Gou Cultivates Demon Immortals in the Endless Sea

Soul beasts are special creatures in the realm of spirit and soul, living in the sea of ​​souls. Dispersed souls, relying on vague memories, taking advantage of the chaos of heaven and earth, and obtaining traces of heaven, condense into pure spirit creatures with various soul skills.

Zhang Liang's mind flashed with some simple information about this cat-like soul beast, such as this is a second-level soul beast, comparable to a powerful cultivator. The other party's roar just now was a soul-soothing skill, which had the effect of shocking people. Once shocked, the other party would have a great chance of a successful sneak attack.

At this moment, the second-level soul beast was killed by Zhang Liang, leaving only a drop of water-like thing floating in the air.

Immediately, information emerged in Zhang Liang's mind again:
The fragments of the Heaven's Mark can be condensed into Heaven's Mark. Soul beasts are born from the fusion of Heaven's Mark, so after they die, the Heaven's Mark is stripped off. The Heaven's Mark contains the laws of Heaven and the great principles. After refining, there is a very small probability that one can understand the great way of the heavens. Collecting a hundred pieces can condense a Heaven's Mark, and collecting a thousand pieces can condense a Heaven's Mark.

"nice one."

Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows. This thing contains the Heavenly Dao, but unfortunately the quantity is too small. At least one thousand pieces are needed to condense into a Heavenly Dao fragment. Who knows how much of the great Dao one can understand after condensing into a Heavenly Dao fragment?
But no matter what, this is a good opportunity. In this huge maze, God knows how many soul beasts there are?
Just now, when this second-level soul beast attacked him, he realized that this proved one thing, that is, his perception power is completely useless here.

Since my own perception is ineffective, it is impossible for others to be useful.

Therefore, if you want to get out of this huge maze, you have to rely on yourself.

Just as Zhang Liang was about to fly out, he immediately discovered that this place was suppressed by a strange force. When he was flying in the air, he felt the pressure of an immortal descending on him, almost forcing him to the ground.

"Irresistible."

Obviously, after all, it is within the imperial palace. Even if it is just the outermost area, as long as it contains a trace of immortal pressure, he will not be able to resist it.

Since perception is not available, there must be a way to get out of this huge maze.

Zhang Liang decided to go to the tall and magnificent wall first to take a look.

In the woods, perhaps because it had been quiet for too long, there were a large number of soul beasts. Zhang Liang would be ambushed almost every time he walked for a while, although most of the attacks could not be hidden from him at all.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

During this time, the trees were all gone, the soul beasts disintegrated, and Zhang Liang traveled more than 27 miles before finally arriving at the foot of the high wall. During this period, he killed 27 soul beasts and obtained pieces of the Heavenly Mark. One hundred pieces of this item can condense into one Heavenly Mark, and one thousand pieces can condense into one Heavenly Dao fragment. In other words, one thousand pieces of the Heavenly Mark fragments are equivalent to one Heavenly Dao fragment.

At this hunting speed, a number of one thousand seems a bit easy.

Zhang Liang looked up at the high wall, which seemed to have no end. The black and gray mottled wall was dotted with craters and dense marks of swords and knives.

Zhang Liang also discovered that these impact craters and sword marks extended all the way to very high places.

"Why are there so many traces of battle on the walls of the maze? Unless this was once a battlefield."

It seems that a long time ago, when there were still people in this imperial palace, a battle of absolutely large scale took place there, so that the entire imperial palace became silent.

Zhang Liang wanted to get closer to the sea-gray wall, but suddenly he attracted the sword marks imprinted on the wall.

All of a sudden, hundreds of sword and knife intentions rushed towards him. Even though Zhang Liang was prepared, he was still cut back by this sudden force.

"The wall is unapproachable."

Zhang Liang came to this conclusion easily. Even a soul as powerful as his was forced to retreat again and again. How could an ordinary soul beast in the maze get close to the maze wall?
Zhang Liang secretly thought it was a pity that his spirit had come here. Otherwise, if his real body had come, he could summon a large number of spirit insects from the Refining Void World to find the way for him. Now, he only had the power of his spirit, and he could not release his perception. According to the scale of this maze, it was hard to say whether he could get out of the maze in three years.

After three years, this True Immortal's preaching will really be over. By then, will I be left with only a few fragments of the Heavenly Dao?
Helplessly, Zhang Liang could only move forward aimlessly. There were indeed a lot of soul beasts along the way, but in just three days, Zhang Liang had killed more than 930 second-level soul beasts.

However, during the past three days, he wandered aimlessly, only to find that there were high walls in all directions, as if there was no end at all. During this period, he did not even find any traces of other people staying there.

