The fifth episode, the twelfth chapter, another year of the twelfth lunar month
In the days that followed, Meng Chuan still went to Qiandao Cave to practice swords every morning, and Liu Qiuyue also increased her practice time in the "Earth Fire Magma Pool".
In the afternoon, Meng Chuan was painting, and Liu Qiuyue was watching and learning to write.
For July, it is too difficult to draw, so it is easier to write calligraphy. Every time the two of them look up and see each other, their eyes meet, and they just smile.
Afterwards, the two will compete with each other at the top of Jingming Peak.
Sometimes it was Liu Qiyue shooting arrows and Meng Chuan resisted. Sometimes it was Meng Chuan chasing Liu Qiyue, and Liu Qiyue fled in a hurry.
They were both in and out, without any concealment.
At the Taoist Conference and when preaching at the Cave Heaven Pavilion, they were both much closer, which made many male gods and demons who wanted to pursue Liu Qiyue, as well as some female gods and demons who were a little moved by Meng Chuan, could only sigh and feel helpless.
...
Autumn goes and winter comes, from the yellow leaves to the heavy snow, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiuyue live their own little lives like this.
The nighttime medicine bath was refining evil medicine bath for more than two hours, and it was carried out every day, as if torture in hell day by day, and mentally exhausted. But after each time, there was rice porridge cooked in July, which made Meng Chuan more determined to resist the pain and torture.
"Fifteen days...thirty days...fifty days...fifty days...eighty days..." Meng Chuan was anxious to get through the eighth refinement. Every time he survived the pain and torture, he felt a sense of accomplishment. He was close, and he was close to the eighth refinement.
Finally, the 120th day.
This is the last day of the Eight Refinings. It is a coincidence that this day is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the new disciples are getting started.
Yuanchu Mountain, Chonghuang Peak, and Red Blood Cliff.
The introductory ceremony is underway.
"...These images have a total of 15,283 gods and demons..." Yuanchu Mountain Lord was talking to the new disciples.
There were gods and demons next to them, and the old disciples who had not become gods and demons watched the ceremony. Meng Chuan was one of the old disciples.
He listened to the mountain master's introduction and sighed secretly: "Last year was still 15,271 gods and demons. In just one year, twelve gods and demons in Yuanchu Mountain died again?"
If many ordinary gods and demons are included, there will be more gods and demons who die in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and I’m afraid there will be about 60. If you look at the whole world, there will be about 200 gods and demons who die in a year. And gods and demons either die in battle or return home seriously injured. In the long-term war with the demon race, there are very few gods and demons who can survive to the limit of their lifespan.
It is estimated that so many gods and demons have been lost in one year. The war in the whole world is so fierce.
The human race can still maintain prosperity now, and people in many cities can drink and have enough population. It is precisely because of the gods and demons who are constantly chasing the demon race, and a large number of ordinary people who have reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm to serve in the military. After forcing the demon race into the human race world, they either hide or rush in and slaughter them and then escape!
"I really want to achieve my cultivation as soon as possible and go down the mountain to kill those demon clans." Meng Chuan said silently.
*******
Of course at night.
The heat in the bathtub was rising, and Meng Chuan was still enduring the torture. He thought it was a practice of will in his heart.
“It’s the last day.”
"I have not stopped for one hundred and twenty days, and I have practiced to the last day." Meng Chuan had a sense of accomplishment. Although he had already made plans for himself, he himself understood how difficult it would be to last for one hundred and twenty days after more than two hours of torture every day. He really did it.
Meng Chuan has not bite a towel anymore, but his hands are still holding the stone wall tightly, his whole body is red, his blood vessels are bulging, and some skin surfaces even seep out blood points.
This pain comes from the deepest part of the body. Even today, it is difficult to endure the pain, and it depends entirely on your will.
Finally the pain finally subsided, and my whole body became light and comfortable again.
Meng Chuan knew that the golden evil that he absorbed today had been completely refined and would no longer damage his body.
"Yes." As soon as my fingers stretched out, the black and golden evil spirit condensed and appeared at the tip of my fingers, with extremely strong destructive power, which made Meng Chuan nod slightly: "Eight exercises have been completed."
Then he got up, steamed the water droplets all over his body, put on his close-fitting robe and went out.
Liu Qiyue stood in the corridor with a smile and looked at Meng Chuan: "Achuan, congratulations on finally succeeding in the eighth refinement."
"Yes." Meng Chuan couldn't hide his joy, "I finally got it done."
