit in it.
The Magi have a request, and I have a response. I don't want to go back on my word like I did in the East Ocean. "
The Jade Emperor smiled and nodded slowly. "My schemes are inferior to Changgeng's. Changgeng, feel free to make arrangements. It's fine even if my incarnation lands here."
Li Changshou's heart warmed. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he said firmly, "Your Majesty, there's no time like the present.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This time, why don't we take advantage of the opportunity to promote the dignity of the Celestial Court and cause a huge commotion for the demons! "