"No! We can't just wander around aimlessly like this."

Zhang Liang thought about it for half a day, and finally got up and came to the edge of the maze wall again.

This time, Zhang Liang just stared at the city wall for a long time, and finally raised two fingers, which turned into a soul-killing sword and slashed towards the city wall.

Yes, this is how Zhang Liang found a way out. Walking aimlessly in a maze whose size is unknown. Who knows when he can get out, ten years? A hundred years? A thousand years?

The only thing that cannot be touched in this entire maze is the city wall.

But since there is pressure from the immortals in the sky above this place, which can keep everyone out of the air, why bother building a city wall?

So, although the city wall is dangerous, it is the only alternative in the entire maze.

"Buzz~"

Look, Zhang Liang slashed down with his sword, as if he had angered the city wall. For a moment, all the sword marks covered the sky and were coming down.

"Dang~"

Zhang Liang's mind moved, and his soul turned into a golden bell to protect his body. With his spiritual power that far exceeded that of an ordinary mid-stage Mahayana cultivator, he was able to deal with the imprints of artistic conception that had been passed down for who knows how many years. Although he could not win, he would not be killed at will.

"Kill~"

"Heaven and earth will destroy you."

For a moment, the city wall had all kinds of killing techniques to fight against it.

Zhang Liang thought that he would be defeated, or even easily defeated. But in fact, it was not the case. Just when the Heaven Punishment and Earth Destruction Sword was about to break, a deep and ethereal voice suddenly sounded.

"Anyone who enters the battlefield to fight must kill 100,000 villains before they can return to the city to rest."

"Ok?"

"Punish a hundred thousand villains?"

Zhang Liang opened his mouth immediately. So, this maze is actually a trap. And he has become a person who enters the trap and needs to complete certain tasks before he can go back.

But, with that said, everything is easy to explain.

It is naturally not easy to get out of such a huge formation. Let alone three years, Zhang Liang suspected that if he rushed around like a headless fly, he might not be able to get out even after three hundred years.

Now that the mission has been given, everything is much simpler.

Even during these three days, Zhang Liang had only explored casually and had not deliberately killed soul beasts, but he had already killed nearly a thousand soul beasts. If possible, this number would probably be doubled.

It seems that the number of one hundred thousand is not far away.

In fact, if one is focused on hunting, the speed will be very fast, faster than one can imagine. "Buzz~"

The next moment, Zhang Liang's body was engulfed in flames. Although this place seemed to be only a place where the spirit resided, all kinds of great ways were still useful.

The immortal fire could burn everything before, and the flames would not stop until the blood and qi were exhausted. But after understanding the great way of fire and the divine art of heavenly fire, this fire could also burn the soul. It was just not as strong and overbearing as burning the blood and qi directly, and needed to be pushed.

With Zhang Liang's body as the center, an all-encompassing, undying fire roared out, instantly burning the entire forest.

"Not enough. Natural burning is too slow. The law of wind, activate."

"Hula~"

For a moment, there was a strong wind here. Amidst the howling, one hurricane of fire after another suddenly formed and flew around in this maze.

When the immortal fairy fire raged here, whether it was the trees that existed in some unknown form of life or the soul beasts, they were all dying.

In just one day, Zhang Liang had killed more than 1,200 soul beasts.

However, just when Zhang Liang had burned all the forest land in front of him, soul beasts comparable to the combined or even Mahayana stage finally appeared in the new maze jungle. These soul beasts came with great force, and it was not known whether it was because they could not escape in time or because they had no intelligence, so many of them actually attacked Zhang Liang with the immortal fire.

Even at this moment, there are as many as seven Mahayana soul beasts, more than thirty in the Fusion stage, and several in the Refinement Realm, all of which are rushing towards Zhang Liang frantically.

If it were an ordinary Mahayana, facing this kind of lineup, most of them would have to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. After all, the Mahayana is the Mahayana, and it is not invincible.

But for Zhang Liang, these were not enough. He didn't even need the Sword of Heaven Punishment and Earth Destruction. He just relied on the Sword of Soul-Slaying to wipe out all the soul beasts.

The biggest difference between a soul beast in the Refining Void Realm and a soul beast in the Fusion Realm is that after being killed, multiple fragments of the Heavenly Mark are left behind. However, after being killed, a soul beast in the Mahayana Realm actually leaves behind the Heavenly Mark itself.

Zhang Liang did not rush in again. Since there were soul beasts comparable to the Mahayana stage here, there might be soul beasts comparable to the True Immortal.

If there were a soul beast like that, Qingyi would not be able to deal with it.

