Chapter 238 Empty Cave Sky, Exploring the Demon Realm

There are many trees with names in the world.

But if you don’t count the sacred trees and holy trees in myths and legends.

The Meishan Crooked Tree must be one of the most colorful trees in Chinese history.

After all, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Sizong, Emperor Chongzhen, and his friend Wang Chengen, hanged themselves on this crooked neck.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen's suicide at Meishan happened in historical time and space.

"Where is Emperor Chongzhen of this world?"

"Is he really dead, or is he hiding somewhere in the world, or simply in another world?"

In the Shenxiao Palace, Jiang Xuan looked at the picture in the Xuanguang Mirror and fell into deep thought.

On Meishan Mountain, Zhu Kaizhong also led Hu Cang across the cave-sky barrier and entered the Meishan Cave-Heaven.

As Hu Cang entered the Meishan cave, the Xuanguang mirror in front of Jiang Xuan also started to ripple in circles.

Looking at the distorted and weird picture in the mirror and listening to the intermittent sounds coming from his ears, Jiang Xuan frowned and then turned his attention to Tian Qing:

"Did this happen when Juzi was experimenting with Xuanguang glasses before?"

"Never."

Hearing Jiang Xuan's inquiry, Tian Qing, who was staring at the Xuanguang Mirror, also frowned and replied:

"This has never happened before when people were in heaven and then brought Xuanguang glasses into the underworld for experiments."

"By the way, Taoist Priest, you previously gave me formation authority so that Xuanguang Glasses can borrow the power of "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation"."

"Previously, the Xuanguang glasses were tested within the coverage area of ​​the large array, so the projected images were extremely stable."

"But the place where the Xuanguang Glasses are now located in the Meishan Cave is outside the coverage of the formation."

"Did this cause problems with the Xuanguang glasses' projection screen?"

Jiang Xuan nodded silently:

"It's possible."

"Juzi first finds someone to test the formation."

"Tian will find someone to test it now."

Seeing Tian Qing start to use magic to send messages, Jiang Xuan also put his hand on the screen in front of him.

The next moment, the picture of continuous ripples began to become clear.

The intermittent sounds in my ears began to become coherent.

However, Jiang Xuan's brows were still furrowed as he looked at the scene where ripples occasionally flashed across the screen.

"There seems to be something wrong with the 'Tao' in Meishan Cave."

"If you compare the laws of heaven's operation in this world, the Earthly Immortal Realm, Jiuyuan and other places to an engine."

"Then in these places, the engine runs very smoothly."

"But when we arrived at Meishan Dongtian, although the engine was still the same, it seemed that sand had entered the engine."

"Although it can still run, it stutters during operation and makes annoying noises."

In the Shenxiao Palace, Jiang Xuan frowned and understood the 'Tao' in the Meishan Cave Heaven through the connection between the Xuanguang Mirror in front of him and the Xuanguan Glasses.

Hu Cang, who entered the Meishan Cave, also looked at the bare Meishan Cave.

The topography of Meishan Cave is funnel-shaped as a whole, excluding the large gray area in the middle.

The entrance to the cave is suspended in mid-air, so once you enter the cave, you can clearly see the entire environment inside the cave.

Seeing that Hu Cang began to look at the environment in the cave as soon as he entered the cave, Zhu Kaizhong first invited Hu Cang to enter a military camp.

"I would also like Mr. Hu to know that there are twenty military camps in Meishan Cave."

"These twenty military camps have a radius of ten miles vertically and horizontally, and the deer village is a hundred feet high. In addition to a large number of military formations, there are also countless military strategists with valuable treasures to suppress the military camps."

"Each military camp has three soldiers cultivating the Sixth Realm, three hundred soldiers cultivating the Fifth Realm, three thousand soldiers cultivating the Fourth Realm, and one hundred thousand soldiers cultivating the Third Realm."

"In addition, there are millions of soldiers from the Second Realm."

"Of course, there are said to be millions of Second Realm Soldiers, but they basically take turns to rest, practice, or enter the Demon Realm to fight with enemies from other worlds."

"The number of second-level soldiers repairing in the camp is around 300,000."

Listening to Zhu Kaizhong's introduction, Hu Cang couldn't help but swallow as he looked at the military cultivators walking by, who seemed to be carrying endless evil spirits.

