There is a strange object in the Taoism community named the Demon Defending Monument.
This object is not a treasure and nobody knows who created it. All they know is that there are very few of them and they are extremely rare. The effect of this tablet was just like its name. It had an extremely powerful ability.
Suppresses demons.
Suppresses all demons.
Though the effect is simple, it is extremely powerful. It can ignore the realm and capability. Even the weakest cultivator of the first layer of qi training could use this to suppress a demon king.
This demon refers to the demons that are naturally born from Heaven and Earth. It also refers to the living beings that have fallen into the demonic path.
If this monument is used, then no matter how powerful a demon is, they will be easily suppressed. In other words, this monument is the nemesis of all demons. No matter how powerful you are, there is nothing you can do.
During the lost century, Ling Xian was fortunate enough to have seen the Demon Defending Monument once and learned more about it.
The Demon Defending Monument's original appearance was pitch black and there were no bloody carvings on it. When a demon is trapped inside, then bloody carvings will appear on the surface of the monument. Only when the demon dies will the carvings disappear.
The more carvings there are, the more powerful the demon inside is.
This was why when he saw the bloody carvings on the monument, Ling Xian's expression changed. When he saw that there were five bloody carvings, his expression changed and he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
If the cultivation levels are divided according to the number of carvings, then the meditational level has one carving and the foundational level has two carvings. Based on this, one would know what the five carvings represent.
A cultivation level that surpasses the original level!
He was truly a peerless demon!
Therefore, why wouldn't Ling Xian be shocked? With his cultivation level today, he has to look up to those of the original level, let alone those who have surpassed the original level!
However, since he has encountered this monument, then he has to solve this problem.
Because legend has it that anyone who encounters the Demon Defending Monument will be locked onto by the demon inside. As long as the demon doesn't die, it will be locked onto by the demon's aura, causing all sorts of negative effects to occur.
For example, failing to break through. This was why Ling Xian said that encountering this monument would bring him countless troubles.
Of course, he could choose to stand by and watch and let Wang Yang and Lin Ying suffer. However, he had other plans in mind, which was why he took on this matter.
After all, this was a peerless demon. If done properly, then he would have a super bodyguard, which would be enough for him to do whatever he wanted in the Yunzhou.
On top of that, Ling Tian Xiang had already turned into a demon. There was no guarantee that she wouldn't grow to a terrifying level in the future. Even someone as strong as Ling Xian had to look up to her.
Therefore, he needed this tombstone in case of emergencies.
As for how to deal with the demon inside, that would require communication. That was why he said, "Let's hope this is a kind stele," referring to the Devil King sealed inside.
Currently, Ling Xian was standing on top of the mountain peak. He raised his hand and summoned multiple hand seals that completely sealed off the monument.
Though he understood that with the natural array of the Demon Defending Monument, the demon would not be able to escape, it was still a powerhouse. How could he not be cautious?
"Phew, I hope the demon sealed inside has its own consciousness and is easier to communicate with." Ling Xian exhaled deeply. He manipulated the Golden Dan inside his body to maintain his peak condition.
Then, his hands formed into a mysterious sound and he sent a message into the Demon Defending Monument.
"The demon inside, I know you are not dead and I can communicate with you. Come, let's talk."
The transmission of spiritual energy was like a rock sinking into the ocean – not a single ripple was seen.
Nobody answered Ling Xian, and not a single ripple was seen. However, he was not in a rush. Instead, he patiently waited for a reply.
Thanks to the lost century, Ling Xian knew everything about the Demon Defending Monument. Even the secrets that not many people knew about were known to him.
Therefore, Ling Xian was not in a rush.
After waiting like this for a long time, the Demon Defending Monument finally sent out a message. It was filled with a shocking amount of demonic energy.
"You sure are knowledgeable. You recognized the Demon Defending Monument right away."
The moment the voice trailed off, a shocking amount of demonic energy poured out of it. Immediately, the sky darkened and the mountains lost their color!
"Trying to scare me?"
Ling Xian frowned slightly, but he was not afraid. Though this demon was powerful, it was sealed after all. The attacks it unleashed were equivalent to the intermediate stage of the completion level. Why would he be afraid?
Rolling up his sleeve, the demonic energy in the sky dissipated and the world returned to normal.
"It is no wonder you are a powerhouse that surpassed the original level. Even after being sealed by the Demon Defending Monument, you can still unleash such powerful attacks." Ling Xian complimented. His handsome face was somewhat happy.
Through that message, he was certain that the demon inside the monument had its own consciousness and was not a monster that only knew how to kill.
"No wonder you have the guts to talk to me. Not only do you know so much about the Demon Defending Monument, but you also have some capabilities."
The Demon Defending Monument spoke again. Its voice was emotionless and emotionless.
"You are flattering me." Ling Xian softly grinned, "The Demon Defending Monument is the nemesis of all demons. Once sealed, you are no different than a mortal. I cannot believe you still have some capabilities left. "
"Hmmph, are you mocking me?" The demon hissed.
"No, I am happy. I am happy that you have your own consciousness and that I can communicate." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. As long as he could communicate, then he could negotiate.
As for the result, that would depend on what they have to offer.
"Hmmph, less bullsh * t. Why did you call me? It's not like you are here to chat with me. "The demon's voice was cold and full of killer's intent.
"Of course not."
Ling Xian erased his smile and said in a low voice, "Retract your killer's intent. Don't forget, you are no longer the glorious demon. You are merely a prisoner."
"Young man, you dare to talk to me like that? Are you seeking death?"
A voice filled with anger rang out. It was obvious that this demon king was enraged at this moment. This was normal. He was a powerhouse that far surpassed the original level and has always been high above others. Why would he allow anyone to disrespect him?
"Seeking death?"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He knew that he had to suppress the demon in order to gain the upper hand. Therefore, he mocked, "Do you have the right to say something like that?"
Hearing this, the demon fell into silence.
Just like Ling Xian had said, he was merely a prisoner and didn't have the ability to kill Ling Xian.
However, his dignity could not be challenged. He roared, "If I was at my peak, I could crush you with one finger."
"Sadly, that was in the past. The you right now, to me, is no different than a mortal. "Ling Xian continued to taunt.
"You are seeking death!"
The demon was enraged. His killer's intent seeped out of the monument. Even the natural array of the monument and Ling Xian's inhibition spells could not stop it.
In the next second, however, the shocking killer's intent disappeared as if it was never there in the first place.
Because the demon heard something. Something that forced him to retract his killer's intent.
"I suggest you retract your killer's intent. Unless you don't want to get out."