"It's really not easy to practice the eighth refinement." Liu Qiyue said, "It was 83 years ago that I practiced the Thunder World-Destroying Demon Body in Yuanchu Mountain to reach the eighth refinement level. The last one who achieved the Nine Refinement of the Thunder World-Destroying Demon Body, which was more than 200 years ago. Achuan, you have also completed the eighth refinement level now, and you are expected to reach the Nine Refinement level again."
"Nine Refining is not easy." Meng Chuan smiled, "Let's go and have a porridge."
"To celebrate your eighth exercises today, I have made a few more dishes." Liu Qiyue pretended to be mysterious.
The two of them arrived in the hall together, and the dishes on the table were indeed very rich.
The two sat down and ate.
Meng Chuan seemed to be having fun, but in fact he remembered a lot of things.
"What's wrong, what are you thinking?" Liu Qiyue asked.
"You just mentioned the seniors who practiced the Thunder Destroying Demon Body in Yuanchu Mountain. One was eighty-three years ago and the other was more than two hundred years ago." Meng Chuan said softly, "I have practiced this method and carefully understood history. The senior brother from 83 years ago was Gao Cong, who practiced to the level of gods and demons in the Great Sun Realm. More than two hundred years ago, he reached the level of gods and demons in the Fenghou."
"I know, it's Marquis Guihai." Liu Qiyue said continuously.
Meng Chuan nodded: "Do you know how Marquis Guihai died?"
Liu Qiyue was stunned and shook her head gently.
"I have checked it carefully." Meng Chuan said, "Gao Cong died in the Jiuqu Pass thirty-six years ago. At the beginning, the world entrance of Jiuqu Pass expanded, and more than thirty third-level demon kings rushed in, and more than 100 second-level demon kings were over. Jiuqu Pass was directly violated, and all seven gods and demons, including Gao Cong, were killed in the battle. Jiuqu Pass has now become a medium-sized city pass, led by Jiuqu Hou."
A long time ago, the human world originally had no demon race, and fighting was also fighting within the human race.
But starting eight hundred years ago, many world entrances appeared, connecting the human world and the demon world.
At the beginning, the world entrance was rare and the entrance was small.
Gradually...
The world's entrances are increasing and expanding. The Great Zhou Dynasty now has seven major city passes, and the number of small and medium-sized city passes is even more amazing.
At that time, Jiuqu Pass encountered the expansion of the world entrance.
"Gao Cong died in Chengguan in battle, which is also common." Meng Chuan shook his head gently, "When Marquis Guihai, he is a thunder-destroying demon body that has reached the Nine Refining Realm, with an extremely fast speed. Many king-senior gods and demons are not as good as him. Even the fifth-level demon king of the demon clan is difficult to chase him. I have checked carefully. According to the records of the Yuanchu Shanou books, he was performing a special task and eventually died."
"Special mission?" Liu Qiyue was also confused.
"I don't know what mission we are. Now we are not even gods and demons, so we're still hiding many things from us." Meng Chuan shook his head gently, "A senior who has reached the Eighth Refining Realm and a Ninth Refining Realm has all died in battle for various reasons."
"Although some people died in battle, more powerful gods and demons have appeared in our human race." Liu Qiyue said.
Meng Chuan also nodded, showing a smile.
That's true.
Perhaps it is under extreme oppression that the entire human race has worked hard to practice and serve on a large scale, forcing many people to burst out potential. Or war has tempered every god and demon, so in the past eight hundred years, there are indeed more powerful gods and demons emerging than in the past. Although occasionally there are gods and demons with the title of marquis and demons, and demons with the title of kings and demons who die in battle, there will also be new gods and demons with the title of marquis and demons with the title of marquis and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons with the title of monarchs and demons!
...
the next day.
Meng Chuan came to Chonghuangfeng alone in front of the treasure building.
"Mr. Meng Chuan?" In the treasure building, the man in the green robe looked at Meng Chuan with a smile, "I wonder what happened to Mr. Meng Chuan?"
"I want to receive a bottle of Six Desire Evils." Meng Chuan said.
"A bottle of six desire evil requires three thousand contributions." The man in green robe smiled.
"My Thunder Destroying Demon Body has reached the Eighth Refining Realm and can be collected for free." Meng Chuan said. It takes ninety bottles to complete the practice. I really need to exchange it for my hard work? He can't afford it!
"Cause for free?" The man in the green robe was shocked. The Eight Refinings of the Demon Body of Thunder Destroying the World? Haven't you heard of it in many years?
