Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue was shocked when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Another great sacrifice? Does the great sacrifice required for the promotion of the human Grand Master also require the sacrifice of a large number of lives like the promotion of the Demon Emperor?"

Senior Cang Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Yes, to break through the barriers is no longer something that humans or demons can do.

Because this restriction is imposed by heaven and earth.

If a living being in this world wants to break through this barrier, they must hold a grand sacrifice to please the gods!"

Fang Yue's face was filled with shock and confusion. He asked anxiously, "Why is this happening? Why did the heaven and earth set such a cruel restriction that can only be broken through with a great sacrifice? Is there no other way?"

Senior Cang Yu sighed slightly and said solemnly: "The rules of the world are mysterious and complex, and we cannot fully understand them.

But according to ancient legends, this great sacrifice is a kind of respect and response to the rules of heaven and earth.

When a cultivator reaches the peak of Grandmaster or the edge of Demon Emperor, he has already touched the ceiling of the power of this world. Only by performing a great sacrifice, pleasing the heavens, and obtaining the power of the laws bestowed by the heavens, can he break through! "

Fang Yue frowned when he heard this.

But he immediately gave up the idea of ​​breaking through to the realm above the Grand Master, and instead asked about those ancient demons and the huge demonic energy that permeated the entire demon world.

The demon world is now in turmoil, and they want to integrate the power of the entire demon world to attack the human world.

The source of all this is the ancient demon and the demonic energy.

When Senior Cang Yu heard Fang Yue's question, his expression became more solemn. He was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and then he slowly said:
"The origin of these ancient demons is extremely ancient. They existed long before our generation. Ancient demons are an evil force born in the chaos and darkness. They enjoy destruction, devouring and infecting."

"This demonic energy is an external manifestation of the power of the ancient demon. It is like a huge black spider web, silently spreading to every corner of the demon world. Once a living being is contaminated by the demonic energy, their minds will gradually be eroded and they will become puppets of the ancient demon."

Senior Cangyu's eyes revealed deep worry.

Fang Yue then asked, "Why did they choose this time to invade the demon world on a large scale, and also intend to provoke a war between the demon world and the human world?"

Senior Cang Yu sighed softly: "The purpose of the ancient demons has always been clear, they want to break the balance of this world and drag everything into chaos and darkness.

The balance of power between the demon world and the human world is crucial to maintaining the order of heaven and earth. If the demon world and the human world go to war, the power of both sides will be weakened, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the ancient demon to reap the benefits.

Moreover, the death and chaos brought by war can generate a large amount of negative emotions, which are like the most abundant nutrients for the ancient demons, making them more powerful. "

Fang Yue's heart sank as he realized the seriousness of the matter was far beyond his imagination.

"So how can we stop their plot?
Now the demon world is in a state of panic, and the various forces are not completely united. It is really difficult to integrate forces to fight against the ancient demons."

Senior Cang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, this is not an easy task. First of all, we need to make the various tribes in the demon world understand the real threat of the ancient demons, rather than being instigated by them and blindly becoming enemies with the human world.

The measures you took in the village before to restrain the demonic energy are a good start. This will allow more demons to see that the ancient demons are not invincible. "

"Secondly, it is crucial to find the core power of the ancient demon. Just like a snake has a weak spot, as long as we find the key node of the ancient demon's power and concentrate our strength to destroy it, we may be able to effectively curb the spread of the demonic energy.

However, this will require a huge price to pay, and the ancient demons will definitely do their utmost to protect their cores."

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, where do you think the core power of this ancient demon is hidden? Is it in the place where the demonic energy is the most concentrated, or in some mysterious space that is difficult for us to detect?"

Senior Cang Yu stroked his beard and said slowly, "It is possible that it is in those places that have been shrouded by demonic energy for a long time and formed special areas.

In these areas, the power of the ancient demons can be exerted to the maximum extent, and they can continuously release demonic energy through these areas to control more living beings.

It is also possible that they are hidden in some ancient ruins that are closely connected to the power of chaos. Those places contain powerful evil forces, and the ancient demons can use these powers to strengthen themselves. "

Fang Yue nodded slightly and asked again: "Senior, if we find the core power of the ancient demon, how can we destroy it?
I guess the core defense of this ancient demon must be very strong and cannot be easily broken."

