Chapter 389

Refining gods and demons is quite time-consuming, long for dozens or hundreds of years, short for a year or a half, unless Qian Chen is willing to let his demonic thoughts dominate the refining, and can achieve it overnight by relying on that supreme demonic nature. Therefore, Qian Chen only spent three days resolving the demonic restrictions planted in the black-robed demon cultivator's body, prying out the things in his brain, and then sealed him in the blood cellar, letting him transform by himself.

During this period, if anyone came to investigate and opened the blood cellar without authorization, the means Qian Chen left in it would also be enough to make them suffer a big loss.

"Sima Yue!" Qian Chen flipped through the black-robed demon cultivator's memory, opened his eyes, and said meaningfully: "Really lingering!"

"This demon cub is only at the Core Formation cultivation base, and he hasn't even refined his natal god and demon. He is not a very successful character in the demonic path!" Qian Chen started to dislike him after using him, with a typical scumbag face, and thought in his heart: "In the matter of the demonic path colluding with the Sima family, this person is just a runner, and he doesn't know much. However, the words of Tao Zhang Tian Shi three years ago, plus the clues in this person's memory, can piece together many things!"

"Tao Zhang Tian Shi once said that the key to the chaos in Jiankang this time lies in the Sima family's big backer, the number one Yin Spirit of the Central Lands, Sima Yi, who has gone missing! Sima Shi alone cannot resist the Wang Dao and Xie An of the aristocratic families, so he wants to borrow demonic path evil methods to help another member of the Sima family, Sima Yan, who failed to impact the Yin Spirit and is stuck before the life-and-death mysterious pass, to achieve the Yin Spirit."

"So six years ago, the Sima family cooperated with those behind the Tongshen old Daoist in the Samsara Realm, providing some convenience for the destruction of the Louguan Dao. It should be to borrow the Dao Dust Pearl to help Sima Yan pass the most difficult pass. After Master Miaokong was killed, the Tongshen old Daoist realized that he could not seize the Dao Dust Pearl from Master Miaokong, so he revealed the news of my existence to the Sima family, wanting to use them to find me. They even arranged for a team of samsara players to sneak into the Central Lands for this."

"Three years ago, Sima Shi finally locked onto me, but because I discovered the problem with that team of samsara players early, I laid out a layout and escaped calmly."

"Sima Shi even tried to lay out a layout with the Heavenly Heart Ring at the last moment, but Tao Zhang Tian Shi helped me again, making him lose his wife and break his army..."

Qian Chen played with the Heavenly Heart Yang Ring that the Sima family contributed to him, with five-colored divine light in his hand, firmly sealing the iron ring in his five fingers, playing with it casually like a toy.

After obtaining the five-colored divine light, he could have sold the Heavenly Heart Yang Ring to the Lord of Samsara to completely remove this hidden danger, but since he could already control this ring, only a fool would sell the spiritual treasure to the stingy Lord of Samsara. Not only did he not want to sell it, but he was even secretly planning to find an opportunity to seize the Heavenly Heart Yin Ring as well.

"In that black-robed man's memory, besides being responsible for searching for girls of the six yins with suitable qualifications everywhere and refining the Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Ghost, he also chose suitable sacrifices in various places in Southern Jin to refine tangible yin demons and formless secret demons, totaling one hundred and eight tangible formless heavenly demons and Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Ghosts... In the demonic path, there are no fewer than dozens of people running around for this matter like him. Although most of their cultivation is far inferior to his, there are also eight Core Formation demon cultivators like him."

Qian Chen thought of this, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"This matter seems to have been planned for thirty years, but it has only accelerated its pace in the last three years, to the point of having to refine the Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Ghost in a human-populated place like Jiankang. It seems that no matter what the Sima family is planning, it has reached an imminent level."

