Chapter 245 – Demon Scheming! Abyssal Tide!
Chapter 245 – Devil Race Scheming! Abyssal Tide!
The shore of the Eastern Sea.
The void was densely covered with runes, the vast light was dense, and the divine haze danced, reflecting the void.
A huge city was under intense construction.
An ancient fae species that covered the sky flew through the void, pulling behind them Immortal Gold and Treasure Mines that were as huge as mountains.
One divine furnace after another with appalling temperatures was ignited, and a large number of top refiners and forgers known in the Southern Prefecture gathered around the divine furnaces, staring at the smelting of the materials therein with incomparable concentration.
The construction of this divine city had only just begun, a foundation had been laid, and there was just an outline, suspended in the void, holy light filled the air, and it already had a daunting and terrifying aura, as if it was an ancient god or devil about to awaken.
“Furnace A is at just the right temperature, maintain the status quo!”
“Puppet number C pay attention to the strength, the toughness of the Heavenly Thunder Wood can’t carry such pounding!”
“Area XC, we need 100,000 pounds of Nine Flare Spirit Wood, mobilize it as soon as possible!”
“Formation team, please pay attention, DC zone A13 to A37 sections of the city wall need to be inscribed with formation patterns, please arrive as soon as possible!”
“……”
The place was bustling with activity and busy.
Countless cultivators shuttled over the city, a stream of light as brilliant as fireworks.
Unfortunately, no one had the heart to appreciate such a scene.
Everyone’s expressions were serious and anxious, fearing that they weren’t moving fast enough!
There was only one building that had been roughly completed in this nascent Zhen Demon City, and located at the core of the city, there was a towering black tower with an ancient shape, black as ink, but at the top there was an incomparably magnificent gemstone, like a multi-faceted mirror, emanating a palpitating aura, with its light covering the entire Zhen Demon City.
This was the absolute centerpiece of Zhen Demon City.
In the drawings given by the Holy Son of the Three Purities, all of the puppets, formations, devices, and offensive weights within the Devil Suppressing City were all laid out around this tower.
The Black Tower had yet to be named.
However, everyone knew that the highest part of this tower was currently where the Three Clear Sacred Son stayed.
……
The Immortal Alliance showed enough importance to Wang Xiu.
In such a shortage of manpower right now, in addition to the hundreds of young cultivators who were on standby to convey his meaning, there were also a full six Saints and one Earth Immortal, hidden in the middle of the surrounding void, protecting him.
It was said that they were preventing the Demon Race’s undercover agents hidden in the Human Race from sneaking in and working against him.
This arrangement was not empty talk.
In these days, five batches of demonic disciples who had been seeded with demonic seeds had already appeared in Zhenmu City, but they didn’t have the time to do anything to Wang Xiu, they just investigated everything in Zhenmu City, trying to figure out the city’s bottom line.
The movement to build Zhenmu City was too big.
It was difficult to hide it from those who were interested in it, and it was normal to attract secret agents.
Their concealment method was incomparably brilliant, and even out-of-body powers would have a hard time seeing anything fishy.
Even if an Apparent Saint powerhouse did not pay special attention, and their divine sense swept through at random, it would be difficult to discover their whereabouts.
But fortunately, on the first day that Wang Xiu arrived at Zhen Demon City.
He then discussed with the Immortal Alliance and borrowed a [Demon Illuminating Mirror] to hang on the top of the Black Tower.
This was the Xuanji Cave Heaven’s Immortal Artifact of the Town, with infinite power.
It could well monitor the abnormal conditions within Zhenmu City, and although the demonic aura on those devils was weak to the extreme, it could hardly escape the observation of the Demon Shining Mirror.
As soon as those devil disciples entered Zhen Demon City.
They were taken down directly, and there was no time for any news to be spread.
……
At this moment, the topmost floor of the Black Tower.
