After a detailed discussion, Zhang Ling understood the purpose of Real Person Shi Yun. It turned out that Real Person Shi Yun had discovered an ancient cultivator's remains, but there was a strange restriction that was difficult to break. After studying it, he had a way to crack it.
Therefore, he wanted to unite some cultivators to break the restriction and explore the treasures.
The reason he paid attention to Zhang Ling was not because he wanted to collect wind and fire dual-attribute demon cores, but because he saw that Zhang Ling was practicing earth-attribute techniques and his strength was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which正好符合破阵条件.
Zhang Ling was currently disguised as a different Demon Clan cultivator. Although his main cultivation was earth-attribute spiritual power, it was not easy to change. However, he had refined True Demon Qi, so he could easily release a little bit of demonic energy, which was a good disguise.
Even if he fought with cultivators of the same rank, as long as he mixed demonic energy into his attacks, he could deceive most of the different Demon Clan cultivators.
Of course, there were still some shortcomings. Some specific techniques and divine powers could not be mixed with demonic energy.
As for the wind and fire attribute ancient beast that this person mentioned, it lived near the ancient cultivator's remains. And to successfully approach that ruin, the ancient beast must be eliminated.
During the conversation, he also learned that the ancient beast was actually a Flame Hoof Beast. This was a kind of heaven and earth strange beast, rumored to have the bloodline of a fire unicorn.
After more than half an hour, Zhang Ling left Yunshan Fang City and flew north for thousands of miles. He opened up a small cave in the mountains and forests to rest temporarily.
As for whether or not to participate in Real Person Shi Yun's actions, he had not considered it clearly. Of course, this person did not tell him the specific details of the ancient cultivator's remains.
He only said that if he was willing to participate, he should meet in Hanfeng City in the north in half a year.
Speaking of Hanfeng City, he had just traveled there two months ago. He participated in a medium-sized trade fair there. This immortal city is also one of the seven immortal cities along the Black Cloud Desert. Located in the far north.
Moreover, compared to the Twelve Immortal Cities, Nightglow City would be more northerly. The environment is also more severe.
This person chose to meet in Hanfeng City, could it be that the ancient cultivator's remains are also in the ice field? Zhang Ling thought to himself.
In the past year or so, he had basically traveled all over the eastern region of the different Demon Clan. He originally planned to return to the sect recently.
Unexpectedly, he received this news today. After thinking for a while, Zhang Ling decided to participate in this person's actions.
After all, he came to the alien Demon Clan this time for the wind and fire demon core. He did not succeed in the previous Flame Demon Valley. This time, there was news again.
Dual-attribute demon cores are rare and hard to come by. If he missed it, he didn't know when he would have to wait. To achieve his goal, he still had to go there.
After making his decision, Zhang Ling prepared for it. After all, he had to deal with several alien Demon Clan cultivators of the same rank again.
He spent a few days refining some cold-resistant pills. He also spent some time sorting out some of the gains from the past year or so.
During this period, the damage to the Nascent Soul puppet had already been repaired by him.
It is worth mentioning that he recently refined the black and red long stick he obtained from the Fire Demon Beast.
After checking some relevant information from the different Demon Clan, Zhang Ling learned that the long stick was indeed a demonic weapon. And it also had some reputation, it seemed to be the Demon Pattern Stick that was lost by the Purple Demon Tribe of the different Demon Clan.
There are only a few seven or eight magic weapons handed down from ancient times like this in the different Demon Clan. The most powerful is naturally the Scarlet Cry Drum, which has reached the level of a spiritual treasure.
There are also several pieces that are broken and cannot exert much power, and are only enshrined in a few large tribes.
The Demon Pattern Stick was originally enshrined in the Purple Demon Tribe, and it was one of the only few intact magic weapons. It is extremely hard in itself, and if it is urged with demonic energy, it can also exert powerful attack power, reaching the pseudo-spiritual treasure level.
But it was suddenly lost decades ago, and it caused some commotion in the different Demon Clan. It is said that it was stolen by the ancient demon who ran out of the Demon Spring and harmed one side.
