Chapter 579: Nine Flame Demon Lord (Part 2)
After leaving the courtyard, Xu Changqing looked back at the gate that was closing on his own, and recalled the conversation with the Nine Flame Demon Lord Shen Yin just now. Although he was not fully sure, Xu Changqing was able to infer the relationship between the Nine Flame Demon Lord and Zen Master Tianyin. Now the only basis for confirming his speculation was the time when the Nine Flame Demon Lord appeared in the Demon Realm. Xu Changqing believes that it is not difficult to find out about this. After all, the Nine Flame Demon Lord has achieved the most powerful achievement and has been paid attention to by many forces. There are many people who have checked his details.
In the eyes of people outside, the Nine Flame Demon Lord seemed to be content with the status quo. For all forces, even the invitation from the Qilin Holy Clan was not printed. From the conversation just now, Xu Changqing understood that the Nine Flame Demon Lord was not content with the status quo. He was waiting for an opportunity to make an opportunity for someone like him who is not a member of the Immortal Palace, who can make a comeback.
In fact, when the Nine Flame Demon Lord became the most powerful, the Immortal Palace had sent someone to invite him to join the Immortal Palace and become the Lord of the Palace. Now his real identity is actually the Lord of the Black Wind Palace of Xuanyuantian and was named the Lord of the Nine Flames. However, the identity of the Lord of the Palace is only a title. Although the offerings and other objects are almost the same as other hall masters, he has no real power, which is not as powerful as the original God Fire Great Sage and other God Masters.
There are only three ways to become the Lord of the Real Power Palace. The first is to worship under the sect of a Lord of the Real Power Palace. After he dies, he inherits the position of Lord of the Palace. The arrogant Nine Flame Demon Lord is naturally unwilling to do so. The second is to establish great achievements that are enough to become the Lord of the Real Power Palace. In the entire Immortal Palace, the only place where there is the opportunity to establish great merits is the Battle Demon Cliff, so the Nine Flame Demon Lord chose to be here. However, Xu Changqing's appearance allowed the Lord of the Nine Flame Demon Lord to see the opportunity to become the Lord of the Real Power Palace in a short period of time. This is the third method to complete a task formulated above. According to the reliable information obtained by the Lord of the Nine Flame, this task is likely to explore the underground nest of the turbid beast.
The Nine Flame Demon Lord, who has lived in the War Demon Cliff for many years, naturally knows the power of the turbid beasts. He has entered the underground nest of the turbid beasts and is also very clear about the dangers there. Not to mention the turbid beast communities that are spread all over the ground, even the underground maze that is like a congenital maze is enough to trap people in it. Even though he has now achieved the most powerful realm, he is still not sure that he can come out alive after entering the underground nest of the turbid beasts again, because he has seen more than one turbid beast whose cultivation level is also at the highest level.
Before inviting Xu Changqing, the Nine Flame Demon Lord had made a lot of preparations in advance, such as taking out most of the offerings he received from the immortal demons and Buddhas in the Battle Demon City, sneaking into several turbid beast nests, and exploring and drawing authentic drawings on the surface. In addition, he also invited two other immortals who also borrowed the power of elixirs to be promoted to the most powerful realm, hoping to become the powerful palace master. These two are now guests of the Hundred Tribes of the Heavenly Army. If Xu Changqing is added, with the strength of the four turbid immortals, they will be able to protect themselves in the underground nest of the turbid beast, and their chances of victory will be much greater.
The alliance mentioned by the Nine Flame Demon Lord is not just a difficult task that may arise for the four people to become the Lord of the Real Power, but because they have maintained the alliance and taken care of each other in Xuanyuantian. Although the four Lords of the Real Power are not considered powerful forces in Xuanyuantian, the four Lords of the Real Power who have reached the most powerful real power are not underestimated. It should not be difficult to establish a foothold in the Immortal Palace with this power.
Xu Changqing did not agree to the proposal of the Nine Flame Demon Lord immediately. He did not have any concerns, but wanted to decide whether to form an alliance after knowing the actual conditions for inheriting the position of Lord of the Demon God Temple. As for the nest of the turbid beast, Xu Changqing was not worried. After all, the aura of the turbid beasts that could be called poison to the people in the Three Realms of Kunlun not only could not bring him any harm, but could also replenish the killing aura he consumed.
After returning to his courtyard, She Chen had woken up from the state of subcultivation. Although he still failed to break through to the realm of Hedao Earth Immortal, his magic power had been completely transformed into the realm of Transformation of Dragon Immortality, and his strength had been improved by several levels. It was no worse than that of Hedao Earth Immortality. It was only a matter of time before he could achieve the realm of Hedao Earth Immortality. Although the formation set up by Xu Changqing around him, it was just a formation assisted in the practice. After he woke up, it dissipated by itself and could leave at any time. But he stayed in place, quietly waiting for Xu Changqing to come back to see if Xu Changqing had any other instructions. Xu Changqing also admired this.
"Can you find out when the Nine Flame Demon Lord appeared in the Southern Demon Realm, and when did he come to the Immortal Palace?" Xu Changqing returned to the study and took out a book of the official history of the Immortal Palace. He asked while looking through it.
She Chen, whose excited expression on his face still had not faded, quickly stepped forward and responded: "No need to inquire about this, my subordinates know very clearly."