Senior Cang Yu looked serious and said slowly: "To destroy the ancient demon core, ordinary power is far from enough.

This requires the gathering of multiple powerful forces, and also the presence of power attributes that counteract them.

Just like the Yang force you used to restrain the demonic energy before, if you can find a purer and more powerful masculine force, you may be able to cause great damage to the core of the ancient demon. "

"Furthermore, those magical weapons and artifacts that contain the righteousness of heaven and earth, if their power can be stimulated, will also be the key to destroying the core of the ancient demon. These magical weapons often have unique restrictions and powers that can break through the defenses of the ancient demon."

"In addition, we can also use the power of formations. We can set up a powerful sealing formation or attack formation to trap the ancient demon core inside, and then gradually wear down its power.

However, setting up these formations requires a lot of time and rare materials, and it also requires the person who sets up the formation to have extremely high attainments in formations."

After hearing this, Fang Yue thought about various possible solutions in his mind.

"Senior, when searching for these powers and magic weapons that can restrain the ancient demons, do you have any clues or directions? Moreover, how can we find the right person to set up such a powerful formation?"

Senior Cangyu shook his head. Although he had lived long enough, he felt helpless when faced with this problem.

“The clues I know are limited, but in ancient legends, some places blessed by heaven and earth may contain the power to restrain ancient demons.

For example, the legendary holy mountain, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, may have spiritual plants growing on the top of the mountain that can dispel evil; there is also a spiritual lake blessed by the power of light, whose water may have the effect of purifying evil spirits.

These places are often guarded by auspicious beasts or spiritual creatures. If you want to obtain the power within, you need to pass their tests. But these are only fundamental solutions. If you want to treat the symptoms, you can only go to the ancient mine where the evil spirit first appeared. "

When Fang Yue heard the word "ancient mine", his eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Senior, what is this ancient mine you are talking about? Why can going there cure the symptoms?"

Senior Cang Yu said solemnly: "This ancient mine is an ancient and mysterious place. It is said that it existed in ancient times when the world was first created.

It was one of the first sources of the demonic energy, and it had a strong evil aura. The power of the ancient demon was connected to the source of darkness deep in the ancient mine, just like the roots of a tree, continuously providing energy for the spread of the demonic energy.

“If we can go deep into the ancient mine, find the source of darkness and seal or destroy it, it would be like cutting off the foundation of the ancient demon’s power, and it would be able to curb the growth and spread of demonic energy to a certain extent.

However, this ancient mine is full of dangers. Not only is there the guardian power of ancient demons, but also various ancient prohibitions and traps.

Moreover, the closer you are to the source of darkness, the more severe the erosion of the demonic energy becomes, and it is difficult for ordinary creatures to withstand it."

Cang Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "There was a rumor in the demon world that in the Taichu Ancient Mine, there is another way to break through to a realm above the Demon Emperor."

When Fang Yue heard this, a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Senior, you said that there is another way to break through to the realm above the Demon Emperor in this Taichu Ancient Mine. What is going on? Why have I never heard of this before?"

Senior Cang Yu sighed slightly and said solemnly: “This rumor is extremely secretive, and only a few people know about it.

It is said that in the deepest part of the Taichu Ancient Mine, there is a mysterious place that contains a special power that is completely different from the conventional way of cultivation and advancement in this world."

“That mysterious place is said to have been formed when the world was first created, gathering some of the original energy from the beginning of chaos.

If we can find and comprehend this primordial energy, we may be able to bypass the limitations of heaven and earth that require a great sacrifice to break through, and open up a new path to advancement."

Fang Yue frowned, pondering the possibility in his mind: "But if that's the case, why have few people tried to break through through this route from ancient times to the present? Is it because the ancient mine is too dangerous and it is difficult to reach that mysterious place, or is there another reason?"

Senior Cang Yu nodded slowly and said, "Your guess is not unreasonable. This Taichu Ancient Mine is extremely dangerous. The protection of the ancient demons, various ancient prohibitions and traps are all huge obstacles. It is extremely difficult to go deep into the mysterious place at the deepest point."

