Chapter 7 Immortal Tree

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 3
January 19569 Eltiero Zhongdu

Since the decisive battle with Li Yu that day, Yinzhen has been in seclusion and healed his wounds and handed over all the affairs of the demons to Hulagu and Shi Chong for treatment. He did not give nor gave detailed instructions.

After the demons entered Zhongdu, they restored the ruined palace. Although they did not fully restore the old and gorgeous view, they still had the minimum majesty. However, they had a great change in appearance and style. They were no longer magnificent ornate buildings, but rather a hideous demon palace full of various strange sculptures.

Many palace walls and towers in the palace buildings are covered with ugly and mighty monster reliefs. Although there are not many, the shape is very realistic. These decorations that seem to be wood-carved stone sculptures are not carved by craftsmen with hammers and axes, but are formed by secret techniques of the demon world, sealing the captured monsters on the walls. They are all controlled by the Great Demon King. If an enemy attacks the palace, the Great Demon King can use the jade seal to lift the monster seal, either ordering to fight the enemy, or creating chaos to escape.

This is the basic design of the Demon King City Ten Thousand Demons Palace. It is both majestic and practical. It is now reappearing in Zhongdu City. However, because of the Yuanshi Cannon, the demons' strength has been greatly damaged, and the number of monsters used to decorate is insufficient, which seems a little thin. However, when those monsters were sealed and petrified, they were frightened and hatred, all of which remained on their expressions and struggles, which was impressive and made people who entered this palace for the first time feel scared.

Countless fears and horrors, accumulated, are the basis for the ruling of millions of demons in the Demon Realm. For a long time, the royal family has ruled the Demon Realm with absolute force, forcing other races to bow down and surrender. These majesty and mentality are fully revealed in the appearance of the palace.

At this moment, Yinzhen was sitting on the throne, looking at the entire imperial city from the main hall, with all the pavilions and halls of all sizes. He could see it and feel a unique style belonging to the emperor.

Looking at the small country in front of him, Yinzhen felt a sense of satisfaction of success. After all, after years of planning, he finally removed Li Yu, a confidant, and the demon clan successfully entered the human world, causing severe damage to all resistance forces. Looking around, no resistance force could threaten the hegemony of the demon clan, and his martial arts were invincible to the world. These achievements... really made Yinzhen feel successful.

But he knew that this feeling was very inappropriate, because now was not the time to feel satisfied.

Two thousand five hundred years ago, the demons also attacked the world with thunder and launched the Battle of Jiuzhou, but in the end they were still losing their troops and defeated. Their current situation was similar. Those potential threats have not been completely eliminated, and they still have the possibility of growing and thriving.

If you are too early to be confused by the appearance of success and indulge in satisfaction, then... the next challenge may make you lose your life and return to the demon world!

Meeting risky challenges is a stimulus and a thing that is very interesting to me. However, always facing challenges alone makes Yinzhen worry about the future of the demon clan.

If possible, cultivating successors is also an important matter, but unfortunately there are too few choices in front of you...

Your Majesty, you summoned me here, probably not to make me stare at you in a daze, and then let me squat here like a pug to show you, right?

Even when facing the Great Demon King, Xulagu still looked like he was not taking it seriously. This special and solo style was not because he was Yinzhen's legitimate son, but his natural manifestation.

Yinzhen also knew this very well.

What is Hongli’s attitude?Or are you unintentional to come back?

In the first sentence, Yinzhen mentioned his other son, but not only had the son turned against the demons, but even the name he gave up was not used, and he claimed himself as the poisonous dragon in the Demon Realm.

Yinzhen also knew very well that during the period when he was in seclusion and healing, Hulagu would definitely contact Chires.

Chires, who never took anyone seriously and cut off family affection, maintained a good relationship with this younger brother and secretly assisted Hulagu several times. This shows Hulagu's ability, because he was born in the human world, he had no chance to get along with Chires. The reason why Hulagu took great pains and took many risks.