"For thirty years, with the secret help of the Sima family, the demonic path has refined hundreds of gods and demons. The Sima family's plan is probably still to help Sima Yan achieve the Yin Spirit. But Sima Yan failed to break through the Yin Spirit and has already corpse-decomposed, his Yang Spirit has degenerated into a Yin Spirit. Wanting to break through the Yin Spirit again and borrowing the power of the demonic path to refine a god and demon of the Yin Spirit level as a physical body is indeed the most convenient means. But without the Dao Dust Pearl, how does he solve the backlash of the god and demon and completely enter the demonic path? How to fuse the god and demon body?"

Qian Chen calculated to this point, and only the last mystery remained unsolved.

He took out three Kaiyuan Tongbao from his Qiankun bag. These three Kaiyuan Tongbao were mother coins that Qian Chen specially took from the Mint when he looted the Left Treasury. They were sand-casting mold coins when Kaiyuan coins were cast, carrying a trace of the Great Tang's national fortune. Because the Great Tang exists in the future, they have special wonders when used for divination.

But because of this, the divination results are too illusory and can only be considered as intercepting a butterfly from the river of time, rather than a clear calculation of the context.

Qian Chen threw out the three Kaiyuan Tongbao and began to dismantle the hexagram.

"Heaven above, Thunder below, Innocence!" Qian Chen's expression was solemn.

Disaster of innocence! The hexagram text for the first nine and six two is: Innocence, going is auspicious. Do not plow and harvest, do not disaster the fallow, then it is beneficial to go—only by not acting recklessly can one turn bad luck into good luck.

Nine four: Can be chaste, no blame. Meaning to stick to the righteous path and have no disaster.

This hexagram asks about the matters carried out by the Sima family. Disaster of innocence, the hexagram image is extremely fierce, and the hexagram text corresponds to not acting recklessly to turn bad luck into good luck, which should correspond to the matters carried out by the Sima family, recklessly seeking the Yin Spirit, acting against heaven, fierce and fierce!

And nine four should correspond to Qian Chen himself, referring to sticking to the righteous path and having no disaster. As for the original meaning of the disaster of innocence, it should be verified in—

"Jiankang!"

Qian Chen calculated that this image corresponds to the direction: "Six three, disaster of innocence, or tie it to an ox, the gain of a passerby, the disaster of a townsman. It means someone acts recklessly, causing his neighbors to suffer! It just happens to correspond to Jiankang City..."

Putting down the three Kaiyuan Tongbao, Qian Chen pondered for a moment, intercepted this line of spiritual opportunity, and began to pinch and calculate.

This time he released the Taiji diagram, running the yin and yang qi to calculate the "Innocence" heavenly secret, closing his eyes to contemplate the Taiji.

Entering meditation and observing quietly, he only saw the Taiji diagram floating in a piece of chaos.

As the black and white qi circulated, the yin and yang fish suddenly opened, erupting with red blood light from the diagram, gushing out a sea of blood. And just when the sea of blood drowned everything, a twelve-petaled karmic fire red lotus suddenly floated up from the sea of blood, bloomed, and in an instant, red lotuses bloomed all over the sea of blood, igniting the karmic fire all over the ground...

At this time, Qian Chen could no longer maintain the meditation state and withdrew from the meditation.

"Why is this tribulation related to the karmic fire red lotus? It seems like the beginning of the demonic tribulation, and it also seems like an opportunity for the achievement of the karmic fire red lotus? The karmic fire red lotus is a spiritual treasure manifested by the operation of the Chang'an tribulation, and it is the luck of the demonic tribulation in the future. It was calculated on it... Jiankang is one of the five ancient capitals where the Nine Heavens rift appears when the demonic tribulation starts in the future... Could it be related to the Five-Direction Demon Sect tribulation in the future? Chang'an—Jiankang, what is the connection between them?"

Many thoughts appeared in Qian Chen's sea of consciousness, but the context of the calculation was not clear, and he could only calculate that this tribulation was also an opportunity for the karmic fire red lotus to be complete again. Other interpretations might not necessarily be correct, and if he found the wrong direction, he might go south and north.