Wang Xiu sat in the middle of a pile of blank jade talismans, his right hand continuously branding and drawing runes in the void.
A basin of fine sand was placed next to his left hand.
As he flicked his fingers, countless fine sands combined and continuously formed the shape of a city.
If someone observes carefully, they will find that the city is really a shrunken Zhenmu City countless times, only …… it is all constructed and finished.
But this “town magic city” model in the rapid change, a moment a mold.
Continuously combined, the speed is amazingly fast, the ordinary human eye is difficult to capture.
“Hiss, what is he doing?” In the void, the powerhouses responsible for secretly protecting him secretly discussed.
“Deduction! He’s deducing the direction of Zhenmu City!”
“Aren’t the drawings already finalized?”
“That’s just the foundation, it’s not detailed enough, look at the one he just coalesced, there are nearly 30,000 different formations laid out in the city, large and small, every 10,000 formations converge into one large formation, all the formations are gathered together in one place, it’s another giant formation that envelops the entire city, it’s simply ingenious!”
“Such a stunning program, why did he give it up?”
“Perhaps, he felt it wasn’t good enough ……”
In the void, a strong person sighed, and a thought always surrounded Wang Xiu’s left and right, with complicated meanings.
Suddenly, Wang Xiu’s movements slightly paused, and his left hand lightly waved.
The gravel flew up in the sky, and models of a full five Zhenmu Cities emerged, simultaneously projecting changes.
The evolution of each model was different.
It was even the diametrically opposite path.
There were so many variations that it was dizzying to watch.
“Hiss, this son has great arithmetic!”
“More than outstanding? Each of his scenarios is incredibly complex and unmatched, and deducing them at the same time puts an unimaginable strain on the divine soul!” Strong people in the void marveled and sucked in cold air.
The Devil Suppressing City was too huge, and Wang Xiu’s scenarios were too detailed.
Programs like the previous one, which was shrouded by tens of thousands of formations, were only unusual, and there were many more complex ones than this.
Even if one were to quietly go through them one by one, it would take a long time.
It was hard to imagine just what level Wang Xiu’s mind was operating at.
With such madness, could his divine soul withstand it?
“Brother Su, you, Xuanji Cave Heaven, are also famous for your puppetry skills, why don’t you go help this kid?” Someone spoke out, looking at an old man with white hair beside him.
That was a Saint Ancestor of Xuanji Cave Heaven, who was magnificent in his youth and was known as the number one person in the Southern State’s puppetry course.
He had once competed with the most prestigious heavenly pride of the Three Clear Immortal Sect Fuck Vein at the time for a full three years, without a win or a loss.
However, at this moment, this Xuanji Cave Heaven saint was filled with bitterness and shook his head, “It’s not that the old man intentionally stood by coldly, it’s …… really that he couldn’t intervene!”
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
This person can’t even intervene?
Really?
The saint from the Xuanji Cave Heaven smiled bitterly, having a mouthful of words, not knowing where to start.
“I am ashamed, I have been studying the puppet way for a lifetime, but today I realized that I have gone astray …… This son has already embarked on a brand new path, which is neither the way of the Three Clear Manipulation Veins, nor the way of my Xuanji!” He let out a sigh, his words filled with sighs.
In other words, Wang Xiu’s Dao, he could not understand!
The pattern was too big, the thinking was too ingenious, and the techniques were too skillful, and he couldn’t even keep up with Wang Xiu’s ideas.
“Look, you guys!” Suddenly, a sage exclaimed.
The crowd looked in succession.
They only saw that the model in front of Wang Xiu changed again and again, and actually ten seats appeared directly, and then it even turned into twenty and a hundred!
The void was covered with the “Demon City” built by gravel.
Each grain of gravel is emitting golden light, incomparably divine, exuding a magnificent and simple atmosphere, constantly changing, ever-changing.
“Is this kid crazy? Deducing a hundred scenarios at the same time?” The Xuanji Cave Heaven’s saint’s eyes were covered in blood, shocked and afraid.
