Chapter 156

"An ancient land,"

A touch of yearning appeared in the Great Elder's voice, "And this is actually the main purpose for the various geniuses to participate, because there are incredibly precious Marquis-level opportunities inside!"

Speaking of this, one could clearly see the Great Elder's hands tighten slightly.

And Meng Zhangqing's eyes also shrank slightly.

Marquis!

In his many previous conversations with Xi Yingqing, he naturally asked more questions about the realm.

According to him.

Realms below the Marquis level can all be broken through by one's own aptitude and comprehension.

But the Marquis level is completely different.

It also requires corresponding ancient spiritual objects!

As for why specifically, the Sect Master didn't say much, perhaps considering that he was still far from the Marquis level.

One must possess spiritual objects to be able to become a Marquis!

Then the importance of spiritual objects is self-evident!

"Marquis."

Ambition appeared in Meng Zhangqing's eyes.

No matter where, once one steps into the Spirit-Connecting Realm, they are a top-tier expert.

Let alone the Marquis level above Life-Death!

They are almost legendary existences, incredibly rare and powerful, enough to establish a major sect, and... an ancient clan!

The power they possess is even more unimaginable.

Destroying mountains and breaking peaks?

Turning rivers and overturning seas?

Those are all done with a casual wave.

According to the Sect Master, that is the great power that can cover the world, sweep across mountains and rivers, and stabilize the universe!

It is just a pity that Marquis-level resources are too scarce.

Causing many Life-Death Realm experts to die in depression.

So whenever Marquis-level resources appear, they will cause countless people to fight for them!

They dare not miss it!

He didn't expect that this Southern Border Talent Battle would involve such top-tier resources.

Then he absolutely must not miss it!

"The Savage Sea only opens once every hundred years. You are lucky to happen to encounter it, so try your best not to let it slip through your fingers."

The Great Elder raised his hand and patted Meng Zhangqing's shoulder.

"Please rest assured, Second Senior Brother, I will grasp it."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

Resources of this level, I'm afraid even the sect doesn't have them, and even if they say they do, they must have been used up.

It is impossible to have kept them until now.

Then the Great Elder introduced the situation of the Southern Border to Meng Zhangqing again.

Allowing him to deepen his understanding.

The thirteen states of the Southern Border.

Although the Heavenly Spirit State is not the weakest, it is not much better; if one really has to rank them, it is about the tenth.

Because of this, whether it is top-level strength or potential.

It cannot compare to the major states at the front.

There is no way, who let the major states at the back not be strong enough in the previous Southern Border Talent Battles to grab resources.

As time passed, the gap became larger and larger.

Later on, they were almost unable to compete and could only take some scraps to barely 'get by.'

——

During the chat.

They had already arrived at the Divine Wind Canyon.

A long time ago, this was a very magnificent landscape.

But now it is rolling with demonic energy.

Incredibly sinister.

The dozen or so cloud ships sped downward.

Tearing through much demonic energy.

Reaching the very depths.

One could see that there was a continuous and massive complex of buildings here.

Palaces, pavilions, and so on.

Orderly and clearly arranged.

And at the very front, there was a huge crack lying in the void.

All the demonic energy was emanating from within.

And from time to time, there were invisible things impacting the array, making shrill, piercing cries.

If one's cultivation was relatively low.

It would even be easy to feel dizzy and have one's consciousness damaged.

However, those who could come here to guard were at least at the Spirit-Opening Realm.

So as long as they didn't go deep into the Heavenly Demon Abyss, there would be no problem.

Now.

There were not many Myriad Phenomena Pavilion martial artists left here.

Most had already left.

Only a few dozen people remained, all of whom were array masters.

As the cloud ships landed.

A figure also appeared in front of the cloud ships.

It was an old man in a green robe.

Holding an array disk.

His eyes were narrow and long, looking a bit sinister.

But the divine light in his eyes was extremely rich.

Clearly.

This was an expert who had already stepped into the peak of the Spirit-Connecting Realm!

"Great Elder Lin Xuankong, you are a bit slow."

The green-robed martial artist said slowly.