The patrolling military cultivator teams are composed of one fifth realm soldier, six fourth realm soldier cultivators, and thirty third realm soldier cultivators.

Hu Cang felt that if such a military cultivator team came up to the tenth team, and then summoned the military evil minister, they might be able to fight against him.

If there were hundreds of military repair teams like this, he might just turn around and leave.

"Fortunately, Bingxiu's life is short."

"If this were not the case, this world would probably be a world of military cultivators."

With a secret sigh, Hu Cang, led by Zhu Kaizhong, started walking around the military camp with one post every five steps and one post every ten steps.

While walking around, Zhu Kaizhong also introduced various items in the military camp.

"Mr. Hu, please look at this. This is the Kui Niu drum. It uses thunder cowhide as the drum head, thundering iron as the body, and ringing gold and jade as the ring."

"If you hit it with an earth-shaking hammer, it will make a sound of thunder."

"Let the soldiers from the Sixth Realm gather together to attack the Dharma Prime Minister and then beat the drum. The sound of thunder will be enough to kill the souls of the ordinary Sixth Realm monks."

"For hundreds of years, no fewer than three people from the six other realms died under the sound of Kui Niu's drums."

When Zhu Kaizhong finished speaking, Hu Cang saw that he was pointing at a bloody military flag and was about to speak, so he hurriedly asked:

"Is what you say true?"

"Didn't you tell Taoist Master Jiang before that only second-level monks can pass through this Demon Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kaizhong looked at Hu Cang and then replied:

"What I mean is that the Heavenly Demon Realm will suppress all monks' realms to the second realm. It's not that high-level monks cannot enter the Demon Realm."

"If a high-level monk is not afraid of death, he can naturally come in."

"In other worlds, there are often body-refining warriors who refine their bodies to make them indestructible. They enter the demonic realm, kill through the military formations, and then come to the Meishan Cave."

"Fortunately, most of those body-refining warriors don't cultivate their souls. If the Kui Niu drum shakes, they will become puppets waiting to be slaughtered."

When Jiang Xuan in Shenxiao Palace heard Zhu Kaizhong's explanation, he immediately frowned.

His lips moved slightly, and Hu Cang in the Meishan Cave also asked a question:

"If a body-refining cultivator enters the Demon Realm, won't his level be lowered?"

"Besides, if you take the treasures of heaven and earth and enter the Demon Realm to build a wall, can you build a high wall that people from other worlds cannot break through?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kaizhong glanced at the glasses on the bridge of Hu Cang's nose, and then said:

"When a body-refining cultivator enters the Demon Realm, his level will also be lowered."

"But in the lower three realms, body-refining cultivators are invincible."

"In addition, when they charged into battle, they were not alone. There were also troops from other worlds assisting them. The army did not dare to say that they could stop them all."

"That's why there are situations where people from the six other realms break through military formations, break out of the demonic realm, and enter the coal mountain cave."

After answering the first question, Zhu Kaizhong said again:

"As for building walls, it's not like we haven't tried it before."

"But the problem is that there are demons causing trouble in the Demon Realm."

"The ancestors once spent a lot of resources from heaven and earth to build a five-hundred-meter-high wall."

"But before it could be used, the demon extracted its aura, and the city wall turned into rubbish."

"In other words, if a spiritual object has its own aura, can it exist in the demonic realm?"

"For example, if a Lihuo Stone that can emit the power of the three realms is used in the Demon Realm, can it also exert the power of the three realms?"

Zhu Kaizhong shook his head when he heard this, "No."

"The power will be suppressed to the second level."

"Things above the second realm will be suppressed to the second realm as long as they are placed in the Demon Realm."

"Even if it is a spiritual object that takes time to be broken by monks in the Sixth Realm, the strength of the spiritual object will be suppressed to that of the Second Realm after entering the Demon Realm."

"It's just that this strength belongs to the limit of the second realm. Although the second realm monks can break it, it will take a lot of time."

"This is also the reason why we were willing to use natural materials and earthly treasures to build walls."

"After all, if we can stop the monks from other worlds a little bit, we can gain a lot of advantages."

During the conversation, Zhu Kaizhong had already led Hu Cang through two military camps and arrived at the area exuding gray fog.