Well, Brother Hongli said that he doesn't want to come back at the moment, so he asked His Majesty the Demon King not to go find him.

Oh, would he say such a polite thing?

Well... If you want to listen to the untranslated version, the elder brother is actually saying that if you want to see him, there are only two ways. One is that I cut your head and bring it to him, and the other is that you cut your head and bring it to him, go fuck you... I bah!

Faithfully conveying the original message, even the disrespectful conclusion of Chires at that time, Hulagus conveyed to his father in full, but based on his personal upbringing, he omitted the spitting action; and Yinzhen, who was violently contradicted, was not angry, but laughed.

Hahahaha~~ His thinking is still as simple as before. How can the winner bow his head to the loser?

Yinzhen's laughter shocked the entire palace, which sounded full of passion, but in Xulagu's ears, he felt a little cool.

Since lurking in the human world, Yinzhen has always cared about cultivating successors and wanted to have successors as the Great Demon King. However, in the end, the outstanding descendants in his eyes either died or rebelled. Although the Great Demon King never gave up and had a strong will, Xulagu thought his father was not so relaxed.

When Yinzhen was still Cao Shou and abdicated because of Gongjin's coup, Xulagu would accompany his father to the royal tomb to worship him every day.

At that time, my father stood in front of my sister Xiao Qiao's tombstone, gently stroked the tombstone, with a lonely and sad expression on his face, which seemed to be over a hundred years old, which made Xulagu remember it deeply; for himself, the man standing here was not the supreme and invincible demon king, but just a sad old man.

That expression never appeared after he returned to his true body, but Hulagu still believed that the mood still existed, and it existed under this heroic laughter expression.

During this period, Shi Chong did a lot of things, what about you?What did you do except settle the old man who settled in the White Deer Cave?

When Yinzhen was in seclusion, Shi Chong took on all the administrative work, not only responsible for handling nearly ten million new demons, eliminating and selecting them, forming a new army, but also re-switching left-behind masters and troops from the demon world to fill the gap in the strength of the demons in the human world.

Compared to Shi Chong, Hulagu did much less, only seeing Chires in private, and also enlisted or liberated the White Deer Cave Confucian scholars group that he had deliberately preserved before. In addition, Hulagu ignored the great cause of the demon clan.

Of course, I have to think about it for me. The attacks from Uncle Temujin that day were mainly hit on me. The attacks that remained were much lighter. Of course, I had to spend time recuperating my injuries. It was also worth doing less.

Since you have chosen the camp, it is impossible for you to keep idle.As the son of the devil, you have responsibilities that you cannot escape.

So, does His Majesty the Demon King want to deliver the task to me?

Yinzhen affirmed Hulagu's question, and what he wanted to tell Hulagu was the highest secret of the demon clan for two thousand years - the secret on Kunlun Mountain.

The Kunlun Mountain in Japan is one of the four major vitality caves of the Wind Continent, sealing the energy that is enough to shake this continent.

Because the matter is of great importance, the Queen Mother of the West is responsible for guarding it and not allowing others to approach it.

But each of the four major caves is equally important. Why is only Kunlun caves particularly guarded?Have you ever thought about the truth in this?

Isn't it because there is a big snake there?The Yaqi Snake is a very dangerous thing. I often think that during the war in the Jiuzhou, if the Queen Mother of the West could use the Yaqi Snake as a biological weapon and throw it to the demon base camp, the demons would have been completely destroyed.

This sounded like some kind of sarcasm to Yinzhen, but he ignored it.

The seal of the Yakio Snake was after the birth of the Queen Mother of the West.The God of Creation created the Queen Mother of the West to protect the Kunlun Cave, which itself has secrets that must be particularly hidden.

After going around for most of the time, the point is to the immortal tree, right?