If Wang Xiu collapsed here, they wouldn’t be able to explain it, they wouldn’t be able to say anything!
“Quickly stop him!”
“Wait!”
A cool voice rang out.
All the saints were startled and stopped their movements, saluting at the nothingness.
A delicate figure silently emerged, white hair like a waterfall, appearance is absolutely beautiful, skin crystal, the surrounding void temperature drops steeply, seems to be frozen. The Snow Ancestor slowly stepped out, her gaze falling on Wang Xiu through the nothingness, “Don’t disturb him!”
The saints were dumbfounded, wanting to say something, but looking at the face of the Snow Ancestor, they did not continue to say anything after all.
The Three Qing’s Earth Immortal powerhouses had spoken, what else could they say?
The next scene.
It shocked everyone even more.
Just when they thought that deducing a hundred [Devil Suppressing City] scenarios at the same time had already reached Wang Xiu’s limit.
Wang Xiu flicked his fingers and a hundred models instantly turned into a thousand.
Golden gravel spread over this void.
It was like an ocean.
Subsequently, the entire thousand models changed at a rapid pace, diffusing a variety of different scenarios at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, Wang Xiu’s right hand still did not stop, continuously inscribing runes.
“One Mind, One Thousand Uses!”
“Something’s not right, this kid’s divine soul strength is amazing, and his arithmetic power is even more heaven-defying!” The pupils of the saints shrank as if they had seen a ghost.
A YuanYing stage cultivator, even if his accumulation was thicker, it was impossible for him to have such a terrifying soul strength to carry out a hundred incomparably complex deductions at the same time, even if he came from the Gua Vein and was proficient in arithmetic, it was never possible!
……
“Found it!”
Wang Xiu’s movements suddenly lurched, and the light in his eyes was so dense that it was as if a vast firework had blossomed. Divine sunlight burst forth.
All the gravel in the sky fell, like a meteor shower encircling the circumference, brilliant and incomparable.
Only a model of the Zhen Demon City was suspended, the haze filled the sky, the fog was dense, as if hidden in the chaos of the divine city, even though it was only a model, it made the hearts of all the powerhouses in the void tremble, it was as if they were looking towards immortality.
This was after Wang Xiu had deduced tens of thousands of scenarios.
The final choice!
It was also the limit of what he could do in this current situation!
Clatter!
Wang Xiu’s mind moved, and uncountable jade talismans flew up, their light flickering as a message was codified in them.
These jade talismans then all flew out.
Landing outside the Black Tower, they were caught by the disciples waiting here and spread out.
Zhenmu City was suddenly bustling with activity.
A process unfolded in full swing.
……
Well ……
Wang Xiu let out a long breath, his face slightly white.
Deduction is very mind consuming.
Not to mention such a large amount of deduction, if it wasn’t for the fact that his Divine Soul power was amazing, and that The Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness was already good at multi-tasking, I’m afraid that it would have been difficult to persevere.
Frankly speaking, he was a bit anxious.
The project of building Zhen Demon City was too huge, and the movements on the Ying Demon Island side were unknown, so it was hard not to say when war would break out, so it was hard not to be in a hurry.
That’s why he made these seemingly crazy moves.
“Now that all the details of the entire Devil Suppressing City have been planned, there’s nothing for me to do!” After tuning in for a few moments to regain his energy, Wang Xiu slowly opened his eyes and pondered on what was next.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and with a slight movement of his mind, he awakened Cuba.
“What do you think about the abnormality within Ying Devil Island?”
Wang Xiu told Cuba about the current situation and asked him to help analyze it.
The behavior of the group of demons within Ying Devil Island was very strange, Zhuo Canglang and the others had been studying it for many days, and they had never been able to come up with a statement that would make sense, which was panic-inducing.
