Chapter 415: Peerless Demon Nest

~14 min read 2,750 words

Inside the array within the array, everyone had different expressions.

Lin Shanshan was quite regretful; she realized she had misjudged Linghu Jiu!

"Big Brother has already mastered the sword art 'Lonely Snow at the End of the World' and can control it freely."

She also realized she had greatly underestimated Ning Zhuo.

"Even if I hadn't intervened, with the power of Ning Zhuo's strike just now, he could have won in one move."

"I was just being overly sentimental!"

"Miss Lin." Ning Zhuo's call made Lin Shanshan's heart tremble.

She turned back to look and saw Ning Zhuo showing her a sincere smile, his eyes full of gratitude: "Miss Lin, thank you for your help!"

"Brother Linghu and I were just sparring, but I was too eager just now, lacked thought, and used a heavy hand."

"Thanks to Miss Lin's timely intervention, I didn't commit a grave mistake."

A bit of comfort made Lin Shanshan feel warm inside.

Linghu Jiu slowly put away his long sword and smiled: "I am just an image of my true self, a Dharma body condensed by the Reflection Wall. Brother, you don't need to worry."

Ning Zhuo shook his head, his eyes as clear as water: "Brother, I have always treated you as my true self."

"If I didn't, wouldn't that be disrespectful to you?"

"I know you must have been concerned that I am a flesh-and-blood body, so you never used a heavy hand. How could I take advantage of that and act recklessly without any restraint?"

"I wanted this spar to be fairer."

Linghu Jiu laughed aloud: "Brother, oh brother."

Lin Shanshan clapped her hands and also smiled: "This spar should be a draw, um, I think this result is the best."

Amidst the laughter, the previous resentment in her heart also dissipated a lot.

Lin Bufan: ……

"Shanshan and Jiu'er still lack training."

"Could this kid Ning Zhuo have deliberately sought a draw?"

Lin Bufan's gaze toward Ning Zhuo had already changed subtly.

Before, he looked at him purely as an elder looking at a junior, from a high position, but after seeing that slash of the sickle, he valued Ning Zhuo much more.

"Ning Zhuo actually possesses Immortal Talent! And has such a temperament, I really don't know to what extent he will develop in the future."

The Five Elements God Lord was still studying that purple blade mark.

The Lonely Sword Monarch appeared.

His eyes were as deep as autumn water, carrying a trace of desolation, seeing through the prosperity of the world. His skin was slightly pale, as if he had been immersed in wind, frost, rain, and snow for many years.

He wore a green robe, elegant as water, his figure tall and straight; at this moment, holding a sheathed sharp sword, the aura he exuded made people feel a faint sadness and loneliness.

"This is an external path." He spoke lightly, then turned his gaze to Ning Zhuo.

Clearly, his tone and gaze were both plain, but Ning Zhuo felt that under his gaze, he was like being placed in ice and snow, seen through completely.

The Lonely Sword Monarch said: "Little friend Ning Zhuo, may I ask the origin of the sickle in your hand, does it originate from the Night Rain Dynasty?"

Ning Zhuo quickly bowed and said respectfully: "Senior Sword Monarch's eyes are like torches; it is indeed a demon weapon of the Night Rain Dynasty."

The Blood Slaughter Dynasty, the Forbidden Dynasty, and the Night Rain Dynasty, these three great dynasties each represent three important historical periods.

The Five Elements God Lord looked up and sighed: "It's a pity that my true self has passed away, and this Dharma body is confined within the Reflection Wall. If I could roam the world and meet all the heroes of the world, how happy that would be!"

The Lonely Sword Monarch also nodded slightly, showing a look of longing: "The front waves roll, the back waves surge. If I could test my sword against the world once more, even if I were defeated and died, it would be a joy."

During the Sword Monarch's era, he was also one of the top powerhouses in the world, having once traveled the world alone with a single sword, challenging all kinds of heroes and heroines.

Zhu Xuanji spoke: "The sickle in Ning Zhuo's hand is not an ordinary Night Rain demon weapon; it is quite special."

"Two seniors, I am quite curious."

"The Linlang Reflection Wall originates from the Martial Emperor era after the Blood Slaughter Dynasty, and has also experienced the subsequent two great dynasties, three great imperial dynasties, and countless dynasties."

"But just now, listening to what you two have done and said, I don't know about these subsequent events..."

The Five Elements God Lord was about to explain when another Dharma body appeared.

His eyebrows were thick like ink, his gaze deep, his hands long and powerful, his knuckles distinct.

On his robe were embroidered patterns of a brush and green grass.

He moved like a clear breeze brushing against a willow, with an innate elegance.

Seeing him, Lin Bufan immediately bowed: "Lord Grass Saint, junior has finally seen you again!"

The person who came was the image of the Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu.

Zhang Huaixu glanced at Lin Bufan, scanned the circle, and then paused on the purple blade mark.

"Lord Immortal Concubine already knows your intentions, please enter and talk." Zhang Huaixu said.