Hulagu learned early in the morning that in the plan of the demons invading the human world, the immortal tree on Kunlun Mountain is a very important joint, and it can even be said to be the primary target. Therefore, when Japan sinks land, the immortal tree and Kunlun Mountain sink to the bottom of the sea together, which makes Yinzhen angry and rarely denounces Shi Chong and other ministers, but what secrets does the immortal tree hide? Hulagu never took the initiative to care about it in the past, so he knew nothing.

In ancient legends, the immortal tree is the focus of the survival of the Queen Mother of the West.

Every Queen Mother of the West did not give birth to offspring during her lifetime. After death, the soul and essence returned to the immortal tree, and was absorbed and purified by the immortal tree. New babies were born from the immortal tree, becoming the new generation of Queen Mother of the West.

Even the demons knew about this legend, but apart from this, they did not hear that the immortal tree was important. It neither produced high-value medicines nor buried the powerful weapons of the Renhe Divine Soldiers, so no one was interested in it.

It was about a thousand years ago that Shi Chong became one of the three leaders of the Qianye family. He got some clues from the information of the Qianye family. Later, he infiltrated in reverse and gradually extended his power into Kunlun Mountain and mastered the Queen Mother of the West, and confirmed the truth of this secret.

The God of Creation created the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Cave. His real purpose was to protect the Immortal Tree, and the meaning of the Immortal Tree was not just as simple as the birth of the Queen Mother of the West.

When the Immortal Tree is combined with the Yuanqi Cave, its superpowers will become an unprecedented control hub once activated.

Control hub?What to control?

People's hearts.

People...heart?

Hulagu's expression showed his confusion.

Yinzhen did not make any further additions, but just looked at Hulagu quietly, as if he believed that he would understand, and this vision made Hulagu gradually affirm the confusion in his heart.

Your Majesty the Demon King, wouldn’t you tell me that the immortal tree can operate its ideas and influence people’s hearts?

It's not just an impact. Once the power of the Immortal Tree is activated, it can operate the brains of all creatures on the Wind Continent through the Yuanqi Cave and directly give orders to it. Although it probably cannot affect the warriors of the heavenly level, in comparison, there are much more creatures that have not entered the heavenly level.

Yinzhen said: Manipulating people's hearts is a common problem for all conquerors throughout history.During the War in Jiuzhou, we were also very worried about this problem. These humans could neither kill them nor manage them. If they were not careful, they would immediately cause trouble... After Shi Chong discovered the secret of the Immortal Tree, it became the key point that the demons must win, but at that time there were still many obstacles to protecting Kunlun Mountain and needed to be cleared one by one...

In name, the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Mountains is under the jurisdiction of the brothel alliance and also maintains considerable contacts with Reins.

Before Shi Chong could fully grasp the Queen Mother of the West, if he made too big moves or relied on his tough robbery, he would alert the enemy.

Maybe others are not able to interfere, but Reince also has a Melin Green. Before Yinzhen appeared and came out of seclusion, no one on the demons could be an enemy, and Shi Chong had to choose to act in a low-key manner.

However, when Shi Chong finally took the Queen Mother of the West for his own use and eliminated the obstacles of the Yaqi Orochi, the immortal tree he had dreamed of sank to the bottom of the sea together with Kunlun Mountain. Ren Shi Chong had the ability to be in heaven and had no way to do it. It was not until the battle of Zhongdu City, the energy of the heaven and earth energy reversed and Japan rose again that the problem was solved.

Now that the obstacles have been cleared, Shi Chong also sent the Dragon troops to Japan, but if he wants to go to Japan, he must travel through Reince. The magic barrier set up by them made it impossible for us to cross directly by space jumping. Although we can also take a detour from the Free City,... we should also deal with the Reince people. I want to leave this work to you.

Yinzhen said something for a while, but Hulagu just stood under the steps and looked up slantedly with a very strange look.

Hello, old man?

What's up?

