Di Shitian was confident that he would be able to complete the puzzle within the next one or two months.
His confidence stemmed from the fact that he had already thought through the various possibilities in his mind. Now that he was piecing the puzzle together again, the difficulty had been greatly reduced. It was no longer impossible to complete the puzzle. After all, he could still afford to spend a few months.
For the sake of deciphering the Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box and obtaining the secrets within, a few months was nothing. Let alone the fact that there were a large number of corpses within the Demon Refining Cauldron. The Demon Refining Cauldron was constantly revolving, continuously refining the essence qi and blood into demonic energy. This process wasn't any slower compared to cultivation. In fact, it was even faster.
It could be said that cultivating and cracking the Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box did not interfere with each other!
To be honest, Di Shitian felt that it was not safe to carry this mysterious Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box by his side. A single Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box had caused the Demon King of the Demon Race and the Nascent Soul Old Monsters of the Immortal World to fight and kill each other. If he kept it, it was hard to predict what kind of danger this Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box would bring him in the future.
Taking such a huge risk to carry the Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box, if he did not know what was inside the Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box, he would not be satisfied no matter what.
"I will not rest until I open the Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box."
Inwardly making up his mind, Indra calmed his mind and focused his mind. He stretched out his tiger claw and slowly moved it on the pieces of the map. Every time he moved a piece, he would stop for a while and silently ponder in his mind, deducing the next steps.
There was only one blank piece in the puzzle. There were some connected pieces, one on one side and one on the other. To move them together required a lot of mental energy.
However, the more challenging the task was, the more interested Di Shitian was. Without the disturbance of others, he focused his mind on the puzzle and gradually became immersed in it. Only the Demon Refining Cauldron in his body was rotating on its own.
Round after round, it brought along a sparkling jade belt as it rotated outside the cauldron. It was a mysterious sight. Threads of essence energy were continuously extracted from the cauldron, forming a dense blood-colored fog within the cauldron. As the jade cauldron rotated, droplets of pitch-black liquid continuously dripped out from the blood fog. He fell into the cauldron. It fused with the other demonic liquids.
The demonic liquid was the demonic essence. The increase in demonic liquid was equivalent to Di Shitian's cultivation increasing little by little.
Time quietly passed by ….
"Third Brother, you saw it with your own eyes. The demon beast kings that were respectively guarding one side of the Southern Barbaric Lands had actually gathered together and engaged in a fierce battle with the thousands of independent cultivators that had entered the mountain. Moreover, there were countless casualties, and only a few escaped. How is this possible?"
In the Chu Manor, Chu Tianxing looked at the azure-robed man in front of him in disbelief. Beside the azure-robed man was a man and a woman. They were Zhong Yunfei and Chu Yun.
This green-robed man was none other than Chu Tianxing's younger brother. He was ranked third and was called Chu Tiannan. He was also Chu Yun's third uncle. Previously, Zhong Yunfei and Chu Yun had gone to the Southern Barbarian Lands. The Southern Barbarian Lands was not like other places, so how could the Chu family be at ease? Therefore, they had Chu Tiannan follow behind them. When they encountered true danger, they would take action to resolve it.
Chu Tiannan would never have thought that when he followed them, he would actually witness a shocking battle.
"Big Brother, I witnessed this with my own eyes. Yun 'er has also personally experienced it. It is indeed not the slightest bit exaggerated. Big Brother, look at this hand of mine and you will understand. "Chu Tiannan's face carried a trace of a withered expression. He stretched out his left hand.
All along, he had been wearing that kind of wide robe. When the sleeves were rolled up, he could retract all of his hands into the long sleeves. If one did not look carefully, one would not notice at all. Now, he stretched out his left hand from the sleeve. Immediately, it caused Chu Tianxing's expression to change. His gaze stared fixedly at that arm, and his expression was incomparably solemn.
Zhong Yunfei and Chu Yun both lowered their heads at the same time. His expression was filled with sadness.
"Third Brother, your hand …"
"It has already turned into stone."
Chu Tiannan said with a bitter smile.
"The Demon Beast Kings in the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range are indeed terrifying. Especially their innate divine abilities, they have all kinds of terrifying abilities. This hand of mine was seen by the Medusa's eyes and turned into stone on the spot." Speaking up to here, a trace of worry appeared on Chu Tiannan's face. There was a trace of fear in his eyes as he said, "If it wasn't for the Demon Warding Hand, a treasure I obtained from the Sky Demon Secret Realm, I'm afraid that what would have turned into stone wouldn't just be my arm, but my entire body as well. That divine ability is too terrifying. "
It turned out that when he blocked the Medusa's Eye back then, it was not as easy as he imagined. His left hand had already completely turned into a hard rock.
To be able to turn a Core Formation cultivator's arm into stone, the power of the Medusa's Eye could be said to be terrifying.