Lin Bufan immediately showed excitement: "Lord Jingyu Immortal Concubine actually summoned us, it is truly a great honor."

Zhang Huaixu shook his head lightly: "Any talented junior can be summoned by Lord Immortal Concubine. Today is a good day, first Linghu Jiu, then Ning Zhuo, Zhu Xuanji, and Sun Lingtong. Everyone, follow me."

Lin Bufan's face turned a bit darker.

Zhang Huaixu's meaning was very simple: you all benefited from Linghu Jiu and Ning Zhuo to get in.

Zhu Xuanji's expression remained unchanged.

Ning Jiufan and Ning Zhuo's hearts tightened, knowing that their secrets had long been exposed in the eyes of Jingyu Immortal Concubine.

Lin Shanshan looked around and asked: "Who is Sun Lingtong?"

Ning Zhuo smiled awkwardly: "Miss Lin, I will explain to you later."

Lin Shanshan immediately snorted and transmitted: "You stinky Big Head, how many more things are you hiding from me?"

Zhang Huaixu led the way directly.

Ning Zhuo felt grateful to Zhang Huaixu and said to Lin Shanshan: "Miss Lin, the Linlang Reflection Wall is more important right now."

Lin Shanshan's attention was immediately attracted.

"Little guy, see you later." The Five Elements God Lord waved at Ning Zhuo and disappeared on the spot.

The Lonely Sword Monarch also nodded slightly and disappeared.

Everyone followed the Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu forward.

Moving from one array space to another, one after another...

More than a dozen arrays within arrays made everyone experience a journey of curiosity, shock, and numbness.

Sun Lingtong touched his forehead and shouted: "Heavens, look at this level of protection! It's simply outrageous, even the capital of a country doesn't have this level."

"These arrays are connected and nested; what place in the world has a deeper defense than this?" "I admire Lin Bufan's perseverance in wanting to plot against the Reflection Wall!"

Ning Zhuo couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Bufan.

This Nascent Soul-level Ten Thousand Medicines Gate Sect Master's face was now pale.

He had never gone deep before, and this was his first time truly seeing that the original Linlang Reflection Wall had more than twenty layers of defensive arrays, and each array was analogous to the Jade Leak Drip Array, etc.

Lin Bufan had spent over a hundred years to let the original Mountain Mountain God erode the outermost two defensive arrays.

At this moment, he was horrified to find that his hundred years of effort was not even one-tenth of the whole!

The Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu said leisurely: "These arrays were all created by the Dharma bodies under the reflection."

"For example, Chen Xuanyi, Wang Jiu, Zhao Yuanji, Zhou Qingcheng, Li Tianye, etc."

Lin Bufan's face turned even paler.

All these people mentioned by Zhang Huaixu were famous array masters in history.

Lin Bufan wanting to erode these arrays was equivalent to one person fighting against the combined efforts of all the sages in history.

What hope was there?

For a moment, Lin Bufan felt a bit discouraged.

This was an underground karst cave, and no one knew how deep it was.

Originally dark and lonely, damp and cold all year round, because it had long housed the Linlang Reflection Wall, it had been gradually transformed.

The hanging stalactites had all turned into jade, crystal clear, with flowing light.

The cave walls also looked like carved jade, smooth as a mirror, revealing a soft golden and silver glow.

The stone pillars in the cave stood like a forest, all with a jade color, as if it were a jade palace, magnificent and spectacular.

At the bottom of the cave was a clear spring, the water shimmering, and the light halo of the Reflection Wall projected onto it, making it ripple, with gold and silver interweaving, like a Dragon Palace treasure pool, brilliant and magnificent.

In the clear spring was a school of fish, completely transparent, and as they swam, light and shadow intertwined, presenting a variety of colors.

"Wait, is this a Ten Thousand Year Water Essence?" Zhu Xuanji's eyes flashed with gold, and he whispered in shock.

Everyone was immediately attracted by the school of fish, their eyes burning.

Disturbed by the burning gazes of the crowd, the school of fish quickly sank to the bottom, turned into clear water, and dissipated.

But the fleeting glimpse also made Ning Zhuo feel shocked: "There are at least two or three hundred fish in this school. Two or three hundred Ten Thousand Year Water Essences?!"

"No, the slightly larger ones, are they just ten thousand years?"

The air in the cave was not turbid at all, fresh and agile, refreshing.

The spiritual energy was rich but only misty, not blocking the line of sight.

In such an environment, the true body of the Linlang Reflection Wall was displayed before everyone's eyes.

It was about three zhang high and two zhang wide, shaped like a huge mirror, but the surface was slightly curved.

It was semi-transparent, and the main body was a huge piece of glazed gold crystal. The light halo shining on its surface was very wonderful, sometimes like the first bloom of dawn, warm and soft; sometimes like the sunset glow, brilliant and magnificent. Between the changes of light and shadow, the scenery in the karst cave also changed accordingly.