Xulagu did not use His Majesty's honorific words, and Yinzhen did not blame him, because he knew very well that under the appearance of gorgeous clothes and elegant etiquette, this son also had a wild heart similar to Chires, occasionally breaking out like a wild horse and uncontrolled. The three wars of Mai Shi were such uncontrolled actions. Although he knew that he would interfere, he still acted provocatively until he came forward to stop the war, and then he stopped briefly.

If you are not angry, you will be powerful, and if you are angry, you will be afraid of the world.

Yinzhen did not want to over-depress her character, so that she could extend more unhappiness. Now she does not need to be strict with the details, but to figure out what the source of Hulagu’s unhappiness is. Of course, Yinzhen knew it.

Manipulate people's hearts?Do you really believe that kind of ghost thing in the world?

For two thousand years, for 90% of humans on the Wind Continent, the invasion of the demons is just a lie to coax children, but today, we are still here.

I don't like this practice. That immortal tree sounds very unpleasant.

Because using the Immortal Tree to manipulate people's hearts, is this not in line with your aesthetics?However, this has been decided long ago. Your two choices are obedience... and obedience. Unless you have already planned to usurp the throne of the Demon King, you can only act according to the rules.

He said so clearly that Hulagu had no room for doubt.

He put away his slightly angry eyes and replied to his usual cynical and unrestrained smile. Before leaving, Hulagu asked a question.

Your Majesty the Demon King, do you have a question to ask for?

What's the problem?

Is this chair you are sitting on now comfortable to sit?

The son's strange problem made Yinzhen stunned.

The chair he is sitting on is originally a dragon throne passed down by Emperor Eltino. It has been sitting for a long time since he sat on it as Cao Shou. After the Zhongdu War ended, Shi Chong found and restored it in the ruins of the fire palace. However, in order to respect the tradition of the demons, the sides of the seats were widened and the relief of the golden dragon was changed to a hundred hideous monsters, and the color was also changed from golden paint to ink.

Compared with the chair you used to be, which one is more comfortable to sit?

Even His Majesty, the talented and stubborn Demon King made this problem a little confused.

Basically, Yinzhen only talked with Hulagu about the great cause of the demon clan and his guidance on martial arts, but he didn't like to talk about these trivial matters of life that he enjoyed. However, because Hulagu asked seriously, Yinzhen still answered.

The two chairs were not very different, but if you could barely say it, the chair before was of moderate size and did not have too many carved thorn backs, so it was easier to sit up.

Since the chair in the past is more comfortable, why not let Old Man Shi help you change the one in the past?

Because the style of the Demon King Throne is formulated according to the ancestral system, it must be in such a form and carving to represent the status and dignity of the Demon King. Even I must abide by it. Moreover... As a great Demon God King, sitting on the dragon throne of the human emperor, it is inappropriate and will also cause criticism from subordinates.

oh!So that's it...

Hulagu saluted with respect, but stepped out with laughter. When he left the palace gate, his last words echoed repeatedly in the empty palace.

Your Majesty the Demon King, you are invincible in martial arts and powerful in the world, but you can’t even decide the style of a chair by yourself. What kind of demon king is this?

The wild laughter seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to be extremely regretful. When the laughter lingered in Yinzhen's ears and continued for a long time, he felt that he was speechless about his son's questions.

When the demons began to formulate new tactics against Reins, Reins also took action.Xiaocao and Gengoro from Jixia got a very important message from Ni'er.

After the Zhongdu War, Xiaocao was sorting out various useful information, hoping to find a way to improve his current situation. Otherwise, when Yinzhen recovered from injury, the invincible power of Taitian throne would be invincible at all. The consequence would be that he would be killed into Jixia and eliminated.

As the strongest combat power of Reins, Lancelo has not been able to enter the Zhai Tian position for a long time and is not yet proficient in mastering power, let alone break through to the Zhai Tian position. The invincible realm of the Tai Tian position has only a few people who have had the opportunity to enter in history, and there is no written record left at all, and there is no reference or imagination.