“Now, what day is it?” After listening to Wang Xiu, Guba’s expression changed slightly and asked such a question, his residual spirit was trapped and locked by Wang Xiu, and he could not perceive outside information without Wang Xiu’s consent.
“The sixth day of the ninth month!” Wang Xiu responded.
Cuba pondered, secretly calculating something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, “I know, it’s the Abyssal Tide!”
Wang Xiu’s eyes flashed, “What is that?”
“The Devil Realm’s celestial time law is different from the Cang Yuan Realm, every thousand years of time, when the Greedy Wolf goes north and the Breaking Army goes east, there will be an Abyssal Tidal Wave!” Cuba elaborated.
Wang Xiu had learned quite a bit about the Devil Realm from Cuba, for example, the Devil Realm was divided into eighteen layers of abyss, the lower …… the devil energy the denser it was, the more powerful the living beings were, and the food chain was hierarchical.
Cultivators cultivate immortality, and the last thing they seek is to go upwards, to ascend to heaven and become immortal.
While the devil world cultivation, it is downward, the stronger the strength, the more you can go down.
As long as one could enter the fifteenth layer of the abyss, one would have the opportunity to find a side portal to the Ancestral Demon Realm.
That was a realm of the same class as the Immortal Realm.
Entering the Ancestral Demon Realm was equivalent to the human race becoming Immortals and ascending.
As for the Eighteen Layer Abyss, it was rumored that it hadn’t been opened for countless years, and that it was a forbidden area.
True devils don’t dare to approach it.
Only the birth of a Demon Emperor can set foot there.
It is said to contain the origin power of the Abyssal Demon Realm, which is mysterious and unpredictable, and if you control it, you will be able to control the entire Demon Realm.
The so-called Abyssal Tide is a great blessing for the entire Demon Realm.
Every thousand years, there would be a burst of incomparably pure heaven and earth magic qi that would emerge from the 18th layer of the abyss and run through the entire Abyssal Demon Realm.
All the living beings that were tainted by this pure magic qi would have purer bloodlines, and even evolve their bloodlines to achieve amazing leaps.
Pure-blooded devils were expected to achieve True Devil.
And true devils …… also have a line of probability of awakening a celestial devil’s bloodline in their bodies.
Even if the bloodline could not be promoted.
As long as they refined that strand of demonic energy, their strength would multiply.
From Cuba’s narration, every time the Abyssal Tide appeared, it would cause the Abyssal Demon Realm to enter a great upheaval.
Because ……
Devils could plunder this strand of demonic energy by killing other of their kind.
“Abyssal tides that can affect Ying Devil Island?” Wang Xiu’s pupils shrunk, suddenly thinking of something.
“If …… the Beginning Devil City in Ying Devil Island is still there, it is indeed possible!” Cuba said this.
Back then, when the demon army first appeared in the East Sea, it was not as terrifying as it is now.
This was because the living beings of the Devil Realm had a hard time adapting to a heaven and earth without devil qi.
They would be suppressed here and wouldn’t be very strong.
But later, they built the Beginning Devil City, which was able to bring in a constant flow of devil qi from within the Abyssal Devil Realm, allowing them to exert their full battle power, and that was also the core of Ying Devil Island.
In the battle back then, the Beginning Devil City was definitely severely damaged, which the Three Clear Immortal Sect knew very well.
But after so many years had passed, perhaps those devil clans had repaired the Beginning Devil City, it was not known?
“The odds are that it was repaired!”
Wang Xiu judged in this manner, “Otherwise, the group of devils within Ying Devil Island wouldn’t have recovered so quickly, and there have even been revivals of Devil Emperor level powerhouses!”
“If that’s the case, then it’s very understandable!” Cuba said, “They’re waiting for the abyssal tides, and with the power of the tides, they’ll break through the seals in one fell swoop and descend into this world!”
And, under the influence of the abyssal tides!
They might be able to do what they failed to do even back then!
For example – truly enter the Southern State!