Sometimes it looked like flowers blooming in spring, sometimes like a brilliant starry river on an autumn night...

This scene was like a fairyland, a piece of jade and gold and silver, brilliant and magnificent.

Everyone was in it, sighing like mortals.

"Is this the Linlang Reflection Wall?" The spiritual treasure he had been thinking about for over a hundred years was right in front of him, but Lin Bufan's expression was quite complex at this moment.

"Where is my Big Brother?" Lin Shanshan asked after sighing.

"He is fighting with demon beasts in the wall." A female cultivator Dharma body walked out of the Reflection Wall.

Her appearance was like heaven-made, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her nose bridge straight, her lips like cherries.

Her skin was as white as snow, revealing a faint jade light.

She wore a light green silk long dress, with exquisite white magnolia flowers embroidered on the skirt, which complemented her temperament.

Walking out at this time, the long skirt was light and elegant, like moving clouds and flowing water.

Around her waist was a jade belt, inlaid with white pearls, each plump and crystal clear.

In her hair, there were several exquisite jade hairpins, each carved vividly. Hanging from her earlobes were two small and exquisite white jade earrings; as she walked, the earrings swayed gently. And on her wrists, she wore a pair of crystal-clear jade bracelets, which made a crisp, tinkling sound when they touched gently.

Her temperament was beautiful and soft, and every move exuded a kind of tranquility and gentleness, like a piece of warm jade.

Her voice was as soft as flowing water, and her words always carried a bit of care and consideration, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

It was Jingyu Immortal Concubine!

The Immortal Concubine appeared, immediately making everyone's eyes full of brilliance, unable to help but hold their breath, only feeling that the underground karst cave had been promoted to a magnificent Dragon Palace in an instant.

Such a person really made people sigh from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone bowed down, and when they got up, the world had changed, and they had been taken into the Linlang Reflection Wall.

"Everyone, look down." Jingyu Immortal Concubine faced the crowd and pointed to the ground.

The ground under everyone's feet was like clouds and sea, quickly scattering, revealing a huge demon nest intertwined with scarlet and deep black.

The demon nest was like the gate of hell, and the surging demon energy was like a tsunami, constantly impacting the surroundings, making people's hair stand on end.

The outer body of the nest was composed of countless black vines, twisting and clinging, like snakes dancing, wriggling endlessly, making a faint rustling sound, as if telling endless resentment. Thorns grew on the snake vines, sharp as blades, dripping dark red poison, and the fishy smell permeated.

Huge skeletons were scattered inside and outside the nest. They had different shapes, some human, some beast, broken and incomplete, with clear gnawing marks, ferocious and terrifying, making people's hearts cold.

There were also huge dark green demon stones, their light flickering, gloomy and strange. Between the interweaving of light and shadow, the scene in the nest was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, as if countless wronged souls were wailing and crying in the gloomy light. Under the illumination of the demon stones, everyone could barely see winding passages. These passages circled and swirled, like the blood vessels of the abyss, connecting the entire nest into one, naturally formed.

In the important nodes of the nest, ancient demon altars were distributed. The altars were covered with ancient runes, the runes were mysterious, revealing an extremely evil and rich demon energy. Various utensils were displayed on the altar, some broken and incomplete, some stained with dried blood, clearly used for evil sacrifices.

And in the deepest part of the nest, there were pieces of dark abyss, dark as ink, unfathomable. Countless low roars and shrill hissing sounds came out continuously.

Just by looking from afar, everyone felt a chill rushing from the soles of their feet to their spirits. The demon energy was so surging, suffocating, as if they were in an endless nightmare, without a glimmer of hope of escape.

Jingyu Immortal Concubine said softly: "This is a peerless demon nest."

"The Dao of demons originates from outside the sky."

"This peerless demon nest fell from the sky, it is the source of demons in the world, immortal and indestructible, only to be suppressed and sealed."

"In the past, the Martial Emperor led a large army to besiege Kunlun Mountain, must suppress the peerless demon nest, in order to solve the demon disaster from the root."

"However, the demon nest is immortal and indestructible, operating at all times, deriving countless demon beasts, ordinary means, it is difficult to suppress for a long time."

"The Martial Emperor, the military advisor, and other great cultivators thought hard, and finally worked together to create the Linlang Reflection Wall, and I, the Five Elements God Lord, and others went to Kunlun Mountain to fight secretly, and finally sealed the peerless demon nest, winning the decisive battle."

Jingyu Immortal Concubine revealed the secrets of the ancient times.

She continued: "The Linlang Reflection Wall is a spiritual treasure, which can reflect many sages, keep images, and create Dharma bodies. Dharma bodies can only move in the wall and possess all the combat power of the cultivator's true self."

"For countless years, the peerless demon nest has derived infinite demon beasts, and I have presided over the Linlang Reflection Wall, using the geniuses and sages that have emerged over countless years to condense Dharma bodies to resist."