But in a hazy five-mile fog, someone pointed out a bright light, that is, the former Demon King, who once surpassed the Taitian Realm, Temujin.

At that time, Ni'er, who was teleported back to Jixia, was slowly disappearing from everyone's eyes. The devil with black helmet and black armor was pressed into her ears and whispered a valuable message.

Go to Zhongzhishan and find four words.

In two short sentences, Temujin's method of giving advice to Yinzhen. Zhongzhishan is the place where the demon kings of all dynasties are meditation and enlightenment. According to legend, before the Deep Blue Demon King became a god, he created the ultimate mystery of the Demonic Art there. If he could understand it, the power of the practitioner would enter a peerless realm that would melt the past and shake the present.

But after hearing these eight words, Ni'er almost screamed out because Temujin had been away from the demon world for two thousand years and did not know the latest situation. The Zhongshi Mountain had been wiped out by Yinzhen's troops, and the effective loyal Temujin's remnants had been killed. Even the secrets carved on the stone wall were scraped and shoveled away without leaving any trace. Although the direction pointed out by Temujin was correct, it was too late.

With shock and regret, Ni'er was teleported back to Jixia, and later told everyone this message, beating her chest and stamping her feet.

Really!Why do dead people always speak like this? He has time to say eight words to me, why don’t he just say those four words? Isn’t it much more troublesome?Even if I say it directly, I am afraid that I won’t understand it, plus the four words "六文" and the same eight words are much more efficient, so I don’t have to say a few nonsense in the end!

Ni'er, who was recuperating from the hospital bed, was so angry that she jumped when she talked about this. Seeing that a possible hope was shattered, Ni'er was really unwilling to accept it.

Since this matter has lost its meaning, it is no secret. Ailing, Youxue, and some academicians of the Taiyan Academy who came to visit the hospital have heard Nier's regret and helped guess what four words it was. For a moment, Nier's ward was in a hurry.

Miss Nier, do you think it is possible to be... self-reliant and self-reliant?

...Next.

Based on our current situation, would it be... to surrender quickly?

Everyone, drag this person out and beat him until his mother couldn't recognize him.Next.

Well!Well!I think...right!Become a superman and you can retreat to the enemy!

You said eight words, wait and everyone will help this guy dress up as Superman, and then send him to Yinzhen in an emergency package, and I will pay the postage.Next one.

In order to save the country and the entire world, the people in the ward can almost be said to have made suggestions one after another.

The intelligence of the academician of Taiyan Academy is far above the average IQ of the people of Reins. He usually has a lot of experience in cracking passwords, but at this time there are many different opinions. If you say something or I say something, you can't find a possible real codeword.

Amid the uproar, Xue Te, who was the Prime Minister Zuo, really lived up to his status and had extraordinary political wisdom, and put forward his guess.

Do you think it is possible to be... fuck your mother?

Most people don’t understand the allusion between Lancelo and Huang Taiji. When they heard Youxue say this, they only thought that the Prime Minister cursed and his mother was fucked for no reason. She was secretly annoyed with a rude personality. Some of the more obsessed minds began to think about the meaning of this sentence.

Nier is also a person who knows the past of Lancelo. Hearing Youxue say this, he secretly guessed whether it was possible that this sentence, but after thinking about it, he always felt that it was too incredible. He shook his head and resolutely rejected the proposal.

However, when the news came to Gengoro and Kocao's ears, they had different ideas.

With Yinzhen's persistence in the human world, the vitality of the demon clan in the human world is severely damaged, so he will definitely transfer people from the local area of ​​the demon world.Originally, he should have been properly allocated, left-behind and left-behind and attacked, but because of the Yuanshi Cannon's attack, he had to mobilize the left-behind manpower.

Well, so... in your opinion, I think that this hastily changing personnel and urgent dispatch will cause a vacancy behind him?

right!Under normal circumstances, Yinzhen's rear was a piece of iron barrel and had geographical benefits. It was not easy for us to do something, but it was different now. If Yinzhen transferred the master to the human world, his rear would inevitably be empty, especially... the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.