“Moreover, even if someone is lucky enough to reach there, that raw energy is not something that can be easily comprehended and controlled.

It is extremely mysterious and violent, completely different from the energy we are exposed to in our daily lives.

If one does not have a strong enough soul power and a deep understanding of the way of cultivation, if one makes contact with it rashly, one will most likely be swallowed up by the energy in an instant and end up with one's soul shattered."

Fang Yue nodded slightly, becoming more and more curious about the Taichu Ancient Mine, but he was also well aware of the dangers involved.

"Senior, do you have any more clues or features about this mysterious place and that primitive energy? For example, where exactly is it located in the ancient mine, or are there any special signs or something like that?"

Senior Cang Yu stroked his beard, thought for a moment and said, "It is really difficult to pinpoint the exact location.

I only heard that the space around that mysterious place would show a strange distortion phenomenon, as if time and space had become disordered there.

Moreover, it is said that there is a faint ancient aura permeating the surroundings. That aura is different from the evil aura of the ancient demons, but carries a kind of simplicity and mystery that comes from the beginning of chaos. "

“As for the special signs, there was a legend that mentioned that when approaching that mysterious place, one would see some ancient runes that were glimmering. These runes seemed to contain some kind of truth about the universe, but no one could figure out their specific meaning.

Perhaps, if we can decipher these runes, we can more accurately find the key to that mysterious place and master that primitive energy."

Fang Yue memorized all the information in his heart. He knew very well that this might be an opportunity to change the fate of the entire demon world and even the human world, but it was also a dangerous road full of thorns.

"Senior, thank you for telling me this. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I want to give it a try. If I can really find this breakthrough path, perhaps I can break the situation that is being exploited by the ancient demons and restore peace and balance between the demon world and the human world."

Senior Cang Yu looked at Fang Yue, his eyes full of expectation and worry: "My child, your courage is commendable, but you must act with caution.

For this trip to the Taichu Ancient Mine, you must be fully prepared and must not act rashly or impulsively.

If you encounter danger that you cannot handle, do not try to be brave, and the best strategy is to return in time."

Fang Yue bowed respectfully and said, "I will follow your instructions. I will go back and make some preparations, and then I will immediately set off to the Taichu Ancient Mine to explore the path to breakthrough and the method to contain the demonic energy."

After bidding farewell to Senior Cangyu, Fang Yue left the valley with a heart full of expectations and solemnity, and headed towards the place where the demonic energy was most seriously infected.

Fang Yue sped along the way, and all he saw along the way were the tragic scenes of people being eroded by evil spirits.

The forest, which was once full of vitality, is now withered with trees and its branches and leaves dyed an eerie black color, as if all the vitality has been sucked away.

The flowers and plants on the ground also withered and wilted, emitting a foul smell.

Occasionally, one could see some low-level monsters that had been driven mad by the evil spirit. They had dull eyes and kept making low roars from their mouths. When they saw Fang Yue approaching, they would pounce on him regardless of everything.

Fang Yue had no choice but to repel or kill them, and his hatred for the ancient demons increased even more.

As we went deeper, the demonic energy became more and more dense, and the sky became dark, as if a heavy black curtain was covering the earth.

Fang Yue had to circulate his spiritual power to form a thin shield around his body to resist the invading evil spirit.

Finally, Fang Yue came to a place that was suspected to be the entrance to an ancient mine.

The demonic energy here is rolling and surging like a substance, and dull roars can be faintly heard coming from underground, as if some huge monster is lurking in the depths.

Fang Yue stopped and looked around carefully. The ground was covered with black lines that emitted a faint glow, which seemed to be some kind of ancient restriction.

On the mountain wall not far away, there was a huge black hole. Demonic energy was constantly gushing out of the hole. The strong suction made Fang Yue feel a little unstable.

"This should be the entrance to the ancient mine, but the restrictions and suction are so strong that it may not be easy to get in." Fang Yue thought to himself.

He tried to take a step forward, and as soon as he stepped into the area covered with black lines, the surrounding demonic energy instantly rolled violently, as if it had sensed the invasion of an outsider. (End of this chapter)