There was some displeasure in his voice.

"As a Fifth-Grade Grand Array Master, Old Qing, can you not even wait for this little bit of time?"

Before the Great Elder could speak, the Peak Master of the Array Peak took the initiative to walk up.

The Peak Masters of the Medicine King Peak and the Array Peak were both women.

It's just that the one from the Array Peak looked slightly younger, perhaps having used youth-preserving elixirs or the like.

Her name was Xu Lingyue.

Spirit-Connecting Realm, 1st Layer... Provisional!

"Xu Lingyue."

Old Qing looked at her deeply.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It seemed as if he had suffered losses at the hands of Xu Lingyue before.

"This is the array disk for the Demon-Sealing Array; from now on, it will be fully handed over to you."

Old Qing threw the array disk over directly.

Xu Lingyue caught it.

After skillfully inputting a few hand seals.

The array disk merged into her palm.

Seeing this, Old Qing didn't say anything more and flew away directly with the remaining Myriad Phenomena Pavilion martial artists.

"According to the previous arrangements, find your own residences and positions!"

The Great Elder looked around and said.

"Yes!"

Many figures flew down from the cloud ships.

Starting to take over the positions left by the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion one by one.

"Nineteenth Junior Brother, take out your Void Mirror,"

Xu Lingyue walked to Meng Zhangqing's side, her smile gentle, "You need to establish a connection with the array disk, so that you can leave the Heavenly Demon Abyss when you encounter danger."

"Okay, Senior Sister."

Meng Zhangqing nodded and took out the Void Mirror given by the Great Elder.

At the same time, his heart stirred.

Nineteenth Junior Brother.

This meant that in the Sect Master's generation, there were originally eighteen people in total.

But right now, he had only seen eight people.

The Sect Master, the six Peak Masters, plus the Pavilion-Guarding Elder.

Then where were the other ten people?

"Alright."

After Xu Lingyue input a few hand seals, she returned the Void Mirror to Meng Zhangqing.

Immediately, she acted like a big sister next door.

Helping Meng Zhangqing tidy up his slightly messy collar.

This caught Meng Zhangqing off guard.

After all, before this, he had never spoken to this Peak Master Senior Sister.

"At my age, to still be able to have a Junior Brother is something I never thought of before,"

There was a hint of emotion in Xu Lingyue's voice, "It's really nice."

The last two words.

Had a strange flavor to them.

"Alright, prepare yourselves, let's enter the Heavenly Demon Abyss."

The Great Elder said.

Hearing this.

Xu Lingyue glanced at him, then turned into a stream of light and headed to the Demon-Sealing Array eye.

For the time to come.

She would basically be sitting here.

And the Great Elder no longer paid attention to Meng Zhangqing.

He had his own things to handle.

Meng Zhangqing flashed and left the cloud ship, arriving in front of the huge crack.

One couldn't see what was behind the crack.

Because the demonic energy was too thick, it just felt very gloomy.

"Hey, bad... Uncle-Master Meng."

A familiar voice sounded from behind; it was Mo Xiaoyu.

She originally wanted to call him 'bad guy' as usual, but when they came out, her master repeatedly warned her to pay attention to seniority in public.

She could only force herself to change her words.

"Uncle-Master."

Han Luoyu was also there.

In addition, there was also a top genius from the Martial Peak.

Previously ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List.

His name was Lin Xiaotian.

Now he was already at the Spirit-Connecting Realm, 1st Layer.

"Uncle-Master Meng."

More than ten other Spirit-Connecting Realm martial artists also bowed one after another.

Although their ages were almost twice that of Meng Zhangqing.

It was useless.

The seniority was placed here.

They could only obediently address him as such.

"Hmm."

Meng Zhangqing smiled and nodded.

He actually didn't care about these formalities.

At this very moment, he just wanted to hurry into the Heavenly Demon Abyss, find an uninhabited place, and fuse the core secret art of the Ancient Demon Sect!

"Supreme, Holy, Peerless, Sovereign True Demon Art"!

And then start extracting Heavenly Demon Qi!