At this moment, he collected all the fragments of the Mark of Heaven that he had harvested in this wave, totaling 3162 pieces. Together with the pieces he had harvested before, the total number had reached four thousand.

I saw that the fragments of the Mark of Sky, after being deliberately blended, gathered together to form a strange crystal bead with a deep crack. This was the real Mark of Sky.

And when these ten beads are combined again, they become a crescent-shaped colorful substance, which is the fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

Information emerged in Zhang Liang's mind.

The fragments of Heavenly Dao, the Great Dao of Heaven, the root of the Great Dao born naturally, can be used to comprehend the Great Dao, broaden the new Dao, or use it to calculate the secrets of Heaven and create a method of cultivation. It is very valuable and is favored by the True Immortals. Three thousand fragments of Heavenly Dao can temporarily condense the Heavenly Dao, transform the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the nothingness.

"It's quite useful. It can actually help create a new technique?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while, what he urgently needed was not to sacrifice and refine the immortal bones. As long as he returned from the imperial palace, he could sacrifice and refine the immortal bones at any time. Therefore, he lacked a method of controlling the heavens and the earth. But if he deduced and created it himself, it would be quite difficult.

At this moment, with the fragment of the Heavenly Dao, Zhang Liang decided to give it a try first.

So, without any hesitation, he swallowed a fragment of the Heavenly Dao. As he imagined, a vague image seemed to emerge between heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, this mysterious power disappeared at this point.

“Isn’t this too short?”

Zhang Liang was somewhat speechless. Although he could still recall the vague image at this moment, it was sheer nonsense to say that it could lead to a peerless martial art.

According to this level of perception efficiency, Zhang Liang felt that at least ten Heavenly Dao fragments would be needed to be taken together to have a slight effect. However, ten Heavenly Dao fragments would require the killing of ten thousand soul beasts.

It’s not that Zhang Liang couldn’t afford to kill, but he felt that ten fragments of the Heavenly Dao might not be enough. It would be best if he could have hundreds or thousands of fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, the best thing is to have three thousand fragments of the Heavenly Dao, so that the Heavenly Dao can be condensed for a short time. Only the things deduced in this way can be truly called peerless.

However, even if there are three million soul beasts, it will take nearly three years to kill the three thousand fragments of the Heavenly Dao at his current normal killing speed. This is under the premise that there are no powerful soul beasts.

But once three years have passed, this opportunity to explore the Imperial Palace will be gone. Do I really want to use these precious three years to obtain the fragments of the Heavenly Dao?

After a little thought, Zhang Liang finally gave up the idea. It was not that he did not want to become the incarnation of heaven, but it sounded unrealistic.

Eighteen days later.

The number of soul beasts killed by Zhang Liang finally reached 50,000.

During this period, he encountered a very powerful soul beast, comparable to the peak of Mahayana. After a fierce battle for half a day, he finally killed it with the Seventh Sword of Xuantian in a flash, and actually obtained a fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

This was what surprised Zhang Liang very much. He didn't expect that the fragments of the Heavenly Dao could also explode.

Unfortunately, the battle with that soul beast lasted too long, and it was still not advisable to collect the fragments of the Heavenly Dao by killing soul beasts of this level.

A month and a half later.

Zhang Liang finally killed 100,000 soul beasts.

But he did not stop the hunt immediately. For most of the people who participated in the True Immortal's preaching, their most direct gain might be this maze jungle. The soul beast resources here were inexhaustible, so why not kill more?
Thus, half a year later, Zhang Liang held five hundred fragments of the Heavenly Dao in his hands, which was the result of his best efforts.

It cannot be said that Zhang Liang is not powerful. Five hundred Heavenly Dao fragments may sound like a small number. But on second thought, this is the output of five million Refining Void level soul beasts. The distance to the three thousand Heavenly Dao fragments has also been completed by one sixth.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who was targeting him? Was the time calculated? In three years, he would either obtain three thousand Heavenly Dao fragments or enter the next stage of testing?

However, thinking carefully, it was unlikely. How could the other party know his combat power so well? Moreover, this imperial palace itself was also a multi-person exploration, although he had not encountered any other explorers in the past six months.

On top of the high wall, Zhang Liang slashed at the thousand-foot-high wall with his sword.

Immediately, Zhang Liang felt as if some kind of force was sweeping over him, and then he heard a voice coming from the top of the high wall: "You can go home."

After that, a large wicker basket began to slowly descend from the high wall.

"So original?"

Zhang Liang was stunned for a long time before he stood in the basket, thinking to himself, I wonder what kind of scenery there is on the top of the high wall. (End of this chapter)