For Xiaocao and Gengoro, the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons is just a noun in the document. Although the record describes the appearance of this Demon Palace, there are only a few strokes, peeking from afar; from before the Battle of Kyushu until now, no human has ever entered the palace of this great Demon God King to get a glimpse of the mystery.

No matter what secrets are hidden in the termination mountain, with Yinzhen's cautious personality, since he immediately destroyed it after reading it, it would be impossible to leave another copy in other places.

The idea of ​​finding the secret of the four words in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace is undoubtedly a matter of seeking fish from the tree, but even if the secret of the four words cannot be found, the Ten Thousand Demons Palace itself still has value.

During the human-demon war, although the demons prevailed, some demons defected from time to time because of the power struggle, and defected from the demons to Reinth for joint efforts or protection, so that we can master the information of the demons.

Xiaocao said: Under the ground of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, there is a facility similar to the Ivory White Tower underground palace. It is the place where the great demon god kings of all dynasties practice martial arts. The stone wall is engraved with many secret magic techniques, including various external martial arts of the Heavenly Demon Art.

But I remember that His Majesty Monkey has learned all the external martial arts of the Demonic Art, so there is no need to go and see it again, right?

If you only come from the perspective of a warrior, of course this is true, but the underground palace of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace also contains the influence of the craftsman.

Well, you mean a curse similar to the Demon Sutra, right?

The Heavenly Demon Art is the so-called forbidden curse martial art. Under normal circumstances, unless you have read the Heavenly Demon Sutra and concluded the curse contract on the homepage, you can only practice to the highest level of the twelfth level of heaven; otherwise, if someone tells the content of the Heavenly Demon Sutra by others, and even informs the mantras of the twelfth level of heaven, you will be limited by the power of the mantra, and you will have no hope of practicing to the Taitian realm in eternal life.

The reason why Yinzhen was able to enter the Taitian Realm was not because of the Heavenly Demon Sutra, but because it took two thousand years to experience, comprehend and master the power of Temujin before his death. Only then did he not take the shortcut and fully understand the power of Taitian Realm.

Lancelo is the orthodox inheritor of the Heavenly Demon Sutra. He is definitely higher than Yinzhen in the ranking of inheriting the secret skills of the Heavenly Demon Art. If there are any curse underground in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace that only affects the orthodox inheritors of the Heavenly Demon Art, it is reasonable.

In any case, in the current situation, existing resources are of no use to improve the situation, and we can only find ways to change from other places.

Under the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, is there really an unknown secret of magical skills? This matter is half false, but selecting people to enter the Demon Realm, there is a certain degree of risk. What's more, once a group of people are assigned to the Demon Realm, the defensive power of Jixia will be weakened. If the enemy army is approaching, we may not be able to defend it. Is this risk... worth it?

Oh, you are worried that the enemy army will be in the face of Ah, so let’s change our minds.Xiaocao said: Yinzhen recovered from his injury and came to Jixia in person. Everyone here is in a peak state. All the staff are here. If you fight in such a vigorous battle, what do you think we will have a chance of winning?

The process may be brilliant, but the final result is... 100% wiped out.

It's Ah, what's wrong with not sending people to the Demon Realm?Even if we don’t disperse our strength, if Yinzhen comes, will he still have two more people to die?

Therefore, in this case, the people sent to the Demon Realm may be the only hope. Only when they discover something in the Demon Realm can they bring strength to compete with Yinzhen. Based on this consideration, the list of whom should be sent to the Demon Realm is very clear.

The demon world is different from the human world. It is full of dangers. It is impossible to send people there casually. Those who take on this responsibility must have certain self-defense ability and must have a connection with the demon race. Otherwise, if you enter the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons but cannot resonate with the magic power, wouldn’t that be bad?