"Hmph." Chu Tianxing coldly snorted. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he said, "A mere Southern Barbaric Mountain actually dares to openly show off their might against the cultivation world. Could it be that they are truly courting death? No matter how powerful a Demon Beast's divine ability is, could it be that they want to contend against the experts of the cultivation world? They have truly eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall. Detestable, extremely detestable. "
Chu Tianxing's words emitted traces of terrifying killing intent. The aura of an emperor naturally surged out. However, there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes as he said, "However, now that the Demon Clan has declined, the reason why the Southern Barbaric Mountain still exists is firstly because there are still some experts in the Demon Clan. Secondly, it is to leave a place for the younger generation to gain experience. Normally, almost all cultivators should know the rules that they should pay attention to when entering the Southern Barbaric Mountain. Why would they provoke the Demon Beasts to come out in full force this time? "
In the cultivation world, those who entered the Southern Barbaric Mountain were nothing more than wanting to gain something. Therefore, for countless years, there was an unwritten rule that as long as one entered the mountain, one absolutely could not provoke the Demon Beasts. Generally speaking, as long as one did not provoke the Demon Beasts, the Demon Beasts would not deliberately kill cultivators.
For countless years, most of the time, there was peace.
"Imperial Father, Yun 'er knows this." When Chu Yun heard this, she couldn't help but blink her eyes as she spoke.
Under Chu Tianxing's signal, he immediately told him everything that had happened in the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range. When he said this, Chu Tianxing's expression changed continuously.
"The Li Clan can actually use such a method. In order to get back the compass, they really did not hesitate to do anything. It seems that they are prepared for the Sky Demon Secret Realm in three years. "Chu Tianxing's tone was slightly dignified. Just from these words alone, he could already guess that the Li Clan's goal was the Sky Demon Secret Realm.
"That's right. The Sky Demon Secret Realm is an irresistible temptation for any cultivator. In the past few thousand years, the entire Sky Demon Secret Realm was only explored by less than one-tenth. But even so, the treasures obtained from the secret realm have already created a large number of experts. Anyone who has the idea will find it strange. " Chu Tiannan also nodded and said, "If the Li Clan has the Psychic Compass in hand, the chances of finding the treasure will indeed be greatly increased. It's no wonder that the Li Clan wants to find the compass at all costs. "
Chu Tianxing frowned slightly and took a deep breath. "The news of thousands of cultivators dying in the Southern Barbaric Mountain will definitely spread to the Immortal Cultivation World in a short time. At that time, it will definitely stir up a huge uproar. The Demon Clan has already declined, and the Immortal Cultivation World will definitely not allow the Demon Clan to do such provocative actions. The Southern Barbaric Mountain … is not far from being destroyed. "
"Big Brother, in my opinion, the Demon Beast King in the Southern Barbaric Mountain is no small matter. If we want to make a move, it's definitely not something that can be shaken by a little bit of power. Moreover, the Sky Demon Secret Realm is about to open. I'm afraid that the Southern Barbaric Mountain's matter will be temporarily suppressed." Chu Tiannan also had some understanding of the current situation. After pondering deeply for a while, he voiced his opinion.
"Yes!!" Chu Tianxing looked at him approvingly and said, "Since the Demon Clan has already declined, they will not be allowed to rise again. Everything will wait for three years. The Li Clan is already preparing for the trip to the secret realm with all its might. We have selected many clan members with extraordinary aptitudes. After three years, we will bring them into the secret realm to be baptized by the heavenly lake. At that time, Third Brother, you will lead them. Who knows, maybe the heavenly lake's power can help you recover your left hand. "
"Heavenly Lake's baptism? Big Brother, I thought so too. Thinking about it, with the heavenly lake's power, there is a very high chance that it can neutralize this demonic technique. "Chu Tiannan nodded slightly and responded.
There was no lack of expectation in his voice.
Three more years — —
It seemed that three years later, it would be the time for all the heroes to gather.
Not only the Chu Clan, but there were also all kinds of rumors in other places. Chu Tiannan and his group were not the only ones who escaped from the Southern Barbaric Mountain. There were also many other cultivators. Once these cultivators escaped, the news of the Southern Barbaric Mountain immediately began to spread in the cultivation world.
Thousands of cultivators gathered in the Southern Barbaric Mountain. Demon Beast Kings appeared out of nowhere. The fierce battle caused an uproar in the cultivation world.
No one would have thought that the Southern Barbaric Mountain, which was originally looked down upon by everyone, would have such a terrifying power. The terror of the Demon Beast Kings was not the slightest bit inferior to any Core Formation cultivator. Their numerous magical abilities made people inexplicably shocked.
For a long time, in the eyes of cultivators, the Demon Beast Clan was either a target to be taken as a spiritual beast or a target to be killed for their cores. No one could have imagined that these Demon Beast Clan, which they had never looked down upon, would have such a terrifying power when they truly unleashed their power.
Thousands of Loose Cultivators.
Although they were only Loose Cultivators. But when combined together, they were definitely an incomparably huge force.
This kind of force, in the eyes of the Demon Beast Kings, was like a jumping clown that could be destroyed with a flip of the hand.
This fact caused all the cultivators to be completely in an uproar. They were completely shocked.
However, after the shock, there was anger. In their eyes, the act of publicly killing thousands of cultivators was definitely the most obvious provocation. The cultivators, who had always thought that only their own human race was the most honorable, one after another, a strong desire to completely destroy the Southern Barbaric Mountain emerged one after another.
Of course, those who clamored were only some Loose Cultivators, small sects, and even some small cultivation families. The real big sects, however, unanimously maintained silence, as if they did not want to respond to this. Suddenly, it was strange.