Speaking of that ancient demon, a major event has recently occurred in the different Demon Clan.
He recently heard a piece of gossip, saying that one of the four existing great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage of the different Demon Clan had fallen.
Great Priest Luo Ming, Old Ancestor Flame Demon, Demon Fiend Woman, and a Black Demon Priest. They are the four great cultivators of the different Demon Clan.
The great cultivator who fell was this Black Demon Priest. It is said that he did not die from exhausting his lifespan and sitting down.
But he was seriously injured when the Demon Soul Palace mobilized many Nascent Soul old monsters to annihilate the ancient demon, and then he fell.
Zhang Ling learned about this news not long ago in a ghost market, accidentally from the conversation of several Nascent Soul cultivators.
Speaking of this Black Demon Priest, he did not appear when the different Demon Clan attacked the human race more than ten years ago. This also corroborates the news from the side.
The fall of a great cultivator is naturally not a good thing for the different Demon Clan. This news has only spread secretly in the recent period, and Zhang Ling also finds it difficult to judge whether it is true.
However, when he thought of the truce between the two races before, Great Priest Luo Ming proposed not to invade each other for a thousand years. The Black Demon Priest probably really fell.
After learning about this kind of information, Zhang Ling just sighed slightly. The great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage is definitely the most top-notch existence in the human world.
But no matter how profound the cultivation is, it is not invincible. They will also be killed and fall, and they will also die from exhausting their lifespan.
Only by taking the cultivation further, breaking through to the Transformation God stage, and ascending to the upper realm, can they continue the immortal path and compete for the great path to get rid of the limitations of lifespan.
The sun and moon alternated, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.
In Hanfeng City, it was snowing heavily today. Even with the protection of the Immortal City Array, the city was still icy cold. There were many fewer cultivators on the streets.
In the northern market of the city, in a three-story pavilion called Yubing Pavilion, several Nascent Soul cultivators gathered.
At this moment, a middle-aged cultivator in black walked in. He casually looked at the environment in the pavilion. There were some low-level cultivators in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.
Behind the counter on the left, an old man who looked like a shopkeeper was lying lazily on a soft couch. When he saw someone coming in, he squinted his eyes and glanced at him. Suddenly, he stood up and carefully asked, "But Senior Ding."
The middle-aged man nodded silently. The middle-aged man was exactly the face that Zhang Ling had disguised himself as when he saw Real Person Shi Yun before. As for calling him Senior Ding, it was naturally a name he said casually at the time.
The old man shopkeeper in front of him looked like a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, but Zhang Ling saw at a glance that this person's true cultivation was not weak, and he had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core stage.
Seeing him nod, the old man immediately greeted him with a smile, "Senior Ding, please come in quickly, the ancestor is inside."
This person recognized his current face, obviously he had been told by Real Person Shi Yun.
Zhang Ling motioned for this person to lead the way. The old man led the way and took him directly to a hall in the backyard.
Before entering it, a burst of laughter came from inside. "Haha, I finally waited for Fellow Daoist Ding." Real Person Shi Yun, who was as gentle as a spring breeze, walked out from inside and welcomed Zhang Ling in.
There were four other cultivators inside, a black-faced man, a white-robed old woman, a middle-aged cultivator, and a bald old man.
Seeing Zhang Ling coming in, the four of them also looked over.
Among them, the middle-aged cultivator, he had seen before, was the Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator who followed Real Person Shi Yun, Fellow Daoist Chen.
The black-faced man and the bald old man were also early-stage cultivators, and the white-robed old woman was also a Nascent Soul mid-stage existence. Looking at the aura, the cultivation had reached the peak of the mid-stage.
This surprised Zhang Ling.
Wang Mou will introduce to you fellow Taoists, this is Fellow Taoist Ding I mentioned earlier, Fellow Taoist Ding came here as agreed, that means you will join our action." Real Person Shi Yun simply introduced to everyone.
The white-robed old woman turned her old face and glanced at Zhang Ling with a smile, "Fellow Taoist Ding, which tribe are you a priest of? The old woman sees that fellow Taoist is very unfamiliar."