Xu Changqing looked at She Chen calmly and said, "It seems that you have tried to defect to the Nine Flame Demon Lord before, but unfortunately he refused."
"I know the crime, so please punish me." Hearing Xu Changqing's words, the excitement on She Chen's face disappeared immediately, and replaced by a look of panic. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and apologized for guilt.
"No need to do this! The Nine Flame Demon Lord did not accept you under his command, because he had eyes but no beads." Xu Changqing cast a spell to lift him up, his tone was slightly solemn, and he said, "As long as you do your whole heart in the future and do not betray me, I will not be stingy with the spiritual medicine and Taoism."
She Chen also said with a solemn look: "I will be loyal to the Lord to the death."
With She Chen's words, a little spiritual light transformed from the alliance of heaven and earth flew out from his forehead. As long as Xu Changqing collects this spiritual light, if She Chen develops a little rebellious heart in the future, he will be backfired by the power of heaven and earth. It can be said that life and death are in Xu Changqing's hands. However, Xu Changqing did not take away the spiritual light, but instead casts a spell to point it back into She Chen's body and said, "No need to remember your vow today. If you violate the vow and betray me, even if you do not have the spiritual light of this vow, I will kill you just a little bit." After saying that, his eyes returned to the book in his hand and said, "Now you can tell me the origin of the Nine Flame Demon Lord!"
Xu Changqing's actions touched She Chen. After all, even though he was willing just now, it was still difficult for him to accept his life in the hands of others. After hearing the order, he stood beside Xu Changqing very respectfully and told everything he knew about the Nine Flame Demon Lord, which was mixed with various forces and speculations about his origin.
The time when the Nine Flame Demon Lord appeared was indeed not beyond Xu Changqing's expectations. He suddenly appeared in the Demon Realm more than two hundred years ago. At that time, because his cultivation level was very fast and his luck was very good, he obtained the innate spiritual fire from the Concentrated Demon Realm, so many people thought that it was probably the incarnation of the Supreme Heavenly Demon. However, as his cultivation level reached the realm of the Demon Lord, he began to stagnate. In nearly two hundred years, he did not improve at all. Decades ago, he stole the Nanming Lihuo from the Lihuo Demon Lord and fled to the Battle Demon Cliff. Since then, he has been living in the Battle Demon City.
Although the Nine Flame Demon Lord has always been alone and seems to be withdrawn, according to the information, because he is righteous and peaceful, there are many life and death friends in the Battle Demon City who have directly or indirectly received his favor. These life and death friends can be said to be spread throughout the entire Battle Demon City, and if the Nine Flame Demon Lord had not been promoted to the most powerful realm, it attracted the attention of many people, and his influence in the Battle Demon City would still not have been discovered. Xu Changqing felt that this might also be one of the reasons why the Nine Flame Demon Lord could not become the Lord of the Palace of Real Power, and there was some similarity with his current situation.
After She Chen told everything he knew about the Nine Flame Demon Lord, Xu Changqing ordered him to retreat and continue to collect information from various forces in the Immortal Palace. He himself was like being isolated from the world to thank guests, leisurely taking them in the study to watch these books piled up in the mountains. While reading the book, he was thinking about the Nine Flame Demon Lord. Now Xu Changqing can be sure that Nine Flame Demon Lord is Zen Master Tianyin, but he is not the same person. His situation is more like the Great Demon Lord. The Great Demon Lord is the devil thoughts and killing thoughts of Zhenwu Emperor, while the Tianyin Zen Master Tianyin condenses the Nine Flame Demon Lord.
This method is somewhat similar to the Taoist corpse-beheading and the Buddhist wisdom sword. Xu Changqing didn't know much about this method, but he still knew that many methods in the Kunlun realms could achieve such effects. It can be imagined that although Zen Master Tianyin was profound in Buddhism and could evolve the Buddha's fruit before he achieved the Tao, he was the son of the demonic path after all, and he could be said to be an innate demon. If his demonic thoughts were not cut off, Zen Master Tianyin, who was in the Buddha's realm, would definitely suffer a lot.
The devil thought that was cut off naturally entered the demon world and turned into a demon. However, because there is a Buddha in the demon, the behavior, even temperament, etc. of this demon seems to be very different from those in other demon worlds. This demon and Zen Master Tianyin, who cut off the demon mind, are like the good and evil sides of the body. Although they are mutually apart, they will be even more incompatible. Therefore, when Xu Changqing mentioned the Bodhisattva Cixin who looks similar to him in front of the Nine Flame Demon Lord, even if he no longer has any memories of the past, he will still instinctively show disgust. In this regard, the methods that Xu Changqing knew also mentioned this disadvantage. If Emperor Zhenwu had not died now, the person who Demon Lord regarded as a dead enemy would definitely be him, rather than Xu Changqing, who inherited the Devil's sword power.
Although Xu Changqing may have some trouble if he forms an alliance with the Nine Flame Demon Lord, and even is suppressed by other forces in the Immortal Palace, these troubles are obviously nothing compared to the existence of the Nine Flame Demon Lord. After confirming some things, Xu Changqing has decided to form an alliance with the Nine Flame Demon Lord no matter what, and at first decided to use the Nine Flame Demon Lord as a weapon to deal with Zen Master Tianyin. What he has to do now is to make this weapon sharper. While he is flipping through the books, plans begin to form in his mind, deduce success or failure, and then form and combine them together.