"It seems that before going to sea, I have to re-enter Jiankang to figure out the unclear parts of the Sima family's plan. The demonic path's methods of refining gods and demons are so secret, and Wang Longxiang finding this place should not be an accident. That is to say, the aristocratic families are also vigilant about the Sima family's plan. The Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Ghost was destroyed by me, the black-robed man went missing, and the demonic path and the Sima family will definitely react...

"Perhaps, it is time to re-enter Jiankang with the identity of Li Bai!"

Thinking of this, Qian Chen planned to leave a note for Wang Longxiang to explain, and then return to Jiankang to find Junior Sister Si to communicate about the recent trends in Jiankang. But at this moment, Qian Chen's spiritual sense sensed a shocking sword intent approaching rapidly. He stopped his steps, jumped up, and stopped on the ridge of the Xin family manor's main hall.

The sword light turned sharply here and landed on the eaves, revealing Wang Longxiang's figure.

He was still in a moon-white Daoist robe, with green jade at his waist, looking tall and divine, his sword intent was awe-inspiring, carrying a trace of unscattered murderous intent.

Qian Chen observed his sword intent and felt something, sighing: "Such a disaster of innocence, how many were killed?"

Wang Longxiang was silent, saying: "Forty thousand!"

Qian Chen shook his head slightly: "Did it hurt the crops?"

Wang Longxiang's sword qi was even more prosperous: "Seven hundred miles!"

Qian Chen showed murderous intent, awe-inspiring: "Where is the evil dragon now?"

"This is the son of the Ruxu River God..." Wang Longxiang lowered his eyes, then raised them again, his eyes divine and awe-inspiring: "It was beheaded by the sword yesterday!"

"Good!" Qian Chen said briefly.

He waved his hand to split the Xin ancestral hall hundreds of feet away, the ground cracked, revealing a blood cellar.

Qian Chen held his sword and said: "The day before yesterday, a demonic path evil person came here to block me from sending the souls of Zhou Liushi and her daughter to liberation. He has been beaten into the blood pool to interrogate his soul. All karma was caused by someone wanting to refine the demonic path's taboo god and demon—the Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Ghost. Not only that, in various places in the Central Lands, there are dozens of people like him, searching for those with special qualifications, birth dates, and fates to refine into gods and demons. This person also has accomplices in the Jin court to cover for him. That accomplice has immense power and wings that are unimaginably vast. Power over the court, almost no one can control!"

"Who is this person?"

Qian Chen's expression remained unchanged: "The Crown Prince of Jin, a member of the Sima clan, one of the Eight Dragons—Donghai King Sima Yue!"

Wang Longxiang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this result, then his sword brows stood up, and a trace of murderous intent leaked from his body. But this momentum only came out of the sheath halfway before it froze slightly, then sighed: "According to my temperament, I should have finished him off immediately. But this person's status is unusual. If I insist on taking action against him, my uncle at home will definitely stop me... And to bring him to justice, just relying on the confession of a demonic path evil person, he can also argue."

Qian Chen pointed his finger, making the cracks on the ground close, hiding the blood cellar.

"What's difficult about this?" Qian Chen said: "The Wang family has a big business, so it's not easy to take action, but I have no relatives and no reason, and I am alone. If he is really related to this matter, I will find an opportunity to slaughter him, cross the river, and go to the north to travel."

Wang Longxiang shook his head: "He has a Yin Spirit True Person behind him, you must not be careless."

Wang Longxiang looked around and said to Qian Chen: "This place is ruined, I'm afraid there are still some tails. If you want to settle in Jiankang, you can come to my house!"

Qian Chen stretched, and suddenly lost his previous momentum, lazily saying: "I originally wanted to earn some reward money, and heard that there is a Chaotian Palace market nearby, which is the most lively place in the Central Lands, with many practitioners, so I can go and stroll around. Unfortunately, I didn't earn any money, but I killed the employer! It's really bad luck... The Wang family is a famous family, and I wouldn't be comfortable staying there. I'd better mix with the loose practitioners! Can Wang Daoist friend point me in the right direction and recognize where the door to Chaotian Palace is?"