The old woman's voice was a little hoarse, it was a little unpleasant to hear, Zhang Ling also saw that there were some purple magic patterns on this person's face.
Having magic patterns on their bodies is a characteristic of most alien demons, but generally high-level demons will hide some of the demonized characteristics on their bodies.
Zhang Ling said expressionlessly, "Ding is just an unknown casual cultivator, fellow Taoists don't need to care."
The old woman was playing with a white jade card in her hand. Hearing the word casual cultivator, the movements in her hand stopped. She looked at Zhang Ling a few more times.
Fellow Daoist Miao, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ding is a ascetic cultivator even though he is a casual cultivator. A body of thick earth spiritual power is just right to help us break the formation."
The white-robed old woman's surname is Miao. She is also a Nascent Soul priest of a medium tribe.
Soon another cultivator wrapped in a gray robe and whose face could not be seen came. After this person sat down, he didn't say a word, and seemed cold and mysterious. This person was also a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.
Real Person Shi Yun seemed to be very familiar with this person, and called the gray-robed man, Fellow Daoist Wan.
It seemed that the number of people was complete. Real Person Shi Yun, as the person in charge, immediately said in a deep voice.
Fellow Taoists came here as agreed, no matter which tribe the cultivators are from, or the cultivators who are alone, Wang Mou will say the words first. In this action, fellow Taoists must ask Wang Mou to arrange it, so that you can safely enter the ancient cultivator ruins. If you want to act without authorization, you can withdraw now, the old man will stop you.
When the few people heard this, they were all refreshed, and naturally no one suddenly withdrew.
Okay, it seems that you fellow Taoists are wise, haha, Wang Mou won't sell anything, I will tell you in detail about the place we are going to. It's just that you don't need the old man to say it, I think as fellow Taoists, you can guess where we are going.
Hehe, Fellow Daoist Shi Yun invited us to Hanfeng City, I think the destination is in the ice field area." The bald old man smiled hehe. Just now it was introduced that this person is known as the Flying Yellow Old Monster.
We are indeed going to the ice field, but Fellow Daoist Flying Yellow said one thing wrong. The destination is not in the ice field, but in the ice sea further north of the ice field." Real Person Shi Yun nodded and smiled.
What, the ice sea."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the few people present changed slightly. Zhang Ling also frowned slightly.
He had been to the ice field, but the more common ice sea was not a good place. There are very few demon cultivators who have reached the level of transformation in the Northern Origin Cultivation World.
But it is clear that there is a group of transformed demon cultivators in the ice sea. Both the human race and the alien demon race have had the idea of hunting transformed demon cultivators in the ice sea.
Even a lot of Nascent Soul old monsters have been entangled, wanting to occupy the ice sea. But they have all suffered a lot.
It is said that there is a master of the ice sea in the ice sea, who is an unknown monster, but if anyone dares to hunt and kill transformed demon cultivators in the ice sea, it will provoke anger.
On the alien demon clan side, Zhang Ling seems to have heard that the previous Demon Soul Palace High Priest entered the ice sea thousands of years ago, seeming to want to find some spiritual objects, but he never returned.
It is rumored that he was killed by Binhai.
On the human race side, a group of seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators entered the ice sea three hundred years ago, and they never returned.
Fellow Daoist Shi Yun, are you going to the ice sea?" The white-robed old woman also raised her eyebrows slightly and asked again.
Real Person Shi Yun still had a smile on his face, and explained unhurriedly, "Although we are indeed going to the ice sea, we will not go deep, in the 10,000-mile area where the ice field and the ice sea meet."
Even so, if we run into a transformed demon cultivator in the ice sea, it is still quite dangerous." The black-faced man also showed a bitter face, seeming very afraid.
Hearing this, his face also darkened a bit. "Fellow Daoist Xiang, do you want to back down? Although there are some risks, but we cultivators, how can we have great gains if we don't take some risks. The old man can reveal a little bit first, that ancient cultivator ruins are related to a legendary ancient cultivator. It is definitely worth the risk."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the few people were different.
Seeing the expressions of the people, Real Person Shi Yun uttered a few words. "Dragon Phoenix Fairy"
