Going to immortality inexplicably

Chapter 920: Demonic Aura
Because the formation was activated, the eight little demons were forced to run following the fire in front of them.

"what happened?"

"Why did the formation activate?"

"Quick, inform the king..."

The eight little demons were all level six, and they were all big, ferocious beasts with green faces and fangs, looking ferocious, but they spoke clearly, unlike the little demons outside who made sharp and piercing noises.

However, perhaps because they are too large and heavy, their voices are muffled and echo around the hall.

Maybe because they were running around the big disc, the sound seemed to form a huge vortex, echoing and reverberating, and small pieces of things kept falling from the roof.

But they have long been accustomed to such sounds and do not know how much of a shock they will bring to others.

Not to mention ordinary people, even humans at the first or second level of Qi Condensation would have their eardrums shattered by such sounds and would fall into a coma.

When Fan Xiaoxiao heard that they wanted to inform the big demon, she immediately mobilized her spiritual power and formed a barrier in the hall, completely isolating the big disc and the eight little demons from the outside world, ensuring that the little demons could not send messages to the big demon.

With her strength, it is easy to seal the hall, but others may not be able to do it.

But there is no point in worrying now. We must activate the formation according to the designed procedure and then fight quickly and decisively, hoping that the big monster will not be summoned.

However, she hoped that the big monster would come to her, otherwise she was afraid that others would not be able to withstand it, especially the three spirit beasts.

As the little demons ran faster and faster, a circle of afterimages formed around the big disc. Eight flames also rotated rapidly along with the big disc. The big disc turned into a huge circle of fire, and tiny cracks began to appear on the original ground.

The cracks appeared slowly at first, but soon expanded rapidly until they formed a groove one meter wide and three meters long.

Then, a long stone object slowly rose from the eight grooves.

Because the long stone object was in the groove and the stone slab was thick, it was about half a meter wide and more than two meters long.

Fan Xiaoxiao looked down from a high place, staring closely at the rising stone trough. She found a person lying in the trough and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, not all eight stone troughs were occupied; three were empty.

The person inside had a ruddy complexion, his clothes were intact, his eyes were closed, his expression was peaceful, and his hands were folded on his abdomen. He looked like he was asleep.

As all eight stone troughs were raised, the cracks disappeared, the ground returned to normal, and the stone troughs began to slowly rotate around the large disc.

When the eight little demons saw this scene, they became even more panicked. They wanted to break free from the formation and report to the king, but they couldn't stop at all and could only run passively.

"Quick, kill them!"

Before Lord Zhu finished speaking, Fan Xiaoxiao had already taken action.

The eight level six little demons were no match for her. No matter how big they were, they were still far inferior to the monsters in the world of immortal cultivation.

Fan Xiaoxiao didn't even use any magic, she just threw out eight small stones, and the eight little demons fell to the ground. At the moment of falling, their bodies still maintained the inertia of running, and slid more than ten meters along the running track.

Because they were already killed when they were hit by the pebbles, even if they were still sliding along the track, they had no conscious control and soon hit the big disc and were knocked away, and their bodies lay motionless on the ground.

Without the eight little demons, the eight stone troughs that had originally started to accelerate slowly stopped.

Only the big disc was still spinning rapidly, but without the eight little demons, the big disc seemed to have lost its soul. The fast speed was just the inertia of the past running mechanically. Fan Xiaoxiao found it incredible. How could she think that the big disc had a soul?

She would think it was reasonable if there was a tree on the big disc, or even just an inconspicuous blade of grass.

Isn't the soul something that only living things have? Whether it's a human, an animal, or even a plant, they all have life, so they have souls. But the big disk is just a dead thing without life, how can it have a soul?
I must be too nervous and overthinking.

"Everything has a soul. As the saying goes, a flower is a world, a leaf is a bodhi tree, and even a grain of sand can have life. As long as dead things are endowed with souls, they are no longer dead things."

Fan Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. Lord Zhu always gave her new shocks.

“A piece of wood or a leaf will die if it is separated from the tree. It will wither and die soon. But if it is endowed with spirituality, it will have life again. Moreover, their life forms are completely different. You can’t tell whether it is alive or not.”

"You mean, this big disk has spirituality, that is, it has life?"

"Yes, but it is too big. It needs a lot of spiritual energy to maintain its spirituality, so it needs sacrifices."

"So, eight people at the fifth level of Qi Condensation are needed to be sacrificed in order to activate the formation?"

"Yes, the main reason is that there is too little spiritual energy in the Black Wind Continent, and even fewer people can cultivate to the fifth level of Qi Condensation. The big monsters don't dare to go to the immortal cultivation families to capture people, so they can only capture those at the second and third levels, and then set up formations in that yard to encourage those people to speed up their cultivation. When they reach the fifth level, they are sent to the altar, and when the eight altars have enough people, they will start at the same time."

"What is the purpose of the great demon building these altars?"

"The big demon has already been dispatched. If you keep talking too much, your team may lose members."

Fan Xiaoxiao was shocked. This was no joke. She believed that Lord Zhu would not fool her.

She was not afraid of the big demon coming to find her, but the big demon was not an ordinary little demon. A big demon that was about to transform had intelligence no less than that of humans. It was certain that it would bully the weak and fear the strong. If it went to cause trouble for one of the three spirit beasts, something unexpected might really happen.

Because the eight altars were far apart and on different mountains on the island, their team could not connect their spiritual consciousness like they did when killing monsters at the mission point, and everyone had to fight alone.

It is easy to deal with eight level six monsters, but there is no absolute certainty when facing a big monster alone.

The main thing is that we don’t know what will happen after the altar is activated. It is impossible to rehearse it, so we can only deal with emergencies by ourselves.

Fan Xiaoxiao gathered her thoughts and saw that all the people in the five stone troughs were fine. The large disc had also slowed down and was slowly stopping its rotation. The eight torches were also slowly stopping.

The torches were magical. Not only did they not burn out, but they also remained as bright as before.

This is so fucking amazing that it can't be explained by science at all.

But she didn't have the mind to explore these things now. She didn't sense the breath of the big demon, which meant that the big demon did not come to her. Without time to think about it, she put all five unconscious people into the space and rushed out of the altar.

As soon as he came out, he sensed a faint demonic aura, but this kind of demonic aura was not something that the little demons could emit. Even though the demonic aura was very faint, he could feel that it was many times stronger than the little demons.

Fan Xiaoxiao stopped and carefully sensed the source of the evil spirit, but the range of the evil spirit was very wide, almost covering the entire island, and it was difficult to find the specific location at once.

Fan Xiaoxiao was secretly shocked. This was not an ordinary big monster. If she faced it, she would definitely be able to defeat it, but it was hard to say about the little ants.

Thinking of Xiao Yi, she had an idea. Since she couldn't locate the big demon for the time being, she should find everyone as soon as possible. As long as she confirmed that they were safe, she would have nothing to worry about. She quickly rushed to where Xiao Yi was.

The little ant has the lowest strength and the least courage, so it was the first one Fan Xiaoxiao thought of.
